Chapter 2638 Mayfly World (38)

It was not until they sat down at the dining table that Schiller realized that the news Matt wanted to tell him was related to the Sandman.

Previously, they suspected that the Sandman had been kidnapped, and they also found a strange invisible man, and initially suspected that the Sandman and the kidnapper might also have a cooperative relationship, and Schiller designed a plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

It was also very simple to execute. It was known that the person who got the mysterious invisible cloak was an ignorant teenager. The other party had gone from being penniless to suddenly gaining such a powerful power. In addition to satisfying his vanity, what he wanted most was more powerful power.

Or the two are the same thing. Only by gaining more powerful power can the infinitely expanding vanity be satisfied.

Although the invisible cloak can allow him to do some petty thefts, he certainly can't do anything big with only the ability to be invisible. Otherwise, he would not just go to the women's bathhouse to peek or steal things. If he could, who wouldn't want to sit under Kingpin's ass?

Taking advantage of his greed for power, Schiller made up a series of stories and cast a lot of bait, just to lure him to a designated place and find out what was going on.

Schiller didn't know where the invisible cloak came from, because this character was too marginalized and a very small character, so there was no need to remember his origin story so clearly.

But this did not prevent Schiller from making up a reasonable origin story for the cloak. Anyway, the Supreme Sorcerer also had a cloak. If you say that the two of them are brothers, no one can refute it, except the cloak itself.

Fortunately, the Supreme Sorcerer's cloak could not speak, and he didn't know how outrageous the origin story Schiller had made up for him was. Anyway, one day many years ago, a god gave two cloaks, one of which was left in the mysterious magic holy land of Kamar-Taj, and the other fell into the folk and disappeared.

Both cloaks have extremely powerful power. If the two can be combined into one, they will have even more power like gods.

Anyway, it's still the same story of Yi Tian Tu Long being invincible in the world. The story is a little old, but teenagers really believe it.

According to Matt's investigation, there has been no trace of mysterious invisible people in Manhattan for at least half a month, and at the same time, some abnormalities have occurred in the New York Temple.

About a week ago, the mages of the New York Temple discovered some unusual energy fluctuations, which were a bit familiar, but because they were too inconspicuous, they were regarded as the remains of the mages' experiments and no one cared.

But just one day after the energy was discovered, the New York Temple was stolen, but the important magic items were not lost. Instead, the library was turned into a mess, and several geographical atlases were taken away.

The stolen books were basically about Kamar-Taj, and there were some relatively secret secrets in them. The great mages immediately felt a sense of crisis and thought that someone might be plotting against Kamar-Taj, so they immediately reported to Kamar-Taj.

The one who received the report was the butler Wang, but there are basically more than a dozen such reports every year. Basically, all the demons and monsters in the world are targeting Kamar-Taj, but so far no one has been able to break into the headquarters.

Strange has been busy with the village's poverty alleviation work recently, and Wang didn't want to bother him with such things, so he just routinely strengthened the patrols around Kamar-Taj and didn't care about it anymore.

Schiller calculated the time, and he estimated that the kid had taken the bait. I believe that it won't be long before Kamar-Taj will have good news.

Unexpectedly, Schiller was called back by Strange before he finished his meal. After returning, he found that not only Strange was there, but also the village chief of the village below and the county magistrate who had met twice before.

After chatting for a while, Schiller learned that there were no mysterious cases in Brooklyn, but instead a mysterious invisible man suddenly committed crimes in the Sherpa town at the foot of the mountain, which has led to more than a dozen thefts.

Schiller didn't understand at first whether the invisible man was coming for Kamar-Taj. He stole so much atlas information, so he couldn't be unable to find the way, right?

Then Schiller suddenly remembered something that was often ignored by most people, and he himself had also ignored it, that is, altitude sickness.

Everyone living in the Himalayas acted as if nothing had happened, which made it too easy to ignore this matter. It is very likely that this kid couldn't find the way, but couldn't climb up at all.

The Sherpa town at the foot of the mountain is located at an altitude of about 4,000 meters. Although it sounds very high, it is only the starting point of the plateau. As long as you don't fly into Tibet, but take the train to slowly adapt, it won't be a big deal.

But according to the lack of common sense of American teenagers, Schiller thinks that this kid is likely to have come here by plane, and he probably lay down as soon as he came.

And from 4,000 meters up, every 500 meters is a threshold, and even after 5,000 meters, every 200 meters is like a natural chasm. As for going higher, it is no longer a matter of physical fitness, but more or less talent.

As for the villagers who live at 6,000 to 7,000 meters, they have been here since birth and have basically never left. They are naturally very adaptable. Not to mention the mages. Without this willpower, they can't be mages at all.

