Shameless Warlock

Xu Nan heard the clues about the "Book of Healing" from the black witch Barbera.

It is said that this book is a very in-depth study of high elf literature. At that time, Xu Nan just wanted to find this book and eat it, so as to crack the bag left by the wizard king.

"I don't know if that black witch is really Barbera."

Xu Nan murmured in his heart.

It stands to reason that he should still receive the treatment of the Eye of Purification in the Dawn Hall tomorrow, but since the Dusk Hall has been opened, it doesn't hurt to run over to join in the fun.

According to the reminder of the Paradise Lost system, the Holkamo disease on his body has been cured.

An artifact is an artifact, and the healing effect is extraordinary.

However, on his own, he definitely couldn't get Stephen Sand's treasure.

So he looked at Horford silently.

Horford was very savvy, and immediately expressed his righteousness:

"It's the subordinate's duty to share the master's worries!"

"Let me lead the way tomorrow!"

Xu Nan curled her lips noncommittally, and wondered if the guy's "artifact leader" was bragging.

But compared to other artifacts, the "Book of Healing" shouldn't be too expensive, right? Stephen Sang's family has a big business, so it's not a big problem to eat a few copies by himself, right?

"Okay, don't be found out."

Xu Nan finally made up his mind.

After all, he has been very enthusiastic in helping to catch the Soulstealer these days, so it's not too much to get some benefits, right?

...

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Nan was going to enter the arena as usual.

It's just that today's Halsay Palace seems to be more congested.

"Has there been more people in the first group? Or are there people from other groups coming in?"

Xu Nan was a little puzzled.

At this moment, a person suddenly came out of the crowd, he gently pulled Xu Nan's clothes, and then quickly walked into the shadow beside him.

Xu Nan froze for a moment, then quickly followed.

It's Akai.

"Do you have a clue?" Xu Nan knew Akai's behavior style, and such a hasty move at the moment probably had a very important discovery.

Moreover, there should be demands on oneself.

"Yes." Akai glanced at the crowd, and spoke faster: "Last night, another clue that we have been following has finally been harvested. On an island called Hei Nest Island in the Sea of ​​Curses, we found Soul Stealer's lair, and got a very important piece of information."

"Just today, the Soulstealer Legion will launch a small-scale attack on Halsay Palace!"

Xu Nan's expression changed:

"Halsey Palace? How is that possible?"

"This place is the core of Stephen Sand, right? Are they out of their minds?"

Although I don't know much about the strength of the Soul Thief Legion, places like Stephen Sang can't be infiltrated on a large scale so easily, right?

Halsey Palace is the most heavily guarded place in Stephen Sang. Are you sure you didn't come to die and expose more information by taking an attack on this place?

Could it be that they thought that Thomas had been exposed, so they simply refused to infiltrate, and then chose a small-scale storm?

The question is, does Halsay Palace have such important strategic value?

This is too magical. Do they think they are stronger than An Lun?

"It's really unbelievable, but you can't use ordinary people's thinking to judge the strategy of the Soulstealer Legion. This is the advice left by the predecessors." Akai said calmly: "So this morning, the Legend Council issued a notice, and the Hall of Dawn The wizards in one or two combined..."

Xu Nan's reaction was quick: "Is this a cover for an ambush?"

At the same time, he remembered another thing:

"What about the debate?"

Only in this way can it be explained why An Suli, who has always been strong, suddenly bowed her head to the alchemists.

This is an attempt to wipe out the Soulstealer army. No wonder they opened Halsay Palace uncharacteristically.

I just don't know why the soul stealers suddenly have a brain twitch and want to attack Halsay Palace.

Xu Nan did not fully believe the information provided by Akai. He was not questioning the character of the deputy captain, but was considering the authenticity of the information.

"Probably." When it comes to matters related to the alchemy of God, Akai is always not so calm, and there is some surprise on his face:

"However, those alchemists seem to be serious, and it doesn't hurt to let them debate."

"Anyway, this is not within the scope of my duties."

"Our law enforcement team is fully in place, and the current plan is to lure the snake out of the hole..."

A Kai briefly informed Xu Nan of the overall plan of the law enforcement team.

It is roughly the same as what Xu Nan guessed.

