After spending some time, Slanted Liu Hai described what Wei Lisi had heard from Mr. Leader from another angle in more detail.

The content is nothing more than the story of a young man who used to be a poacher, who was betrayed by his companions and rescued by kind people.

Wei Lisi had already heard it once, her heart was basically calm and she probably just wanted to sleep, and Xiao Longniang still looked cold, only the oblique bangs of the person concerned and Irene seemed to be full of emotions.

"So, it was Bryce who betrayed you? Isn't he... a companion who grew up together in the slums? We usually have such a good relationship. After you disappeared in the Demon Mountains, he also took good care of me..."

"I don't know, but it's obvious that that guy is planning to kill me. On the one hand, I am entrusted by the regiment leader to come back this time. On the other hand, I also want to find him, ask him clearly, and make a conclusion."

"………I see."

A trace of imperceptible haze flashed across Irene's face, she nodded heavily, turned around, and stretched out her hand to move the old wooden bed out with great effort. Seeing this, Slanted Liu Hai hurried forward to help.

Working together, the two quickly cleared the space under the bed. After staring at it for a long time, Wei Lisi was surprised to find that there was a very imperceptible metal pull button covered by thin dust on the ground.

Obviously, there is a hole in the sky below.

The girl found the lock close to the floor with ease, and while pulling it up a little bit, she did not forget to explain to the second daughter of Wei Lisi who met for the first time.

"Cyril and I are both peripheral members of the [Ghost Thieves Group]. This organization is very large, and not all subordinates go out of the city to hunt [cargo]. For a female class like me who can't fight, the job is to be in charge of intelligence communication and manage one of the entrances to the dark zone.

"dark zone?"

Willis, who was thinking about something else, couldn't help but tilt her head in doubt when she heard this word.

"Well...it's hard to explain, you'll know when you see it later."

Irene subconsciously touched a string of necklaces covered by clothes on her smooth neck, with emotion on her face.

"Actually, I don't like poachers, but when Cyril insisted on doing this job, his violent temper... I think you have seen it before. I was worried that something would happen, so I joined the organization, hoping to help more... Hehe, I didn't expect such a day to come."

Chapter 400: Chapter 28: The Dark Side of the City

Irene opened the floor interlayer, and what came into view was a somewhat narrow downward stone staircase.

There was no light source in the corridor, and the damp and cold air rushed towards the face as the exit opened, with a somewhat sour smell. Although Wei Lisi frowned slightly, she didn't say anything. The abnormality of this body Adaptability has always been strong.

"Under here, is the base of the Ghost Bandit?"

This time, it was Slanted Liu Hai who responded immediately.

"The base of the Ghost Thieves would not be so simply connected to the slums, otherwise they would have been found and wiped out long ago. Irene's access does not refer to this passage. You will understand after a while, let's go Bar."

Irene nodded, and took out some old fire pockets from her arms. After lighting it, she took the initiative to lead the way at the front. The four of them went down one by one, and Slanted Liu Hai walked at the end without hesitation, probably to prevent emergencies.

This narrow road was obviously excavated by hand. The stone walls on both sides of the road are full of potholes, the ground under your feet is also uneven, and there is no lighting facility. It can be seen that the builders did not spend much time on it. Digging the laxative hastily.

The narrow corridor was not long, but the slope was obviously slightly downward. Even at the slow walking speed of ordinary people, it took them just over half a minute to reach the end.

A somewhat rusty metal ladder extending upwards was built on the stone wall.

Irene gestured backwards, and began to climb along the ladder.

Although I dislike the dirty-looking handrails, this kind of place is not suitable for spreading wings or doing magic like floating in the air. Just crawl, anyway, the protection of [Hagoromo Glaria] includes the palms, and Willis is not afraid of being stained with dirt.

Above the vertical ladder is also a hidden splint, and outside is a room. Although it is not very luxurious, it is much finer and firmer than the small dilapidated wooden house where Irene lived. At least the main body is made of stone, so there is no trouble of wind and rain, and the furniture is also available.

However, there are no other people here, and it seems that no creature has lived in it for a long time, and a thin layer of dust has piled up in some corners.

Not long after, Liu Hai, who was walking at the end, also climbed up, looking at the surrounding scene, and seemed to be a little sighing.

"It's still the same here, Irene, is your current contact person still that guy?"

The girl looked back at her sideways bangs, and shook her head silently.

"Roderick died. About half a year after you disappeared, he also died in a poaching. Compared with your whereabouts being unknown, other people saw him split in half by a monster. You know, In this line of work, similar things are normal, and no one is sure whether he will come back alive next time."

"Really, even that old guy... Forget it, let's go out first."

"Okay, come with me."

Pushing open the door, this place looks like a closed place that is not open to the air. There are dark and hard stones high above the head, and it is likely to be deep underground. Irene picked up the torch hanging on the wall, lit it, and led the three of them along the dim alleyway.

