Monarch of Evernight

It's a massive shake, not just in rooms, but in hotels and even in Lingang City. The walls of the room cracked and cracked, and there was dust on the ceiling.

Thousands of nights crashed into windows, looking out, and at the end of the horizon, in the slums of Port City, a shack had begun to collapse. This shack, which is extremely rugged from workmanship to structure, cannot resist the shaking power of the earth at all.

“Earthquake? ”

Ding Shiheng was not shocked, shook his head: “It's not an earthquake, it's just an earthquake dragon that turned itself over and soon passed. ”

Surely, the earth wobbled but lasted for a few minutes and gradually stopped. Even so, there are not a small number of houses that have collapsed and been damaged throughout Lingang City, although the vast majority are concentrated in slums.

In fact, Lingang City as a whole is very poor. If it is not clearly identified, it is difficult to distinguish between slums and normal urban areas. Only in the aristocratic district where the main city is located are some of the major cities as they should be. Moving together, however, it became apparent that most of the collapsed houses were in slums and urban areas rarely occurred.

Immediately after the earthquake, people were busy. Some are cleaning up ruins, some are recycling materials, others are healing the wounded, everything is organized and organized, obviously similar situations have happened many times, even the lowest level people have seen no surprise and know how to deal with them.

Those shacks are very simple, basically a few columns and a roof shelf, and the roofs and walls are made of thin wooden slabs, with little loss if collapsed. Even when buried in rubble, it can easily be rescued. This kind of shack can be built again in less than a day.

And this hotel, where thousands of nights are situated, and the surrounding obviously much better residential yards, are mostly supported by steel structures, and in the shaking of the earth, most of them just create some inclination, so that a three-to-four person can correct the steel structure and reconstruct it. As for the finishing of the walls and ceilings, that's a simple thing for ordinary people to do. In addition, since furniture is also the simplest type, there is no loss of damage.

Soon after shaking past, a waiter knocked on the door. Instead of coming in, he said outside the door, "Guests, please don't panic. Soon someone will fix the damage to your room and everything will be back to normal before dinner. ”

After that, the waiter went to the next room and was notified to the guests.

At this moment, the earth is still shaking slightly, and at night it is acutely discovered that on some of the muddy land exposed to the outside, the ground swung like a wave of water. Though insignificant, it is clearly not what an earthquake should look like.

“Ground dragon? What is that?" Thousands of nights are more of a refrain than an interest in the existence of a city that can cause tremors.

This is obviously no secret in Lingang City, and Tin Shiheng replied without hesitation: "It is a legendary giant creature hidden deep in the earth. There are also void beasts, but no one has really seen them. Every once in a while, it flips or dries, and now it's just a slight flip, and if it dries every few years, it lasts for a few days, when most of the coastal city collapses. ”

Thousands of nights have come to understand why the city's architecture is so peculiar, designed for ease of reconstruction. The source is obviously the turnover and dryness of the dragon. Of the city as a whole, it appears that only the main city and aristocracy are permanent buildings. Other buildings, even using steel frames, have difficulty supporting years of dryness.

Thousands of nights the eyes were blue and looked in the direction of the main city hall. In real view, the entire noble building is covered with faint force shine and protected by a protective area. The city owner's palace is even more bright, with a layer of light covering the entire palace and the construction of a Force Shield. It was in the Empire, and the pen wasn't too small.

Seeing these, there is a renewed awareness of the power of the owners of Lingang. In a neutral place, there is not enough strength to protect such tremendous wealth.

At that time, many people in the city poured into the streets, gathered in a road flow and hurried out of town.

“What are they doing? ”

Ting Shiheng said: "They were all hunted. Every time a local dragon flips, some unique creatures are driven from deep underground. Rainbow fish and stingrays, for example, can only be caught at this time. ”

Rainbow fish and stingrays are a specialty of Lingang City and are popular not only because they taste great, but also because eating more can enhance the perception of the Force, thus slightly increasing the cultivation speed. And for the demons, their deliciousness is almost irresistible and an important part of the smuggling trade.

In addition, when local dragons move dry, rare specialities deeper underground are driven to shallow ground, which is the only chance to hunt them. It was then that we understood why we had to rebuild our homes once in a few years, and so many people had to settle in Lingang City.

When asked about the distribution of the main forces in Lingang City, Ding Shiheng was allowed to leave after receiving all the information he needed.

Ting Shiheng, a groundsnake in Lingang City, arrived at the hotel the next morning. As soon as he entered the room, his arrogance disappeared and he stood respectfully in front of the thousand nights, blinding himself to the eyes beside him and to Juggie.

