"It's a bit complicated...... I think we'd better find a place to sit down and talk! ”

The tall Ted smiled helplessly, and then, pointing to the central castle in the distance.

"I think it's a great idea!"

The branch president of Xialin District on the side also proposed.

"Of course!"

Ye Qi nodded—obviously, such repeated proposals were all telling Ye Qi that there were some hidden secrets; It is not appropriate to say it here.

Ye Qi jumped back on the horse, waved at Little Doug and Xsol in the distance, and then, looking at the tower guard, said with a smile: "Keep your vigilance, that's a very good quality!" ”

Ted the Tower Protector nodded stunned - he had thought that he would be reprimanded, which was one of the lightest punishments, and Ted did not think that he was wronged, after all, his rudeness had already explained everything before; However, in the end, it is not a reprimand, but an appreciation.

This made Ted a little unable to react, and it was not until Ye Qi had already walked away that the tower protector came back to his senses and shouted, "Thank you, thank you!" ”

The voice came clearly to Ye Qi's ears, Ye Qi didn't look back, just smiled and said, "This is a very good tower protector - cautious, careful, and vigilant enough!" ”

"Ted is a very good person!"

Ted nodded in agreement.

The tower protector didn't hear such an evaluation, he just silently watched Ye Qi's back finally disappear, and then secretly thought, "This is the ...... Is it really Shak's Dragon? ”

The silent guardian of the tower. Awakened by a burst of chuckles. When he saw the slightly loose smiles of those young people. couldn't help but restrain his thoughts, and said loudly: "Boys, I think we need to practice today!" ”

Immediately, a wail rang out.

"Instructor, you can't do that!"

"You're distracted, too!"

"That's right, instructor, you're distracted too!"

……

"I'm distracted too?" The tower protector asked, and the young men in front of him nodded together. He glanced around before saying, "Then I'll punish myself - use you as a sparring partner!" ”

"W-How can this be?"

"Instructor, you should supervise us!"

"This is bullying the small!"

……

The young people reacted differently, but the meaning was quite clear - although these young people were competitive, they were quite smart when faced with opponents who were impossible to defeat; No one wants to be beaten, does they? Unless he has a special hobby!

"Do you want to be Lord Shak's Dragon, such a powerhouse?"

The tower protector waited until the young man's shout paused, and then asked.

"Yes!"

The young people shouted together.

"So...... I'm going to teach you the first lesson - the heart of the strong! ”

The tower protector said as he had planned—compared to the example he had set, of course. At this point, there are more practical examples.

"Of course, if you admit that you are a bastard. It's still too late for me to say that once I start speaking, I won't accept to quit! ”

The tower guard's voice grew snarr.

"Did anyone quit?"

Silence and tenacity appear on the faces of young people - competitiveness does not have to be negative, at least, it can have a positive effect at this time.

The corners of the tower guard's mouth turned up slightly, and he returned to normal in an instant, so that every young man present did not see it, and he immediately shouted, "So...... Begin! ”

After that, from the morning sunrise, to the evening sunset, until the moon appeared, all that remained in these mud puddles was the sound of beating and moaning—of course, Ye Qi did not know what to do, and when he entered the parlor of the Central Castle, he began to frown; Because, those imposters are much more serious than he imagined.

That's right, it's those — not one.

"The first time it appeared, was it in Dude?"

Ye Qi looked at Speido, the lazy president of the Xia Lin District, who looked extremely serious at this time, threw the wine jug aside, and said in an orderly manner: "About a day after the Moon Celebration - when you, the new name of the strongest seven in the world, began to circulate on the mysterious side, a ...... Well, the guy who was dressed like you, and who looked like him, went to the Supreme Government to meet with the secret art of the Desa Councillor, and then took two million Kimptons with him; Later, when Councillor de Sar returned, he realized that something was wrong and contacted me! ”

Speaking of this, the branch president of Xialin District couldn't help but smile bitterly: "In the face of the huge amount of two million Kimpton, I can only escape back to Dude to take refuge!" ”

"Heh, I really want to know the employment experience of that secretary of Lu Dao!"

Ye Qi chuckled, but there was more disdain in his smile - he could even imagine what it was like now; One side is pretentious, the other side is deliberately currying favor, this kind of street deception trick can fool the top of the highest government, and Ye Qi is only left with a trace of disdain that cannot be hidden.

According to the system of the highest government, such a thing could not have happened as long as the normal procedures were followed - and the reason why the normal procedures were not followed was simply that the secretary had 'omitted' such a link.

"He should be interrogated by now - a bunch of brain-sick guys!"

