Chapter 80: Entrustment (Part II)
"Sir, do you think Chao Ji will be like after we leave?" Xiang Ling held a big umbrella, and it rained lightly again, and the folding umbrella finally played a normal role.
Because Xiangling is very tall, let her play an umbrella, and Hua Jiuxi has nothing to worry about. There was a lot of water in the potholes on the bluestone pavement, and some small toads were bouncing around the puddles. Although most of the people in this city had a hard time, there was no threat of rebellion for the time being.
For most of the years in human history, there were no terrible wars, and one year's worth of food could be said to be prosperous.
Hua Jiuxi was stunned for a while, thinking about these extremely spanning questions. This was a common situation for him, and Xiang Ling didn't bother him.
"What did you just say, Xiang Ling?" Hua Jiuxi came back to her senses and asked her.
"I said, after we left, I don't know what Mr. Chao will do. After all, we solved a huge problem for him. Xiang Ling said.
"You'd care about this guy - that guy was so inscrutable that I certainly couldn't guess what he would do. I think it's possible to play the flute or something. Hua Jiuxi replied.
"He is the most famous onmyoji, and when he plays the flute, I am afraid that he will attract ghosts and gods." Xiang Ling said.
"How can it be so exaggerated...... Hua Jiuxi said with a wave of his hand, "Any summoning of ghosts and gods from other worlds requires a huge amount of spiritual power—and some require extremely cumbersome rituals. The kind of people who can summon 36,000 divine soldiers and heavenly generals by reciting a few incantations casually does not exist. ”
"Then I don't know." Xiang Ling said.
"Wait, I've got something to think about." Hua Jiuxi suddenly opened his eyes and said.
Xiang Ling immediately asked, "What?" ”
"Let's put it this way, you see that most of the members of our team want you to do it without saying anything—" Hua Jiuxi said.
"Where?" Xiang Ling immediately defended himself.
"That's what it means." Hua Jiuxi said, "And the person who can analyze and crack some complex spells, I am not modest, I am the only one." ”
"That's—" Xiang Ling also had to accept this.
"It's simple." Hua Jiuxi said, "You see, it is easy to find a porter on the dock, but it is more difficult to find someone who can keep accounts." ”
He was afraid that Xiang Ling would be unhappy, so he immediately explained: "Most youkai are born with strong physical abilities, so they don't bother to learn spells. And human beings do not find an innate advantage, so they will choose something that uses their brains or tricks and has technical content. And very few of them can learn, which is why there are so few surgeons. And at present, our enemies do not seem to have a sorcerer who takes it for granted. ”
"What does the gentleman mean—" Xiang Ling immediately understood, "Does Himiko exist as their sorcerer?" ”
Hua Jiuxi nodded: "Obviously—and there are only two ways to complete large-scale sabotage." One of them is to make use of some rare and powerful magic weapons. The other is to summon a monster or an evil god or something, and the latter requires a skilled priest. ”
"Since the plan to find the magic weapon has gone bankrupt - that is, what ritual does the other party want to perform, summon something terrible?" Xiang Ling asked.
"I'm just guessing. However, when explained in this way, many of the enemy's actions make sense. Hua Jiuxi said, "For example, the incense pill of the sandalwood beast - what is that, it is nothing more than a tribute." If you go to the temple to steal flowers, how much money can the flowers be sold for? But if it's a must-have to summon monsters, that's a different story. ”
"Well said, but not very useful." Xiang Ling poured a basin of cold water.
Hua Jiuxi nodded, and that's exactly what happened - generally speaking, even if you don't know what the enemy is up to, as long as they do something, you can make trouble.
The two returned to the flower house and immediately gathered the boys and girls who had nothing to do.
"Look, you go to sleep in the basement, at least two weeks, but you have to be in a state where you can be woken up." Hua Jiuxi gave the order to the blind boy after burning the corpse in the basement. There is a Himiko sealed in the child's brain, and he wants him to pretend more.
This is the safest container.
"We'll find you a playmate about your age when we're done, so don't worry." Hua Jiuxi hurriedly sent the child away.
"You three - I'll take you to see an uncle or brother tomorrow." Hua Jiuxi said to Xie Xiaodi and the three of them resolutely.
Because the children were extremely tired after a big battle, Hua Jiuxi pulled them out of bed.
Lygia was still wearing the wide dressing gown: "Is that a big guy?" ”
"That's right, a big, big person." Hua Jiuxi nodded and said, "A man on the street who may appear in countless novels and comics in the future." Let me put it this way, he's a much better sorcerer than I am—"
"That's not good—" Leech suddenly interrupted.
"Go, now is the time to get down to business!" Hua Jiuxi glared at him, but this kind of behavior really didn't have any majesty, because he was usually used to being easy-going with this kid.
Fortunately, the leech also gaged this time, Xie Xiaodi and the leech immediately followed Hua Jiuxi honestly into the vicinity of the hut rented by Chao Ji.
Chao Ji was flipping through a book in the room, but suddenly felt that two strong demonic spirits appeared, and immediately walked down and saw the two of them.
And the young man who walked in front of him didn't see a trace of spiritual power on his body - exactly like an ordinary person. However, since Hua Jiuxi boasted in front of him, he had no choice but to believe him.
Chao Ji saw at a glance that the two children were insect monsters, but their own cultivation was very high - not comparable to ordinary little demons. However, he can't be unified immediately just because Hua Jiuxi asked him to take the child, he needs to have a general understanding of what the two children are capable of.
As he spoke, he took out his volume of "Unveiling the Bowl" and opened it, and it was full of colorful and shapely* monsters, and Leech and Xie Xiaodi were immediately attracted.
Chao Ji smiled slightly: "This picture is not for appreciation, you need to destroy all the enemies above." ”
Leech and Xie Xiaodi immediately became alert and were about to prepare for battle.
