Chapter 249 Conspiracy
Just as everyone was discussing the old man, there was a discussion from a table of diners in the distance.
"Adrien, why didn't you come back early to sign up for this martial arts competition? Don't you often say that you are invincible all over the world? A young man who seemed to be classified as an embroidered pillow said.
"Do you think I don't want to sign up? He's not that shameless guy. In order to prevent those martial artists who meet the registration requirements from returning to the city to sign up, he really does everything!" Speaking of the fact that he returned to King City three days late and missed the registration time, so he had nothing to do with the martial arts competition, the young man named Adrian was furious.
"Thus, why did you arrive in Wangcheng three days late?" His companion asked curiously.
They all know that Adrian returned to King City late because of the obstruction on the road, but they have never heard him mention what he encountered on the return trip.
"Well, it's all my fault for being greedy. I was able to go back to the city at the end of the mission ten days ago. However, when the adventurer's guild handed over the task at that time, I saw a task, which required to provide a complete wind fox skin. The task is very simple and the remuneration is extremely high, but his limit is very strange. The adventurer who takes over the task must be between the ages of 20 and 40. This task is not difficult to complete. Any experienced adventurer can easily complete it, but it takes four days to go back and forth in the activity area of the wind fox. At that time, in view of the generous reward, I took over the task. In only four and a half days, I successfully completed the task. When I handed over the task and wanted to return to the lower city of the king by transmitting the magic array, I was told that the magic array was suspended due to maintenance, and it would take seven days to open again. At this time, I feel that there is something wrong with the situation. Speaking of the moment of greed at that time, Adrian regretted it.
"When I wanted to rent a mount at the post station and prepare to directly cross the sandstorm area, I was told that because the sandstorm was too large, the mount could not be lent for safety. I'm sure that this must be that guy's conspiracy! And the previous strange task must have been a step in his plan. Even in the case of extreme resentment, he still dares not call his name for the guy in his mouth, which shows his ** prestige.
"Then how can you come back now?" His companion asked strangely. Adrian just said that in that city, he could neither use the magic array to teleport back nor rent a mount, but now he has returned to the royal city. Isn't that contradictory?
"I was able to return to Wangcheng Xiacheng in the motorcade of the caravan. Moreover, on the way, our caravan was also attacked. The attackers came and went like the wind. They were extremely familiar with the environment of the sandstorm area and specially intercepted the young adventurers. Young adventurers who were intercepted can be seen everywhere on the way. After my analysis, this must also be a poisonous hand under his order. If my caravan guards weren't strong enough, maybe I would have explained it in that wind and sand area. Speaking of this, Adrian was still afraid for a while.
"This is not over yet. When it was transmitted from the lower city of the royal city to the royal city, they also set up obstacles. Even if I had the latest pass issued by the royal city, it was still stopped by them. It took half a day to allow me to teleport back to the royal city. It is even more difficult for other residents who are not the royal city to come up. Thinking of everything he met along the way, it was obvious that the guy he was talking about was really determined to win this martial arts competition.
"Forget it, it's not a bad thing that you didn't sign up. You didn't see that the competition in the past two days is terrible. When they meet on stage, they are like having a deep blood feud, which is simply endless. Many people didn't come down alive after entering the ring. In the past two days, the number of casualties in the ring is that all the casualties in the competition in the ten years of the royal city are not comparable. A companion comforted Adrian and said.
"That's natural. All those who can obstruct the prince will be eradicated. Nine out of ten people who can stay in the ring are bought by him. Just wait for a random water at the last moment, he can become a righteous champion, and naturally he can get both rights." A short middle-aged man at their table said.
"You mean that he did something in the game?" A few people were immediately excited when they heard the short middle-aged man's words.
The residents of Wangcheng are martial by nature. No one will accuse you of using any means under the ring, but once there is any cheating in the ring, it is intolerable for them.
How is that possible! Doesn't he know that this is a violation of the regulations on the freedom of competition in Wangcheng!" Some people questioned it.
Regulations? Which do you think is more important, the law or the queen's son-in-law? The short middle-aged man snorted coldly.
As soon as this word came out, there was silence around. Obviously, they had partially recognized the saying of the short and middle-aged people in their hearts.
"Do you have any evidence that all this you said is true? How do you know that you are not sovoking discord here? A tall diner asked.
Evidence? Of course I have the evidence. However, I'm afraid you dare not take it." The short middle-aged man secretly glanced at the old man in the dark corner with his eyes.
This small action was not noticed by others, but Ling Hao did not let it go. His heart moved.
"Are they in the group to prevent Alvis from winning the martial arts competition? It seems that they should be the subordinates of the great enemy of Lixi. Ling Hao estimated the identity of the two, and already had a general concept in his mind.
