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

There was really no point in chatting with this city lord. Apart from the useless business exchanges, it was just a food tasting with local ingredients.

It's not that Lu Lin doesn't know what to ask, it's just that he doesn't dare to ask what he wants to ask. The city lord is undoubtedly the most dangerous guy here, and he doesn't want to alert the enemy.

After returning to Li Mi and Sili, Lu Lin and Sili looked at each other and remained silent in a tacit understanding.

After all, this is not the place to talk. It was okay that no one paid attention to them before. Now Lu Lin has a lot of eyes on them. If you have anything to say, try not to say it here.

Seeing Lu Lin come back, Liumi, who had been a little nervous, finally relaxed.

As for the basis for judgment...

Of course you can't tell on her face, you can only tell by the way she holds the killer whale.

She was holding the killer whale's tail earlier, obviously planning to take action at any time.

It's no wonder she was so nervous. After all, the city lord looked like an ordinary person on the surface, but in fact, he was not a human being, but a flesh and blood puppet.

He has a human body, but there is no soul inside this body, it is just a puppet.

The actual manipulator behind him, if nothing else, should be a lich.

Liches are generally divided into two types.

One is a wild lich that appears naturally and is a high-level monster.

The other is a lich transformed from a human being, which is a life-extending method exclusively used by necromancers.

Abandon the body and let yourself live in the form of a soul, and control various puppets to show off to others on weekdays.

The advantage of this method is that it can extend the life span. Depending on the strength of the soul of the transformer during his lifetime, the life span may be extended by two to ten times.

At the same time, since there is no restraint of the body, the lich can replace the body with a powerful puppet, and the problem of the weak physical strength of the mage profession naturally disappears.

But there are many disadvantages. The first is that you will lose the five human senses. From then on, you can only use magic vision to observe the environment and nearby situations.

This special vision ability is also present in the Nether Beach Walker, but compared to the Nether Beach Walker who just gave up his vision, the Lich's magical vision will be more comprehensive and extensive.

But as a price, they can no longer enjoy any physical stimulation, can no longer taste delicious food, can no longer drink fine wine, and even have no mood swings because they have lost their brains.

There will be no excitement, no excitement, and even things like a sense of accomplishment or even curiosity will become weak.

And because the body is no longer complete, the individual's magic power and soul cannot continue to grow after transforming into a lich. What kind of strength it was when it was transformed will always be the same strength after that.

If you want to improve yourself, you can only improve in knowledge and technology.

But learning knowledge and studying techniques are very tiring. Without emotional fluctuations, it is difficult for lichs to obtain positive feedback in learning and studying. As a result, most lichs tend to fall into two extremes.

Either they become devoid of pursuits, waste time in muddling along, and become extremely Buddhist and autistic.

Or you will rely on obsession to pursue some extreme and paranoid things, which becomes extremely dangerous.

And obviously, the lich here should belong to the second type.

Tanuki must have felt this, so she was wary of him.

Or maybe Li Mi didn't think so much and was simply afraid of the lich's strength.

After all, necromancers who can become lichs are by no means easy to mess with. Their strength is guaranteed to be at the master level, and it is not impossible to become a grandmaster or even a higher level.

And because the more powerful the lich is, the longer its lifespan is. In fact, among the lich group, the most powerful people are probably the most among all professions.

The reason why they usually have no sense of existence is entirely because of their withdrawn character and extremely polarized mental state, which leads them to either stay quietly and gather ashes somewhere, or they stay somewhere behind closed doors to do their own big things.

However, now that things have happened, Lu Lin can be sure.

The person behind this must be the Necromancy School.

After all, it might be feasible to let a lich build this place, but to run all aspects of this city well would be difficult for a lich with eccentric personalities to do without the help of forces behind it.

In a sense, the results of the investigation are already out.

But after all, there is no evidence, and we don't understand why this place is so prosperous, so we still can't make a good deal.

"What would happen if Tanuki had a direct fight with this thing?"

This idea suddenly popped into Lu Lin's mind.

Ok……

Sure enough, let it go. Lu Lin was not sure what kind of strength Li Mi possessed at full power. If the lich was an old monster at the Grand Master level during his lifetime, he was not sure whether Li Mi could handle it.

Moreover, this is the opponent's territory.

Again, if possible, please do not attack any powerful magician in their hometown. In such a place, the opponent's strength is likely to be several times stronger than in the outside world.

but……

Although Lu Lin would not take action here, it would be hard for others to say.

If this city were the work of a lich...

Lu Lin had some bad premonitions in his heart.

After all, according to rumors, this type of lich is synonymous with extremes and paranoia.

If the underground is really a human battery, or even something more extreme...

According to their plan, the reconnaissance mission was handed over to Lan Jie and Jack Zhengyi, and only the two of them had the opportunity to do it.

But with Jack’s righteous character…

Ok.

I always feel that by then we should be able to see the scene of the Tianri Sect Grandmaster fighting the old lich.

Chapter 169: Some relationships can only occur if the positions are equal.

