The wooden planks are the pillars of the building, and the interior is made of bricks, which is large, airy, and comfortable, and can effectively isolate the noise outside, making it a good environment for quiet reading.

As soon as the three of them entered, they saw rows of towering large bookcases standing next to each other, and the books piled up on the side were still covered with dust accumulated in the underground stacks, because they had just been built, there was not even a single book on the bookcase.

At this time, Ulfinn was holding several stacks of books and trying to put them into the towering bookcase, but he was not tall enough to stand on tiptoe and arrange them in an orderly manner.

Looking inside, Douglas was wiping down every table top and chair, and was very engaged in cleaning, while Beamo was in charge of replacing the dirty water for Douglas.

It seems that Douglas really likes to read.

When he proposed to the three village chiefs to build a library, Douglas, who was eavesdropping outside, was so excited that he broke through the paper door and was scolded by Darcis.

"Mr. Ulfin, Mr. Billmore, Master Fortes has come to inspect it."

Kurt's reminder frightened Ulfin into a stumbling stumble, and all the books rained down on her. Douglas was so frightened that he kicked down the bucket at his feet, but fortunately Bimo reacted quickly and caught it in time without causing a big disaster.

"Ah——, Ulfin, are you alright?"

Wu was worried and concerned, and Ulfen endured the pain, barely scurryed out of the stack, and said with a wry smile:

"I didn't ...... It's okay, I'm sorry, Master Forts, for making you smile. ”

"No, seeing that you are working so hard, do you need my help with Kui Yong?"

"Ahhh This kind of rough work is good to do, absolutely no problem, please rest assured! ”

Looking at Ulfin, who was covered by a pile of books, Wu's heart was full of unease.

"Yes...... Douglas and Billmore, do you need help?"

Douglas was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a long time, so he had to get Billo to respond:

"Don't worry, Mr. Fortes, we can do it."

"Yes. Then we won't bother you. ”

"Where's the word?"

Although he was a little worried about Ulfin and Douglas, if he went to help, I was afraid that it would make him even more uncomfortable....... Anyway, with the help of Beama, I'll trust them for now.

After walking out of the library, Wu said to Kurt:

"I'll take a look at the hospital when it's built, and I might have to trouble you for now."

"Please."

"I hope that you and the Night Pavilion will screen five candidates with basic medical standards within three days, regardless of race or gender, and hopefully at least twenty years old. These five people must reach a basic level within a month to be able to detect the cause. ”

"Yes. I'll do it. ”

"Well, then your inspection in this district is over, go get busy."

"Yes, please walk slowly."

After leaving the library, the preoccupied Wu did not leave the area of the snake people immediately, but slowly sat under the shade of the tree on the side, looking at the sky in a daze.

"Master Fortes, now that the inspection is over, what are your plans next?"

"Well, let's go back to the Celestial Serpent camp and talk to Darcy and Itri about what we can do to revive the village's economy."

That's right, I'm more sure now that although there has been a significant improvement in all kinds of standards here, no matter what, there is no way to continue to improve without money.

Although all the building materials and raw materials are now created by the "material magic" of Longensmu, Longensmu does not stay in the village all the time, and considering that alliances with other villages or countries will be required in the future, the necessary political funds are still indispensable.

"Well——, Lord Fortes, can you allow Kuiyong to make an opinion?"

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"Thank you, sir. I think if you talk to Nine Dogs, maybe he'll be willing to help you. ”

"Nine Dogs!?"

By the way, there is also this person, I haven't heard this person's name for a month, and I almost forgot it.

As an underground bank in the Kingdom of Einck, his wealth can certainly help and even become our treasury.

However, although he has helped us to revitalize the economy, I really don't want to see him, after all, he is a good friend of gluttony, and I don't know him at all.

However, it was also thanks to him that he was able to take over all the slum families to support them, and even allowed all their debts to be written off.

Since it's already this extraordinary period, you can only gamble.

"Welcome——! My good brother. ”

The stench of his body became stronger and stronger as Jiugou Luo approached, and he opened his hands full of fat and garbage, and greeted Wu's arrival with joy.

Looking around, the smell of waste metal and the smell of corpses were mixed together, and his nose was about to be smoked, the corpses of insects and animals on the ground were crawling with maggots, mosquitoes were scattered around, and the drainage holes around him were constantly dripping with colorful sewage, which should be the worst environment he had ever seen in his life.

I thought that the environment in the slum was bad enough, but I didn't expect that compared to here, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Endure this pungent stench, Wu could only hold his breath and maintain a wry smile, pretending to be calm and said:

"It's been a long time, you helped me so much last time, I can't say thank you if I don't come back to thank you."

"Ah, how long have you known each other, why be so polite, besides, it's already great good news that I'm able to meet you, and I don't need to thank anything, ahahahaha——。"

At this time, Kurt on the side also stopped behind Wu, bowed respectfully to Jiugou Luo and greeted him simply.

