Barnes clearly shouldn't have such an IQ.

This sentence is not just Xu Nan's complaint, it contains Xu Nan's true thinking.

You should know that although intelligence points are not exactly equivalent to IQ, there is a close positive correlation between the two sides; From the perspective of the natives of the general world, 14 points of intelligence are indeed excellent, but they are only at the level of the mage's apprentice.

If you want to go further in your spell learning, 16 or more intelligence points is almost a must.

If Barnes really had such a strong talent, Stephen Sand, who was close at hand, would not turn a blind eye.

Therefore, if all this is really as Barnes said, everything is under his control and calculation, I am afraid there will be a big problem!

Xu Nan didn't believe that Barnes, the Ice Man, was a conspirator of McCann's level - unless, he had access to additional information.

And this channel is not visible.

Thinking of this, Xu Nan's mood became a little heavier.

The trip to the Mage Tower made him sure that the God of Seven Blood had not yet awakened, so what was the force behind it that controlled or twisted the mind of the head of Sebalon?

In this cold wasteland, are there any secrets that you have not discovered?

……

After sending Banes away, Xu Nan chose to be alone for a while.

From today on, he is the rightful Lord of Wildfire City - as long as he doesn't turn against Barnes for a day, his position as a puppet City Lord should still be very secure.

It's a pity that from the beginning, Xu Nan didn't plan to cooperate well with Barnes.

Including the agreement signed by the two parties, he wrote it in pencil - it's just a repetition, and if you want to regret it when the time comes, it's not just an eraser.

From Theron wine to the plantation to the god of blood in the swamp of living corpses, Xu Nan once thought that he had caught the truth of the matter, but now it seems that the truth is much deeper than he imagined.

Either way, sooner or later, it will be revealed.

Xu Nan looked at the delicate invitation on the table and showed a sneer.

Now that he has regarded Wildfire City as something in his pocket, anyone who wants to control or trouble this place will add to the blockage of Xu City Lord's road to prosperity, and at this time, he will not be polite.

That's an emerald mine!

Xu Nan, who has lived on Earth for 20 years, deeply understands the importance of resources.

"Next weekend...... Mudon's Day? ”

Xu Nan recalled Barnes's solemn tone when he handed over the invitation to him, and couldn't help but smile playfully.

A week is enough time for Barnes to eradicate dissent within the family, right?

In the past few days, Xu Nan has also heard from some gossip in the brothel that Young Master Barnes has caused a panic within the Sebalon family, but these panics have been completely suppressed by his thunderous methods.

People say that Wildfire City is about to change.

Most people have a pretty good opinion of Barnes.

After all, there were few Ice Plains people who were as calm, wise, and polite as him, and many people secretly hoped that this young man could sit in the position of the city lord of Wildfire City, rather than Xu Nan, a puppet from the quicksands.

It's a pity that they don't know the turbulent undercurrent behind all this.

Xu Nan had a hunch that the evening party of the Mudan Festival might be the time when everything broke out.

If no one stops it, I'm afraid things will get out of hand!

"It depends on when the lab results come out."

Xu Nan was also a little helpless.

It stands to reason that Paradise Lost's laboratory has a good reputation internally.

But he submitted Mirlaku for so long and never got a complete analysis report, which once made Xu Nan doubt their work attitude.

After all, the strange conditions of Barnes and Theron are all Xu Nan's own speculations, and there is no definite evidence to support them.

Even if Xu Nan firmly believes that there is something wrong with Barnes, he can't find a theoretical support - the God of Seven Blood was originally the best object, but now he is obediently surrendering to the obscenity of the God of Poverty; The Bloodworshippers don't seem to have anything to do with the Botanical Gardens.

Could it be some other evil god?

This is even more unlikely.

Without information support, too much thinking can only bring troubles, and Xu Nan himself is a little big.

It was at this time that Paradise Lost suddenly received good news.

[I have detected that you have become the lord of Wildfire City, and the rewards of the first phase have begun to be distributed, please pay attention to check the ......]

[Because the existence of the emerald mine was confirmed, the Wildfire City score was raised, and in view of the difficulty of mining the emerald mine, your final city lord score is 13,000 points......]

Xu Nan opened the Elite City Lord Plan Leaderboard and glanced at it, then closed it in boredom.

"There's no one who can fight!"

He faintly pretended to be a lonely.

There is no way, the score of 13,000 is enough for him to ride the dust, and the next few cities of Ron Warlock are not as good as him, which shows the huge value hidden in Wildfire City.

And the reward of the first stage made his heart flutter.

The reward is divided into two parts, the first part is about the rating reward, which is a real blood mixture!

The bloodline mixture is the product of the fusion and refining of a large number of bloodline fruits, and generally only the bigwigs of the fourth stage will take it cautiously to improve the level, but now Xu Nan can't manage it so much, he is about to take charge of a city rich in resources, although the feeling of the fox and the fake tiger is also great, but his own strength cannot be pulled down.

