Doomsday Mage Summons the Undead.

Chapter 261 White House and the Mayor

The heavy rain gradually stopped and the bright moon hung high.

In a blind corner of a street somewhere in Steam Town, Qi Lin's spiritual phantom clone suddenly opened its eyes.

"Let's go find the mayor."

Qi Lin moved his body and walked towards the mayor's residence at the southernmost end of the town.

Lao Jiu, who was wearing a tattered cloak behind him, followed suit.

The town is very quiet at night, except for the noise of some transportation vehicles, it is basically quiet.

Qi Lin felt that this should be related to the mayor closing the factory.

Of course, this also has something to do with Qi Lin's route of action avoiding some entertainment venues.

On the deserted street, Qi Lin and the undead walked leisurely on the street with few pedestrians.

At the corner of the street behind him, two knights of the Flower Guard were wearing casual clothes, observing Qi Lin with their heads poking around, and following him.

Naturally, their actions cannot escape the detection of ghosts.

It can be said that in this town, except for a few places with magic defense traps that were not forced into by Qi Lin's order, basically all the disturbances could not be hidden from the detection of the ghosts.

"Master, those two are still following us."

Ghost Lao Jiu was playing with the dagger, laughing and asking Qi Lin who was walking in front: "The school said they are the mayor's people, do you want to kill them?"

Qi Lin, who was walking ahead, was thinking about the relationship between the mayor and Natasha. When he heard the old nine's inquiry, Qi Lin immediately thought of the conversation with the ghost boss.

"Are you crazy?" Qi Lin suddenly turned his head and stared at Lao Jiu and said angrily: "They just want to see our details, and you want to kill them?!"

"Do you think I'm a murderer?"

"Master, Lao Jiu realized that he was wrong." Lao Jiu, who was unsophisticated and unsophisticated, had a trembling voice.

"My f*cking hostility has nothing to do with you!" Qi Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Old Ten, just find a quiet place for those two to sleep!"

The interlude-like farce ended quickly, because Qi Lin came to the southernmost side of the town, a white church-like house.

The house is surrounded by a variety of delicately blooming golden tulips, as well as various wheat crops that don’t seem to go together.

This is the mayor's private residence.

Behind the high-rise glass windows of the white room, under the dim light, there is a figure holding a book and carefully reading it.

Maybe that's the local emperor of this town: the mayor.

When Qi Lin stepped forward, he was about 500 meters away from the white room.

The letter that Apostle Natasha sent to him that Qi Lin put into the space ring automatically emerged from the space ring!

The letter automatically appeared in mid-air, swaying left and right like a compass, as if it was looking for something.

Soon, the letter pointed to the white room surrounded by various plants and crops.

Qi Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and confirmed that Natasha's letter was indeed addressed to the mayor!
This means that the mayor does have a relationship with Natasha!
After the letter pointed in the direction of the recipient, it slipped into Qi Lin's hand covered by the cloak again, and once again became an ordinary letter.

"I hope this mayor can bring good news about the inn."

Qi Lin led Lao Jiu and strode towards the white room. As expected, he was quickly blocked by some of the mayor's guards.

"stop!"

A flower knight jumped out of the darkness. Just as he was about to pull out the standard steel sword, he heard someone shouting from a distance: "Be bold! Don't be rude to the guests!"

When Qi Lin heard this, he saw that he was the deputy commander of the Flower Guards. The deputy commander whose name Qi Lin could not remember walked out of the white room.

Qi Lin didn't have a good impression of these Flower Guards.

So when the deputy commander jogged all the way to Qi Lin, he took off his helmet very respectfully, made a ceremonial circle in front of him, and then bent down to salute.

Qi Lin didn't even look at him, he just glanced at the knight who just shouted out the word "stop" in anger.

At this moment, the knight saw the deputy commander's humble posture and knew that Qi Lin's status was extremely valuable, so he quickly knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Qi Lin ignored him, didn't even look at the deputy commander, and just walked straight towards the white room.

I came here just to get information about the station from the town, not to punish criminals and eradicate evil, nor to show off that I was the messenger of the apostle so as to show off.

After the deputy commander saw Qi Lin strolling away as if he were entering his own home, instead of showing any anger, his expression became more respectful. He stood up and bent down, following Qi Lin from a distance, as if he was ready to accept Qi Lin's request at any time. Rin's order was to run errands for a guest whom the mayor said was extremely valuable.

Golden tulips bloom around the white room, which is beautiful and peaceful.

