104. Shield of Iron Thorns

Li Nuo slowly panned the binoculars, moving the camera away from the leader of the convoy and scanning the convoy that was heading straight for him.

"Nearly forty quad bikes, each with one or two people in each car, all with firearms. That is, if they have bad intentions, I will have to face sixty to eighty enemies. Among them, there is also an extraordinary person who needs a full 10,000 energy points to fully deconstruct. ”

Li Nuo put down the binoculars and glanced around.

There were 15 corpses in his vicinity, 10 of them scavengers and 5 of them fishermen, barely enough to make a team of corpses.

With the "Death Technique" and the "Magic Shield", plus the "Fear Technique", it should be able to kill the ordinary people in that team.

But how to deal with the big guys in the team?

[Caster Form: Death Incarnate] is still on cooldown, and it will take about four days to use it.

Li Nuo thought about it for a moment or two, and felt that things were a little tricky.

The safest way to deal with it is undoubtedly to get on a quad bike and drive away while you haven't even entered the range of the opponent's firearms.

At that time, if the convoy wants to intercept him, it will have to divide into several squads and carry out the wrapping from different directions.

Li Nuo can't beat the big guy in the team, but if he wants to completely destroy the opponent's team and then break through, it should be no problem.

At this thought, Li Nuo stepped onto the motorcycle, turned the car key and ignited the engine.

Suddenly there was a whistle and shouts from the convoy.

"Chirp~~"

"Hey! Brothers! We are the people of Iron Thornshield Security! Not a scavenger! ”

Li Nuo squinted and saw that someone in the opposing convoy had erected a flag and was waving it left and right towards him.

The flag had a "Spiked Shield" pattern on it, as well as the words "Iron Thorn Shield Security Company".

Li Nuo picked up the binoculars again, observed the details of the team, and finally confirmed the identity of the other party.

It is indeed a fleet of security companies.

On closer inspection, these people are dressed more uniformly, with black jackets on their upper bodies and slightly casual lower bodies, wearing everything.

On the front of the black jacket, on the left chest, there is a pattern of "Spiked Shield", which is the logo of "Iron Thorn Shield Security Company".

In addition, there are no "skulls" or "human heads" on their motorcycles, which have anything to do with bloody horrors.

Overall, they are more decent and civilized than the scavengers.

Li Nuo retrieved the memories of the scavengers and retrieved the content related to the "Iron Thorn Shield Security Company".

After reading it as fast as he could, he stopped the car and chose to wait for the convoy in place.

When the leader of the convoy saw that Li Nuo had stopped where he was and did not drive away, he turned his head and waved to the team members behind him, asking them to put down their firearms.

The two sides tested each other and established initial trust, and an unexpected conflict was resolved.

The convoy stopped in front of Li Nuo.

Some of the team members entered the camp and cleaned up the scene.

The other part of the team was on guard with guns, watching the grass and gentle slopes around them vigilantly.

The leader of the team has a dark brown head, a stiff face and a straight nose.

If the clothes on his body were changed to the uniforms of the Imperial Army, he would be like a standard Imperial sergeant.

But now he wears baggy jeans, a plaid shirt and a black jacket.

He also walks with a swagger, and his movements are very casual.

For the first time, Li Nuo discovered that the stereotypes and dogmas of imperial men were not unchangeable.

Put an Imperial man in the fission wilderness, and he will become just as casual and casual.

After the leader of the convoy got out of the car, he went straight to Li Nuo.

He crossed his waist, looked Li Nuo up and down, and then asked in imperial Chinese:

"Dude, you've only been in the Fission Wilderness for a short time, haven't you?"

As the saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable.

While resting in the camp, Li Nuo changed into a local costume with blood and water, and covered his face with sunglasses and a face scarf.

The replacement of the Tartis Imperial military uniform and cloak were all rolled up by him and stuffed into his backpack, just waiting for an opportunity to burn them clean with a fire.

At this time, as soon as he heard that the leader of the convoy had revealed his identity, Li Nuo knew that it was the color of his skin exposed in the gap of the face towel that betrayed him...

"Well, yes. Just came here the other day. Li Nuo said in a calm tone.

The language he speaks is the native language of the Golden Federation.

The team leader raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"You've only been here for a long time, and you're going to be so fluent in speaking? … Forget it, we don't talk about this. Every Imperialist who came here from the Empire has his own sufferings. Now that you're here, let's start anew. ”

The leader of the convoy shook his hand and no longer asked Li Nuo where he came from.