"If there is anything we dare not, just take it out." The tall dian said, but with a little attention, you can find that his eyes are wandering around, with a restless look.
"Then listen carefully." The short middle-aged man took out a fist-sized yellow crystal from his arms and put it on the table.
Seeing that everyone's attention in the tavern was focused on himself, a relaxed look appeared on the face of the short middle-aged man. He entered a trace of mental strength into the sound crystal on the table and immediately activated it.
"I have some small things to ask for your help. I hope you can help me." A young man's voice came from the crystal.
"In the game, I hope you can show mercy when you enter the finals and meet me. If everything goes wrong, there will be a lot of thanks. What do you think? The voice continued.
Hearing this, almost all the people present showed disgust on their faces.
After a moment of silence, another sound came from the crystal.
"Please forgive me. It's difficult to obey this matter. I'll leave first."
"Pardwin! This voice is from Bai Dewen. When Adrian heard the sound, he suddenly shouted. The owner of the voice was an excellent adventurer, and none of the adventurers in the royal city did not know him. Because he is upright and helpful, he has a high reputation among adventurers and is known as the next candidate for the adventurer guild in Kamikaze Chiman.
It's a pity that such a person was found murdered in his own home two days ago.
Hearing Patten's voice in the crystal, and then contacting his recent murder, everyone suddenly thought of something.
Sure enough, after the sound of closing the door came from the crystal, there was a word as light as an mosquito.
"Follow him, don't let him talk nonsense, let him shut up forever."
Although everyone did not witness it on the spot, they had already imagined the situation at that time.
Bai Dewen disdained to get along with the prince and resolutely refused and left first. In order not to expose the matter and give others a downbeat, the prince brazenly ordered the killing of Padwin, so that the subsequent killing of Padwin at home happened.
"How can we be the opponent of the prince? If we meet the prince in the ring, we will naturally not be your opponent." A hoarse voice sounded. Although the words were full of humility, it was extremely reluctant for people to hear it.
"Yes, your strength will naturally not be the opponent of the prince. Where does it start to help?" Another voice followed.
After that voice, several voices echoed. The words were full of self-humility, but the unwillingness could be easily detected.
Obviously, the method of killing chickens and horting monkeys works well. In the choice of life and death, these contestants chose to live one after another.
"Thank you very much. After everything is done, you will definitely get a satisfactory return." The young man's voice sounded, "I won't see you off. Take your time."
There was a sound of footsteps leaving from the crystal, and finally everything fell silent.
At this point, it is obviously the end of a transaction negotiation process, and the tavern is also full of hatred, sadness and anger.
"They all agreed to such a deal!" A diner sighed sadly. He has heard the voices of several contestants who are currently rated as the most popular to win the championship, and he once regarded them as his idols and role models.
"What a shame of the king's city! How can such a person become the queen's son-in-law! I must expose such a scum." The tall dian who had previously asked for evidence suddenly stood up, walked to the short middle-aged man, and grabbed the lyretained crystal and said loudly.
Just now, when listening to the sound, Ling Hao saw that this person was a little different. Others were absorbed in listening to the sound from the crystal, and his eyes always wandered around, as if he were looking for something. Now the target is put on the linguous crystal, and his identity is suddenly revealed.
"The crystal in your hand has no magic savings, and you can't release the sound left." The short middle-aged man was not in a hurry when he saw the diinner holding the crystal in his hand. He sat firmly in the chair and said leisurely.
Hearing that the crystal in his hand was already a waste, the tall diva's face suddenly turned red and blue.
He is one of the spies Arvis arranged in the royal city. When he found this sound-retention crystal, he knew that it was a great achievement. As long as he could give the crystal to the prince, he would definitely get a rich reward.
For this reason, he pretended to be indignant and wanted to expose Alves's conspiracy and take the lead in controlling the sound crystal. However, before he was happy, the words of the short middle-aged man cooled his heart again.
"Since this brother is so righteous! Brother Yu, there is still a sound crystal here, so I will give it to my brother. Let's contact the conspiracy against dictatorship together. The short middle-aged man didn't seem to see through the identity of the dian, and gave him a lingu number crystal. Invite him to publicize together.
The spy's face at this time can be said to be really wonderful.
He hopes to get the lyretained crystal, but he prefers to get the authentic original than a disposable replica.
"Brother, let's act separately. Brother Yu went to other places to contact people with aspirations, and then he took a step first. Before the spy recovered, the short middle-aged man had left the tavern.
Seeing Ling Hao's signal, Li Qiang pretended to be fine and walked out of the tavern and followed the short middle-aged man from afar.
