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

As soon as he finished speaking, another voice interrupted.

"That needs a little explanation."

Jack Zhengyi turned his head and found that the person who spoke was a hunched old man with a red beard.

He was wearing a dark brown robe and a red shawl, and on the side of the shawl, there was a pattern of a flaming blade.

At a glance, Jack Zhengyi recognized the other party.

His name was Kakrol Yanfeng, the then-big boss of the Yanfeng Gang, the actual gang in power in Ken'ermier City, and the person with the closest power to the city lord in the entire city-state.

"This... Sorry, I can't explain it clearly," Jack Zhengyi said, "If you need to know, you may have to ask my boss. He arranged all this."

"Boss?" The old master beside him raised his eyebrows immediately, "When did you have a boss?"

"After I arrived in the city, I didn't have enough money, so I asked the local Chamber of Commerce for a simple job," Jack Zhengyi said, "They arranged me to be the accountant in this boss's store."

"I, a member of the Tianri Sect, was actually arranged to be the accountant?!"

The old master almost shouted it out, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he looked at the old gang leader beside him and reacted immediately.

This job was probably arranged by this person. After all, as soon as Jack Zhengyi arrived in the city, he sent the letter to the Tianri Sect. Obviously, he knew Jack Zhengyi's identity from the beginning, and the purpose of this so-called work arrangement should be to stabilize Jack Zhengyi and let him stay in the city first.

I didn't expect that it would be such a seemingly ordinary arrangement that involved him in this incident involving both the Tianri Sect and the Mingtan Walker.

"Isn't this too coincidental? Could this be the fate of Gang Luo?" An inexplicable thought came to the old master's mind, which also made him curious about the boss mentioned by Jack Zhengyi.

"So, your boss is the witch over there?" The old gang leader asked.

"Her? No, she joined in purely because she had a grudge against the necromancer," Jack Zhengyi said, "My boss...ah! He's here."

As he said that, Jack Zhengyi pointed in a certain direction.

The two old men immediately looked in the direction of Jack Zhengyi's finger.

Then, they were almost stunned at the same time.

A man in a black robe, holding a ruby ​​staff and wearing a crow mask, walked over with a girl in a black dress, a short leather jacket, a top hat, and holding a killer whale doll made of unknown material.

Of course, there was nothing surprising about this picture.

The focus was on the man's clothes.

There were two cat ears on the top of the hood, and half of a cute cat face was printed on the upper edge of the hood. The pockets on both sides were decorated with cat paw patterns, and the hem of the robe had gradient decorations like cat stripes.

Suddenly, the girl stopped.

The man looked down and found that the straps on the side of the girl's shoes were loose, so he squatted down naturally to help the girl tie the straps.

This action also exposed the man's back.

On his back, there was a huge gray cat with a big face.

Chapter 139 Revenge is too violent and not suitable for our warm family of the Holy Church

Saint Tols Empire, southeast coast.

The dark sea waves hit the coast, splashing bursts of water mist.

The sea breeze blew, and the blue-green flames swayed in the wind and water, as if they were about to go out at any time, but they could always be rekindled after dimming.

On the coast, a large number of dead branches built a strange altar.

There were countless torches placed around the altar, some of which were burning with blue flames, and some were not lit, just standing alone.

The altar itself had a structure that looked like a shrine, but the person sitting in the shrine was not a statue or tablet symbolizing a god, but an old man with a dead body.

The old man wore a wooden mask on his face. Unlike ordinary masks, this mask did not have eye holes for vision. It was engraved with seven strange marks, forming a circle, and in the middle of the circle, there were countless eyes.

Those eyes were lifelike and densely packed. They did not look like human eyes, but rather like indescribable evil and weird, which made people feel creepy.

The old man had white hair hanging down to the ground, his skin was shriveled like a zombie, and his muscle lines were like dead wood. He sat cross-legged on the shrine, his hands formed a complex seal, and the whole person was motionless, even his chest did not rise and fall. If it were not for the seal in his hands that changed from time to time, people would doubt whether he was dead.

Suddenly, a sea breeze blew, and the torches around the shrine flickered, and the light suddenly dimmed.

However, after the sea breeze passed, the burning torches regained their previous brightness.

Only the torch three meters away from the old man's right hand did not light up again.

As if noticing this, the old man's hand, which was about to make a seal, stopped in mid-air, and then he changed his hand seals and made several different seals in succession.

When the last seal was made, a sea breeze stronger than before blew, and the sea breeze passed through the gaps between the branches of the shrine, making a series of humming sounds like the weeping of a sea siren.

Saint Tols Empire, Northeast Border, Seventh Holy City, Saint Melin Cathedral.

