"This..." Sister Fang Fang, who was on the side, looked at them inquiringly.
"It's getting late." Gu Yue glanced at the sky, those officials were busy offering treasures to the city lord, and they seemed to be too lazy to care about them. "The matter has been resolved, let's rest first." Ying and the cook went upstairs and took away the food on the table.
The girl couldn't say anything else, so she turned around and found a free guest room to stay.
"Have you heard that last night, in Anshan on the other side of the river, a big hole suddenly appeared, dozens of feet wide."
"Why can't you see such a big hole? That thing appeared overnight, and it looked very flat, not artificial."
"It is rumored that last night, there were people who heard the sound of heaven descending from the heavens, and the sound was dreamlike and illusory, like a nine-day fairy song."
"So, that big hole is a miracle from heaven? A good omen!"
"Absolutely yes, otherwise who has the ability to cut through the mountain overnight and leave such a big hole? It can only be that a fairy came down last night!"
"Then we are not a lucky city."
Early in the morning, the streets and alleys of the whole city hated the big hole on the other side of the river that suddenly appeared in the middle of the night. And the more they talk about it, the more mysterious it is, some people even swear that they have seen immortals with their own eyes. For a while, the big hole became a miracle, and many people wanted to cross the river to burn incense and worship.
Lonely Moon: "…"
Shen Ying: "..."
Yi Qing: "..."
Well, in a way, it's really a godsend.
Taking advantage of the time to report the crime last night, Gu Yue actually did some research in the city, but the result was the same as before. This is a city of Van, it is no different from other places, and there is no other place that has anything to do with managers.
So he decided to go out of the city today to look around, and if he still didn't find it, he would go back to the plane and talk about it. Anyway, they are not particularly interested in this Da Dao meeting.
But just as they were about to leave the city, they were stopped by someone. They were still acquaintances. They brought someone to investigate the case last night, but they went along with the official messenger of the mermaid. This time he lost his domineering look before, with a kind smile on his face, "Several, the city lord is welcome!"
City Lord? Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, it must be for the merman, it seems that the official sent the merman to the city lord. After thinking about it, he didn't refuse, just nodded and followed the official.
In less than half a while, we arrived at the largest building in the city, the City Lord's Mansion. When someone came to report the crime last night, he just explained the situation at the door and went back. The three of them were invited all the way into the mansion and brought to a hall for receiving guests.
There was already a person sitting inside, and upon closer inspection it was the surviving girl from yesterday, who seemed to be called Fang Fang.
"Miss Shen, two young masters, why are you here?" Fang Fang also looked at the three of them in surprise.
"Miss Fang, why are you here?" Gu Yue asked. They left the inn separately early this morning. Didn't she say she wanted to go back to her hometown
"It was the official at the city gate who said that the city owner had ordered me to bring me here." Fang Fang replied.
It seems that all the insiders were called over, Gu Yue frowned, and the voice of the city owner came from outside the door. The next moment, I saw a middle-aged man hurriedly walked in. When he saw several people, his eyes lit up, and he stepped up and walked over excitedly.
"It's you who found the merman?"
Gu Yue and the cook looked at each other, then stepped forward and replied, "It's true that I was waiting to find out."
"Presumptuous!" As soon as he finished speaking, the person next to him suddenly scolded, "I see the city owner being rude?"
"Don't worry about this kind of rudeness." The city lord waved his hand, getting more and more excited, looked up and down at Gu Yue, then turned to look at Yi Qing next to him, and said with satisfaction, "You two are very skilled at first glance. No wonder the mercenaries who have always been cruel and charming can be caught."
"..." Actually, Shen Ying caught it.
The city lord became more and more enthusiastic about several people, and his eyes were full of curiosity, "I wonder if a few of you can tell me how you caught it?"
As soon as the lonely moon is blocked, it can't be said that Shen Ying first smashed a hole in the mountain and scared others to be fooled before catching it.
"We have all learned some boxing skills, and we met this merman by chance, so we won it." Gu Yue had no choice but to edit it now.
"So that's the case!" The city lord was obviously excited, and he didn't doubt it, "It seems that Mr. is also a strange person."
"The city owner has won the prize, it's just a little trick."
"Sir, you don't have to be too modest!" The city lord said more and more excitedly, "Can you catch such a strange thing, how can you be an ordinary person? Don't worry, the city lord will remember your credit, and there will be a lot of rewards."
"Then many thanks to the city lord." The money sent to the door is not for nothing.
He smiled more and more happily, and glanced at the two again, something flashed in his eyes, "I see a few of them are outsiders. If you have such skills, why not stay in my mansion and seek a future?" He directly suggested, After thinking about it, he added, "To tell the truth, I have always liked such rare and exotic beasts, and I have collected a lot in the palace, but this is the first time I have seen someone who can catch a merman in the sea, I really appreciate it. very."
It turned out that she wanted to recruit thugs, Gu Yue smiled and said, "Thank you for the good intentions of the city lord, but I still have important things to do. It's just passing through this city, it's really not good to stay here."
"Oh?" His face sank instantly, as if dissatisfied with his refusal, "Think about it clearly, if you stay in my mansion, won't you be better than running around in the future?"
"I hope the city master understands!" Gu Yue still replied, "We do have something important."
The city lord's face became darker, and he continued to laugh after a while, "Don't rush to make a conclusion so early. I see a few people who also have research on alien races, why don't you follow me to the Rare Beast Garden to see what I have collected? Alien, how about making another decision?"
After speaking, without waiting for a few people to respond, he turned around and walked out. The guard with the knife next to him took two steps forward, as if waiting for a few people to leave. Gu Yue and Yi Qing glanced at each other, and something flashed in their eyes at the same time, and then they followed up and pulled Shen Ying up. It was Sister Fang Fang with a panicked face, but she had to keep up, walking cautiously beside Shen Ying.
The Rare Beast Garden that the city lord said was not far away. Several people followed him through several courtyards, and finally turned into a courtyard with a completely different style. The yard is huge, but it is full of rare treasures, and the roadside is full of exotic flowers and plants of different colors.
From time to time, you can see all kinds of strange-looking creatures passing through it. There are deer with flower branches on their heads, cats that speak human words, strange-looking beasts, etc., which are not things that can be easily seen in the mortal world. .
