According to Twelve's original plan, she wanted to kill the Xuannu Palace by surprise after destroying the Xuannu Palace, but she didn't expect that Yun Ruohan would be seriously injured, and he was also attacked by the fighting spirit of the Zhuxian Sword at that time, which caused him to suffer heavy damage to his internal organs, and his fighting spirit was chaotic, even the elixir given by Ling Yuhan could not revive him.

As a result, the only way to find the black-clothed messenger of the God King Palace, riding a horse and whipping all the way, stopped at a tea shop, and looked at the south where the God King Hall was located, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

Wait, as long as Yun Ruohan's injuries are healed, I will come to your rescue immediately!

Sitting in the tea shop, Twelve casually asked for some tea and steamed buns to satisfy her hunger, she had been on the road for a day and a night, and she barely closed her eyes, and the horse was tired and snorting outside the tea shop.

"Little Er, how far do you need to go from the nearest big town here?" Twelve asked the young second brother who was running the hall while drinking tea and resting his feet.

Xiao Er shook the rag on his shoulder, and replied with a smile: "From here, follow the official road to the east, at most in an hour and a half, you can reach the Demon City, which is the largest city in the vicinity." ”

Twelve Yi raised his head and drank the warm tea in the teacup, threw down five gold coins, thanked him and hurriedly got on the horse: "Thank you." ”

"The guest officer walks slowly. The little two thieves scrambled the gold coins into his arms and waved goodbye to the back of the twelve.

Before sunset, the twelve finally arrived at the so-called magic city, the city wall outside the town is more than ten meters high, like a black barrier, under the arched city gate, there are many soldiers, all of them are warriors, the strength is from the fourth to the seventh or eighth order, wrapped in heavy armor, the people who enter and leave and the travelers who pass by must be subject to strict checks.

The long dragon spread all the way from the city gate to the official road outside the town, many people carrying flat burdens were talking to each other, twelve turned over and dismounted, followed behind the long dragon, the front of the inventory speed was extremely slow, leading the horse, seeing that the sun was about to set, Twelve's brows also wrinkled.

"Eh, why is it so slow?" the person in front of her complained dissatisfiedly, "It's been almost half an hour, why can't you move? What the hell is going on in this magic city?"

"You're a foreigner, aren't you?" a man sitting on a flat shoulder, dressed in coarse linen clothes, fanned the wind with a handkerchief and picked up his mouth.

"Yes, I came from the border city to join my relatives, who would have thought that it would be so difficult to even enter the city. ”

"You don't know this, it's not been peaceful in the magic city lately. The people spoke mysteriously.

"Why is it not peaceful?"

"Several families have died in the city, no, the city lord has ordered martial law for almost half a month, and there are dozens of dead people, and the murderer has not been caught yet. The people shook their heads and sighed, since the beginning of the month, the magic city has been filled with dead people one after another, which makes this city on the edge of the Vermilion Bird Country panic for a while, if this is not a key port for trade, I am afraid that the building will already be empty.

About an hour, twelve arrived at the city gate, after an inventory, was put into the town, the city gatehouse was closed, the street except for the people who entered the city can hardly see any vendors, the street is cool breeze, except for the inn, no shop is open for business, like an empty city, the sky is cloudy, but also for the town to add a bit of depression and terror, from time to time there are groups of soldiers in the streets and alleys, Patrolling, the people avoided the house, the clothes were blown up and down by the evening wind, the twelve first opened a guest room in the inn, and after inquiring about the branch of the shopkeeper Erlongmen, he went out.

Longmen Branch, Phoenix Hall, located in the central section of the Magic City, a four-storey octagonal building, the house is towering, towering, like a palace, standing quietly between heaven and earth, the beam hangs the Phoenix Hall plaque, the word is strong and powerful, into the wood for three points, just the door is depressed, few people enter and exit, the stone lions on both sides stand quietly on the stone steps, the stone lion contains beads.

Twelve flirtation robes went up the stone steps and entered the main hall, where there was only one table and chair, and a counter, an old man in charge of reception saw someone coming in, and cheered up: "What are the guests doing?"

His hair is already gray, his age is about half a hundred, his face is wrinkled, only a pair of eyes are shining, and his cultivation is extremely high, and he is already an eleventh rank of martial artists.

Twelve were shocked, this dragon gate, the shopkeeper of any branch hall was actually the eleventh order of martial artists? It can be seen how deep the water of this dragon gate is.

Walking to the counter, Twelve said indifferently: "I want to buy information." ”

"Dragon Gate rules, five hundred gold coins for ordinary information, one crystal card for important information, and five crystal cards for private information, which one do guests want?" the old man asked with a smile as he lay on the counter.

"The whereabouts of the black-clothed messenger of the Divine King Palace, how much does it cost?" Twelve went straight to the point and didn't say a word of nonsense.

The old man was stunned for a moment, examined the twelve from top to bottom, and then made a gesture of waiting, went out from behind the counter, opened the curtain of the inner hall, and entered the inside, squirming for a while, and when he came out, his face was already a little respectful.

"It turned out to be Miss Sima Ruyi. He nodded, and pierced Twelve's identity with a sharp shot.

Twelve's body was imposing, and a fierce color flashed between his eyebrows: "How do you know?"

