Xiao Zhi didn't have much impression of Diklat, he only vaguely remembered meeting him a few times in the trade area and hearing him report on his work. He was a person who didn't stand out and made mistakes, and belonged to a background figure with a low sense of presence.
He didn't recruit this person himself, but he was selected from among the undead when Hessen was recruiting more people. Unexpectedly, he was still a 25-year-old boy, and he has been working since his death. He is really experienced enough.
Don't even think about it, if Hessen is gone, as an undead, he is probably the next batch of targets for Blaise. Everyone understands the principle that the flying birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking. If Hesse is wiped out, Blaise will naturally not need an undead traitor.
After accepting the task, Tods gave Xiao Zhi the way to contact Ditlak, after which Xiao Zhi bid farewell to Tods and left from Blaise's headquarters.
He was not in a hurry to go back to deal with the traitor immediately, but looked around with other players, as if he was going to see what hidden rewards there were in Blaise's camp. People on the mainland have long been accustomed to the neurotic behavior of the Athanasi. In other words, in their eyes, this is the standard style of the Athanasi. If it is too normal, there is a problem.
It's a pity that no other Bryce executives came over to give him tasks, and it seemed that he couldn't get more clues.
After walking around enough, Xiao Zhi seemed to have finally remembered his hidden mission, put on his cloak and walked slowly towards Hessen.
The border of Hessen, a remote and desolate corner.
Xiao Zhi took out the crystal stone that Todd Si gave him, and tapped it lightly three times. After a while, the inside of the crystal stone suddenly became cloudy like a sandstorm, which meant that the other A man with a hedron responded to him.
Xiao Zhi put away the spar, pulled up his cloak and stood there waiting.
After a while, there was a rustling sound in the forest, and an undead in a black cloak quietly walked out of the bushes. He looked around cautiously first, then asked Xiao Zhi to take out the spar to confirm his identity, and finally beckoned to Xiao Zhi to follow him.
Looking at his series of actions, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but sigh, probably this is professional.
Can't compare, can't compare.
Diklat took Xiao Zhi into a carriage of the undead, and drove quietly along the path in the forest. He seemed to be very familiar with Hesse's route, and along the way he took areas that had no permanent residents and were not covered by the traffic network. Naturally, no one patrolled these locations.
Xiao Zhizai carefully wrote down the origin, and after a while he was going to arrange for someone to plug this defensive loophole.
In order to keep quiet, the two of them walked forward in silence without saying a word.
Finally, I came to the place where I can vaguely see the Muscle Palace.
The carriage stopped slowly, and Diklat said in a low voice: "I can only take you here, and further ahead is the area frequented by Hessian lords and knight commanders. Their routes are irregular, and you need to dodge."
Xiao Zhi asked: "Can you go a little further, it's quite far from here."
After finishing speaking, he stuffed Diklat with a small bag of gold shells in a very polite manner, all of which were in large denominations.
Diklat accepted the money decisively, weighed it in his hand and accepted it, but hesitantly said: "No, the target of the undead carriage is too big, if you accidentally bump into a knight commander level, you won't be able to escape at all." The smaller the target, the safer it is."
As soon as Xiao Zhi heard that there was something in his words, he quickly stuffed another bag of gold shells for him: "I see that you are very skilled in walking all the way, and you have brought many people here? You must know which way to go through Right? Everyone is here to make money, and I won't make things difficult for you, just tell me, maybe we can cooperate next time."
Perhaps it was because of his money ability. After Diklat accepted the pack of gold shells, his tone softened a lot: "Hey, I didn't bring anyone with me, and you were the first one. But... I found this out after a long time of exploration." Only I know how to get there, so if you ask me, you are right."
He opened the curtain of the carriage, pointed his finger in one direction, Xiao Zhi followed his finger to look over, and saw only an ordinary forest.
Diklat said: "See, there is a very tall tree with long branches that allow you to reach the tree over there. I have carved marks on the branches for how to go. You can stay on top of the tree as you walk along, and it's hard to be seen under the cover of trees."
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but applaud him. Krypton gold can really become stronger, even in the world six hundred years later, it is still the same truth. The treatment of krypton gold is really different, and it also has guidance, which is simply too caring .
If it wasn't for the fact that this person is a sophomore, Xiao Zhi really wanted to praise him as a young genius.
Xiao Zhi continued his efforts, and boldly stuffed another bag of gold shells: "Is there any more? Can you tell me how to find the regent after approaching?"
"I really don't know about this..." Diklat said, but quickly put Jin Bei into the storage ring, as if he was afraid that Xiao Zhi would go back on his word.
Then he said slowly. "The regent's whereabouts are usually unpredictable. Whether you can meet him depends on luck. If you can stay guard in the lord's room, you may be able to see him."
