Chapter 228: There is a big fish behind the small fish
After walking out of the Adventurers Association, Meng Luo looked a little dazed, Bai Yueguang's words replaying in his mind over and over again.
Due to the special circumstances at that time, she did not directly ask Bai Yueguang about Lin Xi's identity, but asked some indirect questions.
The answer she got surprised her.
Judging from Bai Yueguang's answers and attitude, she has great trust in this young man named "Lin Xi".
She even heard from Bai Yueguang's subtext that this young man named "Lin Xi" was far more powerful and terrifying than she imagined.
What did Bai Yueguang say?
He actually said that this young man has the strength to rival a real dragon!
If this were said at other times, Mengluo would definitely think that Bai Yueguang was talking nonsense, but since she saw Lin Xi's methods many times, she began to believe it.
Light magician, water mysteries, rare fire, elemental elf body, just pick one out and it will be shocking.
And these are actually concentrated on that young man.
What does this mean?
It shows that this young man is definitely an enigmatic person.
Monroe guessed with her keen sense that this young man's methods and trump cards might be far more than that.
Even the two people following the young man made her curious.
A person's whole body is shrouded in armor, making people unable to feel the breath of life.
The other one has a keen mind, and his movements give people an unfathomable feeling.
Especially the way this man looked at the young man showed admiration and admiration without any impurities.
Mengluo didn't know if she heard it wrong. She vaguely heard the man calling the young man "Lord Poseidon".
What kind of existence is a person who can be called a "god"?
During the voice contact, Bai Yueguang's attitude was enough to surprise her. She didn't expect that Liuying Qiangwei, who had always been steady, would also trust this young man extremely.
Mengluo vaguely felt that the reason for all this should be traced back to the time after they separated.
If her guess was correct, Bai Yueguang and Liuying Rose must not have left "Mesai City" immediately at that time, and then got acquainted with this young man due to some coincidence.
Apart from this guess, she really couldn't explain the attitudes of Bai Yueguang and Liuying Rose.
"You seem to have something on your mind?"
While walking, the young man's voice suddenly came over.
Monroe was stunned for a moment, then smiled, pretending to be nonchalant and said: "I just didn't expect such a coincidence."
After a pause, Monroe spoke again: "Can I ask a question?"
"What do you want to ask?" Lin Xi looked at the other party with an indifferent expression.
"After we parted ways, did anything happen in Mesai City?"
It seems like a simple question, but it has profound implications.
This sentence is equivalent to asking the other party whether you met in "Messe City", and at the same time, you can also know the events that happened there.
"A lot of things did happen!" Lin Xi murmured, showing a recalling expression.
Thinking about it now, it seems like a long time has passed even though only a few months have passed.
"'Messai City' was almost captured."
Just when Meng Luo thought the boy wouldn't say anything more, he suddenly heard this sentence.
"Captured? Captured by what?"
"Have you heard of 'The End of the Gods'?"
"The End of the Gods?"
Mengluo's face changed drastically, and his body froze on the spot as if he had been electrocuted.
"Monroe, Monro..."
It wasn't until she felt someone patting her back that Monroe's expression slowly recovered.
She gave an "I'm fine" look to Shan Yan behind her, and then looked at Lin Xi apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just lost my composure."
"Have you ever heard of 'The End of the Gods'?"
"Well, I heard it, and I know they are a group of extremely vicious and dangerous guys!"
"Looking at you, do you have any issues with them?"
"No, no, I'm just too shocked." Mengluo quickly explained.
Since this topic made the other party so embarrassed, Lin Xi said no more. He was not the kind of person who liked to explore other people's privacy.
Unexpectedly, he stopped talking, but Munro asked curiously: "What happened later, I mean those people who were in 'The End of the Gods', what happened to them in the end?"
"If one escapes, the rest will be taken care of!" Lin Xi said calmly.
"Is everything resolved?"
"This matter has passed, let's talk about something else!" Lin Xi began to change the subject, "Are we going directly to the Magic Association?"
"Oh, yes, we need to register first to be eligible for the 'star assessment'."
Monroe answered a little absent-mindedly.
She felt that she should take some time to contact Bai Yueguang and the others alone.
