Chapter 108 You Must Have Something to Say to Me

In the city lord's office, Liu Huo, who had always been afraid of Xu Nan with his poisonous tongue, fell into a long silence under the novel and tricky question from Senior Sister Jiang's angle.

However, the Chief Archmage of Unknown City didn't intend to let the poor ship soul friend go. Instead, he asked several more tricky questions one after another, causing Liuhuo to fall into the predicament of almost shutting down.

In the end, Xu Nan couldn't stand it anymore, so he found an excuse to let Liuhuo escape.

Although seeing Liuhuo's deflated appearance, Xu Nan felt secretly refreshed. After all, although he is the owner of Dengyun Ship, in the entire Unnamed City, it seems that there are very few people who can deflate the students of Ship Soul. Except for Sister Ah Tang, who has a mysterious background, Jiang Yuan seems to be the only one left.

Xu Nan has a little understanding of the small conflict between Senior Sister Jiang and Liuhuo, but she has always been puzzled: Ever since Jiang Yuanchi joined the management of Unknown City on behalf of Stephen Sang, Liuhuo has always treated her lukewarm, superficially respectful. Nominally, the chief mage is the second in command of the unknown city besides the city lord; but Xu Nan always feels that Liuhuo's attitude towards Jiang Yuanchi is very ambiguous, even a little bit hostile.

On the contrary, Xiao Jianhun's attitude towards Qin Lele is much better.

This is totally unscientific, okay?

Theoretically speaking, Jiang Yuanchi is a disciple of Ms. Stephen Sang'an Suli, and the successor of the arcane empire with a strong root; but Qin Lele, on the contrary, hangs out with the guys from the Heavenly Kingdom every day, and is a substitute for Fei Er. Lando copied the book and sold treasure chests to McCann...

Of course, Xu Nan didn't go into this abnormality. It's normal for Liuhuo to have his own thoughts. As long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, the current City Lord Xu doesn't have so much thought and energy to dig out the gossip between these female creatures. The subject of gender still needs to be studied at present, and naturally it is not Xu Nan's favorite.

John is probably very interested, but unfortunately, at this time, no matter how messed up Xu Nan is, he would not throw the fire to the scientific research madman for slicing.

After easing the atmosphere, Xu Nan had a clearer understanding of the results of the raid from Jiang Yuanchi.

In general, everything was within his expectations, except for the part of the Underdark.

"Is there really a passage leading to the Underdark?" Xu Nan asked, pointing to a striking mark on the crude map.

"I have done a radiation test." Talking about business, Jiang Xuejie's attitude was still very correct, and she quickly handed a complete record book to Xu Nan: "The radiation from the emerald mine has reached here, and it has nothing to do with the distance. , but decays rapidly. This is similar to the situation near the mage tower you mentioned before."

Xu Nan nodded slightly.

Near the mage's tower in the swamp of living corpses, the radiation data of the emerald mine is also very low, which is because of the seal of the blood god and the domain of the god of poverty.

And if there are similar signs at this passageway, it means that the divine power of the ancient gods has covered this place.

This shows that even if this passage is not directly leading to the underground world of the Underdark, it is also a road leading to the relevant transfer station.

After all, to judge whether a dungeon belongs to the real dark world, the isolation of the ancient god's divine power is the only indicator.

Calculating carefully, the place Xu Nan chose is really not bad. This place is not far from the passage, and the divine power of the ancient gods cannot be completely covered, but it can avoid the attention of the heavenly kingdom and other forces to a certain extent; The sphere of influence of the God of God, for the time being, shouldn't cause fire. After all, the dormant gods in the Underdark have never been known for their benevolence.

"Send someone to guard the passage, and always pay attention to the movements over there."

Xu Nan ordered.

Jiang Yuanchi nodded: "I've filled up the intersection of that passage with your inflatable puppets, and any disturbances will not escape our monitoring."

Xu Nan was very satisfied. Although these words sounded weird, Senior Sister Jiang was really impeccable when she got down to business.

The two discussed the current situation in the unknown city one after another, and reached a certain degree of consensus.

In essence, Jiang Xuejie's sweep this time was to relieve Xu Nan of some worries, and also set the tone for the future cooperation between the two.

She is from Stephen Sang, and to a certain extent represents the will and interests of Stephen Sang; Xu Nan is from the Lost Paradise, and also wants to maintain the party of the Lost Paradise; of course, if conditions permit, Xu Nan will definitely collude with Jiang Yuanchi, and the two Wouldn't it be nice to conspire to dig out the corners of both sides...

It's a pity that the two major forces are not vegetarians. Xu Nan may be able to find loopholes in the matter of the emerald mine, but it is related to the development of the unknown city, and there is no room for ambiguity.

This quietly sprouting underground city means many things: Stephen Sand's temptation, the attempt of Paradise Lost, the cooperation between the two parties... and something more profound.

In order to handle the affairs of the unknown city more properly, even if Xu Nan and Jiang Yuanchi have a good personal relationship, they still have to be clearly divided.

