Chapter 3 Failed Night Battle
The moon is bright, the stars are bright, but the night they make up is extremely quiet.
Ishubar is a desert area and it will be very hot during the day, but at night, sand that cannot retain heat will make Ishubar cold.
However, this is nothing to Taoist Yi who has been in Ishubar for a year. Besides, the red gem in his hand made him feel no cold.
It was not that the red gem had warm heat that could help Yi Dao Ren resist the cold, but that Yi Dao Ren felt that after he held it, a burning feeling developed from the depths of his heart, making him ignore the coldness of Yishubar at night.
The Sage Stone is the name of that red gem!
After holding the Sage Stone, Taoist Yi truly realized the power of the national alchemist, even more powerful!
He can start alchemy without refining materials. Taoist Yi suddenly feels like he can go anywhere in the world.
Of course, he also knew that this was just an illusion that he suddenly gained more powerful power.
"Once I lose it, I will become a second-rate alchemist that no one looks down upon..." He closed his spreading palm and held the Sage Stone tightly in his palm. Taoist Yi looked at the building illuminated by the moonlight in the distance, and his eyes became cold, just like the night wind blowing around him, making people feel cold.
"Click, click..." The sound of fine footsteps sounded behind Yi Daoren. Then, Zolf J. Kimbrey walked out of the moonlight with an elegant and reserved smile and slowly came to Yi Daoren.
“Are you ready?”
"Of course." Looking at the Ishbar people's residence, which was looming under the moonlight in the distance, like a wild giant beast, Taoist Yi lowered his head and closed his hands, and prayed in a low voice: "I hope your faith can be saved with you!"
When Yi Dao Ren prayed devoutly, Zolf J. Kimbrey did not move any action, but just watched Yi Dao Ren prayed quietly. After Yi Dao Ren finished his prayer, he said lightly: "Every time I see you pray, I feel like I see a saint. But unfortunately, you are not a saint, but a butcher."
"Is that true?" Inlaid the Sage Stone into the groove of the specially made alchemy gloves, a smile appeared on Yi Dao Ren's face, but unlike Zolf J. Kimbrey's elegant and reservedness, Yi Dao Ren was a little more casual: "The position determines that I am a butcher, why should I disobey?"
Looking at the smile on Yi Daoren's face, Zolf J. Kimbrey's eyes flashed for a moment. After thinking for a while, he asked, "You don't seem to resist killing at all."
A strange light flashed in Yi Daoren's eyes and said lightly: "As long as you don't like it, why should you resist?"
"Don't you expect redemption?" A look of surprise appeared on Zolf J. Kimbrey's face.
"Reden?" Not only was there a look of surprise on Zolf J. Kimbrey's face, but after Zolf J. Kimbrey's question asked, a look of surprise also appeared on Yi Daoren's face, but more of it was speechless and ridiculous: "Do I need redemption? Why do you think I'm looking forward to redemption?"
"Don't you need redemption?" Zolf j. Kimbrey raised his eyebrows.
After blinking a few times, Yi Dao Ren turned his head and looked at the building in the distance, and smiled and said, "If you see from my prayers that I long for redemption, then I can only say you are wrong. I don't need redemption, I can carry all my decisions!"
"Even if you are a human butcher here?"
"Even if it's a meaningless endless massacre here!" Looking at the buildings in the distance with a little slim look, Taoist Yi whispered: "I don't want to die, I want to survive!"
As long as Dao Ren Yi, who had been sent to the battlefield of Ishubar, dared to escape privately, the sanctions waiting for him must be the military headquarters. At that time, Dao Ren Yi could not use his false identity as a national alchemist, and he could only be shot as a deserter!
"Just to live?" The surprise in Zolf J. Kimbrey's eyes turned into an unspeakable light.
With a curl of his mouth, Yi Daoren smiled and said, "You can understand this way. Because people who don't even have life have no future."
"That's true." The complexity in his eyes gradually faded away, leaving only a trace of interest. Zolf J. Kimbrey laughed twice like a night owl and said, "What are you looking forward to in the future?"
"Of course it's a life full of bright sunshine." After responding for granted, Yi Daoren walked towards the Ishbar people's residence in the distance, as if he was not interested in chatting with Zolf J. Kimbrey.
"The sun is bright..." After repeating the adjective in a low voice, Zolf J. Kimbrey looked at the back of Taoist Yi gradually moving away and whispered: "After knowing what the Sage Stone is, will there be bright sunshine in your world?"
