"This is it."
Outside Crow City, an old man with a cane appeared in front of the city gate of Crow City. He climbed mountains and waded in rivers for a long time before he arrived here. a city.
The old man raised his head and glanced at the city gate and the people coming and going. Crow City, as a city spawned by a typical manor economy that can be self-sufficient, can achieve a certain degree of self-sufficiency. Therefore, there are not many people going in and out of the city at the city gate. Most of them are vendors who come into the city to sell things.
The old man shook his head and whispered, "The boy from the Cassius family." Then he continued to walk towards the city gate.
The soldier guarding the door glanced at the old man who was walking towards him. After a quick glance, he paid no more attention to him. He was just an ordinary old man.
The old man just walked on the streets of Crow City, looking at the surrounding streets where there were not many passers-by, but they were still decent, and watching some workers installing street lights for lighting under the instructions of the mage. Looking at the half-open tavern and the half-drunk man coming out of it.
The old man finally walked to a building in the center of Crow City, which used to be a luxurious building for the Grand Duke of Crow City. But after Luen completed the reform of Crow City, the plaque of Crow City's official building was hung here.
Lu En usually handles affairs here, and today is no exception.
"Stop, Crow City is an important area, no one can enter." The soldiers guarding the gate stopped the old man. There is no external tour program here.
"Excuse me, I'm from out of town. Where is this place?" The old man stood on the spot and asked the soldiers in front.
"Are you a stranger? This is where our Prime Minister Lu En has his office." Seeing the old man's dusty appearance, the soldier relaxed his vigilance. Maybe he was just an ordinary old man from some unknown village nearby.
"Prime Minister Lu En?" The old man had obviously never heard of this brand-new vocabulary, and doubts appeared on his wrinkled face.
"Yes, Prime Minister Luen, just understand that he is the lord of Crow City." The soldier chatted with the old man without saying a word. Anyway, guarding the gate at work is boring, so chatting with others is okay. Relieved of fatigue.
"What about Prime Minister Lu En?" the old man continued to ask.
"Prime Minister Lu En is a good man. He not only arranges work for us, but also rewards us if we do well. I heard that Prime Minister Lu En is preparing to issue a decree recently. , asking the nobles to only let the people below work for ten hours a day." When the soldier talked about this, his words of praise were like an endless river, and he wanted to praise Rune as a god. It’s like going down to earth to save the world.
"Moreover, Prime Minister Lu En also opened a medical clinic so that we poor people can afford to see great doctors. He also rectified the vigilantes and dragged out some scum inside and beheaded them. , that’s called oneA relief. "
As the soldier spoke, the old man nodded and listened.
After the soldier finally finished expressing his gratitude to Lu En, he turned around and looked. He was still standing just now. The old man in front of him disappeared without knowing it.
The soldier could only scratch his head, shrug, and continue to stand at his station and stare at the street in front of him.
< p> "Prime Minister Lu En is really a busy man. "The old man appeared in Lu En's office, sitting on a chair in the corner, looking at Lu En who was writing something quickly at his desk, and said.Lu En's movements stagnated, and then slowed down. Xu raised his head and looked at the old man in the corner. There was no panic on his face, and he said in a calm tone: "I wonder what this old gentleman is looking for? ”
“I’ll lend you your head.” "The old man stood up slowly, flicked his cane hard, and it turned into a one-handed sword in the old man's hand.
Lu En's expression changed, and he raised his feet to face the desk in front of him. With a kick, the solid wood desk fell to the ground, making a loud noise, and temporarily blocked the old man's sword.
"Where are you from? ! "Lu En pulled out his dagger. As a kid from a rich family, he still knows some boxing and kicking skills. At this moment, Lu En stared at the old man in front of him warily, and the right hand holding the sword was slightly trembling.
He is He had killed people and had personally dealt with enemies who wanted to take his own life, but the old man in front of him was completely different. The old man felt like a calm lake, calm on the outside but bottomless. p>
“Dead people don’t need to know this. "The old man doesn't have the heart to say anything to make you understand. He just wants to take off Luen's head as quickly as possible and complete the task.
