…

The Chauvin Empire, the royal capital of Trone, the residence of the guilty lord

Mo, who successfully loaded the character, did not appear in the usual darkroom. He woke up quietly in the study room on the east side of the mansion. The pair of colorless black eyes behind the mask narrowed slightly. The next moment, this room that was originally The house filled with daylight dimmed without warning. The treetops in the courtyard were swaying gently in the breeze, a wisp of dark clouds slowly drifted in the sky, and the roller blinds that some servants had carelessly left unfastened. , without exception, isolates all the brightness and warmth, turning this big house with the best lighting into a gloomy and depressing one.

Frank to the point of explicit malice...

However, the person involved did not show any objection or dissatisfaction, and even felt a little funny for no reason.

Mo was offline here yesterday. As the most popular new nobleman in Troon during this period, this sin lord is really a little too busy. This is because he has not recovered from serious injuries. Otherwise, the number of visitors who have various thoughts such as early investment, position testing, making connections, making friends with Garros, introducing their daughter, promoting themselves, etc. may increase several times.

This is not surprising, because everyone with a discerning eye can see that the future of this sin lord is definitely far beyond this. Not to mention his close relationship with the Grand Duke of Garros, even the tsar, who is the military force of the country, The Knights of the Sword all have a great impression of this young earl who has a "comradeship", and His Majesty William Bohe even came to see him twice in person after summoning the Lord of Sin once. All of this was It is enough to explain a lot of problems.

"I'm really curious."

A slim black shadow appeared silently at the window. Her voice was a little cold, but warmer than the temperature in this room: "Why do those people always come to you to talk about innocuous nonsense? "

Mo glanced at the door that was opened a small crack not far away, and did not turn back to the dark elf who would always find out that he was online at the first time. He just replied lightly: "Because they want to Get from me the attitude of ‘I don’t think that bullshit is really bullshit’, and the stance of ‘What words don’t count as bullshit’ for me.”

Ji Xiaodao gently blinked her scarlet eyes and asked: "Then why are you willing to chat with them endlessly about nonsense? Enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by stars?"

"I need to know this country better, so I don't mind wasting a little time on it." Mo moved his index finger slightly, and a black spark popped up, burning the stacks of invitations at hand into a pile of ashes: "Those' There is more information in the nonsense than a civilian or low-level official will learn in a lifetime."

Ji Xiaodao curled his lips imperceptibly and hummed: "Okay, so today's scheduled visitors are Marquis Griffin, Earl Parker, Mr. Justin, the person in charge of Troon Traveler Hotel, and Clayman Countess Ting, I hope you won't act so frivolous today. I haven't been in a jealous mood recently, and..."

"No need." Mo interrupted her softly, shook his head and said, "That's enough. Starting today, all such arrangements will be cancelled. Someone will be sent to spread the news, saying that Sin Lord's injury has worsened and he needs to rest."

Ji Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask any more questions and just shrugged: "So you already know enough about this huge empire?"

Mo didn't answer, but asked casually: "Is there any progress on Garros?"

"No, I just went there last night." Ji Xiaodao sighed and spread his hands: "He has secretly found more than a dozen alchemy masters and friends in the Magician's Guild during this period, but what they can come up with is Most of the alchemy puppets and golems are not as good as Luther's previous works, and their quality basically fluctuates between excellent and only excellent. There are only a few at the fine level, and none of them can get the epic title."

Mo nodded slightly and motioned for the other party to continue.

Ji Xiaodao was silent for a few seconds, and then said with a strange expression: "There is also the 'wreck' of the player, and the result is the same. Not to mention that no one can restore it. Those who usually work as alchemists, engineers, The big names running around in the Magician's Guild can't even do basic analysis, and the few who can give clear conclusions are just telling lies and have no reference value at all."

What she said was not entirely accurate, because even if the 'experts' who could be found by Garros could not understand Cordoba's rune body, they would not tell any outrageous lies. In other words, When they were pretending to be fat, they made up the stuff to sound quite similar. Even Garros couldn't confirm its authenticity for a while, but...

Through the previous New Year's party, Ji Xiaodao not only knew the true identity of 'that player', but also thoroughly understood his gaming career from Cordoba's first-person voice. Of course, he also understood the character of the rune. The origin of the body, so under this premise, the conclusions fabricated by those 'experts' seemed particularly nonsense in her eyes. Classmate Laoke once said that his body was completely created by Master Ruweilu using original materials. What came out would never flow outside Tianzhu Mountain, so those statements such as 'meteorite from the sky', 'extreme cold vein marrow', 'secret gold mine core', etc. were all nonsense, so she simply He directly told Mo the result he had deduced.

Of course, Ji Xiaodao didn't say anything about the fact that he and Cordoba had seen this in real life, not because of complicated reasons such as stance, but simply because he didn't want to talk about things other than the game.

What the girl didn’t know was that the guy in front of her knew more than she did. Not only did he also know Cordoba, he had killed Cordoba, he had killed Cordoba, he had killed Cordoba, he had killed Cordoba, wanted to save Cordoba but failed to do so in time, and even had a good relationship with that guy from a certain perspective. Not only did he help Cordoba complete tasks, but he also often chatted with that guy every now and then.

But Mo Ziran would not mention this matter...

"It's expected." He just said calmly, and then looked back at Ji Xiaodao: "Tell Garros to put this matter aside for a while, and secretly tell Prince Kunda's housekeeper later." Please come here without drawing anyone's attention, and let Galahad cover him if necessary."

The dark elf girl raised her eyebrows: "Prince Kunda's butler? So... you are fully prepared?"

