It's not necessarily 2 more today, but I'll talk about it first. Don't say I'll release your pigeons when the time comes.

Yesterday the arena was beaten into pig's head, am I easy?

************

For a moment, both of us were silent. The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Thankfully, Ed's Dark Castle has arrived. Through the aerial cordon of gargoyles, ghosts, vampire bats, and bone dragons, we reached the rooftop of the castle. A pale-faced middle-aged man in a gray-and-white mage robe with a few demon guards armed with sharp double-edged axes was already there early to wait for us.

As soon as the bone dragon's four legs touched the ground, the man greeted him: "McCanix awaits my lord Ed Phoenix. ”

"Thank you, McCannix." Ed jumped off the bone dragon head with me, "How are you doing during the time I've been out?" ”

"Blessed is my lord, all is well. Did Ed-sama go well? McCanix hastily swiped his finger on the ground a few times, and a simple magic array was formed in an instant, and the bone dragon we were sitting on just now turned into a black smoke and was sucked into the magic array, and then disappeared together.

"It went very well. Yatan is very satisfied with our newly developed paralyzing poison, which has been piloted in several large families of the dark elves, and after those family leaders accept it, it will be fully promoted in the dark elf army. Ed seems to be doing a work report. After the debriefing, he introduced me to McCannix again.

"McCannix, this is Miss Icardove whom I once mentioned to you. Not only does she know the oracles, she also has a wide network of high-level NPCs, and she also has a high reputation among players. "It's a big hat, but what he's saying is true.

"Turtledove, this is McCannix, a high-ranking necromancer. When my master was still an oracle, he served as my master's deputy, and he has a very high attainment in both the summoning system and the poison department. His fame and prestige in the necromancer world are far greater than mine. If you have any questions about poisons, you may wish to ask him for advice, you will definitely benefit a lot. ”

"Where, where?" McCanix hurriedly began to be modest, "After Lord Ed became an oracle, the strength and power of the Necromantic Legion have increased greatly, and the momentum of development has been rapid. Compared to Ed-sama, I'm just a dim star on the edge of the moon. After being modest, he extended his hand to me in a friendly manner, "Miss Ikaruga, it's an honor to meet you. I heard that your master is Lord Arya. ”

"Fortunately." I also reached out and shook him politely, "Lord Arya is just my professional mentor, and we don't usually keep in touch much. ”

McCannix smiled, not sure if it was okay. Then, in a boring polite conversation, we made our way down together, finally saying goodbye to the door of Ed's private alchemy lab, located somewhere in the basement of the castle.

"Oh my mom, are you always talking to each other like this, aren't you tired?" When McCannix was gone, I let out a long breath. casually moved a bench from the side and sat down, and immediately began to complain.

"McCannix is older and more knowledgeable than me, and he has been Master's deputy for many years, and he has been diligent and has not made a single mistake. My respect for him comes from the bottom of my heart, and I speak naturally and politely. As soon as Ed entered the room, he first picked up a list and began to count the items in the alchemy laboratory.

I looked around and saw that there were bottles and jars, not much different from the lab I remembered. However, I said that the materials stored here are disgusting, I don't know what kind of creatures have eyes, monster embryos...... I gave up after two glances, closed my eyes, and began to settle down, out of sight and out of mind.

After about ten minutes, after Ed finished counting his belongings, he greeted me: "Turtledove, take out the rock gold fragments." I know you have a game in the afternoon, so let's start early, don't delay your business. ”

What an empathetic NPC, especially when he didn't ask me for money to do something for me, it touched me so much, if it weren't for the fact that he was too ugly and had a mask on his face, I really wanted to run over and kiss him.

I hurriedly took out seven rock gold fragments and held them in my hand: "Ed, all seven fragments are here, where to put them?" ”

"Put it in the cauldron first." Ed pointed to what looked like a small basin next to him, and without thinking about it, he poured seven pieces into it in one go.

"Well, just leave it there, and you'll just wait on the side." Ed said as he began to take some materials from the cupboard, and when he took a few, he stopped as if he suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Icardove, you have to give me two hundred gold coins." Sorry, that's the rule. ”

…………

It's good that I didn't kiss it, otherwise it would be a loss to my wife and a soldier. Needless to say, after the hemorrhage, I sat quietly and watched Ed toss. To put it bluntly, it is actually a process of vaporizing the seven fragments at high temperatures, and then passing through a series of complex, rollercoaster-like structures to finally re-solidify them.

However, this process requires a lot of strange materials, especially a mid-level or higher bone spirit, and finally an antique dark yellow key is born. Ed waited for the metal to cool down completely before placing the key solemnly in my hand.

As soon as I took the key in my hand, a familiar system sound sounded: You have obtained the psychic key, a new map is about to be opened, the world announcement is about to be announced, do you want to hide your real name?

Belch...... An accident has triggered the whole world again. There is no way, people are handsome, luck is good. However, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, so I still gave up an opportunity to pull the wind around the world and chose to hide my name. In this way, the announcement of the system to the whole world becomes: the mysterious player has obtained the legendary item Psychic Key, and the new realm "Desperate Lands" is now fully available to players. For details, you can go to the announcement area of major cities to inquire.

