Chapter 257 The First Dance
"This is not a real crow, but a tracking technique called the Name-Seeking Crow." The blond young man said slowly, "This technique is very famous. It is the signature tracking technique of the curse style. It is very effective and can cross the void. sea, locking the location of the magician on the other side."
Tang Xuan's face was ashen. If he returned to his own world with this technique unknowingly, Bamachus could follow this technique to find his world, and the consequences would be self-evident.
"Not only that, he can also use the name-seeking crow as a medium to release spells remotely." The blond young man continued, "But don't worry, I will remove this spell for you right now."
He didn't ask for any reward, he just started, and the vortex symbol in his palm lit up with a faint golden light.
"etc!"
Tang Xuan suddenly stopped him.
The blond young man stopped and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"I am a person who cannot afford to suffer, and revenge cannot last overnight." After Tang Xuan brewed his emotions for a while, he shouted loudly: "Butler!"
The butler's gray cat quietly appeared on the table.
“Dear guest”
The gray cat noticed the crow on Tang Xuan's shoulder. It instantly recognized the technique and its voice became serious: "Name-seeking crow, who released this to you?"
Tang Xuan said angrily: "Who else could it be!"
A light film appeared in front of the gray cat again, and what happened after Bamachus appeared was replayed on the light film. When Bamachus put his hand on Tang Xuan's shoulder, the gray cat put his left front paw into the light film and scratched the back of Bamachus' hand hard.
puff!
The crow on Tang Xuan's shoulder shrank inward like a frustrated doll, turning into a burst of black smoke and floating upward.
There was a piercing scream in the distance.
"Ouch!"
The scream was so loud that it drowned out the music in the banquet hall. The guests looked in the direction of the sound and saw Bamachus with an ugly face.
Balmachus stood there holding his wrist and trembling all over. The blood dripped onto the floor, and soon there was a blood stain.
The guests around Parmachus had moved away from him, leaving an open space around him. The customer with a quick mind guessed who made the move, and looked at him with curiosity in his eyes.
Parmachus was shaking, not with pain, but with anger.
He naturally knew what was going on. Tang Xuan must have discovered the technique he left behind and complained to the gray cat butler.
What's the point of complaining?
Can’t afford it?
If you look carefully, you can easily spot the scars on the back of his hand. They are three claw marks that are deep enough to show the bone. Dark purple light was still shooting out from the claw marks, as if it was still releasing destructive power.
Parmachus endured the severe pain, reached out and took out a small squirming green insect, crushed the insect into juice with two fingers and applied it to the wound.
The dark purple light was suppressed, and Bamachus's face looked slightly better, but before he could relax for two seconds, the purple light in the claw marks suddenly became stronger, and the juice of the green bug was burned out as a dye, which was stronger than before. Ten times the pain spread to the entire palm along with spiderweb-like purple lines.
Parmachus's entire right hand turned purple, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from shouting.
This is the punishment of the mysterious cat clan.
Even with his experience as a senior conjurer, he couldn't tell what was contained in this claw mark. He didn't dare to act rashly. If he couldn't prescribe the right medicine, he could only wait for time to erase what was inside. God knew how long it would suffer.
Resentment burned in his heart.
The blond young man looked at the gray cat with admiration: "As expected of the steward of the mysterious cat clan, he can use the art of time and space interference so easily and comfortably."
Space-time interference?
Tang Xuan pricked up his ears. Because of the game board, he was very interested in such words.
"The art of time and space is a special skill that our family has learned from the rare treasures in the void." The butler Gray Cat said to Tang Xuan, "Sorry, dear guest, I have once again brought you an unpleasant experience."
Tang Xuan was silent for two seconds and then asked: "Void treasure?"
He knows a little about the Void Treasures. If he guessed correctly, the Void Treasures related to time are the space-time coins on the game board. But if the mysterious cat clan's time and space skills were learned from the time and space coins, they should have mastered the time and space coins for a period of time. Then how did the time and space coins get into the hands of [Jiu Gu] later?
