CHAPTER XLV

A few days later, Su Yuan walked out of a rented warehouse with a disgraced face. He had a pained look on his face. Apparently, his attempt to study magic failed.

In his understanding, magic should be a technique for manipulating free energy in the air with mental power. After he had psychic intervention, the mental strength was definitely enough. So it is only natural to prepare to practice magic.

His system only allowed him to gain some innate abilities, or the power of the bloodline. But magic is still very attractive after all. Since his spiritual power was enough, Su Yuan certainly wanted to learn it. It's a pity that the learning failed.

After carefully reading the magic book, he realized that all the magic in the book was bloodline magic. Except for some potions, which ordinary people can configure. All other effects require a magical constitution to take effect. This made Su Yuan's egg extremely painful, and after tossing for a long time, he still had to kill a witch or a male witch.

But witches aren't like werewolf otters, they're everywhere. There's only one Adeline he's met so far. Adeline's mother and Renard's mother are both witches, but these two are not very easy to deal with. There is no news of the mature male witch in the later period. The key is that Su Yuan suspects that even if he encounters it, he may not be able to fight it.

In the original book, that guy is not like other parallel witches, except for the telekinesis is to pour a little potion or something. He had displayed a variety of abilities, and even holding Adeline's hand could petrify her whole body. Obviously, this man didn't just rely on his talent to eat, but also really studied magic. If it weren't for the rampant hanging in the later stage, he estimated that the team would have wiped out the protagonist team.

After tossing for a few days, Su Yuan was also a little tired. He simply put these things aside for the time being, and began to do his best to assist Nick in building his network.

It's not that you have to report the protagonist's thigh or something. The establishment of a network of relationships, and even a secret society, is mainly to fight against the Black Claws that appeared in the later period. Before the appearance of the demon god of that other world, Darkclaw was undoubtedly the most threatening. Even in Su Yuan's eyes, the Dark Claw was much more dangerous than that evil god.

After all, the other party doesn't seem to have the intention of ruling the world, but just wants to complete the artifact in his hand, and at the same time take away the children of luck in this world (Adeline's two children in the later period). Even if Su Yuan can't kill him, it's a big deal to dodge. But Darkclaw is different, this thing can't be avoided.

This organization has been laid out for decades, and there is no need for Su Yuan to take the initiative to provoke, as long as he continues to hunt down those powerful Weisen, he will definitely be discovered by the other party. And the boss of the dark claw is one of Su Yuan's ultimate goals, and there is no possibility of coexistence between the two. That's why Su Yuan had to prepare in advance. Whether it's the power of the bright side or the dark side, you have to reserve some. In case there is no way to fight back.

On the bright side, it's Renard. Su Yuan needed him to climb to a higher position as much as possible. At the very least, spread the influence throughout Portland so that there is room for maneuver.

And Nick is needed in the shadows. As a new-age Green, Su Yuan plans to subdue Nick to subdue several large groups of Wesson around him. There is no need for them to have high combat effectiveness, all Su Yuan wants is eyeliner. Eyeliner all over the streets.

For example, the previous otter people, manual work (as mentioned earlier, they all do some work such as water, electricity, flooring, painting, etc.), are active in various families in the city. The Pig Man runs most of the mid-range restaurants in the city. Nezumi can be found in small waterways, slums, and various low-level criminal groups.

If these forces are used well, it will be an enlarged version of the masses in Chaoyang District. And these forces need to have a sign. Su Yuan, who believes in obscenity, will certainly not come forward to make this symbol. All that's left is Nick.

Nick did what Su Yuan said and asked the otter clan for help. Originally, he didn't have much hope. But unexpectedly, within two days, the other party gave the news.

The otter named Bard came to the door in person.

"We've got some news. Someone saw a person who was very similar to what you said, haunting the old industrial area in the east of the city. But the exact place is not known. You know that the place is abandoned, full of old factories, and our people don't dare to go in and look for it. ”

"No, no, it's already very good, Bud. Thank you very much, and don't go into any further investigation. I'll take care of the rest. Nick sent Bud away, then called Suyuan and Hank.

Half an hour later, the three met at Nick's home.

"I got the news that the killer should be hiding in the old industrial area in the east of the city. It's a complicated place, and I need help. ”

"Of course I have no problem. A Grimm killer, I'd love to meet those guys too. But you're sure you want Hank to go. I'll warn you that Grimm Killer isn't on the same level as the werewolves or bumblebees you've encountered before. They are all high-level hunters among the creatures of Visen. The most important thing is that these guys are generally specially trained. ”

"What do you mean, Sue. Do you look down on my three years of military service in Afghanistan? Hank felt uncomfortable, Su Yuan's meaning made it clear that he was not qualified to join it. But as a man, a warrior, seeing that this fantastic adventure is just around the corner, how can he stay at home obediently.

"Well, when I didn't say it. But before we go, let's pick some weapons. Of course, you can also use a gun. But IMHO, that industrial area is not as far from the city as it seems. It can be a hassle with a gun. Not to mention that we also don't have so many unregistered weapons and ammunition. ”

"So, we're going on an adventure of swords and sorcery?" Hank clearly didn't expect this to happen.

"You still have to bring a gun. But let's do a little bit of other preparation. ”

At Su Yuan's insistence, Nick and Hank are forced to choose two weapons from the trailer. Nick opted for a half-sword, while Hank simply got an axe. Su Yuan also chose a dagger made of obsidian among them.

He didn't need such a weapon, but tried to study what kind of obsidian was that often appeared in various mystical side stories.

Old Town, inside an abandoned factory building. Two white men carrying giant long boxes are converging here.

"Why did it take so long?"

"Sorry, I picked up a little bit of other work halfway through. You get a fifth more commission this time, how. ”

"A quarter." The other party said expressionlessly.

"Okay, a quarter. Anyway, you should have figured out what information we need. ”

"Of course, I've figured out all of Green's activity routes, and we can do it tomorrow night."

"I heard that he killed Holda, is it true?"

"It's true, but with a gun. And the old guy was there at the time. ”

"Then it's no problem, the two of us will shoot together, and he will die."
