Angel did not continue to input magic power into the crystal ball, but walked to the head of "Saka". Bearing the foul smell of blood, he opened the tattered hood.
As he expected, the person he killed was not Saka. It was a stranger he didn't know at all.
Angel checked the other corpses and found nothing useful. However, he found some odds and ends and a few money bags on the bodies of the three Nalu.
The money bag was put away and the wreckage was set on fire.
There were apprentices in the distance who saw Angel's movements, but no one came forward to ask. Even if they had to go this way, they would go around a long way and not want to get close to this place.
Just like the central area of the Tree Spirit Garden, indifference almost penetrates into the bones of every apprentice. No one is willing to get involved as long as it doesn't cause trouble.
It wasn't until the flames burned out, the moon reached its peak, and only broken bones were left on the ground that Angel turned around and left.
Angel's mood was very complicated. He experienced too many unfortunate things this day, saw too much indifferent reality, and even killed a stranger who was obviously innocent but was used as a pawn. With mixed feelings, Angel felt
I seem to have a clearer understanding of certain principles.
When leaving Gru Town and far away from the old continent, Angel reminded himself to be wary of human nature and saw many examples of the dark side in the book. Angel believed that he was fully armed from the inside out.
But what you learn from books must be shallow. Some truths must be experienced by yourself before you can think about deeper things and understand that this is the real life.
What you hear from others and read in books are all other people’s lives. Your own life needs to be measured with your own steps. “We all understand the truth, but we still can’t live this life well.” This sentence reads
It seems reasonable, but in fact it is not. What we understand is other people's truths, the truths passed down by our elders, and the truths heard from hearsay. After all, they are not our own.
The long road, the quiet lights, and the dim night. When Angel returned home with a slightly tired heart, he saw a figure leaning in front of the courtyard gate, silently accompanied by the oil lamp on the doorpost.
The study of metal parts.
Angel smiled slightly when he saw this scene. There are indifferent people in the wizarding world, and there are also scholars who work tirelessly towards their goals. Darkness and light have always existed with each other. If there was no darkness, how would we know how much light is worth looking forward to?
"Angel!" The figure under the door was awakened by the footsteps. He raised his head and looked over, waving to him with a smile: "You came back at the right time. I just had a super genius idea! Listen to me, I
Call it the 'Mechanical Wizard's Eye'! The wizard's eye is simulated through mechanical alchemy, look here..."
David took the metal device in his hand, walked directly to Angel, and began to chatter about his ideas.
Angel smiled and nodded, expressing his opinions on David's ideas from time to time.
When the discussion was almost over, David was shocked to realize that Angel's face was pale, and there was a faint smell of sweat and blood coming from his body.
"What's wrong with you?" David used the light on the doorpost to see some blood stains on Angel's clothes.
"It's nothing like that. I just met a few people who couldn't explain why, and then I helped you get a little revenge." Angel said nonchalantly, opened the door, and welcomed David.
Come in, "I'm going to wash it off a little, it smells really bad."
David saw that Angel's words and expressions were relaxed, and the worry on his face disappeared, "Avenge me? What revenge do I have?"
In the bathroom, Angel took off his clothes and poured hot water from head to toe. "It's the one named Naru. He brought his two men, Tesla and Kunna, to cause trouble for me. I solved it easily."
"Naru the Mad Demon Blade?! The solution you mentioned was to kill them, right?" David asked in surprise.
"Almost." Angel said vaguely as he washed his greasy head.
David wailed: "I also said that after I refine the weapon, I will go and fight with him myself!"
David had no doubts that Angel could defeat Naaru. He had climbed to the top of the Sky Tower, so how could he not be able to defeat Naaru? The only thing that made him a little regretful was that he did not fight Naaru himself.
.
"I don't want to kill them either, but it's a pity that they want to kill me."
After washing, Angel returned to the state of a "fresh and handsome young man" and walked out with wet gold: "I just went to the mission hall to take over a few alchemy missions. Let's start with these missions today.
?”
Angel threw the bone card to David and showed him the mission he had taken.
"Whatever, I'll help you anyway. I've almost never refined weapons, and the materials are too expensive, so I'm reluctant to use them," David said.
"You can use them as you like today." Angel pointed to several of the alchemy tasks, which are all for refining weapons such as swords. There are no restrictions on the materials: "You can refine these embryos, and I will enchant them in the end.
, it will be faster this way. It doesn’t matter if something goes wrong with the embryo, the materials are not expensive anyway.”
Hearing Angel's heroic demeanor, David's eyes lit up. His alchemy theory was already very profound, but unfortunately he had no money and little practical experience. This time Angel asked him to practice it, and it was amazing.
It was a timely help! Even if he didn't learn anything from Angel's alchemical thinking this time, just gaining more experience in alchemy was a big gain!
The next time, the two came to the underground laboratory, each occupied an experimental platform, and began to survive.
