NOVEL NEXT [039] Clues Can Often Lead To New Clues
Does it matter that I can still watch here?
wrong.
With the brain circuit of the cultists, they may really know how to watch a show when their own people are beaten, and maybe they can use their own people to make sacrifices afterwards.
"If I were, you and your apprentice would be completely cold by now."
Shaking his head, Si Chen flicked his fingers, and a wisp of source gas turned into a small crystal block, hitting the spine of the long sword in the hand of the scarred old man who was waiting solemnly.
Si Chen, who didn't expect to get revenge for destroying the opponent's weapon, condensed small crystal blocks with flat heads, and his strength also restrained.
Even so, the scarred old man's wrist still hurt from the shock.
Feel the power coming from the sword.
The face of the scar-faced old man became more serious, and the fingers of the hand without the sword clasped an emblem tied to his wrist.
That is the trump card of people like them. After activation, it can greatly improve qualities such as strength and speed, and to a certain extent weaken the negative feedback brought to the body by feelings such as pain.
The price is a rapid loss of vitality.
Of course, he didn't do it directly.
Si Chen's slap just now had already shown his goodwill. If the target of the attack was his throat or heart, the scar-faced old man probably would have been lying down.
"I just appeared here just at the right time. Your apprentice's performance is too obvious in the eyes of caring people." Seeing that the scar-faced old man had understood his meaning, Si Chen said: "You seem to be in Ian City. It’s been a while, can you tell me about the situation here?”
"There's nothing to say, it's just the shit between the classical faction and the reformist faction. In recent decades, the world has been like this."
The scar-faced old man snorted.
Si Chen raised his hand and waved it in front of him, nine crystal blocks lined up in front of him, with sharp ends.
"I also came to this city with my apprentices three months ago when I received an entrustment from Mrs. Teresa. I don't know much about it." The scar-faced old man honestly explained what he knew: "I just I know that there may be some big movements in this city recently, and many big figures in the world seem to have signs of coming here."
"Madame Teresa...?"
Si Chen heard a name from the other party's words that surprised him, but made sense after careful consideration.
Mrs. Teresa, whose full name is Diana Teresa, is the current head of the Teresa family.
The Teresa family is the family that has settled here since the establishment of Ian City thousands of years ago. The inheritance of thousands of years has given this family a pivotal position in Ian City.
It is said that even the ruler of the Solo Empire needs to sell the Patriarch a face.
If the patriarch of the family that has been passed down for thousands of years is still a famous figure in the world...
It is not surprising that Mrs. Teresa can have this face.
"It's surprising, isn't it?" The scar-faced old man smiled lowly: "The kind of big shot in the other world who would have countless people risk their lives just to let her see his name, would actually use Get me this shoddy tool...
"When I received the letter, I also thought it was some idiot who didn't know how to live or die, and dared to make fun of such a big man, but to my surprise, the letter was actually sent by that person.
"The housekeeper conveyed her will to me. She hopes that my companions and I can maintain the world order in Ian City in the next period of time. It doesn't matter if people from outside come, but if there is something similar When the cultists below appear, we will be responsible for cleaning them up.”
Si Chen: "..."
Although everyone is not on the same channel, but because the information provided by the other party is exactly what he needs, he decided not to say anything.
"Just now you said that many people showed signs of coming here..." He asked, "Among the people who have arrived, who is worthy of your attention?"
"Archbishop Macdonald of the Dawn Church is said to have never come out after entering the church; the Archduke Anthony in the north was welcomed into the territory of the Patriarch by the current patriarch of the Alva family on the day he arrived in Ian City; twelve people from the Dawn Hall The third seat among the paladins, no one knows where he went after he showed his face, and..."
The scar-faced old man looked at Si Chen.
The meaning is obvious.
There were only these three big figures worth noting before, and now we have to add Si Chen who doesn't know where he came from.
"Your apprentice's performance is not bad, so let's say goodbye." The information provided by the scar-faced old man has already helped him locate two other targets besides the Church of Dawn, namely the Teresa family and the Alva family.
Although the latter's inheritance is not as long as Theresa's family, the family's power is not bad.
Feeling that his trip was not in vain, Si Chen nodded to the scar-faced old man, and after a rift, the figure disappeared in front of the old man through the space.
After a few breaths.
The winner of the battle in the darkroom of the sewer crawled out from the ground, saw the scar-faced old man standing alone on the street, and trotted up to him: "Teacher, that cultist has been dealt with, the restriction has not been lifted, It didn't attract the attention of ordinary people, so my performance this time can't be considered bad, right?"
"..."
The expression of the scar-faced old man suddenly sank.
It's true that it didn't attract the attention of ordinary people, but the existence you attracted this time is much more dangerous than ordinary people.
That is, the one who just left seemed to be inclined towards the lawful camp. After showing up, he just asked himself about the current situation in Ian City.
Otherwise, the two of them, master and apprentice, would have confessed here today.
"Have you dealt with the rest of the hand?"
"Well, it's all done as you taught me." Not noticing that the scar-faced old man's tone was wrong, the apprentice reported: "Everything related to the belief of evil gods on the ceiling, walls, and ground has been scraped off and removed. It was purified with holy water, and I also buried a gunpowder pot with a timer in the room, and if there is no accident, the traces will be destroyed in five minutes."
"Can."
The scar-faced old man nodded, turned around and walked back.
The apprentice followed suit.
Five minutes later, an explosion sounded, breaking the tranquility of the night.
The scar-faced old man who was watching this scene from a commanding height nearby looked at the apprentice who was begging for praise: "You did a good job this time. According to this speed of progress, you will be able to officially become a teacher in a year or two. ..."
When the apprentice was overjoyed, he continued: "So starting tomorrow, the training on concealment, stealth, tracking... these aspects should be added a hundred times."
"ah?"
"One hundred and twenty times."
"It's not... Teacher, is there something wrong..."
"One hundred and fifty times."
"..."
Afraid that if he continued talking, the number of training sessions would be increased to two hundred, the apprentice shrugged and did not dare to speak again.
