Ding Kui looked at Ding Zhong and suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, you reminded me! Yes, yes, this is a good idea."
Ding Zhong was confused and didn't know what to say. He wanted to ask but was afraid of losing the clues. "Don't worry!" Ding Kui patted him on the shoulder. "Keep looking for clues. I'll give you a more relaxed deadline. Find the real murderer quickly.
It’s good to avoid committing crimes and make meritorious deeds.”
"Oh! Well, how much will the deadline be relaxed?" Ding Zhong was mixed with joy and sorrow.
"Well, I'll tell you after I think about it." Ding Kui did not specify a time limit.
He has to wait for a report result.
"Based on this clue, Sun Er can basically identify that the mastermind behind Jingjing's assassination is from our own country." He rushed to report to Jiang Tong immediately.
Jiang Tong's punishment was no joke.
Ever since Jingjing was born, Ding Kui could clearly feel that his status in his grandfather's mind had been relegated to second place. If he couldn't handle Jingjing's assassination, his grandfather would teach him a profound lesson.
"How can you see it?" Jiang Tong was quite suspicious.
"First of all, if you dare to touch Jingjing, you must be prepared to bear your wrath. Looking at my enemies in the country, there are no such stupid people. They must save themselves first.
Secondly, the mastermind wanted to blame the incident on Lu Guo, which shows that he is not afraid of Lu Guo's revenge if the matter is exposed, and can also benefit from the conflict between me and Lu Guo.
Finally, this operation was relatively secretive and left us with few clues, indicating that the mastermind did not want me to know and was somewhat wary of me.
My enemies in my country meet the above conditions, such as the Zhao family. They are not afraid of you or Lu Guo, and they don’t want me to know and undermine my country’s next actions.”
Ding Kui's analysis was sound and logical.
There is some truth to this statement. In fact, it is indeed possible for the Zhao family to do this, and Ji Man is also a suspect that cannot be ruled out.
"Are you sure it's not Zijia or Yangfeng?" Jiang Tong believed most of it.
"Mr. Fei has been keeping an eye on people from the Zi family and Yangfeng. If they did it, there will definitely be clues. So high-risk things should not wait until I have a son."
Jingjing's death would not mean much to his family and Yangfeng. It would only create a powerful enemy for the Jiang family, so Ding Kui did not think it would be them after repeated deliberation.
"Regardless of whether we still have to beat Zijia and Yangfeng, and find out the mastermind behind it as soon as possible. I want to meet this person personally."
The punishment crisis was lifted and Ding Kui escaped.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhong reminded me to find a scapegoat, otherwise my butt will be ruined!
In fact, he couldn't be sure which country the mastermind was from. Although there was a high probability that he was from his own country, it was also possible that he was from his own country. The other side of the Tongyuan River could basically be ruled out.
Very few people know the secret of Jingjing's "artifact". Only people who have been paying attention to Ding Kui for a long time may know something about it. They should have a relatively high degree of hatred.
It has to be said that this assassination attempt on Jingjing was just one step away from success. Success and failure also brought prosperity. Without prosperity, Jingjing would not be able to be separated. With prosperity, he would not be able to escape his bite.
After that, Jingjing could no longer ride Wangcai out of the Earl's Mansion. At most, she wandered around the mansion and occasionally scared a few young maids to tears.
The foundation part of the Magic Tower was declared completed, construction on the first floor started, and more craftsmen joined the construction team.
Jingjing once again rode Wangcai out of the house, but her father sat behind her.
Ding Kui took his daughter to inspect the magic tower project.
This time the Magic Tower uses new construction technology. The pillars are made of reinforced concrete, with floral rocks as the outer walls. Magic mud is filled between the stones and pillars, and between the stones, so as not to reduce the conductivity of magic.
"Hey, the building is above the ground, it's not slow." Ding Kui saw a circle of stones on the ground, and the bottom of the magic tower was already higher than the ground.
"The outer wall must be at least one meter higher before a floor can be laid, otherwise it will not be able to hold up the beams on the ground floor." The ink tool also came.
The new technology was proposed by him, and when the project reached certain nodes, it received on-site supervision.
"Does the first floor need to be renovated before adding a portal?" Ding Kui's question exposed his status as a rookie.
"After the ground is completed, the defensive formation can be activated to arrange the portal." Ruan Xingzhu poked Ding Kui from behind with his finger.
"Why isn't it in the construction manual?" Ding Kui didn't remember this content.
"In the early days, the magic tower did not need to be equipped with a portal. It was an internal matter of the Magic Association, so it was not written in the manual." Li Fei was also an insider.
"What a trap!" Ding Kui blurted out.
The magicians next to him all laughed, and a knight complained about the Magic Club, whose style of painting was too novel.
"When do the people from the General Assembly plan to come? The portal will be installed at the beginning of next month at the latest. They won't let me wait until next year, right?" Ding Kui was too lazy to explain.
Li Fei looked at Ruan Xingzhu, Ruan Xingzhu looked at Ding Kui and then looked at Li Fei, "Isn't it right? You have no contact?" She felt the questioning eyes of the two pairs.
This time it was the turn of Ding Kui and his wife to look at each other, both showing negative looks.
"I'm embarrassed. Do I need to write an application?" Ding Kui didn't know the process at all.
"Hahaha." Huang Wan ran over, "I knew you didn't understand. I contacted the teacher for you and will come next month."
