Volume 3 Wolf Venom Chapter 58 The Lost Pendant
The Snow Wolf Valley is divided into four sections, and the tourist area is the Snow Wolf Forest at the rear. The left and right areas are the military camp and the city lord administrative area.
Yun Xian accompanied Di Ying, Xiaoxiao, and Niu Dali, and was walking along the middle of the road to the Snow Wolf Forest.
The Snow Wolf Forest, which has a rare monster beast, the Snow Wolf. This kind of demon beast is extremely rare and relatively powerful, and it is generally only found in the deep mountains and snowy areas of the Bauhinia Mountains. There are no wild animals here but captivity, and every monster that exists in the snow wolf forest is strictly controlled to prevent injury to tourists.
"This is the Castle Lord's Administrative District, but the Castle Lord's residence has been built in it. It's right in the innermost part and can't be seen here. ”
Di Ying pointed to the right hand and secretly said to Yun Xian, because when this place was divided, it was only administrative, and no one was allowed to live except for the army. However, after all, the city lord is the lord of a city, and no one will stand up and say that he really does this, and the above investigation can also be handled, after all, it is not a big deal.
"This is the barracks, and there are a lot of troops in it. The army of the Magic City is twice as large as the average county town, and legend has it that this incident is related to the Magic Stone Henge. However, I personally think that because the Magic City is a transportation hub city, there are slightly more garrisons. Fortunately, they don't care about local administration. They were not to interfere unless the lord ordered the transfer. ”
Yun Xian nodded, this sentence is easy to understand.
The army cannot move externally and internally. Therefore, these armies are only responsible for guarding the town, and if they want to catch criminals, they are dispatched by law enforcers. Unless the most heinous person cannot be caught quickly, with the consent of the city lord, the army selects the elite to change into the clothes of the fast catcher to arrest the criminal.
The formal inadmissibility of the military to interfere in all internal affairs is a step forward in the entire world polity. However, there are a very small number of war-torn countries that are not. For example, Haoyue, Haoyue's family is actually official, and everything can be managed. Haoyue is the leader of a family team, and his status is higher than that of the richest merchant in the city. And the ten county lords of the Heavenly Wolf are not at all comparable to the status of the richest merchants.
"You must not fly here, the army has air supremacy, and flying above the barracks will be attacked by the army!" Di Ying reminded.
Yun Xian nodded, there was no concept of air supremacy in Haoyue. Because of the folk, there are few who can fly.
When Yun Xian and the other four walked into the Snow Wolf Forest to visit, in the innermost courtyard of the city lord's mansion in the administrative district on the left, a beautiful woman stood on the stairs and looked at the sundial below.
This beautiful woman is the wife of the current city lord Che Xuan, Mai.
The lord of the castle has a son, but he was not born to Mai. Although Mai is the beloved wife of the city lord, she has no heirs.
Mai was now holding a small note in her hand, and the time on the note coincided with the hour of the sundial. Immediately, Mai left alone and headed deep to the left.
In an inconspicuous depression on the hill behind the castle lord's house, there was a hole in the mountain, and the door was guarded by four guards.
When the four guards saw the comer, they knelt down in unison.
"I've seen Madame!"
Mai didn't make a sound, but entered the cave with a serious face.
There was a long corridor in this cave, which was cleaned by four people, and the ground was very clean, and the long skirt of Mai was held on the ground, and there was no fear of dust.
"I've seen Madame!"
Facing the cleaners, Mai still had a serious face, didn't say a word, and walked inside alone.
When I walked a kilometer towards Riomo, I saw a gate. Mai arrived at the door and pushed open the door without hesitation. Inside the gate, a rickety old woman was chained. The old woman's eyes were very hollow, and the whole person looked weak. However, on his arms and feet, traces of black jade nails hidden in his clothes could be clearly seen. Judging from the scale, this old woman should be full of black jade. Locking up a person with so much black jade, it is obvious that this old woman is a powerful master.
The old woman looked up slightly when she saw Mai coming.
Mai handed the note to the old woman, and said, "The five-manggu scroll has arrived here, and I will let him come to see you on the pretext of cleaning!
The prophet, who had a hollow face, suddenly flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "It's really timely, I'm afraid I won't be able to save it later!!!"
The Prophet let out a high-pitched, terrifying laugh.
