Ufric was the most powerful monarch among the northern princes, and he was also the main force against the Southern Empire, so Bai Yan was no stranger to this name.

Marcas's current environment is very similar to that of the United States during the Civil War, with the oathbreakers being Native Americans, and the North and the South being the two major powers that fought against each other at that time.

"Why did you intervene if you didn't even care about the guards?" Bai Yan asked.

"More than ten years ago, my father was originally a small mine owner, and suddenly one day he was killed in the city, everyone said that it was done by the oathbreaker, but the guards said that it was not, it was just an ordinary murder case for money, but the murderer has not been caught." ”

"So you want to investigate why the Oathbreaker killed your father?"

"Not only do I want to find out the truth about my father's murder, but I also want to find out the truth about the people who have been killed in the city for more than a decade, and although I have been trying to investigate, I have no clue." Edith stared at Bai Yan with a very earnest expression: "So I ask you to help me." ”

Bai Yan thought for a while and said tentatively, "Why don't you investigate it yourself?" I'm not a resident of Marcas, I don't want to ask about this place, you and I don't know each other, why are you looking for me? ”

Atrith smiled bitterly: "Because this thing is very dangerous, in a few months, I will be a father, I can't let the child be born without a father." ”

"Hahaha......" Bai Yan laughed loudly, although Atrith was excusable, but this was clearly cowardice.

Atrith looked embarrassed and hurriedly said, "You're new here, and the guards may not keep a close eye on you, so it's more convenient for you to act; And I saw the scene when you killed Wein, you are first-class in terms of reaction, judgment and swordsmanship, and you can handle dangerous situations better than me. ”

"Okay, I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you Nine Holy Spirits, you are such a good person, I know that I am not wrong about you." Edrice said excitedly.

"No, I'm just just just curious about the truth, not for you to investigate." The stalls in Makas City sell human flesh, and the oathbreakers kill people without guards to investigate, and the undercurrent in the city is even bigger than expected.

"I know, I know, still appreciate your help."

"In return, do you know who in the city has studied the most dwarven ruins?" Bai Yan has basically equated dwarf technology with alien technology, so it is better to consult experts in this area.

Edith was worshipping Bai Yan at the moment, knowing everything and saying everything, and said without thinking: "Then you can go to the lord's palace to find the court mage Kasaimer, he is a master in this area, a well-known dwarf investigation expert, but we usually don't care about these things, it is already very difficult to survive, how can we bother to care about the dwarf investigation?" ”

"Oh, thanks for informing me." After Bai Yan finished speaking, he left, secretly complaining that these people are really ignorant, dwarf technology is a good thing, if you can dig out alien weapons, just like Shihua, you are basically invincible in TEK armor, and you will soar into the sky, which is much better than living in a muddy nightmare.

Lord Marcus's palace is at the highest point, Bai Yan stepped on the winding stairs upward, and after a while, he came to a place dozens of meters high, there were no protective facilities such as guardrails, as long as he took a wrong step, he would fall to pieces, if he didn't fly, he might be frightened by this height.

Just as Bai Yan was about to enter the palace located at the top of the mountain, he was stopped by the guards at the door.

"Stop! Hold it! You are not allowed to go any further. ”

"Unless you have something important to report, idlers are not allowed to enter."

Bai Yan explained, "I'm here to find the court mage Kasaimer. ”

"Hmph, I want to go in this way, what if you're a spy? Without a handwritten order, passage is prohibited. ”

The guards spoke categorically and had a bad attitude, if Bai Yan hadn't wanted to keep a low profile, he would have wanted to give these two guys a dragon roar now, knock them down the mountain, and smash them into meat sauce.

Bai Yan endured it and pretended to leave, thinking that if he stopped him, he would have no way to get in? It's really a pattern.

Bai Yan took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, cast a smoke magic, turned into a wisp of smoke and floated in, and it is estimated that no one will suspect it when he enters the palace, it is best not to let him find the lord's treasury, otherwise it will all be emptied to vent the rude anger of the guards.

The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, what he saw and heard after entering the city, Bai Yan could be sure that the lord of this city was not a good bird.

Walking around the palace, Bai Yan was surprised to find that a large-scale excavation was going on here, with stones and dirt everywhere, and mechanical guards made of dwarven metal in the corners, these things were so exquisitely crafted that Bai Yan almost suspected that they could move.

Following the excavated passage, Bai Yan came to an empty hall, where a small river flowed, a bridge crossed the river, connecting another area, where many guards patrolled, and a middle-aged man in a mage's robe reading a book, Bai Yan walked towards him and asked, "I'm sorry, I want to know ......"

The man raised his head, revealing a thin face and a mustache on his chin, and he said impatiently: "Judging by your dress, you don't look like a mage, you won't be looking for me to buy a spell book, right?" Or do you want to ask about the Mo people or the snow elves? If it is the former, I can sell you three books that I have written, and all that I know is written in them; If it's the latter, you don't have to ask, that's my research secret. ”

Bai Yan asked in surprise, "The book you wrote?" Who are you? ”

The man almost turned his back on his breath: "You are talking to Cassamer, the highest authority who studies the Moren and the Snow Elves, but you don't know who I am!" He covered his face with his hands in despair: "I can't imagine that in the realm of Makas, there are people who don't know me......"

"You're Kasaimer? Coincidentally, I'm looking for you. Bai Yan hurriedly comforted: "Master Casemir, don't be surprised, I only came to Marcas City today...... How many coins do you have for a book? I'm a history buff and I'm eager to read your magnum opus. ”

One sentence turned to joy at one sentence, and he said cheerfully: "It is rare that there are young people who love learning as much as you, and I thought that no one would want to read my books." Let me tell you, I am the court mage of Marcus, and I am presiding over the excavation of this place, and I have also established a museum to display the excavated artifacts of the Forging Mo, and the Forging Mo people have founded a very great civilization, but we know too little about it...... Would you like to read my book, and I'll give you a 50% discount for the sake of your liking of history, and sell it to you for 50 gold coins. ”

The forging Mo people are dwarves, but the names are different.

Bai Yan's original intention was to appease Kasaimer's injured self-esteem, and he didn't want him to offer a jumping price, so he couldn't say that he couldn't buy it, so he had to take out gold coins to buy Kasaimer's book.

Holding three thick books, Bai Yan sighed, found a place to sit down and read slowly, and then he suddenly remembered that he couldn't read the words of this planet, and he bought it for nothing, so he asked Kasaimer to help him explain, this scientific researcher seemed to be happy to teach Bai Yan a lesson, because he felt that he was needed, so he had a great impression of Bai Yan.

"Oh! You are really a smart person, many people are not interested in dwarven ruins, you are very far-sighted, technology is the first productive force! ”

Bai Yan was almost choked, this person is awesome, spanning time and space, and his thoughts are the same as Deng Gong, the great leader of the earth.
