Chapter 275: The Phoenix Turned Upside Down

In the dungeon, Xu Nan looked at the handsome face, revealing a deep groan.

After a while, he ordered:

"Wake him up and bring him to my room."

"I'm going to interrogate myself."

Everyone suddenly showed envy.

Immediately, there were guards to carry out Xu Nan's order.

Ten minutes later.

In the dark room, there was only a flickering candle, and Xu Nan stood in front of the candle, coldly examining the so-called "scholar" who had woken up and turned around.

"Name?" Xu Nan suddenly asked.

"Dillan, my name is Dillan."

The other party said weakly:

"Your Excellency, please let me explain that I am not in the same group as the dragons. I was only forced to blend in with Langdu's army to protect myself......"

Xu Nan thought about it, and his tone was a little calmer:

"Then why do you explain the reason for so many layers of camouflage before?"

"Don't tell me it's your hobby."

Dillan gasped and seemed to relax, he tried to open his eyes and try to see Xu Nan's appearance clearly:

"You are ......"

"Don't ask me who I am." Xu Nan pretended to be impatient and said fiercely: "You just need to know that the screaming sentry is up to me." ”

"Answer my question!"

Dillan hurriedly said:

"Got it, sir."

"The reason why I use so many layers of camouflage is because I have mastered a unique disguise technique, which is very powerful and can blind most people's senses, and I myself am not very good at fighting, so I ......"

seemed to be stimulated by Xu Nan's [intimidation], Dillen seemed to pour beans from a bamboo tube, and said all the things Xu Nan wanted to ask-

Dillan claims to be from the Valley of the Ice Saw, and his status in the Valley of the Ice Saw is not low, and he is said to be one of the advisors to the Lich Sanger.

His profession is [Traveling Scholar].

This is a class that lacks combat skills of its own, but is very good at dodging disasters.

Dyerlan has an amazing art of disguise that will help him avoid most of the troubles during his journey.

This kind of disguise technique is similar to Xu Nan's [Racial Change].

He was able to disguise himself as a variety of subterranean races and blend in with them.

When he was caught, the reason why he had so many layers of disguise was because this disguise had a special mechanism - each time he cast a disguise spell before completely resetting the disguise process, it would have a superimposed effect on the original one.

This led to the fact that under his dragonman face, there were three faces: kobold, lizardman, and gray dwarf.

Because during his previous trips, he had encountered three tribes of the underground race, and in order to protect himself, he had to transform himself into various races......

To be honest, Xu Nan is still quite skeptical of this statement.

A scholar who runs around for no reason and can survive until now with just one hand?

It's also too defying the dangers of the underworld.

It's also too contemptuous of their own intelligence.

So he always kept a straight face.

Regarding Dillan's seemingly sincere confession, he didn't intend to believe a word!

"Forget it, it doesn't matter who you were before. Now there is only one identity, and that is the captive of the Anonymous City. ”

"The dungeon is your best place to belong."

Xu Nan yawned.

Dillan was suddenly a little nervous, he couldn't help but grab the table, and said nervously:

"My lord, that's not the case."

"I know a lot of things."

"By the way, don't you, or the lord of Anonymous City, want to know the real cause of this war?"

"I left Icesaw Valley to investigate this matter......

Xu Nan was slightly stunned in his heart, but he sneered on his face:

"Do you think we don't know anything?"

"Isn't the cause of this war the soulstealers who strayed into the underworld?"

A look of surprise appeared on Dillan's face, and then he shook his head violently:

"Of course not!"

"Do you know [Eternal Life Village]?"

Xu Nan narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything, just motioned for Dillan to continue.

Dillan coughed a few times and groaned:

"Actually, I left the Icesaw Valley this time because I was commissioned by the great Mr. Sanger to conduct a secret investigation into the myth and legend of the [Eternal Village]."

"The unexpected arrival of the Soul Stealers is certainly unsettling, but the Black Dragons and Demons are not going to start a near-fatal war because of this!"

"What drove them to attack Icesaw Valley was something else."

He certainly said.

It's just that when he said this, he suddenly shut up and stopped talking.

Xu Nan glared at him with some dissatisfaction:

"Go on."

Dillan thought for a long time before taking a deep breath and looking directly at Xu Nan with both eyes:

"Your Excellency, can you keep it a secret?"

Xu Nan was stunned for a moment, does this mean that he wants to keep it a secret?

He happily said:

"Absolutely."

Dillan gritted his teeth and said:

"So, I can too."

"For the most part, I can."

"Unless ......"

Then he stopped talking.

Xu Nan was stunned at first, and his second reaction was annoyance, this kid is playing himself?

After that, he realized that Dillan was negotiating terms with himself!

He probably saw that he was attracted by his words, which is why he made such a bold move.

However, looking at his trembling legs, Xu Nan also knew that this traveling scholar probably used all his courage before he dared to try to negotiate terms with him.

"Do you think your secret is valuable?"

Xu Nan sneered:

"The intelligence channels in Anonymous City are much more developed than you think."

