I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 262 Conversation
After relaying this information to the team leader, Ji Jia persuaded Ning Yun to agree to the city lord's request.

But before that, they need to rest well and recover their strength.

If possible, it would be best to find the lost guards.

Having been trapped for over a month already, Lord Adrian wasn't in a hurry.

He also needed to prepare weapons and gather manpower.

Everyone agreed to meet at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion at 8:00 AM tomorrow.

Ning Yun and her group were left at the City Lord's Mansion.

They were also specially provided with three rooms.

Ning Yun had her own room, Ji Jia, Chen Yuanyuan and other women had another room, and the remaining men squeezed into one room.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the city lord's men had all left.

To avoid arousing suspicion, everyone returned to their own rooms.

However, everyone still communicated through the team channel.

Who knows if there are surveillance cameras in this room?

It wasn't that they were being overly cautious; it was just that it was everyone's first time in the hidden dungeon, and the situation here was too strange, so they had to be careful.

Moreover, Ning Yun did not quite trust Lord Adrian.

Although he appears very composed and acts like a diligent city lord.

But Ning Yun always felt that something was off about his eyes; he wasn't honest enough.

In her mind, this kind of person should be similar to Uncle Hu, with firm eyes and an upright appearance.

But the city lord's gaze always seemed a little unfocused.

It's even a little creepy.

When Ning Yun sat down with him, her hair stood on end, and she sensed a sense of danger.

But she can't produce any evidence, so how can she convince everyone to believe her?
In the group chat, Chen Yuanyuan and Gao Tian recounted in detail what had just happened in the living room.

Gao Tian, ​​in particular, observed the NPCs from the side and carefully examined the paintings in the living room, making a new discovery.

"The city lord wasn't telling the truth, and the steward's behavior was also suspicious."

“I have the same feeling. We’re all being targeted by the evil dragon, but they don’t seem to have that sense of urgency that comes with their lives hanging by a thread.”

"Captain, have you seen the dragon?"

According to the city lord, the evil dragon is circling outside the city and shouldn't be hard to find.

Wei Hanchuan and his group were cautious and careful, and they did indeed see the burned-down village.

But strangely, no dragon was seen.

Ning Yun pointed out a detail: "At first, I thought the silver dragon in the painting was the one I saw last month, but after looking at it more closely, I realized it wasn't."

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Ning Yun remembered that the dragon was entirely silver.

Especially its eyes, which are also silver.

But the silver dragon in the painting has red eyes.

The two colors are so different, the artist shouldn't have made a mistake.

More importantly, this painting is so large and has so many details that it's impossible to finish it in just over a month.

Ning Yun's pointed-out details drew everyone's attention to the painting.

After being reminded of this, Chen Yuanyuan also felt strange.

"This painting clearly depicts the crisis in Mo City, but neither the city lord nor the steward mentioned it once, as if they were deliberately avoiding it."

Gao Tian also examined the painting closely; the dragon's eyes were indeed red, sending chills down one's spine.

The other main character in the painting is a man in armor. Is that man really the city lord?
Ning Yun also took the opportunity to say, "I think the city lord is a bit scary."

She recounted the sense of danger she felt when the two of them sat together.

Do you have similar feelings?

Ning Yun's intuition is usually quite accurate. But if you really want to say that the city lord is strange, you can't find any evidence.

Her suspicions were not ignored by the team.

“You are the closest to him. If you feel there is something wrong with him, then this city lord must be someone special.”

“Actually, I also feel that the city lord has an inexplicable awkwardness about him,” Chen Yuanyuan added.

"There's a sense of inhumanity about it."

This feeling was very mysterious. She had interacted with many people and also had contact with NPCs in the game.

But these NPCs are almost indistinguishable from real people.

She even suspected that these so-called NPCs were actually real people.

But this so-called Lord Adrian lacks a sense of authenticity.

Although he appears to be a normal human being in both appearance and behavior.

But Chen Yuanyuan felt that his performance seemed like an act, completely lacking genuine emotion.

Leon couldn't help but boast, "I can explain that."

Ning Yun and his group dealt with the city lord, but he managed to extract a lot of information from the city lord's guards.

"This city lord is not a native of Mo City. He suddenly returned ten years ago and is said to be the old city lord's illegitimate son."

The old city lord never married and had only one son, which is why Adrian became the city lord.

At first, everyone was unconvinced. It was said that this person was very skilled in martial arts and also had a knack for governing the city. He managed to win everyone over in just three years.

However, there were also bad rumors about him in the city.

Some say he wasn't the old city lord's illegitimate son, but an imposter.

But the guard who spoke to me was the old city lord's father. He said the current city lord looked exactly like the old one; they were definitely related.

Due to time constraints, Leon only inquired about the city lord.

As for the silver dragon, the guards were in agreement.

They didn't know why the Silver Dragons hated Mo City, but they were also very afraid of the Silver Dragons.

"Did they really see the silver dragon?" Ning Yun asked curiously.

“I asked about five or six guards, and they all said they had seen it. Apparently, just a few days ago, the silver dragon appeared at the city gate and attacked the protective shield, but it couldn’t break through, so it flew away.”

It seems that the silver dragon is real and is indeed eyeing Mo City covetously.

Ning Yun really wanted to understand one thing: why was this dragon staring so intently at Mo City?
"Could it be that there's something it wants in the city?"

Leon's imagination ran wild: "Perhaps the city lord stole the dragon egg, which is why the dragon has formed a deadly feud with Mo City!"

That's how it's portrayed in many movies and TV shows.

However, there is very little information available at the moment.

They analyzed it here, but came to no conclusion.

Xiao Qichen, who had been silent until now, suddenly said in the channel, "The city lord has gone out."

Ning Yun quickly went to the window and drew back the curtains.

Sure enough, they saw the city lord get into a carriage, but they didn't know where he was going.

After the steward saw him off, he returned to the city lord's mansion.

Ning Yun immediately realized that this was a good opportunity!

She found Xiao Qichen and sent him a message: "I'll try to get information out of the steward. You can check on the city lord."

Almost simultaneously, the other party sent a message: "I'll go check on the city lord."

Ning Yun unconsciously smiled; they had the same idea.

“I have some tools here that can help you see through illusions. You can take them and use them first. Also, I’ll try to get information out of the steward and find out where the city lord’s bedroom is.”

The city lord's departure is a rare opportunity.

She then messaged Chen Yuanyuan, asking her to come and assist her.
