Chapter Forty-Eight: Inquiry
The six of them waited for more than two hours before they finally lined up at the city gate.
When handing the soldier Lu Yin, all six of them gave the soldier a piece of broken silver.
The soldiers quickly checked the luggage of the six and waved them away.
After entering the city, the six of them settled in an inn not far from the east gate.
This Donglai Inn is a typical pattern of the front store and the back yard, six people chartered a yard, settled the horses, and then came to the restaurant in front of the inn according to the agreement, and asked for a table of wine and food in the corner of the hall, while eating and waiting.
The six of them sat down, and each of them took out a small pot of Beihai famous wine Beihengchun from his arms and put it in front of him.
Most of the people who drink in this restaurant are probably drinking this Beihengchun, but six people, each with a wine pot in front of them, is rare, this is the better joint code for Bai Qi and Adrian.
A tall diner in the corner of the restaurant hall seemed to notice the wine jug on the table of six people, looked at it twice, and after a while, he got up and left the table, and when he walked past the table of Bai Qi and several people, he paused for a moment and clicked three times on the table.
Then, the man settled the bill and left the restaurant.
Bai Qi glanced at Huang Mao beside him, Huang Mao understood, got up and followed the man out of the restaurant.
After Huang Mao left, Bai Qi and the three of them didn't care, and when the wine and food came up, they ate it.
After eating, a few people will go to the courtyard under the bag, waiting for Huang Mao to come back.
More than half an hour later, Huang Mao returned to the inn.
Listening to Huang Mao, the man just now was indeed the Nightingale's man, and the man took Huang Mao to the Nightingale's foothold in Beihai City, where he met Adrian, and now he came back to show them the way.
Everyone followed Huang Mao out of the inn and walked about two miles along the main street in the middle of the city, and came to the center of the city.
The Beihai Mansion is located here.
The Beihai Mansion is a huge courtyard with a width of more than sixty meters and a length of more than one hundred and fifty meters. The main gate of the courtyard faces the south street of the city, and there are two rows of armor soldiers outside the gate of the palace, which are bright and bright, showing the majesty of the owner of the mansion.
Huang Mao led everyone around the palace and came to North Street, where he walked forward for more than a mile. Turned into an alley.
The people walked around the alley and came to a very deserted alley, which had seven or eight courtyards on both sides, and four of them had gates open in this alley.
Huang Mao came to the door of one of the courtyards, knocked on the door, the door opened a gap, a person poked his head out, Huang Mao took out a wooden square sign and handed it to the other party.
Although he only glanced at it, Bai Qi still saw it. This wooden sign is actually very ordinary, what is not ordinary is a mark on the brand, which is the mage mark.
In terms of intelligence detection, mages actually have an advantage over Darkwalkers, and their magic disguises, seduction of humans, and some small magic pets are very useful in reconnaissance. So among the nightingales, there are also several high-ranking people who work part-time in the mage profession.
Nightingale Division of Butterworth City. Adrian's deputy is a third-level dark walker part-time first-level mage, and the mage mark on this wooden card should be this person's masterpiece.
It is indeed a good idea to use the Mage Mark as a token to confirm your identity, especially if there are no other Mages in the Eastern Continent.
The gatekeeper checked the token. He opened the gate and ushered the crowd in.
Adrian stood in the courtyard with the head of the Nightingale branch in North Sea City to greet them.
Due to the small number of people in the back team, there is no hierarchy between each other, if it is just Adrian himself, of course, there is no need to greet it so formally. However, at this time, Bai Qi's identity is still one of the most core figures under the command of Count Andre, almost on an equal footing with the three knights, only higher than the leader of the Nightingale, Adrian naturally wants to take his men to make a show.
Everyone exchanged a few words and came to the living room of the main house in the courtyard.
After sitting down, Adrian told several people about the results of her investigation during this time.
After determining the target, Adrian's investigation during this period of time revolved around Li Fengyi.
This Li Fengyi has an excellent reputation among the sons and brothers in Beihai City, neither lustful, nor greedy for cups, nor likes to socialize, he is hidden in the house on weekdays, either studying, or practicing martial arts, if he is placed in reality, he is definitely a hegemonic figure.
However, this man has inherited one of his father's hobbies, that is, hunting.
According to Adrian, this Li Fengyi will go out into the mountains to hunt once every ten days, and it will take two or three days to enter the mountains at a time, so it is not difficult to kidnap this person, the difficult thing is how to extract teeth from the tiger's mouth and get the immortal cultivation method from Li Guan's hands.
If you want to kidnap Li Fengyi and blackmail Li Guan, then Li Guan's situation is naturally the focus of Nightingale's collection.
Li Guan is known as the first master under the command of the King of the North Sea, this person is skilled in bows and horses, good at using a black iron spear, and his marksmanship is extremely high, in addition, this person is also a master of swordsmanship, whether it is immediately or under the horse, he rarely meets opponents in Beihaizhou, even among the fifth-level masters, he is also the strongest existence, thinking that Li Zhengkui and others are by no means the opponent of this person.
This person is not only strong in martial arts, but also extremely talented in spells, and it is said that this person has mastered at least five kinds of nine-rank spells.
Monk spells are divided into nine grades, with the lowest rank of nine grades and the highest rank of one grade, and the nine-grade spells are equivalent to the third-level spells of the mage.
Although the power of the nine-rank spell is weaker than the mage's third-level spell, it is not something that Bai Qi and they can fight against.
Bai Qi and the others had also encountered Li Zhengkui and Huo Shizhen using monk spells before, but these two people didn't actually know how to spell, they just used talismans made by others to cast spells.
Li Guan was different, he had mastered five kinds of nine-rank spells.
A low-level monk must rely on a spell to cast a spell, so to say that a low-level monk has mastered a certain spell must mean that he has mastered the drawing of the spell to make that kind of spell, and until the monk reaches a certain level and has mastered the inner spell, he will no longer refer to this specific designation.
Innate masters who don't understand spells, it is difficult to get talismans, even if they do, most of them are used as trump cards, life-saving talismans, and they will not be easy to shoot, but the monks who know how to make talismans are different, although the talisman is difficult to make, Chen Ben is very high, but he knows how to make it, and there will always be a lot of talismans in his hand to spare, between the two, there is absolutely a world of difference.
Adrian and the others investigated the three monk spells that Li Guan was sure to master, namely, the Golden Spear Technique, the Water Snake Technique, the Earth Armor Technique, and the other two spells, the evidence was insufficient to presume that he must have mastered them, namely the Python Vine Technique and the Fire Bomb Technique.
The Golden Spear Technique is a gold-based nine-grade spell that can emit an incomparably sharp golden aura.
The Water Snake Technique is a water nine-grade spell, which can condense a Xuanshui Qi controlled by the caster, entangle the enemy, restrict the enemy's movements, and slow down the enemy's speed.
Earth Armor Technique, an earth-based nine-grade spell, can form a thick armor on the target of the spell, and the defense is not bad.
These three spells have attack, defense, and control, and are the three most commonly used spells by Li Guan. (To be continued......)
