After her identity was exposed, she began to chase her husband to the crematorium

However, when the two of them came downstairs, Silla hurriedly appeared in sight.

And as soon as she saw Jing Chen, she immediately seemed to have found reinforcements and said anxiously: "Jing Chen, fortunately you are here, that... Something happened to Ai Xi."

Jingchen's brows immediately wrinkled, and before he asked, Silla immediately handed him a letter.

There are a few words written on it - application letter for withdrawal from school.

Ash filed an application to withdraw from the college.

215. Crisis lurks everywhere

Later, Sila said that she and Ai Xi had always been in the same dormitory. The dormitories for gifted students were all for two people. Sila and Ai Xi had been roommates since they entered school, but their daily actions were different. I didn't see the two of them together much.

But as a roommate, Silla still knew Ai Xi's handwriting clearly, and this letter was received in the college mailbox early this morning. After seeing it, Silla thought of coming to Jingchen, and as expected, she was there I met him in the office building.

"Something must have happened when she went back this time. She rarely asks for leave. Even if she asked for leave before, she would go out to participate in the mission of conquering World of Warcraft. She rarely goes home. Last time she hurriedly wrote a The leave application note came back, and although I didn't have time to ask at that time, I guessed that something must have happened at her home, which made her rush back in a hurry." Silla said with a worried look.

Jingchen nodded, opened the withdrawal letter and looked at the contents.

I saw this written inside -

Dear leaders of the School of Magic, since my family has other arrangements for my studies, I am applying to withdraw from school from now on. And because I am currently in a different place, it is difficult for me to return to the School of Magic to apply in person. I ask the school to complete the withdrawal process on its own.

The name Ashe Tarta is written at the signature.

Jing Chen could tell at a glance that this kind of handwriting must have been ghostwritten by a tall and thick man. He probably had never seen Ai Xi's handwriting before writing it. Moreover, the reason for the withdrawal application was not clear at all, and it seemed a bit forceful.

Even if the college receives a letter of withdrawal, I'm afraid it will never go through this process. Instead, it will investigate Ai Xi's situation, but I don't know who will be sent to investigate.

Jingchen looked at it a few more times and quickly took back the letter with a firm attitude.

"I'll leave for Talos Town in a moment. Will you go too, Alice?"

Jingchen glanced at Alice beside him.

Alice shook her head unexpectedly and said, "I'm lazy, so I won't go now. You can go alone this time."

"Ah this."

"Where's Silla?" Jingchen asked another girl.

But Sila also looked embarrassed, saying that she had to attend an expert lecture in the afternoon, and the medical department had exams and other exams in the past few days, so she didn't have time to go.

In the end, this matter seemed to be Jingchen's alone.

He scratched his head, but since the situation was urgent, he didn't say much.

As for Ke'er... forget it, who knows what will happen this time, he'd better go by himself.

If you go alone, you don't have to take care of other people, not to mention that you are going to Ai Xi this time.

Jing Chen had a hunch that this time he would be able to add a regular visitor to the Beyond the Cloud Realm.

So at about [-] o'clock at noon that day, Jingchen took off slightly on the hillside of the back mountain. The power of the wind element instantly blessed his body. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed out of the magic academy, and even rushed out directly. Magic City's magic detection network.

This detection equipment is very advanced, but if you are really fast, the equipment will not be able to detect it in time.

The people guarding the testing equipment were also stunned. The equipment suddenly turned on a red light and beeped. They were so sleepy that they jumped up from their chairs, but the equipment suddenly recovered. It was calm, and a group of people were scratching their heads in confusion.

It is worth mentioning that when Jingchen and Ke'er went to seek revenge on the female ghost, Jingchen was able to open the portal directly to the town of Saint Delos. At that time, it was because Ker'er still carried the magic of Saint Delos. Breath, with the help of this magical breath, Jingchen can directly use divine power to find the chosen direction.

Then you can directly open the portal to all the locations that Kerr passed in Saint Delos.

