Returning from the abyss

Chapter 464 Two Lucky Guys

After rearranging her belongings, Lu Ning set off for Sicilian's home before dawn. She quietly left the Hot and Sour Cocktail without telling anyone.

At this time, of course, there was no one outside, and the meeting place a few streets away had disappeared. It seemed that the guards had already dealt with it, and some people would disappear and never appear again.

"Ewalang...does it only care about students?"

Lu Ning is very clear that she is not a student of Ewalang, so she will not be included in this protection list.But now it seems that after so many incidents, there is still no confusion, which shows the control of the parliament.

Nothing happened along the way, and Lu Ning easily found Sicilian's home.This is not a very big house, only one floor, located on the edge of the residential area of ​​Opal District, with a small yard.She used the key to open the door and went in. The inside was not very big, a corridor turned and connected to the back door, and the rest were simple buildings such as kitchens and bedrooms, which had not been particularly carefully arranged.

She found Sicilian's bedroom, where there was also a wooden bookshelf that seemed to be made by hand, and there were many books related to history and culture on it.Lu Ning took a backpack, emptied all the letters in the bookcase, put them into the backpack, glanced at the bookshelf, first took out the picture crystal from the back of the drawer beside the bed, then stood up and took two books from the bookshelf Book.

The sixth edition of "Magic Saint Capital", and the fourth volume of "Biography of Outstanding Contemporary Magicians".

The former one was because she wanted to know about the situation in the holy capital, while the latter one was because the fourth volume was clearly written, but there were no traces of the previous volumes on the bookshelf, which was a bit strange.Putting these two books into the backpack, Lu Ning checked the room a bit, then left and went to the bathroom.

The things in the bathroom are all ordinary magic tools. Indeed, there is only one hanging picture, which is an oil painting. On it is a full-body portrait of a little girl. Probably due to the age, the girl's appearance has become somewhat blurred. I don't know.Lu Ning lifted the picture frame slightly, knocked on the bricks behind in order, and heard a slight "click", and the bricks separated a small gap from left to right.

"This is a concealed method." Lu Ning pushed the bricks away, and found a document tied tightly with kraft paper from the back. In this way, the three things he was looking for were all there.

But just as she exited the bathroom, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening from the direction of the back door.Lu Ning got back into the bedroom in an instant, holding her breath and listening to the movement outside.

The footsteps were very light, and it would be hard to detect if it wasn't too quiet; but the sound of the door opening was not covered up, so Lu Ning judged that the other party and herself should be the same——taking the opportunity to come here to see if there were any clues, on the one hand, he knew that there was no clue here. People don't need to worry. On the other hand, they don't want to make too much noise out of the psychology of being a thief.

The other party entered the next bedroom first, and Lu Ning could hear the rustling sound against the wall. After a while, the sound disappeared, and the sound of footsteps went outside.

Then there is the bathroom, but since there is no guidance from Sicilian, of course there is nothing.

Finally, the man walked towards the room.

Lu Ning's hiding place happened to be behind the door. The unexpected visitor didn't see her when she came in. Instead, she saw the bookshelf for the first time, and immediately came to the bookshelf in two steps, and began to look at the books on it.

It wasn't until a cold finger touched his neck that he suddenly realized that there was someone here, and Lu Ning even felt his muscles twitch violently.

"Yes... I'm sorry..." He raised his hands. This subconscious action made Lu Ning instantly judge that he is not a resident of this world. In the magical world, there are too many things that can be done by raising your hands. The only way to express "surrender" and "admit defeat" is to drop a weapon—even a branch.

"Don't move!" Lu Ning shouted.

He was obviously aware of this problem, and hastily lowered his hand to untie a dagger tied around his waist and threw it on the bed: "I just found out that no one here wants to see if there is anything to steal! Please don't hurt me!"

Clever guy, at this time, give yourself a "thief" identity, and it's easy to explain.If it wasn't for the first act that exposed his identity, Lu Ning would not be able to judge whether he had ulterior motives.

"Thief? What's your name! Where did you come from!"

"My name is Eli, and I'm an apprentice. I was lucky enough to be selected by the Holy Capital to study here, but I really don't have any money. This time it was just a temporary idea." He said pitifully.

