Chapter 458 Tangled Body

The masked female elf just blinked but said nothing.

cunning!

I sighed.

"Then we've made an agreement~" She narrowed her crescent-like starry eyes again: "As soon as the world boss passes, you will accompany me to the mausoleum~"

Phew~

I sighed: "Okay."

She seemed very happy and jumped up from the wall. She put her hands behind her back and squinted her head to show off her graceful curves: "Okay, it's getting late, so I'll go back~"

As he said that, he jumped forward, turned to me, and said, "Send me off~"

"Okay, okay, okay."

After seeing off the masked female elf, I went home directly, lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling in a daze, constantly thinking about what the female elf said about the world BOSS.

The location is random, and there will be a bunch of people fighting for it. It looks like there will be a melee in more than a month.

I just don’t know if the second young master will take this opportunity to wipe out all the hostile forces. However, whether it is true or false, it is always better to be on guard.

After making up my mind, I felt much better and fell asleep quickly.

In the next month, all of us worked hard to clear monsters, just to prepare for the world BOSS in a few days.

On the way back, I passed by Old Patch's weapons shop and happened to meet him sitting at the door.

Old Patch waved to me, and I left the group and followed him into the house.

As soon as he closed the door, Old Patch took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over: "This is from the young man named Shan Yong. I didn't expect that he looks quite young, but he is actually from the city guard team." Captain."

"Ah, yes" I said perfunctorily, taking the envelope, cracking open the seal, taking out the letter paper, unfolding it and reading.

On the letter paper, there were also only a few numbers: I came to the casino for something urgent.

That night, I went around as usual, and after making sure there was no problem, I entered the casino nervously.

Shan Yong was still waiting alone in the empty casino. When he saw me coming, he raised his tired eyelids and said with force, "You're here."

I said 'hmm', looked at him, and joked: "You seem to be very tired. It can't be caused by excessive sexual intercourse."

He rolled his eyes at me feebly: "It's just that the workload is relatively heavy during this period."

"Oh, that's it." I nodded: "So, what's the reason you came to me this time?"

"Well" he breathed out, sat down and said, "The second young master plans to conduct a secret operation after this world boss."

"What action?"

"It is said that they want to enter the ancestor's tomb to find something."

Mausoleum?

I remembered the words of the masked female elf again. She also invited me to the tomb of the ancestor of the city lord of Airui City. By the way, could such a coincidence really happen?

Or is it that she has obtained the information first and is preparing to take action before the second young master?

While I was stunned, Shan Yong called me from the side and said, "An Xiaoyi, are you listening to me?"

"Ah, I'm listening." When I came back to my senses, I rubbed the bridge of my nose and said, "Exploring the tombs of our ancestors? That's really an interesting action!"

"By the way" I turned to him and said, "Do you know the purpose of his going to the mausoleum?"

Shan Yong shook his head: "I don't know, I just heard him say that he was looking for something."

"Looking for something?" My eyes lit up: "What the Second Young Master can take a fancy to is probably something like magic equipment."

"He didn't say it, but I think it's very possible," Shan Yong said, "After all, during this period, he has been planning how to seize the eldest young master's rights."

"Oh?" I became interested: "The second young master wants to reduce the eldest young master's power? When will this happen?"

Shan Yong said: "I don't know, but it seems that it has been a while."

"Huh? How did you know?"

He looked at me with contempt: "Isn't it obvious? The second young master has already begun to reach out to officials."

"You mean reaching out?" I thought for a while: "Is it like dealing with a small adventurer's guild?"

"No, it's not exactly the same," he said: "After all, these people are officials appointed by the city lord. Killing them casually is likely to cause panic, so they are mostly threats."

I looked at his tiredness and said with a smile, "Isn't it up to you to take action yourself?"

He sighed: "Yes, I still have to do it myself."

"How many officials can be at odds with the second young master?" I pinched my chin and guessed: "It can't be too many. After all, the second young master is the second heir, so even if we can't be on good terms, we won't fall out. "

"It seems that you don't know the situation in Airui City," Shan Yong said: "The eldest young master has mastered the identity information of officials in Airui City many years ago, and sent his cronies to infiltrate the families of these officials. Now many years have passed. Now, almost every official has an informant in the family of the eldest young master. Some of the informants are known to the officials, while some are ignorant. However, it does not matter to them whether they know or not. They all know that as long as they follow the instructions of the eldest young master. If you do everything, you will be foolproof, so the current Ai Rui City is actually half the sky of the eldest young master."

"Hey, I really didn't expect that this eldest young master really has his own ambitions!" I laughed and said, "I guess the second young master's threats are of little use, right?"

Shan Yong nodded: "The effect was very little. No official paid attention to the second young master's threat."

"Then go kill a few of them." I said with a bad smile, "This is called killing chickens to scare monkeys."

"Didn't I say it before?" Shan Yong said distressedly: "It's impossible to do this. After all, they are officials, promoted by the city lord himself, not those small adventurers' guilds that no one cares about."

It's right to think about it. He is just a captain of the city protection brigade, equivalent to the director of the sub-public security bureau. He has no power to punish those in power, especially since these people are key workers working directly in the capital.

"Then what are you going to do?" I asked, "Are you going to stay frozen like this?"

Shan Yong sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it. Let's do this for now and see what countermeasures the second young master has."

"Oh, aren't you afraid that because of this incident, you will leave a bad impression on the second young master and fall out of favor?"

"It would be better if I fell out of favor." He raised his head and said tiredly, "At least I don't have to work so hard every day. At least, I can have a good sleep."

"Maybe you won't think so when you are really free." I curled my lips and said disdainfully: "At that time, the money and power are all gone, and you can't even find a place to cry."

"But freedom." He hesitated, but finally, he didn't say anything more and just sighed.

"It's very confusing." I spread my hands and said, "Actually, we are very similar in this aspect."

He was startled, raised his head and asked me, "Where does it look like?"

"When I have no money, I want money, but when I have money, I long for freedom." I sighed: "Humans are inherently entangled."
