Quenched long order

Chapter 271 Lifetime
A small mechanism, but very effective.

When the alarm sounds, surrounding guards will rush in and the theft plan will fail.

The cunning alchemist.

Shaoer held his breath and concentrated, quickly separated the air near the alchemy array, and created an isolation zone.

puff.

The alarm of the alchemy array was triggered.

There was a soft sound, like a fart.

Very noticeable on a quiet night.

Valko looked back at Sauer, with a hint of unconfidence in his eyes. In order to cover up his inner panic, he turned the key and opened the door.

The warehouse door is open.

However, the relics inside the door are still not accessible at will.

The alchemy array at the gate is just the beginning.

In order to prevent another accident, Sauer looked into the warehouse, and the air sensing effect covered it to avoid missing possible stalkers.

However, perhaps due to the alchemist's preference, there are only exquisite alchemy arrays in the warehouse.

"come on in."

Valko urged.

The two entered the warehouse and opened the door lightly.

Sauer kept an air sentry just in case.

sizzle.

Valko lights the Illumination Stone.

The dim light of the fire dispels the darkness.

"The light-changing mirror is right here. Let's look for it separately." Valko said as he walked forward.

separate?

Sauer was uneasy.

He could see that Valko was not qualified for the job. Obviously, President Erwin's test was aimed at him.

"This place is not big, there is no need to separate." Sauer followed Valko, his air sense already analyzing the nearby situation.

"Hehe, you're not afraid anymore, are you?" Valko replied in a joking tone.

Really scared.

Sauer looked at Valko with a meaningful smile on his face.

He was afraid that Valco would cause any trouble again.

Valko quickly put away his smile when he saw Sauer's eyes.

Within a few words of chatting, Sauer had already figured out the layout of the alchemy array in the warehouse.

Some insignificant objects are not protected by the alchemy array, while very important objects are protected at all levels. Even if the alchemist himself comes in person, it is very troublesome to unlock the alchemy array.

The two found a light-changing mirror, a prismatic mirror. When viewed from different angles, different mirror images will be seen.

Fortunately, the light-changing mirror is not an important relic and is not heavily protected.

"I remember this alchemy formation..."

Valko frowned.

Apparently, he didn't remember.

The Fanze Empire admires alchemy, but it does not mean that the cost of learning alchemy will be lower.

Most people still don't understand.

Sauer silently studies alchemy using his air sense.

During his brief study with Kraut, although he did not learn many detailed knowledge, the principles of alchemy were strongly related to the physical knowledge in his memory.

The alchemy array is a tool that can transform energy, matter, time and space, and soul into each other.

"It should be the voice." Valko nodded, as if he was deceiving himself.

Sauer noticed that there was a square gap at the bottom of the light-changing mirror. The gap was just covered by the light-changing mirror, and there was a spring-like thing at the bottom that was pressed. Once the light-changing mirror was picked up, the alchemy array below would start.

However, unlike the entrance to the warehouse, the alchemy array under the light-changing mirror has several lines extending to the large alchemy array.

An alchemy array that detects pressing force.

"If we take it, we'll run away immediately. They shouldn't be able to catch up with us."

Valko revealed his plan.

Sauer looked at Valko's confident face in the firelight, took a deep breath, and calmed down the speechlessness in his heart.

"They won't be able to look for a relic that's not very important for a few days, but they won't be able to find it if they take too much."

Valko continued, extending his right hand toward the dimming mirror.

Sauer quickly stopped:

"I have an idea."

He reached out and grabbed Valco, dragging him behind him.

Gaze into the dimming mirror.

The connection between the small alchemy array and the large alchemy array was cut off by him.

He pressed the gap with pneumatic force.

He reached out to pick up the light-changing mirror, but Valco stopped him.

"You just take it like this?" Valko was very surprised.

"Believe me." Sauer continued to stretch forward.

Valko looked left and right, eyes averting.

Sauer could feel Valco's breathing getting heavier and his heart beating faster.

He ignored it and quickly picked up the light-changing mirror. Information about the light-changing mirror quickly appeared in his mind.

Dimming mirrors can change the properties of light, such as turning sunlight into moonlight.

At this moment, Valko even closed his eyes.

Sauer took out some copper coins and piled them on the pressing area.

At the same time, Valko slowly opened his eyes and said:
"Saul, I noticed that you were very lucky to not trigger the alarm."

There was silence.

"Luck is also a part of strength." Shaoer turned and walked towards the door.

As Valko said before, the importance of an alchemist to a theft depends on the value of the stolen item, and obviously a light-changing mirror isn't worth the trouble.

But if a few more were stolen, the situation would be different.

In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Shaoer did not plan to do anything to other relics. Moreover, along the way, he discovered that more relics were not always better, but that the most important thing was the right one.

The two left the warehouse and returned to the heart along the same path.

In the darkness, there was a figure whose ears moved.

……

The night watchman of the brain tonight.

He has extremely strong hearing, so some people call him the Wind Listener.

He liked this title very much.

Most of the time, he didn't want to eavesdrop. Although he would occasionally hear some secrets, more often he would hear some gasping and growling. He hated such meaningless sounds.

Tonight, he thought everything was fine, but a footsteps caught his attention.

The footsteps came from the vertical walls.

He wanted to find out.

……

Sauer followed Valko.

Now, they are going back to the Dust Guild's headquarters.

According to Valco, the formal entrance is in the foot level area.

"Saul, is it not easy to keep up with me? This is my strength."

On the way, Valko sounded proud. While speaking, he also slightly sped up.

However, he didn't notice at all that Sauer, who had been following him, barely made any sound with his footsteps.

