Hua Zhenxing got up and went to the kitchen, and everyone wanted to follow him to help with the cooking. Hua Zhenxing asked them all to stay and watch Petty in the private room, and only went to cook with Manman.
Half an hour later, eight dishes and one soup were put together. Time was tight, and they used ready-made ingredients in the kitchen, so they were all home-cooked dishes. About forty-five minutes after Huazhenxing hung up the phone, about Gao Gao
Le pushed open the door and walked in. As soon as he entered, he sniffed and said, "Wow, Boss Hua is so good at his craftsmanship. He made a table so quickly!"
Hua Zhenxing: "I don't know when you will arrive, so we are going to use chopsticks first. Please take a seat."
Yue Gaole didn't seem to see Petty in the corner at all. He sat down and tasted every dish first, and then drank another glass of wine, a special version of Klin's Daqu. It was Hua Zhenxing who took the initiative and said: "Mr. Yue, you
Next time you want to remind or warn me, can you please explain it clearly? What happened today is too scary!"
Yue Gao Le put down his chopsticks and asked: "Boss Hua, are you blaming me? I have clearly warned you, but you haven't been vigilant yet, and now you are saying such things."
Hua Zhenxing: "I do have to thank you for the reminder, but this kind of life-threatening matter is really not suitable for charades. Since you know what will happen, you should make it clearer!"
Yogaole smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not sure what will happen. I just suspect that the Pastor Petty you are looking for may be related to the disappearance of the great magician Ralph.
But all this is just my guess, I have no evidence! But I have to remind you to pay attention to your safety, so I can only say that."
Manman interjected: "Mr. Yue, since you could foresee that something might happen to Xiaohua, why didn't you stay here and monitor secretly? Instead, you ran to Mowang City?
With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to find or capture the great magician Ralph, right? As soon as he shows up, you should be able to spot him and capture him easily."
Yue Gaole shook his head and said: "You think too highly of me. I don't know where Ralph is hiding, and I'm not even sure if the person Xiaohua is looking for is Ralph. Another more important reason, if that
This is Ralph, as long as I'm here, he won't show up at all."
Manman: "Why?"
Yue Gaole: "If the Pastor Petty that Boss Hua is looking for is really Ralpha, according to my judgment, he has reached at least the seventh level of cultivation and has an intuitive sense of danger.
If he has degenerated into a black magician, he will act more cautiously. Ralph was a great magician in Gambistine back then, and you don't know that what he is best at is actually prophecy.
This kind of person's prediction of danger far exceeds that of ordinary great magicians. At that time, I didn't know whether he had escaped from this place or was still here?
But I know very well that if I were here, secretly staring at Boss Hua and waiting for him to appear, he would definitely not show up, even if I stare at Boss Hua for the rest of my life, it would be useless."
Hua Zhenxing said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. Yue, you seem to be planning to use me as bait to fish out this person?"
Yue Gaole said sternly: "No, no, no, you are completely wrong. If this is an unsolved case, it has been solved now, and we can start looking at the clues from the beginning.
Pastor Petty has always been at Wage Mining. He was already here before you came, and no one knows that he is the missing great magician Ralph of Gambistine, and no one knows that there is a black man hiding here.
Magician.
I didn't ask you to come here, you came here yourself, for the liberation of the New Alliance. It wasn't me who came up with the idea to let Boss Hua impersonate Varishi, it was Boss Hua who decided to do this.
Boss Hua used the magic of transformation, which alerted Ralph, so he hid. But there are also capable people in Yangyuan Valley, and you actually found the remaining traces of the formation in the sinister Wage City.
Ralph has wiped away all the clues, and it is said that you will not be able to find him at all. However, you mobilized grassroots organizations to conduct visits and investigations, and you still suspected Pastor Petty.
What I want to emphasize is that none of these consequences were caused by me. I just felt that Boss Hua would be in danger, and I came here to give a kind reminder yesterday.
Ralpha has been here for a long time, and like those gangsters, he is the obstacle that your new alliance will face in its liberation cause. Boss Hua has probably never thought that he can realize all his ideals at no cost, right?"
These words made sense, and Hua Zhenxing couldn't help but nod, and glanced at Ralph in the corner and said, "You said that this man is proficient in the art of prophecy, why didn't he predict his own fate today?"
Yue Gaole poured himself a glass of wine. He picked up the glass but did not drink it. He looked at the wine that had not completely dissipated in the glass and said: "The magic of prophecy is not omnipotent, let alone predicting everything. Otherwise, wouldn't he be invincible?
Need to hide?
I think he predicted that Boss Hua would pose a threat to him, and secretly observed Boss Hua and made his own judgment, so he wanted to conquer Boss Hua to eliminate the threat.
Having said all that, I am still very curious about one thing, how does Boss Hua know that he is the great magician Ralph?"
This is indeed a bit unreasonable. Yesterday, I asked Gao Le to chat with Hua Zhenxing and talked about a past incident. Five years ago, there was a great magician named Ralph in Gambistine. He disappeared in the Nilang Kingdom of the Black Wasteland. At that time, he was chasing
Hunting for a black magician.
