"I am Maddie Manson, the commander of the Fighting Alchemists. I was originally a member of the Rebirth Alchemist Association. Now, I work for the Alchemy Temple and serve as the elder of the Alchemy Branch in the Lower City."
The speaker was a man wearing the alchemical armor of the Templar Guard.
His alchemical weapon is a piece of silver armor with exquisite carvings. The metal armor on both shoulders extends to both sides like wings. The white cloak on the back has golden edges and flows automatically without wind, making him extraordinary and majestic.
The commander, named Maddie Manson, rushed over after noticing Maeve Le talking to Meat Eyes.
Li Nuo drew a magic scroll of "The Breath of the Dead" on the spot and gave it to Maddie Manson for use.
Maddie Manson declined Li Nuo's kindness in a confident tone. He looked at Li Nuo for a few times, and his eyes paused for a moment on the magic robe of the Death Council.
It can be seen that he cares a lot about Li Nuo, a powerful wizard.
Maeve Le briefly introduced Li Nuo to Maddie Manson, saying that he had just used the professor's high-level magic to clean up all the enemies.
Maddie Manson briefly greeted Li Nuo and accepted this statement.
Li Nuo threw out the deconstruction technique and took a look.
The energy required to completely deconstruct Maddie Manson is as high as 220,000 points. This shows that this person is a seventh-level alchemist, and he is also the kind who focuses on the field of combat.
Li Nuo thought about it and found that he did not see the great alchemist taking action. But looking at the opponent's confident look, I guess his strength is not weak.
Li Nuo put away the extra magic scrolls and stayed aside quietly, watching the scene where Maddie Manson and Maeve Le were discussing with Meat Eyes.
What Mevle wants to gain from Meat Eyes is extraordinary knowledge about aberrations.
Where do aberrations come from, whether there is a possibility of artificially creating aberrations, whether specific things can be transformed into aberrations through the power of magic, etc. To questions like these, Mevle is eager to get answers.
The answer given by the meaty eyes is vague and tempting.
It says that aberrations are actually pets that are seriously out of control. Under normal circumstances, the aberration should grow into a "flying giant". It is not sure whether the power of magic can give birth to a "winged giant". However, in the past few decades, it has seen many alchemists create aberrations using magic circles.
This simple sentence involves "flying giants", aberrations, alchemy and magic at the same time. It accurately captures the psychology of Maeve Le and Maddie Manson, and also quietly hints that "magic may not be able to induce birth." Winged Giant', but alchemy might do."
This kind of ambiguity, filled with the word "possible", brushes over the hearts of the audience like fluffy dog's tail grass, making people feel itchy.
At first glance, it sounds like the meaty eyes answered Maeve Le's question head-on. But after thinking about it carefully, it actually didn't say anything. It just followed Mevle's words and repeated the question in a different way.
Faced with such tortuous words, the wizard and the alchemist showed obvious differences in attitude.
As a bystander, Li Nuo felt that everything he said was bullshit and full of deception.
As a conversationalist, Mevle has a thirst for knowledge in her heart. Her reaction speed was a few seconds slower than Li Nuo's, but she quickly came to her senses and was not led around by the meaty eyes.
Maddie Manson obviously believed the meat-eyes nonsense. He asked before Maeve could ask Meat Eyes for more details.
The commander from the Alchemy Temple branch summoned two mechanical hands from the alchemy weapon. The manipulator on the left holds a large writing pad, and the manipulator on the right holds a pen.
Two robot hands scribbled several lines of words on the writing board, then raised the board and showed it to Meatloaf's eyes:
"We, the Golden Federation, need universal metal powder. If you can provide us with universal metal powder stably, you can stay underground temporarily. We will use the magic circle space to seal you. As long as you obey our arrangements, we will I will return the two 'Flying Wing Giants' to you."
"Are you crazy? Maddie Manson." Maeve looked at the tall alchemist commander in disbelief:
"How can you tolerate a child of alien pollution on your land?! Aren't you afraid that it will pollute everything you have?! Do you know that this is an extremely dangerous approach? Alien pollution does have We need knowledge and extraordinary abilities, but they are not pets! Not neighbors!."
