Chapter 466: The Origin of the First Phantom Thief (Celebrating Being the Best Man Today)
Another half an hour passed, during which Xiaohui hardly spoke. Although he was just listening, he was able to filter out some important information and learned some inside stories about Xuanying. He finally understood her motives for committing crimes all over the world.
In short, everything is closely related to the major events that happened 15 years ago. Xiaohui doesn't know what happened exactly that year, and Xuanying didn't elaborate, but it triggered a series of chain reactions and produced extremely serious consequences.
First of all, the harm caused by this turmoil accidentally attracted the attention of Hoopa's other half, Shadow Hoopa, causing it to suddenly appear in a liberated form and invade Xuanying's country, causing many valuables to be lost and missing.
Later, influenced by the shadow Hu Pa, Hu Pa's real body woke up from his slumber. After several twists and turns, he shamelessly tried to scam Xuan Ying and kept pestering her, and has been dependent on her ever since.
Then in the same year, a similar thing happened in the diamond mining kingdom deep underground, the kingdom where the small diamonds depended for their livelihood.
The diamond mining country has the world's oldest and largest diamond, Koh-I-Noor, which emits colorful light. The interior of this ore stores a huge source of energy that supplies the entire country to enable it to operate normally. However, this peaceful life was broken by greedy humans.
On the day of the Diamond Mine National Celebration, humans caused an unprecedented riot, and Diancie and her ministers were called away to clean up the situation.
The Koh-i-Noor diamond was stolen and cut into countless small diamonds, which were then transported and sold around the world.
The diamond mining country has never recovered since then. Although Diancie can easily create diamonds, it can only solve the urgent problem temporarily and is not a long-term solution. She is helpless and has to seek help.
Based on the above reasons, this world-famous thief was born. However, in this vast world, how easy is it to find the lost treasure?
But even though the chances are slim, or even futile, Xuan Ying decides to give it a try. She uses the whole world as her stage to present people with one unforgettable and magnificent performance after another.
Xuanying's plans were, first, to retrieve Hupa's Punishment Pot, second, to collect the fragments of the Koh-I-Noor Diamond, third, to retrieve lost items commissioned by other countries, and fourth, to retrieve precious items of their clan.
All the items that Xuan Ying has her eyes on require some time to be authenticated to determine their authenticity. If they are not what she is looking for, they will basically be put back to their original place the next day.
But if the owner of the treasure is not upright, rich but unkind, or if the treasure is taken by improper means, she does not mind punishing him, acting like a chivalrous thief, robbing the rich to help the poor, reselling the treasure, and giving the money to those who really need it.
When it is confirmed that the stolen treasure is lost, Xuanying will usually offer money of equal value to the treasure as compensation. This is why she has a good reputation and is deeply loved by the people.
The reason why this mysterious thief acted with such fanfare and fanfare was to alert the masterminds behind the turmoil 15 years ago, causing them to lose their composure and reveal their flaws.
However, Xiaohui doesn't know what the specific content of that contract is.
After knowing the whole story, Xiaohui's mind suddenly became clear, and he completely let go of the slight vigilance he had towards Xuanying, because he found that this thief was an out-and-out good person.
In addition, the young man couldn't help but sigh inwardly that a lot of things really happened 15 years ago, and he happened to be born that year.
……
"You are really kind." Xiaohui said sincerely.
"Why do you think so?" Hoopa interjected.
"You even repaired the damaged mountain wall during the fight with the old man. You must be worried about affecting the people going up the mountain." Xiaohui's expression was very serious.
"You think too much. Don't overthink it. She's just meddling in other people's business." Hoopa said boredly, fiddling with his hands. He was used to this.
"I'm just doing what I think is right." Although it was just a casual remark made by the woman, it made Xiaohui respect her in his heart.
"Also, you lied." The boy said calmly.
"What do you mean?"
"You must have always remembered Vincent, otherwise you wouldn't have let them go so easily and given them a bottle of medicine."
"Hehe, quite perceptive, young man." Xuan Ying smiled.
"What I don't understand is, if you knew him, why didn't you admit it at the time?"
"If you get involved with me, you will get into big trouble." Xuan Ying also wanted to distance himself from the matter.
"Then I'm in danger." Xiaohui reacted immediately.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you. But if there are too many burdens, I won't be able to take care of them."
Xiaohui was a little shocked when he heard the word "burden". To be honest, it was really heartbreaking.
"Maybe you think I'm a good person, but some people who are hiding in the dark and plotting tricks don't think so. They are trying every possible way to get rid of me, a thorn in their side." Xuan Ying laughed at himself.
"Are those people you're referring to your enemies? Are they the culprits behind everything that happened 15 years ago?"
"You're only half right. In fact, some people have already been defeated by us, but they are from..."
Realizing that he had said too much, Xuan Ying changed the subject and said, "You'd better not ask anymore. This is not something a trainer of your level can interfere with."
"Oh..." Xiaohui was still very self-aware. After all, Xuanying was so powerful, and her enemies would not be weak either. As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. He didn't want to be involved.
"The topic seems to have gone too far, let's get back to the main topic."
"Excuse me, is this the Kalos area?" Xiaohui asked tentatively.
"Yes, this is near the Opera Garnier."
"I remember this opera house is the highest honor hall for elven musicians, right?"
"Right? The Opera Garnier is the dream stage that countless musicians have longed to perform on."
"This is my first time here." Upon hearing this, Xiaohui couldn't help but stand up and want to take a closer look at this magnificent modern opera house with a history of more than 30 years.
……
"Oh no..." At this moment, Hoopa's face suddenly darkened. He hurriedly opened the dimensional channel and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
At this time, Xuanying finally decided to get to the point. She didn't care where Hu Pa was going.
"I've read your work. It's very interesting, though I've only scratched the surface."
"Really? I didn't expect that the famous thief would watch my poor work." Xiaohui's focus was on the opera house not far away.
"But there's one name that I'm quite curious about."
