Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 106

Li Nuo didn't forget to do business while establishing his personality.

After coughing for a while, he stood up from the ground and ran to help Mark and the others pack up the spoils.

Seeing that he was recovering well, Mark entrusted him with packing the ammunition bags.

Li Nuo took this opportunity to take away all the soul fragments from the corpse.

[Soul Strength +0.2]

[Soul Strength +0.2]

【…】

Li Nuo glanced at the system messages and nodded secretly.

In terms of soul strength, the Golden Federation is exactly the same as ordinary people in the Tatis Empire.

While alive, they have exactly 1 point of soul strength, no more, no less.

The soul fragments left behind after death are also 0.2 points of soul strength.

Li Nuo found this phenomenon quite interesting.

First of all, the local people panel of the Golden Federation is very different from the imperial people.

The "toughness" attribute of imperial people is generally relatively high, and the "spirit" is very low.

In the Gold Federation, the atmosphere of alchemy among the people is very strong, and there are very few illiteracy.

The average "spiritual" attribute of the locals is relatively high, reaching 10 points, which is twice the average level of the imperial people.

It stands to reason that after the "spirit" is high, the strength of the soul should also increase, right?

But why is the soul strength of the federal people also 1 point?

Li Nuosi thought about it, but couldn't find the answer. He could only regard the strength of the soul as a unique attribute independent of the basic attribute.

It is worth mentioning that there are no soul fragments on the wolfhounds of the Bulldog Gang.

When Li Nuo returned to the motorcycle with the ammunition bag on his back, he walked around the wolfdog who fell to the ground and died suddenly, but failed to collect any soul fragments.

He had blown the wolfdog's head with a pistol before, and he had already deconstructed the wolfdog through passive deconstruction.

At this time, he called up the panel properties of the wolf dog and looked at it, and Li Nuo found the problem.

Wolfdogs, animals with certain intelligence and aggressiveness, do not have the attribute of "soul strength".

On their panel, there are only two basic attributes of "toughness" and "dexterity", plus a few passive skills.

There is no "spiritual" attribute, no "knowledge" entry, and no "memory" entry.

After excluding the relationship between the "spiritual" attribute and the strength of the soul, Li Nuo deduced a preliminary conclusion:

Only the living who have both "knowledge" and "memory" can possess soul strength.

Conversely, this sentence seems to be true, that is, the living will have "knowledge" and "memory" only when they have soul strength.

I don't know if this conclusion is correct...

"Everyone, gather and get ready to go."

Conte's voice pulled Li Nuo out of his contemplation.

Li Nuo suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, neatly arranged the ammunition bag, and fixed it on the motorcycle with a rope.

In the battle just now, the Iron Thorn Shield Security Company won the battle, 5 people were killed, more than 10 people were injured, 12 quad bikes, some guns, ammunition, cash and food were seized.

The bulldog gang was defeated, 26 people were killed, and the only Extraordinary escaped with injuries.

The number of scavenger teams was less than half of that of the Iron Thorn Shield security team.

The Extraordinary in the team is also a werewolf who is good at moving and assassinating, not an alchemist who can be tough.

It can be seen that the Bulldog Gang has made an attempt to make a big difference with a small one.

It would be great if the werewolf could take Fars away.

If it can't be taken away, at least it has tested the strength of the security team.

Maybe, there are members of the Bulldog Gang ambushing in front of them.

Based on this consideration, Conte decided not to take the route he used repeatedly in the past, and instead adopted an alternate route that was never known to outsiders.

He asked the team members to turn off the lights, slow down the speed a little, and move forward silently under the cover of night.

Mark is in charge of controlling the motorcycle, and Li Nuo sits in the rear looking after the spoils.

Far from cities, there is very little light pollution.

As soon as the team turned off the lights, the starry sky became clearer.

Li Nuo raised his chin and looked up at the sky, staring blankly at the starry sky in this world.

In his cognition, the starry sky should be full of stars.

But here, on the quiet and deep black background image, the light of most of the stars is very weak and hazy, and only a few stars are clear and bright.

And these brighter stars also look much larger than other stars.

Some stars are pale and pale, like bones. Some stars are surrounded by colorful storms. There are also stars showing a dark red color similar to bloodstains.

