Start with Awakening the Spirit

Imperial capital, nightfall.

The sky was gloomy, as if it was about to rain, and the darkness seemed to foreshadow something.

The Imperial Capital Cultural Relics Research Institute is a well-known secret cultural relics research base in the Xia Kingdom. It has researched a variety of important technologies and secrets from cultural relics.

Ever since a trainer found the cultural relics in the ruins from the secret realm, the Imperial Capital Cultural Relics Research Institute has been assigned some cultural relic research work.

The Imperial Capital Cultural Relics Research Institute is located in the High-Tech Development Zone, in a relatively prosperous area of ​​Imperial Capital, with many high-tech companies nearby.

Near the Imperial Capital Cultural Relics Research Institute, there is also Thirteenth Street, a well-known night market in the Imperial Capital.

Every night, the place is bustling with lights, people coming and going, and it’s so lively.

"Clap--!"

Imperial Capital Cultural Relics Research Institute, a six-story building near the street. I don’t know what happened, but the glass on the fifth floor suddenly shattered.

"Boom bang—"

Glass fell to the ground and flew everywhere.

Pedestrians screamed and ran away, and some were unlucky enough to get stabbed.

Simply put, many people visiting the night market had elves, so there was no time of death or injury.

Others raised their heads and looked upstairs.

The next moment, a vigorous figure quickly shuttled across the roof, and its white hair and leaf-shaped arms were vaguely visible.

"Wow! Wow..."

A group of big wolfhounds and black dogs followed and leaped down from the window.

Followed closely by a group of guards!

"Big wolfhound, growl!"

"Heruga, shoot flames!"

Following the command of the guards, the two elves were preparing moves with their own attributes.

"Boom!"

The power spread wantonly, and the curiosity of the crowd immediately turned into panic.

"Guard? Is it a terrorist attack?"

"What kind of terrorist attack? That's the Imperial Capital Cultural Relics Research Institute. There must be a thief trying to steal the cultural relics, and then he was discovered!"

"You still have time to chat? Didn't you see that the buildings were destroyed? Why don't you run away!"

"The Institute of Cultural Relics must have lost something important. There are so many people in the night market, but you didn't see that the guards had no intention of holding back!"

Many people took photos and uploaded them online, while not forgetting to leave the dangerous area quickly.

Most of the people who come to the night market are ordinary people. Although they have never owned elves, they are still very aware of the destructive power of elves, so they quickly stay away from this place.

The guards chased the thief away!

The police force of the Imperial Capital is worthy of recognition, not to mention that there is a security branch near the Imperial Capital Research Institute. Soon, a heavily armed elf investigation and security team rushed over.

They quickly evacuated the crowd, blocked all major traffic points, and immediately went to the crime scene to find out more about the situation at the research institute.

After learning that an elf had stolen an important cultural relic just obtained from the secret realm, and that the cultural relic was suspected to be related to the ancient slip, the god of wood disaster enshrined by the disaster group, the captain of the guard team immediately reported it to the police Superior.

When the superiors heard the news, they were furious and immediately ordered the Imperial Capital Cultural Relics Research Institute to be sealed off.

How did the thief know exactly where the artifact was?How did you know the guard's patrol route that night?There must be enemy spies inside the Imperial Capital Cultural Relics Research Institute!

The Imperial Capital Cultural Relics Research Institute is under immediate martial law!

Not long after, after the important cultural relics were stolen, the guards who were responsible for guarding the cultural relics and chasing the thieves came back in disgrace.

Not only did they fail to recover the cultural relics, but the news they brought made everyone's hearts sink. The cunning tengu who stole the cultural relics and his companion, a telepathic clay puppet, suddenly appeared, and then teleported away with the cunning tengu.

This is a planned and premeditated action!

It also involves elves that can move instantaneously. This matter may not be that easy to investigate!

On the other side, the Nianli Doll teleported to an abandoned factory with the cunning Tengu.

After confirming that there was no danger, the telepathic earth puppet erased the remaining spatial markers and flew towards a barren mountain with the cunning tengu.

"Whoosh-"

The cunning tengu quickly disappeared into the jungle like a fish entering the sea.

After confirming that the cunning tengu was safe, the teleportation puppet also teleported away.

When it reappeared, the Nianli Doll returned to a villa in Shishahai, the imperial capital!

Shishahai Villa Area is well-known as the most green villa area in the Imperial Capital. There are only 99 villas in the entire community.

90% of the area is green!

Among them, there are only ten villas close to Shishahai, and each one has a sky-high price.

The people who live here are either rich or noble!

The villa No. 5 that the Nianli Tugu entered was one of the ten villas near Shishahai.

………………

Last night's "Imperial Cultural Relics Research Institute cultural relics theft incident", after a night of fermentation, has been uploaded to the Internet.

Jiang Xiao sat on the lounge chair in the hotel and frowned as he looked at the text message in his hand.

He also knew about the rumors on the Internet and even inquired about the situation.

The text message was sent by Professor Xu!

In terms of connections in the imperial capital, Jiang Xiao also knew that Professor Xu had the strongest connections!

The content of the letter is roughly like this.

A while ago, two or three days before Jiang Xiao came out of the secret realm, a team member from Imperial University brought back a scroll of ancient slips from the secret realm.

There is nothing strange about the ancient slip itself, but the institute translated the ancient text on it and found that the content recorded on it is related to the legendary god of disaster "Gu Jian Snail".

Somehow, this news was learned by the members of the Disaster Group hidden in the Imperial Capital, and they planned this cultural relic theft operation.

Originally, this ancient scroll was supposed to be secretly sent to a more heavily guarded research institute, but the information on it was studied that day and was stolen tonight. Everyone can see the problems inside.

Professor Xu didn't say anything about the spies, and Jiang Xiao didn't ask. It was none of his business anyway.

"I don't know what the information on the ancient scroll involves, but it actually caused the imperial capital to enter a level three alert state. I heard that there will be a top-down screening within the system!"

Jiang Xiao murmured softly, but there was a feeling of storm in his heart.

Shaking his head, he put this matter in his heart.

Jiang Xiao left the hotel, ready to taste the delicious food of the Imperial Capital, since he had nothing to do anyway.

According to the information he received, those trainers who had entered the secret realm were allowed to enter again in principle, but if they wanted to go in again, it would not be so easy.

Every entrant needs to pay a certain amount of adventure money. No matter what inheritance or secret treasure you get in the secret realm, or you find nothing, or you are killed by the elves in the secret realm, this exploration money cannot be recovered.

According to the information obtained from Professor Xu, the expedition fund is as high as one billion, and it is also an elf resource worth one billion.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao immediately discovered the idea of ​​​​going in again. There are [-] billion worth of elf resources. If you want to collect them in a short time, it is impossible without [-] billion.

In addition, if a large number of people want to enter, there will definitely be a shortage of resources in the market, and prices will definitely skyrocket.

But you must know that the official determination of the value of elf resources is based on the current price.

The official is the organization that has the most elf resources. You can taste it carefully... you can taste it carefully...