He stretched out his right hand and said:

"I am Conte, the armed captain of the Iron Thornshield Security Company, a first-order alchemist with sixty or seventy brothers under his command. I came here on a cargo ship about eight years ago.

"I know very well how uncomfortable it is to be unfamiliar. If you can trust me, go with my convoy. When he arrived in Juju City, he found an errand to make a living, and then came to pay off the security insurance on the way.

"Of course, if you're worried that it's a trap or a trap, I can understand that, after all, that's what I thought at the time."

Li Nuo groaned, stretched out his right hand and shook it with the other party:

"I won't talk about my previous identity, in short, I have a very unsatisfactory life. Now I just want to start a new life. Just call me Li Lei. ”

Kant was oblivious to the wariness of Li'Not's words.

He raised his hand and waved it over the camp strewn with corpses and blood:

"Can you tell me what's going on here? Li lei. The fishermen's camp is protected by the Iron Buckthorn Shield Security Company. Although I wasn't in charge of the camp's security, and I wasn't here for the fishermen who had been killed, as an armed captain hired by Ironthorn Shield, I felt more comfortable asking someone about the situation when passing by. Can you give me an answer? ”

"Of course, there's nothing that can't be said. As you can see, the fishermen here are all dead. It was the scavengers who killed them. I happened to lack some food, drink, and means of transportation, so I killed all these scavengers. ”

Li Nuo's tone was still calm, as simple as killing a few gangsters and pinching a few ants to death.

Kante looked at the wheel and dagger on Linuo's waist, rubbed his chin and recalled:

"Hmm... As soon as we heard the gunshots, we rushed here, and we saw only you alive the whole time. You are the only one who can kill the scavengers on the spot. ”

Conte raised his hand and pressed his head on the top of his head, scratched it twice, glanced at the scavengers who had been hit in the forehead, and sighed:

β€œ1,2,3,4,5,6… You took out six scavengers with your revolver. There's also a guy who has had his throat cut open, and that's probably what you did, right? I really didn't expect it... All these years after I left the empire, the young people in the empire are already so powerful. ”

Kante clapped his hands and pulled out a business card from his coat pocket:

"Come, take it. This is my business card. If you're looking for a job to make a living, consider our Iron Thornshield Security Company. ”

Li Nuo took the business card, glanced at the words on the piece of paper, and asked:

"Are you short of manpower? Even I, the Imperial who smuggled over, dared to ask for it. ”

Kante crossed his waist and shrugged his shoulders:

"You're new here, so you probably don't know what's going on. This place is much more dangerous than in the Empire. The most things in the fission wilderness are people, and the most lacking are people. Everywhere you go, there are gunfights and fights. For a security captain like me, the biggest headache is not fighting, but recruiting. Not to mention stowaways like you, even if you are a wanted criminal and criminal in the Empire, the company dares to ask for it. Anyway, it's all about collecting money and working hard, the company pays, and we just work hard, so we don't have to worry so much. ”

Li Nuo glanced at the corpses of the scavengers and fishermen, "Yes, I already feel the 'passion' of the fission wilderness. The turnover of people here is really not ordinary... But, I'm sorry, Conte, I didn't even get my ID card, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the city. ”

Li Nuo said this so that he could simply change his appearance and body shape without revealing himself, not that he really couldn't enter the city.

"Oh, this one, little problem. The business of Iron Thorn Shield is still quite broad. ”

Conte spread his hands:

"If you're interested in joining, it's not a problem to get you a clean ID card. You can ask any of my fellows, this is the most basic treatment of the Iron Thorn Shield. ”

"Are you sure?" Li Nuo was slightly surprised.

"Of course. But you also have to know that it comes at a price. A clean ID card requires at least 100,000 aggregate coins to get your hands on. If you accept this card, then you must return the 100,000 before you can leave. As for whether you plan to stay in Iron Thornshield or go to another company or gang after you return to it, it's up to you to decide..."

Li Nuo's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly found that this Iron Thorn Shield security company was a little capable.

In the memories of the scavengers, 100,000 aggregate coins can only be bought on the black market with an identity card with a penalty record.

This type of card is called an inferior card.

Holders of inferior cards can only move around a small area and are restricted from spending and lodging.

Having a clean ID card is no problem, and you can travel around the lower city of the Aggregation City without hindrance.

