The Wizarding Age: I Can Explain Everything

Chapter 77 Gu Lin’s Bet

binge drinker!
Gu Lin suddenly looked solemn.

Pei Ze's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Reveler is almost the equivalent of a legendary knight who has mastered the element of earth.

If she meets a strong man of this level, she will have no ability to resist at all, and she will be considered lucky if she can escape.

"So many wizards and legendary knights teamed up, how could a drinker escape?" Gu Lin frowned.

Fan He shook his head: "The binge drinker happened not to be in the stronghold that night. It was only after the city guards interrogated other prisoners that they found out that such a person existed."

Pei Ze and Gu Lin nodded in relief.

At this time, there was a commotion at the door, and the generals of the city guards headed by Yan Zhen pushed the door and walked in.

Hornan was among them.

He wandered around the crowd for a while, and happened to meet Pei Ze's gaze.

Pei Ze smiled slightly.

The corners of Huo Nan's eyes twitched, and he looked away expressionlessly.

After the generals were in place, it was still the tall officer who explained the next action plan to everyone.

The general content is similar to what Fan He just said, but the details are more specific.

"All teams will assign patrol areas later, and patrols will start tomorrow night. Your task is to find out the heretics hiding in the responsible area and kill them."

"In addition, if the patrolling soldiers find heretics and send out a signal for help, the nearby teams should rush to support them as soon as possible."

"Then how do we find heretics?" asked an apprentice wizard, raising his hand.

The tall officer was obviously prepared for this problem. He took out an item from his arms and placed it in his palm to show it to everyone.

It was somewhat similar to a human index finger, but it seemed to be completely dehydrated, with a wrinkled gray-white skin, and sharp nails on the fingertips.

"This is a finger taken from the devil's body. It has been refined into a temporary magic item by the wizards. As long as you get close to the Abbepu believers within 500 meters, you can sense the devil's breath on them. The effect is about for a month."

Everyone looked relieved.

With this item, finding heretics is much easier.

Although there is a 500-meter range limit, it is still better than wandering around like a headless fly.

"We will distribute one item to each team later." The tall officer put away his fingers and said in a deep voice, "In addition, according to the information we have obtained, there is a binge drinker among the remnants of the heretics. The existence of the drinker, please issue a warning immediately, and try to delay the other party until the reinforcements arrive."

As soon as these words came out, there was a buzz of discussion in the crowd.

Many wizard apprentices frowned.

The binge drinkers are existences at the level of legendary knights. Where do they have the ability to deal with each other?
If we really encounter him, we won’t be able to escape immediately!

Many wizard apprentices secretly made up their minds that if they encountered a reveler, they would turn around and run away without saying a word.

They are here to earn merit points, not to work hard.

The tall officer obviously understood this too. He took everyone's reaction into his eyes and didn't say much. He waited until the crowd's discussion became weaker before he raised his voice and said, "Then start assigning patrol areas."

Because the area was expanded to cover the entire northern area of ​​the outer city, the area each team was responsible for this time was more than ten or twenty times larger than before.

It would take more than half a month to search the entire area carefully.

After that, each wizard apprentice received a piece of the devil's finger.

Pei Ze was no exception. What he got was a thumb, which was like holding a cold stone in the palm of his hand.

Walking out of the command hall, Fan He took the lead to say goodbye and leave.

Watching Fan He go away, Gu Lin suddenly smiled and said: "Pei Ze, let's compete this time to see who gets more merit points next, how about it?"

Pei Ze glanced at her and asked, "What's the bet?"

Gu Lin rolled his eyes and raised two fingers: "How about twenty magic stone coins?"

Pei Ze frowned, twenty magic stone coins are enough to buy a shimmer-level magic item, Gu Lin is so confident?

I'm afraid there are other more effective means of searching for heretics?

Pei Ze's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled and said, "Let's do this. If you win, I will give you twenty magic stone coins. If I win, you will teach me gem magic."

"That's impossible!"

Gu Lin didn't even want to refuse, so she gave Pei Ze a blank look.

"Gem magic is the core inheritance of our family, and it can never be passed on to outsiders unless"

In the middle of talking, Gu Lin suddenly stopped, glanced at Pei Ze, blushed slightly imperceptibly, and snorted: "Anyway, it's impossible, and I'm too bad at this bet."

Pei Ze knew that Gu Lin would not agree, so he didn't care when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Well, if I win, you will teach me the knowledge of gem enchantment, how about it?"

Gu Lin was slightly startled, thought for a few seconds, and nodded in agreement.

"it is good."

Gem enchanting is one of the branches of enchanting. It is not the exclusive knowledge of the Gu family, but it is relatively precious.

Compared with twenty magic stone coins, the value will not exceed much.

Anyway, she was confident that she could beat Pei Ze.

