Sedona left the Quman Mountains with the 29th Sergeant and trekked towards the original assembly point, while Qiao Dingtong took Qiao Xiaodao and Xiaoshun back to Phosphorus Fire Town, preparing to take a short rest and return to the Quman Mountains the next day to investigate.

When Qiao Dingtong and the three of them had just entered the town, their whereabouts were seen by the people in the town, and then the news began to pass, and finally they were brought into the town lord's pavilion by an inconspicuous townsman.

"You're saying that the team sent by the High Town City only came back this time, and two of them hadn't been seen before, and one of them was a child?"

In response to Shibasaki Saburo's inquiry, the townspeople gave an affirmative answer.

After waving his hand to get the townsfolk to stand down, Shibasaki Saburo lay back in the wooden chair, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, and his expression extremely puzzled.

"It's been almost a week, and they should have given up, but why do they still have to insist? And the two new people, what is the origin?"

Thinking of this, he seemed a little anxious, hesitated for a moment, got up and walked to one of the walls of the room, and reached out and pressed it somewhere on it.

A slight tremor appeared in the wall, and then a small hole the size of a human head was seen in the wall, and a small bowl stood inside, and the bowl was filled with clear water, and under the clear water, a large number of white crystals the size of sesame seeds were piled up.

Shibasaki Saburo picked up a crystal from the bowl, then placed it in the palm of his hand, opened his mouth and spit out, and a stream of white vitality suddenly sprayed from his mouth to the palm of his hand, and then was quickly absorbed by the white crystal.

I saw that after the white crystal absorbed the vitality, it actually changed, and its volume increased rapidly, and when it increased to half the size of a palm, it burst with a pop, and dispersed into a puff of white smoke, which disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye.

After doing all this, Shibasaki Saburo let out a soft breath, reached out and pressed it again, and the cracked hole was reduced to a smooth wall, and there was no abnormality in the slightest.

"Now we can only wait for the adult to make a decision, and the adult should appear when the time comes!"

Shaking his head, Shibasaki Saburo no longer dwelled on the affairs of Qiao Xiaodao and the others, but returned to the table and began to sort out other affairs in the town.

In the blink of an eye, the three red suns in the sky of the Xuanwu Domain set on the mountain, and the time began to approach the hour.

Shibasaki Saburo stopped processing the affairs of the town and sat on the wooden chair, looking faintly nervous, as if waiting for something.

A quarter of an hour.

Half an hour.

An hour.

Until the time was approaching, Shibasaki Saburo still didn't wait for what he was waiting for, and his face was different from the faint nervousness before, and it had turned into a dazed and frightened look.

"What's going on, why hasn't it appeared yet, is it...... Are you going to abandon Phosphorus Fire Town?"

When this thought came to his mind, his forehead was instantly covered with fine beads of sweat, and his throat swallowed unconsciously and quickly, as if he thought of some terrifying scene.

"No, no, the adults must not have heard, I, I'll use another one!"

He got up in a panic and ran to the wall again and slapped it hard, and the hole immediately appeared, revealing the small bowl inside.

Just as he was about to reach for the white crystal, a voice suddenly came from behind him, causing his body to freeze suddenly.

"What is this?"

Swallowing his saliva, Shibasaki Saburo quickly turned, reaching out to close the hole, but the metal carvings that adorned the wall writhed as if they had come to life, whizzing around his wrists.

Damn, it's a minister-level ability!

Looking at the people who came, Shibasaki Saburo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, because what appeared in front of him was Qiao Xiaodao, who had come to explore the Quman Mountain Range, and the two people who suddenly appeared in the information he had received today.

Xiaoshun, Qiao Dingtong!

The one who spoke, who had already used his vitality to imprison Shibasaki Saburo, was Qiao Dingtong, he looked at the other party's frightened eyes, and asked again: "What is in that bowl?"

Saburo Shibasaki's mouth trembled.

Although he is the town lord of a third-level town, Shibasaki Saburo's cultivation is really not high, only the middle of the minister's level, which naturally has a reason for the relationship, and it is also because Phosphorus Fire Town has not been attacked by brute beasts for a long time, so the cultivation requirements for the town lord are not strict.

Now that Qiao Ding has appeared in unison, he has revealed the cultivation of the minister-level high-level in his hand, and Shibasaki Saburo, who is timid by nature, suddenly showed timidity.

Seeing that the eyebrows of the person in front of him who was wrapped in silver and covered his face with a mask gradually wrinkled, Shibasaki Saburo didn't know where the courage came out of his heart, and suddenly shouted: "You, who are you?

The voice is extremely high-pitched, and it plays a high note that Saburo Shibasaki usually can't imagine.

He thought that this shouting would attract the guards outside, but there was a deathly silence in the room, and then he saw the strange eyes of the three people opposite.

"Lord Shibasaki, you must have not been on the battlefield for a long time, right?

"Sound insulation, sound insulation?"

Shibasaki Saburo's eyes widened, his perception swept out, and sure enough, he sprayed a layer of forbidden energy, and his heart suddenly chuckled.

