Gods: Start with Goblins

Zhuge Yunzhen fell into silence. Since the treasure of the town was of great importance, only a few people in the entire territory knew about it. Now to reveal to an outsider that he was the number one suspect for stealing things, it was unreliable no matter how he looked at it. .

But then I thought, if the treasure was really stolen by Luo Dan, there would be no point in telling it or not. The other party must know the purpose of the treasure.

On the other hand, if you really don't know, it will be fine if you say it yourself. The top priority must be to hunt down the murderer, not to worry about whether others know or not.

Now that they are being hunted and killed, it will probably take a few days for the news to spread, and everyone in the city will know that there is such a treasure. Let's get straight to the point with Luo Dan and test it out. We might be able to find clues from the other person's expression.

"The treasure of the city is also the key to the city. Once someone gets it, they can command and control the city, including the city's layout, mechanisms, etc. Even once it is opened, all people in the city must obey its orders. "

When Zhuge Yunzhen spoke, Luo Dan was really shocked. In other words, the loss of the lord's status symbol was indeed a sensational event.

Of course, he was shocked but also a little confused. He asked: "It's just a key. The one who can really control this territory is the fist. You are a quasi-sage. Even if an outsider really gets it, can they replace you?" The position of lord?"

If Zhuge Yunzhen was just an ordinary person, it would be useless even if he got the key. On the contrary, no one would dare to resist without the key, right? Faced with the threat of a quasi-Holy See, who would dare to use a mere key to cause trouble? Rodan was puzzled.

"If the enemy lord gets it, once a war starts, it will be twice the result with half the effort. Our city will crumble like soil. I am afraid that the enemy's spies are sent to steal it."

Zhuge Yunzhen's eyes were dark and he said sternly: "We must find it anyway, so I'm sorry, I have to search this room inside and outside, including the space storage bag on your body, and I hope you can open it." To avoid a big war.”

"More than that, the key must have a secret!" Luo Dan said with a playful smile: "If the safety of the city is at stake, in addition to sending people to retrieve the key, you will immediately change the city's defenses, and even be on full alert to prevent outsiders. Coming."

Zhuge Yunzhen only wanted to retrieve the key, and had no other defenses. It was obviously more important than the enemy lord attacking the key. All this was naturally unreasonable, so Luo Dan could infer that there was a secret on the key. .

Zhuge Yunzhen's expression changed, and he couldn't help but said: "You are smarter than I thought. Indeed, the key is not just a symbol, otherwise it would not be related to the safety of the entire city. In fact, only the lords of the past know the real secret. .”

"A long time ago, our ancestors used more than 10,000 formation mages and spent a hundred years to set up a shocking formation in this city. Even the spiritual stones of the formation were all replaced with the corpse of the Holy See, making this city Shrouded by the Holy Formation.”

Zhuge Yunzhen took a deep breath and continued: "Once you get the key, you can activate the formation, and even control the formation. It is the same as the power of life and death that everyone in this city has. Even if I am a quasi-sage, in the formation They are like ants under the law."

"This matter has always been a secret, and only the lords of the past generations knew about it, so although it was stolen, the thief must not be able to find the secret to unlock the key for the time being, otherwise the entire formation may have been opened, and everyone will be in a life-or-death situation. "

Zhuge Yunzhen stretched out his hand and looked at Luo Dan: "So hand over the key, and I will forget everything. I can let you leave safely, but if you keep hiding the key, you will be responsible for the consequences. As the lord of this city, I will definitely Will take action."

"I have told you more than five times, I didn't take it." Luo Dan spread his hands, but he was thinking more than Zhuge Yunzhen. As the other party said, the key has always been a secret, and the whole world knows it. There are only a few people, so who would steal?

He must have known about the formation, which made the other party willing to take the risk. However, the only one who knew the formation was the lord. It is impossible that the lord hid the key and deliberately framed it? No matter how you look at it, this possibility is infinitely close to zero.

So Luo Dan had a bold guess. The person who stole the key must be someone close to Zhuge Yunzhen. He accidentally learned the secret and even coveted the position of lord, so he wanted to take the key and open the formation. The law replaced the lord.

It was obvious that Rodan had become the scapegoat, allowing himself to keep dealing with the lord. The real murderer was to study the secret of the formation. Once the other party succeeded, he would probably die the same as the spirit master.