"No, this is the portrait that the master of my family personally painted for Miss, Miss destroyed the Xuannu Palace four days ago, and her fame shocked the world, my Longmen has always made a living by selling intelligence, how could I not know the identity of Miss?" The old man looked like he sighed and spread out a portrait on the counter.

On the white rice paper, the figure of the twelve is depicted with black pen and ink, a black dress is dignified, the ink hair is fluttering, the appearance is delicate, a pair of eyes are as bright as the stars in the sky, there is a pride between the eyebrows, the painting is three points, vivid, and the twelve themselves are almost the same, and especially the spirit, more than one point is not too much, less than an inch is not a lot.

It can be seen that this painter must be a good Danqing.

"If Miss likes it, this portrait should be a gift from Longmen to Miss. The old man looked at the portrait in a daze when he saw Twelve, and made a favor.

Twelve raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "No merit will not be punished." ”

The old man's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he didn't force it, "Miss Sima wants to find the whereabouts of Mo Bai, the black-clothed envoy of the God King Palace, and this information is top secret. ”

After that, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he even took out the account book and flipped through it, pointed to the price code marked on it and said: "Ten crystal cards, but for the sake of Miss Sima's first visit to Longmen, you can get a nine-percent discount." ”

"Nine crystal cards?" The corners of Twelve's mouth twitched, the total amount of money she brought on her body added up, at most there were only four crystal cards, which was more than double the difference, is this to rob money?

As if seeing her predicament, the old man smiled and made a suggestion: "In fact, if the young lady does not have enough money, she can also do one thing for my Longmen, this money Longmen does not accept Miss, and even from now on, as long as the young lady comes to my Longmen to trade, you can enjoy a six-fold discount." ”

"What do you want me to do?" Twelve frowned, not moved by the so-called six folds, and was extremely vigilant.

The old man's praise for her was even deeper, "The magic city is now full of rumors, the undead kill people, if Miss can catch the murderer and solve the difficulties of the magic city, Longmen will treat Miss Sima as a guest from now on." ”

Twelve raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his cold gaze went straight to the old man's shining eyes, "Reason?"

Longmen is rich and rich, and the riots in the Demon City, how could they exchange such sweetness? Or is it that the difficulties of the Demon City have anything to do with the Longmen?

"Miss Sima only needs to say yes or no, and the rest is not within the scope of Miss's jurisdiction. The old man's face sank, and he resolutely refused to answer Twelve's question, his attitude was extremely strong, but it made Twelve more sure, the anomaly of the Demon City was absolutely inseparable from the Dragon Gate.

Or rather, there is something in this that Longmen needs.

However, these are not the focus of Twelve's concern, she smiled proudly: "As long as I catch the murderer, whether I live or die, and solve the problem of the Demon City, you will tell me Mo Bai's whereabouts without taking a penny, really?"

"Longmen is a promise, if Miss Sima doesn't believe it, I can make an oath immediately. With that, the old man raised one hand high, and a large array of stars rose in vain under his feet, and the coercion belonging to heaven and earth surged back and forth in the hall, and the hair of the twelve was blown everywhere by the strong wind, and the clothes were fluttering.

After the Heaven and Earth Contract was formed, she nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

"A gentleman. ”

"Whip the horse. ”

Syllable!

The palms of his hands slapped in the air, and the agreement was reached, and the old man handed over the investigation materials in the magic city to Twelve.

On an evening at the beginning of the month, a strong wind suddenly blew in the town, and a common man who was on the watch, who had bitten his throat and sucked the blood of his whole body, turned into a dried corpse, and died tragically on the street.

For many days in the aftermath, at midnight, no matter how tightly guarded, no matter how tightly closed the gatehouse, someone died tragically, or at home, or in a thatched house, and even the wife and concubine of the city lord were drained of blood under heavy guards.

The deceased all had pale faces, two marks on their necks that looked like tooth marks, all the fighting qi in their bodies had been drained, and the blood had been drained, no different from a dried corpse.

Twelve carefully looked at Longmen's information, and his face changed suddenly.

How do you look so much like the legendary vampire?

Vampires only haunt after the sun sets, and make a living by quoting the blood of living people, but how can this kind of thing, which only exists in Western fantasy shijie, appear here?

"Judging by Miss Sima's expression, you seem to have a preliminary understanding?" the old man asked aloud with burning eyes.

"No, I just have a vague guess," Twelve shook his head, "I wonder if these people were attacked by something, Demonic Beasts, or Humans, or Martial Artists who cultivated unusual mental techniques?"

"It's a shame to say, even if this murderer has haunted many times, no one knows what it is, only that its speed is extremely fast, it comes and goes without a trace, and I sent hundreds of elites to garrison the magic city in Longmen, but it has been repeatedly succeeded by it. The old man said, and there was a look of helplessness on his face.

Longmen shili is very great, this time the difficulty of the magic city, the city lord specially asked Longmen, at a high price to ask them to start investigating the origin and identity of the murderer, but this has been half a month, except for some superficial information, they can't even know the identity of that thing, is it a human or a beast? This is a dishonorable thing for Longmen, so they have entrusted twelve to catch the murderer.

A young master who can overturn the Xuannu Palace may be able to solve the difficulties of the Demon City.
