The career of an evil alchemist that started with picking up a crazy sword girl

As for Lu Lin and Li Mi, they seemed redundant, standing aside at an inappropriate time, neither leaving nor staying.

When the unlucky child was about to be beaten, a voice stopped everyone.

"Stop it, beating him up won't solve the problem."

As the voice fell, a land spirit who looked to be in his twenties walked out from behind a big tree.

He had the same blue hair as the dead land spirit. Although his figure was not as burly as the dead land spirit, he was also strong.

His eyes were a little red, as if he had just cried. Combined with this unique hair color, it is not difficult to see that he and the dead land spirit should have a lot of relationship.

When everyone heard his words, they looked at each other and stepped back.

The young blue-haired earth spirit walked up to the unlucky boy, glared at him, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me! What evil tricks did you play? Why did my eldest brother suddenly stop during the duel?"

The unlucky boy was already nervous, and he was even more frightened when he heard the other party's angry shout. He actually fell to the ground and shouted in panic: "I don't know! I'm just a lackey! I don't know anything!"

The young blue-haired earth spirit did not answer, but directly pulled out the long knife at his waist and put it on the unlucky boy's neck.

The unlucky child, who was dancing with joy, dared not move in an instant, and could only tremble with fear on his face.

"I'll count to three. If you don't want to tell me, this head will stay somewhere else," the young earth spirit said coldly, "One..."

"I, I really don't know! Please, sir, let me go! I'm just a lackey! I'm nothing! I really don't know!"

"Two..."

"No, no, no! Don't! I, I'll join you! I really don't know! They didn't tell me anything before they came out! Please! Please, let me be your slave..."

"Three..."

As the words rang out, the unfortunate child felt the cold blade against his neck, and then a stream of heat flowed down from his neck, all the way through his collarbone.

He rolled his eyes, kicked his legs, and fell straight to the ground, and was actually scared to death.

The young earth spirit looked at the shallow wound on the other's neck, which was no longer than a thumb, and sighed.

"Forget it, it seems that he really knows nothing," the young earth spirit said, turning the blade to point at Lu Lin, "Then, it's your turn. Although I don't know you, you are here now. You don't want to tell me that this is just a coincidence, right?"

In an instant, Lu Lin felt that Li Mi behind him was tense.

Lu Lin hurriedly held her hand and whispered: "Don't move, I'm here."

This scene was seen by all the earth spirits, and suddenly there was a burst of sneer around.

Some people even said directly: "This kid is really good, and he thinks he is taking a girl out for a spring outing."

Someone else said disdainfully: "Pretend, beat him half to death later and see how he pretends."

But the young blue-haired earth spirit did not do so, but frowned.

Lu Lin happened to appear here, and was with people from the opposite faction. He actually suspected that Lu Lin was from the opposite faction at the first time, and even suspected that the problem that occurred in the duel just now was caused by Lu Lin.

But looking at the current situation, he is a little unsure.

After all, if Lu Lin was really the other party's helper, how could he be left here by the other party?

Even if the other party is not a martial artist and sells out his own people, how can Lu Lin explain that he is accompanied by such a weak-looking woman who dares not say a word and is obviously a burden?

He was looking at Lu Lin, and Lu Lin was also looking at him at this moment.

At first, Lu Lin thought that he was in trouble for no reason, but now, looking at the obviously different young earth spirit in front of him, Lu Lin had other ideas.

Perhaps, this is an opportunity...

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth," Lu Lin said, "I was originally planning to go to the town, but halfway through, I heard your voices of challenge. I don't know what happened, so I came to see, that's all."

"What a meaningless answer, do you think I will believe you with such an excuse?" The young earth spirit frowned.

"No, of course not, but compared to asking you to believe me, I actually think that another thing is more important," Lu Lin said, "Don't you want to know why your elder brother died?"

Chapter 43 One Price, 100,000

Beside the headless corpse, Lu Lin was squatting beside the corpse and observing something. The young blue-haired earth spirit stood beside him, his face uncertain.

Obviously, he didn't want strangers to touch his elder brother's corpse, but when he thought of the curse Lu Lin mentioned and the abnormality that occurred during the duel, he still forced himself to hold back his displeasure.

As for the other earth spirits present, they all knew that the most uncomfortable person at the scene must be this young blue-haired earth spirit.

Since he didn't say anything, they naturally wouldn't interfere.

"Ah, found it!" Lu Lin said, stood up, picked up a small red crystal with a diameter of about a few millimeters with tweezers, and handed it to the blue-haired earth spirit, "Here, take a look."

