Chapter 20
Chapter 20
After such a long time, Xi Zheng finally had another chance to talk to Ling En.
In other words, since the first meeting, Xi Zheng finally talked to Ling En for the first time when both parties were conscious.
After all, Ling En in the past was always a puppet controlled by him, and would only obey his orders, and it was impossible to communicate with him on an equal footing.
So, what should he say in the first meeting after the reunion?
Before Xi Zheng could figure out the answer, Mode behind him answered Ling En's question instead: "He is a spy sent by the kingdom! He is a bastard who came to spy on the news of the Demon King's City! He is the guy who wants to destroy the Demon King's City and wants to take Master Xizhen’s life! Kill him quickly, and don’t let him step out of here!”
Xi Zheng: "..."
Although it was stated that Maude said these words when he was in a state of insanity, it was surprising that, except for the point of "taking Xizhen's life", the other statements were completely consistent with the truth.
This made Xi Zheng wonder whether he was really crazy or fake.
But of course he still had to explain, Xi Zheng said to Ling En: "I am the healer of the underground wounded barracks, and I was arranged to come here today to heal Lord Maude's wounds."
While he was speaking, his eyes inadvertently collided with Ling En.
If you want to ask who is the person Xi Zheng is most familiar with in this Yitian continent, Xi Zheng's answer is undoubtedly Lingen.
For such a long time in the past, no matter what they do or wherever they go, they always accompany each other.It's Ling En in the past, Xi Zheng can easily see his eyes and movements.
But now, Xi Zheng found that he was looking at Ling En, but he couldn't figure out what he was thinking at all.
This person is in front of Xi Zheng's eyes now, but it seems that he is farther away than ever before.
His gaze was cold, without any emotion, and Xi Zheng couldn't even judge whether he believed his own explanation or not.
Perhaps he should have said something more to gain more credit, and besides, he hadn't lied.
Xi Zheng lowered his head, avoiding his gaze, and then said: "The two demon soldiers who brought me here should still be guarding the door. You only need to ask them, Lord Demon King, to understand."
This explanation should not cause any more trouble, but Moder sneered twice, pinched Xi Zheng's neck and said coldly: "I knew you had accomplices, I already knew that those guys were guarding outside, so You don't want to succeed. Your accomplices have long been stunned by me with the succubus secret technique, and they can't speak a word now, don't even think about someone saving you."
Xi Zheng: "..."
This guy who messes things up everywhere.
Xi Zheng now regrets that he treated Maude's injury, he should let this guy lie on the bed with serious injuries as a rock.
The question now is how to gain Ling En's trust and confirm his identity as a hired healer in Demon King City.
Xi Zheng tried to say: "By the way, I still have the card that was distributed when I first entered the Demon King's City, which should be able to prove my identity..."
Just as he said this, Maud had chuckled, took two steps back with something in his hand and said, "Are you talking about this thing? Who knows what dangerous thing you are holding, I It is absolutely impossible for you to use it to harm people in Demon King City, so I'll burn it for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the card held between his two fingers had already burned rapidly and turned into ashes.
Xi Zheng watched helplessly as he lost his last identification item.
It's over, I'm afraid I can't wash it off even if I want to wash it now.
Xi Zheng is still trying to think of other ways to prove his identity, but at the same time, he feels that a certain line of sight falling on him has become more and more obvious, as if turning into substance, penetrating his body like a blade, tearing his body apart. Nailed in place.
Ling En's gaze has reached the point where it cannot be ignored. Xi Zheng gave up dealing with Mod, and looked at Ling En again, and said helplessly: "Although you may not believe it, Lord Demon King, I am indeed..."
For so many years, Xi Zheng has never spoken to Ling En in such a low tone.
But his words were interrupted coldly by Ling En: "Enough."
Xi Zheng still hadn't given up struggling, but Ling En's next words were beyond his expectation, Ling En said: "It seems that your treatment has made this guy recover a lot."
Listening to Ling En's words, do you believe his identity?
Fortunately, Ling En is quite sensible, Xi Zheng said: "I just treated it a little bit, but the injury still needs to be recuperated."
Ling En: "I mean the problem with his brain."
