Ji Xun decisively left the secret altar of the Silver Moon Sect.

On second thought, it is not impossible for Atai to become an old believer.

When Ji Xun was undercover in the Silver Moon Sect, the goal of the Silver Moon leader was very clear, that is, he wanted to get close to Kak Dashao and break into the circle of high nobles.

But the people of the Lionheart family are not stupid, and they are not completely unguarded against the pollution of faith, and it is difficult to pollute the core layer.

At present, it seems that the people of the Silver Moon Sect should be some of the people who have infiltrated the Lionheart family.

The leader of the Silver Moon has a far-reaching layout.

Ji Xun also felt that the Silver Moon Sect was a big trouble.

As for how the head of the Great Sword Hunter Regiment is going to save people, that's her business.

What should have been done has been done.

Ji Xun didn't plan to meddle in things.

It doesn't matter if it's exposed.

Anyway, the killing of Atai can't be hidden, and the old school of Silver Moon is an enemy itself.

He didn't care about the amount of the bounty on his head.

What Ji Xun has to do now is to go to the Hunter Guild to hang up encrypted information and pass this news to Chu Jiu.

Although the "Thirteen Kamen Riders" are mysterious and their members are very powerful, they may not know about the situation of the Silver Moon Sect.

The old believers were polluted by their beliefs, and it was very difficult to obtain information.

Even a powerful official organization like Bureau X would have a hard time grasping accurate information about the Silver Moon Sect.

Now the situation is a bit complicated.

Ji Xun basically confirmed that the Silver Moon Sect and a certain big nobleman had secretly colluded, or rather infiltrated.

And because of the gods of the Silver Moon Believers themselves, they have mastered some special methods that are not known to the people.

Ji Xun has little interest in those conspiracies,

I just feel that Chu Jiu's assassination operation this time may be in trouble.

Not long after, Ji Xun walked out of the crowded Hunter Guild.

The intelligence has been hung out in an encrypted way to recruit teammates, and as long as Chu Jiu comes to the city, there is a high probability that he can see it.

After making this preparation, Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief and strolled down the street.

After he killed Ah Tai and obtained the origin of the gluttonous breathing method, he originally planned to return to the City of Innocence immediately and go to Shangbang Prison to see who the mysterious master was.

Now that his plans had changed, he was going to stay a few more days.

Just now, I also inquired about some news on the black market from the intelligence merchant, and now Lionheart City is very lively, it seems that there are many big nobles and masters.

The more lively it is, the more it makes people feel like a storm is coming.

As far as Ji Xun's understanding of Chu Jiu's personality is concerned, even if she knows the danger, she still won't give up the assassination.

After all, it's a blood feud.

And "Thirteen Kamen Riders" also have a legend on the black market, but if they take on the mission, they will definitely complete it.

They will definitely go on the ninth day of the first month, and someone is waiting for them to go.

So in the recent Lion City, there will inevitably be a shocking battle.

Ji Xun is very interested in this level of battle.

Thinking of this, he changed his outfit and went to the tavern again.

Ji Xun has been in the aristocratic circle for a while.

He felt that if he really assassinated a high-ranking nobleman, it was only in certain public occasions that the probability was greatest.

Like dinners, balls, or whatever.

That kind of place has a complex number of people, and it is easy to blend in and approach the target.

He had previously inquired about some news from the intelligence merchants, and learned that the Lionhearts would be holding a charity auction in two days.

At that time, almost all the nobles of the Lion City will receive an invitation.

Ji Xun is now a wanted criminal, so he naturally has to be careful everywhere.

He wanted to find a suitable identity disguise, blend into the charity auction, and go to see the excitement.

I waited for another half day in the tavern.

The streets came alive at this point.

Brotherhood gangsters rush across the streets looking for someone.

Others didn't know what this group of gangsters was going to do, but Ji Xun knew that it was the news that Atai was killed and finally revealed.

But it's an ideal time.

Even if someone guesses who did it, there is a high probability that the murderer has left Lion City for such a long time.

At the same time, he also sighed that the female head of the Great Sword Regiment was doing a good job, and he didn't expose it in advance with so many people.

