Ricks looked at the city under his feet in a restless mood, in the morning sunshine>Larien was like a dream and beautiful like a fairyland.

The guards stood on the tower day and night waiting to check every visitor in. The poet hesitated to hand out his only identity certificate. In the past two years, he has been rejected countless times. He has never returned to this famous water city since he was driven out of Lelarion by the lord, and this time... I'm afraid the same is true.

However, what surprised Herrix was that the guards actually let go. He walked step by step and was full of confusion at the wooden expressions of the two guards. Halfway through the rotation stairs, Herrix understood the reason. The dark elves blocked the way, and the smirks of the mouth made people frightened.

"You'd better give up the strange thoughts in your head. Although I won't kill you, I don't mind cutting off a part of your body that will escape." The elf with his arms wrapped around his chest confidently said cruel words, and Herrix's mouth twitched slightly.

"Can I think you came here to block me? Listen, I'm not here to inform me. If I really want to inform me, I won't..." Misunderstood that Klein wanted to stop him from informing me, Herrix was stopped by his arm that choked his neck.

"I'm not interested in what you are doing."

"Then why..."

"My companion is transferring water demons in the Lord's Mansion. He thinks you are related to those hidden secrets. You should not run around until the matter is over." Before Herrix's speech, Klein pointed above: "There is a short time for the confusion technique. I don't want to be expelled from the city again. You'd better cooperate with me."

Herrix couldn't even pluck up the courage even after opening his mouth. He also wanted to know the real inside story of the Water Demon Rebellion and what was so-called related to him. If possible, he wanted to restore his ability to use spells.

"Very good, I like smart people." After waiting for a while, Klein knew that he had figured it out. When he brought the poet back to the hotel where he temporarily settled, the female priest had woken up from his shallow sleep.

"Don't get involved in ordinary people." Dora didn't expect to see this poet who met in the village again. As a rich and sowing land priest, her perception of the undead is no worse than that of the Sun priest of the representative life. It seems that ordinary tasks hide the dangers that ordinary people can't imagine. Although she just asks the Kalian mercenary to ground other tasks, she also feels the strange aura in the water city.

"Hmph..." Klein laughed several times: "Did your temple say this? The temple is entrusted, but even a first-level mercenary can't complete the mission..."

"You..." Since you know, as the leader of the group, the dark elf, who knows the danger level of this mission, why do you still have to take on this mission? Dora cannot understand. Is this evil elf thinking about his subordinates at all?

After several days of getting along, Dora saw that Hawk and his three-person abilities were far inferior to other mercenaries who had sent to the temple before. Why did the great priest entrusted such an important task to this unknown third-rate mercenary group...

Herrix hugged in the corner and felt uneasy. He was both afraid of the future and his own destiny.

After dawn, Hawke and Reina heard that another male servant was missing and immediately remembered the person they saw last night.

The lord did not appear for two consecutive days. Instead, the general manager Placi brought another new person, saying that he was a replacement for the old gardener who had sprained his foot. The one who came was not someone else, but Dunan.

Hawke approached the yard's trimmed companions, who had just sneaked in Dunan, to exchange their respective intelligence.

It was also for the last person to sneak into the lord's mansion that Du Nan learned more from ordinary people than the other three.

"There is a necromancer in the Lord's Mansion?" Du Nan asked in a low voice: "Are you sure?"

"I have already received the affirmation of Quedlin." Although I didn't say it clearly last night, the words when the mage left were enough to prove it. Hawke was about to say what he thought Quedlin was also a necromancer, but then he thought about it and felt it was a bit redundant. Dunan's perception was stronger than that of him and Reina, and he was already suspicious. The most important thing at the moment was to solve the water demon mission, not to verify Quedlin's identity.

"Where is the mage?" Dunan believed that Reina must be asking other servants for information, but Quedlin... That guy has not shown up yet, no matter how special he is, he will have to exchange information with him.

Hawke shook his head. He had seen a mage in two days. Could it be that he was in danger?

Du Nan saw Reina poking her head out from the other end of the corridor. When she saw that there was no one on the left and right, she waved to him and hurriedly patted Hawk who was still in a daze.

"What did you find?" Even during the day, the lord's mansion was different from the mansions of other nobles. It was filled with a gloomy aura, which made Du Nan feel a strange anxiety.

"I found nothing. The servants here seemed to have been cast by magic, only working and not talking." Reina ran all over the areas where the servants could enter in the past two days. From the hall to the kitchen to the backyard, she changed more than a dozen different subjects. No matter how she asked, the servants did not respond and answered silently.

"No, this is the answer. Be careful tonight. If the opponent is a necromancer...shush..." Just as he was telling his companions to be careful, Du Nan suddenly felt something was wrong.

