Downtown area.
Shen Yan truly realized what it means to not be able to afford to die.
Although the weather has cooled down a lot now, it is still hot and dry, and the body will rot if left undisposed for too long.
But it's not that they don't want to bury people, it's that the land in the city and outside the city belongs to large mercenary groups. For example, the residence where Shen Yan and the others live was actually purchased from other mercenary groups. of.
Every place that can be settled does not belong to civilians.
How can these poor families afford a cemetery?
A coffin box and a square inch of cemetery can completely empty their families. How can they live?
There is no such thing as cremation or sea burial in the Mercenary City. This is tantamount to burning the souls of relatives and sending them to become water ghosts. Burying them in peace is a custom passed down by our ancestors. This custom cannot be changed by just a few words. .
Shen Yan looked all the way: "This won't work."
"In this weather, if corpses are rotting on the street, the possibility of spreading disease or plague is too great."
There are too many such lessons learned in history. That is the real disaster. If there were just a few corpses, it would not be a big deal, but now there are too many.
Ayi opened his mouth, no one would care about civilians.
It is already very rare for someone to take a second look at corpses like these.
Shen Yan said: "Which mercenary groups do the cemeteries in the Mercenary City belong to?"
Ayi thought for a while and said: "Large mercenary groups have their own cemeteries. The land outside the city that cannot be cultivated will be used, and other dead people will also be accepted. It can be regarded as a stable source of income."
Shen Yan thought to himself that he had to find a way to convince these large mercenary groups to let them take over the corpses in the city.
Otherwise, a greater disaster will strike. The Tiger and Leopard Mercenary Group will not be able to escape, and no mercenary group in the Mercenary City will be able to avoid it.
Shen Yan was about to continue walking forward when two young people hurriedly on the road caught Shen Yan's attention.
It was Zhao Lan and Xing Dou.
Shen Yan's eyes moved. He didn't know how to persuade a large mercenary group to open his cemetery. With his own identity, there was basically no possibility of persuasion, but Zhao Lan might be able to do it.
Shen Yan asked Capa and Ayi to continue to understand and count the families affected by the curse.
Then he ran to find Zhao Lan and the other two: "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Zhao Lan: "Catch the murderer."
"Now there is a quarrel in the upper city. Too many mercenary groups have died, and they are all shouting that the murderer must be caught."
"A dozen of our Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group have also died. Such a cruel murderer who doesn't take everyone seriously must be caught."
"But each mercenary group searched separately, and couldn't find any useful clues at all."
"I'll just ask Xing Dou to help me figure it out."
Shen Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up. Zhao Lan asked Xingdou to make a calculation and found out that the person he was really looking for was Li Chunfeng, the master of metaphysics.
This may not be a breakthrough direction.
Shen Yan said: "I will go with you too."
Shen Yan and the others' destination was a high place with a wide view in Shangcheng District.
It's daytime now, and the stars are drawing star maps.
Want a place like this for stargazing.
Drawing a star map is a very complicated matter.
Xingdou's pen fell on the paper, and complex trajectories began to form.
There are no hours that cannot be completed.
Shen Yan looked at it for a while, but didn't understand it at all. There are specialties in the art.
He called Zhao Lan aside and talked about the issue of corpses in Xiacheng District.
Zhao Lan was also stunned: "Is it really this serious?"
Shen Yan nodded: "I have seen countless examples in the literature. Plague and Black Death caused by the decay of corpses directly caused the death of millions of people."
Diseases and plagues are always the most terrifying.
In this era too, diseases and plagues were also listed as a fear.
Zhao Lan opened his mouth, the death of millions of people? Is it that serious?
After thinking for a while, he said, "I can try to persuade those mercenary groups to open the cemetery."
"Actually, this is nothing to them. The cemetery is empty. Most of the graves in the past are very old and have no descendants to take care of them. They have long been abandoned. Over time, they have become like peaceful places."
Shen Yan thought to himself, Zhao Lan is actually quite straightforward at heart, but his personality can be a little bit arrogant sometimes.
Zhao Lan patted his chest: "It's up to me."
The two of them chatted wordlessly.
Among them, they talked about why his brother Zhao Kuo left the Jagged Mercenary Group.
Zhao Lan's words started to flicker, and he looked a little guilty.
This kid also knew how to change the subject: "I heard that my brother and you have a son?"
Shen Yan almost didn't lift it in one breath. He didn't mention any pot.
Now it was Shen Yan's turn to be embarrassed.
The key is that Zhao Lan gets more and more excited as he chats: "Where is my eldest nephew?"
The little tree man on Shen Yan's shoulder fell to the ground upside down.
What?
He has another relative?
Shen Yan weakly picked up Dudu: "Here, that's it!"
Zhao Lan's pupils were dilating.
His brother and Shen Yan gave birth to a sub-human race? Oh my God, I'm in trouble. Look at this chubby little tree man. He even has a leaf. He's quite pretty.