Ji Xun ignored the gangsters who were looking for people next to the bar, and leisurely drank by himself.

Around midnight, Ji found his goal.

A man in a luxurious classical suit walked into the tavern.

Coincidentally, Ji Xun also knew this guy who had met twice in Rose Manor before.

A down-and-out manor owner, Baron Cotton.

Two days later.

The affluent neighborhood of the Eighth Block.

In a luxury apartment.

Ji Xun stuffed the unconscious Baron Cotton into the closet, and while closing the door, he said with a smile: "Sorry, Your Excellency Baron, have a good night's rest." ”

As soon as the words fell, the muscles on Ji Xun's face began to change, and in a blink of an eye, he became a slightly chubby middle-aged man with a mustache.

He had met this guy twice before, and when he was touting each other, he had written down almost all the deeds of this big planter from Shining Star City, the fifth-generation baron of the Bolton family.

In the past two days, I followed the stalk and observed my living habits.

For example, he likes to stare at young girls with lustful eyes, and always likes to hold a handkerchief between his orchid fingers

Now there is no flaw at all.

Ji Xun looked at himself in the dressing mirror and tried his accent: "Oh, I'm Cotton, from Bright Star City. You may have heard the story of the 'King of Sugar Cane', who was my grandfather, and once fifty percent of the sugar in the southern part of the Union passed through my grandfather's hands."

The mustache in the mirror danced like the Baron Cotton he remembered.

Even the micro-expressions of muscle twitching are not flawed.

After saying that, grinning.

Ji Xun felt that he seemed to like this kind of role-playing game more and more.

Changing into a new-looking dress, and taking the invitation, he put on his hat and walked out the door.

Downstairs, there is a Lionheart's car to take you to the banquet hall.

This charity auction was the same as last time, at the Lionheart's home base.

The Lion City has been a daily change lately.

Recently, there have been more nobles who have come to make a fortune and dig gold.

Ji Xun arrived half an hour early, but there were already a lot of lords and ladies in gorgeous dresses here.

But there are only a few people in the upper class circles, especially the remote penal colony of Innocence City.

I've seen seven-seven-eighty-eight in Rose Manor before.

As soon as Ji Xun got out of the car, he immediately found out that the security standards tonight were very high.

The werewolf's instincts made him aware of the prying eyes of some high-level card masters.

However, the Baron Cotton he plays is not stage frightened, and he has long been accustomed to the set of communication skills of high society.

When you meet someone you know in your impression, you can go up and say hello to a rainbow fart.

Anyway, all kinds of commercial touting, even if it is blown wrong, because of the gentlemanly demeanor, those old men will laugh and correct their mistakes, and they can integrate into the circle faster.

When he meets someone who knows Cotton but Ji Xun doesn't know himself, he can also skillfully resolve that embarrassment through performance.

In this way, Ji Xun integrated into tonight's banquet circle in a short period of time.

He also noticed, after talking to "acquaintances", several wisps of scrutiny of his eyes quietly withdrew.

The banquet hall was full of singing and dancing, and Ji Xun was also looking for Chu Jiu and those who might be the protagonists of tonight in the crowd.

And not long after Ji Xun got out of the car, an inconspicuous car also stopped in front of the Lionheart Building.

A girl in a black princess dress said softly, "I'm going up." ”

An old man in the carriage whose face was shrouded in shadows and whose appearance was not clear nodded: "Hmm." Little Carter, be careful, it's going to be lively tonight. ”

There is a hint of pampering in the words, but there is a domineering attitude of the superior.

The girl smiled obediently: "Yes." Got it grandpa. ”

This girl is none other than Caterina, who has disappeared for a long time.

But at the moment, she is not the original appearance of blonde hair and blue eyes, but has changed into a mediocre brown-haired girl.

The moment she got out of the car, she looked at the family building, and the brilliance in her crystal eyes flashed and disappeared.

But he instantly relented, and walked on the red carpet with the support of the housekeeper with a smile.

"Ah, Mr. Temple, I heard that your Red Deer Chamber of Commerce has recently received a lot of good goods in Xia Mu City and made a fortune."

"Sir Moria, long time no see. I heard that your family hunter group has recently wanted to explore the ruins."

