MTL - Age of Mysticism-Chapter 408 Praying Mantis Cicada
Clear Sky looked at the magic projection on the crystal wall, and the two figures were advancing in the underground soil layer at a very fast speed. They should be the Shadow Clan who assassinated Elder Chun.
Looking at the shape, one is a crypt man who is very common in the deep world, and the other is a relatively rare human face servant.
Adult cryptmen are generally between 1.3 and 1.4 meters tall, with dark brown skin. Their backs are bent forward like shrimps, and their hands are thicker than their legs due to the need to dig dirt.
Human body is a supernatural fungal creature, and a human body is actually composed of countless fungi. When hunting, the human mask will change its shape according to the characteristics of the prey, and it is a kind of hunter who is good at changing.
In the magic projection, the caveman and the masked man move freely underground, like fish swimming in water. After several stealthy ascents to determine the location, they arrived near the east tower of the palace.
Then there is lurking.
During this period, it was obvious that Deep Sleep hadn't wasted time staring at them, so the scene turned to the moment of assassination.
It was night, and the people of Shuojin were coming out of the east tower one after another, apparently they were going to attend the banquet held by the Marquis of Raging Waves.
It is necessary to walk from the east tower to the gate of the palace. The Shuojin people walk very scattered, and their vigilance is very low.
Elder Chun did not walk with Elder Mu, his character was taciturn, and his gloomy appearance caused the surrounding Shuojin people to intentionally distance themselves from him. Only a pair of twins who were responsible for protecting him followed him behind.
A single high-quality prey immediately became the target of the cavemen and the human enlistment.
They approached from the ground very carefully, and took the trouble to approach from all directions, shortening the distance bit by bit.
Arriving at the corner of a flower bed, Elder Chun briefly lost sight of the Shuojin brigade. The cave man jumped out of the soil in the flower bed in an instant, grabbed Elder Chun by the throat with his hands like pliers and threw him down. At the same time, a hole was opened where he fell to the ground, just for the two to fall in.
The two Shuojin people following Elder Chun did not respond at all, and continued to move forward as if Elder Chun was still ahead. The human mask followed them, she had the appearance of a human woman, but like an exquisite mask, people couldn't help but feel fear.
The underground Elder Chun was firmly controlled from the moment he was attacked, and he was even more powerless to resist after being dragged underground. A Shuojin elder with great authority was assassinated just like that.
The Shuojin people who accompanied him didn't notice it at all.
After killing Elder Chun, the Crypt Man caught up with the Shuo Jin Brigade from underground, and then chose the right time to float to the surface.
Judging from the magic image, the people from the cave got on the carriage of the Jin people in such a grand manner, and left the palace together.
Image ends.
Crystal Man Shenmian immediately asked: "I have shown you the process of the assassination of the Shuojin elder, and you should tell me the remaining half of the formula."
"I'm going to watch it again."
Deep sleep puzzled and asked: "Why?"
"The next assassination target of the Shadow Clan is me. I want to know more about them. You can play it again, and it won't consume much magic power. I will explain it to you while watching."
Shen Mian felt that since Qingkong had told him the second half of the formula, he would not suffer any disadvantage if he played it again.
So the two shadow clans appeared on the magic image again.
Clear Sky explained the crystal magic curve formula for Shenmian. This is a hidden plot in the Epoch game when the player clears the Shenmian dungeon, so you can find the formula by flipping through the strategy.
Soon the formula was finished, and the magic video was also watched.
Qing Kong has a general understanding of the strength of the two Shadow Clans.
As Archangel Gold said, in a head-to-head battle, you can still beat them both with one hand tied. It's just that the Shadow Clan also knows their own strengths and weaknesses. They hide in the dark looking for opportunities to attack, and they are hard to guard against.
Moreover, they not only have extremely superb hiding ability, but also have a very strong spiritual influence. It is almost impossible to find them by hunting them down.
It's a pity that the Sheriff, the shadow clan, has gone astray, otherwise it would be a good reference...
"Your Majesty the Clear Sky!" The deep sleep awakened the pensive Clear Sky: "Thank you for giving me the formula, it has trapped me for a long time, I know I am very close, but it is only in these small details.
Excuse me...can you tell me about the structure of the Bandar Tower? "
Qingkong looked at Shenmian, full of thirst for knowledge.