In the process of alchemy, Angel paid attention to David at first, but he saw that he was treating his work carefully and rigorously. Even if he made a mistake, it was only a small mistake and the material loss was very small. On the other hand, because he was too
No matter what, if something goes wrong during the refining process, it is almost an absolute mistake, and the whole thing has to be overturned, which makes Angel very embarrassed.
Angel was inspired by David's rigorous attitude. The two tasks in his hand originally took two nights to complete. But because of his high concentration and the presence of someone comparing them, he was able to complete them in one night.
Wait until the night fades and white light appears on the horizon.
The two alchemy weapons in Angel's hands, a broad blade and a cylindrical thin sword, have been successfully refined by him. The magic patterns are shining with a little light. Together with the edge of the sword, they look cold and killing.
Except for the lack of artistry, these two weapons are better than the sickles sold yesterday.
At the same time, after many failures, David finally refined the embryo of a fluctuating scimitar under the guidance of Angel. Under the control of the thermal melting method, the embryo had begun to shine with the edge of the weapon.
.
"I succeeded! Angel, I succeeded!" David's face showed uncontrollable excitement. Even though he had not officially advanced to become an alchemy apprentice, he was able to refine an alchemical weapon, even if he didn't.
Entering the advanced level is enough to solve his problem of being short of money! You know, the Tang Dao refined by Angel did not have any enchantments and sold 20 magic crystals, but the materials were at most 1 or 2 magic crystals!
The net profit was 18 magic crystals, which was almost close to his monthly salary!
"Don't be excited. You continue to control the melting method. Don't stop. I will enchant you." Angel asked David to suppress his excitement. The melting method is most afraid of magic power fluctuations. David does not have a universal axis, so it is easy to input magic power.
stagnation occurs.
David nodded fiercely, held the weapon embryo in his magic hand, and placed it in front of Angel.
Angel also began to carve magic patterns. The magic patterns that needed to be carved on this wave scimitar were frost magic patterns. Angel had long been proficient in these basic magic patterns and could directly carve them without holographic projection.
After a while, an advanced weapon was born under the witness of David.
David's excitement was not shown for now. Angel made three alchemical weapons in one night, which was far beyond his imagination. At this rate, wouldn't the seven tasks he accepted be completed in two or three days?
That's a list close to 3,000 magic crystals!
Angel was still thinking happily when waves of snoring came from beside him. After a night of hard work, David couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep lying on the workbench. But even though he was so tired, his face showed
Still smiling.
Angel himself didn't rest all night. He ate a little and was about to go to rest when he saw David dragging his tired body out of the basement: "I have to go back to the store first."
Angel: "Are you just going to rest here? I have some dry food here, do you want to eat it?"
David waved his hand: "No need. Even if I want to rest, I have to go to the store. Otherwise, there are important orders and it will be bad if I am not there."
"Also, thank you very much last night. I learned a lot." David bowed to Angel very solemnly and thanked him.
Angel waved his hand and smiled: "We help each other. The rewards for the tasks I take are quite high. For the tasks you do, I will give you half according to the credit."
David wanted to refuse, but Angel blocked his words: "As you saw just now, for me, enchanting is much easier than refining vessel embryos, so I feel a little guilty for sharing half with you.
"
David was too exhausted at this time and his mind was too confused to think straight. Angel was able to talk him through it with a few words. When he came to his senses, he had been pushed out of the door.
David could only keep his gratitude in his heart, silently thanked him, and walked towards the underground market.
Angel went straight back to the bedroom and took a long nap.
When I woke up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Toby's concert started again in the attic.
Angel hid in the quiet room for routine meditation. After meditation, he remembered the crystal ball contact device he got from Saka yesterday.
Angel still remembered that when he met Saka yesterday, he said he wanted to convey some news to him.
Angel input magic power into the crystal ball, and a text appeared.
"My precious star, please greet me personally."
Angel just sneered at the term "Treasure Star". He continued to read, and another row of text appeared:
"I estimate that when you read this letter, you should have killed the body that possessed me, right? It's such a pity. This body is the one I chose among thousands of people to be the most suitable container for my soul. But it can die.
It is an honor to have it in your hands."
"Actually, I really want to deliver news to you. The news is...Hook Dick has returned from the Soul Land. I know you have a grudge against him. Isn't this good news?"
When Angel saw this, he thought: I actually have a grudge against you.
"There is one more thing I want to tell you. The mentor gave the succubus blood to Hook Dick, and the blood fusion process was very successful. I am attaching a picture of what Hook Dick looks like now. I hope you like it."
Angel continued to scroll down, and a pink image appeared in the crystal ball.
When Angel saw the person in the image clearly, his eyes widened instantly. After rubbing his eyes, Angel looked carefully at the person in the image again. Is this... really Hook Dick?!
