Early the next morning.
Lei Luo came to the backyard of the tavern under the pumpkin vine, leaned against the wooden fence, and studied the silver candle.
"Look at that two-legged thing, he's sitting down next to us!"
"It stinks, you're so close to me, you don't want to eat me, do you?"
"Don't worry, you are so ugly, if you want to eat, eat me first, look at how tender and juicy I am..."
Lei Luo took a look at these pumpkins. Although he didn't hear them talking, it was a kind of vague consciousness that he could understand. their vague consciousness.
As for this silver candle, it was a top-quality magic tool left among Prince Ling's relics.
The best magic props have corresponding requirements for users, and this silver candle has a requirement for users that a sealed magic prop carrier must be replaced.
The "Book of Seals" used to hold Gulan Shayan, Gulan Shayan has been taken out by Lei Luo, and it is a carrier of sealed objects that can be used for replacement.
but.
Even though Lei Luo already has a certain understanding of alchemy because of the relationship between star core alchemy, he doesn't know anything about this kind of alchemy that replaces the carrier, so he needs to study it carefully.
"Wow Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka!"
The herbaceous ginseng elf kept flipping its two fibrous roots, chasing a group of newly hatched little yellow chickens, trotting under the pumpkin vines.
chirp chirp chirp...
The chicks screamed.
The ginseng elf excitedly said, "Even if your throat is broken, no one can save you, wow!"
"Brother Bai, slow down!"
Lili was a little afraid of small animals, so she could only stay beside Lei Luo. Before she knew it, three leaves had grown on her head.
time flies.
"Jie jie jie jie jie!"
The eerie laughter came suddenly, and Lei Luo, who was concentrating on studying the silver candle, looked over with a serious expression.
At such a close distance, I didn't even notice anything!
A skinny old man was squatting on the ground with his back to himself, watching Xiao Bai chasing a group of chickens and running around, laughing hoarsely.
"you are?"
Lei Luo put away the silver candle and gave it to the other party with a cautious look.
The old man turned his head slowly.
There were only the last few gray and white hairs left on the top of his head, and his large and small bubbly eyes, like a dead fish, seemed unable to blink, and looked straight at Lei Luo. From his eyes, Lei Luo seemed to see When it came to the endless darkness, the abyss-like depth, the thrilling feeling that the soul was about to be pulled into it, I was suddenly covered in cold sweat, and my light silver spiritual power gathered.
The jagged teeth were exposed with the old man's strange smile, very much like the image of the devil in the church's Bible.
hiss! ! !
"you are… "
When Lei Luo saw the image of the old man, he immediately took a deep breath.
Such a familiar image...
I must not be dreaming! !
"Your spiritual power is interesting."
After the old man praised, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the black smoke beside Lei Luo. The black smoke turned into a distorted human head in the old man's hands, which seemed to be a shadow of Prince Ling. He kept struggling, but always escaped. I can't see the skinny old palm.
"The special spiritual power of raising mutated resentful spirits? And so many? Interesting, interesting! Jie Jie Jie Jie!"
With a hoarse and grotesque laugh, the old man let go of his hand, and the wraith fled in horror.
One large and one small dead fish bubbled their eyes, rolled their eyelids with difficulty, and the old man looked at Lei Luo.
"Recognize me?"
Gulp.
Lei Luo swallowed, and said with difficulty: "Dear Academician Corleone!"
"It's the great Academician Corleone!!"
The old man corrected Lei Luo's honorific title, turned his head again, and looked at the scene where Xiaobai carefreely chased the little yellow chicken. His thin and old face showed a playful expression again, just because his image was too terrifying. Laughing does look a little hideous.
"Run faster, yes, I can catch up to it in no time, grab it, that's it! Jie Jie, Jie Jie Jie Jie!"
This old monster is the image of Academician Corleone, the dark sealer, on the corridor of the teaching building of the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences!
Lei Luo took a deep breath and stood aside cautiously.
It's a real old monster!
One of the old monsters who lived for hundreds of years, sealed an ancient dragon, established a biological specimen research institute, and stood at the pinnacle of Gran Scholars!
Trying to keep himself calm, his heart beat hard with "gudong" and "gudong", and Lei Luo looked at the harmonious and beautiful scene of Xiaobai giggling and chasing the little yellow chicken.
Who would have thought that he would meet a great royal academician in this way.
"Do you like small animals too?"
Lei Lu tried his best to be more natural and kind.
Lili is a little afraid of strangers.
"I like it very much!"
hehe.
Lei Luo smiled as a matter of course, and was about to speak up according to the lines he had planned, but the old monster said: "After all, they are indispensable every day, jie jie jie jie jie."
Well
Lei Luo's smile froze, a little stiff.
The old monster added: "Of course, I'm only interested in those little things that can't talk. For those little things that can talk, I prefer to soak them in Fallon embalming solution."
"Hahaha, master, you are joking."
Lei Luo smiled a little reluctantly.
The old monster stood up from the ground, looking at Lei Luo with one large and one small black dead fish eyes.