On the black market, clean ID cards have no price, and basically no one takes them out to sell them.

It seems that only a security company like Iron Thorn Shield has a stable channel to get a clean identity card.

Li Nuo originally planned to go to the black market to "prostitute for nothing" a good bad card.

But now that the opportunity to get a clean ID card has appeared, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

Li Nuo thought for a moment and asked:

"Aren't you afraid I'll slip away with a clean ID card, Conte? How can you be sure that I can pay back the 100,000? ”

"Good question. To tell you the truth, we have indeed encountered the situation you mentioned before, and some of the guys did not take our identity cards and walked away. Although they were all caught in the end, it still caused a lot of trouble. To this end, we at the Iron Thorn Shield will use employment contracts protected by the Alchemy Sanctuary to protect our rights and interests. When you get to the company, you'll see the contract. ”

Conte snapped his fingers:

"As for how I'm sure you can pay back the 100,000, I have a proposal. We're on a security mission right now, so consider it your probationary period. As long as you cooperate with me to complete this mission in the next time, I will count you as passing my investigation.

"You must be wondering if I let a stranger come to the mission will have a negative impact on the mission. For example, you recruit enemies, or you are simply a spy for a rival gang. If you have this question, it just means that you are thinking too much. I don't think a guy who can stand up and shoot a scavenger is going to be a lackey of a gang. ”

Li Nuo put away the business card and nodded slightly:

"Okay, Kante, I have no objection, let's start with this security mission... If Iron Thorn Shield can really provide me with a flawless identity card, then I think it is good to raise enough 100,000 yuan for Iron Thorn Shield to work part-time. ”

"Okay, that's it." Conte grinned:

"After the completion of this mission, you will still be paid, but as you know, the amount of reward during the probationary period will definitely be smaller. The exact amount will have to wait until the end of the task to confirm... Do you have any questions? ”

"No, it's gone." Li Nuo shook his head, having no objection to Kante's arrangement.

"That's good." Kante turned his head and urged the team members on the scene to speed up:

"Guys, keep going, we can't afford to delay here for too long."

"Okay, head."

"Yes, head."

Conte's men responded to the captain's shouts, and the camp was in full swing.

Li Nuo looked at this scene with a clear division of labor, and his impression of the Iron Thorn Shield in his heart was a little higher.

Compared with gang members' bullying and indiscriminate killing of innocents, Li Nuo prefers a security company like Iron Thorn Shield.

Until you're fully familiar with the Fission Wilds, staying at the Iron Thornshield Security Company might be a good choice.

When your cognition and strength are enough to support yourself to fly solo, it's not too late to think about leaving.

Anyway, it's not the same time now, he has a lot of spells in his hands, as long as he has the heart to leave, there will definitely be a way.

Li Nuo nodded secretly, it should be right to choose to join the Iron Thorn Shield temporarily.

…

After about five minutes, all the bodies and supplies in the camp were sorted out.

Before leaving, Conte wrote a note relaying what had happened to the Iron Thornshield security team patrolling the area.

After that, he waved his hand and beckoned the team members to get into the car, leaving all the scavengers' motorbikes and supplies to the patrolling security team.

Li Nuo's motorcycle is the one he snatched from the waste pickers.

After a little practice, he drove decently, following the slender convoy in a northwesterly direction.

The wheels ran over the grass, leaving two rut marks on the green ground.

While controlling the faucet, Li Nuo looked at the front of the convoy, and his eyes fell on Conte's back.

A strange look flashed in his eyes obscured by sunglasses.

It's weird.

Very strange.

This Kante looks like an ordinary person, with no three heads, six arms, and no glowing eyes or hair, but why is his energy consumption so large?

10,000 energy points, which is ten times the cost of a second lieutenant in the Deconstructed Empire.

Could it be that Conte is a powerful extraordinaire disguised as an ordinary person?

Or is it more energy to deconstruct an alchemist than to deconstruct the "Fist of the Empire"? It's the same as deconstructing wizards.

Li Nuo had only met this one alchemist so far, and he was not sure what the crux of the problem was, so he could only temporarily attribute the reason to the fact that alchemists also had to master a lot of theoretical knowledge.

…

[System News: You have been driving the "Simple Quad Bike" for three hours in a row, and you have unlocked the new passive skill "Vehicle Control", which is currently level 1. 】

Li Nuo glanced at the news in his mind, rubbed his numb legs and stepped off the motorcycle, and let out a long sigh of relief.