Before Wei Lisi could say anything, she turned the corner, and the scenery in front of her suddenly opened up.

"Oh... there's something~"

Even with Wei Lisi's heart, standing on the high platform and seeing everything in the lower place below, she couldn't help showing a strange look.

The dots of fire and magic lights flicker like fireflies at night, and the lighting facilities set up on the building reflect the panoramic view of the huge market.

Here, it turned out to be a trading market built underground with an astonishing scale.

The man walking in front turned around, and his nostalgic voice sounded at this moment.

"Welcome to the shadow of Town Demon City, a paradise for poachers and criminals - the underground black market. As you can see, there are basically no serious things sold here. You young ladies had better be mentally prepared."

"Irregular things? Like?"

Slanted bangs looked expressionlessly at the black-haired girl who asked the question.

"For example, various types of drugs, poisons, drugs, banned drugs, alchemy products with unknown uses and sources, forbidden magic books and magic items, oh of course, there are also the favorite old line of poachers, those plundered, valuable alien slaves."

"Oh~"

The pastor's lady stretched her tone, and then looked expectant.

"It's really not serious. It sounds quite interesting. If you have a chance, can you show me?"

"?"

Unable to bear it, the corners of Slant Liu Hai's mouth twitched a few times. He thought that after hearing this, although the black-haired girl in front of him had a bad personality, at least she looked noble and beautiful, she would show a shy or disgusted expression, but now this Response, how is it the same as those gangster habitual offenders?

Why on earth did they come to investigate the Ghost Bandit and that matter......

Not paying attention to the eccentric eyes with slanted bangs, Wei Lisi glanced at the entrance of the underground bazaar, which was bustling with people coming and going, and even more bustling than the public wells in Zhenmo City, and took the initiative to ask the two guides for advice.

"So, what to do next, go directly to the new contact person you mentioned?"

Hearing this, Irene took the initiative to turn around, and also looked at the two girls with a somewhat subtle gaze, before shaking her head.

"I don't know where the contact person is. This underground market was jointly organized by several large-scale poaching gangs in Zhenmo City. There is a lot of mixed fish and dragons inside. It seems that something happened to the ghost thief group. According to the rules, even if Those of us external liaison officers who want to contact the organization can only leave a code in the prescribed place, and after the contact person sees it, we will take the initiative to look for it, so... I wonder if you two can understand it?"

Willis frowned, her silver-blue eyes and Irene's eyes met in the air for an instant, but the other party avoided it without a trace, so Miss Pastor spoke.

"Look? Where? Straight to your house in the slum?"

"of course not."

Irene pointed to the stone house connected to the tunnel behind her.

"This is the contact point where the contact person will come after seeing the code. Normally, the contact person will not go to the member's house casually, and I rarely go down to the black market."

"Is that so..."

It's obviously just a sneaky criminal gang, and it's doing all kinds of things.

"How long will we have to wait? Shouldn't we be allowed to stay here for several days?"

Oblique bangs obviously couldn't answer this question. After all, he had been out of the bandits for more than a year, and many things were different from before. So he and Willis turned their questioning eyes to Irene.

The latter hesitated for a moment, but still gave a reply.

"I can't be sure, but normally, as long as I use the most urgent signal to make contact, the contact person should come over immediately when they see it. The time basically ranges from a few hours to a day."

"But one thing, you can't stay nearby during this period, otherwise, if the other party notices something abnormal, my line will be completely abandoned."

The gray-haired girl glanced at the slanted bangs, and finally stopped on the second daughter of Wei Lisi. This time, she did not avoid looking at Miss Priest.

"So before we start, I think it is necessary to confirm, what is the purpose of your trip? Just to find the hideout of the ghost bandit? Or, this is a large-scale extermination campaign. In fact, more troops have arrived at the periphery. What are you going to do?"

"Um………"

This question really needs to be answered well.

It seems that Irene doesn't seem to know that the group of ghost thieves is the culprit who abducted the cubs of the Moon Shadow Royal Clan and made the conflict between the two sides intensify. Slanted Liu Hai never told her this, probably because she didn't want to worry her, or hoped that Irene would stay as far away from the center of this terrible storm as possible.

At present, Wei Lisi does not intend to take the initiative to bring up this matter. How should I put it, there are some subtle senses of disobedience and doubts, which she has never figured out.

The most important thing is that although the oblique bangs seem to trust Irene 100%, to Wei Lisi, the other party is actually just a stranger who met for the first time, and proper precautions are actually necessary.

Therefore, it is still necessary to choose an appropriate term here.

A reason... both to justify the action and to act as a temptation.

Chapter 401: Chapter 29: I have a showdown and I will stop pretending

It just so happened that Slanted Liu Hai seemed to regard them as young ladies who came from the capital, so they could be used here.

It's about time.

First, she gave the pet beside her a look, signaling her not to talk too much, Wei Lisi pretended to be mysterious on purpose, and after looking around, she covered her mouth and said in a low voice.

