Among the people who were on alert along the way, Ai Jian saw many familiar people who were affiliated with the Mage Tower. "But at this time, he had no intention of stopping to say hello to them. He nodded slightly and followed the mage leading the way without any hesitation. , followed the spiraling stairs and arrived at the door of an ordinary room on the top floor of the mage tower. ¡°I led the way and brought you here, Maize. Master Jin** is inside, go in by yourself! " Turning sideways and looking back at Ivan, the mage made way for me, his tone sounded a little sour. "Oh, thank you very much! "Ai Wen walked forward with a dry smile and knocked twice on the stone door. After receiving a response, he applied a lot of force, and the door that suddenly became as light as nothing moved lightly to the side. Behind the door is a A small study room, different from the one where Maize and Ivan used to meet. In addition to the dimmer light, this study room also has many small things for entertainment. The atmosphere does not seem so serious, but more like A place where you can take a nap when you are tired. Maize is holding his forehead with his hand, looking very tired, lying on a big chair on the side of the room. Ivan carefully takes a few steps away from Maize. He stopped when he was about three meters away. From this position, he could see very clearly that Maize's face was very bad, almost as pale as a death, probably because of the excessive consumption in the battle not long ago. But what if! Therefore, Yuan was wrong to think that Maize's strength was greatly reduced and he could do anything. When Wang first arrived at Bone Prison City, Maize's face was not very good, and he even had a broken arm, but he still broke into the Death Cave alone, and even In turn, he killed Master Xi at that time and took this position Thinking of this, Aiwen's heart suddenly moved. Judging from what happened now, that Master Xi would have gone to attack Maize alone at that time. , the reason behind it was obviously not as simple as Maize threatening his position, but rather as if someone had set up a plan to eliminate the city lord's cronies in order to make the final move. Even if Maize failed to kill him in the end, Master Xi might still come back. Otherwise, as a city master, how could he go out of his way to find trouble for an outsider who has not been here for a day? The helplessness implied in this makes Alvin feel chilled. " what's on your mind? "The momentary absence on Aiwen's face was keenly captured by Maize. He put down his right hand that was supporting his forehead, and a cold voice sounded in the small room. "I" Oh, I just thought about the former Master Xi, I thought, "Could what happened today have been planned a long time ago?" "Ai Wen wanted to find an excuse at random. But then he thought about it, now is the time when the power of Bone Prison City is re-divided. If he behaves just ordinary, wouldn't he lose a lot of advantages that he could have gained? That's all. For the sake of your own bright future, you should show your hands to Maize! "Now you have become smarter. Yes, I didn't expect them to target the entire Bone Prison City at first. . "Maize sat up and looked at Aiwen in surprise. Fang said calmly that there were only two of them in the room at the moment. He didn't say any official explanation like "the city lord went into seclusion and became possessed and died." "Haha." Well, I am a fool, and I will surely gain something," Ai Wen felt anxious in his heart. He didn't know whether his slightly abrupt performance was in line with Maize's intention, so he could only stand there with a dry smile. " I don't care whether you are a wise man or a fool. Since you can think of this, you can naturally think of other things. But as far as I know, during your stay in the outer city. After being assassinated, you have been shrinking in your own territory. Do you think that if you don't take action, the benefits will fall from the sky? "Maize got angry unexpectedly. "But teacher. Isn¡¯t my strength too low? If I join in hastily, it will be easy for others to kill me.¡± Moreover, I think that many times, being able to survive to the end is a victory in itself!¡± Ivan was embarrassed. road. "Hmph! If you don't have the power of a third-level mage or above, you may be killed at any time. Even if you have the power of a third-level mage or above, you may still be besieged to death. According to you, are you just trying to ensure safety? , hiding and doing nothing all your life? You just don¡¯t have the adventurous spirit that a devil must have!" Maize groaned. ??For this, evaluate. Ai Wen was speechless. What the demon clan generally possesses is not so much a strong spirit of adventure. It is better to say that it is a natural ambition. He is not without it as a human being, but it is just impossible to be strong enough to overcome the desire for survival! Maize felt a little irritated as he looked at Aiwen who was silent and bowing his head. Once upon a time, it was precisely because he realized that Aiwen was content with the situation, or that he was ordinary, but that he rarely lacked the strong ambition of the demon clan, MaizeOnly then would he not care about his talent, accept him as a disciple and let him go, and would recommend him outside by chance, because he knew it. Alvin