Chapter 19 Mantis Catching Cicadas(1/2)
Before that bloody day fell from the end of the sky, the sacred knights who entered Wanye City finally set off again.
Xiu Yi felt glad from the bottom of his heart any well-deployed plan hated the intervention of external forces. The accidents they brought usually only make all perfect tricks aborted.
So when the Saint Knights left Shanye City, he felt that the God of Luck was still favoring him at least at this moment.
The streets were quiet at night, and almost no one could be seen.
Xiu Yi was walking on the empty road, and Feng Ying was exploring the road for him. He wanted to break free from the arms of beautiful women like Cong Daisy and Lanti to test the boy's will. Sometimes Xiu Yi himself doubted whether the road he chose at this moment had a tendency to be self-abuse. Maybe God dropped him into the singing and dancing troupe in the hope that he would live a peaceful and peaceful life from now on, but he chose another more difficult road, which made him destined to have no fate with the beautiful life of Yihong and Green, and all that was accompanied by him was conspiracy and killing.
The Lord's Mansion is not far ahead.
After guarding in the Black Palm Bar for more than a month, he had been familiar with the situation here. This time can be said to be the most relaxed moment for the Lord's Mansion to defend. The Master Ablitt was not in the Lord's Mansion. According to custom, he conducted his own space magic experiment in a villa outside the city. He would not come here without any need.
Two warriors guarding the door of the lord's mansion.
It is not too difficult for a magician to enter the lord's mansion through the eyes of the warrior. The difficulty is how to determine the storage location of the Electra's notes. He already knows that Ablitt has a secret treasure room in this lord's mansion, and the only question is where it is.
Xiuyi intends to use some simple and practical methods to solve this problem.
"Hong, let's see you." He said softly.
A pair of flaming birds rose into the sky. They circled over the Lord's Mansion for a while, then suddenly opened their mouths and spit out raging flames at the Lord's Mansion.
A large number of fire elements gushed out like a volcano, raging around frantically, and a shiny flame rose in the dark night sky.
The fire caused chaos in the lord's mansion. A large number of warriors, guards and servants rushed out shouting and shouting.
Standing on the roof of a house eaves, Xiu Yi raised his hand gently, and three wind warblers were released by him and flew to every corner of the lord's mansion. These places are the most likely places to exist in treasures.
When a chief guard rushed to the backyard with a large group of people, Jingkuan received the eyes of Xiuyi, and he knew that it was his target.
He was not in a hurry. The fire would have to make the guards mess for a while. All he needed to do was wait before he started.
The two arsonists, Red and Green, have returned at this time, and are staying on their own, showing off their respective contributions. As a reward, Xiu Yi took out two fire crystals and gave them one piece.
The two guys stretched their necks and swallowed the crystal and burped comfortably. The little demon Longxu looked at Xiu Yi with a pitiful look, and Xiu Yi twisted his ears: "There is no reward if you don't work hard."
The little guy made a sad whimper, lying on Xiuyi's legs and his tail kept shaking.
Fengying sent back the voices of the guards:
"Report to the captain, no enemy invasion was found."
"Report, the secret room is safe."
"Reported that the fire has been controlled and no casualties."
"Was anyone who has fired up?" That was the captain's voice.
"Yes, someone saw two birds flying over the sky, looking like two fire elemental birds."
"Fire-type elemental bird? This is impossible!"
"It may also be an ordinary fire magic bird, but someone did see the two birds spitting fire downwards."
"Are you instructed?"
"Not seeing the light of the magic contract."
"Oh, damn it! Do I want to explain to the Lord that two passers-by Liberty monsters burned his mansion because it was fun for a while?"
"…I'm afraid I can only explain this, Captain."
Below is a series of angry scoldings from the irritable captain.
Xiuyi looked at Hong and Green with a smile: "Good job, the passerby Free Warcraft? Hum?"
Red and Green proudly raised their heads.
Neither red, green or Xu had signed any contract with Xiuyi for any situation. Xiuyi's respect for them is the greatest guarantee for their friendship. Although they have always followed Xiuyi, they are indeed free. They are an equal existence with each other, and they have a kind of mutual respect between good friends.
