Chapter 93: Stealing the Star for the Moon

When we arrived at Juling Pagoda, Mr. Polar Star had not returned yet. No matter how fast we set up the clouds, the journey is still far, and we probably won’t be able to get back within a few hours. Preparations must be done within this period of time. I called the guards to prepare a lot of equipment in the room below the council hall of Juling Tower. I didn't know what I needed, so I got everything I could think of. The next step was to bring the witch into this room.

The witch came to the market with an indifferent attitude. "What kind of monster is that monster you need me to save? I'm so lucky to have such a strong backer like you."

"These are not things you should ask. You just need to treat me."

"You need my help now, I'm not begging you." She showed off her power. Vina happened to come in from outside the door, and the demon girl almost instinctively slid down from her seat and sat on the ground. "Please... please... may I ask, you... who are you?"

Wei Na glanced at her: "Are you the monster who can copy the inner elixir?"

The banshee knelt down quickly without even daring to raise her head. "The little demon is a demon spirit transformed from white bones. Copying the inner elixir is just a little bit of my specialty."

"Your specialty is quite useful."

"Thanks for the compliment."

I looked at her and then at Vina. "How come you are so respectful to her and have such a bad attitude towards me?"

"This master's power is so strong that he ignores everything, but you can't feel your power. Of course, you can't treat him the same."

"Can't feel it?"

Vina reached out and knocked on my breastplate: "This thing seals your power. A little monster like her can't feel it."

"Is it that obvious?"

"Of course. The Magic Dragon Suit is an artifact, and concealing one's abilities is one of the main features of the artifact."

"No wonder otherwise!"

"I kept you waiting." The door was suddenly pushed open, and Mr. Polar Star walked in.

"You're so fast!" I didn't expect Mr. Polaris to be so fast. He actually ran back and forth in just half an hour.

Mr. Polaris didn't seem to hear my words but just stared at Wei Na blankly. "This lady is...?"

"I am Ostevena, the god of chaos and order."

"I'm sorry!" Mr. Polar Star immediately began to get close to him. "I felt strong pressure from afar. It turned out to be the main god. In the future, we will build our own temple system, and there will be many places to deal with. Please bear with me if there is any conflict." This old cunning guy, so early Started vaccinations.

Vina is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. "What the hell. We should be considered peers, fair competition. Besides, with Zi Ri in the middle, our relationship won't have any big problems. Zi Ri's face must be sold at all times." The matter was passed on to me!

Mr. Polaris' words changed quickly enough. "That's right. From now on, brother Lao Ziri will be responsible for coordinating the work."

These two bastards have pushed everything onto me, and I won’t be able to get away from it in the future.

I saw that Mr. Polaris had nothing with him, and quickly asked: "Where are Yueran and Yaoyao?"

"Here." Mr. Polar Star took out a small cloth bag from his body and poured it out. Two little foxes fell out of it.

Wei Na glanced at it and noticed the collar around Yue Ran's neck. "Is this what you want to cut off?"

"Yes, not only must it be cut off, but it must also not cause magic fluctuations, otherwise the collar will explode."

"It's a small thing." Wei Na waved to Yue Ran: "Come here."

Yue Ran looked at Wei Na and took a few steps back instead of moving forward. Wei Na frowned, and Yue Ran was immediately lifted back by an invisible hand. Then Vina stretched out her right hand, palm upward, with the index finger straightened and the other fingers fully extended. Yue Ran floated in front of Wei Na. She put her finger on the collar under Yue Ran's neck and tapped it gently.

A circle of electric sparks suddenly flashed on the collar, but disappeared quickly. "Isn't this thing so exquisite?" Wei Na said.

I immediately asked nervously: "Is there any way to get off?"

"Of course. A collar won't bother me. But I would like to ask first if you still want this collar?"

"Does it make a difference?"

"Of course there is a difference. If you don't want it, I will save some trouble and form a strong barrier outside the collar to limit the power of the explosion to a small range. When the explosion is over, we will slowly release the pressure. If you still want it For the collar, I will spend more time studying the arrangement of magical energy inside, and use reverse spells to flush away the original magic."

