Standing behind Ji Xing and listening to the clear footsteps going upstairs, Drizzt's body and expression were extremely stiff, and he did not respond to Graves' doubts.

No, this is impossible.

The vague connection with the cards is his innate talent. During these years of traveling around the world, he has come to understand this talent - a magical ability that is born with him.

There are indeed two types of mages in Rune Continent. One type is born with unique magical abilities that continue to grow with experience and training, and the other type is mastered through systematic learning.

Oh, if forced to classify, there may be another type of people who gain magical abilities due to the influence of certain magic items or magical creatures.

As the former, he has seen many situations similar to his own, but he has never encountered anyone with the same magic as him.

The 200 hex gold coin ticket in his arms and Ji Xing's meaningful 'tuition fee' made him have exaggerated conjectures. Even if he repeatedly told himself that it was impossible, he still found it difficult to let go.

Just... after playing cards for two hours, he learned my card divination?!

He now only hoped that the person who came up from the stairs was not the real Miss Fortune, and when the ordinary-looking female figure appeared, he did let out a long sigh of relief.

According to rumors, Miss Fortune is famous for her beauty that can make people lose their guard. Although he has never seen it, she should not be so ordinary!

At this time, he heard Ji Xing say: "The disguise skills are good, you have talents on board."

"I just picked up a girl, and I haven't found out the details yet." Sarah showed a warm smile: "And you can see it at a glance? Welcome to Bilgewater, plug... Well, you still bring

Did you get two men?"

"No, they are here to collect the bounty from me." Ji Xing said: "Your current stronghold is a mansion on the cliff mountain to the east?"

Sarah narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the two people behind Ji Xing who were slightly nervous, and said, "Why do you think they look familiar, Graves? Have you been released from prison? And Trace."

Special...these two guys are pretty famous in Bilgewater."

"Sorry, Miss Fortune, you are famous." Drizzt smiled stiffly.

Really Miss Fortune?!

How on earth is this done?!

The fingertips of his right hand hidden in his sleeve were constantly turning over a card. Every time he turned it over, the color of the card would change in the order of blue, red, and gold. However, whenever he was particularly nervous, the order would change.

chaos.

The colors are so messy now.

Graves' hand also touched the barrel of the shotgun in his arms, observing Drizzt's face.

At this time, Ji Xing took out two Hex gold tickets with a face value of 100 from his arms, and handed them to the two of them together with a stamped reward list.

"Now that it has been verified, the bounty should be settled. This time it has to be based on the gold coin value exchange rate. This is two hundred. You can still get fifty with this document. You should be better than me in the specific process.

clear."

"I……"

"Take it, see you later." Ji Xing smiled and said, "If you go to Piltover, you can go to Feros's house to find me. My real name is Sewell. Even if I'm not here, Gray Lady will come first

Arrange yours properly."

"...Sevier? From the universal capsule?!"

"Well, just leave this deck of cards to me as a souvenir and token." Ji Xing cut the cards in his hand and turned to see off the guests.

Drizzt didn't want to stay for a long time. With that stiff smile, he walked out of the room with Graves, bowed slightly to say goodbye to Sarah, and quickly went downstairs.

It wasn't until he was far away from the Redbud Inn that Drizzt let out a long breath, and for a moment he felt that his whole body was wet with sweat.

He has never experienced this kind of tension!

"Tobias, what happened just now? That guy..." Graves was confused, feeling that something was wrong everywhere but not knowing what was wrong.

"Idiot, he said he is Sevier, the Sevier who invented the universal capsule, and the Sevier who destroyed Gangplank with Miss Fortune!"

"You bastard..." Graves subconsciously retorted after being scolded, then frowned and muttered: "The scientist who invented the universal capsule? He will come to Bilgewater in person? The Gray Lady of Piltover is actually willing to

?Not afraid..."

"He has nothing to be afraid of. Haven't you seen it yet? He is far more than a scientist. Anyone who wants to attack him is probably asking for his own death!" Drizzt said.

Judging from the cause and effect, I'm afraid he is a mage, and a mage who can roughly master my card magic in just two hours!

Drizzt even had a terrifying suspicion in his mind. What was the 'secret weapon' that destroyed the Abyss? Was it really a weapon?

"...He invited us to Feros, is he trying to recruit the two of us?"

"Maybe." Drizzt responded in a low voice: "But I don't want to see him again at all."

Never want to see you again!

…

In the hotel room, Sarah naturally noticed that Drizzt and Graves were unnatural and even panicked, but this was perfectly normal.

