"Inner ghost!?"

Huo Ling and Dai Lingling both cried out in surprise.

But think about it, even around the county lord, there are disguised barbarians so close, and it is not too unusual for ghosts to exist within nine kilometers.

"That's right, I and the great general Feng Ning have gone through various incidents and felt that there are internal ghosts sent by the barbarians in the city. Ma Dong closed his eyes and nodded.

"Can you be specific?" asked Huo Ling.

Ma Dong opened his eyes and glanced at Huo Ling, nodded slightly, and said, "Since you are asked to do this, I will naturally not hide it, I hope to give you some information." Recently, there have been frequent secret murders of powerful strangers in the nine kilometers, and some important military communication letters with the front line have been stolen, resulting in serious defeats in our frontline battles, but these are not hindered, victory and defeat are common in soldiers. Of course, the most important point is that we all know that the Barbarian tribe has scarce resources and financial resources, so the scope of some of the things they practice is relatively small, but after the recent battles, their strength has generally improved a lot, and most of the skills they use are from within the empire, so we are wondering if someone has leaked the skills within the empire to the barbarians......"

Huo Ling was somewhat sure of this in his heart, according to his description, he really did not rule out this suspicion, if there were really people who should cooperate with the outside to help the Barbarian Qiang tribe, then it was very likely that they had become allies.

"What do you mean by Taishou, let me investigate the mystery of this?" Huo Ling asked, looking up.

"Hmm. Ma Dong nodded. "During this time, I have been looking for suitable candidates for this matter, but they are not satisfactory, until today, seeing the strength and wisdom of your mind, I think only you can complete this task, I don't know if you have any opinions. ”

Huo Ling bowed his head slightly and said, "If Taishou can approve of the kid, the kid has no opinion." ”

"Okay! have the courage!" Ma Dong patted the armrest of the seat and stood up, took out a bronze token from the cuff, which was engraved with a dazzling "nine", and asked Dai Lingling to hand it to Huo Ling, and when the two fingers touched, Dai Lingling's shy little face was a little ruddy.

"Huo Ling Xiaoyou, from now on, I will order you to be the hidden general, and the main task is to find out the inner ghost hidden within nine kilometers. This token is very important at my nine kilometers, it is my exclusive token, not many people have it, it can give you easy access to some important places, and I hope it will help you complete your mission. Ma Dong pointed to the token in Huo Ling's hand and said.

Huo Ling stared at the token, there was Ma Dong's inscription in the lower right corner of its back, and after looking at it for a while, he put it in his arms and said, "Thank you Taishou, then what is the area I am responsible for?"

"Haha. Hearing Huo Ling's inquiry, Ma Dong laughed and said: "It's comfortable to deal with smart people! I will arrange someone to deal with the two things of the killing of the stronger aliens within nine kilometers and the theft of military letters, and you are mainly responsible for investigating the people who leak the internal skills of the empire, and the three main places are the Library Pavilion, Auction halls and trading conferences, although the library pavilion is an important place within the empire, it has the highest degree of strictness, but it does not rule out the possibility of entering the spies, as for the auction hall and the trading conference, these two places are mixed, it is more important. ”

Huo Ling nodded, these three places are really not easy to investigate, not only a matter of many people, trying to find out a few people hidden in them among tens of thousands of people, it is simply a needle in the bottom of the sea, the task is challenging enough, which makes Huo Ling a little excited in his heart.

Raised his head and asked, "If this type of person is found, will you bring it back for interrogation or ......?"

"The barbarians have always been aggressive, and if you push them into a hurry, they will definitely do something reckless, so in order to prevent the Li people within nine kilometers from being affected, you can choose to kill them. There was a hint of ferocity in Ma Dong's eyes, as if this was the norm for him to deal with the barbarians.

"I see. ”

Ma Dong nodded and took a sip of tea before he spoke: "I will arrange for my subordinates to help you solve your accommodation, and the problems you encounter are all up to you, if you have anything or need manpower, you can come to me, or go directly to Dadong, he will do his best to help you." ”

Huo Ling shook his head: "Since you do this kind of hidden thing, then you don't need a fixed place to stay, so you don't have to worry too much, if there is no other task, then the kid will retire first." ”

"Okay, Huo Ling Xiaoyou go slowly, Lingling, send Huo Ling Xiaoyou for me. Ma Dong said to Dai Lingling on the side.

"Hey. Dai Lingdex sighed lightly and trotted to follow.

Walking out of the Taishou Mansion, I felt that my whole body was no longer so depressed, and my breathing was a little smoother, but then a lot of questions came to my head.

The first time they met, they gave him such a task, and threw such an important token to themselves, this level of trust is a bit beyond common sense, it is impossible to get such a result because he saved his daughter and showed some skills in front of him. Also, once it is found that it is directly killed, this does not seem to be in line with common sense, the county lord also said that she would tie up the two barbarians who were stunned at the broken bridge to nine kilometers and hand them over to her father to fall, because the two sides are now fighting hotly, every hostage is very important, maybe the information in their mouths is a key that can open the door to victory, which shows how important the information in the mouth of an enemy person is, and when he came here, he said that he could kill him directly......

