Section XXXVIII

"Hey, what are you doing, do you know what this place is?" a soldier kept the four Louis out of the city guard's office.

"Isn't this the city guard's yamen?

Didn't you just say that if you have information, you will go to the city to guard the yamen, and there will be a bonus to be gained?" Louis pretended to be stupid.

"Don't report it quickly, or let the bandits escape, and you will be responsible. Louis saw that the other party didn't believe it, and immediately shouted.

"Okay, I'll go, please come in and talk. One soldier went to report, and another soldier welcomed the four inside.

"Whoever said that there is information about thieves, if it is still false, I will break your legs. After waiting for a long time, a middle-aged man with a big belly finally walked out.

"May I ask who you are?

My information is very important, I'm afraid!" Louis continued to fool, Louis didn't know any thief information, Louis just wanted to find those two big people.

"I can't hear anything, I'm the senior advisor to the city guard. As soon as the big-bellied advisor heard what the other party meant, he was not qualified, and immediately said angrily.

"Orc Alliance!"

"Okay! I'll go find the castle guard. As soon as the other party heard that people from other countries had joined the robbery, he immediately knew the severity of the matter, and for the sake of his life, this matter was still not reconciled.

"Lord Castle Keeper, someone has come to report that this matter may have something to do with the Orc Empire. As soon as he entered the inner hall, the big-bellied advisor hurriedly muttered in the ear of the city guard.

"What?" Receiving the advisor's affirmative look, the castle guard knew that things were not easy, but the castle keeper thought about it and smiled.

"There is no end to it, and if these things are lost with me, there will be a scapegoat on them, and I am afraid that I will be in trouble.

Now God has sent a big lamb so that I can completely blame the orcs, haha!

No, how can there be only orcs? It should be an alliance of orcs (orcs and magicians) and magicians (magic empires), spies sent to destroy the peace of mankind.

These two representatives are not too few, and should there be a few more countries. "The castle guard thinks for a while, and talks to himself for a while.

"By the way, you should now go and tell the two lords, Sù Babur and Rommel, that there is important information, and let them go to the messenger. ”

"Come back! I'm not done yet?" the castle guard shouted when he saw that his men had run out of the house.

"The most important thing is to tell them that I am seriously ill, and I can only rely on two adults, remember to say that I have tears and appearance.

Don't go yet!"

"Little baby, my black yarn hat has been saved, you are really my kind heart, I will definitely love you well. The castle keeper smiled and walked into the inner room.

"It's you!" As soon as the four Louis were invited into a secret room, the pot-bellied advisor left, leaving only the two sides to talk.

"It's not me!Who else could it be?, Babur, you're so old!" Louis became excited when he saw his old friend, whom he hadn't seen in years.

"You're really Luis, you can't think you've been running for five years, but how do you look young. Babur got excited as he approached the young companion, who was actually three years older than himself, but who looked like he was more than a decade older.

"Hehe! Away from the center of power, live more chic, and have a good heart, people will be younger. Louis told the secret of his youth.

"Alas, you can just walk away, but I can't. Babur sighed.

"Alas, you've worked hard all these years. "Louis knew about Babur's situation, and the internal contradictions of the empire had become more and more serious over the years, and now they have almost developed to the point of being out of control.

The power of the big imperial family is too strong, and the royal family is compressed in the center and cannot move, and the position may be replaced by other nobles at any time.

The two main forces loyal to the royal family are the Judiciary and the Desert Knights, and Babur is the second authority of the Judiciary and the deputy head of the Knights.

But he was almost in name only, and Babur did almost everything, for the Minister of Justice and Justice, though loyal enough, was clearly not wise enough to conquer all.

Only this young companion in front of him has the strength and prestige to conquer the group of people below, if it weren't for his young age, he would have become the director of the Justice Administration, but that was the reason for the ten-year period, and now as long as he wants, he is the number one person in the Law Administration.

"By the way, didn't you escort Her Royal Highness the princess to study in the Aegis Empire?

Why didn't you come back without notifying, by the way, where is Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Babur seemed to realize that something was wrong.

Louis gave a hint with his eyes.

"Uncle Babur! I'm Yana. Maybe it was Babur's bad eyes, but in the end it was Yana who took the initiative to lift the veil.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess!" the young old man immediately saluted at the sight of the princess.

"No, Uncle Babur, I'm not going to show myself as a princess this time, so I'm asking Uncle Babur to keep it a secret for us. At the same time, Yana hinted to Rommel, who was standing aside and preparing to give a salute, not to be too polite.

For this general of the military, it can be said that it is a completely neutral force.