But who around Zhuge Yunzhen is possible? The identity must be similar to that of the lord, and the strength must be above that of the lord. After excluding this, there is only one person Luo Dan can think of, and that is the deputy lord Zhuge Yi who has always played the role of a good guy.

Luo Dan not only took a breath of cold air. If everything was really done by the other party, even Luo Dan had to admit that the other party's acting skills were very good. He even came in person just now to ask him to return to the Lord's Mansion for investigation. He didn't look like a thief in any way. A walking murderer.

It's just that when dealing with the Nangong family, Zhuge Yi happened to be in the lord's mansion, and since he and Zhuge Yunzhen went out to watch a show, Zhuge Yi had time to steal things, and as the deputy lord, he would definitely be able to find out the key. secret.

Luo Dan suddenly looked at Zhuge Yunzhen with pity, smacked his lips and said: "Through analysis, I found a suspicious person, and there is even a high probability that the person is the murderer, but do you want to hear it? And this result will definitely make you unhappy. Dare to believe it.”

"Aside from you, is there anyone suspicious?" Zhuge Yunzhen frowned, leaving Luo Dan speechless. The other party only suspected himself from beginning to end, and even others were unwilling to speculate, which immediately made Luo Dan feel angry. Say it.

But when he thought that if Zhuge Yi really activated the formation, he would also suffer, so he could only hold back his temper: "At that time, I was watching the destruction of the Nangong family just like you, but there was one person who was not there, and he had the same strength. powerful."

"Who?" Zhuge Yunzhen was puzzled. He had already investigated everyone at the time. Except for Luo Dan, no one else was suspected. At that time, there were only five powerful people above the Lord's Mansion. He had to exclude himself first. And the head of the Nangong family.

The remaining three are Luo Dan, deputy lord Zhuge Yi and Sikong Linglei. Sikong Linglei was naturally excluded by him. As for Zhuge Yi, he would definitely not do it. He would always be loyal to the territory and would never do this. . Therefore, only Luo Dan was suspected, unless there was a strong person hiding in the Lord's Mansion at that time. But if he could avoid the detection of his spiritual consciousness, at least the other party would be above the Quasi-Saint, then he would not be able to deal with it, let alone hide it. With.

Rodan coughed and said, "You are very familiar with this person. He is the number one person under the lord, and he is very trustworthy to you."

"You mean, Zhuge Yi?" Zhuge Yunzhen frowned, obviously shocked. Even if Luo Dan slandered him, he shouldn't have chosen Zhuge Yi. Zhuge Yi has always been loyal to him, and he has always been kind and charitable. Who doesn't know who doesn't know?

Besides, he has no heirs, and Zhuge Yi is the great elder and deputy lord. If something happens to him as a lord one day, he will definitely let the deputy lord succeed him. How could the other party steal the key in such a hurry?

Luo Dan nodded. Seeing Zhuge Yunzhen's shock, he obviously didn't believe it, so he continued: "Think about it, when we dealt with the Nangong family, Zhuge Yi was not there. If there was nothing important, how could he not join in the fun? ?”

"Secondly, how can I, an outsider, know that the key can activate the formation? On the contrary, Zhuge Yunzhen is the deputy lord under one person, so he must have the opportunity to find out, so even if you don't believe it, you can just think about it calmly. "

"And the one who covets the lord is definitely not an outsider like us. Even if the key can activate the entire city's formation, so what? It's nothing more than a life-and-death feud with you. Otherwise, we only care about opportunities and will definitely not care about these."

"Yeah, outsiders care about this?" Zhuge Yunzhen murmured to himself, as if it suddenly dawned on him that the key is just a key after all. In addition to being able to open the shocking formation of the capital, it has more symbolic meaning than a practitioner. I'm willing to take over this hot potato.

Only those who want to be a lord must want to get the key. This is half the battle. At least now the city is under the control of the other party. But no matter what Zhuge Yunzhen thinks, he dare not think about Zhuge Yun Zhen turned out to be the murderer.

Does he really want to be this lord? Zhuge Yunzhen fell into deep thought. Zhuge Yi had always disliked power, so he had always taken care of things in the city by himself. For so many years, he had been trying to get Zhuge Yunzhen to share the burden with him, but Zhuge Yi always used various excuses to deal with it.

