"Duqi, I received news about you from the city gate guards earlier, and I am still wondering when you will come." Yi Qi warmly stood up to greet him, and personally poured half a glass of wine for Du Qi. After a pause, he sat down in his place again, resuming his languid posture. "Since you set off, there have been no reports of attacks around Eagle City, and my pressure has decreased a lot. Oh...... Feel free and sit! Now that you've come to see me, I guess the matter has been settled? He asked.

"Thank you, my lord has a good reputation, I'm just lucky." Du Qi took a sip of the 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, "Indeed, I found the murderer of the human attack. ”

"Look, who did that?"

"My lord, I killed the criminal, but I'm afraid I brought back not the good news you wanted to hear." Du Qi got straight to the point and took out the lizard Rao's corpse directly from the carry-on space.

Yi Qi slowly sat up straight, his lazy face became serious for the first time, and even his voice became a little sharper. "This ...... What is it? cough ......" He quickly remembered the etiquette again, coughed awkwardly, and his words returned to languid and low.

Du Qi admired the psychological quality of the garrison officer a little, and continued to introduce with emotion: "This is a creature I met in the black pine forest, a creature that I have never seen before, I call it the lizard beast, that is, the initiator of the four attacks. Looking at Da Rao's reaction, it seems that he has never seen this creature? ”

Yi Qi got up and walked around his wide desk, walked to the corpse and knelt down on one knee, and looked at the bloody corpse with his hands without hesitation, but it did not give people the slightest feeling of vulgarity and gore. "I haven't even heard of this creature, could it be some new bad demon? But if they plundered the caravan and could handle the scene so perfectly, they ...... This lizard must have a high level of intelligence. It is impossible for an inferior demon to have such a level of intelligence. ”

"You're right, this lizard beast has a high level of intelligence, not only has a complete social system, but also knows a language that 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. So I don't think they're some kind of bad devil. 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...... According to my personal standards, except for factors such as sneak attacks, in the case of a head-to-head battle, I can barely cope with the siege of two lizards. In addition, I also encountered a kind of lizard that I call the Mutant Species, which grew taller and stronger, and whose combat power far exceeded that of ordinary people, and I could only barely manage it by myself. ”

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

"My lord, I will not say a lie that can be easily 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. You're welcome, they might even be able to breach Eagle City. I can't fathom why the lizardbeasts are in the vicinity on a large scale, but it's likely that they're the same monsters, from some mysterious place. Even...... It is possible that it came from other worlds. My lord, humanity has already suffered a loss. ”

"If you're true...... Yi Qi paused, "I can't handle this matter, I must go and see the Lord of the City." In fact, he still didn't want to believe such nonsense, but the fact that the corpse of a strange monster was lying on the floor of his office at this moment forced him to pay attention to the possibility. What's more, Du Qi's words are not unreasonable, just like human beings still haven't figured out where the monsters came from, if you take it lightly, the disaster a hundred years ago is a bloody lesson.

Yi Qi didn't waste any more time, he took Du Qi up to the third floor of the city hall, and directly found the city lord of Flying Eagle City.

Du Qi didn't expect to meet the city lord directly, he already knew that this big man was mysterious and powerful, but few people could see his true face.

Of course, what Du Qi is really interested in is the strength of this Da Rao. Since coming to this world, players have been looking for ways to assess their own strength, and Yi Qi may be a good reference, but this Shengyan-sama is rumored to be the top existence in Flying Eagle City. Du Qi once read the story of Bingyu, the patriarch of the Frostblade School, and the description was almost mysterious, making people wonder how to distinguish the real from the fake. If anyone can confirm all this, it is the Lord of the City.

Unfortunately, the actual meeting was doomed to be disappointing.

Shengyan looked to be about forty or fifty years old, his face was very kind, and there was no oppressive domineering, his only impression on Du Qi was calmness, whether it was listening to Du Qi's description or seeing the strange corpse, his face did not fluctuate in the slightest. As for whether it was superficial or not, Du Qi couldn't tell, he tried to judge the other party's mood by using the state of those light spots, but failed the first time.