It is also the four major legions of the empire, guarding the four borders of the empire, even if you want to, you can't manage the power center of the empire, so the best way is to be neutral, and Rommel is the only legion that leans towards the royal family in neutrality, so Yana also has to pay respect.

"Your Highness Princess, has something happened to you?" Seeing just a few people, Babur also realized something.

"Babur! That's one of the reasons we're looking for you.

I want to know what's going on in the Empire lately, and why are we being attacked?" Louis said directly.

"What? You've been attacked, it must be Bato's forces.

In recent years, Barto's strength has become more and more rampant, and he doesn't even care about the royal face.

Three years ago, it was their forces that instigated it, and if it hadn't happened, I am afraid that the war would have broken out long ago, but recently they have been active again. Babur spoke his guess.

Fez can probably guess a little bit about what Babur said, probably the big explosion caused by himself!

"Do they have to start a war?" said Louis, a little excited.

"Alas, there is no way, the empire can't control those nobles anymore.

If you don't expand outward, then there will only be a civil war, so although the imperial family tries its best to dissuade it, it also knows that it can't be violated, and you can only strengthen your own strength. ”

"Uncle Babur, another reason why we came here this time is because of the disaster victims and relief materials. Although Yana cares about these sensitive things, this is already a well-known thing in the upper class, and it is not something that can be settled by saying a few words at all, so Yana changed the topic at the right time.

"Yes, Your Highness the Princess.

In fact, this incident happened three months ago, when the grain had just been planted, but I don't know why, in the last 50 years, several counties that have been very smooth in the past 50 years, there has been the largest drought in 300 years, and even the assistance of the magician group is a drop in the bucket, and finally it broke out into such a disaster.

And the royal appropriation was granted three times, but for unknown reasons, no matter how much, the last relief materials were missing, and the people who inquired about this matter were either killed or found nothing.

So now it's up to me to escort this batch of supplies, but I didn't expect that there was still a problem. When Babur saw Princess Yana look at Rommel, he immediately knew what Princess Yana wanted to ask.

"And General Rommel, at the same time, also wants to buy a batch of supplies, so that we can go on the road together, but I didn't expect that in the end, General Rommel also lost this batch of supplies. Babur told the truth half-truthfully.

"Uncle Babur, can we go and see where this batch of supplies was placed yesterday?" Yana asked curiously, in fact, Fez was more concerned about this matter.

"Okay! I'll take you there.

However, we have already checked there, and there is not even a trace of ventilation except for the gate, so it can be said that it is a secret room, as long as we guard the door, we can master a qiē.

But in the end.

Alas, I also asked, and the soldiers who were guarding this batch of supplies did not have anything unusual happening at all. Walking to the chamber, Babur also briefly explained the matter.

Everyone walked into this secret room of almost 100 square meters, which is about three or four meters high, with a circular design.

Fez walked around and found nothing, "May I ask, where did I put this batch of supplies?"

Babur glanced at Yana, curious about Fez's identity, "Uncle Babur, this is my partner, he is a powerful magician, tell him that there is nothing wrong." ”

"Well, Your Highness Princess, he is the Tenth Captain who guarded this place yesterday, you can come and introduce me. Rommel heard that Fez was a magician, and although he didn't look very old, there were always miracles that happened to magicians, and maybe there was hope.

"Yes, sir. A soldier in iron armor walked in, but looking at his tired eyes, he knew that he hadn't rested for a long time.

The soldier marked the approximate location of the supplies with lime, just in the middle of the chamber.

Fez took a closer look at his surroundings and found nothing.

"Can you get me some firewood?"

In response to Fez's unusual request, the captain glanced at General Rommel, who affirmed it, and a few minutes later a pile of firewood was placed in the four corner areas as Fez's request.

"You can go out for a while!" At Fez's unusual request, everyone did not understand what Fez's meant, but after a while everyone hurriedly ran out, because Fez's actually lit these firewoods, although the burning ash was not large, but in this secret room, it also seemed very robust.

In the end, only Fez and Yana stayed, because Yana saw that Fez was surrounded by a transparent water balloon, so she immediately squeezed in, and this water ball was just enough to accommodate two people, so Altai, who wanted to stay, could only walk out.

"Princess Yana!

Help me see where the smoke is not flowing in the right direction, I suspect this is not a simple secret room. From the moment Fez walked in, he found that there was no suffocation in other secret rooms, and it was a little damp, so Fez made these extraordinary moves.

The two took a closer look at their surroundings back to back.

"Aren't you surprised, Fez?"

"Why be surprised?"

"Because I'm a princess!"

"Oh!"

"Nothing else?"

“............”