Puzzled, Huo Ling always felt that this Ma Dong Taishou gave him a strange feeling, but he couldn't say what it was, but there must be a demon when things go wrong, and he needed to be more careful.

"I think my dad was a little different today. Dai Lingling, who was walking beside him, suddenly spoke, and immediately pulled Huo Ling out of his thoughts.

"Different?" Huo Ling asked, "What's the difference?"

"Before I was ten years old, my father doted on me very much, almost everything he wanted, I was everything to him, but since I was ten years old, he seemed to have changed as a person, and he could never go back to what he used to be before, he became stranger, and just now, he touched my hand for the first time since he was ten years old, and that moment seemed to go back to the time when I was a child when he spoiled me......" Dai Lingling said a little sad and a little relieved, and the expression of that emotion is very real.

Huo Ling smiled at her: "Maybe Taishou wants you to become stronger." ”

Dai Lingling smiled and nodded, and that smile seemed to have a hint of sweetness.

"If you have any problems, you can come to me at any time, although I am not strong, but I still have a certain amount of weight in speaking at nine kilometers. Dai Lingling raised his little face and said.

"Ha, of course, who made you the county lord. ”

Walking and walking, I walked to the gate of the city tower.

"Take care, Lord Shire. Huo Ling hugged his fist at Dai Lingling.

"That'...... Then you have to be careful. ”

Huo Ling nodded and turned to leave.

Saying goodbye to Dai Lingling, it's time to think about how to complete the task.

I found an inn, rested for the night, and solved the lack along the way before I decided to leave.

I learned from the mouth of the shopkeeper that the three places that Taishou Ma Dong said, they all have their own opening hours, although the library pavilion is open all day, but there must be a token to enter, which is not worrying, that is to say, Huo Ling can enter the library pavilion at any time now, but the auction and the trading conference, the former is once every five days, and the latter is once every six days, which is the so-called auction every five days, and a transaction every six days, so that counting today, within a month, the auction house itself can only enter six times, and the trading conference can only enter five times, and it is still a little difficult to catch the spy in this short number of times。

Yesterday was the trading meeting, which means that from today, the auction will open in four days, and the trading conference will be held in five days, so in that case, it is better to devote your energy to the library and see what you find there......

It is understood that the Library Pavilion is still a place for the empire to build and support nine kilometers, mainly to solve the cultivation problems of the aliens in the border area, and to provide them with a lot of strange skills to better resist the barbarian tribes.

There are two conditions for entering the Library, the first is to hold an official token, that is, the one given to Huo Ling by Ma Dong, and the second is to require an official edict, those who want to enter the Library Pavilion to practice must go to the nine-kilometer secret place to verify and register, and after the proof, the secret office will give an official edict, but there is a one-day time limit, and the former has no time limit.

In addition, the library is divided into three pavilions: outer, middle, and inner, and the conditions for entry are different according to the preciousness of all the skills inside. The outer cabinet can enter if the strength reaches the initial stage, and the middle cabinet must reach the fourth stage of the difference, and the cabinet needs to reach the seventh stage.

The skills cultivated by the alien and the newborn cultivators are not the same, the newborn alien skills are things that fall from the sky, and there is a strict hierarchy, and the hierarchy determines the size of its power, but the ability is not, it is not hierarchical, but matches your ability type and your own strength, and it has very few ready-made things, because the ability is completely created by personal practice, and you can find the predecessors who match your ability, then the luck can be called superior, but this probability is too small.

The power of the ability is completely dependent on individual practice, which tests the ability of each ability.

Looking at the cylindrical tower-shaped building in front of him, he could feel that there seemed to be a formation protection around it, and it would be impossible to destroy it easily without the strength of the other king.

Feel the strange power inside fluctuates frequently, and the size is different, it is enough to prove that the library pavilion is very fatal to the attraction of the stranger, I heard, some people are almost in the middle of the sleep and forget to eat, just to learn two more skills, but this is not unusual, walking outside, one more skill, is one more survival guarantee.

Walking into the gate, there were two mercenaries standing at the door, and when they saw Huo Ling coming over, they each stretched out their left and right hands and crossed to block him.

"Nine kilometers away, please show the relevant proof. ”

He took the token from his bosom and handed it to one of them.

After the man took it, his face was slightly shocked, and after turning it over to look at the back, he hurriedly handed the token back to Huo Ling with both hands.

"Your Excellency, please come in. ”

Huo Ling nodded and walked straight inside.

Looking at Huo Ling's distant back, the mercenary muttered, "I didn't expect to get the official token of Taishou at such a young age......"

After walking along the passage for five or six minutes, I found that there was nothing peculiar on the way, probably to numb people's first feelings, after all, people should not be disgraced, if you go through this road to feel the excellence of the library, it must be a fool's behavior.

After continuing to go deeper for a distance, three rays of light gradually came into view, and when I got closer, there were three pillars of light, the colors of which were red, green, and yellow. There was strange writing at the bottom of the pillar of light, and it looked like it was a teleportation array or something. Looking left and right, there is no way to continue, that is to say, you have to rely on this teleportation array to enter it......

"Da Da Da"

The sound of footsteps slowly approached, Huo Ling was slightly stunned, looked to the right, and a man in a black robe walked towards him.

"Seven Stages of Alienation!"
