Chapter 174 Kidnapping (Please Subscribe~)

'Devil May Cry: A magical item made by Emperor Roselle himself, corresponding to the 'sun' path, with the ability to purify the dead and strike evil spirits and resentful souls. The specific abilities are 'sacred light', 'making holy water' and 'sun halo'. '

‘Sacred Light: Summon a divine beam of light that descends from midair and surrounds it with golden flames. Restrains undead and filthy types, and has a huge bonus to their damage. It can also make the holy light attach to the knife body, which can last for a period of time. '

'Make holy water: put the blade in the water for about five seconds, and you can make holy water, which can drive away evil spirits, drive away cold, and purify resentful souls. '

'Sun Halo: For companions within 20 meters, including yourself, it can effectively improve inner courage and purify the evil power in the body. '

‘As a magical item, it inevitably has some negative effects. Its main impact is that you will feel hot when you often carry it. This is mental heat, which cannot be cooled physically. It can only be isolated for a period of time before it disappears. In addition, pay attention when using it during the day, especially at noon. If you use it for more than half an hour at this time, you will involuntarily praise the sun. At this time, pious belief will make you forget the events in front of you, which may bring fatal danger. '

After the summoning was over, when the 'Book of Mysteries' disappeared, the scene in the room returned to its original color.

Cifer breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the Taidao with a pure white scabbard in his hand, recalling what he had identified just now. "Devil May Cry" has three abilities. The holy light can be directly hit, or it can be attached to the knife to continuously cause damage to undead creatures; the production of holy water can be used as an aid, and some traps for evil spirits and wraiths can be arranged; the sun halo has The ability to purify evil forces can effectively weaken undead creatures or Extraordinary people like resentful souls, and it can also assist companions, which is very comprehensive.

In general, the collection value plus these three abilities, 2100 pounds is not a loss.

As for the negative effects, it is not particularly serious. As long as you don't carry it often, you won't feel mentally hot. As for using this item at noon, once the time limit is exceeded, you can't help but praise the sun. This negative effect is more troublesome, but at noon, there should be no need to face undead creatures.

After thinking about it, Xifa decided not to strengthen this item for the time being, and at the same time, not to make a seal.

Cromwell left early the next day. The arbitrator got the magic potion formula of the 'Magistrate' last night, so he should have gone to inquire about the materials.

Xifa didn't go out, had breakfast, drank tea and read the newspaper in the house and basked in the sun.

Yes.

sun.

Backlund rarely saw the sun today. At least during the few days when Xifa arrived, the city would be shrouded in fog even during the day.

This reminded Xifa of another city he knew well, London.

Around noon, Cromwell came back with a serious expression on his face.

"Why, didn't you find the material?" Xifa asked casually. He knew that Extraordinary materials were not easy to find, but since they were only Sequence 8, and in a bustling city like Backlund, it shouldn't be difficult to collect them.

Maybe it's a matter of money, Sifa thought.

Unexpectedly, Cromwell shook his head and said: "No, someone said that he has the eyes of the fear bug and the right palm of the silver-white war bear that I need. He even said that he can give it to me."

Xifa narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said with a smile: "There is no free lunch in the world, I guess, the other party proposed other conditions?"

Cromwell nodded and said, "Do you know MI9?"

MI9?

Backlund also has MI9?

Xifa said calmly: "It sounds like an intelligence department?"

Cromwell himself sat down on a single sofa: "Yes, the person who is willing to give me the materials is the person from MI9. They hold the arbitrator channel, and that person invited me to work for MI9 .”

"He wants you to join MI9?"

"No, he said that I can serve MI9 as an outsider, and I can accumulate meritorious service and exchange it for potion formulas and materials."

Cromwell showed a thoughtful expression: "Before Sequence 6, it shouldn't be a big problem. But if you want to obtain the formula of Sequence 5 or even above, you probably have to join MI9."

"Even so, if I say yes, there will be some oversight."

Xifa spread his hands and said: "But at least, you don't have to worry about promotion in the future, you just need to do the work they assigned."

"I have to think about it."

Cromwell raised his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's getting late, I'll treat you to dinner. Then, let's visit that 'lawyer'."

"I like this idea." Xifa got up and said, "However, I should treat you. After all, whether I can find investment opportunities depends on you."

The arbitrator did not shirk, so the two went out for dinner.

afternoon.

Backlund Bridge area, No. 29 Qiangwei Street.

Cifer followed behind Cromwell, looking at a two-story building ahead.

"Lynn lives here, um, Lynn Beard, that's the lawyer I told you about." Cromwell walked forward with ease.

Xifa said later: "I thought we would go to an office, or a company or something."

"Today is Friday. Normally, on Friday, Lynn would only go to the office in the morning, and he would be off in the afternoon." Cromwell said with a smile back, "He is a guy who loves to enjoy himself."

Xifa said sincerely, "I envy him."

Standing in front of the door, Cromwell rang the rattle, but after ringing several times, no one opened the door.

Xifa spread his hands and said, "It seems that Mr. Lynn is not at home?"

The arbitrator frowned: "Impossible, he has the habit of taking a nap. On Fridays, he usually sleeps until three o'clock, then goes fishing, and then returns home at night."

"I'm ready to be complained by him."

Cromwell called out: "Lynn, are you home? It's me."

After still not answering, the arbitrator shrugged his shoulders, squatted down, lifted the carpet in front of the door, picked up a wooden board in the corridor, and reached in.

When he took out his hand again, Cromwell already had an extra key in his hand.

He opened the door, and Sifer saw Cromwell's body pause, then rushed into the room with lightning.

problem occurs?

Xifa followed immediately, and took out the 'Praise of Blood'. When he entered the room, he saw that the living room was in a mess, as if someone had broken into the room and robbed it.

Cromwell rushed up to the second floor, and Sifa followed him to the bedroom, where there were obvious signs of fighting.

The quilt on the bed fell to the floor, the lamp fell over, a cup was smashed to pieces, and blood was still in the corner of the wall.

The arbitrator snorted, "Damn it, he seems to have been forcibly kidnapped."

Without further ado, Xifa took out the "Seer's Coin" and whispered, "Lynn Beard has been killed."

He tossed the coin and watched it flip over and over in mid-air until the number ended up.

Xifa breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Cromwell: "He is still alive, but I don't know when he will die."

The arbitrator said calmly: "I'll go visit the neighbors around, maybe they can provide some clues."
