Chapter 54 Conspiracy

After a while, Star came to his senses.

Hundreds of weapons are placed in this small wooden house, and the handle is inlaid with a rice grain-sized 'Sage Stone' without exception.

Collected all, about the same size as football.

A broad bean-sized 'sage stone' needs the bodies and souls of 360 people, so how many people's bodies does such a big stone need in exchange? Starr only felt that his scalp was numb.

"That vendor!"

Star rushed down the giant tree in a hurry. When he returned to the place, the hawker had already disappeared. Looking at the empty stall, Star felt as if he had stepped into someone else's trap. Someone must have led him to discover all this, and then he didn't want to reveal any secrets, so he chose to kill people. But who is that shadow?

Turning around, Star returned to the wooden house. These 'stones of the sage' must not be left out. Otherwise, the alchemists in Hastan will be crazy about this!

There is nothing else in the wooden house, not even a bed that can usually sleep. Cole stood behind him, with a large lump in his chest, which looked terrible.

"Cole, do you see what that shadow is?" Star called the flesh and blood puppet. Can you draw it for me?"

"Yes, my lord."

Cole replied habitually and quickly scratched randomly on the wooden floor. The pattern is so messy that I can hardly see what it is. But **'s Star still found a trace from it - a square hammer.

A square hammer is a common weapon used by dwarves. Every dwarf will get a square hammer from the hands of his elders when he is born. Whether it is as a weapon or as a tool for hitting iron, dwarves will use it. Comparing the depression in Cole's chest, it happened to be a square mark.

"Is it the old dwarf Rogge?" Star frowned.

At this time, he had no desire to visit the city at all, and Star hurried back to Billy's residence. If all this is a conspiracy, then someone must be pushing themselves here behind the scenes. And the biggest possibility is Billy, the mechanic.

The sound of 'ping-pong' in the stone house is the sound of old Billy beating metal. Mechanical limbs are a rigorous craft. Although it can use alchemy to make a rough model, because magic can't penetrate into the metal, it needs to be polished and modified by hand.

Sta rudely pushed the door open, and Billy was waving his hammer with his bare arms. The metal in his hand has been polished into the shape of an arm, the joints and interior are hollow, and the hammer and steam engine have not been installed.

"What's the matter?" Billy left his hazel, and he found a trace of murder in Star's eyebrows.

"Old Billy, look at the wound on my puppet."

Stammer silently let Cole step forward. The puppet's chest was sunken with two palm-sized areas, and the broken ribs were ferociously exposed from the wound. Almost all the smelly internal organs are exposed to the air. Billy frowned, and he kept leaning at the wound, as if he were looking for something.

"It's the hammer of the dwarf!" Billy pulled out a curved brown hair from Cole's chest. As soon as the fingertips rubbed, the ignited flame quickly swallowed up the wisp of hair. The air was suddenly filled with the smell of burnt feathers, with a slight smell of sulfur.

"There can't be anything wrong with dwarves who deal with mineral veins all year round, and their hair will smell of sulfur." Billy looked at Star and asked puzzledly, "You just clashed with the dwarf?"

"Look what I found?" Starr took out a stone from his arms and handed it to Billy. I found an epee with the 'Stone of the Wise Man' at the hawker. According to the inquiry, I learned that the maker of the epee was the old dwarf Rogge. When I was looking for his house, Cole was attacked by a shadow. He jumped into the river and fled, and I didn't stop him. But at the same time, I found hundreds of 'Sage Stones' of this size in Rogge's house!"

"What?" There was an undisguised shock on Billy's face. What about those stones?

"I ruined it!"

"That's good." As soon as I heard that the remaining 'Stone of the Sage' was destroyed. Billy breathed a long sigh of relief. Star has been staring at the other party. Billy's expression can't be pretended. He should know nothing about it. If these 'stones of the sage' are exposed, then the whole continent will fall into chaos! First of all, the alchemist is likely to be baptized by the 'black storm' like 300 years ago. And the alchemists who have a large number of 'stones of the sages' will definitely rise up to resist. Whether the alchemy guild will be erased from human society or not, it will make Bimon, who has been staring at him, find the opportunity to attack!"

Starkton took a deep breath. He didn't expect that the 'Stone of the Sage' could cause such a huge disaster.

The last stone was crushed by Billy. The red stone quickly lost its original color and turned into a pool of gray powder.

"Well, Star. Where do you think Rogge got the manufacturing method of the 'Sage Stone'? Billy frowned.

Dihas! Starr's first reaction was him. Because he once left Star a sentence, "Without my permission, I can only teach the manufacturing process of the 'Sage Stone'." But who is this person with the same name as Death? Why does he keep teaching this taboo everywhere?

