Infinite Lucky Emperor
Chapter 73: eavesdrop
"Should we go in and see?"
Xia Ruize was eager to try it out, [Phantom Free Heart] is indeed a skill of the yellow middle grade, it is very practical, and it is completely suitable for use in the current situation, following those men in black into the city lord's mansion or something, thinking about it is a little excited.
"Okay, you can try." Cheng Huai thought about it and still supported it, but just mentioned the situation he had observed: "The moment the three people entered the city lord's mansion, I felt an unknown energy fluctuation around the city lord's mansion, I doubt it. It is a special protection method, I don’t know the solution for the time being, try it, maybe you can go in.”
Xia Ruize turned on the space retrospective to feel carefully, but he couldn't detect anything, but he trusted Cheng Huaiqian, so he was more cautious.
Illusions can deceive the senses of intelligent creatures to a certain extent, but if the City Lord's Mansion is protected by any protective cover, they still need to break the protective cover before entering.
The two walked around to the side of the city lord's mansion. Cheng Huaiqian held Xia Ruize down and tried to jump to the courtyard wall first, but at this moment, Xia Ruize, who had activated the spatial backtracking skill, noticed that an energy fluctuation suddenly appeared above the courtyard wall. The transparent barrier blocked Cheng Huaiqian, who was trying to enter the hospital, and even pushed the person out.
Cheng Huaiqian stomped on the courtyard wall next to him, and once again leaped to the courtyard wall with the help of his strength. The big knife in his hand slashed **** the transparent barrier. This time, a larger energy fluctuation was stimulated, and the impact of the rebound was even stronger. Big, pushed Cheng Huaiqian out.
Xia Ruize caught the person with telekinesis. The two of them changed directions and continued to test. They found that the entire city lord's mansion was under the protection of this energy shield. Xia Ruize even released Da Hei and Xiao Hei to try to enter the city lord's mansion from the air, but neither of them failed. can succeed.
At the same time, the city lord's mansion was disturbed, a large number of torches were lit, and many sergeants poured out of the city lord's mansion, hunting down Xiao Xiao who tried to invade the city lord's mansion.
Xia Ruize jumped on the wall of the courtyard next to him, looked at the bustling city lord's mansion, and tried to find the reason why the sergeants could freely enter and leave the city lord's mansion.
The common denominator was quickly found. Those sergeants all wore a special waist card, which was probably a token of identification between the enemy and the enemy.
Cheng Huaiqian released the high-level evil spirit who had just joined the team, and saw a small black ball rushing towards a sergeant of Wu. Soon, the five sergeants turned stiffly into the dark alley, away from the large army, left. Turn right, and finally pass out in a hidden corner.
Da Hei and Xiao Hei Yibat carried a few waist cards and sent them to Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian. The two of them got the key token and walked in through the gate of the City Lord's Mansion while holding the illusion.
Sure enough, there was no inexplicable energy fluctuation to stop them this time.
After entering the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and bypassing the shadow wall, the two saw a spacious martial arts field. There were stairs behind the martial arts field to go up to the high platform. There was a conference hall on the plane where the high platform was located.
At this time, the lights in the conference hall were bright, and everyone was surrounded by a tall and strong middle-aged man listening to the sergeant's report.
"Report! Lord City Lord, no abnormality was found on the north side!"
"Report! Lord City Lord, no abnormalities were found on the east side!"
…
The Lord of the City has sharp eyes, but just standing there, he exudes a strong coercion, without needing to approach, Xia Ruize can feel that the Lord of the City is of extraordinary strength.
"The anti-spirit mask has been attacked many times in a short period of time. The opponent is afraid that he will come prepared. Lord City Lord, do you want to expand the search range?"
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who had seen the city guard team several times from a distance, were following the city lord and suggested.
"Forget it, close the team. If they want to hide, let them hide. Anyway, there is an anti-spirit hood, and no one can break in."
The city lord of Ping An City had a strong voice, and it was not too surprising to hear the sergeant's report that he could not find the unscrupulous person, and decisively ordered to withdraw his troops.
