Returning from the abyss

Chapter 457 Star Gazer

"A few generations back from Lucylvia, there was a guy who planned to open the door to other worlds through a large number of sacrifices. This matter failed because it was revealed, and he himself was given a blow by the monster that appeared in the crack that was eagerly opened. I ate it, but it is enough to be convicted. These are major matters, so you can find the case files in places like courts."

"Why are the descendants also together?" Lu Ning and Saber asked together.

"This is also a helpless move, because criminals charged with crimes against humanity generally have some spiritual technology, and they even do not hesitate to destroy and reconstruct themselves mentally to obtain some kind of gnosis. And genetic, so their offspring must be strictly controlled. Of course, although they are called slaves, they actually have no masters, but they must be monitored at all times to prevent a second person with problems from appearing."

"Can such a person continue to pass on to the next generation?" Saber frowned.

"Their lives can still go on, and there is no problem in marrying ordinary people and having children. Lucylvia is not lucky, and the surveillance will probably end in another generation. On the other hand, her best luck is also in Egypt. Walang, here does not discriminate against her, and helps her avoid the crime of traveling alone."

"But you have said so much, and you are not sure if she is." Lu Ning said.

"In terms of her background, she is possible. After all, when she came to Avalon, she was alone, and she was still a slave. No one can say for sure what she will encounter on the road. But now she has been studying in Avalon for nine years. Now, if those people think she's betrayed, why didn't they do it last time?"

Last time, of course, refers to the last exchange meeting.

"Maybe they didn't act last time." Saber said, "Involving so many secrets, this must be an action that requires a long time to plan. For insurance, it must be a burst of accumulated strength. In this case... the original problem of the slave is very interesting. People are suspicious."

"Ok?"

Lu Ning explained: "Since the slave's blood may contain spiritual interference from the ancestors, from another perspective, those who plan these terrorist attacks are probably very willing to awaken this will, no matter from which perspective, That Lucylvia is dangerous."

After a slight pause, Lu Ning turned to Saber: "Then did they mention the name of any organization?"

"There are three." Saber nodded, "The three of them seem to be from different organizations, and the name of the organization was also mentioned. Star Gazer Oviedo, Star Devourer Shunoplan, and Star Caller Agatori."

"These remnants are not dead yet." Pierre snorted.

"Remainders?"

"The remnants of the Star Ring Sect, the cult that rose up in the chaos, was wiped out in the early days of the establishment of Avalon, but they couldn't be killed completely. The slave rules were tailor-made for them." Pierre showed disdain, "They do things like sacrifices, soul refinement, and space-time vortex all day long. They are just a group of pure lunatics and villains. Then I understand why they dared to come to Ewalang to make trouble. The leader of the joint army who destroyed them back then It is the original founder of Ewalang, bloody revenge."

"And it is the most prosperous exchange meeting in Ewalang."

"The incident a few days ago was probably just a precursor." Lu Ning glanced at Pierre, "They are testing the security, defense response speed and search capabilities of Evalang here."

Pierre scratched his hair: "We have to report, this kind of matter must be dealt with by the Magic Council."

"Of course, we have to tell Xue Ni about this. But we can't be idle. Since I, who is at the end of the screening, have been singled out, it proves that their plans have reached a point where everything is intertwined. To a certain extent, they will control every point. The advantage of this kind of plan is that every step can be followed, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to cause chain failure.”

"Then I'll ask more about this. After all, Ewalang...I don't want any major problems here." Saber stood up and was about to leave.

"Thank you for coming to inform me. Please pay attention to your own safety. Those guys must be vicious and merciless. If you have any news, find this Mr. Pierre. He can help you contact someone who can help you. "

Lu Ning asked Pierre to send the person out, while she sat in the room and meditated.

The last three organization names she asked about, she had seen the name "Star Gazer", and it was not long ago, in the notebook that Soigo gave her.

After returning to the laboratory, she quickly found the page of notes that recorded the information of the stargazer by virtue of her impressions. It was a complete page, and it recorded a question and answer.

