Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3998 Starry Sky Water
Angel pulled a ring from his pocket.

It was this ring that was making the ticking sound.

"Hermit Ring..." Angel muttered in a low voice: "Why would the hermit contact me suddenly?"

With doubts, Angel input 1 point of energy into the ring.

The next second, a holographic projection screen appeared in front of him.

In the center of the screen is an icon with a wide-brimmed hat covering half of the face, which is also the logo of the Hermit Order.

At this moment, the logo is faintly beating, showing its presence.

Angel controlled a point of energy to touch the logo, and the blank face on the logo slowly transformed into a woman with green hair. Looking closely, it was the holographic projection of Xiaolu.

Xiaolu was still dressed the same way as before, with her cloud-like green hair easily tied up with a long hairpin, a gauze shawl on, and her favorite green long skirt.

After seeing Angel, Xiaolu puffed out the smoke in his mouth, put the long pipe on his waist, and then said, "Mr. Angel, long time no see."

Angel: "Not for long... But then again, I don't need to spend any energy points to maintain the call this time, right?"

Xiaolu smiled and said, "Of course not. If we contact you, we will pay for the energy points."

After a pause, Xiaolu seemed to notice that Angel was in the background of the theater, and she asked cautiously, "Am I disturbing you, sir?"

"No, I'm just resting here. I'm not watching any movies." Angel swept the Hermit Ring around the theater so they could see it more clearly.

As soon as Xiaolu saw the size, layout, and scattered people in the center of the theater, he immediately determined where Ingres was.

"Sir at the Liberty Theatre?"

Angel nodded and made up an excuse: "I came to watch The Joker, waiting for the next show to start. What's the matter with you guys suddenly looking for me?"

"It turned out to be Mr. Jinx's The Clown King. This play is also my favorite." After saying that, Xiaolu said, "I didn't expect that the Liberty Theater also showed The Clown King. If I have time, I would also like to go and see it."

"Do you need me to buy a ticket for the lady?" Angel said with a smile.

Xiaolu: "We can't trouble our distinguished member with this kind of thing. If I want to go and see it, I will buy the ticket myself."

Xiaolu exchanged a few pleasantries and then got to the point: "Sir, it's like this. The president came back today. After learning that there is a distinguished member like you, he wanted to meet you."

"President?"

Xiaolu nodded: "Yes, President Lira. The president was out on business and just came back today."

Angel knew about Lila. When he went to the Hermit Order in stealth, he hypnotized Karen and learned a lot of things.

Among them was the president of the Hermit Order, Lira.

She is a powerful magician and the little witch's sister.

However, according to Karen, Lira rarely returned to the club and was always looking for people outside. Recently, he even went to a suburban town near Modern City to recruit people.

For this reason, Angel thought that Lila was similar to the "Wind Knight" and "Treasure Knight" among the Seven Knights. Although their names were mentioned in the copy, they would not actually appear in the current copy and were background characters in the copy.

But now, according to Xiaolu, the lira is back?
Is this also the mechanism of the power of the fairyland? When the characters in the real world return to the modern city, will they also be updated in the dungeon at the same time?
If this is the case, then perhaps the Wind Knight and Treasure Knight will also appear one by one in the future?

Angel didn't think much about it and said, "President, did you come back just to see me?"

Xiaolu smiled and said, "There is one more thing. After President Lira learned that you have the ability of the golden scissors, he wanted you to help remove a page of the book. The price will definitely satisfy you, whether it is Modern Coins or Member Points. Of course, meeting you is also very important."

Angel realized: "If I remove the pages, there's no problem. But forget about Modern Coins or membership points."

"What does the gentleman want?" Xiaolu wondered.

Angel: "I want the Hermit to check two things for me."

Xiaolu thought that Angel would ask for some rare items, such as book pages. But if it was just to inquire about intelligence, it would be relatively simple for them.