The devil in this picture is sealed with a more vicious Himiko, naturally it can't be easily opened, but the rest of the little demons are insignificant.
Chao Ji took out a white flute and blew it slowly, and Hua Jiuxi could feel the powerful magic spreading like water waves from the side.
"Mana." Xie Xiaodi explained to the leech, "It conducts in the form of sound waves – just like the sonic poison I release." It seems that the person can cast a spell without having to pronounce a specific sentence. ”
I saw that the little monsters on the long scroll jumped down one after another, and as soon as they landed, they became huge.
There are probably 100 of them.
But the speed at which Xie Xiaodi and the leeches eliminated them was a little beyond Chao Ji's expectations.
Originally, I expected to be able to collect the ability data of the two through the process of destroying the little demon, but I didn't think that the black-clothed young man named Xie Xiaodi only used his five fingers to hook lightly, and the life of a little demon would be reimbursed here.
This is not a wound or a maimed, but a direct death. In the past, Chao Ji could use his back hand when he released these little demons to fight against the enemy, but now, in a few minutes, he was killed by Xie Xiaodi.
Coupled with the leeches next to it, the rotten egg packets are constantly released, and the bones of these little demons are gone, and even the waste products cannot be recycled.
But this is a little more reassuring, because there are two more powerful helpers at once.
"Classmate Hua, you said there is another girl who hasn't arrived?" Chao Ji was very satisfied with the two teenagers, and asked about the third person in Hua Jiuxi.
"Oh, she, she's asking for a weapon somewhere else." Hua Jiuxi said.
Xiang Ling took Lygia to the hotel where Zhu Yin was and asked for the spear of Hephaestus.
"I can't call the shots about this." Zhu Yin said, "That thing is not under my control, it belongs to the Soviet army, and we are just a cooperative relationship." "What she said was the truth, if Zhu Yin had autonomy, with her personality, she would have given it happily.
"Uh-huh, that's fine." Xiang Ling pushed his glasses and said, "After hearing about the existence of this thing, Mr. immediately began to fight for his trial rights." Because the Soviet Union's assistance to our country is very strong, it is almost close to selling kidney aid, so three days ago, it was specially approved. ”
Xiang Ling shook the blank piece of paper in front of Zhu Yin, and Zhu Yin didn't look at it carefully, and said directly: "Domra-you heard it." ”
A beautiful girl in white clothes and a red scarf like a doll walked out slowly, carrying the heavy gun carriage behind her.
"Give them your favorite toys for the time being—you won't be upset, will you?" Zhu Yin asked Domla.
"Here you go—Legia-san." Domra slowly handed the spear into Ligia's hand—and as soon as Ligya unhooked her hand, her arms ached, and the thing was about to hit her feet.
Xiang Ling picked it up with one hand, and it did have some weight.
"You're going to have to take good care of it—" Domra told Ligia, who nodded graciously.
"This little girl's physical strength is still too weak—I'll go back and give her some dragon blood." Xiang Ling pointed at Lijia and said to Zhu Yin.
"I think so too - but this girl is quite nimble, and her brain is stronger than those men, but unfortunately it wasn't our way." Zhu Yin said, "The distance between innate and acquired cannot be made up in many cases. ”
Hearing this, Domra nodded repeatedly, and Zhu Yin pressed his hand on her head and stroked her fiercely a few times, and Domla's face was a delicate red.
"By the way, you want to come to this spear, are you going to deal with that bird?" Zhu Yin drank a glass of red wine, "I still know a little bit about recent things. ”
Xiang Ling nodded: "None of the people we have the ability to kill people from a distance-"
"Lying." Zhu Yin suddenly said, "Dragon Girl, aren't you okay yourself?" ”
Xiang Ling shook his head: "It's far away - I'll be honest, the ability in my hand can kill targets hundreds of meters away at most, and our opponent can obviously run so far with a flap of wings." ”
"Understood." Zhu Yin said, "So I want this kind of thing so desperately, I have to say that the hot wire released by this thing can last about fifteen seconds - it seems short, but it is enough to kill large targets." However, if you don't hit it correctly, the destructive power is very high. ”
"So we let this most attentive little girl do it — and she's better at shooting than we do." Xiang Ling also pressed his hand on Ligia's head.
Legia was really flattered!
"Okay, that's no problem at this point - I know you still have a lot of things to attend to, so I won't send you away. However, if I encounter any fierce enemies, I can personally help. Zhu Yin said to Xiang Ling, "Maybe my words are a bit redundant, most of the things that the dragon girl can handle very well." ”
"You're wrong, I have nothing to show off compared to seniors like you." Xiang Ling pressed his hand to his chest and said.
"Hehe, that's, after all, I'm so much older than you - monsters, but the older you get, the more powerful you are." Zhu Yin said with a laugh.
Xiang Ling and Li Jiya said goodbye to Zhu Yin and hurried to Chao Ji's residence.
"Miss Xiangling, is it really okay to give me such a major task?" Ligia said to Xiang Ling as she ran.
"It's okay - after all, it's against our common enemy, and if you make a meritorious service, you can be regarded as selling a lot of favors." Xiang Ling's pace was fast, and Ligia could barely catch up.
Lygia was silent for a moment.
"Do you think that in this backward eastern country, which is not your colony, meritorious service is useless?" Xiang Ling asked Lekia.
Without waiting for her to answer, Xiang Ling immediately took it and said, "There are no constant strengths and weaknesses, and this country has fallen to the bottom several times in its history - but the miracle is that she can get up every time." If there is one person who can re-stitch this shattered country back together – and that could be a big burst of energy, you just have to wait and see. ”
Her words didn't seem very convincing to Ricia, but she nodded politely.
