< br>……
The Chauvin Empire, the capital of Troon, the residence of the Sin 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.
It was frank and malicious...
But the person involved did not show any objection or dissatisfaction, and it even felt a bit funny for no reason.
This is where Mo went offline yesterday. As the most popular new nobleman in Troon during this time, this sin lord is really a little too busy. This is still in his' Under the premise that the serious injury has not healed, otherwise the number of visitors with various thoughts such as early investment, position testing, making connections, making friends with Garros, introducing their daughters, 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 Grand Duke Garros, even The Knights of the Sword of the Tsar, who are the military force of the country, have a great impression of this young earl who has a "comradeship". His Majesty William Boho even came to see him twice in person after summoning the sinner once. , all of this 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: "Those people Why do I always come to you to talk nonsense?"
Mo glanced at the door that was opened a small crack not far away, and did not turn back to the general meeting. The dark elf who found out that he was online for the first time just replied calmly: "Because they want to get from me the attitude of 'not thinking that nonsense is really nonsense', and for me, 'what words are not nonsense' "
Ji Xiaodao gently blinked her scarlet eyes and asked: "Then why are you willing to chat with them endlessly and enjoy that kind of nonsense? "How does it feel to hold the moon?"
"I need to know more about this country, so I don't mind wasting a little time on it." Mo moved his index finger slightly and flicked out a wisp of black sparks. The folded invitations were burned into a pile of ashes: "The information contained in those 'nonsense' is more 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, shaking his head and saying: "That's enough. Starting today, all such arrangements will be cancelled. Send someone to spread the news, saying that Zui Jue's injury has worsened and needs to rest."
Ji Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, but there was no Asked more, just shrugged: "So you already know enough about this huge empire?"
Mo didn't answer, just 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 time, but they Most of the alchemy puppets and golems that can be produced 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 sophisticated level, and none of them can get an epic."
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 that player, and the result is the same. Nothing is found. Not to mention that no one can restore it. Those who usually The big names running around in the alchemists, engineers, and magicians' unions can't even do basic analysis, and the few who can give clear conclusions are just talking about it. It’s just nonsense and has no reference value at all.”
What she said is not entirely accurate, because even those ‘experts’ who can be found by Garros cannot understand the rune body of Cordoba. It’s not like they were making up some outrageous nonsense. In other words, when they were trying to make themselves look fat, the stuff they made up still sounded quite similar, even 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 even learned from Cordo Through Wa's first-person play, he thoroughly understood his gaming career, and of course also understood the origin of the rune body. Therefore, under this premise, the results fabricated by those 'experts' The theory seemed particularly nonsense in her eyes. Classmate Laoke had said that his body was completely created by Master Luweilu using original materials, and there was no way it could be leaked outside Tianzhu Mountain. Therefore, those statements such as 'meteor from the sky', 'cold veins of extreme marrow', and 'secret gold mine core' were all nonsense, so she simply told Mo the results she had deduced.
Of course, Ji Xiaodao did not say anything about the fact that he and Cordoba had seen this in real life. It was not because of complicated reasons such as stance, but simply because he did not want to talk about things other than the game. That’s all.
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 kind of thing...
"It's expected." He just said calmly, then looked back at Ji Xiaodao: "Tell Garros to put this matter aside for a while and secretly 'invite' Prince Kunda's butler here later without attracting anyone's attention. If necessary, Galahad can give him a beating. Cover."
The dark elf girl raised her eyebrows: "Prince Kunda's housekeeper? So... you are fully prepared?"
"Of course not." , 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 is actually insignificant in the overall situation, but the death of a prince Die..."
Ji Xiaodao narrowed his eyes: "But is it enough to become an ideal fuse?"
Mo raised his hand and knocked on his mask, and after a moment of silence he asked softly: "You think about it yourself "Come out?"
"No." The dark elf girl shook her head, took out a cup from her bag, and then summoned a dark flame out of thin air. and a clear water ball. While 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."
< br>Mo nodded slightly: "She is very smart."
Ji Xiaodao glanced at him: "You mean I am stupid?"
Mo's face was expressionless: "Your question is indeed a bit stupid."
"Just saying it casually." Ji Xiaodao just replied casually, and then asked lightly: "By the way, why did you keep her? , instead of choosing to kill or let 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 We don’t have that much time and energy to do everything by ourselves, so we are happy to prepare some suitable positions for those tools that are good enough to use and let them deal with troublesome people and things. No matter what the rules of the game are, a person After all, there is a limit to what people can do. I thought you understood this. "
"Oh, I have always understood this." Ji Xiaodao replied coldly, and she walked slowly. Next to the other party, he looked at the face hidden under the mask with some confusion: "What's surprising is that you actually understand it, but maybe I can consider passing on the 'tool', which is an extremely appropriate description in your eyes, to her." "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. "
< br>
Ji Xiaodao casually sprinkled a pinch of light gray powder into the cup and asked leisurely: "Then will she wait until such a day?"
"No."
Mo Shaking her head, she replied calmly: "And she doesn't want to have any Then one day, that person wants to control nothing but himself."
A wisp of 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 into her hand in front of Mo. An imperceptible blush appeared on her face: "Here you go."
Mo picked up the cup and took a shallow 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 to drink coffee when you were chatting nonsense with them before. Maybe he secretly remembered it."
"I see..."
Mo nodded noncommittally. , put the cup back in its place, and asked casually: "Do you remember what I asked that person to do before?"
"Uh... remember, I seem to be helping some lord of the Violet Empire."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Ji Xiaodao's eyes, which were focused on the door, but she quickly turned around again. He turned his head and looked at the other person: "I've always been curious about how you know what's going on over there. Are you going to explain the reason now? "
"I said, I need suitable tools to help me deal with some troublesome people or things." Mo nodded and slowly closed his eyes: "Let me. It was a test for her to go to Violet, because there happened to be some trouble there right now. Although it has nothing to do with me, it is just right to test that guy’s ability, but..."
Ji Xiaodao tilted his head: "But what?"
"But... Something interesting happened. If this continues, maybe By the time she gets there, it will be too late, so I am going to help her." Mo held his cheek lazily and smiled rarely: "I'll tell you later, now go and do what I said before. Tell Garros about the arrangements and ask him to act as soon as possible."
The dark elf girl nodded, turned and walked towards the door...
"That's right."
Before leaving the room, she paused, hesitated for a moment and then spoke with a low The voice asked: "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, Dantis Territory, Eagle Oak Harbor
"Want to go to Salamoon with us? No problem, Ten silver coins will give you a lift.”
A fat man. The fat lizard man merchant smiled heartily and rubbed his hands with 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 from here. Everyone." Understand each other and don’t be too expensive.”
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. Ang. "Lizard Man." The businessman smacked his lips, shook his head and said seriously: "The closest airship ride point to us is in Black Gold City in the north. It's a long way to go from here to there, and only goblin airships can be found there. It's cheaper. The dwarf airship costs at least two gold coins to reach Salamoon, which is twenty times more expensive than ours. The goblin thing is cheaper, fifty silver coins per trip, but do you dare to take it? The crash rate is so small! ...Thick arms and thick legs, but you can tell at a glance that they have no foundation. I tell you...and...Huh? Where is the person?"
He suddenly ran away! When he looked up, 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.
The black firelight flashed, and the mellow aroma filled the air again.
"Digory never sent 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."
