It takes more than ten hours to drive on the expressway from Haicheng to Beijing. During this time, I was tired from running northeast and west. Xu Qian didn't plan to fly there directly. He had to go to the airport to take a plane, so he simply asked Qi Peng to drive all the way. When he arrived in the capital, he happened to take a rest in the car.
After all, Qi Peng is also a martial artist, and he can withstand it mentally. He has no problem with serving the director again before going back.
"How are those Americans doing? Is there any news?" Xu Qian leaned comfortably on the back of the rear seat and squinted his eyes.
"There is no news. They seem to have disappeared from the world and have never appeared again." Qi Peng answered cautiously while driving. He has been in contact with the bureau. Fortunately, he always updates the information. Otherwise, he would definitely be deducted from the director if he didn't know everything at this moment.
"Where are those magicians? Have you investigated their origins?" Xu Qian was still worried about how these people were able to take people away from him.
"We have sent a request to the Magician Alliance for assistance in the investigation, but they were vague and did not intend to cooperate at all."
This is to be expected. The Magician Alliance is basically wearing the same pants as the United States, so how can it possibly cooperate? It's just that the magician has not been active in China for many years, and rarely appears overseas, so China has very little information about the magician.
Xu Qian took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Xu Qian? Are you back?"
"Jacques, I believe you have already mastered the news of my return."
Xu Qian made the point, and Firadiac looked slightly embarrassed, "My friend, where are you now? If you are in France, we can have a drink."
"Jacques, I didn't call to have a drink with you. You can probably guess what my purpose is."
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds. "Xu Qian, the person you sent came to see me. I also watched your video, but I can only say that I am very sorry. My friend, if it is a private matter, I can bet Bring the entire Filardi family to help you. But this time is different. I am the president of France. I cannot risk the fate of the entire country to help you. I hope you can understand."
"I hope you didn't make the wrong choice, Jacques."
President Filardi is actually in a difficult position. Even though he is president, there are many things he cannot help but do. For example, this time they turned to the side of Daybreak and cooperated with Daybreak and Hades in Blue Sea Star's actions against Datang to put pressure on China. This is not something that one country can control. France is an important member of the European Union, so everyone must be united, and the EU Keeping up with the pace of the United States is an overall strategic issue. If France breaks away from the team and acts alone, it will inevitably be spurned by its teammates and will only become the target of public criticism. As president, Filardi will never make a fool of himself on this issue because of his personal relationship. Furthermore, how deep is the friendship between Filardi and Xu Qian? With Xu Qian's global status and status in China, Filardi can maintain a good personal relationship with Xu Qian no matter what. But if something really happens, his interests will come first. He can only say a few words to show his grace.
"I'm calling to ask you about the Magician's Alliance."
Filardi was slightly surprised. He did not understand the specific actions of the Superconsciousness Research Society and the Magician Alliance.
"What happened to the Magician Alliance?"
"They have entered China. If possible, I think you can provide some information about magicians. Just provide it as much as possible. We know too little about magicians."
Filardi agreed immediately, "No problem, I will send you some information we have right away. I hope it will be helpful to you."
After ending the call, Xu Qian removed his voice barrier and waited for the file sent by Feradi. About half an hour later, I did receive an email.
The file in the attachment did not contain much content. At first glance, it was just a brief description of the magician. Xu Qian knew as if he had a mirror in his mind. Filardi must have deleted most of the content in the original file. What he sent was just The most basic information is just a superficial effort. It is estimated that China has already mastered this content. However, it is still of some use to Xu Qian, at least it saves him from going back to the Special Branch database to search.
Magicians and superpowers are generally divided into nine levels, namely first-level to third-level magic apprentices, first-level to third-level magicians, and first-level to third-level magisters. In theory, third-level magisters The corresponding immortal cultivator is the Taiqing realm, and therefore a higher level of Great Mage has been derived, which is equivalent to the thousand-level or even the top Taiqing level. But here comes the question, do magicians also have higher levels? Such as angels and the like.
According to this information, this issue is also involved. It is said that magicians have existed for thousands of years, but it has never been heard of any magician who can surpass the level of the Grand Magister. But this does not mean that levels above the Great Mage do not exist. After all, after the Great Destruction Period, immortal cultivators will not be able to cultivate to become immortals, but that realm is real. As for the records about magicians in the Age of Immortals before the Great Destruction, they have not yet been found, so it is difficult to draw conclusions.
Part of the information is discussion text. There is a view that magicians actually belong to a branch of immortal cultivation. They are immortal practitioners who practice a special kind of cultivation method, and the manifestation of this method is magic. However, because the sea of qi cannot be found in the body of a magician, and due to the self-esteem of the Western world, this statement cannot be recognized. It was even branded as heresy hundreds of years ago, and it was not until the past hundred years that it became a An academic view exists.
"A magician is also an immortal cultivator?" Xu Qian was quite interested in this point.
His own cultivation is an alternative to the cultivation of immortality. The biggest feature is that he can absorb the cultivation of others for his own use. However, Xu Qian's own physical body has no problem and he can completely follow the path of normal cultivation. Therefore, the magic cultivation is special. There is not much use in coming to him. What about magicians? Indeed, it may also come from some special cultivation method. It's just that there is no explanation for the fact that there is no Qi Sea. Of course, immortal cultivation must have a Qi Sea. Even if Xu Qian forcibly transformed Lin Qiaoni, who was unable to practice, into one who could practice, he would just create a Qi Sea for her.
If you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it, it’s nerve-wracking.
He took out his cell phone again and made a call.
"Leader, long time no see."
"Xu Qian? I heard that you were back, and I didn't know if it was convenient for you to talk to me, so you called me right now. How is it? Is everything okay?"
"It's all good. I have some things to do when I come back this time, and I'll be leaving soon. Do you and Mr. Xuan have time? I'd like to meet you."
"When you come back, no matter how important things are, I have to push them away. I always have time for you. Tell me, when?"
"How about nine o'clock tomorrow morning?"
The car drove all night and finally drove into the capital at dawn. After walking for more than half an hour, we finally arrived at the home assigned to Xu Qian by the Special Branch Bureau.
As the acting director, he naturally has a residence in the capital, but the house arranged by the Special Branch is only rented to Xu Qian, and the monthly rent has to be deducted from his salary. When will he stop being the director? , I have to move out of this house.
"Qi Peng, can you hold on?"
"I'm fine. I'll drive you back to Haicheng no problem." Qi Peng's voice was loud and he was in good spirits.
"You come in too, take a shower and change clothes here, and follow me to Yinghua Terrace later."
Yinghuatai is the name of a place in Shangyuan, the center of Chinese political power. According to Chinese regulations, monks above the Qianyuan realm are prohibited from entering any place in Shangyuan except Yinghuatai. In other words, Mr. Ye must be in Shangyuan. Yuan made an appointment to meet Xu Qian and Xuan Jingting, but they could only meet at Yinghua Terrace. This regulation is actually to protect high-level officials who work and live in Shangyuan. China does not explicitly stipulate that monks should not engage in politics, but it does have such a meaning. Even in the past Special Bureau, once the director broke through to the realm of the God of War, he would resign and join the advisory group. If officials are regarded as civil servants, and monks are compared to military generals, then the general direction of China is that civilians govern the country and military personnel protect the country. This prevents the monks from disregarding the interests of ordinary people after taking power, but in this way, it is necessary to provide adequate protection for civil servants, otherwise it will be a great disaster for the country once they are threatened with force.
Therefore, neither Xu Qian nor Xuan Jingting could enter Shangyuan, except Yinghua Terrace.
