ALL NOVEL Chapter 391 Trust
"Letunia's second-generation pure-blood mage, Hughley Leitunia, is 2780 years old this year, with a blood concentration of 44%. She is now a visiting professor of bioalchemy at a school in Silvermoon City. In addition to attending classes, Outside of school, she spends the rest of her time on the round island, studying the animals on the island.
"Sinfiya's third-generation pure-blood mage, Bonnie Simfiya, is 2340 years old this year, with a blood concentration of 47%. She is Simfiya's assistant and manages alchemy rooms and other assets in various places for Simfiya. The two only meet once every three months.
"The fifth-generation pure-blood mage of Crestor, Reyna Crestor, is 1,100 years old this year and has a blood concentration of 56%, which is comparable to the second-generation pure-blood mage in her heyday. She is performing another top-secret mission. , together with the plane exploration team of tower scholars, we are looking for the plane entrance to the [Land of Rest]."
Rexall pulled a straight branch from the bushes outside the wooden house. Using this wooden stick as a temporary command post, he pointed at the small red flag on the portrait and introduced the targets selected by the three of them one by one:
"Xu Li, Bonnie, and Reina, these three pure-blood mages meet our screening criteria. The target of the cloaked man may be among the three of them, or he may not be there. We have to consider the situation of [refining blood] as well. Get in."
[Refining Blood Veins] is a method of synthesizing artificial blood vessels.
It has two processes: purification and condensation.
Purification process: Take a blood vessel with a blood concentration below 30%, and peel off the impurities in the blood to increase the percentage value of the blood concentration.
Condensation process: Take three blood vessels with similar blood concentration, and combine them into one through mixing, filtering, and coagulation to become a blood vessel with a very high blood concentration.
Research on the synthesis process of artificial blood vessels falls within the scope of the blood vessel research group.
Although no concrete evidence has been found to prove that the bloodline research group is related to the cloaked man, it does not prevent the three of Rexall from including the bloodline research group in the list of potential opponents.
"If it involves [refining bloodline], then we don't have enough manpower." Cerites opened his arms and drew a big circle on the table, "Except Xia Zuo's bloodline does not meet the requirements of [refining bloodline] In addition, the remaining fourth and fifth generation pure-blood mage families of pure-blood mage families all meet the refining requirements. There are more than 100 of them in total..."
"Yeah, it's really troublesome." Rexor nodded his head.
Taking the factor of "refining bloodline" into consideration means deleting the "strength requirement" among the three screening conditions, which suddenly expands the qualified screening targets dozens of times.
Theoretically, the best way to deal with this is to gather the fourth- and fifth-generation pure-blood mages for protection, and then put the main defense force on Hughley, Bonnie, and Reina. This way, we can to a large extent Put an end to the cloaked man's evil influence.
but!
What Rexall and the three of them hoped for was not that the cloaked man would miss, or that the cloaked man would retreat and commit the crime without showing up!
Their plan was to use members of the pure-blood mage camp as bait, and after the cloaked man took the bait, they would follow him closely or capture him on the spot.
What bothered Rexall was not that he couldn't protect the pure-blood mage, but that it was difficult to determine which target the cloaked man was targeting, and he couldn't make plans for that target in advance.
Any apparent protection for members of the pure-blood mage camp will arouse the vigilance of the cloaked men and affect the plans of the master demon hunters.
In order to ensure the smooth execution of the plan, the demon hunting masters could only allow the cloaked man to harm the pure-blood mage. This is why Rexall behaved hesitantly and dullly when facing Xia Zuo.
"We can only use the hardest but most reliable method to conduct an in-depth investigation."
Rexor put his arms on the edge of the table and said:
"The blood concentration of members of the pure-blood mage camp is a semi-open secret. Pure-blood mages themselves will not reveal it, but anyone who has done a little research on the power of blood can deduce it through their external performance and work conditions.
“This means that the cloaked man may have completed the preliminary investigation work.
"Once he attacks a pure-blood mage, he will directly take the target away, instead of testing Kallus' blood concentration first before deciding whether to attack Kallus like he did when targeting Kallus."
