The career of an evil alchemist started when he picked up the Mad Sword Girl

I heard that it is directly opposite a hot spring swimming pool. To the left is a huge building, which is said to be the main hall here. It is said that there are constant drama, song and dance performances inside. There are also some independent small rooms in the main hall for people to rest. At the same time, it is said that there are Can summon some performances and services.

On the right is the busiest place at present, a smaller building called the front hall.

The outside of the front hall is filled with huge glass floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can see the scene inside at a glance. It is full of various chess and card tables. To put it bluntly, it is a casino.

The place is not big, but apart from the fact that it is not at sea, it has all three elements of a yacht.

Lu Lin thought about it and decided to go to the casino with the most people and the easiest place to get information.

Li Mi naturally followed Lu Lin.

Jack Zhengyi was a little repelled by places like casinos, so he planned to go to the main hall to watch the performance. He happened to be afraid that Tie Zhu would cause trouble in the casino because he was too conspicuous, so he took Tie Zhu to the main hall with him.

As for Silly, she felt that since there were people on both sides, she wanted to go to the swimming pool to have a look.

Lu Lin thought about it and felt that going to the swimming pool alone might cause some trouble, so she asked Lan Jie to follow her there.

Then, at about 11:30, the three groups of people gathered by the pond as agreed to exchange relevant information.

"The notice I received over there is to have lunch on the second floor of the main hall. How about you?" Jack Zhengyi asked first, intending to confirm whether the lunch locations were the same.

"It's the same over there," Lu Lin nodded, "but some people say that if you don't want to go, you can just order food at the casino."

"No one informed us over there, but food was prepared directly on site," Silly said, taking out a box of lunch. "I bought one and brought it over. By the way, this thing will be put there directly." It was brought to you on the water.”

Lu Lin took the lunch box and looked at its appearance.

The lunch box is made to look like it is suitable for floating on the water. When you open it, you will find a variety of snacks that are suitable for picking up with your hands and eating them in one bite. There will be no residue and no soup or water. It is obvious to see Coming out, it was specially designed for the swimming pool.

"There is nothing wrong with the food itself, but if it is prepared in this way, these three facilities should be open all day before the dinner starts," Lu Lin said, "In other words, these three places should be the main places where tourists spend time during the day. Gone somewhere."

"So, are there any bankrupt tourists at the casino?" Silly asked.

"Yes, there are always people who are eager to gamble," Lu Lin said, "but these people will only be kicked out of the casino, and it seems they can stay in the other two areas."

"Ah, I said that from time to time, there will be a few dejected guys here who go crazy in the cold bath," Silly said, "It's strange, does it mean that you won't get hurt if you simply gamble and run out of money?"

"You don't have to spend money on food and accommodation here. At the casino, tourists even open their own casinos to play. They don't exchange chips and just use gold and silver coins to play. It really doesn't look like they rely on the casino's head count," Lu Lin said. "But I did notice that the person who has been playing in the casino the longest has only played here for two weeks."

"Two weeks..." Jack Zhengyi frowned, "Two weeks ago was the [-]th of this month. Well, it's a bit subtle."

"It's hard to say there is any pattern in time, unless this date has any special meaning to them," Lulin said, "but it is certain that they are cleaning up tourists regularly. At least I didn't find anyone who came here two weeks ago. Tourists.”

"The results of my investigation are similar. There are many people at the hot spring who said they came here more than ten days ago." Silly also nodded, "But I think the reason why they cleared away tourists may have nothing to do with time, but with It’s about the numbers.”

"How do you say it?" Jack asked righteously.

"Dinner," Silly said, "Although lunch is served there, dinner is not served. It is said that this is because everyone must be present at the dinner, because the city lord will be present."

"I suspect that this dinner is not just for eating. It may also be used to count the number of tourists. Maybe they will do something only when the number of tourists reaches a certain number."

"Well, speaking of which, if that's the case, then if someone sees this, every time he feels that there are enough people at the dinner party, he sneaks out of the city and waits for a few days before coming back. In this way, can he stay here forever? Are you a tourist?" Lan Jie suddenly interrupted, "Anyway, tourists are not restricted from leaving here, right?"

"You're just stuck here," Lu Lin said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, "Doing this doesn't mean telling the people here, have you guessed the secret here?"

"But it's true that it didn't break the rules," Lan Jie scratched his head, "It shouldn't be hard for them to do anything, right?"

"Idiot, they don't need to do anything extra at all," Silly reached out and knocked Lan Jie on the head. "There are really people who do this. They just need to clean up the tourists in advance. Such smart people will naturally be finished. They have a plan People who follow the rules, you actually expect to defeat them with the rules?"