“.”

In the banquet hall, dance music is melodious.

Ji Xun mingled in the crowd and was not conspicuous at all.

As time went on, the number of people in the ballroom grew.

Ji Xun also saw some key figures.

After all, it's the home of the Lionhearts.

There are many descendants of the Lionheart family, such as Kak Dashao of the Long House and Seventh Miss Saviara; There is also Katerina's eldest brother Herman and third brother Mandel

These heirs of the great nobles are surrounded by high-ranking nobles, and Ji Xun also saw Bai Wei, an old acquaintance beside Kak.

There were also a few people with the Bai family's exclusive aristocratic coat of arms on the buttons of their clothes, and he also paid more attention to them.

When it comes to a real fight, these guys are all enemies.

Pricked up his ears and listened, these guys only talked about the development of ruins, and there was no useful information.

The so-called charity auction house is just a gimmick for high society communication.

Let's meet up and exchange resource information.

By the way, sell something and symbolically donate some money to the people at the bottom.

Everyone was happy.

Ji Xun looked at the items on the auction list, they were all good things from the ruins, and the quality was good, but there was no demand for him.

He was originally here to see the excitement, and he didn't plan to buy anything.

But I didn't see the figure of the ninth day of the first month.

I don't know if she got in or not, or if she didn't choose to do it today.

After glancing around, Ji Xun didn't see that it might be the target of the Chu Jiu Society's assassination.

He guessed that the target that Chu Jiu wanted to kill the most, the Lionheart family was Katarina's father, and the head of the second house, "Golden Lion" Carlo, was definitely one of them.

It was when he thought of this question that Ji Xun suddenly muttered in his heart: "I don't know how Caterina is now."

I haven't heard from me since I was saved by Nan Jing's mother last time.

Now seeing that Kak Dashao and these people are present, I think Katerina should not appear.

However, it is also a coincidence.

It was when Ji Xun thought of the "Silver Mist Rose" in his mind, when he glanced at it, he saw a noble girl in a black dress who happened to see him.

The two looked at each other.

Ji Xun looked at the girl in the black dress as if she hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards him?

Caterina did not recognize Ji Xun disguised as "Baron Cotton".

However, after entering the venue, the [Destiny Gold Coin] in her hand trembled.

After successfully condensing the hero's life, she was recognized by the demon god, and her ability was greatly improved, which also made her confirm that the trembling of the gold coin was that she had met someone very important.

Then after a search through the crowd, Caterina saw the inconspicuous mustache.

I wasn't sure who this guy was.

But for a moment of staring at each other, the gold coins between their fingers trembled violently again.

Caterina suddenly realized that this guy probably knew herself, and was very familiar with someone very important.

Baron Cotton did know her, but she had only seen her at the ball.

Since the gold coin tips.

Then this guy is definitely not a "Baron Cotton".

Disguise?

Daring to come in in such a rampant disguise, Katerina's first reaction was: "That guy is here too?" ”

Thinking of this, Caterina rolled her eyes, hid a smile, and walked over directly: "Baron Cotton, long time no see, can you invite me to dance?" ”

Ji Xun looked at the girl in the black dress in front of him, and his mind was a little confused.

He didn't know the woman.

The first reaction was Baron Cotton's old acquaintance.

The private life of the upper class was already chaotic, and it was normal for the nobles to have several lovers.

Ji Xun had no exposed flaws, and happily agreed: "Of course." ”

He gentlemanly stretched out his hand and led the girl in the black dress in front of him onto the dance floor, blending in with the dancing army.

Although Ji Xun had a smile on his face, he didn't speak.

Originally, I wanted to wait for the other party to open up and confirm her relationship with Baron Cotton, and then think about how to deal with it.

However, looking at the pair of crystal eyes in front of him, who were also looking at him, he was also puzzled: What does this woman want to confirm?

And looking at it, Ji Xun felt that looking at these eyes, there was a very familiar feeling.

Although the color of the pupils can be disguised, the light of the eyes is deep and directs to the soul.

If it's a very familiar person, that feeling can't be faked.

I think I should know her?

