Anonymous City has just been established, and Xu Nan himself is relatively easy-going.

But the rules of the city lord's office still have to be there.

In fact, there are only a very few people who can break into the office directly without saying hello, among which Jiang Yuan is late, and the other is already in the sky.

In Xu Nan's opinion, Jiang Yuanchi, who suddenly appeared today, was a little different.

She wore glasses rarely, and her expression was much more solemn than before.

Dressed in a hand-made dark gold mage robe, her temperament became more mature in her gestures, and it was not difficult to tell from the arcane runes that flashed under her eyes from time to time that her magic power was becoming more and more refined.

"It's upgraded again." Xu Nan secretly admired in his heart.

Jiang Yuanchi is definitely the most talented mage person he has ever seen, except for Lu Honghong, there is no one!

"Senior Brother Xu Nan!"

"You're finally back."

Seeing that Xu Nan was working, Jiang Yuanchi was obviously relieved, and immediately a look of complaint appeared on his face:

"How can you say that you are also the lord of a city now, and you disappear like this all day long, so you are not afraid that the position of the city lord will be taken over?"

Xu Nan smiled:

"I thought that when the city lord was not there, there would be a chief mage to preside over the overall situation for me."

Jiang Yuanchi was silent for a long time before he realized something:

"Chief Mage...... Isn't that a vain job? ”

Xu Nan coughed: "City Lord, it can also be a false position." ”

Jiang Yuanchi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The two of them conversed in Chinese, and Liuhuo and the others couldn't understand it, so they naturally retreated and gave them space to talk.

"I heard something happened to Stephen Sand?"

Xu Nan asked.

He actually cares about Stephen Sand's situation, after all, in the next plan, Stephen Sand plays a vital role in the development of Anonymous City.

And Jiang Yuanchi's recent situation also made him a little concerned.

After Qin Lele left, he paid more attention to these partners from the earth than before.

"It's a bit much."

Jiang Yuanchi pulled a chair in front of Xu Nan and sat down, and helped the black glasses frame: "The law enforcement team is not enough, so let me go back to help." After two weeks, the matter has not been resolved, and the spell proficiency has increased a lot. ”

Xu Nan can already think about how Jiang Yuanchi enforces the law.

Isn't there an explicit ban on the use of lightning spells in Stephen Sand?

Of course, this kind of thing is just thinking about it, he won't talk nonsense.

Jiang Yuan hurried back to find him, there must be something important.

Sure enough, before chatting a few words, Senior Sister Jiang handed a blue invitation to Xu Nan's table.

"You're getting married to Emma?"

Xu Nan teased, in exchange for Jiang Yuanchi's second white eyes - it seems that after wearing glasses and her eyesight improved, the sharpness of her white eyes also increased.

"This is an invitation to the aurora tide."

Jiang Yuan said sourly:

"The teacher asked me to hand it over to you, although you are not Stephen Sand's mage, but you signed the white paper at the beginning, so you are also qualified to attend."

"Actually, it's just to find an excuse to give you some benefits."

Xu Nan nodded, opened the invitation and looked at it, his expression was a little surprised, and it took a long time to put it away.

"Thank you, Ms. Ansulee, for me."

"I'll definitely be on time."

Xu Nan pinched the invitation letter and said sincerely.

No matter what Ansuli's purpose was, the substantive value of this genuine invitation was so high that Xu Nan was a little surprised.

He didn't even know how to thank Ansuli anymore.

The so-called Aurora Tide is a cosmic astronomical phenomenon that can only be captured near Stephen Sand, and it is reincarnated once every fifty to sixty years, and the intensity of each Aurora Tide is different, but even the lowest intensity [Aurora Tide] in history, there are people who have gained great benefits from it—such as a fivefold increase in mana!

That's right, Aurora Tide is a feast for spellcasters!

According to the description in the invitation, the aurora tide itself is only a natural phenomenon, and it can only be observed because of Stephen Sand's unique geographical location. However, the phenomenon of the aurora tide will attract a large number of mana stars from the multiverse plane to move closer to this place, and spiritualize them at specific locations, turning into various mana beasts.

