The muffled sound coming from the underground woke up the residents of Kennington Street. The witchers rushed to the scene as soon as possible after receiving the news. However, what waited for them was a completely sealed wall.
The darkroom located under the bed in the housekeeper's room on the first floor disappeared. Not only the darkroom, but also the passage leading to the darkroom was gone. It was as if it had never existed. When the floor tiles were lifted, only the solid earth was left.
1 a.m., Flower Street, East London.
The street was quiet and filled with light mist. A pool of shadows clinging to the ground passed through the narrow muddy street and rushed into the gate of No. 27.
In the living room, Ma Wei and others lifted the magic of the mud shadow and restored it to its original appearance. They lit the kerosene lamp and sat in front of the fireplace to warm themselves up from the cold air.
"Brother, that werewolf named Kenneth became stronger because he took this thing?"
Lai Wen turned over the charcoal to make the fire in the fireplace more intense, then took out a crystal clear round stone and pointed it at the firelight to observe.
The stone dug out from Kenneth's mouth was about the size of a cat's eye. It was a light red translucent bead. Judging from the texture, it looked a bit like jade. I don't know if it was naturally formed.
Through the firelight in the stove, Lai Wen found that there seemed to be viscous liquid flowing in the cat's eyeballs, but there was no sound of liquid when it swayed, which made him confused.
With the help of this cat's eyeball, Kenneth successfully rescued his companions. Not only that, with the cat's eyeball in his mouth, he can gain explosive power at any time, turn his fur white, and temporarily evolve into a high-level werewolf.
This was the first time Ma Wei had seen an extraordinary item that could enhance his own strength, and he was also curious about the origin of the cat's eye beads.
Asked Edward, Edward also knew nothing about this cat's eye, and there was no record of it in the Vampire Secret Book.
There was no other way. In order to unlock the secret of the cat's eyes, Ma Wei had to invite the 'encyclopedia' - Buggy.
In the shielding field created by the mithril tag, Buggy's shadow slowly appeared in front of the fireplace. When she was awakened from her sleep, she thought that Ma Wei had something important to do, but she didn't expect...
It was actually for a bead.
"Can you please stop calling me for such trivial matters in the future?" Buggy said somewhat depressedly: "It takes energy to show up. I helped you deal with Anatole last time!"
The Baggy in Ma Wei's body is a projection and clone of the God of Reality. It contains limited energy, just like a battery. It must be forced to shut down when it is used up.
Replenishing energy is also very simple, as long as Mavi goes to Buggy's Kingdom of God.
But London is under the surveillance of the three goddesses of destiny. If you want to go to the Kingdom of God quietly, you need to stay away from London. However, Ma Wei has never had the idea of leaving London. As a result, the energy lost by Buggy's clone has not been replenished. , so she chose to sleep for a long standby, and to avoid the prying eyes of the three goddesses of fate. As a result...
Ma Wei wakes her up once every three days, and the energy consumed when turning it on is higher than when it is on standby!
"It just so happens that I have to leave London recently. I'll help you replenish your energy then."
"Are you leaving London?" Buggy was stunned for a moment. She was sleeping and didn't know what was happening in the outside world: "Where are you going?"
"Go to Brookwood, a town 96 kilometers away from London... By the way, do you know who the owner of London's underground black market is?"
"have no idea."
"You don't know or you don't want to tell?"
"I really don't know." Buggy said helplessly: "The reality of London's underground black market is one of the things that is difficult for me to understand."
Ma Wei's eyelids twitched: "Is it related to the ancient gods?"
"Um."
Although Buggy is the God of Truth, the truth she knows is only the truth of ordinary people and religious gods. She cannot discern the truth of the ancient gods. Ma Wei has known this for a long time.
If we use reverse thinking to speculate, any truth that Budge cannot detect is most likely related to the ancient gods. This can be regarded as a kind of truth.
If Baji was in her heyday, she might have been able to defeat the ancient god's methods. But now she has been exiled to the endless darkness, with only a handful of believers, and her strength has been greatly reduced, and she can no longer compete with the ancient god.
In the final analysis, Bage has not gotten rid of the shackles of belief in God. The source of power is still linked to the quantity and quality of believers.
"The ancient god's minions have indeed reached London..."
Ma Wei rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little headache. No matter where he went, he could find traces of the ancient gods. The underground black market in London was most likely related to the Free Association. After all, the ancient gods were the backers of the Free Association.
Buggy couldn't provide him with much useful information, so Ma Wei could only investigate the black market on his own. Whether he could dig out the carrots and bring out the mud would depend on how deep the underground black market in London was buried.
"What is the origin of this cat's eye?"
"It's an active strengthening stone made by the golden gods. Some people call it cat's eye stone, and some people call it strengthening stone." Badji said: "This thing was not uncommon in my time. The liquid flowing inside is red mithril. Red mithril can make people emotionally unstable, irritable and extremely manic, and is a dangerous item in alchemy technology."
"How to use it specifically? Put it in your mouth? Are there any restrictions?"
"There are no restrictions. Anyone can use it...Who told you to put it in your mouth?"
"I saw a werewolf use it like this."
"A waste of natural resources..." Budge shook his head: "The active strengthening stone made by the Golden Gods will have a millipede between life and death. The alchemical magic circle is in the body of the millipede. This is The insurance designed by the Golden Gods to prevent the core technology from being leaked. The structure of the magic circle cannot be seen from the outside. Once someone breaks the bead and lets the red mithril come into contact with the air, the millipedes inside will die instantly and turn into A pile of scorched earth to protect the secrets of alchemical technology."
"No!" Li Wen held up the beads and looked around: "There is only a pile of red liquid in it, and there are no millipedes!"
"That's because the millipede is between life and death and is integrated with the red mithril. As long as you activate the water mist magic, you can force it out of the red mithril."
Lai Wen is a man of action. After hearing Badi's explanation, he immediately activated the water mist magic, letting the light blue mist wrap the beads. After a while...
Inside the bead, in the gurgling red liquid, a small and curved millipede emerged. It was very aggressive. As soon as it appeared, it rushed towards the letter and kept hitting the wall of the bead.
"This bead was originally intended to be used with other alchemical technologies. Just holding it in your mouth can gain enhanced power, but it cannot eliminate the side effects of red mithril. If you hold the active strengthening stone directly, even if He is an honest person who is usually obedient and hardworking, but he can also become extremely aggressive and even lose his mind."
“Can God use it?”
Buggy glanced at Ma Wei and said in a deep voice: "The principle of the active enhancement stone is to use the alchemy magic circle in the millipede's body to purify and accelerate the magic power infused by the user, making the power more violent and bringing unexpected strengthening. Effect, although the magic power transformed by gods is the purest, the acceleration effect of high-level strengthening stones can indeed enhance the strength of gods to a certain extent, but..."
"But what?"
"If you want to enhance the strength of the gods, it is not enough to have a high-grade strengthening stone. You need to wear the matching alchemy technology. Only in this way can you achieve the purpose of enhancing the power of the gods... By the way, the active strengthening stone you got, It is the lowest quality, the production process is very inferior, and it is most likely made by an apprentice, let alone a god, even if Edward used it, it would have no effect."
"Can I use it?" Laiwen suddenly asked.
"You..." Buggy stared at the message for a long time: "Okay, but you have to be careful about the side effects of red mithril and don't lose your mind."
Lai Wen turned to look at Ma Wei, his eyes full of expectation.
"Since you are the only one who can use it, I'll give it to you, but remember to disinfect it before using it. After all, this strengthening stone has been held in the werewolf's mouth for so long, and it's covered in their saliva..."
"No, brother, please don't disgust me!"
