It is now November, and the nights are very cold. There is no fire pit or heating in Faerun, so the temperature in the alchemy laboratory is very low at night. However, fortunately, when refining the potion, the heat generated by the magic crystal lamp makes
The surrounding area of the test bench can be warmer, so it won't be so uncomfortable.
Under the forced order, Shirley lay on the bed and fell asleep, while Xiao Ming continued to work on the prison escape plan. After nearly a month of preparation, he finally produced enough ZHA bombs for the number of other-world versions he planned. Now he is in
The final finishing work is being carried out to decorate the bomb.
Originally, Xiao Ming had been struggling with how to detonate the bomb and throw it directly. He might have been killed before it exploded, or even himself. He might have set up some mechanism. He really couldn't figure out how to design it.
Edward only has the knowledge of refining potions in his head.
But by chance, he remembered that when he was studying history, he discovered that there was a sports game in Britain that was very similar to football on Earth. This gave him a flash of inspiration and thought of a method.
Flying ball, a favorite sports game of the British people, cannot be kicked with hands, only with feet. The way to win is to kick the ball into the opponent's door, because the ball is always passed around.
It looks like it's flying in the air, so people here call it a flying ball.
You can imagine that a group of guards patrolling at midnight are bored and see a flying ball on the ground in the corridor. They will definitely think that someone abandoned it during the day. At this time, most people will not be able to help but kick it.
That is, he discovered that there was a heavy iron ball under his feet, but by that time it was too late, and the thing under his feet had already exploded! This is the inertial mind that Xiao Ming envisioned. In his opinion, whether it is a person from another world or a person from another world,
People on earth, as long as they are human, will have inertia in their hearts!
Britain is very humid, so most people will build a fireplace at home to dry the house every now and then. It is already around ten o'clock in the evening, and there is a thick fog outside. Looking from the outside, through the window, you can see
Seeing the light shining from time to time in the room where Xiao Ming was, it was the flame in the fireplace, burning a kind of very flammable firewood. Shirley was afraid of the cold, so Xiao Ming moved the bed to a place not too far away from the fireplace.
Fortunately, a servant would light a fire for him in advance every day, so it wouldn't be so cold when he got home.
The firelight of the fireplace was flickering on and off. Xiao Ming was sitting next to Shirley, who had been forced into a deep sleep by the password. Xiao Ming hoped to take this woman away after coming to Faerun.
, but the actual problem is that she does not trust Xiao Ming in her heart, and it is also impossible for Xiao Ming to tell her his escape plan. Although the two have slept with each other, even on earth, the relationship maintained by sleeping with each other will not be the same.
It's very fragile. Not to mention the continent of Faerûn, a world where the weak eat the strong.
Finally, Xiao Ming sighed and kissed Shirley gently on the cheek, "Whether I succeed or fail, those two people will probably not be angry with you. This is the only thing I can do for you.
I won’t see you again~~ Take care..”
"Squeak~~~~" Xiao Ming gently closed the door.
The Salo Chamber of Commerce is a huge castle, starting from the underground to the ground, and is divided into many floors. On the outside of the castle are four tall walls, two gates, and four corners. Each corner is guarded.
The castle is divided into many areas, such as the alchemy laboratory on the fourth floor where Ming is located, the auction room dedicated to slave auctions on the first floor, and the largest underground slave area in the entire castle. Xiao Ming takes advantage of his privilege to move freely within the chamber of commerce, except
Except for some more special and important places, he basically visited all the places he could go. At the same time, with the help of his increasingly powerful memory, Xiao Ming has firmly memorized the structural road map of the entire chamber of commerce in his mind.
middle.
Speaking of this, I have to mention Xiao Ming’s ability to devour souls! Although Xiao Ming is not curious about where his ability comes from, he has never given up on studying this ability because he knows that he wants to escape here.
God, this ability is his greatest guarantee.
After some summary, Xiao Ming came to the conclusion that his ability is to devour the soul of the person who just died and gain the other person's memory at the same time. But for now, after devouring Edward's soul, this ability has become secondary.
of.
And his two derived abilities are the biggest help for him to escape. One of them is to let Ming's memory and analytical skills continue to improve. For example, suppose Xiao Ming's brain is a computer.
, when he was on Earth, his central processor was just a 286 chip (one of the ancient processors), but when he came to Faerun, he successively swallowed the souls of Don Quixote and Edward. At this time, he was already a 586 chip.
Chip.
And another ability is to perceive the soul! Xiao Ming discovered that as long as it is within the range of his perception, no matter how hidden it is, and regardless of whether Xiao Ming wants to see it or not, he will be forced to see the location of the soul. The further away, the blurr it becomes.
The closer it is, the clearer it is, and different souls have different colors in Xiao Ming's eyes. The more powerful the soul, the more solid it is, and on the contrary, it is looser. Currently, the furthest distance that can be seen is close to 100 meters, and the clearest one can be seen.
The distance to see the location of the soul is about 60 meters..
Although this has brought difficulties to Xiao Ming's life to a certain extent, it has also brought hope for him to escape!
Using this and the complicated roads of the castle, he could easily avoid the patrolling guards. For example, now, he used his ability to successfully avoid the patrolling guards under the cover of night and came to
Alchemy Laboratory, by the way, there are no lights in the castle at night. When it is foggy outside, the castle becomes even darker at night.
The patrolling guards all carry magic crystal lamps. As for using magic crystal lamps to illuminate a large area, it is not lighting, but burning gold coins.
"Having worked here for so long, I feel a little reluctant to blow it up all of a sudden..."
Although Xiao Ming said this, his movements did not stop at all. At this time, he was holding a metal dissolving agent that he had previously refined with a capacity the size of two footballs. He used a rope to tie the two glass pieces together.
Tie a large glass with five flowers, then carefully hang it up through the beam, tie the other end of the rope to the leg of the test bench, and then place buckets filled with water directly under the glass. There are also other things in the bucket.
Several upright metal rods, and finally a magic crystal lamp placed next to it under the rope next to the table leg.
It is a very simple delay device. When the magic crystal lamp is ignited, the rope will be ignited. If it is burned, the glass cup full of metal dissolving agent will fall down. If it encounters a metal rod, it will be broken.
The collision between water and metal dissolving agent will produce a huge explosion!
Of course, this was just the first part of the plan. After everything was ready, Xiao Ming started the second step of the plan! Put the nine bombs that looked like flying balls that he had hidden in two bags into them.
There were four on one side and five on the other. After lighting the magic crystal lamp, they carefully left the laboratory with a bag in one hand.
Xiao Ming's pace is not very fast. The first reason is that he is afraid that walking too fast will cause the bomb in the bag to explode. The second reason is that he is not in a hurry. Based on previous experiments, he has adjusted the flame of the magic crystal lamp to the minimum.
, it will take at least fifteen minutes for it to burn through the rope.
Along the way, Xiao Ming would place a flying ball at a conspicuous position at a fork in the road or at the entrance of the stairs at regular intervals. The position was so precise that Xiao Ming himself had the urge to go up and kick it.
Eight of the nine balls were placed, and the last one with a special shape was put away, which was needed for the third plan.
Finally, Xiao Ming found a blind corner that was also shrouded in darkness, and squatted there quietly, waiting for the explosion to come.
