Chapter 38: Waiting

After Yi Ming went back, he quickly wrote out the report and handed it to Lei Lao, who looked at it casually and didn't say anything, just asked him not to go out of the city in the past two days, and when Li Xun's interrogation results came out, he needed to go on a mission.

Of course, Yi Ming could only nod in agreement, and he also wanted to know what the follow-up task was.

Then Yi Ming told Li Jiaojiao about Lei Lao's refusal to let him go out of the city, and Li Jiaojiao also expressed his understanding, but he didn't have much to share in the task of hunting ghost frogs this time.

This is also something that can't be helped, Yi Ming immediately said that he didn't need a task reward, after all, Li Xun came for himself, if it weren't for his own reasons, he wouldn't have put Li Jiaojiao and Jeryman in danger and wasted a lot of trap tools.

They didn't continue to chat, and after hanging up the communication, Yi Ming fell into deep thought, he wanted to use Li Jiaojiao's power or the power of the Mo family to liberate the mining area, but he didn't know how to speak. It was also for this reason that he revealed to Li Jiaojiao that Lei Lao and others were investigating the mining area before.

The reason why he didn't dare to speak was that he couldn't afford to pay for it, and he wasn't arrogant enough to think that Li Jiaojiao would do anything for himself. And he wants money but no money, he has no ability, and the only thing he can do is inherit the Wonder Soldier Ghost Fire and the matching Heavenly Shadow Fire Dance.

Although Lei Lao had already given the ghost fire to Yi Ming, if he changed hands and gave the ghost fire out as a reward, I don't know how Lei Lao would feel. Yi Ming guessed that Lei Lao would most likely expel him from the division and then be forced to leave the Jin Kingdom.

The more Yi Ming thought about it, the more confused his brain became, and in the end he decided to take one step at a time, just because he doesn't have capital now doesn't mean that he won't have it in the future, it's a big deal that in a few years, he will be tough with Sima Xin with his strength. So he began a day of cultivation.

After lunch the next day, Yi Ming received a notice from Lei Lao, and he immediately rushed to Lei Lao's office.

When he walked into Lei Lao's office, Li Qiushu and Lei Lao were chatting casually, and when he saw Yi Ming coming, Lei Lao asked him to sit down casually first.

"Yi Ming, I'm going to give you a task, you will sneak into the mining area tomorrow with Qiushu to find the traces of Mark and the others, and at the same time conduct reconnaissance. How, can you do it? Lei Lao asked kindly.

"No problem, teacher, but how do you know that Big Brother Mark and they were taken to the mine?"

"Claire has already sent someone to see the secret room in the cave area that Li Xun confessed, and Li Longfei has already transferred with Mark. His purpose in doing this is nothing more than to sabotage our mission, and I suspect that the purpose of our trip has already been known to Sima Xin.

Li Longfei's teacher Zhou Yusheng should be Sima Xin's person, otherwise he would not dare to sabotage our mission so blatantly based on the personal grudge between Li Longfei and Mark.

Therefore, the most likely place for Li Longfei to move is the inside of the mining area, and you are the person who is most familiar with the environment inside, so this task naturally falls on your head. ”

Yi Ming nodded and said, "I understand!" Teacher, I knew that there was a hidden place in the mine, and that was a secret room that I had stumbled upon, which appeared to be a warehouse, full of raw ore.

But the raw ore we mined wasn't piled up there, and the prison in the mining area was crowded, and it was unlikely that Big Brother Mark would be taken to the prison, so I think this secret room was probably the place we were looking for. ”

"Oh~, there is such a place? Why don't I see you draw it on the map? Lei Lao asked with a frown.

"Because opening this secret room requires more complicated means, there are a few points I don't know what the principle is, and I can't describe it, so I plan to take you directly there at that time."

"You've learned tricks before?"

Yi Ming secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, he had to find a way to get this matter over, "I haven't studied, but when I was in the mining area, I occasionally listened to some stories from the elders, and I was more interested in the magical tricks they said, and when I was idle, I liked to fiddle with some small things according to their descriptions." ”

"You can't solve the complicated mechanism of that secret room, so what's going on?"

"Because one day when I was about to go to solve the mechanism, I saw a person I had never seen before also fiddling with the mechanism. After he fiddled with it for two minutes, an entrance to the tunnel appeared on the ground, and when I saw him enter, I went up to observe the mechanism and memorize the form of the mechanism when it was removed.

