"This is it. ”

Li Xuan took Li Zijie and the others to the location where the Demon Hunting Association speculated on the violent magic reaction for the second time.

It is a commercial street. In addition to the large and small shops, the most headache for Li Xuan is several hotels and inns with a huge flow of people every day.

But with the results of the first investigation, Li Xuan still put the first target on the magic king Yu Dongshui.

There are two reasons for this:

First, among the suspects scheduled for the first magic reaction, only Yu Dongshui lived in an inn here; second, according to the memories of the team members, the time when the second violent magic reaction occurred happened to be around the time when Li Zijie led the team to raid Yu Dongshui.

Although Li Zijie promised that it would be absolutely fine to be too Dongshui, Li Xuan still came.

It's not that I don't believe Li Zijie's words, but in the face of these two coincidences, if I didn't witness it with my own eyes, I would never be able to let go of it in my heart;

And who can guarantee that Li Zijie was not blinded by effect-type magic at that time?

It was still after deploying a complete guard ring that a few of them walked towards the inn.

Li Zijie's skills in other aspects other than combat were basically learned from Li Xuan, so it is not surprising that the two are equally cautious.

But when they came to the door and saw the owner of the room, they found that Yu Dongshui was no longer there.

After asking the shopkeeper, I found out that Yu Dongshui rented a carriage in the morning and left with a box of things.

"Impossible! Captain Lifu is checking at the city gate, how can he go out of the city?"

The Viscount of his fellow travelers was the first to speak.

"A few pairs of naked eyes, in the eyes of the Magic King, shouldn't they be nothing?"

Li Zijie glanced at the excited viscount.

"That's right, as long as you go through the disguise, coupled with the tricks that the magician has accumulated over the years, it won't be a problem to hide from the world. ”

Li Xuan said: "But this also reflects the weakness of the Magic King's heart. When they heard that I was coming, they immediately evacuated. ”

"Then why didn't he run away after seeing me yesterday?" asked Li Zijie.

"Maybe there's something that has to be done to clean up the aftermath. ”

Li Xuan was also a little puzzled: "In short, the goal is basically determined, but it cannot be ruled out that this is a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain." Li Zijie, you and others continue to stay here, waiting for the Demon Hunting Association to further track the results. ”

"Why me again?" Li Zijie was a little unwilling, "If you don't let Peng Jintao stay, I haven't rested for a long time." ”

"That's fine. Li Xuan also trusts this veteran of the Monster Bureau:

"Remember, don't startle the snake. Let's not wander around the streets in the uniform of the Monster Bureau after we leave, waiting for further instructions. ”

"Yes, Director. Peng Jintao turned to Li Zijie and said:

"You kid, you're pretty quick to sell me. Don't forget to go back and tell me I'll be back later, or if they think I've had an accident, they'll ask you!"

"Tell you about home?"

Li Zijie smiled understandingly: "Don't worry, I'll tell you." After all, this is no small matter. ”

"So...... Huh?" the director saw a man in the uniform of the Monster Bureau riding a fast horse and coming downstairs.

"Li Ju!"

The person who came hurried up and handed over a document: "This morning, another abnormal magic reaction appeared!"

It's that seal again, and the number I've seen in the past few days is already equivalent to the sum of the previous director's life.

Li Xuan finished reading quickly and said, "It's not far from here, it should be the entrance of this commercial street." ”

"How's it going this time?"

"There were only three times, but the first time lasted a full half a pillar of incense, and the last two times combined were not short. ”

"What about the time it happened?"

"It wasn't long before Dongshui left. ”

At this moment, the team member who acted as a coachman in the morning reminded: "Is it related to the animal trainer in the morning?"

"What do you mean that acrobat, and what does he have to do with the Magic King?"

Although Li Xuan was skeptical, he still asked him to describe the appearance of the beast trainer.

When describing the height and body type, the viscount and some of the team members who had seen Yu Dongshui seemed a little excited;

But when it came to the other party's dark circles, everyone else turned their attention to Li Zijie and the others, who had close contact with Taidongshui yesterday.

The two were silent for a while, and then Li Zijie spoke: "No, at least not yesterday." ”

Peng Jintao also nodded in affirmation.

It's a near-decisive clue that, if matched, can almost determine the target.

But Li Zijie still insisted on yesterday's conjecture and did not give it away to Dongshui.

