Chapter 381 Trap
"This is Izabel City, known as the pearl of the north, and the height of the city is eye-opening."
Zhou Xiaoke looked at the city wall that was more than 30 meters high with excitement, and exclaimed.
Even in the history of the main world, I have never seen any city that would be built so majestic.
The city wall is not only very high and thick, but also has colorful lights that appear on it, giving people a sense of palpitations.
This heroic city is like a sleeping beast crawling in the wilderness.
In Xiao Nan's spiritual sense, there is a huge aura in the city, everywhere, as indifferent as unobservable.
"Yes, there is a brief introduction to this city on the mission map. The lord of this city is the old legend Izabel. I heard that he is a voter of the Ms. Agriculture...
She was in charge of the city, blocking the Hulan Grassland Beast Barbarian Tribe from the north, and her reputation and strength were consistent with her strength, and she was like a Dinghai Dinghai Sword and the end of our mission."
On the way, Xiao Nan was unwilling to go deep into the steel and wood forest to venture, so he had an argument with the temporary captain.
At that time, in order to determine his authority, Zeng Mingyao showed him the map and briefly talked about how powerful the Hulan grassland beast was.
At the same time, I also talked about the end of the mission, Yizabel, on the Shuangyue Lake.
Now all the old horses who know the way have died in the steel and wood forest.
The biggest difficulty for Xiao Nan and Zhou Xiaoke and others was actually not fighting head-on with the Beast Man masters, but they didn’t even have the capital to win the trust of the Lanyue Principality to escape.
Where to connect?
How to show your identity and gain trust?
These are all problems that make people scratch their heads.
Of course, now there is no mother-in-law pointing fingers on her head, so Xiao Nan can do whatever she wants.
He was not in a hurry, and paid the fee to enter the city. He first found a restaurant with a booming business, tasted the unique ale and barbecue in another world, and then walked around.
Several people walked among the bustling crowds, looking at the various races in the city, and they were quite surprised.
The atmosphere in the city was very quiet, even if the poor people were extremely shabby, their faces were very comfortable, not as anxious as they imagined.
Xiao Nan even saw a strong orc with a tall elephant nose bargaining with the vegetable farmer honestly, and saw an elf woman with exquisite clothes giggling and floating past her side.
"A hundred tribes live together and follow the rules. This city is not simple."
Xiao Nan was dressed as a standard swordsman, with the same layer of golden wig on his head, dressing like a noble young man.
Yang Guang is burly, with rough eyebrows and eyes, brown hair, and a black outfit, like a taciturn bodyguard.
And Zhou Xiaoke is of course a pretty and cute little maid.
This kind of identity can be seen everywhere on the streets and is not very eye-catching.
As long as they don’t cause trouble, there will be no city guards coming up to ask. Generally speaking, the laws in the city are quite relaxed.
After walking around for a while, Xiao Nan was a little impressed by the city lord Izabel.
Sure enough, no matter where you are, only strong strength can suppress one side.
Only by fully implementing one's will, no one can violate it.
In Xiao Nan's heart, what is most admired by this city lord lady is not her powerful force, but her strong self-confidence.
She didn't seem to care whether anyone was making trouble in the city, and she let strangers go to the city, and she was completely indifferent.
With Xiao Nan's sensitivity, even he did not notice that he was being monitored and guarded, so he must have disappeared.
At the corner, next to a used book stall, there were several people squatting down to choose, bargaining with the down-and-out middle-aged stall owner.
Xiao Nan was about to walk over, but suddenly stopped.
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Xiaoke and Yang Guang's eyes...
They were still thinking about how to use secret means to get the news of this mission, but they didn't expect that they could just sit on the street and heard someone discussing it.
"I see that the third prince of Maple Leaf of the Blue Moon Principality must not be able to walk away from Izabel. It has spread all over now. Commander of the Beast Clan Blood Wolf Cavalry Yatu set up an ambush at the Qingling Pass. I heard that there is a Bemon team present..."
"Is the news true?"
"Of course, the news from the Southern Bauhinia Caravan is still fake. Even if it is hidden in the forest, it can be seen clearly." The middle-aged man was very proud of his well-informed information and said confidently.
"Hmph, no matter how powerful the beast tribe is, what can it do? You dare not come to Yizabel City to play wild, but it's a pity that the third prince Maple Leaf. He is the last hope of the Principal of Blue Moon... I heard that he is also the god of the Goddess of the River. Do you think Ms. Bell will go to rescue and respond?"
"It's impossible. The situation is subtle now. Lady cannot leave this city easily, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable. Forget it, don't talk about things that have nothing to do with us... I said, do you buy this book or not? If you want it, you will give you three silver coins."
