The handsome bonesmith didn't continue to embarrass Yan Mo, it's not that he was easy to talk to, but he didn't think it was necessary to argue with a hornless slave.
As for this bone vessel that is likely to be above level nine, although he is curious, the appearance is really not very beautiful, and it does not meet the aesthetics of horned people at all, especially not his. He likes all beautiful things, For this appliance, which is likely to be practical at first glance, I am just curious about its use.
And if he wanted to know the purpose of this bone vessel, he only had to wait two more days.
"I'm Hope. Go back and tell your master my name. Tell him that I appreciate his hard work. If you are interested, he is welcome to come to our house as a guest."
Hope didn't say his full name, nor where he lived, Yan Mo thought: The other party probably felt that saying his name already represented everything.
Hope asked Yan Mo if he wanted to live in the unified residence arranged by the competition according to the rules.
"If you don't want to go in, do you have to leave the bones?" Yan Mo asked.
Hope laughed, "No need, that was in previous years. Now the function of testing bone tools has been further improved, and it will record everything that has been tested. You can take the bone tools away, or you don't need to live in the unified residence. , you just need to bring the bones that passed the initial test."
After careful consideration, Yan Mo decided not to change the residence. The unified residence arranged by the competition sounds good, but there will inevitably be too many people, and their every move will be in the eyes of those who care, so it is better to stay in the temple and feel at ease. What's more, he doesn't feel at ease separating from Xingliu and others.
When the two left, they didn't notice that many people in the hall looked at them quite complicatedly. The Hornless Man who had laughed at him before and everyone he knew also shut their mouths.
For the next two days, everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan also visited the other two cities in the past two days. If it wasn't for the lack of time, they would also like to visit the Wangcheng on the top of the mountain, but they said they were shopping in Xuanyu City.
However, on the night before the competition, they went back to the temple very early, because they didn't know what would happen in the competition, so they didn't dare to worry about it, and they both planned to rest early that night to recharge their batteries.
But as soon as the two of them entered the gate of the small courtyard, they heard Jiufeng's screaming.
Jiu Feng turned into a bird and landed on top of Yan Mo's head, happily calling: "Mo Mo, I'll show you something nice, in your room, he's so fun!"
Compared with Jiu Feng's excitement, the faces of Xing Liu, Cang Qi and the others who were also talking in the courtyard were not very good-looking.
Yan Mo didn't pay attention to the expressions of Xingliu and the others. Hearing Jiufeng's cry, his heart trembled, and his secret path was not good, so he immediately quickened his pace and walked to his room.
As soon as the door was pushed open, Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan had just seen the extra "things" in the house, and Yan Mo turned around and closed the door.
Jiufeng screamed and flew to the little white-horned man's head, grinding his little horns with his curved beak.
The little white-horned man sat on the ground dumbfounded, allowing Jiufeng to "bully" him.
The corners of Yan Mo's eyes twitched, "Jiufeng, you...how did you bring him back?"
Yan Mo's heartfelt voice: My dear, I told you clearly at the beginning, I only watched them to see what strange behavior they have, and don't startle them for the time being, why did you steal them back
Jiufeng jumped down and turned into a little doll before landing. He threw himself on Yan Mo's thigh and raised his head, "Because he doesn't want to stay there, he wants to go out to play, so I'll take him out to play."
After all, Xiao Baijiao is a child. Seeing that the little bird he had been with for the past few days turned into a milk doll much smaller than him in an instant, his eyes widened immediately, but he soon restrained himself. own expression.
Yan Mo was only focused on talking to Jiu Feng, and didn't see the change in Xiao Baijiao's expression, but Yuan Zhan saw Xiao Baijiao's every move.
Wu Guo suddenly groaned, "Another brat!"
Because Yan Mo often called "little devil head, little devil head", he also learned this word.
The buds on the top of Dudu's head pushed up, as if he also wanted to see the new kid outside.
But Wu Guo knocked him down immediately, and yelled at him fiercely: "Sleep! Don't move around."
Dudu yawned, and actually fell asleep again.
The two fathers smiled.
Yan Mo came back to his senses and rubbed Jiu Feng's head with a headache, "Did anyone see you when you brought him out?"
"No! How could those two-legged monsters see me? A gust of wind blinded them." Jiufeng was still used to talking about two-legged monsters when he was excited.
"Then you bring him back, has anyone seen it?"
Jiu Feng tilted his head, "Mo Mo, I'm very smart, I won't be caught so stupid. But when they entered the yard, Xing Liu and the others saw it."
