I have a magic dice of destiny

Thousands of years ago, before meteorites landed.

In the very center of the island where Blue Taro Country is located, there is a huge mountain range that occupies 1/10 of the island's area.

After the meteorite fell from the sky, the mountain range shattered and turned into the current chaotic star rock.

In the distant colonial company era, Star Rock was once the largest mineral producer on the entire island.

There are savage and ferocious indigenous tribes here, and the mysterious Black Death Hell was born.

It can be said that it has always been the Chaotic Star Rock that has dominated the rise and fall of the entire island.

Even now that the Black Death Hell has disappeared, this is still the case.

Because the newly discovered huge mineral deposits in the Blue Taro Country were the former Black Death Prison.

Thinking about it, this is normal. If the Black Death Prison wasn't so powerful that it made the mining giants extremely frightened, how could they not be tempted by such a piece of fat?

For those mining giants, how could they be willing to leave without digging up all the rare minerals on this island?

After Gutav ascended the throne, the Black Death mysteriously disappeared.

Huge amounts of rare minerals have been exposed to the world again, supporting half of the blue taro country's export trade.

Correspondingly, this originally desolate and abandoned land was once again filled with people.

In just a few decades, surrounding small towns sprang up one after another and turned into cities with a population of millions.

Surrounding the Chaotic Star Rock, a small city group was born.

······

"I didn't expect to be hiding here."

"Looking at where the needle is pointing, it seems we have to go deeper into the mountains."

In a small city near Luanxingyan, Chen Qi slowly stopped the car.

I am used to driving maglev sports cars, but I am really not used to this kind of snail-like speed.

But we still have to be cautious. God knows if the news that he was responsible for the blood salt case has been revealed?

His maglev sports car really revealed his whereabouts and identity.

Seeing that the case is about to be solved, we can't fail at the most important link.

The reason why we stopped at this time was because the terrain environment ahead was relatively chaotic and was no longer suitable for such ordinary vehicles.

Chen Qi was too lazy to find another off-road vehicle. For him, walking was more convenient and faster.

Then Chen Qi stopped taking detours and went straight in the direction of the pointer. He just speeded up his pace slightly and reached 30 meters per second.

This speed, which is astonishing in the eyes of ordinary people, is really just Chen Qi taking a leisurely walk. He even has time to look at the surrounding scenery.

······

The landform of Luanxingyan is indeed quite special, with dense ravines and faults everywhere.

The most special thing is that the magnetic field here is extremely chaotic.

If ordinary people are not familiar with the environment here, they will encounter "ghosts hitting the wall" accidentally and become completely lost.

But these problems really have no impact at all on Chen Qi.

Originally, Chen Qi was worried that such a special landform would affect the locking of the compass, but it turned out that he had underestimated the Earth Master after all.

There was no problem with the compass locking, not even a slight deflection.

An environment like Chaos Star Rock, which in the eyes of ordinary people and even extraordinary beings, is extremely complex, in the eyes of well-informed earth masters, is really just a calm puddle, where your shoes get wet all because of your own carelessness.

······

"Is that where the Black Death Prison used to be?"

"Business is really booming now!"

After climbing over a hill, Chen Qi saw a dense industrial area.

Surrounding a large black mountain, mining, smelting, non-ferrous metal processing, and many mining companies gathered here have even formed a small city in the mountain.

After knowing the mystery of the Black Death Prison, Chen Qi once thought about visiting this legendary prison where King Gutav was imprisoned.

After some inquiries, I learned that this place had long been turned into a mining area, and the original huge mountain was directly destroyed by the explosion.

This is really clean, leaving no trace.

Unexpectedly, as luck would have it, he actually came here today.

"Hiding in the small city below?"

"Interesting, you really know how to choose a place."

Chen Qi gathered his strength, turned into an ordinary person, and walked towards the small town below.

······

The history of Black Iron City is only 40 years, and almost all the citizens are migrant miners.

The reason for this is because it is only 10 miles away from the former Black Death Prison.

Before the Black Death Prison disappeared, no one except those unlucky death row prisoners dared to get close to it.

Even those natives who were lucky enough to survive did not dare to approach their once sacred mountain again.

So this place was really deserted before, until the mountain collapsed.

There are two completely different rumors about the collapse of the giant black mountain, or the disappearance of the Black Death Hell.

One natural option is for the kingdom's army to take action and directly use explosives to clear the way, in order to obtain mineral resources.

The second theory is full of mystery. On the day when the king ascended the throne, a terrifying black dragon flew out of the Black Death Prison in the mountains.

The terrifying black dragon tore the mountain into pieces, completely exposing the massive mineral resources.

Regarding these two completely different rumors, the residents of the small town with a majority of miners naturally believed the first one.

The second type of rumor seems to have been made up by those sycophants in order to flatter the king.

······

"Ding dong, ding dong!"

The end of get out of class bell rang at the only elementary school in Black Iron City.

Thirty-year-old Hammond finished his teaching duties for the day and walked towards home.

His home is located in the northernmost part of the city, very close to the edge of the city.

It definitely belongs to the suburbs within the suburbs, and you can see the hills outside when you look up.

But because the land was cheap enough, he was able to buy a secluded courtyard with his meager salary.

Although he can't see any neighbors within a few hundred meters, it doesn't have any impact on him who lives alone.

As usual, Hammond opened the courtyard door.

However, the moment he stepped into the courtyard, his body suddenly froze.

"Strange, how did you find out?"

"Although I didn't find any mechanism on the courtyard door, to be on the safe side, I would jump over the wall to enter your house."

"As an ordinary person, it should be impossible for you to notice my intrusion."

"Aren't you an ordinary person?"

A stranger's voice came from Hammond's room.

Hammond's expression changed several times, but he finally walked into the yard as usual.