This withdrawal of soldiers actually found that the situation was not right, and unknowingly, there was a small soldier missing!
The defense team captain frowned, and his voice was eager:
"Lord City Lord, this is troublesome, the access cards on them may fall into the hands of the villains."
The city owner was also a little displeased, and ordered: "Go find someone first, and replace a spirit shield if you can't find it before dawn."
As long as the anti-spirit cover is replaced, the original access cards will no longer work. The only trouble is that it will take a while to replace the anti-spirit cover and everyone's access cards.
After speaking, the city lord turned around and returned to the discussion hall with his personal attendants.
"Lord City Lord, a large number of foreigners have poured into Ping An City recently, and the security pressure in the city has increased greatly. Do you want to prevent more people from entering?"
The captain of the defense team quickly chased after him and asked.
The defense team is not only responsible for protecting Ping An City from being invaded by evil spirits, but also responsible for maintaining order in Ping An City. The task of training temporary team members has recently been added. The task is really heavy and it is a bit overwhelming.
Now there are even thugs who dare to attack the City Lord's Mansion and successfully escape. He, the captain of the defense team, is under great pressure.
"No, this year's full moon robbery is a big threat, and we need more power to help us get through the city of Ping An together. Not only do we not need to block it, but we continue to release news to other cities to attract more spirit hunting warriors."
The city lord rejected the proposal of the captain of the defense team, noticed that the captain of the defense team was a little embarrassed, and reassured:
"Don't you have a lot of temporary team members recently? You can let them participate in daily patrol and duty tasks to reduce your own pressure."
The captain of the defense team seemed to be persuaded, and nodded to indicate that he would do as the city lord asked.
"Okay, it's too late, let's rest, and report to me tomorrow the number of people who left the city tonight and the number of people who came back."
Waving his hand to indicate that the captain of the defense team can go to rest, the city lord bypassed the discussion hall and walked to the courtyard behind.
Of course, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian chose to follow the city lord inward, but before passing through a small gate, they stopped because the city lord who stepped forward once again stimulated a wave of energy.
"It seems that there is also a spirit shield here, but there may not be many people with access cards."
Xia Ruize didn't rashly attack the anti-spirit cover, which would reveal that they had information on how to enter the city lord's mansion, and said with a pity, if only the people closest to the city lord had the access card of this layer of anti-spirit cover, wouldn't they think about it? Sneak in?
"Even if we can't get in, we should go back to rest."
Cheng Huaiqian pretended to be indifferent and persuaded, but in fact he was full of expectations. With a lover by his side, he was very much looking forward to the sleep time he hated before.
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information tonight, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian climbed over the courtyard wall and left the City Lord's Mansion. As for their access cards, Da Hei and Xiao Hei returned them.
If the anti-spirit cover is not changed, they can use the same method to enter the City Lord's Mansion in the future.
The training on the third day suddenly became easier. Although the running speed in the morning running training was further improved, it only took three laps to run, and most of the soldiers successfully completed the training task and ate breakfast.
The morning shooter training is no longer for the soldiers to continuously practice shooting targets, but to practice cooperation with each other.
The soldiers of one Wu are lined up in a row, and the four soldiers are arranged in four rows. The first row shoots five arrows in a row and then quickly moves away from the position to reload the arrows at the end. The second row continues like this. In this way, as long as the cooperation With a tacit understanding, the attack of the Spirit Archer can always be uninterrupted.
The assessment at the end of the morning training is also easier than before. It only takes four rows of soldiers to complete three rounds of alternation in five minutes. With the completion of the assessment, most of the soldiers successfully ate their lunch.
During the lunch, many soldiers sighed happily:
"It should be like this today. The training tasks for the first two days were completely deceiving people, and I simply didn't want us to get the spirit stone. It should be like this today in the future!"
According to the current rhythm, wouldn't everyone get a spirit stone today?
Thinking of this, the soldiers couldn't help but be overjoyed, insisting that the training arrangement of the first two days was a test for them, those who were afraid of hardship and fatigue would be eliminated, and those who persisted would be rewarded.
