Chapter 824: Space Magic Stone
"Teacher, what do you think about this matter?" Jing Chen, looking at the direction in which Nangong Chunxue disappeared, wondered. Originally, although he had some doubts about this matter, his vigilance had been removed by Ling Xue's words, and after suddenly experiencing Nangong Chunxue's warning at this moment, Jingchen was a little hesitant about that task.
"All I can say is that what this little girl said may be true. The Beast Court, or the Duolong family back then, was not really monolithic, because there were checks and balances in it, so the various families that were attached to its main body were all in a competitive relationship. Therefore, this operation may not be led by the Nangong family, and the Nangong family is estimated to have been punished a lot in the matter of the Giant Beast Empire last time, so this time ......" Rios's tone was also a little uncertain, but the doubts he said were exactly what Jingchen didn't understand.
Jingchen pondered for a long time and said slowly, "Teacher, I always feel that this time the matter is not so simple, I want to go and see." ”
"Well, it's okay, it's a bit complicated this time, but it's good for you to experience more things in the future. Rios said in a deep voice.
"Twitter......"
A chirp suddenly sounded, piercing the quiet night sky, Jingchen looked up in surprise, only to see a silver light instantly across the dark sky and shoot towards him.
Seeing this touch of silver mang, Jingchen was overjoyed, and the silver winged dragon owl, who had been away for more than a year, actually came back at this time, which undoubtedly gave him a little more confidence to participate in this operation.
The Silver Winged Dragon Owl spun on the top of Jing Chen's head and slowly landed on Jing Chen's shoulder, not only that, but also rubbed his head against Jing Chen's face affectionately. It made Jingchen itch for a while, and he couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, where have you been for more than a year? Why are you only coming back now?"
Listening to Jing Chen's words, the silver winged dragon owl seemed to suddenly remember something, and its pointed mouth opened, and a small gem was spit out from it, this gem looked very ordinary at first glance, just like those fake crystals on the roadside stalls that fooled the little girl, but when he looked closely, Jing Chen suddenly found a huge and vague energy circling in a strange way.
"Is this ......?" Jingchen looked at the silver winged dragon owl suspiciously, and saw that the little guy was anxiously gesturing towards Jingchen, but unfortunately it was difficult to understand what the little guy wanted to express at this time with Jingchen's eyesight.
"It probably wants you to acknowledge this thing, which might be something special. Rios' voice sounded in Jingchen's mind.
"Confess the Lord?" Jingchen repeated Ríos's words in confusion.
And hearing his words, the silver winged dragon owl was unusually excited, obviously Jing Chen just said the point, seeing the silver wing dragon owl like this, Jing Chen no longer hesitated, stretched out the middle finger of his right hand and made a slight luck, and a drop of bright red blood suddenly seeped out of Jing Chen's skin. This kind of ability was also discovered by Jing Chen during this time, I remember that once, after he finished cultivating the starry sky, he suddenly found that the pores on his skin seemed to be a lot bigger, so he was curious for a while, and with a slight effort, he actually squeezed out a few drops of blood.
At that time, Jingchen still thought it was interesting and tried it a few more times, but unfortunately, in addition to being able to squeeze out blood, Jingchen didn't find any practical use for this new ability, so he just gave up, and it was just right at the moment.
"Buzz ......"
Just as Jingchen's bright red blood fell on the gem, a silver light suddenly pierced the night sky, and a small buzzing sounded, and the entire space trembled.
"Oh no, this thing is moving too much, get out of here. Rios's voice sounded again, he didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary gem would make such a loud noise when it was dripping blood to recognize the Lord, for some strong people, this was like a lighthouse, so he hurriedly reminded Jing Chendao.
Jingchen is no longer the child who didn't understand anything at the beginning, and at this moment he also understood that the real person is sinister, just when the silver light rose, Jingchen grabbed the silver winged dragon owl and the gem at the same time, and his body trembled and disappeared in place, and then he trembled a few times, and he returned to his room.
Not long after Jingchen's figure left, two powerful men with amazing momentum appeared in the back garden.
