After a moment of silence, Langton opened the parchment, and the next instructions were already written on it.
'Open the box, take out the crystal ball inside, and someone will tell you the whereabouts of Paola.'
Following the instructions on the parchment, Langton opened the magic-repelling alloy box, took out a special contact crystal ball from inside, and activated it.
The crystal ball flickered, and a picture suddenly emerged.
The opposite background is a dark secret room, and a mysterious man wearing a hood with no identifiable identity appears in the center of the picture.
"You're very fast. I thought it would take you at least half a day to get here at the fastest possible speed."
Looking at the cold-eyed Langton in front of the crystal ball, the figure spoke indifferently, with a strange hoarse tone, and his voice was obviously specially distorted.
"As you requested, I'm already here. Now tell me where Paola is?"
Holding back the anger in his heart, Langton took a step forward and asked in a deep voice.
"Paola? Haha..."
The figure smiled strangely.
"Give me that book and I'll tell you where she is. Don't play tricks, you know what I'm talking about."
"I promise you, but where can I exchange it with you?"
Langton nodded, agreed without hesitation, and tried to use a trick at the same time.
"You don't need to go anywhere, just put the book in the center of the stone platform. When I confirm that the book is authentic, I will naturally return Paola to you."
"Wait, I need to confirm her safety first!"
After the figure stated the terms of exchange, Langton suddenly rolled his eyes and asked to confirm Paola's status.
"Humph...of course."
The figure snapped his fingers, and the picture on one side of the crystal ball suddenly fluctuated, showing an image in a bedroom.
On the wooden four-poster bed in the center of the room, Princess Paola sat quietly on the bedside, seeming to be meditating hard.
"How do I know if you deliberately used a picture you recorded to deceive me?"
Seeing this picture, Langton raised questions again.
"Hmph, you still have the last two minutes to think about it. If you don't make a decision, she will be killed directly by my people."
However, the figure did not entangle with Langton, but sneered and issued an ultimatum.
"I promise you! Let Paola go now!"
As if he had completely surrendered, Langton reluctantly followed the figure's instructions, took out a yellow book from his arms, and placed it in the center of the stone platform.
Following his movements, a beam of light suddenly flashed across the stone platform.
But the next moment, nothing happened, and the book was still lying on the stone platform.
"Unfortunately, this book is somewhat special. It cannot be transported or placed in space items."
Looking at the suddenly silent figure in the crystal ball, Langton snorted coldly.
"interesting……"
On the other side of the crystal ball, the Altmer prince, whose identity was hidden, looked at the unresponsive book. He was a little surprised and at the same time, his heart became even hotter.
He did not doubt Langton's words. It was not surprising that a rare object of this level had some special features.
"Okay, take that book and come to see me at No. 12, Black Cross District, on the west side of the inner city of Black Feather King City. I will send a team of people to hand over to you. Give the book to them and they will take you there.
Location of Paola.”
After temporarily determining the transaction address, the Altmer prince immediately ended the contact unilaterally.
Then, he took off his disguise, returned to the castle hall, and immediately contacted a seventh-level demonized knight commander guarding the castle.
"Sir Morilis, please take my token and take a team of Royal Capital City guards to No. 12 in the Black Cross District. Then a person will go there with a pornographic book.
When you see him, immediately take away the book and arrest him and bring him to me. If he dares to resist arrest, then kill him on the spot! I suspect that person has colluded with overseas resistance organizations and intends to rebel!"
"Your will, Your Highness."
Morilis was a middle-aged man wearing heavy armor with silver magic patterns. After receiving the secret order from Prince Altmer, he nodded solemnly and immediately went to carry out the mission.
Watching the knight commander leave, a gloomy look appeared on Zi Ao Temo's face.
"Hmph...let me entertain you well, Mr. White Crow!"
.
….….
On the other side, after ending the communication, Langton did not follow the Altmer Prince's request and go to the handover location in the royal capital. Instead, he was in a daze holding the crystal ball in his hand.
"Found it! The opponent is not far from here. According to the map, it should be the Yinshazhiguang Manor near the Royal City, and the location of the little girl should also be there."
After a moment, a slightly tired voice suddenly sounded from his mental space.
"Thanks to you this time, Lord Darkcrow."
Langton thanked Dark Crow gratefully. Once again, Dark Crow helped him a lot.
In addition to helping Langton trace the other party's whereabouts, the book that had not been transported before was also written by Dark Crow.
It is true that the book cannot be placed into the space objects in his hand, but it does not actually have the ability to be teleported. The failure of the teleportation circle is entirely due to Dark Crow's secret action, interfering with the normal operation of the space fluctuation trajectory of the magic circle.
On the way to rescue people, Dark Crow and Langton considered various possible situations in advance. The enemy planned to use the teleportation circle to take away the book, which was also expected by them.
He just made a point of rambling to delay the contact time, also to allow Dark Crow to trace the opponent's location more accurately.
From the beginning, he did not intend to abide by the enemy's arrangements, but to save people in his own way.
Coincidentally, in order to capture Langton without fail, the Altmer transferred the strongest professionals guarding the Silver Veil Manor. Currently, only two sixth-level demonized knight deputy commanders are left responsible for guarding the manor.
.
Therefore, Prince Altmer, who originally planned to sit on the Diaoyutai and close the net remotely, was shocked to find that Langton, who was supposed to go to Black Feather King City, had sneaked into his manor at some point.
Moreover, the other party's concealment was extremely sophisticated. If he hadn't also had an inexplicable sense of the "Book of Yellow Clothes", he might not have noticed it if the other party touched Paola's room.
Realizing that he had been tricked, the angry prince issued an alarm and urgently recalled the knight captain who had arrived in the royal capital. At the same time, he asked two sixth-level magic pattern knights to lead their men to capture Langton immediately.
At the same time, he immediately went to Paola's room to make sure nothing went wrong.
So, after using their trump cards to quickly eliminate the manor's guards, Langton and the Altmer met in Paola's bedroom.
"As expected, it's you, Altmo Black Feather! You can even attack your sister without mercy! You have nowhere to run, let go of Paola now!"
Looking at Paola, who was shaking her head at him in horror, and the blond young man holding her hostage, Langton immediately confirmed his identity, pointed the sword edge with a deep black aura of power at the Altmer, and spoke with great anger.
.
"Run away? Why should I run away? I am just fulfilling the duty of an elder brother and preventing her from being deceived by the lowly common people who come from outside!"
With his left hand controlling Paola, who was restrained by his magic and unable to speak, the Altmo sneered, and the sharp crystal tip of the staff in his right hand was slightly close to the girl's fair neck.
"Now, I'll give you three seconds to throw that book over. One!"
"If you dare to hurt her, I will kill you!"
The phantom of the huge black beast appeared behind him, and Langton's energy locked tightly on the Altmer. The strong sense of crisis made the Altmer's heart sink.
