Chapter 162: Epitaph of a Warlock

Views:

Xu Le blinked, his expression slightly sincere.

"Are you truly an officer of the Law, Ms. Alley?"

He specifically emphasized the law enforcement officer because he wanted to confirm whether the Ai Li in front of him was the person the puppet had mentioned before.

If one level of information confirmation is not accurate enough, double confirmation, name + identity, will basically be accurate.

Had he found out what he looked like from last night's investigation? Had he confirmed what he looked like? Rewi decided to give it a try.

"I am indeed the Enforcer, but I don't think we have ever met?"

"No, I haven't seen it." Xu Le nodded.

Xu Le's performance made Ai Li a little unsure, but his suspicion about Xu Le's identity did not diminish.

Masters evil spells and has the ability to kill succubi at level 2.

Xu Le is most likely a spy from the Red Moon Temple.

Xu Le has quietly entered the ethereal state. There is too little information about Rewi Alley, so it is very simple to summarize.

She should no longer be Puppet's lackey, her position has been replaced by Brother Shu.

To be more precise, she is qualified to be a puppet lackey, that is, qualified to eat the puppet's destiny fruit.

It’s a pity that I got it cut off by myself. I’m sorry!

"I'm so sorry!"

Rewi Alley:

"What is he apologizing for? Apologizing for what happened last night

If Xu Le is a spy for the Red Moon Temple, there should be no need for him to apologize, right? "

The two people's thinking is not on the same channel at all, they each think in their own way.

"Any other questions? If not, let's go."

Xu Le was a little surprised to hear that this was about to begin:

"Don't have to wait for the others? Just the two of us?"

"The ancient ruins are an area that has been developed. There will be other law enforcement experts there to provide security. Because of the content of the mission, my responsibility is only to take care of your safety."

Although Ai Li explained a lot, he still gave Xu Le a very cold feeling, just like Wang Shu before.

This similarity in personality might be the reason why Pinocchio is also very satisfied with Wang Shu

Seeing Xu Le still hesitating, Ai Li frowned and asked with a double meaning:

"You have a question?"

"I'm fine."

Xu Le shook his head. Although he felt a little embarrassed for stealing Rewi Alley's Fruit of Destiny, he still had to continue making money.

Seeing that Xu Le agreed, Ai Li didn't waste any more words and just pushed the door and left.

She walked very fast and Xu Le could only follow behind her.

When they passed by the Law Enforcer Hall, they met Li Qingcheng again.

"Sister Ai Li? Xu Le, why are you…"

Ai Li is the person in charge of special tasks, and she really wants to know how Xu Le got in touch with Ai Li.

But Ai Li just glanced at her and said calmly:

"confidential."

Seeing Ai Li say this, Xu Le's eyes lit up, and he also said to Li Qingcheng who was looking at him:

"confidential."

Hearing that it was a secret, Li Qingcheng stopped talking.

Seeing that she had no intention of disturbing him again, Xu Le understood instantly and sent Li Qingcheng away with just one confidential sentence. Isn't this ten times better than the emotional chicken soup he had said before

After going out, Xu Le was about to sit in the passenger seat when he was stared at by Ai Li.

"Sit in the back."

"Why?" Xu Le was a little confused.

"That's not your seat."

"What if there are 5 people?"

"Then drive two cars."

Seeing that Rewi Alley had no intention of giving in, Xu Le curled his lips:

"Strange woman."

Driving on the road, Xu Le discovered that Rewi Alley was driving very fast, faster than anyone he had met before.

Not only fast, but also very stable.

This kind of stability is not about showing off driving skills or something, but about predicting road conditions.

She always seemed to be able to predict the possible appearance of people, cars, and even the road conditions in the future.

This ability is definitely not an ordinary driving skill.

"Observation Haki?"

"What does Observation Haki mean?"

Xu Le was stunned. How could he hear this

The voice he spoke just now was so soft that even he could hardly hear it. This hearing should not be what a normal human being has, right

"It's nothing, just my own random thoughts. Miss Ai Li, you have really good hearing."

"Ms. Ai Li." Ai Li emphasized expressionlessly.

"Oh, Ms. Alley."

