Chapter 601: Obsidian Recovery
"There are a total of one hundred and ninety-two obsidian that have fallen into the world, and we have already notified the ministries to collect them, and there may be some minor troubles, but I think they should be able to solve them on their own. Chiba put together a list of them, along with their names, addresses, and other information.
"What are you going to do with those obsidian when you get the dragon bones?" asked Mu Fengye casually looking at the list.
"Those obsidian are not infused with will, so they can be forged like ordinary weapons, and I plan to ask Miss Shimizu to help Noreen build an obsidian armament. Sojuro showed a design drawing, which was a uniquely shaped double-edged sword, seventy centimeters long, which was not very small for Noreen.
"For me?" Noreen said, surprised.
Sojuro walked to the corner of the laboratory and took out two wooden models from the cabinet there.
"If you want to use those obsidian to build these two knives, you have to learn how to fight, not only relying on those abilities, but more importantly, your own fighting skills, this will be given to you first, and before those two knives are forged, let Saya teach you some basic combat methods. Sojuro walked up to Noreen and shoved two model knives into her arms.
"Do you have to fight those monsters to slash at close quarters with them?" Noreen's abilities were only acquired a few days ago, and her knowledge of dragon bones was only to investigate their members for revenge, and she didn't know how they fought at all, "I thought I could just use your abilities." ”
"The only power that can be believed in this world is our own power, and if Obsidian disappears, we can no longer rely on its abilities, so everyone has to hone their own abilities, and that is the only strength we have as human beings. ”
"Now, Sojuro, how many of those one hundred and ninety-two obsidian pieces are innate abilities?" Mu Fengye suddenly asked.
"Sixty-seven pieces. ”
"Is it so much?!" Although he already had a bigger number in his heart, he was still taken aback.
This means that Norin will have sixty-seven different powers at the same time when she picks up those two knives! But Sojuro also said just now that how much ability she can exert depends on her own situation, she has not participated in that survival game, and her own physique can only be regarded as average, if she doesn't exercise well, I'm afraid that she won't be able to release even a tenth of her ability, and she will be tired and lie down.
"There seems to be something wrong with the recovery on the eighth rider's side. Chiba answered the phone and mapped the scene on the screen, "This is a small town in Iraq, a soldier picked up obsidian a few days ago and used its power to annihilate an entire armed army, and now his troops have taken it." ”
"Did the negotiation fail?"
"Pretty much, those soldiers don't have a good impression of the keel, the eighth horseman has failed to send people to talk to him several times, but she can't resort to force, otherwise getting involved in the war will bring more trouble to the keel. ”
"Is it because of this that I can't take it all the time?" asked Mu Fengye.
"Yes. ”
"Let me go. Noreen said, looking at the screen.
Chiba thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed to her proposal, which was her first step to prove herself to the keel, and the one she had to take.
"Xiaoye, you go with her, try to let her act alone, and you are responsible for picking her up in case of failure. ”
"Even if you don't say I'll go. ”
The two of them left the headquarters after retrieving Noreen's obsidian and headed to Iraq, where the Eighth Cavalry was located, where the war had been raging for a long time, but there was no end in sight.
"When we arrived, it seemed to be the army camp in front of us. Mu Fengye opened the obsidian and received a message from Chiba, "The target is called David Crane, an infantry non-commissioned officer, this is his photo, can you remember it?"
Noreen observed the photo on Mu Feng's obsidian at night, and the soldier had a mole at the corner of his mouth, which should not be difficult to find.
"Well, I went in. Noreen chose the distance of her instantaneous body, and disappeared in front of Mu Fengye's eyes in the next second.
"Mr. Mu Feng. ”
"Ah, Miss Nanai, so you're here, I thought ......"
"Did Miss Qing Shui really let her join the keel?" Nanai didn't have time to listen to Mu Fengye's chatter, so he asked directly.
"I know that Nanai-sama doesn't have a good impression of her, because she used to be the enemy of the keel, but she has realized her mistake and is now trying to prove herself. Miss Nanai, please give her some time, I believe in everything I have seen and felt, and I believe that Miss Shimizu made the right choice. Mu Fengye said firmly.
Nanai didn't say anything more, maybe Mu Fengye was right, but she really couldn't treat everything as if it hadn't happened.
