After talking for a while, Austin and the others said goodbye to Norn and set off back to Apocalypse City.

After everyone left, a large shadow suddenly bulged in a room, and a burly figure gradually appeared in the place where Austin was standing and looking at the jade just now. The figure was wearing a black cloak, and the moment he raised his head, his eyes were a thick blood color that had not yet faded.

The customer who had been standing by and watching did not speak from beginning to end, and even Austin and the others consciously ignored him, but when they saw the black figure, it was like a great enemy, and the purple mist was steaming all over the body, and the bluestone under his feet began to bubble as if it had turned into a black mud swamp.

"Demons, swamps and purple clouds...... The little guy of the Purple Winged Lion Family, I didn't expect that there would be demons who could walk on the continent again, it's really rare. ”

The demon was like a silent rock, and a stream of black mud suddenly flowed onto his hand, and as soon as it touched the air, it gradually solidified, forming a monstrous and strange giant blade.

The dark shadow watched as he finished casting the spell before saying, "I'm not interested in you. , Norn and I have something to talk about. ”

The demon stared at him for a while, but the shadow was not, showing the slightest impatience, but the blood under his eyes that had gradually receded gradually became stronger, and the sudden smell of blood in the room was the same as that of Austen.

Finally, the demon took two steps back, and suddenly melted into the stone wall, completely disappearing.

"The kids are pretty cautious these days, but your little one says you seem to be old. ”

The black shadow could still only see the scarlet eyes, and the face was obviously very clear, but it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black fog, and the expression could not be seen clearly when he looked closely. The black shadow shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Although that child has lived longer than me, according to the long lifespan of the demon family, it should be considered a minor, right?"

"Okay, okay, that's not the point..... I'll say what you told me as it is, shouldn't your smuggling caravan line belong to me?"

"Of course, but this blue jade must be handed over to Austin one by one, and you can't keep any of them. ”

Norn pulled a smile on his face that could scare the child into tears, and said, "Don't worry, the reputation of my Fangtooth tribe is also well-known among the wolf clan, unlike those hypocritical bats. ”

The shadow reintegrated into the shadows, and as it was about to fade, Norn suddenly said, "How are you thinking about that? The forces controlled by our new party can completely make you sit ...... sit."

At this moment, the black shadow suddenly flashed, and Norn turned his head slightly to avoid a thin stream of blood, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

On the way back to Apocalypse City, Austin easily killed a group of unsightly bandits, and as soon as he passed the gate of Apocalypse City, he hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, and carried a box of cold jade into the cultivation room.

Picking up one of the smaller finished jades, Austin felt the blue flame hidden deep in his veins beating with his pulse. Austin took the cold jade, and was a little difficult for a while, and finally got these things, but he didn't know how to use them.

Tentatively released a light blue flame, the flame coiled around the cold jade like a thin spirit snake, and then swam back to Austin's body, and suddenly, Austin felt a cold energy melt into his body.

Austin took off the blindfold that covered his right eye, and the blue and white storm inside seemed to be stimulated by something. As soon as his heart moved, a stream of flames directly wrapped the cold jade, and in an instant, streams of cold energy poured into his body. However, this energy does not cause any discomfort, but rather feels like holding a block of ice in the middle of summer, which is extremely comforting.

Austin felt it carefully, although the source power did not increase much, but there was a tingling sensation in his body, as if it was faintly transformed and strengthened.

The ability of the fighting system is a bonus on the basis of the original body, and the stronger the body, the better the effect of the bonus. Austin was able to fight a lone coyote alone in the wilderness when he didn't ignite the node, and his physical fitness was naturally excellent, although he didn't have exaggerated muscles, but his well-proportioned body gave him a strong explosive power.

After a few moments, the blue color on the cold jade completely melted into Austin's body, gradually turning into a warm cyan. This texture of jade also has a high artistic value, but for Austin, it has lost its meaning.

Austin, who was still unsatisfied, grabbed the remaining cold jade and refined all the energy contained in it, and the blue flame seemed to have developed from quantitative to qualitative change, and the faint blue added to the sky-like blue, which was a sign that had been urged to the extreme before. This blue color does not have the brightness of the clear sky, but has a hint of the depth of the abyss.

Austin had a feeling in his heart that if all the flames evolved into azure blue, it might be a complete evolution.

When the flames converged, Austin found that there seemed to be a very small crystal in his sea of consciousness, and if it weren't for the tide of consciousness in his inner vision, he might not have been able to find it. Although the crystals are as small as dust, the blue flame in the body is faintly headed by them, and there is an inexplicable sense of closeness.

Is this the source of the Blue Flame?

A week later, Austin got a second shipment, and Norn was very honest enough to use the same quality of cold jade, and the quality of the rough was a little higher than the previous box.

After absorbing this batch, the crystals in the sea of knowledge gradually revealed a round appearance, surrounded by the blue flame stars like the moon, like the people meeting the most noble king.

At the same time, Austin's physical strength has finally improved slightly, although the increase is not large, but it has been detached from the initial numbness, and he can clearly feel the explosive power contained in his body constantly agitating.

While Austin was waiting for the second shipment, one was assigned various tasks one after another, most of which were to encircle and suppress heretics.

Due to the infiltration of the barbarian forces discovered before, the Inquisition has been extremely busy recently, and Austin has worked very hard during this period of time, almost rushing to accept the task and submit the mission, and sometimes he has not returned to the wilderness with a private job, and it is difficult to see him even in the main building of the Operations Department. However, when von Lantlin urged the action report, he was always able to submit it in time, and von Lantlin did not say anything more.

These days, the dark shadow that appeared in the small shop of Sharp Teeth has been silently watching Austin's every move, seeing that he has no intention of going to Cold River City, and even the mission of the Inquisition about going by airship does not seem to arouse his interest.

The doubts in the dark shadow's heart were about to explode, but what he didn't know was that Austin didn't want to go to Cold River City, but that he was in a dilemma - he was short of money.
