Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 428 The Storm

  Suddenly, the abyssal energy suppressed by the dragon's bloodline rioted, and the fierce energy that was originally like a flood formed a huge wave under stimulation, launching a violent counterattack.

  Luke was almost fainted by the impact of this abyssal energy, and could only use his powerful mental power to maintain his final sanity. After reciting a section of the ancient Shuojin language, a golden four-square barrier formed in the room to surround him.

  The barrier isolated from the outside world took effect, and Luke couldn't help but let out a roar. The dragon's roar formed an offensive sound wave, which hit the inner wall of the barrier forcefully, causing the barrier to shake uncontrollably.

  The black lines on Luke's body began to spread with the impact of the energy of the abyss, and some of them crawled along the neck to the face.

  Jian Lei Huo pupil burst out with intense thunder, and the purple flame burned the infected abyss energy, and the ash generated by the burning drifted down.

  Luke's body launched all its functions to fight against the rampant abyssal energy, Luke's consciousness sank into his own spiritual universe, and was pulled into the spiritual starry sky.

   In front of him, Qingkong was wearing a magic professor's gown from Oulu College, a magician hat, a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, a teaching rod in his hand, and a blackboard behind him.

   In front of him was a thick magic book.

   He looks like a scholar with profound knowledge and good character.

   Clear Sky saw Luke coming, so he tapped on the blackboard with his teaching rod. The spiritual ball circled from behind the blackboard to the front, and dense formulas appeared on the blackboard.

   "Given that you have laid a solid foundation for your body, you have Jiang Lei Huo Tong, dragon blood, and other miscellaneous things, the counterattack of the abyss energy is only temporary.

  It’s just that if the follow-up treatment is not good, it will leave serious sequelae.

   So we need to understand the abyss.

  Although you did not listen to my persuasion and insisted on using your own body as the experimental material, it did let us learn a lot. "

  Qing Kong snapped his fingers, the spiritual magic weapon swelled up, and then spit out a spherical enchantment. There is a cloud of black mist inside the enchantment, and the black mist expands and contracts inside the enchantment, changing into various forms that make people feel frightened and uncomfortable.

  The spherical enchantment floated in front of Luke. He grabbed the enchantment and carefully observed the contents inside.

   "This is the energy of the abyss?"

   "Correct answer!" Clear Sky praised Luke, then pointed to the formulas and magic structure graphics on the blackboard and said, "You are a study freak when controlling my body, these things should not be difficult for you to understand.

  After the preliminary analysis of the spiritual library, the abyss energy is a brand new energy body, and it is very likely to be a...or a group of extraordinary energy creatures.

Ok…

  You'd better see for yourself. "

  Luke knew that the clear sky after awakening was a woman who didn't want to bother with her brain. Even though the "knowledge of the clear sky" is shared, she must be lazy if she can be lazy about things that use her brain.

  Luke looked at what was written on the blackboard.

   It seems that there is a lot written in a dense manner, but for a new subject, these things are not even an introduction to the energy of the abyss.

  However, for the previous ignorance of the abyss, this is already a big step forward.

  The spiritual library has made a preliminary elemental reaction test to the abyss energy, and the abyss energy has shown a strong corrosiveness. After being infected by the abyss, although the element is still that kind of element, it is not the original element. When this type of element participates in the magic structure, it always shows a sense of rage.

  It seems to be throwing a temper tantrum.

  So the spiritual library turned to testing the biological definition of the energy of the abyss.

   It is not yet possible to use the currently recognized biological definition standards to confirm that abyssal energy is an energy-like extraordinary creature, and only preliminary tests have shown that abyssal energy has certain biological characteristics.

  There are only so many things that can be researched in a short period of time.

  Luke feels... If the abyssal energy is really an energy-type extraordinary creature, the abyssal energy he collected may not even count as a single cell.

  After reading the content on the blackboard, Luke said: "We still need to collect more abyss energy. It happens that I have to report to the Abyss Temple every day, so I can collect as much as possible."

  Clear Sky waved away the blackboard, and the clothes changed into the fashion Luke bought for her.

   At this time, there is a full moon in the starry sky.

  The position of the moon is very low, and it appears very large.

  A piece of moonlight sprinkled from the moon, and the stars formed a band of light floating down, sweeping across Qingkong's body.

