By the time Ax returned to the hotel, Tina and Carter had returned, waiting for him anxiously. As soon as www.biquge.info Ax walked into the hotel, he immediately closed the door, and carefully stopped against the door for a while before relieving himself, walked to a chair, poured it directly on it, and drank the cup dry.

"What, was discovered?" Tina said with a sneer when she saw Aix's embarrassed appearance.

"It's a bit unlucky, but they don't seem to be afraid of it, and I didn't chase after it, and I hid outside for a long time before I came back." Ax took a breath and explained, and then, seeing Tina's relaxed appearance, he asked with some curiosity: "What's the matter with you, it stands to reason that the place you went to is much more dangerous than mine, haven't you been discovered?" ”

"Don't mention it, that garrison is an empty shell at all, when the two of us got there, there was no one in it, only two guarding the gate, and I didn't even know where the supplies were moved." When Tina heard Ax ask about the security department, she said directly in disappointment, thanks to their cautious inspection all the way, step by step, the result was that they were all scared of themselves, and there was not even a ghost.

"Nothing? How is it possible, are you in the wrong place? Aix asked in surprise, the security department of a small town is the only garrison force in this ten miles and eight villages, not only to maintain local law and order, but also responsible for defending against wild beast attacks, foreign invasions, etc., it is simply a complex of all law enforcement agencies such as police stations, armed police, courts, procuratorates, and urban management.

"If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself, can't we lie to you?" Tina immediately stopped and said angrily at Aix's suspicions.

"I don't disbelieve it, it's just that this matter is too unreasonable and a little unacceptable." Aix immediately succumbed and didn't take this little girl seriously.

"By the way, I'll tell you something too, the mayor might have come over this morning, and suspect that we went to his mansion yesterday, but he shouldn't have any proof. Moreover, I heard their conversation yesterday, and the town seems to be divided into two forces, the mayor is one side, but there is no strength, only one name. I don't know what the other side is, but they should be the ones who closed the road, and their station is not in the town, it seems to be in the temple in the green hill next to the town. ”

"Impossible." Before Aix finished speaking, Carter directly denied, "The temple is a place of cultivation, and it will never be involved in local disputes, let alone give up their neutral position and help one side." ”

"Why are you so sure, as far as I know, there are temples that are not only involved in the management of Ionia, but also have great power." Aix said puzzled.

"You're right, there are temples involved in the management of the city-state, but those temples are actually special government agencies in Ionia, and the monks there are actually government officials who manage all the affairs of the Ionian temples, not really puritans, but just borrowing the name of the temple to facilitate management. But the local temples are different, and the monks inside are not allowed to participate in local affairs, which is a centuries-old tradition in Ionia, even if it is some evil temples. Carter said firmly, these things were already ingrained in his mind.

"It seems that Ionia is definitely not as calm as he appears to be, and it can even be said that there is an undercurrent, and the centuries-old tradition has been shaken." Aix didn't deny himself what he had received because he heard Carter's rebuttal.

"How so?" Carter didn't seem to be able to accept such a thing, and said with some despair.

"Nothing is impossible in this world, everything changes, let alone fickle human beings." Aix said comfortingly. However, he only patted him on the shoulder, and it was up to him whether he could accept it or not.

"I must figure this out." Carter clenched his fists and said, if you really want to talk about it, this matter actually has nothing to do with them, but at this time, it is related to Carter's beliefs, and he found that he has only been away for a few years, but he didn't expect Ionia to start becoming stranger.

"Okay, let's not talk about that for now, I guess the mayor is coming soon, let's listen to what he has to say!" Aix ended the conversation directly, and after returning to his room, he took a shower and then went downstairs to prepare breakfast, waiting for the mayor of the town to arrive.

The mayor didn't make the three of Ax wait long, but he came to the door early in the morning, and when he walked into the inn, he saw the three of Ax sitting at a table for breakfast.

"You are the three tourists who came to our town yesterday, I am the local mayor, welcome to our Qingshan Town, but I don't know what the three of you are going to do when you come to our town, are you passing by or something?"

The mayor of the town was a man of about thirty years old, tall, a head taller than the average person, although he looked rough, but the light in the corner of his eyes could be seen that under his rough appearance, there was a shrewd heart.

