"That's careless...... Lord Verry is so brave and witty, but I didn't expect to be plotted by that villain, it's really a misfortune for our human race....."

It was a scholar from Muqing University who spoke, and he was behind Mu Tian and Jin Ming, looking at the unconscious person lying on the bed through the gap between the two, and the expression on his face was not as sad as what came out of his mouth. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info and the person lying on the bed is the "Veri" who was killed by Makino with a purpose, but was seriously injured instead - Willy. At this time, his chest was wrapped in layers of white gauze, his face was pale, and only a faint breath came out of his mouth.

Jin Ming looked at his most capable leader, and his serious expression explained Verry's injury. From the Wild West Field to the Silver Trace Castle, and then to the Pastoral Capital, it is undeniable that Verry's ability is undeniable, although this person sometimes makes himself incomprehensible and even a little suspicious, but without him, he would not have reached his current position so smoothly, and it is impossible to control an army of thousands of people. But...... Why did he go to the dungeon where the felons were held late at night, and he went to Makino's cell in disguise? And found a knife on him that had not yet been taken out, what did he want to do? Could it be...... Want to kill Makino?Jin Ming pondered.

The door to the room was pushed open, and a guard from the capital of the pasture entered.

"Did anyone catch it?" asked Mu Tian in a cold voice. She had a complicated look in her eyes, and she knew how dangerous the person who escaped was, a scum of the Terran race, who disregarded faith and loyalty, and would do anything for his own benefit.

"Not yet, Lord ......," replied the guard who came in, "We've been letting Lord Verry into the dungeon since ......"

"Why didn't you report this matter? You know, the dungeon where felons are held can only be entered with the permission of the city lord, you know who the city lord is, right?" Mu Tian asked sharply.

"Know...... Know, it's you...... It's you. Cause...... Because...... Lord Verry said he would come out in a moment...... So we ......."

Mu Tian listened to the guard's stumbling answer, and had already guessed in his heart. This group of people still retains the military style of accepting bribes when Makino was in power, and they must have accepted his benefits, and the other party is a higher rank than himself, so he doesn't dare to commit crimes, so it is better to be a favor and let him in.

Mu Tian waved his white hand and signaled that he didn't need to explain and continued to report.

"Lord Verry went into the dungeon for a long time and didn't come out, so we went to look for him, only to find him wounded and lying in Makino's cell...... And we didn't find Makino on the way from the entrance to the cell, so we can conclude that he didn't run upwards, but towards ......"

"Into the depths of the dungeon?" Muqing interjected, and the expression on his face changed a little, becoming a little weird.

"That's right, we searched a few more floors down, but it was too ...... down there Too dark and ...... was horrified, so I decided to go back and report the situation first. ”

Mu Tian noticed the change in Mu Qing's face and felt that he seemed to have something to say, so he asked, "Scholar, what do you think about this matter?"

Mu Qing shook his head, his voice low and weak: "There is no record in the annals of history about where the depths of the dungeon lead, and my subordinates do not dare to speculate. It is only known that it existed when the ancient city of Majinojin was built, and the first few floors of the dungeon were used to hold prisoners, and they were renovated every few years, and there is no record of the depths of the dungeon, and no one knows where it leads. In my opinion, those who know are long gone......"

The old scholar's words silenced everyone, many of the secret uses of the ancient buildings left behind hundreds of years ago were beyond their superficial meaning, and without anyone who really knew it, never try to find out what it was for.

"However, the lord can rest assured that there have been prisoners who have escaped into the depths of the dungeon and never heard from them again. Makino was injured and hadn't eaten for a few days, so the result of running into the depths of the dungeon should be no different from his predecessors. Mu Qing turned to say, a gloating smile on the old man's face.

"Then he still seriously injured my man. Jin Ming ignored Mu Qing's theory and retorted.

Mu Tian also nodded, she knew that Mu Ye was not only ruthless, but also very incomparable in will and toughness, after all, he was once the leader of the human race, and his body was full of dragon blood.

"Can you find the descendants of the workers who built this dungeon?" asked Mu Tian, turning to the guards behind him.

"It is necessary to transfer out the register of the population living in the capital over the years, but if these workers who built the dungeon were foreigners and did not register, it would be difficult to do it......

"Try to find out, I want to know where the hell leads down there. Mu Tian commanded.

The guards turned around and left after answering yes, and the Muqing University scholars also retreated, leaving only Mu Tian and Jin Ming, as well as Wei Li on the bed.

"Mu Tian City Lord, I don't think this matter is that simple. Jin Ming glanced at Wei Li on the bed and said to Mu Tian. He is no longer the gentleman he was a year ago who only wandered around restaurants, brothels and other places in the wind and snow. The grinding of the battlefield and the struggle for power have transformed him into a cautious person who will think of several sides of everything.

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to call me the city lord," Mu Tian first said softly, and then asked rhetorically, "What did you notice?"

Jin Ming's lips moved, as if there was something unspeakable.

"After Viri's accident, I thought about mobilizing troops to patrol the perimeter of Makino to prevent Makino from escaping outside the city, but ......" Jin Ming's face turned a little red, "But those Qingyun City troops who defected to me, the governors of all sides said that they only obeyed the dispatch of Lord Veri. ”

Mu Tian also frowned in confusion, but she still thought in a good place: "It may be that they are under your command, the time is short, and Verry is the one who directly ordered it, this kind of resistance is also possible." ”

"If that's the case, I can understand it, I'm afraid it's ......"

"You're afraid it's him...... Plotted?" Mu Tian looked at Wei Li, who was lying there.

"It's hard to say, he's too clever and calculating...... I had just met him in Sunset City before, and he claimed to be the chief of Qingyun City, but along the way, I found that he had no martial arts at all, and his body was bloated and like a businessman. However, he is good at giving advice, and he may not be able to say that he has another job in Qingyun City. But in such a chaotic situation, I don't have the time and energy to dispel my doubts, after all, he has always been there for me, and he has brought me victory after victory and army. ”

But it's easy for him to stab me secretly, Jin Ming thought in his heart.

"The doctor of Yuling said that although his injuries were very serious and went straight to his heart, he had passed the dangerous period and it might take some time to wake up. Where Makino fled to, it's not so easy to figure out, this time may be a great opportunity for you to investigate, and find out more with the commanders in the army to see if you can get any clues, if necessary, we can provide you with military assistance. Mu Tian suggested.

Jin Ming nodded, Mu Tian's words eased the tension in his heart a lot, and looking at the pretty face, there was a strange wave in his heart. He tried hard to get rid of this feeling, but to no avail.

"Thank you...... Miss Mu Tian. ”

Mu Tian shook his head gently, "You have helped me too much, I can't thank them one by one, and it is not the word 'thanks' that can express the gratitude of me and all the human races in the Mu City." Besides, Young Master Jin Ming, didn't you say that we are friends now, and friends trust and help each other, which is nothing. ”

When Jin Ming heard Mu Tian's words, the grin that he hadn't seen for a long time returned to his face, but behind the smile there were many emotions hidden.