"What is this?" The young earth spirit subconsciously stretched out two fingers, trying to pinch the small red crystal.

But as soon as he pinched it, the crystal melted instantly at his fingertips.

He opened his fingers and looked at it, and said in astonishment: "Is this blood?"

"Yes, it's blood," Lu Lin withdrew the tweezers, "But did you see clearly what it looked like before? If not, I'll find another one for you."

The young earth spirit was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Subconsciously, he wanted to say no, but since he had just started working on it, he really didn't see what this little thing looked like before.

Seeing him like this, Lu Lin knew the situation. He squatted down again and used tweezers to rummage through the blood stains near the neck of the corpse. After a while, he found another one.

"I can see it clearly this time," Lu Lin put the crystal in front of the young earth spirit.

This time, not only the young earth spirits, but also other surrounding earth spirits showed curious expressions. Many people moved to the edge about one or two meters away, stretching their necks to look here.

"You see clearly, so what is this?" the young earth spirit asked.

"It's the crystallization of blood," Lu Lin said. "This is the product of a curse. As long as the curse takes effect, a large amount of this crystal will be produced in the blood of the cursed person. Judging from this amount, even the tattoo just now will If I don’t kill him, I’m afraid your eldest brother will soon die from the curse... Well, no, to be precise, the reason why he would kill him without caring about his feelings is because he is afraid that you will see the clues. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

In fact, while they were angry about what the tattooed brother had just done, they were also a little confused.

After all, according to the usual practice, in this kind of gang leader duel, unless there is an accident caused by Daojian Wuyan, basically he will not kill him.

After all, they are all members of the same gang. Killing the other party will not only make it difficult to convince the crowd, but will also cause your gang to lose a powerful warrior second only to the gang leader. It has always been considered an act that outweighs the gain and loss.

Now that Lu Lin has given this explanation, everything seems to make sense.

Lu Lin looked at the people whispering among each other and was thinking.

The reason why he can recognize this curse is that he can also make something that can achieve similar effects.

Under the [Curse Recipe]·[Spell Potion] category, there is a curse potion called "Primary Blood Crystal Vine Curse Killer Potion". Pour this potion on a scarecrow made from a medium that is close to the object of the spell. Let this kind of crystal appear in the opponent's body within a short period of time.

In human terms, it means directly creating blood clots in other people's bodies.

However, this primary potion from the Lulin Society can only generate single-digit crystals in the target's body, and the duration is also very short. Whether it will really affect the person's body depends on luck. If you are unlucky, , it will only cause short-term sluggish blood flow in some of the target blood vessels.

As for the curse suffered by the person in front of me, although the type is the same, its effect is much stronger. According to current observations, there are at least dozens of large and small crystals in the blood spurted from the neck.

With this amount of crystals, it is almost impossible for the internal organs and brain to remain unaffected.

In other words, this is at least the effect that an intermediate or high-level blood crystal vine curse-killing agent can achieve.

Can……

In this small Diling town, he had never heard of anyone who could make such a thing.

Just as Lu Lin was thinking, he heard a bang, and a small piece of bark was smashed into pieces by the blue-haired young earth spirit on the thick tree nearby.

"Asshole! In other words, those bastards have planned everything from the very beginning?" The young blue-haired man clenched his teeth, "They didn't intend to fight openly and openly. That bastard knew he couldn't defeat my elder brother, so he prepared it in advance Collided with others to cast a curse today and killed my elder brother? "

"At least based on the available intelligence, this is the most reasonable explanation," Lulin shrugged.

"But how do you recognize this kind of curse?" The young earth spirit turned to look at Lu Lin, "Curse is a taboo in the empire. It is impossible for ordinary people to have access to similar knowledge. How come you just happen to recognize it? "

"Because I am an alchemist, we will also learn some things related to curses," Lu Lin said. "Also, do you really believe the taboos they say? Haha, even the Holy Cult itself is learning these things."

"What you're saying..." The young earth spirit frowned, "Forget it, I don't know about the Holy Religion, but why didn't I hear that there was another alchemist in the town?"

"That's because I keep a low profile," Lu Lin said. "However, it's easy to verify my identity. I wonder if you have heard that there is a new batch of explosives in town recently. That is what I gave to the underground treasures." If you want to confirm my identity, just go to the store and ask."

The young earth spirit was stunned for a moment, then looked at the members of the Black Snail Gang.

Soon, someone raised his hand and said, "Ah, I know about this. Not long ago, Underground Treasure got a batch of alchemical explosives from somewhere. Recently, the flame grass explosives were out of stock, and all the ones used in the mine were It’s this batch of explosives.”

