Chapter 69 Masks
Since the beginning of the bloody war, the fighting around Blackstream City has not stopped, most of the towns have been abandoned, and the inhabitants have retreated to cities with complete fortifications, and even if there are still people living there, it has in fact become a gray trading zone or a temporary stronghold for adventurers, mercenaries, and hunters.

The town that appeared in front of Qianye was also in ruins, most of the houses in the town were burned down, and only a few were still intact. On the roof of one of the houses, there was a scarlet banner floating, on which a human head was painted, half of it was flesh and blood, and half of it was a white bone skeleton, which was indescribably hideous.
Such a banner is a sign of a state of war, and is usually used by large groups of adventurers or mercenary legions to assert territorial sovereignty and explicitly refuse to approach any forces. Dare to raise the battle flag in this environment, it is not a master to be messed with.
Seeing half of the skull flag, Chiya frowned, signaled with the headlights to approach, and slowed down and slowly drove into the town square.
The road was very quiet, not even a mouse was seen in the ruins, and no sentry came forward to stop it, but Senya was aware of many vigilant eyes in the dark with the keen awareness of a sniper. He and Hitomi got out of the car, came to the house that was still in good condition, and knocked on the door.
When the door opened, Song Zining Shi Ran walked out. At this moment, Qi Shao was dressed as an adventurer, full of bullets, sabers, and guns, and he actually had a bloodthirsty and fierce atmosphere, which was very different from his gentle and elegant temperament in the past. When he saw Qianye, his first words were: "You're late." ”
Qianye looked at the Force sundial and said, "It's only five minutes late." ”
"A minute is too late. Come in, you're all set. Song Zining beckoned, let Qianye and Ye Tong into the room, and then closed the door.
After entering the door is a small living room, the original owner of this building should have lived a relatively comfortable life, there is a fireplace in the hall, and the furniture is also very neat. Night Hitomi and Thousand Nights, both dressed as hunters, looked around as she entered the house, then pulled down the hood of her cloak, took off her dust mask and goggles, shook off her black hair, tied it up, and tied it in a ponytail at the back of her head.
Song Zining stood beside him, quietly looking at the night pupil, not knowing what he was thinking, and waited until the night pupil and Qianye took off their cloaks before saying, "This is Her Royal Highness Monroe?"
Hearing this, the night pupil turned his head and looked at Song Zining, his pupils were bottomless.
Song Zining suddenly felt that his eyes were drawn by the endless depth in her pupils, and the whole person wanted to fall into the bottomless abyss, and at that moment, his whole body was shocked, and he took a step back suddenly, and the cyan force light around his body flashed and disappeared, and the leaves fell like rain, and he escaped from the traction of the underworld.
And the night pupil's face turned a little pale for a moment, and then returned to normal.
Qianye saw that it was wrong, and immediately took a step forward, and Dongyue stood between the two, breaking the invisible traction.
Song Zining and Ye Tong's abilities are both illusory and mysterious, and they don't know whose qi moved first, but they inadvertently exchanged hands.
When Song Zining looked at the night pupil again, his expression was slightly awe-inspiring, and he deliberately avoided making eye contact with her. The night pupil stood with his eyes down, no longer looking at Song Zining.
Song Zining took a deep look at Qianye and said, "Go in, it's all ready inside." I believe it will help you in your future life. ”
The interior has been renovated, and in the center is a dining table converted into a workbench. There were several shelves next to them, full of potions and surgical tools, most of which they didn't recognize for half a thousand nights.
Below the window sat a comfy high-backed chair, on which sat a stocky old man, very ugly, closing his eyes and recuperating while moving his fingers in a mysterious rhythm.
"This is Master Lu Ju, a true master in the field of disguise and disguise, and it is also our luck to be able to invite him to help this time. Song Zining introduced with a smile.
Hearing Song Zining's voice, Lu Ju's small triangular eyes opened slightly, and he said with a stubborn face: "It is indeed your luck! If it weren't for the fact that I heard that the object of this time is special, and my old man happens to have something to use you, just with your few small fish, it is also worth my old man's hands?"
Although there are many strange people in Dafanqi, the way this master speaks seems to be to make people unhappy.
Qianye's eyebrows jumped, but he still nodded and said, "Thank you, Master." ”
Lu Ju snorted, shook Erlang's legs, and said, "Is it so blunt to say thank you?" Hearing this, Qianye and Yetong frowned together.
At this time, Song Zining walked up, pulled Qianye behind him, and said with a smile: "My brother is not good at words, but he is very good at fighting. Recently, he just slaughtered more than a dozen nobles of Eternal Night, and his murderous aura is still a bit heavy. This time, I hope you will do your best, I have a good reward. ”
Lu Ju snorted again, set up a full shelf, and then slowly stood up. However, Qianye's eyesight was very strong, and he had already seen that Lu Ju's face trembled a little when he heard the sentence 'slaughtered more than a dozen nobles of the eternal night'.
Lu Ju walked up to the night pupil, looked up and down, and asked, "Is that her?"
"Exactly. Song Zining replied.
"Okay, go over there and sit down, don't move. ”
Ye Tong sat down on the chair as she said, and Lu Ju picked up her hand and stabbed it at the fingertip with a gold needle. However, a needle went down, but it couldn't pierce her skin!
Lu Ju was taken aback, and his eyes changed a little. He fixed his mind, and replaced a golden needle as thick as a finger, and the needle was a diagonal blade, where was the needle, it was simply a carving knife.
Qianye's face changed and he wanted to speak, but Song Zining seemed to have expected it and held him down.