Che Jie is the only son of the city lord Che Xuan, and Che Jie is a person with a lot of stories. He is the only son of the city lord Che Zhou, and since he was a child, the city lord has been very fond of Che Jie, and he is really afraid of melting in his hands. Therefore, the city lord Che Zhou has let Che Jie play with the children of famous scholars and wealthy merchants since he was a child. This may seem good, but in reality it has the opposite effect. Those children of famous scholars and wealthy businessmen do not want to see Che Jie. In terms of status, the city lord of Che Jie is not as tall as their father, and in terms of strength, Che Jie is not as tall as those children.
Although you are the only son of the city lord, you will inevitably be bullied since childhood. Of course, this is also related to Che Jie's weak personality.
"Damn, this is an era when dad has no money!"
Che Jie has always been bullied by other children, blaming his father's lack of status, and never thought that his character was too weak.
After complaining, the corners of Che Jie's mouth raised a slight arc. Just stole a gadget from my father's room, which should sell for a hundred and eighty gold coins.
Those rich businessmen's children, each of them are bastards. You have to pay them ten gold coins a day, otherwise you will hit them once. This thing can last at least ten days and eight days.
It just so happened that at the gate of Snow Wolf Valley, a group of children were playing together. Seeing the car coming, he hurriedly rushed over.
"I don't have any cash in my dad's study, so I took this thing, and it should be able to sell it for some money!"
"Grass! You also stole your dad's things, the last time you stole them and we went to sell them, but your dad found out. My dad beat me up! Put this thing back and think of something else. ”
"But there's no way!" Che Jie was very aggrieved.
"You don't know? You're an only son, your dad has no money, and if you want ten gold coins, he'll give it to you!
The child who scolded Che Jie suddenly noticed a pendant around Che Jie's neck, which looked like a good thing and was worth a lot of money.
"Can this thing be sold?"
Seeing the man stretch out his hand, Che Jie's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly took a step back.
"What can't be sold, this really can't be sold. If it sells, we're all in big trouble. This is the most precious thing my mother left me, I can sell it to anyone, but I can't sell it!"
The kid looked like he knew, and said lightly: "Okay, okay, look at your bear-like appearance." You can't sell it if you sell it, and your dad won't be mad if he really sells it? You send it back first, don't let your dad know that we asked you for money. ”
"Oh!"
Che Jie was ready to put things back.
After all, their father is the lord of the city, and although their status is not as high as their father, it is said that they stole the things of the lord's administration. None of them had a hard time, and at least they had to be beaten severely. Therefore, they didn't really dare to let Che Jie steal things and sell them.
However, just as Che Jie walked fifty meters with a fart, suddenly, a black shadow shot past Che Jie with a 'whoosh', and Che Jie fell to the ground.
It was so fast that not only did the children not see the dark shadow clearly, but even the guards did not realize it.
Immediately after, Che Jie's cry rang out.
"Woo woo!! where is my pendant? What about my pendant? That is the most precious thing my mother left me, and my father will kill me if I lose it. ”
Hearing Che Jie's cry, all of a sudden, the children's faces changed greatly, and they looked at each other, and everyone showed a look of horror on their faces.
Usually, Che Jie has a cowardly personality, and he can't pull down his son with a few gold coins to investigate. But the most precious thing left by Che Jie's dead wife was lost, and this thing was not facing Che Jie, who had a weak personality, but facing the lord of a city!!
Something big is wrong, something is wrong.
Every child is aware of this serious problem.
"Hey~!Hey~!!!Che Jie, we didn't take it, and we didn't let you sell this, you can't frame us!"
"Yes! Che Jie, someone just snatched your things at the gate of the barracks, and it has nothing to do with us!"
"Che Jie, don't say we're here to play with you!"
After the children shirked, they scattered in a hurry, and they really ran away.
Even they realized the seriousness of the matter!
"Woo woo ~ !! my pendant is missing... That's the most precious thing my mother left me!"
Che Jie sat on the ground and put it crying, and the guards who heard Che Jie's crying also quickly rushed over.
"Master, what's wrong?
"Someone snatched my pendant?"
The guard hurriedly said to one of the guards next to him, "Quick, intercept those children and get the young master's things back." ”
Originally, the guards thought it was just an ordinary thing that was robbed, and it would be fine to take it back. However, the guard saw Che Jie's crying, and after careful questioning, he realized that Che Jie's pendant was missing.
The guards immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly sent someone to inform the city lord as soon as possible.
