Chapter 975: What is gained is lost again, what is lost is found again
Hoinheim hurriedly chased after him without saying a word, and at the same time summoned the ethereal person, Evil Dan.
The invisibility magic used by most people or the treasures they carry are obtained by changing the refraction of light, but the Ethereal Evil Pill is a creature formed from the element of light. It can be seen at a glance The light in the air was unnaturally distorted, and at the same time, magic was cast to return the light in the surrounding air to nature. The invisible Lloyd immediately appeared.
In the blink of an eye, Hohenheim had flown more than ten meters behind Lloyd.
“Ah~!” Lloyd exclaimed, stepping on the walls on both sides of the alley and turning around to receive two arrows.
The alleys of low-rise buildings in this civilian area are very narrow, and it is difficult to avoid the two arrows passing through. Coupled with Hoynheim's urgent pursuit, the arrows were almost in front of Hoynheim as soon as they came off the string.
If these two arrows were fired at others, they would definitely cause damage, but Hohenheim was once the supreme commander of the Yinhuang Army. How could his abilities be such that these two arrows could not stop them. He hit one side of his body, and both arrows flew past him, and his speed of pursuit hardly slowed down at all.
"Stop it." The fat doctor Norton performed air step in an instant, holding his left hand in front of his eyes, and the exquisite leather gloves lit up with a dazzling magic light: "The hand of Qinghun, for Let me hold on to more power!" With a cry, the green magic hand with black background ignited with green magic flames, and all the wood elements within a few meters were affected by the gloves, and their activity level increased significantly. At the same time, the short magic stick on his right hand resonated with the same feeling and cast a powerful magic: "Ancient Eagle!" In front of the stick, a green light array suddenly bloomed, and a plant falcon made of condensed elements flapped its wings. He flew out and stared directly at Hohenheim with his sharp eyes.
At the same time, Prince and Andrew were also chasing after him. A new poisonous blood dragon that Andrew bought not long ago was also keeping an eye on Hohenheim, and Prince's guardianship was not suitable. In this case, there is no summons.
Hoynheim only pursued Lloyd, regardless of the attacks coming from behind, and summoned the ethereal person, Evil Dan, to form a ball of light mist to block Lloyd.
Lloyd was very alert. Seeing the light and mist condensing in front of him, his flying steps suddenly changed. He stepped on a horizontal wooden stake, turned around and jumped into the alley on the other side. He knows the advantages and disadvantages of the terrain, so he will never fly out of the alley. The messy layout in the alley is more suitable for him who is very agile. If he flies out of the alley and into the sky, it will become a magician's world.
Lloyd's twists and turns made it difficult for Hohenheim's instant magic to hit, but instead disturbed the residents here, making the situation even more chaotic.
The flying dragon that Hohenheim was chasing was followed closely by the ancient eagle, especially the ancient eagle. Although it was condensed with magic, it could navigate complex alleyways. It flew freely, turned and turned like a living bird, and seemed determined to hit its target.
Hoynheim glanced behind him, then flew out of the alley on empty steps. He launched several magic attacks at the people, beasts, and magic that were chasing after him. He turned around and looked at the people running around below. Lloyd wanted to use magic to attack, but he was worried that the powerful magic would hurt the people, so he could only attack with small magic instead.
However, the magic is small, but the power is not small. Lloyd has been in trouble many times. When he saw the door of a grocery store next to him was open, he immediately rushed in. Evil Dan, who was blocking him from the side, immediately shrank his body and turned into a human being, chasing after Lloyd. In this case, although it was ordered by its master not to use magic to attack forcefully, when it came to chasing people and blocking them, no one could match it.
In the air, Hoynheim lost his target and noticed a gust of wind coming from behind. As a general, he had rich combat experience. He judged for a moment that he had no time to turn around to take the attack, so he was not in a hurry to turn around, but Use the inertia of flying forward to turn around. This was just a few tenths of a second. The moment he turned his head, the ancient eagle flew less than half a meter in front of him.
