Chapter 1752 Suspicion
The old Duke continued to speak without hesitation. He heard the Orc King coughing dryly, but he was helpless.
I suppressed my smile, shook my head, and said in a deep voice, "May I ask, do you know why that little black bear only has three legs left?"
"The wild beast wants it," said the old Duke.
"Do you think any wild beast would dare to attack the cubs of the King of the Forest at will?" I curled my lips and shook my head: "Even if it were me, I wouldn't dare to provoke the King of the Forest easily, because I can't defeat it."
The old Duke raised his eyebrows and turned his gaze to the Orc King. The Orc King nodded slightly and said: "Xiao Yi is right, even I am not sure."
After listening to the words of the Beastman King, the old Duke couldn't help but be surprised and asked: "The King of the Forest is so powerful, so what kind of attack did its cubs suffer?"
I pondered for a few seconds and said slowly: "I wonder how much the old Duke knows about the Elf Forest?"
"It's not too much, but it's not too little either." The old Duke said: "The Elf Forest is divided into two parts: the inner and outer areas. There are countless exotic flowers and plants in the outer area, giving birth to countless rare birds and beasts, while in the inner area, it is said that strange There are more flowers, exotic plants, and more rare beasts, but because there are very scary monsters wandering there, even the local fairies and elves dare not set foot there.”
"You are absolutely right," I said. "That day, the King of the Forest was walking with us in the forest with his cub. Unknowingly, he came to a deep pool. The cub was excited when he saw the water, so he jumped into the water to play. Unexpectedly, what happened? There is actually a water monster lurking in the depths of the pond that escaped from the Elf Forest. The little black bear's hind legs were bitten off by the water monster."
"No wonder" the old Duke sighed: "However, this little guy must have extraordinary escape skills, otherwise he would not have escaped from the mouth of the water monster."
"That's because the King of the Forest and I entered the water to rescue him."
"Oh?" The old Duke looked solemn, glanced at the Beastman King, and said, "What about Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty is on the shore watching us rescue."
The old Duke's expression softened slightly and he nodded slightly, looking very satisfied.
Seeing that the old man turned his attention to me again, I continued: "No matter whether His Majesty participated in the rescue or not, he never showed the slightest panic due to the appearance of the monster. Instead, he and the mother bear calmly stopped the other cubs. This This made us feel at ease and do our best to rescue."
"Then the king of the forest entrusted the little black bear to your majesty to take care of him out of gratitude for your majesty's help and at the same time to save the little black bear's life. This is the whole story."
I paused and then said: "Old Duke, although you have a very high status, in the eyes of this black bear, you are just like any other stranger. Only His Majesty, who has helped it and was entrusted by the King of the Forest, can Truly qualified to ride a little black bear.”
"What about you?" The old Duke glanced at me and asked.
I shook my head and said: "Although I am its savior, I am not the person entrusted to it, so I am also not qualified. But because we are all close to His Majesty, we are qualified to become friends with the little black bear, or Just to become comrades-in-arms, other than that, don’t ask for anything more.”
After hearing this, the old Duke's expression changed. After a moment, he sighed softly and said, "It's a pity."
Seeing that the old duke was temporarily lost in thought, the orc queen snatched the topic, smiled lightly, and said: "Xiao Yi, besides seeing me and my husband, do you have anything else to do when you come here this time? The people here at the moment are all from my own family. People, you might as well just say it.”
I lowered my head slightly and said, "Since my mother-in-law said so, I won't hide it anymore. In fact, I came here to solve something that has been bothering me for a long time."
Next, I will tell you about the adventurers guild that has recently joined the new heroic guild.
After everyone listened, they all fell into a short period of contemplation.
Shao Shao, Prime Minister Lesta, spoke first and said, "Do you suspect that those adventurers were ordered by others to infiltrate the New Valiant Guild in order to seize the opportunity to seize the guild's power?"
I nodded and said: "After all, it is no longer a secret that the New Valiant Guild is my property, and I am the common enemy of York Han City and Airui City. If they want to subvert my power, they will inevitably I have to start from all my industries, the first of which is the New Heroic Guild, which has grown so big now. As long as they subvert the regime of the New Heroic Guild, they can cut off the connections between many guilds, and even create conflicts unexpectedly. Weaken the strength of some guilds, such as the Iron Wolf Guild, the Rose Legion of Dasha City, and the Dwarf Guild."
"Once the strength of these three guilds is weakened, or they become incompetent due to conflicts, then it is very likely that the current situation of Dashai City will be affected by the melee, breaking the original stable and united situation, causing Dashai City to be in a short period of time. We cannot unite as one."
Before I could finish my words, the old Duke's eyes flashed with a sharp cold light, and he said in a cold voice: "These brats actually want to disturb the peace of our city, Dasai City. They have really sinister intentions."
Prime Minister Lesta's eyes flickered, and he said, "I'm afraid that may not be the case."
I turned to look at him, very puzzled, and said, "What do you mean?"
"They may not want to disrupt the three major guilds and then disrupt the foundation of our city." Lestat raised his head, looked at the Orc King, and then looked at the old Duke, and said: "I wonder if you still remember, Xiaoyi once mentioned two people, one is Bone Prison Breath and the other is Skatha. The former mutated into a stiff walking corpse, and the latter mutated into a dragon. But before both died, they were ordinary people. Adventurers are no different from ordinary adventurers.”
hiss!
The old Duke and the Beastman King took a breath of cold air at the same time.
I looked at the two people blankly, a little confused as to why they reacted like this, but when I connected Bone Prison Breath and Skatha with the newly settled Adventurer's Guild, I suddenly felt a chill rise. I couldn't help but shudder.
I frowned and said solemnly: "If that's true, that would be terrible!"
The old Duke nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "If those people disperse around the imperial city, choose a specific time, or besiege the palace, or commit suicide one after another and mutate into monsters, they will cause a very heavy blow to Dashai City! "
He paused, looked at the Beastman King, and said solemnly: "This is the capital of the country!"
I frowned and said in a deep voice: "What should I do, arrest those people directly, or lead them to an uninhabited wasteland to kill them?"
"Don't be impatient." Prime Minister Lesta patted me on the shoulder and said calmly: "You have done a good job so far. You are neither arrogant nor showing any emotions. I think those people don't know yet. We have noticed their matter. This is the best situation. We can secretly investigate them before anything happens. After finding out the truth, we will consider how to deal with it. Before that, we will first Discuss the response plans for various situations to avoid sudden incidents and unpreparedness.”
