The duchy generally consisted of a medium-sized main city with walls and other protective measures, as well as dozens of towns of various sizes; The so-called national martial law is actually martial law in the main city, which happens to be an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack border, and its geographical location is surrounded by mountains on three sides......

In other words, there are cliffs on three sides that cannot be climbed...... In fact, the last remaining side was also a terrifying city wall, and Zheng Jiuye felt that it was impossible for him to climb that height before being discovered.

What's more, Zheng Jiuye also brought a Sophia.

"But what is the reason for martial law......

In any case, it is impossible to be under martial law for no reason, and martial law suddenly becomes martial law, right? What's more, although the situation in the imperial capital is indeed very troublesome, but it is more than ten days away from the imperial capital, it is impossible to say that it is because of martial law in the imperial capital......

If the reason for martial law can be found, will it be lifted as soon as possible?

Reluctantly put down the things in his hand, and after changing his outfit slightly, Zheng Jiuye took Sophia and walked towards the direction of the city gate.

The inhabitants of the city basically did not know the reason for martial law, and they all stood outside with wide eyes and stared at each other; Zheng Jiuye thought that the soldiers of the guards might know something, but after only a few steps, the voice that was amplified by the magic circle and seemed a little distorted once again echoed over the entire town.

"I'm Duke Aigil, and I invite the main members of the Seven Guilds to gather at the City Lord's Mansion now, this time the martial law situation is not trivial, and I need your help...... It is not convenient to disclose the details here, but I will let you know after you have gathered. ”

It was completely different from the previous emotionless martial law announcement...... It seems that the previous one was a recording, and this time it was the voice of the Duke of Igill.

Zheng Jiuye shrugged. The Assassin Guild did not distinguish between primary and secondary members, with only two people per town, and a maximum of two cadets; Zheng Jiuye's status as a reserve of the headquarters is even higher than that of a member of this remote branch, and the third-order in this remote place is considered to be strong enough, so he can naturally participate in this invitation.

Then again, may this amplification circle have passed its expiration date, or should it be said that the amplification circle of another world is similar to the cheap loudspeaker of the earth...... I didn't think it was when I played the siren and recording before, but now that it is directly released, the voice of Duke Agil in the town always feels a little weird, how to listen to how there is a smell of sharpening scissors and kitchen knives released by the loudspeaker outside when the earth is on......

"Let's go, go to the City Lord's Mansion...... When the time comes, you should know why martial law is on, right? ”

Zheng Jiuye called out to Sophia and walked towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion with Sophia.

"Martial law...... Is it only in but not out? ”

Zheng Jiuye had just taken a step when Sophia suddenly asked.

"Well...... Although there are cases where you can only enter or exit, this is indeed the case, although you can enter the city, you cannot leave the city during martial law. What's wrong? ”

"Doesn't that mean you don't want people out?"

Zheng Jiuye was speechless: "How can it be as simple as you think...... This is only one of the most normal possibilities, and the specific situation will have to be discussed in the city. ”

Maybe there will be some city lord who is actually a necromancer who has endured for many years, and this time under the pretext of martial law, all the people will be summoned in batches to catch them all...... Well, it seems that the brain hole is a bit big, this world doesn't seem to have a special classification of mages, and necromancy is also a very normal system - after all, technology has developed to this extent, as long as you don't do things like going to someone else's ancestral grave to resurrect a deceased, or don't bring a corpse to use and kill, etc., necromantic spells are nothing unsightly.

What's more, the empire even has a business that signs a contract to sell his dead body to a necromancer in exchange for his family's living expenses in the future...... The higher the tier, the more money you can sell; If there is a person whose family is not very wealthy and wants to sell his corpse in a place like the God Capital, there will even be a small auction for this...... Well, the participant necromancer, auctioned off his own body...... Ahem, corpses.

I don't know how this messy business is carried out in this world......

But it's practical enough. If the corpse of the seventh order is transformed by a necromancer of the same level with enough strength, the strength can catch up with the eighth-order professional, and it does not know the pain, will not get tired, and has no concept of death - there are even some techniques that can make the corpse maintain the fighting skills before death; In addition, the fact that mages are not classified means that although they focus on necromancers, it does not mean that necromancers will not use other types of magic...... While controlling the corpse charge, the mage can also draw a meteorite or something in the back, and under normal circumstances, the effect is almost invincible at the same level.

Zheng Jiuye came to the door of the City Lord's Mansion while chatting with Sophia about the fact that in the novels of the earth, all necromancers are basically negative images. In fact, the exchange between Zheng Jiuye and Sophia ended in failure - just as Zheng Jiuye couldn't understand how the necromancer's industrial chain was formed here, Sophia couldn't understand why a "very ordinary" or even "a little strong" professional branch in the story told by Zheng Jiuye turned into something like rats crossing the street and everyone shouting and beating......

Terrible cultural differences.

The Lord's Mansion is located at the back of the city against the wall, because it was originally the royal palace of a certain country, so it still looks very luxurious, but the building is slightly old due to hundreds of years of weathering; When Zheng Jiuye walked all the way up the only road to the City Lord's Mansion, he happened to see the head of the Assassin Guild in this town.

The head of the union is generally a man and a woman, the men generally develop combat ability and train to become skilled assassins, and the women are generally snipers like Teacher Randy or pure assassins--to Zheng Jiuye's development is more special, a brainless fireball, a knife-carrying peerless; It is estimated that after Zheng Jiuye takes over the union at the headquarters, no one will dare to issue an assassination mission for a long time......

Zheng Jiuye encountered a male assassin among the two assassins, a wolf orc of race, with obvious wolf ears on his head.

"Hello, Mr. Zheng."

The male assassin bent slightly at Zheng Jiuye.

"Well, let's go in together," Zheng Jiuye nodded, "It just so happens that I don't have my curfew pass on me...... It's up to you to get me in. ”

Soon, dozens of people dressed in different shapes gathered in the conference room of the City Lord's Mansion and sat in a circle around the table.
