After a long circle, I deliberately chose a remote corner.

Baggins anchors his magical alchemy hut on an abandoned landmark stone pillar outside the town.

At this time, in the magical alchemy hut, Baggins, who was looking out through the projection window, was a little apprehensive.

He hoped that the terrifying human wizard would find him.

Judging from the performance of the opponent's level and strength that are quite disproportionate.

As long as the other party wants, Baggins believes that there is no problem in returning to St. Landers safely.

However, he didn't want the human wizard to find him.

Because, that guy is from "La Mor".

The whole of St. Rand knew that the Church of the Dark Sun had destroyed Lamor half a year earlier.

The guy who made Ramel part of his name clearly had an extraordinary relationship with him.

And what he did happened to be involved with the Church of the Dark Sun.

In case the human wizard learns from the Ranger that he is involved in the Church of the Dark Sun.

Fear......

"You seem to be worried!"

Baggins, who was thinking about the question, jumped straight to his feet in fright when he was startled by the sudden voice.

The "wail" in his hand almost went off.

"Damn ......"

But when it came to hearing the voice of the human wizard.

Baggins's rising anger was suppressed by him.

"Angry...... Angry...... If you really want to be angry, your life will be gone. ”

Baggins frantically warned himself in his heart.

Tucker exhaled lightly and said slowly.

"That ranger said everything that should be said and what should not be said."

"You work for the Church of the Dark Sun, don't you?"

Looking at the human wizard in front of him, he examined his indifferent eyes.

Feeling that his life was threatened, Baggins finally couldn't help it.

He jerked up his steam shotgun, aimed it at Tucker, and roared loudly.

"Yes, I work for the Church of the Dark Sun, but so what?"

"I was deceived."

"Those shitty bastards, they said there was an ancient secret, and they wanted me to repair the Pioneer Gate, and they would give me an extra bounty when the restoration was completed."

"But when I got there, I realized that they had asked me to build an abandoned gate to the Exotic."

"If I don't fix it, they will blow my head with a hammer."

"I can only give in!"

"Eventually, I escaped, but my apprentices were all dead."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Do you want to use the laws of Lamor to sentence me to death for working for the Church of the Dark Sun?"

Tucker examined Baggins for a moment before speaking slowly.

"You might as well speak more slowly and add some details."

"What do you mean?"

Baggins looked at Tucker and still didn't let go of his "wail."

Tucker unhurriedly dragged a chair from the side and sat down, keeping it at the same height as the dwarven alchemist.

"Some people are polluted by the dark sun, just because their bodies and extraordinary ecology are polluted in the dark sun environment, but they resist the dark sun pollution, and when they leave the dark sun area, they will gradually dissipate after a while."

"And some people are polluted, and that is the pollution that comes from the depths of the soul to accept the power of the dark sun, which is the faith of the heart and the will."

"If you belong to the latter group, you will be dead by the time I first see you."

"Being coerced by the dark sun, working for them in order to protect themselves, I can't think of anything wrong with you."

Tucker's words froze the dwarf Baggins in place.

It was only after a while that he put the steam shotgun down.

"I'm sorry, but my temper is a little bad, mainly because it's too ...... here. It's dangerous. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I like to prepare a lot of tricks before taking risks, I'm afraid that this time I would really be killed by the people of the Church of the Dark Sun."

"Sooner or later, I will use my wail to break the heads of a few more members of the Church of the Dark Sun."

After muttering and complaining.

Baggins begins a series of encounters where he is tricked from St. Landers into the depths of a cave deep behind the Black River Valley.

Although for his sake.

But as Tucker says, at least he didn't have a dark day of faith.

"They are staring at me so badly that they will be killed on the spot if they don't even work hard, and my two apprentices were beaten to death in front of me."

"I can feel that the brutes, they have no intention of letting us out alive."

"Luckily, I used the method of beard concealment to hide an extremely powerful teleportation scroll."

"When the progress reached a certain stage, we opened up the transfer station, and it turned out that there was a fallen dragon lord there, which made many strong people in the entire Black River Valley go."

"As an expert in alchemy, I was also sent to carry and other work."

"In the spare time of a very ordinary work, I took a few dragon scales and secretly teleported out."

"I thought it was very hidden, but he found out."

"They started searching the area for my location."