"Turtledove." Ed, who had just finished his busy work, said to me while cleaning the utensils, "With your current strength, it's better not to go to the Land of Despair." If you're going to go, it's best to go alone. ”

"Thanks for reminding me, I've always been a loner."

"Huh. I've seen you a few times lately, and it seems like you're surrounded by a lot of people. Ed began to arrange the vessels as they had been in their original form, and said, "There is a very powerful magical enchantment in the Land of Despair, and although it will not cause harm to people, it will be the lowest level of human sanity. Except for the barbarians with strong primitive instincts, it is difficult for other races and professions to survive in that land for a long time. Especially if you go in a gang. Because the most primitive desires in the heart will be unreservedly cast there, two people who are friends one second may fight to the death the next. ”

"And this kind of place?"

"Despair is hopelessness. There is much more sinister there than I have described. Ed checked the utensils again to make sure there was nothing wrong with them, and then led me out the door, "Turtledove, the key has been synthesized. You still have a game in the afternoon, and I can't keep you anymore. Feel free to come and play with me in the future, and I'll take care of my men and let you go all the way. As he spoke, he glanced at the red hair on my head, "You must protect yourself until Fleminna is resurrected." Protecting yourself is protecting Fleminna. ”

I nodded: "Don't worry, I know this better than you." Don't worry about it. What you have to worry about is what attitude you should use towards Fleminna when she is resurrected. ”

"Let's talk about it then, I'll think about what you say." Ed sighed, "I won't send you personally." McCannix will appoint a reliable person to take you to the teleportation point. Let's go back to the rooftop first. ”

Along the way, I asked him a few more questions about poisonology. Although Ed has repeatedly claimed that he has little research in poison, he is still far above me. There are a few questions that have been bothering me, and he made Daigo Empowerment completely understand in a few words. In just a few hundred meters, I learned how to make several poisons, such as mailing, crippling, paralyzing, and fast-acting, while several other poisons with known production methods were more integrated. This trip has been very beneficial.

Ed and I had a polite conversation on the rooftop, and finally waved goodbye, the bone dragon looked similar, and I don't know if the one I sat on when I came back was the same one I sat on.

It can be said that the task of the new oracle is basically completed, and the next thing is to wait. Once Fleminna's spirit has been safely evacuated and my camp is decided, I can go to the new map to find that goddamn sacrifice or something, and hand in the letter to receive the reward.

After a few tosses back and forth, it was really rewarding, but time passed quickly, and it was time to return to the arena to prepare for the game. So, our group said goodbye to the hospitable Yatan and returned to Sky City.

I walked all the way to the second entrance of the arena, but was stopped by a person. It's none other than Schilling, and the person he is looking for is no one else, it's down. He walked up and saw me stunned for a moment, probably by the red hair on my head, and then he smiled, the kind of cheap smile that made me feel uncomfortable and wanted to punch him in the face.

"Turtledove, where did you dye this hair, it's very eye-catching."

"Wake up you big-headed ghost." I gave him a blank look, "And I want to tell you that this head is not dyed." ”

"Oh, it doesn't matter, it's just pretty cool anyway." Schilling didn't care, and continued to walk towards me, but was stopped halfway by a few of my subordinates who were very hostile to him, Schilling smiled bitterly and said, "Turtledove, I have something very urgent to tell you. ”

"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, I don't have an ear when I stand here."

"Uh...... It's better to be able to take a step to speak. The fewer people who know about it, the better. Schilling glanced at my men, especially Sima and Pingduo, who were already in a league with my men.

"Borrow a step?" I sneered, "Did you borrow me, or did I borrow you?" Schilling, we're not partners anymore. I don't need to accommodate you anymore. If you want to say it, say it now. Or after the game, I'm going to play right away. ”

Schilling frowned: "It's too late to talk about it after the game." ”

"Then you just say it." The pants hummed and walked up, "Want to soak our boss? Schilling, you pee and take a photo, do you deserve it? If it weren't for the fact that Sky City doesn't allow casual PK, we'll knock you down now. You are not allowed to harass our boss again! ”

As soon as the words of the pants came out, the people around him naturally echoed it. I lifted my chin in a pretentious gesture as well. Hehe, Schilling is deflated this time. Aren't you [Seven Star Society] often bullying people with too many people? Today, you ran over by yourself stupidly, and now there are a lot of us, and let us bully and bully you, the boss of the [Seven Star Society], haha.

Seeing our attitude, Schilling shrugged his shoulders and took a step back: "Since you don't want to hear it, I won't make it difficult for me." Originally, I also thought, after all, we worked closely together yesterday, and if I didn't tell the news, I wouldn't be sorry for yesterday's friendship. Since you don't care anymore, why should I bother. Good bye. Schilling waved his hand and left himself.

This time it's my turn. What the hell is going on, God is mysterious. Schilling, you have a fart, not a man.
