Panacea Porter

Chapter 1037 Three Doubts
"First, you said that the selection contest of the city lord's mansion was held to save the city lord of Yanshan City, but is there any relationship between the two?"

"Secondly, the owner of Yanshan City had an accident, why didn't you spread the news to the imperial capital and report it to His Majesty Zhan Tiantengkong?"

"As for the third, what does this have to do with me? Why do you ask me for help? How can I help with things that the city lord's mansion can't handle?"

Li Ming expressed all the doubts in his heart, and he couldn't figure out these three doubts.

"Master Raphael, please be calm, there are reasons for these three doubts."

Nileia quickly explained.

"The first question, what does the trial of the City Lord's Mansion have to do with saving my father?"

"Of course there is. Since my father got into the ruins, our City Lord's Mansion has concealed the news of his accident and claimed that he is in retreat. Then, we found the three major families and inadvertently disclosed the ruins."

"With the joint efforts of the City Lord's Mansion and the three major families, we finally managed to find a weak point on the periphery of the ruins. With all our efforts, we can open a gap. However, this gap is too small to enter."

Neroia's words made Li Ming understand what was going on.

To put it bluntly, the selection contest of the City Lord's Mansion is just a pretense, and getting a good ranking from the selection competition of the City Lord's Mansion and being able to enter the ruins is even more of an excuse.

The City Lord's Mansion intends to use the selection competition and the opportunity to enter the ruins to attract many strong people to participate in the selection competition. The purpose is to find more seventh-order powerhouses.

After all, those who can get a good ranking in the trials are definitely the top players.

With the joint efforts of these powerful people, it is possible to open the gap even wider, so that people from the City Lord's Mansion can enter the ruins and rescue Tusiiya.

However, this also contradicts Li Ming's second question.

If Tosia is in danger, the City Lord's Mansion can completely pass the news to the imperial capital and seek Zhan Tiantengkong's help.

Not to mention hundreds of thousands of seventh-tier powerhouses in the imperial capital, there are always thousands of them. This is much more reliable than using trials to find seventh-tier powerhouses.

Especially the [-] guards that Zhan Tianqi vacated, they were all strong men at the beginning of the seventh rank, plus the top ten strong clans, one hundred great clans, and countless races, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there were tens of thousands of strong men at the seventh rank .

For those of the City Lord's Mansion, why should they go far away and engage in this so-called selection competition for the City Lord's Mansion? This delay has dragged on for half a year.

"Lord Raphael, as for the second doubt, alas, this is not only a crisis for the City Lord's Mansion, but also a crisis for Yanshan City and the entire Thunder Empire."

Neroia sighed, and the tears fell down cheaply.

"On the third day after my father's accident, a mysterious strong man appeared in Yanshan City. It was because of the appearance of this strong man that we couldn't ask the imperial capital for help."

"What strong man?"

Li Ming's pupils shrank for a while.

The City Lord's Mansion still has three deputy city lords in the late seventh stage sitting in command. What kind of strong man can prevent the City Lord's Mansion from asking for help from the imperial capital.

"We don't know, but what we can tell is that this strong man is very strong and has hostility towards the Thunder Empire. After that strong man appeared, he restrained the City Lord's Mansion from having too much contact with the emperor. Even the information reported to the imperial capital is not allowed to have anything about the border, only good news and not bad news."

"Maybe it was because we were afraid that destroying our city lord's mansion would arouse the vigilance of the imperial capital, so this strong man did not kill us. We also tried to secretly pass the matter of our father back to the imperial capital before, but before we could pass it on, the other party Found."

"For this matter, we killed five elders, and even the three deputy city lords were almost wiped out. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was worried that there were spies from the imperial capital in Yanshan City, and that the sudden killing of the deputy city lord would attract the attention of the imperial capital, I guess three The life of the deputy city lord can no longer be saved."

The second question has also been reasonably explained.

If you guessed right, this mysterious strong man most likely came from the Great Dawn Empire.

The Chenguang Empire sent masters to ambush and kill Tosia, in order to control the City Lord's Mansion and thus the entire Yanshan City.

Once a battle is launched, Yanshan City will change hands immediately, catching the Thunder Empire by surprise.

However, the Chenguang Empire was obviously not sure of defeating the Thunder Empire before, so it has not been in a hurry to fight, but chose to paralyze the Thunder Empire, hoping to find a suitable time to make a move.

And this is right up against the false saint of the Night Cat Clan.

The Morning Light Empire didn't know when it would reach an agreement with the Sun Never Set Empire and was ready to do something. That's why it let the fake saintess attack the top executives of the Thunder Thunder Empire at Li Ming and Li Ming's wedding banquet.