"Then you'd better study it slowly. It's more convincing to take this collar back."

"Then you have to wait a little longer."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Wei Na said it would take a little longer, but I didn’t expect that she would continue to study until after 8 o’clock in the evening. She was still studying when I went online again after dinner. Polaris-kun and I have prepared everything we need and are just waiting for her to take off the collar. In order to save time, we will perform surgery on Yaoyao first.

We first asked Bone Girl: "What do you need to make the inner elixir?"

The bone girl said: "First of all, I need to see and check the physical condition of the person being made, so that I can make the inner elixir. Otherwise, it will be dangerous if the attributes do not match. In the production process, a large number of innocent souls are needed as materials, and also It takes a lot of energy to synthesize. In the past, when I helped other monsters make inner elixirs, I would first capture 1,000 living people, and then use their souls to make them. As for energy, I have always used the essence of the sun and the moon. That thing needs special Collection, the output is also pitifully small, so the cost is relatively high. Usually the monsters who come to me to beg me are responsible for collecting these things themselves, but I don’t have those things.”

It doesn't sound as simple as imagined. "Does it have to be an innocent soul that was just killed?"

"This is not necessarily the case. As long as it is a more active soul, it doesn't matter when it died. But it is best to have a higher-level soul. Cats and puppies are not good. They are too low-level and have weak energy."

"That's easy to handle." I pulled her outside the Juling Tower and pointed at the green material surrounding the tower. "Did you see that? Is that okay?" After waiting for a long time, he found that there was no answer. When he turned around, he found the boss who was dumbfounded with his mouth open. "Hello? I have a question for you. What are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, I'm just scared. Why are there so many innocent souls here? It's so thick that it turns into a ghost cloud. Such a large film must cost tens of millions, right?"

"Don't worry about it, I'm just asking you if I can use it."

"It can be used. Such a violent wronged soul must be able to use it. What an exaggeration!"

Fortunately, Essinger has more of these things, otherwise it would be really troublesome. "So does energy have to use the essence of the sun and the moon?"

"As long as it can be converted into my mana, I have to control those wronged souls when making the inner elixir, so I must have strong external energy to supplement my consumption. Otherwise, I can only support it for a few seconds and there will be no time to create the inner elixir."

I thought for a moment and said, "Can it just be converted into magic energy?"

"certainly."

"Follow me." I took her back to the room where we were going to do the surgery. Remove one of the magic lamps on the wall, and the Essinger power pipe inside is exposed. "Can you take a look at this?"

She just touched the power pipe and said in surprise: "How can such pure energy be in the wall?"

"You don't need to know this, just tell me if it can be used."

"It works, but it seems the flow rate is too small."

I immediately took out the leaves of the city tree. "Connect the power pipe of the room I am in directly to the power core, and transfer 1% of the city's power to this room." After receiving the reply from the City Tree, I immediately said to the bone girl: "You try again. "

She touched it lightly and immediately held on to the pipe. I pulled her down and said, "Can I ask you? Don't use my energy to practice on your own. My motivation is not free of money." The practice of monsters is to extract the essence of the sun and the moon as the driving force for the use of magic. What flows in Essinger's power pipe is pure energy. She greedily sucks the energy and stops doing business.

"Go away, don't make trouble." The bone girl's eyes suddenly turned red, and her appearance also suddenly changed. The originally beautiful face instantly turned into an ugly skull face, and sprouts appeared on her back. There are a lot of barbs and claws are coming out.

North Star Lord exclaimed and immediately got into a fighting stance: "Purple Sun retreat quickly, she absorbed the energy and became stronger."

After hearing what Mr. Polaris said, the bone girl became even more arrogant. "Haha! Although I don't know what this is, but with this thing, I can become extremely powerful. Get out of my way, I will be so happy that I may let you go."

Wei Na took Yue Ran out to study the collar, and she became arrogant after absorbing some energy. The two ring knights immediately stepped forward to catch her, but were pushed far away. The bone girl looked at her paws and laughed happily: "Hahahahaha! It is indeed pure energy. I didn't expect the effect to be so good. You are no longer my opponent, hahahaha!"

