The full moon hung high in the treetops, and the mist shrouded the darkness. I have to admit that the night view of Kassel is still very beautiful, the castle and modern buildings are staggered, gilded with a layer of silver-white brilliance, and the distant mountains and lakes complement each other, making people feel like falling into a dream.

But Mai is not in the mood to enjoy the scenery now. There is no curfew at the Kassel Academy, but once it is dark, there are very few students outside because the well-guarded military base is patrolled at regular intervals every night, and cameras are located in every corner of the academy as the eyes of Norma, the world's number one artificial intelligence.

There is one thing to say, Jiude Mai can go all the way to the location of Valhalla, on the one hand, because she has the reconstruction planning drawings of Kassel in hand, which can be used as a reference for the route, and on the other hand, it is thanks to a certain Nei Ying who should have found a way to take away Norma, otherwise, I am afraid that Jiude Mai's long legs have just taken a step into the academy, and the secretary of the academy will sound the alarm of the dragon invasion.

As for what method Gu Bei used to take Norma away...... In fact, he just told Bai Ze to find Norma to play games in the middle of the night, and then borrowed Fingal's authority to temporarily stop Norma's work.

As it turns out, even a well-defended Kassel can become porous when there is an internal response.

"You looked like a cockroach in the cracks." Gu Bei picked up an oyster and stuffed it into his mouth along with the minced garlic inside, and his speech was a little slurred.

There is no one in the cafeteria late at night, and the students at this point prefer to order two suppers and send them to the dormitory, and then find a few friends with better relationships to celebrate in order not to go to eight in the morning tomorrow, and there are very few people like Gu Bei who come to the cafeteria in person in the middle of the night.

Kassel's students come from all over the world, so the dishes in the canteen are also varied, not only pork knuckle as introduced by Fingal, Gu Bei just arrived in the canteen and saw the fresh aquatic products in the fish tank in the back kitchen, and when he asked, he knew that it was transported from the port overnight.

The chef said that they have also researched a lot of new dishes recently, such as cheese oysters in French cuisine, which taste quite good.

Cheese oysters? What's so good about that? At Gu Bei's suggestion, the chefs in the back kitchen replaced him with roasted oysters with garlic.

Well, that's what makes it delicious. In fact, not only the oysters, but also a whole chicken, a piece of smoked pork leg, a beef burger, a vegetable salad, and a large portion of mashed potatoes were on the table in front of Gu Bei...... Of course, Gu Bei won't be unable to eat, and the Liuku Immortal Thief is not an ornament.

However, he didn't choose to directly use the Liuku Immortal Thief to refine the food in his mouth, after all, he would lose the pleasure of tasting food.

Recently, Gu Bei has gained a new understanding in his cultivation. To be precise...... It's the bottleneck. Not in the Eight Wonder Skills, but in the most fundamental practice of Qi.

He found that although his Qi quantity had been steadily increasing, the quality of Qi had been limited.

Take, for example, a man in a world of man. The Qi of ordinary aliens is like the clouds and mist covered by clouds and mountains, ethereal and unknown; And the further aliens, Qi is like a fluid, condensed like golden light, like the water in a river, and the representative figures are most of the young generation represented by Zhang Chulan Wangye.

The inhumans on the next level, the gas is as solid as a solid, as solid as a rock, such as the old man Lu Jin, the mad dog Lu Ci, and the two heroes of Ding Daoan and Na Ruhu.

As for the Heavenly Master...... People who have returned to the basics, Gu Bei doesn't know how far the Heavenly Master has come, and there is no doubt that he has transcended the realm.

Now Gu Bei is trapped in the second layer, although the amount of Qi has been growing unlimitedly, there has never been a quantitative change to cause a qualitative change.

This is a very bad situation. For Yiren, the magic is the way, and the practice of Qi is the base. If Lian Qi comes to an end all the way, then the magic will not be able to make an inch.

Even if the Eight Wonder Techniques are techniques that can grow infinitely, if Gu Bei's cultivation is not enough, then when facing an opponent who is several times stronger than him, the Eight Wonder Skills will still not be able to exert the desired effect.

Just like Wang Ye and the Heavenly Master. He was always looking for the problem. Slowly, he realized that he was a little too impatient.

He was anxious to develop his power, anxious to collect intelligence, anxious to help Chu Zihang settle Odin as soon as possible, wanted to help Lu Mingfei solve Lu Mingze, and wanted to break the barrier between human inhumans and hybrids, so that all this was as equal as possible.

