Out of the cage

As an employee with full fishing experience.

Wei Keng knows very well that the process is sometimes more important than the result.

First, he used the group teleportation technique to send his batch of apprentices back to the magic workshop in Xian Geling,

As for the workshop, Wei Keng had already applied the "resident phantom" for remote management.

[Illusion, five-ring spells, can run according to your own script. Contains dialogue. 】

In this way, after arranging everything in the house properly, the young master Carret ran to the mercenary camp on the outer circle of the imperial capital's Juni Lake swamp area—continuing the "process" of returning to the north.

In other words, Carret sent back the young mechanic apprentices, and ran to the vicinity of the capital by himself, preparing to complete the "walking return journey" alone.

Carret: The king won't let me in. I have to walk all the way back to let everyone know.

Wei Keng complained: "The company's evaluation of my ability is often not whether I can come up with a plan in one afternoon, but how much overtime I have worked on the plan. Well, what the bosses look at is the work attitude of young people."

~

The mercenary base in the Eiger Swamp gathers a large number of people looking for a living. Of course, good and evil are mixed. The perennial program in the tavern is that the old mercenaries brag, then trick the newcomers into drinking, and then pretend to be drunk after drinking.

Many times, some bankrupt farmers came to be warriors with two axes. And some magicians can call themselves spellcasters by using acid mist bombs and flash bombs prepared by the earth method in ceramic pots under their long earthen robes. And some thieves are really thieves.

Today in the wooden house, the idle mercenaries waited for the surrounding caravans to issue missions as usual. ——The most important task at the foot of the imperial capital is to lead the way, oh, if you want to go to the swamp to find the trouble of slaughtering the carrion crocodile, then you have to find the big brother in the group.

But today in the hall, where such a group of old fritters hang out, a man who is obviously a noble young master came.

Light brown solid-colored hair, wearing a dark indigo hard suit, and a light-colored robe with mechanical gears and crankshafts embroidered on the robe.

The eyes of the thieves lit up, and they wanted to come forward to guide the young master.

But with the flicker of the young master's hand, dozens of sources of light appeared in the dark wooden hall, illuminating the surroundings brightly, and made the thieves pause for a moment before retreating.

This light technique is a symbol of a regular spellcaster to everyone in the tavern soaked in the sour smell.

~

After Wei Keng glanced around, due to his proficiency in the arcane art of legend, an introduction pop-up window appeared on everyone's head in the perspective

Carret sat down at a drunken warrior's table and took out three gold coins.

The soldier's eyes lit up, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the gold coins on the table. His movements were quick, and he looked drunk.

But after his hand touched the gold coin, the gold coin disappeared.

In short, this is just a projection, a projection that simulates the sound and the vibration of the table touch, it is a small illusion.

The soldier looked up at Wei Keng.

Wei Keng: "I don't lack these few gold coins, but I don't like people robbing me, even if it's one or two copper coins." Speaking of this, Wei Keng threw out ten copper coins. Let the waiter here serve another jug ​​of wine.

However, the soldier said to the waiter: "Keep it until I drink it next time." However, Carret threw another ten copper coins, "These ten coins are for him to drink next time", and asked the waiter to drink Put this pot here

Jia Mingbo: "Where are you going?" He was a little dissatisfied, watching the young master put the wine on his side alone. But then I saw that the young master seemed to be performing a unique bartending operation on the wine, and I couldn't help but feel a little bit looking forward to it.

Wei Keng: "Suoman collar." Wei Keng was talking, and at the same time, he looked at the Austrian method that screened the molecules released in the wine glass. The bottle, after dripping into a small bottle of malt liquid, released an aromatic sweetness.

Jia Mingbo: "Caravan escort?" He licked his lips when he smelled the heart-warming smell of the suspended wine on Wei Keng's white wrist

Wei Keng: "I'm alone." After Mr. Wei filtered the wine, he began to pressurize the carbon dioxide. This was the carbon dioxide collected from the vigorous trees in the early hours of yesterday, which brought the sleeping intoxication of the plants.

