Chapter 105: Inhuman

Of course, the head of the hall is not an ordinary person, as the head of the city, he is half a level higher than the other two ministers, and he is already qualified to be called a quasi-noble. As long as it goes one step further, it will be Sakaitomi, a genuine merit.

But from the point of view of physical function, the head of the army is just an ordinary person, and among the three ministers, except for the governor who is a transferred officer in the legion, and has obvious advantages in physical fitness, the other two may be more ordinary than ordinary people.

However, looking at the girl's expression, three points of solemnity and seven points of fear, the ordinary people in her mouth may have something else.

"You mean, he's not human?"

The girl nodded heavily.

"Then what is he?" Ao Zongheng was surprised, but he didn't believe it, because he had also seen the head of the Han just now, and although it was far away, even if he didn't talk about his appearance, his aura was nothing abnormal.

"He's an alien. The girl seemed to be very sure.

What is an alien? If it had been half a month ago, Aozong would have asked this question.

At this time, the wine money spent in the tavern finally reflects the value of investment.

The so-called inhumans are humans who can transform into other creatures, usually various beasts.

Then why not call it orcs, because there are orcs in this world, and they are more suitable to be called orcs than inhumans.

The so-called orcs are made from beasts and humans, and aliens are transformed by humans. They were born as human beings, but for various reasons, they gained the ability to transform into other creatures.

In the stories that Aozhu heard, encountering aliens is more terrifying than encountering orcs, and orcs will breed humanity in the process of adulthood, and will even be affected by human values and morals. In the process of alienation, some humanity will be lost, and some habits of the creatures he has alienated will be replaced. But this is not the most important thing, the point is that orcs generally live away from humans, while aliens live like ordinary people. So in the legendary story, humans who meet orcs have different fates, and if you find out that someone is the true identity of an alien, it must be a life-or-death situation.

"Why are you sure he's an alien?"

"He would have two fixed days a month, not sleeping in this room, and he would remove all the guards in the courtyard, I used to secretly watch the courtyard, and he did not leave the courtyard gate. I've heard since I was a child that every once in a while, Inhumans will be irrepressibly alienated, and if it lasts for a while, I think he must have been hiding and alienating. The girl said seriously.

"You're just suspicious, maybe it's possible, but it's not evidence. ”

"There were a couple of stone huts in the courtyard, and I always thought there would be a dungeon in them, and he should be hiding somewhere, but I couldn't get close to them.

Hearing this, he immediately dispersed his senses, and sure enough, in one of the stone houses that the girl said, he found a trap door covered by a double carpet and pressed by debris, and on the other side of the trap door, there was actually a thick cloth, which was obviously used for sound insulation. Underneath the trapdoor was a cellar about the size of a gon (the main unit of size in the southern part of the empire, with a vertical and horizontal area of three furrows, which translates to about forty-two square meters).

The floor of the cellar was covered with iron plates two fingers thick, and the cellar was almost empty, except for the center of the cellar, where there were two locking cuffs fixed to the ground, and the circle diameter of these cuffs was far greater than the ankles of ordinary people.

It seems that the girl's speculation is indeed correct, this is indeed a dungeon for imprisonment, and the object of detention does not look like a human. But that doesn't prove that it's the head of the house who is being held here.

"When you say he's a demon, do you mean he can transform into a demon?"

The girl shook her head, "I don't know, the demon is because he ...... me"

If the ring spirit is there, it can probably immediately reflect the girl's intention to stop talking, but she hasn't appeared since that time.

Arrogant could probably guess that the girl was referring to something he was ashamed to talk about, but he had never been curious about it, "It seems that you can't tell me anything anymore, you clean up and go quickly." ”

"Master Mage, my hometown is far away, and I don't want to go back, I just want to watch this demon die, and then I will laugh and go under the Flortels tree. The girl was not stupid, and when she saw that she was not frightened by the fact that the leader was a stranger, she could guess that this person was not a stupid thief who dared to act recklessly, but a mage. As for what she said about going to the Frentels tree with a smile, it actually meant that she would kill herself after the head died.

The Flordines Tree is a tree, the most important tree in the beliefs of the inhabitants of the world of Pleuz, or rather in the belief of the gods, it reaches the zenith, it is rooted in the earth, the canopy is vast and boundless, and more importantly, it is the gate to the world of the dead.

