Xiao Zhi didn't have much impression of Declater. He only vaguely remembered seeing him a few times in the trade area and hearing him report on his work. He was a person who didn't make many mistakes, and he belonged to a background character with a low sense of presence.

This person was not recruited by him personally, but was selected from the undead when Hessen was recruiting. Unexpectedly, he was still a child of two or five, and he has been a senior since he was alive.

I don't even think about it, if Hessen is gone, as an undead, he will probably be the next target of Blaise. Everyone knows how to kill the birds, hide the good bows, kill the cunning rabbits, and cook the lackeys. If Hesse is destroyed, Brace will naturally not need a traitor who is an undead.

After accepting the task, Todds gave Xiao Zhi a way to contact Ditrak, and then Xiao Zhi said goodbye to Todes and left from Brace's headquarters.

He was not in a hurry to go back to deal with the traitors immediately, but wandered around with other players, as if ready to see what other hidden rewards were in Blaise's camp. People on the mainland have long been accustomed to the neurotic behavior of the Athanasi people. In other words, in their eyes, this is the standard style of the Athanasi people.

It's a pity that no other top brass came over to give him the task, and it seems that he can't get more clues.

When he was done shopping, Xiao Zhi seemed to finally remember his hidden mission, put on his cloak and walked slowly towards Hessen.

The border of Hesse, a remote and desolate corner.

Xiao Zhi took out the spar that Todds gave him, and tapped it lightly three times. After a while, the inside of the spar suddenly became cloudy like a sandstorm. A man with a hedron answered him.

Xiao Zhi put away the spar, pulled the 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 first looked around cautiously, then asked Xiao Zhi to take out the spar to confirm his identity, and finally waved to Xiao Zhi and asked him to follow him.

Xiao Zhi looked at his series of actions and couldn't help but sigh, probably this is professional.

Can't compare, can't compare.

Declater took Xiao Zhi to an undead carriage and moved quietly on the path in the woods. He seemed to be familiar with the Hessian route. He walked through areas with no permanent residents and no traffic network coverage. Naturally, these locations were not patrolled.

Xiao Zhi carefully memorized the way he came, and planned to arrange for someone to plug this defense loophole after the meeting.

In order to keep quiet, the two of them were silent all the way and moved forward in silence.

Finally, came to a place where could vaguely see the corpse palace.

The carriage slowly stopped, and Declater whispered: "I can only take you here, and further ahead is the area where Hessian lords and knight commanders often haunt, their routes are irregular, and you need to do it yourself. dodge."

Xiao Zhi asked, "Can we go a little further, it's quite far from here."

After he finished speaking, he also stuffed Dikrat with a small bag of gold shells, all of which were large denominations.

Declater accepted the money decisively, weighed the weight in his hand and accepted it, but hesitantly said, "No way, the undead carriage's target is too big, and if you accidentally bump into a knight commander, you won't be able to run at all. The smaller the target, the safer it is.”

As soon as Xiao Zhi heard what he was saying, he hurriedly stuffed another pack of golden shells for him: "I see that you are very skilled in walking all the way, and have brought a lot of people here? You must know which way is the best way to get there. Right? Everyone is out to make money, so I won't embarrass you, just tell me, maybe we can work together next time."

Perhaps it was the effect of the banknote ability. After accepting the package of gold shells, Declater's tone softened a lot: "Hey, I didn't bring anyone, you are the first. But... This is what I discovered after exploring for a long time. Only I know exactly how to go, so if you ask me, you will be right."

He opened the curtain of the carriage and pointed his finger in one direction. Xiao Zhi followed his finger and looked over, only to see an unremarkable forest.

Declater said: "See, there is a very tall tree there, and the branches of this tree are very long, so that you can reach the tree over there, and I have carved marks on the branches of how to go after that. You can stay on the tree all the way along, and it's hard to see if there's a tree cover."

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but applaud him, Krypton Gold really can become stronger, even in the world 600 years later, it is the same truth, Krypton Gold's treatment is really different, and it also has guidance, it's so caring .

If it weren't for the fact that this person was a boy of two or five, Xiao Zhi really wanted to praise the other person for a little genius.

Xiao Zhi made persistent efforts, and bluntly stuffed another bag of golden shells: "Is there any more? How to find the regent after getting close, can you tell me?"

"I really don't know this..." Declater said, but quickly put Jinbei into the storage ring, as if he was afraid that Xiao Zhi would go back on it.

Then he spoke slowly. "The regent's whereabouts are usually uncertain. Whether you can meet him depends on luck. If you can guard the lord's room, you may be able to see him."

