Chapter 2417 It’s okay to take a guess
The mayor is very angry with the person who polluted the energy stone of the town’s protection barrier node, and he wishes he could find him immediately. Rectify the law on the spot!
However, this matter is not so easy.
Now that a suspicious aboriginal can be found, the mayor is naturally very happy. He can’t wait to lead the aboriginal guards to catch this capable person and then torture him. , and handed it over to Ji Xiaoyan after the case was finalized. Fortunately, in front of Ji Xiaoyan, his crime of dereliction of duty could be alleviated by one or two. It was also considered as repayment for Ji Xiaoyan's help in going to the Resurrection Gate and begging someone to heal Mo Ya, wasn't it?
However, Ji Xiaoyan still had no intention of being happy or relieved that the suspect had been found.
"This person has left. I don't know if the name is his real name. Where has he gone now? It will not be easy to find this person on the mainland!" Ji Xiaoyan sighed and couldn't bear it. Zhu said to the mayor, as if pouring cold water on him, "I Now, we can only find a clue and identify such a suspect!"
Hearing this, the mayor was stunned, opened his mouth, and couldn't help but shout at him! He read the name written on the piece of paper again and again, then turned to Ji Xiaoyan with a white face and asked Said: "Then City Lord, is this the case?"
"This is all we can do for the time being!" Ji Xiaoyan sighed and nodded, looked at the mayor and said: "Let the guards first Go to the town and ask other aborigines about what this person looks like. Write down the situation in detail, and then distribute it to all the aboriginal people in the Qingcheng Alliance."
The mayor looked at the name in his hand with some depression. In the end, he could only nod his head and immediately arranged for the aboriginal guards to take care of it.
Ji Xiaoyan knew very well that the matter of finding someone should not be rushed.
After all, when they sneaked into this town, they had already made up their mind to contaminate the energy stone of the town's protective barrier node. They were also well prepared and spent a lot of time in this town to complete it. For such a long time, that person has been hiding in the town without showing any signs of being discovered by others. This is a great skill!
So, it must be extremely easy to hide again after that person leaves! It’s not easy for them to find!
The aboriginal guards in the town worked very quickly. It didn't take much time to find all the people in the town who had an impression of the suspected aboriginal, and then got the person from them. After writing down all the facial features of the suspected aboriginal in detail, he went to find a painter and made a portrait of the suspected aboriginal according to what the aboriginals said, and then handed it over again. In front of Ji Xiaoyan and the mayor.
Of course, the portraits of the aboriginal people cannot be like the screenshots taken by players when playing games. The portraits are composed of simple lines, but they strangely portray a person's appearance, features and charm. After coming out, Ji Xiaoyan had some impression of the appearance of this suspicious aborigine after seeing the portrait.
"Have someone make more copies of this portrait and distribute it to every town!" Ji Xiaoyan thought for a while and said to the mayor.
"Okay!" The mayor nodded immediately, and after arranging for people to do it, he looked at Ji Xiaoyan doubtfully and asked: "Lord City Lord, I think people will definitely not appear in our town in Qingcheng. Right? "
The mayor thinks that if he does this once to pollute the town's protective barrier node energy stone, he will definitely be wary of being discovered, so, I will definitely hide quietly in a short period of time, and then come out again after the wind has passed! Isn’t this the case with people who do bad things in general?
However, Ji Xiaoyan didn’t think so!
"The mayor thinks that this is a deliberate attempt to pollute the town's protective barrier node energy stone. What kind of intentions do you have?" Ji Xiaoyan stared at the mayor seriously. The tone was a bit strange after all.
The mayor was stunned, looked at Ji Xiaoyan with a confused face and asked: "Mr. City Lord, what do you mean by this? That person was instigated by someone to come to our town specifically. Did you hide it for so long just to pollute the energy stone that protects our town?”
"Isn't it?" Ji Xiaoyan asked back.
This matter is very clear! Since that person can squat in this town with peace of mind for so many days, he is waiting to contaminate the energy stone of the town's protection barrier node, and then dissipate and leave. In the end, the aborigines from the dark camp will attack this town. When we were in the town, we controlled the town's protective barrier. Isn't it clear what the plan was?
So, Ji Xiaoyan guessed that there is at least a 50% chance that this person did this at the instigation of someone from the dark camp. It is even more likely that that person was a mage from the dark camp. .
“Lord City Lord.” When the Lord Mayor heard Ji Xiaoyan’s words, he didn’t quite believe it.
"The mayor doesn't believe this is the case? But do you have any other ideas?" Ji Xiaoyan looked at the mayor strangely, not understanding that this was all obvious. , why the mayor in front of me doesn’t quite believe it! That person polluted the energy stone of the town's protection barrier node, wasn't it just to destroy the protection barrier when the natives of the dark camp attacked the town?
She, Ji Xiaoyan, was killed once by someone from the dark camp. Isn't this irrefutable proof?
"No. Lord City Lord, I just heard about some things before!" The mayor saw Ji Xiaoyan's suspicious eyes, immediately waved his hand, and said to her quickly.
"Have you heard something? What happened?" Ji Xiaoyan tilted his head and asked the mayor with a confused look on his face.
"Does the Lord of the City know about the mercenary group and the Adventurer's Guild?" The mayor looked at Ji Xiaoyan seriously and suddenly asked her.
Ji Xiaoyan suddenly heard these two words, but after recalling them for a while, he nodded.
She does know these two words! What's more, she was also involved in it!