"A temporary idea? Do you usually live near here?"

"No, no, I live in the Amethyst District. I was working for a gem merchant there, but didn't something happen there a few days ago? I'm homeless. There is no other way!"

"How long have you been wandering?"

"It's not considered a homeless person. I came here to take classes, but one has to plan for the future, right? I have no income, and the money in my hand is about to bottom out..."

"Don't try to turn your head sideways when you're talking." Lu Ning continued to press her fingers down a bit coldly.

Yilael quickly apologized and smiled: "Yes, yes. Well, your voice is very young, are you the owner of this place?"

The kid is still testing her.

"So what do you think the owner will do when he comes home and sees a thief sneaking into the house?"

"Haha, so you are not."

"Of course I am not, but I have a good relationship with the owner here. I am thinking about whether I knocked you out and handed it over to him."

Eliel hurriedly begged for mercy: "No, this is my first time being a thief, otherwise I wouldn't be so rough, right? I also want to work seriously, if not..."

Having said that, he suddenly lowered his head, avoiding the direction of Lu Ning's fingers, and reached out to touch his waist, but Lu Ning was faster than him, and a transformation formation was already attached to his waist.

Yilael's expression froze for a moment, he had already turned around because of the action just now, and naturally saw Lu Ning's appearance, and he was sure that she was not the owner of this place at all.

He was indeed a tourist, and he came to Ewalang as an enchanting apprentice named Eliel, and his experience was quite similar to that of Lu Ning.He got the opportunity to work under a gem merchant in the Amethyst District, and he can usually get in touch with many people.Among these guests, several well-known businessmen took a fancy to his talent for enchanting and contacted him to set up a training plan. He took the opportunity to attend two gatherings and met some young talents. Enter the underground market in the Amethyst District.

As a result, he also came into contact with the first case of book theft, and even helped arrest a suspect.From a general point of view, his experience is very similar to that of Lu Ning. He is the "lucky guy" who has the most clues arranged by the distribution center and whose status is relatively erratic.

As for this time, after synthesizing a lot of clues, he learned that the identity of Sicilian seems to have many secrets, so he came to investigate after stepping on the spot.He was also aware of the shock and the dispatch of guards in the Opal area before, but he couldn't let go of the opportunity to get it for nothing. When everything quieted down again, he chose to come here before dawn to have a look, so he met Lu Ning.

At this time, the sky had already turned white, and the room was not so dark anymore. Of course, Elaine could see the badge on Lu Ning's chest, and knew that she was an apprentice just like himself.The problem is that the thing attached to his waist is not guaranteed to only have the destructive power of an apprentice.

"Will that... make me stand up straight? It's hard to twist." Eliel tried to smile again.

"Two knives." Lu Ning used the piece of parchment to pull out another dagger from his waist. Unlike the previous one, this dagger was very narrow, with an obvious curved arc, which glowed in the morning light. There is a faint purple reflection, and there are two inscriptions engraved on the handle.

"Actually, you came here to see what you could find, right? We are the same, since you did it first, I don't ask, there's no need to hurt your friendship, right..."

"I have the key." Lu Ning pinned the dagger on her waist completely bluntly, while Yilael's face showed a trace of distress visible to the naked eye.

"The owner here gave me the key, which means he trusts me. As for you...it's wrong to abuse the lynching, but there's nothing wrong with me handing you over to the guards."

"Don't, you have something to say, that...why did you let me go?"

"Look at this dagger. You probably aren't as short of money as you said. Don't make any excuses like relics from ancestors. People can do anything to survive, I know very well." Lu Ning said.

"Yeah, so I also dare to bet that you dare not detonate this thing. You are an apprentice. If this is a magic item that kills people, it will also hurt you." Eliel glanced at the parchment. Don't force me, although I really don't have any background, if I'm really in a hurry, I can still do something."

"Ok?"

Eliel shrank his body abruptly, sprayed a green liquid from his chest, and accurately splashed it onto the parchment, a burst of corrosive smell emanated from the paper, and the transformation array was destroyed immediately .

"This thing is just to burn you! I don't intend to harm anyone, but I can't stay here... Huh?" Yi Lai was about to take advantage of Lu Ning's pain and had no time to defend herself, but she found liquid gushing from her hand There was a green mist, and it didn't hurt her at all. Lu Ning just shook her hand and pulled out the dagger.

