Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

The moment Jiang Li learned of the existence of this artifact, he decided to destroy it.

Of course, once he gets it, he has the final say on whether to destroy it or not.

"Hmm? Wait a minute!"

Jiang Li's body shook violently as if he was suddenly struck by lightning.

An insignificant fragment of memory flashed through his mind unconsciously.

"That body-changing necklace you mentioned, is it inlaid with blue gemstones?"

"Yes."

The female thief still spoke with great certainty, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

Jiang Li's eyes twitched violently.

His memory went back to the night of the dinner, when he saw Alice after being taken into the side hall by Claire.

She didn't have the Holy Sword Curry Stick with her at the time, but her skills still reacted.

Because she was wearing a sapphire necklace.

At that time, he thought that the royal family was really rich to carry two artifacts with them... but it turned out that they were presented by nobles, and it was obvious that they had bad intentions!

"Could it be that someone wants to get involved in the highest level of power in Belzec?"

Jiang Li covered his face.

My goodness, how come I was suddenly involved in such a large-scale conspiracy just by coming to the royal capital?

Donating the body-changing necklace to the royal family definitely means you want to exchange bodies with the royal family, right?

Using Alice as a springboard, it is entirely possible to exchange bodies with either the prince or the king. At that time, the country will fall into the control of unknown nobles in one fell swoop!

"That's what I guessed."

The female thief nodded in agreement with his inference.

"Then you won't spread the word?"

"I just found out yesterday, and I've been very busy these past few days, okay?"

"What could be more important than saving the royal family?"

"One of my enemies has escaped from his tortoise-shell barrier. I must keep an eye on him at all times!"

The female thief spoke vaguely and didn't really want to elaborate on the matter.

“算了，你叫什么名字？”

Jiang Li waved his hand and calmed his thoughts.

"I told you, what if you sell me out?"

"Am I like that kind of person?"

"Based on the brief contact, you are!"

"Okay, I'll go first."

Jiang Li shook his head speechlessly. He really didn't know when she had such a serious misunderstanding of me. This female thief really had no judgment on people.

"My name is Nanxiang, and I live in the Kingdom Public Hall."

He simply took off his hood and mask, revealing his true face.

The sudden shock of the female thief's true appearance suffocated her.

Even with all her years of experience, she had never met a man who could suffocate her and almost make her fall under his charm.

"...Are you a reincarnated person?"

It took her a while to come back to her senses, and she put her hand on her chest to suppress her wavering heart.

"You know about reincarnation?"

Jiang Li's face was full of surprise. Many people knew about the black-haired adventurer, but few knew the term "reincarnator".

"Uh, it's okay. I'm still well-informed."

She evaded the question in a vague tone, apparently not wanting to discuss it in depth.

"Okay, I've told you my real name, now it's your turn."

"Why do I have to tell you my real name?"

The female thief looked a little repulsive, as if she was unwilling to have too deep an entanglement with Jiang Li.

"If you don't tell me, I'm going to strip you naked right now, take hundreds of nude photos, print them out, and spread them everywhere."

"My name is Chris! I'm an ordinary thief. I live in a hotel on Southeast Street. I'm alone and have no companions. Thieves are just a hobby. I don't have much money, so I use it all to support the orphanage..."

The thief lady immediately spilled all the information.

As she spoke, she took off her mask, revealing short silver hair. Her face looked pretty, but there was a flesh-colored scar on her cheek, which somewhat destroyed the overall harmony.

"Very good. If anything happens later, I'll come to the hotel to find you."

After obtaining the identity information, Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction and planned to leave on the spot.

But suddenly, he stopped and looked at Chris thoughtfully.

"You're not going to take this opportunity to escape the hotel, are you? If I can't find you later, I'll be the one in trouble... How about I just strip you naked and take a few hundred nude photos first?"

Chris suddenly suffered cardiopulmonary arrest!

"Om-!"

She pushed with both hands suddenly, and a strong white light was released from her body.

The light came so suddenly that even Jiang Li was not prepared and subconsciously closed his eyes.

After the light disappeared, Jiang Li was the only one left in the dim alley.