The Stone of the Sage is made of living people!
And to refine a sage stone, the number of people required is not one or two!
Slowly lurking behind a sleepy night watchman, Dao Ren Yi nodded to Zolf J. Kimbrey, who was almost the same situation in the distance, closed his hands gently and rushed to the night watchman and covered his mouth.
"Um!" A red light flashed, and the night watchman had only time to make a slight sound of Shen Yin, and then widened his eyes.
Confusion and pain, and the sleepiness that cannot be faded, are the messages revealed by those wide eyes.
After holding the Night Watcher and falling down slowly, letting him not make any unnecessary sounds, Taoist Yi pulled his hand back from the Night Watcher's mouth.
Suddenly, a burnt smell of meat immediately gushed out of the night watchman's mouth.
The Night Watcher died. The cause of death was the high heat caused by the alchemy of the ashes without any cost. When Yi Daoren covered the Night Watcher's mouth, he poured into his body from his throat. In an instant, the organs in his body were roasted, thus ending his life!
On the other hand, Zolf J. Kimbrey also solved the Night Watcher he was responsible for. It was different from the method Yi Daoist used alchemy to solve it. He used a dagger to separate the Night Watcher's neck.
There is no way to do this. Zolf J. Kimbrey's Red Lotus Alchemy is good at creating explosions. The noise caused by that is too great. If it is solved with alchemy like Yi Daoren, then they will be discovered before they can penetrate.
At that time, I had to attack hard.
Both Zolf J. Kimbrey and Yi Dao Ren knew that although they had the Sage Stone, they were also mortals. Once they faced more enemies, alchemy would not help them!
Although the Sage Stone will save them the materials that are equivalent to exchange and will also make their alchemy more powerful, there is a prerequisite... They can use alchemy!
In addition to preparing materials for equivalent exchange in advance, spiritual power is also needed as the introduction!
While activating the construction of alchemy power, the alchemist needs to use his will to pull the power of the earth's crust when it moves and the power of the volcanic eruption to form a formation. This will is the spiritual power.
The Sage Stone cannot omit the consumption of mental power when executing alchemy. At most, it is consumed less because it does not require extra energy to connect the energy of the earth's crust.
Yi Daoren knew this limitation best. In addition to knowledge, the most important thing about his gap with national alchemists is spiritual power.
Yi Daoren’s spiritual power is at most half as strong as that of national alchemists!
This is due to the various stimulations after going to the battlefield. If it were a year ago, it might only be about one-third.
He raised his hand and made a tactical gesture, signaling Zolf j. Kimbrey to arrange the Alchemy of Red Lotus and to prepare for the Yishubar people's base at one time, Taoist Yi suddenly found a person walking slowly towards his position. He couldn't help but change his gesture, signaling Zolf j. Kimbrey to hide for a while, and wait for him to kill this person first.
"Fortunately, I came here. If I went to Kimbrey and smelled the blood, something would definitely happen." I secretly thanked that when I was using alchemy to kill people, Dao Ren Yi held the body of the night watchman who was lying on the ground and leaned against the wall. After making a slept cover, he also carefully hid behind the wall.
When the visitor approached, he saw the body of the night watchman leaning against the wall, and couldn't help but shouted: "Larry, why are you sleeping... and the smell of barbecue! Don't you know how dangerous it is now? You dare to barbecue..."
The visitor said a few words, but when he saw that the night watchman's body did not respond, he felt something was wrong.
I looked at the night watchman carefully and suddenly found that the night watchman's chest was not fluctuating!
"Swoosh!"
"Bili!"
Amid the sound of wind and similar sounds of wire leakage when the clothes move rapidly, a pair of red ominous lights suddenly poked out from behind the wall and poked towards the head of the person!
When you see the red light, people will know what it means... It is the refinement reaction of the alchemist who has been killing his tribe recently when performing alchemy!
There is no time to hide, but there is no need to hide. The person who comes is not an ordinary person, but a devout monk who believes in the God of Ishubar and constantly tempers himself for the God of Ishubar!
"Bang!"
The heart leg, as fast as a desert poisonous scorpion, suddenly kicked out, and directly kicked the attacker away, but the monk didn't care about chasing him, but covered his face and started wailing in pain.
"Uh"
Pain and hoarse screams spread endlessly in the darkness, instantly causing Ishbar's residence to come alive like a sleeping wild beast!
