Star Forge Titan

As a result, the moment Bryant saw Scarlett out of the corner of his eye, he immediately turned around like a nimble skunk and ran back to the attic on the third floor.

What a joke! Why would a senior agent from Section 9 of the Linde Public Security Bureau, who specializes in matters related to extraordinary beings, end up here?

After a lot of trouble, Bryant finally made himself look like a human being, and then he walked down the attic nervously.

As a result, we saw Khayang chatting and laughing with the female agent. The black-robed wizard made the other party laugh uncontrollably with just a few words, and the two seemed to have a very harmonious relationship.

"As expected of a Lutetia who is always at the forefront of fashion, ma'am, your outfit today simply brightens up this shabby reception room." Kayon leaned forward, sitting only half of his buttocks on the footstool next to the sofa, and spoke compliments with a flattering expression while lowering his head.

"Wow, young gentleman, you really know how to talk." Scarlett, who was sitting on the sofa in the middle, slowly raised a small folding fan to cover her lips, and let out a string of silver bell-like laughter.

On the other side of the sofa, Alvin raised his hand to support his forehead, with an expression of "I don't know him".

After the polite words, the living room suddenly fell into silence.

Scarlett looked at Ivan with a smile, and the latter immediately realized that he had something to say, but it was inconvenient to say it in a crowded environment.

Then, Aiwen suddenly spoke:

"Bryant."

"What's wrong, boss?" Because he was hired temporarily, Bryant subconsciously called his new employer "boss".

"There's an armored vehicle downstairs. Please go and clean it up." Ivan said in a very natural tone:

"Armored vehicle? Wait, is it the same one from last time?" Bryant twitched his lips. He certainly knew how badly he had harmed that car and its owner last time.

The hairy druid didn't feel any guilt about this. Baron Lincoln wanted to catch him and kill him. Not to mention turning into a skunk to feed him fart, even turning into a bear and hitting his head off would not be too much.

but……

Bryant's face instantly turned very ugly at the thought of cleaning the armored vehicle that had been fumigated by Skunk with special gas.

"Add more money, double it." Ivan said bluntly:

"Okay, boss! No problem, boss!" The next moment, Bryant jumped out of the window with a mop and rag, and at the same time, his whole body quickly turned into a skunk in mid-air.

He was smart. Since the car was already smelly, he just cleaned it in a way that was not afraid of the smell.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that I have an experiment to do." Ka Yang clapped his hands and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Sorry, ma'am, although it's very pleasant to chat with you, I have to leave for a while." After saying that, he stood up and kissed her hand, then waved with a smile and walked back quickly out of the living room.

Scarlett smiled and waved at the other person until the door of the living room was closed again.

So, only Alvin and the female agent were left in this spacious reception room.

"Your companions are all very interesting." Scarlett blinked and said with a chuckle:

"Indeed." Alvin nodded.

The black-haired boy leaned back on the leather sofa, supporting his cheek with one hand, not showing the slightest sign of being shaken by the mature and lovely woman in front of him.

"So, could you please tell me why you're here today, Ms. Scarlett Jost?"

"It's not easy to please women by being so direct, is it?" Female Agent Scarlett suddenly said:

"Really? I feel like I'm pretty popular." Ivan replied noncommittally.

"Oh, this doesn't seem difficult to understand." Scarlett chuckled and looked carefully at the handsome boy in front of her.

The man's appearance was strikingly handsome, yet he exuded an exceptionally sharp aura, like a sword whose brilliance was unabashed, making it difficult to look away. His tall, slender, and well-built frame exuded a powerful and impactful presence.

Even if you have only seen it a few times, you will feel inexplicably close to it, as if you are attracted to it.

"Okay, let's stop chatting for now." Scarlett coughed lightly, and her facial expression changed. Although her mature and sexy appearance did not change, she suddenly revealed a tense seriousness.

"As an alchemist, you should understand how dangerous it is for a noble with extraordinary heritage to get involved in the forbidden drug industry."

"Well, poppy extract is not a good thing." Alvin nodded.

"Besides, a powerful aristocrat in office is suspected of trafficking illegal drugs. This is also a very embarrassing scandal for Linde officials, right?"

"That's right." Scarlett did not deny it.

"You may have guessed that there are other high-ranking nobles behind the other party, but I hope you will not continue to get involved in this matter and instead focus on the subsequent competitions."

This is an easy conclusion to draw. You know, no matter how bold a baron is, even if he has some real power, he can't just get involved in the drug industry because of greed. That is an act that is strongly prohibited by the top leaders of various countries and the multinational organization, the Church of Knowledge.

No matter how much money you have, you still have to live to spend it. And the patron who makes a baron dare to participate in it must be a great noble who can make him feel that this thing is feasible. In other words,

That is at least a marquis. If it were an earl, it would be impossible for him to have such great power.

"For young people who want to join Linde, the upcoming Youth Magic Car Competition is a great opportunity," Scarlett said with a smile.

"Oh? Are you here to be a lobbyist?" Alvin raised his eyebrows, tapping the armrest of the sofa rhythmically with his fingers, and the ring on his ring finger flashed a metallic reflection.

