Chapter 1196: The Source of the Earth

An Yizhi has never been a good person, although he is not a bad person, he can only be said to be a strange guy who is particularly casual and indifferent to outsiders.

But no matter what, he is still a human being, and he cannot escape the fragility of being human.

Maybe it was just plain unhappiness, or maybe Ophelia's life experience made him resonate a little, and Ann Yizhi actually showed an emotion that he rarely had.

- Compassion.

is controlled by emotions, naturally there is no reason to speak of, and it is not difficult to understand the frenzy of this product in the end.

But then again, in the end he pretended to be a good B to the Emperor, but in reality everything he said was completely unproven, and everything was based on speculation and simple elimination.

Since it was a coup d'état, the person behind the scenes naturally had to take the throne after killing the emperor.

And the emperor died when he didn't designate an heir, and the next emperor must be his eldest son, and he is the direct beneficiary, so An Yizhi is determined.

There is no direct evidence other than this simple stake.

Although An Yizhi didn't bother to prove it.

If you have to say it, in the end, the guy who was pinched off his legs with a Bigby grappling palm is not clear whether it is a prince or not, he just broke into the palace and saw a team of people sneakily hiding in the bushes, and An, who was too lazy to ink, pointed directly at the Bigby King Kong fist to open the way, and then used the Biggby grappling palm to pick out one of the people who looked the most like a big man dressed up.

And why did An Yizhi suspect that the emperor of the whole thing was probably vaguely aware, or simply fully aware?

This starts with the current situation in the Empire.

On the border, the Commonwealth's military is eager to try, because the empire has just lost the war, the empire has lost a lot of land, and because of their rotten aristocracy, the domestic discontent is growing day by day, and some places have even launched independence movements to secede from the empire, which can be described as internal and external troubles.

So, how should you respond in such an environment? Straightforward drastic reforms?

No, it would provoke a violent backlash, but rather accelerate the pace of the empire's decline.

The best way to do this is to wage a war in which the discontent of the people will be temporarily suppressed, and when the war is over, it will be much easier to carry out a series of reforms in the face of the economy and people's livelihood that are in ruins.

And this method requires an excuse to have a righteous name, and this excuse is the death of the emperor.

After all, he has ruled for decades and has some prestige, and as long as the new monarch comes up to control public opinion and say that the death of the previous emperor was the work of the Federation, it is easy to mobilize the emotions of the people, and the implementation is extremely smooth.

It sounds like an idealistic plan, how can it be so easy to implement?

However, history teaches us that reality is always more bizarre than it is, and one need only look at the history of recent Europe to see that this approach is not only useful, but quite useful.

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the consumption of the patriotic enthusiasm of the common people.......

- Dig deeper and feel like a pill.

It is precisely with this premise that An Yizhi will say, 'You are right to do whatever you want'.

Of course, these are also his guesses, and there is also no evidence, but An Yizhi is too lazy to look for it, and the dirty conspiracy between the nobles is really not interesting.

However, after this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to mix in the empire if I go to that dungeon world again, and if there is a next time, it is better to continue to wander around Saviara or go to the Federation to have a look.

The last thing to talk about is Ann's newly recruited little apprentice Ophelia.

The letter he left behind was simple, the first half was addressed to Olivet, the leader of the Seviara Adventurers' Guild, asking him to help open a portal to send Ophelia to the Three Towers Alliance.

The second half is for Jace Cod, hoping that he will get Ophelia into the Academy of Magic.

Although she is only 8 years old, much earlier than the minimum age of 12 years old, considering the environment of the empire, An Yizhi still feels that it is more reliable to send her to the Three Towers Alliance, even if she can't enter the Academy of Magic, for the sake of An Yizhi's face, the Three Towers Alliance will give some care.

As for pretending to be forced in front of the emperor, will Ophelia be implicated?

First of all, Kara signed a system contract at the highest level, even if her own father stood in front of her, she had to follow the content of the contract, which was unconditional.

Secondly, no one dared to be angry, it is no exaggeration to say that even if An Yizhi attacked the emperor at that time, the imperial powerhouses hidden nearby would at most only save people, and would not dare to do anything to An Yizhi.

The reason, of course, is Nikolai.

As long as they are mixed in this circle, everyone knows what kind of virtue Nikolai is, and madness cannot predict his behavior, but they also know that Nikolai is special to protect his shortcomings.

Again, for Nikolai, it has always been me who bullies others, and no one dares to bully me.

- I really wonder if Nikolai should be called Long Aotian......

What An Yizhi did was basically a fox and a fake tiger, if the other party was a lone ranger, it might not be of much use, but the empire with a big family and a big business would not dare to take this kind of risk, and the ghost knows if that old madman would throw over a 12-serial alchemy explosion, after all, you can't reason with a madman at all.

