Chapter 118 117. Five-week plan

Iron Thorn Shield Security Company, third floor, infirmary.

Li Nuo put on a scarf and sunglasses, carried a fruit basket for condolences, and stepped into the ward inside the Iron Thorn Shield.

That old boy Conte was discharged from the hospital yesterday evening.

He took his little brothers to go around the third underground floor, thus confirming the fact that Li Nuo emptied the third underground floor alone.

Conte passed the news to the top management of Iron Thorn Shield, and the top management sent Cindy to negotiate with Li Nuo. This led to the scene where Li Nuo and Cindy met in "Money Dream" at 8 o'clock last night.

Li Nuo came to Iron Thorn Shield's ward today to express condolences to Fars.

This young alchemist, who was not born high but had great ideals, chased his enemy into the fourth underground level on impulse.

The two Black City alchemists who ambush the mechanical spider had already taken the lifting platform on the fourth underground floor and descended from the shaft.

Fals burst into anger, cut off the rope of the lifting platform, and then continued to descend, eager to stop the enemy deep underground.

But it's a pity.

He met the Sower wandering on the fifth floor underground.

This extraordinary aberration with a huge body and strange appearance, carrying a flesh mushroom on its back, tied Fars with the tentacles of the flesh mushroom, almost suffocating him to death, dissolving, melting, and turning him into nutrients for the aberration's eggs.

Fortunately, Conte appeared in time, rescued Fars, and used the alchemy bomb he carried to drive back the Sower.

Otherwise, Fars, who was carried away by anger, would really die at the hands of the Sower.

Li Nuo sat on the bedside, peeling an apple and listening to Fals's story.

"Thank you, Kante, for rescuing me. Looking back now, I was really too impulsive at the time. But I really had no choice, Li Lei. Without the Alchemy Cube, the mechanical spider would have declared my alchemy mission a failure..."

Fars was sitting on the bedside, with bandages on his face and left arm, looking depressed and lonely.

Underneath the bandage is the skin eroded by the sower's acid, as well as the fresh granulation from the wounds being renovated.

The medical level here in the Golden Federation is worse than that in the Tatis Empire.

It is estimated that it will take another three days before Fars can recover and be discharged from the hospital.

"Fars, do you know my true identity?" Li Nuo put the cut apple into a tray and handed it to the other party.

"Uh, yes. It's really embarrassing to say it. It's all because you concealed it so well. Every time you cast a spell, you lift your glasses to reveal your black right eye. I didn't recognize that you were casting a spell for a moment, but

I mistakenly believe that you are activating some extraordinary ability caused by extraordinary organs. If you don’t raise your glasses and directly release energy fluctuations, then I will definitely recognize you as a wizard at once..."

Fars ate apple slices and smiled wryly to himself:

"I really can't do anything well. I'm too frivolous and impulsive. Now that I think about it, when I saw you casting a spell for the first time, I could have discovered your true identity by thinking calmly.

I will never regard you as a native of the Empire...Hey, your disguise is so good...Are all wizards like you..."

"There is no other way, Fars. This is the Golden Federation. The Alchemy Temple has not declared that our wizards are legal Beyonders, so I can only hide it." Li Nuo said with a smile.

The topic changed and Li Nuo asked:

"Conte and I have discussed that on the dusting day, I will stay underground to help you keep an eye on the illegal alchemists on the third and fourth floors underground. I plan to find the whereabouts of the metal Rubik's Cube for you.

Do you have any suggestions? Did you find any important clues while tracking the two alchemists in the Black City?"

"Are you willing to help?!" Fars became excited, straightened his back, and his eyes shone with hope.

"I do intend to help, Fals. I happen to be studying the extraordinary power of the Black City, so it would be a good idea to help you find the metal Rubik's Cube."

"But I...but I have no money..." Fars' expression darkened, his back softened, and he leaned back on the bedside again.

"You can pay for it with information, Fars. To be honest, my mentor didn't give me any information before he sent me to travel. It was only after I got here that I gradually understood the relationship between the Golden Federation and the

From Gathering City.”

Li Nuo Tan Tan Shou:

"Why don't you use the information you know as a reward?"

"Okay...just ask. As long as it doesn't involve the controlled alchemy knowledge defined by the Alchemy Academy, as long as I know the answer, I'll be willing to tell you."

Li Nuo thought for a moment:

"Let's start with the rift corridor. I didn't find any books on this in the bookstore. It would be great if you could tell me what the corridors on each floor have and what the characteristics of the corridors below each sector are.

.”

"Oh~ I understand. Are you asking about the resource-based sage particles that the alchemists left underground during the wall-building mission 30 years ago?"

Fars shook his head and said:

"I know that for you wizards, the resource-based sage particles in the underground are the most attractive."

