Chapter 40 Martin’s Gift
Black Rock City, the inner room of the Witt House store.
A bloated man was lying on a gorgeous lounge chair covered in colorful leopard skin.
He had curly brown hair, was clean shaven, and had skin as white as a woman's. A large silk robe was casually covering his body.
Around him, there were six women dressing him. Two are responsible for rubbing the shoulders, and the other two squat down and rub the legs. One of the other two women is responsible for feeding the grapes, and the other is responsible for catching the pits he spits out.
Lexa William, the deputy store manager of Witt House, stood in front of the man with his head bowed and his expression respectful.
"You mean, your clerk, along with the two mercenaries, two are dead and one is missing?" The man glared at him sideways, the fat on his face trembling as he spoke.
"Yes, Baron Adair." Lexa lowered his head and said softly: "The clerk Oliver and the Emerald Knight were found dead in Balk Town. The shadow assassin known as the Killing Blade also disappeared. "
Who killed the clerk?" Baron Adair asked.
Rexxar replied: "There are no witnesses. Our people went over to check and found traces of shadow magic on the Emerald Knight. But Lord Saldin clearly used frost element magic. The assassin was also very suspicious, he His strength is at the level of a trainee magician. According to the intelligence, Lord Sardin is just a new magician, and there is no way he could miss." Baron Adair shook his
head impatiently and said, "Don't tell me the analysis. Process, tell me the results of the analysis!"
"Yes." Seeing the man's anger, Lexa said immediately: "There are two possibilities now."
"One is that Lord Saldin has an assistant who is proficient in shadow magic. Together they Kill all three people."
"There is also an internal conflict between two mercenaries, and the killing blade kills the Emerald Knight and Oliver together. After all, the remaining shadow magic was found on the Emerald Knight." "Yeah
" Baron Adair nodded, spitting the core into a woman's face in a playful manner, and asked: "Which one do you prefer?"
The woman was timid, the core stuck to her face, and she didn't even dare to wipe it off. wipe.
Lexa pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, since there is no extra evidence now. I don't know whether the killing blade entered the manor that day. I can't make a judgment. Now I can only consider the worst result. That is Lord Saldin has a helper."
After saying this, he lowered his head, waiting for Baron Adair's reaction.
But Baron Adair grabbed a few grapes and stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them for a long time, and then said vaguely: "I remember that day in Volo City, you said you wanted to reassure me. Now that things are done like this, How will it end?"
Cold sweat broke out on Rexxa's forehead, his legs weakened, and he knelt down in the tunnel: "I didn't expect Lord Saldin to be so lucky." "
Is it luck?" Baron Adair said coldly. He snorted and said, "It's all because your information is not clear at all. Do you think that just because you are a small lord, you can do whatever you want?" "My subordinates have realized their mistake
." Rexxar nodded quickly and said, "Sir, What to do next? Continue to send people to assassinate?"
"Fart!" Adair said angrily: "Can you use your brain? He has now hooked up with that old dog mage Martin. If he dies inexplicably, Now, old Martin still has to chase us."
"Hasn't Martin been dealt with by the people above with a single order? Moreover, the two of them are not relatives, so their relationship should not be very close." Lake Sa said.
"Although he is gone, he still has his influence in the city hall. For this small business, there is no need to get into trouble with this old guy. Listen, let Lord Sardin go for the time being, but keep an eye on him at all times. Touch. When the right opportunity comes, take action. Alchemists who disobey us are not allowed to exist in the Volo Valley." Baron Adair said coldly.
"My lord, what is the right opportunity?" Lexa asked cautiously.
"Does this need teaching?" Baron Adair looked angry, picked up the bowl of grapes and threw it directly into Lexa's face, then waved his hand and said: "You first keep an eye on him, and after you get enough information, Wait for my order. Now, get out of here. I get annoyed when I see you. I can't even do such a small thing." "
Yes, yes. I'll stand down right now."
Lexa covered his head and was bleeding. With a face full of anger, he ran away in a hurry, but he was secretly happy in his heart. Fortunately, there was a bowl nearby for the Baron to vent his anger, otherwise he might have been punished.
It’s just that this Lord Saldin is really hateful. Can't we cooperate well and die? Now he was scolded by Baron Adair.
'The more fiercely you resist, the more likely you are to die! ' Lexa wiped the blood from her face and thought bitterly.
"Come on, come on, put all these in this warehouse."
In the Saldin Manor, Barron directed the people from Firefox Trading Company to unload the items sent by Martin into the warehouse.
Luo Mo looked at the dazzling array of things, including various medicinal materials, various spell-casting materials, ores and gems.
There are even a few alchemy and inscription tomes.
He felt happy.
The value of these things is conservatively estimated to be around 1,000 gold coins. Martin gave it to himself like this.
After the people from Firefox Trading Company are unloaded into the warehouse, Luomo will instruct his knights to put the more valuable items into the secret room and alchemy studio.
This will be safer.
Among the things sent, some of the materials were the first time Luo Mo had seen them, and some could not even be named.
Seeing these things, he felt for the first time that his alchemy knowledge was so lacking.
You have to quickly improve your alchemy knowledge and turn these things into strength or gold coins.
After obtaining sufficient raw materials, Romo started learning alchemy again.
Of course, the improvement of shadow magic is also quite necessary. Lomo evenly distributes time between the two and improves them together.
Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was the end of May.
In the alchemy studio, Luo Mo was wearing two layers of cotton-padded clothes and a layer of plate armor.
A special iron mask completely protects his head, and the goggles are also thickened.
This was his first time making an alchemy stone, which contained some high-hardness source material ingots and magic iron ore. You must be careful and never take it lightly.
This alchemy stone is called the potion-enhancing alchemy stone. When held in the mouth, the effect of the potion can be doubled.
The blueprint was written in a booklet provided by Martin, and the materials used to make it alone were worth 20 gold coins.
After trying for three days and wasting two batches of materials, Lomo finally reached the critical stage of completion today.
There was a "boom", and as Luomo lit the fire, a thick black smoke rose from the crucible.
Luomo immediately did a back roll and hid behind a cabinet.
After a long time, the black smoke gradually dissipated. Inside the crucible, a black gem the size of a tooth appeared, looking crystal clear and glowing with color.
"It's done!" Luo Mo immediately clenched his fists with both hands, looking excited.
At the same time, several lines of information appeared in my mind:
[Alchemy experience value + 4]
[Potion enhanced alchemy stone: Level 1 (2/1000)]
[Alchemy promotion: Level 1 Alchemist]
[Talent obtained: Weekly comprehension A new drawing】
Learn a new drawing every week?
Seeing this information, Luo Mo was stunned for a moment.
Skill panel, you always give me some new surprises!