"On the contrary, I swore allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor. Although he..." When talking about the current Emperor Lind, Scarlett's expression became slightly strange.

"Although His Majesty is a bit too free-spirited, he is actually a very good person. He is willing to trust even a mixed-race person like me." The female agent lowered her eyes and said softly:

She quickly suppressed the true emotions that had unconsciously leaked out of her heart, and was also a little surprised why she said these things.

"In short, Public Security Section Nine will investigate this matter thoroughly, but it's best for civilians like you not to get involved. Otherwise, not only might you alert the mastermind behind this, but you might also end up in danger."

"Isn't that better? If those guys come to attack me, wouldn't you just be able to catch them by the tail?" Ivan didn't mind the danger mentioned by the other party at all, but asked curiously:

"What a joke! The sheriff's job is to protect the people, not use them as bait." Scarlett narrowed her eyes and said sternly:

"Sorry, I said too much." Alvin raised his hand to apologize, and his original doubts were dispelled a lot.

With his perception now reaching the extraordinary realm, although he cannot absolutely distinguish whether the person in front of him is telling the truth or a lie, he can still make some indirect inferences from the subtle expressions in the other person's words.

"Anyway, that's what I want to say. If you find anything wrong around you, notify the sheriff immediately and we will send someone over right away." Scarlett said seriously.

"I understand." Alvin nodded to show that he understood, but only God knew what he was thinking in his heart.

After seeing off the female agent who had suddenly visited, Ka Yang, who had just disappeared, appeared again.

"How feasible do you think her words are?" The necromancer, who had not been in the living room before, suddenly asked:

Ivan glanced at him but didn't find it strange at all.

"Half." The black-haired boy shrugged.

"Actually half of it? Is it because of the lady's broad mind?" Ka Yang chuckled.

"Oh, that's it?" Alvin glanced at him and laughed disdainfully.

Although the black-haired boy only said a few words, Khayon's expression froze. His fists slowly clenched, and his teeth rubbed against each other, making a 'crunching' sound.

NMD, WSM! ? !

Just as the necromancer was about to fall to the ground while munching on a lemon, another person was crawling on the ground in the posture of a tiger in the Swan Castle in the inner city of Lutetia.

"Please, sister who is connected to me by blood! Please help your brother who lacks the nourishment of love and whose heart is almost withering like a rose!"

The current Emperor of Lind, His Majesty Conrad Karl Drusus Carolingian, was now crawling without any posture on the natural marble floor tiles with luxurious textures but extremely cold. Tears were streaming down his handsome face under his golden hair, like a high school boy who skipped school to go to the Internet cafe but was caught halfway.

"..." Catherine folded her arms across her chest, with a cold face and not saying a word.

"Three days! Three whole days have passed! My sister, do you know how I managed to get through these three days!?!" Conrad pounded his chest with his hands as if he was about to burst into tears.

"Be decent, brother. You only worked for three days." Catherine pressed the throbbing veins on her forehead and said in a low voice:

"But I haven't been to the Moulin Rouge to let myself go for three days!" Conrad wailed.

“…” Catherine looked up at the ceiling and said sorry in her heart to her uncle who passed away early.

Then, she walked to the bookshelf next to her, pulled out a book to open the secret room hidden behind the bookshelf, and took out a wig and a magic prop for changing her body shape.

Stuffing her long hair into the wig, Catherine sighed deeply at Conrad, who looked hopeful.

"For one day only."

"Great!"

Chapter 96: Adapting to Changes

Outside in the yard, a black and white skunk holding a mop and rag was humming as it cleaned.

In the workshop, Alvin was maintaining the guns, and Khayon was adjusting two duel wands.

Compared to the duel wands that are very common among low-level spellcasters, the crusher, a weapon with unique personal characteristics, cannot be used freely in Linde.

But considering the recent undercurrents in Lutetia, Alvin still had to make sure that this weapon could fire normally when necessary.

At the same time, promotion to the Knight of Embers has become something that needs to be completed as soon as possible.

Frankly speaking, after mastering the foundation of the Great Mystery Realm and tapping into another path of Titan bloodline, the Extraordinary route is not as valuable to Alvin as it is to others.

Normally, a first-level Transcendent primarily strengthens their physical body, transcending the constraints of their subconscious safety instincts and beginning to sense the existence of magic. Spellcasters can gain a slight degree of spellcasting ability in advance. Therefore, Transcendents of this rank are called Disciples.

The second level is to acquire and refine magic power, thereby mastering complete spellcasting capabilities. Combat professionals will also begin to gain spell-like abilities and talents. This difference from the first-level transcendents makes the second-level transcendents called recipients.

But the above no longer mattered to Ivan. His current physical fitness had already surpassed that of most ordinary second-level transcendents, and could even astound those third-level transcendents who hadn't yet reached their peak. That was why he had half-jokingly told Ka Yang that he didn't need to exercise.

In reality, Ivan had discovered that ordinary muscle training wasn't enough to make him stronger. He'd rather spend his time improving his swordsmanship, horsemanship, and other skills, or focusing on two extraordinary combat techniques.

