Endless Debt

Chapter 157 Teda Yazhedet

Stepping on the rusty stairs, the building in the mist gradually became clearer. Like many buildings hanging on the cliff, it looked like a ferocious sarcoma, but what was different was that there were dim and dim signs floating on the surface of the building. The glimmer, this glimmer distorted other people's vision. Without Bailie's note, it would have been difficult for Boluogo to see through the illusion and find this place.

Palmer followed closely behind Bologg. He was now affected by the virtual realm and could not see the existence of the building. He could only use Bologg as a guide.

When the stairs reached the end, Boluogo felt like he was standing in front of a huge bird's nest. The outer shell was covered with iron plates, but these metals were corroded by the mist and were covered with rust, and some even showed a collapsed pattern. .

Knocking on the iron door, Boluogo became slightly nervous. He had not greeted TEDA in advance, and he did not know whether the other party would regard him as an intruder. Thinking of TEDA's full secret power during the implantation ceremony, With an open attitude, Boluogo's nerves were tense.

Footsteps sounded from behind the door. No password was needed, and there was no identity verification. The iron door was opened, and TEDA's face appeared behind the door, while he was still mumbling.

"I remember I didn't make an appointment today, right?"

He was just about to say something to complain, but after seeing the face of the visitor clearly, TEDA showed a surprised expression.

"Bologo Lazarus."

He still remembered Boluogo's name, and there was no way he could not remember it. After all, Boluogo contained the alchemy matrix of Overlord Xilin.

"Hello……"

Boluogo didn't know what to call Teda for a moment, former minister? Teacher Teda? .

Among the many people he knew, Bologo had special respect for this former minister of the Ascension Furnace Core who he had little contact with. It may have been under his guidance that he ascended the path to transcendence.

As for the other guy? From the first moment they met, Burlogo felt he would never have any respect for Bailey again.

"TEDA, just call me TEDA."

Teda glanced at Boluogo and then at Palmer behind him, his voice even more surprised.

"Palmer?"

"Do you know each other?" Teda could call out Palmer's name, which Boluogo didn't expect.

"The unlucky guy of the Klex family, he is quite famous." Teda explained.

"Huh? What."

Palmer didn't hear what the two said, as his attention was entirely on the building.

There was a low roar coming from the building, and the ether was twisting and surging in a fixed trajectory. As TEDA opened the door, a gap appeared in the closed ring inside, and the power of the closed silence began to leak out a little, constantly stinging Palmer's heart. nerve.

"Is this your alchemy workshop?" Palmer asked.

"Uh-huh?"

TEDA stared at Palmer, and Boluogo could feel some hostility in his eyes. Fortunately, this hostility did not last long, TEDA sighed.

"Forget it, you both come in."

"Oh, thank you."

Palmer didn't realize why TEDA was like this, but Boluogo clearly noticed it, with a bit of helplessness on his expression.

"Don't collapse." Boluogo prayed in a low voice.

…

"I didn't expect that the Order Bureau was actually preparing to intervene in the Great Rift."

After hearing the two people's intentions, TEDA frowned, "So now you need a safe area as a base?"

"Um."

Boluogo nodded and confirmed that he did not reveal too much information to TEDA.

He had talked to Palmer about TEDA's position before, but Boluogo was a wary person. TEDA had broken away from the Bureau of Order. No matter what kind of agreement he had with the Bureau of Order in private, he had received help from him. , Boluogodu decided to hide part of the information.

He still remembered why TEDA broke away from the Bureau of Order. His research violated ethical regulations. No matter what TEDA was studying, he undoubtedly crossed that line.

"Bailey suggested...we can stay with you for a while and use it as a base."

Boluogo said what Bailey said and observed Teda's reaction with his eyes.

"If you can promise not to tear this place down, I welcome you."

TEDA gave an unexpected answer, but Boluogo didn't know what to say at the moment. He never thought that TEDA would agree to this.

If he and Palmer were stationed here permanently, they would be like the eyeballs of the Bureau of Order, monitoring TEDA's every move, but TEDA didn't seem to mind that he was being monitored. The only thing he cared about more was that he was afraid of Palmer's " "Gift" overturned his alchemy workshop.

"Palmer, I remember you, the heir to the Clerks family." Teda spoke to Palmer again.

"Compared with being the heir, I'm probably more famous for the title of Unlucky Guy."

Palmer was surprisingly self-aware. He stood at the door and did not step inside.

"I can leave if necessary." Palmer looked at the complex equipment and pipes in the room, his eyes full of curiosity, but he restrained himself. "Since I became a debtor, those people will no longer allow me to leave." Entering the alchemy workshop."

