Volume 1: Walking on the Brink of Destruction and Deliverance Chapter 117: The Impostor
"Another person missing?"
Yu Dongshui's brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he looked at the information given by Xun Lin.
The Origin Demon Clan has been repulsed, and it stands to reason that everyone's hearts should be at peace.
There have been several cases of sudden disappearance of people before, although most of them are young and strong adults or some half-grown hairy boys, but it is only explained that they fled from the town of Giessen without permission because they were afraid of the attack of the Origin Demons.
But now less than three days later, another missing person has appeared in the town, this time a ten-year-old child.
Fear of the Origin Demon Clan aside, it is unlikely that a ten-year-old child would be able to escape from a heavily guarded town without his parents.
And the search party organized in order to cope with this almost normal time, after a night of carpet searching, there was nothing but a few traces of stampede on the beams.
This had to make Yu Dongshui suspect that there were internal ghosts in this town.
But it can be said that the scope of the search has been narrowed down a lot.
You can carry things that are about your own weight to move stealthily on the beams of the house or on the street, avoiding everyone's eyes again and again, and the other party must also be a person with a lot of combat experience.
It could be a member of an assassination group, or some retired special forces soldier.
But in these chaotic times, what is the use of them abducting these people?
Although the slave trade has been banned by the empire on the surface, the trade in the shadows will not stop.
Like the Serap organization that was guarding against itself at the beginning, I heard that the slave trade in the empire did not stop.
It is said that in a fringe region like Rockshire, far from Iaul, the slave trade is still the same as before.
But under such strict precautions, human trafficking is simply looking for death, right?
In order to deal with the attack of the Origin Demon Clan, each household was allocated resources strictly according to the number of people.
Nowadays, it is impossible to transport people out of the city, and if we want to ensure that the abducted people do not starve to death, we must find ways to obtain the corresponding resources.
What's more, winter is coming, and how to ensure the quality of "goods" when individuals cannot guarantee it?
Therefore, as long as you pay attention to people who have strange thoughts about the warehouse, and then increase the intensity of investigation, I believe that the criminals will be caught in less than half a month.
Yu Dongshui sent a letter, shook his head and laughed at himself for how he took this place for granted.
The mayor of Gieson Town was recalled to Roarkshire before the Origin Demon came to attack due to deployment reasons.
Nowadays, there are very few people who can handle government affairs, and Yu Dongshui still has some understanding of handling political affairs in the discussion with Guan Yuan during that time.
As a result, the operation of this small town in the past few days can be said to be due to the fact that Dongshui, a tool given for nothing, is fully responsible.
They also agreed that before the day when Dongshui set out to defeat the Origin Demons, the town would provide him with a place to experiment with magic and daily necessities.
After all, Yu Dongshui, who had been hunting on the road on his own, hadn't tasted normal food for a long time, and because the temperature was getting lower and lower, the prey on the mountain was not as easy to get as before.
In this way, Yu Dongshui, who is the reincarnation of the Great Magician, took over the important tasks of the past few days, and at the same time thought about new tactics of magic in his free time.
But I have to say that this kind of thing is very handy for some reason, and it seems to be carved into the soul of the skill.
It's just a little bit of a day, and people who don't know think that Yu Dongshui must have been a high-ranking official and a big man who managed a large area before.
As for the plan to make friends, Yu Dongshui also mentioned it to Xun Lin and others.
Unlike Tian Yuan, Xun Lin and the others chose to accept Yu Dongshui's words after hesitating for a moment, and finally shook hands with him and became peers.
Unexpectedly, the thief-turned-freelancer did not resist this at all, but directly couldn't wait to call him a brother.
It may be that there is a plan, but Yu Dongshui doesn't care.
After all, even if the cane is stolen, it is not a big problem, after all, it is just a fox and a fake tiger thing.
If you want to talk about that cane, in fact, Yu Dongshui also found time to do something on it.
It can still come in handy at critical moments.
It's just that if that thief freelancer really wants to monopolize his cane, then Yu Dongshui will not show mercy.
Keeping such people among friends is simply a scourge.
There was a knock on the door, and Yu Dongshui had long been familiar with this somewhat restrained but revealing the rhythm of strength.
"Please come in. ”
Xun Lin, who was in expectation, pushed the door in, and his face was full of joy at this time.
"What's wrong? Could it be that the missing kid has been found?"
Before the other party could speak, Yu Dongshui asked directly.
Unexpectedly, the other party's smile suddenly sank a little, and he said in a low voice: "No, I disappointed Mr. Yu." But we're doing our best to investigate, and if we catch that damn slave trader, we'll have to hang his body on the city wall to dry, or throw it into the wild and feed it directly to the Origin Demon!"
"Hey the Origin Demon Clan, that's not necessary, you can't give the other party any chance to recover your strength. ”
Yu Dongshui said: "So, what is it that makes you look so happy?"
"That's great news!"
Xun Lin walked in front of Yu Dongshui excitedly at this time, pressed the table with both hands and said excitedly: "The people of the Demon Hunting Association and the support of the team personally led by the director of the Demon Hunting Bureau are here!"
