《Supreme God of Magic》


 Chapter 1 Magic Warlock

    On a snowy night, in a simple mud house, the candlelight flickered, and the girl was dressed in plain clothes, kneeling on the ground and sobbing. This is what Oscar saw when he woke up.


    Who is the girl?


    Who am I?


    Oscar was lying on a stretcher, covered with a layer of white cloth, his body was stiff and cold, and his mind was blank.


    The door was pushed open.


    A gust of cold wind poured into the house, the remaining candle struggled, the light and shadow swayed, and it was eerie and scary.


    "Who?"


    The girl was shivering in the cold wind, and she stood up in a panic. She turned around and saw a middle-aged man walking in. He had a mustache, was tall and thin, and was dressed in luxurious clothes.


    The girl became more nervous and stammered, "Third... Third Uncle!"


    The middle-aged man smiled maliciously, brushed off the snow on his shoulders, and asked casually, "Thank you for your hard work at the funeral. I will return to White City tomorrow. It is said that Oscar still owes a lot of gambling debts. What are your plans, Alice?"


    Alice answered timidly, "I want to cultivate the magic field left by the lady to repay the gambling debts for the young master."


    "Our family is a big family in White City. Letting a girl stay in the town and suffer for a dead waste to repay the debt is not a shame for the family? No! To be honest, I have taken back the magic field for the family. I plan to sell this broken house to repay the debt. Do you have any objection to this arrangement?"


    The girl bit her lip and was speechless.


    Third Uncle came to the funeral on the surface, but in fact he bullied the girl''s weakness and came to grab the house and land!


    "Of course, you have no place to live, but don''t worry, because for the sake of our family, I will take good care of you!" Uncle San stared at the girl''s chest unscrupulously, her clothes were propped up and her tall and straight outline was bulging. His eyes seemed to ignite a burning flame, his breathing was slightly rapid, and he said impatiently: "Stay with me and be a little maid."


    Alice suppressed her grief and anger, and said stubbornly, "Alice is an orphan abandoned in the ice field. If the lady hadn''t adopted her, she would have frozen to death. Although she didn''t have much education, Alice knew how to repay kindness. The young master unfortunately passed away. Alice will not follow others. I will work to support myself!"


    "Don''t make trouble!" The middle-aged man said sternly, and took a step forward, "The world is dark and chaotic now, demons are everywhere, monsters are rampant, and the orcs in the north don''t know when they will attack. You, a little girl, don''t even have a place to live, and you still want to survive in the ice and snow? Follow me!"


    The girl retreated in panic: "Don''t come over!"


    Uncle San tore off his hypocritical mask and showed an evil smile, "Don''t you understand Uncle San''s intention? As long as you serve me well, you will be promoted to a maid in the future, and you will be promoted to heaven in one step! It is ten times or a hundred times better than following a loser!"


    Alice retreated to the corner and shouted in panic: "I don''t want it!"


    "Don''t refuse a toast and drink a penalty!"


    The girl''s helpless look further aroused Uncle San''s evil fire. He couldn''t help it and was about to pounce on her.


    Alice''s eyes were filled with tears and she showed a resolute look. She pulled out a black tube from her sleeve.


    A rifle!


    Uncle San was shocked!


    This is a gunpowder weapon made with ancient mechanical technology!


    Alice pointed at his chin and shouted in a childish voice: "The house and the magic field have been robbed. In front of the young master''s still wet body, you still force Alice! I really can''t live anymore, I might as well follow the young master directly!"


    Uncle San was shocked and angry: "Is a waste worth doing this?"


    "Don''t force Alice!"


    "You..."


    Mu Alice was fifteen or sixteen years old, with light purple eyes, water waves like a clear spring, white and tender skin, a graceful body, full breasts, and round buttocks. Although not fully opened, she was already a beautiful woman.


    Her personality was very weak, and she thought it was easy to get it, but unexpectedly she suddenly became extremely strong. After all, it''s not good to rob. It''s better to play hard to get, pretend to leave first, and then sneak back to kidnap Alice, so as not to be afraid of not getting the little beauty''s body.


    Uncle San shouted angrily: "You don''t know what''s good for you! You''ll just take the debt for the loser! When you can''t pay it back, don''t kneel down and beg me to take you in!"


    After saying that.


    He walked away.This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.


    The wooden door creaked as it was thrown. Alice wiped away her tears and looked confused. In the end, all the people she could rely on had passed away. How should she live in the future!


    Outside the hut, heavy snow fell, the cold wind raged, and the shrill howls were like the roar of a monster, destroying and devouring the girl''s heart bit by bit. In a bloody and chaotic world, monsters were rampant, and wars were frequent... How could a weak girl of fifteen or sixteen protect herself?


    The future was dark!


    The more Alice thought about it, the more scared she became, and the more desperate she felt. She threw herself on Oscar and cried, "Master, you''re gone, what will Alice do alone!"


    Bang!


    Suddenly!


    The heavy musket fell to the ground.


    Alice was shocked and looked unbelievable.


    Because Oscar opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling blankly.


    Alice burst into tears, "Master is back, Master is finally back! Don''t leave me alone again, okay? Alice is scared, really scared!"


    Oscar''s face was as pale as paper, and his lips were shivering from the cold, "Cold... so cold!"


    Alice almost fainted from the feeling of great sorrow and joy!


    She quickly took out a torn quilt and covered Oscar with it, hugged Oscar''s shivering body, and said with tears streaming down her face: "You can hit me or scold me, but don''t leave Alice again!"


    Oscar was shivering with cold: "Alice?"


    He looked at the girl, who had a lovely and well-behaved face with delicate features, dark and bright eyes like a gem, bulging breasts, and a thin waist. She was a beauty.


    Who is this beautiful girl?


    Alice panicked, "Master, can''t you remember Alice?"


    Oscar''s mind was empty, like a blank sheet of paper, "I... I can''t remember anything."


    Alice hurriedly comforted him, "This must be the sequelae of a head impact. I''ve heard of similar cases on the radio. It''s okay. As long as you are fine, Alice will always be with you!"


    Radio?


    What is a radio!


    Memories began to appear, like broken icebergs, some floating on the sea, and some sinking into the sea.


    "Where is this?"


    "It''s Baisong Town!"


    Oscar''s memory was touched a little, "Is there such a place on the mainland? What country is this?"


    Alice shook her head and said, "There are demons invading the north, and there is no human empire on the mainland. Baisong Town is under the jurisdiction of Baichengguan!"


    "What year is it now?"


    "January 22, 1004 in the new calendar!"


    Oscar felt his brain struck by a lightning bolt, and suddenly sat up excitedly and asked, "Say it again!"


    Alice timidly repeated, "It''s January 22, 1004."


    Alice was a little scared.


    What happened to the young master?


    Oscar sat there for several seconds, and said to himself, "I remember, I remember! I am Oscar!"


    Mu Alice said happily, "Do you remember?"


    This Oscar is not that Oscar!


    Oscar lived in the new calendar year 16211!


    But now it is the new calendar year 1004!


    A total of 15,000 years, so many changes of spring and autumn, so many changes of prosperity and decline... Oscar was in a trance, feeling like a dream, he returned to the ancient world!


    Is this true?


    Seeing Oscar''s bad face, Alice hurriedly said: "Don''t think about it if you can''t remember it, just be fine! At that time, the therapist said that you were hopeless. The bad guys in the casino ran to your house and smashed things, and also robbed food and money. Mu''s third uncle drove over overnight and robbed the house and the field. Even Alice almost..."


    The girl choked up again, and two clear tears flowed on her fair cheeks.


    She was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. How much grievance had she suffered?


    Oscar woke up, wiped away the girl''s tears immediately, and comforted her: "Don''t cry, I''m fine now, sorry for making you suffer."


    Alice''s beautiful eyes widened, and she sat there blankly, and her tears flowed even more.


    Oscar was at a loss: "Did I say something wrong?"


    Alice said softly: "The young master has changed."


    Oscar was stunned: "Really?"


    Alice hugged Oscar and said happily: "The young master has never been so good to Alice, I feel very happy!"


    Oscar asked very strangely: "Have I always been bad to you?"


    "No... no."


    Alice closed her eyes and hugged Oscar tightly. She didn''t know where the strength came from, as if she was afraid that he would fly away if she didn''t catch him.


    Oscar is the girl''s only family, and the only person she can rely on. That kind of deep attachment can be felt by anyone!


    As time goes by, more and more memories are restored.


    Oscar gradually recognizes a fact.


    He does not belong to this era!


    Oscar comes from 15,000 years later!


    At that time, the human race is prosperous and glorious!


    Oscar is a world-famous master of magic. He is proficient in various magics, has mastered more than 20,000 magics, independently developed hundreds of new magics, and compiled twelve sets of masterpieces, which has a huge influence.


    As a result, an error occurred in a test of the forbidden magic soul. Oscar thought he would die, but the magic soul drifted to more than 15,000 years ago!


    Oscar tried to recall history.


    This year, the human race''s territory was small!


    This year, the new civilization just sprouted!


    This year, the magic and martial arts just started!


    This year, refining medicine, alchemy, talisman making, and formations were just discovered!


    This year, demons from other worlds invaded, and the alien races were very strong. Hundreds of races coexisted and divided the eight directions.


    This year, racial wars continued!


    This year, the human race was in turmoil!


    This year...


    History is a story that is passed down and a pale text for bystanders.


    History is a flesh-and-blood reality and a vivid life for those who have experienced it.


    Oscar, a divine magician in a glorious civilization.


    He unexpectedly returned to a chaotic era of barbarism and backwardness!


    Ten thousand years of time, a lot of changes!


    If the number of spells is used to measure the prosperity of a civilization, there are about 5,000 spells circulating in human society now, and most of them are plagiarized from foreign races, with various defects. As for the future 15,000 years later, there are more than 250,000 spells publicly circulated in spell books alone, all of which have been improved and optimized by countless warlocks, almost perfect!


    Alice washed a wet towel and wiped Oscar''s face, "How do you feel, young master?"


    Oscar''s stomach was rumbling, and he said with a little embarrassment: "My head hurts a little, and... is there any food at home?"


    "Alice will go buy it."


    Alice took out a broken wooden box, a few cheap old jewelry, and a dozen dark red copper coins, which were some change Alice usually saved.


    The mainstream currency of the Northern Federation is metal coins, which are made of three precious metals, fire copper, mithril, and refined gold, and the ratio is 1000:1. The purchasing power of a copper coin is only enough for a coarse steamed bun.


    When Uncle San learned that Oscar had woken up, he was afraid that Oscar would think of the magic field, so he immediately took a car to leave the town.


    Now all his property is 17 copper coins, which is only enough for 17 steamed buns.


    How can he live like this?


    Alice put on a cotton coat, which was too dark, big and thick, full of pudding, bloated and ugly, and did not look like clothes for girls at all. A rough towel was tied around her neck, and the paint-chipped wooden door was pushed open. The cold wind and snow poured into the house. Alice staggered back and almost fell to the ground.


    Alice quickly stood firm, pulled up the scarf to cover her face, turned around and said, "I''ll be back soon."


    The girl walked into the wind and snow with difficulty against the resistance.


    Oscar really couldn''t bear it, but he couldn''t do it for her, so he hurriedly shouted, "Don''t worry, be careful on the road."


    Alice felt a warm current in her heart when she heard it.

 Chapter 2 Mutual Dependence

    One bedroom and one living room, no toilet, the bedroom is dark, heavy and stuffy, just like a box.


    This is home.


    Next to the wooden bed is a worn-out sewing machine, two neatly cut pieces of leather are stacked, the workmanship is very fine, Alice has some tailoring skills. A rectangular old instrument is placed next to it, probably a radio, but it is broken.


    A picture emerged in Oscar''s mind.


    A girl in her teens, lonely, hungry and cold, sitting in a dim and small room working, from morning to night, the only tool for entertainment is an old radio.


    Now the radio is broken!


    Oscar felt a little sad.


    The radio is purely handmade, with rough parts, strange structure, messy lines, and complex symbols engraved on the antenna. According to the broken memory, this is a kind of rune.


    "Rune?"


    Oscar had been very weak, and suddenly he had a splitting headache. He felt dizzy and knelt down beside the bed, retching.


    After a long time, he got a little better.


    More memories were restored.


    Some of them were memories in the body, but most of them were vague.


    The levels of warlocks on the mainland are divided into: warlock apprentice, warlock, warlock, great warlock, earth warlock, sky warlock, magician, holy warlock, fairy warlock, and divine warlock, a total of 10 realms.


    Oscar used to be a divine warlock.


    His magic power was unparalleled.


    Now Oscar is just an apprentice, everywhere on the street, worthless.


    Although he was very weak, his brain was dizzy, and he often felt severe pain and dizziness during the memory awakening process.


    The simple wooden door was pushed open, and Alice came back in the wind and snow, with snowflakes on her hair and cotton coat, shivering with cold. She hurriedly closed the door, patted her clothes, took off her scarf and hung it back on the wall, and shouted, "I''m back."


    "There are two steamed buns, still hot." Alice took out another round object wrapped in yellow paper, carefully peeled off the yellow paper, and a black pill the size of a fingernail appeared in her hand, "This is the Seven Herb Pill."


    The Seven Herb Pill is made from seven common herbs, which has the effect of restoring qi and blood and restoring physical strength. The price is very cheap, only 15 copper coins. Because it can restore physical strength, is easy to carry, and is not easy to deteriorate, many hunters and adventurers carry it as dry food.


    In order to make Oscar recover as soon as possible, Alice spent the only money in the family to buy a Seven Herb Pill.


    Oscar frowned.


    Such a shitty thing can also be sold?


    How backward is the alchemy technology of this era!


    Oscar still said, "Thank you."


    Alice''s eyes were as gentle as water, and the young master really changed.


    Oscar was so hungry that he swallowed a steamed bun in two or three bites. Alice saw him eating it up, smiled with satisfaction, secretly swallowed her saliva, and sat down in front of the sewing machine to start working.


    Oscar was still not satisfied and wanted to eat the second steamed bun. Suddenly he thought of something and asked Alice: "Have you eaten yet?"


    "Alice is not hungry."


    Oscar handed the steamed bun to her without saying a word.


    Alice was very touched. She turned her head and wiped her eyes. "No, the mayor''s family has some meat bones left by the snow wolf dogs. As soon as it gets light, I will go pick up the bones and make soup!"


    Oscar''s voice trembled when he heard this: "You eat the leftovers of the dog...food?"


    Alice scratched her head and said with a sweet smile: "The snow wolf dog is a level 1 monster, not a dog! It weighs dozens of kilograms, grows big and fierce, and only eats fresh meat. The remaining meat bones are delicious when stewed in soup. Sometimes you go too late and can''t get it!"


    "Don''t pick up bones to eat anymore, understand?" Oscar felt ashamed and guilty. He was so embarrassed that he forced the steamed bun into the girl''s hand. Suddenly he found something, "Ah, you are injured! Who hit you?"


    Alice''s white arm had a few faint bloodstains. Oscar quickly pulled open his sleeves. There were more than a dozen new and old wounds on Yuou''s forearm, and large pieces of bruises. It was extremely miserable. What kind of abuse she had suffered!


    Oscar''s chest was filled with anger!


    Who could be so cruel as to beat a lovely, pitiful, strong and kind girl like this?


    Oscar was so angry that he trembled: "Who beat her?"


    Alice pulled up her sleeves and stammered: "The bad guys from the casino broke in and smashed things. Alice went to stop them, and they beat me with a stick." At this point, she choked up, "Not only did they beat Alice, they also took away the money and food in the house."


    Oscar''s teeth were almost broken.


    It was a great shame!


    Several big men beat a 15-year-old girl with sticks!Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.


    How could they do that!


    Seeing Oscar''s bad face, Alice hurriedly persuaded him: "The casino is very powerful, we can''t fight it, forget it, Alice is fine."


    "Stop talking, if I don''t take revenge, am I still a man?" Oscar suddenly remembered something, pulled Alice and said, "No, your injuries are new and old, how did the other injuries come from, is there someone bullying you again?"


    Alice was a little at a loss, her voice was as soft as a mosquito, "Forget it..."


    "Tell me quickly!"


    "Those were... you beat me." Alice''s eyes were filled with tears, and her face was full of grievances: "But it''s all Alice''s fault that she didn''t finish the work on time, so the young master beat me. Some of them were because the young master lost money in gambling and got drunk and was in a bad mood, so you can''t blame the young master."


    Oscar was completely stunned.


    Full of anger turned into guilt!


    Endless guilt!


    What kind of life does this girl live!


    Oscar''s clenched fist suddenly loosened, and suddenly "slapped" himself with a loud slap, his face was swollen and red.


    "Ah, Master!" Alice screamed and hugged him, "What are you doing!"


    Oscar stuffed the cold steamed bun into Alice''s hand: "This steamed bun, if I touch it again, I''ll be a bastard! Eat it quickly!"


    "Yes..."


    Alice held the steamed bun and ate it while crying. The steamed bun was brought back from outside, and it was already dry and hard, mixed with salty tears, making it difficult to swallow. But in her heart, no matter how delicious the world is, it is not as good as one tenth of the cold steamed bun.


    Oscar was hit by the stone that fell from the sky and pretended to be dead. Alice didn''t drink a drop of water, and she was hungry and cold, and almost collapsed. She was really too hungry, so she ate very fast, and ended up choking and coughing.


    Oscar brought a bowl of water.


    Alice was fed half a bowl of water, holding half a steamed bun in her hand, with steamed bun crumbs on the corners of her mouth, and her beautiful purple eyes stared at Oscar blankly.


    "What''s wrong with you?"


    "You are so nice to me all of a sudden, Alice is a little uncomfortable, like a dream."


    Oscar was sad, but he didn''t know whether to laugh or cry: "Then do you want to change back so that you can adapt first?"


    "No, no!"


    Alice hugged Oscar like a child again, with a happy smile on her face.


    What''s the suffering I''ve endured in the past two days?


    When the young master woke up, he not only didn''t beat or scold me, but also became gentle and considerate, just like a different person!


    "Take a break first. Alice can earn a few copper coins by sewing the leather, and then buy some food." After finishing the steamed buns, Alice sat on the sewing machine and worked non-stop. "We are out of money. The young master owes the casino 10 silver coins. If the magic field was still there, it would be fine. Even if it was rented to the herbal farmers in the town, the monthly rent per mu would be 2,000 copper coins according to the current rent. It''s a pity that it was taken away by the Mu family."


    "I owe the casino 10 silver coins? That is 10,000 copper coins?"


    Alice felt a huge pressure. "If I can''t pay it back on time, it will be troublesome. I can only find a way to borrow money to make up the money. Young master... please don''t gamble anymore, okay?" Alice mustered up the courage to say the last sentence. If it were the old young master, he might be furious again.


    Oscar was ashamed again, "No, never gamble again!"


    100,000 copper coins is a huge sum of money.


    The interest alone is enough to crush Alice!


    Oscar originally had two acres of first-level magic fields, and the price of each acre was as high as hundreds of thousands. However, the family used Oscar''s death as an excuse to modify the contract of the magic fields. It automatically took effect legally. Thinking of the character of the third uncle, I am afraid he will not come back.


    The family has not visited each other for three or five years, but when something happened, they all showed up, rushing to grab the house and the fields, and almost forced Alice to death!


    This kind of people is better off not having them!


    Oscar was very angry.


    But he could do nothing.


    The third uncle fled overnight, and the fields would definitely not be returned.


    Alice worked hard, saying, "These furs were given by Aunt Wang from the tailor shop, and each was given 1 copper coin. This amount of money is too little. Alice will find another job tomorrow, sell some of the things that can be sold at home, and then borrow money everywhere, save money, and try to pay off the debt."


    How can a girl bear the gambling debts owed by a man who is happy and romantic?


    Oscar held Alice''s cracked little hand and said, "Don''t worry about making money to support the family in the future. Leave it all to me. This is what a man should do."


    Alice was held by a warm and generous big hand, and her heart was warm. She shook her head and said, "Alice is a servant and should work. Your body has not recovered yet, so you should rest early."


    Oscar lay on the bed. Alice covered him with a thick cup and added a few firewood to the kang. The cold was slightly driven away, but it was still very cold and made people shiver.


    My head started to hurt again!


    It seemed to be cracking!


    It was impossible to fall asleep like this!


    Alice worked for a while in the dim oil lamp and finished sewing a piece of leather. She looked back at Oscar, thinking that he was asleep, and took a small cloth bag from the corner and went out.


    Where did Alice go in the middle of the night?


    Oscar got up with difficulty, feeling dizzy and weak all over. He was very weak and could only walk with the help of the wall. He walked to the door to see what was going on.


    It was cold outside, with snow and ice everywhere, the north wind howling, and goose feather snow falling.


    Alice walked through the snow and ran to the door of the next door. A middle-aged woman opened the door and walked out. The two seemed to be talking. It was pitch black outside, and one or two words could be vaguely heard from the sound of the wind and snow.


    "What? That guy is not dead yet! He is borrowing food again, am I right? How many times has this happened? I don''t have any, and even if I have, I won''t lend it to that bastard, so go!"


    Bang!


    The middle-aged woman closed the door directly.


    Alice''s petite body stood silently in front of the tight door, swaying slightly, as if she would fall down at any time. She pulled her clothes tighter and walked towards the second house against the strong wind.


    "Borrow food? No, no, my family is poor, you can borrow from others!"


    The third house.


    "We don''t have enough food, how can we lend you extra food!"


    The fourth house.


    "Go away! Don''t bother me!"


    ...


    Oscar sat down on the edge of the bed in despair. The mirror in front of him reflected his appearance. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, about 1.75 meters tall, neither tall nor strong, with delicate features, young and handsome. It was really hard to imagine what kind of person "I" was in the past.


    I owe Alice too much!


    "No!" Oscar got excited. It must be the self-esteem of the magician. He felt extremely humiliated. "Who am I, Oscar? How can I let a girl beg for food for me? Even if I starve to death on the street, I can''t let Alice suffer such grievances!"


    Alice knocked on several doors, but got nothing.


    Three strong men passed by, wearing dark green coats and full of ruffian looks. When they saw Alice, their eyes lit up and they immediately stopped to discuss. One of them walked over directly: "Hey, isn''t this the maid of Mr. Mu? When did you fall to this?"


    Alice saw the strong men coming over, and she couldn''t help but feel a little scared. It was late at night and there was no one on the street. She was afraid that they would have bad intentions.


    "You look pitiful. You are still begging for food in the middle of the night. We have some surplus food. Why don''t we lend it to you first..."


    Alice hurriedly said when she heard this: "Thank you so much, you are really good people, and the young master and I will definitely pay it back!"


    The strong man looked at Alice and said: "But we don''t have it with us, so you can go with us."


    Alice blushed: "I..."


    Alice is not stupid. How could she not know the intentions of the few people when they said so much?


    "I don''t want it anymore!"


    "Don''t leave!" The sturdy man grabbed Alice roughly, "We want to help you, why don''t you appreciate it?"


    "I don''t want it anymore!"


    Alice screamed in panic.


    Several people laughed unscrupulously, "What''s so good about that kid? If you follow him, you will be begging for food. Come on, follow us, we will make you happy."


    Oscar''s head "boomed"!


    Rage burned in his forehead!


    What a bunch of beasts!


    Oscar seemed to have suddenly regained some strength. He didn''t even put on his clothes. He picked up a wooden stick from the corner, rushed out of the door, and rushed into the snow.

 Chapter 3 Half a Snow Chicken

    "Let go!" Alice panicked.


    The big man grabbed Alice''s arm, no longer polite, and swore. Suddenly, a hand grabbed the big man''s hair and pulled it back violently, and then a heavy stick with cold wind hit the big man''s face heavily.


    Alice was completely stunned: "Master!"


    It was icy and snowy, and the snow was half a foot deep.


    Oscar rushed out barefoot in a single layer of clothes, with only one thought in his mind - to kill these bastards!


    The big man covered his nose, staggered back a few steps, bleeding from his fingers, and said in shock and anger: "You dare to hit people!"


    Oscar rushed up and hit him with another stick.


    The big man was knocked over before he finished speaking, and this time even one of his front teeth was broken, and he screamed in pain.


    Alice was very scared: "Stop it! Stop it!"


    "Damn it!"


    "Kill him!"


    The other two reacted and found sticks and hoes from other people''s yards and hit him on the head. Oscar was hit by a stick on the chest. Oscar didn''t care whether he was injured or not, and hit him on the head with a stick!


    The head was broken and bleeding!


    The man screamed and stepped back.


    Another big man swung a hoe and hit Oscar on the head.


    Oscar felt dizzy, but he didn''t fall down. He turned around and rushed forward, hitting him with a few sticks in a row!


    It was too crazy.


    He only attacked and didn''t dodge.


    Oscar just swung the stick to hit people, one stick, two sticks, three sticks... He would rather lose 3,000 of his own than kill 800 of the enemy. He was a completely desperate way of fighting.


    "This guy is crazy!"


    "Damn, you are so cruel!"


    "Remember this!"


    "You will regret it!"


    The big men were defeated and left a few harsh words, and fled in a hurry.


    Oscar was like an angry lion, regardless of Alice''s pulling, holding a wooden stick, chasing all the way!


    Finally, there was a "thump".


    Oscar fell in the snow, and the thick white snow almost buried him.


    Warm liquid flowed from his forehead, it was blood, and his vision was coated with a layer of red. His body was weak, and he was already at the end of his strength. If he hadn''t relied on a desperate ruthlessness to scare the other party away, he would definitely not be the opponent of the three big men.


    Now he fell down and couldn''t stand up again.


    "Master!"


    "Master!"


    The doors and windows of the houses on both sides were closed, and no one wanted to meddle in other people''s business. The cold wind blew the snow on the empty streets.


    Alice was covered in snow, and with her red hands, she struggled to pick up the boy.


    She cried and called for help.


    No one cared!


    So desolate and helpless!


    "Alice, don''t be so stupid!" Oscar felt his body gradually getting cold, gasping for air, spitting blood foam from his mouth, and said word by word with difficulty: "I am a man, I have my dignity... Even if I starve to death! I won''t eat the food I beg for! Besides, how can I let a woman do such a shameful thing..."


    "Alice is not good, it''s Alice''s fault!" Alice struggled to carry Oscar on her back: "Let''s go see a therapist!"


    Oscar''s head was broken, and the snow on the ground was stained red. He was already very weak, and with this kind of injury, he might not be able to hold on.


    "Don''t go."


    "No, your injury is too serious!"


    "We... have no money!"


    Alice stopped talking, just crying.


    Treatment costs money!


    Both of them were penniless!


    This world is too dark. How can Oscar feel at ease letting Alice carry him on her back all over the street in the middle of the night? Oscar is almost exhausted. His clothes are too thin. He will freeze in a few minutes.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    The sound of carriages and horses came, and a team passed through the small street.


    Several snowmobiles led the way, and the team was mainly horses.


    The horse was black all over, covered with a layer of fine scales on the surface, with horns on its head, very tall and majestic. It was not an ordinary horse, but a dragon-scale horse. This is a kind of horse with a trace of dragon blood. It can travel thousands of miles a day and is suitable for various environments. The price of each horse is more than hundreds of thousands of copper coins.


    The mayor doesn''t have such a big show when he travels!


    This must be a big shot that is rarely seen!


    Alice hurriedly helped Oscar up, not daring to block the way.


    "Stop."


    A crisp female voice suddenly sounded from a luxurious carriage in the middle, soft and elegant, like the sound of nature, but with a hint of fatigue and sadness.


    A black-faced knight riding a dragon-scale horse, holding a three-pointed double-edged spear, wearing silver mail and a white cloak asked: "Miss, why do you want to stop?"


    "Someone is injured in front, go and see him."


    "Yes!"


    The black-faced knight exchanged glances, and two cavalrymen rode away from the team, taking an old man in a robe with them.


    Alice was so scared that she dared not move.


    In this era, life is worthless. If a small civilian angers a big man, there is only one way to go, and that is death!


    The knights sat on tall horses, looking down at them, as if looking at ants. One of them said disdainfully, "You are lucky, you are a kind-hearted lady. Otherwise, it would be a great blessing if I didn''t trample you into a pulp."


    The middle-aged man in a white robe raised his hand, and a milky white light shone through it. Oscar''s forehead wound was numb and immediately stopped bleeding and healed.


    Immediate effect!


    What a powerful healing technique!


    Ten healers in the town can''t compare to him!


    "The world is dark and it''s not easy to survive. Don''t fight and cherish your life." The woman in the carriage said, and probably saw that the two were hungry and cold, so she casually said, "Give them some food."


    A knight untied a bag from his horse''s back and threw it in front of Oscar. The bag opened and half a snow chicken was revealed.


    Oscar frowned. Although it was a good intention, he still felt insulted.


    Alice crawled over from the snow, picked up the bag, and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, sir, thank you, young lady!"


    "I won''t take your things for nothing!" Oscar stood up with difficulty, with the wind and snow on his head, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Oscar will return the favor of half a snow chicken when he comes. Please tell me your name!"


    The female voice sighed softly, filled with a faint sadness, "Let''s go."


    The black-faced knight riding a dragon-scale horse laughed and said: "Want to repay the favor? It''s so funny! Take a piss and look at yourself first, hahahaha..."


    The team quickly went away.


    "Master, forget it..."


    Oscar silently memorized the team''s logo.


    ...


    Alice helped Oscar back, took out a small bundle of dry firewood from the door, and skillfully started a fire. Oscar looked at the busy figures in the kitchen with the swaying oil lamp, but his heart was warm.


    A pot of fragrant chicken soup was served.


    Alice wiped her face, which was covered with wood ash, and only served herself a small bowl of soup.


    Oscar took out a chicken leg and put it in Alice''s bowl, "I''m recovering well, I''m fine. You are an ordinary person, weak, so take more supplements."


    Alice didn''t refuse and nodded silently.


    Snow chickens are common wild birds in the snow. Although there are no seasonings, the animals in this world are all natural and pollution-free. The meat is tender and the taste is mellow. The two drank it all. Alice licked the bowl twice and still felt unsatisfied.


    Oscar was no longer dizzy and weak, and his body began to return to normal.


    Late at night.


    The worn-out thin quilt could not resist the severe cold at night, and Oscar''s hands and feet were shivering from the cold. After Alice finished her work, she added a few more firewood to the kang, took off her thick cotton clothes, blew out the oil lamp, and crawled into the quilt.


    Oscar''s heartbeat accelerated a little.


    The magician was obsessed with magic all his life. When he died, he was a virgin and had hardly touched a woman. Now he occupies the body of a 17 or 18-year-old boy. Combined with his personality, a beautiful girl in thin pajamas is right next to him. The temptation is too great.


    "There is no firewood at home again. Alice will buy some tomorrow."


    "Yes."


    Alice did not notice Oscar''s abnormality. She was too tired all day long, and Oscar did not have the heart to do anything to her, not to mention that he was cold and tired. Alice was like a docile kitten, quietly curled up in Oscar''s arms, tightly against him, soft and warm.


    Oscar gently embraced the soft body, the faint fragrance on the girl''s body, and some physiological reactions were uncontrollable. He hurriedly leaned to the side.


    Alice opened her eyes, her bright eyes shone like gemstones, and asked in confusion, "Master, what''s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"


    "No... nothing?" Oscar tried his best to hide his embarrassment and changed the subject, "Why do you call me Master?"


    "Alice is a maid raised by the Madam, and she has been calling me that since she was a child."


    Oscar nodded.


    "Master, why are you moving further and further away? The quilt will leak air." Alice took the initiative to move over, and her knee accidentally hit Oscar''s crotch. She screamed and her face flushed, "Ah, Master, don''t you want to..." Oscar was very embarrassed: "No, no." Alice blushed: "Alice is not unwilling, but can''t..." "Why?" Oscar felt something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "Don''t get me wrong, that''s not what I meant." Alice whispered: "Master tried it before, but you fainted before it even started... You got seriously ill and almost lost your life. Alice has a special physique and can''t lose her virginity." Is there such a rare thing in the world? Some memories gradually woke up. There are many people with special physiques in the world, who have shown unique characteristics since childhood, born with different appearances, born with special abilities, etc. There is only one such person in a million, and Alice is one of them. After Oscar''s parents died, only Oscar knew about this. No wonder Oscar was so rude to Alice in the past, leaving the beautiful Alice alone at home eating cold and hard steamed buns, while he was out eating, drinking and gambling.


    Alice said sadly: "Alice has defects and often has strange problems. She is not liked by the young master. I''m sorry..."


    "Don''t say that." Oscar was very ashamed and comforted softly: "The medical conditions in the town are too poor. When we make money, I will take you to Baicheng to find someone to see. If Baicheng can''t cure you, we will go to a bigger city, to the country of Zhongzhou. Don''t feel inferior. Having a special physique is not necessarily a bad thing."


    Alice was silent.


    Oscar was curious, "Does it happen normally?"


    Alice frowned and said: "I often faint."


    Oscar couldn''t think of the corresponding special physique for the time being.


    Alice said with red eyes: "Won''t the young master dislike Alice?"


    "How could I dislike you? Don''t be silly, go to sleep!"


    Alice hugged Oscar tightly, her plump and soft breasts pressed against each other, Oscar''s body reacted more strongly, and he couldn''t help but smile bitterly. Alice didn''t say anything else, and soon she heard Alice''s even breathing, and she fell asleep.


    The girl was really exhausted.


    Oscar took two deep breaths to calm his emotions. He couldn''t continue to be cowardly, and he must find a way to make money. As for how to make money, Oscar had already thought it through. Isn''t there a treasure house in his brain?


    That was the memory of a divine magician!


    It was advanced knowledge more than ten thousand years later!


    Even in that era, Oscar wrote a spell, which was worth a lot of money!


    These... are more or less useful!


    Oscar didn''t know much about the current level of magic and martial arts.


    There are several publications in the bedside cabinet, and perhaps useful information can be extracted from them!

 Chapter 4 Ancient World

    These are three journals called "Warlock".


    Because of the rampage of demons and the poor transportation, Yanjing and local exchanges were cut off. The lords of various places lost their restraints and had to hoard a large number of private soldiers to fight against demons and protect the city. The centralization of power was severely damaged, and local forces grew like weeds, and finally completely got rid of the emperor''s constraints. The Northern Empire fell apart and formed a situation of reading power regimes.


    The Warlock Organization was not greatly affected. Various academic weekly, monthly, and annual publications were continuously launched to promote the development of the art.


    Turn on the light.


    Start reading.


    "After 47 days of hard work, the Baicheng Institute of Magic and Taoism has verified the [Law of the Non-Interchangeability of the Five Elements] again, and will publish an academic paper in the Alliance Monthly soon!"


    "The famous sage Wu Fatian improved the Level 5 ancient magic [Giant''s Arm], which caused a huge sensation and was nominated as the Top Ten Magicians of the Year in the Northern Alliance!"


    "Rookie Li Zhao created the Level 2 spell [Li Zhao''s Fire Bomb] and won the Best Magic and Taoism Rising Star Award!"


    Oscar read the news in the weekly magazine one by one.


    The Law of the Non-Interchangeability of the Five Elements?


    Bullshit!


    In about three thousand years, someone will prove that this law is wrong!


    Oscar personally created several energy-interchange spells, including a terrifying forbidden spell. In this era, this is an iron law.


    As for the spells improved by the famous sorcerer, Oscar almost laughed out loud. Whether before or after the improvement, this is a completely bad spell. There are at least 300 versions of similar spells 15,000 years later, and each version is ten times better than this so-called improved version.


    The rookie invented a bullshit second-level spell and won the regional grand prize, which made Oscar speechless.


    "The magic of this era is really backward!"


    This weekly has seven academic papers, three of which are bullshit, and the other four are extremely childish. This kind of stuff can be published in a professional magic weekly!


    There are several more weekly magazines.


    There is no need to read it anymore.


    The gap between the two eras is simply like a cold star compared to a blazing sun, a jackdaw compared to a phoenix!


    Oscar lay back on the bed, excited. "My head is full of knowledge and magic from thousands of years later, and the formulas for alchemy, medicine and talismans. If I write any one of them, it has been improved by countless magicians over thousands of years, almost perfect, and it cannot be changed! So money is not a problem at all!"


    Oscar turned his head and looked at Alice who was sleeping like a little angel!


    "I will make money, a lot of money!"


    "I want to practice to become a divine magician again. In this era, it seems that no one has practiced to this level..."


    Oscar fell asleep while thinking about it.


    The next day''s sunshine poured into the house through the small window, and Oscar woke up. Staring at the small bedroom, he suddenly felt like he was dreaming.


    Oscar was full of strength.


    The weakness of yesterday was swept away.


    Oscar found that Alice was not around, and she got up and left.


    Oscar got up and got dressed.


    At this time, Alice''s voice came from outside the door, a little flustered and angry, "Scoundrel! Give it back to me!"


    "Oh, little girl, you have a bad temper. Didn''t Oscar teach you well? I don''t care about a few little steamed bun uncles"


    "Someone bullied Alice again!"


    Oscar took out a gun from under the pillow and rushed out the door immediately.


    Three hooligans dressed in ruffian clothes stood at the door of the house, holding a few steaming buns, and a few pairs of thieves looked at the petite and beautiful Alice unscrupulously, but the evil in their eyes was not concealed. Seeing Oscar was stunned for a moment, pretending to be indifferent.


    "Master, they bullied Alice!" Alice threw away a stick she had picked up and threw herself into Oscar''s arms, "They also stole the steamed buns I bought!"


    A bald man stood up and said with a smirk, "Hey, isn''t this Master Oscar?"


    Oscar said angrily, "Get lost!"


    "Don''t say such harsh words. We were sent by Master Du to visit you. A guy in the casino was a little too heavy-handed and almost beat you to death. I''m really sorry." The bald man still smiled smirk, "You owe the casino more than ten silver coins. According to the rules of the underworld, if you don''t return it on time, your hands will be chopped off!"


    Du Feng is the son of the casino owner. He is narrow-minded and will take revenge for any slight. The bald man is his minion. Last time, it was a trivial conflict in the casino. Du Feng asked someone to hit Oscar to death, and even went to rob and smash. The third uncle took the opportunity to take away the magic field. He is the culprit that caused Oscar and Alice to be penniless!Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.


    The bald man continued to smile and said, "Master Du is kind-hearted and can''t bear to chop off your hand, so he pointed out a way to live for you. I accidentally saw your little maid that day, and the eldest master was very interested. If you hand her over, this debt will be written off, and I will give you 10 silver coins!"


    Oscar''s anger rose suddenly, and he immediately pointed the black muzzle of the gun at the bald man.


    Alice was shocked and scared, and hugged Oscar''s hand, "They are from the casino!"


    The gangsters were frightened at first, and they couldn''t help but smile smugly at this.


    "Your little maid is good, but you should be tired of playing for a few years. You are so poor that you can''t even afford steamed buns. Master Du is kind enough to give you a way to live. Don''t be shameless, otherwise..." The bald man snorted, "You know, Baisong Town is cold and slippery. If you fall and bump, you may not be able to survive every time."


    **Naked threat!


    Mu Alice''s face turned pale.


    Oscar''s anger could not be restrained, "You are going too far! Do you really think I dare not shoot?"


    "Master! Don''t!"


    Alice hurriedly shouted, the powerful dragon does not suppress the local snake, not to mention Oscar is not a powerful dragon, but just a poor teenager who has lost all his family wealth. The Du family is quite powerful in Baisong Town, and it is too easy to kill Oscar, just like last time.


    If Oscar died, what should Alice do?


    "You asked for it." The bald man threw the steamed bun under his feet and crushed it into the snow with his feet, "Brothers, let''s go!"


    Alice showed a distressed look.


    The few copper coins earned by working all night were all ruined by the gangsters.


    The three gangsters squeezed onto the snowmobile, the engine roared, and deliberately used the tires to stir up a large piece of snow, all of which were scattered on Oscar and Alice, and screamed away.


    "It''s Alice''s fault for being careless and letting the bad guys take the steamed buns away."


    Oscar brushed off the snow on his body and said gently: "It''s my fault, but this won''t happen again, I promise!" Oscar looked back at the house and suddenly asked, "How much is the house worth?"


    "If it is sold to the trading house, it will probably be 4,000 copper coins. If it is sold directly to others, it can probably be sold for 5,000."


    "Sell the house first."


    "If we sell the house, we will have no place to live! If we stay outside, we will freeze to death!"


    "Now even the gangsters dare to bully me. How can I feel at ease if you, a girl, stay at home? The hotel owner has a strong background, and the casino dare not make trouble in the hotel. Let''s stay in the hotel!"


    Alice hesitated, "The hotel fee is too high, and it costs hundreds of copper coins every day!"


    "As long as there are a few days of peace, I will take care of the money." Oscar saw that Alice was still a little worried, and comforted her: "Alice, believe me."


    Alice bit her lip and nodded, "No matter what, Alice will stay with the young master."


    Oscar said, "This life was originally picked up, but before Alice can live a good life, even if the god of death comes to invite me personally, I will not leave!"


    Alice was so moved that she was about to cry again, "Master."


    Oscar wiped her tears for her, "Don''t cry, bring the house deed quickly."


    The house deed was a scroll, two fingers thick, ten centimeters long, made of high-quality sheepskin, and the scroll material itself was worth three to five hundred copper coins. After opening it, it was only more than one foot long, filled with dense symbols, emitting magical fluctuations.


    Alice stuffed the worn-out clothes, tableware, and broken radio into a large sack. The furniture was in the hotel, so there was no need to take it away. The sewing machine was broken and big, worth only a few copper coins and difficult to move, so she had to leave it in the house and sell it together with the house.


    The two went out with large and small bags.


    The neighbors around saw this and talked about it privately. Is this bad prodigal son finally going to sell even the last property?


    What a pity for a beautiful maid!


    First time on the street.


    Oscar is full of curiosity about the ancient world.


    Human civilization has two periods.


    [Mechanical Period]: About 20,000-50,000 years ago, the human race dominated the continent with technological civilization, so they invented a large number of terrifying weapons. Eventually, a civil war broke out among the human race, and the forbidden weapons destroyed the civilization. The alien races in various places took the opportunity to rise up and seize the dominant position of the human race, and the human race temporarily withdrew from the stage of history.


    After the 20,000-year gap


    [Skill and Martial Arts Period] Opens: From the first year of the new calendar to 16211, this period is the Skill and Martial Arts Period. After the end of mechanical civilization, the alien races ruled the entire continent and destroyed the crystallization of human wisdom. In 20,000 years, the human race was almost exterminated. Finally, under the leadership of some great men, they extracted the alien civilization and finally found the two civilization paths of the way of magic and the way of martial arts, thus creating a vigorous civilization of magic and martial arts.


    In the era when Oscar lived, the human race regained its heyday in the mechanical period. The art and martial arts were highly developed. Only a few countries were researching mechanical technology, but it was not taken seriously and had no chance to return to the historical stage.


    Now, although the civilization has been rebuilt, it is not strong enough. There are several alien races on the mainland that are not weaker than the human race.


    In addition, although the new civilization has been opened, the traces of the previous civilization are obvious. Mechanical instruments or equipment can be seen all over the streets. They all have one common feature. Most of them are rough and practical without considering beauty. They are made based on the technical remnants of the previous civilization.


    Mechanical transportation exists, but it is not very popular.


    The transportation on the street is mainly horses. Occasionally, wild beasts such as giant wolves and wild bulls can be seen. Most people wear weapons such as swords, knives, and sticks. People dress differently, mainly robes, cloth armor, and leather armor. Metal armor is not popular because it is too cold here.


    In the commercial area of ??the town, the streets are about eight meters wide. The snow is swept cleanly, and people come and go, which is very lively.


    The shop is quite unique, with a small bell at the door. Every time it is struck, what echoes is not the bell, but the advertising slogan recorded by the shop owner.


    "Shenji Pavilion special offer, new pistols are on sale, 10% off, only 9500 copper coins!" At the door of this gun shop, there is a huge plate with a small phantom array engraved on it. Various types of guns appear in it, switching every five seconds, which is dazzling.


    "Lao Li''s blacksmith shop, one hundred newly cast fine iron swords, certified by formal channels. Lao Li''s fine iron swords can cut iron like mud and are durable. Choose enough now and get a gift." This is a weapons shop, and a small phantom array is also installed at the door. The cold and shining swords are accompanied by the sound of powerful sheathing, which is very attractive.


    "Welcome to the Black Horse store, a chamber of commerce under the Nalan Group, famous in the north, with leading sales! Choose Black Horse when buying a car, after-sales service is guaranteed!" This is a brand-name car store. Through the glass window, there are two-tire motorcycles, three-wheeled and four-wheeled cars, all in different colors and cool shapes, but the cheapest low-end cars, but the cheapest ones cost hundreds of thousands, which is not something Oscar can afford.


    Oscar sighed: "Without money, nothing can be done."


    The business in Baisong Town is not developed, but there is no shortage of drug stores, gun stores, weapon stores, material stores, and trading houses. Although the scale is limited, it can meet local needs.


    In the center of the commercial district, there is a three-story white building with the flag of the Nalan family outside. This is the trading house. The trading house is spacious and bright, with heating equipment, tile floors, and gold-inlaid stone pillars. It is spotless and very clean.


    Nalan family


    The first business family in the north, with a 650-year heritage, auction houses, trading houses, material stores and weapon stores are spread across towns and cities!


    "This sign..."


    The flag in front of the Nalan Trading House is exactly the same as the flag on the carriage last night.


    The passing woman is from the Nalan family!


    Oscar sold the house deed directly.


    In exchange for 4,500 copper coins.


    Now the master and servant have completely fallen to the point of having nothing!

 Chapter 5 Snow Wolf Mercenary

    The girl was very uneasy, and finally sold all her property!


    Oscar held her little hand, raised his mouth slightly, and showed a light but gentle smile, "Don''t worry, let''s go to the hotel first!"


    Alice was held by a warm big hand, and her heart was warm and she became at ease.


    With the young master here, everything will be fine!


    The two walked on the busy street. Alice passed by a warlock shop and was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of spell books and items. A trace of desire that was difficult to conceal flashed in her flawless eyes.


    These things are very expensive!


    I can''t afford them even if I lose everything!


    A calm and gentle voice sounded in her ears: "Alice wants to learn magic?"


    Alice hurriedly retracted her gaze, lowered her head with some inferiority, and said timidly, "I... I don''t! Alice is not worthy of learning magic!"


    "Everyone can learn magic, why can''t you?" Oscar rubbed her little head and said, "These spells are too bad. As long as you settle down, I will definitely teach you the best!"


    The girl opened her beautiful eyes, and her clear eyes were full of stars: "Really?"


    Oscar smiled and scratched her little nose and said, "What do you think?"


    Alice smiled happily, she was very happy, she had no doubts about Oscar.


    The Snow Wolf Hotel is located in the north of the town, and its reputation has always been good, and its safety is very high.


    Because the Snow Wolf Hotel has a great background, its backer is the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group.


    The Snow Wolf Mercenary is a 47-year-old old mercenary group. Not counting peripheral personnel, there are 190,000 registered members alone, including about 50,000 logistics personnel, and the remaining 140,000 are all combat mercenaries.


    The Snow Wolf Mercenaries have five branches, one of which is located in Baicheng. As for the towns including Baisong Town, all of them have Snow Wolf Mercenaries'' industries, mainly hotels, taverns, repair shops, and material stores. If you dare to touch the hotel, you will have trouble with the Snow Wolf Mercenaries. The power of the casino is not worth mentioning in front of the giant Snow Wolf Mercenaries.


    The hotel is a bit old, but it is big and strong enough, with a total of four floors.


    Oscar just walked in and immediately saw two people talking at the counter.


    One of them is a one-eyed man in his fifties, with sparse hair, a face full of flesh, and a wound on his head. His blind eye is covered with a black eye mask, and he has a black metal crutch under his armpit. You can feel a fierce aura from a distance.


    The one-eyed man is the owner of the hotel. He became a mercenary at the age of nineteen and worked for a full thirty years. He was slapped by a violent bear and blinded in a mission. Soon after, he was left with a leg disability in another mission. He was forced to withdraw from the front line and became a logistics staff. He was sent to Baisong Town to manage the industry.


    Because he is straightforward and an experienced old mercenary, he is respected by his peers.


    "One-eyed boss, old man Chen left a letter of resignation and ran away."


    "Fuck, why!"


    "Salary... your salary is too low, and mercenary customers are too difficult to serve, so..."


    "I think the salary is too low, damn it, the salary is too low, why did he run away! If I meet him next time, I will break his dog legs! Get out! Find me a pharmacist within three days! If you can''t find one, don''t come back!"


    The veins on the forehead of the one-eyed man were bulging, and his loud voice like a broken gong scared the two. The young man who was splashed with spit left the hotel in disgrace.


    Oscar and Alice looked at each other.


    The one-eyed man noticed the two of them and immediately said, "Hey! Whose little kid is it? Do you want to get a room and have sex? Our beds are very sturdy and can withstand the tossing and the beds are big and comfortable!"


    Alice blushed immediately!


    Mercenaries are generally rude and low-quality, and the one-eyed man is a weird one among them!


    "Uncle misunderstood." Oscar was also a little embarrassed, cleared his throat and said, "We want a normal-sized house."


    The one-eyed man laughed loudly, "Ha! Look at you, you are so useless! You are still embarrassed! When I was your age, I had already been in and out of the building openly, and fucked women so hard that they screamed! Hahahaha!"


    Oscar''s forehead had a few black lines.


    Is this old rogue going to stop?


    One-Eye took out a notebook and threw it on the table with a snap. "Standard single room, 30 coppers per hour, with a bathroom and hot water. You can take a bath after you''re done. Haha, the price is fair! In fact, a few shots don''t take long, but young people are more energetic, two hours is enough..."


    Oscar interrupted the chattering one-eyed man and said, "We plan to stay here for a long time."You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.


    "Long-term stay?" One-Eye''s eyes lingered on the two of them for a moment, and with an ugly face, he warned seriously, "Young people should know how to be moderate, otherwise you will regret it when you are old! Let me tell you, there was a guy in our group before, who was known as the night slept with ten women, guess what happened to him later. He died! His strength was drained by women, he couldn''t even hold the sword steadily, and was trampled into a meat paste by the magic bulls!"


    The old mercenary kindly educated the young man, but what kind of thoughts are in his head!


    Oscar interrupted him directly, "Don''t worry about it! I just want to stay!"


    One-eyed man grinned and showed his big yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "Okay, you have a surname! I like it! Originally, it would cost 250 copper coins a day, but I like you, so I''ll save the change. Tell me, how many days."


    Oscar quickly took out the money: "I''ll pay for 10 days first."


    "Okay!" One-eyed man scribbled a few talismans on the bill, "Sign here and get the key. There is a kind of Golden Gun Pill in the Baicaotang Pharmacy in the east of the town. It''s quite effective, but don''t take too much. There was a kid in the group who ate Golden Gun Pill as candy beans. Guess what happened to him later? I tell you, he died. Have you heard of a way of dying called exhaustion? He survived the storms and waves, but died on a woman''s belly in the end. I laughed to death, hahaha..."


    Oscar couldn''t stand One-eyed man''s chattering and spitting, so he signed and paid immediately.


    The old mercenary was rude, but he was very generous and righteous.


    The reputation and power of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries were good!


    At the moment of signing, Oscar suddenly had an idea that he was too young. Would it cause trouble if he wrote down those knowledge of magic? If there was a loyal organization to protect him, perhaps many dangers could be avoided.


    Judging from the remaining memories of this body.


    One-Eye is a big shot in the town!


    All the mercenaries in the town obeyed the command of One-Eye, and even the mayor did not dare to make trouble with One-Eye!


    Oscar thought of this and suddenly said: "I happened to hear the uncle talking. Snow Wolf wants to recruit a pharmacist?"


    "Boom!"


    One-Eye slapped the table, and the whole room shook.


    Alice was scared pale. The mercenary was really strong!


    One-Eye cursed and yelled, "Damn it, I get angry just talking about it. Nowadays, there are so many pharmacists, they don''t have much skills, but they are so arrogant! That old man surnamed Chen is a third-rate guy. He didn''t finish the work in two months, but he died!"


    Oscar wiped the saliva on his face and said, "Then... don''t you need a pharmacist?"


    "There are still two in the group, so we can hold on for a while." One-Eye looked ferocious and yelled, "I will go to his house after get off work and visit him with a bucket of kerosene! If you dare not come back, I will burn his whole family to death!"


    Oscar walked back to the counter: "Uncle, do you think I can do it?"


    "What? Just you kid?" One-Eye glared at him, curled his lips and yelled, "It''s only been a few years since he was weaned, has the hair on his crotch grown? Is this the kind of work you do? Get out! Go and have fun with the girls honestly, don''t make fun of me! Be careful or I''ll beat you up!"


    One-Eye was born with a hoarse voice, spitting and swearing, which was really unbearable to listen to.


    Alice found it strange that the young master wanted to be a pharmacist?


    This is a highly skilled job!


    Oscar was not angry. He looked at the lame leg of the one-eyed man and said, "Uncle, there is a way to cure your leg!"


    "You..." The one-eyed man seemed to be hit in the sore spot and became angry. "Little bastard, you dare to use your lame leg to ridicule me? Believe it or not, even if I am missing an eye and a leg, I can still break the neck of the stone-horned beast!"


    Oscar saw that the one-eyed man was about to get angry, and immediately explained, "Did your leg get injured by the fire demon?"


    The one-eyed man''s face changed continuously, and he was silent for several seconds. With a little sadness, he laughed again, "I want to laugh when I talk about it! That beast only wants one leg of mine, but I want its head! Who do you think is more profitable? Hahaha!"


    "Growing bone grass, white ganoderma, black lamp grass, frost grass, snow toad, seven-tailed worm..."


    "What the hell?!"


    Oscar said solemnly, "Collect the materials, I will give you the formula to make medicine. I can''t guarantee 100% recovery, but at least you can walk normally."


    "You..." One-Eye certainly didn''t believe it, but his voice was a little trembling, and he said angrily: "You little brat! Damn it! How dare you tease me! I''ll break your legs!"


    How could One-Eye adapt to the fact that the mercenary who was so brave back then became a cripple?


    For many years, this has been a heartache!


    The regiment has thought of many ways for him, spent a lot of money, and invited several famous therapists and pharmacists, but in the end they were helpless.


    How old is Oscar?


    This kid must be playing tricks on me!


    These materials are very cheap, how can they cure disability?


    Oscar continued: "These materials are easy to find. I''ll write them down for you. You might as well give them a try. If they really don''t work, it''s not too late to break my legs!" Oscar didn''t wait for his consent, and quickly wrote a long list of material names with a pen and handed them to One-Eye.


    "This..."


    One-Eye saw that Oscar looked serious and didn''t seem to be joking.


    Although I don''t understand how to make medicine, some of the ingredients seem to have been prescribed by alchemists, and they do help with leg injuries.


    This won''t really work, will it?


    One-Eye curled his lips, "What can I see from this? I can''t joke with my brothers'' lives. Unless I can show some real skills, I can be the special alchemist of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group? Dream on!"


    "Okay!"


    Oscar took the key to the door and directly scratched a bloody mark on his left hand.


    "Ah!"


    Alice screamed.


    One-Eye was also stunned.


    "Uncle One-Eye, please look at it."


    A faint white light suddenly emanated from the palm of Oscar''s right hand, and the wound on the back of his hand healed bit by bit at a slower speed.


    "Healing spell!"


    "You actually know healing spells!"


    Warlocks are rare, so they have a noble status.


    Healers are an extremely rare group among warlocks, and they have a transcendent status among warlocks!


    In Oscar''s time, pharmacy was a compulsory course for warlocks, especially for healers! Oscar''s magic power was low, only at the level of an apprentice. However, since he could perform healing, regardless of whether he really knew how to make medicine, his potential as a healer was enough for the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group to extend an olive branch!


    "Knowing a little healing doesn''t necessarily mean you are a pharmacist... or not!" One-Eye was in a dilemma, "Don''t say I''m a nagging person! But I can''t joke about my brother''s life!"


    Oscar was not angry, but felt good about him.


    Although he was rude and vulgar, he was just an honest man!


    Oscar said calmly: "It doesn''t matter. Let''s cure your leg first, and then we can talk about formal work."


    One-Eye laughed: "If you have the ability to cure my leg, I will rob you and pull you over to be a pharmacist!"


    "Alice, let''s go upstairs."


    Alice felt like she had found a new world, and her two beautiful eyes were full of admiration. "The young master not only knows pharmacy, but also knows healing. It''s amazing!"


    "Apprentice-level healing can only treat abrasions and cuts at most, and you can''t make money from it."


    Alice was very confident and said with longing: "The young master knows healing at such a young age, and he will definitely become a real healer in the future! There are only a few healers in Baisong Town, and they earn at least dozens of silver coins every month!!"


    "What''s this little money? We must pursue it. Wait, I will give you a bigger surprise!"


    Alice didn''t know what Oscar was thinking, but Oscar became gentle and considerate. This was the biggest surprise God gave her. Apart from that, I don''t care about anything and don''t expect anything. As long as I can live a good life with the young master, that''s enough.

    In this period, only some alien races with extremely high magic civilization can find a little clue of these advanced magics, and there is definitely no research among the human race.


    Oscar just discovered.


    How terrifying his own knowledge is!


    This will overturn the world and cause a sensation across the continent!


    Oscar should not be too high-profile. Just choose a few low-level spells that can be exchanged for money.


    There are only two parts for a warlock to cast a spell.


    The first part is to build a spell template first. This is like setting up a turret before a battle, but the cannon is not loaded with ammunition for the time being.


    The second part is to recite a spell to activate the spell. The spell is the cannonball, the mana is the gunpowder, and each spell corresponds to a model. Because it takes a long time to build a template, when the model is activated by the spell and the spell is generated, the template will disappear, and it will be too late to reconstruct the template before the battle. Therefore, according to the differences between the opponent and the environment, the warlock must prepare targeted spells in advance, which is a test of wisdom and experience.


    The number and level of the spell templates prepared by the warlock at one time are limited, which is related to strength.


    "Okay!"


    Oscar wrote out the spell concept and theoretical principles, and then drew the most important spell template. Every detail was carefully annotated, but the activating spell was not written.


    This can prevent theft. Only spell templates without spells are useless. When the template is reviewed and the spell is confirmed to be established, and the other party has paid, Oscar will tell the other party the spell, so that it is foolproof.


    "What is the young master writing? What strange symbols and patterns!"


    Alice was wearing a white bathrobe, and her beautiful face was slightly red.


    Oscar couldn''t help but glance at the girl''s chest. The amazing arc and deep gap made his heart beat faster again. Oscar quickly looked away and explained: "This is a magic blueprint. Warlocks can learn magic by practicing according to it! Don''t worry, I will teach you my magic in person after a while!"


    Others couldn''t help but despise him when they heard this!


    A mere apprentice dared to speak so arrogantly?


    Alice didn''t understand anything, but she felt that the young master had become so powerful. She admired him and had a little expectation.


    "Write a few more articles!"


    Oscar started writing and completed several sets of magic blueprints, and completed five level 1 spells in one go!


    Level 1 Metal Spell [Iron Repair]!


    Level 1 Wood Spell [Anesthetize Thorns]!


    Level 1 Water Spell [Weak Acid Water Ball]!


    Level 1 Fire Spell [Flame Spray]!


    Level 1 Earth Spell [Rock Skin]!


    Level 0 spells are apprentice-level spells, not formal spells, and submissions are difficult to be included, so choose level 1 spells.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    After 15,000 years, even an 8-year-old kid can memorize the principles, templates, and spells of these five-element spells.


    Oscar asked Alice to stay in the hotel, "Stay in the room and listen to the radio, don''t run around, I''m going out to do something."


    The little girl fiddled with the radio obediently, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, young master."


    The five sets of drawings were sorted out, rolled up, tied with silk thread, written with names, and taken away from the hotel.


    Baisong Town has a population of more than 100,000 people. There are many research organizations for magic and martial arts, and research organizations established by family forms are very common.


    The Du family is the largest family-based martial arts research organization in the town, attracting an astonishing number of martial artists, including many martial arts masters. The mayor has to give the Du family some face, so they dare to open gambling houses and record houses and act tyrannically.


    As for the magic research organization, the strongest one in the town is the Li family.


    The Li family is originally a magic family. A few years ago, they spent a huge amount of money to obtain the agency distribution qualification of "Magic Weekly", thus establishing the status of the Li family magic research association!


    "Magic" is an academic journal published by the Magic Guild every week. This is the most popular journal in the north. Almost every magician will buy it, so it is very popular. The Li family can obtain the agency printing and sales qualification of "Magic Weekly" in Baisong Town. In addition to personal connections and strong financial resources, it has certain background and strength.


    Of course, the number of magicians is far less than that of martial artists, especially in ordinary towns, it is impossible to attract too many magicians to stay. The Li family has attracted a group of magicians, but the number and strength are still far inferior to those of the Du family.


    Oscar came to the Li family''s warlock shop.


    This is a shop dedicated to serving warlocks.


    There are more than a dozen warlocks queuing at the manuscript counter, each holding a manuscript in their hands, with nervousness and excitement on their faces. These people are all apprentices, and they don''t expect to be published in authoritative publications such as "Warlock Weekly". As long as they can be accepted by ordinary journals or even newspapers, it will be fine.


    Everyone wants to be famous.


    Warlocks in this era are very hard, especially poor warlocks, because they can''t afford to go to the Warlock Academy, let alone hire good teachers, so they can only explore hard on their own. Most of them are still apprentices throughout their lives and have no great prospects.


    These people work hard to publish papers. As long as they are accepted, they may be appreciated by formal warlocks and accepted as apprentices, so that they can avoid many detours!


    Oscar couldn''t help but feel a little sad.


    Without systematic learning, the foundation is weak, how can you write a good paper? The probability of a blind cat catching a dead mouse is very small. The manuscripts sent out with passion and dreams are finally rejected mercilessly. The years are constantly passing, and finally they grow old in frustration and waste their lives. It is really pitiful.


    If I have the opportunity in the future, I will help a group of poor warlocks!


    "White root grass, stone horn beast saliva, slime mucus, black spot beast bone marrow, blue crystal powder, snow demon nails..." A steady and powerful voice came, and he reported the names of more than a dozen expensive materials in succession, "50 copies of each, hurry up!"


    A handsome young warlock stood at the material window and knocked on the table impatiently.


    "So many materials... It must cost hundreds or even thousands of silver coins!"


    "What a rich man!"


    The apprentices showed envy, and when they saw the logo on the young man''s robe, envy turned into awe, because it was the pattern of a formal warlock. Although he didn''t know the other party''s level, he was definitely not an apprentice. There were more than 100,000 people in Baisong Town, thousands of apprentices, and only 30 or 40 warlocks.


    Finally, it was Oscar''s turn.


    Oscar handed over the parchment, "Hello, I want to submit an original spell!"


    "Original spell?" The staff looked up in surprise and looked at Oscar, who was only 16 years old, "You?"


    "Yes!"


    The staff curled his lips, "Another ungrateful person... Fill out the form, 50 copper handling fee."


    Oscar was too lazy to argue and immediately completed the submission procedures.


    "Hey, isn''t it Mr. Mu?"


    A young man came with two black bodyguards. This man was tall, wearing a wolf fur coat, a complete white fox fur collar, a pistol on his waist, and a short sword in a cowhide scabbard. His name was Du Feng.


    Anger rose in his heart.


    This is the number one enemy!


    It was he who sent people to beat Oscar to death, sent people to smash the house, and also caused Alice to be beaten and left penniless...


    It''s just that the time for revenge has not come yet.


    Oscar didn''t show any expression, frowned slightly and said: "What advice do you have?"


    Du Feng laughed, "I dare not give advice, but I admire you very much. You are a guy who has not even read a few books, but you dare to submit your work. You are really brave!"


    "This doesn''t seem to be your business, right?"


    "Of course." Du Feng narrowed his eyes, smiled but didn''t smile, and spread his hands and said, "I''m just worried that someone has money to waste on submissions but doesn''t pay back the debt. In the end, not only will his hands be chopped off, but the beautiful little maid will be forced to use it to pay off the debt! Don''t worry, when the time comes, my brothers and I will take good care of the little maid."


    Oscar sneered, "This kind of thing won''t happen, so don''t bother!"


    He tried to provoke him several times, but failed!


    When did this bad-tempered playboy become difficult to deal with?


    Du Feng was a little impatient, and snorted, "I''ll give you another chance. Give me the maid obediently, and I''ll spare your life. In this town, I''ve never failed to get what I want. It''s best not to refuse a toast! Otherwise, no one can save you!"


    Oscar didn''t have time to speak.


    "Oh, so impressive!" The young man on the side couldn''t stand it anymore, and pointed at the staff at the counter and shouted, "When did a lowly warrior start barking in your warlock shop!"


    Several staff members were shocked and turned pale.


    "Who are you..." Du Feng was furious, but when he saw the warlock badge on the other party''s chest, his face changed and showed a fearful look. Formal warlocks have a noble status. There are more than 30 warlocks in the town. Du Feng knows who it is. This person is so young and a stranger. Could it be... an outsider?


    The young man said word by word, "Don''t ask who I am, but it''s always right to be polite, otherwise you won''t live long."


    "You!"


    Du Feng''s eyes flashed coldly.


    There is a world of difference between a warlock and an apprentice. A warlock around 20 years old must have excellent talent. Du Feng is arrogant and domineering, but he is still cautious. He doesn''t want to offend a real warlock for a waste. It''s not difficult for him to kill Oscar. If he offends someone who is not easy to offend, it will be troublesome. It''s just that the face... It''s really embarrassing.


    Du Feng stopped the bodyguard and laughed, "Misunderstood, we just made a little joke."


    "Some jokes can''t be made casually." The young man patted Oscar, "Let''s go!"


    Seeing that the other party didn''t take him seriously at all, Du Feng''s face turned green and red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Oscar, I will make you live a life worse than death!"


    That maid.


    I''m determined!


    You care about that woman so much, I will play with her in front of you!


    Du Feng''s eyes flashed with an evil light.

 Chapter 7 Wizard

    "It''s broken!"


    Oscar walked for a while and suddenly stopped, his expression solemn.


    The young warlock seemed to stand up for Oscar, but it actually had the opposite effect. Du Feng happened to see Oscar submitting his manuscript. In a fit of anger, he could completely rely on the power of the Du family to force the other party to directly kill Oscar''s manuscript without even looking at it.


    Oscar was an unknown apprentice.


    The Li family didn''t have the courage to offend the eldest son of the Du family for a little apprentice. The submission would most likely be rejected! Du Feng would even make a good call to the agent solicitation of major journals and newspapers in the town, and would not accept any submissions from anyone named Oscar!


    If that were the case.


    Oscar would have no way out.


    Judging from Du Feng''s personality, this is very likely!


    Oscar narrowed his eyes slightly!


    Although he was in a bad mood, Oscar didn''t want to worry Alice, so on the way back, he bought some cakes and fruits that Alice liked. After sorting out his emotions, he walked into the hotel.


    "Little brat! Why did you come back just now!"


    One-Eye limped out of the hotel, with an anxious look on his ugly face.


    Oscar couldn''t help but feel strange and asked immediately: "What''s the matter?"


    "Why are you asking? The little girl saw that you haven''t come back for too long, and wanted to go out to find you, but she fainted after walking a few steps!"


    Oscar''s expression changed suddenly when he heard it, and he rushed over, "Why would a healthy person faint?"


    One-Eye is a decades-old mercenary, but he was shocked by Oscar''s current appearance, "How the hell do I know! She fainted by herself, it''s none of my business! Now send her back to the room, I also asked a therapist in the group to see her, but the situation seems... not good!"


    Oscar ran upstairs directly.


    Alice was lying on the bed in the room, and the situation was really bad. Her fair skin was purple-black, and the sweat that flowed out was dark red, like blood but not quite the same. After solidification, it dyed the sheets and quilts purple-blue. This symptom did not look like any disease, but more like someone had cast a dark spell.


    Dark magic?


    Impossible!


    In this era, few people know dark magic. Even if there are, they will not appear in a remote town, let alone attack a girl who has no resistance!


    One-Eye followed up, and when he saw Alice''s current appearance, he was even more shocked, "Ah, it''s worse than before! Don''t go over... This may be the plague!"


    "You are the plague!"


    Oscar rushed to the bedside and touched Alice''s forehead. The body temperature was very high, she was unconscious, and there was a smell of [***]. The lotus-like arm turned black, and the blue veins were clearly visible. Then he turned over Alice''s eyelids, and the whole white of the eye looked red, which was very scary.


    "This is..."


    Oscar quickly retracted his hand!


    One-Eye bravely walked in with two mercenaries: "I have traveled all over the country and never seen such a strange disease. I am afraid she won''t last long!"


    "This disease can be cured. I need several materials." Oscar turned around and said to him: "The sap of the fluorescent tree, the light algae, the snow phosphorus, and the white crystal powder. I will write a refining formula for you. My mana is too low to make the potion. Please ask the pharmacist in the group to help. How much money will it cost?"


    "At least 20 silver coins!"


    Oscar looked embarrassed.


    The money is far from enough.


    "This is all my money!" Oscar stuffed the whole purse into One-Eye and said anxiously, "The disease cannot be delayed, otherwise it will be over. The remaining money will be returned to you. No matter what, I will definitely return it to you! Please help me!"


    Oscar, the great magician!


    I have never begged anyone like this before!


    But Alice has done so much for me.


    What the hell dignity!


    Oscar can''t even save Alice, is he still a man?


    "Bah! What nonsense! Saving people is more important!" One-Eye raised his metal cane, hit the mercenary on the head, and shouted, "What the hell are you doing? Are you deaf or blind? Go buy materials!"


    The mercenary went downstairs in a panic.


    Oscar was very grateful and was about to thank him.


    One-Eye waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to talk nonsense, and just asked curiously: "Can you tell what''s wrong?"


    Oscar had already breathed a sigh of relief, so he patiently explained: "This is a certain kind of demonic power stagnating in the body, which eventually causes the body''s reaction. Evil power will gradually erode the body, affect the mind and spirit, and eventually lead to a demonization reaction, turning a person into a demon!"


    "Demonization... this is demonization?" One-Eye widened his eyes, unable to believe it, "Doesn''t demonization only occur in special environments or when eroded by special demons? How can it be demonized for no reason in the town in broad daylight?"The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.


    "I don''t know, but the fluorescent tree potion is a potion with a micro-purification effect. Because it was discovered early, Alice''s body was not highly polluted, and the fluorescent tree potion was enough to dispel the evil energy in the body."


    Fluorescent tree potion?


    Micro-purification effect?


    Never heard of it!


    One-Eye only knew that once someone was occupied by evil power, there would be no hope for a demonization reaction. The best way was to kill the polluted person himself before the demonization appeared. If there is a potion that can cure people contaminated by evil forces, a recipe is worth a million!


    The materials were found.


    Oscar handed the recipe to One-Eye, "Make the potion according to the formula above!"


    One-Eye handed it to a mercenary beside him, "Do it!"


    A warlock of the Snow Wolf mercenary made a bottle of potion according to the formula, and Oscar immediately fed it to Alice.


    The effect was immediate!


    Alice''s skin color quickly returned to normal, and became fair again, even whiter and tenderer than before!


    "This... incredible!"


    "Get out! All of you get out!" Oscar pushed the mercenary out of the room and said in an unquestionable tone: "Alice can''t be disturbed now!"


    One-Eye wanted to ask something, but was directly driven out.


    A mercenary was very upset: "Damn it! This guy is really outrageous. We helped him, what kind of attitude is this!"


    One-Eye was trembling with excitement, "Did you write down the formula?"


    "I remembered it!"


    "This deal is really fucking profitable!" One-Eye was excited, and then he remembered something and asked anxiously, "Have you found all the materials I asked you to find?"


    The mercenary said in surprise: "You don''t really believe that this kid can cure your leg!"


    "Nonsense! Find it quickly!"


    One-Eye completely believed in Oscar''s level of pharmacy!


    Damn it, I really picked up a treasure!


    A talent... No! A genius!


    Must be dug up for the Snow Wolf Mercenaries, no matter how much it costs!


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Oscar sat down silently in front of Alice''s bed.


    He held Alice''s cold little hand with both hands, his face full of worry.


    People don''t become demons for no reason. This is related to Alice''s special physique. Oscar feels that there is an evil and powerful force hidden in Alice''s body!


    Unable to break her virginity.


    Demonized for no reason.


    Could it be that... legendary physique?


    Oscar thought of a possibility and felt his hands and feet cold. If the guess is true, it would be terrible!


    It is still uncertain at present.


    "Alice, your master is really useless." Oscar smiled at the girl with a frustrated look on his face, and said gently, "I wanted to make a lot of money by submitting an article, but it didn''t work again!"


    Touching Alice''s face, he sighed helplessly.


    Not making any money, but owing a bigger sum!


    These days are getting harder and harder!


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    At the same time!


    Baisong Town, a certain laboratory.


    "Toxins remain at 68%, poor removal effect!"


    "Failed!"


    "Failed again!"


    "The 56th failure, the amount of white root grass is too little? Lan Feng, add one unit of white root grass!"


    The old man stared at the test tube, his face full of worry.


    This man was wearing a white robe, his hair and beard were all white, his hair was messy, his face was haggard, and he hadn''t slept for several days. If someone could recognize him, they would be surprised. This person''s identity is not simple. He is the first pharmacist in Baicheng and a master of the Five Elements Technique - Zhao Pu!


    A master-level figure!


    Not to mention a small town.


    The mayor of Baicheng respected him very much!


    Three months ago, a group of terrifying scorpion tail beasts appeared and entrenched in the Black Canyon. The Black Canyon is the main way for Baicheng to communicate with the outside world! This has a huge impact on Baicheng''s business and economy. Baicheng has dispatched troops several times, but all of them have returned in defeat.


    The scorpion tail beast itself is powerful, and its poison is even more deadly.


    The city lord learned from his mistakes and paid Zhao Pu a large sum of money to research an antidote to the scorpion tail beast venom.


    Zhao Pu studied the venom in Baicheng for several months and immediately locked on several things that could inhibit the scorpion tail beast venom, but each time he was just a little short. One of the materials was in large quantities near Baisong Town. In order to obtain the materials conveniently, Zhao Pu brought his students to Baisong Town and vowed to crack the scorpion tail beast venom.


    As a result, he failed again.


    The young man named Lan Feng said bitterly, "Teacher, the white root grass is used up!"


    Zhao Pu frowned, "What should I do!"


    Lan Feng whispered, "Did the wrong materials get used?"


    Zhao Pu was stunned, "What did you say?"


    "I met a weird guy. He accidentally heard about the material purchase and immediately guessed that we were going to make an antidote for the scorpion tail poison. He said, he said..." Lan Feng said this and suddenly laughed bitterly, "Forget it, nonsense, it must be nonsense."


    "Can you judge the content of the experiment from the materials? This person is definitely not simple!" Zhao Pu stared at Lan Feng and asked, "What did he say?"


    Lan Feng smiled bitterly and said, "He said he wanted to replace the white root grass with corpse grass... Teacher, isn''t this nonsense?"


    "Corpse grass...Corpse grass...Corpse grass..." Zhao Pu muttered to himself several times, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face flushed, "Second! Too fast! Judging from the toxicity of the corpse grass, this is indeed a possibility! Is it a method of fighting poison with poison?"


    "But, teacher..."


    Zhao Pu interrupted Lan Feng directly and said, "Where is this person? I want his information. It''s best to find him directly. He may be a genius in pharmacy!"


    "Yes!"


    Lan Feng left.


    Zhao Pu replaced the white root grass with corpse grass and made a bottle of potion.


    Zhao Pu couldn''t wait to pour the potion into the solution of scorpion tail beast poison. A magical scene happened. The color of the scorpion tail beast poison solution and the potion neutralized each other, and finally gradually became clear.


    The solution was tested once.


    0% of the toxins remained!


    No more scorpion tail beast poison!


    "It''s really resolved!"


    "Hey, there''s a little bit of corpse grass poison left, it must be too much, reduce it a little, then it will be a perfect bottle of interpretation potion!"


    "Success!"


    "I finally succeeded!"


    There is a way to eliminate that group of scorpion tail beasts!


    This is a big thing worth cheering for!


    Lan Feng came back and happened to see Zhao Pu laughing. He was stunned. The teacher who was known for his strictness and rigor and was known as the first pharmacist in Baicheng was so happy.


    "Did you find that person?"


    "I went to the warlock shop. This person had submitted a manuscript. I spent a little money to arrange it and finally found the submission in the waste box."


    Lan Feng handed a roll of parchment to Zhao Pu.


    Zhao Pu said in confusion: "He was rejected?"


    Lan Feng said: "Yes, this guy is just an apprentice, and he actually wants to invent a new technique. Isn''t this a joke? It would be strange if he didn''t get rejected!"


    Apprentice?


    Can an apprentice prepare an antidote for the scorpion tail beast''s venom?


    Zhao Pu untied the silk thread on the scroll, and a complete spell drawing appeared.


    "The format is very standard, not like the work of a newcomer!"


    "The magic concept of [Rock Skin]?"


    "Very interesting, good idea, very good!"


    Zhao Pu continued to read, and when he began to look at the principle of the spell, he became more and more solemn, "Rigorous! Rigorous! The theoretical structure of the spell is impeccable. The spell developed according to this principle should be feasible. At least, I can''t find any flaws. What is the reason for rejecting the manuscript? Not to mention that the template structure is unreasonable, this theory is qualified for research!"


    Lan Feng was very puzzled: "Teacher, what are you talking about?"


    "Don''t make a fuss!"


    Zhao Pu began to look at the template.


    The spell template is a key!


    Theory is research, and template is application.


    Even if you don''t understand the theory, as long as you master the template and spell, you can cast a spell.


    Zhao Pu''s eyes widened!


    Shocked!


    Excited!


    At the same time, he was filled with anger!


    "Perfect! Perfect!"


    "This person is a genius of the time!"


    "Is the reviewer blind?"


    Zhao Pu has been immersed in the world of silver magic for many years and is a highly respected master. At this moment, he was shocked and could not believe that there would be such a delicate and perfect level 1 spell in the world!

 Chapter 8 Super Rye

    Lan Feng followed Zhao Pu to study for 7 years. The teacher was famous for his strictness in Baicheng, almost to the point of being harsh. No one had ever received such high praise.


    Is this magic blueprint really that good?


    Zhao Pu couldn''t wait to turn to the next one.


    "Water Technique, Weak Acid Water Ball?"


    "Perfect!"


    "Perfect!"


    Zhao Pu read every blueprint carefully from beginning to end. The whole process took 4 hours. Lan Feng stood by and dared not speak. From beginning to end, Zhao Pu''s face was flushed, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he kept repeating the words "perfect" and "perfect"!


    "Old... teacher!"


    "Are you okay!"


    Lan Feng was a little worried. Zhao Pu was old, don''t let him die suddenly from long-term excitement!


    Zhao Pu threw a stack of parchment to Lan Feng, "Take a look for yourself!"


    Lan Feng was sucked in after reading only two lines, as if he was in a furnace, and his blood was boiling. Finally, I understand the teacher''s feelings. The spell concept is ingenious and inspiring. The principle description is sharp and concise, concise and to the point, and can be called a classic. There are some ideas and principles that benefited Lan Feng a lot.


    The best thing is the template!


    The template construction is the key to whether a spell is good or bad!


    For example, if the same mana is poured into different templates, the final spell effect is different.


    One of the templates is very simple and can be constructed in 5 minutes. The accompanying spell is short and can be activated in a few syllables. When the spell is formed by the template, it will eventually produce 120% of its power. The other template was very complicated and took 20 minutes to build. It often failed to build. The related spells were very obscure and difficult to pronounce, and it was easy to mispronounce or be interrupted. The mana was only 50% powerful after the template formation.


    The two spells were of the same level.


    The difference between good and bad was obvious!


    The templates of these five spells were simplified to an incredible degree. There was not a single redundant or difficult syllable in the spells. The final spell effect was almost perfect. The best warlock in the world would probably not be able to change it at all. A person who could write such a spell had such a great logical ability. He was simply a monster!


    "Perfect!"


    "Perfect!"


    "Perfect!"


    Lan Feng was getting more and more excited as he read on.


    The level 1 spells circulating on the mainland were simply crude!


    "The five arts are not of high level, but any one of them is a classic! Each of the five attributes creates an art. This person''s talent in the five elements of magic is really terrible!" Zhao Pu said meaningfully: "Did you find it from the rejection box?"


    "Yes... yes!"


    "It''s ridiculous!"


    "How could this classic of the five elements of magic with no flaws be rejected!" Lan Feng suddenly remembered something and said: "Wait... I remembered something!"


    "Remember what?"


    Lan Feng said: "This apprentice named Oscar offended a powerful person in the town. I suspect that this person made a move, causing the submission to be rejected without even reading it!"


    "That means it was indeed rejected?"


    "That''s right!"


    "Great! God help me, God help me!" Lan Feng laughed, "This submission is more than enough to be selected for "Wizard Weekly". Now it has been rejected by the agency, so I will submit "Five Elements". This is a classic of the five elements of magic, and it is more appropriate to be selected for "Five Elements"!"


    There are many types of academic journals. "Five Elements" and "Warlock" are different series. "Warlock" is the official journal of the Warlock Guild. Each branch is responsible for a region, with great influence and the widest coverage. "Five Elements" is second only to "Warlock". It is published by the College Alliance in the North. The College Alliance includes two or three hundred Warlock Colleges. It is also a huge organization for the study of magic, especially in the five elements of magic, and has considerable authority.


    There is another reason why Zhao Pu chose the Five Elements. Zhao Pu is an honorary professor of the College Alliance, the vice president of the Baicheng Warlock College, and the editor-in-chief of the "Five Elements" journal in Baicheng.


    "I will give you three days. No matter what method you use, no matter how much money you spend, you must find this person for me!"


    "Yes!"


    There are too many organizations for the study of magic, and the competition is very fierce, especially the competition for talents. This is a rare genius, and he must be won over no matter what. If he is discovered and won over by the Warlock Guild, the Tower of Sages, or other large warlock organizations and forces, it will be a great loss!


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    The long dark night is about to pass.


    Alice regained consciousness and slowly opened her eyes. The light was a bit dazzling. It took a while for her to get used to it. There was a person sitting next to her.


    "Awake?"If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Alice sat up, "Master, what''s wrong with you? It''s strange, why is your whole body sticky? Ah, what kind of dirty stuff is this!"


    Oscar stayed up all night to watch over Alice. His face was a little haggard, but seeing that Alice had no discomfort except a little weakness, he was finally completely relieved.


    "You fainted!"


    "Fainted?" Alice couldn''t remember anything and suddenly frowned, "Did Alice''s strange illness happen again?"


    "Don''t worry, you are very healthy. You probably fainted because you were too tired. Don''t run around these days. Stay in the hotel and rest. Got it?"


    "I''m sorry, Alice has troubled you again!"


    "What are you talking about!" Oscar picked up a bag beside the bed and took out a red fruit. "You must be hungry. Here are some fruits and cakes. I''ll feed you."


    Alice sat up straight in panic, "No, I''m a servant. How can I let the young master... feed you."


    "Don''t say such things again, I will be unhappy! Remember, you are not a servant!" Oscar said, peeling the fruit, cutting it into small pieces and feeding it to her. Alice opened her mouth and ate it bite by bite. Her eyes were red and she couldn''t help crying again. The taste of the roma fruit was a bit sour, but Alice felt sweet to her heart, as if it had been soaked in honey.


    Alice washed the dirt off her body after eating, and she felt much better immediately.


    It was dawn.


    The chances of being accepted for the submission were low, so Oscar had to make money from other aspects. His head was full of knowledge, and knowledge was money. As long as he found the right channel, he would not be afraid of not making money. So how to start? Knowledge of magic, various spells, potions, alchemy, talismans... Oscar has a lot of knowledge in any field, not only the research of Oscar the magician himself, but also the wisdom of countless sages and great powers in the past 15,000 years.


    The potion formula and talisman making method are good.


    However, the town is too small and there is no suitable submission office. It is not safe to sell to pharmacy and talisman shop.


    Because the formula is not like a spell blueprint, the spell can only provide a template. After the other party verifies and pays, the spell is handed over, and the potion formula and talisman making method are taken out. If the other party cheats after getting it, Oscar will have no way to deal with it. Besides, with Du Feng watching him, it is difficult to make any moves.


    Oscar didn''t want to think about it for the time being.


    It was almost dawn, Oscar was not going to sleep, and closed his eyes for a while.


    "Alice, turn on the radio."


    "Okay!"


    Alice turned on the radio.


    "Zizzi!"


    "... Hello everyone, welcome to listen to Baicheng Radio, I am the host Xiao Moer..."


    "Thirty minutes ago, the city lord announced that he would launch another cleanup of the Black Canyon. This time, 8,000 black armored soldiers were dispatched, and elite snow wolf mercenaries, ice sculpture mercenaries, and hound mercenaries were hired at the same time. Strong warriors were recruited at a high price, and the recruitment price was... After two cleanups in Baicheng, the results were not ideal. This time it was very sudden. Most of the citizens thought that the city lord was not well prepared and was not optimistic about this action. However, the city lord was full of confidence..."


    Oscar was bored and listened to the radio to kill time. The radio station covered a very small area. Generally, there was only one radio station in a city, which covered the surrounding villages and towns at most. Baisong Town was under the jurisdiction of Baicheng, so it could listen to Baicheng Radio.


    "Scorpion tail beast!"


    Wasn''t the young warlock I met yesterday conducting a research experiment on the scorpion tail beast''s venom? I wonder if he listened to my advice.


    The radio station continued to play.


    The radio station didn''t have any entertainment programs, mainly broadcasting local news, or advertisements for soliciting articles and recruiting.


    Oscar listened and felt a little sleepy unconsciously.


    "...In the past two weeks, there have been sudden incidents in various places, demons are rampant, monsters are rampant, a large amount of land has been lost, and the orcs in the north are active and plundering villages and towns in the south. Now more than 4 million people in the Silver Snow Region are suffering from famine. This winter is unusually cold, and the grain harvest is not expected to be ideal, and it may spread further!"


    "The Silver Snow Lord has issued a bounty announcement to find a good way to increase grain production. The current prize pool has accumulated to 1031 gold coins. In addition to the official high attention, charities in the Silver Snow Region have donated to increase the prize, hoping to find a good way to solve the famine and avoid the outbreak of the great famine. It is reported that the Warlock Guild, the Tower of Sages, the Life Research Institute... Many well-known warlock organizations are responding and forming research teams..."


    "The Lord said that the bounty is not limited to warlock organizations. Anyone can participate. As long as they provide a good way to increase grain production, they will have the opportunity to share the prize pool!"


    "..."


    Oscar''s sleepiness disappeared and he opened his eyes suddenly, "This is good!"


    In Alice''s surprised eyes, Oscar jumped up and took out a pen and paper to write. There are too many ways to increase grain production. This time, we will send a letter directly to the lord. Even if Du Feng has great ability, he will not be able to stop it.


    The bonus is as high as more than a thousand gold coins, not silver coins, not copper coins, but gold coins!


    Even if it is 1%!


    That is a huge sum of money that is enough to live comfortably!


    Oscar wrote a paper titled "Synthesis and Breeding of Super Cold-Resistant Rye"


    Rye is a common crop in cold areas. It is not only a staple food, but also can be used to brew rye wine. If it encounters extreme cold invasion, destruction by monsters, rampage of demons, or energy disorder, rye will reduce or even have no production.


    Ordinary rye can only be sown in spring, while super cold-resistant varieties are powerful and can be produced in any season, but the yield is different. Among them, the spring sowing yield is the best, about 125-150% of ordinary rye, with super strong survival ability and low land requirements. It is a very good high-cold crop!


    This technology did not appear until more than 3,000 years later.


    At that time, super cold-resistant rye caused a series of impacts, allowing the high-cold areas to get rid of food problems and consolidate the strength of the human race in the border areas. Soon, super cold-resistant rye flowed into the Orc Highlands, allowing the Orcs to imitate and plant it, which reduced the number of invasions to the south and stabilized the northern situation to a certain extent!


    This is a technology that is worth a lot of money, which benefits the people and will benefit future generations!


    This improved technology is also very backward for the period of Oscar, the divine magician. Oscar can completely come up with better magic improvement technology, but you have to eat one bite at a time. If you send out something too scary, it may attract the attention of some forces on the continent.


    Therefore, Oscar tried hard to search his memory and find the worst improvement plan!


    Even so, super cold-resistant rye is a good invention in this era!


    At least it is more than enough to earn bonuses!


    There is no hope for spell submission!


    I can only find another way to make money!


    Oscar wrote three pieces of parchment, folded them, put them in an envelope, and sealed them with wax.


    "Master, where are you going?"


    "I''m going out for a while and will be back soon! Have a good rest!"


    Alice saw Oscar in a hurry and couldn''t help but feel strange. The master has been doing some strange things recently. Alice thought of the money she owed to the casino. So many days have passed, and the interest is compounded. I''m afraid it will get more and more.


    This won''t do!


    I must find a job, otherwise I can''t even afford to stay in a hotel.


    Alice made a decision secretly.