Qiao Xiaodao took a step forward: "Lord Shibasaki, this is also an envoy who came to carry out a secret mission, it is better for the town lord to answer his question honestly, otherwise it will ......"

Before the long tone was finished, Saburo Shibasaki suddenly closed his eyes and shouted, "I said, I said!

Qiao Dingtong raised his eyebrows slightly.

How simple is it?

Shibasaki Saburo's timidity was somewhat unexpected by the trio, but it was a good thing for them.

"Let's talk about what's in that bowl first. ”

Shibasaki Saburo swallowed another mouthful of saliva, and then said, "This, this thing is called the Tieyi Crystal, and it is used to contact that adult." ”

"Who are you talking about?"

"I, I don't know. ”

"What?" Qiao Dingtong and the three of them frowned: "You said you don't know?"

Shibasaki Saburo shuddered and explained again and again: "I, I really don't know, every time I contact, I can only hear the voice of that adult, and I can't see his person at all!"

"Only sound can be heard......"

The news he heard from Shibasaki Saburo was a little weird, but Qiao Dingtong thought about it, and then asked, "The adult you said, what does he ask you to do?"

"Qu, Qu Man! He wants us to report information on all those who wish to set foot in the Qu Man Mountains!"

And so it was!

Qiao Xiaodao was about to say something, but Qiao Dingtong waved his hand to stop him, and then frowned and asked, "You just said, 'We', who else is reporting the news to that person besides you?"

"The town lords of Phosphorus Fire Town for generations are all reporting the news!"

This sentence made the three of them look at each other.

Phosphorus Fire Town has existed for nearly a hundred years, and the town lord has been renewed seven times, according to Shibasaki Saburo, that mysterious 'adult' actually started the information blockade of the Quman Mountains nearly a hundred years ago?

"Why?"

Qiao Xiaodao opened his mouth, and there was some anger in his words, after all, ninety percent of the reasons for the failure of the week-long investigation were probably related to Shibasaki Saburo's ventilation message, which made him angry.

"Say, why are you telling the secret of the empire to someone who doesn't even know their identity!"

Shibasaki Saburo cried with a sad face, and when he wanted to hesitate, he was glared at by Qiao Xiaodao and immediately confided the truth: "Yes, it's an agreement." ”

"Agreements?"

"Yes, since the founding of the town of Phosphorus Fire, the first lord of the town has signed an agreement with the lord to provide information on anyone who has expressed a desire to explore the Quman Mountains, and in exchange for the ...... Protection!"

"Protection?

"Protect Phosphorus Fire Town from brute beasts!"

As soon as the words came out, Qiao Dingtong and the three of them were shocked in their hearts.

"What nonsense are you talking about?Isn't the safety of Phosphorus Fire Town for nearly a hundred years due to the special topography of the Quman Mountain Range?, how could it be human?" Qiao Xiaodao immediately asked in disbelief.

However, Shibasaki Saburo shook his head helplessly.

"Captain Qiao, the problem you mentioned is the same as before I sat in the position of the town lord of Phosphorus Fire Town, but after the previous town lord stepped down, I realized that the stability of Phosphorus Fire Town over the past hundred years is actually not geographical, but artificial!"

After a pause, Shibasaki Saburo's expression became a little more normal, and he continued: "When Phosphorus Fire Town was first built, that adult found a generation of town lords and proposed this deal, and it is precisely because of this transaction that no brute beast can cross the Qu Man Mountain Range for a hundred years, and even the brute beasts that invade from other gaps will not come to harass Phosphorus Fire Town, but in fact, a hundred years ago, there were actually many brute beasts living in the Qu Man Mountain Range, and the number was even more than other places!"

The voice was not loud, but it was a shocking secret.

Qiao Dingtong's face was covered by a mask, and he couldn't see his expression, but his eyes were uncertain.

"Since you've contacted that person, why hasn't he shown up yet?"

When Shibasaki Saburo heard this, he suddenly realized that he had been monitored by them as early as the afternoon, and he was even more afraid of Qiao Dingtong's cultivation in his heart.

"That lord should have appeared an hour ago, but he never appeared, he should have ...... I should be aware of your presence. ”

Qiao Dingtong's eyes narrowed.

Being able to easily perceive them who are hidden, but not being noticed by them, the cultivation of this mysterious person is at least above the secretary level.

"What about the others? What else do you know about that person?"

Shibasaki Saburo shook his head quickly: "No, that adult is so mysterious, I haven't seen anything except his voice." ”

"What about the Quman Mountains?"

"I don't know, I'm just abiding by the agreement and promising not to miss the people who went to explore the mountains, and as for the situation in the mountains, I have never spied on them. ”

Shibasaki Saburo's questions made Qiao Xiaodao very annoyed, and he wanted to do it when he took a step forward, but in the end he was stopped by Qiao Dingtong.

Qiao Dingtong walked to the wall, reached into the hole, and took out the small bowl.

"With this thing, you can contact the person behind you?"

Saburo Shibasaki nodded repeatedly.

"In that case, tell me how to use it!"
