The career of an evil alchemist that started with picking up a crazy sword girl

"We have the opportunity to move freely, but the most troublesome thing is next," Jack Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief, "The source of magic in this city is underground. We have to find an entrance to the underground, and during this time we have to Not to be discovered."

"The boss also said that since they monitor tourists so strictly, it means that they have no way to easily distinguish tourists from citizens," Lan Jie said, "In this case, we just need to change into ordinary clothes and act normally after sneaking out. "As for finding the entrance to the underground, have you forgotten my race?"

"The Earthlings are innately close to the earth and can live underground for a long time, but does this have anything to do with finding a passage to the underground?" Jack Zhengyi asked confused.

"We are born with the instinct to explore the underground. We have some instinctive responses to places like caves and underground passages," Lan Jie said. "As long as we walk near the entrance, I will naturally be able to sense it."

"Oh? I really didn't know that," Jack Justice said in surprise.

"I told the boss about this before, so when we talked about the plan, he didn't talk about it, and just defaulted to leaving this job to me," Lan Jie said, "So in the next few days, the team that taught in Tianri Before we come here, our task is to find the passage leading to the underground, but..."

"But?" Jack asked righteously.

"There is one thing that I am a little concerned about," Lan Jie said. "Actually, when I was having lunch in the main hall today, I had a vague feeling..."

Upon hearing this, Jack Zhengyi immediately frowned and asked: "You mean, the passage is probably behind the main hall?"

"Yeah," Lan Jie nodded, "But that's probably the city lord's residence. It's probably the most heavily guarded place in the entire city. If the entrance is really there, and there's only one entrance, things might be in trouble. "

"This is really..." Jack Zhengyi pinched his eyebrows, "Anyway, let's go to the city early tomorrow morning and see if we can find another entrance. If we really can't find it, we'll find a way then. As for Now, let’s go to bed quickly and get up around four in the morning. If we want to leave, we have to sneak out when the night is darkest.”

At the same time, in the banquet hall.

Lu Lin, who was chatting and laughing with the city lord, was finally squeezed away by the enthusiastic tourists.

After all, there are many people who want to chat with the city lord, and they are not willing to let Lu Lin occupy the city lord and not let go.

For this, Lu Lin expressed his sincere gratitude to them.

Without the help of this group of people, Lu Lin really didn't know how to escape.

Chatting with this city lord is really not interesting, except for useless business exchanges, and if you have nothing to talk about, you can only use local food tasting.

It's not that Lu Lin doesn't know what to ask, it's just that he doesn't dare to ask what he wants to ask. The city lord is undoubtedly the most dangerous guy here, and he doesn't want to alert the enemy.

After returning to Li Mi and Sili, Lu Lin and Sili looked at each other and remained silent in a tacit understanding.

After all, this is not the place to talk. It was okay that no one paid attention to them before. Now Lu Lin has a lot of eyes on them. If you have anything to say, try not to say it here.

Seeing Lu Lin come back, Li Mi, who had been a little nervous, finally relaxed.

As for the basis for judgment...

Of course you can't tell on her face, you can only tell by the way she holds the killer whale.

She was holding the killer whale's tail earlier, obviously planning to take action at any time.

It's no wonder she was so nervous. After all, the city lord looked like an ordinary person on the surface, but in fact, he was not a human being, but a flesh and blood puppet.

He has a human body, but there is no soul inside this body, it is just a puppet.

The actual manipulator behind him, if nothing else, should be a lich.

Liches are generally divided into two types.

One is a wild lich that appears naturally and is a high-level monster.

The other is a lich transformed from a human being, a life-extending method exclusively used by necromancers.

Abandon the body and let yourself live in the form of a soul. On weekdays, you control various puppets to show others.

The advantage of this method is that it can extend the life span. Depending on the strength of the soul of the transformer during his lifetime, the life span may be extended by two to ten times.

At the same time, since there is no restraint of the body, the lich can replace the body with a powerful puppet, and the problem of the weak physical strength of the mage profession naturally disappears.

But there are many disadvantages. The first is that you will lose the five human senses. From then on, you can only use magic vision to observe the environment and nearby situations.

This special vision ability is also available to the Nether Beach Walker, but compared to the Nether Beach Walker who just gave up his vision, the Lich's magical vision will be more comprehensive and extensive.

But as a price, they can no longer enjoy any physical stimulation, can no longer taste delicious food, can no longer drink fine wine, and even have no mood swings because they have lost their brains.

There will be no excitement, no excitement, and even things like a sense of accomplishment or even curiosity will become weak.

And because the body is no longer complete, the individual's magic power and soul cannot continue to grow after transforming into a lich. What kind of strength it was when it was transformed will always be the same strength after that.

If you want to improve yourself, you can only improve in knowledge and technology.

However, learning knowledge and studying technology are very tiring. Without emotional fluctuations, it is difficult for lichs to obtain positive feedback in learning and studying. As a result, most lichs tend to fall into two extremes.

Either they become a person without any aspirations, wasting their time in a muddle-headed way, and becoming extremely autistic.

Or they will rely on their obsessions to pursue some extreme and paranoid things, becoming extremely dangerous.

And obviously, this lich here should belong to the second type.

Limi should have felt this, so he was so alert to him.

Or maybe Limi didn't think so much, and was simply afraid of the strength of this lich.

After all, necromancers who can become liches are definitely not easy to mess with. Their strength is guaranteed to be at the master level, and it is possible that they are grandmasters or even higher.