Jia Mingbo: "When you go to that place, just find someone to lead the way, as long as you follow the main road, you will be there."

Wei Keng: "Yes, just follow the main road." Put a glass of wine into a glass bottle and start to freeze it with frost magic.

The soldier looked at Wei Keng, frowned and asked, "If there are additional risks in this mission, please explain in detail." But his eyes never left the movement of the bartending.

Wei Keng lowered his head and thought for a while: "Well, there is no additional risk. I am just walking alone, and I am a little panicked. Find some more people to accompany me." He looked at the time and began to count down.

Warrior: "5 gold coins, there was an accident in the middle, I need to add extra money."

Wei Keng: "Only for serious injuries and disabilities, I will add money. For minor injuries that can be repaired, I will only provide medicine." After saying that, he handed the bottle of cold beer to the soldier.

The gluttonous drinker drank it heartily, and the cold feeling made his whole body refreshed. The dizzy feeling caused by the hangover was eliminated at once.

Jia Mingbo was holding back a hiccup, but he couldn't bear to hiccup it. Reminiscingly said: "The craftsmanship of the natural elf wine house."

Wei Keng learned this bartending skill systematically. It is the drink pairing he studied when studying barbecue cooking and preventing getting angry.

That's it, the next day

The warrior called the other four people to form a team. The team composition is very standard, a thief in charge of investigation, an archer, a doctor (who masters the technology of using herbs for medical treatment), and a bard, um, probably This is the job, he doesn't have the ability to sing and cast spells, he is just a young man with a very good eloquence, suitable for opening up the joints in the nearby large and small territories.

So, five days after the city gate was blocked, Wei Keng and his group set out on the road.

Contrary to the expectations of everyone in the entire team, the road was very quiet, there were no interceptions and killings, and even few thieves were seen, and the thieves encountered looked at this standard team of adventurers, and they walked around Walk. This trip, it seems, looks like an outing.

And the employer (Wei Keng) is very generous. When passing through the town, he bought the best food tents.

The only quirk is asking for more camping.

~

During the camping process, Wei Keng was sketching landscape paintings.

This is what normal people see, but in fact it is communicating with the ether world.

The etheric world, that is, the spiritual world, is the thin film of the material world according to the arcane theory, but from the perspective of Wei Keng, an earth traveler, this is the quantum entangled world that stores a large amount of information about the movement of matter and energy layer.

Through surveying and mapping, Wei Keng discovered that different regions of the main material world have different degrees of difficulty in opening up the ether world.

For example, in places like cities, there will be complex layers in the corresponding etheric world, some layers are light, some are dark, some are obviously cold, and some are fiery. At different levels, there will be different ghost creatures, and the peaceful place where the glorious soul lives is like the ghost world corresponding to the main material world.

In the wilderness, the ether world is peaceful, but there are also various ghost creatures, such as the most common dangerous creature ghost wolf, they exist in large groups, projected into reality, and launch surprise attacks under the night. Compared with ghost wolves, the ghosts produced by murders in urban houses are a dish.

~

According to the information provided by the system, in some ancient battlefields, due to the large number of deaths that occurred hundreds of thousands of years ago, a huge amount of information has also been accumulated, connecting the ether world and the main material world.

At night, shadowy beings from the Ethereal Plane come and go from the Material Plane, raiding travelers who have to pass by.

Of course, if there is an unrecoverable spiritual event in the city, it will also cause the reflection of the main substance of a certain human settlement in the ether world (haunted house supernatural).

~

The etheric plane is the foundation of the school of conjuration.

The lightning and flames cast by the evocation system can also be summoned by the conjuration system.

Of course, relatively speaking, the conjuration system directly summons the quantum information of the ether world, and the magic energy summoned is all animate.

The low-level conjuration contract spirits are very common. And advanced spells, without exception, reach contracts with powerful creatures through the medium of the ether world.

The flying dragons summoned by the conjuration system above the seventh ring are not real bodies, but the information projections of those powerful creatures stored in the ether world. These powerful creatures fulfill the contract with the conjurers through the stored information.