The distance of half a meter sometimes doesn't even take a blink of an eye, but Hohenheim's inertia turns around and at the same time that the Ancient Eagle is chasing after him, he is also drifting back to fight for him. With enough time to cast the spell, he sharply raised his magic power and gathered the earth element's protective shield.
Boom, the ancient eagle is not big in size, but its power is extremely amazing. The green eagle hit the rock shield of Hohenheim and exploded the rock shield into pieces on the spot. The impact was violent. A stinging green light shines in the mid-air, like a head of green hair fluttering in the wind.
Hoynheim spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards. He couldn't fully use his magic to resist the blow. At this moment, the venom flying dragon in mid-air spit poisonous mist and rushed towards him. He quickly raised his magic power again, activated the instantaneous gust of wind, and forcibly changed the trajectory of his body's flight. After escaping this blow, he always had enough time to complete the teleportation. He teleported to dozens of meters away in one step, and used various attributes of magic to attack those who were chasing him.
Under the alleyway, Lloyd ran around in the residents' houses, causing chaos and confusion along the way. But Evil Pill had no hindrance to these things at all. After a few chases, he had already caught up with Lloyd. He raised his hand and a waterfall of light hit Lloyd, who was rushing towards him before he could turn around and avoid it.
Lloyd screamed in pain, and the whole thing flew out like a piece of paper. Holding the box tightly in his hand, he gritted his teeth secretly in the air, stretched out his legs, hung them on a horizontal wooden pillar above his head, and used the momentum to turn over, and the whole person jumped out along the skylight above like a fish. But he ran fast, and Evil Dan chased him even faster. As soon as Lloyd jumped out of the skylight, he saw a mist of light appearing in front of him.
‘Poof! ’
There was another waterfall of light, and Lloyd was knocked away again. The box in his hand could no longer be taken out and was thrown into the air. When Evil Dan saw this, his figure turned into light and flew to the box in an instant. He stretched out his hand to hold the falling box. Although it has no strength, it does not prevent it from using its strength to 'hold' the box.
The highly intelligent Evil Pill let Hoynheim, who was fighting with Andrew and the others, know that it had obtained the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone. Hoynheim immediately swept them away with a range of magic move, and in a flash, came When he arrived at Evil Dan, he took the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone box and immediately put it back into his own space magic. He glanced back at the people who were chasing him, recalled the ethereal person, Evil Dan, and walked away with empty steps and instant steps.
"Damn, damn, damn, damn!" He shouted three times in a row, and Norton gasped and cursed all kinds of curses. Although there were many of them and their pursuit speed was not slow, they could not compare with Hohenheim. The poisonous blood flying dragon also lost the direction of pursuit after the target became invisible.
Norton wasn't the only one who hated him. Andrew, Lloyd, and Prince all three of them, who didn't hate him till the end of their teeth. The Thousand-Eye Stone, which I finally got, was taken away again before I could even hold it in my hands. It would be strange if I didn't feel so angry that I was filled with hatred.
"Damn it!" The four people landed on the roof of someone else's house and could only stare blankly at the place where Hohenheim disappeared.
"What to do?" Prince asked.
But before their companions could answer, a large number of nearby residents pointed at them and started scolding them.
Andrew said: "Let's get out of here first."
...
On the other side, Inaniga and her subordinates returned to the underground secret hall of Safim's house. Bodokasijie, who had been waiting in the hall, saw Alva being brought back at a glance: "Huh? You brought back the chips you took out. It seems the transaction failed."
Inanika knelt on the ground on one knee: "Please punish the emperor, Inanika failed to complete the task."
Poto Kasijie asked: "Hohenheim's hand Is there a thousand-eye stone?”
“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.”
Potokasije sank for a long time.
Inanika lowered her head and said: "I'm sorry, Inanika, you are disappointed."
Bodokasijie exhaled a long breath: "First of all, Let’s talk about the specific situation.”
