When Li Xiang arrived at Portobello Street, he finally understood why there was no need for a secret code.
Because the members of the choir are his old acquaintances, Astarte.
She was wearing a red coat, the top was a minimalist dark knitted sweater, and the bottom was a hip-covering short skirt made of the same color cotton material.
The straight boots are knee-length, revealing her fair thighs.
The whole person exudes a casual and generous temperament.
It's not like dressing up for a mission, but more like dressing up for shopping.
When Astadi saw him, he smiled and waved to him.
Li Xiang was slightly startled.
It's a rare smile.
He walked to the other side of the street through the sidewalk and said, "I didn't expect to go on a mission with my senior sister."
"There will be more things you didn't expect in the future."
Astati blinked and said, "For example, the next thing is shopping."
"shop?"
Li Xiang looked at her in astonishment and asked, "Aren't we looking for dead disciples?"
"Yes, but most of the Dead Apostles are afraid of the sun, so they generally don't go out for activities during the day. It's difficult to find them."
Astarte squinted his eyes and said, "It's three o'clock now, and there are still four hours left. We can go shopping around. What? You don't want to?"
"Of course not."
Li Xiang shook his head decisively.
No matter what, going shopping with a beautiful girl is what a gentleman should do.
"Portobello Street is the largest gemstone center in London, with all kinds of gemstones."
When Astadi mentioned the gems, his eyes sparkled, as if they were two beautiful gems.
Gem?
Li Xiang suddenly realized.
No wonder her senior sister wanted to go shopping, but it turned out to be to buy gems.
I have to say that gem magic is quite expensive.
"The gems sold outside are all ordinary gems. Let's go to a place specially prepared for magicians."
Astarte led him into a building called the Kingdom of Gemstones.
After showing off, they went up to the seventh floor.
All you can see are bright gems.
"The gems here naturally contain good magic power. When used to perform gem magic, the power is far more powerful than ordinary gems."
Astati introduced as he walked, "In addition to gems, there are also processed amulets and other magic gifts."
There are many types of magic, most of which are formal magic recognized by the Magic Association, but some are not recognized.
Such as spells, black magic, etc.
They tend to be used in evil ways, and their purpose is to harm or kill people rather than get to the root cause.
Amulets exist to counteract their effects.
Well, many mystery enthusiasts also like to use it to cheat money.
As for the effect, sincerity will lead to success.
Astarte started a shopping spree.
Li Xiang followed her and kept sighing that if you have money, you can really do whatever you want.
At five o'clock, Astarte finished shopping.
"for you."
She took out a string of obsidian bracelets and said, "This is my reward for going shopping with me."
"..."
Li Xiang waved his hand and said, "You don't need much reward for this little thing."
Astarte grabbed his wrist in time and put it on him immediately. The size was just right.
"Let's go, let's go eat."
She smiled, obviously very satisfied.
Li Xiang glanced at the bracelet and said, "Forget it, I can't refuse the rich woman's kindness."
Dinner was unexpectedly a burger.
Astati bought two portions at a burger restaurant, and then took Li up to the rooftop.
"I have a friend who really likes burgers, and I don't know why."
She took a bite of the burger and said.
Li Xiang smiled, remembering that Artoria was not the genuine King of Knights, but the fallen Heidi.
She also likes to eat burgers.
"Maybe it's because burgers are junk food and taste like dark food."
Li Xiang explained.
Heidai probably had this idea, but he didn't know what her friend was thinking.
Astarte fell into deep thought after hearing this, and smiled after a moment: "That makes sense."
The burger was eaten quickly.
The sun sets in the west.
Night is coming.
"There are nine levels of vampires. The one who broke into London is only the fourth level, the night type."
Astarte got down to business, "The Night genus retains their personality in life and has body functions that are beyond human beings. They are theoretically immortal, but they are still half-baked vampires with average strength and can feel cold and thirsty at the same time.
.”
"Since he is sane, why would he appear in London? Don't you know that London is the headquarters of the Magic Association?"
Li Xiang's thoughts turned quickly and he immediately raised his blind spot.
"Vampires have a strict hierarchy. High-level vampires have absolute control. The Chorus speculates that he may have accepted orders from his superiors. The specific details will only be known if he is caught."
Astati said and took out a diamond.
Driven by the magic power, the diamond rotated in her hand, and invisible ripples spread out.
"Follow me."
Astarte jumped straight down.
The falling wind blew her long hair.
"He's quite handsome, but I'm not a red guy."
Li Xiang thought of a classic scene in animation.
Tosaka Rin jumped off the building, and Red A caught her in time.
He opened the magic circuit, translucent air waves floated under his feet, and he immediately jumped down.
