69. Lack of spirit crystals
"That's great. I, you must be a hidden character. It's true!" Feld used crude means to flatter Li Yi.
However, whether this plan is really implemented depends on the opinions of the other two companions, otherwise they are stubborn, but the life and death of their companions is a taboo in cooperation. How to convince the two companions is still a problem, and the goods that the robbers robbed should be returned to the hospital in principle.
Dionysus and Andrew gathered in Li Yi's living room again. Li Yi slowly boiled a pot of good coffee. No word, the three of them looked at each other silently at the table, as if they were waiting tacitly for the coffee to be cooked.
Finally, Dionysus couldn't stand the suppressed quiet atmosphere, and he spoke, "Hey, buddy, what instructions do we have to come here? Has that mission changed?"
"Bang!" Li Yi slapped the table, "It has nothing to do with the task. I just thought of some questions and brought you over to discuss it. After all, there is little progress in working behind closed doors, and only more communication can lead to results."
"Every time you talk, you must have something hidden in your stomach. Come out if you have anything to do! Let's solve it together, don't cover it there and smell it!" Andrew was still as old and stingy as ever.
"Haha," Li Yi laughed dryly, "It's still Lao Mei knows me, it's the real thing!" He waved his hand and continued, "Do you lack spiritual crystals?"
The two of them were really silent. This problem was exactly their biggest dilemma at present. They only had unusual spirits, but lacked spiritual crystals and could not accumulate spiritual power. It would take a long time to recover after training occasionally. If there were enough spiritual crystals, nothing was impossible.
"I know you have ideals, ambitions, people you want to kill and things you want to accomplish, but without spiritual crystals, the speed of spiritual accumulation of spiritual power is too slow, and we can't do anything. Those noble students who we despise with the rich background of the family will sooner or later catch up with them."
"But where to get the spirit crystal? Take on these tasks?" Andlu asked tentatively.
"This task takes four or five days to complete. There are already a lot of five hundred white spirit crystals at a time. However, our spirits can eat more than this number of food in a day! What do we use to support them? Use our so-called talents?" Li Yi pointed out this problem - they are unable to make ends meet.
"So, we can take these tasks, but we have to earn more than we can on the surface. As the saying goes, people are not rich without money. If you want to make money, don't be afraid of getting dirty. Just wash them clean afterwards." Li Yi was mysterious.
"You kid got your idea to the yard?" Andrew blinked, "You want to kill those robbers, not only to take their heads to receive rewards, but also to take the things they have robbed for so many years for themselves?"
"By the way, that's it. What do you think? Should I do this or wait for the money to come? I'll listen to the opinions of the masses."
"Ratch! Why not rob? Anyway, it's all things that these robbers get for nothing, so let's take them over and use them." Dionysus obviously followed Li Yi's lead.
"What's the reason? It's like someone stole something in the courtyard. We killed the thief and took the thief. This is called fire! We are essentially thieves!" Andlu sternly said.
"It hit the nail on the head!" Li Yi clapped his hands and applauded, "If it weren't for this problem, I wouldn't have called you here. How can I get the stolen stolen and be legitimate?"
"Then we quietly took this wealth and did not let others know." Dionysus suggested.
"This is nonsense. The mission we took on, the robbers we killed were inseparable from the relationship. Sooner or later, it will be found out. Isn't it easy for a top-level force like Sky Academy to check something?" Li Yi waved his hand, "
Let the hospital know that we took it, but let others have nothing to say."
"I have a good idea. Do you think it's okay?" Andrew frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Pretending to be seriously injured, we go to escort goods. There are robbers, and we welcome the enemy. Dionysus was seriously injured in the battle. Then we avenge our brothers, pursue the enemy all the way, encircle them all in their lairs, and the seized spoils will naturally become the kid's recuperation. Anyway, he has the ancient witch spirit. He heard that the ancient witch clan is all the potion masters and spell masters. It should be no problem to pretend to be seriously injured."
"But, the Academy will definitely see it!" Dionysus felt that it was still not possible.
"If we embezzle this batch of wealth, the hospital will definitely punish us, not because this batch of goods is so important to the hospital, but because we have no reason to swallow them. Now that we have the reason for compensation for damage, it is legitimate in theory, and the hospital will not be scruples with us because of this little thing." Andrew explained.