I only heard the man standing in the east of the sky, "Old ghost Mo, you are not dead yet, why, do you still want to mix with this pool of muddy water?" The man's voice was extremely cold, and as he spoke, the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to drop by several degrees.
"Old fellow, you're not dead, am I going to die? This muddy water looks good, not only do I have to go, but many of your old friends are coming. Mo Lao, who was standing in the west, said slowly.
"Hmph, even though it's good to come, some accounts should be settled. As he spoke, his figure flashed and disappeared into thin air.
Mo Lao did not leave immediately, but his eyes were slightly closed, and he felt it carefully for a while, before shaking his head slightly, and when the figure flickered, the silver light rose suddenly, and when the silver light dispersed, Mo Lao's figure had long disappeared.
At this moment, Jingchen's room was shining with dazzling silver, but fortunately, Jingchen had already used the trap formation he used to capture the Silver Winged Dragon Owl, so that the breath of this gem would not leak out.
"Teacher, what is this? Why does it keep emitting silver light?" Although the silver light of this gem was extremely dazzling, there was no trace of energy fluctuation, which made Jing Chen a little puzzled.
"Although I can feel some spatial energy fluctuations, I don't know what this thing does, at least I've never seen it before. A white light flashed, and Rios had already appeared beside Jingchen.
The silver-winged dragon owl on the side couldn't help but scream when he saw this "culprit" who had captured him in the first place, and Rios smiled slightly and said, "Still called." Saying that, a little middle finger of his right hand, a white light lit up and shot straight at the silver winged dragon owl, and the feathers on the silver winged dragon owl exploded instantly, like a feather duster, and the whole body churned, and in an instant, he dodged and hid behind Jing Chen, and a pair of small eyes looked at Rios vigilantly.
Seeing that the silver winged dragon owl was finally quiet, Rios didn't say much, quietly looked at the gem suspended in the air, and suddenly the silver light shot out by the gem shrank suddenly, and all of it retracted back into the gem, this is not over, the gem crossed a silver ray, straight into Jingchen's chest.
"What?" Jing Chen was surprised to see the silver rays that shot at him, but he suddenly found that his body couldn't move.
"Get out of the way!" Rios's voice suddenly sounded, but unfortunately it was too late, only to see that silver light instantly shoot into the clothes on Jingchen's chest.
"Xiao Chen, how is it?" Rios looked at Jing Chen with a slight frown.
Jingchen touched his chest suspiciously, and replied with a frown, "It's nothing, it's just that there are more things here." As he spoke, he lifted his clothes, only to see a shining gem hanging from Jingchen's neck by a thin silver thread.
Seeing this scene, the silver-winged dragon owl chirped happily, and suddenly stabbed Jingchen's chest, this time Jingchen did not hesitate, and was about to grab the silver-winged dragon owl, but only to see a flash of white light, and the silver-winged dragon owl had disappeared.
"Space Magic Stone, is this a Space Magic Stone?" said Rios in surprise, with a tremor in his voice.
"Space Magic Stone, Teacher, what is a Space Magic Stone?" Jing Chen looked at the gem on his chest suspiciously, he could be sure that the Silver Winged Dragon Owl had entered it.
Rios glanced at Jing Chen meaningfully, and said slowly, "This space magic stone is very rare, so it is said that it is only possible to find it in the core of some pure space energy crystals, and even if it can be found, there are only two or three. After a pause, Rios continued, "This space magic stone doesn't have much effect on us, but it can put the magic beast into it, not only that, the most terrifying thing about this space magic stone is that it can speed up the growth of the magic beast that enters it." ”
"How is it possible?" Jingchen's eyes widened and looked at Rios, increasing the growth speed of the Warcraft, this is really too terrifying, just like this Silver Winged Dragon Owl, the juvenile Silver Wing Dragon Owl Rios in his heyday can easily deal with it, and if it is an adult Silver Wing Dragon Owl, Rios may not dare to pat his chest to guarantee that he will definitely be able to win the other party, which shows the strong strength of the adult Warcraft.