    Oscar found the one-eyed man and handed him the envelope. "How many days will it take to send this letter to Snow City?"


    "What? To Snow City..." The one-eyed man thought for a while and said, "For an expedited letter, 7 days would be enough, but the Black Canyon outside White City has recently been occupied by a group of scorpion-tailed beasts, and transportation would be very dangerous. It would take more than one or two times longer to take a detour from White City."


    "Okay, help me send it out!"


    It costs an expensive silver coin to send a letter to Snow City. The one-eyed man did not refuse and simply agreed. Then he asked, "All the materials you mentioned have been collected. When can we start treatment?"


    The one-eyed man''s eager and positive eyes!


    Oscar nodded and said, "Anytime, I owe you money, all of it as treatment fees!"


    The one-eyed man stared and said, "Fuck, is my leg worth only a few dozen silver coins? As long as you can restore my leg, you can set any price!"

 Chapter 9 Pub Clash

    One-Eye is 53 years old this year, with 37 years of mercenary experience!


    Therefore, although he retired to the second line, his reputation has not diminished. If he can cure One-Eye''s disability, all the Snow Wolf mercenaries in the town will protect Oscar, and the small families will not have to be afraid.


    One-Eye arranged for someone to send an expedited letter.


    If this letter is sent to the lord, the bonus will most likely not be missed!


    "Okay, start the treatment now!"


    Oscar kept his word and wrote down two recipes.


    When One-Eye received the recipe, he was so excited that he trembled. The boy was so young, and I don''t know which master he learned potions from. He actually wrote the recipe to others casually. If his teacher knew, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood!


    Of course, One-Eye didn''t know.


    Oscar didn''t like this recipe at all.


    Because 15,000 years later, this recipe is almost the same as a shitty plaster. The pharmacy of that era was developed. If you pick up a pharmacy book on the street stall, there are hundreds of similar recipes, which is really cheap.


    In the modern era, it is indeed a priceless treasure.


    The one-eyed man held the paper with the formula written on it, but his hands still trembled, and he stuttered, "This... what is the name of this formula? Can it cure disability?"


    "This [Bone Revitalizing Ointment] can activate necrotic bones and allow them to grow again. It can cure mild disability, but it is powerless if special energy causes damage or severe disability." Oscar then introduced another formula, "This one is [Frost Grass Potion], which is used to remove the fire poison in the body. You were injured by a fire demon, and stubborn fire poison remains. If the fire poison is not removed, the bone revitalizing ointment is useless."


    Earn two more formulas!


    The one-eyed man wanted to hug Oscar and kiss him!


    Arrange to refine the medicine quickly!


    Under Oscar''s instructions, the medicine was taken orally and the ointment was applied.


    The one-eyed man began to wait for the effect. At this moment, his heart was in turmoil, almost more nervous than the first time he went to bed with a woman!


    For a whole morning.


    The one-eyed man felt the changes bit by bit.


    The numb muscles of this leg that had been disabled for many years gradually regained their senses, and the bones no longer hurt or burned!


    It worked!


    Tears welled up in the eyes of the one-eyed man!


    "It works!"


    "It really works!"


    "My legs can recover!"


    "Damn, they can recover!"


    "Hahaha!"


    The one-eyed man had been yelling all morning.


    "Stop yelling! Remember to take the medicine on time, and you can throw away the crutches in 7 days, and basically recover in 15 days! Of course, you have been disabled for too long, your muscles have atrophied a little, and you are old, so you may not be able to recover to your prime."


    "As long as I can throw away the damn crutches, I will be satisfied!" The one-eyed man laughed and immediately put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Boy, from now on in this town, you are a brother of the Snow Wolf Mercenary! Let''s go! Let''s have a meal in the tavern! Let''s talk about the Snow Wolf Mercenary''s specially hired pharmacist!"


    Eat?


    Oscar was of course not polite!


    He hadn''t eaten for a day and a night!


    Oscar brought Alice to the Snow Wolf Tavern, which is naturally also a Snow Wolf mercenary business, and the main customers are mercenaries. Therefore, the whole tavern is full of smoke, tobacco, alcohol, and sweat.


    Tobacco, wine, women.


    Almost all of the mercenary life!


    Both floors are full, and the business is very good!


    Now is not the peak period for missions, and the mercenaries come here to drink when they have nothing to do.


    Oscar looked over and saw the mercenaries sitting inside wearing leather armor, with broadswords and long knives placed next to the table, full of wine bottles and barbecue, and all of them behaved rudely and unruly, and flirted with the waitresses when they had nothing to do, causing a burst of laughter.


    "Hey, boss One-Eye, how come you have time to come?" A coquettish middle-aged beauty came over with her hips twisted, threw a coquettish look, and her eyes fell on the two of them, "Who are the two little guys, your illegitimate children outside?"


    "I don''t have any illegitimate children for the time being! But I don''t mind having one with you!" One-Eye smiled and touched the beautiful woman''s hips, "I''m happy today, roast goose, snow fish soup, roast lamb, and a few more good dishes, top-quality beer! Whatever the little guy wants to eat, just serve it!"


    The three sat down.


    The mercenaries talked about it.


    The mercenaries spread the news. One-Eye shouted in the hotel all morning, and the news that the disability was cured had almost spread!


    Now everyone knows that Oscar looks young, but he is actually an incredible pharmacist!


    Without waiting for the dishes to be served, One-Eye took out a scroll and spread it on the table, and said impatiently: "The dishes are not served yet, let''s talk about business first! About the specially hired pharmacist!"


    Alice was very surprised.


    Is the young master really going to be a pharmacist?


    How much is the salary?


    Is it enough to pay back the money?


    "No beating around the bush, 30 silver coins for the basic monthly salary!"This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    30 silver coins!


    30,000 copper coins!


    This is the basic monthly salary!


    Alice suspected that she had heard it wrong, this is higher than the income of a therapist!


    Oscar didn''t care, "Just name your price."


    "Ahem..." One-Eye coughed a few times, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Specially hired pharmacists are hired from outside after all. Are you considering officially joining the mercenaries? As long as you are willing to join the mercenaries, I will double your price. Plus mercenary subsidies and benefits!"


    The Snow Wolf mercenaries stopped making noise and pricked up their ears to listen.


    This is related to the development of the group. If the one-eyed boss can get a powerful pharmacist, the entire mercenary group will benefit!


    One-Eye continued, "The Snow Wolf Mercenary Group is a famous mercenary group in the Northern Alliance, and the benefits are excellent. If you do well, you can retire like me, manage the industry, and become a boss..."


    "Okay, I''m not interested in this!"


    Oscar directly rejected One-Eye.


    The mercenaries were anxious.


    One-Eye was even more anxious, and he slammed the table and glared, "Are you stupid? As long as you join the Snow Wolf Mercenaries, there are good brothers all over the world, and everyone can take care of each other! What''s wrong with having more brothers? Otherwise... sign for a year first?"


    Take care?


    Oscar looked around at the tough mercenaries around him, many of whom were formal warriors, with extraordinary skills and experienced in hundreds of battles. Oscar was too weak and really needed to be taken care of, otherwise he would be afraid to publish a paper. He thought about it again and again, nodded and said, "I will sign for one year first, with one condition, I want freedom, you can''t restrict me!"


    "That''s no problem!"


    One-Eye breathed a sigh of relief, at least within a year, he was not afraid that Oscar would be poached by other forces!


    The basic monthly salary doubles, plus subsidies!


    Mutual contract signed.


    The contract is established!


    "I''ll take it as a backup, and go to the mercenary guild to handle the formalities!" The one-eyed man stood up in a hurry, fearing that the night would be long and dreamy, "I''ll be back in 10 minutes, eat and drink first!"


    After saying that, he hurried away!


    A bald mercenary stood up with a laugh, holding a glass of ginkgo wine in his hand: "Everyone, welcome the new brother to join us!"


    "Welcome!"


    "Welcome!"


    "We are members of the same group. If anyone messes with you in the future, tell me Tie Niu!" A bald strong man stood up, with a huge axe under his feet, "I''ll bring my brothers to help you chop him!"


    The mercenary nicknamed Tie Niu is at least 1.9 meters tall, three big and five thick, with a face full of flesh. He is a formal warrior with very good strength!


    Like warlocks, warriors are divided into different levels: apprentice, warrior, martial artist, great martial artist, earth martial artist, heaven martial artist, magic martial artist, holy martial artist, immortal martial artist, and divine martial artist.


    Oscar stood up and thanked everyone.


    For mercenaries, the first quality is credibility!


    The Snow Wolf Mercenaries are an old mercenary group, so the quality assessment is strict. The mercenaries under their command are all people with a clean background. Most mercenaries are born in the lower class and are born and die all day long. Therefore, they are generally generous and enthusiastic. Although they are a little rude, they are all easy to get along with.


    Everyone is very happy, and the atmosphere in the tavern is very lively.


    The table is full of rich food. The mercenary chef''s barbecue skills are really good. The outside is crispy and the inside is tender, and the meat is delicious. Oscar ate a few large pieces of mutton and drank a few glasses of beer. In an instant, he felt that his fatigue was swept away and his whole body was full of strength.


    Alice especially likes to eat fish, and roast goose tastes good. She is happy for Oscar. She didn''t expect that the young master who used to do nothing turned out to be a talented person and found a high-income job so quickly!


    A meal and a full meal!


    Alice wiped her mouth and said happily, "Young master, I also want to find a job!"


    Oscar said, "It''s simple. I''ll say hello to One-Eye, and you go to work at the Snow Wolf Material Store and learn more about herbs. I will start to teach you some knowledge of magic. You are not old, so lay a good foundation first, and then learn spells!"


    "Okay!" Alice was full of joy, "I will listen to the young master''s arrangements!"


    Bang!


    Suddenly, the door of the tavern was opened.


    A large group of people rushed in, and the leader was none other than Du Feng!


    Alice was scared and her face turned pale.


    Du Feng saw Oscar''s table full of delicious food and snorted coldly, "Master Mu is really generous. He has money to eat and drink. It''s time to pay back the money he owes! Today is the deadline. If you don''t pay it back, we will have to follow the rules!"


    Behind Du Feng, there were two black-clad warriors, all of whom were family warriors, each with extraordinary strength.


    The tavern fell silent, and the mercenaries all cast unfriendly eyes.


    Du Feng didn''t notice.


    Alice quickly stood up and argued, "I''ve seen the IOU, and the deadline has clearly not arrived!"


    Tie Niu couldn''t sit still anymore, and stood up in a flash, "There''s trouble in the Snow Wolf territory! Are you fucking afraid of dying?"


    "What does the casino debt collection have to do with mercenaries? If you don''t want to cause trouble, just sit still!" Du Feng didn''t know that Oscar had joined the Snow Wolf Mercenaries, and stared at Oscar and yelled, "Either pay the money or leave your hand!"


    The mercenaries were about to explode.


    Suddenly, an old voice came from outside: "I wonder how much money this little brother owes your family?"


    An old man and a young man walked in from outside the tavern, both dressed as sorcerers, and the one who spoke was Zhao Pu.


    "It''s you again!" Du Feng saw Lan Feng and gnashed his teeth and said in hatred: "Who are you?"


    "I am Lan Feng from Baicheng!" Lan Feng briefly introduced himself, and then respectfully introduced the old man next to him: "This is my teacher, Zhao Pu from Baicheng!"


    The Lan family in Baicheng?


    The Lan family is the first family in Baicheng, and it is not comparable to the Du family.


    Zhao Pu?


    Zhao Pu sounds so familiar... Could it be!


    The first pharmacist Zhao Pu!


    Du Feng was almost scared to death!


    Zhao Pu has an extraordinary status in Baicheng, and his attainments in the field of five elements magic are extremely high. He has outstanding achievements in pharmacy, and the city lord has to give him face. Such a big man coming to the town should cause a sensation, and the mayor must personally welcome him!


    Why did he appear here?


    This... can''t be a fake!


    Du Feng''s forehead was sweating, but he said confidently: "We are a legal gambling house. This is a legal debt dispute. Why do you care?"


    Zhao Pu gave Lan Feng a look.


    Lan Feng flicked his fingers and threw a golden coin at Du Feng''s feet, "Although I don''t know how much I owe you, I think it''s enough! Get out!"


    Gold coin!


    The mercenaries were shocked!


    1 gold is equivalent to 1 million coppers, which is an astronomical figure for ordinary people!


    The young man threw out 1 gold coin without even blinking.


    Undoubtedly, this must be the descendant of the Baicheng Lan family, and the old man must be the famous Baicheng Zhao Pu!


    This kind of person is not to be messed with!


    Du Feng didn''t expect Oscar to find such a strong two people to support him. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Okay, very good, you are lucky today!"


    I miscalculated today, but it doesn''t matter. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!


    Another eerie voice rang out in the tavern, "You little bastard, you bully me, do you think you can just walk away? You don''t take the Snow Wolf Mercenaries seriously!"


    One-Eye limped out with a metal crutch, wearing a black eye mask and ugly scars all over his face, just like a standard villain!


    Du Feng shuddered!


    Isn''t this the old mercenary nicknamed "One-Eyed Demon"?


    He is the leader of the local mercenaries. Although he is missing a leg, no one dares to mess with him in Baisong Town.


    How could One-Eye be mixed up with Oscar!


    "I..."


    Du Feng didn''t speak.


    One-Eye raised the metal crutch and pointed, saying word by word, "Hit me!"


    The mercenary stood up in a flash.


    Du Feng''s face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Do you know who I am?"


    The two bodyguards stretched out their hands to draw their guns!


    Swish!


    "Ah!"


    One-Eye''s speed was too fast!


    The two bodyguards just touched the pistols and before they could pull them out, they immediately screamed and each of them was pierced through the palm by an iron chopstick.


    Zhao Pu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The old mercenary is quite capable!"


    Although the one-eyed man had been disabled for several years, his skills had not declined too much. The strong true energy poured into the chopsticks, and even rocks could be pierced!


    There was a loud noise.


    The mercenary flipped the table and stood up.


    Tie Niu rushed over like a wild bull and knocked Du Feng to the ground with one punch. Two of his teeth were knocked out, and all the bodyguards were knocked down.


    Dozens of mercenaries took turns to step on him.


    The mercenaries didn''t use any light or heavy hands. Du Feng was covered in blood and had an unknown number of broken bones.


    "You''ve made the tavern dirty, get out!"


    Tie Niu held one of Du Feng''s legs, like dragging a dead dog, and walked to the street outside the tavern. He folded up his body and stuffed it into a trash can, then turned the trash can sideways, kicked it with one foot, and laughed at the trash can rolling away.


    "Hahahaha!"


    "You''re just a piece of trash! You still want to touch the Snow Wolf!"


    "You deserve it! Get out!"


    "See who dares to mess with the Snow Wolf mercenaries!"


    The mercenaries were very happy and laughed.


    Oscar sat there without moving from beginning to end.


    Alice''s eyes were wide open, and she could stuff an apple into her mouth.


    Are these people all helping the young master?

 Chapter 10 Selling Spells

    Du Feng was beaten half to death.


    The mercenaries had no worries at all!


    In this chaotic world, fists are the hard truth. The Snow Wolf Mercenaries are very powerful, and the mayor dare not intervene easily!


    Lan Feng walked towards Oscar: "We meet again!"


    "You are..."


    One-eyed man walked to the side with a cane, put his hands on the cane, stared at Zhao Pu with a bad look, and said coldly, "Old Zhao! Why don''t you stay in Baicheng and come to the town? The Snow Wolf Tavern is too dirty and too small, and I''m afraid it will neglect a person of your status!"


    Lan Feng was young and energetic: "Cripple, can you speak!"


    "I hate people calling me a cripple the most!" One-eyed''s eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent, "No one here has ever dared to call me a cripple!"


    "Lan Feng, don''t be rude! One-eyed man should not be so petty with young people. Oscar helped me a lot, and we are here to thank you!"


    Oscar is much younger than Zhao Pu imagined!


    Did he really invent that perfect and classic five-element spell?


    "I''m developing an antidote for the scorpion-tailed beast poison. Thanks to my little brother''s help, I succeeded!"


    Oscar suddenly realized what he said. One-Eye had heard about the large group of scorpion-tailed beasts entrenched outside the White City, but he didn''t expect that the antidote had been developed. No wonder the Lord of the White City suddenly announced another clearing operation.


    Oscar also contributed to the antidote for the scorpion-tailed beast?


    How many secrets does this kid have?


    Not good!


    One-Eye suddenly realized!


    He understood what Zhao Laowu was up to!


    Zhao Pu sat down and asked kindly, "It''s really clever to use corpse grass to restrain the poison of scorpion tail beast. How did you come up with this idea?"


    Oscar explained the medicinal properties of corpse grass, and then said casually, "Nothing in the world is absolute, just different ways of using it. Let alone corpse grass, even the most poisonous thing in the world can be used to save people as long as the right method is used."


    Zhao Pu had some doubts at first, but after listening to Oscar''s interpretation, his doubts were immediately swept away. Oscar''s understanding of the properties and effects of corpse grass was something that even Zhao Pu didn''t know.


    Although this person is young, he is definitely a real talent!


    "You are so young, but your insights are unfathomable. You are really a young man to be feared!" Zhao Pu was so excited that he couldn''t wait to recruit this person. "You grew up in Baisong Town, so you may not know me very well. Let me introduce myself first. I am..."


    "Enough, you bastard!" One-Eye was a little annoyed. "If you come to the tavern to drink, I welcome you. If you want to poach me, humph!"


    All the mercenaries stood up.


    Zhao Pu''s expression changed drastically. "You...you joined the mercenaries?"


    "Yes!"


    "Do you know what mercenaries do!"


    Zhao Pu glared at One-Eye!


    One-Eye refused to give in, "The contract has been signed, what else do you want?"


    "Young friend Oscar is talented, and being a mercenary is a waste of talent!" Zhao Pu blew his beard and glared, ignoring the angry eyes of the mercenaries, and immediately said to Oscar: "All the liquidated damages will be borne by me. Go to Baicheng, I guarantee that you can get the best learning and research environment!"


    "Damn it!"


    "The old dog is too much!" One-Eye was furious, tore his face on the spot, and roared: "Brothers, chop him up!"


    "This man, Zhao Pu is determined! Who dares to stop me!"


    Zhao Pu released a powerful aura.


    Swish!


    Dozens of fierce mercenaries all drew their weapons. These were all guys who licked blood on the tip of the knife, and each of them was fierce. It would be fine if it was normal, but once they entered the combat state, the fierce murderous aura was enough to scare the timid people to pee their pants.


    One-Eye said coldly: "I know you, old man, have strong magic power! But the Snow Wolf Mercenaries have never been afraid of anyone!"


    The situation was originally good.


    Suddenly, the situation became tense!


    Oscar felt puzzled!


    Zhao Pu is a well-known Five Elements Warlock in Baicheng. His realm is not comparable to any mercenary present, and One-Eye is no exception. If they really start fighting, it will be unimaginable. One spell can blow through the tavern.


    Mercenaries are not easy to mess with. They are all experienced. Warlocks are most afraid of being approached by warriors. The space in the tavern is small, and there are masters like One-Eye. As long as he is interrupted before the spell is completed, no matter how strong his magic power is, it will be useless!


    Facing the wolf-like mercenaries, Lan Feng couldn''t help but retreat.


    It''s not that he doesn''t have confidence in the teacher.


    The teacher has been studying herbs and has no time to prepare spell templates recently. In addition, he was in a hurry to go out just now, so he only prepared a few defensive spells for self-defense, and didn''t prepare many offensive spells. Even if a warlock has ten times the destructive power of a warrior of the same level, he cannot cast spells without a template. It is too late to prepare for the battle!Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    Oscar quickly stood up to persuade them to stop fighting, "I just signed the mercenary contract. Uncle One-Eye has done me a favor. It is not right to break his promise. I have to accept Mr. Zhao''s kindness. Besides, I have no intention of leaving Baisong Town for the time being. I just want to be a pharmacist in the town. I have a stable income and can concentrate on studying without delay!"


    "You..."


    "Old man! You should give up this time!"


    Zhao Pu clenched his fists and finally sighed, "Mercenaries are not the destination of warlocks. If you want to get more research resources and learning opportunities, you still have to join a good warlock organization!"


    Oscar nodded and said, "I will consider it later!"


    Zhao Pu glared at the one-eyed man: "Lucky you!"


    The one-eyed man laughed, and the gunpowder smell gradually subsided. The mercenaries sat back and drank and ate meat.


    "We were a step late, and the mercenaries snatched it. What a big loss!" Zhao Pu was very upset that he didn''t take Oscar away. "However, I have another matter that I need to discuss with you."


    One-eyed man was unhappy again, "Why are you so fussy!"


    A roll of parchment was opened on the table.


    Alice screamed, "Hey, isn''t this the drawing that the young master wrote yesterday? How come it is in the hands of the old man!"


    Zhao Pu and Lan Feng were shocked!


    There''s no mistake!


    This is indeed Oscar''s work!


    Lan Feng told the story, "This is what happened. These five spells are the most classic basic spells I have ever seen. The Li family''s shabby shop doesn''t accept them, so why don''t you give them to us?"


    Oscar was very generous, "You can take them."


    Oscar didn''t take it seriously at all.


    Lan Feng widened his eyes. This is too generous!


    Money is a small matter.


    Lan Feng doesn''t care.


    The key is reputation!


    As long as the five spells are announced, they will definitely become famous!


    Honor and reputation, this is what many warlocks dream of!


    Zhao Pu took out a contract, "Generally speaking, the buyout price of a level 1 spell is about 50 silver to 200 silver. These spells are classics and cannot be sold at a common sense price. We can buy one spell for 400 silver!"


    Alice was stunned.


    So much!


    A spell sold for 400 silver is equivalent to 400,000 coppers, which can buy 400,000 steamed buns! Five spells are... 2 gold coins. Alice has never touched gold coins since she was a child!


    Oscar just wanted to make a few dozen or a hundred silver coins, as long as he could pay off his debts. Unexpectedly, it was worth so much money. What about level 2, level 3, level 4... level 9, forbidden spells? It is no exaggeration to say that Oscar is enough to become the top tycoon on the continent just by selling spells!


    Spells are just the tip of Oscar''s iceberg.


    "I plan to grant the copyright of these five spells to the Academy Alliance, and they will also be eligible to publish in the Five Elements Weekly. The value created in the end will be 1% of your share."


    "Five Elements Journal?"


    The one-eyed man''s expression became serious. Although he was a rough man, he also knew the influence of the Five Elements Journal in the North. Oscar was very good at potion, but he didn''t expect that he had such a high level of attainment in the Five Elements and could be selected by the best academic journal!


    This kid is really unfathomable!


    Warlock organizations collect spells or study spells. In addition to studying the spells themselves, they also have a certain commercial name.


    Zhao Pu belongs to the Academy Alliance, which has a great influence. Almost all the well-known colleges in the North are members of this organization. There are hundreds of warlock colleges in total.


    When the Academy Alliance obtains new spells, it will eventually distribute the spells to various colleges through its own platform advantages. College students can only learn theory in the college. If they want to learn the spell, they must pay extra fees. This is a very important way for the Academy Alliance to make profits.


    There are generally more than a thousand warlock students!


    Learning spells is expensive. The cost of a level 1 spell is 500 coppers. As long as the spell is not too bad, there are hundreds of thousands of students and tens of thousands of learners, and the income is as high as several thousand silvers. The value can be continuously created with batches of students.


    After deducting the operating and distribution costs, 50% belongs to the local colleges and 50% is handed over to the alliance. The alliance will spend about 10% of the profit as a reward to the provider.


    In addition to the distribution learning platform, the college alliance has several best-selling journals, among which the "Five Elements" journal is the leader. The sales volume of "Five Elements" is second only to the "Warlock" series of journals. It has a certain authority in the warlock industry, so the promotion is very strong, which will naturally attract a large number of warlocks to learn, so it is another major source of income!


    In fact, the price of 400 silver is far higher than the market price, and it is more than enough to buy out!


    Zhao Pu added another 1% of the profit to Oscar, which is undoubtedly an extra benefit.


    Zhao Pu and Lan Feng were both not short of this little money. They saw Oscar''s potential and hoped for more opportunities for cooperation.


    Free money!


    Oscar had no reason to refuse. He signed the contract immediately and handed over the spell. Zhao Pu paid 2 gold coins on the spot.


    He was originally a poor man!


    He instantly became a wealthy man in the town!


    Oscar had 2 gold coins in his hand, and he felt much more at ease. He didn''t have to worry about running out of money in the short term.


    "We will start to focus on publicity in the next few days. As for the content of the spells, they will be published in the next issue of the "Five Elements" weekly. These spells will definitely cause a sensation in the Silver Snow Region! You will benefit from it and become a well-known sorcerer! But no matter how good the level 1 spell is, it is still a low-level spell. With your talent, you should achieve greater success! I hope you can stick to your original intention, not be arrogant or impatient, and the study of the art is endless!"


    "Thank you, Mr. Zhao!"


    When this old man knew that the person he was teaching was a great magician, he had to vomit three liters of blood.


    Oscar still politely accepted it humbly.


    Zhao Pu''s energy is not to be underestimated.


    It has only been two days.


    Baisong Town Daily, Baicheng Daily, Baicheng Radio, newspapers, magazines... all have related reports.


    It''s just a level 1 spell!


    Such a huge publicity and hype is really rare!


    Led by Baicheng''s "College Daily", several media outlets simultaneously disclosed that these spells were originally intended to be submitted to "Warlock", but were rejected without any suspense. They took the opportunity to attack the Warlock Guild, questioning that the guild did not respect newcomers and had hidden rules for accepting manuscripts.


    A stone stirs up a thousand waves!


    This caused a lot of criticism from low-level warlocks.


    There are many apprentices who have failed to submit their manuscripts for more than a dozen times in a row. They are very resentful and immediately demand an explanation.


    This was planned by Zhao Puyi. [College Alliance] and [Warlock Guild] are competitors. As a member of the College Alliance, how could Zhao Pu miss an opportunity to attack the opponent and weaken the other party''s reputation?


    The Warlock Guild did not dare to take it lightly and immediately came out to refute the rumor: "It emphasized the fairness and justice of the Warlock Guild, and that local agents cannot represent the guild. It also said that it had begun an investigation. If the incident is true, and there are agents who abuse their power for personal gain, they will be severely punished!"


    The Li family in Baisong Town was terrified and immediately issued a statement: "This matter is purely fabricated and does not exist at all!"


    The Warlock Guild fought back against the Academy Alliance in the media.


    "Warlock Daily": "The Academy Alliance maliciously defamed the guild, and their character is extremely bad!"


    "City Magazine": "Zhao Pu, a famous warlock in Baicheng, risked destroying his own city wall to promote newcomers!"


    "Du Family Newspaper" was even more indignant and accused: "The submission was from an apprentice. What good magic can an apprentice have? The Academy Alliance exaggerated the description and deliberately provoked. They betrayed the principles of the warlock organization and used all means to promote malicious hype. What qualifications do they have to accuse the Warlock Guild?"


    ...


    No one expected that Zhao Pu, who has always been steady, would go to the battle shirtless for this matter and personally held a media conference. For a full hour, he cursed the Warlock Guild from beginning to end, without repeating a word.


    The Warlock Guild was naturally furious!


    Immediately, a warlock with a reputation not inferior to Zhao Pu appeared and also held a press conference to fight back.


    Two authoritative warlock organizations and several famous warlocks, who were exchanging verbal attacks, undoubtedly attracted more attention. The incident even spread beyond White City, and some newspapers and magazines in several surrounding cities reported it, making people talk about it.


    The more fierce the quarrel, the more attention it received.


    These five strange level 1 spells aroused the curiosity of countless people.


    It is estimated that on the day of release, it will definitely make the headlines of major publications, newspapers, and magazines!

 Chapter 11 Sensation in White City

    The newspapers and magazines are buzzing with news recently


    Oscar doesn''t care at all, because he prefers to pursue strength and knowledge compared to money and fame. Oscar is not lacking in knowledge, but his strength is too weak!


    Recently, he has been busy practicing.


    The source of a warlock''s mana is the mana vortex in the spiritual world, which is composed of a series of magic arms. The number of arms represents the level of the warlock. Oscar''s magic vortex has only 3 arms, so he is a 3-ring warlock.


    1-10 rings are apprentices.


    11-20 rings are warlocks.


    ¡­


    After 100 rings, it is a divine magician.


    It took only a few days to rise from 2 rings to 3 rings, which is extremely fast. Oscar''s talent will be a once-in-a-century genius in 15,000 years, otherwise he will not be able to practice to the level of a 10-ring great divine magician.


    The talent of a warrior is determined by blood.


    The talent of a warlock depends on the magic soul.


    Oscar perfectly absorbed the young man''s magic soul without damaging his magic soul. The two combined to become more powerful, and with a lot of knowledge and experience as support, it was easy to do, and the improvement process was not tortuous.


    However, every ten rings will encounter a bottleneck. If you can cross the bottleneck, your mana will increase several times. There is only one level difference between a 1st ring magician and a 10th ring apprentice. The former''s mana is at least five or six times that of the latter. The higher the realm, the greater the gap, and of course the higher the difficulty of cultivation.


    At this time, Alice was sitting on the bench.


    Holding yesterday''s newspaper in both hands, reading it with relish.


    This newspaper has been read more than 10 times. Other contents are not interesting. Only the verbal cannons of the two major magician forces are never boring. Because the quarrel is so fierce, it''s all because of the young master!


    The young master is so powerful!


    I''m so proud of him!


    Over and over again.


    Watching.


    Alice giggled, because her little vanity was unprecedentedly satisfied!


    "What are you laughing at?"


    Oscar walked out.


    Alice put away the newspaper, puffed up her chest, and said in a silver bell-like voice, "The spells written by the young master are all over the place." As she said that, she picked up a broom from the corner and said, "I''ll go clean the room."


    Alice left a diligent back, shaking her round and plump buttocks, which was somewhat tempting.


    The small room was filled with a strange fragrance, and some grass ash was scattered on the ground. There was a copper basin on the ground, and there were more grass ash in it. This was burned by meditation grass. Meditation grass can help enter the clear state. It is a must-have for warlocks to practice, but it is expensive, so warlocks are very expensive.


    Oscar saw the grass ash all over the ground, but in fact... meditation grass is not used in this way.


    Meditation grass is burned directly, and the breath released from it does help warlocks to practice, but it is more wasteful and will absorb harmful substances. In the long run, the physique of the warlock will deteriorate. If it is improved, not only will the effect be enhanced, but the cost will be reduced, so that the vast number of poor warlocks will benefit.


    When Mu Mu was thinking about making meditation incense.


    "Bang, bang, bang!"


    With a heavy and sharp footstep, One-Eye rushed to Oscar. As early as two days ago, One-Eye no longer needed crutches, and his leg disability had recovered. At this moment, he held a roll of newspaper in his hand and howled excitedly.


    "Smelly boy! You are in the limelight!"


    "Why?"


    One-Eye''s eyes widened, and he wanted to rush up and strangle Oscar to death, "These 5 spells caused a sensation in White City! You didn''t even know? Damn, such a big thing, you don''t take it seriously? I''m almost mad at you!"


    "It''s just a level 1 spell, it shouldn''t be that serious!"


    "See for yourself!"


    Oscar took the newspaper and was stunned.


    ...


    White City Warlock Academy.


    A beautiful woman hurried out, with exquisite features, wearing glasses, tall, plump, and red hair tied up, with a kind of mature beauty. Her name is Qin Yue. She is the school beauty of the Warlock Academy. After graduating from the academy, she continued to stay in the academy to teach. She is the youngest teacher in the history of the academy.


    "Teacher Qin, there is a concert today. I wonder if I can..."


    The elegant and handsome young man, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, with a sunny and charming smile on his face, was gracefully taking off his hat and waving.


    "Get out!"


    Qin Yue''s two tough words made the handsome man''s expression stiff instantly, as if frozen by the cold wind.


    "Teacher Qin, this ticket is very rare."


    "If you waste time and make me unable to buy "Five Elements", you will die!"If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    "Teacher Qin, Teacher Qin..."


    The handsome man watched the beauty go away, and the people around him seemed to hear the sound of heartbreak. More people were secretly happy. Is there anything different about this issue of "Five Elements"? Why did the beautiful Qin go so crazy? They couldn''t help but be interested.


    Two hours after the new issue of "Five Elements" Weekly was released, all major journal stores were sold out, so they had to reprint 30%.


    This kind of situation usually only occurs when a famous warlock publishes an article. This time it was caused by an apprentice who was not famous at all. There has been no similar incident in Baicheng in ten years.


    Qin Yue was one of the earliest followers.


    The Qin family is a business family. Baicheng is well-known and wealthy. Qin Yue has outstanding talent and material support, and got rid of her apprentice status early. She has improved 2 level 1 spells, invented 4 level 0 spells, and published academic papers in some journals. She is considered a well-known warlock.


    She had seen reports on related spells in magazines and newspapers a long time ago.


    [Rock Skin], [Iron Repair], these wonderful spell ideas are simply invincible!


    That day, Qin Yue was so excited that she didn''t sleep all night. When she saw in the newspaper that the alliance and the guild criticized each other and someone deliberately attacked the spells and inventors, Qin Yue couldn''t help but get angry.


    "God bless, some of these spells must be as good as advertised!"


    "Hit those guys in the face!"


    Qin Yue''s bookshelf is piled with hundreds of thick and heavy books, and more than a dozen types of journals such as "Warlock", "Five Elements", "Sage", "Magic", "Pharmacy", "Healer"... They are piled high. She bought every issue, and she is worthy of being a generation of magic fanatics.


    This issue of "Five Elements" uses a quarter of the space to record Oscar''s spells in detail.


    Qin Yue''s beautiful eyes are wide open, her face is flushed, and she is almost crazy.


    Her breathing is getting more and more rapid, and her towering chest keeps rising and falling.


    Every word and every symbol seems to have magic, making her ponder over and over again.


    "Wonderful!"


    "It''s really wonderful!"


    Qin Yue likes these three spells the most.


    [Iron Repair], which can restore cracked iron. When soldiers fight in the wild, damaged weapons can be repaired in time, which can reduce losses and maintain combat effectiveness!


    [Anesthetic Thorns], creates thorns with anesthetic effects, which can be used to make traps or trap enemies, and can also be used to anesthetize wounds and relieve pain when companions are injured.


    [Rock Skin], turns the skin into rock in a short period of time. This skill is of great significance to low-level warlocks and greatly enhances the warlock''s defensive ability.


    Of course, the other two are not bad either. The most valuable thing is that when the inventor wrote the principle, he explained it in a simple and concise way, with a lot of advanced knowledge, which has a huge enlightening effect. Qin Yue had several problems in the art of thinking for many days, and suddenly they were solved.


    Especially a level 2 spell that took two months and was conceived in his mind. It has been completed by 80%, but he still has no idea how to proceed.


    Now it is suddenly full of magic!


    "I love you so much!"


    "From today on, you are my idol!"


    Qin Yue screamed.


    If this sentence spreads in the academy, it must be a scene of jealousy!


    Qin Yue took out a piece of high-quality parchment, wrote down her thoughts first, and then wrote a few papers and sent them out later. They would definitely be published, and then she would go back and continue to challenge the spell that made her work so hard.


    She had an idea to visit Oscar in Baisong Town!


    There were several new level 1 spells every week.


    But if you add up all the newly developed level 1 spells in Baicheng in the past year, their influence is not as great as Oscar''s five spells. There is no way, Oscar''s spells are not only perfect to the point of no improvement, but also have advanced creativity and ideas, which are very inspiring even for mid- and high-level sorcerers.


    Baicheng was boiling.


    All major newspapers, magazines, and radio stations reported this matter crazily.


    College Newspaper: "Baicheng''s "Five Elements" magazine has been reprinted twice, and its sales have exceeded the "Warlock" of the same period by 5%! Baicheng Warlock College has opened a learning channel for related spells, and the scene is extremely popular!"


    Baicheng Daily, "This issue of "Five Elements" published 5 spells, and won the "perfect" evaluation of several famous warlocks! The Warlock Guild has begun to investigate the illegal behavior of the agent!"


    Baicheng Radio: "The apprentice became famous in one battle! Another genius warlock appeared in Baicheng!"


    Snow Wolf Newspaper: "The identity of the genius warlock was exposed. He is about 16 or 17 years old, living in Baisong Town, and is an official member of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries!"


    ...


    This time the Warlock Guild fell a big fall.


    The most unlucky is the Li family in Baisong Town. After investigation, the Li family has been unable to defend themselves. The Warlock Guild decisively cancelled the Li family''s agency qualification and replaced the publisher of "Warlock" in Baisong Town.


    The Li family holds the agency qualifications for six or seven types of journals, but the most important one is undoubtedly "Warlock". Because of a small matter, they lost the agency qualification they had paid a lot of money for. You can imagine how depressed they were.


    The Academy Alliance took the lead in opening the spell learning channel in Baicheng that day, with a unified price of 5 silver coins, which is quite expensive in the cost of learning level 1 spells. It takes a full 25 silver coins to learn 5 spells!


    10 people learn and you can earn 250 silver coins!


    100 people learn and you can earn 2,500 silver coins!


    The learning channels in other cities of the Academy Alliance are being opened one after another at this moment, and they will be available to other domains in the future. It is not an exaggeration to say that spells are making a fortune every day. Zhao Pu bought the spells, which is really worth it!


    It has only been 5 days.


    The Academy Alliance''s spell list is released.


    [Rock Skin] Paid learning has reached more than 800 times.


    [Anesthetic Thorns] Paid learning has reached more than 600 times.


    [Acid Water Ball], [Iron Repair], [Flame Spray] are stable at an average of around 550 times.


    A total of 3121 times, with a profit of 15605 silver coins, and a stable growth momentum.


    Although the publicity of the outer city is far less fierce than that of the white city, the spells themselves are of high quality and have also achieved remarkable results. Therefore, good news has been received one after another, which has excited the members of the Academy Alliance.


    Oscar''s seemingly small 1% share.


    It is not a small amount!


    It is settled every 30 days, and the money rolls in.


    The storm is not over.


    Oscar''s identity was exposed, and he was interviewed by reporters every day. Almost even the door was trampled. Fortunately, the Snow Wolf Mercenaries helped and finally blocked most of the reporters. Otherwise, Oscar would not be able to practice with peace of mind.


    The media continued to report.


    "Because of the impact of the gold-based level 1 spell [Iron Repair], the equipment maintenance and repair industry in Baicheng has fallen by 4 percentage points overall."


    "The beautiful warlock Qin Yue developed the level 2 water-based spell [Qin Yue''s Paralysis Water Ball], which is extremely practical and highly praised by the magic world. She won the White City Warlock Rising Star Award. The magic comes from Oscar''s [Anesthetic Thorns]."


    "Apprentice Oscar became a pharmacist in the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group and is currently the manager of the Snow Wolf Herbal Medicine Shop in Baisong Town!"


    "xx published an academic paper and thanked the apprentice warlock Oscar at the end."


    "Genius warlock Oscar is suspected to be the descendant of the Baicheng Mu family."


    "..."


    Oscar is known as a genius apprentice and has become famous in Baicheng.


    At this moment.


    In a room in Baisong Town.


    A tall middle-aged man sat by the bed, holding a newspaper in his hand, which was full of praise for Oscar, and he couldn''t help showing a gloomy look. A young man was sitting on the bed. It was Du Feng who was beaten by the mercenary and stuffed into the trash can. However, after being treated by the therapist, his injuries were basically recovered.


    "Father, I am unwilling! Help me to get revenge!"


    Duan slapped him.


    Du Feng was stunned and said angrily: "Why did you hit me!"


    Duan''s expression was gloomy: "What do you think?"


    Du Feng was silent for two seconds, and then he realized something and showed a hint of cruelty: "I understand, I will deal with him personally!"


    Duan said coldly: "Remember what I said?"


    "Be quick and cruel, make decisions after planning, and leave no room for maneuver!"


    "If you can''t solve this little trouble, you don''t have to enter the Du family again. I will treat you as a son who doesn''t have you!"


    Duan turned and left without any room for maneuver.


    On the wall, there is a hideous venomous snake totem, the family totem left by the ancestors of the Du family. This seems to be a warning to future generations to live like a venomous snake!

 Chapter 12 The Mystery of Zombies

    A storm caused by magic, which lasted for several days and caused a lot of trouble in the city, finally calmed down a little.


    The sky was gray and not bright, the snow was gray-blue, and the fine snowflakes were dancing in the cold wind. There was no one on the street, and the town was cold and quiet. It was sleeping in silence and had not woken up yet.


    Alice got up early, cooked a pot of porridge, lit the charcoal stove, opened the herbal medicine shop, and put the herbs on the table one by one.


    Oscar was the manager of the Snow Wolf Herbal Medicine Shop, and Alice was the deputy manager and assistant.


    This well-organized scene made Oscar very helpless: "It''s so early, how can there be business."


    "Although there are no customers, it''s better to prepare early!" Alice pulled Oscar to warm up by the fire and asked with concern: "How is the young master''s practice?"


    Oscar said casually: "Just barely, it''s going well, not far from the fourth ring."


    Upgraded by 2 levels in more than ten days!


    Alice had no idea!


    Otherwise, he would scream in fear!


    Countless apprentices with poor talents stagnate at the third or fourth ring throughout their lives, but Oscar crossed it in a few days!


    Oscar finished drinking the fish fillet porridge and felt warm all over.


    The cold wind blew the snow outside, but the shop was warm and cozy. The two of them roasted by the fire and quietly enjoyed a moment of peace.


    Alice could feel that there was a pair of dark eyes, reflecting the flickering firelight, bright and deep, staring at her silently.


    The little girl''s heartbeat accelerated, very unnatural, and soon her cheeks and snow-white neck were red. She said in a panic: "Master...what''s wrong?"


    Oscar smiled and said, "Little Alice has grown beautiful."


    "No way!"


    Alice was shy and innocent, and her head almost fell to her full chest.


    Oscar''s eyes were free of any distractions, calm and gentle, with a trace of imperceptible worry.


    Alice''s physique made people worry.


    Could such a kind and lovely girl have the legendary body of disaster?


    Oscar could fight back in his heyday, but now... maybe I''m overthinking it, the current characteristics are not enough to judge!


    Alice''s cotton jacket is old and torn, with patches all over it.


    Oscar frowned when he saw this, and said unhappily: "Alice, are you disobedient again!"


    "Ah, I..."


    Alice was at a loss, not knowing what she had done wrong.


    Oscar asked, "I gave you money to buy some nice clothes, why don''t you buy them?"


    Alice was stunned for a moment, blushing and said, "New clothes are too expensive, Alice can''t bear to spend... This one is pretty good, although it''s a little old, but it''s warm. It costs a lot of money for the young master to practice, I''ll save as much as I can."


    Oscar said with a smile, "How can I be short of that little money?"


    "Warlocks need to burn meditation grass to practice, consuming 1 or 2 taels of meditation grass every day. Alice has calculated that it costs five or six hundred silvers every year, and also needs to buy books, journals, and other things. The expenses are too high, so of course I''ll save as much as I can."


    "You are so silly and cute!"


    Alice scratched her head, a little embarrassed.


    "Let''s not talk about the money from the spell." Oscar took out a cloth bag from his arms, which contained several brown things. "Since we are talking about meditation grass, I will show you something that was newly developed two days ago, meditation incense!"


    Alice asked like a curious baby: "What is this?"


    "This is made of meditation grass extract, with materials such as concentration sawdust, vanilla juice, and blue spot flowers." Oscar handed a stick of incense to Alice, "Burning a stick of incense costs 50 coppers, and its effect is the same as burning one or two meditation grasses!"


    Alice widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "50 coppers per stick of incense can actually have the same effect as meditation grass at 1 silver per tael!"


    Oscar smiled and said: "Of course, burning meditation grass directly is really a waste. Once meditation incense is mass-produced, it will definitely cause a sensation. Because its appearance greatly saves the cost of warlocks'' practice and benefits many poor warlocks!"


    Indeed, meditation grass is an unaffordable and expensive expense for warlocks born in poor families.


    When Alice was working in the store, she often saw some poor warlocks who were working part-time and were starving. They had to exchange all their hard-earned money for meditation grass. Alice felt very sorry. Poor warlocks were lucky to practice once or twice a week. Without material support and systematic knowledge learning, they would never succeed.If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    This invention is of great significance!


    The fate of countless poor warlocks will be rewritten!


    Oscar put away the meditation incense, "I will sell the method of making meditation incense, and the money I earn will definitely not be less than the spell. Similar inventions and ideas, you can have as many as I want, so you don''t have to worry about money at all."


    Alice said with great admiration, "Young master is awesome!"


    In the past few days, newspaper reporters and warlocks who came to visit almost trampled the door. It has only been a little better in the past two days. There is always a new topic in the magic world. Oscar''s magic has caused quite a stir in Baicheng, but it is only temporary. Because he lives in a small town, he is not affected much.


    Oscar took a sip of the fragrant porridge and said, "Count the days, Zhao Pu should send money. After closing, I will take you to the street to buy clothes. This matter is settled, and you don''t say anything more. I will lose face if you dress like this."


    "Yes..."


    Which girl doesn''t love beauty? Alice is only 15 years old. Every time she passes by a clothing store or a jewelry store, her eyes are full of longing and envy. It''s just that Alice is too kind and simple. She is devoted to Oscar. She likes to be thrifty and is unwilling to spend a penny on herself.


    Bang bang bang.


    Outside the door, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the snow.


    Oscar was a little surprised, "Someone came to buy herbs so early?"


    Alice took a look: "Hey, it''s the one-eyed uncle again!"


    Seeing Oscar roasting by the fire and drinking porridge, the one-eyed man said anxiously, "Brother is in trouble!"


    Oscar is the pharmacist of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries, but because of his low magic power, he is not working as a pharmacist for the time being, but just helping to take care of the store. Under normal circumstances, Oscar does not need to take action unless he encounters a situation that neither of the two pharmacists can handle.


    "What happened?"


    "Someone is injured and poisoned, very strange!"


    Oscar interrupted the one-eyed man: "Don''t say it, I''ll go over right away."


    Mercenaries go through life and death, and getting injured is commonplace.


    A room in the Snow Wolf Hotel was filled with big and strong mercenaries. The one-eyed man yelled, and everyone made way. Oscar walked to a stretcher, where a sturdy bald man was lying, already unconscious.


    "Iron Bull?"


    Oscar knew this mercenary.


    One-Eye said anxiously, "Several people went out on a mission yesterday evening, but only one person came back."


    Tie Niu''s shoulder was bitten, and the whole shoulder was black, black and smelly blood flowed out, and the nearby muscles were rotten, just like the rotten meat on a dead body.


    "The healer''s healing technique is useless."


    Oscar checked the wound, nodded and said, "First use your true qi to force the dirty blood out, and take some glimmering glutinous rice for treatment."


    The mercenary trusted Oscar very much. Although Oscar was young and had a great reputation, he did it immediately. When the dirty blood was released, the mercenary took the glowing glutinous rice, but as soon as it was applied, the glimmering glutinous rice dimmed and turned black, and the black around the wound was much lighter.


    "Make another bottle of fluorescent tree potion, only a quarter of the amount is needed, drink it and then treat it, it should be fine."


    The mercenaries all showed gratitude.


    Oscar asked without waiting for One-Eye to speak: "Are there dead demons around Baisong Town?"


    One-Eye was slightly stunned, "I haven''t heard of it."


    Oscar asked again: "Are there ancient tombs, mass graves, and ancient battlefields nearby?"


    "No."


    "Strange." Oscar looked at Tie Niu, "This is obviously corpse poison."


    The mercenary brought the fluorescent tree potion and asked Tie Niu to drink a sip. The healing spell was used to treat it quickly. The healing spell that was originally ineffective can now work. Tie Niu''s wound stopped bleeding and healed, and his life was saved. Everyone cast a grateful look at Oscar, and about a quarter of an hour later, Tie Niu woke up.


    "One-Eye... Boss." Tie Niu saw One-Eye, this iron tower-like man, and suddenly burst into tears, "Several brothers are dead!"


    Although they were mentally prepared, the mercenaries were still gloomy.


    Oscar asked directly: "What happened?"


    Tie Niu and his companions took an ordinary mission, but on the way back, an accident suddenly happened. "We passed by a forest, and suddenly a few weirdos jumped out and attacked us. We thought they were ordinary robbers, but we found out after fighting that they were very powerful. Although they didn''t use true qi, they were extremely powerful, as hard as stone, and they were invincible!"


    "Nonsense! How could they be invincible!"


    "Erdan shot a weirdo with five arrows in a row, and the other party was not hurt at all, and he tore Erdan in half!"


    The mercenaries took a breath of cold air.


    No true qi, tearing a living person alive.


    What a power!


    A mercenary shouted: "Orcs!"


    Tie Niu directly denied that the monsters had a physique similar to that of humans.


    Everyone talked about it.


    One-Eye pulled Oscar out of the room, "Boy, you''ve done a big favor for the Snow Wolf Mercenaries again."


    Oscar shook his head slightly: "It''s just a piece of cake."


    One-Eye asked: "That weirdo is..."


    "It should be a zombie!"


    A cold light flashed in One-Eye''s eyes, "Whoever dares to harm my brother, I will chop it into pieces no matter what it is!"


    "Zombies are dead demons. There is no essential difference between them and monsters and monsters. There is no point in revenge against dead demons. However, the appearance of zombies is not accidental. This matter can be big or small. The most important thing now is to find out the reason. You may need me for this."


    "You are just a warlock apprentice. It is very dangerous outside."


    "I have a way to protect myself."


    One-Eye hesitated for a while before saying: "Okay! These few days, let the brothers pay attention. If a zombie appears, we will go and find out."


    Oscar is not full and nothing to do.


    In the death magic, there is a branch called "Dead Demon System". The dead magic can tame zombies. This zombie is an excellent laborer and thug. Oscar wants to collect one or two zombies.


    "There is another thing." Oscar handed the meditation incense in his arms to the one-eyed man, "This little thing I''ve been researching recently, ask around in Baisong Town or nearby, and sell it to anyone who can eat it."


    The one-eyed man knew the use of the meditation incense, and was immediately shocked, "Why is this good thing cheap to outsiders? Don''t the Snow Wolf mercenaries have the strength to eat it? This thing is subversive, and the money will definitely snowball!"


    The effect of one stick of incense is similar to that of one or two meditation grasses, and the price is dozens of times lower than the latter. It is also easy to carry and has a long shelf life.


    This is the gospel of many poor sorcerers!


    If it is made public, the earthquake will be ten times the previous magic storm!


    Oscar shook his head: "Meditation Incense is made of three or four materials, mixed in proportion, and there is no refining formula. Although the product is very good, the ingredients are too simple. If it spreads, it will be cracked in less than two days. The Snow Wolf Mercenaries are a mercenary group. They do not have enough sales channels and production lines. They cannot compete with business families. In the end, the market will still be monopolized by one or several companies."


    "That''s a pity."


    "Why not sell it directly and get a lot of money."


    "No problem, leave it to me." One-Eye said very confidently: "I have traveled all over the country and have no shortage of connections. I can find a good buyer for you in a minute!"

 Chapter 13: Nalan Family

    Oscar returned to the room.


    Make a few talismans to deal with zombies first, so that they can be used when the time comes!


    Talisman learning is a profound knowledge. No matter what period, talisman makers are a popular profession, not inferior to pharmacists.


    To make low-level talismans, you only need talisman paper and talisman ink. The former can be bought in stores, and the latter is the key to making talismans. Different talismans use different inks. The talisman ink is made of magic beast blood and auxiliary materials.


    Oscar bought white horned beast blood, light algae juice, and white sand powder, and personally mixed a small bottle of talisman ink. Dip the talisman pen in the talisman ink, condense the magic power to the tip of the pen, and start writing and drawing on the talisman paper. The talisman must be linked together, and the slightest difference will lead to failure!


    The moment the last stroke is completed, the talisman paper is suddenly full of power fluctuations as if it is given life!


    Oscar was sweating profusely, "It''s so hard to cast a light arrow talisman."


    Talismans are divided into spell talismans, array talismans, etc.


    This is a spell talisman of [Light Arrow].


    Oscar is a 4th ring apprentice, and can only use 0-level spells at present, which has no practical value. However, making a 1-level spell talisman and using it to stimulate spells is the same as casting a 1-level spell.


    However, this talisman cannot be exposed.


    Contemporary light spells have not yet sprouted, and rashly selling talismans may cause big trouble.


    When Oscar recovered his mana, he took out a pen and paper and wrote a few thousand words on the title of "The Discovery and Basic Application of Light Energy". He introduced light energy half-hiddenly and left a 0-level spell [Illumination] as a basis.


    Although it is deliberately written superficially and crudely, with some minor mistakes, it is just that the modern magic is very narrow, with only [Five Elements Magic] and [Life Magic]. Other fields are indeed being studied, but few have achieved success. This will be explosive news.


    Oscar thought again and again and decided not to announce it for the time being.


    The turmoil caused by the five spells is still continuing. It is not good to be too popular, as it will easily cause trouble.


    Alice is still busy in the store.


    "We can close today."


    Alice was stunned and said, "It''s not time yet?"


    "Don''t worry about the time, let''s go shopping."


    Alice skipped work at Oscar''s instigation, and the two ran to the busiest commercial street in Baisong Town.


    In the best clothing store in the town, there are all kinds of clothes, dazzling.


    Alice was overwhelmed by the sight of all the men and women passing by, all dressed beautifully. Alice touched her rough and old coat, and felt like an ugly duckling, standing out of place here, feeling a little inferior and uneasy.


    Oscar felt uncomfortable when he saw this. Alice was beautiful and kind, but she had no confidence at all. This was all "his" fault.


    "Do you two need to buy clothes?"


    A beautiful saleslady came up and saw that the two were dressed simply, and there was some disdain in her eyes. Although it was fleeting, Alice still caught it sensitively, and her inferiority and uneasiness became stronger. She pulled Oscar''s hand and whispered, "Master... these things are too expensive, let''s go to another store."


    The saleslady glanced at Alice.


    What a beautiful girl.


    It''s a pity that she followed a poor guy!


    The shopping guide was of good quality. Although she despised him in her heart, she did not show it. She wore a professional smile and said, "Our products are made of fine workmanship and high-quality materials, so the price is a bit expensive. If you can''t accept it, turn right and walk about 500 meters. There is a clothing store suitable for low-end and mid-range consumption."


    "Nonsense!" A fat man came over and glanced at Alice with a hint of surprise, "How can those cheap goods be worn by this beautiful lady?"


    When the shopping guide saw the fat man, she immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you..."


    The fat man''s eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, you don''t have to care about the price. You can pick any clothes in this store. They are all on me, Li Gaoming!"


    Alice said quickly, "I don''t want it."


    The fat man''s eyes flashed with displeasure, and then he said, "It''s okay, it''s okay, good clothes can only reflect their value when worn by beautiful people. There is no other meaning. I don''t have any other advantages, I just like the beauty of honesty and benevolence." As he said, his eyes fell on Oscar, who was dressed simply, "Who is this little brother, your brother, or a servant?"


    Alice showed a trace of anger, "Don''t talk nonsense."


    Oscar said calmly, "My name is Oscar, the Li family will not be unfamiliar with me."The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    Everyone was shocked!


    Is this the genius warlock Oscar?


    He has been very popular recently!


    He is all over the newspapers and magazines!


    After Li Gaoming was shocked, his expression suddenly became gloomy. Oscar is the enemy of the Li family. Recently, the Li family''s reputation has been ruined and they have lost the qualification to be the agent of the "Warlock" journal. In fact, it was because of him!


    Oscar treated the fat man as air, grabbed a handful of silver coins, and scattered them casually, jingling on the floor.


    The saleslady was stunned: "This..."


    "This is just a tip, go get the best and most expensive clothes!"


    The fat man and the saleslady were stunned.


    Oscar frowned and said, "Don''t want it?"


    The saleslady quickly smiled flatteringly, "Yes, sir, please wait a moment."


    A dozen silver coins as a tip.


    Almost enough for three or two months'' salary!


    The saleslady''s attitude changed 180 degrees.


    The other saleslady showed envy and jealousy. Alice felt so distressed. The young master was so reckless. Those were silver coins, not copper coins. Even if they were copper coins, Alice would not be willing to throw them away like this.


    Oscar smiled and comforted him, "What''s this little money? Remember, if anyone dares to look down on us, we will hit him hard in the face. If one time is not enough, we will hit him again!"


    The fat man''s eyes were even more fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Li didn''t know that you are Oscar, I''m rude."


    Oscar yawned and said, "It doesn''t matter. The Li family has always had bad eyesight, and it''s not the first time or the second time that they have made mistakes."


    Everyone knew what Oscar was hinting at.


    All had strange expressions.


    The fat man''s eyes were about to spit fire. If he was not afraid of the fierce and warlike Snow Wolf mercenaries, he would have taken action long ago, "Okay, very good, Oscar is indeed worthy of his reputation. I have something else to do, see you later!"


    The fat man walked out of the store with an angry face.


    Alice couldn''t help but be secretly surprised.


    Oscar is still as domineering as before!


    It''s just that the domineering now makes her feel safe, and she likes it very much!


    A few minutes later, the salesperson brought four or five sets of the best clothes. She prepared a lot of compliments to describe several clothes, but Oscar bought them directly without even looking at them carefully.


    "Total... 130 silver coins in total!"


    The salesperson''s voice was a little trembling.


    Oscar was not very happy, "You are not mistaken."


    The salesperson panicked and said, "The price can be negotiated..."


    Oscar''s sword eyebrows raised, "Why is it so little!"


    "Huh?"


    The salesperson''s brain was sluggish.


    "I said I want the best, you are not fooling me!"


    Everyone had an impulse to vomit blood. 130 silver coins are still too little? The average monthly income in Baisong Town is only about three or five silver coins. This is the money that can be earned by not eating or drinking for several years. Oscar didn''t even look at the clothes, just complaining that the price is too cheap.


    The salesperson was so excited that she almost cried, "This, this, this... is really the best."


    Alice changed into new clothes.


    A white fox coat without any color, which keeps you warm and highlights your temperament. Alice is already very beautiful. When she comes out wearing the white fox coat, she is immediately stunning. Her youthfulness adds a bit of nobility, and Oscar is stunned.


    "It''s OK, but it''s OK!"


    Oscar paid the money quickly and packed up the other pieces to take away.


    Alice is a beautiful woman with a high rate of turning back. Now she is dressed beautifully, just as eye-catching as a high-power light bulb. She is very happy, but at the same time she feels a little sorry, "Master, these clothes are really..."


    "You have said these words eight times from the beginning to now." Oscar stuffed all the clothes in his hand into Alice''s arms, pointed to the front and said, "There is a trash can over there, if you don''t like it, just throw it all away! At worst, I will buy new ones!"


    "No, I, I..."


    Alice''s face was flushed, and she couldn''t speak, but she was very moved in her heart.


    Alice has been living a hard life and has no confidence!


    Oscar is not a mean person. He is more assertive because he wants her to get rid of her inferiority complex as soon as possible!


    "Strange, why is there a note in it?"


    Alice suddenly took out a note from her clothes.


    "This seems to be an address."


    The note was written in a beautiful handwriting, with a certain street and a certain residence. It must have been left by the shopping guide, which was full of hints.


    Oscar tore the note into pieces and patted Alice on the shoulder, "Let''s go buy jewelry. Let''s go to the hotel for dinner and eat fish. Isn''t Alice''s favorite fish?"


    Alice stared at the torn note.


    I don''t know why.


    She was very scared.


    Very scared.


    Alice has a congenital defect.


    Although she likes the young master, the two cannot become husband and wife.


    The young master is young, promising and talented. If a man has ability, it is common to marry a wife and concubines. Oscar will have to carry on the family line sooner or later. Alice has a defect and can only be a maid forever.


    If other women come to the young master, will he still need this maid?


    Alice has gradually become accustomed to the young master''s kindness to her.


    If one day, the young master doesn''t want her anymore, she really doesn''t know what to do.


    Alice''s eyes are lonely, and the more she thinks about it, the sadder she becomes. For the first time, she begins to hate herself. Why does she have a strange problem since she was born? Oscar didn''t notice Alice''s change, and thought that Alice was stimulated just now and hasn''t recovered yet. He bought Alice a lot of beautiful jewelry and a lot of delicious and fun things.


    Alice also suffered a lot following "himself".


    Oscar wanted to make up for it and make her happy and happy.


    When the two went back, it was completely dark.


    There was a large group of people in front of the pharmacy, as if they were waiting for the two of them, which really scared them both.


    "Who is it!"


    Oscar quickly stood in front of Alice, holding a light arrow talisman in his right hand.


    "You little brat! Where have you been!" One-Eye rushed out cursing, "How dare you skip work? The brothers went everywhere to look for you!"


    Oscar was relieved when he saw One-Eye, "Sorry, sorry, I will definitely leave a note before I skip work next time."


    One-Eye stared at him and said unhappily, "Damn it, you dare to talk like that, you simply don''t take me seriously, be careful or I will break your legs!"


    Oscar had to apologize and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    One-Eye said, "There are several chambers of commerce or families that are very interested in the method of making meditation incense."


    "Silver Snow Chamber of Commerce, Glacier Chamber of Commerce, Nalan Family..."


    Oscar read the information.


    One-Eye made a suggestion and said, "The Silver Snow Chamber of Commerce is the chamber of commerce under the command of the great lord. I think selling it to the Silver Snow Chamber of Commerce is the right choice. After all, we live in the Silver Snow Region. If we can establish a good relationship with the lord, the benefits are self-evident. The Glacier Group is also a good choice. They are mainly in the materials industry and are very powerful..."


    Oscar suddenly said, "What about the Nalan family? Isn''t this the largest business family in the Northern Federation?"


    "That being said, there are countless famous chambers of commerce under the Nalan family, but this one... I have never heard of it! After learning about the situation, she rushed to Baisong Town overnight."


    "Is it a boy or a girl?"


    "It is said that she is a lady of the Nalan family. The Nalan family is one of the best business families in the North, but it is not outstanding in Baicheng, and this chamber of commerce is unheard of. Selling the Mingsixiang to them may not be a good choice."


    Oscar didn''t care, "Can you arrange a meeting for us?"


    Come on!


    The one-eyed man rolled his eyes and talked on for a long time, but the bastard didn''t listen at all. Forget it, he could sell his invention to whoever he wanted!

 Chapter 14 False Accusation

    In a luxurious suite at Baisong Hotel, a woman was writing something at the table, and the light reflected her soft facial features.


    The maid brought hot tea, "Miss, it''s getting late."


    Nalan Yan sat quietly, with a hint of worry, and said slowly: "This business is too important. I have to think about how to convince the other party. You go to bed early and don''t worry about me."


    The meditation incense is a subversive invention, which contains huge business opportunities and directly attracted several business tycoons. Nalan Yan came to Baisong Town as soon as she got the news, but the Nalan family did not have a clear advantage in Baicheng, and she ran out because she was angry with the head of the family, so she had no resources.


    What can she fight for?


    There is almost no chance of winning.


    Although she knew that the chances were slim, Nalan Yan still wanted to give it a try!


    It has nothing to do with family business.


    For Nalan Yan, whether she can make a career or not is more about dignity, freedom, and happiness... Nalan Yan reached out to her chest and held a piece of white jade. Her eyes, like autumn water, gradually became blurred. This piece of jade was given to her by her mother when she was young.


    Nalan Yan thought of her mother who was locked in the old house in the deep courtyard, lonely and miserable, and her eyes couldn''t help but moisten.


    I will succeed!


    I must succeed!


    Suddenly, the sound of swords being drawn was heard outside the door, accompanied by a shout: "Who is it?"


    A young voice sounded: "Snow Wolf Mercenary, looking for Miss Nalan."


    Nalan Yan was shocked when she heard this and stood up hurriedly, "Please... please come in!"


    The Nalan family guards stepped aside, and Oscar walked into the room and felt a faint fragrance coming to his nose. He could tell from the voice that Nalan Yan was the young lady sitting in the carriage more than half a month ago.


    This was the first time they met.


    When Oscar saw Nalan Yan


    The first impression was that she was extremely beautiful, with eyebrows like a painting, eyes like water, skin whiter than snow, and a graceful figure. Both her appearance and figure were impeccable. In her every move, she had an elegant and refined temperament, and an indescribable charm, like a fairy who was not in the world.


    The second impression was that she was weak. Nalan Yan was only seventeen or eighteen years old, her jade face was slightly pale, and her face was full of fatigue, as if a gust of wind could blow her down. There was an indissoluble sorrow between her eyebrows. Obviously, although she was born in a wealthy family, her life was not very satisfactory.


    Nalan Yan was also surprised!


    Isn''t this person too young?


    Why would the Snow Wolf Mercenaries send out a teenager?


    Is there a trick?


    The nerves of the maid next to her were tense, and her right hand was placed on the scabbard of the dagger at her waist.


    Nalan Yan didn''t think too much: "My name is Nalan Yan, may I ask who you are..."


    "Oscar."


    "Please sit down!" Nalan Yan had no impression, and waved her hand a little stiffly: "Xiaoxue, serve the tea!"


    Oscar didn''t wait for the tea to be served, and immediately said: "I won''t beat around the bush. I am the only one who knows how to make the meditation incense. How much is the Nalan family prepared to pay for it?"


    Nalan Yan hesitated, frowning and not knowing how to start.


    "Is this question difficult to answer?"


    Nalan Yan showed difficulty, "I came here overnight, and I may not be well prepared. I''m afraid it''s difficult to offer a high price."


    "Oh?"


    "We can sign a contract. When the meditation incense starts to make a profit, I will give you 10% of the profit."


    Nalan Yan couldn''t help blushing at the end. She was not a business material. This time she came out purely to be angry with her family, and it was also a desperate struggle. The family didn''t support her at all, so they didn''t give her any resources. She used a blank check to exchange for an invention worth a thousand gold.


    I feel so ashamed!


    Nalan Yan was a little flustered by the other party''s silence, and immediately added, "I will raise money as soon as possible and write another letter back to the family to explain the details. You may as well wait a few more days, I will definitely..."


    "No need!"


    "Please consider it."


    Nalan Yan stood up, and a mist welled up in her beautiful eyes.This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.


    Oscar slowly took out a roll of paper and put it on the table, "The method of making meditation incense is all written on it."


    Nalan Yan was stunned.


    Oscar said slowly: "Meditation Incense is easy to make, and the secret recipe is easy to crack. Therefore, it is not recommended to sell it immediately, but to mass produce it first to accumulate quantity, advertise more to establish the brand, and finally release it to occupy the market."


    Nalan Yan stared at Oscar blankly, "Who are you? Why are you helping me?"


    "That night, without half a snow chicken, Alice and I would have been hungry all night again." Oscar signed the contract, rolled it up and put it in his arms, smiled and said, "It''s too late, Oscar will not disturb you. Miss Nalan, see you later."


    Oscar walked out of the room without looking back.


    Nalan Yan couldn''t believe it, and the maid Xiaoxue also opened her mouth.


    The two felt like they were dreaming!


    It can''t be a lie!


    Nalan Yan picked up the parchment, the secret recipe was very detailed, and she left a few incense sticks as samples.


    "Miss, Miss!"


    "Oscar, Oscar... How could it be him?"


    The maid pushed Nalan Yan, who was as dumb as a chicken, and Nalan Yan came to her senses, as if she remembered something, and her eyes became complicated.


    One-Eye stood at the door holding a knife. When he saw Oscar coming out, he immediately approached him and asked, "It''s over so quickly, didn''t you reach an agreement?"


    Oscar handed the contract to One-Eye, "Look for yourself."


    One-Eye stared at Zhang Mu, "Stupid, damn stupid!"


    Oscar pointed to the contract and said, "After the production and sale of the Meditation Incense, 10% of the profit will belong to the Snow Wolf Mercenaries."


    "What do you mean?"


    "A little token of my appreciation."


    One-Eye was so shocked that he couldn''t speak, "Boy, you have to think clearly. You didn''t make a penny from such a great invention from beginning to end. Don''t you feel that you''ve lost money?"


    Oscar snorted, "I don''t take this kind of thing seriously."


    One-Eye''s mouth twitched for a while, and he couldn''t speak for a long time.


    This immature boy is getting harder and harder to see through.


    The next day.


    The Snow Wolf Mercenaries announced the news and signed a contract with the Snow Swallow Chamber of Commerce under the Nalan family.


    This news was too sudden. The Xueyan Chamber of Commerce had taken the lead before other chambers of commerce and families made a move. When did the Nalan family have another Xueyan Chamber of Commerce? The matter was done and irreversible. The Xueyan Chamber of Commerce was under the banner of the Nalan family. These people did not dare to have any opinions. They had to find Nalan Yan to discuss cooperation, hoping to get a share and share the huge market.


    Oscar finished his practice and left the room.


    Alice hurried forward and said, "Someone gave you a gift!"


    Oscar was slightly stunned when he heard it: "Who sent it?"


    Oscar was a celebrity in the town. Small landlords and small families often sent gifts to curry favor with him, but he usually didn''t care much.


    Alice shook her head and said, "This time it was a very beautiful sister. I wanted to thank you in person, but you were practicing, so I didn''t disturb you. So I left a gift and left. She said she would come back to thank you another day."


    Oscar took an exquisite dagger from the gift box. The scabbard was made of black rhino leather, the hilt was made of rhino horn, and the blade was made of fine steel. It was about two feet long and gleaming with cold light. It was very dazzling. With a light wave of his hand, the blade fell on the table and easily cut off a corner.


    "I am a warlock, what do I need a sword for?"


    "Can a warlock carry a sword!" Alice stared at the dagger and said, "This sword must be worth a lot of money. That sister is really generous. She... who is she?"


    Oscar put the sword back into the scabbard, "Nalan Yan is the eldest daughter of the Nalan family!"


    Alice was a little dazed and worried about gains and losses.


    Oscar didn''t notice the change in the little girl''s expression. "Alice, I will teach you some basic magic knowledge from today. You must study hard and don''t let me down."


    Alice''s face immediately showed surprise again, "Can I also learn powerful spells?"


    "I think there is no problem, but how far you can go depends on your talent and hard work. Now let''s get started." Oscar sat down in the pharmacy. "These days, you have memorized most of the herbs. Next, you can officially start learning as a sorcerer. But before learning magic, you must first master the basic knowledge."


    Alice brought a bench, found paper and pen to take notes, and listened attentively.


    Oscar finished talking about the basic knowledge, which took a full hour. "Let''s stop here today. If you don''t understand something, ask me. I will give you some questions. As long as you answer all the questions correctly, we will move on to the next part of the study."


    Alice listened with great interest. Suddenly, he stopped talking. She couldn''t help but feel a little regretful, but patted her chest and said, "Master, don''t worry, I will study hard and will never let you down. I didn''t expect that being a warlock is so interesting. I will definitely work hard and become the most powerful warlock!"


    Oscar smiled slightly, "Come on!"


    Alice blushed, "Forget it, Alice doesn''t want to be the first warlock, the second most powerful one is enough!"


    "Why?"


    "Because the young master wants to be the first!"


    Oscar laughed and knocked on Alice''s head, "Stupid, you haven''t even started yet! Besides, do I need you to let me?"


    Alice laughed foolishly.


    At this moment, she felt that she had found her direction. Even if she had physical defects, if she studied the art well and became the young master''s most capable assistant, wouldn''t she be able to accompany the young master all the time?


    I must study hard!


    I can''t be the young master''s person.


    I will become someone who is useful to the young master!


    Oscar never dreamed that Alice was determined to learn the art well for this.


    "It''s getting late, let''s go to the tavern to eat fish."


    "Okay! Okay!"


    Alice was very happy.


    "Brother Oscar, Brother Oscar!"


    A tall and strong man rushed into the pharmacy.


    Oscar was slightly stunned when he saw him, "It''s Tie Niu, how is your injury recovering?"


    "I''m fine! That little injury has healed a long time ago!" Tie Niu was sweating profusely and said hurriedly: "Brother, you are in trouble!"


    Oscar didn''t understand, "What do you mean?"


    Tie Niu took out a crumpled newspaper, "Take a look."


    Oscar took it and glanced at it, raised his eyebrows slightly, showed a sarcastic look, shook his head and said, "What a joke!"


    Alice knew that the young master was in trouble, and her heart was panicked, and she took the newspaper.


    This is the "White City Daily", the most sold newspaper in the White City area. The headline of the first page is particularly eye-catching and dazzling-"The true face of the genius apprentice, a despicable and shameless plagiarist!"


    Oscar is too prominent!


    It is inevitable that people will be jealous!


    But I didn''t expect that this person is so vicious!


    Alice''s eyelashes trembled, and she shouted angrily, "Damn it! Who is defaming the young master!"


    Although she was angry, she still read it carefully. The whole article was written very delicately.


    Oscar was portrayed as a mean, vulgar, cunning, vicious, unscrupulous, and unscrupulous villain.


    Most of the things disclosed here are well-founded, and even a considerable part of them are true facts, which Oscar did in the past. The writer of this article investigated Oscar''s past misdeeds clearly, and fabricated facts to successfully turn Oscar into a tyrannical and vicious dude!


    The article lists a series of ironclad evidence, and finally pointed out that 5 spells were all plagiarized!


    Plagiarizing research results is the most taboo thing in the world of magic. Any magician who does something similar will immediately cause countless criticisms and various spit on it, and at the same time will bear very severe legal penalties.


    No matter who the initiator is, this person''s intentions are extremely vicious.


    Not only does he want to ruin Oscar''s future, he also wants to bring disgrace upon Oscar!

 Chapter 15 Storm

    A single stone stirs up a thousand waves!


    When Oscar is in the spotlight, a bombshell is dropped, and the sensation and impact can be imagined!


    This "White City Daily" is the most popular local newspaper, and it will never deliberately fabricate right and wrong to attract attention. If it dares to publish it, it must have a basis.


    In one day, White City was like being swept by a strong storm, and public opinion showed signs of one-sidedness. The newspapers, newspapers, and magazines that were desperately praising and praising Oscar two days ago. Now they all turned their guns and began to criticize!


    ¡­


    "City Evening News": "Oscar''s true identity has been exposed. He was originally a descendant of the family, but was removed from the family tree."


    "White City Magazine": "The genius apprentice was originally a famous playboy in Baisong Town. He lost millions of family property in two years. Judging from his living environment, it is impossible for him to have time to concentrate on learning magic, let alone develop magic on his own."


    "Du Family Newspaper", "Oscar is young, but his character is extremely bad. He is not only addicted to alcohol, but also loves gambling."


    "Law Enforcement Guardian": "The crime of plagiarizing magic can be sentenced to death by hanging!"


    "White City Radio": "There are more and more negative news about Oscar, the apprentice of the magician in Baisong Town. The magic law enforcement department said that it is investigating the matter. If the matter is true, the plagiarist will be severely punished."


    "Snowland Magazine": "Oscar deceives the world and steals the name! He should be severely punished!"


    ¡­


    Countless media are condemning or questioning Oscar!


    Only a few are speaking for Oscar, mainly the media of the Academy Alliance. Because if plagiarism of spells is true, the Academy Alliance will be greatly affected.


    There is no shortage of people who are jealous of others¡¯ talents.


    Oscar was too popular a while ago, and countless warlocks envied him. Now they have finally found a balance point, and they all stand up to criticize him as moralists.


    When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down, and when a drum breaks, everyone beats it. A genius warlock has become a liar, scum, and villain among warlocks!


    ¡­


    Inside the Snow Wolf Inn.


    "Bang!"


    One-Eye roared, and the cup shattered. "This is too strange. Starting from the White City Daily, other media seemed to have agreed to launch attacks at the same time. It is obvious that someone is pushing it behind the scenes!"


    Tie Niu stood up and said, "Let Oscar go and hide."


    One-Eye shook his head and said, "No, if I leave now, wouldn''t it prove that I am guilty? They have no solid evidence at all. They are completely manipulating public opinion. They can''t do anything to the kid!"


    Oscar sat next to him, drinking tea and said, "Uncle One-Eye, you are wrong."


    Now that things have come to this point, Oscar is about to be ruined. Is this kid in the mood to drink tea?


    What else is he thinking about!


    Alice also looked anxious.


    One-Eye asked, "What did you say?"


    Oscar put down his teacup and said, "If there is no evidence, it is impossible to touch me. These people are obviously well prepared. I think the two-day public opinion bombardment is just a warm-up. I think the so-called evidence will come out soon."


    "Do you have a way to deal with them?"


    "I don''t even know who the mastermind is, so how can I talk about a way?"


    Oscar was calm and composed. In fact, for him, it was easy to shut up the public opinion.


    Just defeating public opinion is not a victory.


    The key is to kill the mastermind!


    "Dongdongdongdong!"


    Footsteps sounded outside the hotel, and twenty neatly equipped soldiers wearing leather armor and cloaks and holding long spears appeared. This is a team of regular soldiers.


    The mercenaries quickly blocked the door: "What are you doing!"


    "We are the law enforcement team!" A man dressed as a soldier captain stood up and took out a token from his waist, "Apprentice warlock Oscar is suspected of plagiarizing achievements. We are here to arrest him under the order of the mayor!"


    One-eyed man rushed out like a mad tiger and roared: "Do you know who I am? You dare to arrest people in my territory, you all don''t want to live!"


    The soldier captain held his spear horizontally and took a defensive posture, "We are following orders, please don''t make things difficult for us!"


    "Want to arrest someone? You knock me down first!"


    A low voice came: "It''s so impressive!"


    One-eyed man''s eyes sank: "Du Jian!"


    A middle-aged man walked out.


    This man is called Du Jian, a famous master of the Du family. Before the one-eyed man recovered from his disability, he was known as the most powerful warrior in Baisong Town. At this moment, Du Jian was followed by a young man, Du Feng, who was beaten by the Snow Wolf mercenaries.This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    Du Feng had a triumphant smile on his sinister face.


    The one-eyed man seemed to be about to spit fire, and snorted, "So that''s it, you''re the ones behind this!"


    The captain of the soldiers took a step forward, "Please hand over Oscar!"


    "How ridiculous!" The one-eyed man drew out his long sword, and the strong true energy made the blade vibrate, "Ask my sword if it agrees!"


    Swish!


    All the mercenaries drew their weapons.


    The Du family didn''t have enough people, and if they really got into a fight, they probably wouldn''t be able to defeat the Snow Wolf mercenaries.


    Oscar walked out, his expression calm, and said, "If they want to investigate, then let them investigate. I''ll go over there. I''m not afraid of my own shadow, so it''s okay."


    The law enforcement captain gave a look, and the soldier took out cold handcuffs and handcuffed Oscar''s hands.


    Alice ran out, crying, "No! Please, don''t arrest the young master!"


    "Don''t worry, I''ll be fine." Oscar saw Alice was sad, and felt a little sorry for her. He glanced at Du Feng with a cold look in his eyes, "I want to see what tricks you have."


    "Let''s go!"


    The law enforcement captain pushed Oscar and surrounded and escorted him away.


    The one-eyed man looked very ugly, and he shouted to a group of people: "Listen, if he loses a hair, I will kill your whole family!"


    The soldiers shuddered when they heard this.


    "One-eyed boss, this is simply a trap!" Tie Niu shouted angrily. Oscar was his savior. "Are we just going to watch Brother Oscar being wronged?"


    One-eyed''s expression was very gloomy. "This matter is not simple."


    "Why?"


    "I know that mayor. He is a coward! How dare he touch my people without anyone''s support? That coward has always been afraid of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries. This time he captured Oscar to take the opportunity to kill our prestige! He was used!"


    "You mean the Du family..."


    "More than that!" One-eyed''s expression became solemn. "Oscar is in big trouble this time."


    In this chaotic era, the laws in different places are different, and the constraints are generally not high. After all, it is fists that speak. The Snow Wolf Mercenaries are quite powerful. The headquarters is located in the distant Snow City. The White City hundreds of miles away is just a branch.


    A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.


    In terms of local power, the Du family is a little worse than the Snow Wolf Mercenaries. If they find allies, it will be different.


    "Uncle One-Eye." Alice wiped her tears and held a parchment scroll. "This is what the young master left behind. He said he must send it to Grandpa Zhao Pu in Baicheng."


    One-Eye opened the parchment scroll and saw dense words and symbols. He couldn''t understand it at all. "What is this? Tie Niu, ride a fast horse and go to Baicheng in person."


    Alice was frightened by a series of changes and her face turned pale. She was at a loss.


    Oscar was everything to her.


    The good life has just begun!


    An hour later, Baisong Town announced that Oscar had been arrested and would be tried publicly tomorrow!


    This matter has attracted a lot of attention. Oscar is a member of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries. The mercenaries are bold and might come to rob people. If this really happens, the mayor will lose face. Therefore, Oscar was locked up in an iron cell specially for half-orcs, and a team of soldiers was added to guard the door.


    The prison was gloomy, the fire basin was crackling, and there was a faint sound of water dripping.


    Oscar was changed into a thin prison uniform, handcuffed and shackled, squatting in the corner of the cell, surrounded by rough hay, barely enough to keep warm. Four soldiers stood outside the iron gate, guarding the door.


    "Oscar, how does the cell taste?"


    The iron gate was opened a little, revealing Du Feng''s gloomy eyes.


    Oscar sat cross-legged in the haystack, closed his eyes and said lightly: "I knew you would come. I have to say that you did a good job! But do you think you can overthrow me with this?"


    Du Feng laughed, "I have plenty of ways to get that little maid. I said that I never couldn''t get what I wanted."


    Oscar laughed sarcastically, opened his eyes and said, "It''s not certain who will have the last laugh."


    Du Feng smiled grimly, "I''ll tell you the truth. The Snow Wolf mercenaries have been arrogant for a long time, and the mayor has long been dissatisfied. Since they have run into the gun, it''s just right to use you to suppress the Snow Wolf''s arrogance! You violated the bottom line of the magic world, and it''s useless to have Zhao Pu''s support. You''re dead!"


    Du Feng couldn''t help asking: "I''m very curious, where did you get those spells?"


    "I wrote them!"


    "What a joke!"


    Oscar closed his eyes again, "Believe it or not."


    The iron gate was closed.


    A night passed.


    The next day, Oscar was escorted to the execution court.


    Countless reporters from newspapers, magazines, and radio stations had already arrived.


    The judge was the town mayor, Wang Jian, a man in his 40s, a little bald, ordinary-looking, short and fat, with a big belly. He walked to the presiding judge''s seat and scanned the whole audience with his green bean eyes. In addition to the media, many people from the Snow Wolf Mercenaries, the Du family, and the Li family came.


    Wang Jian cleared his throat, stared at Oscar in handcuffs, and put on a dignified expression, "Oscar, do you know your crime!"


    Oscar replied calmly: "I don''t know."


    "Let this mayor tell you!" Wang Jian shouted, "Bring him up!"


    A young warlock in his early 20s came in. When he saw Oscar, he suddenly burst into tears and knelt directly in the middle, "Mr. Mayor, you must make a decision for me. It was him who plagiarized the hard work of me and my teacher! You must bring him to justice!"


    Wang Jian said to Oscar: "What do you want to say?"


    Oscar laughed, "Since we have rehearsed it, I will just treat it as a show."


    "Bold!" Wang Jian was furious and snorted coldly: "This mayor is fair and just, how could he bend the law for personal gain? Keep talking!"


    The sorcerer continued, "I was adopted by my teacher. He was very kind to me. These five spells were completed by my teacher and I. Before my teacher died..." The sorcerer was in tears and described the incident clearly. He suddenly stood up, pointed at Oscar and cursed, "This unscrupulous beast! He actually did something that hurt the world. I don''t care about his reputation. I just want the mayor to give me and my teacher justice!"


    Wang Jian asked again, "Do you have any evidence?"


    "Yes!" A thin middle-aged man with a goatee stood up and clasped his fists to everyone, "My name is Li Dahai, and I am the president of the Li Family Sorcerer Association. This friend''s teacher was once a member of the Li Family Sorcerer Society. I have kept some of the research notes on spells and can submit them as evidence."


    At this time, Du Feng stood up, "Mr. Town Master, I can prove that Oscar is a despicable and shameless villain. With his talent, it is impossible for him to research spells!"


    "What is the evidence?"


    "What I have in my hand is Oscar''s gambling record in the Du family casino. He has been gambling every day since he was fourteen years old. He has lost a total of 5.21 million copper coins and lost all his family property. How can a person who is addicted to gambling spend most of his time in the casino delve into the profound and mysterious art? In addition, Oscar likes to form gangs and bully in Baisong Town. He has done a lot of bullying in the past, and there is solid evidence for each of them. His former neighbors are all witnesses. Therefore, it is entirely possible that he has committed the crime of plagiarism!"


    "Show it up!"


    Du Feng handed over a large stack of information.


    Wang Jian flipped through it and his expression became gloomy. "The evidence is overwhelming. At this point, you still don''t plead guilty?"


    Oscar looked indifferent.


    Du Feng turned his head to face the media, pointed at Du Yun and said, "This man deceived the world and stole the name. Now there is solid evidence. If he is not severely punished, where is justice and where is the way of heaven!"


    Wang Jian made a decision, "Oscar is guilty of plagiarizing the results of the art of Taoism. He will be escorted to the law enforcement agency of the art of Taoism to receive the verdict tomorrow!"


    In this world, the crime of plagiarizing the results of magic is sometimes more serious than the crime of murder!


    Because murder is common, especially for civilians or slaves, their lives are as cheap as grass, even if a few are killed, it''s no big deal. This is even more so in the chaotic North.


    The crime of plagiarizing results is different. The art of Taoism is the engine that drives the development of civilization. No matter where in the mainland, as long as civilization still exists, the protection of the knowledge of the art of Taoism is very strict and harsh. If someone steals the research results of the art of Taoism and causes an impact, the crime is serious.


    At the least, he will pay a huge amount of compensation, and at the worst, he will be sentenced to death by hanging!


    Oscar''s face was calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

 Chapter 16 The City is in Turmoil

    The media released the verdict, and Baicheng was once again in an uproar. This kind of major plagiarism crime had not occurred in Baicheng for 10 years, and Oscar instantly became the object of scorn by thousands of sorcerers.


    Scum of the sorcerer world!


    Shame of Baicheng!


    These derogatory words appeared in the headlines, all attributed to Oscar!


    The Academy Alliance is in the editorial department of Baicheng.


    Zhao Pu held the new newspaper, his face flushed red, and he trembled all over and said angrily, "This is outrageous, this matter is obviously the result of human manipulation! These guys are simply confusing right and wrong!"


    Lan Feng was also very indignant. He had talked with Oscar, who was a real scholar: "Oscar is definitely not a fraud, what should we do?"


    Zhao Pu''s old face was gloomy and he said with a little worry: "Now public opinion is one-sided. If you intervene rashly, you will not get any advantage, but will get yourself into trouble. You can only wait patiently. When the matter is less concerned, we will take action. Oscar... I''m afraid he will suffer for a while!"


    Just as the two of them were frowning.


    "Get out of the way! I want to see Master Zhao!"


    "Whoever dares to stop me, I will chop him!"


    A voice like a bell sounded.


    Zhao Pu frowned, "Who is making the noise!"


    An apprentice ran over in panic, "A mercenary broke in."


    Zhao Pu was a little surprised, "Please let him in."


    Tie Niu walked in with a burly body, wearing thick leather armor, with a heavy axe hanging on his back, looking a little dusty. When he saw Zhao Pu here, the sturdy man breathed a sigh of relief and ran over quickly, "Master Zhao Pu, I am from the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group. This is what Brother Oscar asked us to give to you!"


    Zhao Pu showed a trace of doubt and opened the parchment. Dense words and symbols appeared in front of him. This seems to be an academic work, titled "The Discovery and Basic Application of Light Energy".


    "Light energy?" Zhao Pu''s cheeks twitched, "Isn''t this a new topic recently opened by the top leaders of the Warlock Guild? That is a subject jointly studied by more than a dozen famous warlocks, and there is no result now. How could Oscar..."


    Zhao Pu read it carefully, but after reading only two paragraphs, he felt that his eyes were about to bulge out.


    "Lan Feng! Lan Feng!"


    Zhao Pu roared almost like crazy.


    "I... am here!"


    Lan Feng was startled, and the others were also stunned, all looking at Zhao Pu with a look of looking at a monster. This 70-year-old warlock has never lost his composure like this.


    "Has our monthly magazine been sent out?"


    "Just sent out half an hour ago!"


    Zhao Pu shouted loudly: "Withdraw it! Withdraw it all! The content of this issue of the monthly magazine must be changed!" Zhao Pu raised the parchment in his hand, "This article must be added to the first page of the monthly magazine without a single word difference, and the title must be placed on the cover, and it must be in the most eye-catching position!"


    Lan Feng opened his mouth.


    Is the teacher crazy?


    This "Five Elements" journal is the same as other famous journals, with four types: weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual. Weekly is the lowest level, and annual is the top level. The annual magazine is compiled by the headquarters, and the local governments cannot interfere. The entire Northern Alliance publishes it uniformly. The quarterly magazine is jointly compiled by several domain main cities and published in several domains, and the local governments cannot interfere.


