Shameless Warlock

Chapter 275: Turning Luan and Phoenix Upside Down

In the dungeon, Xu Nan looked at that handsome face with a look of deep thought.

After a while, he gave the order:

"Wake him up and take him to my room."

"I want to interrogate myself."

Everyone suddenly showed envy.

Immediately there were guards to carry out Xu Nan's order.

Ten minutes later.

In the dark room, there was only one flickering candle. Standing in front of the candle, Xu Nan looked coldly at the so-called "scholar" who had woken up.

"Name?" Xu Nan suddenly asked.

"Dylan, my name is Dylan."

The other party said weakly:

"Your Excellency, please listen to my explanation. I am not with the dragon people. I was forced to join Langdu's army just to protect myself..."

Xu Nan thought for a while, and his tone became a little calmer:

"Then you first explain the reason for so many layers of camouflage?"

"Don't tell me it's your personal hobby."

Dillon took a breath and seemed to relax a bit. He tried to open his eyes to see Xu Nan's appearance clearly:

"you are……"

"Don't ask me who I am." Xu Nan pretended to be impatient and said fiercely: "You just need to know that I have the final say on the screaming sentry."

"Quickly answer my question!"

Dylan hurriedly said:

"Understood, my lord."

"The reason why I use so many layers of camouflage is because I have mastered a unique disguise technique, which is very powerful and can deceive most people's senses, and I am not very good at fighting, so ..."

It seemed that he was stimulated by Xu Nan's [intimidation], and Dylan said all the things Xu Nan wanted to ask, like a bamboo tube pouring beans

Dillon claimed to be from the Icesaw Valley, and his status in the Icesaw Valley was not low. He said that he was one of the advisors of the Lich Sanger.

His profession is [Lorewalker].

This is a profession that lacks combat skills, but is very good at avoiding disasters.

Dillon has a superb disguise technique, which can help him avoid most of the troubles during the journey.

This disguise technique is similar to Xu Nan's [race change].

He can make himself into various subterranean races and blend in with them.

When he was caught, the reason why he had so many layers of camouflage was because this disguise technique has a special mechanism. produce a superimposed effect.

This led to the situation that under his dragon face, there were three faces of kobold, lizard man, and gray dwarf.

Because in the previous trip, he had encountered the tribes of these three underground races. In order to protect himself, he had to transform himself into various races...

To be honest, Xu Nan is quite skeptical about this statement.

A scholar, running around for no reason, can survive until now with just one disguise technique?

This is too contemptuous of the dangers of the underground world.

He also underestimated his own IQ too much.

So he always kept a straight face.

Regarding Dillon's seemingly sincere confession, he didn't intend to believe a word of it!

"Forget it, no matter what your identity was before. There is only one identity now, and that is the prisoner of the unknown city."

"The dungeon is your best home."

Xu Nan yawned.

Dillon was a little nervous for a moment. He couldn't help but grabbed the table and said nervously:

"My lord, that's not the case."

"I know a lot."

"By the way, don't you or the lord of the unknown city want to know the real cause of this war?"

"I left Icesaw Valley, in fact, to investigate this matter..."

Xu Nan was taken aback for a moment, but said with a sneer on his face:

"Do you think we don't know anything?"

"Isn't the cause of this war the soul stealers who strayed into the underground world?"

A look of surprise appeared on Dillon's face, and he shook his head violently:

"of course not!"

"Do you know [Eternal Life Village]?"

Xu Nan narrowed her eyes, didn't say anything, but motioned for Dylan to continue.

Dillon coughed a few times and pondered:

"Actually, I left Icesaw Valley this time because I was entrusted by the great Mr. Sanger to conduct a secret investigation on the myth and legend of [Eternal Life Village]."

"The unexpected arrival of soulstealers is certainly disturbing, but it's not going to start a near-death war between black dragons and demons!"

"It was something else that drove them to attack Icesaw Valley."

He said definitely.

It's just that when he got to this point, he suddenly shut up.

Xu Nan stared at him with some dissatisfaction:

"continue."

Dillon thought for a long time before taking a deep breath and looking directly at Xu Nan:

"My lord, can you keep a secret?"

Xu Nan froze for a moment, does this mean to keep it a secret?

He happily said:

"sure."

Dillon gritted his teeth and said:

"So, I can, too."

"Most of the time, I can."

"unless……"

Then he stopped talking.

Xu Nan was stunned at first, but his second reaction was annoyed, this kid is playing with himself?

After that, he realized that Dylan was negotiating terms with himself!

He probably saw that he was attracted by his words, so he made such a bold move.

However, looking at his trembling legs, Xu Nan also knew that this lorewalker must have exhausted all his courage to try to negotiate terms with him.

"Do you think your secret is valuable?"

Xu Nan sneered:

"The intelligence channels of Anonymous City are much more developed than you imagined."

