——Ding Dong!
The brass wind chime hanging on the upper right side of the door made a soft sound!
And the figure of Hu Qi walked towards the distance after pushing open the door.
Not long after, his back was quickly swallowed up by the bustling street and disappeared at the end of the street in the distance.
Inside the restaurant.
After Hu Qi's figure completely disappeared, a strange color flashed in Lilia's eyes.
He stood up from his seat, straightened his skirt, and was about to leave.
However.
When she walked to the door of the restaurant, a male clerk in uniform suddenly blocked her way.
"This lady."
The male clerk rubbed his hands in embarrassment and looked to one side.
Lilia frowned.
She looked in the direction indicated by the clerk.
I saw it was the dining table against the wall where the two of them were sitting just now.
At this moment, there was only half a glass of unfinished red wine left on the table, glowing dark red under the light.
at the same time.
came the clerk's voice.
"The gentleman at the corner table at your table just now hasn't paid the bill yet."
Silence spread between the two.
In the end, Lilia took out the money with an expressionless face.
When Lilia finally stepped out of the restaurant door.
There was a hazy drizzle in the sky.
Vendors on the street also skillfully put up awnings.
This kind of weather is perfectly normal here Cold Rain City.
She has long been used to this.
She walked quickly through the maze of alleys.
The sound of shoe soles hitting the stone pavement was particularly clear in the rain.
After turning the seventh corner, she stopped in front of a yard covered with trees and vines.
After pushing the door open.
The silent figure in the courtyard slowly turned around.
This is a man with the same blond hair. If you look closely, you will find that his face is 45% similar to Lilia.
only.
The eyes are different from Lilia.
It's black and white.
What's strange is that.
The man's black eye holes are larger than the whites of his eyes.
At first glance, it makes people feel a little weird.
"How's it going?"
the man asked.
"The transaction went smoothly."
Lilia took out the roll of parchment from his pocket and threw it into the arms of the blond man.
The man took it, opened it, and glanced around it.
There seemed to be a trace of blue light flashing in the pupils of his eyes.
He is in the Arcanist career path.
It is the main branch of God of Wisdom. Alcaron, one of the Seven Great True Gods pathways.
Possess the ability to create spells and identify paths.
Obtaining new spells by studying ancient books, ruins or defeating enemies has great potential for growth.
For those who follow the arcanist path, knowledge is power.
Arcanists have a wide range of powers and are adaptable to any combat scenario. They are especially good at protracted battles and team support.
However, it also has certain shortcomings.
That is the path of professionals whose physical strength is lower than that of ordinary people and relies too much on protective spells.
"Yes, this is a Mermaid Path road. There are no problems from Sequence Nine Half-demon to Sequence Six Deep Sea Priest."
After a while, the blue light in his eyes subsided.
In this regard, Lilia was noncommittal.
Looking at the man, she asked about another thing.
"How's the investigation going on that guy I asked you to investigate?"
"It has been found out that the guy who calls himself 'Rhode' is not a professional in Cold Rain City. He should be from other places, most likely Night Raven Port. Previously, I heard that there is a 'Mermaid King's Treasure' over there at Night Raven Port, which contains this direct path to Sequence Five."
The man said.
At this point, he paused before continuing.
"Of course, this is just my personal guess. After all, what happened to Night Raven Port recently, even two powerful existences of Sequence Five fell.
It stands to reason that with this person's strength, it is impossible to get anything from it.
However.
In case, this person is really from Night Raven Port, then he is very likely to have advanced information about Mermaid Path Sequence Five! "
Speaking of which.
There was a hint of excitement in his tone unconsciously.
Sequence Five.
As a lord level.
The power it possesses is self-evident.
With this kind of strength, he is definitely at the top even within the church or Federation.
If he can get it and analyze it, he will definitely gain a lot.
It is even very possible for him to advance directly and become the elemental user of Sequence Seven.
However, I don't know what came to mind.
He took a deep breath.
Look at Lilia.
"Sister, do you want to attack that person?
From the way this person behaves, he is probably a Sequence Seven. With the two of us, is it a bit dangerous? "
Hear the words.
Lilia chuckled.
