……

The sun is slanting to the west, and the halo is soft.

It was already evening, and Xu Mu had fallen asleep and woken up for seven years, but there was still no trace of Alfheim.

Xu Mu rubbed his sleepy eyes and stretched his waist at will, so he found a craggy strange city below, the architectural style was very simple and dilapidated, there were very few high-rises, and it was covered by a pale yellow fog and sand.

"This is the last human town in Tu City, before Alfheim." Xu Mu looked at the map carefully, then turned his head to look at Qi Qi and asked, "Do you want to go down and rest?" ”

"Haven't we been resting?" Qi Qi lay comfortably in his fur and gently patted the back of the three-eyed golden lion below with his paws, "Hey, are you tired?" ”

The three-eyed Jin below heard Qi Qi asking him, and the hair on his body suddenly stood up in fear, he wanted to answer tired, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only let out a low roar of grievance.

"I've been injured and flown for seven days and seven nights, and I should be tired."

Xu Mu rubbed the three-eyed golden lion's crystal-like hair with two fingers, and then pointed to Ye Que who was tied up on the ground and said with a smile:

"You can't take this guy with you to Alfheim, I see that there seems to be a branch of the Hunter Alliance stationed here in this city, so give him to them."

Qiqi blinked, signaling that he had no opinion.

"Let's go down." Xu Mu said with a smile, so the three-eyed golden lion suddenly accelerated, and led the group to land towards the Tucheng below.

The distance is getting closer and closer, the outline of Tucheng is getting clearer and clearer, Xu Mu is in mid-air, you can clearly see the architectural layout of Tucheng, here is intricate, there are small lanes everywhere, and those who buy and sell carts to transport grain are all superpowers.

They slowly landed on a wide street, which was similar to Black Corner City, full of supernatural beings and mount demons, so their arrival did not attract too much attention, but the power exuded by the three-eyed golden lion was faintly eye-catching.

"Get out of the way, no mounts are allowed here." As soon as he landed, before Xu Mu could study which way to go, he heard a female voice nearby, but he turned his head and looked around for a long time, but he didn't find who the source of the sound was.

"Down there." The woman's voice was slightly angry, and then Xu Mu lowered his head, and saw a woman with a sword wearing plain clothes and long braids.

"Sorry, we're not familiar with this place, how do you get to the Hunter Alliance's branch?" Xu Mu jumped down from the back of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and asked with a smile and a fist at the woman's three meters away.

"Hunter Alliance, what are you going to do?" The woman probed Xu Mu up and down, and then asked with some vigilance.

"This ...... It's not convenient to say, but in short, there is something. Xu Mu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.

The plain-clothed woman with a sword looked suspicious, and then pointed to the incense and candle shop behind her and said:

"This is the Hunters Alliance."

"My name is Le Lingyun, I am the owner of this shop, and I am also the deputy leader of the branch of the Hunter Alliance, do you have anything to do with us?"

Xu Mu was stunned, and then lifted Ye Que off the back of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with one hand, and said with a smile on his face:

"Let's talk about it in detail."

……

In the incense and candle shop, Xu Mu and Le Lingyun sat opposite each other.

"That's the case, that's probably it."

Xu Mu drank a cup of tea and spoke in a calm voice:

"This Ye is really difficult to deal with, so I want to ask you to keep it for me for three months, if I don't come back after three months, you will release it to him, and I will bear all the expenses incurred during this period."

Le Lingyun looked at Ye Que, who was tied up on the ground and gagged, and his willow-like eyes flashed with a little surprise.

"People from the Ye family, you dare to tie it up."

"Although the city of Figures is

No matter what the area, the Ye family's hand can't reach here, but after all, it's too close, and it is not easy to risk offending the Ye family. ”

Le Lingyun's tone was flat, with a little hesitation, if it was somewhere else, she would definitely take this order without hesitation, but in this Tu City, the forces of their Hunter Alliance are really not enough, maybe this Ye Que waved his arm, and a good force would squeeze his head to save him.

This potato is too hot.

"It's not easy to do, but it can be done." Xu Mu rubbed his hands together and smiled, and then took out a blue-pink handkerchief from his arms, with a cloud character embroidered on it.

"I am an old acquaintance with a stranger in your alliance, and this is a token given to me, saying that he who sees it, as if she were there."

Xu Mu said, handed the handkerchief to Le Lingyun, who took it and looked at it carefully, and then after seeing the word "cloud", his face changed suddenly:

"This is the handkerchief of the Northwest Cloud Lord!"

"How did you have this!"

"I said, I'm old friends with her." Xu Mu thought of what happened in the grotto, and coughed a few times with a somewhat abnormal expression.

"Since he is a friend of the Cloud Commander, even if he risks the destruction of the branch, this thing must be done." Le Lingyun solemnly handed the handkerchief back to Xu Mu, who nodded with a smile, and then spoke:

"I will still give the money, and I can't let you do it in vain."

"The tendons and veins on this Ye Que's body have been blocked by me, and the injury is not too serious, just don't let him die, just lock him up for three months."

Le Lingyun nodded, then pointed to the three-eyed golden lion standing outside the house, and asked with some sadness:

"And what about it?"

"We have limited space, this guy, it's a little too big."

"Can you be smaller?" Xu Mu asked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and soon after, he saw a small yellow tiger the size of Qi Qi.

