As the many alchemy scouting birds dispersed like a dark cloud, Astrid hurried to the twelfth floor of the tower in a whirlwind.

Hoggs raised his head slowly, grinned his dry lips, and showed a mocking smile at Asted: "Why, isn't Metis's wisdom omnipotent, and after all, people still find here?"

Asted's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "Even if the Goddess of Wisdom makes a mistake, it will not prove that your choice is correct. ”

Hoggs twisted his neck, and said impatiently, "What else?" I'd rather stay here for another twenty years than say a word to you. ”

Astrid took a deep breath and tried to clear Hoggs's past annoying behavior out of his head, so that he felt able to say a few words to him normally, "Do you know who the two invading men are?"

"How could I possibly know?" said Hoggs's face with even more impatience. As soon as the two of them came in, they saw through the effect of this cage in a few words, and after reading the information, they ran away like the wind, not to mention that the two of them were still wearing masks, and not even a single hair was exposed, let alone I wouldn't say a word to you, even if I wanted to reveal something to you, I had nothing to say. ”

Asted's face was gloomy and solemn, and he turned around and was about to leave without saying a word.

Seeing that Astrid was about to leave, Hoggs started talking again.

"Isn't your secret technique of information blockade known as unfathomable, how can you let others guess it at once? ”

Hoges had a malicious smile on his face.

Aster paused in his steps, pinched his white fingers, turned his back to Hoggs, and said, "You don't have to sow discord here, our faith in the goddess has been tested. ”

"Really?" Hoggs exclaimed, "Then how do you explain that this information cage has been guessed? Could it be that this man's wisdom is still above Metis? Hmph, if Metis had chosen me in the first place, she would have expanded into a god system long ago, and then these little tricks would have been needed." ”

Astrid shook his head: "After more than twenty years here, you still can't change your conceit, and you don't take the Goddess of Wisdom's admonition to heart at all. ”

With that, Astrid vanished into another ripple of space, leaving Hoggs talking to himself in his cage.

"Conceited? hehe, it was all from years ago. But the ability to move in space is really rare, and delaying this little time is enough for you to run, right?"

In what he said just now, Hoggs seemed to be in peace, but in fact he had ulterior motives and missed the most important point of information, that is, Leo's spatial mobility ability.

In the early morning, as soon as Omoni and his party had finished breakfast, the attendant kept urging them to the top of the tower, and in the midst of Omoni's repeated complaints, they sat in the slippery wheelchair again.

The Council of Five was still the same, and Asted sat in the middle, half-bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry to call you so early, but we only have the time to get together and discuss something with you." ”

At this time, Omoni changed into a good old man's appearance, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the guest is as he pleases." You don't mind if I take my companions, do you?"

Astrid nodded, and said, "Who wouldn't want to know the mighty Sanctuary warriors, but it might be a little difficult for me to take care of them." ”

Omoni raised an eyebrow and asked, "I don't know why?"

Astrid stood up, smiled, and said, "Do you remember yesterday that we said we were going to give you two small gifts? ”

Unexpected.

Leo touched his chin, he thought that he had brought them here so early in the morning for the matter of the tower last night, but he didn't expect that it was actually to discuss alchemy creations.

But Isenas didn't look waveless, and Leo couldn't help muttering to himself, this guy understands again?

Omoni reacted immediately, and without showing surprise, he pulled Nana and little Paul up and came to discuss it.

Aster pulled out a stack of drawings and said to Hestim, "Please take care of these warriors." Then he and Omoni got into a heated discussion.

Hurstim smiled and beckoned, "What would you like to drink, tea, coffee, or wine?"

"Coffee, it's too early, needs a pick-me-up. Isenas picked up.

As soon as Hurstim waved his arm on the table, several cups of coffee appeared in front of them.

Esenus took a sip and asked in surprise, "You're also a mage?"

"Of course not, the Chosen One can borrow some of the power of the gods they believe in, so they can do things that look magical. Hurstim pressed his hands on the canon and explained.

Isenus nodded: "This is also a great ability. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. ”

"You look young, I guess, sixteen?"

Hestim laughed softly and said, "The youngest here is Evans, she is only in her forties, and the oldest is Samiha, as a dwarf, he was born with a lifespan of two hundred years, and he is just over middle age in his early 100s. ”

"Then you..."

"I'm in my fifties, but as the Chosen One, with the protection of the goddess of wisdom, I can live forever. Hestim clasped his hands together and said a short greeting to the goddess of wisdom.

"No wonder you look so young. Isenas complimented him in a timely manner. "So you're familiar with the history of Artisan Town?"

"Of course, not to mention that this is the place of resurrection of the goddess of wisdom, and as the chosen one, you should know more about this place. ”

"The Land of Recovery?"

"Yes, the goddess of wisdom is a god who has risen from the distant river of history, and this is the place where she will ascend to the throne after her resurrection. You seem curious about this place?"

Isenus nodded and said, "Indeed, what I'm more curious about is that qualification, why only people who hold certain assets are allowed to enter here?"

Hurstim smiled and touched the tome in his hand: "This is the decision of the goddess of wisdom, and we didn't understand it at the time, but now we all understand. ”

"At the beginning, Artisan Town was just a small workshop established by a few alchemists on this uninhabited island in the middle of the lake, and it was also the prototype of the alchemy tower. Gradually, their research began to bear fruit, and the fame of the place spread, and people continued to visit it, and the size of the artisan town grew. With the influx of people, Artisan Town is no longer a place for pure researchers, merchants and arms dealers will come here to find suitable alchemy items, and Artisan Town has also been rumored to be a place full of gold, which attracts many people who should not be here. Such as robbers, thieves, gangsters. ”

At this time, the people who believed in the goddess of wisdom among the research scholars got the divine revelation of the goddess of wisdom, and they united with the arms dealers, controlled the merchants, eliminated robbers and thieves, and strictly restricted the personnel who entered the craftsman town with assets as the boundary, which established the good research atmosphere and product output channels of the craftsman town in one fell swoop, and there was a lot of financial support. Otherwise, if we follow the laws of nature and allow the artisan town to develop freely, this pure land will disappear again, how can there be such a situation where it is famous in the upper class society today?"