The oddest of all is the moon.

It was a ruptured bright object.

If the moon that traveled through the previous world was the size of an egg.

The moon in this world is as big as a basketball, and it looks very close to the ground, giving it a sense of oppression.

Its surface is silvery white, and near the equator, there is a hideous crack.

This gap spans the entire celestial body, as if the moon had been disembowelled.

Numerous rubble flowed out of the crack, forming a halo that looked like a "silver belt" around the moon.

Compared with this "disemboweled" moon, those bright stars with different colors of light appear much more normal.

Li Nuo threw the deconstruction technique at these celestial bodies.

The feedback he got from the system was more or less the same.

[System message: You are trying to deconstruct "Moon". It is estimated to consume 36 billion energy points, which can make the deconstruction result reach 100%. 】

[System message: You are trying to deconstruct "a star surrounded by a colorful storm". It is estimated to consume 9 billion energy points, which can make the deconstruction result reach 100%. 】

【…】

Li Nuo was very calm when faced with numbers in "trillion" units.

Be it the moon or the stars, their consumption of deconstruction is a fraction of that of the sun.

To completely deconstruct the relatively large sun requires more than 3000 trillion energy points.

The smaller sun is better, only about 1000 trillion.

Li Nuo is already numb...

To be honest, if the entire universe can also be deconstructed, he estimated that at least "trillions" would have to start.

Li Nuo glanced at his energy inventory, feeling poor.

In comparison, a first-order alchemist who can completely deconstruct with only 10,000 energy points is not too cheap.

Li Nuo restrained himself, patted the vice-captain's shoulder and asked:

"Mark, tell me about that werewolf? What did you call him? 'Wolf Pack Guard'? Is he a man or a wolf? "

"Oh, you ask this. This is actually the most interesting part of alchemy. "Wolf Pack Guard" is the most basic alchemy weapon in the "Wolf God" series. The members of the Bulldog Gang like the alchemy set of the "Wolf God" series the most. Most of the alchemists of the Bulldog Gang have mastered the alchemy weapon "Wolf Pack Guard". "

As soon as Li Nuo started the topic, Mark started to talk like a reservoir releasing a flood.

"Do you know what an alchemy weapon is? Ah, I don't know? It's okay, it's easy to understand. After you have an alchemy stone, you can use alchemy materials and alchemy runes to create a set of alchemy weapons for yourself. Alchemy Armaments will be stored in the alchemy stone and stay with you forever. Of course, you can also move the alchemy arms out of the alchemy stone like Fars did to make room for water and things.

"Alchemy weapons include alchemy armor and alchemy weapons. Each type of weaponry has its own fixed combination of armor and weapons. If I become an alchemist, I will definitely choose the "Prickly Viper" from the "Snake God" series. I have been coveting the silent alchemy revolver for a long time, not only does it make no sound when fired, but it can also use venom warheads..."

Mark chattered a lot, and popularized the common sense about alchemy weapons.

Alchemy Sanctuary publicly provides alchemy formulas and materials for 12 alchemy sets.

These 12 alchemy suits are related to the most common animals in the Golden Federation.

The basic model of the "Bull God" series of alchemy suits, "Iron Guard Mang Niu", is the alchemy weapon used by Conte. While it has excellent defensive performance, it also has strong melee capabilities.

The so-called "basic model" is the alchemy weapon of the first-order alchemist.

In addition to the "Bull God" series, there are also 11 alchemy suits named "Gods" such as wolves, snakes, cats, crocodiles, sparrows, and apes.

The naming method of "animal + god" has a profound historical and cultural background.

Before the emergence of the modern Golden Federation, this land was the site of the Golden Dynasty.

The Dianjin Dynasty is an ancient alchemy dynasty that worshiped alchemy extremely.

It can be seen from its name that "turning a stone into gold" is one of the eternal research topics in the field of alchemy.

The twelve extraordinary forces guarding the Dianjin Dynasty are called the Twelve Pillars of the Dynasty.

The twelve pillars represent the twelve alchemy families.

Based on alchemy, they studied the extraordinary characteristics of demonized animals in depth, and finally developed the alchemy weapon named after the demonized animals.

