Xing Mo took the photo and looked at it. A villa burning in the rain came into view. Guards in black robes were using metal tools to put out the fire, but the flames showed no sign of going out.
At the door of the villa, a corpse with no limbs was lying on the ground with empty eyes.
"This is a murder that occurred in Yanxia Danzhou four months ago," Mr. Cha said. "The victim was Lin Yu, a wealthy local Danzhou tycoon...or should I call him his personal warlord."
"Do you want me to find the murderer for you?" Xing Mo asked.
"No, the murderer's identity has been roughly identified." Mr. Cha took out another photo. "You should have some impression of him..."
Xing Mo took the second photo and was slightly startled when her eyes fell on it.
This photo was taken from the coast towards the cliff - as the ice-blue flames rose, a tall black figure stood at the door of the villa.
There are not many details in this photo, but Xingmo doesn't need details.
He has a tall body, black armor, and ice-blue flames.
There is no doubt that this is the messenger from the Court of Salvation, the Ancient Dragon Hunter.
"Ice dragon..." Alice murmured softly.
"He's almost a Dragon King!" Ruan Lili said, "Almost no one in the entire Danzhou can catch up with him!"
"Dragon King?" Xing Mo was confused.
"Yan Xia's power level against dragons, at the level of extraordinary source quality, is roughly between angels and demigods in your system," Mr. Tea explained. "Judging from his combat abilities, his rank is at least demigod, and some of his traits could even classify him as an angel—he's very close."
As expected, the strength of Gu Longshou should not be underestimated.
Xingmo recalled Winter County, where, on the ridge, the ancient dragon hunter easily killed the three-eyed giant who had reached the level of an unstable demigod.
It would be difficult to confront him head on...
"Our trade request is simple," Mr. Tea cleared his throat. "Resolve the chaos caused by the Ancient Dragon Hunt. Whether it's capturing it alive or killing it, we just want to see the chaos stop."
"Is there logistics?" Xingmo asked.
"Danzhou Prefecture will cover all of your expenses during your stay in Yanxia," Mr. Cha nodded, "including food, clothing, housing, transportation, weapons resources, potion materials, and ceremony venues. We will also provide limited military assistance when needed."
Hmm? Limited military support? Xingmo keenly noticed the blind spot.
Come to think of it...what did Renyantang do?
"Is there no one in Renyantang who cares about him?" Xing Mo asked.
"This matter is... rather delicate," Mr. Cha shook his head. "For the time being, you can understand that the current situation in Danzhou is being disrupted by some secretive organization, and we are unable to intervene in the short term."
"Besides...I believe the Court of Redemption will also be your priority target, correct?"
After Mr. Cha finished speaking, Xingmo fell into deep thought.
Hmm...it can be seen that the messenger from Renyantang came prepared.
They obviously knew some inside information about the Battle of the White Tower and knew that the forces led by Xing Mo were currently targeting the Court of Redemption.
So they took out their reward: everything about the Haishang Yun.
From many perspectives, this transaction is indeed a good deal: even if Xing Mo does not go to Yan Xia for the matter of Ancient Dragon Hunting, he will definitely go to Yan Xia for the matter of Yue Chen.
What is the ultimate secret that Yuechen mentioned?
What was Yuechen's purpose in going to Yanxia? If it was to control the complete String of Truth, then Xingmo obviously needed to stop him.
In short, when this range of motivations comes together, rejection makes no sense.
Xingmo nodded to Mr. Cha and said:
"I need to think about it. Can you give me a contact method?"
"We will be staying in this teahouse during this period. If Miss Shikoti wants to find us, just send a message directly." Mr. Tea smiled.
"Okay, I understand."
After Xingmo finished speaking, she stood up and left the teahouse private room with Alice.
After walking out of the teahouse, Xingmo turned around and looked at her senior.
As expected, Alice was looking worried.
"Are you very concerned about that ice dragon?" Xing Mo asked in a low voice.
"That's right..." Alice nodded. "That ice dragon... seems to have some relationship with Vivian. It might even be... her relative."
"That's an ancient dragon, a blood debt to the Court of Redemption," Xingmo whispered, "but if he's related to Senior Vivian, I think... maybe we should investigate."
"Looks like I'll have to trouble someone else with the Xinghai Church's affairs," Alice sighed with a smile. "This little dragon girl...if she knew about this, she'd definitely yell and rush over to Yan Xia. It's really a worry..."
"Do you want to tell Senior Vivian now?" Xing Mo asked.
"No, wait until later."
Alice looked up and watched the sunset fade away in the sky, and watched the endless darkness roll across the sea of clouds, and golden stars light up.
"Let's have a good rest tonight."
Chapter 377 July (Part 7) -4k- (Two updates in one)
The little farce did not disturb the girls' desire to relax.
Of course, the main reason is that I am really tired.
As night falls, camping sheets are spread out on the bustling beach.
People gathered on the beach, some were barbecuing, some were resting in the moonlight, and some were playing in the water.
"Come on, come on, sorry for the wait."
Xingmo turned around and saw Miriam and
Aurora was coming over with bags of food, panting.
"Why are you so late? Are you in trouble?" Xing Mo asked.