Hearing Hestim's brief history, everyone was struck by the determination and foresight of the goddess of wisdom, who were unarmed but managed to build such a neat and efficient research city.

Isenus pondered for a moment and asked, "Don't you know that the Goddess of Wisdom has requirements for her followers?, for example, if I want to believe in the Goddess of Wisdom, will the Goddess accept me?"

Hestim was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Although the goddess does not exclude all kinds of believers, her divine revelation will only shelter researchers who focus on research and neglect social experience, so believing in the goddess is not beneficial to you." ”

Isenas regretted this, but out of admiration for the goddess of wisdom, he still asked for the tome on Hestim's chest.

Hurstim readily agreed.

"Every canon is the same, but the one by my side, which is always bathed in the radiance of the goddess of wisdom, may be of help to you. With a serious face, Hestim handed the canon into the hands of Isenus.

It wasn't until the sun streaked halfway across the sky that Omoni and their deliberations came to a conclusion.

Back in the house, Omoni looked tired, but couldn't hide the joy on his lips.

"What good things did they give?" asked Leo.

Omoni smiled and stroked Nana's hair, and said, "You will be happy too, Leo, they have an alchemy device, which is specially designed to assist the blind in movement, and Nana can also run and jump in the future." ”

Hearing this, Leo was pleasantly surprised, Nana's slow response to the outside world has always been a problem for him, and now that this problem can be alleviated, he can't help but get excited.

Omoni pressed the excited Leo. He said: "But I just finished designing the sketch today, and it will take three to five days to get the actual thing as soon as possible." Esenas, did you find anything over there?"

Isenus nodded and said, "I know where Artisan's secrets about dragons are hidden. ”

Leo was shocked, grabbed Isenas by the sleeve and hurriedly asked, "You know, when, didn't we act together?"

Isenus glanced at Leo and shook off his hand, "If you're willing to look closely, you can see it." ”

"First of all, we know that fifteen floors below the tower, the man named Hoggs opened something called the Spatial Ripper Intruder, which happened to coincide with the time of the dragon's invasion. But what about the dragon's invasion? We have not found any trace of the rebuilding of the town, nor of the books, and the Council of Five has avoided talking about it. Since it is certain that it has happened, then these traces must have been hidden. So where is it hidden?"

"Do you remember the town of Greenlake? We stayed overnight with their family in Luthus. ”

"Of course I do. Leo nodded. "Madame Luther was kind and hospitable, what a rare lady. ”

"Then you must remember that their family believed in the goddess of wisdom, right?"

"Is there anything wrong with that? According to them, most people in Qinghu Town and Artisan Town believe in the goddess of wisdom. ”

Isenus shook his head, pointed to the tome in his hand, and said, "Here's the problem, according to the dogma of the goddess of wisdom, she will only lend a helping hand to the researchers, and ignore the other believers, so why should these merchants believe in the goddess of wisdom? ”

"And remember our previous speculation that Artisan Town was involved in the development of Qinghu Town. ”

"All these signs point out that Qinghu Town is by no means a product of chance, and it is absolutely necessary for us to go back to Qinghu Town to find out. ”

Leo pondered for a long time before he nodded and said, "Then when are we going?"

"Tonight. Isenus replied firmly.

"Tonight?" Leo was a little surprised. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Esenas sneered, looked back at the Alchemy Tower, and said, "Why do you think they are holding Omoni for so long today? I'm sure that during this time, the security level of Artisan Town must have been mentioned to the highest, Old Mo, did they tell you about the fifteenth floor of the tower today?"

"Of course, when they mentioned a certain technology, they regretted the technology of the lower fifteenth layer, and I followed suit. ”

"That's what they're trying to test you. ”

"Tempt me, why?" Omoni pointed at himself with a puzzled expression. "What temptation do I have?"

"It all starts with our dock in Qinghu Town. ”

The docks in Qinghu Town? Everyone looked at each other, of course, they had forgotten about such a long time ago, and Isenus still remembered it clearly.

"At that time, the sword that the guard tested was aimed at Lao Mo's head, which shows that the craftsman town is not all respectful of mages. It is even possible that some mages have done something harmful to Artisan Town, which makes Artisan Town wary of mages. As soon as we arrived in Artisan Town, the Council of Five hurriedly approached us. ”

"So in their eyes, last night's incident, Lao Mo, your suspicion is the biggest now, not because you made any dangerous moves, but because they can only see you alone on the bright side that you have the ability to enter the core of the tower. In this case, the first thing they have to do is rule you out of suspicion. ”

"If it was really Lao Mo who infiltrated the tower last night, what would you do after hearing them reveal the special features of the tower?"

Omoni touched his bald head and said, "I'll stay out of here, after all, I'm so suspicious now, I shouldn't make any more moves to arouse their vigilance." ”

"Wrong!" said Isennas categorically. "You're going to explore this place now, which is in line with a mage's reaction to accidentally learning a secret. If you deliberately avoid it, you're telling them that you're yesterday's infiltrator, or at least have something to do with it. ”

"But of course, you can't actually go to the Tower, I need you to use your spells to confuse them and pretend to go to the Tower to investigate. Our real goal is to return to Qinghu Town from the water in the middle of the night, and kill them back to Qinghu Town while they are increasing their martial law on Artisan Town and neglecting the defense on the other end. ”

"We beat them up on time!"
