Seeing Lan Zhao immersed in the new training, Shuang Tu recalled another magical video and watched it over and over again.
What is in the image is the whole process of the battle between the eight qi and the colorful eyes.
Shuang Tu fixed the magic image in the last scene, frowned slightly, and became more careful and focused.
After the smoke and dust dispersed, giant morning glory stood around Master Caijing, constantly spraying colorful potions. And on the ground where the morning glory took root, the surface cracked, revealing an underground space.
Shuangtu knows the colorful morning glory, and also knows the efficacy of the mixed color potion.
"The total cost of each giant morning glory is at least 100 gold, and the maintenance cost is about one gold per day."
"There are more than a dozen Cai Jing flowers planted here, and there should be more underground."
"After he came to Huaqun Island, he moved around in many places on the island. It took more than a month to settle in the south of the island. Since then, he has lived in seclusion and claimed to be conducting alchemy experiments."
"But even an alchemy room wouldn't plant so many giant morning glory."
"Spending such a huge price on defense...it seems that my previous prediction was correct. Cai Jing has discovered that inheritance and has been secretly developing it."
Shuang Tu lurked on Hua Qu Island earlier than Cai Jing arrived on the island.
Although Cai Jing was expelled from the Alchemy Guild, as the most famous counterfeiter in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, every move he makes attracts attention.
Caijing was very good at disguising himself. In order to deceive others, he even recruited a local young man to act as his potion apprentice.
However, he could not deceive the intelligence organization where Shuangtu worked. Through clues, the organization had already guessed that Cai Jing had been exploring the inheritance of Huaqu Island.
This inheritance comes from a legendary druid. It was the druid who transformed the uninhabited island and gave rise to today's Flower Skirt Island.
Getting close to Caijing and trying to take away this inheritance is Shuang Tu's biggest task.
Therefore, Shuang Tu used the Eight Qi this time to test out Cai Jing's real identity, and also killed Sang Shu's son.
The latter is Cai Jing’s only apprentice on Huaqu Island!
"The next step is to wait for Cai Jing to recruit new apprentices." Shuang Tu's eyes flashed with a faint light.
He had been preparing for this moment for a long time.
As the owner of the largest medical clinic on Huaqu Island, Shuangtu has the largest number of druid apprentices and mage apprentices under his command.
This is the racial advantage of elves.
Their magical talents are much more popular than those of humans, dwarves, etc.
According to Shuang Tu's calculations, Caijing will not recruit silver-level apprentices. This level already poses a certain threat to gold-level apprentices.
As for the number of bronze-level and black-iron-level apprentices, Shuangtu's subordinates have the most. Not only that, he also secretly cultivated and supported several outstanding seeds.
Shuang Tu looked towards the south of the island and murmured: "If there is no opportunity, create an opportunity. I hope there will be good progress this time."
at the same time.
"The opportunity has been given to you. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you. Go down." Caijing told Sang Shu the last words.
"Yes." Sang Shu excused himself, "I will definitely take care of this matter!"
Among all the silver-level people in Huaqu Island, his relationship with Cai Jing is the closest.
The main reason for this is that his son was selected by Cai Jing to serve as the latter's potion apprentice for a period of time.
During this period, Sang Shu also purchased a large amount of alchemy materials and magic plant seeds for Cai Jing.
Because he was backed by the Gold Level, he gradually became the highest-status Silver Level manager on Huaqun Island.
But now, his son is dead!
He himself was almost killed by Ba Qi, if Cai Jing hadn't taken action.
He watched the battle between Cai Jing and Ba Qi. Ba Qi was not defeated, and finally gave up with Cai Jing. This result disappointed Sang Shu, but as a Silver-level person, he could only bear in mind hatred.
When Caijing called him, he dragged his injured body and immediately accepted Caijing's new order.
His son is dead and his enemy is in front of him, but he is unable to take revenge.
He still had to complete the task assigned by Cai Jing to recruit a new potion apprentice for him.
"This time, Master Caijing will recruit 20 apprentices. 20... This is still the minimum standard. According to Master Caijing, the more potion apprentices, the better!"
Sang Shu knew that this time he could not complete the task by himself.
So, he decided to contact other managers first.
The first thing to bear the brunt is to master Shuang Tu, the largest medical clinic on Huaqu Island.
"There are 20 potion apprentices, the more the better?" After Shuangtu and Sangshu met, they learned the news and suddenly looked embarrassed.
Sang Shu said: "On Huaqun Island, only Shuangtu has the most Druid apprentices and mage apprentices here. In view of our many years of friendship, please be sure to do this favor for me."
Sang Shu thought Shuang Tu was unhappy.
In his opinion, if these apprentices under Shuangtu were abducted by Master Caijing, they would basically not return to the hospital to work again.
As everyone knows, Shuang Tu’s true inner emotions are very surprising.
He originally thought that Master Caijing would recruit only one apprentice, or at most two or three.
