Chapter 384: hidden mystery

"To tell you the truth, about this matter, I have never figured it out."

The middle-aged, chunky businessman looked puzzled, and then said: "The residents of the Shanjing Principality seem to dislike this general from the Lengyan Kingdom who was born here."

"So this is why the businesswoman Eya kept silent?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and couldn't help thinking to himself: "Speaking of which.

For Leng Yan's traditional nobles who rely on their nobility and blood, it is understandable that they don't want to see Burt who is born in a foreign land.

And the local residents of the Principality of Lianshan Jing also have this idea, which is a bit intriguing.

It can be seen from this, just as I speculated just now.

Behind this giant axe general Burt, there must be hidden a past that is unknown and does not want to be mentioned.

This point can also be corroborated from the fact that Jubai, who has a deep friendship with him, is completely ignorant of his past. "

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then asked the short and fat businessman again: "Can you be more specific about this matter?"

"Sorry sir, I don't know the specific situation."

On the other side, the short and fat businessman stroked his sparse hair that was almost going bald, shook his head helplessly and said: "I just know.

In this principality, no one is willing to mention the name Bert, it seems to be a customary taboo.

As for why this happens, I don't know. "

"Understood." Lei Xiao nodded slightly to the short and fat businessman, and pondered for a while.

He asked about the other party from the side, about what Lin had described, the sudden shaking of the room at night, and the sound similar to a hard object breaking through the wall.

However, he got a negative answer with a puzzled look on his face.

According to the middle-aged, chunky businessman, he would stay in the Shanjing Principality for a few days at the end of each month. For several years, the phenomenon that Lin described before had never occurred.

"I see."

Slightly nodded, after confirming that there was no other noteworthy information on the chunky businessman, Lei Xiao casually rewarded him with a few more golden dragons.

It was in the sound of thanks from the other party that he took Lin, and the others hidden in the cloak in the knotweed, and began to walk to the room upstairs in the hotel.

Just like that, he opened the door with the simple copper key and smoothly entered the large suite at the end of the corridor on the second floor of the hotel, Lei Xiao observed.

Just like Chunky said, it is spacious and elegantly decorated.

Although it cannot be compared with the rooms in the lord's mansion and the city lord's mansion, it is still very good.

Moreover, several plates of fresh pastries were placed on the coffee table, and a mixed aroma of milk and caramel could be smelled vaguely.

"My lord, I have to say that this country in the mountains is indeed very strange."

Just after Lei Xiao gestured to the knotweed, using energy to completely isolate the room from the outside world.

Chaoyan's crisp voice of impatientness was transmitted over immediately.

It seemed that she, who walked all the way wearing an invisibility cloak and had no chance to make a sound, couldn't hold back anymore.

"Indeed it is."

Signaling to the subordinates who had taken off their cloaks, they casually rested on the soft sofa in the living room. Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a thoughtful look, and also leaned over and sat down.

"My lord, even the plate with pastries here is so different."

On the other side, Chaoyan picked up a plate of chocolate cookies on the coffee table, swallowed involuntarily, and looked at Lei Xiao expectantly.

That little face was flushed, like a kitten waiting to be fed.

Bai Wei, who had a pair of fluffy erect ears beside her, also made the same movement, with her big white tail lying flat on the sofa seat, gently swinging back and forth.

Slightly pouted his lips, indicating that the foodie duo can eat freely.

Lei Xiao's eyes immediately fell on the dinner plate in Chaoyan's hand.

Observe carefully, these white porcelain dinner plates are indeed a bit special, they are all square with sharp edges and corners, which is quite different from the common round plates.

"My lord, the residents here seem to like sharp and angular items very much."

Ye Cang pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said in a deep voice, "According to my subordinates' observation, except for the buildings mentioned by the chunky businessman just now.

Whether it is the dinner plate here or the texture of the clothes of the local residents, they are all angular structures, giving people a very rigid feeling. "

"I noticed that too."

After receiving the fragrant tea that Ah Bing had just brewed, Lei Xiao took a sip of the steaming tea and thoughtfully said: "Okay, next.

The subordinates have fully confirmed that there are twelve in total, and the strongest one is at the peak level of Tier 3. Most of them are located in the ancient castles at the end of the city.

For the time being, no strong man above Tier 4 has been found. "

"Twelve third-tier powerhouses? For this country with almost no population flow and a lack of cultivation resources, having such strength is already very impressive.

After all, the scale here is at most equivalent to an ordinary city in the Lengyan Kingdom. "

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

On the other side, I saw the knotweed continued to maintain a bowed posture, and added: "My lord, there is one more thing.

That is what most of the buildings here, including a large number of ordinary houses, use.

They are all special materials with the function of concealing breath, which makes the perception of subordinates a little slower.

For a mountainous country where few people visit, this situation is undoubtedly extremely rare. "

"I noticed that too."

Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao stroked his chin and thoughtfully said: "It seems that this city is obviously hiding its strength consciously.

However, it also includes a large number of ordinary houses, which seems a bit baffling.

After all, it is understandable to hide the aura of the military camp and the city lord's mansion.

And the vast majority of ordinary people have not even condensed the energy vortex, and their strength is below the first-order and second-star, so there is no need to hide at all..."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frowned slightly, and continued to think: "Could it be that what's hidden is not just superficial strength?

So, what is hidden in it? "

Ning Mei pondered for a long time, Lei Xiao, who was still clueless, curled his lips slightly, and then said to the subordinates beside him: "It seems that the fifth suspicious point here has been found.

That is, these buildings with the function of concealing breath, what is concealed is obviously not just as simple as superficial strength. "

"Exactly."

On the other side, Lin also frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, then muttered to herself: "What else can they hide is simply unimaginable.

Coupled with the previous doubts.

What kind of mystery is hidden in this weird mountain country? "

"It's still unknown."

He raised the teacup again and drank the remaining tea in one gulp, then Lei Xiao said, "However, it is for sure.

So far, we are getting closer and closer to this hidden mystery. "

Gently put down the empty white porcelain cup in his hand, Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and added: "And, this hidden mystery.

There must also be inextricably linked with Bert.

So, about the two unknown answers.

Whether we unravel the name Burt first, the reason for the taboo here.

It is better to solve the mystery hidden in this mountain principality first, and it will not be far away from another answer. "

"My lord is right."

At this time, Chao Yan was like a little hamster, working together with Bai Wei to wipe out the cookies on the square plate, while stroking her belly contentedly.

On the one hand, he was puzzled again: "My lord, what should we do next?

Judging from the current situation ~ seems to be in a dead end. "

"I have already asked the chunky businessman just now, the local businesswoman Eya we met before, although it seems to be running a dilapidated shop.

But he is one of the few people in the Shanjing Principality who went to the outside world.

In addition, it once said that it has the exclusive right to sell the newly discovered white jade ore veins.

You know, even if it is an ordinary resource ore vein, it is definitely worth ten thousand gold.

Obviously not an ordinary small shop owner, a resource that can be taken casually.

It can be seen from this that Eya's identity should not be as simple as it appears on the surface.

Therefore, the breakthrough for the next step naturally lies with her. "

Just when Lei Xiao analyzed this point.

In this land full of mysteries, another unexpected thing happened.