"Of course I can tell you, but..." Qing Kong panted and said, "You have to help me catch these two Shadow Clans."
This…
Looking at a magic image, you can get the formula of the crystal magic curve. When you get to the Bundalta structure, you need to catch two shadow tribes.
The span of difficulty is too big!
"Miss Skylight, the Shadow Clan is no longer in the palace, and I don't like leaving here."
Qing Kong said with a smile: "The Shadow Clan is not in the palace, but they are definitely in the imperial capital. I don't want you to travel far. Just because you don't like to leave here doesn't mean you can't leave here.
For the Bundalta construction, I think it's worth the deal. "
Bandar Tower structure is a theoretical crystal structure, which uses the unique magical properties of crystals to achieve the effect of full magic immunity.
This is a very big temptation for Shenmian, who is a crystal person.
But thinking that the other party is two shadow clans, and he wants to leave the crystal matrix, Shenmian hesitated and said: "Now that I know the formula of the crystal magic curve, it is only a matter of time before I can research the Bundalta structure."
Qing Kong walked up to Shen Mian and said: "You are also a scholar, so you should know that some problems can be easily solved as long as the inspiration comes, but if the inspiration doesn't come, you can't solve it.
How much time are you going to spend on Bundar Tower construction?
I can tell you responsibly that I am the only one in the world who knows the structure of Bundar Tower. If you miss this opportunity, if you want to get the Bundalta structure from me, it will not be at this price! "
Shen Mian knew that what Qingkong said was right. To a certain extent, academic research does not result in hard work. It takes talent and luck.
"What are your plans? What can I do for you?"
Seeing Shenmian's attitude loosen, Qingkong said: "From the magic effects you recorded, it can be seen that your ability to hide and move underground is better than that of the two shadow races.
And their spiritual influence has no effect on you, you are simply born to restrain the shadow race.
The two shadowfolk were targeting me, and I rarely leave my museum, so they must be hiding near or inside the museum.
I will bring you as exhibits to the museum and display them in the exhibition area, and you will be responsible for finding them. After determining their location, they will be arrested and killed if they cannot be caught.
As long as you agree to the deal, I can teach you the Bundalta structure in advance, and your body has two states, the enchanted state and the magic-immune state. No matter how you fight these two shadow tribes, you will not be your opponent. "
As a crystal-type extraordinary creature, Deep Sleep has the ability to change the molecular structure of the body by itself, so the state of magic immunity is very tempting to him.
Deep Sleep didn't think too much this time: "Okay, I agree to this transaction. But let me explain in advance, I will only help you catch these two Shadow Clans, and I won't do anything else."
Qingkong said with a smile: "Of course! But I still need to trouble you to bring Elder Chun's body. It is located very deep underground. You probably don't want me to have someone dig it all the way down from above..."
Outside the emperor's bedroom, Agatha waited anxiously.
Qing Kong disappeared as soon as she said she would disappear, and she promised to come back soon, but... Agatha took out her pocket watch, and more than an hour had passed.
I don’t know if she arrived at the exact location smoothly, or if there was a conflict with the deep sleep of the Crystal Man.
The last time I was in the Crystal Palace, I could see that the crystal man Deep Sleep was extremely powerful. Is Qingkong his opponent?
Just when Agatha couldn't stop thinking wildly, and was even about to try to find Millscombe again, Clear Sky appeared beside her in an instant.
"Clear Sky..."
"Elder Chun's body was found."
Just after Qing Kong finished speaking, the ground under her feet was in the shape of a vortex, and then a corpse was spit out by the center of the vortex.
Agatha immediately squatted down to examine the identity and condition of the corpse.
It is indeed Elder Chun from the Shuojin people. He died grimly, his chest was torn to reveal bones and internal organs, blood and mud mixed all over his body.
Agatha looked up at Qingkong and asked, "Where did you find him?"
Qing Kong replied: "Shen Mian found it, and he also saw the entire assassination process. This must be kept secret."
Agatha nodded.
They all saw the assassination process, if they don't rescue them, what will the Shuojin people think?
"What else did Deep Sleep say?"
"It's roughly the same as Archangel Gold speculated. This assassination was committed by two shadow clans. One of them is a crypt man, and the other is a human face servant. The crypt man is responsible for the assassination, and the human face servant is responsible for the mental influence. The Shuojin people killed Elder Chun on the way to the Marquis of Raging Waves, and the people from the Crypt disguised themselves as Elder Chun and got into the car of the Shuojin people."
