85. The night of the full moon
"Do you know? There are more geniuses in the history of the hospital, but geniuses who died in the middle will not appear in the history of the hospital. They are all losers and do not have the qualifications." Li Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: "Their geniuses may not be worse than mine who survived, but some things are inconvenient to record even after they die. Perhaps they have some shocking secrets that will never come out."
"Oh, so that's it..." Mani was a little disappointed, but she understood what Li Yi meant, but she felt that his was too cruel, and reality also had many beautiful things, so why are you always obsessed with killing and scheming?
"Do you still want broth?" Li Yi asked suddenly.
"Ah! I want to drink, I also want to eat some smoked sausages and bacon sandwiches." Mani likes the city-state's food very much, and the smoked meat is her favorite.
"No problem, wait a moment." Li Yi called the waiter and gave him a few tips of a gold coin, asking him to bring the food as soon as possible.
In this wet and cold weather, warm interiors and stoves are essential. Li Yi spent a morning guessing, but found nothing. He finally turned his attention to the ancient characters buried underground, the full moon night.
"Is it a werewolf on the full moon night?" Li Yi thought of the scene where a man turned into a werewolf under the full moon, and then he couldn't help laughing. "It has a big relationship with the werewolf. How could such a fabricated thing exist? By the way, I'd better ask the local old man to see what abnormalities this city-state has on every month's full moon night."
Thinking of this, Li Yi put on his clothes and went out, and he was going to visit the local old man.
"On the full moon night? There will be a moon tide!" The old woman looked very kind. She poured Li Yi a cup of hot tea.
"Yuechao? What is that?" Li Yi had never heard of this word.
"Every year in mid-July, when the moon reaches its fullest moment, the fire monsters in the nearby mountains will fly into the sky in groups to chase the moon, just like a tide."
"Oh, then what abnormal things happen at this time of year?" Li Yi asked.
"Abnormal? I don't know what can be considered anomaly. However, every time the moon tide is shaking, the earth will shake, and the house will shake violently. It will be like this every year. It's a small earthquake, so it's good to get used to it. But in the past few years... I've calculated that there have been ten years, but no earthquakes occurred during the moon tide. I'm really worried. Do you know? I heard that small earthquakes can vent the energy of the earth, but if you don't vent for a long time, there will be a major earthquake. Just like a small hole in a pot with boiling water, otherwise it will spread out."
Li Yi suddenly realized that he felt that he had learned about the truth of the incident and the secret of the volcano. Someone must be manipulating something here. He still needs further confirmation that the public library of the city-state is the best place to go now.
People who often play with conspiracies are the most sensitive to conspiracies. Li Yi noticed a trace of artificial manipulation from these vague connections. He now strongly wants to participate in this conspiracy and obtain benefits, and even turn the enemy to the main point.
In the public library, Li Yi checked the most orthodox city-state history. It turned out that in mid-July, on the full moon every year, the fire monsters would fly into the sky in groups. A fiery red ocean, accompanied by a slight earthquake, formed a strange landscape. This history began when there were written records. However, in the past ten years, for some reason, the fire monsters still flew into the sky, but the earthquake disappeared. People speculated that the earth was exhausted and stopped breathing like this.
"It is impossible for the full moon to cause an earthquake. So what is the connection between the earthquake that occurs on time and the fire demon? Could it be that the flying of the fire demon caused the earthquake? Ten years ago..." Li Yi suddenly remembered something. The Fire Demon Club in the city-state was established ten years ago.
A bold inference was formed in his head, but to further confirm that there was something else - the Fire Demon Eye ten years ago.
The process of Li Yi finding the Fire Demon Eye ten years ago was very difficult. He asked among the explorers who hunted the Fire Demon and asked if there were anyone who treasured the Fire Demon Eye, but after they got it, they changed it to a spirit crystal. There was only one old explorer who was intrigued more than ten years ago and carved a fire demon eye into a vivid fire demon model and placed it in his room as an ornament.
After paying a price that made the other party excited, Li Yi successfully got the Fire Demon Eye ten years ago. He returned to the cold pool and let Aljie dive into the water again.
