Roderick continued: "Also, I think that these people appeared with us, not only bought a villa, but also bought a few shops and two courtyards, and also made such a big battle in the mercenary union, and they didn't care about the gold coins at all, this kind of big money is not something that ordinary people can do, without the support of a big family or a big power, it will definitely not be able to do this." ”

The City Lord of Gale frowned and said, "I have the same opinion as you, but I just don't understand, since they are the descendants of the Great Family, and the continent is so big, why did they come to us to start their development?

Roderick shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I don't understand these either, and if I want to find out, I need more information." ”

Gail nodded, looked at the two black-robed men standing respectfully on the side, and said, "Did you two get any useful news from that mercenary?"

Gail is not optimistic about a small mercenary, and he just wanted to take Nina as a subordinate when he sent someone before. When the two black-robed men saw the city lord asking, the older black-robed man stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Back to the city lord, we have received some important news from Sean. As he spoke, he relayed Sean's words as if he had experienced it himself.

Gail was shocked when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Roderick in disbelief, who was also stunned by the black-robed man's words, and only came back to his senses after a while, and asked the black-robed man with a frown: "You mean, the big boss of the Qingyuan Guild is a young woman, and there are at least two Jindan-level masters there?"

The black-robed man nodded and said, "Yes, that's what Sean said, and I don't think Sean should be lying." ”

Roderick asked, "How are you so sure?"

The black-robed man explained, "Sean cares a lot about his brothers. Last time, it was a last resort. And the two of us swore that we wouldn't hurt Nina, so he reluctantly agreed. This time, we used this to blackmail Sean, and he was furious, but he said this in order to still be with his brothers, and these things have nothing to do with them, so I don't think he needs to lie to us. ”

The city lord Gale nodded and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but this matter is a bit too unbelievable. It has to be treated with caution. Okay, you two have done a good job in this matter, go to the account office and receive a hundred gold coins as a reward each, don't go to that Sean for a few days, and I'll talk about it after a while. The two black-robed men were overjoyed when they heard this, and they bowed respectfully and then withdrew from the council room.

Gail turned to Roderick and asked, "Do you think that Sean is telling the truth?"

Roderick nodded and said, "Nine times out of ten, it's true." ”

Gail didn't know why Roderick was so sure, and asked in surprise, "How are you so sure?"

Roderick explained, "I've read that Sean's profile, and it is true that he cares about the other companions as the blackcoat said, and we talked about it just now. Since the family where the big boss of the Qingyuan Guild is located has a relationship with Lord Karl, and it is Lord Karl who owes them a favor. Then this mysterious family must have strong strength. Needless to say, in terms of economy, it can be seen from the handwriting of these young people that they are not short of gold coins, and judging by the salaries they give to those mercenaries and fellows, they should come from a place where the consumption level is much higher than here. There is only one such place on the mainland, and that is the holy city in the center of the continent. Hearing the name Holy City, the Gael City Lord couldn't help but gasp.

Holy City, what kind of place is that, that's not a place for ordinary people. The Holy City is the most sacred place in this world, and legend has it that I don't know how many years ago, this world was not divided into three spaces, at that time there were no outsiders, and the cultivators on the continent only cultivated Dou Qi and magic, and after years of accumulation, there were many strong people who broke through the peak level of cultivation and became gods and flew away, and no one saw them again.

But later, the world changed, and many outsiders came here, and they divided into two camps to attack each other, spreading the war to the entire continent, and also massacring the cultivators and civilians here, leading to the almost extinction of the indigenous people. The aborigines united to resist the outsiders, but they were outnumbered and finally failed, just when the outsiders were under the city of the last city where the aborigines gathered, ready to exterminate the aborigines, those senior gods who had ascended many years ago suddenly came, protected the city with great magical powers, and just waved their hands, defeated the invaders and drove them out of this world, preserving the last blood of the continent.