Hearing that there were really two Shadow Clans, and that they were able to kill their elders without being discovered in the Jin Jin people's team, Agatha felt a chill down her back just thinking about it.
"If I don't catch them soon, I can't trust the people closest to me.
Do you have any plans? "
"Yes, but it has nothing to do with you. Have someone put Elder Chun's body in a coffin and send it to my museum, and leave the rest to me."
Agatha said worriedly: "Do you need to notify the Shuojin people? But if they know, they will definitely go and ask for it."
Qing Kong said very simply: "I'll notify them when Elder Chun's body is sent to my museum. As for them coming to ask for it... I need them to cause trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better."
Agatha immediately understood Qingkong's intentions: "The two shadow tribes know that you have found Elder Chun's body, and they will definitely find a way to confirm it, so you have a chance to catch them.
There are only two shadow tribes, and they are very good at sneaking underground. If you don't pay attention, you will be escaped by them. I'd better choose a few earth magicians to assist you. "
"I've already found a helper." Clear Sky pointed to a long wooden box nearby and said, "Send that box to my museum as well, and tell the housekeeper, Fitch, to make a storage record. It will be put away before tonight. It will be displayed in the central exhibition area of the hall on the first floor."
Agatha looked along the direction of the clear sky, wondering in her heart, is there such a big box at that position just now?
And this is the imperial palace, how could someone randomly put such boxes here?
Qing Kong has always been known for being powerful and mysterious. She didn't explain, and Agatha didn't ask any more questions, and just followed suit.
After Qingkong left, Agatha immediately asked someone to put Elder Chun's body into a coffin, and sent it to Qingkong's museum together with the mysterious box.
After confirming that Fitch, the housekeeper of the museum, had received all of them, Agatha went to the east tower of the palace in person to inform the left-behind Shuojin people that Elder Chun's body had been found by Her Majesty Queen Clear Sky.
Now that the body has been sent to Her Majesty's Museum, Her Majesty will personally conduct an autopsy on Elder Chun's body.
When the Shuojin man heard the news, he immediately exploded.
You found the body of our elder, not only did you not send it back to us, but you also asked for an autopsy!
What qualifications do you have to autopsy the elders of the Shimmering Gold people!
Facing the protests from the Shuojin people, Agatha, who had been shut down several times in a row, shrugged: "Queen Clear Sky found the corpse, and it has nothing to do with our empire. It's useless for you to get angry with me. Go there as soon as you have time." Find Her Majesty the Queen, maybe she hasn't used the knife yet."
Only then did Shuojin realize that it was really useless to get angry with the eldest princess of the Golden Shield Empire, so he immediately sent someone to Qingkong's museum.
Results are informed.
Elder Chun's body is indeed in the museum, but they can't give the body to the Glitter without Miss Weatherlight's consent.
The Shining Goldman wants to meet the Queen of the Clear Sky.
Replied: Now is Miss Clear Sky's reading time, Miss Clear Sky doesn't like to be disturbed while reading.
Of course, the Shuojin man cannot be dismissed by this reason. Who knows if Qingkong is secretly dissecting Elder Chun's body. The Shuojin people once again strongly demanded to see the clear sky, and demanded that the museum return the body immediately.
Without Qingkong's order, no one in the museum dared to give Elder Chun's body to the Shuojin people. The anger between the two parties grew stronger, and the museum had to arrange for the visitors to leave, and patiently explained the reason for them.
The Elder of the Shuojin Man was assassinated and died!
Such explosive news, with the dispersal of museum visitors, spread in the city of Saint Lun at an extremely fast speed.
By the way, the body of Elder Shuojin Renchun has been found by Miss Qingkong, and it is now in Qingkong's museum.
"Qingkong found the body of the elder of the Shuojin people? She, how could she find it?"
"Chief Walker, this may be Qingkong's trick. She didn't find the body at all, but deliberately released the news to lead us to check. There are very strict defensive magic in the human palace. If they are prepared, we may fall into in her trap.
Archangel Gold is in the palace. "
"Chief Sisli, we have to verify, right? We can't go to the palace, we can go to Qingkong's museum to see if there is the body of the Shuojin elder.
We have gone in three times, and the elf didn't find us. "
