Chapter 73: The Chamber of Secrets
Hearing this, Loukes felt a little sad, but he didn't dare to show too much, so he pretended not to know what was wrong. Feng Lun said what happened last night, but he just said that some unruly people had bad intentions and were caught by the 10th Guard Corps. These unruly people not only wanted to steal food, but also wanted to poison them crazy. If they hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid that the food would have really happened in Maple Leaf Province. At that time, not only Gui Chou and Feng Lun, but even Loukes would inevitably be implicated.
Loukes said skeptical practice and showed disgust for the so-called unruly people at the right time. Feng Lun said a few more words before Loukes finally remembered to invite the two to enter the hall to rest and began to discuss related matters about how to distribute rescue.
Let me first talk about the general situation of the Maple Leaf Province. In short, it is because of the war between the Empire and the Orc Empire that the Maple Leaf Province has now increased its demand for food and seeds. After preliminary estimates, it may take 10,000 dan of food and seeds to complete the spring plowing and short-term food and clothing problems.
Feng Lun and Gui Chou naturally would not give him food and supplies so easily. Although the Maple Leaf Province is large, there is not much land that can be used to cultivate. Due to the war, the empire once collected military rations. After the war, although there was no problem with the food and clothing of ordinary people for the time being, the main thing was spring plowing. After all, the time was there. After this season, it would be bad to plant another harvest.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be discussed by Gui Chou and Loukes, but everyone knows what happened last night, so they asked Feng Lun, who was not very close to both sides, to talk. Gui Chou just sat next to Feng Lun. He didn't care what the two of them were discussing, because he was still thinking about the mysterious organization.
There is something that Zero cannot even find, so Gui Chou is naturally even more unlikely to discover. Gui Chou is not sure whether this mysterious organization knows what happened last night and this morning. After all, the Tenth Guard Legion does not have the terrifying reconnaissance range and reconnaissance ability like the Orc Empire Wolf Cavalry. Even if the other party wants to come secretly, the people from the Tenth Guard Legion will not discover it, let alone the other party's ability is more than that.
The other party said that they would look at the strength of the 10th Guards Army. I don’t know if this is considered to be visible. If they beat the mountain and shock the tiger, the main purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is not only for lords like Loukes. The mysterious organization’s surveillance of Gui Chou also had to consider it, but I don’t know what happened. The other party did not respond to what he did. Gui Chou didn’t know whether they were still monitoring him, but there were many things that could not go smoothly with such a mysterious and unknown organization that still had no idea of the real intention.
Feng Lun was still negotiating with Loukes, but Gui Chou was already a little impatient to hear it. Loukes' state had calmed down. Gui Chou knew whether he knew or not, Feng Lun gave the other party a sign of no longer pursuing it. Now this fat and somewhat inappropriate lord was constantly complaining, and when he heard his nagging like a prayer, even Zero, who was resting in his consciousness, could not bear it, requested Gui Chou to leave the hall immediately.
"Boy, go quickly, I can't stand it anymore!" Gui Chou in his consciousness tore his hair hard. Seeing his constantly twisted and deformed face, Gui Chou, who was opposite him, couldn't help but laugh softly: "After all, you are a person who has been a pope, why can't you stand this kind of nagging?"
"This is completely different from that. It is a prayer made by believers to receive the blessing of the God of Light. It is beneficial to practice. This is obviously the noise. Is it good?" The entangled ghost crow still roaring, but the ghost crow on the opposite side was completely unmoved.
"Actually, this is also a kind of practice of practice, patience. OK, if you feel annoyed, you should rest. If I go out, the old man Feng Lun may not be able to hold on to this Loux alone. If he can't sleep by himself, then help me see if there are anyone here that I should pay attention to."
Knowing that no matter how you say it, Zero stopped his funny behavior and he definitely didn't know how to rest. Since Gui Chou had requirements, he would just check whether there were really people in this mansion who needed to be guarded against.
However, this kind of range sensing requires a certain amount of mental power, and zero is not enough, so it still borrows Gui Chou. Fortunately, this kind of borrowing Gui Chou has become accustomed to the pain of extracting mental power, but even so, Gui Chou's body still trembled uncontrollably.
"On ordinary people, huh, this figure is good. Oh, the ingredients in this dish seem to be put in a little bit too much. Hum... This person is... chopping firewood, brothers have to grind their axes often, they are so dull..."