However, it was precisely because Li Ming saw through the conspiracy of the false saintess that Zhan Tianteng interrogated the false saints, and only then did he learn of the conspiracy of the Chenguang Empire and the Thunder Empire.

In fact it is.

Under the interrogation of Zhan Tiantengkong, the false saint confessed to the border of Yanshan City, and the army of the Chenguang Empire was about to move.

This is in contradiction with the news that Yanshan City has reported good news but not bad news in the past six months, and never mentioned any changes in the army of the Chenguang Empire. Because of this, Zhan Tian Tengkong launched an intelligence network to confirm who reported the news from the fake saint and Yanshan City Lord's Mansion. It was true, so he suspected that Tosia had betrayed the Thunder Empire and asked Li Ming to come to Yanshan City to investigate.

All of these are interlocking.

"So, the one who really controls Yanshan City is not the City Lord's Mansion at all?"

"Yes, our City Lord's Mansion is now just a chess piece of the other party, a puppet, and we must obey the other party's orders in everything we do. The selection of the City Lord's Mansion is already an opportunity we have tried our best to win. The main thing is Because Deputy City Master Longyan told the mysterious strongman that the selection competition of the City Lord's Mansion is held every time, and there is no omission, if it is not held suddenly, it will easily arouse suspicion from the outside world, and then it can be held smoothly."

Neroia explained, speaking of this, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

The majestic City Lord's Mansion now actually depends on other people's faces to act, this is simply a big joke.

"Then what does this matter have to do with me? Why do you ask me for help? My strength is not as high as the three deputy city lords. It is impossible for me to fight against that strong man?"

Li Ming became curious about the strength of that mysterious strong man. What kind of strength could make the three deputy city lords at the late stage of the seventh rank feel a headache, and they could do nothing but obey orders.

"Of course not. Although Lord Raphael is powerful, that mysterious strongman has reached the peak of the seventh rank. Only my father can compete with him. We found you, sir, and we want your help. My father was in dire straits."

Neroia was afraid that Li Ming would not believe him, so he quickly added: "That's right, the ruins are all restrained by the entanglement of inscriptions. Mr. Raphael, you once described the epoch-making inscription device. It has already spread throughout the Thunder Empire, your knowledge of inscriptions can be said to be the best in the line of inscriptions, only you can hope to break the restriction."

To put it bluntly, Neroia valued Li Ming's ability to refine the inscription device.

Although the city lord's mansion held a selection contest and found many seventh-order powerhouses, who can guarantee that this method will definitely open a gap in the ruins.

The appearance of Li Ming gave everyone in the City Lord's Mansion a second hope. If the selection of the City Lord's Mansion fails, Li Ming's inscription level may be able to create hope.

"I understand, but I have one last question, how do you know I'm Raphael, have you seen me?"

This was Li Ming's last question. He couldn't see any flaws in Nileia's answer before. The only thing was that the other party knew he was Raphael.

Even if the other party knew that he was from the imperial capital, but there were too many people in the imperial capital, why should they send Raphael? How could the other party be so sure of his identity.

"Master Raphael, don't you know?"

Neroia looked at Li Ming, but showed a surprised expression.

As he spoke, he took out a newspaper from his pocket.

The Ormond Newspaper.

The headline on the front page of the newspaper was the scene where Li Ming refined an epoch-making inscription device, and Arsinoah came to beg Li Ming.

This made Li Ming confused, and he helped his forehead helplessly.

He finally knew how Neroia knew his identity.

The newspapers clearly stated everything about him.

"Strange, didn't His Majesty Zhan Tian Tengkong say that he would help me remove the news from the "Omon Newspaper" to prevent my identity from being exposed?"

Li Ming was very helpless. This "Omon Newspaper" was published because he was the inspiration for the various races in the Thunder Empire.

However, Li Ming was entrusted by Zhan Tiantengkong before. When he left the imperial capital, Zhantian Tengkong patted his chest and promised not to let Li Ming's identity be revealed. Even the "Oumeng Newspaper" was ordered by Zhantian Tengkong to reprint That's right.

"This newspaper was sent by a friend of mine in the imperial capital. Except for some news about Yanshan City that cannot be passed on, there is no restriction on what we can receive."

Neroia explained.

Zhan Tiantengkong did follow the agreement to prevent the circulation of all news, and even the first issue of "Oumeng Newspaper" that had been printed was forcibly destroyed by him.

But there are still a few newspapers that have been circulated, and one of them happened to be in the hands of Neroia.

However, due to a problem with the quality of the printing, Li Ming's photo was not obvious, so the fat and thin duo first made indirect remarks to test Li Ming's identity.

What Neroiya didn't know was that the first issue of the destroyed "Omon Newspaper" would be sold at a sky-high price in the future, and it would become a collection that many collectors dream of. Of course, this is a later story.