Yan Mo smiled and praised him, "Yes, you are the smartest. I'll take care of Xing Liu."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhan immediately turned around and opened the door to go out.
Yan Mo held Jiufeng's little paw and walked towards Xiaobaijiao, squatted down, and looked at him, "Hello, I'm Yan Mo, what's your name?"
Jiu Feng: "His name is Su Men, he can pretend, he doesn't talk to anyone else, he only talks to me!"
Little Baijiao: "..."
Yan Mo burst out laughing.
The kid held back for a while but still couldn't hold back, two words came out of his little mouth: "Traitor!"
Yan Mo laughed loudly, and stretched out his hands to rub the heads of the two children, "Get up, don't sit on the ground, even in summer, the ground is still very cold."
Yan Mo picked up the two children, sent them to the bed and sat down.
Xiao Baijiao is very well-behaved and doesn't struggle when being hugged.
An adult and two children sit opposite each other in a triangle.
"Sumen, can I call you that?" Yan Mo, who raised a son, is still very good at children.
Sumen nodded.
"Well, do you want to go back? If you want to go back, I can ask Jiufeng to take you back."
Su Men didn't nod or shake his head, just looked at Yan Mo with wide eyes.
Yan Mo looked at the little white horns on his head, and when he thought about the origin of this child, he always had a feeling that he had been hit by fate, but he still needed to observe this child for a while.
Although this child looks relatively young, his real age should be nine years old. However, most nine-year-old children have developed their personalities and have their own preliminary worldview. And not all children are innocent and kind, he has no way of distinguishing them, he can only learn from getting along slowly.
"I know you, he always talks about you, silently like this, silently like that." Xiao Baijiao said these words suddenly, and closed his mouth tightly again.
Yan Mo felt a little weird, is the kid jealous
"Then do you want to stay and play with Jiufeng?"
Xiao Baijiao looked at Jiu Feng, Jiu Feng rolled over to hug him, stretched out his claws to pinch his little face.
Xiao Baijiao was stunned for a moment, and then pinched it back with his backhand. Although the little bird is gone, is this fat doll fun to hold
The two little guys pinched back and forth, Jiufeng would make a strange duck-like smile from time to time, but little Baijiao was very silent, and the two of them rolled into a pile in the end.
Uncle Mo, an adult who was completely ignored: "..."
It's not that Xiao Baijiao can't communicate, but he obviously refuses to communicate with him. Yan Mo thought for a while, then patted the two children, "Play first, I'll get you something to eat."
Since the child doesn't want to talk, he just waits.
Just as Yan Mo was putting food and water on the table, there was a sudden quarrel outside.
Yan Mo wondered why Yuan Zhan failed to deal with them, put down the food, and after asking Jiu Feng to enjoy it with the children, he also opened the door and went out to have a look.
Seeing Yan Mo come out, Cang Qi immediately aimed at him and shouted angrily: "It's all you! Look at the good deeds you have done!"
"What's going on?" Yan Mo turned to Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan was about to explain, but Xing Liu had already grabbed the conversation, "You two, you have been wandering around the city for the past two days, haven't you heard about the deportation of the hornless man in the lower city, and the arrest of the child of the hornless man?"
Yan Mo really didn't pay attention to the affairs in Xuanyu City, "Can you tell me the details? I didn't pay much attention."
Cang Qi let out a cold snort, and said in a strange way: "You just remember to curry favor with those nobles with horns, right? It's disgusting, I thought you were really thinking about us hornless people, but in fact, you are just like those horned people!"
Yan Mo was reprimanded for no reason, he didn't bother to pay attention to Cang Qi, and only looked at Xing Liu.
Xing Liu explained the reason, "Because of the devil boy. It is said that one of the horned nobles who was robbed by the devil boy before the monster died, and now the devil boy is being arrested everywhere in the city. The city lord and the people in the city guard suspect that the devil boy Tong was hidden in the lower city, and the people in the lower city were forced to hand over the demon boy. If not, ten Wujiao families would be driven out of the city every day, and their children would be kept. Now, this situation has lasted for three days. The Hornless are in a mess."
Yan Mo was funny, the wild beast that was eaten as food at first turned into a monster, and Jiu Feng was also named as a devil boy.
It's funny, but this city lord's methods are vicious and effective. If Jiufeng was really hiding in the lower city, he would either have been forced to jump out by himself, or he would have been reported.
"Do you think Jiu Feng is that devil boy?" Yan Mo looked at the people in the courtyard, they were all in a row, and some who heard the quarrel also came out of the room.
Only the setting sun and Houshi were not there, Qi Hongzhi silently walked behind Yan Mo, and the old man He sat cross-legged on the side, nibbling nuts.