Li Nuo blinked, not really understanding what the other person was saying.

His original intention was to inquire about Sector 19 with Fals and Conte in turn. If there was really nothing to gain, he would go talk to Cindy.

Unexpectedly, before he could bring the topic to sector 19, Fars revealed an unexpected gain.

Li Nuo nodded calmly:

"Yes, that's what I want to ask. Please tell me."

"Ahem, okay." Fars sat up straight and said:

"That's right, Li Lei. In that wall-building mission 30 years ago, many, many high-level alchemist sages participated. They either died in battle, or fled the station in a hurry during the attack by the aberrations.

Regardless, they failed to recover their sage particles in time.

"Uh, sage particle, you should know what it is, right? It's the kind of alchemy object that can fixedly generate a specific substance or energy. This is knowledge also found in basic alchemy books.

"But in fact, the role of sage particles goes beyond that.

“In the realm of alchemy in the sage stage:

"The substances that sage particles can produce are not only things like daggers, flying knives, and armor-piercing bullets, but also resource-based alchemy resource points such as springs, coal mines, mushroom forests, orchards. This kind of material can stably produce alchemy.

Once the sage particles of the material are placed, it takes a long time to get them back into the alchemy stone. They are called resource sage particles."

Fals stretched out his hand and gestured and said:

"So, if you think about it, when the aberrations broke through the alchemist's stronghold defense line, the alchemist great sages had no time to recover the resource-based sage particles. They could only throw it there and wait for a counterattack later to recover it.

.But the trouble is that to recover the activated sage particles, you need to use the alchemy mark of the alchemist sage himself to release the sage lock of the sage particles..."

Li Nuo's pupils shrank and he interjected:

"Does it have to be the alchemy mark of the Great Sage himself?"

"Yes, that's right." Fals nodded heavily.

Li Nuo took a breath and said, "Well, keep talking."

Fals shrugged:

"But you have to know that the great alchemist sages cannot survive the craze of aberrations. After the great alchemist sages die in battle, the resource-based sage particles they activated cannot be recovered smoothly. We have only one solution to this situation

Method…"

Fars raised his finger:

"As time goes by, the sage lock that blocks the sage particles will lose energy. When the sage lock fails, the sage particles will enter an ownerless state. At this time, as long as the alchemical formation for collecting the sage particles is drawn,

You can take it as your own."

As Fars spoke, he suddenly gritted his teeth, as if he had made some important decision.

He put his hand on the alchemy stone, grabbed a handful of light balls, and put it into Li Nuo's hand.

The light of the light group quickly restrained and turned into a white alchemy card.

"What are you?" Li Nuo looked at the card and raised his eyebrows.

Fars sat on the bed and bowed:

"This alchemy card is my academy authority card. If you take it and the letter written by me, you can enter the Alchemy Temple branch in the Lower City.

"You can find information about underground sage particles there. There is not only information about resource-type sage particles, but also information about trap-type, secret-type, and prison-type sage particles. In addition, there are various information about underground sage particles in the lower city area.

There is also an overview of the alchemy forces in the sector.

"Li Lei, please help me pay more attention to the Alchemy Cube. Your wizards are no less capable than us alchemists. Maybe you can help me find the whereabouts of the Alchemy Cube. The temporary use right of this alchemy card is the most I can pay.

It’s a generous reward.”

"Are you sure it won't affect you if I use your permission card to look up information?" Li Nuo asked thoughtfully.

"It won't have any impact. I will give you a letter of introduction to help me check the information. On the letter, I will indicate that you are my experimental assistant. With this letter, you can pass the guard's inspection

.”

"Okay, Fals. You can write a letter now. I plan to check the information later. Don't worry, as long as I find clues to the Alchemy Cube, I will give it to you whether I can help you recover it or not.

An explanation." Li Nuo nodded and said.

"Thank you, Li Lei. You are such a good person. I saw you right from the beginning. You saved me from the "Wolf Guard" and I haven't thanked you yet."

Fals issued good guy cards in succession, and the gloom on his face disappeared a lot.

Li Nuo accepted the good guy card and the alchemy card with a smile, and while waiting for Fars to finish writing the letter, he chatted casually:

"Does your family also live in Gathering City?"

Fars took out a notepad and pen from the alchemy stone, scrawled and wrote, and said at the same time:

"Yes, my parents are workers in the alchemy farm, and they usually live in the alchemy farm outside the city. My sister works at the Cat Club in Sector 8. She works during the day to save money, and I give her tutoring classes at night, or she

Self-study. I plan to let her try the basic alchemy test first to see if she can become a student of the Alchemy Academy. If not, she can take the self-study alchemy test and live in Xiacheng District like me."

