There was no bright light effect or any superficial changes. Sicilian closed his eyes with a peaceful expression as if he was asleep.
Lu Ning looked on with cold eyes on the surface, but in fact she was a little frightened by this kind of "reform". Indeed, as Sicilian said, Jaze may have touched many taboo areas.
"Wake up."
After the black hand turned into mist and disappeared, Jaze whispered. As the words fell, Sicilian opened his eyes. The previous fear and viciousness were gone. He patted his pants and stood up and saluted Jaze: "Thank you for giving me real life."
"He created you, and I just extracted these traits. Of course, you are Sicilian, so there is no need to be suspicious." Jaze nodded, "You still retain your memory, so there is no need for me to talk nonsense, right?"
"Of course, I will explain everything, but Miss Jaze, even if you are one of the few black magicians in the world who can be recognized, you can't really appear on the surface. What's more, with your level, you probably can't communicate with the people behind the scenes. The black hand fights.”
"Sicilien, I am not a member of the Magic Council, nor a principal, nor a guard of this city. All I need to ensure is that the boss of this hotel will not be involved in inexplicable things, and to maintain law and order by the way. It’s not something I need to think about.”
"Ah...that's me worrying too much, Miss Jaze. I will be happy to help you with this."
Sicilian's change in attitude made Lu Ning feel a little uncomfortable... Although this was a change for the better in a sense, it was a bit difficult for people who came into contact with him for the first time to accept it.
And Sicilian really said everything.
The strength of the Twilight Thieves Group is naturally higher than that of the previous three thieves groups. Sicilian is considered the leader, but he is not the leader. He is only responsible for the affairs of this area. Although Lilian's contact is in his hands, he usually only lets his subordinates keep a little eye on it, which is far less important than what he heard from Saber before.
They had placed manpower in Evarong very early, so they knew more about the intelligence. The direct client of this operation was a remnant of the Star Circle Sect, a great mage from the Star Peepers. The task assigned was just to spread the magic books they had stolen to create chaos. But the Twilight Thieves Group naturally didn't just do tasks. They sent some people to investigate more related task lines, which even included the situation of the remnants of the Star Circle Sect lurking in Evarang.
"Star Ring..." Jaze frowned, "They are not planning to carry out sacrifices in Evar Gallery. Aren't the two departments of Star Breaker and Star Healer completely wiped out? If nothing else, Percival can take care of all these guys by himself."
"Of course, the two departments as combat forces have naturally perished long ago, but according to our reports, it seems that members of the Orderly Stars are guiding them. Their goal is not to perform sacrifices. It is a bit surprising to say that we are very suspicious. They’re working for other people, too.”
"Huh? Aren't those guys disobedient to everyone except the sect leaders? They can fight with each other, and they can still work according to other people's orders?"
"That's not clear. At least from our point of view, there are many things that can drive others to work for you. What's more, the star ring has long since ceased to exist. Now the remaining ones are just living in an ignoble way." Sicilian shook slightly Shaking his head, "The reason why we infer that they are also working for others is because we found some other special groups of people during the investigation. They don't seem to know the existence of the Star Ring remnants, but are carrying out their own work. At the same time, they seem to be in the same level as the Star Ring. Like a ring."
"On the level?" Lu Ning repeated the word.
"Lillian, think about it carefully. When we found you, it was actually the same as they found us. Someone built such a structure: He found some notorious but powerful organizations and released different information and magic to them. Guide related tasks. Then these organizations also adopted a similar approach. They also distributed tasks to different people or organizations. In this way, the identity of the top instigator would be extremely difficult to find out. Because Everyone is an insider and knows the danger of this matter, so everyone will do their best to keep this secret. But except for that person, no one knows what the purpose of the whole incident is."
"But you analyzed the structure." Jaze said.
"Everyone can analyze it, but how do you find the original person based on this structure? He must be a member of the Magic Council, otherwise it would be impossible to steal the magic book so easily again and again. However, the Magic Council There are a total of twelve Magic Emperor Saints as permanent members, how can we find out who ordered this mission?"