"I didn't expect so many people to be recruited at once... It seems that Cai Jing is getting anxious." Shuang Tu thought for a while and figured out the reason.
Cai Jing used to secretly explore the inheritance, but after the battle with the Eight Qi not long ago, he felt that he had been exposed, so he began to race against time to capture the inheritance land as soon as possible.
Wanting to understand this, Shuangtu did not agree directly, but shook his head and refused: "Every apprentice here has been strictly tested and trained by me for a long time. The operation of the entire medical center is indispensable for them. I will not agree.
This cooperation will do me no harm at all.”
Sang Shu explained quickly.
Shuang Tu didn't let go at first, but after Sang Shu continued to press harder, his tone relaxed.
Sang Shu was in high spirits, kept up his efforts, and bargained with Shuang Tu.
Sang Shu knew that if he took off the piece of Shuang Tu, more than half of the task would be completed!
Half an hour later, Sang Shu and Shuang Tu reached an agreement. Although he paid a huge price, he finally achieved the goal of his trip.
Sang Shu left the hospital with joy.
Shuangtu was also happy in his heart. Sang Shu took the initiative to come to discuss the matter, which was exactly what he wanted: "This time, the progress of the task is really not small."
Zidi, who is far away in Blood City, has also made progress in researching the fragments of the alchemy puppet.
These alchemy puppet fragments and fragments come from the battle in Cold Wind Valley.
After the ambush failed, the gold-level fighter and the light mage took the initiative to retreat, leaving many alchemy puppets behind to stop the enemy.
After these puppets were destroyed, the remaining fragments were collected by Zidi.
Zidi came to Blood City, first took over the store, and then reached a cooperation with the Ax Gang. After that, she observed the market and researched the trophies.
"This is the spell model of freezing..." Zidi held a small ball in her hand.
The bead is ice blue and translucent, and from the outside you can see many fine magic runes shining shimmeringly.
"It's hard to imagine what kind of alchemy technology can concentrate the freezing spell model in such a small place." Zidi, who has little alchemy skills, sighed sincerely.
"This is the culprit that caused our greatest casualties!"
The moment the alchemy puppet is destroyed, it will often self-destruct, instantly freezing enemies who can't dodge into ice.
Even breaking the ice cubes would not help, because they were frozen to death the moment the explosion occurred.
As for the means of resurrection, Zidi doesn't have any.
The most common resurrection spell can only be cast by a cleric at the bishop level.
"Fortunately, we bought the Little Thunder God's Flying Hammer and relied on its special attack effects to prevent all the alchemy puppets from exploding. Otherwise, the team's casualties would have been much heavier."
"If I'm right, this should be a modified version of the Explosive Ice Bead." Zidi's eyes flashed.
Exploding Ice Beads are a throwing weapon about the size of an adult's fist. They can create explosions and instantly freeze and kill enemies within a certain range.
Although the ball in Zidi's hand is about the size of a baby's fist, there are too many similarities between the two.
Zidi also learned more and more about the situation in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom as time went by.
She knew that almost all of the military alchemy techniques of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom were rooted in frost-based spells.
The root of ice bead explosion is freezing technique.
"The thin ice high wall shield that Fujituro used in the heroic duel was developed from the ice wall technique."
"There is also the ice-edge bayonet commonly installed in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom. It is an alchemical weapon developed based on the ice spear technique. In normal times, it can be used as a spear point or a dagger for stabbing. In critical moments, it can also be fired and stabbed.
After hitting the target, it can often create penetrating wounds."
Exploding ice beads, thin ice shields, and ice-edge bayonets are all features of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom's army equipment.
"So, this small explosive ice bead in my hand is actually a military product? Is it developed based on the explosive ice bead and specially adapted to the alchemy puppet?" Zidi couldn't help but guess.
"Could the ones who ambushed us be members of the military?"
Zidi shook her head slightly, denying this guess.
Not only do the Dragon and Lion Mercenary Group and the Ice Sculpture Kingdom’s military have no conflict, but they also cooperate.
The Satoma family currently cooperating with them controls the Kingdom's second navy.
"If it is not the military, then the most likely thing is that the enemy obtained this kind of military products in some way."
"Maybe some black markets are the way?" Zidi guessed secretly.
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Group was able to obtain "decommissioned warships" from the kingdom's black market with the help of the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord's connections, so why can't others obtain such small exploding ice beads?
"There is another possibility, that is, this small explosive ice bead is a private improvement." Zidi's thoughts were flooded.
"It needs investigation..."
For her, the best result is that there is no such product on the market, and the small ice-exploding beads are a personal improvement product.
In this way, this clue will be very valuable.
If there is a chance in the future, Zidi and others can follow the clues and find out the true identity of the enemy who ambushed them.
But if a large number of these small explosive ice beads are already circulating on the black market, then the value of this clue will be very little.