"No, no, I went to Senior Alice's house in advance to drop off some things," Miriam fanned herself with her hands, "Xiaomo, come and give me a hand."
Xing Mo then stepped forward to help, and with the efforts of the three of them, the exquisite barbecue grill was set up.
"So new?" Xing Mo stuck out her tongue.
"I made it myself in the workshop. Isn't it good?" Miriam blinked.
"Awesome~"
Xingmo looked at Aurora and found that the little girl seemed to be worried about something.
"What flavor do you want?" she asked.
"Hmm?" Aurora responded. "It's all right."
"Aren't you going to be picky? You usually make a lot of requests?"
“Not picky, not fussy.”
Aurora smiled softly, waved, and ran off into the distance.
"A friend is calling us, let's go check it out first!"
Xingmo looked into the distance. On the beach under the night sky, a giant ice-blue dragon was lying in the shallow sea, and two girls were feeding him - that was Erum.
And in the distant sea, a tiny horn broke through the sea surface and quietly looked towards the shallows - it was the storm narwhal Bai Ling.
The appearance of these two extraordinary creatures obviously attracted the attention of everyone on the beach. People looked at the dragon with curiosity and fear, and from time to time they worried that the narwhal in the distant sea would drown this beautiful night with rain.
Fantastic Beasts and Creatures.
Xingmo smiled faintly, turned to look at Miriam, and found that she was also distracted.
"Milliam?" Xingmo called softly.
"Ah, it's okay!" Miriam turned around with a smile and touched the back of her head. "It's just... hehe... I haven't experienced this kind of atmosphere in a long time..."
The beach, the peace, the quiet of the night.
For some, it's just a normal part of life, but for others, it's a cherished memory they covet.
"How does this body feel?" Xing Mo asked cautiously.
"It's completely indistinguishable from my original body," Miriam touched her face. "Permeated by such a high level of transcendental essence, the living gold can be said to have been completely transformed into the appearance of flesh. Sometimes I feel as if I've never left, and everything is just a nightmare."
"The nightmare is over," Xingmo smiled, "Look, the night is peaceful."
She gently grasped Miriam's hand, holding it tightly, feeling the warmth of her palm.
Miriam returned the grip with the same force.
"Okay...be careful your girl won't get jealous." Miriam stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.
"Aurora isn't the kind of person who's unreasonable. She can clearly distinguish between love and friendship," Xingmo let go of her hand. "But you, how did you manage to make her so obedient? For a moment I thought you were going to snatch her away from me."
"Oh, you'll find out later," Miriam blinked, "keep it a little suspense."
"What suspense... Stop it, stop it..."
"Just make a fuss~"
"puff..."
They both laughed at the same time, very happily.
How long was it since we last laughed together like this?
"Zizzizi..."
Soon, Xingmo used the fire string to make a fire, and Miriam also neatly placed the barbecue skewers on the grill.
Xingmo quickly prepared the sauce and began to brush it on the barbecue. The strong aroma of meat and barbecue sauce filled the air.
At this moment, the group of people on the beach also came back. Erum flapped his wings and flew towards the open sea, while the narwhal swam around near the coast, as if he was not afraid of being stranded at all.
“Meat, meat, meat, meat!” Vivian came running over, “Meat, meat, meat, meat!”
"Huh? You don't understand dragon language." Miriam looked at the little dragon girl with shining eyes and smiled.
"She means she's a dragon," Alice said, pulling at Vivian's skirt to prevent her from flying over. "Xiaomo, can I eat now?"
"The ones over there are all ready to eat," Xing Mo pointed, "the ones over here will have to wait."
At this moment, Xingmo was placing the prepared garlic sauce neatly on the grilled oysters, and the sizzling aroma of garlic filled the air.
Vivian couldn't wait to grab a skewer of barbecue and devour it with a crunch, like a dragon.
"Xiaomo has the superpower of making people happy," Vivian was deeply moved. "Why does everything she cooks taste so good..."
"I helped too!" Miriam raised her hand.
"That's just the beginning!" Aurora put her hands on her hips. "This is just a small display of our little saint's skills!"
"Eat now," Xingmo wiped the sweat off his face. "Come, Aurora, help me bring it to the small table over there."
A small low table was placed on the red floor, and soon the table was filled with all kinds of delicious food.
After working for a long time, Xingmo finally sat down at the table and stretched.
"Come here, here we have sweet iced tea, iced watermelon juice, and iced beer." Miriam came over holding a small box.
"Wine?" Vivian was startled and turned to look at Alice. "Alice?"
"You can have a drink today." Alice smiled.
"Okay~"
Vivian pulled out two bottles of ice-cold beer, pried them open easily with her teeth, and handed one to Aurora.
"Give it to us?" Aurora was stunned.
"Let's drink a bottle together!" Vivian declared arrogantly, "As... um... not-so-human allies!"
No... not the same person
Alliance...Xingmo almost spit out the sweet ice tea in her mouth.
Vivian is quite imaginative...
"Tsk, of course I'm not human," Aurora took the beer bottle and stuck out her tongue, "I'm a god!"
The two of them finished a glass and immediately started drinking it down with big gulps.
This little guy's drinking ability is actually pretty average...