And the transmission of various information in the ether world is easier than in the main material world. What does this mean?

Now the place where the main industrial area starts to operate, because of the energy tunneling effect, is also sending the amount of information towards the etheric world, such as the heat in the steelmaking furnace, the electricity in the electrolytic furnace.

On the third day of the trip, Wei Keng was camping in a small village. He took out a small stick engraved with mantras, pressed his finger to the stick, and a gentle electric light spread out from the stick.

And the mantra on this stick is synchronized with the mantra engraved on the electrolytic furnace hundreds of kilometers away. The mantras of the two places connect the spirit across space.

Wei Keng was talking to himself, but he was actually asking the system: "Actually, it can develop across space, right?"

System: "Energy and standards can be projected across space."

~

~

For any good thing, Wei Keng would always think of the dark side.

The ether world is the projection of the main material world, and the complexity of the main material world will project complicated influences on the ether world. For example, the complexity of the city will allow all kinds of negative information to reside.

However, large-scale and complex industries have made breakthroughs in technology. Will it have an unfathomable impact on the ether world?

Development and collapse are the two directions of all forms.

The higher the development, the more terrifying the collapse will be. In short, inorganic substances such as sand will not rot, but organic substances will collapse into various substances.

Wei Keng: "If I take one step forward, what would it be like to go backward?"

~

~

After arriving at Soman territory.

Wei Keng parted ways with this adventure team, and finally paid them fifteen gold coins. Of course, before parting, he asked them to do him a favor and find another small adventure team locally to help him reach the next territory.

It was only then that the rosy nose realized that this was really a young master. The road heading north was hired by several people, but it was a leisurely walk in the courtyard if he could go faster, and he spent extra money to hire him. The most is the prodigal son.

Of course, on the bright side, he still found local familiar and trustworthy friends, introduced this trivial and easy task to them, and explained the daily life of this "young mage".

~

When Wei Keng walked all the way north, the lords in various regions soon discovered the traces of Carret.

Walking slowly and ostentatiously along the way, who wouldn't notice it?

Of course, no lord would take the initiative to come to Carret. Getting involved in royal troubles isn't good, at best it's just whispers.

This was enough. The chatter between these nobles finally reached the ears of the royal family within half a month. By this time, Wei Keng had already traveled more than half of the way north.

The way home is more than half done.

Almost, it also performed more than half of the farce of the Xingche royal family that many lords loved.

~

August twenty-second. When the storm was coming, in Runyu City, a team of kingdom mages finally blocked the wandering son of Carret in the mercenary mission center.

The leading mage of the Kingdom, after meeting Karuite, performed a standard mage ceremony and invited Karuite to be a guest at Grand Master Suojia in the imperial capital.

Carret accepted their invitation calmly, and at the same time took out a magic gem. The gem jumped continuously in the space, sparks and lightning all the way, bounced around in a crackling circle, and sent the anti-space transmission ban they arranged to Breaker. Lose.

The complexions of these mages changed suddenly, and then they couldn't help but feel heartbroken. This anti-space teleportation restriction is not cheap, and it ended up being smashed by the royal prodigal son.

Fight soldiers with soldiers, and rituals with rituals.

Carret also made an invitation ceremony for mages, inviting them to sit in his arcane territory first.

There is still a straight-line distance of more than one hundred miles from the territory. And there is a teleportation array built by magicians in this city, and the five-ring magic teleportation technique can rely on the energy stored here to quickly travel back and forth between the two places. Of course, Wei Keng wanted to connect his territory with the teleportation point here.

Of course, this is a process of persuasion.

~

half an hour later.

Master Birming looked at this 'stubborn' boy with a very headache.

The task they accepted was to bring Carret back to the imperial capital, but the son in front of him was so persistent that it was hard to understand. The route he was looking for was just unwilling to change, and he had to go around to his destination first, and then accept it. One-stage alien plan.

The supervisors have all experienced Wei Keng's stubborn donkey spirit, and neither Qin Xiaohan nor Bai Linglu has directly persuaded Wei Keng about it.

