Chapter 18 Chapter 18 "Is the world going to end again?"...

Xia Xifeng left as soon as he said he would, and he even climbed out the window to avoid meeting Leo and wasting time.

After Xia Xifeng said in private that he had successfully left and was rushing to Green Sand City accompanied by a halfling warrior, Qin Lang went to find Leo and Pereira who were still arguing.

As soon as he saw Qin Lang, Leo shouted, "Lang! You come and judge!"

Qin Lang walked over, pulled out a dagger, and hit Leo on the forehead with the handle of the dagger in front of his confused gaze.

Leo Ripoll.

"The last one is silent." Qin Lang said.

Pereira blinked. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she still trusted Qin Lang and followed his request to fill Leo with silence.

Applying a debuff is also considered an attack, and Leo will wake up immediately.

The moment he woke up, Qin Lang stuffed the narrow-necked bottle of sleeping potion into Leo's mouth.

Leo just woke up and took a sip reflexively.

He looked blankly at Qin Lang who was feeding him "water", and swallowed the potion with a "gulp".

Pereira was curious: "What is this?"

Qin Lang said, "Sleeping potion. Xia Xifeng went to inform Mr. Su Er. Let Leo get some sleep to avoid delays."

Pereira: “…”

Leo: “…”

Leo: "You, you guys, are you really that serious?"

After saying this, Leo, who was completely defenseless against Qin Lang, fell asleep foolishly.

Pereira was speechless for a long time.

Qin Lang moved Leo to lie down on the sofa: "It was Xia Xifeng's idea. Don't blame me."

Perilla covered her mouth and almost laughed: "Is it too much?"

Qin Lang emphasized again: "Blame Xia Xifeng for leaving."

Perilla put down her hand covering her mouth, leaned back in her chair, and said sullenly, "I know Leo is very kind..."

Qin Lang asked, "Do you think Xia Xifeng's caution is not kind enough?"

Pereira immediately shook her head: "No, that's not what I meant."

Qin Lang said: "So Leo's disagreement with us on this matter has nothing to do with kindness, it's just because he's stupid."

Pereira: “…Is that so?”

Qin Lang glanced at the private chat.

Xia Xifeng typed a long string of words and asked him to relay them to Perilla.

Qin Lang repeated, "If he was just being kind, he should have considered Lana's situation the most. Lana was almost killed, and the murderer is unknown. Maybe he has a friend in the dwarf caravan, but his friend is a good person. What does he have to do with Lana? Although Lana is young, she is old enough to travel far. Once she calms down, she will definitely be able to explain her experience clearly, and it won't be too late to help her then. Until then, the only thing we can do is protect her well and not reveal her information to anyone."

Perilla asked, "Is that little girl called Lana? Can she answer now? And, Qin Lang, are you paraphrasing Feng? It's a little scary to hear you speak so long all of a sudden."

Leo got up from the sofa, crossed his legs, looked at Qin Lang, and nodded continuously.

He suppressed his strength, but his physique remained unchanged, still nearing legendary status. A sip of the low-level sleeping potion would have been enough to knock him unconscious for a few seconds.

But the silencing spell Pereira cast on him was still in effect, and he could only keep his mouth shut and protest with his eyes.

Qin Lang: "I don't want to repeat it either. Do you still want to listen?"

Pereira couldn't help but laugh and said, "Listen, keep going."

Leo tried to speak, but Pereira ignored his gestures and refused to break his silence.

He could only hang his head, his eyes wet, like a big depressed dog.

Qin Lang sighed and continued to stare at the system panel in front of him and "read aloud": "Apart from Lana's situation, Leo has not considered Green Sand City. As he said, a dwarf girl with powerful protective magic accessories can only be from a dwarf caravan. That dwarf caravan was attacked near Green Sand City. This incident is likely aimed at Green Sand City..."

Leo danced and gestured vigorously.

Qin Lang glanced at Leo and continued, "Leo must be thinking that the city lord is very powerful. This is his most foolish point. He doesn't use his brain because he is confident that he and you, Perilla, are very strong and can protect Lana even if there are some minor problems. Even if the two of you encounter a strong enemy, the city lord has not left Green Sand City. Who dares to be presumptuous in front of the city lord?"

Leo placed his hands on his crossed knees and nodded vigorously.

Qin Lang continued, "But he didn't consider one thing. If the enemy really came prepared and tried to disrupt Green Sand City, wouldn't they know that the city lord hadn't left Green Sand City?"

Leo was stunned.

Perilla showed a look of panic: "No, it's impossible? The city lord is so powerful, how could it be possible..."

Qin Lang asked, "Since Green Sand City was founded, it has never had any enemies, and has never been plotted against?"

Pereira was silent.

Of course not.

On the contrary, the Green Sand City took root in the wasteland, and a free alliance that refused to obey the Elf Empire and the Human Empire emerged in the wasteland. It was a thorn in the eyes of many people.

Qin Lang concluded: "The city lord is very powerful, and it's not easy to attack him directly. So as the younger generation, you should be more cautious. It won't hurt to think more."

