Chapter 321: The Past
Holm took the three pieces of letter that Joshew had given him and read them repeatedly, but Joshew didn't bother him anymore, and walked directly to the sleeping baby girl in the room after Holm acquiesced.
"You're not going to take her?"
Ciri saw the bulge on the baby's forehead, which did not look like a human feature.
"Growing up a program sounds like a good thing, but I'm not ready to raise the next generation."
Qiao Xiu stretched out his finger to touch the sleeping baby, but after thinking for a moment, he gave up on this action.
Ciri is human, so she can't feel the difference between this baby girl and the Chaos Demon, but the blood flowing in Qiao Xiu's body reminds Qiao Xiu that the sleeping baby in front of him is not the real Chaos Demon......
She is something similar to the Chaos Demon, except that the magic on her body does not appear gray like the Chaos Demon.
The color of the magic in this young creature's body was similar to blue, and Qiao Xiu's hand moved slightly as she looked at her.
"It seems to be engraved on her arm... Magical inscriptions? Ciri instantly saw the intricate emblem on the baby girl's arm, entrenched on the arm like a tattoo.
"Is this the magical inscription of that system?"
Qiao Xiu tried to discern the meaning of the magic inscriptions on the baby girl's hand, but with Qiao Xiu's current knowledge of magic, the inscriptions were completely chaotic graffiti.
"I... I don't know, I can recognize the inscription system of the god of flowing water and healing, as well as the god of thunder, and the system of scorching flame and holy light, but the inscription system on it ......" Ciri searched his memory carefully for a moment, and finally could only shake his head weakly.
This kind of academic problem is really difficult for Ciri, a caster of the practical school.
"It seems that after a while, I can only ask the gray-clothed man to come and identify it."
Qiao Xiu didn't think that a baby girl who was casually abandoned on the street would have such a ... With intricate inscription insignia, her birth was not simple.
"Would you like to ask him?" Ciri gestured to Home, who was sitting there, staring nervously at Josiu's every move.
"There's no need for this, the dark elf Thousand Faces may know more information than her adoptive father."
Qiao Xiu took out a small bag of gold coins from his clothes and threw it directly to Holm, Holm stretched out his hand and steadily used this bag of gold coins, wandering around the bottom of Squirrel Street all year round, it is not enough to have the ability to collect intelligence.
Holm also looks like a good thief.
"There are twelve gold coins in it, which I can use to heal my injuries, and... You don't want this child to be malnourished, do you? Qiao Xiu pointed to the baby girl who was sleeping in the swaddling clothes.
Holm held the money bag in one hand and the three pieces of letter paper in the other, and the words of gratitude that he had wanted to thank were interrupted by a gesture from Josiu.
"Looking forward to your performance tomorrow."
After leaving this sentence, Qiao Xiu directly pushed open the door with Ciri and left the tavern.
When Qiao Xiu came to the outside of Squirrel Street, it was already late at night, and a crow landed on the roof of the tavern and tilted its head to look at Qiao Xiu.
"A thousand faces... Who did you ask her to come over and spy on? ”
Ciri immediately noticed the crow on the roof of the tavern.
Most of the birds and creatures in Nolan are owls, and it is almost impossible to see a wild crow, so any crow seen anywhere in Nolan is definitely the embodiment of a dark elf.
Qiao Xiu made a boo gesture to Ciri, and then pulled Ciri directly to a shop across the street from the tavern.
The shop belonged to the Black Dove, and their leader, the Dark Elves, had already greeted them in advance, and Joshua and Ciri made their way to the second floor of the shop unimpeded, where Joshua could clearly see the tavern and the tavern alley on the opposite side.
Joshua and Ciri didn't have to wait long before a goblin appeared in the alley next to the tavern.
"That's the goblin I beat away." Ciri recognized the sneaky goblin, but this time Qiao Xiu's target was not the goblin, and behind the goblin was a figure shrouded in white robes.
Underneath the robe was a knight's helmet-like armor that directly obscured his appearance......
