Are you crazy! You call this an assist?

"Qianye... I really hope it is Lao Yan who is looking for me."

Jiang Chen muttered in his heart.

Qianye, the lord of Qiantian City, is known as the first of the eight lords of royal cities.

Wenzhi and martial arts are comprehensive.

A senior researcher in the background story of [Gods] in the past life said that Qianye may not be the most powerful, but he is definitely the most troublesome to his opponents.

For such a character, Jiang Chen's attitude is still very cautious.

He was wondering why the other party wanted to see him.

"Let's go, adventurer-sama."

The guard shouted again, bringing Jiang Chen back from his distracted thoughts.

"OK."

Jiang Chen nodded and followed the guards.

Immediately, several people walked along the spiral staircase of the palace until they reached the fifth floor.

There is a wide door on the front.

This is where the city lord conducts official business.

At the guard's signal, Jiang Chen walked straight in.

The facilities inside are extremely simple, with nothing else except a long wooden table and a few chairs.

In front of the wooden table, there was a tall, thin man in black sitting.

He looks about forty years old.

The information shows that his name is [Qianye]!

The most striking thing is that he has a strange character tattooed on the right side of his forehead.

This is not the common font of the continent of gods, but the text of the half-orc tribe, which means "slave"!

As far as Jiang Chen knew, Qianye's background information said that when he was a child, his village was plundered by a group of orcs, and he was captured and used as a slave!

The word "slave" from the orc clan on his forehead was also tattooed at that time.

I saw Qianye frowning and thinking, while tapping the table with his index finger rhythmically.

When he saw Jiang Chen come in, he stopped his fingers and said, "Your Excellency, please take a seat."

"Qian City Lord knows me?"

Jiang Chen asked and sat on the chair generously.

"guessed."

Qianye looked at Jiang Chen and said quietly: "At the same time, I also confirmed it with Yan Changfeng."

Jiang Chen asked again: "Thousand City Lord, are you looking for me?"

Qianye did not answer, but asked: "If I guessed correctly, you should be going to the Winter Icefield soon, right?"

How do you know this?

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It should be."

"should……"

After Qianye pondered for a moment, he continued: "So, you haven't accepted the mission to the Winter Icefield yet, and you don't know what the mission is."

"Yeah, I don't know what the mission is."

Jiang Chen nodded and said with some confusion: "You know?"

"I know."

Qianye said slowly: "When my Sword Master brother issued the Luo Yun Mountain mission, I knew what he wanted to do."

"So what exactly is the mission?"

Jiang Chen's face became more and more confused, why did Wuming's mission involve Qianye?

"There's a damn guy trapped in the Winter Icefield. I thought Senior Brother Wuming would handle it personally, but I didn't expect him to hand over the task to the adventurers. It's a pity."

Qianye said to himself.

Although he didn't quite understand the full meaning of the other party's words, Jiang Chen still got some useful information from them.

He asked: "So, this mission is to kill the guy trapped in the Winter Icefield?"

"Yes, but..."

Qianye paused and said slowly: "I don't want that guy to die like this!"

"What?"

Jiang Chen was stunned. He thought he heard wrongly, "You don't want that guy to die?"

"That's why I came to you!"

Qianye looked at Jiang Chen intently and said seriously: "I hope you will not complete the mission and disrupt the situation so that other adventurers cannot complete the mission. I know you have this ability."

"Don't want to complete the task? Wait..."

Jiang Chen quickly waved his hand and said quickly: "No, does Qian City Lord know what the mission reward is?"

Qianye said calmly: "Tell me about it."

"A piece of unleveled king's equipment!"

Jiang Chen then said: "Besides, if I don't complete the task, not only will the reward be gone, but I will also be punished!"

"I'm really willing to give it!"

Qianye smiled and then said: "I can also give you a piece of unleveled king's equipment. As for the punishment, just don't accept the task. You should know that not completing the task is much easier than completing the task!"

"I'm afraid it won't work if I don't accept the mission."

Jiang Chen paused and said: "Brother Wuming came to me in advance, and I have already agreed, otherwise I would not know what the reward is."

The most important thing is that Wuming still has some affection for him.

If the two sides go against each other in this matter, the relationship between the two parties may turn from friendly to hostile.

The other party is the unknown swordsman!

The losses behind it are immeasurable.

"It turns out that he has already contacted you in advance. It seems that your relationship is pretty good..."

Qianye frowned and murmured: "If this is the case, it will not be easy to handle."

Seeing that the other party was deep in thought, Jiang Chen asked, "Can I ask why City Lord Qian doesn't want the mission to be completed?"

Qianye asked: "Do you know who the mission target is?"

Jiang Chen asked curiously: "Who?"

Qianye said in a deep voice: "The half-orc prince, Sark!"

Orc prince?

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and subconsciously glanced at the tattoo on the other person's forehead.

He remembered that Qianye hated the Orcs the most, so why would he stop the mission of killing the Orc prince?

Jiang Chen asked very puzzledly: "Since it is trapped, wouldn't it be good to kill it?"

"It's not bad, but..."

Qianye paused and said: "I have always advocated a full-scale war with the Orcs, but because they have kept a low profile in recent years, many people on our side do not agree with the war. Sark is my biggest opportunity!"

"An all-out war with the Orcs?"

A trace of surprise arose in Jiang Chen's heart, and then he asked with some confusion: "Why is Sark your biggest opportunity?"

"Shaco has the purest blood of the Orc King. As long as it doesn't die, the Orcs will not give up the opportunity to save it. Then there will naturally be a chance to cause a greater conflict. Once there is an opportunity, war is inevitable! "

"But if Sark dies so quietly, the orcs will just choose to swallow their anger and want to start a full-scale war. The chance is slim."

Qianye spoke slowly, his seemingly calm eyes full of murderous intent.

"I probably understand..."

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then thought for a while and said, "There is no other way to cause a war?"

"Other ways?"

Qianye's eyes narrowed slightly, then he shook his head and said: "Unless we capture another half-orc princess, the Imperial City will definitely not agree to this matter!"

"Both the Holy See of Light and the Imperial City have interests involved, and they don't want to start a full-scale war with the Orcs. Even as the lord of a city, I have to face a lot of pressure. Otherwise, I would have killed the Orcs alone. clan territory!”

Qianye just finished speaking.

A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face, and he said slowly: "You can't go, but I can go!