"Damn!" Both Yi Dao Ren and Zolf J. Kimbrey cursed inwardly, especially Yi Dao Ren.
The cold light that popped out of his eyes was almost frozen in the air around him!
However, although he was cursing in secret, he felt that there seemed to be some problems with the internal organs after being kicked in his abdomen, Taoist Yi knew that the most urgent task was to kill the monk.
Without hesitation, Taoist Yi directly put his hands together to launch the alchemy of ashes, creating a ball of ashes with dark red light floating towards the monk.
After the dark red ash appeared, the temperature around instantly soared!
That's because the temperature of the ash refined through alchemy is not much inferior to that of the burning flames. And because of the existence of the ash, the harm to people and creatures is more terrifying than that of a simple flame!
Just now, Taoist Yi planned to cover the monk's mouth like the night watchman before and pour the ashes directly into his body. This would not only make the movement and stillness, but also cause the effect of instant killing. However, he did not expect that the man was a powerful monk with a strong skill. He kicked him away without waiting for his hand to approach, so that he could only rush the refined hot ashes to the monk's face in a hurry.
Unfortunately, the monk was really amazing. Not only did he kick him away, but he also jumped backward with the reaction force that kicked his body as soon as the ashes approached, avoiding most of the ashes. It did not cause the effect of inhaling the ashes and causing the five internal burns. It was just that the face was slightly stained, and he was only seriously burned.
"Bang!" The yellow sand flew over, pouring it on the scorching ashes close to the monk like rain, and completely obscuring Taoist Yi's vision!
After a while, when Taoist Yi returned to his sight, he saw the monk quickly running to the Ishbar residence who had already come back!
But it turned out that the monk also saw the danger of the ashes refined by Taoist Yi, and directly kicked up the yellow sand on the ground as a shield to block the ashes, and then retreated decisively!
He bit his teeth hard, and the annoyed Taoist Yi raised his foot and was about to chase after him.
But as soon as he raised his feet, he felt weak all over and his eyes turned dark, and he didn't even see the instructions Zolf J. Kimbrey gave to him.
Not long after, Zolf J. Kimbrey, who was frowning, came to Yi Dao Ren who was half kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"
"The spleen ruptured, and the liver seemed to have suffered considerable damage... Ishubar's monk is indeed strong and he is a tough guy!" He raised his head and revealed a pale and ugly face like gold paper under the moonlight. Taoist Yi smiled bitterly and said, "What should I do next?"
"What else can I do?" Turning his head and looking at the Ishbar people's base with various lights on, Zolf J. Kimbrey narrowed his eyes, looked at the dynamics for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Retreat now! Can you still leave by yourself?"
“Somewhat difficult.”
"Is that true?" After receiving the reply, Zolf J. Kimbrey helped Yi Dao Ren without hesitation and smiled: "Then owe me a favor, remember to pay it back to me in the future!"
"I owe you a favor...that's better than dying here! Please trouble you!"
Taoist Yi doesn’t want to owe Zolf J. Kimbrey favors because Zolf J. Kimbrey is too dangerous! But does he have any choice now?
At the Isbar resident, the monk who covered his face immediately started to make noise after returning.
"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with Larry and the others?" An old monk separated the crowd and walked to the monk. After looking at the injuries on the monk's face, he frowned: "This kind of injury... have you met an alchemist?"
"Master..." The monk pulled the burned corner of his mouth and said in pain: "Larry and the others are dead!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" A young voice sounded from the crowd, and then a little thin and not as rough as an ordinary Ishbar man. He squeezed out like a weak scholar. After seeing the monk's miserable face, his face changed wildly: "Brother! Are you okay? Why are you like this?"
After taking two steps, the young man ran to Scar for a check and said in a deep voice: "Hold on, I'll help you treat it right away!"
After saying that, the young man was about to squat down, but was stopped by the old monk.
"Go to my room first!" After that, the old monk pulled the monk and the young man away from the crowd. But before leaving, he did not forget to whisper: "Please pay attention, an alchemist has come! Notify the elders and the others!"
After arriving at the room of the old monk, the young man took out a piece of chalk and squatted on the ground to draw a circle, and then connected it with five-pointed stars... to form a formation!
"Crack!"
The bright blue's refinement reaction spread rapidly to the monk's body, causing the monk's face to slowly repair!
Chapter completed!
