85. The night of the full moon

"You know what? There are more geniuses who have died in the history of the academy, but the geniuses who died in the middle of the academy would not have appeared in the academy's history, they are all losers, and they don't have that qualification. Li Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued: "Those who survived, their geniuses may not be worse than mine, but there are some things that are inconvenient to record even after their death, maybe they have some earth-shattering secret that can never be said." ”

"Oh, so that's the case" Mani was a little disappointed, but she understood what Li Yi meant, but she just felt that what he said was too cruel, and there were many beautiful things in reality, why was she always obsessed with killing and scheming?

"Do you still want broth?" Li Yi asked suddenly.

"Ahh I'm going to drink, I'm going to have some smoked sausages, and bacon sandwiches. Mani loves the city-state's cuisine, and smoked and grilled meats are her favorite.

"No problem, wait a minute." Li Yi called the waiter and rewarded him with a few tips of one gold coin, asking him to send the food over as soon as possible.

In this wet and cold weather, a warm room and a stove are indispensable, Li Yi spent the morning guessing, but found nothing, he finally set his eyes on the ancient characters on the metal buried in the ground, the night of the full moon.

"On the night of the full moon, is it a werewolf?" Li Yi thought of the scene where people turned into werewolves under the full moon, and then he couldn't help laughing, "I have a fart relationship with a werewolf, how can such a made-up thing exist?" By the way, I'll ask the local elders to see what is unusual about this city-state on the night of the full moon every month. ”

Thinking of this, Li Yi put on his clothes and went out, he was going to visit the local elders.

"A full moon night? There will be a moon tide! The old woman looked very kind, she burned the stove vigorously, and poured Li Yi a cup of hot tea.

"Moon tide? What is that? Li Yi had never heard of this word.

"Every year in the middle of July, when the moon reaches its fullest moment, those fire demons in the nearby mountains will fly into the sky in groups to chase the moon, just like the tide."

"Oh, so what unusual happens at this time of year?" Li Yi asked.

"Anomalous? I don't know what counts as an anomaly, but every time the moon tide occurs, the earth shakes, the house shakes badly, every year like this, it's a small earthquake, it's good to get used to it, but it's been ten years in the past few years, and there is no earthquake at the moon tide, so I'm really worried, you know? I've heard that small earthquakes can vent the energy of the earth, but if you don't vent for a long time, there will be big earthquakes, just like a pot of boiling water should open a small hole to ventilate, otherwise it will overflow. ”

Li Yi suddenly became enlightened, he felt that he had insight into the truth of the incident, the secret of the volcano, there must be someone manipulating something here, and he needed to further confirm that the public library of the city-state was the best place to go now.

People who often play with conspiracies are the most sensitive to conspiracy, and Li Yi perceives a trace of manipulation in these vague connections, and he now strongly wants to participate in this conspiracy and obtain benefits, even if he is anti-guest, he is not knowable.

In the public library, Li Yi consulted the most orthodox city-state history, it turns out that in the middle of July every year, on the day of the full moon, the fire demons will fly to the sky in clusters, a fiery red ocean, accompanied by a slight earthquake, forming a peculiar landscape, this history has been recorded since the beginning of the written record, but in the last ten years, for some reason, the fire demon still flies to the sky, but the earthquake is gone, people speculate that the earth is tired and stops such a breath.

"It's impossible for the full moon to cause an earthquake, so what is the connection between an earthquake that occurs on time and a fire demon? Could it be that the fire demon's flight caused the earthquake? Ten years ago" Li Yi suddenly remembered one thing, the Fire Demon Club in the city-state was established ten years ago.

A bold inference had taken shape in his head, but it needed one more thing to confirm it - the eye of the fire demon ten years ago.

Li Yi's process of finding the Eye of the Fire Demon ten years ago was not easy, he inquired among the explorers who hunted the Fire Demon, and asked if there was anyone who treasured the Eye of the Fire Demon, but they all changed it to a spirit crystal after they got it, and only an old explorer, who had a sudden interest more than ten years ago, carved a Fire Demon Eye into a vivid model of the Fire Demon and put it in his room as an ornament.

After paying a price that made the other party excited, Li Yi successfully got the eye of the fire demon ten years ago, and he returned to the front of the cold pool, allowing Alger to dive into the water again.