will not start making small animal cakes in the short term. He was thinking about it, but now, he has to worry about this reason that he once felt relieved about. After a few seconds of silence, Maize suppressed the restlessness in his heart and said comfortingly, "Your idea makes sense, but it is not suitable for us demons. You have to remember that for us demons, taking the initiative to participate in something is not only for the sake of To maximize the benefits for myself, but also to fight for the qualification not to be betrayed. Why do you think I came to you? "Ai Wen was a little unconcerned, but when he saw Ma Ze hesitated, he seemed to be worried about something. . Suddenly I feel horrified. Maize is right. He has always looked at the current problems from the perspective of a human being in his previous life. This is true in many places, but it is completely wrong in other places. It¡¯s not that you can¡¯t go down the mountain to pick peaches, but it depends on the situation and you blindly wait for things to develop in the direction you want. Even the strongest person in this area and the city lord of Bone Prison City can¡¯t help but feel regretful in the end. What? Ai Wen was startled, all the hair on his body stood up, and he asked carefully, "Teacher, is someone planning to attack me?" " Your reaction is quite quick. In the past two days, the city has been unable to calm down. I asked you to come here to prevent you from being killed in the chaos, but it was just a precaution. "You don't have to worry too much." Maize looked at Alvin again in surprise. After not seeing each other for a while, this cheap apprentice seemed to have improved a lot. He noticed the unfinished meaning of his words, and it was not in vain that he specially sent someone to find him. "Besides this reason, there is another thing to do to find you. News just came from the outer city. I heard that the library in the outer city's city hall suffered a lot of losses in this turmoil. "It wasn't me! "Evan felt guilty and couldn't help but interrupt Maize. "Huh? "Maize glanced at Alvin steadily, and suddenly a smile of understanding appeared on his face. "It seems that in addition to the unavoidable natural disasters, there are also factors related to the damage to the library. Who do you think is responsible? Good thing? "Haha, well," according to common sense, the person who reported the loss should be the most suspicious! "What kind of natural disasters are all caused by **!" Ivan was wiping cold sweat. If he was to be suspicious, who else could be more suspicious than someone who had worked in the library? Of course, for Maize's sake, most people wouldn't dare to find him. "That's why Maize nodded and casually spread out a piece of parchment in front of him. As he spoke, he began to write and draw on it. "Well, originally I was going to take advantage of the dilapidated library to change your position. But since you think there is a problem inside, then you can find out the problem for me and let me see your ability! " "oh! "Aiwen waited for a while, then took the square piece of parchment from Maize's hand in a daze, and then walked out of the door. It took him a while to come back to his senses. Is this the end? Although Maize said There seemed to be other meanings hidden in it, but not to mention other things, it just said that he was asked to investigate. Is there anything more ridiculous in the world than letting criminals become policemen? What can be investigated and what can be tested in that way. Is it a test of his ability to frame people? "Ai Wen still has some confidence." As he walked on the road, Ivan lowered his head and looked at the parchment in his hand. It was a simple appointment and dismissal document. The text above is the simplest Nim script that is commonly used in banquets in Bone Prison City, so with Aiwen's current level of education, he can roughly understand the meaning. "Death Cave, Second Guard", "Guard, Captain?" Ivan read out the contents recorded on the parchment intermittently. Judging from the meaning above, in addition to the task of investigating the library, the main content seems to be that he is required to serve as the captain of the garrison in one of the three passages in the Death Cave. Ning is a chicken and the mother is a cow. The three entrances to the Death Cave are all outside the Bone Prison City. Although there are a lot of troublesome things to deal with on a daily basis, there are usually few big shots to harass them. The captain is the biggest in dealing with daily affairs, and he is a veritable chicken head position. . In the past, the positions of captains of the three garrison troops were occupied by bone demons. Now that the city lord is dead, these bone demons who have no backers, whether they die in this incident or not, naturally have to free up these positions. However, it is said that the rebel forces this time include the Undead's Ao Shuang. I don't know what kind of agreement the new forces in Bone Prison City will reach with the Undead. Whether those three garrison troops will continue to exist has naturally become a question. Ivan does not want to have just taken office and worked hard to sort out the relationship with his subordinates, only to receive a notice that for the sake of neighborly harmony, all garrison troops Abolition