Peng Jintao: It's quite fast to sell me, it's the turn of that unknown little white ...... No, if you don't count the dark circles, it should be a little white face...... I chose to keep it? It can't be that I fell in love with him, right? No wonder I don't have a girlfriend until now.

"Then, it can't be ruled out that after being checked by Li Zijie, it was caused by insomnia all night, right?"

Li Xuan himself felt that the reason was a bit far-fetched, and he said to the others:

"Then the plan remains the same, after returning to the county tomorrow, I will ask the government to issue a wanted warrant, and this guy must be caught, after all, he is still the most suspicious. ”

"Yes!"

Under the holy huge crystal, more than a dozen tables were arranged in a circle around the floating crystals, waiting for their respective masters to arrive.

The room is lit up by a myriad of glowing crystal chandeliers, and while the décor is not luxurious, it is very beautiful, calming the viewer's agitation and keeping the attendees calm.

This is the Demon Hunter Society's [Watchmen], where the [Communication Crystal] that maintains the smooth operation of the General Assembly and all its chapters, and monitors abnormal changes in the world;

It is also the room where the presbytery is held.

Here, face the secret treasure left by the Eternal Emperor, and offer loyalty to the creatures of the world;

The soul-to-soul meetings held are enough to maintain the stability of the world's power structure and protect the lives of the entire race from the suffering of monsters.

This is how the attendees, known as the Watchmen of the World, are called.

The doors of the room were slowly pushed open, and unlike other meetings, where attendees rushed in, they walked in one discipline after another.

Instead of sitting directly in their seats, they took the sanitary tools they had prepared and cleaned the entire room.

Such rituals are performed reverently in front of the Communication Crystal, which symbolizes the will of the Immortal Emperor, who believes that the Immortal Emperor's Heavenly Spirit will protect them from the hands of demons.

It didn't take long for them to stop what they were doing, put their tools in their places, and sat down in their seats.

The participants were all big names in the Demon Hunting Association, including the former punisher, the current president and vice president;

The top demon hunters who used to be famous in their respective regions have retired to serve as elders in the general association.

At this time, he was sitting here, holding the most sacred meeting of the Demon Hunting Society.

"I declare that the thirty-six hundred and seventh meeting of the Demon Hunting Society, the 'Elders' Summit,' begins. ”

Zhuo Mingde, who is the president, is the old man who was in charge of monitoring the world's abnormal magic reactions and giving instructions a few days ago, spoke:

"This meeting started five days early, and I think you know why. ”

There were still no speakers. The president took out the report materials of the past few days, and the relevant forms for approving the list of foreigners to enter Rock County:

"Here is a record of reports of anomalous magical reactions in Rockshire in recent days, and here is a list of foreigners who are still allowed to stay in the vicinity of Rockshire within the deadline. ”

"There are races on the list that can use magic, but unfortunately there aren't. ”

This is normal, after all, there is not a single one in the subhuman race who can do magic, at least until now.

And the races that can do magic are basically beasts.

Although these "beasts" are sane, considering that their strength and appearance can cause a certain amount of panic, the Demon Hunting Association basically does not issue certificates to such races.

These races won't be fed either, and they don't want to go to the human world for a walk.

"In other words, someone is smuggling. ”

The word "man" is not used accurately, but it is enough to convey the president's meaning, and the attendees knew what the weight of the phrase was.

"Did the Bureau of Monsters investigate anything?" asked one of them.

The president only shook his head regretfully:

"According to the feedback from the Rock County Chapter, the Monster Bureau has preliminarily determined that the source is a human. But as we all know, humans are incapable of using magic. The possibility of the Grand Mage's reincarnation is also zero, as the Communication Crystal does not give the Grand Mage's unique magic reaction mark. ”

"But it still gives us a clue that at least this human might be an accomplice to the target, helping to distract us. If this person can be caught, he will probably be able to find some information about the target. ”

"Can you tell what kind of magic the other person is, or what type of magic they are?" said one of the vice presidents.

"At present, it can only be preliminarily determined that the opponent's magic is not a large-scale offensive magic, but the effect class cannot be 100% certain, after all, because of the interference of that human, the monster bureau does not seem to have found the true location of the magic reaction. ”

If the target's magic can be confirmed, it is completely possible to deduce the target's race;

Even races that the Demon Hunting Association doesn't know can roughly guess the opponent's combat power level, and carry out targeted intensive training to take the initiative in the encounter.

