Chapter 159 Angel Feather
“I can only send you here.”
Katrina led Ji Xun all the way down to the viewing platform on the second floor.
It is impossible for the eldest lady of the Lionheart family to send a male guest out.
Seeing this, Ji Xun bowed very gentlemanly and said: "Thank you, Miss Carter."
Catalina smiled disapprovingly and said, "If you're not dead, I'll say thank you next time. I think you should consider how to get out now. The things in your hands are very sensitive, even if I send you here, You may not be able to escape."
Ji Xun's expression didn't change. Instead, he kissed his hands gracefully and said goodbye, grinning: "Then, see you next time."
Smiling, he looked at the Silver Mist Rose in front of him, quietly took a few steps back, and his figure gradually merged into the darkness.
Watching the person leave, an unexplainable complex emotion flashed across Catalina's crystal eyes.
She moved her fingers slightly, rubbing a gold coin between her fingers. She didn't know what she thought of, and her eyes became deeper and deeper.
There are guards all around the Lionheart family's base camp.
Ji Xun did not go through the main entrance. Although he used Shadow Sneak to blend into the darkness, he was still discovered.
Fortunately, the thief who jumped off the building attracted the attention of most of the guards.
That Miss Catalina also obviously helped.
Ji Xun escaped without any danger.
He didn't dare to stay longer, changed his clothes in the dark, and dealt with the traces he left along the way.
Soon, he arrived at the roof of an inconspicuous small building five blocks away.
Ji Xun took out the item that he had received in the banquet hall before and started thinking about it.
This is a yellowed parchment scroll, which depicts a nine-pointed star formation and various mysterious symbols.
Just looking at it, a simple and mysterious feeling comes to my face.
"Antiquities from the Tarun Dynasty?"
Ji Xun looked at the pattern of the spell, and it looked like it had a "sealing" effect.
The parchment roll is just a wrapping, there seems to be something else inside.
It’s very light, and it’s like it’s nothing.
“What the hell is this?”
Ji Xun was also a little curious.
Cannot be contained, this thing is a high-end item.
But he did not untie the hemp rope on the sheepskin out of curiosity.
After all, this was what the leader of Silver Moon requested.
It's best not to touch this thing now.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun took out the Silver Moon Mirror again, thinking about waiting for new instructions.
However, before the leader of Silver Moon could wait, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he stood up and locked his eyes on another building.
A person suddenly appeared there.
Mustache, aquiline nose, wearing a deerstalker hat and brown cloak, with a brown pipe in the corner of his mouth and a black umbrella with a silver handle in his hand.
Just like the hunter's attire can make people recognize him at a glance, this guy's attire also makes people know that he is a detective at a glance.
Ji Xun also knew that this guy was here for him.
Raise your head slightly.
Under the light, the broad forehead shone slightly, and the deep blue pupils glowed with wisdom.
When Ji Xun saw this guy outside, he immediately guessed who it was.
Xie Guozhong reminded me before that a very powerful detective came to Dragon City, called "Monster Thief Hunter" Robin.
That guy is a special adviser to the FBI, a real master of solving crimes who is said to only take on all kinds of difficult cases.
I didn’t expect this to happen.
If Xie Guozhong can say he is awesome, then he must be awesome.
After all, he is a "thief".
Seeing someone chasing after them, a normal person would have chosen to escape immediately.
But when Ji Xun looked at this guy, strong curiosity arose in his heart.
If the opponent has the strength to crush them, there is no point in escaping; if not, there is no need to worry about it for a while.
The two of them stood on the roof and looked at each other dozens of meters apart.
After a few breaths of silence, Ji Xun tilted his head and glanced at him, and asked directly: "How did you find me?"
He thought about it, and there was almost nothing along the way. Leave no trace.
If it weren't for the parchment roll in his hand, there should be no flaw exposed.
Hearing the inquiry, the middle-aged man held up the deerstalker hat on his head, as if he had seen through his thoughts, and said calmly: "Tracking involves more than just conventional methods. By chance, I have mastered some unusual methods. It’s too routine.”
As he spoke, he opened the black umbrella in his hand and covered his head.
A strange scene unfolded.
The black umbrella completely blocked the lights of the surrounding tall buildings. The black umbrella seemed to have opened an exit from hell, and countless tentacles with claws and fangs emerged from the umbrella. Those tentacles seem to capture the scent of various souls in the air, and a strange sound like the sound of sizzling electricity can be heard in the ears.
In an instant, an evil aura exclusive to hell creatures filled the surrounding area.
There is also a slight fluctuation in mental power.
Ji Xun instantly became cautious. He noticed that this guy seemed to have cast some kind of spell.
But looking at this familiar tentacle monster, he suddenly understood and said: "It turns out that your Excellency has raised a hell species [Evil God Tentacle]."
