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

"In the end, it seems that this matter is still unresolved..."

Listening to Lan Jie's narration, Lu Lin's mouth twitched.

He always felt as if countless past lives had passed through his mind, but he couldn't remember what it was.

"Forget it, who cares, anyway, we can take care of ourselves when the time comes," Lu Lin sighed.

"By the way, boss, have you prepared everything you said before?" Lan Jie asked.

"Yes, everything is done," Lu Lin nodded, "I also tried the most troublesome one when you went to the city yesterday, and the effect is quite good."

"Then I feel much more relieved," Lan Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly sat up straight as if he noticed something, stretched his neck and looked forward.

"What's wrong?" Lu Lin asked.

"The Chamber of Commerce's flag has been raised," Lan Jie said, "It looks like the team is about to set off."

————

————

"According to the Chamber of Commerce's speed of progress, it will take about half a month to get from here to the destination," Lan Jie said, "Our supplies should be just enough. Even if they are not enough, we can buy some from the Chamber of Commerce team in a few days. Their reserves have always been very sufficient. Although they are definitely more expensive than in the city, considering that they occupy their transportation capacity, this premium is not unacceptable."

At this moment, they have already set off, and Lu Lin and others' earth dragons are walking in the middle and back of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Will we enter the dangerous area in about a few days?" Lu Lin asked.

"Five or six days later," Lan Jie said, "but it's best to prepare in advance. Our target is too big, and we may be attacked even at the edge of the dangerous area."

"Okay, I know," Lu Lin said, patting Lan Jie on the shoulder, leaving the balcony, and then going directly to the attic.

Now in the attic, in addition to the alchemical raw materials stored, there is now a wooden shelf under the skylight.

There is a platform for standing in the middle and upper part of the shelf, and there are item racks on both sides of the platform. At this time, a crossbow and some crossbow arrows are hung on the shelf.

Lu Lin has made a lot of preparations these days, and this is one of them.

Although the caravan has guards, after all, the team is so long. If they encounter an attack, the main task of the guards must be to deal with the main body of the incoming monster group. At that time, there may be loose monsters that are free and aim at Lu Lin and others; if they don’t want the earth dragon to be injured, Lu Lin and others will have to solve it themselves.

For this reason, not only Lu Lin and his team, but in fact, most of the house-carrying earth dragons will also be arranged with crossbow shooting positions like Lu Lin and his team to attack those scattered monsters.

Lu Lin climbed up the shelf, opened the skylight, picked up the crossbow, and gestured around.

It’s not that he wants to test shoot. He has already tested enough in the past two days. Now the team is moving, and the crossbow arrows cannot be recovered for test shooting, so there is no need to waste them.

Now I pick it up, just want to feel whether it will feel different on the moving earth dragon than when it is not moving.

At this time, on the ground dragons behind them, several uncles driving the ground dragons watched Lu Lin open the skylight and take the crossbow without crossbow arrows to gesture around, looked at each other, and smiled.

"Haha, this kid with a big cat on his back is really interesting," an uncle laughed without caring whether Lu Lin could hear him or not, "Is this the first time running this route? How can you be so nervous when you are just getting there?"

"Hey! How can you talk like that," another uncle smiled and continued, "Can't I just feel fresh, so I'm eager to try it now?"

Hearing the laughter behind him, Lu Lin's mouth twitched immediately.

It's bad, I'm being laughed at.

And in a sense, it really hit the nail on the head.

Damn, it feels a bit awkward.

No, I can't show embarrassment. As long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

With this mentality, Lu Lin pretended to check the crossbow and looked at it back and forth in his hand, then put the crossbow down, put his hands on his waist, and began to patrol around, pretending that he was here to see the scenery and check the crossbow.

Unfortunately, even so, Lu Lin still heard a faint laugh behind him.

Just when Lu Lin felt that his forehead nerves were twitching constantly due to embarrassment, suddenly, a black shadow seemed to flash across the place where his sight passed.

"Huh?" Lu Lin was stunned for a moment.

What was there just now?

Lu Lin looked at the place where the black shadow passed, and he vaguely felt that there seemed to be something staying there in the shadow of the woods.

"Is it a wild beast? If it's a wild boar or something, can I shout "What a big wild boar" to ease the embarrassment?" It was out of such a funny idea that Lu Lin put on a crow mask and wanted to borrow the "Eternal Night Lens of the Sleepless Night Crow" to see what the black shadow was.

But what he saw at a glance was completely beyond Lu Lin's expectations.

In the shadow, Lu Lin saw a wolf.

A wolf that was not a physical entity, but was made up of wisps of black mist.

"What is this thing? An energy body? Or a wolf? A magical creature? Or some kind of magical beast?"