The appearance of the house is simple and exquisite, with immaculate white walls and blue curtains hanging on the windows, giving it a sense of tranquility.

Qi Lin approached the house, and he immediately noticed that there were strict defense measures around the house, and many guards were ready to guard the owner of the white house, either openly or secretly.

All around the house, ancient stone pillars surround the house.

There is also a wall around the house. Walking in through the door opened by two servants, Qi Lin found that the main road in the courtyard was paved with small stones. In this way, anyone approaching the house would make clear footsteps.

Qi Lin walked all the way into the house, surrounded by overt or covert guards and the gardeners who were walking through the courtyard and working hard to take care of the tulips. They all knelt on the ground respectfully, with their heads buried deep in their knees. They seemed to have obtained the gift in advance. Some kind of order, and I didn't dare to look at the sound of footsteps.

When he walked into the arched door of the living room of the white room, Qi Lin found that no one dared to look at him.

Opening the door, Qi Lin stepped into the room. The sight in front of him was beyond his expectation.

He originally thought that the residence of the mayor, whose public opinion in various reports was not very good, should be extremely luxurious.

However, the fact is not only that, but it has gone to another extreme.

The mayor's living room is bright and spacious, with soaring ceilings, and the walls are covered with bookshelves filled with books of all kinds.

Qi Lin approached a bookshelf and found that the books here covered various fields of knowledge.

Among them, Qi Lin noticed many books on astronomy, astrology and sociology.

Rows of thick scrolls were stored on the bookshelf, their covers beautifully inlaid with gold edges.

Qi Lin pulled out a book, the pages of which exuded a faint fragrance of ink, as if they had personally witnessed the passage of time.

The decoration of the room is simple and elegant, like a huge library.

Elegant chairs and tables are placed between the bookshelves for people to rest and read.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows shine through the books, adding a mysterious and warm atmosphere to the whole space.

Opening a few books at random, Qi Lin was surprised to find that these books seemed to be about various fields of his civilization before the disaster.

Including enlightenment books for young children, as well as nine-year compulsory education, the weaknesses of human nature, and even selected works of Mao and so on.

Qi Lin looked around in silence, and found several huge maps hanging on the wall, one of which was a map of the starry sky, marking the positions of various constellations and planets.

Judging by a star map similar to a spoon, Qi Lin thinks it should be the Big Dipper?

It seems that this town is much more interesting than he imagined.
Another map records the social structure and population distribution of a certain place, as well as the timeline of historical events.

These maps demonstrate the homeowner's keen interest in astronomy and sociology.

In addition to books and maps, the room also contains some ancient scientific instruments and astronomical telescopes.

The tiny pendulum of the clock echoes through the room, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and focus.

Qi Lin noticed that there were still a few photos hanging on the wall. The photos showed a person with a round face but smiling eyes full of wisdom.

thump thump.
The sound of unhurried footsteps came from above the turning stairs next to the library-like living room.

Qi Lin turned his head to look at the turning staircase covered with red carpet.

An old man in elegant clothes came slowly, put his hands on his chest and said to Qi Lin: "Dear guest, please be considerate. The mayor has some physical inconvenience, distinguished guest, please come with me."

Lao Jiu, who was behind Qi Lin, curled his lips, as if he was dissatisfied that the mayor did not come down to greet the master in person.

Qi Lin, on the other hand, stepped on the red carpet without expressing his opinion.

While walking slowly on the staircase, Qi Lin glanced at several locations in the library out of the corner of his eye.There are several magic traps there.

[Trap]: Magic Perception Network.

【Quality】: Blue.

【Status】: Inactive.

Note: This defensive trap can detect surrounding invisible creatures by emitting special magical sensing energy.

Once an invisible creature is detected entering the sensing range, the trap will emit an alarm signal to alert the trap setter or activate other defensive measures.

[Trap]: Bound by light and shadow.

【Quality】: Blue.

【Status】: Inactive.

Note: This type of post-trigger attack trap uses the power of magical light and shadow. Once an invisible creature is sensed, the trap will immediately emit a powerful beam to illuminate the area where the invisible creature is located and restrain it.

The restraint effect will render it unable to move freely, giving the defender time and opportunity to respond to the threat.

[Trap]: Magic rock wall.

【Quality】: Blue.

【Status】: Inactive.

Note: This defensive trap can quickly create a solid rock wall after being triggered, isolating the surrounding area.

If the target enters the range of the trap, it will be trapped within the wall and cannot escape or attack.

