The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 806 The Crimson Sword

Thanks to Lin Tianci's timely rescue, both Hubert and Leoni were fine, especially Leoni, who was able to open his eyes with the help of the Suzaku Rebirth Talisman.

When she saw Lin Tianci crouching on the side busying, she didn't turn her mind for a while:

"Mr. Lin? Why do you..."

Then she remembered that Hubert had asked Lin Tianci to come to his house tonight as a guest, and it probably happened by chance.

She struggled to stand up, Lin Tianci quickly pressed down:
"Don't move around, your wound hasn't fully healed yet."

But this movement also made Leoni see Hubert who was covered in blood beside her, and now she was anxious:

"How is my father?"

"It's okay, I gave him emergency treatment, but because of the heavy bleeding, he may be weak for a few days, and he will be fine if he pays attention to self-cultivation."

Hearing what Lin Tianci said, Leoni finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she always said that she looked down on Hubert's weakness, she was her own father after all.

"Miss Leonie, what's going on with you, I saw the two of you lying on the ground as soon as I came here, and one of you jumped out from the back window."

"It's the Shuangjiu Gang, one of the gangsters in the city. I heard him say he wants some sapphire from my father."

Sure enough, it was the fragments of the extremely blue glowing star that caused the trouble.

This matter is also related to Lin Tianci's poor consideration. They are looking for fragments, and the group of people who obviously want to undo the seal of the Lava Demon God are also looking for them. They should give a few more instructions when they are separated from Hubert.

Fortunately, people are fine, Lin Tianci felt that it was necessary to explain the cause and effect to Leoni clearly.

"To tell you the truth, Miss, I am a traveler from the plane of Sudong Shenzhou."

Again, plane travelers are rare but not uncommon, especially from Dosu to Chika, the cost and difficulty of plane travel are very low.

Besides, as long as you look at Lin Tianci's appearance, you can tell that he is definitely not a local.

"The sapphire that the person who attacked your father and daughter was looking for is called the Extreme Blue Brilliance Star. It is a treasure of our Eastern Shenzhou. I came to Water City to recover it, but I didn't expect that it would involve a lot of things."

Starting with this sentence, Lin Tianci talked about what happened in the last two days, plus the conclusion he came to from his visit to the volcano not long ago.

"What you said...is it all true? Someone really tried to resurrect, Demon God? And it's in the crater not far from the water?"

"It's unblocking, not resurrection. If Miss Leonie doesn't believe it, she can take someone to the crater to investigate, but I don't think there is so much time to confirm it now."

Since the other party dared to rush to the door to snatch the fragments of the extremely blue star, it was probably to use the fragments in Hubert's hand as insurance, which further showed that they had decided to start evacuating the water capital.

As for why the evacuation?
Of course, the Lava Demon God is coming soon.

"Miss Leonie, you have a public position, can you inform the higher-ups of Water City to help?"

"It's not that I don't believe Mr. Lin, but the higher-ups are busy with the loss of the Thousand-Edge Knife. Even if I report it, no one will believe it or see it."

After all, finding someone still depends on Geralt's gang and the White Hands Association.

But compared to the black eyes at the beginning, at least now he has a goal and a definite answer.

"Although it's just a guess, I guess the loss of the Thousand-Blade Knife should be related to this group of people trying to unseal the Lava Demon God. Can you use this reason to mobilize some people?"

"You mean the Shuangjiu gang? As far as I know, they are just a small gang that is not popular. Do they have this ability?"

"About the issue of the Shuangjiu Gang, can I also participate in the topic?"

Just as he was talking, he saw Gerald coming in through the door that was damaged by Lin Tianci. He first bowed slightly to greet them, and then said:

"My people found out that the people who traded fragments with the Shadow Cult are the Shuangjiu Gang, and the Shadow Cult is most likely the one who stole the Thousand Blades Knife."

As he spoke, he looked at Leoni who was on guard:

"Miss officer, please don't be so hostile to us. Not long ago, the government sent people to put pressure on us. This is not just your problem."

"Will you be so kind?"

"Indeed, we have nothing to do with Xinshan."

Geralt waved his hand:
"Justice and axioms have nothing to do with me, but my gang and I need to rely on the city of water for food. If someone wants to smash the jobs of my brothers and me, I will lead someone to smash his head."

This action touched the coat, and Lin Tianci realized that his legs were covered with the same lacerations as Leoni and the others.

"When I came here, I met a young man from the Shuangjiu Gang, and it took a little trouble."

Leonie asked:

"Did you catch him?"

"No, and there is no need. Gangsters have their own rules, and we generally rarely arrest people."

The rules of the so-called gangsters he mentioned are obviously not just to say hello and let people go.