"While being cautious is not a bad thing, being overly cautious can lead to missed opportunities.
And we don't need to confront them head-on unless necessary.
Just secretly explore whether the other party is related to that thing..."
Hear the words.
There was something strange in the eyes of the blond man on the spot.
"You mean the dragon?"
"Not bad!"
Lilia nodded.
"Although Sub-dragon Blood is rare, it is usually used to perform advanced rituals for low-level professionals or to mix magic potions.
It is not of great use to the professionals of Sequence Seven, and it is not enough for the other party to use a direct professional route to Sequence Six to redeem it, unless there is a greater interest involved, such as using some special rituals and means to find traces of the dragon! "
Things like giant dragons are extremely valuable.
It's hard to imagine that the two are completely different.
Even if it is an ordinary Sequence Five, a lord-level professional will be moved.
Once they find traces of a giant dragon, even if they can't hunt it, they can resell the news and make a lot of money.
Although the career path of a mermaid is precious to the two of them, it is far less valuable than a giant dragon.
"I left a mark on that and could follow the man.
Even if it fails, there will be no loss for us. We can also make a fortune by selling the information on the other party that may contain the Sequence Five extraordinary path..."
Lilia said lightly.
As for being discovered, she actually wasn't worried.
Because she is also a Sequence Seven existence.
And it is also an extraordinary way to strengthen the physical body in combat.
When it comes to fighting, you have enough confidence that you are not afraid of the opponent at all.
Plus, she has the help of her younger brother.
The other person is just alone.
What kind of waves can be made?
"That's right..."
The blond man nodded.
However, the words came to an abrupt halt mid-sentence.
Then it was replaced by the dull sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh.
Lilia looked up.
His expression changed.
I saw.
In the quiet courtyard with drizzle like smoke.
I don't know when a black shadow has quietly stood under the eaves on one side, blending into the shadow.
The whole person is like the incarnation of shadow, with no facial features at all.
At this moment, he suddenly came behind the blond man.
The long sword pierced the man's head directly from the back and emerged from between the eyebrows.
only.
The weird thing is.
There was no trace of blood gushing out from the wound.
Moreover, the young and strong body of the blond man shriveled up and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a skinny mummy in the blink of an eye.
It was as if all the flesh and blood in his body had been swallowed up by some strange force.
"Kaibu!"
Lilia looked shocked and angry.
While I was angry, I also felt a little scared.
The other party can lurk next to them without the two of them noticing. The person coming is at least a Sequence Seven professional, maybe even higher!
Think about this.
The hairs on the back of her neck stood up.
The shadow of death crawled up his spine like gangrene, and the instinct to survive instantly overwhelmed all rational thinking.
--roar!
Accompanied by a low wolf howl, her face was distorted and her red lips stretched to both sides like tears, revealing ferocious fangs.
The slim body suddenly expanded.
The dress on her body was torn apart by the bulging muscles, and her snow-white skin was quickly covered with thick silver hair.
In the blink of an eye, a giant wolf with a height of two meters appeared on the spot, its silver-white eyes igniting an icy and fierce light in the rain.
At this moment, she looked at the murderer of her own brother.
The anger in his eyes burst out almost instantly.
"Go to hell!"
Lilia's own career path is orcs.
This career path is very special. In the case of transformation, the increase in physical body is extremely terrifying, but at the same time, it also has a serious flaw.
That is, after transformation, one's own reason will be affected by animal nature.
This is why she didn't run away in the first place.
puff!
However, before she could take any action, she felt a pain in her abdomen.
Her face was stiff.
He looked down in disbelief.
Suddenly, a trace of blood emerged from her steel-like fur, breaking her body directly at the waist.
It's like her defense is like tofu.
At this moment, a large amount of blood spurted out from the wound.
But the blood didn't fall to the ground.
All were absorbed by the opponent's sword.
"How is that possible?"
Severe pain pounded her brain.
The whole person also lost his center of gravity at this moment, lying on his back and falling to the ground.
Subsequently.
Then I felt a breath of death coming.
Look up.
A ray of sword light struck directly on her forehead, nailing her to the ground.
"Uh..."
Lilia's eyes are bulging.
His eyes were fixed on the dark shadow in front of him.