Spedo said, and then, gave an evaluation—the evaluation of the president of the Charin district, of course, was to talk about those who interrogated, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the secretary was also one of the victims, but they clung to each other; And, of course, he, the more innocent victim.

Thinking of his leisurely life, which ended in an instant, the depression in the heart of the branch leader of Xialin District swept through his whole body like a thousand-year-old cold wave, causing him to collapse straight into the sofa, subconsciously twisted the wine jug, and poured a few sips.

However, Ye Qi can smell it keenly. in that flask. It seems to be pretending to be ...... Water.

"My property. Including the bar, it was temporarily seized by the supreme government - the passage fee was paid by Speaker de Sa with the help of Dessa! ”

The branch leader of the Xia Lin District shook his head with a wry smile.

"What role did you play in this?"

Ye Qi asked—as far as Ye Qi knew, if there was no definitive evidence, Speido was really involved, and the Supreme Government would not have done it at all.

"That guy's assistant is 'me' - I've seen the pictures, if I hadn't confirmed that I was drunk and asleep. Then it's really me! The branch president of Xialin touched his slightly rough face and said with a wry smile: "I don't remember my mother telling me that I also have a twin brother - Stofe is just a cousin!" ”

"One me, plus one you—it seems like the evidence is conclusive!" Ye Qi laughed playfully, "It seems that this Mr. Imposter knows a lot about the mysterious side, at least, he knows the witcher very well - and being able to get the news so quickly can be called well-informed!" ”

"This is one, what about the rest?"

Ye Qi nodded and continued to ask.

"The rest appeared in the Tallinn District, the Autumn Forest District, and the Spring Forest District...... Basically, except for the Bay Area, where you're now home and those in crisis. Everywhere they were—and it was as if they had been agreed. Almost immediately after you defeated the Howling Moon Wolf King, these guys appeared together! ”

Ted took the words, slightly recounting everything he knew, and the wry smile on his face was helpless.

"Well, can you tell me, how much is lost?"

Ye Qi rubbed his temples slightly—he found that things had gone far beyond his expectations, and judging by Ted and Specdo's accounts, it was definitely not an individual act, but a premeditated plan of a group nature; Moreover, this group should not only be well-informed, but also have one or two guys who are good at disguise, or give disguise to others.

It could be a chameleon-like ability, or it could be a doctor - since Nine Nights Nightmare can change the appearance of others through surgery at will, Ye Qi believes that others can too.

"More than five million Kimpton, and many more antiques and magical materials are uncountable for the time being - they are all aimed at people who know about the mystery, but not about you, so they have gained a lot!"

Ted gave a slightly vague number.

"Didn't catch any of them?"

Ye Qi was silent for a moment, and then continued to ask--I have gained so much, the most likely thing is to stop doing it, that kind of wealth is enough for a chic life even for a group of fifty people; Moreover, with similar abilities or the skills of a doctor, they can completely change their appearance.

To put it simply, if you don't catch a person of value, these people may disappear in an instant.

And in the face of the vast Lorante, it is basically impossible to find these people who have the ability to disguise and change their glory.

"Caught some, but ......"

Ted smiled bitterly again, even a little unsure of what to do, and finally he stood up and said, "I think you better follow me to see for yourself!" ”

……

The Central Castle, the Land of the Six Towers.

The only place where prisoners can be held is the Tower of Thorns, on the edge of the Land of the Six Towers, a place that almost no one wants to approach, even if there is no negative energy, but that cold feeling cannot be dispelled, even if the tower master has a sunny smile.

"Ye, come and see your imitator?"

Mordred, the unusually young-looking Lord of the Tower of Thorns, was standing in front of the gate of the Tower of Thorns at this time, smiling and greeting Ye Qi.

"Yes, Lord Mordred!"

Ye Qi greeted respectfully - Ye Qi understood everything that the female cavalry captain had changed and everything that the tower master with a sunny smile had done in front of him; And it is precisely because of this understanding that he respects each other; What's more, the age of the other party is enough to gain such respect.

"Penger will take you there—I need to go to a meeting!"

Mordred waved his hand, pointed to the Tower of Thorns behind him, and then, passing the group, Ted and Spedu bowed.

When the Lord of the Tower of Thorns left, the three of them continued to move forward, and. It was Ted who knocked on the door of the Tower of Thorns—a gate that wasn't too tall. Cast entirely of steel. Only one person can be allowed to pass; In fact, it was not the first time Ye Qi had seen it, and he had even traveled through the period as a 'prisoner'.

It's just that, compared to the last time, this door is getting more and more old, and the rust that appears on it is enough to say it all; Still, the 'bang, bang, bang' had the heavy, muffled sound of Ted's knock on the door. It means that it is much stronger than it seems.