   Qingkong's skirt and hair fluttered.

  She floated in front of Luke, stretched out a finger to touch his forehead, and a flash of light flickered.

   "Exploring the abyss is a very dangerous thing. Since I can't stop you, I can only give you a little blessing.

   Another little consolation for you: After a storm, there must be a clear sky. "

  Just as Luke was about to say something, his consciousness was pushed out of the spiritual starry sky.

  Back to your own spiritual universe, which is boundless darkness. In a distant place, there was a voice roaring violently, just like what was heard in the Abyss Temple.

   That is the abyssal energy that has eroded in.

and…

  The seemingly unreliable clear sky is definitely not ignorant of the abyss.

  Luke thought back to the last words Clear Sky said to himself.

  There is something in the words!

  But I can't guess what she wants to express.

  A woman full of secrets!

  Luke's consciousness retreated to his body, and he felt a sense of loss of strength in an instant. Ever since he obtained the dragon bloodline, he never knew what power exhaustion was, as power seemed to be endless.

  And now... It's like when I was an otaku, I suddenly ran out to play a game of wild ball on a whim.

  Every muscle in the body is sore, and every movement is like a mountain hanging on the body.

   Sweat profusely poured out.

   Fortunately, all those black lines on his body disappeared.

  Release the enchantment, and then move to the mirror step by step.

   Looks really all right.

  Abyssal energy did not cause physical alienation.

  Did you get through with your own physical fitness, or did you have the help of Qingkong?

  Luke couldn't help touching his forehead, and a cool feeling lingered there.

   Probably both.

   At this time, the door was knocked, Luke quickly changed his clothes, and went to open the door.

   Standing outside are coconuts.

   Coconut noticed Luke's strangeness: "What happened? Why do you look so weak!"

  Luke endured the soreness of his muscles, and quickly thought of an excuse to prevaricate: "For the final match in the Duke's Castle, I gave myself extra training. Now it seems that I have over-trained."

Coconut stepped forward to support Luke, and said with self-reproach: "It was my negligence for not supervising your training. I was too focused on my own changes. Ever since I followed your advice and changed my walking posture, I seem to have entered a new life. in the world.

  In the days to come, I will definitely do my best to ensure that you win the championship in front of the Duke. "

   "You must always remember that your feet are not the ground, but a force field." Luke reminded the coconut a little, and then asked: "What can I do for you?"

   Coconut said: "Master Sergey came to visit Mrs. Fekchik, it seems to be to discuss the sale of the shop. Master Sergey admires you very much, so he specially invited you to the dinner."

   Dinner party?

  Luke looked back out the window, it was already very dark.

  It was noon when I came back.

  Does it take so long to fight against this abyssal energy? No wonder the body collapses like this.

   "I'll go by myself..."

  Luke broke free from the support of the coconut and tried to walk two steps by himself. The pain in his body muscles was stronger than before, and he couldn't stop sweating.

  I'm too physically exhausted.

   Temporarily unable to restore physical fitness with his own resilience, Luke had to take out a magic wand from his cuff.

   This is the magic wand given by Princess Dai. Although he doesn't use it very much, Luke always carries it with him.

  As the mantra is recited, a magical beam of light shoots out from the tip of the magic wand. Luke released a recovery magic on himself, and the powerlessness was finally relieved.

   It's just that magic is not omnipotent, and Luke's physical energy reserves cannot be replenished by magic.

  But there is no problem in walking independently.

  Muscle pain can be tolerated.

  Luke walked forward, and Coconut followed closely behind him, as if he would immediately go up to help him when he encountered a situation.

  The two came to the restaurant one after the other.

   A table of sumptuous delicacies has been prepared.

  This time, Mrs. Fickchek did not enthusiastically pull Luke to a seat as usual. She sat in the main seat without moving, she was wearing a shiny and gorgeous evening dress, and all the makeup was thickly wiped on her face.

  Luke saw the taut buttons and seams of Mrs. Fickchuk's gown and knew why she didn't rise to greet her. I'm afraid that if she moves a little more now, the dress will collapse and the buttons will be torn apart.

  The human butler was wearing a tuxedo, politely welcomed Luke and Naco to sit down, and then poured red wine for them.

