Holm took the three letter papers that Joshua gave him and read it over and over again. Joshua didn't bother him any more, and after Holm agreed, he went directly to the sleeping baby girl in the room.
"You won't take her away?"
Ciri saw the bulge on the baby girl's forehead, which was not a human feature.
"Things like a nurture plan sound great, but the truth is I'm not ready to raise the next generation."
Joshua stretched out his finger to touch the sleeping baby, but after thinking for a moment, he gave up this move.
Ciri is a human, so she can't feel the difference between this baby girl and the Chaos Demon, but the blood flowing in Joshua's body reminds Joshua that the sleeping baby in front of him is not a real Chaos Demon...
She is some kind of existence similar to the Chaos Demon, but the magic on her body is not gray like the Chaos Demon.
The color of magic in this young creature is similar to blue, and when Joshua watched her, her hand moved slightly.
"Her arm seems to be engraved with... a magical inscription?" Ciri instantly saw the complex emblem on the baby girl's arm, entrenched on the arm like a tattoo.
"Is this the magic inscription of that system?"
Joshua tried to identify the meaning of the magical inscriptions on the baby girl's hands, but judging from Joshua's existing magical knowledge, these inscriptions were completely messy graffiti.
"I... don't know. I can recognize the inscription system of the god of running water and healing, as well as the god of thunder. I can also read part of the inscription system of burning flame and holy light, but the inscription system above..." Li carefully searched for a moment in his own memory, and finally could only shake his head weakly.
This kind of academic question is really difficult for Ciri, a practical spellcaster.
"It seems that after a while, only those in gray can be asked to come and identify."
Joshua didn't think that a baby girl who was randomly abandoned on the street would have such... complex inscriptions on her body. Her birth was not simple.
"Do you want to ask him?" Ciri pointed to Holm who was sitting there, staring nervously at Joshua's every move.
"There's no need for this. The information collected by the dark elf Qianmian may know more than her adoptive father."
Qiao Xiu took out a small bag of gold coins from his clothes and threw them directly to Hom. Hom stretched out his hand and used the bag of gold coins steadily. He has been in the bottom of Squirrel Street all year round. It is far from enough to have the ability to collect intelligence. of.
Holm also appears to be a good thief.
"There are twelve gold coins in it. Use these money to heal your injuries, and... You shouldn't want this child to be malnourished, right?" Qiao Xiu pointed to the sleeping baby girl in the swaddle.
Holm was holding the purse in one hand and the three pieces of letter paper in the other, but his words of thanks were interrupted by a gesture from Joshua.
"Looking forward to your performance tomorrow."
After Joshua left this sentence, he took Ciri to open the door and left the tavern.
When Joshua came out of Squirrel Street, it was already late at night, and a crow landed on the roof of the tavern and stared at Joshua with his head tilted.
"Thousand faces... Who are you asking her to monitor?"
Ciri noticed the crow on the roof of the tavern for the first time.
Most of the birds and creatures in Nolan are owls, and it is almost impossible to see a wild crow. Therefore, whoever sees a crow in any corner of Nolan is definitely the incarnation of a dark elf.
Joshua made a booing gesture at Ciri, and then pulled Ciri directly to a shop opposite the tavern.
This shop belongs to the black pigeon, and their leader, the dark elf, has greeted them in advance. Joshua and Ciri came to the second floor of the shop unimpeded, where Joshua can clearly see the opposite tavern and tavern alley. in the scenery.
Joshua and Ciri didn't wait long when a goblin appeared in the alley next to the tavern.
"That's the goblin that I beat up." Ciri recognized the sneaky goblin, but this time Joshua's target was not the goblin. Behind the goblin was a man covered in a white robe. figure below.
Under the robe is an armor similar to a knight's helmet, which directly blocks his appearance...
"He's the goblin's employer... The goblins say they're looking for here."
In the alley, the goblin danced and said something to the figure, and Joshua conveyed it to Ciri in turn.
"Dark Elf Thousand Faces told you?" Ciri glanced at the crow standing on the tavern, it was using its claws to repeatedly click in the air.
Although Ciri was reluctant to admit it, the crow was typing with its claws and sometimes its beak.
It seems that in order to be a qualified spy, the dark elf has practiced hard how to send text messages in the form of a crow.
"Yeah." Joshua nodded and continued to watch the movement on the other side of the tavern.
But just as Joshua and Ciri were talking, the other party seemed to sense something, and immediately raised his head to look at the second floor of the shop across the street.
Joshua's gaze met the guy who was shrouded in the robe, and a strange feeling rose up in Joshua's heart.
This is the same touch as "the substitute messengers will attract each other", Joshua can be sure that this guy must have a certain connection with the Chaos Demon family, but it feels like a human.
And the moment the other party found Qiao Xiu, he made the decision to escape almost instantly.
"Qianmian, stop him!"
With the order given by Joshua in the text message, the crow that was standing on the roof instantly changed back to the posture of a dark elf.
The longbow appeared in the dark elf's hand, and three arrows came off the string in just one second, hitting the ground under the opponent's feet!
As a result, his steps stopped, and the dark elf was about to shout lines like "stand still and don't move" when a torrent of magic power swept the entire alley.
The dark elf's vision was also blocked because of this, but she still caught up with the figure who fled to the depths of the alley with the torrent of magic power.
Joshua watched the dark elf and the target disappear from sight, and immediately opened the window and jumped down from the upstairs to catch up.
"Judging from the torrent of magic power released by that guy, he is no ordinary spellcaster." Ciri followed Joshua with his staff.
Just as Joshua ran into the alley of the tavern, he saw the dark elf standing alone at the end of the alley... At this time, the ground at the end of the alley had been completely... destroyed.
The ground was like a piece of cake being cut open by a hot knife, leaving only a huge hole with a horrible neat edge.
"Sorry... Your Highness Josh." The dark elf leaned against the edge of the wall, her calf stained with scarlet blood.
"Did he escape?"
Qiao Xiu walked slowly to the end of the alley and glanced at the divided ground, which was connected to Nolan's sewer.
The sewers are connected to the mines dug by the dwarves. The guy ran into Nolan's underground, and even if someone is sent to track him now, he will return without success.
"Is the injury on your body okay?" Joshua came to the dark elf's side, the injury on her leg seemed to be torn by something.
"This kind of injury can be easily recovered with the strength of the judge."
Although the Dark Elf regards the executioners of the Inquisition as her enemies in this life, she uses the same power as the Inquisitors, which is... the gray mist.
In ordinary life, the dark elves hide very well, and even the black wood elves have not discovered the truth of the magic power in the dark elves.
"His Royal Highness Joshua, that guy... can break the magic power in me." When the dark elf repaired his body with the gray fog, he said a news that surprised Joshua.
"Break the gray fog?" Qiao Xiu was stunned for a moment. During this time, the dark elf directly handed Qiao Xiu a rucksack with a few arrows stuck in the strap of the rucksack.
"This is what he 'left'... and, I saw some strange inscription marks on his hand," the dark elf said.
"… "
Joshua didn't answer the dark elf again, because Joshua's attention was already attracted by the things in his backpack.
It was a... slate about the size of a palm.
When Qiao Xiu touched this "slate", the lines engraved on the surface of the slate suddenly emitted a light blue light.
"Magic machinery?" Ciri leaned over and stared at this slate with a complex inscription on the back and a strange picture on the front.
"I'm not too sure, but I'll find out when I take it back and study it." Joshua said.