"Well, it seems that you two brothers and sisters are working very hard." Li Nuo felt a little relieved that he did not help the wrong person.

Remuneration and other things are still secondary.

The main thing is that the character of the other person must be good, otherwise you will inevitably feel resentful if you help an indolent person tide over the difficulties.

At this time, when he heard that Fars' sister was also working hard, Li Nuo felt that he had not helped the wrong person.

Not only did he help Fars, but he also indirectly helped his sister. A kind act of kindness could help two people avoid suffering, so it was a very worthwhile effort.

Of course, the premise is that the clues to the Alchemy Cube can be found, otherwise everything will be in vain.

Fars put down his pen, blew on the ink, folded the letter and handed it to Li Nuo.

The two chatted for a while, and then Li Nuo stood up and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a voice that was very familiar to Li Nuo came from outside the door...

"Brother, I washed all the dirty clothes for you, and also brought you a change of clothes for the next few days, as well as clean quilt covers and pillowcases."

Li Nuo followed the sound and looked over, seeing two slender arms walking in holding a luggage bag high above his head.

Throwing the deconstruction technique at the opponent's delicate arms holding the luggage bag, Li Nuo almost laughed out loud.

[System message: You are about to launch deconstruction on "Wizard Sandora Betty".]

What a coincidence.

The female cat who starts fighting whenever they disagree is actually Fals's sister?!

"Is this your sister? Fars." Li Nuo calmed down and asked with a smile.

"Ah? Is anyone here?" Half of the head poked out from behind the luggage bag, revealing the ponytail and forehead:

"You! Uh...who are you?"

Betty's voice sounded surprised at first, then turned sharply into confusion.

Fars waved his hand at her:

"Put down your luggage bag first, Sandora. This is Li Lei, the Li Lei I told you. This is my sister, Sandora Betty."

Li Nuo nodded slowly:

"So your last name is 'Betty'? Fals."

"No, no, no, it's not. My full name is Ramo Fals. Fals is my surname. Sandora is my cousin, the daughter of my mother's brother, and she takes her mother's surname.

"

"So that's it..." Li Nuo looked at Betty, who looked a little nervous and confused.

Betty in human form does have some similarities to Fals, but there are also unique features.

Her orange hair is long, with some curls at the ends, and her face is small and cute, like a well-cared-for little orange cat...

"Hello, Betty. I brought some fruit, you can have some too... Fals, I'm leaving first. As soon as there is news, I will come to you, or ask Conte and Cindy to send you a message

.”

"Okay, Li Lei, be careful." Fals waved his hand and watched Li Nuo leave the room.

Fars picked up the tray on the table and handed it to his sister, "Here, apple slices, peeled by Li Lei."

"Boom, boo!" Betty picked up the apple slices and took a few bites, "Is that person just now the weird empire guy you mentioned?"

Fars scratched his head:

"He... uh... well, just think of him as an Imperial, but he's not weird at all. He's actually a wizard, the kind of person you often read about in novels. But don't

It has been publicized everywhere. Wizards are very low-key, and in the Golden Federation, wizards cannot appear in public without the permission of the Alchemy Temple."

"Oh, I know."

Fars rubbed his chin and pondered:

"If you fail the alchemy test, should I let you become a wizard... Li Lei is quite nice, maybe he is willing to teach you magic..."

"puff"

"Hey! Sandora, you vomited on my bed..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally choked... These apple slices are so delicious, brother, please eat some more."

In the corridor, Li Nuo took a deep breath and almost suffered internal injuries due to the laughter.

This can be seen from the feedback from Deconstruction:

Sandora Betty is a wizard and alchemist, and Fars is just an alchemist.

I just don’t know when Betty became a wizard without telling Fars...

Interesting brother and sister.

Poor Fars is still worried about his sister, but he doesn't know that Betty is already a first-level wizard.

Li Nuo thought back to the night when Betty came to his door, his capable movements, fierce offensive, and proud smile.

Now that I think about it, the contrast between Betty's inside and outside is really big...

The sweet cousin in front of my brother, the wild meow in the moonlit night.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Li Nuo sighed secretly, quickened his pace, and left the Iron Thorn Shield Security Company building.

…

…

The Alchemy Temple's branch in Xiacheng District has an independent sector, located between sectors 13 and 14.

It is the backbone of the defense of the lower city. It does not intervene in the competition and battles between the alchemy forces. It only focuses on monitoring the Great Crack and dealing with aberrations that may appear on the ground.

But if the battle between the alchemy forces affects civilians, the Temple branch will intervene in the incident as an arbitrator and punish the alchemy forces.

The layout of the temple branch is similar to that of the Alchemy Academy, with rune walls, a library, a general affairs hall, and a large experimental area dedicated to alchemy experiments.

Only those who have passed the alchemy exam can enter the temple branch.

