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

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

"Forget it, it seems that he really doesn't know anything," the young earth spirit said, turning the blade to point at Lu Lin, "Then, it's your turn. Although I don't know you, but you appear here now, you won't You want to tell me this is just a coincidence?"

In an instant, Lu Lin felt that Li Mi's whole body tensed up behind him.

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

Seeing this scene in the eyes of all the earth spirits, there was a burst of scorn from all around.

Some people even directly sneered: "This guy is so good, he still thinks he is taking his girl out for a spring outing."

Someone even said disdainfully: "Just pretending, I'll beat him half to death to see how he pretends."

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

Lu Lin appeared here by chance and was with people from the opposite faction. He immediately suspected that Lu Lin was from the opposite faction. He even suspected that the problem that had just occurred during the duel was caused by Lu Lin.

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

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 doesn't have martial ethics and sells his own people, Lu Lin still has such a weak-looking woman who doesn't dare to say a word and is obviously a drag on Lu Lin's side. How to explain this?

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

At first, Lu Lin only thought that this was an innocent trouble, 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 be honest," Lu Lin said, "I originally planned to go to the town, but halfway through, I heard your voice calling for formation. I didn't know what was going on, so I came over to take a look. That's all. That’s all.”

"It's a useless answer. Do you think I will believe you based on this kind of argument?" The young earth spirit frowned.

"No, of course not, but compared to letting you 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, one hundred thousand

Beside the headless corpse, Lu Lin was squatting next to the corpse and observing something. The young blue-haired earth spirit stood aside with a gloomy expression.

Obviously, he did not want strangers to touch his elder brother's body, but when he thought of the curse Lu Lin said and the strange things that happened during the duel, he still forcibly endured 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, I found it!" Lu Lin said, stood up, picked up a small red crystal about a few millimeters in diameter with tweezers, and handed it to the blue-haired earth spirit, "Here, let's 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 on his fingertips.

He opened his fingers and looked at it, and said in shock: "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 directly kill him without regard for human 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 with 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 that he couldn't defeat my elder brother, so he prepared it in advance. Did you collude with others to cast a curse today and kill my eldest 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's 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 my knowledge. I don't think there is any problem with that. Oh, of course, if you want to buy alchemy creations, I can still 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 story."

"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 teacup.

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.

Ok.

Ok.

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...

Black Snail Gang?

An enemy that can cast a mid- to high-level blood curse?

Ha ha.

Just pediatrics.

Lu Lin now urgently needs to improve his strength, and then take Li Mi to fly far away, leaving the territory of the Holy Religion and staying away from the threat of the Holy Religion.

To do this, he needs to make money, the sooner the better, and he doesn't mind taking some risks.

According to his understanding, the richest group in the entire Diling Town is the Black Snail Gang.

The gold belt of murder and arson is no joke. The money earned by these people who control the underground industry of the town is beyond the reach of even the mayor.

Bang!

A pile of gold coins was placed on the table.

The young blue-haired earth spirit sat on the opposite side of the table and said solemnly: "Put the ten gold coins here now. When the matter is completed, they will be yours."

"Well, actually, you don't have to take them out to show me," Lu Lin said, taking a sip of tea, "I know your Black Snail Gang is very rich, so I won't worry that you can't afford the price."

After hearing Lu Lin's words, the young blue-haired earth spirit laughed.

"Ha, then you are wrong. The Black Snail Gang is rich, but we are not the rich ones." The young blue-haired earth spirit shook his head. "These ten gold coins are almost all we can afford." of working capital.”

Hearing this, Lu Lin was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Lu Lin's reaction, the young blue-haired earth spirit smiled and said: "After all, you are not members of our gang. It is normal for you not to know the inside of our gang. Please introduce yourself, Lan Jie. Kors, the deputy leader of the main sect of the Black Snail Gang, as for the leader... that is my eldest brother, Lanlun Gurs, who was also killed by those bastards before..."

Having said this, the blue-haired earth spirit who called himself Lan Jie clenched his fists unconsciously, and everyone in the Black Snail Gang in the room also looked sad and angry.

"My condolences," Lu Lin put down his teacup, "We will avenge him."