Diklat smiled: "However, then you will face the Lord of Hesse head-on, I don't recommend you to do this hahahaha—"
His laughter got stuck in the middle, because a gorgeous magic staff hit his forehead. Although he was dead, he didn't know if it was due to psychological effects, but he actually felt cold.
"You you you you... what do you want? I told you everything!" Diklat said hastily.
Xiao Zhi looked at his expression and asked in a low voice: "Really?"
Diklat nodded hurriedly: "Really! I really told you everything!"
Xiao Zhi looked at his expression, trying to tell whether this guy was lying or not.
Diklat's heart turned cold when he saw it. He knew that this man was a fire mage who could fight against bone dragons alone. If someone who was unhappy gave him a few blows, he, a fragile civil servant, would really bid farewell to this world. Oh, he still has so much money that he hasn't spent, how can he die!
With an idea, he thought he had figured out the key to the problem, and said quickly, "Why don't I refund half of the last bag of gold shells? We all use money to do things, so there's no need to embarrass each other, right?"
Xiao Zhi showed a smile, such a money-greedy guy was willing to pay back the money, it seems that there is really no stock: "What is half of it? I want it all."
Diklat's eyes widened. There is such a brazen person in this world? ! It seems that he still underestimated the shamelessness of the Asanasi people! ! !
Immediately afterwards, he watched helplessly as the person in front of him took out a small bone flute with his empty hand and blew it lightly, but there was no sound.
This is the flute that Frost gave to Xiao Zhi. It is used to summon Alifa. No matter where it is, as long as it is blown, Alifa can hear the news.
Soon, a gust of wind blew up in the forest, and with the sound of trees breaking, a huge white bone dragon appeared in front of the two of them. Xiao Zhi left the carriage with Diklat in one hand, and walked towards Alifa who opened his mouth happily.
Diklat screamed: "Wait, wait, wait, wait, can't I pay back the money? Not only can I return all of it to you, but I can-"
Xiao Zhi ignored his frightened and shocked eyes, and stuffed him into Alifa's mouth.
"Goo..." Alifa expressed disgust, what kind of stuff is this, it doesn't taste good.
Xiao Zhi patted its big head: "This is not food, give this guy to Milton, and I will tell him what to do."
"Gu~" Alifa rubbed against Xiao Zhi coquettishly, then flapped his wings obediently, and delivered a courier to Milton.
Diklat, who was locked in Alifa's big mouth, was still in shock and bewilderment, feeling that the whole world had become unreal.
Why did Blaise arrange for someone to point a staff at him? Why can that person attract bone dragons? Why did he do this? Is he also a twenty-five boy
Also... obviously better than myself...
Xiao Zhi changed back to the regent's attire, and while sending a message to Milton, he continued to ride the carriage of the undead and returned to the Hall of Bones with great fanfare.
At this time, the cooperation negotiations with Changyue Desert have ended.
Under Tutaqiang's lead, Teague and Milton reached a perfect cooperation agreement, and they will work together in the subsequent battle against Blaise. If there are orc warriors who are transformed into undead after the battle, they will also receive preferential treatment from Hesse.
After one night, the interrogation against Diklat also came to a conclusion.
He became an undead after his death three years ago, and then joined Hesse. He was an ordinary existence for a long time. It wasn't until he passed the assessment of the administrative officer that he quietly got in touch with Blaise again. He usually passed on the news according to the request of the other party and was responsible for responding to the people sent by the other party. It was only recently.
According to Diklat’s confession, there are two other people like him, one from a certain tribe in the Changyue Desert, and the other from Sita, a small country near Brace, who had secretly had contacts with Brace during his lifetime.
Xiao Zhi asked: "Can you confirm that what he said is the truth?"
"I arrested the other two people together, used 27 sets of interrogation methods, and finally compared the interrogation results repeatedly to confirm that what they said was true." Milton's tone was gentle, without a trace of fireworks. "They are all willing to use the truth in exchange for an earlier relief."
Xiao Zhi looked at Milton's calm face and his aristocratic temperament, but he didn't expect that this man was actually a ruthless person. However, it is normal for a person who can roam the mainland for hundreds of years alone as an undead to seek restoration of the country, not a soft-hearted guy.
Fewer traitors were found than expected, which is good news.
It probably has to meet the harsh conditions of flirting with Blaise during his lifetime and becoming an undead after death. Even if Blaise has hidden people in various countries on the mainland, few of them can successfully sneak into Hesse.
After that, Xiao Zhi began to discuss with Milton how to deal with the defense loopholes left by the traitors.
Chiba Kingdom, the top of the king tree.
In the vast hall, King Qianye stood on the observation deck, looking in a certain direction alone.
After a while, he asked in a low voice, "He left?"
The chief valet beside him replied: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led a team of red kites to Hesse quietly."
