Chapter 263: The Exchange Meeting Begins
In a basement, Julia was dressed in tatters, and her hands and feet were bound in chains.
Although she is a Central Mystic Master, she has only reached the fifth ring, and there is a gap of two levels between her and Nzo Cabrera, who has already reached the seventh ring.
After only a few moments of fighting, she was already defeated and was knocked unconscious and captured alive by Enzuo.
There was a sound of footsteps, and she looked up to follow the footsteps, only to see the person who had knocked him unconscious before approaching with another person.
It was a man approaching fifty years of age, with dark blonde hair and a medium build.
The face is somewhat similar to Enzuo, but it is different, Enzuo's body looks quite strong, while the man's body is thinner.
"Gonzalo. Cabrera ......"
Julia's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of this man, because this man was none other than Gonzalo, one of the Twelve Rings of Dragons. Cabrera.
And as an intelligence officer of the Security Service, she knows that Gonzalo. Cabrera is extremely special even among the Twelve Rings of Dragon's Cultists, and is considered to be the most likely to achieve transcendence.
"Looks like you recognize me."
Seeing Julia's reaction, Gonzalo, who had already walked in front of Julia, chuckled and said.
"You're lurking in this city, are you trying to ......?"
Julia had a very bad feeling in her heart.
The city of Praia is a city of one million people, and now the city belongs to the intelligence department of the Security Service under the control of the Gonzaro . Cabrera, the Cultist of the Twelve Rings of Dragons.
It is likely that the Dragon's Sin wanted to sacrifice the city of Praia and use the city of Praia as a sacrifice to help Gonzalo. Cabrera is extraordinary.
The thought of the tragic situation in Mercer City made her heart shudder and worry anxiously.
"It's not something you need to know."
Gonzalo said coldly.
As he spoke, his eyes glowed blue.
With this faint blue light, the worried expression on Julia's face disappeared and became calm.
Eunzuo stepped forward to unchained Julia, but Julia still stood quietly, with no intention of escaping.
"Maintain normal contact with the Security Service and do not let the Security Service detect the abnormality."
Gonzalo commanded.
"Yes."
Julia replied and walked out of the cell with a respectful attitude, as if a subordinate were treating a superior.
Ranwen
"This will ensure that the anomaly in Praia City will not be discovered."
Enzuo said with a sigh of relief.
"Although she is mentally controlled by me, it is not permanent, she must be reinforced every few days, and she cannot leave Praia City."
"If you stay in Praia City for a long time, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Security Bureau, speed up the preparation process, and be sure to launch the sacrifice before the Security Bureau suspects."
Gonzalo frowned slightly and commanded.
"Father, I'm going to get people to speed things up."
Enzuo hurriedly responded.
As Julia had guessed, Dragon's Sin planned to sacrifice the city to Gonzaro. Cabrera is extraordinary.
Gonzaro. Cabrera is his father, and once his father achieves transcendence, his position in the Dragon's Sin and even in the cult will inevitably rise.
And he himself will also reap the benefits of achieving high rings.
So, for Gonzaro. Cabrera is a great achievement, and he is happy to see it, and he is happy to do his best for it.
……
A day later, the meeting began, and Ferrin and Lindy rode in a horse-drawn carriage to Villa McGallo, also in the Tulip District.
Villa Megalo is the villa of the Count of Megalore, and the Megalore family lent it out for the purpose of organizing an exchange meeting of the Mystic Arts.
The Megalo family, along with the Freeman family, belonged to the most influential earl family in the kingdom.
It's just that unlike the Freeman family's influence that is biased towards political economy, the influence of the Megalo family is more on the mystical side.
Every generation of the Megalo family has members of the Security Service, and some of them have held high positions in the Security Bureau.
The reason why Count Freeman asked Ivy to join the Security Bureau was because he felt the weakness of the Freeman family's influence in the Security Bureau, and wanted Ivy to increase the influence of the Freeman family in the Security Bureau.
The carriage stopped in the plaza, and Ferrin and Lindy stepped out of it.
"Vice-Bureau."
Ivy and Essie, who had made an appointment to meet here, walked over.
Ivy wore a long blue dress with layers of lace on the chest, and Assie wore a long dress with white and dark green accents.
Neither of them knew that Lindy had been officially promoted to elder, so the title was still the same as before.
"I'm going to a meeting later, I can't go with you, you can go with Felin."
Seeing the two people walking over, Lindy said apologetically.
Originally, it had been agreed to go shopping together, but suddenly there was a high-level meeting of the secret art organization that needed to be attended.
"It's okay, the exchange will last for a few days, and then there will be a chance."
Ivy and Essie didn't care.
In contrast to Lindy, the three of them walked in the Villa Magaro.