Cang Qi choked: "Isn't it? And I saw him bring back a white-horned child today! What does he want to do? Want to attract horned men to capture and kill us all!"
"Can you lower your voice? I wish others could hear you, right?" Yan Mo's face also turned cold.
Cang Qi still wanted to scream, but the mouth suddenly spewed out mud, choking him to his knees immediately, vomiting out continuously.
The faces of Xingliu and the others also changed, Fei Zhang, one of the bone craftsmen, frowned, "Even if Cang Qi's voice was a little louder, there's no need to treat him like this? Besides, he was right. Who is that child with white horns? Why did you bring it back? Does his family know about it? There is also the matter of the devil boy outside, how are you going to solve it?"
"You guys?" Yan Mo chuckled, and his heart was a little cold. Although he wanted to use these hornless people to deal with the horned people, and solve the crisis in the Eastern Continent by dredging from the bottom of the pot, he wanted to help this side. The hornless man's thoughts were also true, but even though these people had been with him for a while, they still separated the three of them from themselves in their hearts.
Yan Mo looked around the crowd, "Even if Jiu Feng is a devil boy, what did he do wrong? How are you going to solve this matter?"
Xingliu wanted to speak, but was held down by Fei Zhang, "It's not that we have any plans. We don't talk about other things. The matter was caused by Lord Jiufeng. He is so powerful. Those hornless people in the lower city have no special abilities. Those children Even more innocent, I think Master Jiufeng must have a way to solve this matter, right?"
Yan Mo took a deep look at Fei Zhang, "You are right, I will solve this matter. Are there any other problems?"
"That white-horned kid..."
"My lord!" Xiyang and Houshi ran over from the backyard door, and they ran very fast.
Hou Shi didn't pay attention to the atmosphere at the scene at all, Xiyang closed his mouth as soon as he called out the word "adult", and his pace slowed down.
Houshi looked at the sunset and didn't say anything, he rushed over and said: "My lord, it's too bad! I don't know who spread the news that the devil boy is here, and now there are many hornless men and people from the city guards to come here. We rushed over here, and we ran back when we saw something was wrong. My lord, what do you think we should do?"
How to do? Let's do the ceremony first and then the soldiers!
Soon, Zhong Shenshi got the news and came over.
The old god attendant was worried, "There are a lot of people here. It seems that there are about two or three hundred people. Including the people from the city guard, this matter may not be easy to solve. Yan Mo, I heard that Prince Buhua intends to recruit you? Can you Ask him to come forward... no, just ask some important officials in his house to come forward."
Yan Mo didn't want to owe Bu Hua a favor, it could be said that it was a fair deal, but if he asked Bu Hua to come forward, it would be another matter.
"You don't have to worry Zhongshen, we will take care of the matter." Yan Mo comforted him, and walked towards the gate with Yuan Zhan.
The noise from outside has already spread into the temple.
Yan Mo asked Qi Hongzhi and Houshi to accompany Jiufeng and Xiaobaijiao, and told them not to show up easily. For some reason, the others all followed.
The gate had been blocked, and two or three hundred people didn't sound like much, but when they gathered around the gate, coupled with the excitement of the crowd, it seemed very oppressive.
The people from the city guard station stood outside, as if watching the excitement.
Xing Liu, who turned into a boy with white horns, did not want to face the questioning of the crowd, and refused to stand in the front. Yan Mo didn't need him either.
Yan Mo stood on the steps and looked down at the crowd, Yuan Zhan stood beside him like a mountain.
When the hornless people below saw the suspected party coming out, their clamor suddenly became louder.
Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan just looked at them and didn't speak.
The clamor below was raised again, all asking them to hand over the devil boy.
But because Yan Mo and the two of them didn't speak, Zhong Shenshi was stopped from saying anything, and the hornless people below probably realized that this time they encountered a hard stubble, and their clamor gradually subsided.
After a while, a middle-aged man came out from the crowd.
The man asked Yan Mo stiffly: "Are you guys with that devil boy? Hand over the devil boy!"
"What devil boy?" Yan Mo put a smile on his face habitually.
"It's the devil boy who hurt the horned noble, made trouble in the city, and stole the monster!" Someone shouted behind the man.
Yan Mo smiled lightly, and turned to look at the horned man who looked like the head of the city guard, "My lord, you also think so, do you think that devil boy is my child?"
The leader of the horned man chuckled, "We don't know what's going on, but we heard someone report that the devil boy is hiding here with you, so we'll just come and take a look."
In a word, Yan Mo understood the city guard's plan.