"It seems that the dungeon is indeed the best place for you."

He didn't give Dillan another chance to talk nonsense, and threw the scholar directly into the dungeon.

No matter how the other party pleaded or talked about those mysterious terms, Xu Nan was indifferent.

Whether it was the [True Cause of the War] or the legendary [Eternal Life Village], although they all aroused Xu Nan's curiosity to a certain extent, he knew very well that the other party could not grasp the initiative in negotiations!

What's more, it wasn't a fair negotiation in the first place.

Dillan is just Xu Nan's prisoner!

From the moment he was playing clever in front of him, Xu Nan decided that he would not cooperate with this traveling scholar!

Well, unless, even Paradise Lost's intelligence system can't find out the secrets in Dillan's mouth, he will reconsider the situation on both sides.

"It's basically impossible."

"Although there are many secrets underground, with the infiltration power of Paradise Lost, how can there be an impermeable wall?"

With such a thought, Xu Nan ordered someone to strictly guard Dillan, then turned around and entered Paradise Lost.

Ten minutes later.

He left MI7 with an embarrassed face.

The intelligence system of Paradise Lost really can't find out the real cause of the underground turmoil!

As for the legend of Eternal Village, there are only a few words.

Xu Nan asked for the specific reason, and the intelligence officer told Xu Nan that the underground world was vast and sparsely populated, the distribution of Ron Warlocks was scarce, and there were fewer people receiving allowances; That's not the main reason, though.

The main reason is that it is the territory of the primeval gods.

The primeval god naturally has the ability to cover the law, and the intelligence ability of Paradise Lost will be greatly discounted in the dark region.

In this regard, Xu Nan also had a little pain.

MI7 of Paradise Lost temporarily holds the same view as him in this war, that is, because of the indiscriminate invasion of the Soulstealer army, the black dragons and demons launched a great migration of the population, and finally led to the Battle of Icesaw Valley.

This explanation seems reasonable, but there are still loopholes when you think about it carefully.

That's - is the Horpent Legion really that terrifying?

Whether it is the Great Demon Inoya or the Black Dragon Clan, there are powerhouses comparable to legends.

They may not be a match for the Loki's Zergized Legion of Soulstealers.

But as for the panic that he didn't encounter the Spirit Stealer yet, did he prepare to start running away in advance?

This point was also brought up by Dillan, and the more Xu Nan pondered it, the more wrong it became.

There are so many mysteries in the underworld that he couldn't see the relevant information in the Moon Spring before.

All he knew was that around the Anonymous City, there were countless fogs of war hidden.

A crisis can erupt at any time.

He had to guard against it.

As for the affix [Eternal Village], Xu Nan found some records in the internal database.

Legend has it that in the middle of the darkness, there is a quiet and peaceful village.

All races in the village are equal, and the villagers have the transcendent ability to live forever.

However, the village rarely accepts outsiders.

They have guarded the secrets of eternal life for generations.

There is a saying.

If you can find the village of eternal life and convince a villager to make a referral, you will have the opportunity to join that mysterious village and enjoy an inexhaustible wealth and life.

The rest of the descriptions are all nonsense, and most of them are beautiful words about how beautiful Eternal Life Village is.

……

"Aren't these kinds of stories made up by those who want to make money and kill people?"

Xu Nan was equally skeptical about the existence of Yongsheng Village.

In his opinion, the traces of the routine of this story are too obvious.

Since ancient times, the routines of seeking money and killing people, killing people and grabbing treasures have been like this.

First of all, use various gimmicks to spread a fictional story about how beautiful, rich, and powerful the destination is, so as to attract some brainless guys to explore.

Then, gather these people together and catch them all.

The speed of this method of cheating people is faster than a simple robbery, but generally speaking, it can only be done once, and it is easy to run into hard stubble when there are more times.

"Besides, even if the Eternal Village really exists, what does it have to do with the cause of the war?"

"If you think about it carefully, the gimmick of eternal life really doesn't seem like a simple murder for money; After all, people who want to pursue eternal life are definitely not ordinary people, and if they are not careful, they will easily get into trouble......"

"The problem now is that I haven't been able to determine the true identity of this Dillan, and everything he says has to be questioned."

Xu Nan fell into a difficult situation.

But he didn't dwell on it for long.

It is certainly impossible to give in to Deerren now.

He had to be left to dry in the dungeon for a few days before he knew the identities of the two sides.

In the past few days, he just happened to ask around for relevant news.

So he ordered to go down, and the rest of the dragonman captives were left alone, and Dillan had to take care of himself.

There is no need for interrogation, no food or drink, just leave it in a dark dungeon.

As long as you don't let him run, the mission will be successfully completed.

Naturally, the soldiers swore to their fate.

Xu Nan didn't stay at the Screaming Sentry for too long, and there were many things that he couldn't do in person.

For example, Fanteson and his party asked Xiao Liang to arrange it.

It is impossible for these gnolls to be put into Anonymous City, at most and at most, it is almost impossible to arrange them as supernumerary members of Anonymous City, and they are almost left at the Screaming Sentry.

