After bumping into the villain boss [Western Fantasy]

"Lynton Plinlevy?"

Seeing Linton coming in, the old man lowered his voice and spoke. His hoarse and peculiar voice echoed in the empty alchemy room, and Linton suddenly felt a chill rushing up his spine.

"Yes, hello, respected Your Excellency Sam." Linton nodded, and the registration form in his hand contained the identity of the person in charge of this assessment.

Joshua Sam, a seventh-level alchemy magician, although he is only a newly promoted seventh-level, but for this level, regardless of the depth of seniority, it is enough to be called Your Excellency.

Although it seems a bit overkill for a seventh-level alchemist to intervene in the fourth-level assessment, considering that Linton stated from the beginning that he would sign up for the fifth-level assessment, it seems that there is no problem with this Your Excellency appearing here.

"Hello." Josue smiled lightly, with the natural intimacy and gentleness of an older person on his face, without the arrogance that a high-ranking alchemist should have. See It seems very amiable.

"Considering that it is said that you will also sign up for the fifth-level alchemist assessment, so I will come out to see it with my own eyes, don't you mind? If it is convenient, you can pass the fifth-level assessment by the way."

Sure enough, Linton confirmed this in secret, and nodded to show that he didn't care.

Joshua nodded again, tapped the table lightly, and the silver magic instantly turned into a thread, pulling several papers and a list over.

"Here are some instructions about this assessment. Please read it carefully and sign it. The other sheet is a list of materials that can be used in the assessment in the current association. You can choose enough materials to make it. "

"If the materials you need are more remote, then you can only provide them yourself."

"Thank you, Your Excellency Joshua."

Linton saluted with one hand on his chest, then stepped forward to take the instructions and list, and briefly looked through them.

It should be noted that the above content is very concise, and it is basically to make sure that you are not deliberately causing a waste of resources, and will not waste too much material.After a brief glance, Linton took out the quill from his cuff.

"Two copies, please give them to me." Joshua raised his head and reminded, holding another list in his hand, and seemed to be researching what could be made with this list.

Linton nodded, and finished signing in a hurry. When he wrote the second copy, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his fingertips, and the ring on the little finger of his left hand began to feel slightly warm.

The quill moving in the air paused for a moment, and the "n" in "Prinelway" in Linton's hand disappeared secretly.While the signature in the flower body is flying, this small detail is quietly covered up.

He tidied up the two copies in his hand, and when he handed them to the table, he looked at Josue gently, showing a shy smile.

Then soon, he returned to his seat, and began to study the checklist facing the blank laboratory table, while the other hand was flying around on the blank white paper, outlining things that were hard to see without looking carefully. the font

Qiao Xiuer accepted two signatures. When he pressed his finger on the second copy, he raised his eyebrows calmly, but quickly took a deep breath, with doubts in his eyes.

But Linton didn't let him immerse himself in unnecessary thoughts for too long, because he handed in a concise list immediately after.

Joe Hugh was a little surprised for a while. He glanced at himself before reading every two lines of the list, and then at the things Linton handed in. The surprise in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

"you……"

Let's not talk about it, it's too fast, but why is there only so little stuff in the list handed in by the other party?And there is no material that is strictly within the scope of the fourth level, only a fourth-level water attribute magic core-but as we all know, the magic core of the basic attribute monster is naturally half a level lower than that of a magician, and two are needed to produce it. Make sure to make alchemy items that meet the level.

Although the lack of materials and the poor quality can be made up for by relying on the magic circle and the excellent refining techniques, this is too...

Qiao Xiuer couldn't help frowning, first copied a copy of the list in his hand and handed it to his followers, then tapped the table in front of him with one hand, and began to think about the usage of the materials in his hand.

Wait, that's it.Flowing crystal stone and heavy water can reconcile the power of the spar. If it is combined with a magic circle that is very biased towards purification, it can indeed make one spar exert the effect of two.

And other...

Is this for earrings?

Qiao Xiuer thought hard, although in terms of the amount of materials, only earrings should be able to be made, but he always had a feeling that the other party had to do more than this.

