Volume 1: Walking on the Brink of Destruction and Deliverance Chapter 11: The Eve
After a three-day long journey, Yu Dongshui finally came to the city gate of the city of Hezhente.
It is also within the boundaries of Roqueshire, but the conditions of Biktor City are still much better, and it can already be called a city.
But compared to Rockshire City, there is still a bit of a gap. However, important organizations such as the Monster Bureau have set up branch venues here.
But the most important reason why Yu Dongshui came here was because this city was where he and his fiancΓ©e settled.
Now he is suspected of being the target of the Monster Bureau's pursuit, and he has also heard that Li Xuan, the director of the Monster Bureau, went to Ketuo County that day, and rushed back to Roque County after investigating the inn where he had stayed for a few days.
This is Yu Dongshui drinking at a post station on the road, and the people from Keto set it up.
Yu Dongshui is panicking now, and plans to come back and explain some things to her before they enter the state, and then hide to see the rumors, if it has nothing to do with him, then it would be best;
If he really planned to arrest him as the reincarnation of a great magician, he was going to find an opportunity to take her to escape to the West, and he heard that the power of the Demon Hunting Association over there was not as strong as here.
Yu Dongshui thought so and walked towards the city gate. But he quickly stopped again, and felt that it seemed a bit reckless to walk in directly.
So after taking it seriously and changing his identity documents, he went to the city gate to be checked with confidence.
In normal times, the few soldiers guarding the door are either loyal admirers of the Magic King or Yu Dongshui's good buddies, and they are generally released directly without inspection.
But Yu Dongshui also knew that their inspection was just to ask the name to see if it was a beauty, and if so, then ask further about the address, age or something.
I heard that this is how several people found their wives.
But this time, they changed their previous loose attitude, investigated the passers-by, and even pulled their faces at some people who were overwhelmed and looked suspicious.
It is clear that they received orders. And the object of the order to be interrogated is already ninety percent sure that it is the magic king who is good at disguise and deception.
I didn't expect the people from the Monster Bureau to move so quickly, so how is she now? Won't she be taken away by the people of the Monster Bureau?
Even though Yu Dongshui was anxious, he didn't show his anxiety on his expression, and quietly followed the team.
Finally, I went to Yu Dongshui to be examined.
When answering some basic information, Yu Dongshui always looked calm.
The soldier in front of him, named Yuan De, was a relatively calm veteran.
In front of other soldiers, he is the image of a big brother, but because he doesn't like to cater to his superiors, he is still a small role at the level of a captain in his thirties.
The relationship with Yu Dongshui is naturally very good, after all, Yu Dongshui has been very respectful to the soldiers from the beginning, and a large part of the money donated is used to improve the living environment of the soldiers stationed in the city, and he also goes to them from time to time to do a magic show, which raises the relationship to a certain height.
Knowing Yuan De's character, Yu Dongshui did not reveal his identity, but responded with the fake documents and information he had prepared before.
Until the end, Yuan De didn't seem to see anything, and just said casually: "Do you know Yu Dongshui?"
"Yu Dongshui, who is that?"
Yu Dongshui pretended to be puzzled.
"Oh, nothing, just an acquaintance of mine. β
Yuan De said, and gave Yu Dongshui a certification card: "This is the temporary identity card of the martyr, and it needs to be returned when you leave the city." The validity period is one month. β
"Temporary ID tags, why do you have this?"
When he said this, Yu Dongshui realized that he had exposed his stuff.
But Yuan De just glanced at Yu Dongshui and said:
"I've been here before, haven't you? This thing was just asked for yesterday, and it's not anything special, don't lose it. In addition, there are also public security management regulations of Hezhente, take it out and take a look at it yourself, don't be arrested and say we didn't tell you. β
Yu Dongshui felt something, but before he could think about it, Yuan De urged him to leave quickly, not to hinder the later entry into the city.
deliberately slowed down, and when others were not paying attention, he hid in a corner of the blind spot and eavesdropped on Yuan De's conversation with the people behind him.
After a while, he finally waited for this conversation:
"Why did you give the guy in front of you a sign and I didn't?"
I only heard Yuan De explain in an apologetic voice: "Oh, that's my acquaintance, and he was given the brand for some personal reasons, not everyone has it." β
Yu Dongshui almost understood in his heart, he flashed out of the city gate and walked on the familiar street.
Turn into a deserted alley and study the card.
Except for the name "Hemartyrt" printed on it, there is basically nothing special about this iron brand.
But soon, Yu Dongshui found a switch and took out a roll of paper with words written on it.
It reads:
"Master Yu, don't think that your clumsy trick can fool our brothers! Not to mention lying. β
"By the way, what did you do a few days ago? You provoked an official who even our city lord was afraid of, and asked us to arrest you at the city gate! But don't worry, we didn't say anything about you, and their group of guys still don't know where your house is! Of course, my brother and daughter-in-law are fine! But we can only help you get here, don't stay in the city, leave as soon as you are done, every day there are gendarmes going from house to house to check people, patrolling the streets!"
"Take care, foolish brother, Yuan De. (It seems that Lao Tzu's letter was sent, and a few of them lost my wine money!Remember to come back and drink after the limelight is over!)"
Yu Dongshui smiled and put away the note: "These guys, aren't you afraid of being implicated by me?
In the following time, he did not go home immediately, but walked around the city.
After making sure that no one was following him, he blended into the crowd and moved towards his home.
In the evening, the Viscount of Hefritain.