Sicilian smiled bitterly.
"The Twilight Thieves are a very powerful organization outside. We have three great magisters sitting in charge, but in the eyes of the Council, this can be wiped out with a wave of the hand. Not only us, I believe that the Star Ring Sect is actually nothing. For big things, they have the richest resources in the world, and their strength is beyond our imagination."
"Can I ask who are the other organizations you have found that operate at the same level as the Star Ring Sect?" Lu Ning asked.
"We found traces of two people. One is an organization that studies human transformation and magic transformation, trying to break through the limits of today's body and magic circulation. The other is against the spread of magic today and believes that ancient times should be restored to maintain the mystery and magic of magic. The majestic 'book-burning officials' are all notorious."
In this case, comparing the mission information given by the distribution center, Book Burning Officer should indeed be above the Twilight Thieves Group, so the mission ranking is right. It's just that we can't determine whether the level of Book Burning Officer is at which level of this structure.
"If the strength is higher than these, I think even the Magic Emperor may not be able to control it." Jaze spoke first, "But indeed, if there is a Magic Emperor behind the whole incident, Planning, I really have no choice. And this person must know Evarang very well. The members of the parliament have not changed much for a long time. They were also selected from the reserve members and have stayed here for at least fifty years."
"So at this level, Star Ring is probably directly contacted by that person?" Kuru frowned, "Who could it be?"
"It can only be twelve official members of the parliament. After all, apart from them, not even Percival can enter the library casually. But the problem is... everyone seems to have no suspicion on the surface." Jaze scratched his head with some trouble. .
"If we can get some information, maybe we can investigate. For example, they must have some properties as subordinates of the Sorcerer Emperor, as well as their previous resumes. I think these are not confidential matters, right?" Lu Ning suggested.
"We have nothing to do to check them. If we are discovered, the possibility of counterattack is higher." Jaze glanced at Lu Ning, "And you have forgotten who I am? With such a conspicuous identity as a black magician, I promise that as long as I make a little move, I will kill them." will be noticed."
"But Lilian is okay." Kuru said, "After all, you have come into contact with this matter, and you have your own reasons for insisting on investigating. You just need to make your reasons more sufficient."
"Yeah, if someone picks a fight with you, just bring him to me and we'll beat him up for you..."
"Jaze! Are you going to destroy my place?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you while I'm here, and this way we can intervene in this matter without knowing anything."
"You went directly there tonight!"
"That's Percival's explanation. I'll be confident if anyone asks. At worst, I won't believe that the Sorcerer Emperor dares to fight with the Sorcerer Sage openly."
Kuru stared at Jaze for a long time and found that he was convinced.
"But even if I want to investigate, I can't start now..." Lu Ning hesitated.
"You can start with the Twilight Thieves Group first. I will leave you some things that will be helpful to you." Sicilian smiled, "Anyway, I will definitely disappear from the Evar Gallery after tonight. Those things It’s useless if I keep it.”
"But we can't leave now." Lu Ning was puzzled.
Sicilian glanced at Jaze.
"Sicilien as a person will disappear until the ban is resolved," he said.
"Although you have changed your personality, you still retain your fierceness." Jaze jumped off the barrel and walked towards him step by step.
"This is all for survival. Miss Jaze, please allow me to explain the situation of my family to Miss Lillian, and then we will take action."
"no problem."
Sicilian took off a bunch of keys from his belt.
"This is the key to my house. I live alone. I usually have another place to talk to my subordinates. There is an address label on it. You wait until dawn and go to my house immediately. At that time, my disappearance has not been confirmed, and there is a parliament meeting. Strengthen the search for magic books. They may not be able to control me. I have all the correspondence in my book box. There are three photo crystals hidden behind the drawer beside the bed in my bedroom. These are the photos of my only three meetings with people from the Star Circle Sect. , I secretly recorded it. Finally, there is a hidden grid behind the frame of the only painting in the bathroom. Use a little magic on the square tiles to tap in the order of upper left, upper right, upper right, lower left, and upper right, and you can find information about us. Investigation records of the three organizations of Star Ring Sect, Evolution and Book Burning Officer."