Just as Lu Lin was shocked, the wolf looked over.

Although there were no so-called eyes in the black mist, Lu Lin clearly felt that the thing was looking at him.

And just by looking at each other, Lu Lin felt a chill running up his spine.

Lu Lin immediately wanted to remind everyone to pay attention, but as soon as he opened his mouth, in the blink of an eye, the wolf had dissipated with the wind. When he looked there again, there was nothing left, not even the slightest energy aftermath. remain.

Even after looking around, Lu Lin couldn't find anything unusual.

It was as if everything just now was just Lu Lin's illusion.

Chapter 75: Is this the bald head cherishing the bald head@;?

"A wolf-shaped shadow made of dark energy?"

Lan Jie looked at Lu Lin in shock.

"Don't scare me, what is that?"

"I'm asking you just because I don't know," Lu Lin said. "It's hidden in the woods. You can't see anything with the naked eye. I can only see it with my lens."

"I, I don't know, I've never been to the dungeon," Lan Jie said, "But didn't we just leave the city? Isn't that right? Boss, did you really make a mistake?"

"I'm sure I didn't make a mistake," Lu Lin said, "How about we go talk to the people from the big chamber of commerce about this?"

"If there is a chance tonight, let's go talk to the captain of the guard," Lan Jie said. "The captain of the guard here originally wanted me to help in their team, but I said there are only three of us here, and one of them is sick. He needs to be taken care of and I have to drive, so he didn’t let me come, but I chatted with him for a while and we got along pretty well. It shouldn’t be difficult to talk to him.”

"Okay, let's talk about it tonight," Lu Lin nodded, "I'll go take a look at the attic."

The caravan moved forward until the sun was about to set.

After the team stopped, teams riding in horse-drawn carriages and other small freight vehicles began to set up camp and make fires to cook.

For people like Lu Lin and others who have house-carrying earth dragons, they finish most of their dinners on the way. At about six or seven o'clock, almost everyone driving the earth dragons has a bowl of food in their hands. Yes, the whole team was full of delicious food, and the people who couldn't eat almost starved themselves to death.

Now that the team has stopped, these hungry brothers are naturally eager to cook and are busy for a while. However, Lu Lin and others are free and can walk around and chat with each other.

As soon as Lu Lin got off the ground dragon, the uncles who were on the ground dragon behind him immediately waved and greeted him, and even gestured with their hands to shoot with a crossbow, which made Lu Lin embarrassed for a while.

But seeing the uncles laughing, Lu Lin also knew that they meant no harm, so he returned the same gesture as them, and the joke was over.

After Lu Lin came down, Li Mi soon followed.

However, Lu Lin had already expected that she would follow him. In order not to make her stand out too much, he helped her change into a large plain coat, loose trousers, and a bamboo hat, which made her look like a knight-errant.

Of course, even so, her unique temperament and the pretty girlish face under the brim of her hat are equally eye-catching.

But there is Lu Lin on the side. When it comes to attracting attention, it is Lu Lin, the big man with a big face and cat claws on his pockets, who is better.

Lan Jie was the last to come down, holding a pot of chicken soup in his hand.

The twin mud puppets were left at the door to look after the house and sweep the ashes at the door.

"So, boss, have you ever seen the strange shadow you mentioned?" Lan Jie walked ahead with chicken soup and asked as he walked.

"We've never seen each other again," Lu Lin said. "Mainly, when I saw it for the first time, I felt that the thing noticed me looking at it. I guess it won't be that easy to see it again."

"Well... let's talk to the guard captain anyway..." Lan Jie said.

Not long after, Lan Jie led the two of them to the place where the guards were camping.

At this moment, the escort team is also making fire and cooking. After all, most of them ride their own mounts, so it is naturally impossible for them to start dinner in advance. The remaining ones without mounts, although most of them will stay on other people's house-carrying dragons, but for the sake of time Be warned, they won't eat in advance either.

Even now, some people were sent out to patrol the area to ensure safety.

"Hey, Captain Luofu! I'm here to add some food to you," Lan Jie shouted from a distance to a bonfire.

Hearing Lan Jie's voice, a group of guards immediately cast curious glances. A bald warrior who was a little tall but very strong, wearing a knight's armor and with a noble family crest on his chest, turned around and saw that it was Lan Jie immediately smiled and said, "Hey! Isn't this my brother Lan Jie! So polite! Come and sit down!"

Lu Lin looked at the soldier's bald head, and then at Lan Jie's bald head.

Um……

I feel like I suddenly understand why these two people are so in tune with each other.