Hmm?————
Yu Dongshui's expression froze.
What the hell? Why are these guys here? Could it be that they're monitoring my magic reaction?
If you want to defend against the Origin Demon Clan, you should have come here to garrison a long time ago!
But after thinking about it, the mood of the Great Magician's reincarnation calmed down a lot.
Today's elite of the Demon Hunting Association, including the Punisher, who can threaten themselves, have all gone to the territory of the Harmen Kingdom to fight against the main force of the Origin Demons, and they may not know that the Begret Empire has also been attacked by the Origin Demons.
As for the director of the Monster Bureau, I remember that it was called Li Xuan, the person who was accused of shielding his escape, and he didn't pose much of a threat to himself.
If a battle really breaks out, judging from the hole cards in his hand and his current proficiency, even if there are three gods in the team of the Demon Hunting Association, there is nothing to be afraid of.
But it's best to keep your identity a secret.
After all, the reason he came to this town was not to make a big deal and take the opportunity to wipe out the people of the Demon Hunting Association and the Monster Bureau;
And in order to protect the Hethritu not far away and the place where there are memories, defeat and kill all the origin demons outside.
If you can continue to maintain the identity of the artifact holder, you may still be able to get the help of those people, and it is also a good choice to serve as an intelligence collector or cannon fodder.
Yu Dongshui nodded and said, "I understand." You mean you want me to meet them?"
"If the adults are willing!" Xun Lin forgot for a moment that he had promised not to use honorifics.
"According to the preliminary understanding, the purpose of their coming to this town is also to prevent the Origin Demon Clan from counterattacking again, and at the same time, they want to know what reason can help us repel the Origin Demon Clan. ”
Yu Dongshui, who was not wearing a white robe for the time being, felt a tightening in his heart: "You won't give your identity directly, right?"
"Not really. Xun Lin smiled: "I said that they will know when the time comes." ”
Fortunately, otherwise, it is estimated that if something is revealed, the battle will really start on the spot.
The next meeting is to sell them some false information to mislead them.
As for the so-called artifact, listening to the freelancer's account should be an extremely mysterious thing, although there is no guarantee that the high-level leaders of the Demon Hunter Association like the Punisher or the Divine Favor will not know, but these small characters who stay to guard the city of Rock County should still be easier to fool, right?
As for Li Xuan, it's just a small monster bureau, so you don't have to take it to heart.
"Please wait for me outside for a while, I'll change my clothes and come out. ”
Yu Dongshui got up and instructed: "Also, if I tell any lies in front of them, don't debunk them, after all, I don't trust them very much." ”
Xun Lin, who understood that "I trust you very much", was suddenly moved to moisten his eyes, and nodded vigorously: "Of course!
After visiting the fortifications of Jisen Town, Li Xuan felt more and more that this level could block the attack of the Origin Demon Clan, which was really a miracle that could not be encountered.
Not only did he have such thoughts, but the other monster elites who were traveling with him all had expressions of disbelief.
To be sure, such a town can reach such a level of defense that can be considered wartime.
It is very admirable to build to such a point without the guidance of professional armed personnel.
But this kind of defense is still too simple for the Origin Demon Race, which has such a powerful power.
"Director Li, we don't know much about the city's defense system, in your opinion, what level is this kind of defense?"
The people of the Demon Hunting Association were a little unsure, so they decided to ask Li Xuan, who was a little more knowledgeable, for advice.
"Commendable fortifications. But if this level can withstand the attack of the Origin Demon Race, it must be with the help of the Immortal Emperor. ”
"The Emperor of Immortality?"
There was a voice not far away, it was from the mouth of Xun Lin, who had just gone up to the city wall and happened to hear them talking.
"Of course we have the help of the Immortal Emperor!"
"Don't joke about this, Captain Xun. ”
Li Xuan still has a little impression of this freelancer team, and it is also a relatively good team that is expected to be incorporated into the Monster Bureau in the future.
"In the name of the Emperor of Eternal Life, I would never dare to make any jokes about this. ”
The captain of the freelancers leaned to the side, giving way to the masked man in white behind him.
"Demon Hunter Society······ And the guys from the Monster Bureau?"
The white-robed man glanced at the people present, as if he was identifying.
"Who is this?" asked a demon hunter who was in charge of the temporary.
"Yu is the guardian of the artifact left behind by the Immortal Emperor, and has always guarded this place in accordance with the will of the Immortal Emperor. If you want to ask who the person who defeated the Origin Demon Race a few days ago is, then it is the next one. ”
Unlike the sophisticated voice of his young voice that reached the ears of everyone present, the expression on the face of the higher-ranking demon hunter gradually changed from incredible to excited.
At the same time, Yu Dongshui, who was pretending to be the guardian of the artifact, was also nervously waiting for the demon hunter's answer.
Finally, the Demon Hunter stretched out his hand, which was already trembling with excitement, and said, "I see, I see! It turns out that this town has been preserved under the protection of the Demon Suppressor! Please let me shake your hand and accept my most reverent respect!"
Huh?
Yu Dongshui's head tilted: What did this guy make up for in his brain?
