Ogmundu was left outside the house on the grounds that they only had one invitation letter, so only one person could go in.
Fox didn't want to get entangled with Dawn on this kind of thing, so he decisively agreed to the other party's request, and calmly walked into the room under the slightly resentful eyes of his student.
in the room.
Zhang Xiaoman was doing experiments with Yifei at this time.
On the table, a large alchemy crucible was placed in the middle. The pot was filled with a gray liquid that looked sticky. It made a "gurgling" sound as the flame below heated it.
The curtains in the room were tightly closed, making the whole space seem a little dark.
There are books scattered on the ground, giving people a messy and disorderly feeling.
It can be seen from the cover of the book that these should be materials related to alchemy. Each book is valuable, but now it is discarded on the ground.
Zhang Xiaoman and Yifei were leaning their heads, looking intently at the gray mucus in the crucible. From time to time, they stirred it once or twice with their hands, causing bursts of bubbles.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
There was a knock on the door for the second time. The servant outside would not open the door easily without permission.
"Mr. Polestar, your guest has arrived."
The maid folded her hands in front of her, stood with her legs straight, and stood beside the door and Fox. Her words and deeds were impeccable.
"come in."
Zhang Xiaoman was still watching the scene inside the crucible and said without raising his head.
"Click~"
The door was opened, and Fox slowly walked into the house at the signal of the maid.
At this moment, even with his strength and experience, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.
That was a Dharma Saint, a being who stood at the pinnacle of power in this world.
He has always reached the top of the eighth level, but it is still not the same as the ninth level.
As everyone knows, in the entire history of Erin Continent, there have been countless eighth-level masters, but the existence of ninth-level masters has always been just a phoenix.
Even though there is only one step between the two, this small step is longer than all the previous cultivation paths combined.
Fox didn't know whether the person in front of him was really a saint, but at least from the information he had learned so far, the possibility of this person being a saint was still very high.
After all, out of caution, there is nothing to lose by visiting in person.
Even if the opponent is not a saint-level powerhouse, but he can easily eliminate an entire Wind Cavalry troop with a wave of his hand, then his strength will definitely not be that bad.
However, even though Fox had imagined dozens of scenarios in his mind when the two parties met, he never imagined that it would look like this.
The whole house seemed to have been robbed. All kinds of books and materials were scattered all over the floor. Colorful unknown liquids were poured on the walls. The whole house was so messy that no one could even put a foot down. No.
No wonder the maid just now always seemed to be hesitant to speak after seeing her.
Fox began to doubt his initial judgment. Is this really a place where a powerful man of the holy rank lives?
Even those slums are probably cleaner than here.
"boom!"
While he was thinking, on the table over there, there was a sudden muffled sound in the crucible, and a large amount of gray liquid flew out in all directions, scattering the surrounding walls.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Fox saw a ball of mucus flying towards him, and quickly set up a mana shield. He didn't want his robes to be soiled by such disgusting things.
However, the next scene was completely beyond his expectation.
After touching his shield, the gray mucus stuck to it, like a large indelible spot, clinging to his body.
Fox was secretly shocked. His mana shield was not a glass cover. No matter what it came into contact with, this should not happen.
"Um?"
Then, he was a little horrified to find that the speed of his magic power had slowed down, and there seemed to be some kind of power on the gray mucus that was interfering with his magic power.
At this moment, Fox's vision was occupied by these gray slimes, and he could not see the scene in front of him at all.
He tore off the mana shield, intending to let these things fall to the ground on their own, so as to get rid of the current troubles.
Everything went smoothly at the beginning. After losing the support of the mana shield, the gray matter all fell to the ground as expected.
But then, something he never expected happened. The gray slime on the ground turned out to be like living creatures. When he wasn't paying attention, it quietly squirmed under his feet and wrapped around his hands. leg.
"What is this!?"
Fox was stunned.
At this moment, not only was he physically restricted in his ability to move, but the feeling of mana blockage just now also became more intense.
Some spells that could be constructed by quickly mobilizing magic power are now completely unusable, and the process of casting seems to have been prolonged several times.
This is like a river. The water in it is mana, and the gray mucus is the rocks in the river. When there are too many rocks, it will affect the flow of the river.
In all his life, Fox had never encountered such a situation.
The gray mucus spread up his legs and soon covered his entire lower body.
Fox raised his hands and feet again, trying to get out.