"Hello Mr. Mayor, I didn't expect that a few of our little people could be welcomed by you, it's a great honor." Aix immediately stood up, bowed slightly and nodded, "I don't know if Mr. Mayor has had breakfast, if not, you can sit down together, it just so happens that we have just eaten, and there are many people and it is more lively." ”

"Oh? I really haven't eaten it yet, and since you don't mind, I'm welcome. The mayor of the town did not have the frame of an ordinary official, but was more like a talkative peasant, pulled up a chair and sat opposite Aix, and unceremoniously asked the boss for breakfast.

"The mayor is here? But I haven't seen you in a long time, how are you doing, no one is harassing you, right? "The innkeeper seems to have a good relationship with the mayor, and knows the mayor's personality, so he doesn't see this big man as the mayor of his own town, but more like a young man of his own family.

"It's okay, what can I do, every day I either plant flowers or pull weeds, relaxed, without a little pressure." The mayor said with a smile.

"Just be happy, you sit here first, and I'll get busy." After the old man finished speaking, he walked directly to the back.

"The mayor seems to be very familiar with the people in the town, and I think the people in the town also like the mayor, and you can be loved by the people of the town, as a mayor, you are already very competent." Ax wiped his mouth and said.

"There are only so many people in town right now, and of course everyone knows each other."

"Now? And what about the past? Aix could tell that when he said that sentence again, the mayor of the town bit the word "now" more heavily, so he asked according to the other party's meaning.

"In the past, although there were not many people in this town, it was not easy to remember everyone, at least I couldn't do it if I asked myself, but unfortunately, for more than a year, I, the mayor of the town, have become more and more failures, and the people in the town have walked, and now there are only so many people left, which are not as good as a small village in other places." The mayor shook his head and sighed.

However, there is a lot of information in these words. More than a year ago, it seems that the people in the town left more than a year ago, and more and more failures show that the people in the town did not leave together, but walked intermittently, as for the reason, although it is not clear, it must be inseparable from the nearby temple. Finally, there is the "small village of other places", and it seems that the villages around this town are similar to those here.

"Isn't there anything the temple nearby is doing anything?" Without warning, Carter spoke suddenly, and then his eyes were fixed on the mayor, even with a pleading look.

For this kind of look, the mayor obviously couldn't bear it, because he was also in the same mood as this teenager at the beginning, incomprehensible and unbelievable, but in the end he had to accept it.

"Alas!" The mayor just sighed, got up and left without saying anything.

It's just that when the mayor of the town walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, and after hesitating for a while, he said: "The green hill next to the town has a good view, but it has been dangerous recently, if you want to climb the mountain, you must be careful, and also, don't destroy the beautiful scenery on the mountain, so as not to attract anger." ”

Looking at the back of the mayor leaving, the three of Aix did not say a word, don't spoil the beauty of the mountain, that is, don't fight, even if you are discovered, don't resist, then you should be able to save your life.

After the mayor left, the three of them immediately finished breakfast, and when they returned to the room, Carter said anxiously, "When are we going up the mountain?" ”

"Wait a minute, we can't be sure what kind of person this mayor is, be careful, let's wait a little longer." Aix directly rejected Carter's offer.

"The mayor should already know that we were the ones who infiltrated his mansion last night, and besides, he should have an undercover agent on that green hill. The reason why they tell us this is that they want us to create some trouble and create some opportunities for his plan, so we must not believe what he says, but we must not believe it all. ”

"Are we just waiting here?" Carter seemed somewhat unhappy with Aix's decision, and although he did not directly and publicly oppose it, he questioned it.

"Of course not, we have too little news now, and there was more than this place where Noxus invaded back then, so what about the situation in other places, is it the same as here? You have been away from Ionia for three years, and you have no idea what has happened in Ionia in the past three years, so what we need to know most now is what is the current situation at the top and place of Ionia, so that we can make a careful plan. ”

"Okay, I'll write home at once, and ask my family about the current situation in Ionia, and if it goes well, there should be news within three days." After Carter finished speaking, he hurried back to his room, picked up his pen and began to write. Soon after, a puppet bird flew out of the hotel.
