Chapter 80: Solving the Puzzle (I)
A semicircular moon rises in the sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is an air of instability wafting through the city.
Xia Di left the rebel territory safe and sound with Kayilu on his back and returned to the city of Yeovil.
At this time, it was just night, and the knights guarding the gate were about to close the gate, when Xia Di ran in with Kayilu on his back, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
"You are...... The gang from yesterday morning? A young knight said in surprise when he saw them.
Xia Di looked back at the knight and felt a little familiar.
He remembered for a moment, and then remembered that the knight in front of him was one of the knights who guarded the gates when they entered the city of Yeovil yesterday.
The knight was now dressed in full armor and a steel helmet, more fully equipped than the one he had met. If you look closely, the streets and alleys are also crowded with other knights, also fully armed.
"What are you?" Xia Di looked at them suspiciously.
"We're going to play tomorrow." The young knight had a lonely smile on his face, "We are in the final stages of preparation, if you plan to leave the city, it is best to leave now, tomorrow morning at six o'clock the city gates will be opened for the last time, after that, Yeovil will be under wartime martial law, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave unless approved by the upper echelons." ”
"So fast?" Xia Di couldn't help but wonder, "I remember hearing your deputy head in the tavern yesterday say that it will be a few more days?" ”
“…… There is no time left. ”
The young knight shrugged.
What does that mean?
Xia Di just wanted to continue asking, but his sleeve was pulled.
Xia Di looked back, only to see the green-haired girl pointing to several semi-open-top carriages not far away, which were used to transport goods. The carriages were badly damaged, either with holes in the bottom of the carriages or some cracks in the wheels, and only the cargo plates were intact. The knights took bags of dry food from their carts, poured them into small cloth bags the size of fists, and distributed them to each of them, so that they hung them on their waists.
"Originally, I wanted to distribute it to the evacuated people, but it was obviously not enough, and I was afraid of causing disputes, so the regiment commander said that we would simply let us bring it ourselves, and we might be able to fight better after we were full." The knight explained.
Xia Di was still a little puzzled at first, but after listening to him, he instantly understood that this time the grain delivery commission had failed, because the grain truck in front of him was much less than that of the soldiers.
Maybe it's the fault that the Warcraft investigation mission and the food transportation mission have failed, and they plan to fight against the water......
Xia Di looked at the knights not far away, with resolute faces, and couldn't help but think.
"Let me go." Kayilu patted Xia Di on the shoulder.
"Oh. Are you okay already? ”
Xia Di was surprised.
"Nonsense, the wound is almost better." Kayilu jumped off Xia Di.
She glanced around with a blank face, turned around and said, "Let's go." ”
"Oh." Xia Di nodded.
……
Through the password that Saliya had told them earlier, Xia Di and Kailu opened the barrier and entered the Mentor's house.
The room was filled with the smell of ink from all kinds of books, and dust wafted through the air.
They walked to the mentor's room, and as they were about to push the door in, a low voice came through the door into the ears of the two of them.
"Mentor, it's not good for me to ignore the agreement. But we can't afford to wait any longer. ”
If you listen closely, it's a man's voice.
"Are you looking for cooperation?" The teacher's cold voice came.
'It's time to wait, no matter what, we have to play tomorrow morning.'
The attitude of the owner of the voice is resolute.
Although Xia Di didn't know who the owner of the voice was, he knew everything about listening to the conversation.
Xia Di and Kayilu glanced at each other and pushed open the door to the room.
"We're back."
The two said in unison.
She was greeted by the Mentor sitting in a chair, and the young daughter Erin and the young girl Sariya standing beside her, in front of them was a man in the armor of a cyan knight.
Xia Di noticed that the man's equipment was the same as the knight of the King's Army that he had just seen at the city gate, and he immediately guessed the identity of the other party in his heart.
He should be, the general of the King's army.
Jester half-knelt on the ground and looked back at the two young men in surprise.
He had come to the great magician's residence again with great realization, asking for his help, but before he could finish his business, a stranger broke in, leaving him confused and annoyed.
As far as he knew, the guru had set up an enchantment to disperse idlers in his residence, and the door was also blocked, so how could these people enter casually except for her disciples?
"You are ......"
"They are the ones who could save the city."
Seeing that the two people who thought they were lucky and had come back alive, the mentor breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly.
On the side, Saizeriya also had a smile on her face, but Erin's reaction was much weaker, and she only nodded slightly, as if she had expected them to return.
"Save the city?" Not only the man in front of him, but Kayilu and Xia Di were also confused.
However, the tutor didn't explain much, but said to Xia Di.
"Young man, please show me the instrument that you got from the rebels to control the monsters."
As soon as he entered the door, he was asked to do so, which made Xia Di a little confused, but he knew that the current occasion was a little special, so he nodded, reached behind him, took out the soul organ from the [package] and handed it over.
If he guessed correctly, now is the time to reveal the truth.
"Control the Beast?" Jester frowned suspiciously, and then said to the mentor, "Mentor, the topic just now ......"
"You go quiet."
The tutor said in an undeniable tone, her fingers emitting a slight glow, as if she was using magic to parse the item. Jester moved his mouth, as if giving up, and turned his head to look at Xia Di and them.
"I'm Jester, the leader of the Lower Knights, who are you?"
"Oh, you're the Knight Leader." Kayilu crossed her waist and looked at her with interest, "We're here to help you." ”
"We're just passing adventurers."
Xia Di subconsciously felt that he would get involved in something troublesome, and hurriedly added.
After all, this is a time of war, and since you have done something, you should immediately hand over the task and leave.
Tomorrow, when they leave the city, it will probably be their last chance.
“…… Adventurer? What is your relationship with your mentor? Jester asked.
In his opinion, it was rare for an adventurer to come to the Mentor.
"It doesn't matter, it's just that I was called to investigate the Warcraft ......"
Kayilu was about to continue, when she was interrupted by a voice.
"I told them to investigate the reason for the Monster siege." The instructor put down the instrument, and with a stroke of the index finger of his right hand, the instrument suddenly floated and flew back to Xia Di's hand.
It seems that the parsing is complete.
Xia Di noticed the residual magic on the instrument, and the breath of thorough analysis.
"Warcraft Siege? Are you also investigating this, Tutor? Let these two go? Jester looked incredulous.
"Jester, do you know why I told you to come back tomorrow?" The mentor asked softly, "If these two don't complete this investigation, I'm afraid the city will ...... No, the whole county is going to be devastating. ”