You also know that my innate qualities are not bad, so my eyesight is very good, and I have seen the way that person solve the mechanism. When he came out and walked away, I tried to disarm the mechanism, and it took me five tries in a row to open the entrance to the secret room. ”

Lei Lao frowned when he heard this, and said, "Let's do this first, I don't want you to have this kind of situation next time." ”

Yi Ming hurriedly stood up and promised: "The disciple promises not to make an example!" ”

Lei Lao nodded, pressed his hand to him and said, "You sit down first." The secret room you're talking about is indeed very likely to be our goal this time, and it's the ultimate goal, so the plan needs to be refined. In this way, you and Akiki go back first, and I'm going to discuss it with Clair.

It's still the same request, don't take the task for the first time during this time, and wait for my news at any time. Especially you, Yi Ming, don't tell anyone about this.

After this incident is over, we are almost going back to Longyang City, and when you go back, tell Li Jiaojiao to quit the current team. Lei Lao said in an unquestionable tone.

Yi Ming knew that he couldn't refuse, so he could only agree, and then left with Li Qiushu.

As soon as he went out, Li Qiushu patted Yi Ming's shoulder and said, "Little junior brother, I know you are reluctant to leave here." But if you think about it, you've only been in Letong City for less than two months, so there's nothing to be sorry about.

What's more, Longyang City has more resources, you will meet more excellent talents, and there is no need to hang yourself on a tree. Speaking of this, Li Qiushu showed a meaningful smile.

Yi Ming hurriedly explained: "It's not what you think, senior brother. Actually, I was worried about my friends in the mines. If this mission is successfully completed, it will definitely cause a lot of losses to Sima Xin. If I leave Letong, I wonder what kind of revenge they will face? ”

Li Qiushu sighed lightly and said: "Hey, I also understand your feelings, but since you have walked out of the mining area, then you must learn to adapt to the outside environment, and you can no longer get along with people in the way of the mining area, otherwise you will suffer a lot." ”

"Thank you for your concern, I know what to do."

"You understand best. Let me tell you the good news, Qiu Yu and I will also go to Longyang City with the teacher after the task is completed, and you can come to me at any time if you have any difficulties. ”

Yi Ming asked suspiciously, "Senior brother, isn't your family just happy?" I understand that you are going to Longyang with us, but why do you want to go with Qiu Yu? ”

Li Qiushu smiled and said, "When my sister was ten years old, a grandmaster from Longyang City took a fancy to her and wanted to take her as an apprentice. But she refused to agree, and ran away from home to go to school on the hunting blade.

In the past two years, she hasn't been home much, and she has only kept in touch with me, and she has a lot of trouble with her family. But I don't know what's going on, she suddenly went back during the vacation after the test, and honestly agreed to her father's request to go to Longyang City to apprentice. ”

Li Qiushu seemed to remember something, "By the way, I remember that day she asked me to take her out of the city, but I was on a temporary mission, so I asked her to find you." I don't think you did anything to her, do you? If you dare to have any crooked ideas against my sister, don't blame my brother, I turned my face and didn't recognize anyone! ”

Yi Ming waved his hand again and again and told Li Qiushu what happened that day, and at the same time explained: "Senior brother, if I really did anything to Classmate Qiu Yu, I would have been invited to tea by Grandmaster Li a long time ago, can I still stand in front of you and talk to you?" ”

"Hey, I see. It's really providential, if I knew that this would happen, I should have asked Qiu Yu to wait for two days. ”

Just as Yi Ming was about to comfort him, he continued: "Forget it, since Qiu Yu has agreed to go to Longyang City, this can be regarded as her opportunity, and I am still here." It's just that when I can't get out, I may have to trouble you to help take care of Qiu Yu. ”

"No problem, it's just that I don't have the courage to take Qiu Yu's classmates out of the city again, if I am unlucky and encounter any monsters, I will not be so lucky to meet any mysterious armor people again."

"Look scares you. Don't worry, the low-level areas around Longyang City are still very safe, at least there won't be high-level beasts suddenly, after all, it's the national capital. Li Qiushu said with emotion.

The two brothers left the Hunter Association with a smile and a smile, waiting for Lei Lao to give the task.