In the city lord, Du Qi could not see anything.

"Therefore, my friend said that he would return to Chishui City to report the situation, and asked me to bring a message back, hoping that the Flying Eagle City side would be ready as soon as possible. At that time, cooperation between the two parties may be required. 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...... That guy will be sixteen in a year, and it's time to go out and have a good experience. Shengyan smiled lightly, and his eyes became more kind, "The guy is very naughty, I thank you on behalf of his father and master for taking care of him." ”

"Your kindness, my lord, I am friends with him. Also, I learned a lot from Hanekawa. ”

"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. Let the logistics side do their 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. Sheng Yan quickly issued a few orders, simple and clear, "Finally, go and inform the Divine Temple, it is I who 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 calm, but every command gave people a sense of inviolability.

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

"Adults are busy, I'm not in a hurry about these 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. ”

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

"Your Excellency, please!"

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

Du Qi did not 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 shots. At this time, he suddenly thought of Yue Min, if this kind of 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 heard some rumors in recent times about how many people have come back from the dead? For this, they were also hunted down by the temple. Shengyan sneered, not knowing which side it was aimed at, "According to the temple, they are the followers of the Death Reaper, and it seems that they have fallen into the darkness and chaos with the Death Reaper, and they are in the company of monsters. ”

Du Qi was slightly stunned, not understanding why Shengyan suddenly mentioned this matter. "I've heard about 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 identities 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 about other secrets. ”

"Don't be so wary, personally, I'm not a fanatical believer in the Holy One, and to get up, I personally like the three gods of war even more. To tell you nothing, I even instructed my cronies to try to save his life if the resurrected wild servant reappears. However, they all seemed cautious, and nothing like it has happened since. ”

"It's not good for adults to say something like this."

"Are you a believer in the Holy One Church and are going to snitch? Looks like I'm going to have to kill someone. Shengyan laughed, "Just kidding...... You're still young, and you'll understand in a dozen years. Flying Eagle City is my territory, and if the Holy One Sect wants to do it, it must be weighed first. You know, some of the embers in the temple are my disciples. ”

Du Qi can now see that Shengyan is showing his position without scruples, and he is also showing strength. "So, why are you doing this?" He asked.

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

Of course, Duzi knew why, but he was a little hesitant and didn't know how to choose. In the end, he replied softly: "The gods should be high, and they should not eat the fireworks of the world." ”

"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 probably been investigated a long time ago, and in addition to his accident, perhaps some players had also been exposed. Now that the identity has been revealed, there is no need 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 attendants who participated in the operation will become my friends, become friends of Chishui City, and become friends of Shiguan City. Please bring this sentence. ”

"Mission - Wipe Out the Lizardfolk Tribe: Join the combined forces of Eagle City and Chishui City to destroy the Dakani Lizardmen's tribe in the Black Pines Forest; Rewards: Twenty gold coins, Chishui City, and Stone Crown City prestige 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 brother just now, but remember that even if you can't find anything, it doesn't matter, but you must not be discovered by them. If...... If I am accidentally discovered, I must show our friendly 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 did you find? Where do they come from? How many people are there, exactly? With what purpose? ”

"The disciple's ability is insufficient, and he has failed to live up to the teacher's expectations."

"No, I believe in your abilities. The more you can't find them, the more you know their value. Now we just need to be cautious, and maybe it may be possible to get a strong boost for us. Okay, there you go. ”

"Yes, the disciple is retiring." Shadowgo took two steps back, and the shadows under the lamp grew darker, as if a black hole was swallowing up the light around them.

The candle flame flickered slightly, and the young soldier had disappeared as if he had never been there.

"The gods should be on high and should not eat the fireworks of the world. That's a good statement, but why don't they understand it? Sheng Yan walked to the window, looking at the drizzle in the gloomy sky, but there was a faint hint of expectation between his eyebrows, "I have a hunch that this world will become more and more interesting." Old man, are you like me, nostalgic for those old days? He subconsciously stroked the spear placed on the wooden frame next to him, but he had long since lost sight of where he had gone.