Then again, I don't know how Nikolai would feel when he learned that he had an extra apprentice, and maybe he would be happy with his personality......

That's pretty much all there was to say in the previous dungeon, Ann Yi pointed back to the Sea Clan's hotel and opened the settlement list casually.

[Normal Dungeon: Glitz and Darkness]

[Main quest completion: 100%]

[Side quest completion: 0%]

[Experience Points: 20000]

[Game currency: 1000]

[Skill Points: 0]

[Randomly select an item that matches the player's level and send it to the player's dimensional pocket, please check]

Not to mention the unclear dungeon title, why is the completion of the side quest 0?

It's not that there is a bug in the system, but that An Yizhi directly gave up the side quest.

To put it simply, due to the time conflict between the main quest and the side quest, only one can be chosen, and An Yizhi chose the former between going to the palace to pretend to vent and go to the sewer to arrest people.

Although the main quest doesn't need An Yizhi to participate at all, he just needs to tell Kara his guess, and the way to maximize the benefits is naturally to go to the sewers to arrest people, and when it is done, the system should send a notification that the main quest is completed, and the dungeon will end perfectly.

An Yizhi didn't regret his choice, and by the way, he also remembered why the serial killer knew him.

When he first played the level 25 growth dungeon, when he was in the Arcane Prison, An Yizhi once saw a half-orc prisoner with cute rabbit ears on his head, and he always gave An Yizhi a very dangerous feeling, and it seemed to have a bad hand for him.

Although I forgot about it later because I got the Eye of Kronos and the copy was completed, I think about it now, that serial killer is the guy I met in Offa Prison. (See Chapter 396~428 for details)

The difference is only that at level 25, An Yizhi may not be very easy to fight when he touches him, and now that guy may not be able to hold up three rounds in front of An Yizhi......

As for whether the final item was caught by the guards, there is no way to know.

The side quest was not completed, and it was a normal difficulty dungeon, and the difficulty did not increase in the process, and it was even too low for the difficulty of this level of dungeon, so the settlement reward was very fucked.

With only 20,000 experience, it's still very early to level up.

It's useless to draw rewards, it's just an elite-level weapon, and Ann fed Hela with a finger.

However, it is not completely without a gain worth mentioning, at least the gems ordered from the gem psychedelic were directly delivered to An Yizhi according to the effect of the magic contract.

This gem is not a reward for side quests, but a reward for signing a bodyguard contract with Kara, although he is very incompetent as a bodyguard, but the contract is a contract, and it will not be discounted because of his stroke.

【Source of the Earth】

Attributes: Strange objects/materials

Grade: Perfect

Effect: This item must be embedded into the equipment before it can be used, and after being inlaid it will obtain Immersion, Earth Shield, and Rock Seal, increasing the power and effect of Earth Elemental Spells.

Description: An artificial magic gem crafted by the master gem Clark, but with mediocre results due to the rush of work.

Not only is the effect mediocre, but this thing can be considered a perfection-level item quite reluctantly, much worse than the eye of glacier and the heart of lava that are now embedded in the staff.

This made Ann Yizhi feel like he had been fooled by the old dwarf, and it wasn't until he asked Hela what the three spells on the gem were working on.

All three spells are spells, with Immersion being an E-rank spell with a similar range of effect to the commonly used greasy spells, except that Immersion creates a quagmire that restricts movement.

Of course, because it's an E-class spell, the deepest part of the mud created is only up to the thigh, but the sticky mud blocking effect is pretty good, and if you don't believe it, you can wear rain boots to step on the kind of cement that can submerge your calves and try to see if it's cool.

- Don't ask me how I know......

The earth shield is no stranger, and the Seven Killing Stars are often used, and the defense power as a D-level spell is relatively acceptable, but the spell that comes with the gem cannot be upgraded, and it is far less powerful than the real spell skill.

It is worth mentioning that the Earth Shield and the Earth Shield are two different spells, the former is spell and the latter is alchemy. The effect looks similar, but the Earth Shield requires the caster's hands to be pressed on the ground to activate, and the Earth Shield does not have this restriction, but the defensive range and effect are not as good as the Earth Shield, and the previous serial killer used to block the ball lightning was also the alchemy Earth Shield.

The final Rock Seal is the key to the gem's Perfection rating, as the Rock Seal is a B-rank spell that controls rock attacks around the caster, burying the target and applying the seal.

In terms of sealing ability, it is not as good as the level but more professional high-level sealing technique, and in terms of attack power, it seems that it is not as good as other B-level plastic energy spells that wash the floor, so it can only be said to be a panacea.

This is also the standard configuration of the spell system, saying that Clark is still true and sincere, An Yi pointed to the ability requirements of control and defense, and he really copied it completely......
