When Li Yiheng and Eric returned to Fulatu, it was almost dusk, and the ground was covered with all kinds of elongated shadows. The light in the sky, the shadows on the ground, and the surrounding buildings connected to the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info look very quiet.

According to the time, it should be the time after dinner, and the citizens of Furatu have the habit of going out into the streets after dinner. But now the streets, though full of people, were quiet, as if there were no people. Everyone was walking non-stop, but it felt like the walking dead.

"What's wrong with them?" Li Yiheng grabbed a person and wanted to ask what was wrong, but the man ignored him at all, broke away from Li Yiheng's hand and walked forward in a daze.

Eric looked at the people on the street, frowned, and said, "I don't know. Go to my father first. ”

Counting up, it has only been a little more than a day since Eric's disappearance and his return, but Furatu feels like a different world. What is wrong, no one can say.

"Hurry up to your father and ask what is going on. Li Yiheng walked while looking around, the people around him were too weird, "How do they feel like they are controlled by something?"

Eric felt the same way, but now it was only a guess, and he could only find the city lord as soon as possible, "Now hurry up and find my father, and only when I find him can I find out." ”

When I arrived at the city lord's apartment, everything was as usual. When the butler saw Eric coming back, he happily wiped away his tears and led Eric and Li Yiheng directly to the city lord's study.

The apartment was quiet, as if there was no one, the same feeling as on the street. Eric and Li Yiheng glanced at each other, and both of them felt something strange, but now that the situation was unknown, the two of them invariably chose not to move. Immediately, Eric quickened his pace to go upstairs.

A short time later, there was a sound of the door opening from upstairs, and then Eric's choked voice was heard, "Father, Mommy." ”

Li Yiheng, who heard Eric's voice, breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried that the city lord and the city lord's wife would become the same as the city citizens outside, but now it seems that they are all fine.

In the upstairs study, the city lord's wife was holding Eric and weeping, and the city lord on the side was also wiping tears from his wife and son. Li Yiheng breathed a sigh of relief and stepped in, "Mr. City Lord, Mrs. City Lord." ”

Seeing Li Yiheng, the city lord's wife was embarrassed not to turn her head to wipe her tears, and then beckoned to Li Yiheng, "Child, come here." Just call me Auntie. ”

"Uh, Auntie. Li Yiheng called out in a good manner, walked over, and sat on the sofa next to the city lord's wife.

The city lord's wife took Li Yiheng's hand and looked at it carefully, and said emotionally, "Thank you so much this time, if it weren't for your ......" The city lord's wife choked up again.

"Auntie, Eric and I are good friends, as it should be. Li Yiheng struggled to make his voice less stiff. To be honest, he is very unlikely to cope with such occasions and situations. Passing over the city lord's wife in the middle, Li Yiheng gave Eric a strong look and told him to hurry up and talk to the city lord.

Eric originally wanted to say something as soon as he came in, but he was pulled by the city lord's wife to cry, and he didn't bother to speak. This will be the city lord's wife to talk to Li Yiheng, Eric finally got free, "Father, this time we saw the true body of the water monster underwater, his body is Kanna, and after transformation, it is a giant jellyfish. But it's hard to deal with it in the water, and we want to lure it out, to Uratu to destroy it. ”

The city lord's eyes lit up when he heard Eric's words, and then he sighed and dimmed again.

"Father?" Eric was surprised by the city lord's reaction, in the past, as long as he said that he could deal with water monsters, the city lord was very positive.

The city lord's wife glanced at the city lord and said angrily, "Don't follow him, now he doesn't count." ”

"Mom, what's going on?" Eric wondered, "Father doesn't count, who decides?"

The city lord's wife glared at the city lord angrily, "Priest, now the priest has the final say." ”

"Auntie, what's going on?" Li Yiheng and Eric looked at each other and said in shock, "What's going on with those citygoers outside?

The city lord looked at Eric, and then at Li Yiheng, opened his mouth to speak but didn't know how to say it, and finally sighed and shut up.

The city lord's wife hated the iron and spat the city lord, "I'll tell you......"

It turned out that after Eric and Li Yiheng fell into the water one after another that day, the lord of the city saw the waves approaching, and when he was terrified, he went to the doctor and asked the priest to protect Furatu, and he himself led people from the lake in the center of the island to the sea to find Eric.

As a result, after searching for a day, he did not find Eric, and when he returned, Uratu was already under the control of the priests. All the citizens of the city walked mechanically on the road as if they had lost their souls, doing their work mechanically, and there was a black mist everywhere.

The lord of the city went to the priest to theorize, but the priest had the handle that the lord and Arrahand wanted to marry, so that Eric could be elected as the next lord of the city.

If the lord of the city still wants to be the lord of the city, then he can only listen to the priest. Otherwise, the priest will publish the evidence, and the city lord will not want to be the city lord again.

