Chapter 127: Sneaky Rumors, Asuka's Visit

Lin Bo spent the entire morning intensively building the assembly line. He drank six bottles of potion and triggered the skill judgment of the Mantra Controlling Technique seven times.

His proficiency in the Art of Life Control has now accumulated to over three quarters. He estimated that he would be able to reach level 2 before the MSG workshop was completed.

It was almost noon and I finally had some free time. Just as I was about to meditate to relieve my fatigue, the little seagull whispered in my ear again, begging Lin Bo to implant the second generation of mycelium into him.

The first transformed seagull has become increasingly accustomed to the enhanced reflexes brought about by the new surgery, its movements have become increasingly agile, and it has a clear gap with its peers, and every move it makes is a show of showing off.

The little king was so envious that he didn't forget to return to the lighthouse to feed the three peregrine falcon cubs. After feeding them, he immediately returned to the cave and watched Lin Bo busy with the construction.

After waiting for a long time for the night watchman to be free, he quickly rubbed his face and begged, as if he would burst into tears in front of Lin Bo if he disagreed.

After clearing the Alchemy Circus, the metal mycelium had been depleted and the stock was running low. Lin Bo checked the mycelium's growth in the incubator. After a morning of growth, it had recovered slightly.

He then took the opportunity to perform the implant surgery on the little seagull as well.

The metal neurons are living things, tightly integrated with biological cells, and can grow along with the development of the little seagull.

After the operation was completed, the little king returned to the lighthouse with great pride and satisfaction to show off to the three chicks.

The other seagulls were envious, and their transformation would require a few more days.

In the afternoon, Lin Bo led the team to run the map [Sea Spirit Altar].

As the only veteran left in the team, other teammates respect his decisions very much and basically give up independent thinking, and do whatever the mage tells them to do.

The two new teammates who replaced the Paladin and the Cat Priest had doubts at first, but they soon put aside the tactical thinking and focused their energy on killing monsters.

After receiving the level penalty, there is no experience point income from clearing the dungeon, only some disaster coins will be dropped from the affix treasure chest.

After running through the map twice, I dropped a piece of purple equipment, a "War Cry" skill book, and a knowledge fragment "Glorious Sacrifice Ritual". My luck is pretty good.

Each copy usually only produces one kind of knowledge fragment. The "Glorious Sacrifice and Dedication Ceremony" has no use value to Lin Bo, but it can be exchanged for other fragments. The "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Marrow" chapter, whose proficiency is accumulating rapidly, will soon be useful.

Among all the skills now, the one with the slowest progress is the Sky Toad Gazing at the Moon Technique. If one wants to improve the proficiency of this skill, one needs to use potions to apply to the eyeballs, but he has never purchased any eye drops.

In the past, he was short of money and couldn't afford it. But now, with his basic alchemy skills and improved medical skills, Lin Bo is able to make qualified medicines himself.

At least you don't have to spend extra money before the Tianchan Gazing at the Moon Technique is upgraded to Lv3. If you need more effective eye drops in the future, you can find a way to adjust the formula or purchase the finished product directly on the platform to save time and worry.

at dusk.

The lighthouse had fewer visitors than usual, with many people visiting the docks to see the construction crew. Therefore, only those truly unwell and in need of medical attention visited the headland. This, in turn, reduced the chances of him triggering his True Words Illusion skill check.

Before sunset, Viren Pearl returned from visiting Duke Ancher in Jinbei City.

He was still exhausted, but his expression was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad.

Lin Bo saw off the last visitor, asked him to sit at the table, and asked about his trip.

Viren first stated his conclusion. After tasting the mushroom MSG, Duke Ancher became very, very interested in this business, and according to Viscount Pearl's description, his "eyes lit up."

But the Duke never agreed to trade his collection of Poseidon relics, preferring to invest in shares or use other precious collections as substitutes.

Viren remembered the conditions offered by the Miracle Walker and insisted on exchanging the relics for shares, but the Duke refused to budge. The two sides remained deadlocked until the very end, without reaching an agreement. Hearing this, Limbo then asked Viren Pearl what kind of person the Duke was.

"He's a guy who's been paralyzed for most of his life." Weiren gestured at his chest. "From the neck down, he can't move at all. He's in a wheelchair. His wife died many years ago. He has two sons and a daughter, the oldest is no more than twenty years old. But from what I've seen, the family relationships are very unhappy."

He paused and added, "The Duke is a man who sighs often and unconsciously."

"What is his lifestyle like?"

"It's simple. He has only a stout maid to look after him. None of the servants in the house seem to be afraid of him. When I chat with him, I find that the Duke has a wide range of experience. His views on the literary world are unique and insightful, which always leave me speechless."

Lin Bo nodded, "What else have you heard?"

Wei Lun mentioned a piece of gossip about the Duke's Mansion. "Many people in that mansion have experienced auditory hallucinations at night. It's said to be caused by ghosts."

"Tell me about the exterior of the Duke's Mansion." He was very interested. "And where in Jinbei City is this mansion located?"

After Viscount Pearl carefully described the address of the Duke's Mansion, he suddenly realized something. His heart began to beat fast, and he asked softly, "Miracle, are you planning to meet him in person? I'm always available to accompany you."

"The transportation is too slow, Viren Pearl. You can go back and come back tomorrow." Lin Bo took out the Mage's Face and put it on his face.

Amidst a hoarse gust of wind, and under the trembling gaze of Viscount Pearl, his body began to shrink, his clothes turned into feathers, and he soon transformed into a peregrine falcon. His posture was full of wildness, but his eyes were still gentle and calm. There was a white spot on his forehead, like a third eye.

Peregrine Falcon stood on the ground and nodded slightly to Viscount Pearl. He immediately stood up from the table, knelt in front of Peregrine Falcon, and whispered the name of the miracle.

The bird flapped its wings and flew out of the open door, then disappeared in the pale purple sky with the dim sunset.

Jinbei City.

The peregrine falcon overlooks the street. The whale oil cars and horse-drawn carriages passing by seem like two different eras passing by. Pedestrians buying food hold paper bags. Regardless of gender, age or status, everyone likes to wear a hat when going out.

Brick and stone apartment buildings clustered together, each gleaming with the glow of incandescent lamps. Lamplighters, holding tall poles, walked along the street, lighting up the glass-covered oil lamps one by one.

The Duke's mansion was located in a wealthy and prosperous neighborhood. The invited guests drove their carriages into the manor and crowded onto the lawn. Young men and women emerged from the carriages, and the banquet in the main hall of the mansion was lively and hearty.

Duke Ancher was alone in his second-floor study, a thick volume of serious literature resting on a stand before him. Under the gentle glow of an electric light, he wore reading glasses and held a wooden stick in his mouth, using it to turn the pages.

He could clearly hear the bustle downstairs, but it had nothing to do with him. These guests were invited by his two sons, and he had agreed to the young people's gathering and entertainment.

The study window was open, and the fresh air could relieve the mental stress caused by paralysis and allow him to breathe smoothly.

A peregrine falcon landed in front of the window at some point and stared at the person in the wheelchair.

"Cough—cough—" Duke Anche accidentally choked on some saliva and tried hard to hold back his cough, but he still spat out the wooden pole in his mouth.

Now he couldn't turn the pages of the book, so he called the servants twice, but no one came in, probably because they were all busy with the banquet.

Duke Anche stared at the pages he had already read, imagining how he would write the rest of the content.

The autumn wind suddenly intensified, the lights were bright, and the shadows cast on the wall slowly deformed.

A hand reached out from behind him and turned the page for him.
