Hearing this, Fire Dance and Qilin Fire Spirit couldn't help but laugh in unison: "As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility! Since you are ready to shoulder the fate of the rise and fall of the Lingtian Continent with all your might, then you must be mentally prepared to meet the challenges and arduous tasks at any time!"
Cao Ke shook his head helplessly, and without saying hello to Fire Dance and Qilin Fire Spirit, he retracted his consciousness and jumped out of the space of the ruby necklace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing this, Huo Wu couldn't help but frown slightly, and subconsciously asked the Qilin Fire Spirit: "Senior, did you say that we were pressing Cao Ke a little too hard? The pressure on him was too great, and let him grow up in a relatively relaxed environment, maybe he should be able to achieve more than now......
"Xiao Wu, you can't have the kindness of a woman!" The Qilin Fire Spirit said in a firm tone: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be successful, and if the person is not sharpened, it will not be successful!"
After saying this, the Qilin Fire Spirit also let out a long sigh and retracted his thoughts, leaving Huo Wu alone, standing in a daze in the vast necklace space......
I don't know how long it took, but a rapid knock on the door called Cao Ke from his slumber.
Very reluctantly, he let out: "Oops~!" After that, Cao Ke struggled to get up from the bed, knocked around in a daze, and said to himself: "I actually fell asleep?...... Why don't I have any impression at all...... Is it that the consumption through the passage of the two realms is too great, and as soon as the body relaxes, it naturally enters a dormant and recovers?"
The knock on the door was still ringing, scratching his hair vigorously, Cao Ke got out of bed, touched the door, and fiddled with it for a long time before he opened the door lock and pushed the door open.
I saw a beautiful girl who looked to be in her teens and twenties, standing outside her door prettyly, looking at Cao Ke with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling! This beautiful girl was also wearing a cardinal's standard robe, and between her eyebrows and eyes there was a bit of the dusty charm of a classical beauty, and her exposed skin showed a faint transparent luster, Cao Ke knew that this represented the identity of this girl, that is, the nobleman in the dead world, the crystal man!
"Who are you?" Cao Ke has always been very tolerant of beautiful women, forcibly suppressed his almost violent anger of getting up, frowned and asked the girl: "Your eyes are so big, don't you see the words in the ring on my door?"
"Of course I saw it, isn't it just the word 'sleep'?" the beautiful girl replied disappreciatively, "So what? You didn't tell me that I couldn't disturb you while you were sleeping!"
"Let's ...... Acquaintance?" Cao Ke heard the meaning of this beautiful girl's words, and wondered: "Why don't I have any impression of you? It stands to reason that this is impossible! A beauty of your level, I will remember it for the rest of my life when I see it!"
The beautiful girl shook her head, raised her hand and brought the wide hood on the back of her neck to her head, and then smiled again, and said to Cao Ke: "This time, you should know who I am, right?"
"I'm going! Are you Linglong?" Cao Ke looked at the beautiful girl after putting on the hat, and was almost startled, and opened his mouth wide in amazement, and said: "Listening to your cold tone before, I thought you were an old witch! It turns out that you are so good-looking! Then why do you always cover yourself with a big hat?"
Linglong said as a matter of course: "An ugly man covers his face because he is ashamed and afraid of other people's bitter comments! A beautiful woman covers his face because he is afraid that beauty will bring unnecessary trouble to himself! That's all!"
Slowly coming out of the shock brought by his delicate appearance, Cao Ke's eyelids drooped weakly again, and he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, if you have anything to do with me, hurry up and say, I still want to sleep a little longer!
"Don't sleep!" Linglong said angrily: "I just received a tip, I know that a large number of precious items have been found at the west gate of the city to enter the city, and the city guards suspect the specific origin and usefulness of these precious items, and the city defense yamen invites our cardinal office to investigate this matter together!"
"A large number of precious items?" Cao Ke twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "I said, are you people in the dead realm also making too much of a fuss? Maybe this is a batch of goods brought in by a wealthy merchant! Isn't it okay for people to transport these things to the city of deep knowledge and sell them to the rich people who know the city? As for you, you have sent two people from the yamen to investigate one after another? These are very common things in our living world! As long as the formalities are all in place, what do you care about what he transports?"
Linglong saw that his proposal did not attract enough attention from Cao Ke, and she was very unhappy in her heart, and her tone became much deeper: "Okay, your life world has the measure of your life world, and I can't control this! I'll just ask you one thing now, if this batch of precious items is related to Qiu Rong, aren't you still interested?"
