What Ji Xun didn't know was that while he was drinking at the Rose Tavern, a negotiation was also going on in the tavern across the street.
"Hey, Artest, I've given you a lot of respect as brothers, so I'm sitting here negotiating. What do you mean by this?"
"Dong Qi, you've gone too far. I won't say much. Those shops should be closed down. The rules should remain the same. Don't fuck around."
"Artai, you need to understand that it is not Hong Lou who wants to steal your business, but the customers themselves. Now times have changed. Those goods that used to be smuggled can now be delivered through formal channels. Those of yours Nowadays, inferior goods are thrown into the sewers and no one wants them. Why do you still expect to sell them at a high price? Customers want to buy good things with their money. This is not the past when you can make money with a gun pointed at your head. Now everyone makes money according to their own ability. What's more, each person wants to buy something good. Is it bothering you to buy something else?"
"What kind of opening bonuses and discount promotions are there in those stores of yours? They have poached all the customer channels of my store! Are you saying it won't affect you?"
"What does it matter to you if I lose my own money? I'm not selling on your territory. If you don't think so, you can give me a discount."
"Then there's no need to talk!"
When he said this, the table suddenly turned over.
Downing Street is the neighborhood with the highest probability of a conflagration.
The sound of gunfire is like disco music. It would be strange if there were not a few shots fired suddenly at night.
As soon as the fight started, the security guards of the tavern skillfully took out a bunch of mechanical shields and piled them into a shield wall at the door.
Instead of being frightened, the drinkers lay down near the shield wall to watch the battle with great interest.
Ji Xun originally thought it was just an ordinary gunfight, but it sounded like it was "Hong Lou" and "Brotherhood", the two biggest gangs in Innocence City.
He also became interested immediately.
He was sitting near the door, so he could see what was going on outside.
The passers-by on the street had fled far away, and the two gangs were confronting each other on the street.
Most of the people in the group were shirtless, showing muscles and ominous tattoos;
Another group of leather motorcycles and various guns.
It feels like a duel between a traditional martial arts school and a motorcycle gang.
During the confrontation between the two sides, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people had accumulated on each side.
This tense posture looked like a large-scale conflagration was about to take place.
"."
Ji Xun also frowned.
It's best not to watch this kind of excitement.
The mechanical shield can only block ordinary bullets. This posture is not like a small fight. Ordinary shields cannot give people a sense of security.
But when he looked at the leather-clad woman who was the leader of the motorcycle gang, he felt inexplicably familiar.
Although he was wearing a mechanical helmet, he had a vague feeling that it was "Dong Qi" who had pointed him to the black market in the first place?
Sister Bo on the side took a look and smiled: "You can't fight."
Ji Xun also asked curiously, "Oh?"
Sister Bo is worthy of being an information dealer, and she said directly: "On one side is Miss Honglou, and on the other side is the seventh leader of the Brotherhood, "Boxing Champion" Artest. If these two really fight, Sinless City will immediately be in chaos. It's probably because the business issues have collapsed recently, and there's no place to put out the fire, so I just lift the table. "
When Ji Xun heard the identity of Miss Honglou, he basically confirmed that the woman in leather was "Dong Qi".
No wonder the owner of the "Silver Star Mystery Shop" could sell him the best goods at the bottom of the box with just one name. She turned out to be the eldest lady of the biggest gangster in Innocence City?
And what a coincidence.
Ji Xun looked at the "boxing champion" Artest across from him, and his expression suddenly became weird: "No wonder the owner of the Silver Star Shop said that the origin of the golden fragment was sensitive. Could it be from this person?"
This guy is shirtless, has dark skin, and has a tiger tattooed on his body.
The black magic power all over his body overflows like fire, but it is not attached to the body surface like other second-level spell card masters, but is separated by a "vacuum layer".
But looking at the vacuum layer on the surface of Artai's body, Ji Xunye raised the corners of his eyes slightly: "Is it Gang Qi?"
He himself knows a [Hard Qigong] and is no stranger to Qigong masters.
The mantra's power overflows and condenses into a gang. This is a qigong master's advanced secret method of controlling qi.
