This time, her arms were stiff, and she turned her back to Zhang Mu, looking somewhat dejected.
There was silence for a long time.
"Don't bully me all the time."
She turned around, buried her head in her chest, put her hands in front of her lower abdomen and rubbed the rag: "I will be sad."
Chapter 185 The Deputy City Lord's Suspicion
Palina's personality is somewhat unreasonable.
Even though he was not valued in the City Lord's Mansion in the past, his status was still there, and he had servants to take care of his daily life.
Although her family background is not as good as that of the City Lord's Mansion, it is still a wealthy family after all. She definitely doesn't have to mop the floor or wipe the table herself.
Logically speaking, a girl who grows up like this, if not as delicate as an Epiphyllum, would at least be a pampered rose.
In short, it is definitely not the case that you can just throw the flower into a pot and leave it there without caring about it, and the pot will still be filled with flowers.
But Palina became Riyuechun.
Zhang Mu felt that she was somewhat different from her senior schoolmate who was also good at housework.
Avril exudes a noble temperament, not to mention washing dishes or sweeping the floor, even if she rolls up her trouser legs and sleeves and goes to the fields to cultivate the land with a hoe, you can still see it at a glance.
But when Palina changed into casual clothes and simply tied her long hair behind her head, she seemed like a real girl next door.
Zhang Mu, who was sitting on a wooden chair, looked up at her who was about to cry and said, "I have something else to do. You should take care of your own things first."
"Aren't you going to see Leah?"
"I'll be back in a bit, and we'll go then."
Knowing that Leah was in good health, Zhang Mu was not so worried anymore.
He first went back to Blue Star to bring the herbs over and left them there to transform on their own. He would have nothing to do afterwards and would have plenty of time to play with Leia.
Palina didn't say anything else. She picked up the basin, lowered her head, pushed the door open and left.
Zhang Mu looked at the somewhat lonely figure blocked by the closed door. He shook his head meaninglessly, stood up, summoned the portal, and stepped in.
After returning to Blue Star, he immediately drove his classic car straight to China.
Then he used Transfiguration to forge a man with ordinary appearance and purchased all the materials for brewing intermediate magic potion.
And agree on the quantity of the next batch of herbs and the pick-up time, and pay the deposit.
Considering that using the inventory in front of others might scare them, Zhang Mu called for a small truck and transported the herbs to a corner of an industrial area in the suburbs where there were no cameras.
After the truck turned the corner and disappeared, raising dust, they folded up the neatly stacked wooden boxes, rushed back to the workshop in Jiujinshan, and went to the other world.
Zhang Mu thought it was unsafe to keep the herbs anywhere else, so he simply stuffed them into the city lord's "world".
Next, just wait for the herbs to be transformed and you can brew the medicine.
During this period of time, Zhang Mu had nothing else to worry about except his routine meditation practice.
He walked out of the study with his hands behind his back.
The moon was high in the sky and the lights were on in the mansion.
"I'm so busy now, I don't know if Leah is asleep yet."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Mu wandered towards Palina's bedroom.
Because he had frequently driven away servants and failed to replenish them in time, he didn't see many people along the way.
Zhang Mu took small steps to her door and controlled his mental power to pass through the door.
Two long, steady breaths.
It looks like he is asleep.
Come again tomorrow.
Zhang Mu turned around and walked straight out of the City Lord's Mansion without returning to the study.
Although there is no plan to deal with the two deputy city lords who are jumping around all day long for the time being, it is necessary to get some information in advance.
Walking on the deserted streets late at night, Zhang Mu's shadow on the ground was stretched out longer and thinner by the dim street lights.
"I don't understand." Perhaps because the street was too quiet, Zhang Mu muttered to himself, "Everything is closed after nine o'clock?
The remote city of Bara still has nightlife... Sigh, come to think of it, there are no entertainment places like bars in Gul City?"
What's the reason? Border city?
Unable to figure out the result, Zhang Mu didn't care. He put it aside and quickened his pace. He soon arrived not far from the gate of one of the deputy city lords' mansions.
"Sissoko, one of the deputy city lords of Gul City, a magician."
While muttering Sissoko's basic identity information, Zhang Mu's figure became illusory and transparent.
……
In the empty living room, Sissoko sat in the middle of a three-seater leather sofa, with a man in his thirties on his right.