"I...I'll take care of it for you."
Shen Yan handed the suddenly listless little tree man to Zhao Lan, as long as he stopped mentioning the matter of having a baby with Zhao Kuo.
Little tree man: "..."
What's wrong with this human boy whose eyes can shine through? Why do I feel more excited than my biological father?
"Big nephew, tsk tsk, I actually have a big nephew. I will play with you every day from now on."
The little tree thought that it was not necessary.
Zhao Lan: "Kiss me."
The little tree man's pupils were dilating infinitely, and he kept pushing with his little hands. No, no, no, it's too embarrassing. How will he see anyone in the future?
Shen Yan never thought that this young man loved teasing children so much that he couldn't stop teasing them.
Look how harmoniously we get along.
That's why Dudu was lying on the ground helpless, like a dead salted fish.
The sun in the sky changes its trajectory over time.
Star Dou one by one
Zhang’s star path map was placed all over the place.
The more serious and impactful an event is, the more difficult it is to estimate.
It takes more detailed drawing of star trails.
By the time the drawing of the stars was completed, it was already three hours later when I was holding my sore wrist.
The strange patterns look quite mysterious, as if they reveal some indescribable and profound law.
Xingdou arranged the star map according to time, and then called out Li Chunfeng.
The Taoist priest dressed in a fairy-like style has quite an aloof temperament.
Shen Yan was also excited, Qiangu Xuanzong.
He himself is the most mysterious being in the world. Because he is too accurate, even in Shen Yan's era, he was banned from official discussion.
He predicted that the heroine would be born, he predicted that Zhao Kuangyin would wear a yellow robe, he predicted the establishment of the Ming Dynasty by Zhu Yuanzhang, he predicted the revival of China and the coming of Siyi to the dynasty, he even predicted the invasion of Japan, and even predicted that the next family would rule in red, yellow, black and white. Make the world harmonious.
Accurate to the point of being scary and incomprehensible.
Xingdou stepped aside and placed the star map he drew in front of Li Chunfeng. His eyes were full of admiration, just like a little fanboy.
The old Taoist priest smiled and glanced at the star map, then placed a piece of wood on the dial without even any pause.
Shen Yan also hurried up.
I saw that the wooden block was placed in a "middle ()"
“⑤[()]⑤『Come to []_see the latest chapter_complete chapter』()”
Xingdou was also confused: "The art of stargazing has always been profound. This word definitely shows the answer we want, but how to interpret it? Sometimes we can only suddenly understand it when the truth is revealed."
"Or maybe only the murderer should be able to understand the meaning contained in it."
The three of them looked over and over at this word. No matter what angle they looked at, they seemed to look the same.
Zhao Lan scratched his head: "This is too mysterious. What does it mean?"
Xingdou put away the star map on the ground and said, "Let's all think about it when we go back. Maybe we will suddenly have an idea and figure it out."
Shen Yan looked up at the sky. He had been out for so long and it was time to go back.
The three of them walked towards the street muttering.
The streets in the upper city were not like those in the lower city. There were not so many corpses, but it was still a bleak scene from house to house.
No wonder everyone is so active in catching the murderer. This is annoying too many people.
Shen Yan told Zhao Lan about the corpse in Xiacheng District. This matter cannot be delayed because the weather is unforgiving.
At this time, passing by a narrow street, a woman holding a baby passed by the three of them.
The woman looked ordinary, with a mother's love on her face, and the baby in her arms was peaceful.
At this time, the old wizard Uther in the sacristy box said: "Boy, you are going to be in trouble."
"Pay attention to that woman. The baby in her arms has no breath of life, and she is too close to you. This is not a safe distance."
Shen Yan was stunned, what?
After being stunned for a moment, the woman stretched out her hand to caress the baby wrapped in the cloth like a loving mother. However, when her hand was stretched out, the cold dagger showed a terrifying edge.
Shen Yan didn't even have time to sigh that ginger is still hotter when old.
() , an ordinary breastfeeding woman without any flaws can be seen.
Shen Yan didn't care so much and smashed the shield in his hand because it was too late to draw his sword.
With a "bang", the powerful force directly lifted Shen Yan away.
This was because the opponent's target was Xing Dou, and Shen Yan just blocked it from the side and was cut away with a casual blow.
Rolling on the ground and releasing excess strength from the body are all the functions of daily practice.
The tiger's mouth was numb, and his arms felt uncomfortable due to the shock just now. He rolled over and shouted softly: "Liu Changyi!"
Xingdou, who was still chatting with Zhao Lan, was stunned by the sudden change.
Someone assassinated him, why?
Because he is an Eldar? Impossible. If it were for this reason, someone would have killed him long ago. There was no need to wait until now. He was wandering around the mercenary city every day.
Shen Yan was also thinking about this problem. The other party's goal was very clear, which was Xing Dou, but at this time there was no time to think about it carefully.