"This is indeed a good idea. Even if this matter is reached, we must plan carefully and make careful calculations," Li Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Let me leave this matter to do, after all, I proposed this resolution first."
"Well, we are indeed inferior to you when we speculate on others' psychology, carefully calculating." Andrew admitted, and Dionysus agreed, and the matter was settled.
Li Yi poured them coffee, and the three of them drank silently and went back.
"This is the first activity I planned. Only when I have to do it well will my companions trust me in the future. This is a difficult and very dangerous thing. However, with Isabella giving me advice, it will be much easier." Li Yi smiled and looked at the three-color rose pupils dancing in the room.
She specifically occupied a room filled with all kinds of strange things, such as crystal pebbles, various small cards painted with color, candied fruit and crystal bottles. The walls were also painted with colorful acrylic to form a mimetic environment of the deep sea, and even a illusion of tropical fish was arranged.
Feld didn't have this treatment. He didn't like to stay indoors anyway. He squatted in the yard most of the time and thought about life. Even if it rained, the birds thought he was a hard and lifeless stone, and they stopped on his moss-covered iron shoulders. This was a unique personality. Li Yi heard that the thorn birds on Ander Road liked to bury their heads in the soil and wait for it to sprout. Compared with this, Feld was still relatively normal.
His elder brother Edmund hasn't seen it these days. It's probably because he has something to do in the inner courtyard. The Sky Court is divided into the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, and it goes deep into the courtyard. After passing the parish, there is a heavily guarded sand area. The dense wire mesh isolates the outside world. Behind the sand area is the inner courtyard of the courtyard, a place that is extremely mysterious in the mouth of the student. Even the teachers in the courtyard are secretive, which is the real core of the courtyard. Li Yi has never known who the principal is since he entered this courtyard.
Li Yi temporarily took over his library work, and of course the hospital also paid a generous reward, three hundred white spirit crystals every day. It was probably Edmund who helped him to have this job. Now Feld and Isabella have something to eat again.
The next day, the convoy set off. Four red horses were pulling mahogany boxes. The box was more than one person tall, but it was extremely wide. There were cowhide rivets nailed on the outside. Li Yi estimated that it had a volume of 300 cubic meters and was filled with potions. With the gel used for shock absorption, it was also estimated that there were 20,000 potions. The 20,000 potions were 20,000 white spirit crystals, or one thousand blue spirit crystals. It was really a huge sum of money.
"I don't know how many car skin medicinal materials the robbers robbed." Li Yi thought.
Starting from the east gate of the Red Rock City State, the Ike City State in the southeast is the destination, with a large area of mountains and wilderness in the middle. The robbers hide in the depths of the wilderness and fight guerrillas, which is very cunning.
In addition to Li Yi and the other three, there were ten porters and a captain in the team. The porters were all ordinary young and middle-aged people. The captain was a middle-aged man named Juan, a blue-level explorer. He rode a tall dark horse with a big beard and orange-yellow color. He looked like a clump of corn whiskers. He looked generous and dressed in a leather robe.
It is late autumn now, with red leaves falling, the sky is high and blue, you can see it far away, the woods appear sparse, and the birch leaves are withered and yellow. Chaohui in the distance passes through the woods and falls on Li Yi and others. In the morning, the ground is covered with white frost and the weather is extremely cold.
"If you lose, you will give up the goods and run away. Although these robbers are extremely vicious, they are also afraid of the Sky Garden and dare not kill them." Juan let out a breath of white breath, and his thick beard was covered with ice. He was explaining the situation on the way to the three escort explorers.
"I heard that there are four robbers, each with one to two D-level spirits. Uncle Juan, do you think they will add more personnel?" Li Yi sat on the roof of the car and lowered his head to ask the captain riding a horse.
"I infer that it is unlikely, because they defeated the escorts in the previous few times and easily got the goods. There is no need to have one more person." Juan thought for a while and analyzed.
"Well, that's true, I'll feel relieved. If there is one more, I don't know what to do!" Li Yi gave a breath and smiled at Juan.