Today is the day of the departure of the Night Falcon operation, and before seven o'clock, Jingchen and a few people walked out of the Zeus Academy station, and a few people had a casual meal and walked towards the west gate of Cologne City. From the Zeus Academy station to the West Gate, the straight-line distance is not far, but due to the special layout of the Cologne City, the road to the West Gate is a bit "tortuous".
At a quarter past seven, several people finally came to the meeting place, and when they looked up, many demon hunters had already come here, but the level of these demon hunters was very low, seeing this, Jing Chen couldn't help frowning, until now, he still didn't understand, these people who only had E level, or even only F level, came to join in the fun.
His eyes swept around, and suddenly Jingchen's eyes paused, and then his face also revealed a solemn color, he saw a person, a person he didn't really want to see - Xing Mochen, a name he would never forget. Seeing the appearance of Xing Mochen, Jingchen's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, since he was a child, Sedum often told him that he must be ruthless to the enemy, and any kindness to the enemy is cruelty to himself, so he killed the wolf-headed trio at the beginning.
As if sensing the faint killing intent from Jing Chen, Anton and the others looked at the place where Jing Chen's gaze was staring suspiciously.
"Is it Xing Mochen?" Yue Yanran was the first to exclaim, and then her snow-white little hand also covered her mouth.
"No, isn't Xing Mochen a magic swordsman who uses a crystal sword, why did he use a magic wand instead?" Ling Xue observed much more carefully than the others, and at this moment, the man who looked the same as Xing Mochen was waving the magic wand in his hand, smearing Xing Hengfei and talking to a few teenagers beside him.
"The strength is not right, when Xing Mochen and I fought at the beginning, it was not at this level, so who is this person?" Jingchen also found a difference, although the person in front of him looked like the missing Xing Mochen, but in terms of words and deeds, or strength, he was more than a step worse than Xing Mochen.
"I saw this person when I went to pick up the mission that day, and it seems to be called ...... What's it called......" Furding thought with a frown, and for a moment he couldn't even remember the other party's name. "That's right, it's called Star Sword, it's a sixth-year student of the Holy Spirit Royal Academy, I remember that when I was in the guild that day, this kid made a big joke over there. Saying that, Fuding laughed, obviously, this star sword's joke is not small.
"Oh?" Jing Chen glanced at the star sword meaningfully, and then turned his head away, looking slightly thoughtful.
"Xiao Chen, I heard that Xing Mochen has two elder brothers, and his second brother heard that he is studying at the Holy Spirit Royal Academy, but that person doesn't know how to learn and has no skills, so he doesn't really value their family, so I think it's this Star Sword. Ling Xue said with some hesitation, in her impression that she had only heard Xing Mochen mention it in an action organized by the academy, Xing Mochen was disdainful at that time, and at this moment, it seemed that this star sword really couldn't be compared with Xing Mochen's bearing.
"Oh, what about his eldest brother?" Of course, Jingchen wanted to know more about the person who had wanted to put himself to death.
"Xing Mochen respects his eldest brother very much, I heard that his eldest brother is an official in our imperial army, but unfortunately when the beast tide broke out last time, his eldest brother disappeared, and when he mentioned it that time, he seemed to be very sad. Ling Xue tried her best to recall Xing Mochen's words, but unfortunately it was a few years ago after all, and she didn't care about it at the time, so it wasn't so easy to recall now.
Jingchen nodded, although what Ling Xue said was useless for the time being, but at least let Jingchen know that this person was not Xing Mochen, otherwise, Jingchen might make a move tonight and kill this person who had been trying to kill him.
Time flew by, and the alchemy bell rang, half past seven.
The demon hunters who were standing leisurely everywhere also came to the west gate, where many staff members of the Free Demon Hunter Guild had gathered. At this moment, most of these staff members were wearing cyan power suits, which was the same color as the work clothes they usually wore, and the woman who looked like a young woman also appeared in the field. The woman was dressed in a light blue power suit, and her tight curves outlined a devilish figure, and many demon hunters drooled when they looked at the towering twin peaks and the plump waist.