"Who are you?"

"Why did you break into my house?"

After opening the door, Hammond saw a blond man on his familiar workbench.

But he acted surprisingly calm and composed, without any sense of panic.

"Hammond, professional [scholar], suspected to be a senior apprentice."

"I have entered and exited the Blue Taro Country three times in the past 10 years, and now I teach in a primary school in Black Iron City."

"This is all the information I found about you."

"So can you please satisfy my curiosity, won't scholars be affected by the King's Game?"

The blond man who appeared in Hammond's room was naturally Chen Qi.

Now he is wearing the vest of [Jomoa Chris].

As for Hammond, of course he was the real culprit behind the blood salt case.

"Hmph, since you know my identity as a scholar, you should know that spiritual influence is useless to us scholars."

"Although the devil's game is extremely powerful, as long as we don't live here all the time, we won't be affected by it."

"You must be a player, why do you want to find me?"

Even though the opponent's identity is likely to be a player of the Devil's Game, Hammond is still unafraid.

If he hadn't known what he was doing secretly, Chen Qi would have really thought that this guy was a tough guy.

"Why did I find you? You should know it very well."

"You are the one who made the blood salt, right?"

"As for the evidence, actually I can find you, which can already explain a lot of problems."

Chen Qi picked up a small black stone from the workbench and started playing with it.

Under his meaningful gaze, Hammond's face finally lost its expression.

"How can it be?"

"How did you know there was something wrong with that rock?"

There are many small stones placed on Hammond's workbench, which seem to be collected as a hobby.

The one Chen Qi held in his hand was very inconspicuous.

But Hammond's reaction said it all.

······

"Is this the remains of the mountain god?"

"You are really a genius, you actually thought of using human brain cells to feed those magnetic field beings."

"But what's the purpose?"

"Being a scholar means you are not a fool."

"What if you feed these mountain god cells to make them white and fat? I don't believe you are trying to resurrect the mountain god."

"Because it simply can't be done."

Chen Qi tossed the small stones back and forth in his hands. After knowing the truth about blood salt, Chen Qi was now fearless.

It is actually because the lives in these fields are too weak, even if he does not use his spirituality, Chen Qi can use the life magnetic field to destroy them.

These guys can only bully ordinary people, and they can also do damage from within after invading unknowingly.

"Hmph, you were able to find this place because of the Earth Master's compass, right?"

"How did this thing appear in your hands?"

"Shouldn't it be in the hands of the guy with the Ace of Spades?"

Hammond's face was very ugly. After seeing the compass hanging from Chen Qi's waist, he knew that he had been exposed.

Could it be Ace of Spades and they want to get rid of me?

It shouldn't be. Is it because their plan is almost successful and they plan to eliminate all hidden dangers?

Thinking of this, Hammond decided to "convince people with reason."

"I wonder if Ace of Spades told you about the specialness of our scholars. If you kill me, you will be in big trouble."

"I advise you not to interfere in our affairs!"

Hammond became confident again, convinced that he could convince the other party.

"It turns out that guy's card is the Ace of Spades!"

"Thank you for telling me this information!"

"In that case, I'll tell the truth. I'm not familiar with that guy, and I wasn't sent by him to kill you."

"I can only blame you for your bad luck. I happen to be in charge of the blood salt case!"

"As for this compass, it's mine now!"

Chen Qi did not expect to learn the card of the original owner of the compass from Hammond.

Knowing that the guy's card was the ace of spades, Chen Qi believed that he would be able to find out his true identity as long as he inquired a little bit about it.

But public is public and private is private, and there is no way he would let Hammond go.

"You are not sent by the Ace of Spades. It seems that my luck is indeed a bit bad."

"But your luck may not be better than mine."

"It's impossible for you to catch me alive. You came at the right time. I wouldn't have survived much longer."

After listening to Chen Qi's story, Hammond began to murmur, and his whole expression became strange.

Chen Qi frowned. Hammond really wasn't lying. This guy's life magnetic field was comparable to that of an eighty or ninety-year-old man. He really didn't have long to live.

"I know all the information about you scholars. It is rumored that it will be very troublesome after death."

"So I didn't intend to kill you at all, I just caught you for a job."

"Why don't you cooperate with me!"

Chen Qi gave good advice, although he was very confident that he would not capsize in the gutter.

But wouldn’t it be better to be able to complete the task smoothly?

"It's impossible. If I are taken back to the headquarters of the Lawful Ones by you, Ace of Spades and the others will definitely kill me."

"They didn't dare to touch me before because they had learned from past experiences and knew that [scholars] were very troublesome."

"But it's different now. I have a piece of the mountain god's remains secretly hidden in my hand. Once this is exposed, they will never tolerate me."

"In the final analysis, killing me is just a little troublesome and will make them pay some price."

"But knowing that I might threaten their plans, they would definitely kill me."

"Fortunately, I had expected this and had no intention of living."

"[Scholar], what a sad profession. You have endless knowledge, but your life is not as good as ordinary people."

Hammond became more and more emotional as he spoke, and by the end he even looked sad and angry.

Apparently, the life of an academic is not that happy.

······

"It's really troublesome!"

"This guy revealed a lot of information in his words!"

"I just want to investigate a case, and I have no intention of ruining other people's bullshit plans!"

Chen Qi looked at Hammond with a solemn expression. This guy seemed to have long been restless in being a scholar and was seeking death.

But the death of [Scholar] will not be a simple complete demise.

This guy Hammond must be planning something.

Otherwise, he would just commit suicide, so why bother raising mountain god cells?

After carefully examining Hasmond's physical condition, Chen Qi had an incredible suspicion in his mind.

No, Hammond wouldn't be so crazy, would he?

In the end, Chen Qi couldn't bear the curiosity and asked the question.

"You also took blood salts?"
