Card Alchemist

Chapter 160 Ending Work

When the minute hand fell slightly to twelve, a trace of light suddenly appeared in the night sky shrouded in dark clouds. The dark clouds quietly dispersed, revealing the round moon.

The sparse stars reflected the whole night particularly thickly. The bright moonlight fell on the earth in an instant, and another full moon quietly poked its head out of the dense clouds. With a cunning smile, it sprinkled its light all over the continent of Hastan.

Late at night, in addition to the city guards patrolling back and forth on the outer walls, the whole city is wrapped in a quiet darkness. The towering magic guild slightly exudes the purest magic fluctuations in the moonlight, bringing ripples in the air, making the building look a little hazy, as if it can't see its true face. The snail-shaped building next to the Magic Guild looks more and more short and gloomy on this night. If you compare the magic guild to a luxurious palace, people dare not look directly at it. Then the alchemy guild is a shabby and low wooden house, and the empty darkness always carries a sense of excitement.

In addition to the irregular magic fluctuations from it, it makes people feel more and more strange.

And the people of the Magic Guild have been surprised by this for a long time. In their eyes, the alchemists are some inferior guys. They are like some unseemity guys in the Bimun tribe who squat in front of the crucible all day long, fiddling with mahogany sticks and stirring the smelly **.

No one would have thought that there were only two people in such a huge building... Among them was a teenager, who seemed to breathe evenly and smoothly, as if he were asleep. Especially the smile hanging at the corners of his mouth makes people wonder what kind of dream he is having.

At this moment, the teenager quickly opened his eyes. The bright eyes made him not look like he had just woken up from a dream. He stood up quickly and his eyes fell on the pocket watch at the foot of the table.

10:12.

Star looked at his pocket watch, just hesitated for a moment, and immediately took action. This is a rare opportunity, because the next full moon night will be at least twelve days later, so he must prepare all the work before that.

First of all, Star's goal is naturally the Continental Geographical Biography that Sadek returned to him. Whether it is the book or the one given to him at the beginning, at least Starr will think that Sadek will try his best to restore everything in the book in order to confuse himself. If there is nothing wrong, this book is even the same as the previous one.

He flipped quickly, and the paper recorded the dense content. Those strange or ordinary words and symbols were seen by Star. No matter how Sadek studied Old Billy's signature, I'm afraid he didn't expect Old Billy to leave a mark in his name. I have to say that Sadek's meticulousness has tried almost everything he can think of. So he can only use another method...

Old Billy's name consists of eight letters, and the pronunciation of each letter is also different. According to the custom of Hastan, the short eight letters in his name have six syllables, and the order represented by the letters themselves correspond to the footer at the bottom of the book. In addition, the date on the signature corresponds to the content of that page of the book.

If it's just like this, forget it. Sadek also thought of this... He even followed these marks, but he only got some random and unordered letters. However, what he still didn't expect was that even if he found these, he could not find the information left by Old Billy to Star. Find the number of lines, rows and the first few words in the book from the date. In order to confuse the other party's sight, old Billy deliberately strengthened his habits. That is, every time a stroke is dropped, a little is left at the foot of the letter or number.

This is the habit of almost all alchemists. Many alchemists have such a habit that they like to hold a cowhide scroll handwritten, and then when there is any doubt or sudden inspiration during the experiment, they will write a lot of things on the cowhide scroll handwritten. Therefore, most of the time, their notes are messy and unplanned. Sometimes even the alchemist himself can't tell what he left behind, and it takes a lot of time to think. On the other hand, they prefer to mark a 'point' at the back of all notes as a basis for distinguishing the content.

This habit, as Old Billy's apprentice, naturally knows it clearly. Even this small problem is reflected in his body a lot. Of course, it is also exposed when signing the signature. These seemingly ordinary little problems did not expect to be used by old Billy. What Sadek didn't expect was that in order to make Star believe that the book was indeed made by Old Billy, he even imitated those small dots and never missed one. And all the marked letters are useless!

This method is extremely rare even in the previous life in Star's memory!

Star quickly found eight words, but it didn't go well. After a little thought, he quickly remembered these eight words. Of course, this book also has the next volume.

During this period of time, he also raised his ears high and listened carefully to the movement upstairs.

That's true. Although Star had also found the noise upstairs on the full moon night before, he didn't care at that time. Now once he has a heart, the weak movement will become bigger and bigger in his ears.

In order to verify the previous speculation, Star made a seismograph temporarily. Coupled with the exquisite craftsmanship of the alchemist, it can accurately detect even a little vibration around.

The ripples in the water cup placed on the seismometer became stronger and stronger, and the ripples quickly spread around. Star's eyes did not stay on the water cup all the time. He had more important things. He only has five minutes to do these things.

The dead bones of the undead wizard are still on the ground, and the broken skull has no trace of repair.

Star quickly rummaged through the pile of dead bones. After a skull was opened, he immediately found what he was looking for this time. His left hand wiped the ground and touched his lower right arm with an extremely natural gesture. It looked like a small action that was often made... Then Star took advantage of this short time to quickly open the dark compartment in his right arm and put things in.

Looking at my pocket watch, most of the time has passed. All that was left to do was to finish the work... The book was carefully arranged in its original position, and the seismometer was quickly opened. The cup on the seismometer was also picked up by Star and fell to the ground at will. These are just ordinary water, and Sadek will not notice anything.

However, just as Star had finished everything, his eyes wiped the bones on the ground. Suddenly, a gorgeous red color came into Star's eyes. It was a tooth of the undead wizard, which was unusually bright and dazzling in a pile of yellowish white bone powder. Star frowned slightly... There were some water stains on the tooth, but at this moment, there was a clear smell of medicine in the original fragrant air. With so many drugs and complex materials, Star can't even distinguish them at all.

Thinking of this, my fingers rubbed against the red teeth. A little powder was scraped into the nail.

After doing all this, Star quickly turned the windmill and sat back in place at the same time. At this time, the second just finished the last second. The faint roar upstairs also quietly stopped...

Although he seemed to have entered meditation at this moment, only he knew that the heart in his chest was beating so hard. While finding half of what he left from the old Billy's book, Starr also found that he was unconsciously poisoned! It may not be the case that it is poison. What the undead wizard left can just prove the strangeness in his body... As long as the magic is urged into that thing, his abdomen will be as painful as the sky.

What is that?

Star frowned slightly.
