Chapter 234: The Mystery of the Mahogany Box
Han Xiaoli handed his mahogany box to Long Fei and asked him to study, and the one thing that could be studied was the cherry blossom pattern on the box.
Han Xiaoli's jade pendant and artifact were all sent by an organization called "Sakura" in Dongying Kingdom, and the recipient at the beginning was not Han Xiaoli himself, but everyone's junior uncle Murong Xin.
In order to find out the reason for all this, Long Fei decided to use this mahogany box as a starting point to investigate it further.
Because the final battle between his side and the "Dark Domain Society" is about to break out, it is necessary to unravel all the fog during the preparation time before the battle begins.
"Xiaoli's box is similar to mine, although my box is more gorgeous in appearance, but Xiaoli's is better in terms of materials for both sides!"
Long Fei knocked on his box, and from the sound that came, he could see that the materials were very ordinary. Han Xiaoli's box is made of mahogany, which shows how strong the financial resources of the sender are! Because in today's world, top-quality wood itself has become expensive due to some environmental factors, especially mahogany!
"Xiao Fei, can you research anything?" Han Xiaoli asked, "At present, the only clue we have is the cherry blossom pattern on the box itself. ”
"I don't have a clue yet, after all, there are too many organizations that use cherry blossoms as symbols in Dongying Country!" Long Fei scratched his head, "After all, cherry blossoms are the national flower of Dongying Country, if it is changed to another country, it is estimated that it will be able to be found soon!"
"Indeed, this search is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack!" Han Xiaoli said, "but can we help the investigation with the help of something else, so that we can make some breakthroughs?"
"Actually, when I first wanted to investigate it, I inadvertently saw the remnant blade of the Soul Eater Knife on the side!" Long Fei said and used his ability to transfer the remnant blade of the Soul Eater Knife to his side, "Everyone also knows that this evil blade is a reforge completed by the famous sword-casting master of the Eastern Ying Kingdom, Yoshikawa Jing, but the little master also told us before that with Yoshikawa Jing's way of doing things, he should not choose to be in the same stream as the 'Dark Domain Society'!"
Han Xiaoli thought for a moment and responded, "Xiaofei, you don't want to say that Ji Chuan Jing sent me these two items, right?!"
"Yes, that's what I really think, but there are a few things I don't understand for the time being, that is, why did Yoshikawa Jing want to help our side, why Xiaoli, your artifact was in the hands of the other party, and why did the item be sent to our little uncle Murong Xin at the beginning?!"
"Indeed, there are really too many suspicious points!" Han Xiaoli responded, "But if we want to investigate clearly, it will not be easy!"
Long Fei glanced out the window, sighed lightly and said, "We can't go to the territory of Dongying at this time, although the branch of Dongying's 'Dark Domain Society' has been defeated for us, there are still some remnants of them there!"
"It's completely unnecessary to go to the territory of Dongying Kingdom!" Situ Li walked over with a few drinks, "Drink some drinks to relax first, don't keep tensing your nerves!"
"Thank you, Sister Li'er!" Han Xiaoli took the drink and took a sip, his fatigue caused by the previous ability attack was suddenly swept away, "Is this drink specially made by the 'Sea of Dawn'? I just took a small sip, and my fatigue disappeared in an instant!"
"That's right, the drinks and some foods in the 'Sea of Dawn' are completely different from some in the world, if you're hungry, I can make one for you!" Situ Li responded, "Anyway, our little master's family also has a lot of ingredients, and we can make any dish!"
"It's better to wait for these things to be dealt with...... Han Xiaoli sighed lightly, "I really didn't expect that even though we came to the 'Sea of Dawn', we were still surrounded by some troubles!"
"Actually, it's better than the previous situation, after all, when we were in R City, we would be attacked by Dongying's 'Dark Domain Society' or the CQ Group's side at every turn!" Situ Li said, "And what we are doing so far is also to prepare for the ultimate battle with the 'Dark Domain Society' in the future." As long as the headquarters of the 'Dark Domain Society' is completely destroyed, our lives will really be peaceful in the future, and we don't have to worry about being attacked by the enemy!"
"Yes, as long as I can successfully defeat the ...... side of the 'Dark Domain Society' headquarters," Long Fei's fists clenched as he spoke, "When I defeat that guy, I will be able to know about my parents!"
Situ Li glanced at Long Fei, and his heart as a senior sister was also uncomfortable. After all, because of the catastrophe many years ago, Long Fei and his parents were separated from each other!
Han Xiaoli also felt the same way as Situ Li in her heart, and now she already knows that the couple who once sacrificed their lives to save themselves were Long Fei's parents!
"Xiaofei, you ......"
"I'm fine, the topic has just gone a little off, let's continue to study this box!" Long Fei said and looked around, "By the way, I've been busy researching the box just now, where is Sister Fluttershy going at this moment?"
"Xiao Saucer went out to transfer those 'Dawn Alloys', since our little master is still busy with other things, we don't have time to send those materials here!" Situ Li responded, "But I think Fluttershy's style of acting, I guess after receiving those 'Dawn Alloys', go directly to her laboratory in Dawn City, and then come to the 'Sea of Dawn' to make peace with us!"
