Chapter 849 Elemental Magic

"Mr. Seville, are you home?"

Standing at the door of the house where Ji Xing lived, Caitlin knocked on the door again.

After waiting for a few seconds this time, she finally got a response: "Miss Law Enforcement Officer? It has been more than half a month since the case of Brino, and all the details are clear. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"There are still some details that need to be added, such as whether you and Professor Brino had conflicts before, which led to her choosing to steal your research results..." Caitlin had prepared her words long ago, and of course she had some sense of propriety.

But Ji Xing said: "Is that so...then tomorrow, it's too late today, it's not convenient for me, you can come to me anytime tomorrow during the day."

Too late? Caitlin was startled. It was just past seven in the evening, right? Is this how scientists work and rest? Jace didn't do that either, and that Victor seemed to never sleep.

But since Ji Xing declined, she couldn't insist on visiting him, so she could only say helplessly: "Okay, I'll come and bother you again around nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

Shaking her head, Caitlin left the same way, and only felt something was wrong when she returned to the entrance of Lanxun Manor.

Although she didn't expect to get privileges with the surname of Jilaman, she couldn't refuse occasional convenience. If it weren't for the identity of the daughter of a congressman, ordinary law enforcement officers would probably not be allowed to enter Lanxun Manor at this time.

My mother gave such a high evaluation, Seville shouldn't be unable to judge this.

'Too late...not convenient? '

With an inexplicable intuition, Caitlin felt that something might have happened. The policewoman looked back and locked onto Ji Xing's house.

On the other side, Ji Xing, who was sitting on the bed, spread his hands to the woman: "I cooperated very well. We should have more trust this time, right?"

The war mason from Noxus, Ziyatal, did not relax the blade across Ji Xing's neck. Her rich experience told her that Ji Xing did not behave like a prisoner from beginning to end. Although she didn't know what went wrong, she was always lingering with inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.

Ji Xing said again: "And this is not enough. I have to cooperate with you again. I know Caitlin. She is the daughter of Councillor Jiraman and should have inherited the wisdom of that councillor. I just pretended to rest and didn't see her at seven o'clock. She will soon realize that something is wrong.

There will be only one way to make her leave without any doubts, that is, pretending that there is a woman in my room. What do you think? You don't want to be exposed before your goal is achieved. I will play a scene with you again. How about not using knives or guns?"

Ziyatal was startled and his expression quickly became unfriendly : "You may still have some misunderstandings about some things, Seville! I really don't want to kill you before I get what I need, but cutting off one of your arms shouldn't affect your thinking.

Besides, if you get me into trouble and the mission fails, guess what I will do? Don't play tricks, I'm the one who holds the initiative!"

"No, I'm the one who holds the initiative."

Beyond Ziatar's expectations and reactions, without any premonition of the preparation period, Ji Xing's left hand seemed to reach out and grab with its own consciousness, and grabbed Ziatar's wrist holding the knife.

In Ziatar's conditioned reflex slash, Ji Xing fell back, her hair brushed against the blade, and at the same time, her left hand exerted force, following Ziatar's force to pull her to the bed, and he took advantage of the situation and twisted her knife-holding hand.

The huge force brought severe pain, and Ziatar's hand couldn't help but numb and loosen, and at the same time, her right leg quickly kicked back to save herself. But as soon as the leg was raised, it was knocked down by Ji Xing's predictive right foot.

The pain spread again, accompanied by a heavy elbow on the back of her neck, bang!

The vital part was hit, and Ziatal's eyes suddenly went dark, her consciousness was drowsy, and she groaned in pain with the bed.

Caitlin, who returned to Ji Xing's house at the same time, moved her ears, her eyes twitched slightly, and turned around and walked away as if she was taking a walk.

Ji Xing in the bedroom picked up the short knife that looked like a machete, and put it across Ziatal's neck and said, "The cooperation is successful."

Ziatal was a little stunned.

This lightning-fast counterattack of the knife did not have any extra movements, just like the knife-grabbing technique taught by the instructors in the Noxus military camp, even her own reaction was predicted, and each strike was so accurate that it seemed to have been carefully calculated.