Xing Dou was stunned for a moment, giving the woman the opportunity to cut Xing Dou's throat with the dagger in her hand.
The fatal blow is definitely a fatal blow.
Fortunately, the old Taoist priest behind Xingdou gently pulled Xingdou with his whisk, as if he was stepping on stars, and he just managed to avoid the blade.
The cold weapon scratched the first centimeter of his throat, causing Xingdou to wake up completely.
Shen Yan was surprised, Xuanmen Gangbu?
The woman was stunned for a moment, she actually managed to avoid such a close distance.
Liu Changyi's arrows had already been shot at the opponent, and the continuous arrows forced the opponent away.
Zhao Lan held his hands in front of him in a prayer position.
Shen Yan felt lightened, and the negative emotions caused by the sudden battle, such as nervousness, timidity, etc., seemed to be dispelled.
All that remains is courage, bravery, and clarity.
Shen Yan thought to himself, is this the power of the priest's prayer?
For warriors on the battlefield, this is absolutely remarkable. Many times, the outcome of a battle depends on the person's state.
However, the woman must have been a thug who had been on the tip of a knife all year round. She missed one hit and then launched the next attack ferociously.
Crazy, as cruel as a wild beast.
Shen Yan thought to himself, Zhao Lan is a priest, purely an assistant, while Xing Dou seems to be a magician, just telling people's fortunes after the war.
Speaking of which, we still have to rely on him as the corpse driver.
Gritting his teeth, he picked up the shield, drew out the sword from his waist, and attacked.
It is estimated that only the old wizard Uther is leisurely enough to make sarcastic remarks: "Tsk tsk, you guys don't even have an emergency profession. This thug is only Chapter 7 at most. He looks fierce, but he is just trying to scare you." A boy who has never seen blood.”
Shen Yan thought to himself, you always helped me, but you didn't see that the woman suddenly had hair growing on her body, she looked like a wild beast.
It was so cruel. If Zhao Lan hadn't prayed to dispel the negative emotions, Shen Yan would have been scared. He had never seen anything so cruel.
In Shen Yan's time, just looking at him would probably make him weak to the ground, let alone resist.
Fortunately, Shen Yan's suture monster didn't feel any pain and was very strong. It could be used as a shield to resist it.
The other party's rage.
Uther said slowly: "Her profession is a werewolf, so she should know the violent ritual. Once her violent state is over, you should be able to deal with her."
Uther: "By the way, doesn't that boy have a particularly powerful heroic spirit? Look at how busy he is, but the most powerful means are not used. With this combat experience, if he really goes out on an adventure, he probably won't even walk out of the door. Nine times out of ten, he will die.”
The old wizard is really the kind of person who is very leisurely watching the fun. Really, if he has a plate of melon seeds, he can enjoy them while eating them.
Shen Yan also reacted and shouted: "Zhao Lan, summon the heroic spirit."
In fact, neither Shen Yan, Xing Dou, nor Zhao Lan had ever experienced a life-and-death struggle.
In the era when Shen Yan lived, let alone fighting with people with cold weapons, anyone could be caught directly with cold weapons in hand.
Xingdou belongs to the astrologer family of the Spirit Clan. Fighting is not their responsibility. Even in the most urgent battles, it is not the astrologers' turn to take part. They only need to sit at the rear.
As for Zhao Lan, he went to the seminary in Brahma Emperor City for further studies at a very young age. The most he experienced was standing in a magnificent church and singing hymns.
This kind of sudden battle can easily make inexperienced people panic, just like many times, when normal people encounter an accident, they are almost confused.
Zhao Lan's profession is a priest, so there is nothing wrong with praying for help immediately, but he is also the one with the greatest damage output.
Shen Yan raised his shield again and was cut back, but the guy from Baita was full of enthusiasm: "What, it doesn't hurt or itch. Don't think that I'm afraid of you because you turned into a hairy ugly monster. If you have the ability to cut me again, I'll use my tongue." Bounce you to death."
This shield definitely comes with taunting skills.
You have to listen to his trash talk constantly during the fight, which is comparable to mental distraction.
It was also at this time that a shot, an indescribably perfect shot, pierced the werewolf's neck directly.
The gun went through his neck and was nailed to the wall.
The werewolf's breathing was cut off and he was twitching on the wall. His mouth was like a broken bellows. Blood slid down the gun and dripped to the ground.
This shot was like piercing his bones, making him unable to use his rage and strength at all.
Struggling and suffering, his face turned completely blue.
She didn't know whether it was the wound that made her feel like this, or the fact that the gun stuck in her throat, blocking her ability to breathe, made her feel like this.
The struggle became smaller, and the hair on his body shrank back, and finally he looked like that woman, but she was already dying.
Lu Junyi's gun was pulled out from the blood hole, leaving her with the last trace of life.