In the world of Ploz, it is believed that when each person dies, his consciousness and spirit will appear in the form of a necromancy in a place called Pudenoruya, which is not their resting place, but rather the starting point for them to become the dead. The necromancers need to travel from Pudine Norua to the foot of the Florenters tree in five days. Enter through the hollow of the tree and walk through the last leg of the path to the dead—those who worship the gods, the benevolent ones who eventually follow the canopy to the zenith, where they receive the new life bestowed upon them by the gods, and enjoy eternal happiness there, while the wicked who do not worship the gods finally enter the land of the guilty dead in the endless abyss through the roots of the Frenthals tree, where they suffer endless suffering.

An unmarried person like a maiden, in the folklore concept of the world of Ploz, is impossible to ascend to the zenith, waiting for her will only be the kingdom of the dead, generally speaking, people who know that they want to enter the country of the dead, always want to prolong their time in the world as much as possible, but with the girl, she seems to live strong only to be able to see the death of the head.

"Have you tried to kill him yourself?" asked Aoheng suddenly.

"I tried, I used a sharpened copper spoon and tried to insert it into his heart while he was asleep, but I couldn't. ”

"He didn't kill you?" Except for the dead, Ao Zongheng didn't think that anyone would not even wake up from being inserted with a sharp weapon.

"I also asked this question, but he said, if you don't kill me, I'll only try once, kill me, and the next person will try again, this kind of boring thing, the less the better. This sentence obviously had a deep impact on the girl, and when she repeated it, she seemed to be imitating the tone of Hanshou's tone at that time.

This head is really crazy, and Ao Yue can imagine that when he said this, his expression was probably like looking down on a mortal god.

"It seems that if you don't see him die, you won't die?"

"Yes, Master Mage. The girl's voice was as resolute as her expression.

The head of the army didn't stay in the office for long, and if he hadn't known that the other two ministers were also coming, he would have even wanted to leave immediately.

The fire itself was not very big, and by the time the head of the city arrived, the fire had already been controlled, if it wasn't for the burning of the political building but other rooms, how dare Tuosang disturb Lord the head of the city on this night.

Although it burned for a while, it only burned a small thing, and it didn't even affect the interior of the second floor, so the head of the house didn't bother to wait for the fire to go out, and after a brief meeting with the two ministers who arrived, the head of the house got on the car and returned.

He had never doubted the cause of the fire, and although the guards tried to argue that it was not their negligence, how many of them could admit that they had made mistakes, especially if the consequences of their mistakes were not well anticipated.

He didn't have an immediate attack at the scene, which doesn't mean that he intends to forgive the fault of his subordinates, it's just that Lord Hanshou doesn't plan to waste time in this late night, anyway, with his identity, it is not a matter of arbitrariness to pursue it now, or tomorrow or even ten days later?

The carriage quickly returned to the courtyard, and as soon as he got out of the car, he noticed that something was unusual - the courtyard seemed too quiet.

"There's been no noise inside?" he asked the two guards outside the door, who were only in charge of the outside of the door and were not even qualified to enter the inner courtyard.

After receiving a definite answer, the head of the house quietly walked into the courtyard gate.

There is no one in the courtyard, and under normal circumstances, from the courtyard gate to the main entrance of the building, there is at least one fixed post and one patrol post.

Not only here, but with his sense of hearing and smell, he could conclude that the entire courtyard was empty, which was obviously not a normal situation.

Faced with this situation, a normal person will immediately flee from this place and find all the protective power he can find, but Hanshou still has no intention of leaving.

It seems that there are only people on the third floor, which woman is neither dead nor escaped?

"You actually stepped on here without hesitation, you are really not an ordinary person. A strange man's voice suddenly rang out.

"Mage?" asked the head of the house, before going upstairs, he had only smelled the smell of the woman he regarded as a forbidden woman, and only mages and pharmacists who were proficient in pharmacy had the ability to hide their scents. But an ordinary pharmacist obviously doesn't have the courage to get along with the head of the house - whether the head of the head is an ordinary person or not.

It was only at this time that Han Shou really felt the surprise, but it was only an accident, and there was not the slightest fear in his voice. He didn't think that there would be any powerful mages suddenly appearing in this border village.

Although he didn't find out where this mage was hiding.

"Actually, I just wanted to withdraw some money, but I didn't expect that you didn't even have a copper coin in your family, if you can come up with a sum of money, I don't think there will be any conflict between us. ”

Arrogant is sincere, he is right to be curious about this strange man, but he can't talk about hostility, and others didn't provoke him, but he found the door first, so if the other party can really give him a sum of money, he will definitely not take the initiative to embarrass the other party with his character.

However, he wanted to make things simple, but others didn't.

"Hehe, are you threatening me, with you as a mage?" asked the head with a sneer.