"Ah... that's right," Lan Jie scratched his head.

"However, I think there may not be such people," Jack Zhengyi expressed a different opinion, "If there are very few such people and they act very low-key, this place may not take care of them."

"Furthermore, we actually only came to this conclusion after only observing for a long time. Even if the tourists have different perspectives from us, there should always be some smart people who are aware of this."

"If such a person can be found, the other party may have some information we need."

"Well... that makes some sense," Lu Lin touched his chin, "Then, if there is such a person, then the most likely place to stay..."

"Sooner or later, gamblers will lose all their money. It's impossible to soak in hot springs for a long time every day. There will always be times when you get tired of watching dramas." Silly said, looking in the direction of the main hall. "I remember that there are people in the main hall. Is there a small room for people to rest in? Will this kind of small room provide ordering service? "

"I went in and found out that there is a food delivery service, but it seems that it can only deliver some snacks," said Jack Zhengyi. "Maybe it's because it's not easy to clean."

"In other words, if there is such a person, do you have to go to the cafeteria for lunch?" Lu Lin touched his chin, "Well... let's go to eat first anyway. Just pay a little attention to this matter and look for it if you can find it. , it doesn’t matter if you can’t find it, in short, everything is going according to plan.”

Chapter 164: Resource utilization really depends on necromancy.

Like the breakfast banquet, the lunch banquet is still held in the form of a banquet buffet, but compared with the single dish of the breakfast banquet, the content of the lunch banquet is much richer, with various dishes of different styles filling the table.

Li Mi and Tiezhu had another spectacular meal on the spot, and it’s no wonder they did so. The variety of dishes and rich ingredients here may not even compare to the high-end buffets that Lu Lin had eaten in his previous life.

At first glance, this may not seem to be a problem, after all, this place has always been so luxurious, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this matter is actually somewhat interesting.

After all, the diverse dishes of modern high-end buffets are only achieved by the cold chain transportation and greenhouse cultivation of modern society as backup conditions. This world does not have such conditions. Most of the dishes in each region and time period are relatively single. .

unless……

Some methods comparable to modern transportation are used to transport ingredients here.

For example, teleportation.

"Long-distance teleportation is another project that consumes a lot of magic power. The magic power supply here is really free," Lu Lin thought secretly, and became more certain in his heart. This situation is definitely not a blood transfusion by some force behind the scenes. Or it can be achieved simply by relying on a few human batteries.

During lunch time, everyone had been looking for tourists like what Lan Jie said.

But in fact, this matter is actually quite clueless.

Do you think this kind of person must have many external differences or obvious characteristics from others?

Lu Lin couldn’t think of it anyway.

So I looked at it for a whole afternoon, but there was no result.

In the afternoon, everyone no longer planned to stay in the three places they had visited before, so they found out if there were any other activities here. Qqun: 543659389% found out that in addition to the inner courtyard, there were several other interesting places in the city. A place for fun.

There are racecourses, racecourses, shopping malls and so on.

If you go to these places, a tour guide will accompany you throughout the journey.

Lu Lin considered whether to go to these places to contact the citizens. After all, if he could meet citizens who had turned from tourists, he might be able to ask some questions.

But Silly held the opposite opinion and believed that it was best not to have contact with the citizens. If according to their guess, the citizens were really screened tourists, then the citizens here should probably be regarded as the city lord's people and contact them. It is possible to alert the snake.

After Lu Lin thought about it, he agreed with this point of view.

He wanted to gather information, but only on the premise that it would not interfere with the established plan. If there was any accident with the citizens, the situation would be beyond the control of his plan.

However, Lu Lin and others still chose to leave here and go shopping in the city.

The location they chose was a shopping mall. Firstly, they could browse around and buy some things, and secondly, because the most information could be found in the mall.

Just like...

After Lu Lin suspected that teleportation was used to transport items here, he thought that he might be able to find clues from the city that supplied them.

The goods in the mall may be able to provide them with some relevant information.

Needless to say, this idea really made Lu Lin come to fruition.

When he was picking out clothes for Numi, Silly found him with a handful of fruits and got him one.

It was a bean-shaped fruit, bright red all over, and looked like a bean-shaped pepper.

Or rather...

Kind of like red human fingers.

Lu Lin took a bite and found that the fruit was very sweet, so sweet that it made him sick. What's more, strangely, there was a faint fishy smell in the fruit.

like……

Is it the smell of blood?

and many more.

"This is...bloody grape?" Lu Lin was stunned.

This is included in his alchemy formula.