As he spoke, Geralt reached out and took out a piece of sapphire from his pocket and threw it to Lin Tianci. It was a fragment of the extremely blue brilliant star, and it looked like the one in Hubert's hand.

"Mr. Lin, you came here just for it. I think our cooperation agreement should still be valid. My people are searching for members of the Shuangjiu Gang, and I also need your assistance."

This assistance does not require Lin Tianci's combat power, but the intelligence of the White Hands Association.

Brother Lin accepted the fragments, and then poured mana into the brooch to contact Saili. With the faintly lit magic aura, Saili glanced at the scene and said:

"Is this place just demolished?"

Fortunately, she just said it casually and didn't delve into it. She continued:
"I just analyzed the information sent by the local branch, checked more than a dozen organizations related to the Yellilde Empire, and locked down a small group called the Shuangjiu Gang... Well, judging by your expressions, it seems that Got it, but you probably don't know what the Lava Demon God is."

It's rare for Sally to be slow in terms of information, but this time she was slow because she took the time to check the information of the Lava Demon God.

Because of the time when the lava demon appeared, the blue goblin appeared not long ago. At that time, there was no White Hands Association, and even the ancient elves were still in the state of wild monkeys.

All the information about the Lava Demon God is based on legends and broken mural records.

In the end, Saili came to the conclusion that unless she was willing to directly open the portal and go there, otherwise, when the lava demon broke the seal and ran out, little brother Lin who stayed in the water capital would be in danger. The city is already within range of the Lava Demon God.

Geralt said with some doubts:
"Lava Demon God?"

He almost forgot that he didn't know what happened in the crater, so Brother Lin had to tell the story again.

"So it turns out that the crimson sword Grandma Julie mentioned should be referring to him, no wonder it was a disaster..."

The entire prophecy has been almost straightened out from the beginning to the end. In fact, the conspiracy of the Shuangjiu Gang and the Yellilde Empire is very covert, but this is an unscientific world, so it will be discovered by the prophecy ability. Even if it is destroyed, it can only be summarized as bad luck.

"Then it's even more important to catch the members of the Shuangjiu Gang as soon as possible. As long as you catch them, you can avoid the Lava Demon God."

At this point, the younger brother who always followed Gerald walked in quickly:
"Boss, I've packed up all the corpses, but the bad news came from the brothers just now. The old nest of the Shuangjiu gang has been emptied, and no one can find where they went."

He was saying that as long as he caught someone, it would be over, but they ran fast.

"It is estimated that it is the last moment, so they are ready to evacuate. I will ask the White Hands Association to lock their location as soon as possible."

With Sai Li's words, it will be much easier to arrest people.

Lin Tianci thought for a while and said:
"Isn't the whole city now under martial law, only entering but not exiting? So the only way they want to escape is..."

"The waterway should be near the pier."

The city of water is a city built on the lake, and the only land entrance and exit is the Rainbow Bridge, and this bridge must be blocked so that no flies can fly out.

The Shuangjiu gang wanted to escape, the only way was to take the water and force their way out by boat in the dark.

Geralt looked at Leonie:
"Miss Officer, the city guards don't know if they can provide some help."

"Even if I believe what you said, it will be difficult to convince my superiors. Your actions against the Shuangjiu Gang may be judged as a gang fight within the gang."

So it's out of play?
"However, the order I received was to block the water near the pier, and I don't plan to give up the order. I can guarantee that no ship will leave the water capital."

For Leonie, cooperating with gangsters is somewhat unacceptable, but the situation is such that it can't just be based on preference.

Her words were considered a compromise, but she didn't want to admit it.

Geralt could see it naturally, nodded and said:

"enough."

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

As time passed, the night became darker.

The mine veins below the water capital produce many magic-related minerals and gems. Things like magic crystals, which are rare in other places, are really not a luxury in the water capital.

That's why they have the ability to install magic-driven street lights in the city. At night, they will automatically light up one after another, adding prosperity to this pearl on the water.

Similarly, unlike other cities where there are no people on the street at night, the city of water is a city that never sleeps. With the development of commerce and tourism, the city of water has never been truly quiet.

Among them, the most important means of transportation for foreign trade in the city of water is water transportation.

The port and warehouse, which is about one-eighth of the area of ​​the entire city, handle a large amount of goods every day, and there is an endless stream of merchant ships.

However, due to the loss of the Thousand-Edge Knife, all merchant ships were not allowed to leave the port, waiting for the investigators to investigate one by one, which also made the port full of complaining sailors and captains.

But just as they were drinking heavily and complaining, a flash of fire came from not far away, accompanied by the sound of killing.

This startled the sailors, but when they looked at the city guards patrolling nearby and saw that they didn't see it at all, they naturally understood.

I'm afraid there is something going on between the gangsters.
