Chapter 20 Underground Institutions
In the next few days, Stanley used all his relationships and began to track down the Oriental Killer. Xue Lian had also seen him, and the girl also drew a picture for him. She had never shown it before. Xue Lian had a high artistic talent, and the portraits she drew were really vivid and had a few pictures.
The Marquis of Sandro also blocked the gates of major ports and stepped up inspections, especially the ports. The killer was an Oriental man and was likely to take a boat back. The tenth ** must go from the port.
As for that space magic? Without the support of a large magic array, it is impossible to teleport from a long distance. In the entire West Carlo State, there are only a handful of large teleportation arrays.
But as Stanley said, it is hard to find someone on the vast East Coast of Liberty City.
Xuelian even went to find Xiao Luo, after all, the killer also set up a stall in the big market. But after asking around, no one in the market had seen this guy.
Sure enough, he came to set up a stall just to cheat Stanley's sword...
Time passed day by day, and as the Judgment Day approached, some eye-catching masters continued to enter Liberty City.
"Then...that's the magic lizard knight, Kalin!" On the street, a tall heavily armored knight rode a giant lizard that was ten meters long and three meters tall, scaring countless pedestrians to make way and discuss.
"I heard that he is a fifth-level master and refused the invitation from the Holy See..."
"What are these masters doing when they come to Liberty City to show off?"
"Have you heard that? His Majesty the Emperor's eldest prince was assassinated. The murderer proposed to break into the Tower of Judgment. Of course, the royal family could not afford the murderer, so he invited many masters to guard the tower!"
"No, that magic lizard knight may not even win the Paladin, who else can survive the tower guarding..."
"I heard it's not just him! Someone saw Master Zui yesterday!"
"That wandering mage who has very powerful martial arts and magic? This is not a chance at all!"
"Of course! Your Majesty the Emperor feels so distressed that he will kill the murderer at all costs. The more miserable the death, the better!"
…………
The people were talking a lot, but Xuelian and Stanley felt uncomfortable when they heard these messages...
"There are less than six days left..." In the tavern, Stanley's fingers holding the wine glass turned white, his brows frowned, and his unspeakable anxiety...
"There is no road that can be done..." Xue Lian held the notebook and crossed out the clues that the two of them had previously tracked them down...
"What is certain now is that the killer has never been active in the area of Liberty City before..." Stanley touched his chin: "It should have been specially for this assassination. Maybe, he has returned to Dongao Shenzhou..."
"How vast is Dongao Shenzhou..." Xue Lian shook her head: "If you really go back, it will be hard to find..."
"The main reason is that my power cannot extend over there... Even if I send someone to find him, when they come back, everything will be over..." Stanley sighed: "But I heard that there is a powerful intelligence agency under the command of the King of Zhenxi Palace, with forces spread across the winding sea... It's really not possible, I go and ask my father to ask King of Zhenxi to help... I hope he can help us for the sake of so many years of cooperation..."
"It's useless..." Xue Lian shook her head: "That's the lifeblood of the King of Zhenxi, and it will never be easily mobilized..."
"If you don't work, you have to try..." Stanley clenched his fists and said, "At worst, I'll be disappointed, but if I haven't tried hard and let Zhao Qiankun die here, I will definitely not forgive myself!"
Hearing this, Xue Lian lowered her head slightly...
"Miss Anna, you go back to the villa first. I'll discuss it with my father. Now I can only do it as a living horse. I hope the King of the West can help you!" Xue Lian nodded, and the two left the tavern. Stanley rushed towards the castle, but Xue Lian did not return to the villa, but came to the big market.
Xuelian twisted and turned around and rushed through the crowded streets and finally came to a grocery store run by Orientals.
It was getting late and the store was about to close. There was only one young man leaning on his chin and yawning against the counter.
Seeing a beautiful blonde girl entering the door, the guy straightened up, cheered up, and asked in standard Western Carlo common language: "What do girls want to buy?"
Unexpectedly, this girl who looked obviously from the West opened her mouth and spoke out the standard Dazhou Mandarin: "I want to make tea!"
"Cooking tea?" The young man raised his eyebrows, and the light flashed in his eyes: "Are you going to buy tea?"
"It's not just tea!" Xuelian stared at the boy's eyes and said, "I want to use the wood on the top of Xiji Mountain as firewood, use the ancient bronze cauldron as a cauldron, take the black spirit saltpet in the extreme north to attract the fire, and pour the rootless water of Antarctica to make tea!"
The boy narrowed his eyes: "These things you said are priceless treasures, and the small ones can't make the decision..."
"Then take me to see your boss!" Xue Lian smiled and said, "He'll rest in the back..."
"It's exactly..." The young man walked out from behind the counter: "Please, girl!"
After letting Xuelian into the inner room, the boy walked to the door, looked around, hung up the closed sign, closed the door and locked it.
There was no one in the inner room of the grocery store, and Xue Lian was not surprised. She sat on the chair and waited for a while. The boy closed the store, came to the inner room, saluted Xue Lian slightly, and then twisted the mechanism on the wall in order. There was only a sound of the mechanism. A bookshelves leaning against the wall slowly opened, revealing an authentic tunnel leading to the underground.
"Please, girl!"
Xuelian nodded and walked into the tunnel. The boy followed behind, twisting the mechanism inside the tunnel, and closing the bookshelf again, as if nothing had happened.
The passage was pitch black. The boy folded his hands together and recited a spell. Suddenly, a tongue of fire flew out of his hand, swept across the passage and lit the candlesticks on the walls on both sides.
I walked down the passage and finally arrived at a secret room. There was a bearded man guarding me at the door. When I saw the two of them, I frowned: "Little kid, why did you bring a foreign girl down?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" the young man scolded: "This girl knows our code, and she didn't respond after smelling the awakening fragrance in the inner room. She must be her own person!"
"Okay..." The bearded man curled his lips, reached out and lit it on the wall a few times, and the secret door opened.
Behind this secret door, there was an open hall. Many people from Dongao Shenzhou were busy here, like an underground agency! But strangely, no one made any noise at work. Even if they had to communicate, they tried to lower their voices. Perhaps they were afraid that they would be noticed by people on the ground.
Who would have thought that there was a secret institution built by the Oriental people underground in the Free City. However, Xuelian didn't seem surprised, but calmly walked through the crowd and entered a room with the boy.
There was a man of thirty-four or fifteen years old working in the room. He noticed someone entering the door and raised his head.
This man has a straight facial features and should have looked very handsome, but unfortunately, there was a scar on his left eye that broke his appearance, which added a bit of anger to his face!
"Head, this girl wants to see you!" The young man led Xuelian in: "She said the Class A secret order!"
"Caroan?" The man was slightly stunned when he saw Xue Lian's appearance: "Who introduced you?"
"I don't need an introduction!" Xue Lian smiled slightly, raised her hand, and took off the disguise mask from her face!
