Chapter 104 Chapter 102 The Hand of the Mage
"Ask me where I can live with peace of mind? You are asking the right person. If you want to buy a car or a house, you can come to me, and I will give you a discounted price." Lucy is very enthusiastic about Zhuang Xuteng, just like every real estate salesman Same. "Did you receive a bonus from PCPD and want to improve your accommodation?"

"I have this idea, but it's more because I heard that someone is asking about me." Zhuang Xuteng looked at Lucy with a smile on his face, but the words he said did not make people feel sympathetic: "I thought I would follow you. Hear the warning here."

"I think you misunderstood—you won't hear the warning from me." Lucy waved her hand and said, "If someone asks me for your news, I will let him die. If the middleman doesn't have this courage and ability, it’s best not to do this business. However, one situation cannot be ruled out, that is, I really have no way to kill the other party. At that time, I will try my best to escape. If one day you can’t find me, the last So start running away right away."

Zhuang Xuteng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Lucy to be so tough, realistic and honest. "So, the Viper won't come looking for you?"

"Not yet. I think his middleman Fatty D has warned him." Lucy thought for a while and said, "Perhaps Ge Gongdao introduced you to me because he thought of this step, and see if he can use me. The rules to deal with Vipers?"

"Brother Dao just wants to do it himself, and won't borrow others."

"I think so too." Lucy chuckled a few times behind the mask, and then asked, "Let's talk about the house. What kind of house do you want to rent?"

"Safe, comfortable, and undisturbed." Before Zhuang Xuteng came to see Lucy, he had already thought about his requirements: "There are multiple escape routes, probably similar to yours."

"Learn from me? You really know how to ask." 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. Two thousand euros each You won't be given a price increase for one month, four months, and you have to keep the facilities inside the same and keep it clean. If you agree, you can take the key now."

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said, "If Viper and his gang don't know how to find me and smash it up, I won't pay you."

Lucy waved her hand and said, "Cunning boy, you are clearly running on me! Well, I think you have a bright future and can earn me money, so I won't let people break the rules and trouble you Yes. Just rest assured, and don’t forget to get the money ready.”

The single apartment in the outskirts of the city has a living area of ​​only 80 square meters. Even with a hidden garage attached, the interior is very cozy. The price of [-] euros a month is a bit too expensive.That was Zhuang Xuteng's first impression. It wasn't until he found the owner's manual and read it that he realized that there was another mystery here.

It is not 80 square meters, but 80+180 square meters.Enter the mezzanine from the hidden passage under the bathtub in the bathroom, and go down one floor to reach the real residence, which is a 180-square-meter single-person apartment that combines two sets of rooms.Nominally he lives on the 17th floor, but actually lives on the 15th floor. This feeling is very interesting.

This is a dark room located in an apartment building. From the outside corridor, it looks like two outdated residences that cannot be rented out. No one would think that there is a world inside.The whole room is sealed with a good soundproof panel, the windows cannot be opened and are completely shaded, and equipment that can monitor the upstairs room is installed, and the situation outside the door can also be known.In addition to exiting from the gate on the 17th floor, you can choose to stagger the floors and exit from the 15th floor during emergency evacuation. You can also use the fire escape pipe to exit from the balcony. You can even open the cover behind the bedroom closet and drill a secret passage to directly enter the elevator shaft. ...

As mentioned in the instruction manual, 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 couldn't think of a more comprehensive, safer and more accessible residence.

Since the windows cannot be opened, it is a bit 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 stayed here with peace of mind.The water, electricity and heating are all complete, and there is no problem with bathing and cooking, and the sound insulation facilities are complete, which is very suitable for continuing tennis training.

"It's not a trial at all!" Zhuang Xuteng gradually understood Lucy's intentions: "For a person who needs a sense of security, once he lives in and understands its advantages, he can't feel at ease if he doesn't buy this place!"

Lucy bought the entire building and remodeled the interior into a maze-like shape.Zhuang Xuteng now lives in a miniature version, a youth version.With a monthly rent of two thousand euros, he bought a peace of mind and comfort, and he couldn't ask for more.The four-month trial period, on the one hand, can 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 actions.I have to say that Lucy's arrangement is very considerate.

From using the bone spear to faint in the morning, and now that everything has been properly arranged, Zhuang Xuteng was finally able to calm down and meditate peacefully, and went to the 72 Stone Pillar Hall to ask Master Lich about the situation.

