Will Be Me

"Corim!"

"Korok, I'm fine."

The young Colim stood up unsteadily, and saw a face with eyes full of tears.

Xiao Qiao's face was covered with mud. Compared with other people's natural dirt, the dirt on her face was more like a deliberate smear.

Her name is Krok, and she is Kerim's younger sister.

The supervisor was called away, and under the cover of the crowd, they had a little time to rest.

Korok lifted his brother's clothes, and underneath was a bruise that was oozing blood. Small wounds were engraved on the bruise like lines, and blood was constantly oozing.

It's all right.

She came to a conclusion.

With a sigh of relief, she carefully covered the clothes.

"Can we... still escape?"

Although he knew he shouldn't say this at this time, Korok, who wished to disappear day by day, couldn't help but say so.

"... "

After a long period of silence, it was so long that Korok wondered if his judgment had gone wrong, and if his brother was really killed all at once.

Kerim finally spoke.

"Yes. We... will definitely escape, we will..."

Even so, seeing the numb postures of the people around him, he couldn't help biting his lips, and despair grew in his heart little by little.

And the supervisor Wei Qi just now was nodding and bowing flattery at this time, and the mine owner listened to the flattery without any looseness on his face.

"I know you are very smart and obedient, until you do things properly. But this time, be careful. When the inspector sent by the empire is gone, it doesn't matter how you play, but if you let the empire find something abnormal... hehe , I trust you will not wonder what the consequences will be."

"Yes, my lord, I know what to do." Vicky lowered his eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye, only the shiny leather shoes of the mine owner were in sight.

"The lord is still waiting for me, I will leave this place to you."

After the mine owner finished speaking, he gave Wei Qi a warning look, suppressing the joy that had appeared on his face.

"Remember, only if things don't go wrong now, or we're all going to be screwed!"

After repeated warnings, Vicki understood the urgency of the situation.

Seeing his expression, the mine owner nodded in satisfaction, and his cold and serious face became relieved.

"Very good, Vicky, I entrusted you with the mine affairs because you are smart enough, keep it up."

After all, the mine owner stepped on his shiny leather shoes and left.

…………

A cup of tea.

It was placed on the table in front of Lin Yi.

This is the border city o Chidong, a city shrouded in ice and snow all year round, the cold blocked their route of interaction with the outside world.

In Chidong City, in the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion.

Two cups of clear tea were placed on the table. In front of the cup of tea was the inspector from the empire, and in front of the cup of tea was the lord of Chidong City.

The city lord wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and faced the inspector in front of him with a normal expression.

"I don't know what the adults are here for?"

The city lord's attitude is very humble, even though he doesn't think the young boy in front of him has any abilities, but as long as the other party is an official of the empire, then the other party represents the face of the empire.

In order to investigate the rebellion, Lin sent a body of Lin Yi to investigate, and it was the inspector sitting here.

"The Investigation Department didn't notify you before reporting it?" the inspector asked in surprise.

"No." The city lord shook his head and smiled bitterly, seemingly helpless, but his back felt a little chilled.

Generally speaking, the investigation department of Chidong City will notify the City Lord's Mansion when they encounter something that needs to be reported.

This time, the city lord's mansion was not notified, and the inspector came again, so what does that mean?

That means the City Lord's Mansion is also a suspect!

Thinking of the shitty things he did, the city lord only felt his heart pounding, and the remaining rationality forced him not to think about this possibility, lest he would break out in a cold sweat from being frightened.

Volume 86: Chapter [-]

"Border rebels." The inspector directly revealed the purpose, which made the city owner relax.

As long as it doesn't happen on your own, it's fine.

The mayor thought to himself.

Immediately afterwards, the examiner said:

"I hope to borrow some personnel, what do you want?"

"of course can."

The city lord naturally agreed.

Moreover, if the examiner didn't bring it up, he even wanted to ask someone to help him, so as to reduce the probability of his affairs being discovered.

The inspector only raised his mouth on this matter, and then took a gulp from his teacup, choking the city lord's other words in his throat.

"Since the tea has been finished, I will take my leave."

…………

In the evening of that day, Chidong City fell into darkness, and only a handful of shops were extravagantly lit to attract lost people.

A certain tavern happened to be open, and the inspector walked in. The warm candles lit up most of the place, and only a few people were still drinking here.

The style of the censor's clothes is obvious. Those who are interested can tell at a glance that he is not a local, and those who know him can even see the meaning of his clothes. This clothes represents the empire.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the tavern, he attracted the attention of many people.

The censors were fearless.

He walked to the counter, knocked on the table, and ejected a few copper eyes.

"Give me something to eat, no wine."

"Okay, here we have..."

After a while, the inspector sat at a table.

Lamb and peas were served on the table, alongside a large glass of very low alcohol fermented drink.

This drink is a specialty of this place. It is fermented by using some kind of ore waste residue and food. It is usually given to children, and the price is not very expensive.

Equipped with a knife and fork, the inspector began to settle his dinner hastily.

The stewed lamb meat is quite soft and rotten. It bursts out with a thick and delicious taste at the moment of entrance. After chewing again, the pieces of meat will be scattered. It is delicious but it makes people feel that the meat is not cooked properly. So perfect.

Taking a sip of his drink, the examiner's face remained normal.

Fortunately, this body was already used to drinking, so Lin Yi was spared the pain of getting used to it. This kind of drink had only a slight taste of alcohol, so it was difficult to get drunk.

Thinking back to the expression of the city lord just now, Lin Yi vaguely felt that something was wrong. He seemed to have something to hide.

But that doesn't matter.

In fact, investigating the rebels here is only incidental, and Lin Yi's main goal is to spread his sphere of influence here.

In the past, Lin Yi has not set his sights on some places that are not suitable for settlement, because other cities have not gained a firm foothold and involved a lot of energy.

Until now, Lin Yi had freed up a little energy, and just happened to encounter this task again, so he came over to expand the coverage of his body.

The seeds have been planted.

When it germinates, no matter how deep the darkness is, it will eventually turn into soil for growth, swallowed up by the roots, and provide the trees with sweet fruits.

After a few mouthfuls of food, the inspector left the tavern and found a hotel to stay.

a few days later.

There was a piece of red ore between the slightly long nails, and the inspector put this miraculous mineral in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

This is a special mineral called "red stone", which is a local specialty, and its function is to release heat. Such a small piece is enough to release twice as much heat as coal.

At the same time, the remaining wreckage can still be eaten, but the taste is not very good. If it is added to the wine-making process, it will add a different flavor to the wine.

Relying on the knowledge of the elf's body, the inspector easily identified the essence of this thing.

Extraordinary Strength Mineral.

Fire attribute magic elements naturally gather in minerals suitable for existence, and at the same time change the existence of minerals, making them a supernatural mineral.

This is Chidong City, the frontier, and there are some extraordinary powers, which is probably normal.

It's just a problem with the accounts.

The mines on the surface are obviously not enough to supply the entire city, and there are some unknown ways to continuously export this kind of ore.

The problems in the accounts were not discovered through the eyes of the inspectors, but through a large number of middle and lower-level personnel controlled by Lin Yi.

At present, it is only aware that the position of the body controlled by Lin Yi is not enough to touch these places.

As for the higher ranks, in order to conceal, Lin Yi generally would not directly seize the original owner, but let the lower ranks seize power to rise to the top.

"... "

click...click...click...

Sitting in the hotel, the inspector kept knocking on the table, his eyes flickering.

After a long time, he let out a breath.

Leave special matters to special people to deal with.

He is not a person who advocates individual heroism, not that he has to solve it by himself.