Since then, the city protected by the gods has been called the Holy City, and the city lords and families there are also descendants of the disciples of the nether gods back then. Although time has passed, and many families have disappeared in the long river of history for one reason or another, there are still thirteen ancient families, and these thirteen families, each of which has unimaginably powerful strength, and their power is all over the continent, including the current two major foreign camps, although the children of these families will not participate in the war, nor will they openly support which side, but secretly, there are more or less shadows of them in the two camps. Moreover, no matter how strong the two foreign camps were, they did not dare to set foot within the scope of the Holy City for so many years.

It is said that the Holy City also has a privilege given by the gods, which can ignore the restrictions of the highest level on the main road, although there is only one level, but it is also the gift of the gods, and it is also the foundation of the protection of this world, to put it bluntly, it is a low-level battlefield, that is, this continent, outsiders only have a fixed Jindan level quota to stay, command and lead the war between the two major outsider camps, and the cultivators among the aborigines, if they reach the Jindan level, half of them can continue to stay in this continent, and the Holy City, there is no such restriction, as long as they are Jindan masters who belong to the Holy City, they can all stay here, of course, they can also choose to go to the intermediate planeIt is said that there is also a holy city there, which is a continuation of the holy city on the mainland. And the most important thing is that in the Holy City, among the major families that belong to the Holy City, there can be up to two masters of the Yuan Infant Stage to sit in charge, one is to deter the Quartet and show the strength of the Holy City, and the other is to supervise outsiders to kill innocents indiscriminately and persecute the aborigines, in other words, the protector of this continent.

Roderick's analysis that this Qingyuan Guild is likely to have the background of the Holy City, Gail was really shocked, and according to Roderick's analysis, it can be explained that there are two masters of the Jindan period in the Qingyuan Guild. Also, what has always made Gail feel a little dissatisfied, those juniors of the Qingyuan Guild, since they have a request for themselves, they only sent Jesse, the president of the mercenary union, to come, now think about it, if those young people are really from the Holy City, it is natural to have such a big shelf.

Gale thought about it and felt that Roderick's analysis was very likely, so he said with some uneasiness: "Roderick, if those people are really from the Holy City, should I visit them personally?"

Roderick thought for a moment and said, "I think it's best not to go there in the near future, because they don't seem to want to be too public, if you go in person, it will go against their original intentions, and it won't do you any good." However, if you wait for a while, when their guild has developed to a certain level, you will have no problem going under the pretext of business cooperation. ”

Gail nodded, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "It's okay, I agreed to Jesse's request just now, otherwise I might really offend a real big family." ”

Roderick shook his head and said, "Lord of the City, it would have been better if you had refused just now. ”

Gail was stunned and asked, "Why?"

Roderick explained: "In this way, they can feel that you have not recognized their identity, in that case, these young people who have left the trial of the family should come in person when there is really no way, and then the city lord will pretend not to know, and then give them convenience, so that they will have the opportunity to make friends with those people from the great family." When Gale heard this, he sighed for the loss of such a good opportunity.

After a while, Gail asked, "What should we do next? What kind of attitude should we use towards this Qingyuan Guild? Do you continue to pretend not to know or not?"

Roderick hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord City, these are just our self-righteous conjectures now, although all the information we have shows that they should be from the Holy City, but there are no absolutes in the world, I think the future will be completely certain." Recently, we have continued to be silent and transferred back all the black-clothed guards who were sent to monitor them. ”

Gail frowned and said, "The black-clothed guards have all been transferred back, so how can we collect their information?"

Roderick said with a smile: "Now, that Sean is very important to us, it seems that they admire Alger very much, or their masters have seen Nina's profession, and Alger is unwilling to leave those subordinates, so this Sean must have a lot of opportunities to get in touch with those mysterious young people, in the future, we can contact this Sean more, give him more benefits, and the things that come out of his mouth are more detailed than those black guards." ”

Gail nodded and said, "Well, they have acquired three stores, isn't there not enough manpower, we can also send some people to apply, so that the news network will be bigger." ”

Roderick thought for a while and said: "Send people to work in their shops, I think this matter should be more cautious, after all, the intelligence department of those big families is not comparable and imaginary to our remote town, and it will not be good if they find out." In my opinion, a few people who have been unknown from a distant place come back to do this, the number of people should not be too many, three or two per store is enough, too many are not good.