But asking an ordinary person with only invisibility to climb to such a high place and adapt to the strong altitude sickness during the climb is a bit too much to ask.

Parker Robbins, the target that Schiller targeted, had no experience in plateau operations and had not undergone military training. He was just an ordinary Brooklyn street thug. Even if he got the route map to Kamar-Taj, he could not climb up.

Where else could he go if he could not climb up? Of course, he could return the same way, but the altitude of about 4,000 meters was not comfortable. If he came by plane and lay down as soon as he landed, he would have to rest for at least a week, and he might not be able to go anywhere during this period.

Schiller believed that it was very likely that Robbins was unwilling to give up and felt that he could climb higher after taking a break. Maybe he could reach Kamar-Taj by lying down, so he stayed in the town below and committed crimes everywhere by relying on his invisibility ability.

And because this town is close to Kamar-Taj, most of the mysterious events will be mistakenly believed to be related to Kamar-Taj, so the village chief and the county chief came to ask if anything had slipped out recently.

Strange righteously told them that it was absolutely impossible for students to do it, and students of Kamar-Taj could not steal things.

The village chief and the county chief did not suspect that it was the students who stole the things. They just wanted to ask if it was possible that some spiritual beasts had escaped, and if they asked someone to catch them, would it have any impact.

Now not only did they want to catch them, but Strange also wanted to go. He wanted to see who dared to make trouble for him.

Schiller remained silent and pretended not to know. After all, he really didn't think that Robbins could be so bad that he couldn't even survive the altitude sickness. He was fishing, but the fish drowned himself.

Schiller wanted to go over to see the situation, but Pamela stopped him and wanted to tell him about the progress of the experiment. Schiller went with her and didn't care about catching people anymore.

What Pamela wanted to talk about was actually the cultivation of magic herbs. She held a pile of information and said to Schiller: "Now we can basically confirm that the principle is correct. It is indeed possible to transform the properties of plant cells by injecting weak magic energy into them, so as to extend their lifespan and enhance their magic affinity."

"There are two main problems now. First, we cannot use manual methods to infuse energy. This has been mentioned before because the yield is too low. The current research direction is the radiation machine made by Stark."

"Second, and also a newly discovered problem, is that the soil is not good." Pamela snapped her fingers and said: "We have to inject energy into the plant during its growth process, but if the plant is still planted on ordinary land, the energy will dissipate very quickly."

"Don't you say that you should use continuous radiation to infuse it? Isn't it enough to just keep infusing it?" Schiller asked.

"That's too wasteful." Pamela said helplessly: "Although the magic energy in this universe is still sufficient, it can't be wasted like this. Isn't it equivalent to throwing money away?"

"Can't it be recycled?"

"This is a research direction, but there is no clue so far. It is a bit troublesome to recycle in natural soil. We are studying how to use radiation to make the soil store energy and provide it to plants for absorption."

"This is good." Schiller said: "Plant growth is always inseparable from soil, water and sunlight. It is much better to think of ways to manipulate these three than to force energy into plants."

"This is the problem. We have tried it. Water doesn't work. Although it can bring energy into the plant body, the conversion efficiency is too low and uncontrollable. Sunlight doesn't work either. Magic light will cause plants to mutate, which is beneficial to my research on cabbage 0."

Pamela touched her chin and thought: "We are conducting different soil analysis to see which kind of soil has a stronger affinity with magic. I think the soil that is originally fertile and suitable for planting is better in this regard. It should also perform well..."

"Does it have to be planted on the soil?" Schiller said, "If there are other things with strong magic affinity, can't plants be planted there?"

"Theoretically, it's not possible. You can't just get a piece of magic metal and force plants to grow from it, right? This is unscientific, uh, I mean not magical."

Pamela waved her hand impatiently and said, "It is precisely because of the stability of plants that they can become carriers of magic and be eaten and absorbed by humans without causing poisoning or cell infection."

"If you want to transform a plant that can grow on metal, first of all, its stability will be destroyed. What can grow may not necessarily be a plant, and it is hard to say what the consequences will be after being eaten by people."

"Metal is still a bit exaggerated." Schiller said, "Can't we compromise? For example, some things can grow plants, which are not usually used for plant cultivation..."

Pamela looked at Schiller and asked tentatively, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, but it can't be known to others. You have to keep it secret for me." Schiller said mysteriously.

Pamela curled her lips and said, "Have I kept enough secrets for you?"

Schiller stared at her and said, "Are those fertilizers good?"

Pamela suddenly realized what he was talking about. She took a breath and said, "You don't want to plant plants on people, do you??"
