Chapter 55: Stop

"Pigeons?"

In the City Lord's Mansion office, Levi sat behind his desk and raised his eyebrows.

Thea looked at him, "What? ”

"Ahem, it's nothing, you go on."

Xiya nodded: "I made an appointment to sell witches to several cities to us, and basically found all kinds of reasons to start prevaricating, some said that they would have a meeting to discuss, and some said that witches were strategic resources of the empire and could not be traded casually......"

"In the end, there are only three cities that are willing to sell the witch, two of which are already 'delivering', and one is doing the resignation and handover procedures of the witch."

At the end, there was a hint of mockery in Thea's eyes.

Every witch has dedicated her youth and life to protect the city, and in the end, she is actually treated as a commodity in exchange for a little surplus value.

Fortunately, the place where they were sold was Silver Collar, and the person who bought them was Levi.

For them, their unfortunate lives can finally come to an end.

Levi took the document in Thea's hand.

After looking at the contents, he scoffed.

"It's too classic, these three cities are all anti-ministers, and most of those who break the contract are hiding under the protection of the minister."

"My little silver collar, how can he become a chessboard for the bigwigs?"

Xiya narrowed her eyes and smiled like a little fox: "I'm afraid that there are thorns on this chessboard and the chess player's hand will be pricked." ”

Levi shrugged.

He was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed a paragraph in the report.

"Wait a minute...... Long Xiang Ling's pigeon is also a pigeon? Isn't the witch of his family dying? What's the use of keeping it? ”

For the witch led by Long Xiang, Li Wei is still more concerned.

The witch of Long Xiangling, whose name is Daia, is a powerful witch who is famous throughout the empire, just like Lilith.

There are rumors that Daiya's strength can rank among the top three in the empire.

According to Levi's understanding of these witches in the empire, even if Deya can't be in the top three, at least she is in the top five.

Such a powerful witch who is not far from being "scrapped", he has been coveting it for a long time.

When he wrote a letter before, he specially sent one to Long Xiangling, hoping that the other side could sell Daiya to him.

For this reason, he offered a very high price, and even pasted all the money he brought from the royal capital.

And Long Xiangling did respond and was willing to talk about the deal.

The lord of this city, Levi, who had also investigated before, was definitely not a lackey of the minister.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the other party will break the contract......

Thea leaned over to take a look, then sighed.

"I know this place, the reason why they were willing to sell it before was because the king had given them a new witch, and the witch Daiya was about to end her term of office and be retired."

"However, a few days ago, Wang Du suddenly informed them that the witch who had been sent over by appointment had to postpone her departure for half a month due to physical reasons."

"Probably because of this, Long Xiangling temporarily changed his hexagram."

"Anyway, aren't these all in the report I sorted out for you before, dare to ...... Lord Levi, you didn't even look at it? ”

In the end, Xia's eyes were fierce.

Levi was stunned.

In this case, it is understandable that Long Xiangling temporarily changed his mind.

After casually dealing with Thea, he looked at Lilith, who was sitting next to her reading a book.

"Lilith, have you seen Deya?"

Hearing this, Lilith turned her head to look at him.

The girl took out a bookmark and put it in the book, and closed it gently.

"Yes, two years ago, I went to Wangdu to attend a study meeting and had contact with her once."

Two years ago......

At that time, Levi was still studying at Red Dragon University and did not join the Witch Executive Board, otherwise his acquaintance with Lilith might have been earlier.

He was a little curious: "If you were asked to compete with Deya, who would win?" ”

Lilith thought for a moment.

"If it had been two years ago, she was better than me, I am not an opponent."

"Now...... Although I don't know how much stronger she has become, I am confident that I will not lose to her. ”

Looking at Lilith's determined gaze, Levi smiled, "I believe in you." ”

"Me too! Me too! Thea hurriedly spoke, "Actually, I wanted to say it before Levi, but his mouth was faster than mine......"

Levi scoffed, giving Thea a disdainful look.

He was about to put away the documents in his hand, but he suddenly thought of something and frowned.

"Wait a minute...... Dragon Xiang Ling, located in the southern part of the empire, guards the Dragonspine Grand Canyon and is the largest non-border fortress in the empire. ”

"In that place, although the frequency of battles is not as high as that of the border, the monsters to deal with are all hard goods from the canyon."

"Normally, it's not too much for Long Xiangling to be equipped with five witches, why is there only one Daiya now?"

Hearing this, Xiya was slightly stunned.

In the next second, a terrible thought suddenly came to mind.

"What do you mean......"

Li Wei narrowed his eyes: "The minister's next target is likely to be Long Xiangling!" ”

After thinking about it, he stood up: "Let's go, go to the conference room, and let Tina go and call the witch's hand." ”

…………

……

Silver Collar, City Lord's Mansion.

Levi, Lilith, Thea, and the four witches of the Witch's Hand sat around the table.

After listening to Levi's analysis, Erin showed a solemn expression.

"You must notify Long Xiangling as soon as possible!"

Ollie said in a bit of a hurry.

"How? Tell them that the minister wants to kill his witch and let them hide the witch and never send her out to fight? ”

Thea narrowed her eyes and mocked the black-skinned witch.

Ollie blinked, stupefied.

Li Wei said slowly: "Not to mention how Long Xiang Ling wants to deal with it, just how to make them believe is a problem...... No normal person would believe that the minister would dare to destroy the empire's cities for his own interests. ”

"Since ancient times, territory has been the biggest bottom line of a country, no matter how powerful the minister is, in ordinary thinking, he will not be crazy enough to joke about territory."

"And when the victim realizes that the minister doesn't care about it, it's too late."

Hearing this, Erin hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "I have a friend who should be able to contact Long Xiangling, and I will ask her for help as soon as possible, so that she can warn Long Xiangling." ”

"Roar...... Your friend is really powerful. ”

Levi raised an eyebrow.

Erin showed a somewhat reluctant smile: "It's just a coincidence......"

Levi didn't ask about the identity of this friend, after all, he called Erin over, and the biggest purpose was to try if she could contact Long Xiangling by some means.

Being able to notify Long Xiangling through Erin has achieved the goal, and there is no need to make extraneous branches in a short period of time.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, he continued: "Just notifying Long Xiangling will not solve the problem. ”

"We need to take the initiative and stop the minister's plan."

"Although I don't know how the minister is going to use the power of depravity, there is no doubt that if you don't stop him now, sooner or later, sooner or later, the minister's blade will fall on the silver collar again!"