Xu Nan decided to take the blood combination on the spot to improve the level - the matter of taking drugs to brush the level did not have any psychological burden for Xu Nan, after all, we are not cultivating immortals, and we have no demons or anything.

The other part is a [Primary Construction Treasure Chest], which contains a large amount of money, wood, stone, metal, etc., etc.; This thing is usually the standard for Ron Warlocks to build cities in the secondary plane, and the situation is more complicated in the main material realm, but Xu Nan is confident that with these materials, he can better deal with Wildfire City.

He locked the door of the lord's bedroom, stared at the sticky object like ketchup for a moment, and then slowly unscrewed the cap and licked it, and it was really tomato-flavored.

Knock knock, Xu Nan swallowed the blood mixture in a big gulp.

Soon, an abnormal situation occurred in his body - the heat gushed out like an explosion, and if he was replaced by someone else, he might have exploded because this energy was too strong, but he had a gluttonous nature, so he didn't realize it.

A few more farts at most!

Feeling the surging power in his body, Xu Nan showed a little intoxication, and his expression was very firm:

"What's wrong with a few more farts for the sake of power?"

He looked at the data that was constantly refreshing, and even adjusted the sitting position of his hips to better excrete intestinal gas.

Half an hour later.

Xu Nan walked out of the bedroom comfortably, but in the corners of the corridor and hall, he found a large number of small creatures such as cockroaches and rats, and even a weasel!

Xu Nan looked at the old maid in surprise: "What's going on?" ”

The old man took off his dirty mask tremblingly, and just wanted to say something, but fainted directly.

……

Soon, the poison gas incident in the City Lord's Mansion spread throughout Wildfire City.

After Barnes learned of this, it is said that he was furious and ordered that the murderer must be severely punished, and sent a team of people to protect Xu Nan, but Xu Nan politely refused.

At Gray's strong request, he temporarily changed to a hotel, after all, it would take some time for the "poison gas" to dissipate.

"This mixture is too strong."

Although there are not many changes in the data, Xu Nan can feel that he seems to have become more deaf and agile.

The gluttonous nature shows that eighty percent of the power of the bloodline mixture has not been transformed, and it is lurking in Xu Nan's body in another form, and there may be unexpected surprises when he is promoted in the future.

This made him quite satisfied.

At this moment, he was checking the benefits that the blood combination had brought to him.

First of all, of course, it is a direct increase in the level of Ron Warlock - from LV7 to LV8!

In this way, his total level finally reached level 11, reaching the category of a third-order professional.

In view of the remarkable effect of the insight, Xu Nan decided to invest a little in his intelligence after the charm attribute reached the transcendent sainthood! He threw the 1 free attribute point brought by the upgrade to intelligence, so that his intelligence came to 21 points, in fact, if he didn't be lazy and serious, it was really possible to become a mage halfway.

It's just that that's obviously not Xu Nan's style, and his intelligence is purely to improve the effect of [Insight].

196 skill points are naturally retained first, after all, the current skill points he needs are very high, for the people of Wildfire City, 300 points of [intimidation] or [bribery] are not much different from 500 points.

What made Xu Nan more concerned was that the eighth-level Ron Warlock had brought him an additional bloodline talent!

[Bloodline Talent - Force Field Rampage (Passive)]

[Force Field Rampage: You have a unique advantage in force field spells, when you open this talent, all force field spells will be automatically integrated into a new force field compound spell, please name the spell!] 】

"Are all the force field spells mixed together?"

"In other words, the Bileg series of spells has been automatically integrated into one spell?"

Xu Nan frowned, feeling that this description was a bit weird.

He had a sense of foreboding.

As we all know, the Bileg series of spells are all force field melee spells invented by the big guy in order to satisfy his melee wishes, but he is greedy for life and afraid of death...... Now that it's all together, what will it become?

"I thought that the Bileg Group Fight Technique was the pinnacle of this kind of spell."

Anyway, Xu Nan was ready to give it a try.

He took advantage of the darkness to leave the hotel and came to a garbage dump outside Wildfire City.

Based on the spell after the integration, he quietly activated a new type of compound spell!

In the next second, a magical experience emerged from his consciousness.

His whole body suddenly soared into the air.

A thick layer of force field distortion spells slowly swirled through his body, similar to force field armor, but more flexible.

In that instant, he grew four transparent feet, four fists, and four magic hands!

On the tail vertebrae, a pitch-black tail also grows!

"Hell ......"

"How do I name that?"

"Xu Nan's ghost animal technique?"

Before he could finish speaking, a message came from Paradise Lost—

[Compound spell named successfully!] 】

[Congratulations on obtaining Xu Nan's Ghost Animal Technique!] 】