After a hurry, Conte's convoy finally arrived at the mission location.

Li Nuo's ass and thighs finally attracted a chance to rest.

It's a valley full of forests, with gorgeous wildflowers and lively animals.

There was also a clear stream that flowed from the depths of the valley and merged into a small lake near the convoy.

If this place is fenced off and a toll booth is set up, it will be enough to use it as a tourist attraction to earn entrance fees.

Of course, this is what Li Nuo did in the world before he traveled.

Here in the Golden Federation, a place with such beautiful scenery is basically occupied by major extraordinary forces.

Li Nuo and the accompanying team members inquired.

The valley in front of you is called the Valley of the Drawing Water.

The entire valley is an asset of the Gold Chamber of Commerce.

All the mountain spring water produced in the valley is also covered by the Golden Chamber of Commerce.

The mission of Conte's team here is to escort high-quality mountain spring water to the Convergence City.

Don't think that "high-quality mountain spring water" is a bargain.

If this mountain spring water was very cheap, the Golden Chamber of Commerce would not have hired a security team of sixty or seventy people to escort it.

In fact, the mountain spring water produced here is an important raw material for the alchemy workshops in the city to make high-end alchemy potions.

Referring to the memories before and after the crossing, Li Nuo thought that there would be several cars full of buckets driving out of the valley.

But he soon found himself making preconceived mistakes.

Out of the valley was an alchemist.

He was wearing khaki cargo pants and a cargo top, with thick glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the black hair on the top of his head was neglected, which was a little sloppy.

Feedback from the Deconstruction Technique revealed that this person, like Conte, needed to spend 10,000 energy points to deconstruct 100%.

There is indeed a clear difference between the extraordinary and the extraordinary.

The first-order "Fist of the Empire" only needs 1,000 energy points to be completely deconstructed.

Alchemists and wizards have increased tenfold on this basis.

This is a universal phenomenon, not an isolated one.

Just as Leno pondered why this was happening, the alchemist in overalls pulled out a pendant from under his collar.

A bright but gentle white glow, flowing from the oval stone on the pendant, caught Lino's attention.

All his teammates, including Li Nuo, focused their attention on that dazzling stone.

This must be an alchemy stone... Leno stared at the white glowing stone and threw out the deconstruction.

[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "Alchemy Stone of Unknown Effect.] 】

[It is estimated that 9000 energy points will be consumed to achieve 100% deconstruction completeness.] 】

The alchemist's alchemy stone is made by his own hands, and only the alchemist himself can use it.

In the common sense of alchemy, the alchemist and the alchemy stone are inseparable.

It takes 9,000 energy to deconstruct the alchemy stone...

Deconstructing an alchemist requires 10,000 energy...

So, if you only deconstruct the alchemist himself, it only takes a thousand energy points, right?

Li Nuo narrowed his eyes, locked his gaze on the alchemist in overalls, and threw deconstruction at him alone.

[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "Extraordinary with an unknown name."] 】

[It is estimated that 10,000 energy points will be consumed to achieve 100% completion of deconstruction.] 】

Li Nuo frowned slightly, changed his angle, and threw deconstruction at the man in overalls.

But no matter how he tries, the prompt message fed back by the system is the same.

The answer is clear.

Leno can deconstruct the Alchemy Stone alone, but cannot deconstruct the Alchemist alone.

It's as if the alchemy stone is the essence of the alchemist.

It's really in response to the widely circulated sentence in the Golden Federation:

The alchemist's ability is all in the alchemy stone.

Li Nuo was a little curious about the secret of the alchemy stone.

He pulled up his personal panel and glanced at his energy inventory.

…

[Energy] 21162/16 points

…

Theoretically, he put in less than half of the energy value, which is enough to deconstruct the alchemy stone.

But the thought that this knowledge could be found in the Convergence City, or obtained by attacking alchemy stones, made him feel that it was not worth it.

Only when the cost of mastering alchemy through fighting and learning is higher than deconstructing the alchemy stone with energy points, will Li Nuo consider using deconstruction to understand the secrets of the alchemy stone.

Otherwise, it will become a loss-making transaction.

Li Nuo thought for a moment and decided to suppress the curiosity in his heart for the time being, and arrived at the Gathering City first.

He looked up at Conte and the man in overalls, just in time to see the man in overalls grabbing a hazy blob of light from the glowing oval stone.

The man in the overalls palms upwards and places the light cluster in his palm.

