The "Trade City of Crossbell" is in the midst of unprecedented prosperity. Anyone who comes to this city for the first time will think so.
Lisha Mao's first impression of this city with many high-rise buildings was "hustle and bustle". There is no such liveliness in any city in the Republic of Kalvard.
Although she has experienced extraordinary things at a young age, she actually grew up in her hometown in the countryside.
Since her father's death three years ago, she has inherited Yin's name and the Mao family business, and frequently travels between cities in the Kalvad Republic. By the way, her tribe does not know that Yin and the Mao family
relationship, and did not know that their clan leader had always inherited the identity of Yin.
This time, she came to this city after accepting Black Moon's employment. This is not the first time Yin has come to the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, but it is the first time Lisha has come. The person who came here last time was her great-grandfather.
, seventy years ago, three generations ago, Yin accepted the commission from the Republic and participated in the Crossbell Independence War that changed the international situation. For the locals of Kezhou, this is probably very far away.
It may have happened, but for Lisha, it was an event that her family had personally participated in. Therefore, she already had a deep understanding of Crossbell before she came there for the first time.
After using a secret technique to change her body shape and voice, she appeared at the agreed-upon location, the second-floor office of Black Moon Trading Company on the east side of the harbor area. Standing opposite her was Cao Li, a senior cadre of Black Moon, known as Bai Lanlong.
Cao didn't use secret techniques to hide his true identity like Lisha, so Lisha determined at a glance that although he was young, he was also a new master with profound skills. If there was a head-on confrontation, Lisha couldn't guarantee that she could
Definitely win over the opponent. With such outstanding talents sent here, you don’t need to guess to know that Black Moon’s plot against Crossbell is not small.
"In order for our company to enter the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, the elders really put a lot of thought into it. Thanks to the recent power of the Republic faction in the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, which has been somewhat defeated by the Imperial faction with strong capital support, they have to be humble to us... Ah,
Don’t worry too much about what you just said. Does Mr. Yin have a place to stay? If necessary, I can arrange a suite at the Millennium Hotel."
"It's not necessary. If you need anything, just record it on the talisman paper and let me know."
The cooperative relationship between Silver and Black Moon can even be traced back to the ancient Calvard Revolution. As one of the "employers" who still maintain contact so far, they communicate in an agreed-upon way. In addition to Mira, Black Moon must also
It takes a lot of money that cannot be bought with Mira to get Silver to sell it.
Lisha has never liked the matter of killing people. Although she has been accustomed to this "family mission" that has been passed down for more than ten generations over the years, her style is not to take other people's lives easily. In terms of accepting commissions
, she would never list people who have never killed anyone as her hunting targets. Yin is not a knight who punishes rape and eliminates evil, but none of the people who died under her hands were good.
This did not arouse anyone's doubts. Employers had always mistakenly believed that Yin was not interested in the weak and only liked to fight against the strong. Only she herself knew the reason.
"We at Black Moon invite Mr. Yin to come this time, and we need to warn two people. Within the scope of 'commercial competition', we must neutralize them without ruling out the possibility of fighting... One is the sales director of the Lubacher Chamber of Commerce.
'Garcia Rossi', and the other is 'Leonidas', the executive director of the Broken Wind Bird Chamber of Commerce."
"Isn't it a murder commission?"
"Well, it would be great if I could kill them if I had the chance. But they are both very troublesome people. It would be very difficult to defeat them, and it would be even more troublesome to kill them. This is the information about them two."
Cao handed the documents prepared in advance to Yin.
After reading the information, Lisha once again spoke in a disguised male voice,
"Behind them is the West Wind Brigade...whose names are full of warriors. If they provoke the hunter king Lujia Clausel, it will be a big trouble."
"Well, I also know that the price agreed before is not enough, right? I will discuss this with the elders and give better conditions." Cao continued.
"More than that. I will inspect Crossbell for a period of time before considering whether to accept your commission."
Cao didn't expect that the legendary demon would be so cautious. But he didn't say anything about it.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We will forward the latest information to you through the talisman."
After Yin nodded, his figure quickly faded and disappeared in front of Cao.
…………
Standing downstairs in the old apartment in the old city, the purple-haired girl nodded to confirm that the address given by the old lady was correct.
Lisha didn't choose this place because of the low price. She chose this place as her final destination because, compared to the entire Crossbell City, the household registration management here is not strict.
The old city area of more than one hundred square meters is considered to be a large area among the various residential areas in Crossbell City. There are more than a hundred buildings of various sizes here, and few of the buildings exceed three floors, and less than half of them are buildings.
There are old apartments that are more than 30 years old, and there are also many old warehouses that are still in use. The newly built storage area that expands to the southeast and is connected to the sports area is usually regarded as the site of the Broken Bird Chamber of Commerce. It is in a state where no strangers are allowed to enter, except for
In addition, there are also some bars or shops opened here.
After placing the gifts, Lisha went out for a walk on the streets of the old city to familiarize herself with the surrounding environment. She will live here for a while, and integrating into the local environment is also a very important part of her "work".
Lisha accidentally noticed a little girl with fiery red hair looking at her. Lisha paid a little attention and soon became aware of it. Judging from her appearance and age, her body must have been well-trained, right? Mostly since she was a child.
As a result of the training, Lisha could easily tell that it was the Kirin Kung Fu that she was practicing. It was the Dragon God Kung Fu. She didn’t expect to meet a descendant of the Master Style in a place like this. I heard Bai Lanlong talking about Cross before.
Bell's Guerrilla Association also has an Ukujiden from the Taito style, and this kid may have some relationship with that guy over there.
Lisha nodded politely to the other party, and the little guy ran away in a flash. Lisha had seen the master's style of shrinking several times in the Republic before, and this kid had already become very pure.
