Seeing Du Qi leave, Yi Qi did not continue the work at hand, even though the documents on the desktop had already piled up like a small mountain. He leaned back in his chair, alternating his right index and middle fingers on the tabletop, as if it were some kind of melody. After a few moments, he sat up straight and drew a large question mark on the paper with his pen.

After all, Du Qi was still too young, and although he tried to imitate the actions he had seen in the movie, the mood swings of that moment were still accurately captured by this big man who took pleasure in figuring out people's hearts.

But Yi Qi doesn't understand, what can this kind of drudgery that most people avoid get from the other party? Even the few people they commissioned before were just selling the face of the city lord. Even if he himself stood in the perspective of the person he was entrusted with, he would never take on a troublesome errand with no head and no brains

More than ten minutes later, there was another knock on the wooden door of the office, and before Yi could speak, a man in a short-sleeved linen shirt had already pushed the door in. He looks very ordinary, like a middle-aged man who has been bent over by life, but has to run around for his family. Unlike his rude actions, the man respectfully knelt on one knee while drawing a short sword hidden from his waist and placing it on the ground.

"Good work!" Yi Qi looked at the man quietly, and then said softly: "Hao, I've said it many times, you and I don't have to stick to these etiquettes, get up and talk!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" The middle-aged man's every move seemed to abide by the rules, he first put away the short sword as if he was juggling, and then got up and continued, "My lord, the information has been verified, this Duqi suddenly appeared in the Flying Eagle City seven days ago, and the background information in the early years is complete, and there is no suspicion, but the experience in recent years is almost impossible to find, and it is very similar to the resurrection who was killed by the divine spear. In addition, I have also sent someone to the nearest field branch to verify the identity, and I believe that more news will come back soon. ”

"You also know the situation on the side of the wild waiter, those rigid guys can't buy it at all, they will only confirm whether the badge is fake or not, which doesn't mean anything to us. Hao, judging from the current intelligence alone, how likely do you think he is also a resurrection? ”

"Seventy percent!"

"Seventy percent? Sounds like good news. Yi Qi raised his sword eyebrows lightly, revealing a lazy smile, "Maybe this mysterious child can bring us some surprises." ”

"But my lord, my subordinates think it's a little scary." There seemed to be some kind of change in the man's body, like a sword buried in the mud, and after being wiped and washed, it revealed a sharp edge that had been hidden for thousands of years, "I sent someone to contact Lord Sinta's side, and he has a high opinion of Duqi. If I could, I'd rather cut the grass and eradicate it. But ......"

"Haha, it's really extraordinary to be able to make you use such a word terrible...... But as you know, we haven't done it yet, because we can't find out where they came from. The group of fools in the temple have casually caused themselves a big problem, and maybe one day a behemoth will jump out and make some big news. Hao, excluding the possibility of a certain hidden organization, which force do you think is the most likely? ”

"At least it's certain that it's not the wild servants who are planning this matter, the foundation of the White Jade Kingdom has long been lost, and the Relic Wind City doesn't have such strength, and it is impossible to be so stupid, let alone secretly do this kind of thing that goes against their purpose. The Hunter Guild is also unlikely, and I've stalked several suspected subjects who have a completely different approach than the Monster Hunters. By the way, it is said that the Governor Qi envoy has a good Frost Blade Flow Sword Technique, and there are some possibilities on the side of Frost Yu Valley. However, the Frostblade Sect has built martial arts halls everywhere, and almost everyone who comes, so it is not uncommon for them to order their swordsmanship. ”

"So the final conclusion or no conclusion? Haha, but one thing you said is right, I also think that the wild waiter is likely to be taken advantage of. But we don't have to worry too much about it, the rest is not something you and I can do. You go ahead and get busy with the work at hand, and I'll go see the lord of the castle myself. ”

"Yes!"

To the west of the town hall, just a few streets away, there is a small courtyard of considerable size, which is said to have been the residence of a nobleman, but after being confiscated for crimes, it was converted into the residence of the lord of the castle. Later, it went through several renovations to become what it is today. For security reasons, there are no buildings around the City Lord's Mansion, and the guards outside the Mansion are not the city guards that can be seen everywhere, but the personal guards who obey the orders of the City Lord. The men apparently knew the person who had come, and after a shallow salute, they invited him to go in.

This heavily guarded city lord's mansion was once a playground for Yi Qi as a child, and he walked through several corridors to the back garden planted with star orchids. He knew that the city lord must be here at this time.

There was a marble building the size of a wardrobe in the garden, and Yi Qi pushed open the wooden door and went down the stairs to the dimly lit basement. The basement is small in size, and there is nothing furnished inside, except for a few flaming metal candlesticks around it, except for two cushions and a wooden table in the center.

