Hey, hey, hey! ”

"Please pay attention to your image!"

Xu Nan couldn't help but complain.

He decisively withdrew his hand from Horford's arms, grabbing the staff of innocence in his arms by the way.

If this crucible is going to offend his own body any more, he's going to be polite!

"Mr. Horford, am I greedy for him, or are you doing it yourself?"

Jiang Yuanchi also showed a look of surprise, and couldn't help but tease.

Horford spun in circles, as if reminiscing about something, and after a while, his shrunken face enlarged again...... It became a capital embarrassment.

"Me, me, me!"

He suddenly said with a smiling face: "I'm greedy, I'm greedy, I'm cheap." ”

"Excuse me, excuse me......"

He didn't say a word, turned around and left.

"No, what about me?" Jiang Yuanchi's face was full of consternation.

"You go back and report to Ms. Ansuli yourself!"

The strange cauldron ran away as soon as it smoked, attracting the eyes of the wizards next to them.

Xu Nan also felt inexplicable. However, Horford's muttering just now, maybe Jiang Yuan didn't hear it clearly, but Xu Nan heard it clearly.

"He knows the Book of Entropy?"

"This guy ...... Hey? ”

He suddenly realized that he had an extra note in his pocket.

He hesitated for a moment, and took it out in front of Senior Sister Jiang, and there was actually a spell written on it:

[In the name of balance, summon Stephen Sand's cutest curiosity, the magic cauldron Horford. Icarus ......】

It's a summoning spell.

"To summon the cauldron? He left me this note, and the purpose of the set is too obvious, right? ”

Xu Nan guessed that most of the changes in Horford's attitude before and after were because of the Book of Entropy.

Previously, he accidentally entered a state of demon addiction and activated the Book of Entropy with his own blood, so it is not surprising that there is the breath of the Book of Entropy in the blood components.

On the contrary, this magic cauldron, I don't know what its origin is, not only can I recognize the breath of the Book of Entropy, but it also seems to know the book very well.

Xu Nan's heart moved, and he put away the note.

looked up, but saw that Jiang Yuanchi was still drinking milk tea by himself...... No, it's supposed to be biting a straw.

"Not curious?" Xu Nan smiled.

"Do you want to compare the number of secrets with me?" Jiang Yuanchi rolled his eyes rarely.

There are many kinds of styles.

Xu Nan was a little amazed.

……

On the way back, the wind was calm.

In the evening, three huge floating boats slowly came to a halt at the airport dock, and the wizards poured out like a tidal wave, greeting each other, and finally crossing the central square, scattering to all corners of this magnificent floating city.

The aurora tide is over, but the aurora celebration is not over yet, and the whole Stephen Sand is filled with festive colors.

Xu Nan was told that the closing ceremony would be held in three days, and that a considerable number of elite wizards would choose to participate; Of course, many wizards from other places will choose to leave as soon as possible.

In this regard, Stephen Sand is not reluctant.

Xu Nan pondered, anyway, the time for himself to come out to wave was seriously exceeded, and it seemed unnecessary to go back early to face the resentment of the little Lori, it was better to wave for a few more days.

What's more, at the closing ceremony, he should have the opportunity to receive an award or something.

So he decided to stay in Stephen Sand for another three days.

Before getting off the boat, he and Jiang Yuanchi had chatted, and after the closing ceremony, the two would return to Anonymous City together.

After that, she promised to stay in Anonymous City and fulfill her responsibilities as a chief mage.

Of course, Xu Nan, as the city lord, didn't dare to make a similar promise.

His schedule is already full:

After ending Stephen Sand's trip, he rested in the anonymous city for a week or two at most, and he had to face the choice of whether to go to the [Spellmaster's Hometown], how to say that Song Xiaocheng is also an acquaintance, and it is not Xu Nan's style to not save him when he sees death, and when he asked someone to come over, he also said that he would give money.

There is a high probability that Xu Nan will still go.

After this matter is over, he will have time to worry about the affairs of the Anonymous City, but it will not be long before it is estimated that it will be possible to accompany the two bigwigs Bileg and Li Oumeng to the Southern Continent to be a wind collector.

Speaking of which, he, the city lord, is really incompetent in front of him.

Xu Nan thought a little ashamed.

"It's already so incompetent anyway."