After obtaining the soul body, the changes in abilities will be subtle.

Saul saw another style of fighting in his memory and also learned practical fighting techniques.

If the steps made of air can be stepped on, then if there is a buffer at every landing point, running can be made silent.

"Valko, slow down," Sauer said softly.

"Don't worry, I'll wait for you." Valko patted his chest and turned around, only to find that Sauer was missing.

One.

two.

Three...three air sentries were triggered.

Someone is following.

Sauer looked back.

Valko waited there for two minutes.

"Why don't you leave?"

A voice appeared behind him.

Valko took a few steps back in fright:

"Wow wow wow, when did you come?"

……

Sauer followed Valco to the backyard of a grocery store and into the cellar.

There were three cross-examinations along the way, all of which were handled easily by Valko.

Until we came to a rotunda hall, there were not many people in the hall, but everyone was full of energy, as if they were undertaking a great undertaking.

In the center of the hall is a stone pillar with a map of the Fanze Empire painted on it.

On the map, the location of Giant Stone City and the location of the Imperial Capital are each marked by a star, with a red line in the middle connecting the two.

"Where is Amanda?"

Valko first handed the polarizer to the people from the Dust Guild, and then asked about Amanda's whereabouts.

Faced with Shaoer's arrival, several people from the guild were very interested and quickly asked about the situation.

Sauer exchanged some pleasantries and discovered that most of the people in the guild were survivors of the empire's disaster experiments.

After Valko found out Amanda's location, he took Sauer towards the door deep in the hall.

The Dust Guild is far bigger than imagined.

Soon, they came to an archway.

"Saul, you can go there by yourself, I'll stay here."

Valco leaned against the door frame, half of his face hidden in the shadow. He lowered his head to look at the ground, his eyes deep. Suddenly, he had a gloomy temperament, like a depressed artist, and the door occasionally fell. The dust seems to have added a film filter to the light.

here we go again……

Sauer resisted the urge to complain.

He walked toward the house alone.

Inside, Amanda was arguing with a man.

The man has gray hair, his temples have turned white, and his face is covered with traces of wind and frost. He is in his fifties, probably close to sixty. He is none other than President Erwin of the Dust Guild.

The two stopped arguing after seeing Sauer.

President Erwin walked over first, stretched out his right hand, and said:
"You must be Sauer. Amanda told me about you. Thanks to you, many people have been protected from the empire."

This guy doesn't look easy to deal with.

Sauer glanced at Amanda, then smiled at Erwin, stretched out his right hand to hold it, and replied:
"I just did what I could."

After a few chats, President Erwin left alone.

"Valco didn't cause you any trouble, did he?" Amanda walked up, her tone tired.

She glanced at Valko who was standing by the door, and couldn't help but hold her forehead:
"Sorry, Sauer, President Erwin was very careful. He asked Valko to test you without telling me."

She shook her head slightly and continued:

"This is not the first time this has happened. I have told him many times, but he has his own theory. He used to listen to everyone's suggestions, but recently, he seems to be becoming more and more paranoid."

Sauer thought for a while and replied:

"Maybe it's because of my age."

Amanda looked confused.

Sauer looked into Amanda's eyes and said in a calm voice:
"Your ultimate goal is to destroy the Vanzee Empire, right? President Erwin is already quite old. Although the Dust Guild has been developing for a long time, it is still a very long road to fight against the Empire."

Seeing Sauer mention this, Valko's voice came from the door:
"This is only part of it. The more important task of the Dust Guild is to stop the empire's experiments and prevent more people from being like us."

His voice was firm.

Sauer ignored it and just looked at Amanda.

Unlike Valko, Amanda did not answer immediately. She looked at the door, not at Valko, but at President Erwin who had left.

"Just now……"

Amanda paused:

"Saul, sit down and talk."

She sits on the chair.

Sauer was not polite either.

When Sauer sat down, Amanda continued:

“…The thing President Erwin and I are arguing about is tomorrow’s mission.

"Tomorrow, a caravan from the empire will pass nearby, and we will plan to attack and steal those goods.

"According to the previous plan, we would disguise ourselves as nearby robbers, so as not to arouse suspicion easily, but this time President Erwin hopes to kill all the people in the caravan, saying that it is to prevent the leakage of intelligence."

Sauer supported his chin with his right hand and replied:
"You used to keep people alive?"

Amanda nodded: "As long as the caravan cooperates, we will not kill people casually."

"Did you ask him why?" Sauer asked.

"That's the problem." Amanda sighed: "Although I did this occasionally before, I wouldn't be so determined, and..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously:

"Saul, how did Valko test you?"

Sauer briefly explained what happened.

"How could..." Amanda had a look of disbelief on her face.

Sauer didn't answer.

Amanda's confusion made him understand instead.

The reason is simple. With Valco's strength, it is impossible to steal the light-changing mirror safely.

If it weren't for him, whether Valco could come back safely is now a question.

It was impossible for President Erwin to predict his abilities.

"What happened to President Erwin? The condition of the brain layer is different from that of the foot layer. There is a night watchman every day, asking Valko to do things he can't do? This is not exercise."

Amanda looked toward the door.

Valco heard the two discussing him, and Amanda's evaluation was quite low. He quickly retorted:
"I'm not the same person I used to be."

He paused and added:
"Besides, we didn't meet any of the night watchmen you mentioned!"

Amanda looked at Sauer.

The two looked at each other.

Sauer didn't say a word, his expression was calm, but his meaning was self-evident.

There was silence.

"By the way, about the transfer device..." Sauer changed the topic that he was more concerned about.

"We can find the manufacturing plant tomorrow," Amanda replied.