Judging from Ukiyo Mew's reaction, it seems that the mysterious cat clan is not interested in [Jigu]. What happened in the meantime?
"There are eight treasures with strange abilities in the void."
The gray cat butler's first words made Tang Xuan frown.
This is different from what the game board told him. There should be nine Void Treasures. Which eight pieces are the mysterious cats? Which one is the one they don't know? Why did they miss that one? One piece?
He asked: "Which eight items are they?"
The gray cat butler opened his mouth, but Tang Xuan didn't hear any sound. He looked at the gray cat butler in confusion.
The gray cat butler explained: "You are not strong enough to leave any impression on them."
Tang Xuan remembered what the game board had said to him before. He was too weak to have any concept of the void treasures, including their names, abilities, properties, ownership and other information related to them.
Tang Xuan nodded slowly: "I understand."
The gray cat butler continued: "I'm sorry, I just brought you another unpleasant experience. I have eliminated the name-seeking crow, and Bamachus has also been punished. I believe he will leave here soon."
The scene on the light film in front of the gray cat began to flow, revealing the figure of Bamachus. Bamachus covered his purple right hand, stepped into the air, and disappeared from the spot.
The gray cat housekeeper said slowly: "He is gone."
Because Bamachus actually only offended Tang Xuan once, the Crow of Seeking Name was negligent and did not notice it before, so it did not take the initiative to expel Bamachus and leave the hostile mark of the mysterious cat clan on him, but punished him with severe means.
The gray cat housekeeper apologized to Tang Xuan again, and promised to focus on what happened around Tang Xuan in the next period of time, and never let any factors interfere with his mood, and then left again.
After solving the problem of the Name-Seeking Crow, Tang Xuan asked the blond youth: "Who is that Bamachus? Is he a pursuer of His Highness Fushimeow?"
The blond youth seemed to remember something, and his face showed undisguised disgust. He slowly said: "He is the leader of a newly rising sorcerer organization. He is eager to improve his voice in the void and has done many absurd things."
Tang Xuan probed: "For example?"
"He owns ten sorcerer worlds." The blond youth said slowly, "No one knows how he got these ten worlds, and no one knows where the original residents of these worlds went."
Tang Xuan's eyes stagnated slightly.
"There are many similar things, but there is no evidence for them all." The blond youth sighed, "I don't know if he wants to pursue His Highness Fushimeow, but it's not surprising if he has this idea. He has done too many crazy things."
Tang Xuan's vigilance against Bamachus went up a level. He offended Bamachus so much today, and Bamachus must be resentful.
But this matter is really inexplicable.
An idea suddenly popped up in his mind. If there is a chance, he must be killed.
"The Name-Seeking Crow is the signature tracking spell of the sorcerer. I wonder if you have other tracking spells." The blond young man said with concern, "If he is determined to find you, he still has a chance to track you down by following the cause and effect relationship between the two of you."
Tang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
He quickly asked, "What do you mean by following the cause and effect to find me?"
"This is an unsolvable tracking method, but the cost of using it is very high, and it can only succeed if both parties are in close contact." The blond young man looked at Tang Xuan and thought for a few seconds before saying, "If he doesn't come to your world within three days after the banquet, you don't have to worry anymore."
Tang Xuan nodded slowly, his heart becoming heavy. If Bamachus follows him to find the Federation, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the Federation.
The blond young man saw that Tang Xuan was in a heavy mood, and he comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much. [Ji Gu] is paying attention to you. He is very mysterious. You should know him a little. He will not be defeated easily by Bamachus."
Tang Xuan felt a little relieved.
He had no idea about [Ji Gu]'s strength, but because of the origin of the mysterious cat and the space-time coin, he knew that [Ji Gu] was definitely not an ordinary void strongman.
If [Ji Gu] uses the space-time coin to make a move, he should be much stronger than the gray cat butler. But the question is whether [Ji Gu] knows what happened here and whether he can make a move.
Tang Xuan has not seen [Ji Gu] even once so far. He has only had a few direct or indirect conversations through the game board. Some time ago, when the game board was seriously injured, [Ji Gu] did not help.
