Heavenly Dao Formula

Talisman, Ancient Law, West Pole... It is quite unexpected that these words appear at the same time.

The first thing Xia Fan thought of was Anjia.

"The An family does know how to make talismans in ancient times, but many people in the Six Kingdoms also know about it." Qian Yan shook his head and said, "This obsolete drawing technique is not a secret."

"There is also the Black Gate Sect," Li added. "After all, they have continued from Yongguo to the present."

"I don't know if the evil force and the Heimen Sect who instigated Fei Nian are from the same path, if not, then they are also one of the suspects." Xia Fan scratched his head, so there may be a lot of forces involved in it .

"I don't think it should be complicated from the very beginning. For example, outside alchemists are involved in this matter." Qian Yan said calmly, "Leaving home and attacking the West Extreme Church? There is really no reason for ordinary people who are angry to do so."

"Then what do you think..."

"The simplest guess is that a businessman bought these talismans and then fell into the hands of the assailant."

This idea made Xia Fan's eyes light up.

In theory, it is indeed the easiest possibility to realize. The Privy Council conducted corresponding research decades ago, and believed that qi is universal in the world, but it is given different names because of differences in cognition in different places. For example, the magic power of the West Pole, the ether of the Shazhou Kingdom... are essentially the same thing. However, due to the difference in cognition, they have great differences in the application methods and actual effects.

And after corresponding learning, the person who feels the qi can bridge the gap between them by relying on personal ability.

If this set of theories has been studied in the West Pole, someone must have mastered the method of using magic power to activate talismans. Therefore, it is not ruled out that the murderer is one of them-the other party deliberately used oriental talismans to attack the convoy, relied on a completely different magic system to disrupt the investigation of the prophecy, and finally completed the hijacking in Azure Castle without anyone noticing, and the Lord of Cleveland Can't do anything about it.

"But it's just speculation, we need more concrete evidence..." Olina frowned.

"Look at the talisman itself." Qianyan picked up the mute talisman in Xia Fan's hand and held it up to the afternoon sun, "Have you ever wondered why it was abandoned in the woods?"

The talisman is the same as the medicine guide, once the spell is successfully performed, it will immediately turn into nothingness.

"Its talisman has been diluted... so that it has become a useless talisman?" Xia Fan guessed after looking at it for a while.

"Indeed." Li nodded, "There are traces of flowing ink in the strokes of the pen, which has destroyed its overall structure."

"The goods got wet during the delivery!" A thought suddenly came to Xia Fan's mind, "If alchemists were involved, the talisman should be carried close to the body. But it was just packed in a box and traveled across the ocean. It will fail due to water immersion."

The assailant first used this mute note.

It was found that it could no longer be activated, and it was immediately replaced with another one.

But this delay shortened the attack window a bit.

In haste, the thrown waste talisman was abandoned in the forest. The assailant also forgot about it after he succeeded, and did not turn back to recover the talisman paper.

After hearing these words, both Li and Olina agreed.

"But how to check this?" Dragon Girl asked a new question, "The Mage Tower will definitely not tell us who has studied oriental magic."

"It would be great if Fang Xiandao was here." Fox Demon couldn't help sighing, "Xia Fan is not involved in this case, and it happens to be alchemy, so he should be able to divination easily."

"Forget it," Qian Yan curled his lips, "That kid can vomit in a riverboat, let him come to the West Pole, it is tantamount to killing him."

"Tell Latherin the news and ask him to investigate." Xia Fan said confidently, "This case involves trade between the East and the West. First find out which ships have been to the Eastern Continent recently. One thing is certain, alchemy talismans are by no means a daily necessities that can be put on the shelves for public sale, it must have its own trading channels, or go further... Maybe the perpetrator and the sea merchant knew each other."

...

"My lord, the group of people came again this morning."

The subordinate's report made Lathein, who was plastering the wall, tremble slightly, and there was another fingerprint on the hole that had been smoothed.

Hell, why is this eastern ambassador so troublesome?

He wiped the putty on his fingers, sat back at the desk, "let them in."

Forget it, I happen to have a gold pen to pay for.

Seeing Xia Fan and Olina walk into the room, Lathein decided to control the initiative in his own hands first, "Why, didn't I make it clear enough this morning? Azure Castle can provide so much information, if you don't If I have any clues, I can’t help—”

"We've found new groundbreaking leads."

"Pfft!" Lather spit out the tea he had just drank from his mouth, "New, new clue?"

He only set off at noon, and there was a harvest at four in the afternoon. Is this guy serious?

That was a mystery where the lord used all the knights in the city and high-level scrolls to make no progress. As a result, a foreign ambassador claimed to have found a breakthrough in four hours. Wouldn't such a comparison make the knights extremely incompetent?

"Miss Okan," he put his handkerchief over his mouth, "this is no joke."

"Ambassador Xia is telling the truth. We found this in the woods north of the crime site." Olina put the discarded talisman in front of the defense officer, "There are reasons to believe that the perpetrators deliberately prepared Well, the Eastern Talisman, so the merchants who sailed across the endless sea are somewhat suspicious."

After listening to Dragon Girl's explanation, Ratherin felt a huge wave in his heart.

This discovery is really a breakthrough clue!

At least it turned the case from nowhere to traceable—the customs office has a complete record of the entry and exit of ships, as long as the statistician checks it, it is not difficult to find out how many ships have been engaged in Far East trade recently.

All in all, the route across the Endless Sea is only a very small number of all trade routes, and there is no regular caravan exchange between the two places. Even if the date is pushed forward to within a year, it is estimated that it can be checked in about two days.

Of course you can't say that.

The other party is only the ambassador of the East, not the Earl of Cleveland. Doesn't he become the subordinate of the East by doing his best?

"I understand." Latherin murmured, "This point is indeed worthy of further investigation. I will arrange for people to investigate these ships and their merchants."

"How long will it take?" Olina asked.

He couldn't help sighing in his heart, he didn't know what kind of demon this young lady from the Okan family was possessed to help a stranger like this, "Five days."

"so long?"

"There are only so many people in the seaport, and five days is quite urgent." Lather shrugged, "You also know that most of the people going to the Far East are private sea ships, or even temporary caravans that are disbanded after one vote. The people under me will also have to spend time to investigate. In short, once the results are obtained, I will immediately ask the guards to send them to your residence."
