"I want to ask, has there been any major events that have happened in this multifaceted country recently?" asked Rakuten.

"It doesn't seem to be there lately. However, a few years ago, the king of our country suddenly fell ill with a strange disease, and the royal doctors in the court were helpless against this disease. In the end, the king had no choice but to post a reward and look for people from the rivers and lakes to come to heal. But what happened after that was a bit unbelievable, his condition suddenly improved, and it didn't take long for him to recover. However, there are some rumors circulating among the people, saying that the original king is dead, and now this king is a puppet, saying that he is a monster wearing human skin. But this is only speculation, and I have seen it up close during one of the king's outings, and it is not what they say. And judging from his words, deeds and demeanor, he was no different from the original king. But I don't think it has anything to do with your brother's incident, so I didn't say it. ”

"Well, there's something strange about it. Although this incident is far from my brother's arrest in terms of time, I always have a gut feeling that what you said about this incident has something to do with my brother. We'd better use this as a breakthrough tomorrow. "Lotte always felt in his heart that this incident was likely to be a breakthrough and could bring him one step closer to the truth. After thinking about this, Lotte and Wenxi lay down early, ready for tomorrow's search.

......

The next day, Wen Xi and Lotte walked out of the door early, and the two of them stood at the door, neatly dressed and with serious expressions, it seemed that they were paying special attention to today's search.

"Then let's start searching now. I'll start from the west of the city, and you will start from the east of the city, and you will meet here after dark!" Lotte pointed to the east and west sides of the road.

"Yes, I see. Wen Xi nodded and said.

"Be careful, stop and inform me as soon as you encounter something, and don't get yourself in danger. Your self-protection ability is too poor, why don't you call me to solve the problem. Although Lotte knew that the clues he found at the first time were the most timely to follow up at the first time, and if he came back to inform him, those people might have already moved their positions. But Lotte still doesn't want Wen Xi to follow up, letting such a person who is not a cultivator follow up is not only likely to startle the snake, but also lose Wen Xi's own life in vain.

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about me. I've lived here since I was a child. If I wanted to go, no one could stop me. It's you, a stranger. Even if you are strong, if you get lost in the alley in battle, you will definitely be outflanked by the master after a while, and you will feel better when you are attacked on your back. Wen Xi reminded.

"Don't worry, I won't be discovered, and I won't be lost. ”

"Yes, that's good. Be careful, I'm leaving. ”

"Be careful. So saying, the two men walked in opposite directions. The two men quickly disappeared into the crowd.

......

Wen Xi suddenly stopped walking, looked back and forth, left and right, and saw that no one was following him, so he suddenly turned into a dark alley. Wen Xi walked very carefully towards the depths of the alley, came to a dilapidated wooden door and stopped, raised his right hand and made a series of rapid knocks, and then ended with three slow knocks, after which the alley returned to calm. Suddenly, an old and hoarse voice came from the wooden door: "All brothers in the four seas!"

"Brothers are all dedicated!" Wen Xi replied quickly. Just after Wen Xi finished answering the code words, the wooden door suddenly 'creaked' open, and Wen Xi quickly ran into the wooden door with a dodge. The room was very dim, with only a few candles in the corners illuminating the house.

"Welcome, my brother!" said an old man under a linen cloak to Bunki. The old man's entire facial features were hidden under the cloak, and the room was so dark and unusual that it was impossible to see his face at all.

After hearing this, Wen Xi folded his hands and leaned down slightly to return the salute to the old man reverently.

"Is there anything important that I need help with this time?" asked the old man with some eagerness.

"I have come here to ask about the king's critical illness a few years ago. ”

"I'm sorry my brother, but you can't ask about this, and telling you that not only will it not help you, but it will probably put you in danger. ”

"But my friend desperately needs to know the truth about it. ”

"Are you talking about the little friend of the Sword Sect who lives in your house?"

"Well, yes, his brother is about to be beheaded, this matter is very important to him, and it is very likely to affect his rescue plan. ”

"That's what he asked? Well, brother, wait for me here, I'll go and ask my superiors about it, and then I will answer." So saying, the old man walked into a dark bedroom, and the whole figure disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing this, Wen Xi found a wooden chair and sat down, he had come to this room three times, but each time he came, he felt mysterious. In the center of this room there is a four-corner wooden table, on the wooden table is placed an incense burner, above the incense burner are the two secret words between Wen Xi and the old man, above the code words are three golden characters 'Brotherhood'! Yes, Wen Xi is a member of the Brotherhood, and this time I came to borrow the power of the Brotherhood to find out the unsolved case of the king's strange illness a few years ago.

......

It didn't take long for the old man to come out of the back room, but at this time, there was another person behind the old man, who also hid his figure under the cloak, so that Wen Xi could not see his face clearly. The man walked up to Wen Xi and said, "Welcome, my brother! I have a few questions for you, first of all, are you the one who took in Lotte?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Well, how is he now?"

"Lotte's injuries are now healed, but his heart disease is getting worse and worse. ”

"Heart disease? ”

"His heart disease is not his brother, now he is annoyed every day, blaming his brother for being arrested, waking up every night by nightmares, and several times self-harming, but fortunately, it is controlled in time, otherwise he would probably be dead. ”

"Hey, confused, everything is fate! The mysterious man shook his head and said: "Actually, the Brotherhood is also here because it is secretly investigating the sudden recovery of the king of the multifaceted country, but what I didn't expect is that in this small secular country, there are so many masters hidden, so that our actions have been hindered until we meet Lotte's brother." With that, he placed a scroll in front of Wenxi.

"It's all he wants to know, and remember to destroy it when you're done. We'll be getting out of here soon. ”