"Then it's settled." A cunning flashed in Gu Lin's eyes.

Pei Ze showed a smile that was not a smile, and said, "Then you have to work hard, don't be like this time."

Gu Lin raised his chin slightly and said confidently: "Just wait and see, unless you kill a binge drinker, I will definitely win this competition!"

After saying this, the girl turned and left briskly.

Looking at her back, Pei Ze smiled.

Of course he could see that Gu Rin must have his own cards, but why didn't he?
Looking down at the devil's fingers in his palm, Pei Ze said silently in his heart:
"Omniscient, analyze the spell attached to it."

[The task has been created and the analysis of the attachment spell is started, which is expected to take 5 days and 12 hours]

Pei Ze decisively expended his mental acceleration and completed the analysis in an instant.

A large amount of information flooded into his mind instantly, and within a short while, Pei Ze understood the principle and effect of the spell.

To put it simply, this is a detection spell similar to detecting undead.

It's just that the detection target range is far inferior to the former, and it only has the detection effect on the heretics who are contaminated with Abep's breath.

Moreover, this spell must use a certain part of the devil's body as a medium to take effect.

This also results in the extremely limited effect of this spell.

Obviously, this is a temporary spell created by a wizard specially for the immediate situation.

The time period that can be applied is probably only this operation.

When the action is over, this spell will become tasteless.

Except for a few wizard apprentices who may be interested in the magic research route, I am afraid that others will not take a second look.

However, because of this, the principle structure of this spell is not complicated, far less than that of the first-ring spell, and slightly more complicated than the zero-ring spell.

If the complete spell model can be obtained, the Omniscient Eye will probably be able to analyze it in a day.

It only takes five days to analyze from scratch.

"Omniscient, on the premise of not destroying the item, improve the attachment spell and strengthen the detection effect." Pei Ze gave an order.

[The task has been created to strengthen the effect of magic items, it is expected to take 12 days]

Without saying a word, Pei Ze once again consumed his energy to speed up.

In an instant, a lot of information emerged in the back of my mind, which was the improvement plan for the devil's finger.

Pei Ze read it carefully and nodded secretly.

According to the plan, the improved demon finger detection range will be increased to a radius of 1000 meters, and it will also have an additional function of detecting the strength of the demon's aura.

In this way, the strength of the target can be roughly judged according to the strength of the devil's breath.

The effect improvement is not a star and a half.

"It's a pity that I don't know anything about enchanting. If I want to transform the devil's fingers, I have to find a professional enchanter."

This is not a big problem.

Most of the shops selling magic items in Dawn City provide customized enchanting services.

Transforming a devil's finger is not a big job, and the difficulty is not as difficult as refining an alchemy-grade item, which can be done in any shop.

However, Pei Ze thought for a moment, and finally decided to take a trip to the black market.

After all, the devil's fingers are relatively sensitive. If someone with a heart finds out that he has developed an improvement plan for the devil's fingers in less than a day, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

Just in case, it's better to hide your identity and go to the black market.

It just so happens that tonight is the opening time of the black market.

"I wonder how Gu Lin's trump card compares to my improved version of the Devil's Finger?" Pei Ze thought to himself.

Twenty magic stone coins is not a big amount for him now, and he can easily earn it back by selling a batch of potions.

On the contrary, the knowledge of enchanting is much more difficult to obtain.

In terms of pharmacy, the logistics department sells formulas for various non-advanced medicines.

But in terms of enchantment, in addition to basic subject knowledge, there are only some props refining methods for sale that are not even alchemy-level magic items - such as how to solidify decontamination on apprentice robes.

If you want to learn the real knowledge of enchanting, you can only worship a certain enchanter as a teacher.

However, Pei Ze has already worshiped Mo Weng as his teacher, so naturally this way will not work, so he can only think of other ways.

In fact, even before today, he had thought of acquiring enchantment knowledge from Gu Lin.

Gu Lin offered to make a bet this time, which actually gave him a chance.

"This bet will win no matter what!"

Pei Ze secretly made up his mind.

Mastering a new way to make money is secondary. More importantly, enchantment also plays a huge role in improving combat effectiveness.

As far as he knew, the magic tattoos and elemental runes in the enchanting branch could immediately improve the combat effectiveness of wizards.

Not to mention anything else, he must master these two knowledge!

Night falls.

Deep darkness enveloped the entire base.

After the raid on the stronghold came to an end, the control of the station was relaxed a lot, and the wizard apprentices could come and go freely.

In the early hours of the morning, Pei Ze quietly left the station and rushed towards the bar on the edge of the North District.

Originally, he was a little worried about whether the black market would not be opened because of the actions in recent days, but when he got there to take a look, he realized that he was worrying too much.

The underground black market was as lively as ever, and there was no sign of desertion at all when people came and went.

"It seems that the backers behind the black market are very powerful."

