I practice cultivation cautiously in a strange world
Chapter 497 An unexpected invitation
It was already dawning at this moment, and under the rising sun, the whole city exuded an intoxicating brilliance.
People on this night are destined to have both joy and sorrow.
Some people reach the sky in one step, and some people are sad and depressed.
Chen Lin didn't know what the outcome of Princess Qinghua's soul-melting was, but after the day of welcoming the soul, the other party was about to leave for home, so he didn't delay. He first found the slave he had purchased, explained it, and left his identity. Tokens allow them to travel across the country.
In order to facilitate communication, he used contract means to control several magical users, who were responsible for managing the slaves, and compiled them every other year. If the information about Xuanwu Shield was found, he would send people to Soul Kingdom to find him, but he could not find it. If so, leave the information in the yard where he purchased it.
After finishing, return to Guanyi.
"I've met the princess!"
When Chen Lin entered the lobby of the hotel, he saw Princess Qinghua sitting on a chair with a gloomy expression, and all the attendants around her were silent, so he knew that the situation was not optimistic.
"You're back, so pack up and get ready to leave!"
Princess Qinghua didn't even ask where Chen Lin was, she just said hello and went straight to the backyard.
Chen Lin had nothing to deal with, so he took the opportunity to find a follower he often contacted and asked about the situation in a low voice.
Sure enough, Princess Qinghua's spirit fusion failed.
It can't be said that it was a failure, it just failed to achieve the expected results and failed to promote the soul to the level of Gintama.
Not only that, there were some changes in the spirit fusion this time, which resulted in the death of all the 'spirit guides' involved in the spirit fusion. No matter how noble Princess Qinghua was, she could not withstand the anger of these magical families and had to come up with A large amount of property to make up for the mistake.
The reason why the other party could still remain calm was because a very rare great magical power came out of his magical power box, which somewhat made up for the depression caused by the failure of the soul fusion.
Chen Lin suddenly realized, no wonder the other party was waiting for him here, and after seeing him, he spoke to him in a gentle tone.
However, he is not jealous either. Things given to you by others can be taken back at any time. It is still a solid gain from your own cultivation.
Although Princess Qinghua was in a bad mood, she represented the Soul Kingdom after all, and there were still some ceremonies when she left. Chen Lin did not attend, so he waited in the post.
Unexpectedly, someone came to his door and asked to see him.
"Who is it?"
After receiving the report from the Guanyi staff, Chen Lin looked very confused.
It can be said that he has no relatives or friends in this world. It is impossible for the few people he knows in Gufang Village to know his current identity and residence.
"Reporting to my lord, I am the boss of Wanbao Pavilion."
The person who reported the message was the gatekeeper of the Guanyi Station. He was in awe of Chen Lin's status as a "missionary member" and immediately answered respectfully.
Chen Lin's expression changed, then he nodded and walked out.
Wanbao Pavilion is the store that owns the Hanyue Sword fragment. The last time he went there, after he pointed out that he wanted to see the fragment, the clerk acted strangely, but he did not stop him at that time. Why did he come to the door again more than a month later? coming?
As for why the other party knew he was here, that's not surprising.
When he came out of the shop, he was stopped by Princess Qinghua, and after coming out of the restaurant, he came to the hotel with the people from the mission. His appearance did not change during the whole process. If you were interested in keeping an eye on him, you could easily identify him. 's whereabouts.
"You're looking for me?"
After walking out of the gate of the hotel, Chen Lin saw an old man standing at the bottom of the steps, shaking his head back and forth in his hand, as if he was in a hurry.
Seeing Chen Lin, the old man immediately stepped forward to greet him.
He lowered his head to a lower position and said: "Huang Yuanli, the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion, has met Mr. Lin. I wonder if you can lend me a moment to speak?"
Chen Lin glanced at the other party, straightened the head in the gold tray, and walked down the steps.
The two of them walked to a big willow tree in the distance. Chen Lin stopped and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
The old man didn't hesitate after hearing this, and reached out to take out a letter from the bag on his waist.
He respectfully handed it to Chen Lin and said: "This is the letter that my boss asked me to deliver to you. You will know it at a glance."
"Who is the proprietor of your family?"
Chen Lin did not pick him up, but asked in a deep voice.
The old man hesitated for a moment and then said: "My boss is Tan Shiyi, a famous forger from the Hand Country. He accidentally got a strange artifact a few months ago. I would like to invite you to go to the Hand Country to appreciate it together."
"oh?"
Chen Lin was confused and said in a calm tone: "Your boss and I have never met each other, and I am not a blacksmith. Why did you come all the way to find me?"
The old man hesitated again and said bravely: "To be honest, the fragment of the knife that your Excellency saw in the shop last time was sent by the proprietor of our shop. The purpose was to find someone who knew this thing. At that time, Your Majesty I just glanced at it, and the old man didn’t care after being informed by the clerk.”
