The sky was bright, and a beautifully shaped house came into Mu Yan's field of vision.

He crouched on a tree branch outside the barrier, feeling like the bad guy in "Home Alone", and he was afraid of the mansion's advanced security system, and hesitated. And the young mage named Ash is Kevin, a bear child hiding in a mansion.

The radius of the barrier near the house to disguise its existence is about a thousand meters, and although his perception is cut off, and elemental crows and the like can't fly in, this does not prevent him from using the optical telescope he made to observe the whole picture of the house.

A copper cylinder with a few polished crystals reveals a small castle-like mansion when zoomed in.

This is the obvious Jialan style, the retro Kragon style to be exact, and the "Starlight Arena" we mentioned earlier is an older version of this style, when it was still called Klaman, and later after Jialan's independence, the mages changed its name to make it unique to distinguish it from the Morning Star.

The suffix "-geon" means hero in elven language, and Mu Yan couldn't figure out why the mages deliberately imitated the elves in order to show the "high civilization", shouldn't they hate the elves to the core?

Towering spires, vaulted roofs, terraces, it all reminded him of Wynne's private mansion.

Although this legendary mage headmaster has a mouthful of "enemy school" and a mouthful of "enemy country", his body is very honest, and the style of the mansion is completely copied from Glazer. Although the latter is a legendary mage of Jialan, and even a member of the council, he has a close relationship with the elemental tower of the Morning Star, and thus became acquainted with Wynne.

In this way, Wynne's justification is even more justified.

"Everyone is a Morning Star, learn what's wrong! Besides, the matter of the legendary mage, can it be called plagiarism? ”

……

The three resentful spirits who were tricked into it at night were still wandering, and the light made them confused, but they couldn't find a way out, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

"Since the ghost has been there for so long and hasn't been discovered, it shouldn't matter if I go in now, right?"

Although Mu Yan thought so, he was still a little worried, the other party was a bear child with a weapon of mass destruction in his hand, and he might have some unexpected operation.

So he continued to wait quietly, making the scroll was a work of extreme precision, and it was impossible for the other party not to concentrate on it, and if this kind of vigilant enchantment was still open at that time, it would be tantamount to looking for death.

Imagine that you are engrossed in mixing liquids, and you are carefully writing complex words with an enchanted pen in your hand, when suddenly there is a sound of alarm from the bottom of your heart, and then you make a mistake, and the energy that has nowhere to vent swells between the handwritings, and the scroll burns to ashes, or explodes, leaving people and scrolls without bones...... That kind of tragic ending can't be saved by the soundproof barrier.

That's why most mages have a pretty good relationship with their apprentices - they have to have someone they can trust to take care of them.

……

Ash didn't sleep well this night, waking up with two panda eyes.

The reason is very simple, last night three unsightly resentful spirits broke in, triggering the alarm of the surrounding enchantment, waking him up from his sleep, and even thought that someone had discovered his secret.

Although this kind of thing doesn't happen much, it doesn't mean that it won't happen, and there are always one or two lucky people who will walk in by chance. But in a cautious manner, he continued to sleep with his sleepy eyes open for two hours, confirming that it was indeed just a misunderstanding before going back to sleep.

Although the state is not good, the current thing is the most important.

So he took a cold shower, forced himself to calm down, get back to his best, and rechecked the surroundings of the house.

Those three resentful spirits are still there, and they may be able to serve as a line of defense. With this in mind, he opened the invisible barrier of the house itself, causing it to disappear from the view of the resentful spirits completely.

After checking the materials needed to craft the scroll twice, he breathed a sigh of relief and closed all the other guards except for the invisible barrier.

Making a reel requires absolute silence and no room for error.

With all this done, he went to the dark storage room, lifted the two floor tiles, walked slowly, and covered up all traces.

……

Mu Yan suddenly saw a resentful spirit coming out of the enchantment, and tried to extend his perception forward.

It's good, it's not blocked, the barrier is gone.

But strangely, the house has also disappeared.

"Invisible enchantment? It's exactly the same......"

He couldn't help but be a little surprised, he remembered that Wynne's house was also this kind of urine, a one-kilometer radius of warning and camouflage enchantment, and the house itself could be invisible.

So he slipped quietly in front of the house through the shade of the tree, and attracted the two resentful spirits who had lost their way, and led them to crash into it.

"Bell" twice, the resentful soul was bounced open by the enchantment, and the translucent figure also dimmed a little.

"It seems that I really thought that I could sit back and relax."

Overtaking the two resentful spirits, he stepped back a bit, then ran up, leaping high, and using a petrification spell on himself before crashing hard into the barrier.

Enchantments can't work on creatures whose souls fluctuate below a certain frequency, and they will be judged to be dead, especially the invisible enchantment, which bullies low-IQ monsters, and doesn't need to be very sophisticated, so the lower limit of this frequency is very high.