"Of course, sir, what do you want to inquire about? Maybe our intelligence database has already recorded it~"

Xiaolu is still very confident about the Hermit Society's intelligence sources.

Angel: "The first thing is related to the first generation of the underground block pioneer. I learned a piece of information that he and his monster partner once fell into a strange space with colorful black fog... Later, although he escaped, his monster partner also died due to the erosion of abnormal energy."

When Angel talked about the colorful black fog and the abnormal energy erosion, Xiaolu's originally relaxed expression suddenly became serious.

In fact, Angel saw several more shadows behind Xiaolu's holographic projection, who seemed to be watching, but they were not focused and projected.

Obviously, Ingres's story attracted their attention.

This was actually within Angel's expectations. The creation of the Hermit Order was closely related to the "Dark Corner Witch". With their understanding of the Dark Corner, they must have guessed at the first time that the black fog might be ether energy.

How could they not be nervous when etheric energy appeared in the world?

"According to the information I received, that strange space is very dangerous and may endanger the underground district. I hope you can help me investigate and see if you can find any clues about the strange space."

Ingres did not tell Xiaolu all the clues like he did to A-duo. For example, he did not tell her about the painting "White Town".

He asked the Hermits to help, just to add an extra guarantee.

The hermit will have a little witch, and the little witch has all kinds of strange abilities. Maybe she can rely on her abilities to find a strange space.

That's why Ingres entrusted this matter to others.

If it succeeds, it will be a good start; if it fails, he doesn’t care.

Xiaolu: "If what you said is true, then this matter is very dangerous. I suggest you try not to get involved in this kind of thing..."

Angel: "I told you to go find it."

Xiaolu: "...Even if you find it, sir, you still need to be cautious."

Angel made a "reassurance" gesture, and Xiaolu sighed: "Okay, we will find a way to find it, but there are too few clues in this matter, so there may not be any results."

Angel waved his hand: "No problem."

"The second thing is related to a lady named Xidaya..."

Angel briefly explained the matter of Xidaya and asked the Hermit Society to help look up information to see if he could complete the mission "Hidden Crisis" with the help of the Hermit Society.

After all, the Hermit Society is an imported organization, and Xidaya is also related to outsiders. Maybe they have channels to find Xidaya's secrets?
After finishing his story, Ingres made an appointment with Xiaolu to remove the book pages and then hung up the call.

After ending the contact, Angel did not log off immediately, but turned on the God's perspective and looked directly at the base camp of the Deep Underground Black Market Hermits.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze.

Although he entrusted the matter of Xidaya to the Hermit Order, he was also worried that Xidaya might be a member of the Hermit Order...so he had to observe.

After observation, it was determined that the Hermits did not know Xidaya.

After Xiaolu hung up the call, he didn't focus on Xidaya, but discussed the matter of "searching for the strange space" with others.

They are well aware of the dangers of ether energy. There have been precedents of ether energy emerging from dark corners and causing harm to the world.

At that time, the city that was eroded by ether energy was completely mutated, and even the city buildings themselves became disgusting monsters.

Therefore, if Modern City also faces an ether energy crisis and it is beyond their ability to handle, they might just abandon Modern City and leave.

Of course, they would not simply believe what Angel said, and they needed to conduct a more in-depth investigation.

Ingres ignored the Hermitage's investigation, stretched himself, walked to a secluded spot in the Liberty Theater, and logged off.

……

Ingres plans to study Olha steel.

When he was with Benbo before, he also played with Olha steel for a while, but after all, there were outsiders around, so he couldn't let go of many research.

Now is the perfect time to do in-depth research.

Thinking of this, Angel opened his eyes, went to the side of the illusion hut, and took out the geometry lock.

With a gentle toss, the geometric lock instantly grew larger, becoming the size of a small house and sucking Angel in.

The geometric lock can isolate the aura, even the mysterious aura, and can suppress it to a certain extent. At the same time, the geometric lock can also prevent being peeped by outsiders.

This is also the reason why Ingres chose the Geometric Lock as his research site.

