"Can't you find any information?" Wan Chaoxin looked at the intelligence that had just been sent and said with a frown.
"I can't find it. According to your description, I've checked all the forces that may be able to produce magic equipment of that level, and I haven't found any yet." The woman wearing a peacock mask said.
"Didn't they find it in Space City and Baiye City?" Wan Chaoxin put down the information in his hand and looked at Peacock and asked.
"The agents who have been installed have been verified repeatedly. Their current research focus is on multi-core magic equipment. The initial investment is quite huge, and they have already achieved quite good results. They should not have the time, energy and funds to study other projects.
, Judging from the magic equipment you mentioned, it is possible to use extremely powerful magic equipment weapons without any physical connection. They have not yet developed this technology." Peacock replied.
"Where's the meeting?" Wan Chaoxin asked again.
"It's not easy to check within the meeting. The Magic Equipment Group and ours are in two different systems. Except for Vice President Bai, only the president of the Magic Equipment Group has the authority to retrieve their information." Peacock replied.
"What did Du Juan say?" Wan Chaoxin said thoughtfully.
"What Du Juan means is that the magic equipment group has a lot of research results, and he is not sure whether there is the magic equipment technology you mentioned." Peacock said.
"We can't be sure, but that means it's possible. Let Du Juan keep an eye on her and report back the news as soon as possible if there are any clues."
"Yes, I will go and convey your order to Du Juan." Peacock stood up and left Wan Chaoxin's office.
"Neither Space City nor White Night City can create this kind of magic costume, so it can only be the people in the magic costume team who are doing something wrong. Who is it that is causing trouble with me?" Wan Chaoxin frowned and thought.
In another room, Bai Ying and Li Qingyin were also troubled by the same problem.
"What did Uncle Bai say?" Li Qingyin asked, looking at Bai Ying who had just returned.
"My dad said it's impossible. No one has yet been able to create a magic weapon that does not require physical connection and can emit that level of magic light. It must be a magic weapon with super-soul energy. Currently, it can use super-soul energy.
There is only one energy magic equipment laboratory in the magic equipment group, and they have never made such magic equipment." Bai Ying took a breath before saying.
"That's strange. Even the magic costume team can't create that kind of magic costume. Where did that magic costume master come from? It couldn't have fallen from the sky, right?" Li Qingyin frowned.
"My dad said that you can try to get it from Space City or White Night City. If anyone can possibly develop such magic equipment, apart from the magic equipment group, there are only these two places. Other magic equipment
The manufacturing base simply does not have such R&D capabilities and levels." Bai Ying added quickly.
"Did Uncle Bai mention the City of Light?" Li Qingyin asked after thinking for a while.
"How did you know that my dad mentioned the City of Light?" Bai Ying was a little surprised.
"What did Uncle Bai say?" Li Qingyin did not answer Bai Ying and continued to ask.
"My dad said that the magic suit worn by Frostleaf Magic Costume Master should be modified based on the Ghost Faced Demon costume. The transformation level is quite good, and Frostleaf can use the Hand of God. It is likely that he was in Taro
As a person who wants to fight against God, he really wants to know what the final outcome will be when Shuangye fights against God." Bai Ying said.
"Is there a possibility that the magician who took away the super spiritual gem is also from the City of Light?" Li Qingyin said thoughtfully.
"It's impossible. My dad said that a shabby place like the City of Light can't make magic costumes like that. Even the modified Ghost-faced Demon costume, nine out of ten times, came from Space City Laboratory No. 1.
." Bai Ying curled her lips and said with some disdain.
She doesn't have a good impression of Li Xiu, nor does she have a good impression of the City of Light.
"That's right. To develop such a magical costume, there must be many technical problems that need to be solved. Without enough technology accumulation, we can't create such a magical costume. I really want to know who created such a magical costume.
." Li Qingyin sighed.
"That's not easy. Apart from the Magic Equipment Group, the only ones left are Space City and Baiye City. If you go to these two places, you should have an answer." Bai Ying said with a smile.
"It's not that simple. Guan Jinghao has never had a good relationship with us. You also know the situation in Baiye City. Even if we go there, we won't be able to get the answers we want." Li Qingyin shook his head.
Although she said these were the reasons, Li Qingyin always felt something was wrong deep down in her heart. For some reason, she always felt that the magic costume master might have some connection with the City of Light.
Li Qingyin herself felt that this possibility was extremely slim, but she couldn't help but have this thought.
"I remember that Chu Jun should be the son of the Lord of Baiye City, right?" Li Qingyin thought for a while and said.
"Yeah, I really don't understand what that guy is thinking. I heard that the Lord of Baiye City wanted Chu Jun to succeed the Lord of Baiye City, but he was unwilling to take over. He insisted on being a trialist and was blindly out there by himself.
No matter what, it is said that he is the big boss behind the City of Light, and that Li Xiu is just a nominal city lord, used by Chu Jun to cover up people's eyes." Bai Ying curled her lips, as if she was very disapproving.
"Let's go to Baiye City." Li Qingyin stood up and walked towards the door.