Question: Is there a way to guarantee the success rate of high compound and chaotic conversion parallel alchemy programs?

At first, Lu Ning didn't pay much attention to this issue, because her technical level was too far behind.This has already involved the secondary transformation and step transformation technology in alchemy, a method that even advanced alchemists dare not try casually.

But if it is explained by analogy, it is easy to understand. Lu Ning's alchemy has always been a transformation, that is, input of materials and output of exchanged substances. This is the basis of alchemy.Then the next step is to use a batch of materials to exchange out various substances such as copper, iron, gold, silver, etc. in turn, and make them complete the final production according to their own intentions.

This question asks how to ensure the success rate of a high-precision alchemy product that needs to be combined and matched with various substances, and at the same time, it does not use step-by-step transformation, but uses the simultaneous transformation of stacked alchemy formations.

The following answer is Soigo's.

[Even I can't guarantee the success rate, because increasing the success rate requires a lot of price, time, energy, expensive materials, high-quality tools... If there is a way, maybe some lost technology There are methods available.

If you know the Star Ring Sect, although they have a bad reputation, they have obtained knowledge that does not belong to this world through many forbidden techniques.The department under the sect that is responsible for all kinds of artisan magic is called the Star Peer. After the demise of the Star Ring Sect, some of their research materials have been circulated, and I have seen several similar incomplete manuscripts.

There is a very primitive but effective method, which is also their old profession, which saves lives.

The current trend in mainland China is to respect life and equal human rights, and I have no opinion on this.But this is not the case in alchemy, as we first learned, equal exchange.The incomparably precious life in human subjective consciousness is just a weight on the ice-cold balance customized by nature, even a weight with universal characteristics.Star Gazer has mastered a similar technology, no matter how low the success rate is, it can be pushed to a [-]% level by sacrificing a lot of lives and souls. 】

[Follow-up question: In the results of the teacher, is there a part that refers to the stargazer? 】

[No one can refuse that profound and wonderful knowledge, at least I can't.Except for the bottom line, I have not hurt anyone, I have tested the rest. 】

The text on the note has probably been beautified, and Lu Ning doubts that Soigo was spouting words like "Your teacher, I will do that kind of thing" and "Think about it with your lost brain" at the apprentice A few key words are missing.

In any case, Soigo did know some related matters. As for whether he knew more, Lu Ning felt that she would not tell him if she asked him.

She walked to the alchemy table and began to refine potions for Catherine, and also relieved the boredom in her heart a little.

At about three o'clock in the morning, on a street in the central block, the red lead area, two magician guards hurried past, leaving a row of footsteps on the quiet street.

At the entrance of an alley, a magic carriage was parked. The coachman stood there a little uneasy, and saw two guards rushing up to meet him.

"It was you who sent the alarm?" A magician stepped forward to question, while the other walked into the alley.

"Yes Yes……"

"Tell me what happened." The magician waved his hand, and a crystal flew out of his sleeve and floated in mid-air.

While the driver was narrating what happened intermittently, the magician who walked into the alley had already dragged out the contents.

It was also wearing guard clothing, but the metallic luster on the surface of the skin showed that it was an artificial life.

... corpse.

The magician who took the notes frowned.Artificial life is widely used in guard patrols. Although it cannot use magic because it does not have a soul, it does not hinder its own solidity and magicians attach various trigger magic circles to its surface. The artificial life guards are all capable of suppressing senior magicians one-on-one.

"died?"

"Well, the signs of life are gone, we have to turn it over to the technical department."

"Did the preliminary test find anything?"

The magician dragged the "corpse" under the mercury lamp. The bright light also illuminated the mottled magic traces on the artificial life.

