In the world of alchemy, the essence of all alchemy is closely related to money, exchange of interests, and mutual benefit.

If you want to get alchemical resources, you have to pay a price.

And it's also very expensive, requiring the consumption of a huge amount of rare potions and materials.

The wealth of the alchemists is concentrated in their own territories and homes.

Now, the Fire Light Beast has given the Black Mountain Cottage to Li Ang, and of course Li Ang will not treat it badly, and directly gives it a territory.

The scale of this territory is not very large, only more than 400 acres, far less than the village of Ayr, let alone comparable to the capital of the kingdom, Luolan City.

However, it is also a stable income, which is very cost-effective for Leon.

He infused the soul brand into the alchemical soul and then dropped it in the storage space.

"Master."

The Flame Beast said beside him, "I'm the only one here, so there's no danger.

Would you like to consider moving your territory so that I can take care of it for you? ”

"Relocation?"

Li Ang frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It's not urgent to relocate, I'm not used to living for the time being." You can help me manage the territory first and wait until I find a new house. ”

"No problem." The Flaremon nodded repeatedly.

Leon waved his hand at the Firelight Beast and turned to walk out of the cave.

"I still have something to do." He commanded lightly: "If you encounter enemies, blow them up with the 'Burst Spider'." ”

The Flaming Beast bowed down and exited the cave.

Leon walked alone into the woods, along a wide, straight stone path, skirting the tall trees, and finally stopping at the end of a winding and rugged path, looking up.

At the end of the trail stands a majestic building.

Built in an Eastern European style, it is made of solid stone blocks and covers a large area, and the walls are painted with intricate totems and symbols, faintly flashing with electric light.

At the top of the building, a dark cloud floats, tumbling and surging, like a pair of bottomless black eyes, overlooking the crowd at your feet.

The black mist condensed into a huge hideous grimace, with teeth and claws, as if it wanted to devour everything around it, but it was afraid of something, hovering outside the building, never daring to enter it.

"That's what it is...... The sanctuary of the Black Mountain Village? Leon rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

The Sanctuary is not open to the public, but is dedicated to voodoo cultists who practice evil magic, and it is rumored that several voodoo altars are stored deep underground in the Black Mountain Fortress for Voodoo cultists to eat, as well as to drive away the undead and kill.

At this moment, near the Voodoo altar stood a group of voodoo cultists in gray robes and hoods.

They were men and women, old and young, all of them with stooping bodies, thin figures, as if they had grown out of the cracks of their bones, and their bodies were sickly.

In front of them, stood a tall wizard over eight feet tall, with a withered body, pale skin, dark lips, a sharp iron crown on his head, metal rings on his wrists and ankles, and a bloody black toad on his left and right shoulders, staring at Leon with bloody eyes.

At the waist of this corpse, there was also a strange staff.

The staff was covered in a thick, cold metal shell covered in uneven runes that exuded an unsettling and strange aura.

Leon squinted his eyes and looked at the staff carefully, and the exclamation of the Fire Light Beast sounded in his mind, "What a beautiful wand!" ”

"Hmm." Leon nodded.

"One of the core mysteries of alchemy is to use the magician's own magic power to construct an alchemy workshop or magic circle.

The stronger the alchemist, the more powerful the alchemy circle and staff will be. ”

"Sounds ...... It's amazing. ”

Leon sighed, "Did you see the runes on the staff?"

Together, are these runes the principle of alchemy? ”

The Fire Light Beast shook its head and said seriously, "Alchemy is a difficult subject to master, and although I know a lot of knowledge, I haven't studied it too deeply.

However, I once saw an alchemist cast a spell called 'summoning magic' that could summon a powerful summoned beast. ”

"Summoning beasts?" Li Ang was stunned for a moment, "How does this word sound similar to a pet in the game?" ”

"The word is a lingua franca, which means to summon beasts." "In alchemy, summoned beasts can change shape, combat power, and even take on the form of a human.

Some of the alchemists I remember also had a flame bird as a summon beast that could manipulate fire and spit lava.

Master, the core knowledge of alchemy is all-encompassing and wide-ranging. ”

"Understood."

Li Ang bowed his head and said, "Can you take me to the warehouse of the Black Mountain Cottage now?" ”

"Okay."

The Firelight Beast respectfully agreed, reached out and grabbed into the void, pulled out two large steam tanks out of thin air, and drove Li Ang towards the Black Mountain Cottage warehouse.

Located in the middle of the valley, the Black Mountain Cottage Warehouse occupies a vast area like a small palace.

Leon walked into the warehouse and was dazzled.

The neatly arranged shelves are stacked with bottles, jars, boxes and boxes, as well as all kinds of alchemical tools, materials and raw materials, and even two semi-finished golden clay pots.

Li Ang picked up a clay pot and weighed it, and then touched the label on the bottleneck, "Alchemy auxiliary equipment - alchemy mercury?" ”

"Well, a simple name for alchemy materials."

The Firelight Beast said, "This mercury is a special mineral with strong corrosive properties.

In addition to being made into ceramics, wine jugs and other tools, alchemical mercury can also be used as a compound additive in potions.

It's hard to find, so we have to make up the numbers by looting. ”

Leon nodded, and continued walking, stopping abruptly and casting his eyes on a corner where a wooden coffin was stacked.

The coffin was dark red in color, and a ring of iron chains was wrapped around it, and three older women and children were tethered, their clothes in tatters, unkempt, and their bodies trembling.

The Flame Beast walked up to the wooden coffin, knocked on the coffin with its claws, and muttered in a low voice, "Who is the target this time?" ”

"Are you sure these people are the villagers of the Black Mountain Village?"

Leon crouched down to examine the remains in the coffin, which were well-maintained and muscular, and looked like they hadn't been dead for long.

"Yes, Heishanzhai is a small tribe, there are fifty-two people in total, and each family has a wife and children.

I remember that the leader of the Black Mountain Village was surnamed Sun and was a big fat man. ”

The Flame Beast nodded, "But I haven't seen him with my own eyes, and it is said that he rarely shows up, and the dragon doesn't see the head but the tail."

In addition, his strength is very terrifying. ”

"Oh?" Li Ang raised his eyebrows.

"At the beginning, when he first took over as the leader of the Black Mountain Village, he was just an ordinary minion.