What happened in the original "Mesai City", and what happened to Ashuba's body in the end?
The "Magic Association" we are going to is a bit far away. It is the most peculiar building in the city and can be seen from a long distance away.
From a distance, it looks like a palm-shaped building, with its fingers spread out in an upward lifting motion.
“What a unique building!”
Looking at the palm-shaped building, Lin Xi expressed her opinion.
Cai Die, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally had a chance to interrupt.
"There is a story behind that building." Cai Die said mysteriously.
"Story?" Lin Xi looked at her.
"According to legend, a long time ago, there was a flood here. It was a powerful magician who single-handedly suppressed all the monsters."
"Does this have anything to do with architecture?" Lin Xi asked again.
"The magic used by that magician is earth magic in the form of a palm. It seems to be the secret of magic - the judgment of the earth!"
"Speaking of which, what does magic mean?"
Lin Xi asked a question that made others feel different.
A person who knows the secrets of water magic actually asks what the secrets of magic are, which is ridiculous no matter how you hear it.
However, Cai Die and the others couldn't laugh.
How can ordinary people like them have the right to make fun of monsters?
So what if people don’t know, they will know it directly!
Just like a rich man who doesn't know how much his property is, how can he be laughed at by the poor?
"The secret of magic is to perform magic beyond ordinary magic based on a deeper understanding of magic!"
Monroe explained on the side.
If privacy was not involved, she would be asking Lin Xi for advice on how to understand the magic of water.
Mengluo has always had a dream, which is to study at one of the top ten magic martial arts schools in the mainland.
However, all the magic and martial arts academies that can rank high on this continent require admission qualifications.
Obtaining a star rank is the qualification for a magician to enter those colleges.
It's a pity that if you want to enter a magic martial arts academy of that level, you need to obtain a two-star rank at best.
Nowadays, Monro does not even have a one-star rank. It is not an easy task to obtain a two-star rank before the college's entrance age.
At this time, Meng Luo thought of Bai Yueguang's words again: Meng Luo, if you have any questions, you can ask Lin Xi!
Lin Xi?
Nowadays, Meng Luo doesn't dare to call each other by his name.
The methods shown by the other party made her fearful, but she also felt alienated, as if she was not from the same world.
Huh?
Monroe glanced at the young man out of habit, but was surprised to see the young man frowning with a serious expression, as if he was offended by something.
No way!
At that moment when I was stunned, did Cai Die say something that I shouldn't have said?
Mengluo looked at Cai Die again and found that the other party was showing a surprised look. Apparently he didn't know what was going on?
"Your Mightiness……"
Meng Luo hesitated to speak, but at this moment, a powerful spiritual force radiated from the young man's body.
Mengluo was startled, and her intuition told her that the other party must have discovered something, otherwise, there would not have been such a big change.
"Is there only one small fish?"
Lin Xi's brows furrowed.
Speaking of which, there are such coincidences in the world.
One moment they were discussing "The End of the Gods", but unexpectedly at the next moment, he actually felt a member of "The End of the Gods".
It seemed that the other party was unlucky enough to release Detection, which inevitably attracted Lin Xi's attention.
As a result, under Lin Xi's investigation, she unexpectedly discovered that the other party was actually a member of "The End of the Gods".
As for why he was so sure of the other party's identity, it was because Lin Xi knew that every member of "The End of the Gods" would wear a "Ring of Contract."
And based on the color of the "contract ring", the opponent's level within the organization can be determined.
The man whom Lin Xi sensed was wearing an earthy yellow ring, which meant that the man was on the lower rock.
"Is it a coincidence, or is it premeditated?"
Lin Xi narrowed her eyes slightly and fell into thinking.
The man whose body was covered by a cloak did not notice that his whereabouts were exposed, and was still searching for something intently.
"Yeye, Yechen, how about I give you two a task?"
Lin Xi sent a message to the two little guys.
Whoosh!
Yechen came to Lin Xi immediately and asked, "What are your instructions, Master?"
"You guys help me spy on someone!"
Lin Xi felt that the man's whereabouts were too suspicious, and he might be plotting something else.
