Dimi didn't know the identity of the other party, but the beast's instinct made it instantly vigilant, and it stared at the viscount.

Of course, Lu Kuansheng couldn't think of being an enemy of the other party, patting Dimi while looking at the other party, just like seeing an ordinary human being.

"+1 Viscount opinion of you"

The system prompt popped up, and Lu Kuan breathed a sigh of relief: It's okay, it's okay, it's barely a good start......

Behind the other party, followed by a slender human woman, who looked to be in her early twenties, wearing a black bodysuit, and was curiously looking at Lu Kuan.

Pythasos came to the table with an elegant posture and said with a smile: "Mr. Old Deer, I have admired the name for a long time. ”

"That's what I should say, Mr. Viscount." Lu Kuan replied with a smile, with caution and respect in his tone.

The viscount smiled, stretched out his hand to invite Lu Kuan to sit down, and then looked at the orc warrior next to him.

The other party nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a room full of fierce and vicious guys immediately left the room quietly, leaving only the young girl in black to stay by Pythasosus's side.

The viscount and Lu Kuan sat down face to face, and said with a smile: "I won't talk nonsense, do you know my name?" ”

The other party smiled, but Lu Kuan felt a chill for no reason, and his body was shrouded by an invisible pressure, he secretly took a breath and said calmly: "Yes." ”

"Will I be lucky enough to know the source of the gentleman?" The Viscount said very gentlemanly and patiently.

"I usually like to read,"

Lu Kuan took out the reason that he had thought of a long time ago, and said with a smile: "I am particularly interested in the history of the great war with the Silver Dragon Republic many years ago, so I know a little about the history of the White Top Clan. ”

"Which book?" The Viscount asked.

"Pitch Black World,"

Lu Kuan replied without hesitation: "It's the work of the deceased dwarven scholar Tudir, I was fortunate enough to read it once, but unfortunately I can't find it now." ”

Seeing that Lu Kuan answered so decisively, the viscount stared at Lu Kuan for two seconds, and then grinned, his eyes narrowed into two slits: "Haha~ It's rare to see a guy who likes to read as much as I do, and it's not the kind of old pedant with a gray beard~"

The other party smiled, Lu Kuan immediately felt a relief on his body, the previous pressure disappeared in an instant, and the heart that had been hanging finally fell.

"Pitch Black World", there is indeed this book in the game, and it is treasured by the city lord of Lava Castle in the city lord's mansion.

It contains a complete account of the bitter war between two orc clans and the Iron Boot Dwarves that took place in the vicinity of Iron Boots City decades ago, as well as related secrets, and the origin of the Viscount, that is, Pythasos.

The viscount lowered his head, looked at the book in his hand, groped for the cover sewn by cowhide with his hand, and said seemingly unintentionally: "However, the book you read was written decades ago, does it also say what book I like to read?" ”

Lu Kuan's heart froze, but there was no expression on his face, and he smiled calmly: "That's not true, but it's been several months since your subordinates acquired this kind of book in the adventurer's hall, so I dared to guess, it should be your request." ”

As he spoke, Lu Kuan pointed to the transcript in the other party's hand, and the viscount glanced up at Lu Kuan, showing a satisfied smile: "I see...... But I thought about it too much. ”

Lu Kuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart This Nima, this NPC's heart and eyes are more than people, and he has been tempted again and again, fortunately, Lao Tzu is well prepared, otherwise wouldn't he want to show his stuffing?

However, Lu Kuan knows that this can't be blamed on others, who let himself ask for others and "throw himself into the net"?

In the last life, Pythasos "loved books" and was fond of world civilization, some precious and unique books, which could be exchanged for top-secret information or valuable items here in Pythasos, and many players who were "scholars" in their life occupations worshipped Pythasus as a cash cow.

"I love this book,"

The other party showed a warm smile, looked at Lu Kuan, and said, "So, adventurer, what can I help you?" ”

Lu Kuan immediately explained the matter briefly and said, "I want to know the movements of that halfling in the past day, and it is best to find her current location." ”

Pythasos smiled lightly when he heard this: "You're talking about Mongo, you know this little girl very well?" ”

Lu Kuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then reacted: the other party is the underground king of Iron Boots City, and he can't escape the eyes of the other party if he wants to come to Menggo, a well-known black market merchant.

Seeing that Lu Kuan did not deny it, Pythasos didn't say much, waved his hand behind his back, and the girl in black, who had been silent, took out a booklet with a black cover from her waist bag and turned a few pages seemingly casually.

"Mongo had been out for the first two days, to the east of the city, up the Nushui River, and was nowhere to be found."

"Yesterday at 4 p.m., I went back to the city, and then I didn't show up, but we had some people who saw a few strangers who had been in a few places where Mongo was often seen."

Speaking of this, the girl in black paused, glanced at Pythasos, and saw that the other party did not react, and then continued: "Our people touched a few things on each other's bodies, among which were the badges of the guards of the Lava Fortress. ”

Lu Kuan's heart sank when he heard this: Does it really have anything to do with Tang Jie?

"Where are they now?" Lu Kuan immediately asked.

"A few strange faces from out of town, there aren't too many places to hide,"

Pythasos took over the conversation, withdrew his gaze from the manuscript in his hand, looked at Lu Kuan and said with a smile: "For the sake of this book, I can reveal a few secret locations to you, but these are considered high-level intelligence." ”

"I'm listening, Mr. Viscount." Lu Kuan understood what the other party meant, and nodded.

Pythasos smiled with satisfaction: "According to my subordinates, you go to the library a lot these days? If it's convenient, I'd like you to help me transcribe a book, and of course, I'll pay for the cost in between. ”

Lu Kuan was a little curious: "With all due respect, sir, the information of the entire Lava Castle is under your control, isn't it easy to enter the library?" ”

"I'm in control of intelligence, not knowledge." The other party smiled slightly and shook his head.

Lu Kuan listened, thought for a while, and quickly nodded: "As long as it is allowed in the library, no problem." ”

Listening to Lu Kuan's answer, Pythasos smiled even more, raised his hand, and the girl in black behind him immediately took out a folded paper from the booklet and put it in Pythasos's hand.

"You go and do your business first, and when you are free, it's not too late to come to me again." Pythasos handed the thing to Lu Kuan and smiled.

……

A few minutes later, Lu Kuan came out of the hut, turned around, nodded to each other with the black knife, and then looked at the closed door.

Lowering his head, Lu Kuan looked at the paper in his hand: this is the map of Iron Boots City, marked with 3 red dots, which are the footholds of those lava fortress guards.

"Pythaus, the old fox...... He said simply, a book? It's definitely not that simple! ”

Lu Kuan whispered to himself: "Forget it, find Meng Ge first." ”