Alger swam down a narrow crack in the ground to a stretch of ancient metal across the water, and the ten-year-old Eye of the Fire Demon suddenly moved, and a magical attraction stretched out from the metal, and it was difficult to separate them.

And with the eyes of the fire demon ten years later close to the metal, such a phenomenon will not occur, and after clarifying this fact, Li Yi suddenly realized.

"What a perfect plan!" He lamented, and at the same time sorted out his thoughts: "In ancient times, there were some powerful explorers who built cities on this land, but the forces of nature have always been bad, it is located at the junction of continental plates, which is prone to devastating tectonic earthquakes, and there is a huge volcanic lake under the mountains, and when the plate movement causes large tectonic earthquakes, volcanic earthquakes due to magma loss will be induced at the same time, so these powerful explorers have come up with an ingenious way to make people cultivate on fertile volcanic soil. It can also prevent disasters from happening. This method is to bury countless metal blocks in the ground, these metal blocks are strong, not easy to be eroded by water and salt and rust, and the magma is put into a large number of special magnetic particles, this kind of magnetism is certainly different from ordinary magnets, only attractive to these underground metal blocks, and the fire demon that inhabits the volcano is also a kind of domesticated spirit, they reproduce quickly, will absorb magma, and at the same time the special magnetism is condensed in the body, especially the eyes of this part, in the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, according to the habits that have been trained, They will collectively fly into the sky, and at this time, the metal blocks in the ground will be pulled by gravity, causing small earthquakes, so that the power accumulated in the earth will be released little by little, and no major earthquakes will be generated. ”

"And, these ancient explorers, put a treasure containing ice spiritual power in the magma lake under the volcanic group to suppress the magma and prevent the volcano from erupting, and at the same time, the fire demon absorbs the heat of the magma every day, which will also have the effect of weakening the power of nature, this place itself should be a barren land accompanied by an earthquake accompanied by a volcanic eruption, the ancient explorers used great wisdom and great power to domesticate nature, it is really remarkable, but, countless years have passed, these powerful explorers can no longer protect this land, and a conspirator appeared, He wanted to get the ice treasure that suppressed the volcano, so he continued to put in the magma a special magnetic substance, so that every year in the moon tide, when the fire demons flew into the sky in groups, there were no more small earthquakes, and the power of the earth could not be vented, so it accumulated year by year, if, on the night of the full moon this year, this conspirator did not put magnetic neutralizers into the magma, then the body of the fire demon would be full of magnetism, and the power of the earth would be released more intensely when the moon tide came. Even a few small city-states in the vicinity will be wiped out, haha, in the destruction the earth will be cracked, and the induced magma eruption will bring out the ice treasure that suppressed the magma lake, and the purpose of the conspirators will be achieved. ”

"Although the manipulator behind the scenes may not have caused the earthquake this year, my intuition tells me that person can't wait so long, ten years, it's too long, the power of the earth is estimated to have accumulated to the extreme, and if it is not induced, it will be uncontrollable, and the uncontrollable factors are not liked by a qualified conspirator." Li Yi returned to the hotel satisfied, went to enjoy his lunch, and treated himself.

"Mani, do you like this city-state?" Li Yi suddenly put down his fork and looked up to ask her.

"Huh?" Mani was vigorously cutting a piece of barbecue with thick sauce, and when she suddenly heard this question, she excitedly replied to Li Yi: "I like it so much!" It's delicious! Her face turned red from being too excited.

"Hehe," Li Yi smiled and shook his head, "Then after this year's moon tide, it will continue to exist." He suddenly said this inexplicable sentence.

Unbeknownst to her, her words saved the city-state, millions of civilians, from extinction, and she enjoyed all the sunshine, delicious food, air, and local lime juice happily and carefree.

"Originally, my plan was to snatch the ice treasure that suppressed the volcano after that conspirator achieved his goal, and the fisherman profited, since Mani likes it here, then this city-state has enough reason not to be destroyed, and the plan has changed from interception to sniping, it's not easy!" Li Yi stood alone on the roof of the hotel, which allowed him to think quietly. The rain fell on the umbrella, and the cool breeze poured into his chest.

"Even if that guy stops, how will the energy accumulated in the earth's crust be released? The power accumulated in ten years is too terrifying, enough to destroy everything, let me think about it, there must be a way. "There is not much time left for Li Yi, only half a month, if you don't think of a plan to stop that person before the moon tide, then this place will become a sea of fire and a world of collapse.

