Chapter Twenty-Eight: A New Mission
Mo was thinking about how to get out, and he was pushed by someone.
"It's here!" The soldier in the back replied.
Mo Beitian raised his head and found that Xiao Wanlong was standing on the balcony on the second floor of the original village castle. His eyes were blazing, his uniform was full, and his eyes as sharp as a tiger stared at the stranger standing below.
"Bring him to the council chamber!" Xiao Wanlong left the balcony after saying this.
Several soldiers pushed and shoved Mo to the place he had been to several times.
Xiao Wanlong, the leader of the original village, had already taken off his armor and changed into a set of regular clothes at this time, and was sitting in his seat.
"You guys go down. No one is to come in without my summons! The leader waved his hand, and the soldiers below who had been following behind Mo Yitian all turned around and left the hall with their fists clenched.
When the door of the council hall was closed, Xiao Wanlong asked unhurriedly, "How is it?" Have you solved all the riddles? ”
Mo Zhitian knew that he couldn't hide, so he replied very honestly: "I have limited knowledge, I can only solve one, and the remaining one is really powerless, if you take my life because of this, I can only accept my fate." Then he went over the answer to the second puzzle and all his thoughts.
Xiao Wanlong was not angry because Mo was unable to solve the problem of zuihou. He didn't say a word, just stared at Mo Beitian carefully for a while, and said, "Boy, I know you're telling the truth. I don't embarrass you, since Zuihou can't solve a puzzle for the time being, let's put it first. I don't bother to kill you, but this capital crime can be avoided and the living crime is inevitable, and the problem has not been solved in the past few days, so I have to give you a small punishment. ”
"How do you want to punish it?"
"Do me another thing."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Help me get to New Alexandria and get a message to Paul."
Mo Yitian couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Since you have the device to contact him, you still have to pass the word?" ”
"Hahahaha, boy, do you really not understand or are you pretending to be stupid? That Paul knew our coordinates to send me an email, which in itself was a very risky thing to do. Originally, the Guardian Stone could have completely isolated this place from the outside world. The signal from the outside world can't be transmitted here at all, that Paul can actually crack the isolation function of the guardian stone, if he is the enemy, we will be finished long ago! Thankfully, after my investigation, he's probably from our side, but I can't risk using an electronic device to message him anymore. If it is targeted by the lackeys of the Republic this time, Lonely Soul Mountain is likely to fall. It will be too late to regret it then! ”
"What you say makes a lot of sense, but aren't you afraid that I'll use the opportunity to run away?" Don't ask against the sky.
"Boy, you and I know the answer to this kind of question, so don't ask it again. You yourself should know yourself better than I do. If you say yes, I won't break my word. I'm sure you'll complete the task I've given you and come back here obediently. ”
Mo Beitian suddenly felt that although Xiao Wanlong was a rough man on the surface, the city government was very deep, and he was also very accurate in seeing people. There should be many unknown things in him. But I don't want to know that now. Now that the leader has made up his mind that he will agree to his request, and in fact he really wants to do something for the original village, then he doesn't need to shirk it anymore.
"Well, I can go and pass the word, but you have to tell me what you're going to say to him first!" Don't ask against the sky.
"Well, you can just agree. In fact, it is very simple for you to pass on the words, you just have to tell him that what he asks us to do, we have already arranged it, as long as he is willing to be in place at any time. ”
"Can you tell me what that means?" Mo asked again.
"Boy, that's all I can tell you right now. All you have to do is pass the word, and the rest is up to you. Xiao Wanlong said impatiently.
Seeing him in such a tone, Mo Zhitian replied righteously: "I promise to help you." But I think you should also know that I did it for the people of the original village. I just don't want to see them suffer, and I'm not interested in your revenge jihua. ”
Xiao Wanlong touched his beard and smiled for a while. After that, he said to Mo Yitian in an almost commanding tone: "Lao Tzu, I will naturally handle my affairs myself." All you have to remember is that we have the same intention! I won't say more nonsense. Today, when you go back, you will prepare, and if you lack anything, let my guards help you go down the mountain to the village to buy something. But don't alarm others when you prepare, especially my daughter, she has too much playfulness and has always been reluctant to stay here, if you let her know that you are going to New Alexandria, she will definitely pester me and let you take her, I don't want me and Bi Ru's only daughter to have an accident. Well, if you're done packing your things and you're leaving tomorrow, I'll let my trusted guards escort you out of the forest and the fog barrier. When you leave the control of the original village, you have to go on the road alone, do you understand? ”
Mo Beitian nodded, and Xiao Wanlong stopped instructing.
When Mo Beitian left the stone castle, it was almost noon. He went back to the bamboo hut and finished the food brought by the guards, and began to gather what he needed to go to New Alexandria tomorrow. When he was knocked unconscious by Xiaoxue, the backpack given to him by the Golden Mask was lost. Now he had nothing on him but the key, button, or note Paul had given him. Going to New Alexandria should be a long trip. He still hasn't figured out where the Lonely Soul Mountain is, and if he wants to go to New Alexandria, he must first find out the location. Looks like a map is needed. It is estimated that it is impossible to have an electronic map of the whole territory of the Republic here, and it is good to have an original map of the region. Flashlights and weapons are also absent. I'm afraid that the inhabitants here still use flint and steel for cooking and lighting fires, well, as long as there are flint and steel, as long as there are branches, they can be used as torches for lighting. It seems that the problem with the flashlight can also be solved. As for weapons, Mo Bangtian felt that it should be enough to buy a firewood knife at the village market.
After Jihua was well, Mo went to Guyu Village with the guards. Although it was not the time for the market to open, there were still some scattered vendors selling on the streets. Mo Bingtian bought what he needed according to Jihua, and went to the inn and pharmacy to buy some dry food and emergency medicine. When the sun set, Mo returned to the bamboo hut with the necessities for travel.
I didn't say anything all night, and I got up early the next morning to pack my bags. At this time, Xiao Wanlong's cronies and guards had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Mo followed these people down the hill along the path. They did not go the usual way in order to avoid disturbing others. This matter was just a personal agreement between Xiao Wanlong and Mo Beitian, and the leader didn't want other people from the original village to get involved. Even these guards who escorted Mo Zhitian only knew that they wanted to send this stranger out of the Lonely Soul Mountain.
The group soon came to the bottom of the mountain. They used the cover of the woods to avoid the beasts, and all the way around the swampy pools to the outskirts of the Lonely Soul Mountain. After walking two or three miles ahead, it is no longer the boundary of the original village. Several guards told Mo that they could only send him here, and that the rest of the way would have to be solved by himself. After thanking the guards, he set out on a journey to New Alexandria alone.