"It's ...... Where. At this time, Ye Que also slowly woke up, Le Lingyun's face was solemn, and he was grateful to cover his face with a veil, not wanting to be seen clearly, Xu Mu saw this, and immediately slapped his palm, and knocked him unconscious.

"Do you see her face clearly?" Xu Mu turned his head and looked at the miniature version of the three-eyed golden lion.

The latter's head shook like a rattle, and then, very interestingly, he fainted.

Le Lingyun was dumbfounded.

"What the hell have you done to it, so listen to you."

"Just kicked it twice." Xu Mu raised his eyebrows slightly and replied with a smile.

"That's it, I'll take the two of them to the dungeon, and let them go after three months, and the money will be gone, and I don't make much money from this incense and candle shop, but it's enough to spend." Le Lingyun waved his hand and said magnificently.

When Xu Mu heard this, he was not polite, and he clenched his fists and said:

"Thank you."

"I have one more thing, when I first arrived, do you know the news of the elven kingdom in the forbidden land, in Alfheim?"

"What's not to know about this, aren't the people who come here all going for it?" Le Lingyun said in a flat tone, "It's just that no one has ever found it, and there are rumors that most of the clues found are just groundless, and everyone is the same." ”

Xu Mu was stunned: "How do you say this?" ”

"Recently, there has been a theft in the city of Tu at night, and he not only steals treasures, but also sucks the spirit of the monks, which makes many people hate him to the core, but they have not been able to find him after digging three feet into the ground for several days."

"So, the only strangers who had ever met the thief spread the rumor that the person who stole was not a human, but an elf, and you said it was not ridiculous."

Le Lingyun said in a flat tone, she didn't believe that there were any elves in this world at all, and even if there were, that thing didn't stay in the elven kingdom of Alfheim, what was it doing stealing things from their town?

"And that kind of thing." When Xu Mu heard this, he thought for a moment and kept this matter in his heart.

"Well, you just came here, and you are not familiar with it, but you will know it later, there are many such things, but in the end, it is often found that it is artificial, and I believe this time is no exception." Le Lingyun said, tied up a roll of incense candles and handed it to Xu Mu:

"This is my special incense candle, it has a wayfinding marker, there are frequent sandstorms around here, and they are much more terrifying than the other ones, if you are unfortunate enough to get lost in them, you will be able to use them."

"Don't thank me, it's for the sake of the Cloud Commander's face."

Hearing this, Xu Mu smiled and nodded and took the candle and said:

"In that case, I won't bother much, and when I find a post station to settle down and settle down, I will bother you more in the future."

"When you go out and walk south, you can see a post station called Qingyun, just stay there, the price is cheap." Le Lingyun said, naturally pulling up Xu Mu's sleeve and stepping over the threshold to guide the way.

Xu Mu didn't pay much attention to the act of pulling his sleeves, after all, Le Lingyun was not a family lady like Yu Leyao, a person in the rivers and lakes, it was normal to fight and kill, and not be informal.

But the two of them don't care, but some do.

"Let her go!" An angry male voice sounded behind him, Xu Mu raised his eyebrows, and then instantly took a step back to the side, dodging the man's outstretched palm.

"Ma Chuan, why did you come back so early today and didn't check the news of the elf?" Le Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"Hehe, still Chalaosh Elf, if I don't come back, you're about to let people run away!" The young man named Ma Chuan roared coldly, glared at Xu Mu, and saw that his face was a sallow yellow face that had been tortured by wind and frost, and he was burly, and he was alive and well as a man in the rivers and lakes.

"You're mistaken, we're just friends." Hearing this, Le Lingyun frowned and said lightly, "And I and you are just working together, who I was abducted, it seems that it is not your turn to care." ”

"I'm mad, I'm mad!" Ma Chuan was choked by Le Lingyun's words, but he couldn't do anything about her, he was incompetent and angry for a long time, and then found Xu Mu standing aside.

"Boy, I'm telling you, you'd better stay away from her, otherwise you won't have good fruit to eat!"

Ma Chuan grabbed Xu Mu's collar, his body was full of blood, and his eyes widened and shouted.

Seeing this, Le Lingyun's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly came up and pulled Ma Chuan away: "You let go, this is Yun ......"

"Listen to you, if there is really something, I will come less." Xu Mu interrupted Le Lingyun's words and said with a faint smile at Ma Chuan.

"You'd better be like this!" The young man snorted coldly, and walked into the incense and candle shop without looking back, leaving an indignant back.

"I'm sorry, he's like this, and he may have been a little dizzy because of the elf's business recently." Le Lingyun explained apologetically.

"It's okay, I don't suggest it, and the matter with the cloud leader, please keep it secret, I want to keep it low-key."

Xu Mu said mysteriously, and Le Lingyun also nodded when he heard this, blinking to show that he understood clearly.

"Okay, then I'll go to Qingyun Inn first, see you later."

Xu Mu said, picked up the tanuki cat-sized Qiqi, and slowly walked in the direction that Le Lingyun pointed him out.

On the street, under the sunset, Qi Qi licked his paws and said lazily:

"You've got a good temper."

"Hades is easy to provoke, and the little ghost is difficult."

Xu Mu smiled faintly, like a person like Ma Chuan, with a small belly, he can avoid it, and he just came to Tucheng, and he didn't want to offend people.

After a while, Xu Mu walked into the Qingyun Inn with Qiqi in his arms.

He looked at Xiao Er, who greeted him, and said with a slight smile:

"If you live in a hotel, you want the best room."