Xi Zheng was startled and asked, "What?"
Ling En glanced at the situation in the room, and said again: "If it was before, he would have turned the world upside down, but now he is just pestering you."
No, just pestering him was already too much.
Xi Zheng wanted to make corrections like this, but hearing Ling En's words, he seemed to have believed what Xi Zheng said.
Xi Zheng never thought before that it would be so difficult for Ling En to believe him.
Now that you have believed it, then the matter should be settled easily——
Xi Zheng thought so, but obviously he was wrong. When he was about to speak again, Ling En continued: "Although it may be a mistake, you seem to be able to calm Maude, Then you will be responsible for Maude's daily treatment."
Xi Zheng immediately refused: "I am not..."
Ling En focused his cold eyes on Xi Zheng, and asked seemingly lightly, "Is there any problem?"
If you say no here, what will be the consequence?
Xi Zheng wanted to know that Ling En in front of him was definitely not the kind of person who could speak well. This was the best opportunity to get close to Ling En. In order to investigate the situation clearly, he had to agree.
Everything is for the investigation, and a little sacrifice is justifiable.
Xi Zheng convinced himself so, finally sighed in his heart, nodded and said: "I understand, I will try my best to treat Lord Maud."
"Very good." Ling En said with satisfaction, and then suddenly his eyes sank, and when he raised his right arm, all the magic power was released from his palm.
As far as the game is concerned, Ling En is the most powerful boss on paper in the entire game, and as a real world, Ling En is indeed the top combat power in the Ideon Continent.This kind of Ling En suddenly moved towards him, and with Xi Zheng's current combat power, there was no way to resist at all.
He could only take half a step back hastily, and put on a fighting stance, trying to keep calm to judge the current situation.
He clearly explained everything just now, and he even agreed to treat Maude. Why did Ling En suddenly start to do it?
No, not right!
Xi Zheng watched Ling En's magical movement trajectory, and only then noticed his mistake in judgment.
Ling En was not doing something to him at all, but to this room, to be precise, to the skeleton furnishings in this room.
As the mana value in the air suddenly soared, and after the green lightning disappeared, the mana value also disappeared quickly. At the same time, the sound of "click" filled the whole room, and then all the skeletons in the room were shattered into pieces. accumulated on the ground.
Facing the scene of violent demolition, Xi Zheng looked at Ling En's side face, and confirmed his guess in his heart again.
The skeletons made by Moder are all imitating the image of "Devil King Xizhen", and Ling En has bluntly told Moder to throw them away from the beginning when he entered the door, and now he directly destroys them all Lose.
Destroying these skeletons to nothing more than fingernail-sized shards, it seems obvious that they are venting their anger.
Ling En really hated him to the bone, otherwise she wouldn't have vented to this extent.
In any case, this meeting also made him understand one thing, that is, his identity must never be exposed in front of Ling En. If he is slightly exposed, he may never have the opportunity to investigate further.
Xi Zheng remained expressionless and did not reveal his thoughts.
Ling En on the opposite side withdrew his hand, turned and walked out, before leaving, he just said to Xi Zheng indifferently: "Clean up."
Xi Zheng raised his head and asked, "Me?"
Ling En: "Someone at the Wounded Barracks will explain it to you. From today onwards, you will be responsible for taking care of and treating this guy. Of course, you will clean up the things here."
Xi Zheng: "..."
It's unreasonable to say, and of course you can't beat it so far, so you can only accept it.
Xi Zheng nodded and said, "I understand."
Seeing that Ling En was finally about to leave, Xi Zheng felt that the haze surrounding him seemed to have lightened slightly, but before he could really breathe a sigh of relief, Ling En, who had already walked to the door, suddenly turned back He turned his head and stared at Xi Zheng with appraising eyes.
Xi Zheng was slightly vigilant in his heart, kept his emotions from fluctuating, and asked again: "May I ask you, Lord Demon King, what else do you want to order?"
Ling En's gaze seemed to be looking at Xi Zheng, and it seemed to pass through him hollowly, and looked at the nothingness: "When I started to destroy the skeleton just now, if I read correctly, you seemed to be posing A posture ready to fight back."