Just this layer of Gang Qi can easily block the demon-breaking bullets.
This is a real master!
But that's not the focus of Ji Xun's attention.
To be able to practice this "Gang Qi", in addition to proficiency, the most important thing is that the power of the curse must be extremely exaggerated to condense this kind of vacuum layer. Theoretically speaking, it is impossible for qigong masters below the third level to practice it.
This Artest is only at the second level.
Moreover, each elemental magic power almost has a highly distinguishable color.
For example, the magic power of the fire element is red, and the water element is blue.
The black one is either dark magic power, or Ji Xun's magic power mixed with multiple elements.
Just based on these two points, Ji Xun has determined that the breathing method practiced by this guy is the same as his own, which is the incomplete golden breathing method!
Seeing this, Ji Xun suddenly thought of something: "No, he is already a second-level spell card master. He should not only have six-level spells."
According to my current cultivation speed, it will probably take less than a few months to reach the sixth level of spell power.
Originally, I was a little worried that this was an incomplete technique and could not find a follow-up.
Looking at it now, it seems like there really is one?
However, this Artest is not an easy character to get along with at first glance.
Do you really want to go to someone's door and ask someone to sell their unique secret method? I'm afraid your head will be blown off on the spot.
It’s hard to get this skill later.
The confrontation on the street was just as Sister Bo said. Although it was very noisy, it did not lead to a fight.
But this movement also attracted more and more people to watch.
Ji Xun was watching the excitement in the Rose Tavern, but his eyes were looking around the crowd from time to time.
The Silver Moon Sect's gathering was said to be at nine o'clock, but now it's already half past nine without realizing it.
He had been observing on the first floor and found nothing unusual.
There are some entertainment boxes on the second floor of Rose Tavern. Because they are sealed, few people have been seen before.
But now because of the hustle and bustle on the street, those people in the private room on the second floor also came out to watch the excitement.
Ji Xun glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly captured something keenly.
He saw a drunkard coming out of a room on the second floor.
This is not surprising, but Ji Xun saw the out-of-control spell power on that guy like octopus tentacles!
Except for corpses, Ji Xun had never seen such irregular spell leakage from any living person. He immediately thought of something: ""Lone Wolf" Baron? "
But he had seen Balon on the train, and he didn't look like this.
Not everyone has a clown mask to change their face.
Suddenly he thought of something and suddenly realized: "Change your skin!"
Ji Xun finally knew where the human skin that the doctor had peeled off went.
I also know why the people of the Silver Moon Sect hide themselves so well.
These guys just changed their skins!
The physical appearance changes will not be noticed at all.
“This craftsmanship is really amazing”
Ji Xun looked at the skin that was no different from that of ordinary people and sighed.
But the fact now is that the doctor has been killed, and I don’t know if they can be replaced.
Seeing Balon appear, he was now sure that the [Silver Moon Mirror] was the internal communication device of their sect.
Originally, I wanted to send another reporting letter.
But the thought disappeared as soon as I thought about it.
It doesn't necessarily hurt others, and it doesn't benefit oneself at all.
Now, except for a person suspected of being Baron, he was not sure that the other people in the tavern were members of the Silver Moon Sect.
There is a mole within the Golden Oak Security Company, and a report letter may not be effective.
If you really want to alert the snake, you might even expose the fact that the mirror leaked information.
What's more, people are gone now.
For a time, Ji Xun had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
There must be something going on with this mirror.
But now is not a good time.
These guys are probably here to discuss the auction in three days. By staring at the mirror, they may be able to intercept some information.
Without realizing it, Ji Xun had pieced together the information he had and formed vague plans in his mind.
Not long after, Ji Xun left the Rose Tavern.
He didn't expect to discover any big secrets. Confirming that the mirror was useful was already the biggest gain.
Ji Xun walked all the way back and returned to the abandoned building.
I looked at the trap near the mirror, but no one found it.
He also felt more at ease.
In fact, when Ji Xun saw Baron appear before, he was already basically sure that there would be no trouble with the mirror.
Otherwise, those frightened members of the Silver Moon Sect would definitely not continue gathering at the Rose Tavern.
