Chapter 104 Chapter 102 The Hand of the Mage

"Ask me where I can live safely? You've asked the right person. If you want to buy a car or a house, you can come to me. I'll give you an internal discount." Lucy was particularly enthusiastic about Zhuang Xuteng, just like every real estate salesperson. "Did you receive a bonus from the PCPD and want to improve your accommodation conditions?"

"I have this idea, but it's more because I heard that someone was asking about me." Zhuang Xuteng looked at Lucy with a smile, but his words did not make people feel happy: "I thought I would hear a warning from you."

"I think you misunderstood - you won't hear a warning from me." Lucy waved her hand and said, "If someone asks me about you, I will let him die. If the middleman does not have this kind of courage and ability, it is best not to do this business. But there is also a situation that I really can't do anything to the other party and can't kill him. At that time, I will try my best to escape. If one day you can't find me, it's best to start running away immediately."

Zhuang Xuteng was stunned. He didn't expect Lucy to be so tough, realistic and frank. "So, Viper won't come looking for you?"

"Not yet. I think his middleman Fatty D has warned him." Lucy thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Ge Gongdao introduced you to me with this in mind, to see if I can use my rules to deal with Viper?"

"Brother Dao just wants to do it himself, and won't use someone else."

"I think so too." Lucy chuckled behind her mask, then asked, "Let's talk about the house. What kind do you want to rent?"

"Safe, comfortable, and undisturbed." Zhuang Xuteng had thought of his requirements before he came to see Lucy: "Multiple escape routes, probably the same as yours."

"Learn from me? You really know how to make requests." Lucy shook her head and said, "That kind of house is not economical for you, I don't recommend it. , but I can let you try it. Two thousand euros a month, and the price will not be raised for you within four months. You must keep the facilities inside unchanged and keep it clean. If you agree, you can take the key now. "

Zhuang Xuteng thought about it and said, "If the Viper gang doesn't know how to find me and then smash the place, I won't compensate you."

Lucy waved her hand and said, "Sly boy, you are obviously squeezing me! Okay, I think you have a bright future and can make money for me, so I won't let anyone break the rules to trouble you. Just live there with peace of mind, and don't forget to prepare the money. "

The single apartment located in the suburbs has a living area of ​​only 80 square meters. Even if it comes with a hidden garage, the interior is also very warm. The price of 2,000 euros a month is a bit too expensive. Zhuang Xuteng's first impression was like this, until he found the house manual and read it, he realized that there was another mystery here.

It is not 80 square meters, but 80+180 square meters. Enter the mezzanine from the hidden passage under the bathroom bathtub, and walk down one floor to reach the real residence, which is a 180-square-meter single apartment that connects two rooms. In name, he lives on the 17th floor, but in fact he lives on the 15th floor. This feeling is very interesting.

This is a dark room in an apartment building. From the corridor outside, these are two old residences that cannot be rented out. No one would have thought that there is a different world inside. The whole room is closed with good soundproof panels, the windows cannot be opened and are completely blocked. Equipment that can monitor the rooms upstairs is installed, and the situation outside the door can also be known. In addition to leaving from the main door on the 17th floor, you can choose to stagger the floors and leave from the 15th floor in an emergency evacuation. You can also leave from the balcony using the fire descent pipe, or even open the cover behind the bedroom closet, drill a secret passage, and directly enter the elevator shaft...

The instructions say that the buffer zone at the bottom of the elevator shaft can lead to the city's comprehensive underground system, that is, evacuate from the sewer.

In addition to flying out, Zhuang Xuteng can no longer think of a more comprehensive, safer, and more accessible residence.

Since the window cannot be opened, it is a bit stuffy here. It will be much better after using the fresh air circulation system, but it will be a little noisy. Zhuang Xuteng let it run for an hour, and then he turned it off when he felt it was almost done, and then he settled down here with peace of mind. Water, electricity, and heating are all available, and there is no problem with taking a shower or cooking, and the sound insulation facilities are complete, which is perfect for continuing tennis training.

"It's not a trial stay at all!" Zhuang Xuteng gradually understood Lucy's intentions: "For a person who needs a sense of security, once you move in and understand its advantages, you can't feel at ease if you don't buy this place!"

Lucy bought an entire building and converted the interior into a maze-like form. Zhuang Xuteng now lives in a miniature and youth version. With a monthly rent of 2,000 euros, he bought a safe and comfortable place, and he couldn't ask for more. The four-month trial period can reduce the heat caused by the 11-member group incident on the one hand, and observe Viper's subsequent actions on the other hand, so as to make targeted responses. I have to say that Lucy's arrangement is very considerate.

From fainting from using the bone spear in the morning to now that everything is arranged properly, Zhuang Xuteng can finally calm down and meditate peacefully, and go to the 72 stone pillars hall to find the lich master to ask about the situation.

