Chapter 1486 A Chicken Paw

"Good question, I also want to know who this person is." Fan Jiannan looked at the opposite window and said slowly.

"Boss, what are you doing looking over there?" Fatty Zhang frowned.

Fan Jiannan thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Fatty, do you know what the building opposite is for?"

"Isn't there a hotel?" Fatty Zhang looked at it. "It's the person who harmed them, who appeared there. It's been several days, and it's impossible for that person to still be there now."

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "People may leave. But it is impossible for that person to cast spells on the opposite side without leaving traces. Any slight fluctuation of magic power can have a certain impact on the surrounding environment. And this impact is short-term. It is difficult to eliminate within time. Let's go to the opposite side and have a look."

"Now?" Fatty Zhang frowned.

"Yes, right now." Fan Jiannan turned around and said to Feng Yuan, "Feng Yuan, you stay here to take care of me. Fatty Zhang and I will go out and be back soon."

Fatty Zhang said with a gloomy expression, "We two big men are going to the hotel to get a room at this time. It seems a bit wrong, right? Maybe people think we are in that kind of relationship."

"What's the matter? I'll go! You fat man, what are you thinking?" Fan Jiannan shook his head.

"Let me go with you." Feng Yuan shook his head and said, "Don't you know what this fat man is thinking? He just feels tired and doesn't want to run away."

Fatty Zhang said with a sneer, "What's the matter, I'm not being lazy. Didn't I see Zuo Xiang and Professor Long not being taken care of here?"

Fan Jiannan thought for a while and said, "Alright, then you stay. I will go with Feng Yuan."

"Hey, okay." Fatty Zhang nodded repeatedly.

Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan left the Tianji Pavilion and walked to the big hotel opposite.

Because it was at the opposite door, the reception lady at the service desk also knew this Master Fan.So I greeted them politely and asked them what was the matter.Fan Jiannan thought for a while and said, "What is the room number on the fifth floor of this hotel, facing the Tianji Pavilion? We want to rent that room?"

"Do you want to open a room?" The waitress was taken aback, and thought: Don't you live on the opposite side.But she still checked Fan Jiannan very politely.Then she smiled and said, "That's room 517. But there are still guests staying in that room, so it hasn't been vacated yet. Mr. Fan, see if you can change to another room."

"Oh, you mean that guest hasn't checked out yet?" Fan Jiannan frowned slightly. "Can you tell me when this room was rented out?"

The lady said with some embarrassment, "Mr. Fan, I'm sorry we can't disclose the customer's information."

Fan Jiannan smiled, "No problem. I'm just asking casually. In fact, I know if you don't tell me, because I can tell fortunetelling." He smiled and scratched a few times on the counter with his hand, frowned and thought about it, "This Room 517 was rented out five days ago, and the customer rented it for a week. The customer should be in his 30s, with fair skin, and wearing blue clothes. And now he is not in the room, and he has not come back since yesterday. Am I right?"

The lady at the front desk of the hotel was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses and nodded her head, "Mr. Fan, no no, Master Fan..."

Fan Jiannan smiled wryly, "It seems that I guessed it right. How about this, please let me know when this room is vacant. I want to rent that room for a day. I can pay a deposit in advance."

The lady at the service desk of the hotel was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly seemed to think of something, "Oh, that's right. This customer seems to have left something, saying that if a Mr. Fan came to inquire about him, he would take this Give something to that person. It’s just that I didn’t expect that it would be you. Mr. Fan, do you know that person?”

Fan Jiannan was slightly taken aback, "What else did he leave for me?"

"Yes, yes! He stored it here. Let me take a look, it should be a small package." The lady turned around and went in to look for it, took out a packaged box, and handed it to Fan Jiannan.He smiled and said, "I really guessed right, it's really reserved for you, and your name is written on it."

Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan were stunned for a while, and after receiving it, they saw it was a small exquisitely packaged box, and Mr. Fan Jiannan's advice was indeed written on the side.

Fan Jiannan could only nod his head and said, "Thank you, but please notify me when that room becomes available. This is my phone number." After speaking, he handed the business card to the lady at the service desk.