Declater smiled: "However, then you will face the Hessian lord, I don't recommend you do this hahahaha-"

His laughter was stuck halfway, because a gorgeous staff slammed into his forehead. Although he was already dead, he felt cold because of the psychological effect or not.

"You, you, you... What do you want to do? I told you all!" Declater hurriedly said.

Xiao Zhi looked at his expression and asked in a low voice, "Really?"

Declater nodded hastily: "Really! I really told you all!"

Xiao Zhi looked at his expression, trying to tell whether this guy was lying or not.

Dikrat's heart froze when he was seen, but he knew that this person was a fire-type mage who could fight bone dragons alone. If he was unhappy and gave him a few times, he, a fragile civil servant, would really have to say goodbye to this world completely. Now, he still has so much money to spend, how can he die!

He had an idea and thought he had figured out the crux of the problem, and said quickly, "How about I give you half of the last package of golden shells? Everyone works with money, so there's no need to embarrass each other, right?"

Xiao Zhi showed a smile, such a greedy guy was actually willing to pay back the money, it seemed that there was really no stock: "What is half of it? I want it all."

Declater's eyes widened, how could there be such a shameless person in this world? ! It seems that he still underestimated the shamelessness of the Athanasi people! ! !

Immediately afterwards, he watched helplessly as the person in front of him took out a small bone flute with his free hand, and blew it lightly, but no sound came out.

This is the flute that Frost gave Xiao Zhi to summon Alpha. No matter where he is, as long as he blows it, Alpha can hear the news.

Soon, there was a gust of wind in the forest, and along with the breaking of trees, a huge white bone dragon appeared in front of the two of them. Xiao Zhi left the carriage with Dikrat in one hand, and walked towards Alifa, who opened his mouth happily.

Declater screamed: "Wait, wait, wait, wait, can't I pay back the money? Not only can I give you all of it, but I can—"

Xiao Zhi ignored his horrified and shocked eyes and shoved him into Alifa's mouth.

"Gu..." Alifa expressed disgust, what kind of thing is this, it's not delicious.

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 Xiao Zhi coquettishly, then flapped his wings obediently, and sent the courier to Milton.

Dikrat, who was locked in Alifa's mouth, was still in shock and confusion, feeling that the whole world was unreal.

Why did Blaise's arrangement point the staff at him? Why can that person recruit the bone dragon? Why would he do this? Is he also a twenty-five boy?

Also...obviously much better than myself...

Xiao Zhi changed back to the regent's dress, and while sending a message to Milton, he continued to ride in the undead carriage and returned to the Hall of Bones with great fanfare.

At this point, the cooperation negotiation with Changyue Desert has ended.

With Tutaqiang's pull, Teague and Milton perfectly reached a cooperation agreement, and they will work together in the subsequent battle against Brees. If there are orc warriors who are transformed into undead after death in battle, they will also receive preferential treatment from Hessian.

After a night, the interrogation against Declat also came out.

He became an undead after he died three years ago, and then joined Hesse. For a long time, he was an ordinary existence. It was not until he passed the assessment of the administrative officer that he quietly got in touch with Blaise again. Usually, he passed 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 a recent matter.

According to Declater's confession, there are two people like him, one from a tribe in the Long Moon Desert, and the other from the small country Sita, a small country adjacent to Brace, all of whom had secret contacts with Brace before his death.

Xiao Zhi asked, "Can you confirm that he is telling the truth?"

"I arrested the other two people together, used twenty-seven interrogation methods, and finally compared the interrogation results repeatedly to confirm that what they said was true." Milton's tone was gentle, without a hint of firework. "They are all willing to use the truth in exchange for an earlier release."

Xiao Zhi looked at Milton's calm face and his aristocratic temperament, but he didn't expect that this man was actually a ruthless man. However, it is normal that someone who can wander alone on the mainland for hundreds of years as an undead in search of recovery is not a soft-hearted guy.

Fewer traitors were found than expected, which is good news.

It probably had to meet the requirements of having a flirt with Brace before he was alive, and becoming an undead after death. Even if Brace had hidden people in various countries on the continent, there were very few who could successfully infiltrate Hesse.

After that, Xiao Zhi began to discuss with Milton how to deal with the defensive loopholes left by the traitors.

Chiba Kingdom, the top of the king tree.

In the vast hall, King Chiba 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 Hessen quietly."

Qianye Wang didn't speak, his blue eyes looked to an unknown distance, the breeze gently blew his long gray-green hair and the branches and leaves on his temples, but there was no emotion on his handsome face.

The valet asked: "You seem to be worried, do you need me to bring His Royal Highness back?"