    The monthly magazine is at a lower level, compiled by the main city of a domain, and ordinary cities like Baicheng are responsible for providing content, and finally published in only one domain. The weekly magazine is the lowest level, compiled by ordinary cities in turn, with low-level content, the highest frequency, and the smallest scope.


    Zhao Pu can only decide on the compilation of the weekly magazine. As for the monthly magazine, it must be done by Xuecheng, and he only has the right to provide content.


    This issue of the monthly magazine has been unable to change from collecting content to finalizing, and then distributed to various places, printed and distributed by various cities. As the editor-in-chief of Baicheng, Zhao Pu has no right to change a word!


    Besides, it is unprecedented for an apprentice to appear in the monthly magazine "Five Elements", but it has not happened in more than ten years.


    "Teacher, are you sure you want to do this? What if the higher-ups blame you..."


    "Don''t talk nonsense! Do it!"


    Zhao Pu looked ferocious, as if he wanted to eat someone.


    Lan Feng shuddered and dared not say a word. He immediately withdrew the monthly magazine and started a temporary revision plan. His colleagues postponed the release time for a few hours. Zhao Pu sat down and continued to read Oscar''s paper. His eyes were shining and his whole body was shaking, as if he had a seizure.


    In another place, Nalan Yan held the newspaper in her hand, her beautiful face full of anger, "Ridiculous, it''s really ridiculous! If Oscar is really a person who does whatever it takes for profit as written in the newspaper, how could he easily give me the secret recipe worth a thousand gold? If Yu Mu is really a fraud and a person without real talent, how could he invent the meditation fragrance?"


    "Miss, calm down!" The maid said beside her: "The so-called mediocre is not envied, and Oscar is young, but he is a genius, so naturally some people are jealous."This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    Nalan Yan stood up and said: "I can''t watch him suffer injustice!"


    Xiaoxue rolled her eyes and said: "Miss, I have an idea."


    "Hurry up."


    "Now everyone in Baicheng is paying attention to this matter. I think we can use it to advertise the meditation fragrance."


    Nalan Yan is a smart person, and nodded immediately: "Xiaoxue, contact the media, I want to hold a press conference to announce the matter about the meditation fragrance, and also support Oscar!"


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    In the dark and cold cell, Oscar was wearing prison clothes and sitting in a haystack. He didn''t know that because of him, the outside world had become a mess.


    Oscar was in jail for thirty hours.


    Although the Snow Wolf Mercenaries were intimidating him, neither the mayor nor Du Feng dared to use lynching. Oscar felt cold and hungry after not drinking for a long time. He had to admit that he underestimated Du Feng.


    This time, he did a great job. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely fail. The only mistake Du Feng made was that he lacked knowledge of Oscar. Those five spells were indeed written by Oscar. Oscar could write thousands of similar spells.


    "Click!"


    The iron door was opened and the soldiers took Oscar out of the prison. According to tradition and legal restrictions, administrative agencies cannot deal with crimes related to the art of magic. Oscar will be sent to the Art of Magic Law Enforcement Corps for trial.


    In Baisong Town, there is a one-eyed man, so he dare not touch him easily. Once he leaves the town and goes to a place where the one-eyed man cannot control him, Du Feng can torture him however he wants.


    As a result, Oscar had just been taken out of the cell when suddenly a large fire appeared in front of him. It was a torch, and the mercenaries holding torches quickly spread all over the place.


    "I guessed that you wanted to send the people away overnight?" One-eyed man walked out of the crowd with a long, shining sword in his hand, "Ask us Snow Wolf mercenaries if we agree first!"


    "Release him!"


    "Release him!"


    "Release him!"


    More than a thousand fierce Snow Wolf mercenaries shouted in unison, scaring the residents of several streets to run away, and the shops quickly closed. The mercenaries and soldiers fought, and they suffered from the disaster.


    "Snow Wolf mercenaries, don''t go too far!" A soldier captain shouted loudly: "This is Baisong Town! Do you want to rebel?"


    "Stop talking nonsense!"


    "Release him immediately!"


    "Otherwise, don''t blame us for being rude!"


    Mercenaries are all fearless guys, and they might really fight. The soldiers looked at each other and could not send the prisoner, so they had to retreat and put the prisoner back in the cell.


    "How unreasonable!" Upon hearing this, the mayor Wang Jian smashed a cup, "Do these guys really want to rebel? Do they really take me, the mayor, seriously?"


    The Snow Wolf Mercenaries have been rude for a long time. Wang Jian wanted to take this opportunity to join forces with the Du and Li families to suppress the arrogance of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries. Unexpectedly, Oscar''s status in the Snow Wolf Mercenaries was much higher than expected. The one-eyed man swore to protect him.


    "Mobilize the city defense army and send it again tomorrow morning. Whoever dares to stop it will be beaten!"


    "Contact the Du and Li families immediately. I want their support!"


    Wang Jian was in a dilemma, but the media paid close attention to this matter. He didn''t want to make a fool of himself, so he went all out!


    Aren''t they just a group of mercenaries?


    Can they rebel?


    One wave has not yet settled.


    Another wave comes!


    That night, Nalan Yan held a press conference in Baicheng and announced an explosive news. Baiyan Company, a subsidiary of the Nalan family, will soon launch an important product that will cause changes in various cities and regions.


    Meditation Incense!


    The cost of a stick of meditation incense is one-tenth of that of meditation grass, but it can achieve the same results as meditation grass. This is good news for the vast number of poor sorcerers and the entire sorcerer world.


    Nalan Yan said at the press conference: "I want to thank one person on behalf of all sorcerers in the world and the Nalan family. He is a true genius, a kind man with a broad mind, and he has brought good news to countless sorcerers. Yes, he is the inventor and contributor of meditation incense, Oscar, the apprentice sorcerer in Baisong Town!"


    The whole audience was in an uproar!


    It was really full of twists and turns!


    Nalan Yan continued at the press conference: "I know that some people have tried to discredit him recently, but I believe in justice, and the truth will come out sooner or later. I, the Nalan family, will all pay close attention to this matter. I hope that the relevant law enforcement agencies will be cautious in judging, and not wrongly accuse good people, and let a generation of geniuses suffer injustice!"


    These words are too heavy!


    All media were shocked.


    Nalan Yan put pressure on behalf of the Nalan family!


    What level of existence does the Nalan family exist?


    The largest business family in the Northern Alliance is the Northern Alliance, not the Silver Snow Region. The Silver Snow Region is only a part of the North, and the entire North has sixteen regions. The Nalan family is the most powerful mechanical weapons dealer in the north. In this era of demons and frequent unrest, the booming weapons business can be imagined.


    Nalan Yan is the youngest daughter of the former head of the family. For some reason, she came to Baicheng, where the Nalan family is not very powerful, but there is no doubt that her words are extremely important just because she is a direct descendant of the Nalan family!


    The first business family in the north is going to support an apprentice?


    Now, let alone a small town mayor, even the Lord of Baicheng himself would not dare to touch him!


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    The next day.


    It was still dark.


    Outside the mayor''s house, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of people.


    "Release him!"


    "Release him!"


    The shouts were louder and louder.


    The mayor was awakened from his sleep and was furious on the spot: "Are those mercenaries here again?"


    A guard screamed: "No, mayor, this time they are not mercenaries!"


    Wang Jian was very surprised: "What is that?"


    Hundreds of people wearing warlock robes surrounded the mayor''s house, and small fireballs and small stones were constantly thrown. This is a large group of apprentice-level warlocks. They have one characteristic: their clothes are shabby, their faces are pale and thin, and they look malnourished.


    Poor warlocks!


    These sorcerers who were born in poor families are usually timid and afraid of trouble. Today, they seem to be full of energy and spontaneously formed a group to make trouble!


    Various non-lethal apprentice spells were thrown at the mayor''s house.


    "Old dog Wang Jian!"


    "Give us an explanation!"


    "Dog mayor!"


    "Release him immediately!"


    "Oscar is our benefactor! We don''t allow you to touch him!"


    "Release this dog official who distorts the facts immediately!"


    Wang Jian didn''t understand the situation clearly, his face turned green with anger, and he roared: "Rebellion! All rebellion!"


    Forget about the Snow Wolf mercenaries, these poor sorcerers dared to provoke him!


    Wang Jian was furious and immediately roared: "Where are the soldiers? Where are my soldiers? Arrest them immediately, arrest them all, and put them all in jail!"


    The soldiers were dispatched, and the sorcerers saw the soldiers coming and immediately scattered. In the end, dozens of people were caught, beaten and put in jail.


    The short and fat mayor Wang Jian was still angry, and immediately said to the guards on both sides, "Bring my armor and sword, this time I will personally escort the prisoner!"


    "Mayor... Mayor! It''s bad!"


    "What happened again?"


    Wang Jian was furious.


    "Look..."


    A newspaper was handed to him, and Wang Jian didn''t see the content clearly, but only saw the eye-catching headline of the newspaper - "An article that triggered a new revolution in the world of magic, a huge breakthrough in light energy, who dares to deny the talent of a genius magician! "


    Wang Jian continued to read with his eyes wide open, and his face became paler and paler.


    This is about Oscar''s new paper "The Discovery and Basic Application of Light Energy". After this paper was published in the "Five Elements" monthly magazine, it has caused a sensation in the entire magician world in just a few hours.


    "And this one."


    The guard presented another newspaper.


    ¡¶The Black Canyon was a victory. The scorpion tail beast that had been entrenched for many days was successfully driven away. The biggest hero of this battle, Zhao Pu, the developer of the antidote for the scorpion tail beast poison, publicly thanked the apprentice warlock Oscar!¡·


    The newspaper in Wang Jian''s hand fell to the ground, and his face was covered with beads of sweat.


    It''s over.


    Things... seem to be serious!

 Chapter 17 Snow Wind Sword Master

    This is destined to be a lively day.


    The victory in the Black Canyon is good news for the business community in Baicheng, and countless businessmen cheered and encouraged.


    The great hero of this battle was Zhao Pu. During the half-month-long battle, it was because of the continuous supply of antidotes that the army avoided many losses and successfully cleared the area. Zhao Pu also frankly stated that he was able to research the antidote, which was inseparable from Oscar''s assistance.


    Oscar''s name made the businessmen remember it.


    A paper titled "The Discovery and Basic Application of Light Energy" in the magic world caused another uproar! In an era without the concept of light magic, this discovery is of great significance.


    The Warlock Guild put aside past grudges and frankly stated that light energy is a subject that the Warlock Guild has just opened recently. More than a dozen masters of magic have not achieved any results, but they did not expect that an apprentice had an amazing discovery.


    In this issue of "Warlock" Weekly, Weng Lianhai, chairman of the White City Warlock Guild, personally wrote a thank-you letter - "Oscar''s talent is well-deserved, he is a rare genius in a century!"


    He also publicly stated: "Oscar is a very rare rookie, and the Warlock Guild is willing to invite him to join with the best treatment and environment!"


    It is such an honor for a master to extend an olive branch to a new apprentice!


    The Academy Alliance is not to be outdone. Several famous warlocks expressed high praise, hinting at the relationship between Oscar and the Academy Alliance. You Warlock Guild, don''t even think about poaching!


    If the Nalan family is the largest business organization in the North.


    Then the Warlock Guild is the largest warlock organization in the North.


    The Academy Alliance is the second largest warlock organization in the North, and at the same time, it has many students all over the world and has a far-reaching influence.


    Several White City masters gave high praise. As for the claim that Oscar plagiarized spells?


    That''s bullshit!


    No one dared to mention this anymore, unless they wanted to be scolded.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    The gate of Baisong Town is very lively with cars and horses coming and going.


    A dusty man, well-proportioned and handsome, wearing a chain mail, holding a simple long sword in his left hand, a wine gourd in his right hand, and a bamboo hat on his head, with a fluttering veil, looks like a master.


    The man in the bamboo hat took a sip of wine and said to himself: "Is this Baisong Town? It''s such a small place!"


    This man''s appearance attracted the attention of passers-by. There are only two types of people who wear metal armor in the cold weather, one is a madman, and the other is a master.


    Needless to say, the former.


    The latter is a powerful warrior, because of his strong true energy, he is not afraid of the cold, even under the ice and snow, he still dares to wear a set of metal armor.


    The man in the bamboo hat walked up to a girl, bowed politely, and asked with a smile, "My beautiful girl, where is the mayor''s house?"


    The girl first smelled the alcohol on the other person and was a little disgusted. When she turned around, a gust of wind suddenly lifted the veil on the man''s bamboo hat, revealing a face that was chiseled by a knife. He was less than 40 years old, with facial features like perfect sculptures, and a stubble beard, which gave him a mature feeling.


    "Ah... the mayor''s house, you can see it in three more streets."


    The girl blushed like an apple.


    "Thank you."


    The man''s voice was quite magnetic. He turned around suddenly, his cloak fluttering, snowflakes flying, and his figure was chic. In a blink of an eye, he was more than ten meters away.


    The girl screamed, "What a cool uncle!"


    The man in the bamboo hat looked distressed, and silently said to himself narcissistically, "It''s not good to be too handsome. No matter where I go, I am as dazzling as the sun and the moon. Tonight, another girl is destined to be lonely and sleepless. What a sin, what a sin!"


    We have arrived at the mayor''s house.


    "Strange, what''s going on?"


    The mayor''s house was full of potholes, and the trees next to it were all tilted, as if they had been robbed by robbers. He frowned and walked directly to the main gate. A group of soldiers were nervously blocking the door. When they saw a swordsman wearing metal armor and a bamboo hat coming, they immediately shouted loudly.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.


    "Stop!"


    "Who are you!"


    The man took out a silver token and said in a magnetic voice, "Feng Zhongmian from Xuecheng, I came to Baisong Town to do business, get out of the way!"


    Feng Zhongmian!


    The first martial arts master in Xuecheng - Feng Zhongmian!


    This is a well-known name!


    The soldiers were all stunned. They had not expected that Feng Zhongmian, the renowned master of Snow City, was so young, about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. It was said that Feng Zhongmian, with his Snow Sword, was invincible in Snow City!


    Why did such a big shot come to Baisong Town?


    "Hurry up and ask the mayor!"


    The mayor was so scared when he heard that the famous Snow Sword Saint would come to this broken town that he almost burst his liver and gallbladder, and ran out to greet him.


    Feng Zhongmian took off his bamboo hat, revealing a rather resolute and handsome face. He glanced at the short, fat and bald Wang Jian, sneered and said, "Are you the mayor of Baisong Town?"


    Wang Jian was very frightened and said in a funny manner, "Hello, Mr. Feng, I am Wang Jian, the mayor of Baisong Town."


    Feng Zhongmian touched his chin and said, "How can the mayor of a town be so ugly?"


    Wang Jian''s expression froze.


    "Hahaha, there are not many people in this world who are as handsome as me." Feng Zhongmian looked helpless. He went over and patted Wang Jian on the shoulder and said with sympathy: "This appearance is natural. Although it looks ugly, don''t worry, I won''t discriminate against you. Let''s go in and talk."


    Wang Jian was about to cry. He was already annoyed enough. What was this Lord Feng doing again?


    Was it because of Oscar?


    Impossible!


    That was the business of the sorcerer.


    Feng Zhongmian was a martial arts master. The two schools were completely different. No matter how powerful Feng Zhongmian was, he was still a martial artist. It was impossible for him to care about the affairs of the world of magic!


    Wang Jian felt relieved after thinking this: "Why are you standing there? Why don''t you serve tea to Lord Feng!"


    "Is that something a man should drink?" Feng Zhongmian picked up the wine gourd, unscrewed the lid, and a strong smell of alcohol filled the air: "I only drink alcohol!"


    Wang Jian quickly waved his hand to dismiss the man, and asked carefully: "Lord Feng, what do you want to do when you come to the town?"


    "I''m passing by here and I''m going to do something." Feng Zhongmian sat down, put his simple long sword on the table, took a cup of hot tea and took a sip, then said slowly: "Mayor Wang, I really envy you!"


    Wang Jian''s expression changed, "How dare I, I''m terrified!"


    Feng Zhongmian laughed and said: "It doesn''t matter, everyone has something worthy of others'' envy, such as my handsome appearance. Of course, this is innate, and it''s useless to envy it."


    Wang Jian''s mouth twitched a few times.


    Feng Zhongmian took a big sip of wine and continued, "I won''t beat around the bush. This time I came to Baisong Town just to see someone."


    Wang Jian was stunned, "Who is it?"


    Feng Zhongmian was a little surprised, "Don''t you know? This person is a great contributor to the Silver Snow Region. Because of him, maybe millions of hungry people will be freed from suffering. At the same time, it can affect the outside world and benefit the entire North. If not, do you think I would come here in person?"


    Wang Jian looked confused, "I am stupid and really don''t know who Lord Feng is talking about."


    Feng Zhongmian laughed, "Don''t worry, I just want to get to know him. I''m not here to rob anyone this time."


    Wang Jian almost cried.


    "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?" Feng Zhongmian slapped the table and said with an unhappy face, "Stop talking nonsense and let Oscar come out!"


    "Mu Mu... Oscar!"


    Wang Jian collapsed directly, his face ashen.


    Feng Zhongmian narrowed his eyes: "Don''t tell me there is no such person in Baisong Town!"


    Wang Jian stuttered: "Yes... yes!"


    "Where is he?"


    Wang Jian seemed to be petrified.


    Feng Zhongmian picked up the long sword on the table and stood up suddenly, "Don''t you want to say it?"


    "Lord Feng, spare me!"


    Wang Jian knelt on the ground, thinking in his heart that it was really unlucky, and he shouldn''t have believed the Du family''s words. This time he was in big trouble!


    "Tell me, where is he now?"


    "He... he is in prison!"


    "Oh?"


    Feng Zhongmian suddenly seemed to be a different person, no longer smiling, and his whole body released a cold and cold breath, and the strong true energy overflowed from his body, and a layer of frost condensed on the table.


    "Spare me! Sir, spare me!" The mayor''s body was cold, and he kowtowed hurriedly, saying, "This is none of my business, none of my business!"


    "Humph!"


    Feng Zhongmian grabbed the simple long sword and raised a gust of cold wind. The furniture around him fell to the ground. When Wang Jian raised his head, he had already shot out of the room... The speed was as fast as an arrow, almost making it impossible for people to react. He really deserves to be the wind and snow sword master!


    Oscar sat in prison.


    He was very confused.


    At this time, the paper should have been published, and the paper should be enough to shut everyone up. Zhao Pu and the Snow Wolf mercenaries put a little pressure on him, and the mayor should have let him go.


    What the hell!


    Oscar hadn''t eaten for two days and two nights, and he was dizzy with hunger.


    Suddenly!


    Bang!


    There was a loud noise.


    The fine steel door lock of the iron door was directly cut open by a cold sword. It was made of fine steel, and ordinary warriors couldn''t break it at all. Even a one-eyed man might not be able to do it, but this man cut it like tofu, what a strong Qi.


    The iron gate broke open.


    A handsome man walked in, and the sword was sheathed in an instant, and the appearance of the long sword was completely unrecognizable.


    "Who are you?"


    "Oscar!"


    Feng Zhongmian''s eyes lit up, "Not bad, not bad, although not as handsome as me, you are pleasing to the eye. You really didn''t disappoint me, you are worthy of being the one who developed super rye."


    Does this have anything to do with handsomeness?


    What kind of weird logic is this!


    Oscar felt a few black lines popping up on his head, "Who are you?"


    "I''ve always been a low-key person." Feng Zhongmian smiled shyly, holding the sword in his left hand and gently clasping his fist with his right hand, "The most handsome man in the whole continent, the nemesis of young women, the killer of young girls, a little white dragon in the world, the first swordsman in Snow City, the Feng Zhongmian nicknamed ''Snow Wind Sword Saint'', that''s me!"


    "You are really low-key."


    "No, no."


    Although this lively treasure who looks to be in his thirties has some exaggerated words and deeds, Oscar can feel that he is indeed a top master, far above the one-eyed man.


    Oscar also knows the purpose of Feng Zhongmian''s coming to Baisong Town.


    It must be that his research and cultivation method of "super cold-resistant rye" has been seen and adopted by the Lord of Silver Snow Region. Oscar smiled, Feng Zhongmian came at the right time!


    Feng Zhongmian asked while holding the sword, "By the way, how did you end up like this?

 Chapter 18 Turnaround

    On that day, Baisong Town announced that it would retry Oscar''s case. An hour before the trial, a huge dining table in the hall of the mayor''s house was filled with dishes, including white snake soup, silver mushroom chicken, roast suckling pig, sauced lamb belly, premium musk steak, chopped pepper snow fish...


    Oscar ate and drank without any scruples.


    "Slow down, slow down!"


    The short and fat mayor Wang Jian stood aside, nodding and bowing, with a smile on his face. He held a wine pot in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and carefully filled Oscar''s glass with wine.


    "Mu... Brother Oscar!" Wang Jian said carefully: "I was confused for a moment, so I listened to the instigation of the Jian people and made a big mistake! You, the great man, don''t remember the mistakes of the villain, the great man, don''t remember the mistakes of the villain!"


    Oscar raised his glass and drank it all.


    Wang Jian blinked and quickly drank another glass, patting his chest and saying, "In Baisong Town, whoever dares to mess with you will mess with me, Wang Jian!"


    Oscar buried his head in his food, not raising his head.


    Wang Jian kept muttering.


    Feng Zhongmian sat next to him, not interested in the rich food on the table. He was a complete drunkard and was only interested in fine wine.


    "It''s almost time!"


    "Don''t worry, I will definitely clear your name!"


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Today, at the trial site, the number of media doubled, including major newspapers, magazines, radio stations, Snow Wolf mercenaries, business representatives, and warlock representatives in Baicheng. The entire venue was almost full.


    Alice sat in the front row, nervously holding the corner of her clothes, looking around, looking for Oscar.


    Oscar wore prison clothes and entered from the side door.


    Feng Zhongmian walked beside him with a sword in his arms, and the mayor followed behind him tremblingly.


    The expressions of the Li family members were uglier than each other. If they had known this would happen, no matter what Du Feng said, the Li family would not cause this trouble. Now that they were riding a tiger and couldn''t get off, they had to bite the bullet and go ahead.


    None of the Du family members were present.


    Wang Jian walked to the main judge''s seat, and the accumulated frustration and resentment were released, and he shouted: "Bring them up!"


    The sorcerer who claimed to be the victim was sent up with a horrified face.


    "Do you dare to say it again in public, Oscar plagiarized your spell."


    The sorcerer showed a panic, "Yes... he plagiarized it."


    There was almost no choice but to insist!


    Wang Jian roared: "Bold!"


    The Li family members sat in their seats, each of them looked ashen, and it was obvious that the mayor also stood on Oscar''s side. The Li family was the main maker of evidence, and the so-called "victim" was also fabricated. This matter has attracted great attention from all walks of life, and once it is exposed, everything will be over.


    Li Dahai stood up quickly, shouting like a trapped beast: "Mayor, the evidence is solid and it is an indisputable fact! Oscar is despicable and shameless, a scum, please punish him severely!"


    Wang Jian threw a handful of newspapers in his hand directly on his face, "How do you explain this!"


    The newspapers were all about Oscar''s newly published papers.


    "This person deceived the world and stole the name. Since there was a first time, there must be a second time. This must have been cheated or stolen from other sorcerers. Oscar was addicted to gambling before he was 17 years old. How could he have time to study magic? Please judge impartially and don''t let the evil man go!"


    Li Dahai roared in court, and everyone talked about it.


    The fat on Wang Jian''s face trembled. Seeing Feng Zhongmian closing his eyes to rest, he couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he became furious. This idiot of the Li family is simply ignorant of life and death, and he wants to drag himself into the water. It is simply unforgivable!


    These guys are ready to never admit it. What should I do?


    Oscar showed a hint of sarcasm and interrupted the mayor before he could speak, "Can I say a few words?"


    "Yes, absolutely."


    Oscar walked up to the victim, who was terrified, "You...what are you going to do?"


    Oscar silently recited a spell, opened his palm, and a flame ignited from his palm, "This is the 0-level spell Flame Spell. In fact, the 1-level spell Flame Jet is evolved from this spell." As he said, he shook his hand, extinguished the flame, and stared at the warlock on the ground, "I will submit relevant evidence to verify it later. Since you invented the spell, can you demonstrate the Flame Spell?"


    The whole audience was in an uproar.


    There was a simplified version of the [Flame Spell] before the spell [Flame Jet]. No one had expected this.


    The warlock widened his eyes and sweated profusely.


    "Compared to flame jetting, flame magic is much more low-level and simple. If you want to develop flame jetting, you must first discover flame magic."


    Wang Jian took the opportunity to shout, "Do you know what crime it is to falsely accuse others?"


    The warlock completely collapsed and knelt down with a plop, "Please forgive me, sir, please forgive me! This has nothing to do with me. Boss Li forced me to do it!"If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    "Nonsense!" Li Dahai looked ashen and could only yell hysterically, "You bastard, I will kill you!"


    Wang Jian stood up angrily and waved his hand, "Catch them all!"


    The people of the Li family were all dumbfounded. For an Oscar, the family was ruined. Even if they could escape sanctions this time, they could not continue to stay in Baisong Town.


    "Great!"


    All the Snow Wolf mercenaries, including One-Eye, cheered.


    Alice''s eyes were filled with tears of excitement.


    Wang Jian glanced at Oscar and saw that he was calm. He immediately announced, "Justice is in the hearts of the people. Because of the false accusation of Jian Ren, we almost lost a genius in Baisong Town! Fortunately, it was discovered in time, so no big mistake was made! I apologize to everyone here for this, but please rest assured that no matter who the other party is, this mayor will handle it impartially!"


    Zhenzi wanted to make an impassioned and righteous speech.


    "Fatty, you can get out."


    At this time, a lazy voice sounded.


    The whole audience was silent.


    Everyone was stunned.


    Who dared to talk to the mayor like this.


    Wang Jian also looked embarrassed, "Feng... Lord Feng."


    Feng Zhongmian scratched his ears and said, "Don''t you understand? Do you want me to take you?"


    Wang Jian was about to cry. How could he be the mayor in the future if he didn''t give himself a little face in front of so many people?


    He didn''t dare to talk back to Feng Zhongmian and immediately retreated in disgrace.


    This scene made everyone dumbfounded, even the one-eyed man was stunned. Although Wang Jian was a coward, he would not be so cowardly. What was the origin of this man in his thirties?


    Feng Zhongmian walked to the stage and posed in a cool pose, showing his signature smile, clearing his throat and saying: "I have something special to announce. Although my handsome appearance will steal the limelight no matter where I stand, I have to explain one thing. Today''s protagonist is not me, but Oscar, the second most handsome person present!"


    "Damn, who is this!"


    "This guy is so annoying!"


    Everyone was scratching their heads. Feng Zhongmian''s scratching movements and words immediately caused countless people to be unhappy.


    Feng Zhongmian took out an exquisite gold silk scroll and raised it high above his head. "This is the decree of Lord Silver Snow, specially awarded to Oscar to commend Oscar for his outstanding contribution to Silver Snow Region and even the Northern Alliance!"


    The crowd was completely boiling, and they almost suspected that there was something wrong with their ears!


    The reporters were so excited that they wanted to jump up. This was a big news!


    Lord Silver Snow would personally commend an unknown apprentice warlock?


    Information transmission speed in the chaotic era was slow, and the radius of reputation was limited.


    White City had a certain influence. If the citizens of nearby cities did not pay special attention, they might not have heard of it, let alone the distant Snow City.


    How did the lord know Oscar?


    Feng Zhongmian opened the golden scroll and read aloud: "Oscar, the warlock of Baisong Town, is a genius with a heart for the people. He developed new crops for the Silver Snow Region. This move may save millions of people from famine. It is a feat of infinite merit. Oscar is specially rewarded with 50 million coppers, awarded the Black Iron Medal, and given the status of a lifelong noble!"


    The whole audience was shocked!


    What a high honor this is!


    A huge reward of 50 million copper coins, what a huge number!


    The status of a Black Iron noble, even the mayor of Baisong Town does not have this honor!


    Oscar felt strange. 50 million copper coins were only 50 gold coins. Why was only 50 gold coins given to him out of the huge reward of more than 1,000 gold coins? Did the lord swallow up all the bonus?


    "Thank you, Lord!"


    Oscar pretended to take the scroll and a black medal.


    The medal was a noble status. The Northern Alliance had a strict hierarchy. The noble status was very useful. Only those who had made great contributions could get the noble medal.


    "Congratulations!"


    "Congratulations!"


    There was a burst of laughter from the crowd. A white-haired warlock came out with a young man. They were Zhao Pu and Lan Feng.


    Zhao Pu looked at Oscar deeply. He prepared overnight and rushed to Baisong Town. He originally planned to solve Oscar''s troubles personally, but he didn''t expect that it would not be his turn at all. What secrets were hidden in this young man?


    "Zhao Pu, the famous warlock of Baicheng?"


    "Why is he here too?"


    Everyone was surprised.


    Zhao Pu replied, "I''m here to add icing on the cake."


    No one was sure why.


    Zhao Pu took out an exquisite crystal award, held it high and said, "Oscar published "The Discovery and Basic Application of Light Energy", which has a huge enlightening effect and promoted the progress of the civilization of the art of war. His merits are outstanding and indelible. According to the research of the Warlock Alliance, it was finally decided to award Oscar the White City Warlock [Annual Newcomer King Trophy]!"


    Today was really a climax!


    The media was boiling again.


    There are countless awards in the warlock world for warlocks who have contributed to the art of war. Among them, the Newcomer King is the most important trophy for newcomers, and there is only one every year. Oscar had not won any honors before, but he got the title of Newcomer King directly. This is unprecedented!


    A small trophy.


    It contains huge energy and value!


    Oscar did cause some sensation in the magic world before, but from the moment he picked up the trophy, his name would be recorded in the history of magic, and he would be truly recognized by the White City magic world and become a true young genius.


    "The prize will be delivered in a few days." Zhao Pu put the trophy in Oscar''s hand, "Because of the special circumstances, the trophy was awarded in a hurry. In fact, this trophy is too light for your contribution, please don''t be surprised."


    This is just the highest award among newcomers.


    Oscar''s contribution is more than a newcomer''s level?


    Oscar knew that Zhao Pu was also helping to solve the problem, and it was impossible for him to use a high-level award in a hurry. Oscar didn''t care. He really didn''t care about the trophy. In comparison, he was more interested in the prize.


    "Thank you!"


    "Thank you everyone!"


    Oscar, wearing a prison uniform, held the trophy in his hand high, holding up the highest honor that any young magician dreams of!


    Clap clap clap!


    The whole audience applauded.


    "Master is great!"


    Alice jumped up with joy, her face flushed, she shouted excitedly, and her hands were sore from clapping.


    After being a prisoner for a few minutes, she was now conferred the title of a noble in the North, and even became the new king of magicians in White City!


    This turn of events was too dramatic!


    Li Dahai slumped on the ground, looking decades older.


    The situation was over!


    The Li family confessed to all the crimes, because they were instigated by Du Feng, and they had some resentment towards Oscar, so they directed this drama. Li Dahai was imprisoned as the mastermind, the Li Family Magic Association was ordered to disband, and the Li family packed their bags and left Baisong Town forever.


    This town can no longer stay.


    "Master!"


    Alice shouted, like a young swallow returning to the nest, and threw herself into Oscar''s arms, and others ran over to congratulate him.


    One-Eye was puzzled, "You could have solved the other party''s false accusation last time, why didn''t you take it out?"


    Oscar smiled, "If I don''t make a big deal, how can I eradicate the root of the problem? The Li family is ruined now, but the Li family is just a scapegoat. This matter was provoked by Du Feng. We have a long-standing grudge. I will never forgive him this time!"


    He had just finished speaking.


    "Make way!"


    "Make way!"


    There was a commotion in the crowd.


    A group of people pressed a disheveled, bloody man over.


    Isn''t this Du Feng? How did he get beaten like this!


    Duan came out, full of guilt, and said, "This rebellious son colluded with the people of the Li family to fabricate false evidence. Although it is corroborative evidence, it also has a bad impact on Baisong Town and the reputation of Brother Oscar. Today, I brought him here to apologize to everyone!"


    Duan made a gesture to Du Jian and said sternly, "Break his legs for me!"


    "Yes!"


    "No, no...ah!"


    The Du family really broke Du Feng''s legs in front of everyone.


    Du Feng fell to the ground with blood and flesh, groaning and screaming in pain.


    "This rebellious son has been removed from the family name. I plan to expel him from Baisong Town and never come back. I don''t know if the mayor..."


    Wang Jian saw Du Feng''s miserable appearance, shook his head and sighed, "That''s it, he is never allowed to come back!"


    "Thank you, Mayor, for your mercy!"


    Oscar stood by and looked at Duan. This man was not simple.


    It doesn''t matter. The Du family is no longer a threat. If Duan is a smart man, he won''t be so stupid as to deal with Oscar who is at the peak of his career.


    Oscar''s reputation has reached a new peak after his imprisonment. From then on, Baisong Town has no more obstacles. With the support of his noble status and the support of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries, Oscar''s strength in the town is basically unmatched!

 Chapter 19 Lecture

    Super rye is a treasure that is worth a fortune and can cause agricultural revolution, but it was given away for only 50 gold coins!


    This is because Oscar is a young newcomer and does not have much credibility. Super rye needs to be produced, promoted, and planted in large quantities. As a result, it took several years to verify whether it has defects and whether it can be used. The lord wants a direct solution, so the bonus is relatively small


    Oscar doesn''t care. First of all, super rye is not original. Secondly, 50 gold coins is a huge sum of money that ordinary people can''t earn in their lifetime. It is enough to squander for a while.


    Therefore, he didn''t ask.


    Feng Zhongmian felt a little admiration and affection: "You are an interesting little guy! I am leaving, but I believe we will meet again one day."


    Oscar felt strange, "You came all the way from Snow City, and you are leaving so soon?"


    "Hey, don''t think too much." Feng Zhongmian shrugged and put on a signature narcissistic expression, "Don''t you think about it, a man who has money and strength, and is talented and handsome, will I go to work as a messenger for you? Baisong Town is just on the way, my ultimate goal is the north."


    Oscar said with an "oh", "Are you going to the Frost Highlands?"


    There are no villages or towns in the north.


    About 240 kilometers is the Frost Highlands, which is a high-altitude and cold area where no one lives!


    The high altitude, low temperature, and barren land make it impossible for humans to live. It is a real no-man''s land, in fact, it is a "human-free zone" to be precise. The bad natural environment is secondary. The main reason is that there is a savage and fierce race living in the Frost Highlands - the Orcs, the eternal enemy of the human race!


    Feng Zhongmian still smiled and said nonchalantly, "Recently, some bastards have been farting in my ears, saying that the highland race is brave and good at fighting. I don''t believe it, so I''m going to try it."


    One person, one sword, alone in the highlands.


    This kind of person is either a lunatic or a megalomaniac, and the combination of the two is Feng Zhongmian.


    "I hope that your strength will be improved when we meet again." Feng Zhongmian felt that Oscar was quite to his liking. He unscrewed the wine gourd and drank a sip of wine, turned his head and left, "That''s it, no more words, goodbye!"


    "See you later!"


    Oscar changed his clothes and left the court.


    Everyone shouted excitedly, and Alice gave him a big hug to celebrate!


    This series of changes made people dazzled. Although they didn''t react a little, they were more happy and delighted.


    Oscar patted Alice on the back and said with a smile: "It''s okay."


    One-Eye shouted: "Let''s have a carnival in the tavern tonight! Celebrate Oscar''s safe return!"


    "Good!"


    The mercenaries shouted in unison.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    The impact of this incident is still continuing, and it seems to be getting more and more heated.


    In the past ten days, various media outlets have been competing to report:


    "Warlock Financial Report": "Shocking news: Oscar submitted five spells, and the sales of spells have reached 80,000 silver coins. The monthly sales are expected to be 120,000 silver coins, which will break the sales record of level 1 spells! A teenage apprentice has become a rich man!"


    "White City Daily": "Level 1 spell [Iron Repair] has become a must-have spell for mercenaries and adventurers! The average daily sales of spells reached 1,500 silver coins! Successfully broke the record!"


    "Nalan Family News": "The Nalan family increased its investment in Xueyan Company and promoted Xueyan Company''s first product [Meditation Incense]!"


    "White City Business Daily": "Nalan''s Xueyan Company purchased meditation grass on a large scale and spent a lot of money to acquire the largest material processing plant in Baicheng to prepare for large-scale assembly line production. The emergence of meditation incense will subvert the meditation grass market."


    "Sage": "The Sage Tower took the lead in opening up the light energy project and once again achieved important results. Thank you to Oscar!"


    "White City Radio": "Today''s special topic, the winner of the Rookie of the Year trophy - Oscar!"


    ...


    One piece of shocking news after another.


    Let Oscar be pushed to the forefront!


    A dramatic storm.


    Let the story be more legendary!


    Everyone in the streets and alleys is talking about it, and Oscar is even more talked about.


    If [Meditation Incense] began to establish a reputation among the lower-level warlocks, then the publication of "The Discovery and Basic Application of Light Energy" directly let Oscar''s name spread to the ears of high-level warlocks.


    The Academy Alliance sent the paper to various cities and regions, and weekly magazines, newspapers, and magazines published it for the second time, thereby expanding the influence of the Academy Alliance.


    This paper was deliberately written in a rough and immature way, but it proved the basic laws of light energy and opened a small breakthrough for warlocks who study light magic.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.


    That''s enough.


    Oscar won the White City Newcomer King trophy for this, and won praise from many famous warlocks. Major forces have extended olive branches, and some famous masters even want to directly accept Oscar as a disciple. Of course, Oscar declined politely!


    After being acquitted, Oscar was extremely low-key, staying at home and not accepting interviews or visits from any scholars. He practiced at home every day or taught Alice magic knowledge. Oscar will not do anything too eye-catching in the short term, otherwise it will attract the attention of certain forces, which is not good!


    Half a month passed in a flash.


    February 22, 1004 in the new calendar.


    Early spring.


    The weather is getting warmer.


    In an ordinary room in the Snow Wolf Hotel, an impatient shout rang out: "Get up! Get up quickly!"


    Another confused voice said: "Don''t make trouble! I didn''t sleep enough!"


    "Today is the time for the idol to give a lecture!"


    "So soon?"


    "This opportunity doesn''t come every day!"


    "Yes, yes!"


    Two teenagers in college robes immediately got dressed and went out. Now the corridor is in a mess, and more than a dozen rooms are full of warlocks. Their situations are similar to those of the teenagers. They all get up in a hurry, fearing that they will miss something.


    At the end of the corridor, a door opens.


    A woman wearing black-framed warlock glasses, tall, dignified, beautiful, and wearing a water-blue robe walks out, holding several thick magic books in her hands. Beautiful women always attract attention, especially a big beauty who is a disaster to the country and the people.


    Suddenly, the air solidified, and she became the focus of everyone''s attention.


    "Qin... Teacher Qin!"


    "Isn''t this Teacher Qin?"


    The two teenagers were startled.


    The two of them skipped classes for ten consecutive days, and they felt a little guilty. The school rules of the college are strict. If they are caught skipping classes without reason, they will definitely be severely punished!


    Qin Yue adjusted her glasses, her beautiful eyes swept over the two of them, and said lightly: "Don''t be nervous, I also came here on strike. Is he going to give a lecture today?"


    All teachers are on strike?


    Great!


    The two of them introduced themselves enthusiastically: "Yes, generally, there is a class every three days!"


    Another person said: "It''s right for Teacher Qin to come here, and he will never let you down!"


    "Stop talking, let''s go!"


    Qin Yue still needs to maintain a reserved and steady image in front of students, so she tried to hide her excitement - finally she could see her idol!


    A few streets away from the tavern, there is an exquisite courtyard residence.


    It is very close to the hotel, and there are mercenary residences nearby. The environment is safe and suitable for living. After Oscar spent 120,000 copper coins to buy it, he stayed at home all day and practiced hard for more than half a month. Now he has broken through to the level of a 6-ring apprentice.


    Alice prepared a charcoal stove, paper, pen, books, various tools, and brought a bench.


    Outside the courtyard wall, there was a lot of discussion.


    "Goddess Mu Alice is out!"


    "Wow, is this Mu Alice? As rumored, she is a great beauty!"


    "Mu Alice has appeared, there must be a class today!"


    "Brothers and sisters, front row seats for sale, only 5 silver coins! It''s a rare opportunity, don''t miss it!"


    "..."


    There was a commotion outside.


    Alice felt conflicted, happy and distressed.


    She was proud of the young master, these people all came to eavesdrop on the lecture!


    This story started half a month ago.


    At that time, Alice worked in a herbal medicine store and met a girl who was only a few years older than her. In order to study, she was poor and miserable. The girl wanted to learn about herbs so that she could find a job with income, but she couldn''t even afford some books on medicine.


    Alice was kind by nature, and immediately copied a copy of her notes from studying with Oscar to the girl.


    A few days later.


    The girl wrote several research papers, all of which were selected by authoritative pharmacy journals, and received a large sum of money. At the same time, she was noticed by a famous pharmacist and was directly accepted as his personal disciple. She instantly became a phoenix from a sparrow.


    A completely poor apprentice, let alone professional academic journals, her usual articles are shitty, and I am afraid she is not even qualified for entertainment daily!


    Alice felt happy to do a good thing!


    As a result, the news spread, and a large number of warlocks came to study. How could Oscar have time to teach? After being rejected, they began to choose to eavesdrop. Oscar was kind and deliberately put the teaching location in the yard so that people outside could hear it easily.


    Unexpectedly, the number of people increased.


    Eventually, the current result was caused.


    Because she felt that she had caused trouble for the young master, Alice felt bad.


    "It''s out!"


    "It''s out!"


    There was an excited shout outside the wall, and someone was busy making a silent gesture


    When Oscar walked out, the noisy sound outside stopped abruptly.


    People kept poking their heads out, like thieves.


    There were too many "thieves", and there were a lot of people!


    Oscar was helpless.


    "Master, outside..."


    Alice was stared at by countless eyes and felt uncomfortable all over.


    "Don''t worry about them, let''s start the class. Turn to page 101 of "Basic Pharmacy". I''ll review it for you first."


    Alice opened a thick book.


    A small call came from outside.


    "Did you hear that? "Basic Pharmacy"..."


    "Page 101..."


    "I don''t have a book, who can lend it to me so we can read it together."


    Wow! Wow!


    There was a sound of flipping books outside!


    Oscar almost vomited blood!


    Damn it!


    How many people are there!


    Those guys won''t occupy the entire street!


    Alice felt embarrassed.


    Oscar comforted her with his eyes, and then began to review. After reviewing once, he asked: "As usual, I will ask a few questions. If you answer correctly, we will learn new content."


    Alice nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Alice is ready!"


    Oscar smiled and said: "You are quite confident!"


    "Goddess Alice, you must succeed!"


    "Whether there is new content today depends on you!"


    "Goddess Alice, come on! Goddess Alice, come on!"


    Sparse voices sounded outside, and Alice''s face suddenly turned red.


    "Let''s start!"


    "Yeah!"


    Oscar asked three questions in a row, several basic theoretical structures, which did not appear in the textbooks, and several formula conversions were tested, and the process was very complicated.


    Everyone whispered.


    I couldn''t help but worry, it seemed difficult, what if Alice couldn''t answer?


    Qin Yue mixed in the crowd, standing out from the crowd, very conspicuous.


    Although it was late, money makes the world go round. Qin Yue spent a few silver coins and bought a front row seat. At this moment, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she was writing something quickly on the manuscript with a pen. The question was very cleverly set. It seemed simple, but it was actually very complicated.


    How to solve this?


    When Qin Yue was thinking.


    "I figured it out!"


    Alice''s crisp voice rang out in the yard, and she answered every question fluently.


    Qin Yue was shocked.


    The girl did not use a pen to convert but got the result mentally. Although she was a beginner, her understanding was amazing!


    You know, Qin Yue is also a famous genius in Baicheng!


    Oscar nodded: "Absolutely correct, very good!"


    There was a burst of applause outside, and they seemed to be happier than Alice.


    Oscar was not very happy, and stood up and shouted: "If you make a sound again, I will call someone!"


    Everyone quickly shut up. If the rude mercenary was called, then don''t think about listening to the class anymore.


    "Now we''re going to test you on pharmacy knowledge!"


    Oscar listed some herbs and asked Alice to describe their ingredients, names, usage, pairing, etc.


    Alice memorized them by heart.


    The people outside were very surprised. Some of the herbs were recorded in pharmacy books, but the details were far less than what Alice said. Some of the herbs were not even recorded, and they were unheard of. If they were sorted out, they would definitely be able to publish several pharmacy papers!


    Everyone was very excited.


    Write it down immediately.


    "Well, you have mastered it well. Let''s start learning new content. Today we will talk about something a little more advanced, about the basic nature of water energy. This is real magic knowledge, and you must remember it well to lay a good foundation for learning and studying water magic in the future."


    Alice didn''t dare to neglect it. Her little face was tight and she was completely in the state.

 Chapter 20 Distressed Qin Yue

    Water is one of the five elements. It becomes ice when it condenses and gas when it boils.


    Oscar explained: "Ice and gas spells are actually derivatives of water spells."


    Alice found it incredible and said: "There are ice and gas spells in the world?"


    Modern magic has only two major factions: the five elements and life. The rest of the energy has no theoretical framework, and the spells created by chance are all called miscellaneous spells.


    "The modern ice and gas systems are imperfect and cannot be read, but I think they must exist!"


    "Water is the most ideal carrier of water energy, but water energy is not limited to this. In fact, any liquefied state of matter has a certain amount of water energy, it''s just a matter of how much."


    "This greatly increases the changes in spells, because each substance has its own characteristics. When special liquid substances are mixed into ordinary spells, as long as they are compatible with spells, they will immediately achieve unexpected special effects. Let me give you an example. Water ball spell is a level 1 spell with very weak lethality. As long as the spell template is modified to produce strong acid in the water ball, it can cause corrosion effects, or use highly toxic substances to cause toxin attack effects!"


    "..."


    Oscar talked about the wonderful uses of water system, briefly described it, and explained the development direction of 15 water system spells in total. He was concise and imaginative, and had a very high enlightenment!


    This is very shocking!


    When everyone was stunned and intoxicated!


    Oscar said something that could cause a sensation: "Nowadays, it is generally believed that water and fire are incompatible. Is this true?"


    Alice had long forgotten the people outside and asked quickly, "Can water and fire be fused?"


    Yes!


    How can water and fire be compatible?


    Everyone was anxious and wanted to hear the answer quickly.


    Oscar pulled out the dagger from his waist, placed it in front of Alice, and said with a smile: "Then let me ask you, if steel is melted, do you think it is water or fire?"


    Alice began to ponder, "Steel melts and becomes liquid. Liquid substances have certain water energy characteristics, but they also have a burning effect, which is an effect that only fire has. The essence is still gold, this..."


    Oscar put the sword back into the sheath: "On the third element carrier, there is fire in water and water in fire. If we study it based on this, perhaps in the future there will be a new school of magic-melting."


    Everyone opened their mouths wide!


    Melting system?


    Is this really possible?


    The melting magic is a small school, it really exists. Some volcanoes or lava lakes on the continent can breed special life. In addition, there is a lava demon in the demon clan, all of which are good at melting magic and very powerful.


    The structure of melting magic is complex, with gold or earth as the basis, integrating enough fire energy, and finally controlling water energy to form melting magic.


    These are too advanced, it is normal for ordinary people to not accept them.


    Oscar did not elaborate.


    "I have said so much, just want to express one point, the art is infinite, the changes are endless, the textbook is dead, and people are alive, don''t be nailed down by the rules and regulations in the book, the book is also written by people, not necessarily all right." Oscar paused, then continued: "The digression ends here, you have to start from the basics, and the class starts now."


    Oscar began to lecture, there was no profound concept from beginning to end, it was purely the basics of the basics.


    90 minutes.


    A full 90 minutes!


    Very quiet, only the sound of copying!


    Everyone held their breath, afraid of missing a word!


    It was unimaginable and unbelievable. The basic knowledge was so simple and easy to understand, and it was expanded to such an extent. Everyone felt that they had learned the art for many years in vain!


    Damn it!


    She didn''t even understand the most basic things!


    Qin Yue was like a fool. She was an art fanatic. She once spent a lot of money to go to Xuecheng to attend a lecture by a famous warlock, just to understand the advanced knowledge of the art. Now it seems that this is stupid. She didn''t even master the basics!


    I really want to find a place to cry.


    On the one hand, she was happy to hear such a wonderful lecture, which made her gain a lot.


    On the other hand, she was sad. She thought she was good, but she didn''t even master the most basic things. She is a lecturer in the Warlock Academy. She is really ashamed to think about this!


    Oscar stretched his arms and legs, stood up and said, "Each spell contains infinite mysteries. Even if I give a thousand lectures, I can''t even begin to explain the tip of the iceberg. I can only guide you to get started. Nature is the eternal teacher. That''s all for today. If I say too much, you won''t be able to accept it. Let''s go back to the room."


    Alice quickly packed up her notes and went back to the room.


    There was a commotion outside.


    "It''s wonderful!"


    "It''s so good!"


    "He''s a hundred times better than the college teacher!"


    The students of Baicheng College cheered.


    Suddenly someone remembered something, "Hey, Teacher Qin teaches the water system!"


    "No!"


    The students were just too proud of themselves, and now they were shocked by the reminder.Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.


    Qin Yue was not angry because she decided to resign when she returned!


    And she was a shitty teacher!


    It was too discouraging!


    Qin Yue was a 16th-ring warlock at a young age. She was a well-known genius in Baicheng, and she was particularly specialized in the water system, so her understanding was more profound. Oscar''s basic course, with simple content, gave her a huge harvest, but she still had some questions and thoughts, and still felt like she was looking at flowers in the fog.


    Is this the feeling of the great way to simplicity?


    She had a strong urge to kick the door open, rush into the room, strangle Oscar, and ask him everything clearly.


    However, reason stopped her.


    Qin Yue took a deep breath, her chest rose and fell, and her clothes were about to burst. This scene made the people around her blood boil.


    When streams of cold air flowed into her body, her hot brain calmed down a little.


    Oscar''s understanding of the art is no worse than that of the master!


    Qin Yue was convinced and really wanted to get to know him!


    Even if she was willing to be an apprentice, Oscar would sooner or later surpass the famous magician in White City!


    After a heated discussion, everyone dispersed.


    Qin Yue was very entangled. After wandering for thirty minutes, she finally couldn''t help it. It was too uncomfortable, it was simply torture!


    Those two round and slender legs were completely out of control and walked step by step towards Oscar''s door. The two mercenaries stared at the beautiful and charming mercenary and were stunned at the same time.


    There is such a beauty in this broken town?


    The chest, legs, waist, buttocks, and face are really amazing, she is simply a stunner...


    The mercenaries were stunned for several seconds before they realized that the other party was getting closer and closer. One of the mercenaries woke up and bumped his companion with his elbow. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Stop, you can''t enter here!"


    Qin Yue showed an anxious expression, took out a handful of silver coins from her purse and handed them to the mercenary, begging, "Please, I want to see Oscar."


    Money and beauty, double temptation!


    The mercenary swallowed a handful of saliva and said with difficulty, "No... No, we don''t see guests here, let''s go!"


    Qin Yue''s repeated requests were in vain.


    She rejected countless people in her life, but she never thought that she would be rejected one day.


    She walked down the street in dejection, Oscar''s voice echoing in her mind. How much knowledge does he have, and how many unique insights does he have? Qin Yue seemed to have lost her soul. She returned to the hotel, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling with her eyes.


    She didn''t want to drink tea or eat, and lay down until late at night.


    She couldn''t sleep.


    She was just in a daze.


    Qin Yue clenched her fists, stood up suddenly, rubbed her hair hard, and then stared at the enchanting and plump figure in the mirror, and said to herself, "Hmph, I don''t believe it, I must see you!"


    There is nothing in the world that can attract her more than magic, and nothing can stop her from learning magic!


    In the next few days, a large number of constructive articles will emerge in Baicheng newspapers and journals, causing a certain impact.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    On the other side, when Oscar finished his class, he began to practice, and practiced until dusk.


    "There are a few warlocks outside the door!"


    As soon as Oscar went out, a mercenary came to report the news.


    Could it be that he came to study?


    Oscar is not stingy with knowledge. Once he makes an exception, countless people will follow suit, and Oscar will never have peace. This is the trouble of becoming famous!


    The mercenary said: "They claim to be sent by Zhao Pu of Baicheng to present you with prizes and share the income from spells."


    "Really? Then please come in!"


    Several elegantly dressed warlocks came in. They were all formal warlocks above 10 rings. However, when facing Oscar, who only had 6 rings, no one dared to neglect them. They were all polite.


    "Hello, Oscar, the warlock apprentice!" A middle-aged man came over, gave a warlock salute, and introduced himself, "We are from the Warlock Alliance!"


    The Warlock Alliance is not a private force, but a public organization composed of major forces at the same time. Its existence value is to promote the development of the art of war and to be responsible for safeguarding the rights and interests of warlocks, such as knowledge protection, results and benefits, etc.


    The warlock honors and awards are most authoritatively determined by the Warlock Alliance.


    The Oscar-winning [Newcomer King] trophy is actually one of the trophies specially set up by the Art Alliance to support newcomers. In addition, there are the Best Newcomer of the Year, the Rising Star Trophy, the Supernova Trophy, the Water Honor Trophy, the Fire Honor Trophy... Different awards have different numbers and weights.


    Every year, many awards are left unused, including the [Newcomer King] trophy. Although this trophy is given once a year, no one has won it for three years. It''s not that the Art Alliance is stingy, but that no one is qualified.


    This is the highest honor for the new warlocks in White City, not something that can be obtained by any cat or dog!


    "Congratulations on winning the award." The middle-aged warlock took out an exquisite mithril box, "This is the prize prepared by the Art Alliance. I hope you will continue to work hard and contribute to the development of the art!"


    A ring made of refined gold as the main material and inlaid with broken crystals appeared in the box.


    Oscar looked at the ring, which was engraved with runes and had a line of small characters on the inside, "New Calendar 1004 - White City Rookie King - Oscar". The whole ring exuded a faint energy fluctuation. It was not just a souvenir, but also had actual value.


    A spellcasting item, equivalent to a warlock''s weapon!


    There was a note in the box, explaining the forging materials and effects. The ring was called [White City Star], which was a metaphor for Oscar''s status in White City. Its effect could improve the spellcasting ability of 3 rings.


    There were differences in strength between 0-level spells.


    A 9-ring spell.


    A 1-ring spell.


    Both were 0-level apprentice spells, and the former was definitely stronger than the latter.


    This [White City Star] could improve the spellcasting ability of 3 rings, allowing Oscar to construct a 9-ring spell with 6-ring mana, and become a 7-ring warlock in the future, so that he could use 10-ring spells.


    However, the effect is not constant. The higher the level of the wearer, the lower the effect. A 10th-level warlock can only improve the spellcasting ability by 2 rings, and a 20th-level warlock can only improve the spellcasting ability by 1 ring. When the strength exceeds 25 rings, it will not work.


    This prize is so-so.


    Oscar took a look at the material list. A small ring costs dozens of gold coins!


    The magic alliance can be regarded as respecting Oscar.


    Next is to give money.


    An important responsibility of the magic alliance is to protect the legitimate interests of warlocks.


    For example: an organization or businessman buys warlocks'' spells, knowledge, and other knowledge achievements for commercial operations. In the end, they deliberately default on the remuneration and violate the fees that should be paid in the contract, causing the warlock''s rights and interests to be damaged. The victim can apply for protection from the magic alliance and let the magic alliance defend the dignity and rights of the warlock.


    When Oscar sold the spell to the Academy Alliance, he was eligible for 1% of the share in the contract.


    This legal income is supervised and protected by the magic alliance!


    The first month''s sales report is out.


    A total of 25,210 learning times, 5 silver coins each time, a total income of 126,050 silver coins, according to the 1% total share standard, Oscar will get 1,260 silver coins, part of which will be given to the magic alliance as protection fees, about 1 gold coin in hand!


    When the data was said.


    Several warlocks showed envy.


    These five spells sold really well. Although the share ratio was not high, the other party was only an apprentice warlock, so it can be said that there was a bright future!


    With the explosive growth this month, the sales of spells began to decline. The spell market is saturated to a certain extent. Another key factor is that it is too popular. It is not a complicated level 1 spell. Some underground spell organizations cracked the spell template and began to sell pirated copies. Most people went to learn pirated copies secretly to save money.


    Of course, Oscar will not share money with pirated copies.


    Although the sales of spells have declined sharply, with the strength of the alliance and the promotion of the academy platform, it will gradually spread to the outer city, and there will still be good and stable revenue in one or two years.


    Oscar has 50 gold coins from the Lord Award, and 1 gold coin from selling spells. Now he is worth 51 gold coins. If there is a rich list in Baisong Town, this wealth will definitely be in the top five.


    Several warlocks have just left.


    Alice wiped the trophy clean and put it in the most conspicuous place in the house together with the trophy box.


    Although Oscar doesn''t care about it, it is indeed Alice''s pride.


    The young master has made progress.


    If the lady is still alive, she will be very happy.


    A mercenary came to the door and delivered an invitation.


    Oscar opened the invitation: "Wang Jian''s family dinner invitation?"


    "Yes, the mayor will hold a family dinner tomorrow night. Brother Oscar is the only noble in the town. Does he dare not invite you?"


    Oscar has no good impression of this idiot mayor.


    However, living in Baisong Town, it is inevitable to interact with each other. Since Wang Jian took the initiative to curry favor with him, Oscar had no reason to refuse. He just took it as taking Alice to see the world, so he sent an invitation and agreed to attend the banquet.

 Chapter 21 Birthday Dinner

    The next evening, Oscar put on a brand new white robe and prepared to take Alice to attend the mayor''s wife''s birthday dinner.


    "I''m ready."


    Alice wore a fashionable green coat and tight leather pants, which outlined her slender legs, round and plump buttocks, tied a refreshing ponytail with a bow headband, and had beautiful bangs. The girl''s youthful beauty was fully interpreted.


    Alice was a little embarrassed and said with a red face: "Is it ugly?"


    Oscar knocked on the girl''s head and said: "Be a little confident, okay, let''s go!"


    When they arrived at the mayor''s house, they saw lights and decorations, gongs and drums, and firecrackers. People came and went in a very lively manner. Soldiers were used to maintain order, and the door was full of gifts of all sizes.


    Oscar looked a little weird, and said angrily: "This Wang Jian is really unreliable. It''s just an ordinary birthday, why make it so fancy?"


    Alice came over and whispered: "You can''t remember some things. In fact, everyone knows that the mayor is afraid of his wife. If his wife is unhappy, he might be beaten black and blue again."


    "There is such a thing?" Oscar was speechless, and said with a hint of sneer: "That fat guy is really a coward. I am beginning to sympathize with him!"


    The Snow Wolf Mercenary Group is unscrupulous and never takes Wang Jian seriously. They just shit on the mayor''s head. That''s fine, who told the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group to have a strong backstage? Now he can''t even control his wife. He didn''t dare to take a concubine for 20 years, and he was beaten black and blue by his wife every other day.


    What kind of person is the mayor''s wife?


    Such a fierce woman is rare. Wang Jian has a certain social status, and he is still riding on his head by his wife. It is really a strange story.


    This dinner was very well planned. The best chef was hired at a high price. A band was invited from Baicheng to perform live. There were also opera performances and acrobatics. Wang Jian did not dare to be careless at all. Oscar was a hot new star in the art of art. His appearance at the dinner today undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention. People from all walks of life came forward to talk, hoping to leave a good impression.


    Oscar was calm and indifferent.


    "Isn''t this Brother Mu?"


    A steady and slightly hoarse voice came.


    This is a middle-aged man, tall, wearing a black suit, the clothes are straight, as if they were permed, without any wrinkles, full of golden hair, combed neatly, every hair is in order, and there are some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes when he smiles, but his eyes are calm and deep, with a sense of stability.


    Oscar did not expect that this person would take the initiative to say hello.


    He is the head of the Du family in Baisong Town, Du Feng''s father - Duan!


    Duan held a wine glass, raised his hand to Oscar, and said with a smile: "Du wanted to visit several times, but unfortunately you were so focused on cultivation that you didn''t give me a chance to meet. It''s really a pity."


    Du Feng was sent away after his legs were broken. Although it was his own fault, it was Oscar who directly caused it. Oscar didn''t think Duan would have a good impression of him.


    "Boss Du, you are too kind."


    Seeing Oscar was a little wary, Duan smiled bitterly and said: "I know that the rebellious son is ignorant and has offended you. It''s also my fault for not educating him well. The Du family will definitely give you satisfactory compensation for this matter. I am just a simple businessman without any ambitions, and Mu Xiaoyou is a genius with unlimited future. I hope you don''t hate us for this."


    Oscar was a little surprised by this humble attitude.


    Whether he said this in public or not, this person is not simple.


    "No need for compensation. As long as no one bothers me, I will naturally not take the initiative to bother others."


    "If you say that, Mr. Du will be relieved." Duan pulled Oscar to sit at a table and said excitedly, "I am planning to do some material and medicinal materials business. Is Oscar interested in cooperation?"


    "I am still working in the Snow Wolf Mercenary and will not leave for the time being."


    "That''s a pity!"


    Duan is not me. He is always polite and talks about trivial matters and anecdotes. At the same time, he has repeatedly expressed his intention to recruit. He is sincere and generous, a steady person, completely different from his son.


    Oscar noticed the pattern on Duan''s clothes. It was a ferocious venomous snake. Using the image of a venomous snake to make a family totem?


    What did the ancestors of this family do?


    The dinner lasted for a while.


    Wang Jian came out with his wife. The fat man was dressed very formally, but his bloated image was not flattering.Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    The fierce woman rumored by the outside world is actually a first-class beauty. The mayor''s wife is in her early forties. She probably practices martial arts and has a way to keep her youth. She looks only thirty years old, with fair skin, tall and plump, without a single wrinkle. There is a mole next to her red lips, which is just right to embellish her mature beauty.


    Although she behaves dignified, from her eyebrows and expressions, she is a rather fierce woman.


    Seeing Oscar showing a hint of strangeness, Duan immediately introduced: "The mayor''s wife is Lin Bairong, and she was once the most beautiful woman in the town."


    Oscar was very surprised and said, "The most beautiful woman in the town actually married that fat guy?"


    Duan smiled but said nothing.


    No wonder the fat guy didn''t dare to offend his wife. Wang Jian looked shabby, but he had a wife who looked like a fairy. Of course, he had to treat her like a baby.


    At this moment, Wang Jian hugged his wife''s willow waist, walked over with a smile on his face, and was greeting everyone. It was simply a combination of beauty and the beast.


    Wang Jian walked up to the two of them, his face full of fat, and said with a smile: "Let me introduce you, this is my wife Lin Bairong. Boss Du doesn''t need to introduce me anymore, this Oscar is a Black Iron Noble!"


    Lin Bairong''s beautiful eyes were very bright and charming. She stared at Oscar for a long time before saying: "You must be the popular Oscar Warlock, you are really a hero at a young age!"


    Oscar stood up politely: "Madam, you are too kind."


    "Don''t be modest, the Newcomer King trophy is not easy to get. Only two people in the history of Baisong Town have won this honor, and the first one was 20 years ago." Lin Bairong was silent, as if she was recalling something in the past, and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, you are quite similar, especially the outstanding achievements you have made at a young age."


    Oscar was a little interested, "Who is this person?"


    "His name is Liu Rufeng." Lin Bairong showed a nostalgic look, "A real magic genius, he left the town 20 years ago and never came back. Your talent is not inferior to his, and the town is too small for people like you. Sooner or later, you will go to a farther place, maybe we will meet one day."


    Wang Jian interrupted, "Xiaofeng has been gone for many years, who knows if he is still here!"


    "Nonsense!" Lin Bairong was furious, raised her high heels on the spot and stepped hard on Wang Jian. Wang Jian''s face turned red and he almost cried out. Lin Bairong was completely without the dignity just now, her eyebrows were raised, and she pinched Wang Jian''s ears and said, "If you talk nonsense again, I will pull out your tongue!"


    "I, I, I..." Wang Jian was about to cry, "What I mean is that Xiaofeng is so talented, if he was in the North, he would definitely become a famous magician. How could there be no news in the past 20 years? He must have left the North!"


    Lin Bairong''s face improved slightly.


    Wang Jian said it in a more tactful way. It was unlikely that he would leave the Northland. If he hadn''t left, Liu Rufeng would have become a famous sorcerer. For twenty years, the couple had inquired many times, but there was no news. When Liu''s father died of illness two years ago, Lin Bairong gave all the funeral expenses.


    That talented young man is probably dead.


    Wang Jian didn''t want to talk about the topic, and said flatteringly: "I''ve prepared a few programs, all of which you like..."


    Lin Bairong raised her head slightly, "Really? Then I''ll take a look!"


    Wang Jian smiled charmingly: "I will definitely satisfy you, I will definitely satisfy you!"


    Lin Bairong likes musicals and dramas. Several dramas at the dinner were all adapted from stories of the rise of the era. The protagonist is a crucial hero in the history of the rise of the human race. His real name is unknown, and people call him "Human Emperor". The content of this drama is a love story that the legendary Human Emperor experienced.


    Alice found it fresh and enjoyed watching it.


    Oscar yawned all the time.


    Oscar is not interested in drama, music, or art. The only thing that can make Oscar obsessed is the art of art.


    The story is at the ** stage.


    When the hero and the evil dark demon king are in a desperate duel, they are almost going to die together. The soundtrack becomes louder and the actors are struggling to perform. Lin Bairong and Alice are excited.


    It''s like traveling through history and returning to the dark period of 20,000 years, when the human race was almost exterminated several times. In the end, countless heroes and great men led the human race everywhere, revolted generously, overthrew the alien race, and opened up a vigorous civilization.


    At this moment.


    "Mr. Mayor!"


    A very shrill scream sounded at the door, bringing the musical to an abrupt end!


    Wang Jian looked unhappy and angrily said, "Who is making noise!"


    A ragged old man cried and shouted to rush in, but was stopped by two soldiers. He cried with tears in his eyes, "Mayor, help me! Help me! Sir!"


    Wang Jian was even more upset when he saw that it was a civilian who disturbed the dinner. "You, a troublemaker, dare to disturb the dinner, drag him out!"


    The old man shouted loudly, "My two sons are missing! Please, mayor, you must save them!"


    "This old man is really unreasonable." Wang Jian was even more annoyed when he heard this, "Your son is missing, what does it have to do with me! Drag him away!"


    "Mayor!"


    "Mayor!"


    "Help! Mayor!"


    The old man was dragged away.


    At this time, a guard came to Wang Jian''s ear and said, "Mr. Mayor, I think things are really strange. In three days, more than a hundred people came to report that someone in their family is missing."


    "What?" Wang Jian was surprised, "More than a hundred people?"


    There are monsters and demons in the north, and it is very dangerous outside. It is not strange for someone to disappear occasionally. It happens almost every day. However, such a large number of disappearances is by no means a simple incident. There must be some reason.


    Could it be that there is a powerful monster wandering around Baisong Town.


    "Forget it, take your team to check if there are any clues left around here!"


    "Yes!"


    Wang Jian was very disappointed and the dinner ended early.


    When Alice went back, she was depressed and silent.


    Oscar couldn''t help asking, "What''s wrong with you? Wasn''t the dinner party fun tonight?"


    "The show was very exciting, Alice liked it very much." Alice said worriedly, "It''s just that the old man is so pitiful, the mayor won''t beat him. The old man''s son is missing, it''s pitiful enough."


    Oscar knew Alice was kind, and comforted her, "Wang Jian may be a idiot, but he is not a cruel person. I don''t think he will harm an old man, so don''t worry."


    The two returned to their residence.


    "Boy!"


    Oscar heard a familiar voice in his ears, it was the one-eyed man he hadn''t seen for a few days.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "The investigation of that matter has already yielded results."


    Oscar was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Have you found zombies?"


    One-eyed nodded and replied, "A brother has found their traces in a forest these two days. We will set out tomorrow to investigate. I repeat, the wild is not like the town. If you leave the city wall, I can''t guarantee your safety."


    Alice was terrified when she heard that Oscar was leaving the town, "Yes, everyone says there are monsters outside the town that eat people! Young master, please don''t go, okay?"


    Oscar saw that Alice was worried and scared, and immediately comforted her, "Half a day, I''ll go half a day, the place is not far at all, nothing will happen."


    Zombies are extremely powerful and have higher combat effectiveness than ordinary mercenaries.


    Oscar wanted to catch a few zombies. Once they were tamed, they would be loyal and their strength would not be inferior to that of formal warriors. They could provide close protection for Oscar and Alice. Such dead people are sometimes more reliable than living people.

 Chapter 22 Cabin in the Woods

    The next day.


    Oscar began to pack his equipment, bison leather armor, snow cape, gloves, hat, goggles, mask, short sword on his waist, 15 homemade talismans in his talisman pocket, and 5 potions in his potion belt.


    Everything is ready!


    "Let''s go!"


    The town wall is 7 meters high, made of stone, very solid, with pointed wooden walls, and crossbowmen on guard. The gate has two layers, and there is an eight-foot deep ditch outside the wall, full of sharp iron spikes, and hanging kerosene channels, which can spray fuel at any time to create a flame defense line.


    A small town has complete fortifications, mainly to prevent the orcs from the highlands from attacking the city.


    Three snowmobiles left the town through the north gate.


    The wilderness is a barren plain, all black frozen soil. Although there are several farms and logging sites, there are no people. 10 kilometers away from the town, the plain ends abruptly and is basically covered by dense forests and mountains. There is no smoke and fire in sight.


    The towering snow-capped mountains stand in the distance, stretching for dozens of miles, white and transparent, dust-free, like a beautiful and pure virgin. This is the wilderness, the primitive frozen northern border.


    Oscar, One-Eye, and 4 elite mercenaries participated in the operation.


    One-Eye used a knife, and the other four, two used swords and two used bows, with close combat and long-range attack.


    The snowmobile had no obstruction all the way and arrived at an outpost in 30 minutes. More than a dozen soldiers were stationed in an 8-meter stone outpost to monitor the activities of Warcraft and Orcs. It was also one of the transit points for mercenaries.


    There was a forest in front, and there was no road.


    We had to walk instead.


    A mercenary with a bow came over and said, "Hey, first time out of town?"


    Oscar smiled and agreed.


    The mercenary smiled and said, "The place is not too far away, we won''t encounter powerful monsters, and even fewer demons, don''t worry!"


    Another mercenary said, "Pfft, what if we encounter them? We are all elites, we have killed dozens of monsters, and the one-eyed boss will personally go out to ensure your safety!"


    The mercenary was afraid that Oscar would be nervous, so he kindly comforted him.


    The one-eyed patted the blade and shouted, "Hey, hey, don''t mumble, cheer up! This is not a city, be careful not to lose your life!"


    The mercenaries stopped talking and began to be alert to the surroundings. The one-eyed opened the way in front, followed by two melee mercenaries, Oscar stood in the middle, and the two archers were responsible for the rear, and the group began to trek in the snow.


    Although the weather was good, trekking in the snow consumed a lot of physical strength.


    The North is too big.


    There are too many uninhabited areas!


    The footprints left by Oscar may be the first footprints of human beings since ancient times.


    In the snow-covered forest, the shadows of elk, snow rabbits, and snow chickens are often seen, but the mercenaries are not interested. After walking about 3 or 4 kilometers, the one-eyed man suddenly raised his hand, and everyone stopped in their tracks.


    "What''s wrong?"


    The one-eyed man took a breath and said in a low voice: "Something is following us! It''s probably a wild wolf!"


    The two mercenaries hid in the woods, and the sound of arrows was heard, accompanied by a few wails. Several mercenaries came back and made a gesture to indicate that they were done. These few were old mercenaries with rich experience. Although they spoke little, they cooperated tacitly.


    The team continued to move forward, and soon saw a wild wolf lying on the ground with an arrow stuck in its neck. The mercenary shot the arrow with true energy, and the arrow pierced through its neck with great power. The wild wolf was twitching, and blood was flowing out, staining the white snow red. It was not completely dead, and the mercenary did not even look at it and continued to move forward.


    "There are footprints!" The one-eyed man found a footprint, and the mercenary immediately alerted the surroundings. The one-eyed man put his knife aside and leaned over to observe the footprints. "It''s not the footprints of wild animals. I suspect it was left by those guys."


    There is a clue so soon!


    The mercenary was excited and began to track the footprints.


    Oscar walked for a few minutes, and his expression became more and more puzzled. "Strange."


    "What''s wrong with you?"This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.


    "Zombies are a kind of undead life without thoughts and wisdom. They will only wander aimlessly." Oscar pointed to the straight footprints. "We have walked all the way, and the footprints are neat and straight. This doesn''t look like a zombie."


    What else could it be if it''s not a zombie?


    A mercenary said: "This is the only clue. Let''s trace it back and see!"


    It has no choice but to do so!


    Oscar followed the team and passed through the grove for more than ten minutes. The scenery in front suddenly changed. A simple-looking abandoned wooden house appeared in the field of vision. It was located in the middle of a huge cedar. The roof was covered with branches and leaves. It was difficult to find if you didn''t look carefully. There was no snow around, and patches of black frozen soil were exposed. The soil looked very fresh and had traces of being turned over. There was some white powder mixed in the soil.


    One-Eye bent down and put some powder in front of his nose to sniff.


    "Lime?"


    A mercenary shouted: "There is a house in front!"


    "Nonsense, I''m only blind in one eye!" One-Eye sprinkled the powder, stood up and said: "You two stay and be on guard."


    The mercenary drew out his broadsword and hid under cover.


    One-Eye, Oscar and the archer moved forward. From a distance, One-Eye smelled a rotten smell. Having been a mercenary for 30 years, he knew that this was the smell of a rotting corpse. In addition, there was a strange smell, very much like some kind of potion.


    A mercenary shooter checked the surroundings and said, "Boss, there are no traps nearby."


    "You stay at the door!"


    "Yes!"


    One-Eye kicked the door and entered, followed by Oscar.


    The scene in the hut.


    Oscar was stunned.


    No doubt.


    This is a secret warlock laboratory. There are dozens of glass jars on a specimen rack, filled with green liquid, soaked with various organs, some of which are animal and some of which are human.


    There is a long dissection table in the middle, with blood stains on it, and tools are placed beside it, including tweezers, saws, hammers, knives... On the test tube rack, there are potions of different colors, plus some ground powder.


    There is a weird atmosphere everywhere.


    There are five drawings on the wall, hand-drawn human body structure diagrams, which were found out bit by bit by dissecting a large number of corpses.


    Oscar wanted to walk over, and when he stepped over a floor, he suddenly felt something. He leaned over to touch the ground, and his fingers tapped lightly, making a "bang bang" sound. He raised his head and shouted: "One-Eye, there is a tunnel here!"


    "Really? Open it and see!"


    Oscar groped for a handle, and with a bang, he pushed open the wooden board. A dark passage appeared in front of him, and the strong smell of blood and [***] hit him in the face, making people feel uneasy and fearful.


    "Damn, weird! I want to see what the hell it is!" One-Eye swallowed his saliva, "Prepare a torch first."


    Oscar silently chanted a spell, and a slight energy fluctuation spread from the palm of his hand. The light energy condensed, and finally a glowing sphere appeared.


    The fist-sized ball of light slowly sank into the tunnel.


    One-Eye praised with a sigh, "This spell is really convenient!"


    Oscar prepared 3 spell templates, a 9th-level [Evil Avoidance], a 6th-level [Enhanced Fire Bomb], a 3rd-level [Lighting Ball], and 6 [Level 1 Talisman Activation] templates.


    This is the limit of what he can do at present.


    The first 3 are apprentice spells, and [Level 1 Talisman Activation] is a special spell template that must be used with talismans. It is not a regular spell and does not occupy much mana, but the number of prepared ones is limited by the warlock''s level.


    Now, the lighting ball has been used.


    15 talismans are Oscar''s main means, but since the talisman can only be activated 6 times, only 6 talismans can be used in total.


    "I''ll go down first."


    One-Eye made a gesture and went down a wooden ladder.


    Oscar drew out his dagger, and with his left hand, he pulled out a [Light Shield Protection] talisman from his talisman bag. He waited quietly for several minutes, but there was no movement.


    "Hey, One-Eye, how are you?"


    One-Eye''s voice came up: "No danger has been found for the time being, but I personally suggest that you don''t come down."


    Oscar said nothing, bit the dagger in his mouth, and climbed into the basement from the stairs. Oscar stood firm and urged the lighting ball to move forward. The scene in the basement made people gasp.


    The basement is simply a slaughterhouse.


    There are 25 wooden barrels here, and there is a corpse in each barrel, naked, with a hideous posture, soaked in a pungent and smelly liquid.


    Each corpse has traces of sutures, and the whole body is painted with complex and mysterious patterns.


    Oscar showed no fear, nor did he vomit on the spot, which impressed the one-eyed man. He said to Oscar, "I have traveled all over the country and never seen anything like this. This looks like the style of a sorcerer. Do you know what''s going on?"


    "This is a potion made from Xinjin grass."


    "What is Xinjin grass?"


    "When Xinjin grass juice is applied to the wound, it will immediately produce blood clots in the blood vessels, so it has a hemostatic function. This kind of herb is generally not used for medical purposes, but is used as a [***] hardener."


    The one-eyed man didn''t quite understand.


    Oscar continued to explain: "Apply the grass juice on the body, and the applied part will become extremely hard."


    One-Eye immediately thought of the wonderful use of it, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Then when working, apply it on the penis, wouldn''t it become a real golden gun that can''t be knocked down, and it''s no problem to sleep with ten women at night... cough cough cough!" One-Eye coughed a few times, almost forgetting the occasion, and changed his words: "Then... what is the meaning of soaking these corpses in it?"


    Oscar said with a serious expression: "Refining corpses!"


    "Refining what?"


    "There is lime in the soil outside, which can be used for corrosion. I was suspicious at the time, and now I can basically confirm that it must be refining corpses!" Oscar found a rough magic circle on the wooden barrel, which was the death magic circle, and immediately said, "The owner of this place is a warlock who understands the art of death!"


    Oscar was very confused. Didn''t the art of death develop thousands of years later?


    How could anyone understand it at this time?


    "After soaking in the Xinjin potion, the corpse will become hard. This is the first step in making zombies." Oscar paused, suddenly thought of something, stared at the one-eyed man and said, "I understand. The zombies you encountered before were not naturally formed."


    "What do you mean?"


    "Those zombies were made!"


    "No way, zombies can be made?"


    Oscar nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course!"


    The one-eyed man was furious, "Who did it, bastard? I will chop him up and eat him with wine!"


    "Don''t be impulsive. This matter is more serious than you think." Oscar glanced at the twenty or so corpse-refining barrels and said, "From the corpse-refining formation, this person is quite skilled. I''m afraid he can refine hundreds of corpses. If we meet him, it''s hard to say who will chop who!"


    The one-eyed man thought of the combat effectiveness of the zombies, and his expression became a little ugly, "Do you have any way?"


    "Natural corpses can be tamed, but refined corpses cannot."


    The one-eyed man''s old face became stern: "What should I do?"


    "The best way is to kill the death warlock. This warlock may be from Baisong Town. This matter may be related to the disappearance of the townspeople." Oscar activated the lighting ball and looked over. "He hasn''t come back yet. There are several rooms. Let''s go in and look for them now. Maybe we can find some clues."

 Chapter 23 The Art of Death

    In a room outside the corpse refining room, the space is very narrow. The grooves on both sides of the wall are full of pottery jars, filled with messy intestines, internal organs, etc., which may be human body tissues. .


    "This can''t be... that guy''s food!?"


    Oscar frowned. This person is not only horrible, but also mentally abnormal?


    One-eyed walked into the second room, which was a simple bedroom. He first touched the oil lamp on the stone table. There was a little oil left in it, indicating that the warlock must have been here within two days. One-eyed felt a little uneasy. This time it was obviously the other party who happened to go out, but he would be back at any time!


    Stay one more second.


    One more point of danger!


    "Boy, here are some notes, all messy symbols, can you understand?"


    On the bedroom table, there were old spell books and several handwritten notes, which were densely packed with complex and profound symbols, all kinds of strange and complex lines, which made people dizzy. How could a warrior understand it? Fortunately, Oscar was brought here.


    Oscar flipped it open and glanced at it and said, "This is my experimental notes."


    The art of death is profound and obscure. It is only because it is too cruel that it is restricted in the era of highly developed art civilization.


    The art of death has several sub-systems, including attack, defense, curse, undead, ritual...


    The undead system is a key area of ??the art of death!


    In Oscar''s time, the undead and ritual fields were strictly banned spells, and ordinary warlocks were not allowed to practice or study them.


    [Ritual Field]: There are transformation rituals for liches, vampires, and death knights. This is an evil spell that turns people into undead and wants to gain immortality. Because it is considered to be a betrayal of race and against nature, it is banned.


    [Undead Demon Field], the root system is more complicated, with skeletons, zombies, ghosts, ghouls... More than a dozen undead creatures are refined and controlled. A highly skilled undead magician, if his character is not good, will cause great harm, so it is banned!


    Oscar has read the notes and is enough to make a judgment.


    This warlock has mastered the method of making zombies in the Undead Magic System, but it is not a complete zombie making technique. Although zombie refining is a branch of the Undead Magic System, there are about 90 types of zombies, including ordinary zombies, corpse witches, corpse demons, corpse kings... This person only masters one of them, the most common zombie refining method. Therefore, he cannot be regarded as a death warlock. It is just a coincidence that he has touched the tip of the iceberg of the death magic! However, the entire death magic system was established seven or eight thousand years later. People in this era who know a little bit of death magic are definitely rare! The one-eyed man was a little impatient, "Did you see anything?"


    "No! It''s totally wrong!"


    "What''s wrong?"


    "This death spell has flaws." Oscar kept recording on the parchment, his expression became strange, and he raised his head and said: "This person''s corpse refining part is relatively rough, but it''s still passable, but the control part is completely wrong. The magician connects the spirit with the undead creatures, which is a very fatal flaw, and it will definitely cause serious and terrible consequences."


    "Will he die?"


    "That won''t happen, but the person who is killed and made into a dead demon will definitely have negative emotions of hatred and resentment. This magician did not find a better way to control, but directly connected himself with the dead demon. He will suffer unimaginable torture and will be affected by the dead demon, thus becoming extreme, evil, cruel, jealous, selfish, and seriously distorted in personality. If time passes, he will become something that is neither human nor ghost."


    People with a little common sense should not make such mistakes, but the times and knowledge are too backward, so such serious flaws will occur.


    In this way, the characteristics are obvious. After years of being eroded by the power of the dead demons, not only will his temperament become morbid, but his appearance will also undergo great changes. The appearance of this warlock must be different from that of a normal person.


    If this person appears in Baisong Town, it must be easy to identify and find him.


    One-eyed was about to speak.


    Suddenly, there was a fierce fight outside!


    The mercenary shouted: "One-eyed boss, come out quickly! Something is happening!"


    "Oh no, have we been discovered?" One-eyed was startled and immediately pulled: "Go!"


    In the forest, more than a dozen burly figures suddenly appeared. They were tall and wore metal mail armor. Their heads were tightly wrapped in black cloth, and their mouths, noses and eyes were covered. However, they found the hidden mercenaries and attacked them as if they had predicted the future.


    "Be careful, this is the weirdo that Tie Niu encountered!"The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    "Humph, I want to see what''s so powerful about this guy!"


    Holding a steel shield in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand, he went forward.


    The mercenary wielded his sword like the wind, slashing three times in a row. The blade slashed against the metal armor, making a harsh friction sound and leaving a series of cuts, but it could not effectively hurt the opponent.


    Wearing metal armor in this weather?


    What kind of guy is this!


    Seeing this, the mercenary pretended to attack, and the zombie moved stiffly and pounced forward directly. The mercenary retracted his move, and the demon dodged, and the zombie''s claws tore off a large piece of solid bark.


    "Kill!"


    The mercenary took the opportunity to condense his true energy, and the sword tip glowed faintly, and slashed heavily on the zombie''s shoulder. This time, the blade directly cut through the metal armor, and with a bang, it deeply embedded in the zombie''s shoulder. The mercenary felt something was wrong, as if he had chopped on a rock, and it didn''t look like a flesh and blood body at all.


    What a hard body!


    Could it be that the body was strengthened with true energy?


    The zombie felt no pain and turned back and pounced. The mercenary blocked the attack with a steel shield, and the whole person was thrown into the snow. The long sword was embedded in the zombie''s shoulder, and he didn''t pull it out!


    The steel shield was dented.


    What a great force!


    The zombie didn''t stop for a moment and rushed to kill again. The mercenary pulled out the dagger in his combat boots, spun a circle, held it in his hand, and rolled away suddenly. While avoiding the attack, he swung a knife and cut the opponent''s Achilles tendon.


    Bang!


    The zombie''s heavy body fell to the ground.


    The mercenary slapped the ground, flew into the air, and rode directly on it. The dagger stabbed the neck several times, and each stab was infused with true energy. When piercing the neck, the true energy would cause secondary damage.


    The zombie was not hurt at all, as if it was equipped with a spring, and suddenly jumped up and hit the mercenary against the tree.


    "Damn it! Why can''t I kill it!"


    The mercenary stabbed the zombie in the face, and the black cloth was cut open, revealing a dark blue dead face. The mercenary bit through the mercenary''s shoulder armor and tore off a piece of flesh. The mercenary screamed, circulated his true energy, and kicked the zombie''s kneecap hard, breaking it and falling to the ground again.


    "Ah!"


    Another mercenary rushed up, jumped into the air, stepped on a tree branch, and pounced forward with the force. He pierced the zombie''s hard body with a sword and nailed it to the ground. He threw away the sword, rolled on the ground and came to his companion, dragging him while shouting and retreating.


    More than a dozen figures emerged from the woods, and the mercenary archers drew their bows and shot arrows one by one. Each arrow was strengthened by true energy and was enough to penetrate gold and crush stones. The zombie took a step back after being shot, and immediately continued to walk as if nothing had happened. It was completely unkillable.


    The zombies were stiff in movement, but their speed was not slow, and they surrounded them from all directions.


    One-Eye and Oscar left the hut amid the mercenary''s shouts. When One-Eye saw the hut surrounded by zombies, he immediately showed a fierce look, "Stupid, don''t fight them, retreat!"


    Two zombies were about to catch up with the wounded mercenary!


    One-Eye held the long knife in reverse, the blade glowed faintly, and he threw it with his hand, as fast as a meteor, accurately hitting the zombie a hundred meters away, just like piercing a piece of tofu, passing through the zombie''s body, carrying this zombie''s body, and hitting the second zombie. The two zombies were skewered by a knife and fell to the ground, their limbs entangled and twisted, unable to stand up.


    The mercenary dragged his injured companion to him, "He was bitten by a weirdo!"


    "Damn weirdo! Do you have a brain? Zombies, it''s a zombie!"


    Oscar went up to check the wound, and the corpse poison began to infect, but the situation was not serious. He pulled out a fluorescent tree potion from his belt and asked him to drink it. A dozen zombies ran out of the woods, some of them had five or six arrows stuck in them, and they were fine.


    A strong corpse odor came to his nose.


    The one-eyed man drew a long knife from his waist again: "Let''s fight them!"


    "No need to take risks, I have a way!" Oscar began to chant the spell, cast the 9th-ring apprentice spell [Evil Abjuration], waved his hand to sprinkle a layer of faint light, condensed and not dispersed, filling the door, "Stay in the house, don''t come out!"


    The zombies seemed to be blinded by the faint light, just circling around, but did not attack, ignoring several people.


    The mercenary widened his eyes: "What''s wrong with them?"


    Oscar explained: "The light spell of evil abjuration is only effective for low-level dead demons, and they can''t feel our presence in a short time." At this point, he took out a talisman from his talisman pocket, "Fortunately, I am well prepared, otherwise I would be in trouble!"


    Oscar silently chanted the spell, suddenly activated it, the talisman burned, and instantly burned to ashes, a force was released, condensed into a glowing arrow.


    The speed of the light arrow was far inferior to that of the mercenary''s arrow, and its power did not seem very strong, but the moment it hit the zombie, the entire light arrow entered the zombie''s body. With a shrill howl, the zombie fell straight to the ground, and gray mist came out of its mouth, nose and eyes, turning into a motionless corpse again.


    "What the hell is this spell? How can it be so useful!"


    "Light spells are specifically used to defeat undead demons. If used against living things, the effect is weak."


    Oscar directly activated 6 light arrow talismans, 1 missed, 5 hit, and all the zombies hit were destroyed.


    Seeing Oscar stop, the one-eyed man said anxiously, "Why not! Keep going!"


    Oscar was pale and sweaty as he said, "It''s easy to say. I''m just an apprentice. Although I use talismans to cast spells, it will also consume mana, and the talisman activation spell has been used up. There are 30 seconds left for the evil-avoiding spell. There are still 7 zombies here. You can do whatever you want."


    "How to fight?"


    "Cut off their heads and they will lose their ability to move. Or pierce the skull and use strong enough true energy to destroy the soul fire, so that they can be eliminated."


    "Bring the bow!"