Any alchemist who has passed the alchemy exam can accept the alchemy tasks issued by the Shangcheng District Academy here, or pay a large amount of money to rent the alchemy room in the experimental area.

False's laboratory is here.

However, that was not the goal of Li Nuo's trip.

After passing the guard's inspection, Li Nuo followed the signs, walked through the green corridor, and arrived at the General Affairs Hall.

In order to avoid making mistakes like an old hat, Li Nuo stood in the corner of the hall for a while.

By observing the alchemists here, he figured out the purpose of each alchemy facility in the hall.

The alchemy facilities where information can be consulted are floating glass balls arranged along the wall, separated by frosted glass.

Insert the alchemy card into the base under the floating glass ball, then place your hand on the glass ball, and the glass ball will project a light curtain towards the wall.

Rotate the glass ball to switch the images on the light curtain.

This alchemy facility is called an "alchemy access device" and is very similar to a personal computer in the information civilization.

Li Nuo will know how to do it just by looking at it.

He found an unused alchemy access device, inserted Fars's alchemy card, raised his hand and pressed it on the floating glass ball.

An operating interface written in local language appears on the wall.

On the interface, all accessible databases are listed in the form of lines of text.

"Fission Wilderness Area, the ownership, manufacturers, and alchemy tasks related to common resource-based sage particles"

"Fission Wilderness Area, Trap-type Philosopher Particles You Need to Beware of"

"Fission Wilderness Area, Unlocking of Secret Sage Particles, Unsealing and Related Alchemy Quests"

"Fission Wilderness Area, Common Demonized Animal Branch Situation"

"Comprehensive Knowledge of Basic and Advanced Alchemy (Non-Regulated)"

"Overview of the 1st to 20th floors underground in the Crack Corridor"

…

There are about ten entries before and after for Li Nuo to check.

Li Nuo clicked on the first entry and looked at the situation of resource-based sage particles.

The first thing that catches your eye is:

"Alchemist Fars' recent alchemy mission related to resource-based sage particles"

This sub-interface introduces: Fals brought back three tons of mountain purified water from the "Jishui Valley" four days ago.

Li Nuo clicked into the "Jishui Valley" interface and glanced at it, and then he realized where the resource-based sage particles came from...

Daqing is collected from nature by alchemist sages.

After an alchemist sage finds a location rich in alchemical materials in nature, he will use a large environmental alchemy array to store the location in a special storage space.

This storage space allows living things to exist, allows living entities to survive, and the flow of time is consistent with nature.

Encapsulate this storage space into the size of a grain of rice, and add the sage lock of the alchemist sage himself to obtain resource-type sage particles.

For example, the Jishui Valley, which produces purified mountain water, has been made into sage particles by the great alchemist in the Gold Chamber of Commerce.

When it comes time to transfer resources, the sage will collect the spring water from the mountain spring and take it to a new location, where he will deploy the sage particles.

The space formed by the expansion of resource-based sage particles is called the resource-based sage space.

The "Basic Encyclopedia of Philosopher Particles" bought by Li Nuo only covers basic content. Resource-based Philosopher Particles are advanced alchemy knowledge and will naturally not appear in the basic encyclopedia.

If he hadn't borrowed Fars's alchemy card and went to the Alchemy Temple branch to check the information, Li Nuo would have never known that the great alchemist could already move natural resource points.

How could an alchemist with such extraordinary power be killed by aberrations?

Li Nuo was confused.

How powerful must the aberrations deep in the rift corridor be...

"Wait a minute, I seem to have overlooked a knowledge point."

Li Nuo slapped his head, called up the "Basic Encyclopedia of Philosopher Particles", and turned to the page "Negative Effects of Philosopher Particles".

The book says this:

Holding sage particles will put a huge mental burden on the alchemist. The alchemist needs to spend a lot of energy and time to maintain the foundation of the sage particle array.

In the language of gamification, Li Nuo thinks so:

Once in possession of the Sage Particle, the Alchemist gains a semi-permanent negative effect.

This negative effect will greatly reduce the "spiritual" attribute of the alchemist himself until the sage particles are eliminated.

Therefore, those great alchemist sages who were killed by the aberrations must have been dragged down by the resource-based sage particles, and thus died unfortunately.

Li Nuo first heard about the existence of resource-based sage particles and thought about finding an opportunity to collect a few.

Now that I think about it, I might as well forget it.

Even the great sages can't handle the negative effects of resource-based sage particles, so it's better not to get involved in it.

Li Nuo calmed down and checked the database carefully.

He found the sage particles related to the "Crack Corridor" and called up the corresponding interface.

Li Nuo faced the text light curtain on the wall and threw out the deconstruction technique.