"It seems that your backlash hasn't been too long. If you find a way to remedy it as soon as possible, you can recover. If you delay it for a long time, you should be like me. If you don't care, it doesn't matter, Jie Jie Jie Jie!"
"Also ask the master to enlighten me!"
Lei Luo hurriedly bowed.
In the past two days, although Lei Luo has found three ways to restore his appearance, and has recovered a little after nourishment, if he can take this opportunity to get in touch with this old monster, it will benefit him no matter what Infinity, of course Lei Luo would not refuse.
"It just so happens that I'm going to visit an old thing of the troll clan. It should have a potion that can help you. I can help you, but as a price, because of some special reasons, my actions are very inconvenient. Here is a The task needs to be completed by a little guy with special mental power, are you interested?"
"You're right, shouldn't it be the task of investigating the source of the mutation of the Blood Demon Flower?"
Lei Luo asked tentatively.
"Jie Jie Jie Jie, you guessed it right."
…
ten days later.
"The Hengduan Mountains are really vast."
At this moment, although Lei Luo obtained a bottle of vitality potion from the troll old witch doctor, his appearance remained at the age of twenty-six or seven, and he was not completely recovered. Immature and young.
This is also impossible.
The unintended consequences of the experiment burned Lei Luo's life for decades in an instant. Scholars must pay a corresponding price for every step of exploration, which is also part of the conservation rule.
Surrounded by steep mountain walls and dense vegetation.
Deep in the Hengduan Mountains, Lei Luo and Corleone sat opposite each other, a pile of firewood was raised between the two, and a goat thigh was roasting.
Along the way, Lei Luo finally realized that these old monsters can't live without them.
Academician Corleone, like Lei Luo now, is a pure meat eater.
Of course, Lei Luo's carnivorism is due to the talent of the plant elves. Eating other plants is equivalent to eating the same kind. He will not consider it unless it is a last resort, and this old monster is purely a hobby.
"The area here is about seven times that of the Furnace Mountains. In addition to the large groups sheltered by several temples, there are more than 20 medium-sized groups dedicated to guardians. There are countless small-scale groups. Three gathering places of alien races in the Land of Curtain."
Corleone looked at the crispy yellow skin of the mutton, and smiled strangely. He took out some secret spices and sprinkled some on it, sticking to the fat on the skin, giving off a burst of fragrance.
"Master, if we rushed there so slowly, if those mercenary groups were the first to investigate the results, wouldn't it be a waste of time in the end?"
Lei Luo swallowed, and asked out his doubts.
"This task was originally issued by me, do you think it will be very simple?"
Well
Lei Luo opened his mouth in shock.
The old monster said again: "I didn't expect you to be that little guy's disciple, Jie Jie Jie Jie, so all these years, he has been competing with another little guy in the academy for the honorary seat of vice president that Vladik retired, why? How is it?"
Lei Luo was ashamed.
Instructor Gu Bo became a little guy when he got to the other party's mouth.
"It's Master An Liya who created the academic "Alienated Psychicism". After one and a half years of graduation assessment, the academy church will make the final decision."
"Whether you can ascend to the position of vice president and obtain research resources, so as to step into the seat of Royal Academician, is your mentor's last chance."
At this moment.
In the forest in the distance, there seemed to be bursts of horn sounds, and Lei Luo, who was staring at the barbecue, was stunned.
"War? In this deep mountain?"
Xiaobai, who was holding jelly beans on Lei Luo's shoulder, was quick-witted, and instantly regained his energy.
"War? Let's rob copper coins!!"
This guy has been deeply fascinated by copper coins since he saw the power of Lei Luo exchanging copper coins for butterscotch. Lei Luo also gave Xiaobai a copper coin very unkindly, as a precious gift to witness the friendship.
Sticking out its tongue, the ginseng elf looks like a hungry puppy with bright eyes.
"Wow, Kakaka, when I save up to 10 copper coins, I will buy 30 pieces of butterscotch at one time, and I can eat my fill with Lili!"
Lei Luo took out the map and looked at it for a while.
"Twilight elves?"
Lei Luo shook his head. He didn't know much about this group, and it seemed to be relatively closed. It should be just a small group here, and there are countless small groups like the Hengduan Mountains.
"Go and have a look!"
The old monster seemed to be interested, and his smile was a little scary.
"I seem to smell a brand new specimen..."
Lei Luo felt a chill in his heart.
The Biological Specimen Research Institute opened by this old monster is a specimen exhibition center for human beings, and it is the largest, most complex, and largest specimen bank in the major duchies. It is conceivable that this old guy is crazy about collecting biological specimens.
However, the troll witch doctor actually said that this old monster had broken through again
Is it true that Royal Academicians are not the end of scholars' exploration, or that there are hierarchical differences among Royal Academicians, but it is difficult for low-level scholars to understand this gap
To this day, Lei Luo can still recall the shocked expression of the troll old witch doctor.
It seems that these top scholars are hiding secrets that are unknown to some lower scholars...