How could they, just two notorious liars, take advantage of Seville?

She unceremoniously sat down on the sofa and said, "I didn't expect you to really come, so I breathed a sigh of relief."

"Are you feeling very embarrassed lately?" Ji Xing asked.

"Fortunately." Sarah spread her hands: "The bastards on the island are not really a problem. I just don't want to become another Gangplank. I want to play with them more. It will be solved in a year or so. But now

We are facing bigger troubles."

She looked at Ji Xing: "I want to apologize to you first. My purpose of inviting you to Bilgewater is not pure. Sewell, have you ever heard of...'Soul-eating Night'?"

"Well, I heard you and Raven talking about this word after we separated last time." Ji Xing replied.

Sarah's expression froze, and after two seconds she showed a helpless smile: "You are really..."

He always calmly does amazing things and says amazing words. The ‘conspiracy’ between me and Raven is a joke in your eyes?!

"Okay, that's easier to explain." She was also single and changed the topic directly: "A few hundred miles south of Bilgewater, there is an island called 'Shadow Island'.

It is a forbidden place for the living and a gathering place for the dead souls. The only good thing is that the dead souls can only move in the black mist on the island, which is why Shadow Island is not known to too many people.

The Night of Souls is a special day on the Shadow Island once a year. The black fog on the island will continue to expand outwards, and the scope of action of the undead will also increase. Bilgewater, which is close to the Shadow Island, will bear the brunt and will be attacked by some undead.

."

Undead? Interesting.

What made Ji Xing accept Miss Fortune's invitation was not friendship or anything else, but the word "soul" in Soul Eating Night.

Compared to a body that can only accumulate strength to improve itself bit by bit, Ji Xing's soul when it invades the world is always very special.

According to normal development, as a human being, it would be difficult for him to reach the level of the Star-casting Dragon King, the strongest creature naturally raised in the Alliance Universe. Only by finding a way to activate the power of the soul can his improvement be almost unlimited.

'Speaking of which, after invading so many worlds, I haven't tried necromancy magic yet, right? If reincarnation in the filthy soil of the Naruto world doesn't count...'

He looked at Sarah and motioned for her to continue.

"In the past, it was Gangplank who led Bilgewater to resist the Soul-Eating Night, and this was barely the only good thing he did." Sarah said: "Of course, that guy's approach was simple and crude, and it was just to let the seamen who took refuge in him

The thieves can just act as cannon fodder and survive the night when the dark fog expands.

I have to do better than Gangplank, but this time the Night of Souls is too close, so I wanted to ask you for help, Sevier."

"How long is too close?"

"Within half a month, maybe tomorrow?" Sarah said: "The spreading speed of the black mist is different every time, so the Soul-eating Night is not an exact day."

Ji Xing nodded and quickly switched the cards in his hand. Sarah couldn't help but look over.

"Speaking of which, you have been playing with this deck of cards since we met. You got them from Drizzt, right? Is there any problem?"

"Drizzt has a magic at his disposal."

Sarah was startled: "He? Magic?!"

"Card magic." Ji Xing said: "Before you came here, I played the wheel of death with him for two hours and lost 200 gold coins to him. Because every card is vaguely attached to the magic power he released unconsciously.

Give him guidance."

"Then you still..."

"It's every one, including the ones I caught in my hand." Ji Xing said with a smile: "In the eyes of a mage of my level, it's like he was breaking down and demonstrating to me how his magic works."

Sarah's expression slowly became strange.

"So... the notorious fraudster was deceived by you? He was deceived by magic? Does his card magic have any other uses besides gambling?"

At the same time, Ji Xing stopped cutting the cards, slowly pulled out three cards from the pile and arranged them on the table in front of him, saying: "It can also be used for divination. Just wait for me here for a while. I'll do it when I get to Bilgewater."

I feel like I'm being stared at by something, and I can't even take my eyes away. I'll go see what he's looking at, and then come back to you."

The breeze stirred, and his body floated up with great lightness, and he flew out of the window.

Sarah was stunned, was she being targeted by something? After pondering solemnly for a few seconds, she shook her head repeatedly. The girl reminded me of Nautilus inexplicably.

Having said that, knowing magic is really convenient.

…

The result given by the divination card was that the opponent's position could change drastically at any time, so Ji Xing, who controlled the wind, used all his strength. He seemed to have really turned into a gust of wind. Ordinary people could not even see the afterimage, only he was by his side.

When it blew by, I was suddenly blown away by the evil wind and screamed.
