Chapter 225: A Difficult Task
"Your mission is actually quite simple. The city lord didn't joke with everyone, and went straight to the point: "I called you here this time because you have seen my body, and now I must choose to be the city lord, and I hope you can help maintain order at that time." ”
"No problem!" Luo Meng and the others readily agreed.
After a period of handover, Wu Feng and the others successfully received the task from the City Lord of the Three Heavens City.
In fact, the task is also very simple, that is, because of the city lord's body, his lifespan has reached the limit. Since the city lord has no descendants, all those who want to select a city lord are in secret, but there is no impermeable strength in the world, and this matter is accidentally let the people in the 100,000 mountains know.
When the forces in the 100,000 mountains found out, the matter suddenly became complicated. The matter of the inheritance of the city lord was also forcibly suspended, and the Three Heavens City did not hesitate to offer assistance to the Beastmaster Academy. In fact, if the Three Heavenly Cities were united, they could completely bear it, so the Beastmaster Academy also set this task as a low-level task, and it happened to be applied for by the white hair. Wu Feng and the others also came to the Three Heavens City naturally.
"Brother, can we just help guard the Three Heavens City?" Wang Jun asked with some puzzlement, in fact, he knew that the Three Heavens City wanted to use the Beast King Academy to show his face, so as to scare the forces of the 100,000 mountains that were eyeing the Three Heavens City. But if it has an effect, then no one knows.
"Well, follow the mission, don't be cranky. "Wu Feng doesn't know what the reason is, so that the powerful Three Heavens City has started to help, and this cumbersome task only needs some recruits, it seems that the Beastmaster Academy still doesn't think much of this task.
This is actually pitiful for Wu Feng and the others, if they fail in their mission, it will be a shame.
The white-haired master finally applied for this training task for them, if they messed up by then, not to mention whether the white-haired had face or not, next time they themselves would be embarrassed to take over the task of the academy.
"Don't underestimate this mission, when the choice of the city lord begins, you will know that there will be chaos, not only the 100,000 mountains outside the city, but also the big families in the city alone will have us to drink a pot. Luo Meng said with some concern, the city lord's body gradually declined, and his prestige also declined. The difficulty of the task goes on the opposite and gradually increases. This time they were stumped, and their task was even more arduous.
"Well, got it. Everyone nodded, in fact, everyone dared to underestimate this mission, a huge city, no matter how you say it, you won't move the rescue for no reason. It means that it is really too busy, or rather, the task is not so simple.
"Here, we'll do as planned!" Romon was the youngest of the five Heavenly Genius Masters this time, and he was also the most vocal, and everyone was very jealous of his talent. There was no opinion on what he said. After all, everyone is now one, and the whole team exudes an atmosphere of unity.
"Fengzi, then let's go first. Zhang Gong and the others said hello to Wu Feng and left with their respective teams, after the distribution on the road, Luo Meng took Wu Feng to guard the most critical city, and the other four teams guarded the most important city wall. It is divided into four directions, southeast, northwest and four city walls.
"Xie Jin, let's start to prepare, tomorrow we will officially select the position of city lord, our task must be very arduous. Wu Feng said to Xie Jin behind him, the city lord is also capricious, such an important position of the city lord actually chose to be selected. The whole city is selected, which means that those who were born in the wild road, or individual guests, can come.
This will definitely do more harm than good, if it is a person from a big family, with the family as the backing, it is okay to say. But once a casual person, a free man, becomes the lord of the city, how can he make people submit, take over the power of the old city lord, or use force to subdue the people?
A day is not unpleasant for Wu Feng and the others, they have been observing and familiarizing themselves with the entire Three Heavens City, and under the busy footsteps, the night has gradually darkened. Wu Feng's group of people were so tired that it was rare to rest, and everyone fell asleep early. Because tomorrow's arduous task will officially begin, the whole process is not room for mistakes.
The night had quietly fallen silent. But the center of the City Lord's Mansion is brightly lit, and a group of people are busy in the City Lord's Mansion, because tomorrow is going to be a battle for the position of the City Lord, and the news has already spread. Just wait for tomorrow to officially start.
They are destined to have no sleep tonight, after all, this is a big event, and everyone is busy.
In the same way, the 100,000 mountains, which are like giant beasts, also seem to have fallen into a deep sleep. Except for the sound of insects, it was so quiet. But this qiē is a little abnormal, it's too quiet.
"Ahem!" a cough broke the silence of the night, and although the sound was small, it echoed in the sky above the 100,000 mountains.