The North Star Army said anxiously: "What should we do now? I am no longer her opponent!"

I picked up the leaves of the city tree calmly and said: "Reverse the power of the power pipe in the room where I am and turn on the forced evacuation machine."

The bone girl was sucking so hard, like she was doing a rocking dance, when suddenly she screamed and started to try hard to pull her hand off the pipe, but the thing seemed to be sticky, and she couldn't get it off no matter how hard she pulled it. .

The bone girl's screams quickly turned into screams, and then into moans. The spikes on her back disappeared one by one, and her eyes turned from red to green, then to black, and finally disappeared. Her claws shortened little by little, and her stature also became shorter, and she soon returned to her beautiful girl appearance. But the vacuum machine didn't finish its work, she was still moaning. After a while, her image of a beautiful girl began to change again, as if a person's voice passed by in a few minutes. She aged rapidly in front of us, her rosy skin quickly shriveled up like air, her beautiful face gradually collapsed, and her teeth also faded. fell down. In less than 5 minutes, she changed from the image of a young girl in her teens to the image of an old woman who seemed to be over a hundred years old, and the changes continued. Her skin began to turn into gray dust and gradually fell off. Then her body seemed to explode, and the epidermis completely exploded and turned into dust. A skeleton appears before us. It looks like my bones will turn into powder if I don't yell stop.

He picked up the leaves and said, "It's time to return to normal. Temporarily cut off the power pipeline connection in this room."

The suction on the power pipeline suddenly disappeared, and the bone girl fell to the ground like a pile of human bone models, without even the strength to move. I walked over and squatted next to her: "Do you want me to feel it again?"

The bones on the ground reluctantly raised a hand and shook it back and forth twice before suddenly pulling it down. She was already tormented to the point of being close to death.

"Tell you. It's best not to be presumptuous in front of me in the future. This is Essinger, my territory. Both the Asian Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness have stumbled here, let alone a little monster like you. You can't even see Jiuniu It's not even a hair, I can crush you to death with just a little finger. So you'd better understand your situation. To tell you the truth, you can survive until now because your skills are of great use. I plan to put You stay in Essinger to serve me for a long time. If you make trouble again in the future and make me feel that the trouble you cause is greater than the benefit you bring... humph, think about it for yourself!" After that, he grabbed her. She pressed her skeletal hand on the power pipe and tried to struggle, but unfortunately she was not as strong as a baby. "City Tree, restore normal power input to this room."

Her body immediately regained consciousness as the energy was replenished, and her skin and muscles gradually appeared, but she was still old. However, with the supplement of high-purity energy, she soon regained her youthful appearance, and her face became much better-looking. I pulled her hand off. "Can you stand up now?"

She immediately nodded respectfully and stood up.

"Well, that's right. Be as good as a kitten. If you behave like this in the future, I guarantee you will be more comfortable than in your Onizuka. But if you use your mind wrongly, even if you are the Demon King, I can still find a way to deal with it. You become a pile of ash. Do you understand?"

The bone girl nodded hurriedly: "I understand."

"Now come and test the pipe power." I pressed her hand back to the pipe. "Tell me the amount of energy and I'll adjust it."

After that, we used it for ten minutes to adjust the energy to the appropriate level. The bone girl has become completely obedient now. We almost sucked her dry just now. There are not 100 million but tens of thousands of creatures that died in Essinger, and it doesn't matter if there is one more of her.

At half past eight, Yue Ran came back by herself. She still held her collar in her hand.

"Come down?"

Veena followed in. "This dark god is so boring. He actually set a series of spells in the collar. If I hadn't been so skilled, I would have almost been fooled."

"Fortunately it's still open."

"It's open, but there are some minor problems." Wei Na said awkwardly.

"piece of cake?"

Vina pointed to the collar: "I just triggered a small mechanism array, and ended up using a more violent method when closing the magic energy circuit."

