Chapter 104 Chapter 102 The Hand of the Mage
"Ask me where you can live safely? You have asked the right person. If you want to buy a car or a house, you can come to me and I will give you an internal preferential price." Lucy is particularly enthusiastic about Zhuang Xuteng, just like every real estate salesperson.
Same. "Did you receive the bonus from PCPD and want to improve your accommodation conditions?"
"I have this idea, but it's more because I heard that someone is inquiring about me." Zhuang Xuteng looked at Lucy with a smile, but what he said did not make people happy: "I thought I would learn from you.
Heard a warning here."
"I think you misunderstood - you will not hear a warning from me." Lucy waved her hand and said: "If anyone asks me for information about you, I will let him die. If the middleman does not have such courage and
If you don’t have the ability, it’s best not to do this job. But I don’t rule out a situation, that is, I really can’t do anything to the opponent and can’t kill him. At that time, I will try my best to escape. If one day you can’t find me, finally
So start escaping immediately."
Zhuang Xuteng was stunned. He didn't expect Lucy to be so tough, realistic and frank. "So, Viper won't come to you?"
"Not yet. I think his middleman D Fatty has warned him." Lucy thought for a while and said: "Maybe Gonggongdao introduced you to me because he thought of this step to see if he could use me.
The rules to deal with Viper?"
"Brother Dao just wants to do it himself, and will not use others as a pretense."
"I think so too." Lucy chuckled a few times behind the mask, and then asked: "Let's talk about the house. What kind of one do you want to rent?"
"Safe, comfortable, and undisturbed." Zhuang Xuteng had thought about his requirements before coming to see Lucy: "There are many escape routes, probably similar to what you have here."
"Learn from me? You are really good at making demands." Lucy shook her head and said: "That kind of house is not economical for you. I don't recommend it, but I can let you try it out. Two thousand euros each.
Month, the price will not be increased for you within four months. You must keep the facilities inside unchanged and maintain good hygiene. If you agree, you can take the key now."
Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said, "If the Viper guys don't know how to find me and then smash the place to pieces, I won't pay you any money."
Lucy waved her hand and said: "Cunning boy, you are clearly trying to seduce me! Okay, I think you have a bright future and can make me money, so I won't let anyone break the rules and cause trouble for you.
Yes. Just rest assured and don’t forget to have the money ready."
The single apartment located on the outskirts of the city has a living area of only 80 square meters. Even if it comes with a hidden garage, the interior is very warm. The price of two thousand euros a month is a bit too expensive. Zhuang Xuteng's first impression was like this until he found the owner's manual of the house.
After taking a closer look, I realized there was another mystery here.
It is not 80 square meters, but 80+180 square meters. Enter the mezzanine of the room from the hidden passage under the bathroom bathtub, go down one floor, and you can reach the real residence, which is a 180-square-meter house that combines two sets of rooms.
Single apartment. Nominally he lives on the 17th floor, but actually lives on the 15th floor. This feeling is very interesting.
This is a dark room in an apartment building. From the outside corridor, it looks like two old residences that cannot be rented out. No one would think that there is a whole other world inside. The entire room is closed with good sound insulation boards, and the windows cannot be opened and are completely closed.
Blackout, equipment that can monitor the rooms upstairs is installed, and you can also know the situation outside the door. In addition to leaving through the door on the 17th floor,
During emergency evacuation, you can choose to stagger the floors and exit from the 15th floor. You can also use the fire rappelling pipe to leave from the balcony. You can even open the cover behind the bedroom closet and drill a secret tunnel to directly enter the elevator shaft...
It is mentioned in the instructions for use that the buffer zone at the bottom of the elevator shaft can lead to the city's comprehensive underground system, that is, to evacuate from the sewer.
Apart from flying out, Zhuang Xuteng could not think of a more comprehensive, safer, and more accessible residence.
Since the windows cannot be opened, it feels a little stuffy here. It will be much better after using the fresh air circulation system, but it will make a little noise. Zhuang Xuteng let it run for an hour and felt that it was almost turned off, and then he settled here with peace of mind. Water, electricity and heating
They are all fully equipped, and there is no problem for bathing and cooking. The soundproofing facilities are complete, making it perfect for continuing tennis throwing training.
"This is not a trial stay at all!" Zhuang Xuteng gradually understood Lucy's intentions: "For a person who needs a sense of security, once he moves in and understands its advantages, he will not be able to feel at ease unless he buys this place!"
Lucy bought an entire building and transformed the interior into a maze-like shape. Zhuang Xuteng now lives in a miniature version, a youth version. With a rent of two thousand euros a month, he bought a safe and comfortable place that he can no longer ask for.
More. The four-month trial period can, on the one hand, reduce the heat caused by the 11-person group incident, and on the other hand, it can also observe Viper's follow-up actions in order to make targeted decisions. It must be said that Lucy's arrangement is very considerate.
