Chapter 24: The Last Entrustment

As Bluebird said, Lan also came to the neighborhood and joined the battlefield in a way that Kane would never have imagined!

Just as Kane's dagger was about to cut through the soft neck of the Magic Bell, he suddenly felt an itch in the back of his neck. He didn't have time to care, and continued to swing the dagger, only to watch as his other hand stretched out like lightning, gripping the sharp blade of the dagger uncontrollably.

Kane didn't spare his hand with this knife, so he was immediately cut into the muscles by the dagger, and even slashed into the bones. And the most bizarre thing is that he didn't feel the slightest pain.

"Buzz!"

The sound of insects flapping their wings suddenly sounded from Kane's side. A beautiful girl in a gray robe slowly walked out of the shadows, holding a bronze lantern in one hand and a carbon-black serpentine dagger in the other. The hazy moonlight poured on her pale skin, adding a bit of mystery to the indifferent look of the girl.

The buzzing sound just now came from a beetle with a pitch-black body and eyes that emitted a faint blue light. The beetle flew off the back of Kane's neck and landed on the bronze lantern that glowed blue, before disappearing into the blue light.

"Who?!" Kane had no time to care about the magic bell. What was obvious was this: this mysterious girl who was completely unaware of any aura was the more dangerous enemy.

He wanted to point the dagger at the girl, but he heard a sound from the girl's mouth, "Put it down!" and only heard the sound of "dang long", Kane's eyes froze, and he lowered his head and was shocked to find that his body had obeyed this order without authorization and threw away the dagger on his own initiative.

The girl's tone was flat, as if she was saying something of course: "I don't want to use force, but I don't want you to attack this kid either!"

With that, the girl turned her head to look at one place, and the demon spirit knew that she could not escape her detection, so she obediently lifted her stealth state and escaped from the shadows.

"Thank you for saving your life, Lord Alan!" the magic bell bowed respectfully.

"Lord Alan?... You are the legendary Witch Doctor of Cang, Ah Lan?"

When Kane heard the name, his face immediately turned dead. If it were an ordinary Magus or Epic Warrior, he would still feel that he had a chance of winning. But if it's this wizard doctor who only exists in various legends... Kane's heart was bitter, and he could only smile bitterly. From the moment he was bitten on the neck by a black beetle, he had already lost.

"That's right, get down on your knees. Ah Lan said lightly, her expression and tone were still cold.

Kane's body was uncontrollably towards Ah Lan and he knelt on the ground, with only a helpless smile on his face: "Lord Ah Lan, there is no injustice or enmity between us, why do you want to do this to me?"

Ah Lan shook her head slightly: "I'm not interested in embarrassing you." So as long as you make a blood oath: never trouble Lena and Luo Ning again, I will naturally give you the antidote and let you go. ”

"Sure enough, it's a Soul Eater Beetle!"

Kane's heart was like ashes. The black beetle just now is estimated to be the smallest eighth-level demonic beast on this continent with the weakest attack power. And the only reason why this little thing can be called an eighth-level demonic beast is the highly toxic element in their body. However, this soul eater beetle was still kept in Ah Lan's ghost lantern, and the poison on its body was only more ferocious than its other two kinds.

Kane thought of Luo Ning's Shadow Strike, and asked tentatively, "I can understand that Lord Lan wants to save Princess Lena." But that kid is just a small follower, and he deserves to be seen by Lord Alan?"

However, Ah Lan's tone is always so cold, and it seems that there is no joy or sorrow in nature: "You don't need to do much, just make a blood oath!"

Kane had no choice but to slash his finger and forge a blood oath to dispel the idea of killing Lina once and for all. And Ah Lan also took out the antidote and threw it to him as promised.

Kane swallowed the antidote, let out a long sigh of relief, and sat down under a tree on the side of the road.

"Oh, I didn't expect that this time instead of finding Meryl's whereabouts, I took myself in. Tsk, what a loss... One thing I'm curious about, Lord Alan, is how you found this place? Could it be that we were under your surveillance from the beginning?"

Ah Lan shook his head: "If I had known that you wanted to be unfavorable to Luo Ning, I would have killed you early in the morning." I was able to find you only because I heard the cry of that soul!" Ah Lan said, shaking the ghost lantern, and after her lips buzzed a few times, a translucent soul body with a dull expression floated out of it, standing silently beside her. Look at the face of that soul, it is Jinli who was killed by Kane.

At this moment, more than 100 meters away, there was a sudden bright light, and several people turned their heads to look, and they saw the huge fire that appeared in the sky after Lena released the "Oracle Sword". Kane knew at a glance that the Duke brothers were afraid that they would be more than lucky.