Quiet.
Only the old wizard Uther's sarcastic words: "It's a waste, it's a peerless holy weapon."
"Isn't it just a matter of one shot? It has to be a life and death fight."
Shen Yan thought to himself, what he said seemed to be right, but it lacked actual practice.
Sometimes theories are just theories. When you are facing a real battle, you don't have so much time to think about theories. You just rely on instinct to fight.
This fighting instinct can be cultivated, and the method is very simple: keep fighting.
But this is what he, Xing Dou, and Zhao Lan lack the most.
Zhao Lan also scratched his head: "Did you die like that?"
Speaking of which, he also
This was his first time killing someone. If he had grown up in a mercenary city, even the heir to the oldest mercenary group would have been exposed to this a long time ago, but his mother and uncle didn't seem to want him to become a rude person. For the reckless man, it was more about arranging for him courses on aristocratic etiquette, communication, theology, etc. that could be completed in the classroom.
His upbringing experience was somewhat different from that of ordinary people.
Xingdou stretched his head and took a look: "It seems that there is still breath."
The old wizard Uther clicked his tongue when he heard this: "The werewolf has a very strong recovery ability."
Shen Yan quickly said: "Tie them up."
The three of them hurriedly tied up the woman.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Lan: "This person seems to be here to assassinate Xing Dou. He has been giving up on others just now and only targeted Xing Dou."
"Why? When will there not be a sneak attack? But we estimate that after it is over..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly froze.
The three of them couldn't help but glance at each other, and then all looked at the word "中" on the dial.
Zhao Lan: "Is this word so accurate that the other party wants to silence him? The murderer has been paying attention to us?"
"This is impossible."
Who are they? They are noobs with little ability. Why should they be worthy of others' attention? Besides...
"I came to Xingdou to make calculations, just on a temporary basis."
How could an impromptu act that he had not foreseen in advance lead to an assassination at such a precise time?
Shen Yan also frowned. If the murderer was always paying attention to them, he himself wouldn't believe it.
Then all that's left is...
Shen Yan asked: "Who else knows what you came to Xingdou to calculate?"
The timing of this assassination was so clever, just after they had calculated the result.
Zhao Lan was thoughtful.
Xingdou said: "What should we do with this person now?"
He hesitated for a moment: "One more stab?"
Shen Yan shook his head: "Kill her and the clues will be cut off. Hand her over to the security station. Maybe we can find out something."
The three of them escorted the attacker directly to the security booth, where Ji Zhuo happened to be there.
Ji Zhuo looked at the attacker's wounds and said, "The beating was quite fierce. You weren't injured, were you?"
This is a bit embarrassing. It is fierce, but it can be solved with one shot.
Ji Zhuo said: "You are here just in time. A nightmare master with a high profile in our security booth happens to be here. I have a good relationship with him and asked him to help you interrogate this person."
"Some people are very good at sophistry and enduring torture, but it's different in nightmares. Sometimes they can't help but reveal the truth."
The three of them nodded, but they had to hurry up, otherwise the sneak attacker would probably die from his injuries.
Ji Zhuo took the person away and soon asked him something.
Ji Zhuo: "This person is a wandering mercenary. She accepted the commission to assassinate Xingdou."
"I have sent people to capture the cobbler who entrusted her with the task."
cobbler?
The three of them couldn't help but be stunned.
With Ji Zhuo's help and the fact that the cobbler was in a leather shop in Shangcheng District, it didn't take long for the people Ji Zhuo sent to bring back the news.
"The cobbler has already been hired. He is indeed
Entrusted this wandering mercenary with an assassination mission,
but……"
"He is just a middleman,
It was just this wandering mercenary that someone asked him to find. "
"Based on the clues he provided, we found the person who commissioned him, and that person was a gardener."
"The gardener also used the same wording. He said that he received a sum of money for a small task of delivering a message inexplicably. Although he thought it was strange, the money given by that person was too much."
"In the end, we found the final client based on a series of clues. He was a homeless man. When we found him, he was already dead in the alley."
The clue ends here.
Shen Yan thought to himself that this was a plan that seemed to have clear clues, but was cut off in the end.
Someone arranged such a long sequence in order to avoid suspicion and avoid being traced.
Ji Zhuo: "These people are all in Shangcheng District, which at least shows that the murderers have been operating in Shangcheng District for a long time and do not want to expose their identities."
Those were the clues. All that was left was to see if any other clues could be found from the sneak attacker.
Zhao Lan was a little absent-minded.
When the three of them left, Zhao Lan didn't even come back to his senses.
Shen Yan said: "Xingdou is still in danger now, but if all this is really caused by that inferred result, then we only need to disseminate the inferred result on a large scale, and Xingdou will be safe."
Because there is no need to kill and silence, everyone knows, killing and silencing will make it easier to be exposed.
After talking for a while, the three of them left.
