【Welcome to the Continent of Innocence, chaotic and evil Mo, I wish you good night】

……

Chauvin Empire, King's Capital Troon, Mansion of the Lord of Sin
Mo, who successfully loaded the character, did not appear in the usual dark room. He faintly woke up in the study on the east side of the mansion. His black eyes that could not reflect the slightest color behind the mask narrowed slightly. The next moment, this room that was originally The house filled with sunlight dimmed without warning, the treetops in the courtyard were gently swayed by the breeze, a wisp of dark cloud slowly floated in the sky, and the roller blind that a servant accidentally did not fasten , without exception, all the brightness and warmth are isolated from the outside, and this big room with the best lighting becomes gloomy and depressing.

Frankly to the point of blatant malice...

But the parties did not show any dissent or dissatisfaction, and even felt a little funny for no reason.

Mo went offline here yesterday. As the hottest new nobleman in Troon during this period, this criminal is really a bit too busy. Otherwise, the number of visitors who are thinking about investing in the early stage, testing positions, making contacts, making friends with Gallows, introducing daughters, and promoting themselves may increase several times.

This is not surprising, because everyone with a discerning eye can see that the future of this lord of crimes is definitely far more than that, not to mention his close relationship with the Grand Duke Garros, even the Tsar who is the military force of the country The Knights of the Sword have a great impression of this young Earl who has a "comrade in arms", and His Majesty William Ho even came to visit him twice after summoning the Sin Lord once. It is enough to explain many problems.

"I'm really curious."

A slender black figure appeared by the window without a sound, her voice was a little cold, but warmer than the temperature in this room: "Why do those people always come to you with such irrelevant nonsense. "

Mo glanced at the door not far in front of him that had been opened a little at some point, and didn't turn his head to turn to the dark elf who would always find himself online the first time, but replied flatly: "Because they want to Take the 'don't think that crap is crap' attitude from me, and the 'what's not crap' stance from me."

Ji Xiaodao blinked her scarlet eyes lightly, and asked again: "Then why are you willing to chat nonsense with them endlessly? Enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by stars?"

"I need to know more about this country, so I don't mind wasting a little time on it." Mo moved his index finger slightly, and a black spark popped up and burned the stacks of invitations in his hand into a pile of ashes: "Those" There's more information in that bullshit than a commoner or low-level official could ever learn in a lifetime."

Ji Xiaodao pursed his lips imperceptibly, and snorted softly: "Okay, then today's reserved visitors are Marquis Griffin, Earl Parker, Mr. Justin, the person in charge of Troon Wanderer Hotel, and Kleinman Countess Ting, I hope you will stop acting so frivolous today, I'm not in the mood to be 'jealous' recently, and..."

"No need." Mo interrupted her softly, shaking his head and said, "It's enough. From today onwards, all such arrangements will be cancelled. Send someone to spread the news that the injury of the sinner has worsened and he needs to rest."

Ji Xiaodao froze for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions, just shrugged his shoulders: "So you already know enough about this huge empire?"

Mo didn't answer, but just asked casually: "Is there any progress on Gallows?"

"No, I just went there once last night." Ji Xiaodao sighed, spread his hands and said: "He has secretly found more than a dozen alchemists and friends in the magician's union, but what they can come up with is Most of the alchemy puppets and puppets are not as good as Luther's previous works, and the quality basically fluctuates between excellent and unique excellence, and there are not many excellent ones, and none of them can get epic."

Mo nodded slightly, signaling for the other party to continue.

Ji Xiaodao was silent for a few seconds, and then said with a strange expression: "There is also the player's 'wreckage', but the result is also nothing, let alone no one can restore it, those who are usually in the alchemist, engineer, The big figures walking sideways in the Magician's Guild can't even do basic analysis, and the few who can give clear conclusions are just talking nonsense and have no reference value at all."

What she said is not completely accurate, because even if those 'experts' who can be found by Gallows can't figure out Cordoba's rune body, they won't make any outrageous nonsense. In other words, The stuff they made up when they slapped their faces to make them fat still sounded like that, and even Garros couldn't be sure of its authenticity for a while, but...

Through the previous New Year's party, Ji Xiaodao not only knew the true identity of "that player", but also thoroughly understood his gaming career from Cordoba's first-person prose, and of course he also understood the meaning of the rune. The origin of the body, so under this premise, the conclusions fabricated by those 'experts' are particularly nonsensical in her eyes. As the old Ke said, his body was completely assembled by Master Lu Weilu with original materials. The ones that come out will never flow out to places other than Tianzhu Mountain, so those statements such as 'outer meteorite iron', 'cold pulse pole marrow', 'secret gold mine core', etc. are pure nonsense, so she simply said He directly told Mo the result he had guessed.

Of course, Ji Xiaodao didn't say that he and Cordoba had seen this in reality, not because of complicated reasons such as his position, but because he simply didn't want to talk about things other than the game.

What the girl didn't know was that the guy in front of her knew more than she knew. He not only knew Cordoba, killed Cordoba, killed Cordoba, killed Cordoba, killed Cordoba, wanted to save Cordoba but didn't have time to save Cordoba, and even had a good relationship with that guy from a certain angle. Not only did he help Cordoba complete tasks, but he often chatted nonsense with that guy every now and then.

But Mo naturally won't bring up this matter...

"It's expected." He just said something calmly, and then looked back at Ji Xiaodao: "Tell Garros to put this matter aside for a while, and secretly send Prince Kangda's housekeeper later." Please 'come here, don't draw anyone's attention, and let Galahatt cover him if necessary."

