The city lord of the City of Immortality, Cologne Longjeviti, sat at the innermost side of the city lord's hall, looking at Qi Lin with a kind smile.

As an old man who is said to be more than five hundred years old, this city lord is full of majestic vitality.

However, Qi Lone's wolf knight entry "Lonely High" made him keenly aware of the abyss aura on this city lord.

This abyssal aura is extremely hidden, completely covered by the vigorous vitality, I am afraid that no one in this world can discover this abnormality except for a person like Qi Lin who has a special ability to detect evil.

Despite this, Qi Lin still talked to the city lord as usual.

With a smile on his face, the city lord of Cologne said to Qi Lian, "Thank you Mr. Gus for rescuing the caravan that was about to be slaughtered by demons, I wonder if with your amazing skills, you are willing to settle in our Longjeviti and serve me?" ”

As soon as the city lord of Cologne spoke, he said that he wanted to give Qi Lin the right to settle in Longjeviti, and wanted Qi Lin to work for him.

This is obviously a fantasy in Qi Lian's eyes, but it is a great reward for Jepard who is standing on the sidelines.

He moved slightly, and just wanted to persuade Qi Lin to agree immediately.

But Qi Lian's reply was much faster than Jepard's, and he said without hesitation: "I'm sorry, Lord Cologne, I have something to do, and when my business is completed, I will consider your suggestion as soon as possible." ”

The city lord of Cologne was not angry when he heard this, and a look of pity appeared on his face: "Yes, that's a pity, but it's really more important to complete what you have to do, and Longjeviti will always keep the door open for Mr. Gus." ”

The brief audience ended quickly, as the city lord of the super city, Longjeviti did not have much time to communicate with Qi Lone, and after he failed to solicit it, he only arranged for someone to present Qi Lone with a large bag of gold coins to express his gratitude, and politely asked Qi Lone to leave.

Jepard accompanied Qi Lin out of the City Lord's Hall, looked at Qi Lin suspiciously, and asked, "Gus, countless strong people are all vying to be the first to settle in our Longjeviti, but you don't want to be here, why?" ”

Qi Lin smiled: "Everyone has things that must be done at each stage, and after those things are completed, I will consider this suggestion." ”

Soon, the two parted ways.

After returning to the hotel in the carriage arranged by Jepard, Qi Lin immediately returned to his room and closed the door.

He sat down at the table, gently shaking the bell as his senses turned on to make sure no one around could hear him.

Soon, Lani's elegant voice came out: "What's the matter, Qi Lian, at this point in time, you should already be in Longjeviti, right?" ”

Qi Lin said softly: "I have indeed settled down, I want to ask you about something this time." ”

Lani said lightly, "You want to ask, what is the matter with this Lonjeviti's extraordinary vitality, right?" ”

Qi Lin paused slightly: "It turns out that Teacher Lani knows such an abnormality?" ”

"That's nature." The other side answered extremely quickly. "Even, the Witch Society has also investigated the reasons for this, although due to the lack of manpower, it is difficult for the witch to enter the city and other reasons, but it is still somewhat useful."

"Can you tell me?" Qi Lin didn't say much nonsense.

"What? Mr. Qi Lin wants to be chivalrous? Lani's voice was indifferent, but inexplicably a little relieved.

Qi Lin said seriously: "I am very sensitive to the aura of the abyss, and that city lord has this aura hidden in his body. ”

"The Abyss." Lani's voice became serious: "Are you sure? ”

After receiving Qi Lian's categorical reply, Lani quickly said: "I thought it was just a fallen city lord who was suspected of using forbidden arts, but I didn't expect it to have an affair with the abyss. ”

She quickly continued: "There are nine most vibrant locations in this city, and according to the relationship between these nine locations, the Witch Society has compared many texts, and finally clarified one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Qi Lin knew that he was about to learn some kind of truth.

"The Circle of Life." The witch uttered a peculiar term.

"What is the Circle of Life Circulation?" Qi Lin expressed his doubts.

This time, Lani did not answer his question immediately, but began to tell Qi Lin a fictional story.

That story takes place in a fictional megacity – the City of Plenty.

She said that the capital of bounty is a megacity with a large population, abundant products, and a geographical location at the core hub of the kingdom.

It has a vast land and hundreds of thousands of people who live happily on it.

In this city, the lord of the city is working hard, the people are prosperous, there is no strife, there is no friction, and the demands of all are satisfied.

Most of them don't even produce at all, they only need a very small labor force, and the output is enough to feed the entire city.

One day, a brave man set foot in this city.

He was both pleased with the richness of the city and bitter at the same time by something else.

He saw a cage in the most hidden corner of this glamorous city, in a dirty, stinking, maggot-infested alley.

In the cage, there was a small, blind, stinky, gray-haired child.

The boy was eating stinking swill, which the dogs didn't eat, and his body was covered with disgusting sores, and he let out a low cry of despair day and night, but no one paid attention to it.

How can a brave man see this, he will immediately break the cage to save people.

At this time, the city lord stood up and said to the brave.

The city's wealth and the happiness of its hundreds of thousands of residents come at a price.

The price is the child in this cage.

As long as the child endures these pains and torments in this cage, the people of the whole city will have a fairyland-like life accordingly.

When children eat bad food, the land of the city continues to grow good vegetables and fruits.

When a child suffers a terrible illness, the whole city will be free from the disease.

When children cry and cry in despair day and night, people will be at peace, free from friction and strife.

And if the brave man breaks this cage and frees this child, then the whole city will no longer have anything to do with the word "rich".

Abundant land will return to barrenness, and there will be no additional harvest even if it is cultivated carefully.

All kinds of ailments will berain the residents themselves.

People will no longer be calm and easily satisfied, but will become calculating, frictional, and even crime and war.

When the time comes, it will no longer be one person who will suffer, but these tens of millions.

"Brave, knowing this, do you still want to break this cage?"

Lani's last sentence seemed to imitate the city lord asking the brave.

But it was more like asking Qi Lin directly.

Qi was silent for a long time, and his voice was cold to the bone.

"Tell me, where are those nine locations?"
