The rain was loud, and the night was dark.

Even assassins and thieves with night vision struggle to see their surroundings.

On the muddy road, Tucker, who entered the "shadow state", walked directly on the ground half a meter away, carrying a Dire horse lantern to prop up the darkness and rain and move forward unhurriedly.

Now, as Tucker gradually gets to grips with the Shadow Form, not to mention this muddy road.

Even if the river is not far away, Tucker can float along the river.

It is......

With the gradual entry into the shadow state.

Tucker began to hear more and more murmurs from the Shadow Dimension and some strange whispers that were not very clear.

Occasionally, the image of the world will lose color at the edge of Tucker's vision, and then appear to be twisted and wriggling.

When Tucker looks over, everything will be back to normal.

It's as if, out of the corner of the eye, what you see is just an illusion.

The Shadow Dimension is starting to affect Tucker to some extent.

It won't be long before shadow creatures sneak up on Tucker.

After killing those shadow creatures, this kind of shadow corner of the eye is weird, and it will be calm for a while.

This is also the "necessary price" for mastering the Shadow Rune Ring Staff.

This is much better than mastering the Dark Demon Rune Ring Staff.

After all, the demon rune, that's really "burning life".

Moving forward.

Tucker tried to hold the shield of the wizard's robe as long as he could.

Although this will reduce the defense ability, it will be able to deliver the light of the horse lantern farther.

Tucker carried a lantern to light his way.

In addition, it is also a reminder for others.

Otherwise, who knows what you're going to do?

In a short time, Tucker took a stand at the position of the bartender's suggestion of "56 east of the crossroads".

It is an old townhouse with a backyard.

From the traces of the eaves roof with some twisted ash Gothic, it can be seen that it has been baptized by the ashes of the dark tide many times.

The brand of "Riverdale Alchemy Shop" is also a little old.

There is also some small print underneath.

"This shop is engaged in the sale and refining of extraordinary weapons, promotion materials, promotion potions and other materials."

"The scope of business is quite extensive."

Tucker muttered under his breath.

Generally speaking, alchemy shops will have a main business.

Other businesses are also wholesale some corresponding resources and placed them in the counter.

Unless the main business business is so good that it explodes, other aspects of the business also need to be incidental.

"Bang bang bang!"

Tucker knocked the closed door.

I didn't see anyone respond for a long time.

Tucker's eyes were slightly condensed, and his precise vision bloomed.

The interior of the dark storefront shop house is slightly cluttered.

It clearly shows that someone has rummaged through it.

"This ...... Ran away? ”

Tucker originally planned to find an alchemist here and use the other party's alchemy tools to refine the leader-level materials in his hands, so as to complete the advancement in this gray night cycle.

The hopes I had just heard in the tavern were now dashed.

"Hmm...... Anyway, it has been purchased by someone for zero yuan. ”

"I'll just go in and take a look, in case there is a large source energy steam engine device, it won't be a loss to use it."

As soon as the pace is taken, the [Phase Walk] is activated.

By the time he fell, Tucker had already entered the shop.

"Squeak ......"

A few small rats in the corner, illuminated by Tucker's light, were frightened and fled in all directions.

Under the eaves of the backyard, a few river rock finches that roost in the rain and shelter from the rain chirped.

Tucker "ding-ding" tapped the lantern twice.

The glow of the Dire Fire Bomb quickly amplifies.

The fiery red light quickly filled the entire small shop where it could be illuminated.

The Steam Talent [Steam: Origin Phase] that has been increased to 1650% has made Tucker's control of Source Energy extremely terrifying.

For those "condensed" witchcraft.

Tucker can continue to cast source energy into the witchcraft that has been condensed in the past, so that it can grow.

It can also draw the source energy, let it shrink, and then dissipate.

Moreover, the recovered source energy can also be reused.

Normally, the source energy released is like water that has been spilled, and it cannot be recovered.

It's common sense.

However, he was upgraded to 1650% SSS rank [Steam: Origin Phase] by Tucker.