Now, the tone is pretty much set.

Xu Nan is in charge of the interior, and Jiang Yuanchi is in charge of the exterior. Reasonably speaking, Xu Nan is not very good at government affairs, but Warlock Ron seems to have a unique talent in this area. In the past few days, Xu Nan has become very proficient in how to pluck the wool of the icelanders; besides, There is indeed a gap in strength between the two.

Jiang Yuanchi came out of Stephen Sang's retreat this time, and his strength soared beyond comprehension. Xu Nan was envious, so he could only hand over this matter to Senior Sister Jiang.

The result of this raid did not disappoint Xu Nan either.

In addition to the few lairs that Liuhuo routinely reported, Jiang Yuanchi actually eliminated more monsters. Most of the monsters were worthless and could only add chaos to the Unknown City. With the style of the King of Thunder, they were naturally wiped out.

She also marked the few who were temporarily inconvenient to deal with, and prepared to settle accounts after the fall.

For example, the young black dragon.

According to Jiang Yuanchi's report, there is a relatively prosperous ecological group near the northern cave, 20 kilometers away from the unknown city, and a young black dragon is at the top of the ecological group.

This young black dragon does not seem to have been out of childhood for too long. Judging from the scales, he is currently in a period of rapid development, and he will be able to enter the full-blown state in a few decades.

The black dragon controlled some lizardmen and kobold tribes, and some duergars, but not many.

The young black dragon's threat is not bad. Considering the opponent's current situation should be more inclined to dormancy and development, the threat index to the unknown city will naturally be greatly reduced.

Judging from the current combat power of Unknown City, it is almost impossible to win this ecological group at a relatively low cost.

So Jiang Yuanchi didn't startle the snake.

Of course, in the face of black dragons that are naturally immune to all magic, spellcasters are not a good dragon-slaying option.

In addition to the black dragon, there is also a lair of what appears to be a dire troglodyte, and a tribe of direhorns.

These three locations are all marked with dangerous marks, which are options for Xu Nan to solve in the future.

In a short period of time, Xu Nan still chooses to wait and see and monitor. After all, Anonymous City has just selected some of the Icelanders with decent force to form the City Lord Guard. Before it came out, it was difficult for the Unknown City to accept a small-scale battle involving non-professionals.

What the unknown city can rely on is actually Jiang Yuanchi's magic. For many small cities that have just begun to develop, a powerful spellcaster is almost the perfect guarantee for the start, let alone the potential of Stephen Sang behind Jiang Yuanchi. help.

"It seems that we have to find a way to get more combat power from Stephen Sang."

"There are also alchemists. People in the ice field can naturally be competent for assembly line operations after training, but the real alchemy products still need a skilled alchemist..."

Xu Nan made a silent decision in her heart.

...

Security matters around the Unknown City were put on hold for the time being, and Senior Sister Jiang chose to return to Stephen Sang, supposedly for the purpose of returning to life.

Xu Nan wandered to the Ratman Tribe to pay a visit.

Since the last time he finished his polite conversation with Zula, he has been dawdling around the mine, passing by the Ratman Tribe several times, and he just refused to go in after being hinted by the wooden crow repeatedly...

The reason, of course, is multi-faceted, the most important of which is the hunger man's appetite.

At this moment, he felt that the time was ripe, so he paid a sudden visit. Anyway, he had already figured out the routine of those ratmen. In this place without day and night, as long as Zura didn't sleep, it would not be considered presumptuous.

In a ratman village, in an inconspicuous tent.

A rat girl with big eyes filled Xu Nan with tea carefully, then bowed and retreated.

Not far away, there was a rumbling sound. Even after such a distance, you could still hear the sound of the mining trucks initially refining the gold ore collected by the workers.

Zula sat quietly on the simple stone bed, staring at Xu Nan intently.

"My lord, you are finally here."

Different from the vicissitudes of voice after the magic voice transmission, Zula's voice looks very young. Unfortunately, most of the ratmen are old-looking, and with a big beard, it is hard to tell his age.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Nan smiled and didn't say much.

From the way the ratmen in the village looked at him curiously, it was not difficult to see that the Itka ratmen were very disturbed and slightly surprised by these alien humans.

And the magic staff he used in front of the Well of Illusion probably made Zula look at him with admiration.

According to Xu Nan's calculation, Zula wanted to chat with herself a long time ago.

"You must have something to tell me."

It has to be said that Xu Nan's pretending to be profound is getting better now. At this moment, he feels that his tone of voice... Even the gesture of holding the teacup is so confusing and unpredictable.

Sure enough, Zura took a deep look at him and replied:

"Indeed, I have a very important thing to report to you."

Xu Nan smiled slightly.

"The mines opened up by your city-state work day and night, which has seriously affected the sleep quality of our Itkarats!"

Zula accused righteously.

The smile on Xu Nan's face gradually faded.

It seems that this is not the same as the script in my heart...

...
