Facing Neia's continuous questions, Froud did not answer, but asked: "Did you read the letter I asked the Royal Knights to send to you a few days ago? How is the progress of your investigation over there, and who is it?"
Are you using human sacrifices?"
Neia frowned, she knew that Froude was talking about the Yinyun Principality. But it was so close to the time when she sent people to investigate, how could she get the news immediately.
Froude should know...but why did he mention it specifically?
Suddenly, Neia remembered the letter from Frode, which clearly stated that human sacrifice was discovered by a wizard passing by, and she hoped that it would be taken seriously.
At that time, Neia was still thinking about who this so-called wizard was, but she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried, so she simply gave it up. Now that Froud specifically mentioned this, could he mean something?
Neia thought about this and looked at Froud again, only to see the latter constantly glancing at the red-haired man next to her out of the corner of her eye. The hint was very obvious.
As an old friend of Froude, Neia's heart moved and she immediately understood.
"There is no news from there yet. Once it does, I will tell you immediately."
After the words fell, Neia walked to Angel respectfully and said solemnly: "I was too impatient just now and did not find the wizard at the first time. I hope you will forgive me."
Neia's words made the old apprentice behind her look confused, but Frod on the other side had a smile on his face.
Angel was also a little surprised. Neia actually insisted that he was the wizard. He had obviously disguised himself... Angel thought of something and glanced at Froud. He immediately understood the cause and effect.
Angel was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "It doesn't matter."
When Neia heard that Angel had not resisted her honorific title and was so calm, she immediately understood that her knowledge was correct. This man who looked like a mortal was definitely an official wizard.
Based on Froude's social network and the importance he attached to this wizard, Neia had even vaguely guessed the other party's identity.
However, if this person was really the one she thought of, since he concealed his appearance, there must be some reason. Neia did not dare to ask directly, so she simply regarded him as an official wizard passing by.
At this time, a burst of cold mountain mist with a huge and chaotic aura blew from a distance, causing the candlelight in the wooden house to sway and the shadows of the trees in the forest to flicker. It also sent chills to Neia's body and sent chills into her bones.
Neia glanced at the red-haired wizard and saw that the other party didn't mean to blame her, so she couldn't help but ask: "The atmosphere in the castle over there is strong, and there should be undead. Sir, is there anything we can help you with?"
Angel naturally understood what Nea wanted to ask, and shook his head lightly: "No, you can ask Frod for the specific situation."
Neia nodded, walked to Froude, exchanged a look with him, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say in your letter that you would be practicing soul tricks in seclusion recently? Why are you here?"
Froude smiled and said, "I came here to practice."
Neia glanced at the ghostly castle in the distance and seemed to understand something: "You plan to use the undead to quickly perform soul tricks? Don't you know that the soul power of the undead is full of chaos and negative emotions? If you do this, it will be extremely dangerous.
Possibly corrupted."
Froude: "I know, but the undead in the castle are worth what I do."
Neia had doubts on her face.
Froude: "There is a special undead in there."
In Neya's astonished expression, Froud slowly told the whole story. He did not hide the existence of little Sam, even though he knew that Neya, as a member of the Silver Heron royal family, was related to little Sam's relatives.
hatred.
After hearing this, Neia didn't care about little Sam's identity. Instead, she was surprised by another thing.
The special undead in Star Lake Castle is actually a child's assessment?!
Since it was an assessment, Neia naturally thought it was an entrance examination.
A child's entrance examination actually requires him to face a terrifying special undead. What's even more outrageous is that he is also required to kill the special undead!
Is the entry test in the Savage Cave so brutal?!
This was not only Neia's thought, but also the thought in the mind of the silent old apprentice.
Even if the child has a way to restrain the special undead, it is still very, very difficult for a mortal who has never touched the soul before to directly bypass the ordinary undead and kill a special undead.
Just like a baby dancing with a knife, can it kill an adult? Little Sam is now a baby holding a knife.
Neya knew that the Master of Illusion had once asked the talented people to engage in a very cruel nine-chamber bloody battle. Unexpectedly, there were now more shocking assessment items, and the examiner was most likely to be the disciple of Master of Illusion... Talent and Talent
An unparalleled super-dimensional wizard!
