Chapter 174: Kidnapping Case)

'Devil May Cry: A magical item made by Emperor Russell himself. It corresponds to the 'sun' pathway and has the ability to purify the dead and fight against evil spirits. The specific abilities are 'sacred light', 'create holy water' and '

Sun Halo'.'

'Holy Light: Summons a sacred light pillar falling from mid-air and surrounded by golden flames. It restrains undead and filthy creatures, and has a huge bonus to their damage. It can also attach holy light to the blade, which can last for a period of time.'

'Create holy water: Place the blade in the water for about five seconds to create holy water, which can drive away evil spirits, drive away cold, and purify resentful souls.'

'Sun Halo: Targeting companions within twenty meters, including yourself, it can effectively improve your inner courage and purify the evil power in your body.'

'As a magical item, it inevitably has some negative effects. Its main effect is that if you often carry it, you will feel hot. This is mental heat and cannot be cooled down physically. You can only isolate it for a period of time.

disappear. In addition, be careful when using it during the day, especially at noon. If you use it for more than half an hour at this time, you will involuntarily praise the sun. At this time, your devout faith will make you forget the events in front of you, which may cause

Mortal danger.'

After the summoning ends, when the 'Mysterious Book' disappears, the scene in the room returns to its original color.

Xifa breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the pure white sword in his hand and recalled what he had just appraised. 'Devil May Cry' has three abilities. The sacred light can strike directly, or it can be attached to the sword to continuously cause damage to undead creatures.

Damage; making holy water can be used to assist and set up some traps for evil spirits and resentful souls; the sun's halo has the ability to purify evil forces, which can effectively weaken undead creatures or extraordinary people like resentful souls, and can also assist companions

, very comprehensive.

In general, with the collection value and these three abilities, 2,100 pounds is well spent.

As for the negative effects, they are not particularly serious. As long as you do not carry them often, you will not feel mentally hot. As for using this item at noon, once the time limit is exceeded, you will not be able to help but praise the sun. This negative effect is more troublesome, but,

At noon, there should be no need to face undead creatures.

After some consideration, Xifa decided not to strengthen this item for the time being, and at the same time, he also did not seal it.

The next day, Cromwell went out early. The arbiter got the 'Sheriff's' potion formula last night and should have gone to inquire about the materials.

Xifa did not go out. He had breakfast, drank tea, read the newspaper and basked in the sun.

Yes.

sun.

It was rare for Backlund to see the sun today. At least for the past few days since Xifa arrived, the city would be shrouded in fog even during the day.

This reminded Xifa of another city he knew well, London.

Around noon, Cromwell came back with a serious expression.

"Why, didn't you get the materials?" Xifa asked casually. He knew that extraordinary materials were not easy to find, but since they were only Sequence 8, and in a bustling city like Backlund, it shouldn't be difficult to collect them.

Maybe it's a money issue, Xifa thought.

Unexpectedly, Cromwell shook his head and said: "No, someone said that he has the fear insect eyes and the silver-white war bear's right palm that I need. He even said that he could give it to me."

Xifa narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said with a smile: "There is no free lunch in the world. I guess the other party has put forward other conditions?"

Cromwell nodded and said, "Do you know MI9?"

MI9?

Backlund also has MI9?

Xifa said calmly: "It sounds like it's an intelligence department?"

Cromwell sat down on a single sofa: "Yes, the person who is willing to give me the materials is the person from MI9. They have the arbiter channel, and that person invited me to work for MI9

."

"He wants you to join MI9?"

"No, he said that I can serve MI9 as a non-staff member. I can accumulate merit and exchange for potion formulas and materials."

Cromwell showed a thoughtful expression: "Before Sequence 6, there shouldn't be much of a problem. But if you want to obtain Sequence 5 or above formulas, you probably have to join MI9."

"Even so, if I agree, I will be subject to certain supervision."

Xifa spread his hands and said: "But at least, you don't have to worry about promotion in the future. You only need to do the work assigned by them."

"I have to think about it."

Cromwell raised his head and smiled: "It's getting late, I'll treat you to dinner. Then, we'll visit the 'lawyer'."

"I like this idea." Xifa stood up and said, "But I should treat you. After all, whether I can find investment opportunities depends on you."

The arbitrator did not shirk, so the two went out to have a meal.

afternoon.

Backlund Bridge area, No. 29 Rose Street.

Sifa followed Cromwell and looked towards a two-story building in front.

"Lynn lives here, um, Lynn Beard, the lawyer I told you about." Cromwell walked forward in a familiar manner.

Xifa said from behind: "I thought we would go to an office, or a company or something."

"Today is Friday. Usually on Fridays, Lynn would only go to the office in the morning, and he would have a day off in the afternoon." Cromwell turned back and said with a smile, "He is a guy who loves to enjoy himself."

Xifa said sincerely: "I envy him very much."

Standing in front of the door, Cromwell rang the bell, but after ringing several times, no one opened the door.

Xifa spread his hands and said, "It seems that Mr. Lin En is not at home?"

The referee frowned: "Impossible, he has the habit of taking a nap. On Fridays, he usually sleeps until three o'clock, then goes fishing, and then goes home at night."

"I was prepared for him to complain."

Cromwell called out: "Lynn, are you at home? It's me."

After there was still no answer, the referee shrugged his shoulders, squatted down, lifted up the carpet in front of the door, picked up a wooden board in the corridor, and reached in.

When he took his hand out again, Cromwell already had an extra key in his hand.

He opened the door, and Xifa saw Cromwell's body pause for a moment, then rushed into the room like lightning.

Something happened?

Xifa followed immediately and took out the 'Praise of Blood'. When he entered the house, he saw that the living room was in a mess. It looked as if someone had broken into the house and robbed it.

Cromwell rushed to the second floor, and Xifa followed him to the bedroom, where there were obvious signs of a fight.

The quilt on the bed fell to the floor, the desk lamp fell over, a cup was smashed to pieces, and there was blood on the corner of the wall.

The arbiter shouted: "Damn it, he seems to have been forcibly kidnapped."

Without saying a word, Xifa took out the fortune teller's coin and whispered: "Lynn Beard has been killed."

He tossed the coin and watched it flip over in mid-air until the number ended up pointing up.

Xifa breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Cromwell: "He is still alive, but I don't know when he will die."