Rexor looked at Seritus, "Let's go to the outer temple again and get the recent schedule plans of the pure-blood mages. We need to be specific about where they will appear, who they will meet, and who they will be with outsiders. How long to stay. These matters involve privacy, and it is difficult to obtain them, so... If necessary, we can reveal some of our plans to Symphiya, Letunia and Crystal, but others and their descendants will know. "
"Okay." Cerites nodded, "I stopped by the Holy Pattern Department to pick up the new secret message rings. The guys ensured that these secret message rings have enabled new communication channels and will not be cracked. Well... short It will not be cracked within the time limit.”
Rexor picked up the blood magic sword leaning against the wall, walked towards the teleportation crystal, and said in a disdainful tone:
"It's hard for me to trust the people in the Holy Pattern Department anymore. We try to communicate face to face. If emergency communication is needed, use blood induction."
The teleportation crystal flashed and the two people in the room disappeared.
…
The next morning in the Western Continent.
Xia Zuo woke up from a soft dream.
He started a new day by having breakfast with Anruer.
Passing through the teleportation hall of the school and arriving at the teaching area of the outer hall, Xia Zuo received the secret message of the bald man's bloodline as soon as he stepped into the fountain sculpture square.
"Don't use the Secret Message Ring. The Holy Pattern Department has confirmed that the communication channel of the Secret Message Ring has been cracked. You may be being monitored by someone with malicious intentions."
Has the secret message ring been cracked? !
Xia Zuo was a little confused...
Can this thing be cracked?
Without waiting for Xia Zuo to ask questions, Rexor continued to use blood induction to say:
"I'm in Kristo's office, come here to find me. Keep a low profile on the way and avoid people who look strange around you, especially the students who just entered the temple this year for further study."
"Okay, Master." Xia Zuo cast a magic curtain, covering his body and walking towards the tower.
Pushing the door open and walking into Kristo's office, there were only slightly tired bald men and cold-faced men in the room, with no sign of Kristo.
Xia Zuo was a little confused as to what Rexall and the two were doing here. He looked at each other in confusion, and then moved his eyes to the desk.
Dozens of parchments filled with text were spread out on the table.
Xia Zuo glanced at it a few times after approaching, feeling a little surprised in his heart.
The parchment was full of information about members of the pure-blood mage camp, which was exactly the kind of information he wanted to come to and ask for from Crystal last night.
"You seem to be in a good mood?" Cerites glanced suspiciously at Xia Zuo, who was smiling.
"Ahem..." Xia Zuo's face straightened, "Thank you for your hard work, masters. I didn't expect that you two and I would go together and collect these materials all night long. I wanted to do the same. I came to the outer hall today. I just want to ask Cristo for this information."
"Why do you need this information?" the cold-faced man asked again.
Xia Zuo turned around and spread his hands towards the two people who were slumped on the sofa, "I think that after Kallus was taken over by the temple army, the cloaked man will not give up. He will take action again to target other members of the pure-blood mage camp. . Whatever characteristics Kallus has, then what characteristics will the cloaked man’s next target have. A pure-blood mage who meets these three characteristics, with high blood concentration, weak combat power, and withdrawn personality, is the cloaked man’s target.”
"I can't tell, but you still have some talent in this area." Seretes smiled and twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that could barely be regarded as appreciation.
"You are lucky." Rexor raised his finger and pointed to the corner of the desk. "The three parchments there meet the three characteristics you mentioned."
Praise to the Demon Hunter~
Xia Zuo nodded with a smile, rubbed his hands, walked over and picked up the parchment to read.
"Are you..." Cerites was about to ask Xia Zuo if he didn't know about [refining blood] when he was interrupted by Rexor.
The bald man waved his hand towards the cold-faced man and raised his index finger in front of his mouth to signal the other person to stay quiet.
Xia Zuo heard the movement and turned to look at the bald head who was acting strangely, "What's the matter, Master?"
Rexor said calmly, "Nothing. Seritus would like to ask you if you have used the secret message ring to send secret messages to others recently?"
"Yes. Yesterday I used the secret message ring to remind Kristo and the others to protect their offspring."
"Only this?" Rexor asked.
"Yes, this is the only one." Xia Zuo nodded.
"That's good, the situation is not too bad." Rexall took out a bag of secret message rings. "This is a new generation of secret message rings. It uses different encrypted channels from the past. You can use them to communicate with other people." Let’s get in touch, and don’t use the previous secret message ring.”
"Okay, thank you, Master." Xia Zuo took the bag and weighed it, "Do you need me to pay?"
"No need." Rexor waved his hand and patted the seat next to him, "Come sit here and watch."