The dark elf girl raised her eyebrows: "Prince Kunta's housekeeper? So...you are fully prepared?"

"Of course not." Mo shook his head, leaned back on the back of the chair, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "It's just a small foreshadowing first, the fall of a certain Dharma god is in the overall situation. In fact, it doesn't matter, but the death of a prince..."

Ji Xiaodao narrowed his eyes: "Is it enough to be an ideal fuse?"

Mo raised his hand and tapped his mask. After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "You figured it out yourself?"

"No." The dark elf girl shook her head, took out a cup from her bag, and then summoned a dark flame and a clear water ball out of thin air, while making them dance with wind elements and shadow lines He replied: "That guy told me. Judging by your reaction, she must have guessed right."

Mo nodded slightly: "She is very smart."

Ji Xiaodao glanced at him: "You mean I'm stupid?"

Mo's face was expressionless: "Your question is indeed a bit stupid."

"Just saying it casually." Ji Xiaodao just replied casually, and then asked lightly: "Why do you want to keep her instead of choosing to kill or let her go."

Mo's patience today seems to be better than usual. He did not ignore the girl's gradually increasing problems as usual, but said absently: "I don't have that much time and energy to do everything myself, so I am happy to give those who have enough Useful tools Prepare some suitable positions and let them deal with troublesome people and things. No matter what the rules of the game are, there is a limit to what a person can do. I think you understand this truth .”

"Oh, I've always understood this truth very well." Ji Xiaodao replied coldly, she walked slowly to the other side, and looked at the face hidden under the mask with some complexity: "It's more surprising that you actually I understand, but maybe I can consider passing on to her the very apt description of 'tool' in your eyes."

"It's okay, she already knows her position very well, and she doesn't care about what I say." Mo completely ignored the faint dissatisfaction and threat in the other party's words, and said very calmly: "Her ability is necessary for me. And worth paying attention to, this is the whole reason she is willing to use for me, of course, if one day that person feels that I am no longer qualified to control her, then he will naturally spare no effort when trying to kill me."

Ji Xiaodao casually sprinkled a pinch of light gray powder into the cup, and asked leisurely, "Then will she wait until that day?"

"will not."

Mo shook his head, and replied flatly: "And she doesn't hope that there will be a day when that person doesn't want to control anything except herself."

A wisp of light smoke accompanied by a mellow aroma spread in the room...

"Yes, then you are really conceited enough."

Ji Xiaodao dissipated the flames in front of her, and put the cup that had just fallen in her hand in front of Mo, with an imperceptible blush on her face: "Here you are."

Mo casually picked up the cup and took a sip, then looked back at the former, "What is this?"

"A gift from Digory." The girl turned her face away and said in a low voice, "I remember you mentioned that you like coffee when you were chatting nonsense with them before, maybe he secretly remembered it."

"I see……"

Mo nodded noncommittally, put the cup back to its original position, and asked casually, "Do you still remember what I asked that person to do?"

"Uh... remember, it seems to be going to help some lord of the Violet Empire."

Ji Xiaodao's focus on the door flashed a touch of disappointment, but she quickly turned her head to look at the other party: "I've always been curious about how you know what happened there, are you going to explain now? explain the reason?"

"As I said, I need the right tools to help me deal with some troublesome people or things." Mo nodded, and slowly closed his eyes: "It will be a test for her to go to Violet, because there are some troubles over there right now. Although it has nothing to do with me, it is just right to test that guy's ability, but..."

Ji Xiaodao tilted his head: "But what?"

"However, something interesting has happened. If things continue like this, it may be too late when she gets there, so I'm going to help her." Mo lazily held his cheek and smiled rarely : "I'll tell you later, now go and tell Garros the arrangement I said before, and let him act as soon as possible."

The dark elf girl nodded, turned around and walked towards the door...

"correct."

Before leaving the room, she paused, hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Then am I also a useful tool?"

No answer came from behind.

The girl stood there for a few more seconds, then shook her head, turned into a shadow and quickly disappeared.

……

ten minutes later
Violet Empire, Dantisland, Eagle Oak
"Do you want to go to Salamune with us? No problem, ten silver coins will give you a ride."

A fat and strong lizard merchant smiled heartily, and rubbed his hands at the human woman in front of him who was about thirty to fifty years old: "It's cold now, and there aren't many caravans coming and going from here. , let’s understand each other, don’t be too expensive.”

The old-looking human woman looked bitter: "Ten silver coins...it's not much cheaper than flying an airship."

"Hey, don't say that. If you don't believe me, let's settle the score." The lizardman businessman smacked his lips, shook his head and said solemnly: "The closest airship to our place is the Black Gold City in the north. From here It takes a long way to get there, and only the goblin's airship is cheaper there. The dwarf's airship costs at least two gold coins to get to Salamune, which is twenty times more expensive than ours. The thing is cheap, [-] silver coins a trip, but do you dare to sit? The crash rate is [-]%! Just your small arms...thick arms and thick legs, but you can tell that you have no foundation at a glance, and it will turn gray immediately Let me tell you... and... Huh? Where are people? Scared away!?"

He raised his head abruptly, but there was still half a figure in front of him.

……

at the same time
Mo turned off the friend bar and message bar in his vision. He had just contacted that person, and he had already explained everything that needed to be explained.

then……

He stretched out his hand and gently brushed over the cold cup of coffee that he had only taken a sip of.

The black fire flashed, and the mellow aroma permeated again.

"Digory didn't send this."

Mo shook his head, reached out and picked up the cup in front of him...

"In my impression, it's been a long time since I've had a drink."