"I'm waiting for you!" Before Zhuang Xuteng could speak, the lich master jumped out by himself, and the pink skull chased Zhuang Xuteng and said: "You cast a spell, you really cast a spell! Do you understand what this means?"

"Bone spear is a spell, of course I am casting a spell!"

"No, before you used the bone spear technique to imitate the technique of a pistol, and used shadow to cast spells; but now you use your own mana to cast spells! The reason why you fainted is because your mana has been exhausted. This Very rare in novice spellcasters."

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head, jumped on one leg and walked up to the throne to sit down, and then said: "I don't feel any difference at all when I use shadow to cast spells and use mana to cast spells."

"Excessive use of magic will drain your soul and kill you, but Shadow Cong will not."

"I have always used the same method to perform the bone spear technique. I have not chosen shadow followers or mana."

"That's where it gets interesting! I think the adaptive shadow implant in your arm is doing its job, allowing you to switch from shadow casting to mana casting. If this is correct, then you can try to cast my spell, That is necromancy."

Master Lich believes that the "shadow followers" in this world will absorb energy from two sources. One is the user's own physical fitness, and the other is absorbed from similar devices around them, especially those connected to the power grid or other energy sources. The system's shadow slave. Physical fitness accounts for the main part, but those shadow followers that don't bite, such as grenades controlled by shadow followers, can still work by absorbing other equipment.

Zhuang Xuteng's physical condition is quite special. In addition to being an ordinary person in this world, he also has a Lich Master living in his body, and the latter is a source of mana. For a long time, Zhuang Xuteng was unable to use the magic power of the Lich Master, and the spells composed of magic power could not take effect. They had to take a long way around and use the shadow follower rune to "simulate" the spell effect, that is, use Zhuang Xuteng's body as a shadow follower, and the Lich Master is a living shadow follower. The two are combined into a pistol, and using the bone spear technique is equivalent to giving The pistol gives the order to fire.

Going around and around, everything built in the past revolved around shadow energy, and the source of everything was physical quality. Therefore, Zhuang Xuteng used the Bone Spear Technique before, which was essentially a shadow follower pistol with excellent adaptability. It didn't bite very much, but it would bite anyway. But after installing the arm adaptation shadow slave implant, it seems that a certain threshold has been exceeded. The steps of turning around are no longer needed. Zhuang Xuteng directly uses his own magic power to drive the bone spear. His body will not hurt, and the risk has been transferred to Mind and spirit level.

"This is obviously more dangerous!" Zhuang Xuteng shook his head repeatedly and said: "My arm hurts. I have to suppress the inhalation of mist, or relax my muscles and stop shooting. If my brain gets dizzy, I may faint directly and there is no way to save it!" This is not good, very bad!”

"That's because you don't know how to control the amount of mana, but I know! What you are facing is a problem that all mage apprentices will encounter. I have dozens of ways to solve it." The Lich Master looked very excited. , said: "Finally...finally...my knowledge can be put to use!"

"Congratulations." Zhuang Xuteng clapped his hands perfunctorily and said, "You are finally useful."

"Why aren't you excited at all? After learning my spell, you will become very powerful!"

"I'm not as smart as you, and it took you three hundred years to learn spells. People in your world have an average life span of five hundred years, while mine only lasts seventy or eighty years. And you've also calculated the time on both sides. It’s about the same, so I’ll be dead before I learn how to extend my life.”

The Lich Master thought for a while and nodded slowly: "Well, that's true. The magic of extending life is quite difficult. You can learn it if you are brave enough."

Zhuang Xuteng continued: "In order to improve my intelligence, I also learned some basics. Among the basic spells, what spell is more direct, simpler and more effective than firing a shot? You yourself admit that if the bone spear is not improved, it will not be able to do anything at all. It's not as good as the Shadow Clan Pistol, and the Shadow Clan Guns we saw were only for police use. There are also weapons for military use, company use, and specially made weapons. I tried hard to learn them just to improve my intelligence. Awesome, spending money to buy better weapons is the right way.”

"It can't be said that. There is indeed no killing spell that is more efficient than the shadow slave gun, but what about other categories? Can you use the shadow slave device to make the dead speak? Can you control zombies? Can you let ghosts detect for you? ?”

It's not that Zhuang Xuteng is ignorant, he just doesn't know. He became interested as soon as he heard it: "Can necromancy be used to do this?"

"Of course! As long as you improve your intelligence and practice according to the methods I teach you, you can learn these spells. When you get stronger and your mana reserve grows, I will teach you more powerful spells, and you can give I created a body to get rid of my current state, and then you will be safe!" Master Lich's eyes flickered, and he continued to persuade Zhuang Xuteng.

"That's a good idea. First tell me how to avoid passing out after casting too many spells, okay?"
