Lily, who originally planned to leave while nothing had happened now, was told by Zhen Xiang to wait until the rain stopped before leaving, although Lily was in a hurry, she couldn't urge Zhen Xiang in righteous words.

When he came downstairs to the hotel, Zhen Xiang originally planned to find the boss to buy breakfast, but when he went downstairs, he saw several soldiers talking to the boss.

The soldiers didn't react much after seeing Zhen Xiang, and one of them said to the boss: "If you see an orc, you must tell us quickly, you know?" ”

"Okay, okay, absolutely." The boss smiled and was about to send the soldiers away, but Zhen Xiang walked up.

"What happened to the orcs?" Zhen Xiang was still a little sensitive to the topic of orcs, and she asked a few soldiers, "What are you going to do if there are orcs?" Arrested? ”

One of the soldiers replied, "Last night, an orc infiltrated the castle lord's mansion in an attempt to assassinate the castle lord, but was found and fled. We're looking for that orc right now, so if you encounter an orc, be sure to let us know as soon as possible. ”

Orcs infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion? It's kind of amazing. Zhen Xiang sighed at the orc, but he didn't know that the orc in their mouth was himself, but Lily in the back knew that what they were talking about was most likely Zhen Xiang. Of course, Lily wouldn't have told them about it, and as long as Lily didn't say it, basically no one would know.

Zhen Xiang continued to ask the soldiers: "What are you going to do if you catch that orc?" Taken as slaves like other orcs? ”

"No, assassinating the city lord is a felony, and if you catch it, you will be sentenced to death."

Death penalty? Zhen Xiang was a little anxious, she felt that no one had killed anyone, would it be too much to be sentenced to death if she was caught?

But this guy doesn't want to think about it, it's going to assassinate the city lord. If she succeeds, she will pay it back?

Zhen Xiang simply wanted to save the orcs, even if the other party was an orc who wanted to do bad things.

Lily immediately went up and grabbed Zhen Xiang and said in her ear: "Sister Zhen Xiang, don't worry so much, we still have our things to do." ”

"But they're going to catch the orcs and kill ......"

"That's none of the business with us, is it? The orcs themselves failed to assassinate the city lord and deserved to be caught, and you're not sure if they could catch that orc, right? ”

However, no matter what Lily said, Zhen Xiang would not be willing to let this matter go like this, and she asked the soldiers, "Can I go and see the city lord?" ”

Lily hurriedly said, "What do you see the city lord doing!" ”

"I'm going to talk to the city lord and see if I can get him not to kill that orc."

Lily was helpless, what was this guy thinking? Can a few words of oneself make the person who is about to be assassinated give up trying the prisoner?

What's more, the prisoner is yourself......

Wait, Lily thinks about it, it doesn't matter how Zhen Xiang mixes in - because Zhen Xiang is usually a human being, as long as Zhen Xiang is not turned into an orc, no one will be able to find the real murderer.

Thinking so, Lily let go of Zhen Xiang's hand: "It's up to you, but don't waste too much time, we still have to go to the temple." ”

Zhen Xiang then asked a few more soldiers, "Is it okay?" I want to see the lord of the city. ”

However, the soldier naturally refused sternly: "No, the city lord can't see anyone now-I only met the assassin last night, and now everyone is suspicious, and no outsiders can be allowed to see the city lord." ”

"Aren't assassins orcs? I'm not an orc. Zhen Xiang said and spun around in place, as if to show that he didn't have orc ears and tails: "Look? I'm certainly not an orc. ”

"If you can't say it, it's ......"

"Wait." One of the soldiers stepped forward and said, "I can take you to the lord of the city, and you and your companions will come with you." ”

Lily was a little surprised, why did this soldier agree? It stands to reason that no one will agree to such an impertinent request, but the soldier in front of him agreed without the permission of the city lord.

Lily was a little skeptical, this guy should have some intention to take Zhen Xiang to see the city lord, right?