An Suli did have an idea once and for all. She hoped to lure the main force of the Soulstealer Legion at once, and use the advantage of Halsey Palace's home field to eliminate these lingering monsters in one go.

It is said that this time, she will do it herself!

This is a very rare thing. How strong Chief Stephen Sang is has always been a topic of great concern to people. However, there are too few enemies who can make An Suli take action.

It's amazing that the Soulstealing Monster Legion can get An Suli to end in person, even if they are all buried here.

After hearing this plan, Xu Nan instinctively felt that something was wrong.

According to Brother Akai, Stephen Sang's troops are all concentrated in Halsay Palace, so what if the information is all false? What if the enemy also came to lure the snake out of the hole or simply slammed into the west?

Judging from the wisdom shown by Thomas, the high-level soul stealer has a higher average IQ than ordinary humans.

When facing a strong enemy like Stephen Sang, they would not consider such a simple matter.

He immediately expressed his worries.

Akai seemed confident: "Of course we have considered this."

"So there are other backup mechanisms."

"I tell you this because I hope you can do us a favor."

I'm coming. You knew you wouldn't tell me such a secret thing for no reason!

In the end, don't you want me to help you with a part-time job?

Xu Nan couldn't help complaining in his heart, and then said with a smile:

"As long as you don't let me be used as bait to lure snakes out of their holes, everything is fine!"

"As long as the money is in place."

Akai was silent for a while: "The collaborator bonus is already being applied for..."

"Also, how do you know I want you to be the bait?"

Without saying a word, Xu Nan waved his hand and left: "Baibai."

"Wait a minute!" Akai pulled Xu Nan back, feeling a little uneasy:

"I know it's difficult and a little dangerous, but we really can't find a better candidate for the time being. The opportunity comes too fast, and we must seize it."

"Soulthieves have a high degree of vigilance against high-level mages. This kind of defensiveness has been deeply rooted in their bones. This is because they have fought against Stephen Sand many times; but the opposite is true for warlocks. They lack The defensive mentality of highly charismatic characters is also an important reason why you were able to discover Thomas' abnormality..."

"Our plan is..."

After Xu Nan listened, she smiled on the surface:

"How much is the bonus for the collaborators negotiated last time?"

Akai sighed:

"You, forget it, I know."

"Do you want to double it?"

Xu Nan blinked:

"wrong."

"Ten times."

Akai's eyes widened in disbelief, and he almost jumped up, but was suppressed by Xu Nan's gesture of wanting to leave.

"I... don't have that high authority."

He lowered his voice:

"For Monsieur Roman's sake! Do me a favor! We'll keep you safe."

Xu Nan sneered: "I did the bait because of the good relationship between the teacher and Ms. An Suli."

"Besides, there are so many warlocks in Paradise Lost, you can find others to try."

Akai gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice:

"We're not sure if other warlocks have your insight."

"It's not sure whether they can fool the soul stealers."

"But you, I think you can try."

"Okay, ten times the bonus."

Xu Nan was shocked immediately, and spread out his hands, as if wanting to hug Akai:

"Order, sir!"

"From now on, I am the bait! In order to carry out the task, I have no regrets!"

"I'm highly professional, don't treat me like a human being!"

Akai looked at Xu Nan with disgust, trying to push him away.

But at this moment, another member of the law enforcement team suddenly came.

Xu Nan had a little impression of him, it was the black-robed wizard who tried to erase his memory back then.

"Boss. We found a clue to Helena!"

"This is an anonymous photo provided by one of my informants this morning. It was taken yesterday!"

After all, he handed over a black and white photo.

Xu Nan leaned over to take a look, and at that moment, the hairs on his back stood upside down!

The woman in the photo is indeed Helena!

Behind her is the decoration of the Aurora Festival, which must have been hung in the past few days; in the photo, she seems to have been photographed passing by a certain shop in a hurry. Her eyes were sharp, and she seemed to notice the photographer.

"How can...you are doing very well."

Akai controlled his situation in time.

About Helena's suicide, currently only Xu Nan, A Kai and Little Sun God know about it.

If this photo hadn't been taken in the past, the fun would have been huge.

"How did this clue come from?"

Akai asked calmly.