The Chiba Kingdom has always been neutral, and the Crown Prince's actions at the moment obviously violated the long-standing rules.

Qianye Wang shook his head: "This is Xiaowu's own choice. He needs to bear the consequences himself. He will one day become the king of Qianye Kingdom. It's time to learn to grow up..."

Hesse.

A neat line suddenly crossed the gloomy sky. It was a group of very large birds with reddish-brown feathers, lined up in a neat formation in the air, heading towards the area where Hesse and Brace were fighting. come.

Alarmed by such a movement, many people looked at them.

Soon, the team fell to the ground.

A young man jumped off the bird's back, followed by a series of people dressed in exquisite battle armor. From their appearance, it can be seen that they are a group of wood spirits.

Everyone wondered, what did the Wood Spirit Race come here for?

After Xiao Zhi received the news, he hurriedly stopped discussing with Milton and walked in the direction of the appearance of the Wood Spirit Clan.

The head of the young man had a piece of tender green leaves on his head. He looked like fourteen or fifteen, with some baby fat on his face, and there were still many plant features on his body, and he was full of youthful vigor.

At first glance, everyone hadn't recognized who this young man was, but felt that those eyes that were somewhat similar to King Chiba were very familiar, until they caught a glimpse of the pink-haired girl standing beside the young man.

Isn't this Ina? Ina is the chief female officer beside Chiba Wu, and she is very diligent when it comes to foreign trade, so many people know her.

Could it be that this boy is - Chiba Wu? !

The little green cabbage has finally become fine?

The boy is indeed Chiba Wu. After a long infancy, he finally entered the juvenile period. During this period, he would slowly change his appearance until he was mostly human like his father, but that was a long, long time later. thing.

He said to the girl beside him, "Ina, do you think it's risky for me to do this?"

Ina replied: "His Royal Highness only needs to strengthen his heart."

Qianye Wu looked at his weak hand: "I think Breth's behavior must be stopped. Although the two countries are far apart, Breth will not be able to hit us in a short time. I also know the biggest disadvantage of the Wood Spirit Clan. It is slow growth, once casualties occur, the situation will continue to be unfavorable for us, so the father and the king will remain neutral for a long time and will not participate in any disputes."

"But if they are allowed to defeat Hesse, the Dolly Alliance, the Longyue Desert and other small countries, it will definitely be Chiba's turn in the end. We simply don't have the strength to fight against such weapons alone."

He looked at the Hessian fortifications in front of him: "We need to cooperate, not only to help Hesse, but also for the security of Chiba."

Ina listened with a smile, nodding her head from time to time.

Chiba Wu said: "I'm sorry, I'm going to take you on an adventure. This time I'm here in a private name and have nothing to do with the country of Chiba, so I can't count on the support of my father."

Ina turned serious: "From the day I swore my allegiance to you, I was ready to die for you."

Chiba Wu smiled: "It seems that I have to do my best, I can't let my subordinates sacrifice."

At this time, Teague, who happened to be nearby, came over. As a diplomat, he naturally knew Qianye Wu. Although he had not met formally, Teague had already memorized important figures from various countries in the mainland by heart.

He saluted Qianye Wu: "Hello, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Qianye, I'm diplomat Teague, I wonder why you came to Hesse?"

Chiba Wu said in a dignified manner: "This time I am supporting Hesse in my own name."

The two had a harmonious and friendly exchange. Teague is a person who is good at observing words and deeds. With the tempering of being a liar all the year round, coupled with the recent expansion of his horizons as a diplomat, he soon started chatting and laughing with Chiba Wu.

Chatting and chatting, Chiba Wu suddenly stared at Teague's face.

Teague's smile was a little puzzled: "Excuse me, is there anything wrong with me?"

Chiba Wu lowered his voice: "That... Mr. Diplomat, I seem to have seen your magical image in a book."

Teague: "What book?"

Qianye Wu: ""Underwater Portrait of Hundred Male Gods of the Xiyue Clan"."

Teague showed a clear expression and smiled more gently: "Ah, I did shoot that one before my death, and there are many series. If you like it, I have a set of exclusive limited autographed editions here for your Highness."

"Wow..." Chiba Wu was a little excited.

Just arrived, Xiao Zhi, who accidentally heard the conversation: "..."

Did this guy Teague not only persuade people to go to sea, but also go to sea himself? !

Teague continued to add: "I also have a custom service here, which can create an exclusive crown prince-level honorable gift box for you, which contains a lot of unpublished content, which is exclusive to order, only this one."

Chiba Wu's eyes shone brightly.

Ina looked at her highness with complicated eyes. His 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?