But it didn't matter what the intentions were, she didn't believe that she and Zhen Xiang couldn't rush out of the City Lord's Mansion if they joined forces.

It's really not possible to show the identities of himself and Zhen Xiang to deter the other party, and the steel-level adventurer is already an existence that can make the country pay attention, not to mention the saintess of Zhen Xiang, the temple.

The soldier pulled the innkeeper aside and said something before he came over and said to the two, "Then let's go and see the lord of the city." ”

The two followed the soldiers out of the hotel, and the soldier who had said he was going to take them to the lord of the city explained a few words to the other soldiers, and then led the two to the lord's mansion alone, while the other soldiers continued to inquire about the whereabouts of the orcs.

"Are you two travelers passing by?" On the way, the soldier asked, "Look at this little sister as if she is an adventurer, but what about this young lady?" ”

Zhen Xiang replied, "I'm just a passing Kamen Rider." ”

"Huh?" The soldier didn't understand what Zhen Xiang said, but it seemed that he didn't intend to tell him his true identity, so the soldier asked again, "Where are you going to go?" Or is it just aimless travel? ”

"Temple." Zhen Xiang replied.

"Temple?" The soldier was surprised, and then said, "Did you hear about the flood that had befallen the temple?" ”

Unexpectedly, the soldier's unintentional words allowed Zhen Xiang and Lily to get the news they hadn't gotten - the temple had been flooded.

Zhen Xiang and Lily glanced at each other, and then asked, "What happened to the flood in the temple?" ”

"Huh? Don't you know? The soldier replied, "News came from the temple the other day that for some unknown reason the temple had suffered a huge flood that had washed down the entire island, and now cities across the mainland are sending supplies to the temple to rebuild the temple." I thought you knew about it. ”

Zhen Xiang also understood why the magic arrays of the various sub-halls could not be connected to the temple, it seemed that the magic arrays were destroyed in the flood.

However, this also made Zhen Xiang a little worried, how could the temple be flooded for no reason? And Tang Yuhan, that guy is in the temple now, right? Could it be an attack?

Who draws the flood to flood the other when it strikes? Bai Suzhen or the Dragon King of the Four Seas? It's impossible to think about it, after all, the world's most powerful magician, Aniah, needs to travel thousands of miles from the sea to attract floods......

Zhen Xiang realized that the temple they said was flooded, could it be caused by them throwing the scroll into the sea that day......

No, no, no, that's what Ania told them to throw in, and strictly speaking they didn't have any fault, they were doing what Ania asked.

Zhen Xiang was still holding on to the luck mentality that the temple was flooded and had nothing to do with her, and during the time she was thinking, she also came to the City Lord's Mansion with the soldier.

He was taken to the reception room by the soldiers to wait, and the soldiers went to inform the lord of the city.

"Don't you think it's going too well?" Lily said to Zhen Xiang, "Would a city lord be willing to meet two people who have never met someone who doesn't know their identity?" Wilde only became aware of your identity after meeting us face to face. How could this soldier help the city lord make decisions? ”

Zhen Xiang didn't know, Lily was suspicious. Not long after, the lord of the city came to the reception room.

Zhen Xiang looked at the city lord and felt a little familiar, as if he had seen this city lord somewhere.

And the city lord also felt the same way, Zhen Xiang's face looked extremely familiar.

After all, the two of them had met last night - but Zhen Xiang had no self-consciousness at that time, so even if he saw this city lord, he didn't remember. And the assassin in the eyes of the city lord is an orc with a patterned face, not a human in front of him.

It's just that the soldiers beside him, that is, the soldiers who brought Zhen Xiang and them, rushed in after they were frightened last night.

This soldier felt a little familiar when he saw Zhen Xiang's back just now, and it was somewhat similar to the clothes that the orc was wearing last night. Although he didn't seem to be an orc, Zhen Xiang was still very suspicious, so he brought Zhen Xiang back and told the city lord about it.

