Chapter 42 Bait and Letters
Chapter 42 Bait and Letters
Sweat was running down Nolans' forehead, and he felt like he had vaguely guessed the truth of the matter!
Kylo had been aiming for Thousand Faces from the beginning, and his purpose was the artifact that Thousand Faces possessed!
If his speculation is correct, then the thousand faces that he and Lore are tracking are probably just a decoy to lure them away!
Just as Nolans was deep in thought, he suddenly felt someone pulling his clothes, Nolans came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and saw Lore frowning and looking at him with displeasure.
This situation is still wandering, and Nolans is indeed a little unqualified as a tracker!
Nolans smiled apologetically, then stretched out his left index finger, tapped the palm of his right hand, made another gesture of holding his sword, and finally pointed to the portal in front of him.
Lore hesitated slightly, and then summoned the "Edge" Excalibur according to Nolans's meaning, ready to break into the door directly!
No matter what kind of situation is inside, you have to go in and take a look to know, since the situation is unknown, then face it with the strongest attitude!
The "edge" divine sword was blazing and flamed, Lore held the sword in his hand, the uneasiness in his heart suddenly calmed down, and he was on guard, Lore had already put on a posture to meet the enemy, and after taking a deep breath, Loel flew up without hesitation and kicked the laboratory portal in front of him!
The corners of Nolans' eyes twitched when Lore's violent way of breaking the door made Nolans' eyes twitch, even if there were two silent magic scrolls that eliminated most of the volume, the remaining muffled sound was still extremely harsh in the dark night!
But now is not the time to think about these questions, although Nolans has a vague conjecture, but how it is, we still have to see how it is!
Nolans was not a combatant in the first place, so naturally he would not take the lead, and when Lore walked through the door with his sword, Nolans followed suit!
Once they had a good look at the lab and saw the scene in the lab, both Lore and Nolans frowned.
The room was very spacious, but it seemed very crowded, with dozens of neatly arranged experimental tables, colorful and varied experimental materials and alchemy equipment!
However, what is puzzling is that there are no suspicious figures in the laboratory at this time!
But Lore and the others still didn't dare to let their guard down, Lore was on guard in front of them, and Nolans was behind Lore staring carefully at the cyan dots on the compass, and then comparing the scene in front of them!
However, after seeing that thing, Nolans couldn't help but show a laughing and crying expression!
It was a bottle, a bottle with the cap open, and most of the unknown liquid in the bottle
Although this liquid Nolans is not completely sure, the bottle Nolans and Lore are both recognized!
Because that bottle is exactly the same as the one they used to trick the thousand faces into drinking!
Lore turned her back to Nolans and couldn't see Nolans' expression, she was still cautiously searching any suspicious corners of the room, but she didn't notice the inconspicuous drink.
"Nolans, where is he?"
Lore searched hard, but couldn't see anything suspicious, and thought he had fallen into the illusion of a thousand faces.
Nolans had already figured it out, and the answer he had just speculated on had been verified!
Nolans sighed deeply, then walked out directly behind Lore, stood side by side with Lore, stretched out his finger and pointed to the bottle on the table, and said with a wry smile: "Captain, don't look for it! It's there!"
Hearing this, Lore hurriedly raised his sword to be on guard, but he didn't see anything, and couldn't help but be a little strange: "Nolans, where is he? Why can't I see it!"
Nolans shook his head and said astringently, "Captain, when I say it, I mean that bottle of drink!"
"Drink?" Lore was puzzled at first, but when she saw the familiar bottle, her face suddenly changed, and she seemed to have guessed something!
However, Lore still refused to give up, doubting that all he saw was an illusion: "Nolans, the aura of life!"
Nolans was helpless, but he still pinched his fingers, and casually summoned a life aura that detected the breath of life, and unswervingly circled the entire experimental table, including the bottle!
When the aura was extinguished and the connection with the magic lead in Nolans' hand was severed, Nolans sighed and said, "Captain, now we can be sure, we have been fooled." ”
Lore's face was uncertain, and he didn't reply, but another voice suddenly came from behind the two:
"What do you mean?"
Lore and the others looked back at the same time, and found Aitch and Myron standing cautiously in the doorway.
"Edge, Myron, you're here!"
Edge's face was tense from the moment he heard the sound of Lore breaking the door just now, if he hadn't been stopped by Myron, he would have rushed over immediately!
Waiting patiently for a while, Aitch couldn't hear or see, anxious, or ignored Myron's persuasion, held the sword in both hands, and ran over in a hurry, however, as soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly heard Nolans' words.
