There were sparse morning stars twinkling in the dark sky, and the dawn was still sinking below the horizon.
Colin, however, went out early and was already in the Zhenzhihui laboratory.
The miraculous changes forced him to invest more time in transforming the ice element.
From the dark morning to the dark night, most of the time, apart from meditating and sleeping, he would study the plan to cure the miracle.
He didn't want his past efforts to go to waste, nor did he want to miss the remaining 400,000 magic stones at his fingertips.
…
Yin Xiduo closed the thick black iron door of the basement, opened the double protective witch formation, carefully checked whether the witch formation was normal, and turned around to go out.
Walking out of the door, he looked around cautiously.
Yin Xiduo's small courtyard is located in a remote location, deep in the neighborhood. There is an alley outside the door and it is not facing the street. On weekdays, few people come here.
However, at this moment, Yin Xiduo's peripheral vision clearly saw several looming figures wearing ordinary witch robes at the end of the alley.
He straightened his collar and didn't pay much attention.
Yin Xiduo knew that most of those people had ulterior motives, but he didn't think it was aimed at him.
——This situation has been going on for a long time.
After the lightning-fast Operation Crimson, the nine wizarding cities did not usher in peace as imagined.
Even while staying in the basement, Yin Xiduo could still feel the movement of the wizards from the law enforcement team flying through the air from time to time.
The impact of losing a large area of the sea has slowly spread to the Wizarding City until today.
The first to feel it were the wandering wizards, who were the first to notice that prices in the city began to rise.
The increase was only a small amount at first, but even so, these small increases immediately put those wizards who could only maintain a balance of expenses into bankruptcy.
Not to mention that the rate of increase continues to increase.
A large number of wizards discovered that, seemingly overnight, they suddenly could no longer afford to continue living in Neustadt.
For the helpless wandering wizards, they either have to choose to leave the city of Neustadt, or they have to open up new sources of income to increase their income.
However, after all, only a few wizards can do open source... and even fewer wizards can do it through normal channels...
Yin Xiduo quickly walked out along the alley, then stopped a public carriage and sped towards Tongqiangwei Street.
Sitting on the cushions was not that comfortable, but the cushions were somewhat accustomed to him. Yin Xiduo couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He couldn't remember how many years he had not ridden a public carriage.
It seems to be after the first level of advancement? It seems to be after the first level of intermediate level?
Yin Xi shook his head... He is now a second-level wizard.
Approaching Tongqiangwei Street, Yin Xiduo took out a few ordinary-looking witchcraft tools from the storage ring.
Their energy fluctuations are generally not strong, the highest one is only at the first level, and their styles are the most common on the market.
This is extra income brought to him by some blind thieves.
Putting away these ordinary objects, Yin Xiduo rubbed his hands and escaped from his chest. A silver necklace, shaped like a swan, with eyes made of black expensive crystals.
Caressing the swan necklace, Yin Xiduo's face clearly flashed with a hint of physical pain.
"Uu——!"
The public carriage slowly stopped.
"Sir, we have arrived at Tongqiangwei Street."
Yin Xiduo put away the necklace, opened the car door and walked slowly down, finally entering a simple-looking business store.
Half an hour later, Yin Xiduo walked out of the store and quickly went to a hidden house in the street next to him.
"Has the goods I asked for arrived?" Yin Xiduo, in disguise, walked in and said to the wizard in front of him.
"Here we are." The fat wizard in front of him smiled, turned over his hand and took out an ice ball that exuded cold air.
"Yes." Yin Xiduo nodded, handed over the magic stone with one hand, and prepared to take the ice ball with the other hand.
"Your Excellency, wait a moment." The fat wizard did not take the magic stone. Instead, he retracted the hand holding the hockey puck, paused and said to him: "This time the goods will cost more."
"What do you mean?" Yin Xiduo frowned.
This fat wizard is a merchant he found who can supply frost materials steadily. Counting this time, this is the third time he has come here to buy frost materials.
The prices were stable the previous two times, but this time...
"You don't know something." The fat wizard sighed and said sadly: "The price of everything is rising, and my purchase is no exception. If I still sell it to you at the original price, then I will only lose money. I hope you understand.
