As his name suggests, Old Jack looks very old indeed, with white hair, sunken eye sockets, and somewhat cloudy eyes.
He looked like he was not in a good state of mind.
But when he entered the yard, Gu Yuan saw many flowers planted in the corner, and they looked well taken care of. Old Jack's house was also clean.
Although he is an old man living alone, Old Jack must be a person who loves life very much.
Old Jack had never met Gu Yuan, but when he knew that the sand python meat Tucker sent yesterday was a gift from him, Old Jack slowly stood up and expressed his gratitude to Gu Yuan.
He is old and alone, so Tucker and the others often come to help him. The meat Tucker sent yesterday was enough for him to eat for a long time.
It’s just that Old Jack is old, a little lethargic, and always groggy. Tucker told Gu Yuan that if you have anything to ask, ask quickly. Maybe in the next second, Old Jack will fall asleep on the chair.
What's even worse is that in the past two years, Old Jack's mind has become a little unclear, and he often talks nonsense. Fortunately, he is sober now.
After explaining this, Tucker walked out first.
When he asked Murad and others about their purpose, Gu Yuan did not elaborate. Tucker knew that it would be better for him not to know about the subsequent conversation between them and Old Jack.
He is also curious, but he doesn't want to hear anything he shouldn't know, which will cause trouble for him.
After Tucker left, Murad squatted in front of Old Jack.
"Old Jack, I know you have been to the inner city before, so I want to ask you about the situation in the inner city."
"Inner city? Oh! Mr. Murad, do you want to hear the story of the inner city? That's great! Believe me, Mr. Murad, the inner city of a city-state is the most beautiful place in the world. The people living there are real aristocrats, their houses are so beautiful, even their tableware is made of the purest silver, and in their flower beds, colorful flowers are blooming..."
"Wait..." Murad was a little confused, "Old Jack, you may have misunderstood. That's not what I want to know."
He knew that this was Old Jack's old habit that he had committed again, and he must not let the other party continue talking at this time.
Why does even Blair know that Old Jack knows what's going on in the inner city? It was because the other party always liked to tell stories about what he saw and heard in the inner city over and over again, for fear that others would not know that he had been to the inner city and worked there.
For old Jack, this seems to be a supreme honor!
There was almost no one in the nearby blocks who had not heard Old Jack's old stories, and Old Jack was always fond of them. In the early years, whenever he caught someone, he would talk about what he saw and heard in the inner city.
In the past few years, Old Jack's legs and feet have become worse, and there have been fewer opportunities to tell these stories.
Now seeing someone taking the initiative to ask, Old Jack has seized the opportunity.
Old Jack was also known for his good temper. After a long discussion, he was interrupted by Murad at the beginning of his speech. There was no sullen expression on his face, but he just looked at the other person curiously.
"Don't you want to know this? Then what do you want to know?"
Murad was also stunned, and subconsciously turned to look at Gu Yuan behind him.
"Ahem, Old Jack, have you met His Majesty the King?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Of course!" Old Jack said immediately, "Of course I have met His Majesty the Great King. It was also in the inner city. That year, His Majesty the King went on a trip and paraded the streets with floats..."
"Your Majesty, what does it look like? Do you remember?"
"Oh... His Majesty the King certainly looks extremely handsome and majestic! He is tall and heroic. To this day, I still remember his heroic appearance!"
Speaking of His Majesty the King, Old Jack used too many words of praise.
It's like chewing Xuanmai, you can't stop at all.
Gu Yuan didn't know whether what the other party said was true or false.
, but thinking that the residents of the city-state had a blind worship of His Majesty the King, Gu Yuan still felt that what Old Jack said now was open to question.
"Old Jack, can you describe the terrain of the inner city to us?" Gu Yuan asked.
When Old Jack heard this, his eyes immediately became wary.
"Terrain? Are you planning to... go to the inner city?"
Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Just when he was thinking about how to explain, Old Jack laughed.
"I understand. You want to sneak into the inner city and take a sneak peek at His Majesty the King's face, right?"
"Ah, yes, yes!" Blair immediately winked and said, "That's His Majesty the King! I have only seen the statue of His Majesty the King when I grew up. To be honest, I am really curious about the relationship between His Majesty the King and the statue. Similar, you know, as long as I can see His Majesty the King, no matter how big the risk I take, it is worth it!"
Old Jack was not worried about whether the other party would do anything detrimental to His Majesty the King.
