From this point of view, the gaze with strong emotions perceived outside should have come from the intruder's accomplices. 「」

Lin An was a little curious as to why they would look for her first.

After thinking about it, she and Ike Kalinda came together, I am afraid that she has long been regarded as a faction, she has been in and out frequently these days, contrary to Ike Kalinda's low profile, it makes them feel that there is an opportunity, and it is not impossible to be targeted.

Whatever the moles' intentions, if they were smart enough, they would have kept silent about the death of their complicity, otherwise they would have to explain why they had tried to invade her home, and would have to provoke her strong retaliation.

I believe that after such a lesson, they will not dare to provoke her again.

What's more, the death of a companion will be a great weakening for them, and in a short period of time, they will be a lot more peaceful, and Master Ike will definitely take the opportunity to do something.

Lin An thought for a moment, closed the door, looked at the white ash on the ground, the fingers hidden in his sleeves bent slightly, and spit out a few vague syllables in his mouth.

A small gentle breeze suddenly appeared in the hole, not blowing up dust, but gently pushing the white ash of the ground slowly forward.

White Ash advanced three feet from the doorway, and the seemingly flat ground writhed, and a deep hole appeared in the ground, and the darkness was bottomless. 「」

The breeze swept and sent white ash into the hole, where the flow of air disappeared.

This is the dimensional bag that has no entry and no exit, which was originally used as a trap here, but now it is often used by Lin An as a garbage can with dissatisfaction, and it is very convenient to dispose of real waste.

A mage died here, silently, without a whole corpse.

Someone may pay for his death, but it will never be her.

……

Two days later. The mages gathered again to greet the last three mages.

They were all acquaintances, and after greeting and greeting each other, one of the three mages asked later, "Is it my mistake, it seems that there is one less ......?"

When Master Ike heard this, he showed a sad look:

"Master Mars, because of the embezzlement of mine production, he is afraid of being found out, he has disappeared, and it is likely that he has absconded in fear of crime! This thing. I just informed the fortress side. 「」”

Mars's "disappearance" was discovered by Mage Ike overnight. It's as if he has a pair of eyes everywhere and keeps an eye on everyone's movements.

In the name of tracking down traitors and dealing with dereliction of duty, this gentle and easy-looking Mage Ike changed the positions of the bosses in the mining area in just one day. The cronies who had been installed by the mage had all been eliminated, and they had been replaced with people they trusted in key positions. Take the mining area into your hands.

Many supervisors and supervisors were found to be derelict in their duties and embezzled, and the director and several of his cronies were directly stripped naked and thrown on the ice field, and some of the remaining people were also searched for property and deprived of their duties. Degraded to one of the slaves.

From what Lin An saw two days ago, with their reputation among the slaves, their results would not be much better than the fate of the director.

Mage Ike moved quickly and accurately, as if he had been prepared. It is likely that before coming to the mining area, he received a hint about the fortress.

Quite a few people died yesterday. Even Lin An was invited to testify, mainly for deterrence by force.

Under the control of all the mages, there was no disturbance in the mining area, and there was no incident of overseers inciting slaves to revolt, a group of mages were gathered together, and the two intermediate mage apprentices who were originally stationed here were as quiet as quails, and they didn't even dare to look at Lin An. 「」

Enough people died, and the lesson was deep enough, and Master Ike lightly attributed the main culpability to Mage Mars, who had "absconded and disappeared".

Then Mao recommended himself to search the two intermediate mages in Mars's residence, and sure enough, a sufficient amount of stolen goods was found in Mars's residence.

Probably a sufficient amount of things were recovered, and in the case of a shortage of manpower, Mage Ike did not mean to burn the fire to the mage, but only rearranged the schedule and frequency of rotation patrols.

This time, Master Anglie probably didn't have to take on so many chores.

It seems that in return, Lin An, as one of the senior apprentices, got the position of the three mages originally stationed in the commander-in-chief.

In other words, she only needs to listen to the daily inspection reports of the three of them occasionally every few days, or like the three intermediate apprentices before her, she will not ask any questions at all, and no one will have any objections.

When the three new mages heard the general situation, they knew that the situation had been decided, and they had nothing to do, but when they heard Lin An's position, they seemed a little surprised, and they couldn't help but look at this mage who was not very familiar.

Lin An stood in place with a faint expression, as if he had no intention, and even the position where Mage Ike was standing was also at a distance from her. 「」

The two mid-level apprentices who were originally stationed here still didn't dare to look at her.

***

A month and a half later.

At this time, it is already spring, and the cold and majestic wind that shows the cold majesty of winter is gradually subsiding and disappearing, and the animals of Tibetan winter are gradually beginning to infest the surface.