The light of the light cluster shrinks inward, forming a transparent glass container.

The terrarium is filled with clear mountain spring water.

The scale mark on the container shows that 3,000 liters of mountain spring water were stored in such a palm-sized container.

Li Nuo took a closer look at the tick marks and made sure that he was not mistaken, it was indeed "three thousand liters".

So, to a certain extent, alchemy stones can be used as a space pocket... Li Nuo nodded in thought.

"Conte, I've already filled the springs... Why are you guys so late? The man in the overalls asked, showing the transparent container in his hand.

Conte doubled over the volume of the liquid in the container and said:

"Don't mention it, Fars. We met a gang of scavengers on the road. Those damn maggots smashed our yard and killed five fishermen. When they get back to town, the company will definitely have to settle accounts with their gang. ”

Cont confirms that the amount of liquid in the container is correct.

He straightened up and looked at the glow in the sky:

"Now that we're ready, let's go. If you hurry up, you should be back in Convergence City by midnight... Everyone, get on board! ”

Kante said to the young man next to him:

"Mark, make room for Fars. You go and sit with Li Lei, and introduce him to Convergence City by the way. ”

Fars was the alchemist in charge of filling the water.

Mark is the vice captain of the security team, a native of Convergence City, with dark skin, a slender body, a well-proportioned muscle, short hair with pigtails, and looks very energetic.

When he got Canter's order, he nodded, turned and ran away:

"Okay, Captain, I just want to hear the story of the Empire too."

"Stinky boy, if people don't want to say it, don't ask." Conte admonished Mark's back.

Mark waved his hand behind him, "Got it, head, I'm measured." ”

Looking at the vice-captain who ran towards him, Li Nuo moved his butt twice to vacate the driver's seat.

"Hello, Mark. You can drive a motorcycle, I'm not sure how to steer with a person. ”

"No problem, leave it to me. Your federal language is really good, did you teach yourself before you left the Empire? ”

Mark sat in the front seat, expertly lit a motorcycle, and followed the convoy out of the valley.

Facing the self-cooked vice-captain, Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said in a calm tone:

"Now that I'm ready to leave the Empire, I have to be prepared, don't I... By the way, Mark, what's going on with that transparent container in Fars' hand just now? Am I looking away? Why can that thing hold 3,000 liters of mountain spring water? ”

As soon as Mark heard Li Nuo's question, he immediately looked excited.

He raised his arms and waved them, howling wistfully.

"This is the power of alchemy!"

The team members before and after threw calm glances at him, as if they had long been accustomed to the vice-captain's energetic appearance at the mention of "alchemy"...

Mark pressed the motorcycle faucet, stared at the ground in front of him, and told Li Nuo a lot of alchemy common sense, and his words were full of love for alchemy.

Li Nuo originally thought that the common sense he was talking about should be similar to the knowledge in the memory of the scavengers.

But as the content gradually spreads, Li Nuo's eyes also have a little more expectation and praise.

Alchemists, a group of extraordinary people, are worthy of being extraordinary people based on alchemy theory and alchemy experiments.

Their understanding of "spirit" is very different from that of the Necromancy.

The Necronomicon is a group of dead people whose bodies rot and whose souls live forever.

They seek relief from the memories of their sufferings to improve their "spiritual" attributes, and in conjunction with war and corpses, they collect a large number of soul detritus and increase their soul strength.

Alchemists are not like that.

They argue that:

In order to improve something that has no substance, such as spirit and soul, it is necessary to first transform both into entities, and then indirectly elevate the spirit and soul by transforming them.

The "entity" mentioned here is the "alchemy stone" that every alchemist has.

The main material of alchemy stone is the spirit and soul of the alchemist himself.

Through a special spirit transposition ritual, they transformed the spirits and souls that they could not see or touch into alchemy stones that could be held in their hands.

In the language of gamification:

Alchemy is the embodiment of the two attributes of "spirit" and "soul strength".

Improve the quality of alchemy stones with better alchemy materials.

Use alchemy runes to add special effects to alchemy stones.

Use a more powerful alchemy formula to transform regular alchemy stones into unique alchemy stones.

All of the above can improve the attributes of "Spirit" and "Soul Strength", and give the alchemist extraordinary abilities.

This is the secret of alchemists' ability to master extraordinary powers.

