But since he could take the first path, why would he choose the second path?
As for the third path, it was to cooperate with the White Witch.
But this path was not so much for improving ability as for dealing with the Holy Church.
But even if he considered this path, the White Witch said that he was not qualified to participate in her arrangement before he became a high-level alchemist.
As a result, after going around in circles, Lu Lin actually had only one path in front of him.
That damn task system clearly stuck his neck. As long as he couldn't get the Nether Crystal, he basically couldn't think of continuing to improve his strength.
So, within two days, Lu Lin found Si Li again.
He was never a person who was willing to sit and wait for death. Although this matter sounded difficult, since there was no choice, and this matter was something that had ideas and could be planned, he had no reason not to try.
And when Si Li heard that Lu Lin was willing to consider this plan, she was also very excited.
Lu Lin always had a feeling that perhaps because of the previous method of dealing with the Nether Beach Walker, Si Li's expectations and evaluation of him might be a little higher than his actual strength.
However, this is not a bad thing.
Others' trust is a very difficult resource to obtain, and Lu Lin will not despise it.
After several days of discussion, and even after inviting Jack Zhengyi and his master to come once, Lu Lin and Si Li's plan was finally finalized.
First, they have to obtain the "Scorching Sun Assistance Order" of the Tianri Sect.
The so-called assistance order is a certificate issued by many forces in the chaotic land. It is essentially a more flexible mutual assistance mechanism.
As long as you hold the assistance order of the relevant force, you can apply to the force for support that meets the level of the assistance order when needed.
The assistance order of the Tianri Sect is divided into four levels: "Big Sun", "Scorching Sun", "Clear Sky" and "Drizzle". The "Big Sun Order" is the highest level, enough for the Tianri Sect to give its all-out support, but it is almost impossible to get it.
Throughout the long history of the Tianri Sect, there are only a few records of issuing the Big Sun Order.
The second is the "Scorching Sun Order", which can get the full support of a master-level elder of the Tianri Sect and all the adjustable power he controls.
Jack Zhengyi's master, the third elder of the Tianri Sect named Fumida Jialuo, promised them that as long as they could get the "Scorching Sun Order", he would mobilize his forces and help them destroy the Nether Sect in this plan.
As for the conditions for giving them the "Scorching Sun Order"...
"After all, you are Bang Luo's friends. Thank you for playing with him during this period," said the old master, "So, I won't make things difficult for you about the Scorching Sun Order. As long as you help me do one thing, I can give you a Scorching Sun Order."
"Excuse me, what is it specifically?" Lu Lin asked.
"Help me investigate a city," said the old master, "an independent city-state that claims to be the 'Pure Land of Bliss'."
Chapter 158 There are too many people, and the car is not big enough
The city that the old master asked Lu Lin and others to investigate is an independent city-state called "Kulanjilinzhongcheng".
When Lu Lin first heard the name, his first reaction was "Jilin? What Jilin?"
Looking back, he realized that it was not Jilin, but a "forest city" called "Kulanji".
This city-state is nominally a subordinate city-state of the Tianri Religion, but it seems to hide some secrets that the Tianri Religion does not know.
It claims to be the paradise of the chaotic land, and this is not bragging. According to the old master, the prosperity of this city is not much less than those wealthy cities in the empire.
It is conceivable how difficult it is to build such a city in the evil land of the chaotic land.
But the problem is that the Tianri Religion has not provided any support to this forest city, and this forest city has never asked the Tianri Religion for any resource delivery.
It used to be just an ordinary independent city-state, and it was not as prosperous as the Ken'ermier City where they are now because of its geographical conditions.
But more than a decade ago, this city-state suddenly changed.
Various magic facilities and magic puppets appeared out of thin air in the city. The construction of the city-state changed dramatically in a blink of an eye, and the city size and population began to rise.
As for this change, the explanation of this forest city is that they had some adventures and obtained some precious knowledge and treasures. Not only that, they also found a magic vein under the city.
They relied on these and the wise command of their leading gang to achieve today's achievements.
They claimed that this "Pure Land of Bliss" was created by all the residents in their city through hard work and efforts.
As for this statement, the old master's evaluation is.
Bullshit.
Hearing such words from such a respected old man, Lu Lin was shocked to a certain extent.
But Jack Zhengyi was very calm, as if he had long been accustomed to it.
In short, the old master said that there is absolutely no so-called magic vein under this forest city.
Even if there is, it is impossible to make their city have such a dramatic change with just a magic vein.
Therefore, the Tianri Cult suspected that there must be other forces behind them.
But they had no relevant evidence, and turning against them directly might force the other party to defect.
After all, this forest city is actually an independent city-state in an area where the influence of the Tianri Religion is weak. If it directly rebels, the Tianri Religion seems to have no good solution.
Of course, if it really comes to that, the Tianri Religion will not let them have an easy time.
After all, a lose-lose situation is not what the Tianri Religion wants to see, so for them, the most hopeful thing at present is to find out the real reason why the other party has prospered to this point, as well as the true face and purpose of the forces behind it.
For this reason, the Tianri Religion has investigated many times.
But obviously, the other party does not intend to let the Tianri Religion get what it wants easily.
Every time the Tianri Religion sends people, they will warmly entertain the Tianri Religion's envoys with the highest standards of hospitality.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this hospitality is also the most stringent monitoring. They will not do anything to the people of the Tianri Religion, but they do not intend to let the people of the Tianri Religion do anything.
For this attitude of theirs, the Tianri Religion is actually quite a headache.
Don't hit a smiling person. If you hit him, he will really turn against you.
Therefore, the Tianri Sect had no choice but to entrust people outside the sect to help investigate.
But so far, they have sent more than a dozen investigation teams, and none of them has successfully brought back intelligence.
