After looking at the portrait carefully, Luka reached out and rubbed his temples.
Although Alva was relatively ordinary-looking, Luka always felt that the other person's temperament was vaguely familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"What are you looking at, dear? What did you find?"
Seeing Luka's appearance, Wei Yin immediately approached him curiously and asked. The two dumplings even took the opportunity to stick to Luka's arm and almost bounced him away.
"No, I just think this person looks familiar. I must have seen him somewhere." Luka shook his head, and then put the portrait back into Wei Yin's hand.
"I will check on this person myself when the time comes. Just continue to monitor him in shifts and don't alert them."
"I know." Wei Yin nodded obediently, then put the portrait into her clothes and turned around to leave.
It wasn't until Wei Yin left the room and closed the door that Luka sat down again, then took out the green ring and looked at it carefully.
"Why are you silent? Didn't you say that this thing is also rare in your hometown? What exactly is it?"
It was also at this time that Ululis's voice sounded in Luka's mind again, but there was a bit of weird ridicule in her tone.
"It's all over so soon? I thought it would take you a long time."
"You are wronging me, okay? This little time is enough for me to do anything. What I want to do should start in at least one hour." Luka immediately retorted after hearing this - he actually questioned his ability in that area. It was really bullying. Too many people.
"Oh, that's it. Then it seems I blamed you wrongly?" Ululis replied in a cold tone.
"The last time I saw you and them, I wrongly blamed you? How dare you keep a succubus at home? Sooner or later, it will suck you dry."
"That was an accident! As for whether I will be sucked dry, you don't need to worry about it." Luka replied speechlessly.
If it wasn't because he didn't offend Ululis too much, Luka would have wanted to reply to her directly, "If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself."
"Stop chatting and tell me what this is." Luka urged impatiently.
"If I read it correctly, the green ring on your hand is made of boundary stone ore. This is a very rare special mineral that can only be found in the gaps between different planes. It can be refined and Making magic props requires very high level of magic skills."
Is there only a gap between worlds?
When Luka heard this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and his eyes looking at the ring became a little more solemn.
Similar to some fantasy works in previous lives, this world also has the concept of "planes", the most famous of which is the hell plane where the demons live. To have the ability to enter the gaps between planes to collect minerals, at least one must Has master level combat power.
In other words, this "Pale Hand" organization is likely to have powerful people above the master level...
What is the concept of Grandmaster level?Although the kingdom that Luka is in now is not a powerful country on the mainland, it is still an above-average country. With a population of more than 600 million, there are only about ten master-level experts. No, even if there are secretly, there are only one or two at most.
Such a powerful and deeply hidden organization suddenly takes action against Naledo when the kingdom is facing a succession crisis. Its purpose is really unpredictable...
"So what exactly does this ring do?" Luka asked uneasily.
"How stupid... Since the ore can only be collected in the cracks between planes, of course it has the ability to affect space." Ululis complained dissatisfiedly.
"This thing has two functions. First, it can be used as a space beacon. Even if it is used as a target for long-distance transmission over hundreds of kilometers, there will be no deviation. Secondly, as long as it is infused with magic power, it can also be used in short distances. Seal the surrounding space for a period of time to prevent others from using teleportation."
Can it be used as coordinates for long-distance teleportation, and also has the function of sealing the surrounding space to prevent others from teleporting?
After listening to Ululis's explanation, and then recalling the old man's request to hide this thing near Naledo's bedroom, Luka felt a buzz in his head, and he immediately understood what their purpose was. .
If he really hid this ring somewhere outside Naledo's bedroom door, then the people of the Pale Hand can accurately teleport people at any time from any place within hundreds of kilometers near the royal capital, and Use it to block the surrounding space to prevent Naledo from escaping with the teleportation necklace around his neck. Kill or kidnap Naledo and then calmly use the teleportation to leave...
When the whole thing was discovered, the kingdom couldn't even trace it because the scope was too large.
Chapter 152 The Inner Ghost
"Is there any way to block this kind of thing?" Thinking of the danger of this thing, Luka felt a headache.
If a master-level strongman were suddenly teleported over, it would be quite difficult for him to deal with it.
"It's quite difficult, because the boundary stone is a substance that only exists between planes. It is very solid and almost indestructible. But you don't need to destroy it. You just need to throw it somewhere else. Yes." Ululis's voice echoed in Luka's head.
"Hmm... when using a boundary stone as a target for long-distance teleportation, can the caster know its specific location?"
Luka thought for a long time, and then a good idea suddenly came to his mind.
"It's very difficult. Even I can't accurately perceive the specific location of this beacon during long-distance transmission. The main reason is that the boundary stone on your ring is too small. It would be good to know a rough idea." Ululis replied after being silent for a while.
However, this answer is exactly what Luka wanted - if even a legendary magician like Ululis can't sense the specific location of the ring and teleport it, naturally neither can the people of the "Pale Hand", which means But he could do something wrong - for example, place the ring next to Naledo's residence, and then ambush the other party.