Because Seville was born in a chaotic place like Zaun, and she saw a variety of exercise equipment when she was lurking in Ji Xing's house today, she was prepared that Seville might have a certain combat power, but was still countered instantly?

"Damn..."

The roles were reversed, and the cold blade gradually made her conscious. She raised her hands and turned over little by little: "I underestimated you."

Ji Xing smiled: "Now finally..."

Before she finished speaking, something unexpected happened!

"Kucher!" Ziyatal suddenly muttered some strange words, and then there was a crackling sound, and a blue arc of electricity jumped around her!

The arc of electricity crackled and hit the blade in Ji Xing's hand, and it was transmitted along the steel, causing Ji Xing's body to tremble, and the knife fell with a clang.

Ziyatal took it back and looked fiercely at Ji Xing who took two steps back in surprise.

Although she was a student eliminated from the Noxus School of Magic, what she learned in the school of magic back then saved her life countless times!

Just like today.

The roles were reversed again, and she said with great vigilance: "Sewell, I will give you one last chance to give me all the technologies related to the universal capsule! Or you can try again...defeat me in this small bedroom! "

What made her uneasy was that Ji Xing, who was opposite him, still showed no signs of panic. He just raised his right hand that had just been electrocuted and rubbed it in front of his eyes. A small piece of dead skin fell off and he suddenly smiled.

"Thunder and lightning elemental magic is really good."

"...?"

How could this guy from Zaun accurately call out the 'scientific name' of the magic I used?

All things in the world are interconnected. The operations of cultivating magic power in the body through meditation and communicating with external magic sources to obtain magic power are always very similar, and Ji Xing can easily master them.

But casting is different.

Each world has its own logic for casting spells. It is impossible to get started. Even Ji Xing cannot roughly turn magic into power. Moreover, during these two months of meditation, Ji Xing has already discovered that the magic in the alliance world seems to be particularly different.

It has an inherent and special operating logic, just like the 'magic network' mentioned in some Western fantasy novels. Is it the rules brought by the world's runes?

Ji Xing thought about it, and then gently rubbed his fingertips that had lost their dead skin, and a small arc of electricity jumped out like a lighter flame.

Ziatar's eyes widened instantly.

Sewell can also do magic? ! And it’s the same lightning element magic as me? !

Her worldview was shocked, and she said in disbelief: "Who the hell are you! Where are you from?!"

Ji Xing looked at her and smiled mysteriously.

The next moment, Ji Xing's body suddenly moved forward, as if he was about to launch an attack. Ziatar, who was in a state of turmoil, subconsciously dodged.

At the same time, the glass behind Ziatar crackled and shattered, and a sharp bullet shot accurately, entering from the back of Ziatar's head and exiting from Ziatar's forehead!

Ziatar's movements froze.

Ji Xing shook his head and said: "Caitlin will leave if there is a woman in the house? It's still wrong, because she will know that if I bring a woman back, the guards of the Philos family will definitely not allow her to visit at this time. mine."

As these words sank into darkness forever, Ziatar forgot the bloody nature of the Noxian war masons, did not shout out the words 'for Noxus' at the last moment, and was even filled with unspeakable sorrow in his heart. Fear and withdrawal.

Even if she wasn't hit by this bullet, she probably wouldn't have the courage to continue the mission!

Outside the window, Caitlin, who set up her spear and fired the bullet just now, was also stunned.

She did find an abnormality, but because she didn't know the exact situation, through the hazy shadow behind the curtain, she aimed at the arm.

But now... why did that person suddenly take a step back? I...killed her? !

She secretly screamed in her heart that it was terrible, but was alerted by the gunshot. Several guards from the Philos family also rushed over and said nervously: "Miss Caitlin, what are you doing?!"

"It doesn't matter, Law Enforcement Officer Caitlin is saving me." Just when Caitlin was struggling with how to explain, Ji Xing opened the window she broke and said, "Come in and clean up, there is a guy in my house. Been lurking all day."

"……What?"

"Mr. Sewell, are you okay?!"

The guards were in panic, and soon the housekeeper and the Philos family rushed over, and the entire Lanxun Manor gradually fell into chaos.

Caitlin was relieved, but also a little confused. It seemed that I suddenly... became the savior of Xavier, the most popular person in Piltover recently?

