Hearing this, Xia Fan immediately stood up and arched his hand towards Fang Xiandao, "Brother Fang, I have something important to do first, and I will come to fulfill the agreement when I am done." ”

"It's okay, you're busy. ”

After seeing the three of them away, Fang Xiandao always felt that something seemed wrong.

He pinched his fingers, but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.

What went wrong?

"Whew, Chichi is full. The little girl raised her head at this time and breathed a sigh of satisfaction, "Sure enough, it was the right choice to come to the young master." ”

Hmph, say it as if you have a choice. If the old lady hadn't stopped me, you wouldn't have been ordered to come and break my legs. Fang Xiandao threw her a handkerchief, "Wipe my mouth for me, the oil is rubbing on my nose." ”

"Oh. ”

"When you're full, go back. If it doesn't work, I'll start another hexagram later......"

"Isn't the guest officer eating?" Xiao Er saw him get up, and immediately greeted him with a smile, "I'll bring you the bill." ”

"What??" Fang Xiandao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized what the problem was.

Xia Fan, that guy left without checking out!

This meal was obviously invited by the other party to come out to eat, why did he forget it?!

......

"This demon was found on the seashore?" Xia Fan asked as he walked, "It can't be a mermaid with a smooth tail on the lower half of its body, right?"

"What the hell are you thinking in your head, can you see that half-man and half-fish, can it still have anything to do with beauty?" Li glanced at him in disgust, "This person obviously came by boat, and the fisherman who first found the demon reported that there was a strange boat docked on the beach. ”

"Where is this demon now?"

"I haven't seen it, but according to Wei Wushuang, the demon has been imprisoned in the dungeon of the Privy Council. ”

After listening to the fox demon's story, Xia Fan finally knew why she came to him in such a hurry.

After the battle of Dongsheng Kingdom, the school department is nowhere to be found, but the other two departments are still in the house. At that time, it was Wei Wushuang who stayed in the order department, and he was obviously inferior in both official position and rank, so when the fishermen came to the door, the news was reported to Xue Zhigen in the recording department by the doorman.

Fortunately, the doorman also kept an eye on it, and then notified Wei Wushuang separately, so that Li and Shanhui came to the door.

Obviously, the right to deal with this matter must be snatched over as soon as possible, otherwise the demon may be able to go directly into the ground one day.

Back in the mansion, Xia Fan rushed directly to the dungeon, but he didn't expect to bump into Xue Zhigen at the door.

"Why is Lord Xia acting in such a hurry? Could it be that he also heard the news of the demon?" said the recording department.

"Not bad. When it comes to this, he doesn't have any need to cover it up, "Since someone has caught the demon, the order department will naturally take over and deal with it, and I am just here to exercise my responsibility." ”

"It is worthy of Lord Xia, and I admire my conscientiousness. Xue Zhigeng's answer surprised Xia Fan, and he couldn't even tell whether the other party was sarcastic or boastful. "I have already imprisoned the demon, and Lord Xia can interrogate him at any time. ”

"In that case, let's do it now. ”

The two walked into the depths of the dungeon together, and in front of the cell at the end, Xia Fan saw the demon imprisoned by the iron rope.

"Uh......h Woo...... "Seeing someone coming, the demon began to struggle desperately. It's a pity that both hands and feet are locked on a wooden frame, and my mouth is blocked by linen, so I can't even make a sound.

"This demon is really strange, except for the ears and hair color, it is very similar to people everywhere else. Xue Zhigen said with a solemn expression, "Don't be fooled by her." ”

Xia Fan was silent on the surface, but he had already set off earth-shattering waves in his heart.

What did he see?

A goblin with pointed ears!

Or rather...... Genie.

It's no wonder he thinks so, it's all because the other party has all the characteristics of an elf, such as the long, gray wavy hair, emerald green eyes, and the trademark long ears that open to the sides.

She was about 1.5 or 6 meters tall, and her clothes were a thin linen coat, and she had no shoes on her feet, so she could only stand on the ground by holding her toes when she was locked. In just a few moments, her legs were already trembling slightly, and her ten delicate toes had lost their blood.

In addition, he noticed that there were obvious blood marks on the other party's wrists and ankles, as if he had worn some ornaments but had been forcibly removed.

In a cautious attitude, Xia Fan did not say his guess, "Lord Xue, can you take off the cloth?"

"It's okay to take it off, but the other party is a demon after all, so if you cast a natural spell, ......"

"You and I are both engaged in the Privy Council, how can there be any reason to be afraid of a demon. ”

"Lord Xia is right. Xue Zhigen coughed twice and called the jailer, "Give me the gag cloth." ”

The moment the cloth was removed, Xia Fan heard a long list of incomprehensible words, and although the pronunciation and intonation were familiar, he was completely unable to discern the meaning of these words.

For the first time, he realized that he had encountered a communication barrier.

The language spoken by this person is completely different from that of the six countries on the mainland.

Xia Fan could only intuitively feel that the other party was indignant, uncomfortable, anxious, and ...... Grievance.

The woman began to choke as she spoke, and finally burst into tears.

"Untie the chains, don't hang people. Xia Fan rubbed the corners of his forehead.

"But she's a demon—"

"Any old lady on the street with a cane is more threatening than her, isn't there a cage?" he looked at the jailer, "besides, what was on her when she was brought in, and I hope it will be on her when she comes, do you understand?"

"Small, small understood. The jailer hurriedly bowed.

"Lord Xue, take a step to speak?" Then Xia Fan tilted his head towards Xue Zhi even more.

"Please. ”

The two walked to a corner, Xia Fan cleared his throat and took the lead in speaking, "This demon ...... Unusual. If I'm not mistaken, she is from overseas and speaks the same language. ”

"I agree. Xue Zhigen nodded.

"As far as I know, some overseas countries do not regard demons as a scourge, and if they are dealt with hastily, they may lead to diplomatic problems. I need to bring her back to the lodge and let Her Highness decide - the royal family always has a more accurate eye on foreign affairs. ”

"It's Isha-sama's. ”

Xia Fan was stunned, that's it, he obviously prepared a bunch of rhetoric, everything from salutes to soldiers, but he didn't expect that all of them would come in handy.

When did the recording department become so good at talking?

"I understand Lord Xia's thoughts," Xue Zhi said more seriously, "Demon, if you put aside those obvious deformities, it will not be a fresh experience. What's more, this demon doesn't even have miscellaneous hair, so it can be regarded as the best of the demons. But you still have to be careful not to let her hurt...... Cough...... Hurt Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Xia Fan twitched the corners of his mouth, what kind of top-level understanding is this?

"Also...... Lord Xia, we did have some unpleasantness before, but it was all a misunderstanding. Xue Zhigen continued, "It's mainly Lord Wen who is targeting you, I was forced to do it as a last resort." Ay...... Now that he's gone, I'm going to say it, I hope you don't mind. ”
