Qin Qi opened the letter, spread it on the table, and browsed it with Lingyue. Bertto stood behind the two and looked at the table.

This is a letter written on parchment, the text on it Qin Qi can still be read, that is, it is written with a bit of personality, like a caterpillar, the horizontal and vertical hooks are arcs, and the small seal has the same magic. The letter does not contain much of it, but is roughly as follows:

"My faithful servant, I need you to go to Changhu Town on the anniversary to hijack the officials in the government building and find the whereabouts of the sergeant's sword, and I will cooperate with you inside."

Qin Qi glanced down, and his signature was: Your master, Lord Moxid. ”

"Moxid?!"

Suddenly, Bethlito snatched the letter.

"What's wrong, Burlito?" Qin Qi asked quietly.

"How could it be Mosied?" Bethlito clenched his pipe, "Logically he would have been dead. ”

"Dead?"

Bertto put the letter down and pressed his index finger to Mosed's signature: "Twenty years ago, the senate of the Phalms sent me and a few royal priests to arrest Mosed, and finally we imprisoned him in the underwater dungeon of the frozen lake where all the evil mages should go. The dungeon was unusually cold and severe, and no mage had ever survived the dungeon, let alone twenty years. ”

Qin Qi smiled and expressed his opinion: "Maybe someone will release him, in our place, as long as there is money, the prison prison can't lock people." ”

After listening to Qin Qi's speculation, Burlito frowned, walked around the table in the hall a few times, and did not speak, allowing his precious tobacco leaves to be exhausted in the sparks, this kind of extravagant waste was quite different from the hedonism he usually pursued.

Seeing that Berlito didn't speak again, Qin Qi turned around and gave Lingyue a look: "Lingyue, do you know who Moxid is?" ”

Lingyue shook her head and leaned her face over again: "It is estimated that it is his rival in love." ”

"What a joke." Bertto stopped pondering, turned around, and glared at Lingyue, "Mosed is one of the seven guardians of the Blackstone Staff Society, I know him, he joined the Blackstone Staff Society at the instigation of Nordland when he was young, and became the mainstay of the Blackstone Staff Society. ”

"So, Mosheed is the nobleman we talked about last time, the one who commanded the bald head to steal the sergeant's sword?" Qin Qi asked.

"Moheed is not a nobleman, but it is even Nordland or the crown prince, he used his privilege to give Moheed a noble status, which is why Moheed is willing to become a loyal subordinate of Nordland, Moheed is very concerned about status."

Lingyue patted Qin Qi: "Look at the letter again, maybe there are other discoveries." ”

Qin Qi picked up the parchment and observed it carefully, he noticed that every line of words was tilted down to the right, which was different from the way ordinary people slanted to the right, so Qin Qi's first reaction was that the letter writer was a left-hander. He sniffed the paper again and found that there was a peculiar smell on it, very pungent, a bit like the smell of medicinal wine in his own home.

"Bethleto, you smell it," Qin Qi handed over the paper, "It smells so strange. ”

Bertto put the parchment under his nose and sniffed it, and immediately sniffed out the clues.

"It's the smell of transformation water." Baillito put down the parchment, "The letter says that Moheed will be with the bald man, which means that Moheed has probably transformed into a man in the government building." ”

"How is it possible to become a person in a government building?" Qin Qi shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

"It's not difficult, as long as you keep drinking transformation water."

Bethleto walked to the shelf, took out a small box of medicines, and handed him to Qin Qi: "Qin Qi, this is the medicine that resolves black magic." From now on, you have to pay attention to whether there are any people in the government building who are acting abnormally, unlike before, and you must know that Moxid is not a good type. ”

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention to this."

"And," Bertlito said, gesturing to the letter on the table, "it looks like I'll have to go back to the Priest Kingdom and 'visit' Mosed in the Frozen Lake Dungeon myself." It is difficult to rule out that someone deliberately pretended to be Moshid to find the sergeant sword, after all, there are many people who want the sergeant sword. ”

With that, Bethlito picked up his staff and walked out the door.

"Wait, Bethlito," Qin Qi called Bethlito to to a halt, "why did you come back so soon?" They all told me you were going to Horseback. ”

Baillito pulled Qin Qi aside and deliberately lowered his voice: "The battle situation on the front line is not very optimistic, and I came back to inform Changhu Town to prepare for war." Remember, the Headless Warrior didn't complete the mission, he must still be wandering around Long Lake, try to avoid him, you can't beat him yet. ”

Qin Qi nodded to Burlito. Bethleto put on his cloak, his smile returned to his old face, he waved his hand towards Lingyue, and walked down the stairs, at this time he did not forget to tell Qin Qi.

"During the time I went to the Fashi Country, you took good care of Lingyue for me."

After seeing Bethlito leave, Lingyue found that only her and Qin Qi were left in the hall. Unlike before, Ling Yue obviously felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, she recalled the hug Qin Qi gave her just now, her face flushed again, and the whole person looked at Qin Qi like a statue.

Qin Qi didn't notice this, he only cared about checking the letters and envelopes, eager to find some important information from these letters, for him, it was the most important thing to find that Mosed quickly at this moment, maybe Moheed was the man in black who brought him into this world.

Seeing Qin Qi's serious reading of the letter, Ling Yue's two hands were clasped tightly together and he was hesitating. After a while, she mustered up the courage to talk to Qin Qi.

"Qin Qi, I have something I want to tell you."

Qin Qi turned his head and found that Ling Yue was still beside him: "Why don't you go to sleep yet?" It's almost dawn. ”

"Well, I'll sleep."

"You just said you had something to tell me?" Qin Qi noticed the long-lasting flush on Ling Yue's face, thinking that she was sick, so he put the back of his hand on her forehead.

