RPAGF Chapter 461 Crime
Chapter 461 Crime
Wenren Muyue went back to the family home to rest, while Brooke discussed with Bayin the matter of Wushuang Awakening mentioned by the Wushuang City Lord.
"The awakening seal was created by a powerful general or sorcerer. Who could it be?" Bayin asked.
"The Lord of Wushuang City doesn't know either. If he knew, perhaps he could find the other party and get more useful information." Brook said.
"The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms period was undoubtedly Lü Bu, but he is often described as headstrong and not very intelligent."
"Lü Bu is at Hulao Pass. We can ask him next time. However, it's highly unlikely he's the one who did it, otherwise the people of Wushuang City would have already figured it out."
"Next are Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others."
"It probably wouldn't be them. If Guan Yu could really create the Awakening Seal, he and Guan Ping wouldn't be trapped in Maicheng."
"That's a sorcerer. Zhang Jue, Zhang Bao, and a few others from the Yellow Turban Army are sorcerers. They do know some magic tricks like calling the wind, rolling stones, and summoning puppets, but their own strength isn't very strong..."
"Yes. We've been to the ancient battlefield of the Yellow Turban Rebellion many times. Zhang Jue finished it off in 3 minutes, and we didn't see them use the Awakening Seal. It couldn't have been them."
Bayin thought for a moment and said, "Could it be Yu Ji, the legendary figure killed by Sun Ce? Or Zuo Ci, the man who played a trick on Cao Cao?"
"These two are just legendary figures. They have never appeared on the ancient battlefield. Even if they were, we wouldn't be able to find them."
".....I'm going to look up some more information. Maybe I can find some clues." Bayin said.
"Really? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Why not take a break? There's no rush." Brooke said. If it could really be found, the Dragon Empire would have found it long ago.
"We have been in Wushuang City for the past two months and have not been to other wild maps. Mu Xue said that the Tuoba family's spies distributed in the city have not been withdrawn. Although we cannot quickly reach the 8th turn, if we can awaken Wushuang, we don't have to be afraid of the Tuoba family. Some things can only be hoped for if they are done; it is better to do them early than late." Bayin said.
Brooke nodded.
"I'm going to the library." Bayin left.
Brook returned to the room and sat cross-legged to rest.
Two hours later, Brooke woke up and checked the necklace. He found that Mu Yue was still sleeping in the room, while Bayin was still in the family library.
Brooke stepped out of the room and teleported to the south gate of Yongning. He still needed to collect more artifacts and continue to upgrade them. There were still some fragments of the divine weapon, so Brooke took one out and flew down.
※※※※※※※
It seems a lot of new zones have been added to Marfa: Zone 50: Changkong, Zone 56: Bishui, Zone 59: Taidou, Zone 60: Yunkai... Brook visited each one. However, the artifacts he found were few and far between, clearly not as easy to find as in previous zones. The artifact drop rates in these new zones are extremely low, and in some, there aren't even any artifacts at all.
He used up over 30 pieces of divine weapon fragments one by one, but gained very little. However, in Area 70, Xishi, Brook unexpectedly exchanged for a teleportation ring.
This teleportation ring was not exchanged with him by a warrior from another world, but by the weapon forging master of Shabak.
Originally, Brook was just going to upgrade his weapons, but the weapon master saw that Brook was extraordinary and had a lot of purple gold ores, so he took the initiative to propose an exchange: use the teleportation ring in exchange for 100 purple gold ores!
"Deal. I only have 60 pieces of purple gold ores, so I'll give them to you first. As for the remaining 40, I'll definitely get them for you next time I come. Master, may I ask you one more question, where did you get your teleportation ring?" Brook said.
"Hehe~ You might not believe this." The weapon master leaned close to Shao Yu and whispered, "A few days ago, a warrior from another world came to my place to upgrade his weapon and gave me this teleportation ring as an upgrade material!"
Brook suddenly realized that this was how it happened. That alien warrior was really careless.
