Charman in the courtyard naturally didn't know what Shar was doing. After watching Shar leave the courtyard, he turned to look at Haas and said, "Haas, follow me and help me continue to identify things."
"Yes." Haas followed Xia Man and entered the secret room with the new casting materials given by Richard.
After entering the secret room, Haas was busy and prepared various equipment more skillfully than before. Xia Man nodded lightly and started to use his hands.
The process was similar to last time. Xiaman first took a small amount of powder with a long-handled medicine spoon, dissolved it in water, then divided it into ten parts and processed them separately.
The first copy, the second copy, the third copy...
But after processing for a while, Xia Man encountered a problem, that is, after processing many materials, the phenomena obtained were very different from what he expected, and the conclusions drawn were naturally ridiculous - according to the results, this would be a kind of A volatile reef mixed with human urine, breast milk, animal blood and ink.
Looking at the black powder crystals in the small iron box, Xia Man refused to believe that this thing was a reef.
What reefs are reflective and volatile
Soon, Xiaman realized that this might be a spell-casting material that far exceeded his ability to identify.
In other words, Richard really didn't lie, this is indeed a better casting material.
But the terrible thing is that in Richard's evaluation, this casting material is only average, far from the best.
So what would the best casting material look like? How amazing does it have to be? Who would be left behind? Who should use it
"Jialan City, necromancer, casting materials! Maybe it's just as imagined." Xia Man said to himself, his expression became solemn.
He now had enough reason to report it to his superiors.
Without hesitation, Charman and Haas walked out of the secret room. Soon they got on the carriage, left the courtyard, and headed somewhere in the city.
…
At midnight.
In Delan City, in the basement of a mansion.
Xia Man stood in the corner with some restraint, looking at a figure not far away who was busy.
It was a middle-aged male wizard in his forties, wearing a close-fitting black robe, walking quickly between the many tables.
I saw the other party taking out a little powder from the small iron box that Xia Man brought, dividing it into several portions, and processing them differently.
Some dissolve, some burn, and some mix with other liquids. It seems to be more complex and cumbersome than what Xiaman has done before, but the black-robed wizard is very skilled, and his movements are almost without any pause. It can be said to be smooth and smooth, and it is like a visual enjoyment to the eyes.
"Gudu, Gudu, Gudu..."
The last processed sample was added to the glass, mixed with the purple powder, and eventually turned into a pink liquid. After a series of bubbles appeared, it gradually calmed down and turned colorless.
After the middle-aged male wizard saw it, he stopped, thought for a while, and walked towards a wall in the basement.
There were several tall bookshelves standing here. The middle-aged male wizard took down several heavy books from them, placed them on the table, and quickly read through them.
After reading through it, the middle-aged male wizard confirmed something, turned around and looked at Xia Man, and spoke out.
"Xiaman, your previous guess is indeed correct." The middle-aged male wizard said, "The material you brought does exceed your current identification level. According to my test, if it is correct, this material should be ' Devil's Horn Powder'."
"'Devil horn powder'?" Charman asked cautiously, "Mr. Yosav, what is this?"
"How to explain it." The middle-aged male wizard named Joseph pondered for a moment and organized his words. "The main component of this material is devil's mushroom, a plant that only grows in extremely harsh environments. In addition to deviled mushrooms, several other materials are needed to make them, which are extremely precious.
This kind of material does not have much effect for ordinary wizards. At most, it can slightly increase the power of dark energy spells when casting spells.
But it's different for wizards who are proficient in necromancy. If the opponent gets it, the power of the spell can be more than doubled, and it will have a special curse effect. "
Having said this, Joseph paused and then said: "Xiaman, you just told me: you got this material from two wizards, who came from Jialan City.
I remember correctly, a big event happened in Jialan City a few days ago, and an undead wizard who was identified as a dangerous target escaped there.
Many people from our organization wanted to deal with each other, but an accident occurred and they were all killed. The subsequent investigation showed no results. In this regard, there is a speculation in the organization that someone may be helping the necromancer to escape, or even helping the necromancer to kill our people. Considering the source of this material, it is probably not a simple coincidence. "
Joseph's expression straightened, he looked at Xiaman and said, "Xiaman, please tell me in detail the entire process of obtaining this material."
"Yes." After listening to Joseph's words, the old Xiaman straightened up subconsciously and said, "When it started, a clerk in my shop received the consignment goods from the other party. Because the other party's conditions were rather weird, The guy just reported it to me..."
After a long while, Xia Man finished speaking. Joseph listened thoughtfully and whispered: "So, the truth of the matter may be this: As guessed, there is indeed someone in Jialan City who tried to kill us. People help the necromancer escape. And the person who takes action is the necromancer's teacher or other relatives.
After all, the Necromancer's growth rate is far beyond our expectations, and it is likely that someone has been helping him. Maybe, the necromancer is just a pawn, and the people who help the necromancer try to hide their identities have other purposes. In this case, we have no choice but to take precautions.
Fortunately, the other party is not foolproof, and we have some information. That was where he temporarily settled in Jialan. He left some spellcasting materials behind, which were discovered by two wizards passing by and brought to us. If he could study all the spell-casting materials, he might be able to have a clear understanding of his strength. "
"That's true. It's precisely because I think so that I bother you so late, Mr. Joseph." Xia Man said, "But there is a problem now. We only got two kinds of casting materials, and they are relatively poor." Two kinds of - those two Jialan wizards have more and better spell-casting materials in their hands. If you want to really understand the situation, you need to further contact the other party."
"So, it is necessary for me to meet them?"
"indeed."
"Okay, I'm also interested in these two Jialan wizards and want to see who they are." Joseph made a decision.
"Then I will help you make arrangements." Xia Man said.
"Yeah." Joseph nodded.
"Then what time is more suitable?" Xia Man asked.
"The sooner the better."
"Understood."
