Caterina was entangled.

I have to say that Li Ang's words moved this girl a little, first of all, to become a lord or even a subordinate of a monarch, to be the strongest shield in front of them and the sharpest spear in their hands is the glory of every knight. Secondly, the companions around her have cultivated a fairly solid trust after this period of time, she has long been accustomed to the atmosphere of such a small team, and the thought of being away from them in the future makes Caterina feel an inexplicable melancholy in her heart.

And the most important thing is the leader of this team, Leon. The girl knew that his position in her heart was different now, and she was willing to always be by Leon's side to fight together, grow together, and work together to realize Leon's ideals.

She lives in a small neutral country, the most famous of which is the Rose Knight Academy, which is open to everyone, and aims to send official knights to her own country and other countries in order to increase her country's influence, so she doesn't have to worry about whether to repay or not, but ...... Will that family let itself go, and will my mother be willing to leave her home with her?

Too many questions...... The more Caterina thought about it, the more sad she felt.

But when she looked at Li Ang, she suddenly felt that she had some courage again, forget it, what do you want to do now, just try to fight for yourself after you go back, as for the tuition fee...... I should be able to save a lot this year, I guess I can pay it back, right?

And the mother's will is also important...... If you really can't do it......

Thinking of this, Caterina looked up at Leon - so, cherish the present.

"Ah...... It's so full," said the heartless Sophia, patting her stomach, she was the one who didn't feel the most after listening to Li Ang's words, because for this priest girl, it didn't matter much if Li Ang made any decisions, anyway, just follow along.

Melissa has always been influenced by Sophia, so she doesn't think too much, at most, she feels that the head of the regiment just now seems to be very strong, but she understands that Leon hopes that everyone will become more powerful, and she herself has already worked in this direction.

"And I seem to be a second-order...... Why, why didn't anyone ask me?" the wild girl felt a little aggrieved.

Jeff's eyes lit up a little, he was thinking very seriously about his ability in the team, at first his brows were slightly furrowed, but he quickly relaxed, he should have figured it out in some way.

......

Soon the campfire was quiet, and everyone except Leon and Kaka fell asleep, they were indeed tired from the day, especially Katarina, who was also under psychological pressure during the battle.

Kaka tried intently, and although his expression remained the same, the continuous change of technique showed that the progress was not going well.

Leon was not idle, he took out the oil and burned the collected human bones into ashes, and then put them in a small bag to give to Old Jack later.

It was almost time to finish this matter, Kaka paused for a moment and said, "That's it, if there is another half a day, maybe the success rate will be a little more, but not too much." ”

"How much now?" asked Leon.

"A quarter. ”

Li Ang nodded slightly, in such a short period of time, for an alchemy master to crack the powerful secret spell trap of a spellcaster of the same level, the success rate of such a success should be considered very high, at least much higher than forcibly cracking it.

"But when it is officially carried out in a while, you can only be left alone at most, and I will drink a few bottles of strong elemental resistance potions in advance, but even if the contents are all destroyed, the cost will be counted on your head!"

"No problem," said Leon, knowing that the money that the alchemy master had "thrown" out of this trip had already caused tons of consumption...... So it doesn't matter if you have more, as the saying goes, you don't have to worry if you have too much debt, right?

So at Kaka's behest, Leon called out to the other members of the group to keep them away, while the head of the group himself was a little closer, ready to help the mentor at any time, and specifically asked if he needed to summon the barbarian Sapa to help, but was roared back by the alchemy master.

"What do rough barbarians know!"

Kaka still remembers that Sapa "deliberately" used his qualifications hundreds of years ago to suppress himself, it's disgusting!

Next, the alchemy master began to use materials to arrange some kind of magic circle around the bookcase, and then raised his head and drank three bottles of resistance potion in a row, as long as the three elements of fire, electricity, and ice were not too high-level, the damage to him would be weakened to a negligible amount.

"Stinky Boy...... Even if I ask you to convert it into money, these materials are not something that can be bought casually...... It's an investment, yes! It's a strategic investment! If the return doesn't exceed two times in the future, no, three times! Let's wait and see!"

Kaka cursed hatefully, but his hands and feet kept dropping gems one after another to the nodes on the circle,

Finally, he returned to the front of the bookcase, his expression becoming stern, and then reached out and pressed it to the very center of the arcane trap.

From the direction of Li Ang, the four corners of the bookcase immediately flashed different colors, and then converged towards the center along the lines that lit up one by one, and a large amount of light emanated from the middle of the kung fu bookcase in the blink of an eye, suddenly engulfing Kaka's short figure.

However, the surrounding ground also rose with elemental power at the same time, circling and flying towards the place where the light was at its peak, using the repulsive power to offset the explosion of the arcane trap, and Kaka's figure appeared again, but there were already many small scars on his body.

"It's even missing an element!" Kaka was a little angry, but it was too late now, and the alchemy circle that had just been arranged was not set up in a targeted manner, what should I do?

The materials on his body are no longer enough to re-set the magic circle, if he gives up this time, Li Ang will try to forcibly crack it, and the result will definitely be unpredictable. It's better to use some of the circle's limiting effects to try it now.

Kaka blinked quickly, and suddenly reached out to open the transparent wooden door of the bookcase.

As soon as the wooden door opened, the power of the secret spell trap began to devour, and the densely arranged books immediately began to turn into ashes one after another, Kaka saw several extremely valuable books disappear in front of him, extremely heartbroken, and immediately said: "The magic circle is strengthened!"