Besides, there are too few magic circles that earrings can depict. With such materials, I want to refine a fourth-level alchemy...

It wouldn't be too difficult if Joe Hull was making it.But the one in front of him was just a young boy.

After pondering for a while, Josue suddenly said, "I roughly guessed what you want to make with these materials. Well, if you can really use these materials to complete an excellent, qualified fourth-level alchemy If you make it, I will give you a level five badge directly."

"Your Excellency?" The apprentice who was carrying the materials just heard this sentence. He stared in shock at this Your Excellency who he had followed for a long time and had a very fanatical love for alchemy. Such an old-fashioned person who broke the precepts couldn't help muttering, "This is really...unbelievable."

------

Amidst some noisy voices, Anlan leaned against the corner with his eyes half-closed, feeling the magic power flowing in his body, and began to meditate on the spot with a quiet and waiting attitude.

No one would notice that someone started meditating under these conditions.So much so that his actions are clearly in the public eye but little known.Even the people who originally wanted to come up to contact him silently gave up because of his posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Anlan squinted his eyes in silence, immersed in his own world while catching the magic molecules in the air.

There is a strange sense of magic in the air here.There is no obvious special thing, but when I sense it, I always feel that something is missing, like... like...

His thoughts turned in an instant, and Anlan suddenly grabbed the scene similar to the environment he was in now from the depths of his memory, and then began to compare.

That day, after the person who worshiped the dark god changed, the air also had this smell.

And now...

The ten fingers twitched violently, and then slowly stretched and released. Anlan closed his eyes, feeling the feeling of the ring on the little finger of his left hand, while recalling the previous scene.

The ring was a semi-finished product that Linton had entrusted to him some time ago. Due to the limited ability of the other party, it was unable to produce an item that fully met the requirements, so the semi-finished product returned to Ann Ryan for free - half of the semi-finished product.

These two rings can communicate with each other, can sense the magic vibration of the dark attribute, and have a small storage space.If the scope of communication is not too short and the space is really small, it can be said that it fully meets Anlan's requirements.

When Linton handed one of them to himself and said that he would continue to work hard to meet the requirements, Ann Lane brought the one that belonged to him to his little finger by the way, and he didn't expect it to come into use so soon.

And that familiar breath...

His thoughts gradually settled down, and he recalled the scene at that time.

----

"Hee hee hee hee hee hee."

The clay puppets, which are not as big as a palm, are bouncing and bouncing in the air, and even circle each other to form a dance. Even if no one pays attention to it, it is very happy.

"This..." The contemporary Pope Brandon, who was not confused by the appearance of these clay dolls and was keenly aware that these things must be related to the God of Darkness, thought for a while, and gently waved the scepter in his hand. The light instantly lit up in the form of white balls, echoing in the air.

These balls of light are white on the inside and gold on the outside. When floating up and down in the air, their trajectories are somewhat consistent with those of the clay puppets.

Brandon's face became more and more bad: "These things... actually exist in a way similar to the Second Coming of the Holy Light."

The Second Coming of the Holy Light is the name of the light attribute magic he used before. It needs to borrow power from the God of Light before it can be used. track fluctuations.

If you carefully practice the wave pattern that comes with the Second Coming of the Holy Light, you can gradually learn the great magic of the cardinal level from it, and when you use it, you can almost directly change the "bright world" of the environment.

Therefore, the Second Coming of the Holy Light has always been blocked and secretly passed on by the Temple of Light as a very important magic spell. This is the first time that Brandon has seen a similar structure in other magic or creatures!

dark god...

Clenching the scepter in his hand tightly, the old pope tightly closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of determination.

He remembered the vows he had made as a child.He wanted to become Pope, never because of his desire for power, or the hope of being strong, just because he wanted to do more for others.

It is precisely because of this mentality that he was selected by the previous pope and became the holy son of light that everyone is looking forward to.

But now, the dark clouds that affect the lives of civilians have begun to accumulate, if something really happens...

"May the God of Light bless this world and make this world as happy as an ideal land."

