Li Ming's story about the mass murder of the Cangjian Village was not under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Regiment, but the Imperial General seemed particularly curious.
"The situation is like this..." Li Ming told in detail how he discovered the abandoned cottage, the corpses of thousands of people piled up in the cottage, and the discovery of the resentful demon soul.
"There is such a thing!" The imperial general frowned in surprise.
"I was asked by the Resentful Demon Soul to help her track down the real culprit of the tragedy that year, so I troubled the general." Li Ming said.
"This matter is not that simple. In any case, the Hidden Sword Village is a craftsman affiliated with the Imperial Regiment. More than a thousand people in their entire village were massacred, but this matter has never been known to anyone. Could it be that someone deliberately blocked it?
I heard the news, even this general heard about it for the first time today." The Imperial General frowned and said.
"General, what you mean is that someone deliberately caused this murder and deliberately covered up the truth of the case?" Li Ming asked in surprise.
"This general, I am just guessing about this matter. If someone is really secretly planning this matter, then even if you go to the City Lord's Mansion, you probably won't be able to find any clues." The Imperial General said.
"Ah..." Li Ming was stunned for a moment.
"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire first. If you don't have any clues, take this token and go to the General's Mansion in the south of the city. Hidden Sword Village was under the management of the General's Mansion in the south of the city. Maybe there are others in the Emperor's Regiment.
Some records." The imperial general waved his hand, and a golden light flew in front of Li Ming...
Li Ming's package immediately contained a golden general's token.
Imperial General Order: system props, mission consumption props.
…
"Thank you, General." Li Ming nodded excitedly.
"Go ahead and find out everything about this case." The Imperial General nodded and smiled.
Whoosh!
The plot dialogue interface disappeared and Li Ming returned to the normal scene. Fan Hua had been waiting for a long time.
"What's going on, Brother Ming? Do you have any clues?" Fan Hua asked.
"I took on a new mission and asked about some requests from Yunyan Village..." Li Ming told him the situation just now.
"Good news, this means that you have received a series of tasks with an exclusive plot. This letter clue actually has such a follow-up plot..." Fan Hua said in surprise.
"Let's go to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion." Li Ming followed the advice of General Zhenguo and continued walking towards the outer city with Fan Hua.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in a large square in the outer city. It is a centralized area for players to activate various management systems when they are active in the outer city. There are various administrator NPCs in the City Lord's Mansion to help players manage their finances and accounts.
and other core areas of functionality.
The two of them first came to the center of the outer city through the teleportation array, then crossed a street and entered the central square, standing in front of the gate of the magnificent city lord's palace complex.
The largest building complex in the entire outer city is the City Lord's Mansion.
This is a building complex with three or four entrances to the courtyard, numerous buildings and exterior walls, and the tall steps and solemn gate at the entrance make it very impressive at first glance.
The two walked up the steps and entered the door, and an open courtyard appeared in front of them.
Two rows of buildings are arranged in a straight line at both ends of the courtyard. Two rows of NPCs are located in front of these two rows of buildings, while the city lord is on a high platform in front of the backyard gate far away from the courtyard.
He quickly walked through the courtyard and came to the high platform where the Lord of the City was. In front of him was a tall and thin elegant middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and a golden crown. On his head was a colorful name... Destiny Imperial City: City Lord!
Li Ming quickly opened the dialogue plot...
Whoosh!
"Brave warrior, it's clear, what do you want from me?" the city lord asked.
"Dear Lord City Lord, I came here to inquire about all the information about the Hidden Sword Village." Li Ming asked directly.
"I haven't heard about the situation of the Hidden Sword Village for a long time. It has only been a year since I took over the position of City Lord. I don't know much about this village." The City Lord shook his head and said.
"Is there any record about this village in the city lord's mansion?" Li Ming asked.
"Don't worry, I'll look it up for you." The city lord nodded, and a light flashed in his hand, and a thick book appeared. He searched the book, and seemed to be checking the situation recorded on it.
Li Ming could only stand there, quietly waiting for new news to appear...
"I found it. The first generation owner of Hidden Sword Village was a general from our Destiny Empire. He was rewarded with territory for his military exploits. Since then, he built Yunyan Village and brought some veterans injured on the battlefield to settle in the village. From then on, Yunyan Village
The cottage began to make weapons and armor for the Imperial Regiment, and it has always been one of the forging workshops of the Imperial Regiment... But from 30 years ago to now, they have no longer served the empire..." The Lord of the City seemed to have found some clues.
"Since 30 years ago, does the City Lord's Mansion still have any specific records about the Hidden Sword Village, such as cases and other records?" Li Ming asked quickly.
"No more. The file about the Hidden Sword Village has been completely blank since 30 years ago. I don't know why you are so curious about the Hidden Sword Village. Has something happened?" the city lord asked in confusion.
Sure enough, there is no information!
Li Ming's heart tightened. It seemed that what the imperial general said was right. Even the city lord's palace had lost all information about the Hidden Sword Village.
"Thank you, City Lord. Not only did the Hidden Sword Village help the Imperial Regiment build weapons and armor, it is said that there is also a divine sword hidden in the village. Is this true?" Li Ming asked.
"According to the records, the first founder of Hidden Sword Village was a general of the empire. He once participated in the battle with the Chaos Empire. Because of his outstanding military exploits, he was promoted to the general level, and because he killed many people in the battle.
He once defeated the demon god of the demon clan and captured an extremely powerful long sword, so he was awarded territory by His Majesty the Emperor in recognition of his meritorious service. This demon sword is the main reason why Hidden Sword Village got its name." The Lord City Lord nodded.
said.
"There is indeed a divine sword in the Hidden Sword Village, or it was seized from the demon clan... What is the situation with this divine sword?" Li Ming was overjoyed. Although he failed to find out the case information from that year, he still found some
Regarding the situation with Excalibur...
"This sword is called the Xuan Mo Sword, but the details are not explained in the file." The city lord replied.
"Is this the only information you have here?" Li Ming asked speechlessly.
"Yes, there is only such a short piece of information about Hidden Sword Village." The city lord nodded.
"Understood, thank you Lord City Lord." Li Ming knew that if he continued to ask, he would not get any news. Moreover, judging from the age of Lord City Lord, he was only thirty or forty years old. At his age, he would definitely not know about Hidden Sword Village thirty years ago.
What happened...
After bidding farewell to the city lord, Li Ming briefly told Fan Hua the situation. Taking him with him, Li Ming continued towards the military camp in the south of the city...
