As a subordinate, he naturally has to do his best to complete the things ordered by the city lord, and there must be no mistakes.
After his subordinates left, Zhao Kuo frowned and fell into deep thought.
It was quiet in the office.
Not long after, Zhao Kuo's phone suddenly rang.
"Ding ding ding!..."
A series of sounds came, causing Zhao Kuo, who was thinking about the problem, to come back to his senses in an instant.
Looking at the caller ID, Zhao Kuo's face straightened instantly and he answered the call without any hesitation.
"City Lord Zhao, I have one thing to trouble you. Today, a student from Suzaku Academy came to Shengyao City, his name is Ye Ling. I hope you can pay more attention to him.
He is a person valued by our federal government, and he is also a student of Suzaku Academy who attracts much attention. This time he went to Shengyao City and was hunted down by many people.
I hope you can help him within a reasonable range."
A mature and steady voice came from the phone, and Zhao Kuo was stunned for a while.
Good guy!
Just a student is valued by the federal government. What has this Ye Ling done?
But now, there is no time for him to think about these issues.
He must reply to the other party immediately.
"Please rest assured that since he is a person valued by the federal government, I will definitely do my best to help him."
When Zhao Kuo said this, he seemed very respectful, not at all like he had spoken loudly in front of his subordinates before.
Because he knows who the person he is talking to is, what his identity is, and what his strength is.
"Okay, if you're interested, let's do it."
"Dudududu!"
After this sentence came from the other side of the phone, there was a busy tone immediately afterwards.
Seeing the phone that had been hung up in his hand, Zhao Kuo fell into deep thought.
"Ye Ling...Ye Ling...I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
Zhao Kuo always felt that this name was familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Zhao Kuo, who really couldn't figure it out, could only let it go.
After a while, there was another knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Come in."
"Click!"
It turned out to be a subordinate who had left before, and now he suddenly came back. He must have investigated the relevant matters.
"How is things going? Have the identities of those people been found out? Especially the stranger who was the first to leave the North Gate."
After hearing the city lord's question, the subordinates who went to handle the matter immediately found the information they had investigated.
"Lord City Lord, I have found out all the information about those people. The first stranger to leave the North Gate is named Ye Ling.
He just arrived in our Shengyao City today. After leaving the airship, he immediately went to the North Gate and then left.
When he left, several people from our city suddenly left with him, but it is unclear what the purpose was."
Hearing this, Zhao Kuo nodded silently, his brain working rapidly, thinking about this series of questions.
"By the way, what about the crowd of people at the back? What's going on?"
The subordinate responded quickly.
"Sir City Lord, the large number of people behind are all from various cities in the Federation. I don't know why they all gathered in our Shengyao City today.
Moreover, after they arrived at Shengyao City, they inquired about information in the city, and the person they inquired about was Ye Ling from before.
After getting the news, they also went to the North Gate and left the city."
Everything, everything, is now suddenly connected.
When Ye Ling arrived at Shengyao City before, he was probably targeted by those in the factory, and then followed, and then left the north gate.
Those who arrived later were probably coming with bad intentions. If nothing else, they probably came for Ye Ling.
The previous phone call to Zhao Kuo also proved these problems.
The subordinate looked through the information in his hand and seemed to have missed something, so he continued to add.
"Lord City Lord, this Ye Ling is a student of Suzaku Academy. He has a spiritual pet in his hand, which is the divine bird Phoenix."
When he heard the words "Divine Bird Phoenix", Zhao Kuo finally remembered where he had heard this name.
I had heard before that there was a student in the Holy City who successfully contracted with the divine bird Phoenix, and his name was Ye Ling.
"It turned out to be him."
Only now did Zhao Kuo realize that Ye Ling was the person he knew.
Suddenly such a large group of people came, and everyone's target was Ye Ling. I'm afraid these people came with bad intentions.
The most likely possibility is that these people want to target Ye Ling, or even find an opportunity to get rid of him.
It is normal for such an outstanding genius to be jealous of many people because he can even contract with the divine bird Phoenix.
Zhao Kuo has seen too many people who pay to kill people.
"Hmph! As long as you are on my territory, if you want to kill people, you have to ask me for permission."
Weiwei snorted coldly, and Zhao Kuo said with some disdain.
Of course, what he refers to here as my territory only refers to the territory within Shengyao City. He will not be able to control it outside the city.
He could help Ye Ling while he was in the city, or even arrange for someone to protect him.
But it was impossible for him to arrange a large group of his people to protect Ye Ling outside the city.