It was nothing more than a sacrifice, and it wasn't particularly difficult for him, although the fact that he hadn't yet chosen a good heir was more troubling.

Pope Brandon slowly opened his eyes, and the Second Coming of the Light, which had infused him with many emotions and thoughts, suddenly burst out with astonishing light. Enveloped, they melted away one by one.

"Hee hee, hee hee..." The weird smile in the air gradually disappeared.When this group of clay puppets were about to melt, they who were looking around suddenly turned their heads in unison, pointed their half-melted faces at Brandon, and burst into sharper smiles Voice.

Their faces had been almost completely melted and looked muddy.However, this made the oil paints of various colors on them disappear, and the movements floating in the air were also strangely stiff and consistent. Looking at their faces from this angle, it seemed...

Allen suddenly withdrew his consciousness from the previous memory, and there were only two words left in his mind.

"as if……"

It seems that every clay puppet corroded by the holy light has the face of Pope Brandon!

After gasping for breath twice, he finally remembered that he was not in the backstage of his succession ceremony, but in the hall of the Sisia Alchemy Association, waiting for Linton to finish his test. The cold sweat that was implicated by the memory looked down at the ring on the little finger of his left hand.

That simple silver ring with only some leaf patterns was slightly heating up.

And the uncomfortable smell in the air became more and more intense.

Although it is not as strong as what I have felt before, just like the group of weird clay puppets have not jumped out of the sharp smile, but it is still depressing and uncomfortable.

Anlan thought for a while, raised his legs and took two steps towards the testing room of the fourth-level alchemist, and leaned against the wall again.

The breath here is getting stronger, the person who exudes the breath of the dark god... Is it in this alchemy room?

Frowning slightly, Anlan unconsciously tapped the tail ring on the little finger of his left hand with the index finger of his right hand, and many thoughts flashed in his heart.

Then, he glanced and wondered when the door of the alchemy room would be pushed open, and turned and left the association without hesitation.

"Hey, why did the person who came with Mr. Linton suddenly leave?" Because there was no job for the time being, Fina couldn't help but gossip with Ryan beside her.

"That should also be Mr. Plinlv, right? After all, the two of them can be seen as twins at a glance. Isn't this Mr. Plinlv going to test?"

Fina's eyes were shining brightly, as if she had caught something important and special.

Ryan couldn't help but sighed: "Fina, I know you haven't learned much about magic, but have you really memorized these basic contents?"

He seriously explained the theory about the absorption of the twins' talents, and then looked thoughtfully towards the direction where Ann Lane disappeared at the door.

"However, this gentleman does not feel any lack of talent. He is really a gentle person who is dissatisfied and resentful towards his twin brother."

Fina couldn't help covering her mouth. As a sentimental girl, tears were already in the corners of her eyes: "This gentleman is really pitiful. He is willing to accompany his genius brother here. It's really a blessing." A strong and great heart."

At this moment, Anlan, who had no idea that he had been labeled as weak, pitiful, helpless, strong and great, was greeting several of his subordinates, and then turned around and returned to the alchemy room association.

What he never expected was that just as he stepped into the gate of the association, he saw an obvious blue light suddenly burst out from the crack in the door of the alchemy testing room of the fourth to sixth level, and then the soft blue light scattered in all directions. Outlined a long blue water wave.

Is this Linton's success so quickly?

Raising his brows inconceivably, Anlan couldn't help but glance at the time displayed on the grandfather clock in the hall.It has been less than 30 minutes since Linton entered!

That guy is not usually at such a speed, did he perform supernormally this time?

Just thinking of this, Anlan watched the door of the testing room being pushed open.Linton was holding a stack of thin paper, holding a round blue ball the size of a child's fist and walking towards the front desk.

This small ball seems to be made entirely of water, with a fish and simple aquatic plants swimming inside, like a small ecological ball-but it is definitely more than that simple on the surface.

Linton put down the things in his hands, communicated with Ryan, and then all the things were taken away by Ryan, while Linton began to look around for Ann Ryan with unconsciously serious eyes.

