As he spoke, the light in Shi Liuli's eyes condensed into a very fine point, like a needle tip flashing with cold light. The captain felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet straight to his forehead. He suddenly became excited and nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice. ,road:

"Yes, yes, I understand!"

Shi Liuli let go of her hand holding the other party's collar.

Jianshi Liuli seemed not to pursue the case, and Yali couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but she said:

"Liu Li, there are still some questions I want to ask."

Shi Liuli glanced at her, nodded, and returned to the two sisters.

Reasons for martial law

Seeing this scene, the captain was shocked, as if he had discovered something incredible.

He suddenly realized that the woman in front of him had already asked Shi Liuli for advice twice——

Once when he wanted to check on the two sisters, and the other time now.

Could it be that, even if he is as powerful as the one in front of him, he still has to look up to the little girl called "Liu Li"?

He couldn't help but feel lucky that his attitude was quite 'good' just now and he didn't offend Shi Liuli, otherwise he might not be able to leave today.

However, there is still a difficulty waiting for him.

I wonder what Yali wants to ask again?

He looked at Yali eagerly, fearing that she would ask some tricky questions that he didn't know or would ask.

Now the person in charge (probably) Shi Liuli has no intention of pursuing her. As long as he passes the current hurdle, he will be safe.

Yali also saw the other party's worries, but she didn't pay so much attention and asked quietly:

"I don't have much to ask, just one thing - I heard along the way that nobles seem to be dying frequently in the empire recently, including in this city yesterday."

this one?

The captain breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone hanging on his heart finally fell.

These are no secrets either.Such a big thing has long been rumored in the major cities near the imperial capital. Even if the higher-ups deliberately suppress the news, how can it be possible for thousands of people in the empire to completely suppress it?

At most, it is just to push things under the water and prevent them from completely rising to the surface.

Yali didn't seem to be a local, so it wouldn't be surprising if she didn't know. It would be much easier if she just confirmed it with him.

"You are right. Such things have indeed happened recently. It is said that they are all caused by the monster."

"Yeah." Yali nodded slightly and continued:

"What I want to know is that there was no martial law in the city even after Earl Hudson died yesterday, but now it is like this. If my guess is correct, the lord of this city, Duke Brinis, was assassinated. Already?"

The captain was startled and frightened. He glanced around subconsciously, as if he was concerned about whether there were other people around him.

When Yali saw this, even if the other party was not sure, she was already [-]-[-]% convinced.

The captain wiped away the non-existent cold sweat and rolled his eyes, considering whether to say it or not.

He was silent for just a moment. His thoughts had reached this point and it didn't matter if he said more. He lowered his voice and opened his mouth:

"As you said, the Duke was indeed assassinated, but I am not sure. After all, it just happened not long ago. Whether the news is true or false is still open to question..."

Is that really the case...? ——Yali Dai frowned slightly, a little solemn.

As the vice-president of the Mage Association, she has experienced a lot of dealing with foreign countries. At the same time, because the Vergar Empire and the Sorcerous Kingdom of Laval have concluded a treaty of friendship, the association is relatively good at external exchanges. Focusing on the empire, Yali also has a clearer understanding of the empire's power structure.

This was the reason why she could call Duke Brinis by name.

But now comes the problem. The Duke's status in the empire is not insignificant. He is the pinnacle of the aristocracy. Now that a Duke is assassinated, it is not surprising that such a big event shakes the Empire. The martial law in the city is already considered light. .

However, so far, Yali has not seen heavy soldiers patrolling the streets. There is only a small team of about twenty people enforcing martial law orders.

This means that although the Duke was assassinated, he did not seem to die?

Of course, this is just Yali's speculation. The incident has just happened and we have to wait for further news to confirm.

She didn't ask the captain. He didn't have access to this level of information, so asking was in vain.

"Um...please don't spread this matter, otherwise it may cause big trouble."

Yali gave him a meaningful look and said calmly:

"Can you hide it? If I can guess it, there will naturally be another one. You just say that because you are worried that you will be affected."

Speculations were always just speculations, but if anyone knew it came from him, he would be dead.

The captain's face twitched, but he didn't dare to get angry. Instead, he flattered him and said:

"You are really good at predicting things. I can't hide anything from you. I beg you, my little one. Otherwise, my life may not be guaranteed!" His posture at this time was already very low.

Know things like God...

Yali felt happy - I have to say, he was right in flattering her.

#Get out of the way, let me come (in the physical sense)! #

To a certain extent, it doesn't seem wrong to say that she knows things well.

She did not answer the other party, but raised her head. Her deep starry eyes seemed to span the endless space, penetrate the blue sky and white clouds, and see the stars in the distant sky.

The captain saw that the other party did not reply for a long time, but looked up at the sky, full of doubts in his heart.

After a while, Yali looked away, turned around without saying a word, and walked towards the past life Liuli.

Just as the captain was about to say something, Yali's light words came: "You don't have to think so much. At least so far, you have no signs of dying."

What?

The captain was dumbfounded when he heard the other party's speech, which was like a magic stick. However, he did not dare to ask more questions and just assumed that the other party agreed not to spread the matter.

"By the way, you can report this matter to the authorities, and you can add more fuel to the matter as you like - I'm in the Mage Association."

Before the captain could react, Yali and his party disappeared at the end of the avenue, and that direction was where the Mage Association was located.

So fast!

Thinking of what the other party had just said, the captain couldn't help but shuddered fiercely, secretly thinking that he had saved a small life.

