Once Fabbro died, the resistance in the manor disappeared.
The slaves and guards fled in all directions, hoping to avoid the subsequent massacre - the struggle for power has always been cruel, often for the purpose of establishing power, and the winner will ruthlessly strangle the loser's power. The innocent will inevitably be affected by the sharp blade.
No one dares to bet on whether the 'merciful' Monsignor Hugo will carry out the cleaning. Anyone with legs will escape, and only those who cannot escape will kneel down and beg for mercy.
Zhou Qingfeng stood quietly in front of Fabbro's body, raised his hand, and his blood-stained staff flew up out of thin air. The book charm appeared behind his head, took the staff and carefully identified it, using multiple appraisal techniques and
The secret seals are cracked in turns.
Eileen, a tree spirit who was not good at fighting, carefully emerged from the floor of the hall. After confirming that the battle was over, she held a black box in both hands and presented it to Zhou Qingfeng with a sweet smile.
This black box was found according to the tips of the manor's butler. When you open the black box, you will find an oval gem the size of a quail egg. Its luster is magnificent and it emits a fantastic scene.
"It's the 'Tears of the Emperor'." Seven little goblins jumped out one after another and flew around the gem in Zhou Qingfeng's palm. They flapped their wings and each sang a short song, and then a ray of light sank into the gem.
"It's really the 'Tears of the Emperor'." The goblins cheered again, "This is the top magic gem, hard to find in the world. It has many incredible effects. The simplest one is as a high-level arcana
Carrier."
Arcane spells of level three or below can be made into scrolls using exquisite sheepskin as a carrier and matching magic materials. The wizard can prepare limited spell slots every day, and scrolls and potions are equally important life-saving equipment.
However, arcana of level three or above cannot use parchment scrolls as a carrier, and requires the use of various levels of magic gems. Among them, 'Emperor's Tears' is the best among gems and can be used to store ninth-level arcana.
After identification, the 'red-haired' goblin shouted: "Fabro's ability is not enough to use this gem. He uses 'Emperor's Tears' as the core of the magic circle in his main house."
Fabbro secretly returned home and wanted to take refuge in his manor. However, Zhou Qingfeng followed him and instigated the rebellion of the manor's steward. Many of the methods deployed in the manor were of no use and all fell into the hands of the enemy.
Book Charm Sophia has completed the identification and decryption of the staff. She whispered: "Master, do you want to activate the defense circle in the manor? This circle is connected to Fabbro's underground alchemy laboratory."
Zhou Qingfeng threw out the ‘Emperor’s Tears’, “Let’s start it, let’s see if Fabbro has any good stuff?”
Sophia took the gem, held the staff in her hand, and whispered the secret spell she had cracked. The 'Emperor's Tears' flew up and automatically embedded itself in the broken ceiling of the hall.
A circle of glare spread from the ceiling, causing the entire hall to shake slightly. Sophia inserted the staff into the center of the hall, like inserting a key.
The stone bricks on the ground collapsed and shattered, and only one remained in place, which was extremely conspicuous. The staff was inserted into the stone brick and turned slightly, causing the ground to crack.
Bang bang bang..., with several soft sounds in succession, the four corner pillars of the hall shattered. The pillars were actually hollow, and squatting inside were four gargoyles with long horns, wings, and sharp teeth and claws.
The eyes of the gargoyles opened and a red light lit up. They flapped their wings and were about to pounce on Zhou Qingfeng, but with Sophia's low shout, they stopped again and landed respectfully next to Zhou Qingfeng, becoming obedient slaves.
The gargoyle is just the first guard of the manor's defense array. The diagonal steps are exposed under the cracked ground. Inside is the core of Fabbro, his alchemy laboratory.
In the laboratory, there are at least a dozen alchemical constructs that cost a lot of money to build. If Fabbro were allowed to escape, Zhou Qingfeng would definitely be beaten all over his head and run away without his life.
Zhou Qingfeng opened the pentagram pendant at the Gate of True Knowledge and opened his own alchemy workshop. Shu Mei immediately understood what his master meant, and the other strange maids chanted and cast spells together to integrate Fabro's laboratory into the workshop.
As an alchemy wizard, Fabbro has a dazzling collection in the laboratory. Sample bottles of large and small sizes fly out of the ground, constantly expanding the storage categories of the workshop.
Mondino stepped forward and said in amazement: "Your Excellency Hugo, your harvest is certainly not small. Fabbro is a famous alchemist throughout the North, and his family is very rich."
A specimen bottle flew in front of Zhou Qingfeng, with a large mantis soaked in the antiseptic liquid. Mondino explained casually: "This is the red mantis, a strange creature in the voodoo swamp. It is ferocious and has a strong sense of territory. Unfortunately, it is a
specimen."
Another specimen bottle flew over, "Troll's Eye, this thing is ordinary and not very useful. I don't know where Fabbro got it from."
The other was an oversized glass jar, taller than a person, which seemed to contain a large ball of gelatin-like substance. Mondino looked through the glass for a long time without recognizing what it was.
Instead, Shu Mei floated over and answered, "Glato monster, a kind of mud monster. This thing has no brain, only instinct. It eats almost anything. It is used by alchemists to dispose of garbage."
"Dispose of garbage?" Zhou Qingfeng recognized this strange creature through 'Monsterology', "How much can it be processed?"
Sophia curled her lips and said, "This thing is disgusting, and I have never raised it. Generally, wizards will raise this thing in the basement of their residence, and feed it all kinds of messy things.
In addition to metal, glass, stone, etc., the gelatinous monster will not refuse any other rags, wood, or meat. It can eat them all. If it eats enough, it will divide and grow on its own. You need to kill it.
It’s easy, just burn it at high temperature.”
It sounds like a fully automatic garbage disposal station that is not picky.
Another thing floated out of the underground laboratory, a dark mass. Mondino became excited when he saw this thing, "Sir Hugo, I lost a Balrog skeleton before, and you agreed to compensate me.
I need this as compensation."
The dark thing is like a mist.
Zhou Qingfeng frowned in confusion, and Sophia the Book Charm didn't recognize it either. Instead, Quick Shadow poked his head in through the broken window in the hall, "It's the evil spirit group, the residual consciousness of the vicious bloodthirsty after death, and the abyss is full of people."
This thing."
It didn't sound like a good thing, and if it got on it, it would be like being possessed by a ghost. Zhou Qingfeng didn't want it, so he gave it to Mondino casually.
The necromancer felt like he had found a treasure. He very carefully took out a bottle and patiently controlled the black mist to put it into the bottle. He smiled cheerfully and said: "I can use it to cultivate extremely ferocious ghosts."
Hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng was even more grateful.
Fabbro's laboratory was gradually moved into the alchemy workshop, and the area of the workshop was expanded to more than 150 square meters, increasing the internal space.
Although the books and documents collected by this 'Chief Alchemist' are far inferior to top elf libraries like the Gate of True Knowledge, careful searches can yield unexpected results.
Zhou Qingfeng found a gorgeously decorated arcane tome from the bookshelf that Fabro frequently browsed. He took a closer look and saw four large characters written in Netherese on the cover - The Pink Book.
Damn..., my dear, this book is interesting!
Shu Mei saw it and immediately said angrily: "Master, this kind of forbidden book must be burned."
Zhou Qingfeng immediately took it in his arms and flatly refused: "This kind of treasure that runs through the entire history of civilization cannot be lost in my hands. Don't worry, I will study it critically. Just like studying "The Plum in the Golden Ping"."
Shu Mei gritted her teeth in anger, "Master, you are so shameless."
