Chapter 101: Undercurrent

Sitting at the dining table, Yu Yi looked at the uninvited guests opposite from time to time, but he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoThis guy with a kind smile on his face is really hard to dislike.

"Centurion Cruise, now go back to the barracks, aren't you afraid of being disposed of by military regulations?" Crewe asked with a smile.

"It's okay, just have Hilon go." Indeed, after becoming the captain, most of the things are handled by Xi'ang, and Yu Yi can be lazy occasionally. "Crewe... Captain, do you have anything to do with me today? He still remembers the scene when the man sitting across from him led reinforcements to the rescue that day, and the aura of not being angry and arrogant was unforgettable.

At this moment, Mi Wei interrupted the conversation and brought the breakfast she had prepared to the table. "Little junior brother, let's talk while eating."

"Did Debbie get breakfast ready so quickly?" Since last night, Yu Yi has been obsessed with the cooking skills of his senior sister's friend, who is indeed a good chef.

"He? This is what I prepared, you can taste it. The girl shook her little braids and urged excitedly.

Although he sensed something, Yu Yi slowly opened the lid of the delicate utensils on the table, and the smoke that came out was still white smoke. "Hey...... Thank you for your hard work, senior sister. He looked at the small bowl of sticky porridge as he glanced up at the expression on Mi Wei's face and smiled wryly.

"Don't be wordy, don't talk while eating!" The other sat on the sidelines holding his face, his eyes wide open.

Yu Yi had no choice but to pick up a spoon and scoop up a spoonful of "porridge" and put it in his mouth.

"How? What do you think? Mivi asked, leaning forward.

"Hmm...... The taste is very special. After swallowing the porridge mixed with various strange flavors, Yu Yi gave a more pertinent answer.

His senior sister directly took it as a positive statement, and was so happy that even the braids on her head jumped with joy: "I knew that things made according to Deby's exclusive formula would not be bad." ”

"That kid studied alchemy before?" The muttering voice was very small, and only Yu Yi could hear what he said.

After cheering, the little senior sister turned her head to look at the guests on the side: "Mr. Kru, you can eat too." ”

"I appreciate Miss Mi Wei's kindness. But before I came, I had breakfast. The smile on his delicate face made people feel like a spring breeze, and they did not suspect the lie told by this guest.

"Okay then," the girl nodded, pushing the utensils in front of the guest in front of her brother as well, "it's not much anyway, I'll give you both copies." ”

With the idea that long pain is better than short pain, Yu Yi took two or three minutes to swallow two bowls of hot porridge, and then sent Mi Wei away. After a hiccup, he asked, "Captain Crewe, can you tell me now about the purpose of looking for me today?" ”

"Naturally, it's here to deliver on my promise." Crewe smiled and said, "Also, please don't call me Captain in the future, I've already left Flame Fang." ”

"Leave Flame Fang?!" Compared with the first half of the sentence, Yu Yi cared more about what the other party said later, "Why did you leave Flame Fang?" You obviously ......" Yu Yi wanted to find a reason to refute this unreasonable phenomenon, but found that before that, he and the other party were only one-sided.

"Actually, there is nothing surprising that in this beast tide, after I led the cavalry team back to the city to support, there was a large-scale rout on the frontal battlefield. This is a gross dereliction of duty, and it is understandable that I should be punished like this. Crewe said as he stroked the back of his right hand with his left thumb.

"Dude... So I hurt you? Yu Yi didn't expect that the support he sent would have such a big impact on the other party, "Isn't that rune stone recognized by the military?" Will support be punished? ”

Crewe didn't seem to want to dwell on the topic anymore, and he clasped his palms together, "I'm not here to discuss these trivial matters with you today, Centurion Cruise. ”

"Oh, yes, yes. Delivering on promises...... What promises? ”

"I said I wouldn't let you be threatened by that mysterious organization." "After all," said the knight, "you blocked the imprint for me. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Yu Yi couldn't help laughing: "Are you going to conclude a contract with me?" "In a way, he hasn't been a hero yet.