Star remembered the situation in the castle. At that time, it was Sadek who pulled out Dihas for himself. If nothing unexpected happens, there must be an alchemist in the city who knows the taboo and knows the mysterious man. But in the capital of Azeroth, there are not only thousands of alchemists. How long will it take to look for them one by one? Star shook his head. He thought it was better not to disclose the matter about Dihas, otherwise it would also set off a turbulent wave among the alchemists.

There is a silence in the stone house. This lapse made Star realize that the danger had approached him again.

The shadow's escape has completely cut off the clues of this matter. If you want to investigate from house to house in the capital of Azeroth, it is likely that the gains are not worth the losses.

A fierce roar outside the house interrupted the short silence.

As the sun sets, the slums have long been unable to enjoy the afterglow of the sunset. Under the layers of buildings, large shadows shrouded the grave bag in front of the stone house, making the place of death on the opposite side more and more horrible. The two rushed out of the door and were immediately scared by what happened in front of them.

The half-slope-shaped grave bag is rapidly bulging, and the roar is also coming from there. Under the eyes of the two, the loess stained with moss and weeds was quickly pushed open from below, and the huge cracks were like a big mouth of a monster that could devouring people.

A yellowed white bone suddenly drilled out of the crack. With the unique sound of bone friction, several skeletons quickly and flexibly came out of the grave bag. And then, all the graves nearby are bulging crazily, as if those who have already died no longer want to enjoy the loneliness of hell and struggle to get out of the arms of death.

If ordinary people see this scene. Not to mention that he was scared to death, at least his legs and feet were sore and his limbs trembled. And Star and Billy just frowned. Star has seen a large number of undead in the Death Forest, and these toy-like skeletons have no intimidation to him at all. And Billy is also a well-informed alchemist, and he doesn't care about this scene at all.

Then, several fresh grave bags were pushed away.

Several mercenaries who were not completely rotten struggled to climb out of the ground, and their movements seemed slightly slow. The rotten body was covered with white and fat maggots, which kept gushing out of the wound and then got in again.

"Let's talk about it!" I didn't expect you to catch up here!"

There was no tension on Star's face. In his memory, the only guy who can summon the undead is the undead wizard he met in the castle. Obviously, this is also his handwriting. He looked disdainfully at the undead who had surrounded the stone house and showed disdainful eyes. Although these 'toys' are numerous, they are almost insignificant to him!

A cluster of flames ignited on Billy's right hand, and the jumping light reflected the figure behind the skeleton.

"Servant, I can't imagine you!" The wizard opened his mouth and spoke, and his voice was still as low and hoarse as before, like a male duck stuck in his neck.

'Boom!'

Almost the moment the wizard opened his mouth, the flame in Billy's hand rose in an instant and gushed out quickly with his dancing right hand. Like a dragon roaring in the air, it opened its mouth and devoured all the undead who dared to stop it.

"Can't we talk about the past?"

A thick bone wall was erected in front of the wizard. The fire dragon hit its head, and its huge body with fierce flames almost lit up the whole night that was about to fade. Star, who is far away in the stone house, can feel this unusually hot temperature and even melt himself!

The fire dragon has passed, and the bone wall has been burned out. At least a dozen skeletons were swallowed up under the surge of the fire dragon.

Originally, the star-like lights in the capital of Azeroth went out in an instant, and the quiet city suddenly became noisy. All the people shouted loudly in the face of the sudden darkness. Star nodded, and Billy's spell was indeed achieved through 'exchange', which also indirectly proved that he did not have the 'stone of the sage'.

Because the defense was broken by the fire dragon, the skeleton soldiers who had stood in place were ordered by the wizard to quickly move their dull limbs, waved the weapons in their hands, and reduced the whole encirclement in half.

Star smiled bitterly and couldn't laugh at the skeletons who were eager to try. He wondered why the wizard was so confident. Did he really think that he could do it by relying on these guys? Star didn't say anything. He casually picked up the long sword and split the two nearest skeletons. The sharp blade cut on the fragile bone, directly splitting the skeleton into a pile of scattered bones.

However, the undead are an emotionless creature, who does not know fear and death, and has no fear and retreat. Facing Star, who was desperate like death, the other skeletons still surged up one after another.

Star frowned and continued to wave the sword and cut the skeleton. These wooden things could not get close to the stone house at all.

The wizard was not idle. Although the skeletons were smashed one by one by one by Star, he was also constantly chanting spells. The broken bones scattered on the ground were actually reassembled and turned into a new skeleton with their magic drive!

And more undead crawled out of the grave bag. Star even doubted how many mercenaries Billy had killed.

It was not until the wizard stopped the spell that the skeletons stopped moving forward. However, walking ahead was the mercenary who was killed by Billy not long ago. With a ferocious smile, he drilled out of the sea of dead bones and quickly walked to the stone house.
