Chapter 65: To be flamboyant or to be flamboyant, that is the question
() "Whether the dark creatures have mastered this secret method that can forcibly increase the level, I will find a way to find out. You little guys, don't think too much."
Seeing that the scene was a bit dull, the bald dean couldn't help but waved his hand impatiently. It could be seen that he was not in a good mood now. Didn't you see that his originally shiny bald head had become much duller?
Shen Yun nodded.
Indeed, with the current strength of myself, Yu Qianqian and others, it would be a joke to participate in such a major event that can affect the situation of the entire continent. With this spare time, it is better to find ways to improve one's abilities.
"That's it for now, let's talk about the origin of this shadow demon..." After coughing twice, the bald dean used his eyes to signal Ulan to speak, but Ulanzuo casually tilted his head, But he happened to avoid the sight of the bald dean.
"..."
"Ahem, then... let me explain it." Seeing that old man Wulan was not cooperating, the bald dean had no choice but to speak hesitantly.
"That's right, regarding this shadow demon... uh... his origin... um... you have to know that this is a very complicated issue..."
"Not found out?!"
Ignoring the bald dean's incoherent nonsense, Shen Yun pointed out the core of the problem with a positive tone.
"Well, it's not impossible for you to understand it this way..." Seeing Shen Yun and Yu Qianqian glaring over with some annoyance, the bald dean waved his hands in a panic and added: "There is nothing we can do. We can unite the royal family to deal with the entire Di Du's defense system has been investigated, but no problems have been found, well... However, this just illustrates something."
In addition to the guards responsible for guarding the city and the palace, Di Du's defense system also includes various large and small magic arrays engraved on the city walls, including an exorcism array that can detect and repel dark creatures. According to the investigation by the bald dean, there are no problems with the operation of the di du magic circle, so the problem may lie in other aspects.
"When there is no war, the di du defensive array will not be opened during the day. But after the city gate is closed at night, several basic arrays, including the exorcism array, will start to operate." Knowing Shen Yun's right. I don’t know much about di du’s situation, Yu Qianqian explained from the side.
"What about during the day?"
"When the city gate is opened during the day, the soldiers guarding the city will use magic props engraved with miniature exorcism arrays to detect people passing through. If it is true, as the dean said, that there is nothing abnormal about Di Du's magic array, then..."
"Then, there may be something wrong with the city defense troops guarding the city." Vice President Wu Lan took over the words, his furrowed brows unable to hide his concern.
"Have you checked?"
Facing Shen Yun's question, the bald dean nodded with a wry smile: "Check, why not check! The problem is that all the guards said there have been no abnormalities recently. And we don't know how long the Shadow Demon has been in di du, so there is no way There is no way to lock the range."
Without knowing the approximate date when the Shadow Demon sneaked into Di Du, it is impossible to narrow down the scope of the suspect. There are two gates in Blue Water City, and the city guarding squadron changes every month. If we can't get more accurate information, the impact will be There may even be tens of thousands of soldiers arriving. It’s hard to find out...
"Furthermore, it's also a question of whether the soldiers are derelict in their duties due to greed for money, or whether there are Blue Water executives behind the scenes. If it's the former, it's better, but if it's the latter..." Halfway through, the bald dean paused and didn't say anything.
Go down. Before there is definite information or evidence, it is better not to say anything more about the high-level officials of the empire, especially when there is an imperial princess present in front of you.
Yu Qianqian didn't care about this. She shrugged nonchalantly and said calmly: "After being informed by the dean, my father also thought of this possibility, so he has secretly ordered a secret investigation. But so far, what we have learned
After all, there is too little information, and this is just one of the possibilities. There are other possibilities, such as the other party having props that can conceal their aura and evade the detection of the exorcism array. Therefore, the royal family cannot focus on the high-level people.
I know those are sensitive guys, and it will be difficult for the royal family to do this if it causes panic."
"I understand." The bald dean nodded understandingly and said: "Actually, we probably won't be able to find out how this shadow demon came in. The most important thing now is to strengthen defense to ensure that similar things will not happen in the future.
.In addition, we must pay attention to whether there are any dark creatures in the city. We must know that we did not find anything valuable on this shadow demon. If he really has items that can avoid the exorcism circle, it is very likely.
It means that he still has companions in the city."
Shen Yun didn't understand things like city defense and searching people, so he just listened honestly. Anyway, he also understood that the bald dean called him here today just because he was one of the parties involved in the incident, and it was logically necessary to
Just let me know the progress.
After watching the three people discuss quietly for a while, Shen Yun saw that everything that could produce results had basically come to an end, and the rest could only resign himself to fate, so he and Yu Qianqian prepared to say goodbye to the bald dean.
Just as he stood up, Shen Yun suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but turn around and ask the bald dean: "By the way, does that girl's family... know about it?"
"I got it." The bald dean's expression darkened, and he sighed regretfully: "But I didn't tell them the truth. I just said that a fallen warrior sneaked into the academy to seek revenge and was accidentally killed. The girl's father was also a middle-level member of the empire.