This alleviated the awkward situation.
"No problem, the ground layer will be completed before the end of the month." Moji gave the time node.
The first-layer defense array was contracted by Huang Wan. It was an earth-based array that required conversion of magic power, which happened to be what she was good at.
It is much more convenient to establish a teleportation gate. It can connect the Earl's Palace and the Princess's Palace in a simple teleportation array. The three places can realize instant communication of messages. In the future, Ding Kui will not have to rush to Nanjing when he travels far away. It will be more convenient for people from outside to come to him.
.
Theoretically, this magic tower can also connect the state magic branches of Meng and our own country, making the exchanges between the three southern countries closer.
It's just that magic in various countries always has regulations. In order to avoid sneak attacks from other countries, cross-border communication of portals is prohibited. Even if the connection can be refused in one direction, teleportation coordinates cannot be added.
Ding Kui specifically studied with Ruan Xingzhu, whether the private lord's magic tower can be an exception? The final conclusion is that it depends on the attitude of the Magic Association.
The construction of the new technology was very fast. It only took three days to build the main frame. Cai Ran transferred a group of magicians from the county guild and cooperated with Huan Qiao's people to fill the magic mud and seal it in one day. Cai Ran used fire magic that night
After baking the magic mud, Huang Wan began to carve the defensive formation the next day.
As the main person in charge of arranging the portal, Fang Chen arrived at the Magic Tower construction site earlier than Ding Kui expected on December 1st.
"You are the most courageous lord in the kingdom in the past hundred years." He was very satisfied with the scene. "You dare to spend such a large amount of money without the support of the elemental magician.
Just having Li Fei in charge of the magic tower is not enough to resist the attacks of high-level monsters, and with Ruan Xingzhu's full cooperation, he can barely protect himself, so your efforts are very risky."
Originally he disapproved of Ding Kui's construction of the magic tower. Hengfu City was on the edge of the swamp and could easily attract high-level monsters to destroy it. However, the senior leaders of the Association did not object, so he turned a blind eye. Only the senior leaders knew about the Giant Sheep City.
There is a legendary knight.
"I'm just afraid of high-level monsters, so I quickly built this magic tower. At worst, I'll spend a lot of money to hire a seventh-level combatant to help."
"Haha, if someone else said this, I would definitely turn around and leave, but I kind of believe what you said. I heard that a seventh-level warrior was promoted in your house not long ago." Fang Zhen didn't feel that Ding
Kui is fooling himself.
"You are really well informed." Ding Kui didn't explain much.
"There has never been a seventh-level warrior in the history of Shenyuan Continent. You have the opportunity to create even greater miracles." Fang Zhen believed that Cha Yang was promoted with Ding Kui's help, which is not far from the truth.
"Thank you! Master, you didn't just come to praise me, right?" Ding Kui smiled until there were only two slits left in his eyes.
"I really have something to discuss with you." Fang Zhen still had a smile on his lips.
"Master, please tell me, Huang Wan's teacher can also be considered as my elder."
"You come from Pingzhong County, you should know the Pingzhong County Magic Guild. It is similar to this place but also different. I always hope that you can learn from the Teng family and merge the Magic Tower and the Magic Guild." Fang Zhen paid great attention to Ding Kui's expression.
.
"Okay, I will allocate the surrounding land to the Magic Guild." Ding Kui didn't care.
"You don't understand what I mean. This place is a little different from Pingzhong County, mainly because of the large swamp, so there is always a hope that the magic guild will be moved into the magic tower, just like Tianmen Town. Just ask Ruan Xingzhu."
As soon as Fang Zhun mentioned Tianmen Town, Ding Kui understood that the Magic Association wanted the Hengfu City Guild to station in his magic tower.
"The guild moved into the magic tower? Is the place too small?"
Ding Kui was thinking quickly: What impact will this have on me? Can I sneak in and out of the magic tower...
"It doesn't matter if the space is smaller. The guild can put the parts that are not commonly used in Giant Sheep City. Looking at the basic parts, your magic tower will not have too few floors."
"Well, the plan is to build ten floors, but the Magic Guild is not included." Ding Kui hadn't calculated the gains and losses yet.
"It's completely sufficient! With the Magic Guild in the tower, security will be greatly improved. If there is an attack by a high-level monster, the local guild leader can notify the guild as soon as possible, and there will always be time to dispatch experts to support you. You don't have to worry in the future.
A high-level monster."
Damn it! This honest man knows how to dig a hole and went around in a circle waiting for me.
Ding Kui felt like he had fallen into a trap, "This way, you can also use the magic tower for free." He finally saw clearly the intention of the Magic Association.
"Haha." Fang Zhen looked apologetic, "It's not like you don't have any benefits if you take what each other needs. The association can promise that only disciples of Master Gongliang's lineage will serve as the local president." This is the exchange of the Magic Association.
condition.
"A white wolf with empty gloves, that's great!" Ding Kui realized that his little cleverness was not enough in front of the Magic Association.
"Magicians are not a group that only cares about profit. I myself have done a lot for your territory. I hope you don't pay too much attention to profit." Fang Zhen looked sincere.
"Okay! I accept what you say. Magicians are not businessmen and cannot be viewed from a secular perspective. I have no objection to the Magic Guild moving into the Magic Tower, but I have a request." Ding Kui held out a finger.