But this time the information is pitiful, and even the appearance of the target is still a mystery. Even if you run into it outside, you don't know its identity.

"Damn! What the hell is going on with that human!"

The vice president, who had just spoken, said angrily.

"I heard that he is the premier magician of the Begret Empire, and he was once given the title of Magic King by the current emperor. This person was still mediocre in the early stage, and it was not until the past two years that he burst onto the scene, and he became famous with his self-created difficult magic tricks, and no second magician has yet been able to replicate his magic. I guess it's a genius. ”

"Is it possible that you became famous after getting help from your target?"

"It's unlikely. Regardless of whether the target has such extraordinary wisdom or not, what good is it to make a human magician famous?"

The president changed the subject: "I don't think the problem is with this so-called magic king, he is just a pawn of the target to play cover, and the real terrifying target exposes himself. ”

"You mean its true purpose?"

"Not bad. The president said the results of his thoughts in the past few days:

"In this case, openly and unscrupulously using one's magic power again and again is undoubtedly a declaration of war against the Demon Hunting Association, what race would be so bold as to start a war with the current Demon Hunting Society?"

The others fell silent again.

"There is no doubt that there is no race of strength that can match us. Not only because we have punishers, but more importantly, our warriors are good enough demon hunters to be ten. ”

The guildman's brows furrowed: "So, I thought of another possibility, the danger is no longer limited to the Demon Hunting Association, but extends to the scope of all human beings. ”

After half a ring, the president said in a heavy voice, "What about multiracial unity?"

"Impossible. ”

"President, as far as I know, there is a serious conflict between the three magical races in the [Divine Bless Forest], not to mention the more chaotic interspecies relations in the West. If they want to attack humanity together, why would they come to the territory of the powerful Begret Empire to expose their whereabouts, and directly attack the countries of the weaker Lear Alliance by surprise, wouldn't it be a better choice?"

Gong Changhong, one of the vice presidents, objected.

This time, the president had to pause and think carefully about his thoughts.

After all, the idea of multiracial union is just the inspiration of my own whim, and if you really want to think about it, it is really not convincing.

This "arrogant" magic reaction is more like a single person acting alone than a declaration of war from a certain organization.

But is there any other explanation?

For a long time, there was a dead silence. Until one of the elders gave his opinion:

"What if that human being is actually our target, and only a little bit of a trick was used to mislead us into the cycle we just had?"

"A special attack on the wise?" the president's voice had begun to appear to match his age:

"And how do you explain that a human can use magic, and what qualifies him to be our target?"

"President Zhuo, do you remember the race that fought against the Immortal Emperor for decades?"

The chairman's face became gloomy, and his eyes were like a bottomless lake, revealing a chilling sense of unease.

"Origin Demon?"

Origin Demons, a legendary race that was active more than 600 years ago.

Each of its people has a different kind of magic.

But it's not always available at the beginning.

Before they realized that their position had diverged from the rest of humanity, they were just terrorists who hated the world and put that hatred into action.

Their unifying trait is that they are extremely hostile to the world, and their physique has changed dramatically, and to say that they can tear a bear apart with their bare hands is to underestimate them.

Legend has it that their leader, the Demon Emperor who later unified the demon race, was at first, like everyone else, and did not use his own powers.

Until he gets the dial.

No one knows how he learned to use magic overnight and gave the same people the tricks he used.

In this way, most of the world of ordinary people was taken away in just a few months.

Although there were also some famous rebellion battles and tragic epics during this period, no one could stop the pace of the fall of the West.

Later, the power of the Demon Emperor was no longer limited to humans, and unlike the different magic of each human being, other races, including the races that could do magic in the first place, the magic they obtained after [demonization] was the same within the race, at most the strength was different.

This further accelerated the so-called [revenge] of the demons.

But soon, the heroes of humanity descended, and the Immortal Emperor of the East rose, though not yet able to use magic.

But humanity was finally able to stand on a united front, and together with other persecuted races, began the struggle to defend their homeland and resist the demons.

Later, the birth of the Great Magician instantly opened the difference in combat power between the two sides, and began the long-awaited counterattack.

Until the remnants of this evil race were driven into the depths of today's [Demonic Mountain Range], and a powerful treasure was left behind, passed down from generation to generation by a mysterious race, guarding this forbidden mountain range.
