Chapter 275 Two-Headed Chimera

The stonemason carefully put down the worn and shiny leather bag on his waist, and selected a suitable knife from it. His rough hands flew up and down skillfully, like a butterfly playing in the flowers.

Crown was slightly surprised to find that the stonemason actually had the strength of a first-level extraordinary person.

Relatively speaking, the stonemason is more humble than the blacksmith. If the blacksmith can become a senior blacksmith, he still has a future, but the stonemason can only deal with stones and soil for his whole life.

The stone chips flew everywhere, and the useless stone skin was scraped off, revealing more of the bright yellow warm jade body.

The stonemason would stop from time to time, observe the raw stone with his eyes, and operate carefully.

Rivigaz nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "This is the most skillful stonemason under my command. He will never waste a single bit of material."

Theo wanted to fill Clown's wine glass, but found that the wine barrel was empty, and his eyelids drooped:

"These stones that can only be used as utensils can actually be sold for gold spirit coins. Isn't it too expensive?"

He wanted the big merchant to take out another barrel of such high-quality storm liquor. If he hadn't come with the silver-ranked bishop this time, he would not have received such a standard of hospitality.

"Haha, what Lord Theo said is wrong. There is a saying that money can't buy what you like. Lord Bishop likes it, but it's just some gold spirit coins."

Rivigaz glanced at Theo who was playing with the empty barrel, and immediately understood in his heart, and smiled:

"I sent someone to get another barrel of storm liquor, but the wine brewed entirely by golden hops is gone."

He walked out of the room, whispered a few words to the guard at the door and returned to his seat.

The guard quickly brought in a wine barrel, placed it on the table respectfully, and then took away the empty barrel.

Theo smiled happily, poured half a glass of wine and tasted it, and suddenly felt that the wine that used to be very delicious was a little less flavorful.

The stonemason's craftsmanship was very good, and the jade was completely split in half an hour.

"Very good,"

Rivigaz took the jade presented by the stonemason and asked with a smile:

"Sir, do you need us to help you polish it into the corresponding shape?"

Of course, you have to do it yourself to feel at ease to split the jade talisman. Clown shook his head: "No, I will polish it slowly by myself."

"Oh, okay," the merchant responded, and said to the stonemason standing beside him:

"Go down, the reward for today's work will be doubled."

"Thank you," the stonemason thanked and left.

Rivigaz took out the scale that he had prepared long ago, weighed it carefully, and finally concluded:

"Sir, the net weight is 40.56 pounds, the decimal is a discount, calculated at 40 pounds, a total of 200 gold spirit coins. In addition, I will give you a 20% discount, a total of 160 gold spirit coins."

This is a big business, the profit is secondary, the most important thing is to connect with a silver strongman, it is not certain when you can get far more than today's income.

Klauen took out the gold spirit coins he carried with him and said:

"I am currently working in Hamers City in the Rhine City Diocese, and the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce is welcome to go there to do business.

If you can get a larger and better quality Minghuang Stone, I will also buy it."

The other party is an 'international' channel. After establishing contact, it can help him collect the rare things he needs, or sell the special products in the industry.

Golden spirit coins are also a strategic resource that can accelerate the recovery of spiritual power. He needs to hoard more gold spirit coins, at least to make the spirit control fight more persistent.

He can purify ordinary spirit coins, but it requires the consumption of golden light symbols. If possible, he wants to establish an industry that can completely break away from his own stability and obtain a large number of gold spirit coins.

The most beneficial way for him to use the Sun Flame Liquid to refine the Sun Essence is to be the most beneficial way for him. The gathering of the cultists in the harsh environment makes him full of vigilance.

As time goes by, more and more evil god followers will wake up from their slumber, and he finds that he still can't relax.

The reason for cultivating forces and industries is to let these feed back to himself, so that he can have more energy to focus on improving his hard power.

"Sure, I will stay in Blaise City for about a month, and then I will definitely visit you in the Rhine City Diocese."

