Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 104: The Iron Thorn Shield

Li Nuo slowly panned the binoculars, moved the lens away from the leader of the convoy, and scanned the convoy that was heading straight for him.

"Nearly forty four-wheeled motorcycles, each with one or two people, and everyone has a gun. That is to say, if their intentions are wrong, I need to face sixty to eighty enemies. This Among them is an Extraordinary who needs a full 10,000 energy points to fully deconstruct."

Li Nuo put down the binoculars and scanned his surroundings.

There were 15 corpses near him, 10 of which belonged to scavengers and 5 belonged to fishermen, which could barely make up a team of corpses.

Using "Death Art" combined with "Magic Shield" and "Fear Art" should be able to kill the ordinary people in that convoy.

But how can the boss in the team deal with it?

"Spellcaster Form: Avatar of Death" is still cooling down, and it will take about four days before it can be used.

Li Nuo thought about it for a while, and felt that things were a little tricky.

The safest way to deal with it is undoubtedly to get on a quad bike and run away before you get into the opponent's gun range.

At that time, if the team wants to intercept him, they will have to split up several teams to double-team from different directions.

Li Nuo couldn't beat the big boss in the team, but if he wanted to completely wipe out the opponent's team and then break through, it should be no problem.

With this in mind, Li Nuo stepped onto the motorcycle, turned the car key and started the engine.

Suddenly whistles and shouts came from the convoy.

"Chirp~~"

"Hey! Brother! We are from Iron Thorn Shield Security Company! Not scavengers!"

Li Nuo squinted his eyes and saw that someone in the opposing team had erected a flag and was waving it left and right.

The flag had a "Spike Shield" pattern on it, and the words "Steel Shield Security Company".

Li Nuo picked up the binoculars again, observed the details of this convoy, and finally confirmed the identity of the other party.

It is indeed a convoy of security companies.

Upon closer inspection, these people were dressed uniformly, with black jackets on their upper bodies and a slightly casual lower body, with everything they could wear.

On the front of the black jacket, on the left chest, there is a "spike shield" pattern, which is the logo of "Iron Thorn Shield Security Company".

In addition, there are no "skulls" or "human heads" on their motorcycles that have anything to do with blood horror.

Overall, they appear to be more respectable and civilized than scavengers.

Li Nuo called up the memory of the scavengers and searched for content related to "Iron Thorn Shield Security Company".

After reading it at the fastest speed, he turned off the engine and stopped, choosing to wait for the convoy at the same place.

Seeing that Li Nuo had stopped at the same spot and did not drive away, the team leader turned his head and waved to the team members behind him, asking them to put down their guns.

The two sides established a preliminary trust between mutual testing, and an unexpected conflict was resolved.

The convoy stopped in front of Li Nuo.

Some team members entered the camp and cleaned up the scene.

Another part of the team members held guns on guard, watching the surrounding grass and gentle slopes vigilantly.

The leader of the team has a dark brown cut-cut, stiff facial features and a straight nose.

If the clothes on his body were replaced with the military uniform of the imperial army, he would look like a standard imperial sergeant.

But now he wears baggy jeans, a padded plaid shirt and a black jacket.

He also swaggers when he walks, and his movements are very casual.

It was the first time that Li Nuo discovered that the rigidity and dogma of the imperial men were not unchangeable.

Put an Imperial man in a place like the Fission Wastes, and he'll be just as loose and casual.

After the team leader got out of the car, he went straight to Li Nuo.

He crossed his hips, looked Li Nuo up and down, and then asked in the imperial language:

"Dude, you've only come to Fission Wilderness not long ago, right?"

As the saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable.

When Li Nuo was resting in the camp, he changed into bloody local costumes, and covered his face with sunglasses and a face towel.

He rolled up all the replaced Tatis Empire military uniforms and cloaks and stuffed them into his backpack, just waiting for a chance to burn them clean with a fire.

At this time, when the leader of the team revealed his identity, Li Nuo knew that it was the color of his skin exposed in the gap of the scarf that betrayed him...

"Well, yes. I just came here a few days ago." Li Nuo said calmly.

The language he speaks is the native language of the Golden Federation.

The team leader raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise:

"You have only been here for a short time, and you can speak so fluently? ... Forget it, let's not talk about this. Every imperial person who comes here from the empire has his own difficulties. Since you are here, let everything Let's start over."