"Abdomen, piercing type magic, this is the first time. After that, I probably realized that it was not a human being, and the chest and neck attacks were replaced by pollution type magic." The magician who took the notes quickly narrated the situation, "New scars on the whole body There are a total of thirteen places, including sharp cutting marks. According to the standard hardness comparison of artificial life bodies, the quality should be at the sharp level. There are no traces of magic damage near the cutting marks of weapons, and they are not magical fighters, but should belong to the dual cultivation fighting class."

The two magicians quickly completed the inspection and were about to leave the body by floating the body. The coachman hurriedly shouted: "Well, I ask for asylum! No matter how you think about it, this kind of thing is wrong, right? As the first person who discovered it, I should be entitled to asylum." right!"

The person who took the notes looked back at him: "Are you sure?"

"Of course! Fortunately, I didn't encounter this!"

"Okay...you follow us, Erqi, and send a witness asylum application."

Lu Ning got up early.

It is not difficult to refine the potion. She even reversed the formula and made a bottle of relief potion in case of emergency.But when she went up and entered the store, and turned around the back kitchen, she found that Pierre was not there, and there were no notes left behind.

"Strange...was called away?"

Lu Ning dug out some things from the ingredient cabinet, and started packing breakfast by herself.While he was busy, the kitchen door slammed lightly, and a sneaky voice shouted from the crack of the door: "Lu Ning~"

Without answering, she shoveled a fried egg out of the pan and prepared to fry two more slices of meat.

The people outside the door stopped pretending, they pushed the door and walked in. It was White Rose.

"It's just the two of us, my brother isn't here." She found a clean table and sat up.

"What did he do?" Lu Ning threw the meat slices into the pot.

"There are some interesting things."

"whats the matter?"

"I'll tell you when I make breakfast for me." White Rose raised a charming smile.

Lu Ning felt more comfortable making friends with people like Shang Wenxue.

Not for other reasons, but fundamentally speaking, Shang Wenxue is the closest to her among her friends.Shu Xingruo and Fujii Xueyin are too biased towards justice, while people like Zhao Xihua and Cheng Wuling behave evilly, and Lu Ning will always have to accommodate one or two things when acting with them.Of course, this is nothing, friends always have to accommodate each other.

But Shang Wenxue would not appear in this situation.Although the two are different in many places, they can reach an agreement on the purpose of action, and sometimes they don't even need to communicate.The two discovered this when they trained together before.

"So your performance basically makes me sure it's you." White Rose said as she chewed her breakfast
"Isn't it because I recognized you first that I dared to behave like that?"

"You just can't help but encounter a mystery, and the search and deduction method is not so commonly used here."

Lu Ning raised her eyebrows: "Just because of this?"

"And I know your tone of voice very well. Just like you can recognize me by the tone, can't you?"

"So, you snitched?"

White Rose's fork stopped: "Why do you want to tell your secret?"

Just as Lu Ning was about to speak, the other party threw the fork into the plate and made a clang.

"You deliberately used such an obvious way, didn't you just want me to recognize it? So what is your purpose, test? Or inducement? You didn't tell me the secret, did you? Then why don't you believe me?"

"My fault." Lu Ning apologized bluntly, "After all, the benefit..."

"Are we the ones who care about that score?"

Shang Wenxue was not really angry, just like Lu Ning knew some of her shortcomings, she also knew that Lu Ning kept a skeptical attitude towards anyone or anything.She could understand, and skipped it lightly, which actually made Lu Ning very grateful.

"Let's get down to business. What's the status of your leads? I didn't see Pierre this morning, so I don't know what happened."

"My brother called him away. He found the remnants of an underground sacrificial ceremony in the Diamond District, using animal sacrifices. He needs to invite some knowledgeable people to go, so Pierre can help. "

"Underground sacrificial ceremony?"

"Yes, the area is not big. It is about a five-by-five ceremony platform, leaving a small circle around it. Livestock sacrifices are allowed in some countries. After all, some weather magic is needed. We don't care about it in normal times. Yes, but the incident just happened a few days ago, and all unusual things have to be investigated. After all, it is impossible for this place in Ewalong to need any sacrifices."
