Online Games: My Theft SSS Level

Chapter 637 Speculation

"Are you the lord here?"

Suddenly, a cold snort pulled Chen Ming out of his thoughts and back to reality.

He followed the sound subconsciously.

The guy in black robe, whose hands were tied, raised his head and looked at Chen Ming with anger in his eyes.

Before Chen Ming could speak, the two soldiers were already furious. With a strong force on their hands, they pushed back the man in black robe who had just raised his head.

"Be bold!"

"How could your lord allow you to speak so bluntly!"

Chen Ming is highly respected and loved in the territory.

But he didn't care about this himself. Rather than the disrespect of the guy in front of him, he wanted to understand where these crystal nuclei came from.

"Let him raise his head and let me ask him."

The guards were obedient and relaxed a little. The man in black robe raised his head, but there was no fear in his eyes. On the contrary, he was even more angry, "Oh, how dare a mere fiefdom lord be so arrogant?! These It’s just that the illiterate idiot Wu Fu doesn’t know those things, is it possible that you, the lord, are so ignorant?”

"Let me go quickly!"

As soon as these words came out, the two soldiers almost couldn't help but used force again and pushed him to the ground.

But Chen Ming heard some clues from it.

This guy seems to have a lot of background.

Also, how could he get involved with a crystal core of this level without any identity?

That is something that can build a teleportation array!

They are strategic materials with a price but no market. Even with Chen Ming's current ability, it is impossible to obtain these things.

"Cuff him."

"Then take it to my lord's mansion."

"I'm going to ask him myself."

After hearing this, the man in black robe became even more angry, but Chen Ming had already turned away and didn't even listen to his angry shouting.

soon.

This guy was tied up and thrown into the lord's mansion.

Chen Ming had almost never been here. After he pulled a chair over and sat down, he immediately looked down at the guy who was tied up like a rice dumpling.

"If I'm not mistaken, what you dug out should be the magic crystal core used to supply Qingfeng City's teleportation formation, right?"

The man in black robe was stunned.

The arrogance and anger on Dan Xuan's face suddenly emerged.

"You actually know?"

"Then you dare to tie me up?!"

"I came to you to retrieve the magic crystal core. I was acting on orders. Your subordinates attacked me while I was distracted by sensing the crystal core. Now you dare to torture me privately... You are dead, dead!"

Chen Ming felt slightly annoyed after hearing this.

This is actually an imperial envoy?

It's a bit troublesome.

But he remained expressionless and continued to ask: "Why do magic crystal nuclei appear near my guild territory? And it is Qingfeng City's teleportation array. Disassemble the Qingfeng City teleportation array and place it near my territory. What’s the purpose?”

"You don't deserve to know." The man in black robe replied proudly.

This guy, relying on his status as an imperial envoy, was quite arrogant and didn't take Chen Ming seriously at all.

In this way, Chen Ming could only meditate by himself.

He had many clues in his mind.

But there is something missing to connect them in series.

First of all, one thing he can be sure of is that the magic crystal core must be used to arrange the formation.

Just like nuclear power energy in real life, it is definitely used in large-scale projects and cannot be used to power your own electric car. In the game world, it can and can only be used to power large-scale formations. .

So, why do they deploy large formations near the guild territory?

And it looks like the preparations were quite hasty.

So much so that they didn't even have time to use the brand new magic crystal core, so they directly dismantled Qingfeng City's teleportation array and used it here for emergency purposes.

Combining these two points, coupled with the recent encounters in the guild territory, a speculation emerged...

Attack of the snakehead.

This caused them to arrange the teleportation formation.

Used to protect the territory of Jiuchongtian Guild?

This was Chen Ming's first thought.

But he soon denied it.

Because he clearly remembered that when the Snake-headed Crow attacked, a group of magicians came to the territory and announced with a proud attitude that they wanted the Jiuzhongtian Guild and the Snake-headed Crow to be burned together.

It was made clear that the Nine Heavens Guild would be treated as a sacrificial pawn.

It was used to delay Qingfeng City and Black Rock City in the rear.

For such a chess piece that was destined to be sacrificed, how could they bother to lay out a defensive formation for the Jiuchongtian Guild's territory?

But if it's not a defensive formation, what is it?

Sudden.

Chen Ming thought of the riots that had occurred in Qingfeng City before.

After the riot ended, when he went to the city lord's mansion to receive the reward, the city lord's attitude was nonchalant.

At that time, Chen Ming could vaguely sense that the riot seemed to be closely related to the Lord of Qingfeng City and other princes and nobles.

That riot brought about a loss of lives.

Almost all the NPCs in Qingfeng City have been replaced.

It is precisely because of this that Qingfeng City issued a major administrative order and used extremely powerful policies to benefit the people to attract batches of NPC residents again.

etc……

Suddenly, Chen Ming frowned.

The grand administrative decree of Qingfeng City is true, and it is also true that it attracted countless NPCs, including the beast spirit clan who migrated here.

But it seems that when Qingfeng City promulgated this decree, it was not after the riots ended, right?

Logically speaking, making up for the population loss caused by the riots should be the top priority in rebuilding the city, and this decree should be promulgated as soon as possible.

But that doesn't seem to be the case.

This decree to attract the population was promulgated even later.

It was definitely not sent out immediately.

But closer...

The time when the snakehead multiflorum appears.

boom!

Like a thunder, it exploded in Chen Ming's mind.

An idea that sent chills all over his body emerged uncontrollably.

The emergency decree issued by Qingfeng City to attract people was not used to fill the gap caused by the last riot.

It is used for sacrifice.

Just like after the last riot caused the whole city to be bloodbathed, the leaders looked like they had expected it.

Because that group of people were also used for sacrifices!

Living human life has always been the best sacrifice.

The appearance of Sheshouwu and the riots will undoubtedly cause shocking killings...

If Chen Ming hadn't had the wisdom to catch the big toad and let it help, the Jiuchongtian Guild's territory would have been razed to the ground by now.

At the same time, the two cities behind will also be bleeding.

This all makes sense...

Involuntarily, Chen Ming's face darkened.

He glanced at the rice dumplings on the ground and said coldly: "Snake-shouwu was stopped by me, so you have to take back the arrays that have been arranged but not yet activated, or refill the teleportation arrays in the two cities behind. Vacancy, or…”

"Find somewhere else."

"Deploy the magic circle."

"Create another shocking killing."

"Right?"

This is just Chen Ming's analysis without any substantive evidence.

But after he finished these words, the face of the man in black robe on the ground suddenly changed.

The proud look on his face also collapsed at this moment, revealing uncontrollable panic and surprise.

At this moment, Chen Ming's heart sank to the bottom.

It seems that his guess is correct.

Something is indeed wrong with Qingfeng City.

No, not just Qingfeng City.

Starting from the highest position of the ancestor dragon.
