"So, for the price of five thousand gold coins, I'll let the two of you go, and I'll give you the antidote. How's that, it's affordable, right? ”

Zheng Jiuye looked at Sophia on the side - Sophia's head was already a little sweaty, and the expression on her face was a little painful, and she had been trying to untie the strip of cloth on her mouth.

"Good...... I'll contact the headquarters to pay the money here, and you give me the antidote. ”

Zheng Jiuye gritted his teeth and replied.

"Just here, please...... But you've got to hurry—"

Before he could finish this sentence, Lichen suddenly fell into a very strange state of confusion, his eyes lost his mind, and his muscles relaxed, so that the words he spoke became elongated syllables.

"That's ...... Golden opportunity! ”

Zheng Jiuye saw that the opportunity had come, and immediately lowered his head and rushed forward, directly snatching the small box in Lichen's hand; Immediately after, the end of Zheng Jiuye's long stick had already hit Lichen's throat.

"Sophia, take it, don't rush to eat it yet."

Zheng Jiuye opened the box and took a look, making sure that it was indeed a pill inside, and then threw the box to Sophia for Sophia to catch it.

"Cut...... If it weren't for the sudden addition of an unknown place in my head just now, I wouldn't have been caught by you! ”

Lichen, who was turned over by Zheng Jiuye in the same posture as the Earl, shouted with disdain - and then after Zheng Jiuye poked this guy's neck, this guy decisively changed to whispering.

"Do you still want to go to that place? And now too? ”

Zheng Jiuye asked.

"How do you know...... Could it be said? You definitely did my weird idea just now, right?! These are all seventh-order skills...... You're actually cheating on me? ”

Zheng Jiuye: "......"

I'm not, I don't......

It's obviously the Seven Sages who are inspired, why do you want to throw the pot on my head? Also, can this kind of person who can kill people casually for money actually become a Seven Sage? According to the saying here, the Seven Holy Ones are God-given...... Is it just that casual?

"Forget it...... I was unlucky to meet an old pervert, so I gave her something that would itch her body and pretend to have the effect of poison, and she would be fine in a few hours. ”

Old pervert, your sister, old pervert! Your whole family is an old pervert!

Wait...... What is given to Sophia to have an itchy effect on the body?

Zheng Jiuye was stunned for a moment, then looked at Sophia, who seemed to be "in some pain", and then beckoned Sophia to come over, and used the dagger in his hand to cut the strip of cloth tied to Sophia's mouth.

"Hahaha, Zheng Jiuye, you're here, hahaha...... I didn't laugh when I tied it just now, and I still can't untie it hahaha...... Puff haha laughed at me hahahaha......"

“……”

Zheng Jiuye's face darkened.

Didn't you just mean to influence my judgment?

"Where do you want to go?"

Zheng Jiuye saw the map of the empire hanging on the wall next to him, so he took the map down and sent it to Lichen's side.

"This ......"

Under the threat of his life, Lichen finally obediently chose a place.

The result is...... The place where Lichen pointed was on the outskirts of a town in the south on the map of the empire, and it was completely different from the place Sophia wanted to go before.

Other possibilities are excluded...... Is this guy really one of the Seven Sages?

"Say, why kill people for money?"

After Zheng Jiuye saw that Sophia was fine, the long stick in his hand was obviously pressed tighter.

Anyway, the Seven Sages don't have any skills like the Seven Swords Combination, and they don't necessarily have to make up seven...... If this guy is really unstable, then it is better to start as soon as possible.

Although this guy didn't inflict fatal poison on Sophia, it may also be due to Zheng Jiuye and Sophia's exaggerated identities; Therefore, the fact that this guy is also one of the Seven Sages makes Zheng Jiuye really uneasy.

"Ahem, who doesn't like money......"

"Tell the truth!"

Zheng Jiuye picked up the dagger, wiped it down the side of Lichen's head, and inserted it into the floor made of stone.

"To make this place independent. I heard about the imperial capital, so I felt that there was a chance...... The imperial capital collects taxes once, and the duke collects taxes again, and many people here have a hard time. ”

Lichen replied.

"Hey...... You're not lying to me, right? Generally, the duke should collect it first, and then hand over a part of the income to the duke...... And the taxes in the imperial capital are not high, so it is impossible to say that it is impossible to reach the level you said? ”

Because the empire's technology tree is quite fast, in other words, the imperial capital can't look down on this money at all; Even if the tax is collected fifty percent, the amount of tax collected here all year round is not as good as the flow of two or three days in the imperial palace of God......

Therefore, the imperial capital is a symbolic harvest for this kind of place, even if the duke adds two percent, it will not come to the point where it is more miserable, right......?

"Huh?"

Lichen looked confused.

"Okay...... Let's just think it's time to kill that guy. ”

Zheng Jiuye sighed, if that's the case, this guy is really damned...... This kind of private overtaxation is quite serious, and if it is handed over to the imperial capital official for judgment, the duke's side will basically not be able to run away with dozens or hundreds of people who are related to the taxation.

"Then why kill people casually?"

You can't run this one, right...... Although the saying that everyone who kills is not guilty of death is said by this guy, it is also true that this guy has killed a lot of people for money.

"It's nothing, it's just trying to kill...... The laws of the empire are too merciful, and those people should have died a long time ago. ”

Lichen looked nonchalant.

"Cut ......"

Zheng Jiuye snorted coldly: "Then why do you want to gather the main members of all the guilds?" Where are they now? ”

"They're ......"

As soon as he finished asking this sentence, Zheng Jiuye felt that something was suddenly wrong with his hand; Immediately after, Zheng Jiuye didn't wait for Lichen to finish speaking, and suddenly lifted the collar of Lichen's shirt that was lying there.

There is a pronunciation circle drawn inside.

At the same time that Zheng Jiuye lifted his collar, the appearance of the person lying there also began to change, and finally turned into a corpse that Zheng Jiuye didn't know at all.

"It's still a real body just now...... How the hell did you escape? ”

The long stick has been pressing the other party's neck in Zheng Jiuye's hand, and Zheng Jiuye has been staring at that guy...... It stands to reason that the other party should have no chance to escape from the current situation, but that guy just disappeared so inexplicably.

"Sophia, let's go...... Let's go to the Seven Sages meeting point! ”

In desperation, Zheng Jiuye could only decide to set off, anyway, he could still block that guy at the meeting point...... And if the duke is found to be dead later, martial law will continue throughout the city; Taking advantage of the riot caused by the death of the duke, it was just enough for Zheng Jiuye and Sophia to leave.