"Hmph!" The woman snorted coldly, and those sluggish low-level demon hunters instantly appeared in Jing Chen's heart as if they had been struck by lightning, and a look of shock appeared in Jing Chen's heart, just now the woman who was the president of the Cologne City Demon Hunter Guild seemed to be a very ordinary cold snort, but Jing Chen found the shadow of a sonic attack in it. Brows couldn't help frowning, Jing Chen also raised his vigilance against this young and mysterious president, after all, there was already a warning from Nangong Chunxue, although Jing Chen didn't mention last night's incident to anyone, but he couldn't ignore it, this was a matter related to his own life and that of his companions, and he couldn't be careless.
"First of all, on behalf of the guild, I welcome all demon hunters to join, not much nonsense, let's go now, in order to ensure the confidentiality of the operation, please don't ask about the specific content of the operation, I will naturally inform you when the time comes. The woman said in a deep voice. At this time, the west gate of Cologne City behind her was slowly opened.
Seeing this scene, all the demon hunters, including Jingchen, were stunned, even if it wasn't wartime, it was not easy to open the city gate in advance, not to mention wartime, this kind of thing needed the special approval of Marshal Perry in Cologne City at this moment. From this point of view, this action of the Demon Hunter Guild was at least approved by the military of the Holy Spirit Empire, and maybe there was also the support of the military, so that the crowd that was still a little noisy was also quiet in an instant, even if they didn't trust the Demon Hunter Guild, then the Imperial Military had no reason not to believe it.
The Demon Hunters followed the team of Demon Hunter Guild staff in groups of three or five, and slowly drove out of Cologne City.
The morning sun spilled into the city lord's mansion, and at this moment, Perry was practicing martial arts in the back garden of the mansion, and at this time of the day, he had to practice martial arts for a while and eat something, and then go to the city to inspect it.
Suddenly, a herald ran over, saluted Perry with a standard military salute, and said loudly, "Report, marshal, in the morning, the second prince ordered the city gate to be opened, saying that the demon hunter guild had a special operation, and because the prince was present, the brother who guarded the city let him go." ”
"What?" Perry retracted his move, and stood there a little confused.
Not long ago, the second prince Ling Yun came to Cologne City with two guards without alarming anyone, and Perry was still a little puzzled at that time, this prince did not go to school well in the Holy Spirit Royal Academy, what was running around. But thinking that the beast tide was invading, the Holy Spirit Royal Academy should also come to participate in the war, so he didn't ask much. But today, the second prince not only ordered someone to open the city, but also in the name of the Demon Hunter's Guild to act, which had to make Perry a little suspicious.
"You take my prayer note to the Demon Hunter's Guild and help me bring their president, and say that I have something important to discuss. With that, he waved the herald away.
The Lord's Mansion and the Demon Hunter's Guild were next to the central square of Cologne, and it didn't take long for the heralds to run back.
"Newspaper, Marshal, the people of the Demon Hunters' Guild said that their president carried out a special operation and went out. ”
"What? The president of their Cologne City branch actually went too?" Perry's heart was even more puzzled, although in previous years, when the beast tide invaded, the Demon Hunter Guild would also organize some team tasks, but few of the presidents personally participated, at most it was the vice president who presided over, and this time it was the president of the Cologne City branch who personally presided over it, this matter was a bit unusual.
Thinking of this, Perry nodded, let the herald go out, and sat in the hall by himself, thinking about this matter, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit weird, the president of the Demon Hunter Guild actually organized the task himself, and he hadn't greeted him in advance, and the second prince Lingyun who opened the city gate was still passed. These things are worn together, and how you look at them has a strange smell.
Thinking of this, Perry shouted, "Someone!"
A guard pushed the door open and walked in, "Your Excellency!"
"Take my order and go to the Demon Hunters' Guild and give me a detailed list of their participation in this team mission. Perry said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" the guard turned and pushed the door open.
Looking at the back of the guard's departure, a touch of uneasiness suddenly appeared in Perry's heart.
Coming out of room 2, Jingchen took Anton straight to the rest area, and when they came to the rest area, the two not only found Yue Yanran's three daughters, but also saw Fuding with a helpless face.
