The gunman spoke again, raising his voice and shouting to everyone present. "What do you mean?" "Don't change the subject, we are asking you a question." "Don't answer a question with a question!" "..." This irrelevant and arrogant attitude also angered everyone, and several of the deceased's friends were ready to fight and were showing signs of losing control. Anyway, they are all foreigners. Once the church staff come into conflict with them, it will be an international dispute. As long as they are the right party, they are not afraid of the church bullying them or cheating. "I'll repeat it again, who did it?!" The gunman did not give in and shouted again in a harsh voice. "you!……" "It's me," a clear, pleasant, and slightly childish voice came from the crowd, instantly attracting everyone's attention, "What's the problem?"
========================= Weekly reminder to all readers to like/(·o·)/~~ Chapter 56 "That Adult" Qi Ji walked leisurely to a few meters away from the church knight, hugged his chest and said nothing. Their indifferent and cold attitude was really annoying. In addition to standing up for Frion's caravan, she also wanted to take this opportunity to contact the officials of this country. The knight's eyes were as sharp as torches as he lowered his head and looked at Qi Ji, who was not even as tall as his chin, millimeter by millimeter. "What does this guy mean?" "You gave him face, didn't you?" "..." After waiting for about ten seconds, the caravan members around him became increasingly agitated, but he still didn't say anything. Qi Ji broke the deadlock with a tone that sounded like he deserved a beating: "Are you dumb?" "Adventurer, watch your words!" The follower tapped his spear and warned, then glanced at the ditch not far away, "--Did you cast that spell just now?" Even though the purple-black pillar of fire lasted only less than a second before being extinguished by Qi Ji, its appearance was so conspicuous that it couldn't be more conspicuous, and it made a very loud noise, like a thunder explosion, which could be heard throughout the city. These followers, including the knight, must have seen it clearly. "Yes," Qi Ji did not hide it, because such a big thing could not be hidden, "Let's put this matter aside for now, you haven't answered everyone's questions yet." "You, are a mage?" The knight finally spoke. His voice was low and slightly hoarse, with a heavy and dense texture. "...I guess so." Qi Ji shrugged. "You are not from the caravan. A caravan of this size cannot afford a mage of your strength." The knight said calmly, with no emotion in his eyes:
"In the Holy Temple, any wizard above the level of mage must register before entering the country, and must obtain approval from the local church before passing through each town. But I have never heard of a mage visiting Stio. Who are you?" When Lunxi heard this, he came closer nervously. She knew that Qi Ji was not a native of Stio, nor even a citizen of the Templar Church. Strictly speaking, Qi Ji was an illegal resident in Stio. As official personnel of the Holy Grace Church and the country's actual ruling class, the Knights of the Church are quite sensitive about the household registration issue. As long as he is willing, it is completely reasonable to hold him accountable in this regard. Although it was easy to make a big thing small with Lunxi speaking for her, Qi Ji's life was still inevitably disturbed during this period. Lunxi didn't want Qi Ji's life to be affected by this kind of trouble, so he wanted to say something to help her out. "Just say that Xiao Qiji is my friend, and the Knight will not delve into her background." After organizing her words and was about to speak, Qi Ji gave her a look, indicating that she didn't need to do so. "Uh..." Lunxi looked at Qi Ji in confusion. Qi Ji chuckled a few times, lowered his head slightly and didn't look at the knight. He whispered in an unfathomable tone: "You should have heard of me... Last year at Moon Valley, I caused a bit of chaos." After careful consideration, Qi Ji decided that it would be better to create a relatively reasonable "personality" for himself for the time being in order to facilitate his actions. Before this, she had already displayed her outstanding magical abilities and superb physical fitness in front of too many people, so if she called herself a magician or a warrior, it would not be convincing. And based on her partial understanding of extraordinary people, "magic fighters" who practice both magic and martial arts do exist in the human world, but they are relatively rare and generally not very strong. Because human energy is limited, and extraordinary powers are beyond the power of ordinary people, for most people, embarking on one of these paths is enough to spend half a lifetime to achieve a little success. Moreover, if a person's talent is really ridiculously high, and he is the chosen one, the son of the plane, then the more rational choice should be