Zhao Lan walked towards the Jagged Mercenary Group's station with some excitement, his face uncertain.
He thought about it carefully and found that he indeed did not tell anyone else about his search for Xingdou's calculation. He only mentioned it casually when he happened to meet his uncle Ole when he was going out.
Why was the timing so perfect to assassinate Xing Dou? The only possible person was the person who knew that he had gone to Xing Dou to make the calculations, and knew that the calculations were very accurate, so he could not help but seize the opportunity to assassinate him.
but why?
His uncle Ole had no such motive. Even if Xingdou deduced the clues about the murderer,
What relationship could it have with his uncle?
Zhao Lan approached the Jagged Mercenary Group's station with a heavy heart. At this time, a young man from the nearby mercenary group who usually had some social relations with Xingdou happened to pass by.
He greeted Zhao Lan and then said, "Zhao Lan, I heard that you went to Xingdou to deduce clues about the murderer. Have you found any results?"
Zhao Lan was stunned. What happened? How come this person also knew that he was looking for Xing Dou?
This is impossible, he has no big promotion, it can even be said that he just went to find Xing Dou on a whim.
Somewhat surprised, he muttered a few perfunctory words and continued to go back. As a result, everyone he met on the road who knew him was asking: "Zhao Lan, have you got any results? It's the spirit clan who calculated that there will be heavy rains for ten consecutive days. This time he calculated Do you have any clues about the murderer?”
Zhao Lan replied: "We have calculated a result and it shows a word "中", but we don't know what it means yet."
This is what Shen Yan said. The more people know about this result, the safer Xingdou will be.
But Zhao Lan is worried now.
I couldn't help but ask, "How did you know that I went to Xingdou for calculation?"
The man: "Everyone around is talking about it."
"Many people are still waiting for the calculation results, but what does the word "中" mean?"
Zhao Lan: "..."
If the person who assassinated Xing Dou knew that he had gone to Xing Dou to make calculations, then... there are too many of them now.
This man... is confusing his thoughts.
Zhao Lan returned to the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group, and it turned out that the people from the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group were also asking him about the results of his calculations.
Zhao Lan still used the same rhetoric.
I asked around by the way, but there were so many people who reported that he went to Xingdou to make calculations, and they couldn't even find the person who originally spread the news.
Zhao Lan originally went to ask his uncle Ole, but Ole was not there.
He had to go to his father first about the corpse in Xiacheng District.
Zhao Lan explained the purpose of his visit: "Dad, there are too many corpses in the Lower City. If they are just placed on the street, they will rot quickly. This will attract plague and plague. Then our Upper City will also suffer."
"Dad, why don't you go talk to the major mercenary groups? Each mercenary group will accept some corpses into the cemeteries they manage."
"Anyway, there are a lot of abandoned places in the cemetery, so we should make some space for burial."
Zhao Lan's mother, Mrs. Hailis, was also there and said, "This is not a flattering thing."
"Why should civilians be buried in other people's cemeteries for free?"
"If our Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group goes to complain, it will be a thankless task. Then they will have to accuse us of meddling in other people's business just because we are the oldest mercenary group in this mercenary city."
Zhao Lan was in a bad mood, so he subconsciously retorted: "Dear mother, the civilians you call do the dirtiest work for us every day. If there is an epidemic and they suddenly lose so much labor, you Are you going to do the dirty work in your eyes?"
Mrs. Haylis was so angry that her face turned pale. Look, this is the little sun in the arms of God that his uncle Ole said.
She would say this from time to time, and sometimes she, a mother, would not be able to eat for several days.
Mrs. Haylis was about to say something when Ole, with blue eyes and deep eyes, also walked in.
There was a smile on his face: "Gentlemen and ladies, why do I feel that something is wrong in the atmosphere? Did I come at the wrong time?"
In the room, Zhao Lan's face changed so quickly that Mrs. Hailis next to her felt as if her eyes were blocked. Zhao Lan's face suddenly glowed with a divine light.
Warmth, sunshine, youth, innocence.
Zhao Lan also smiled and said: "Dear uncle, you came just in time. I happened to come to see you for something. Do you know? My friend Xingdou and I suffered an assassination just now. I was still thinking that I would assassinate you at this time. The person from Xingdou must be the one who knows that I went to Xingdou to deduce clues about the murderer."
"When I came up with this idea, I immediately rejected it, because you seemed to be the only one who knew that I was looking for Xingdou. But how could Uncle Ole stop me from looking for clues about the murderer? Dear uncle, you Say yes?"
The expression on Ole's face was very surprised: "Dear nephew, you actually encountered an assassination? Who is so bold as to assassinate the heir of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group in the mercenary city?"