The team leader shook his hand and stopped asking about Li Nuo's background.

He stretched out his right hand and said:

"I am Conte, the armed captain of the Iron Thorn Shield Security Company, a first-rank alchemist, with sixty or seventy brothers under him. About eight years ago, I came to this place on a cargo ship.

"I know how hard it is to be unfamiliar with life. If you can trust me, go with my convoy. When you arrive in Gathering City, you can find a job to make a living, and then pay back the security fees along the way.

"Of course, if you are worried that this is a trap or a trap, I can understand, after all, I thought so at the time."

Li Nuo pondered for a moment, then stretched out his right hand to hold the opponent:

"I won't talk about my previous identity. In short, my life is very unsatisfactory. Now I just want to start a new life. You can call me Li Lei."

Conte didn't care about the vigilance in Li Nuo's words.

He raised his hand and waved it over the camp full of corpses and blood:

"Can you tell me what happened here? Li Lei. This fisherman's camp is under the protection of the Ironthorn Shield security company. Although I am not the person in charge of the camp's security affairs, I am not targeting the killed fishermen. I came, but as an armed captain employed by the Iron Thorn Shield, I think it would be more reassuring to ask someone to ask about the situation when passing by here. Can you give me the answer?"

"Of course, there's nothing I can't say. As you can see, the fishermen here are all dead. The ones who killed them were the scavengers. I happened to be short of food, drink, and means of transportation, so I took these scavengers All were killed."

Li Nuo's tone remained calm, as if killing a few gangsters was as simple as crushing a few ants.

Conte looked at the wheel and dagger at Li Nuo's waist, rubbed his chin and recalled:

"Well... just now we rushed here as soon as we heard the gunshots, and we only saw you alive from the beginning to the end. You are indeed the only one who can kill the scavengers at the scene."

Conte raised his hand to hold his short-cut head, scratched the top of his head twice, glanced at the scavengers who were hit on the forehead, and sighed:

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... You killed six scavengers with a revolver. There was also a man whose throat was slit. You must have done this too? I didn't expect that... I left the empire After all these years, the young people in the empire are already so powerful."

Conte clapped his hands and took out a business card from his pocket:

"Here, take it. This is my business card. If you want to find a job to make a living, you can consider our Iron Thorn Shield Security Company."

Li Nuo took the business card, glanced at the words on the paper and asked:

"Are you short of manpower? You even dare to ask me, a man from the empire who smuggled here."

Conte crossed his hips and shrugged his shoulders:

"You just came here, so you may not know the situation. This place is much more dangerous than in the empire. The most abundant thing in the fission wilderness is people, and the most lacking thing is also people. There are gun battles and battles everywhere. Security guards like me Captain, the biggest headache is not fighting, but recruiting. Not to mention stowaways like you, even wanted criminals and criminal soldiers in the empire, the company dares to take them. Anyway, they are all paid for their lives, and the company pays for them. Money, we just have to work hard, don't worry about so much."

Li Nuo glanced at the corpses of the scavenger and the fisherman, "Yes, I have already felt the 'enthusiasm' of the fission wilderness. The flow of people here is really not normal... But, I'm sorry, Kante , I haven’t even got the ID card, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to enter the city.”

Li Nuo said this in order not to reveal that he could easily change his appearance and body shape, not that he really couldn't enter the city.

"Oh, this, a small problem. Iron Thorn Shield's business is quite broad."

Conte spread his hands:

"If you intend to join, it's not a problem to get you a clean identity card. You can ask any of my guys at will. This is the most basic treatment for Iron Thorn Shield."

"Are you sure?" Li Nuo was slightly surprised.

"Of course. But you also need to know that there is a price. You need at least 100,000 aggregate coins to get a clean identity card. If you accept this card, you must pay back the 100,000 before you can leave. As for After paying back, it is up to you to decide whether you intend to stay in Iron Thorn Shield or go to other companies or gangs to develop..."

Li Nuo's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly found that the Iron Thorn Shield security company was a little capable.

In the memory of the scavengers, 100,000 aggregate coins can only be bought on the black market with an identity card with a penalty record.

This kind of card is called a bad card.

People with inferior cards can only move within a small area specified, and will be restricted in consumption and accommodation.

There is no such problem with a clean identity card, and you can travel unimpeded in the lower city of the aggregation city.

On the black market, clean ID cards have a price but no market, and almost no one sells them.

