11. Killing stars in the night sky
After five days of driving, Liye and his entourage finally settled in Solo City.
Solo City is connected to the world's largest airport, "Cloud Port", and although it is a port, its scale is large enough to become a city.
"Next, we set off from Cloud Harbor, take an air ship to Railda City, and then from Railda City down the waterway into the Lost Sea, the middle of the Lost Sea is the destination of Liberty Island, and when we reach Liberty Island, we can find a way to enter the Moonlit Night Forest. ”
Liye talked about the plan in detail. It's not that he thinks about it, but no one in the mercenary group has ever been to Liberty Island, not even the Lost Sea, and the intelligence work is actually done by Liye himself......
"Before that, let's go here to replenish the mercenary union, everyone should rest and rest, if you want to discuss skills, I will take some time in the afternoon, everyone is interested in coming to the practice ground of the mercenary union, now I want to do something, then, if there is no objection, disband. ”
Is it okay to say it in a reasonable tone even though it is an inquiry......
Inoli's tangled expression all revealed this meaning, and it was a matter of course that Liye would not pay attention to her.
"Honory, come, let's go to the Arcane Society. ”
"Huh?"
"Hey, what," Liye waved his hand with a look of boredom, "You wouldn't think that the uncrowned king of the main material plane wouldn't have noticed my sudden appearance, would you?"
Saying that, Li Ye sighed: "Five arcane mages, the legend sits on the same level as the gods, unless they are willing to judge themselves, even the god of magic will not appear, and this alone is enough to prove that they are the 'gods' of this plane." ”
"Uh......" Inoli also came back to her senses, at the beginning, Liye hid in her body and couldn't detect it, but now that Liye came out, she will naturally be detected, this plane is equivalent to the "divine domain" of the arcane mage, although it is impossible to "know", but out of thin air, it is indeed a bit difficult not to detect such a powerful soul fluctuation as Liye.
"In addition, we have to give some 'gifts'," Liye shrugged, "otherwise it will be a problem to be underestimated." ”
In the end, Inoli still didn't go with Liye, for a simple reason - the alchemy materials were gone. At the beginning, they were exchanged for alchemy and mercenaries to get help, although the gains along the way may not make them care, but after all, you have to keep your promises, and mercenaries also have to eat, right?
Inoli took some alchemy 'failed products' and sold them, of course, the failed products were only for Liye's eyes. Like Freezing Flask, when applied to weapons, it can inflict frostbite and slow down, and has bonus damage against fire-type creatures. Although similar flame plasters, highly poisonous potions, petrochemical sprays, etc. are only disposable, they are very marketable for mercenaries, who have today and tomorrow and like to show off.
Although I don't know how much Inoni earned, I can see a sense of joy on her face after Liye returns, of course, the most curious thing is not Liye, but Ainoli and the elf sister and mercenaries...... Because he had a lewd smile that he couldn't hide all afternoon, he was like a bad young man who had played a highly educated professor......
Of course, this is still not the point, and it may become an after-dinner chatter, but for mercenaries, there are only two things that can arouse their interest - life-saving skills and money. Maybe the elves only care about skills?Anyway, because of this, the only mercenary who can come to the union canteen for dinner time is their leader...... Liye didn't even let go of her sister......
"Speaking of which, I don't remember your name yet, forgive me, after all, the name of my hometown is very short, and I'm really not used to remembering a longer name. ”
Li Ye began to be curious about this regiment leader, not for anything else, but for his crazy training of ordinary mercenaries with "wouldn't it be ridiculous if the regiment commander is not capable of serving the people......
"Haha, didn't you see the outside," the mercenary captain "banged" his chest, "The adults are grateful to us for taking care of us!"
“......”
Li Ye really didn't know what to say to the big man who let the theme crooked the building say to this opening. Fortunately, the other party also saw that Liye was speechless, and he was dressed properly, and honestly introduced himself.
"My name is Alpha Oder Rafa, and the adults just call me Rafa. ”
"You don't seem to be an ordinary mercenary, do you? ”
Hearing this, Rafa pouted, although he still maintained a non-standard etiquette.
"I am the third brother in the family, the eldest brother and the second brother are competing for the seat, I am not that interested, and the family is not the emperor There is no need to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so I was kicked out. ”
The atmosphere is so low, fortunately, a meal is eaten quickly, Liye doesn't need to eat, it's just a show, although Ainoli is elegant, Liye probably has foodie attributes...... Rafa doesn't waste time on eating at all - he still hasn't finished his training.
