Chapter 252: The Missing Child
"No, it's just that I want to come and learn from the extraordinary heroism of the heroine, and at the same time see if I can do some modest help." Lin Zhi hugged his fists, and then said respectfully. In fact, there was no other reason for attracting Lin Zhi to come, because this woman had a big exclamation mark on her head, which was a sign of a mission.
"So, you're willing to help this woman." Listening to Lin Zhi's flattering words, the woman's tone also relaxed, revealing some smug looks, and then said suspiciously.
"Chivalry is what I have always longed for, and if you don't mind, I can fight with you." Lin Zhi arched his hand again, and then said what he thought.
"In that case, let's go with the two of us to solve the recent youkai trouble." The woman listened to Lin Zhi's words, and suddenly felt that it was much more pleasing to the eyes of Lin Zhi, and then said.
"Not an honor." Lin Zhi said resolutely again.
"Young generals, my sister is going to hunt monsters with this companion, you go home first, remember, don't leave the house at night, otherwise if the monsters see it, they will ...... you Eat! The woman turned around and said to the children behind her, and when she said the last sentence, she put her hands into claws and put on a very vicious face.
"It's scary, it's scary, we're going home." The children listened to the woman's words, screamed, and ran away.
"Qin Nuxia, I don't know what we should do next?" Lin Zhi said with some curiosity when he saw that the woman scared away the children who were practicing martial arts and walked towards him.
"Since you're going to hunt demons with me, I'll tell you about the current situation. Indigo City is the closest human city to the Blackwood Forest, there are many monsters in the Blackwood Forest, and the strength is not low, it has brought a lot of trouble to the county, and it is the most important monster gathering place. The woman named Qin Duan quickly introduced the situation of Indigo City to Lin Zhi.
"I wonder where the rest of the youkai gathered?" Lin Zhi listened to the other party's words, and also noticed the difference in the other party's language, and couldn't help but be a little curious about other monster gathering places.
"There is also the Lock Demon Tower in Indigo City, which is full of some profound monsters, and ordinary people are not opponents." The woman thought for a moment, then continued,
"But you don't have to worry, the Lock Demon Tower has a seal laid by the powerful people of the Xuanyue Sect, and the monsters inside can't come out, so it's safe." The woman seemed to be afraid that Lin Zhi would retreat, so she hurriedly explained.
"I don't know what happened to the youkai who caused the trouble this time?" Lin Zhi nodded and said. Since Zifeng is willing to ask himself to explore, it means that the monsters here are not invincible.
"I don't know about this, but I know that many children in the county have been captured by monsters, and the situation is very critical. If we don't save them, they will be very lucky. The woman named Qin Duan thought for a moment and said.
"Do the officials have any clues? I saw that there were many officers and soldiers at the gate of Indigo City conducting routine inspections, and I think it must have something to do with this incident. Lin Zhi was also a little speechless about the other party's preparation for action if he didn't know the situation, but he still tried to ask the other party.
"Those officers and soldiers have sealed the information, where do I have a chance to know." The woman spread her hands and said casually.
"And since we don't know anything about these clues, where do we start?" Lin Zhi also felt that he had met an unreliable partner, so he said a little angrily.
"Those officers and soldiers should know some inside information, and we can quietly eavesdropping...... No, look into the situation. The woman thought for a moment, then said with a wicked smile.
"Since Your Excellency has already planned, then I will accompany you on a journey." Lin Zhi also nodded, in the case of knowing nothing about the enemy, the other party's plan was somewhat feasible.
"Not yet, it's better to wait until night falls, you go about your own business first, and we'll meet here at eight o'clock in the evening." The woman named Qin Duan finally said somewhat reliably.
Lin Zhi nodded, agreed to the other party's suggestion, and then left the competition arena to do other tasks.
After walking for a while, Lin Zhi saw a middle-aged woman in front of a wooden tile house, and there was also a big exclamation mark on the other party's head. Lin Zhi was overjoyed, and then rushed over.
"This friend, I see that your brows are tightly knit, I don't know what happened, is there anything I can do for you?" Coming to the front of the middle-aged woman, Lin Zhi said very casually.
"You're an adventurer, please save my child, he's been captured by a monster." The middle-aged woman looked at Lin Zhi's dress, then showed some begging looks, and said.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to save your child." When Lin Zhi heard this, he quickly said. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, every parent hopes that their children can grow up well.
In the following time, Lin Zhi took a turn in Indigo City again, and most of the tasks he received were to ask for help to find his missing child. Lin Zhi accepted all these tasks, which did not contradict his next actions.
