Doomsday Code

Chapter 587 Passage

Seeing that Finier was still confused, Chen Cheng wanted to agree on her behalf.

"Miss, why don't you agree quickly? This is the most advanced teaching staff."

Only then did Finier come to her senses and immediately thanked him with a blushing face.

Aunt Mei rolled her eyes at Chen Cheng and said:

"Is it really necessary to do this, brat? With that huge amount of resources you stole earlier, no matter how useless they were, you could still create an epic item."

However, Chen Cheng acted as if he wanted to cry but couldn't.

"Don't mention Aunt Mei, I barely even had time to warm them up before all those things were put into the training of apprentices at the dojo.

Even though the dojo is making a lot of money now, it's also very good at spending money. When I left, I left with empty pockets."

At this time, Chen Cheng seemed to have forgotten the valuable magic crystals he had taken away.

"Okay, you little brat, Aunt Mei doesn't have any money to support you. All the money Aunt Mei has saved has to be given to Finier.

Also, haven't you already joined the guild's training program? If you want resources, go apply for them yourself."

After chatting and laughing for a while, Chen Cheng asked about the guild.

"What happened today? Where did President Moni and those adventurers go? Why can't we see them?"

When Aunt Mei heard this, she looked surprised and said:

"Why, don't you know about this?"

"What's going on? I just came back yesterday and met a few people after I came back. Did something big happen? But there's nothing serious going on in and out of the city."

At this time, Finier was looking at Aunt Mei with a pair of curious eyes.

Aunt Mei waved her hand and said:

“It’s an important matter, but it has nothing to do with ordinary people.

Just a few days ago, the elf lady Emile and Moni went on a mission, and then they seemed to have opened up the road from our side along the Nanmu Forest to the Moonlight Forest.

"The news has spread that all the adventurers have fled to the Southwood Forest like cats smelling blood."

At first, Chen Cheng thought there was another danger, but after hearing this, his expression became a little strange.

He came back this time just to find Emile and wanted her to take him to the Moonlight Forest.

But he didn't expect that when he came back, she had already opened up the road to Moonlight Forest.

Isn't this a bit too coincidental?

While Chen Cheng was thinking, Aunt Mei sighed:

"You don't know how crazy Miss Emil has been in the past month. She has been staying in the Nanmu Forest almost all day long. I don't know where she got the faith from. Moni has tried to persuade her several times.

But this can be considered as God's reward for his hard work, and he finally opened up this path for her."

After hearing this, Chen Cheng thought of the scene when he met Emile when he left and came to the guild.

At that time, I seemed to have said that I hoped she could find the road leading to the Moonlight Forest in Nanmu Forest.

Chen Cheng shook his head, feeling that he shouldn't be so shameless. It must be Miss Emile's kindness that helped them open up this land route.

After hearing the news, Chen Cheng was so confused as to not know how to sit or stand, and he was wondering whether he could reach the Moonlight Forest through this road.

Aunt Mei also noticed Chen Cheng's inner unrest when she saw this, so she didn't keep Chen Cheng here for long.

"Look at your burning ass, you'd better leave."

Chen Cheng smiled awkwardly, then looked at Finier.

"Why are you looking at my apprentice? If you want to leave, go ahead. I want to keep Finier here to strengthen our relationship as master and apprentice."

After leaving the guild, Chen Cheng did not rush to Nanmu Forest, but went straight to the governor's office.

For major events like opening a land route for communication with the elves, Tophis definitely has the most detailed first-hand information.

Because when such a major event occurs, it is necessary to immediately collect information, write it down in a document and submit it to the State Council.

When they arrived at the consul's office, the gatekeepers did not recognize Chen Cheng. When they learned that Chen Cheng wanted to meet the consul, one of them went into the office to report.

Chen Cheng was also bored, so he approached the remaining guards and said:

"Brother, you are a new recruit, I haven't seen you for two months."

Seeing that the guard didn't respond, Chen Cheng didn't get angry, but continued in a familiar manner:

"I want to ask you something. Where did the previous brother go? I am a good friend of that brother. Can you tell me about it?"

As he spoke, Chen Cheng coughed and pulled out a voucher with a face value of one gold from his space bag.

The guard looked at the voucher in Chen Cheng's hand, then turned his eyes back and said:

"Accepting bribes is illegal. My former brothers have been transferred. As for where they went, it's not my place to know."

Chen Cheng didn't expect that Tophis's anti-corruption policy was so effective that even a gatekeeper knew about the crime of bribery.

At this time, Tophis also walked out of the government office.

When he saw that it was Chen Cheng, he stepped forward with a smile on his face and said:

"Brother Brown, you came back without even saying hello to me. Did His Highness come back with you?"

"Your Excellency, Archon, your question sounds like flattery. I came back alone this time, and I'm afraid Your Highness will have to wait for some time."

Chen Cheng also said jokingly.

"What you said is true. You and His Highness are inseparable. Isn't it normal for me to ask His Highness this?

Moreover, a major incident occurred in Huidun City recently, and I am waiting for His Highness to come and handle it."

"Is it about you opening the road to Moonlight Forest?"

"Why, you just came back and you know about this. Has His Highness already read my documents? Are you here to make decisions for me?"

When Tophis heard this, he immediately took Chen Cheng's hand and said happily.

"I've already said that I'm just a returnee, and I didn't bring any orders with me. Besides, I didn't hear about this when I left the capital."

"Well, this isn't the place to talk. I'm here with some tea, so you have to have a sip, right?"

After Chen Cheng's reminder, Tophis remembered that the two of them were still standing at the gate of the yamen.

Chen Cheng was invited into the yamen, and later to his office in the yamen.

After asking Chen Cheng to sit down and make tea, he sat down with a sad face and said:

"Isn't it for this purpose?"

"Although the opening of this channel is a huge political achievement for me, sometimes a good thing can turn into a bad thing.

No one has walked through this passage for many years, and there is no way to predict what dangers may be encountered along the way.

And these are not the most important.

The most important thing is those adventurers. They all want to be pioneers, but is this something they can get involved in?

In order to stop them, I transferred most of the guards in the city, just to prevent them from doing anything reckless.

I’ve been worrying about this recently.”