I took the collar from Yue Ran and looked at it. "Isn't that great? Where's the violence?"

"It's not a superficial problem, it's the magic circle inside the collar. There is a part of the small magic circle that was disrupted by my power. It shouldn't be easily discovered if you don't pay attention."

"You mean it's possible that someone could figure out from this collar that it wasn't taken off after the creature died, but was opened by someone?"

"Theoretically, there cannot be such a powerful creature, unless it is at the level of its creator."

"Does that mean only you gods can discover it?"

Wei Na nodded and said: "As long as the Dark God doesn't study hard with the collar, there will be no problem."

"That's good." I said with confidence: "I think the other party won't be so bored that he specializes in studying whether the magic circle of the collar is damaged. The main god is the main god after all. There are many things to do, so he won't be so idle."

"This is what you said, don't look for me if something happens." Wei Na started to shirk responsibility so early.

"If something happens, I won't be able to come back, and I won't have time to come back to find you." Wei Na wanted to say something, but I didn't interrupt her. "You'd better go back first. Thank you anyway."

"Then I'll leave first."

After Vina left it was our turn to work. Not a single operation was completed due to the delay just now, so I had to start over. The bone girl first checked Yue Ran's physical condition, and then began to make inner elixirs with comparable attributes. I basically see nothing in this job. All operations are in the form of energy. Anti-invisibility does not mean that pure energy can be seen.

Although the energy is invisible, the inner elixir has an actual form. About ten minutes later a blue ball appeared in the air. This sphere, which was originally only the size of a soybean, grew in size as it rotated, and finally became as big as a table tennis ball.

I didn't dare to speak until I saw the bone girl finished her work and took the blue sphere in her hand. I was afraid of disturbing her and all my previous efforts were in vain. "Is this the inner elixir?"

She nodded: "This can be regarded as the 'hair' embryo of the inner alchemy, but it is not complete. Only when the soul is injected can it be considered the real inner alchemy."

"Soul? Do you mean Yue Ran's soul or the innocent souls outside?"

"Of course it's an innocent soul. Will she survive if her soul is taken out?"

"Hurry up then."

Bring the Bone Girl out and let the City Tree release some souls from the Soul Gathering Tower. The embryo of the inner alchemy is simply like a magnet that attracts the souls of enemies. Those souls were immediately sucked down as soon as they left the Spirit Gathering Tower. Because the speed was too fast, I couldn't calculate how many innocent souls were absorbed, but Bone Girl said it was more than a thousand. When the last wronged soul entered, the inner alchemy had changed from a pink-blue opaque sphere at the beginning into a light blue bead like a crystal ball.

"It's done." The bone girl handed me the crystal ball-like thing: "This is the yin inner elixir, which is of extremely cold nature. It is just suitable for the fox named Yue Ran."

I didn't dare to believe Bone Girl too much, so I took this inner elixir and went back to Mr. Polar Star for appraisal. Mr. Polar Star studied it for a long time and only said: "It seems to be about the same."

"Then get the second one quickly."

Bone Girl created the second inner elixir, and we began to operate on Yue Ran. Although Mr. Polaris knows the technique, he refuses to do it himself. He insists that his Taoist skills cannot be stained with blood, and I have to do the bloody things. I had no choice but to go into battle with a knife. I have seen surgeries many times, but this was my first time doing it myself. North Star Lord stood about ten feet away and first used Taoism to seal Yue Ran's five senses. This was equivalent to anesthesia. I'll do the surgery next. Anyway, there is magic protection in the game, so you usually can't die, so it doesn't matter if I can't hit you accurately.

I summon Xiaochun first to help me. If anything goes wrong, her healing skills can remedy the situation. Follow the instructions to open the abdominal cavity and find the location of the inner alchemy. Do not move it first. Polar Star Lord sprinkled it with his special 'medicine' powder, and then used Taoism to temporarily block the demonic power from flowing out. After getting the prompt, I quickly took off the inner elixir and put the new one on. Mr. Polar Star quickly used Taoist magic to fix the inner elixir, and then restored the demon power connection. Yue Ran's body twitched and returned to normal. I quickly helped her connect her chest, and then used healing techniques to quickly eliminate the wound. Even though it was the first time, it went relatively smoothly and was easily done.

