I have a magical tree

Exploration methods are precious, but methods of this kind of concealment are obviously more valuable and rare.

Changing places, if Xu Dao were the imperial court, he would probably choose this way.

A warrior who appears on the surface does not pose much of a threat at all, but a warrior who hides is terrifying.

For example...a lao Liu like Xu Dao! And only Lao Liu really hates Lao Liu the most! Because Lao Liu’s biggest wish is that he is the only one in the world, Lao Liu.

Xu Dao himself was able to use the giant bronze tree to cover his own aura, but this ability could not be applied to his sister. If it is true that my sister is very spiritual as the teacher said, then she may be very conspicuous in the eyes of those monsters and monsters.

After dinner, Xu Dao and his teacher went to the Shangyi Bureau for duty. The sudden appearance of the teacher immediately caused a stir in the Shangyi Bureau.

They had also received news that Elder Ge was going to retreat to break through. Now that Elder Ge has reappeared after disappearing for five days, it means that Elder Ge has successfully broken through to the fifth level.

This is the fifth-grade realm, and there are only a few fifth-grade great martial arts masters in the entire Yanghe County. In fact, let alone Yanghe County, even in the city, the fifth rank is also a very high level.

The ninth to seventh ranks are the third realm of martial artists, while the sixth to fourth ranks are the third realm of martial artists, among which the fifth rank is also called the great martial artist.

A great martial artist is a very important figure no matter where he is.

In fact, when it comes to this, Xu Dao is still a little confused. That is, Yanghe County is not a big place, but there are several fifth-level monks here. Could it be that there is something special here? ?

The third-level warriors, who are not Chinese cabbages, are gathering here now. It is really abnormal!

"Congratulations, Mr. Ge, for reaching a higher level!"

"Mr. Ge is so awesome. Now I have a fifth rank in Shangyi Bureau!"

…

Everyone congratulated one after another, and Elder Ge responded one by one, but Xu Dao could see the helplessness hidden under Elder Ge's smile. He didn't want to be so high-profile at all, nor did he think about competing with other people in Yanghe County for anything after his breakthrough!

He is just an alchemist, and he only wants to be a simple alchemist, and does not want to get too involved in the battle between several forces.

But Xu Dao understands that this is impossible. If the teacher has not reached the fifth grade, but is only the sixth grade, the room for change will be greater. But after becoming the fifth grade, the teacher's existence becomes conspicuous and cannot be hidden even if he wants to. !

This wasn't the end yet. After Mr. Ge dealt with his colleagues from the Shang Medical Bureau, it didn't take long for someone to send another gift.

Qin Zhan, the head of the County Dignity Transportation and Inspection Department, Wang Xian, the head of the Demon Suppression Department, Yun Wen, the chief of the Qing Li Department, and the county prime minister Ding Qi all sent congratulatory gifts.

And this was not the end yet. By noon, the gifts from the wealthy families in Yanghe County also arrived.

As a result, gifts piled up in Mr. Ge's official residence.

"This group of people is really..." Xu Dao scratched his head.

Elder Ge was not surprised, "I rarely interact with them on weekdays. Even if those people want to give gifts, they can't find a reason. In fact, the last time I accepted you as a disciple, someone was already secretly inquiring about it, but then the apprenticeship ceremony The ceremony was arranged simply by me. Now that I have broken through to the fifth rank, I am playing into their hands!"

Moreover, it is also interesting that this group of people chose the place to send gifts. They chose Shangyi Bureau instead of the mansion. That is because they know Mr. Ge’s temper. If they send them in private, they may be rejected. Now with such a big fanfare, Mr. Ge needs to take care of it. To save the giver’s face.

To refuse in private is to say that we are different and not to seek each other's will, and to publicly lose face is called to make enemies.

After getting off duty, Xu Dao said goodbye to his teacher and then went to the inspection department.

"Sir Xiao Xu? How come you have time to come to the Inspection Department today?" As soon as Xu Dao entered the gate of the Inspection Department, an official from the Inspection Department asked.

Xu Dao did not know the person who spoke, and he was sure that the two parties had never crossed paths.

"Does this gentleman know me?"

"Sir Xiao Xu is joking. How many people in the yamen don't know Mr. Xiao Xu?" The man smiled.

This is true. Xu Dao may only have a ninth-grade martial arts training on the surface, and his official rank is only a small ninth-grade, but he is Ge Lao's disciple. This alone is enough for many people to be polite to him.

In fact, the superiors of each department have made special instructions not to offend Xu Dao, because offending Xu Dao means offending Mr. Ge.

After a few words of greeting, Xu Dao explained his intention.

"Oh?" The man was thoughtful when he heard the words, but he was not surprised. Many people are paying attention to this matter now. After all, many people have children. These people will be worried that this kind of thing will happen to them, "So it's because of this. Master Xiao Xu, come with me!"

The man led Xu Dao into a quiet room, ordered people to serve tea, and then went to move the files.

Xu Dao began to look through it carefully, and he noticed something was wrong. These missing children ranged in age from just a few months old to teenagers!

The family situation is also very complex. There are wealthy families and there are also poor families. There is no special focus.

In addition, the gender of these children is also male or female, and the birth date is not a specific date.

So what are the criteria used by criminals to select children?

Yes, Xu Dao just looked through it once and was convinced that this was not a treacherous crime at all. It is impossible for monsters to harm people in such a targeted manner, only targeting children without harming their families.

Especially, he saw one case where the child disappeared at home. At that time, the child slept with the mother. In the end, the child disappeared, but the mother was safe and sound.

Perhaps there is some kind of demon that is only interested in children, but he does not believe that the demon will choose to let go when seeing a living person lying in front of him without resistance. If so, then this demon is too kind!

Xu Dao closed the file, picked up the teacup, and thought while sipping tea.

"Does the lord have any gains?" The man walked in again.

Xu Dao shook his head, "Not yet. Has your company made any new gains in the past few days?"

"No!" The man sighed, "Since this incident, the number of missing children has exceeded 30! We have never relaxed our investigation. But there is no clue at present."

"Didn't they say that the remnants of the demon's breath were found at the scene?" Xu Dao put down the teacup.

The man was startled when he heard this. This matter was not noted in the file. How did this Doctor Xu know? He didn't doubt that Xu Dao had done this, but it showed that Xu Dao had other information channels.

"Yes, but the remaining aura is very weak. It's too difficult to find the culprit based on this!" The man shook his head.

Xu Dao asked some more questions, and seeing that he could not get more useful information, he said goodbye and left the Inspection Office and went straight to the Outer District Clinic.