It seems that only a security company like Iron Thorn Shield has a stable channel to obtain a clean ID card.

Li Nuo originally planned to go to the black market to "prostitute" a better inferior card.

But since there is an opportunity to get a clean identity card, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

Li Nuo thought for a while and asked:

"Aren't you afraid that I will sneak away with a clean ID card, Conte? How can you be sure that I can pay back the one hundred thousand?"

"Good question. To tell you the truth, we have encountered the situation you mentioned before. There are a bunch of guys who don't have eyesight and sneaked away with our ID cards. Although they were all caught in the end, they still caused a lot of trouble. No small trouble. For this reason, we Iron Thorn Shield will use the employment contract protected by the Alchemy Temple to protect our rights and interests. When you arrive at the company, you will be able to see the contract."

Conte snapped his fingers:

"As for how I can make sure that you can pay back the 100,000, I have a suggestion. We are just now performing a security mission, so you can use it as your probationary period. As long as you cooperate with If I complete this mission, I will count you as passing my inspection.

"You must be wondering in your heart, if I let you be a stranger to participate in the mission, will it have a negative impact on the mission? For example, you have attracted enemies, or you are simply a spy for a rival gang. If you have this doubt, it can only mean that you Overthinking. I don't think a guy who can stand up and shoot scavengers is a gang lackey."

Li Nuo put away the business card, nodded slightly:

"Okay, Conte, I have no objection, let's start with this security mission... If the Iron Thorn Shield can really provide me with a flawless identity card, then I think that working for the Iron Thorn Shield is enough Wan, it’s also good.”

"Okay, that's it." Conte grinned:

"After the task is completed this time, the reward you should give will still be given, but you also know that the amount of reward during the trial period will definitely be relatively small. The exact amount will not be confirmed until the mission is over... Do you have any questions? ?"

"No, it's gone." Li Nuo shook his head and had no objection to Conte's arrangement.

"That's good." Conte turned his head and urged the team members on the scene to speed up:

"Guys, come on, we can't stay here for too long."

"Okay, head."

"Yes, head."

Conte's men responded to the captain's call one after another, and the camp was in full swing.

Li Nuo looked at this scene with a clear division of labor, and his impression of the Iron Thorn Shield was a little higher.

Li Nuo prefers security companies like Iron Thorn Shield to gang members who bully the weak and kill innocent people indiscriminately.

It might be a good choice to stay in the Iron Thorn Shield Security Company before fully familiarizing yourself with the Fission Wilderness.

When my cognition and strength are enough to support me to fly solo, then it's not too late to consider leaving.

Anyway, today is different, he has many spells in hand, as long as he wants to leave, there will be a way.

Li Nuo nodded secretly, it should be right to choose to temporarily join the Iron Thorn Shield.

…

After about five minutes, all the corpses and supplies in the camp were sorted out.

Before leaving, Conte wrote a note and relayed what happened to the Iron Thorn Shield security team patrolling the area.

After that, he waved his hand and called the team members to get on the car, leaving all the scavengers' motorcycles and supplies to the patrolling security team.

Li Nuo's motorcycle is the one he snatched from the scavengers.

After a little practice, he started driving decently, followed the slender convoy, and headed northwest.

The wheels ran over the grass, leaving two ruts in the green ground.

While controlling the leader, Li Nuo looked towards the front of the convoy, and his eyes fell on Conte's back.

There was an odd look in his dark-glassed eyes.

very strange.

very strange.

This Conte looks like an ordinary person, without three heads and six arms, and no glowing eyes or hair. But why does he consume so much energy to deconstruct him?

With 10,000 energy points, the consumption is ten times that of the Second Lieutenant of the Deconstructed Empire.

Could it be that Conte is a powerful Extraordinary disguised as an ordinary person?

Or, deconstructing the alchemist consumes more energy than deconstructing the "Imperial Fist"? Just like deconstructing the wizard.

Li Nuo has only encountered this one alchemist so far, and he is not sure where the crux of the problem is. He can only temporarily attribute the reason to the fact that alchemists also need to master a lot of theoretical knowledge.

…

[System message: You have driven a "simple quad bike" for three hours in a row, and unlocked a new passive skill "Vehicle Control", the current level is level 1. 】

Li Nuo glanced at the news in his head, rubbed his numb legs and got off the motorcycle, heaving a long sigh of relief.