Before, Neia thought Angel was easier to talk to, but now she looked at Angel with a little awe.
The appearance of the academic school is just whitewash, but the inside must be the same as that of the master of illusion. When you break it open, it is all black.
This is definitely a ruthless person.
Neia lowered her eyebrows and her eyes did not dare to be as unscrupulous as in the past.
After being shocked, Neia finally understood the whole process.
She didn't understand the significance of this kind of assessment, but since this assessment was still under Angel's watch, it probably wouldn't cause any bigger trouble.
Neia thought for a while and said: "Since there are adults here watching, I think everything will be fine, so I will leave first."
After saying that, Neia glanced at Flood next to her, thanked him with her lips, and expressed her expectations for his practice... The special undead are indeed of great benefit to the practice of soul tricks, but Flo
The possibility of De's depravity is also greater, and she does not want to see Froud become undead.
Frod understood what Nea meant, and he smiled: "Don't worry, I won't have any problems."
Neia didn't know where Froude had the confidence. She thought it was Angel who was there. Neia said no more and prepared to leave with her old apprentice.
"Wait." When Neya was about to leave, Angel stopped her.
Neia looked back, only to see that a piece of black magic copper ore had appeared in front of Angel at some point. This piece of magic copper ore kept burning and deforming in Angel's hands, removing the waste and purifying it, and in the blink of an eye,
The room turned into a dark brass clock two people tall.
At the moment when the bronze bell was formed, Neia noticed that a ball of light full of holy aura appeared on Angel's magic hand.
Before Neia could judge the nature of the light group, Angel shot the light group into the bell.
The bronze bell seems to be enchanted, its brilliance is restrained, and it feels extraordinary at first glance.
After doing all this, Angel threw the bronze bell to Neia: "Take this and place it at the highest point of Saint Syme City."
When Neia was still confused, Angel continued: "After ringing it, it will spread a special sound wave to the surroundings, which can make those who are aroused by the breath of the undead return to normal."
After hearing Angel's words, Neia's expression was filled with surprise: "Is this...a soul-purifying alchemy tool?"
Angel nodded: "That's right, but the effect is not big, but the scope is quite wide, which is enough to cope with the current scene."
The reason why Angel refined the copper bell and gave it to Neia was because the matter at Star Lake Castle was initiated by them. Even if some mortals have evil intentions, as long as they don't do bad things, they are indeed considered innocent. Now in
Under the urging of the black cloud, evil thoughts burst out, and it was not his fault.
If he can solve this kind of future trouble, he will try his best to solve it.
On the other side, Neia looked at Angel with disbelief after getting the definite answer. Purification alchemy tools can be bought at any wizard market, but with such a simple effort, it took less than five minutes.
Refining an alchemy item, even the lowest level, is simply terrifying!
Neia believed that if she told the alchemist at Hurricane Tower about this, she would probably get a ridiculous scolding. But the current facts told her that it was true.
She saw with her own eyes the process of Angel refining the finished product from the original embryo.
Although the effect of the bronze bell has not been tested, since it was produced by Angel, there will definitely be no abnormalities... After all, according to the information she received, he is a member of the R&D Institute.
Neia tremblingly accepted the bronze bell, not daring to ask out the doubts in her heart, but solemnly and respectfully thanked Angel.
Neia resigned in a daze, and returned to Saint Syme City with her old apprentice, taking the bronze bell with her.
Not long after returning to St. Symme City, the Royal Knights sent news from various towns. The situation was getting worse and worse. People's minds were unpredictable. As long as there was a little bit of evil desire, it might be seduced and amplified. Moreover, the more...
The more repressive it is, the more rebellious it is.
The Knights were sent there, but the results were not ideal.
Except for the Knights, everyone else may change from normal people to criminals at some point. They cannot completely defend themselves and can only pray to heaven.
There were even small-scale conflicts in the city of Saint Syme. A group of thugs gathered at the art sculptures in Yinlu Square. They were armed with paints and hammers and wanted to destroy these precious treasures left by the previous masters.