In fact, for the royal family, Fez does not have a deep impact.

Even in the Magic Empire, the royal family only appears when medals are issued and at various celebrations, and other times it is as if it has disappeared.

Now Fez knows that the biggest center of power in the Magic Empire is the Magical Elders, which has been the case since the establishment of the Empire, but it is the complete opposite of the Russ Empire, so he has no cold expression towards Royal Fez.

"Well, that's fine, you see that Als used to have a good relationship with me, but now he doesn't have the same feeling as before, in fact, I want to go back to the past. Yana said with emotion.

"Well, I'll always be your friend. Fez's can only make such a declaration.

"So, don't you have the urge to protect me, it's not good to be my guardian?" Yana turned things around again.

"Then I'll be like Altai, do you want to either?"

"Can't you just keep the way you are and watch over me?"

"What a terrible thing people say!"

"Look! There's something wrong with the air flow in Fez, as if the wind is coming out of the ground. "Yana's observation is more careful than Fez's, that is, a little movement of air is detected.

"Yes, yes, go on. Fez said encouragingly, marking and plugging the vent with magic.

With Yana's help, Fez was able to find four vents.

"What does these holes have to do with this?" Finding the vents, Fez had the flames extinguished and the scene cleaned up, but looking at the fist-sized vents sealed with iron lids, Bable asked curiously.

"I don't know, I'll have to take a closer look. Fez, ignoring the big man, took a brush and a small shovel and carefully cleared a vent.

"These vents have all been passive recently!" said the four vents that Fez had cleared, seeing that they had clearly been passive recently.

"Get the warehouse manager. Babur immediately understood what Fez meant.

"In my understanding, the only thing that can commit crimes in the secret room is the teleportation array.

However, I didn't find any magic fluctuations here, so I can basically determine the possibility of magic.

I want to find a blueprint for this chamber?" Fez, asked faintly.

"No need!

This secret room was designed to be kept secret, so there were no plans at all, and it was reinforced by magic around it, so it was impossible for anyone to enter through the tunnel. Suddenly, a lewd-looking little old man walked in and said sarcastically.

"Are you?" Babur ???

"I'm the storekeeper of this secret room, and I've always been in charge of this secret room. ”

"Excuse me, have these vents been used lately?" Fez, who didn't want to pursue anything, just wanted to know his answer.

"Uh-huh!

A few days ago, it seemed to be cleaning the secret room.

I don't know if it's been here or not. The other party hesitated and said.

"This is a vent, so there is a need to open the vent for cleaning?" the soldier commander heard wrong.

"Who told you it's a vent? It's a drain hole?" retorted.

"This is a desert and a secret room, so what kind of water is there for you to excrete?" the soldier commander seemed to be facing the other party.

This batch of supplies was lost under his own guard, and in order to find clues, it can be said that the soldier chief did not want to let go of any clues.

"Aren't we going to sprinkle water when we clean?" the warehouse manager immediately retorted.

"Excuse me, where does this drain hole lead?" Although Fez couldn't hear the warehouse manager's words, Fez didn't want to listen to the nonsense of the two here.

"How do I know, I'm just a warehouse manager!" the other party seemed to be angry.

"Okay, can I open this drain hole then?" said Fez.

"Whatever you want, just remember to cover it when you run out. "The warehouse manager doesn't care about things here.

And everyone knew that they couldn't ask anything from him, so they could only let him leave freely, and as for being suspicious, it was not Fez's business.

"Watch my body for me, don't touch me, Yana!" Fez said inexplicably, and a ball of fireball immediately entered the vent.

After more than ten meters of drilling, the passage suddenly became larger, although it was not yet possible to pass through guò alone, but it was already the size of a face disk, and the passage of the magic fireball of the Fez-controlled zhì was also very simple.

After passing through more than ten meters, the passage suddenly became "huge", which could fully accommodate an adult to pass, Fez checked around, and did not find any exit, nor did he find any clues.

"How's it going? Fez, what's the discovery? Yana asked curiously when she saw that Fez had woken up.

"No, I'll have to go down and check it out for myself.

But Yana, can you help me ask why you dug this drainage hole in the first place?

There seems to be something wrong with the following, but I can't say what it is. Fez decided to dig up the ground and search for it.

"Okay!" For these things, Yana didn't need to do it herself, it was just a matter of words, so she simply agreed.

"Fez, you seem to be very familiar with these things, why?" Yana was a little curious about how much Fez knew.

"Hehe! Just read a few more novels. "Fez's favorite novels used to be geography, ready to travel the world in the future, then magic, to protect himself and the people around him, and then detective novels, just hobbies, I didn't think I could use them now.