It doesn't quite fit this "common sense".

By the light of the fire, it intersects with the surrounding veins.

Tucker scouted every corner of the small shop.

However, Tucker didn't find the alchemical tools he was looking for, such as a source energy steam engine or a furnace crucible.

But, Tucker made other discoveries.

"Squeak!"

Tucker pushes open the portal to the backyard.

On both sides is a wall, and at the rear is a utility room stacked with miscellaneous items and a half-rest residence.

But it was also rummaged through.

Even the debris was thrown into the courtyard and was being washed away by the heavy rain.

After thinking for a moment, Tucker looked at the ordinary-looking conifer tree in the courtyard and spoke slowly.

"Honorable Alchemist, for some reason, I need a flame with a leader-level characteristic to refine items."

"Of course, if you have the characteristic flame of dragon breath, it will be better."

"I wonder if Your Excellency Alchemist can provide it here?"

The torrential rain was still falling.

And the "magical alchemy hut" inside the conifer did not have a hint of feedback.

"I know that Your Excellency the Alchemist is in the alchemy hut in the small tree, whether you can refine it, and I hope that Your Excellency the Alchemist will give a response."

Tucker's voice just fell.

I vaguely sniffed steel and gunpowder, as well as the smell of danger.

Tucker immediately walked through a shadow and left the spot.

The next moment, a shadow that wasn't tall enough, but wide enough, rushed out angrily from the trunk of the tree, which was just a little thicker than Tucker's arm.

It also holds a short-barreled steam shotgun of astonishing caliber.

"Boom!"

A loud roar, drowning out Tucker's hearing, banished the sound of rain.

At the same time, the bullets from the shotgun flooded the door behind Tucker's position just now, and the old door was plugged on the spot, and it was blown away by the way.

This steam shotgun is incredibly powerful.

Accompanied by a rising vapor ash mist.

The low, stout figure roared angrily.

"Damn bastard, aren't you worried about Uncle Ben's dragon scales?"

"Eat you Uncle Baggins with a shot."

"When you taste the taste of a bullet shattering your dog's head, you will know that your Uncle Baggins is not easy to mess with."

When he walked through the shadow corner and saw that the alchemist was an angry and irascible dwarf, he connected to the bartender's explanation.

Tucker couldn't help but curse "damn shameless natives".

It's such important news from the dwarves, and that guy doesn't even tell himself.

Tucker, however, unexpectedly got some news.

Dragon scales?

This dwarven alchemist actually has dragon scales.

No wonder this guy exploded at one point, and he still has such a good thing in his hand.

It seems that he just mentioned the dragon's breath, could it be that this point stimulated the other party?

Out of the corner of Tucker's eye, he skimmed the not-so-thick trunk.

There is a hidden near-perfect "magical alchemy hut".

If you don't have the origin phase that deeply perceives everything around you, and the precise vision that perceives the surrounding context.

It's really hard to find this magical alchemy hut.

Those who can have such skills are definitely expert-level alchemists.

In the city-state of St. Landers, it is also a rare existence.

A half-apprentice alchemist like Taniru doesn't know how many grades it is higher.

At this time, the dwarven alchemist with a short-barreled large-caliber steam shotgun walked towards the location of the door panel that had just been blown away.

Obviously, he believed in his marksmanship, or rather in the powerful "troll" in his hand.

Tucker pondered whether to turn the other party into a sheep and make the other party calm and calm.

But after thinking about it, Tucker shook his head.

Although, his own sheep transformation technique, in the face of this third-order dwarf alchemist, he can turn it into a sheep within a certain period of time.

That would only make this third-order dwarven alchemist's anger super double!

When the time comes, let alone follow the other party to learn the knowledge and ability of alchemy, even if the possibility of asking the other party for help will be zero.

"I don't mean anything malicious!"

Tucker in the corner calmed his tone as much as he could.

However, in response to Tucker was the muzzle of the gun turned to aim at Tucker, and the roar of Vail's huge "troll" roared.
