Barack was startled as soon as he stepped into the Atomic Research Institute. Next to Lucien squatted a huge monster, a large lizard covered with transparent and beautiful scales?
"Dragon?" It didn't take a few seconds for Barack to recognize the most famous magical creature. As a high-level magician, he quickly thought of the dragon student of the Storm Lord, so he removed the
alert.
Avris raised his head, snorted arrogantly, and ignored Barack.
Lucien saw that Alfred, who had just flattered and flattered like a puppy, suddenly became reserved and arrogant, and shook his head in amusement: "Barack, are there any preliminary investigation results?"
"According to the preliminary investigation, the magicians who gave the cursed items were not suspicious. They all bought the gifts at 'Loban's Shop'. After selling this batch of goods, 'Loban's Shop'
The door has not been opened. I don’t know whether the boss ‘Loban’ is dead or alive, but he has completely ruled out the possibility of misuse of special materials to make gifts.” Barack took out the record book and formally informed “Commissioner Evans” of the preliminary investigation.
.
Although high-level magicians cannot arbitrarily invade the brain, read memories, and weave memories like the undead masters, and can only extract the most impressive part of the opponent's memories, this does not prevent them from using dream casting and other illusions. Medium and low-level magicians
The answer comes out through oral interrogation.
"I don't know whether he is dead or alive? That is to say, I don't know whether 'Loban' was used and silenced, or whether he escaped early as the mastermind..." Lucien preferred the latter, otherwise some aspects of the entire assassination process would have to be blocked.
Relying on luck does not meet the premise of careful planning.
Barack turned the page in the record book and confirmed Lucien's idea: "It is initially determined that Loban was completely involved in the whole process, because according to the memories of those magicians, they all went to this alchemy shop that they frequented.
I was encouraged to work in the Atomic Research Institute when I was buying commonly used medicines, so I followed Loban’s advice and took advantage of the opportunity to discover electrons and open the door to the microscopic world. I came to congratulate you and build a good relationship. As for the small gifts, I will definitely take them with you.
Bought based on Loban’s recommendation.”
The custom of the Parliament and the Kingdom of Holm is not to accept gifts, but you can bring some small gifts when you visit.
"Loban is indeed very suspicious, and his purpose is very clear. Do you have any information about him?" Lucien held his right elbow with his left hand and rubbed his chin with his right hand, waiting for more information.
Next to him, Alfred gradually became too lazy to keep up his appearance and slowly lay down on the ground. His eyes seemed to open and close, and he almost fell asleep.
Barack once again turned over a page of records: "Loban, a native of Lentat in the Kingdom of Holm, has lived here since his grandfather. He was discovered to have magical talent when he was twelve years old and was sent to the 'Alinge' magic school for training.
He graduated with relatively good grades and was successfully promoted to an official magician four years later. He is good at light and darkness, astrology, elements and alchemical magic. Not long after he became an intermediate magician, his soul was seriously damaged and 'mutilated' during an adventure.
There was no way to improve his magic level, and he was not good at arcane research, so he opened a small alchemy shop in Arlinge."
"He is withdrawn and silent, single and has no children. His parents have passed away. He has basically no contact with relatives and has few friends. However, according to the investigation, Loban's character has improved in the past five years and his mood has become relatively peaceful. He disappeared two days ago
, may have escaped early, there are currently no clues, the Department of Punishment is mobilizing high-level magicians who are good at astrology to make prophecies. I initially suspect that he was developed into the Night Watch team."
"Is there no other direction of investigation?" Lucien frowned slightly. As soon as Loban disappeared, the whole thing seemed to be over?
Barack maintained a meticulous and solemn attitude: "We are still investigating where Loban purchased or obtained the special materials. We may be able to catch more spies."
"Although this assassination is over, the Affairs Committee is still worried about your safety, Commissioner Evans, so I will serve as your bodyguard for three months to get through the most dangerous period. When I was in Arlinge
, you can move freely without considering me, I am only responsible for checking the environment and items, but if you, Commissioner Evans, want to leave Arlinge, it is best to tell me your itinerary, and I will report it to the Affairs Committee and follow the protection."
"Okay." Lucien nodded gently. The attitude of the committee was quite good.
While Barack was checking other items in the office, Alfred stood up suddenly and looked at Lucien with his translucent amber pupils: "I'm better than him! I can also be a guard! As long as you give me a
With a beautiful Holm crown ring, I can sign a ten-year prostitution contract! The contract I signed last time has been completed, so don’t worry about other issues, just sign me, boss!"
"I remember you once said that if I give you a Holm crown ring, you can sign a one-hundred-year contract to sell yourself." Lucien teased it in a funny way.
Avris was stunned and rolled his amber eyes: "Really? That must be because I just woke up! Boss, you will soon have several Holm crown rings, as well as the Immortal Throne Talisman, Ice and Snow Medal, Silver
Moon medal..." As he spoke, suspicious liquid flowed out of the corner of his mouth, and he quickly wiped it with his paw, "Take one and hire me, a genius who can fight, play, make experimental materials, and be a chef.