When all the guests arrived, Mrs. Fekchik held up the red wine that was as bright as her lipstick, and said, "Tonight is a wonderful night. Baron Sergey, who is famous for being rich in the Holy Mountain, and Luke, a fashionable celebrity in Raging City Sir, let's come to Fickschek's house together.

  As the hostess of the Fickcik family, on behalf of my husband, I invite two distinguished guests to drink this glass of red wine, which symbolizes the beginning of a beautiful dinner.

cheers! "

   Mrs. Fickchek's toast is well-spoken.

   Then he downed the full glass of red wine in one gulp, wiped away the wine stains from his mouth with his sleeve, then reached out and grabbed a piece of steak and took a big bite.

  Luke saw that Mrs. Fickichek was so forthright, and he drank a whole glass of wine in one gulp.

After Baron Sergey drank from his cup, Mrs. Fekchik chewed the meat and said: "Baron Sergey came to me today to discuss business, and wanted to transfer the largest iron workshop in his hands to me. Includes a mine and smelting workshop.

   Baron Sergey's iron workshop is a military workshop that produces armor and weapons for the barbarian army.

  Mr. Luke, do you think this business can be done? "

  Luke knew that Mrs. Fickichek was asking for his advice, but she was actually asking whether to buy it.

   After all, Mrs. Fickchek did not have enough money to buy the entire ironware production line.

  The iron workshop that provides armor and weapons for the army is an iron rice bowl that guarantees income during drought and flood, especially when the Tedgar Hills are at war with the empire, which consumes a lot of armor and weapons.

   Unless it is absolutely necessary, Sergey will never think of selling it.

  But since Sergei came to Mrs. Fekchik to discuss the sale of the iron workshop, it means that the lifting of the factory restrictions is stable. He was in a hurry to raise funds to build a factory, and took over the old production system that was destined to be eliminated in the future.

  Looking at the entire Holy Mountain, the only one who is interested and able to quickly and seamlessly take over the deal is Mrs. Fikechick who is in the limelight.

  For Luke, business is no longer the kind of business it looks like.

   Baron Sergei needs money, so give him money.

  Once the factory restrictions are lifted in Tedgar Hills, with the capacity of the factory, the products cannot be produced and sold by the small Tedgar Hills. These factory owners who tasted the sweetness of industrialization for the first time will inevitably seek a larger market.

  Sergey’s assets are very valuable in a closed economic circle like the Tedgar Hills, but in a larger market, he is just a small factory owner who cannot withstand strong winds and waves.

   Just find any reason to sanction him... If you don't want to die, just bow your head!

  So Luke said to Mrs. Fickchek: "Buy, of course I want to buy! Isn't the iron workshop that provides armor and weapons for the barbarian army a chicken that lays golden eggs?

   I just don’t know why Baron Sergey wanted to sell such a good workshop, what difficulties did he encounter, and did he need a lot of money? "

   Baron Sergey knew that if he sold this iron workshop, he would definitely attract suspicion from the other party, but he had already thought of an explanation.

  Following Luke's words, Sergey let out a long sigh: "I did encounter difficulties...

  Last month, I ordered a batch of Skee gold ore from overseas, which is an expensive alchemy material. I thought I could make a lot of money, but the cargo ship encountered a storm at sea. The ship sank and my cargo was gone.

  In order to buy this batch of ore, I borrowed a lot of money. Now that the creditors are looking for me to lose money, I can only reluctantly transfer this most profitable workshop. "

  Mrs. Fickchek wanted to express her sadness, but the unconcealable joy made her expression extraordinarily layered.

   "Ah! Poor Baron Sergey... Storms at sea are always unpredictable. But for you, this difficulty must be overcome.

  Since you urgently need money to pay off your debts, I will definitely help you.

  I want all your iron workshop, mine and smelting workshop! "

  This is the first contact between Baron Sergey and Mrs. Fekchik, and it is true that "it is difficult to spend money without knowing how to make money" as rumored.

  But Baron Sergey's visit this time is not just about the transfer of the iron workshop.

  Sergey pretended to be grateful and said: "Thank you, Mrs. Fekchik, for your generosity, you are probably the only person in the entire holy mountain who can give this money in a short time.

  I will complete the transfer procedures of the iron workshop as soon as possible, and please prepare the money... My creditors are pushing me too hard.

  Also...I have some personal matters that I would like to discuss with Mr. Luke alone, can madame provide us with a room? "