Upgrading weapons only requires two pieces of jewelry, but most alien warriors don't understand this. They think the more jewelry, the better, so they pile it all into their backpacks and hand it all in. In reality, the weapon master doesn't forge the extra jewelry; instead, they keep it as extra income. One alien warrior accidentally handed over his teleportation ring, no doubt assuming it had been refined with the weapon upgrade. Little did he know, the ring wasn't lost, but had been snatched away by the weapon master.
"Master is so lucky."
"Haha~ I really hope this happens more often! You're quite straightforward, I like that. I'll give you the teleportation ring first. Remember to give me the remaining 40 purple gold ores next time!"
"Thank you, Master! I'll bring you a few more pieces when the time comes." Brook said with a smile.
"Haha~ That's great."
Brook bid farewell to the lucky weapon master and returned to the Dragon Empire. Then he came to the manor and, in the dead of night, came to the furnace of heaven and earth.
I already have three teleportation rings, but two months ago, Brook gave one to Wenren Muyue. Today, I got another one, so I can finally upgrade.
Brook took off the second-level teleportation ring he was wearing, along with three new teleportation rings, and carefully placed them into the furnace of heaven and earth.
The fire flickered, emitting a brilliant glow that illuminated Brooke with a dazzling array of colors. After a little over ten seconds, the glow faded, leaving only a ring inside. Brooke took it out.
The third-level teleportation ring has been upgraded successfully!
Brook put it on and disappeared. After a long time, he returned to the same place with a whoosh.
Brook smiled with satisfaction. A few sparkling snowflakes fell on his shoulders.
He took off the skill necklace on his body, took out three new skill necklaces from his backpack, and threw them into the furnace of heaven and earth.
Yes, the skill necklace is also complete.
Next is the defensive ring.
※※※※※※※
On this day, Brook took Wenren Muyue to kill minions in the 3-star difficulty Battle of Guandu.
This was the front line of the battlefield. Brook stood still, flanked by the Qiankun Shenglong Beast, one on each side. His defense was high, and the minions couldn't penetrate it. Brook reduced the surrounding minions to low health, while Wenren Muyue stood back, finishing off the attack with fire walls and meteor showers. Yuan Shao's soldiers rushed in relentlessly, destroying over 50 soldiers a minute, demonstrating his extremely efficient troop-killing efficiency.
"How's Mu Yue? Is she going too fast? Can she hold on?"
"I can! This place is really nice, it's so fast! If Sister Bayin comes, it will definitely be even faster."
"When you're done brushing, bring her here."
"Why is Sister Bayin reading so often lately? I asked her what she was reading, and she just said she was looking up information. She's clearly already read the books in her room once, but she's still reading them a second and third time. She even reads some chapters over and over again, sometimes pausing for ages to ponder, and I have no idea what she's thinking. I'm worried she's possessed."
"Haha, it's okay. That's how a person behaves when they're serious. Once she understands and figures it out, she'll naturally tell us the answer."
"Oh."
"How much attack power have you gained now?"
"It's already 4200. It's noon now, and I'm sure I can get to 4500 before the sun sets!"
"great, good luck."
Brook encouraged Wenren Muyue, and the two continued to kill the minions.
Suddenly, the compass beeped. Brook was startled. This was an ancient battlefield, where no outside information could be received. Unless that person had also entered the Battle of Guandu.
Every time before Brook and the other two entered the battlefield, they would inform Wenren Muxue in advance so that they could come to them in time if anything happened.
Could something big be happening? Brooke had a bad feeling. He opened the compass and saw a message from Wen Renzhong.
"Brook, hurry back to the family! Something's happened to Bayin. Tuoba Hongye has stormed into the family with over 200 Imperial City Guards! They want to capture and kill Bayin!"
"Okay Uncle Zhong, come out right away, 3 minutes!" After replying to the message, Brooke had already retreated to Wenren Muyue's side.
"Mu Yue, let's go kill Yuan Shao!"
With a whoosh, the two flew to Yuan Shao's base camp. They ignored the surrounding soldiers and directly killed the enemy commander, Yuan Shao.
※※※※※※※
Wenren family, main courtyard hall.