"Protecting you is not the same as being willing to be a contractor for you. Cruise centurion, please clarify this. The delicate knight raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I think that brand on your hand will last for a few months at most." After that, we don't owe each other. ”

Sighing dejectedly, Yu Yi patted his stomach and stood up from his seat. "Well, there's nothing wrong with having multiple bodyguards anyway. Also, please remember that I am now the captain. ”

"Okay, Captain Cruise. You can rest assured that I will not interfere with your normal life. As he spoke, the smile on Crewe's face grew imperceptibly.

When I left Mivi's house with a few friends, it was already about nine o'clock in the morning. Everyone else has plans for a new day, but Yu Yi needs to go back to the barracks.

However, on the way to the barracks, he felt awkward. Crewe had been following him at a distance since he left the door, and the feeling of being followed was very uncomfortable.

After the beast tide passed, Wildfire City spent a lot of manpower to dispose of the corpses of those demonic beasts outside the city. Most of them are directly incinerated, and only a small part is recovered by the pharmacists to make potions.

After the outside of the city was cleared, the garrison of the army was also moved outside the city.

Yu Yi came all the way to the gate of the barracks, and the little tail finally stopped.

"Won't you go in with me?" He asked, looking back.

"I'm no longer a soldier of Flamefang, and I'm not eligible to enter the camp." Crewe replied earnestly, as if he had forgotten that he had been a chief knight there yesterday. "What's more, you are very safe in the barracks, and you don't need my protection for the time being."

Yu Yi nodded: "It's up to you." ”

"I'll wait here for you to come out."

"Whatever you want."

The captain replied, still nonchalantly, and swaggered into the camp. After becoming the captain and managing hundreds of people under his command, he can indeed walk in the barracks like this.

However, before he could enter his spacious tent, Heti came up with not very good news: "My lord, General Lamobis wants to see you." ”

"Is it because I didn't return all night and was absent from work?" Yu Yi said in a humble heart.

"I don't know, the herald didn't say anything else." The orc shook his head, and the general's herald naturally wouldn't take such a servant as him seriously.

In this way, with apprehension, Yu Yi walked to the military tent of Lamobis. After all, now that he is a member of Flame Fang, he is naturally more or less afraid of his superiors, so he has already begun to fabricate reasons for absenteeism.

"Uncle Lamobis, I'm here."

"Come in."

Walking into the big tent, Yu Yi found that there was more than one veteran in the tent, and Kanter's old oilman was also there, but the faces of the two were not very good-looking. This made his heart chill, to be honest, he had rarely seen the old general's face so solemn for so long.

"Cruise, you come." Without even raising his head, Lamobis beckoned to the young man who had just entered the tent.

"General, I'm ......" Yu Yigang wanted to take the initiative to admit his mistake. But I heard the other party ask:

"Did you solve the corpse change in the city before?"

When he heard that it was this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's me." Any questions? Uncle. ”

"Tell me about that day." Kante said.

Yu Yi glanced at the square table in front of the two of them, and on it was a map of the interior of Wildfire City, although he didn't understand what an ordinary map was worthy of the two of them studying so seriously. But he didn't dare to ask, but simply recounted what happened in the hospital according to the request of the two.

In the end, he didn't forget to raise his hand as a little tendonous "bodyguard": "...... So, if it weren't for Captain Crewe's rescue, I'd just be going to die at the hands of that monster. General, I think Captain Crewe's support is timely and necessary...... You kicked him out of the Flame Fang, isn't that a punishment too severe? ”

"It's not up to you, Cruise, go back. Don't let me catch you all night! The general glared at him and said.

As soon as he heard the other party mention this matter, Yu Yi didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly withdrew from the big tent. Receiving only a verbal warning, not a punishment of dozens of whips, is already considered a noble hand.