In the main hall, Li Xuan, director of the Monsters Bureau, sat on the highest seat;
Under him were Viscount Hevrett and the head of the local sub-bureau;
A middle-aged man sat alone at a distance, not participating in the discussion of the three men.
The middle-aged man is the support of the Demon Hunter Association, and I heard that the most elite demon hunter came from the capital of Begret, Iaur (Green), called Gong Changhong.
While the three of them were discussing the possibility of Yu Dongshui coming to Hezhente and the specific plan for how to arrest him, the report handed over by the guards made Li Xuan's face smile: "Everyone, the target has appeared. β
"Where?" asked Viscount Herrent.
"In his home, of course. Li Xuan smiled.
In fact, in the archives about Dongshui, both the basic personal information and the home address are very complete.
The reason why I deliberately asked the gatekeepers who had a good relationship with Yu Dongshui was because I wanted them, who were most likely to have a chance to communicate with Yu Dongshui, to sell Yu Dongshui a false information that 'the Monster Bureau and others don't know where your home is'.
In order to induce Yu Dongshui to make concerns, he returned to his home, which had long been monitored by the Monster Bureau, and caught turtles in an urn.
As for Yu Dongshui's identity, there is still no conclusion.
"Lord Gong, is Yu Dongshui really a member of the Demon Clan? The information shows that he is just a native of the Martyrs, is there something wrong?"
"Lord Viscount, I can't give a definite answer to the identity of this person. The conjecture of the demon race is only the most likely. β
After hearing that Yu Dongshui's traces were obtained, Gong Changhong got up and came to the three of them: "All the answers will be revealed tonight." β
"Well, once you catch him, any problem can be solved. β
Fei Hongyundao, director of the sub-bureau.
"Can the Monster Bureau's assistance be arranged?"
Li Xuan asked Fei Hongyun.
"All the actors were ready to finish yesterday, waiting for orders at any time. β
The viscount then said: "A hundred elite soldiers in the city are also ready to block all the key crossings at any time. β
The soldiers in the city were responsible for blocking the main road to prevent Yu Dongshui from escaping;
The members of the Monster Bureau are responsible for assisting in the capture of Yu Dongshui with unknown abilities, and carrying supply and combat assistance weapons to force Dongshui into the encirclement;
And the main task of arresting naturally falls on the demon hunters of the Demon Hunting Association.
Such a battle plan was formulated on the night Gong Changhong came.
"My demon hunters are also in the circle, and if they see a target, they can start to capture them. β
The reason why it is not directly arrested in Dongshui's house is that the target's magic may be attack magic, which will damage the surrounding buildings and cause casualties among ordinary people, but the evacuation of the people may be seen by Yu Dongshui, resulting in the inability to lock the target;
Second, Yu Dongshui's fiancΓ©e should be an outsider, and in order to prevent Yu Dongshui from being injured or even taken hostage during the arrest operation, Dongshui must be led outside the house. But it takes time to prepare, and taking her away will have the same effect as the first one.
The stakes were so high that there was no wanted notice for Dongshui in the city.
However, in order to prevent Yu Dongshui from passing through the checkpoints of various cities unimpeded after the arrest failed, they had already printed the relevant wanted notices and issued them to cities within Roqueshire, and asked them to be posted the day after tomorrow.
It can be said that everything is ready, and if nothing happens, Yu Dongshui will not be able to escape no matter what.
But there was one more thing they had to care about.
If the judgment of the Demon Hunting Association is accurate, Yu Dongshui must still have a response near here.
Rockshire's seaside is one of the world's most important cities for transportation, shipping and trading.
However, the reason why the title system is adopted here instead of the centralized local government system practiced in most parts of the Begret Empire is related to its neighbor, the Water Mountain Range that connects the Begret Empire with the Harmen Kingdom, one of the alliances of the Reiss, and the legendary final place of the demons, the Demon Mountains.
In order to resist a possible demon invasion, it is absolutely impossible to quickly build up the effective forces of the city, and to concentrate all the military power in the local government of the county.
This is also the reason why Viscount Hethret was able to mobilize the forces in the city.
Officials with the title of knight have priority over the deployment of local rulers, and can quickly enter a state of combat readiness and raise troops in case they are unprepared.
As mentioned earlier, Roqueshire is not so much bordered by the Kingdom of Harmen as it is by the Demonic Mountains.
Because of the various terrifying legends in the Demon Mountain Range, people firmly believe that there are still a few demons entrenched in the mountain range, eyeing the human world outside.
Therefore, Halmen, on the other hand, would hardly venture into the Demonic Mountains to launch a land offensive against Begret. At most, he has stepped into the territory of Begaret in the assistance of the Allied Empire, the Karokaimen Empire.
Back to this operation. If Yu Dongshui was really a member of the Origin Demon Clan, appearing so close to the Demon Mountain Range did make it difficult for human forces, including the Demon Hunting Association, not to associate with him.
Although it is also considered that Yu Dongshui is going to defect to the demon clan in the mountain range, or the possibility of an abandoned son, everything must be prepared for the worst.
If there is a response from within the demon race, then Yu Dongshui's action this time may be to lure the elite of these human beings to dispatch and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
If they act rashly, it does not mean that Dongshui has entered the encirclement, and they may be counter-encircled.
In order to avoid this from happening, the Demon Hunter Association sent several top demon hunters, including Gong Changhong, to come here to support.
It's like gambling, betting on how much both parties put in. If they invest too much, they can wipe out all the internal deservings;
If the other party invests too much, the combat power of the human race will be immeasurably hit, and it will even become an opportunity for a big war!
But no one seemed to have thought that Yu Dongshui himself was confused until now.
