Chapter 201: Crossroads

"Throw him out," Li Weilun said viciously, and the two staff members each lifted one of the synthetic alchemists' hands that had crawled onto the table, dragged him to the ground, and dragged him mercilessly out the door. For these staff working at the bottom of the school city, "scholars" are a title that they can look up to for a lifetime, but today they are dragged to the ground without dignity like other experimental livestock.

This is the consequence of forcibly activating the "control" alchemy array. For a war beast with five souls, it is no longer something that a simple alchemy array can control. If you do it reluctantly, you will be counterattacked.

Now everyone can see the drawbacks: while controlling the behemoth, the soul of the synthetic alchemist is permanently imprisoned in the body of the war behemoth, and perhaps after the incident subsides, under the research of many scholars, there is still the possibility of restoration, but now this hope has also been extinguished with the ashes of the behemoth.

The synthetic alchemist is dead, and the soul is extinguished, which is a real death, and there is no possibility of resurrection. Seeing the corpse being dragged away like a dead dog, the Fullmetal Alchemist, who was not quite right with him, couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.

The rabbit is sad and the fox is sad, not to mention that the status of scholars is second only to university scholars and bachelors, but the qualitative gap makes their importance in the eyes of university scholars not much higher than that of low-level staff. This is the rule of alchemy city iron: under the bachelor are all ants. Perhaps, the important point of "scholars" is very limited compared to other things.

Thinking of this, the Fullmetal Alchemist couldn't help but look at the biochemical alchemist on the side, but he, who was also a scholar, looked indifferent, and there was no trace of sadness at all.

"It's time for me to play!" The biochemical alchemist stood up suddenly, holding the eight-character beard.

As the acting city lord, Li Weilun disdained to deal with these self-confident scholars, but his repeated failures forced him to rely on the last alchemist - if his people couldn't stop it, then his acting city lord was almost done.

So Li Weilun reluctantly put up a smile and said, "Then I will have you to work." ”

……

Finally passing through the exit of the damn secret room, through a passage that is neither long nor short, what suddenly appears in front of the three of them is the three roads leading to the left and right. This is a crossroads, and the long passage is bottomless, and I don't know which way to go. Renault had a hunch that if they made a mistake, they would be greeted by a death trap.

At this time, Medilia clicked on the map, and only one route traveled by three people was shown on the dark area map, and it was pitch black all around, which was an unknown area that had not yet been taken. The location where the three are now is in the center of the map.

After confirming this, Medilia took the lead in the center of the crossroads, holding a light blue crystal ball in her slender hands, which shone in a brilliant blue glow under the magical light of the four walls.

Huo Sen exclaimed: "Perceiving the crystal ball? Isn't this an E-rank exchange? Medelia, do you want to ......?"

"Not bad!" The ice beauty stretched out her finger to the top of the crystal ball, and the blue crystal ball instantly bloomed with blue light and spread around, instantly affecting everything as far as the eye could see.

When the blue light penetrated his body, Renault had a surprised expression, which is a kind of resonance that can only be felt between sensory players. Contained in that all-pervading light is the energy of perception.

In less than five seconds, the blue crystal ball quickly dimmed, and before Renault and Huo Sen could turn their gaze, the crystal ball fell apart.

Huo Sen's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "This is the end of the E-level exchange?" ”

Medilia said lightly, "It's done with its mission." With that, he clicked on the game interface again and switched to the map column. The map, which was pitch black just now, was now centered on the location of the three of them, and almost half of the darkness was invaded by light. The unknown area was actually under the surveillance of the trio.

Is this what the perceptual crystal ball really does?

As an E-class exchange, it doesn't seem to match the price of 500,000 gold coins on the black market, but any item has its value, and the important thing is how to use it.

In a castle full of dangers, every step forward is like walking on thin ice, and the unknown always hides unknown traps. Even if the main members of the Cross Alliance are dispatched, they must fill those unknown areas with a sea of people, and then the commander will adjust the tactics. At the beginning, the Holy Shield Knights who participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the Alchemy Academy at the headquarters of Ebudera still remember vividly, how tragic that battle was, the Cross Alliance paid the price of 100 lives to obtain a detailed map of the headquarters of the Academy, and only then did the guild elite break through the impregnable defense line, and finally expel the scholar and his lackeys from Ebudera.

The rarity of the Perceptual Crystal Ball is no worse than that of A-rank exchange, and it only occasionally appears in the sacrifice option, and every time it appears, it will be accompanied by another Divine Grace option, so the result must be to choose the more practical one without exception. A one-time exchange, few people are willing to spend 500,000 gold coins worth of sacrifices in this area.