The city lord looked at Zhen Xiang in front of him and felt that it was indeed somewhat similar, but after all, one was a human and the other was an orc.

Could it be that last night I was dressed as an orc, but in fact humans are the real thing?

If so, it's not impossible, after all, it would basically allow them to focus all the clues on the orcs - a good example of this, the soldiers of the entire city are looking for suspected orcs, but they don't want to find humans.

But if it was really the person in front of her, why didn't she change her clothes after the failed assassination last night, and even appeared in front of the soldiers in this outfit?

They couldn't understand Zhen Xiang's behavior, Zhen Xiang saw that the city lord stared at him for a long time and didn't speak, so he spoke first: "City lord? ”

"Huh? Oh oh, hello. The city lord coughed and said, "I am the city lord of this city, Hayden. I heard that these two are travelers passing through this city, do you have anything to do with me? ”

"Ah, hello Lord Hayden, my name is Lilith and I'm an ordinary traveler." Zhen Xiang immediately said his purpose straight to the point: "I actually want to discuss something about the orc you are looking for. ”

As soon as he heard Zhen Xiang mention the matter of the orcs, the city lord and the soldiers around him immediately became alert.

And the soldiers also looked out of the window at this time - the other soldiers hiding outside the window had already set up an ambush according to the orders of the city lord, and they would rush in and subdue the two of them if there was any emergency.

"Oh? The orc thing? Hayden leaned forward slightly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Castle, aren't you going to catch the orc who assassinated you? But that orc ...... Did it hurt you? ”

Hayden replied, "No, I found her standing on my balcony last night before she could do anything...... Miss Lilith asks what this is for? ”

"I mean—since the orc didn't hurt you, how do you know if the other man is an assassin? Maybe it's just a walk in the middle of the night and accidentally going to the wrong door? Zhen Xiang was completely nonsense when she said this, but she didn't expect her nonsense to be true......

Hayden snorted coldly and said, "Squatting on the balcony of the City Lord's Mansion in the middle of the night and staring at the City Lord, did you accidentally go to the wrong door?" ”

"It may be ......" Zhen Xiang coughed, and then said, "But Lord City, you are not injured now, and you have no losses." Wouldn't it be a little hasty to arrest people like this......"

"Do you mean to wait until my head is moved before you order someone to be arrested?" Hayden didn't plan to continue talking to Zhen Xiang, he had already concluded that Zhen Xiang was definitely inextricably linked to the assassin even if he wasn't the assassin last night: "You must be interceding for the assassin, right?" Arrest this guy and interrogate him severely, this guy must have something to do with the Assassins. ”

"Wang Defa?" Zhen Xiang didn't expect this city lord to arrest himself so hastily, how could he have anything to do with the assassins?

To be honest, the city lord didn't do anything wrong, and they determined that Zhen Xiang looked very similar to the assassin last night, so he was arrested. But Zhen Xiang himself didn't know, he only thought that this city lord was an incompetent and mediocre person.

Lily was helpless, she also guessed that Zhen Xiang's appearance last night was very likely to be seen, but she didn't expect the city lord to really let people arrest them first.

Then a group of soldiers rushed in from outside the door, pointed sharp spears at the two men, and Hayden said: "Put the two of them in the dungeon and torture them, and if they don't give an honest account, they will continue to torture until they say so." ”

Seeing a group of soldiers surrounding them, the two of them did not panic, but Zhen Xiang was a little angry and said, "What do you want to do?" I'm just here to advise you not to arrest people without proof that the other person is an assassin, you ......"

The tip of the gun pointed forward and threatened Zhen Xiang so that she could not continue, Zhen Xiang looked at Lily, but Lily was just sighing.

Why do you sigh when she is? Naturally, it's because of the weakness of being a thief. She knew that the assassin was Zhen Xiang, but she couldn't say - you could have been judged to be an assassin if you were lying on someone's balcony in the middle of the night and peeping at others, so was they catching you?