    The one-eyed man took the ox-horn bow, pulled the bowstring, gathered his energy for two seconds, and basically didn''t aim, and raised his hand to shoot an arrow.


    Whoosh!


    The arrow shot into the eye socket and drilled out from the back of the zombie''s head. The huge force carried the body two meters away and fell heavily to the ground. The one-eyed man was old, but his true energy was still strong. When the arrow passed through the skull, it was enough to dispel the soul fire.


    "Haha, it''s not that difficult!"


    One-Eye shot arrows continuously, and the zombies fell to the ground one by one.


    Oscar said: "Don''t get carried away, they are just a few watchdogs, and the master happened to be away, otherwise would you still be alive?"


    The warlock could refine zombies, and in large numbers, so his cultivation must be strong, at least at the same level as Zhao Pu, or even stronger. If the other party was not at home, the six people would simply die here!


    Oscar felt uneasy, and this swing might cause big trouble!


    "We can''t stay here for long, burn the house! Let''s go!"


    The mercenary unscrewed the wine jug, and the strong wine was scattered everywhere.


    Oscar chanted the spell, condensed the remaining mana, and cast a 6-ring fire bomb spell. The whole cabin was on fire. The six people picked up the fallen weapons, took the notes, spell books and other evidence in the study, and immediately left the woods.

 Chapter 24 Warlocks Diary

    Three hours later, the fire gradually died out.


    In front of the smoking black ruins, a hunched figure in a tattered black robe stood silently, with a hood covering his head and a black cloth covering his face, revealing only a pair of bloodshot eyes, with a crazy and ferocious look. A right hand that was as skinny as a chicken claw tightly grasped a bone staff, with blue veins bulging and trembling slightly.


    He was extremely angry.


    "Ah..."


    A series of beast-like roars, invisible power spread, and the surrounding woods rustled, as if trembling in fear!


    There were more than a dozen corpses near the hut, with faint light energy remaining. He seemed to be lost in thought, then turned around, raised his hands high, and a series of obscure and difficult spells sounded, containing magical sounds, coming from the distant horizon, and seemed to linger in his ears.


    The spell stopped abruptly, and the bone staff knocked on the ground.


    Invisible energy spread out, and the snow on the pine trees was hit and fell off, and snowflakes were flying in the woods.


    Bang!


    Suddenly, an arm stretched out from the tree.


    Bang!


    Bang! Bang!


    The big trees nearby were torn apart by the huge force.


    There were zombies hidden in each tree, one or two... there were hundreds of them. Each zombie was wearing neat armor, stiff but not slow. After being awakened by the spell, they all gathered together and lined up neatly.


    The mysterious warlock turned around, and a cold wind blew in his face, and the black tattered cloak rustled.


    This skinny body, like straw in the wind, could fall at any time, but it was filled with a strong breath of death, like the king of the dead demons who was high above, looking down on the living demons and looking down on everything.


    The zombies followed closely behind with mechanical steps, and finally disappeared into the depths of the dense forest with the mysterious warlock.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Baisong Town.


    Oscar returned safely.


    Wang Jian let out a long sigh of relief and said, "My ancestor, you are a noble appointed by the lord himself! If you run to the wild and take risks, if something happens, my term as mayor will be over!"


    Oscar is the only noble in the town, so he is protected by the local government. Although he has no real power, if there is anything wrong, Wang Jian''s official hat will be affected. Although he doesn''t care about Oscar''s life or death, he should always care about his future!


    Oscar asked Wang Jian, "Have you sent someone to investigate? How is the situation?"


    "To be honest, I sent out an investigation team, but we lost contact!"


    "Missing?"


    Wang Jian frowned and said angrily, "If the investigation team was killed inexplicably, this mayor would not be able to escape responsibility, and Baicheng would most likely punish them! Fortunately, you and One-Eye brought back clues, otherwise this mayor would still be kept in the dark! Such a vicious and evil warlock appeared in the town, I will definitely not forgive him!"


    The investigation team did not come back, most of them were in danger, Wang Jian only cared about his official hat and wanted to find a way to remedy his mistakes.


    No wonder Oscar did not meet the other party. When searching the cabin, the death warlock was probably dealing with the regular army investigation team of Baisong Town. Oscar was lucky to come back alive.


    One person can deal with a search team?


    This person is so powerful!


    Oscar solemnly instructed: "This matter is of great importance, and must be taken seriously!"


    Wang Jian patted his chest and said: "I have sent out 1,000 soldiers to form a large search team!"


    "Stupid, this is too risky!" Oscar said angrily: "You should confirm the identity of the other party first, and then search and arrest!"


    Wang Jian was a little dissatisfied with Oscar''s words, and said nonchalantly: "You are too cautious, I think it is completely unnecessary! This is a large search team composed of 1,000 people. A warlock with strong magic power, what can it do? Don''t worry, when I kill him, Baicheng will reward me, and you will not be left out!"


    "Withdraw the army immediately, the death warlock is different from the ordinary warlock!"


    "The search team has been dispatched, and it is too late to withdraw. Don''t worry, I promise that nothing will happen!" Wang Jian was a little impatient with Oscar''s nagging, and didn''t like others to dictate his decisions. He continued, "I will also conduct door-to-door inspections in the town, and all suspicious people will be arrested."


    "Okay." Oscar had no choice but to deal with the incompetent mayor: "If you have any news, please tell me immediately."


    "You guys, protect Oscar!"


    "Yes!"


    Wang Jian left with a few soldiers.


    Oscar returned to the room and immediately carefully checked the warlock''s research notes. Except for a fatal mistake in the control part, the rest was quite in place. It is not easy for a person to achieve this level purely by exploration and research without any previous information and knowledge.


    He is a genius of his generation!


    Unfortunately, he went astray!


    Oscar sorted out his research notes and put them aside, and began to read other materials. There were several newspapers, one of which was very new. One of the important news was circled in blood-red ink-"Oscar from Baisong Town found the basic law of light energy and made outstanding contributions to the opening of the new road!"If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    Oscar''s name.


    It was even smeared several times, and even the paper was punctured!


    Oscar raised his eyebrows, "Even this guy is paying attention to me?"


    Sure enough, being too prominent will cause trouble!


    Oscar threw away the newspaper, moved a thick stack of books over, and began to read them one by one. The most important thing was to find the person. This kind of person who lost his moral bottom line and began to capture innocent civilians alive and refine their corpses was definitely a madman. He could do anything.


    Oscar had already offended him!


    This kind of person would definitely take revenge, and now we must race against time!


    Oscar patiently checked the books one by one, and a thick book with a black cowhide cover caught his attention. This was not a print, but a handwritten book. Oscar opened the first page, and the yellowed parchment appeared in front of him, and lines of neat and tidy handwriting came into view.


    He was refreshed.


    This is a diary.


    Oscar started reading from the first page.


    ¡ª¡ª


    July 1, 998 in the new calendar


    Beautiful snow-capped mountains, beautiful pine forests, beautiful towns!


    I am back here again.


    In the past ten years since I left my hometown, I have gained a lot and lost a lot, but I think I have lost more in the end. Because I am no longer the person I once was. My friends, the people I love, my father, and my mother can no longer accept me.


    I haven''t seen them for many years. How are they doing?


    I often ask myself, is it worth it?


    There is no answer.


    I chose this path, knowing that it is wrong, but I will go on without hesitation, because there is really no way out.


    Even so, I have never regretted it. The art of the way is my lifelong pursuit, and I will not give it up for anything. I think that when the time is right, I will dedicate all my research to the lord and build a powerful army for him. In this way, I will be remembered by the people of the north forever.


    If I can''t appear in life, I will live in history!


    Let people remember me forever!


    ...


    July 2, 996 in the new calendar


    Pain!


    Despair!


    I secretly returned home and found that my mother had passed away, and my father was addicted to alcohol all day long.


    Although my heart was broken, I didn''t dare to show up, because my appearance would scare him. I should be a perfect and excellent son. Perhaps the fact that my son has already died is more acceptable.


    I stuffed a gold coin through the crack of the door, hoping that my father can live a better life.


    Please forgive my unfilial behavior!


    I couldn''t help but go to find her.


    She appeared, she was still as beautiful as before. I stood in the corner, hoping that she would look at me. She did see me, but her eyes were full of disgust, and then... it was a passing by that made me heartbroken.


    You must think I''m a stinky beggar? !


    What a irony!


    Why is this happening?


    You belong to me!


    ...


    The oil lamp on the table was flickering.


    Oscar read one diary after another, and saw a vivid figure in the diary, arrogant and proud, obsessed with magic, but accidentally went astray. The once handsome and sunny young man became neither human nor ghost, dealing with dead bodies and rotten meat all day long, living deep in the mountains and forests, dark and desolate.


    The diary is not frequent, with an average of one every two weeks.


    Except for a few psychological activities, most of them are summarizing experiments and magic knowledge.


    This magician has a very strong power, mainly relying on digging graves and stealing corpses for experiments, and has never used living people.


    This person''s mind began to change, starting with one thing.


    That happened after 6 years of seclusion.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª


    April 2, 1002 in the new calendar, heavy rain


    My father died of alcoholism.


    I wanted to save him, but it was too late.


    Since I lost her, it has been 18 years since I cried for the first time.


    I am angry, I am angry, why is God unfair to me!


    Unwilling!


    I really am unwilling!


    Since there is no way to enjoy everything fresh, why don''t I get eternity in death?


    When this thought came up, I could no longer stop it.


    I dug out my father''s body overnight.


    As long as it is made into a zombie.


    We can be together forever, no one can deprive us, no one can separate us!


    Father, I want to make you immortal!


    Please be with me!

    Done!


    Finally done!


    Father is back!


    I have my father again!


    I don''t have to be afraid anymore, I can talk to him, I can hug him, I have no scruples. I know that everyone in this world will hate me, abandon me, betray me, but he won''t, yes, I have my home again.


    Father will always be with me, even God can''t take him away!


    So wonderful!


    I like this feeling!


    ¡­¡­¡­


    Oscar felt creepy... He actually made his dead father into a zombie!


    This is a crucial turning point.


    In two months.


    The warlock''s psychological activities became more and more twisted and more and more morbid.


    Finally, he could no longer suppress the evil in his heart and was no longer satisfied with the cold corpse in the grave. He even pretended to live in a village and began to observe the world of living people. When he was completely familiar with them, he would kill them, refine them into zombies, and even give them names, so as to give them a sense of reality and existence.


    He used this method to fill the emptiness and loneliness of his inner demons and satisfy his almost perverted spiritual desires.


    So far, he has completely fallen.


    He became a selfish, evil and cruel death warlock.


    Paper cannot cover fire.


    This person has lived in seclusion in the wilderness outside the town for 6 years. He has as many as 1,200 zombies. It is impossible that there is no trace left. Someone began to notice his existence, and this person came to the door.


    Oscar turned to a diary.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    August 11, 1002 in the new calendar, cloudy day.


    Someone came to visit. It has been 18 years. For 18 years, I have been hiding my identity and living alone in the wilderness. There are still people who remember me. Perhaps, I should kill him. Because my intuition told me that this was a very cunning person. I don''t like dealing with cunning people. Years of seclusion have taught me a truth: cold zombies are always more reliable than living people.


    This person is willing to provide a lot of money, corpses, and equipment!


    This is something I can''t refuse. I need a lot of money to buy expensive instruments, I need a lot of corpses to complete the great experiment, and I need equipment to arm my partners.


    Therefore, I didn''t kill him.


    I accepted his sponsorship.


    But I will pay attention to him. If I find any conspiracy, he will know how powerful I am!


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    August 29, 1002, New Calendar, Rain.


    This guy really didn''t disappoint me. He got 100 corpses of half-orcs, which are still fresh. I like half-orcs. They have well-developed muscles, hard bones, and strong physiques. This natural highland warrior will be made into a zombie. I am excited to think about it!


    This guy also got 500 sets of armor to arm my army.


    He said, this is just the beginning.


    I am looking forward to it even more.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    November 5, 1002, New Calendar, cloudy.


    Orcs are several times more difficult than humans.


    I succeeded.


    The first batch of Orc zombies is completed!


    Put on heavy armor, pick up the giant hammer, lift the shield... Look, how majestic!


    I am intoxicated!


    What a perfect work of art!


    I can''t wait to test their power!


    My army is getting stronger and stronger, and sometimes I can''t help but think that I have such a powerful force, and this power should not be buried forever.


    Maybe, I should get more.


    I have power!


    I have an army!


    Who can stop me in Baisong Town?


    I want to get back everything I lost!


    But can I really do it?


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    January 3, 1003, New Calendar, heavy snow.


    That guy sent another batch of corpses.


    He has been helping me for free and never asked for anything, which always confused me, so I decided to ask clearly.


    We talked all night.


    He talked about old times with me.


    Talked about my beloved.


    She should have belonged to me, we were already engaged, but that despicable guy cheated her body and took away my beloved. They caused me to run away from home and become what I am today, and they should take full responsibility!


    Although 18 years have passed.


    The hatred and anger in my heart grew like weeds and never stopped!


    I can''t watch them happy anymore!


    I want revenge!


    I want them to pay the price!


    This guy hinted to me that with my strength and power, I can return to Baisong Town in glory, and all my belongings will be gone.


    I got everything that belonged to me or didn''t belong to me.


    I was really moved.


    Although I had my father and we got along well, I lacked a lover, friends, and neighbors.


    I longed to return to Baisong Town. I wanted to turn the whole town into my kingdom. I wanted to grant immortality to everyone. Then, I could walk on the street openly like I did 18 years ago, without disguise or hiding.


    There would be no more strange looks.


    Everyone would accept me as before.


    This made my blood boil!


    Yes!


    This is what I need!

 Chapter 25 Twisted Obsession

    Oscar was more and more shocked. This person was completely crazy and wanted to turn the town into a place of death!


    In addition, there were three key figures in the diary. .


    One was a mysterious person who secretly sponsored him, one was a former friend, and the other was a childhood sweetheart. The two got married 20 years ago. The main reason why the warlock ran away from home and finally went astray was because of this incident.


    This incident itself had limited impact. It was only after he discovered and practiced the death spell that his mind began to change, becoming morbid and twisted because of the wrong way of practicing. He continued to produce negative emotions of hatred in his mind, and his heart disease eventually began to spread and became the fuse for revenge.


    In the diary, there was never a name.


    Oscar integrated the key clues. This person left Baisong Town 20 years ago and returned to live in seclusion nearby 8 years ago. He was very talented and might have been a well-known warlock before leaving the town.


    A genius warlock 20 years ago.


    Could he be...


    Oscar suddenly had a thought and muttered to himself: "It can''t be such a coincidence!"


    Who is the mysterious person who sponsored the warlock?


    Oscar speculated that this person was probably from Baisong Town, or someone who had lived in the town. However, he could easily take out hundreds or thousands of sets of armor without attracting attention. Most of them had their own weapons factory or weapons purchase channels.


    Baisong Town is a small place the size of a palm. There is no weapons factory, but as long as there is enough financial resources, it is not too difficult to secretly purchase from the outer city.


    The most difficult thing for Oscar to understand is the corpse of the orcs!


    The orcs and humans have been mortal enemies for thousands of years. The two tribes have difficult languages ??and huge differences in customs. The Frost Highlands are 240 kilometers away from the town, separated by a snow-capped mountain range. Even if all the defenders of Baisong Town are dispatched, they do not have the ability to cross the icebergs and snow-capped mountains to attack the orc tribe.


    How could this mysterious sponsor get the corpse of the orcs?


    Such an elite army would not remain unknown. Besides, the border between the Frost Plateau and the Plains is full of human outposts and monitoring stations. Any big move would be difficult to escape surveillance, let alone bring back the bodies of half-orcs.


    Du Family?


    Basically impossible.


    The Du Family has a martial arts research institute, and all the warriors added up, there are only a few hundred people in total. What kind of stuff are half-orcs? This is a natural warrior race, with strong physique and infinite strength. Even without any training and practice, as long as they reach adulthood, they generally have the strength of formal warriors!


    Not to mention the small families in the town, it is difficult for the famous families in White City to do it!


    Oscar thought carefully, there are mature and legal channels for purchasing weapons, there are troops that are not inferior to the defenders, and they can reasonably enter the Frost Plateau... If you have to find someone in Baisong Town, it seems... Only One-Eye can barely do it.


    The Snow Wolf Mercenary Group has weapons business in its industry. Snow Wolf Mercenaries are better at fighting and more experienced than regular troops. Their mercenary identities can also conceal their actions well.


    Could it be that One-Eye did it?


    Starting from the exposure of the zombies, he discovered the cabin in the forest and burned it down at a perfect time, just to achieve a certain purpose?


    Oscar would never believe it. There are too many things that don''t make sense!


    If the Snow Wolf Mercenaries really dared to go to the plateau to capture orcs, there would be no casualties. The Snow Wolf Mercenaries in Baisong Town have never had a record of large-scale casualties in the past one or two years, let alone a record of long-distance dangerous missions.


    One-Eye is an old mercenary over 50 years old, with women on his mind and swearing. This person can''t be a conspirator, and he can basically rule out suspicion.


    There is still a little bit of diary.


    Keep reading, maybe there will be new clues.


    This is no longer an ordinary accident, but a shocking conspiracy!


    Oscar had a vague sense of crisis in his heart. If the sponsor of the Necromancer was lurking in Baisong Town, would he have already set his sights on him?


    Outside the door, a gentle knock interrupted him: "Master, you should have breakfast."


    Oscar realized that the oil lamp on the table had been extinguished long ago, and the window was bright outside. Unknowingly, the whole night had passed. He closed the diary first and stuffed it into his clothes. He threw all the materials and notes on the Necromancer spells into the brazier next to him and let the flames devour them bit by bit.


    These death spell research notes are worth more than a million dollars.


    It is ten or even a hundred times more valuable than "The Discovery and Basic Application of Light Energy". Both are new faction fields. Oscar''s published papers are just basic law discoveries, and these research notes are real things. The two cannot be compared.


    This is flawed.


    Oscar does not want to spread it.


    Oscar had done some research on the art of death, so he was quite proficient in it. He even had quite high attainments in the Undead Magic and Ritual Magic. Not to mention zombies, he even knew how to make Nether Dragons. It was just that Oscar didn''t like to use the Undead Magic.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    These notes and materials are of infinite value in modern times.


    Oscar saw them as childish, rough and imperfect things, which had no value.


    Alice made a bowl of fragrant preserved egg and meat porridge for Oscar. Although the family became well-off, Alice was still unwilling to ask for help. She was responsible for all the affairs at home. Alice''s life was very simple. She studied and did housework every day. She felt that this was the most ideal life.


    "Master, your complexion is not very good. Didn''t you rest well yesterday?"


    "It''s okay. I just read things all night and I''m a little tired."


    Mu Alice''s face showed a worried expression, and she carefully persuaded: "This is not good. Master is so young, and health is more important."


    Oscar smiled slightly, indicating that he understood.


    Outside the door, a mercenary walked in.


    "Someone is visiting."


    Oscar was roasting fire and drinking porridge, and asked in surprise: "Who is it?"


    The mercenary said; "He claims to be an envoy sent by the White City family!"


    Alice quickly stood up and said: "It must be someone from the family! The young master is now famous, and the family will definitely accept the young master again. Let''s get ready to welcome him!"


    "Forget it!" Oscar sneered and said to the mercenary: "Oscar is just an abandoned child, who has been expelled from the family tree long ago. He has nothing to do with him. Let him go! If he doesn''t leave, drive him away. Anyway, I don''t want to see him!"


    "Young master..."


    "Don''t say it, I''ve made up my mind!"


    "Yes!"


    The mercenary sharpened his fists and ran down with excitement. He liked to do this kind of thing the most.


    This Oscar is not the same Oscar. Naturally, he has no sense of belonging to the White City family. Oscar hated the way his third uncle occupied the property and tried to take Alice away by force. Oscar was lucky enough not to go back for revenge against such a group of people. Going back was a joke.


    Alice felt very sorry: "Returning to the family has always been the wish of the lady and the master."


    Oscar had no memory of this and couldn''t help asking: "What happened to my parents? Why do they live in Baisong Town?"


    Alice told the story. Oscar''s father was originally a collateral branch of the family. Oscar''s mother was the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Baicheng. The two knew each other since childhood and were childhood friends. They had a secret love for each other. Unexpectedly, a direct descendant of the family also fell in love with Oscar''s mother, and with the help of the family, he got engaged to the businessman.


    Oscar''s parents were very distressed and later decided to elope. As a result, they left Baicheng and fled to other places.


    This was a scandal for the family. The collateral branch took away the fianc¨¦e of the direct branch. The patriarch was naturally furious and immediately expelled Oscar''s father from the ancestral home. Oscar''s parents finally returned here after wandering and fleeing for several years, but they did not dare to go to Baicheng, so they settled in Baisong Town.


    When Oscar was 3 years old, the couple picked up another baby girl. Because they found her under a pine tree, they named her Alice.


    Although they were displaced and had a hard life, they had a good relationship and had a son and a daughter. Their life could be said to be very satisfying.


    Because the incident had happened several years ago, the couple even had children, and the family scandal could not be exposed again, so as not to be ridiculed by others, so the family did not continue to pursue it.


    Oscar''s parents saw that the family turned a blind eye, so they felt relieved to live in Baisong Town. They started from scratch and worked diligently for more than ten years, and finally saved a considerable fortune. Unfortunately, they died in the wild during a Warcraft riot, and Oscar and Alice were left to depend on each other.


    The couple always felt guilty, so they longed to return to Baicheng and be accepted by their families.


    "So that''s how it is." Oscar sighed, "I didn''t expect to have such a rough experience, but you also know what kind of character they are, so don''t worry about it anymore. I don''t care about this shitty family at all. As long as Alice lives well and we live well, that''s enough."


    Alice felt sweet in her heart. Yes, as long as she lives well with the young master, that''s enough.


    Why should we carry unnecessary burdens?


    Oscar finished his porridge and couldn''t wait to read his diary. He urgently needed to get more clues and know who the enemy in the dark was!


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª


    November 21, 1003!


    My army reached 3,000, including 500 orcs. This force is more than enough to conquer the town. That person will help me so that I can capture the town without worries.


    The whole town will become my private territory!


    I will have an inexhaustible supply of experimental materials!


    I will create a real paradise.


    There will be no more pain, betrayal, and deception here!


    All life is eternal in death!


    I can''t wait any longer.


    But I have to wait patiently, now is not the time to implement the plan.

    February 6, 1004 in the new calendar


    Four mercenaries found my zombie. Although they killed three, one was injured and escaped.


    He was poisoned by corpses and should not live long.


    I might be exposed, but it doesn''t matter.


    The plan is getting closer.


    Even if I am exposed, it will not cause any impact. I don''t want to hide anymore. I will start to capture strong men tomorrow. I need more corpses!

    February 11, 1004 in the new calendar


    Recently, a warlock has become very famous. The newspapers are full of reports about him.


    This abominable guy discovered the basic law of light energy. Light energy is the nemesis of the dead. Damn it, I will not allow this power to appear in the world!


    He is just an apprentice and there is no threat at all.


    But such a person should not appear!


    Kill!


    Kill!


    Kill!


    I must kill him!


    Never again!

    February 19, 1004 in the new calendar


    Your 41st birthday has arrived. Although 20 years have passed, this day is still engraved in my heart. Because of his deception, I lost you for 20 years, but I think I will have you for longer.


    My time is finally set.


    That day, the dead demon will become extremely violent!


    That day is also a special day.


    On the same day 20 years ago, I fled Baisong Town in a panic amid countless mocking and sneerful eyes.


    On this day 20 years later, I came back again.


    Is this the reincarnation of fate?


    Who can understand my hatred, my anger, my pain, my sorrow?


    In these 20 years, it has nowhere to go!


    In these 20 years of brewing, it cannot be suppressed!


    For more than 7,000 days and nights, I have suffered cruel torture in the abyss of hell! I have become neither human nor ghost! My appearance is gone, my youth is gone! I am no longer handsome, no longer young!


    But what does it matter?


    No one cares now!


    I will tear apart all the hateful and ridiculous faces!


    Let the betrayers repent in hell!


    It''s time for revenge!


    ...


    The diary stopped abruptly.


    The date was the 19th.


    Today is the 21st.


    This diary was written two days ago!


    Oscar closed the diary, his expression became heavy. The diary did not specify in detail which day the attack would be launched, and ordinary people would certainly not be able to judge. Oscar could calculate it, because the soul fire of the dead demons was the strongest on the night of the full moon, and the power of the dead demons at that time doubled and became extremely powerful.


    If I guessed correctly... it was on the 27th!


    Time is so tight!


    No wonder this person no longer hides and starts to arrest townspeople unscrupulously, because it doesn''t matter even if he is exposed. Even if ordinary people find zombies, based on modern people''s understanding of the dead, they would at most think of natural disasters, not man-made disasters, and there is no effective way.


    Oscar was a little shocked.


    He never thought that the town, which seemed calm on the surface, actually hid a terrible crisis of destruction!


    What to do?


    Oscar''s expression was extremely solemn. He almost forgot that it was a chaotic world, so anything could happen! Oscar felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. This warlock had gone completely crazy. Oscar burned down the hut yesterday and stole the research notes... This would definitely make him furious!


    This person has been paying attention to Oscar for a long time!


    Oscar killed the zombie with a light spell. There must be light energy left in the zombie''s body. The warlock is not blind and can definitely feel it!


    Damn it!


    I''m in danger!


    Oscar realized a terrible fact and immediately stood up, rushed out of the door, and shouted: "Alice!"

 Chapter 26 Attacked

    Oscar opened the drawer and took a handful of talismans, stuffing them all into the talisman pocket on his waist.


    Alice ran up to him breathlessly and asked, "Do you have any instructions?"


    Oscar also stuffed the warlock''s diary into his arms, gently pushed Alice''s back, and said, "I have some important things to do. Don''t stay at home. Move to the hotel immediately and stay for two days. Don''t go out easily. Do you understand?"


    "Ah?"


    Mu Alice was a little sad, not understanding why she had to move away. Since the young master arranged it, there must be a reason for the young master.


    The little girl was well-behaved and sensible. She didn''t ask more questions, but just said, "I... I''ll pack my things."


    Oscar didn''t have time to explain in detail, and said a little anxiously, "Don''t pack your things, leave now!"


    Mu Alice was sensitive to something wrong and immediately asked, "Young master, is there something wrong..."


    The words were not finished.


    There was a loud bang.


    The teacup on the table was shaking constantly.


    There were sounds of running and shouting in the street. No one knew what was going on. It looked very chaotic.


    Oscar''s heart trembled.


    Damn!


    Has it already started?


    Alice asked, "What happened outside?"


    A mercenary shouted outside, "It''s not clear at the moment. The town seems to be on fire. The fire has spread to the hotel!"


    Mu Alice was shocked and said, "Ah, how could this happen? Let''s go and help put out the fire!"


    On fire?


    I''m afraid it''s not as simple as a fire!


    Oscar''s mind was racing.


    In the whole yard, there were 4 one-eyed mercenaries and 4 guards of the mayor, a total of 8 soldiers. This was a strong fighting force.


    Oscar walked to the yard and shouted, "Everyone come here immediately. We have guests!"


    The mercenaries were very confused.


    It had only been a few minutes, and the nearby mercenary houses were inexplicably on fire. The mercenaries were in a mess, all running to put out the fire. A choking smoke filled the air, covering several streets and making it hard to open your eyes.


    This fire was too bizarre.


    Even a fool could see something strange now.


    When Oscar walked to the yard, the mercenaries, fully armed, had gathered together. Oscar made a prompt decision and sent Alice to the captain of the soldiers and said, "Take her and go out the back door!"


    Alice had an uneasy intuition, realizing that something was going to happen, and took Oscar''s hand and said, "Master, let''s go together!"


    "Be obedient!" Oscar said in a very tough tone, and then said to the captain, "Please!"


    The captain of the soldiers still didn''t understand the situation, but just nodded and said, "Please rest assured, sir!"


    Oscar couldn''t wait: "Don''t say anything, let''s go!"


    Two soldiers came forward, and one of them said to Alice, "Miss Mu Alice, please follow us..."


    Before he finished speaking!


    Whoosh!


    A scream!


    A wolf tooth arrow shot at the soldier, piercing his neck and throat, and hot blood gushed out like a fountain!


    "Ah¡ª¡ª!"


    Alice screamed in fear.


    Oscar pulled Alice into his arms and held her head with both hands to prevent her from watching the bloody scene. With his other hand, he drew out the talisman, completed the spell, and instantly activated it. The talisman burned and released a large amount of mist, which filled the courtyard.


    The enemy is equipped with a military crossbow.


    Oscar made a judgment in an instant and reacted at the fastest speed, activating a "smoke spell" talisman, which is a level 1 spell. When the smoke spreads, it is not easy for the crossbowman to aim. Otherwise, he will become a live target and be shot into a hedgehog in an instant!


    The whole process was done in one go.


    "There is an enemy!"


    "Protect Lord Oscar!"


    The soldier reacted and immediately drew his long sword and blocked the two with a steel shield. The soldier who was shot by an arrow was twitching on the ground, his hands covering his throat, but blood gushed out like a fountain. He lost consciousness in less than five seconds and was beyond rescue.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    "Ambush!"


    "Someone come!"


    The mercenary yelled.


    It was useless.


    The area was in chaos, and most people went to the hotel to put out the fire. Even if there were some who stayed behind, they had already been cleared. Who would have thought that the bizarre fire was aimed at a little apprentice.


    Not a single companion was brought.


    Oscar recited a spell, and when his eyes reopened, his pupils glowed slightly. This was a low-level auxiliary spell [Apprentice''s Eye]. Although it was not very useful, it could strengthen the naked eye and find the target even in the smoke.


    Six masked men climbed over the wall.


    Each of them held a military crossbow and pulled the trigger at the same time, and a wave of arrows shot out like raindrops. Some were blocked by shields, and some fell on wooden windows. The arrows were tied with burning objects and set the house on fire.


    The spell was completed instantly, and the talisman instantly ignited and turned into a cone-shaped fireball.


    Oscar originally wanted to sneak attack and kill one of the opponents first, but he miscalculated. The masked man could not see, but heard the sound of breaking through the air. He quickly turned sideways, and the fireball brushed past him and ignited a big tree behind him.


    These people are not weak!


    The masked killer turned back and fired an arrow.


    "Ah!"


    A mercenary was shot in the calf by an arrow and fell to the ground with a scream. The military crossbow is an excellent weapon. Its range is not as good as a bow, but its power at a short distance is stronger than an ordinary longbow.


    "Don''t mess around!"


    Oscar only has 4 talisman activation spells left!


    Now we have to save every opportunity to cast a spell!


    Oscar''s brain worked at high speed, and he took out a talisman from his talisman pocket and completed the spell of [Level 1 Talisman Activation]. The moment the talisman was thrown out, it naturally turned into ash in an instant. This is a level 1 spell - Flame Dance!


    An invisible force spread out, and the flames burning on the houses and trees seemed to be attracted by some force, and at the same time they were peeled off, floating in the air, and finally turned into several streams of fire.


    The flame dance technique itself has no power.


    It can use the flames of the environment to launch attacks.


    The masked killer obviously didn''t expect that Oscar, a small 6-ring warlock, would be more difficult to deal with than a formal warlock, but they were all experienced warriors. Although the flames looked impressive, they were strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and their lethality was limited.


    Oscar showed superb spell skills, and manipulated several streams of fire to surround the masked killer in front.


    At the same time, he drew out two talismans to activate them - "Level 1 Oil Making Technique!"


    A stream of liquid splashed.


    The masked killer was shocked, and one of them shouted: "Damn it, it''s oil!"


    Boom!


    The stream of fire fell.


    In an instant, a large area of ??fire ignited.


    Several masked men caught fire and beat themselves up in a panic.


    Too strong!


    Everyone was stunned at the same time.


    The spells activated by the talisman are borrowed from external forces and cannot be sent and received freely like direct casting. This is a well-known fact, but Oscar used it to perfection, completing a series of dazzling actions in just a few seconds.


    It sounds complicated, but it''s just a moment!


    From the appearance of the man in black to now, it''s only more than 40 seconds at most!


    In this kind of sudden attack, ordinary warlocks can''t complete the counterattack in a flash, let alone be nervous and unable to recite the spell!


    Oscar has a hard time.


    A 6th-level warlock can only prepare 6 [Talisman Activation] spell templates.


    Oscar can no longer use talismans, and even his mana has been consumed, and he basically has no combat ability.


    The captain of the soldiers quickly ordered: "Now! Send a distress signal!"


    After a series of attacks, the masked man could no longer attack. A soldier took out his gun, loaded a flare, raised his right hand and pointed it at the sky, about to send a distress signal.


    Suddenly, some invisible force descended!


    Boom!


    The right hand exploded for no reason.


    "Ah, my hand!"


    The soldier''s three fingers were broken, and the flare gun was broken. He covered his broken right hand and screamed miserably. Several more masked men jumped out from behind, among whom stood a man wearing a tattered black robe, with a hunched body and a bone staff in his hand.


    Oscar was shocked when he saw this.


    The masked man shot out another strong arrow, and the mercenary was caught off guard and fell to the ground screaming.


    As soon as the arrows were all shot, he decisively abandoned the crossbow.


    The masked killer pulled out a cold long knife!


    The captain of the soldiers was shocked and angry, "Damn it, how did these people infiltrate the town!"


    Oscar clenched his fists!


    It''s not infiltration!


    These killers were originally from the town!


    Alice saw a series of changes, she was very scared, stood in front of Oscar, and hurriedly pushed Oscar and said, "Master, run away!"


    Oscar was very helpless.


    He couldn''t escape!


    These killers are not weak in martial arts, they are well-trained, and they came prepared. Oscar reacted hastily, how could he escape. If it was just an ordinary killer, it would be fine... With that black robe warlock, Oscar had no chance at all!


    "Fight!"


    The captain threw away his shield, roared and charged, wanting to fight to the death.


    The swords collided, sparks flew.


    In the end, the masked killer''s long knife, cunningly avoided the blade, and stabbed into the captain''s chest like a venomous snake.


    Several masked people surrounded him and hacked the captain to death.


    Soldiers and mercenaries fell in a pool of blood.


    None of them could stand up.


    A mercenary who was shot by an arrow fell to the ground and roared angrily: "Who are you!"


    The masked man stabbed his heart with a knife.


    These guys killed without blinking an eye, and their martial arts were not weak. Judging from their combat power, one of them could beat three or four regular soldiers!


    This was not a battle of different levels from the beginning!


    "Brother Oscar! Run!"


    Another mercenary who was shot in the leg picked up an axe and threw it at the black-robed man.


    The black-robed man raised the axe lightly, and the rotating axe stopped in the air, and an invisible hand held it.


    With a clang!


    The axe fell to the ground.


    The mercenary''s eyes were about to burst, and he roared unwillingly: "Damn it!"


    The black-robed warlock waved his hand lightly, and the green flames engulfed the mercenary. With a shrill scream, he was burned into a stinking charred corpse.


    "These bad guys!"


    "Why do you want to kill the mercenary brother!"


    Alice was shocked, scared, and full of anger.


    These mercenaries were sent by One-Eye to guard the courtyard, so they were very familiar with Oscar and Alice. Now they died tragically in front of them one by one. Alice was kind-hearted and of course could not accept it.


    Oscar gritted his teeth and suddenly asked, "You must be Liu Rufeng!"


    "I haven''t used this name for a long time." The black robe warlock''s voice was hoarse, as if gravel was mixed in his throat. A pair of bloodshot eyes stared at Oscar, but his eyes were very calm. He continued, "You are the most powerful apprentice I have ever seen, and you are indeed a genius. Unfortunately, you are wrong to be on the opposite side of me! Today, you must die!"


    It was indeed the dead magician Liu Rufeng!


    In fact, there is no need for more than a dozen martial arts masters. Liu Rufeng alone is enough to raze the courtyard to the ground!


    This person can control a thousand zombies, which means that his magic power has reached 40 rings and he is a strong man in the realm of a great magician. The sorcerers in Baisong Town are basically apprentices. There are dozens of sorcerers, but not a single master, let alone a great master.


    Although strength is composed of many factors, the level of realm does not completely represent strength, but it is one of the most direct and important criteria for measuring strength.


    Liu Rufeng''s magic power is also one of the strongest in Baicheng!

 Chapter 27 The Power of Terror

    The courtyard was in a mess, with fire all over the ground, houses and trees burning, and the air was filled with choking smoke. The bodies of mercenaries and soldiers were lying all over the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. .


    More than a dozen masked men, holding long knives, surrounded the four sides, leaving no escape loopholes.


    The battle was very sudden!


    Oscar didn''t expect that the other party would be so bold and choose to fight in broad daylight!


    Oscar didn''t expect that the Necromancer had a group of well-trained killers in addition to the zombie army!


    The Necromancer was a genius warlock of twenty years-Liu Rufeng!


    A real master warlock!


    A great warlock who knows the magic of the dead!


    There are only nine masters in the entire Baicheng area, and Zhao Pu is one of them!


    Zhao Pu is several times weaker than Liu Rufeng!


    Great warlocks are also strong and weak. Liu Rufeng is a 40-ring warlock, a full-level great warlock. Because of his knowledge of the magic of death, the zombie army he created with years of hard work is ten times more dangerous than ordinary magicians.


    Liu Rufeng stood in front of Oscar, but he didn''t rush to take action. He asked in a hoarse voice: "Where are my notes?"


    No wonder he didn''t hesitate to take risks and killed Oscar in the town!


    Resentment is secondary. The main reason is that he is worried that the research will be announced. The magic of death is the hard work of Liu Rufeng for most of his life. He is also a very arrogant person. He will never allow his knowledge to be leaked, so that the magic of death can be studied by everyone, or even become a common thing on the street.


    Therefore, Oscar must die!


    Oscar knew that he couldn''t escape, and Liu Rufeng would not let him go. He held Alice''s hand and said, "Let her go, and I will return the notes to you!"


    Liu Rufeng looked indifferent and said coldly, "You are not qualified to negotiate."


    "She is innocent!" Oscar faced the extremely powerful Liu Rufeng, but there was no fear in his eyes: "Let her go, I am willing to exchange things with you!"


    Although Alice was afraid, she said stubbornly: "If the young master doesn''t leave, I won''t leave either!"


    Liu Rufeng ignored Alice and said in a hoarse voice: "What can you do to attract me?"


    Several thoughts flashed through Oscar''s mind, and he finally made a decision: "I have read all the research notes on the dead demon. Your technique is flawed, and I can improve it!"


    "Nonsense!" The calm Liu Rufeng suddenly became furious like a cat whose tail was stepped on. His hoarse voice became unusually high and roared, "This is the most perfect technique in the world. How can it be flawed! A mere apprentice dares to question me?"


    Oscar said calmly: "Your control method is completely wrong, so it has become what it is today!"


    "Shut up, shut up!" Liu Rufeng was angry and roared: "Don''t think I don''t know, you just want to delay time! You want to fool me with this trick? Come on! Stomp them!"


    Liu Rufeng is arrogant and conceited. The magic of death is his greatest achievement. How can he tolerate doubts?


    No matter how much knowledge he has, he looks like a 16-year-old boy and his identity is a 6-ring apprentice. Oscar''s words are not convincing. Liu Rufeng is moody again, and his self-esteem is insulted, so he suddenly becomes furious.


    "Don''t hurt the young master!" Alice suddenly burst out with courage and immediately stood up and shouted: "Come and kill me! Don''t kill the young master!"


    Oscar''s eyes were slightly hot, and he murmured: "Alice, you..."


    The girl forgot her fear, stood up resolutely, spread her hands, and blocked in front of her, wanting to use her petite body to protect the person she cares about most.


    He is the person the girl trusts most.


    He is the person the girl cares about the most.


    He is the person the girl likes the most!


    In Alice Mu''s eyes, Oscar is the sky, the only relative, the only one to rely on. Alice Mu absolutely cannot bear that Oscar was killed in front of her. Although humble and weak, as long as she is alive, she will defend Oscar!This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.


    Oscar sighed in his heart.


    Alice, you are really too stupid!


    Is Oscar really that good?


    You have done so much, is it really worth it?


    Oscar has long understood life and death, fame and fortune, and he is not a person of this era, so he has no sense of belonging. Even if he dies, he has no worries, but he has implicated Alice, which makes him feel very guilty.


    "Kill me!"


    Alice wanted to rush forward without hesitation, but Oscar pulled her back.


    "Alice, I''m not afraid of death." Oscar hugged the girl, with a gentle and guilty look on his face, saying, "My biggest regret is that I didn''t have time to become stronger and didn''t have time to make it up to you!"


    The girl said with tears in her eyes: "Master..."


    The masked killer raised his hand, and the ruthless blade was about to chop!


    Oscar closed his eyes: "Don''t be afraid, Alice, I will be with you."


    "No!"


    "I don''t want you to die!"


    This critical moment!


    Alice''s blood boiled, and a gate in her magic soul was opened. A powerful energy and consciousness gushed out like a flood, instantly filling her petite body and finally overflowing from her body.


    Purple-black energy suddenly gushed out!


    The steel knife was directly crushed!


    Alice was surrounded by energy and shouted angrily: "Don''t hurt the master!"


    The four masked men, like kites with broken strings, flew out at the same time, some hitting the wall, and some hitting the tree. The whole body burst into the sound of bones breaking, the shattered internal organs gushed out of the mouth, blood flowed from all seven orifices, limbs twisted, and died tragically on the spot.


    Oscar was also hit by the purple-black energy, but it was like a layer of cotton. Although he was pushed more than ten meters away, he did not cause any damage.


    Oscar sat on the ground with a horrified expression: "This power, could it be..."


    Alice released very strong energy, and the floor within a range of two meters was shattered. Then a terrible shadow was released, covering the petite body, blurry and hideous, like a demon. It was obviously not mature, but only a small part was released.


    A trace of purple-black electric light flowed around her body. At this moment, Alice was controlled by the power and completely lost consciousness.


    She muttered in her mouth: "You deserve to die, you all deserve to die..."


    Liu Rufeng had never thought that this would happen. He frowned slightly and ordered: "Go!"


    The masked man hesitated, but still raised his knife and chopped it up.


    As a result, the knife chopped on the shadow.


    Dang!


    It was like cutting into steel, all blocked outside, unable to split the shadow and hurt the girl inside.


    Alice slowly raised her head, her eyes turned dark, like a deep black hole, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth. The sweet and pure girl was like a demon crawling out of the abyss at this moment, cruel and terrifying, pointing a finger at the masked man, muttering, "Go to hell!"


    The masked killer didn''t even have a chance to dodge!


    The purple-black lightning shot out and instantly penetrated the body. The whole body exploded, and the broken flesh and bones were scattered all over the ground. The largest piece was no larger than the thumb.


    This is just the beginning!


    Mu Alice''s power was increasing little by little, and the terrifying purple-black lightning erupted one after another, tearing the space and destroying everything. The masked killers were all blasted into minced meat one after another, bursting with blood, broken flesh, and broken bones, just like exploding fireworks. The scene was like Shura Hell.


    Horror!


    It was simply horrifying!


    The harmless-looking little girl is actually a monster with demonic power!


    The scariest thing is that she can attack directly without a spell!


    The masked men with strong martial arts skills were crushed to death one by one like ants!


    "Master Liu!"


    "Help!"


    The only surviving masked man escaped back. .


    A ball of fire suddenly appeared on Liu Rufeng''s staff, and he said coldly, "Useless thing."


    "No, Master Liu!"


    Liu Rufeng released his power and burned the masked man into charcoal. He didn''t even look at him, staring at Alice with his eyes, muttering to himself: "Is there a demon living in her body? Or, she is not human at all!"


    Alice lost her target, her eyes fell on Liu Rufeng, and she muttered to herself: "You are going to die too!"


    One finger.


    Purple-black lightning shot out!


    Liu Rufeng stood still, and when he inserted his staff into the ground, a golden and yellow energy shield appeared. Purple and black lightning struck the energy shield, and suddenly there was a loud bang, and the nearby floor shattered.


    "Not bad power."


    "It''s my turn!"


    Liu Rufeng was a great magician, and he instantly completed a powerful spell and threw out a giant flaming spear.


    "Boom!"


    The giant flaming spear was bigger than Alice''s body, and it hit her hard. However, when it was a few meters away, it was like a thousand pounds, like a snail, and then disappeared inch by inch, and the shadow outside Alice''s body also shrank a little.


    They were actually on par!


    The power in Alice''s body could actually compete with a great magician!


    Liu Rufeng became excited, and another destructive spell appeared in his mind. Just as he was about to use it, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside.


    Are the reinforcements here?


    Several beams of lightning struck the shield, causing a large number of cracks on the shield.


    Liu Rufeng glanced at Oscar.


    Nothing was said.


    An earth-based spell was cast, and Liu Rufeng flew hundreds of meters and disappeared in the yard.


    Alice had long been unconscious. Although Liu Rufeng had left, her killing intent had not diminished at all. She kept muttering to herself, "Kill, kill..."


    "Alice!"


    Alice heard Oscar''s voice and immediately turned her head slowly. Her whole body was full of violence and killing intent. She stretched out a finger, and the tip of her finger condensed lightning. The direction of the target was Oscar.


    Oscar frowned and shouted, "Alice, look carefully! Don''t you recognize me?"


    Mu Alice was about to launch an attack, but suddenly heard this. Her expression was slightly stunned. The lightning on her fingertips condensed to the extreme. As long as the power was released, Oscar would be blown to pieces in an instant. She showed a struggling look, and the black shadow shrank back into her body, and all the power disappeared.


    Alice stood there, showing a look of confusion, swaying, and fell to the ground.


    Oscar quickly stood up and ran over to pick up Alice.


    Her hair turned purple again, and her skin was extremely dark, once again contaminated by the evil and dark power.


    This time the contamination was quite serious.


    Bang!


    There was a loud noise outside the door.


    One-Eye arrived with dozens of mercenaries.

 Chapter 28 Death Reincarnates

    The scene was extremely tragic, with blood staining the ground and broken flesh everywhere. The entire courtyard had been destroyed, the floor was severely damaged, and the house was on fire and was burning fiercely. The one-eyed man stood at the door with a knife in his hand. The scene in front of him deeply shocked him.


    What kind of battle had happened here?


    Seeing Oscar was safe and sound, the one-eyed man exclaimed in surprise: "Boy, you..."


    "I''ll explain later, save people first!" Oscar ran out holding Alice and said anxiously: "Fluorescent tree potion, I need fluorescent tree potion!"


    The one-eyed man felt that this matter was not simple, and immediately turned back and shouted: "Let all the brothers nearby come over, and be sure to protect them for me."


    Oscar held the unconscious Alice and finally left in the crowd of mercenaries.


    The one-eyed man checked the situation in the courtyard. Four mercenaries and four soldiers died in the battle. Most of them had arrow wounds, a few were hacked to death, and one was burned to death by magic. The means were very cruel.


    "Boss, I found some things." A mercenary handed over a military crossbow and a long sword. "Standard military crossbow, the crossbow arrows are poisoned, and the swords are forged with fine iron. These people''s weapons are excellent, and they are definitely equipment directly ordered by a regular military factory. In addition, the killing method is professional, not ordinary people!"


    The one-eyed man stroked the smooth blade with his fingers, frowning: "This kind of knife has never been seen in the market, you ask the intelligence department to find out. I want to know which military factory made it, and who else ordered this kind of knife!!"


    "Yes!"


    The mercenary went to investigate with the long sword and military crossbow.


    The twelve killers were blown to pieces, and there was no clue to find the meat on the ground. One killer was burned to charcoal, and any evidence was burned, and even a complete corpse could not be found.


    Although Baisong Town is remote, it is still a peaceful place in this era. Such a serious incident has not occurred in the past ten years. The one-eyed man keenly felt that this matter was related to the dead magician outside.


    The target of this assassination operation is just a weak apprentice, which is like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken!


    "Set a fire outside first to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" The one-eyed man looked cold, "It must be someone in the town, don''t let me pull you out!"


    These assassins know the town very well and have made careful arrangements. Oscar is not prepared or has no time to defend. There is no reason why this assassination will fail. So what is the matter with the minced meat on the ground? The one-eyed man does not think that the apprentice-level magic power can reverse the inevitable death.


    "Clean up, don''t leak the news first."


    "Yes!"


    The mercenaries surrounded the house and cleaned up the scene. The nearby residents heard a series of loud noises and didn''t know what happened. Some people came to watch but were stopped.


    The Snow Wolf Mercenaries announced to the public that it was just an ordinary fire. As for the explosion, it was an accident caused by the ignition of gunpowder. Because mercenaries are special, it is not too strange to store some gunpowder privately.


    Although the Snow Wolf mercenaries tried to conceal the matter, the truth could not be hidden. A few hours later, something happened that caused the whole town to panic.


    The search team returned.


    This team was attacked and suffered heavy losses. At least 213 people were killed and more than 20 people were missing. This was the worst loss in Baisong Town in the past ten years. When the bodies of the soldiers were pulled back, the onlookers were stunned.


    Most of these bodies were hit by blunt objects, with broken heads and sunken chests. The death was very miserable, and some were simply torn into pieces!


    "Orcs!"


    "It must be the orcs coming!"


    There was panic in Baisong Town.


    Only the orcs have such strong strength, breaking the head like cracking an egg, and tearing the body of the warrior like tearing a piece of paper. The highlands are only 240 kilometers away from Baisong Town. When the orcs went south to plunder, Baisong Town was one of the main towns affected!


    Everyone only guessed part of it right.


    The troops encountered orc warriors, but they were not living orcs, but a group of zombie orcs. The combat effectiveness of the orcs was originally one level higher than that of humans. They were born with supernatural powers and strong physiques. After a series of treatments, they were made into zombies, which were simply perfect killing machines.


    A well-equipped detachment of several hundred people faced less than 50 orcs, but they were crushed and defeated. Only two orc zombies were killed.Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.


    The disparity in combat effectiveness is obvious!


    Wang Jian was furious when he heard the news. He broke three vases in a row and regretted it in his heart. He did not listen to Oscar''s warning at the beginning. Now he made a mistake and it was difficult to recover!


    A senior officer asked Wang Jian: "Mayor, should we ask for help from Baicheng?"


    This matter has become a big deal. If Baicheng knows about it, he will be severely punished. Wang Jian was timid and afraid of losing his official hat. He thought to himself that it would be better to solve the problem first and then report it to Baicheng.


    "Nonsense! Do you need help for such a trivial matter?" Wang Jian made another stupid decision, "Don''t publicize it for now, I''ll get everything done first!"


    The officer frowned and said, "But..."


    Wang Jian remembered something, "I have an idea! Where is Oscar? Since we have to deal with an evil warlock, we can only ask for a better warlock!"


    Oscar is an apprentice, his talent is obvious to all, and he is more knowledgeable. Even the official warlocks of Baicheng came to listen to his lectures. He must have a way to deal with zombies.


    Wang Jian went to find Oscar and found that Oscar''s house had been sealed by mercenaries because of a fire. Wang Jian is incompetent, but not a fool. He felt that something was wrong, and immediately found out Oscar''s current location and ran over with a large group of soldiers.


    At this moment, Oscar was sitting in the room, taking care of Alice.


    Alice''s energy is too strong, and her fragile body cannot bear it, so it has been seriously contaminated. Several bottles of fluorescent tree potion can only barely suppress further deterioration. Alice is in a deep coma and shows no signs of waking up.


    Oscar had suspected it before, but now he can basically confirm that Alice''s physique must be the legendary [Reincarnation of the God of Death]!


    The owner of this physique is also called [Son of the God of Death]. Although it is called [Son of the God of Death], it is actually a female surname. This physique is very rare. Throughout the history of the human race, there are only three recorded documents, which are not known to ordinary people.


    Oscar was once a full-ring divine magician. One of his countless titles was the director of the Imperial Library. In some ancient books and legendary materials, he had read descriptions of the Son of the God of Death.


    The reincarnation of the God of Death, disaster is coming!


    The existence of the surname of disaster!


    Every time it appears, there will be a catastrophe, and the devil will be born!


    According to legend, this physique has a latent period of about 18 years. When the power has not awakened, the woman will be extremely ordinary, with mediocre or ugly appearance, ordinary or inferior talent, or even mentally retarded.


    In short, it is completely unnoticeable.


    The only feature is that before the body of the god of death matures, the owner must be a virgin and cannot be deflowered.


    When it is fully awakened at about 18 years old, this person will transform from a pupa into a butterfly, and will be reborn. Not only will he have an unparalleled appearance, but his talent, wisdom, and strength will all increase a thousandfold!


    It makes people feel chilling.


    Alice was very beautiful and intelligent before she awakened, and even before she awakened, her power often overflowed from her body. She will definitely surpass any recorded son of the god of death in history. Once fully awakened, not only will he have an unprecedented appearance, but his power will also increase to an unimaginable height.


    The body of the god of death is called the body of catastrophe, because excessive power is not a good thing.


    If you can''t control the power, then you will be controlled by it in turn.


    Liu Rufeng is like this.


    So he became a madman.


    In history, the sons of the god of death, after awakening their power, eventually became cold-blooded, cruel, bloodthirsty, and almost uncaring, and eventually caused a catastrophe of the name of the disaster, and became a demon king that everyone trembled and feared!


    Alice is a kind and considerate girl.


    Will she become a cold-blooded god of death?


    Will she attack me at that time?


    Oscar was a little confused.


    Alice almost killed Oscar just now, but the awakening of power was incomplete, and Alice''s will was left and not completely suppressed, otherwise Oscar would have become a pile of minced meat. Is this power a good thing for her?


    Oscar wiped the dirt off Alice''s face with a towel and muttered to himself: "There must be a way to stop it."


    In fact, killing the son of the god of death before it matures is the only way to prevent the catastrophe.


    How could Oscar do it?


    It doesn''t matter!


    Isn''t it just the body of the god of death?


    After a series of thoughts, Oscar had a confident smile on his lips.


    Who is he?


    Fifteen thousand years later, from the peak period of the magic civilization, he is the greatest magician of the contemporary era. He has invented dozens of forbidden techniques alone, and his influence is unprecedented and shocking.


    I dare not say about the future, but looking back at history, his knowledge is rich and rarely matched!


    Oscar firmly believes that there is no unsolvable problem in the world.


    Oscar will stay with Alice, study the body of the god of death, and try to find a way to have the best of both worlds. It is best to let Alice retain her sanity and use that power freely, which is enough to rival the power of a magician!


    At the very least, Oscar can suppress the power and let Alice live a normal life.


    "I must become stronger!"


    Oscar has a strong desire to become stronger.


    Is the divine magician really the limit of mortal magicians?


    Oscar has too many advantages after his rebirth. One day, he will break the limit of mortals and become a higher-level existence, so even the son of the god of death can be controlled!


    For Alice, he has to fight hard!


    After this crisis, Oscar is eager for power, but the improvement of magic power is not a matter of one day or one night. He must think of other ways to enhance his strength and ensure safety!


    The mercenary outside the door said: "The mayor is here, do you want to see him?"


    Oscar stood up after hearing this, "You are just in time, I was just going to find him! Let him in!"


    The mercenary brought the mayor in.


    Wang Jian was relieved to see Oscar was safe and sound, and immediately shouted, "Brother Oscar, I really regret that I didn''t listen to your advice, so I made a big mistake! You must help me, you must help me!"


    Oscar shook his head and said, "Let''s not talk about these, let''s talk about you first!"


    Wang Jian was stunned, "What do you mean?"


    Oscar took out the diary from his arms and handed it to Wang Jian, "This is the diary of the death warlock. I can conclude that this person is from Baisong Town, and it is the genius warlock who left Baisong Town 20 years ago-Liu Rufeng!"


    Bang!


    The black diary fell to the ground.


    Wang Jian was stunned for a long time.


    "What did you say... He, he is... He is Xiao Feng!"


    Oscar sat down at the table, "This matter started 20 years ago, and it is related to the grudges between the three of you. Shouldn''t you tell me about what happened?"


    Wang Jian, the fat and funny mayor, seemed to be a different person at this moment. His eyes were slightly red, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Are you sure it was him?"


    "Absolutely sure!"


    Wang Jian collapsed on the ground, as if he had suffered an unprecedented blow, "How could this happen? How could this happen! So many years have passed, do you still hate me so much?"

 Chapter 29 Crossroads of Destiny

    In the cold and deep cave, torches were erected all around, crackling and burning, and the whole space was silent. The orcs stood in a row in front, with arrows stuck in their bodies because of the daytime battle. A bunch of ferocious wolf-toothed hammers, stained with red and white, were casually placed beside them.


    "Cough cough..."


    Liu Rufeng started coughing, and a bellows-like sound came out of his chest, echoing in the cold and lonely cave.


    A zombie was commanded to come forward and pull out the arrow stuck in the zombie''s body.


    Suddenly, footsteps were heard, and several men in black rushed in.


    Liu Rufeng was concentrating on repairing the gap on the zombie, without even turning his head, and said in a hoarse and low voice: "I knew you would come back!"


    A steady and gloomy voice sounded: "You made such a big fuss, shouldn''t you give me an explanation?"


    Liu Rufeng leaned on a long stick, hunched over, and slowly turned around. Eight men in black stood in front of him, breathing steadily, with sharp eyes, each of them was a martial arts master. The leader was a middle-aged man, tall, with deep eyes and slightly gray temples.


    "Duan, I hope you can figure out the relationship between us." Liu Rufeng''s eyes were cold, and his hoarse and low voice echoed in the cave, "I am not your subordinate. Do I have to report to you if I do anything?"


    Duan narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were as dangerous as a venomous snake, "You caused me to lose 14 people!"


    Liu Rufeng laughed and said, "It''s just fourteen small chess pieces. You have plenty of chess pieces in your hand. You don''t care about these."


    Duan''s eyes were calm, and he didn''t look angry. He just said lightly: "I have funded you for many years without charge, and even helped you realize your dream. Shouldn''t you consider my feelings?"


    "Free funding? Tsk tsk... Do you really think of me as a three-year-old child?" Liu Rufeng''s hoarse voice was like the low cry of a night owl, full of madness and disdain, "We are just using each other! You need my strength, I need your resources, I have my dreams, and you have your ambitions. We each achieve our own goals, that''s all, isn''t it?"


    The cave was silent.


    The charcoal was burning in the brazier.


    The cave was still extremely cold.


    Duan said lightly: "My years of disguise and hiding may be ruined in one day."


    "Your style is impervious to leaks." Liu Rufeng seemed to be able to see through the other party''s thoughts, "How can I rest assured to cooperate with you?"


    The Du family has been hiding for many years.


    Condensing a powerful force in secret!


    Liu Rufeng is a chess piece, an extremely important chess piece. Duan needs to use Liu Rufeng''s power to seize Baisong Town, so as to realize the first step of the plan. Liu Rufeng''s dream is to build the town into an ideal death kingdom, and the two overlap.


    However, Duan has been operating in secret.


    If Liu Rufeng fails, Duan can completely cut off his relationship with Liu Rufeng, and then continue his normal life and look for other opportunities. Liu Rufeng is also a shrewd person. He will not allow this to happen, so he wants to tie Duan to the chariot.


    Therefore, he cannot be allowed to retreat.


    In this way, he can fully assist himself.


    Although Liu Rufeng failed to assassinate Oscar, he deliberately left behind a crossbow and a long sword as clues. As long as the investigation continues, the factory where these weapons were made and the people who bought them will soon be involved, and eventually they will be traced back to Duan.


    Duan''s expression was uncertain, but he soon returned to normal. He suddenly chuckled and said, "Forget it. At this point, if they can really find me, what''s the use? By the way, how are you prepared?"


    "You just need to be responsible for secretly assisting, and the whole town will inevitably become a place of death!"


    "Very good." Duan nodded with satisfaction, "I have informed the other side, and they will arrive in three days at most. They will use Baisong Town as a springboard to take Baicheng directly. Once Baicheng is captured, you will have no worries. As long as you capture Baisong Town, you will be the king here!"


    Liu Rufeng''s eyes showed fanaticism.


    Duan also smiled, "Now let''s talk about the details!"


    The two people with their own ulterior motives put aside their prejudices and discussed the specific content of the plan again.

    Baisong Town, inside the hotel.


    Wang Jian talked about the past.


    More than 20 years ago, Wang Jian, Lin Bairong, and Liu Rufeng grew up together.


    The three families have been good friends since their fathers'' generation. They are neighbors and playmates.


    Liu Rufeng showed amazing talent in magic in his childhood, and his appearance was handsome and sunny. At that time, his family was relatively well-off, and he was definitely in the upper class of the town. Countless girls had a crush on him.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.


    Wang Jian was much more ordinary. He was short and fat since he was a child, with an ordinary appearance, an ordinary family background, a weak and dull personality, and was bullied every day.


    As a result, the two of them fell in love with the beautiful and lively Lin Bairong at the same time.


    Liu Rufeng was very confident. With his handsome appearance and amazing talent, he did have the confidence. In fact, both parents agreed very much, and even arranged an engagement banquet for the two early on. If the two of them could be together, wouldn''t it be a good thing for Baisong Town?


    The whole town thinks that this is a match made in heaven!


    Because there is no more suitable marriage than this!


    Liu Rufeng also thinks so. He and Lin Bairong are already engaged. This matter seems to be a done deal!


    Fate always likes to play jokes.


    Lin Bairong doesn''t like the handsome and talented Liu Rufeng. Instead, she has a secret crush on the dull and ordinary Wang Jian. She resolutely resists her parents'' will and secretly dates Wang Jian. But knowing Liu Rufeng''s character, she has been busy with Liu Rufeng.


    Liu Rufeng never dreamed that his fianc¨¦e and his friend would secretly get together.


    Wang Jian said this, showing great regret and strength: "Because we know Xiaofeng''s character too well, geniuses are often proud, he must not be able to accept this fact, so we choose to conceal it!"


    Soon, Liu Rufeng was accepted as a disciple by a famous magician in Baicheng.


    Liu Rufeng went to Baicheng to further study magic with his dream. Lin Bairong and Wang Jian chose to practice martial arts. Liu Rufeng didn''t know that Lin Bairong chose this way to avoid him.


    4 years!


    Liu Rufeng was obsessed with martial arts, and he made rapid progress. Finally, he made a sensation in Baicheng with a research and won the honor of Baicheng Newcomer King. He thought of Lin Bairong, who he had been thinking about day and night, and decided to take the trophy and return to the town in a grand manner, propose to his beloved woman, and marry her.


    A bolt from the blue happened.


    Lin Bairong and Wang Jian had already decided to spend their lives together. The two of them canceled their engagement without any means.


    Liu Rufeng was extremely proud and had never been taken seriously by Wang Jian. How could such a weak, dull, and ordinary person become an opponent?


    But the reality was extremely cruel. Lin Bairong finally chose him.


    Liu Rufeng was young and arrogant. He could not accept the facts, the loss of his beloved, and even more so, this kind of failure. He had unprecedented doubts about himself. He ran away from home on the night of his wedding, and has not been heard from since.


    Wang Jian was full of guilt: "We never thought that it would cause greater harm, let alone such serious consequences, and we have always felt guilty. But how could things turn out like this? Why on earth is this happening!"


    Oscar looked at the fat man''s painful and guilty look, shook his head and sighed, "After Liu Rufeng left the town, he spent the next ten years studying death spells. Unfortunately, his practice method was flawed. As his magic power increased, his emotions began to change, so he became what he is today."


    This is actually a very ordinary love story.


    In the history of the human race, wandering beggars have counterattacked the princess of the demon race, and Oscar didn''t find it strange at all. This little thing 20 years ago eventually became the fuse 20 years later, creating a terrifying avenger, which is hard to imagine and understand.


    Wang Jian clenched his fist and said, "No matter how much Xiaofeng hates me, the townspeople are innocent. I can''t watch his crazy plan come to fruition! Do you have any way to stop him?"


    "Liu Rufeng is a great magician with profound attainments in the magic of the dead. His strength has reached 40 rings. He has refined thousands of zombies over the years. If there is enough time to prepare, or if there is enough strength, I have a hundred ways to stop him. But now... there are only a few days left. To be honest, I don''t know, but I will give it a try. I need more than 10 magicians to help."


    "No problem!"


    Oscar wrote out a list of materials, "No matter what method, you must collect all the materials within 3 days!"


    On one side is the great magician.


    On the other side is the apprentice boy.


    This is not a duel of the same level.


    Oscar can completely find a way to pat his butt and fly away. Anyway, he has money in his hands, so why can''t he live a good life? But Oscar is not an ordinary person after all. He was once a divine magician who shocked the ancient and modern times and achieved countless brilliant achievements and glory.


    The pride of a divine magician will not let him choose to escape!


    Oscar was once an orphan and was adopted by a wandering warlock. He was Oscar''s first teacher. The old warlock had average knowledge, but he taught Oscar the principles of being a man and doing things. In summary, there are only eight words.


    Do not avoid difficulties, and do not escape responsibility!


    This ordinary wandering warlock eventually died with the monster when saving the small village, but he had a profound impact on Oscar''s life!


    In his future life, Oscar maintained an attitude of facing difficulties and taking responsibility, whether in learning or dealing with things. If not, he would not have reached such a brilliant height and won so many praises.


    Oscar can leave with Alice, what about the one-eyed man and other mercenaries?


    What about the hundreds of thousands of residents in the town?


    The degree of civilization and prosperity will affect people''s moral height to a certain extent. Oscar comes from a period of highly developed civilization. He is in a high position and highly respected. He will never back down on such things!


    Therefore, Liu Rufeng must be stopped!


    The Snow Wolf Inn is in chaos.


    Dozens of warlocks were talking about it. The hotel caught fire for no apparent reason today, and even Oscar''s house was burned down. They didn''t know if they could teach normally tomorrow. In addition, the news that the orcs were about to invade was spreading like wildfire in the town, which made them very uneasy. Some people were ready to pack up and go back.


    "Oscar is here!"


    "Ah, it''s really Oscar!"


    Oscar came to the Snow Wolf Hotel, and a large group of warlocks immediately surrounded him.


    "Everyone, I have something to say."


    Everyone was silent immediately.


    Oscar shouted, "I am very touched that you all don''t mind Oscar''s shallow knowledge and come to Baisong Town to exchange ideas. You should have heard about what happened today. Baisong Town is in crisis, and your safety is difficult to guarantee. I have discussed with the mayor and asked him to send an elite team to escort you back to White City."


    The warlocks were very disappointed when they heard this.


    "In addition, I need a few formal warlocks to help complete some things and help the town through the crisis. If someone is willing to stay and help me, I dare not say anything else, at least he will not suffer any loss."


    Everyone was silent.


    Judging from the current situation, the town is likely to be attacked by orcs. If they stay, it will be too dangerous. These warlocks are generally the children of wealthy merchants or aristocratic families. They are all spoiled and dare not take risks. In addition, Oscar requires that they must be warlocks. Among these dozens of people, there are only three or four warlocks.


    "Me!"


    "I do!"


    "I do!"


    With a piercing shout, a tall and plump beautiful woman rushed out excitedly.


    Qin Yue squeezed out of the crowd with excitement, raised her white jade hands high, and kept repeating: "I do!"


    There are countless crossroads in fate.


    Every decision, every change of mind, may affect a lifetime.


    For example, Liu Rufeng''s obsession destroyed a genius and created a monster.


    Many years later.


    When Qin Yue''s name spread all over the world, he could not help but feel extremely fortunate for his seemingly impulsive choice when he recalled the past. The other warlocks present were beating their chests and stamping their feet, spending their ordinary lives in endless regret and annoyance.

 Chapter 30 Qin Yues Shock

    Qin Yue is 1.7 meters tall, wearing high-heeled boots and a red robe. She is graceful and tall, with a pair of perfect long legs, plump and slender, extremely beautiful, and her plump and graceful figure cannot be hidden by the warlock robe. Although she is not old, she is full of mature charm and natural beauty. Oscar looked at her for a few times. Her skin is delicate and tender, and her clothes are made of high-quality materials. She must have been born in a wealthy family. She has a delicate oval face, looks gentle, dignified and beautiful, and wears a pair of glasses, which slightly hides her enchanting temperament and highlights her intellectual beauty. Qin Yue wears glasses, not because her eyes are bad, but a kind of auxiliary warlock glasses. It can protect the eyes from harm during normal experiments or battles. Most warlocks will wear them. "What''s your name?"


    "I''m Qin Yue, a 16th-ring warlock. I''m good at water and wood magic! I''ve published 31 papers, improved 9 spells, and invented 2 spells. By the way, I also have some research and experience in potions. I''ve passed the pharmacist qualification exam and have..."


    "Okay, okay, you don''t have to tell me these things." Oscar was quite satisfied. A 16th-ring warlock is a warlock. Although he can''t compare with Liu Rufeng, he is already stronger than all the warlocks in the town. However, he still said, "Are you sure you want to stay? There will be some terrible things in Baisong Town. You must be mentally prepared. I can''t guarantee your safety."


    Qin Yue didn''t even think about it. He clenched his fists, his eyes shining, and said firmly: "As long as I can learn knowledge, I am not afraid of any danger."


    Oscar showed his appreciation, "Very good."


    Qin Yue became a 16th-ring warlock when he was about 20 years old. His talent in cultivation was not much worse than Liu Rufeng. This kind of talent is a rare genius in Baicheng.


    With Oscar''s guidance, the future is promising.


    "Boy!"


    "Boy!"


    A voice like a broken gong sounded outside.


    One-eyed rushed in and saw Qin Yue at first sight. He couldn''t help but show surprise, and then looked at Oscar for a few more times, with an intriguing expression.


    Oscar knew that he was thinking wrong again, so he interrupted him immediately and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    One-eyed said, "The rare materials you asked the mercenaries to find have been found."


    Oscar didn''t expect the mercenaries to be so fast, and couldn''t help showing a hint of surprise. He looked at Qin Yue and then said, "You know how to make medicine? What a coincidence, come with me."


    Level 1 beast crystal, the fruit of the magic flower, and the root of the wailing grass.


    All three are very precious materials.


    Beast crystal is a kind of energy crystal in the body of the magic beast, which has a wide range of uses and is very valuable.


    The conditions for the formation of beast crystal are very harsh. When the magic beast is about to evolve, the mana will condense and eventually form a crystal-like energy substance. Only by hunting the monsters at this time can you get the beast crystal. It is useless to hunt too early or too late, and you will not get the beast crystal.


    This timing is difficult to grasp. Hunting a hundred monsters may not necessarily get a beast crystal.


    A first-level beast crystal is worth 10,000 silver coins, equivalent to 10 gold coins!


    The fruit of the magic flower and the rhizome of the wailing grass are also rare materials, worth thousands of silver coins!


    The three main materials are available.


    Oscar spent a few hundred silver coins to buy 5 ordinary materials. Everything is ready and he can start refining medicine.


    Qin Yue looked through the materials. There was no connection between them. He couldn''t think of what to refine.


    "You memorize these formulas." Oscar handed Qin Yue a piece of parchment, which was densely packed with symbols, words, and patterns.


    Three refining formulas.


    The two formulas are [Directional Extraction Formula of Sorrow Grass] and [Directional Extraction Formula of Magic Brilliance Flower]. Oscar came up with these two formulas temporarily. Sorrow Grass and Magic Brilliance Flower are materials with many uses and very complex ingredients. Using this formula to extract specific ingredients can be extracted. Qin Yue''s medicine refining skills are limited. In order to ensure the success rate, other precious ingredients were abandoned.


    Qin Yue was very shocked.


    No pharmacist has ever been able to extract a substance alone without considering other ingredients. This directed extraction method is simply unheard of.


    Qin Yue was shocked, and secretly thought in her heart: "If these two extraction formulas are announced, they will definitely cause a sensation in the field of pharmacy, enough to win several heavyweight trophies!"Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    Really amazing!


    She would never have thought of it.


    These two extraction formulas were actually thought up by Oscar in 10 minutes.


    Qin Yue finished reading the two and then read the third.


    [First-level beast crystal refining method], this one is not Oscar''s invention, but was written by Yi Haiyun, a famous sorcerer 7000 years later. The full name is [Yi Haiyun''s first-level refining formula for ordinary five-element beast crystals], which is specially prepared for novices. It is very safe and versatile. It is applicable to the refining of 931 common beast crystals. It is easy to use and very simple. Even without special training as a pharmacist or alchemist, you can complete the energy refining of beast crystals.


    In Oscar''s era, this formula was also written into the textbook of basic pharmacy as a classic.


    Its status can be imagined.


    Qin Yue''s brain banged, as if it exploded!


    More than ten years of cognition, all overturned!


    Gods above!


    What a powerful formula!


    The structure, level, and attributes of each magic beast are different, so the beast crystals bred are different, and the refining methods of different magic crystals are different!


    This is the most basic concept!


    There are more than thousands of first-level magic beasts?


    Therefore, the refining method of the first-level magic crystal alone can basically be compiled into hundreds of books as thick as bricks. Even most of the special beast crystals have not yet known the refining method!


    There has never been a refining formula that can be used for refining more than 5 kinds of beast crystals at the same time. Alchemists and alchemists cannot memorize so many refining methods. Therefore, every time they need to use magic crystals, they have to go to the library to find the correct formula from countless books of refining formulas. Some non-authoritative books may have wrong refining methods, resulting in explosions and threatening the life of the warlock!


    This simple formula can actually refine nearly a thousand common beast crystals.


    Qin Yue was dumbfounded.


    If this formula is published, its sensation will not be inferior to Oscar''s "The Discovery and Basic Application of Light Energy", and it may even be three points better!


    Oscar showed the precious formula that cannot be bought with ten thousand gold coins to a person who has not said 10 sentences without blinking an eye?


    Qin Yue was overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of happiness. She was trembling all over, her face flushed, and she was about to faint with excitement.


    She really wanted to scream loudly.


    Hug Oscar and kiss him hard again.


    No!


    I have to hold it back!


    I have to be reserved!


    Lest I leave a bad impression on Oscar!


    Qin Yue pretended to be calm and maintained a dignified image, but she felt a pain in her chest and almost got internal injuries.


    Oscar saw her strange expression and said impatiently: "Okay, after you memorize it, start refining the materials. We are going to make medicine."


    Qin Yue swallowed her saliva and asked carefully: "What potion is this?"


    "Magic Glory Fruit Potion, immediately increase the apprentice''s magic power by 1-3 rings, no side effects." Oscar said lightly: "I can''t find the second material in a short time. If you can succeed in refining it once, this formula will be given to you as a gift."


    Bang!


    A test tube fell to the ground and shattered.


    Qin Yue was completely unaware.


    He...what did he say, immediately increase the apprentice''s magic power by 1-3 rings!


    There is no side effect!


    Is there really such a good thing in the world?


    Oscar frowned.


    Qin Yue was startled when she saw this, and hurriedly lowered her head and wiped the water stains on the ground with her sleeves, "Sorry, I..."


    Qin Yue did not realize that when she bent down, she revealed a white wave, and the deep gap was enough to stimulate any man''s imagination.


    If this scene was seen by the people of Baicheng, they would be shocked.


    Qin Yue is the recognized school beauty of Baicheng Warlock Academy, and also a famous beauty in Baicheng. Others have always frowned and panicked when they see her.


    Oscar didn''t dare to look at it any more, and shook his head: "If you really follow me to learn in the future, you must be mentally prepared to accept new things and subvert your cognition. Your psychological quality needs to be improved."


    "You... you said..." Qin Yue stood up suddenly, and this action made her swollen chest surge, and she showed an ecstatic expression: "Can I learn from you?"


    Oscar said lightly: "It depends on your performance."


    "Yes!"


    Qin Yue was very excited.


    Great!


    Qin Yue didn''t care where Oscar''s knowledge came from, she just needed to understand that Oscar had a lot of knowledge. She was a magic fanatic, and she was willing to give everything to learn magic knowledge.


    Easily refined the materials.


    Qin Yue calmed down her nervous mood and began to refine the magic potion. If modern people were to study this potion, I don''t know how many cumbersome and complicated formulas would be written and how much precious materials would be consumed. Oscar was not so troublesome, one formula, one refinement, and it was done directly.


    Done!


    Oscar showed a hint of joy and took a small potion from Qin Yue''s white and soft hands. The shimmering blue liquid lay quietly, very beautiful.


    "Well done!" Oscar unscrewed the lid and drank it directly in one gulp, regardless of the fact that the potion was still hot.


    Qin Yue was stunned by this.


    He used the potion without any preparation?


    "I need 45 minutes, don''t let anyone disturb me!"


    Oscar sat down cross-legged and began to guide the potion''s power, strengthening the magic vortex bit by bit.


    The magic vortex was watered with power and immediately grew significantly. It easily increased to 7 rings, and the increase was still continuing. Then it increased to 8 rings, and the increase gradually decreased. At the last moment, it successfully broke through and stabilized at 9 rings.


    The potion varies from person to person.


    Oscar has extraordinary talent, so he can naturally achieve the greatest effect. .


    "Finally, there is a decent promotion." Oscar was not surprised at all. Everything seemed natural. He looked at Qin Yue and said, "The mission is completed. Let''s go."


    Qin Yue stared at Oscar as if he was looking at a monster, and asked in a skeptical tone: "In such a short world, have you really promoted?"


    Oscar glanced at him: "An hour ago, I was a 6-ring apprentice, and now I am a 9-ring apprentice. What do you think?"


    Qin Yue''s body tilted.


    He almost collapsed to the ground.


    How is this possible?


    There are thousands of warlocks with ordinary talents who can''t make an inch in their entire lives.


    Qin Yue is conceited about his superior talent, but it took him more than a year to do it!


    Oscar''s promotion is as easy as drinking boiled water.


    The most hateful thing is that he deliberately pretends to be indifferent!


    He must be deliberately irritating me!


    It must be like this!


    Qin Yue comforted herself in her heart, and she soon thought of another thing.


    Huh?


    Oscar seemed to have made a promise just now!


    He said... this formula belongs to me!


    Qin Yue was shocked again.


    She just remembered.


    This shocking formula belongs to her!


    If it is well developed and operated, it is not impossible for Qin Yue to become the richest man in Baicheng.


    Qin Yue obviously did nothing, Qin Yue couldn''t help but pinched the firm and elastic thigh.


    It hurts!


    This is not a dream!

 Chapter 31 Scarlet Vengeance

    Wang Jian was very efficient, and he invited all the magicians in the town to leave in two days. .


    The Li family was kicked out, and the number of magicians in the town dropped sharply. There were a total of 19 magicians, the weakest was 11 rings, and the strongest was 15 rings. Most of them were over 30 or 40 years old, and some were white-haired old men. Wang Jian spared no expense to invite them.


    Although Wang Jian was cowardly and weak, he had feelings for Baisong Town, where he grew up, and did not want the town to be destroyed, especially by Liu Rufeng.


    At present, the magicians were completely unaware. If they knew that they were going to fight against a great magician-level opponent, they would have been scared to death and immediately packed up and ran away.


    Wang Jian came over and said to Oscar with a flattering look: "The people and materials are basically here, can we start?"


    "Although there is not much time, it should be enough." Oscar looked around the square, nodded and said: "Let the soldiers surround the square and no one is allowed to enter."


    "Okay!"


    The central square of the town, 200 meters long and 100 meters wide, is usually the place for large-scale events. Hundreds of soldiers rushed into the square, driving away the vendors and townspeople in the shortest possible time, and at the same time surrounded the surroundings to prevent anyone from approaching.


    Oscar handed a stack of parchment to the warlocks. The content on the paper was written by Oscar in two days. It was full of a long string of profound spell symbols and complex array patterns. Both the symbols and the array were unheard of.


    Qin Yue''s blood boiled again.


    Although she couldn''t understand it at all, she could feel a strong sense of power in the array spell symbols and arrangement, as if some energy was about to burst out. This is definitely not something made up!


    "This is a formation, and each person is responsible for a part." Oscar raised a drawing and continued: "You must complete the formation engraving within 3 days, even if you don''t eat or drink, you must complete it for me, and you must not neglect it!"


    Liu Rufeng was too powerful, and he would die if he fought hard, so he could only take a risk once. As long as he suppressed the zombie army, the armed forces of the town should be enough to resist the rest.


    The warlocks started talking, their eyes full of disdain.


    "How can you set up the formation like this?"


    "It''s just a joke!"


    These warlocks were respected in the town, and now they had to listen to the command of a 16- or 17-year-old apprentice. Even if this apprentice was a genius who was in the limelight recently, they felt very unhappy.


    A warlock shouted: "Sorry, I think you found the wrong person! We are all very busy and don''t have time to mess around with an apprentice!"


    Another warlock shouted: "That''s right, a little apprentice, what can he do to command us?"


    "I came here to give face to the mayor, but I didn''t expect to be commanded by an apprentice. I quit!"


    "I quit too!"


    The warlocks said they wanted to leave one by one.


    Wang Jian was extremely anxious and hurriedly stopped him: "Wait, listen to my explanation..."


    Qin Yue was full of anger. These stupid guys, don''t they know how lucky it is to help Oscar? What Oscar brought out must be extraordinary. If they took the opportunity to learn a small part of the formation and studied it thoroughly, they would have unimaginable gains, enough to gain countless glory and wealth!


    Oscar gave a look to the one-eyed man next to him.


    The one-eyed man understood and immediately stood up with his eyes wide open, roaring like a mad tiger: "Catch the first person who spoke!"


    Several fierce mercenaries rushed into the warlocks, not giving the warlocks a chance to chant spells, and directly went up to fight with fists and feet. The first mercenary who started the trouble was dragged out and pressed on a stone platform in the square.


    The warlock roared hysterically: "How dare you beat up a formal warlock? I will sue you. I will sue you in the Warlock Alliance. You bunch of barbarians, wait for the sanctions!"


    The one-eyed man drew out the long knife from his waist with a swipe, and the mercenary tacitly straightened one of the warlock''s arms.


    The warlock screamed in horror: "What are you doing!"


    The one-eyed man raised his knife and chopped off a bloody arm in a flash of blood!


    "Ah!"


    The shrill screams echoed over the town.


    Everyone was moved. The warlocks who were shouting shut their mouths and looked terrified.


    Oscar frowned slightly. He just wanted to teach them a lesson. The one-eyed man was too cruel. He directly chopped off a warlock''s arm. Wang Jian was also stunned. The corners of his mouth moved, but he didn''t dare to speak.This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    The mercenary committed a crime in front of the mayor, but the mayor pretended not to see it.


    Others couldn''t help but understand the seriousness of the matter.


    "Listen to me clearly." The one-eyed man inserted the bloody long knife into the ground and roared murderously: "This is not a request, it''s an order! This is just a warning. Whoever dares to say another word, I will chop off his head directly! No one can save you! Do you hear it?"


    Threat!


    **Naked threat!


    Wang Jian and the soldiers were nearby, but they turned a blind eye. This was really terrible!


    Oscar saw that things had come to this point and there was no organization. He cleared his throat and stood up and said: "Now because of one less person, the work is evenly distributed on your heads. I still say that within three days, even if you don''t eat or drink, you must complete the task. Now you can start!"


    The warlock dared not say anything more and immediately began to act, refining materials and starting to work.


    Oscar said to the one-eyed man: "There may be a ghost in the town. Two hundred soldiers are not enough. Transfer some mercenaries to ambush nearby and prepare bows, crossbows and muskets. Anyone who tries to break in will be shot on the spot!"


    "Don''t worry, I will stay here in person."


    The one-eyed man didn''t know what Oscar wanted to do, but his intuition told him that he had to trust Oscar now, and he could only trust Oscar.


    There were few people in Baisong Town who could compete with the one-eyed man. With the one-eyed man and the mercenaries guarding him personally, and the regular army protecting him, the warlock himself was not weak, and it was basically foolproof. Oscar stayed behind to supervise, and if there were any mistakes in the steps or engravings, he could point them out in time.


    Wang Jian was responsible for commanding other fortifications.


    To the north of Baisong Town is the Frost Highlands. In order to resist the invasion of orcs or monsters, it has always paid more attention to military strength. Although it is just a small town, the number of defenders has reached about 2,500, plus 1,500 garrisoned mercenaries, a total of 4,000 troops. If they face Liu Rufeng''s 3,000 zombies, there is basically no chance of winning. Because zombies have basically no weaknesses, and they are powerful enough to invade, and it is difficult for swords to cause damage.


    With the advantage of the city wall, they can resist for a few days, at least until the reinforcements from Baicheng arrive.


    Oscar is the trump card, Wang Jian can''t sit and wait for death. Seeing that the situation is serious, now is not the time to care about official hats, and finally decided to ask Baicheng for help.


    On that day, the whole town was blocked off. Barrels of kerosene were boiled and hung on the city wall in wooden barrels. Gunpowder was buried in the trench outside the city wall, and a large number of arrows and ammunition were sent to the city wall, as if they were about to go to war with the orcs.


    There was panic in Baisong Town.


    At night, every house was closed.


    Baisong Town became a ghost town overnight.


    Wang Jian finished his inspection and went home under the protection of the guards. The night had completely fallen. When several people walked through a quiet street.


    Suddenly.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    The street lights on both sides went out one by one.


    Wang Jian was shocked and felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. He shouted, "No! Protect me!"


    Six guards surrounded Wang Jian.


    There were gusts of wind around, and black leaves fluttered down. The guards didn''t know what was going on. There were no broad-leaved trees planted in Baisong Town. Why did this kind of leaves appear? A leaf swept by, like a blade, cutting a guard''s neck.


    The guard fell to the ground, his neck completely cut open.


    "Not good!"


    "This is a spell!"


    This is a wood attack spell!


    The leaves are weak and powerless, but each leaf is as sharp as a blade. Several people surrounded by leaves were cut into pieces. The black leaves swept across the place, and leather armor could be easily cut. Amid screams and blood splashing, all seven people fell to the ground.


    Six guards.


    All dead.


    Wang Jian spewed blood from the corners of his mouth, and his two bloody hands struggled to crawl in one direction - that was the direction of home. At this moment, his heart was full of fear. He wanted to live, he really wanted to live. He didn''t want to leave his wife, and he didn''t want her to lose her husband.


    Can''t die!


    I can''t die!


    A hoarse voice sounded: "Finally we meet again, my friend."


    Wang Jian said with difficulty: "You...you...how come you..."


    Liu Rufeng walked out in a tattered black robe, without making any sound, like a ghost in the night, sneering: "You want to ask, why did I appear in the town?"


    Wang Jian said with a dead face: "Xiaofeng, please, let me go! Even for Bai Rong''s sake."


    "Hehehe..."


    Liu Rufeng laughed hoarsely, but it sounded more like the wail of an innocent soul, staring at the short, fat and ugly man on the ground, this despicable and shameless culprit who took away happiness and hope and caused him to suffer for 20 years.


    Wang Jian burst into tears: "I don''t want to die, I really don''t want to die!"


    Liu Rufeng laughed hoarsely, and his heart became more and more disgusted. How could such a thing be worthy of her? If it weren''t for the despicable means, how could this bug-like thing get her?


    Wang Jian cried out, "As long as you spare my life, I will agree to anything you want!"


    Liu Rufeng trembled all over, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Look at you, how could Bai Rong choose you?"


    Heavy footsteps sounded behind Liu Rufeng, and a figure holding a battle axe walked step by step to Wang Jian. This was a zombie.


    How could a zombie appear in the town?


    Wang Jian showed a horrified expression - did Liu Rufeng hide the zombies in the town instead of in the wild?


    Liu Rufeng grinned and said, "It''s time to pay back the debt!"


    Wang Jian clenched his fists, his face flushed. He knew that he was going to die, but a fire suddenly ignited in his heart. He shouted in the resting place, "Liu Rufeng, do you really want to know why Bai Rong chose me instead of you?"


    Liu Rufeng was slightly stunned.


    Wang Jian took a deep breath. He had been a coward for half his life, and weak for half his life. It seemed that all his courage in his life was concentrated in this moment - "You are a coward!"


    "What did you say?"


    "Because you are a coward! A pathetic coward!"


    Wang Jian roared like a mad tiger.


    The axe fell heavily.


    A bloody head rolled two meters away.


    Wang Jian looked in the direction of home, full of infinite attachment and concern, and slowly lowered his eyes...


    "What should she do if I leave?"


    This was the last thought left in the world.


    Liu Rufeng was trembling all over, controlling the zombies to chop the lifeless corpse crazily, chopping more than a dozen axes.


    "Enough!"


    Duan came out, followed by several men in black. When he saw the bloody Wang Jian lying in a pool of blood, he couldn''t help but frown: "Can''t you wait for the last three or two days?"


    Liu Rufeng said grimly: "I just want to see him die with my own eyes."


    Duan didn''t say anything else, just asked: "I don''t know what Oscar is doing in the square with a dozen warlocks. Now there are hundreds of soldiers guarding it, and a large number of mercenaries are ambushed nearby. They are on high alert and can''t get close. Will he interfere with the plan?"


    Liu Rufeng said coldly: "What kind of waves can an apprentice cause? Don''t pay attention to it!"


    There was a sound of footsteps in front.


    "Someone is coming."


    "Let''s go!"


    Several people quickly left the street.

 Chapter 32 Prologue

    The next day, the whole town was covered with a gray shadow. The mayor was killed in the street, and the method was extremely cruel!


    It was too rampant!