As the fire went out, the crowd gradually dissipated and everyone returned to everyone.
The night returned to its calm again.
Standing on the eaves in the distance, Xiu Yi gently recited the spell, and the door of space suddenly opened.
Xiu Yi stepped in and the next moment, he had appeared in the lord's mansion.
He released a magic power casually, and Xiu Yi tried his best to extract the magic power from Xu's body to make up for his own consumption.
The amount of magic required to open up a space channel is not something that Xiu Yi can bear at all. Fortunately, the little demon dragon plays the role of a magic replenisher at this moment. Compared with magic recovery potions and magic stimulators, the biggest benefit of the little guy's existence is to save money.
Xu hummed with dissatisfaction with this, and Xiu Yi threw it a crystal stone as a reward.
Next he walked in the lord's mansion, as if he was walking in his back garden.
Ablitt's secret room is in a rockery in the backyard. It takes special techniques to open the passage to the rockery inside.
At this moment, when he came to the rockery, everything was as he had guessed. The rockery was surrounded by some strange runes. In the eyes of those who don’t understand, these marks looked like graffiti works by children here, but in Xiuyi’s eyes, every carving and every symbol have its unique meaning.
The alchemist is a rich magician in this world. They are carefully studying various magic theories and their understanding of magic arrays and barriers is far better than that of ordinary magicians. Although Xiu Yi himself is not a magic array expert in the alchemy field, he is still confident that he can crack the magic array barrier set up by a space mage. The difficulty is that the space master's power is too strong. It is really difficult to think of a trace of movement to crack him without letting the master notice it.
He thought for a while and finally decided to use the safest method.
The advanced magic barrier of space system is broken.
This is a five-level space spell. As a primary mage in the space system, it is impossible to use such a spell. Fortunately, Xiu Yi is also an alchemist. The mystery of alchemists is that they can always use other auxiliary means to complete the magic that magicians can use, and all this has nothing to do with the level, but it only has how much knowledge they have and how many conditions they have.
The next moment, Xiu Yi began to arrange the "enchant barrier to break" magic array. This magic array can use the spell of the outbreak barrier to break instead of him. Although it cannot be used casually like a space mage, it does not have enough power. It consumes a certain amount of material and energy crystals every time it is used. However, based on this point alone, it can be seen that the strongest name of the alchemist is indeed unique to him.
In a face-to-face combat state, the alchemist may be the weakest, but as long as they are given enough time and preparation, they can do things that great magicians cannot do. This truth has been repeatedly confirmed.
After the arranged magic circle was activated, a slight noise sounded. Fortunately, Xiuyi also set up a soundproof barrier in advance. As a small ball of white light light appeared, the defensive barrier arranged by Ablitt was broken, and a dark passage appeared inside the rockery in front of him.
Releasing the wind and beards to explore the way, a phosphorescent grass in Xiuyi's palm emits a faint light, shining on the road under Xiuyi's feet.
He walked inside.
There was no ambush in the passage. It seemed that Ablitt trusted the space defense barrier he set up quite well. Space-based spells have always been the most powerful in barriers. Most of the people who can break the space barrier are also teachers of the space. In the Lance Empire, those who can surpass Ablitt in space magic have not yet appeared.
So Ablitt would never have thought that an alchemist would easily find his secret treasure land and easily break his defensive barrier. You should know that even if you make a "enchant break" magic array, it would not be possible for any alchemist to do it.
Not long after walking, Xiu Yi saw the light shining from the magic lamp in the distance.
Rows of shelves appeared in front of me, with some small wooden boxes on them. Most of the ones stored were magic gems, rare alchemy materials and some magic scrolls.
In the middle of the secret room, there is a small platform.
There was a slightest place on it.
Xiuyi knew that it was another Electra notes that he came to find.
No one can tell how many notes about alchemy left by Electra back then. But for the alchemists, even if the ancient artifacts were placed in front of them, they were not more valuable than Electra's notes.