Xi Zheng deliberately looked away from him, his heart sank, and he couldn't say anything to refute.
That's right, he did think about fighting back just now. It may be because of his instinctive guard against Ling En in his heart, or it may just be because he himself can't trust anyone.
He is now acting as a person who has no resistance to the devil, and he should not have such an action in the first place.
How do I explain it next?
Ling En seemed to appreciate Xi Zheng's reaction deliberately, and asked slowly: "Are you afraid of me?"
Xi Zheng: "I..."
"Look at me." Ling En didn't give him time to think of reasons: "Why?"
Xi Zheng could only raise his head, and then put on an innocent look and said: "It would be a lie to say that we are not afraid. Our new team members are all afraid of the Lord Demon King. The Lord Demon King is very powerful. Ordinary people can't bear you. Of course, I will feel fear, and I am the same."
There is nothing wrong with this explanation, or Ling En's questioning, on the contrary, solved the problem that Xi Zheng faced just now.
If it was said that the attack he showed just now was instinctive under fear, the matter would be easier to explain.
Ling En fell silent, as if he finally accepted Xi Zheng's statement, and then added a sentence to take good care of others, and finally left the room.
And Xi Zheng watched his back until he was sure that he had left completely and would never turn back again, then Xi Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly dissipated the magic power condensed in his body just now.
He never knew before that Ling En was such a difficult guy.
Is it because of these years of experience that his temperament has changed too much?
However, Xi Zheng couldn't help but start to reflect. What Ling En said just now was right. He was too wary of Ling En. If it wasn't for this, he would never have reacted like that just now.
Why should he care so much about that guy's behavior?Is it because he has regarded Ling En as the most difficult enemy to deal with?
But no matter what, he finally passed the first test and successfully achieved his goal.
Although it was very difficult for him to take care of Maude, he was finally able to get close to the high-level officials of Demon King City and began to investigate slowly.
Xi Zheng's first day as Maude's exclusive healer ended with cleaning up the skeleton debris all over the floor.
The next day, when Xi Zheng came to Maud's room again, the room was obviously much cooler than the previous day.
Maud was sitting at the table in the room, wearing a dignified and gorgeous noble dress, drinking black tea delicately.
Maud looked much more normal today than yesterday.
Thinking so, Xi Zheng approached Maud and began to treat him, but soon he found that his judgment just now was wrong, because Maud started talking nonsense again during the treatment.
This time, he didn't touch Xi Zheng directly, he just lowered his head, with tears on his eyelashes, biting his fingers and sobbing softly.
Xi Zheng ignored it at first.
He just wanted to complete the treatment as soon as possible, and then before he returned to the underground wounded barracks, he searched the places he could go in the Demon King's City to find clues.
However, this person's crying was really annoying, to the point that Xi Zheng couldn't ignore it at all.
Xi Zheng endured it for a long time, and finally asked, "Why is Lord Morde crying?"
Maude raised his head and looked at Xi Zheng quietly, as if complaining why he didn't ask until now.
But the complaints belong to the complaints, and Maude's desire to confide made him quickly open his mouth, and said in a crying voice: "Do you think there is anything perfect in this world?"
Xi Zheng: "..."
He felt that the person who had a serious conversation with Maude must be a fool, so he chose to be perfunctory: "You say so."
Maude bit his finger, and said in a soft tone: "Yes, Master Xizhen is perfect."
Xi Zheng pretended not to hear this sentence, and continued to immerse himself in the treatment.
Maude would never let go of such a good opportunity to chat, he continued: "Guess why I told you about Lord Xizhen?"
Xi Zheng was not interested in listening to this answer, he directly interrupted Maud's conversation: "I think for your body, you need to rest."
Who knew that Moder was still quiet at first, but now when he heard his words, his expression changed instantly, he grabbed Xi Zheng's wrist fiercely, and began to force: "What do you understand? I understand, so you You're also from that guy Ling En? You also want to monopolize Lord Xizhen? Right?"
Xi Zheng didn't respond to his previous words, but when he heard the last sentence, he finally couldn't keep calm anymore.
His movements slowed down, and he asked incomprehensibly, "What did you just say? Monopoly?"