"Okay, it's all over here, it's okay to tell you... Actually, my real identity is the queen of the United Kingdom, the special envoy sent by Her Majesty Lilia Mekelander to investigate the magic city!"

Looking at the horrified expressions of Slanted Liu Hai and Irene, and selectively ignoring the strange look on Xiaolongniang's face, Miss Pastor continued to try her best...ah no, to deceive the two of them kindly.

"Actually, Your Majesty has long been deeply troubled by the criminal group of poachers. It's just that they are far away in the capital, and those guys are hiding tightly, and they have never been able to find a chance to make a move."

"It just so happens that conflicts between the northern border of the Kingdom and the Mountains of Ten Thousand Devils continue, and clues pointing to the poachers, His Majesty is determined to take this opportunity to find out those rats hiding in the dark!"

"We are ordered by His Majesty to pretend to be tourists from other places. The actual purpose is to sneak into the dark side of this place and investigate the details of various poaching gangs. When the time is right, we can encircle the inside and outside and solve this current situation in one fell swoop. Chaos!"

"Uh, Lord..."

"Hey, you don't need to say it! I know what you want to say, but at this time, I judge that it is the best time to confess your identity! I am the captain of the special investigation team, and this is up to me. Do you understand Team Xiaoguang?! "

"Ming, understand..."

After being stared at by Miss Priest, Miss Long Niang, whose complexion became more and more weird, had no choice but to shut her mouth obediently, and turned her head slightly as if she couldn't bear to look directly at her.

"The reason why we must find the Ghost Thieves Group is because this group is likely to be one of the key points in the whole incident, and there is even reliable information to prove that this group may have colluded with some high-level officials in the city that has already suppressed the magic city. !"

"As long as the key evidence is in hand, His Majesty will unleash the power of heaven and bring to justice those who cheated and concealed criminals as well as criminals who are at large!"

The black-haired girl put her hands on her hips, straightened out her small, insignificant chest under the white robe, and said "I am justice!" on her face, which really looked like that.

"…………"

Slanted Liu Hai and Irene looked at each other. Frankly speaking, although Wei Lisi's words sounded exaggerated and unbelievable, compared to her direct statement that "the two of us can blow up the entire ghost gang", it actually has a certain degree of credibility. of.

The dispute in the Ten Thousand Devils Mountains has indeed been raging a lot recently. It is completely reasonable for the royal family far away in the City of Valor to send people to do further investigation. From the previous communication, Xie Liu Hai has also realized that "these people probably came from the capital of the kingdom." "fact.

The fact that Wei Lisi and the others were confident in the face of the demon city army last night, and that they still appeared in the station openly and aboveboard today despite being hunted down, are undoubtedly strong side proofs.

But it is still a bit unrealistic to make them believe in everything based on this.

really.

"Even if you say that, Her Majesty's secret agents... Is there any evidence? Let me tell you first, I don't know the tokens of the big shots..."

It was Irene who raised the question, and the slanted bangs who had been in contact with them earlier showed a thoughtful look, and Wei Lisi spread her hands irresponsibly, as if you believe it or not.

"I do have the identity certificate given by His Majesty, but if you don't understand it, there is nothing you can do. In short, that's all I can say. If it weren't for the fact that you are all dissatisfied with the status quo of this city and eager to change, I wouldn't have revealed my identity now."

"Remember this is a top secret, if it leaks out...hehehe....."

"Uh………"

Irene seemed to be intimidated by someone who was deliberately pretending, and hesitantly turned her eyes to the slanted bangs beside her, while the latter tentatively said after thinking.

"Can you show me your Majesty's keepsake? I have seen some things with the head of the regiment for more than a year. I'm sorry, I don't care what I do, but Irene, I can't let her have an accident. If you It’s really Her Majesty’s secret envoy..."

Eh?

This guy... a mere slum bang bang, can really understand that kind of thing?What did Uncle Lester teach him...

However, Wei Lisi did hold Lilia's token, and the previous words were not completely deceiving, but only slightly modified the proportion of behavioral logic and the way to solve the problem.

Since the other party requested so, Miss Pastor simply took out the booklet specially made by Miss Queen, which represented a noble status in the United Kingdom, and displayed it in front of Slanted Liu Hai.

The latter didn't dare to touch it with his hands, but just opened his eyes wide and carefully studied the words on it for a long time. His eyes especially stayed on the magic seal at the bottom for a long time, and his complexion gradually became excited and excited.

"It's...it's true! Irene! They, they are really Her Majesty's people! Do you know what is written on it? Like a king, like a king! Even the Lord of Town Demon City, seeing this Everything must kneel immediately! Great, this city, everyone in the ghetto...!"

"Hey! Really?!"

Probably the girl's mind is more delicate. Seeing the reaction of the slanted bangs, Irene's face changed suddenly, and she quickly pulled him to kneel on the ground.

After all, they are just ordinary citizens, and even the city lord has to bow down immediately, and it would be disrespectful to be careless.