An archbishop wearing a holy crown and a golden robe was standing under the faceless statue, looking up at the statue in front of him.

His face and figure are quite round, his nose is also round, and even his ears and eyebrows are very round. His eyes are so small that they look like they cannot be opened.

This is not because he is fat, but because he is a "Dedu" person.

People of this race all have this chubby appearance. Their round body shape makes their athletic ability much worse than other races, but it also gives them innate magical power that far exceeds that of other races.

Even for races such as the Great Elves, who are known for their magical talents, it is difficult for the total amount of magic in the body to exceed half of theirs with the same strength.

Q group: 543659389 As for people of this race, I don’t know whether it’s because they are broad-minded and fat, or because of the impression given by their round shape. Most of the time, they give people a sense of joy. A feeling of joy and kindness.

But the archbishop's face was full of sorrow at the moment, and his plump eyebrows were knitted together.

At this moment, a burly knight in golden armor walked into the church, came all the way behind the archbishop, knelt down on one knee, and bowed devoutly.

"Dear Archbishop Saint-Douluo, I wonder why you called me here?" the knight asked.

"Sister Mellens, how long has she been away from her church?" the Dedu Archbishop asked.

"Since the last search for the Arc Sword Lady ended, she left her church, and I haven't received any news of her return yet," the knight said. "The specific date... I can't remember clearly. I hope the archbishop will atone for his sins.”

"It doesn't matter, what I want to ask is not the number of days," the Dedu archbishop shook his head slightly, "She probably won't be able to come back. Let's find a suitable person to take her place."

"What..." the knight was stunned, "How could it be? Lord St. Melens, she is not..."

"Just now, news came from the Netherworld Branch," said the Archbishop of the Dedu Tribe. "Gayi Ming, who left the empire with Sister Melens some time ago, has been confirmed dead. I received this news. Later, I went to the communication room to see that Melens' distress crystal was not broken, but I sent a signal to it and received no response. "

"This... with the strength of these two people, how could this happen?" The knight still seemed to be in disbelief, "Is it from the royal family?"

"No, judging from the information from the Netherworld Branch, it happened in the Land of Chaos. I don't know what happened," the Dedu Archbishop said helplessly, "I don't know how many times I have said it, it's okay. Don't go to that place, you just don't listen... By the way, is there any new development in Loves Hades Valley?"

"According to the recent report from Priest Leshi, the progress is very slow," the knight replied. "Now someone in the Great Holy See seems to be proposing to send that person in, but the higher-ups seem to be afraid that that person will lose control and cause problems. The Black Knife Incident of a hundred years ago will happen again, so there is a high probability that we will not agree..."

"Really... Sigh," the Archbishop of the Dedu tribe sighed, "Then apply to the higher-ups and allocate some more people here. If this continues, all the wandering ghosts in Loves Hades Valley will be beaten. We are at the door of the church."

"Yes," the knight responded, then hesitated and asked, "What about the death of Lord St. Melens and the Arc Sword Lady..."

"Just leave it alone. It's a chaotic place. The cost of investigating it is too high, and there will be no profit after the investigation is completed. We don't have so much time to waste time on this matter now. Let's find a way to deal with the problem of wandering ghosts first. ," the Dedu Archbishop waved his hand, "That's it, go ahead."

"Yes, I understand," the knight said, bowed, and then exited the church.

As soon as he went out, a blond man dressed as a knight, but with more ordinary armor, immediately came up to him and asked anxiously: "Mr. Cerbery, is there any news about Lord St. Mellens?"

The knight glanced at the man and fell into silence.

Although the helmet covered his expression, the slightly lowered head still gave the man a bad premonition.

The man swallowed, and then spoke again: "You... well, please just say it. I'm mentally prepared."

Hearing this, the knight sighed, and then said: "Lord St. Mellens, she died..."

As soon as these words came out, the man on the side suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning, and he froze on the spot.

After a long while, he trembled and said, "No... it's impossible, right? Are you kidding me?"

"I am not someone who would joke about this kind of thing. Lord St. Mellens died while performing a mission in the Land of Chaos. At the same time, a 'Ming' from the Church of the Netherworld also died. The archbishop has decided to send someone to replace her. It’s your place, Mr. Yes, I hope you’ll save yourself,” the knight said, patted the man on the shoulder, and then left.

The blond knight was left alone, standing dejectedly in front of the church, kneeling down slowly.

Chapter 140: Oh, of course this is all thanks to you, the gang leader!

"thump"!

Lu Lin threw a sugar cube into the coffee.

Stir it together with a spoon, Lu Lin took a sip, smacked his lips, and commented: "Well, it feels like coffee."

