Chapter 164: Outwitting the Talisman

From the mouth of a citizen who escaped from the city, Qing Chi learned that the Lord of Chenguang City was preparing to secretly hand over the talisman to a second lieutenant in the Northern Continent, if this brave army fell into the ambush circle of the Northern Continent, then the chances of victory in the Eastern Continent would be much less, so the importance of this talisman was self-evident.

However, it was difficult to infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion, especially when it was heavily guarded. However, there are always things that go unnoticed that can affect the overall progress. Qing Chi quietly turned into the end of the alley, where there was a special NPC called the Good Gambler Beggar, which was discovered by a certain player while hiding from assassination. Fortunately, Qingchi in the previous life soaked in the forum all day long, and the experience in the memory of this life finally came in handy. The gambling beggar has no other skills, only a map of the sewers of the whole city, probably because of gambling debts. The beggar's favorite thing to do is to play dice with people, and if you win by points, you can get a detailed map of the city's sewers. Fortunately, Qingchi's luck this time was very good. After getting the map of the sewers, Qing Chi also brought some antidote to Skuma, studied it carefully, and determined the route to the City Lord's Mansion, Qing Chi lifted the lid of the sewer and jumped down. The city's sewers are intricately curved, with sewage ditches crisscrossing and a few fat rats burrowing through from time to time. Qing Chi covered his nose, ran quickly in the sewer, threw out the satin and wrapped it around the iron ladder, grabbed it violently, jumped lightly, climbed on the drain pipe steadily, and then kicked on it and moved quickly. Soon, Qing Chi arrived directly below the kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion. After pricking up his ears and listening for a while, after making sure that the footsteps of the people in the kitchen were leaving, Qing Chi quietly lifted the drain cover, carefully poked his head out, and then supported his hands and jumped up, rolled over and hid behind the door.

At this moment, the footsteps of several servants were heard. "Oh, dear Sema, I really don't want to pour wine for that lord. It was a terrible guest, and Lado, who had just entered, was already covered in blood and had been carried out. A maid covered her face tremblingly. The other maid whispered a few words of comfort to her, a look of embarrassment on her face. At this time, Qing Chi suddenly burst out from behind the door and asked with concern, "Which adult are you talking about?" Maybe I can help you. Sema's eyes showed anticipation: "Is it true?" Thank you so much, my friend. Qing Chi nodded, "Tell me what's going on here." Sema lowered her voice, "Recently, the lord of the castle has brought in a batch of wine with a strange taste from outside, and he has become oblivious to political affairs and alcoholic. Just yesterday, a distinguished guest suddenly came to the city lord's mansion, and held a banquet all day long, everyone was forbidden to leave the mansion, and those who wanted to escape were killed. I heard that there seems to be a war outside. We trembled with fear, and we did not dare to go out of the city. ”

I see. Presumably, that city lord is already addicted to Skuma, and that distinguished guest should be the second lieutenant of the Northern Continent, but he hasn't gotten the military talisman yet, so it's a good opportunity. After asking the direction of the banquet hall, Qing Chi changed into a maid's clothes, and walked out of the kitchen with his head bowed with his wine in his hand, and at the same time mixed the Scuma antidote in the wine bottle. In the banquet hall, sitting at the end of the long table was the drunken city lord of Morning Glow, and sitting next to him was the annoying city lord Miss Clara. After experiencing that bloody escape mission, Qing Chi really didn't have a good impression of Clara, who was yelling. The other side...... It's a spy on the northern continent. Qing Chi glanced at the person with his spare eyes, only to see this bearded man with a pair of shrewd eyes glancing around, and raising his glass towards the Morning Light City Lord with a smile, but Qing Chi still saw the impatience in his expression, obviously, the spy who had not yet asked about the whereabouts of the military talisman began to be anxious. When Qing Chi came over with the wine, the bearded man named Bob had a murderous look in his eyes and quickly threw a black thing into the wine glass. Qing Chi's eyes sharpened as he saw a tiny frost spider jump into the wine glass and spit out frost venom.

"Oh, thank you for the hospitality of the lord of the city. Come, let this servant pour a glass of wine for the noble lord of the city. Bob laughed twice, waved his hand and stood up to raise his glass to the city lord. Qing Chi silently lowered his head and brought the bottle of poisoned wine over. At the moment when the Morning Light City Lord was about to drink the poisoned wine, Qing Chi quickly threw an anger spell at the City Lord's body. That's right, it's a support skill that only works against NPCs, the Wrath Technique. The wine of the Morning Light City Lord suddenly woke up, and the angry expression made the muscles of his face writhe violently, and Qing Chi quickly rolled backwards a few times, and the NPC after being hit by the anger will automatically attack the nearest person. At this time, Bob, who was approaching the city lord, happened to be within twenty yards. The Lord of Morning Light drew the sword at his waist and slashed at Bob, and then the guards around him and his daughter Clara joined in the battle to slash Bob. Qing Chi dodged from a distance, smiled slightly, and quickly set up an arrow, and fired a salvo of arrows and arrows. Although the Lord of Morning Light City is already old, after all, he was once a knight who fought in all directions, and he still has two hits. Soon, Bob was lying on the ground dying.

The Morning Light City Lord, who had killed a person, was in a much better mood, his anger calmed down, and he drank a glass of wine, and the gloomy look on his face gradually dissipated. Only then did Qing Chi step forward and tell him what had happened. The city lord held his head in disbelief, "Oh my God, what have I done!" I personally ordered the killing of my own citizens! Qing Chi looked at him with a sad expression on his face, not like pretending. It seems that he lost his mind due to Scruma's addiction.

"It's great news that the Lions are still alive. Please help me bring the military talisman to the general, and take the most brave army with me! I am no longer worthy to rule over them. I'm here to protect my citizens. The Morning Light City Lord sadly took out a bronze military talisman from his body and handed it to Qing Chi.

After getting the military talisman, Qing Chi opened the door of the City Lord's Mansion. At the request of the Castle Lord, he reopened the magic shield of Morning Light City and joined up with Andrew. Andrew had rescued the citizens from hiding in the cellar and savagely poured the antidote on the heavily addicted soldiers of Skuma. It all started when an ordinary brewer in the city picked up a strange statue and brought it home. The Bloodthirsty Demon God took control of the man and instructed him to create the forbidden drug Scuma and mix it in the drink. Thinking of this, Qing Chi already understood, I am afraid that the treacherous Tazad and the attacking army of the northern continent have made a contract with the demon god.

The demons are already ready to start a war, and it seems that their true resurrection is not far away.
