MC's career as foreign lord

"The mole's position obviously wouldn't be very high. If they were high up, they should know about the enhanced combat power of this kind of priest!" Zhou Ren continued to analyze. This was the first point.

It really wasn't easy to analyze so much from simple data. Taking advantage of the night and the stimulation of green tea, Zhou Ren said the second point very easily.

"Second, it's Locke's battle. He should have been restrained or even defeated, but he received the warhammer I gave him!" Zhou Ren said.

Locke suddenly realized and took out the warhammer, handing it to Zhou Ren. "It seems that the lord's weapon can enhance more than just combat power!"

There was more to his words than met the eye, but Zhou Ren pretended not to hear it. Letting you use it is already good enough, you still want to take my stuff?

"The quasi-legend who should have restrained the town elder was blocked, so they had to release a high-level two-headed giant to stop him!" Zhou Ren analyzed calmly, "Then their strategy for the town elder also changed from solving to delaying! The high-level combat power link was a mistake!"

"In that case, you were never held back, so you were able to join the battle, right?" Shia said, she also analyzed some things, "Then it seems that the remaining situation is not the focus you mentioned, but the previous chain reaction!"

"Ah! Why did you start too?" Anna looked at her best friend with a bewildered expression. We agreed to be listeners together, how did you quietly get on the podium?

"The princess is right, the subsequent chain deaths of several orc high-level professionals are actually a series of chemical reactions!" Zhou Ren nodded, mysteriously.

"The third point I want to say is actually another battlefield!"

He looked at Auster, "If I'm not mistaken, the ones fighting you should also be multiple high-level professionals, right?"

Auster nodded, "Yes, there are four high-level professionals in total, two hobgoblins and two kobold priests!"

"That was a bitter battle!" Even Quillion had to admit that this might be the most difficult battle they had ever fought!

Zhou Ren smiled, "No matter what, you all survived successfully, right!"

"Relying on your help, and some suddenly appearing skeletons, we successfully defended the line!" the two said.

Zhou Ren looked at Mosa with a puzzled look. The elven mage nodded slightly, indicating that everything was under control!

He then regained his composure. So it seems that he has everything in his hands, "The mole doesn't know about the skeleton ambush there, which leads to the last point!"

Zhou Ren raised his eyes slightly, "Although I really don't want to say it, I still have to reiterate, killing that legendary priest was really an accident!"

As he expected, the others all showed disgusted expressions on their faces. Are you still pretending?

Only Mosa looked like he believed it, but as Zhou Ren's servant, he couldn't possibly come out to prove Zhou Ren's innocence, what would that look like?

Shia, Anna, and Della, the three high elves even put their faces together, showing an awkward smile, the general meaning is: Whatever you say! We'll take it as the truth!

"Alas!" Zhou Ren sighed. He always felt that he wouldn't have a peaceful day after today...

"Alright!" In the end, Locke came out to smooth things over, "Since Lord Zhou Ren has said so, everyone has cleared their suspicions now, right?"

Zhou Ren also nodded, "I just don't know, where is the scribe?"

"I sent him to your territory to comfort the people..." Locke suddenly exclaimed, "Not good, he will use the lives of the people to threaten us!"

"My territory?" Zhou Ren smiled slightly, "Let's go?"

If it were in other places, it would be difficult for him to deal with it, but since this is his own territory, then there will be a lot of fun to watch.

He took Mosa out first, and the others had no choice but to follow. No matter what, those people could not be abandoned.

You need to know that in the current world, even if you despise the gods, that group of people will not care about you, a small blasphemer.

But if you move his believers in front of a god, then you may die miserably!

And as a subordinate of the gods, if you fail to ensure the safety of his believers, you will inevitably be punished.

This has become a universal准则 on the continent, so Locke is so nervous.

In this era where everyone cares so much about believers, if they really mess this up, even if the gods don't pursue it, whether it's the empire or the Holy See, they can't afford it.

This is not a simple cause-and-effect process, but a fixed plan where you can almost think of the result as soon as you see the beginning.

So they can only slowly follow Zhou Ren. At this time, they can't think too much, they can only look at the crowd now to see if there are any major problems.

The group walked out of the camp tent where they were chatting and walked to the many guards who were still standing tall in the strong wind.

Even though so many things have happened, even the strong wind has slowly dissipated!

But time can smooth out all the scars, the sun rises in the distance, the wind stops, and it dawns.

All the soldiers just nodded slightly after seeing them, without any intention of letting them pass, while the mercenaries were already cleaning up the battlefield, which is also the default rule.

Since they participated in the battle and completed their mission well, even if they were slightly拉 跨 in the middle of the battle, they can still be recognized, which is what the victors deserve.

So Locke generously handed over the work of cleaning the battlefield to them, with the people from the Mercenary Guild responsible for the deployment, and the mercenaries directly participating in the recovery of the corpses and the distribution of the spoils.

Of course, all the people who died in battle on the elven side have been collected in a very standardized manner, and their bodies will be sent to the capital of the elven empire, which is Silvermoon City, for burial.

This is actually a high-level etiquette for the soldiers who died in the war. Anyway, the astral world is not short of area, and all believers have a chance to ascend to their god's kingdom after death.

In this case, being able to collect the corpses can make more soldiers have a very high sense of belonging to the empire. This plan is worth it no matter how you look at it.

Zhou Ren had a better understanding of the elves' arrangements, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

They didn't stay in this area for too long, and soon walked directly into Zhou Ren's territory, then passed through his farm, pond, river, and came to the forested area.

This is actually one of the drawbacks of his territory. Except for the plain in the middle, there are large mountains across a river, and there are actually many high hills and mountains blocking both sides of the plain.