He has seen this kind of creature before. once.
In Master Merlin's laboratory.
But that end is much bigger than this one.
This hellish creature can release mental waves.
Just like a radar, it can identify specific mental bodies within the locked range.
No wonder I was discovered,
It turns out that it is a nearly unsolvable method of perception called "mental power locking".
But this guy kept this monster in his umbrella. It is indeed a tracking artifact.
Hearing this, the famous detective was also slightly surprised. He looked at the octopus-like tentacle monster in the umbrella above his head and said: "It's rare that you are the first partner I have met who recognizes me. The person from whom he came. "
"."
After Ji Xun recognized this guy, he suddenly didn't want to expose his identity and take action.
Compared with the parchment in his hand, his bigger trouble is the wanted criminal with a bounty of over 100 million.
And Xie Guozhong said that this guy was the one invited by the Cao family to investigate the murder of the two governors of Innocence City.
As soon as he appears in his werewolf form, he will be recognized.
If you mess with such a famous detective, there will be endless troubles.
But Ji Xun felt that since the leader of Silver Moon asked him to bring the things out, he would definitely come to take care of him.
Seeing that there were no pursuers surrounding him, this guy didn't make a move, he just wanted to delay for a while.
However, Robin saw his purpose at a glance and asked directly: "Do you want to delay time? Oh, your companion is indeed here."
"."
Ji Xun said nothing. He sniffed and smelled an increasingly strong smell of the dead.
At a glance, in the alley downstairs, a hunchbacked figure slowly emerged from the soil.
This guy is the backbone of the Silver Moon Sect, the "gravedigger" Duan.
Ji Xun was surprised when he saw it: "This guy is not dead yet."
Last time at Thunder Fortress, he saw with his own eyes that the hunchback was punched through the chest by Xie Guozhong.
It is outrageous that he is still alive and kicking now.
But he was an enemy before, but now he is an undercover agent and can be considered an accomplice.
Seeing this person appear, Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.
Someone is drawing fire.
Robin obviously recognized the identity of Old Man Duan at a glance, and muttered: "It turns out he is a member of the Silver Moon Sect. No wonder he can instigate the senior guard of the Lionheart Family. This is a bit troublesome. "
Having said that, there was no hint of anxiety on his face: "Unfortunately, I just need some time to unlock the seal."
As he said that, he took it out. There was a card, and a six-pointed star formation suddenly lit up at his feet. He shouted softly: "Solution!" When Ji Xunyi heard this, his face changed slightly.
He noticed something and immediately took out the scroll hidden in his sleeve.
Looking at the lit up spell on the scroll, he put the thing on the ground as if he was electrocuted and retreated violently.
Like a grenade whose firing pin has been fired, once this seal is activated, it is irreversible.
As he retreated violently, his eyes were fixed on the burning sheepskin scroll.
Ji Xun originally thought there would be something dangerous inside.
However, in the blink of an eye, the parchment was burned out, and he saw that it was actually a black feather wrapped inside?
Qidi also failed to show what this is.
But it must be something with an absurdly high legal level.
But as soon as this black feather was exposed to the air, a rich aura of light and evil overflowed.
There is also a kind of bloodline coercion originating from higher organisms.
Remembering that this is what the people of the Silver Moon Sect are trying to snatch, a thought immediately flashes through Ji Xun's mind: "Could it be the feathers of the Weeping Angel?"
He doesn't I felt an inexplicable twitching at the corner of my eye.
Thinking of the Holy Nails of Light and Darkness on my body, the Weeping Angel is still on me!
The black feathers were floating in the air, and the hunchbacked old man frowned as he looked at them.
This is different from plan.
However, at this moment, the spiritual message of leader Silveryue suddenly came to their ears: "I will hold back the people from the Lionheart family. You think of a way to take things out of the city!" This is related to Lord Arachne's recovery plan, and there must be no compromise at all costs!"
When Ji Xun heard the name of the god, there was no room for concern about this order.
Before he could hesitate, Old Man Duan on the other side had already jumped up, trying to hold the angel feather in his hand.
But just a foot away and before touching him, Lao Duan's expression suddenly changed.
Because he saw that his palms were burning with black flames.
The hunchbacked old man immediately retreated.
But at this moment, the entire palm was burned.
Old Duan was like a corpse, feeling no pain at all. Instead, he only stared at the featherless creature solemnly.
Ji Xun looked at the fire on the feathers and felt it was very familiar: hell fire?
The famous detective obviously had no intention of attacking him head-on, so he just released the angel feathers.
As long as it cannot be taken away, the goal has been achieved.
This Lion City is the territory of the Lion Heart Family. After a while, experts will naturally come over.