Common mana beasts are mana dragons, mana snakes, mana flying elephants, and mana Pegasi, and the rest of the mana beasts also have them, but there will be fewer of them.

Each mana beast carries a powerful arcane origin, and drawing on this arcane origin can greatly increase the amount of mana.

Therefore, each Aurora Tide is one of Stephen Sand's most important spiritual celebrations, and Stephen Sand's ability to become a sacred place for wizards is also inextricably linked to this unique magical resource.

However, it is not easy to get an invitation to the aurora tide.

Even within Stephen Sand, there is a very strict screening process, and if it is an external spellcaster, it is even more difficult, they have to go through many trials and challenges to be eligible to participate in this kind of festival.

Jiang Yuanchi, as one of the six apostles, also went through some tests when he went back this time before he successfully got the invitation.

And an outsider like Xu Nan can actually get the invitation directly, this back door is too cool.

No wonder her tone was so sour......

He thought about it carefully, and it should have been Romans who made some effort.

This may be an added bonus for exploring the hidden Tomb of Ron.

is also a Warlock Ron, and Romang should be very aware of Xu Nan's current predicament.

The strategy of the stand-in boy proposed before was great, although it didn't come in handy, but it was because Xu Nan found a better shortcut.

And this time, Xu Nan was asked to participate in the tide of aurora, also to make up for the warlock's shortcomings in magic.

For a long time, Xu Nan has rarely had a magic power void, first, it is the existence of the power of the apocalypse, which allows him to have other forms of energy sources; Second, he didn't participate in enough battles, most of them could be solved at once, and there were very few such sustained battles.

But his deficiencies in magic do exist.

Xu Nan estimated that his current magic value was about one-third of that of a mage of the same level. If he encounters a large-scale battle, after the magic power is empty, he can only rely on the fire knife method or the tyrannosaurus fist method to fight the enemy hand-to-hand.

It's an indecent thing to think about.

But it's hard for warlocks to increase their magical powers, as they focus on charisma, not intelligence.

Therefore, the opportunity of the aurora tide is very precious.

If Xu Nan can capture a few more mana beasts in this Aurora Tide, at least before the legend, his magic shortcomings will be completely filled.

"No matter what, this favor is still very big. Looking back at Ms. Ansuli's hobbies, although the other party is already a top legend who lacks anything, it still has to be meaningful. ”

Xu Nan kept this favor firmly in his heart.

……

After chatting about the invitation, Jiang Yuanchi's expression relaxed a little, and even stretched in front of Xu Nan, and then yawned wildly.

It looks like she's really not rested well these days at Stephen Sand.

"Why don't you go to sleep first?"

Xu Nan finished reading a document on the diet report of the Ice Plains people, and raised his eyes to see that Jiang Yuan was sleepy and hazy, and he was almost about to infect himself, so he took the opportunity to remind him.

After a long time, Jiang Yuan nodded sluggishly: "It's time to sleep." ”

Then she took advantage of the situation and lay directly on Xu Nan's pile of documents, and fell asleep!

I didn't even take my eyes off.

Xu Nan was a little speechless.

Liuhuo looked at it for a long time, leaned over and asked:

"Chief Mage, what does this mean? Is this some kind of spellcasting ritual? ”

Xu Nan carefully pulled out a stack of documents from under her chest, then carefully reviewed them, and said casually:

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about her."

As a result, Driftfire has been standing by the side, motionless.

Xu Nan said strangely: "What's the matter, it's okay." ”

Liuhuo looked at the stack of documents in Xu Nan's hand and said:

"You've just reviewed these documents once."

Xu Nan:

“……”

"Can't you watch it again?"

……

Because there were too many things delayed before, Xu Nan rarely opened the [Sleepless Wise] specialty, reviewed documents all night, and determined several controversial policies, and then issued a decree to be implemented quickly.

After working for fourteen hours in one go, he got up a little tired and moved, only to find that Senior Sister Jiang was still sleeping soundly.

"What the hell happened to Stephen Sand?"

He was a little curious, but judging from the previous chat, Jiang Yuanchi seemed reluctant to reveal what happened to Stephen Sand.

Except for the invitation, she mentioned it all in one stroke, and she seemed to be more willing to talk about Xu Nan's experience in the Ice Wind Collar and the Frost Giant's Tomb.