"Mr. Nine Dogs, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I am here to greet you."

"Hahahaha, Kote, you're still so polite."

"Where's the word?"

Dressed in a clean and restrained environment, Kurt can still maintain a gentlemanly posture and a steady tone, and his expression is also very natural to talk to Jiugou Luo, not caring about the harsh environment at all.

Nine Dog Luo smiled wickedly and looked at Wu and Kurt in front of him, and then gestured casually to the two of them to sit on the L-shaped sofa he had prepared.

Although the skin of the sofa is in tatters, and the cotton has even been blown out of the holes, there is not a trace of oil or garbage, and this sofa should be the cleanest compared to this harsh environment.

"Kotea, let me have a chat with my good brother first."

"Please."

Nine Dog Luo smiled fiercely to express his gratitude to Kurt, and then turned his gaze to Wu beside Kurt.

"Gluttony, I really didn't expect to see you in my lifetime, I'm so lucky."

"......, it's nothing. By the way, I learned from Kui Yong's mouth that you seem to have your own power in the Kingdom of Eynke, can you tell me what you have been doing in the past few years? ”

"Oh——, I'm going to get some loans just to make ends meet, and then I'm going to get on good terms with some of the nobles in Ainke to ensure all my transactions and the expansion ......of my connections, and that's pretty it."

"yes, that means you're pretty familiar with those nobles, right?"

"Of course, whether it is secret information, funds or even weapons, it is inseparable from me."

At this point, Wu listened with a seemingly expressionless face, but his eyes kept flashing with hope, and the key information successfully aroused Wu's interest.

- Secret information!? In this case, maybe this fat man in front of him has a chance to know the inside story about assassinating himself.

However, he can't urgently show the appearance of seeking questions, after all, the man in front of him is not familiar with him, and if he accidentally touches his scales, he will be quite troublesome.

Swallowing his saliva and pondering the words in his mind, Wu asked in a tactful tone:

"So what's the 'interesting' secret information lately?"

"Interesting...... you?"

Rolling his round eyes, deep thinking breath erupted from his nostrils, and the corners of his mouth pursed were proof of Jiugou Luo's efforts to recall.

After a moment of silence, Jiugou Luo withdrew the corners of his mouth and said with a frown:

"Interesting—not really. But you made a mess of the prison last month, and you took Fellomar hostage, and the ministers seem nervous. ”

"Is it because Pheromar was taken hostage?"

"No, you took a terrible person from prison."

That awesome character must be referring to Tyre.

The ministers' reaction only made Wu more certain of his previous suspicions, that Tyre was just a small warden, and that being held hostage would not be enough to make the high-ranking officials worry. After it was determined that Tyre was accused, this also indirectly showed that the culprit who killed him also included the ministers of the palace, and there was more than one.

If you want to find out the murderer in the palace, you must lead out the culprit through Jiugou Luo, but before that, you have to establish a good cooperative relationship with Jiugou Luo.

Staring at Wu who was thinking seriously, Jiugou Luo, who was round and round, held his belly and cocked Erlang's legs, looked at Wu with playful eyes, and suddenly diverted the topic and proposed:

"Since you and the other six gods have been resurrected, why don't you take advantage of the time to overthrow the Kingdom of Aynk, and I will help you."

"Overthrow!?"

Even Wu, who has always been calm, could not hide his slight shock, he didn't know Jiugou Luo, only knew that there was an extraordinary relationship between him and gluttony, because of the mystery of Jiugou Luo, so that these seemingly joking words came out of his mouth without the slightest hypocrisy.

But this is too impulsive, why do you suddenly want to overthrow the Einke Kingdom, obviously you rely on the Einke Kingdom to earn a lot of money, do you want to break this beautiful comfort without permission?

Wu was stunned in his seat and couldn't speak for a long time, Jiugou Luo was able to make a shocking proposal so easily, and this ruthless aura made Wu seem a little at a loss.

If there are other proposals, you can still consider them, but the kingdom of Aynk, which is cherished by my father, must not be easily destroyed.

Wu adjusted his breathing and replied calmly:

"No——, I'm not interested in the current Aynk Kingdom, and I can overthrow it at any time, but I don't have the plan to do so now."

"Oh-"

Jiugou Luo's eyes became sharper and sharper, and Wu inevitably turned his eyes nervously to avoid Jiugou Luo's gaze.

Soon after, Jiugou Luo laughed, his fat body fell back, sat on the sofa in a big shape, and said with a smile:

"I'm just joking, if you agree, I'm really troubled, hahahaha!"

Knowing that he was being teased, he was very unfamiliar with everything about Jiugou Luo, and he knew that before meeting him, he pulled down his face and asked the six gods euphemistically, so that he could deal with the difficult fat man in front of him.

