Chapter 235: A Journey to the Underground (10)
(Thanks to the "I just miss you" tip!, and thank you to the brothers who clicked on the collection recommendation!)
Leon and Kaka were both a little stupid, which caused the whole team to fall silent at the same time, and everyone's eyes, including Erin, turned around on them, not knowing what the situation of the two masters and apprentices was.
Kaka turned around for a long time, then suddenly stopped, and said conclusively: "This seems to be the mark of a certain organization, but I have recalled it for a long time, and it seems that I have never seen it. ”
As an alchemy master who was over a hundred years old and had been wandering the continent for decades, it could be said that Kaka's experience and experience far surpassed that of others, and even far surpassed some of the knowledgeable master spellcasters - of course, those scholar mages in Candle Castle were not among them. But even so, compared to this continent that is too old to explore, what the alchemy master can understand is only a drop in the ocean, and it is normal for him not to recognize the origin of a mysterious organization - this is the original words that Kaka said with his feet in front of everyone's eyes.
His high-pitched voice interrupted the apprentice's thoughts, and Leon took another piece of paper from his bag and handed it to Kaka.
"What is this?" asked the alchemist, whose attention was drawn again, as he took the piece of paper.
Leon lowered his voice and briefly explained the origin of the piece of paper to his mentor, and soon Kaka's gaze was withdrawn from the piece of paper, and he looked at the cloth that the apprentice was showing him, and his face changed.
"You mean ......"
Li Ang nodded repeatedly.
"Hey......" Erin's voice suddenly sounded, "I said you two, what can't you say?
Leon squinted at the mage girl, and knew very well what was going on in the gossip girl's mind - didn't you say this out of curiosity?
However, he also admitted that Erin had a point, and that these people on the team were all trustworthy companions now, and the way he spoke in a low voice just now was not intentional, it was just a subconscious behavior.
The time to repeat it was very short, and when everyone knew the origin of the piece of paper and the words on it, their eyes changed when they looked at the mark on the cloth.
"If I'm guessing correctly, these two things belong to two different people, but they are pointing to the same organization," Leon said, "The people in the organization should all be called by numerical codes, the mysterious person just now is No. 23, and the archmage I met in Brown Bear Town may be a subordinate of No. 17." ”
"Are they all here for us?" asked Caterina.
"I'm not sure," Leon replied, "but if it were common sense, by the time we returned to Campbell, the so-called plan would have been implemented, so the Brown Bear affair wasn't necessarily specifically targeted, and we probably just happened to be there." ”
"Your judgment should be correct," Erin said, "If this mark represents a certain organization, then the strength of the fourth-order undead summoning master can be seen from the fact that they only have a mark of number 23, and if such an organization wants to target us people...... There was no need for conspiracy. ”
"Yes!" Leon nodded, agreeing with Erin's words, while he touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "This time there is another 23rd, but I still feel that we are not his main target, the way he attacked just now can show that he knows very little about us, with the scale of this organization, if it is specifically against a target, it is simply impossible to make such a mistake." ”
"Mentor, did you say that?" Seeing that Kaka had not spoken, Leon immediately changed the topic with "interest".
"Say what!" Kaka glared, "You've said everything you have to say!
"At the critical moment, it has to be reminded by the mentor!" Li Ang slapped his right hand on his left hand and exclaimed, "Otherwise, I got carried away from the discussion just now, and almost forgot about the matter!"
"Get out of the way!"
Several girls held back a smile and followed Leon as they began to march deeper into the pathway.
In fact, of course, Li Ang did not forget the purpose of this trip just now, but took the opportunity of the discussion to let everyone take a break, but the more they discussed, the more they realized that some of the things implied in the topic were too heavy, so he immediately found an excuse to stop, otherwise the further discussion might bring pressure to his companions.
After setting off again, he did not continue the previous topic, but took out a lot of glass bottles from his bag and distributed them to everyone.
"This is a potion that I personally refined under the teachings of my mentor!" the young lord was a little proud, "The blue one can restore the spirit, the purple one can restore the body, and the red one can heal the injury!"
"Brother Leon, these potions look much stronger than the ones sold in the store, aren't they the highest grade!" Sophia shook the glass bottle in her hand, her face full of adoration.
"These can only be regarded as micro-effect potions, but with the special process of the mentor, the effect can almost exceed one-third," Li Ang was a little embarrassed by the blind trust of the priest girl, but after finishing speaking, he suddenly perked up and raised the dimensional bag that specially held the potion, "But if you let it go, it's all here!"
“...... Even if these potions consume the most basic materials, they are not as wasteful as you!" Kaka interrupted the apprentice's show-off, "You can give me a solid lesson on how to refine intermediate potions when you have time in the future!"
This time, Li Ang was humbly taught, in fact, his alchemy was already level three, and he was only one step away from intermediate alchemy, even if he was really busy during this period of time, but with such an alchemy master by his side, it really shouldn't be that he didn't make an inch of alchemy for many days.
He reflected on it for a while, knowing that he didn't have time to learn, but that he had developed a kind of inertia, and always felt that since the tutor was there, it was the same to learn alchemy early and late, so he ignored it intentionally or unintentionally.
Kaka looked at Leon's expression and nodded, he was very pleased with the sincerity of the apprentice, he also discovered Leon's dependence, so he took this opportunity to knock it, and it seemed that the effect was not bad.
However, Kaka also knew that it had not been easy for Li Ang for more than two months, especially now that he was concerned with the expectations of many people, and he was also burdened with the responsibility of a territory, and at the same time, it was not easy for his strength to progress so quickly. Although you have the obligation to teach as a teacher, you can't push a good seedling with infinite potential too hard.
So Kaka slowed down and changed the subject.
"Since the person you said has escaped, then he may reappear at any time on the next journey, and it shouldn't be as simple as last time, you must be mentally prepared. ”
"Yes, although the other party is a fourth-order ......," the young lord who had finished reflecting continued, "but we still have a lot of tricks to use, and Master Kaka hasn't made a move, so there's no need to be nervous." ”
"But is he a master of undead summoning?" Leon didn't know much about this, so he turned his gaze to the others.
"I think so," Erin said, "although there is a difference in number and strength, it is likely to be the effect of a magic item." ”
"What do you think, Katarina?"
Erin is a well-traveled mage who already has the corresponding experience and experience, and Caterina graduated from a specialized knight academy and knows a lot about the dark realm, so Leon wants to listen to the opinions of the two of them.
"I think it's possible to be a Revenant Master," Caterina replied as she walked forward with a straight posture, "Slavery requires the Revenant Master's control to be activated, and they are good at psychic attacks, and they can also drive a large number of undead creatures through guò psychic control, as for the door you mentioned, it can also be achieved through some kind of summoning scroll, isn't it?"
Both of them had different explanations, and both sounded reasonable, and Leon frowned and began to wonder which one was more in line with the actual situation.
But soon a girl's voice rang out, "Since Sister Erin thinks she is a master of summoning the undead, and Sister Caterina thinks she is a master of the soul, why can't this person be like Brother Leon and have two professions at the same time?"
Sophia's words made several people, including Kaka, pause at the same time, "That's right, why can't you make the dual profession of the Undead Summoning Master and the Revenant Master?"
As the team marched again, Kaka lamented, "Sometimes our ideas are too complicated, too rigid in our own experience and vision, unlike some simple-minded people......"
Speaking of this, the alchemy master looked at the priest girl who was grinning, and then said, "Their casual words sometimes are closer to the truth of the matter. ”
"There's a good chance that this person is a dual-professional, and it's a dual-fourth-order spellcaster!"