[Necromantic Potion]·[Others]·[Blood Finger Vine]

It is something that grows from corpses, between plants and undead creatures. It will grow on huge carrion corpses, and it can also grow on the remains of undead creatures, and then it will absorb the nutrients inside the attached things. Suck it clean and you will end up with clusters of grapes that look like red fingers.

And the fruit he ate was the blood-finger grapes produced by its blood-finger vines.

Although this thing sounds weird, it is actually one of the few formulas with relatively positive effects in necromancy. It is very good at dealing with dead corpses. Not only can it prevent corpses from rotting and plague, but it can also produce high-calorie fruits. In addition to looking disgusting, Other than that, there are almost no shortcomings.

"You are well-informed," Silly nodded, "Yes, it's Blood Finger Grapes, the favorite food of the Necromancy School, and basically only their people will eat it. By the way, the product name here is It says Tomato Grape, obviously they don't want people to know what the original name of this thing is."

"You mean, this place may have something to do with the Necromancy School?" Lu Lin frowned slightly.

"It's hard to say, I've only found this one more noteworthy thing for the time being," Silly said, throwing a blood finger grape into her mouth, "You should also eat it quickly Qqun: 543659389^, this thing The representativeness is quite obvious, and I don’t want anyone to see the clues.”

"Huh? Isn't this easy to handle?" Lu Lin nuzzled at the iron pillar on the side, and then threw half of the grape in his hand into his mouth.

"Ah! That's right..." Silly understood and handed the rest of the grapes to Tie Zhu, indicating that Tie Zhu would eat them all.

Tie Zhu was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Lin.

Lu Lin also nodded.

Tie Zhu immediately beamed and put a whole bunch of grapes into his mouth to show off, not even a grape stem was left.

That's really not a picky eater.

It can only be said that in the area of ​​​​Xuanfan, he was indeed beaten hard.

After that, Lu Lin and the others didn't find any noteworthy products.

After picking out two new sets of clothes for Tanuki, everyone decided to return.

But Lu Lin was always thinking about the Necromancy School.

After all, in terms of manpower utilization, there should be no other profession that can compare to the Necromancer.

After returning, before the dinner party started, everyone found a small room to rest.

As for the issue of long-term tourists, Lu Lin was not in a hurry to look for them, but thought he could wait until tomorrow's breakfast party to find out.

After all, if there is such a person, he should have been tired of the breakfast here, and might prefer to sleep in. Qqun: 543659389&.

The guides here probably won't be very active in asking such people to get up. Thinking about it, they can see if anyone of note appears from nine to ten o'clock.

What he wanted to discuss most now was still the issue of the Necromancy School.

"So, how different is the situation between the Necromancy School and our school?" Lu Lin asked.

"There is a big difference," Silly said. "Although at first glance, the Black Magic School and the Necromancy School are not very popular in the outside world, in fact, the world's acceptance of black magic, witchcraft and black alchemy is very low. Far above necromancy and damnation.”

"In the land of chaos, the life of the Black Demon School is actually pretty good, but the Witchcraft School and the Necromancy School are much worse. Especially the Necromancy School, even here, it is basically invisible."

"Because of this, their activities are more hidden. I even heard that the headquarters of the Necromancy School is a mobile building."

"However, this does not mean that their power is weak. You should also know that although necromancy is not favored by the world, its potential is actually quite terrifying."

"They can provide cheap labor, immortal warriors and monsters, and they also have abnormal characteristics that can make them stronger as they fight. For many unscrupulous people, the temptation of necromancy is great."

"So, I heard that they have actually infiltrated many city-states in private, and their actual influence may be the largest among all schools of thought."

"Moreover, their people have always been very ambitious. Of course, it is not the kind of ambition that makes necromancy recognized by the world, but purely personal ambition."

"It's not difficult to understand," Jack Justice interjected, "If he didn't have this kind of ambition, he wouldn't have come into contact with this evil heretic."

Naturally, Lu Lin and Sili rolled their eyes at this rather prejudiced sentence.

but……

This may not be entirely wrong.

"To sum it up, they are a loose group of dangerous elements who like to hide?" Lu Lin frowned slightly.

"It sounds like it fits the situation here," Lan Jie said.

At this point, everyone fell into thinking and began to recall whether they had seen anything related to necromancy in the city.

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door of their room.

Then, the guide's voice came from outside the door.

"Everyone, it's dinner time. Please clean up and come with me to the banquet."

"Ah! Okay! It's coming!" Lu Lin agreed, then winked at Jack Zhengyi and Lan Jie.

When the two saw this, they looked at each other with understanding.

The dinner they had been waiting for so long finally arrived.