Xia Zuo sat on the sofa, activated [Reading Acceleration], and quickly imprinted the contents of the three parchments in his mind.
"Who do you think is most likely to be the target of the cloaked man?" Rexor asked, sitting up straight.
Xia Zuo rubbed his temples that were swollen from reading quickly, thought for a few seconds and then responded:
"Hughley Letunia travels back and forth between Silvermoon City and the Ringed Island. She spends a lot of time in Silvermoon City and a longer time on the Ringed Island. The rules for entering and leaving the Ringed Island are as strict as entering and leaving the secondary plane. Cloak One has to forge the identity crest of a person with a top-secret level of knowledge or above to get in touch with Hughley Letunia, so Hughley is relatively safe.
“Bonnie Xinfiya takes care of Xinfiya’s assets alone, spends a lot of time alone, and her activities are all in public places, so she is the most dangerous.
"Rena Crystal should be the safest if she stays with the tower scholars all day long, but"
Xia Zuo looked at the parchment in his hand, "But the plane exploration team includes Neoxat, an unstable factor who has entered the territory of strange demons, so Reina's safety may only be slightly higher than Bonnie's. .”
"You're saying that Neoxat might be the cloaked man's pawn, right?" Rexall asked.
"Yes, yes." Xia Zuo said, "If you find any excuse to kick him out of the plane exploration team, then Reina will be the safest among the three."
"Well" Rexor thought for a moment, "We will consider your suggestion, Xia Zuo. It can be seen that you are very concerned about the safety of the members of the pure-blood mage camp. But unfortunately, we cannot invite you to help."
Of course not..
If Xia Zuo gets involved and protects the pure-blood mages perfectly, how can the cloaked man attack the demon hunter? How can the master hunter trace the whereabouts of the cloaked man?
The same reason is why Kristo, Symphiya and Letunia are not allowed to participate. They only need to keep an eye on the movements of their offspring and report the news to the master demon hunter in a timely manner when their offspring is attacked.
Xia Zuo was a little surprised by Rexor's polite refusal. He did have the intention to help.
Rexor looked at Xia Zuo who was hesitant to speak, shook his head and said, "Xia Zuo, you have to trust me and Cerites. I have only one order for you - take care of your descendants. Although your descendants are only pseudo-blood mages, you must always pay attention to them. Leave the other matters to me and Seritus."
"Okay..." Xia Zuo put down the parchment and bowed slightly towards the two of them, "Then I'll leave first. If you need help, you can come to me at any time."
"I will." Rexor watched Xia Zuo leave.
The door was closed, leaving only the bald and cold-faced man in the room.
Rexor walked to the desk, put his hands on his hips and let out a long sigh, "All qualified targets have been selected, and we are waiting for the cloaked man to take action."
The cold-faced man came to the bald man's side, "If Reina is really the target of the cloaked man, that would be the best. The place where the plane exploration team is located can be easily escaped, and we have enough time to track the cloaked man."
Rexor patted his companion's arm, "I'll meditate first, and you'll be on duty. Call me in three hours."
…
Xia Zuo returned to Xingye Academy.
Today is the weekend and Anruer has no classes. She is writing lesson plans and correcting students' homework in the dormitory.
After Xia Zuo came back, he chatted with Anruer about the morning's itinerary and experiences.
The cracking of the secret message ring is indeed a very important matter, but whether it is investigation, trial, or subsequent handling, it has nothing to do with Xia Zuo's current authority, so it can only be put aside without discussion.
But the pure-blood mage mentioned by Rexor was related to the safety of Xia Zuo and others, and became the focus of his discussion with Anruer.
Anruer chewed what Rexor said carefully, reviewed the whole thing in her mind, and said in an uncertain tone:
"Rexor and the others aren't fishing, are they?"
"fishing?"
As long as the dangerous pure-blood mage is protected, the cloaked man can be prevented, but Rexor and the two did not do this. There is only one possibility: they use the pure-blood mage as bait to lure the cloaked man into taking the bait.
No wonder, the big bald man asked with a sad face if he could trust him completely... Xia Zuo connected all the causes and consequences in one go.
In the fishing plan formulated by Rexor, the bait was a pure-blood mage, and the hook was the blood connection between the pure-blood mage and the superior. As a fish, the cloaked man will definitely activate his bloodline senses when he takes the bait, and the master demon hunter as a fisherman will appear.
The whole process does not require Xia Zuo's participation...