But he was thinking in his mind that the previous few times had been successful, so this time the hospital increased the bounty, and the other party would definitely increase the manpower. In order to prevent the explorer who was stronger than before, there was at least one more robber in the escort team. More likely, there were two more, five robbers attacking the convoy, and one was attacking in secret. This is an inference, and other situations are not ruled out. It seems that there will be a fierce battle, and of course there will be some very interesting things to happen, but everything is in his plan.
Before leaving, Li Yi and his companions wrote down their plans, and they all kept them down and were ready to go.
"Innocence and cold!" Li Yi wrapped his raccoon fur coat tightly, looking furry. With his slightly narrowed eyes and big forehead, he looked harmless. He took out a bag of coffee beans and a bottle of whiskey from his arms, "I wish there was a fire!"
"Dult whiskey, this wine is good!" Juan was envious when he saw the label on the whiskey bottle.
"Oh? Is this brand very good? It's from the hospital. I don't drink much and I plan to use it to drive away the cold." Li Yi carefully put the bottle back into his arms.
"Driving the cold? Try my own brewed apple bar! It was just opened in September and it fermented very well." Juan took down the leather pot at his waist and handed it to Li Yi.
"Fruit wine? That's great. Let me change it with you. Anyway, I don't like to drink any whiskey. Fruit wine is just right for me. When I was a child, my grandfather made a lot of wine in front of the house, and sometimes made cider. Now I am in a different place and I can drink the taste of my hometown." Li Yi sighed, and he took out the whiskey from his arms and gave it to Juan again.
"Haha, I prefer whiskey, especially this one that is vintage, which is simply excellent and delicious!" Juan's index finger moved, but it was not convenient to drink when riding on the horse. He didn't carry a bottle opener or something with him, so he had to look at it with jealousy and hold the bottle in his hand and take it carefully.
"By the way, what is our itinerary? Didn't we pass through the city-state of Eldessa on the way?" Li Yi lay on his back on the roof of the car and chatted casually with Juan, while his two companions rode their horses at the end of the convoy.
"Our route this time is to first go to Versailles, then turn to Eldessa, and finally to Ike, and the mission is completed. These robbers are very cunning and can find us clearly along the traces of our trip. I hope you don't encounter this time." Juan was worried.
"I have a relative in Eldessa. If I can go there this time, I can visit him along the way!" Li Yi clapped his hands.
"That's something to be happy about!"
"Well, why can you, the robber, clearly know the path you are going to take every time? Do they have a very special way of tracking, or use something to monitor us?" Li Yi thought for a while and asked with a frown.
"This is unlikely. After all, everyone is an explorer, and there are surveillance spirits that can be noticed when approaching." Juan denied Li Yi's inference.
"Yes, but what is that?" Li Yi pointed his hand, and the space only five or six meters away from the convoy was blurred, and an eyeball-shaped spirit revealed his body!
At the same time, Dionysus's grass spirit sheep man Pan instantly activated the spiritual technique, "Parasite!" He and Li Yi cooperated seamlessly.
A cluster of strange and charming thorns wrapped around the body of the spirit. It quickly shrank without even having time to struggle and lost the breath of life.
The thorn bloomed a four-petal blue flower on its corpse. Pan walked over swayingly, stretched out his mouth to chew the flowers. This flower absorbed all the essence of the eyeball-shaped spirit and was rich in nutrients.
"You!" Juan said in shock. He forced himself to suppress his shock and swallowed the second half of the sentence deeply into his throat.
"Oh!" Li Yi applauded, "It's a reconnaissance phantom spirit, with a very powerful hidden ability, and even my perception has been deceived. By the way, Uncle Juan, what did you think just now?"
"Well, how did you find it? What a high spiritual affinity!"
"Actually, I didn't realize it, it was just that it was a little too sexy. It would be fine if it set up a small-scale weed illusion, but it also turned into a mole cricket. In this kind of weather, the mole cricket has hibernated." Li Yi explained.
Juan's face twitched, "You have discovered such details..."
"There is no way, the robbers are fierce, we can't do without a solution." He happily drank the golden cider with some scones, while watching the distance, the sun rose.
The golden sunlight is warm and clear, slightly dispelling the cold of the morning. Feeling the thrill of the sun. The streams with thin ice gradually thawed, and the red-mouthed birds grind their beaks on the sand and stones by the stream. Everything is full of the tension of life.
