158. The ignorant, greedy
"I am Maddie Manson, the commander of the Battle Alchemist. I was a member of the Heavy Exercise Alchemist Guild. Now, I work for the Alchemy Sanctuary as an elder in the Alchemy Branch of the Lower City. ”
The speaker was a man dressed in the Templar Guard's alchemical armament.
His alchemical armament is a silver armor with intricately carved patterns. The metal armor on his shoulders stretched out to the sides like wings. The white cloak on the back has a gold edging, and it is automatic without wind, making him imposing and majestic.
The commander, Maddie Manson, couldn't wait to arrive after noticing Maeve talking to Fleshy Eyes.
Li Nuo drew a "breath of the dead" magic scroll on the spot and gave it to Maddie Manson to use.
Maddie Manson politely declined Linuo's offer in a confident tone. He glanced at Li Nuo a few times, his gaze resting on the magic robe of the Death Society.
It can be seen that he cares a lot about Li Nuo, a powerful wizard.
Maeve briefly introduced Maddie Manson to Linot, saying that he had just used the Professor's high-level magic to clean up the enemies.
Madie Manson gave a brief greeting to Lenovo, and accepted the statement.
Li Nuo threw out the deconstruction technique and looked at it.
The energy required to fully deconstruct Maddie Manson is as high as 220,000 points. This shows that this person is a seventh-order alchemist, and he is also the kind that focuses on the combat field.
Li Nuo thought about it for a while, and he didn't see the picture of this alchemy sage making a move. But looking at the other party's confident appearance, I think the strength should not be weak.
Li Nuo put away the extra magic scroll and sat quietly on the sidelines, watching the scene where Maddie Manson and Maeve were talking with Flesh Eyes.
What Maeve wanted from the fleshy eyes was extraordinary knowledge about aberrations.
How do aberrations come about, whether aberrations are artificially created, whether they can transform certain things into aberrations through the power of magic, etc. Questions like these, Maevle is eager to get answers.
The reply given by the fleshy eyes is vague and seductive.
It says that the aberrant is actually a pet that is badly out of control. Under normal circumstances, the aberrant should grow into a "winged giant". It was uncertain if the power of magic could give rise to the "Winged Giant". Over the past few decades, however, it has seen many alchemists create aberrations with their arrays.
This simple passage also touches on the "winged giant", aberrations, alchemy, and magic, accurately captures the psychology of Maeve and Madie Manson, and also quietly hints that "magic may not give birth to the 'winged giant', but alchemy can." ”
This kind of ambiguous, full of the word "maybe", is like a fluffy dog's tail grass brushing the listener's heart, making people's hearts tickle.
At first glance, Flesh Lump Eyes answered Mayfler's question head-on. But on closer thought, it didn't actually say anything, just followed Mevele's words and repeated the problem in a different way.
In the face of such crooked words, wizards and alchemists showed a clear difference in attitude.
As a bystander, Li Nuo had a clear heart, and he only felt that what the fleshy eyes said was bullshit, full of demagoguery.
As a conversationor, there is a thirst for knowledge in her heart. Her reaction speed was a few seconds slower than Li Nuo's, but she quickly came back to her senses and was not led by the fleshy eyes.
Maddie Manson apparently believed the of the fleshy eyes. He preemptively asked Maeve before asking Flesh Eyes for more details.
The commander from the Alchemy Sanctuary branch summoned two robots from the Alchemy Armament. The robot on the left holds a large writing pad, and the robot on the right holds a pen.
Two manipulators scribbled several lines on the clipboard, and then held up the board to show the flesh to the eyes:
"We in the Gold Federation need universal metal powder. If you can provide us with a steady supply of multi-purpose metal powder, you can stay underground for the time being. We'll seal you away with the magic circle space. As long as you obey our arrangement, we will return the two 'winged giants' to you. ”
"Are you crazy? Maddie Manson. Maeve looked at the tall alchemist commander in disbelief:
"How can you tolerate a child polluted by an alien sky on your land?! Aren't you afraid that it will pollute everything about you?! Did you know that this is an extremely dangerous practice? Alien Sky Pollution does have the knowledge and extraordinary abilities we need, but they are not pets! Not neighbors!."