"Uh..." The red-haired old gang leader sitting across the table immediately twitched his lips and said reluctantly, "Young man, just get used to drinking."

"It's not bad, actually I prefer drinking tea," Lu Lin said with a smile, "Next time, if you are free, you can come to my place and I will make tea for you myself."

"That's good," the old red-haired leader nodded, "but today, you should tell me what all this is about."

"This..." Hearing what the old leader said, Lu Lin's face suddenly became serious, "This matter is a long story."

"It's okay, just tell it slowly," said the elder of the Tianri Sect sitting next to him.

"Okay," Lu Lin nodded and said, "It's like this, I have a grudge with the Holy Sect, so they sent two people to fuck me, I found out, and then we fucked them, well, that's about it."

"Just like that?" The old leader was stunned, "That's it?"

"Yeah," Lu Lin nodded, "Yes."

"Is this your long story?" The old master of the Tianri Sect twitched his mouth.

"If I explain it in detail, it will be a long story," Lu Lin shrugged, "However, some details involve some things that I am not good at revealing. In addition, you should be mainly concerned about why those two people came here. To put it bluntly, they came for me."

After hearing Lu Lin's words, the two old men looked at each other.

They also heard that Lu Lin did not intend to tell them the whole story.

Think about it, it makes sense. Lu Lin has no subordinate relationship with them, so naturally he has no obligation to report to them in detail.

For the old gang leader, the "honorary city lord", Lu Lin only needs to explain why the two troublemakers came, which is actually enough.

As for whether he wants to drive Lu Lin out because of this matter, that is another matter.

Of course, although he has the power to expel Lu Lin, he can't really do so.

After all, the people who came to cause trouble are people from the Holy Church, and Lu Lin solved the trouble himself. If he still drives Lu Lin out of the city, this matter will definitely be used by the remaining gangs to make a fuss.

By then, I'm afraid that in the mouths of these people, he will become a coward who fears the power of the Holy Church, and the reputation of the entire Yanfeng Gang will probably be hit.

But if he said that he would stop asking, the old gang leader would still feel uneasy.

If he didn't figure out why the Holy Church was tracking Lu Lin, he wouldn't know whether the other party would send more troublesome people in the future. After all, the people who came today were already difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the old master, he would probably be panicked.

If the other party sent stronger thugs, if the old master was not there at that time, then the trouble would be really big.

The old gang leader was sorting out his words, thinking about what angle to ask Lu Lin for information.

Over there, Lu Lin was also sorting out his words.

The old gang had some intentions, and he also had some ideas in his mind.

First of all, he was definitely unwilling to leave this city.

After this battle, Lu Lin not only killed the tail of the Holy Church, made two allies with good strength, but also got an important puzzle piece that could complete the test of the Black Magic Sect, the material necessary for refining the Howling Demon Spirit - a living person with high-level strength.

Yes, this refers to no one else, but the guy dressed as a nun. Although that guy seems to have gone crazy, he is not dead now. At this moment, he should have been taken to his alchemy room by Si Li for "processing".

With her, Lu Lin can refine the Howling Demon Spirit. After extracting the raw materials that can be used to replace the Echo Violet from the Howling Demon Spirit, it is only a matter of time to complete the communication potion required by the Black Magic Sect.

Therefore, for Lu Lin now, the best situation next is to stay in this city, complete the potion with peace of mind, and then continue to brush the hundreds of intermediate alchemy required by his task, while also accumulating gold coins and resources for himself.

As the saying goes, it is good to take shelter under a big tree. If you want to stay safe in the local area, the best situation is naturally to be able to establish a relationship with the local power holder.

Moreover, he did not forget the mission that the White Witch had revealed.

She wanted a partner who could gain a foothold in the Land of Chaos.

And to gain a foothold, in addition to one's own strength, one naturally needs the support of various forces in the Land of Chaos.

Now, the highest authority of this independent city and the high-level officials of the Tianri Sect behind it are both here. If one can draw a cooperative relationship with these two, it would be great.

Whether it is long-term consideration or short-term consideration, it will be much easier for Lu Lin to make money and obtain intelligence here.

Of course, it is not easy to gain a relationship with such a big force as the Tianri Sect. If Lu Lin wants to find a way, he can only start with Jack Zhengyi.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin glanced at Jack Zhengyi, who was standing behind the old master without saying a word. He now knew the relationship between this person and the old master. If he used it well, Lu Lin might really be able to find a way to hold the thigh of the Tianri Sect.

But now, Lu Lin's primary consideration is how to get in touch with this old gang leader.

After all, now is a great opportunity.