"This is indeed Sister Fluttershy's character, that's how the 'Guardian' gave it to me before!" Long Fei smiled slightly, "Okay, I'm going to continue to study this box, after all, I still have to solve the doubts on it!"
"Then you should be busy first, I'll go cook some food for you, how can you have the strength if you don't eat something?"
"Then Sister Li'er, I'm going to help too, after all, I can't help Xiao Fei with this matter, and I don't want to be idle at this time!" Han Xiaoli said, "I have studied under some famous chefs in China, so I should be able to help you!"
"That's amazing?!" Situ Li looked at Han Xiaoli with a little surprise, "I never thought that Xiaoli you would know so much?!"
"It's all boring to learn during the holidays, and those celebrity chefs are friends with my dad anyway. ”
"Then what else do you say, let's go straight to the kitchen!"
Han Xiaoli and Situ Li went to the kitchen to start busy for the next meal, while Long Fei continued to study the box alone. But not long after Han Xiaoli and Situ Li left, Long Fei made a major discovery!
"Wait a minute, Xiao Li's mahogany box seems to have another mystery?"
Long Fei gently pressed his palm on the lid of the box, and the blue-gold light quickly scanned the box as a whole. With the help of the information from the ability, Long Fei found that there was a hidden compartment at the bottom of the box, but the switch was covered by the wood paint on it!
Transform the "Guardian" into a short knife form, and gently scrape off some of the wood paint at the bottom of the box. Since both layers of wood paint are the same color, the overall look of the box is not weakened.
"What kind of strange rune is this?!"
After Long Fei scraped off the wood paint, he showed a rune similar to "cherry blossom" in front of him, but its petals looked very geometric, and generally the rune would not look like this. And the reason why it can be judged is because Long Fei felt a breath of strange energy on this object.
However, since he didn't know the type of rune, he couldn't crack it at all.
"I'll go, how can this ability seal be lifted?!"
Long Fei transformed the "Guardian" into a bow and crossbow form, trying to use the electric current to forcibly seal the ability and break down, but the current was absorbed by the runes as soon as it touched the bottom of the box!
"What is this Temo going to do?!"
Without knowing the type of rune, Long Fei was also a little helpless at this moment. If his little master, Long Ruoxi, was here, he might be able to help him, but the other party was currently busy with other things in the Dawn City Police Station.
Just when Long Fei was at a loss, a badge that was exactly the same as the rune suddenly fell out of the inside of the box, and the rune at this moment was also transformed into a slot!
The change in the box made Long Fei a little confused, but his brain told him that the badge was the key item to break the seal!
"Give it a try!"
Long Fei gently placed the chairman on the slot of the rune culture, and the moment the two just touched, the whole box changed amazingly.
A dazzling fiery red light suddenly spread throughout the box, and then its shape began to change!
In less than ten seconds, the original box had been transformed into a small classical gramophone, and the badge had been turned into a disc on it!
"This ......" Long Fei was confused at this moment, completely unclear about the situation, "I want to open the dark grid, why do you give me a transformation?"
However, as soon as Long Fei finished speaking, the disc on the gramophone turned on its own, and then a middle-aged woman's voice came from inside.
"I know who is able to get to this passage, but I hope it's better not to be the guys from the 'Dark Domain Society'!" The woman's accent was very distinctive, sounding like a native of Dongying.
"Before, because my family's people were blinded by money, I helped the Dongying 'Dark Domain Society' to reforge the evil blade and make it endanger the world. In order to make up for the mistakes made by my family's people, I deliberately transferred the artifact that my family had guarded for generations to Madam Murong Xin, and asked her to find the true owner of the artifact!"
"Considering my family's reputation, I would like to ask the Stranger to help me record this passage into the wooden box, hoping to become a testament to my family's reputation in the future!"
"The accent of this speech, coupled with these contents, could it be that this person is Yoshikawa Jing himself?!" Long Fei's gain from this quota is not small, it seems that the reason why the leader of Dongying's "Dark Domain Society" was able to obtain the Evil Blade Soul Devouring Knife was not because of Yoshikawa Jing himself, but because those guys used money to confuse the people of her family.
As a famous swordsmith in the Eastern Ying Kingdom, some of her family members have naturally obtained her true inheritance, and they also have the ability to reforge the Evil Blade Soul Eater Knife!
When he learned the reason for all this, Long Fei came to the kitchen with the gramophone turned into a box.
"Both, I've figured out the ins and outs of the matter!" Long Fei smiled slightly, "There is a recording of Master Yoshikawa Jing himself in this thing, Xiaoli's artifact was sent by her, and the Soul Eater Knife was not reforged by herself, but the guys from Dongying's 'Dark Domain Society' used money to make it out of her family, and Yoshikawa Jing herself specially left this recording in order to prove her innocence!"
Han Xiaoli and Situ Li put down the kitchen utensils in their hands and took the gramophone in Long Fei's hand.
Looking at this gadget in his hand, Han Xiaoli himself was also in disbelief.
"It's amazing, I never thought that just one box could hide so many things!"