"You really prepared a lot of surprises for me." Lu Ning swung her dagger, and made a sound of wind in the air.

"Why are you alright?" The corner of Yilael's mouth twitched. Because the liquid is not lethal enough, most of its functions are used for pain and disability. Unless it is a veteran on the battlefield, no one can bear it, but who knows why? kick in?

"Now you should think about how to beg me for mercy." Lu Ning approached him holding a dagger.

Eliel rolled his eyes and grinned: "No, I should run away now!"

He stretched out his hand and squeezed it on his finger, and thick smoke immediately emitted from his body. Lu Ning heard the sound of the window, but she still stopped in her tracks and did not chase after him.

She had the impression of the name Yilael, one of the few people named by the Halo Sect that Saber said, if he was a tourist, wouldn't the rest of the tourists be more suspicious?

When the sun was just rising, Garcia jumped up from the tatami and looked out through the open door.

In the courtyard, a thing that seems to be a magic table has been built. Although Shu Xingruo himself came from the source of this thing, because of his identity this time, he doesn't know this system of magic at all.

There are two people in the yard, one is of course the master here, Pengshan Yuanzi, and the other is a Taoist wearing a Taoist robe and a high hair crown.

The Taoist's name was introduced by Pengshan Yuanzi last night. His name is Yiqing. Simply put, he is a "companion".She said that it was because of her own lack of knowledge and spells, she specially invited someone to help, and if Garcia didn't want to see it, she didn't have to.

Garcia doesn't care, and this action also requires the participation of the necromancy she is good at, and they always have to meet.After getting a little familiar with her, she realized that Taoist Yiqing should really be a cultivator. From the perspective of her professional actor, her words and deeds were mostly natural.

"How's the situation? Shall I start?" Garcia yawned and asked the two.

"The Dharma platform has been built, but it is still inconvenient to choose the carrier." Yiqing saluted slightly, "If it is to be effective, it also needs the assistance of powerful magic props."

"Beyond ability." Pengshan Yuanzi said, "No one among us has a channel, nor a path to obtain that kind of powerful magic item, and my goal is not the entire Ewa Gallery."

"Then using a sub-level item, I'm afraid the effect will be greatly reduced."

"It's not part of our job, we just do it." Pengshan Yuanzi didn't care about such things, "The moon is not always full, the trees are not evergreen, the mountains and rocks are solid but melt into the stars, and the rivers are soft." And disappear in the deep sea. There is no need to pursue the ultimate in everything, what does the Taoist think?"

"good."

Garcia walked into the yard and came to the high platform step by step.

The Fatai is about three meters high, and thanks to the deep and secluded courtyard of the Pengshan family, it can accommodate it without being noticed.Now the stage has been painted with various talismans and incantations to form a large formation. The center of the formation is a flat bluestone, and engraved on the bluestone are lines of words that according to Yiqing are prayers.On the four corners of the altar where no formations have been drawn, there is a table, a large flag, a sand table and a sword.

"Garcia, first try to see if it is feasible. After all, we are an imitation made by using various spells. Before the official launch, we must continue to debug." Pengshan Yuanzi said in the audience.

"Well, anyway, this night has passed, and there are a lot more undead in the city." Garcia closed his eyes and sensed the breath of undead around him. I'm afraid that there was another serious accident in Ewalang last night. After waking up, the smell of death can be smelled from far away.

"You two should rest for a while, anyway, the next step is my task."

"Then Pindao will leave first." Yiqing bowed to the two of them, then turned and walked to the guest room specially arranged for him.

"Yuanzi, did Xueyin respond to you?"

"She has withdrawn part of the surveillance. But after all, she still refuses to come over. Although her attitude is usually gentle, she should still be a little bit reluctant to let go."

"So...do you know? Where is Lu Ning?"

"I don't know her, she is your friend. Of course, if I insist on pointing out someone, I can find it through careful reasoning." Pengshan Yuanzi walked to the wooden porch outside the room and sat down, " But it doesn't need to be."

"Don't do things you don't need, right?" Garcia laughed.

"No, I still accompany you to do this thing that I don't need to do, so it's just that I personally prefer the mean."