For example, Fars, who is responsible for extracting and filling mountain spring water, has the extraordinary ability to transport a large amount of mountain spring water at one time after attaching "water pumping runes" and "water storage runes" to his alchemy stones.

This extraordinary ability, which seems harmless to humans and animals, is actually aggressive.

With the "Anti-Acid Rune" and "Jet Rune", Fars will be able to pre-store acidic liquids and spray acidic water with an acid-etching effect on enemies during battle.

The higher the grade of the rune, the better the acid etching effect of the acid water, and the farther the distance of the acid water spray, the more significant the attack effect of Fars.

This increase in strength comes from a more efficient combination of alchemy runes.

Suffice it to say, there are no junk alchemy runes, only alchemists who are so garbage that they can't match alchemy runes.

As long as you are smart enough and willing to study, any alchemy rune can shine in a certain field.

And the key to all this is how to have your own alchemy stone.

Mark spoke eloquently on this topic:

"In the entire Golden Federation, only the Alchemy Sanctuary has mastered the Spirit Transposition Ritual.

"The Alchemy Sanctuary will issue a certain number of ritual quotas to each city every year, so that eligible people in each city can become alchemists."

"For example, in our Gathering City, there will be more than 300 places every year. More than seventy percent of the places are at the disposal of the alchemy academy in Shangcheng District, and are generally used for alchemy apprentices who have passed the entrance exam. The remaining thirty percent are in the hands of the major extraordinary forces.

"If you have saved enough one million aggregate coins and passed the alchemy academy's self-taught alchemy exam, then you will be able to purchase a ceremony quota from the Iron Thorn Shield. The owner behind our Iron Thorn Shield is the Gold Chamber of Commerce, which can allocate at least 20 places every year.

"A large group of people have broken their heads, and they want to see if they have the ability to ascend to the sky and become alchemists, but every year, only one or two people can pass the exam and get the quota in the hands of the Gold Chamber of Commerce."

Li Nuo repeated the number:

"A million... You just said that you need 1 million aggregate coins to buy a ceremony quota? Wouldn't it take a long time to work in a security company to make up the money? ”

"No, no, no, Li Lei." Mark shook his head repeatedly:

"The bulk of our income is not the base salary, but the remuneration for tasks. Just like this mission. If we send Fars and the three thousand liters of mountain spring water into the alchemy workshop safe and sound, then each of us will be able to get 8,000 to 10,000 aggregate coins. If you encounter a robber on the way, the loot from defeating the robber can also be exchanged for a lot of money. It is conservatively estimated that this mission is worth half a month's salary. ”

"Oh, that's pretty good," Li Nuo nodded.

"However, although many people can earn a million aggregate coins, most of them can't keep this money, or they don't want to become alchemists at all." Mark shook his head and sighed.

"Why is that?" Li Nuo took on the role of a compliment in a timely manner.

"They know that they can't pass the self-study alchemy exam, so they will use the money to spend all their time, or buy a house, find a woman, and when they make enough money in the security company, they will move to a safer company and live an ordinary life."

Mark shook his head with a sigh:

"I don't think I'll be able to pass the self-taught alchemy exam either, but I'm going to give it a try. If you can't pass the test the first time, it's to take it again. I can't pass it twice, so I can only admit it, and use the money I saved to buy a house with peace of mind, and then look for an honest and beautiful woman. ”

With that, Mark swallowed...

It seems that at his age, the attraction of a woman is indeed quite great...

Li Nuo is not very interested in women, but wants to know about the so-called "alchemy exam".

He couldn't help but ask:

"What's so difficult about this self-taught alchemy exam?"

"It is said to be an alchemy test for self-learners, but in fact it is exactly the same as the entrance exam. The amount of questions is large, the questions are difficult, the knowledge points are so many that they explode, and there are many conjecture questions and text experiment questions without standard answers. ”

As soon as Mark thought of book knowledge, his face suddenly turned long:

"Just an alchemy book that requires a full memory is half a person's height. I've only read the most superficial ones so far... I really don't know how the captain passed the exam in the first place. ”

"Well, it seems that passing the self-study alchemy exam is not an overnight thing."

As he spoke, Linuo's eyes flickered.

Once upon a time, he judged that deconstruction of core systems was not suitable for combat, and was more inclined to theoretical research.

He also regretted that he didn't have such a system before he crossed over, otherwise he would definitely be able to win the national exam championship.

Now, here's your chance to prove that you're a top student.

The alchemy exam, which focuses on the accumulation of knowledge, is simply tailor-made for him.