[System message: You are about to activate the deconstruction technique on the "Sage Particles Lost in the Crack Corridor".]

[It is estimated that 6 energy points will be consumed to reach 100% deconstruction completion. 】

"Only 6 energy points. It seems that it doesn't take much energy to fully deconstruct pure written information."

Li Nuo muttered "Confirm deconstruction" silently and took all the information about the missing particles into his mind.

He turned the glass ball, switched the light screen interface, and clicked on all the items from top to bottom.

One after another deconstruction techniques are thrown at the light curtain.

In a short time, the total number of words exceeds 100,000 words, plus a large number of illustrations and information, all of which became Li Nuo's bag.

The cost of this operation is only 300 energy points.

The efficiency of deconstruction in obtaining secret knowledge and secret intelligence is really terrifying.

Among them, the one that interests Li Nuo the most is "Basic and Advanced Alchemy Knowledge Encyclopedia (Non-Regulatory Category)".

It records many interesting alchemical products, such as alchemical traps, alchemical cloaks, alchemical mixtures, etc. It not only contains alchemical recipes, but also records classic examples.

This type of alchemical knowledge is unregulated.

In the eyes of the Alchemy Temple, there are only three types of controlled alchemical knowledge:

It involves the knowledge of alchemy marks at the sage level, the core knowledge of making alchemy sets, and the knowledge of forcibly plundering sage particles.

Alchemical products created with non-regulated knowledge are also non-regulated.

Li Nuo has not passed the alchemy exam yet and is not a first-level alchemist.

But as long as you have deconstruction skills and knowledge, you can still produce non-regulated alchemical products.

Because, the deconstruction result brought to him by the deconstruction technique is not only the function of the alchemical product, but also its alchemical formula!

"The harvest this time is greater than I imagined."

Li Nuo stared at the non-regulated alchemy knowledge in his mind and was in a daze for a while.

In just a short period of time, the system refreshed a lot of text information in his mind.

【system information:】

[You have completely deconstructed the non-regulated alchemy knowledge within the Alchemy School in 15 books including "Construction and Transformation of Alchemy Traps", "Making and Maintenance of Common Alchemy Cloaks", "Illustration of Basic Alchemical Mixtures", "Basic Alchemy Parts Encyclopedia".

】

[Your "Spirit" attribute meets the reading requirements of these knowledge, so you automatically master the above knowledge content. 】

[You have unlocked new skills:]

[Alchemy Trap Science, Level 10, Knowledge Skills.]

[Alchemy Cloak, level 10, knowledge skills.]

[Alchemical mixture science, level 10, knowledge and skills.]

[Alchemical Mechanics, level 15, knowledge and skills.]

[The above skill levels only represent the highest level of the relevant alchemy products. The level of the actual items produced is related to your practical ability and production process. 】

"This wave of knowledge harvesting is awesome. Deconstruction, awesome!"

Li Nuo took a deep breath.

A large amount of non-regulated alchemical knowledge poured into his mind and turned into his own knowledge reserve, which suddenly deepened his understanding of alchemical products.

For example, take the alchemy access instrument in front of you.

Li Nuo could only operate it before, but now just looking at it, the alchemical knowledge related to it will flow subconsciously in his mind.

Almost instantly, he made several well-founded speculations and conjectures about the mechanical structure of the alchemy access instrument and the principles of the magic array.

This wonderful feeling was like he suddenly became an alchemist who was well versed in basic and advanced alchemy. Moreover, he was an old alchemist who had been immersed in the field of alchemy for many years.

"Hiss, I understand. "Spirit" is the key to unlocking the door of knowledge!"

A flash of enlightenment flashed through Li Nuo's heart!

"In the future, as long as my "spirit" reaches the standard, I can directly gain knowledge and skills by deconstructing books, completely eliminating the time of learning knowledge and doing exercises. This is equivalent to skipping the entire learning process!"

Li Nuo looked down at his palms, slowly clenched his fists, and was filled with excitement:

"For me, after mastering knowledge and skills, there is only one thing to do. That is to transform knowledge into practical results through practical operations. Just like after I learned wand making, I personally improved the death thread wand. I only need to

If you carefully follow the guidance of knowledge and carry out practical operations, you will be able to create the highest level items with a 100% success rate!

"It seems that in the future I will not only be able to make money from selling knowledge, but also making high-quality extraordinary props will be my way of making money!"

With the new knowledge and skills, he suddenly had more ways to deal with Zikmando.

Li Nuo calmed down, tried to calm his turbulent heart, and continued to do business.

He called up Fars's alchemy task list.

The content on the light screen showed that the alchemy task number Fars accepted was XB-ZZ-182, and the topic of the task was to study the potential flaws of mechanical spiders.

There were 13 people who took on these tasks with him.