A member of the Xiayan position is not worthy of Lin Xi's action now. It is best to find out what they are conspiring to do.
If she could meet the escaped ice magician again, Lin Xi firmly believed that she would never let him escape again.
I remember that the ice magician used the teleportation scroll to escape from the battlefield.
But at this moment, the other party was not so lucky.
After catching that guy, Lin Xi decided to hand it over to Huang Quan.
Whoosh!
The two little guys were happy to be assigned the role and the game flew away.
It wasn't until this moment that Lin Xi's serious expression gradually softened.
"Excuse me..." Cai Die looked cautious, "Did I say something wrong just now?"
Lin Xi's sudden change in demeanor frightened her greatly.
"Sorry, I just sensed a hostile force. It has nothing to do with you." Lin Xi explained with a smile.
He did not identify the other party because he was afraid of alerting others.
"Your Majesty's enemy?" Cadie showed an exaggerated expression.
Wouldn't it be equally terrifying to be regarded as an enemy by monsters?
"Don't worry, it's just a small role, let's continue on the road!" Lin Xi said.
Because of what just happened, everyone's mood was affected, so that the rest of the journey was a bit dull.
Lin Xi didn't care. With his eyes looking around, he discovered many interesting shops.
It is inevitable to stop for a visit, so we cannot guarantee the time to arrive at the "Magic Association".
"Dear guests, welcome to visit, welcome to visit!"
As soon as I entered a store, I received a warm welcome.
The businesses in this city seem to be very enthusiastic, which has become a feature of this place.
Lin Xi went straight to a row of shelves, which contained a dazzling array of merchandise.
There are swords and weapons used by fighting masters, accessories used by magicians, and some miscellaneous items with unclear uses.
This is a shop selling second-hand items!
"In today's world, even the 'Magic Boat' is no longer safe. Several customers have heard about what happened not long ago." The shop owner said with a serious expression.
"We not only heard about it, we also saw it with our own eyes, but didn't we land safely in the end?" Cai Die said frankly and immediately started chatting with the store owner.
"Just because you're lucky once doesn't mean you'll be lucky every time. It's a coincidence that a few distinguished guests came here, and I happen to have a few sets of flying magic props here..."
The store owner changed the subject and started advertising directly.
I bet what he just said was just foreshadowing.
"I am a 'wind magician'. I can fly briefly without using magic items." Cai Die said with a smile.
"Then these guys can definitely be used."
The store owner set his sights on Monroe, who had an extraordinary temperament.
Monroe asked casually: "How to sell it?"
Before looking at the product, ask about the price first to prevent being ripped off.
"Only seven hundred crystals!"
The shop owner bared his teeth and tried to put on a friendly expression.
"Seven hundred crystals? What does this mean?"
Lin Xi found that she had heard a new term again and hurriedly asked.
"That's seven hundred magic crystals."
Meng Luo already liked Lin Xi's behavior that did not understand common sense, so he hurriedly explained.
"Boss, how can I sell this old dagger?" Lin Xi asked, pointing to the shelf.
"The customer has good eyesight. It is the 'Blue Fang' that has been passed down for a long time. The dagger is extremely sharp and has a paralyzing effect..." the shop owner began to introduce.
"No introduction is necessary, just tell me how to sell it?"
"Three hundred crystals!"
The shop owner smiled, showing some big gold teeth.
"Can I use gold coins?" Lin Xi asked again.
"Of course you can! Three million gold coins!" The shop owner smiled even more happily.
"Three million gold coins?" Lin Xi was stunned.
The store owner was also stunned. What he said was the regular exchange price. Why was this customer so surprised?
"A piece of magic crystal is equivalent to ten thousand gold coins."
Monroe paused for a moment, probably because he was afraid that Lin Xi would not understand, and then explained: "Different countries use different currencies, and the ratio of exchange for magic crystals is also different. Magic crystals are the common currency of the entire continent!"
Lin Xi understood that this magic crystal was equivalent to the "spiritual stone" used in the world of immortality.
Magic crystals and spirit stones are both consumables and can also be used as currency, which is quite understandable.
"What about this small stone statue?" Lin Xi asked about another product.