Compared with Qin Lele, Jiang Yuanchi has always had her own ideas, and Xu Nan naturally will not mention it repeatedly against her wishes.

It's just that his curiosity is sometimes quite strong, and Jiang Yuanchi is reluctant to say, which doesn't mean that he can't investigate.

Paradise Lost's MI7 may not be the most powerful intelligence agency in the world, but it must be the most powerful gossip agency in the world!

In a place like Stephen Sand, which has been infiltrated and rotten, it is not difficult to know what news is going on.

Soon, after paying a small amount of intelligence fees, Xu Nan got a summary of the news that happened in Stephen Sand recently.

The headline of the summary is-

[The Deception Society is born again!] Alchemy puppets or prove that the law of inequality does exist! 】

Xu Nan was dizzy when he looked at this topic, but after looking closely, things became clear.

It turned out that the recent uproar in Stephen Sand was caused by an ordinary alchemy competition.

Gilded Okro Cup.

This is one of the traditional Stephen and Sand alchemical competitions, held every twelve years, and the content is generally biased towards alchemical innovations or inventions of practical application.

Because the Okro Cup is open to all alchemists, although its specifications are average and the rewards are symbolic, the specific operation is the most lively.

Many grassroots alchemists have worked hard for decades to accumulate just to be able to come up with a decent innovative alchemy item on the Okro Cup to be recognized by the judges and the audience, so as to soar to the sky!

This year's Gilded Okro Cup has increased its rewards, and it is said that it is due to the cooperation with several large alchemy workshops, so it has attracted more alchemists to participate, and the number of participants has exceeded 3,000!

This is a very impressive number, Stephen Sand, as the hometown of alchemists, the number of alchemists as a whole will not exceed 10,000. The impact of the Okro Cup can be seen in the fact that a community trophy tournament can attract so many people.

And this time, a lot of innovative alchemy products have indeed emerged.

For example, a fully automatic toilet is because it borrows the creativity of the smart toilet on the earth, and uses alchemy to achieve the goal of a perfectly clean and comfortable toilet. I heard that this thing can also improve hemorrhoids, so I got the silver fries trophy.

In addition, such inventions emerge one after another, and one-third of them are related to the earth, and it seems that the intervention of the earth has indeed had a lot of impact on the general world.

But the one that won the gilded Okro Cup was a little special.

In fact, he was also the source of the huge controversy that sparked Stephen Sand.

It was an alchemy doll.

Unlike ordinary alchemy dolls, this alchemy puppet can actually perform alchemy!

Alchemy can only be achieved by relying on alchemists, which is the surreal material transformation carried out by intelligent beings with their own understanding of alchemy.

It is common knowledge that alchemy items cannot be alchemy on their own.

But the appearance of this alchemy puppet named "Sun God" broke this common sense.

Although he was questioned by the audience, the judges chose him as the winner of the Okro Cup for some reason.

His master, the alchemist Helena, received a large prize and received the attention of everyone.

But many are not convinced. They thought there was something wrong with the alchemist puppet.

In fact, the day after Helena won the award, the origin of this alchemy doll was revealed.

This is not a normal alchemy doll at all, this is a half-alchemy, half-life alchemy doll made by Helena using her son!

In other words, Helena didn't actually break through the common sense of alchemy, she just disguised her son as a puppet to use alchemy.

It seems that it is just a hoax, at most the judges have invariably looked away and failed to see through Helena's scam.

But after the incident, one of the three judges in charge of the gilded Okro Cup suddenly died in his own home, the other went crazy, and the last one was in a coma with food poisoning......

All of a sudden, the whole thing seemed foggy.

What's even more amazing is that someone has analyzed the alchemy used by Helena's son, that is, the "Sun God" puppet during the competition, and discovered a shocking big secret!

The alchemy he uses is not Stephen Sand's most recognized "perfect alchemy", "equivalent alchemy".

In fact, the laws of alchemy he used were part of the dust of Stephen Sand's history.

That kind of alchemy has long been proven to be ineffective, useless, and evil.

That's theoretically something that humans will never be able to achieve -

Imperfect alchemy!

alias

Alchemy of the gods.