to spend his entire life studying a single path and trying to reach the limit in one aspect. Pursuing proficiency in multiple fields is actually a waste of one's own talents and often does not pay off. There is a common saying in the circle of extraordinary people: "To be omnipotent is to be totally incompetent." Among the magic fighters, even the strongest can only reach the level of "psychic warrior" and "magician" at most. Going further up, it is a realm that is beyond the reach of mortals. "Hey, this person is interesting." From the information Qi Ji knew, the magic fighter who possessed the strength of both a magician and a psychic warrior was extremely mysterious. Not to mention his nationality and identity, even his age, gender and even race were blank. The reason why everyone knows about his existence is simply that during a major event, many eyewitnesses witnessed the sudden appearance of an extremely powerful mysterious man. After displaying the magic abilities of a mage and the superb martial arts of a psychic warrior, causing chaos on the scene, he fled and disappeared without a trace. Therefore, some people have always doubted whether that powerful person really exists. Could he be just a combination of two high-level extraordinary people, or is it simply a rumor created by hearsay? In short, this character who almost only exists in rumors perfectly meets Qi Ji's requirements: The dragon is hard to find, powerful, strange, and full of controversy... "Well, then I will be the 'mysterious strong man'!"
So Qi Ji took on other people's titles without any psychological burden. Even if it is exposed in the future...it doesn't matter. It's just a temporary vest and I won't suffer any loss. "Moon Valley!?" Upon hearing the place name, the three members of Frion's team and the other members of the caravan were stunned at first, then their faces turned horrified, and the way they looked at Qi Ji suddenly changed. "Last year... Could it be that this Sharon was the one who..." "How could it not be possible? She admitted it herself!" "I was wondering how a warrior could possibly perform such an attack! If it was 'that person', then everything would make sense!" "'That' turned out to be a woman?" "She doesn't look that big, how can she be so strong?!" "..." The crowd was immediately in an uproar, with all kinds of discussions going on, and everyone scrambling to explain their ideas to the people around them. The knight, who had been calm all along, couldn't hold back any longer. He looked at Qi Ji with surprise and shock in his eyes, but he quickly put away all the surprise and returned to his original calm state. "You said you were the one who disrupted the wizard's gathering? What evidence do you have?" "There is no evidence, believe it or not." Qi Ji acted very coldly, without explanation, rebuttal or defense. The knight was silent, his eyes half-closed, and no one knew what he was thinking. But no matter what, Qi Ji's nonsense did divert the knight's attention from her household registration, and undoubtedly increased her weight in his heart, making him pay more attention to her. "So, can you answer everyone's questions?" Qi Ji brought the topic back to the beginning. After she pointed it out, the others also reacted and stopped discussing the rumors about "that adult". Instead, they shouted indignantly: "Sir Knight, please give us an explanation!" Chapter 57: The Magic Warrior of Moon Valley A year ago, a grand gathering was held in the "Moon Viewing Valley" area of the Stardust Federation in the east of the empire. The participants were all top mages and elders in various fields. There are five magicians in different fields alone, and there are countless high-level mages. They are all outstanding people with certain academic or practical attainments in magic. They can be said to be a gathering of heroes. However, halfway through the rally, a mysterious man suddenly showed up. According to some attendees, a fight broke out as soon as the mysterious man showed up. This person is very powerful, with spell abilities at the level of a magician. He also possesses heroic strength and precise movements. He is a top magic fighter who is both a magician and a psychic warrior! The most special thing about a magic fighter is that its strength is not the simple sum of a mage and a warrior. Because no matter how closely the two people cooperate, there will always be lags and omissions. Only by attributing the capabilities of both to oneself can we truly minimize inconsistencies and achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two. In general, the mysterious man who appeared at the Wangyue Valley Mage Gathering had a much stronger overall performance than the combination of a psychic warrior and a magic fighter. In a short period of time, he was able to fight on par with the elites present. In the end, although this person was defeated by the participants, this luxurious gathering could not go on and was aborted.
