"What else?" Starmark stared at the old prime minister and asked, he naturally understood that there was absolutely no pie in the sky, the other party had gone to great lengths to do such a play, and even risked that even Abner and the others were under house arrest, how could he just buy Falling Star with himself. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Xiaoyou is very shrewd, and he deserves to be a proud disciple of Master Abner. After the old prime minister praised it, he put away his smile and said: "Don't hide it from Xiaoyou, there is indeed a small matter to trouble Xiaoyou." ”

"I wonder if you've heard the heart of the clock?"

"The heart of the clock... I'm not a watch repairer, so how do I know the heart of a watch!" Starmark glanced at the old man, looking at him with the eyes of a fool.

The old prime minister glanced at the star mark angrily, although the heart of the clock is not known to everyone, but with the identity of the star mark, it is impossible not to know. Of course, he naturally didn't get annoyed by this, but explained with a smile: "It's not surprising that Xiaoyou doesn't know, after all, in Lune, there are very few people who know the heart of clocks, and even the old man only learned about it not long ago. ”

"Then I guess Alberan's bell tower, Xiaoyou must know. ”

"I don't know, I don't have any money, I haven't been there. Starmark threw out such a sentence tepidly.

This time, the smile on the old prime minister's face was no longer natural, and became stiff, if the heart of the clock did not know that there was still extenuating circumstances, after all, it was indeed a state secret, but the bell tower is the landmark building of Alberan, just like the Cathedral of Prontera, which has long been popularized into children's books, as long as it is a person from the country of Lune, even a three-year-old child knows. Starmark said this in complete sincerity.

After two dry coughs, the old prime minister directly skipped the words of the star mark and continued.

"The bell tower of Alberan seems to outsiders, even if it is a symbol of Alberan, but it is just a famous landmark. But in reality, the bell tower is not as simple as it seems. ”

Saying this, the old prime minister's face also became serious, he stretched out his hand, and all the sounds around the star mark disappeared, and the only thing he could hear was the old prime minister's voice. Seeing the old prime minister isolating the voices around him, and Starmark also put away his cold face, he knew that the main thing was about to be revealed, and the big event that was enough to make the royal family go to war and use Abner as a bargaining chip to blackmail him was about to be revealed.

At this time, the old prime minister's serious voice also came out at the right time: "The bell tower is actually not just a landmark building, it is actually built by the martyrs of the open land to suppress the bell monsters. ”

"Bell monsters, monsters that look like clocks, haven't you heard they're extinct?" Starmark continued to pretend he didn't know anything.

The old prime minister shook his head lightly, "It's just announced that it's extinct, in fact, the bell monster has always been in the village, this monster has a very special body structure, even if it is killed, it will be resurrected after a while, and until now I can't find a way to completely eradicate them, so I can only suppress it in the bell tower." ”

The old prime minister continued: "The heart of the clock is the power core of the entire bell tower, and it is also the soul of the bell tower, and it is the hub for maintaining the energy of the bell tower to suppress the monsters. For hundreds of years, although there are occasionally some monsters in the bell tower, but under the dual control of the caretaker and the heart of the clock, those small fights are under control, but just three years ago, the guard of the clock tower suddenly reported that the heart of the clock was abnormal. ”

Xingji's eyes froze, after all, he is a big thief, he has studied many places, plus he is a disciple of Abner, through the news of several of his senior brothers, especially Andre, he actually knew the true role of the bell tower for a long time, and he also knew that the heart of the clock is not only the power source of the bell tower, but also a treasure to guard the bell tower, otherwise with his temperament, he would have tried to start with the heart of the clock and watch. Although the old prime minister has not said anything abnormal in the heart of the clock, Starmark knows that this matter is definitely very tricky.

So Starmark didn't plan to pretend to be ignorant, and asked directly, "What's wrong?"

The old prime minister glanced left and right to make sure that everyone was normal, and no one could hear his conversation with Starmark, before he spoke: "The heart of the clock... Mutiny. ”

"Mutiny?" Starmark was stunned, he originally guessed that the heart of the clock should be damaged, or the energy was depleted or something like that, but he didn't expect it to be a mutiny, which made Starmark exclaim in his heart, "That thing still has a mind?"

The old prime minister seemed to see the thoughts in Starmark's heart, nodded and said, "As you think, the Heart of the Clock does have a simple mind, because it itself is an alchemy creature created by hundreds of alchemy masters back then. ”

"Isn't the thinking of an alchemical creature very simple, and it will never betray the orders of its master, why would it betray?" Starmark wondered, he still had some knowledge of alchemy creatures.

Common sense says it is. The heart of the clock only has simple thinking, and will only follow the orders left by the person who created it, but the simple thinking also gives the bell monsters suppressed in the bell tower an opportunity, if the speculation is correct, there should be a clock monster who does not know how to integrate into the heart of the clock, replacing the original thinking of the heart of the clock. ”

Hearing this, even Star Scar held his breath, although he didn't know the exact number of monsters suppressed in the middle building, but the information he got also knew that there were definitely more than 10,000 bell monsters suppressed, and if these bell monsters gushed out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Starmark narrowed his eyes: "Then what are you looking for me, I don't have the ability to help you suppress those bell monsters." His displeasure was evident in his voice, not only because Abner was under house arrest, but also because the royal family had known three years ago that something had happened to the clock tower, and why it had not been resolved to this day.

With the old prime minister's ability to observe words and colors, he naturally saw at a glance why Xingji was displeased, he did not have any dissatisfaction with this, but glanced at Xingji with appreciation, in his opinion, this son is not bad-hearted, if it is that kind of selfish person, he will not show this emotion.

Therefore, the old prime minister directly stated the reason: "We found Xiaoyou actually didn't want to make a big move, tens of thousands of monsters suppressed in the bell tower, although we are absolutely sure that it will be suppressed again, but it will take a war, and the end of the war is likely to be the destruction of Alberan." When the time comes, the millions of people in Alberan will be displaced, and that's not what we want to see. So, in the past three years, we have only sent more people to seal the bell tower, and at the same time hired dozens of outstanding alchemists to recreate a new heart of clocks. As long as Xiaoyou's people sneak in and integrate the heart of this clock into the original one, the crisis of the bell tower can be lifted, and the millions of people in Alberan will also be saved from the invasion of war. ”

"Okay, I need to prepare, I'll be here with the falling star in three days, you have my money and the heart of the clock ready. ”

The reason why Starmark did not hesitate was not only because the rhetoric of the displacement of millions of people was too big, but because he had figured out one thing, and the person who asked him to carry out this mission was none other than his teacher Abner. At first, he thought it was the falling star that was to blame, but when the old prime minister said that he would pay for the falling star, the star mark knew that this matter had nothing to do with the falling star, and the other party was obviously trying it with him. And the one who really chose himself should be his teacher Abner, otherwise the royal family would never have chosen him, after all, whether he is famous or powerful, he is not the top column in the country, and there are many more people who can replace him.

And Miller died in order to deal with Abner, and the royal family would never dare to make such a mistake easily, so the only one who could put Abner under house arrest was himself, not to mention Andre and Krell, two important members of the DPRK. Although Starmark didn't know what the teacher's intentions were, since it was Abner's intention, he was willing to choose to comply, even if it was very dangerous.

......

"Traces, back?" The landlady who was in a good mood greeted Starmark.

Starmark just nodded, and without answering, went straight back to his room, still thinking about the heart of the clock, and why his teacher Abner had chosen to go there.

Pushing open the door and entering the rented room, the moment Starmark entered his bedroom, he was stunned for five seconds before he burst out and shouted, "Bastard, which bastard actually stole something to my house!"