    Oscar came to the scene after hearing the news. Wang Jian''s body was taken away by his grief-stricken family. A captain of the guards said to him: "There are no living people in the houses next to him. He was killed before the town was killed."


    The ground was covered with coagulated blood.


    Oscar bent down and picked up a bloody black leaf, which was filled with wood energy. It was not a leaf that grew naturally.


    At this time, a cold and sad voice sounded in his ears: "Why did he do it?"


    Oscar raised his head and stood in front of him. A slender and plump beautiful woman in white clothes, Lin Bairong''s eyes were slightly red, her face was as pale as paper, and her fists were clenched tightly. Obviously, she was silently enduring great pain.


    "Please tell me the truth!"


    Oscar didn''t want to hide it, and sighed and said: "Six guards with good skills, but they didn''t even have time to send out a distress signal, and were killed by magic in an instant. I think in the whole Baisong Town and even Baicheng, only Liu Rufeng has this kind of magic power."


    Lin Bairong''s body swayed, and she took a step back, barely standing still.


    Heartbroken, extremely painful!


    What echoed in Lin Bairong''s heart was not resentment, but the picture of the three of them playing together when they were young. That was a warm picture that she often missed, and it was the most beautiful memory in her life. The lively figures of three innocent children were forever fixed in her memory.


    In the past twenty years, the memory has gradually faded away... It has become so strange, cold, and cruel!


    Why did it come to this! ?


    Lin Bairong suppressed her grief and said, "What are you going to do?"


    "After Liu Rufeng attacked me, he didn''t leave the town!" Oscar raised his head and looked at the gray Baisong Town, his eyes became unusually solemn, "This basically confirms one fact, someone in the town is helping him behind the scenes! We must find out the mastermind first!"


    Lin Bairong said in a firm tone: "I will help you find them. I want to make a personal end to this matter."


    Oscar nodded. There was a kind of firmness in Lin Bairong''s eyes. Since the matter was caused by three people, let''s end it together!


    Lin Bairong is not an ordinary person. She practices martial arts and is not weak. The division of warriors is similar to that of warlocks. The strength of warlocks'' mana is determined by the magic vortex, and the strength of warriors'' true qi comes from the strength of the sea of ??qi. The mana vortex is composed of a ring of spiral arms, and the sea of ??true qi is composed of stars.


    1-10 stars are martial artists.


    11-20 stars are warriors.


    21-30 stars are martial artists


    ¡­


    One-eyed has reached 21 stars, a martial artist-level master, and Lin Bairong has 18 stars, a leader among martial artists. She can also temporarily serve as the mayor, providing convenience for Oscar and protecting Oscar''s safety.


    The central square is surrounded by heavy forces.


    Qin Yue walked up to Oscar and said excitedly, "It''s basically done."


    Oscar checked and said, "Find some large live animals, such as cows or horses, at least 30, and feed them well. Add some ghost grass to the feed."


    Qin Yue couldn''t understand and couldn''t help asking, "Why is that?"


    "Liu Rufeng''s magic power is not weak, but he can''t control three thousand zombies for a long time. If I''m not mistaken, he just wants to bring zombies into the town and let the dead demons kill the living demons on their own. These livestock eat the ghost grass, and then they are slaughtered in the Yin Gathering Formation. They can act as bait and attract zombies to gather here."


    Qin Yue was not afraid at all, and asked excitedly, "How are you going to deal with the zombies?"


    "This requires another formation."


    Oscar kept it a secret.


    At this time, the one-eyed man hurried over and said, "We have found some clues. There are painted trademarks on the weapons of the masked men. We restored the trademarks and identified them. It is basically confirmed that they are products of a regular military equipment merchant in Shicheng."


    "Who is dealing with this military equipment merchant?"


    "I haven''t found it yet."


    Now it is basically confirmed that Liu Rufeng''s sponsor is from Baisong Town.


    In the entire Baisong Town, except for military mercenaries, the Du family has the largest number of warriors. Only the Du family has the channels and ability to order a large number of military equipment.


    Oscar murmured, "Could it be the mysterious sponsor, could it be Duan?"


    There is one thing that does not make sense!


    How could the Du family get the corpse of the half-orc?


    Lin Bairong showed deep hatred: "I''ll let the soldiers search the Du family!"


    "Slow down, don''t alert the enemy." Oscar frowned slightly, "The Du family is a small family. It shouldn''t have such a strong power. I suspect that there are people behind Duan... Get the Du family information first."Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    Lin Bairong fully cooperated.


    Oscar soon got detailed information about the Du family, hoping to find clues.


    Duan was very cautious, and there was nothing in his business records that could arouse suspicion. The Du family''s industries in the town are mainly gambling houses, hotels, and brothels, which are far less profitable than military weapons and materials, giving people a feeling of lack of ambition.


    The Du family happened to be a martial arts research institution, with a large number of warriors going there to seek refuge, and supporting some powerful guests.


    This is very problematic.


    Those warriors who came to seek refuge and stayed at the Du family on the surface are probably the direct lineage warriors trained by the Du family, and the identity of guests is just a cover. But even so, the strength of the Du family is limited.


    What happened to the orc corpse?


    Oscar felt a little embarrassed. It was not right to take action now, and it was not right not to take action.


    Suddenly, Oscar noticed a piece of information and immediately pointed it out and asked: "What is this record..."


    "This is a record of purchasing meat food." One-eyed didn''t care much. "The cost of training for warriors is not as high as that of warlocks, but in order to ensure a strong body, a large amount of fresh meat is consumed every day, plus medicinal supplements to strengthen muscles and bones and increase strength."


    "Isn''t this a bit too much?"


    "It seems to be a bit."


    Oscar estimated from the purchase volume that the Du family has 400-600 warriors, which is not a large number, but not a small number.


    "The fresh meat purchased by the Du family all comes from a slaughterhouse in the south of the town. The Snow Wolf mercenaries and major hotels and taverns basically purchase meat from here. It is the largest meat market in the town."


    Oscar put away the information and said to Lin Bairong: "I can now basically confirm that Duan is the mastermind behind the scenes!"


    Lin Bairong showed a ruthless look: "Let the city defense army and mercenaries attack directly!"


    "The Du family has a lot of hidden masters, plus Liu Rufeng. I''m afraid they are well prepared at this moment. The risk of direct attack is too great. We must think of a way they can''t think of." Oscar paused and continued: "I have one... poison!"


    One-eyed hurriedly said: "This won''t work. The Du family will definitely check the meat before using it. Besides, poison is a banned item, and we can''t buy much."


    "So we need to make a special poison that is not only colorless and odorless, but also can''t be discovered in advance."


    "Is there such a Dingxi?"


    "Just let me do it. I need the materials."


    Lin Bairong opened the material warehouse in Baisong Town and let Oscar choose whatever he wanted.


    Baisong Town is a town with a large flow of mercenaries. The materials are frequently traded in the market, so they are naturally not scarce.


    Oscar found a herb called [Breathing Grass], which is non-toxic in itself. It will only temporarily close the Qi Sea, thereby slowing down the flow of true Qi, and also has the effect of lowering heartbeat and slowing breathing. It is generally used when lurking.


    Oscar can use it to refine [Splitting Qi Powder], a special poison for warriors.


    Splitting Qi Powder will not harm the body, so there are no symptoms. It targets the true Qi. Once the poisoned warrior circulates the true Qi, he will immediately find that the true Qi is like a wild horse running away, escaping everywhere, uncontrolled, and eventually tearing the meridians, causing great damage.


    This poison will not be fatal, but will only make the warrior extremely painful and eventually lose his combat effectiveness. The toxicity will remain for about three or four days and be excreted from the body with metabolism. If the warrior does not use the true Qi during this process, then there will be no problem.


    When Oscar was refining [Splitting Powder], he added several materials, which can be dissolved in water and are colorless and tasteless.


    That afternoon.


    One-Eye deliberately brought a dozen mercenaries to the house to find fault on the pretext of buying inferior meat. He searched almost the entire meat farm and injected poison into the fresh meat ordered by the Du family. When the plan succeeded, Oscar was relieved.


    Everything is ready.


    Tomorrow night is the night of the full moon.


    There was silence in Baisong Town, and there was no sign of a disaster.


    That night, Mu Alice, who had been in a coma for several days and nights, finally woke up!


    Oscar put down a big stone hanging in his heart. He immediately ran to the hotel to visit. Alice didn''t remember anything about the one or two days before she fell into a coma.


    This is good.


    So as not to leave a psychological shadow.


    Alice was very weak. After drinking a few bottles of potion, some blood color returned to her pale face.


    "Master, what''s wrong with me?"


    "It''s okay. Rest for two days and everything will be fine."


    Alice lay on the bed, her whole body as soft as noodles, she didn''t even have the strength to sit up. Although Oscar kept silent, Alice knew in her heart that it was most likely another strange disease, and this time it seemed to be more serious than before. She was worried that she would fall into a coma one day and never wake up again.


    This scared Alice.


    Mu Alice asked pitifully: "Master, will Alice die?"


    "Don''t talk nonsense." Oscar didn''t know whether to laugh or cry, and gently hugged the girl before saying: "You will not only live, but you will live better than anyone else."


    Alice felt Oscar''s body temperature, her heart was full of fear and fear. She was not afraid of death, but she became more and more dependent on Oscar. If one day she had to leave him, what a terrible thing it would be!


    Oscar comforted Alice a few words and had to leave.


    Because the duel is about to begin!


    This is a duel between an apprentice and a master!


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    This is a dark secret room, with a two-meter-high magic platform in the center, and sixteen candles placed beside it, all burning with strange blue flames.


    Duan said in an unhappy tone, "Your impulsiveness almost exposed the plan! I suspect they have already found me!"


    "So what?" Liu Rufeng leaned on his staff and walked up to the magic platform step by step, saying hoarsely, "Nothing can be stopped."


    Duan thought so.


    Even if they found out, it would be too late!


    A total of 3,000 bronze-skinned and iron-boned zombies, including 500 orcs, are enough to destroy 10,000 regular troops. The armed forces in Baisong Town, even if the Snow Wolf mercenaries are included, are only four or five thousand. The strength of the two sides is very different, and with the Du family as an insider, Baisong Town is powerless even if it knows the plan.


    Duan stared at the wall, which is the family''s venomous snake totem.


    The whole plan has no reason to fail.


    I just don''t know why, but I always feel uneasy.


    Footsteps sounded outside the door.


    Du Jian walked in and reported: "All 500 zombies are hidden, and 500 family warriors are on standby. Everything is ready, just waiting for orders."


    "Good!"


    Du An breathed a sigh of relief.


    Baisong Town must not have thought that the battle would start from the inside.


    Liu Rufeng stood on the magic platform with a hunched figure and said in a hoarse voice: "After the city gate is opened, I will guide the zombies outside in. On the night of the full moon, the soul fire is strong, and the zombies will become extremely cruel. Then there will be a massacre. It will only take one night to kill the whole town!"


    "It''s finally about to start."


    Du An showed ecstasy.


    It''s finally time to reap the results!


    Liu Rufeng was also very excited.


    His ideal is right in front of him.


    After tonight.


    There will be no more pain here!


    There will be no more hatred here!


    There will be no more deception here!


    Baisong Town will become a kingdom of death, and everyone will be sublimated and immortal in death!


    Liu Rufeng stood on the magic platform and suddenly raised his hands high. The blue flames on the candles around him suddenly became extremely vigorous, and the whole secret room was reflected in a layer of blue.


    "My army!"


    "Wake up!"


    In a certain forest, arms stretched out from the cold soil, and stiff and terrible bodies stood up from the forest, covered with black soil or white snow. In just a few minutes, the whole grove was full of zombies. These zombies were wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands, almost armed to the teeth.


    The shrill howls echoed in the woods.


    One after another, lingering.


    The black clouds gradually separated, revealing a bright full moon.


    In the dull eyes of the zombies, blue flames suddenly emerged, blooming with fierce, terrifying, and cruel light. They felt the evil call of the dead magician, they felt the breath of countless living demons, and they began to act!


    The zombies advanced silently, in a mighty force, heading straight for Baisong Town.


    This is a silent army.


    This is a dead army.


    Hatred, anger.


    This is the will instilled by the manipulator!


    He will pay tribute with his life and blood!


    This battle started by two lunatics finally broke out unstoppably!

 Chapter 33 The Night of the Final Battle

    Dazzling flares shot out like meteors, splitting the silent night and bursting into dazzling fireworks.


    "Alarm!"


    "Enemy troops appeared on the west side!"


    "It is expected to arrive in the town in 15-20 minutes."


    When the news reached the town square, everyone''s nerves were tense.


    One-eyed man clenched his long sword and shouted fiercely: "Prepare for battle!"


    Five or six hundred soldiers and mercenaries all formed battle formations. The warlock stood in the magic circle with a solemn and nervous expression. Beside each person stood a circle of guards holding large shields and spears, who were being closely protected.


    Oscar pondered for a few seconds after the flare appeared, as if he had made some dangerous decision: "Abandon the city wall and let all the soldiers come over!"


    One-Eye was stunned, "What are you thinking, kid? Why don''t you defend the city wall?"


    Oscar said calmly: "It''s useless to defend it, now we need to save our strength to deal with other things."


    One-Eye didn''t understand the meaning of the words: "Other things? You mean..."


    Lin Bairong chose to believe Oscar and immediately gave an order to a senior officer beside him. Now everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope. If they are going to die, they will die together.


    "There are fires in several streets in the south and east!"


    The town was in chaos before the zombie army arrived, and the chaos came from the inside. Someone was playing tricks in the town!


    "Ah!"


    "There are monsters!"


    "There are monsters!"


    A group of zombies appeared from nowhere on the street. Under the control of some force, they went to the west gate and killed anyone they saw along the way. The street was in chaos. In addition to the zombie army, there were hundreds of agile black-clad men who rushed to the city gate first, each holding a crossbow, ready to attack the defenders by surprise.


    When they reached the city wall, there was no one above or below, and not a single person could be seen.


    They were all stunned.


    Why is this happening?


    Du Jian shouted, "Never mind, open the city gate!"


    The gate of Baisong Town was opened.


    Everything went better than expected!


    When Duan got the news that the city wall had been taken, he couldn''t believe it. He thought he would have to go through a bloody battle, but it turned out to be a success with ease.


    The overall situation has been decided.


    The zombie army will enter the city unimpeded, and the result of this war will be overwhelming! The fall of Baisong Town is also a foregone conclusion!


    Baisong Town cannot be saved!


    When the morning glow of the next day spreads to this time, the town will become a scorched earth, and hundreds of thousands of civilians will be slaughtered!


    Duan was calm on the surface, but his heart was full of blood.


    "I didn''t expect it to be so easy!" Duan had been preparing for many years, and finally waited for the harvest. "I won, my plan will succeed!"


    His ambition, his dream, after years of suppression, finally broke out!


    Liu Rufeng laughed loudly on the magic platform!


    He was different from Duan in mentality, and his heart was filled with pure pleasure of revenge and morbid sense of achievement. As for Oscar? That pathetic little character, a useless apprentice, how could he resist the invincible zombie army?


    He will be torn to pieces!


    He will be gnawed to pieces!


    This is my army!


    This is my masterpiece!


    Who can resist?


    Now is the time to get everything back with interest!


    The town will become a place of eternal death with corpses everywhere. Countless experimental materials will be produced here, which are inexhaustible. Those who have betrayed themselves will all be made into zombies, always accompanying them and supporting the uncrowned king!


    Five hundred orcs walked into the town with heavy steps. They were 2.2 meters tall on average, and were very tall and strong. They were wearing full-body heavy armor, and their heads were covered with a thick and heavy helmet.


    The defense was very solid.


    Even the one-eyed man could hardly shoot through the helmet and destroy the soul fire in the skull, let alone ordinary soldiers and warriors. The appearance of these 500 orcs was almost catastrophic! Even the soldiers in the town might not be able to stop them!


    This is an invincible undead army!


    When the zombies walked into the city smoothly under the guidance of some kind of power, they immediately lost their restraints and a killing spree was about to begin!


    "Roar!"


    "Roar!"


    On the night of the full moon, the undead were extremely violent and wanted to destroy everything they saw. The orcs carried their war hammers and smashed the houses to pieces. The zombies killed people everywhere, and the west of the town was in chaos.


    "Zombies are coming into the city to kill people!"


    "What should we do?"


    "Don''t panic." Oscar received the news and immediately ordered: "Slaughter the livestock and bleed them!"Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    Twenty cows and twenty horses were pulled into the magic circle.


    "Kill!"


    The soldier swung his sword vigorously, and a drop of blood was cut off from the cow''s head and the horse''s head, and a lot of blood splashed out. Qin Yue began to chant a spell, and as the blood flowed, it was absorbed by the lines of the magic circle a little bit, as if activated by some kind of power. The complex lines glowed with a faint red light, and an invisible breath spread out.


    One-eyed asked anxiously: "What should we do now?"


    Oscar said: "This formation will lure zombies in. Remember not to fight with zombies! We are not opponents at all. Just lead them into the formation and use the magic circle to deal with them! Your task is to protect the magic circle, and don''t let the magic circle be damaged!"


    On the other side.


    Liu Rufeng had a feeling that something was wrong.


    After the zombies walked into the town, they were suddenly lured by a certain breath and did not continue to attack the living and destroy, but collectively went to the center of the town.


    The center of the town?


    Isn''t that what Oscar has been tinkering with recently?


    Liu Rufeng showed a trace of annoyance and said to Duan: "Let your people attack the square!"


    Duan did not ask any more questions.


    Once the bow is shot, there is no turning back!


    Since things have begun, there is no choice!


    Duan sent the order, and Du Jian led hundreds of family soldiers and secretly arrived at the observation annex square


    "Shoot!"


    Hundreds of powerful crossbows were lost, tearing the air at the same time and scattered into the crowd. Dozens of soldiers were directly shot and fell, and the blood stained the ground red. Everyone was caught off guard and suffered a lot of losses. The Du family warriors fired several waves of arrows, killing at least a hundred soldiers and mercenaries. When the arrows were used up.


    Du Jian threw away the military crossbow, drew the cold long sword from his waist, and shouted hysterically: "Charge!"


    Swish!


    Hundreds of long swords were drawn at the same time.


    "Kill!"


    The black-clad men charged into the crowd like a sharp black knife.


    Blades clashed!


    Shields collided!


    Armor was shattered, bones were cut, screams and wails rang out. Du Jian took the lead, raised his sword, poured strong true energy into the sword, and swept out with one sword, cutting a soldier in half with his shield and body.


    The blood splattered all over.


    The black-clad men rushed up, and when a flash of knife light passed, a row of soldiers were chopped to the ground! Although there were not many of them, their combat power was obviously higher than that of the soldiers!


    Du Jian raised his long sword, stepped over the bodies of the soldiers, and was about to continue to attack, when suddenly... a burst of intense pain broke out from the Dantian Qi Sea, and instantly released to the whole body, and suddenly there was a feeling of being cut into pieces.


    True energy... is out of control!


    Why is this happening!


    Du Jian was horrified to find that his Qi was out of control and he was running around like a headless fly. He was a 21-star martial artist, but this was the case for him, not to mention the others. The men in black fell to the ground one by one, twitching all over and screaming, as if they were having an epileptic seizure.


    "They are poisoned!"


    "Kill them!"


    The soldiers began to fight back, and a burst of arrows trembled into the crowd like a gust of locusts, and the men in black were shot one by one, all lying in a pool of blood.


    Lin Bairong personally put on armor and went into battle.


    Although she was a woman, her martial arts skills were very superb. She killed five or six men in black with a big sword.


    Du Jian split several arrows, endured the pain, and prepared to escape. But a sharp breath came from behind, and the one-eyed man held a long knife in his hand and chopped at Du Jian.


    Bang!


    Du Jian felt a pain in his wrist.


    The long sword flew out directly.


    Now that he can''t use his true energy, his fighting power is only one tenth of what it used to be. How can he compete with the one-eyed man who is also a 21-star?


    The one-eyed man flipped his wrist, and the blade chopped into his chest, splashing a large cloud of blood mist. Du Jian screamed and retreated. The one-eyed man moved smoothly, slashing several times in a row, and finally the blade cut out at a sharp angle, the cold edge swept across Du Jian''s neck, and a head was thrown high into the sky.


    The one-eyed man grabbed Du Jian''s head and raised it high above his head. He was covered in blood and roared!


    "Kill!"


    "Kill!"


    "Kill!"


    Seeing that the one-eyed man was extremely brave, the morale was immediately boosted!


    The attack of the black-clothed man was like hitting a rock with an egg. All of them died outside the square, the ground was full of corpses, the blood stained the floor red, and the air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood.


    "Zombies are coming!"


    "Shoot!"


    A large group of zombies rushed out from the street.


    A wave of arrows rained out like locusts, and the zombies were staggering. Some of them turned into hedgehogs, but they didn''t fall down.


    "Back off!"


    "Back off immediately"


    The warriors didn''t dare to fight, and hurriedly retreated. They ignored the thousands of living people and walked straight to the square and into the formation that Oscar had set up.


    "Purify them!"


    A dozen warlocks stood in each corner, chanting spells at the same time, infusing the formation with magic power, and the lines of the formation lit up. Then, a mighty force erupted and instantly swept over the corpses of the zombies.


    A faint light wave flashed!


    In an instant, like cutting wheat, a large area of ??zombies fell down, as many as hundreds of them!


    Everyone was shocked!


    The terrifying zombies were so vulnerable under the attack of the formation!


    The energy of the magic array is not strong, and the lethality is minimal. Some soldiers also stood in the array and were also impacted by the energy, but they did not feel uncomfortable at all. This array seems to be specifically aimed at undead life.


    Thousands of years later, there will be a warlock named Wang An. Because there are a large number of ancient battlefields near his hometown, he is often attacked by undead life. He created the [Wang An''s Purification Array] and placed it nearby. From then on, no undead demons could approach the village.


    There are at least 800 similar magic arrays.


    This array is simple and easy, and is most suitable for dealing with low-level undead life!


    Undead life is not really without weaknesses. Soul fire is the lifeblood of undead demons, and soul fire is relatively fragile. No matter how strong the undead demon is, once the soul fire is extinguished, it will immediately turn into an immobile corpse again!


    The purification power belongs to light, so it can directly destroy the soul fire!


    Zombies came one after another, and walked into the magic circle in groups. As a result, they were purified one by one. After a while, the magic circle was full of corpses. Liu Rufeng spent 6 years and worked hard to make zombies. He thought he could sweep all directions, but before he could show his power, a small half of them were left here.


    Liu Rufeng obviously felt that the zombies were destroyed one by one.


    This made him shocked and angry!


    Liu Rufeng quickly cast a spell and took control of some of the zombies himself. Hundreds of zombies bypassed the magic circle and began to attack the warlock who maintained the formation.


    "Stop them!"


    "Kill!"


    Soldiers rushed forward with shields to stop the zombies from moving forward, and stabbed them with swords and arrows. The zombies were extremely powerful and swept out with their battle axes. Several soldiers were knocked away with their shields, but soon another soldier rushed up to hold them.


    If they lost, they would die.


    If they lost, their children and lovers would be doomed!


    If they lost, the whole town would become a place of death!


    The soldiers of Baisong Town fought bravely and bravely!


    This is a battle to protect the family and homeland!


    Liu Rufeng must not be allowed to destroy the formation, and the evil conspiracy must not succeed!


    Oscar saw the chaos and shouted: "Liu Rufeng can directly control some zombies and use them to destroy the formation. The soldiers may not be able to stop for long. We must kill Liu Rufeng! Otherwise, everything will be meaningless!"


    The one-eyed man said angrily: "Who knows where he is hiding to cast spells!"


    "I have a way to find him!"


    Oscar prepared a total of 4 spell templates, including 11-ring [Eye of Spell], 9-ring [Spell Smoke Bomb], 5-ring [Projection], and 0-ring [Talisman Activation] ten. Among them, [Eye of Spell] is a level 1 spell, which can only be engraved with the amplification of the spell ring. This spell is specially prepared for finding Liu Rufeng.


    He went to a high place to cast the Eye of Spell.


    Only a light appeared in the pupil.


    The whole world turned black and white. A strong light appeared in a certain direction of the town. It was a strong mana fluctuation. There was no doubt that Liu Rufeng was casting a spell. Oscar determined Liu Rufeng''s location by detecting the mana fluctuation.


    "Let''s go!"


    Oscar, One-Eye, Lin Bairong, and more than a hundred mercenaries went to Liu Rufeng''s location.


    The opponent was a great magician!


    Oscar couldn''t bring more people, because the power of the square couldn''t be weakened. Otherwise, even if Liu Rufeng could be killed, those crazy zombies would be enough to destroy the magic circle and the town, and all efforts would be in vain!


    Liu Rufeng was a great magician, but the number of spells that any magician could prepare at one time was limited.


    Now Liu Rufeng''s magic power was used to control zombies, and it was impossible to prepare a spell template with high lethality in advance. These people should be enough!

 Chapter 34 Final Showdown

    Under the moonlight, the sounds of fighting, roaring, running, and shouting filled the air. The square was a river of blood, and more than a thousand soldiers fought against the undead with their flesh and blood. The half-orc zombies were surrounded by the crowd, but the undead were not afraid or panicked. Every time the giant hammer was swung and hit, bones broke, armor shattered, and the soldiers all retreated in embarrassment.


    Too powerful!


    Half-orcs have strong physiques, they are inherently powerful, their muscles are very tough, and their bones are extremely hard. Now after being treated and strengthened by Liu Rufeng, they have at least increased by 50%. With heavy armor, let alone ordinary swords and spears, even if they are shot into hedgehogs, they can still run rampant without any impact.


    Duan calculated the time, the town¡¯s army had been slaughtered, why was there still such a big noise?


    There was a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.


    A man in black knocked open the door of the secret room and stumbled into it, "Master, it''s bad! Lord Du Jian''s entire army was wiped out!" Du Jian is Duan''s cousin and Duan''s confidant. As for the hundreds of warriors, they were trained by the family with great effort, but they didn''t expect that they would all be killed in a battle.


    Duan did not feel sad at all, but just said coldly: "Really? Then the losses of the defenders and mercenaries must be even more serious."


    "No, Lord Du Jian was poisoned by a strange poison. As soon as the battle started, his true energy lost control, causing the meridians to tear and the pain to succumb, and he lost his combat effectiveness on the spot!"


    Duan''s face, which was as gloomy as water, was disturbed for the first time, and he shouted in horror: "Poisoned, how could he be poisoned!"


    "Master! Master!" At this time, another man in black came to report: "Something bad has happened! About a thousand zombies were eliminated by a magic circle. The casualties of the defenders so far are not great. We are in a bad situation!"


    Duan was completely stunned, with cold sweat on his forehead. He turned back and glared at Liu Rufeng and said: "What the hell is going on!"


    Liu Rufeng stood on the magic platform, constantly releasing magic power, controlling a group of zombies to fight with soldiers, and said with a gloomy face: "A magic circle specifically for zombies, as long as a few warlocks are killed, the magic circle will automatically disintegrate."


    Is this another masterpiece of Oscar?


    There are very few researchers on death magic in modern times. Why does Oscar know how to restrain the dead demon?


    Is there a master behind the scenes giving advice?


    The death magic system has not yet been established, but the method of restraint has been studied first. This does not make sense!


    Duan could no longer hold back and roared angrily: "You think this technique is invincible in the world, and you are proud of being a genius? Now even an apprentice can deal with you! You are simply a waste! My plan has been ruined by you!"


    "What qualifications do you have to say that to me? Shut up!"


    Liu Rufeng raised his hand and shot a fireball.


    Duan immediately shook his body, and the man in black was ignited by the fireball instead of Duan. He fell to the ground screaming and struggling desperately, but the magic flame would not be extinguished easily, so he was burned to charcoal in an instant.


    "Asshole..." Duan saw his subordinates being burned to death, his expression was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you attack me!"


    "Attacking? I''m going to kill you all! Kill all of you!"


    At this moment, Liu Rufeng began to lose his mind a little.


    That unknown magic circle was created specifically for undead creatures. As long as the zombies walked into the circle, the soul fire would be extinguished in an instant. No matter how powerful the zombies were, no matter how strong their skin and bones were, they would not be able to play their value at all!


    Liu Rufeng was a little confused.


    I spent half a lifetime researching and 6 years of hard work to build it. I thought it was an invincible undead army, but in the end it was restrained by an apprentice... Is my magic really so vulnerable?


    For twenty years, I have been accompanied by cold corpses and slept with stinking rotten meat. I have lost my family, love, and friendship, and struggled in hatred and pain every day. Liu Rufeng never regretted his pursuit, because Liu Rufeng firmly believed that his research was great and his magic was enough to change history.The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    As a result, the zombies that he was so proud of were so vulnerable!


    Am I wrong?


    Liu Rufeng couldn''t help asking himself.


    No!


    Impossible!


    This is impossible!


    How could I be wrong?


    Liu Rufeng roared angrily: "I didn''t lose! I won''t lose!"


    "A group of mercenaries are coming here!" The man in black found One-Eye, Oscar and dozens of elite mercenaries, and immediately ran to Duan to report, "This place may have been exposed, please leave through the secret door!"


    Duan''s heart sank.


    Why can they find here? Can they predict the future?


    Duan''s uneasiness became stronger and stronger. Liu Rufeng was probably unreliable!


    Let them kill each other!


    Duan did not remind Liu Rufeng and immediately left the secret room with his men.


    Liu Rufeng began to doubt everything in the past twenty years. Now he began to become hysterical, angrily controlling the zombies and attacking the soldiers frantically.


    A few minutes later.


    There was a sound of fighting outside!


    Two minutes later, the door of the secret room broke open, and several men in black screamed and fell in, falling to the ground, lifeless.


    Came to the door?


    "Just in time!" Liu Rufeng waved his hand lightly, and more than a dozen zombies standing on the left and right like sculptures were awakened, including four orcs holding heavy hammers, "All die here!"


    When nearly a hundred elites rushed into the secret room.


    The one-eyed man didn''t even look at the target, and shouted: "Shoot me!"


    Longbows and short crossbows took the lead in shooting a wave of arrows, and the shrill screams echoed in the secret room. The walls and the ground were all covered with arrows. More than a dozen zombies were shot by arrows and all staggered back.


    "Are you going to use this method against me?"


    "You are too naive!"


    Liu Rufeng waved his staff and the arrows shot at him were deflected, and none of them could hit him.


    This man''s magic power is too strong, and it is not easy to defeat him!


    The one-eyed man finally saw Liu Rufeng with his own eyes. On the magic platform, the blue candlelight was shining. He was wearing a tattered black robe, like a ghost hiding in the dark night. A pair of cold eyes stared at the person who broke in, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.


    "Afeng, is that you?"


    At this time, a slightly trembling voice sounded.


    Oscar and Lin Bairong came from behind.


    Liu Rufeng''s face changed drastically and he stepped back in panic, his hood completely covering his face. He said in a hoarse voice: "You are wrong, Liu Rufeng died a long time ago."


    Lin Bairong''s eyes turned red and asked: "Why did you do things to this extent? Can''t you go back to the past..."


    Liu Rufeng slowly raised his head. Countless dreams haunted him, and countless midnight dreams came back. This figure was right in front of him. His tone was miserable, and he said in a trembling voice: "Go back... Can I go back?"


    He lowered his hood little by little.


    The mercenaries couldn''t help but gasp when they saw his true appearance. The zombies standing next to him were probably more handsome than him. Liu Rufeng''s skin was dry, wrinkled and shrunken, with dead skin sticking to the dead cheeks of the skeleton, and covered with corpse-like spots, his eyes were sunken, his hair fell out, and only a few withered white hairs were left.


    It was like a skeleton crawling out of a grave!


    Liu Rufeng was only in his forties, but his appearance was comparable to that of a centenarian!


    One-Eye pulled out his knife and tried to kill him.


    Oscar stopped him and said, "Now is not the time to do it. He is focusing on us and has no energy to control the zombies. The longer we delay, the more zombies will be killed, and the better the situation will be for us!"


    One-Eye nodded.


    Lin Bairong was also shocked when she saw Liu Rufeng''s appearance.


    Is this really Liu Rufeng?


    Liu Rufeng sensitively caught this look, laughed miserably, and a nameless fire gushed out of his chest.


    She hates me!


    She hates me!


    Liu Rufeng laughed and said, "See? I became what I am today, all because of you, that despicable guy, who took you away from me! And you, you broke the engagement, you betrayed me! It was you, it was you who made me embark on a cursed path. So I want to kill him, I want to chop him into meat sauce!"


    Lin Bairong showed anger: "You don''t understand anything!"


    Liu Rufeng waved his hand to drive the zombies, and the last trace of rationality on his face was occupied by madness and evil, "Maybe, but what does it matter? You will be made into a zombie, a most beautiful zombie, you will stay by my side like a father, and you will never betray me again!"


    "Damn it, there''s nothing to say!" The one-eyed man roared, "Do it!"


    Dozens of mercenaries threw away their crossbows and drew their weapons and shields at the same time. At this time, the zombies rushed up under Liu Rufeng''s control, and the two sides collided with each other. The half-orc zombie hammered over, and a mercenary was thrown on the spot and hit the wall heavily.


    "Hahaha... weak ants, you are vulnerable!"


    Liu Rufeng grinned and began to chant a spell.


    Oscar''s heart trembled and he quickly shouted: "He is casting a spell, interrupt him!"


    One-eyed man raised a military crossbow he picked up and shot an arrow directly at Liu Rufeng. The distance was too close and he could not dodge. Liu Rufeng raised his staff and the crossbow arrow hit the invisible barrier and was instantly bounced off.


    Because he could not do two things at the same time, he could not continue to control the zombies in the square. The zombies were purified in batches, and six years of hard work would be destroyed.


    Forget it!


    If the whole town cannot be turned into a paradise of death, then the next best thing is to take Lin Bairong away!


    These mercenaries are a trouble!


    If you prepare enough combat spells, you will not care about just a few dozen mercenaries. In order to focus on controlling the zombie army, Liu Rufeng used most of his spells to build templates for the necromancy spells. Now there are not many combat spells available!


    Liu Rufeng didn''t have time to attack.


    Oscar recited a spell first, completed a low-level spell, and threw a gray ball at Liu Rufeng. Oscar''s magic power was pitifully weak, and it was impossible for him to open the defense. Sure enough, the gray ball hit the magic barrier, like a mayfly shaking a tree, and it was bounced off without any suspense.


    Bang!


    The gray ball turned into a large cloud of smoke, and Liu Rufeng''s vision was completely blocked.


    Oscar blocked Liu Rufeng''s sight with a spell.


    "A petty trick!" Liu Rufeng grinned, "You want to challenge me? Go to hell!"

 Chapter 35 The Death of a Genius

    Liu Rufeng completed the spell in an instant - the level 2 spell [Rock Strike]!


    When the magic power was released, the rocks on the ground broke into pieces, and a large number of sharp stones floated into the air. Although Oscar''s [Magic Smoke Bomb] can create smoke, blocking the field of vision and closing the perception like a maggot on the tarsal bone, this spell is a range attack spell and does not need to be locked at all.


    "The spell attack is coming!"


    "Cover up!"


    The mercenary is experienced, raised his shield, and leaned over to cover!


    When the stone was infused with magic power, it shot like a bullet, and the secret room was full of noise. The stone hit the wall, and each time it could create a fist-sized hole. If this hit a flesh and blood body, even if it was protected by true qi, it would be enough to cause serious injuries.


    The mercenary dodged in a panic. As long as the sharp stone hit, all bones and tendons were broken, and he was seriously injured on the spot.


    Boom boom boom!


    The half-orc zombies took heavy steps. Because zombies are immortal, they ignore the attacks of rocks. Even if they are hit occasionally, they just stagger and it''s no big deal. When a heavy wolf-toothed hammer swept away several mercenaries like slapping flies, and then mixed with a fierce hurricane, it smashed into the center of a group of mercenaries.


    "Run!"


    The secret room shook violently, gravel flew, and a big hole was smashed on the ground. The mercenaries dodged in a panic.


    The one-eyed man jumped up and chopped, cutting the metal helmet with one knife, embedding it in the extremely solid skull. Unfortunately, it was a little short of destroying the soul fire. Oscar saw the opportunity and threw out a talisman. With the sound of the spell, it burned automatically, and a light arrow hit the half-orc.


    The soul fire of the half-orc zombie was destroyed by the light energy, and it fell to the ground with its head raised!


    Liu Rufeng''s spell attack ended.


    "Kill the zombies first!"


    Oscar activated several light arrow talismans in succession, killing the most powerful half-orc zombie first.


    Even if ordinary zombies have iron skin and bones, they can''t stand the continuous slashing.


    Liu Rufeng''s anger rose, and he cast a self-created spell of 20 rings [Life Sense]. This spell can detect all life within a few hundred meters. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you can''t escape the sense, let alone a layer of smoke!


    When Liu Rufeng locked the target position, he was about to start the attack, but in order to control the huge group of zombies, Liu Rufeng didn''t prepare too many battle spell templates!


    The only high-kill spell appeared in his mind-31 ring [Chain Explosion]!


    Liu Rufeng decided to use it!


    "All of them die!"


    Liu Rufeng wanted to kill all the mercenaries at once, and he began to chant!


    Oscar''s [Eye of Mana] had long disappeared, but with rich experience, he could judge what type of spell it was just by the spell. Every syllable that Liu Rufeng uttered was violent and full of power. Oscar''s face changed drastically and he immediately shouted: "Damn it! Level 3 fire explosion spell! Don''t stand in the open, find cover immediately!"


    The mercenaries fled everywhere to find cover.


    "Want to run?"


    A flame appeared on Liu Rufeng''s staff, and the spell was about to be completed. Suddenly, a figure came forward, and a big sword filled with true energy slashed heavily on the magic shield. This little true energy was not enough to split the magic shield of the great magician, but only weakened the magic shield to a certain extent.


    The great magician chanted the spell too fast.


    Liu Rufeng''s spell has been completed!


    Dare to rush up and die?


    Liu Rufeng was completely furious, and shouted hysterically: "Start with you!"


    When a tongue of fire spurted out, it instantly filled the secret room, and countless fireballs burst out.


    Boom, boom, boom, boom...If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Four explosions, heat waves gushed out, and the flames basically covered the small space. The violent shock made people dizzy and tinnitus. Several mercenaries were blown to pieces on the spot, and even zombies were not spared. Some mercenaries were on fire and fell to the ground, screaming and struggling.


    At the critical moment, Oscar activated the defensive spell talisman, but the explosion easily tore the defense apart. The violent impact came head-on. Oscar''s whole body flew into the air and stuck heavily to the wall. His whole skeleton groaned and spurted out a mouthful of blood.


    This is the power of the great magician!


    When the flames gradually subsided, the entire secret room was shaky and completely unrecognizable!


    Liu Rufeng grinned and said, "Such a pathetic and weak power, you also want to compete with me?"


    The magic smoke dissipated bit by bit.


    Liu Rufeng''s vision was restored. His magic shield became very fragile after several weakenings. Liu Rufeng subconsciously wanted to infuse magic power into the magic shield to replenish it, but at this moment, he suddenly froze.


    A body that was blown to pieces was lying in front of him.


    It was her!


    The person who rushed to die was actually her!


    Half of Lin Bairong''s body was almost blown to pieces by the terrible spell!


    Liu Rufeng was stunned: "You..."


    Lin Bairong opened her eyes with difficulty. There was no hatred, but calmness, abnormal calmness, which made Liu Rufeng a little scared.


    "No! No! How could this happen!"


    Liu Rufeng let out a cry of grief.


    How could Lin Bairong be made into a zombie after being blown like this? !


    Stupid!


    I am so stupid!


    Why should I use a range explosion spell!


    Lin Bairong shouted with difficulty: "Wind!"


    Liu Rufeng was stunned, and lost his mind for a moment.


    Suddenly, a cold long knife pierced through the weak defense from behind, inserted into Liu Rufeng''s back, and pierced through his chest.


    "This..."


    Liu Rufeng stared at the long knife that pierced his chest, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn''t believe this fact no matter what.


    There was no fear in his brain.


    There was only one thought - lost?


    I actually lost to a group of such people!


    Puff!


    Puff!


    One-Eye pulled out the knife and stabbed twice, each time hitting the vital parts.


    Liu Rufeng lost his strength, and the staff fell out of his hand and fell to the side. He took a step forward and fell to the ground. The blood quickly dyed his body red.


    The surviving mercenaries and Oscar all stood up from the bunker with dust on their faces.


    "One-Eye Boss, you did a great job!"


    So.


    The main purpose of Oscar''s smoke bomb was to deceive Liu Rufeng so that he could use a [Anonymous Talisman] on One-Eye to make One-Eye have a short-term invisible effect, so that he could take advantage of Liu Rufeng''s inattention and go around behind him.


    Liu Rufeng was first hit by Lin Bairong''s sword, and then weakened by the explosion, so his defense was already very weak.


    As a martial arts master, Duyan could easily pierce him with a knife when he was suddenly attacked!


    "Hahaha!"


    "You bastard, you deserve it!"


    Duyan was not having a good time. His face and chest were all burns caused by the explosion. His eye patch was also lost, and his blind eye was exposed. He raised his knife and prepared to give the dying Liu Rufeng the last blow.


    Oscar stood up and shouted: "Duyan, stop, he is already beyond saving!"


    Oscar left time for the two dying people, and put an end to the grievances of twenty years.


    Liu Rufeng lay on the ground, blood flowing out of his body, it was red, and he looked confused.


    Is my blood... also red?


    Death has never been so close!


    Am I really wrong?


    Everything over the years!


    Lin Bairong was in a swimming, and stared at Liu Rufeng at a few meters away. "Do you remember the autumn Qian in my small courtyard?" Liu Rufeng shed tears in his eyes: "That is the gift I gave you, you have always wanted it." Lin Bairong showed a smile: "You are always too persistent, if you want to surpass everything ... Qi, sullenness ... Everyone said that you have the upper heart, and the future is unlimited. But, do you know ... You are always going forward, you are always chasing, never wanting to stop ... You make me feel insecure! " I forgot to sleep ... Everyone said that he was stupid, but he was always happy and could make the people around him happy. "Although you gave me the swing, you didn''t care about it anymore. Every time the swing broke, he would appear to help me fix it."


    "Afeng, please ask yourself... Did you choose to run away from home that night because you lost me, or because you didn''t want to face failure? What made you make this decision, was it because you lost love, or because you lost face!"


    A line of blood and tears flowed from Liu Rufeng''s turbid eyes, and he slowly closed his eyes, "I understand... He is right... I am a coward!"


    Lin Bairong''s breath quickly weakened, and she murmured to herself, "What a pity..."


    She died!


    Oscar limped to Liu Rufeng and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"


    In the last moments of his life, Liu Rufeng regained his clarity, "What happened to me? How many terrible things have I done! Why, why... did I become like this?"


    "I said, your magic is flawed. The will of the dead will make you lose yourself and be controlled by hatred!"


    Liu Rufeng asked anxiously: "My research..."


    Oscar replied: "Burned it!"


    Liu Rufeng showed deep regret, "Well..."


    Struggled for twenty years.


    Suffered for a lifetime.


    In the end, nothing was left!


    Oscar sighed slightly and said, "Actually, I have read all your research. I will improve it and choose the right time to publish it to the world."


    "Thank you... People like me should eventually be left to die in the wilderness and be eaten by wolves. However, I have a request. If you have completed the real Necromancer spell, please use my body... This is the fate of a Necromancer!" Liu Rufeng''s eyes regained a little spirit. He felt that he was about to reach the end. He said with difficulty: "In return, I will tell you another piece of information. Duan... and the orcs... are colluding! You... be careful!"


    Oscar was slightly stunned when he heard this.


    "If I could go back... to the past... how great it would be!"


    When Liu Rufeng died, his last expression was fixed in longing and infinite regret.


    This warlock who originally had a promising future, but made mistakes again and again in the direction of life, and finally spent most of his life in pain. His hatred destroyed others and also destroyed himself.


    Orcs?


    Oscar frowned. He had guessed that there must be other forces behind Duan, but he never thought that he would collude directly with the orcs. This also explains why Duan was able to get the orcs.


    Duan?


    Oh, where is Duan? !


    Oscar realized something and immediately shouted, "Get out of here!"


    Suddenly!


    The whole secret room shook violently, the ceiling suddenly exploded, countless rubbles fell down, and several mercenaries were unable to dodge and were immediately crushed, and the whole secret room collapsed.

 Chapter 36 Crazy Ambition

    At the moment of the explosion, flames and air flow whizzed into the secret room. Oscar felt a heat wave coming towards him, knocking him to the ground on the spot. A broken stone slab fell and just crushed him.


    Oscar''s head was full of roars, and he couldn''t tell east from west and south from north in dizziness and tinnitus.


    One-Eye stood up with difficulty, supporting his body with a knife. The whole secret room was blown through, and there were residual fires around. A lot of dust filled the air. The bright moonlight shone in, and there was a sense of haze. One-Eye circulated his true energy and forced out a mouthful of blood to make his brain clearer. There was no good part of his body.


    Suddenly, there was a shriek in his ears, and crossbow arrows whizzed in.


    "Be careful of the arrows!"


    Several mercenaries who stood up were shot and fell on the spot.


    "Fuck!" One-Eye blocked several crossbow arrows and let out a beast-like roar, "It''s Duan, that bastard!"


    One-Eye suddenly concentrated his true energy on his feet.


    Wolf Leap!


    The one-eyed man performed a martial art, with his qi surrounding his whole body. He flew out, six or seven meters away, and chopped the black-clothed man holding a crossbow with a knife. Then he pounced on another one, and jumped up several times in a row, chopped down five black-clothed men, and the speed was so fast that it was difficult for people to react.


    The surviving mercenaries looked for broken walls as cover, picked up bows and arrows to fight back, and the night sky was filled with whizzing sounds, and the arrows kept flying back and forth. Occasionally, one or two screams were heard, and someone was shot to the ground.


    The one-eyed man was covered in blood and roared: "Duan, old dog, your plan is over!"


    "Don''t hide your head and show your tail, get out!"


    A mercenary ran over and moved the stone slab that was pressing on Oscar''s body.


    "Are you okay?"


    "Thank you, I won''t die for the time being."


    Footsteps sounded in the darkness.


    Duan walked out leisurely, his eyes swept over Liu Rufeng''s body, and he snorted coldly, "My biggest mistake was to put all my chips on a self-righteous waste."


    One-Eye showed a vigilant look.


    Duan''s strength is little known, but it is said that he is not inferior to Du Jian.


    One-Eye''s leg was in a sharp pain. After all, he was not fully recovered. He had just jumped violently several times, which caused the old injury in his leg to flare up.


    Duan''s eyes fell on Oscar, who was covered in dust, and he said calmly, "I have considered everything, but I didn''t expect that the whole plan would be ruined by a little apprentice."


    "Life is full of surprises, isn''t it?" Oscar spat out a mouthful of blood, patted the dust on his clothes, and continued, "But I am really curious, as a human, why did you betray your race and collude with the orcs?"


    "Liu Rufeng told you everything? Humph, I have never been loyal to anyone, so there is no question of betrayal." Duan said calmly, "I am just fulfilling my dream."


    Oscar said sarcastically, "This is probably the funniest joke in the world!"


    Duan''s face, which showed no emotion, showed a few traces of enthusiasm and yearning, "People live for a lifetime, talk about a few decades, and always have to do something to realize their own value. Of course, there is also ambition."


    "You use Liu Rufeng to occupy Baisong Town and pave the way for the orcs to go south? Don''t forget that human blood flows in your body!"


    Duan laughed and said, "What does it matter?"


    "You are a scum worse than Liu Rufeng!"


    "Don''t say it so harshly. I hate those idiots with strong limbs just like you do, but cooperating with the orcs can get what I want, and this reason is enough." Duan took a few steps forward and changed to a bewitching tone, "In fact, I don''t want to kill you, because your talent is far superior to Liu Rufeng. I need talents, why don''t you join me!"


    The one-eyed man roared, "Don''t dream!"


    "Let''s start over in another place and use our efforts to create a world. We will not be bound by any laws and will arbitrarily control the lives and deaths of all people. Isn''t it a pleasure to be a free local emperor!"


    Oscar sneered and said, "I''m afraid you have found the wrong person!"


    Duan insisted, "Have you ever thought about becoming a king and experiencing the feeling of dominating the ups and downs of all living beings?"


    Oscar covered his injured right arm and said word by word, "I am not Liu Rufeng!"


    Duan shook his head regretfully and sighed: "I knew... we are not the same kind of people!" As soon as the voice fell, without any warning, he suddenly swung his hand, and the flying knife filled with true energy shot towards Oscar at an incredible speed.


    "Be careful!"


    A mercenary stood in front of Oscar, and the flying knife passed through the shield and stabbed the mercenary''s chest. A huge force pushed the mercenary directly and fell on Oscar. Oscar hurriedly pressed the wound that was bleeding profusely, but the true energy had torn the tendons and blood vessels apart, and it was almost impossible to save him.You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.


    "One-Eye, kill him!"


    Without Oscar saying anything, the one-eye roared and killed. Duan calmly turned sideways, and the cold blade passed by his cheek. His right hand shot out a tortuous cold light, like a venomous snake coming out of a cave, biting the old mercenary''s neck viciously.


    So fast!


    The one-eye was in awe!


    Duan''s attack was extremely tricky, and the speed of light was more than one level better than the one-eye!


    However, the one-eyed man was an old mercenary with 30 years of experience. At the critical moment, he gathered his true energy to his toes, pushed the ground hard, and jumped several meters away.


    Both feet landed on the ground.


    The pain of leg fracture!


    The one-eyed man staggered and almost fell to the ground.


    Duan came close to him like a ghost, and a cold light from his right hand was hard to distinguish. The one-eyed man roared, blocked the sword with his blade, and then staggered back several steps. Almost every step he took, the pain in his leg fracture increased.


    It''s broken.


    The leg injury is getting worse!


    Duan''s weapon is a thin and soft long sword.


    To be precise, it is a soft sword!


    The sword body is slender and very flexible. Generally, warriors who use this kind of weapon are undoubtedly taking a sinister and tricky route. Although it is not suitable for group battles, it can have an advantage in single combat.


    "Go to hell!"


    The one-eyed man slashed out a knife light.


    Duan dodged calmly again.


    The soft sword twitched continuously, and amid the piercing whistling sound, the cold light flashed several times, completing several attacks in a very short time, with very strange and tricky angles. One-Eye raised his sword to block, and the blades collided in the air, splashing dazzling sparks.


    Duan looked calm, revealing a mocking look, "One-Eye, you are old."


    One-Eye roared: "Even if I am a hundred years old, I can still fuck your wife!"


    The swords and swords were very fierce, and the strong true qi collided, stirring up the dust nearby.


    Judging from the strength of true qi.


    Duan is undoubtedly a martial artist, perhaps one or two stars higher than One-Eye. He is also a person with rich practical experience, specializing in One-Eye''s visual blind spot, and using the weakness of his unsmooth legs to use the method of entanglement to play the advantage of speed.


    Whoosh!


    Two sword lights swept by.


    The sword cut through the shoulder and chest of the one-eyed man, tearing the leather armor on the spot and causing a deep wound. Duan flew forward and kicked the one-eyed man out like a sandbag, rolling two meters away and hitting a stone slab heavily.


    With a snap.


    The stone slabs were all cracked.


    The one-eyed man spit out a large mouthful of blood, and his internal organs were injured by the true qi!


    Duan held the sword with one hand, basically unscathed, looking at ease.


    The one-eyed man was seriously injured. After a long battle, there was not much true qi left. If he continued to fight like this, he would definitely lose! The one-eyed man remembered a trick that he had never used since he learned it. This trick can overdraw potential and temporarily greatly increase the strength of true qi, but the side effects are very large. The one-eyed man is already very old, and I don¡¯t know if his body can withstand it.


    After the one-eyed man was knocked down, Duan turned around and walked towards Oscar with the sword in his hand... The one-eyed man was far less threatening than this young man!


    The situation was very bad.


    Even the one-eyed man couldn''t stop Duan.


    How could Oscar, a warlock with little mana, fight Duan at close range?


    Duan walked over and said coldly: "Hand over Liu Rufeng''s notes, and I''ll give you a quick death!"


    Oscar didn''t say anything.


    "You won''t cry until you see the coffin?"


    With a flick of his wrist, the soft sword stabbed out. When the blade pierced Oscar''s shoulder, Duan didn''t feel the piercing of the ** at all. Duan showed a trace of surprise. Oscar standing in front of him disappeared, and the blade pierced into a stone.


    This is an illusion.


    Oscar secretly cast [Projection], which is not a clever spell. If the vision is clear during the day, it is easy to distinguish, but at night, if you don''t observe carefully, you can''t find it at all.


    He hid behind a stone slab next to him, tightly holding a talisman.


    At the moment when the sword stabbed out, Oscar squeezed out the last bit of mana and activated the [Entanglement] talisman in his hand. There are many restrictions on casting spells with talismans, especially the hit rate will be greatly reduced, but at such a close distance, with Oscar''s spell skills, it is impossible to miss.


    The ground cracked, and more than a dozen green vines gushed out, wrapping Duan''s body in an instant.


    Oscar picked up a military crossbow that fell on the ground and immediately aimed at Duan and shot an arrow. This is the only chance. The entanglement spell is a level 1 spell and cannot trap a martial arts master.


    Duan roared, his true energy surged, shattering the vines, and slightly tilted his body. The arrow failed to hit the vital point, but hit the shoulder.


    "Damn it!"


    Duan was about to kill him with a sword.


    Suddenly, a roar sounded behind him, and the one-eyed man hit him heavily like an angry rhino.


    "What?"


    Duan turned back and stabbed out a sword reflexively in horror. The one-eyed man let the blade pierce his body, and then stabbed Duan''s left chest with a backhand knife. The two people pierced each other''s bodies with their weapons. The one-eyed man was hysterical, his eyes were red and he roared, forcibly pushing Duan to rush out a few meters, and finally crashed into a broken wall.


    The bloody blade penetrated the ruins and nailed Duan to the wall!


    The one-eyed man''s veins bulged, and his whole body was abnormally flushed. This was obviously a trick of using some kind of overdraft potential to greatly improve strength in a short period of time. The side effects of this trick are often very huge.


    The one-eyed man obviously didn''t care, risked his life, ignored his injuries, and completed a suicide attack!


    He succeeded!


    Duan''s heart was pierced!


    "I''m not willing..."


    Duan''s eyes were red, looking at the devastated town, life quickly passed away from his body, he failed, completely failed.


    Duan''s mouth and nose were bleeding, and he looked up at the dark sky.


    Is this the end of my life?


    My ambition!


    My dream!


    I can''t accept it!


    I can''t accept it!


    Duan''s eyes dimmed quickly. He took the opportunity to send his son away, and now it seems... it was the right thing to do!


    "One-Eye!"


    "One-Eye!"


    One-Eye''s abdomen was pierced by a rapier, and the amount of bleeding was very large. It might hurt the spleen, which is a rich and fragile organ with a rich blood supply, and is very fatal.


    One-Eye was a little confused, just muttering: "Boy, did I kill him?"


    Oscar shouted: "Nonsense! He can''t be deader!"


    "Okay, okay! Hahaha..." One-Eye laughed triumphantly with blood all over his mouth, and said indistinctly: "Damn, you want to fight me? When I killed people, he was still drinking milk!"


    Oscar said with a puff: "Don''t be complacent, if I hadn''t tied him up, do you think you would have a chance?!"


    One-Eye took a few breaths and said: "This time... This time he will be disabled if he doesn''t die. Listen, kid, if I die, I still have a son, you... Take care of him for me, and beat him up more when you have nothing to do!"


    "Bullshit! You can''t die!"


    Oscar treated One-Eye''s wound urgently, carried One-Eye on his back with difficulty, and left the ruins step by step.


    The death of Liu Rufeng and Duan seemed to have come to an end. In fact, the crisis was not over. If nothing unexpected happened, the Orc Vanguard was already on the way and would soon arrive at Baisong Town!


    This is the real threat!


    Orcs.


    This is a terrifying warrior race. From the moment they are born, every orc needs to experience cruel natural tests and struggles for survival. Orc warriors who grow up in such an environment are simply incomparable to the pampered human warriors!


    The crisis in Baisong Town is not over.


    Quite the contrary.


    Everything now is just a prelude!

 Chapter 37 Wolf Cavalry

    The zombies lost Liu Rufeng''s control, and walked into the array in batches, and were purified in groups.


    Corpses piled up like a mountain.


    The scene was spectacular!


    All of them were killed!


    Although the array consumes little energy, the workload is huge. The warlock was exhausted from maintaining the array. Qin Yue sat on the ground panting, her swollen chest heaving violently, staring at the soldiers dragging the corpses together, and her heart was shocked beyond words!


    Too thrilling!


    Too exciting!


    Qin Yue was born in a wealthy family and had never had such an experience. She was not afraid, but her blood was boiling. This was a whole terrifying undead army, but it was easily destroyed. It was like a dream!


    Qin Yue stood up with difficulty, she wanted to find Oscar.


    This array is too powerful!


    What is its principle?


    How is it composed?


    Qin Yue wanted to learn, she wanted to learn too much!


    Qin Yue not only wanted to learn the array, but also felt eager to know everything about Oscar. No one has ever attracted her so much!


    Oscar hasn''t come back yet, won''t something happen...


    Qin Yue''s heart tightened.


    "Oscar is back!"


    Oscar stumbled to the square with One-Eye on his back, tripped over a zombie and fell to the ground. When he looked up, the soldiers stood in rows and rows neatly on the side of the road, all showing fanatical and excited expressions.


    A senior officer stood up and shouted, "Stand at attention!"


    Bang!


    The soldiers stood straight!


    The officer shouted, "Salute!"


    Swish!


    All the soldiers in the town saluted a teenager!


    The warlocks also stood up and gave Oscar a warlock salute.


    Oscar saved the town!


    Oscar saved them!


    Everyone saluted Oscar from the bottom of their hearts!


    Oscar stood up and said, "Save people first!"


    The mercenaries surrounded him and carried away the unconscious One-Eye. He was too seriously injured this time. Whether he could survive depended on luck!


    In order to kill Duan, One-Eye used a trick of overdrawing life in exchange for explosive power in a short period of time. This is a very dangerous practice. One-Eye was already old, and now he was seriously injured in many places, and there was a penetrating wound, which caused the spleen to rupture and caused fatal damage!


    "Too much blood loss, life failure, almost out of breath."


    The mercenary was extremely anxious.


    Several bottles of potion were poured in a row, and the therapist tried his best to treat him, but the situation was still not optimistic.


    Oscar wrote out two formulas, stuffed them into a mercenary and said: "Go find materials to make medicine. This is a medicine for replenishing qi and blood, which can save One-Eye''s life!"


    The mercenary hurried to make medicine,


    Qin Yue pushed the crowd and walked in. She almost didn''t recognize Oscar.


    The robe was completely tattered, and his face, injuries, chest, and back were all covered with large and small wounds, and covered with dust, like a coal miner who had just walked out of the mine.


    "Everyone listen!" Oscar didn''t care about resting, and immediately shouted to the mercenaries: "This crisis is not over yet, the orcs are coming soon! Pack up your weapons and defend the city wall immediately!"


    What happened tonight made the soldiers and mercenaries present grateful and admire Oscar from the bottom of their hearts. Although Oscar had no right to command anyone, thousands of mercenaries did not hesitate and immediately ran to the city wall and began to prepare to defend the city.


    When the night was about to pass and a touch of white appeared on the horizon.


    A beacon tower was lit.


    "The orcs are coming!"


    "The orcs are coming!"


    Oscar''s prediction came true. A group of orcs came from the north at a very fast speed. They arrived under the city wall from the checkpoint in less than 30 minutes.


    When an old officer saw the orcs, he couldn''t help but screamed in horror, "My God, it''s wolf cavalry!"


    Everyone was shocked!


    It was actually quite normal for the orcs to suffer from famine every year and go south to plunder human villages and towns. However, those orcs are all a mob, often without even a single regular weapon, and can only use wooden sticks and stone sticks as weapons.


    These orcs are tall, covered with thick hair, wearing thick leather armor, and their weapons are mainly giant hammers, giant axes, and spears, and they are also equipped with broad-bladed sabers on their waists.


    Orcs all ride on wolves.


    No wonder they are so fast!


    The war wolves are about 1.5 meters tall, each fat and strong, weighing at least 200 kilograms, with exposed fangs, bloodshot eyes, and leather armor on their heads, backs, and limbs for protection.


    Wolf cavalry!


    The famous wolf cavalry of the orcs!


    These war wolves are not ordinary wolves, they are all domesticated from plateau snow wolves, with strength equivalent to level 1 magic beasts, and can cast some simple spells. If the human cavalry fights with them, the war wolves will roar in unison, and the war horses will be frightened and confused, and the human cavalry will basically collapse without attacking.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.


    In addition, the orcs who are qualified to become wolf cavalry are all warriors who have been strictly selected. They are the elite among the elite. A half-orc who is qualified to become a wolf cavalry can beat ten ordinary human soldiers just like playing.


    Wolf cavalry has not appeared for at least 30 years!


    Five hundred wolf cavalry!


    Their threat is no less than that of Liu Rufeng''s zombie army!


    Wolf cavalry are good at field battles, especially in areas with complex terrain. If they encounter them in the wild, the combat effectiveness of three thousand zombies may not be comparable to that of five hundred wolf cavalry!


    "What''s going on?"


    The orcs were very strange.


    In Baisong Town, torches were lit and the lights were bright. The archers'' longbows were pulled open, a row of muskets were ready to shoot, and the powerful crossbows were calibrating their directions. This was completely different from what they imagined.


    An officer shouted in the city: "Hey, guys in the north, you must want to see him, right?"


    A corpse with a neck was lowered from the city wall, swinging like a pendulum.


    It was Duan.


    The orcs naturally understood that the plan had failed!


    "Idiots, go back to your plateau!"


    "That''s where the dirty orcs should stay!"


    "Want to get involved in human towns?"


    "You are courting your own death!"


    The soldiers mocked loudly. Orcs are a race with a bad temper and were furious.


    One of the wolf cavalry roared: "Ger, please give the order, we will attack!"


    The leader of the wolf cavalry was a fairly young orc, about 2.3 meters tall, covered with black hair, and wearing a rare set of metal plate armor.


    "Stupid, wolf cavalry is not for siege."


    "But..."


    The wolf cavalry leader shouted: "Bring a bow!"


    This orc was very sober and knew that cavalry was not suitable for siege. It is not easy to train wolf cavalry. Every wolf cavalry is a valuable fighting force. Good steel should be used on the blade. If it is used to attack the city and casualties occur, it is a waste.


    An orc came up with a big bow.


    The wolf cavalry leader pulled the bow.


    "Swoosh!"


    Amidst the shrill screams, a soldier who was chattering had his head exploded in half, and an arrow was nailed to the tower wall behind him, deeply embedded in the stone slab, the arrow feathers trembled constantly, and were covered with red and white things.


    "Ah!"


    The others were scared to death.


    An ordinary bow shot ** a hundred meters, not only accurately hit the target, but also had such power, this power is comparable to a bed crossbow, this archery is extraordinary!


    How strong is the true qi that must be added!


    The orc''s strength is far above the one-eyed one, reaching the 40-star great martial artist, this level is similar to Liu Rufeng!


    The power of an arrow is so frightening that the shouting stops abruptly!


    It''s like a duck being strangled by the neck, and it can no longer shout.


    The soldier dared not stick his head out again, for fear of being shot through by an arrow.


    The orc laughed and said, "You ridiculous human monkey, you can only talk big? My name is Geer-Hell Song. I will slaughter the whole city one day for the glory of Hell Song! Let''s go!"


    The wolf cavalry turned around and left.


    Too arrogant!


    Everyone''s face turned pale and blue, and they felt extremely humiliated and a little scared.


    This orc is too strong!


    If he didn''t cherish the wolf cavalry, he would have taken the town with his ability!


    Baisong Town is safe for the time being.


    Oscar was taking care of the one-eyed man''s injury. When he learned that the orc had retreated, he couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    A mercenary sighed, "There is a Hell Song named Er. He shot an arrow from a thousand meters away and shot over the skull of a small captain. It''s really fucking amazing!"


    Oscar didn''t care about the strength, but he was interested in the orc himself. He immediately stood up and asked, "What did you say? What''s the name of the orc? Say it again!"


    The mercenary was stunned and repeated it.


    "Ger, Hell Song?" Qin Yue, who was standing by, shook her head and said, "It''s a strange name, but the names of alien races are different from those of humans, so it''s not surprising. It is said that some names of demons, if translated into human language, have dozens of characters."


    "Ger-Hell Song?" Oscar frowned a little, revealing a solemn look, "Ger is a name, Hell Song is the name of a half-orc tribe, this Hell Song tribe is not simple!"


    Qin Yue asked, "Is there anything special?"


    Oscar explained, "Hell Song is an ancient and powerful clan..."


    The grievances between the two tribes can be traced back to the distant mechanical civilization!


    This was the first civilization established by the human race, which was very, very long ago. At that time, the human race was the undisputed overlord, and the hundreds of races could only survive as vassals. The half-orcs are one of the vassal tribes living in the north, mainly living in the northern half of the Frost Plateau.


    At the end of the human mechanical civilization, the forbidden weapons lost control, and the human race fell apart in the civil war, giving the alien race the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and completely defeat the weak human race.


    After the human race left the stage of history, they were surrounded and captured by the whole continent, reduced to a slave race, and suffered cruel whipping, enslavement and abuse. The population dropped sharply to less than one thousandth, and it was on the verge of complete extinction several times!


    The human civilization was broken for 20,000 years!


    At that time, the orcs were a very important force in the anti-human army.


    A figure who shocked the history of the orcs was born at this time. His name is "Grulu-Hell Song". Grulu led the Hell Song Tribe to sweep across the orc tribes of the entire Frost Plateau and unify the entire orc race.


    Grulu is known as the first generation of "King of Hammer" and is the first king in the history of the orcs.


    Among the orcs who are known for their barbarity and aggressiveness, he is a rare man of great talent and strategy!


    Grulu seized the historical opportunity, led 1.2 million elite warriors of the Orcs, united the twelve northern races, formed an army of eight million, and captured tens of millions of square kilometers of human land in one fell swoop, controlling the northern border of the human race.


    The human race was stretched to its limits at the time, facing a situation of being surrounded by enemies.


    In the north, there were thirteen highland races led by the Orcs.


    In the south, there were powerful demons and goblins.


    In the west, there was an alliance of giants, dwarves, and orcs.


    In the east, there were mysterious sea tribes and dragon tribes invading.


    In the end.


    The mechanical civilization came to an end, and the alien races divided up the fertile Middle-earth, robbed the glorious wealth of the human race, burned down cities, and destroyed traces of human civilization.


    The war is not over.


    When the human civilization fell apart, Grulu swung his blade at his former allies. The twelve northern tribes were defeated one by one, and an unprecedented Orc Empire rose from the ground, with a population of 500 million to 600 million at its peak!


    The Orc Empire did not last long.


    After the death of the fifteenth generation "King of Hammer", several powerful tribes began to rebel because no successor was selected.


    In the end, the Orc Empire collapsed and returned to the tribal period. Each Orc tribe wanted to be the new "King of Hammer", so the battle never stopped, but history has proved that not every Orc can become Grulu.


    The Orcs have been in war for many years, the population has continued to decline, and the strength of the race has greatly decreased.


    The human race, with the dedication and sacrifice of several heroes and great men, countless pioneers and martyrs, has revived the race on the verge of extinction, broken and reborn, and got rid of the pain of [Mechanical Civilization], and opened the great prelude of [Skill and Martial Civilization] with a grand ceremony.


    Two thousand years ago.


    The eight large orc clans fought a civil war again, which greatly reduced the strength and population of the orcs. The human race, which had risen in Middle-earth at that time, seized the opportunity and took advantage of the opportunity to slaughter nearly 10 million orcs, destroy the orcs'' homes, and establish the Northern Dynasty.


    Some remaining orcs fled back to their hometown, the Frost Plateau, and began to live a lingering life. Now the orcs may not even have a population of 50 million.


    The Northern Empire was established only a few hundred years ago, and it disintegrated due to drastic changes and split into 16 domains, controlled by 16 lords. History is always like this, ups and downs, splits and reunions.


    There is no eternal glory.


    There is no eternal victory.


    The orcs live on the barren and cold plateau. They are full of hatred and hostility towards the human race, and they always want to go south to take back the fertile land that originally belonged to them.


    "This ancient clan should have disappeared for thousands of years."


    Oscar recalled history.


    During this period, demons broke out and the power of the northern human race was split. The northern orcs did go south and occupied a large piece of land. They were not suppressed again until 500 years later.


    I don¡¯t know much about the details.


    The human race has a long history and has experienced several chaotic times, which caused the loss of documents. The contents of historical records are often interpreted and modified, and may not be completely correct. Moreover, Oscar is just a knowledgeable warlock, not a pure historian.


    The only thing that can be confirmed is that the orcs have made a big move.


    Could it be the song of hell?

 Chapter 38 Corpse Witch

    The cedar stood melancholy by the roadside, ice condensed in the canal, the wind whistled past, the snow on the trees was blown off, and the tiny snowflakes floated all over the sky.


    Outside the city wall, it was cold and vast.


    That was the wilderness, the northern border covered with ice and snow.


    Two soldiers threw the stiff body in, and with a "bang", there was another body on the hill in the pit. Looking around, there were piles of garbage in all directions, frozen stiff, covered with frost... The picture was a bit bleak.


    The captain waved his hand and said, "Burn it!"


    That''s it.


    I didn''t want to watch it anymore.


    Dozens of soldiers carried buckets and poured fuel oil, and a torch was thrown in. The raging fire instantly devoured everything in it.


    When the fire gradually died out, the soldiers filled the soil back and let the cold earth bury everything.


    An officer trotted to Oscar and said respectfully: "All the unclaimed bodies have been dealt with. The ashes of the town lady were sent to her family to be buried with the mayor."


    "Well, that''s it!" Oscar looked at the sky filled with black smoke, and sighed a little, "Let it all pass."


    Qin Yue adjusted her black-framed glasses, her beautiful and charming red eyes stared at Oscar''s back.


    Almost forgot.


    This boy is four or five years younger than her!


    It''s just a kind of maturity and vicissitudes that don''t match his age, plus extraordinary knowledge and courage, which is really very confusing and attractive, making people involuntarily ignore his age.


    The officer reported another thing: "We didn''t find any traces of the orcs, and they are suspected to have gone far away. Should we continue to track them?"


    "The wolf cavalry''s wolves can smell the scent of humans from a few miles away, and can track targets over 100 miles away. If a fight breaks out, can you defeat the wolf cavalry?" Oscar didn''t want the soldiers to die, so he shook his head and said, "It''s too dangerous. Let the search team withdraw immediately."


    "Yes!"


    Oscar had no right to order anyone, but the soldiers were convinced by him.


    "Don''t deal with that special corpse for the time being." Oscar remembered something, and after weighing it over and over again, he said, "Liu Rufeng has been studying the magic of death for half his life, but he has only developed incomplete methods, which ultimately harms others and himself. However, his research should not be buried, and I will perfect the magic of death."


    "Ah?"


    The mercenaries and soldiers were stunned when they heard this.


    Still studying evil magic?


    Liu Rufeng is extremely evil, and he should be vented by crushing his bones and scattering his ashes!


    Oscar didn''t care about the strange looks and said calmly, "In this world, magic has no distinction between good and evil, just like the sword in your hand. It is good when used by good people and evil when used by evil people. The key is to look at the person who uses it."


    There was a flame burning in Qin Yue''s bright eyes, and his whole body was hot, and he felt extremely hungry and thirsty!


    Necromancer spell!


    Necromancer spell in his hands?


    He wanted to continue studying this magical spell?


    "Don''t worry about them, what do uneducated soldiers know! I support you!" Qin Yue stood up with her plump chest, put her hands on her waist, and said carelessly: "You rough people get out of the way! This spell is the wealth of the human race, and it should not be buried in vain! That... Can you teach me? No, you must teach me, I am willing to do anything for you!"


    This... is a little ambiguous!


    The mercenary looked weird.


    Qin Yue is much more beautiful than the deceased mayor''s wife Lin Bairong. She has a cold and beautiful appearance, a dignified temperament, and a hot body, especially her full and upright breasts and a pair of perfect plump long legs, which can simply seduce people''s souls.


    Qin Yue also felt that something was wrong, so she quickly shut up, her cheeks slightly hot.


    Oscar coughed lightly, without agreeing or refusing, "This... let''s talk about it later."


    Qin Yue was not discouraged, and asked excitedly: "What can these zombies be used for?"


    "Zombies are a kind of dead demons." Oscar said as he walked: "I don''t approve of the use of dead demons in the military, but I can''t deny the role of dead demons on the battlefield. Nowadays, the continent is divided by demons and alien races. If the magic of dead demons can be developed, it will greatly strengthen the military power and enhance the status of the human race. In addition, dead demons like zombies are very excellent laborers. They can be widely used in mining, transportation, etc., to increase productivity..."


    15,000 years later.


    The art of death is still not recognized by the world, and relevant laws are issued. Institutions without licenses are strictly prohibited from privately making and using dead demons. However, in the army, the Undead Army is a very important reserve army. They usually sleep in one place and are awakened when needed, saving military and political expenses.


    In large factories and magic laboratories, different Undead also play a very important role.


    The zombies that Oscar wants to refine are not ordinary zombies, but corpse wizards.


    Corpse wizards are also called zombie wizards.


    This is a more advanced Undead.


    Qin Yue was a little impatient. She said: "Liu Rufeng has dedicated his life to [Death Art] and likes zombies more than living people. If the perfect Undead Art can appear on him, he can be considered to have died a worthy death!"Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.


    "Maybe, but it can''t be completed in a short time. The funds in my hands are not enough for the time being."


    Qin Yue expressed understanding!


    Oscar is a genius, but Liu Rufeng is not a fool. The latter has been studying for more than 20 years and has not been able to improve the spell. How can it be improved overnight?


    The study of the art is very expensive.


    Qin Yue thought: Can I help Oscar do something? Just the few formulas and recipes he gave me are enough to create huge value.


    If I can solve the research funding problem for Oscar, he might let me participate in the research of the dead magic!


    The more Qin Yue thought about it, the more excited she became!


    Yes!


    I want to help him!


    Make money for him!


    Qin Yue had a plan in mind.


    In fact, she didn''t know that Oscar''s attainments in the [Death Art] were top-notch even in the future. Not to mention zombies, if there were materials, the Hades Dragon could refine it for her to see.


    Why do we need to study?


    It''s just that corpse witches are not like zombies. The production of corpse witches is very complicated and the cost of refining is very high, so more funds are needed.


    Oscar''s magic power is too weak, and it''s a bit difficult to control high-level corpse witches. Personally, he doesn''t like to use death spells. However, even if he is a genius, spell improvement cannot be completed overnight, and amplification potions cannot be used continuously. Since the recent events, Oscar urgently needs to improve his ability to ensure the safety of himself and Alice.


    He doesn''t want to see Alice get hurt!


    Since the strength cannot be improved in a short time.


    Then why not use external objects?


    The town is still in danger.


    Hell Song.


    This is a mysterious clan with a history of tens of thousands of years and disappeared for thousands of years. They secretly planned for several years and trained elite wolf cavalry. Obviously, they are ambitious to launch a real war.


    Duan may have started to collude with the orcs several years ago. At that time, the orcs had the idea of ??going south.


    Duan originally wanted to simply cooperate with the orcs and be responsible for the internal response when the orcs attacked the town. Two or three years ago, Duan discovered Liu Rufeng who was living in seclusion, and then he came up with a more reliable way.


    The human race has set up a large number of monitoring stations in remote areas to monitor any disturbances.


    Once the orcs cross the border, they will be discovered, and human reinforcements will emerge from all directions. The orcs'' battle line is too long, and it is difficult to supply them if they go deep behind enemy lines. Once the human race cuts off their retreat, they will be trapped to death.


    If Duan''s plan succeeds, the situation will be different.


    The orcs'' elite wolf cavalry will first control Baisong Town, not only to harvest a large amount of supplies, but also to establish a stronghold for the army to be continuously transported in. With complete city walls and fortifications, and Liu Rufeng, the undead magician, controlling a large group of troops who do not need to eat and are not afraid of death, it will be difficult for the human race to recapture Baisong Town.


    At this time, the orcs will take Baisong Town as the center and begin to erode the surrounding towns, continuously expand the results of the war, continuously increase the number of troops, and finally capture Baicheng.


    The plan failed!


    But the orcs have been preparing for several years, and it is impossible for them to stop there.


    Oscar returned to the hotel.


    Alice Mu has recovered and volunteered to prepare medicinal materials, assist the pharmacist in refining medicine, and help treat the wounded. Alice can''t remember anything about the assassination that day, and there is a gap of about 20 hours in her memory.


    This is a good thing.


    Alice''s fair face was covered with ash. She immediately helped Oscar take off his coat and hung it on the hanger. "Why did you come back just now? The one-eyed uncle''s injury has stabilized. The therapist said that he is out of danger. It''s a great thing, but..."


    "What''s wrong?"


    "I don''t know why..." Alice scratched her head and said with a distressed face, "Everyone is always weird. They always avoid Alice and don''t talk to Alice. Did I do something wrong, so I''m annoying?"


    Oscar tapped her on the head, "Alice is beautiful, cute and hardworking. I like her too much! Don''t think about it, okay?"


    Alice''s pretty face blushed and she smiled sweetly. The young master''s praise made her feel very comfortable. The depression was swept away and she didn''t mention it anymore. "The one-eyed uncle just drank the medicine and should not be asleep now."


    "I''ll go see."


    Walked into the room.


    One-eyed was lying on the bed, and his wounds were healed.


    Although he drank the special medicine provided by Oscar, his life was saved. However, the one-eyed man was seriously injured, and his true energy dropped sharply, from the level of a 21-star martial artist to a 19-star martial artist. He was too old and it was difficult for him to recover.


    Oscar walked over: "I said, you can''t die!"


    "But you are half useless!" The one-eyed man looked depressed, and then laughed loudly, "I can work hard before retiring, and I have no regrets in my life! It''s worth it!"


    "Retire?"


    "I''m ready to retire, and the headquarters will send someone to take over. The brothers in the town will be temporarily handed over to you to take care of." Du Ting showed a relaxed look: "I have been a mercenary since I was a teenager. I am almost 54 years old this year. I am too old and can''t work anymore!"


    Although there is a way to restore his strength, the old mercenary has been walking on the edge of a knife for most of his life, and it is time to retire and enjoy a good life.


    Oscar was a little regretful: "What are your plans?"


    "I have saved a lot of money over the years. Of course, I will go back to my hometown to marry a wife with big breasts and a round butt, and keep a few concubines." When the one-eyed man said this, he suddenly said seriously: "Boy, I am good to you, right!"


    "What do you think?"


    "Don''t say that. We have been through life and death together. You have to help me."


    "Help you?"


    The old mercenary said seriously: "The medicine made from the Xinjin grass will be very necessary when I go home to retire. You can give it to me as a farewell gift."


    Oscar didn''t know whether to laugh or cry: "You are old, so you should stop tossing around, otherwise you will die."


    The one-eyed man stared and asked: "Damn it! Don''t talk nonsense! I don''t like it! In one word, will you help me!?"


    Oscar had no choice but to ask Alice to bring paper and pen.


    Write a formula and give it to the one-eyed man.


    The one-eyed man kissed the formula excitedly!


    Qin Yue was very interested in everything about the art of magic, and immediately came up to him like a chicken blood, "What is this formula?"


    One-eyed showed ecstasy and said, "You don''t understand? This is a magic medicine that benefits the people, promotes social harmony, and strengthens the prosperity of the race!"


    Qin Yue showed shock and asked quickly: "Is it really that powerful? What function does it have a name?"


    The prescription was thought up on the spur of the moment, and Oscar had not thought of a name.


    "Then let me give it a name, it''s called One-eyed Super Magic Water! Apply it, the golden gun will not fall! Apply it, and you will kill all directions!" One-eyed said with a laugh: "In my lifetime, I will sell it all over the country! Let the magic potion become a must-have item for home and travel!"


    Mu Alice felt very strange, "Magic potion, what a strange name! Is it really that powerful?"


    Magic stick?


    Is it a medicine that increases the strength of warriors?


    Qin Yue was not as naive as Alice. She thought of it immediately. She was ashamed and angry. She glared at him and cursed him, "Old rascal." She reached out to grab it.


    One-eyed man put the formula in his arms, "What are you doing? The sexual happiness formula of countless men and women can benefit all mankind. How can you destroy it? Oscar is old and energetic. Even if you don''t need it, you should think about other women! Don''t be too selfish! Everyone is happy, this is really happy!"


    "Old man!"


    "You are talking nonsense. Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth!"


    Qin Yue''s face flushed. Although she was in her twenties, she had never held a man''s hand. What did the dead rascal think of herself!


    Oscar quickly stopped her and waved his hand, saying, "Stop it! This old guy is just like this. Don''t bother with him."


    Qin Yue stared at One-eyed man, and her chest swelled as if she was going to tear her clothes apart!


    Oscar was wrong too.


    He actually invented such a thing!


    It''s really embarrassing.


    What no one expected was that One-Eye retired and returned to his hometown to invest in a pharmaceutical factory, producing magic potions on a large scale, and eventually sold them in more than 40 cities, making a fortune.


    That''s all for the future.


    "I''ll let my son replace me." One-Eye restrained his smile and said seriously: "The boy is not very old, but he has been tempered for five years and is very experienced. His martial arts and true energy are better than mine, and his talent is one of the best in the group. He will definitely become your right-hand man, you have to give him some advice."


    Oscar understood.


    One-Eye deliberately chose to withdraw, mainly because he saw Oscar''s potential and thought that there was a future with him. Therefore, he sent his son over to assist Oscar and also make his son successful.

 Chapter 39 Retirement

    The next day, the sky was hazy, and the drizzle was like a layer of gauze, quietly floating in the wild. More than a thousand mercenaries, as well as the townspeople who had been helped by the mercenaries, all spontaneously went out of the city to see off the one-eyed man, and the soldiers maintained order on the scene.


    The one-eyed man was helped to sit in a bright car. When he looked back at the familiar faces and the small town where he had lived for several years, the old mercenary realized that his career of more than 30 years was finally forced to end, and his mercenary life came to an end.


    It is inevitable that there will be a little loss and melancholy.


    However, the old mercenary has no regrets.


    Because a person, the youngest years, the strongest period, the most passionate youth, are all devoted to the love of vision, all spent in the love of life, what a happy thing it is!


    A person lives for only a few decades!


    The old mercenary is no longer strong. Thirty years have brought him a lot of pain, but he has no regrets in his heart, because someone will take over the dream and belief and continue to go on. Since he is old, he should retreat bravely and enjoy himself.


    Mercenary is a high-risk profession. How many people can retire peacefully like him?


    One-Eye sat firmly and shouted at the top of his voice: "Okay! That''s enough! Don''t be like a woman! What''s wrong with me going back to my hometown to marry a wife and enjoy a peaceful life? Don''t make it more like a funeral! I still want to live a few more years!"


    All the brave and fierce men had red eyes.


    "Remember!"


    "Don''t embarrass me, One-Eye!"


    "Don''t embarrass the Snow Wolf Mercenaries!"


    "Get lost!"


    "Go back to work!"


    One-Eye has been managing Baisong Town for some years. Although he has a rough personality, he is meticulous. The mercenary industry is well managed. Moreover, One-Eye attaches great importance to loyalty. In the past few years, the mercenaries have never suffered any loss when they work for him.


    A wretched mercenary said, "One-eyed boss, remember to go back home and make a few more people!"


    Another person laughed and said, "Yes, add some new blood to the Snow Wolf Mercenaries!"


    "Take it easy, be careful not to die of exhaustion!"


    "Hahaha..."


    Everyone waved goodbye, the whistle blew, the machinery started to operate, steam gushed out, and the car went farther and farther along the avenue with a clacking sound.


    Mu Alice secretly wiped a tear, and said with red eyes: "One-eyed uncle has a loud voice and is rude, but he is a good person. Will we see each other again?"


    Oscar pressed Alice''s shoulder and said, "Don''t be sad, One-eyed is really old and is not suitable to be a mercenary. Retirement is also a good thing for him! If we are destined, we will definitely see each other again."


    Mu Alice nodded.


    Wang Jian died, Lin Bairong died, the Du family was destroyed, the Li family left, and even One-eyed left.


    All the influential people in Baisong Town are gone.


    No matter the military or the mercenaries, they all obey Oscar''s arrangements now, and they can only obey Oscar''s arrangements.


    When Oscar saw off the one-eyed man and returned to the town, an officer suddenly ran over in a panic: "Sir Oscar, something big happened! A snow sheep village in the south was attacked. It must have been done by the wolf cavalry of the orcs who evacuated!"


    Oscar said with a serious expression: "Let the search battalion prepare, we will go and see!"


    The snow sheep village is less than 30 miles away!


    Such a close village was attacked, and it was in the south, which means that the orcs did not go far at all, and even had no intention of evacuating. This wolf cavalry wandered in the human territory and could turn around and attack the town at any time.


    There is no cavalry team in Baisong Town, and the mobile search team is the only rapid response team. This army is well-equipped and even equipped with vehicles, mostly snowmobiles and snowmobiles, all of which meet military standards and have decent speed. If they encounter wolf cavalry, they still have the ability to escape.


    The manufacturing technology of modern mechanical tools generally comes from the previous civilization.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    After the destruction of mechanical civilization, there was a fault about 20,000 years ago, and the advanced technology was destroyed. After the opening of the martial arts civilization, people barely found some relics of the previous civilization in some ruins and secret realms, and produced some simple and rough mechanical tools.


    The situation in Zhongzhou Continent is not very clear.


    The mechanical technology of the northern continent is very backward. The weapons are mostly semi-automatic firearms filled with gunpowder and steel balls. The tools are also very rough. The assembly lines of large factories are generally semi-manual, and the labor force cannot be liberated.


    Now the distribution of technology is very uneven. Some private forces have the ability to produce more powerful weapons by digging out ancient technologies from the ruins, but they are only in their own hands and never sold to the outside world. Some forces must have the ability to produce advanced fully automatic firearms, but they are very rare, and Baisong Town must not be equipped.


    About 20 minutes later, the mobile team stopped in a place with a wide field of vision. There was a faint black smoke rising in front, which was the location of the village.


    The soldiers took out muskets, bows, crossbows and other weapons and distributed them around.


    "The orcs may be ambushing, so send a search team to investigate the front first."


    "Yes!"


    Ten capable search soldiers entered the woods, while the others stayed on guard. The surrounding area had a wide field of vision and did not meet the conditions for a sneak attack. If the orc wolf cavalry appeared, the soldiers would also have a chance to respond.


    Three flares were fired into the sky, in green, green and black colors.


    The signal indicated that there was no danger, but there were no survivors in the village.


    The village, with a total of more than 800 people.


    They mainly make a living by hunting and planting, and are basically self-sufficient. The excess fur and meat can be sold to merchants in exchange for some necessities of life. In the early morning, a small vendor wanted to go to the village to purchase supplies as before. Now that the town is affected by the orcs, the price of food has skyrocketed by 30% to 40%, which is profitable.


    As a result, the scene they saw when they entered the village scared them to death.


    Miserable!


    Too miserable!


    The entire village of 861 people was slaughtered, and no one was left alive. The bodies had been gnawed to pieces by the ferocious wolves, regardless of gender, age or status. The scene was horrible! The entire village was set on fire, and now only some charred wooden frames were left.


    A blood-stained flag was tied to a tree in front of the village, fluttering silently in the cold wind. The pattern on it was a skull symbol split by a battle axe - the flag of the song of hell!


    It must be the orcs!


    Only the orcs would do such a thing!


    The orcs were too much!


    All disappeared, the whole village was wiped out, and they were killed cleanly!


    Yaks and snow sheep were all captured, and all the food was robbed!


    The soldiers'' faces were livid!


    It was simply unforgivable!


    The officer ran to Oscar and said, "Sir, there is a row of blood words here!"


    A piece of bark was peeled off from the tree, and the orcs wrote some words on it with blood. These characters are pictographic structures, similar to human characters, but with simple strokes, obviously ancient and primitive.


    The Orcs live in tribal form, and the period of great unification was short, so they could not establish a unified character. Different tribes have different characters. There are countless Orc tribes and countless types of characters. The best linguists in the world dare not say that they know every Orc character.


    "... The ancestors will accompany me on my journey. The dirty human blood will be sprinkled on the King of Hammer Road. The glory of Hell Song will reappear..."


    This text is the text of the Hell Song clan. Hell Song has established a highly glorious Orc Empire in history. It is widely circulated, so Oscar can recognize it.


    "What did the Orcs write?"


    Oscar pretended not to know, shook his head and said: "These barbarians prepared for several years, but the plan failed. They had to vent their anger by bloodbathing a small village. They left a few harsh words before leaving, just to demonstrate."


    The officer did not ask more questions, and thought so.