And because the stronger the lich, the longer its life span. In fact, among the liches, the most powerful ones are probably the most among all professions.

The reason why they usually have little sense of existence is entirely because of their eccentric personality and extremely polarized mental state, which causes them to either stay quietly somewhere to gather dust, or stay somewhere to do their own big things behind closed doors.

However, at this point, Lu Lin can be sure.

The behind-the-scenes pusher here should be the necromancer school.

After all, it might be possible to let a lich build this place, but it is difficult to operate all aspects of this city with a lich with a weird personality. There must be a force behind it.

In a sense, the results of the investigation have come out.

But after all, there is no evidence, and it is not clear why this place is so prosperous, so it is not yet completed.

"What if Limi fights this thing directly?"

This idea suddenly popped up in Lu Lin's mind.

Well...

Sure enough, forget it. Lu Lin is not sure what strength Limi has when he is fully fired. What if this lich was a grandmaster-level old monster in his lifetime, he is not sure whether Limi can handle it.

Moreover, this is the opponent's territory.

Again, if possible, please do not attack any magic professional strongman in his hometown. In such a place, the opponent's strength is likely to be several times stronger than in the outside world.

However...

Although Lu Lin will not take action here, it is hard to say for others.

If this city is the work of a lich...

Lu Lin had a bad feeling in his heart.

After all, according to rumors, this kind of lich is synonymous with extreme and paranoid.

If there is really a human battery underground, or even something more extreme...

According to their plan, the reconnaissance mission is given to Lan Jie and Jack Zhengyi, and only the two of them have the opportunity to do it.

But with Jack Zhengyi's character...

Hmm.

I always feel that by then we should be able to see the scene of the Grand Master of the Tianri Church fighting the old lich.

Chapter 169 Some relationships must be equal in position before they can appear

It is said that this dinner will last until one or two in the morning.

Of course, in fact, only the first two hours can be called a banquet.

This banquet looks like a banquet for aristocrats to socialize, but in essence it is just a group of tourists who don't know each other getting together to eat and brag. After eating and drinking, most people naturally go back to the casino to play, or go to the main hall to watch the performance.

Lu Lin and others are no exception. They left the banquet hall after dinner.

They wanted to leave like this, but after going downstairs, the three of them found that something was wrong.

There are three ways to leave from here.

One way is the road to the breakfast banquet, but the garden where the breakfast banquet is held is closed except in the morning, so it is obviously not accessible.

The other way is a small road to the city. On the way, you have to pass a building where there are a bunch of guides. Each team entering the city will be assigned a guide.

At this time, the door of the building is also closed.

Both roads are blocked, which means that if you want to leave here and enter the city, there is only one way.

It is the right way to go straight after leaving the auditorium.

This road is directly connected to the central square of the city. At a glance, it is extremely wide.

The two rows of neat magic crystal street lights on both sides emit soft light, illuminating the prosperity of the entire city.

Lu Lin had to admit that the night view of this city was beautiful, even comparable to the prosperous modern city.

But the problem is that there is not even one pedestrian on such a wide road in front of us.

That is to say, so far, not even one person has left after dinner.

Moreover, it is such a large city main road, but there is not even one citizen passing through it. It is hard not to suspect that there is some kind of regulation restricting this road.

"Can we really walk on this road?" Lu Lin couldn't help but ask this question.

"We should be able to walk if we want to," Si Li said, "After all, we have the identity of the Black Magic School, and we are still different from ordinary tourists."

"Difference," Lu Lin murmured, "but it's better if there is no difference."

"That's right, so let's be more sociable," Si Li said, "I'll take Suan to the main hall to see what they are going to perform, what about you?"

"Me..." Lu Lin thought for a while and glanced at Li Mi beside him.

In Li Mi's current state, he should not understand the drama.

As if noticing Lu Lin's gaze towards Li Mi, Si Li thought for a moment and said, "By the way, there should be very few people in the hot spring at night, so it might be a bit troublesome to take a bath or swim, but there is also a foot bath over there, how about you go sit there for a while?"

"Hmm? That sounds good," Lu Lin nodded, "I haven't been there yet."

"Okay, let's arrange it this way. I'll come to you after watching the show," Si Li said, and left first.

Lu Lin looked at Li Mi again.

Ever since meeting the city lord, Li Mi has been in a state of alert or preparation.

"If I go to soak her feet, I wonder if it can make her relax a little bit..."

Lu Lin thought of this and reached out to touch Li Mi's head.

The latter looked over.

Lu Lin smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to sit."

Li Mi was still expressionless as usual, but she just moved closer to Lu Lin.

Obviously, this was her response.

Although it was just a little feedback, it was much better than before.

Lu Lin felt that since Li Mi drank the Moon Goddess's Kiss, her condition seemed to have been gradually improving at a very slow speed.

Although he was not sure to what extent she could recover, as long as she could recover slowly, it would be good.

Lu Lin didn't expect Li Mi to recover to the innocence she had when she first came to this world after experiencing all this.

But at least, he hoped that Li Mi could recover to the point where she could eat, drink and have fun like a normal person.

Well...

But in fact, she can enjoy eating and drinking now.

Even...

Maybe because Li Mi can only enjoy eating and drinking at present, she has even shown some signs of becoming a foodie recently.

That's good too.

For a long time before, Li Mi relied on sleeping to get by, and didn't eat well, so she was a little too thin.

Now she can eat well, and her complexion looks much better than before.

Just as Lu Lin was thinking about this, the two of them also walked to the hot spring swimming pool area.