“Yes.” Inanija said, “I’m taking Alva with me. We arrived at the island in Longxin Lake as planned and saw the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone that Hohenheim had brought. However, when we were about to trade, many security officers suddenly appeared, including the chief of the security station, Halls. ”
“Did he report the case to the police?”
Inaniga shook her head: "I don't think it looks like he reported the case, and a third group of people appeared in the chaos and took away the Thousand Eyes Stone that I had already obtained."
"The third group."
"Yes." Inanija said: " And that person looks very strange, his whole body is dark green, and he swims very fast in the water. I don’t think it’s some kind of clothing or armor, it should be some kind of demi-human.”
“Say...” Safi. Mu made a surprised sound when he heard Inanika's description.
Bodokasiji looked at him: "Safim, what do you know?"
Safim said: "From Inaniga's description, this person should be a member of the Tidal Clan among the Inhumans. I am also a noble in the Royal Capital recently. When I talked about this race, I said that it was a person living in a certain area of the West Sea. Rare species, rarely seen on the mainland . ”
“Oh! ”
“But recently, a Haichao tribe member came to the royal capital. I heard that this Haichao tribe is often invited to the homes of noble and wealthy merchants. I think so. That’s the guy,” Safim said.
Podo Kasijie asked: "Do you know anything about this man?"
Safim shook his head: "No, I haven't seen him. But he is from the Haichao tribe. I want to find him." It’s not difficult for him.”
"Yes." Bodokashijie looked at Inaniga again: "I asked you to handle such an important task in person, just hoping that you can do it well. Unexpectedly, something went wrong."
Inaniga lowered her head.
Bodokasijie said: "The matter has reached this point, and I don't want to say anything else. Inaniga, anyone who fails in the mission at the Prisoner's Gate will be punished, even though you are me The person you love the most, but you are not exempt from the responsibility for failure. "
"Inaniga is willing to accept any punishment."
"I won't tell you what punishment you should receive. As the highest torturer in the Prisoners' Gate, you should know. What kind of punishment should you receive?”
"Yes, Inanija knows." Bodokasijie said: "Okay, you go down and take this woman down with you, she is still useful."
"Yes. ." Inaniga and her men escorted Alva away.
"Safim, please go down too, I want to be quiet for a while."
"Yes." Safim left the dark hall, but came back more than ten minutes later.
"Huh?" Dikui Bodokasiji opened his eyes and saw Haosen behind Safim: "You are here."
"Dikui," Haosen said with a greeting.
Bodokasijie asked: "Are you here for anything?"
Hausen said: "I heard that I will take hostages to Hohenheim in exchange for the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone today, so Come here to pay attention to the progress of the matter, and report my work to Di Kui."
Bodokasiji remained silent, and Safim shook his head at him: "Inanika's mission failed. , did not get the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone.”
Haosen said: "I didn't expect that Inanika also failed the mission."
Podokasiji said impatiently: "I want to rest. Just report your work to Safim and let him know tomorrow." Report it to me again.”
“Yes, that subordinate is leaving.” Haosen turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly said: “By the way, there’s more. One thing."
"What?"
Hausen said: "I was going to come here this evening, but I found someone following me on the way and I didn't think so. There’s something fishy about this. I’m afraid the person following me is not after my money, but for the prisoner’s gate.”
"Oh! Someone is following you." Bodokasijie's sleepy voice became more energetic.
The keen Safim said: "Di Kui, this matter is related to the third party forces that appeared in the transaction. Is there a connection between them?"
Podokasi Jie said: "You mean the people who followed Haosen are the same group of people who took away the Thousand Eyes Stone."
"Yes, these things all happened today, no. It's so reminiscent." Safim said: "That person's purpose of following Hao Sen is for our Prisoner's Gate, and the real purpose is most likely the Thousand-Eyed Stone. It seems that a third party has appeared this time. Stealing the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone is not a simple matter, but a premeditated matter."