These 12 alchemy armed series are officially sold, with quality assurance, package production, package installation, and excellent after-sales service. Anyone who becomes an alchemist can buy it from the Alchemy Temple.

In addition to these 12 alchemy suits, the Alchemy Temple also publicly sells 8 research-type alchemy suits and 4 alchemy suits that take into account both combat and research.

However, the alchemy suits sold by the Alchemy Temple only accounted for less than one-tenth of the entire alchemy suit system.

There are many ancient alchemy suits, with the fall of the Dianjin Dynasty, they were submerged in the long river of history, buried under the land of the Golden Federation.

"There are three types of employment tasks that our security team receives most often."

Mark held up three fingers and introduced one by one:

"The first is the escort mission we are doing now. Send the designated people and things to the designated place.

"The second is to investigate ancient ruins. If rich and powerful alchemists find clues to ancient ruins, they will hire security companies like us to help them explore the path or guard the gate.

"The third employment task is to assist in hunting demonized animals. The extraordinary organs of demonized animals are needed to make alchemy weapons. The key lies in the extraordinary organs of demonized animals. This thing is indispensable, and it must be killed immediately. Take it and use it while it's hot."

Mark raised his arm and pointed in several directions:

"For example, there, there, and there. If you go in those three directions, you will enter the territory of demonized animals. Those places are more dangerous. If you really want to hunt demonized animals, you need at least two security guards. The team has to act together.”

Li Nuo nodded slowly and asked again:

"What about demonized animals? How come I never heard of this thing when I was living in the empire?"

"Ah, I haven't heard of it? It's really strange. I thought there were demonized animals everywhere. No wonder the bosses often say that demonized animals are a specialty of our Golden Federation."

Mark shook his head and said, looking familiar:

"According to the book, the origin of demonized animals can be traced back to the early days of the Dianjin Dynasty.

"It is said that long, long ago, animals on the earth did not have extraordinary abilities. But one day, the sky changed drastically, and a huge, immeasurable, and unobservable extraordinary will descended on the earth, distorting the bodies and spirits of animals.

"Since then, animals with a relatively high level of intelligence have possessed extraordinary abilities. People call them demonized animals. For example, the "throat of the howling wolf" used by the "Wolf Pack Guard" comes from the ability to manipulate Wind's enchanted Timberwolves. "

Li Nuo thought about it and said:

"It sounds like the appearance of demonized animals is the result of external forces..."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Li Nuo always feels that this incident is very similar to the Twilight Giant falling into the Gutatis Dynasty...

In Greensaw's memory, this extraordinary phenomenon is relatively common, and it has occurred in various countries around the world.

It is precisely because extraordinary phenomena are more common that the Wizards Advancement Association in Unas Ring has become the magic department with the largest number of wizards and the most complicated internal forces.

…

…

The convoy moved forward quickly in silence, and Conte did not allow the lights to be turned on until they were far away from the previous battlefield.

The alternate route he took was safe, but a bit of a detour.

After killing the Scavengers team of the Bulldog Gang, the team didn't even meet a single person until midnight.

The surrounding grass and bushes have also become sparse, and there are more gravel and sand that can be blown up by the wind.

Without green vegetation, the small animals available for hunting will drop sharply, and the rivers that can provide fresh water resources will also become scarce.

Except for those who come to this barren place for special missions, everyone else will stay away from this barren land with no village in front and no shop behind.

On a gentle slope with floating sand and dust, Conte ordered to stop.

Holding the alchemy pointer in one hand and the binoculars in the other, he looked around.

"We've reached the edge of the Stone Wastes. The bird didn't eat or drink, it was too big. If we want to stop us here, we need at least three times as many teams as us. The manpower and material cost of mobilizing so many people is already close to half of the total value of the goods. As long as those gangs are not stupid, there is no way they will appear here. "

Conte nodded calmly, raised his finger and pointed to a building in the distance:

"Go, spend the night there. Tomorrow morning."

The convoy continued on, and soon arrived at an abandoned building full of quaint atmosphere.

It has mottled walls, potholed courtyards, and a three-story castle with air leakage everywhere.