And then ...... And then there's the thing you found out about me hiding. ”

After listening to the dwarven alchemist.

Tucker had to sigh secretly,

It's really a model of asking for money and not dying, it's all that kind of environment, and I'm still thinking about dragon scales.

In this case, Tucker just wanted to ask.

"How many dragon scales did you steal?"

"What do you want to do?" The dwarven alchemist looked at Tucker with a little wariness.

"Nothing, I'm just curious." Tucker spread his hands.

"Three!"

"What rank of dragon is that?"

"Fifth Order."

"A fifth-order dragon is not a very high level. I must have escaped here with an injury, unable to save myself, and eventually died. Tucker said.

"Yes, that fifth-order dragon, the abdomen was torn open, and the wound could not be healed, which could be seen from the remaining marks on the scales and skeleton." The loud-voiced Baggins confirmed Tucker's guess.

"Fifth order, dragon bloodline, lord level."

"Even if it is a seventh-order transcendent of the human race, if it runs slowly, it will be skewered on the spot."

"Such a powerful existence, but still died tragically in a remote and barren place."

"There are still very, very many terrifying existences in the transcendent world."

"Not to mention, in the depths of the starry sky, there are those indescribable existences."

Tucker sighed softly.

Immediately, Tucker looked at Baggins.

"A fifth-order dragon, even if the characteristics of the scales gather together after death, in the end, there should be a lot of scales, right?"

"Yes!"

Baggins nodded.

"But, those scales, they will definitely store them in the safest place in the Black River Valley Steam Tower."

"Hmm!"

Tucker just nodded flatly, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

Baggins wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.

"Your current level is only level 19, I'll continue to give you forging materials!"

"After you are promoted to the second order, we will be able to be safer."

Baggins intends to continue to fulfill his contract so that he can be more valuable.

"No problem, I was about to talk about it!"

Tucker nodded.

"The sooner we advance, we will indeed be safer."

Open the small door to the Alchemy Vault.

As Baggins starts the source energy steam engine, put the crucible away.

Tucker also took out a second Boss-level material.

"Are you really from Lamour?" Baggins asked as he adjusted the instrument.

"What is this thing doing, you ask?"

"I'm just curious, you're so powerful, your extraordinary talent must be amazing, why haven't I heard of your name before?"

Tucker raised an eyebrow.

"Have you heard of Heatrol, the steam knight of La Mor?"

"Of course I did."

Baggins raised a few pitches.

"A few months ago, during an appointment with the cadets of the Saint-Lander Transcendent Academy, the steam knight Shilor pressed the knight who was one rank above him to the ground, hmm...... Don't say it, the knight's head is really hard, and he smashed a few strengthened marble slabs, and he didn't admit defeat. ”

Tucker laughed.

Shilor's temperament is indeed very arrogant.

It's not surprising to do such a thing.

"In addition to Hirol, there is also a person who is also famous for Lamour, I don't know if you have heard of it."

"Who?"

"A guy named Tucker."

"Tucker?" Tucker's eyes condensed slightly.

"This guy called Tucker...... Is it famous? ”

"Of course......" Baggins smiled.

"That guy is a [blasphemer], and even the janitor knows about this in the Dungeon of St. Rand."

It is said that in the black market of St. Landers, the blasphemer named "Tucker" was rewarded, and his bounty was as high as 320,000 magic gold. ”

"320,000 magic gold? Is it so high? Tucker was stunned.

"Yes, it's that high." Baggins nodded affirmatively.

"A lot of people are paying attention to Lamour, because of the high bounty of this blasphemous from Lamour."

"So I'm very strange, obviously your strength is amazing, and you are also from Lamour, why don't you have any reputation at all!"

"Probably...... It's because I haven't been to St. Landers yet! Tucker said lightly.

"Hmm...... Is it possible...... With your strength, if you go to St. Lander, you will definitely become famous soon. Baggins smiled.

While talking, Baggins quickly immersed himself in the forging of the leader-level material.

Tucker, on the other hand, was quietly thinking about it while waiting for the leader-level material he was about to promote.

The water in the Black River Valley is very deep.

In the border town of the Black River Valley alone, Tucker noticed that there were many undercurrents surging silently.

Promoted to the second order as soon as possible, Tucker will be able to swim in this undercurrent.