Similar to Ashe's hometown of Talos, Jingchen couldn't find anyone who had been to that place, so he couldn't control the portal and go there directly.

What's more, controlling the portal is a very painful thing. It consumes a lot of divine power, and the farther the distance, the greater the distance.

Sometimes traveling on your own is a good option.

......

The town of Talos is a small town located in the northeast of the Magic City. Apart from San Delos, it is another small town close to Cestu.

However, the scale of Talos is still larger than that of San Delos. In addition to connecting Cestu to the north, you can also go to another country by heading due east from Talos.

It is also known as "Drosia", the country of towers.

As a transit town connecting two major countries, this place is still very lively on weekdays.

An hour and a half later, the dusty Jingchen arrived at the entrance of Talos Town. The time he arrived here was about 02:30 in the afternoon. The afternoon sun shone on the bluestone paved road of the town. Carriages were walking on it, and the sounds of businessmen chatting could be heard one after another. Everything seemed very harmonious.

The architectural style of Talos is the same as that of the Magic City, except here you can feel the unique rural style of the Victorian period. Businessmen wear suits and top hats, and women wear some rustic but beautiful clothes and wander around the streets. The local tycoon was also wearing white clothes and walking on the road with his hands behind his back, followed by some guards.

Jingchen looked around, not appreciating the beautiful scenery of the town too much, and quickly found a small shop and walked over.

Xiaoxiao spent some money to buy a pack of spices. When paying the money, he asked the boss about Ai Xi.

In other words, it's about the Tarta family.

"Boss, can you tell me where the Tarta family is?"

While the boss was counting the money, Jing Chen asked with a smile.

Who would have thought that just after he finished saying this, he saw the boss's hands counting the money paused, and then he hurriedly counted the money and handed the change to Jing Chen.

As he did so, he argued that he didn't know.

Jing Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't say much. He just nodded lightly and left quickly.

With this look on his face, things might not be that simple.

Soon Jingchen gave more of the same money without change, asked the store owners to give them change, and then tested them by asking questions to see their reactions. However, he tried several stores along the way, and each store said that they did not know what the Tarta family was. .

On the contrary, Jingchen began to doubt whether Ai Xi's home was located in this place.

If one person doesn't know, is it possible that everyone doesn't know, but everyone answered him with affection and panic, which gave him a very strange feeling.

When he finally left a coffee shop after asking questions to no avail, several people in white suits soon opened the door and walked in.

When the boss with a frightened look saw the person coming, he became restless.

The leader, a middle-aged man, slowly took off the hat on his head and placed it casually on the counter. Then he said: "Boss, as usual, when do you plan to pay this month's protection fee?"

The boss didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly wrote down the food that the group of people wanted to drink, and took out the money that he had prepared long ago from the cabinet.

The man took the money, didn't bother to count it, and threw it directly to the people behind him, who put the money into a bag.

In that bag, there were also a lot of protection fees collected from other stores.

While pouring coffee for these people, the store owner said something.

"Mr. Pettus, a guy just asked about the Tarta family. I said I didn't know. Do you think..."

"Oh?"

The man named Pettus's eyes, which seemed to be uninterested in anything, became a little more lively because of these words.

"Where is that person now?"

The store manager pointed to the opposite store, where Jingchen was still testing in the same way.

Petters smiled, drank the coffee in one gulp, and then stood up.

"Brothers, there is work to do."

Then a group of people stood up with evil smiles, and subconsciously touched the daggers in their bags...

216. It’s me who decides life and death

So a group of people walked out of the door at the signal of the coffee shop owner and came to the shop across the street in a confident manner.

This is a ceramics shop. I have a good impression of the handicraft mirrors from my hometown. I browsed in the store for a while and bought many beautiful cups and bowls.

This kind of handicraft originating from an ancient country is very popular no matter where it goes. You can hardly imagine that it is made of a pile of clay, especially some blue and white porcelain, which is so uncanny that it makes you wonder. People can't help but sigh at the power of the motherland's handicrafts.