"I'm waiting for you!" Before Zhuang Xuteng could speak, the Lich Master jumped out by himself, and the pink skull chased Zhuang Xuteng and said, "You have cast a spell, you have really cast a spell! Do you understand what this means? ?”

"Bone Spear is a spell, of course I'm casting it!"

"No, before you used the bone spear technique just to imitate the technique of the pistol, and you used the shadow to cast the spell; but now you use your own mana to cast the spell! The reason why you fainted is because your mana was exhausted. Rare in novice spellcasters."

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head, hopped onto the throne with one leg and sat down, and then said, "I don't feel any difference at all between casting spells with shadow followers and magic power."

"Excessive use of mana drains your soul dry and dead, and shadows don't."

"I've always used the same method to cast bone spear, and I didn't choose shadow or mana."

"That's what makes it interesting! I think the adaptive shadow implant in your arm is doing the trick, allowing you to cast spells from shadow instead of mana. If that's correct, then you can try my spell, That's necromancy."

The Lich Master believes that the "Shadow Follower" 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, especially those that are connected to the grid or other energy sources. The shadow follower of the system.Physical fitness accounts for the main part, but those shadow follower devices that don't bite, such as shadow follower-controlled grenades, can work only by absorbing other equipment.

Zhuang Xuteng's physical condition is quite special. Apart from 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.For a long time, Zhuang Xuteng couldn't use the mana of the Lich Master, and the spells made of mana couldn't take effect.They had to take a long way around and "simulate" the effect of the spell through the shadow follower runes, that is, to use Zhuang Xuteng's body as a shadow follower, and Master Lich was a living shadow follower. The combination of the two became a pistol, and casting the bone spear technique was equivalent to giving The pistol gave the order to fire.

Going around, everything built in the past revolves around shadow energy, and all sources are physical fitness.Therefore, Zhuang Xuteng used the bone spear technique before, which was essentially a shadow pistol with excellent adaptability. It didn't bite people very much, but it would eventually bite people.But after installing the arm adaptation shadow from the implant, it seems to have broken through a certain threshold, and the steps of turning around are no longer needed. Zhuang Xuteng directly drives the bone spear with his own mana, his body will not hurt, and the risk is transferred to Mind and spirit level.

"This is obviously more dangerous!" Zhuang Xuteng shook his head again and again, and said: "My arm hurts, and I still have to suppress the inhalation, or relax my muscles, and stop shooting. If my head is dizzy, I may pass out 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 solutions." The Lich Master looked very excited , said: "Finally... finally... my knowledge is useful!"

"Congratulations." Zhuang Xuteng clapped his hands perfunctorily, and said, "You are finally useful."

"Why are you not excited at all? After learning my spell, you will become very powerful!"

"I'm not as smart as you, and it took you 300 years to learn spells. People in your world have an average lifespan of 500 years, and my side only has 80 to [-] years. And you have calculated that the time on both sides is about the same , so I died before I learned how to prolong my life."

The Lich Master thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "Well, that's true, the life extension spell is quite difficult, you can learn it enough."

Zhuang Xuteng went on to say: "In order to improve my intelligence, I also learned some basics. Among the basic spells, is there any spell that is more direct, simpler and more effective than firing a gun? You also admit that if you don't improve the bone spear, you will not be able to use it at all. It’s not as good as a shadow pistol, and the shadow guns the two of us saw are only police level, and there are military, company, and special weapons on it. I worked hard to learn those, just to improve my intelligence. Great, spending money to buy better weapons is the right way."

"You can't say that. In the category of killing spells, there is indeed nothing more effective than the shadow gun, but what about other categories? Can you use the shadow device to make the dead speak? Can you control the movement of zombies? Can you let the ghost do the scouting for you? ?”

It's not that Zhuang Xuteng is ignorant, it's just that he doesn't know. He became interested as soon as he heard it: "Can necromancy do this?"

"Of course! As long as you improve your intelligence and practice according to the method I taught you, you can learn these spells. When you become stronger and your mana reserves are getting bigger and bigger, I will teach you more powerful spells, and you can give them I made a body, let me get rid of the current state, then you will be safe!" Master Lich's eyes flickered, and he was persuasive to Zhuang Xuteng.

"That's a good idea. Tell me how to avoid passing out from too many spells, okay?"