This request is as crazy as it is.

After the steam train left the gate of Zion Area 4, it was very quiet along the way. Ai Li had no intention of talking to him, which made Xu Le a little anxious.

In fact, he wanted to open up a conversation because he currently knew nothing about the content of the mission. Deciphering ancient ruins sounded simple, but there were too many subdivisions in the content.

If he could get some information from Rewi Alley, he might be more confident.

After enduring for about 20 minutes, Xu Le finally lost his temper and spoke first:

"Ms. Ai Li, can you tell me about the research content of ancient ruins? I want to know the content of the task in advance so that I can prepare for the next work."

Ai Li's eyes flickered. Is he a spy

Judging from the personality differences shown in the investigation report and the numerous holes in his resume, the Xu Le in front of him and the real Xu Le are completely different people.

Because he is too weak, we must first rule out the possibility that he has been possessed by an evil spirit.

The other possibilities are very small. A sudden change in personality is unlikely to change many small habits.

I can only say that they are not the same person.

His repeated rejection of Li Qingcheng also supports this conjecture.

Only the Red Moon Temple possesses that kind of evil warlock power.

His purpose of coming to Zion should be to confirm the location of the ancient ruins near Zion.

After giving him the opportunity to complete the task, he came immediately.

If I am not mistaken, this Xu Le should be a disguised spy of the Red Moon Temple. That should be correct.

Now I act like I am going to do serious research, and I am really pretending.

"There's a pair of eye masks with a lock in the pocket behind my seat. Put them on now."

"Uh? Okay."

Xu Le probably guessed that Rewi Alley asked him to wear a blindfold to prevent him from knowing the location of the ancient ruins, so he didn't have any objection.

He came here to make money, and the location of the ancient ruins was completely unimportant to him.

"Is this okay?"

Ai Li was a little surprised when she saw Xu Le obediently put on the blindfold and even fastened the buckle on his own initiative. She originally thought that Xu Le would play tricks.

"Is this the level of professionalism of spies today?"

She muttered to herself in her heart, but changed her words.

“This excavation of ancient ruins is about the Ancient Yinduo Tree. We found a well-preserved Ancient Yinduo Tree in the underground ruins.

The tree is dead, but not completely dead, and according to research reports by other scholars, it may be close to a thousand years old.”

Ancient Sounds is indeed a taboo among taboos for warlocks, but everyone is studying it, some are studying it secretly, and some are studying it openly.

Because of the polluting nature of the ancient Yinduo power, the contents of the ancient Yinduo relics are also the most difficult to decipher.

Ai Li knew that young spies like Xu Le were usually used for positioning, and it was impossible for them to know more about Gu Yin...

"There are so many ancient sounds, great, that's exactly what I'm good at, it looks like this mission won't be in vain."

Seeing Xu Le's genuine smile in the rearview mirror, Ai Li was stunned.

Xu Le's confident tone made her doubt her previous judgment a little.

It must be fake.

"Are you good at studying ancient sounds? I heard that it is very dangerous. Only in some indescribable forbidden places can people study such things."

"Guyinduo is indeed very dangerous, but it is precisely because of the danger that we need to understand it."

"Why do you say that?"

“Because the Black Tide is getting stronger and stronger, if we don’t understand the secret of Gu Yinduo, we won’t know why the Black Tide is getting stronger and stronger.

No matter the current technology, sorcerers, or warrior armies, there is no way to keep up with the speed at which these two black tides are growing stronger.

Without revolutionary breakthroughs, mankind will surely perish. I am just a small person, and I will do my best to contribute as much as I can. To put it in a smaller way, it is to make more money for myself.

To put it in a broader sense, it is to build and serve one's hometown.

Of course, we can say it in a bigger way, so that one day, human beings can live in the light without having to linger on."

Click!

The car, which had been moving smoothly, was tripped by a stone.

Ai Li did not continue speaking, and Xu Le did not know what was going on because he could not see.

"Ms. Ai Li, what's wrong?"

After a while, Ai Li started again.

"It's almost time, get ready."

"Can we start the decoding work right away? I'm not good at dealing with people, so I don't want to have too much interaction with other people."