Some died, some ran away, and some simply disappeared. It is not known whether they were bribed or even left their bodies.
Among these teams sent, there is even a luxurious team composed of high-level warriors and high-level magic professions.
When the old master said this, Lu Lin finally understood why this task was worth a "Liyang Order".
This reward was clearly earned by the deaths of the teams that went to investigate in front.
Even until now, no one can be sure how dangerous this task is.
"However, you don't have to be too nervous," said the old master. "I value your abilities, and my goal is to thoroughly understand the secrets they hide, rather than letting you die."
"So this time, I will go with you. I will investigate openly to attract their attention, while you will act in secret."
"My traitor will act with you. Of course, I'll leave it to you to cover up his identity."
"If you encounter a problem that you can't solve, I also have a way to help you get out of it."
For this proposal, Lu Lin naturally agreed.
Originally, he had something to ask of the other party, and the exchange conditions offered by the other party were reasonable, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.
When he heard that Lu Lin agreed, the old master was relieved.
The matter of investigating Linzhong City has been handed over to him for a long time, but there has been no result.
The higher-ups have been urging him, and he is annoyed and wants to finish this matter as soon as possible, but since the last time the luxurious investigation team organized disappeared, he has never found another suitable candidate to handle this matter.
In addition, the incident of Jack Zhengyi running away later forced him to put the matter aside.
When Lu Lin found him today, he suddenly remembered this matter. As a result, after thinking carefully, Lu Lin and his group seemed to be the perfect choice.
They have strength and brains, and they are all from the Black Magic School. At first glance, they have nothing to do with the Tianri Church, and they can also take Jack Zhengyi with them.
As for a piece of Lieyang Order.
Just give it, anyway, it is mainly a conflict between the Night Elves and the Nether Church, and they just need to help.
The opponent is still the power of the Holy Church. The Tianri Church has always been very welcome to things like causing trouble for the Holy Church.
After the matter was finalized, the two sides talked about many details and talked until the evening.
Starting from the next day, Lu Lin's shop stopped accepting orders and focused all his time on completing the commissions that had been accepted.
At the same time, Lan Jie also began to purchase and stockpile daily necessities to prepare for leaving the city.
Since there are now five people living in Lu Lin's earth dragon, and there is also Tie Zhu, a glutton, they need to store more food and drink.
However, this brings up another problem, that is, there is not enough space to store things.
Fortunately, Si Li will also go with them, and she specially vacated a room for them to help them store supplies.
After this incident, Lu Lin also secretly decided that when he saves some money next time, he must buy another earth dragon, or simply change to a large earth dragon.
A week later, at the city gate.
Seeing the snail carrying the wizard tower crawling out of the city gate at a speed that looks slow but seems to be quite fast, Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Zheng, what did your master say?" Lu Lin turned his head and looked at Jack Zhengyi on the side.
"He asked us to go first, and they will leave in a few days," Jack Zhengyi said, "We will stay in the city for a few days, and when they arrive, we will start to move."
"Well... OK," Lu Lin nodded, patted Lan Jie's shoulder who was sitting in the old place on the balcony, and said, "Lan Jie, let's go."
"Okay," Lan Jie agreed, put down the guide rod, and the earth dragon also moved.
"Then now..." Lu Lin looked at Jack Zhengyi, looked him up and down, and said, "Okay, next, it's time to change your clothes."
Chapter 159 There is a kind of beauty that can stop children from crying at night
"Is this... me?"
Jack Zhengyi looked at himself in the mirror, with an unbelievable look on his face.
At this moment, he has changed into the clothes that Lu Lin prepared for him.
Originally, he thought that Lu Lin's so-called cross-dressing was to put a hat on him to cover his bald head, and then change into a relatively inconspicuous set of clothes, so that he could dress as low-key as possible.
But the result was far beyond his expectations.
Instead of preparing a hat for him, Lu Lin pasted a large tattoo-like pattern on his bald head, making his bald head more eye-catching than before.
Not only that, Lu Lin also pinned many metal ear clips on his ears and made a pair of glasses with red translucent crystals and wore them on his face.
As for his neck, a large gold-plated necklace was also hung on it.
As for the wrists, it was even more exaggerated. There were several gold chains, bracelets decorated with gems, bracelets made of strange stones with holes, and chains carved with some fruit cores, all hanging on his right wrist.
The left wrist was tied with a black cloth, and the outermost layer of the black cloth was painted with a pale skull.
And his clothes.
He only had a black vest on his upper body, the corners were made to look rough, and there were two cuts on his body.
On his exposed arms, Lu Lin also pasted a lot of things that looked like tattoos on him.
And on his waist, there was a coat tied.
He wanted to take off the coat and wear it, but Lu Lin didn't let him, saying that the coat could only be tied around the waist, and it had to be tied to create a sense of layering.
Then on his waist, Lu Lin hung a black machete with a skull pattern on it.
As for the pants, they were old leather pants, with skull elements on the left leg, and the right leg was rolled up by Lu Lin, revealing half of his calf.
Finally, his shoes were also replaced with a pair of plain flip-flops.
This image.
How to say it.
There is a kind of beauty that can stop children from crying at night.
It feels like he will pull out the machete from his waist and chop people if he disagrees with someone.
And that's all.
Lu Lin also dressed Tie Zhu in a similar style. Now the two of them stood in front of the mirror together, looking like a pair of gang leaders.
"How about it? When others see you two like this, they won't think you are members of the Tianri Cult, right?" Lu Lin stood aside with a little smugness on his face, obviously very satisfied with his clothing combination.
This trick was learned from the tailor shop owner who modified his alchemy robe. Instead of simply covering up the characteristics, it is better to use stronger characteristics to directly cover up the characteristics you want to cover up.
