The spiritual power of the Divine Talisman flowed between Liu Ci's feet, causing her to leap together, and the speed belonging to the Zhuji Monk was blessed.

She should be glad that politics is a contest of wisdom, so as a politician, the Lord of Emster is not the part of the people who stand at the pinnacle of force. This gave Liu Ci the strength to chase the center and grasp the initiative.

It wasn't until he left the city that Liu Ci climbed over the city wall, and the city lord encountered a team of night guards.

When she was forced to climb over the city wall with her bare hands, the lord of the city not only successfully requisitioned a horse, but also gathered some of the guards.

Liu Ci climbed over the wall, and the city lord rode a horse and galloped out of the city gate.

The object of this chase changed from two people to Liu Ci and Ma, and what made her dissatisfied was that she was also running, and she consumed the spiritual power of the Shenxing Fu and her own physical strength, while the city lord consumed the physical strength of livestock. If she didn't have a swordsman with a talisman, wouldn't she suffer a big loss?

What's even more unpleasant is that when the city lord came out, he probably passed the order to pursue the enemy by the way, and Liu Ci quickly knew what treatment would be for attacking the city lord.

The soldiers who fell far behind them were nothing, but the few "black spots" that flew quickly were definitely more difficult to deal with than a thousand cavalrymen! Liu Ci has a sense of consciousness, and she can "see" the scene behind her when she runs forward, and there are a few more people in the chasing army who can catch up with the horses, and she doesn't think that those people will be easier to deal with than the city lord.

How could she forget that Mrs. Katrina's garden house was located next door to the thousand-year-old school.

It's too bad.

Liu Ci, who is not a native, did not expect the scene in front of him, no wonder the chaotic Emster region can operate daily, and the feeling is that no one dares to provoke the behemoth of the Magic Academy. The lord of the castle could not drive the arrogant magician to do his personal business, but the lord of the castle was stabbed under the nose of the Academy of Magic, which apparently escalated to the level of a "national incident".

Liu Ci realized that he had stabbed a hornet's nest.

What now? Fight hard with a tight face? Don't be funny, she was originally here to find trouble, not to avenge her father's murder to the city.

While running towards the steep hill where horses could not walk, Liu Ci turned out various talismans from the lotus pond space and threw them back.

The fluttering rune paper fell to the ground so that people could not notice.

Focusing on fire and earth talismans, Liu Ci scattered dozens of talismans along the way. The castle lord who was in the lead was the first to encounter the earth thorns, and the spikes that appeared from the ground in a flash of light made the horses under him suffer and frightened, and the castle lord fell from the horse. If it weren't for his skill, he would have pounced on the thorns all over the ground.

Beyond the thorns, there was another rain of fire that I had seen not long ago.

Either it will be scorched by the rain of fire, or wait for it to burn for the time to pass.

As for the detour? Liu Ci chose a rugged mountain road, and there was no way to get around. The city lord was bubbling with cold air all over his body, and he was blocked by this, and several black dots behind him had already caught up.

The few people wearing mage robes were of different ages, and they undoubtedly all had the strength of a great mage, as well as the "equipment" that could support them in their rapid stride.

"Hey, what kind of scroll is this?"

A magic scroll that they don't even notice is definitely a good thing.

The focus of several mages immediately shifted from the attack of the city lord to the "scroll". Ignoring the dark face of the city lord, several great magicians began to play the "Minesweeper Game". After the fire rain, they had just advanced a few meters before they were greeted by ice spikes that were not very gentle. The soil under their feet suddenly became viscous, and the wind suddenly rose around them, and the translucent golden blade cut their mage robes mercilessly...... After dozens of "scrolls", large and small, the expressions on the faces of the great magicians were complicated.

Including the city lord, several people are now in a mess, and the outer robe that the city lord hastily put on is completely destroyed, revealing the close-fitting inner armor made of heavy money inside.

The super-defensive mage robes were not intact either, and after waiting for more than ten minutes for no new scrolls to be activated, several archmages agreed that the assassin who was fighting with gold coins would probably not surprise them again.

It's a shame that they haven't experienced enough of the charm of the new scrolls!

The cavalry arrived late, and the city lord ordered a carpet search with a dark face, and several great mages discussed the new scrolls with great interest, despite the fact that they were being raged by ice and fire, and could not see the primary color of the mage robes.

The mountain road is rugged, and there is no trace of Liu Ci ahead.

…………

The cavalry returned in vain, and the lord of the city was furious.

From time to time, people trotted in and out of the city lord's mansion, and the gears of the entire administrative body rarely ran at high speed. People come and go, and a few strangers coming in and out are not too noticeable, and by daybreak, most of the city of Amster knows that the city lord has been attacked.

There was a lot of noise in the city, the number of guards patrolling in broad daylight tripled, and the gates were much stricter than usual.

Lady Betty, the most well-informed of the grapevine, had already sent off several groups of guests, and the Lord of the City sent someone to inquire about it, and Lady Betty also knew nothing about the Assassins.