For now, Ji Xiaoyan can easily find aboriginal organizations such as the Adventurer's Guild or the Assassin's Guild. After all, she had seen them all in Lord Besa's River Water City.
"Since you know this, Lord City Lord, do you know that there are some magic alliances and assassins' guilds in our continent?" An organization like that?" The mayor stared at Ji Xiaoyan and looked at her in shock for a moment. Nodding, he continued: "Actually, the names of these guilds have no meaning to us. They are just some organizations specially created by various professions. In the end, it is convenient to manage them. Just some matters related to the same profession." Ji Xiaoyan nodded, roughly understanding this. But, what does the mayor in front of me mean by saying this?
"Every professional organization actually has an assessment every year!" The mayor seemed to have thought of something, and said to Ji Xiaoyan seriously: "Do you know, Lord City Lord, that in every Within a professional guild, various tasks are used to determine some rankings every year, which are used for the allocation of resources within the guild in the second year? ”
Ji Xiaoyan didn't know this! So, she could only shake her head silently.
The mayor seemed relieved and continued to Ji Xiaoyan: "I have heard it mentioned by the aborigines passing by our town before. No matter which guild it is in, every year The tasks used for assessment will be updated and are different. "
"So you suspect that contaminating the town's protective barrier node energy stone is actually just a mission? It's not what we imagined?" Ji Xiaoyan frowned when he heard this. He looked at the mayor tightly and asked.
"I think there is a possibility of one or two points!" The mayor nodded. He didn't know what he was thinking, but it was because of the energy stone that polluted the town's protection barrier node. People became excused.
“When I heard these words from the aboriginal people passing by, I felt that these things were too far away for small towns like us.” The mayor suddenly sighed He took a breath, and his expression was filled with some reminiscence. After a while, he opened his mouth and said to Ji Xiaoyan: "Those professional alliances are also extremely powerful on the mainland."
Ji Xiaoyan frowned, not understanding what the mayor wanted to do with these words.
“And we are all ordinary aborigines.” The mayor suddenly laughed at himself twice, as if he thought it was strange that Ji Xiaoyan’s eyes were filled with confusion when he looked at him. Then he quickly stopped his feelings and faced Ji Xiaoyan After smiling, he said apologetically: "Speaking of which, these are all what I heard, and I don't know if I can tell you the truth."
"It's okay! Mr. Mayor, please continue." Ji Xiaoyan let go He frowned and said encouragingly to the mayor.
“I once heard a passing aborigine say that these alliances of various professions will issue different tasks for those who participate in the assessment to complete every year during the assessment. "The mayor said to Ji Xiaoyan seriously, "These tasks are various and different every year, but the aborigines who participate in the assessment will do their best to complete them."
Ji Xiaoyan nodded.
"At the beginning, I actually thought that the people who polluted the energy stone of our town's protection barrier node were probably people from the Dark Town camp, so they were able to destroy our town when they attacked it. The protective barrier was destroyed! If City Lord Ji had not arranged for so many people to come to our town to help, then those people from the dark camp would have been able to destroy it very easily! Our town was taken from us." The mayor frowned and finished speaking to Ji Xiaoyan. He looked at her and nodded silently before continuing: "However, after that, two contaminated pieces were found. When the town protected the energy stone of the barrier node, I became a little confused again."
"Why?" Ji Xiaoyan also raised his eyebrows and asked the mayor in confusion. road.
“Lord City Lord, think about it! If the person who contaminates the energy stone of our town’s protection barrier node wants only to destroy the town’s protection barrier, he can easily capture our town. In terms of purpose, then, they sent people to sneak into our town, and they must have a quick victory! The effect of contaminating one town protection barrier node energy stone is actually the same as contaminating two! "That one! Mayor and adults His eyes were slightly bright, and he looked at Ji Xiaoyan with a somewhat excited expression. He stared at Ji Xiaoyan and said, "Mr. City Lord, are you right? What is so strange about our town? Those town protection barrier node energy stones have been contaminated. If you hit it, the entire town's protective barrier will collapse, right? Anyone who knows the energy stone of the town's protective barrier node will know this truth."
But what if the people who come don't know this? Where's the secret? Ji Xiaoyan thought so in the bottom of his heart.
However, the mayor seemed not to be affected by Ji Xiaoyan at all. After a pause, he started to eat again and said to Ji Xiaoyan: "So, Lord City Lord, this polluted pill has nothing to do with it. The meaning of contaminating two particles is completely different.”
Ji Xiaoyan frowned and kept staring at the mayor in front of him. Seeing him look like his guess was correct, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Sometimes, she even felt that the mayor in front of her was really innocent!
“So, what the mayor wants to say is that since that person has stayed in the town for so long and spent so much effort, if he just wants to destroy the town’s protective barrier, Then it is enough to destroy one town protection barrier node energy stone, and there is no need to destroy the second one?"
The mayor nodded immediately and praised Ji Xiaoyan for being very smart? expression.
“If what the mayor wants to say is that that person finally destroyed two town protection barrier node energy stones, it is probably because he was most likely sent by the Mages Guild to complete the task. !" When Ji Xiaoyan said this, the aura on his face began to change, "That's why he would waste time and stay in the town to pollute one more town protection barrier node energy stone. The mayor wanted to say Yes, this is probably the case, right?”
"Yes! City Lord, you should be more transparent!" The mayor glanced in the direction of Ji Xiaoyan with some sweat, but his legs trembled slightly under her intense gaze, and then He fell to his knees with a plop on the ground without any spine! !