The black-robed wizard pondered for a moment:

"It was provided by a relatively reliable informant. According to him, I saw it by accident on the street. The location is the potion area, near the life school venue..."

The man reported the content of the intelligence in detail, and Akai praised him a few words, ordered him to continue to investigate, and then dismissed him on the grounds that the main action today was to defend Halsay Palace.

In the shadows, only Xu Nan and Akai were left looking at each other.

"It's a temptation."

Xu Nan analyzed: "Someone is testing us."

"He must be hiding in the dark and watching our actions. If we go directly to the cemetery next, I'm afraid it will be as he wants."

When the black-robed wizard reported just now, Xu Nan had already considered countless possibilities.

He was really shocked at first, but he calmed down quickly.

First of all, he can be sure that Helena is dead. It's not that there is no possibility of fraudulent death, but with Helena's scheming, how could it be so crudely exposed to the public's sight after fraudulent death?

Unless, she did it on purpose.

But it is difficult to explain the motivation of its behavior. She entrusted her son to Xu Nan and A Kai, and then played a trick of resurrecting from the dead. After being resurrected, she deliberately found the informant of A Kai's subordinates, hoping that they would go to see her?

If it is a novel, it can be written like this...

But Xu Nan thinks this possibility is too low.

Therefore, the information provided by this photo must be problematic.

In such a magical world, it is too easy to pretend to be someone's appearance. Not to mention that magic photos can be edited and cannot be used as evidence. A simple transfiguration can fool many people's eyes.

Xu Nan thought it was a test, which was the most reasonable.

"It's about the same as I thought."

"But the problem is that even if it is a test, it proves that the person knows a lot... at least very close to what we know, so he will target us."

Akai's expression became more serious.

Today's task was originally to fight against the Soul Stealer, but Helena's suspicion suddenly appeared. Although Akai is still tracking the incident of God's Alchemy in name, he and Xu Nan both know this clue, and it should have been broken. Just drop it.

As a result, someone jumped out and tried hard to continue it.

Is it intentionally disturbing the line of sight? Or is there another picture?

Akai didn't know.

If that person came for the alchemy of God, then the other party would definitely not give up.

Now that Akai has been chased, it is very likely that the next step will be to target the little Sun God.

"We must find a way to transfer him."

"But don't worry too much."

Akai hesitated for a while, and finally asked:

"You Paradise Lost, are you safe?"

Xu Nan thought for a moment:

"Generally speaking, as long as you can afford the money, it's pretty safe."

He probably understood what Akai was thinking.

Indeed, compared to Stephen Sand, Paradise Lost is a paradise.

At the very least, the warlocks are pretty close to each other in Paradise Lost.

...

Put the photo thing aside.

According to the predetermined plan, Xu Nan entered Halsay Palace.

Not long after, the wizards of the first and second groups had begun to receive the treatment of the Purifying Eye.

Xu Nan, who turned into a wolf from the underworld, ran away in a flash. He found a specific dressing room and changed his clothes.

Then he took out the [Fraudster Mask] and put it on.

This is the advanced version provided by Akai, and there is even a certain chance of being able to deceive the legend!

Xu Nan turned into Thomas, left the locker room, and began to walk carefully in Halsey Palace.

His task is to use Thomas' appearance to attract the attention of sneaking soul stealers.

Soulstealer has a unique communication method, but after the transformation, it is not much different from humans except that it is colder in emotion and more afraid of rabbits.

Of course, he didn't want to pretend to be Thomas completely, so as to mix into the ranks of the Soulstealer Legion.

All he had to do was disrupt the deployment of the Soulstealer army.

According to Stephen Sang's high-level inference, there is only one reason for the soul stealers to attack Halsey Palace: that is, they believe that Thomas has been exposed and is very likely to be imprisoned here.

And at this moment, on the eve of their attack, "Thomas" suddenly appeared alive and well.

To say that they can definitely interrupt their actions is a bit too idealistic.

But it will definitely force the infiltrators to reveal some flaws.

At least someone would try to reach Thomas.

Where there is temptation, there is opportunity.

"It's a pity that I can't go to the Twilight Hall today to watch the alchemists fight."

"I don't know if Horford can get the "Bridging Book"."

Xu Nan was wandering around, thinking with some regret.