"It seems that the dungeon is indeed your best home."

He didn't give Dylan another chance to talk nonsense, but directly threw the scholar into the dungeon.

No matter how the other side begged for mercy or talked about those mysterious terms, Xu Nan remained indifferent.

Whether it is the "real cause of the war" or the legendary "Eternal Life Village", Xu Nan's curiosity has been aroused to a certain extent, but he is very clear that the initiative in the negotiation cannot be controlled by the other party!

What's more, this was not a fair negotiation in the first place.

Dillon is just Xu Nan's prisoner!

From the moment he played tricks in front of her, Xu Nan decided not to cooperate with this traveler!

Well, unless even the intelligence system of Paradise Lost can't find out the secrets that Dylan said, he will reconsider the situation between the two parties.

"It's basically impossible."

"Although there are many secrets underground, how can there be an impenetrable wall with the penetration ability of Paradise Lost?"

With this in mind, Xu Nan ordered people to guard Dyerlan strictly, then turned around and entered Paradise Lost.

ten minutes later.

He left SI7 with an embarrassed expression on his face.

The intelligence system of Paradise Lost can't find the real reason for the underground turmoil!

As for the legend of Yongsheng Village, there are only a few words.

Xu Nan asked the specific reason, and the intelligence officer told Xu Nan that the underground world is vast and sparsely populated, the distribution of Ron warlocks is rare, and there are fewer people receiving allowances; but this is not the main reason.

The main reason is that it is the territory of the ancient gods.

The ancient gods naturally have the ability to cover laws, and the intelligence ability of Paradise Lost is greatly reduced in the dark area.

Xu Nan was also a little annoyed by this.

Regarding this war, SI7 from Paradise Lost temporarily holds the same view as him, that is, because of the intrusion of the soul stealing monster army, the black dragons and demons launched a large population migration, which eventually triggered the Icesaw Valley. war.

This explanation seems reasonable, but in fact there are still loopholes after careful scrutiny.

That is, is the Soul Thief Legion really that scary?

Whether it is the great demon Inoya or the Black Dragon Clan, there are strongmen comparable to legends.

They might not be a match for Loki's zerg-inflected army of Soulstealers.

But as for being so panicked that you haven't encountered the Soulstealer, are you ready to start running?

This point, after Dillon brought it up, made Xu Nan think more and more wrong.

There are so many mysteries in the underground world that he couldn't see the relevant information in Moon Spring before.

All he knew was that there were countless fogs of war hidden around the unknown city.

A crisis may break out at any time.

He had to defend.

As for the affix [Eternal Life Village], Xu Nan found some records in the internal database.

According to legend, in the dark region, there is a quiet and peaceful village.

All races in the village are equal, and the villagers have the transcendent ability of immortality.

However, Eternal Life Village rarely accepts outsiders.

They have guarded the secret of eternal life for generations.

There is a saying.

If you can find the Immortal Village and persuade a villager to serve as a referral, you will have the opportunity to join that mysterious village and enjoy inexhaustible wealth and life.

The rest of the descriptions are all nonsense, and most of them are praises to introduce how beautiful Yongsheng Village is.

...

"Isn't this kind of story fabricated by those who want to make money and kill people?"

Xu Nan is also skeptical about the existence of Yongsheng Village.

In his opinion, the routine traces of this story are too obvious.

Since ancient times, the routines of seeking wealth, murdering one's life, and killing treasures have been the same.

First of all, use various gimmicks to spread a fictional story, in which the destination is told how beautiful, rich, and powerful it is, so as to attract some brainless guys to explore.

Then, gather these people together and wipe them all out.

This kind of cheating method can bring in money faster than simple robbery, but generally speaking, it can only be done for one sum, and it is easy to encounter stubble if the number of times is too many.

"Besides, even if Eternal Life Village really exists, what does it have to do with the cause of the war?"

"Thinking about it carefully, the gimmick of eternal life really doesn't look like a simple pursuit of wealth and death; after all, people who want to pursue eternal life are definitely not ordinary people, and if they are not careful, they will easily cause trouble..."

"The problem now is that I haven't been able to determine the real identity of this Dylan. Everything he said has question marks."

Xu Nan fell into a difficult situation.

But he didn't struggle for too long.

It is definitely impossible to give in to Dylan now.

He had to hang out in the dungeon for a few days before he knew the status of both parties.

In the past few days, he just inquired around for related news.

So he ordered that the rest of the dragon captives be ignored, and Dillon had to look after himself.

There is no need for interrogation, no food or drink, just throwing them in a dark dungeon will do.

As long as you don't let him run away, the mission will be considered successful.

The soldiers naturally obeyed to the death.

Xu Nan didn't stay at the screaming sentry for too long, and it was inconvenient for him to do many things in person.