The news he had brought had frowned a thousand nights and said, "Are you saying that an old man with the right characteristics did come to Lingang City, but disappeared the next day after seeing the Xue family? ”

“Yes, the dwarf activated all the dark lines on his hands and could not find his whereabouts. There are news speculations...” Ting Shiheng peeks at the mystery of the thousand nights. After all, the Xue family is huge enough for him to be involved in these big families, and even the simpler things will become incredibly complicated.

“Go ahead. ”

“On that day, the Xue Guards were said to have made an unusual move. So some speculate that the Xue family may have taken Old Choi away. ”

Thousand Nights frowned slightly, "Has this news been verified by the Xue family? ”

Ting Shiheng cautioned: “As a small man, my lord, I can only reach the lower and middle Xue family. They didn't know anything about it. It was possible that the Xue family had nothing to do with it. The other possibility was that the matter was confidential in the Xue family, and not many people knew about it. If that is the latter possibility, there is nothing that the dwarf can do. ”

He nodded and said, "Okay, I get it. Tell me where the Xue family is, and if possible, get me a map of the Xue family. ”

Ting Shiheng stood up and said: "Little man, let's do this. ”

In the evening, Ding Shiheng had sent the map of Xue's house. I have to say, this groundsnake is still pretty good at his job.

With location and maps, preparation is sufficient. When the night was quiet, Thousand Nights and Night Eyes left the hotel and disappeared into the night.

Xue's mansion is naturally built in the aristocratic district, but it's not that big, it's just a three-way street. The so-called "not big" is just a luxury house in Lingang compared to other cities. In the aristocratic district, every building must be equipped with an array of forces capable of counteracting the dry motion of the dragon, even for the face, so as not to cause damage to the compound. So when the house gets bigger, the force array runs out.

Until then, it was clear that this Xue residence was inhabited by a side branch of the Xue family and was supported by personnel stationed there. The Xue family has a number of properties inside and outside the city, which are under its jurisdiction.

Thousands of nights stand not far away, gauging this mansion.

Xue's walls are wide, and the style of Imperial National Architecture is less than one-tenth the size of a real family, much less the size of Zhao Valve's mansion in half a city.

“Go inside and take a look.” A thousand nights greeted Night Eyes, jumped up and landed on the courtyard wall.

Through Ding Shiheng, he knew at this moment that Xue's most powerful civil warrior was Xue Hai, the owner of the bypass branch. As a Class 13 warlord, defending the Xue family's interests in Lingang City is more than enough.

It was late at night, most of the lights were out in the compound, several guards were patrolling back and forth and two dark posts were set up. Such guards are considered negligent, and most irregular mercenary adventurers are inexorable. But of course, it was a thousand nights, and he jumped up and silently ran over the head of a group of guards and into the back house.

Night vision also fell by the side of the thousand nights, sweeping the back of the house, pointing fingers at the main house.

A thousand nights nodded and came to the door, the red light flashed in his hand, the blood sucking blade cut off the inner door lock, making only a very slight sound. But this voice has woken the people in the room, drinking, “Who is it? ”

Pushing the door open for thousands of nights, the night eyes rushed lightning into the room, placing the blood sucking blade on the neck of the man on the bed.

The man in the bed, about forty years old, had just raised his body and was frozen there. The blood-sucking blade was extremely sharp and left a fine line of blood on the skin at his throat before it was really touched.

There was also a rather dazzling woman in the bed, but she was not awakened, she just turned over and revealed a snowy white flesh, she was not wearing anything.

The man was somewhat stunned. "The Lord of the Xue branch of the Xue family is in the lower Xue Ocean. He also served in the old Xue family home. What can I do for you? ”

Shut the door at random for a thousand nights and say, "Mr. Xue, you are so steady and daring! In that case, I won't go around the circle. I have a friend named Choi Yuanhai. You must have it now, right? ”

Speaking of this name, Xue Ocean's face changed dramatically. Calm and serenity were completely replaced by horror. He lost his voice: "You are what the Wolf King wants! ”

“Wolf King is generous. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have known my head was worth so much.” Thousand Nights smiled.

Xue Ocean's heart immediately sank and looked at the blood-sucking blade resting on his throat. He smiled bitterly on his face and said, "You two, it turns out, are blood clans. ”

"She is, I am not. But it doesn't matter, Mr. Xue. Are you going to stall? That makes no sense. ”

Xue Ocean smiled bitterly: "I know how you care about little people like me when you dare to kill even the son of Wolf King. Choi Yuanhai did come to me, it was too big, I reported it to the owner. The owner replied that the person was temporarily detained and kept under strict supervision. ”

“What about people? ”

Xue Hai became more helpless and whispered: “It was taken away. ”