As a result, the city lord thought about it and felt that even being a puppet city lord was better than being an ordinary city citizen, and agreed to the priest's conditions. He was nominally the lord of the city, but in reality everything was in the hands of the priests.

The city lord's wife disagrees with the city lord's decision and wants to expose this matter, but she is now in a dilemma. If this is not revealed, Phatu will fall into the hands of the priests. If it is revealed, what face will his husband and son have in the future to live in Urati?

Before Eric and Lee came in, the two of them were arguing about it. But this matter is very important, and the two are just arguing with their voices suppressed, so Eric and Li Yiheng did not hear any movement before entering the door.

"This scourge shouldn't have been left in the first place!" said Eric, who heard the Lord's Lady tell him what had happened, "By the way, Mother, how did the priest control Furatu?

The City Lord's Lady shook her head, "The priest used the black mist that was refined to control Fulatu. Those black fogs, no one but him can control them. ”

"Black fog?" Li Yiheng said strangely, "Doesn't it mean that those black fogs can only block Furatu from being discovered by water monsters? How can it still be used to control Fulatu? Could it be that those black fogs can confuse people's hearts?"

The city lord's wife raised her eyes to look at Li Yiheng and nodded, "Those black fogs can indeed confuse people's hearts. I have heard that after you left that day, the waves came, and the priest first summoned the black mist to surround Furatu, and then somehow, all the black mist came in, and those who were entangled in the black mist would be confused by it. ”

"Hasn't the black mist been withdrawn, why do you still look confused?" Li Yiheng looked at the city lord and continued to ask.

The City Lord's Lady shook her head, "Although the priest has removed the black mist, everyone's minds are still confused, and the priest needs to cast a spell again to relieve it. ”

"Cast the spell again?" Li Yiheng didn't know much about this spell, and asked, "How to cast the spell?"

The city lord's wife still shook her head, "I don't know about this." ”

A few people were talking, and there was a sound of footsteps outside. After a while, the footsteps reached the door, and the door was pushed open, and the priest stood at the door, followed by Leci.

Eric saw Lezi and wanted to rush up to hit him, but was stopped by Li Yiheng on the side, "Eric, don't be impulsive. ”

"Young master. Letz stepped out from behind the priest and walked up to Eric and saluted him, "From now on, I will be your chief of guard, responsible for your security." ”

Eric sneered and said, "I don't dare to work on you." You can protect your good father. ”

Le Ci was stunned when he heard this, and before he could say anything, the priest at the door had already laughed, "The young master has good eyesight. Presumably, the young master has known for a long time. ”

The words of the priest confessed to the words of Eric, and Retz was the son of the priest.

Li Yiheng was taken aback by the words of the two, his eyes moved back and forth on the faces of the priest and Leci, and after looking at it for a while, he did find a lot of similarities between the two.

The city lord and the city lord's wife were also shocked, their eyes moved back and forth on the faces of the two, and they also found a lot of similarities on their faces. As for why I didn't find out before, it may be that the two have never been linked together, and the priest always wears a large-brimmed hat, and most of his face is covered, so naturally no one pays attention.

For a moment, the atmosphere froze. Li Yiheng stepped forward and walked up to the priest, "Lord Priest, we are discussing one thing now, and this matter is related to the survival of Fulatu. If you want to take Uratu into your own hands, you should solve this problem first. ”

Now the top priority is to appease the priests first, get rid of the water monster together, and rescue Lisa. As for the priest, if he can make the people of Furatu live comfortably, it doesn't matter if the lord is not a puppet. Anyway, the priest is old, and Eric can fight him if he can fight, and if he can't fight, he can survive to death.

Obviously, Eric and Li Yiheng thought about the same, and after listening to Li Yiheng's words, he did not object, but echoed, "We have found the true body of the water monster, but it is a little difficult to get rid of it in the water." We want to lure it to Uratu and destroy it in one fell swoop. ”

"If you're sure, I don't have a problem. Without the slightest hesitation, the priest replied, "The water monster does have to be removed, but I have the conditions, and the credit for getting rid of the water monster must be given to Leci." ”

"How can this work?" the city lord was anxious when he heard the credit, "how can it be ......?"

"Shut up! The City Lord's Lady interrupted the City Lord, "I agree. ”

The Lord's wife was completely disappointed in the Lord, and when Eric said that he was going to deal with the water monster, he didn't react, and when the priest said that the credit was given to Letz, he had such a big reaction. A hero who killed the water monster is qualified to be the next city lord, isn't he afraid that the credit will be given to Leci, and Eric is not qualified to run for the city lord, and he can't live his current life?

The lady of the city lord took Eric's hand, touched his face and said seriously, "Eric, getting rid of the water monster is for the safety of Furatu, not for personal merit and honor. Mom, do you understand?"

"Yes, Mom. I see what you mean. Eric hugged the city lord's wife with open hands, then looked at the priest and said, "The credit can be given to Letz, but you must immediately remove the control of the city people." ”

The priest shrugged his shoulders and said, "Is there any reason for me to refuse?"