[Trap]: Magic incineration circle.

【Quality】: Blue.

【Status】: Inactive.

Note: This type of post-trigger attack trap will produce high-temperature magic flames within a certain range after being triggered.

After the invisible creature enters the trap range, it will be attacked by fire and its position will be exposed.

The heat and clinging magic of the flames can effectively eliminate invisibility, allowing defenders to react quickly and take further action.

There are many similar traps in this white room.

This once again reminded Qi Lin that caution is the basis for surviving in this extraordinary world.

Interestingly, these traps were activated before Qi Lin entered the white room.

The turning staircase was not long, and under the guidance of the waiter, Qi Lin quickly came to a study room at the top of the white room.

The mahogany double doors of the study room opened wide, exposing the contents inside to Qi Lin's eyes.

In the spacious and exquisite study room, dim light shines on the wall, casting warm light and shadow.

The study room is elegantly and tastefully decorated, and the bookshelves are filled with many ancient and precious books for most people in this world.

In the quiet atmosphere, an old man sitting in a wheelchair looked particularly dazzling.

The old man is dressed in a rich and traditional aristocratic attire.

Wearing an exquisite top hat, he looked like a magnificent gentleman, ready to welcome the most important guest in his life.

His hair was graying, and his delicate face was engraved with the marks of time.

The slightly turbid eyes revealed wisdom and tranquility, as if they had witnessed the baptism of countless years.

The old man sat in an exquisite wheelchair. The seat of the chair was made of carved oak, and the soft velvet cushions made him sit comfortably.

On the desk in front of the wheelchair, there is an ancient porcelain vase, in which a tulip with gorgeous magic patterns is placed quietly.

The charming fragrance fills the study room.

When the petals unfold, they look like thin red threads undulating slightly in the night light.

The scent of tulips filled the entire study, adding a pleasant fragrance to the night air.

The old man quietly admired the tulip with a slight smile.

He stretched out his slender fingers and gently touched the petals of the flower, as if he were touching a precious work of art.

His eyes are deep, revealing his love for nature and beauty and his cherishment of life.

The old man is the mayor.

He is also the emperor of this land.

This is different from the speculation of residents in the town who could not see the mayor.

No bags under the eyes, no rooms filled with naked grace.

There are no all kinds of weird props to satisfy your fetishes.

Some only have an old man sitting in a wheelchair, reading quietly behind a desk.

The old man looked at Qi Lin at the door, his eyes a little disappointed for a moment, but full of enthusiasm.

The wheels on his wheelchair made a faint rolling sound and occasionally crossed the carpet, allowing him to move freely around the study.

"I'm ill and can't greet you from far away"

"I'm really sorry."

The mayor stretched out his hand to invite Qi Lin to sit across from the desk. At the same time, he struggled to twist his body with limited mobility and gently opened the curtains of the window next to him. In the process, he waved his hand to stop the waiter who wanted to come forward.

The cold night wind blew in through the windows.

This made the old man cough uncontrollably.

Qi Lin looked like a young boy who was just starting out. Without any polite greetings, he took out the letter directly, put it on the table, and pushed it gently.

After doing this action, Qi Lin didn't say anything, just watched the mayor's reaction quietly.

As for the mayor, after seeing the letter, his eyes once again revealed a fleeting look of loneliness.

The letter seemed to have lost its extraordinary power, and was gently opened by the mayor like an ordinary letter for inspection.

This made Qi Lin, who thought he could know some secrets, a little disappointed, but that was all. What he wanted to know most was whether the mayor knew where the inn was.

As time goes by, the one-page letter
The mayor looked slowly.

But Qi Lin didn't rush him, he still had some patience.

After a while, the mayor after reading the letter gently folded the letter in half, and then placed it carefully in his pocket.

The mayor looked at Qi Lin with complicated eyes. He was silent for a long time and suddenly turned his head to look at the moonlight outside the house.

Then, under Qi Lin's observation, he lowered his head and sniffed the carefully prepared flower on the table. For this flower, the mayor paid a huge price and invited the palace magic pattern master of the city lord of the city of yellow sand to cultivate it. It took 12 years to cultivate it. It took me a lot of time to cultivate it quietly, and then I got such a flower.

While the mayor was lowering his head and sniffing, there was a shining tulip in a cup on the table.

In this late night of waiting for more than 30 years.

Scattered like pieces.

This is not caused by the wind.

It is scattered naturally.

The mayor's face also turned pale in an instant.
