"Duqi, I just received news from the guards at the city gate that you have returned and have been waiting for your arrival here." Yi Qi stood up very enthusiastically to greet him, and personally poured a small half glass of wine for Du Qi. "He is worthy of being a wild servant, reliable and neat. Since you set out, there have been no reports of attacks in the vicinity, and my stress has decreased considerably. Oh...... Feel free and sit! ”

"Thank you, my lord is overrated, I'm just lucky." Du Qi took a sip of his wine glass, sat down on the leather sofa on the west side of the office, and casually placed the wine glass on the coffee table next to him.

"So, you've found the culprit in the assault? Tell me, who did it? ”

"My lord, I killed the criminal, but I'm afraid what I brought back is not the good news you want to hear." Duqi got straight to the point and took out the lizardman's corpse directly from his personal space.

Yi Qi jumped up from the sofa as if he had been pricked by a needle, and asked in surprise, "Is this ...... What is it? cough ......" He quickly remembered the etiquette again, coughed awkwardly, and regained his slightly lazy aristocratic demeanor.

"This is a creature I encountered in the Black Pines Forest, a creature I have never seen before, which I call the Lizardman and the author of four attacks. Judging by the reaction of adults, it seems that they have never seen such a creature before? ”

Yi Qi knelt on one knee, obviously looking through the bloody corpse with his hands, but it didn't give people the slightest feeling of vulgarity and blood. "I haven't even heard of the legends of these creatures, you say they plundered the caravans? Able to handle the site so perfectly, they ...... This lizardfolk must have a high level of intelligence? So what about combat effectiveness? He asked.

"Lizardfolk have a high level of intelligence, have a complete social system, and speak a language I can't understand, and even they know how to take prisoners. Remember the humans who were attacked? Not all of them died, at least some of them were locked up. As for combat effectiveness, I don't know how to describe it exactly, but it's clearly not something that ordinary humans can deal with. Well...... By my personal standards, except for factors such as sneak attacks, I can barely cope with the siege of two lizardmen in a head-to-head battle. In addition, I also encountered a kind of lizardfolk I call the elite, which grew taller and stronger, and whose combat power far exceeded that of the average peer, and I could only barely manage it alone. ”

"The social system? You mean to say that there are a lot of such creatures? Yi Qi's face became a little gloomy, "Do you know what you're talking about?" It is impossible for such creatures to appear in the black pine forests on a large scale silently. ”

"My lord, I won't tell a lie that can easily be exposed. At least one tribe exists in the Black Pine Forest, numbering more than two hundred. Your Excellency, you should know very well what will happen to such a monster if it leaves the Black Pine Forest. To put it mildly, they might even be able to breach the Flying Eagle City. ”

"If what you say is true...... Yi Qi paused, "I can't handle this matter, I must go to see the Lord of the City." In fact, he still didn't want to believe such nonsense, but the corpse of a strange monster lying on the floor of his office forced him to pay attention to the possibility.

Yi Qi didn't waste any more time, he took the governor up to the third floor of the city hall, and went straight to the city lord of Flying Eagle City. Du Qi knew earlier that the city lord of Flying Eagle City was named Shengyan, and he was a very mysterious person.

According to legend, the strength of the city lord is even higher than that of the garrison officer, but few people have seen his true face of Lushan. Ever since he came to this world, Dozi has been assessing the combat power of humans. In this world, there are weak ordinary humans, as well as prayers whose strength seems to be above the player, and there is also the almost fantasy ancestor Bingyu in the legend of the Frostblade School. If the rumors are true, then Shengyan may also be an absolute powerhouse far beyond the players.

When they actually met, Du Qi found that this adult was very different from what he imagined.

Shengyan looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with a very kind face, and there was no sense of oppressive domineering. The only thing he left a deep impression on Duqi was his calmness, whether it was listening to Duzi's description or seeing the strange corpse, his countenance did not fluctuate in the slightest. It wasn't a superficial effort, and Duzi didn't even see any fluctuations in his mood attributes.

This is a character who has really seen big scenes.

"So, that friend of mine said that he would go to see the lord immediately, and asked me to bring a message back, hoping that the Flying Eagle City side would be ready as soon as possible. Once Chishui Castle makes a plan, it will contact the adults. In order to increase the credibility of the news, Duqi did not forget to bring out the new friend.

"What's your friend's name?"

"Hanekawa."

"Hanekawa? Well...... If memory serves, he should be sixteen years old this year, and he should indeed go out and have a good experience. Shengyan chuckled lightly, and his gaze became more kind, "That little guy is very naughty, I thank you on behalf of his father and master for taking care of him these days." ”

"It's all friends, it's nothing. And, I learned a lot from him. ”

"I have such strength at a young age, and I know how to be modest and cautious, and I am really a hero out of a teenager. Pray, you go and make arrangements, we need to assemble an elite team as soon as possible, ready to go out at any time. The logistics side should do its best to cooperate and prepare the materials needed for the expedition as soon as possible. In addition, the city defense side should also be taken into account, if there is an accident because of the lack of defense, I will ask you. Inform the outposts around Eagle City that they will be on red alert from now on, and if anything goes wrong, come and see me. Shengyan quickly issued a few orders, simple and clear, "Finally, go and inform the temple, and say that I personally ordered that they must send the Divine Spear to act with us." Tell them that I will personally lead the operation. Shengyan's voice was very calm, but every command gave people a decisive and domineering feeling.