"By the way, Ryan, I would like to ask, how many words should be signed in the agreement signed before the test, I'm afraid I missed something?"

"You don't need to count, just sign one, and sign it at the end of the agreement handed over to you." When Ryan heard this sentence, he quickly looked at the paper handed in, and then he was satisfied. He nodded, indicating that there is no problem.

"Okay, thank you." Linton thanked Anlan earnestly, and walked to Ann Lane's side, wanting to greet him and leave together.

Anlan silently felt the sympathetic gazes that frequently fell on him for some reason, and was puzzled for a moment, not noticing Linton's movements.

Immediately feeling a little anxious, Linton tentatively tugged on the corner of Ann Lane's robe, and finally brought the other party back to his senses.

"Let's go quickly? Find the hotel where you will stay tonight as soon as possible, and then..."

------

In a guest room on the second floor of the Sisia Music Town Hotel, Linton looked at the barely decent room, turned his head and stretched the corners of his mouth.

"I have something to tell you..."

"I have something to tell you..."

The voices of the two people rang out in the room at the same time.

"You speak first."

"You speak first."

After falling into silence for a short while, Linton suddenly laughed, the kind of uncontrollable laugh that bends over.

The two of them really had an unexpected tacit understanding in some things, and somehow they had a feeling that they were really twins.Just like when I spoke just now, it really seemed like twins who had a tacit understanding.

"Cough, cough, I can't laugh anymore. I have something very important here. Let me talk about it first." Linton wiped the corners of his eyes vigorously, trying to control his urge to hiccup.

Anlan, who had already begun to guess that what the other party was going to say was the same thing as what he was going to say, nodded calmly.

"The examiner I am conducting the test this time should be related to the Dark God. I don't know if he is offering sacrifices or collecting something with the help of the Dark God's belief..."

The corner of Anlan's mouth, which was still smiling, immediately flattened: "Sure enough, I sensed the breath of the priest of the Dark God in the hall before."

Then he specially called a group of his own men to come over to find out, to prevent Linton from having an accident.It turned out that Linton did not expect to come out so soon, and none of his men even arrived in time.

Of course, Ann Ryan will not say this part of the matter at the moment, he just said the content of the previous sentence.

Linton then went on to talk: "He asked me to sign two names at that time, saying that the agreement needs to be kept in duplicate. When I signed the second copy, my intuition seemed to be wrong. The tail in my hand Jie also kept getting hot, so he kept an eye out and signed his name wrongly."

He looked up and looked at Ann Ryan seriously.

"And just now, when I asked their front desk staff, they told me that only one signature is enough for that agreement."

There is no such thing as a duplicate!

A signature is a magical thing, especially an agreement signed between two magicians.If you have enough preparations, and the signed paper is tampered with, you may be able to complete the forbidden spell with the help of some evil gods.

such as……

A taboo technique that extracts a person's root marrow and steals the other person's talent!

The reason why he thought of this was because Linton suddenly found out the identity of the examiner who had just been interviewed from the depths of his memory, and discovered a very important question.

In his memory, his father once talked about this examiner, and sighed that this examiner was born with a low affinity for elements. Unless he encountered some adventures, he would never be able to become a fifth-level magician.

And without a foundation in magic at level five, it would be impossible for Joshua Sam to become a level seven alchemist in his life!Without a magic foundation above level five, even if he borrows some props, he can only complete one level of magical transformation, and there is no way to transform it again, reaching level seven!

The other party must have obtained some adventure to change the talent, or used some means to change the talent.

And from the fact that the breath of the dark god emanates from him, it can be confirmed... Joshua Sam, most likely, took advantage of his status in the Alchemy Chamber Association to secretly use forged contracts to steal Take the talents of others!

Linton quickly poured all his speculations to Ann Lane like beans, and Linton saw that the other party's expression became serious.

"Linton." Ann Lane's voice was a little soft, with a kind of empty hatred. This was the first time that Linton could hear emotions other than laughter in his voice.

"Don't you think the ability to steal talents is familiar?"