Alger swam along the narrow underground crack to a piece of ancient metal crossing the water surface. The Fire Demon Eye, ten years ago, suddenly moved, and a magical attraction stretched out from the metal. He grabbed the Fire Demon Eye tightly, making it difficult to separate them.
If the Fire Demon Eye approaches the metal ten years later, this phenomenon will not occur. After clarifying this fact, Li Yi suddenly realized.
"What a perfect plan!" he sighed, and also sorted out his ideas: "In ancient times, some powerful explorers built cities on this land, but the power of nature has always been harsh. It is located at the junction of mainland plates and is prone to devastating tectonic earthquakes. There is a huge crater lake at the foot of the mountains. When plate movement triggers large tectonic earthquakes, it will also induce volcanic earthquakes caused by magma loss. So these powerful explorers came up with a clever way so that people can not only cultivate on fertile volcanic soil, but also avoid disasters. This method is to bury countless metal blocks underground.
The metal blocks are strong and not easily rusted by water and salt. A large number of special magnetic particles are put into the magma. This magnet is definitely different from ordinary magnets and is only attractive to these underground metal blocks. The fire demons living in volcanoes are also a kind of domesticated spirit. They reproduce very quickly and will absorb magma. At the same time, the special magnets condense in the body, especially the eyes. On the Mid-Autumn Festival night every year, according to the training habits, they will fly into the sky collectively. At this time, the underground metal blocks are pulled by gravity, causing small earthquakes. In this way, the accumulated power on the earth is released little by little, and there will be no major earthquakes."
"And, these ancient explorers put a treasure containing ice spirit power in the magma lake underground in the volcanic group to suppress the magma and prevent the volcanic eruption. At the same time, the fire demon sucks the heat of the magma every day, which will also weaken the power of nature. This should be a barren land where earthquakes accompany the eruption of volcanics. Ancient explorers use great wisdom and great power to domesticate nature. However, countless years have passed, these powerful explorers can no longer shelter this land. A conspirator appeared. He wanted to get the ice treasure to suppress the volcano, so he continued to invest in the magma to neutralize the special.
Magnetic matter, so every year during the moon tide, when the fire demons flew into the sky in groups, there was no longer a small shock. The power of the earth was not released, and it accumulated year by year. If, on the full moon night this year, this conspirator did not put magnetic neutralizers into the magma, the body of the fire demon would be full of magnetism. When the moon tide came, the power of the earth would be released as unprecedentedly fierce. This city-state, even several nearby small city-states, will be destroyed. Haha, in the destruction, the earth will crack, and the magma eruption will bring out the ice-type treasure that suppresses the magma lake, and the conspirator's purpose will be achieved."
"Although the manipulator behind the scenes may not have caused an earthquake this year, my intuition told me that the man couldn't wait for so long. Ten years have been too long. The power of the earth is probably accumulated to the extreme. If it is not induced, it will be uncontrollable. The uncontrollable factor is something a qualified conspirator doesn't like." Li Yi returned to the hotel with satisfaction, went to enjoy his lunch and rewarded himself.
"Mani, do you like this city-state?" Li Yi suddenly put down his fork and looked up to ask her.
"Ah?" Mani was cutting a piece of thick sauce barbecue hard. When she suddenly heard this question, she answered Li Yi excitedly: "I like it very much! The things here are so delicious!" Her face turned red due to being too excited.
"Haha," Li Yi smiled and shook his head, "Then it will continue to exist after this year's moon tide." Suddenly, this inexplicable sentence came.
Mani didn't know that because of her own words, millions of civilians in this city-state were saved from the disaster. She enjoyed all the sunshine, delicious food, air and local lime juice happily and carefreely.
"Originally, my plan was to take action to snatch the ice treasure that suppressed the volcano after the conspirator achieved his goal, and the fisherman benefited. Since Mani liked this place, then this city-state had enough reason not to be destroyed, and the plan changed from intercept to sniper. It was really not easy!" Li Yi stood alone on the roof of the hotel, where he could think quietly. The raindrops fell on the umbrella and the cool breeze poured into his chest.