The old man's words were accompanied by his one-handed sword Falling together, Rune's dagger barely blocked the falling blade. The two swords rubbed against each other, making a heart-wrenching metal friction sound. Powerful but extremely strong, Rune's dagger was being pressed down little by little by the one-handed sword.
Rune's left hand also held the hilt of the sword, and he moved the dagger to the right with force. The old man's one-handed sword was parried, and then he slashed towards the old man's waist.
The old man's one-handed sword was withdrawn in time, firmly blocking Rune's dagger. , so that he can’t make any progress.
“Boss! "Hell appeared at the door of the office, looked at the two people in the room and exclaimed.
"Hell, help me! "Lu En shouted and kicked the old man in front of him hard.
The old man was just distracted by Hel's sudden appearance. His one-handed sword was resisting the dagger again. Facing Lu En's sudden He didn't react for a moment and took a step back.
"It's in vain. "The old man used his right hand to push away Lu En's dagger, and then he held the one-handed sword towards Lu En'sStab between the eyebrows.
Ding!
Hel appeared in time with a long sword in hand. The long sword slashed hard at the old man's arm, forcing the old man to withdraw the move. Turning to a roundhouse kick, the boot made close contact with Hull's face, kicking Hull to the bookshelf aside.
Bang!
Hull hit the bookshelf hard, and the books fell all over the floor.
"Hull!" Lu En glanced at Hull with some worry. The kick just now was not light, so don't let Hull directly kick him into reincarnation.
Fortunately, Hel wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up from the ground again.
"Tsk...trouble." The old man clicked his tongue, but that was all. Now that Hel and Luen were tied together, it only added some minor trouble to him. What was originally intended to be a silent and perfect beheading became not so silent.
"Old gentleman, who are you?" Lu En was about to run away, but the old man suppressed him from the beginning and saw no possibility of turning defeat into victory.
"I said, dead people don't need to know too much." The old man flicked his left hand hard, and a small knife cut through the air, screaming and flying towards Lu En's chest.
Click~
The knife pierced the clothes and the soft armor, but did not pierce the bottom dragon scale armor. However, the huge impact still caused Lu En to stagger back, and a mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth.

"You are indeed related to Bullock." The murderous intent in the old man's eyes was even worse, and he fired three flying knives in his backhand, two of which were aimed at Lu En's chest and one toward Lu En's head. .
Then the old man turned around, raised his hand and raised his one-handed sword horizontally, blocking Hull's slash towards his face.
The flying knives quickly enlarged in Lu En's eyes. At the moment of life and death, he reacted faster than ever before, but it was completely ineffective. His brain reacted but his body was still staggering back, completely unable to maintain balance.
Squeak~
A pen scattered on the ground was stepped on by Lu En's right foot. His center of gravity was unstable. Lu En's body fell backwards, just avoiding the flying ball. Here come three knives.
"Ouch! Hiss~" This hit Lu En quite badly, but luckily he escaped the danger of his life.
Three flying knives were nailed into the wall, from the tip of the knife to the handle, the entire knife body was completely submerged.
"I'm sorry, I don't like to give the mission target time to leave last words." The old man kicked Hel away, teleported to Rune who was trying to get up, and pointed the sword at Rune with one hand. The head he just raised, the tip of the sword was touching Rune's eyebrows.
Lu En swallowed. Are you going to die? It's a pity that the career has just started to improve. . . Lu En didn't feel fear at the moment, he only felt regret.
"I caught up this time."Suddenly there was a fourth person's voice in the room, and Lu En, the old man and Hel all turned to look at the stranger who suddenly appeared.
Archimodo adjusted his black robe. He likes to wear black at all times and is eye-catching wherever he is (only during the day).
The old man tried to swing his sword to kill Rune who was half lying on the ground, but found that his hand could not swing his one-handed sword at all.
"Andre, come and meet your cologne friend." Archimodo walked out of the window and shouted downstairs.
"Who are you?! How come you are in Prime Minister Luen's office!"