After asking the neighbors in the neighborhood, I found out that this child was the receptionist at the exchange shop Nainvali. Everyone usually took some unused old things to the exchange shop to exchange for money, so they were quite familiar with her.
But when asked about Taito-ryu, everyone seemed to have heard of it for the first time. Of course, they didn't know that the child was learning martial arts.
When Ling heard from Jingge that a new face had arrived in the old city, Ling roughly guessed who the person was based on her description.
"Does Xiao Jingge care about that big sister?"
"Probably because she has purple hair like her mother and master. Besides, I can't see through her strength. She looks like an ordinary person, but I always feel that there is a dissonance."
After a year of rigorous training under Ling, Jingge is actually pretty good. She may not be able to win against Waji and Abbas in the bar next door, but Varudo over there in the old warehouse definitely has no chance of winning against her.
It's just that she has never revealed that she knows martial arts in the old city of her hometown. The only people who know about her prowess are the wealthy audiences who often go to the underground arena.
But despite this, Jingge still couldn't see the depth of the elder sister she met for the first time.
"If it's that person, it wouldn't be surprising if Xiao Jingge couldn't see through it."
"Ah, is it the state of returning to nature that Master and Master once said?"
"It's hard to say, but I think it's probably not the case. In my opinion, the only people who have truly reached the state of returning to nature are the Saint and the Sword Immortal. The sister you met is probably related to the secret arts.
.When Joshua was still working as a guerrilla in Crossbell, you couldn't see through his strength, right?"
"Well, brother Joshua also gives people the impression that he is just an ordinary person. But sister Estelle is easy to distinguish."
Each martial arts school and magic school has a minor in cognitive ability/eyesight. Whether you are a warrior or a magician, it is necessary to know how strong your opponent is in battle. Wisdom Eye, Pure Eye, Heavenly Eye, Dragon Eye, Divine Eye...
...There are many mysterious things with secondary values of various kinds. At best, Ling only saw some records of names in the Hermit's Courtyard in the Kingdom of Shadows. As for the specifics, Ling is not very clear.
The best among various cognitive abilities is the Eye of View of the Eight Leaf Itto Style. Although the name sounds simple and unpretentious, the fashion value is one of the highest auxiliary skills (or one of them).
What Jingge learned from Ling was the Wangqi recorded in the scroll of the Master's Aoden Scroll. The scroll was the copy she got from Walut Loulan last spring. Ling only learned a little bit about Wangqi.
It was superficial, she just recited what was on the arcana scroll to Jingge and asked her to practice it herself.
There are other reasons why Ling can do similar things. She relies on her intelligence-oriented powers, her understanding of the principles of the body, her knowledge and color (suspected), and her instant spell intelligence analysis. The combination of these four is able to
Seeing through other people's lies.
The person in the Taito style who really understands Wangqi is the thin wolf Valut who serves as the family member, and Fudogene who serves as the family governor. He has practiced to the extent that he can tell the health condition of others at a glance.
The skill of looking at qi is not as precise as the eye of observation. The eye of observation can grasp the situation in detail. Even if you practice gazing to a high level, you can only see the glow outside other people's bodies.
According to the records on the Okuden scroll, Wangqi has three main functions.
One is to assist in medical treatment. You can judge a person's physical condition by looking at the light. Generally speaking, silvery people are healthy, gray people are sick, and the darker the color, the more serious the condition...
The second is that one can judge a person's functional skill by looking at the light. The stronger the function, the clearer the color of the glow. As the skill continues to increase, the color of the light will change, from low to high, it will be silvery white, red or orange.
Light yellow, golden yellow, green, blue, purple, and the legendary Mary Sue color (seven-color halo).
Third, by looking at the light, you can judge whether the geomagnetism, geoelectricity, and ground light of a certain place are suitable for practicing Qigong. If the light in a certain place is black mist, do not practice Qigong there. The Yin energy there is heavier. Some mountains appear black.
The light is located relatively high, and there are usually powerful monsters entrenched here, so you should avoid it.
To sum up, Jingge's cultivation is still shallow, and it is normal for him not to be able to see through the reality of that person.
"Leaving aside the intensity, just speaking from first impression, who does that person look like to you?" Ling asked.
Jing Ge thought for a moment, "Do you think she's not a bad person?" After speaking, she paused and said, "In addition, her breasts are also very big, which makes people a little envious."
Ling pretended not to see Jingge's gaze and ignored the second half of her sentence.
"Isn't he a bad person... Maybe she will frequent your store in the future. It wouldn't be a bad idea to chat with her about the strange things in the East if you have time. I have very little knowledge in this area. I have this opportunity.
Don't miss it." By the way, it also means gathering intelligence. Ling doesn't intend to alert others, so she just needs to keep Jingge's testing to a minimum.
"Yes, I understand." The young apprentice agreed immediately.
Ling was still very cautious about Yin's arrival. If it was a head-on battle, she was confident that she would never lose. But the Oriental Demon is an Assassin with a breath barrier. Not every assassin is Master Kong.
At least Sharon and Joshua don't have the kind of three-red and card-matching style. So it's better not to expect Yin to play the cards as they should.
After Jing Ge left the martial arts hall, Ling thought about the impact of the Eastern Demon's coming to Kezhou on the local situation. She decided to go to Mishulam's fortune telling shop and informed Luciola who was also from the East.
Although Luciola has no intention of returning to work at the Body-Eating Serpent for the time being, she did not refuse to meet with Ling when she went to Mishulam several times before. As for the secret technique used by Yin, she felt that this person in the past was
My sister in the association who has always been very kind to me might know some inside information about it.
