Chapter 1800 The Miraculous Kaorui Jing
The dwarf reflected in the mirror cut off his thick long hair skillfully, combed the short hair back with a comb, and combed out a rather handsome big back, and then jumped off the stone bench , ran to the water basin to take a picture, and was very satisfied with his new hairstyle.
Putting away the scissors, the dwarf returned to the stone bench, gathered the metal hairs piled up on the ground into a pile, clapped and danced around the hairs, and muttered words.
Joan observed his strange behavior through the mirror. He first frowned and wondered, and then noticed that the distribution of the magic net in the stone room was abnormally turbulent. Only then did he realize that the dwarf was performing some kind of mysterious enchanting ritual.
The metal hair strands piled up on the floor seem to be controlled by a pair of invisible hands, connecting and braiding by themselves. After just five minutes, the messy hair all over the floor becomes an iron rope with both the flexibility of hair strands and the strength of steel!
The dwarf stopped dancing, and finally clapped his hands again. The iron rope seemed to be infused with life, and it squirmed like a snake on the ground. slipknot.
The miraculous scene in front of him prompted Joan to think about it.
During his sojourn in Yunzhong City before, Qiao An had seen a similar description in a collection of old books, but it was a pity that there were no illustrations.
According to the records in that ancient book, there is a kind of earth subspecies goblin living in the underground world, named "Kao Rui Jing", who is born with the ability to cast spells, can freely shuttle through the soil and rocks, absorb the magic power contained in the earth, and He is a natural prospecting expert who can sense the smell of rare mineral deposits miles away.
The most amazing thing about Kaorui Jing is his hair. When the hair is cut off, the hair that leaves the body automatically turns into the same metal as the hair clipper. Kaorui usually cuts off a section of hair with iron scissors, and then uses a mysterious supernatural ability to weave the iron hair into a magical rope, which is equivalent to a permanent "activating rope".
The Cory can manipulate this magical rope at will, using it as a climbing tool, or binding enemies' weapons.
Comparing the records in the ancient books, Joan was convinced that this dwarf was the legendary Kaorui spirit.
Kaori and rock spirits are both goblin creatures living in the underground world, and they both have the blood of the "earth subspecies". They are proficient in prospecting and mining veins, and they are both good at earth magic.
Since the two have so much in common, Qiao An feels that it is normal for Kaoruijing and Rockjing to live in the same camp.
Now the question is, is this korui also involved in the crime of stealing rough crystals from the mine?
Kaorui Jing is much stronger than Yan Jing in terms of combat power and spellcasting ability, and his personality is also stronger and bolder than Yan Jing. Qiao An thinks that this guy is very likely to be involved in theft, and maybe he is the leader of a criminal gang !
Withdrawing her thoughts, Joan turned to consider a more practical question.
Do you want to tell Gray Bird and the others about the situation in the Yan Jing camp, and arrest the suspect now?
The large amount of coarse crystals hidden in the rock essence camp is strong evidence, enough to accuse the rock essence family of stealing the warehouse in the mining area, but it still cannot make Joan himself make the assertion of "hard evidence".
Maybe it's because of his almost obsessive-compulsive personality, or maybe it's the habit of writing papers. Qiao An always strives to be rigorous and meticulous in his actions, and never makes an assertion unless he is absolutely sure.
If Qiao An has done everything he can now and cannot conduct a more in-depth investigation, then he will also succumb to the reality, directly share the clues he has with Gray Bird and others, and assist them in raiding the Yan Jing camp, and arrest the 40 people suspected of the theft. A rock spirit and a Kaorui spirit were all arrested and interrogated.
In case it turns out afterwards that the rock spirits obtained the coarse crystals stored in the camp legally and wronged them, Joan is willing to apologize and admit his mistake. After all, he has tried his best and is worthy of Mr. Hodge who hired him to investigate the case.
However, this is not the case now.
Qiao An actually prepared a set of backup plans. He originally thought that if the bat swarm could not find the whereabouts of the stolen coarse crystals, he would use the relatively troublesome backup plan to investigate further.
Now that his first plan has been effective, is it necessary to implement a backup plan?
Qiao An is actually very afraid of trouble, and wants to save trouble, but as long as he thinks that there is still the possibility of wronging a good person, even if there is only a slight possibility, he feels uneasy, feels that he has not fulfilled his responsibility, and is ashamed of Gray Bird and Clay. Because of the trust of my brother and Mr. Hodge.
Thinking of this, Qiao An felt relieved, and decided to implement the backup plan, even if it is not absolutely necessary to solve the theft, it is good just for peace of mind.
After making up his mind, Joan put away the "perspective mirror" and closed his eyes to meditate, chanted the mantra silently, entered the cloud network trading platform, sorted and screened skillfully, found the shop named "Nikita's Magic House", and placed an order online , buy a 5-ring prophecy spell "Understand Legend" scroll.
This spell scroll was only put on the shelves three days ago. Just before today, Joan felt that the spell "Knowing the Legend" was not very practical, and he was not willing to spend money on it. However, since accepting Mr. Hodge's entrustment to investigate the theft, His views on "Knowing Legends" took a 180-degree turn, and he immediately transferred cloud assets worth 1,000 Gold Thaler (equivalent to 1,500 Gold Duga) to the shopkeeper to buy this spell scroll.
It was probably because Joan was too lazy to bargain, the payment was too straightforward, and the shopkeeper's actions were also very fast, and the spell scroll was sent over ten minutes later.
The "in-network express delivery" service provided by Yunwang to customers uses an improved version of "transmission technology", but the transmission is not a living person, but a parcel.
There was a wave of magic power in front of him, and a ball of golden light emerged out of thin air.
Joan raised his hand to touch the light ball, and the light shrank, and a slender scroll case fell into his palm.
Qiao An opened the scroll box, unfolded the spell scroll, and browsed through it. After confirming that there was no problem, he wrote back to the seller to sign for receipt through the cloud network trading platform, completing the last link of the transaction process.
"Is there a quiet room near the warehouse? I'm going to take a break and continue investigating tomorrow." Joan asked Garu.
"If Dr. Vader doesn't dislike it, you can rest in my dormitory."
Joan accepted Garu's kindness, and followed him to a row of stone houses, which is the dormitory for the warehouse security personnel.
Garu's room only had a simple table and chairs and a camp bed, and it was quite clean. After thanking Garu, Joan sat down at the table, took out a pen and spell book, unfolded the scroll, and buried himself in copying.
Jia Lu gently closed the door, and stood guard outside the house for Joan.