Pei Ze covered the brim of his hat and quickened his pace towards the shop.

As the largest shop selling magic items in the black market, it is natural that there is no enchanting business.

With the gold coins opening the way, the bald shopkeeper readily agreed to Pei Ze's request for enchanting, without saying a word about the origin of the devil's finger, and only asked him to wait for a while, then took the devil's finger and the spell model that Pei Ze had drawn in advance Go into the back room.

Pei Ze found a chair and sat down, waiting patiently.

About half an hour later, the bald shop owner walked out of the room and handed the devil's finger back to him.

"Are you satisfied?"

Pei Ze took the devil's finger, and quietly inspected it with the all-seeing eye, and he was very satisfied with the result.

The improved effect is almost the same as the analysis result of the omniscient eye.

This is already pretty good.

After all, even if the master of enchantment takes action, it is impossible to transform the devil's fingers exactly like the final plan of the omniscient eye.

After all, manpower is limited, and no matter how delicate and careful the work is, it cannot be compared with open cheating.

The same is true for Pei Ze.

So even if the all-seeing eye will give the best plan when refining the medicine, and the whole process will be monitored and reminded, he will still be unable to achieve 100% refining success rate.

Concentrating on distracting thoughts, Pei Ze praised the enchanter's skills a few words, and then walked out of the shop amidst the smiling farewell of the bald shop manager.

After that, he wandered around the black market again, but unfortunately he got very little.

At Pei Ze's current level, the things he needs are often very precious.

For example, magic items must be at least low-light level to arouse his interest, and that's just interest.

To make him greedy, let alone a treasure at the level of a witch weapon.

As for the medicine, only the second-level medicine such as the illusion medicine can make him try to obtain it.

Whether it is a witchcraft weapon or a second-level potion, they are all rare items in the black market. They are either used as treasures in a certain store and are only displayed but not sold, or they are bought immediately as soon as they appear, leaving Pei Ze with no chance to pick them up.

After wandering around, he only used his omniscient eyes to pick up and buy a few materials, which was better than nothing.

Shaking his head uninterestedly, Pei Ze turned and left the black market, returning to the city guard station.

The next thing to do is to wait for tomorrow's mopping up operation to start.

Even if you can't earn enough merit points to exchange for a place in the Secret Realm of Truth, you can win the bet with Gu Lin and get the knowledge of gem enchanting.

The next morning.

As soon as Pei Ze went out, he saw Su Ya and Peng Yan standing at the door fully armed and waiting.

"Sir!" The two of them greeted at the same time.

Pei Ze nodded slightly, and walked out.

"Let's go."

Su Ya and Peng Yan hurriedly followed.

In order to facilitate patrolling, the city guards arranged a carriage for each team.

Protective arrays are engraved on the walls on both sides of the carriage. When attacked from the outside, a shield with a defensive power equivalent to a mage's armor will be released, giving the people in the carriage time to fight back.

In addition, it is not a common horse that is responsible for pulling the cart, but a ferocious animal called the black wildebeest.

It is taller and more majestic than ordinary horses, its body is pitch black, and there is a single horn on its head that points obliquely to the sky.

Judging from the appearance alone, it looks a bit like the legendary nightmare.

The coachman arranged by the city guards was a Diluo barbarian. Seeing the arrival of Pei Ze and the three of them, he immediately smiled flatteringly, jumped off the carriage, and opened the carriage door graciously.

"Sir, please."

Pei Ze nodded gently to him and got on the carriage.

The coachman suddenly showed a flattered expression.

There are many barbarians in Chenxi City, and there are millions of them in the outer city alone.

Except for a handful of those who made great achievements and obtained citizenship, the vast majority of barbarians were just civilians or slaves.

Slaves had the lowest status, and most of them lived in mining areas or plantations outside the city.

The status of civilians is slightly higher, but they are also divided into ranks and ranks.

Among them, the highest-ranking ones either serve as servants of a wizard or wizard's apprentice, or are the guards of some wealthy people.

Those with low status, like him, can only find a low-paying but stable job in the city.

Dawn City has strict and distinct classes, and citizens naturally have a sense of superiority over commoners and slaves.

The citizens he met on weekdays all turned a blind eye to him.

Not to mention the elite class of citizens like wizard apprentices, it was the first time he had seen such a kind master wizard apprentices.

Su Ya didn't even look at the coachman and went straight onto the carriage.

Peng Yan smiled honestly at the driver and got into the car.

He has half barbarian blood in his body, so he is more friendly to barbarians than others.

The interior of the carriage is very spacious, more than enough to accommodate three people.

After sitting down, Pei Ze ordered: "Let's go."

"Yes, my lord!"

The coachman responded respectfully, quickly climbed up to the front room, and lashed the black wildebeest with a whip.