After the wound was completely smoothed by the healing technique, I asked Xiaochun, who had been waiting for a long time, to use the advanced recovery technique to completely treat the bad condition. After confirming that it was safe, Polar Star Lord removed the five-sense blockade, and Yueran slowly regained consciousness.

"How do you feel?" Polaris asked.

Yue Ran moved his limbs: "I don't feel anything on my body, just like before the surgery. It's just that the inner alchemy feels a bit awkward."

"This is a normal situation, after all, it is remodeled." Mr. Polaris comforted him.

I also said: "That's right, of course the refurbished goods cannot be compared with the original ones, so don't worry too much about it."

"I suffered such a big sin because of you." Yue Ran said angrily.

I was even more angry than she was: "Please understand clearly, saving the lives of the two of you is purely out of humanitarianism. Who put you between the Frost Rose Alliance and the European Dark Temple? To tell you the truth, the darkness in Europe The temple and my Frost Rose Alliance are both a huge interest group, just like two empires. Sacrificing the two of you for the benefit of the two empires is a standard choice under normal circumstances. It is my benevolence to save you two. Yet you still complain to me.”

"This is what I should say. We live a good life, but you want to sacrifice us because of the interests of your group. Now that you have decided not to sacrifice us, you still want us to thank you. Don't you find it boring? This It's like a robbery and murderer who suddenly told his prey that he would not kill him as long as he cut a cut in the prey's body, and asked the prey to thank him for his greatness."

Mr. Polar Star came over quickly to smooth things over: "Actually, neither of you are responsible for this matter. Yue Ran is relatively innocent, and Zi Ri also has his own difficulties. Everyone should take a step back."

I rubbed my face and said, "Let's all calm down. Anyway, now you are on the must-kill list of the Dark Temple, and no one can protect you except me, so you have no choice. And I have to risk a lot for this." Big risk, so it shouldn’t be a problem if you provide some services, right?”

Yaoyao suddenly came over and pulled Yueran behind. "It is our fault for offending the Dark Temple, but your performance is not bright either. However, your conditions are fair, and we accept your conditions."

"Okay, let's start the next surgery!"

I really can’t stand it. It’s hard to be a leader who does practical things these days! The younger brothers are all asking for benefits and terms from you. On the surface, they have a lot of power, but in fact, they are restricted in everything!

Calm down and start the operation. With one experience, the second time will be much faster. Put the inner elixir copied by Bone Girl into it to replace the original inner elixir and then use healing magic to restore the wound. It was done in five minutes.

Looking at the two inner elixirs in his hands, they are indeed different from the two made by Bone Girl. The inner alchemy created by Bone Girl is purer and more transparent than the two in my hand, and the smoothness of these two is not as good as the two fake ones. But these two really have the image of the essence within them. As long as you hold Yue Ran's inner elixir in your hand, you can see a little fox jumping around inside, while the fake inner elixir is transparent and has nothing inside.

Mr. Polar Star took an inner elixir and said: "The clearer the inner elixir of a monster, the more powerful the monster is. The two imitations just made were probably made by directly using relatively powerful souls of injustice and pure energy, so they are particularly transparent, but The inner elixir is the condensation of its own essence, and it also has memory. But the artificial fake inner elixir is synthetic, so there is nothing in it."

"No wonder the inner alchemy can distinguish monsters."

"Another reason why the inner alchemy can distinguish monsters is that the attributes match. The attributes of a monster are like fingerprints and are unique to it. So far, it has never been found that the attributes of two monsters are completely different. the same."

"Hey, no matter what, this thing can prove that Yueran and Yaoyao are dead. Just take this to Ditans and you can hand in the task in exchange for money."

"Don't forget this." Yue Ran threw the collar over.

I caught the collar: "Don't worry! This is the guarantee for your safe escape. With this thing, the European Dark Temple will no longer hunt you down."