This is irresponsible for the lives of his subordinates. He cannot do such a thing.
But just now the boss called me and ordered me to take care of Ye Ling. Even if the other party left the city, I couldn't say anything.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Kuo finally made a decision.
"Go tell Ah Qi and ask her to help pick up Ye Ling. Since he left the North Gate and headed north, if nothing else, he should be heading to Thorn Ridge.
You ask Ah Qi to wait outside the Thorny Ridge and protect Ye Ling when he comes out."
"Yes! Lord City Lord."
Then, Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said...
"Okay, nothing happens. You can go down first."
"yes!"
The subordinate left in a hurry again.
Zhao Kuo was the only one left in the office again, so he heard him muttering to himself.
"Ye Ling, the divine bird Phoenix, is really unbelievable. You can contract with the divine bird Phoenix at a young age. Your future is unlimited. No wonder you can get the attention of the federal government."
The subordinates who left Zhao Kuo's office immediately went to find the Ah Qi that Zhao Kuo had just mentioned.
In a small garden of the city lord's mansion, the subordinates finally found the so-called Ah Qi.
Wearing a black outfit and a mask on her face, it was impossible to see her face or what she looked like.
At this moment, Ah Qi was standing next to a flower, quietly looking at the flower.
The whole person was motionless, as if he had entered a state of stillness.
This is Ah Qi, who can be said to be Zhao Kuo's right-hand man.
"Lord Ah Qi, the Lord of the City has ordered you to go to Thorn Ridge now to protect a man named Ye Ling. This is his relevant information."
With that said, the subordinate handed over the information in his hand.
Hearing the sound, Ah Qi finally heard some movement.
He slowly stood up, turned to look at his subordinates, and stretched out his hand.
Even her hands were wearing black gloves.
Although he didn't say anything, his subordinates knew that Ah Qi was asking him for information.
Ah Qi usually doesn't talk much, or even barely speaks, but she is very serious about her work.
And it works cleanly and neatly, with almost no problems.
It is precisely because of this that Ah Qi is deeply trusted by the city lord Zhao Kuo.
"This is information about Ye Ling. I'll leave the task to you. I'll leave first."
After handing over the information in his hand to Ah Qi, his subordinate gave instructions and left directly.
There is no need for him to stay here any longer. Let Ah Qi handle the matter. There is no problem at all.
A pair of eyes under the mask carefully looked at the information in his hands. Ah Qi looked at it very seriously, not missing a single thing.
After reading the information, a flame emerged from Ah Qi's hand, instantly burning the information in his hand to ashes.
After doing all this, Ah Qi turned around and left here. Now he was going to do what the Lord of the City ordered.
…
At the same time, Ye Ling took his three spiritual pets and gradually entered the depths of the outer perimeter, and was about to enter inside.
If you go further inside, you will encounter more powerful and dangerous monsters.
In the middle range, there are some very powerful monsters, and if one is not careful, there may even be big trouble.
Although Ye Ling is the best person in his grade, it does not mean that he can challenge powerful monsters across many levels. This is simply unrealistic.
If it were only a fourth-level monster, Ye Ling could still handle it without any big problems.
If it were a fifth-level monster, Ye Ling could resist one or two. If he didn't use some special abilities, he would almost certainly not be able to win.
If it were a sixth-level or even seventh-level monster, Ye Ling would probably have no choice but to run away because there was no way to fight it.
Fortunately, the more powerful the monsters, the smaller the number.
After leaving the periphery, wherever you look, the number of monsters you can see is getting smaller and smaller.
The next step is the real big job. To find the kind of spiritual pet you want, you must search for the corresponding monster within this range.
Only after killing it can the corresponding spiritual pet egg be dropped.
The monster Ye Ling is looking for this time is called the Flower of Thorns, which is a plant-type monster.
Ye Ling had learned about the corresponding evolutionary direction and some of the abilities of the Flower of Thorns. Ye Ling took a fancy to the control ability of the Flower of Thorns itself, plus its own toxins.
At the same time, in the later stages of the growth of the Flower of Thorns, it can obtain a skill similar to a stronghold, which is equivalent to a field buff.
Not only can it weaken the opponent, but it can also strengthen one's own side.
Of course, one problem is that the growth power of the Flower of Thorns is only ordinary, and it cannot complete evolution.
Even until now, no one in the Federation has found the path to its evolution.
But Ye Ling is different, he can see the evolutionary direction of spiritual pets.
He knows even the unknown directions of evolution.