    "Be careful, beware of the orcs coming back. Bury the victims properly, and don''t report the news for the time being. The attack on Baisong Town was sensational enough, and now there are reports that a large number of villagers were massacred by orcs. White City will definitely be in chaos."


    "Yes!"


    Oscar''s eyes swept across the ruined village, and his eyes gradually became solemn. That paragraph must have been left by an orc warrior named Gel, who must be a descendant of Grulu.


    A short message is definitely not a simple demonstration.


    The status of the orcs is low now, and survival has become difficult, but this person dreams of becoming the King of Hammers, which is really rare.


    Oscar can feel it. This is a brave man with great ambitions, dreaming of relaying the glory of his ancestors and recreating the pride of the Hell Song Clan. From the lines, you can feel that the other party is a person with a fanatical faith as strong as steel. This kind of enemy is tenacious and very difficult. Even if the power is not enough now, it will become a big disaster in the near future.


    These 500 wolf cavalrymen attacked the village and robbed a lot of food. They will not worry about food in the short term, and will linger nearby. Baisong Town and nearby villages will all be in a dangerous environment.


    Be sure to be prepared!


    Oscar made a decision to start refining corpses and refine a high-level corpse witch!


    In fact, no matter what type of zombie, the initial steps are similar. All of them are antiseptic treatment. If necessary, they are soaked in **hardening liquid to harden the muscles and strengthen the bones.


    This process takes 10 days and has no technical content. Just let the mercenaries do it. Oscar is mainly responsible for spell processing, such as engraving magic circles, importing energy, etc. The most important step is to ignite the soul fire. As long as the soul fire is ignited, the undead demon can be successfully made.


    Ordinary zombies can be awakened in 15 days.


    Of course, the production of corpse witches will be much more complicated than ordinary ones, but Liu Rufeng is a 40-ring master magician. Once Oscar succeeds in making it, he will definitely be able to create a master magician-level bodyguard, and it will be difficult for ordinary people to hurt Oscar again.


    Oscar needs to use a ritual to activate the body so that the zombie can restore its ability to cast spells. He also needs to buy a large amount of precious magic substances to make special liquid medicine to soak the corpse to stabilize and enhance the magic power.


    Of course, the most difficult step is to ignite the soul fire!


    Oscar''s magic power is too weak at present. It is definitely a very challenging thing to ignite the soul fire of a high-level corpse witch! However, Oscar has no time to think about it. Even if he knows it will be very difficult, he has to give it a try!


    In troubled times, survival is difficult, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow!


    Perhaps the present of Snow Sheep Village is the future of White Pine Town!

 Chapter 40 Yunyue Studio

    Soul Fire - The Source of Power of the Dead Demon!


    Ordinary zombie soul fire can be ignited with just a few common materials. If the magic power is strong enough, the warlock can even ignite the soul fire directly with a spell without the help of materials.


    High-level corpse wizards are different. The whole process is very complicated. Not only do they need special arrays and spells, but they also need powerful enough fuel. Only in this way can the corpse wizard have sufficient supply power. Oscar knows very well that the best material for igniting soul fire is demon crystal, but demons are not easy to find and even harder to deal with. If they can''t be found, they can only use beast crystal as a substitute.


    Oscar roughly estimates that the basic materials alone may not be less than dozens of gold coins, and the beast crystal is best at level 3 strength. However, level 3 monsters are very rare, and a level 3 beast crystal can easily be auctioned for hundreds or thousands of gold coins. Where does Oscar get so much money?


    Oscar has a sum of money, but at most he can live a good life. If he wants to complete some research or experiments, he may not even be able to purchase spell materials.


    The turmoil a while ago has just subsided.


    Oscar originally planned not to do anything too eye-catching for a short time, but now he has no choice because he needs money! From the current situation, the fastest way to make money is to sell spells or formulas.


    Oscar said, "Qin Yue, come in."


    "Yes!" Qin Yue''s slender and plump figure pushed the door and ran in in a hurry. Her pair of proud breasts were surging, and she looked at Oscar with expectation, "Do you need anything? Or do you need help with spell research? I''m ready! I can do anything!"


    Oscar frowned. This woman is excellent in other aspects, but she is always a little neurotic, which often makes Oscar puzzled. He handed her a few formulas and said, "My research funds are very tight, and I happen to have a few formulas. After the blockade of the town is lifted and logistics is restored, you can help me send them to Baicheng to sell."


    Oscar wrote the formula again?


    "Courage potion, concentration potion, anti-fatigue potion, body-hardening pill?" Qin Yue pushed up her glasses excitedly and took a look, revealing a horrified expression. Then she looked through the refining formula and found that the materials were all very common, and they should not be advanced potions. "What functions do they have?"


    Oscar explained simply: "Courage potion is a potion that can dispel fear. I think the army and mercenaries need it very much."


    Qin Yue''s charming eyes widened with a surprised expression: "What did you say? Did I hear it wrong? Fear can also be dispelled by potions?"


    Fear can also be eliminated by potions?


    Qin Yue thought that she had read countless books, but she had never known such a thing!


    Oscar thought Qin Yue was a bit long-winded, but he still patiently explained: "Fear is a state of mind, a kind of spiritual energy generated by the movement of thought, and any energy can be changed or eliminated."


    Qin Yue said blankly: "This is too mysterious!"


    "When a person is in a dangerous environment, the fear in the mind will increase. People with strong will can restrain fear, and people with weak will may be affected." Oscar paused, pointed to the formula and said: "This potion can relieve mental fear."


    Qin Yue seemed to understand a little, but seemed to understand nothing.


    Spiritual energy...


    There are many known energies in this world, among which only the five elements and life are used to establish a system. Other energies such as light, darkness, thunder, etc., although everyone knows that they exist, few warlocks can understand their laws.


    What is spiritual energy?


    Except for the courage potion.


    The effects of other potions are not bad.


    The effect of the concentration potion is to eliminate distracting thoughts and improve memory. Drinking a bottle while studying or reading can help you concentrate highly, thus greatly enhancing your learning, memory, and comprehension abilities. It is a must-have medicine for warlocks.


    Anti-fatigue potion, as the name suggests, has the effect of resisting fatigue.


    Body-tempering pills, which are specially used by warriors, can strengthen the body after taking them. When warriors do physical exercises, they immediately feel the effect doubled.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    Oscar didn''t dare to take out something too good.


    The four medicines were also carefully considered.


    All of them are auxiliary drugs, characterized by low cost, broad market, and applicable to the National People''s Congress.


    If they are mass-produced, they will definitely create huge profits.


    Qin Yue exclaimed: "Do you know that any of these will inevitably become a best-selling drug and a huge cash cow, which will definitely make ten or a hundred times more money than the spells you sold before, and will even cause a sensation in the pharmacy community. Isn''t it a pity to sell the whole thing?"


    "I still have a lot of this formula, and there is no need to produce and sell it myself. I just want to get money quickly for research and experiments."


    Qin Yue felt that his saliva was about to flow out.


    Oscar became a fat sheep in his heart.


    Qin Yue wanted to pounce on him and eat him up!


    Qin Yue couldn''t help licking his lips and swallowing his saliva. Oscar didn''t notice this erotic and seductive action. Qin Yue finally suppressed his restless heart and suddenly calmed down. He adjusted his glasses and said to Oscar carefully: "Have you...have you ever thought about one thing?"


    Oscar asked doubtfully: "What is it?"


    Qin Yue''s hands trembled a little, pointing to the formula and said: "These formulas are amazing, and the concepts introduced in them may cause a sensation in the academic world. The limelight you have been in for a while is enough to arouse the jealousy of countless warlocks. If you stir up another storm, plus what happened in Baisong Town recently, I''m afraid it will... Besides, you said you have many formulas, I''m afraid there will be trouble in the future!"


    Oscar''s eyebrows were slightly frowned. What should he do?


    These are the low-level formulas Oscar came up with after careful consideration!


    Money is really needed now!


    Qin Yue continued, "It''s okay to cause jealousy, but the problem is that there are many demons on the mainland now. Those demons have special abilities. If you reveal too much knowledge, it will cause demons to covet you. With your strength, I''m afraid..." Oscar thought safety was the first priority, and immediately said, "Forget it, I''ll think about it!" "No, no!" Qin Yue quickly dissuaded him and suggested, "Since you are willing to do production but don''t want to do sales, I suggest setting up a studio!" "Studio?" Qin Yue nodded and said, "The studio has two major advantages. The first is to distract attention. If the formula is released in the name of the studio, most media will pay attention to the studio. Even if they know that you are the inventor, the attention will be reduced to a certain extent. In addition, we only do research and development, provide formulas, and extract surplus shares. The studio is more conducive to management and profitability than individuals. For example..." "Okay, okay..." Oscar was not interested in business, "Then you do it!" Qin Yue suddenly became excited, "Really?" "I just want money, please gather a sum of money as soon as possible!" "Okay, okay, okay!" Qin Yue shouted three times, jumping up excitedly, her chest surging, causing Oscar to look at her more. She didn''t notice, but just patted her chest and said, "Don''t worry, I, Qin Yue, will never let you down!"


    Qin Yue didn''t have her usual steady image, and she left like a child who got a lollipop.


    Qin Yue ran to the Chamber of Commerce and applied for studio registration.


    [Studio name]: Yunyue Studio!


    [Registrant]: Qin Yue!


    [Registration time]: February 30, 1004!


    [Studio nature]: Warlock Studio, mainly engaged in the research and development of spells and potions!


    [Registered capital]...


    Qin Yue successfully registered the studio.


    On the studio name.


    Qin Yue shamelessly wrote "Yunyue" as the studio name. This took the names of Oscar and Qin Yue respectively, and people who didn''t know thought that the two had some kind of special relationship.


    "I won''t suffer any loss!"


    "I''ve taken the first step, and you won''t be able to get rid of me in the future! Hahaha!"


    Qin Yue successfully upgraded from a follower to an assistant and secretary, and she immediately felt that she had successfully upgraded!


    Being Oscar''s assistant.


    The beautiful Qin was very proud!


    Qin Yue paid the registration fee and prepared to go to the Art Alliance to handle the formalities, because it was a commercial studio engaged in art and medicine research. Although it was handled in the Chamber of Commerce, it needed to be approved by the Art Alliance and the Medicine Alliance, so that it would be legal.


    "Wait!" Qin Yue hummed a little song and was about to leave. The Chamber of Commerce staff hurriedly called her: "Wait, there must be at least three studio members, and you only filled in two!"


    Qin Yue wrote the three words Mu Alice.


    Mu Alice was nominally Oscar''s maid, but in fact she was more like Oscar''s student. She had more opportunities to get close to Oscar than her, and the knowledge she learned might be better than hers. Of course, she was qualified to be a member of the studio.


    The studio was officially established!


    The beautiful Qin was so excited that she couldn''t express it in words. She finally tied herself to Oscar by legal means!


    The studio has been established, so naturally we can''t let Oscar down.


    Now there are several formulas to be developed, and if they are operated well, they will surely bring huge profits. Qin Yue also thought that although Oscar has a good reputation, his strength is not enough. If he sells it directly to a group or enterprise, although he has the opportunity to make more money, it may not be safe.


    Yunyue Studio has a long way to go, and it needs to find a few stable and solid backers and partners. Qin Yue thought again and again and made a decision to first cooperate with the Warlock Guild, the Academy Alliance, the Northland Tower, the Mercenary Guild, the Martial Arts Alliance,... these famous and powerful old warlock forces.


    But who should I choose?


    The Warlock Guild, the Academy Alliance, the Northland Tower... are warlock organizations.


    The Martial Arts Alliance, the Mercenary Guild... are warriors and mercenary organizations.


    These forces have a deep foundation, all have the influence of Tomato, and each has its own merits, so it is really difficult to choose.


    After Qin Yue thought carefully, he suddenly slapped his head, "I''m stupid, why should I choose?"

    Then, let them fight!


    Extract the formula, brave potion, focus potion, anti-fatigue potion, body-hardening pill... Qin Yue wrote down the relevant content and introduction, and spent a few days to organize it. He only provided some formulas, and personally refined a bottle of several potions.


    Finally, send it to Baicheng.


    Each faction sent a copy.


    Qin Yue''s idea is to let the giants compete among themselves. Only with competition can greater benefits be generated, thus maximizing the benefits!

 Chapter 41 Famous in White City

    Baisong Town is still under blockade, but the truth cannot be hidden. When a news media in Baicheng revealed the story of the orcs, it immediately caused an uproar in the city.


    "The northern barbarians are moving again!"


    "Don''t orcs only come during the famine in the cold winter? It''s already spring now!"


    Someone with the news got some inside information: "There is reliable news that there is a traitor in Baisong Town. This time it''s not ordinary orcs, but regular orc troops! It is said to be wolf cavalry!"


    "Orc wolf cavalry? Impossible!"


    "My God, Baisong Town must have been wiped out!"


    "What is the loss of Baisong Town? Are there any survivors? My uncle is still in Baisong Town!"


    The citizens of the city were immediately panicked.


    The wolf cavalry is a very elite orc army, not comparable to ordinary orc famine. The orc army appeared in the marginal area. Does this mean that the war is about to start?


    Orcs often invade southwards, and their motive is famine, especially in winter, when prey is scarce on the plateau and the orcs do not have enough food. If they do not choose to invade humans, they will only starve to death. This is their only choice.


    The concept of wolf cavalry is completely different!


    A tribe with wolf cavalry will definitely not go south to grab food, because a tribe that has the ability to train wolf cavalry will not worry about food. It is unknown how much fresh meat it costs to raise war wolves. If they can afford to raise large war wolves, how can the orcs starve?


    Besides, it is spring now.


    The hibernating animals have all come out, and there is no reason for the orcs to invade for food at this time!


    This incident has attracted widespread attention.


    Panic and anxiety are the catalysts for rumors, and some people with ulterior motives take the opportunity to release false news.


    "The latest news is that Baisong Town has fallen, and the number of wolf cavalry is as high as 3,000!"


    "The number of orc warriors is as high as 30,000, and it is expected to arrive in Baicheng within 10 days!"


    "Seven nearby towns have been completely breached!"


    "Everyone, run for your lives, the largest orc invasion in 30 years is about to begin!"


    True and false news caused a series of chain reactions, weapon prices rose, food prices doubled, entertainment venues were deserted, and concerts and art exhibitions were cancelled. The citizens of the city were in danger, and almost thought that the invasion of orcs was a foregone conclusion.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    In a hotel in Baicheng.


    A blackboard with business plans hung on the wall, and stacks of information were placed on the table.


    Nalan Yan was writing something.


    She has been very busy recently. The scale production of Mingsixiang has been realized and it is expected to be on the market soon. Nalan Yan personally took action, busy advertising everywhere and formulating sales plans all day long, and she looked haggard and thin.


    "Miss, something terrible has happened!" The maid ran into the room in a panic, handed over a newspaper and said, "This is the news that has just been released. Baisong Town has been attacked. The orcs from the north are coming!"


    Nalan Yan was stunned: "What did you say, orcs?"


    "There is a wolf cavalry of several thousand people, plus an evil warlock who can control the army of undead demons. Now the entire Baisong Town has been crushed to the ground! Maybe they will attack Baicheng soon. Miss, please evacuate Baicheng!"


    "Thousands of wolf cavalry?"


    Nalan Yan took a breath of cold air.


    What a concept!


    She thought of a handsome and calm young man and asked hurriedly, "Are there any survivors in Baisong Town?"


    "Survivors, how could there be any survivors? They are Orcs! Orcs are known for their cruelty and terror, and they are terrible guys who eat people alive! There is also an extremely powerful evil warlock helping the Orcs. Baisong Town is a small town, with only a few garrisons? How can they withstand the attack of the wolf cavalry? They must have been massacred by now! The character of the Orcs will not leave a single survivor!"


    Nalan Yan''s face turned pale and she slumped in the chair.


    It''s so scary!


    She was a little trembling!


    Are the Orcs really coming?


    "I will arrange the convoy and start transferring the goods. Miss, please leave!"


    Nalan Yan frowned and calmed down, "What is the official response?"


    "The City Lord''s Mansion has not responded yet." The maid persuaded earnestly: "This kind of thing can''t be groundless. Baisong Town has indeed lost contact for several consecutive days. Even if the rumors are a little exaggerated, the appearance of orcs is definitely true. The wolf cavalry and the undead army are very likely to be true!"This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    Nalan Yan hesitated and said: "This matter is so big, the official will definitely respond. I will wait until the official confirms it is true, and it will not be too late to evacuate."


    There was a feeling of uneasiness in my heart.


    Orcs.


    This word is a shadow that will never go away in the hearts of people in marginal areas.


    It represents destruction, killing, and plunder!


    Nalan Yan is the daughter of a big family. She has been spoiled since childhood and has not experienced hardships. Of course, she is very afraid of the brutal and violent orcs.


    She didn''t want to leave Baicheng. The Xueyan Chamber of Commerce was nominally under the Nalan Group, but it was actually hers. This was just a bet between her and her family.


    Nalan Yan couldn''t develop in a place where her family was strong, otherwise she would definitely be squeezed. Therefore, the business plan was centered around the Silver Snow Region, and Baicheng was the starting point. If it was turbulent and aborted before it started, it would definitely cause a lot of adverse effects.


    In addition.


    Nalan Yan was very worried about Oscar''s situation.


    This young man didn''t have much contact with her, but Nalan Yan was very grateful to him. Without the secret recipe given by Oscar, her Xueyan Chamber of Commerce would still be just an empty shell, and there would be no product to show at all.


    In the afternoon.


    The official finally responded.


    A public press conference was held in the Baicheng Grand Hall to respond to the matter.


    After Nalan Yan got the news, she rushed to the hall as soon as possible. The hall was crowded with people, and everyone wanted to get accurate news.


    The press conference began!


    A beautiful and mature middle-aged woman in a black suit came out. She was dignified and serious. She was Liu Qian, the spokesperson and chief diplomat of the City Lord''s Mansion. Generally, she would speak in person only when something important happened.


    Liu Qian came on stage but had not yet spoken.


    Someone stood up and asked, "Does the Orc army exist?"


    As the chief diplomat of Baicheng, Liu Qian not only looked steady, but also had a calm and magnetic voice. She said, "The outpost did send an urgent telegram and found the traces of the Orcs heading south."


    "Is the attack on Baisong Town true?"


    "True!"


    "Does the evil warlock thing exist?"


    "Yes!"


    Liu Qian''s answer caused an uproar.


    Nalan Yan''s face turned pale.


    It''s over!


    He''s dead!


    "What about the situation in Baisong Town..."


    A newspaper reporter stood up and asked, her voice was trembling, as if she had guessed the result and couldn''t bear to ask. Baisong Town must be a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood now.


    There are orc armies.


    Evil sorcerers also exist.


    Baisong Town is isolated and helpless, how can it be immortal?


    "Because the incident happened suddenly, there was no time for rescue. We are mentally prepared to face the worst case scenario, and we have formulated an emergency plan."


    Liu Qian spoke in a steady and magnetic voice, word by word.


    Everyone''s heart sank a little bit.


    "But." Liu Qian suddenly changed her tone and said, "At 7:45 this morning, Baisong Town, which had lost contact for two days and two nights, suddenly successfully sent a telegram to explain the details of the incident. The Du family of Baisong Town was in danger of colluding with the orcs and cooperating with the evil wizard to launch a conspiracy to seize the town the night before yesterday. However, this conspiracy ended in failure!"


    What?


    Baisong Town did not fall?


    Everyone felt relieved.


    At the same time, they were a little bit unconvinced.


    Could it be that Baicheng deliberately concealed the situation?


    Someone immediately asked, "What is the loss in Baisong Town?"


    Liu Qian replied, "At the critical moment, Oscar, the warlock in Baisong Town, used a magic circle to restrain zombies, lured and eliminated all the zombies. When the orcs arrived, the town had restored order and the attack plan was forced to be cancelled. Therefore, the loss of personnel and property was extremely small, even negligible!"


    Everyone was shocked.


    Oscar?


    This name is so familiar!


    Nalan Yan shouted excitedly: "Oscar! Oscar, the newcomer king!"


    Everyone suddenly realized!


    No wonder it sounds familiar, it turns out that it is the genius warlock who caused an uproar with a light energy paper not long ago and won the newcomer king.


    This apprentice...


    Create a miracle again!


    Liu Qian continued to announce into the microphone: "On behalf of the City Lord''s Mansion, I announce that most of the news spread in the city is rumors. Some grain merchants and arms dealers deliberately spread false propaganda to achieve personal interests. In response, the City Lord''s Mansion has set up a special investigation team. Anyone who spreads rumors will be severely punished. The City Lord hopes that all media representatives present here will have the ability to calmly distinguish right from wrong and not follow the crowd. Otherwise, it will cause adverse negative effects and the law enforcement team will hold them accountable..."


    Next, there was a long speech full of official language.


    Mainly talked about three points.


    First, increase the scale of conscription, strengthen the army of nearby villages and towns, and strengthen the level of marginal military defense.


    Second, increase the military budget, purchase heavy equipment on a large scale, and enhance the defense of towns.


    Third, praise the individuals and groups who made contributions to the incident, especially the contributions of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries, and affirm Oscar personally, and report to Snow City. Regarding the traitorous Du family, Baicheng will give Oscar and the Snow Wolf mercenaries full power to search their houses. All the items found will belong to Oscar and the Snow Wolf mercenaries as rewards.


    The first two points are to appease the people, and the third point is to affirm the contributions of the Snow Wolf mercenaries and Oscar.


    The officials of Baicheng highly praised Oscar!


    Oscar''s status has greatly increased again!


    The media has found a new topic.


    In the next two days, Oscar''s name once again made the headlines of various newspapers and magazines.


    The headline of Baicheng Daily: "Exclusive insider information of Baisong Town incident - this is a duel between two generations of new kings. In the end, good prevailed over evil. Oscar miraculously won in a completely unequal battle!"


    The cover of Five Elements Weekly: "According to the participating warlocks, Oscar used a light energy array in Baisong Town. Oscar published a research report on light energy and won the honor of new king, but obviously, his research on light energy is not limited to this. The Academy Alliance is in contact with Oscar, hoping to provide more research results on light energy."


    At the press conference of the Warlock Alliance, the spokesperson of the Warlock Alliance declared: "The identity of the evil warlock has been confirmed. It is Liu Rufeng, the new king of 984, who manipulates zombie spells. It is suspected to be a kind of dead magic spell..."


    "Major warlock organizations have been trying to study and control dead demons, investing a lot of money. Some organizations have achieved preliminary results, but no one is willing to publish their research results. Oscar defeated Liu Rufeng, and it is very likely that he has obtained Liu Rufeng''s research..."


    The spokesperson of the Warlock Alliance publicly stated: "I hope Oscar can publish valuable research information and jointly promote the development and prosperity of the art..."


    Dead magic spell!


    Zombie production!


    These two keywords became the focus of high-level sorcerers!


    Oscar may get Liu Rufeng''s knowledge!


    Countless people with a keen sense of smell suddenly felt differently!


    Politicians and military strategists felt that this was a powerful military technology, if zombie production could be widely used in the military.


    Businessmen felt that this was a huge business opportunity, zombies could replace labor, heavy work, hard work, all of which could be replaced. They don''t need to eat, don''t complain, don''t get tired, they are simply perfect and cheap machines.


    Of course.


    Some organizations and religions openly jumped out to criticize, believing that zombie production was an evil spell, who could guarantee that there would not be more Liu Rufeng on the road?


    This is an element that causes anxiety, it should be severely suppressed, and research is prohibited.


    Undoubtedly.


    Oscar became famous again.

 Chapter 42 New Mayor

    About three hours after the White City press conference ended, the news was sent to the town by telegram.


    Oscar took the mercenaries to search the house.


    The Du family is a local tyrant with a lot of assets, money, equipment, and supplies. Oscar got official permission, and the proceeds from the search did not need to be handed over or taxed, all of which belonged to him and the mercenary group.


    It was undoubtedly a good job, equivalent to a disguised reward.


    This money can temporarily alleviate the urgent need.


    The Du family is a family that made its fortune by opening casinos and brothels, and finally established a warrior organization. There are many maids and servants, more than 150 of them, of which more than two-thirds are beautiful maids.


    Now they are all kneeling in a row and trembling.


    Duan''s incident was exposed, and the participants and relatives would definitely not escape death, and they have all been executed. Although these female family members and servants have not been executed for the time being, they are still related and are likely to be implicated. The best result is to be exiled as slaves, and the lowest level of slaves.


    "Give each of them 2 silver coins as travel expenses, and let them go back to their hometowns."


    Servants are also considered a kind of property. As Oscar is a legal confiscator, they are considered Oscar''s personal property. Even if Oscar himself does not need them, the maids and concubines can be sold to brothels, and the male slaves and servants can be made slaves, which can also be exchanged for a large sum of money.


    He not only dismissed them, but also gave them travel expenses.


    "Thank you, sir!"


    "Thank you, sir!"


    More than a hundred people were grateful and kowtowed to thank them.


    The mercenary cried out in his heart that it was a pity, and those women were all good-looking. Although Oscar had a cute and beautiful maid, Little Alice, and a beautiful and charming Qin Yue, but as a man, how could he have so many women?


    If it were One-Eye, he would definitely curse.


    Ordinary mercenaries would not dare.


    Qin Yue looked at Oscar with new eyes and couldn''t help saying, "You are so generous!"


    "Of course." Oscar said to Alice next to him, "Do you think it''s right to do this?"


    "As long as it''s what the young master does, it''s all right!"


    "This flattery is a bit too obvious!"


    Alice giggled, her eyes curved into a cute crescent shape. She was very happy in her heart. When she saw a lot of maids and concubines just now, she was worried that someone would take away her job, but now all her worries are gone.


    The young master will be taken care of by me!


    Oscar said to the mercenaries, "Start working!"


    Fifteen mercenaries moved for a whole half day and moved out everything they found!


    There were more than thirty treasure chests in a yard, plus a lot of high-quality leather, materials, etc. Some treasure chests were opened, full of silver or copper coins, shining and dazzling.


    "Wow, so much money!" Mu Alice rubbed her eyes hard and said with a smile, "Alice''s eyes are dazzled."


    Oscar said: "Don''t look at the large number, in fact, most of them are copper coins, and there is not much in total."


    Qin Yue wrote something on the paper, pushed the glasses on his high nose bridge and said: "Now we have found 28211 mithril coins, plus about 2.28 million fire copper coins, a total of more than 30 gold coins."


    Oscar thought it was too little.


    A few days before the implementation of the plan, Duan secretly transferred part of the assets to prevent accidents. That money is difficult to recover. Even so, this money is a considerable amount of liquid cash for a small town family!


    "Keep searching!"


    "Yes!"


    The mercenaries searched the other houses of the Du family and found a large number of pearls, gems, weapons, calligraphy and paintings, artworks, etc. They are all valuable things. If they are sold, they will definitely be worth more than cash.


    "Duan''s fixed assets have been checked." A mercenary ran over and said, "In addition to several mansions, there are three gambling houses, two brothels, a herbal medicine shop, an arms shop, a printing factory, and dozens of acres of magic fields outside the town."


    Alice''s beautiful eyes widened.


    Oscar glanced at her: "Do you think it''s a lot?"


    "Isn''t it still a lot?" Alice nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice, "Alice can''t spend it all in a hundred lifetimes!"


    Baisong Town is not a prosperous area, but in total, it is worth at least a few hundred gold coins.


    "You are useless, what''s this little money." Oscar scolded Alice, and then said to her: "Now, these things are all ours, take whatever you like."


    "What about the mercenary uncle?"


    Oscar glanced at the mercenary next to him.


    "We don''t want it!"


    "They are all Oscar''s!"


    The mercenary is sensible!


    Oscar laughed twice and patted the mercenary''s shoulder hard: "I won''t eat alone. The Du family casino and brothel are given to you to run."


    The mercenary said ecstatically: "Great."


    Oscar said to Alice again: "Mercenaries will not suffer losses. Everything that can be taken away belongs to us. Whatever you like, go and pick it!"Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.


    Alice did not shirk and immediately walked to the middle of the treasure chest. An exquisite bracelet caught her attention. It was made of top-grade jade. There was an identical style in the jewelry store, which was about 80 Mithril coins.


    This is too expensive.


    It''s better not to take it!


    Alice thought silently in her heart: The young master is very rich now, but he can''t waste it. I am just a little maid, there is no need to dress too well.


    She reluctantly put the jade bracelet back, picked a jade bracelet that could be bought for 2 silver coins, put it on her snow-white arm, and smiled happily. Alice also found a beautiful coat, inlaid with fine gems, shining, really beautiful.


    How much is this dress worth?


    It must be very expensive, forget it!


    Alice is like a beautiful butterfly. If beautiful jewelry is placed in front of Alice, it will be eclipsed and far less than one tenth of her.


    What a lovely girl.


    Why does fate like to play tricks on people?


    The son of death descended on her.


    "Alice, don''t be picky." Oscar couldn''t stand it anymore, and pointed at several mercenaries and said, "You move the things to Alice''s room."


    Alice was shocked: "I don''t need so much."


    Oscar will not take back what he gives away. No matter how Alice shirks, it''s useless. In the end, several mercenaries packed hundreds of jewelry, beautiful vases, sculptures and other artworks into four large boxes and carried them directly out of the yard.


    Alice was happy and distressed. The young master was too wasteful!


    She is just a maid, how can she spend so much money!


    "We found this."


    When Oscar wanted to leave, a mercenary ran over, holding a delicate box.


    "What is this?"


    "A gun!"


    Oscar opened the box, and a shiny black pistol lay inside.


    "It looks good!"


    Oscar weighed it, and the gun body was a bit heavy. It was not made of ordinary steel. It was probably a little bigger than a palm. It was a precision musket with a semi-automatic revolver structure. He gently put out the cylinder and had four bullet holes.


    "Did you find any bullets?"


    "Yes!"


    The mercenary took out more than a hundred bullets, each of which was as thick as a little finger and looked very thick and long. Oscar opened a bullet, which had a honeycomb structure. The front half was dense steel needles, and the back half was a gunpowder structure.


    This kind of bullet will cause flake damage when fired, and the destructive power is very large if the distance is close.


    The value of this gun must be not low. With such a precise structure, the contemporary half-baked production level cannot achieve mass production at all, and it may not be bought even if you have money.


    Oscar accepted it without hesitation.


    "Okay."


    "Let''s call it a day!"


    Every mercenary who came to help was rewarded with dozens of silver coins. This surprised the mercenaries. Oscar rewarded them with a reward equivalent to a whole month''s work for just moving things. He was really generous. It was right to follow him.


    With money.


    Oscar began to collect materials for corpse witches.


    The production of corpse witches is very complicated. It requires 24 materials, about 7 refining formulas, 3 magic arrays, and 1 spell. These are not difficult. The most troublesome thing is a level 3 beast crystal.


    Beast crystals are extremely expensive.


    It is very difficult to hunt level 3 monsters. In addition, the probability of monsters producing beast crystals is very low. Good beast crystals may not be bought with money. A level 3 beast crystal can often be auctioned at a sky-high price.


    No matter how much Oscar collects money, it will not exceed 100 gold coins. Don''t even think about buying level 3 beast crystals for the time being.


    You can only collect other materials first. The problem of money is not difficult to solve. Whether it is a formula or a spell, as long as Oscar wants to sell it, it is too easy to change it for money.


    When you have money, buy beast crystals.


    Oscar asked: "How is the studio?"


    Qin Yue quickly replied: "No problem, I will sell the formula in two days."


    "By the way, ask about something."


    "What do you want?"


    "Demon crystals!"


    "Ah?"


    Qin Yue opened his mouth. Now demons are everywhere. There are rumors of demons in many places, but there are not many people who have the ability to kill demons. Demon crystals are several times more expensive than beast crystals, and they are difficult to buy.


    Although the best corpse wizard is demon crystals, if you really can''t find it, there is nothing you can do.


    "If you can''t find it, you can have a level 3 beast crystal."


    Qin Yue frowned, "That''s also very expensive!"


    "Money is not a problem."


    "That''s right!"


    Qin Yue is responsible for operating formulas and spells. He will make huge profits soon. Money will always solve the problem.


    Oscar observed for several days and found that Qin Yue was a magic fanatic, but her character was very good, and her personality was quite similar to his. In addition, she had excellent talents, and if she was well trained, she would still become a good assistant.


    "Pa pa pa..."


    A burst of firecrackers rang out on the streets of the town.


    Who is setting off firecrackers?


    This period of time is not a good day for Baisong Town, especially the bloodbath in Xueyang Village, which has cast a shadow on many people. Which idiot would actually set off firecrackers at this time?


    "The new mayor is here!"


    "The new mayor is here!"


    Oscar was stunned and pushed the door open.


    Fifty cavalrymen, holding lances and riding war horses, were clearing the way and walking into the town from the south gate. The infantry formation was neat and tidy, wearing black wooden armor, large shields and long spears, and well-equipped. This is a well-trained elite army.


    The new mayor took office!


    Bringing an army to Baisong Town!


    A cavalry captain, about 30 years old, rode in front of the team, holding a trumpet in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers of Baisong Town! Lord Wei Nan is the new mayor appointed by the city lord himself! We brought 800 elite soldiers, 6 crossbows, 20 boxes of explosives, and 30,000 arrows to comprehensively enhance the defense of Baisong Town. We will definitely ensure that everyone will not be harmed by the orcs!"


    "Great!"


    "We are safe!"


    The townspeople cheered.


    The arrival of the new mayor greatly enhanced the defense of Baisong Town, which undoubtedly gave everyone a reassurance.


    "Have you heard about it?"


    "The new mayor, Wei Nan, once served in the army of Baicheng and served as the battalion commander of the military battalion!"


    "Then he is a powerful sorcerer!"


    "Wei Nan not only has a magic power of 21 rings, but is kind and has an excellent reputation. He is a good person!"


    "He was born in poverty and stayed in the apprentice realm for twelve years. In the end, he became a late bloomer and became a 21-ring sorcerer!"


    "Bai Song Town is blessed!"


    Wei Nan is a sorcerer who is proficient in five elements magic.


    He is famous in Baicheng.


    This is an inspirational person with mediocre talent, but extremely hardworking, and finally achieved success.


    A sorcerer is a symbol of knowledge and noble status. A famous sorcerer at the level of a sorcerer as the mayor is always more reassuring than a rude warrior. What''s more, Wei Nan is not only famous in the world of magic, but also respected in the military and political circles.


    In addition, he was born in poverty and knows how to be considerate of the people.


    How could the townspeople not be enthusiastic about such a person succeeding as the mayor?


    When Wei Nanfeng returned to his residence in glory, he immediately sent a guard to the door: "Sir Oscar, the mayor wants to see you!"


    "Got it."


    Oscar guessed that Wei Nan would meet him, and he also wanted to meet the new mayor.


    Oscar immediately came to the mayor''s house with his mercenary followers.


    Mayor Wei Nan had been waiting in the study for a long time. He was a middle-aged man about 40 years old, slightly fat, although his eyes were a little small, he was born with a smiling face and had an approachable feeling.


    A man in armor, with a sword hanging on his head, stood next to him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tall stature. He was the cavalry captain who had just called out. At this moment, he was holding a document in his hand, frowning, thinking about something.


    Oscar walked over and said politely, "Meet the mayor!"


    "Ah, you are Oscar?" Wei Nan''s eyes widened immediately, and he stood up and said, "I have heard of your name in Baicheng for a long time, and everyone in Baisong Town is full of praise for you. It is true that heroes come from young people! Heroes come from young people! Please sit down! Please sit down!"


    This Wei Nan was not arrogant at all, and Oscar was a little surprised by his enthusiasm.


    The maid brought a cup of hot tea.


    Wei Nan took it personally and brought it to Oscar.


    Oscar said quickly: "No need to do that."


    Wei Nan waved his hand casually: "You and I both have the Black Iron Noble Medal, so our status is equal. Besides, in the world of magic, only knowledge is important, regardless of nobility or inferiority."


    Wei Nan said sincerely: "Brother, you are quick-witted and captured the law of light energy, and won the trophy of the Rookie King. In this regard, Wei Nan can only sigh that he is not as good as him."


    Oscar frowned slightly, "Mayor, you can just say what you want to say."


    "This..." Wei Nan blushed, rubbed his hands, and said expectantly; "I heard that Liu Rufeng''s notes are in your hands. I have done some research on things like dead demons and monsters, and I am very interested. Can you lend it to me to read?"

 Chapter 43 Chairman

    Wei Nan is a 22nd ring magician, more than ten levels higher than Oscar. However, Liu Rufeng''s research notes are too precious, and even great magicians will covet them, so Wei Nan certainly wants them.


    Oscar flatly refused and said, "I''m very sorry, this set of spells has flaws. I want to perfect the spells by myself and don''t want to publish them for the time being."


    Wei Nan frowned and showed regret.


    Perhaps he felt that it was a bit abrupt to ask for precious notes directly, so he didn''t ask again.


    The cavalry captain walked over and said, "Mr. Mayor."


    "What''s the matter?" Wei Nan introduced to Oscar, "I almost forgot to introduce you, this person is called Cheng Wu, the commander of the first battalion of the [Black Armor Army]. Now is an extraordinary period, so he led the first battalion to garrison Baisong Town to protect the safety of Baisong Town."


    Oscar took a few glances. This person is tall and handsome, about 30 years old, and his martial arts skills are probably not weak.


    Cheng Wu is an officer of Baicheng, and his military position is not low.


    The environment in the Silver Snow Region is cold, and it is not suitable to wear metal armor. There is a forest of black iron trees near Baicheng. The wood is as hard as rock, inexpensive and very light. It has excellent Qi transmission effect and is very suitable for warriors to wear. Therefore, it is adopted as military armor.


    The regular army of Baicheng generally wears black iron wood armor. Because the armor is black, it is called the [Black Armor Army].


    Cheng Wu slapped the information on the table and said indignantly: "More than 800 people were massacred in Xueyang Village, southwest of Baisong Town. Baisong Town kept it secret and violated the rules!"


    Wei Nan was shocked: "Is this true?"


    Cheng Wu was indignant: "Hiding such an important matter, neglecting his duties, and evading responsibility must not be forgiven lightly, and he should be dismissed!"


    Wei Nan frowned and asked: "Oscar. Do you know about this?"


    Oscar took a sip of hot tea and replied calmly: "Of course, because I concealed the news."


    "Ah, why is this?"


    "The news of the attack on Baisong Town had just been sent to Baicheng. There must be rumors in the city. If the news of the villagers being massacred was released at this time, wouldn''t it increase the panic? I took the initiative to conceal the news temporarily."


    Wei Nan nodded: "It is reasonable to do so. You don''t have a position, so there is no evasion of responsibility."


    "Who gave you the right!" Cheng Wu slammed the table and said with wide eyes: "A total of 800 innocent souls! You are irresponsible to the people! You are a noble, but that doesn''t mean you can despise life!"


    Cheng Wu has a straightforward personality and is a hot-tempered person!


    This kind of straightforward and ruthless personality is very easy to offend people.


    "This is wrong. In extraordinary times, we should seek stability and not breed trouble!" Oscar said calmly, "If it is announced, we can''t beat the wolf cavalry, which will only increase panic and do nothing."


    Cheng Wu was very unhappy when he heard this: "Do you think our army is not as good as the orcs?"


    Isn''t this the truth?


    Oscar asked curiously: "Captain Cheng Wu, have you seen orcs?"


    Cheng Wu chose to join the army in Baicheng because he dreamed that one day he would fight on the front line, fight against orcs, and make achievements. Although it has been a dream for many years, Baicheng has not been attacked in the past few years. The attacks were all on small villages and towns. He had no chance to fight against the orcs.


    Now he finally got the chance and became the garrison commander of Baisong Town. Naturally, he was eager to fight.


    Cheng Wu felt that his military dignity was insulted, and immediately said with a thorn in his words: "Everyone said that Oscar from Baisong Town was so great, but today I saw that he was just a poor guy who was scared by the orcs!"


    The mercenaries were unhappy.


    One of the mercenaries cursed on the spot: "Has this guy eaten dog shit? Why is his mouth so stinky!"


    Cheng Wu said angrily, "You are looking for death!"


    "Who will die is still uncertain!"


    The mercenaries confronted each other.


    Both sides were full of gunpowder.


    Without the one-eyed man, the mercenaries could not get any advantage. Oscar saw that Cheng Wu was a master, and the black armored army under his command was not vegetarian.


    Oscar and Wei Nan hurried to stop him.


    "We are irreconcilable with the orcs, how can we suffer such a big loss? I will lead the team to fight and make the orcs pay with blood. If we fail, we will be punished by military law!" Cheng Wu ignored Oscar directly, turned around and said to the two senior officers of Baisong Town: "Immediately lead your troops to meet the Black Armor Army and leave the city!"


    The two officers looked at each other and said nothing.


    Silence!


    Choose silence!


    This is a silent protest!


    Cheng Wu''s face flushed, veins bulged, and he said angrily, "I am the highest defender of Baisong Town, do you want to disobey orders?"


    The officer of Baisong Town still said nothing.


    Wei Nan also frowned, and the officer chose to stand on Oscar''s side. Oscar''s influence was so profound!A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    Of course, these people are not like Cheng Wu, who has only a heart of blood. They have witnessed the wolf cavalry and witnessed Geer''s strength. They know that Oscar is right. With the city defense, there is still a chance of winning. Fighting the wolf cavalry in the wild... is to die!


    Wei Nan cleared his throat and said, "Okay, Cheng Wu, don''t act on impulse."


    Cheng Wu was startled and said unwillingly, "Mr. Mayor, I have to send troops!"


    "Nonsense!"


    Wei Nan suddenly became dignified, which dampened Cheng Wu''s momentum.


    "Mr. Mayor..."


    "You said it!" Wei Nan sighed, and then returned to his original state, saying slowly, "Oscar dared to cross dozens of levels and fight against Liu Rufeng, who is a great magician. I am ashamed of my courage and spirit. So please don''t say that again."


    Cheng Wu was very unhappy.


    "Cheng Wu, it''s time to change your hot temper. I understand your eagerness to fight. Sooner or later, we will fight to the death with the orcs, but now is not the time!" Wei Nan persuaded him earnestly,


    "The town has limited military strength, and our mission is to defend, not to attack. If we rashly send troops, regardless of the outcome, Baisong Town will definitely be empty, and the orcs will have an opportunity to take advantage.


    This is inconsistent with our original intention. The orcs are endless, and we just need to hold the defense line, so there is no need to say more.


    Oscar felt that it was boring to stay any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye: "Mr. Mayor, I have something else to do, so I''ll leave first."


    "I''ll see you off."


    Wei Nan sent Oscar to the door.


    "I hope you don''t suggest too much. Cheng Wu is not bad by nature, but too radical."


    "Why is that? "


    "Cheng Wu was born in a village and was once attacked by Orcs. His parents died at the hands of Orcs, and Orcs also ate him.


    He hid in a cellar and saved his life. Soon he was adopted and enrolled in the military academy in Snow City. He learned a lot of martial arts and took the initiative to join the army in White City to fight Orcs. He hated Orcs, so he was more radical than ordinary people. "


    So that''s it.


    That''s understandable.


    Oscar is a generous person. He didn''t take it to heart and left with two mercenaries.


    Wei Nan watched Oscar leave, thinking about something, and walked into the house a few seconds later.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Oscar walked to the door.


    A mercenary said angrily: "That shitty battalion commander is so arrogant. Does he really think that Snow Wolf mercenaries are easy to mess with?"


    Another mercenary nodded and said: "Boss Oscar, we can''t suffer losses. We must teach him a lesson! ¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t make trouble, understand?¡± Oscar said to the mercenary: ¡°I can see that Wei Nan is not Wang Jian, he won¡¯t let you do whatever you want.¡±


    ¡°The new mayor looks very kind! He should have a better temper than Wang Jian!¡±


    ¡°Cheng Wu speaks and acts directly, this kind of person is not dangerous.¡± Oscar recalled Wei Nan¡¯s expression and eyes, especially the aura at that moment, and always felt that something was wrong:


    ¡°On the contrary, Wei Nan gave me a different feeling. Strong things are easy to break, some things are soft and deceptive on the surface, but they are actually needles hidden in cotton, so they are more deadly!¡±


    The mercenaries looked at each other.


    ¡°What should we do?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t make trouble, let the intelligence personnel in the group check it out, I want to understand the mayor, I want his detailed information.¡±


    ¡°Okay! "


    Wang Jian has been the mayor for more than ten years. The Snow Wolf Mercenaries acted as they pleased and were almost reckless, almost riding on Wang Jian''s head. Wei Nan is not Wang Jian, and he will not allow a force that can restrain him in his territory. Oscar''s reputation is too high. Now even the defenders listen to Oscar. Wei Nan is a magician-level magician. How could he be a softie like Wang Jian?


    Oscar has a little reputation, which is soft power. Everything ultimately depends on strength. Oscar feels that he should improve his strength as soon as possible and get rid of his apprentice status.


    Oscar returned home.


    Alice was a little better, and Qin Yue and Oscar had dinner together.


    Oscar took a sip of beef bone soup and couldn''t help but praise: "Alice''s cooking skills have improved again."


    Alice quickly said: "Today''s dinner was made by Sister Qin Yue and Alice. "


    Oscar was a little surprised.


    Qin Yue spent all her time practicing all day long. She was much more diligent than herself and actually had time to cook dinner with Alice. Qin Yue was a little embarrassed by what Alice said. How could she cook? She made a lot of trouble today.


    But it feels so good!


    Qin Yue can learn from Oscar, discuss with Alice when she has nothing to do, and start to build a studio and have her own career.


    This kind of life is not bad!


    Oscar is a good-tempered person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. Alice is innocent and simple without any schemes. Qin Yue thinks that it is a happy thing to get along with the two of them. It would be great if they could live together forever.


    But... Qin Yue thought of his father in Baicheng.


    The family spent a lot of effort to arrange Qin Yue to be a lecturer at Dabaicheng College, but Qin Yue left without saying goodbye, without leaving a note, and disappeared for more than a week.


    Now the family must be in turmoil!


    My father must be very angry!


    Qin Yue is a little distressed... What should I do?


    Keep it secret from him first.


    When I have done something and achieved something, I will definitely scare him.


    After dinner, Oscar went to the meditation room to practice immediately. Qin Yue sent the letter out, and it is expected that it will soon reach the hands of several leaders of major forces.


    For a few days, Baisong Town was calm and nothing major happened.


    Oscar stayed indoors all day long, and in 5 days, he suddenly achieved results, from a 9th ring warlock to a 10th ring.


    One level away.


    Only one level away.


    Oscar will get rid of his apprentice status and become a warlock, and his social status will be greatly improved.


    From the 10th ring to the 11th ring, it is a bottleneck stage, and the difficulty is higher than the 1st to 10th rings combined. As a person who has become a divine magician, Oscar does not have a bottleneck.


    However, the development of anything always requires preparation and cannot be achieved overnight. Now that it has just broken through the 10th ring, it needs some accumulation, and then build the 11th mana spiral arm, so that the power will be stable.


    With Oscar''s personal guidance, the two girls are progressing very fast.


    Alice Mu began to build a magic vortex. Currently, she didn''t have a single spiral arm, so she could only be considered a 0-ring warlock, at least she had stepped into the door of warlock.


    Qin Yue had not made any progress in the previous six months. After Oscar''s guidance, she corrected some wrong cultivation and meditation methods, and immediately made a breakthrough and became a 17-ring warlock.


    She was ecstatic and grateful for Oscar''s help. In addition to cultivation, she put all her thoughts on the studio, and several recipes had been sent to Baicheng.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    This day.


    In the headquarters of the Baicheng Warlock Guild.


    After Zhao Pu of the Academy Alliance played a trick, the performance of the Warlock Guild declined significantly, and its income and reputation weakened a lot. The sales of "Warlock Weekly" decreased, and several outstanding warlocks were poached by the Academy Alliance.


    The Warlock Guild hated Zhao Pu.


    Oscar had a huge impact on the magic world, especially the discovery of the basic law of light energy, and chose the Academy Alliance channel to announce it, which made the Academy Alliance proud.


    Weng Lianhai is the chairman of the White City Warlock Guild. He is 1.85 meters tall, quite tall, with wrinkles all over his face, but he looks very kind. He is a great warlock with 40 rings of magic power!


    Among the two or three million people in White City, only Gu Boyun, the dean of White City in the Academy Alliance, can be compared with him in strength. He is highly respected and famous in the whole region.


    Weng Lianhai was originally in a semi-retired state and was no longer in charge of things. Since the last incident, he had to come out in person and start to stabilize the situation at the front line. This series of measures and activities finally stabilized the Warlock Guild.


    That little apprentice is a bit interesting.


    He has become famous again in the past two days.


    It is said that he defeated a great warlock.


    Weng Lianhai himself is a great warlock, so he knows the strength of the great warlock realm. Is it really possible for an apprentice to defeat a great warlock? If you have a chance, you must go to see this interesting little guy.


    "Chairman!"


    "Chairman!"


    The door was pushed open, and a sorcerer in his fifties or sixties stumbled in.


    Weng Lianhai frowned: "You are so flustered, how can you be so rude?"


    The sorcerer put a large letter in front of Weng Lianhai: "Take a look at this."


    Weng Lianhai glanced at the sender, it was a studio.


    Yunyue Studio?


    Never heard of it.


    "This studio belongs to Oscar."


    "Oh, really?"


    Weng Lianhai opened the letter, took out a small stack of information from it and read it. After reading a few documents, his eyes widened, his whole body trembled, and he stood up immediately.


    "Chairman, where are you going?"


    "Stop talking, I''m going to Baisong Town!"


    "Chairman! Chairman!"


    Weng Lianhai ignored him, leaving only his back.

 Chapter 44 Finding Trouble

    In March, spring gradually returned to the earth.


    A team of carriages appeared outside Baisong Town. They were well-equipped and accompanied by dozens of cavalrymen.


    The soldiers were very sensitive to the unknown armed personnel in extraordinary times. They immediately closed the city gates, and all the soldiers were on alert to stop the team.


    "Who are you?"


    At this time, a tall, slightly bloated, and sleek middle-aged man came out of the carriage, wearing a luxurious and expensive robe, handed over a certificate, and then shouted, "I am Qin Zhongning of Baicheng, open the door quickly!"


    Qin Zhong, the largest material merchant in Baicheng?


    This is a business tycoon worth tens of thousands of gold!


    The captain of the soldiers pointed to another person in the car and said, "Who is this?"


    "Don''t these guys have eyes? I am Mu Xuan from the Mu family in Baicheng!"


    A handsome young man stood up, with a handsome figure, wearing a long robe, holding a staff inlaid with green crystals, obviously rich or noble.


    It''s just that his expression is arrogant and proud, which somewhat damages the overall image.


    Mu Xuan is one of the most famous geniuses in Baicheng!


    "Are you from the Mu family?"


    "Nonsense!"


    The soldiers looked at each other, nodded to each other and said, "Please come in."


    The Mu family''s status in Baicheng is second only to the Lan family. Mu Xuan is one of the most famous geniuses in the Mu family. He became a 21-ring magician at the age of 28. He has the hope of breaking through to the 31st ring at the age of 40 and becoming a great magician admired by everyone.


    The most important thing is.


    Mu Xuan is Oscar''s brother.


    The team slowly entered the city.


    "Uncle Qin, Xiaoyue is too willful. The northern barbarians are constantly making moves, and Baisong Town is very unsafe."


    Mu Xuan said to Qin Zhongning in the carriage: "If I hadn''t suppressed the matter, she might have been expelled from the teaching team of the college."


    Qin Zhongning''s face was full of anger, "Blame me, I spoiled her too much, I must teach her a lesson this time!"


    Mu Xuan continued to exaggerate: "She founded [Yunyue Studio] in Baisong Town, and one of the members is Oscar."


    Speaking of this, a hint of strong jealousy flashed in his eyes, "What is their relationship?"


    Qin Zhongning''s forehead was sweating.


    "This bastard who can''t enter the family tree, the family''s seniors have long been dissatisfied with him." Mu Xuan revealed the family''s attitude implicitly, and said coldly: "Xiao Yue secretly ran to Baisong Town, wouldn''t it be for him?"


    "Impossible, they don''t know each other at all, Qin Yue is not a messy person." Qin Zhongning''s fists were clattering, and his eyes were about to burst into fire, "Please rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory explanation."


    "I hope so."


    Mu Xuan is one of Qin Yue''s suitors. He is a direct descendant of the Mu family. He has considerable attainments in wood magic and is currently serving as the head teacher of the wood department at Baicheng College.


    Mu Xuan is young and promising, with great potential, and has the opportunity to become the helmsman of the Mu family.


    Regardless of the interests of the family, personal interests, and the future of his daughter, Qin Zhongning hopes to marry his daughter to Mu Xuan.


    The Qin family''s business has been taken care of by the Mu family over the past year, so it can grow bigger and bigger. If the two families can marry, it will be of great benefit to the Qin family. If the relationship breaks down, the Qin family''s position will be very embarrassing.


    Therefore, Qin Zhongning often tried to bring the two together.


    But his daughter''s mind was full of magic and medicine, and she was indifferent to her suitors.


    Mu Xuan had long been dissatisfied!


    Now Qin Yue registered a studio in Oscar''s and her own name, which looked like a husband-and-wife shop.


    After Mu Xuan learned about it, he was jealous and furious. He smashed several teacups and wanted to skin Oscar alive!


    How dare you snatch a woman from me!


    In Mu Xuan''s mind, Qin Yue''s appearance appeared, her cold and charming face, her proud figure, and her plump long legs. He immediately felt a ball of evil fire rising in his abdomen.


    This woman must be mine!


    If I can''t conquer her spiritually, I have to get her body!


    What is Oscar? A lowly bastard!


    Is it not easy to kill him?


    Qin Zhongning was terrified and immediately came to find Qin Yue in person.


    Oscar, just a person abandoned by his family.


    When the Newcomer King Award was presented, the Mu family had sent messengers several times to bring Oscar back to the family.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    The result was unexpected to the family. Oscar not only refused to meet him, but also caused the mercenaries to beat the messengers and then drove them away.


    The Mu family leaders thought it was a great gift to let a bastard without a name return to the family tree, but Oscar showed a shameless attitude!


    This damaged the reputation of the Mu family, a prominent family in Baicheng, so the Mu family leaders were immediately furious, and some even had the idea of ??teaching Oscar a lesson.


    Qin Zhongning was a little scared.


    What''s the use of Oscar''s reputation?


    If Qin Yue walked with him, the Mu family would definitely be furious. Not only would they not support the Qin family, they would even deal with the Qin family. Qin Zhongning''s life would be difficult at that time. This time, Qin Yue must be taken away no matter what!


    When the carriage stopped at the door of Oscar''s house, dozens of guards surrounded the two of them and immediately rushed over aggressively.


    The mercenary guards immediately stopped them.


    "Can you break in?"


    "Get lost!"


    The mercenary saw that the other party was of high status, but no matter who the other party was, if Oscar didn''t nod, even if the mayor came, he would have no chance of getting in.


    Qin Zhongning was furious: "Let Qin Yue come out!"


    What''s going on?


    Not looking for Oscar?


    Oscar and the other two walked out of the house, and Mu Alice said dissatisfiedly: "The young master is teaching us, who is making a noise outside."


    Qin Yue screamed and turned around to run.


    "Stop!"


    Qin Zhongning shouted angrily, and dozens of guards rushed forward.


    Break in by force?


    This is unacceptable!


    The two sides bumped into each other, pushed each other, and even wrestled, and the whole mess was in chaos.


    Mu Xuan chanted a spell and released a spell. From the staff inlaid with green crystals, several green lights suddenly shot out and hit the mercenaries. A large number of finger-thick vines grew from their bodies, directly entangling their legs and feet, and the mercenaries fell to the ground one after another.


    "Damn, this guy has some magic power!"


    "Get your weapons!"


    The mercenaries were about to draw their weapons, and the conflict was about to escalate.


    "Back off!" Oscar gave the order, looking back at the embarrassed Qin Yue, "What the hell is going on?"


    Qin Yue looked frustrated: "This... is my dad."


    Qin Zhongning and his group walked into the yard.


    Mu Xuan looked disdainful and sneered: "You are Oscar? What a coincidence, my last name is Mu too!"


    Oscar understood when he heard it, and couldn''t help but frowned slightly and said: "But we don''t seem to be related, what can I do for you?"


    "You have a little self-knowledge. Of course I''m here to find Miss Qin Yue, otherwise what do you think? How could I come to you specifically?" At this point, Mu Xuan added coldly, "Just a bastard!"


    "You''re talking nonsense!"


    Mu Alice''s face turned red with anger.


    If Oscar hadn''t pulled her, she would have rushed over and fought him to the death!


    You can insult her, but you can''t insult the young master!


    This guy is even more hateful. He not only insulted the young master, but also the lady and the master.


    Oscar''s parents are Mu Alice''s adoptive mother. They picked up Mu Alice from the wild and raised her up. They are very kind to Mu Alice and hold an extremely important position in her heart.


    Oscar''s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "Oh, you''re here to cause trouble?"


    "Are you worthy?" Mu Xuan ignored him, walked to Qin Yue with a sincere face, and said with concern: "Xiao Yue, how can you leave without saying goodbye? Do you know how worried I am about you?


    Recently, the turbulent forces have made Baisong Town very chaotic, which has made me unable to sleep and eat. I came here in a hurry. If I am abrupt, I hope you don''t mind."


    "I want to stay here to work!" Qin Yue clenched his fists and said firmly: "I won''t go back!"


    "Nonsense!"


    "Uncle Qin, calm down." Mu Xuan said to Qin Yue: "There are several large studios under my Mu family, and the head of the family just handed the studio to me to manage.


    If Xiao Yue likes to do research and development work, the Mu family studio just needs a supervisor. I can decide to let Xiao Yue take the position, and you will command the research and development team."


    Qin Zhongning was ecstatic.


    The Mu family is a family of sorcerers with very strong R&D capabilities. Several of their studios are well-known in Baicheng and are very powerful. They have produced more than a dozen products, and the valuation of each studio is as high as several thousand gold coins!


    It is a huge advantage to hand over such powerful resources and teams to Qin Yue for management, and the entire Qin family will benefit!


    "You also know the strength of the Mu family. Our studio has more than 300 people, all of whom are industry elites. In the past few years, we have developed or improved more than 200 spells and developed dozens of medicine formulas. Now there are several hot-selling products on the market that come from the Mu family studio!"


    Qin Zhongning hurriedly shouted: "Xiaoyue, what are you still standing there for? Why don''t you thank Mu Shao!"


    "Xiaoyue, you are a genius, you need a better platform to show your talent!" Mu Xuan glanced at Oscar and said with a thorn in his words: "Cooperating with some small fish will only humiliate your potential!"


    Mu Xuan is full of confidence.


    Qin Yue is obsessed with spells, why don''t you follow him back obediently?


    He thought he had a sure win, but he didn''t know that Qin Yue was about to explode!


    How could they understand the importance of Yunyue Studio to Qin Yue? Oscar was willing to teach him and run a studio together. What a great care! Qin Yue didn''t have time to help Oscar make money, and he didn''t do anything for him.


    Now he was humiliated because of this!


    Qin Yue felt very guilty and very angry!


    "Those broken studios can play by themselves!" Qin Yue glared and shouted word by word: "I don''t care! Get out of here!"


    As soon as this was said.


    Shocked.


    Qin Zhongning and Mu Xuan were stunned.


    Except that Oscar often made Qin Yue lose her composure, she had always been a cold and steady image, and never exploded like now.


    Qin Zhongning was furious: "Mr. Mu wants to help you, what is your attitude!"


    Qin Yue shouted: "Stop talking, anyway, I won''t go back!"


    "You can''t make trouble today, what are you looking at, take her away immediately!"


    Dozens of guards were about to tie Qin Yue up.


    Mu Xuan even said angrily: "By the way, give this bastard a leg!"


    Just when this conflict was about to be planned, there was a sound of hurried carriages outside the door.


    "Excuse me, is Oscar here?"


    An old but polite voice sounded, and everyone focused their attention. They saw a white-haired old man in a plain robe appear at the door, sticking his head in and looking around. When he saw the mess in the yard, he couldn''t help but frown.


    "Who are you?"


    "Weng Lianhai from the Warlock Guild!"


    Boom!


    Thunderbolts struck the top of the head!


    Qin Zhongning and Mu Xuan were petrified on the spot.


    Weng Lianhai!


    Chairman of the White City Warlock Guild!


    40th Ring Grand Warlock Weng Lianhai!


    This semi-retired figure, the guy that the city lord dared not to see even if he wanted to visit, actually appeared here!


    This level of person, let alone Qin Zhongning, a businessman, even the head of the Mu family would have to be polite when seeing him.


    After all, he is a leading figure in Baicheng!


    "I am."


    Oscar had never heard of Weng Lianhai, but he could feel that this person''s strength was probably not inferior to Liu Rufeng.


    Weng Lianhai came over, looked at Oscar, laughed, and said while holding his beard: "Good, good! He is indeed a handsome man! It is true that heroes come from young people, heroes come from young people!"


    He paused for two seconds, and his eyes fell on Qin Yue again, "You are Qin Yue, right?"


    Qin Yue was so nervous that she couldn''t speak: "I... I am!"


    Weng Lianhai looked at Qin Zhongning again: "I seem to have seen you. You are a businessman in Baicheng who makes materials. What''s your name..."


    Qin Zhongning said in fear: "Chairman Weng, I... I am Qin Zhongning!"


    "Oh, oh, right!" Weng Lianhai nodded repeatedly, "Not bad, not bad, you gave birth to a good daughter!"


    The weight of Weng Lianhai''s praise was heavy enough to make the headlines of Baicheng Daily!


    "I''m here on behalf of the Warlock Guild to discuss cooperation!" Weng Lianhai said to the two,


    "Yunyue Studio has great potential, so we must choose the best partner. The strength of the Warlock Guild does not need to be explained. As for the conditions, just make them, and everything will be fine!"


    Mu Xuan felt dizzy.


    Weng Lianhai came to Baisong Town in person, and he was actually going to cooperate with a studio of 3 people on behalf of the Warlock Guild. Even the large studio of the Mu family did not have such an honor... The script should not be written like this!

 Chapter 45 Big Shot

    Weng Lianhai is a figure of the highest rank in Baicheng. He can shake Baicheng with just one stomp of his foot.


    Mu Xuan and Qin Zhongning could never imagine how a person of this rank could come to such an inconspicuous town, find Oscar, and have an inconspicuous small studio.


    A carriage sounded outside the door.


    Another old man appeared!


    This man was shorter than Weng Lianhai, skinny, and serious.


    Zhao Pu was only a few minutes later than Weng Lianhai. Zhao Pu was an honorary lecturer of the Academy Alliance, editor-in-chief of the journal in Baicheng, vice president of the academy, 32-ring master, and Mu Xuan''s immediate superior.


    Two master masters appeared!


    Zhao Pu and Weng Lianhai were obviously stunned when they saw each other, staring at each other for a while.


    "Why are you here!"


    "I was just about to ask you!"


    Zhao Pu said very impolitely: "Of course I''m here to discuss cooperation, you old man, stay away!"


    Qin Zhongning was so scared that his liver and gallbladder broke.


    It''s over!


    If the two old monsters were to fight, the consequences would be disastrous!


    Weng Lianhai said relentlessly: "Gu Boyun didn''t come, but he actually sent you here? When you said this, weren''t you afraid that I would blow you up on the spot?"


    Both sides were famous sorcerers, respected and influential, but at this moment they were glaring and looked like they were about to fight.


    The deputy courtyard is here too?


    Mu Xuan''s legs were weak, as if he was about to collapse.


    "Damn it!"


    "Someone got here first!"


    "We''re late!"


    Outside, two loud shouts rang out. The sound waves contained a strong true energy, and the remaining snow on the pine trees was shaken off. Two figures jumped up several meters high, somersaulted in the air, and landed in the courtyard with a bang.


    Mu Xuan and Qin Zhongning almost popped their eyes out when they saw the two of them.


    The leader had a bear-like figure, a full head and face of golden beard, like a lion - Luo Zhan, the Baicheng supervisor of the Mercenary Union! Known as the Golden Lion, this is a 36-star great martial artist!


    The other one was wearing metal armor and a long sword stuck in his back. Although he looked thin compared to the Golden Lion, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk. This is Nie Ying, the deputy leader of Baicheng District of the Martial Arts Alliance, a 35-star great martial artist!


    Two great magicians!


    Two great martial artists!


    Magic, martial arts, all!


    Baicheng has a population of two to three million, and 4 of the top 10 powerful figures have emerged!


    In fact, no matter how strong an individual is, he is ultimately limited in strength. These people are not only strong, but also represent a behemoth.


    The most influential warlock organization - the Warlock Guild!


    The second most influential warlock organization - the Academy Alliance!


    A large alliance composed of countless mercenary groups - the Mercenary Guild!


    The most influential warrior organization - the Martial Arts Alliance!


    Any one of them who shows up here will be a behemoth that small families and small merchants look up to!


    Zhao Pu didn''t expect so many competitors, and immediately walked up to Oscar, laughed and said: "We haven''t seen each other for a few months, and I didn''t expect that you are famous again! We have always cooperated happily, so this time, no matter what, you must choose us!"


    Weng Lianhai cursed in his heart.


    This guy started to talk about relationships!


    Golden Lion Luo Zhan roared with a voice like a gong: "Old man, don''t talk about relationships. Since Yunyue Studio has sent us all letters, then everyone has a chance to compete! Right!"


    Nie Ying nodded and said: "That''s right!"


    Luo Zhan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Hello, Oscar, the Snow Wolf Mercenary. Let me introduce myself. I am Luo Zhan, the director of the Baicheng District [Mercenary Guild]. I hope to cooperate with Yunyue Studio!"


    Nie Ying directly scolded: "We agreed not to talk about relationships! Don''t fucking talk about your mercenary status!"


    The four people quarreled in a mess.


    Qin Zhongning was completely petrified.


    The four giants.


    It''s hard to even see each other on weekdays.


    All of them are fighting for the qualification to cooperate with a studio, and they are arguing red in the face?


    The creator of the studio is his daughter-Qin Yue!


    Am I dreaming?


    Qin Zhongning pinched himself hard.Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.


    "Are you mistaken?" Mu Xuan was about to go crazy, and shouted irrationally: "This broken studio has only 3 people, no laboratory, and can''t even afford basic equipment. It''s just an empty shell that has just been established!"


    Weng Lianhai was a little unhappy: "Who are you?"


    Zhao Pu just found Mu Xuan: "Mu Xuan, why is it you?"


    He remembered.


    Oscar came from the Mu family,


    Mu Xuan is a direct descendant of the Mu family, how could he appear here?


    "Grandpa Zhao Pu, this guy is a bad guy!" Mu Alice was particularly vengeful, and immediately stood up to complain: "This bad guy wants to break up the studio, and also called the young master... a bastard! He also wants people to beat us! Grandpa, you have to make the decision for us!"


    Mu Xuan almost vomited blood and fainted.


    The four giants were all stunned.


    What?


    Break up the studio?


    This is really unreasonable!


    "Great! The Mu family doesn''t develop well, but instead becomes jealous of talented people!" Weng Lianhai was the first to get angry, and suddenly a strong breath burst out, "Do you think the family''s history is too long?"


    Weng Lianhai was angry!


    The consequences are disastrous!


    Weng Lianhai is the chairman of the White City Warlock Guild, and the Warlock Guild is the largest warlock organization. If the Warlock Guild wants to deal with the Mu family, then the Mu family will definitely be in chaos! But why did Weng Lianhai do this?


    "Chairman Weng, calm down, this is a misunderstanding!"


    The other three saw this.


    They thought at the same time.


    This is an opportunity. Oscar has just been wronged. If he helps him vent, the success rate of the negotiation will be much higher.


    Zhao Pu pointed directly at Mu Xuan''s nose and cursed: "Don''t think that you can bully others just because you have a higher cultivation level. Do you know that even if a hundred of you are added together, they are not as good as one Oscar! Your Mu family has a genius, but you don''t try to invite him back, and you even make things difficult for him!


    People like you should not be teachers. From tomorrow on, you don''t need to come to the college!"


    The vice president said that he would revoke the qualification of the chief teacher!


    Mu Xuan''s face turned pale.


    The identity of the head of the Wood Department of Baicheng College is actually equivalent to a business card, an honor, and an important bargaining chip for competing for the position of the head of the family in the future! He circulated a lot of people and finally got a stable position, but he was taken away just by saying that he would take it!


    Mu Xuan is also a genius, and a master of magician level. In this era of fierce competition for talents, Zhao Pu did not hesitate to fire a chief lecturer in a few words in order to win over Oscar.


    Qin Zhongning trembled all over, and was terrified in his heart... Oops, he got into trouble!


    Mu Xuan was so upset that his intestines turned green. He was full of dissatisfaction, but he didn''t have time to say anything. Luo Zhan and Nie Ying were warriors. Luo Zhan had the typical character of a mercenary, and was destined to act decisively, so - a slap on the spot!


    Bang!


    How powerful is the golden lion?


    This slap directly broke three of Mu Xuan''s teeth.


    Nie Ying picked up the staff that Mu Xuan dropped on the ground, "This staff is not bad, let it be used as compensation." As he said, he handed the staff to Oscar.


    This staff is two feet long, inlaid with green crystals, and is a wooden staff. I''m afraid it''s expensive.


    This [Green Forest Staff] was made by the Mu family at a cost of 500 gold coins, and it can be sold for at least ** hundred gold coins in the market. Mu Xuan is indeed a genius of the Mu family, but after all, he has not yet taken power, and the property he can control is limited, which is not a small amount.


    Beating someone!


    Beating someone!


    Qin Zhongning''s legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. This man was not an ordinary person. He was the direct descendant of the Mu family. How could these people beat him up? They also snatched Mu Xuan''s staff and gave it to Oscar. This was too much!


    "Stop it!"


    "I was wrong! Sorry, sorry!"


    Mu Xuan was spoiled and had never suffered such a blow. The golden lion slapped him and completely broke him down. He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.


    Nie Ying also wanted to teach him a lesson, but as a prominent family in Baicheng, the Mu family had some background. Their martial arts alliance was not as domineering as the mercenary guild, and seemed to give him some face.


    "Okay!"


    "Get out!"


    Mu Xuan was as if he had been pardoned. He rolled and crawled and fled in a panic, leaving Qin Zhongning behind, with a dazed face, not knowing what to say.


    Now let''s get back to the point.


    None of these White City giants are easy to offend. Oscar was so worried that he threw the question directly to Qin Yue and said, "Qin Yue is the person in charge of Yunyue Studio. If you have any questions, just talk to her."


    Oscar stayed out of the matter.


    These four formulas are very low-level, but they are also very precious.


    For example, for a bottle of [Brave Potion], the cost of the potion material is only about 300 coppers, plus the operating costs including labor and equipment, it is only 500 coppers at most. The selling price is 1 silver coin, which is believed to be quite popular.


    Selling 1 bottle will make 500 copper coins.


    Selling 100 bottles will make 50,000 copper coins.


    If you sell 10,000 bottles, you will make 5 million coppers, which is equivalent to 5 gold coins!


    The demand for this kind of consumables is very wide, and even the army will purchase them in bulk. As long as you open up the market in three or five cities and open up a few more channels, the net profit will easily be several thousand gold coins per year. There is unlimited market space in the Silver Snow Region alone.


    Compared with selling spells, selling potions is time-limited. No matter how good a spell is, it is impossible for it to be hot all the time. Potions are consumables. As long as there are no competitors or better potions to replace them, they can maintain hot sales. As the market expands, the income will increase.


    Of course.


    What the White City giants really value is not the money of potions, but the influence brought by potions. This kind of potion will definitely spread very widely in the future, and it will definitely promote the influence of the organization. The added value is higher than the direct benefits, which is what the giants really value.


    There are no good substitutes for these potions, and there is basically no competition in a short period of time. In the future, the potions will be sold to other domains and to alien races. Not only will they have huge profit value, but they will also greatly enhance the influence of the organization!


    Qin Yue guessed that Oscar''s formula would definitely cause a fight among several major forces.


    But he didn''t think about it.


    These leading figures would personally take part in the battle, and he didn''t expect that they would quarrel over a few formulas to the point of wanting to fight.


    Qin Yue didn''t dare to offend any of these people.


    There is only one way.


    Four formulas, four people, one for each, divide them up quickly.


    Otherwise, if people from other forces arrive, it will be a big trouble!


    [Brave Potion] Sold to Luo Zhan, mercenaries spend their days in adventure, so brave potion is a very good auxiliary medicine.


    [Body Tempering Pill] Sold to Nie Ying, the Martial Arts Alliance is a large-scale martial arts organization. When martial artists exercise, they need to consume a lot of body pills, so body tempering pills are most helpful to the Martial Arts Alliance.


    [Focus Potion] Sold to Zhao Pu, there is no doubt about it. Concentration potion can improve memory and comprehension ability several times. There are countless students volunteering in the Academy Alliance, and concentration potion can be sold in bundles, which can not only increase students'' learning ability, but also maximize the influence of potions.


    [Anti-fatigue Potion] Sold to Weng Lianhai, the Warlock Guild is the strongest, with unparalleled R&D capabilities, and there are many strong people. Anti-fatigue potion has a wide range of applications. It is most appropriate for the Warlock Guild to master it.


    This result.


    The several giants are not very satisfied, they are going to take all the orders.


    But it was barely acceptable.


    It is not the lack of profit that is worrying, but the inequality. In this way, no one will suffer. Yunyue Studio has great potential, and there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future. Everyone agreed readily. 10% of the profit will be shared every month for half a year, and 5% of the profit will be shared every month thereafter. However, when signing the contract, each company needs to prepay 300 gold coins to Yunyue Studio.


    This condition is not high and reasonable.


    The studio only provides the formula, and the production, sales, and operation are all left to others. Every strength here has huge resources and channels, so it is not easy to get such a contract.


    The contract is signed and sent to the Art Alliance to complete the supervision procedures.


    It will officially take effect from now on.

 Chapter 46 Four major formulas

    The studio enjoys profits from the sale of ordinary formulas, generally between 3-10%.


    There is a minimum standard for dividend sharing. If the product does not sell well, the surplus is very small or even loses money, the inventor will not get a penny.


    Yunyue Studio has no reputation and qualifications. Before it started production and sales, it received a huge advance payment of 300 gold coins as soon as the contract was signed. A new studio can get about 10% of the dividend sharing, which is also a very generous reward.


    This is because the formula is indeed excellent enough, its own value is difficult to estimate, and competitors are eyeing it covetously.


    The 300 gold coin advance payment is not a huge sum of money for the giants, but it is not a small amount either. However, ordinary people will not carry so much money when they go out, and it will take a few days to deliver it to Baisong Town.


    These people are well-known big men with legal contracts, so there is no need to worry about defaulting on debts.


    Luo Zhan and Nie Ying got the formula and set off back happily.


    Zhao Pu and Weng Lianhai stayed.


    Because in addition to the formula, the two of them also took a fancy to something.


    Zhao Pu spoke first: "Who invented the [Universal Refining Formula for Level 1 Beast Crystals]?"


    Weng Lianhai followed up with a question: "Can this refining formula stably refine 981 different level 1 beast crystals? If it is true, this formula is enough to cause a sensation in the world of magic! The best refining method at present can only refine 5 or 6 different beast crystals, and it is not very stable."


    Qin Yue said very confidently: "This is the formula invented by Oscar. I have tried it and it is absolutely easy to use and can stably refine level 1 beast crystals!"


    Zhao Pu and Weng Lianhai showed surprise.


    Once this refining formula is announced, it is no problem to win the Rookie King Award again. The beast crystals formed by different beasts have different properties and structures, and the refining methods are all strange and varied. There are countless types of beasts. If the refining formulas are written one by one, it will be enough to fill several bookshelves!


    If there is a universal refining formula, it will be of great significance, enough to increase the efficiency of magic research, and have an immeasurable effect on refining medicine, alchemy, refining equipment, etc.


    This refining formula is relatively backward, low-level, and outdated for Oscar.


    It is a very advanced and advanced technology in this period!


    Whether it is Zhao Pu or Weng Lianhai, they think that the formula can bring tomato influence. "Five Elements Journal" and "Warlock Journal" are publications before the influence of warlocks. The competition is very fierce. No matter which one this formula is published in, it will cause a big blow to the other one.


    Zhao Pu said directly: "Okay, very good, this formula is included in the Five Elements journal! We will publish it in the monthly magazine!"


    "Bullshit!" Weng Lianhai cursed: "Such a good formula should of course be placed in the best journal to increase its influence. The circulation of the Warlock journal is indisputable! It must be us!"


    "Oscar has been cooperating with the Five Elements, you Warlocks, don''t get involved!"


    "Aren''t you just publishing a few spells and a paper? Oscar is not a contracted warlock of the Academy Alliance! It''s his freedom to publish wherever he wants, you have no right to control it!"


    "Bah, I''ll decide!"


    The two great warlocks quarreled fiercely and were about to fight.


    Weng Lianhai slammed the table and said to Qin Yue: "You decide which one to publish?"


    Qin Yue was very embarrassed.


    Oscar didn''t care about this formula at all.


    Zhao Pu and Oscar had a long-standing friendship.


    Weng Lianhai was respected and had just helped Oscar.


    Choosing Zhao Pu would hit Weng Lianhai, and choosing Weng Lianhai would hit Zhao Pu. No matter who you choose, one of them will suffer. Qin Yue didn''t want to offend any of these two old guys.


    Qin Yue''s magic machine moved, and he said seriously: "The two elders don''t need to argue anymore. This formula will be published in the journal "Alchemy". After all, refining is a branch of pharmacy, and it is most appropriate to choose the journal "Alchemy". "


    Zhao Pu and Weng Lianhai were stunned.


    What a cunning girl, not choosing either side, not offending either side? In this case, the two old guys will certainly not do it!


    "We argued fiercely, but in the end, we got something for nothing. Who do you think we are? How could this happen!"


    "You must make a choice!"


    Qin Yue smiled slyly and said, "Do you have to make a choice?"


    The two old guys said in unison, "Yes!"


    Qin Yue said, "Then let''s do it together!"


    The two old guys were stunned at the same time: "What?"


    "This formula can be published in the journals "Five Elements" and "Wizard" at the same time!" Qin Yue pushed his glasses and said seriously, "No one will suffer."Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    "This..."


    Qin Yue added, "If it doesn''t work, we can only publish it in "Alchemy". You are all old predecessors in the world of magic, and you are also people I respect and admire very much. I don''t want to make you unhappy."


    Zhao Pu smiled bitterly and said, "What a smooth girl!"


    "What do you think?"


    "Forget it, if that''s the case, let''s publish it together!"


    Finally, the two difficult old guys were dealt with!


    Qin Yue stroked his towering chest and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a strong sense of accomplishment.


    Zhao Pu, Vice President of Baicheng College. Weng Lianhai, Chairman of Baicheng Warlock Guild. Luo Zhan, Director of Baicheng Mercenary Guild.


    Nie Ying, Vice Leader of Baicheng Martial Arts Alliance... These big men who made countless people lick their boots were so humble today that they almost fought for a few recipes.


    What an honorable thing!


    After Zhao Pu and Weng Lianhai achieved their goal, they chatted with Oscar for a few words and left.


    Qin Yue stood in front of her father with her chest held high, "I have done what I should do. Since you insist that I go back, I will go back to Baicheng with you now!"


    Qin Zhongning looked embarrassed. He knew that his daughter was angry with him, so he immediately smiled and said, "Well... Actually, it''s not bad to stay in Baisong Town. Oscar is a young talent with a bright future. It''s a good thing that you two can create a studio and communicate with each other to make progress."


    Qin Yue deliberately snorted and said, "You didn''t say that before!"


    Qin Zhongning didn''t dare to let his daughter go back, and continued to smile and said, "Don''t be upset. I''m doing this for your own good, right? If you have the chance in the future, please say a few good words for your father in front of Chairman Weng and Vice President Zhao."


    "You still have the nerve to say that you are doing this for my own good. You only have business in your mind! Your nickname in Baicheng is ''Qin Ba Pi'', and you specialize in exploiting and squeezing others. Now you don''t even let my daughter go, and you want to push me into the fire pit of the Mu family!" Qin Yue expressed her dissatisfaction.


    "You can''t say that. Isn''t Oscar also surnamed Mu? If you two get together, won''t you also enter the Mu family?"


    "He... He probably doesn''t like me!"


    When Qin Yue said this, she looked like a deflated ball.


    After she finished speaking, she reacted and suddenly felt her face burning. She could hardly believe that such words would appear in her mouth.


    "How could it be?" Qin Zhongning said very confidently: "In the whole Baicheng, can you find a girl more beautiful than you? You must have confidence. This Oscar is not simple. He will definitely soar to the sky in the future. You must seize the opportunity."


    "Humph! Is your mind full of only interests?"


    "As the head of the family, of course I have to think about the family. You can''t blame me for this. Besides, I have the interests I need to pursue, and you have the knowledge you want to pursue. In the final analysis, there is no essential difference."


    "Nonsense! There is a big difference! At least I will not give up my bottom line for the pursuit of knowledge!"


    Qin Yue''s eyebrows were raised.


    "Okay, okay, I won''t say anything. I won''t say anything." Qin Zhongning knew his daughter''s character, shook his head and said, "I''ll go back now. I''ll come back often when I have time in the future. It''s better to bring the boy surnamed Mu with me."


    "Okay, okay, you''re so nagging, go away!"


    Qin Yue was very impolite.


    Qin Zhongning left Baisong Town by car.


    "Have they all left?"


    Oscar sat on a rattan chair, leisurely brewing tea, and everything had nothing to do with it.


    Alice was concentrating on doing homework next to him.


    "This is the contract, please take a look."


    Qin Yue handed over the scroll in her arms.


    "No, I believe you." Oscar poured a cup of fragrant tea and pushed it in front of Qin Yue, "Moisten your throat, you''ve talked for so long, you''ve worked hard."


    Qin Yue stared blankly at the steam rising from the teacup, and then looked at Oscar''s calm look, feeling a trance.


    Oscar didn''t seem to care about anything. The incident was so big that it alarmed several leading figures. It was such an exciting and shocking thing.


    Oscar still treated it with a normal heart, not happy with things, as if nothing had happened.


    Qin Yue felt a unique temperament from him, a very comfortable sense of tranquility.


    "Sit down, let''s continue the class. There are some things that have not been finished."


    Qin Yue and Oscar were together, and felt infected by the tranquility of each other. Her restless heart suddenly calmed down gradually.


    She felt that a string in her heart was touched. This feeling was very comfortable, which she had never experienced at home.


    "Good!"


    Qin Yue didn''t know why she felt a little touched, warm and very fulfilled. She sat honestly with Alice. Alice helped Qin Yue open the book. The two took up their pens and began to listen to the class seriously.


    Oscar''s lecture time passed very quickly.


    This was a wonderful enjoyment for Qin Yue, which made her intoxicated and unable to extricate herself!


    Qin Yue loved her current life.


    "I''ll go cook!"


    Alice Mu closed her textbook and went to cook.


    Oscar was writing something on the desk.


    Everything today.


    It was like a dream, it never happened.


    Qin Yue secretly decided in her heart that no matter where Oscar and Alice Mu would go, she must follow them.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    A few days later.


    The Baicheng media exploded again.


    "Baicheng Daily": The four giants gathered in Baisong Town to discuss cooperation with Yunyue Studio!


    "College Daily": The College Alliance cooperated with Yunyue Studio to launch a special potion [Focus Potion]. After being tested by the Art Alliance, it can at least double the learning ability. The effect is excellent and there are no side effects. It has attracted the pursuit of countless teachers and students, and various families and forces have issued huge orders!


    "Mercenary Times": The [Brave Potion] launched by the Baicheng Mercenary Guild and Yunyue Studio received an order from the Lord of Baicheng, and together with the [Quenching Pill] launched by the Martial Arts Alliance, it has become one of the strategic reserves of the army.


    Countless news pointed to an unheard-of small studio.


    The power of the media is strong.


    Yunyue Studio was exposed.


    The person in charge of the studio is Qin Yue. As for the members, they are Qin Yue, Oscar, and Mu Alice... A studio with only three people actually launched four heavyweight products at one time!


    Countless people were shocked!


    Too amazing!


    Oscar, Oscar again!


    This apprentice dominated the headlines of countless news media in more than a month, invented spells, defeated evil warlocks, and invented potions... This mysterious apprentice has countless halos on his head, which makes people jealous and envious.


    No one knows.


    Oscar, who is less than 20 years old, where did he get the knowledge from? Is he an omnipotent genius?


    After getting the formula, the four major forces immediately rushed into the factory and made a batch of them to be put on the market, all of which caused a sensation.


    Inside Baicheng College.


    Several girls discussed together.


    "Xiao Li, let''s go to the show?"


    "I haven''t mastered a few formulas. If I can''t answer them when the teacher tests me tomorrow, I''ll be in trouble. Have you already learned them?"


    "Of course!"


    Xiao Li was very surprised: "How is this possible?"


    "I have a secret weapon!" The girl took out a light blue potion, "I got a [Focus Potion], what I learned in 1 hour can now be done in 20 minutes. I''ll drink half of it and leave the other half for you. How about that, isn''t it nice!"


    "No way, it''s so magical?"


    "How could I lie to you?" The girl''s eyes sparkled with stars, and she said with admiration: "This was invented by Yunyue Studio. Our idol Oscar is from Yunyue Studio. Can his stuff be fake?"


    "Wow, it''s Oscar!" Xiao Li screamed, full of admiration, "Why didn''t you say it earlier, or I would have bought it too!"


    "Let''s go to the show!"


    "Okay!"


    The two girls closed their textbooks and jumped out of the classroom.


    Similar scenes are being played out in many places in Baicheng. [Focus Potion] and [Anti-Fatigue Potion] can penetrate into all walks of life and have a very wide range of applications. [Body Tempering Pill] and [Bravery Potion] are enthusiastically sought after by the military, mercenaries, adventurers, and warriors.

 Chapter 47 Popular in Baicheng

    When Yunyue Studio became famous, another piece of heavy news was announced - Nalan Yan held a press conference. After a month of preparation, countless poor sorcerers had been calling for it, and the sale of the Meditation Incense was announced.


    This time, Nalan Yan made a desperate bet, betting all his assets on more than one thousand gold coins, and producing about 1 million pillars of Meditation Incense.


    The comprehensive cost of each incense stick is 120 copper coins!


    Nalan Yan sold it at a price of 220 copper coins per stick!


    After a whole month of preparation and running around to promote it, it was finally time to accept the results. The price of Meditation Incense was still slightly expensive, but it was only equivalent to one-fifth of Meditation Grass, and its effect was better than directly burning Meditation Grass.


    Although he was confident in Meditation Incense, Nalan Yan was still very nervous. If something unexpected happened, it would be over.


    "What''s the situation?"


    "It''s not time yet!" Maid Xiaoxue was also nervous. The family gave the young lady limited resources, and all of them were bet on the meditation incense. "Don''t worry, it will be fine!"


    Nalan Yan prayed silently: "I hope so, I hope so!"


    The sale of meditation incense began!


    Baicheng has set up 6 sales stations, and there are 4 in the surrounding villages and towns, a total of 10 sales points. The moment the meditation incense was opened for sale, countless poor warlocks swarmed in and almost squeezed the door.


    "I want 10!"


    "Come 15!"


    "I want 20!"


    "I want 90!"


    "..."


    The scene was more popular than expected. In order to prevent some merchants from reselling and raising prices, the purchase limit for each person was 100 sticks, so that more people could buy meditation incense, thereby enhancing the influence of Xueyan Chamber of Commerce.


    Three hours after the official sale.


    Xiaoxue hurried back: "Statistics of the situation in various places have been compiled."


    Nalan Yan had been restless for a long time and asked nervously: "How is the situation?"


    "Guess!"


    "Is it more than 100,000?"


    Xiaoxue shook her head.


    Nalan Yan showed disappointment. Could it be that she was too confident and overestimated the potential of the meditation incense, and she didn''t sell 100,000 incense sticks. She asked nervously: "What about 80,000?"


    Xiaoxue shook her head.


    Nalan Yan''s palms began to sweat. She didn''t know what was wrong. "What about 50,000?"


    Still shook her head.


    Nalan Yan''s voice trembled: "How much is it?"


    Xiaoxue stretched out two fingers.


    "Is it only 20,000?"


    "200,000! We sold 200,000! Sold 200,000 sticks in three hours, it''s a brilliant achievement!"


    An average of about 1,100 per minute, in other words, the 10 sales points never stopped. From the data, you can imagine how popular the scene is!


    "We succeeded!"


    "We succeeded!"


    Nalan Yan''s eyes were filled with tears, and she hugged Xiaoxue excitedly. Xiaoxue also shed tears of excitement. She was a witness along the way. The young lady had to struggle to break away from the control of the family and gain a glimmer of hope that was almost impossible for herself. It was really not easy!


    Nalan Yan used her personal strength and limited resources to create the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce. It would be an extremely difficult road to challenge the first family in the north. It can even be said that this is an impossible task.


    Take the first step!


    Although it is only a little bit, there is a ray of hope after all!


    Good news one after another!