He originally planned to add fuel to the fire, but now he has given up the idea, otherwise he might die without knowing how.

Since the other party dared to talk like this, he must have his own confidence, and he was probably well-established in the Mage Association.

At least it's not something he can afford to offend.

......

"Xiaoya, what should we do now?"

On the way, Shi Liuli asked Yali, and on both sides were the two sisters who put on their hoods again.

"... Go to the Mage Association to settle down for a while. Now the whole city is under martial law. Besides, Duke Brinis was assassinated. I'm afraid the martial law will not be lifted in a short time."

Yali seemed a little uncomfortable with being called "Xiaoya" by Shi Liuli, let alone in front of her students.

"Eh--"

Hearing that he was going to stay here for a while, Shi Liuli screamed in dissatisfaction.

Beiming Youyu glanced at his teacher with smiles in his eyes, and then said to Shi Liuli:

"Stop making trouble. The only teleportation array here can lead to Beiguan nearby. It seems we can only wait."

"Hmm...how long will it take for you to feel better?"

"Is Liuli in a hurry to go? The Arctic Icefield." Beiming Youyu turned his face to Shi Liuli with a questioning look in his eyes.

Before Shi Liuli could answer, Beiming Youyu continued:

"How about I try to negotiate with the other party - Teacher, what do you think?"

"It's not impossible. Let's see if the other party sells it to save the association's face."

Yali seems a little unoptimistic - you know, not everyone on the mainland is selling the face of the Mage Association, it is more about concessions on the level of interests.

Seeing that he seemed to be causing trouble for the two of them, Shi Liuli quickly waved his hand and denied:

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm just asking."

I understand, sister Xiaoya

Beiming Youyu blinked his lavender eyes, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

"No rush, really no rush. It would be better to say that I am now interested in the so-called 'monster'."

Shi Liuli shook his head and said that he didn't say that because he didn't want to trouble the two of them.

"Ah...that 'monster'..." Yali couldn't help but glance at Cui'er, her face full of thinking.

If what the soldier captain said is correct, then it remains to be discussed whether the so-called 'monsters' in people's mouth are monsters.

It has similar characteristics to Tweety, so why is it considered a monster instead of a strong orc?

Maybe there is a reason why the other party is called a 'monster'? ——Yali thought

It seems that everything needs more information to deduce, otherwise it can only be guessed, and the next step they have to do is to collect information.

The source of this information is naturally the Mage Association.

"Xiaoya, does Duke Brinis have a high status?" Shi Liuli interrupted Yali's thoughts.

"Huh? Yes, there are only six dukes in the Vergar Empire. They are all very important figures in the empire. The six dukes basically involve most areas of the empire, including military, agriculture, economy, etc. It would be an understatement to say that his power is overwhelming.”

Yali paused, thinking that Shi Liuli might not have any idea of ​​how powerful the Duke was, so she added:

"If we want to make a comparison, the status of the Duke is equivalent to the status of the Grand Magister of our association - of course, just because the status is equivalent, it does not mean that the strength is the same."

"But they also have many followers around them. It is said that there are many in the [-]s and above. As for Linsheng, I don't know." Beiming Youyu also added.

"Roar--"

Shi Liuli couldn't help but exclaimed, as if she didn't expect the Duke to be so strong.

Even now that the mainland is in its prime, there are still very few powerful people in the [-]s. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are only one in a hundred thousand. And if there are quite a few of these dukes around, it is enough to prove how talented they are. Powerful.

Otherwise, there simply would not be enough benefits to attract a strong person of this level.

But the next moment, Shi Liuli seemed to realize something, and asked Yali again:

"Since the power of the Duke is so great, perhaps alone he is not afraid, but if they join together, they will probably overthrow the entire empire, right? Isn't the emperor of this empire worried?"

"Huh? Liuli, are you serious?"

Unexpectedly, Yali laughed after hearing this. Her voice was gentle, soft, and ethereal, making people never tire of listening to it. However, Shi Liuli puffed up her cheeks, as if she was dissatisfied with Yali teasing her.

She asked herself that there seemed to be nothing wrong with her words!

The hands of several dukes have reached out to all major areas of the empire, and they also have a deep foundation of power. Even the emperor should be unable to sleep at night, right?

At this time, Beiming Youyu stretched out his slender green fingers and poked Shi Liuligu's round, soft face, as if there were little stars dancing in his eyes.

so soft~

She thought unconsciously.

Shi Liuli was stunned and saw the brilliance in Beiming Youyu's eyes. She wondered if she had guessed wrong before. In fact, Beiming Youyu didn't like children, but just liked cute things?

That's right, Shi Liuli doesn't shy away from saying she's cute!

"...! Sorry, please don't pay attention."

As if he noticed Shi Liuli's gaze, Beiming Youyu suddenly woke up, turned his face away, and walked to the front, seemingly feeling embarrassed.

The sharp-eyed Shi Liuli noticed that her earlobe turned pink, like a small cherry, and she couldn't help but want to put it in her mouth.

so cute!

This time it was Shi Liuli's turn to have stars in her eyes.

In her impression, Beiming Youyu was very cold, taciturn, and did things like this that were seriously inconsistent with her temperament. The huge contrast between this made her extremely cute.

Feeling that Shi Liuli's eyes were always on him, Beiming Youyu felt a little uncomfortable and changed the subject:

"Let me answer the question Liuli just asked."

"Huh? Oh, oh..."
