Chapter 45: Meet the City Lord

As soon as everyone came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, they were stopped by two guards at the gate.

"We have something very important to discuss with the city lord!" Cui Yubao explained.

The guard said disdainfully: "What important things can you adventurers who haven't grown all hair have, don't make trouble, let's go!" ”

Cui Yubao hurriedly said: "This is a matter related to the cultists, and it is related to the safety of the entire city, and we must see the city lord immediately." ”

The guard said impatiently: "The most annoying thing for you foolish adventurers is also related to the safety of the entire city, who do you think you are, and besides, do you think the city lord is what you want to see?" ”

Looking at the two guards with a bad attitude, Cui Yubao already distrusted the people here, and now he was even more annoyed, drew his sword and said, "If you don't let me again, I'm going to break in." ”

Looking at Cui Yubao who drew his sword, the two guards also became nervous, and looked at everyone vigilantly and said sharply, "What do you want to do?" Don't you know this is the City Lord's Mansion? Do you want to rebel!! ”

Just when the two sides were tense and the battle was about to break out, a smiling man ran from the city lord's mansion and said, "Hey, what are you doing, put down your weapons quickly." ”

Looking at the man who came running, Cui Yubao put down his sword, but he was still on guard. The man smiled as if he hadn't seen it, and said, "I don't know what happened to the city lord's mansion, don't be so nervous, just tell me something." ”

Cui Yubao looked at the smiling man and said, "We have something very important to discuss with the city lord. ”

The man said, "Okay, let's go inside and talk about something, it's inconvenient for so many people to talk here." ”

Looking at the people who came over because of the conflict just now, considering that the matter of the cultists was too important and could easily cause panic, Cui Yubao nodded and walked towards the city lord's mansion with the man.

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, the man asked as he walked, "I don't know what makes you so anxious to find the City Lord?" Can you tell me first. ”

Cui Yubao thought for a moment and said, "We found a large number of cultists in the sewers of the city, and they may have a big conspiracy. ”

The man was shocked and said: "This is really bad news, but unfortunately the city lord is resting now, you wait in the living room first, and I will call the city lord." ”

"Gongqi, what are these people doing, and where are you taking them?" At this time, a burly man with a serious face came out of the lobby.

"City Lord, you are resting, these people say that there is news of cultists to report." Gonchi explained.

"Cultists? Come and tell me more about it. The city lord frowned, and was about to beckon Cui Yubao and the others to walk towards the lobby.

"City Lord, then I'll take care of other things first," Gonchi said goodbye, and the City Lord waved his hand and let him go.

When everyone came to the hall and sat down, the city lord couldn't wait to ask, "You said there is news of cultists?" What is it? ”

Cui Yubao said: "Last night we found a cult stronghold in a nearby place called Yanan Village, where there is a cult altar underground. Then today we came to this city, and found a large number of cultists in the sewers, and finally escaped death, but listening to their words, it seems that they want to sacrifice this city. ”

The city lord's brows furrowed even more and asked, "Do you have any evidence?" You know, this kind of thing is not a joke. ”

Cui Yubao glanced at Bai Ze, Bai Ze nodded slightly, Cui Yubao took out the things that fell from the cult leader and handed them to the city lord, the city lord looked at these things and his face changed greatly, and then asked sharply: "How is that Yanan Village?!" ”

Cui Yubao said: "All the original villagers were killed, replaced by their people, and by the way, they robbed houses there. ”

The city lord's face instantly turned pale, and then he hurriedly stood up, walked to the outside of the hall and shouted loudly: "Everyone assemble!" All assembled! ”

With the order of the city lord, soon the open space in front of the hall was full of neat people, and the city lord did not explain much: "Immediately bring the city guards, according to the area you are responsible for, evacuate all the people in the city, and go to the nearest urn city for refuge, only allow you to bring valuable and light property and weapons." ”

Without any hesitation, no one asked why, the gathering dispersed as quickly as possible, and in a moment all the people ran out to evacuate the residents.

"Oh my God, this city lord's prestige and execution are too strong!" Looking at the efficiency of the actions of the people in the City Lord's Mansion, Cui Yubao said in surprise, he didn't say the reason, these subordinates went to execute it so quickly, but this should be able to avoid a disaster.

Just when everyone was feeling the power of the city lord, the person who had just run out ran back with a frightened face and shouted, "Lord the city lord! Oh no, I don't know when someone carved a refining array on the city wall, and now the entire city is surrounded by an unknown enchantment, no one can get out, and all the communication stones can only work in the city. ”

"Order everyone to take all the residents to the city lord's mansion to gather, enforce the highest level of military control, and directly take down rumors, robberies, and thefts, and those suspected of cultists can be killed on the spot! Execute it now. The city lord reacted instantly, gave the order loudly, and then said to Cui Yubao and the others: "It seems that those cultists have jumped over the wall in a hurry, what should you do now, is there any way?" ”

Cui Yubao shook his head and glanced at Bai Ze, Bai Ze stepped forward and said, "Let's go and help bring people here first." ”

"Okay, thank you, if I can get through this crisis, I'll take credit for you, I'll go prepare a defense now." After the city lord finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the back hall, while Cui Yubao and the others also walked out.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Cui Yubao asked Bai Ze, "How likely is it that the City Lord is a cultist?" ”

Bai Ze replied without thinking: "It's less than thirty percent, but it's certain that there are cultists in the City Lord's Mansion, and it is very likely that their status is not low." ”

"Why?" Cui Yubao asked strangely.

Bai Ze said: "The time is too coincidental, just told the city lord about this, just about to evacuate the residents, they used the enchantment to seal the entire city, although it is not ruled out that on the way we just came over, the cultists lurking in the city found that we were not wiped out below, but to be able to carve and refine the formation on the wall of such a big city without being discovered, it must be possible to control the city guards." ”

Cui Yubao thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that Gongqi?" ”

Bai Ze thought for a moment and said: "I can't rule out this possibility, but I can't be sure, for the time being, let's help gather everyone here, can your badge still be used, captain?" ”

Cui Yubao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I tried it just now, but it didn't respond at all, this can be regarded as information control in the game!" ”

"Then we can use the forum to notify the other people in the meeting, and let them tell Zhao Ke about it?" Zilong asked.

Bai Ze shook his head and said: "You can try, but it is unlikely to succeed, and Zhao Ke actually doesn't trust us very much, if the badge is not activated, the chance of him coming is not great, and even if he comes, I don't know how long it will take." ”

Although Bai Ze said that the probability was not very high, everyone still had the intention of trying it in case it succeeded, and used the game forum to send the matter out, and then divided into several teams and began to help the city guards guide the residents to the city lord's mansion to gather.