Maddie Manson reacted indifferently to Mayfler's questioning.
He crossed his waist, hovering in the air with the air jetted out of his alchemy cloak, his body straight, and his body exuded an undoubted momentum.
With a wave of his hand, he interrupted Mave's words:
"That's enough, ma'am. I have to warn you, this is the territory of the Alchemy Sanctuary. When it comes to dealing with extraterrestrial pollution, we have our own judgments and rules of conduct. Be careful with your words. The way you can enter this polluted realm is purely based on the contract we have signed with you. If you interfere with our communication with this fleshy eye, I may take some measures to clear the noise from the scene. ”
Mevele's body stiffened, and then trembled slightly, looking angry.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to remain calm. Thinking back to Fleshy Eyes and what Maddie Manson had said, a ridiculous speculation came to mind.
"I see." Maeve's voice trembled:
"You, you. Your Alchemy Sanctuary has long known that there is an alien tainted heir in the Black City, right? You use the power of this seed to mass-produce distortions and multipurpose metal powders. You've been working with alien pollution for so long, it's no wonder you've been preventing our Elemental Trials from conducting magical experiments on aberrations."
"It's not too late to let you know." Maddie Manson put it mildly:
"Do you think that the distortion of our production of universal metal powder was conjured out of thin air? We can only achieve this feat by harnessing the power of alien air pollution. To you wizards, the Polluted Realm is an invasion caused by alien pollution. But in our eyes, this is just an out-of-control incident of an alchemy device that produces universal metal powder. That fleshy eye was not so much the pollution of the alien sky as the core alchemy component with abnormal operating parameters. As long as we adjust its operating parameters, the alchemy unit for the production of universal metal powder will naturally get back on track. ”
In the clash of ideas, the two sides of the conflict often complain to each other in their hearts that the other is "stupid". Madison Manson and Maeve should be in that state.
After listening to Maddie Manson's theory, Maeve le's body trembled, her mouth opened and opened, and she didn't know how to refute the other party from where for a while.
In her opinion, all of Maddie Manson's views are wrong, especially the starting point.
Flesh Block Eyes can create distortions, and distortions can produce multipurpose metal powders. In this matter, the sorcerer's view is to delve into the extraordinary abilities of the fleshy eyes, dig out the principles and truths behind them, and then use magic to copy their abilities and become extraordinary abilities controlled by the sorcerer.
But in the eyes of the alchemists, led by Maddie Manson, they considered alien sky pollution to be a tool. As long as the operating parameters of the alchemy device are set, and regular maintenance and maintenance, you can use the alien sky pollution to produce what you want.
From the perspective of Li Nuo's bystander, these two approaches to dealing with alien sky pollution have their own merits.
The wizard's mind takes a lot of time and energy, and many dangerous magical experiments are carried out. The cost of the project research is extremely high, and the results are not always satisfactory.
The alchemist's idea is efficient, concise, with little investment, short cycle, and fast results, but it is very dangerous. Once the alien sky pollution gets out of control, an invasion event occurs.
Li Nuo felt that if he pursued efficiency and results in the short term, it was okay to adopt the alchemist's thinking, but in the long run, the wizard's thinking was correct.
Maeve froze for a full five seconds in the face of her disagreement with the alchemist, and then said with a long sigh:
"Alas, look around you, Madie Manson. The alien pollution invasion that occurred here destroyed most of the rift corridor, and countless alchemists died here. Even so, do you still think it's worth it to let the alien sky pollution persist in the Convergence City for a long time? ”
"Failure is the mother of success, and setbacks are the revelation of progress." Maddie Manson said disapprehantly:
"What happened here can only prove that the alchemy device we designed in the past is flawed, and we cannot deny our alchemy concept of applying what we have. When we complete the alchemy device for producing universal alchemy powder, this offspring of alien pollution will never have a chance to cause trouble. ”
Maeve asked:
"Is this what you mean, or is that what the Alchemy Sanctuary means?"