"What the hell is this man doing?" Feng Yuan turned around and whispered next to Fan Jiannan, "He seems to know that we will come to find him, and he left you a strange thing that I don't know what it is. Why is this so? Strange, this person doesn't want to take the opportunity to harm you, does he?"

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "No matter who this person is, he must have come from a bad place." He fiddled with the box in his hand, and said in a low voice, "I don't think there might be anything good in it."

"Then what do you want it for? Just throw it away and don't fall for other people's tricks." Feng Yuan said a little worriedly.

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "When did you ever see me being fooled? Can someone as smart as me be fooled by others? Let's go back and see what kind of medicine is sold in this person's gourd!"

The two returned to the Tianji Pavilion.When Fatty Zhang saw them coming back, he said in amazement, "You're back so soon?"

"We didn't get in at all, but we got something else." Fan Jiannan put the box in his hand on the table.

Fatty Zhang said inexplicably, "What is this?"

"We went to the opposite side and asked, and the room hadn't been checked out. So we couldn't get in. However, the person who rented the room left us something. Look at this, it says it's for Mine. It seems that this person is also a master. He seems to have guessed that we will go to him to settle accounts." Fan Jiannan fiddled with the box in his hand.

"This is a bit strange." Fatty Zhang backed away in surprise, "What will he leave for you? This guy is trying to do harm to others. Could it be that there are some dangerous items in it?"

"That shouldn't be the case, otherwise I would feel a bit of a warning sign in my heart." Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "I've always been very sensitive to danger. But I can't feel what's inside."

"Then you mean to take it apart and have a look?" Fatty Zhang thought for a while.

"Of course." Fan Jiannan unceremoniously tore off the wrapping paper and opened the carton, revealing the contents inside.The contents inside were dumped on the table, looking black, like dead branches, but not quite.

"This is..." Fatty Zhang said in amazement, "Chicken feet?"

Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan were also dumbfounded, this black thing was actually a chicken paw.And it seems that it has been a long time, and it has long been shriveled.

"This..." Feng Yuan looked at this weird chicken paw, not knowing what to say. "How could anyone make such a nasty joke?"

Fan Jiannan was silent for a while and smiled wryly, "This is not a bad joke."

"What's wrong?" Feng Yuan looked at him and said, "Teasing people with such dirty things, isn't that bad enough?"

"It's nasty, but it's not a joke." Fan Jiannan said slowly, "This is some kind of witchcraft-like provocation."

"Provocation?" Fatty Zhang frowned, "Provocation with a chicken paw?"

Fan Jiannan said indifferently, "There are many ancient and weird customs in this world. Just like most European knights wear white gloves, which means performing sacred official duties; take off the gloves and hold them in their hands, indicating chic leisure; and throw the gloves in front of the opponent , means a challenge and a duel; when the challenged knight picks up the glove, he declares a challenge. If he does not pick up the other party's glove, he will be considered as insulted and have no courage to resist, which is a cowardly act.

This act of giving chicken feet to the other party is a similar provocation, but it usually happens among wizards.According to existing book records, the famous witchcraft duel between Francisco and Garrincha in the Middle Ages started like this. "

"You mean the other party might be a European wizard?" Fatty Zhang said in surprise.

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "It's not a possibility, but a certainty. And this is a very old-fashioned European wizard."

"I don't understand why a European wizard suddenly challenged you? Aren't they all under the control of the European Federation of Witchcraft? Since the chief wizard Dracius disappeared, they have almost been in a mess. How is it possible Will such a witchcraft master suddenly come to provoke you?" Feng Yuan frowned.

Fan Jiannan smiled wryly and said, "I'm also baffled. I have never been on the right track with these European wizards. But they won't come to make trouble, right? After all, they are now in decline, so they dare to make trouble? Are they not afraid that the Yishu Council will continue to make trouble?" Trouble them?"

Feng Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Could this matter be related to the first director and the Yishu Council?"