By the color of the moonlight, Wu Feng and the others would definitely be surprised, because the owner of the voice was an old man. That is, the steward of the lord of the city. At this point, he was spitting blood from his mouth, as if he had been seriously injured in some way.
"Hehe, the master really guessed wrong. The butler wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stomped lightly, and disappeared in place. And at the place where he disappeared, a black shadow appeared, and the black shadow stood for a while. Instead of chasing in the direction of the housekeeper, he chose to go to the depths of the 100,000 mountains, and disappeared in an instant.
Castle Lord's Mansion!
The lord of the city, who looked like a dying man during the day, was walking about a glorious house with worry. The powerful aura and vitality that emanated from his body were like two people during the day.
"Sir!"
An old voice came from outside the house, and the melancholy expression of the city lord was relaxed.
"You're finally back!" the lord strode out of the house.
"Ahem!" I saw that the butler's face was pale and trembling and he walked towards the house, and just as the city lord came out, he hurriedly helped him in.
"Sir....... The butler was about to say something, but the city lord stopped him, quickly took out a pill from the storage bag, and finally supported him on a chair.
"Don't worry, you breathe first. The city lord also found a seat and sat down, and poured a cup of tea for the butler by the way. Looks like there's plenty of time.
"Well, sir, I know. "The housekeeper has followed the city lord for many years, and knowing the character of the city lord, he is not in a hurry, but begins to breathe and heal.
After a while, the butler's face began to be rosy, and his breath was not so chaotic.
"How's it going?" the city lord asked softly when he saw that the butler had recovered a lot.
"Sir, they're already on the move. The butler nodded and said.
"Hehe, I'm afraid they won't come out, I've already reported this matter to the Beastmaster Academy. Now that the snake has been dispatched, and the Beastmaster Academy is ready, let's not mess up on our side. The city lord smiled slightly.
He had already discovered that something was wrong with the power of the 100,000 Great Mountains, but it was just a feeling, and he couldn't act on it. As the lord of a city, there are some things that he must have evidence for. This matter has always been in his heart, and he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, he usually has a lot of feelings, and he can't just make a big move because of one feeling, so it would be too reckless.
But once a mercenary group mysteriously disappeared in the 100,000 mountains, the city lord this time the matter was definitely not so simple, he sent people to the forces of the 100,000 mountains to inquire, but in the end there was no result. But the disappearance of the mercenary group happened to give him a chance, and he took the opportunity to send a corps to find it.
The forces of the 100,000 Mountains began to sit still, and refused to allow the Corps to enter the investigation for various reasons, because the 100,000 Mountains had countless grievances. It's all too normal for a mercenary group to die in it.
Their reaction made the suspicion in the city lord's heart even stronger, and he was surprised when he sent a team of their own soldiers to infiltrate the investigation in person. Because the pro-soldiers have found traces of the demons, and the target seems to be the Three Heavens City. Because there are really 100,000 mountains behind the Three Heavens City, and the 100,000 Mountains must be the entrance of the demons, and the Three Heavens City can just become a base for the demons.
But this qiē was discovered, and when the pro-soldiers came back to report. The city lord didn't think about it, and he didn't care whether the matter was true or not, he wrote down everything on paper, and even his suspicions and uncertainties were also written on the paper, just for the sake of authenticity, so that the Beastmaster Academy could deduce.
As soon as the Beastmaster Academy received the task, it immediately sent more than a dozen teams, five of which were the teams led by Wu Feng's five people. And they didn't know that there were more than a dozen teams behind their butts, and there were two real Beastmaster soldiers among them!
"Master, it seems that the Three Heavens City is a little dangerous this time. "The housekeeper is worried, there is a demon entrance behind the buttocks, how can this be reassuring? As long as the demon clan is not destroyed, even if it fails, it will definitely come back, and then the Three Heavens City will definitely be the first to be impacted.
"It's okay, this time the Beastmaster Academy dispatched two Beastmaster soldiers, as long as the demon clan is defeated, it will hurt the vitality. They definitely won't show up again for a while, and this matter has already been taken seriously by the Beastmaster Academy. The Beastmaster Academy has their arrangements, and they won't let it go. The city lord comforted, he had no bottom in his heart at this moment, these three heavenly cities still had to rely on themselves in the end, the beast king academy had limited manpower, and the jurisdiction of the ten schools was extensive. They also have some jurisdictional powers.
"Well, when we get through this, we'll have some buffer time. The housekeeper said knowingly, this time it was really too sudden, if it weren't for the vigilance of the city lord, it would be over, and then the Three Heavens City would also become the puppet city of the demon clan.
