The snow fell on the maple valley, and some birds were startled.

This is already the depths of the Maple Leaf Valley, and the battle movement just now has already kept most of the demonic beasts away from this battlefield, and only the crystal nucleus of the manticore is left in place and no one collects it.

Thorn Paper Yi stood there alone, she was at the apex of the triangle, and the other two corners of the triangle were Lan Che, who was surrounded by holy flames, and Purple Spring, who had opened the body of the Origin.

The three people present didn't know that in fact, they had such a deep relationship with each other, and they didn't have to be so tense.

In fact, Ziquan and Lan Che had heard of the incident in the City of Eternal Night, relatively speaking, Lan Che, who was in Lan Lan at that time as the third nobleman surnamed Lan, knew more details.

But she didn't know that Thorn Paper was the maiden city lord.

The status of Thorn Paper in that incident is okay to say that it doesn't matter, and it's not bad to say that it affected the process.

The equivalent exchange she completed with Ao Xuehua made Ao Xuehua decide to participate in this event as the Ottoid Empire, rather than simply stay out of it.

And she herself, who also lost her father in that incident, received incomparable prestige and Ye Qing's personal promise, Ao Xuehua handed over the restored Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp to her, making her naturally the youngest city lord since the establishment of the empire, in charge of the complicated affairs of a county.

At the private banquet held by Ye Qing on the shore of the Holy Lake, she was one of the participants.

The Xingche clan owes her a promise, and Xi Che owes her an account.

Before the events of the City of Eternal Night, she was just a proud and vain superficial aristocratic girl, but after that night, she became an indispensable character in the empire.

However, they don't know any of this.

The snow rustled silently at this time, and the cold air was like the atmosphere between them at this time.

originally had a good start, but the trust was worn out little by little, and finally when they were close to their destination, they finally broke openly, and the identity hidden by the thorn paper clothes became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Snowflakes fell around Purple Spring, but none of them could fall on her, and the flames that seemed to be gentle and bright vaporized the snow into an ethereal mist the moment it came into contact.

"How can you make us believe you?" Ziquan didn't let her guard down at all when she heard what she said.

Thorn Paper Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, then lowered her head and carefully tore off the disguised skin on her face, revealing the delicate and beautiful girl's face, she shook her head, and calmly looked at the two Ye Ye students in front of her who regarded themselves as enemies: "You and I have never been in life, how can Paper Yi make you believe in me completely." ”

Two years ago, this girl was still the daughter of an ordinary and arrogant city lord, self-contained but not easy, she would not hide her likes and dislikes, she liked what she liked, hated what she hated, revered what she feared, and trampled on what she trampled on.

However, now, she stood there plainly, not at all debunked cramped, two years of life as a city lord had made her grow a lot, even exceeding the highest expectations of many people.

"But in other words." Thorn Paper went on to say that she didn't defend too many useless things, she only said undoubted things.

"At this moment, you are mercenaries." Her fingers swept over the two maidens, then pointed at herself. "And I am your employer, and as long as I pay enough, you are obligated to accompany me in the next tasks."

She didn't say anything about secrets, she didn't say anything about deception, she only said the most fundamental relationship.

The simplest contractual relationship between her and Ziquan Lanche is still going on, and it has not been dissolved because of her concealment.

Lan Che was so satisfied with her answer that she was a little impressed, and the white holy flame wrapped around her slender fingertips with a little deterrence: "In this way, the Lanyin City Lord is seriously ill and needs frost maple grass treatment or something, it's all a lie." ”

"Lies are one of the natural skills of girls." Thorn Paper made a faint joke, then nodded.

"Yes."

"It's an open statement, and I need to take this opportunity to avoid visitors before I can come here."

"Why?" Ziquan asked suspiciously.

She was a city lord of noble status, why would she deign to come to such a dangerous place.

Thorn Paper Yi laughed at himself, and his fingers swept around: "Of course it's because of here, this herb dense land, Maple Leaf Valley." ”

Her voice suddenly grew stronger.

"I want to get it back instead of being overrun by a bunch of monsters."

"Just you?" Lan Che smiled sarcastically, in this state, she was strong and calm, and she was in a state of being neck and neck with a black belly.

Of course, the two of them could see that even the Thorn Paper Clothes at this time were not very strong, but they only had some kind of powerful defensive spirit weapon, so they could talk to them here without fear.

Thorn Paper was not angry: "That's what I am." ”

Lan Che stopped smiling and recalled the last details about the City of Eternal Night.

The Bearlight lamp was destroyed and collected by the Ottoid Empire.

The Xingche clan retreated and apologized to the Lanye Empire.

The content of the reparation is gold and jade, a promise, with three scrolls.

The promise is that within a hundred years, the Lan Che clan will prevent the next catastrophe for Lanyin City.

Scrolls are forbidden scrolls made by the Star Lord himself.

Lan Che's expression changed - the corresponding entity of these compensation should actually be Lanyin City, so the person who mastered these was the current Lanyin City Lord.

So now the thorn paper clothes in front of him are not only proficient in the use of the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp, but also have three sage scrolls in his hand that do not know the efficacy.

I'm afraid this can wipe out a Heavenly Realm powerhouse, she said, "Just like me", it's really not an exaggeration at all.

So when Ziquan spoke, his voice was extremely solemn: "Forbidden Spell Scroll? ”

"It seems that my sister knows my details after all." Thorn Paper Yi was not panicked at all when she was told to be broken, after she was told her identity, she called Lan Che sister in a grand manner, after all, she is seventeen years old this year, and she really wants to grow Lan Che a little, which is about the same age as Ziquan.

"In that case." Ziquan didn't know much about all this, so he was more calm.

Ge Sheng had told her the story, but there was really not much intersection between Thorn Paper and him, and it was not the point in the story at all, so Ziquan couldn't accurately connect the person who was vaguely present in the story with the person in front of him.

So she asked the heart of the question lightly: "Why us?" ”

"The Crows recommended you to me." Thorn Paper didn't hide it at all, and said lightly.

Seeing the puzzled looks of the two people, she smiled: "The black crow serves me, but he is not my person, he belongs to Xicheng, and he and I are just a cooperative relationship." ”

Ziquan suddenly had a toothache.

Having said that, there are really a lot of blood transfusions from the Scarlet Heart Gym to Xicheng, and each generation of the Gym Owner is not clear about the relationship between the Mountain Lord, and the black crow was born in the Scarlet Heart Gym, so it is not surprising that it has something to do with Xicheng.

Then with Xicheng's intelligence ability, it is not surprising that he can grasp the whereabouts and general ability of the two of them.

That's why I recommend it!

"Originally, I was just looking for a strong mercenary team led by the Crow to escort me to the depths of the Maple Leaf Valley, but the Crow finally recommended you to me, and promised that your strength was far beyond my imagination, and there would be unexpected gains."

"I trusted him, so I followed you here."

"Now it seems." Thorn Paper's smile has an intriguing flavor.

"The two people he recommended to me seemed to be a bit too much."