These things made his life like a mess and he couldn't remember his thoughts clearly, but it was something that could not be rushed in itself.

Whether it's these things, or it's a practice. These are things that need to be done slowly. Maybe you should slow down.

The road should be walked slowly, step by step; Meals should be eaten slowly, one bite at a time. Even if you can move in space, even if you can refine it directly, what's the point of that?

Some things just have to be done slowly to make sense. The experience of life is to accumulate from little things, if even this little thing has to rely on magic to complete, then what is life for?

What is the purpose of accomplishing so many things on your own? So Gu Bei chose to restrain himself, reduced the number of times he took the initiative to use strange arts, and began to experience these daily routines that he had neglected for a long time.

"Your late-night snack grease content is as good as a pig." Said the girl sitting across from him. The masters in the back kitchen looked at the only two people in the cafeteria while chatting, and they actually knew that Gu Bei was a big man in the limelight in the college, that is, an S-level freshman and a newly opened professor, and the course was very popular.

As for the girl opposite Gu Bei...... It's familiar. All the reviews given by the master are very familiar, but I really want to say where I have seen it...... Can't remember.

Of course they hadn't met, and Mai was not a student of Kassel, but her sister Aki was the same, but the two sisters really didn't look alike at all.

As for why it looks familiar...... In fact, it was Gu Bei who put a layer of illusion on Jiude Mai. I said that I didn't use it as much as possible, but I didn't say that I didn't use it at all, and I still had to use it when I should use it, just like in this situation, I can save a lot of trouble after using a magic technique.

Under the effect of illusion, people can see not Mai Jiude in combat uniforms, but girls in dark green school uniforms, so that Mai Jiude can appear openly on the campus in Kassel.

This method can only be used tonight, and Norma can usually find out the true identity of Mai Jiude through facial data comparison in minutes.

Gu Bei tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it for a while and spit out a bone, he didn't seem to spit out a bone for a long time, and after having the Liuku Immortal Thief, he stuffed it directly to the nearest place, no matter what it was.

"I'm a carnivore."

"Eating less oil is good for your health." Gu Bei patted his belly: "It's okay, I have a magic technique that is specially used to digest things." "Mai Sakatoku:"...... How idle are you to study this kind of magic? "The Liuku Immortal Thief wasn't something I researched...... Although he thought so, Gu Bei didn't say so, just changed the topic: "What do I want?" Mai asked, "What about my things?" "She didn't see any container on Gu Bei's body that could hold an alchemy weapon, she just handed over the information to him, what if he didn't honor the reward?

Gu Bei pursed his lips, and with a flash of light in his hand, a long and narrow suitcase appeared in his hand.

"Wow, space props, you have a lot of good things on you." Mai pulled the suitcase and opened it.

There are two knives in the suitcase, one long and one short, the longer one is a Tang horizontal knife, and the short one is more like the rib difference used by ninjas.

This is the reward that Gu Bei promised Jiude Mai. The short one is considered the reward for today's adventure to sneak in, and it is a magic weapon that Gu Bei has recently refined, and it is not all alchemy weapons in the strict sense, because there are really few alchemy runes used on it.

However, in terms of effect, although the Philosopher's Stone was not added, and the effect of killing dragons was missing, in terms of sharpness, Gu Bei had taken it to the Equipment Department for testing, and the effect could probably crush alchemy weapons.

As for the long Tang horizontal knife, it was naturally the main head of this transaction, and Gu Bei had blackmailed it from the Chen family before

"Fixed". Gu Bei had inadvertently seen the historical materials of this knife when he was studying this knife before, and it was very mysterious.

"Dingfang", cast with meteorite outside the sky and the blood of the Yi people, was the famous general Su Lie in the early years of the Tang Dynasty

The sword of "Su Dingfang" is named after it. Let's not talk about whether this record is accurate or not, let's just say that Su Dingfang is a person, why does he use a Tang horizontal knife as a general?

This thing is not far enough for horse combat, and it can't be assembled on a large scale in foot combat, so it's not a war knife used on the battlefield at all.

Tang Heng's thing is a soldier's sword, and it is generally used by palace soldiers, government officials, fast catchers, soldiers guarding the city, and patrol soldiers.

After all, this thing is very lethal, but it takes too much effort to fight, and there is no way to assemble it on a large scale.

Say this

It is still possible that "Dingfang" is Su Lie's sword, and it is somewhat nonsense to say that he is Su Lie's knife to cut people on the battlefield.