"He's the goblin employer... The goblin said that the target of the other party was here. ”
In the alley, the goblin was dancing and talking to the figure, and Joshua relayed it to Ciri in turn.
"The Dark Elf Thousand Faces told you?" Ciri glanced at the crow standing on the tavern, repeating its clicking motions in mid-air with its claws.
Ciri was reluctant to admit it, but the crow was typing with its own claws, sometimes with a beak.
It seems that the dark elf has practiced how to send text messages in the form of a raven in order to be a qualified spy.
"Hmm." Qiao Xiu nodded, continuing to watch the movement on the side of the tavern.
But just as Qiao Xiu and Ciri were talking, the other party seemed to notice something, and immediately raised his head and looked at the second floor of the shop across the street.
Qiao Xiu's gaze met that of the guy who was shrouded in robes, and a wonderful feeling rose in Qiao Xiu's heart.
This is the same touch as 'stand-in messengers will attract each other', Qiao Xiu can be sure that this guy must have some connection to the Chaos Demon Clan, but it feels like a human.
And the other party made the decision to run away almost instantly when he found Qiao Xiu.
'Thousand Faces, stop him!' ’
Qiao Xiu's order on the text message, the crow that was originally standing on the roof instantly changed back to the posture of a dark elf.
The longbow appeared in the dark elf's hand, and three arrows detapped in just a second, hitting the ground beneath the opponent's feet!
His pace stopped, and as soon as the dark elves were about to shout a line like 'Stand still, don't move,' a flood of magic swept through the alley.
The dark elf's vision was obscured by this, but she still caught up with the figure who fled into the depths of the alley with a torrent of magical power.
Qiao Xiu watched the dark elves and targets all disappear from view, and immediately opened the window and jumped directly from the stairs to catch up.
"Judging by the torrent of magic released by that guy, it's not an ordinary spellcaster." Ciri followed closely behind Qiao Xiu with his staff.
As soon as Qiao Xiu ran into the alley of the tavern, he saw the dark elf standing alone at the end of the alley...... At this time, the ground at the end of the alley has been completely destroyed... Ruined in one fell swoop.
The ground was like a cake that had been cut open by an overheated knife, leaving only a huge hollow with a horribly neat edge.
"I'm sorry... His Royal Highness Qiao Xiu. The dark elf leaned against the edge of the wall, her calves stained with scarlet blood.
"Did he run away?"
Qiao Xiu slowly walked to the end of the alley and glanced at the divided ground, which connected to Nolan's sewers.
The sewers were connected to the mines dug by the dwarves, and the guy had run into Nolan's beneath the ground, and even if someone were to track him down now, it would be in vain.
"Are you okay with your injuries?" Qiao Xiu came to the side of the dark elf, and the wound on her leg looked like it had been torn by something.
"This kind of injury can be easily recovered by the strength of the Inquisitor."
Although the Dark Elves regard the executioners of the Inquisition as enemies in this life, she wields the same power as the Inquisitors, and that is... Gray mist.
In ordinary life, the dark elves are well hidden, and even the dark wood elves have not discovered the truth about the magic in the dark elves' bodies.
"His Royal Highness Qiao Xiu, that guy... It can break the magic in me. "The dark elf said a piece of news that surprised Qiao Xiu when he repaired his body with the gray mist.
"Breaking through the gray fog?" Qiao Xiu was slightly stunned, and during this period, the dark elf directly handed Qiao Xiu a rucksack, and there were several arrows stuck in the strap of the rucksack.
"It's something he's 'left behind'... Also, I saw some strange inscription marks on his hands. The dark elves said.
“……”
Qiao Xiu didn't give the dark elf any more answers, because Qiao Xiu's attention was already attracted by what was in his backpack.
It was a palm-sized piece... Flagstone.
When Qiao Xiu touched this 'stone slab', the lines engraved on the surface of the stone slab suddenly glowed pale blue.
"Magic Machine?" Ciri leaned over and stared at the slate with an intricate inscription on the back and a strange picture on the front.
"I don't know, but I'll find out if I take it back and study it." Qiao Xiu said.