Once a conflict occurs, word-of-mouth communication will also arouse evil thoughts in some people's hearts, leading to the emergence of more criminals.
Neia knew that she could not wait any longer.
Facing the gazes of the royal wizard group and the royal knights, Neia took out the copper bell that Angel had refined before and gave it to the guard knight: "Take it to the top of the wizard tower and replace the previous bell... Then, ring the bell.
it."
Neia kept looking at the bronze bell until it was brought to the wizard's tower, and then she looked away.
"Is this bronze bell really useful?" the old apprentice asked in a low voice.
Neia: "With that person's status...he won't lie."
The old apprentice knew that the "one" that Niya was talking about was the young man with red hair and golden eyes. When he wanted to ask who the other person was, Niya did not answer, but raised her hand to the sky.
As her hand slowly fell, the guard knight at the top of the wizard's tower received the signal, picked up the bell hammer, and rang the newly arrived bronze bell.
As the buzzing sound of "dong dong dong" appeared, all the extraordinary people present could clearly feel that in their spiritual vision, a ripple of holy light spread from the top of the wizard tower and quickly spread to the entire Saint Syme City, and
Continue to radiate outside the city.
Wherever the ripples of holy light went, most people didn't feel anything, they just felt that the pressure in their hearts was slightly relieved.
However, under the ripples of holy light, the eyes of those who were carried away by evil thoughts showed obvious changes. Those crazy thoughts were like dust, as if they were gently brushed away by a pair of soft hands.
The violence disappeared in an instant.
Instead, I felt the guilt and self-blame when I woke up and saw the mess in front of me.
Although the members of the Royal Wizarding Group can see the ripples of holy light, they do not know its function. They can only look at Neia, hoping to get the answer from her mouth.
Neia did not answer, but waited silently.
Fifteen minutes later, she received the first news: all the thugs who were in Yinlu Square had been captured.
As time goes by, more news comes one after another, all of which are good news that the chaos has stopped!
Half an hour later, news of the turmoil subsided came from nearby towns.
Until then, the wizards and knights, including Neia, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked back at the bronze bell on the top of the Wizard Tower with complicated eyes. After a long while, she whispered softly: This... is the strength of the R&D Institute.
Although the effect of this copper bell is not that heaven-defying, in such a short time, an alchemical prop that radiates hundreds of miles can be refined.
It is estimated that Angel is the first person.
After marveling, Neia was a little lucky. After learning that Froud was not dead and had surrendered to Angel, she did not report it to the Hurricane Tower. Instead, she maintained the friendship established in the Hurricane Tower.
It is precisely because of this friendship that we are rewarded today.
If he had broken up with Froud back then, he would probably be in a different situation today.
…
On the back hill of Star Lake Castle, although Froud could not clearly see the situation in Saint Syme City, he could sense the changes in the place where the ripples of holy light passed after the bell rang.
The fireworks are extinguished and evil thoughts are eliminated.
When the ripples of holy light spread to the mountains, the effect was no longer that strong, but Froud still felt a sense of peace in his heart.
Froud closed his eyes and immersed himself in it for a moment, and sighed: "Your alchemy skills are getting more and more powerful."
After sighing with emotion, Froud still couldn't help but be curious and asked: "I didn't see your lord enchanting it just now. Did the bronze bell use the blending method?"
Angel was silent for a while and said softly: "It's neither blending nor enchanting. It's just refining the shape of a copper bell."
The bronze bell is just a mortal object. The reason why it can exert the effect of purifying the soul is actually the function of the holy aura of light that is melted into the bronze bell.
He used the "extraordinary extractor" that Crowley left in the hidden room to extract the calming effect from the requiem stone and melted it into the copper bell to refine it.
This cannot be said to be that his alchemy skills are getting stronger and stronger, it can only be said that his alchemy equipment is getting more and more advanced...
Angel can also refine a bronze bell with similar effects through enchantment, and it may even be more powerful, but it will definitely take a lot of time. Since it can be solved with the extraordinary extractor, there is no need to waste time and energy.