Carret: "Yes, you can go back to the imperial capital."

Mages: "Then go now."

Carret: "No, I'll go home first."

Mage: "Is there any arrangement for your mentor?"

Carret: "No, I want to go back and have some tea first. I need to rest up after living out for a month."

The mages: "Can you go to the imperial capital to solve the matter first, and then return to the mage's territory?"

Carret: "No, I originally planned to go back to the territory first. Then I will go to the imperial capital."

With regard to this sorting problem, the mages had a taste of the independent rebellion of adolescents.

~

In the system space, Wei Keng's character has such a bad side, which also aroused the surprise in the space.

The new inspector asked cautiously: "Is it easy for Wei Keng explorers to have such a situation?"

Some old people (Liao Yangxiu) who passed through the empty twisting plane said: "Yes, he is good at everything, that is, the special axis, the circle he wants to circle, even if you force it back, he will still go backwards. , go again."

New Overseer: "Well, is he like this and no one (the old Overseer) is arguing with him?"

Liao Yangxiu took a look, and Qin Xiaohan and Bai Linglu from the two studios sighed: "You have to know that quarreling can't solve the problem. In the end, it's my patience that gets resolved."

~

In this way, none of the eight mages could beat Carret alone.

He was abruptly dragged back to the Northern Industrial Territory. However, after a month of stormy and rainy season, when the mages were finally going south again, Carret had to follow the procedure and bring a batch of new steam cars to the south, which was expected to take another month. This time, these mages finally couldn't bear it anymore.

This is like some office departments in ancient times, filling out the form, queuing up, refilling the form if the format is wrong, and queuing up again. Such a lot of people's mentality.

Master Birming came to the Holy Land of the Temple of Heaven and solemnly negotiated with Carret.

Finally, Boming couldn't bear it any longer, and began to speak harshly: "If your Excellency insists on reaching the imperial capital in this way, we will not be able to escort you."

None of these threats count as threats, however.

Karet nodded and said, "Oh, I understand, you just need to give me the king's letter, and I can go all the way by myself."

Birming's complexion changed, he gave Carret a cold look, took out the king's order from the shadows, and handed it to him. Then, they left an explanatory letter to the so-called mentor of Likaruit, the Holy Land of Arcane Law, and left in a hurry.

Then, Wei Keng set off again towards the south. Master Wei chose another route to the south on the map, and decided to promote the power of industrial mechanization again.

~

Above the tank, a floating shuttle with a wooden structure and metal propellers was lifted into the air. This is the principle of relying on the spirit of the conjuration system to communicate energy. The energy supply has been updated, so that the electric rod in the plane is connected to the generator of the hydropower station at the rear, and the energy is directly summoned!

The pesticide machine began to fly above the tank, marching into the imperial capital for the second time, Carret's team was not only mechanized, but also covered by the air force.

Oh, this plane was developed for the purpose of spraying pesticides

The insecticidal arcana uses necromancy. Although the rotten biogas cannot be used for the synthesis of fertilizer urea, it can produce organic matter with negative effects.

When farming this year, the planes have already sprayed "mating agents" on the locusts, which will allow them to hug each other before they can grab enough nutrients, and lay eggs on dry land that is not suitable for laying eggs. Of course, some cuddles are right, or even the male and the male report the right, and they don't lay eggs at all. And these extremely weak negative effects on insects will dissipate in a few days with the sunlight.

This trip to the south happened to be the sowing stage on the land of the southern part of the lord. Wei Keng's plan is to make a good sale.

Wei Keng has always been walking according to his established goals and plans. Even if someone else gave an order, he still fulfilled his goals in the process of executing the operation.

As for the summoning of the royal family, it is not the most important goal for Wei Keng, this, everything is done slowly. ——For those second-bi leaders, no matter how good the job is, they can still be picked out. There is no need to do it quickly, well, and accurately.

Master Wei: "In ancient times, there was Shang Yang Tumu, and today there are three lines of my imperial capital."