Click!

On the upper side of the gate, a pair of eyes appeared in a gap that could only reach the width of a finger, and began to look at the three of Ye Qi.

"Peng, it's me!"

Ted said.

However, the owner of those eyes obviously didn't buy it too much, and was still patrolling, until he saw Ye Qi, and then stopped.

"Lord Shak's Dragon?"

It's as if you forgot to put on the oil, and the sound of rusty gears rubbing against each other.

"It's me!"

Ye Qi nodded.

Squeak......

After that slit window closes. The door opened slowly, and after a slight pause. In an even louder voice, the door, which was only allowed to pass through one person, was completely opened—Peng, the guardian of the Tower of Thorns, the man who served as a caretaker, had a gloomy face, a sturdy body, close to Ted's height, and made him reveal a special fierce aura from his whole body.

"Follow me!"

The guardian of the Tower of Thorns, after a deep word, turned and walked inward; And when Ye Qi and the three of them also entered, the door behind them slammed and closed several times faster than when it was opened.

"I've always disliked it here!"

Walking down the narrow corridor, even though there were some torches with light and heat stuck on it, the branch leader of the Xia Lin District still frowned and said - in fact, no witcher, or anyone who is against a witcher, will not like the Tower of Thorns, especially when it starts to descend.

The Tower of Thorns is the only special building among the six towers that has only one room on the top floor - its complex, which is only underground.

It was cold and damp, making Ye Qi feel as if he had entered the tomb again.

And the tyrannical, cruel, and resentful curses that sounded in his ears were like the most cruel curses in the world - in fact, Ye Qi had never entered here, and the last time he was 'confined', he only stopped on the upper floor, far from going deeper again.

Therefore, aside from the darkness, Ye Qi did not have any more impressions of the Tower of Thorns.

As for now?

This impression is undoubtedly impressive enough - the corridor is spacious, because you need to walk in the middle, or the palm of your hand will grab you from both sides.

The owners of these palms, without any mercy or begging for mercy, only want to scratch off a piece of flesh from you—or, hold you tightly, and then bite off a piece with their own mouth; In short, if you don't want to get hurt, just walk on the path left by the jailer in the middle.

"It's best to follow Penger!"

Ted reminded Yeki and Spedu, who had first descended beneath the Tower of Thorns.

"What a shame!"

Speedo shrugged his shoulders without any objections.

Ye Qi, on the other hand, nodded, and then watched as he walked - his curiosity about the Tower of Thorns and his confidence in his own strength gave Ye Qi the ability to satisfy his curiosity.

There was only one person in each cell, and the cells were not next to each other, but about five yards apart, and the distance was staggered - in short, not only were the cells adjacent, and the prisoners could not communicate, even if they were face to face, because in the cell, all you could see was the walls.

Is it better to prevent problems than to prevent them from happening?

Ye Qi thought to himself - as a prison-like building, the most important thing to worry about is naturally the riot and escape of prisoners, and this design obviously minimizes this possibility; If you can't know or communicate, you will naturally become alone, and everything will become simpler.

After all, whether it's easy to deal with one or a group is a very obvious multiple-choice question.

As for shouting?

Watching Peng mercilessly whip those outstretched arms with the leather whip in his hand, Ye Qi didn't think it was a simple matter.

As for other methods such as passing notes?

In the absence of wind, the only way to stay in a cell, and one meal a day, there was no such thing as paper.

"Here!"

Going down another floor, at the top of the stairs, Pengh said, and pushed open an iron door—every floor had such a flashing iron door, heavy and strong, and the key was only in Peng's hand or the master of the Tower of Thorns.

Compared to the two consecutive layers of cages, this place is undoubtedly much larger, with tables, chairs and benches, and the prison has become a traditional square cage welded by iron pillars, and in addition to the people in the cage, there are other tower guards of the Tower of Thorns - it is obvious that Penger alone cannot be completely busy.

But, again, of these people, Penger is the leader—

"Master Penger!"

Several tower guards shouted, all at the same time greeting Ted.

Obviously, Ted's popularity is quite good; However, when the eyes of these tower protectors looked at Ye Qi, they seemed less friendly.

Undoubtedly, these tower protectors have misunderstood again.

"This is Ye Qi, the real Dragon of Shak!"

Ted had to step forward and explain to the guardians of the Tower of Thorns.

Suddenly, the tower protectors of the Tower of Thorns withdrew their unfriendly gaze and said in an extremely respectful manner, "Lord Shak's Dragon! ”

However, the same sarcastic voice came from the cage on the side-

"A traitor!"
