"Jobu, what's that look in your eyes? Tell me clearly. Don't be secretive. Say what you have to say." City Lord Simmons' heart beat suddenly and he quickly cleared away his involvement. He could bear the charge of attacking the apprentice. Sorry. He glanced at Ivan, but fortunately Ivan's expression didn't change much. "Lord City Lord, I really said it." "explain." "That's the order you personally gave." Under the urging of the city lord, the guard who was originally hesitant told the truth. The other guards nodded, expressing their agreement with Job's words. "Nonsense, when did I give the order?" Simmons' face was very dark. "Last night." Now that this miserable situation was happening, Job was ready to take the risk. "Sir City Lord, you said it yourself, and I can vouch for it." Another guard next to him said, and others agreed.
"Shut up, everyone. How could father issue such an outrageous order?" Naxi scolded hurriedly. The attack on the apprentice was the following crime, and the person offended was the Mona Ant Farm House. This kind of crime would kill the entire Albert family, so how could he not be anxious. "Naxi, shut up and let them continue talking about what happened." Simmons knew that covering up was useless, so it was better to tell the truth exactly and find flaws in it. The personal guard bluntly said that it was the order given by the city lord, and it was clear-cut and well-founded, which made Simmons and his son's eyelids jump and they couldn't help but look at Ivan. Ivan knew in his heart that the situation should have nothing to do with the Simmons and his son. "Your Excellency Yi Wen, do you think?" "Whatever they have on them, bring them up for me to see." "Please come this way." In another room on the side of the cell, the long table was filled with miscellaneous items that could hardly be placed. Ivan turned his head and looked at the city lord in surprise. Simmons explained: "I sent someone to the place where they usually live and brought over all the special items." "I'm determined." Yi Wen nodded slightly and looked at the items on the table, including weapons, leather armor, disposable runes, various potions, books, magic stones, etc. His eyes stayed on the magic stones, and he picked up one of them and began to ponder it carefully. . Not far away, Simmons and his son looked at each other thoughtfully. Simmons gestured to Naxi, and Naxi left in a hurry. After a while, Ivan pointed to some of the magic stones: "I want to take these magic stones away." "I understand." Simmons understood and found a box to put all the magic stones in. There were only eight pieces in total. Ivan didn't pay attention to his little actions. "Mr. Simmons, can I ask you a question?" "Your Excellency, please tell me. I will tell you everything I know."
"Tell me about Stone Brook Town. What's so special about this place? I believe you, the Abel family, know something about it, right?" "this---" Upon hearing his question, Simmons' expression froze. Ivan looked at him steadily: "Can't you tell me?" Simmons nodded gently: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, there is a blood contract, and this information must not be revealed from the Albert family. If it is violated, we will be in jeopardy." At this time, Naxi happened to rush back. He handed a box to Simmons, and Simmons handed it to Ivan. "Your Excellency, you helped my Albert family eliminate the trouble. Small gifts are not respectful." "Well, then I'm welcome." Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, Ivan took the box away and reminded him: "It's not necessarily true that it will be cleaned up, but now that we have clues, the matter will be solved soon. Please be more vigilant in the near future." "Forgetting your trouble." After seeing him take action, Simmons' attitude seemed to be much more respectful, and he had already classified him as a senior apprentice like Heidi. When he accepted his gift, Simmons and his son were obviously relieved. After returning to his residence, Ivan opened the gift box, which contained twenty low-grade magic stones. For a border city lord, this was indeed a considerable gift. With Yi Wen's current vision, he would not take a mere twenty magic stones to heart. "It turns out that the problem lies with the magic stone. It's really hard to guard against." He picked out seven pieces from a pile of magic stones, and then picked out three pieces from the seven. By comparing the strange traces inside these magic stones, he could determine that the medium he needed to find was the magic stone in front of him. The magic stone is of high value, and with the magic stone as a medium, it is unknown how many people will be tricked without knowing it. No wonder even the city lord's personal guards cannot avoid it. He suddenly thought of the three men, Simmons and his son, and wondered who among the three had become a pawn. "It seems that I have to be more careful tonight." He took out a rune pen and a small bottle of elemental ink, wrote a rune directly on the box, and temporarily sealed the magic stone until Heidi or the hunting team came back to deal with it. Time passed minute by minute, and what he didn't expect was that until dark, there was no reply from Gina, and no one from the hunting team returned. It seemed like an agreement had been made between the two parties. "These bastards have no sense of the overall situation." Ivan couldn't help but curse. In this situation, it was difficult to say that the two teams had not found any clues. They just had their own thoughts, but they both excluded him from the mission. Under the cover of night, he left the residence arranged for them by the city lord. They had to find a place to hide tonight to avoid being found. Late at night, multiple dark figures appeared in front of the house, two of them were wearing apprentice robes, and the others were dressed as adventurers. The door opened silently, and several people entered one after another, rushing directly to Ivan's bedroom, but they found nothing. The target figure was not found anywhere else. One of the apprentices, Yousai, cursed: "What a cunning boy, he actually hid somewhere else." Another person, Alan, said: "This is normal. Your assassination during the day has already scared him. The people in the Mona Ant Farm Hut should not be underestimated."
"What should we do now? "First deal with the other group of people. We have laid a heavy bait, and they will soon be fooled and fall into the trap. Then we will let them take advantage of us. " Time was running out, so Yusai and the others didn't stay long. They hurried to the south wall of Swamp Forest City, where guards met them and quietly sent them out of the city. Outside the city, several demonized beasts were waiting there in an orderly manner. When they saw Yusai and Allen, the demonized beasts approached them intimately. Alan noticed something and activated a secret mark. A light and shadow emerged, revealing a vague female ~ apprentice figure. "Melinda, the distance was too far just now, and I couldn't contact you." "Don't talk nonsense. How are you guys doing? Did you kill that guy?" "No one was found. The kid was very cunning and hid first. After all, this is not our territory, so it is not appropriate to search it in a big way." "Forget it, come here quickly, they have taken the bait." Hearing the words from the other side, Allen and Yusai's eyes lit up, and a group of people rode on the demonized beasts and quickly rushed away from Swamp Forest City.