The people in the city guard must know that he is the person under the protection of Prince Buhua, but they dare not resist the order of the city lord. Neither side can be offended, so what can they do
Yan Mo would not believe it at all if the Hornless people's mass oppression did not have the hands and feet of the city guards today.
Most of the people in the City Guard want the Hornless Man to force the devil boy out by himself, and they will never do anything during this period.
In this way, if Prince Buhua asks questions in the future, they can completely say that they did not embarrass Yan Mo and others, and that the devil boy will be forced to come out or jump out and surrender himself. But for that.
As for the city lord's mansion, as long as they can catch the devil boy, the task will be considered complete, and the process is not important.
The city guards can't be used, so Yan Mo doesn't care about them anymore.
Seeing Yan Mo ignoring them, the middle-aged man probably felt neglected and insulted, so he said his request again with a livid face.
Yan Mo turned to look at the other party, "Who told you that my child is that devil boy?"
"Don't care who told us! Hurry up and hand over that devil boy to the adults of the city guard, let them take it back to show those nobles, if not, they will naturally send it back to you!" the middle-aged man said. said impatiently.
If it was before, Yan Mo didn't mind taking Jiu Feng around for a while, and then using his willpower to make the other party not recognize Jiu Feng, but now he can be 100% sure that there is someone behind him who wants to punish him, maybe The bone maker who was rejected might be Duke Morton's political enemy, but no matter who it was, if he brought Jiu Feng there, Jiu Feng would not want to come back unless they showed their strength.
"I won't hand over my child. If those nobles want to have a look, then let them come here." Yan Mo raised his eyebrows, "I said you are also interesting, and the city lord's mansion ordered you not to hand over the demons. Tong is going to expel you and keep your children, you don’t resist this tyrant, but you come to trouble us, do you think we are better than the city lord?"
The hornless people gasped while being angry, Yan Mo's statement was definitely considered treasonous in Xuanyu City, he actually reprimanded the city lord as a tyrant in front of so many people, and even accused him of his actions.
Who doesn't know that the city lord is wrong, but who dares to say? Even if that person will not be the city lord next year, he will still be one of the big nobles. How can these little hornless people dare to offend such a big noble
But it is good for everyone to understand these words in their hearts, and it is ugly to say them.
But Yan Mo unceremoniously tore off this fig leaf.
"You, you! How bold! You condone the devil boy to commit murder, and now you dare to say that the city lord did something wrong. You... you are all to blame! If it wasn't for your devil boy, how could the city lord give such an order?" behind the middle-aged man The person who spoke again, this person didn't know whether he wanted to flatter the city lord, or he was afraid, so he simply pushed all the faults on Yan Mo.
"That's right, it's all your fault! If you don't let the devil boy mess around, how can we be implicated!"
"Yes! The city owner was forced by them! As long as we hand over the devil boy, our life will be restored, and our children will come back!"
"Hand over the devil boy!"
"Hand over the devil boy!" Two or three hundred people shouted in unison.
"Get them out of here!"
"Catch them! Hand them over to the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Rush in and grab them! Find the devil boy!"
"Come on, fight with them!"
Two or three hundred people started rushing forward with jealousy and thick necks, trying to rush into the temple because of the large number of people.
Zhong Shenshi was in a hurry and shouted desperately: "Everyone, calm down! Everyone, calm down!"
Yan Mo looked coldly at the crowd who were about to rush up, flipped his hand, and handed over an extra bone tool to Yuan Zhan, "Let them calm down."
Yuan Zhan took the bone vessel, turned his mind, understood, and immediately grinned his lips, showing his white teeth, "Understood."
Yuan Zhan raised the cylinder-like bone tool to point at the two or three hundred people under the steps, and made a movement of pressing the switch.
"puff!"
Thick water dragons sprayed from the bone vessels and sprayed towards the crowd.
Yuan Zhan grasped the bone vessel and swung it around. Wherever he swung, the water dragon would rush there.
"Ah! They have bone treasures!"
"My God! Help me!"
"Killer!"
Seeing that the situation was no longer under their control, the people of the city guard were about to make a move when the water dragon suddenly became bigger and rushed towards the crowd like a wave.
Hula la, the crowd was completely dispersed, and they were rushed to the ground.
The people from the city guard station who wanted to do something were stunned, but the higher-ups didn't tell them that this team had such a powerful bone treasure in their hands! What are they going to do now
Yuan Zhan put away the bone vessel and put it in his pocket casually, it will be his exclusive use from now on. Well, he will definitely try his best to bring out all the abilities of this "Tenth Level Bone Treasure" in the future!