"Even if that guy stopped, how can the energy accumulated in the earth's crust be released? The power accumulated over ten years is too terrible, enough to destroy everything. Let me think about it carefully, there must be a way." Li Yi was not left for less time, only half a month. If you didn't think of the plan to stop that person before the moon tide, then this place would become a sea of fire and a collapsed world.
"Before I think of a plan to stop them, I have to understand the other party's strength first. If I know nothing, it will be very passive and will not be conducive to the implementation of the plan." Li Yi decided to alert the enemy.
A few days later, a news spread among the explorers who captured the fire demon. The cold pool in a certain valley had the ability to improve the 50% quality of the Fire demon's Eye! This was a blessing for the hunters who risked their lives to capture the fire demon. The explorers who flocked to surround the pool water.
Then the secret of the Cold Pond was exposed, including the huge metal buried deep underground, the strange ice cold through the rocks, and another rumor began to rise - there was an extremely powerful ice-type treasure here, which could release the spiritual power of ice all the time. Driven by interests, the explorers dig out the rocks one after another. The more they dig into the ice, the more they became richer, and they became more excited, thinking that this treasure was within their reach, and even guarded against each other to prepare to snatch the treasure.
But after digging, they found that they could not dig any further. Those ten thousand-year-old ice were not something that could be dug by a mere green spirit.
At the same time, in the basement of the Fire Demon Club, the long-haired young man with glasses was also informed of the specific information about this situation.
"Mr. Allen, what should we do?" the waiter bent down to salute him.
"Hmph! This cold pool is a variable in the plan. I'm really unlucky. If you go to investigate who released the news of the discovery of the cold pool, it's strange that this person found that the cold pool did not possess it quietly but spread it everywhere. My plan has been going on for ten years. As a descendant of the Kent family and a young genius, I disappeared for so many years. My reputation was unknown. After obtaining that thing this time, I went back to let a group of idiots see my true strength." A noble young man named Allen habitually supported the mirror frame with his middle finger.
"Mr. Allen, according to the investigation, was an explorer named Anze and an explorer named Sivia, so he chose to gamble in this valley. Many explorers helped or bet, and accidentally discovered the cold pond during the bet." The waiter reported truthfully.
"Well, so that's the case. What I worry most is that someone already knows my plan and sniped the plan. It seems that I'm thinking too much." Allen lowered his head and thought, and the long hair fell from his side like a waterfall, each of which was extremely straight.
"Celestino, you take people to occupy this cold pool and fake a battle. The content is that the people from the Fire Demon Club found a golden ice spirit at the bottom of the cold pool, and captured it and imprisoned it at the bottom of the pond. Then, the cold pool is opened to explorers as a paid item. It is time for these weak explorers to see the strength of the club. It is not good to always regard this place as a entertainment bar." said the long-haired young man.
"Yes, young master." An old housekeeper wearing a black evening dress, hunched figure and a monocle glasses came from the side. He turned out to be a gold-level explorer!
The rumors were quickly curbed, and the club occupied the cold pool. In front of the golden spirit, the green explorers had no say. However, the price of the club's soaking service for the Fire Demon Eye is very low, which made the explorers feel very orderly and were relieved to hand over the harvested spirit crystals to the club for soaking, because at least it would be effective to soak in the cold pool overnight.
Li Yi hid in the dark and watched coldly. He would not really think that the residents of the bottom of the cold pond were a powerful ice spirit, just like those explorers who captured the fire demon, and the Fire Demon Club promptly and quickly refuted the rumors that he began to appreciate the opponent behind the scenes.
However, he also successfully got what he wanted - the strength of the Fire Demon Club, and did not let Allen know that discovering the Cold Pond was the result of artificial manipulation.
"They dispatched at least three gold-level spirits in this operation, and their potential strength is estimated to be more than six gold-level spirits. Two gold-level explorers are too strong and have no chance of winning head-on. Moreover, the other party is also a conspirator with perfect intelligence, which is not so easy to calculate." Li Yi met such a powerful opponent for the first time, which made him very happy and full of fighting spirit. After entering the Sky Academy, he was plotting for impulsive and proud rich children, inequality robbers, tomb robbers, and explorers who captured fire demons. It was too difficult. Although it was quite rewarding, it always had no technical content.