"Lore, are you alright?
Lore shook his head, indicating that he was fine, then pointed to the bottle on the bench and said, "Oh! That's it! Damn! We've been tricked!"
Aitch looked at the bottle, eyebrows
His heart wrinkled slightly, and he asked, "Our plan was seen through by that illusionist, but how did he escape?"
"It's not that he ran away, it's that we chased in the wrong direction in the first place!"
"Nolans, be clear!"
"Alright then, I'm just speculating, but it's not far off!" Nolans hesitated and said, "Edge, you're right, the man in black who secretly helped us does have her purpose, but it's not as we speculated, her purpose was not us in the first place, but the illusionist with the artifact 'simulation'!"
"You mean, the real purpose of that man in black is the artifact in the illusionist's hand?"
Nolans was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head: "I don't know, to be honest, I can't even decide if the man in black is related to Kylo!"
Nolans's words are half-true, maybe they are true, but Nolans still insists in his heart that the man in black has some kind of connection with Kylo!
It's just that if he really said that, then what he had speculated before, Lore and they could think of it to some extent.
The Men in Black's goal is an artifact, but if the Men in Black are related to Kylo, is it understandable that Kylo's target is also an artifact?
First the "puppet", then the "simulation", and both of these artifacts appeared around Lore and the "edge" in her hands!
So what is the role of Lohl?
Bait?
Also, Kylo suddenly appeared next to Lore as a transfer student, and then disappeared inexplicably, and now it is very likely that he is secretly watching them incognito, or rather paying attention to Lore!
So, is Kylo a trustworthy companion or an enemy to be wary of?
There are only three things that can be determined at the moment:
First, Kylo has his own purpose, and this purpose is likely to be related to Lore or "Edge";
Second, Kylo and Thousand Faces and the people behind him are certainly not all the way;
Third, Kylo should have nothing to do with the Arazawa royal family.
That's all Nolans can deduce now, and no more can be known, so Nolans is also very conflicted now, according to his wishes, he wants to believe Kylo from the bottom of his heart, but the judgment of reason has been telling him:
Kylo, there's a good chance he's the enemy!
However, Nolans didn't know what to think, and subconsciously concealed his inference about Kylo.
Perhaps, Nolans simply didn't want to destroy this little adventurer!
Nolans smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face did not show it at all, and the Aiqi and the others did not suspect him and continued
He said, "I don't care what the purpose of the man in black is, but we have tracked it all the way, is there something wrong with the compass? But haven't you tested it beforehand? Why is this happening?"
Aitch wondered if Lore had been sure that when he told them the truth in the Ice Labyrinth!
Nolans was also helpless about this: "When we tested, it was completely fine, and there was basically no possibility of being dropped in the middle, but the method of using fluorescent agent to track and locate an illusionist was taught to me by the man in black, and the compass and fluorescent drink used for tracking were also provided by her! Who knows if she has a way to do anything on the compass in advance? After all, none of us know how to understand alchemy, and it is possible to be deceived!"
As Nolans guessed, the compass that Al gave them was indeed problematic, and the method she provided was fine, and the compass and fluorescent drink could also be used, but it was Vess, a true genius alchemist, who made this set!
As far as Vis is concerned, all it takes is to add a second-stage control magic circuit to the compass, and Al has already expected that after they get the compass and the fluorescent drink, they will definitely try it first!
When Nolans tried the compass function, the compass was still normal, but after trying it once, the two-stage control magic loop would automatically open up, and then switch to another tracking mode, and the original fluorescent agent would naturally not be able to be used!
"But the target we're tracking has been moving all the time, so someone must have brought us all the way here with this bottle of water!"
Lore grimaced and did not respond.
Nolans smiled bitterly and took Edge's words, and said, "How do you find it? From the time the target stopped here to the time we chased here, it was at least five minutes, and it took so long that even a turtle would have run away a long time ago!"
What Nolans said, Lore naturally thought of it, which is why her face was so ugly.
It's no wonder that Lore isn't angry! In this case, she didn't show any outstanding performance from beginning to end, she didn't realize that the Kylo who came back was fake, she didn't realize that there was a problem in the plan, and she even made her friends sad because she tried to win over a thousand faces!
The more Luo Er thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and after inadvertently catching a glimpse of the bottle, the flame in his heart suddenly broke through the boundary point, and in a fit of anger, he raised his hand and slapped the bottle of fluorescent drink away!
And it was because of Lore's angry venting that he happened to bring a new discovery to several people.
The moment the bottle flew out, a gray envelope slowly fell from the laboratory table to the ground!