Maddie Manson reacted indifferently when faced with Maverick's questioning.
He put his hands on his hips, and the air flow ejected from his alchemy cloak hovered in the air. His body stood straight, and his whole body exuded an unquestionable aura.
He waved his hand and interrupted Mevle's words:
"That's enough, madam. I have to remind you that this is the territory of the Alchemy Temple. We have our own judgment and code of conduct when it comes to dealing with alien space pollution. Please be careful with your words. It will allow you to enter this place. The pollution field is purely based on the contract we signed with you. If you continue to interfere in our communication with this meat eye, I may take some measures to clear the noise from the site."
Maeve Le's body stiffened, then trembled slightly, and she looked like she was furious.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm. Thinking back to the meaty eyes and what Maddie Manson said, a ridiculous speculation came to her mind.
"I understand." Mevle's voice trembled:
"You, you, your Alchemy Temple have known for a long time that there is a descendant of alien pollution in the Black City, right? You used the power of this descendant to mass-produce aberrations and universal metal powders. You actually interacted with the alien sky Pollution has cooperated for so long, no wonder they have not allowed us, the Elemental Tribunal, to carry out magical experiments on aberrations."
"It's not too late to let you know." Maddie Manson said lightly:
"Do you think that our distortion of producing universal metal powder was conjured out of thin air? We can only achieve this feat by using the power of alien space pollution. In the view of your wizards, the pollution field is caused by an alien space pollution The invasion incident. But in our eyes, this is just an out-of-control incident of the alchemy device that produces universal metal powder. That meat eye is not so much alien space pollution as it is a core alchemy component with abnormal operating parameters. As long as we adjust its operating parameters, the alchemy device that produces universal metal powder will naturally get back on track."
In a conflict of ideas, both parties to the conflict will often complain to each other that the other party is a "stupid". Maddie Manson and Maeve Le should be in this state.
After hearing Maddie Manson's theory, Mevle's body trembled and her mouth opened again and again. She didn't know how to refute the other party for a while.
In her opinion, all of Maddie Manson's views are wrong, especially the starting point.
Meat eyes can create aberrations, and aberrations can produce universal metal powder. In this matter, the wizard's view is that the extraordinary ability to study the eyes of flesh is to dig out the principles and truth behind it, and then use magic to copy its ability and become an extraordinary ability controlled by the wizard.
But in the eyes of the alchemists headed by Maddie Manson, they believe that alien space pollution is a tool. As long as you set the operating parameters of the alchemy device and perform regular maintenance and upkeep, you can use alien space pollution to produce what you want.
From Li Nuo's perspective, these two ideas for dealing with extraterrestrial space pollution have their own merits.
The wizard's ideas require a lot of time and energy, and many dangerous magical experiments. The cost of project research is extremely high, and the final results may not be satisfactory.
The alchemist's idea is efficient, concise, requires less investment, has a short cycle, and produces results quickly, but it is very dangerous. Once alien space pollution gets out of control, an invasion will occur.
Li Nuo felt that if we were pursuing efficiency and results in the short term, it would be okay to adopt the alchemist's approach, but from a long-term perspective, the wizard's approach was correct.
Facing the differences between herself and the alchemist, Maeve was stunned for five seconds, and then she said with a long sigh:
"Hey, look around you, Maddie Manson. The alien space pollution invasion incident here destroyed most of the rift corridor, and countless alchemists died here. Even so, you still think that the alien space pollution will Is it a worthwhile thing for pollution to remain in the city for a long time?"
"Failure is the mother of success, and setbacks are the revelation of progress." Maddie Manson said nonchalantly:
"What happened here can only prove that the alchemical devices we designed in the past have flaws, and we cannot deny our alchemical philosophy of applying everything. When we complete the improvement of the alchemical device that produces universal alchemical powder, this descendant of alien space pollution will There will never be a chance to cause chaos."