Rivigaz was very relieved when he received the invitation. Although the business route of their Chamber of Commerce only goes back and forth between the capitals of various kingdoms, other shareholders will definitely agree to this journey if they can connect with the silver strongmen.

He plans to hold a meeting tonight to inform other responsible persons of the good news.

. . . .

Klauen returned to the Laurel Hotel and first found Flanders to tell him that he had important things to do and not to disturb him if there was nothing important.

Then he locked himself in the room and started cutting the jade.

This time he did not do it himself, but summoned a metal clone, because the clone can change into various shapes as needed, and can perform mechanical movements more accurately than himself.

This time, three hands appeared, and the lower body was a disc-shaped whole.

‘He’ first clamped the jade, made a wire saw made of iron essence, and started cutting the jade. The third hand picked up a wooden barrel filled with water and drilled a small hole in the bottom of the barrel.

Water drops kept dripping from the small hole, cooling the hot jade.

The metal clone had amazing efficiency, and it completed the work in just ten minutes.

This warm jade only got a usable high-quality jade talisman and two ordinary jade talismans, and the scraps were polished into a jade bowl the size of a baby's palm. The remaining ordinary materials were carved into some exquisite gadgets, ready to be given to others in the future.

Crown extended his index finger and touched the inner edge of the jade bowl. It was like turning on a tap. Sunfire Liquid, shining with a faint golden light, flowed out. He immediately took a bowl.

He took out a stack of talisman paper and a brush, dipped it in the Sunfire Liquid and began to write.

When the Sun Thunder Seal was completed, golden flames lit up on the talisman paper, and the talisman turned into ashes.

Most of the brush in his hand was burned immediately, and it was burned to the point where the brush was held. He felt the burning sensation of the flames.

These ordinary talisman papers could not withstand the power of the Sun Thunder Seal at all, even if the material used was Sunfire Liquid.

Crown was a little speechless and had to change another brush.

After trying a few more times, he was able to draw the Sun Thunder Seal in one stroke.

After confirming that he could draw the talisman fluently and correctly, he took out a fiery red talisman brush.

This was a talisman brush he made with the spiritual hair at the tip of the fire fox's tail, which was specially made for drawing the Sun Thunder Seal.

Clown summoned the golden wall and glanced at the level of the talisman drawing skill.

[Drawing talismans: 6237/10000; Level 3]

Now drawing the Golden Light Talisman and the Pure Heart Talisman no longer increases proficiency. If you want to gain experience, you can only draw the Taiyin Thunder Seal and the Sun Thunder Seal. The cost is too high. Fortunately, the skill of this level is enough to draw the Sun Thunder Seal.

After cleaning the jade bowl, Clown carefully took out a few drops of Sun Essence, and then drew the Sun Thunder Seal on a jade talisman of lower quality.

He moved his pen smoothly, without any hesitation or stagnation, and another Sun Thunder Seal was formed!

The room flashed with golden light, and the Sun Essence penetrated into the interior of the jade talisman, and the streamer flickered in it.

After completing the first real Sun Thunder Seal, Clown continued to work hard and took out the best quality jade talisman.

Like the Taiyin Thunder Seal, if the jade material of the talisman is too poor, the Sun Thunder Seal cannot be preserved for too long. It is better to wait until it is needed before making it temporarily.

However, if this is done, the power of the thunder talisman will be reduced. It is better to get more high-quality warm jade, so that more talismans that can be preserved for a long time can be drawn.

Another sun thunder talisman took shape in his hand, and Clown solemnly put the jade talisman away.

Things are going very smoothly. Now they only need to discuss a plan to support the Rhine Diocese at the Cardinals' Conference, and they can return.

Clown has no intention of staying here for too long. After returning to Hamers, he can improve his proficiency in the Golden Light Spell faster.

The star creature in the alienated area must be used well, otherwise it will lose the opportunity to improve quickly when the proficiency rises to a certain level.