There was no answer, no warning, the whole thing seemed to be that some boring and powerful rich man suddenly looked down on the city lord who was sleeping with beauty, threw a bunch of magic scrolls at the other party, and disappeared completely.

In the eyes of outsiders, the big guy who fought with gold coins slept all night in a cave where he didn't know who his predecessor belonged to, burned his night clothes, and ran to the trade road where cars and horses were endless to stop a caravan in the direction of Emster City, just to go on the road together, and the captain of the caravan's guard accepted the gold coins and agreed.

Liu Ci did not dislike the stuffiness on the carriage, and learned the unique dress of the women in the Emst Mountains and wrapped a piece of cloth around his head, which could cover his face, and followed the caravan all the way to the city of Emst. It wasn't until the sun was tilting that Liu Ci and the caravan came to the gate of Emst.

Today, the inspection into the city was particularly strict, and the soldiers went over and over to check the caravan's credentials.

"From Oston? What's on the car? Let's take a look at it all. ”

The soldier motioned for the caravan to open the box and check, countless pairs of eyes swept around the tightly bound pallet, and the caravan leader argued with a green face: "Our goods have been fully taxed, and we are legitimate merchants of the Empire!" ”

As soon as he said this, not to mention the ridicule on the faces of the soldiers, even Liu Ci, who was wrapped around his neck and followed behind the carriage, couldn't help but want to laugh.

Why are you laughing? Not to mention that in the magical continent where the powerful nobles divided the territory, the loopholes in the tax law can be drilled everywhere, even in the era of intelligent scanning, there are many interstellar merchants who evade taxes and evade taxes.

The caravan leader was not interested in how to negotiate with Liu Ci, although there were many soldiers distributed in the entire city gate, it was still in a mess. Those who entered the city were stopped and checked, and those who wanted to leave the city were checked more severely. Finally, the leader of the caravan paid part of the tax with a sad face, and it was already an hour later when he beckoned the caravan into the city.

It wasn't until the caravan settled in an inn that the leader remembered the dark-haired girl who had joined them halfway.

When I looked for it again, there was no trace of her, except that I remembered that the girl had a pair of impressive eyes, and when I thought about it, I forgot what she looked like. Hazy and illusory, thinking of the unusual martial law check in Emster City, the caravan leader's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he wished that he had completely lost his memory and forgot the whole thing.

The merchant is very profitable, regretting that he shouldn't even pick up the mosquito legs that don't have any meat, and the few gold coins Liu Ci gave him are particularly hot, and in the atmosphere of the city, the whole heart of the leader is really up and down.

…………

There were no suspicious people coming in or out, and the dastardly assassins were like rats who only made holes, completely disappeared from the city and outside the city.

The lord of the castle was furious.

As a nobleman who survived in the gap between the thousand-year-old magic school and the power of the Holy See, he felt that he had always managed Amster City well.

Far from the center of the empire, a barren but free city with a blue sky, Amster's security is not good, but it is not much worse. The petty fights of the mercenaries can't affect the leisurely life of the big nobles, and the city lord has had a really good life in the past few years.

The wife of a top aristocrat has been bedridden for many years and has no heart or ability to take care of things, and the whole of Emst, as long as he does not have a fever brain to suppress the power of the Holy See, or provoke the behemoth that has been entrenched for thousands of years, money, power, and a well-known lover, he has it at his fingertips.

These days, seeing that there is more and more hope, why is there trouble starting to pop up? During last year's Eater of Souls incident, he was still gloating and watching the Holy See and the Academy of Magic both deflated, and within a few months, he was assassinated in the city!

The assassination took place next to the safest magic academy in Amster!

The city lord is annoyed and afraid, who will assassinate him, and for what?

People with complex minds will always think things more complicated. He doubted that many people even wondered if he had inadvertently destroyed the interests of the Holy See before he flew into trouble, or he did not link the matter to the "poisoning case" that was about to be tried.

Two out-of-town merchants, one of whom is completely transparent in origin, and the other who is young, although somewhat mysterious, cannot make a big storm in the eyes of the city lord.

It's no wonder that his eyes are above the top, but in fact, in the entire continent, the commoners who oppose the big nobles have really not seen much. The city lord's wife's subordinates also knew that Liu Ci was fine, and in the eyes of the city lord, Liu Ci and Stuhl's identities were not much more noble than those herdsmen who dealt with cattle all day long in Emst, and he would not be distracted by two inconsequential people.

If the lord of the city knew that Liu Ci dared to hire someone to burn the vineyard of the Marquis of Strave, he would definitely be impressed by the bold "civilian girl", and it would not be difficult to catch the real assassin by touching the vine.

It's a pity he didn't.

So after rummaging through the city of Amster, the people of the Holy See, the representatives of the Academy of Magic came and went, the city lord's mansion was bustling, and the city lord was doomed to be disappointed.

Tonight is a sleepless night.

There were many patrolling soldiers hiding on the streets of Amster, and it was not so easy to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion at night.

So where is Liu Ci, who still wants to send talisman water to the city lord's wife, at this time?