The experience gained in the game has not yet been fully transformed into real strength, so his swordsmanship is currently at an intermediate level of proficiency in using weapons, and has not yet reached the master level of perfection.

When Alvin thought of this, he couldn't help but reveal a subtle expression.

Having said that, if an ordinary transcendent of the same level or second level wants to narrow the attribute gap between himself and others by relying on technical differences, it is by no means an easy task.

To be precise, except for masters who were given titles like "Sword Saint", most second-level and even some third-level extraordinary people, even if they had technical advantages, would basically be pinned to the ground and beaten by a barbarian with double A in strength and speed, and equally good perception and intelligence attributes.

Besides, even if the opponent is good at swordsmanship, doesn't he still have the Destroyer, a big, powerful gun that makes a loud "bang" sound when used?

The biggest gap between Alvin and the third-level extraordinary person actually lies in whether the soul ability is awakened.

The various soul abilities awakened by extraordinary people after reaching a high level are strange and varied. Some powerful abilities are even enough to completely change the holder's original fighting style.

That is no longer a gap that can be easily made up by simply relying on exaggerated and all-round enhanced attributes, but the Titan bloodline itself possesses the unreasonable core talent of [Reshaping the World]. In a sense, it seems that the difference is not that big.

Moreover, as long as he continues to complete the foundation of the Great Mystery Realm, the awakening of his soul power is a foregone conclusion. The fully formed 'Soul of the King of Uranus' will definitely give the descendants of the Titans powerful powers far beyond ordinary soul abilities.

However, in addition to the strengthening and tempering of the soul and the awakening of abilities, the bonuses of the extraordinary route in two other aspects cannot be ignored.

First of all, promotion can further increase his own values. In more game-like terms, it is to increase the base value of the character's attributes (the actual value after excluding external bonuses).

Even if the Ash Knight only grants a few talents and professional skills to the promoted, it's foreseeable that the enhanced vitality will bring further attribute improvements. Considering that Ivan's current base stats are already extremely high, further improvement would simply...

Furthermore, although the Ash Knight belongs to the ancient profession, its exclusive talents and main skills are simple and crude enough.

Although Ivan hadn't yet fully analyzed all the ancient documents related to the Ash Knight, regardless of the rank in the sequence, the talents and professions were all related to the materials required for advancement. It was entirely possible to analyze the effects of skills and talents from the material properties.

Judging from the Heavenly Fire Light that he has mastered the method of refining, combined with the ancient documents that record information about the ancient profession of the Ash Knight.

Ivan speculated that the main skill of this profession, the so-called Ash Armor, was likely to rely on highly concentrated "photochemical positive energy" to form a force field that was almost materialized light pressure, creating additional protection on the body surface similar to force field armor.

In the original world, light pressure is the pressure generated by light shining on an object, so it is also called radiation pressure. However, this imperceptible pressure is probably negligible even if it is made into armor. Therefore, the ash armor generated by the "Light of Skyfire" is obviously not that simple.

However, even though the physical knowledge of the original world cannot be fully applicable to the Palladia world, considering the macroscopic performance of this world, it can obviously still be used as a reference.

Then, just as light pressure increases with the momentum density and angle of incidence, this might mean that the higher the purity of the "Light of Heavenly Fire" one refines, the higher the defensive strength and upper limit of the resulting Ash Armor will be after completing the Ascension Ritual.

Wait, now that I think about it, something seems to be wrong.

Compared to the slow and inefficient primitive method in the original materials, the purity of the Heavenly Fire Light that Alvin can now obtain has even exceeded the limit recorded by the person who invented the Ash Knight profession.

Moreover, if the area of ​​the convex lens used for refining is further enlarged, the purity of the obtained "Light of Heavenly Fire" may be further increased.

Realizing this, the black-haired boy couldn't help but pause what he was doing.

"What's wrong?" After debugging the duel wand, Khayang looked up at him.

"Just, I suddenly thought of a question." Alvin looked thoughtful.

He was unsure whether the 'Light of Skyfire', whose purity continued to increase, met the standards of the materials required for the Ash Knight's promotion ceremony.

The difference between the white flames burning in the ionized state and the pure white light described in ancient records is almost the same. In the game, I don’t think I have heard of anyone replacing the materials of the promotion ceremony with other things and successfully completing it. The game system does not allow players to do so.

However, even though the purity of the Light of Heavenly Fire is different from that of the Light of Heavenly Fire, their essence is still the same... right?

"If, I mean if." Alvin considered his words.

"What would happen if, during the promotion ceremony, a material with the same properties but higher purity was used to replace the original material?"

"Huh?" Ka Yang was stunned for a moment and soon showed a strange expression.

Compared to a former player who obtained information from the game, he, a genuine wizard, has received complete spell training and is extremely familiar with various information related to extraordinary people.

Therefore, when he heard Alvin's question, he quickly thought of seven or eight similar cases recorded in books.

"First of all, the material formulas used in the promotion rituals currently perfected by each sequence are basically the best formulas obtained after many trials and errors." Ka Yang raised his eyebrows, revealing an extremely serious expression.