After entering the Geometry Lock, Angel took out various experimental props from the space, and finally took out a box with a "Top Secret" note on it.

After opening the box, Ingres saw a barrel-shaped glass bottle at a glance.

The point is not the glass bottle; the point is the blue-black liquid inside. The liquid seems to be stained with some luminous powder. When it is shaken, it is like filling up an entire night sky with stars.

This bottle of "Star Water" is the magical metal Olha Steel given to Angel by Algarron.

Because of the special source of Olha steel, how to create Olha steel depends entirely on Algaron's thoughts.

Before this, Ingres had seen Olha steel in the shape of a "pen" and in a "cloud" state. It can be said that he had seen both solid and gaseous forms, and the only thing missing was the liquid form.

And now, the "liquid" form of Olha steel was placed in front of him.

Although they were all Olha steel, Angel was still a little stunned when faced with the new form of Olha steel. He also had to reconsider the research method he had thought of before.

Next, Ingres began a long period of research...

As time goes by, day and night change places.

The night fog is thick outside, but the fog is endless inside the geometric lock.

Angel coughed and used the exile spell to release the mist into the void.

After doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The Geometry Lock is good for closure, but it is also too closed, which causes problems with airflow.

Prior to this, Angel had used various means to verify his ideas and test the properties of Olha Steel. During this period, all kinds of smoke and fire methods were used, making the interior of the Geometry Lock foggy, but he was still at a loss when facing Olha Steel.

For example, Angel looked at the "Starry Sky Water" in the bottle and wondered if it could be used as liquid material to make alchemical potions?
It turns out, yes.

Although it is possible, I still have a lot of questions in my head after making the potion.

For example, every time Ingres felt that "Starry Sky Water" could replace a certain material, the properties of Starry Sky Water would really converge towards that material. In the end, even if he did not put in the original material, Starry Sky Water would completely replace the properties of the original material.

I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all.

All we can say is that idealism has reached a level that is almost approaching "the power of my thinking."

The reason why it is only close is because the starry sky water currently has grade restrictions when it comes to replacing raw materials.

But even so, it's scary.

Because many alchemical materials have actually become extinct, the starry sky water can be used as a perfect substitute through "I think", which is simply amazing.

It's not just alchemical potions, the same goes for alchemical items.

It’s just a bit regrettable that after replacing the original materials, the finished product is not that special.

Angel had thought before whether he could use Olha steel to enhance the effect of the alchemical products, but the reality was that it couldn't.

Therefore, using Olha steel as a substitute material will not bring out its effect.

Therefore, Angel temporarily stopped his research. He needed to make a more detailed plan to refine an item with Olha steel as the core.

Yes, Angel plans to give up some testing for now and directly use actual combat to see the effect.

Anyway, Algaron had promised him before that if the Olha Steel was used up this time, he could continue to apply. As long as the Olha Steel applied for was not too much at one time, Algaron would agree.

With this guarantee, Ingres naturally decided to be bolder.

But even so, how to refine Olha Steel? And what to refine?
Ingres also needs to think seriously.

Ingres pondered in the geometric lock for a long time, and finally had a general direction in his mind.

He planned to refine a "space embryo".

This spatial embryo is like an embryo, which can eventually grow into a unique "shape" through continuous cultivation and watering.

For example, it eventually becomes a space prop.

Or, it could become a source of some kind of ability to amplify or control space.

However, what Angel personally wanted most was to combine the "Embryo of Space" with alchemy to form his own...alchemy workshop.

Once he had the idea, Ingres began to design the blueprint and look for materials.

Both of these are actually not difficult.

Because the "Space Embryo" is more like a semi-finished product, there will be no problem even if you add materials later, or wait until it is refined and then finalize the blueprint.

Ingres quickly came up with a basic design.

However, this is not the end, because the biggest difficulty in this refining is not these, but how to integrate "Olha Steel".

Still need to think about it again.