    At the end of six hours, the sales volume reached 500,000, and the speed was still increasing.


    Seven hours ended.


    The sales volume reached 700,000.


    Ten hours ended.


    The first batch of meditation incense was sold out!


    In just half a day, 1 million pieces of meditation incense were sold.


    Nalan Yan struck while the iron was hot and immediately held a press conference in Baicheng. In front of countless media reporters, she could not suppress her gratitude.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    She didn''t say anything.


    First, she bowed deeply!


    The reporters were dumbfounded!


    Nalan Yan said with tears in her eyes: "Although you can''t see it, I still thank you again. Oscar, without your generosity, we would not be so glorious today!


    On behalf of myself and the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce, I express my most sincere gratitude to you!"


    This fairy-like figure, a pearl in the super family, actually spared no effort to express gratitude to a young apprentice with such a humble attitude.


    Oscar, this legendary young apprentice, has been added with a thick stroke.


    A journalist stepped forward and said, "Hello, I am a reporter from Baicheng Daily. Xueyan''s first product, [Mingsixiang], was sold out on the first day. Do you have any thoughts?"


    Nalan Yan calmed down and replied calmly, "Today''s hot sales are both unexpected and reasonable.


    The production line of Xueyan Chamber of Commerce has been established, and the second batch is in production and is expected to be put on the market in 5 days. Xueyan is the only legal authorized party for the [Mingsixiang] method, so please recognize the brand and don''t trust counterfeit products!"


    Another reporter asked, "Mingsixiang has not yet been sold in various cities. When will Nalan Yan expand the product to the outside world?"


    Nalan Yan''s ability cannot be met by the Baicheng market, so how can he sell it to other cities.


    Nalan Yan replied, "This will be a product that will benefit countless warlocks. In order to let warlocks from all over the country enjoy the convenience of [Mingsixiang] as soon as possible, we are willing to find partners and hope to find a powerful and reputable chamber of commerce as an agent."


    Once the news was released,


    Merchants in other towns must not be calm. The hot sales on the first day showed that the meditation incense had huge commercial potential. If they could get a local agent qualification and be the first to launch the meditation incense, they would definitely make a lot of money.


    Merchants flocked to it, and the agency fees naturally rose.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    The next day.


    Baicheng Business Newspaper put all the news on the headlines, "The sales of meditation incense are very hot!", "One million pieces sold in ten hours, a business miracle!", "Xueyan Chamber of Commerce achieved brilliant results", "Xueyan Chamber of Commerce sincerely recruits agents"...


    In a few days.


    Nalan Yan''s threshold was almost trampled.


    Nalan Yan gathered a large amount of funds and immediately bought several large factories near Baicheng at a high price, recruited hundreds of people, and expanded the production team. The current Xueyan Chamber of Commerce is one of the most productive commercial institutions in Baicheng.


    The ingredients of meditation incense are simple and do not need to be refined by magic.


    This kind of thing will soon be cracked. Xueyan Chamber of Commerce will use strong means to establish its brand reputation in one battle, and it will be able to guarantee profits for a period of time.


    However, as time goes by, the secret recipe will be exposed sooner or later, and ordinary people will be able to make it by themselves, and the profit margin will shrink sharply.


    Recruiting agents is an effective way to share pressure and collect profits.


    Nalan Yan lacks a stable product that can consolidate the status of Xueyan Chamber of Commerce. She began to contact major studios, hoping to buy a better formula, but ultimately failed.


    Either she is dissatisfied or she can''t buy it, Nalan Yan is very anxious.


    What should I do?


    The popularity of meditation incense will not last long!


    Spells, potions, talismans, weapons, materials, catering, publishing...


    Nalan Yan thought about more than a dozen industries, but the content of Xueyan Chamber of Commerce is weak, and she can''t find a new breakthrough for the time being. Although she has more and more abundant funds, she can''t find a suitable direction.


    The more popular the sales of meditation incense are recently.


    She is more and more anxious.


    The business world was surging, and the magic world was also not quiet.


    At this time, the monthly magazines "Five Elements" and "Warlock" were released, and an article called [Oscar''s Universal Refining Formula for Level 1 Beast Crystals] occupied the front page!


    Published in two major journals at the same time!


    This is a great honor, and several major authoritative institutions have jointly verified it. This is a true, reliable, and very stable refining formula. It was immediately compiled into the college textbooks and selected into the classics of major medicine, alchemy, and refining.


    It has become a formula that warlocks must learn and master!


    After research, the Warlock Alliance finally announced a message: "The [Oscar''s Universal Refining Formula for Level 1 Beast Crystals] invented by Oscar, an apprentice in Baisong Town, and published by Yunyue Studio has a huge effect on the progress of magic. In recognition of his outstanding contribution, the White Eagle Trophy is awarded!"


    The White Eagle is a level 1 magic beast.


    The type and level of the monster on the trophy determine the status of the trophy. The Warlock Alliance of Baicheng has issued the highest level 4 monster trophy, and the most recent level 4 monster trophy is the Ice Blizzard Bear Trophy, which was awarded to Weng Lianhai, the chairman of the Warlock Guild, about 8 years ago.


    In the same level trophies, different monsters have different weights.


    Eagle monsters are definitely higher and more meaningful than snakes, wolves, leopards, etc.


    In fact, with the contribution of Yunyue Studio, it is capable of getting a level 2 trophy. Oscar is just an apprentice, and Yunyue Studio has no influence. It is not suitable to directly get a trophy that is too high, so a white eagle trophy was given.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Baisong Town.


    The mayor''s house, the study.


    Most of the content in the newspaper in Wei Nan''s hand is about meditation incense, Yunyue Studio, and universal refining formula. These all point to the same person-Oscar.


    Although not as good as the older generation of Zhao Pu, Weng Lianhai and others.


    Oscar''s reputation among the younger generation is unmatched.


    Wei Nan''s face turned red little by little, something was burning in his eyes, flashing with an inexplicable fanaticism, and the newspaper was crumpled into a ball and thrown into the trash can.


    Wei Nan stood up and paced back and forth in the study, as if thinking about something. Suddenly, he calmed down and shouted, "Come here!"


    "Mr. Mayor, what do you want?"


    Wei Nan returned to his usual kind appearance and said with a smile, "What else can I do? Oscar has become so popular, which really brings honor to our town. Prepare a gift for me to celebrate."


    The guard nodded, "Yes!"


    Wei Nan continued, "By the way, has Oscar done anything special recently?"


    "Mr. Oscar is looking to buy beast crystals or demon crystals, but it''s not going very smoothly."


    "Really? Demon crystals, what does he want with this thing?" Wei Nan pondered for a moment, "Okay, I know, you go down."


    The guard left the room.


    Wei Nan paced back and forth in the study, looking solemn as if he was planning something. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Cheng Wu rushed in wearing armor.


    "Cheng Wu, why are you here?"


    Cheng Wu''s eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "Mayor, another village was massacred in the past two days, and several caravans were intercepted and killed. The flags of the orcs were left at the scene!"


    Wei Nan was surprised: "Are the orcs still active?"


    "These guys are getting more and more arrogant!"


    Wei Nan hurriedly asked: "Are there any survivors?"


    "There are 39 survivors."


    Wei Nan''s eyes flashed with a strange color, and he said with a sound of "Okay, let me settle them." At this point, he showed indignation, "These orcs are damned! You have to pay close attention to their actions!"


    "If they show up again next time, I must make them often use the Black Armor Army!" Cheng Wu clenched his fists angrily, and added: "If there is a next time, please don''t obstruct me again, Mayor!"


    "You..."


    Before Wei Nan finished speaking, Cheng Wu turned and left.


    Wei Nan showed an unhappy look: "This guy who doesn''t know how to live or die!"

 Chapter 48 Hunting Plan

    Oscar''s house.


    As soon as the Warlock Alliance envoy left, the hall was filled with gifts.


    Alice used a clean white handkerchief to wipe the trophy attentively.


    The Silver Eagle Trophy is 21 cm high, with a base made of high-purity fire copper, on which are engraved small words: information including the presenter, the winner, and the date.


    A silver eagle made of mithril stands on it, posing a flying posture, lifelike and very beautiful.


    After wiping it over and over again, the trophy is shining!


    Alice put the Silver Eagle Trophy into the cupboard and placed it next to the Rookie King Trophy. This is Oscar''s second trophy. Although Oscar doesn''t care at all, Alice is happy for him.


    Because the trophy represents the honor of a warlock.


    Qin Yue walked in with a heavy box: "The advance payment has arrived, come and take a look, it will open your eyes."


    Alice hurried to see it.


    Qin Yue opened it and found a box full of golden coins. Pure gold is an energy metal that emits a faint light. The two beautiful faces were directly reflected in a layer of gold.


    Alice was stunned. She reached into the box with both hands. A large number of gold coins were warm and smooth, slipping through her white and tender fingers, bursting out with a crisp and pleasant sound.


    It was as beautiful as fairy music!


    Gold coins!


    A box full of gold coins!


    Alice lived a very frugal life. She wanted to split a copper coin into two. A box full of gold coins was placed in front of her, blooming with a dreamy and beautiful light, which deeply shocked her inner demons.


    "How much money is this?"


    "1,200 gold coins!"


    Alice''s eyes lit up with countless little stars, "We can''t spend it all in ten lifetimes!"


    Qin Yue saw Alice''s intoxicated happiness and couldn''t help saying, "Little money-grubber, since you like money so much, you will be in charge of the studio''s finances in the future!"


    Mu Alice was a little embarrassed: "Is this appropriate?"


    Qin Yue nodded and said, "You are very talented in calculations. Every time you encounter a complex formula, you can always solve it at once. Just based on this point, you are suitable for managing finances."


    There are only three people in Yunyue Studio. Oscar is a demon soul figure, Qin Yue is the person in charge, and also a secretary or assistant. Only Alice has no job.


    In the future, the studio will grow bigger and bigger, and there will definitely be a lot of liquid funds. Alice is a trustworthy person, and it is naturally the most suitable to have her as the financial director.


    Alice Mu wanted to tell Oscar the news as soon as possible: "Why hasn''t the young master come back yet? Is he doing experiments again?"


    Qin Yue''s beautiful eyes showed a look of longing, "Oscar is studying the magic of the dead. I don''t know how the progress is." At this point, she suddenly stood up, "I have to tell him the good news!"


    Probably finding a reason for herself to enter the laboratory, Qin Yue''s eyes lit up, and she immediately threw down the gold coins and ran into a basement excitedly.


    The air was filled with the smell of potions.


    On the large and small magic circles, there were residual spell fluctuations.


    Oscar looked tired.


    Qin Yue was sweating profusely while running, and her plump breasts were violently ups and downs, and the mercenaries next to her saw this, and they all swallowed their saliva secretly, and couldn''t help but sigh in their hearts: Oscar really knows how to choose a secretary!


    "Why are you here?"


    Qin Yue told Oscar about the advance payment, and then asked casually: "How is the Necromancer spell going?"


    "The last round of spells has been processed." Oscar wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The only step left is to ignite the soul fire."


    Qin Yue didn''t know what the soul fire was, but just said: "Then light it quickly!"


    Oscar shook his head and sighed: "There is no way, the materials haven''t arrived!"


    There is no news about the demon crystal


    The purchase of beast crystals is not going well.


    I don''t know when the soul fire can be ignited!


    Qin Yue said very disappointedly: "The demon crystal may be difficult to find, and the level 3 beast crystal is not easy. When the city lord eliminated the scorpion tail beasts that occupied the important roads a while ago, he killed many level 3 scorpion tail beasts and only got two level 3 beast crystals.


    It has been collected in the city lord''s mansion, and it is impossible to buy it. If we have the ability to kill level 3 monsters in the wild like the city lord, then level 3 beast crystals should be no problem!"


    Oscar''s eyes lit up.


    Qin Yue inspired her.


    Since you can''t buy it, why not go find it yourself?


    With a high-quality mercenary resource in hand, it is not impossible to do it!A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    "Come here." Oscar called a mercenary guarding the gate to him and asked, "Are there any level 3 monsters nearby?"


    "Level 3 monsters are very rare. Even if they are found, no one dares to move. Places where level 3 monsters are active have now become restricted areas."


    The mercenary was stunned for a moment before saying, "The group usually only hunts level 1 monsters, and occasionally organizes a group to venture and hunt level 2 monsters. I have been a mercenary in the town for 5 years, and I have never seen anyone dare to hunt level 3 monsters."


    "Give me the information about monsters in the group."


    The mercenary took out a huge map and a thick handwritten book, "The information is all here."


    This map is made of animal skin, 3 meters long and wide, huge in size, and the terrain markings on the map are very clear, with circles and symbols of different colors, dividing hundreds of miles into dozens of small areas.


    Mercenaries often accept commissions, usually escort and hunting missions.


    A good map is particularly important for mercenary groups.


    "Let me see" Qin Yue came over.


    Oscar smelled a faint fragrance, and looked sideways. Qin Yue''s beautiful figure was clearly visible, which made him a little uncontrollable. This body is too young!


    "There are four areas in total. The green circle represents the safe area, the yellow circle represents the dangerous area, the red circle represents the high-risk area, and the black circle represents the unknown area."


    Oscar opened the old manual.


    Each area has a related code name, and the detailed information will be recorded in the manual, with very detailed descriptions, such as the situation of the monsters, the terrain environment, the distribution of herbs, and whether there are minerals...


    "Is there an iron-armed demon ape in this place?"


    Oscar found a level 3 monster record in the data book.


    The mercenary explained: "There is a group of iron-armed apes living near a cliff not far to the northwest. The leader is an iron-armed ape demon. At that time, a caravan passed by and was hit by the iron-armed ape demon. The whole team of hundreds of people were torn into pieces.


    This place is not far from Baisong Town, but no one dares to provoke them anymore. The area has been designated as a high-risk restricted area. For many years, entry is strictly prohibited unless it is an important mission."


    The iron-armed ape is a gold-type magic beast, which is level 2. There is a certain probability that a mutant will appear in the population of iron-armed apes, reaching the level of level 3 magic beasts. At the same time, it will become the leader of the iron-armed ape group and be called the iron-armed demon ape.


    This kind of magic beast can tear tigers and leopards apart alive. It is very powerful!


    Oscar closed the manual and made a decision: "Start organizing brothers. We have to kill this demon ape!"


    The mercenary said in horror: "The iron-armed demon ape is a level 3 magic beast!"


    What is the concept of a level 3 magic beast?


    This is equivalent to a great martial artist or a great magician. In fact, the magic beast is extremely powerful, and humans of the same level generally cannot beat the magic beast.


    Among the mercenaries in Baisong Town, the strongest is only the martial artist level One-Eye, whose combat power is not higher than that of a level 2 magic beast. When One-Eye is there, they dare not provoke the One-Eye Demon Ape.


    Oscar said that he wanted to enter the high-risk restricted area, catch the Iron Arm Ape Demon and kill it!


    There are about 15-20 ordinary Iron Arm Apes there!


    The Iron Arm Ape is at the level of a level 2 magic beast, and one is equivalent to a One-Eye!


    A dozen or twenty One-Eyes, what a strong combat force!


    Can such a thing be provoked casually?


    It''s simply courting death!


    Qin Yue has a blind trust in Oscar. She has a feeling that as long as Oscar dares to say it, he can probably do it.


    It''s just that the level 3 magic beast is too powerful.


    Is there really a way to solve it?


    "These beasts are really powerful, but remember, we are intelligent creatures. The biggest difference between us and Warcraft is not our physique and strength, but this..."


    Oscar pointed to his head.


    Mercenaries never lack courage, and swallowed his saliva: "What should we do? How many people do we need?"


    The territory occupied by the Iron Arm Demon Ape is very close to Baisong Town. At the same time, the area is rich in herbs and minerals. If the Iron Arm Demon Ape, which has been causing harm for a long time, can be eliminated, the prestige of the mercenary group in the local area will not only be greatly increased, but also a lot of benefits will be obtained.


    "Qin Yue, you go to the town to hold a press conference, announce the action, and recruit some warlocks with a lot of money."


    "Okay!"


    This is a major public action. The mercenary group will first hold a press conference to announce and explain the intention of the activity, which can not only expand its influence, but also win support from many parties.


    "The Iron Arm Demon Ape''s skin and flesh are strong, and your true Qi cannot cut it. At the same time, it is also highly resistant to spells, so you need to use a heavy crossbow or explosives."


    Heavy crossbows and explosives are not difficult to obtain.


    Although the mercenaries do not have them, the army does. With Oscar''s reputation in Baisong Town, he can borrow them if he asks.


    The mercenary was a little worried and said, "It''s not that easy. First of all, the heavy crossbow is not suitable for use in the forest. It is very heavy and has poor mobility. Explosives also explode at a fixed point. It is difficult for these two weapons to hit the Iron Arm Demon Ape. They are too magical!"


    "Simple, let the Iron Arm Demon Ape enter the designated attack range, right?"


    The mercenary thought that when Oscar dealt with zombies, he just let the zombies enter the designated position. He might be able to do it, but he couldn''t help but remind him, "The Iron Arm Ape is not a zombie. Such a beast is not stupid. It is impossible for it not to fight back when it is beaten. If the situation is not good, it will definitely run away."


    Oscar smiled confidently and turned to the mercenary and said, "I will prepare two magic arrays. The combination is practical and foolproof."


    Now we need to build two magic arrays, the first is the lure array, and the other is the illusion array.


    The concept of the lure array was not proposed until a thousand years later. About 1,500 years later, a mercenary warlock perfected the first lure array and it was widely used.


    Qin Yue asked curiously: "The principle of this magic array that attracts monsters must be different from that of the dead monsters!"


    "The luring array is generally a magic method that simulates biological pheromones, mainly sex hormones, which are suitable for use during the estrus period of monsters. When the magic array spreads the relevant pheromones, the monsters will be attracted from afar."


    "I see!"


    "In fact, in addition to pheromones, simulating the calls of companions, or the smell of favorite food or prey is also an effective way to attract."


    Qin Yue asked again: "Then what method are you going to use to lure the iron-armed ape? Make pheromones?"


    "Pheromones are not that easy to make. First, relevant substances must be extracted from the iron-armed ape before they can be refined. Besides, it is not the estrus period now, and the iron-armed apes generally only mate within the group."


    "What should we do then?"


    "As far as I know, there is only one iron-armed demon ape in each group. If another new iron-armed ape evolves, a bloody battle will inevitably occur between the two iron-armed demon apes, and the final winner will become the new leader."


    Qin Yue is a smart person and immediately understood Oscar''s plan.


    Just simulate the breath and cry of the Iron Arm Demon Ape, and the Iron Arm Demon Ape in the mountain will react immediately, taking it as a provocation or challenge, and lead all the Iron Arm Apes to fight.


    This will be much easier than synthesizing complex biological pheromones.


    And it is highly directional, so there is no need to worry about the mess of monsters being lured out.


    When the Iron Arm Ape falls into the trap, Oscar will activate the prepared [Small Maze Formation], which is a simple low-level mental formation that only works on ordinary people. People who are slightly stronger or determined are almost unaffected.


    Every creature has weaknesses.


    The Iron Arm Ape has impervious flesh and blood, and is also resistant to spells, but its mental strength is weak, which is a weakness that can be exploited. As a level 3 monster, the Iron Arm Demon Ape can be interfered with by a level 1 mental spell.


    Oscar grasped the characteristics of the monster, lured it into a trap, made it lost with an illusion array, and then killed it with a heavy crossbow and explosives.


    This is his hunting plan!


    As for whether he can get the beast crystal, use the beast crystal to ignite the soul fire, and awaken the powerful high-level corpse wizard, it depends on luck!

 Chapter 49 Preparations

    Oscar surveyed the nearby terrain and finally chose a place more than 20 miles away from Baisong Town. He dispatched hundreds of mercenaries and asked them to prepare first, prepare heavy crossbows and explosives to ensure that everything was safe.


    Qin Yue was busy all day and shouted when she returned home. "Little Alice, we are back!"


    A ping-pong sound came from the study. Alice stumbled out with her round and white feet bare. She immediately helped Oscar take off his cloak. "Master, you are busy all day. Are you tired? I will roast a big roast duck by myself and let you taste it."


    "Little Alice''s cooking skills are of course beyond reproach!" Qin Yue chuckled, "But I have to take a bath first."


    Qin Yue shook her slender waist and plump hips and walked into the bathroom step by step. From inside, there was a figure taking off clothes, and a few minutes later, there was a sound of water.


    Oscar touched his nose and smiled bitterly. Qin Yue really treated Oscar''s house as her own home. Even when taking a bath, she would take care of men''s feelings.


    As long as a normal man hears the sound of water and thinks of Qin Yue''s enchanting and hot figure, he will probably have wild thoughts and be distracted.


    Qin Yue came out in a long robe, with wet red hair casually scattered around her waist. She didn''t wear glasses, and her eyes were full of water waves. She was less intellectual and more charming. Her enchanting face was rosy, and there was a touch of snow-white chasm looming on the magnificent arc supported by her chest.


    Alice was a little dazed and praised sincerely: "Sister Qin is so beautiful. She is the most beautiful person Alice has ever seen."


    "Little Alice is too modest. You are not bad at all."


    Alice was dejected and said a little frustrated: "I am far behind my sister."


    Qin Yue is a rare beauty. In comparison, Alice is a little different. In addition, Alice''s body is not open, and it is a little immature, so it is far less lethal to men than Qin Yue.


    Alice''s current appearance is just an appearance.


    When the blood power is fully awakened, it will be a completely different scene.


    There have been one or two records of [Death Body] in history. Such people are often mediocre, even ugly in appearance, and dull in wisdom.


    When the blood awakens, it immediately turns into a butterfly, with new energy and talents, which no one can match.


    Alice has not yet awakened, but she is already very beautiful, talented, and has so much power that it overflows from her body.


    Her future is unimaginable.


    At most two or three years, when Alice is around 18 years old, the evil power in her blood will be completely awakened. Whenever Oscar thinks of this, he has a little worry.


    The preparation time is too short.


    Oscar didn''t know if there was a way to suppress Alice. When the blood power was fully activated, Alice''s temperament would be impacted by the huge force, and she would inevitably become cold-blooded, even ruthless and bloodthirsty.


    "Let''s eat!"


    Alice brought out the roasted goose, which was golden and shiny, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The tempting aroma made people''s appetites grow. With four or five exquisite side dishes and the best rum bought specially, it would be a good dinner.


    Alice volunteered to do it herself. It took a lot of effort to separate the roast goose and select the fattest goose leg to put in Oscar''s bowl, "Master, please eat!"


    "It''s cut so well!"


    "It tastes even better!"


    Alice laughed triumphantly, and the sound was as pleasant as a silver bell.


    Oscar''s sense of loss flashed across his heart. Alice''s cute and innocent smile has become an indispensable part of his life.


    Oscar lived a lifetime, and always felt that his mentality had changed. He was a crazier magic fanatic than Qin Yue, but now he has let it go. No matter how powerful the magic is, what''s the use?


    In comparison, Oscar hopes to see Alice happy.


    If one day, this cute and innocent face disappears and is replaced by a terrifying demon, what should I do?


    Qin Yue found that Oscar''s eyes were particularly soft and warm when he looked at Alice. She felt a little uncomfortable, and was filled with a faint sadness and a little sour.


    She envied the girl very much and said to herself: "Little Alice is so lucky to have such a good man to love and protect her..."


    Alice didn''t notice the change in their mood. She was very satisfied with her current life, but she thought of her special physique. It was a luxury to get married and have children forever, so she couldn''t help but feel very sad.


    If... the young master can get together with sister Qin Yue.


    This may be a good thing for Alice!


    Qin Yue has a good personality. If she becomes a young lady, she will definitely take care of Alice and will not exclude Alice.


    In this way, Alice will not have to worry about losing the young master!Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.


    The more Alice looks at Qin Yue, the more she looks like a young lady. She is very envious and a little worried.


    Three people.


    Each has his own worries.


    Each has his own thoughts.


    But none of them showed it, because the atmosphere of the dinner was very good. When it was about to end, a mercenary came to the door and delivered a wax-sealed letter.


    "There is a letter from the headquarters."


    "It''s for you!"


    The headquarters of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group is located in Snow City, with six branches, one of which is in White City. Because the Meditation Incense is selling well, the mercenary group has received a large sum of money. Oscar has attracted the attention of the top management. The headquarters hopes that Oscar will go directly to Snow City to serve.


    In response to this.


    Oscar politely refused.


    Baisong Town is too small, Oscar will leave sooner or later, but he does not want to serve in the Snow Wolf Mercenary. He signed a one-year mercenary contract purely for the sake of the one-eyed man. Oscar didn''t want to be bound by any force. When the one-year term was up, he would leave the Snow Wolf Mercenaries.


    Oscar asked by the way: "Has anything special happened recently?"


    The mercenary replied: "The orcs are getting more and more rampant. Several villages and caravans were attacked. Today, a village was bloodbathed. Dozens of survivors disappeared in the process of being sent back."


    It was very strange that only the wolf cavalry was fighting guerrilla warfare and the main force of the orcs was not seen for a long time. The vanguard was stagnant, neither advancing nor retreating, and the main force was not coming out. This may be related to the failure of the city capture plan, which made the orcs hesitant about the plan of invading the south.


    This conjecture is not groundless.


    The Frost Plateau is not a monolithic entity. The orc tribes are hostile to each other. The Song of Hell may not dare to take the risk of invading the south. If too much power is consumed and no corresponding results are achieved, then other tribes that are eyeing it may take advantage of the opportunity.


    "The wolf cavalry has an intriguing style!"


    "Why?"


    "Didn''t you notice? The main force of the orcs has not arrived yet, and the wolf cavalry has become more and more impetuous recently, so they attack village caravans everywhere. Obviously, they want to achieve results. They will definitely not stop their actions."


    "What should we do?"


    Oscar shrugged and said, "I can''t even catch a shadow of the wolf cavalry. What can I do? Besides, fighting against the orcs is the military''s business. We can''t intervene too much. We just need to pay more attention to the surroundings."


    "Yes!" The mercenary remembered something and took out a stack of information from his arms and presented it. "According to your request, the intelligence personnel got the relevant information about the mayor, all here."


    Oscar had no hostility towards Wei Nan. He just wanted to check his background and understand this person, not to deal with him.


    "Okay, thank you for your hard work."


    The mercenary was rewarded with a few silver coins and left happily.


    Oscar opened the information.


    Wei Nan was born in 960 of the new calendar. His family was very poor. His parents were long-term workers who did manual labor. Wei Nan was interested in magic since he was a child. He almost spent all his family''s money to pay for his tuition and entered the White City Warlock Academy.


    Unfortunately, he did not get any reward. Wei Nan remained an apprentice until he was over 30 years old after graduation. His family was poor, his father died of illness, and his mother died of worry and fatigue.


    Wei Nan obviously lacked talent and had no material foundation. Perhaps choosing the path of magic was a mistake.


    He had no money to buy resources and books. He was an apprentice for more than ten years and could only help the formal warlocks, hoping to learn some knowledge from his employer.


    At about the age of 35, Wei Nan''s life reached a turning point.


    This year, Wei Nan got rid of his apprentice status and became a magician. In 4 years, he made rapid progress and became a master of magician level. At the same time, he joined the army and became a military warlock. He made considerable military achievements and was awarded the status of Black Iron Noble at the age of 41.


    From a commoner to a noble.


    Wei Nan turned over a new leaf and was proud of himself.


    Judging from Wei Nan''s growth experience, this person is very patient and can work hard for ten years just to learn a little knowledge. This person has a very tough character and has also gained some kind of adventure, so he has achieved what he has today.


    Oscar did not delve into this.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    The next day.


    The Snow Wolf Mercenaries held a press conference and Qin Yue announced the action plan. The mercenaries planned to wipe out the iron-armed apes that obstructed business and occupied the northwest.


    This announcement attracted the support of the townspeople. This group of iron-armed apes has been entrenched for more than ten years. Every time a caravan or adventurer passes through the area, they always have to take a detour, which is very troublesome.


    This powerful monster is ultimately a disaster, especially the iron-armed ape, a guy who is good at climbing and jumping.


    The 7-meter-high wall of Baisong Town is useless to them. If the iron-armed ape goes crazy, the town will suffer heavy losses.


    Some people also expressed doubts.


    The power of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries in Baisong Town is limited. Even if they can really eliminate the Iron Arm Ape in the forest, they will pay a heavy price for it, which is completely not worth the loss.


    If this action is not hype for some purpose, then the planner''s brain has been stepped on by a donkey!


    Qin Yue announced another important recruitment information.


    30-80 silver per day, high price recruitment of warlocks, unlimited number. A warlock with a ring of 10, if he does not have special talents, will only have a monthly income of about 30 or 40 silver. Now he is paid a month''s salary in one day, and many warlocks immediately come to sign up.


    Oscar also succeeded in negotiating with the city defense army and rented 4 heavy crossbows for a large sum of money!


    The heavy crossbow has an effective range of more than 1,000 meters. It uses black iron ridge armor-piercing arrows, which are powerful enough to break gold and stone. Even if the Iron Arm Demon Ape has copper skin and iron bones, it will be severely injured instantly by the impact of a 3-meter-long all-metal heavy crossbow arrow. There is no doubt about this.


    "There are 500 mercenaries participating in the operation." A mercenary reported to Oscar: "There are 250 muskets in the regiment, and we rented 250 more from the armory, so that everyone can prepare a musket."


    Oscar nodded and said: "It is very troublesome to load the musket, remember to bring more bows and arrows for backup."


    "Yes!"


    Everything is ready.


    Oscar went to the scene in person.


    A rocky mountain with a long and slanting slope of about 200 meters, with a wide field of vision and not easy to be attacked.


    There are a lot of boulders on the top of the mountain. When the warlock arranged the magic circle overnight, the mercenaries took local materials, moved some rolling stones, stacked them on the hillside, and assembled 4 heavy crossbow carts and covered them with bunkers.


    Oscar left another spell to cover the breath on the top of the mountain.


    Under the hillside, the snow is thick, and the magic circle is engraved on the stone slab and buried in the snow, which is basically not discovered by people. Once the iron-armed apes are attracted, they will be trapped in the illusion array below and will not know which direction is east, south, west, or north.


    The mercenaries use heavy crossbows to shoot from the hillside, and then use muskets and crossbows to assist. Even if the fish caught in the net rush up the hillside, the mercenaries can push the rolling stones to resist and wipe out all the iron-armed apes.


    These mercenaries are generally equipped with long-range weapons.


    If the iron-armed apes are really lured here, even without the illusion array and heavy crossbows, 500 mercenaries can eliminate more than a dozen iron-armed apes with their ambush and weapon advantages, but there will be greater losses.


    With the assistance of heavy crossbows and magic arrays, it is basically guaranteed to be foolproof.


    When Oscar was making careful arrangements, a mercenary ran over and shouted, "Brother Oscar, someone from the group is here!"

 Chapter 50 Emergency

    Oscar was surprised and immediately went back to the hotel to see this person.


    This was a big and strong man, nearly 2 meters tall, with bronze skin, a face full of flesh, and a few scars, and a somewhat ferocious face.


    Like an iron tower, or a fat and strong bear.


    There is no other person in Baisong Town with a body shape that is almost comparable to that of a half-orc.


    "Hello! My name is Meng Hu!"


    As soon as the strong man opened his mouth, it hurt people''s eardrums.


    There is no mistake.


    The one-eyed man is surnamed Meng!


    The bear-like man is the son of the one-eyed man.


    Meng Hu wore a severely worn light armor, his face was dusty, with a short sword on his waist, a four-foot-long bow, a pot of iron-backed wolf tooth arrows, and a heavy long-handled spear axe, exuding a fierce aura all over his body.


    This is the master who assisted Oscar.


    Meng Hu is only 29 years old, very brave, honest and upright, and is highly valued by the mercenary group. The old leader married his daughter to her. The two have been married for more than 7 years and have a little daughter.


    Some people even think that Meng Hu will be the successor of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries.


    In addition to being brave and upright, Meng Hu is also a top-notch player!


    He became a martial arts master at the age of 24, and broke through to 29 stars last year, 2 levels away from becoming a great martial arts master! Meng Hu has more than 10 years of rising period, so becoming a great martial arts master is a foregone conclusion.


    "Are you Oscar?"


    "Yes, it''s me!"


    Meng Hu said in a muffled voice, "The letter clearly said that there was a master, how come he has become a little kid! I said in advance that I came to this remote town because of my father''s words. If I feel bored, I will leave immediately!"


    Meng Hu does not beat around the bush, and says what he has to say, which makes people feel reliable.


    "There is always a misunderstanding about warlocks in the world, and people always think that age is proportional to ability." Oscar said this, with a smile on his face, and said confidently: "This is a wrong idea, I will help you correct it!"


    Seeing that the boy was very arrogant, Meng Hu couldn''t help but be interested: "I hope you have this ability!"


    "Don''t stand there, prepare wine and food!" Oscar clapped his hands and called the mercenaries on both sides to entertain Meng Hu, saying apologetically: "You have come all the way here, I should have entertained you personally and washed away the dust for you, but I just happened to have an important mission."


    "Forget it! We mercenaries don''t play this game!" Meng Hu waved his hand, and then asked: "What mission are you doing?"


    "Are you interested?"


    "That depends on what the mission is!" Meng Hu said carelessly: "If it''s killing snow chickens and snow sheep, forget it!"


    "It''s not that we don''t kill chickens and sheep, but it''s almost the same. We kill monkeys."


    Meng Hu was stunned, "Kill monkeys? What monkeys?"


    "Iron Arm Demon Ape!"


    Meng Hu had a contemptuous expression on his face. Hearing this, he glared at me. He was stunned for two seconds before saying, "Are you teasing me?"


    "Are you scared?"


    "Bah!" Meng Hu shouted, "There is nothing in the world that can scare me! I want to see what you want to do!"


    They are indeed father and son!


    This guy has the same personality as his father!


    Meng Hu is a 29-star martial artist. He is good at bows and arrows, and he also likes to use heavy long weapons. He carries a black iron spear axe with him, which weighs 50 kilograms.


    The so-called spear axe is actually a weapon that combines a spear and an axe, which can stab and chop.


    A sure-fire mission.


    Now with Meng Hu''s help, the success rate is even higher!


    Meng Hu came all the way from Xuecheng, without a minute''s rest, and immediately followed Oscar out of the city to the place where the trap was set.


    Everyone worked hard for a day and a night, and the preparations were basically completed.


    The next day, at 10 a.m.


    The hunting plan began.


    The mercenaries arrived at the designated location by snowmobile or skis.


    A total of 500 mercenaries gathered on the hillside, took the big rocks on the top of the mountain, piled them into a line of defense, found shrubs and branches, and put on white snow camouflage uniforms to completely cover themselves.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    The muskets were loaded and ready to fire at any time.


    Oscar worked hard on the spell template.


    A 10th-ring warlock could not prepare a large-scale lethal spell, and ordinary spells were ineffective against the iron-armed ape. Oscar hesitated again and again, and constructed a 12th-ring spell [Earth Dragon Roar], plus two auxiliary healing spells.


    The 12th-ring spell [Earth Dragon Roar] is a spell without lethality.


    The principle of this spell is very simple, using mana to simulate the roar of an earth dragon.


    The earth dragon is a high-level magic beast with dragon blood. Its roar has a certain deterrent and coercive effect. When it is used at a critical moment, it can deter or temporarily scare away the iron-armed ape.


    Although it has no lethality, it can have an unexpected effect.


    "Almost done!" Oscar stood in the cold wind with his hands behind his back, "Activate the magic circle!"


    Qin Yue has the strongest magic power and is responsible for activating the magic circle.


    The stone slabs that construct the magic circle are all buried in the snow, and there is no abnormality on the surface.


    Qin Yue recited the spell, waved the Green Forest Staff, and the magic circle was successfully activated. A layer of invisible energy was emitted from the magic circle and projected towards the direction of the mountain forest.


    Everything was implemented according to the plan.


    Meng Hu witnessed everything and was very surprised. Mercenaries often deal with magic beasts, but they always take the initiative to find magic beasts, set up ambushes at designated locations, and let the magic beasts take the bait themselves, which is very rare.


    Not to mention, using magic to lure out the magic beasts!


    "Everyone, get ready!"


    "In about ten minutes, the Iron Arm Ape will appear!"


    Everyone held their breath and stared, their hearts pounding. Thinking of facing a group of fierce monsters, they couldn''t help but feel a little nervous.


    Suddenly, a shrill scream sounded, suddenly tearing the silence of the wilderness!


    A glowing fireball shot into the air and suddenly exploded, leaving a lot of red smoke - signal!


    A distress signal!


    This is the military''s distress signal!


    Everyone''s face changed drastically.


    "The signal is very close!" Qin Yue asked in confusion: "What happened?"


    "An army was attacked!"


    "Quickly investigate!"


    Someone took out a telescope to observe, and his expression changed immediately: "Oh! Damn it! There is trouble, the Orc Wolf Cavalry has appeared!"


    This place is less than 20 miles away from Baisong Town, and the Wolf Cavalry actually appeared here!


    Everyone was panicked.


    Qin Yue was even more confused: "I... I have activated the magic circle, what should I do now?"


    "Retreat quickly!"


    "The plan must be terminated, those are the wolf cavalry of the Orcs!"


    "When we deal with the Iron Arm Demon Ape, they will definitely come to disrupt the situation!"


    "The army is under attack!"


    Mercenary Seven had no opinion and started to discuss.


    The wolf cavalry had been away for many days, moving between other towns, attacking villages and caravans, and never thought that they would appear near Baisong Town again!


    No one expected this sudden situation!


    Oscar walked out of the bunker and shouted, "Don''t panic! Stay where you are! There is a magic circle on the hillside that hides the breath, and it is against the wind now. The wolf cavalry can''t find us. If we are locked while moving in the wild, we can''t outrun the wolf cavalry!"


    A mercenary shouted, "An army is under attack by orcs. Are we going to watch them die?"


    "How many wolf cavalry are there?"


    "About a hundred!"


    "Meng Hu!" Oscar thought for a few seconds and ordered, "Call a hundred brothers, we will go to help!"


    Meng Hu stood up without hesitation and shouted in a loud voice, "The first team will go!"


    Qin Yue ran over to persuade him, "This is too dangerous! The other side is the wolf cavalry of the orcs. More than a hundred people will not be able to do anything at all!"


    "An army is under attack by orcs. We can''t watch them die." Oscar looked around and said, "Don''t worry, the wolf cavalry is not all there.


    There is snow everywhere. The wolf cavalry has no snow tools, so it must be inconvenient to move. As long as the speed is fast enough, there is a chance to rescue the other side."


    Meng Hu shouted to everyone: "Get ready! Let''s go!"


    Oscar put on his hat and walked to the front, pulled down his goggles, and covered his face with a mask. Meng Hu pulled him onto the snowmobile, and the rest of the hundred or so people rode on bikes, stepped on skis, and slid down the long snow slope with their snow sticks.


    A few kilometers ahead.


    A group of soldiers fled in the snow in a panic. The soldiers were wearing black armor. They were the Black Armor Army of Baicheng.


    The leader was Cheng Wu!


    In the early morning, a caravan near Baisong Town was attacked by orcs, so they sent out a distress signal.


    Cheng Wu had been holding back his anger for a long time. When he knew that it was the orcs who did it, he immediately bypassed the mayor and led his Black Armor Army to rescue him privately. As a result, when he arrived, the caravan had been slaughtered. Only more than a hundred wolf cavalrymen were left to collect the spoils at the scene.


    The two armies collided head-on.


    A fierce battle started immediately.


    Cheng Wu was too naive!


    How could the Black Armor Army resist the fighting power of the Wolf Cavalry?


    This was a one-sided battle. Although there were only more than a hundred Wolf Cavalry, more than two hundred Black Armor Army soldiers fell in two rounds of attack, while only three or four Wolf Cavalry soldiers were knocked down!


    When they realized the huge gap in strength, the Black Armor Army immediately chose to retreat.


    "Go!"


    Cheng Wu saw that his brothers who usually lived together day and night were pounced on by the wolves, had their throats bitten off, or were beheaded by the Wolf Cavalry who rushed up. His eyes were not only red.


    At this moment, he deeply realized that Oscar''s words were correct.


    The gap between the fighting power of the Black Armor Army and the Wolf Cavalry was too big!


    The Black Armor Army usually dealt with ordinary Orcs, who were just hungry refugees of the Orcs. They were not even an army. If they encountered a well-trained army, especially an elite force like the Wolf Cavalry, they would only be slaughtered.


    Gel sat on the back of the galloping war wolf and laughed, "The human army is so weak!"


    He finished speaking.


    Gel pulled open and shot the last arrow, which directly pierced a black-armored soldier through the body, and the warm blood splashed all over Cheng Wu''s face. This half-orc leader was really terrible.


    The arrows never missed.


    It was like an invitation to the god of death.


    At least 20 black-armored soldiers fell under Gel''s arrows. Cheng Wu brought out 500 black-armored soldiers, but only more than 200 were left! One person''s recklessness caused hundreds of soldiers to die in vain!


    Cheng Wu was filled with guilt.


    Gel waved to a subordinate and said, "You go to intercept the front!"


    "Yes!"


    Fifty wolf cavalrymen accelerated forward, rushed out of the array, circled in front of the black-armored soldiers, and directly blocked their way.


    "Damn it!"


    "Let''s fight!"


    The soldiers were in a desperate situation, and the ferocity in their bones was aroused. If they continued to flee, they would all die. Now they risked their lives to fight, maybe they could drag a few people down with them!


    The black armored army was surrounded, and immediately formed an array, spread out their shields and spears, and made a posture of fighting to the death.


    Geer was a little surprised.


    Although they were pitifully weak, they were courageous!


    The wolf cavalry was of high quality, and no one took the initiative to attack without the order of the leader.


    Gel sat on the back of a tall war wolf, threw away his longbow, drew a heavy long knife from his waist, and said in human language, "Human, those who surrender will not be killed!"


    "Dream on!" Cheng Wu shouted angrily, "Even if I die, I will never surrender to the orcs!"


    The human army was ready to die. Gel smiled coldly and said, "Yes, you look like a warrior. In this case..." At this point, he suddenly put the knife back, "Luka!"


    Gel''s deputy, a sturdy orc, stepped out.


    Luka took off the two short weapons hanging on the back of the wolf, held the hammer in his left hand and the axe in his right hand, and walked to the ground.


    The human race was stunned.


    What is this for?

 Chapter 51 Battle in the Wilderness

    Gel is an orc from the Hell Song Clan!


    A descendant of the glorious Hammer King, he regards honor above all else!


    Gel was not satisfied with a simple victory, and said in a joking tone: "Orcs have always respected brave warriors. Now there is a chance for a fair fight. If you are really brave warriors, defeat him!"


    The orc named Luka gave up the warg and walked to the human race, cursing in poor human language: "Weak human monkey!" As he said that, he raised his right axe and pointed at a warrior who looked the tallest in the crowd, "You come!"


    The orc had good eyesight, this was the deputy battalion commander Zhao Jun!


    Cheng Wu held him and said: "Old Zhao, don''t go!"


    Zhao Jun was a man of blood, and he immediately stood up: "Damn it, I''m not afraid of him!"


    After speaking.


    He walked out with a two-handed sword.


    Luka''s hammer and axe collided with each other, indicating that he was coming!


    Break the army and kill!


    Zhao Jun kicked his feet and rushed out like a rhino. The martial arts practiced in the army are mainly fierce and fierce, which is different from ordinary warriors.


    This move of breaking the army is a very difficult martial art, and only officers with considerable strength can learn it.


    Facing the sharp attack, Luka did not dodge or evade. His right hand flashed a cold light, and the axe blade and the sword blade collided with each other, sparks flew everywhere, causing a bang, and the agitated true energy blew up the surrounding snow, and suddenly there was a white mist.


    Zhao Jun took the initiative, but was repelled by a move!


    Luka seized the flaw, stepped forward, and hit the right shoulder armor with the war hammer. The sound of bone breaking sounded, and Zhao Jun''s entire shoulder was smashed. The big sword flew out of his hand, circled in the air for a few circles, and inserted into the snow.


    The human race was shocked.


    "Roar! Roar! Roar!"


    The orcs hit the weapons in their hands and roared in unison.


    The two fought in a flash, and Zhao Jun was defeated in one round!


    Gel shook his head in disappointment, "Too weak!"


    Zhao Jun stood up with difficulty: "I... haven''t lost yet!"


    "Can you still hold the sword?"


    Zhao Jun''s shoulder was broken. Even if he survived, his right hand was completely disabled. He was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were red, and he shouted: "My left hand can be used!"


    "Enough!" Cheng Wu shouted: "Let''s go together! Fight them!"


    "At worst, we will die together!"


    "Fight!"


    "Kill!"


    The human race was about to rush out.


    "Roar!"


    The orcs roared together, and the powerful momentum forced the human race back again.


    "Stupid human!" Gel showed deep contempt for the human who was filled with righteous indignation and eager to try, "A brave and fearless warrior has dignity that cannot be defiled. Send the sword back and let him fight again!"


    The orc threw the big sword back.


    Zhao Jun picked up the sword, roared loudly, and rushed over with staggering steps.


    No suspense.


    He was knocked away again, and his left hand was also disabled.


    Zhao Jun fell in the snow, spitting blood. The orc stepped on his chest, raised his war hammer high, and roared as a winner.


    "Bastard! You will die!"


    Luka grinned and hit his right knee with a hammer, and the sound of bone breaking rang out.


    "Ah¡ª¡ª!"


    Zhao Jun screamed miserably.


    Another hammer.


    The left knee was also broken!


    The orcs seemed to like this entertainment show very much, and they all roared excitedly.


    "Kill me if you can!"


    "Kill me if you can!"Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.


    Zhao Jun roared hysterically.


    "Beast!"


    "Beast!"


    "Don''t stop me!"


    "I''m going to kill him!"


    ** Naked insult!


    The Black Armored Army was furious!


    Luka felt that he had had enough fun, and with one axe he fell, beheading the Zhao army!


    Cheng Wu was the first to shout: "Fight me if you dare!"


    "I''ll do it!"


    "Let me go!"


    "Fight me if you can!"


    Everyone shouted and asked for a fight. Regardless of whether they were Luka''s opponents or not, their compatriots were slaughtered by the Orcs in front of them. This was extremely humiliating. They were all brave soldiers, how could they tolerate it!


    Geer shook his head and said: "I won''t give you a second chance, you lose!" After that, he waved his hand and said, "Kill them all!"


    The wolf cavalry was about to charge.


    Suddenly a shrill scream sounded.


    An iron-backed wolf tooth arrow shot over, and the orc Luka''s chest was directly pierced.


    Geer was shocked and angry!


    His best subordinate was killed by an arrow!


    The mercenaries were rushing towards them on snowmobiles or skis, and the wolf cavalry responded quickly. Dozens of wolf cavalry were about to fight the human mercenaries. Oscar raised his hand, and a string of spells triggered the spell template, and finally formed a spell.


    12th ring spell - Earth Dragon Roar!


    A majestic roar exploded in everyone''s ears.


    This spell prepared for the Iron Arm Ape actually played an important role here!


    The wargs were terrified and ran around!


    The earth dragon is a high-level magic beast!


    It is also a dragon magic beast!


    These mounts obviously have not been trained to resist pressure, and they immediately thought that an earth dragon was coming, and they were all in a mess.


    Oscar released the spell with his left hand, and drew the revolver from his waist with his right hand, aiming the thick muzzle at an orc. The special bullet was as thick as a finger, and dozens of nearly a hundred tiny steel needles burst out, hitting the upper body of an orc. In the splashing blood, the wolf cavalry screamed and fell to the ground.


    Cheng Wu was stunned when he saw Oscar coming to rescue: "Is it you?"


    Meng Hu pulled the bow and shot a wolf''s knee with an arrow.


    The wolf howled miserably, and the orc on it fell down directly.


    The mercenaries used muskets, which had good lethality at a range of about 150 meters. Although it was difficult to kill orcs with one shot, it could cause damage to them, especially when hitting the war wolf, which would affect the mobility of the war wolf.


    Cheng Wu found a glimmer of hope: "Kill!"


    The black armored army attacked the flustered wolf cavalry, allowing the two groups of humans to join together. The mercenaries pulled the soldiers onto the snowmobiles. Some mercenaries threw out ignited explosive packs, and several deafening explosions sounded, making the wolf cavalry even more chaotic.


    Most soldiers got on the snowmobiles.


    Cheng Wu stayed with a small group of people, "You guys go!"


    "Battalion commander!"


    "Let''s go together!"


    "Go quickly, otherwise no one can go!" Cheng Wu saluted and shouted loudly: "Help us get revenge!"


    "Battalion commander!"


    The soldiers burst into tears.


    Cheng Wu showed a resolute look, and led 40 or 50 soldiers, roaring and rushing towards the wolf cavalry.


    Meng Hu decisively ordered: "Let''s go!"


    The mercenaries led more than 100 rescued soldiers and headed towards the hillside.


    Seeing a large group of prey being rescued by mercenaries, Geer roared in anger: "We must kill them all!"


    "You are the ones who will die!"


    Cheng Wu launched a charge, chopped down three wolf cavalry, and was finally knocked to the ground by a wolf, bitten on the neck, and suffered fatal injuries. The other soldiers were extremely brave. At this moment, life and death had long been put aside. What they had to do was to buy time for their companions to evacuate.


    In the end.


    Dozens of people killed 6 wolf cavalry and 5 wolf wolves, and finally shed blood on the battlefield, all died heroically!


    Cheng Wu fell to the ground, already bloody, still holding a weapon in his hand,


    Unexpectedly.


    Fighting against the orcs with passion.


    But it ended like this!


    A huge war wolf came up to him and kept sniffing. Gel sat on it and looked down at this particularly brave human warrior. Cheng Wu grinned, his mouth full of blood, and said indistinctly: "Long live the human race!"


    "Do you think they are saved?" Gel pierced Cheng Wu''s chest with a gun, and then said to his subordinates: "Chase, don''t leave any alive!"


    The wolf cavalry began to chase after the smell, and came to the bottom of the hillside a few minutes later. The wolf kept sniffing and wandering around.


    The snow here is very thick, and it is not convenient for the wolf to move. The humans on the hillside have prepared a large number of muskets and crossbows, as well as a barrier made of rolling stones. At critical moments, they can push the rolling stones to stop the wolf cavalry from advancing.


    It is difficult for ninety wolf cavalry to attack!


    "Where are the others?"


    "Almost there!"


    About four or five minutes later, a large group of galloping figures appeared in the distance. There were more than 400 wolf cavalrymen. The scattered wolf cavalrymen were all gathered together. With a brave and strong man like Gel leading them, they would definitely be able to wipe out all the humans on the hillside in one round.


    "Our situation is not good!"


    The mercenary found the approaching wolf cavalry team.


    Oscar didn''t say anything, with his hands behind his back, staring at the direction of the woods for several minutes. Finally, he saw some agile figures running fast, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the stone in his heart was put down, "Don''t worry, our reinforcements are here!"


    Two groups of wolf cavalrymen turned around.


    Gel raised his knife and shouted loudly: "Wolf cavalry, get ready!"


    Four hundred and ninety wolf cavalrymen immediately formed a charge formation. This fierce team was about to launch a death charge. The human race on the hillside quickly raised their muskets or crossbows to prepare for the charge of the wolf cavalry.


    Just when Gel was about to issue the charge order,


    "Ah!"


    A furious roar came from behind, and the wargs panicked. These wargs were only level 1 monsters, and the roar was obviously from a high-level monster. High-level monsters have a natural pressure on low-level monsters.


    The wolf cavalry team was scattered again.


    "What''s going on!"


    "Not good!"


    "It''s the Iron Arm Demon Ape!"


    A millstone-sized boulder weighing several hundred kilograms, like a football shot at full force, hit them at a very fast speed. The two wolf cavalry were knocked over directly, and their bones were broken on the spot.


    What a terrifying power!


    The orcs saw the attackers clearly.


    A group of fierce and majestic apes appeared behind them, with skulls closer to cones, rough and ferocious faces, gray-white fur, and the most prominent feature was their arms. The arms of these apes were longer than their legs, very thick, and hairless, as if they were made of metal.


    There were 36 in total!


    The information the mercenaries had was wrong.


    There were not more than a dozen adult iron-armed apes in the forest, but more than 30!


    There was a special one among the iron-armed apes.


    It was stronger than its ordinary counterparts, with silver-white hair and blood-red ferocious eyes. This was the iron-armed demon ape! It was attracted by the breath of the provocateur, but did not find the other party. It beat its chest angrily, and its violent and irritable emotions had no way to vent. Finally, its eyes fell on the most conspicuous wolf cavalry.


    Roar!


    The iron-armed demon ape roared, and 35 iron-armed apes bounced out like bullets, rushing towards the wolf cavalry at the same time, picking up the boulders scattered on the ground, and throwing hundreds of kilograms of heavy objects easily, hitting the wolf cavalry heavily.


    The orcs were at a loss!


    Gel roared: "Don''t mess around! Kill the iron-armed apes first!"

 Chapter 52 Death in the Face of the Enemy

    Eight of the wolf riders were knocked over before they could even fight back.


    The Iron Arm Ape could not find the boulder, and used all four limbs to run wildly in the snow, like a locomotive out of control, and crashed heavily into the wolf rider. At the moment of attack, the Iron Arm Ape''s thick forearms were directly metalized, not only could it resist the attack, but also its power was comparable to that of a heavy hammer, and it could blow up the wolf''s head with one punch.


    The Iron Arm Demon Ape directly pulled down an orc, and tore it in half in mid-air like tearing a piece of paper.


    The orc was not a vegetarian, and immediately swung his sword to fight back.


    The Iron Arm Ape is a gold-type melee-type level 2 monster, and its combat power is equivalent to that of three or two one-eyed beasts. Before the Iron Arm Ape''s power is exhausted, its arms will remain in the form of steel, not only looking like steel, but also not much less durable.


    This can''t be cut open at all!


    If the wolf cavalry wanted to hurt the iron-armed ape, they could only use the impact of the wolf cavalry, plus the brute force and true qi of the half-orcs, to directly attack the body of the iron-armed ape, attacking the neck or eyes, these weak parts.


    One round of confrontation ended!


    Twenty half-orcs were knocked to the ground, and only one of the iron-armed apes died. Gel, who was a great martial artist, killed it with a knife filled with true qi. The rest of the iron-armed apes were attacked by the wolf cavalry and only suffered some skin injuries.


    The power of more than thirty iron-armed apes cannot be ignored, and the wolf cavalry is also very powerful!


    This will be a cruel and bloody battle!


    The iron-armed demon ape took the lead in launching another attack. The wolf cavalry had no chance to retreat because the iron-armed ape was too fast and would throw objects to attack, so they could only bite the bullet and fight.


    The war wolf under Gel''s seat jumped, raising snowflakes all over the sky, and a pale white knife light suddenly appeared, attacking the iron-armed demon ape.


    The Iron Arm Demon Ape was very agile. While dodging, it swung its arms like a heavy hammer. In a flash, Gel pulled the War Wolf to avoid the powerful pendulum, and swept out with its right hand, slashing the Iron Arm Demon Ape''s chest. The knife light shook the nearby snow.


    Blood sprayed!


    A deep wound!


    The Iron Arm Demon Ape was furious, kicked the ground with its legs, and rushed forward, using its body as a weapon. Gel and the wolf were knocked out 2 meters and fell heavily to the ground.


    The Iron Arm Demon Ape jumped up and hammered down with its arms


    Gel rolled away, and the War Wolf took its place, being beaten to pieces and brains splattered.


    Gel rolled a few meters away, and immediately stood firm and pounced. Two knife lights, extremely fast, fell on the Iron Arm Demon Ape almost in no particular order. The strong true energy shocked the Iron Arm Demon Ape and made it retreat.


    "Roar!"


    The body of the Iron Arm Demon Ape was stained with blood, and a violent aura radiated from its body.


    The silver hair turned bright red, and the speed was several times faster.


    "Violence?"


    Gel was very shocked. The violent skill was only possessed by very few monsters. It was too late to be shocked. The Iron Arm Demon Ape punched him in the chest.


    Gel spit out a mouthful of blood, like a broken sack thrown into the air, and hit a boulder heavily.


    The Iron Arm Demon Ape was about to pursue the victory. Two wolf cavalrymen attacked from the left and right. The Iron Arm Demon Ape directly smashed the two blades, grabbed one in each hand, and carried the galloping war wolf alive. His feet moved in the snow, and with a roar, he threw the wolf cavalry and the wolf away.


    At this time, Gel had already stood up.


    The Iron Arm Demon Ape''s punch just now would have crushed ordinary people to pieces, but Gel relied on his strong true energy to withstand it. Even so, it caused considerable damage.


    Gel opened his eyes, but his eye sockets were completely blood-red.


    He was also desperate.


    The tricks of the Hell Song Tribe that he was using now were passed down for countless years. Legend has it that they were created by the great Hammer King ancestor Gulu, which can stimulate potential and instantly increase the true energy. Gel was originally a 36-star great martial artist, but now he has directly reached 40 stars in the Furious Blade, and his true energy is more than half as strong!


    The long sword opened.


    A red blade slashed at the Iron Arm Demon Ape, causing a huge wound. The Iron Arm Demon Ape was also irrational in its violent state, and the two powerful guys fought fiercely.


    This battle was too fierce.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.


    Oscar stood on the hillside, and the wolf cavalry and the Iron Arm Ape were fighting hard. Although the individual combat power of the Iron Arm Ape was very strong, the number gap was too big after all.


    The wolf cavalry was experienced and began to use group tactics. A dozen wolf cavalry took turns to kill an iron-armed ape, causing the iron-armed ape to be severely wounded. Several of them died under the swords, and the rest were also seriously injured.


    The wolf cavalry suffered nearly 100 casualties, and they occupied the position steadily and suppressed the monsters.


    When the combat power was excessive, several groups of wolf cavalry took the initiative to leave the battle circle and go around to the front to prevent the human race from taking the opportunity to attack.


    Oscar raised his hand: "Heavy crossbows are ready!"


    The heavy crossbows were hidden in the bunkers, and the mercenaries quickly adjusted the angles.


    "Shoot!"


    "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"


    The 3-meter-long heavy crossbow arrows shot down from the snow slope and rushed into the wolf cavalry. One arrow went straight through the body of the war wolf, and then it was nailed deep into the second war wolf. Suddenly, blood appeared, and several wolf cavalry were killed.


    "Ger!"


    "The human race has heavy crossbows!"


    "Kill them quickly!"


    The heavy crossbow has a very long range and great lethality. Now the wolf cavalry is fighting with the iron-armed ape, and the human race shoots arrows in the back, then the consequences are unimaginable.


    Dozens of wolf cavalry launched a desperate charge on the snow slope. There were places on the snow slope where the snow was very thick. The war wolves were deep and shallow, and their speed was not fast at all.


    The mercenaries pushed the rolling stones down to block the advance of the orcs. When they entered the range, hundreds of muskets were divided into two groups and took turns shooting. The mercenaries were not very skilled in using firearms, and their marksmanship was not very good. The power of the muskets was relatively limited, but there were many of them and the attack density was high.


    Many wolf cavalry were shot and fell.


    These guys were very fierce. Some wolf cavalry were shot more than a dozen times. Because they did not hit the vital points, they still bravely moved forward and trudged on the snow slope. Several wolf cavalry took out bows and arrows to fight back.


    "Ah!"


    Several mercenaries screamed and fell to the ground after being shot by arrows!


    "I can''t handle dozens of them!" Meng Hu shouted angrily: "Did you grow up eating shit? Shoot me!"


    After saying that.


    He drew his bow and shot an arrow!


    A wolf cavalryman fell down in response!


    "Where is the warlock?"


    "Are you watching the show?"


    The warlocks hired by Oscar for a large sum of money had no idea that they would encounter such a situation. They were so scared that their legs went weak. Only Qin Yue bravely stood up and cast a wood-based [entanglement spell] to knock down a wolf cavalryman.


    Seeing this, other warlocks immediately stood up and cast spells.


    "Human warlocks!"


    "They also have warlocks!"


    The wolf cavalryman obviously didn''t expect that the warlocks had a very noble status in the human group and it was impossible for them to charge into battle like warriors, but they didn''t expect to meet them here.


    Failed!


    Most of the fifty wolf riders were dead on the snow slope, and only four or five rushed up, but were hacked to death by the mercenaries, and the heavy crossbows were still shooting.


    Because the intelligence said that there were more than a dozen iron-armed apes, Oscar was only equipped with forty heavy crossbow arrows for this mission, and now it seems that it is obviously not enough.


    The wolf riders suffered heavy casualties.


    The iron-armed apes fell to the ground one by one.


    In the end, only the iron-armed demon ape was left, which was covered with wounds. It had been fighting for so long that its strength was exhausted and it could not maintain its violent state. Even the metalization of its giant arms was gradually lifted.


    The iron-armed demon ape wanted to run.


    But it was too late.


    It killed so many wolf riders, and the orcs would not let it go. In the end, in a round of charging, the iron-armed demon ape was chopped to the ground and never stood up again.


    Gel was also seriously injured, and most of his energy was consumed. He stood on the blood-stained white wilderness, looking at the devastated surroundings. The corpses of wolf cavalry were scattered all over the place, and the war wolves that had lost their masters were wailing around the corpses.


    500 wolf cavalry.


    Only more than a hundred were left!


    Gel felt sad, he knew that he had failed!


    A sound came from the direction of Baisong Town, more than a thousand fully armed soldiers were rushing over, and they would surround this place in a few minutes.


    There were about 130 wolf cavalry left, although they were exhausted after a big battle, but they still had good combat effectiveness.


    If they wanted to fight to the death.


    The human race would not be comfortable!


    Oscar fought from the bunker and shouted to the wolf cavalry: "Gel, you have already lost! Go back to where the orcs should go!"


    The orcs are a race that respects the honor of warriors.


    Surrender is impossible.


    Gel showed a ferocious look: "Dream on!"


    Oscar frowned, as expected.


    This fanatical half-orc neither surrendered nor retreated, and chose to fight to the end!


    Gel threw away the broken long sword, pulled up a long spear from the ground, tied the flag of the Song of Hell, found an ownerless wolf to ride on, raised the blood-stained long spear high, and roared loudly.


    "Wolf cavalry!"


    "Prepare for battle!"


    Needless to say, none of the half-orcs were afraid, and all responded collectively. More than a hundred exhausted wolf cavalry reorganized their equipment and arranged in a charge formation.


    The cold wind blew the flag of the Song of Hell.


    More than a hundred scarred wolf cavalry fell into silence, waiting for the order to charge.


    Gel''s face was covered with blood, and waves of tearing pain came from his chest. The Iron Arm Demon Ape broke at least three ribs with a hammer.


    This strong half-orc, however, showed no fear. He held his spear tightly, with a determined look on his face.


    Gel pointed his knife at the only underage subordinate and said, "Go back to the plateau to report!"


    The young wolf cavalryman said unwillingly, "Gel, I am a warrior, you can''t deprive a warrior of the right to fight!"


    Gel said in an unquestionable tone, "You have a special mission, I want you to tell the tribe everything!"


    The young wolf cavalryman showed an unwilling expression.


    "Obey orders!"


    "Yes!"


    The wolf cavalry turned around and left the team.


    Gel showed a calm expression.


    He is a descendant of the great Hammer King!


    Unable to accept a humiliating defeat!


    Died on the battlefield.


    It is the fate of a warrior!


    It is also the highest honor!


    Gel looked back to the north.


    That is the direction of his hometown!


    Gel was calm in his heart, turned around resolutely, looked at the more than a thousand soldiers rushing over, raised the flag high and shouted.


    "Warriors of the Song of Hell! Leave your backs to your hometown, and we will die facing the enemy! Let''s fight to our heart''s content!"


    "Fight to our heart''s content!"


    "Fight to our heart''s content!"


    "Die facing the enemy!"


    The orcs raised their weapons high, their eyes full of enthusiasm! There was no fear at all, as if what they were about to face was not death, but the supreme glory of their lives!


    "Tell millions of compatriots in our own way! Orcs are indomitable warriors!" Gel continued to roar: "Warriors of the Song of Hell, even if they die, should die in the attack, not retreat!"


    "The glory of our ancestors is with us!" Gel''s wolf howled to the sky, pointed the upright spear forward, and roared hysterically, "Wolf Cavalry! Attack!"

 Chapter 53 Warriors Elegy

    "Wolf Riders! Attack!"


    More than a hundred wolf riders charged fiercely, like an arrow shot from a bow, unable to turn back, and determined to go forward!


    Oscar sighed silently in his heart. Such warriors should be respected, but they have different positions and cannot coexist with each other. The human race caused great harm to the orcs, and the orcs also slaughtered countless human races, causing many families to be broken and many lives to disappear.


    The grievances between the human race and the orcs are meaningless. From the standpoint of the orcs, Geer wants to restore the glory of the clan, he wants to rely on the glory of his ancestors, he wants to make the race stronger, and he is right. From the standpoint of the human race, Oscar wants the human race to prosper and prosper forever, which is not wrong.


    Everything is just for survival.


    Meng Hu shouted to Oscar: "Let''s go too!"


    Oscar nodded slightly.


    Meng Hu led the mercenaries off the snow slope: "Kill all the orcs!"


    Everyone collectively changed into short weapons, got out of the bunker, slid down the snow slope, and rushed towards the orcs. The orcs faced the double attack of soldiers and mercenaries. This was almost all the troops in Baisong Town, with a total of about 1,700 people. There were only more than 100 wolf cavalry, and the gap between the two was nearly 17 times!


    Even if the wolf cavalry was brave and good at fighting, it would be impossible to win in such a battle. What''s more, after the battle just now, the wolf cavalry was generally injured and their true energy was consumed very much. This was a war that was sure to lose without suspense!


    The army stopped advancing and lined up in formation.


    An officer shouted: "Line up! Meet the enemy!"


    "Hoo!"


    Neat shields blocked in front.


    "Hoo!"


    Countless cold spears stretched out from the gaps in the shields.


    Looking from the front, it was like a steel jungle!


    The wolf cavalry formed a charge formation, charging forward, surging forward, using their weapons to hit the shield formation, knocking the front row of soldiers over, and some wolf cavalry were pierced through the body by long spears, blood flying, very tragic.


    The wolf cavalry was too strong.


    They were like a sharp knife inserted into a big watermelon, and the neat and solid formation of the human army instantly tore a crack. Suddenly, the sword light flashed, and the blood flew. The wolf cavalry was surrounded by enemies. They waved their long swords, slashed left and right, and fought wildly.


    The sound of weapons colliding!


    The sound of armor tearing!


    The screams!


    The shouts of killing!


    All of them rang out!


    This is war, a ruthless war.


    Meng Hu led the mercenaries to arrive. Meng Hu drew his bow and shot an arrow, shooting a wolf cavalryman, and the mercenaries rushed up and attacked the rear of the wolf cavalry.


    The wolf cavalry still moved forward.


    Destroy with great force!


    Invincible!


    The wolf cavalry charged in from the front and then out from the back, and their number was reduced by half to less than fifty, and the casualties of the human race were more than three times.


    Gel rushed out several hundred meters with wounds, and suddenly turned around, and the other wolf cavalry followed suit. Gel had one eye stabbed, an arrow stuck in his shoulder, and countless wounds on his body, but he didn''t care at all. This body seemed not to be his own.


    "Ah--!" Gel''s wolf howled shrilly, he raised his weapon and shouted: "Wolf cavalry! Attack!"


    The wolf cavalry attacked again, and Gel led his men again and rushed into the human army. After a brutal battle with blood and flesh flying, Gel once again rushed out of the human formation, and there were only 5 wolf cavalry left by his side.


    Gel turned around with difficulty, raised his spear and shouted-"Wolf cavalry! Attack!"


    Only six wolf cavalry, but the momentum is even stronger!


    Gel fought his way through the blood, covered in blood like a peerless demon god, making the human army terrified. Wherever he passed, no one dared to stop him, and finally he broke out of the formation again.


    Meng Hu shot an arrow through the wolf''s knee.


    Gel fell heavily to the ground, but soon stood up again. There was no intact part of his body. His left arm was also cut off in the battle, and his right hand still held the spear.


    He once again killed through the enemy formation, but there was no companion around him.


    Only one person was left!


    One person facing an army!


    Gel looked at the large number of human soldiers, and saw something called fear in the eyes of the human race. Gel smiled, and he slowly raised his weapon. He faced a thousand people alone but did not lose momentum, and issued a final charge roar.


    "Wolf Cavalry!"


    "Attack!"


    One person, a gun, running at full speed, charging into the enemy formation!


    At this moment.


    People seemed to have an illusion that Gel was not alone, but there was an invisible army behind him, which was a huge army, fierce and mighty.


    Gel charged into the crowd and was eventually drowned in it.


    Orcs are not immortal gods.


    When Gel rushed halfway, his body was full of arrows and he had no more strength. He stopped in the middle of the team, used his last strength, stuck his spear into the ground, and held the spear tightly with one arm.


    A broken flag was fluttering.


    Bright red like fire.


    Like a warrior''s elegy!The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    Gel supported himself to prevent himself from falling, his eyes were about to burst, and he looked to the south. His eyes seemed to be able to turn into a rain of hundreds of billions of arrows, attacking the land where the human race lived.


    He stood.


    Not moving!


    The human soldiers surrounded them tightly, leaving no gaps, just watching, but no one dared to get close!


    Meng Hu felt extremely ashamed and shouted loudly: "Fuck! Are you ashamed? What are you afraid of! He''s dead! He''s fucking dead!"


    Oscar stood with his hands behind his back on the snow slope, and the battlefield gradually subsided.


    "Lord Oscar!" A soldier ran over and said, "The war is over! We won!"


    Oscar glanced at him and asked, "We won?"


    The soldier felt his face getting hot and lowered his head in shame.


    Oscar''s cloak was blown up by the cold wind. Looking to the north, he murmured, "This orc used his own death to arouse the blood of more orcs. When his story spreads in the Frost Plateau, how do you think the orcs will react?"


    "This..."


    Oscar sighed, shook his head gently and said, "Go and clean up the battlefield. All those who died here should be buried properly."


    "Yes!"


    The soldier retreated.


    The wolf cavalry were all killed!


    Cheng Wu''s body.


    Geer''s body.


    The body of the black armored army.


    The body of the orc.


    One by one, they were all sent back by the soldiers.


    Oscar couldn''t be happy. Humans and orcs had been fighting each other for countless years. The blood was endless and the hatred was endless... Oscar couldn''t help asking, is there really no way for the two races to get along?


    The reason why the orcs frequently went south was for food.


    If Oscar wanted to solve this problem, it would not be a difficult thing. But, what will happen to the orcs after they get the food? They will become richer and stronger, train more and more troops, and then go south again!


    In the minds of orcs, humans are the enemy.


    If the concept is not changed, the racial struggle will never end.


    Qin Yue looked at Oscar''s thoughtful profile and couldn''t help feeling a little dazed. Is this really just a teenager? He faced the fierce and brave wolf cavalry from beginning to end, without any fear, calm and steady.


    "Qin Yue!"


    "Ah!" Qin Yue was awakened from her daze, her heart pounding, "What...what''s going on?"


    Oscar said to her, "Let the mercenary Iron Arm Ape carry it back, and hurry up to dissect and extract the materials."


    "Okay!"


    These Iron Arm Apes are all the spoils of this operation.


    Oscar returned to Baisong Town and began to pay salaries. The hiring price of warlocks is extremely high. Although they are not as good as a woman on the battlefield, they can at least play a role. A dozen warlocks, 60 to 70 per person, a total of more than 1,000 silver coins were paid.


    Five hundred mercenaries, of course, can''t work for nothing.


    The price of the mercenary market is relatively stable. The hiring price of ordinary mercenaries is up to 1,000 copper coins. If they are hired for dangerous operations, the price will double to 5 times depending on the actual situation.


    However, mercenaries started with a voluntary labor mentality, so they never thought about asking for money.


    Oscar didn''t want to treat the mercenaries unfairly.


    Therefore, each mercenary participating in the event was given 10,000 coppers, and 500 people were 5 million coppers, which was equivalent to 5 gold coins in total. 8 mercenaries died in the battle, and Oscar paid a pension, which was very generous. In addition to other costs, such as materials for building magic arrays, heavy crossbows rented at a high price, etc. The total cost of this operation was more than 10 gold coins.


    This is a huge sum of money for ordinary people. As Oscar is the richest man in Baisong Town, this amount of money is nothing!


    In fact, considering the final harvest, this operation is very cost-effective.


    In the end, all the spoils belong to the mercenaries.


    Although there are no particularly valuable materials on the iron arm ape, the materials of an iron arm ape are sold intact, which is worth about 1200-1500 silver coins. If you can find a level 2 beast crystal, it will be even more profitable.


    When mercenaries hunt monsters, the materials only need to be enough to break even, and you can''t make a lot of money just by relying on materials. The real harvest is gambling beast crystals. The beast crystal in an ordinary monster is sometimes ten times or even dozens of times the price of the material!


    For example, level 2 beast crystal.


    Whenever the market is good, level 2 magic crystal can be speculated for hundreds of gold coins!


    How much is a level 2 monster material worth?


    Oscar returned to Baisong Town and immediately carried out a level 2 warcraft trophy, all of which belonged to the mercenaries. In total, he got 1 Iron Arm Magic Ape, 35 Iron Arm Apes, and 486 Plateau War Wolfs, which were level 3, level 2, and level 1 monsters.


    The number of Iron Arm Apes is enough, and there are hundreds of War Wolves. The Snow Wolf Mercenaries have many channels, and immediately contacted a company that specializes in decomposing materials as its main business.


    The order is very huge.


    This undoubtedly attracted great attention. This material decomposition company immediately dispatched 20 professional decomposers to separate materials for the Snow Wolf Mercenaries. The faster the monster is decomposed, the better, because some special materials will deteriorate after being placed for a long time, resulting in reduced quality.


    In addition, the beast crystal cannot stay in the corpse for a long time.


    It will gradually dissolve little by little.


    And eventually disappear.


    First, decompose the iron-armed ape. According to professional decomposers, most of the fur of the iron-armed ape has been chopped off, which greatly affects its value. There are not many valuable materials on the iron-armed ape, and its skin is a relatively important one. The skin of the iron-armed ape is very strong. If it is specially treated, it can be made into a strong inner armor.


    In the fierce battle between these iron-armed apes and wolf cavalry, almost no good skin was chopped off, so the value was reduced.


    The rest of the materials are fresh and complete, and each head can be decomposed into materials worth about 1,000 silver coins on average.


    35 iron-armed apes, 35,000 silver coins.


    This number is not small!


    "Beast crystal!"


    When a decomposer was decomposing the magic beast materials, he suddenly exclaimed, and everyone gathered to see that a golden crystal stone about the size of a thumb was found in the chest and abdomen of the iron-armed ape, emitting a golden energy breath. The decomposer used a knife to carefully cut the surrounding tissues, and a whole beast crystal was separated and thrown into a jar of liquid next to it.


    The beast crystal was soaked in it, and the surface flesh and blood tissue was immediately dissolved.


    It was shining with golden light and very beautiful.


    The beast crystal was fully presented!


    This is a level 2 beast crystal!


    The decomposer continued to decompose the materials. 20 people worked overtime and finally decomposed the iron-armed ape in one day and one night. A total of 6 beast crystals were produced. After identification, 4 level 1 beast crystals and 2 level 2 beast crystals!


    Why does a level 2 monster produce a level 1 beast crystal?


    This is not too strange!


    The condensation of beast crystals is accidental. Whenever the monster''s strength is about to improve. Essence and energy will be produced in their bodies, and finally condense together to become energy crystals. When the monster absorbs the crystals, its strength will improve.


    Under normal circumstances, monsters will not condense beast crystals.


    The existence time of beast crystals from generation to disappearance is not long. Low-level beast crystals appear in high-level monsters. Generally, they appear in two situations: when the beast crystal is forming or being absorbed. Therefore, the beast crystals dug out are sometimes lower than the level of the monster itself.


    In any case.


    Beast crystals are extremely valuable!


    This is the biggest harvest in the history of Baisong Town mercenaries!


    These material decomposers began to dissect the body of the Iron Arm Demon Ape. The Iron Arm Demon Ape is a level 3 monster. These decomposers have lived for most of their lives. I am afraid that this is the first time they have seen a level 3 monster. Naturally, they are very careful when dissecting.


    Finally, a beast crystal was found in the body of the Iron Arm Demon Ape.


    Oscar was very disappointed. The beast crystal was still condensing and only reached the level 2 standard. If the Iron Arm Demon Ape is killed a month later, perhaps a level 3 beast crystal can be obtained.


    Level 3 beast crystals are nowhere in sight!


    Refining corpse wizards is difficult!


    Oscar was extremely disappointed. High-level corpse wizards are very powerful and are no less powerful than great magicians. However, the more powerful things are, the more difficult they are to make. But Oscar would not give up. With his current ability and financial resources, a level 3 beast crystal should be no problem.


    1 Iron Arm Demon Ape, 35 Iron Arm Ape materials, all packaged and sold to Snow Wolf Mercenaries, only 40,000 silver coins. Hundreds of War Wolves need to run around, which is another big project. The materials of level 1 magic beasts are not valuable. It would be good to have 40 or 50 of them.


    Hundreds of War Wolves are worth 20,000 silver coins. Some of them are given to the military, some to the mercenaries, and several thousand silver coins are paid for the decomposition fee.


    There is basically not much left.


    The strength of the raised magic beasts is relatively constant, and it is not easy to produce beast crystals. It is considered lucky to produce three or four level 1 beast crystals from nearly 500 wolves.


    Oscar has no time to deal with material suppliers.


    Let the mercenaries handle it all.


    As for beast crystals, because they are rare, they are often hard to buy with money. Oscar is not short of money, so he keeps them in the studio. The application range of beast crystals is very wide, involving almost all production industries, and they will definitely be used in the future.


    Baisong Town removed a major cancer in an unexpected battle!


    If they hadn''t been trapped and attracted a group of monsters, even if the mercenaries and the army were combined, they would probably not be able to defeat the wolf cavalry, especially in a field combat environment. The wolf cavalry is the most elite branch of the orcs.


    First, the combat effectiveness is very strong.

 Chapter 54 Impact

    Recently, Baicheng has been plagued by disasters, and the city lord is very worried about it.


    A large group of ferocious scorpion tail beasts emerged from the Black Canyon. The Black Canyon is the main transportation route of Baicheng. Once this place is blocked, it will undoubtedly strangle the throat of Baicheng.


    Baicheng has invested a lot of military and financial resources to eliminate the scorpion beasts, which has caused a lot of damage to Baicheng''s strength.


    Finally, after many efforts, the Black Canyon was finally opened, but the negative impact has not disappeared until now.


    Recently, the orcs in the north are ready to move. A group of the most elite wolf cavalry bypassed the monitoring post of the Luohan Mountains and was harassing the marginal areas. Not to mention that they almost captured Baisong Town,


    they also attacked villages and caravans, causing great losses and injuries to civilians and merchants, so that people complained everywhere. As the city lord, he naturally suffered huge pressure for this.


    "Lord City Lord!" At this time, an assistant came in with a stack of information on the table, "This is the recent situation in White City, and there is also information about your evaluation."


    Although I haven''t read it yet, I can guess a thing or two. White City has been hit by natural disasters and the performance has declined rapidly in the past few months. Various rumors have been spreading, many industries have been impacted, several chambers of commerce have given up investment and business activities in White City, and the price of grain and weapons in the city has skyrocketed.


    That''s it.


    Natural disasters are inevitable, and the lord will not blame them for it.


    The most important thing is that the people''s grievances are difficult to quell.


    The wolf cavalry caused several villages to be massacred, and each village always produced one or two talents, becoming merchants, soldiers, officials, or warlocks.


    When the news of the village being massacred and the revenge of relatives came, how could they not lose their minds?


    They all wanted to destroy the orcs and avenge the dead.


    The city lord felt great pressure, but the wolf cavalry was very mobile, so how could they be easily tracked?


    Therefore, they could only station several thousand black armored soldiers in the main towns to temporarily protect the safety of the town. However, this approach was considered too conservative, and countless people criticized and condemned it.


    For this reason, the reputation of the city lord plummeted, and many people believed that the city lord was cowardly and incompetent.


    The city lord picked up the report.


    "The statue of the city lord was splashed with dog blood!"


    "The inaction of the city lord of Baicheng led to 500 people protesting in the streets!"


    "The three major chambers of commerce announced that they would give up investment in Baicheng, and one chamber of commerce evacuated Baicheng. Some experts predicted that Baicheng''s fiscal revenue in the first half of the year would shrink by at least 5,000 gold coins!"


    "The city lord''s support rate has declined!"


    "The reputation of Baicheng has declined, and several nearby cities have benefited from it and ushered in a development boom!"


    "..."


    The whole article was full of negative comments, and many of the news came from several surrounding cities.


    Other city lords deliberately fanned the flames and ridiculed, and even spread rumors that the orcs were about to attack Baicheng with a large army, which scared many businessmen away. Many projects that were originally carried out in Baicheng were cancelled.


    The city lord crumpled the information into a ball and angrily smashed it against the wall: "Foolish people!"


    The assistant said cautiously: "What should we do?"


    The city lord took a few deep breaths and asked helplessly: "Talk to the Hound Mercenaries again. If it doesn''t work, just follow their price!"


    The Hound Mercenaries are a mercenary group in White City. Different mercenaries have different structures.


    This is a mercenary group with intelligence as its main business. It is responsible for collecting magic beasts, herbs, minerals or other intelligence, and selling them to the military, merchants, mercenaries, adventurers, and making profits from it.


    The Hound Mercenaries raise a large number of low-level magic beasts such as wolves, dogs, and eagles, so they have outstanding search capabilities.


    The White City Army''s reconnaissance capabilities are far inferior to those of the Hound Mercenaries. If you want to track the wolf cavalry, you must use the Hound Mercenaries!


    What is a mercenary?


    Mercenaries mean mercenaries!


    This kind of army is an unrestrained free force. Don''t expect the hound mercenaries to work voluntarily. The city lord is also prepared to pay a high enough fee.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    But he never expected that the leader of the hound mercenaries seemed to see that the city lord had to rely on them, and directly offered a sky-high price of 2,000 gold coins.


    What is this concept?


    This is 50 times the normal price, at least it will drain the financial surplus of White City this month! White City has fought several battles, and its finances are already very tight. The hound mercenaries still want to make a fortune at this time?


    This practice of robbing and robbing made the city lord very angry, but the mercenaries are free forces, and the city lord of White City can''t do anything to them. The first negotiation broke down directly.


    Now the situation is forced, if the wolf cavalry is not eliminated, the loss will be more than 2,000 gold coins.


    The city lord''s assistant was very helpless and was about to say goodbye and leave.


    Suddenly there was a bang.


    A guard burst in through the door, shouting with joy on his face: "Lord, good news! Good news! The wolf cavalry has been completely wiped out."


    The Lord''s eyes widened: "What did you say?"


    "Good news from Baisong Town, 500 elite wolf cavalry of the Orcs have been completely wiped out!"


    The Lord stood up "whoosh", and couldn''t believe that the wolf cavalry that had troubled him for many days would be wiped out by a small town. This thorny problem was solved just like that?


    "What''s going on?"


    "What''s going on?"


    The Lord hurriedly confirmed the details and finally verified the news himself. He laughed excitedly and shouted: "Well done! Great job! Hound mercenaries? Go eat shit!"


    The assistant quickly flattered him: "God bless Baicheng!


    The Lord waved his hand: "Let Liu Qian hold a press conference! I want to let all the people in the city know this good news! ¡±


    After the official press conference, the news spread throughout the Baicheng area. Countless civilians, businessmen, and soldiers admired Baisong Town.


    Orcs are born with racial advantages. Orc warriors are stronger than human warriors. As one of the most elite arms, the wolf cavalry can fight ten of them if they encounter ordinary human troops!


    How many people are there in the Baisong Town garrison?


    Even with the black armored troops sent, they can barely protect themselves!


    The Snow Wolf Mercenaries made outstanding contributions!


    Oscar, the planner of the operation, was exposed again.


    Baicheng was boiling. When people learned about it, they immediately started to discuss it.


    After reading the newspaper, a citizen of the city screamed, "Damn, why is it this guy again!"


    The boss of a media said with a wry smile, "Why is it this guy again? Is he a headline killer?"


    A nymphomaniac girl screamed, "Wow, it''s an idol again! "


    Undoubtedly, Oscar has made the headlines again.


    "White City Daily": "Oscar outsmarted the Orcs and wiped out the Wolf Riders at the lowest cost!"


    "White City Warcraft Magazine": "The Iron Arm Ape is a ferocious and brutal Warcraft with very strong combat capabilities. The materials it produces are of limited value and are not welcomed by mercenaries and material merchants. Therefore, to deal with them, you need the courage of a tomato!"


    A military magazine called "Frontline" used a whole page to analyze it from beginning to end, and finally wrote at the end: "Oscar cleverly used the Black Armor Army to feign defeat to lure the enemy deep into the country, and then used the Warcraft to severely damage the Wolf Riders, and finally joined forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy. It was linked together and wonderful! The general''s talent was fully displayed in the midst of strategizing! "


    The media exaggerated the facts. Oscar did not have the ability to make ingenious calculations.


    This encounter was purely accidental. Oscar set a trap only to kill the Iron Arm Ape. It had nothing to do with the orcs.


    Moreover, if the wolf cavalry had not split up, Cheng Wu''s black armored army would have been destroyed in a few rounds of attacks. There was no time to retreat, and there was no chance to send out a distress signal for the mercenaries and Baisong Town to see.


    Dare not do anything.


    The brilliant results are in front of us. The wolf cavalry was eliminated, the hidden dangers no longer exist, and the Iron Arm Ape was eliminated, and the environment of Baisong Town is more stable.


    At the same time, the Iron Arm Ape''s entrenched area is rich in herbal minerals and has considerable commercial value!


    Oscar''s role in it is self-evident!


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    In Baisong Town, Oscar had just finished his training and was only one step away from the 11th ring. It is expected to be reached within three or two days.


    No matter what the city was in, Oscar always kept himself out of it and did what he had to do every day.


    "A letter from Baicheng! "Qin Yue saw Oscar coming out and handed him a letter, "The city lord reported the matter to the lord, and this time a big reward will definitely not be missed! In addition, the city lord invites you to be an official in Baicheng."


    "Forget about being an official, I''m not interested."


    Qin Yue smiled and said, "I guessed it!"


    "But I plan to leave Baisong Town and move to the city!"


    Qin Yue showed a happy expression, "Really?"


    Oscar nodded and said, "I will be able to advance to a magician soon. The equipment in Baisong Town is too poor. There is not even a decent laboratory. We need a better living environment."


    Qin Yue nodded repeatedly and said, "You should have gone a long time ago! Your talent can be better displayed in Baicheng! "


    Oscar''s reputation in Baisong Town is too high, not only does it make Weinan feel uncomfortable, but he himself is also not comfortable. Now that the orcs have temporarily retreated, Oscar has nothing to worry about. He wants Alice to live a better life, and at the same time he needs a better environment, so he naturally has to move to the city.


    Baicheng is a place with a population of two to three million.


    Various families, different mercenaries, chambers of commerce, companies, major forces, various institutions... Its structure is ten times more complex than Baisong Town, and its prosperity is ten times that of Baisong Town. It is far more suitable for showing off than Baisong Town.


    Mu Alice walked out of the room, holding a snow-white cloak, "Master, the mayor will hold a celebration banquet tonight. As the protagonist, you must dress well."


    This cloak was sewn by Alice overnight. It was made of a complete piece of wolf skin. It was snow-white, flawless, soft and warm.


    Oscar put on the cloak, and the whole person looked very heroic!


    Alice said very satisfiedly: "It really matches the young master! "


    Oscar scratched her nose and said, "Of course, it doesn''t matter whose work it is! You go change your clothes, we''ll go to the banquet right away."


    The two girls changed into their attire for the banquet. Alice was youthful and lovely, Qin Yue was beautiful and charming. The two completely different beauties following each other were enough to make any man jealous. The three of them boarded a bright and luxurious carriage. Meng Hu wore a brand new armor and drove Oscar himself.


    The four of them attended the celebration banquet.


    Behind Oscar followed two charming beauties and a giant man with a bear-like figure.


    It was hard not to attract attention!


    "Sir Oscar!"


    "Please come in! "


    The guard took over the carriage respectfully, and then took Oscar to lead the banquet. The banquet was held in a hall, decorated with lights and colors, very festive, far more festive than during festivals.


    The whole air was filled with the tempting aroma of wine and meat. A long table was filled with silver tableware, wine, delicious food, etc.


    Oscar sat side by side with the mayor.


    The others sat at the long tables on both sides.


    Wei Nan came up to greet him personally, shook his hand warmly, and said excitedly: "You are really the lucky star of Baisong Town!


    Those orcs are cruel by nature, and they don''t let go of the elderly and children. Their methods are extremely cruel, and the people have long been indignant! Or you have a way! No matter what, please accept my greeting today!"


    Wei Nan stood up and bowed to Oscar.