She wanted to see the man's appearance clearly, but unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she could only see a blurry shadow and couldn't see clearly at all.
Then, her consciousness dissipated.
soon.
Only two desiccated bodies were left lying on the ground.
To this.
The figure just glanced at it lightly, picked up the roll of parchment with Mermaid Path written on it from the ground, and threw it on Lilia.
Then two wisps of flames shot out from the mummy.
The strange thing is that this flame is not affected by the rain at all, but burns more vigorously in the rain curtain.
In just a few breaths, the two corpses and the parchment turned into fine ashes, picked up by the howling cold wind and dissipated without a trace.
After doing all this, the black shadow did not stop.
His figure dissolved like ink, blending silently into the shadows in the corner, leaving no trace.
Not long after.
Several figures wearing masks suddenly appeared here.
It was the law enforcer who came after hearing the noise.
I searched the area, but unfortunately I didn't find anything, not even a trace of blood.
I just noticed a trace of spiritual fluctuations in the air, confirming that there were professionals fighting here before.
for this situation.
These law enforcers did not stay too long, turned around and left.
They professionals only maintain order.
As long as these professionals did not kill ordinary people on a large scale, they would naturally not bother to investigate.
It didn't take long.
In a dark alley three streets away from here.
A black shadow appeared silently.
The shadows covering his body faded away like a tide, gradually revealing the clear outline of his facial features.
At this time, a young man with red hair and red eyes was carrying a long sword and looked calm.
This person is Hu Qi.
He had already noticed the tracking mark left by the other party on that item.
On normal days, he wouldn't even pay attention to such little tricks, and he might still play with these two people.
But in this ten-star novel world, before his strength has fully recovered, he has to be extra cautious.
Any possible hidden dangers must be nipped in the bud.
If the other party leaks the news and attracts the attention of those who covet it, or even Federation official or Seven Gods Church, it will cause endless trouble for him.
Since the other party has evil intentions, there is no need to keep him.
Dealing with those two people was just a trivial episode for Hu Qi.
He took out the bottle of Sub-dragon Blood he got from Lilia.
Use your fingers slightly.
Click!
The next second.
This glass bottle, which was made of special materials to isolate Sub-dragon Blood's spiritual energy and was as hard as diamond, shattered suddenly.
only.
The blood was not spilled.
Instead, it gathered into a ball of blood in his palm.
Finally it solidifies like glass beads.
And Hu Qi holds this bead.
With a hint of spirituality belonging to Blood Swordsman injected into it.
Suddenly, a mysterious feeling appeared in Hu Qi's heart.
It was as if there was an invisible thread extending from the blood cell to an unknown place.
Seeing this, Hu Qi's eyes flashed.
"Sure enough, the dragon is still alive!"
This is exactly why Hu Qi wants to obtain Sub-dragon Blood.
The dragon is hard to find.
However, Blood Swordsman has the ability to trace the source of blood, so there is no need to worry at all.
As long as blood is used as a medium, the source of the dragon can be found.
This is also thanks to the characteristics of Dragons are inherently lustful, so although Sub-Dragon Creatures is hunted by professionals, there are still many.
Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to find it.
Think about this.
His figure moved.
Speeding away following the perceived direction.
Not long after, the towering city walls of Cold Rain City were far behind.
The bumpy road in the rain felt like smooth ground under his feet, which had no impact on him at all.
People passing by can only feel the breeze blowing, and Hu Qi cannot be seen with the naked eye.
How long does it take every time.
The galloping Hu Qi stopped.
Appears on a tree branch.
Look up.
Not far away is a village shrouded in mist.
A few wisps of smoke curled up from the stone chimney.
The peasant woman wrapped in a coarse cloth cloak was walking towards the cowshed carrying a wooden bucket, and the clanging sound of the blacksmith's shop could be heard in the distance.
"Interesting."
Hu Qi narrowed his eyes and rubbed the blood drops in his hand with his fingertips.
He originally thought that the giant dragon would be hiding in an underground maze or a cave somewhere.
But he didn't expect to be dormant in a village.
Just then.
His eyes seemed to be attracted by something.
A flash of surprise flashed across his face.
"Huh? This is..."