It’s hard to predict a head-on conflict, but if arrangements can be made in advance, even if the master-level strongman Luka comes to the opposite side, he will be sure to persuade him to stay. If Funia, who has a problem with the "Pale Hand", is called, A peak warrior at the master level, even if he reaches the grand master level, there is no problem in escaping intact.
"Thank you, you were a big help this time." Luka thanked Ululis in his mind.
"This kind of thing doesn't matter anymore, but you should be careful when doing things. Survival is the most important thing." Ululis gave the last instruction, and then her voice disappeared.
……
After ending the conversation, Luca did not immediately go to the south of the city to check out the suspicious tailor shop. Instead, he immediately rushed to Naledo's residence.
Although he already knew the purpose and method of action of the opponent, Luka was still worried that the people of the "Pale Hand" had backup plans. What if they were not the only one looking for him?
And being able to know that Naledo has a teleportation necklace on her body and make corresponding preparations shows that there is likely to be a deeply hidden inner ghost around her.
If this mole is not found, even if this incident is resolved safely, there will still be other troubles in the future.
"It's unbelievable... Are you saying that they all know that I have a teleportation necklace on me?"
In the bedroom, Naledo, who was rubbing his shoulders vigorously by Luka, suddenly turned ugly after listening to his story, biting his lips and tightening his eyebrows together.
"That's why I came directly to find you... Don't stop, keep going, just use some force there... Not many people know that you have this necklace on you. I suspect there is a mole around you." Luka explained while urging Naledo to continue massaging.
"So who knows about the teleportation necklace on you?"
Naledo was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then slowly spoke.
"There are less than ten people, and they are all my cronies or guards arranged by my father. Then there is you. To be honest, it is hard for me to imagine who among them betrayed me."
Naledo spoke a little softly, obviously having difficulty accepting that the people around him betrayed him.
"Is that so..." Luka closed his eyes and thought for a moment after hearing this, and then asked again.
"How many of you are not with you these days?"
"The ones who are not with me...then there are only three people." Naledo recalled after hearing this.
"Three people? That's easy to handle." Hearing this, Luka raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
His idea was simple. If the "Pale Hand" really placed someone next to Naledo who knew the important secret that she was wearing a teleportation necklace, under normal circumstances there would be no need to find anyone else to place the green ring. Just let that person do it.
So either they didn't really bribe or put people around Naledo, or that person is not here due to something and can't place the ring.
With this analysis, the scope of insiders is greatly reduced.
"In this way, you send messages to these people in the next few days, saying that you have been out for fun during this period, and then one day you suddenly send a message to them saying that you are going back for one night, but for three people The time is different, and if they take action by then, we will also know who the mole is." Luca told the entire plan in Naledo's ears.
"Hmm..." Naledo gritted his teeth and nodded, indicating that he had taken note of it.
For her, this incident was still a big blow. She didn't have many available people around her, but now there was a mole, and this mole also informed important information about herself to the organization that killed her mother. It's a combination of old and new hatreds.
After the two people discussed it, since it was getting late, Lucca simply spent the night in Naledo's bedroom, and by the way, he "comforted" her injured heart.
After Luka's one-on-one "intimate treatment" throughout the night, Naledo's complexion improved visibly the next morning, and he even took the initiative to give Luka another massage in the early morning.
It has to be said that as the number of times increased, Naledo gradually became more proficient in his skills, and he was surprisingly talented in this area.
After walking out of the palace feeling comfortable, Luka didn't waste any time and immediately came to the Knight Academy and knocked on the door of Funia's office.
Perhaps because of the "in-depth communication" last time, Funia did not touch Luka anymore this time, but greeted her gently.
And Luka didn't waste any more nonsense. He simply explained the cause and effect of the matter, then took out the green ring and placed it on Funia's desk.
"Very good, it's been more than ten years... these bastards finally can't sit still anymore." After listening to Luka's story, Funia stood up and gritted her teeth as she stared at the ring on the table, feeling something close to reality. A terrifying sense of oppression and murderous aura spread across the surface, just like a real dragon's power, and the pressure on the opposite side of Luka was a little breathless.
This is because he has better resistance after breaking through to the high level. If he had faced the pressure of Funia with full firepower before, he might really not be able to hold on.
"Sorry, I got a little excited." After noticing that Luka's face was not very good, Funia immediately sat back and took the initiative to calm down her pressure.
Such terrifying strength, no wonder he can become the commander of the Imperial Guard...
Luka, who felt the pressure suddenly reduced, couldn't help wiping the sweat on his forehead - the gap between himself and Funya, who was going all out, was probably wider than expected.
Chapter 153 Promise
If Funya had been in this state during the previous two fights, I might not have been able to survive even one face-to-face encounter.
"I promised to help you, not to mention I was prepared to deal with the Pale Hand, so you don't have to worry, as long as they dare to come, I will deal with them." Funya said in a cold tone, her eyes full of The decisive killing intent makes people feel chilling.
"Then please do it then."