After saying that, he added: "Did I accidentally tell others about your going to Xingdou to calculate, and others told more people, you know, now it's about
There are no clues about the murderer, and Xingdou is the famous spirit clan who calculated that it rained for ten consecutive days. It is normal for everyone to care about and spread such news. "
"It's just that I'm very sorry. It seems that my quick words have caused a lot of trouble to you and your friends. I just want to find clues to the murderer as soon as possible. After all, ten of our Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group have also died. Several people."
Zhao Lan understood: "This is not your fault, dear uncle, you don't have to blame yourself."
"As for finding clues to the murderer early, that's for sure. If such a brutal murderer is caught, I think just lighting a sky lantern is the lightest punishment."
Ole: "..."
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.
Zhao Lan: "I'm sorry, my dear uncle, too many people died, so I got excited and said something I shouldn't have said."
"God so loved the world."
Ole also said piously: "God loves the world."
Captain Zhao frowned: "Someone assassinated you and your friends?"
In the mercenary city, assassinate the heir of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group.
Zhao Lan nodded: "The murderer is so unscrupulous. This is the first time I have encountered such a provocation."
After that, he returned to the topic: "Dad, you should consider my proposal. If you don't deal with the corpses of those civilians, we will also be dragged down by then."
Ole also asked a few questions, and then said: "Dear nephew, if you are worried about plague and plague, the holy water from our Holy See can solve this problem. Then we will go to the Lower City and sprinkle the holy water on these corpses. God will naturally protect them from causing disaster."
Zhao Lan opened his mouth, that holy water is pure water, don't you have any idea?
And Captain Zhao didn't care about this anymore. The heir was assassinated. This was a provocation to their iron-blooded mercenary group. He had to send someone to investigate the matter.
After talking for a while, they left.
Zhao Lan walked alone in the station, thinking about things.
Was it his uncle, or was it really someone else who rushed to pay someone to assassinate Xing Dou after learning the news?
It would take a lot of time to arrange such a series of hidden plans. Does this mean that this person is actually very close to me?
His uncle Ole had no reason to assassinate Xing Dou. The only advantage of assassinating Xing Dou was that Xing Dou would not be able to deduce clues to the murderer of the Scarlet Moon Night tragedy.
If it was really Uncle Ole, wouldn't it mean that there was some connection between Uncle Ole and the murderer?
Zhao Lan scratched his head, it felt like it was numb.
And what truth is hidden in the calculated word "中"?
very messy.
Zhao Lan walked through a messy place in the station, where there was a basement.
Zhao Lan couldn't help but pause for a moment. Why did it look like someone was walking in a disorderly manner?
He shook his head. It was such a dirty place, and he didn't know who would approach it. Then he left. He went back to his room to think about what the word "中" meant.
At this time, the basement.
Ole: "Now, some people are beginning to doubt me."
"If I'm exposed, you won't be able to hide your whereabouts any longer."
After a while, Andra, the priest of the gods in the darkness, said: "If you hadn't thought that
Yes, how could arranging an assassination cause so much trouble? Even if the assassination was to be carried out, one should not just find a waste from Chapter 7. "
Ole thought to himself, this is a city of mercenaries. Do you really think that it is easy to find an assassin who dares to attack the heir of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group and his friends in such a short period of time?
As for self-righteousness?
"The Spirit Clan named Xing Dou accurately calculated that he got here, so I had to take action."
Others cannot understand the word "中", but he knows its meaning.
In fact, the meaning is very simple. The Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group was the first to come to the ruins of the Mercenary City and start building the Mercenary City. The location of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group's station is the center of the entire Mercenary City.
That word, clear, accurate, telling everyone the specific location of the "murderer" so straightforwardly.
When he saw that word, he was so shocked that he couldn't describe it.
It's so accurate that it's so accurate that it's terrifying and impossible to hide.
After a while, Andra, the Priest of the Gods, said: "Are you an astrologer from the Spirit Tribe? Their predictions are inherently vague. You are just scaring yourself."
"I'll have someone deal with the problem in the security booth."
"The rest, you just have to keep quiet."
"This is the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group. Even if someone suspects it, it is impossible to enter and search."
Ole took a deep breath. The Holy See's plans for so many years must not be destroyed in the hands of the two monsters in Sin City.
But now, waiting to see what happens is indeed the best choice.
At this time, the city of mercenaries.
"I heard that Xing Dou, the spirit clan who once calculated that it would rain for ten consecutive days, helped us find clues to the murderer."
"I've heard about it too. It seems that the calculated result was "middle", and he was intercepted and assassinated for this reason."
"Hiss, who did it?"
"Who else could it be? It must be the murderer. He must have deduced the reason for this word."
Throughout the mercenary city, there was a wave of strange charade activities, and they could discuss everything.
Shen Yan was also in the shop looking at a piece of paper on the table with the word "中" on it.
What clue does this word point to?
Next to him, Bamboo was feeding Dudu, who had all gotten into the money drawer.
Dudu stuck his head out of the money drawer, his mouth wide open.
