"Mr. Li Le, can I take a moment of your time?"

Said Sith suddenly launched an attack.

"It's a pity."

Li Le dodged.

Sith withdrew his weapon expressionlessly.

"What does it mean?"

"I was just trying your strength."

"Why do you want to try?"

"For, in the future."

Sith's sword, if he reacted a little slower, he would probably open a skylight on himself.

As far as the test is concerned, it's too much to leave. Although I know this guy doesn't like me, but I don't want to take my life.

"Just now I felt that you were murderous."

"If you die at this level, you are just an ordinary person, and you are not qualified to be Lord Lukius."

She hesitated to speak, and fell silent all of a sudden.

Sith opened the door, and the two walked in.

It seems that it is faster to ask Lukius directly.

Li Le followed Sith to a certain room in the mansion.

"You are finally here, Li Le." Lukius said; "Is this your first time here"?"

"Yes."

Lukius gestured for Li Le to sit down.

Sith stood vigilantly in a corner of the room.

"You don't seem happy?" Lucius asked.

"When I came here just now, a woman said that she wanted to test, and it almost killed me."

Hearing this, Lucius frowned: "Sis, what's going on. '

"I'm just testing it out."

"Don't talk to yourself."

"I'm very sorry." She apologized respectfully, but who knew what she was thinking.

"Li Le forgive her, you are not hurt?" Rukius said.

"Hmm. Rather than apologizing, I'd rather know why the test?"

Sith, who was questioned, looked at Lukius without saying a word.

Lucius seemed to know what was going on.

"I have an important task for you, which cannot be given to ordinary people."

"What a coincidence, I also have something to say."

He came here just for this matter, and the only person he can rely on is a nobleman like Lucius who can find out the secrets of this city.

"Although it may not help you, but if you don't mind, I can listen."

"I've already told you the truth about the floating city. The saint can't rely on praying for the city to float in the air. You said that the investigation has progressed. How is it now?"

Rukius crossed his arms and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said: "I found some, but I can't tell you easily. '

'Then say what you asked me to do. "Li Le said, he knew that the matter was of great importance, and Lucius would not tell himself all that.

"It makes sense." Lukius smiled and said: This task is very dangerous, and I will tell you all about it when it is completed. "

"It's interesting. Are the reasons for the commission kept secret?"

It seems that by completing the task, you can know the secrets of the city.

"You know the woman nicknamed Mad Dog, right?"

"Ah."

That very powerful woman who takes orders from Bernard.

The rabid dog known as Baruchis is so unpredictable that it can be seen to the point of terror.

"So that's why I was tested."

"Ordinary people can't beat it, but you can't beat it either." She deliberately sarcastically said.

"That is to say, if you defeat the mad dog, you will tell me what I want to know?"

"It's just that everything I know is fine."

"This kind of task is divided into a deposit and a completed part according to the management remuneration. First, you must prove that you have really obtained the secret of the city's truth."

"I know, but if you stop, you can't help but refuse, do you want to listen?"

"If it's nonsense, I have reason to refuse."

"Li Le, I don't want you to be in danger easily, I will help you."

"It gives me goosebumps why do you trust me so much?"

"Of course, if you plan to betray, I can't help it. For example, it's about Tia."

"Are you planning to use her as a human will?"

'Of course if you intend to betray, I can only do so, so I hope you keep your word. "

"I won't let you suffer."

As expected of such a young and powerful nobleman.

But it doesn't matter, for me, a simple person like Tiya is difficult to deal with.

"Well, if the opponent is a mad dog, I'm also a little interested."

"But first, let me hear your part about the city's secrets."

"Okay, then let me tell you about the deposit. Do you want to know the reason why this city is floating in the air?"

"Ah."

"As far as the conclusion is concerned, I'm not very clear. The secrets of this city are firmly in the hands of one person, and that person is the apex politician Barut."

Li Le remembered that Rukius had said this name before.

"This person is the big shot right now, the one who controls this city."

"It is the king and the nobles who maintain the operation of this city. In order to use his own status, the Zhenggong wins the nobles to his side. In other words, the Zhenggong actually rules the country."

"Then, does that guy know the secrets of the city?"

"That's it. He hid the city's secrets in a high cabinet, and those who wanted to reveal the mystery were excluded. So I have been secretly exploring the city's secrets."

"Oh, what about the result?"

Lucius took a deep breath; "The big collapse more than ten years ago was probably caused by humans."

"What!" Li Le was stunned for a moment, the misery was man-made.

"Could it be Barut!?"

"It is certain that he participated in some way. He has been conducting research in order to investigate the power of this city floating in the air."

"Although I am also investigating alone, I can't make a big splash in front of Barut. As I said just now, he is very sensitive to this matter, and we will be attacked by his minions anytime, anywhere."

"That is to say, if we continue to investigate, we must first shut up the watchdog?"

"Yes, I personally don't like to actively attack rabies, but for safety, it's good to have a strong person by my side."

"In other words, you want a bodyguard."

'Yes. '

If Lukius continued to investigate, Rabid Dog might take action, but at the same time, he would get a lot of information.

"Okay, I agree, what to do to continue the investigation."

"Balut is domineering and has made many enemies. I am gathering people who hate him and preparing to let him step down."

"Use of force if necessary."

Said great things lightly.

"You never thought that I might betray you?"

"Even if this is the case, you won't be able to unlock the city's secrets, if you're willing to stay in the dark."

"The current nobles are rotten to the core. It's not just that if Barut doesn't overthrow his faction, this country will have no future."

"You have seen the big collapse with your own eyes, do you understand? The reason why it has been ignored is because of Barut's order." Rukius said.

"Barut."

Which means that guy is the culprit.

"If we don't catch them all, nothing will change."

"A change of arms may be very dangerous."

"There is no other way. In fact, people who disagree with him cannot be promoted at all."

"That is, do you want me to come?"

"It's going to end up like this."

"Do you think I'll agree?"

"We have the same interests. If we don't fight, we won't be able to find the secret."

"Assuming what you say is true."

Lukius thought about it: "Then, I will show you something tonight, and I can prove that what I said is true."

Chapter 289

Rukius said: "That's all I can say now. I can't give you more detailed information without further investigation."

"That's it."

Although it was difficult to tell the truth from what Lukius said, he was able to tell the things that would make Barut step down.

It's still impressive, if this matter is leaked, even Lukius will not be able to get out of it unscathed.

Even if it was a lie made up for self-help, it would have an adverse effect on him.

If you think so, Rukius is still trustworthy. On the other hand, if what Rukius said is true, then the city's secrets should be hidden in the royal city.

It would be difficult to solve the puzzle without Lukius as a backer.

"Well, if it's just a bodyguard, I'm still interested. If I can solve the mystery of this city as a bodyguard, I will do my best to assist."

"But I'm sorry, as for whether to join your side, it still depends on the situation."

"Now you just need to be the bodyguard, please Li Le."

Lucius held out his beautiful hand, wanting to shake it.

Although I haven't trusted him to that extent yet, I still have to express it formally.

"I'm counting on you too."

Li Le held his hand, and an unbelievable feeling came to his heart from his hand, as if something deep in his heart was beginning to peel off.

What's going on here.

"What's wrong."

"fine."

Li Le quickly let go of his hand.