A middle-aged man of the same age as Yi Qi was sitting there, he exuded an elegant and kind atmosphere, not the slightest ostentatious and domineering, but like a kind and elegant professor. But such a seemingly gentle middle-aged man is the most powerful person in this area, the legendary powerhouse who can wrestle with giant beasts, Shengyan, the city lord of Flying Eagle City. "Yi Pray, what a coincidence, can't it be that I heard that someone gave me a good bar?" He smiled lightly and picked up a small jar of wine and filled another porcelain cup with wine, but not a drop was spilled in the whole process.

"Sorry to disturb your leisure time!" Yi Qi rolled his eyes and sat casually across from Shengyan, raising his glass and sipping down the wine, "A little guy who seems to be a resurrected person found me through Sinta and happily accepted the commission to help us investigate the attack. I think you should be informed about this. ”

Yi Qi briefly described the information he had found and the conversation between Duzi and Sinta, and then took the initiative to fill the empty cups of the two. "It's really good wine!" He let out a loud exhalation, then looked at Shengyan, waiting for his answer.

"Very sharp, very good!" Sheng Yan calmly listened to his friend's description, clapped his hands lightly, and the smile on his face was even bigger, "It seems that I need to go to the temple in person." ”

"I don't understand, why do you think so highly of them?"

"The ones we have been paying attention to are undoubtedly very immature, but the speed of growth is obvious to all. And unlike those barbarians, their education level and knowledge are very high, I pray you ask yourself, that is, in the circle where we nobles were born, how many people can surpass them in terms of vision and pattern? I really can't imagine what kind of force can cultivate a group of such excellent characters. For the sake of what we've been preparing, it doesn't hurt to befriend them. ”

"So ......"

"Let's sell them some favors first, and then cooperate in the future, isn't it?"

"Alright! You are the lord of the city, you have the final say! ”

After chatting about business, the two became more casual, and the topic turned to the daily affairs of Eagle City and some light-hearted and interesting daily routines. After chatting briefly for half an hour, a jar of wine was divided between the two, and Yi Qi took the initiative to leave.

Shengyan also walked out of the basement with his friends, changed into civilian clothes and told his subordinates not to follow, and then left the mansion alone. The lord of the castle went straight to the temple not far away, but he did not enter through the main entrance, but hid in the darkness, and after cautiously avoiding several groups of temple guards, he climbed into the wall from one corner.

This lord of the city is indeed extraordinary, not because of how agile his hand is, but because of his behavior like a thief, but he doesn't see the slightest taste of inferiority. At this time, he was no longer elegant, but more like a nobleman walking in the dark.

Sheng Yan came to the outside of a house in the center of the temple and tapped lightly twice, then after a moment's pause, he knocked three times in a row. Soon he heard footsteps, the door opened quietly, and a young woman welcomed him in. The woman quickly locked the door, then turned and saluted respectfully, while calling out in a soft voice, "Teacher! ”

"Well, it looks like you've learned something about it recently, not bad!" Shengyan raised her hand and patted the woman's head, with a pampering smile on her face. This is his youngest disciple, Bai Shao, and his favorite student.

"The teacher came here late at night, did he have any instructions?" Bai Shao smiled very happily.

"How is the matter of the resurrected going?"

"Don't worry, teacher, my brother and I have been pressing! Several other senior executives were also persuaded by us to agree to clarify the matter and then report it to headquarters. Regarding the resurrection, the teacher has other clues? ”

"Well, a suspected resurrectee named Du Qi took the initiative to contact us and took over the commission to investigate the attack. Uncle Yi and I think this may be a sign of goodwill from the other party, and if it is handled properly, it may be able to lay the foundation for future cooperation. ”

"What do you mean, teacher?"

"As you know, there were some strange cases of those attacks, and I was worried that he would have an accident during the investigation. So, I want you and Dianxing to pay attention, and if he does come back to life in the city, you must find a way to save him. I will also ask Senior Brother Ying Ge to pay attention to this matter in the near future, and you will just pay attention to cooperate when the time comes. ”

"Teacher, of course I don't have a problem, but I think ......" Bai Shao suddenly shut up, looking a little hesitant and a little ashamed.

"What? If you have any doubts, you should boldly say that this matter is very important, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Teacher...... I think...... I feel that something is wrong with Senior Brother Dianxing. Bai Shao hesitated for a long time, and finally said it, but as soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly explained, "Teacher, I didn't mean anything bad about Senior Brother Dianxing, maybe he had doubts about your approach, so he ......."

"I understand that your opinion is very important." Shengyan thought for a moment, and quickly made a choice, "I don't think Dianxing will make a choice that is not good for you and me, he may have his own ideas." In this way, you and Ying Ge will be in charge of this matter for the time being, and I will find time to talk to him on Dianxing's side. ”

After that, the two had a brief discussion about the previous affairs, and after about ten minutes, Shengyan left alone. Looking at the back of the teacher's departure, Bai Shao sighed lightly, with some loss and loneliness in his eyes.

"Rest assured, teacher, I won't let you down!" She flailed her fist lightly, sat back on the bed, and began to meditate with her eyes closed.