The dinner was said to last until one or two in the morning.

Of course, only the first two hours can actually be called a party.

This banquet looks like a social banquet for nobles, but in essence it is just a group of tourists who don’t know each other gathering to eat and brag. After eating and drinking, most people naturally go back to the casino to play, or go to the main hall to watch The show went.

Lu Lin and others were no exception. They left the banquet hall after eating.

They wanted to leave just like that, but after going downstairs, the three of them discovered that something was wrong.

There are three ways to leave from here.

One road is the road over to the breakfast banquet, but the garden where the breakfast banquet is eaten is closed except in the morning, so it is obviously impassable.

The other road is a small road into the city. On the way, you have to pass a building with a bunch of guides. Each group of people entering the city will be assigned a guide.

At this time, the door of the building was also closed.

There are two impassable roads, which means that if you want to leave here and enter the city, there is only one way.

It's the right path that goes straight after coming out of the auditorium.

This road is directly connected to the central square of the city. At first glance, it looks extremely wide.

Two neat rows of magic crystal street lamps on both sides emit soft light, illuminating the prosperity of the entire city.

Lu Lin had to admit that the night view of this city was very beautiful, even comparable to that of a bustling modern city.

But the problem is, there is such a wide avenue in front of you, but there is not even a pedestrian on it.

In other words, so far, no one has left after dinner.

Moreover, although it is such a large urban main road, but not even a single citizen passes through it, it is difficult not to suspect that there is some kind of regulation restricting this road.

"Is this road really possible?" Lu Lin couldn't help but ask this question.

"We should be able to leave if we want," Silly said. "After all, we have the identity of the Black Demon School, so we are still different from ordinary tourists."

"What a difference," Lu Lin murmured, "but it would be best if there was no difference."

"That's right, so it's better to be more gregarious," Silly said. "I'll take Suan to the main hall to see what they are going to perform. What about you?"

"Me..." Lu Lin thought for a while and glanced at Li Mi beside him.

Judging from Tanuki's current state, he probably can't understand drama.

Seemingly noticing Lu Lin's gaze towards Li Mi, Silly thought for a moment and said, "By the way, there should be very few people in the hot springs at night. It might be a bit troublesome to take a bath or swim, but there is also a pool for soaking your feet there. , how about you go sit for a while?"

"Huh? That sounds pretty good," Lu Lin nodded, "It just so happens that I haven't been there yet."

"Okay, let's arrange it like this. I'll come find you after watching the show later," Silly said and left first.

Lu Lin looked at Li Mi again.

Ever since meeting the city lord, Tanuki has been in a state of alertness or preparation for war.

"If I go take a foot bath, I wonder if it can help her relax a little bit..."

Lu Lin thought of this and reached out to touch Li Mi's head.

The latter looked over.

Lu Lin smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to sit."

Li Mi remained expressionless as usual, but moved closer to Lu Lin again.

Apparently, this was her response.

Although it is just a small feedback, it is already much better than before.

Lu Lin felt that since Li Mi drank the Kiss of the Moon God, the situation seemed to have been getting better at a very slow speed.

Although I'm not sure to what extent it can recover, as long as it can recover slowly, that's good.

Lu Lin did not expect that after what he had experienced, Li Mi could return to the innocence he had when he first came to this world.

But at least, he hoped that Tanuki could recover and be able to eat, drink and have fun like normal people.

Ok……

But actually she can enjoy eating and drinking now.

even……

Maybe it’s because Rumi can only enjoy eating and drinking at the moment, so there are even signs of becoming a foodie recently.

Also good.

For a long time, Li Mi had to sleep and didn't eat well. He was a little too thin.

Now I can eat well, and my complexion looks much better than before.

While Lu Lin was thinking about this, the two of them also walked to the hot spring swimming pool area.

Somewhat surprisingly, the place was not as deserted as Silly expected.

It is true that the swimming pool area is almost empty, but there are quite a few people taking a bath in the hot spring area.

It is said that the small room at the main hall is enough for all tourists to spend the night temporarily. It seems that these people should plan to take a comfortable bath in the hot spring here, then go to the bathroom, and then directly find a small room to spend the night here.

No.

It should be more than just them.

Rather, all tourists would stay overnight here under normal circumstances.

"Does it control the actions of tourists almost all the time?" Lu Lin thought secretly.

If you look at it this way, tourists can still go around the city with the tour guide during the day, but at night they will be locked up here.

Looking at it this way, if there was an operation to purge tourists, it must have happened on a certain night.

Also, the only road leaving here at night should also be closed?

or……

There's something wrong with that big road itself.

There is even a possibility that tourist purges do not necessarily have to occur on a fixed number of days.

Could it be that as long as you take that road, you will actually become a "cleaned" tourist?

Lu Lin was fascinated by the sudden inspiration and walked forward subconsciously.

But suddenly, he felt his arm being pulled.

Lu Lin was stunned and suddenly came back to his senses.

Then he saw his legs hanging above the pool.