Xu Le really didn't want to communicate with others. When it came to deciphering ancient sounds and secret codes, he relied on his own real abilities.

If he were to chat with those scholars, wouldn't it completely expose the fact that he knows nothing at all

Of course, no contact is best.

But Xu Le's request made Ai Li even more confused. It was impossible for a normal spy to be like Xu Le.

When wearing blindfolds, they will definitely try their best to interact and communicate with others more, so as to understand the location of the ruins through indirect methods.

The original purpose of bringing Xu Le here...

In addition to wanting to uncover Xu Le's identity as a spy from the Red Moon Temple and use the magic-banning effect area of the ruins to make him have nowhere to escape.

He also wanted to provoke Zhang Nuoan, after all, Li Qingcheng seemed to care a lot about Xu Le.

This was supposed to be a win-win situation, but now... she was a little hesitant.

Will the spy say what Xu Le just said

What if Xu Le is not a spy from the Red Moon Temple

Ai Li took a deep breath and decided to slow down his plan. He should observe Xu Le for a while.

"I will try my best to meet your request, but I also hope that your ability can be as beautiful as your own words."

"Why is this woman so weird? I didn't provoke her, did I?" Xu Le was puzzled.

And Aili continued:

"There's one more thing I want to tell you."

"Please go ahead."

"Do you know Li Qingcheng?"

"This matter has nothing to do with the mission, right?" Xu Le was a little surprised.

"It's unrelated, but it's related to the people involved in the mission."

"What do you mean?"

"The person in charge of this project likes Li Qingcheng very much. If you don't want to get yourself into trouble, you'd better be careful."

It is indeed worth noting that the project leader likes Li Qingcheng.

Xu Le knew very well that sometimes it’s not a big deal just because you say it’s okay. The relationship between him and Li Qingcheng cannot be explained in just a few words.

He wanted to break up, but Li Qingcheng didn't. This was a threat to other people who were pursuing Li Qingcheng.

It is indeed necessary to conceal this information.

Is this a friendly reminder from Ai Li

"Thank you, Ms. Alley,"

Ai Li had no intention of continuing to speak, she didn't even say "you're welcome".

How rude! Since the Destiny Fruit has been eaten by Tree Brother, I won't bother with you.

Ai Li's car stopped steadily, and Xu Le stumbled as soon as he got out of the car.

Ai Li frowned slightly, then took Xu Le's hand and led him towards the ruins.

Ai Li's palms were very soft. They did not have the calluses that most warriors would get from holding weapons for a long time, nor were they extra rough. They were quite comfortable to hold.

"Thanks."

Thanks, still no response. This woman is really rude!

Gradually, Xu Le felt someone passing by him, and when they passed by these people, their clothes made a whirring sound.

It seemed to be the sound of a salute.

"Guards on duty? According to Li Qingcheng's previous description, the security guards on duty here are all level 3 warriors.

If this is true, then the security here is really strong."

After walking down the stairs, Xu Le heard a slightly gentle voice:

"Aili? Why are you here today?"

Zhang Nuoan glanced at Ai Li vaguely, especially when she was holding Xu Le's hand, the smile on his face deepened.

Ai Li seemed not to notice Zhang Nuoan's gaze. As he untied Xu Le's blindfold, he said:

"I found a very capable researcher of ancient sounds, Mr. Xu Le, who returned from studying abroad in Dengta."

Zhang Nuoan smiled. He felt that Ai Li was angry with him, but the way he expressed his anger was a bit clumsy.

"So you're a top student who returned from studying abroad at Lighthouse University. Hello, Mr. Xu Le. My name is Zhang Nuoan, and I'm the person in charge of the ruins in Area 4.

He is also the No. 3 person in charge of the Zion Progressives’ research on ancient sounds.”

"Hello."

Xu Le didn't like the person in front of him very much, mainly because he didn't like people who were as handsome as him.

To describe it more accurately, he particularly dislikes people who are handsome, high-ranking, and polite, so he speaks very little.

"When can we start work?" Xu Le didn't want to waste any more time talking to these people.

If they asked some academic questions, he really wouldn't be able to answer them.

