Volume 1: Walking on the Brink of Destruction and Salvation Chapter 42: Excess Caution

"Huh, what is this?"

As soon as Yu Dongshui entered the room, he noticed an incense burner placed in front of the bed.

When did Guan Yuan care so much about me?

Yu Dongshui, who was full of doubts, suddenly found that things were not so simple.

Guan Yuan should have already gone to the office, and there was no time to arrange to prepare such an incense burner. Even if you care about me so much, you can't give it to me from the beginning.

There must be a mystery!

Yu Dongshui thought that the county guard's subordinates might use some means to let themselves join the county guard's account, could it be that he would start acting today?

Is this Magic King so popular?

It may be just because the invitation was rejected, and then he was angry and sent someone to arrange himself secretly.

But being so anxious is not like trying to recruit subordinates, but more like catching criminals.

The identity of the reincarnation of the great mage should not be revealed, otherwise it would not be a character like the county guard to deal with him, and the monster bureau must come forward.

I don't really believe the of the Xuanmi hunters, but it just so happens that the county guard is a Xuanmi lover?

No, you can't complicate things. Anyway, get this thing out first.

Yu Dongshui was about to make a move, but the action stopped in mid-air.

Hey, hey, you can't hide this little trick from me!

If there is a problem with this incense burner, I believe that not only the spices inside are added with special ingredients, but also the medicine is applied to the outside to prevent the target from moving the spices without permission.

It's a boring trick, and you can't hide it from this magic king!

In this case, you have to find something to isolate the contact.

Wait, why don't you call a servant to get this thing away, and then take the opportunity to observe the servant's reaction, see if this incense burner is a trap, and give an explanation to Guan Yuan.

Having made up his mind, Yu Dongshui called outside, and a maid arrived here not long after.

I came quite quickly, did I happen to pass by here or was I arranged by the official to pay special attention to me here?

Or maybe it's a spy sent by the county guard!

Yu Dongshui looked the maid up and down with strange eyes, making the other party at a loss, and his cheeks began to redden.

"That······ Why did Childe call me here?"

The tone is super unnatural, it can't really be another intention.

Don't dare to look directly into my righteous eyes, speak twisted and pinched, and unconsciously put your hands behind your back, absolutely ulterior motives!

Yu Dongshui has already listed this maid as a key suspect.

But if this was on the street, it would have been beaten up as a hooligan by now.

"Well, you go to my room. ”

Yu Dongshui retracted his gaze and gave instructions to the maid.

"Ahh I didn't sell myself in... It was hired by the official... Can't..."

"What's the matter, just let you go in and move something out, do you still want me to do this kind of thing?"

The other party's reaction was too violent, just like the self who was exposed to magic tricks back then.

There is a problem, there is definitely a problem.

Yu Dongshui's vigilance against this maid in his heart has risen to a notch again.

It's really full of traps and calculations, but fortunately my vigilance is overbearing, otherwise I would have been succeeded by the Demon Hunter Association or these guys.

A little pride inexplicably rose in his heart.

"You go ahead. Yu Dongshui followed the maid to the room.

For some reason, the maid had to look back at herself every few steps, as if she was on guard against something.

Yu Dongshui was completely sure that this maid was definitely the eyeliner placed next to him.

Even if it's because I'm handsome, there's no need to turn back in three steps.

"What are you moving?"

The maid was a little worried and walked away from the bed, leaning into a corner of the room and looking at Yu Dongshui pitifully.

Hmph, how could a mere spy get me.

"Just move that incense burner, thank you. ”

Yu Dongshui also stood at the other end and watched the maid timidly bend down to pick up the incense burner, bow and walk out of the room quickly.

Hmph, you haven't found a chance to attack me all the time, have you? You're still trying to deal with you Magic King?

Satisfied, he sat back in his chair and considered whether or not to follow the other person to observe the situation.

Before he could think about it, a dark shadow jumped down from the beam behind him, and one of Mali's knives slashed at Dongshui.

Poor Yu Dongshui, who had been fighting wits and courage with the air for so long, was knocked unconscious like this.

There was actually nothing in that incense burner, just a gift from Guan Yuan in order to further win Yu Dongshui's trust. But because Yu Dongshui went out to the outer city early in the morning, he didn't see each other, so he put this thing directly in his room.

And of course, that maid is not a spy, she is really an ordinary maid. In Dongshui's excessive persecution paranoia, he was made up by his brain as an eyeliner placed by his side.

If Yu Dongshui still had the consciousness to take a look at the person who attacked him at this time, he should be able to recognize Li Yuande, who had a relationship with Tengsnake Tower.

This time, he was ambushed here on the order of the county guard, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack on Dongshui.

But they were not told why.

In his first impression, the man was not bad. Although I don't know if it's strong or not, at least I dare to be ready to help my companions in front of so many police officers - although I was interrupted by myself.

Originally, I was going to find a suitable angle, or to shoot while sleeping, so that it was more safe.

But after witnessing Yu Dongshui's teasing of the maid, his evaluation plummeted, and he couldn't hold back the idea of beating him, and when the target was distracted again, he successfully knocked him unconscious.

As the chief of the guard of the dignified county, his combat power can be selected into the royal Praetorian Guard.

In such a sneak attack, Li Yuande even felt that he could subdue Huangfu Jue, let alone such a hooligan.

But there was one thing that made him very puzzled, why did the county guard arrest him?

