Volume 1 Burning Chapter 196 Return to Nanyang City

When Qin Tianxin arrived, his expression was very special when he saw Alberta for the first time, first surprised, then surprised, and then gradually became a little depressed, and after a few words of greeting Alberta, he hurried back.

Regarding the fire in the village, Qin Tianxin also brought the latest news, and the Nanyang City Government was searching for clues day and night under the pressure exerted by the King of Zhennan.

But according to the phenomenon described by the villagers, dozens of black cavalry disappeared out of thin air as if they had evaporated from the world that night, and there was no clue about it.

One of the mercenaries went to the government to report the crime, and had seen the cavalry on the night of the incident, but the information they said was useless for the investigation of the case.

According to the situation described by Lei Tian, Alberta, and Zhou Yuanwu, the Nanyang City Messenger had been closely following the Tempest Mercenary Group for several days, and there was no sufficient indication to prove that it was their doing.

And the key evidence "Zhao Wenkang" mentioned by Lei Tian and others has not been seen in recent days.

According to the reply of the Tempest Mercenary Group, it seems that this is also reasonable, after all, it is logical for the mercenaries to go on a mission, and it is logical that they will not come back for a month or even a year and a half, and the only way is to wait for Zhao Wenkang to come back.

But Gongsun Jin thinks that they can't all hope for "Zhao Wenkang", if the corpse that night is really Zhao Wenkang, and the "Zhao Wenkang" replied by the Tempest Mercenary Group is out on a mercenary mission, they can say that "Zhao Wenkang" is in distress in the execution of the mission, and the body is unknown, which is also in line with common sense.

In recent days, Gongsun Jin still advocates maintaining the status quo, after such a long time, this matter has gradually faded out of the lives of the villagers, and now the whole village is peaceful, so it is good to continue like this.

In the argument with Lei Tian and other mercenaries, Gongsun Jin also generously admitted that he was afraid, afraid that the village would not be able to withstand such a toss, or repeat the mistakes of the past, the other party was a B-level mercenary group, and the mercenaries alone were more than the total population of the entire village, and there were many capable people like cows.

It is expected that Lei Tian and Gray Gary are not convinced, and under Gongsun Jin's straightforward words, there is nothing to be done. In the face of this disparity in strength, he is still helpless, and the difference in strength between the brave mercenary group and the tempest mercenary group can be said to be a world of difference.

It was only after Alberta carefully understood what had happened that he made a more ambiguous decision, that this revenge must be avenged, and that the murderer must be brought to justice in order to be worthy of the hundreds of villagers who died. But it's not now, even if there is conclusive evidence now, just think about it, does the government really dare to do it directly with the Tempest Mercenary Group regardless of the price?

A B-class mercenary group really has the strength to threaten the safety of one party, and it cannot be ruled out that Zhang Wude will do extreme things for his only son, and at that time, I am afraid that for the sake of the overall situation, the brave villagers and the brave mercenary group will be labeled as causing trouble for no reason.

After Alberta's words, Lei Tian was still unwilling, and asked Alberta when he would be able to let out this bad breath, but Alberta smiled and stopped talking.

A few months went by in a flash.

The villagers have gradually forgotten the fire in the busy and joyful days of the "rice" harvest, except for those lonely graves standing outside the village from time to time people go to pull weeds and burn some paper money, few people mention this matter anymore.

A wisp of green smoke slowly rose on the head of Wang Lao's grave, and Gongsun Jin sat on the ground and leaned against the grave, fiddling with the burning yellow paper with both hands.

"Elder Wang! Now everyone has regained hope, and they are broken and established, what the ancients said is right!" Gongsun Jin muttered to the grave.

"Now the whole village is like a family living in harmony, once upon a time those trivial things that gave you a headache are no longer visible, you don't have to care about whose doll steals other people's food, whose family fights because of trivial things, and you don't have to worry about whether we have enough to eat. Look at it!" Gongsun Jin's expression was a little passionate, pointing to the clean cloth clothes he was wearing today, and continued to Wang Lao's grave: "In the past six months, all the children in the village who can meet the standards have joined the brave mercenary group, and they all work hard and earn more commissions. ”

Gongsun Jin's expression was a little low when he said this, and his voice was a little hoarse and said: "But your hatred, you can only wait for the head of the regiment to come back, I feel that the head of the regiment should have a way, don't look at the fact that we don't have much contact with him, but I feel that after he comes back, there will definitely be a way!"

The sky gradually darkened, and Gongsun Jin stayed in the cemetery outside the village for a long time before slowly walking back.

Nanyang City is still lively at night, especially the central street that is large enough for more than 15 horse-drawn carriages to pass side by side.

At night, the torii gate at the head of the street is brightly lit by magic lamps, and four huge stone pillars with a diameter of about 2 meters are also like four bright pillars of light, emitting bright colors at night.

"This street is really spacious, compared to the main street of Vigrana City, it is not inferior at all!" Julia, who came to Nanyang City a few days ago, let out a sigh when she saw this street. And now Julia was briskly looking around the street, wandering around at random, followed by Alberta with a helpless face.

Alberta and Julia have been in Nanyang City for more than three months, during which time Alberta sent a "loan" to Julia to buy a courtyard in Nanyang City, which is not very large, but closer to the central street.

And the most important thing is that it is very inconspicuous, and the place where Alberta bought this yard is to digest the things that came from the Silver Light City, and those materials about the elements of black magic, Alberta does not plan to keep them as collectibles or treasure bumps.