However, the old general's mention of this matter again today made him feel a little unusual. It seems that Sylon has also emphasized this matter before. He suddenly remembered that the kid Aesop had said earlier that the necromancer involved a large hidden mission...... Is it because of this? He had previously believed that the so-called hidden mission was related to the destroyed codex. Now it seems that there may be another possibility......

When the young centurion walked out of the tent, Kante looked up at his old friend and said, "What do you think about this?" ”

"What do you think? What else can you see? The source of the corpse transformation in the five urban districts is all under the Canglong Holy Cross Hospital, what else do you say? Am I still reminded of the Canglong Empire, which funded the establishment of hospitals? "Don't forget, in the first place, we were banished!" What an expeditionary force, the reality is not as decent as it sounds! Now that we have the ability to be independent, isn't it natural that those guys who don't believe in anyone want to eradicate us? ”

"Don't you realize that you don't trust the Empire either?" The old fox smiled and said. "Okay, no more guessing. Think about it, even if the Empire really wanted to take advantage of the most dangerous moment of the wildfire and secretly push it to hell, would those slippery heads be stupid enough to place all the undead wizards sent out in the Canglong Holy Cross Hospital? Then even you can see the real murderer behind the scenes, so what is the 'secret'? ”

As if to allow some time for the other party to think, Kanter paused, took a sip of water before continuing: "You haven't thought about it, could this situation be an illusion that some people deliberately let us see?" While it's time to resolve our conflicts with the Empire, don't you want to see who is sowing discord? ”

"So what do you say?" At such a moment, Lamobis will consciously hand over the problem to his old friend.

"This corpse mutiny, Edmund has studied. Those necromancers weren't much of a master, but they played a little trick that almost caused me a lot of trouble. Kantor said as he pulled out a glass vial containing a slowly dark purple powder, "However, this kind of necromancy that causes corpses is really not very good, and it needs to be combined with a specific powder." ”

"It's ......"

"This is an indispensable ingredient for corpse transformation, and only when the corpse is contaminated with it can it be summoned by the necromancer and turned into a walking corpse." Speaking of this, the old fox couldn't help but smile: "The corpse transformation at that time was city-wide!" In other words, the corpses in the whole city were contaminated with such medicinal powder...... However, in that critical situation at the time...... Who has the power to spread this powder throughout the city? ”

The answer was about to come out, and Lamobis opened his lips to say it, only to see his old friend make a silent gesture.

Kante smiled like a fox seeing chicken: "This kind of thing, until the last minute, it's hard to make up your mind." Besides, you old fellow, don't you keep telling me something: don't talk about the rare loyalty in Wildfire City behind your back. Whether it is loyal or not, we will soon find out. ”

Although he also knew who was the most suspicious, perhaps for the sake of face, Lamobis still defended: "How do you know that this medicinal powder didn't come into contact with those civilians before the beast tide?" It cannot be ruled out that there is also such a possibility. ”

"Don't bother," Kanter said, pouring some purple powder onto the back of his hand, before his old friend exclaimed, "Don't make a fuss, watch well." ”

I saw that the powder turned colorless after touching his already wrinkled skin, and then blew off the dust on it and disappeared without a trace. "This kind of powder, that's it, although its effect can be maintained for a very long time, but it can do it without showing traces. But look at the gift she gave us. ”

As he spoke, the deputy head took out another bottle of potion and applied it to the same place on the back of his hand. Slowly, a layer of purple appeared on the skin. "How's that, got it? I don't think the group of loyalists you mentioned should be so careful when they spread these powders. So ......"

"We should still investigate this matter in secret." The veteran pondered for a moment, "I really have to think of the right person." ”

"What do you think? Wasn't that little guy just a good fit? "The old fox is naturally talking about the young captain.

Lamobis shook his head: "I don't want him to be involved in this, what do you say, this little guy...... I guess he's really not a good fit for ......."

"Like your precious student Crewe?"

The veteran sighed, then nodded at the end.