In an underground mine.

The liquid in the sealed long-necked flask evaporated a light blue smoke, and entered another beaker through the guò curved neck tube, where it met a dark red greasy liquid, before the explosion, Lin An's spiritual power accurately sensed the explosion point, and the magic power input was suddenly interrupted, instantly lowering the temperature of the alchemy platform.

The flask shook a little, and the final product turned into brownish-yellow crystals that clung to the walls of the cup.

Scraping off the crystals on the wall of the cup and collecting them into a synthetic white crystal bottle, Lin An carefully observed the fineness of the crystallized powder.

"Burning powder is already the most familiar one, but before the magic pool is formed, the mixture of magic properties always restricts the purity of the finished product. 」”

Lin An sighed.

The quality of this bottle of incendiary powder is between that of a formal mage and an apprentice, and it is already the best quality that an apprentice can make, and before the official promotion is formed to form a magic pool that can transform magic attributes, it is impossible to further improve the mixed attribute magic power.

Lin An had to admit that Old Julian, who bypassed this boundary and successfully produced a higher-grade alchemy product, was a true genius.

However, the methods used by Julian the Elder are not recorded in the Codex materials he left behind.

Linked to the old Julian's previous origin and his identity as a cover before his death, Lin An guessed that he may have used some secret methods in the Holy See's secret collection involving forbidden areas such as life force or soul.

There is no shortage of similar things in the Kronos Collection.

After seeing old Julian's vague words, Lin An didn't say that she hadn't been moved, and the shortcuts and methods to quickly improve her strength described above were very, very attractive to her.

But after flipping through some of Kronos's collections, Lin An only tasted them, put those things back in, and never looked at them again.

Something that involves the forbidden realm, cruelty and horror cannot describe its contingency, it can lightly distort the mind and even pollute the soul.

There is no shortage of mages in history who have touched taboos, most of them out of curiosity at first, but after falling into the depths, all of them have changed their personalities drastically, and the end is extremely tragic.

Lin An knows very well what she wants, survival is the first purpose, freedom is the second purpose, and strength is just a tool to help her achieve her goal.

Perhaps after achieving the first two goals, she will completely let go of herself and immerse herself in the exploration of the mysteries of magic.

Not long after entering the ice field, Lin An had already completed the accumulation of magic power and stood on the verge of promotion.

A long time ago, she stopped continuing to accumulate mana, but spent a lot of time reading and spell deduction in space, and constantly refining and purifying spiritual power, and at the same time familiar with the movement of mana in the body, so that when she was promoted, she could complete the gathering of mana faster and form a perfect magic pool.

Purifying mental power and skillfully mobilizing magic power are the hardware when you advance, which can lay a better foundation for promotion;

Only when the first-level spell is successfully released, the accumulated magic power will break through the barrier between the apprentice and the official mage, and reach a qualitative change to form a magic pool.

Due to the function of spatial acceleration and the huge spiritual power, coupled with the fact that he had obtained a first- to third-level spell book from the Jialan Library, for other apprentices, it took ten years to buy one, and one or two years to barely complete the first-level spell model, Lin An had already deduced to the eighteenth.

The software and hardware are already available, if it weren't for the reincarnation, standing on the edge of promotion, Lin An, who had already vaguely felt that the dividing line, felt that it was about forty percent possible for him, and he could advance along the way.

But waiting is not useless, purifying spiritual power and familiarizing with the operation of magic power will lay a more perfect foundation for her, and in the process of entering that spiritual space and climbing the ladder, Lin An feels that the dividing line is clearer, as if he can break through as soon as he stretches out his hand.

In the aftermath, Lin An believed that it was not an illusion, and it should indicate that the success rate and danger of her promotion would be greatly increased.

- No one was present at the time, otherwise if a mage saw the silver vision that once loomed in Lin An's eyes, he would know that Lin An had almost stepped into the ranks of official mages with one foot:

Historically, there has not been a single mage apprentice who has seen this vision in his eyes that has not been able to advance to a full-fledged mage.

After putting the burning powder into the space and disposing of the remaining waste, an idea suddenly appeared in Lin An's spirit without warning.

"The first level of verification is completed for all participants, and the first level is opened."

"Participant No. 8, with the first level of entry qualifications, ranked 48th, no permission to choose a location, no permission to choose a time, no permission to bring people, no permission to bring in items beyond the energy limit...... Will enter the first floor after 24 mana. ”

The flask at hand slammed into the table and shattered.

If Lin didn't hear it, his pupils constricted:

These two short paragraphs of content have brought her too many associations, if there is no accident, this time when she enters the first layer, the danger she encounters will be unprecedented!