Maddie Manson responded:
"This is what all the great sages of the Alchemy Sanctuary meant, no one has raised any objections, and I am a strong supporter of this plan."
Maeve was silent. She sat on a magic broomstick, moved to the side, and stood with Li Nuo, becoming one of the bystanders.
Although Mefla didn't say it explicitly, her attitude was obvious. She had given up on communicating with Maddie Manson, and she didn't want to continue discussing matters with Fleshy Eyes as a conversationor.
Li Nuo shook his head secretly in his heart.
What do you mean by that?
The real chill is not making a fuss.
Mayfler's mental activity at this time should coincide with this statement.
Without her interference, Maddie Manson's conversation with Fleshy Eyes grew smoother.
The two companies discussed the production of general-purpose metal powders.
Maddie Manson wants things to go back to the way they were.
Maddie Manson wanted the Flesh Block Eye to obediently return to the sealed space that had sealed it before after removing the contamination realm.
Until the Alchemy Sanctuary develops a more efficient and secure alchemy array, the Flesh Block Eye continues to provide extraordinary power to the existing arrays in the sealed space. When the new alchemy array is developed, the flesh eyes must cooperate with the work of the Alchemy Sanctuary.
If, during this time, the Flesh Block Eye leaves the sealed space again, then the Alchemy Sanctuary will work with the wizards to punish it.
Huh? Wait a minute?
Punish with the wizards?
Meevle objected on the spot.
She said coldly:
"Thank you for your kindness, Maddie Manson. I inform you in advance that the Elemental Judgment will leave the Golden Federation within a month after the contamination of the field here is lifted. From now on, you will not receive any magical aid from the Elemental Judgment. ”
Maeve Le surprised Maddie Manson.
The alchemist commander was stunned for a moment and then asked:
"Don't you want to study distortion magic? Isn't that the knowledge you've always craved? ”
Maeve's voice did not fluctuate:
"We are wizards, not fools, and we are not fools to be toyed with. We respect the choice of each country. Since your Alchemy Sanctuary is determined to cooperate with alien pollution, we can only wish you good luck. There are so many extraordinary phenomena in the world that need to be studied, and the aberrations here in your Golden Federation are just one of them. You are not our only option. ”
Now it was Maddie Manson's turn to be silent. This guy and the Alchemy Sanctuary behind him probably thought that he and the others could use the research task of the Wizard Advance Society as a coercion to force the Elemental Judgment to cooperate with their work.
Now it seems that the actual situation is somewhat different from what the Alchemy Sanctuary envisioned.
Madie Manson thought for a few seconds, softened his tone a little, and said culiberously:
"Ma'am, is the Elemental Judgment willing to be involved in sealing the Tainted Offspring? We can share with you some of the alchemy devices that produce universal metal powders. This part of the device includes an alchemy facility for the mass production of distortions. You can use this part of the device to study distortion magic. ”
Li Nuo glanced at Maevle's expression without a trace, wanting to see how she reacted.
This is important.
Because I'll have to talk to the other party about cooperation later. If Maeve showed hesitation and vacillation in the face of Maddie Manson's overtures, then such a person is not qualified to be his partner with Li Nuo.
Fortunately, Mefla's performance was not bad.
The lady shook her head firmly and said:
"Thank you again for the kindness of the Alchemy Sanctuary. But the decisions I have made will never change. ”
After saying this, Maeval closed her mouth tightly and said no more.
Li Nuo gave a thumbs up in his heart and gave Maeve a thumbs up. The other party showed due courage and decisiveness on issues involving principles, which made Li Nuogao take a look. Working with such a person, the probability of being betrayed is generally very low.
Maddie Manson was annoyed by Mave's reaction.
However, he didn't show it, and maintained the momentum he should have as a commander:
"Oh, okay. We, the Alchemy Sanctuary, respect the decisions of the Elemental Judgment. ”
Maddie Manson gave a polite perfunctory remark, and turned into a conversation with Fleshy Eyes.
After about half an hour, the two sides prepared a draft.