"It's nothing to be incompetent, right?"

When he thought so.

A bald wizard in a thin robe who passed by suddenly sneezed several times in a row.

"Young people nowadays don't know how to take care of their bodies."

Xu Nan sighed for a while.

Then he sneezed as well.

"Strange, I catch a cold too?"

He was a little confused, but he didn't think much of it, and walked directly into the crowd.

……

Night.

Xu Nan was lying on the bed, his eyes blank.

He had two rolls of white paper stuffed into his nostrils, and his nose was red, and he looked quite funny.

"I really have a cold! That's. ”

"Ahh

Xu Nan was in pain.

Strangely, although he had been sneezing and was about to knock his nose out, he had no other symptoms of a cold.

I don't know if it's because the flu is more contagious, but when I was eating at night, Xu Nan found that several wizards were sneezing. These people, like themselves, are foreign wizards who have just returned from the Land of Aurora.

Xu Nan scanned it with the Paradise Lost system and didn't find much of a problem, but he always had some doubts in his heart.

"I can't sleep while lying down like this, so I might as well get up and read a book or something."

He sighed, straightened up, and opened his workbench with a rare secret method, and began to hammer with some tools.

[You made a lucky pocket watch, your alchemy experience +5]

[You made a Pocket Watch of Doom, your Alchemy XP +10]

[You have made a fine pocket watch of doom, and your alchemy experience is +100]

……

Xu Nan ignored the data information of these crazy screen swipes.

Anyway, he's just playing, brushing up on his proficiency.

From an empirical point of view, his current alchemy level is level 10, and the three sub-fields of enchantment/mechanical/potions are all lit up, but the proficiency is really not good.

No way, proficiency and alchemy level are theoretically closely related. Normal alchemists can only gain alchemy experience through crazy piles of proficiency, and generally speaking, a level 10 alchemist must have a skill, and making many low-level alchemy items in the general field is basically super proficient.

But Xu Nan is different.

He relied on eating books to brush up the alchemy level, so it was a little embarrassing in terms of proficiency and success rate.

Recently, he has also realized this and started to practice violently.

Effect...... It can only be said that it is very average.

"Hey, if only I could eat with proficiency."

Looking at the lucky clock that had just failed to be made, Xu Nan was distressed about the cost, and at the same time he was insatiable to himself.

"Perhaps, Horford can help you."

The ghostly voice of the duck sounded faintly in the room.

Xu Nan was shocked, and he pulled out the magic crucible under the bed:

"You're stalking me? When were you here? ”

This guy is a cat, right?

Xu Nan arranged three spells in the room that were responsible for detecting and alarming, but he didn't even notice the intrusion of this guy!

"It didn't take long."

The strange face on the crucible flatteringly explained:

"It's only seven or eight hours."

Xu Nan: "......"

Okay, seven or eight hours, Xu Nan was still in the square at that time, and this guy was already in ambush in advance.

"Tell me, what are you looking for me?"

Although he was taken aback, Xu Nan knew that this guy must have no ill will towards him.

So he threw the crucible aside and continued to make the lucky pocket watch.

"Are you making a lucky pocket watch?"

"I can help you!"

"Lovely and elegant Horford has an alchemy level bonus, if you don't dislike me, I can give you the blessing of up to five alchemy levels!"

Horford's strange face came back to him.

Xu Nan listened to Maomao, but the bonus of the five alchemy levels still made him a little excited.

"I don't believe it."

Xu Nan questioned: "I haven't heard of any items that can have this kind of bonus. ”

Horford suddenly came to the spirit:

"You don't know that. The elegant and easy-going Horford is the town artifact of the Equilibrium School, I once followed the god of heavenly work, and I also talked and laughed with the leader of the Equilibrium School, I may not be the top in other fields, but in the field of alchemy, it can be said that I am the most beautiful crucible in the whole of Stephen Sand! ”

"As long as you are willing to become my master, you can enjoy up to 5 levels of alchemy bonuses!"

"Lack of proficiency will no longer be a problem for you, Horford will be your hands!"

The more emotional he said, the more hairs stood on Xu Nan's back.

"I have my own hands......"

Xu Nan couldn't help muttering.

The flattering smiling face on the crucible suddenly became bitter:

"Oh, great and honorable master, have pity on poor and lonely Horford!"