Haosen said: "What are they doing to snatch the Thousand Eyes Stone?"
Safim said: "No matter what they did, they robbed it. The Thousand-Eyed Stone is not widely used, but it has great uses. Any of those uses can be their motive for robbing the Thousand-Eyed Stone. Haosen, do you still remember? What does the person following you look like?”
“Remember, he is about this tall, with an ax on his back...” Haosen described it carefully.
Safim said: "There are two people who need to be investigated now. As long as we find out who they are, we may be able to know their purpose of grabbing the Thousand Eyes Stone."
Bodo Kasijie suddenly said: "I don't care what their purpose is, as long as they dare to steal what I want, there will be only one way, a dead end!"
...
Under the magic streetlight, Andrew and the four of them gathered around with their luggage and discussed what to do next.
Norton said: "What else can we do? The first and most important thing is to find a place to stay. It is impossible to leave Hindmoor now. We just spent so much money, and we were kicked out by the hotel landlord. Come out, you have to find a place to stay first."
Lloyd said: "It's not urgent, the capital is so big, are you afraid of not having a place to live?"
Norton said: "It's best to stay in a hotel. I don't want to stay in a small hotel."
"Hey, you guys have strayed from the topic." Prince said: "The most important thing now is to think about it. How to get the Thousand-Eyed Stone back? That person will definitely find someone from the Prisoner's Gate to trade with him. We may also start from this aspect."
"Well, Prince is right." Lloyd said: "But the dilemma now is that we have no clues about the Prisoner's Gate, and we don't know how long it will take to find clues. Their deal is imminent, and if it weren't for us today I'm lucky, I happened to catch it During their transaction, I am afraid that the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone had already disappeared."
Andrew said: "I have a clue. In the afternoon, I asked a prisoner from a gangster. of the Gate members Name, we can find the location of the Prisoner's Gate through him."
Norton said: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's find a hotel to stay in and then find the Prisoner's Gate's home. ”
Another Meanwhile, Halls led the team back to the police station. Not long after entering the building, a security guard came and reported: "Sir, the injured person died on the way to the hospital."
"Tch..." Halls rubbed his head unhappily.
Pilot on the side said: "Sir, we have been investigating Prisoner's Gate for many years, and many of their members are recorded in our files. Don't worry."
Horse said: " You tell people to go down and take care of this matter. Send a few people to catch the two criminals."
"By the way, what about the two fat men?" asked Pai Luo.
Horse said: "Those two people are the accomplices of Bing Zhixie who broke into the palace to steal things. I asked people to keep them under guard. Be sure to keep an eye on them and not let them escape."
< br>"Should we conduct interrogation and torture?"
Halls thought for a while and said: "Let's interrogate first."
Pallo smiled and said: "Those two people look stupid, I'm afraid they can figure it out just by asking."
< br>At this time Hohenheim came to the public security headquarters.
"General Cheman." Hols hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "You ran in such a hurry just now, where did you go?"
Hohenheim shook his head: "It's okay. ”
"You're injured again." Halls saw that there was blood around his mouth and his clothes were soaked with blood. It was the blood from the old mouth that burst open again. "There is a hospital nearby. Let me take you there."
In the hospital, the doctor healed Hohenheim's wound. After Halls called them out, he asked: "What happened? Can you tell me carefully?"< br>
Hohenheim told him what happened.
Hols said in surprise: "I didn't expect that the Thousand Eyes Stone is actually in your hands."
"I no longer have a military position, Hols, I need your help. ." Hohenheim said: "Tonight's deal is like this, I don't know what they will do to Alva."
"Don't be too anxious, caring will lead to chaos." Halls nodded and said: "I will try my best to help you. This matter is also a case of our police station. But can you tell me why the Thousand Eyes Stone is in your hands? ?"
"This..." Huo Inheim said: "This belongs to my wife."
"It belongs to Alva? How could she have such a person? This is a priceless treasure."