The hall and the courtyard were filled with people. On one side were the family members, led by Wenren Tianxiang, Wenren Muxue, and Wenren Bo; on the other side were the imperial guards, led by Tuoba Hongye, Wan Tiancheng, and Luo Xuan.
Bayin was protected by Wenren Muxue behind him.
"I heard that your legs have healed, but I didn't believe it at first. I didn't expect it to be true. Wenren Tianxiang, considering the contributions your Wenren family has made to the empire in the past, I advise you: get out of the way quickly! If you dare to shelter the criminals of the empire, it will not only be your legs that will be cut off, but also your head!" said Wan Tiancheng, the captain of the Imperial City Guard and a 7th-level master.
"Bayin is a senior guest of my Wenren family. If you suddenly come to arrest me, you must give me a reason." Wenren Tianxiang said solemnly.
"I've given you a reason. She committed a serious crime!" Wan Tiancheng said coldly.
"Bayin just went to the Wenhua Palace in the imperial city to check the information. What kind of crime did he commit? Tell me, Luo Xuan!" Wenren Tianxiang shouted.
"Brother Tianxiang. This matter involves royal secrets. I can't tell you, you can't hear it, and she can't watch it. Otherwise, it will be a capital crime! Brother Tianxiang, don't ask too many questions, and don't make any more fearless resistance. Everything can only be blamed on Bayin's bad luck." Luo Xuan sighed lightly.
Wenren Tianxiang remained silent.
"Bayin, what exactly happened?" Wenren Muxue couldn't help but turn around and ask.
Bayin shook his head slowly.
Luo Xuan had just said that this matter could not be disclosed. Otherwise, anyone who heard it would be sentenced to death.
Wenren Tianxiang's mind raced, unable to think of a solution. The Wenren family couldn't stand up to the imperial family; he couldn't handle Tuoba Hongye.
"You want to arrest someone, do you have an arrest warrant from the Ministry of Justice?" Wenren Tianxiang asked.
"Why should the Ministry of Justice intervene in royal affairs?" Wan Tiancheng said unhappily.
"So, do you have a decree from His Majesty?" Wenren Tianxiang asked again. He could only delay as much as possible. Wenren Zhong had already gone to Wushuang City to find Brook.
"This matter does not require a written order. If you want one, you can. I will ask His Majesty to give it to you later."
"This is against the rules!"
"Wenren Tianxiang, I've already given you enough face! I've said all the good things I could. If you continue to stop me, you're shielding a criminal."
"Even if Bayin committed a serious crime, my Wenren family can pay a sufficient price to atone for his sins. I will personally apologize to Your Majesty, even if it means handing over the Wenren family's most precious treasure, the Flame Ring! Anything can be negotiated." Wenren Tianxiang said again.
Flame ring? Wan Tiancheng paused and turned to look at Tuoba Hongye beside him.
Tuoba Hongye, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and exuded an intimidating aura.
Flame Ring? Haha, not enough!
"I'll say this once: Bayin, she's guilty of a capital crime! I'm taking her away. Anyone who dares to obstruct me will be guilty of the same crime!" Tuoba Hongye's voice was like a bell, echoing and circling in the hall.
If there is resistance here, he doesn't mind taking action. In fact, he really hopes that the Wenren family will resist, because his grandson Tuoba Li was indirectly killed by these people.
"Arrest them! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!" Wan Tiancheng gave an order and the imperial guards stepped forward.
Just when everyone in the Wenren family didn't know what to do, Bayin finally spoke:
"This matter has nothing to do with the Wenren family. You want to arrest me? Sure! The place here is too small and I can't use my magic. If you have the guts, come with me!" Bayin disappeared with a whoosh.
Seeing this, the Imperial City Guards stopped and retreated calmly. This kind of thing was no longer unusual.
Teleport and escape at any time? Haha, how could someone the Empire wants to capture escape?
I only heard Wan Tiancheng say:
"Pass on my orders: notify all teleportation points on the continent to forbid Bayin from leaving; notify Wuying Palace to send personnel to cast a sealing formation to prohibit random teleportation; notify the Imperial Guard to assist us in capturing and killing Bayin. No matter if he lives or dies!"