Lu Ning took the key, nodded and stepped away.
At this time, Jaze's hand had already been put on Sicilian's shoulder, and with a muffled scream from his throat, his whole body began to transform. His bones and joints were completely misaligned and deformed, his head was flattened like a ball of dough, his eyes were sealed with eyelids, his cervical vertebrae were broken, and he was no longer human in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, Lu Ning has seen a lot of weird things, and now he is almost immune to many strange scenes, but he can't help but feel some discomfort.
Under such a drastic change, Sicilian did not have any blood flowing out. It was as if all the flesh, flesh, bones, tissues and organs had adjusted their positions. Soon, he turned into an armchair, and the clothes on his body turned into the same color as the chair. pattern.
This is not transfiguration. Transfiguration changes the appearance, but does not affect thoughts and consciousness. The most important thing is that transfiguration does not cause pain.
"Boss, find a place to put it. I think you must have some suitable places." Jaze said to Kulu.
"Um."
Kuru responded, picked up the chair, opened the door and walked out. But Lu Ning now looked around a little suspiciously. Now she doubted every piece of furniture here.
"That's what black magic is. People like Kuru and the others who know it and are willing to be friends with me either don't know what black magic is, or they don't know what black magic is at all." Jaze buttoned up the buttons on his collar again and took them off. Glove said, "Lillian, I can see some disgust in your eyes. This is normal. I have received countless looks and malice worse than this, but I will leave the choice to you."
After saying that, she opened the door and left.
Choice? The right to choose whether to still be friends with her?
Lu Ning also left the wine cellar with some random thoughts. Maybe people like Boliwell didn't know the truth about Jaze at all.
Black magic, unlike dark magic, Lillian didn't understand at all, but it was somewhat documented in the many books Lu Ning had read. Any magic is driven by the soul, and the soul energy that drives black magic is hatred, malice, curses and corruption. It can even be said that even some ordinary murderers are not qualified to learn this type of magic. On the other hand, those who can learn will definitely not be good people.
In any case, she had to check the relevant information. Although Jaze's performance so far cannot be better for her, to completely trust a black magician like Kulu... not even Lu Ning can do it.
When she walked up the stairs, she happened to see the dragon-blooded waitress standing there.
"The boss said he would find a place for you to rest tonight. If you are willing, come with me." She pointed casually and turned around to leave without waiting for Lu Ning's answer.
Lu Ning followed her into a guest room and said thank you. The waitress nodded: "We will sleep next door. If you need anything at night, you can call me. I don't know how to sleep."
"Thank you, my name is Lillian, can I know your name?"
"Rose, Jaze named me." She smiled proudly, "Nice to meet you, Lillian."
After saying that, she walked out of the room, and Lu Ning could still hear her whispering: "I guess I was right this time..."
"A bunch of weirdos." She laughed. After closing the door, she poured out everything in her pocket. In addition to a pile of boxes, there was also a stack of copied parchment. Lu Ning still didn't understand the words on it, but as long as she didn't use magic power, Contact is safe.
How different are rubbings and magic books? Lu Ning folded the parchments neatly, found a binding thread to twist them together, carefully put them away, and then dealt with the boxes.
For a real magic book, those coiled silver threads are still very fragile and can be easily injured by directly destroying the box. But now that Lu Ning knows the situation inside, she has some other methods.
She alternately used spark and water mist spells to partially heat up and cool down the crystal. Soon, during the continuous expansion and contraction, the crystal finally cracked. She carefully poured out the debris and removed the remaining crystal ball. Take out the silver wire inside and pick up the next one.
Before dawn, she finally took out all the silver threads in the magic book.
