  Chapter 415 Beware of ghosts! (13)

   "Of course not, Elder Manya, the guide knight was hunted down, we just reached out to help him out."

  Feeling the weak breathing of the boy on his shoulder, the elf bachelor was also a little embarrassed. This plan was completely conceived by Xiou, but it had an effect, and they did help Ian escape the enemy's pursuit.

  Benefactor of… somehow? Anfa is not too sure, after all, they can guarantee that the boy will not be injured. But no one can say for sure.

  —Looks like I need to add a few more points to the guide knight as compensation.

   "In short, his physical injuries are not serious, but his internal organs are slightly disturbed by the enemy's essence, and he needs to rest."

  Thinking of this, Anfa also gave Xiou a sideways glance, then shook his head, returning to a rational and calm demeanor.

He said to the elders of the mountain people: "I originally planned to disguise myself as a tourist to find you, but this action unexpectedly allowed me to avoid danger. There is an inner ghost in Nauman City who leaked the news. If I hadn't been on the boat in the first place, I'm afraid The name is now on the wanted list."

   "Is there a ghost, that's a problem...but let's not talk about that for now. Take this new friend away, he needs our help."

  Elder Manya was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "The risk is very high, but I can see that this kid is a smart person...he will understand, we are helping him."

And Siou squatted aside and muttered: "It's normal to help him when he is injured, I don't know if he can't beat him, who knows if he has any cards and potential, so he counter-killed the pursuer with his backhand? "

   "What's more, he has dragon's blood. This minor injury will heal after a few days of recuperation. My mother taught me this way..."

"That's enough, you are a dragon, how dare you compare with us? And what we need is a friend, not a simple accomplice." Elder Manya stepped forward, knocked Xiou on the head with his bone staff, causing the other party to hug his head and exclaim: "You'll have to apologize to this new friend afterwards."

   "And now, take him to the sacrificial room and let him regain consciousness."

  Ian attended the whole process.

  —It seems that the plan is very successful, and I didn't expect that the Dragon Worship is so harmonious? To feel guilty for letting me get hurt?

  To be honest, when he heard this, the young man almost felt a little guilty in his heart—he finally pretended to be a breach of defense, but these people regarded it as his fault, and it was really hard to hold back.

   At least it proves that these three people are not bad, and it is also a good thing.

   Next, he was carried by Xiou to the sacrificial room.

   "Hey, I have already warned him that someone is chasing him, he didn't believe me, he was hacked, can you blame me..."

  On the way, the red-haired dragonborn was still muttering: "I was going to help, but he insisted. I think this should be called asking for trouble, and it's not my fault, right?"

   "Do you think so?" He actually asked Ian.

  —It really doesn’t count, you’re right, I asked for trouble.

   And Ian also answered silently in his heart.

Soon, Xiou put him in a quiet room at the foot of the mountain. The smell of medicine here was very strong. It should be the mountain people's clinic and pharmacy. Although the dragonborn complained, he still helped Ian remove the broken body. The unbearable alchemist's armor even checked the wound on his back.

   "Isn't it good to heal on its own?" Xiou nodded with satisfaction: "Take a good rest—but let me tell you, your injury this time is really not a bad thing."

   "The guardian of the Canaan Moor Sea of ​​Misty Trees, Master Oak has also come to Nauman City. He is very sensitive to the breath of all natural life...including dragon blood."

   "If you want to run to Nauman City, at least you will have to be imprisoned for a period of time. Find out your origin and whether it has something to do with us... That's not good."

   "But if you are really related to us, you can hide your dragon blood instead, so you won't be punished! Haha, do you think the human world is strange? They clearly understand this truth, but they just want to torment unrelated people."

  Xio is indeed a chatterbox, or in other words, he has his own opinions on many things, but usually there are few people who talk, so he will talk as much as possible whenever he has the opportunity.

   "Hey, why is there a goblin in your hair?"

  Suddenly, Xiou raised his voice, looking very surprised: "Mother is right, there must be little goblins around the big goblin... But this is a bit too small... Hello? Can you understand me?"

  Frost Butterfly emerged from Ian's hair. It didn't sense that Ian was in danger at all, so it had been sleeping in a daze just now, and only woke up now.

   After realizing that someone was talking to him, he flapped his wings proudly: "Da da!"

   "I don't understand... It's a pity that my mother doesn't let me keep pets, otherwise it would be nice to have someone to talk to."

   teased Shuangdie for a while, and after the little goblin went back to sleep, Xiou nagged the unconscious Ian for a while, and then left the sacrificial room with satisfaction.

   And Ian counted the time and listened to the sounds around him.

  Two hours later, there was a noisy conversation in a remote place outside the sacrificial room.

  He wakes up, then enhances his perception with a silver chip.

"The Marquis of Barton asked us twice why we attacked Double Tree Town. I explained to him that we did not attack. On the contrary, we rescued the wizard knight. Someone else attacked him and planned to plant us in the head Up—it’s his inner ghost.”

"Of course, the Marquis also said that it was the Dragon Worship Cult called by the knight guide himself. The person from Canaan Moore was discovered. Since there is a planted target, it must be thrown on our heads... We have to eat this blame , and send the guide knight back as soon as possible. In return, he will secretly release the captured fools, if we can find out who is the ghost on our side, and who attacked the guide knight , it was their inner ghost, so he let them all go."

This is the voice of Elder Manya, and Xiou asked suspiciously: "Why did you let it go, the team at Canaan Moor has an insider, and caused such a big trouble, Candleholder and Master Oak I ran over, I wish that all these people would die, the mother who made it up would waste time on acting..."

Anfa coughed: "Be careful, I'm also from Canaan Moore. As for who the ghost is, I already know who it is. Fortunately, they don't know that the whole boat is a bait, and the real thing is On my body."

  —Is the Marquis of Barton related to the Dragon Cult?

  When Ian heard this, Ian was not surprised, he was not surprised at all.

   Even far more than the Marquis of Barton.

For example, Mr. Yinfang, his attitude towards the Dragon Worship Cult vaguely foreshadowed this possibility—it was a dragon 'intending to attack' Nauman City, but the old man just ran away because he thought the sewers were blown up and the city smelled bad. To Twin Trees?

  Even if he doesn't know the truth behind it, he must know that the local Dragon Worship Cult will never really launch any attacks.

According to what the other party said, he had entanglements with Dragon Worship in the past... Ian even suspected that the chamber of commerce that Mr. Yinfang belonged to was disbanded back then, maybe he joined Dragon Worship collectively, and the reason why he could become a big businessman when he returned to Nanling There must be factors in this aspect to receive the courtesy of the nobles.

   If there is no accident, the recent chaos in Nauman City was all discussed by the Dragon Cult and the Marquis of Barton.

Anfa and Xiou are not nervous at all about the big drama in Nauman City, and Anfa even ran directly to Double Tree Town after seeing the dragon shadow. There is such a leisurely mood.

   And Xiou's mother should be the dragon that flew out of the Baisen Mountains.

   So here comes the problem.

  They teamed up to pretend such a tense atmosphere to confuse or deceive whom?

   "The imperial capital... Canaan Moor... all the forces that are not local."

   "In other words, the 'inner ghost' who has infiltrated the Nanling nobles-sublimation group!"