The good-hearted Liye sent Inoli to practice the content of the "Alchemy Array Memory" after dinner, and he made a boring cameo appearance as a "Little Er", but looking at the black and terrifying faces, I'm afraid that most of the mercenaries won't sleep well tonight, except for my sister, of course......
At night, Inoli climbed up to the head of the mercenary union with difficulty, raised her eyes and looked around, and sure enough, she was lying there admiring the moon......
"Your Excellency, please don't climb the roof again, the impact is not good......"
"Oh, have you done the alchemy today?"
Seeing Liye open the topic, Inoli sighed helplessly and handed the things in her hand to Liye.
"Oh?" the moment the thing arrived, Liye was surprised. "You did the same assessment I gave you?"
Inoli nodded proudly, "It's also a whim." ”
Li Ye tilted his head and looked at it, this thing in his hand was a round object, at first glance, it was the product of no special practice of alchemy array, and the alchemy light on it was enough to dazzle people's eyes if they turned on the spiritual vision, but now, there was only a faint layer of red light or red mist on its surface, and there was a barely visible blue light faintly flashing inside.
"Through the alchemy array, the demon core is re-elementalized, and a small amount of water element is stimulated internally to make the fire element of the main body more active, which can detonate and create a small area of fire elemental field, and can also be worn on the body to increase the power of fire magic. Li Ye looked at it a little and almost knew the effect, "But due to the content problem, about the amount of three third-order spells will make it scrapped, and it will ......"
Liye twisted his fingers, and a little bit of wind element was condensed around it, only to see that the small ball suddenly expanded and then "popped", bursting like a water ball.
"And the operation is disorderly, too easy to be distracted by external interference and scrapped, I should have said that out-of-control operation and behavior are not allowed, and the next is not an example. ”
Seeing Inoli's dejected appearance, Liye was a little amused.
"Okay, okay, at least you did, and from today onwards, you're an official alchemist. ”
Looking at the lazy Liye who lay down again, Inoli was still stillborn before she had time to show her happiness, huh?
Shaking his head to clear the distracting thoughts out of his mind, then Inoli looked at Liye and then at the night sky, stars or stars, moon or moon, what is there to see?
"Tsk?" Suddenly, Liye was very unhappy with a "tsk", which startled Inori, "Killing stars, why killing stars?"
"Kill the star?"
Hearing Inoli's question, Liye reluctantly agreed.
"There is a saying in my hometown that everyone has their own 'number of lives', and each 'life' can find the corresponding star from the sky. Over time, a method of measuring the astrology appeared. ”
Speaking of this, Liye stopped, as if he was organizing the language.
"Just like the gods born from the condensation of prayers, there are people who are born with visions, and these people have visions that manifest themselves through the stars because of the astrological arts, such as killing stars. ”
Inoli looked in the direction of Liye's finger, it was a star that shimmered with blood, surrounded by stars.
"Look at that, the one below the killing star is the general star, a little higher than the general star but slightly lower than the killing star is the emperor star, and on both sides of it are the auxiliary stars and the slaughtering star. This means that the Killing Star is going to slaughter the world and slaughter the Emperor! This will be a troubled time!"
Looking at Liye's sworn tone, Inoli panicked for no reason.
"The terrifying artistic conception of this killing star is just like the white Qi under King Qin Zhao at the beginning! Huh?
I don't know what Liye saw again, anyway, suddenly I took out two identical hard-faced books from the cheap space ring and wrote them for a while, and while writing, I also muttered strange words such as "night", "dawn", "vision", "magic", "chaos is coming", and what is even more strange is that the two books actually revealed white and black light respectively with Liye's chatter and writing, the white light is very strange, not dazzling at all, very soft, as for the black ...... The black light is strange in itself......
Inoli was very puzzled when she watched Liye's movements, these notebooks were completely bought by her, and she didn't remember when she had this ability......
"Don't think about it, if you can reach the point of 'god in this world', you can do it, but you don't know how long it will take. ”
The inadvertent contempt and disdain took a big blow to Inoli's self-esteem...... This caused a period of time after leaving Ye to completely understand where Inoli's desperate energy and desire to fight came from, and he was troubled for a long time......
That's all for later, of course......