Hurrying along the way, Conte's convoy finally arrived at the mission location.

Li Nuo's buttocks and thighs finally attracted a chance to rest.

Here is a valley full of forests, with gorgeous wild flowers and lively animals in the forest.

There is also a clear stream flowing from the depths of the valley and converging into a small lake near the convoy.

If this place is circled and a toll booth is set up, it will be enough to earn entrance fees as a tourist scenic spot.

Of course, this is what Li Nuo did in the world before he traveled.

Here in the Golden Federation, places with beautiful scenery like this are basically occupied by various extraordinary forces.

Li Nuo and the accompanying team members inquired.

The valley in front of me is called Jishui Valley.

The entire Drawing Water Valley is the property of the Gold Chamber.

All the mountain spring water produced in the valley was also taken over by the Gold Chamber of Commerce.

The task of Conte's team here is to escort high-quality mountain spring water to Fusion City.

Don't think that "high-quality mountain spring water" is cheap.

If this mountain spring water was cheap, the Gold Chamber of Commerce would not have hired a security team of sixty or seventy people to escort it.

In fact, the mountain spring water produced here is an important raw material for the alchemy workshop in the city to make high-grade alchemy potions.

Referring to the memory before and after the crossing, Li Nuo thought that there would be several cars filled with buckets driving out of the valley.

But he soon discovered that he had made a preconceived mistake.

Walking out of the valley was an alchemist.

He was wearing khaki overalls and a work jacket, glasses with thick lenses on the bridge of his nose, and the black hair on the top of his head was unkempt, with a look of slovenliness.

The feedback from the deconstruction technique showed that, like Conte, this person needed to consume 10,000 energy points to fully deconstruct.

There is indeed a clear difference between the Extraordinary and the Extraordinary.

The first-order "Fist of the Empire" can be completely deconstructed with only one thousand energy points.

Alchemists and wizards have improved tenfold on this basis.

This is a general phenomenon, not an exception.

Just when Li Nuo was thinking about why this phenomenon happened, the alchemist in overalls pulled out a pendant from under his collar.

A bright but gentle white light flowed from the oval stone on the pendant, attracting Li Nuo's attention.

All teammates, including Li Nuo, all focused on that eye-catching stone.

This should be the alchemy stone... Li Nuo stared at the stone emitting white light, and threw the deconstruction technique.

[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "alchemy stone with unknown effect". 】

[It is estimated that 9000 energy points will be consumed to make the deconstruction completeness reach 100%. 】

The alchemist's alchemy stone was made by himself, and only the alchemist himself can use it.

In the common sense of alchemy, the alchemist and the alchemist's stone are inseparable.

Deconstructing the Alchemist Stone requires 9,000 energy points...

Deconstructing an alchemist requires 10,000 energy points...

So, if you only deconstruct the alchemist himself, you only need a thousand points of energy, right?

Li Nuo squinted his eyes, locked on the alchemist in overalls, and threw the deconstruction technique on him alone.

[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "Extraordinary with unknown name". 】

[It is estimated that 10,000 energy points will be consumed to complete the deconstruction to 100%. 】

Li Nuo frowned slightly, changed the angle, and threw the deconstruction technique at the man in overalls.

But no matter how he tried, the prompt information fed back by the system was the same.

The answer is clear.

Li Nuo can deconstruct the alchemist stone alone, but cannot deconstruct the alchemist alone.

It's as if the alchemy stone is the body of the alchemist.

It really corresponds to the widely circulated sentence in the Golden Federation:

All the abilities of an alchemist lie in the alchemy stone.

Li Nuo was a little curious about the secret of the alchemy stone.

He called up his personal panel and glanced at his energy inventory.

…

【Energy value】21162/16 points

…

Theoretically, he invested less than half of his energy, enough to deconstruct the alchemy stone.

But when he thought that this knowledge could be found in the city of aggregation, or obtained by attacking the alchemy stone, he felt a little worthless.

Only when the cost of mastering alchemy through fighting and learning is higher than using energy to deconstruct the alchemy stone, Li Nuo will consider using deconstruction to understand the secret of the alchemy stone.

Otherwise, it will become a losing business.

Li Nuo thought about it for a while, and decided to suppress his curiosity for the time being, and arrive at Jucheng City first.

He looked up at Conte and the man in the overalls, just in time to see the man in the overalls grabbing a hazy cluster of light from the glowing oval stone.