Dried vines hang on the wall outside the castle. With a pinch, these rattans, which have long lost their moisture, will turn into powder in the hand and blow away with the wind.

"Head, what is this place?" Mark got out of the car and asked Conte while directing the team members to park the car.

Conte rubbed his chin, stretched his neck and glanced at the empty castle hall:

"The company's internal map says that this place used to be a military outpost of the Dianjin Dynasty. After the establishment of Fusion City, it was successively used by several gangs and companies as the army of the wild patrol team. Later, because there was really no oil and water in this bird place, all the gangs Both the security company and the security company have abandoned the camp."

"Abandoned camp..." Mark glanced at the castle hall, his mouth deflated:

"Heh, the people in front moved quite cleanly, nothing was left... even the windows and door panels were removed..."

"Let's just make it. You divide the work between the brothers and arrange people to watch the night in turn. At dawn, we will set off and return to the city of aggregation. By the way, check the fuel of the motorcycle. If the fuel is not enough, put the scavengers on the motorcycle. The fuel and bulletproof panels on the car were removed and taken away, and the car was thrown here... I will go to the castle to search to see if there are any traps or something, not afraid of 10,000, just in case."

Conte lit up the lantern in his hand, called two team members to follow him, and then stepped into the dark castle.

Mark took over the command of the scene and shouted orders.

After all the team members were arranged, he looked at Li Nuo who was sitting on the motorcycle cleaning his pistol and said:

"Li Lei, you don't need to watch the night. Get a good rest. If there is still fighting, you will have to work hard to protect Fars."

"Okay, Mark."

Li Nuo put away the pistol, glanced at the castle hall, trying to find a suitable place to lie down, and saw a speechless scene...

This guy Fars has several sets of sleeping bags in the alchemy stone.

He had already packed himself in his sleeping bag and lay down.

At this time, when he heard that Li Nuo didn't need to keep vigil, he immediately took out another set of sleeping bags from the alchemy stone, spread them beside him, then raised his hand and patted the surface of the sleeping bag, making a "snap, slap, slap" sound.

"Come on, Li Lei, come to me. I have a spare sleeping bag here. We are just talking about the rumors of the Tatis Empire. I am very interested in your biochemical mutation technology."

Facing the warm invitation from Fars, Li Nuo frowned.

I've already covered my face, how can I kill both men and women? !

Hmmmm? !

Does covering the face not affect the effect of the "charm" attribute? !

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, resisting the urge to gesture with his middle finger.

"Thank you, Fars. I'm too tired today. If there's anything else, I'll talk about it in Gathering City."

Li Nuo nodded slightly, ignored Fars' eyes eager for knowledge, and sat down in a corner.

He got some scavengers' clothes from the car, which he rolled up into a pillow at the moment.

For the past few days, he has slept on the grass and has to keep an eye on his surroundings lest he become food for grassland animals.

Now that a vigil was in place, he could finally relax a little and get a good night's sleep.

As soon as I touched the simple pillow, tiredness hit me like a tide.

Li Nuo recalled the previous battle scene before he was overwhelmed by sleepiness.

To be honest, first-order alchemists seem a bit weak.

Neither the werewolf nor Kanter should be able to defeat the first-order "Fist of the Empire".

Li Nuo estimated that this should be the difference between civilian and military use.

The first-order "Imperial Fist" is a military product.

The werewolves from the Bulldog Gang and Conte from the security company were just folk figures, not professional soldiers of the Golden Federation.

The alchemy weapons they used were weaker than the first-order "Imperial Fist", which is understandable.

While thinking about something, Li Nuo twisted a few times on the harsh stone floor.

He found a comfortable position and fell asleep.

…

"Ka...Ka...Ka...Ka...Ka..."

The slight sound of friction woke Li Nuo up.

He opened his eyes a little, and glanced at the scene inside and outside the house.

The floor of the castle hall was full of people, snoring one after another.

In the courtyard outside the castle, the security guards at night set up a smokeless stove to boil water and chatted under the faint light of the fire.

Everything is safe and sound, no enemies appear.

The "click" sound I heard just now should be caused by something blown by the wind.

Li Nuo turned over and continued to sleep.