And from the perspective of a professional actor, that kind of staring and firm gaze is not something that ordinary aristocratic girls can have.

This woman is not quite right.

didn't wait for Ji Xun to observe anything, but the girl in the black dress smiled playfully, as if she had confirmed something, and took the initiative to say, "You haven't recognized it yet?" ”

When Ji Xun heard the obvious hint, he suddenly knew that the other party was also disguised.

Moreover, to be able to speak in this tone, he immediately realized that this woman knew herself, not Cotton.

Ji Xun instantly guessed who it was: "Miss Carter?" ”

Katerina didn't want to tease him more, and said directly: "When I heard that Atay was killed two days ago, I guessed that it was done by you." It's just that I didn't expect you to leave Lion City, but still come here. ”

“.”

The sound was transmitted in his ears, but Ji Xun laughed at himself when he heard it, and he was really recognized again.

But he didn't think Caterina had seen through his disguise.

After meeting Detective Robin's reminder last time, he paid more attention to some details of disguise, and now there are almost no flaws in his performance.

And by the way, Ji Xun also knew that Caterina had a special relic [Destiny Gold Coins] in her hand.

There's something magical about that thing.

For example, divination.

But after being recognized, Ji Xun didn't feel anything.

Once life and death have been together, the relationship is not life-like.

Ji Xun also has a good impression of this aristocratic lady now.

What's more, looking at the plain girl in the black dress in front of him, his expression also became playful.

This is the base camp of the Lionheart family, and Caterina, as the eldest lady, came in disguise herself?

It looks like they're here to make trouble.

Like a friend's meeting, Caterina casually asked, "How did you get here?" ”

Ji Xun responded truthfully: "Come and see the excitement,"

Caterina raised her eyebrows slightly as she listened, which was also in line with this guy's character.

Ji Xun also asked rhetorically: "What about you?" Miss Carter. ”

Caterina didn't hide it at all, and said bluntly: "Come and kill a few people." ”

"Oh?"

Ji Xun heard the killing intent in this calm tone, and suddenly smiled.

You don't have to ask to know who she's killing.

In the last Hero Trial, those people in the Caterina family were restless, and they were not the only ones who besieged and killed Kak.

Now that I've survived, I'm naturally back to find a field.

Everyone is here tonight, just in the same pot.

Tsk, the aristocratic circle is really chaotic.

Ji Xun felt that he might see a lot of excitement tonight.

But the moment he saw Caterina appear, he was almost sure that there was a high probability that the ninth day of the first month would appear tonight.

He even guessed that Caterina was probably trying to take advantage of tonight's chaos to kill.

This woman is not weak in scheming.

Neither of them spoke much on the subject.

Having said a little, both sides actually guessed most of it.

Caterina said something else, and then said, "I survived last time thanks to you and your friend." ”

“.”

Ji Xun listened noncommittally and smiled.

It was Nan Jing's mother who saved the two of them in the back, and he didn't dare to take the risk.

But not much to explain.

He had something else on his mind.

Ji Xun suddenly said, "By the way, do you know that Ah Tai is a member of the Silver Moon Sect?" ”

"Hmm. After you killed Atay, I heard something. I also know about the Silver Moon stronghold. ”

Caterina listened with a slightly serious expression.

She pondered for a moment before she said, "This is the shadow that the Silver Moon Sect wants to infiltrate our Lionheart Family. However, it seems that behind it should be the means of the remnants of Orlan. ”

The Lionheart family is a top nobleman, and the intelligence channel is obviously more accurate than what Ji Xun speculated.

He listened to this and pointed to the remnants of Orlan, although he had already guessed, he also cast a puzzled look: "Oh? ”

This kind of top secret is absolutely impossible for Caterina to say.

But since Ji Xun wanted to know, she responded: "That group of Orlan remnants are very ambitious. Probably trying to use faith to restore the country. ”

“.”

Ji Xun frowned slightly when he listened.

Faith pollution is definitely a disaster at the level of civilization destruction for card masters.

In order to restore the country, those guys in the Orlan Dynasty even want to use this reckless means?