Maeve Le asked:
"Is this what you mean, or what the Alchemy Temple means?"
Maddie Manson responded:
"This is the intention of all the great sages of the Alchemy Temple. No one has raised any objections. I am a firm supporter of this plan."
Maeve Le remained silent. She sat on the magic broom, moved to the side, stood with Li Nuo, and became a member of the bystanders.
Although Maeve Le didn't say it explicitly, her attitude was obvious. She had given up her intention to communicate with Maddie Manson, and she did not want to continue discussing matters with Meat Eyes as a interlocutor.
Li Nuo shook his head secretly.
How do you say that?
The real chill is not making a fuss.
Maeve Le's mental activity at this time should be consistent with these words.
Without her interference, the conversation between Maddie Manson and Meat Eyes became smoother.
The two parties started discussions on the matter of "production of universal metal powder".
Maddie Manson wants everything to go back to the way it was before.
Maddie Manson wanted the meat eye to obediently return to the sealed space where it was previously sealed after the pollution was removed.
Until the Alchemy Temple develops a more efficient and safer alchemy array, the Meat Eyes will continue to provide extraordinary power to the existing array in the sealed space. When a new alchemy array is developed, Meatloaf Eyes must cooperate with the work of the Alchemy Temple.
If during this period, the flesh eye leaves the sealed space again, the Alchemy Temple will join forces with the wizards to punish it.
Eh? etc?
Join the wizards to punish each other?
Maeve Le objected on the spot.
She said coldly:
"Thank you for your kindness, Maddie Manson. Let me tell you in advance that after the pollution field here is lifted, the Elemental Trial will leave the Golden Federation within a month. From now on, you will not receive any magical assistance from the Elemental Trial. .”
Maeve Le's words were beyond Maddie Manson's expectations.
The alchemist commander was stunned for a moment and then asked:
"Don't you want to study aberration magic? Isn't this the knowledge you have always longed for?"
Mevle's voice remained unchanged:
"We are wizards, not fools, nor fools to be played by others. We respect the choice of every country. Since your Alchemy Temple insists on cooperating with alien pollution, then we can only wish you good luck. In the world There are so many extraordinary phenomena that need to be studied, and the disaster of aberrations here in your Golden Federation is just one of them. You are not our only choice."
Now it was Maddie Manson's turn to remain silent. This guy and the Alchemy Temple behind him probably thought that they and others could use the research mission of the Wizards Advancement Association as a threat to force the Elemental Trial to cooperate with their work.
Now it seems that the actual situation is somewhat different from what the Alchemy Temple imagined.
Maddie Manson thought for a few seconds, softened her tone, and said after discussion:
"Madam, is the Elemental Trial willing to participate in the work of sealing the tainted offspring? We can share with you a part of the alchemy device that produces universal metal powder. This part of the device includes the alchemy facility for batch manufacturing of aberrations. You can use this part of the device, Study aberration magic."
Li Nuo glanced at Maeve Le's expression without revealing any trace, trying to see her reaction.
This is important.
Because I have to discuss cooperation with the other party later. If Mevle showed hesitation and wavering in the face of Maddie Manson's overtures, then such a person is actually not qualified to be his partner.
Fortunately, Maeve Le's performance was not bad.
The lady shook her head firmly and said:
"Thank you again to the Alchemy Temple for your kindness. But the decision I have made will never change."
After saying this, Maeve Le shut her mouth tightly and stopped speaking.
Li Nuo gave Mevle a thumbs up in his mind. The other party showed due courage and decisiveness on issues involving principles, which made Li Nuo take a high look. When working with such people, the probability of being betrayed is generally very low.
Maddie Manson was a little annoyed by Maeve Le's reaction.
However, he did not show it and maintained the momentum that a commander should have:
"Oh, okay. Our Alchemy Temple respects the decision of the Elemental Trial."
Maddie Manson said something polite and perfunctory, then turned around and got into the discussion with Meat Eyes.
