38 False Immortality (Four Watches)
The more angry you are, the more you have to be calm.
Qi Lin admonished himself like this, forcibly forcing himself to suppress his impulses.
He didn't rush to move these poor bodies, nor did he immediately destroy the magic circles carved into the ground and walls.
He slowly closed the heavy door again and exited the room.
He has a couple of things to do right now.
The first is to destroy all the nodes except for the core node of the City Lord's Mansion itself as quickly as possible, before the city lord discovers that something is wrong.
Second, he needs a trustworthy helper with a certain amount of energy to help him rescue those innocents who may exist and have not yet been made into "fuel".
The third is to enter the city lord's mansion in one fell swoop and completely kill the city lord of Cologne, who is already suspected of being an apostle.
***
Late at night, about an hour later.
Jepard felt something wrong in his sleep, and suddenly woke up and sat up.
Then he saw a pitch-black figure standing at the head of the bed.
He just wanted to scold, but suddenly reacted, if the other party wanted to kill him, then he would have died in his dream.
So he calmed down, looked at the figure and asked, "Who are you and what are you going to do?" ”
This figure is naturally Qi Lin wearing a black mask and wearing nocturnal clothes.
He didn't speak, but tossed Jepard a scroll.
Jepard immediately reached out to take it, his attention was only slightly distracted, and when he raised his eyes again, Qi Lin was already gone.
He immediately opened the scroll, revealing a map of nine locations and a short passage.
He skimmed it quickly, his face became extremely solemn, he quickly dressed up, and then immediately left the room.
More than ten minutes later, he rode his horse to the location shown on the map given to him by Qi Lin with the most loyal men in the garrison, and then saw the scene.
The young and upright guard, and the loyal subordinates who were united by his sense of justice, all burst with anger in their eyes.
At this time, Qi Lin had already relied on his superb body to come to the inner castle in the center of Longjeviti City.
With his keen sense of life force, he sneaked his way deep into the inner fort by avoiding all the guards, and soon reached the depths of the inner fort through a spiraling staircase.
Deep underground, there is a small, locked office-like room.
Qi Lin only exerted a slight force, and physically opened the lock of the door of this small room.
The room was dark now, but Qi Lin could see the whole room clearly by the slightest glimmer of light from the corner of the spiral staircase.
Bookshelves are placed on both sides, and a large desk for the office is in the center, and the whole room is clean and spotless.
He saw an oil lamp on the table, so he went over and blew it with the velvet that was placed next to it, and then lit it.
The light of the room turned from pitch black to dim.
There is a large stack of notebooks on the desk.
Maybe this is what the lord of the city wrote?
Qi Lin put on magic glasses, opened the notebook and looked at it, and from the content on it, it was a bit like a diary, but it was scattered, not like a complete diary.
Qi Lin relied on his own judgment to integrate some seemingly key contents:
"More and more people are applying to settle in Longjevetti, and after my grandfather and father spread the reputation of the City of Eternal Life more and more loudly, the city has been aspired by countless people across the continent. Everything is going in a good direction."
"The depletion of the fountain of life is imminent, is it possible that the glory of Longjeviti will be interrupted in my generation? No, it can't happen."
"Today a strange person came to visit, said that it could solve my problem, and sent me a strange black egg, he talked godly, and I drove him away."
"The fountain of life has dried up, I can feel it, the majestic and vigorous vitality of the entire city in the past is gradually dissipating, and soon, the city of immortality will be unworthy of its name."
"The weirdo is here again, he gave me a scroll this time, and he still has inexplicable words in his mouth"
"I'm already very old, but my qualifications are too poor, I've been stuck in the third order for too long, I can't break through the fourth order for a long time, and without the power of the Fountain of Life, I may be dying."
"The formation recorded on that scroll really works! I feel the life force surging up in my body again! ”
"If the scope of this formation is to be expanded to the entire Longjeviti, then this 'fuel' is far from enough!"
"There is a strong man who has taken a fancy to this city and wants to replace him as the city lord, this is absolutely impossible to happen!"
"He's too strong, a fourth-order powerhouse, it's easy to defeat me, and there's only three days left for me to think about. God, who can come and save me? Keeping the glory of the Longjeviti family? ”
"I thought of that strange man again, since this formation he gave me works, then what he said, that black egg."
"My love, I'm sorry. My dear son, I'm sorry I have to get stronger for the glory of my family."
Seeing this, Qi silently put down the notebook in his hand.
You don't need to look at the rest to know what's going on.
The purpose of his trip was not to see how this beast city lord had fallen step by step.
Looking around the room, I saw a more tightly locked door on the side of the house, which was even locked with thick chains.
Qi silently walked over, looked at the huge chain and held the hilt of the knife in his right hand.
With a ding, the knife light slashed.
The huge iron chain broke and fell, and then was caught silently by Qi Silence, without making much noise.
Then Qi Lin pushed the door and entered.
The scene presented inside, even if Qi Lin had already been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and the floor tiles under his feet quietly shattered into countless pieces.
Rows and rows of adult or small bodies, without limbs, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or even senses, were suspended in mid-air, and more than hundreds of them could be seen at a glance.
"If you can find this place, it's kind of capable." An old voice rang out.
Qi Lin turned his head and looked at the door, where there stood an old man with gray hair and a kind smile.
Qi Lian's mood was too agitated just now, and he didn't even notice the arrival of this city lord.
He was silent, wearing a black full-coverage mask on his face, and looked at the city lord of Cologne quietly.
In the next second, Qi Lian's figure suddenly disappeared, and he came to the city lord of Cologne in an instant, and the single knife in his hand was unsheathed in an instant!
He no longer needs to have any negotiations with this person, what he wants to do is to use the fastest speed, the strongest strength, and the strongest determination to break this human scum into pieces.
He's going to be this guy's reaper!
A magic knife!