    The mayor was like this, so how could other merchants dare to be careless? They all stood up and bowed to Oscar to show their respect.


    Oscar''s reputation in Baisong Town has reached its peak.

 Chapter 55 Invitation Letter

    There were no big names in the small Baisong Town. There were more than 50 guests on the scene. Except for officials, they were all businessmen or leaders of Baisong Town families.


    Most of these people were born and raised in Baisong Town, or have settled there for many years.


    Baisong Town is a piece of land for them to survive. If Baisong Town is destroyed, the good days of these people will be over.


    First there was the disaster of the dead demons, and then there was the disaster of the wolf cavalry. Both crises that were enough to destroy the whole town were eradicated and resolved by Oscar!


    Wei Nan said sincerely: "Baisong Town has suffered two disasters, but we can still eat and drink here. You are undoubtedly the great hero. Especially the wolf cavalry, the city lord was very worried about it, but you easily solved it."


    Oscar did not take credit for it, shook his head and said: "You are all too serious, this incident is mostly luck."


    "You are too modest. Even if there is a coincidence in this matter, ordinary people can never grasp such a coincidence." After Wei Nan invited Oscar to take a seat, he turned around and said to others, "Okay, everyone is here.


    Baisong Town is a small place, and the dinner does not need to follow the rules and etiquette of the rules and regulations. Just have fun!"


    Undoubtedly, compared with Wang Jian, Wei Nan is a more suitable person to be the mayor. First of all, Wei Nan was born a sorcerer, and Wang Jian was born a warrior. The status of a sorcerer is obviously higher than that of a warrior, not to mention that Wei Nan''s strength is not weak.


    Whether it is dealing with people or working ability, Wei Nan is far better than Wang Jian. Although he had not been in office in Baisong Town for a long time, Wei Nan had done several good things and had been supported by the people and the army.


    This was a celebration banquet. Wei Nan gave a speech at the beginning of the banquet, and then they watched the show, ate, drank and had fun.


    Everyone was very happy.


    Especially Mu Alice. Most of the officers and businessmen at the scene were familiar to Mu Alice. When she saw them before, she only dared to look up at them.


    In the hearts of the girls at that time, these people were all noble masters, and they dared not disobey or disobey them at all.


    Now they all ran to flatter Oscar, and Oscar was calm and composed, which made her feel very proud and proud.


    Fate is really unpredictable!


    Mu Alice sighed in her heart. When she was so poor that she could not eat and was starving, she even went to pick up leftovers in front of their house!


    Now the young master has transformed himself from a playboy to a hero, and Alice has also benefited from it. Some businessmen have already found out that Alice has a close relationship with Oscar.


    In order to please Oscar, they all prepared a generous gift, all kinds of jewelry, jewels, top-quality silks, and beautiful works of art, one after another.


    Mu Alice is a little money-grubber. The value of each gift is converted into coins in her heart. Her eyes are straight. After a simple refusal, she happily took them all.


    Although the young master is worth a lot of money, Mu Alice thinks that money is not too much.


    Qin Yue is the head of Yunyue Studio. It is rumored that she has an ambiguous relationship with Oscar, so she is naturally the focus of flattery.


    It is rumored that the two are in a relationship. After Qin Yue learned about it, she felt a little complicated. Oscar''s eyes are all about little Alice. Although he is also very good to Qin Yue, he treats her more as an assistant or a half-disciple.


    Qin Yue was more prudent than Mu Alice, and most of the gifts were returned to avoid getting into trouble in the future.


    The atmosphere of the dinner was very lively. When it was about to end, a businessman found an opportunity to say to Oscar: "Sir Oscar is buying demon crystals, is this true?"


    Oscar was stunned when he heard this.


    Demon crystals are the most suitable materials for igniting soul fire, and their effects are far better than beast crystals, but demon crystals are in short supply. Oscar tried to inquire about it, but there was no news at all.


    So he had to resort to the second best and use beast crystals as a substitute, but the result was still not smooth.


    Oscar hurriedly asked: "Yes, I really need it, do you have it?"


    The businessman smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "You think too highly of me, such a precious thing, it costs hundreds or thousands of gold coins, even if I take out all my wealth, it is not enough for one tenth, how could I have it?"The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.


    Demon crystals are 3-5 times the value of beast crystals of the same level, it would be strange if a small businessman could get it!


    Oscar looked a little disappointed.


    The merchant observed the expression and wanted to say something, but hesitated.


    Oscar noticed it and asked immediately: "Do you have any news to tell me?"


    A strange light flashed in the merchant''s eyes. He looked around, moved closer, and whispered: "Sir Oscar, I won''t hide it from you. Although I don''t have the demon crystal, I know where to find the demon!"


    Oscar was refreshed: "Where is it?"


    The merchant hesitated and said: "Sir Oscar, the demons are cruel and powerful, and have all kinds of strange and special abilities. This is probably a very, very risky thing.


    To be honest, I don''t know whether I should say it. If I let Sir Oscar suffer losses, I really deserve to die."


    Demon is a nightmare word.


    Mysterious and weird demons from another world.


    There are too many unknowns.


    Therefore, hunting demons is by no means an easy task, and the merchant''s concerns are not surprising.


    Oscar said, "You can tell me!"


    The businessman said, "This place is not far away, about 35 kilometers away from Baisong Town. There is a village called Musk Ox Village. There is a natural cave near the village. Mysterious creatures have captured townspeople.


    Recently, adventurers who went to investigate have often disappeared. Some people have found the bodies of adventurers. Judging from the condition of the bodies, most of them died at the hands of the demons.


    Because ordinary monsters cannot cause similar damage, it is very likely that the legendary demons are hidden among them."


    A demon cave!


    Demons are not demons born on the mainland. They are a kind of evil life that has infiltrated from another world and are significantly different from life on the mainland. There are many kinds of demons, cruel and bloodthirsty, good at bewitching, and have various abilities.


    A large number of religious organizations have appeared on the mainland, and a considerable number of them are cults.


    The origin of cults is related to demons. Especially strong demons will attract and bewitch intelligent life and develop a cult.


    They will be worshipped as gods by fanatical believers. There are many such cults, and their roots are all over the human race and even among alien races. The harm is very great.


    Demons are everywhere on the continent. Some areas and even races have been completely filled with cult forces and are directly controlled by demons behind the scenes. This shows how harmful demons are to the races on the continent!


    "It''s a coincidence that I have a group of adventurer friends who have investigated the relevant information of the cave." The merchant took out a booklet, tore off a page from it and handed it over, "I hope it will be helpful to you. Demons cannot be dealt with by ordinary means, so please be careful to avoid losses."


    "This is really helpful to me!" Oscar took out his purse and took out a shiny gold coin, "Please accept it."


    The merchant''s eyes were straight.


    Gold coins!


    The merchant hurriedly thanked him and then said goodbye and left.


    Oscar didn''t expect to have an unexpected surprise when attending a banquet. It was unknown what type of demon lived in the cave, but with Oscar''s experience and knowledge, as long as he found the victim''s situation and some simple information, he could basically determine it.


    Demon crystals are more suitable for igniting soul fire than beast crystals!


    If Oscar could get a level 3 demon crystal, he would directly have a powerful corpse wizard equivalent to the strength of a high-level master magician!


    The dinner was over.


    Everyone was very happy and left one after another.


    Wei Nan sent Oscar to the carriage and watched Oscar leave with a smile.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Meng Hu drove the car himself and was heading home.


    Alice wiped Oscar''s forehead with a towel, with a worried expression on her beautiful face: "Master, you drank a little too much, it will hurt your body!"


    Oscar was the protagonist, everyone toasted him, it was hard not to drink more, and said with a wry smile: "So I never like this kind of banquet."


    He closed his eyes to rest, and turned back to ask Qin Yue to refine a bottle of sobering potion.


    The carriage was slowly moving on a quiet and deserted street.


    Meng Hu looked around. Five years of mercenary experience, plus his keen intuition, made him feel uncomfortable. There was something wrong with the atmosphere nearby, as if he was being watched in secret.


    Meng Hu looked around and suddenly caught a shadow squatting on the roof. The shadow was holding a big bow, and the cold steel arrow tip was shining coldly in the moonlight.


    Meng Hu''s pores were locked up and he shouted, "Be careful! There are assassins!"


    He pulled the horse hard almost at the same time, and the horse screamed and was about to speed up.


    Bang!


    The sound of the bowstring rang out, and an arrow shot directly into the carriage, brushed past Oscar, and trembled into the wooden board.


    The three were startled.


    Oscar felt that he was almost sober.


    The shadow shot an arrow and immediately jumped off the house.


    Meng Hu drew out a knife and yelled: "Where are you running!"


    Qin Yue opened the window and shouted: "Don''t chase, be careful of luring the tiger away from the mountain!"


    Meng Hu saw that the three were fine, and he couldn''t help showing a strange look. This person didn''t seem to be a killer, and the arrow didn''t seem to be used to kill people.


    Alice panicked and shouted: "Master, are you okay? Are you injured?"


    "Don''t worry, it''s okay!" Oscar stood up and observed the arrow that shot in. It was an iron arrow. A roll of paper was found at the position of the arrow feather. He was stunned and said: "It''s a letter!"


    Qin Yue cursed: "What kind of bastard is it? Isn''t it life-threatening to send a letter like this?"


    Oscar opened it and checked it once, his eyebrows slightly condensed, "This is an invitation letter!"


    Mu Alice asked curiously: "Whose invitation letter is it?"


    "Song of Hell!"


    "What?"


    Oscar himself showed a puzzled look, "This is an invitation letter from an orc named [Grom-Song of Hell], who wants to invite me to visit the tribe and promises with the honor of a warrior that he will never kill me."


    Mu Alice and Qin Yue stared at each other.


    Orcs invite a human to visit the orc tribe on the Frost Plateau?


    Is this possible?


    Oscar turned the paper over, and a map of the plateau was drawn on the back.


    Qin Yue asked nervously, "What are your plans?"


    Oscar stuffed the paper into his pocket, rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think?"


    Only a fool would go!


    Besides, Oscar had just killed a brave orc warrior. Although he didn''t know Gol''s status in the tribe, he thought he was not an ordinary warrior. Besides, is the Frost Plateau a place for people to go?


    Only a freak like Feng Zhongmian would take the initiative to go there!

 Chapter 56 Storm is coming

    March 15, 1004 in the new calendar


    The sun rises in the east, the snow eagle soars, and a loud and sad cry echoes in the sky, adding a layer of vast and tragic color to the ancient and mysterious northern plateau.


    Frost Plateau - a barren land abandoned by the civilized world.


    The mountains here are continuous, layered, one after another, like dormant snow dragons.


    There is a river called "Osirisi", which runs from west to east, nourishing countless demons. "Osirisi" means the mother goddess of the earth in the language of the Orcs. The Orcs live in tribal ways, and civilization has always revolved around "Osirisi", which has never changed for thousands of years.


    The middle reaches of the Osirisi River are relatively low-lying, the river level is gentle, and it converges into a lake. The water is clear, never frozen, and blue as a mirror. It is like a sapphire inlaid in the white desert.


    When the breeze blows, the forest trembles happily, and the branches and leaves of the plateau pine trees rub against each other, making a pleasant "rustling" sound. Because spring has arrived, wild grass and flowers begin to appear on the lakeside, and a group of wild plateau snow sheep chase and play.


    The scenery is harmonious and beautiful, a paradise on earth.


    Rich in resources but without the shadow of ferocious beasts, similar places are not common on the frost plateau, and the "Fire Blade Tribe" 7 miles away has contributed greatly. This is one of the most famous orc tribes within hundreds of kilometers, with a long history and a prosperous population!


    The large monsters have been slaughtered long ago, and the monsters in the distance dare not approach.


    The monsters understand that there is a group of orcs here who are more sturdy, more violent, and more terrifying than them!


    Today is an extraordinary day.


    Tens of thousands of orcs gathered in the center of the tribe, wearing animal skins and armor, holding simple spears, with solemn and solemn expressions. In front of them is an altar made of frost mammoth bones, which is 30 meters high and stands proudly, very majestic.


    The sacrifice began.


    The Orc warriors stood in a neat row, hitting the ground with their spears, roaring rhythmically.


    An old Orc wearing a ragged gray robe and a lot of bone ornaments, chanted a difficult spell, slaughtered a few demon bulls, and a blazing fire lit up on the altar, and a vast force emanated from the altar.


    "The ancestors are with me!"


    "The warriors of the Fire Blade Clan are not inferior to anyone!"


    The Orcs'' eyes were bloodshot, and they raised their spears and shouted in unison. The sound was like thunder, shaking the mountains and rivers, and shaking the sky!


    "Bloodbath the humans!"


    "Bloodbath the humans!"


    "Restore the glory of our clan!"


    The wolf cavalry of Geer was completely wiped out.


    The story of the heroic death of this wolf cavalry spread to the Frost Plateau. The [Song of Hell] clan, which had disappeared for thousands of years, showed its glory again in this way.


    Because [Song of Hell] was once the leader of the eight clans, and was the only Orc clan that had ever established a glorious history, the reappearance of the Song of Hell put great pressure on the eight clans.


    The Orcs are a competitive and aggressive race.


    No one regretted the death of Gel in battle, because sympathy was considered an insult by the Orcs and should not be used on warriors.


    On the contrary, a glorious death in battle is the best destination for a warrior. The Orcs have been lingering on for thousands of years on the Frost Plateau. Gel fired the first shot to attack humans, and died bravely, making this shot even more shocking and declaring the pride of the "Song of Hell" clan.


    The Orcs flocked to it!


    The eight clans couldn''t sit still!


    They couldn''t watch the glory of [Song of Hell] reappear, and even overshadow the eight clans again.


    Countless clans stopped the civil war and began to yearn to fight against the human race!


    No matter how difficult the environment is, the Orcs always regard honor as everything! Short-sighted but impulsive and passionate, he made a decision that affected the survival of countless tribesmen.


    Orcs.


    An unreasonable race.


    But also a terrible race!


    This is the fundamental reason why they have survived for tens of thousands of years without being destroyed!


    ¡­¡­¡­


    The northern storm is brewing.


    The human race is unaware of it.


    Nalan Yan drove into Baisong Town, holding the corner of her clothes tightly, with a beautiful face that was not interested in worldly incense, full of tension and expectation.The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.


    The Xueyan Chamber of Commerce''s meditation incense has been in short supply for three weeks since its launch. Other cities have found agents and it is selling more and more popular.


    Although the sales of meditation incense are hot, the simple secret recipe has been cracked by some studios. It is estimated that it will not be long before counterfeit products will be everywhere.


    After a while, the secret recipe will be completely leaked, and warlocks can find materials to make it, and then the profit space will be greatly reduced.


    Nalan Yan urgently needs a stable flagship product as a replacement. While the popularity of the meditation incense has not subsided, it can be launched at the height of the storm to get the widest attention.


    Nalan Yan was worried about this and traveled around to contact some studios or groups every day.


    But how can a good formula be easily bought?


    Nalan Yan was desperate and finally placed his hope on the young man in Baisong Town who created countless miracles.


    Yunyue Studio sold 4 formulas not long ago.


    Each one is what Nalan Yan dreams of, and he dare not hope to get a similar formula. This kind of thing is hard to come by, and Nalan Yan''s ability is definitely not enough. Even if the formula is inferior, it will be fine as long as it can save the embarrassing situation.


    What if he doesn''t have it?


    What if he doesn''t sell it?


    Nalan Yan owes Oscar a big favor for the secret method of meditation incense.


    "Xiaoxue, do you think he will think we are greedy?"


    Maid Xueer couldn''t help sighing when she saw the young lady looking nervous and uneasy. The young lady was the daughter of the dignified Nalan family, and she was as beautiful as a fairy. No one in the family could match her. Those stinky men wanted to have a kiss in their dreams.


    But she was worried whether it would arouse the emotions of a young man.


    Xiaoxue comforted her and said, "Young lady, you are a businessman. You can''t do business if you are too thin-skinned!"


    Nalan Yan frowned slightly, revealing a deep distress, "I was born not to be a businessman, but I..."


    She suddenly kept silent.


    "Don''t say that. In fact, how many people in the world are born geniuses like Oscar? Most talents grow up through learning."


    Xiaoxue knew the pressure on the young lady. Looking at the increasingly thin young lady, she felt very distressed. "The family looks down on us, so we will do something to prove it to them!"


    "Well, I hope so..." Nalan Yan sighed, gently opened the curtains, and looked out with a pair of bright eyes. "Why are there so many people on the street today?"


    "We have been celebrating the Land Reclamation Festival in the past two days. You have always lived in the upper class of society, so of course you don''t know much about folk festivals. The importance of this festival among the people is comparable to the New Year''s Day."


    "Really?"


    "This day is a crucial dividing line, which means the cold season is about to pass and the short and precious warm season is about to come. Rye and potatoes can be planted."


    Xiaoxue introduced enthusiastically: "You also know that in the sixteen regions of the north, demons are rampant, wars are everywhere, and there are orcs harassing, and famines are often caused.


    People attach great importance to food. The local government will also support this kind of festival and take the initiative to hold various activities to encourage the enthusiasm of civilians."


    When the carriage slowly arrived in front of a mansion.


    The captain of the knight said respectfully: "Miss, we are here."


    Hundreds of snow wolf mercenaries surrounded Oscar''s house tightly, and the townspeople surrounded it tightly inside and outside, all of them were looking around.


    It turned out that there was a team parked in front of the Mu family. It was the flag of Snow City.


    "The great lord specially sent a team of envoys to reward Oscar!"


    "Really?"


    "How can this be false? Now even the great lord is paying attention to Oscar!"


    "That is a blessing for Baisong Town!"


    The townspeople were all red-faced and very proud. Oscar was praised by the lord, which made the people of Baisong Town happier than during the holidays!


    About twenty minutes later.


    A senior officer came out, and a row of soldiers came out carrying several large boxes. Wei Nan, the mayor of Baisong Town, held a gold-inlaid scroll in his hand and announced loudly in public: "Dear fellow villagers, the handwritten letter from Lord Yinxue has come again. Oscar has made great contributions and will be rewarded with 500 gold coins and awarded the Fire Bronze Noble Medal!"


    A reward of 500 gold coins!


    This is a huge sum for a remote town!


    Oscar was even promoted to Fire Bronze Noble!


    The Black Iron Noble is the lowest level of nobles, but it is protected by the local area and has certain privileges. The Fire Copper nobles are much higher-ranking and are qualified to establish legal armed forces. They enjoy privileges in many places and are also qualified to be downgraded and inherited.


    The eldest son of the Fire Copper nobles automatically obtains the status of the Black Iron nobles.


    Not to mention Baisong Town.


    Even in Baicheng, which has a population of two to three million, the number of Fire Copper nobles is very rare! The Fire Copper nobles are respected in Baicheng and do not need to salute when they see the city lord!


    "Everyone, please be quiet. The Reclamation Festival is here. Today is an important period of the year''s solar terms. Sir Oscar and Sir Lord want to give everyone a gift on this festive occasion!"


    Everyone became interested.


    Soldiers carried out boxes, all of which were sacks: "These contain precious improved rye seeds, and the inventor is Oscar.


    Preliminary tests and experiments did not find any defects, and the lord decided to use Baisong Town as the first experimental planting area!"


    These rye seeds are all super wheat seeds that have been improved according to Oscar''s methods. They have the advantages of ignoring climate, strong adaptability, short growth cycle, and high yield. Not to mention the soil near Baisong Town, they can be widely planted even on the frost plateau.


    However.


    After all, it is a new crop, and it has not really grown fruit. The lord does not know if there are any hidden problems, so experimental planting is needed. The best choice is naturally White City.


    Oscar''s reputation is mainly in the White City area, and his influence in other cities is very small. What he invented is more easily accepted locally.


    Wei Nan continued, "If the planting results are good, the lord will give a big reward! If the planting results are not good..." Wei Nan changed his voice and continued, "Don''t worry, everyone, Oscar has just promised that if the harvest is not ideal due to seeds, all growers will pay double compensation for the losses!"


    Wealthy!


    Oscar is the only one in Baisong Town who can say this, and only Oscar has this confidence!


    Seeds are free, and the harvest belongs to you. If the harvest is good, the lord will reward you, and if the harvest is not good, Oscar will give you subsidies.


    There is no such good thing in the world!


    Wei Nan continued to shout, "Because there are so many seeds, other villages and towns are the same. Everyone can get seeds. If the yield does not meet the standard due to the variety, Oscar will give subsidies! What are you waiting for?"


    "Long live the lord!"


    "Long live Oscar!"


    The townspeople cheered collectively!


    All lined up to register and prepare to receive seeds!


    Nalan Yan witnessed the whole process and was deeply shocked. The townspeople were full of trust and joy. She didn''t expect that Oscar, who was so poor that he couldn''t even eat snow chickens two months ago and almost got beaten to death in a fight, would have such a reputation and influence!


    This is really a mysterious boy!


    The scene was hot.


    The townspeople received seeds one after another.


    "Miss, there are too many people now. I''m afraid we can''t get in for a while!"


    "It''s okay to visit later." Nalan Yan said here, and suddenly a magic light flashed and said to Xiaoxue: "This kind of wheat seed has great potential. Let''s buy some back and go to research and produce in large quantities. It will definitely be popular in the future!"


    "The effect of the new seed is still unknown. Is it too risky to do this?"


    Nalan Yan had a smile on his face, which made Xiaoxue dizzy. "I can''t say why, but I believe him!"

 Chapter 57 Visit

    A lamp, a cup of tea, and a book.


    Oscar, wearing a simple white robe, sat leisurely on a rattan chair, holding an old book to read, and occasionally picked up a pen to write.


    The teapot was beside him, with mist curling and fragrance spreading. The noise was isolated, creating a quiet and gloomy atmosphere.


    There was a soundproof array in the house, so the noise from the outside could not be heard.


    A mercenary walked to the front of the study.


    "The adventurer is back!"


    Oscar stood up and said, "What are the results of the investigation?"


    The mercenary handed over a scroll, "The situation is written on it!"


    Oscar opened the scroll and glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done, give them some money and reward them well!"


    "Yes!"


    The mercenary left.


    After the threat of the wolf cavalry was resolved, Oscar stayed in the town for a few days because he learned about the monsters, and spent a lot of money to hire adventurers to investigate.


    Now the results of the investigation are out, and it is basically confirmed that monsters have appeared. Just based on the information in hand, it is not possible to determine the type for the time being.


    The demon cave, you have to go there in person!


    Oscar bought a lot of books about demons, including records, notes, legends, etc. of demons from various places. After a lot of reading, Oscar found that most of the demons that have appeared now have never been seen.


    This is because 15,000 years later, the human race and demons experienced a long struggle, and the demons were basically extinct.


    At that time, only some special breeding farms artificially bred some improved demons. They were all extracted and cloned from ancient demon fossils. After being improved, they lost the nature of the demon race and became like livestock. They were just tools for synthesizing crystals.


    It is different now. It is a time of disaster and demons are everywhere. They cause great harm to the continent.


    There are some particularly strong high-level demons who disguise themselves as humans or other races and infiltrate the upper echelons of the race.


    At the same time, some demons also created cults, began to recruit believers, cultivated evil forces, and caused countless demons to suffer disasters.


    Oscar is a magic fanatic. If there are real demons, he would certainly want to catch some for research.


    This material is almost extinct in the future!


    In addition, demon crystals are the best soul fire materials. Level 2 demon crystals can ignite soul fire. If there are level 3 demon crystals, the corpse witch is refined, and its magic power is not even inferior to that of Liu Rufeng when he was alive!


    The demons are greedy and cruel by nature, and have special abilities and powers. They are not something that ordinary people can deal with.


    Therefore, Oscar must prepare well!


    A week ago, Oscar completed the construction of the 11th ring magic vortex, allowing him to completely get rid of his apprentice status and become a magician with 11th ring magic. Oscar is now a real magician.


    The difference of 1 ring is a world of difference!


    Oscar is going to the demon cave again to increase his magic power a little more, so that he can have enough safety protection when dealing with special situations.


    It was dusk.


    The townspeople dispersed.


    The Snow City envoy and the mayor Wei Nan all left.


    Meng Hu, with his fierce mercenaries, stopped the merchants or sorcerers who tried to come forward and shouted loudly: "Oscar the sorcerer is practicing and will not see guests now! Go, don''t disturb him!"


    Dozens of merchants or Oscar''s admirers refused to leave.


    "Are you done yet!"


    "I said I won''t see guests! Go!"


    Meng Hu roared.


    The crowd immediately quieted down.


    This nearly 2-meter-tall giant had a strong body like a bear, dark skin, a face full of flesh and scars, and the only thing missing was the words "I am a villain" written on his face.


    Everyone left dejectedly.


    Meng Hu was unable to breathe a sigh of relief. Eight cavalrymen squeezed out of the crowd, and a stunning girl in white appeared in the middle. The crowd suddenly became quiet, and countless eyes were all focused on the beautiful woman''s expression.


    That kind of extraordinary and otherworldly temperament made people think she was a fairy descending to the earth.


    "Hello." Nalan Yankongmo''s clear voice made it hard to refuse: "My name is Nalan Yan, and I''m Oscar''s friend!"Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.


    Meng Hu has been traveling around for five or six years and has a lot of experience and knowledge. This person was born rich or noble, and his origin is definitely not simple. He thought about it and refused flatly: "Oscar said he doesn''t see guests! No!"


    "You are so unreasonable!" The maid Xiaoxue was very unhappy, and stood up with her hands on her waist and shouted: "Do you know who the lady is? I''ll scare you to death!"


    "Don''t give me that! I was scared!" Meng Hu is a typical stubborn person. What if he is a beautiful woman or a noble family? He insisted: "No means no! Go away!"


    Nalan Yan''s eyes flashed a trace of sadness, revealing a deep disappointment.


    "Xiaoxue, forget it. Come visit again tomorrow!"


    Xiaoxue was unwilling: "We have waited for so long, how can we..."


    "Isn''t this the sister from last time?" Alice passed by the door and saw Nalan Yan, and immediately said to Meng Hu: "Brother Hu, this sister is not an outsider, let her in."


    Alice has spoken.


    Meng Hu no longer blocked her.


    "Come with me!" Alice enthusiastically led the two into the living room, "I''ll make tea for you!"


    "When can we meet Oscar Warlock?"


    "The young master is practicing, I can''t disturb him, do you have anything to do?"


    Nalan Yan repeated her purpose.


    "I want to help my sister." Alice scratched her head and said: "But, I can''t make a decision on this kind of thing... Wait a minute, I''ll go find Sister Qin!"


    After about a few minutes, Alice brought Qin Yue to the living room.


    Qin Yue wore a red robe, high leather boots, and her hair was tied up. She had a fiery temperament, and wore black-framed glasses, which added a touch of dignity and intelligence.


    She was tall, graceful, plump but slender, charming, but pretending to be serious. She was meticulous in combing and dressing, which was quite charming.


    Beautiful women always like to compare.


    Both of them couldn''t help but look at each other more. Alice and Xue''er were amazed. One was dignified, intellectual, charming and mature, and was a rare beauty.


    The other was otherworldly, elegant, like a fairy high above. Each had its own merits and was not inferior to the other.


    "Miss Qin, I''m Nalan Yan!"


    "Who in the Northern Federation doesn''t know the name of the Nalan family? It''s well-known!"


    A trace of loneliness flashed across Nalan Yan''s eyebrows, but Qin Yue was sensitive to it.


    Qin Yue was born in a merchant family and had seen too many merchants since she was a child.


    Nalan Yan is the most unlike-businessman businessman. She has a unique air of magic, as pure and flawless as crystal, without any smell of money.


    This is more reliable than profit-seeking profiteers. Nalan Yan is only seventeen or eighteen years old. At such a young age, she got rid of the protection of her family and ran to a remote city to make a living. It is really not simple.


    Is there any hidden secret?


    The first impression is good!


    Qin Yue thinks that Nalan Yan is a good partner.


    Nalan Yan told her purpose and then asked, "Does Yunyue Studio have new formulas and inventions?"


    "Alice and I have studied with Oscar for more than a month and have indeed learned a lot of formulas. I won''t hide it from you. In fact, Oscar has a lot of such formulas. I know him very well. He doesn''t take it to heart and has never thought about operating it. Even if we don''t go through him, we can still sell it to you."


    Nalan Yan''s expression was stunned and said, "Really?"


    Oscar is really a strange person. He doesn''t care about the formula that is worth a thousand gold and extremely precious, representing wealth and honor?


    The Nalan family is a behemoth. Xueyan Group is under the banner of the Nalan family. It is not afraid of being peeped by scoundrels. It has great potential. Qin Yue is willing to cooperate with it. She asked: "What business are you good at? How many resources and factories do you have? How is the production technology?"


    Nalan Yan''s Xueyan Group is actually an empty shell, with only a short-term product, Mingsixiang, to support the scene.


    There is no way around it.


    Nalan Yan has no money to invest or research and development, only a few factories, and a relatively single sales ability. Although there is Mingsixiang to open up the market, it is only sold in Baicheng. Other cities recruit agents, which is a method of killing the chicken to get the eggs, to earn short-term profits.


    As for the technology?


    That''s even weaker. Xueyan Group was established very recently, did not recruit a team of warlocks, and basically did not have the ability to produce medicines.


    Qin Yue was very confused


    Is she really the daughter of the Nalan family?


    A trace of helplessness and melancholy flashed in Nalan Yan''s eyes.


    "Let me think about it!"


    Qin Yue knew that Nalan Yan had helped Oscar and Alice before, and wanted to cooperate with him. Unfortunately, Xueyan Chamber of Commerce was too weak, and the Meditation Incense was not a technically demanding thing, so it was of course feasible.


    If you make medicines, pills, talismans and other industries with high technical requirements, it would be difficult.


    For example, potion production.


    Pharmacist resources have always been very scarce. Even if you spend a lot of money to dig them from other chambers of commerce, they are not necessarily reliable. Pharmacists with bad reputations will secretly steal the formula, resulting in the leakage of secrets, thus affecting the interests of the chamber of commerce.


    If you cultivate from scratch, it will not be completed overnight.


    Now even if you sell a good formula to the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce, it cannot play its due value.


    Qin Yue said to Alice who was sitting next to her: "Little Alice, do you want to publish a book?"


    Alice was stunned for a moment: "What book?"


    Qin Yue smiled and said: "You are a junior apprentice with 1st ring magic power. You have entered the circle of warlocks and should make some contributions to the development of magic.


    Oscar taught you the basic knowledge that many apprentices dream of.


    We will cooperate with the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce to set up a printing factory, organize the experience and notes and publish them. Maybe there will be good results?"


    Alice was born with a kind heart. She didn''t care about reputation. She asked in a low voice: "Can it make money?"


    "You are really a real money-grubber!" Qin Yue said with a smile: "If the sales are high, you can make money naturally."


    Alice''s bright eyes lit up, "It can help poor warlocks and make money to help the young master, so why not do it!"


    Nalan Yan understood Qin Yue''s thoughts: "You want to do publishing education?"


    "Publishing books is not as lucrative as potions and spells, but it is a good way to accumulate prestige and earn reputation. Xueyan Chamber of Commerce can take this opportunity to recruit more potential warlocks and train them to become contracted pharmacists of Xueyan Group."


    Speaking of this, Qin Yue said: "In addition, I have a formula to sell you."


    "What formula?"


    "This is the refining formula of [Magic Flower Potion], something that can cause a sensation!" Qin Yue pushed his glasses and showed a smile of despair.


    "Oscar gave me the formula completely, so I can completely control it in my own name without going through him."


    After learning about the effect of [Magic Flower Potion], Nalan Yan immediately screamed, her eyes widened, almost unbelievable, and a surge of ecstasy rushed to her heart.


    Too powerful!


    Without any side effects, it instantly increases the mana of the apprentice-level warlock by 1-3 rings!


    Its value is unimaginable.


    The most critical material of the [Magic Flower Potion] requires Level 1 beast crystals, which is destined to be a potion that cannot be mass-produced. It can only go the boutique route, with small quantities and large profits, which just fits the problem of limited productivity of the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce.


    However, Nalan Yan began to worry.


    Such a potion that is enough to cause a sensation in the warlock world, does the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce have the capital to take it down?


    "I don''t deserve a penny for this, I want 15% ownership of the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce."


    Nalan Yan thought for a while. It is still unknown whether the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce can do it. If Qin Yue can be brought into the partnership, it is equivalent to forming an alliance with Yunyue Studio, which is very powerful for the future development of the Chamber of Commerce.


    A formula for 15% ownership is a bit too much.


    But the [Magic Flower Potion] does have this qualification!


    "Okay!"


    Nalan Yan agreed without thinking much.

 Chapter 58 Preparing for Adventure

    Oscar finished his training for the day. According to the current progress, he will reach the 12th level in two weeks. .


    Reading this makes me feel good.


    When Oscar pushed open the door and walked out, Alice didn''t greet him as usual, but she happened to see Qin Yue and asked, "Where''s Alice?"


    "I''m busy compiling books!" Qin Yue explained the matter briefly.


    Oscar has compiled twelve sets of books, establishing a complete and profound framework system of martial arts, most of which cover forbidden arts.


    Even without other huge inventions and magical contributions, the twelve sets of masterpieces alone are enough to go down in history.


    High-level knowledge is not suitable for dissemination, and the harm is too great. The knowledge that the two girls are learning now is all the basics of the basics.


    In later generations, two silver coins would buy a spell book from a local stall. There was countless similar knowledge, and it would be completely harmless to spread it.


    "You''re not blaming me for being good at making opinions, are you?"


    Warlocks attach great importance to knowledge. Although some people are indifferent to fame and wealth and do not like to seek power and gain, they cherish knowledge very much. Qin Yue felt that she was a little reckless. What if Oscar was unhappy?


    Oscar waved his hand and said, "If you have the heart and want to do something, then do it well!"


    Qin Yue felt her heart trembling, but she couldn''t explain the reason. Oscar''s simple encouragement made her become extremely excited and motivated as if she had been on stimulants.


    "But don''t get carried away and don''t delay your cultivation!"


    "yes!"


    A beautiful woman in white walked towards her. Oscar looked sideways and immediately greeted politely: "Hello, Miss Nalan!"


    Oscar is a moderate legend in the border area, but he is very low-key and does not like to pursue fame and fortune. People always think that he is a noble and arrogant person.


    In fact, Oscar just likes to relax and has a comfortable and easy-going temperament, just like meeting an old friend after a long absence.


    Nalanyan didn''t feel any pressure or nervousness at all, it was like facing an old friend. At the same time, I felt strange, was this really the guy who fought in the street that night?


    No matter how he looked, he didn''t look like someone who would chase others with a stick and beat them!


    Why would an easy-going and indifferent person become angry and hysterical?


    Humans are really complex creatures!


    Nalan Yan quickly said: "It''s too disrespectful to call me that, just call me by my name!"


    "Haha, of course this is the best!"


    Oscar smiled, set up the charcoal stove, and didn''t talk about business, only anecdotes. Nalan Yan was born into a wealthy family and was quite knowledgeable. She understood the situation and situations in the mainland far better than the average person.


    As for Oscar, with more than 10,000 years of experience, his knowledge is even more extensive.


    Nalanyan enjoyed the tranquility so much that she almost forgot the purpose of coming to Baisong Town.


    Alice ran out in a panic, "Oh, I almost forgot the time. I''m going to prepare dinner now!"


    "There are a lot of people today, and one person is too busy. I have made a reservation from the pub and will deliver it later. Meng Hu and the others have been guarding the house outside all day. You go and buy some good wine for me, and I will treat you well in the evening!" "


    "OK!"


    Alice went to the restaurant and bought a box of rye. The food in the restaurant had been delivered. A large round table was set up at home, with fragrant roast goose and chicken, nourishing bear bone soup, expensive and delicious caviar, and delicious steamed rice. Cod... there are more than a dozen dishes that are delicious and delicious.


    Alice came to the door and shouted loudly: "Brother Tiger, dinner is ready, you can eat!"


    The mercenary walked in carelessly, and when he smelled the tempting fragrance, his mouth watered. Sit down, don''t say much, tear into the barbecue, take a few sips of wine, and start eating directly.


    ¡°There are so damn many people today!¡±


    "that is!"


    "Thankfully Boss Meng Hu stopped me, otherwise the house would have been demolished!"


    "Boss Oscar! Let me toast you!"Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.


    "Congratulations on becoming a Fire Bronze Noble! I will have to protect my brothers more in the future!"


    "Dry!"


    Nalan Yan was very surprised, and Xiaoxue was equally surprised. Children of aristocrats or people born in aristocratic families have a very strong sense of superiority and inferiority.


    Oscar, as a fire-bronze nobleman personally granted by Lord Silver Snow, actually sat down to eat with the humble mercenaries, eating meat and drinking wine, very casually.


    Qin Yue explained: "Don''t be surprised. Oscar doesn''t care about this. There is nothing wrong with everyone eating and drinking together."


    Nalan Yan smiled knowingly.


    Alice secretly brought a piece of plump and juicy steak to Nalanyan''s bowl and winked at her, as if to say, "If you don''t eat it, the mercenaries will eat it all!"


    A warm current flowed through Nalanyan''s heart.


    She was born into the first family of the Northland Federation. She had never seen such a scene before. Although it was against the rules, it was very warm.


    The knights and housekeepers around Nalan Yan did not have the courage to cross the gap and dine at the same table with her. Family dinners are like rituals, with a lot of rules and regulations that make people uncomfortable.


    Living like this is very enviable. Nalan Yan sighed softly. Although her birth and family background were enviable, she was burdened with tremendous pressure and constraints. She never felt happy. She was not as free as these rude mercenaries.


    Dinner is over.


    Nalan Yan reluctantly boarded the carriage and looked at the people who came out to see them off, "Alice, Sister Qin, and Oscar, thank you very much for your hospitality!"


    Alice waved her hand and shouted: "Goodbye, sister Nalan, we will go to Baicheng to find you soon!"


    The knights of the Nalan family left under the escort, Alice organized her notes, and Qin Yue went to practice. As for Meng Hu, when he had eaten and drank enough and was about to go to the casino with his brothers to play some games, he was suddenly told that Oscar wanted to see him for something.


    Ever since he experienced the Wolf Cavalry incident, Meng Hu believed in his father''s words.


    Oscar is an extraordinary young man!


    Meng Hu quickly came to the study.


    Oscar sat on a wicker chair and handed him a roll of paper. "Post these notices in taverns and hotels, and also post a few on the streets. I want to recruit some experienced warriors, about 6-8, warlocks with level 15 or above." 2 people, hired for one week, commission is inevitable.¡±


    Meng Hu observed Oscar''s recent behavior and could analyze what he wanted to do. "You don''t want to go on an adventure in the Demon Cave, do you? It''s completely unnecessary! Just stay in the town. For this small task, just let me lead the team there!" "


    "I must go there in person." Oscar did not change his mind, "You have been dealing with Warcraft all year round, and there may be some ways to deal with Warcraft.


    Demons and monsters are different. I want to take action personally to avoid unnecessary casualties. "


    Being a mercenary or adventurer is a high-risk profession. If you are afraid of danger, you will not do this job. As long as you accept an entrustment and receive a commission, you will naturally bear risks.


    It was a willing transaction, and even if he was killed during the mission, it wasn''t Oscar''s fault.


    Oscar wanted to take action personally, which surprised Meng Hu.


    "By the way, I have something for you."


    Oscar handed over a small box. Inside was a snow-white bone weighing several kilograms. There was a faint glow lingering on it, obviously it was no ordinary bone.


    Judging from the shape, it is the skull of an iron-armed demon ape.


    The skull was cleaned cleanly, and a large glowing pattern appeared on the inside, sealing some kind of strange power.


    This is a piece of Warcraft memory bone!


    The most valuable part of a Warcraft, besides the beast crystal, is actually another thing, which is the memory bone!


    The two have one thing in common - they can be met but not sought!


    Warcraft is born with some skills, and the memory bone is the carrier used by Warcraft to remember skills. When the monster is killed, the runes on the treasure bones will generally fade away, but there is a very small chance that they will remain.


    The treasure bones whose runes have faded are called [empty treasure bones], which are also precious materials.


    Treasure bones whose runes have not faded are called [Inheritance Treasure Bones] or [Skill Treasure Bones], and are worth more than beast crystals.


    As long as you absorb the power from the treasure bones, you have a high probability of mastering the magic beast skill.


    Oscar explained: "I have studied the runes on the treasure bones. This is a skill that records the special skill of the Iron-armed Demon Ape [Rage]. It is obviously a warrior skill. Its main ability is to overdraw the physical strength and potential in exchange for a short-term and large increase." Although the strength improvement is very good, it has side effects, so use it with caution!¡±


    The corners of Meng Hu''s mouth twitched.


    violent!


    It''s a violent skill!


    This is a skill that many warriors dream of!


    This fast treasure bone is rarer than the level 3 beast crystal, and its value will definitely be higher. A piece of level 3 beast crystal can sell for thousands of gold coins!


    Oscar gave a piece of precious bone worth thousands of gold to himself without blinking an eye!


    "I..." Meng Hu resisted the temptation and said, "I can''t accept this thing!"


    A hint of praise flashed in Oscar''s eyes, and then he said with a smile: "You are a high-level mercenary. If someone wants to hire you, it will cost at least a few hundred silver every day.


    I have no other good qualities except that I won¡¯t let others suffer! If you follow me, I also want to use you, so I won¡¯t let you suffer! This bone is considered a commission! "


    "Okay! Thank you very much!"


    Meng Hu picked up the treasure bone and couldn''t put it down immediately.


    A smile appeared on Oscar''s lips.


    This is a very potential and reliable fighter, a bone is nothing.


    Meng Hu worked very efficiently. With Oscar''s notice, he recruited 8 warriors in one day. They were all elite warriors of the 17th and 18th stars. 3 of them were good at using arrows, and the other 5 were equipped with swords and shields, plus 2 15-year-olds. A circle of warlocks, one of whom knows healing.


    Mercenary information is public reference information in the Mercenary Guild and the Adventurer Guild.


    Mercenary level, strength level, occupation, reputation, specialties...affect the price.


    Oscar checked the information of 8 warriors. All of them have good reputation and experience, and have excellent professional abilities and qualities. As for the price, they are around 2-5 silver coins. Due to their profession, the price of warlocks will be much more expensive, generally around 15 silver coins.


    Oscar doesn''t care about this little bit of money.


    "I believe Meng Hu has given you the content of this mission." Oscar stood in front of everyone with his hands behind his hands, "We are going to conduct an adventure, and since it is an adventure, there are uncertain risk factors.


    I will pay double the commission according to the dangerous mission commission standard, but please be mentally prepared! "


    A bald adventurer smiled brightly and said: "In our industry, which mission is not dangerous? The sponsor is generous, of course we will work hard for you!"


    Oscar signed a contract and bought insurance from the guild. Every time he went on a mission, he had to buy insurance, which was usually paid for by the sponsor. If the mercenary dies or becomes disabled during the mission, his family will receive a compensation payment, allowing the mercenary to have no worries during the mission.


    Several people were ready to go.

 Chapter 59 Musk Ox Village

    For this operation, there are 8 hired warriors, 2 hired warlocks, Oscar, Meng Hu, Qin Yue, a total of thirteen main members, and 10 ordinary mercenaries are hired to assist and ensure that everything goes well.


    Near the demon cave, there is a village that can provide a place to stay and supplies. Oscar settled Alice and was ready to set off, but he saw Alice sitting in the study, dazed and depressed.


    Alice was full of distress: "My ability is too weak to help the young master."


    "Don''t think so, your power is beyond anyone''s imagination." Oscar sat down gently, touched Alice''s head and said: "I hope you will always be ordinary and happy."


    Alice wanted to go with him very much, but she was well-behaved and sensible, and she was afraid of causing trouble to everyone, so she didn''t bring it up.


    "What is it like outside?"


    "You haven''t been there?"


    "Alice has never walked out of the city wall." Alice''s eyes flickered, a little scared, a little curious, and a little yearning.


    "Everyone says that the wild is full of man-eating monsters and cruel and evil demons. It is not a place for humans to live! I really want to become stronger as soon as possible so that I can go out and see it."


    Fifteen years.


    For fifteen years, Alice has never walked out of a palm-sized place.


    Oscar was a little surprised: "This world is very exciting. Although it is dangerous, it is full of opportunities!"


    Oscar picked up a pen and drew a big circle on the parchment. "Look, this is the northern continent, which is divided into several parts. The land alone is 93 million square kilometers. The human race is concentrated on the south side."


    Oscar drew a small piece below.


    Alice frowned and said, "So little?"


    "Yes, the human race is distributed over an area of ??20 million square kilometers, mainly composed of several plains.


    Although the distribution is quite large, the Northern Federation actually controls less than 10 million square kilometers. Outside the human race''s sphere of influence, there are primeval forests, wastelands, deserts, lakes, mountains, plateaus, oceans, ice fields and other rugged areas, which are uninhabited areas.


    Take the Frost Plateau for example, there are thirteen alien tribes including orcs and frost trolls living on it, collectively known as the Thirteen Northern Tribes!"


    Alice opened her eyes wide, "I have only heard of orcs!"


    "This is because orcs are closest to us!" Oscar then drew other places, "The northern continent is not completely covered with ice and snow, there are also hot and rich tropical forests, warm golden beaches... This continent is also a small part of the whole world."


    Alice''s curiosity was aroused: "Do we have a chance to go?"


    "Of course!"


    This girl has always lived in a place the size of a palm, and she has no idea that the world is so rich and vast.


    "Do you want to go outside the town?"


    "Yes!" Alice was stunned for a moment, and quickly changed her words: "No... No! I can''t hold you back!"


    "Stop talking, pack up, and let''s go together!"


    "Really?"


    "Nalan Yan has no cultivation, but she still runs around. The outside world is not as scary as you think. You will know if you go there."


    Alice''s white face, like a peeled egg, flushed with excitement, and she kissed Oscar on the face excitedly, "Master is the best!"


    Oscar didn''t think Alice was a burden. In fact, when Alice''s potential burst out, it would be a stronger fighting force than anyone else.


    This power cannot be used easily, otherwise it will put others, including Oscar, in a very dangerous situation.


    Oscar will not let Alice participate in the battle.


    Just take Alice out for a trip, and when passing by the village, leave her in the village.


    For this reason, Oscar specially hired 10 more mercenaries to form a team to protect Alice. Oscar is not short of money, as long as Alice is happy, it is worth it.


    "Sir, we have prepared horses, and we have several excellent Xiyuan wildebeests!"


    Xiyuan wildebeests have a better name, called dragon scale horses, which are produced in the Xiyuan region of the north. They are a horse breed with a long history. Purebred dragon scale horses are all black, with fine scales on their heads and necks.


    They have horns similar to deer on their heads, thick fur, and tall bodies. They are excellent military horses. The main source of income in the Xiyuan region is the sale of dragon scale horses.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!


    Meng Hu, carrying a heavy gun and axe, carrying a quiver and a bow, riding a tall horse, said to Oscar: "We have set the route, and we will first follow the trade road to the Musk Ox Village 30 kilometers away."


    Oscar was about to leave when a sound of horse hooves sounded.


    "Sir Oscar, please wait!"


    The crowd separated.


    Wei Nan rode over on horseback, with a knight on either side.


    Oscar asked with a surprised expression: "Mayor, what are you doing..."


    Wei Nan pulled the reins, rode his horse slowly forward, and showed a kind smile. He bowed to Oscar and said: "Lord Oscar is a noble of Fire Bronze, but he is going to investigate the demons near Musk Ox Village to eliminate harm.


    Musk Ox Village is a village under the jurisdiction of Baisong Town. Wei Nan''s magic power is limited. He is a magician after all, and he is also the mayor of Baisong Town. He has not done anything beneficial to the people since he took office. This time, I will go to help no matter what!"


    This is a great thing!


    Wei Nan is by no means an ordinary person. He is a magician-level master who can''t be hired even if you have money. With the addition of two elite knights, the team''s combat power has been greatly enhanced.


    "The mayor is going to eliminate harm for the people himself!"


    "Support the mayor!"


    "What a good mayor!"


    The townspeople cheered and talked.


    Oscar had no reason to refuse, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart. There is always something unpredictable about this person, so it is better to be a little cautious.


    "Okay, let''s go!"


    "We have to get to Musk Ox Village before dusk!"


    Amid the sound of horse hooves, the horses galloped through the vast wilderness. There are usually [straight roads] between towns, also called [lanes] or [trades], which are convenient passages for military or commercial use.


    Rugged terrain plus snow, harsh environment, difficult off-roading, ordinary horses and carriages cannot travel, so this convenient passage is very necessary.


    In addition, walking on the [straight road] is safer. There will be sentry posts at some important intersections of the straight road, commonly known as [straight road stations], to reduce the harm of robbers and monsters. But when the convoy or horse team passes the sentry post, they have to pay tolls.


    The straight-line distance from Baisong Town to Musk Ox Village is only about 30 kilometers, and the actual distance is definitely more than that. If nothing goes wrong, it can be reached in more than an hour.


    ¡­¡­¡­


    This place is covered with ice and snow half of the time, until late April, when the snow line begins to gradually rise, and the snow on the plain will completely melt. Although it is spring now, it is not April yet, and most areas are still covered in snow.


    The ice and snow cannot resist the counterattack of life, and the season of revival has arrived.


    In some areas, black soil is exposed, and some green is seeping out from the dense dead grass.


    Thousands of snow geese are surrounding a meadow, as big as male geese, with snow-white feathers, pecking at berries in the snow. They build nests and lay eggs in the open space, and cunning snow foxes take the opportunity to shuttle among them and steal snow goose eggs.


    In the distance, wild sheep are foraging in groups, like white clouds crawling on the hillside.


    Alice leaned on Oscar''s arms, ignoring the cold wind that hurt her cheeks, and stared at everything with wide eyes.


    So empty!


    So many animals!


    Distant and mysterious icebergs, flawless and pure snowfields, lifeless grasslands, beautiful snow geese, cunning snow foxes, cautious snow sheep, strong musk oxen... Occasionally encountering snow wolves besieging sheep, snow leopards killing musk oxen, or seeing snow sculptures madly snatching and pecking at dead cows, it is very exciting and thrilling!


    Oscar hugged Alice''s soft body, shielded her from the wind, and said with a smile: "Do you like it?"


    Alice was amazed and nodded vigorously: "There are many animals in the wild!"


    "Yes, this is a rich land, the foundation of people''s livelihood, of course, it is also watched by orcs." Oscar looked up and took a deep breath of cold air, sighing: "This world is very big! Musk Ox Village is coming, we will spend the night in the village."


    Musk Ox Village has a population of 3,000, mainly hunting, supplemented by planting snow berries and rye, and the nearby resources are rich and the living resources are abundant. But recently, due to the chaos caused by demons, dozens of people have disappeared, and the village is shrouded in a shadow.


    Wei Nan rode his horse to the front, looked at the villagers who had gathered, waved his hands and shouted: "Hello, villagers, I am the mayor of Baisong Town. This is Mr. Oscar. We came here to investigate the demons and monsters!"


    The villagers did not cheer as expected.


    They all looked questioning.


    "Is this enough?"


    "Several groups of adventurers have gone and never returned!"


    "I don''t think it will work..."


    "Yes, those demons are so scary!"


    Most villagers were not optimistic about them.


    A middle-aged villager wearing cowhide directly stood up and shouted: "The demons are very fierce. You are only more than 30 people. It''s too dangerous! If it''s really the mayor, please send troops over!"


    Wei Nan''s face suddenly darkened: "Nonsense! How can regular troops be mobilized at will!"


    The villager shouted: "Then you''d better not go! This is to die! The previous groups of people went and never came back!"


    Wei Nan said unhappily: "What do you know, a village man? How can we compare with ordinary adventurers? Let your village chief come out!"


    Oscar didn''t say anything. His eyes swept over the villagers and then fell on Wei Nan, with a hint of doubt.


    At this time, an old man came over with the help of several villagers. He was a villager from Musk Ox Village. He was obviously more knowledgeable than ordinary villagers. He saw that Oscar''s team was not simple at a glance. He immediately staggered up and saluted: "I am the village chief of Musk Ox Village. I am a rough and ignorant man. I offended you. Please forgive me."


    "Please give me the information about the demon cave." Oscar said to the village chief: "In addition, I want to check the remains of the victims."


    "Of course, please follow me."


    Oscar, Qin Yue, Wei Nan, three warlocks followed the village chief.


    The others settled the horses and tidied up their residence.


    In a simple thatched house, two bodies covered with linen lay on the platform. These were the villagers killed by the demon. Both were hunters who were killed near the cave.


    The wounds were mainly scratches and bites, not caused by wild beasts, because there were obvious signs of pollution, and the body was black and rotten. Ordinary wild beasts and even demon beasts could not cause similar effects.


    Qin Yue covered her nose and asked, "Was this killed by a demon?"


    Oscar checked it once, covered the cloth again, and said while washing his hands in the basin, "Judging from the wound, it looks like a claw demon."


    "I know this." Wei Nan stepped forward to answer, "In the literature on known demons, the claw demon is a common low-level demon of level 1, and its strength is not very strong."


    Qin Yue showed disappointment, "After all this time, it turned out to be a level 1 demon. Doesn''t that mean we can''t get the demon crystal we want?"


    "Not necessarily. Claw demons live in groups, and among them there are giant claw demons. Giant claw demons are level 2 demons, and level 2 demon crystals meet our usage standards!


    If it''s just a nest of claw demons, this mission will be easy." Oscar said here, and suddenly shut up, obviously he had something to say.


    Wei Nan asked in surprise, "Is there anything suspicious?"


    Oscar glanced at Wei Nan and said, "It''s hard to say now. We''ll know after the field investigation tomorrow!"

 Chapter 60 Sharp-toothed Bat

    It was dusk, and the mist was low.


    The setting sun enveloped the lonely village, the white snow, the lonely snow birch, and a cold wind blew, making it even more lonely and deserted.


    An old woman in her twilight years, wearing thin clothes and leaning on a broken wooden stick, trembled every few steps and walked with difficulty. She held a clay pot in her right hand and wanted to break into the house, but was stopped outside by the mercenary.


    The old woman was shivering with cold, with missing teeth in her mouth, and begged incoherently: "I want to see the mayor!"


    The two mercenaries who were guarding the door looked at each other, and one of them said: "Hey, you are not young anymore, don''t freeze your body, go back quickly."


    The old woman still didn''t give up: "Please, I want to see the mayor."


    The mercenary was impatient and started to scold.


    "Hey, what are you doing!" Qin Yue and Alice saw the mercenary treating an old man rudely, and immediately stepped out to stop him. Alice took off her fox fur cloak and put it on the old man''s thin body.


    Qin Yue''s eyebrows were raised, and she scolded the mercenary, saying: "He is just an old man, how can you be so rude!"


    The mercenary was very embarrassed and said: "Sorry! Sorry!"


    Alice was afraid that the old man would be cold, so she took him into the house.


    The old woman was already in her twilight years, with white hair, skinny, and staggering, as if she could be blown down by a gust of wind.


    Her clothes were torn and old, her eyes were turbid, and her face was full of poverty, but she was holding a pot of steaming earthenware in her hand, and a fragrance was emanating from it.


    "Sir..." When the old woman saw Wei Nan and Oscar, she immediately put the earthenware pot on the table and said incoherently: "This is a snow chicken stewed by the old woman. It''s still hot. It will warm you up."


    The old woman''s clothes were simple and rough, and her body was skinny. She didn''t look like a wealthy person at all. Why would she take the initiative to send food?


    Oscar asked gently: "Old man, do you have anything to say?"


    The old woman shivered a few times and said in a trembling voice: "If you find my poor grandson, let him go home early. Grandma misses him!"


    It turned out to be the family of the missing person.


    Oscar wanted to give her a few silver coins, but the old woman refused to accept them, so he had to call the mercenaries to send her home first.


    The village chief sighed and said, "This is Widow Liu. Her husband died of illness at an early age, and her son and daughter-in-law also died. She raised her only grandson alone.


    The child was smart since childhood. Last year, he was admitted to the White City Warlock Academy and ranked among the top in the class. He is very talented and has the opportunity to become a warlock. He is the pride of Musk Ox Village.


    Widow Liu suffered a lot in her life. She thought she could enjoy a good life, but... It''s a pity. If Liu Xiaozi hadn''t been a filial child, he would have wanted to come back to take care of his mother-in-law during the holidays. I didn''t expect that he would be gone."


    The old village chief shook his head with regret.


    Wei Nan''s eyes twitched and he remained silent.


    Qin Yue and Alice looked dim. This old man had a hard life.


    Oscar asked, "How long has she been missing?"


    "More than a month, the second missing person in the village. After such a long time, even if she is not killed, she will starve to death or freeze to death. There is basically no hope."


    The old village chief sighed and said, "Poor Widow Liu, every time an adventurer comes, they send chickens and ducks. Her family is not rich, and she can only rely on everyone''s help to make a living. The tuition for Liu boy is still collected by the villagers..."


    Qin Yue clenched her fists and said indignantly, "Those monsters are damned!"


    Wei Nan stuffed the purse into the village chief''s hand.


    "Mr. Town... Mayor!" The village chief felt the heavy purse and was a little at a loss, "What are you doing? You can''t use it!"


    Wei Nan did not take it back, but waved his hand and sighed, "The money is not for you. Settle Widow Liu well. She has suffered all her life. At least she can live a little better in her later years."


    The village chief was very moved.


    Qin Yue and Mu Alice also looked at Wei Nan with admiration.


    The mayor is really a good person.


    Wei Nan forced a smile and said, "You don''t know, I had a bad life in my early years. After my father died of illness, my mother raised me alone. In order to earn tuition for me, she worked herself to death in the factory.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    I never had a good day, a good meal, or a good piece of clothing until my death. I feel guilty every time I think about it... The son wants to support his parents but they are no longer there!"


    Wei Nan''s eyes were slightly red, and he was silent for a long time before saying, "This world is unfair!"


    Wei Nan is a respected magician, but there are countless bitter tears behind his achievements today!


    "I''m so sorry, seeing Widow Liu reminds me of my mother."


    "Mayor, don''t be sad, it''s not your fault."


    Qin Yue sympathized with Wei Nan very much. She was born in a wealthy family, so she naturally couldn''t feel the hardships of poor magicians, especially those with average talent!


    Oscar thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "The grandson of Widow Liu is the second missing person. Who is the first missing person?"


    "The first person to discover the missing person was the only healer in the village. He has a high status in the village, so he immediately attracted attention. However, we failed to find him back."


    Oscar narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking.


    The old woman''s kindness should not be wasted.


    Several people shared it.


    The chicken soup was simple and mellow, filled with the strong expectations of the lonely old man.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    The next day.


    Everyone was ready to go.


    Among the mercenaries hired by Oscar, there were 8 warriors above 15 stars, 2 warlocks above 15 rings, plus Meng Hu of 29 stars, Qin Yue of 17 rings, and 20 ordinary mercenaries to assist.


    Now with Wei Nan of 21 ring strength and two 18-star elite knights to help, it is even more powerful.


    Cave exploration, not too many people. The cave environment is complex, especially in narrow places or rugged terrain. If an emergency occurs, too many people will not be conducive to evacuation and will become a burden.


    Alice was protected by 10 mercenaries and stayed in Musk Ox Village.


    The others set off.


    The cave is in a coniferous forest, with mainly snow fir trees, many shrubs in the forest, and a large number of musk deer and wild wolves.


    The favorite prey of hunters in the village is musk deer. Deer meat is not only delicious food, but the musk glands extracted from musk deer are excellent materials for making perfume and can be sold to merchants at a high price.


    There is no shortage of wild animals and low-level monsters in the woods.


    Why would the demons go back and forth ten kilometers to kidnap humans? Even if the demons like to kill humans for fun, they don¡¯t have to kidnap humans. This is a thankless task!


    The destination has arrived.


    The mercenaries surrounded the cave, which was about 2 meters high and very narrow, and only one person could move forward.


    "This cave is very small, even bears can''t get in." Meng Hu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I guess there are no large creatures."


    Oscar reminded, "Don''t take it lightly, the danger of monsters cannot be judged simply by their size!"


    "There shouldn''t be too many explorers, you guys stay outside to support!" Meng Hu asked 10 ordinary mercenaries to stay outside and pulled out a steel knife from his waist, "I''ll go in first, and the others will follow!"


    Meng Hu was the highest level and the most experienced in exploration among the mercenaries, so he led the way in front. He was wearing a total of three pieces of equipment, a heavy gun axe, an iron-framed bow, and a steel knife for narrow places. His huge body made it difficult to move here.


    Others followed.


    Oscar and Qin Yue were in the center, and Wei Nan and two knights were responsible for the rear.


    Qin Yue held the Green Forest Staff in her hand, and her palms were full of sweat. How could a delicate rich girl have experience in cave exploration?


    Both nervous and exciting!


    The air circulation in the cave is good, but there is still a faint smell of decay and a fishy smell, just like entering a bear''s den.


    There are rocks all around, and crystal clear ice cones hang above your head. If you fall down, you are in danger of being stabbed, so you have to be careful.


    The narrow and rugged space gradually becomes larger, but the light becomes weaker and weaker. It is pitch black and cold.


    The air seems to be frozen.


    There is a faint sound of running water, which should be an underground river.


    The silence is terrifying, like a tomb!


    Oscar throws a [lighting ball], a fist-sized light ball, illuminating the surrounding environment. It is a typical ice cave with gullies and rugged rocks. The crystal clear ice pillars are like diamonds refracting light, but there is a different view.


    Everyone carefully dispersed to find the way.


    Oscar completed a spell and cast [Spell Eye], which is a low-level but very practical skill. It allows people to have night vision temporarily and see energy fluctuations at the same time. It can last for more than ten minutes.


    Wei Nan suddenly shouted, "We found the way!"


    This is another narrow road. When you reach the end, it suddenly stops. It''s dark ahead and there''s an abyss under your feet.


    "It''s a low cliff." Meng Hu said to the mercenary behind him, "Bring the rope!"


    The mercenary tied the rope to a sharp stone neatly and put the other end down. Meng Hu grabbed the rope and said, "It''s about 15 meters high. Oscar stays on it first. Let''s explore it first."


    Oscar is only 11 rings strong, the weakest among them, and he is a warlock, so of course he can''t take risks.


    "I''ll go down first!"


    "I''ll go too!"


    The two mercenaries slid down holding the rope, scouted first, and then said, "No danger found!"


    Wei Nan made a gesture, and two knights went down, drew out the knight''s long sword, and held the steel shield to protect the left and right. Wei Nan followed. Oscar saw that there was no danger and was about to go down.


    Suddenly!


    A rustling sound came from an unknown direction!


    "What''s that sound?"


    "Something is approaching!"


    Almost all of a sudden, a large number of shadows appeared in all directions, like a black cloud covering them. Oscar threw a lighting ball over, and a large group of creatures as big as a palm were frightened by the light and ran around.


    The mercenary shouted: "Damn it, sharp-toothed bats!"


    Sharp-toothed bats are a ferocious carnivorous bat that does not eat insects and does not need to hibernate. They hunt in groups and can attack bison and sheep.


    Hundreds of sharp-toothed bats are enough to gnaw a bison to the bone in 15 minutes!


    "You guys!" Meng Hu shouted: "Find a place to hide!"


    Sharp-toothed bats are fast and there are many of them. If you encounter them in an open area, you can''t defend yourself at all. The teeth of these beasts can easily bite through leather armor and have certain toxins. If you are surrounded, you will die.


    The bats attacked the cliff first. Meng Hu was so energetic that he swung his sword and cut off four or five bats. Thick black blood was all over the cave wall.


    There were too many of them!


    "Ah!"


    A mercenary covered his neck with his hands, and a lot of blood flowed out of his fingertips. He couldn''t even see the speed of the bats.


    Meng Hu stood in front and shouted: "Protect Oscar and retreat to the gap!"


    Everyone went to the gap to defend step by step.


    Oscar immediately activated a [Fire Shield] talisman after Meng Hu retreated.


    A bat rushed over fiercely and hit a layer of fire, which immediately burned its fur. Bats hit one by one, but they were too weak to break the magic shield and were immediately blocked outside the cliff.


    "We should find a place to hide too."


    Wei Nan''s voice sounded.


    "We''ll meet up after the bat swarm passes!"


    Protected by two mercenaries and two knights, Wei Nan fled in one direction immediately despite the crazy attacks of the bat swarm.

 Chapter 61 Giant Claw Demon

    The bats circled outside for a while, and finally gradually dispersed. If they were a little later, or fell to the ground and were surrounded by the bats, they would be bitten to pieces in an instant.


    Qin Yue''s face was pale. How could a rich girl who lived a life of luxury encounter such a thing? Her shoulder was bitten to pieces by a piece of clothing, and a piece of milky white and tender skin was exposed outside. The cold feeling made her shiver uncontrollably.


    A bat bit her shoulder. Fortunately, the clothes were thicker, otherwise a piece of flesh would have been lost.


    "How are you? Are you injured?"


    Oscar came forward to show concern. Qin Yue felt relieved and her fear dissipated a lot. She shook her head and said, "I was behind the team and retreated in time. I was not bitten by the bats. It seems that others were injured."


    Three mercenaries were bitten. Because they were wearing leather armor for protection, they only had minor flesh injuries. Only one was more serious. The sharp-toothed bat bit the side of the neck, tore off a piece of flesh, and bled a lot.


    His companions used medicine to stop the bleeding, and the mercenary warlock who knew healing arts treated him.


    "Lucky, I didn''t bite off the artery!"


    The mercenary disinfected and bandaged skillfully, and it was basically fine.


    Oscar asked: "Can we continue?"


    The mercenary didn''t care: "Since I''m taking money from the financier, how can I retreat because of a small injury? People in this line of work still have professional ethics. I was too careless just now, otherwise how could I be bitten by such a low-level beast?"


    Meng Hu inquired and said: "The mayor''s whereabouts are unknown, we must meet with the mayor as soon as possible!"


    "Give me 5 minutes!" Oscar sat down cross-legged, "I want to prepare a spell!"


    Oscar constructed a 13-ring [Sound Wave Interference]. Bats use ultrasonic positioning. This technique can absorb sound waves. Bats cannot be positioned, so naturally they cannot accurately launch attacks.


    Several people left the crack and went down the rope. Now the bats have disappeared.


    "Mayor!"


    "Mayor!"


    The mercenary shouted a few words.


    There was a dead silence in the cave, no sound, did something happen?


    Wei Nan has 21 rings of magic power, he is a master of magic, the two mercenaries are good, the other two regular knights not only have 18 stars of true qi, but also wear solid black wood armor, which can''t be bitten by sharp-toothed bats.


    How could these five people be killed by a group of bats!


    "There are bloodstains!"


    The mercenaries found bloodstains on the ground, and more than 20 charred bats were scattered around, all burned by flames. It must be Wei Nan''s spell.


    Meng Hu frowned and said, "They walked this way, someone was injured, and they may be chased by bats. Let''s catch up."


    Oscar, Qin Yue, Meng Hu, plus 8 mercenaries, immediately went to the passage where Wei Nan retreated. There were bloodstains along the way, and the injured were probably seriously injured.


    Strange, the sharp-toothed bat is a low-level creature. If the warrior is prepared, he uses true qi to protect his body. Even without protective gear, the bat cannot cause much damage.


    After walking for about a few minutes.


    "Someone!"


    On the back of a smooth stalactite, a figure was half lying. Judging from his attire, he seemed to be a knight.


    Oscar threw a [illumination ball], and when the light fell on him, everyone was shocked. This knight was holding a long sword, half lying on the stalactite, his whole body was covered in blood, and his armor was broken.


    His neck was bloody and had a huge wound. His artery and trachea were cut by a sharp weapon. He was dead.


    "What happened!"


    "This wound was not caused by the sharp-toothed bat!"


    The teeth of the sharp-toothed bat could not bite the black wood armor. Besides, the knight had 18 stars of true qi and was extremely tough. Even if he was besieged by a group of bats, he should be able to resist for a while.


    Qin Yue felt that the wound was somewhat familiar. He turned back and looked at Oscar, and got a definite answer from the other''s eyes.


    "Claw Demon!"


    "Be careful, there is a Claw Demon!"


    On the way to avoid the Sharp-toothed Bat, these people unfortunately encountered the Claw Demon, which is a level 1 demon with very fast speed. A pair of claws can completely kill a powerful knight.


    It''s really a Claw Demon.


    Then Wei Nan is in bad condition!


    Oscar said with a serious expression: "The combat power of the Claw Demon is not strong, but this kind of monster lives in groups. If a group of Claw Demons appear at the same time, Wei Nan, as a master of the magician level, may not be able to escape unscathed.


    Once a magician is approached, no matter how high his mana is or how powerful his spells are, it will be useless."


    "The traces of the battle are very fresh, and he didn''t go far. Let''s chase him!"


    The mercenaries began to chase deep into the cave.


    After about a few minutes, they found a mercenary corpse lying on the ground. His condition was similar to that of the knight. There were seven or eight wounds on his body, and the fatal wound was in his neck.


    Qin Yue found three bodies of unknown creatures on the ground nearby. They were about 1 meter tall and looked a bit like monkeys, but they didn''t have hair. Their skin was gray and black with wrinkles all over their bodies.


    The nails of their claws were black and sharp, about a foot long, which was shocking.


    Claw Demon!


    Oscar lowered his head to take a closer look at the body.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    "Ah!"


    Suddenly, there was a hoarse howl.


    "Be careful!"


    The two claw demons moved at high speed on the top wall, their scarlet eyes locked on everyone, and suddenly pounced forward, shooting like lightning, with a pair of sharp claws shining with a cold light.


    Meng Hu''s steel knife was full of true energy, and he shattered the blade-like nails of the claw demon with one knife, and then chopped it out with one knife, cutting the claw demon in half.


    The other one carried the mercenary''s shield and blocked it. When the claws landed on the shield, three deep scratches were left.


    "Hiss!"


    The claw demon missed the attack and turned around to retreat. The mercenary warlock reacted quickly, and a burning fireball hit the claw demon in mid-air. The claw demon screamed and fell to the ground, burning violently all over. The flames illuminated the dark cave wall.


    But the claw demon''s vitality was very strong. Although it was ignited, it was still alive and continued to escape.


    Meng Hu drew his bow and shot an arrow, nailing the claw demon directly to the ground.


    From the demon attacking to being killed, the whole process took less than 2 seconds.


    The claw demon is one of the lowest level demons.


    However, most demons are cruel by nature.


    "Keep going!"


    Two people have died.


    Wei Nan and the other two warriors are still unknown. Mercenaries will not easily abandon their partners. As the cave continues to go deeper, there are many claw demon corpses on the ground, some killed by arrows, some hacked to death by sharp weapons, and some killed by spells.


    "The air is getting more and more turbid. If we continue to chase, we may run out of oxygen." Meng Hu stopped moving forward, stared at the dark cave, frowned and said, "Do we still want to chase?"


    This cave is obviously larger than expected. The deep area of ??the cave lacks circulation, and the air is very turbid, which is not conducive to breathing. It is very dangerous to encounter poisonous gas or suffocation during cave adventures.


    In places like Baisong Town, breathing equipment cannot be bought, so it is not equipped during the adventure.


    When Oscar weighed the risks.


    "Squeak!"


    A sharp cry came from behind.


    "Not good! The bats are coming again!"


    The mercenary''s expression changed drastically, and he immediately took a fighting stance. Almost at the same time, a cry of death came from the cave, and more than a dozen pairs of scarlet and ferocious eyes lit up in the darkness at the same time.


    "Sharp Claw Demon!"


    The mercenary''s expression changed drastically.


    There was a claw demon in front and a group of bats behind. A group of people were surrounded in the middle and there was no way out.


    "Don''t worry about the bats, stop the claw demons!"


    Oscar began to chant, raised his left hand, and released a force from the magic ring. When the swarm of bats rushed over, the formation was suddenly messed up, and they ran around like headless flies. Some directly hit the rock wall, and some fell to the ground.


    The bats were interfered by ultrasonic waves and could not be located. They all lost their sense of direction and were not able to fight for a short time.


    At this time, the claw demons came to kill, at least ten of them, they were very fast, and they could move at high speed on the 90-degree rock wall, or simply on the top rock wall.


    "Kill quickly!"


    Meng Hu was very fast, and raised his hand to shoot two arrows, hitting a claw demon moving at high speed, passing through the body, nailing it to the ground, or on the rock wall.


    Qin Yue cast her best wood magic, with the help of the green forest staff to increase the power. Large vines appeared on the rock wall, swaying like water grass. When the claw demon passed by, the vines immediately tied it up as if stimulated.


    "Rockfall!"


    The mercenary warlock cast a level 1 earth spell, and the huge rock hanging on the rock wall suddenly broke and hit the claw demon.


    The claw demon was very close, Meng Hu drew out the steel knife, took a few mercenary warriors, and went to kill the claw demon head-on.


    Meng Hu was a strong warrior close to the great martial arts master level, with a very strong true energy. The claw demon''s claws fell on his body, even if it could cut through the leather armor, it could only cause a shallow wound.


    As long as Meng Hu paid attention to defending the neck, eyes and other parts, the claw demon could not pose a threat, and the steel knife cut it, and the claw demon had almost no resistance.


    Oscar also came up to help.


    He took out a heavy revolver from his waist and fired a shot.


    Bang!


    Fire splashed, and a large number of steel needles shot out from the barrel, spreading out in sheets. Several claw demons were injured by the steel needles. The mercenaries took the opportunity to rush forward, and the claw demons were quickly wiped out.


    Oscar shouted: "Go!"


    The sound wave interference lasts for a maximum of 1 minute. There are many bat swarms. When the sharp-toothed bats regain their mobility, there will be big trouble.


    It is necessary to find a narrow terrain to hide as soon as possible to defend against the attack of the bat swarm.


    Meng Hu rushed forward directly, but after taking two steps, a roar full of violence and cruelty sounded in his ears. He suddenly felt a sharp gust of wind coming towards him, very fierce.


    "Hoo!"


    Meng Hu shouted violently, no matter who the opponent was, he would hit him with a knife.


    Bang!


    The sound of metal colliding suddenly rang out in the dark cave. Meng Hu felt his arm go numb, and three huge gaps appeared on the steel knife.


    "There is a powerful guy!"


    Oscar quickly sent a [illumination ball], and the light shone over, and a monster three times larger than the ordinary claw demon appeared. This monster looked like a gorilla, with scarlet eyes, dark brown skin, and a pair of 2-foot-long blades, like sharp short knives.


    "Be careful, this is a giant claw demon!"


    The giant claw demon is a level 2 demon, and its strength is not at the same level as the claw demon. Probably due to the strong light, the giant claw demon was very uncomfortable, and immediately covered his eyes and retreated.


    "Kill!"


    Facing such a ferocious monster, Meng Hu had no fear at all, and seized the opportunity to swing his knife to chop it up, but at this moment, from behind the giant claw demon, a nimble figure suddenly jumped out, and six sharp cold lights swept towards Meng Hu at the same time.


    "Damn it! Another one!"


    Even if Meng Hu was brave, he didn''t dare to use his sword to resist the giant claw demon''s attack. He immediately put away his sword and went back to defend. The six claw blades fell on the steel sword with a crisp sound, and the blade broke into several pieces.


    Meng Hu grabbed his shoulder and left three deep wounds.


    The mercenaries hurried over to support. At the critical moment, Qin Yue calmly recited a spell. Vines emerged from the rock walls on both sides and accurately entangled the giant claw demon''s hands. Meng Hu had time to retreat triumphantly.


    "Click!"


    Oscar turned the pistol hard, turned it into a shooting state manually, and shot at the giant claw demon. Countless steel needles and steel balls hit the giant claw demon in pieces, and the giant claw demon was immediately beaten into a bloody mess.


    But the vitality of the demon race is very strong. This shot can only injure it at most, but it is impossible to destroy it!


    The mercenary warlocks cast spells at the same time, one of them used the 1st level spell [Burn], and the other cast the 1st level wood spell [Wood Thorn]. The injured giant claw demon was first burned by the flames, and then a strong wooden thorn pierced its sole, causing the giant claw demon to fall to the ground.


    Another giant claw demon pounced fiercely, and the mercenaries gathered their true energy on the blade and surrounded it with shields.


    "Roar!"


    The giant claw demon swung its right claw, and a mercenary''s shield shattered. The huge force directly hit him against the wall. Two mercenaries chopped at the giant claw demon, and the blade strengthened by true energy pierced into the giant claw demon''s body, but the intensity of this attack was not enough.


    "Roar!"


    The giant claw demon jumped up, and its sharp claws swung out with cold light and hit a mercenary shield. The black wooden shield was directly cut into several huge holes. The giant claw demon''s claws were stuck in the shield. He swung his arm directly, and the mercenary was thrown five meters away by the huge force and fell heavily to the ground.


    Oscar quickly observed the environment and suddenly found that there were many sharp and huge stalactites on the rock wall. He immediately shouted to the mercenary: "Back off! Everyone back off!"


    The mercenary quickly left the battle.


    The giant claw demon thought that the human was running, and roared to chase him.


    "Rock Breaking Technique!"


    Crack!


    A sharp stalagmite weighing hundreds of kilograms suddenly broke off from the root and fell heavily, just inserted into the back of the giant claw demon, and directly pressed it to the ground.


    "Beautiful!"


    Meng Hu shouted excitedly, his true energy gathered in his feet, and he jumped several meters and stepped on the stone, making it impossible for the giant claw demon to stand up. He held the gun and axe in both hands, and the huge axe blade directly chopped off the giant claw demon''s head.


    Another injured giant claw demon also came up again.


    "Hah!"


    Meng Hu roared, and rotated the gun and axe with both hands. The huge axe blade chopped into a semicircle of more than 190 degrees. The strong true energy hung a strong wind, blowing the cheeks of others painfully.


    The giant claw demon was swept across the waist by the axe blade, and black blood splashed everywhere, and retreated continuously. Meng Hu took four steps in a row, holding the gun and axe in both hands, and pushed forward with force.


    The tip of the gun blade pierced into the giant claw demon''s chest and nailed it to a stalactite. The giant claw demon was not dead yet, and twisted his body desperately, trying to break free.


    "Hit it quickly!"


    A mercenary rushed up.


    The giant claw demon roared and slapped him away. Oscar saw this and pulled out his pistol, aiming at the giant claw demon''s head and shot it, creating a powerful impact at close range, smashing its head to pieces!


    The foul-smelling black blood that was contaminating splashed all over the heads and faces of several people.

 Chapter 62 Tearing Demon

    After the two giant claw demons were killed, the sharp-toothed bats gradually regained their mobility. The mercenaries hurriedly dragged their injured companions and continued to move deeper into the cave. Finally, they found a gap to avoid the attack of the bat group.


    "How are the wounded?"


    Meng Hu helped the mercenary bandage his wounds and said, "No one is worried about their lives!"


    Oscar breathed a sigh of relief. The situation just now was really dangerous. A group of sharp-toothed bats, a dozen sharp-clawed demons, and two giant clawed demons. If you are not careful, there is definitely a danger of annihilation!


    Oscar was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Something is wrong!"


    "What''s wrong?"


    Oscar frowned and said, "The bat group, the clawed demons, and the giant clawed demons, the timing of their appearance is too coincidental!"


    The mercenary recalled that it was indeed true. If Oscar had not used magic to stop the sharp-toothed bats, everyone would be in danger. These monsters appeared at the same time, and attacked from the front and back, which was a bit abnormal.


    "Could it be... these monsters are controlled by someone?"


    Qin Yue couldn''t believe it: "It''s impossible, who can control so many monsters, there are two giant claw demons here, they are level 2 demons!"


    To be able to control hundreds of sharp-toothed bats, plus a group of sharp-clawed demons, the magic power must at least reach the level of a 40-ring master magician, or even exceed the level of a master magician.


    There are only a handful of warlocks of this strength in the Baicheng area, and only Weng Lianhai, the chairman of the Warlock Guild, can do it.


    And the magic to control the demons is the legendary demon magic!


    Dark magic is derived from the demon magic of the human race, but in later generations, demons on the mainland are very rare, and Oscar doesn''t know the magic to control demons!


    Now we can''t sit and wait for death. The lives of other people are unknown, and the retreat is full of sharp-toothed bats. It''s not easy to get through. We can only move forward and investigate the matter first.


    Oscar had about half of his mana remaining. When he rested, he added a few [Illumination] spells and constructed a 12-ring [Light Flash]. This is a level 1 light spell with very limited lethality, but it can instantly cause a strong flash of light, causing temporary blindness.


    This has special effects on dark creatures. If Oscar had prepared this spell when dealing with the Claw Demon just now, a [Light Flash] would have burned the Claw Demon''s eyes for at least 10 seconds, making it lose its ability to attack, and the Giant Claw Demon would also be greatly affected.


    "Let''s continue to move forward." Oscar untied the talisman bag, took out a dozen talismans from it, and handed them to Qin Yue and the two warlocks, "Try to save spells and construct more defensive spells to protect yourself. These talismans are all level 1 light energy spells [Light Arrow Spells], with a range of about 50 meters, which have special effects on demons."


    "Light energy spells?"


    The eyes of the two mercenary warlocks lit up.


    Oscar removed the shells from the magazine and took out spare bullets as thick as fingers to load them. It was not safe here. The longer they stayed, the more dangerous it would be. Everyone set out again.


    Meng Hu, carrying a heavy gun and axe, was the first to come out of the gap.


    "Safe!"


    Everyone walked out one by one.


    Oscar said to Qin Yue: "Come behind me. If there is any movement, use defensive spells to protect yourself immediately."


    Qin Yue knew that Oscar was worried about her and nodded. She was the one with the least practical experience here. Although she performed well just now, she still had to be careful.


    "Let''s go!"


    The illumination light ball was pushed slowly, and the light illuminated the situation in the cave. The further inward, the more turbid the air became. This environment could not be stayed for a long time. If there was no result, it was time to consider temporarily retreating.


    A lot of blood appeared in front.


    Two bloody figures were lying on the ground, and they had been bitten into a bloody mess, almost unrecognizable. Several clawed demons and a few sharp-toothed bats were still eating.


    Meng Hu led the mercenaries to rush forward, dealt with the bats and clawed demons, and then checked the bodies. Although the flesh and blood were blurred, the identities could still be identified from the costumes. This was another mercenary and a knight.


    Four people died in the cave, leaving only Wei Nan missing.This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    Meng Hu was very confused: "Although Wei Nan is of a high level, he is just a magician. Without the close protection of a warrior, how could he survive?"


    Oscar did not speak. He found a sharp rock spike on the rock wall, with blood stains on the sharp edge. He compared the marks on the neck of the corpse on the ground and immediately made a judgment.


    "This person was killed by the rock spike!"


    "What do you mean?"


    Oscar looked at the others and said, "It means that this person was killed by human magic, not demons!"


    Qin Yue wanted to understand something. She looked at Oscar and found it difficult to accept this fact, "You mean, the mayor..."


    Why did Wei Nan do this?


    In order to find the answer, several people had to continue moving forward. When they walked out of a narrow passage, they appeared in a fairly wide space.


    Shocking!


    The ground was full of bones!


    This is simply a huge tomb!


    Most of them are villagers, and there are also adventurers. There are only dozens of missing people in Musk Ox Village, but here there are at least more than 200 remains.


    About 40 or 50 meters away, in the middle of countless remains, there is a 5-meter-high platform, which is an altar.


    A figure stood on the altar-Wei Nan!


    "Mayor!"


    "You..."


    Wei Nan did not look kind as usual. At this moment, his face was full of black air, and his bloodshot eyes were full of madness and evil.


    "I didn''t expect that there are so many left!" Wei Nan saw several people coming out and said coldly, "Those beasts are really useless!"


    Meng Hu showed anger: "We were attacked, and it was you who did it. Why did you do this!"


    Qin Yue was also stunned. She always thought that the mayor was a good person.


    Oscar looked at the altar for a while before saying, "This is a demon altar. Are you worshipping a high-level demon?


    No wonder you have made great progress in just a few years, from an apprentice to a magician! I thought you had a special adventure, but it turned out that the demon gave you power!"


    In this era, demons are everywhere.


    There are some powerful and intelligent demons who are particularly good at bewitching people and using humans to do things for them. Demons have some special abilities, among which power is the most common means for demons to seduce humans.


    Oscar should have thought of it earlier.


    The first person to disappear in Musk Ox Village was a healer, and then an apprentice. At first, the victims were all magicians, and this demon targeted the magicians.


    However, Oscar came from an era without demons, and he didn''t think of this for a while. However, he did not think that Wei Nan was actually a subordinate of a demon.


    It was no coincidence that he met the businessman at the dinner that day.


    This was Wei Nan''s conspiracy. The news of the demon cave must have been deliberately leaked!


    Facing the angry crowd, Wei Nan laughed out loud: "You must be surprised! Oscar, you guessed right, your knowledge is too tempting, so I have to take the risk to set up this game!


    As long as I offer you to the master and hold the stripping ceremony, your knowledge and talent will belong to me, and I will also become a genius, hahaha..."


    Qin Yue angrily cursed: "How many innocent people have you killed to gain power!"


    "Humph, don''t put on a righteous face in front of me! Can you understand a poor warlock who is nearly 40 years old, but because of his poor talent, he has nothing and has achieved nothing, and is still an apprentice?


    Can you imagine watching your former classmates stand out one by one, watching the years pass by day by day, full of ambition but mediocre? Have you ever experienced the ridicule and contempt, insults and even beatings of others, and had to kowtow to win pathetic sympathy!


    "Have you experienced your father getting sicker and sicker but having no money to treat him, and finally died in pain, and your mother was exhausted to death by a black-hearted factory in order to earn a little pitiful tuition? ¡±


    ¡°When my father died of illness and my mother died of exhaustion, where was justice?¡±


    ¡°Tell me!¡±


    Wei Nan¡¯s eyes were filled with painful tears and he became hysterical. He pointed at Qin Yue and Oscar and continued to yell.


    ¡°You were born rich!¡±


    ¡°You were born a genius!¡±


    Wei Nan was completely different from usual, roaring hysterically: ¡°This world is unfair! It¡¯s unfair!¡±


    Oscar said coldly: ¡°Have you ever thought about the widow Liu in Musk Ox Village? Is what you did fair to her?¡±


    Wei Nan¡¯s expression froze, and then he roared even more hysterically: ¡°I¡¯m not wrong, it¡¯s the world that¡¯s wrong! If the master hadn¡¯t appeared, if the master hadn¡¯t guided me, I would still be a sad little reptile! I¡¯m not wrong, I¡¯m not wrong!¡±


    Meng Hu drew his bow: ¡°Why are you talking nonsense with a madman! Kill him first! "


    Snap!


    The sound of glass breaking was heard.


    Wei Nan''s level 2 spell shield was shattered by an arrow!


    Wei Nan didn''t expect Meng Hu to be so powerful. He fell to his knees on the altar and shouted, "Master, help me! Sacrifice 500 strong humans afterwards!"


    A sinister, evil and greedy voice made Oscar feel cold in his heart, as if someone was hiding in the altar and talking, "Not enough, I want 1,000 people!"


    Wei Nan''s face twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No problem!"


    "Who is talking! "


    Meng Hu was very surprised, but he did not stop. He pulled the infusion of true energy and shot another arrow at Wei Nan. This arrow was powerful enough to break gold and shatter stone. When it was about to penetrate Wei Nan''s body, the altar suddenly emitted a black light and the arrow was directly bounced off.


    Everyone''s expression changed.


    At this time, roars came from all directions, and a group of clawed demons appeared, about seven or eight, among which there was a particularly tall giant clawed demon.


    The clawed demon directly launched a fierce attack on everyone. Meng Hu pulled the heavy bow, the string sounded twice, and the clawed demon fell down.


    "Kill!"


    The mercenary drew out the battle axe, sword, and shield, and rushed forward fiercely, fighting with the clawed demon.


    Oscar saw that the giant clawed demon did not participate in the battle but was like an agile monkey, bouncing on the stalactites and heading towards the altar.


    Oscar thought of something and immediately shouted: "Meng Hu, shoot the giant clawed demon! "


    Meng Hu was a sharpshooter, and his arrows were so sharp that even though the giant claw demon was moving at high speed, he was still shot in the back by an arrow, and the huge force knocked him to the ground.


    The giant claw demon''s internal organs must have been injured by the true qi, but the demon''s life force was very tenacious. Although it was severely injured, the giant claw demon turned over and stood up, jumped up, and landed on the altar.


    "Oh no!"


    Oscar looked solemn.


    "Roar¡ª¡ª! "


    The giant claw demon roared on the altar, and a black breath poured out from the altar, continuously penetrating into the giant claw demon''s body.


    The giant claw demon was originally about the same size as a human, but after obtaining this evil and powerful power, it immediately became nearly twice as thick and taller than a tiger. Delicate black scales grew on its originally wrinkled black skin,


    A tuft of thick white hair grew on its bald forehead and back, and the finger blades that were originally two feet long became nearly three feet long and were bright red like blood.


    "It has evolved!"


    "Level 3 demon - tearing demon!"


    This is a level 3 demon!


    Equivalent to the strength of a great martial artist!


    With Wei Nan, a magician, helping out, do these people still have a chance of winning?
