Chapter 181: Dishonorable
The inner mansion of the city lord's mansion, the door of a study. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Steward Li's hand tried to knock on the door of the study several times, but he put it down wordlessly.
The old man leaned back and forth outside the door, but finally sighed and turned to leave.
"Uncle Li, what's the matter?" Inside the door, a muffled voice rang out.
"Nothing...... Just wanted to give you an update on the progress of the Purple Poison case. Hearing the sound inside the door, the old man stopped and turned around. Even though no one was watching, the old butler habitually bowed to the door.
"You...... Have you seen those two children? The voice inside the door asked.
"Did as you said." The old man's waist bent lower, "However, the old slave has something unknown. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"There are so many breakthroughs in this case, why do you have to arrange the affairs of these two children yourself?" Manager Li was puzzled, "In the eyes of the old slave, these two are at most an idle move, if they can't deal with those sensitive teenagers and the relationship behind them, they may become a stinky chess ......"
The voice behind the door was silent for a long time, but laughed hahaha: "In the entire City Lord's Mansion, only Uncle Li can comment on my arrangement like this." ”
"Don't dare." The old slave became more and more respectful.
"It's not these kids that I want to woo, no matter how good they are, at most they can only be a trivial eyeliner for us on the field." The person in the room explained, "This kind of work can be done by any one of the rescuers who work in the middle of it. ”
"You mean...... Want to use their relationship to involve the 'Black Star Twins' in the incident? The old man cautiously put forward his guess.
"It's rare to see such a strong boost." The vague voice did not deny, "If we ask him directly, it may be very costly, and that Ailu will not necessarily help us with this." And judging by what the Black Star Twins in the valley are doing, for some reason, they are very attentive to this group of teenagers, which can be our advantage. ”
"yes, that Elu cares about these teenagers as much as he did his students." The old man also echoed, "But it's not honorable for us to do this, will it be true?" ”
"There's nothing dishonorable." The person in the study said firmly, "Besides, Uncle Li, you also know that the recent situation of the City Lord's Mansion is not good, and we have to grasp every help, no matter what method we use." ”
Any method, of course, also includes a shady method, involving three children who have not yet worked as hunters in this unknown matter, and the people behind the door themselves do not feel the slightest discomfort.
The butler saluted the door panel again: "Lord of the city...... Still haven't come back? ”
The long silence almost made the old man think that the person behind the door had left.
"That's the city lord's own business, we just need to arrange the operation of this mansion when there is no owner." The voice behind the door was a little harsh.
"The old slave knows that, too." Steward Li narrowed his eyes, "But this is the City Lord's Mansion, after all, a City Lord is still needed to be in charge, and there are some things that even you can't decide." ”
"I know that." The voice in the study said indifferently, "I'll find a way to contact him, if there's nothing to do, Uncle Li will go and rest." ”
…………
Feng Chen held the small black stone chip on his chest, this thing was hit by the aquatic beast during the game, and almost fell to his death, but fortunately, the rope of the ornament was relatively strong, and in the end it was only soaked in his own blood, and now it was just washed by himself.
"Oops...... the boy's fingertips stroked the conspicuous crack on one side of it, "Is it still scratched by the aquatic beast......
"What is this?" Jia Xiao stepped forward and asked.
At the end of the game, the five-person team could rarely repair for a day or two, Xiong Fuji's injury would probably take three days to recover, and the tomboy was just out of strength, and he had returned to his usual state at night.
"The stone chips I picked up in the snowy mountains, my father gave me to use as a talisman, but I didn't expect to be broken by monsters." The little hunter said with regret.
Jia Xiao took it and carefully looked at the tiny crack in the middle of the stone chip in the moonlight: "It's not in the way, it's still very strong." He rubbed around, "What kind of material is this thing made of?" It's warm to the touch, maybe it's a treasure. ”
"It's just a commemoration, and it's not a valuable thing, my father was in the village back then, and no one bought three copper coins, so I was cheaper."
Jia Xiao casually threw the pendant back into Feng Chen's hand and sat down next to him: "It seems that this talisman has indeed protected you well, and your deeds in the arena have been spread." Did you know that the one-handed sword hunters at Dune Training Camp have become famous in the neighborhood? ”
"What?" Feng Chen pointed to his nose, "What the hell is that one-handed sword hunter, is that referring to me?" ”
Jia Xiao smiled but said nothing.
After the little Orion got off the arena, he went straight to the City Lord's Mansion, and the circuit was also sent back by the two guards himself, and he didn't have a chance to hear the discussion in the streets and alleys. In fact, his shouting in the ring to suppress the two aquatic beasts has spread all over the streets along with "the royal hunting team participating in the competition" and "a certain three-star hunter was bitten off by a monster in the ring". The more mysterious the game is, the more it can spread among the people who pursue curiosity, and even later there is a scene where "the hunter ancestor possesses the trainee and sits the monster only by will".
"If you want to possess it, you are also the god of hunting......" Feng Chen scratched his head awkwardly, "I don't know any hunter ancestors. ”
"So, how the hell did you do that?" Jia Xiao asked, "Xiaoyang said that you can understand the language of beasts, is it true?" ”
"I'm not sure either." Feng Chen tried his best to recall the scene at that time, "It is not so much an exchange as a vague feeling, as if reading their lips through a veil, or something more subtle and primitive than this, vaguely felt...... Contact. ”
"So, you're also a dragonman?" Jia Xiao got closer, "A connection like this kind of bloodline spirit can only be had by dragons, right?" ”
"No, of course not." Little Orion waved his hand repeatedly, "If I had dragon blood, my show-loving father would have spread it all over the village. My father and mother were just ordinary villagers, and at least as far as I knew, I didn't know any dragons other than the village chief, Magnini and Luciu. ”
"I mean, there's already a dragonman in your village, and it's not surprising that another one will appear." The strangeness in Jia Xiao's eyes flashed.
"Lu Xiu is different from us," Feng Chen knew that he was talking about the big horse he had seen for his companions before, "We have known this since we were children, but we didn't expect such a big difference." ”
"And where did your abilities come from?" Jia Xiao asked.
"I'd rather think of it as a gift from the Hunter." Little Orion said reverently.
"I'm serious, when Instructor Anfei comes back from going out, you must explain this matter to him." The tomboy said seriously, "By the way, there is also the proposal given to us by the City Lord's Mansion." ”
Uncontrollable forces and situations are always dangerous, and Jia Xiao is very concerned about this partner he has befriended since the beginning of the training camp.
"I will." Feng Chen nodded, "However, I'm also serious. (To be continued.) )