When approaching the ground, turn around and land firmly.
Astarte threw an emerald into the sky.
Enclosed by a barrier.
Li Xiang suddenly noticed the pedestrians on the road and turned a blind eye to them as if they were caught in a smoke bomb.
He immediately sped up.
Astarte turns into an alley.
A vampire no different from a human appears.
My skin is even paler, as if it has never been exposed to sunlight.
Astati's legs were slightly bent, her upper body lowered, and she suddenly turned into a black shadow and disappeared from Li Xiang's sight.
The next moment, the vampire's body froze, flew up, and hit the ground heavily.
But he did not die.
Li Xiang took out his pistol, aimed at his eyebrow and shot a bullet.
A whooshing sound.
Bullets flew through the alley.
The vampire's mouth curled up slightly, he grabbed the bullet and threw it out with his backhand.
Li Xiang raised his eyebrows.
Compared with magicians, vampires obviously pay more attention to physical fitness.
Astarte threw a ruby to intercept the bullet, and immediately crushed a sapphire, and a faint light floated on the surface of her body.
She kicked off her feet, jumped up from the ground, and punched the vampire with her right hand.
The huge force caused the vampire to be thrown up again and hit the wall of the alleyway, denting a human shape.
Li Xiang saw the scene of the Astarte battle for the first time.
It was completely different from what he imagined.
This is simply not how a magician plays.
After the vampire stood up, before he had time to react, Astarte grabbed his wrist, raised his knee, and hit his lower abdomen hard.
There was a sound that sounded like a bone was breaking.
A vampire has an immortal body, and ordinary blows will definitely not harm his life.
But he is not invulnerable, and those who deserve to be injured still need to be injured.
Under Astarte's series of attacks, the vampire was completely unable to resist.
In the end, he fell to the ground paralyzed as if he had lost all his strength.
Li Xiang took a breath of air.
Violent.
It would be better not to provoke his senior sister in the future.
"I've got him."
Astarte took out his cell phone and made a call.
After a while, a young man in a suit arrived. He glanced at Li Xiang, took out a sword and pointed it at the vampire.
Holy light enveloped him.
The vampire screamed and finally passed out.
Li Xiang inexplicably felt that he was miserable.
"I'll leave the interrogation to you."
Astarte waved his hand and said.
The young man took away the vampire.
Li Xiang was finally over this unexpected encounter.
The next day, he received 10,000 pounds from Hisashi Hanano as a reward for this mission.
Rich and wealthy.
Only Li Xiang knew that he could earn 10,000 pounds by running errands for nothing, so he was willing to run every day.
But such good things are hard to come by.
After returning to normal life, Li Xiang's lucky ex worked and he actually discovered the location of the lake.
Saw it in a book called Traveling in Wales.
The lake is called Bala Lake.
But there is no small town.
Li Xiang guessed that the town might no longer exist due to the vicissitudes of life.
Anyway, he planned to take a look.
On Saturday, Li Xiang took a plane to Snowdonia National Park in Wales.
Snowdonia is an endless snow-capped mountain with a wide range.
In comparison, Bala Lake is like a blue eye.
Li Xiang carried the crystallized flowers that looked like cherry blossoms to the lakeside.
But nothing happened.
He stayed for a few seconds, unaware of the next steps.
Li Xiang thought for a while, maybe the time was wrong.
According to the normal routine, he should find a ruins.
At night, the cool moonlight falls on the lake, as if shrouded in a veil.
Li Xiang suddenly noticed that the flowers in the glass bottle in his hand were melting.
The pink light spots spread as if they were conscious, eventually carving an extremely complex pattern on the lake surface.
A beautiful eye.
Not human eyes, but goblin eyes.
A lake-green light shines through.
Li Xiang had never seen a goblin, but he didn't know why he had such a knowledge in his heart.
"So you want to go into the water?"
He waited for a while, and the pattern floated on the lake without any change.
Li Xiang first saved himself a file, and then jumped straight into the water.
Because it was night, the temperature in the lake was quite low.
But fortunately, his physique is pretty good, so this problem is not a big deal.
Li Xiang swam to the center of his eyes, and suddenly the entire lake began to stir.
He was slightly startled.
Immediately, his body began to sink, and the lake water covered his head.
Logically speaking, it should be extremely uncomfortable, but Li Xiang didn't feel anything wrong, as if he had become a mermaid.
After a while, Li Xiang landed on his feet.
A bottomless tunnel appeared in front of him.
[You have been blessed by the fairies of the lake, your body has changed, and new talents have been generated.]
[Lake Protection (Level A): You will become a water fairy and will not be harmed by any water-related magic, ninjutsu, etc.]