"Do you suspect that Bai Yecheng made that magic suit?" Bai Ying quickly followed.
"Maybe." Li Qingyin was not sure, but she always felt that it was related.
…
Accompanied by Chu Jun, Li Xiu hurried to Baiye City. After entering the Baiye City area, Chu Jun kept introducing Li Xiu to the local customs and customs.
White Night City's sphere of influence is no smaller than that of Space City. The entire Southern Cross Federation combined may not be as large as White Night City's sphere of influence.
It is a pity that with such a large sphere of influence in Baiye City, there are not many mines that produce gems, especially the five major colored treasure mines which are very scarce.
In the territory of Baiye City, there are very few things related to trialists. There are industries related to magic equipment everywhere.
Most of the toys held by children on the roadside are star-level magic dolls.
Magic costume experience stores and magic costume master talent test centers can be seen everywhere. Nowadays, the magic spirit competition is so popular, but in Baiye City, there is very little news about the magic spirit competition, and no one holds the magic spirit competition here.
.
This situation becomes more serious the closer you get to the main city of White Night City. You can occasionally see trialists in the Southern Cross Federation, but after walking here for so long, you haven't seen even a trialist.
"No need to look, the situation here is similar to that in Space City. Basically it is difficult to see any shops related to trialists. Except for the gem shop, there is almost nothing here related to trialists." Chu Ying sighed.
.
"Isn't this great? Such a huge market is waiting for us to develop." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"You want to promote the Demon Spirit Competition here? Then you should kill me first. If you really do that, the old man will kill me first." Chu Jun said quickly.
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe the old man also wants to hold a demon competition?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Absolutely impossible." Chu Jun said firmly.
"Let's talk about this later. Would you like to go home first or go to Good Luck Slope with me first?" They were almost arriving at the main city of Baiye City. Li Xiu looked at the place and found that Good Luck Slope was in the main city.
A few dozen miles to the south.
"I'd better go to Good Luck Slope with you first, lest you cause any trouble." Chu Jun paused and said depressedly: "To be honest, I'm really afraid of going home. I'll finish the magic with you."
After the spirit contest, the old man almost went crazy and scolded me on the phone. I have never seen him so angry with me since I was a child."
"Don't be afraid, I will accompany you to see the old man when you come back from Good Luck Slope," Li Xiu said.
"Let's talk about it then." Chu Jun thought to himself: "If you go, if I don't break your legs, it will be considered as your ancestors have accumulated great virtues."
When the two people arrived at Good Luck Slope, Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Li Xiu originally thought that Good Luck Slope should be a mountain, or at least a hill, but what he saw was that it was really a big slope.
The slope is covered with grass and various wild flowers. Although there are no tall trees, a few short trees are sparsely dotted among them, which gives it a unique charm.
Among the flowers and grass, you can see a large yard surrounded by a wooden wall from a distance. The yard walls are made of log piles, and the natural bark is used as decoration. In addition, the wooden wall is covered with good luck radish. If
If he hadn't known in advance how scary the people living here were, Li Xiu would have thought it was a tourist resort.
The two people walked along a cobblestone path on the grass slope and arrived at the gate of the yard.
Fortunately, the owner of this courtyard is not a real antique. Although this courtyard is built in a simple and natural way, with a feeling of harmony between man and nature, a doorbell is installed on the door, which does not maximize the natural wind.
After Li Xiu pressed the doorbell, the two people were waiting outside the door.
After a while, without hearing any movement in the yard, Li Xiu rang the doorbell for the second time.
In the end, no one came to open the door. Chu Jun said, "Could it be that the master is not at home?"
"Try again. If it doesn't work, let's go back." Li Xiu rang the doorbell again.
If the doorbell rings three times and no one comes to open the door, it probably means that the owner does not want to see him, and it is useless to stay any longer.
Li Xiu had already given up hope, but who knew that after the third doorbell, the door opened with a creak.
What's strange is that they didn't see anyone inside the gate, and they didn't hear footsteps before. The gate actually opened by itself.
"It's broad daylight, there won't be any ghosts, right?" Chu Jun said as he looked around the yard in surprise.
"Have you read too many supernatural novels? Where do ghosts come from in broad daylight? This should be a smart electric door." Li Xiu saw that there were no complex buildings such as pavilions and pavilions in the yard, nor were there any elegant fish ponds or rockeries.
Most of the large courtyard is still grass, with a few low trees dotted in between.
Because there is a row of bamboo planted directly opposite the gate. The row of bamboo is as green as jade, like a jade screen, and it is difficult to see clearly the wooden houses inside the bamboo.
"Sorry for the intrusion, is the master at home?" Li Xiu stood outside the door without going in, and raised his voice to the yard.
"The master is not here, but there is a guest here. I have tea here. If you don't mind, you can have a drink together." A man's voice came from the wooden house behind the bamboo.
"The master is not here, so we'd better not disturb you." Li Xiu said and turned around to leave.
Although he really wanted to go in and look for Sui Hou Zhu, there was no way in this world that the guest would pick up the guests on behalf of the master when the master was not at home.