The abundant magic in his body caused him to be highly resistant, and after only about a moment of petrification effect, his stiff limbs were already soft when he landed, and the wind elemental gathered on his shoes, helping him to land lightly.

The perception slowly dissipated, the room was empty, even the books had been cleaned up, the shelves were full of dust, the kitchen was clean, it seemed as if no one had cooked for a long time, only one room seemed to have been inhabited.

He climbed through the window and walked through the empty hallway to the room.

There was only a bed and an empty bookshelf in the house, which was a bit similar to his previous bedroom in Morning Star, except that there was no window here, and if it weren't for the fact that he was still holding a lighting crystal in his hand, it would probably be pitch black, unlike him, who woke up with the sun all year round and was full of positive energy.

The previous trace of magic had completely dissipated, and he turned around again, checking around the corners, and found little to gain except that he was sure that the house was exactly the same as Wynne's.

"Could it be that I'm dazzled?"

He was surprised to completely disperse his perception, this time not only exploring horizontally, but also penetrating a part of it downward.

Then there was still nothing, and the perception probed that there was solid earth underneath, and there was no space such as a cellar.

There wasn't much dust on the floor, so it was impossible to tell where the other person went most often.

"If I were him, and I had gathered all the materials, I would definitely find a quiet place to make scrolls, and maybe even open the soundproof barrier."

"Because the alchemy equipment and the enchantment table are precision instruments, they are generally placed on the first floor for the sake of shock protection, and will not be placed in a high place, so they can be excluded from above."

"In order to isolate the inspection of fellow mages, there may be some interference with perception, such as the walls of the inner hall of the mercenary guild, so it cannot be relied on completely."

Thinking of this, he had a slight clue.

"Xia Mu, if this house is going to dig a basement, help me mark out an area on the map where the earth can be moved."

"After drawing, red represents areas that are prone to collapse, and the darker the color, the more dangerous it is."

A map marked with symbols appeared in the mind, with four conspicuous light-colored patches.

"The kitchen, the living room, the storage room, and this bedroom at my feet?"

He changed his mind, scrutinizing every inch of the floor in the place, and finally found something unusual in the storage room: two floor tiles were loose, and the dirt around them was relatively new.

"Xia Mu, how long does it take for a level 20-30 mage to make a 'Soul Searching' scroll?" He asked, crouching on the floor tiles.

"8-10 hours, of which the failure rate of the first 1/4 segment is 127, the failure rate of the first 1/4 segment is 228, the failure rate of the middle and rear 1/4 segments is 491, and the failure rate of the last 1/4 segment is 784. The target is suspected to have started the production 45 minutes before, so it is recommended to enter the room after 5 hours and 15 minutes."

Hearing this, Mu Yan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Is it so hard to make scrolls in the game?" He himself had only experience transcribing scrolls, i.e., providing the basic templates needed to make them, just like copying a copybook.

"There are no cross-level crafting scrolls in Age of Dusk, and the basic template cannot be opened if the level requirements are not met, just like the spell textbook. The above data is the official control probability of the production of the same level of scrolls, which is intended to reduce the success rate of players and increase the difficulty of the game."

“…… So what about the actual success rate of the game aside? ”

"Success and failure vary from person to person."

Feeling that his IQ was insulted by the database, Mu Yan pursed his lips and didn't ask any more.

……

Wearing a mask and gloves, Ash tore open a scroll of air shields, creating a shallow layer of airflow protection.

Then he calmly chopped up the rhizome of the grimace flower and the spike of the cold arc reed, pounded them into a paste, and then slowly poured in the acid of the ghost fire ant, and the three mixed into a ball of steaming green oily liquid, and he hurriedly plugged the bottle cap.

Then he drilled a small hole in the egg of the pitch-black raven, poured out the egg whites completely, added the eyeballs of the ghost wood spirit, the ghost mist insect eggs and other seven materials, and boiled them on the crucible. At the same time, pour the previously prepared liquid into the egg of the pitch-black raven along the small hole.

A trace of white gas escapes from the hole, and the extremely corrosive nature makes the egg yolk deteriorate quickly.

……

Two hours and 45 minutes later, he finished processing the material. Because my right hand became dry and stiff, it took 45 minutes longer than expected, but fortunately, the next work did not require too many delicate operations, and I was determined.

The negative emotions stored in the Soul Eater's core were obviously not as strong as those in the gray crystal, which could be seen from the amount of turbid mist.

Sensing the weakening of the cyclone around him, he rested for a little for five minutes, then tore open an air shield scroll and placed the purification potion within his reach, and began to collect the negative emotions in the Soul Eater Beast's core.