Pereira raised his hands in surrender. "I've been thinking a lot, but he's the one without the brains. Lang, are you thirsty? I'll get you some water."

To remind them, what Qin Lang said today was probably the sum of his words over the past few days. Perilla was a little moved.

Leo went from sitting cross-legged to curling up with his legs hugged, looking more like a depressed big dog.

Obviously, he is not really stupid and has reflected on himself.

Pereira broke Leo's silence, and Leo didn't say anything either.

Qin Lang said, "Xia Xifeng left a big pot of creamy soup. I'm not full yet, would you like another bowl?"

Pereira immediately said, "Yes!"

Leo said pitifully, "...Yes."

Okay, problem solved.

Next time, I'll leave the task of persuading others to Xia Xifeng. I'm really not good at it.

Xia Xifeng was riding on the back of a horse at lightning speed, with his hair all messed up like a mess. He was typing while being jolted and almost fainted from the horse.

If it weren't for the riding skill that came with his character panel, he might have been thrown off.

Fortunately, when he reached the city gate, he could change his mount into a comfortable magic chariot.

The halfling who was temporarily acting as Xia Xifeng's guard pointed at the city gate and asked, "Is that a dwarven caravan?"

Xia Xifeng glanced at the city gate and said, "Let's switch gates."

The halfling guard thought Xia Xifeng just didn't like crowds and didn't ask any further questions.

The two of them took a detour and arrived at the side door.

Coincidentally, Damon was doing business at the side door and could give him a ride.

Xia Xifeng joked: "Why do I always run into you? Are you free?"

Damon didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Every time I see you, you're always working, okay? You're the one. If you're not busy building your Knight Territory, why are you running into the city? If you need supplies, just tell me and I'll have someone deliver them to you."

Xia Xifeng said, "I have something important to report to Mr. Suer. Is Mr. Suer in the castle?"

Damon's expression immediately turned serious. "Is it something important? What is it... No, don't tell me, report it directly to the city lord. Mr. Soul suddenly said yesterday morning that he wanted to meditate in seclusion. Whenever Mr. Soul meditates in seclusion, he won't leave for at least a month. I can't see him now."

Xia Xifeng asked, "Yesterday morning?"

Damon nodded: "Yes."

Xia Xifeng sighed deeply: "It's over. I am now more and more certain that this is definitely a big conspiracy."

Damon said nervously, "What big conspiracy? My uncle is still in the city!"

Xia Xifeng said, "Anyone who wants to plot a big conspiracy must know that the city lord is in the city."

Damon's expression became more serious. "That's right. I'll speed up."

The halfling guards also became nervous. "Is something serious happening? Is it dangerous? Is someone going to attack Green Sand City? The last time Green Sand City was attacked by non-monsters was ten years ago. Should I notify everyone?"

Xia Xifeng said, "Don't worry. They will definitely come secretly and won't attack immediately. With Perilla and Leo here, it won't be easy for them to launch a sneak attack."

The halfling guard patted his chest and said, "Yeah, we have Pereira and Leo. It's just that Leo is a little bit stupid, but we still have Pereira."

Xia Xifeng quickly shared this sentence with Qin Lang.

Look, I'm not the only one who says Leo is stupid. Leo is stupid, and it's an open "secret" throughout the Sunflower Valley!

Qin Lang, who had just finished his soup, told Leo what Xia Xifeng said, and then told Xia Xifeng about Leo's reaction.

Xia Xifeng almost laughed out loud, feeling much more relaxed.

A conspiracy that has been predicted is no longer a "conspiracy", so there must be no problem.

When Amuruo saw Xia Xifeng suddenly coming to find him, he immediately took Xia Xifeng into the secret room engraved with many magical barriers.

He expanded his domain, taking double insurance, and then spoke: "Tell me, little prophet, are you in big trouble?"

Xia Xifeng was surprised: "How did the city lord know?"

Amuruo said, "You can just call me Mr. Amuruo. Don't be so polite. It's nothing serious. You wouldn't rush to look for Su'er. Especially when Su'er is meditating."

He frowned and said, "When Sur was meditating, you foresaw danger. This is really a big trouble."

Su Er was truly "captured" by fate.

Fortunately, they found a new prophet in time.

Xia Xifeng had a lot of questions, but now was not the time to ask.

He told Amuruo about the accidental rescue of the dwarf girl.

"Although Lana's story is confusing, Qin Lang and I happened to encounter a similar shadow." After discussing with Qin Lang, Xia Xifeng decided to confess some "prophecies" to Amuruo.

The corrupted monsters have appeared, the end of the world is coming, and there is no room for them to hesitate.

Xia Xifeng asked, "Mr. Amuruo, do you know about the Outer Gods?"

Amuruo was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to his forehead and sighed deeply, "I don't know. But as soon as I heard the name, I knew it was going to be a big trouble. What? Is the war between gods about to begin again? Is the end of the world coming again? "

Xia Xifeng: "...You can guess this?"

Amuruo's mouth twitched: "Isn't this what a prophet predicts? Why would a prophet be needed for an ordinary prophecy?"

Xia Xifeng: "Yes."

As expected of a senior guardian! Really experienced!