Jingchen bought a lot, and after paying, he put the porcelains one by one into his storage ring, while the shopkeeper in front of him was also peeling off his store's label on the porcelains little by little.

While he was tearing it apart, Jing Chen unexpectedly asked a question.

Of course, there is no doubt that the owner of the porcelain shop also chose to play dumb and said that he did not know.

Jing Chen frowned slightly, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh and silently put the things he bought back.

However, just when he was about to pick up his favorite bird-shaped teapot on the table, someone picked up the pot first.

Jing Chen couldn't help but raise his head and look at the strong man standing suddenly in front of him.

The visitor was naturally Pettus, who was collecting protection money in the coffee shop just now. At this time, he looked at Jing Chen, but there was no intention of treating him as a human being.

Out of caution, he actually started to test Jing Chen's magic power from all the way away, but the magic power he tested showed that the boy in front of him was only level 22.

Magic level 22 for a teenager?Could this be a human being?

So Petters walked over more boldly, but little did he know that this was done deliberately by Jing Chen.

Petters looked at the bird teapot in his hand, played with it for a while, and then said: "You are really interested in buying a teapot of this shape to cultivate your sentiments."

Jing Chen said in a calm tone: "Sir, if you also like it, there are some of the same style in this store, just go in and choose for yourself."

Petters said with a half-smile: "No, no, no, those on the shelves are meaningless. If they were selected, they would not be still on the shelves now, but should be in the hands of customers."

"I have always believed that the things chosen by people are the best, otherwise why would you spend money on such things?"

Jingchen said: "Because I like it."

"Hohoho, I'm sorry to tell you, I also like this one."

Then he looked at the owner of the porcelain shop and glared hard. Naturally, the owner didn't dare to say a word and looked respectful.

All this was also seen by Jing Chen, but he acted extremely calmly.

"It shouldn't cost me anything to take this thing away, right?"

The store owner also nodded repeatedly, but still looked at Jing Chen with some embarrassment, his eyes seemed to say that there was nothing he could do.

Jingchen could obviously see it, but he still watched all this silently.

But he didn't speak, but instead fueled the arrogance of these people.

So under Jingchen's gaze, Petters crushed the bird teapot in his hand and sprinkled the pieces on the ground bit by bit in front of him.

At the same time, he said: "Since it's mine, I can crush it into pieces if I want. What can you do to me?"

Then he first looked at the owner of the porcelain shop and said: "Your store must be able to distinguish right from wrong. If you find someone who is looking for trouble like this, you should kick him out directly. What business is there? Your protection fee will be increased next month." 20.00%.”

After saying this, the store owner was so excited that he knelt down on the ground.

The other people behind Pettus came to Jingchen's side unknowingly, staring at him with cold eyes.

Petters asked directly: "Boy, I heard that you are asking about the Tarta family all over the street. What, are you a distant relative of this family?"

Jing Chen's expression did not change at all, but he asked: "By asking this, do you mean you know where the Tarta family is?"

When Pettus heard this, he looked at the people around him and laughed, and the other followers around him also laughed.

"The Tarta family is about to be wiped out by Mr. Bailot. Do you know where they are? Hahahahaha, this bastard is so funny."

But Petters smiled, and then said with a cold face: "There is one more thing I'm afraid you don't know, so I'll tell you in advance."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Jing Chen said.

After he finished speaking, Pettus quickly took out his dagger, and his tone became extremely cold.

"Master Bailot said that in Talos, anyone who dares to mention the Tarta family can be killed in the street without asking for the result."

Jing Chen asked: "So, are you the law enforcement officers of this town?"

The rules of the city are that only law enforcement officers can kill people on the street, but they must provide the motive for the killing and relevant investigation materials afterwards.

Hearing Jingchen's question, Petters laughed even more unbridled.

"No one dares to mess with Mr. Bailot in this city. We are the law enforcement officers here. We have the final say on who lives and who dies in this place."

After hearing this, Jing Chen smiled, and then asked, "In this store today, who deserves to die and who deserves to live?"