For example, Fantsen and his group let Xiaoliang arrange it.

It is impossible for these gnolls to be put into the unknown city. At most, they are arranged as non-staff members of the unknown city, and it is almost as good as leaving them at the screaming sentry.

But now Xu Nan arranged an errand for them:

Sweep the underground space north of Unknown City, where there are several small underground race lairs.

With Fantsen's means and manpower, it is not too difficult to wipe out these lairs, but it will definitely take some effort.

Xu Nan did not impose any restrictions on them.

It's fine if these gnolls run away.

But if they really completed the task satisfactorily and sincerely served him, Xu Nan wouldn't mind taking in a few more younger brothers.

As for whether these younger brothers are twenty-five boys...

Xu Nan is very confident in her charm!

"Wait a few days until Dylan is starving, and ask him again."

"If it really doesn't work, don't blame me for using Charm. I have practiced the touch of dementia for so long, and it has not been used for a long time."

He thought so.

Strange to say.

If it had been someone else, Xu Nan would have gone directly to the [Reduced Wisdom Package], but facing Dylan, he was instinctively reluctant to use this extreme method.

Maybe, this is the sympathy between the handsome guys.

Even Xu Nan herself can't bear to be cruel to things that are too beautiful.

"It seems that I have been kinder again recently."

"This is not a good thing."

Xu Nan was very disappointed.

...

Dangling, a week passed.

During this period, the unknown city was calm.

Ever since the dragon army was completely wiped out, the vanguard army had been scattered and fled, and there was no sign of a comeback in a short period of time.

On the contrary, it was Evelyn on the surface, where war alarms came frequently.

It is said that the current Eastern Kingdom has been completely divided internally.

There are countless alliances and contracts among the heirs of several kingdoms.

The eldest prince declared war on the second prince, and the third prince also declared war on the second prince, but he also declared war on the elder prince.

The eldest prince was very low-key, he only declared the independence of his territory, and did not respond to the declaration of war by the second and third princes.

Evelyn was also very low key, she didn't declare war on anyone at all.

But she was declared war by all other heirs...

But at the same time, almost every heir sent a letter declaring that their declaration of war was just to confuse others, and they hoped to secretly form an alliance with Evelyn to resolve this sudden civil strife in the kingdom.

It took Evelyn a whole page to explain this weird relationship to Xu Nan.

Even so, Xu Nan was quite dizzy.

Fortunately, he has his own independent way of analyzing things.

Except for Evelyn, a natural ally.

The relationship between Wildfire City, Unknown City and the rest of the heirs is actually easy to judge.

Let's see which one of them is willing to pay a more substantial fee, which Xu Nan calls [City-State Friendship Maintenance Fee] in order to maintain the friendship with the unknown city.

For this reason, Xu Nan, in his capacity as the lord of Wildfire City, seriously responded to the routine alliance invitations of several heirs.

Although there is a high probability that these replies will be torn up on the spot or thrown into the brazier.

Well, it might be different for the eldest prince.

Regarding the matter of the Eastern Kingdom, Xu Nan didn't think about it for too long.

It is still winter, and the mountains are covered by heavy snow. Not to mention Evelyn who is far away in the Icewind Territory, even the southern part of the Eastern Kingdom is extremely cold. Everyone can only stay in the house and chatter, preparing for the next year's war supplies.

Although the situation is getting more and more chaotic.

But the war will take some time.

At least until spring.

And this week, Xu Nan's real focus is still the cause of the war mentioned by Dillon.

He asked Qin Lele to help him pay attention to the changes in the underground, but unfortunately the dark area is too wide, and even the God of Gaming couldn't help this time.

Xu Nan was so angry that he wanted to rush to the dungeon to hammer people several times.

But the strange thing is, for some reason, he actually held back.

This made Xu Nan think a little more about Dylan himself while being surprised that his temper had improved.

Perhaps, he is not just a traveler.

Xu Nan was also patient.

Dillon has been hungry for six days, only given a little water, and spent most of the time sleeping. It seems that this guy is really good at keeping secrets. If Xu Nan doesn't agree to his conditions, he will swear to the death situation.

That being the case, Xu Nan will play with him.

But these days are not without good news.

Whenever Xu Nan opens the superspirit vision, there will be surprises.

Like now.

He opened his eyes and saw an incomparably perfect air column.

[Ultraspirit Fear: Tier 2 Max]

It seems that the scattered gnolls and drow have spread the news of humiliating the tyrant to all parts of the Underdark.

In just one week, Xu Nan had fully collected the advanced requirements of the Apostle of Desire.

The Paradise Lost system also responded.

[It is detected that the advanced occupation - Desire Apostle upgrade has been satisfied, do you want to increase the level? 】

Xu Nan chose OK without hesitation.

[Your desire apostle level has been raised to level 2! The total level is 15! 】