"How's it going, what kind of mission do you see?" Jingchen asked.
"Well, I saw it, but that mission is a bit special, it's ......"
"Team mission, right?" Before Ferdin's finish speaking, Anton on the side grabbed the white road.
"How do you know?" Ferding looked at Anton suspiciously, he had just come back, and before he could talk to the third girl, Jingchen and the others arrived, if it weren't for Anton's smug smile, Ferding would probably think that he would have known the secret method of prophecy, which has long been extinct.
"Dongzi, don't make trouble, let Fuding finish. Jingchen frowned slightly, although after listening to the old man's explanation, theoretically it should be more content than the information announced in the taskbar, but it may not be as rich as the above.
"Oh......," Anton replied, no more.
"Boss Jing, that team task requires all the people who take the task to gather at the west gate of Cologne City at half past seven in the morning the day after tomorrow, it is an S-level team task, and the most strange thing is that this task does not limit the level of the person who takes it. In other words, whether it is a squad or an individual, whether it is an E-level or an F-level, it can be taken, and there is only one collection of information for this task, so many people are onlookers, and not many people really take it. And most of the people who received it were also low-level demon hunters and demon hunters. As he spoke, Furding looked at Jingchen suspiciously, and he couldn't figure out the situation for this little-to-say task.
"Hmm. Jingchen responded, and immediately fell into deep thought, according to what the old man said, this should be a very critical task, but why is the guild's task announcement so simple, and the level of people involved is not limited, you know, performing tasks in the field is not more than people, many times more people are burdensome.
"Boss, what kind of plan do you say this guild is playing, so that those who have the ability dare not go, and those who are not able to do it go to a large number of people, can this complete the task?" asked Anton, who also knew some inside information.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, I think the guild must have its own reasons for releasing it like this, otherwise it will never label that task as S-class, let's go first, go back and find out the situation." "This task is not a child's play, although maliciously abandoning the task will not be removed, but a large number of points will be deducted, and even relegation is inevitable.
The six had just walked out of the Free Demon Hunter Guild when they were stopped by two men dressed in the costumes of the Demon Hunter Guild staff.
"Who are you?" Jingchen frowned slightly and looked at the two, seeing that the two of them did not have any malicious intent, he didn't care too much.
"May I ask if you are Mr. Jingchen?" the man on the right hand bowed slightly and asked respectfully.
"Well, I am. Jingchen nodded in response.
"Great, I've been instructed by the president to deliver letters to a few of them. Yesterday I went to your academy station, and your tutor said that you were not there, so the two of us have been waiting for a few people here, and finally we have waited for you. This is what the president asked me to hand over to Mr. Jingchen, please take it away, and the two of us will retire. As he spoke, he took out an unsigned letter from his bosom and handed it to Jingchen.
Looking at the figures of the two men disappearing into the guild, Jing Chen looked down at the letter in his hand and muttered, "The president's letter?
"Chen, do you want to open it and take a look?" Yue Yanran couldn't help but remind, Jingchen is now a celebrity in Cologne City, and standing here like this has attracted the attention of many demon hunters.
"Look, of course we have to see, but we can't be here, let's go back to the station, come to me. After speaking, he led a few people and walked quickly in the direction of Zeus Academy's station.
Not long after a few people left, a very ordinary-looking young man walked out from the side, glanced at the direction in which Jingchen and the others disappeared, rolled his eyes, and left in a hurry.
Coming to the room of the station, Jingchen tore open the letter, only to see that the content of the letter was very brief, "S-class team mission Night Falcon operation, wait for Mr. Jingchen and the members of your team to participate in the ......" The following is the relevant content of some operations, Jingchen frowned after reading it, and handed the letter in his hand to Ling Su.
After a while, after everyone had finished reading the letter, Jingchen raised his head, glanced at the few people around him, and asked slowly, "What do you think?"