"I've heard that witch doctors can drive away evil spirits. But I really didn't expect that it would be because of that kid? Haha, I'm really a little envious of him, and I can let Lord Lan kill him for him. ”

Lan: "You were obviously forced by me to make a blood oath, but now you seem to be even happier." Human feelings are really strange. ”

Kane spread his hands: "Anyway, the mission given to me by the Night Saints is a complete failure! But then again, not only did I see Meryl's 'Lunar Eclipse' again, but I also saw the legendary Witch Doctor with my own eyes, and I have already made a lot of money, and I can't ask for anything else!

Ah Lanqi said: "If you return to the Night Demon after a failed mission, aren't you afraid that the Night Saint will lose face in front of people and take the opportunity to trouble you in anger?"

Kane raised his eyebrows: Of course I'm afraid, but Lord Ah Lan is willing to let me go back, this incident itself is his biggest face!

Lan: You're an interesting person, and it looks like I didn't make the wrong decision!

Kane got up: "No, Lord Lan is naturally wrong! It is a big mistake to let go of your enemies at any time!"

Ah Lan shook his head and said, "You're not an enemy yet!"

Kane was speechless at this sentence. He stared and was silent for a moment, then laughed, waved his hand and turned to walk north: "Lord Ah Lan is right, I am about to leave, we will meet later." And that little girl, don't forget what you just saw, that's the real 'eclipse'!" Kane faded away, and finally disappeared into the night.

Ah Lan retracted her gaze and touched Jinli's soul with the serpentine dagger: "Luo Ning, they are here." You just said that you have something to ask him, so let's talk about it now. My spells won't last long. ”

Jin Li's soul suddenly condensed a little, and his eyes also bloomed with brilliance again: "Thank you, Lord Alan!"

Luo Ning walked all the way with Lina who was unconscious on his back, and saw the scene of Jin Li bowing down and thanking him: "Jin Li...... Sir?"

Jinli heard Luo Ning's voice, turned around and ran towards him, and just after running two steps, two dark blue chains suddenly stretched out from the ghost lantern and grabbed her body. Seeing that he couldn't get close, Jin Li simply said directly: "Mr. Luo Ning! There is one thing, please help me!"

Thanks to a certain rice love movie in his previous life, which can be called a pottery propaganda film, Luo Ning is not afraid of his soul body at all.

"Mr. Kinley, please speak. Luo Ning has a good impression of this person, as long as the other party's request is not too excessive, he will definitely agree.

"I have a gold pocket watch in my pocket. It was a token from the old president of the Chamber of Commerce, that is, my uncle. When you return to the royal capital, please give this token to my uncle and tell him that he killed me by the "Night Demon"! One of them depicts a map of the area where a demigod is buried, and the other contains all the information on the anomalous movements of the Norton Kingdom in the last three years. This is also the real purpose of my coming to Maple Leaf Town under the pretext of preparing gifts for my uncle! You can take the two Wind Horse and the Star and Moon Stone that I kept closely, but those two sheepskin scrolls, please give them to my uncle yourself!"

Luo Ning was overjoyed when he heard this: "Great luck, great luck! Not only did I get the Xingyue Stone, but I also earned two good horses for nothing! It's a pity that the little sister of the slave girl ran away, otherwise it would be even more perfect!"

Jin Li's soul continued: "Although there is a branch of the Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce in Maple Leaf Town, there is no one worthy of my entrustment of treasures! I believe in Princess Lina's vision, and I also believe in my own vision! This matter can only be truly relieved if it is handed over to Mr. Luo Ning!"

Luo Ning covered his forehead, pretending to be embarrassed: "Alas, okay, okay, I'll just send it!" But with this token alone, the old man is afraid that he won't believe me at all!" The meaning is obvious, he wants to get a little more token to spare, in case he can use it in the future.

"This is easy to do!" Ah Lan took out a small prismatic transparent crystal from his gray robe, chanted a spell in his mouth, and reached out to grab Jinli's soul, and with a slight pull, he pulled the soul into the transparent crystal. The originally transparent prism immediately changed color and was dyed with a touch of blue.

"Lord Lan, this..."Luo Ning took the crystal, always feeling that there was a subtle difference between the current Lan and the first time he saw her. Although the expression is still so cold, the attitude towards him is ......

Ah Lan didn't explain the reason, but said lightly: "As long as the soul stone is broken, his soul can be temporarily free, and explain everything to the other party." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around: "Luo Ning, you go and find out the Xingyue Stone, that child's poisonous injury can't be delayed!"