The best place to keep these research materials is his own head, and with the help of the magical items collected by the Aoki Rite, Alberta felt like he had touched the threshold of the Magus several times.

Alberta, who was overjoyed, seemed to be enchanted these days, meditating, practicing, and experimenting in his room day and night, and almost blew up the entire house several times due to his own mistakes.

After the patrol and his neighbors came to inquire many times, Alberta had to pay for another mercenary guild to hire an enchantment master to make two enchantments inside his house, one defensive one inside and one static enchantment outside.

This cost the old nose money, especially the crystals that maintain these two barriers, like a few vicious dogs eating gold coins, but for the sake of concealment, Alberta can only endure it.

Alberta really can't rest assured that the Aoki Sacrifice will give up, and if he is a Aoki Sacrifice, of course he will send someone to pursue it as soon as possible.

These gold coins are still from Julia Campbell, the only "rich woman" that Alberta relies on, and fortunately Julia has enough money to maintain Alberta as a "loser", otherwise these two would have drunk the northwest wind a long time ago.

In Julia's eyes, since Alberta lost her magical power to possess black magical power, her whole person seemed to have changed, and when she was in Vigrana City and the "Merlincius Howard" Academy of Magic, Julia dared to say that she knew Alberta best.

This guy won't get up until the sun burns himself on his buttocks, and the most basic common sense among magicians is that the five elements are most active in the whole world in the early morning, especially a quarter of an hour before sunrise.

Magicians with relatively normal brains will seize this moment to communicate, absorb, cultivate, etc., while Alberta's brain is obviously not normal enough, and it can be said that it has reached the point of no cure.

But for such a long time, Julia had seen Alberta meditate and practice hard with her, especially in the early morning, and most of them even got up earlier than herself, and by the time she got up to prepare, sweat had already oozing from Alberta's forehead.

Julia also has a certain understanding of Alberta being so serious, and in addition to these reasons, Alberta, who is serious in Julia's heart, seems to be more attracted to herself than ever.

"Miss Julia Campbell, what's going on here, go back to bed early, or you won't be able to get up again tomorrow." Julia, who was shopping around with joy, heard a lazy voice behind her, and the owner of the voice was the helpless Alberta Howard man.

It's okay not to say it! As soon as I say Julia, I'm very angry! Since this Alberta entered Nanyang City, the whole person has changed a lot in Julia's heart, and there is no change in normal times, as soon as she has time, she will carefully read the information, practice magic, and meditate and communicate.

But in the early morning, Alberta was basically out of sight, except for the fact that he had forcibly pulled him up in the past few days, Alberta had returned to the lazy days of not getting up in the sun, if it weren't for the usual hard work, Julia even thought that Alberta had returned to her "nature" for a while.

Julia stretched out her delicate right hand and opened it in front of Alberta's eyes, hinting at Alberta to return the money.

"How much is that, then!" said Poor Dick Elberta with great confidence.

"Count 1 silver coin!" Julia said with a triumphant expression, folded her arms, and walked forward again.

Seeing this, Alberta hurriedly chased after him, and said while chasing: "This is not good, I bought you a candy man yesterday on an errand, and you also set it for 1 gold coin, and you will count it as 1 silver coin for shopping with you this night?" Alberta has obviously become Julia's personal assistant to repay the huge amount of money he owes, but if he pays it back according to the silver coin, Alberta feels that he will not be free for the rest of his life.

"The Campbells!" said Julia, who was already at a distance from Alberta.

"No wonder they say that your family is a bunch of profiteers, and that's true. If there is such a father, there must be such a daughter!" Alberta muttered quietly, for fear that Julia would hear.

"If there is a father, there must be a daughter!hehe!" A series of silver bell-like laughter rang out on the left side of Alberta, which really startled Alberta.

It's not because the melodious voice is terrifying, but because Alberta is a thief, thinking that Julia heard the Campbell family behind her back.

Alberta instinctively turned to the left to check, and found that Qin Tianxin had walked to her side with two maids at some point.

"Julia, wait a minute, there are acquaintances here!" Alberta saw Julia who had gone away, and called Julia back in a loud voice.

"It turns out that he is a thief with a weak heart! Behind his back, such a beautiful girl is not the character that a gentleman should have!" Qin Tianxin pursed his lips and smiled.

At this time, Alberta discovered the anomaly following Qin Tianxin.

Xiaoru, Alberta knew each other, but the other little girl next to her didn't seem to be human in Alberta's feelings.

"This is an elf?" Alberta looked at Qingyang Lanruo and asked Qin Tianxin.

As soon as they finished asking, Qin Tianxin and Xiao Ru were surprised, but they didn't expect Alberta to see at a glance that Qingyang Lanruo was an elf, you must know that in order not to attract the attention of others, Qin Tianxin and Xiaoru were useless, and covered Qingyang Lanruo's pointed ears under her hair from the hairstyle, and also taught Qingyang Lanruo in terms of clothing and behavior.

In the past few days that Qingyang Lanruo has been here, basically no one has found out that she is an elf, and they all think that she is a maid adopted by Qin Tianxin, although Qingyang Lanruo is eccentric, sometimes causes trouble everywhere, and often runs out to play, but no one will think about anything, who made her the maid of the county lord, and basically everyone knows that Qin Tianxin is the maid who loves him the most.

"Ahh

The simple Qingyang Lanruo didn't think that she didn't pretend to be any when she met Li Xiangfeng, as long as she was a normal person who knew something about it, when she saw Qingyang Lanruo's pointed little ears, she would know that Qingyang Lanruo was an elf for the first time.