The man in overalls puts the ball of light in his palm with his palm facing upwards.

The light of the light cluster shrinks inward, forming a transparent glass container.

The glass container is filled with clear mountain spring water.

The scale line on the container shows that 3,000 liters of mountain spring water is stored in such a palm-sized container.

Li Nuo carefully looked at the scale line, and made sure that he read it correctly, it was indeed "three thousand liters".

So, to a certain extent, the alchemy stone can be used as a pocket of space... Li Nuo nodded in thought.

"Kante, I've packed the spring water a long time ago...Why are you so late?" The man in overalls asked while showing the transparent container in his hand.

Conte carefully checked the liquid capacity in the container and said at the same time:

"Don't mention it, Fars. We met a gang of scavengers on the road. Those bloody maggots smashed our yard and killed five fishers. When we get back to the city, the company must go Find their gang to settle accounts."

Conte confirmed that the container contained the correct amount of liquid.

He stood up straight and looked at the glow of the sky:

"Now that we're all ready, let's go. If we move quickly, we should be able to return to Fusion City before midnight...Everyone, get in the car!"

Conte said to the young people around him:

"Mark, please make room for Fars. You go and sit with Li Lei, and introduce him to Fusion City by the way."

Fars is the alchemist responsible for filling the water.

Mark is the deputy captain of the security team. He is a native of Jucheng City. He has dark skin, a slender figure, well-proportioned muscles, and short hair with braids. He looks very energetic.

After he got Conte's order, he nodded, turned and ran away:

"Okay, captain, I just want to hear the story of the empire."

"Stinky boy, if people don't want to talk about it, don't ask too much." Conte told Mark's back.

Mark waved his hand behind him, "Got it, boss, I have a sense of proportion."

Seeing the vice-captain running towards him, Li Nuo moved his butt twice to make room for the driver's seat.

"Hello, Mark. Come and drive the motorcycle. I'm not sure how to control the direction with one person."

"No problem, leave it to me. Your federal language is really good, did you learn it by yourself before you left the empire?"

Mark sat down in the front row, skillfully ignited and started the motorcycle, and followed the convoy out of the valley.

Facing the familiar deputy captain, Li Nuo slightly shrugged his shoulders and said calmly:

"Since I'm about to leave the empire, I have to make some preparations, don't I... Having said that, Mark, what happened to the transparent container in Fars's hand just now? Did I miss it? Why can it hold it? Three thousand liters of mountain spring water?"

When Mark heard Li Nuo's question, he immediately became excited.

He raised his arm and waved it, howling with anticipation.

"This is the power of alchemy!"

The team members before and after cast a calm look at him, as if they had long been used to the vice-captain getting excited when he mentioned "alchemy"...

Mark held down the faucet of the motorcycle, stared at the ground in front of him, and told Li Nuo a lot of common sense about alchemy, and his words were full of love for alchemy.

Li Nuo originally thought that the common sense he was talking about should be similar to the knowledge in the memory of scavengers.

But as the content gradually unfolded, Li Nuo's eyes became more expectant and appreciative.

Alchemists, a group of Extraordinary beings, deserved to be Extraordinary beings based on alchemical theory and alchemical experiments.

Their understanding of "spirit" is very different from that of the Necromancers.

The Necromancers are a group of dead whose bodies rot but whose souls live forever.

They seek relief from the memory of suffering to improve the "spiritual" attribute, and cooperate with war and spiritual pivots to collect a large number of soul debris and increase the strength of the soul.

Not so with Alchemist.

they think:

If you want to improve things without substance—such as spirit and soul, you must first transform the two into entities, and then indirectly improve the spirit and soul by transforming the entities.

The "entity" mentioned here is the "alchemy stone" that every alchemist has.

The main material of the alchemy stone is the spirit and soul of the alchemist himself.

Through special soul transposition rituals, they transform the invisible and intangible spirit and soul into alchemy stones that can be held in their hands.

In the language of gamification:

The alchemy stone is the concrete product of the two attributes of "spirit" and "soul strength".

Use better alchemy materials to improve the quality of alchemy stones.

Use alchemical runes to add special effects to alchemy stones.

Transform regular alchemy stones into unique alchemy stones with more powerful alchemy formulas.

The above operations can improve the two attributes of "spirit" and "soul strength", and allow alchemists to have corresponding extraordinary abilities.