"Ever since Theseus left, I haven't followed any alchemist, and I've been sinking alone in this filthy world. But now it's different, I found you! ”

"You are my master, you are the god of heaven and the master of balance in the future!"

Xu Nan's face was speechless, and he casually threw another lucky pocket watch that failed to be made into the garbage heap.

"Do you have an idea for the Book of Entropy?" He simply pierced the layer of window paper.

"The Book of Entropy?"

"Oh, so you already know its name, master."

The expression on the crucible became very exaggerated: "He is worthy of being a great master, and the god of heavenly work in the future!" ”

"Of course, of course, if you could lend me that page of the Book of Entropy......"

Syllable!

Xu Nan directly threw the papyrus entropy book fragment in front of Horford.

In this regard, Xu Nan is still very refreshing, since Horford obviously has no malicious intentions, maybe he still understands the Book of Entropy, so he might as well try to cooperate.

He stopped what he was doing and looked seriously at the magic cauldron:

"Can you read it?"

"Of course." Horford took a magnifying glass from the belly of the crucible, carefully examined the text on it, and explained as he looked:

"This is the High Elf script, and it is an encrypted High Elf script, hehe, this encryption method is usually only known to the people of the Pantheon how to decipher, it just so happens that when Horford was young, he once followed the god of heaven to study in the Pantheon for a period of time......"

"High Elf Text?" Xu Nan's heart moved: "In Stephen Sand, is there a book called "Bridging Book", through which you can learn the High Elf text?" ”

That's what Barbera, the black witch, told him back then.

"Yes." Horford put down the magnifying glass in his hand with some surprise: "But the Book of Bridging is hidden in the Palace of Halsay, and since the disappearance of the prophet Barbera, no one has seen it again. This news is also known to a very small number of people. ”

"Worthy of the master!"

Xu Nan's face was expressionless, and he directly ignored Horford's sycophancy.

In his opinion, this magic cauldron must have been condescending to him because of the Book of Entropy, and his current attitude did not mean anything.

"Master, I have a presumptuous request."

Horford suddenly asked cautiously:

"Can I take this page of the entropy book home and study it?"

Before Xu Nan could speak, a fleshy little hand suddenly stretched out from the Book of Entropy, snapped on the ground, and slapped Horford in the face.

Plop plop!

The poor magic cauldron was directly knocked away and fell to the ground, and it took a long time to fly, and it was still shaking.

Xu Nan looked at the pages of the Book of Entropy with some surprise, that little hand was quite personal, and after giving Horford a slap, it disappeared without a trace.

"Sure enough, it's still a familiar taste."

The magic cauldron's expression became very tangled.

He thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind, and suddenly hugged Xu Nan's thigh:

"Please, take me in!"

"As an artifact-level strange thing, I'm very capable!"

"As long as you let me keep ...... for you"

Under Xu Nan's obviously negative gaze, he quickly changed his words: "As long as you let me take a look at the Book of Entropy once in a while." ”

Xu Nan gently stroked the soft pages of the Book of Entropy, and found that since the last time he was in a state of demonic addiction, this page seemed to have become more and more spiritual.

He put away the Book of Entropy, and then couldn't help but sneeze a few times.

"When you need it, you come and see, I won't refuse."

Xu Nan said: "There's no need for me to take you in or anything, after all, you are Stephen Sand's artifact." ”

To say that Xu Nan is not moved by Horford, it is also impossible.

But he knew very well that this was a spiritual artifact, and he couldn't just use a book of entropy to subdue him.

In that case, it is better to maintain an equal posture and let Horford owe himself favors.

Horford thought for a moment: "Yes. ”

"I'll leave a beacon of the Shadow Realm near you, and occasionally come and borrow the Book of Entropy without affecting your life. Of course, if you're interested in the contents of the Book of Entropy, I won't hold it back. ”

Xu Nan nodded, he just wanted to ask about the specific origin of Horford's Book of Entropy, who knew that at this time, there was a sharp itch on the wing of his nose again.

"Ahh Ahh ”

He began to sneeze wildly.

"Master? Do you have a cold? ”

"No...... right"

Horford flew around Xu Nan like a toad, and his tone became solemn:

"It's ...... Holcamo disease? ”

"What do you say?"

Xu Nan looked at him blankly.

"Ahh