The shortcomings of one-time consumption, coupled with the limitations of use, are destined to perceive that the crystal ball is neglected by players, and it is really so hard that it is used to hate the original passing by. Even the powerful Cross Alliance, realizing its importance before attacking the headquarters of the academy, had no choice but to give up after more than a hundred sacrifices due to the depletion of sacrifices.

Then, the Cross Alliance, which suffered heavy casualties in the First Battle of the School City, began to pay attention to the importance of the crystal ball. The guildmaster proposed that any guild member who encounters the "Sense Crystal Ball" option during a sacrifice must give up their own personal interests and choose it.

Of course, as a wealthy Cross Alliance, it will not treat the members who turn in the Perception Crystal Ball badly, in addition to returning an E-level sacrifice, it will also increase the corresponding guild contribution and a bonus of 100,000 yuan. So, after more than ten days of accumulation, the Cross Alliance finally gathered three crystal balls. This number is very staggering, you must know that among the official members of the Cross League, there are thousands of them, plus the number of non-staff personnel like Huo Sen who have not been regularized before, almost 10,000.

Those non-staff personnel even took out a few private treasures for sacrifice without hesitation, as long as they were successfully exchanged, then in addition to the additional 100,000 gold coins, the guild contribution was enough for them to become official members of the Cross Alliance, and the extra contribution was enough to be promoted to the position of squad leader. However, there are only three Perceptual Crystal Balls with a rarity no less than A-level sacrifices, and they are stored in the guild's vault as strategic materials.

I can't think of Medilia having a copy of it privately, you know, no one is allowed to use the strategic materials in the vault without the approval of the guildmaster and the other four vice presidents.

Although Medilia is the vice president, after all, she is still a young member of the Cross Alliance, and her connections and accumulation are far inferior to those of the other three colleagues, and her real value in the alliance lies in the special profession of "magician". In terms of action, because she is too persistent, she has not been fully approved by her three colleagues, let alone let her take the perception crystal ball.

Huo Sen, who knew the inside story, couldn't help asking, "Where did you get this crystal ball?" ”

Medilia pouted and said, "Where else can it come from, naturally it was obtained through sacrifice?" ”

"How is that possible?" Huo Sen exclaimed, putting aside the small probability of winning the lottery, even if it is really exchanged, according to the rules of the alliance, it must be handed over, once the private collector is discovered, he will be punished by extremely serious rules, and the most serious will be expelled from the Cross Alliance.

However, in the face of the alliance's lucrative returns, no fool would risk a heavy penalty for his own possession. In addition, the Perception Crystal Ball must play a big role in team battles, which makes those who dare to disobey the order give up this kind of easily reported behavior.

"You're crazy, if someone reports it, your position as vice president may not be guaranteed!"

Medilia said coldly: "Is it you who report or he who reports." As she spoke, Orchid pointed to Renault on the side.

The Demon Swordsman who had just recovered from a serious illness couldn't help but be stunned, his previous alertness was delayed for a full two seconds at this moment, and then he shrugged helplessly: "I'm not a member of the Cross Alliance, why should I betray you?" After saying that, his left elbow hit Huo Sen's ribs, and he lowered his voice and said, "Do you want to lose your magic when you are seriously injured?" ”

Huo Sen suddenly realized, and secretly cursed his own stupidity in his heart: questioning the decision of a magician on the front line of the battle is not the same as seeking death.

Simply, Medilia didn't mind the defeat just now, and looked at the display interface in front of her solemnly: because the position she occupied was in the center of the castle, this was undoubtedly to maximize the effect of the perception crystal, and more than half of the unknown area was displayed. The circular perception area suddenly appeared in front of the three of them, although the black area outside the circle could not be seen, but according to the existing place, it was enough to judge the next step.

Medilia stared at the map, tapping on the interface from time to time to zoom in on the area of the map that needed more information. If she wants, the location of the area is even visualized in 3D stereoscopic mode.

Eventually, Finger moved away from the map interface and pointed towards the crossroads. Lei and Huo understood that it would be their next battle base. Suddenly, Renault saw Medelia's graceful figure tremble, and her fingers froze in mid-air.

"What's wrong?" Renault asked with concern.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Medilia replied with some hesitation.

Renaud knew that there must be an article in it, and followed Medilia's gaze, only to see that her focus was concentrated on the left. Renault immediately clicked on his map to show that because of the sharing relationship, he had an area where he could see the detection of the perceptual crystal ball. When I clicked and zoomed in, I didn't find anything special, but it was made up of many labs.

Is there a problem here? Thinking of this, Renaud looked at Medelia again, only to see that she looked distracted.

Huo Sen didn't notice the abnormality of the ice beauty, his mind was full of battle, and the pain on his body also distracted him a lot: "Medelia, which way are we going?" ”