But it is a pity that a mage with such a weak constitution cannot do this at all. He is like a little bug that has fallen into glue, and he cannot break free no matter how hard he tries.
"Be careful. The more you move this thing, the tighter it will be. Relax a little."
At this time, the young man sitting at the table spoke.
Zhang Xiaoman was originally doing an alchemy experiment, but he didn't expect this guy to be so unlucky. By chance, he got entangled in the mucus that shot out of the pot.
"Your Excellency Ji Xing, I am Rickon Fox from the Ironforge Chamber of Commerce. I have accepted your invitation and come to visit you specifically. I also ask you to remove these things."
Fox spoke.
Zhang Xiaoman heard this and said apologetically:
"Sorry, I have just researched this thing. How to neutralize it specifically? There is no corresponding potion yet. Wait a minute and let me think about the formula..."
Fox couldn't help but look a little gloomy when he saw this.
He couldn't care about anything else now. He gritted his teeth slightly, and his magic force broke through the barrier of the gray mucus, building a burst of flame armor outside his body, covering all the mucus in the high temperature.
"呲呲呲……"
A series of scorching sounds were heard, and the mucus finally began to subside under Fox's flames, and finally gradually began to shrink, and then turned into a puddle of water.
It's a pity that after Fox's actions, a large dent was burned out on the floor of the room, which looked a bit dazzling in the room.
"Fox! What are you doing!!?"
Outside the house, a roar sounded, and Dawn spread out his figure and rushed inside with all his strength.
He sensed the magic power fluctuation coming from outside the door, and thought it was the eighth-level great mage who wanted to do harm to his guest.
"Fox! I knew you didn't have any good intentions when you came here. It seems that you really have bad intentions! Do you really care about the future of your Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce and want to fight to the death with our mercenary union!?"
After Dawn entered the door, when he saw the messy scene in Zhang Xiaoman's house, he suddenly thought of some possibility, thinking that Fox had moved his hands, and the fight between the two turned the place into this.
Fox is also feeling a little depressed now.
He originally wanted to come over to visit the saint-level powerful man, but he made such a big mistake when they met. Now he was pointed at and scolded by another person, and he suddenly became angry.
At this moment, when he saw Dao En reaching out to grab him with his big hand, he launched a counterattack without hesitation, and threw a high-temperature pyrotechnic at the opponent's face.
"Everyone please stop, this is just a misunderstanding."
At this moment, a calm voice sounded in their ears.
The next moment, an invisible wall appeared between the two of them. Whether it was Fox's Pyroblast or Dawn's attack, they were all blocked by that wall.
The two men quickly took a few steps back after the attack was blocked, looking at the direction of the sound in horror.
Naturally, it was Zhang Xiaoman who took action to stop them.
After he saw that the two people had misunderstood because of him, he immediately took action to prevent the misunderstanding from deepening.
"This gentleman used his magic power to escape from my alchemy creation. He did not have any ill intentions towards me. Don't misunderstand me, Mr. Dawn."
Zhang Xiaoman stood up and walked towards the two people as he spoke.
At the same time, he waved his right hand gently in the air, and then snapped his fingers.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the damaged area above the ground began to repair itself, and the scattered wooden boards flew to their original positions as if going back in time, and were rejoined to the ground.
The surrounding books also floated at this time, and like swallows returning to their nests, they flew into the bookshelves on both sides.
The areas on the wall that were contaminated by the alchemy potion also looked brand new, with no trace of stain visible at all. The entire room turned into its original state again at this moment, even cleaner than at the beginning. The previous dirty scene was like It's like an illusion.
It only took Zhang Xiaoman less than ten seconds to complete all this.
He used a total of three abilities throughout the process: restoration, cleansing, and dark energy shock.
It's a pity that the large piece of ground burned by Fox's flame armor could not be restored. The wood had been burned to ashes, which was beyond Zhang Xiaoman's ability to repair.
Although the Restoration Technique can repair recent damage to an object, it does so only if the surrounding parts must be damaged again.
In a situation like this where the wood turns directly to ash, even the restoration spell cannot repair it. After all, it does not have the ability to convert matter.
Such a magical scene was completely beyond the understanding of everyone present. At this moment, they all stood motionless and looked at Zhang Xiaoman with the eyes of a monster.
"Really... holy level...?"
But then, something he never expected happened. The gray slime on the ground turned out to be like living creatures. When he wasn't paying attention, it quietly squirmed to his feet and wrapped around his hands. leg.
"What is this!?"
Fox was stunned.