"Of course not." Mo shook his head and leaned back on the chair again, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth: "It's just a small foreshadowing first. The fall of a certain Dharma God has a huge impact on the overall situation." In fact, it is not important, but the death of a prince..."

Ji Xiaodao narrowed his eyes: "But is it enough to become an ideal fuse?"

Mo raised his hand and knocked on his mask. After a moment of silence, he asked softly: "Did you think of it yourself?"

"No." The dark elf girl shook her head, took out a cup from her bag, and then summoned a dark flame and a clear water ball out of thin air, using wind elements and shadow lines to make them dance. He replied: "That guy told me. Judging from your reaction, she must have guessed it right."

Mo nodded slightly: "She is very smart."

Ji Xiaodao glanced at him: "You mean I'm stupid?"

Mo's face was expressionless: "Your question is indeed a bit stupid."

"Just a casual comment." Ji Xiaodao just replied casually, and then asked lightly: "By the way, why did you keep her instead of killing or letting her go."

Mo seemed to be more patient today than usual. He did not ignore the girl's increasing questions as usual, but said absently: "I don't have so much time and energy to do everything myself, so I am happy to give those who have enough Use useful tools to prepare some suitable positions and let them deal with troublesome people and things. No matter what the rules of the game are, there is a limit to what a person can do. I think you understand this. ."

"Oh, I have always understood this truth." Ji Xiaodao replied coldly. She walked slowly to the other party and looked at the face hidden under the mask with some confusion: "What's more surprising is that you actually I understand, but maybe I can consider relaying the term 'tool' to her, which is very appropriate in your eyes."

"It doesn't matter, she already knows her position very well and won't care about what I say." Mo completely ignored the faint dissatisfaction and threats in the other party's words and said very calmly: "Her ability is necessary for me. And it is worth noting that this is all the reason why she is willing to use me. Of course, if one day that person feels that I am no longer qualified to control her, then he will naturally spare no effort when trying to kill me."

Ji Xiaodao casually sprinkled a pinch of light gray powder into the cup and asked leisurely: "Then will she wait until such a day?"

"Won't."

Mo shook his head and replied calmly: "And she doesn't want to see a day when that person wants to control nothing but herself."

A wisp of light smoke spreads in the room along with the mellow aroma...

"Really, then you are really conceited."

Ji Xiaodao dispersed the firelight in front of her and placed the cup that had just fallen in her hand in front of Mo. An imperceptible blush appeared on her face: "Here you go."

Mo casually picked up the cup and took a sip, then looked back at the former, "What is this?"

"A gift from Diggory." The girl turned away and whispered, "I remember you mentioned that you like drinking coffee when you were chatting nonsense with them before. Maybe he secretly remembered it."

"I see……"

Mo nodded noncommittally, put the cup back to its place, and asked casually: "Do you still remember what I asked that person to do before?"

"Uh... remember, I seem to be helping some lord of the Violet Empire."

There was a hint of disappointment in Ji Xiaodao's eyes that were focused on the door, but she quickly turned her head to look at him again: "I've always been curious about how you know what's going on over there. Are you planning to explain now?" explain the reason?"

"I said, I need suitable tools to help me deal with some troublesome people or things." Mo nodded and slowly closed his eyes: "Letting her go to Violet is a test, because there happens to be some trouble there right now. Although it has nothing to do with me, it’s just right to test that guy’s ability, but..."

Ji Xiaodao tilted his head: "But what?"

"But something interesting happened. If things continue like this, it might be too late by the time she gets there, so I'm going to help her." Mo lazily held his cheek and smiled rarely. : "I'll tell you later. Now go tell Garros the arrangement I mentioned before and ask him to act as soon as possible."

The dark elf girl nodded, turned and walked towards the door...

"correct."

Before leaving the room, she paused, hesitated for a moment and then asked in a low voice: "Am I also a useful tool?"

No answer came from behind.

The girl stood there for a few seconds, then shook her head and quickly disappeared into a shadow.

…

ten minutes later

Violet Empire, Dantes Territory, Eagle Oak Harbor

"Do you want to go to Salamoon with us? No problem, I'll give you a lift for ten silver coins."

A fat lizard man businessman smiled heartily and rubbed his hands at the human woman in front of him, who was about thirty to fifty years old: "It's cold now, and there aren't many caravans coming and going from here. , let’s understand each other, and don’t think it’s too expensive for you.”

The old-looking human woman looked a little bitter: "For ten silver coins... it's not much cheaper than flying on an airship."

"Hey, don't say that. If you don't believe me, let's settle the score." The lizardman merchant smacked his lips, shook his head and said seriously: "The nearest airship ride point to us is in the Black Gold City in the north. From here It's a long way to get there, and only goblin airships are cheaper there. The dwarf airship costs at least two gold coins to get to Salamoon, which is twenty times more expensive than us. The thing is cheap, fifty silver coins per trip, but do you dare to sit on it? The crash rate is 70%! You have such a small arm... thick arms and thick legs, but you can tell at a glance that you have no foundation, and it will turn gray immediately. Let me tell you...and...eh? Where are the people? Scared away!?"

He raised his head sharply, only to find that there was still half a figure in front of him.

…

at the same time

Mo closed the friend bar and message bar in his field of vision. He had just contacted that person and had already finished everything he needed to explain.

Then……

He reached out and gently brushed the cup of coffee that had gone cold and he had only taken a sip.

Black firelight flashed, and the mellow aroma filled the air again.

"Digory didn't send this."

Mo shook his head and reached out to pick up the cup in front of him...

"In my impression, it has indeed been a long time since I drank."