Chris had disappeared.

"Teleportation magic? Or a teleportation scroll? But it doesn't look like it!"

Jiang Li shook his head with some regret, and at the same time marveled at it.

He was sure that Chris definitely did not escape by taking advantage of the strong light, but disappeared suddenly in the light. His perception could not be wrong.

"Also, why did that light just now have such a strong holy smell?"

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes.

After all, he had seen many gods, slept with two of them, and even witnessed a god being sent back to heaven with his own eyes.

The beam of light at that time was very similar to the strong light just now.

"High Priestess? No, her profession is clearly a thief. That's a divine weapon... In any case, she's no simple female thief, that's for sure."

After thinking for a while and still unable to come up with an answer, Jiang Li memorized the name Chris in his heart and quickly turned around and left.

the other side.

In a pure white space.

Aside from a chair, the place was almost empty.

The white around seemed to have no boundaries, vast and boundless, completely unlike what the human world should look like.

A holy light flashed, and the female thief Chris appeared on the chair.

But unlike before, the tights on her body disappeared at some point, replaced by a blue long dress. The scars on her face also disappeared without a trace, and her whole body exuded a strong aura of holiness.

"Huh...ha...huh..."

She was breathing heavily, occasionally holding her shoulders with trembling hands, with a look of having survived a disaster.

"Because I was so scared, I couldn't help but use my supernatural powers to escape back, and even forgot to hide my identity. He shouldn't be suspicious. He probably wouldn't recognize me because he hasn't seen my true face before..."

After a while, she finally calmed down and smiled bitterly with helplessness on her face.

"This is the first time I've been frightened by a mortal and fled back here!"

Chapter 564 The Demon King Wants to Take the Princess? (33)

2023-06-01

The next morning, Jiang Li came to the palace on his own initiative without waiting for Alice to send anyone to call him.

"Hey, do you really have to be so rigid? I've been in the palace for several days straight, and you can't even let me in?"

But at the palace gate, Jiang Li was blocked by the guards.

"I'm very sorry. We know you have a good relationship with Her Royal Highness, but today's situation is special and the palace is heavily guarded. Without Her Royal Highness's token, we can't let you in."

The guard looked at him with embarrassment.

"The situation is special? How special?"

Jiang Li frowned slightly. He really couldn't ignore this special situation, otherwise the cute little princess would turn into a greasy uncle in princess's clothing at any time!

"Someone broke into the palace last night!"

The two guards looked at each other and thought it was okay to tell him, so they explained it to him quietly.

"Breaking into the palace? Who is it?"

"do not know."

"What was the result? Were they caught?"

"If you caught him, you wouldn't be so nervous."

"It seems like there's absolutely no gain. This is the atmosphere in the palace."

The guard shook his head. They were just ordinary guards and didn't know so much.

No wonder they didn’t dare let Jiang Li in easily.

The criminal who broke into the palace has not been found, and the entire palace must be under martial law.

"Help me find Alice, or Rain, and tell her I'm here to visit."

Jiang Li took out two banknotes and handed them to the two of them.

"Hold on."

The two of them accepted it calmly, and then one of them walked into the palace.

After a while, one of Alice's guards, the magician Rain, arrived at the city gate.

"Mr. Nanxiang, you should go back."

Rain's expression was indescribable.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Jiang Li scratched his cheek and said unhappily, "I said I wanted to find Alice. I have something very important to do, and it endangers her personal safety!"

"Her Royal Highness is now in a personal crisis."

Rain sighed, looking unhappy.

"His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Prince have returned from the front lines. The entire palace is now under martial law, and no one is allowed to see Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"What happened?"

Jiang Li asked in a serious tone, the commotion was really loud, it didn't seem like an ordinary fight.

"It's because of last night."

Rain's face was gloomy, and her expression looked like a bitter melon.

"Last night, someone broke into the palace and threatened to kidnap the princess. This alarmed all the guards, but they ultimately failed to apprehend him. The palace's security is now several times tighter than ever!"

Good guy!

Seize the princess?

Who is this thief and why is he so bold?