In the Kingdom of Sand, everyone respects His Majesty the King from the bottom of their hearts.
How could anyone want to threaten His Majesty the King?
Moreover, in the eyes of the people of the Kingdom of Sand, His Majesty the King is also invincible.
No one can pose a threat to His Majesty the King!
"Mr. Murad, I hope you can understand that it is very dangerous for us people to enter the inner city. If we enter without permission, the inner city guards have the right to execute us directly!" Old Jack's His expression suddenly became serious and he said, "You have to think clearly."
Murad nodded immediately.
"I think clearly."
"It seems that you really have a reason to go... Well, give me some time and I can draw you a map of the inner city." Old Jack said with a smile.
Gu Yuan and Murad looked at each other, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.
None of them expected that things would progress so smoothly.
"If that's the case, that's great!" Murad said immediately.
Gu Yuan was more direct, putting paper and pen into Old Jack's hands. .
Then, Old Jack sat on the chair, writing and drawing, still talking casually.
"The terrain of the inner city has long been imprinted on my mind... I even know where their sentries are!"
Hearing this, Murad felt happy.
If he could really grasp the location of the sentry in the inner city, then even he would have the lowest risk of sneaking into the inner city!
"This old Jack is really a capable man!" Murad sighed to Gu Yuan beside him in a low voice.
Gu Yuan glanced at Old Jack who was looking at him quietly, and nodded slightly.
They came to see Old Jack to try their luck, but they didn't expect to get such a big harvest.
This is indeed exciting news!
He didn't know how long it would take Old Jack. Gu Yuan didn't want to waste all his time on this matter, so he stood up and walked to the yard.
Murad followed behind and asked, "Sir, are you going somewhere?"
"Well, I have something to do and I will be back soon. Just wait for me here." Gu Yuan glanced at Murad and said.
The latter nodded quickly.
But what he didn't expect was that Gu Yuan didn't walk out of the yard, but just disappeared in front of him.
"Huh?"
He quickly walked to where Gu Yuan was standing before and looked around. He really couldn't figure out how Gu Yuan disappeared out of thin air.
"Uncle Mu, look at your feet!" Blair reminded suddenly and excitedly.
Murad glanced at Blair, lowered his head in confusion, and looked at his feet. Only then was he surprised to find that at some point, there was an extra hole in the ground.
Entered the yard before
At that time, all he could think about was Fina's safety, but he didn't pay much attention to the environment here.
"Did this hole just appear, or did it exist before?" After all, old Jack likes to plant flowers, so it seems that it is not unusual to have a hole in his yard.
"This hole just appeared, I swear! I definitely didn't see this hole before I came in!" Blair said quickly.
Murad was silent for a long time and shook his head slightly.
He couldn't connect the hole in the ground with Gu Yuan.
After all, there are too many doubts about that gentleman with great supernatural powers.
However, Murad always believed that at this moment, the other party was firmly on his side.
"No matter what, I have to believe sir." He murmured.
I don't know if I'm telling Blair or myself.
After all now.
Gu Yuan is his only hope to save his wife, but he doesn't think he is really that capable!
When he met Yun Sheng before, he had thought about using the earth escape technique to see if there were really any secrets hidden underground in this city-state.
He originally thought that he would take action after sending Fang Lan to Block 3, but he didn't expect that the city-state didn't give him this chance at all and actually attacked Fang Lan directly.
But as soon as he entered the underground, Gu Yuan felt a cold breath. .
Almost instantly, he realized that he had been locked by a powerful force.
There was a rustling sound in my ears.
He slowly closed his eyes and began to release his spiritual consciousness. The rustling sounds hidden in the ground became clearer. Suddenly, his expression suddenly changed. Without thinking, he circulated Yuan Qi in his body and formed a wave. layer barrier.
Countless things hit the barrier, making weird "tearing" sounds.
It was like something was instantly ignited.
Without any time to think, Gu Yuan quickly used the Earth Escape Technique again, escaped from the underground world, and returned to the familiar courtyard, but the cold aura still existed in his body.
He recalled everything he had just captured with his spiritual consciousness, his face was solemn, and his eyes were full of shock.
"gentlemen!"
Gu Yuan suddenly disappeared and reappeared just now, startling Murad and Blair who were guarding the yard. When they walked up to them, they heard Gu Yuan muttering something.
"Sandworms... there are sandworms everywhere... underneath the city-state, there are actually densely packed sandworms!"