Gui Chou suddenly had a black line in his head. Someone said Loukes' words just now. Now it seems that the more nagging person has only appeared. When Gui Chou heard Zero say that a maid's figure was OK for the tenth time, he finally couldn't help but return to his consciousness and roared at Zero's fury. However, it was Zero's turn to ignore Gui Chou, and his mental power had been borrowed. It was impossible to take it back. Gui Chou had no choice but to return it to his subjective consciousness. When he blinked, he found that Feng Lun and Loukes were both looking at him.
"What's wrong?" Gui Chou said hesitantly, his tone was a little hesitant, while Feng Lun said calmly: "Master Loukes asked you if you are feeling uncomfortable, because from just now, Master Gui Chou, your breathing is very rapid."
He shook his head and said that he was fine, but Guicu's body suddenly stiffened for a moment, but soon he covered up and slowly stood up, let Feng Lun and Loux talk slowly, and he planned to go out for some breathing by himself.
This kind of negotiation is the most exhausting. It is normal for a legion leader to stand this kind of tug-of-war dialogue. However, neither Feng Lun nor Loux expected that Gui Chou did not need to be breathable at all, because Zero found an abnormality in Loux's mansion, while Gui Chou went out to check it out on the excuse of breathability.
Of course, Loukes was not stupid either. A servant followed him with a look. Feng Lun also saw it, but he didn't say anything, but just continued to negotiate with Loukes.
"Can you control this follower?" asked Gui Chou. It is naturally not difficult for Zero to control a servant who has no ability, but Gui Chou's mental power has been consumed almost the same, and Zero himself estimated that the time he could control was very limited.
It doesn't take too long for Gui Chou. It's enough to give him a chance to get out, because Zero had just discovered that there was a secret room in Loux's mansion, which contained people who absolutely interested Gui Chou.
But who was the person? Zero didn't say that he just asked him to find him. How could anyone in Loux's mansion know who could be interested in Gui Chou? But Zero basically won't lie. Since Zero has said that, this person will definitely surprise or be interested.
Gui Chou continued to walk forward, but after turning the corner, the servant behind him began to stop slowly. After Gui Chou walked out four or five steps away, the servant's eyes were completely dull, his body seemed to become extremely stiff, and this state only lasted for a moment and disappeared. But when he looked up, there was no figure of Gui Chou. The servant was completely panicked and didn't know what to do for a moment. Loukes's lord's mansion was not big, but if he stopped Gui Chou, it might be wrong. After all, Gui Chou has a special identity now, and a small servant has absolutely no right to stop him.
"It's this?" Looking at a small door in front of him, Gui Chou turned around and looked at the guards guarding the door behind him. This was Loukes' bedroom. Behind a bookshelf in the bedroom was an abnormal space with zero sensing. Now the person who might be interested in Gui Chou is still inside.
"That's right, it's just here that your mental power is recovering quite quickly. Otherwise, it would be hard to say if I want to control the success or failure of these people."
Behind Gui Chou, six guards like walking corpses swayed and fell to the ground. Gui Chou didn't care what their identities were, and began to look for mechanisms that could open the small door. It was obvious that these people were not under Loukes, but brought by the person in the secret room. They were all third-level warriors, and these people were covered. Zero launched a mental attack when Gui Chou pushed the door. Along the way, Gui Chou's mental power recovered at a very fast speed. It was this abnormal recovery speed that allowed Zero to directly control these six people. The mental attack was invisible, and the warriors who focused on power naturally could not defend against this attack, so they all fell into the trap without exception.
"What level is the person inside?" It is not difficult to find the mechanism, but before opening the door, Gui Chou asked cautiously, "It is slightly stronger than the person outside, but he should have a certain ability to resist mental attacks."
Gui Chou frowned slightly, but he still opened the mechanism. The corridor was downward. According to Zero's induction, this corridor was first downward and then upward. The secret room should be outside Loux's bedroom, but it did not lead to another direction. Neither Gui Chou nor Zero could be determined.
After stepping into the corridor, Gui Chou found that the air in the corridor was very fresh and there was no smell of mold. It was obvious that the ventilation in this place was done well. The steps downward were not long. Gui Chou only walked ten breaths and reached the bottom. Then there was an upward step. Looking at each step that was not much different in height, Gui Chou knew that this secret room was definitely created by Loukes himself. He ate so much, so he was probably a bit laborious to walk even with such steps, right?
"Loux?" When Gui Chou slowly climbed up the steps, a voice sounded on the steps. Gui Chou was stunned at first, but still walked up several steps. When he walked up, he saw the masked man standing in front of him. Now the masked man was also looking at him, and both of them were shocked at the same time.