This is a strange thing in itself, maybe there is something fishy in it.
Li Xiu and Chu Jun were just about to leave, but they heard the people inside continue to say: "The owner of this place may not come back every ten or eight years. I have lived here for decades. Speaking of which, I can be regarded as half the owner.
Since you have rang the doorbell three times, it means you must be here for something, you might as well tell me, maybe I can help you."
Li Xiu and Chu Jun looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"What happened today is really strange. The master comes back every ten or eight years, and a guest stays for decades. Who is the master and who is the guest?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
The people in the wooden house also smiled and said: "This is not a strange thing. Some people spend hundreds of thousands to marry a wife who he doesn't use. Isn't it the same as having someone do it for him? Some people have raised sons for decades, maybe they are also his wife.
My son, a house is nothing."
"That's right and reasonable. How do you call me your Excellency?" Li Xiu asked.
"When I was young, people used to call me Ba Ye. Now that I am old, I have become younger. Some people still call me Xiao Ba. The world is so wonderful. You can call me whatever you want." The man continued: "Speak like this.
It’s quite troublesome, but at least I’m half the master, and I still have the right to invite you in for a cup of tea.”
"Eighth Master, then we have to be more respectful than obey your orders." Li Xiu originally wanted to go in, but he has already reached this point, so naturally there is no reason to leave.
Li Xiu and Chu Jun entered the courtyard, walked around the bamboo screens, and saw three wooden houses behind them.
These three wooden houses are also interesting. The wooden house on the left is painted with red paint, the wooden house on the right is painted with blue paint, and the wooden house in the middle has no paint at all and has the original color of the wood.
The doors of the red wood house and the blue wood house are closed, but the door of the log house in the middle is open. There is a low wooden table inside the door. Next to it, a middle-aged man is sitting on the floor, eating there with a bowl of noodles.
With.
"There is tea in the teapot on the table, and the cup is in the cabinet next to it. Pour it yourself." Master Ba said while eating noodles.
Both Li Xiu and Chu Jun thought this eighth master was very interesting, but he had described himself as so old before, and when he saw him in real life, he looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, and he was not as old as they thought.
.
Li Xiu was not polite. He walked to the cabinet next to him and took out two bamboo teacups. He gave one to Chu Jun. He walked to the low table and sat on the floor. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Chu Jun and himself.
But Li Xiu didn't drink it, he just held it in his hand as if it were a hand warmer.
"Master Ba, how come you have been a guest here for so long?" Li Xiu asked, looking at Master Ba.
Although this eighth master is a little older, his appearance and temperament are still excellent. It can be seen that at this age, he must be a man who has fascinated countless women.
Even now, I'm afraid there are many young girls who like this kind of elegant uncle.
It's just that such an uncle was holding a bowl of noodles and slurping away at it, which lowered his temperament and image quite a bit.
"I really want to leave, but the host is too warm and insists on keeping me here as a guest. The hospitality is difficult, so I have to stay a little longer." Master Ba held the bowl, swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and then smiled.
He said.
"There are such hospitable people in this world who allow guests to stay in their homes for decades. What kind of family is this?" Chu Jun couldn't help but ask.
"You may not believe it, but the owner of this house is a beauty, and she is also a great beauty. I have seen some beautiful people before, but the women I have seen before, even the so-called stunning women, are here.
In front of the hostess of the house, she can only be regarded as a rouge fan. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that there could be such a beautiful woman in the world. Before I saw her, I always thought that she was like the one written in the poem.
Poems such as "Qingren City" and "Looking at the Qingren Country" are all about the poverty and obscenity of those literati. But after I met her, I realized that there is such a stunning beauty in the world."
"What do the city and the country mean? If you can win the favor of such a woman, it wouldn't be a big deal if you gave her the whole earth. I'm afraid I still have to worry that she won't accept it," said the Eighth Master.
Li Xiu thought to himself: "Send it to the earth? I'm really sorry you figured it out. Isn't this the ultimate licking dog? I can't tell that this handsome eighth master is actually a licking dog."
"It turns out that Mr. Ba is staying here because of the mistress here and forcing himself to be a guest. What kind of woman is it that can make Mr. Ba so fascinated?" Chu Jun became interested.
After listening to Chu Jun's words, Master Ba rolled his eyes and said, "The dog doesn't want to leave. No matter how beautiful a woman is, how can she compare to the vast sea and sky outside? If I could leave, I would have left long ago."
"As you said, the master is not at home and the door is not locked. If you really want to leave, who can hold you back?" Chu Jun said in disbelief.
"Forget it, let's not mention it." Myna picked up the noodles and took two more mouthfuls. After swallowing, he said again: "What are you two doing here? From the looks of you, you must be here for something, right?"
"We want to find something here." Li Xiu said.
"It's really strange to come here to look for something. What are you looking for?" Master Ba became interested, put the bowl on the table, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and asked.
"A bead, a bead that can glow at night." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Isn't that the bead you are talking about?" Master Ba raised his hand and pointed upward.