"It's better not to be troublesome. Those servants have already been spelled and will not say anything you want to know." Victor rose from the shadows under the feet of the three of them, shocking them to take a few steps back.

If you can't find out the inside story, you can't go to the union

Reina didn't speak, but her eyes revealed such information.

"Haha... you are so stupid. Apart from us and the lord, there are only two people in this mansion who are still awake."

Placie walked around the courtyard but did not find the new gardener. When she was angry, she saw the new guard she brought back two days ago. After seeing him, she ran away as if she had seen a ghost. Placie instinctively chased after him, and he followed Hawke to the cabin where the male servant lived. It was too late to feel something was wrong. Dunan and Reina had closed the door together.

"What do you want to do? Are you stealing? You have found the wrong place. This is the lord's mansion!" Looking at the three new servants who had just entered the mansion, Placi was still trying to take charge of the matter.

"Hello, Master Manager." Victor, who had been invisible, appeared and put on Placi's shoulder.

He always trembled all over and looked at the man in black who suddenly appeared beside him.

Wasn't this the guy brought back yesterday? They are also from the same group?

Finally realizing Placi was about to open his mouth and call, when Victor grabbed his throat.

"Don't waste your energy, there are only living people left here in the Lord's Mansion. The others... calling them to you will not be of much help."

"What do you want? Lord, but mage, his spells are very powerful..." Placi tried hard to keep himself calm, but his stuttering words exposed his inner fear.

"If you want to say the mage, we have one here too." Nan said at the right time and pointed at the silver badge on Victor's chest: "Great mage."

"We were commissioned by the Mercenary Union to investigate the inside story of the water demon's chaos.

Mr. Placi, if you don't want to be forced by us with spells, please tell us all the truth you know." Reina said again.

The Placy family was the lord's housekeeper for generations, and he knew much more than ordinary people. Under the threat of "Spell~ Ask", he had to tell the truth that he had been hiding for two years.

"After the death of the old lord, the current lord Ajisha, the legal heir of Sheld County, his uncle took away the inheritance rights. Ten years later, Young Master Ajisha returned. He had become a wizard and killed his uncle and regained the title of lord."

"The point is... we are not interested in his scene of seizing power." Neither Hawk nor Reina wanted to hear anything that had nothing to do with the water demon. What they wanted to know was what role the water demon played in the process of alternating lords' rights, and why it still made the entire county rest two years later.

"Legendly, Young Master Ajisha received the help of the water demon. He was originally... unable to use magic, so he was deprived of his inheritance." Placie was so embarrassed that he wanted to hide it, but Victor had guessed it. He had read the records about Sheldon County in the large library of Jingyao. The ancestors of the hereditary lords had a famous magician, that is, the first city lord who built the water city. Because of the mage bloodline, a family was hereditary, and the construction of the water city continued to exist.

"The dragon is a very arrogant creature..." Victor has not been idle for the past few days to monitor the necromancer hiding in the basement. He also found secrets from the lord that even it was surprised.

Placi stared in surprise at the mage who clamped him. This was the secret that only Shelder's lord and general manager knew, why did he...

"Even if it happened hundreds of years ago, there will always be legends and records. It will be meaningless to hide it. It's better to say it at once." Now, it was Hawk and others who were puzzled. They didn't understand Victor and Placi's conversation.

Dunan remembered the rumors told by the beast-controlling master when he first arrived in Leilarion City. A dragon lives in Lake Wendylana. This kind of rumors that usually make the listeners sneer at him made him feel uneasy at this moment. Could it be that there is really a dragon?

Victor leaned into Placi's ear and whispered: "The master you serve is trying to untie the seal that the family has maintained for hundreds of years. As a secret insider, you should also know that once that thing comes alive, there is only one ending for this water city. It is now a harvest celebration, and there are several times more merchants coming from other places than before. They are all innocent. In order to protect their boring reputation, do you want all the creatures in the city to be buried with you?"

"I..." Placi's defense line in his heart was destroyed. If it were just ordinary coercion, he was confident that he could grit his teeth, but it was related to the lives of countless people in the city, and he could not bear it.

"What evidence do you have to prove..." Placi needed a reason to betray the master and tell the truth.

"Hakeback old man, you are very disgusted with him, right?" Victor happened to capture the expression of Plessy's disgust in a quick glance yesterday: "He is Ajisha, the lord of this water city, and the descendant of the magician Philester."

Placi's expression stiffened in an instant.

That ugly hunchbacked old man turned out to be Lord Ajisha? He was obviously a handsome young man, and only two years have passed. How could he be...