With a neighing sound, the black wildebeest kicked its feet and ran out of the station quickly, pulling the cart.

In the carriage, Su Ya took out a map and placed it on the seat board.

"My lord, this is the map of the northern part of the outer city that I requested from the city guards as you ordered."

Pei Ze nodded and looked at the map, where Su Ya had marked the patrol area of ​​their team.

"My lord, where do we start patrolling?" Peng Yan asked in a low voice.

Pei Ze had already made up his mind, pointing to the neighborhood closest to them, he said, "Start here."

There is actually no good way to search for heretics, it is nothing more than a blanket search.

Although it takes time and energy, it is simple and effective.

Just follow the sensing radius of the devil's fingers and sweep them block by block.

Of course, considering that the heretics might change their hiding places midway, I'm afraid it will take more than one sweep.

After hearing Pei Ze's words, Su Ya and Peng Yan nodded one after another, looking eager to try.

During the previous garrison, the two of them made a lot of money following Pei Ze and exchanged a lot of precious resources. Now is the time when they are full of energy and want to kill the heretics' hideout now.

Not long after, the carriage drove into the patrol area of ​​the team.

Pei Ze took out the devil's fingers, held them in the palm of his right hand, and then leaned on his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

The carriage shook slightly, and the sound of rolling wheels and bursts of noise came from my ears.

This is the time when the outer city begins to be lively, and traffic and people can be seen everywhere on the street.

The sounds of vendors, students laughing, and newsboys shouting were all mixed together and transmitted into the carriage through the open windows.

Su Ya glanced at Pei Ze who had his eyes closed and was concentrating. She stood up and wanted to close the window, but was stopped by Pei Ze who suddenly opened his eyes.

"Turn left." Pei Ze said solemnly.

The coachman outside immediately responded and quickly steered the carriage to turn to the street on the left.

Su Ya and Peng Yan were stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, their eyes lit up.

Peng Yan excitedly said, "My lord, have you found any heretics?"

Pei Ze narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Just now, the magician's fingers in his palm suddenly sensed, and he didn't expect to find the heretic not long after he entered the patrol area.

After confirming that there were pagans nearby, Su Ya and Peng Yan immediately geared up and were ready to strike at any time.

But as the carriage moved forward, the two of them gradually showed doubts.

Isn't the sensing range of the magician's finger 500 meters?
But they have gone more than 500 meters.

what happened?

The two looked at Pei Ze, seeing that the latter was calm and calm, so they could only suppress their doubts and wait patiently.

After a while, Pei Ze finally spoke.

"Stop."

The carriage stopped at the sound.

Su Ya looked out the window, and what came into view was a three-story red-roofed building.

Looking around, there are black street lamps lined up on both sides of the clean gray streets. Most of the buildings on the roadside are ordinary cement buildings, and occasionally some white stone houses can be seen.

Obviously, this is a residential area.

Su Ya frowned slightly, feeling a little tricky.

If a battle breaks out here, it can easily affect ordinary people.

Pei Ze patted his robe gently and said calmly: "Get out of the car."

After saying that, without waiting for Su Ya and Peng Yan to respond, they walked straight out of the carriage.

Seeing this, Su Ya stopped thinking and quickly got out of the car with Peng Yan.

What surprised the two of them was that after getting out of the car, Pei Ze stood quietly in front of the carriage without making any movement.

Su Ya and Peng Yan looked at each other, both confused.

After a while, Su Ya finally couldn't hold back anymore and asked: "Sir."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he was interrupted by a short scream.

The sound clearly came from the red-roofed building.

Su Ya tensed her body reflexively, pressed the hilt of the sword at her waist, and looked at the building warily.

To her astonishment, two short screams came from the building immediately afterwards.

"What happened?"

Just when Su Ya and Peng Yan were wondering, they saw a group of crows flying out of the window on the top floor of the building, working together to grab three corpses with their claws.

Judging from the color of the corpse's skin, it was undoubtedly Abep's believer.

"!!!"

Su Ya and Peng Yan looked at each other, thinking of the atomization ability of the crow demon pet they saw that night, they suddenly realized.

Dare to love, Mr. Pei Ze let the magic pet sneak into the building without a sound. When the heathen inside was attracted by the three of them, he made a surprise attack and eliminated the three heathens neatly.

After figuring this out, Su Ya and Peng Yan couldn't help admiring them secretly.

Lord Pei Ze is still very clever!

"Three demonized people are worth 5 merit points."

After absorbing the soul energy with the recording ring, Pei Ze threw the body on the spot, turned around and returned to the carriage.

As for the corpse, the city guards will come to deal with it later.

"Let's go, keep searching."

After verifying the function of the improved devil's finger, Pei Ze's confidence increased greatly.

The good start also made Su Ya and Peng Yan more motivated.

A group of three continued to patrol.