This is the secret of alchemists' ability to master extraordinary powers.

For example, Fars, who is responsible for extracting and filling mountain spring water, only after adding "pumping runes" and "water storage runes" to his alchemy stone, he has the extraordinary ability to ship a large amount of mountain spring water at one time. ability.

This extraordinary ability, which seems harmless to humans and animals, is actually aggressive.

With the "Acid Resistant Rune" and "Spray Rune", Fars can pre-store acidic liquid and spray acidic water with acidic effect on the enemy during the battle.

The higher the grade of the rune, the better the acid etching effect of the acid water, and the farther the acid water is sprayed, the more significant the attack effect of Fars will be.

This increase in strength comes from more efficient matching of alchemy runes.

It can be said that there are no rubbish alchemy runes, only alchemists who are too rubbish to match alchemy runes.

As long as you are smart enough and willing to delve into it, any alchemy rune can shine in a certain field.

And the key to all this is how to have your own alchemy stone.

Mark speaks eloquently on the topic:

"In the entire Golden Federation, only the Alchemy Temple has mastered the soul transposition ritual.

"The Alchemy Temple will distribute a certain amount of ceremony places to each city every year, so that qualified people in each city can become alchemists."

"For example, in our aggregation city, there are more than 300 places every year. More than 70% of the places are dominated by the Alchemy Academy in the upper city, and are generally used for alchemy apprentices who have passed the entrance examination. In the hands of extraordinary forces.

"If you have saved enough one million aggregate coins and passed the self-study alchemy exam of the Alchemy Academy, then you can buy a ceremony quota from the Iron Thorn Shield. The gold master behind our Iron Thorn Shield is the Gold Chamber of Commerce, and every year at least Up to 20 places.

"A large group of people rushed to the top, wanting to see if they have the ability to ascend to the sky in one step and become an alchemist, but every year, only one or two people can pass the exam and get a place in the hands of the Gold Chamber of Commerce."

Li Nuo repeated the numbers:

"One million...You just said that one million aggregate coins are needed to purchase the ceremony quota? Doesn't it mean that you have to work in a security company for a long time to get the money together?"

"No, no, Li Lei." Mark shook his head again and again:

"The bulk of our income is not the basic salary, but the mission reward. Just like this mission. If we send Fars and the three thousand liters of mountain spring water to the alchemy workshop safely, then each of us will be able to share 8,000 to 10,000 aggregate coins. If you encounter a robber on the road, the spoils of defeating the robber can also be exchanged for a lot of money. A conservative estimate, this mission is worth half a month's salary."

"Oh, that's pretty good." Li Nuo nodded.

"However, although many people can earn one million aggregate coins, most of them can't keep the money, or they don't want to become an alchemist at all." Mark shook his head and sighed.

"Why is that?" Li Nuo acted as a fan in a timely manner.

"They know that they can't pass the self-study alchemy exam, so they will spend the money on drinking and drinking, or buy a house, find a woman, and when they make enough money in the security company, they will transfer to a safer company. Go to an ordinary day."

Mark sighed and shook his head:

"I don't think I can pass the self-study alchemy exam, but I still plan to give it a try. If I fail the first time, I will take the exam again. If I fail twice, then I can only admit it and take it with peace of mind." Save the money to buy a house, and find an honest and beautiful woman."

Having said that, Mark swallowed...

It seems that at his age, women are indeed quite attractive...

Li Nuo is not very interested in women, on the contrary, he really wants to know about the so-called "alchemy test".

He couldn't help asking:

"What is so difficult about this self-study alchemy exam?"

"It is said to be an alchemy exam for self-learners, but the difficulty is exactly the same as that of the entrance exam. The amount of questions is large, the questions are difficult, and there are so many knowledge points. There are also many guess questions and text experiment questions without standard answers."

When Mark thought of the book knowledge, his face suddenly became long:

"The alchemy books that require full memorization are as high as half a person. I have only read the most superficial ones up to now... I really don't know how the captain passed the exam in the first place."

"Well, it seems that passing the self-study alchemy test is not something that happens overnight."

That's what he said, but Li Nuo's eyes flickered.

Once upon a time, he judged that deconstructing the core system was not suitable for combat, and was more inclined to theoretical research.

He also regretted why he didn't have such a system before he traveled, otherwise he would definitely win the national exam champion.