After about half an hour, both sides came up with a draft.
The descendants of the Blood Sun Seal, namely Meat Eyes, will remove the contaminated area as agreed and return to the sealed space. After that, it will serve the Alchemy Temple for 50 years, undertaking the work of mass-producing aberrations and universal metal powders.
As for the Alchemy Temple, two "Flying Wing Giants" will be handed over to the descendants of the Blood Sun Seal. The other party can open an alien opening 50 years later under the supervision of the Alchemy Temple and return to his own body with the "Flying Wing Giant". During these 50 years, the "Flying Wing Giant" will be kept by the Alchemy Temple.
Is it a good deal to exchange two "flying giants" for 50 years of universal metal powder production?
Maddie Manson clearly thought it was a good deal. Ever since the draft was drawn up, he had exuded an aura of joy.
The Alchemy Temple not only gained 50 years of production of all-purpose metal powder, but also had 50 years to research the "Flying Wing Giant". This deal was a huge profit for the Alchemy Temple.
He, Maddie Manson, is definitely a first-class contributor.
Similarly, Blood Clot Eyes has achieved its purpose and can return to its original body with its "out-of-control pet" after 50 years.
This draft is a win-win deal for both parties.
Maeve Le did not comment on the draft, but simply witnessed the birth of the draft.
As for Li Nuo
He doesn't feel that the Alchemy Temple has made any money.
He only felt that Maddie Manson and the Alchemy Temple were blinded by ignorance and greed.
Li Nuo had a feeling that the Alchemy Temple would be deceived by the eyes of the meat.
This is one of Li Nuo's views.
Secondly, Li Nuo noticed something strange:
The Alchemy Temple seems unaware of Nicole's existence.
It is not difficult to see from Maddie Manson's words that he thought that the fleshy eyes were directly locked in the sealed space.
But in fact, as a contaminant of the Blood Sun Seal, the flesh eye was attached to the angel seed, and then followed Nicole, who contained the angel seed, into the sealed space.
Without Nicole's pure soul, without the angel seeds suppressing the pollution of the Blood Sun Seal, Meat Eyes can open the next alien opening as long as he gathers enough strength.
With the cunningness of the meaty eyes, it would not be difficult for it to deceive the two "flying giants" from the Alchemy Temple into its hands before opening a new alien opening.
It can be said that the seemingly win-win draft is actually evidence that the Alchemy Temple has been deceived.
Li Nuo thought for a while, and there was only one reason why this scam was so perfect:
That is, among the humans at the scene, he was the only one who knew about the existence of the Angel Enterprise Complex. Meat Eyes also knew about the Angel Enterprise Complex, but it had never mentioned it to anyone.
Li Nuo raised his head and looked at the battlefield far above.
During the period of negotiating the draft, more combat alchemists entered the field of pollution. At this time, more than 10,000 combatants gathered on the battlefield.
The Angel of Pollution was controlled by Meatloaf's eyes and entered a state where he could not fight back.
The combat alchemists easily killed more than forty of them.
Under Maddie Manson's instruction, only four Pollution Angels survived. Two of them are reserved for the eyes of the meat block, and the other two are expected to be "accepted" by the Alchemy Temple.
"The Alchemy Temple is more greedy than I thought." Li Nuo muttered to himself.
Li Nuo threw the deconstruction technique at the four surviving pollution angels, consuming some energy points and obtaining a small part of their personalized panel information.
The panel information of these four pollution angels all lists the "mind binding passwords" that control them.
Li Nuo knew in his heart that after he left the Midas Island, the greed and ignorance of the Alchemy Temple was destined to plunge the Gathering City into turmoil again.
But at that time, I was no longer on Midas Island, and these four mind-binding passwords had no use.
Furthermore, Li Nuo only knew the password, but did not know its pronunciation. Even though he was on the scene, he couldn't pronounce the password correctly to control the pollution angel.
In the future turmoil, the only external force that the Alchemy Temple can rely on is probably the next first-level magic research institution.