But at this time, Xu Nan arranged an errand for them:

Sweep the underground space north of Anonymous City, where there are several nests of small underground races.

With Fantersen's methods and manpower, it won't be too difficult to sweep these nests, but it will definitely take some effort.

Xu Nan didn't impose any restrictions on them.

If these gnolls run away, forget it.

But if they really completed the task satisfactorily and sincerely served themselves, Xu Nan wouldn't mind taking a few more junior brothers.

As for whether these little brothers will be two or five boys......

Xu Nan is very confident in his charm!

"Wait a few days, and when Dillan is starving, I'll ask him again."

"It's really not good, don't blame me for being charmed, I've been cultivating the touch of dementia for so long, and it hasn't come in handy for a long time."

He thought to himself.

It's strange to say.

If it had been someone else, Xu Nan would have gone directly to the [Intelligence Reduction Package], but in the face of Dillan, he was somewhat instinctively reluctant to use such extreme measures.

Maybe, this is the sympathy of the same handsome.

Even Xu Nan himself can't bear to be ruthless when it comes to things that are too good-looking.

"Looks like I've been a lot kinder lately."

"That's not a good thing."

Xu Nan was stunned.

……

A week passed.

During this period, the anonymous city was calm.

Since the total destruction of the Dragonman Legion, the vanguard army has broken and fled, and there is no posture to make a comeback in the short term.

On the contrary, on the surface of Evelyn, there are frequent war alarms.

It is said that the current Eastern Kingdom has been completely divided internally.

There are inextricable alliances and covenants within the heirs of several kingdoms.

The eldest prince declared war on the second prince, and the third prince also declared war on the second prince, but he also declared war on the eldest prince.

The eldest prince was very low-key, only declaring the independence of his territory, and did not respond to the declaration of war by the second and third princes.

Evelyn is also very low-key, she has not declared war on anyone at all.

But she was declared war by all the other heirs......

At the same time, however, almost every heir has written to claim that their declaration of war is only to confuse others, and that they hope to form a secret alliance with Evelyn to resolve the sudden internal strife in the kingdom.

This strange relationship, Evelyn used a large page to explain it to Xu Nan.

Rao is like this, Xu Nan was also dizzy enough.

But it's good that he has his own independent way of analyzing things.

Except for Evelyn, a natural ally.

The relationship between Wildfire City and Anonymous City and the rest of the heirs is actually easy to judge.

It would be nice to see which of them were willing to pay a more considerable fee for maintaining their friendship with the Anonymous City, which Xu Nan called the [City-State Friendship Maintenance Fee].

For this reason, Xu Nan, as the city lord of Wildfire City, seriously replied to the routine alliance invitations of several heirs.

Although there is a high probability that these replies will be torn up on the spot or thrown into the brazier.

Well, on the eldest prince's side, maybe it will be different.

Regarding the matter of the Eastern Kingdom, Xu Nan didn't think about it for too long.

It's still winter, and the snow covers the mountains, not to mention Evelyn, who is far away in the Ice Wind Territory, even in the southern part of the Eastern Kingdom, it is extremely cold, and everyone can only nest in the house and fight cannons to prepare war materials for the coming year.

The situation is getting more and more chaotic.

But the war is still going to take some time.

At least wait for spring.

And this week, Xu Nan's real focus is still on the causes of war mentioned by Dillan.

He asked Qin Lele to help pay attention to the changes in the underground, but unfortunately the dark area was too wide, and even the gambling god with great powers couldn't help this time.

The angry Xu Nan wanted to rush to the dungeon several times to hammer people.

But the amazing thing is that for some reason, he actually held back.

This made Xu Nan surprised that his temper had improved, and he thought a little more about Dillan himself.

Perhaps, he is not just a traveling scholar.

Xu Nan is also patient.

Dillan has been hungry for six days, has only been given a little water, and spends most of his time sleeping, it seems that this guy is really able to keep secrets, and he will swear to death if Xu Nan does not agree to his conditions.

Since this is the case, Xu Nan will play with him.

However, these days have not been without good news.

Whenever Xu Nan opens the super-spiritual vision, there will be surprises.

Like now.

He opened his eyes and saw a column of qi that was incomparably complete.

[Psychic Fear: Tier II.MAX]

It seems that the scattered gnolls and drows have spread to all parts of the dark region with news of the humiliation of the tyrant.

In just one star, Xu Nan was full of the advanced requirements of the Apostle of Desire.

The Paradise Lost system also responded.

[Detected that the advanced class-Desire Apostle upgrade has been satisfied, is it possible to increase the level?] 】

Xu Nan chose to be sure without hesitation.

[Your Apostle of Desire level has been raised to level 2!] The total level is 15! 】

[You have gained 1 free attribute point!] 】

[You have gained 196 skill points!] 】

[You have gained a professional specialty-upside down phoenix ......]

"What's that?"

"What's the use of this thing?"

Xu Nan's first reaction was to angrily denounce this inferior expertise.

It's just that after reading the instructions carefully, he obediently shut his mouth.