But the person Huazhenxing was looking for was Pastor Petty, who had been hiding in Wage Mining for the past three years. When Ralpha showed up, he also took the identity of Pastor Petty. Huazhenxing called him Mr. Petty to his face, and Ralph did not
No denial was expressed.
It seemed that these two people were incompatible with each other, but after Hua Zhenxing caught Petty, he directly called Yogo Le and told him that he had captured Ralpha, who had become a black magician.
After Yue Gao Le arrived, he did not deny it. It seemed that Hua Zhenxing was right, so how did Hua Zhenxing know about it? Ralpha himself did not admit this identity!
Hua Zhenxing: "If I said it was a guess, would you believe it?"
Yue Gaole finally drank the glass of wine that had been swirling for a long time, put down the glass and said, "I believe it, because you have guessed it right. I just want to know how you guessed it?"
Hua Zhenxing: "The great magician is not a cabbage. He saw Tianwan disappear, and then suddenly another one appeared! There was a great magician who disappeared not far from Jili Kingdom, and today another one appeared here.
The presence of one is itself questionable."
Yue Gao Le: "It's not unreasonable, but it's too far-fetched and the evidence is not enough."
Hua Zhenxing: "I used the magic of transformation to pretend to be Wallish, but he saw through me as soon as I got here. I didn't even realize this person existed at the time.
You told me that Ralph was Gu Wentong's tutor in Gambistine, and he taught Gu Wentong's magic of transformation, so he naturally has the ability to see through my magic of transformation at a glance.
More importantly, you sent me Pastor Petty's information, which I just read before I went back to the apartment. I found out that this person is not Pastor Petty, at least not the original Pastor Petty. He just faked this
identity."
Yue Gaole finally glanced at the corner and asked curiously: "How did you find out? Doesn't he look like the one in the photo?"
Hua Zhenxing: "It's not that they are not alike, but they are very similar. They are so similar! What you sent me was a photo of Petty from ten years ago, as well as a piece of video material he left at the graduation ceremony.
There are also photos of him at Wage Mining when he joined the company, and then I met him in person. After ten years of living in a place like Wage City, how could his appearance not change at all, and he is still so young?
I know of a small magic called Face Shaping, which can change one's appearance in a short period of time. One consequence of long-term use of Face Shaping is that one's real appearance will change and become closer and closer to the appearance one pretends to be.
I suspect that this great magician should have mastered similar methods. The Ralph we see now is probably the result of long-term use of this kind of magic. He really looks too much like the Pastor Petty he pretended to be.
According to my guess, Ralpha met Pastor Petty in the Black Wasteland, and he felt that it would be safer to change his identity. As for the real Pastor Petty, it may be unfortunate that his body is gone now, and all his remains are
All the documents were taken away by Ralpha.
Ralph is proficient in the magic of disguise. It is easy to pretend to be another person, but always using the magic of disguise is troublesome and easy to be seen through.
So he used small means like plastic surgery, and his appearance gradually changed into what he is now. I guess his original facial features were very close to the real Pastor Patty, so he took a fancy to this person and pretended to be his.
identity.
I was just suspicious at the time, so I mentioned Gu Wentong's name - Temingo Ode, and his reaction was very surprising. He had obviously heard of this name. That's why I said that when I called,
And you helped me finally confirm it!”
Yue Gaole high-fived: "Wonderful reasoning and judgment process!"
Hua Zhenxing: "Don't just slap me. Now that this person's identity has been confirmed, can you tell me what's going on?"
Yue Gaole: "You have made people like this, and I can only deduce what happened. Boss Hua, do you know why I want to learn Yuan Yuan Technique from you and want to promote it in Gambistin?"
Hua Zhenxing: "Does it have anything to do with this matter?"
Yogao Le: "Of course it does matter! Many magicians in Gambistine pursue the power of magic too much, and sometimes this pursuit is very harmful to themselves. In other words, they are very deficient in health preservation.
Ralph is proficient in the magic of prophecy, but the result of frequent use of the magic of prophecy is the cost of lost life force, even if he is already a great magician.
He disappeared while chasing a black magician. But I didn't tell you yesterday that the black magician was actually a magician from Gambiste, named Tigo, who worked in a special organization.
This special department, even many people in Gambiste have never heard of it, is called the Black Magic Fire Department. I don’t know how to translate it into Eastern Mandarin, but this name should be the most appropriate.
Gambistine is committed to eradicating black magicians. All black magic books are banned and theoretically must be destroyed. However, to deal with the enemy, you need to understand the enemy. If you want to eliminate the black magician, you need to understand the mastery of the black magician.
means.
Therefore, books about black magic only exist in a special top-secret department, which is the Black Magic Fire Department. There are all kinds of information about black magic, as well as the inheritance books collected by the masters of Gumbisting after they eliminated the black magicians.
.
The purpose of retaining these things is not to learn black magic, but to study them in order to better deal with black magicians. Magicians who can work in this department are required to have a particularly strong will and have passed rigorous tests.
and assessment.
But nothing is foolproof in the world. About five years ago, Ti Ge took a leave of absence and never came back. When others noticed something was wrong, they discovered that a book of inheritance was missing from the Black Magic Fire Department. It might have been stolen by him.