Lingyue subconsciously took a step back. After squirming for a long time, she invited Qin Qi: "There is a banquet in the mayor's manor tonight, can you accompany me?" ”

After saying this, Lingyue felt that her whole person was relaxed.

"This," Qin Qi thought for a moment, he saw Ling Yue's longing eyes, remembering that last night she risked her to be her female companion to the "alley" to investigate, and felt that he owed her a lot, although it was important to find Moxid, but he had always kept this truth in his heart.

After a round of deliberation, Qin Qi smiled kindly at Ling Yue: "Okay, no problem, I will accompany you on time tonight." But I don't have any clothes for the party. ”

"I'll take care of this." Lingyue smiled brightly, turned her head and ran upstairs, "I'm going to sleep." ”

Qin Qi watched with satisfaction as Lingyue disappeared at the top of the stairs, and immediately he continued to return to the table and study the letters on it. He stared at the parchment, thinking that he had not been in the government building for long, and that the people in it had ranged from the mayor to the cleaner Horne, and he knew a few people, most of whom were too familiar to name, and if he looked them up, it was estimated that eighty percent of them would be considered Mosheed.

Thinking of this, Qin Qi smiled bitterly. Suddenly, an incident crossed his mind, and he remembered that when he overheard the bald head interrogating Viscount Demayin, Viscount Demayin had said that General Radic was the same custodian of the sergeant's sword as Bethlito. As the custodian of the sergeant's sword, General Radic must have been very experienced in protecting the sergeant's sword. Why don't you tell him all about it?

Qin Qi glanced at the whitening sky outside the window, hastily put away the letters, hurriedly changed into the uniform of the border guards, and walked out.

The sun was rising again from the horizon, the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, and only a few small white birds flew by. Qin Qi had just come out of the government building with his long sword in his hand, he closed his eyes and breathed in the fresh air greedily, he learned from the mouth of the cleaner Horne that General Radike left the government building very late last night when he worked at the border guard headquarters, and he estimated that he didn't come back so early today. He planned to visit him in person at General Radike's residence, a house made of white rock.

The white house where General Radike lived was located in the Eastern District, not far from the government building, and it took Qin Qi less than ten minutes to see the door. The decoration on the outside of the house is very simple, except that the color is more conspicuous, it is no different from the houses of ordinary people living in the surrounding area.

The most special thing about the house is that the temperature inside is several degrees lower than outside. Qin Qi entered a rotunda under the leadership of the servants, and as soon as he entered the hall, Qin Qi found that the biting cold air was coming from all directions, and it was useless to wrap his body in a cloak. There was a fireplace in the hall, and wisps of white smoke came out of the pitch-black charcoal in the fireplace, which seemed to have just been extinguished.

Above the fireplace there are several wooden carvings of warriors, and there is an oil painting on the wall. The painting depicts an open grassland, with a group of cavalry galloping across the meadow, and a flag with a red cross standing in the middle of the cavalry, fluttering in the wind. If he hadn't realized that he was in another strange world, Qin Qi would have thought that this was an oil painting commemorating the Crusades.

"The painting is of the cavalry of the new city."

Qin Qi heard someone talking behind him, turned his head to look, and found that General Ladic was already standing behind him unconsciously. He was dressed in a border guard uniform, heavily armed, and looked like he was going to war.

"General, I'm here for you." Qin Qi bowed respectfully and gestured.

"Hmm~" Ladike patted Qin Qi's shoulder, with his usual kind smile, "Let's go outside." ”

With that, the two left the house and walked out into the street. It was early in the morning, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, Qin Qi bought two baked cakes to share with General Radic, and while he was free to eat baked cakes, Qin Qi told General Radic all the things he encountered last night. After listening to Qin Qi's description, General Radike's expression was calm, and he was not at all serious and serious as Qin Qi imagined, and this reaction made Qin Qi a little confused.

General Ladic noticed Qin Qi's puzzled expression, and once again showed his characteristic kind smile: "This kind of thing is not as serious as you think, for so many years, there have always been people who want to get the sergeant sword from the hands of our custodians, but in fact, they have never succeeded. ”

"I see," Qin Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you didn't care about this at all like Bethlito. ”

"Did Bethlito tell you about the sergeant's sword?" General Radic asked lightly, "He told you the whereabouts of the sergeant's sword?" ”

Qin Qi shook his head: "Of course it can't be, how could he tell others about such an important thing." ”

General Radique stopped suddenly, he reached into his clothes, took out a dark yellow letter, and handed it to Qin Qi.

Qin Qi took it and turned it over to see that there was a familiar name written on it: Haite Luoma.

"General, what does this mean?"

Ladik put his hand on Qin Qi's chest and said solemnly: "I now give you an important task, you immediately set off to Mabei Town, and give this letter to Haite Luoma, the commander of the Seventh Army, the situation on the front line is not optimistic, this is my advice to him, you must arrive in Mabei Town within two days." ”

Qin Qi stared at the letter in his hand, but he didn't give a clear answer to General Radek. He was not familiar with the route to Horseback Town at all, and besides, he had already promised Lingyue to accompany her to the banquet tonight, and if he promised General Radix to deliver the letter, he would not be trustworthy. But General Radik's mission was obviously more important, related to the victory or defeat of the war, involving the lives of countless people, and he was a soldier himself, and he knew the importance of this task.

General Radique seemed to see Qin Qi's hesitation. He put his hand on Qin Qi's shoulder and looked at him with a trusting look: "Qin Qi, Tans will be back today." The reason why I didn't give him this task is because I trust you more, I know that you will get this done, you don't have to hesitate, hurry up and go to the government building to prepare. ”

Qin Qi knew that he couldn't push it off, so he put the letter away, and after bidding farewell to General Radik, he rushed to the government building.