The tomato fish is sandwiched with bamboo shoots and the fish bones are sorted. Their tomato fish bones are very few, but sometimes there are a few.
Dudu was already howling, and the thorns were fed to him. He had good teeth and ate them all.
After feeding the fish, Bamboo Zi sat next to Shen Yan with a smile: "Shen Yan, what are you looking at?"
Shen Yan pointed to the words on the table.
Bamboo scratched his head, what is this word?
Asked the Holy Infant next to him.
Holy Infant: "In the middle, in the middle, the teacher has just taught you."
The other kids nodded.
Bamboo's neck shrank. Why didn't he know when the teacher taught him?
Sunzi quickly pretended to know him: "Isn't it just a "Zhong"? The middle one, Shen Yan, why did you look at it for so long?"
Shen Yan rubbed Bamboo's head in a funny way.
, if only it were that simple. ()

It certainly contains unimaginable esoteric meanings.
Compared to the curse-killing incident that shocked the entire city in Mercenary City, Brahma Emperor City was extremely lively today.
In fact, only a small part of the books printed by the abyss ghosts are sold in bulk, and most of them are sold directly to booksellers in various cities.
Especially a best-selling book like "Gollian's Travels" that is loved by all walks of life is destined to be a huge seller.
Come to think of it, the first volume was two hundred years ago. The accumulation of these two hundred years has attracted many waiting and anticipating readers.
Therefore, the humans and ghosts of the Abyss also printed an unimaginable amount.
Just as they imagined, it was immediately sold out by booksellers.
No matter whether they are nobles, mercenaries, scholars, poets, travelers, etc., everyone must have a copy.
The same goes for the merchants in Brahma Emperor City. They immediately purchased an astonishing amount. As soon as they publicized it, an unimaginably long queue formed outside the shop.
"Thank you, Ge Lian. The shop hasn't had such good business for a long time."
This time you will definitely make a fortune.
Books continue to be sold one after another, and the shipment volume is amazing.
People who bought the book also had a satisfied smile on their faces, and when they opened it and took a look, their eyes lit up.
Especially those nobles, travelers, scholars, and adventurous mercenaries. Others may just read it for fun, or follow the trend and buy it, but for them, the content in this book is too important to them.
Every word seems to be a revelation to them.
There was even a sage who once commented on this book. The comment was that the whole world is in this book, and one can understand the affairs of the world without leaving home.
I bought a book and went home. Today must be a day for reading.
The entire Brahma Emperor City is full of cultural atmosphere.
Even the Pope is full of joy. This is the Brahma Emperor City under his teachings. He feels that in a while, the Brahma Emperor City will even surpass Tang City, which is known as the cradle of culture.
Those people in Tangcheng always have a sense of arrogance, and they don't even look down on their theology. Sooner or later, they will know the greatness of God.
Until, the herald rushed into the church in a hurry, sweating profusely.
The pope's fingers tapped on the throne, reminding anyone who had entered in a hurry of their impoliteness.
The messenger took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then performed the supreme courtesy.
"Your Majesty, there are two things I must report to you."
The Pope said leisurely: "Speak."
Messenger: "The first thing is that Warden Belki has escaped."
The pope's finger tapping on the throne paused.
Warden Belki is the prison chief guarding Darkmoon Archbishop Geras. The Pope couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
Belki was promoted by him single-handedly. Although he was a little clever and skillful, he was not a traitor.
Messenger: "Maybe it has something to do with the second thing I said."
"Your Majesty, please immediately stop the dissemination of the second volume of "Golian's Travels" in Brahma Emperor City."
pope:"……"
The messenger respectfully opened the
The second volume of Golian's Travels () was presented to the Pope.
The whole book "Ge Li'an Travel" is very thick, with a lot of content.
The page that opened was just a one sandwiched in the middle, but the Pope just glanced and stood up from his throne.
The blasphemy, the blasphemy is the Holy See, the ridicule and defense of the gods.
This is what has never dared to do since the Holy See dominates the City of Vatican.
It clearly records the persecution of the Moji family's righteous and upright family, and the history of the Dark Moon School.
It even pointed out straightforwardly that the pusher behind was everything led by the Holy See.
The text was like being able to stabbed people's eyes. It was shocking, and it was shocking to see.
The Pope knew why the prison official Belki fled.
The Moji family is just, but people who know the history of the Dark Moon sect are only the Bishop Gelas.
For hundreds of years, Jelas was closed for hundreds of years, and it was impossible to contact other people at all, and it was impossible to spread any news at all. He was very sure.
Then the only thing that can be heard is Bellki, who is in contact with Grand Bishop Jelas.
This is the betrayal of red/naked!
Belki was deceived by the Bishop Jeras and betrayed him.
How long have they colluded? How much he did with him did what he didn't know?
He should have been angry, but now it is not a time to anger.
Pope: "How much did this book spread?"
Chuan Zhi: "Many, those damn book vendors sell the book throughout the entire Van Emperor City."