He was wearing gorgeous aristocratic clothes. The skin on his face and the palms exposed outside his clothes was extremely white. His face was not angular and his shoulders were narrow, giving him a feeling of being frail.
“Joey,” Sissoko said, holding a crystal glass. “Your plan is too reckless.”
Joey, a manly man, smiled with a feminine charm: "Do you think my guess is wrong?"
"You said it too, guess."
Lifting his left leg gracefully and pressing it against his right leg, he said, “Will a true city lord be so enthusiastic in resettling refugees?
Even at any cost, using one's own private funds to buy food?"
"This is the responsibility that a city lord should bear."
"But this is definitely not something our city lord would do."
After all, he is the lord of Gul City and has some responsibilities.
Sissoko would like to retort like this.
But thinking carefully about what the city lord usually did, if he really said this, he was worried that he would vomit the steak he had for dinner all over the floor.
He remained silent, unable to refute, and sighed, "I don't understand.
Even if the city lord who returned from the Silent Forest is indeed an imposter, what does it have to do with you?
If you kill him, you won't be the city lord.
If you guess wrong, the price will be your precious life."
"I am a villain pretending to be the city lord. I am loyal to the kingdom and it is my duty to punish him."
Sissoko stared at him silently, the meaning in his eyes was very clear, we all know each other, so don't say polite words to me.
Like a girl, with her hands folded on her knees, Joey showed no embarrassment at all: “Don’t look at me like that.
Or should I not expose the criminal who dared to impersonate the city lord?"
"So, you create some trouble for the project first and try to irritate him." Sissoko did not respond to his accusation and continued,
"Then walk out of the safe city and judge the authenticity of his identity by whether the city lord will take action against you?"
"It doesn't get any better than this, does it?"
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if the fake city lord is stronger than us?
We were killed and could not obtain evidence to confirm the authenticity of the city lord's identity."
"He can never surpass the wizard." Joey's voice was not loud, but his confidence was almost overflowing. "As long as he releases magic, he will definitely expose himself."
“You are very confident.”
“Of course, even if he gets the Solar Storm on the day he enters the City Lord’s Mansion, I don’t believe he can master it in about two months.
The battle is at a stalemate, and he still does not use the solar storm. He will be charged with impersonating the city lord, and the bishop of Gul City will definitely take action. "
“If you’re so sure…” Sissoko spread his hands and shrugged, “When do we start?”
"tomorrow!"
Finally convincing him, Joey raised his voice slightly, "After my secret instigation, all the magicians at the construction site went on strike.
Tomorrow morning I will invite the city lord to inspect the construction site. This will be a perfect opportunity to take revenge on me.
He doesn't dare to come, so my inference is correct.
The fact that my colleague didn't attack me also showed that something was wrong with him.
As for the least likely possibility, that they will burn me to ashes with a solar storm, then please take care of my wife and children."
Sissoko opened his mouth in surprise.
Could this madman, who sometimes behaves like a woman and sometimes acts like a tough man, actually be so mean to the Kingdom Center?
Nodding solemnly, he said, "I will follow you from a distance tomorrow. Once I have solid evidence, I will immediately notify the Gul City Church."
Chapter 186 Zhang Mu, the "Genius Magician"
After leaving the deputy city lord's mansion, Zhang Mu did not remove the shadow spell. He returned to the mansion in stealth, thinking about the conversation he had just overheard.
There is no need to worry about your life safety, thanks to the resurrection function which is your biggest trump card.
But if his identity was revealed, Zhang Mu would really have a headache.
Without the support of the city lord, he could not find any channel to quickly build the subsequent buildings and terrain of Hogwarts and the immortal sect.
Thinking of the plan made by the deputy city lord named Joey, Zhang Mu's headache became even worse.
I have to admit that this is an open conspiracy.
I will follow you out of the city. According to the city lord's style, anyone who provokes him will be blasted into pieces by a magic.
However, it is not easy for the city lord to defeat Joey given his strength. The situation is stuck in a stalemate. There is no reason for him not to use his famous skill - Solar Storm - to end the battle.
Zhang Mu can’t be released.
Solar Storm is a master-level magic. Zhang Mu has the first-level bonus of meditation, but he also needs to be promoted to a magician before he can use it.