What Shuyi got from Pier was an essay about Electra's early work on the puppet. For Shuyi, the notes were not very important. This is mainly because unless Shuyi was sure to create a legion of trolls that could compete with the Lance Empire, thousands of puppets were less meaningful to him than a bottle of disguise potion that could disguise him as others. After all, the puppets could not be collected into the space ring due to the existence of their souls. A puppets that could not fight against their opponents did not have much benefit except exposing their existence and killing several more enemies.
So he hoped to get a note on Electra's other achievements. The field of alchemy is huge and complicated. Xiuyi believes that he still has a lot to learn.
The note in front of me deeply attracted Xiu Yi at this moment.
However, he did not start immediately, but carefully observed the surrounding arrangements.
After confirming that there was no mechanism, he took the notes.
Turning on the first page, a row of familiar handwriting appears before your eyes:
"Essay on the Magic Pattern Production."
It is obvious that Electra's later notes have much higher value and technical achievements than the one on Purgatory Island. After all, the first one is just a work from Electra's early students. Even if it is mainly made of magic puppets, there are still many immature places.
However, when Xiu Yi opened the book in front of him, he couldn't help but feel much disappointed.
Because this note is not a note that records the results of the magic pattern, but also records Electra's notes when studying and making magic patterns. The entire note does not give a definite answer to the results of the magic pattern engraving, but instead provides many fresh ideas.
For Xiuyi, these ideas will be of great help to his future growth, but judging from the current situation, they are not considered too valuable treasures.
After putting away the notes, Xiu Yi's eyes swam around him.
He hopes to find some other valuable items.
The collection of the Level 6 space master cannot be considered rich, but for Xiu Yi, who has experienced his career in Purgatory Island, the rare materials and magical gems in front of him are simply impossible to compare with those in his ring. Naturally, he has to accept it, but the feeling of surprise is far from reaching.
When he was depressed that he had entered Baoshan but had not found any valuable items, a map attracted his attention.
This is a map of Peking University 6. The map itself can be said to be shoddy and not a fine product. What surprised Xiuyi was that there was a thick red line on the map that ran through the entire Lance Empire. The red line experiences the red line and is marked with conspicuous symbols in all regions.
In one of the areas, someone drew a circle with ink strokes and made annotations: Red Sun Mountains, Electra Second Laboratory, has been empty, and I got a second notebook, (verified correctly).
Xiuyi's heart leaped wildly.
Xiuyi finally understood how the notes on Purgatory Island were obtained.
There is no doubt that the Lance Empire was pursuing the laboratory of the former Electra. They probably made such a map based on the legendary routes Electra had taken, and sent a large number of people to find the laboratory where Electra might be hidden somewhere.
After years of searching, the Lance Empire finally found a place like this and obtained two notes from it. It seems that space master Ablitt was one of the main personnel who pursued the Electra Laboratory back then. After all, space spells have unique advantages in breaking barriers and finding hidden spaces.
After getting these two notebooks, Ablitt left himself a note, the magic pattern essay in front of him. Because the space master Ablitt has a high status, even the emperor is unwilling to force him to do so. From a deeper perspective, the popularity of magic pattern production is indeed not good for the Lance Empire. Talent is an important basis for magicians to distinguish them from civilians, and it is the basic foothold of the theory of noble bloodline. The popularity of magic patterns has a great power over the magic hierarchy, which will seriously weaken the control of the nobles over the lower class of civilians. Just like the proliferation will cause the weakening of the government's dominance and the chaos of social security, the engraving of magic patterns is equivalent to a magic that everyone can use.
Therefore, the Lance Empire could pursue any great wisdom of Electra, but the production of magic patterns was sealed and kept and not allowed to be owned or disclosed by anyone. This may be the important reason why Ablitz could keep this note. So no matter how Hynes asked for this note, Ablitz insisted on refusing it, but now it fell into the hands of Xiuyi.
However, for Xiuyi, the map in front of him is obviously more substantial.
It is obvious that the Lance Empire divided and studied all the places where Electra might set up laboratories and conducted long-term explorations. Although they finally found only one Electra laboratory, it also shows that there are indeed other laboratories hidden in the above-mentioned locations.