Delay leads to change.
Ji Xun turned his eyes when he saw the feather, but he thought of many things in his mind.
Previously, the Holy Nails of Light and Darkness and the Cross of Light and Darkness were all related to angels.
Now this feather, the purpose of the Silver Moon Sect seems to be gradually clear.
What’s more, now that the gods’ names have been brought out, if I don’t do something as an undercover agent, I will be suspected immediately.
Without much hesitation, he rushed towards Feather as well.
Because he had just seen the scene where old man Duan’s arm was burned off, Ji Xun did not dare to be careless. When he stretched out his hand, the curse power surged, and a layer of black flame condensed on his palm. .
When he advanced to the second level, the main "flesh" material used for his career card was [Red Baron's Demonic Holy Blood].
This material allowed him to master the meager power of Hellfire bloodline.
Three meters, two meters, one meter. One foot!
Touched!
Ji Xun was prepared to have his palms burned through and then use "Cell Activity Boiling" to forcibly take away the feathers.
However, what he never expected was that he successfully held the feather.
Didn't even feel any burning sensation.
“Huh?”
Ji Xun was very confused.
The flame on this feather is not just a high temperature on the physical level, but a burning law.
He was sure that his fire resistance and hell bloodline could not withstand this level of damage.
But why. There is no burning sensation at all.
However, before any more doubts flashed through his mind, a more magical scene appeared.
As soon as Ji Xungang held the feather, he suddenly felt as if his whole body was weightless and light.
And not only was he light and airy, he was almost flying.
"What's going on?"
Ji Xun has the [Power Gem Golden Ball] in his hand. He is very familiar with the feeling of gravity suddenly becoming heavier.
But this is the first time I have become lighter.
And there was no harm from the feather, that is to say, he can take it away?
Not far away, the famous detective Robin frowned, obviously not understanding why this man could get this dangerous feather so easily.
As an accomplice, Lao Duan was overjoyed and shouted: "You take your things and leave first, I'll hold them back!"
When Ji Xun heard this, he didn't say anything nonsense.
He took the feather and rushed towards the other side.
However, after just two steps, because I was not used to the feeling of weightlessness, with a little effort, I jumped a hundred meters high!
I instantly overlooked all the buildings in the entire city.
However, as soon as the abnormal "flying target" appeared, the searchlights in the city also shone over.
Ji Xun quickly poured magic power into the golden ball of power, and his whole body fell down.
But in this moment of flying experience, he seemed to find some fun.
He jumped again, adjusted his direction, and shot out towards the city wall.
I originally jumped tens of meters, but now I am flying easily in the sky, unable to stop.
This novel experience made Ji Xun's lips curl up slightly, "Hahaha, that's interesting."
In a blink of an eye, he left the area where Old Man Duan and the famous detective were confronting each other.
Ji Xun watched as the searchlight shone over again, his feet making a popping sound in the air, and his whole body changed direction rapidly in the air.
Originally [Floating Kick] can only move short distances in mid-air.
However, in this weightless state, he kicked two steps, and his whole body was like a cannonball, flying far away.
Take off!
It really took off!
This feather is simply an escape weapon.
Ji Xun originally thought that he had to transform into a werewolf to escape from the city.
Looking at it now, it seems that it is no longer needed.
He was flying at a speed that even the searchlight couldn't keep up with. In the blink of an eye, he was several hundred meters away through the wind.
With a few jumps, he came to the wall.
There is no need to walk through the city gate at all. You can easily cross the 100-meter-high city wall with just one jump.
Ji Xun looked at the brightly lit city and the extremely shocked and stunned faces of the guards on the city wall, and grinned.
Two hours later.
In a ruined building outside Lion City.
Ji Xun met the Silver Moon leader through the instructions transmitted through the Silver Moon Mirror.
In addition to the hunchbacked Lao Duan, there are also several mysterious cloaked men here.
I originally thought there would be a fierce battle after being discovered, but I didn’t expect it to be dismissed so easily.
The leader of Silver Moon looked at Ji Xun and nodded in recognition, but didn't say much.
Ji Xun also thinks that this old sect is very good. As long as they have the same beliefs, they will not pry into the privacy of their members.
No one asked him why he was not burned by feathers.
Now is not the time to be nagging. The leader of Silver Moon also said directly: "This feather is related to the resurrection of Lord Arachne. Now that we have it, the 'Mausoleum of Mad King Augustus' will be unsealed." It’s about to be put on the agenda. Our latest mission is to break the seal of the last Silver Moon Altar and find the remains of the Weeping Angel.”
As soon as he heard this opening, Ji Xun immediately realized that he seemed to be involved in something. A high-level meeting of the Silver Moon Sect.
I’m stuck, that’s all I can write today.