Luka nodded slightly to express his gratitude. He knew that since Funia said these words, it meant that she was serious, and judging from her strength, she did have this ability.
Anyone who has been missing for many years would be excited to finally find a trace of his enemy.
"But I still have to remind you that the material of this ring is very special and can only be obtained by master-level experts, so it is best to set up traps in advance just in case." Although he is very confident in Funia's strength, But thinking of Ululis's words, Luka reminded her before leaving.
"Grandmaster level...I know." After hearing this, Funia's expression on her face became a little more solemn - the peak strength of the master level seems to be only one step away from the grandmaster, but in a real fight, the gap is huge. It's very exaggerated. Even if you have special dragon blood, it will be difficult to take advantage.
Although she is obsessed with fighting, she is not stupid. It is simply a crime to sit back and wait for the enemy to fight without setting a trap, not to mention that she is facing someone who has the "revenge of killing her father" with her.
How could they deal with the dead Clariant without setting a trap that they would never forget?
"We will also come to help when the time comes, so I'll leave this thing to you for safekeeping first." Luka said, putting the green ring into Funia's hand, and then left the room.
Although Luka predicts that the people from the "Pale Hand" will not come over yet, this is just a guess after all. If someone does suddenly teleport over, he may not be able to cope with it with his own combat power. The best option is It’s better to leave it to Funia for safekeeping first.
After leaving the Knight Academy, Luka first went back to the house to change into ordinary citizen clothes, and then put on makeup carefully.
Now he looks like a middle-aged uncle in his forties with a vicissitudes of life, and his body is slightly stooped, looking like he has been tortured by life.
If I hadn't traveled through time but stayed on Blue Star, I'm afraid this would be what I'd be like 20 years later...
Luka looked at his decadent middle-aged image in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
In fact, he was quite uncomfortable when he first traveled through time. Although it was a magical world with mysterious powers, in the end society was still at the level of the Middle Ages. The rich and nobles lived a prosperous life, but the lives of ordinary people were not as good as those of blue people. The good of the Middle Ages is limited.
There are no cheap and convenient means of transportation such as cars, no air conditioning, no social security, and no entertainment equipment such as mobile phones...
In the first few days after traveling through time, Luka really felt that it would be better to just die. The golden fingers were not yet used on the bodies of civilians, so it would be better not to wear them after traveling through time.
Fortunately, I survived. Although the process was somewhat tortuous, at least now I can live a life where I can party with beautiful girls every night.
"What's wrong, sighing like this all of a sudden?" Elufa, who was assisting Luka with makeup, asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, I just think of the old days. Maybe I will become like this uncle in the future." Luka looked at his appearance in the mirror and laughed at himself.
"How is that possible? If you are afraid of getting old, I will just transform you into a vampire." Hearing this, Elufa gently hugged Luka.
"That's right, hahaha. I'll leave it to you then." Luka ruffled Elufa's soft gray hair with a smile, causing Elufa to slap his arm coquettishly.
"Okay, it's time for us to set off." After Luka packed himself up, he stood up, stretched his muscles, and walked out the door.
After walking for several ten minutes with Elufa leading the way, Luka finally arrived outside the target tailor shop.
The tailor's shop is not big, with only a narrow storefront, and it looks to be quite old, as can be judged from the mottled marks on the walls.
Luka looked up and saw a wooden board hanging at the door with the word "edge" written on it, which seemed to be the name of the store.
It's really strange to call his tailor shop "offcuts".
However, Luka did not go in directly. Instead, he silently walked into a small restaurant next to the tailor shop, and then gently patted the back of a little man who was eating fried cod pieces.
"Who are you? Didn't you see that we were eating? Are you looking for a fight?" The silver-haired Lolita, who was interrupted from eating, turned around and saw that the person photographing her was a strange middle-aged man she had never seen before, and she was immediately furious.
"I think you're the one looking for a beating because your butt is itchy. Why don't you sneak over to eat without looking at that store?" Luka raised his eyebrows and replied directly in his native accent.
"Huh?" The silver-haired Loli widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Luka in surprise.
"Who are you? How do you know what we are doing here?!"
"Because I know who you are." Luka scratched the tip of Betty's nose and raised an evil smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Wait, you...are you Luka?!" The silver-haired Loli suddenly seemed to react, and then sniffed a few times with her nose and asked with a surprised expression.
"Why have you suddenly become so old? We almost don't recognize you."
"Because I'm so angry with you." Luka rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Ah? I, I was wrong, I'm sorry..." As soon as Betty heard this, her eyes widened in panic, and panic was written on her little face. She obviously took Luka's joke seriously.
"Okay, just kidding, eat it quickly, it won't taste good after it gets cold." Luka patted Betty's head lovingly.
"Huh? Luca, you are like this again. We are not little brats anymore. Don't tease us all the time..."
When Betty heard this, two small bumps appeared on her face, but then she immediately lowered her head and continued to eat the cod fillets.
"By the way, Luca, you didn't have any trouble there, did you?" Betty quickly finished the last bite of cod fillet, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and then asked Luca.