However, he never expected that Jiugou Luo, who was friends with the legendary evil god, was even more serious than he imagined, not only did he speak with a beginning and no end, but his tone and words were also beyond imagination.

At the same time, a whisper sounded in Wu's head, and he was complaining to Wu very dissatisfied.

"Boy, did you think for a moment that I was as headless as Jiugou Luo?"

"Huh!? Nix, you don't peek into my mind. ”

"Damn, I gave you power, but you belittle me like this, I am a different level of existence than this dead fat man in front of you."

"Different levels of existence? Do you know Nine Dogs? ”

"No, I don't know. It should be said that Jiugou Luo is just his pseudonym, and like the name of the six gods, it is a nickname that does not exist in the historical records, if you tell me the real name and true face of Jiugou Luo, maybe I have met with him. ”

"So, how do you assert that he is of a different rank than you?"

According to legend, Tao Tao has dealt with different species in his life, not only gods——, dragons, elves, monsters and even humans, Tao Tao is not as cruel as he imagined, but it is not a simple friendship relationship. The ones who will make friends with gluttony are usually not normal kinds, or they are experiments that gluttony is interested in. ”

"So you mean, isn't the Nine Dog Luo in front of you necessarily a god?"

"Of course, but judging from the power I feel on him, it is indeed quite close to the existence of a god, which means that I do not rule out the speculation that Jiugou Luo is a god."

"I see, I have a general understanding."

Wu was talking to Nix in his consciousness, but he didn't notice it when he was focusing on the conversation, and Jiugou Luo was silent, looking at Wu with a smile on his face, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride.

At this time, Jiugou Luo suddenly turned his gaze to Kurt and said:

"By the way, Kurt, I have some personal matters that I would like to talk to your glutton-sama, can you borrow your glutton-sama for me?"

"Uh......, this one."

Kurt was a little speechless, after all, he didn't have the right to make decisions for gluttony, so he looked at Wu beside him with some embarrassment.

Wu didn't have any opinions, besides, this Jiugou Luo seemed to be crazy, but he could feel that there seemed to be some hidden cards in this crazy skin.

"Well, Kurt, you can go back first. Wait for half an hour and then open the space to come and pick me up. ”

"Yes."

Kurt stood up and bowed to the two of them, and teleported back to the snake clan camp alone through space.

As soon as the space was closed, Jiugou Luo changed his previous crazy smile, and his eyes that had already seen through everything looked at Wu on the side, turning from a crazy smile to a slightly solemn seriousness.

"Okay, so where do I start? Wu - king - son. ”

Wu didn't panic because of the exposure of his identity, but if Jiugou Luo failed to reveal his identity, he might be a little surprised.

"You really know who I am, it's not easy."

"Ahhh Even if the gods who love you to death can't see it, I can see through it casually, who told me to have a friendship with gluttony for nearly a thousand years. Besides, true gluttony never thanked me, which means that your intentions this time have already made me see who you are. ”

Indeed, I had a premonition that gluttony was not an evil god who would say thank you at will, but through the meeting with Jiugou Luo, I was able to better understand and be convinced of what the real gluttony was.

"Jiugou Luo, why do you have such a deep friendship with Glutton?"

Jiugou Luo grinned and said mysteriously:

"I can't say ——,."

Belch...... It's hard enough to get a dead fat man.

As soon as the conversation turned, Jiugou Luo once again showed a rare seriousness, and asked heavily:

"Then again, the warden named Tyre, did you get any information from him?"

The word "Tell" clearly entered Wu's ears, and his eyes suddenly widened in shock, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Why did Nine Dogs know about Tyre's existence? I thought that the information he received was limited to the identity of the "warden", and according to the personality and form of the minister, it was absolutely impossible for the identity of the assassin to be exposed. In other words, it is very likely that Jiugou Luo knew about the assassination plan from the beginning.

Wu's disbelieving expression gave the question perfectly, and Jiugou Luo also regained his weird smile and calmly explained:

"Ah, don't be so surprised, the reason why I know about Tyre is because I have some undercover agents in the palace, and it is reasonable to know this kind of inside information."

"Then ......, how much do you know about my assassination?"

"Well! Unfortunately, all I know is the person who carried out the assassination, which is Tyre. ”

"I see. To be honest, I never thought that Tyre would be so tight-lipped, and on the day of the interrogation, Tyre's mental condition was on the verge of collapse due to Kurt's torture, but in the end, he only said some slightly useful information. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Wu took a deep breath and filled his chest with filthy dirt, forcing himself to recall this memory that made him angry with the strong stench.

"As the executor of the assassination mission, he himself does not know who the mastermind of the mission is, but according to rumors, I heard that it is a nobleman from abroad, and it is really impossible to know which country it is."

"Nobles abroad!? Is it so powerful? ”

"Well, there is also important information, I heard that the criminals who died in the battle that day will be treated as defectors, and the reason for the defection and the location of the defection will no longer be investigated."
