Above the gray fog

Lin Shan felt the brush and fingertips sliding on his skin. Each contact brought a warm energy, like a gentle wave, gently invading his skin.

The power began to penetrate from the outer layer, gradually penetrating into his flesh and blood, sowing a seed in his body, slowly taking root and sprouting.

Every time the potion touched his skin, Lin Shan could feel a subtle change, as if his soul was being reshaped.

Half an hour passed quickly, and when the last touch of the mysterious potion was gently applied to his skin, all the changes were finally completed.

Lin Shan slowly opened his eyes and stared at himself in the mirror.

The mirror reflected a middle-aged man. Although the wrinkles on his face were not deep, they were particularly conspicuous. His cheeks drooped slightly, his nose was slightly dull, and his eyes were shadowed by the vicissitudes and fatigue of the years.

His hairline had also receded a little, and his hair was a little sparse. The gray-white hair was intertwined with the original dark black, as if the years had left traces on the top of his head.

His appearance was still ordinary.

But this was not just a simple change in appearance.

Lin Shan could feel that his soul had also turned into a middle-aged uncle, and at some moments, he almost doubted whether the person in the mirror was himself.

The change from the outside to the inside was so thorough that it concealed the causal relationship between the present and the previous him to a certain extent.

In just half an hour, it was already comparable to his previous thousands of years of layout.

Lin Shan wanted to learn this technique, but after thinking deeply for a second, he gave up the idea.

"Not bad, Sister Xiang, the technology has improved. Now even the cause and effect can be subtly concealed." The dead slave looked at the image of the girl in the ban and praised it.

"In order to take care of old customers, this time I gave some newly developed powders as a gift. It seems that the effect is not bad, but it can only last for 27 days, and it will automatically recover at that time. In addition, it can only deceive the indescribable at most." The succubus called Sister Xiang smiled seductively, and her fingertips kept wandering around Lin Shan's shoulders and neck.

"Hahaha, this won't work. We still have important things to do. If you like him, I'll send him next time!" The dead slave smiled and threw out a cloth bag, grabbed Lin Shan and walked out.

"Really? Sister dead slave, I'll wait for you!" Sister Xiang waved gently behind her, "Handsome guy, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Outside the Tower of Scholars, the dead slave breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lin Shan, and said earnestly, "She is a man who eats people without spitting out bones, you have to be careful."

"?" Lin Shan was very confused about what she was talking about.

"You weren't tempted? That's a succubus with the bloodline of the Abyss Emperor." The dead slave was a little surprised.

Lin Shan shook his head slowly, he didn't feel any temptation.

The dead slave thought, "Maybe she thinks you look ordinary..."

As if realizing something, the dead slave laughed, "Let's go."

The two came to the vicinity of the Lookout Base in the Magnetic Pole State through the Heavenly Kingdom teleport.

After the two arrived, they saw that the small town below was inhabited by only tens of thousands of people, and the surrounding area was desolate, which seemed a bit abrupt.

Moreover, this small town is not too far from the Lookout Base, only about two scales away.

Lin Shan has already found several suspicious figures wandering around.

Originally, there was no Heavenly Kingdom anchor point here, but Adolf found out about this news through some unknown means, so he temporarily arranged an anchor point in advance.

Magnetic Pole State, one of the thirteen main states, Lin Shan has not been here many times, only knowing that the Utopia has a deep control over this place, and many strong people are unwilling to come.

Lin Shan waited quietly in the same place.

Although the dead slave was puzzled, he also stood beside Lin Shan and waited, without saying a word.

She felt that Lin Shan's wisdom should be above hers. Since Lin Shan was here, she was happy to save the trouble of thinking, and at most she would do more work in the fight later.

Suddenly, a creature that looked exactly like the original Lin Shan appeared next to Lin Shan.

The dead slave looked puzzled, "What is the purpose of summoning the clone?"

"He will lead the target of our mission out. You find a far place to lay out in advance, at least one hundred scales away from the Lookout Base." Lin Shan said simply.

Although the dead slave didn't quite understand the principle, he nodded slightly, "Just do as you say!"

Under the push of Lin Shan's original body, the clone arrived at the outskirts of the Lookout base at a very fast speed.

The dead slave flew in the opposite direction.

After waiting outside for three hours and confirming that the dead slave had been arranged.

The clone easily passed through the barrier outside the base.

Although they were not in the same base before, the permissions of all bases were interoperable within the Lookout.

As a candidate for the deputy tower master, the Lookout clone's status was close to that of the one under one person.

Without causing any movement along the way, the clone went directly to the top of the tower.

He spent two seconds thinking. If he led the target out so openly, the Lookout would definitely find his record of entering the tower afterwards, which could not be eliminated.

Can he lead the other party out without exposing his identity?

Lin Shan pushed open the door on the top floor. In fact, the moment he entered the barrier, three indescribable auras of the heart lake had locked him.

Behind the door was a spacious hall, with three throne-like chairs standing side by side in front of Lin Shan's sight.

In front of the door where the chairs were leaning against was a piece of transparent glass, through which one could see the endless desert.

After Lin Shan entered the room, the three thrones turned around and faced Lin Shan.

Lin Shan carefully looked at the three creatures sitting on the high-backed chairs.

The creature on the far left was covered with silver scales, like a ferocious hound, holding a spear with a cold glow in its hand, with a majestic aura.

The creature in the middle looked like a mechanical creature, its body was made of metal, and its eyes were like two deep blue light sources, staring at Lin Shan indifferently at this moment.

Sitting on the far right chair was a human, a young man, tall, with a stern face, wearing a black combat uniform, exuding a majestic aura.

"You have the identification signal of the lookout on you, are you one of us?" The mechanical creature in the middle spoke, his voice as harsh as the friction of metal.

"You've already been nominated as a deputy tower master with just Sequence 0? According to the records, you gave up the nomination for deputy tower master, left a letter saying you were going out to have a look, and then left the Lookout... Why are you here again now?" The hound-like creature on the left asked, with a bit of suspicion in his tone.

Lin Shan did not answer the hound's question. He looked directly at the target person, the only human among the three unspeakable ones.

"Master Evanstar, I'm here to see you."