Taken away.
Ralpha, who was proficient in the art of prophecy, was responsible for tracing the matter, and then he tracked it to the Nilang Kingdom in the Black Wasteland, but his whereabouts were unknown ever since.
To find out exactly what happened, I'm afraid we can only interrogate Ralpha himself, but looking at his current state, he can't speak. Even if he wakes up, if a great magician doesn't want to speak, no one can do anything about it.
We can make a reasonable guess: he may have found Ti Ge and got back the book of black magic inheritance, but decided to practice the black magic recorded in it.
Because of the frequent use of prophecy, his life force was greatly consumed, so he wanted to find a way to make up for it.
Once he did this, he could no longer return to Gambiste, nor could he reveal his identity, so he changed his identity and came to a place where he would hardly be discovered.
I have to say that he hid very well, and no one would pay attention to him in a place like this. But he met Boss Hua today, and he fell into trouble..."
After the "story" about Gao Le was finished, no one spoke for a long time. He took the initiative to raise his glass and said: "Eat food, eat food, what are you doing standing there? Come on, come on, let me toast you all! Thank you for your help.
, solved an unsolved case in Gambiste.”
Everyone drank the glass of wine, and Zhou Xingyuan whispered: "Mr. Yue, are you going to thank me like this? Director Hua almost died, and our losses were also very heavy!"
Sima Zhi answered: "The losses are not big, just an apartment, a five-element clothing talisman, a light-splitting sword talisman, a spring water talisman, a spring light talisman, two spring rain talismans, and four breaking formation talismans."
, four evil-breaking charms.
It is estimated that even a small sect is unlikely to be able to get these things at once. But in the eyes of an expert like Mr. Yue, what does it mean? It’s trivial!"
Hua Zhenxing waved his hand and said: "This is not a personal matter for Mr. Yue, but a matter for Gambistine. Although these things are precious, they are nothing to Gambistine. We caught Lar with our own hands
Fa, there won't be any compensation and rewards in Gambistine, right?"
Yue Gao Le: "Now that we have said this, I also have something to discuss with Boss Hua."
Hua Zhenxing: "Just tell me, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to cooperate. Why should I still owe you a favor?"
Yogao Le's expression was actually a little twisted: "If Ralph himself didn't speak, it would be difficult to determine the truth of the matter. We can only rely on guesses, and the most reasonable guesses have just been said.
From Gambistine's point of view, I hope this matter will not be made public again. Leave him to me and I will handle it. I will never let him remain in the world. I would like to ask Boss Hua, has anything been found on him?
thing?"
Hua Zhenxing took out a short staff and said, "I only found this staff on him. I didn't find other magic weapons, nor did I find the book of black magic inheritance."
Yue Gao Le: "I will search carefully again. He has already caught it. He himself is the clue. No matter where he hides the book of inheritance, I can find it with him."
Hua Zhenxing: "Don't keep that book of inheritance anymore. If you find it, I suggest you destroy it immediately."
Yue Gao Le: "Okay, I will definitely follow your advice, and I hope everyone here can agree to my request."
Manman frowned and said: "Ralfa is so bad, do you still want to cover up for him?"
Yogao Le: "This is not to cover up anything for him, I will kill him personally. But from Gambistine's point of view, the great magician Ralpha died five years ago.
Today I can finally recover the black magic book that disappeared that year, and also eliminate the black magician who inherited this black magic book. On behalf of Gambistine, I would like to express my gratitude to you!
I will report this matter to Gambistine overnight. Please rest assured that Gambistine will definitely make compensation and thank you.
After dinner, I will go look for the black magic book. No matter whether I find it or not, I will come again tomorrow afternoon and I will definitely give you an explanation then."
Hua Zhenxing: "Then let's eat first."
Yue Gaole: "Boss Hua, the staff you got is also an important artifact that Gambistine wants to recover. Can you let me take it away first?"
Hua Zhenxing: "We have agreed to do it tomorrow afternoon, so let's talk about it tomorrow."
This meal took a long time. Everyone here is highly cultivated and of course very good at eating. Almost none of the eight dishes and one soup was left. I also drank five bottles of the special version of Klin Daqu. In the end, everyone got a bottle
A large bowl of oil-splashed noodles.
Originally, Gao Le wanted to wait for the live record of the meeting between Charles and the President of Gilland, but by the time they finished eating the noodles, Charles hadn't finished talking yet.
Yue Gaole had to say goodbye first, untied the unicorn rope, took away the unconscious Ralph, and probably spent the night tracking down the whereabouts of the book of inheritance.
After he left, the meal in the private room was not over yet, and everyone made another pot of tea. Sima Zhi suggested: "We have to find a financial person to calculate the specific losses."
Zheng Tongjun smiled bitterly and said: "But what kind of accountant can calculate such an account clearly?"
Manman: "Yes, Lina!"
Hua Zhenxing's eyes lit up: "Yes, Manman is still smart. Now inform Lian Na and ask her to come to Wage Mining tomorrow afternoon. There are some things we don't know, but Lian Na must understand."
