The next day, Lord Darkmoon Lord announced that he was unwell again and refused to see any guests.
The so-called physical discomfort was caused by a night of passion and indulgence after reunion after a long absence. Now Athena is sleeping soundly on the bed in the bedroom, even the little maid and fairy Miss Long with special physique are no exception.
As the saying goes, there are only exhausted cattle, but no plowed fields. But what is very unscientific is that Chen Rui is very energetic now, and he woke up early in the morning. This is naturally the wonderful effect of the first passive attribute of "Double Cultivation". It seems to be a little faster than usual.
Chen Rui didn't disturb the dreams of the three beloved women. He quietly got up, got dressed, and told the lamp spirit guards not to disturb them. Then, he opened the gate of the starry sky and came to the capital of fallen angels.
Although Isabella's matter has not been completely resolved due to Olypheus' father, but with Xue Dalaihua, her life is no longer worrying, and now Chen Rui is going to the teacher Tetnis.
Now Feng Saka (Skye) stepped onto the stage and became the president of the Fallen Angel Empire Artisan Alliance, attracting a large number of alchemists. After receiving the true biography of Tetnis and the black potion provided by Chen Rui, Aldas' knowledge of pharmacy improved by leaps and bounds. With the support of Xi Ya, he also became the president of the Pharmacists' Union.
Tetnis has been living in seclusion in a house in the capital of the fallen angels. He does research and experiments in the house on weekdays. The Fengsaka couple often bring Ariane and Eve to visit him. Arda Si also came to consult and visit from time to time, and his life was leisurely and carefree—if there was not the looming life-and-death battle.
"You're finally back!" The old man was not as calm as a few girls. When he saw Chen Rui appearing in front of him, he immediately shouted excitedly. The content was nothing more than accusing someone of being lecherous, incompetent, and wasteful. Alchemy and more.
Chen Rui wanted to explain, but unfortunately he couldn't get in, so he had to let the old man scold him first.
The old man reprimanded him for a while, seeing that Chen Rui looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and angrily threw over a thin book: "All the old man's experience in making utensils is in it, and there is also a book of potions. I gave Aldas what I learned, and you can ask him for reference if you need it. If you think these are useless, find a more solid tool maker and pass them on."
Chen Rui saw that this book should have been newly written, and it had condensed his whole life's painstaking efforts. Although the old man scolded fiercely, he was wholeheartedly thinking about the two disciples, and this kind of behavior... was obviously explaining the funeral.
Chen Rui accepted the notebook with a smile, and then took out a sword and put it on the table. This sword is very ordinary. According to its rank, it barely reached the excellence level, but it faintly reveals a strange spirituality.
The old man frowned, his eyes suddenly became dignified, and he carefully picked up the sword. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, his hand trembled slightly: "This sword...was made by you?"
"No," Chen Rui shook his head, "I went this time...uh, the sea of death, and I ran into a reclusive master craftsman."
A cold light flashed in Tetnis's eyes: "What does this master look like? Is he a big devil who is blind in one eye?"
"No, it's a dark elf. He gave me a lot of inspiration. This sword came from him." This trip to the surface world was too sensational, so Chen Rui didn't explain it very clearly, but said He explained in detail the experience of making tools obtained from the two masters in the Emerald Forest.
Tetnis was fascinated by this, and murmured to himself: "'Tool making is to create life'? Life..."
The old man seemed to be insane, and he ignored Chen Rui, and compared the sword, he began to "jingling" on the forging table set up in the yard.
The embryonic form of a sword is gradually taking shape. From Chen Rui's point of view, this sword embryo can be forged into a legendary weapon, but the old man throws it aside angrily: "That's not right!"
"How can such abstruse truth be expressed in such a clumsy way, how is it possible!"
"wrong again!"
"..."
The old man's expression was alternately happy and sometimes angry. He knocked for a while, then stopped to look at the sword, thought for a while, and then started knocking again.
Chen Rui knew that this was the manifestation of conflict bottlenecks. He had the same experience in the refining room of the super system, and even almost fell into madness, destroying everything. Tetnis is a quasi-grandmaster who has inherited knowledge for thousands of years, and his own accumulation is also extremely strong. He is only one step away from the master, and what he lacks is only epiphany.
As long as you really understand it, you can pierce this layer of window paper and enter a whole new realm.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed. Apart from forging, Tetnis doesn't even care about sleep. When he is hungry and thirsty, he picks up what Chen Rui put on the table to eat, and doesn't say a word to others. that sword.
Chen Rui stayed with Tetnis all the time, and even helped the old man block Sally and Ardas who came to visit.
On the afternoon of the third day, Tetnis suddenly threw the sword that had been precious to his life into the furnace, closed his eyes, and allowed the sword from the master's hand to melt step by step into a liquid state.
After a while, Tetnis's eyes opened suddenly, the iron embryo was solidified, refined, knocked into shape... a series of processes were completed in one go.