The blond young man sighed softly: "I really want to help you, but I am in the probation period of the family. The family will not help me do anything, and I can't beat Bamachus."
Tang Xuan didn't know whether the blond young man said this from the heart, but the blond young man did help him. He thanked him again: "No need, you can help me find the name-seeking crow, which has helped me a lot. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, please let me know. As for Bamachus, I will think of a way."
The blond young man smiled and said: "Your ability is good. If it is as powerful as on the chessboard in reality, you can try to talk to other guests. Maybe they will be willing to help you."
He was talking about [Friends of Women].
On the chessboard, [Friends of Women] is so strong that it can plunder the female chess pieces covered by his [Born Leader]. It's like a cheat.
If [Friends of Women] in reality can also make female guests feel good about Tang Xuan, Bamachus's threat will be broken.
After all, those who can attend this banquet are either powerful or have a strong background, and most people are not afraid of Bamachus.
If they all speak out to protect Tang Xuan, Bamachus will not dare to act rashly.
But Tang Xuan rejected the suggestion of the blond youth without hesitation. He shook his head and said, "I can't approach everyone with this purpose. There are too many deliberate elements of exploitation. My conscience is not right."
The blond youth was stunned.
He stared at Tang Xuan for a while, and suddenly there was an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face. He praised: "No wonder you can become a [Friend of Women]!"
[Friend of Women] is an ability to quickly close the relationship with women, which is not something that those who want to take advantage of women can obtain.
Although Tang Xuan obtained this title skill through [Hero Power], [Hero Power] itself has a subtle influence on people's character. It gave him [Friend of Women] and also gave him a mentality that is compatible with [Friend of Women].
The blond youth looked at Tang Xuan with warmer eyes, and asked, "How is your relationship with [Ji Gu]?"
Tang Xuan was confused and said, "Not bad, what's wrong?"
The blond youth said enthusiastically, "If you think [Ji Gu] will not help you fight against Bamachus, you can actually consider joining me. As long as you are willing to sign a contract to become my partner, my family will protect you, and Bamachus will not dare to do anything to you."
Tang Xuan frowned when he heard it.
The blond youth noticed the change in Tang Xuan's face, and he hurriedly explained, "The partner contract is an equal relationship. Its function is to summon each other across the void and ensure that the other party cannot harm themselves in any form."
"This kind of contract is very precious. I only collected two with the help of my family." The blond youth explained, "If you sign a partner contract with me, we can benefit each other."
Tang Xuan's brows relaxed.
If it's just like this, it sounds good, and the trouble of Bamachus really needs to be solved.
[Ji Gu] may not be reliable.
Tang Xuan thought for a while and asked, "Since you only have two contracts, why did you think of signing with me? I have neither background nor strength."
The blond young man saw Tang Xuan's resignation and smiled brightly: "Because I think you are a good person and can be friends with me."
Tang Xuan was puzzled: "That's it?"
The blond young man nodded seriously: "Yes, it's that simple."
Tang Xuan was silent.
He felt that the reason why the blond young man signed a contract with him must not be as simple as he said, but he also needed help at this time, and the contract was provided by the blond young man, so he just had to nod.
The contract was very loose, only restricting both parties from harming each other, and a cross-void mutual summoning. Anyway, he didn't have the intention to harm others, and signing it would only make money and not lose.
So he thought for a while and agreed: "I am willing to sign this partnership contract with you, where do we sign it?"
The blond young man's eyes lit up.
"It's here!"
He stretched out his hand and brushed on the table, and a yellowed and simple sheepskin scroll suddenly appeared in the empty place.
The parchment roll exuded an ancient atmosphere. Tang Xuan used the [Common Language] to take a closer look. The content of the contract was exactly the same as what the blond young man told him.
Tang Xuan called again: "Butler!"
The butler gray cat appeared on the table.
This was the third time Tang Xuan called it, but it was not impatient at all. It asked gently: "Dear guest, what do you want this time?"
Tang Xuan said politely: "Please identify this contract for me and be a witness for us."