Anton was the first to speak, "Boss, how do you look at this action, how is it a little unreliable? According to what I said above, our target is the three-headed lord-level demonic beast, although it is said above that the three-headed lord-level demonic beasts are all in the weak period, but I think this is not very credible, no matter how powerful the demon hunter guild is, how can it find that the wisdom is not inferior to that of adults, and when the cunning and suspicious lord-level demonic beasts are injured?" Moreover, even if there are really three weak lord-level demonic beasts, how can we clean them up?
Jingchen nodded and looked at the others noncommittally.
After listening to Anton's words, Ling Su spoke, "Although the place I don't understand is different from Xiaodong, I am not optimistic about this operation, even if it is to kill a lord-level demonic beast, it should be an SS-level task, and if you need to kill three heads, it is an S-level mission, which is obviously suspected of confusing the public, and you have also heard what Fuding said, this task is not limited to the level of the person who takes it, let me ask, what can so many low-level people do when they get there?"
"Boss Jing, I originally thought it was strange, but now I feel that this matter is even stranger, you see in this letter, there is no mention of why the three-headed demonic beasts are weak, to what extent, these lord-level demonic beasts, even in the entire demonic beast mountain range, are also very powerful existences, unless it is a strong person of the level of Mo Lao and Marshal Perry, I really can't think of how these lord-level demonic beasts are injured. Fording also raised his own doubts.
Listening to the words of a few people, Jing Chen also nodded, no matter how you look at this matter, it is a little weird, just when he just wanted to speak, Ling Xue on the side suddenly spoke, only to hear Ling Xue say, "If you say why this demonic beast was injured, maybe I can explain it." Half a month ago, Uncle Perry had taken the Magician Regiment and those empires led by the Ice Venerable out of the city once, and that operation was extremely secretive, and then Uncle Perry and the Ice Venerable were injured, and many members of the Offering and Wizard Corps were also injured, and I heard that there was also a reduction in personnel, but this matter is highly confidential to the military, so outsiders don't know, I think these lord-level demonic beasts are probably left at that time. Ling Xue's words instantly attracted the attention of several people.
"It's like this, if the weakness of those lord-level demonic beasts is the result of fighting with the men and horses led by Marshal Perry, there is no doubt about this matter, the Free Demon Hunter Guild will cooperate with the official of the host country in wartime, this is already a matter of convention, and this operation is probably to complete what Marshal Perry has not done. Jingchen analyzed. It's just that a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, no matter how you look at it, this matter is not as simple as it seems, but now he doesn't see any doubts.
"Boss, shall we take it?" asked Anton.
Jing Chen hesitated for a moment, glanced at a few people, and said slowly, "Let's vote, and raise your hand if you agree to take it." ”
Anton, Fuding, and Ling Xue raised their hands first, looking at a few people, Ling Su also slowly raised his hands.
"Pick up!" Seeing this result, Jingchen finally made a decision and decided to take over the task tomorrow.
It was a dark night, dark clouds blocked the moon in the sky, and a black shadow floated from nowhere, slowly falling in front of the window of Jingchen's room.
"Bang bang bang......" The dark shadow tapped lightly on the window.
"Who?" Jingchen jumped off the bed as soon as he floated, his body trembled and came outside the house, only to see a black shadow sweeping in the direction of the back garden, Jingchen hesitated a little, and followed.
After a while, the two came to a grove in the back garden.
"Who are you?" Jingchen looked at the dark shadow warily.
"Don't take that task, it's a trap. The black shadow's voice was a little blurry, and he couldn't hear the men and women, but what the black shadow said, Jingchen could hear clearly.
"Trap?" Jing Chen slowly repeated the words of the black shadow.
"Yes, that's a trap laid by the Beast Court, don't go. The voice fell, and the black shadow wanted to leave as soon as he made a mistake, and Jingchen's body trembled, and he had already come to the black shadow's side, the black shadow was stunned, and the black veil covering his face had been torn off by Jingchen.
"It's you!" Jing Chen looked at the pretty face in front of him in a little stunned, it turned out to be Nangong Chunxue, who had been kidnapped by himself.
"You!" Nangong Chunxue bit her silver teeth, and a pale flame suddenly rose, and when the flames dissipated, she was already gone.
