Belak was shocked as soon as he stepped into the Atomic Research Institute, and there was a big monster squatting next to Lucian, a large lizard covered with transparent and beautiful scales?
"Dragon?" It didn't take a few seconds for Belak to recognize the most well-known magical creature, and as a high-level magician, he quickly thought of the dragon student who was the storm master, so he let down his guard.
Avery raised his head and snorted proudly, ignoring Belak.
Lucian saw that Afreth, who had just flattered and flattered him like a puppy, suddenly became reserved and arrogant, and suddenly shook his head amused: "Bellack, do you have any preliminary investigation results?"
"According to the preliminary investigation, there is no suspicion that the magicians who sent the cursed items are all gifts purchased at the 'Loban's shop', and after selling this batch of goods, the 'Luoban's shop' has not been opened. Belak took out the record book and formally informed "Commissioner Evans" of the preliminary investigation.
Although high-level magicians cannot arbitrarily invade the brain, read memories, and weave memories like the Revenant Lord, and can only extract the most impressive part of the other party's memories, it does not prevent them from using dream-casting and other illusions to interrogate the answers from the mouths of middle and low-level magicians.
"I don't know if it's dead or alive? That is, I don't know whether 'Luoban' was silenced after being used, or whether he escaped early as a mastermind...... Lucian is more inclined to the latter, otherwise some links in the entire assassination process will have to rely on luck, which does not meet the premise of careful planning.
Belak turned the page of the record book and affirmed Lucian's thoughts: "It was preliminarily determined that Robin was fully involved in the whole process, because according to the memories of those magicians, they were all encouraged to buy common potions in this alchemy shop they frequented, and then they came up with the idea of entering the atomic research institute to do things, so they followed Loban's suggestion and took advantage of the opportunity to discover electrons and open the door to the microscopic world to congratulate you and build a good relationship.
The custom of the council and the kingdom of Holm is not to accept congratulatory gifts, but when you visit, you can bring some small gifts with you.
"Robin is indeed very suspicious, the purpose is very clear, is there any information about him?" Lucian held his right elbow with his left hand and rubbed his chin with his right hand, waiting for more information.
Africe next to him gradually became too lazy to maintain his image, and slowly lay on the ground, his eyes opening and closing, and he almost fell asleep.
Belak turned the page again and recorded: "Loban, a native of Rentat in the Kingdom of Holm, has lived here since his grandfather, was discovered with magical talent at the age of twelve, sent to the 'Alinge' magic school for training, graduated with relatively good grades, and was successfully promoted to official magician four years later, specializing in light and darkness, astrology, elemental and alchemical magic. Not long after becoming an intermediate magician, his soul was severely damaged and 'mutilated' during an adventure, and there was no way to improve his magic level, and he was not good at arcane research, so he opened an alchemy shop in Alinge."
"He has a withdrawn and silent personality, is single, has no children, his parents have passed away, his relatives have basically no contact, and he has few friends, but according to the survey, in the past five years, Luo Ban's personality has improved, and his mood has become more peaceful. He disappeared two days ago, probably escaped early, and there are no clues for the time being. I initially suspect that he has been developed into the Night Watch team."
"Is there no other direction of investigation?" Lucian frowned slightly, as soon as Luoban disappeared, the whole thing seemed to be over?
Belak maintained a meticulous and solemn attitude: "We are still investigating where Robin purchased or obtained special materials, and may be able to catch more spies."
"Although this assassination is over, the Affairs Committee is still not worried about your safety, Commissioner Evans, so I will serve as your bodyguard for three months and pass through the most dangerous period. When you are in Allinge, you are free to move without thinking about me, I am only responsible for inspecting the environment and objects, but if Commissioner Evans wants to leave Allinge, it is best to tell me the itinerary, and I will report to the committee and follow the protection."
"Okay." Lucian nodded slightly, the attitude of the Affairs Committee was quite good.
As Belak checked the other items in the office, Avery jumped up and looked at Lucian flatteringly with translucent amber pupils: "I'm better than him! I can also be a guard! As long as you give me a beautiful Holm crown ring, I can sign a ten-year contract to sell myself!" The contract I signed last time has been completed, don't worry about other issues, sign me, boss!"
"I remember you once said that if you give you a Holm crown ring, you can sign a contract of sale for a hundred years." Lucian teased it amusedly.
Averis was stunned, his amber eyes rolling: "Really? Then I must have just woken up! Boss, you will soon have a few Holm Crown Rings, as well as Immortal Throne Amulet, Ice and Snow Medal, Silver Moon Medal......" As he said, a suspicious liquid flowed out of the corner of its mouth, and he quickly raised his claw to wipe it, "Wouldn't it be a good deal to take one out and hire me, a genius dragon who can fight, play, make experimental materials, and be a chef? I'll get a lot!"