"It's okay, you can visit here, but remember not to touch the alchemy equipment in the center of the building, which is the core center for maintaining the virtual realm."

TEDA was unexpectedly generous. After listening to his words, not only Boluogo was stunned, but Palmer was also confused. He even thought he heard wrongly.

"Are you serious?" Bologg asked. Once Palmer was unlucky, the sophisticated alchemy workshop might explode into a fireball.

"It's nothing." TEDA said with an indifferent attitude.

"Oh oh oh!"

Palmer crowed like a rooster, looked incoherent, and walked indoors.

As Palmer left, Boluogo's expression became cold and he whispered.

"Palmer is an unlucky man. In order to get rid of him, aren't you afraid that he will really blow up this place?"

"You will come here often anyway, so it's better to accept this situation as soon as possible."

Teda looked like an old fox.

"I have a condition. If you can agree, I will be happy to provide all support for your actions within the Great Rift."

Teda's words were full of temptation, and he was worthy of being a master and apprentice. Boluogo understood who Baili learned his damn words from.

"Leave us here, aren't you afraid that we will spy on you?" Boluogo said frankly.

"What's there to be afraid of?" TEDA said nonchalantly. "If the Order Bureau lets me go, it proves that I'm not a threat, right?"

Boluogo didn't speak, his green eyes stared at TEDA. It might be a temperament problem. When Boluogo stared at the other person without saying a word, the other party always felt full of pressure and coldness, as if he was facing It's a spirit monster in human skin.

The same was true for Teda. He avoided Boluogo's gaze and said.

"You are so vigilant, Bologo."

His demeanor was relaxed. In private, TEDA was not as majestic as before, and his old eyes shone with wisdom.

"What are your terms?" Bologo asked.

"Let me study you, your secret power, your alchemical matrix, and the power of Overlord Xilin... To a certain extent, you are simply a walking masterpiece."

The wisdom in his eyes was replaced by a little fanaticism, and Teda continued to speak to Boluogo.

"I've been studying this power for many years. I might be able to help you master it better."

"It sounds like I really have no reason to refuse."

After pondering for a few seconds, Boluogo accepted TEDA's proposal.

As TEDA said, at least in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Bureau of Order, they still trusted TEDA. Not only did they let him go, but they also allowed him to participate in usurping the power of the Overlord. But even so, Boluogo still couldn't fully trust him.

After the Kodenin incident, Bologo rarely believed his judgment of people at first sight. Everyone wore a mask, and all he could do was to remain absolutely vigilant.

Apart from these, the conditions offered by TEDA are indeed difficult for Boluogo to refuse. An alchemy master will serve as his backup, and this stronghold is also protected by the virtual domain, and there are more potential benefits...

"Can I ask you something?" Boluogo suddenly asked.

"What?"

"Why did you violate the ethics regulations in the first place?" Bologo asked curiously. "I want to know the reason why you left the Bureau of Order."

"It's a good idea to ask right away." Teda was silent for a second or two, with a helpless smile on his face, "Have you read "Golden Discourse"?"

"I've read it. That book is considered basic knowledge. You can understand it even if you don't understand alchemy." Boluogo said.

"Then you should know the three major schools of alchemy, the qualitative transformation of metal sublimation, the exploration and pursuit of the alchemical matrix, and the creation of new life."

When TEDA talked about these basic knowledge, his words changed.

"But research always has to break through taboos. Only by throwing away all rules and constraints can we go further."

"This sounds very much like the Order of Truth." Bologg commented coldly.

"Haha, yes, after throwing away the bottom line, all that's left is fanaticism," TEDA put away his smile and said seriously, "The school I studied is the third type."

"Create a new life..."

Boluogo whispered in a low voice, in the "Golden Discourse", the creation of life is regarded by alchemists as the study of usurping divine power, which is the most mysterious and the most crazy.

"Creating life is an absolute taboo within the Bureau of Order. The Bureau of Order has dealt with many such crises. Under the madness of the alchemists, they created deformed monsters one after another, bringing endless disasters." TEDA said .

"But you violated all of this... What did you create? Did you succeed?"

There was also a sense of curiosity in Boluogo's tone. Creating life was so fascinating.

"I still have a bottom line. I haven't done any atrocities like those fanatics who did human experiments or condensed the Philosopher's Stone, so the Order Bureau's treatment of me is quite tolerant. Of course, they can let me go so easily. In the end, The main reason is that I actually get results.”

Having said this, TEDA smiled confidently, but there was a hint of madness in this smile, which was completely inconsistent with the previous majesty.

"As for my results...she should be back."

After the words fell, there was a knock on the door. Boluogo turned his head and looked at the dark iron door.