With this thing, Lu Ju's fingers even trembled slightly because of the force, so he cut the finger of the night pupil, and a round drop of blood appeared on the needle. He carefully dripped the blood into a long test tube next to him, watching with bated breath as it changed.
The test tube was originally filled with a colorless and transparent liquid, and as soon as this drop of blood was put in, the blood color immediately spread and spread all over the test tube. Then the color became more and more intense, and then the whole tube turned a vivid red, and then it began to boil.
During the boiling process, the blood gradually revealed gold, and after a while, it simply turned into a whole body of gold.
Looking at this tube of golden blood, Lu Ju trembled with excitement, and couldn't stop shouting: "Ancestor bloodline, it's really the ancestor bloodline!"
Qianye was a little puzzled by Lu Ju's excitement, and at this time, Song Zining whispered beside him: "Master Lu Ju's ancestors also had blood blood, but it has been almost diluted in this generation. ”
Qianye suddenly realized that Lu Ju was mixed-race. However, with the strong characteristics of the blood clan, in the end, it was gradually diluted and swallowed by the human bloodline, and it seems that the blood blood of Lu Ju's ancestors is really not very good. Whether in the Eternal Night or the Empire, the half-breeds are at the bottom of society.
Lu Ju poured the liquid in the test tube into a metal bucket on the ground, and then took more than ten kinds of potions from the shelf next to him and poured them in turn, and finally the liquid turned into a transparent color like water and was completely destroyed.
After doing all this, Lu Ju walked to another basin of liquid, dipped his hands in, and began to wash it carefully, not even letting go of the fingernails, his expression at the moment was extremely focused, as if he was performing some kind of ritual.
After a while, Lu Jufang raised his hands, and he didn't know what he was using to wash his hands, he didn't use a face towel to wipe it at all, and after leaving the liquid surface, it dried almost immediately.
He bowed to the night pupil and said, "Your Highness, please close your eyes, I want to offend a little." At this moment, the master's original arrogance and rudeness were all gone, and he treated the superior with respect like an ordinary blood clan.
Qianye was slightly stunned, and turned her head to look at Song Zining, but Song Zining looked like she had known this for a long time.
Ye Tong closed her eyes as she said, Lu Ju's hands were like the wind, quickly passing over her head, her short and thick fingers were unusually agile, and she pressed the position of the skull one by one.
Lu Ju withdrew his hands, took out his sketchpad, painted a portrait on it, showed it to the night pupil, and said respectfully: "This is a face that can be changed, do you see if you are satisfied?"
Qianye also saw the portrait, and the person on the painting was similar to the outline of the night pupil, but the face was completely two people, and even Qianye himself couldn't recognize it.
With only a few brushes, Lu Ju painted the portrait vividly and with great charm. This pen power is not inferior to Song Zining.
Ye Tong carefully looked at the portrait and put forward a lot of opinions, Lu Ju complied one by one, and revised more than a dozen drafts in a row, which made Ye Tong nod. It seems that even in a dangerous situation, when it comes to appearance problems, a woman of any status will be careful.
Then Lu Ju explained to Ye Tong and Qianye what to do next. It turned out that Lu Ju wanted to make a mask based on this portrait, and the special thing was that this mask turned out to be alive, driven by the Force, and could survive for several years. Such a mask is no longer just lifelike.
As long as it is not a strong person above the god general, ordinary secret method perception and exploration will not be able to see through the mask handmade by Lu Ju at all, and will only think that it is living flesh and blood, a part of the body of the night pupil.
Such a means is worthy of the title of master.
Qianye didn't know where Song Zining found Lu Ju, but she knew that it was expensive to ask such a person to help, and it often required to pay a special price.
"Your Highness, please lie down on the workbench. It may be painful later, do you need anesthesia?"
"Not necessarily. The pupil replied.
Then Ye Tong lay down on the workbench, Lu Ju arranged hundreds of large and small knives in several rows, opened the refrigerator, and carefully took out a thin piece of flesh-colored skin from it and covered Ye Tong's face.
Seeing that Lu Ju started to work, Song Zining pulled Qianye outside so as not to disturb the surgical process.
The two stood in front of the fireplace, Song Zining handed Qianye a cigarette, and then lit one for himself rarely.
Qianye rarely saw him smoking, so he couldn't help asking, "Something on your mind?"
"A little. Song Zining let out a sigh of relief.
"What does it have to do with me?"
Song Zining smiled bitterly: "What else can there be besides this matter? Don't you really know how much trouble you have caused?"
Qianye was silent for a moment and said, "I know. ”
"You don't know!" After a rough sentence for Qianye, Song Zining was silent, and Qianye didn't speak, just looked at the cigarette burning between his fingers.
Song Zining didn't finish smoking the whole cigarette until Fang said: "I've checked that Monroe princess, it's all incredible news." Since she has the title of royal daughter, it also means that it is the bloodline of the Blackwing Monarch Andua, who has not had a good relationship with the Queen of the Night/Lilith in the past. In addition, it is said that Edward, the holy son of the Paz clan, is bent on becoming a partner with her, and now that people have run away with you, then the holy son will definitely not give up. And that's not the worst of it, the point is, the Queen of the Night is awake now!"
Qianye sighed and said, "I know. ”
Song Zining grabbed Qianye's collar, lowered his voice, and said angrily: "You know?! You know that you also brought her back, do you think that in a place like Eternal Night, you can hide from the Holy Son of the Blood Clan, or even the Queen of the Night? What do you want to do, do you want to go to the hinterland of the empire?"