Now, here is the chance to prove that he is a top student.

The alchemy exam, which focused on examining the accumulation of knowledge, was tailor-made for him.

"Mark, is it convenient for you to lend me the books on alchemy? I want to see if I have talent in this area. If you need to pay, it's okay."

Mark shook his head and said:

"You don't need money, Li Lei. When you arrive in Juju City, I'll just take you to a hotel. Then you can come to my place and borrow any book you want. I recommend you to read from "Golden Books" "A Brief History of Alchemy in the Commonwealth" at first glance, the contents of this book are quite interesting... Actually, there is another way to become an alchemist."

"What?" Li Nuo blinked.

"That is to explore the ruins of the Golden Dynasty. If you can find precious alchemy blueprints, sage manuscripts, sage particles and other things, then the Alchemy Temple will directly reward you with a set of alchemy weapons to help you become an alchemist.

"Look at our captain, he is obviously not a student. He just got lucky and accidentally discovered the manuscript of an ancient alchemist, so he became an alchemist... Eh? Wait, wait! "

Mark was bragging, and suddenly stopped talking, picked up the binoculars, and looked at the distant horizon.

The setting sun is about to disappear under the earth, the setting sun in the sky is like blood, and people and things in the distance are presented in the form of black silhouettes.

Li Nuo followed Mark's line of sight, squinted his eyes, and threw the deconstruction technique towards the black far point wriggling on the horizon.

[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "Extraordinary with unknown name"...]

[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "heavily armed scavengers"...]

There are enemies coming this way... Li Nuo immediately understood the situation.

The one marked by the system as "Extraordinary with unknown name" should also be an alchemist.

Mark does not have a system, and can only rely on binoculars and the naked eye to observe the situation in the distance.

Conte and Fars, although they are alchemists, they probably don't have the extraordinary ability of long-distance detection.

Like Mark, they watched through the binoculars for a few minutes, and waited until the opponent's convoy had a large enough field of vision before realizing that the visitor was not good.

"Attention! There is a convoy with unknown intentions at 11 o'clock!" Conte shouted to the players behind him:

"Everyone checks their weapons and equipment, wears helmets and bulletproof masks, loads bullets, and prepares to fight!"

Mark handed the binoculars to Li Nuo, while he controlled the motorcycle while checking the guns and ammunition.

Holding up the binoculars, Li Nuo observed for a while and asked:

"Mark, I think I saw the pattern of 'a wolfhound with a human face' on the flag. Which gang's logo is this?"

"It's the Bulldogs!" Mark paused, and then shouted forward:

"Captain, Li Lei has seen the pattern of the flag. Those guys should be the armed scavengers of the Dog Gang!"

Conte looked back at Li Nuo, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, as if he had guessed a part of Li Nuo's real identity suddenly.

Li Nuo nodded calmly. He knew what Kante was thinking, and he did it on purpose.

At the moment when the setting sun was about to completely sink into the ground, there was a low light environment around.

What kind of Imperial man could see better than anyone else in this dim light intensity?

That's right, it's an imperial sergeant who has been injected with the imperial army's strengthening potion.

To be precise, it was the "low-light vision" brought about by the injection of strengthening agents, which helped the imperial soldiers distinguish people and objects in the low-light environment.

After absorbing part of the memories of Kai'Sa and Greensaw, Li Nuo wove himself a reasonable imperial identity.

Deliberately appearing visually unique was the first step in establishing a false identity.

Conte looked away from Li Nuo and shouted loudly:

"...Everyone put up the bulletproof panels on the motorcycles, pay more attention to your surroundings, don't get entangled by the wolf dogs of the Bulldog Gang! Those sons of bitches like to bite people with hungry wolf dogs!"

Mark dialed the bullet, rotated it to reload, stretched out his hand to pull on the motorcycle chassis, and erected metal bulletproof plates on both sides of the motorcycle as a cover.

He smiled at Li Nuo, revealing two rows of teeth shining under the setting sun:

"Those people are probably scavengers from the Bulldog Gang. They treat us like a normal caravan. This battle should end soon. Because there are alchemists in our caravan, but not in their team."

The corners of Li Nuo's mouth hidden under the face towel twitched slightly.

This mark is good for everything.

Talkative, familiar, enthusiastic, straightforward.

I just like to plant flags for my own people, so I have to get rid of it as soon as possible...