The first person to respond was not Andre, but the soldiers guarding the gate.
"Ah, trouble." Archimodo rolled his eyes, and with a wave of his staff, the soldier and Andre, who was still on the street, were teleported to the office.
"Prime Minister Lu En?!" Before the soldier could realize what was happening, he saw Chang Wei beating Laifu. . Ah, no, I saw the old man pointing his one-handed sword at Rune's forehead.
"Stop yelling and keep watching." Archimodo waved his hand at the soldier, and the soldier was forced onto a chair in the corner and was not allowed to move.
"I didn't expect that the Stability Maintenance Association would all resort to assassination." Archimodo looked at the old man in front of him, chuckled and shook his head, "It's true that the more you live, the more you go back."
p>The old man's expression did not change at all, he just responded coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Archimodo no longer cared about the old man, just watching him crawl from the ground Lu En, who was still a little embarrassed when he got up, looked interested, "Did you build this city?"
Lu En was stunned for a moment, but seeing that the other party was his savior, Lu En En still responded with a good attitude: "Hmm, I guess I did it."
Archimodo smiled, patted Lu En on the shoulder, and said with appreciation: "Not bad, very good. The last time this happened was two thousand years ago."
Two thousand years ago? Are there people in history who thought the same way as me? Lu En didn't know much about history, but looking at the black-robed mage's words, it must have happened in history.
"No, this is called professionalism. Look at what your cult is doing all day long." After praising Luen, Archimodo turned around and insulted Andre. .
Luen and Hel's pupils shrank, and they looked at Andre at the same time. Is this a member of the cult? !
Unlike Lot, Rune and Hel are not qualified to come into contact with the truth of history. Their understanding of the divine religion is still limited to what is usually promoted by the stability maintenance association: it is so bad that it oozes pus. of cult.
Andre snorted, "How many more times do I have to say that I quit ten years ago."
"Do you know Gaowu?" Andre Walk to the runeIn front of him, even though the dwarf was not tall enough, Andre's head just reached Rune's chest. But Andre's momentum suppressed Lu En so much that he didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves.
"Yes." Lu En swallowed. This was the first time he had seen such a terrifying dwarf. Don't they say that dwarves are a group of noisy but very friendly uncle-type creatures? Why is this person in front of me so scary!
"Tell me, where is he now?" Andre continued.
Lu En lowered his head and rummaged around on his body, but did not find the small map. Hull, who was still on his side, took out a large map from the filing cabinet and handed it to Lu En.
Rune spread out the map and pointed to a corner of the river, "Right here, Gawu should be with a hunting group."
Andre Point He nodded and said, "Thank you." Then he left the office without looking back.
Archimodo shrugged at Hel and Luen, who were still a little confused, and left with Andre.
"Wait a minute! I don't know the name of this benefactor yet!" Lu En quickly followed him. He was saved by someone for no apparent reason. He must know who saved him.
"Archimodo." Archimodo waved his hand and followed Andre away without looking back.
"Boss." "Prime Minister Lu En." Hull and the soldier walked to Lu En at the same time.
"What should we do with this one?" Hull pointed at the old man who was still there and couldn't move, and made a chop gesture with his hand.
"Chop it." Lu En simply replied. Since everyone is here to assassinate him, he must be prepared to be killed.
"Stability Maintenance Council...why?" Looking at the scene of the old man being dragged away by the soldiers, Lu En rubbed his chin and thought about how he had offended the Stability Maintenance Council. It stands to reason that he is not trying to subvert the world, so no matter what the stability maintenance committee says, it is impossible for him to be hostile to him.
"Brock... could he be a wizard?" Lu En remembered the old man's words and said that he was related to Bullock. It seems that Bullock is something powerful, the kind that can destroy the world. Could it be Gaowu? Why should we keep silent just because we have a relationship?
Or is it that the Stability Maintenance Association originally wanted its own head, and its relationship with the so-called Bullock was just incidental? But why? Because he brought a brand new system? Or is it because of what I pushed for?