"Yes!" Yi Qi bowed down to receive the order, and before leaving, he said to the governor, "As for the reward for the mission, you can go to my lieutenant later." ”

"Adults just go and get busy, don't be in a hurry about these little things." Du Qi nodded politely, "Then Lord City, I also take my leave!" If I need help, I'm at the Wild Lily Inn in the city. ”

"Little Brother Duqi, please stay, I still have something I want to talk to you about."

"Your Excellency, please speak!"

"It's nothing, it's just a few small talks, and I want to ask you about something, little brother."

Du Qi didn't continue, but his face became much more serious. He didn't know what Shengyan wanted to ask, but he always had to be careful when interacting with these big people. At this time, he suddenly thought of Yue Min, if these affairs were handled by him, he would definitely do better.

"Haha, it doesn't have to be so serious...... You and Hanekawa are friends, and I have the cheekiness to see you as a junior, so naturally I won't embarrass you. Have you ever heard rumors of a few people coming back from the dead in recent times? For this, they were also hunted down by the temple. ”

Du Qi was slightly stunned, not understanding why Shengyan suddenly mentioned this matter. "I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it. Why, the adults want to entrust me to investigate this matter? To be honest, I'm not very good at things like asking for news. He asked tentatively.

"In fact, I've sent someone to check their information. The origin of those people is very mysterious, as if they appeared in this world out of thin air, and no information can be found at all. I asked my subordinates to visit the surrounding cities secretly, but it seems that this phenomenon only occurs in Flying Eagle City. What's even more interesting is that the mysterious people who were hunted down seem to have the identity of wild servants. ”

"Your Excellency seems to be referring to something?" Du Qi frowned slightly, "You also know that the wild servants have always advocated freedom, and I have no way of knowing other people's secrets. ”

"There is no need to be so vigilant, personally, I am not a fanatical believer in the temple, and I even instructed my cronies to try to save his life if the resurrected wild servant appears again. However, they all seemed cautious, and nothing like it has happened since. ”

"It's not good for an adult to say something like that."

"Are you a believer in the temple and are going to tell the truth? Haha, just kidding...... To tell the truth, Eagle City is my territory, and if the people of the Holy One Sect want to do it, they have to weigh it first. You know, the captains of several Knights of the Holy Yue in the Kingdom of Rocky are all my disciples. ”

Du Qi can now see that Shengyan is making his position clear, and he is also showing his strength. "So, why are you doing this?" He asked.

"I've heard Cinta say you're a smart man, can't you guess?"

"The God of heaven and the king of the earth?" Duqi muttered softly.

"It's so easy to talk to smart people. Regardless, Eagle City is my territory. It's not for anything else, it's just for the safety of the residents of the city, and this time the action is very welcome for all the wild attendants to join. Of course, the remuneration is also very generous. ”

"I can't represent anyone, but I personally will participate in this purge of the purge this time." Du Qi knew that his origin had already been checked, and now that his identity had been exposed, he didn't have to be afraid.

"Yi Prayer promised you that if you can find out the real culprit of the attack, you will gain the friendship of Eagle City. Then, after this purge is over, the wild servants who participated in the operation will become friends of the Rocky Kingdom. Please bring this sentence. ”

"Mission - Clear the Lizardmen Tribe: Operate with the combined forces of Eagle City and Chishui City to destroy the Dakani Lizardmen's tribe in the Black Pines Forest; Rewards: 20 gold coins, Stone Crown City reputation unlocked. ”

After Du Qi left, Shengyan leaned back on the leather sofa, as if closing his eyes to recuperate. He didn't open his eyes until there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

"Teacher, you're looking for me." A plain-looking young soldier dressed in the armor of the city guard walked into the room and greeted respectfully.

"Shadow Ge, keep up with that little brother just now, but remember, even if you can't find anything, it doesn't matter, but you must not be discovered by them. If...... I mean, if we are caught inadvertently, we must show our attitude and never provoke hostility from the other side. Of course, I trust your ability and won't mess things up. ”

"Teacher, is it necessary to be so careful?"

"Isn't it necessary? Tell me, what have you found these days? Where do they come from? How many people are there? What is the purpose? ”

"The disciple is dull, please forgive the teacher."

"No, I trust you. The more they can't be found, the more they show their value. We just need to be cautious, and perhaps we may be able to get a powerful boost for Your Majesty. Okay, there you go. ”

"Yes, the disciple is retiring."