The elemental power on the ground was instantly doubled, and the speed of book damage began to slow down a little, but after maintaining such an alchemy-based high-level skill, Kaka's forehead also saw sweat, and he didn't care about the damage of the earth element, and roared: "Come and grab it!"

Leon, who was already ready, immediately appeared next to Kaka, racing against time to carry out the "Book Defense Battle", and just a few seconds after he appeared, the "tenacity" talent had already been triggered, and you can imagine how powerful the secret trap including the four elements is.

Leon's speed was nowhere near as fast as books were devoured, and he was so anxious that sweat broke down on his forehead, and he felt that there had never been a moment in his previous life in which he wanted more books as much as he did now......

Due to the simultaneous spread of the power of the backlash from all directions, Li Ang also had to be careful not to touch it directly with his hands, so he could only probe in and retract a few books at random like lightning, and Kaka also reminded some important books scattered everywhere with hurried words from time to time, so that Li Ang's spirit remained tense.

Although the two people who were focused wanted to take all the books that had not had time to be destroyed, this was obviously unrealistic. Moreover, Kaka had just had a battle with the giant alchemy creature, and then maintained the magic circle and cast skills, the loss was a little too large, and the ravages of the earth element were also hurting his body at the same time, so he quickly couldn't hold on, and suddenly retreated backwards, and grabbed Leon's body before leaving, and pulled back the apprentice who still refused to give up.

At the same moment, the gems in the nodes of the magic circle on the ground exploded into powder one after another, and the power of the arcane trap was no longer resisted, and finally became stronger, and instantly exploded into a burst of white light with the bookcase as the center.

"Huh" and the two people breathed a sigh ......of relief at the same time, and this result was quite acceptable.

Leon piled the less than twenty books left in his arms on the ground, and Kaka said disdainfully: "Even if it was dangerous just now, you shouldn't be so rushed! You didn't grab a lot of what I pointed out, but instead took so many useless ones! Look at this, this, and this, what a mess!"

In order to verify what he said, Kaka picked out a copy and flipped through it, then his movements stopped, and his eyes began to light up, "Oh my God! I thought this booklet without a name was not important, it turned out to be a research notebook!"

But then his eyes darkened again, and he looked at the unknown apprentice, and roared, "Why don't you take out the other dozen or so books together, why let them all be destroyed!"

"Your sister...... I just said that I took out a mess, why did you change it so quickly, I think you are having a manic neurotic attack, right?"

Li Ang hated and slandered, took a thick booklet that he didn't remember where he snatched it from, opened it and read it for a long time, and found that all the records were about the process of transforming the black castle into an alchemical creature, but the content was too obscure, full of all kinds of incomprehensible terms, formulas, and symbols, it seemed that it should be high-level alchemy knowledge in the era of change, so ...... He didn't understand at all.

"I don't understand...... Is it worth it?" asked Leon based on his own knowledge.

"You've got the brains of an ogre! Such a rare way to construct is measured by money! I'm really going to be!"

"Strange...... Is there a time when a dwarf doesn't have to measure things with money?" Leon continued to sneer, but looking at Kaka's appearance, it was clear that what was on the note was very important.

But the gnome's next words reveal his true nature.

"If such a notebook were to be put in the hands of those who studied the construction all day, it would be worth at least a dozen zircons!"

"What?" Leon's eyes began to glow, "Hundreds of thousands of gold coins?"

"No, it's nothing," Kaka found out that he had slipped out, and immediately began to make up for it in a serious manner, "That's an exaggeration, that is, it means that it's very important, well! I'll take it and study it first!"

"Master Mentor, please take it and read it casually," Leon said as he handed over the book very casually, without mentioning the so-called "worth a dozen zircons", after all, the potions that Kaka had consumed so far could be said to be for this team, and Leon alone knew that there were at least a few zircons. So if this book is valuable to him, the role of the alchemy master in the team will be greater in the future, and we have to think about the long term, right?

As for such details as zircon...... Just let it pass.

What's more, he just watched it patiently a few times...... I really don't understand, and there are no prompts on the panel, it seems that the above knowledge is too advanced for him.

So the two of them were looking forward to the progress in the future, but then there were few similar heavy dà found that Kaka deliberately pointed out that the few books that Li Ang grabbed were all about alchemy, and he flipped through them one by one and was a little disappointed, "This is the alchemy knowledge of the era of change, but it is not too advanced content, but it can be used for reference." ”

After speaking, he looked at the apprentice whose eyes were shining, and said impatiently: "Even if it's not high, you can't understand it! I'll give it to you after I sort it out!"

This is true, and Leon also knows that learning something has to be done step by step, so as soon as he knows that that knowledge is beyond his current ability, he immediately dismisses his thoughts.

The remaining dozen or so books were all taken back by Li Ang with the attitude of being able to grab one by one, it seems that his luck was completely consumed in research notes, most of these are books about history, literature and art, religion, etc., which are of little significance to this small mercenary group, so most of the fate is "discounted".

"Can't you see that the owner of this castle is still a literary old man?" Li Ang was very dissatisfied.

Kaka was even more angry, because his error in judgment caused almost an entire column of about a dozen booklets similar to research notes to disappear into the backlash of the arcane trap, such a loss was too big a blow for the alchemy master.

And now they know that such a high-level secret trap is actually to protect the dozen or so notes in the bookcase, otherwise it is just some books that were very ordinary at the time, and they will definitely not make such a big move.