There are often people passing by, some in groups of three or five, and some alone.
Considering that Villa Mergallo was not open to ordinary people during the meeting, it was clear that these people were just as many mystics as they were.
"Have you ever been to an exchange meeting before?"
Ferrin looked around and asked Ivy and Ash with interest.
"I didn't."
"Neither do I."
Ivy and Essie both shook their heads.
Ivy joined the Security Bureau only half a year earlier than Fei Lin, and it was naturally impossible for a newcomer to join the Security Bureau to participate in this kind of exchange meeting.
And the time when Ash joined the Security Bureau was actually similar to Ivy, so naturally she didn't have the opportunity to participate.
"Is there anything you're interested in?"
Ferrin asked.
"I'm not particularly interested."
Elsie shook her head.
"I want to go to the shop opened by the Gold Society to see if there are any alchemy items suitable for me."
Ivy said.
When she left Conston City, her father transferred a large sum of money into her account and used it for her to buy alchemy items.
"Then let's go to the shop opened by the Gold Society."
Immediately, the three of them inquired with passers-by, confirmed the location of the Gold Society's shop, and walked in that direction.
"Do you think there's a lot of people secretly watching us?"
After walking a distance, Elsie suddenly frowned slightly.
"It's true that there are a lot of people who are secretly watching us......"
Fei Lin, who was very keen, naturally felt these scrutiny.
But he didn't take it too seriously, Ivy and Elsie are both very rare beauties, and it is normal for two to be eye-catching at once.
I just don't know what people will think of myself with the two of them, cow dung next to two flowers?
"To be precise, I'm secretly looking at Fei Lin......"
Ivy shook her head.
"Look at me?"
Fei Lin was stunned for a moment, but not enough to react quickly, these people probably recognized his identity.
will be arranged to participate in the exchange meeting, they must all be elites of the secret art organization or potential newcomers, well-informed, and know that the information about him may be great.
"Let's go."
After figuring out the reason, Fei Lin was suddenly in a good mood and walked forward first.
Since he was secretly looking at him, the word cow dung next to the flowers must have nothing to do with him.
The three of them walked all the way to a two-story single-family building on the west side of the villa, which was the shop opened by the Golden Society of large forces.
When you enter the store, you immediately see that there are glass cabinets one after another, and in the glass cabinets are items with detailed labels next to them.
There are all kinds of appearances, all kinds of types, but without exception, all of them belong to alchemical items.
At this time, there were already a lot of people in the store.
Some were browsing at random, while others asked the clerk to take out a certain alchemy item and look at it carefully, with a strong intention to buy.
There were so many people that the staff in the store couldn't take care of them, so many people were not accompanied by the clerks.
However, when they saw the three of them, a middle-aged woman dressed like the store manager greeted them.
"Mr. Sox, two young ladies, what type of alchemy items do I need to buy?"
Seeing that the middle-aged woman recognized herself, Fei Lin was not surprised, after all, there were many people who recognized him along the way.
"A defense-type alchemy item."
Ivy spoke.
"Defense-type alchemy items? Come with me, three. ”
Knowing that it was Ivy who wanted to buy alchemy items, the middle-aged woman Danica McKella said to Ivy with enthusiasm on her face, reaching out and making a gesture of please to lead the way.
With the three of them, she came to a counter, and she pointed to the counter and said.
"The name of this alchemy item is the Heart of the Sea, and it is a Type II alchemy item, which can form a wall of water in front of you as a defense when activated, and can resist the attack of the five ring energy levels."
"This alchemy item is called the Guardian Earring, and it is also a Type II alchemy item, which can form a columnar light shield around the body when activated, which can resist the attack of the six-ring energy level."
……
After introducing the five defense-type alchemy items, Danica looked at Ivy and observed her reaction.
"The defense level is a bit low."
Ivy shook her head slightly, not satisfied.
"It's my mistake, three of you, please follow me to the second floor, I believe that the alchemy items on the second floor will satisfy you."
Hearing Ivy's words, Danica was not disappointed but very happy.
Even this high-quality Type II alchemy item could not be looked up to, and there was no doubt that this woman was a very wealthy and big benefactor.
Under Danica's lead, the three of them came to the second floor.
The second floor also has a glass counter, but there are a lot fewer alchemy items than downstairs.
"This is the Type III Alchemy Item Spirit Gauntlet, after activation, the body will turn into a disembodied form, and all physical attacks will be ineffective."
"This Type III alchemy item is called the Ring of Steel, and when you activate this ring, your body will be thirty times harder than steel, and it will be difficult for an attack under the high ring to hurt you."
"This necklace-type Type III alchemy item is called Soul Guard, and when activated, it can resist the soul attack of the Nine Rings at most."
Danica introduces Ivy to three defense-type alchemy items.