The Alchemy Academy disclosed the list of personnel, and Li Nuo used his deconstruction skills to write down the basic information of these people.

Li Nuo's plan is simple.

In the process of arranging to hunt Zikmando, I found these 13 people by the way, and threw a deconstruction spell on each of them to see their recent memory.

Whoever has the Alchemist of the Black City or the Alchemy Cube of Fars in his recent memory is the mastermind behind it.

Li Nuo checked the information in his mind, and after confirming that he had not missed anything, he pulled out the card and turned to leave.

As he walked, he thought about his hunting plan.

Jikmando, a wandering wizard under "Soul Shaper" Jimat.

Currently living in Sector 19, which is an area jointly controlled by multiple small and medium-sized alchemy forces.

Filia didn't give the address of Jackmando in detail, Li Nuo had his own way to find him.

"I didn't expect that I would be able to use the insect alchemy that Kordar contributed to me so quickly. The "Ringing Ladybug", this tiny little guy, is just right for carrying out reconnaissance missions."

The bell ladybug is an alchemical insect whose mother has many offspring.

By refining a nest, you can get one female worm and three to seven daughter worms.

The worm has a certain amount of memory and can remember the appearance, characteristics and smell of a specific target.

After discovering the target, the daughter worm will vibrate its wings silently to transmit a signal to the mother worm.

After receiving the signal, the female insect makes a bell-like cry.

Using daughter worms to monitor key areas and using mother worms to receive signals is a common reconnaissance method used by insect alchemists.

How the mother worm and the daughter worm transmit signals through the air has always been a research topic at the Alchemy School.

Li Nuo doesn't care about principles, he only wants practical results.

He came to the "One to One Replacement" alchemy club and stayed in the alchemy room, making a bell ladybug and drawing a half-length portrait of Jackmando.

Two hours later, Li Nuo took the bell ladybug who remembered Zikmando's appearance, changed his appearance, and entered Sector 19.

Place one at the door of the most luxurious entertainment venue in the sector, one near the alchemy power base, one at each exit of the alchemy bazaar, and another on the only way back to sector 19 from Cat Society Manor.

…

Li Nuo had placed bell bugs wherever Jackmando might appear.

Is there any way to avoid the prying eyes of ringworms?

have.

Zikmando changes his appearance and body appearance to avoid prying eyes.

Secondly, applying an alchemical potion that emits a specific smell can drive away ringworms.

Li Nuo felt that Gilkmando would not change his appearance in the short term, because he had already entered into a cooperative state with the Elemental Trial, and frequent changes in appearance would affect cooperation.

As for Jackman, he uses the smell of alchemical potions to drive away ringworms.

hey-hey.

Li Nuo couldn't get it.

As long as it's smell, it can be traced.

Li Nuo wished that Jackmando always had a traceable scent on him, as this would save him the trouble of locking the target.

He once heard a saying:

What is most important in today's society?

Talent.

What about after you have the talent?

Of course, it is information, intelligence, databases, etc., which can help talents grasp the overall situation and the latest trends.

Li Nuo now has in his mind a map of the entire lower city area of ​​Convergence City, all publicly disclosed coordinates, directions and brief introductions of the sage particles, as well as most of the layout of the Rift Corridor from the 1st underground floor to the 20th floor.

Just give him a point.

A coordinate point representing Zikmando's current position.

He can use alchemy and magic to build a comprehensive reconnaissance network and continue to track the whereabouts of Zikmando.

As a time traveler who has lived in a city full of cameras, Li Nuo knows very well how to arrange his "camera" to ensure that he can track the target as seamlessly as possible.

Now he just needs to get the specific coordinates of Zikmando.

Once is enough.

In order to discover the traces of Zikmando as soon as possible, Li Nuo also arranged some back-ups before leaving Sector 19.

It was 11 o'clock that night.

A faint bell rang in Li Nuo's alchemy room.

"Ding~ding~ding~"

The female bell worm lies on the table, flaps her wings, and beats her rear abdomen like pomegranate seeds, making a crisp sound.

Li Nuo was currently studying alchemical structures next to the alchemy table.

He broke away from his work state, rubbed his tired eyes, pulled out the desk chair, and sat on the chair.

Quickly sketching the spell blueprint in his mind, Li Nuo activated the "death spell" with the "soul link" feature, awakening the dead birds sleeping on the streets of Sector 19.

Cloudy night, dim moonlight.

As the night gets darker, the entertainment area in Sector 19 is still noisy.

On the open-air fighting stage, the contestants were sweating like rain, punching hard to the flesh, and dripping blood and sweat on the stage.

The surrounding auditoriums were packed with alchemists and ordinary people who had nowhere to vent their energy. They were eating barbecue, drinking ice-cold ale, and yelling along with the fierce battle on the fighting stage.

