Chapter 59 The Magician's Turnaround
Hearing Fang Yu's inquiry, the uncle boss of the posthouse said with a sad expression: "A group of guests who came today turned out to be assassins! Poor my Xiaonan was also implicated because she was their guide, and was taken away by the Knights." .”

"Murderer?" Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked quickly, "Uncle Boss, can you tell me the reason of the incident?"

The boss uncle also didn't know much, so he told everything under Fang Yu's questioning.

This afternoon, Mr. Ren Lao, the vice president of the mercenary union, was assassinated by Tianxin Lake. The knights seemed to have found some evidence at the scene, thinking that Qiyao and the others were the murderers.

So they arrested all the Qiyao people, and at the same time planned to arrest the missing "Fang Ling".

Hutao Town is different from Ningxin Town. There are many strong knights here, and the discipline is strict. The leader is even famous in the town.Even if Jinyao had three cores and one star, it wasn't enough for the Knights.

This is trouble.

Fang Yu wanted to ask some more specific questions, but the boss didn't know more.

"Hey, being arrested by the head of the Knights himself, there must be no hope, Xiao Nan, woo...how did you receive such a group of disaster stars?" The boss uncle sat at the door crying bitterly and sighing.

Fang Yu was irritated when he heard that, taking advantage of the fact that the boss had no time to talk to him, he went directly into the small building of the post house, and searched the rooms where Qiyao people lived.

Only a jewelry pendant in the shape of a black four-pointed star was found in the girl's room. Fang Yu thought carefully, it seemed to belong to Xiao Nan.

The rest are just a bunch of salutes, including changing clothes and the like.

Fang Yu put all these things into the system backpack and sat on the bed to think.

The knights did not know what evidence they found, and they identified the people of Qiyao Mercenary Group as the murderers. The sanction result has not yet been decided, but according to what the boss uncle said, it should be very serious.

If Fang Yu went to the Knights now, without any identity and low strength, it would not be of any use. Maybe the head of the Knights would take Fang Yu as an accomplice and put him in prison together.

The vice president of the mercenary union was an old man, and the place where he was assassinated was by Tianxin Lake, but the Knights must have searched the scene, and after such a long time, basically no other clues would be left behind.

This is all the information that Fang Yu knows now, and it is almost a dead end.

Now only Fang and himself are left, he has to find a way to save the group leader and the others.

"What should I do..." Fang Yu thought hard, but couldn't find any clue.

He knew too little about Walnut Town.

"By the way, Wang Xumei!" Fang Yu's eyes lit up. Wang Ximei has been here for a while, and he said before that he knows Hutao Town very well. If Fang Yu wants to know more, he must go to him.

After having a goal, Fang Yu walked out of the hot spring station directly, and flew to the pharmacy after a while using the flying card.

Wang Xumei was a little surprised when he saw Fang and came back, but he was also shocked when he learned about the Qiyao mercenary group.

"Uncle Wang, I want to know the current situation in Hutao Town. As long as it has something to do with this incident, the more the better." Fang Yu said eagerly, taking two bottles of healing potions at the same time, and putting one Gold coins are placed on the counter.

Wang Xumei had a serious expression, and put away the gold coins casually. After thinking about it, he said slowly to Fang Yu in a somewhat old voice: "The one who was assassinated today was the vice president of the mercenary union, named Ren Lao, who has already More than 60 years old. He is also a well-known strong man here. There are less than [-] three-core practitioners in Hutao Town, and he is one of them..."

Among the strong people in Walnut Town, the president of the mercenary union ranks first, the mayor ranks second, and the president of the magicians union ranks third.The leader of the Knights is ranked fourth with three cores and four stars.

It is said that this knight leader is very strict, and everyone in the town knows it. Even the mayor of Hutao doesn't treat him like Ningxin Town's superior-subordinate relationship, but treats him almost at the same level.It's just that the mayor of a town is the biggest manager of the whole town, so he still has the right to speak in the Knights.

Being arrested by the head of the knight group, it is estimated that the Qiyao people are more or less fortunate. As long as the head of the group takes action, none of the violators of the commandments can survive more than three days.

After listening to Wang Xumei's explanation, Fang Yu's heart was heavy.Wang Ximei pondered for a while, and continued: "There is also an organization secretly in Hutao Town, known as the Quartet, which is equivalent to uncontrolled underground mercenaries. They violate the commandments all the year round, do some assassination missions, and once killed a lot of people. ...But they have a rule that they do not accept assassination commissions higher than three cores, so it is unlikely that they are the murderer."

Fang Yuben's eyes brightened, thinking he had found the direction, but when he heard the back, it dimmed again.

Wang Ximei told Fang Yu everything he knew, but even if he had a better understanding of Hutao Town, there was still no way to crack it.

Wang Xumei had nothing else to help, so Fang Yu could only go back to the posthouse and figure out a solution by himself.

The most important thing now is to find a way to see the head of the Knights, save Qiyao and the others, re-investigate the assassination, and ensure the temporary safety of Jinyao and the others.