After doing some tasks to help kill monsters and completing a task of delivering a letter, Lin Zhi basically turned around Indigo City, looked at the time, it was still more than half an hour away from the eight o'clock agreed with Qin Dui, and Lin Zhi decided to go to the Lock Demon Tower to have a look, which was the tallest building in the county.
Coming to the Lock Demon Tower, looking at the huge tower body towering into the sky, Lin Zhi suddenly felt very small. After calming down, Lin Zhi walked towards the bottom of the Lock Demon Tower.
When he arrived at the bottom of the tower, Lin Zhi saw that around the teleportation array at the entrance of the Lock Demon Tower, there were two young men holding a three-foot Qingfeng Sword guarding him, and he was about to approach, but he was stopped by the other party.
"Lock the forbidden land of the Demon Tower, don't approach the idle people." The other party compared the sheathed sword in front of him, and then stopped Lin Zhi from approaching, it was their duty to guard the lock demon tower.
"Friend, I'm an adventurer from the Imperial Continent, I wonder if I can enter the Demon Lock Tower to practice?" Lin Zhi didn't force his way in, explained his identity to the other party, and then asked.
"Only adventurers who have the approval of the elders are allowed to enter." The other party did not back down, and said sonorously.
"Where are your elders now?" When Lin Zhi heard this, he was also unwilling to retreat easily, and asked with the mentality of giving it a try. As soon as Lin Zhi's words fell, the teleportation array behind the two young men flickered, and then the two of them bowed their heads slightly, revealing respectful looks.
"Adventurer, your current strength is not enough to enter the Lock Demon Tower, you should work hard." The white light flashed, and a white-haired old man with a whisk in his hand appeared, and his voice came unhurriedly.
"Elder, when will I be able to enter the Lock Demon Tower?" Knowing that his strength was still insufficient, Lin Zhi was not discouraged, and then said with some curiosity.
"Adventurer, when you comprehend the power of the realm, you can almost give it a try." The other party said simply, and then disappeared on the teleportation array.
Seeing the old man leave, Lin Zhi also put away his thoughts and rushed to the martial arts training ground agreed with Qin Duan.
When I arrived at the martial arts training ground, I found that there was still some time before eight o'clock in the evening, so I looked at the wooden stakes on the martial arts training ground.
Approaching the wooden stake, Lin Zhi quickly received a system prompt: whether to launch an attack on the wooden stake.
Lin Zhi chose yes with a novel mentality, and then found that he quickly entered the state of martial arts training, and there were some humble experience gains every second, which made him smile.
After practicing martial arts for a while, Lin Zhi felt a cool breeze blowing behind him, and when he turned around, he found that Qin Duan was already standing behind him, looking at him with a hint of a smile.
"Friend, you're still quite punctual, let's go to the government to investigate." Qin Duan saw Lin Zhi turn around, and then said simply. As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped lightly, and a few flashes appeared in the distance.
Seeing this, Lin Zhi quickly put away his leisure and quickly followed.
After galloping for a while, they appeared next to a huge mansion, surrounded by high walls of brick and stone, and the doorway was guarded by two guards.
Qin Duan quickly came to the corner of the high wall, looked at the guards guarding the courtyard gate, and then retracted his head, waved his hand, and signaled Lin Zhi to come with confidence, while he climbed towards the courtyard wall and entered the courtyard.
Seeing that Qin Duan successfully entered the courtyard, Lin Zhi was not far behind, and climbed flexibly like a monkey, and also entered the courtyard and appeared behind a big tree.
Entering the courtyard, Lin Zhi and Qin Duan quickly covered their figures, because the two of them also realized that there were several patrolling guards in the courtyard.
After the guards had left, Qin Duan quickly rushed to the front of a house, and then continued to move along the back side of the house, and Lin Zhi also followed carefully.
The two walked for a while, and Qin Duan stopped in front of the window of a house and listened. Knowing that this was most likely the room where the high-level officials of the government were located, Lin Zhi also rushed over cautiously.
After a while, Lin Zhi and the others heard the wooden door of the house creak, and they also held their breath all of a sudden.
"It's Xiao Zhao, is there any news of the missing child?" Soon came the voice of a man with a bit of vicissitudes.
"Lord Fu Yin, we have strictly guarded the city gate, but we have not found any traces of monsters, and the other party is also afraid to think about it." A loud voice followed.
"Time is running out, and rescue plans for the affected children need to be accelerated." The first man's voice came, urging. The second voice quickly responded, and then exited the room.
Carefully hidden, waiting for the guard surnamed Zhao to lead the team away, Lin Zhi and Qin Du were about to leave, but they found a dark shadow, sneakily came to the residential area, and then rushed towards a wooden house with no lights.