After hearing this, the young earth spirit frowned and was a little undecided.

He still felt that Lu Lin was suspicious.

I don't blame him, after all, everything was a bit too coincidental.

However, as luck would have it, Lu Lin's behavior did not conform to the logic of the person who cast the curse. If it was really him, there was no need for him to appear in such a place, and there was no need to tell them that there were so many things.

"You are willing to tell me so much, not just to let me let you go, right?" the young earth spirit said.

"Yes, I want to negotiate a deal with you," Lu Lin said. "I still have some information about this curse that I haven't told you. This information may help you find the real culprit behind the scenes, but...this information, I’m not going to tell you for free.”

"Huh? Do you want to negotiate terms with us?" An earth spirit on the side suddenly interrupted, "Do you really know what situation you are in now?"

"Of course I know, but I feel like you may not know much about it," Lu Lin glanced at him, "You want to avenge your elder brother and find out the real culprit behind the scenes, but you know nothing about curses, and I, He's probably the only one who can help you now."

After the words fell, Lu Lin turned his head, looked at the young earth spirit in front of him with a smile, and asked: "What do you think?"

The young earth spirit pondered for a few seconds, then raised his head and asked, "What do you want?"

"Money," Lu Lin said, "Whether it's detailed information about this curse or anything you don't understand during the follow-up investigation, you can come to me. As long as the price is right, I can tell you."

"In other words, you are just going to talk?" The young earth spirit raised his eyebrows.

"I am an alchemist, not a mage, nor a warrior," Lu Lin said. "What you need is also my knowledge. I don't think there is any problem with that. Ah, of course, if you want to buy alchemy creations, I can also provide them."

The young earth spirit looked at Lu Lin, frowned and thought for a long time, and then said: "Then, how much do you want to ask for all the information about this curse?"

"Hmm..." Lu Lin touched his chin, "How about fifty silver coins?"

"So expensive?!" The crowd suddenly let out a few exclamations.

"I'm afraid there are only two people in the entire town who can provide this information," Lu Lin shrugged. "One is me and the other is the murderer. Think about it again, is this really expensive?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not. What's important is that this is not what I want," the young Earth Spirit said. "You just said that if we want to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, the only helper we can find is you... …”

Hearing this, Lu Lin frowned and said in surprise: "Yo? It sounds like you want to talk about a big business?"

"Yes," the young Earth Spirit gritted his teeth and said, "I want you to help me find the bastard behind the scenes and make everyone involved in this matter pay for it with their lives. I wonder if you can do this? "

"Well..." Lu Lin touched his chin, "Of course you can't rely on me alone. After all, the other party has a cooperative relationship with your opponent, but if we cooperate, that's a different matter."

"Of course we will help, this is our hatred," the young Earth Spirit said solemnly, "In that case, let's make a price."

"Come on, then I won't talk nonsense," Lu Lin nodded, "One price, ten gold coins."

Chapter 44: We drove away the jackals, but we failed to escape the swords and guns of our fellow tribesmen.

Diling Town, second floor of "Lanwei Dojo".

Lu Lin sat on the luxurious wood-carved chair, supporting his chin with one hand and holding hot tea with the other, gently shaking the tea leaves and observing the light ripples in the tea cup.

Beside Lu Lin, Li Mi sat quietly, her head lowered, and the brim of her hat blocked her face, making it difficult to see her face clearly.

Um.

All right.

Lu Lin admitted that there was some bravado in his pretense.

In fact, not only now, but also when he was talking to the Black Snail Gang before, he deliberately acted like a superior.

This is not because he wants to show off, but Lu Lin knows very well that if he wants to do business with the Black Snail Gang, a group of guys who bully the weak and fear the strong, he must put on a high profile.

Even if he is just a junior alchemist, he still has to pretend to be inscrutable. Only in this way can he negotiate terms on an equal footing with these wolves and tigers.

Of course, in some sense, doing so is just trying to make someone look fat.

Whether you have to deal with an alchemist who can refine mid-to-high-level formulas, or cooperate with these black snail gangs who may turn against you at any time, it is a risky behavior.

In the past, Lu Lin would never have taken this risk.

But since the incident with the Crusaders, Lu Lin's mind has changed.

The pain of that day that was worse than death was still vivid in his mind. The pressure of putting all his future on his own judgment made Lu Lin breathless even if he thought about it now.

You know, this is still a situation where the Crusaders haven't discovered them. Just a search operation can bring this kind of pressure. Compared with them...