"This is all honor, it is your own honor, how can I take it out to hire you?" Lucian said "earnestly", "And they all always have high-level magic, which is very useful to me, and it is the safest to wear on my body."
"Can they be as powerful as me? I can do a lot of advanced magic and can fight hand-to-hand!" Afris tried his best to promote himself, "Especially the magic of the mind, spirit, and soul realms, I am very good at it!"
"No, this is an honor, unless I become an archmage or legendary magician, and these reward items only have collectible value, I can consider lending them to you for two or three hundred years." Lucian was tempted by a "bad check".
Two or three hundred years? Afrith's eyes lit up, as a little dragon that has only been in possession for decades, it feels that it has already taken possession of it, and it can be borrowed again after borrowing it, anyway, the item is in its own hands!
It coughed and pretended to say deeply: "Even if you can become an archmage, it will be many years later, this promise has no value at all, am I like such a stupid dragon?"
This guy learned all of Fernando's idioms.
"I didn't hire you for nothing, I will pay you a salary every month." Lucian is now quite "rich", the consumption of experimental materials and spellcasting practice can be borne by the Atomic Research Institute, and Jin Kunla's monthly dividend is already close to 3,000, which can fully meet his needs for buying potions, exchanging magic, and borrowing books, or even more than enough.
At the same time, after becoming a high-level arcanist, Lucian was able to receive a total of 380 arcane points from the council, and the elemental will had to give 300, plus the 1,500 arcane points per month of the arcane review committee, which was comparable to most high-level magicians.
Moreover, Lucian is about to win a number of "grand prizes", and there is no need to refine and purchase magic items for the time being, so even if you hire a dragon, you can save a sum of money for the preparation of high-level ceremonies and the construction of magic towers in the future.
"I'm very expensive." Averis emphasized, then stretched out his bright red tongue and licked the back of Lucian's hand with moderate force, "Boss, how much are you going to pay?"
"Two thousand gold in a month, when I don't go out and don't need you to make experimental materials, you have absolute freedom and can continue to earn other people's shiny gold coins." Lucian's tone was full of temptation.
"What else can you do? When you become an archmage or a legendary magician, can you still borrow your Holm Crown Ring, Immortal Throne, Silver Moon Medal, and Ice and Snow Medal to 'play'?" Afrith's translucent eyes sparkled, and he suddenly dragged a piece of parchment from under his belly:
"Boss, let's sign for a hundred years!"
Lucian was very "satisfied", two thousand gold tales could hire a dragon with seven rings at the level of illusion, which was really a good deal! So he asked casually: "Afreth, can you use arcane points as a salary?" This is mainly because he is worried about Africe as a dragon. He definitely prefers shiny coins, gems, etc.
"Arcane point? Of course no problem! I can buy my favorite gems and crystals by myself!" Avery magically took out a badge with seven black rings from under his belly, and at the same time looked at Lucian with a slight doubt, "Don't you like arcane points that are easy to trade and easy to carry?"
You are indeed a dragon that has escaped from low-level interests, and Lucian feels "despised".
After signing the "Centennial Contract" in duplicate, Averis licked the parchment with his tongue, carefully and happily folded it up, stuffed it under his belly, and then said in a clear and immature voice: "Boss, I'll go and finish the last contract first."
"Aren't you done it yet?" Lucian looked helplessly at Avery and patted his ass as he prepared to leave.
"It's coming soon, yes, five days, five days at most!" Avery "blinked", waved his paws, and ran away without a trace.
Lucian rubbed his chin and stood there thoughtfully.
…………
Three days later.
Lucian received a notice from the Elemental Will to ask him to go to the Royal Magic Tower of Holm for a meeting to discuss the Crown Award, and at the same time gave a way to transfer with the help of His Excellency Hathaway's half-plane.
"Commissioner Evans, to ensure your safety, I must accompany you." Belak kept his duty.
Lucian had no objection, nodded, and took Belak into the branch magic tower of the Elemental Will in Alinge, reached the top floor, and activated the corresponding magic circle.
After the dark light flickered and he felt severely dizzy, Lucian and Belak appeared on a land that seemed to be surrounded by a deep starry sky, and the shining stars seemed to be dyed in various colors, just like different kinds of elements.
This land of mountains is undulating, green, yellow, red, and gold, full of many elemental life.
Not far away is the Tower of Babel extending into the starry sky, with countless magic runes circulating on it, which is the magic tower of Hathaway, the "ruler of elements".
Without wasting time enjoying the scenery of the half plane, Lucian led Belak around to the plane magic circle on the other side of the Magic Tower, recited a spell, and stimulated the light, and the two quickly disappeared.
Rentat, on the top floor of the Royal Magic Tower of Holm, Lucian and Belak appeared.