Moistening his throat, he continued: "But later, the master secretly purchased slaves, and the person who controlled the supernatural power went all over the country to search for them. Therefore, the old man was sure that the master knew the fragment, so he sent this letter according to the owner's instructions. come over."
After hearing this, Chen Lin's voice turned cold and he said, "You are following me!"
The old man shook his head in his hand and explained: "It's not what you thought, this happened by coincidence. One of the supernatural beings controlled by you just went to our store to buy something, happened to see the fragment, and got very excited. Buy it."
At this point, the old man glanced at Chen Lin, swallowed and said, "I saw that this person was so enthusiastic about the fragments, so I used some means to learn that someone was secretly acquiring such items, and recorded the past records. After sifting through the identity information of the people who had paid attention to this fragment, I determined that it might be yours."
He immediately explained: "But don't worry, sir, my proprietor is just very curious about the refining method of the fragment and wants to study it. He has no ill intentions. Moreover, my proprietor also said when he left the fragment, As long as someone can solve the mystery for me, I am willing to reward him with a top-quality magical weapon."
Chen Lin was silent after listening.
According to his senses, the other party probably didn't lie.
It can only be said that the other party is really impeccable in his work. He actually used this method to deduce his identity. He is a talent.
You know, when he contacted those slaves and contracted magical powers, they all changed their appearance.
"okay, I get it."
Chen Lin took the letter without admitting or denying it, nor did he give the other party an accurate answer, and then returned directly to the hotel.
The shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion poked his head forward, wanting to say something, but after looking at the plaque on the pavilion, he finally did not dare to speak.
He couldn't afford to offend the Soul Kingdom's mission.
Not only could he not afford to offend him, but neither could his proprietor.
If this person hadn't left his shop and infiltrated the mission, he would have used extraordinary means to find out the inside story, so why wait until now.
After looking at it for a while, the shopkeeper turned and left.
If he can identify the person and hand over the letter to the other party, even if the mission is completed, even if there is no reward, he will not be punished.
Chen Lin returned to his room with the letter. After checking it carefully, he opened it and took out the letter paper inside.
It was also written in ancient Chinese characters, and the content was very simple, no different from what the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion said.
That is to say, the other party has obtained some strange knife fragments and is very interested in the refining method. If the person who receives the letter has research on this kind of fragments or is the original owner of the fragments, he can go to the capital of the country to find the other party.
If I can solve his doubts, I am willing to give him a generous reward.
After reading it, Chen Lin put away the letter and frowned in thought.
According to what the other party said in the letter, the fragments of the Hanyue Knife must be in the other party's hands, but I don't know how many pieces there are in total. If all nine pieces are there, they can be condensed and used again. If one piece is missing, it will become a waste.
However, since the other party has obtained the fragments of the Hanyue Sword, it is possible to obtain the Xuanwu Shield. If conditions permit, we should still take a look.
Of course, there is no rush now and we will wait until the trip to Soul Country is over.
As for whether this is some kind of conspiracy, as long as the soul refining pond is as useful as Princess Qinghua said, his soul power will definitely increase greatly. When the time comes, he and Xiaocao will not be able to be threatened by ordinary conspiracies. It's his turn.
As long as you're careful, there shouldn't be any big problems.
In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are a joke.
In addition, with the soft armor obtained from the old man's storage bag in the Shanhai Realm, Chen Lin's need for defense is no longer as urgent as before. Although the pseudo-lingbao is not as good as the spiritual treasure, it consumes less mana, which is just right for today's people. environment.
Therefore, he put aside the invitation letter temporarily.
After Princess Qinghua's farewell ceremony was completed, he entered the envoy team, then put his head into the package, and then revealed his head.
Except for Princess Qinghua and the maid, the other members of the mission seemed very surprised. However, these people's attitude towards Chen Lin improved a lot and they all regarded him as a native.
What surprised Chen Lin was that the way Princess Qinghua left was by flying.
An airship-like thing is used, and the energy source is a round crystal.
Seeing Chen Lin's curiosity, Princess Qinghua looked slightly surprised and said, "Why, Master Lin, haven't you seen this flying boat?"
Chen Lin shook his head and said half-seriously: "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it, and I haven't had the chance to ride on it."
Princess Qinghua gave Chen Lin a thoughtful look and said: "This is the work of Tan Shiyi, a famous master of the Hand Country. It is a work of art. It is the favorite flying instrument of various aristocratic families, but it consumes a lot of precious crystals." , not something that ordinary families can afford.”
Chen Lin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Too much talk leads to mistakes. The other party seems to have always been suspicious of him, so it's better not to ask too many questions.
This kind of common sense information, if you want to know it, you will know it gradually.
However, Tan Shiyi can actually make such a flying boat. He is indeed not an ordinary person. He may be able to help repair the Immortal Gourd. It is really necessary to meet this person for a while.
