At dawn in the east, Ma Shuo detoured dozens of kilometers to the edge of the forest again. Looking back at the village in the distance behind him, two or three curling smoke had just risen, and it was blown away by the breeze in an instant.

"Why did you delay for so long?" Ling Shuang's puzzled voice sounded beside the big tree not far away, "You should have been back three hours ago." ”

Ma Shuo walked to Ling Shuang's side with a smile: "When you meet the four Golden Guards, it's not easy to get rid of them. ”

"Golden Guard?" Ling Shuang raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and instantly remembered the four big men she saw in the market: "Why are they chasing you?"

"Remember what I said about ghosts and apostles?" explained as Ma Shuo unwrapped his back, "After killing the ghosts, the apostles and I were both defeated. Woke up from a coma with nothing around him. ”

"They suspect that I caused the apostle's disappearance. The package was spread on the ground and opened: "Why, is this the biotite you want?"

"Yes. Ling Shuang nodded: "These biotas are more than enough to make two thousand sets of equipment. ”

Then, after a moment of contemplation, he continued: "Isn't you, then, the disappearance of the apostle caused by you?"

Knowing that the biotite task had been overfulfilled so much, Ma Shuo was completely relaxed. Hearing Ling Shuang's question, he immediately rolled his eyes: "Yes, my head was kicked by me, but what about the corpse?"

Putting away the package on his back again, picking up three or four more packages on the ground, and when the two returned in parallel, Ma Shuo couldn't help but shrug his shoulders: "Wake up from a coma, don't talk about the corpse, there is not even a trace of blood." If it weren't for the traces of the battle around me, I would have thought it was just a dream!"

This situation has never been heard of in Ling Shuang's life for 100 years. Suddenly looked at Ma Shuo's chest and abdomen and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are there so many bullet holes on your body?

"Nope. A strange smile appeared on Ma Shuo's face, and he turned around to look at Ling Shuang's back, only to see more than twenty bullet holes densely packed. If it weren't for the loose folds of the cloak to cover it, Ling Shuang would have seen it clearly at a glance.

Seeing so many bullet holes running through the front and back, Ling Shuang immediately stopped and grabbed Ma Shuo's cloak and unfolded: "Directly pierce, did you use the cloak as bait?"

"Nope. Hearing this, Ma Shuo smiled again: "But relying on the fact that his body is soft enough, he just performed two tricks under the cloak! At the same time, he also scared and scared them, saving them trouble in the future! Let's go, let's go, go back." ”

With that, he took the lead and walked towards the northern castle.

Hearing Ma Shuo's explanation, Ling Shuang instantly thought of the four Golden Guards, and saw what the expressions of the people who couldn't be killed were there. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile: "Are you prepared to be in the dark all the time?"

Ma Shuo suddenly stopped moving forward, hesitated for a moment before turning his head and replied: "There is nothing wrong with having light and darkness. And I'm going to let you open a shop. ”

"I, shop?" Ling Shuang, who was also stepping up, was stunned, pointed to his nose and asked, "Do you think I can become a merchant?"

Ma Shuo shook his head when he heard this: "No, the shop is not for making money, but for hiding things and obtaining information." As for what to do and whether to make money?"

Speaking of this, Ma Shuo also pondered for a moment and replied: "This is not important for the time being, anyway, we are not short of money, are we?"

Then, Ma Shuo seemed to smile again: "Moreover, if there is a shop in Silverspring Town, it can also be used as an outpost of the ancient castle, I think they will also agree to this suggestion, right?"

"You're going to tell them about the fish crystal?" Ling Shuang suddenly wondered, "That's right, there are a lot of red groupers, if we use gems and doghead gold as cover, we don't have to hide in the castle all the time." ”

"Alas!" Ma Shuo sighed deeply, interrupting with a deep regret on his face, "That was decades ago! It is said that last year, not a single red spotted fish were caught."

"What?" Ling Shuang suddenly stopped, looking down at Ma Shuo's eyes full of seriousness: "Really?"

"Really!" Ma Shuo nodded heavily and explained, "I don't believe you can go to the town and inquire, almost all rich businessmen know about this!"

Receiving this answer, Ling Shuang's brows immediately furrowed tightly: "I was born on Moonstone Island and have lived there for decades. Although the number of red groupers was not large that year, it is conservatively estimated that there are still four or five thousand adult red groupers in the entire sea area!"

"Decades ago!four or five thousand!" Ma Shuo repeated Ling Shuang's words in a low voice, and suddenly felt a creep in his back.

Even if it takes three or four years for the fish to reach adulthood, how many years have accumulated so far, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, or even more?

At this time, Ling Shuang also took out the fish crystal he was carrying, and glanced deeply at Ma Shuo.

She's aware of the weirdness, too!

Even if these fish crystals of unknown geometry are evenly distributed all over the world, how many Inhumans are still alive among humans? Ma Shuo hadn't thought about it carefully, but now after Ling Shuang's reminder, he immediately felt a feeling of extreme fear after thinking about it!

How many Inhumans are still alive in the world?

Black Gate, how strong is the strength hidden?

"Is this the reason why you are hiding in the shadows?" Ling Shuang couldn't help pursing her lips, and sighed when she saw Ma Shuo's helpless admitting appearance: "Go back quickly, maybe your idea is right!"

Three days later, the town hall of Silver Spring.

The mayor in the center of the main seat leaned back in his chair and watched the dozen or so men and women in fancy clothes remaining at the round table arguing and discussing. These are the richest businessmen in Silver Spring Town, covering almost all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation in the town.

"I'm proposing! Each family will take a portion of the profits and catch that damn thief!"

"Hmph! It's easy for you to say, how much do you get? Is it based on the profits of each company or is it all average? If you don't know this, I won't pay a penny!"

"Hey, hey. Of course, your family only lost a few tons of salt yesterday, and the Otis family lost 10 kilograms of biotite three days ago! That was an accidental acquisition by their ancestors a hundred years ago, and now the market price is 70 or 80 million, and there is no market!"

"What? Your family has lost anything other than salt? Except for the unfortunate Otis, has any of our family been stolen for more than 100,000 yuan?"

"But why did this guy steal so much salt, and according to the adults, he couldn't kill with a gun!"

While a few people were discussing, the guards at the door reported loudly: "The mayor, the apostle, and the messenger are here!"

"Apostle!" more than a dozen big merchants were suddenly stunned, and the mayor of the town also suddenly stood up and said in surprise: "The messenger is also here?

As he spoke, he immediately left the main seat, and led the merchants to the door.

Pushing open the double doors of the council hall, I saw two men and women in white robes, smiling and exchanging chest salutes with the mayor: "Messenger Tias, lead the apostle Morpheus to greet the mayor on behalf of my god!"