Officials, it seems that Yu Qianjun has personally comforted him."
"Is that so..."
The news that dark creatures had infiltrated Di Du was of great importance. One less person knew about it before the matter was found out. Shen Yun couldn't understand it. But when he thought about being a parent, he couldn't even know the real cause of his daughter's death.
, Chen Yun couldn't help but feel a burst of bitterness and irony.
Qianqian's father personally comforted him? Haha, maybe this girl's father will be promoted in a while...?
"Wait a minute." When the bald dean saw Shen Yun lazily turning around and walking away, he couldn't help but remind him: "We are not yet sure whether there are any partners of the Shadow Demon in the city, so you should be careful during this period!"
"Got it~"
She waved her hand without looking back, and Shen Yun's lazily voice, somewhat distracted, came from outside the door. Yu Qianqian saluted the bald dean and Wu Lan respectively, and hurriedly trotted after them.
Watching the two people gradually disappearing at the door, Ulan turned to the bald dean who was pondering something on the side and said: "When Yitzhak comes back in two days, all the academies participating in the jihad will conduct running-in training. If it's still like this
If we let them go to the Desolate Forest like in previous years, I'm worried..."
"It shouldn't matter." The bald dean frowned and thought for a moment: "From this point of view, the other party's target is not actually Shen Yun, but has other plans that we don't know about. In addition, this time this dog Now that the Shadow Demon has disappeared, I don't think they will waste any more manpower attacking these children. Of course, just to be on the safe side, you can follow them when the time comes."
"Well, that's feasible..." Wulan stroked his beard and nodded, then said in a daze: "No, why am I following you to protect you? Why don't you go when you have so much time? I still have a lot of things waiting to be done here. Woolen cloth!"
The bald dean spread his hands and said, "I really want to go but I can't help it." He said, "No, there was news from the Edge some time ago that the monsters in the Evernight Swamp have mutated. I Because this kid's matter has been delayed for many days, and he is expected to leave in the next two days, otherwise it would be your turn to do such an easy job, hey...I am born to be hardworking..."
Seeing the bald head in front of him pretending to sigh, he almost wiped away two tears. Wulan's cheeks couldn't help but twitch, and even his beard trembled, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just sighed solemnly and said: " In fact, I have always wanted to ask, is 'Edge' credible? After all, she is..."
"Without her, there would be no Six Walkers. She is just a miserable person who has lost her own path and is wandering on the edge of body and mind. I believe in her!"
"Okay." Seeing what the bald dean said, Wu Lan stopped talking and agreed: "Then when those little guys set off, I will follow them and have a look. To be honest, old man, I am really curious about that kid. To what extent can it be achieved?”
"Hey, I'm curious too." He was also curious, and when he said it, the bald dean made people feel sincerely vulgar.
"Now I have some confidence in that old cow's words. Maybe I can actually do some earth-shattering things in my life."
"Even if there is an earth-shattering event, you are not the protagonist! Speaking of Lord Prophet, should we send someone to inform him? After all, that little girl will not go back in the short term."
"Tell me, isn't he a prophet? Prophets can predict, so let him figure it out slowly~ Hahahaha!"
"..."
…
"yawn!"
In the Orc Temple of Babahari Plains, Prophet Gunn, who was presiding over the coming-of-age ceremony for the second son of the Beast King, sneezed violently, and then waved his hands in front of the concerned eyes of everyone around him, indicating that he was fine. But he felt guilty in his heart. He started muttering:
"This uncomfortable feeling... Hey, it must be that barbaric bald mage who is speaking ill of me behind my back again..."
…
After leaving Wulan's small courtyard, Yu Qianqian caught up with Shen Yun, who was in a bad mood, and asked slightly worriedly: "Ayun, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just feel a little tired suddenly." Shen Yun smiled bitterly. He was actually sad because the girl's parents could not know the true cause of death of their daughter. It seems that he has been too busy recently.
"Oh..." Seeing Chen Yun's denial, Yu Qianqian obediently did not continue to ask further questions, and just said: "Then where are you going to go next?"
"I'm going to Shengyu Trading Company. I want to get a scabbard for my sword." Shen Yun replied after looking at the sky.
Giving the Infinity Blade a scabbard to carry on his back is something Shen Yun had considered two days ago. There are two reasons for this decision. The first is that it is too conspicuous every time he takes the sword from the Infinity backpack, so it is better to put the Infinity Blade in a scabbard. If you put the blade on the open side and use it, you might be able to use it as a surprise weapon when you use the infinite backpack in the future.
Secondly...don't you think that the Infinity Blade, which is as big as a door panel, is carried on the back with a simple scabbard, and combined with Shen Yun's now half-long flowing black hair, is a very stylish look?
What? You said this is not a trendy thing, but a sao bag? Go, go, go, you kid who has no aesthetic taste, go and ask your bald uncle to take you to play~