King Qianye didn't speak, his green eyes looked at the unknown distance, the breeze gently blew his gray-green long hair and the branches and leaves at his temples, but no emotion could be seen on his handsome face.
The attendant asked: "You seem a little worried, do you need me to go and bring His Royal Highness back?"
Chiba Kingdom has always maintained neutrality, and what the crown prince is doing at this moment is obviously breaking the long-standing rules.
King Qianye shook his head: "This is Xiaowu's own choice, he needs to bear the consequences by himself, he will become the king of Qianye Kingdom one day, it's time to learn to grow..."
Hesse.
A neat formation suddenly crossed the gloomy sky. It was a group of very large birds with reddish-brown feathers. They formed a neat formation in the air and were heading towards the area where Hesse and Blaise fought. come.
Startled by such movement, many people looked towards them.
Soon, the team fell to the ground.
A young man jumped off the bird's back, followed by a series of people in exquisite battle armor. From their appearance, it could be seen that they were a group of wood spirits.
Everyone wondered, what is the wood spirit clan doing here
After Xiao Zhi received the news, he hurriedly stopped discussing with Milton, and headed towards the direction where the Wood Spirit Clan appeared.
The head of the young man had a tender green leaf on his head. He looked about 14 or 15 years old, with some baby fat on his face, and many plant features on his body, full of the vigor of a young man.
At first glance, everyone didn't recognize who the boy was, but felt that the pair of eyes similar to those of King Qianye were very familiar, until they caught a glimpse of the pink-haired girl standing next to the boy.
Isn't this Ina? Ina is the chief female officer next to Qianyewu. She is very frequent in foreign trade, so many people know her.
Could it be that this boy is Qianyewu? !
Xiaoqingcai has finally become refined
The boy is indeed Qianyewu. After a long childhood, he finally entered the juvenile stage. During this period, he will slowly change his appearance until he is mostly human like his father, but that is a long, long time later. thing.
He said to the girl beside him, "Yina, do you think it's risky for me to do this?"
Yi Na replied: "His Royal Highness just needs to strengthen his heart."
Qianyewu looked at his weak hand: "I think Blaise's behavior must be stopped. Although the two countries are far apart, Blaise can't hit us in a short time. I also know the biggest disadvantage of the wood spirit clan It just grows slowly, and once there are casualties, the situation will continue to be unfavorable to us, so the father will remain neutral for a long time and will not participate in any disputes."
"But if they are allowed to defeat Hesse, Dolly Alliance, Changyue Desert and other small countries, it will definitely be Chiba's turn in the end. With such weapons, we simply don't have the power to fight alone."
He looked at the Hessen fortifications in front of him: "We need to cooperate. This is not only to help Hesse, but also for the safety of Chiba."
Ina listened with a smile on her face, nodding her head now and then.
Qianyewu said: "Sorry, I'm going to take you on an adventure. This time I came here in a private name and has nothing to do with Qianye Kingdom, so I can't count on my father's support."
Yi Na turned serious: "From the day I swore allegiance to you, I am ready to die for you."
Qianyewu smiled: "It seems that I have to work harder, and I can't let my subordinates sacrifice."
At this time, Teague, who happened to be nearby, came over. As a diplomat, he naturally knew Qianyewu. Although he had never met him formally, Teague had long been familiar with important figures from various countries in the mainland.
He saluted Qianyewu: "Hello, His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Qianye, I am Diplomat Teague, I wonder what you are doing here in Hesse?"
Qianyewu said decently: "I'm here to support Hessen in my own name this time."
The two had a harmonious and friendly exchange. Teague was originally a person who was good at observing words and deeds. With the training of being a liar all the year round, and the recent expansion of his horizons by becoming a diplomat, he soon chatted and laughed with Qianyewu.
While chatting, Qianyewu suddenly stared at Teague's face.
Teague's smile was a little puzzled: "Excuse me, is there anything wrong with me?"
Qianyewu lowered his voice: "That...Mr. Diplomat, I seem to have seen your magic image in a book."
Teague: "What book?"
Qianyewu: ""Underwater Photo of Hundred Male Gods of the Xiyue Clan"."
Teague showed a clear expression, and his smile was more gentle: "Ah, I did take pictures of that before I was alive, and there are many series. If you like it, I have a set of distinguished and limited autographed editions that I can give to Your Highness."
"Wow..." Qianyewu was a little excited.
Xiao Zhi who just rushed over and overheard the conversation: "..."
Did Teague not only persuade people to go to sea, but even himself? !
Teague continued to increase: "I also have a customized service here. I can create an exclusive crown prince-level noble gift box for you. There are a lot of unpublished content in it. Exclusive customization, this is the only one."
Qianyewu's eyes shone brightly.
Yi Na looked at her Highness with complicated eyes. Your Highness is really a good Highness, and his hobbies are really unique...
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Is it really okay to let these two know each other