The heir of the Blood Sun Divine Seal, the Flesh Eye, will untainish the realm as agreed and return to the sealed space. After that, it will serve the Alchemy Sanctuary for 50 years, taking on the task of mass-producing distortions and multipurpose metal powders.
As for the Alchemy Sanctuary, the two "Flying Winged Giants" will be handed over to the heirs of the Blood Sun God Seal. After 50 years, the other party can open the gap in the alien sky under the supervision of the Alchemy Sanctuary and return to his own body with the "Flying Winged Giant". For these 50 years, the Winged Giant will be kept in the custody of the Alchemy Sanctuary.
Is it a good deal to exchange two "winged giants" for 50 years of production of universal metal powder?
Maddie Manson clearly thinks it's a good deal. Since the draft was drafted, he exuded a jubilant atmosphere.
Not only did the Alchemy Sanctuary harvest 50 years of production of universal metal powder, but it also had 50 years to research the "Flying Wing Giant", and this transaction was a bloody bargain for the Alchemy Sanctuary.
He, Maddy Manson, is definitely a first-class hero.
Similarly, the Blood Clot Eye has also achieved its purpose and can return to its body with its own "runaway pet" after 50 years.
This draft is a win-win deal for both parties.
Meflle was noncommittal about the draft, but simply witnessed the birth of the draft.
As for Lino
He didn't think the Alchemy Sanctuary had earned it.
He only felt that Maddie Manson and the Alchemy Sanctuary were blinded by ignorance and greed
Li Nuo had a feeling that the Alchemy Sanctuary would be pitted by the flesh and eyes.
This is one of Li Nuo's observations.
Second, Li Nuo noticed a trace of abnormality:
The Alchemy Sanctuary doesn't seem to be aware of Nicole's existence.
It is not difficult to see from Maddie Manson's words that he thought that the fleshy eyes were directly locked in the sealed space.
But in fact, the fleshy eyes, as the contaminants of the Blood Sun God Seal, were attached to the angel seed, and then followed Nicole who contained the angel seed into the sealing space.
Without Nicole's pure soul and the suppression of the Blood Sun Divine Seal by the Angel Seed, as long as the fleshy eyes have enough strength, they can open the next gap in the alien sky.
With the cunning of the fleshy eyes, it would not be difficult for it to fool the two "winged giants" from the Alchemy Sanctuary into its own hands before opening a new gap in the alien sky.
Suffice it to say, what seems to be a win-win draft is actually evidence that the Alchemy Sanctuary has been deceived.
Li Nuo thought about it, there is only one reason why this scam is so perfect:
That is, among the humans on the scene, he is the only one who knows about the existence of the Angel Enterprise Complex. Flesh Lump Eyes also knew about the Angel Enterprise Consortium, but it never mentioned it to anyone from beginning to end.
Li Nuo raised his head and looked at the battlefield far away above.
During the time when the draft was being discussed, more combat alchemists entered the Pollution Realm. At this time, more than 10,000 participants gathered on the battlefield.
The Polluted Angel is controlled by the fleshy eyes and enters a state where he cannot fight back.
The battle alchemists easily killed more than forty of them.
At Maddie Manson's behest, only four Polluted Angels survived. Two of them are reserved for the fleshy eyes, and the other two are expected to be "laughed at" by the Alchemy Sanctuary.
"The Alchemy Sanctuary is even more greedy than I thought." Li Nuo muttered to himself.
Leno threw a deconstruction spell at the four surviving polluted angels, expending some energy to obtain a small portion of their personalized panel information.
The panels of the four polluted angels all list the "Mind Bondage Password" that controls them.
Li Nuo knew in his heart that after he left Dianjin Island, the greed and ignorance of the Alchemy Sanctuary were destined to plunge the Gathering City into turmoil again.
But at that time, he no longer ordered the Golden Island, and these four spiritual bondage passwords were useless.
Besides, Li Nuo only knew the password, and did not know the pronunciation of the password. Even when he was on the scene, he couldn't properly recite the command to control the polluting angels.
In the future turmoil of the Alchemy Sanctuary, it is estimated that the only external force that the Alchemy Church can rely on is the next first-level magic research institution.