"Before coming up with a plan to stop them, I have to understand the strength of the other party, if I don't know anything, it will be very passive and not conducive to the implementation of the plan." Li Yi decided to startle the snake.

A few days later, news spread among the explorers who had captured the Fire Demon that the cold pool in a certain valley had the ability to increase the quality of the Fire Demon Eye by fifty percent! This was a boon to God for the hunters who risked their lives to catch the fire demons, and the swarming explorers surrounded the pool.

Then the secrets of the cold pool were exposed, including the huge metals buried deep in the ground, the strange cold that penetrated the rocks, and another rumor began to rise - there is an extremely powerful ice treasure here, which can release the spiritual power of ice all the time, and the explorers are driven by interests to dig the rocks, and the more they dig into it, the richer the spiritual power of the frost becomes, the more excited they become, thinking that this treasure is at their fingertips, and even wary of each other to rob this treasure.

But when they dug in the back, they found that they couldn't dig any further, and those 10,000-year-old ice were not at all something that a mere green-level spirit could dig up.

At the same time, in the basement of the Fire Demon Club, the long-haired youth with glasses also received specific information about the situation.

"Mr. Allen, what should we do?" The waiter stooped down and saluted him.

"Humph! This Hantan is a variable in the plan, it's really unlucky, you go to investigate who released the news of the discovery of Hantan, this person found that Hantan is not quietly possessed but is spread around It's really strange, my plan has been going on for ten years, as a descendant of the Kent family, a genius of the younger generation, I have disappeared for so many years, and the original prestige is also a little unknown, this time I obtained that thing, I went back to let a bunch of fools see my true strength. The aristocratic young man named Allen habitually used his middle finger to support the frame.

"Mr. Allen, according to the investigation, an explorer named Anze had a quarrel with an explorer named Sylvia, so he chose to gamble in this valley, and many explorers went to help or bet, and inadvertently found that cold pool during the gambling fight." The waiter reported truthfully.

"Well, I see, what I'm most worried about is that someone already knows about my plan and sniped at it, it seems that I have thought too much." Alan looked down and thought about it, and the long hair cascaded down from the side of his face like a waterfall, each one straight and straight.

"Celestino, you take people to occupy this cold pool, fake a battle, the content is that the people of the Fire Demon Club found a gold-level ice spirit at the bottom of the cold pool, and captured it and imprisoned it at the bottom of the pool, and then opened this cold pool to explorers as a paid project, it's time for these weak explorers to see the strength of the club, it's not good to always treat this place as a pastime bar." The long-haired youth said.

"Yes, young master." An old butler wearing a black evening dress, a rickety figure, and a monocle came from the side, and he turned out to be a gold-level explorer!

The rumors were quickly contained, and the club occupied Hantan, in front of the gold-level spirits, those green-level explorers did not have any right to speak, but the price of the club's service to soak the eyes of the fire demon was very low, which made the explorers feel very orderly, and they were also relieved to hand over the harvested spirit crystals to the club to soak on their behalf, because at least soaking in the cold pool overnight would be effective.

Li Yi hid in the shadows and watched coldly, he didn't really think that the inhabitants at the bottom of the cold pool were powerful ice spirits like those explorers who captured the fire demons, and the Fire Demon Club's timely and quick refutation of the rumors made him begin to appreciate this behind-the-scenes opponent.

However, he also succeeded in getting what he wanted - the strength of the Fire Demon Club, and did not let Alan know that the discovery of Hantan was the result of human manipulation.

"They dispatched at least three gold-level spirits in this operation, and the potential strength is estimated to be more than six gold-level spirits, two gold-level explorers, too strong, there is no chance of winning head-on, and the other party is also a conspirator with perfect intelligence, not so easy to calculate." It was the first time Li Yi had encountered such a powerful opponent, which made him very happy and full of fighting spirit, after entering the Sky Academy, he was calculating some impulsive and proud rich children, robbers who did not enter the stream, tomb robbers, and explorers who captured fire demons, the difficulty was too small, although it was quite rewarding, but there was always no technical content.

Li Yi will not be satisfied with such a small scheme, if he can destroy this ten-year plan, this exquisite layout, this conspiracy involving countless people's lives and deaths, then there is no doubt that this will become a very important memory for him.