Soon, a brand new sword appeared in front of his eyes. This sword was completely different from Bernd's rough style, full of delicate and exquisite feeling, but the same thing, they all exuded a hint of spirituality.
Although this sword is obviously not as spiritual as the one that was destroyed, spirituality is spirituality, like... the germ of life.
"Haha!" Tetnis laughed wildly, contrary to his usual stinky face. Although he lost a sword made by the master, he gained more.
"Congratulations, teacher! Finally, I really touched the edge of the master." Chen Rui sighed in his heart. Unlike him using the "birth" rule of the super system to comprehend the way of life in alchemy, Tetnis just broke and stood up, and really jumped out. The original framework that restricted itself has found its own way. As the so-called three thousand roads lead to the same goal.
"The edge of 'a trace'?" Tetnis took a deep look at Chen Rui, "Honestly speaking, do you also..."
"Hey, I'm far worse than the teacher." Chen Rui scratched his head, and didn't deny it. In fact, he spent hundreds of days in the super system to understand, while Tetnis only took three days. Of course, Tetnis Tennis's accumulation is not what Chen Rui can compare at present.
There was a light of surprise in Tetnis's eyes, and he was more happy than his own success. He didn't have much time left, and even if he touched the edge of the master, he was still not the opponent of that formidable enemy. Chen Rui was able to reach a level similar to his at such an age. This understanding and talent can be called a top genius. As long as he takes time, he will definitely become the most dazzling alchemy master in the history of the devil world.
There is such a successor, even if he falls in this alchemy competition, he can die with a smile.
At this moment, Tetnis suddenly sensed something, and Chen Rui also glanced at the gate. There was a knock on the door, and before they could open the door, two more figures had already appeared in the yard. The protective magic circle at the door seemed to be non-existent to these two people.
Both of them were wearing black cloaks, looking very mysterious.
One of the figures gave a strange laugh: "Tethnis, you are in a good mood."
Race: Great Demon (mutation).
Comprehensive strength evaluation: S.
Physique S-, strength S, spirit S, speed S-.
Analysis: fire attribute. Risk level: low.
Now the strength of the devil emperor level is no longer a threat in Chen Rui's eyes, and what really caught his attention was another figure.
Race: Lich.
Comprehensive strength evaluation: S+.
Physique: A-, strength A-, spirit S+, speed A-.
Analysis: Doppelgänger. Risk level: general.
The Lich at the peak of the Devil Emperor is not surprising. What surprised Chen Rui secretly was the "clone" shown by the analysis - in the place of hatred in the sea of death, Chen Rui once encountered the Lich King Glorios, Glorios He is a powerhouse at the national level. Because his soul is restricted by the power of the holy dragon, he can only appear as a clone of a demon emperor. In the end, the dark elemental king and Chen Rui jointly destroyed the phylactery.
Now, another corpse witch at the peak of the devil emperor appeared in front of Chen Rui, so the body of this avatar is very likely to be a strong man at the national level! Thinking of this, Chen Rui's eyes suddenly became serious.
"Saman!" Tetnis gritted his teeth and said, Chen Rui raised his brows: This cloaked man turned out to be the old enemy that the teacher will face, the alchemist Saman who deceived his master and exterminated his ancestors more than 9,000 years ago.
Saman took off the cloak on his head, he looked like a middle-aged man, he was blind in one eye, and there were several scars on his face, making him look very hideous.
"Don't you welcome me?" Saman's voice was hoarse: "I came here specially to visit you, take good care of yourself, your life is mine... By the way, you can still have it for three months. "
Saman is a disciple of Rosenbach, the master of the demon world. In order to covet the inheritance crystal that Rosenbach and another pharmacy master worked together, he killed Daur, the winner of the inheritance assessment, and severely injured the teacher Rosenbach. Rosenbach activated a special contract in the inheritance crystal, dividing the inheritance brand into two halves, which fell on Daur and Saman respectively, making them the successors of the crystal at the same time.
Under the power of the contract, Daur was resurrected and could not be killed by Saman. Only by using the rules to win the other party's life, could he completely get rid of the contract and obtain the entire inheritance. If he killed the other party by other means, he could not obtain the complete inheritance. There will also be terrible backlash. This kind of imprint is very miraculous, and it can be passed down from generation to generation through inheritance during the contract period of 10,000 years.
Not only that, Rosenbach did not hesitate to use the burning life as a medium to cast the most powerful curse on Saman. The most important part of the curse is that Saman's brand cannot be passed on. In other words, as long as Saman fails once, he will really die. As a result, the two sides started a ten-thousand-year branding battle. However, Saman didn't know what adventure happened, miraculously remained undefeated and survived until now. Tetnis's teacher was defeated by Saman and died. This time, the competition with Tetnis will be ten thousand years. the last time.
As long as this time passes, Saman will completely get rid of the shackles of the contract and the curse.