Who is the other party?

When Camille, the gray lady who had dealt with Justo, returned, Caitlin even gained Camille's approval, and she felt that tonight was even more ridiculous.

The one who felt even more ridiculous was her mother.

I asked Caitlin to see the true face of a law enforcement officer and make her retreat, not to make great achievements and get promoted... How did she gain the friendship of the Philos family?

The Philos family was in its 'strong period', and this friendship, especially the friendship from Sewell, was precious. However, after she had a private chat with Camille, she was not happy at all.

The one who was killed was actually a war mason? !

Noxus, a behemoth and a war maniac, weighed heavily on her head, and even Camille felt angry and heavy in her heart.

Especially after hearing Ji Xing say that the war mason who sneaked into his house was still a mage.

The two war masons who came to Piltover are probably elite war masons. How far is Noxus prepared to go?

How should we cope?

On the other side, Caitlin, who was still thinking about tonight's chaos until she returned home with her mother, suddenly said: "Something is wrong, mother. I saw the death of the intruder at the first moment, and her eyes were full of tears without closing her eyes. Terrified and with bruises from being hit hard.

Before I fired, Sewell had already fought with her and even had the upper hand. At the moment when I fired, the intruder backed up in fear due to some special circumstances, and happened to catch me with his head. bullet……"

"So?" The worried Councilor Gila Mann looked helplessly at his daughter who had entered detective mode again: "What do you want to say?"

"What a coincidence." Caitlin said: "Being killed by my shot... what a coincidence."

"It's such a coincidence." Councilor Gila Mann sighed: "Go back to your room and rest, Caitlin."

"……ah?"

"Don't worry about anything tonight, sleep and forget it, just pretend you never went to the Ferros family and never fired that shot!" Jiraman said with a straight face.

"Mother..."

"Be obedient!"

That night, many people couldn't sleep.

...

While Piltover was worried about Noxus's cross-border behavior, a drastic change was taking place in the Noxian palace.

Along with the screams of ravens, the figure who had been sitting on the Noxian throne for more than ten years was crushed to pieces by a force. Darkwill, the emperor of Noxus, was killed!

The one who killed him was a man with gray hair and a face that seemed to be filled with countless sorrows.

He had a demon's left hand and a pair of black wings spread out behind him. The noisy raven sounds were emitted from his body, and this terrifying power made his followers behind him show fear.

They wanted to make the regicide, the powerful general Swain, the new emperor, but Swain refused. He had the ability of foresight and hoped that Noxus would achieve strength through unity.

Because Draven was one of his followers, the general Darius who returned later quickly chose to support him, and together with the Black Rose who was forced out by Swain and secretly controlled the change of the Noxian throne for a thousand years, they formed the Trifarion Council to ensure that no one had a monopoly on power.

Afterwards, Noxus withdrew the troops that conquered various countries and regions, and the war masons that seemed to be everywhere, and adopted a different policy from the past, and was about to regroup.

In such a turbulent upheaval, the things that Camille and Lady Gillamane were worried about seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Ziatar and Justo, two elite war masons, even their names seemed to be swallowed up in this turmoil.

It was not until three months later that Swain noticed while cleaning up the previous files: "Justo was sent to Piltover more than three months ago to steal the 'Universal Capsule' technology?"

"Yes."

"Wasn't he recalled?"

"Recalled, but... no contact."

Swain was silent for a moment, and a figure appeared in front of him. He knew Justo.

More than five years ago, Justo was still a small general under him, but because Darkwill was worried that his growing reputation would threaten his rule, he was transferred away from him along with other trusted subordinates.

This led to his disastrous defeat in the Battle of Precision in Ionia. He rested for five years before gaining new strength and making a comeback.

Sure enough, things have changed. Not only did Justo withdraw from the orthodox army and become a war mason, but he also died in the mission?

What a pity, a good warrior.

Piltover, universal capsule... Swain shook his head and said nothing more, as if this matter had passed.

Meanwhile, the city of progress, Piltover, is still making progress every day.

In the streets and alleys, anyone with some financial resources will not only have a purse hanging on his belt, but also a universal capsule box!