"Qiu Rong?" This name Cao Ke is naturally all too familiar! His eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw Cao Ke shouting excitedly: "If you said this earlier, I wouldn't have promised you to go to the West City Gate with you! It's about Qiu Rong, that is, it's about the Difu Jun! I'm still worried that I have no excuse to get close to him!"
After saying this, Cao Ke ran back to his room, cleaned up briefly and quickly, and then came to Linglong's side, followed Linglong out of the cardinal's office, and went straight to the west gate of the city!
The Cardinal's Office is the Independent Commission Against Corruption in the Dead Realm, and its configuration is of course the most complete and luxurious in the Dead Realm! He is well aware that the city covers an extremely wide area, and even if the Cardinal's Office is located in the western-middle of the city, if he wants to run to the West City Gate, he has to walk more than ten kilometers away! In order to make his movements easier and faster, Linglong specially transferred two Cerberus from the stables of the Cardinal's Office. In addition, this kind of Cerberus runs very smoothly, and riding it to the West City Gate, Cao Ke has a very comfortable feeling!
Grabbing the few tentacles on the back of the Cerberus's head, Linglong and Cao Ke galloped all the way, rampage through the streets of the city, without any scruples! Fortunately, there were not many people wandering around the entire street, so their flamboyant way of traveling did not attract too many people's attention...... About a few dozen minutes later, Cao Ke and Linglong came to the West City Gate!
Unlike the lifeless streets, at this time, under the West City Gate, there were already no less than 100 people!
One of the people wearing gray and black official robes, seeing the arrival of Linglong and Cao Ke from a distance, did not dare to slack off in the slightest, hurriedly separated everyone, greeted Linglong and Cao Ke and said: "The general counselor of the subordinate city defense department, Xie Ergu, has seen Lord Linglong!"
Jumping off the body of the Cerberus, Cao Ke followed Linglong to the side of this Shergu, and heard Linglong ask in a deep voice, "Where are all those goods?" Take me to see them. ”
"Yes!" Shergu raised his hand in a gesture of please, and then he led the way, leading Cao Ke and Linglong into the crowd.
When Cao Ke and Linglong really came to the center of the one hundred and ten people, they found a stack of boxes the size of forty or fifty water tanks, piled up in front of them! A gorgeously dressed crystal man was arguing with a general-looking crystal man about something, the general shook his head vigorously, and the gorgeously dressed crystal man also showed more and more impatience!
"Pfister, this way, come here!" said Schergu, beckoning at the general.
Pfister raised his hand and motioned for the gorgeously dressed crystal man to wait, and he ran in front of Shergu in a few steps, and arched his hand, "I wonder what the Lord commands?"
Shergu turned to the side, pointed at Linglong and said, "This is the chief judge of the Cardinal's Office, Lord Linglong, you should quickly introduce to her what happened!"
"Yes, my lord!" Fest saluted Linglong and Cao Ke again according to the words of Chergu, and said, "I have seen two adults!"
Linglong raised her hand lightly and said, "No need to be polite, General Pfister has something to say, but it's okay to say it!"
Pfister paused for a moment and said seriously: "Today's defense inspection of the West City Gate was all completed by the commander of the Last Lord, just about an hour ago, this group of people who claimed to be a caravan wanted to pass through the West City Gate guarded by the Last General! The Last General conducted a routine inspection of this caravan in accordance with the Death Boundary Decree, who would have thought that this caravan would not even be able to get out a decent formalities!" In addition, the leader of this caravan has always claimed that these things are for Lord Qiu Rong, and the last general feels that he is too weak to handle this incident alone, so he sent someone to invite Lord Linglong and Lord Shergu. ”
Linglong nodded with satisfaction, raised her chin slightly, and said, "Then what are these big boxes in?"
"My lord, please come with me!" Pfister led Linglong and Cao Ke to slowly circle around the pile of boxes, during which Pfister also deliberately opened a few mouthfuls of boxes, Cao Ke and Linglong looked at each other, it was actually a whole box of various colored gems! These gems all exuded a brilliant light outward, gathered together, it was a bit dazzling! Quite gorgeous and shocking!
"There are dozens of large chests here, all of which are such gems?" Cao Ke asked Pfister subconsciously.
"Yes!" replied Pfister, "every chest contains the same gems......! The two adults should also know very well that there are no such gems in our dead world! These gems must come from the living world! Usually, when the last general is guarding the city gate, he can also see one or two people in the dead world wearing this kind of gem, but after all, that is only a minority! Such a large-scale transportation of gems in front of him is the only time in the life of the last general! Therefore, the last general thinks that there must be something strange in it! I hope that a few adults will be aware of it!"