The difficulty of training in the afternoon was also eased. After a little physical training, the military barracks issued standard swords with special lines, one for each soldier, to learn the standard swordsmanship of the defense team, and then practice fighting with Wu as a unit. Cooperate.
Compared with the previous two days, this kind of training task is really too easy, and there is a happy atmosphere among the soldiers.
So, when the soldiers learned before dinner that they would follow the official moat team members to participate in the duty mission tonight, they didn't find it too difficult to accept because of the reward spirit stones they got in advance.
Cheng Huaiqian also used the two spirit stones distributed in the past two days to bribe the two corps leaders to agree to swap places between him and one of Xia Ruize's corps.
After hesitating for a while, the two corps leaders who were successively "corrupted" by the spirit stones agreed. Anyway, the upper echelons of the moat wouldn't care which team these temporary members should be in.
Before the night darkened, the task list for the night duty was drawn out. A team of temporary members would follow a team of regular members, and they would be on duty in different areas for two hours.
Before and after the duty, it is time to rest. In order to give the soldiers a better rest, the training on the fourth morning only started at 6 am.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were assigned to the second batch and were on duty from 10:00 pm to 12:00 pm. Before this time, the two of them were too late to leave the city, so they turned their attention to other testers after a long time.
They slipped out of the barracks as soon as the rest time two days ago, and seven of the eight people they marked as suspected trial people had come together closely.
After announcing the duty arrangements, the soldiers were freed, and the six trialists took advantage of the night to go to a remote part of the barracks to discuss, completely unaware that there were two people listening not far away.
Xia Ruize deeply understands why people with invisible abilities in movies always do bad things, and the feeling of doing bad things that others don't know is really addicting. With Xinwang, doing bad things without affecting his communication with his teammates is a perfect match.
"What exactly does this mission want us to do? Up to now, we have only been locked in the military camp for training, and the 'giant shadow' mentioned in the main mission has no shadow at all. The difficulty of the survival mission cannot be reflected in the difficulty of training, right?"
The middle-aged lady who is doing the task of ascending the area is anxious to ask her experienced teammates for help. She has experienced seven or eight mission worlds in the white paper area. Task.
"Don't worry, you have to change your mind. Unlike the tasks in the white paper area, which are usually very short in time, the task time in the bamboo and silk area will become the longest. I heard that someone spent several months in the mission world.
Moreover, the background of the quest world in the Bamboo and Silk District is more complex, and the danger will not be put in front of you as soon as it comes up like the quest world in the white paper area. In this case, you need to explore it patiently first. I don't know how he died.
Besides, yesterday we have arranged for Xiaodong to be eliminated on purpose, and he will pass on the information he collects outside. "
The square-faced captain who claimed to have gone through multiple tasks in the bamboo and silk area comforted him, but the expression on his face was not easy.
He is comforting the middle-aged lady, and in fact he is comforting himself and the other team members. The situation encountered in each mission world is different, but they are also the first in this kind of survival mission that does not have any danger except that the training is exhausting. encounter.
Not only will the danger that has not come for a long time not make them too happy, on the contrary, it will make them have a bad premonition that a huge conspiracy is brewing in the dark, which makes people panic.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other. Yesterday, the eliminated tester really deliberately took the initiative to leave the barracks. I wonder if the other party has touched the Homecoming Tavern, and has he gained any important information?
"We are going to participate in the duty mission starting tonight, and we should get more information by then."
The female team member who is good at magic is a young girl. Hearing the words, he connected, giving others more confidence.
The six people exchanged their income for one day. Because they were trapped in training all day, there was no more gain than the previous two days. In the end, they could only leave each other, suppress their anxiety, and look forward to receiving them and leaving the barracks tomorrow. information from teammates.
There was no liveliness to watch, and this time did not match the biological clock of the two. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian simply slipped out of the barracks, preparing to go to the Homecoming Tavern to check the situation before the start of the duty mission.