"It's too expensive. A silver coin is almost the same. It's not a professional skill book. It's just a noble unofficial history, and it's worth so much money?"
Xiao Nan and the others were just listening to it interestingly, but the middle-aged man stopped talking and felt itchy for a moment.
Zhou Xiaoke relied on his petite figure and full of friendship, walked up with a smile and asked, "Uncle, do you think the third prince of Maple Leaf is very strong? Why did the beast tribe dare not attack head-on, and he also had to set up an ambush to deal with it. I heard that the weakest behemoth can compare to the strength of the Martial Saint."
"It shouldn't be strong." The middle-aged man got a silver coin and was smiling, thinking that it was a good idea to open up.
When he heard Zhou Xiaoke's question, he was also stunned.
"On that day, the Blue Moon Principality was defeated, and almost all the palace mage groups were destroyed. The Blue Moon Principal broke through to the southern forest and went to the royal capital. The final force should be followed. The third prince ran to Izabel City, where could there be many masters following? His family was born as a businessman and his status was very embarrassing.
If it weren't for the name of the gods, even if he died in a corner, no one would care about it."
"So that's it." Zhou Xiaoke nodded, thanked the middle-aged man after thanking him with a smile.
After walking around for a while, Xiao Nan listened carefully to the remarks of the pedestrians around him, and from time to time he could hear about the third prince of the Lanyue Duchy.
Most of the time, this poor Maple Leaf Prince was so dangerous. He was about to die on the road, but no one was confident that he had arrived at Mingzhu City in the North safely.
Even, in the mouth of a wandering poet, he heard the details of the number of guards beside Prince Maple Leaf.
Of course, there were also martial arts teachers, a junior martial saint, and the rest were some guard knights, with only more than thirty cavalry.
"What do you think?"
Found an inn and settled down. She didn't care about washing away the dust. Xiao Nan called Zhou Xiaoke and the others to his side and asked.
"Young uncle decides, just do whatever he wants. Do you have to rush to Prince Maple Leaf as soon as possible and escort him through the barrier?"
Yang Guang frowned and said, "A little later, this task will not be completed."
"No, this is a trap. Yang Guang, you still don't like to use your brain." Zhou Xiaoke rolled his eyes and looked at Xiao Nan, with a little worried face: "There are two suspicious points. One is that the news spread too widely. Even ordinary people know the escape route of the third prince of Maple Leaf... and also know that the beast tribe in the Hulan Grassland is preparing to intercept them, which is very abnormal.
The second is, with his strength, how could he escape more than 300 miles? Is he so lucky? It seems that the enemy is intentionally doing this, and I always feel something is wrong."
Xiao Nan agreed very much and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Xiao Ke said it very well. No matter what the purpose of the third prince of the Lanyue Principality is, since he can escape for more than 300 miles, he must have a secret.
This is related to his purpose in coming to Izabel. What exactly did he come to do? Why did he have to run so far to come to this city?
Moreover, there is only one reason why the news can spread so far, that is, others intentionally spread it. What is the purpose is not yet clear, but it is certain that someone is manipulating it behind the scenes."
Xiao Nan patted his head and was a little depressed.
Not only was the captain dead, but the mission controller could not be found, and some inside information was not clear.
This task is really confusing, but I can't turn back.
Zhang Zhen didn't seem to be telling lies at that time.
He said that the mission is very important, and it is related to the belief in the gods and the situation on the battlefield, and it must be true.
At that time, Zhang Zhen would never have thought that he would fail in the middle. He might not say it in detail for the sake of caution, but he would not tell lies.
"Xiao Ke, did Colonel Zeng Mingyao missed his words when he was taking on the task?"
"No, I asked, that guy was so arrogant, he didn't say anything, he just said it.
He asked anxiously, and he scolded me. No matter what, he said, he would escort the third prince of the Blue Moon Kingdom to the shore of Shuangyue Lake, and it would be best to enter the city." Zhou Xiaoke was also a little angry.
"Are you going to the city? In this way, there is only one way?" Xiao Nan pondered for a while and said decisively.
He felt that he could not be so passive.
I don't know anything, and this task is completely difficult to do.
In fact, he is mentally prepared to fail the task.
If it is the level of cultivation at the time of departure, the only thing you should consider at this time should be to return.
After all, the team suffered heavy losses this time, and it is not impossible to go back.
But hasn't the strength recovered now? He thought, if possible, might as well give it a try again.
However, he could not act according to the original plan. He deeply suspected that this was actually a trap, perhaps aimed at Izabel City, or perhaps targeting people from the main world.
Since you can't see through it, then go back to the original mission.
Just send the Maple Leaf Prince to the shore of Shuangyue Lake. As for the methods, you can consider them separately.
Chapter completed!