From the time he fainted with the bone spear in the morning, to now that everything was arranged, Zhuang Xuteng was finally able to calm down, meditate peacefully, and went to the 72 Stone Pillar Hall to find the Lich Master to ask about the situation.
"I'm waiting for you!" Before Zhuang Xuteng could say anything, Master Lich jumped out on his own. The pink skull chased Zhuang Xuteng and said, "You cast a spell, you really cast a spell! Do you understand what this means?
?”
"The bone spear technique is just a spell, of course I am casting it!"
"No, before you used the bone spear technique to imitate the technique of a pistol, and you used shadow to cast spells; but now you use your own mana to cast spells! The reason why you fainted is because your mana has been exhausted. This
Very rare in novice spellcasters."
Zhuang Xuteng shook his head, walked up to the throne and sat down on one leg, and then said: "I don't feel any difference at all when I use shadow to cast spells and mana to cast spells."
"Excessive use of mana will drain your soul and kill you, but Shadow Clan will not."
"I have always used the same method to perform the Bone Spear Technique. I have not chosen shadow followers or mana."
"Here's where it gets interesting! I think the adaptive shadow implant in your arm did its job, allowing you to switch from shadow casting to mana casting. If this is correct, then you can try to cast my spell,
That is necromancy."
Master Lich believes that the "shadow followers" in this world will absorb energy from two sources. One is the user's own physical fitness, and the other is from similar devices around them, especially those connected to the power grid or other energy sources.
The physical quality of the system's shadow followers accounts for the main part, but those shadow followers that do not bite, such as the grenades controlled by the shadow followers, can still work by absorbing other equipment.
Zhuang Xuteng's physical condition is quite special. In addition to being an ordinary person in this world, he also has a Lich Master living in his body, and the latter is a source of mana. Until now, Zhuang Xuteng has been unable to use the Lich Master's mana, which is composed of mana.
magic can't
To take effect. They must take a long way around and use the shadow follower rune to "simulate" the spell effect, that is, use Zhuang Xuteng's body as a shadow follower, and the Lich Master is a living shadow follower. The two are combined into a pistol, and the bone spear technique is equivalent to
Yu gave the order to fire the pistol.
Going around and around, everything built in the past revolved around shadow energy, and everything came from physical quality. Therefore, Zhuang Xuteng used the bone spear technique before, which was essentially a very adaptable shadow pistol. It didn't bite very much, but it would eventually
Bite. But after installing the arm adaptation shadow slave implant, it seems that a certain threshold has been exceeded. The step of turning around is no longer needed. Zhuang Xuteng directly uses his own magic power to drive the bone spear, and his body will not hurt.
Risk shifts to the mind and spirit.
"This is obviously more dangerous!" Zhuang Xuteng shook his head repeatedly and said: "My arm hurts. I have to suppress the inhalation of mist, or relax my muscles and stop shooting. If my brain gets dizzy, I may faint directly and there is no way to save it!"
This is not good, very bad!”
"That's because you don't know how to control the amount of mana, but I know! What you are facing is a problem that all mage apprentices will encounter. I have dozens of ways to solve it." The Lich Master looked very excited.
, said: "Finally...finally...my knowledge can be put to use!"
"Congratulations." Zhuang Xuteng clapped his hands perfunctorily and said, "You are finally useful."
"Why aren't you excited at all? If you learn my magic, you will become very powerful!"
"I'm not as smart as you, and it took you three hundred years to learn magic. People in your world have an average life span of five hundred years, while mine only lasts seventy or eighty years. And you've also calculated the time on both sides.
It’s almost the same, so I’ll be dead before I can learn how to extend my life.”
The Lich Master thought for a while and nodded slowly: "Well, that's true. The magic of extending life is quite difficult. You can learn it if you are brave enough."
Zhuang Xuteng continued: "In order to improve my intelligence, I also learned some basics. Among the basic spells, what spell is more direct, simpler and more effective than firing a shot? You admit it yourself, if the bone spear is not improved, it will not be possible at all.
It's not as good as the Shadow Clan Pistol, and the Shadow Clan Guns the two of us saw were only for police use. There are also weapons for military use, company use, and specially made weapons. I took the trouble to learn those just to improve my intelligence. If I want to change
Awesome, spending money to buy better weapons is the right way."
"It can't be said that. There is indeed no killing spell that is more efficient than the shadow slave gun, but what about other categories? Can you use the shadow slave device to make the dead speak? Can you control zombies? Can you let ghosts detect for you?
?”
It's not that Zhuang Xuteng is ignorant, he just doesn't know. He became interested as soon as he heard it: "Can necromancy be used to do this?"
"Of course! As long as you improve your intelligence and practice according to the method I teach you, you can learn these spells. When you get stronger and your mana reserve grows, I will teach you more powerful spells, and you can give
I created a body to get rid of my current state, and then you will be safe!" Master Lich's eyes flickered, and he continued to persuade Zhuang Xuteng.
"That's a good idea. First tell me how to avoid passing out after casting too many spells, okay?"