This made me helpless, but I also trusted Zhuge Yi very much, so I made him the deputy lord. If everything was as Luo Dan guessed, how long had the other party been planning the plan? Just thinking about it for a moment, Zhuge Yunzhen took a breath of cold air.

Zhuge Yunzhen's eyes were heavy and he waved his hand: "I can't doubt Zhuge Yi because of your one-sided words. No matter what, you have finally provided a new idea. I will definitely investigate Zhuge Yi. The city gate is closed these two days. Don't think about leaving. ."

"You'd better hurry up. I think once Zhuge Yi steals the key, he will start the shocking formation within at least these two days!" Luo Dan warned Zhuge Yunzhen, knowing that the other party had been persuaded by him. , I just don’t want to believe it yet.

However, time cannot be delayed. Zhuge Yi spent many years planning all this and must have arranged everything perfectly. His arrival did give him an extra scapegoat. However, even if he did not come, it would not affect Zhuge Yi's layout strategy.

Zhuge Yunzhen didn't reply and disappeared completely. On the other side, Zhuge Yi mobilized tens of thousands of guards to investigate the missing treasure, and he returned to the lord's mansion. At this time, there was no one in the mansion except two guards outside the door.

After a while, Zhuge Yunzhen also came back, glanced at the guard and said, "How is it? Has the deputy lord sent someone to investigate and found out anything?"

"No, all the men have been sent out, and the deputy lord has just returned." The two guards answered Zhuge Yunzhen truthfully.

Zhuge Yunzhen was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically. He couldn't help but think of Luo Dan's guess. Why did Zhuge Yi come back suddenly at this time? Thinking of the worst possibility, Zhuge Yunzhen dodged into the lord's mansion with such speed that the guards were puzzled.

At this time, in a secret room in the Lord's Mansion, Zhuge Yi easily opened the mechanism, then followed the corridor to an underground passage, and sprinkled a little of his own blood on it. The next moment, a stone lion appeared in the tunnel with bright golden light.

Zhuge Yi smiled faintly, and a key appeared in his hand: "After so many years, I have worked hard for so long, and it is time that I finally got my position as lord."

The moment he put the key on the stone lion, the lion suddenly shone with golden light, but then suddenly became dim. This scene made Zhuge Yi extremely puzzled. It was not just that he could control the city's defense tower as long as he got the key. Formation?

Then he patted his head again and finally figured it out: "Only people from the Zhuge clan can do it, so the key I got is useless. However, I am also a direct descendant of the Zhuge clan, so it must be useful. After all, the agency can't identify who is who." Lord."

After that, Zhuge Yi poured some more blood on it. The stone lion seemed to come to life. A roar shook the whole place. Then the stone lion and Zhuge Yi went through the process of recognizing the master. From this moment on, Zhuge Yi has obtained the guardian of the city. Array control.

This stone lion is the formation spirit of the city-protecting formation: "With the formation spirit obedient, what do you need to fear? So what if Zhuge Yunzhen is a quasi-sage? He took my position as lord back then, but today it is just Take it back and everything makes sense.”

"Zhuge Yi, I never thought it was really you." Suddenly another person came, this person was Zhuge Yunzhen. When he saw this scene, he was heartbroken. He had doubted everyone in the Lord's Mansion before, but Zhuge Yunzhen was the only one who did not doubt him. Yi is the person behind it.

If Luo Dan hadn't reminded him, he might still be in the dark about everything, but he really couldn't figure out why Zhuge Yi coveted the position of lord? In the entire city, he was the one under him, his status was second only to himself, and he trusted Zhuge Yi in every possible way.

Although my heart skipped a beat just now, I kept praying that my suspicion was wrong. It wasn't until I showed up to see this scene with my own eyes that I realized that I was being deceived like a fool.

Seeing the person coming, Zhuge Yi was stunned for a moment. In his original plan, he was afraid that Zhuge Yunzhen would have to investigate for at least two or three more days before he could suspect him. Unexpectedly, it only took less than half a day. It has to be said that it was super. More than you can imagine.

However, after thinking about it carefully, I realized that based on Zhuge Yunzhen's stupid and pitiful look, it was probably someone else who helped figure it out. Although everything disrupted his plan, Zhuge Yi had nothing to fear now that he had obtained the formation spirit. . (End of chapter)