Surprisingly, the tavern street that was very lively the previous two nights was unusually desolate tonight. All the street vendors were gone, and many taverns were closed. There are not many people who drink and lively.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian opened the door of the Homecoming Tavern, and found that there were very few people inside. There were only a few dozen spirit hunting warriors in the spacious tavern, and they gathered together in twos and threes to chat in a low voice.
The two walked to the bar, ordered two special snacks, and asked the bartender what happened.
"You didn't come yesterday, didn't you? Fortunately, you didn't come. Yesterday, few teams left the city. As a result, all those who came back had a conflict. After a few words, they started fighting. They fought all the way from the tavern to the street. The moat has brought it back."
The bartender sighed, and it was not that he had never seen a fight between spirit hunting warriors, but he had never seen so many people fight together. People, in the middle of the night, dozens of people were taken away by the moat.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize felt a move in their hearts. They knew what kind of conflict they were in. Daniel dragged a group of people to accompany him to the Evil Sea without prior notice. How is it so coincidental?
"What kind of conflict are they making?"
Xia Ruize asked.
The bartender's expression was also very puzzled, and there was confusion in his voice, "Yeah, we are also strange, that is, the ordinary spirit stone distribution problem, this is not the first time we have cooperated, and few people make trouble for this again. Contradictory, I don't know what was crazy last night?"
"It seems that no one is out of town tonight."
Cheng Huaiqian looked around. From the time they came in until now, no one has stood up on the small platform in the center of the tavern to recruit team members, and the spirit hunting warriors scattered in the tavern did not seem to form a team with each other.
"Who said it wasn't, the people who came back last night said that the number of evil spirits outside the city had begun to increase, and even fewer dared to leave the city tonight, and they went out as soon as it got dark, thinking about going early. Come back early, if you are looking for teammates at this moment, it will be difficult to find."
There were few guests in the tavern tonight, and the bartender couldn't find anyone if he wanted to chat, so he didn't mind chatting with these two for a while longer.
After sitting for a while, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian left the Homecoming Tavern after finding that there was no news to collect in the tavern, and simply went to the City Lord's Mansion.
Cheng Huaiqian released the high-level evil spirit, and saw the little black ball bouncing a few times in Cheng Huaiqian's hand. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian waited patiently for about ten minutes according to the information returned by the little black ball. He changed his shift with the sergeant who was originally standing on the side of the City Lord's Mansion, and began to patrol continuously around the City Lord's Mansion.
The strange thing is that the waist cards on their waists suddenly disappeared at a certain moment, but they did not respond to it, as if they hadn't heard it, they continued to patrol around the City Lord's Mansion.
As for their waist cards, they were naturally given to Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian by Da Hei and Xiao Hei, and they were able to easily enter the City Lord's Mansion.
In the discussion hall, the city owner is discussing with a group of senior managers of Ping An City, and the content of their discussions is related to the livelihood of Ping An City.
"Lord City Lord, the weather has turned cold recently, the number of sick city residents has increased, and the reserves of doctors and medicines are somewhat insufficient. What should I do?"
"Lord City Lord, recently, the amount of fruits and vegetables supplied by surrounding villages has decreased, but the increase in foreigners has actually increased the price of grain in grain stores in the city. The city residents are complaining. Do you think we have taken any measures?"
"Lord City Lord, the foreign spirit-hunting warriors are often unrestrained, and even beat people in the street. Today, I received more than ten complaints from the city residents. Do you think it is restricting the foreign spirit-hunting warriors? ?"
…
One after another is bad news, but the city owner is not irritable, sitting there without anger, calmly ordering to continue to observe, and there are no unnecessary instructions.
The top management of Ping An City reported all the recent news but did not receive any specific instructions. While looking at each other, they were sent away by the city owner. Only the captain of the defense team was left behind.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were even more interested, and they heard the captain of the defense team start reporting:
"Lord City Lord, last night, a total of 46 teams of 389 spirit-hunting warriors left the city, and finally 42 teams and 367 spirit-hunting warriors returned safely.