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but I think this person's ability may not be inferior to that of the great wizard Dracius. It's really strange, when will such a great wizard appear in Europe, and he is still so young. According to my calculations, this person should not be older than 30 years old. Such a young master of witchcraft is really rare."

Feng Yuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it. Regardless of their messy things, the fat man went to throw this dirty chicken paw to me, it's so disgusting. I swear, I will never eat chicken paws again. "

Fatty Zhang responded, took the old chicken paw and threw it away.

Fan Jiannan sat there thinking.

"Jiannan, forget it, don't worry about it, those European wizards are nothing special. Let's just ignore them." Feng Yuan patted his arm and said. "Besides, we are not necessarily afraid of them. If he dares to come again, we will show him some strength."

"I'm afraid things won't be that simple." Fan Jiannan shook his head. "Who is this person and what is his purpose for doing this? We still don't know anything about it. And the weirdest thing is that the method he used to harm Zuo Xiang and Long Ge is obviously not like an ordinary witch. technique."

"I think so too." Feng Yuan whispered, "Do you think there are other powerful magicians in Europe besides the European Witchcraft Federation?"

"Isn't Zhang Jian and his Brotherhood of Brotherhood the same?" Fan Jiannan sneered.

Feng Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice, "So, you say this person, could he be a member of the Brotherhood of the Holy Chapter?"

"It's hard to say, we don't know anything yet." Fan Jiannan thought for a while, "It's better not to make wild guesses and mess up our own position. Although this person's witchcraft is weird, in my opinion, he will never be better than Zhang. Jian is smarter. After Zhang Jian was injured by his father last time, his strength has been greatly reduced, but even so, he is much smarter than this person."

Fatty Zhang nodded again and again, "These foreign devils have a lot of skills! Even Zhang Jian, didn't he inherit his magic skills from the westward magicians? Let alone the boss, even I am not afraid of them These two knives."

This "two knives" is a sarcastic remark.It is said that it originated from the masons who built the walls. People call the best masons "head knife", and the head knife is often built on the corner of the wall, called "baduozi".Those craftsmen who are not good enough and can barely make do are called "two knives".

Fan Jiannan pondered, "You don't understand, what I'm thinking about is not the European magician himself. It's what he did to Longge and Zuo Xiang, obviously not from European magic, but closer to ancient witchcraft."

"Ancient witchcraft?!" Feng Yuan said in surprise, "You mean it is similar to the ancient witchcraft of the Wu family? The one that comes from the witchcraft?"

Fan Jiannan nodded, "That's right. I don't know how that European witchcraft did it, and what techniques he used. But from the analysis of his behavior, it is very similar to something I know. These ancient witchcrafts, at least in some respects, are indeed very similar."

"How is it possible? Even the Wu family can't all master ancient witchcraft. Only a few old people from the Wu family know these ancient witchcraft, and all of them are unbelievably strong. Like the sixth and seventh uncles of the Wu family. I'm afraid there won't be many people in this world. European wizards? That's not a class at all." Feng Yuan shook his head and said, "Jiannan, are you overthinking it?"

Fan Jiannan smiled wryly and said, "I hope I overthink it. To be honest, I also think this is impossible. Forget it, let's not mention these. Fatty, Professor Long and Prime Minister Zuo, are they all right?"

"Oh, Professor Long seems to be fine for the time being, and Prime Minister Zuo was also fainted by you. Both of them are lying in the room to rest." Fatty Zhang said, "This damned foreign devil, if he dares to come again next time, I will I must have dealt with him. Let him see that my descendant of a celestial master is not easy to bully."

Fan Jiannan said calmly, "Okay, he is looking for me. Since he dared to send chicken feet to provoke him, it means that he will definitely come again. Since he attacked Long Ge and Prime Minister Zuo, I will not be too polite to him. Fatty , before Long Bold arrives, you and Feng Yuan will work hard first, and help me take care of them both."

Fatty Zhang nodded seriously and said, "Boss, what are you talking about? I and Prime Minister Zuo are also friends. Although I, Fatty Zhang, dare not say that I am doing things for my friends, I will still help with this little favor. How can I mention hard work?" word."