Only after crossing this area can you come to another relatively flat location, which is the location facing the town. Because the mountains and forests are too high, the trees on it have not been cleared yet, and it doesn't look very good at this time.

But the only advantage of this area is that it is covered with dense forests and other things, which can effectively shield the view, so there is no need to worry about what he does here being seen by people outside.

From a distance, they saw the people in the town, who seemed to be arguing and looking at the elven soldiers with great dissatisfaction.

However, the situation they were worried about, where the people were being held hostage, did not occur.

The few of them exchanged glances, each seeming to have a plan in mind, and then stepped forward.

"What exactly is going on?" Locke asked, and the soldiers also looked at him innocently, seemingly a little at a loss, surrounded by so many people.

However, the people of this country seemed to still know a little about reason, and they did not resort to much violence, but merely surrounded them and questioned them.

It was precisely because of this that Locke did not mobilize anything when he arrived, but instead asked very gently.

Their formation did indeed look quite large. Several high-level professionals arrived almost at the same time, which meant that there would not be any power here that they could not suppress.

"Lord Town Chief!" One of the soldiers quickly said, "After learning that the battle in the town was over, we did want to return to our original place as soon as possible, but this place suddenly seemed to be closed off, and we have no way to get out!"

"So that's how it is!" Locke glanced at Zhou Ren without leaving a trace. "Then what exactly is going on now? Where is the scribe?"

He himself did not notice that he actually used the term 'scribe' instead of directly calling him by name. It was at this moment that Zhou Ren noticed something was wrong.

"If you put it that way, even if he were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't show up!" Zhou Ren said.

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Post!

He glanced at the soldier in front of him and changed the way he asked, "Let me ask you another way. When was the last time you saw the scribe?"

Now that the scribe had disappeared without a trace, they could basically conclude that this abruptly disappearing fellow, even if he wasn't a mole, should not be an ordinary guy.

"It should have been some time ago, right? It seems like the scribe has been missing for a while!" the soldier said, thinking slightly.

Then he raised his head again, "I remember! About a quarter of an hour ago, the scribe told us that he was going out for a while and left something for you, sir!"

"Something?" Locke was stunned. "Bring it up and let me see!"

Only then did the soldier slowly hand over a box, "He told me to give this to you!"

"Wait!" Just as Locke was about to open the box, he was stopped by Zhou Ren.

"He's not an ordinary guy. What if he gives you a bottle full of traps?" Zhou Ren said, his eyes flickering slightly as he looked at the soldier.

"What's your name? Which district are you a soldier from? How many people are in your family? What do you usually do at home?" He asked in great detail. The soldier, who had been answering fluently, suddenly stammered.

"How could an ordinary soldier know..." Zhou Ren suddenly locked onto his body, "So many things?"

Zhou Ren looked around, "There are two priests from the temple here. Don't tell me you gained his trust! Even if it's item safekeeping, you shouldn't have been taught that!"

"Show your true colors, scribe!"

At the moment his words fell, everything seemed to be finally confirmed. The ordinary soldier in front of him twisted for a while, and then, under the strange and cautious gazes of the crowd, slowly turned into another guy.

It was that young and harmless-looking scribe, Eden, but at this time, there was no fear or naivety on his face, but endless arrogance.

And the box also fell from his hand and turned into a human skin. If it had reached Locke's hands, it might have been some kind of special curse!

Della stepped forward and a flash of green light destroyed the human skin!

"I should have known you would be the ultimate variable!" The scribe said, a few traces of resentment flashing across his originally handsome face, making his expression hideous.

"Eden..." The expression on Locke's face was slightly complicated. Although he had some doubts about his deputy, he did not expect that the other party was actually the culprit.

Eden looked at Zhou Ren, not even looking much at Locke, "I didn't expect that I would still be one step short in the end. Why is it always you?"

Zhou Ren asked, "Why can't it be me? Since you want to plot against me, then you must be prepared to be killed by me!"

He waved his hand, and the solidification became even heavier, "I want to see your true face. Such a cunning guy shouldn't be a human or an elf, right?"

"Hahahaha!" Eden laughed, "I've been lurking in the Elven Empire for 20 years, but I was seen through by you, a guy who's been here for less than a month. Hmph! We'll meet again!"

As he said this, he seemed about to cut off his own breath, but his actions were forcibly interrupted, and even the aura that seemed about to explode was forced back.

Zhou Ren raised his hand, "If it were in other places, I really wouldn't have a good way to deal with you, but this is not other places!"

He directly used his authority to prevent the other party from doing anything in this area, and then said to Locke.

"Lord Town Chief, you can evacuate the people!" Zhou Ren said, circling around the scribe, seeming to want to see a flaw.

"Sir, can I say a word?" Among the crowd, there was actually a person who was not being directed by the soldiers to leave, but walked against the flow of people to them.

Zhou Ren raised his head and found that it was Henry, whom he had seen for the first time. This guide seemed to have finally mustered up the courage to say, "Lord Zhou Ren, I know what's wrong with him!"

"Oh?" Zhou Ren smiled, "Tell me, Henry!"

"My knowledge is shallow, and I hope everyone won't laugh if I say something wrong!" Henry said, "The last time I went with him to buy your house, I saw him do something!"

"He said that this house was not a particularly good choice, so he hoped you wouldn't buy it!" Henry looked at Eden, whose face once again showed a very resentful expression.

"So he threw a scroll directly into the fireplace and told me that it was a useless scroll and it was just right to put it out!" Henry explained, "But I heard the wailing in that scroll!"

"You damned human, I should have killed you first!" Eden could no longer stabilize his body and gradually changed into another appearance in the air.

"Sure enough, it's a demon!" Zhou Ren smiled, "Let's see what you want to do!"