In addition, there were 96 people who made trouble in the Homecoming Tavern last night, of which 65 people came back from outside the city, and the rest joined the scuffle after being affected. "
Reporting, there was doubt in the expression of the captain of the defense team, "After interrogation, they could not say the specific reason for the trouble, and the final conclusion may be that you have drunk too much?"
This conclusion is not even believed by the captain of the defense team himself. After returning to the city safely, it is what every spirit hunting warrior would do to have a few drinks at the tavern on the way home.
As expected of the official statistics, it is much more accurate than what the bartender said casually. It seems that there are a large number of spirit hunting warriors who have a fixed team and can leave the city without temporarily recruiting team members at the tavern on the way home. The number of teams seen escorting out of town is far less than the actual number.
As for making trouble at the tavern on the way home after returning to the city safely, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian knew why the bustling street was dying when they thought of nearly a hundred spirit hunting warriors huddled around the tavern.
"Since it's a drinking mistake, let them drink less in the future, lock them up for a day, and let them go."
Surprisingly, the city lord accepted the conclusion that the captain of the defense team didn't quite believe it, and ordered it lightly.
Noticing that the captain of the defense team seemed to have different opinions, the city lord suppressed the dissent and continued to order:
"Okay, during the special period, the priority is to encourage the spirit-hunting warriors to go out of the city to clean up evil spirits. The more we clean up now, the less pressure I will face on Ping An City during the full moon tribulation. If you are worried about danger, let them not cross After crossing the green warning line, you can only clear the area where low-level evil spirits are active."
The captain of the protection team received the order to leave the city lord's mansion to execute, and the city lord also returned to the inner courtyard at the rear protected by another layer of anti-spiritual shield.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian saw that there was no fun to watch, so they also left the City Lord's Mansion. After returning the access cards, the two returned to the barracks.
This time they set up their tents in the barracks, and if someone called them, it wouldn't be strange for them to walk out of the barracks.
The two didn't chat a few words in the tent. At 9:40, someone came to the barracks and knocked on the door to wake up a few people.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian naturally integrated into their team. They followed the team leader to the edge of the martial arts field and put on the anti-spirit armor. Then, they put on the spirit-shooting crossbow on their backs, hung up the real spirit-breaking arrow, and walked out in a line with the big sword in their hands. barracks.
Outside the barracks, there was already a member of the official defense team waiting for them. A total of ten people boarded the city wall and walked along the city wall to the pre-arranged rotation point.
The corporal chief warned: "This is your first time on duty tonight. It's actually very simple, as long as you don't fall asleep. Next, each of you will follow an official team member to a specific location."
This time, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had to be separated. Fortunately, the distance between each other was only 100 meters, which did not affect the communication between the two.
After standing at the specific guard position, the official team member who taught Xia Ruize signaled that Xia Ruize could sit down.
"Your most important job is to stare at both sides. If someone jumps over the city wall, just count how many people there are. There may be fewer people returning to the city now. If you see it, remember the number."
The official team members told Xia Ruize.
"Don't you need to stop them?"
Xia Ruize asked a question deliberately, and sure enough, he got a surprised look from the other side, "Why stop it? The more people who go out, the better."
The official team members who were instructed were very chatty, and maybe it was because the duty on duty was too boring. He simply chatted with Xia Ruize:
"In normal times, these spirit-hunting warriors have killed too many evil spirits, and our defense team's income will be much less, but now it is different, the full moon robbery is coming soon, I heard from the seniors that the evil spirits will be at that time. The number will be numb to the scalp, so it's a good thing that they kill a few more early.
It's just that those guys are all soft eggs. When they are a little more active, they shy away. The number of spirit-hunting warriors who have been out of the city in the past two days has not increased but decreased, which is simply irritating. It’s still our own team that is reliable, and we have been able to bring back a lot of gains every day recently. "
Xia Ruize's heart moved, and he quickly asked: "Do the members of the defense team also go out of the city to kill evil spirits every night?"