This loud noise flew upward along the outer wall of the building, turning into harsh, irregular, and annoying notes that echoed in the sky above the entertainment area.

Those buildings that had already turned off the lights and were resting were like solemn giants staring at the entertainment area at their feet, silently enduring the noise of humans.

On the roof of each of these buildings, there was a bird that died from a penetrating wound to the back of the head.

They were lying on their sides, their eyes black and lifeless.

Twitching and squirming like electric shocks spread from the back of their heads to their beaks, wings and toes.

They used their stiff wings to support the ground, stood up crookedly, and moved towards the edge of the building with a stumbling attitude.

They sway step by step, like mindless puppets, quietly executing their master's instructions.

The people watching the passionate fight didn't know that there were more than a dozen pairs of dark eyes above their heads looking down at them from above.

The strange flock of birds slowly turned their heads, their eyes following the movement of a figure below.

They paid attention to every move of that figure.

They saw the man get off the steam locomotive, open a table next to the fighting ring, get drunk, and eat and drink.

A moment later, smelling of alcohol and greasiness, this man walked into the tavern next to the fighting club. In the third room from the south on the third floor of the tavern, he fell asleep with a hot woman in his arms.

The strange flock of birds turned into sculptures in the shadow of the roof, and there was no more movement.

…

Li Nuo opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Zikmando, you're a skeleton and you're pretty good at enjoying it. Tomorrow is powdering day, and we're going to eat abalone tonight."

Li Nuo stood up, pushed open the window of the alchemy room, looked far away, and had a panoramic view of the rows of rooftops and the streets lit by street lamps.

The city is driven by desire, but the controllers have neglected to monitor the dark areas of desire, leaving many blank spaces.

What Li Nuo saw was not a highly developed alchemical society.

Rather, it is a backward zone full of blind spots in surveillance, management loopholes, and chaotic rules.

As long as you dig carefully and make good use of your experience before traveling, you can seize a vast blue ocean of treasures and wealth.

In order to consolidate his position as a knowledge broker, Li Nuo formulated his first high-intensity plan.

"The First Five-Week Plan for the Aboveground Area".

In the next five weeks, he will build a surveillance system covering the entire lower city. All areas except the Alchemy Temple branch will be monitored with homemade cameras.

Any wizard who steps into this city must be one of the first people to know of its existence.

It's an evil wizard who's coming, and it might delay your business, so just set up a trap to kill him.

The person who came is a kind wizard. If you can communicate with him in a friendly manner, then you will acquiesce to his existence.

In order to ensure that he has the ability to accurately kill enemies, Li Nuo also formulated the "First Rift Corridor Five-Week Plan".

Within these five weeks, he will spread his eyes to the four underground floors of all sectors to control the activities of the alchemical forces in the underground area.

In this way, he can avoid the alchemy forces and safely and boldly seduce enemies who are unfamiliar with him underground.

During the first five weeks of the above-ground and underground plan, Li Nuo will continue to use alchemy and magic to create a "camera" in its ideal form.

Li Nuo's self-made "pure bone fragments" were inserted into the carcasses of the birds that were monitoring Gilkmando.

Using "pure dominoes" to cast "Death Technique" on corpses from a distance is a little trick that Li Nuo has recently discovered. It is not recorded on the spell panel, so it is considered a hidden skill.

Li Nuo relies on "soul links" to communicate with the dead birds. If they are injured, they will cause serious mental damage to Li Nuo.

In order to avoid this bad situation, and to save himself from running to the roof with the dead bird again and again, Li Nuo planned to develop a self-propelled machine made of metal machinery and driven by alchemy array and soul energy.

"Surveillance cameras".

The final appearance of this thing has not yet been determined, and Li Nuo still needs many experiments before he can make a conclusion.

But one thing is certain.

That is, these "cameras" can only be driven with soul energy.

Because soul energy is the least dynamic of all energies.

Death energy has a distinct black light, as does fire elemental energy and other elemental energies.

Only soul energy is colorless and transparent. Unless the distance is very close, it is difficult for others to detect energy fluctuations.

To this end, Li Nuo needs to solve the problem of soul strength consumption, which coincides with his hunting of competitors - the soul fragments an extraordinary person can provide are much more than monsters. Of course, "

Except for "Imperial Fists".

Everything in the two five-week plans starts from tomorrow, from Ji'kmando.

Just use him and his soul as a sacrifice to start the plan.

"I have found the specific location of the large demonized rat nest that Filia mentioned. It is located on the 10th to 15th floors underground in Sector 8. It is a huge nest with a vertical span of more than 20 meters."

Hunting Zikmando is a top priority.

For this reason, Li Nuo engraved the entire layout of the Demonized Rat's Nest in his mind.