On the other side, the town has become a camp for soldiers, who have just won a battle and seem to be busy with a celebration feast, and the protagonist of this feast is none other than David Crane, who has annihilated an entire army.
Removing aura is an absolutely useful ability for those who possess obsidian, but it is not so magical for ordinary people, because they can't feel obsidian aura in the first place.
Noreen hid in the corner of the alley, and stumbled upon her own loose colored hair, which was so dazzling that she could recognize at a glance that she was not a civilian here. So she put on a hood and hid her long hair under her clothes.
It was late at night, the feast was still going on, and the sound of singing and laughter was heard, and they had taken the place earlier than expected, so they could recharge their batteries here for the rest of their lives.
At the entrance of the alley, there were a few soldiers enjoying a dinner, and they were talking merrily, not noticing that they were already being targeted.
Noreen took note of the men, then rolled over and jumped onto the roof, hiding in the darkness of the night.
"Hey, a few brothers over there, don't have to patrol tonight, come and drink together!" The four soldiers beckoned to the soldiers who were also four in the distance, their faces were covered by the night and steel helmets, and they couldn't see very clearly, but they all carried guns on their backs, and they didn't say a word, they didn't feel that the unprecedented killing intent was coming!
"Wait, who are you?" one of the soldiers, who was not yet drunk, suddenly reacted, these people were indeed very strange, so he pulled out his pistol behind his back and slowly walked towards the four, "Raise your head." ”
The soldier in front of him slowly raised his head, and the man was stunned, because this soldier actually had a face exactly like himself!
"Who the hell are you?!"
"Boom!" the butt of the gun slammed into his abdomen, causing him to faint in pain.
"What's going on!" the others picked up their guns on the ground, but their feet were already limp under the influence of alcohol, and they fell to the ground before they could take a few steps, and they didn't know what to say.
The bullets were loaded, and the shadows aimed at the drunken soldiers.
"Stop. Noreen jumped from the roof and stopped them, "They're just soldiers, serving the country, we don't meddle in the war, we only get what we need." ”
The shadow suddenly dissipated into the darkness, and the restlessness here attracted the attention of others.
"What's going on?"
"What, I'm just drunk, forget it, today's banquet is almost over, carry them back." "The person who spoke seemed to have a higher rank, and even dressed differently from the others, and after giving the order, he was all the soldiers around him, and now he was the only one left.
"Whew-"
The shadow on the ground slowly extended to the alley, and a figure gradually rose from the ground.
"Ugh!" the officer received a blow to the back of the neck, and the shadow slowly dragged him into the alley into a pile of debris to cover him.
Under Noreen's control, the officer roamed around the town with impunity, and with him as his own eyes, it was much easier to find that David Crane.
The soldiers all saluted the officers along the way, completely oblivious to the fact that the man in front of them was nothing more than a reflection, and although they had the same memory, they had been under the orders of others.
The officer walked into a room where David Crane was.
"Where is that......" Noreen let the officer say something casually, and left the house, walking to a place where no one was and returning to the darkness, "Let's find a time to do it again." ”
In about twenty minutes, the soldiers all fell asleep, and since there were no hostile forces around, no one was needed to patrol tonight, and this was the best time for Noreen to attack.
Noreen jumped from the roof of the house, lightly bypassing the drunken soldiers and the distant tent, and slowly approached the house.
Most of the townspeople had fled the war, but some had stayed, and now that the fighting was over, it was much safer for them to stay than to flee.
There were only two people in the room, one was a soldier dressed in ordinary clothes, and the other was David, who had been promoted for meritorious service.
The two of them were all drunk, just like the soldiers in the tent outside, but even then they had to keep quiet, as if they were discovered, they would cause trouble for the dragon bones again, and that was the last thing she wanted.
Norin walked over to David's bed and found him handcuffed on his left hand and a box with a code attached to the other.
The box doesn't have a keyhole, and the combination lock is also a more advanced form, so if you don't know the password and press it randomly, you may trigger something like an alarm.
It must be obsidian in it, otherwise it would definitely not be so tightly protected!
However, the computer is not at hand now, and there are no electronic devices around, so it seems difficult to crack this lockbox.
The ability to copy has already been applied to five people, and Noreen is gradually feeling physically exhausted, and even if she gets obsidian after using it again, it will probably be difficult for her to leave here.