"Don't be so anxious, we can hold a small meeting of researchers before starting the work.

While discussing research directions, we can also get familiar with each other’s expertise, making it easier to assign tasks.”

Zhang Nuoan’s request can be said to be reasonable. If he really does this, Xu Le will have no choice.

The probability is that you will be sent away in disgrace.

However, with the previous communication, Rewi Alley stood up and said something for him:

"Mr. Xu Le is already a Level 2 Warlock when he is less than 20 years old. He is also a colleague of Lighthouse Valley Jianuo and has the same bachelor's degree.

I think Mr. Xu Le's ability should be helpful to our subsequent decryption work. He is not good at socializing and is used to independent research, so let's skip the meeting."

After saying that, Ai Li motioned Xu Le to follow him.

Zhang Nuoan frowned slightly and tried to grab Ai Li again, but Ai Li dodged him again.

"Ai Li, the research on ancient sounds is very risky. Although a long time has passed here, the ancient sounds are still polluting.

If we don’t have enough knowledge about ancient sounds, it is possible to cause research accidents.”

Ai Li lowered his head. At this moment, if he bowed his head and admitted his mistake, he should be forgiven by Zhang Nuoan, right

However, she did not respond directly to Zhang Nuoan, but looked at Xu Le.

"Mr. Xu Le has a lot of knowledge about ancient music..."

Xu Le saw something different in Ai Li's eyes. He smiled and shook his head:

"I know Gu Yinduo very well, don't worry."

Ai Li nodded and looked at Zhang Nuoan again.

"As an executive officer, I already have a quota for recommending a mission. Let Mr. Xu Le try it. Shouldn't that be a problem?"

Xu Le listened to the conversation between the two and suddenly felt something was wrong. There was something wrong with these two people!

Seeing that Ai Li insisted, Zhang Nuoan did not continue to stop him.

He was a very smooth person, and at this point in time, he knew there was no way to stop Rewi Alley.

But instead of saying anything bad to Xu Le, he nodded and apologized to Xu Le.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu Le, I was wrong to question your academic ability just now, but as a sorcerer who knows a lot about ancient sounds, you should also understand that my concerns are not groundless.

The energy of Gu Yin Duo is too dangerous and extremely polluting. If I have offended you in any way, I apologize. Please forgive me."

Xu Le narrowed his eyes slightly. This Zhang Nuoan... is not simple.

What kind of personality should I show in front of such a person

The ethereal state did not allow Xu Le's hesitation to last long. He waved his hands and said:

"No, no, I don't have time to take care of those things. When will I start the research? I can't wait."

"It can be done right now." Zhang Nuoan said with a smile.

Ai Li led Xu Le to the depths of the ruins. As they walked forward, she asked uncertainly:

"Can you really?"

"Can you what?"

"fine."

"Don't worry, it's OK."

Xu Le's attention was now completely attracted by the ruins.

The broken prototype buildings, the winding streams, the oddly shaped stone tablets and bonfires did not look like items from a normal era.

Xu Le didn’t recognize the words above, at least not without the help of the ancient sound multi-perspective.

But these were not enough to shock Xu Le. What really shocked Xu Le was the ceiling of the ruins.

The ceiling is as dazzling as a mottled starry sky. Of course, judging from the current lighting, it is not a real starry sky.

Instead, it was filled with some kind of glowing blue crystals.

The black ceramic background serves as the night sky, and the blue crystals dot the stars. The two are interwoven to create such a starry picture.

Ai Li brought Xu Le to a broken stone tablet and stopped.

“This area is unstudied, you are new here, and I have no authority to influence the actions of those researchers.

Most of the other places are inhabited or have been studied by others, so we can only stay in this area for research, is that ok?"

While Ai Li was speaking, Xu Le had already slowly walked to the stone tablet and gently stroked the words and marks on it.

This practice was obviously against the rules, and Ai Li quickly said:

"Stop, you're not wearing gloves."

Xu Le shook his head and said with an inexplicable tone:

"If you wear gloves, you won't be able to sense the will of the owner of the ruins from the stone tablet."

"The will of the owner of the ruins? What does that mean?"