The sound seemed to have a curse.
I don't know how long, the Pope said: "Book vendors were bewildered by pagans and blaspheme the gods, but God loves the world, and will forgive their sins. Take them to confess their regrets, and they will read them to the world. The sin, as for their shop, all blockade. "
"For the people of Van Emperor City are not bewildered by the devil, the priest of the Holy See should walk into every family and burn the ban in public. If someone has a private book, it is undoubtedly a pagan. "
"The pagan should be burned in public in the square, and their soul can be purified and returned to God's embrace. This is God's tolerance for them."
The rumors said directly: "The people of Van Emperor City will definitely be grateful to the kindness of the pope."
The Pope did not think: "I remember a large number of scholars who had specially studied" Ge Li Anyou ", speculating that his author is a human."
"The book" Ge Li'an Travel "was published 200 years ago. If Ge Gulian is a human, how can you live to the present? Gulian's reputation, Gulian is a devout believers. "
The eyes of the rumors could not help but light up.
"The tutoring under the crown will be spread all over the entire Van Emperor City as soon as possible."
After passing the person going down.
Soon, the entire Van Emperor City was lively.
The first is that the content in that book is just as shocking as pollution of the believers.
The second is that they have never seen before, the church daily
The loving priest broke into the family of every parish.
A large group of Holy See Knights,
Under the leadership of the priest, he rushed into the nobles,
Families in civilians, the scene is too thrilling.
What is even more frightening is that the number of amazing pagans appeared, and they never knew that there were so many pagans hidden.
These pagans were tied to the square and purified in the fire.
There were many people watching.
"Some people dare to borrow the believers of God, the name of Jia Gulian, and spread the blasphemy."
"This book is fake, this is the conspiracy of a pagan."
"These pagans actually hide the prostitutes and gods forbidden books."
"You must burn to death."
If the city of mercenaries staged a disaster, then Van Emperor City staged crazy.
At the same time as crazy, why these devout believers are so disturbed, just like ... just like they are also no different from those pagans who have been burned to death.
This idea is too scary. In order to show differently, they become more crazy.
Chaos, crazy, who can think of it is just a turbulence caused by a book.
"There are still many pagans who collect banned books in the city. If you have clues, you will report it to the priest as soon as possible."
"The pagan who pretended to be Ge'an is the culprit."
"Damn, heresy."
"The Pope has ordered the heresy ruling group to hunt him."
"You must be the most cruel torture."
"I want to report, the poet from Tangcheng, he also bought a book" Ge Li Anyou "..."
Faith in the hotel, at this time, a priest was pushing the door with a bunch of Holy See Knights.
It was a young poet who leaned lazily on the window sill and was holding a book in his hand to read it.
For those who rushed in, the young poet didn't seem to care, and even commented in front of them.
"Van Emperor City is really lively. The fireworks in the square are here. Yesterday, the Pope was still showing off his education to me. Why did you suddenly come up with so many pagans today?"
"And the content in this book, don't you think it is particularly interesting?"
All was quiet.
The priest Keruard stepped forward: "Su Mu, we have always regarded you as the friend of the Holy See."
"Many people now see you buy this blasphemy book."
"It is the mean method of pagan confusion. For the reputation of the Holy See, please also cooperate with our actions."
The young poet yawned: "But how do I feel that I write it particularly?"
reality?
The atmosphere suddenly solidified.
Many believers have gathered outside the hotel, and the siege of pagans is affirmation of their faith.
Father Keruard: "Sorry, we have to catch you."
The Holy See knight raised his weapon and rushed up after a order.
The young man named Su Mu sighed and sang in his mouth: "In ancient times, Su Wuning died and unsopured shepherd ..."
"In ancient times, the lambs could have kneeling grace, and crows also feeded affection ..."
With the strange chanting, in the shadow of the young man's poet, a large group of sheep and crows came out, and the knights who rushed up were rushed.
Then I looked out the window: "In the ancient times, Xun Peng Fu shake up, hit 90,000 miles in Changkong ..."
The young man's body turned into a huge bird and flew away out of the window.
A group of knights quickly asked the priest Ke Rud: "Adult, we continue to hunt up this pagan?"
The corner of the priest Ke Ruda took a while.
This man comes from Tangcheng, and he just did it, and it was troublesome to chase.
Tangcheng, like Hero City, is a very ancient force, known as the cradle of culture, and is rich in fighting poets.
There are not many people in Tangcheng's name, but they are very famous.
For example, the last monarch of the blood dynasty, the blood of the monarch, is said to have been studying in the university of Tangcheng. His ideas of unreightly kill the nobles to kill the nobles are said to have been learned during the study of Tangcheng.
Moreover, the people in Tangcheng have noble blood. They can even get the recognition of the heroes with blood and strange verses alone, and summon the heroes from Mengyuan to reality. !