If you want to see the head of the Knights, you need a suitable identity, at least you won't be treated as an accomplice.But how to get this status...

Fang Yu sat on the bed, thought for a while, and turned on the system's lottery function.

"If the system can extract a useful thing, the predicament can be solved..." Fang Yu doesn't really believe in metaphysics, but at this time, he still prays that his luck will be overwhelmed.

Click the lottery button, the lottery chance changed from 1 to 0, and the turntable started to spin rapidly.

Finally, the pointer stopped in the blue area, and an item card floated out of it.

Magic Card [Illusion] - Quality: Blue 1 star.

Use time: 10 minutes
Effect: A hallucination that affects vision and hearing occurs within a diameter of [-] meters.

……

When Fang Yu saw this magic card, he suddenly had a solution.He is now a magician, as long as he joins the magician's union, he will have a suitable status!
Relying on his special status as a member of the Magician's Union, going to see the head of the mercenary regiment will at least prevent him from being arrested as an accomplice.

"But the strength of the five-star green product is still not enough. It seems that today we will try to make a blue one-star magic card." Fang Yu thought in his heart.

Through the systematic introduction of magic cards, Fang Yu can see the conditions needed to make each kind of magic cards.

The production cost of magic cards of the same quality is the same.The white quality magic card has never been obtained, so it cannot be detected. The green one-star magic card needs 600 mana points to complete the production, and the mana consumption will increase by 100 points for each additional star.

When it comes to the green 5-star magic card, it needs to consume 1000 magic points.

When the quality is raised to blue 1 star, earth-shaking changes have taken place, and it directly needs to consume 2800 points of mana.

This is also the reason why Fang Yu has never made blue quality magic cards. One is because it is difficult to buy blue quality empty magic cards, and the other is because there is not enough magic power.

And now Fang Yu's mana value is exactly 2800 points, which means it has just reached the production consumption of the blue product one-star magic card.

In addition, after drawing this fantasy card, and knowing the node arrangement of the fantasy card through the system introduction, the knowledge of making magic cards in my mind has reached the level of blue 2 stars.

All production conditions have been met.

In this kind of place where there is a magician's union, there will definitely be blue pinkong magic cards for sale in the magic supply store.Fang Yu decided to buy a few cards, and to practice his own hands tonight. When he can successfully make illusion cards, he will be more confident when he goes to the Magician's Guild.

It was very dark outside, it was eight o'clock in the evening, and most of the shops on the street were open.Fang Yu took the time to go out, ignoring the gloomy boss who was drinking in the front hall, walked across the alley to find a magic supply store that was open, and spent a hundred gold coins to buy ten blue pinkong magic cards.

By the way, I spent [-] gold coins at the pharmacy to buy [-] large bottles of magic power potions to replenish the magic power.The self-recovery speed of magic power is too slow, and there is not so much time to wait.

This time, Fang Yu's gold coin inventory was running out, and there were only single digits left in his backpack.But money is nothing compared to the safety of friends.

Back in the room, Fang Yu adjusted his state to the best, and then began to reveal the cards for the blue and empty cards according to the memory in his mind.

It is much more difficult for the blue magic card to reveal the card than the green magic card, and it is the first time for Fang Yu to do it this time.But his technique is very proficient, and he completed the step of revealing the cards in the shortest time.

The next step is to inscribe the magic power nodes in the star map space inside the magic card. The green magic card is engraved one by one, while the blue magic card is engraved with two nodes at the same time, forming two intersecting and completely different patterns. .

These gaps have made blue-grade magic cards infinitely more difficult to produce than green-grade magic cards, and the large consumption of magic power also comes from this.

Even with a wealth of experience in his mind, Fang Yu almost failed the first time he got started. The magic cards he made barely reached the usable standard. After testing with the system, the effect of magic can last for 5 minutes.

It is equivalent to failing the exam with fifty points.

However, Fang Yu was not disappointed, because it was the first production just now, and he was worried and distracted, so he was a little flustered. This time, Fang Yu found the reason, and began to calm down and take a deep breath.

He forced himself not to worry about the safety of everyone in the mercenary group, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the production of magic cards.

After a while, Fang Yu finally calmed down, drank three bottles of magic power potion to replenish his magic power, and then started to reveal cards and make again.

This time it was done in one go, and after success, it can be tested with the system, and it can take eight and a half minutes!

This is already a very qualified achievement. The standard price of the blue-pin magic card on the market is more than 8 minutes of use time. Being able to reach this level means that he is qualified to be called a blue-pin one-star magician.

Fang Yu became more confident in his heart, and made all the remaining eight empty cards into fantasy cards again, and the duration of the last card reached a perfect 10 minutes.

Just after the last magic card was made and the brilliance condensed and converged, a certain bottleneck in Fang Yu's body was suddenly broken, and he could clearly feel the condensed magic power coming from the air.

The cultivation level has broken through!