Now that the news that should be confirmed has been confirmed, Ji Xun did not run around and continued to digest the gains of these days in the dilapidated building.
I don’t know if it’s his comprehension or his own ability to study distractedly.
Now he is very proficient in meditation, and he can fully operate the breathing formula without focusing too much.
You can even do something else to distract yourself.
When practicing the breathing method, strenuous exercise is not allowed, but there is no need to close your eyes.
Ji Xun thought about it, and took out the "Encyclopedia of Card Masters" that he bought from the black market before and started reading.
The handwritten parchment has a good texture and although it is expensive, it can be stored for a long time.
The pages were yellowing, and Ji Xun estimated that the set in his hand was probably nearly a hundred years old.
When reading, it always gives people a sense of the weight of time.
He was already curious about everything in the other world, and this kind of textbook didn't feel boring at all.
Basic principles of spells, card production, introduction to Warcraft and aberrations.
In his eyes, those boring pieces of knowledge were like little elves popping into his mind.
As the pages of the book turned over, Ji Xun gradually gained more and more understanding of the world in his mind.
There is always a sense of expectation in my mind to glimpse the mystery.
But as I was flipping through the pages, suddenly, a piece of letterhead fell out of the book.
Ji Xun picked it up curiously and saw that it seemed to be a letter?
The content is as follows: "Grandpa gave me a birthday gift and said it would be a big surprise for me. I was obviously looking forward to it. But he encrypted it in Tarungu and asked me to decipher it myself. Grandpa also I very cunningly asked the teachers at the college not to help me, and asked me to read the books and interpret them myself. But these ancient characters are so difficult, and it gives me a headache to read them. It would be great if someone could help me. Please help me translate this What do these symbols mean? I’m really looking forward to the gift. I promise that if I get a response, I will study it hard in the future. ▽,,,ω,.”
Ji Xun read the contents on the letter and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Reading the words above, he seemed to see a depressed girl supporting her head with her hands at the desk, writing a letter while pouting and muttering resentfully.
Learning words requires intellectual talent. You cannot learn a language by giving you a dictionary.
Not to mention the simplified demonic language of Talungu.
Ji Xun looked at this and shook his head with a smile.
Not really interested.
This is an old thing after all.
I thought this might be the letter paper that the previous owner of this book accidentally got stuck inside when he was selling used books.
Ji Xun saw that it was missing a bookmark, so he kept the exquisite letter paper.
He continued to read.
But don't know why.
Later, my reading efficiency dropped.
I could be completely immersed in it just now, but now my thoughts are interrupted from time to time.
When I think about it, the characters in my previous notes seem to have some kind of magic power, and they echo in my mind from time to time.
I know it, but I don’t have an answer.
It feels like I haven't done what I should do, and I always feel like something is wrong.
Thinking.
Ji Xun thought and took out the pen by mistake.
Under the piece of paper, he wrote several Talungu words with the general meanings: gift, garden, tree house, seal.
He looked at what he had written and smiled.
Strangely enough, after writing these few words, it felt like I had fulfilled some secret agreement, and I instantly felt magically refreshed.
The restless thoughts in my mind immediately disappeared.
Ji Xun didn't think much and fell into meditation.
Three days passed by.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the auction came.
Ji Xun was still wondering that there had been no movement since the Rose Tavern that day.
But early in the morning, a new secret message finally appeared in [Silver Moon Mirror]: "Act as planned."
Ji Xun deciphered this message and already understood that those guys from the Silver Moon Sect were really planning to pay attention to the auction items.
And take action today!
But there are only a few of them, how dare they?
PS. I was deleting the manuscript and sorting out the details when it was released, so there wasn’t much progress in these chapters. I originally wanted to take a leave of absence to sort it out, but I didn’t feel good about it until it was put on the shelves. Fortunately, it's almost sorted. Sorry sorry.
Thanks to '1500', 'PLAYer006'1415, 'Happy Bad Guy', 'Maple Leaf Banqiu', 'Laoyu e', 'rekaodu', 'White Porcelain Qian Foreign Wine' for their support. Thanks.