A hint of confusion floated in Katerina's crystal eyes, and she explained more: "The specific situation is still unknown." After all, the remnants of Orlan have almost all the top-secret information of the Old World, and no one knows better than them the dangers of faith. But according to the current growing evidence that the Oran dynasty. It is directly related to the ancient kingdom of Talun, which fell 3,000 years ago. Even today's Oran royal family is a descendant of the Augustan royal family of the Talon Dynasty. ”

“？？？”

When Ji Xun heard this, his mood became exciting.

I thought it was the belief pollution of the Old God Sect, but I didn't expect it to involve this kind of historical secret.

In this way, things are complicated.

It's not simply a matter of faith.

If the current Oran royal family is really the Augustan royal family of 3,000 years ago, then the remnants of Oran may not only have the information of the Old World, but also the secrets of the "cataclysm" of the year, and some truly transcendent secrets?

Hiss.

Ji Xun gasped in his heart.

It was as if he had seen a slumbering and sinister male lion.

When it wakes up, the entire Federation will be devastated.

But knowing this situation, the Lionhearts family still dared to seek food with the remnants of Orlan and the tiger?

Caterina seemed to have guessed Ji Xun's thoughts, and explained: "We also know this information, and a lot of it is also speculation. And now my father's side is also difficult to ride a tiger. Changfang and the Bai family joined forces, and we also had to make some compromises. ”

“.”

Ji Xun also guessed this when he heard it.

He is not interested in political power or anything, and it doesn't matter who is in power.

But faith is polluted, and that's a big problem.

However, without thinking about it, at this time, Caterina added lightly: "But after I take power, these problems will be dealt with directly." ”

“.”

When Ji Xun heard this, he looked over, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised.

Although the tone is calm, it makes people hear the domineering that looks down on the world.

Gee

After this woman's heroic personality is condensed, it is really different.

After a dance, another song.

The two also chatted without saying a word.

However, the banquet time is approaching, and the big names are also entering one after another.

At present, the most important person in Lion City is naturally the second head of the Lion Heart family, Katarina's father, the "Golden Lion" Carlo.

The blonde hair and the domineering spirit that is not angry and arrogant also declares his identity.

Watching the host enter the venue, everyone present saluted.

However, Ji Xun's side goal was that he saw a beautiful woman with charm by Carlo's side.

To be able to enter the arena with Carlo, it must be some kind of big shot.

Ji Xun asked curiously, "Who is that?" ”

Not only him, but almost everyone present did not know this mysterious noblewoman.

However, Caterina responded, "Queen of the Oran dynasty, Catherine. ”

"What?!!!"

The moment he heard this name, Ji Xun knew who the person Chu Jiu was going to kill tonight.

Before that, Nan Jing had said the tragic experience of Chu Jiu, the illegitimate princess of the royal family.

That Queen Catherine is in the story, but she is a key villain like the "Poison Queen".

If you want to say who is the culprit who killed Chu Jiu's mother, it is this Queen of Oran!

Since this one has appeared, then Chu Jiu will definitely come to kill her.

"Hiss"

Ji Xun's eyes flashed with different colors.

Originally, he knew that Chu Jiu would definitely kill Catherine, but it was not a special surprise.

It was just an accident that she would be here.

At this moment, Ji Xun thought of something else in his mind.

Looking at the girl in the black dress in Katerina's disguise in front of him, he thought of the previous conversation.

It can't be a bounty on the black market, it's Katerina herself, right?

In order to cut off the wings of the Orlan dynasty?

It's not do-it-yourself anyway.

As soon as this idea came to mind, Ji Xun really thought it was possible.

Although the ninth day of the first month is to avenge personal revenge, the "Thirteen Kamen Riders" usually kill people by accepting bounties to cover up their own purposes.

Just like Xie Guozhong analyzed before, when Cao Sihai was killed in "The Labyrinth of the Cemetery", it was because someone offered a reward on the black market that the Thirteen Knights did it.

But in fact, this also concealed the purpose of the Thirteen Horsemen who wanted to make the situation in Innocence City unstable.

Although it is "killing people with a knife", it can be regarded as "disguised cooperation" in which all parties can achieve their respective goals.

One to memorize, one to do!

Thinking of this, Ji Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, tonight's situation is more complicated than expected.