After a while, the faint but hard to ignore noise came again.

Li Nuo opened his eyes all of a sudden, but he didn't move his body, but settled down to find the source of the noise.

"Ka Ka Ka... Ka Ka Ka... Ka Ka..."

The sound seems to be coming from under the floor?

Li Nuo moved the pillow away and put his ears on the floor tiles.

"Crack..."

It did come from underground.

Is there a basement under the castle?

Was it the noise made by something like a mouse?

Li Nuo rubbed his eyes, and subconsciously turned on "Track the Living" to see through the ground.

His body froze suddenly, and his breathing froze.

He rubbed his eyes again, staring at the ground with wide eyes, his pupils constricted.

He was right!

There are indeed five living creatures under the floor tiles.

Judging from their walking posture on all fours, these living creatures are by no means human beings, but more like animals living underground, or demonized animals.

It may be the people in the castle hall who made these underground creatures rest.

The underground creature was following the grunting in the hall, rubbing the underside of the floor tiles with its two forelimbs, as if trying to find a way to open the floor tiles and come to the ground.

The floor of the castle hall consists of large square stone tiles.

The stone bricks are sealed with cement, leaving no gaps.

If an underground creature wants to come to the surface, it must choose a stone brick and smash it into pieces.

Li Nuo supported the ground with both hands, and turned from lying flat to half sitting on the ground.

He looked around at the sleeping security team members, and then looked down at the ground, feeling that the situation in front of him was strange and inexplicable.

It was as if I was waiting for someone, lying on top of the underground creature's lair...

Fars was also awakened by the sound from the ground.

When he turned his head and saw Li Nuo sitting on the ground, he spewed air from between his teeth, attracting Li Nuo's attention:

"Chuck. Li Lei, did you hear the sound from the ground? I heard it too."

"Is it a mouse? Or some other animal that likes to make holes?" Li Nuo asked in a low voice.

"Well, it's not very clear, but I feel a little strange. Listen carefully, the sound is very regular. It moves along the cracks in the stone bricks, as if something is looking for an exit."

Fars became more and more enthusiastic.

It can be seen that any unusual thing will arouse his great interest.

He got out of the sleeping bag and tiptoed past the sleeping security team members.

He came to squat near Li Nuo, with his ears on the ground, and his body moved slowly following the underground sounds.

"My many years of alchemy experience tell me that such regular noises must be caused by intelligent creatures. There should be a relatively spacious space under our feet, which may be the basement of an old castle, or a similar place. That kind of sound The intelligent creature with friction sound should have accidentally ran into the space below the castle during the process of digging a hole... Eh?! Wait a minute. There is more than one creature underground..."

Fars stopped, prostrated himself on the ground, and tapped the floor tiles with his knuckles.

The knocking sound was transmitted to the ground, causing a commotion.

The "cracking" friction sound became more and more obvious.

The nearby security personnel woke up from their sleep one after another, looking at Fars with his butt pouted and facing the floor with strange expressions.

Mark woke up with a yawn, rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked:

"Fals, what are you doing? You don't sleep at night, what are you doing with your butt up so high? Do you still have this habit..."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Fars raised his finger to signal the people around him to keep quiet.

As Mark babbled, the noise under the floor tiles grew louder.

It used to be just the sound of fingernails digging into the crevices of stones, but now it has become a muffled sound of hitting floor tiles.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Li Nuo frowned and looked at the ground, his eyes hidden under the sunglasses appeared dignified.

The five four-legged creatures were crazily hitting the stone bricks.

They obviously have very good jumping ability and physical fitness. They can take off vertically on the spot without running up to accelerate, and hit the lower layer of stone bricks with their backs.

"Eh? That's interesting. What kind of underground creatures are these? They are quite powerful." Fars reached out to hold the slightly shaking floor tiles:

"Look. The floor tiles have been knocked loose by them, and the cement in the gaps between the floor tiles is about to crack."

"Kang, kuang, kuang..." The sound of the impact on the ground was clear and audible.

Conte, who was on guard at night, walked in with a cigarette in his mouth, exhaled smoke and said:

"What's the matter? Guys. Stay up late at night and have a story meeting here?"