"Mark, can you lend me a book on alchemy? I wanted to see if I had any talent for it. If you need to pay, that's fine. ”

Mark shook his head and said:

"No money, Lei Li. When you get to Convergence City, I'm going to take you to a hotel to stay overnight. When the time comes, you can go around with me and borrow whatever you want. I recommend you start with "A Brief History of Alchemy in the Golden Federation", the content of this book is quite interesting... Actually, there's another way to become an alchemist. ”

"What?" Li Nuo blinked.

"That is to explore the ruins of the Dian Jin Dynasty. If you can find precious alchemy blueprints, sage manuscripts, sage particles and the like, then the Alchemy Sanctuary will directly reward you with a set of alchemy weapons to help you become an alchemist.

"Look at our captain, he's obviously not a good student to read. He just took a shit luck and stumbled upon the manuscript of an ancient alchemy sage, so he could become an alchemist... Huh? Wait, wait! ”

Mark was bragging about, suddenly stopped talking, picked up the binoculars, and looked at the horizon in the distance.

The sunset is about to disappear under the earth, the sun is like blood in the sky, and the people and objects in the distance are presented in the form of black silhouettes.

Leno followed Mark's line of sight, narrowed his eyes, and threw deconstruction at the black far point that wriggled on the horizon.

[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "Extraordinary One with an Unknown Name"...]

[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "heavily armed scavengers"...]

There's an enemy coming this way... Li Nuo suddenly judged the current situation.

The one who was marked by the system as an "Extraordinary One with an Unknown Name" was supposed to be an alchemist as well.

Mark has no system at his disposal, and can only rely on telescopes and the naked eye to observe the situation in the distance.

Conte and Fars, although these two are alchemists, should not have mastered the extraordinary ability of long-range reconnaissance.

Like Mark, they watched with binoculars for a few minutes, waiting until the opposing convoy had become large enough in their field of view before they realized that someone was not coming.

"Attention! A convoy of unknown intentions appeared in the direction of 11 o'clock! Kante shouted to the team behind him:

"Everyone checks the weapons and equipment, puts on helmets and bulletproof masks, loads the bullets, and is ready for battle!"

Mark handed the binoculars to Leno while he operated the motorcycle and checked the ammunition for his guns.

Li Nuo held up the binoculars, observed for a while, and then asked:

"Mark, I seem to see the 'wolfdog with a human face' pattern on the flag. Which gang is this a sign of? ”

"It's the Fierce Dogs!" Mark paused, then shouted to the front:

"Captain, Li Lei has seen the pattern of the flag, that group of guys should be the armed scavengers of the Fierce Dog Gang!"

Conte looked back at Li Nuo, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, as if he had suddenly guessed part of Li Nuo's true identity.

Li Nuo nodded calmly, he knew what Kante was thinking, this was something he did on purpose.

At the moment when the sun is about to sink completely into the ground, the surrounding environment is shimmering.

With this faint intensity of light, what kind of imperial man would see more clearly than the others?

That's right, it's an Imperial sergeant who has been injected with Imperial Army Booster Potions.

To be precise, it was the "shimmering vision" brought about by the injection of the enhancement agent that helped the Imperial sergeant distinguish between people and objects in the low-light environment.

After absorbing some of Kaisha's and Greensau's memories, Leno weaves himself a plausible identity as an Imperial.

Deliberately showing visual uniqueness was the first step in establishing a false identity.

Kante withdrew his gaze from Li Nuo and shouted:

β€œβ€¦ Everyone erect the bulletproof plate on the motorcycle, pay more attention to the surroundings, and don't get entangled by the wolfdogs of the Fierce Dog Gang! Those bitches love to bite people with hungry wolfdogs! ”

Mark flicked the nest, spun the bullet, reached out and pulled on the chassis of the motorcycle, erecting metal bulletproof plates on both sides of the motorcycle that acted as cover.

He smiled at Lenovo, revealing two rows of teeth that glittered in the setting sun:

"Those people are presumably the scavengers of the Fierce Dog Gang. They treat us like ordinary caravans. The battle should be over soon. Because we have alchemists in our convoy, but not in our convoy. ”

The corners of Li Nuo's mouth, hidden under the face towel, twitched slightly.

This Mark is good for everything.

Talkative, self-cooked, enthusiastic, and straightforward.

I just like to plant flags for my own people, so I have to get rid of it quickly...