There was no way, Lily had no choice but to pull Zhen Xiang and whispered: "Sister Zhen Xiang, let's not be impulsive for the time being, just close the dungeon, if there is a conflict at this time, it will not be good for us." ”

Zhen Xiang didn't quite understand why Lily wanted to stop herself, but since that was the case, she should be obedient.

Immediately, Zhen Xiang raised his hands: "Okay, okay, you guys are good......

Lily was escorted to the dungeon with Zhen Xiang and locked in a cell.

Sitting in the damp cell, Lily said, "This is the first time I've been in a cell......

"This is the second time for me." Zhen Xiang sat on the ground and said, "Why don't you let me fight back?" It's clear that those guys did something wrong on their own......"

"Sister Zhen Xiang, I'll tell you the truth." Lily saw that the soldiers had left now, and she probably wanted to go back and ask how to interrogate, so Lily told Zhen Xiang: "Actually, I know who that orc is and where it is." ”

Zhen Xiang was startled and asked, "Where is it?" How would you know? ”

"Because last night I saw an orc sneaking out of the city. And from the direction she fled, it should be the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"Really?" Zhen Xiang said suspiciously: "I suspect that you are fooling me." ”

"What am I fooling you for?" Seeing that the timing was just right at this time, Lily then opened the iron barred door of the cell, as if it was pulling open two fritters, "We don't need to waste time with that city lord, didn't we hear that the temple was washed away by the flood just now, Sister Zhen Xiang, aren't you in a hurry to go back and see what the situation is?" ”

Zhen Xiang then remembered the things he had just heard about the temple, and the things in his head jumped from the orc side to the temple side, Zhen Xiang hurriedly followed Lily out of the cell.

Leaving the dungeon and returning the way before, he didn't encounter any soldiers on the way.

"What's going on? Leave us alone if you lock us up here? Lily originally thought that there would be some conflict on the way, but it turned out that there was no one at all, which surprised Lily.

This was obviously wrong, Lily hurriedly stopped, and Zhen Xiang also stopped.

"What's wrong?" Zhen Xiang asked Lily, "Is there anything ahead?" ”

"No, but it's strange because there isn't." Who would leave a newly captured prisoner in a prison cell? Aren't you afraid of someone else escaping from prison?

This was really Lily's concern, after all, how could those soldiers know that these two people could get out so easily, and the door of the dungeon was like a fritter to them.

The two of them proceeded cautiously, and soon walked out of the dungeon gates, which were not even guarded.

"What's the situation? How can there be such irresponsible soldiers? "I guess I was looking forward to being found and then the two of them broke out of the City Lord's Mansion together, Lily saw that they were about to reach the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and no one had appeared to stop them.

"Let's go, let's climb over that wall." Zhen Xiang said to Lily: "Outside this wall is a street with fewer people, so if you go out from here, no one should find out." ”

That's it, since no one came to stop them, it would be a good thing, Lily and Zhen Xiang immediately prepared to climb out of the wall.

But at this moment, Zhen Xiang looked at the trees growing by the wall and fell into deep thought.

"This tree...... I don't think it looks familiar. "Zhen Xiang seems to have remembered this tree somewhere, just recently.

"Familiar? Isn't it just an ordinary tree, what's ......" When she saw the leaves, Lily suddenly realized that the leaves that Zhen Xiang had glued to his clothes this morning were somewhat similar to the leaves of this tree. Fortunately, Lily secretly took it for her in the room at that time, otherwise it would be very likely that Zhen Xiang would have remembered it if she found it herself.

And at this moment, Zhen Xiang jumped on the branch, and Zhen Xiang, who was squatting on the branch, looked at the balcony opposite, which was the balcony of the city lord Hayden's study.

Lily had a bad premonition, Zhen Xiang's eyes she had seen before, they were only there when she was about to become an orc!