"Head, Fars said that something underground is hitting the floor tiles." Mark scratched his hair and said.

"Kante, come and listen. The things below seem to be going crazy." Fars turned his head sideways, his ears pressed to the ground, and his face was full of curiosity:

"Could it be that in the basement of the ancient castle, are there any demonized animals?"

"The basement? Where did the basement come from? I turned around several times, but I couldn't even find the stairs and the hidden door."

Conte muttered and came to Fars, and caught a glimpse of the cracks in the cracks in the floor tiles.

The cracks were hair-thin and spread quickly on the cement filling the gaps.

Conte grabbed Fars by the collar, pulled him up from the ground, and ordered again and again:

"Everyone, wake up, get out, get out, the cement in the gap between the floor tiles is cracked, and the floor may collapse. Everyone get out!"

As soon as Conte's voice fell, the crackling sound of "Kala Kala" was heard endlessly.

"Back back, get out!" Mark waved his arms to drive away his companions, and stretched out his hand to wake up the sleeping team members.

Li Nuo took a few steps, turned out the window, and then turned his head to stare at the creatures on the ground.

At the moment when those five creatures hit the floor tiles, several creatures of the same type came running far away from the ground.

They clump together, banging against the floor tiles.

As the momentum expanded, more and more weird creatures ran out from the depths of the ground and joined the queue that hit the floor tiles.

At this time, without any loud reminders from Conte and Mark, everyone realized that something was wrong.

Conte drew out the pistol at his waist and shouted:

"Brothers, brothers. I have a hunch that the things underground are very tricky. They should be demonized animals that eat meat. Maybe it's the smell of our meat that attracted them."

"Boom..."

While all the security guards were guarding the outdoors, there was a loud noise of floor tiles collapsing in the castle hall, and billows of smoke and dust sprayed out from the door openings and windows.

A dozen odd-looking gray-skinned monsters walked out of the castle with sticky, wet steps, leaving obvious water stains on the ground.

Their appearance is very similar to that of humans, with arms, legs and a head, but they walk on all fours like crocodiles lying on the ground.

Their skin is one piece, with a smooth surface, without eyes, noses and mouths, and is a bare gray from top to bottom.

"Damn! How could it be a deformity?!"

"My God! What did I see?! How can there be distortions outside the city?! Isn't this thing only appearing in the big crack in the center of the city?"

A group of security personnel yelled.

Even Conte and Mark had shock written all over their faces.

Fars, on the other hand, exclaimed in surprise as if he had discovered some breaking news:

"Wow! Wow! Wow! We actually saw aberrations outside of the Great Rift! Who remembers the last time there was an aberration lair in the wild?! Never mind, never mind, what happened to us tonight It will definitely become the headline news in "Alchemy Weekly"!"

Li Nuo stared closely at the gray-skinned humanoid deformity, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Is this thing the chief culprit that destroyed the Dianjin Dynasty?

It looked really weird.

How the Dianjin Dynasty made its fortune is unknown to scavengers.

But if you want to talk about how the Jin Dynasty fell at the beginning, then every scavenger can speak clearly.

Because the disaster that destroyed the Dianjin Dynasty has not ended yet.

Li Nuo had already found this information from the memory of the scavengers.

It was this kind of gray-skinned aberration with human appearance but no facial features that destroyed the Dianjin Dynasty.

They popped up all over the dynasty overnight.

Some people say that this is an alchemy creature secretly developed by the Dianjin Dynasty.

Some people say that the Dianjin Dynasty was too obsessed with alchemy, which caused many tragic man-made disasters. The victim casts a curse on the perpetrator, turning the participants into monsters called aberrations.

Others say that aberrations are a bane buried deep in the ground. They are older than the Golden Dynasty. When the Dianjin Dynasty explored the deep underground space, it accidentally awakened this monster, which led to the disaster that led to the dynasty's downfall.

As for the origin of the aberrations, there are all kinds of sayings, but no one knows which one is true. The Alchemy Temple did not announce the final conclusion of the research.

But there is one thing that everyone agrees on.

That's when you find an aberrant, there must be a large nest nearby!

Their ability to reproduce is as strong as cockroaches!