The mysterious and powerful magic fighter disappeared from then on and never appeared again. However, this action was so shocking that its deeds spread throughout the human world in a short time. Qi Ji learned these from the booklet given by the guild. It may not be accurate or comprehensive, but it is probably enough to fool people temporarily. Almost every extraordinary person had heard about that powerful person. Various discussions about that powerful person, such as his purpose, identity, whereabouts, etc., once became a great topic for adventurers to stir up the atmosphere after dinner. A year has passed and although the topic has declined in popularity, it has not been forgotten. Qi Ji grasped this point. She really had no evidence to prove that she was the strong man from Wangyue Valley, because she was not. But whether others ultimately believe it or not is not the most important thing. The important thing is to make the other party aware of this possibility and divert their attention to some empty topics that are unlikely to produce any results. Sure enough, after Qi Ji's trickery, the knight no longer ignored the questions from the caravan members. Instead, he raised his head, looked around at everyone, and then said in a serious and clear voice: "Everyone, I deeply regret the suffering your caravan has endured." He stretched out his glove-covered hand and pointed to the church bell tower towering in the distance behind him: "Due to some unexpected events, the church's 'Ritual of Resilience' malfunctioned temporarily, causing a small number of alien species in the forest to escape, leading to this tragedy. This was our mistake, and we are not to blame." "To express our apologies, we will immediately go deep into the Great Forest of the East Territory to find the nest of the dormant alien species and fundamentally solve the problem of alien species intrusion!" He suddenly raised his voice, drew the two-handed sword from his waist, and shouted to the four followers behind him: "Followers of the goddess, follow me into the mountains for the lambs of foreign lands!" As soon as he finished shouting, his body suddenly glowed with a layer of light yellow light, covering the five people in an instant. The group of people suddenly became like phantoms, moving rapidly. In an instant, they bypassed the caravan and rushed straight to the nearby East Territory Forest. "They...left?" For a moment, all the caravan members present were stunned, until the knight and his entourage disappeared among the dense and wild trees, and then discussions emerged from the crowd. The words of the Cathedral Knight seemed to explain something, but in fact they explained nothing. What do you mean by "some accidents"? Is there any difference between saying it and not saying it?! However, the knight's tone was too righteous and he walked too fast, so the caravan members present did not realize his perfunctory attitude at first. By the time they reacted, the five people had run away. "…Why do I feel like he's fooling us?" "Stop the fucking 'feeling', he's just fooling us!" "Who is your lamb? I am a believer of the setting sun!" "..." There was nothing people could do except curse the forest. They couldn't just abandon the bodies of the dead and the caravan's goods and chase after it, could they? "This guy is a coward." Qi Ji could see the knight's true thoughts.
From his point of view, regardless of whether Qi Ji is a demon fighter from Wangyue Valley, one fact is beyond doubt, that is, she possesses extremely strong strength, and the ravine on the ground is the most powerful proof. If Qi Ji was a regular strong man, then this church knight could still rely on the Holy Church of Grace behind him, and be certain that even if he was not the opponent, the other party would certainly not dare to provoke him. But if Qi Ji is really that powerful person, it is hard to say. After all, the thinking of a guy who broke into a major gathering of wizards from all over the human world to cause trouble cannot be guessed by ordinary people. No one can guarantee that such a madman will not do anything reckless, and he dare not gamble his own life to show off his strength. Admittedly, Qi Ji was most likely just bluffing, and the probability that he was really the magic fighter from Wangyue Valley was not high, but he could not afford to take the risk of that “one chance”.