Lan Jie put down the pot of chicken soup, and the guards immediately gathered around them. They were all hungry, and the things they cooked on the fire were not cooked well. Now that there was cooked food, they all seemed to come to ask for some. bowl.

Lan Jie scooped a bowl for Captain Luo Fu first, and then divided it among them casually.

Captain Luo Fu led a few people to a tree a little further away, sat down cross-legged, took a sip of soup, and breathed out: "Huh, this soup tastes really good, thank you, Brother Lanjie, tell me Well, you are looking for me for something, right? Do you want to move yourself forward in the team?"

"Huh? Can you arrange this?" Lan Jie said in surprise, he really didn't expect this.

"It's okay, but I don't recommend it," Captain Luo Fu said. "If someone finds out, you will be the target of public criticism... But if you say this, does it mean that you are not here for this?"

"Indeed not," Lan Jie said, patted Lu Lin on the shoulder and said, "Let me introduce, this is my boss, his name is Lu Lin."

"Well, hello, Brother Lu Lin," Captain Luo Fu nodded to Lu Lin, then looked at Lu Lin's clothes and smiled, "Very unique clothes."

"Haha, thank you," Lu Lin smiled, "Hello, Captain Luo Fu."

"Does this mean you have something to tell me?" Captain Luo Fu asked.

"Yes," Lu Lin nodded, "Today when I was observing the surroundings on top of the Earth Dragon, I noticed a strange figure hiding in the shadows."

"Strange shadow?" Captain Luofu raised an eyebrow, "What kind of thing?"

"A wolf shadow, completely black, not like an entity, it should be some kind of energy body," Lu Lin said, "I saw it, it must have noticed me, and then disappeared, and I was confused all day long. I kept looking but never saw it again.”

"So evil?" A guard soldier on the side who heard their conversation interjected, "Isn't it because you are dazzled? For example, what you actually saw was the shadow of a tree or something?"

"No," Lu Lin shook his head and said, "Brothers have their own abilities. If the ordinary light and shadow are mistaken, that's all. I can't possibly miss that weird energy."

"Captain, what do you think?" The soldier looked at Luo Fe.

At this moment, Luofu frowned. After a long moment, he said, "You must have seen it wrong. After all, we have just left the city. There is no reason to bump into the Warcraft so quickly..."

"Now, I'll just say it," the soldier shrugged.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Luo Fu continue: "If you saw another shadow, I would definitely say what I just said, but..."

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.

"But?" Lan Jie asked.

"But if it is a wolf shadow, then the situation is different," Luo Fu said solemnly, "Few people know that in the dungeon ahead, all that have appeared so far are various monsters that look like wolf dogs, and... before You also know that there is news in the city that the previous team was seriously injured?"

"Actually, I was the one who spread the news, because the person who received the news was me."

"And the message I received mentioned what you said, the black wolf shadow..."

Chapter 76: They are not brainless beasts, but intelligent enemies.

"Captain, did you spread that news?" The soldier on the side was stunned, "Then captain, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I can't say," Captain Luo Fu said helplessly, "I am the only one who knows about this matter, but I am the guard captain. If I say this, those people will only think that I want them to pay more. So I can only spread the news and let them make trouble. When the trouble is over, I will mention it to them and then tell them that the source of the news is unknown, but the credibility is not low. It is a pity that it almost succeeded. "

"Wait, Captain Luofu, do you know something?" Lu Lin asked.

"Well," Captain Roff nodded, "The captain of the previous team was named Kulm, and he was a very good friend of mine. After he got there, he sent me a letter as soon as possible, saying that they were in In the forest, they encountered a stronger attack than before. However, in just a few days, they fought against swarms of monsters more than a dozen times, and they were still being pursued until they arrived at the guard area of ​​the next city. The reason... …”

Captain Luo said this, turned to look at Lu Lin, and said in a deep voice: "He also mentioned what you just said, the black wolf shadow that follows you..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a chill.

The soldiers on the side almost dropped the half-eaten cake in their hands.

"Wait, that means that those group of monsters are already targeting us now?" the soldier said in astonishment, "Their scope of influence is so wide?"

"Speaking of this... I have been paying attention to one thing when measuring the scope of influence of this dungeon before," Captain Rove said. "The standard for measuring the scope of influence of the dungeon has always been based on the records of World of Warcraft activities. To determine, where the monsters have moved farthest will be regarded as the limit of their influence."

"It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it?" Lan Jie asked doubtfully.

"No, there is a problem," Captain Rove said. "According to the existing data, the records of World of Warcraft activities that currently determine the boundaries of the affected area are all records of attacks on armed caravans, and every time they are attacked, they are encountered at the beginning. A large-scale attack, because the armed caravan has a big target, so not many people care about it, but..."