As for helping the Iron Thorn Shield guard the third underground floor, Li Nuo looked at the alchemy products on the alchemy table. He had already refined the alchemy tools for himself to guard the third underground floor.

"Okay, stop fantasizing. I'm going to get down to business."

Li Nuo rested for a while and regained some energy.

He came to the alchemy table and continued to study the "self-propelled camera".

At the same time Li Nuo stayed up late working on his plan.

In a study room in Cat Club Manor.

The lady is holding a tea cup and flipping through a magic book with dynamic pictures.

Filia knocked on the door and entered the room, with a hint of anger and grievance on her face.

"Teacher, that Jackmando is really hateful. Yesterday he broke Li Lei's improved wand, and today he took away magic materials and a sum of aggregate coins from me under the pretext of rushing to make a spiked wand.

Only he knows how to remove the magic lock on the spiked wand. And he refuses to tell us how to remove it. He is only willing to lend us the wand occasionally. Do we really want to cooperate with such a person tomorrow?"

Facing Filia who was complaining to her, the lady put down her teacup, licked her red lips and said:

"What a vivid lesson, isn't it? Filia. Under my care, you grew up like a healthy and lively bird. When you were able to try to escape from my protection and soar into the sky by yourself, the rain and thunder

It has arrived.

"It's not that you are unlucky. As soon as you tried to receive the visiting wizard, you met scum and scum. It's that this sky was originally filled with gloom. The peace and comfort you felt before were artificially created.

It’s the result of my extra care for you.”

"Yes, teacher, I understand. I, Sandora, and several other wizards are all able to grow up happily because of your care."

Filia lowered her arms, folded her hands uneasily in front of her, and lowered her head, feeling a little helpless:

"So how should I face Zikmando? I can feel that he only has one level of strength, and I am better than him. But his cunning makes me less confident and sure. I always worry that he hides some strength.

The most important thing is that Guikmando refused to completely remove the magic lock on the spiked wand and give it to us for use. Counting his own wand and the wand he made after taking the materials from me, he has a total of two

It’s a spiked wand. It’s really abominable. We obviously provided the materials, but they refused to give us the finished wand.”

"What is the name of our magical institution, Filia?"

"Judgement of the Elements."

"Yes, elements and judgment. The use of elemental energy is our foundation. And judgment is our mission."

The lady snapped her fingers, and a key made of crystal flew out of the desk drawer and fell smoothly into Filia's hand:

"Over the past few years, I have taught you how to use elemental energy. Now it is time to guide you on the path of judgment. Take this key and it will naturally tell you what to do when your heart is filled with anger.

Do."

Filia looked at the crystal key in her hand and felt something attracting her.

This feeling is very vague, like a call coming from an unreachable mountaintop.

The noble lady looked at Filia who was in a daze and warned:

"I'm only worried about one thing, Filia. I'm worried that Zikmando will use the underground trap space to plot against you. You have mastered the method of identifying trap spaces and know how to avoid them. But you still have to be careful, I'm afraid that Zikmando

There are other accomplices, such as the illegal alchemists in the black city. If they are numerous and force you into a trap space, things will be in trouble."

"Other accomplices? Illegal alchemists in the black city?" Filia came back to her senses:

"You mean, Ji'kmando will betray us? Why?"

The lady pondered for a moment and said:

"Yes, he will do it as long as the benefits far outweigh the risks.

"If I could use the hands of illegal alchemists to erase you without leaving a trace, safely take away the loot, and escape into the Black City, I don't think Jackmando would refuse such an opportunity. In this case, your

Life is the certificate of surrender for Zikmando to throw himself into the Black City.

"Filia, the way of wizards is very cruel, I think you can feel it now."

"Yes, teacher, I will definitely be more careful and keep an eye on Jackmando." Filia nodded heavily, with a serious look on her face, and tightly grasped the crystal key in her hand.

The lady clicked her fingers, and a barrel-shaped spell scroll floated out from the drawer and fell into Filia's hand:

"Take this. It contains a very useful high-level elemental magic - "Elemental Vision"."

Filia caught the scroll and opened her mouth slightly, a little surprised:

"Is this the high-level elemental magic that can ignore walls and obstacles and see the status of elemental energy divisions?"

"Yes." The lady smiled slightly and said:

"High-level magic is also called professor-level magic. You can learn them only after you become a professor. When you have the strength of the third ring, you can temporarily borrow the magic power of the professor to cast high-level magic.

"You are now a second-level wizard and can only cast high-level magic through magic scrolls.

"The magic scroll that records high-level magic is very precious. You are my student, and you have to risk your life to perform the trial mission, so I can't be stingy. You will use this magic scroll, so keep it."

"Yes, thank you teacher~"