Isn’t the dragon a good deal? I know a lot!”
"This is all honor, it is my own honor, how can I use it to hire you?" Lucien said "sincerely", "And they always have high-level magic, which is very useful to me. It is the safest to wear it on my body.
.”
"Can they be as powerful as me? I know a lot of high-level magic, and I can also fight hand-to-hand!" Afris promoted himself vigorously, "Especially the magic in the mind, spirit, and soul fields, I am good at it!"
"No, this is an honor. Only when I become an archmage or a legendary magician, and these reward items only have collection value, can I consider lending them to you for two to three hundred years to play with." Lucien tempted with a "blank check"
.
Two or three hundred years? Avris's eyes lit up. As a little dragon that was only a few decades old, he felt that he already owned it, and he could borrow it again after borrowing it. Anyway, he had the item in his hand!
It coughed and pretended to be serious: "Even if you can become the Archmage, it will be many years later. This kind of promise has no value at all. Am I like such a stupid dragon?"
This guy has learned all Fernando's idioms.
"I didn't hire you for nothing, I will pay you every month." Lucien is now quite wealthy. The cost of experimental materials and spell-casting exercises can be borne by the Atomic Research Institute, and Jin Gaola's monthly dividends are also close to
Three thousand can completely meet your needs for buying potions, exchanging magic, and borrowing books. It is even more than enough.
At the same time, after becoming a high-level arcanist, Lucien can receive a subsidy from the council for a total of 380 arcane points, and an additional 300 for elemental will, plus 1,500 per month from the arcane review committee.
The arcane points are comparable to most high-level magicians.
Moreover, Lucien is about to win many "grand prizes" and there is no need to refine or purchase magic items for the time being. Therefore, even if he hires a dragon, he can save money for the preparation of future high-level rituals and the construction of the magic tower.
money.
"I'm very expensive." Afris emphasized, then stretched out his bright red tongue and licked the back of Lucien's hand with moderate force, "Boss, how much are you prepared to pay?"
"Two thousand gold thalers a month. When I don't go out and I don't need you to make experimental materials, you have absolute freedom and can continue to earn other people's shiny gold coins." Lucien's tone was full of temptation.
"What other things can you do? When you become an Archmage or a Legendary Magician, can you also borrow your Holm Crown Ring, Immortal Throne, Silver Moon Medal, and Ice and Snow Medal for 'play'?" Avris's translucent eyes
Shining brightly, he suddenly pulled out a piece of parchment from under his belly:
"Boss, let's sign it for a hundred years!"
Lucien was very "satisfied". Two thousand gold talers could hire a giant dragon with maybe a seventh-level illusion level. It was such a bargain! So he asked casually: "Afris, can you use arcane points as salary?"
"?" This is mainly because Afris, as a dragon, would definitely prefer shiny coins, gems, etc.
"Arcane points? Of course there is no problem! I can buy the gems and crystals I like!" Avris took out a badge with seven black rings from his belly like magic, and looked at the road with a little doubt.
Sean, "Don't you like arcane points that are easy to trade and easy to carry?"
You are indeed a dragon that has escaped from vulgar taste. Lucien felt that he was "despised".
After signing the "hundred-year contract" in duplicate, Afris licked the parchment with his tongue, carefully and happily folded it up, stuffed it under his belly, and then said in a clear and childish voice: "Boss, I'll go first.
Completed the last contract."
"Aren't you done already?" Lucien looked helplessly as Afris patted his butt and prepared to leave.
"Come on, come on, eh, five days, five days at most!" Afris blinked, waved his paw, and ran away without a trace.
Lucien rubbed his chin and stood there thoughtfully.
…………
Three days later.
Lucien received a notice from the Will of the Elements and asked him to go to the Royal Magic Tower of Holm for a meeting to discuss the Crown Prize. At the same time, he was given a method of transferring to the demiplane with the help of Lord Hathaway.
"Commissioner Evans, in order to ensure your safety, I must accompany you." Barack adhered to his duties.
Lucien had no objection, nodded, and took Barack into the magic tower of the Will of Elements branch in Arlinge, reached the top floor, and activated the corresponding magic circle.
The dim light flickered and after severe dizziness, Lucien and Barack appeared on a land that seemed to be surrounded by a deep starry sky. The shining stars seemed to be dyed with various colors, just like different types of elements.
This land has undulating mountains, green, yellow, red, and gold, and is full of life from many elements.
Not far away, there is a Tower of Babel that stretches into the starry sky, with countless magic runes flowing on it. It is the magic tower of Hathaway, the "Dominator of Elements".
Without wasting time admiring the scenery of the demiplane, Lucien led Barack around to the plane magic circle on the other side of the magic tower, recited a spell, stimulated the light, and the two of them quickly disappeared.
Lentat, on the top of the Royal Magic Tower of Holm, Lucien and Barack appear. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