Although he also knocked a little from the side of Guan Yuan, it seemed that he wanted to invite him to join the county guard's tent to conspire with something big.

But are you sure you want to let such a scoundrel join your camp?

He also paid attention to this guy for a few days, except for a few days when he couldn't go to the outer city with him due to job restrictions, and he was in a daze and drawing circles all day long.

Li Yuande himself also tried to draw a circle with his left hand and a square with his right hand, but it seemed difficult to do it.

This is undeniable, but it only proves that this guy is idle.

Probably nothing but good-looking. Isn't the county guard afraid that the young lady will be abducted by this guy?

Forget it, just complete the task, why do you want to do so much.

Li Yuande grabbed Yu Dongshui and walked out of the door, then jumped onto the wall and left the compound.

In a secret meeting room in the county warden's mansion, two people were sitting.

The two were silent, as if waiting for something.

At this moment, Li Yuande knocked on the door and walked in: "Lord Earl, Lord Official, the target has been imprisoned in the dungeon, and he can meet at any time." ”

"Got it, go down. As soon as the county guard waved his hand, Li Yuande retreated with interest.

Fan Guangyu turned his head to Guan Yuan, who was sitting opposite: "So, can your plan be implemented?"

"Let's wait for the Great Magician to wake up. Guan Yuan looked at the bottle of magic essence on the table.

"Can this thing really suppress the Great Mage?"

Fan Guangyu still can't believe that the legendary powerful and boundless great magician would be afraid of such a small bottle of liquid.

"Let me tell you, this bottle is called Mana Liquid and was given to me by a friend from a previous time. ”

Guan Yuan continued: "As for the principle of action, I also inquired with my friend. It seems to say that it can oversaturate the magic of the Great Mage, and then cause Honkai. ”

"Overall, it's an item that can make the Great Mage change color, and with this threat, he'll definitely agree. ”

The county guard swallowed and said, "How exactly is it used?"

"Just inject it into him, or drink it. It should work soon. ”

"But I still have a question, what if the Grand Mage pretended to agree to join us, and then took the opportunity to kill us all?"

"Of course, there are preparations. Guan Yuan took out a book: "This is a book that records various heroic deeds during the period of the Immortal Emperor, which is commonly known as Hero Tan." ”

Guan Yuan flipped to one of the pages under Fan Guangyu's puzzled gaze, and then handed the book in front of him.

"There's a story here, a story about the legend of the Western Mountain Giant. ”

Fan Guangyu had heard of this story, but he only remembered a rough idea.

Somewhere in the West, a giant made of rocks appeared, destroying many cities and forests in just one month.

In the end, it was the Grand Magician who arrived and subdued such a rampant giant.

Although it was a story about the Great Magician, he didn't know what it had to do with the fact that the Great Magician would not betray him.

Until he saw a sentence circled by Guan Yuan with a pen.

"The Great Mage has made a pact with the Mountain Giant, which is created by magic and has supreme effect. The contracted party could only obey the orders of the contractor, and in this way, the mountain giants were brought under the command of the Grand Magician to guard a large territory in the west. ”

Fan Guangyu was shocked by this sentence, and he carefully recalled his previous memories, but did not think of any information about this sentence.

"Don't be so surprised, Lord Gunjo. Guan Yuan's expression was satisfied, and he retracted the book: "The stories of the heroes who are now flowing out are all stories that have been cut by the Holy Emperor Church, and the purpose is to consolidate the people's faith in the Immortal Emperor, and to eliminate almost all the positive deeds about the Great Magician. Since such a story doesn't have much meaning, it may be that I didn't bother to delete it anymore if I missed it, but I just removed this sentence that I circled, the purpose is to prevent the cult that believes in the Great Magician from going to the West to find the sleeping mountain giant. ”

Guan Yuan added: "Of course, my book is also incomplete, and it is only a batch before the second revision. ”

"No wonder. Fan Guangyu nodded thoughtfully.

"I'm sure you know what I mean. Use the magic marrow to coerce the archmage into signing a contract with the county guard, so that no matter what, you don't have to worry about him turning back. ”

Fan Guangyu thought about it and said, "But he is not the Great Magician himself, but a reincarnation, can he guarantee that he will still do such magic?"

"I've also heard some news, and I've heard that every time a great mage is reincarnated, he retains the memory of his previous life, but it seems that it takes some opportunity to remember. ”

Guan Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry about this, since he has been hunted down by the Demon Hunting Association, he must have recalled his memory." All that follows is torture time. ”

"It would be nice if everything went well. ”

"Don't worry, Gunmar······ No, it is destined to be great in the future, with the addition of the Great Magician, you will surely be able to overturn the reign of the present debauchery!"

Guan Yuan suddenly left his chair and knelt in front of him, vowing his loyalty.

"Yes, that's right, if it weren't for your suggestion, I never thought that there would be such an opportunity!"

Fan Guangyu helped Guan Yuan up: "We must be able to pull down the emperor who has run out of life from the throne and replace him!"

"I want him to purge the aristocratic faction and send me, a descendant of a duke, to such a border county as a mere earl!"

He clenched his fists and slammed them the table. The wooden table creaked, barely able to withstand the angry blow.

Guan Yuan's face facing the ground showed an evil smile that Fan Guangyu didn't notice.

Soak up this wonderful fantasy now, Lord Earl.