That's why it's in the historical data

"The blood of the people" is not credible. But having said that, but

Although there was no formal way to refine the Philosopher's Stone at that time, the people of that era would also use other methods to replace the Philosopher's Stone, such as ...... Living sacrifice.

In the final analysis, the Sage's Stone is just the embodiment of spiritual energy, and it is still spiritual power in essence, and the same effect can be achieved with human worship.

For example, the Qin State Killing God Bai Qi weapon was actually an alchemy weapon born out of blood, but now it is missing.

There is a difference between ancient and modern artifacts. Jiude Mai still has some knowledge, although she doesn't have an alchemy weapon herself, but she hasn't used this thing.

Who made her have a great boss. Tianyu Feather Slash, Budu Imperial Soul, and Tiancong Cloud Sword have all been in her hands.

So she could also tell the age of the alchemy weapon. Make sure the goods are right, Jiude Mai put away the things, and Gu Bei is not worried about this goods turning around, after all, Kassel is his territory, and if Jiude Mai dares to run away, it is estimated that he will not even be able to get out of the canteen door.

Jiude Mai naturally knew this, and took out a thick stack of documents in his honest and practical hands.

"It's ......"

"The information you want." Jiude Mai handed the things to Gu Bei. Gu Beishu cleaned the oil from his fingers, and then took it.

"Black Swan Harbor Project...... Hey, the plan for 1945? It's been 60 years, where did you get this thing? Jiude Mai spread her hands and signaled that she had nothing to say.

Gu Bei didn't ask much, he could probably guess that Jiude Mai herself was a well-known and genuine ninja, a good hand at intelligence, and coupled with Su Enxi's financial resources, it was really not good for them to still stand behind Lu Mingze.

In fact, Gu Bei went to Lu Mingze at the beginning, and he had every reason to believe that Lu Mingze, who couldn't get the information that Jiude Mai couldn't get, would help her get it.

Whether it was because of an alchemy weapon, or in order to better help Lu Mingfei inherit his power, this was a bargaining chip that Lu Mingze had to throw, and it was also part of the transaction.

Gu Bei didn't look closely, put the documents into the storage ring, and then wiped out the things on the table like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

After finishing his work, he went to the order window to pick up the omelette sandwich and orange juice that had already been prepared, and then left the cafeteria shoulder to shoulder with Mai Sakatoku.

The moon hung in the middle of the sky, and Gu Bei sent Jiude Mai all the way to the gate of the Kassel Academy. Mai Liquor rode on a motorcycle in a tight-fitting combat suit, looking like Celti in "Persona of the Headless Horseman": "Remember to look for me next time you have such a good thing." Gu Bei nodded: "Then you have to give me a discount." ”

"Small business, no bargaining."

"Huh." Two alchemy weapons, one of which has an ancient artifact with an age, you tell me that you are a small business?

You're just buying and selling without capital! With the roar of the locomotive, the task of Jiude Mai was successfully completed, and Gu Bei had a meal in the middle.

Just now she ate a chicken leg on Gu Bei's table. Gu Bei turned around and went back to the dormitory in the dark.

It's already twelve o'clock, and of course, for young people who like to stay up late and students who don't have eight mornings tomorrow, the nightlife has just begun.

But some people's lives are so regular. is like Chu Zihang. This product basically goes to bed at the end of the day, and you can fall asleep within two minutes of closing your eyes, without any delay at all.

Gu Bei guessed that Chu Zihang should also be asleep now. Gu Bei took out the key to open the door, but the door opened from the inside, Gu Bei raised his head and saw Chu Zihang's expressionless face.

"Ahahahaha, senior brother, you haven't slept yet." Chu Zihang lowered his head and glanced at the sandwich and orange juice he was carrying in his hand: "I should have gone to bed an hour ago." Gu Bei understood, this was because Gu Bei brought supper, but Gu Bei never came back, which means that today's business was not done, so Senior Brother Chu couldn't sleep.

I have to say that Senior Brother Chu's living habits are really good. Gu Bei smiled, he knew that Chu Zihang had noticed something, but if he didn't say it, Chu Zihang wouldn't ask, this was the tacit understanding between the two people.

"I'm sorry brother, I just ate more fresh aquatic products from the cafeteria tonight...... Would you like some oysters? ”

"No need."

“…… That's right, it's easy to fall asleep after eating this thing. ”