.”
Yin Xiduo frowned, and after a while he asked in a low voice: "How much should I add?"
The fat wizard smiled and said, "Not much, just ten thousand magic stones."
The room fell silent for a long time before Yin Xiduo said slowly:
"Can."
By the time Yin Xiduo left the hidden hut, the swan necklace in his hand and the magic stones exchanged for ordinary witchcraft tools had all disappeared, replaced by a frost material that could maintain the existence of the miracle for ten days.
"I don't know what happened to the wood demon." Yin Xiduo touched his empty neck and looked silent.
This is the last magic stone he can collect. In other words, this is the last frost material.
The day after tomorrow, the witch formation will need to change its materials.
Including today, there are only twelve days left for the miracle.
Yin Xiduo did not take the public carriage again, but put on his hood and flew home at a low altitude.
On the one hand, it is to save magic stones, and on the other hand, it is also to save time.
After a lot of trouble, it was almost noon, and according to the agreement, this afternoon, the wood demon would come over to communicate the situation as usual.
Yin Xiduo was only ten centimeters above the ground, floating forward like a ghost.
Although the city of Neuinstadt is closed to air, as long as such a flyby is not hit face-to-face by the law enforcement team, there will generally be no problem.
Of course, very few people would do this. Senior wizard apprentices would not dare. Official wizards would not be unable to ride in a carriage. Unless they were in a hurry, they would not adopt such a dishonorable way of traveling.
Feeling the surprised looks from passers-by, Yin Xiduo felt somewhat upset.
But fortunately, it didn't take long before he turned into a familiar alley.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After passing a few forks in the road, Yin Xiduo came to the door of his house, paused for a moment, looked at the figure in front of him and said in surprise:
"Your Excellency Wood Demon?"
He glanced at the time subconsciously, and it was just past ten-thirty, which was still early before their generally agreed meeting time of two o'clock in the afternoon...
Yin Xiduo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of a possibility, walked quickly closer and asked eagerly:
"Wood Demon Pavilion came so early, could it be that..."
Colin nodded, his expression obscured by the white mask, but a hint of smile could be heard in the mechanical voice:
"Yes, as you thought, Your Excellency Yin Xiduo, I have successfully completed the commission."
Yin Xiduo's eyes suddenly lit up, and surprises kept pouring out. His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just said heavily: "Great!"
Yin Xiduo took a few deep breaths, opened the door, and said to Colin:
"Let's go, Mr. Wood Demon, let's go in and talk in detail."
The two of them came to the basement together.
Colin looked at the icicle next to him and said: "Your Excellency Yin Xiduo, I will demonstrate it on ordinary ice elements first, and then transform the miracle."
"Transformation?" Yin Xiduo waved his hand, "Your Excellency Wood Demon, you only need to demonstrate it on the ice element and teach me. As for the transformation of the miracle, I will complete it myself."
Colin was slightly startled, "Are you sure, Your Excellency Yin Xiduo? It will take at least half a month to master the transformation. Even if you just master the basics, I'm afraid it will take a week..."
"I've decided." Yin Xiduo just waved his hand again.
When Colin saw this, he could only look at the miracle not far away with regret and nodded.
"Okay, Your Excellency Yin Xiduo...if you insist."
Some regrets, but that's all.
For Colin, whether he can access the miracle is only secondary. The most important thing is to get the remaining 400,000 magic stones.
As for whether Yin Xiduo can save Miracle, that's not something he can control.
Colin waved his hand to summon an ice elemental and began to demonstrate and explain.
The plan he finally adopted was to use the original core of the ice element as the main body, rather than combining the life cycle core with it, which was equivalent to upgrading the original one.
Such a solution is more difficult than simply combining the two cores. However, because the upgrade based on the original core does not significantly change the structure of the original ice element core, the final result will be more stable, which may cause
The adverse effects are also smaller.
Colin spoke attentively, and Yin Xiduo listened attentively.
However, what they didn't notice was that the miracle that was originally facing them slightly in the icicles behind them turned into facing them directly...