. . . .

Lannister stayed in the luxurious guest room arranged by the Holy See, bored and dazed.

The church did not restrict his freedom, but every time he went out, he was accompanied by a third-level bishop, in the name of letting him better understand everything in this city.

He was sure that he could control the accompanying monitor with mental magic, but he was not sure that he would not be seen through.

The essence of mind magic is to use one's spirituality to pollute the enemy's awareness. This is the location of the Church of the Lord of Flame. There are countless magic arrays inside, and there are also several silver-level strongmen.

If any clues are found, even if he is an envoy of the Warlock Brotherhood, he will be burned by the church and burned to ashes in the raging fire.

He didn't want to stay here for a moment, it was too restrictive. St. Peter's Cathedral was much more strict than the Holy Fire Cathedral.

But there was no way. The Pope allowed him to go to Rhine City, but he had to go there accompanied by Flanders and others.

He was powerless to resist this ban and could only wait there.

At this moment, he was more determined to establish a large-scale trading channel for the Golden Light Potion. If the power of the Warlock Brotherhood far exceeded that of the Church of the Lord of Flame, he would never be treated like this.

The characteristics of the Golden Light Potion can quickly "produce" a large number of second-level and third-level spirit masters. Maybe some lucky person can go one step further and become a silver spirit master and go down in history.

. . . . .

Amid the roar, the airship slowly moved forward in the white wind.

Rhine City welcomed the first snowfall, and the snowflakes hit the skin of the airship.

The visibility was extremely low, and the pilot could only judge the current altitude of the airship by the altimeter on the instrument panel.

Yennefer was leaning on the railing of the observation room. She was wearing a black fur coat and white gloves on her hands. A faint sadness climbed onto her fair forehead.

"The weather is too bad. I think this reconnaissance may not yield any results. If the wind and snow are stronger, we must make an emergency landing to avoid it."

Geralt walked behind the sorcerer, gently put his arm around her waist, and continued:

"I have read relevant information recently, and I found that the first snow in the Kingdom of Farouk is coming earlier and earlier.

This year's snow is one month earlier than a hundred years ago. You know, it's a long winter here since the first snowfall.

Why don't we return?! It's too dangerous to fly in such a bad weather."

While the demon hunter was talking, he greedily breathed in the scent of cloves and currants emanating from the sorceress's body.

"If it doesn't snow, we only need half a day at most to reach the vicinity of the target area. This mission is a bit difficult, but don't be nervous.

This airship is the latest product of the Guild of Wonders, and it can adapt to such extremely bad weather.

The skin of the airship is a special material you have never seen before. It was artificially made by those crazy inventors and engraved with multiple magic circles.

The purpose of making this airship is to meet the needs of fighting in extremely harsh environments."

Geralt said gently: "I don't trust these machines. There will always be various accidents. Since you insist, I will accompany you."

Yennefer reached out and stroked the face of the demon hunter on her shoulder. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. She was about to say something, and suddenly found a hazy red light in the snow-white in front of her.

The warlock exclaimed: "What is there?"

The demon hunter also saw the red in the distance, and his face showed a solemn look:

"I don't know, but my intuition feels a hint of danger."

"Guard, notify the driver, 22 degrees to the right front, turn on the searchlight, approach for reconnaissance, but keep the altitude and slowly descend."

Yennefer gave the order, she felt that she was about to discover the secret of the church's airships constantly heading here.

The demon hunter had trained his amazing intuition through so many life and death experiences, so she asked the driver to keep the altitude before descending.

The airship was getting closer and closer to the red area, and the blazing white light penetrated the wind and snow. The demon hunter saw that there were stone towers standing here, and the red light was emitted from the stone towers.

Countless tall and deformed humanoid creatures were busy, and many of them were followed by deformed monsters, such as cheetahs with two heads, black bears with bone spurs on their bodies, etc.

This place seemed to be a forbidden area of ​​wind and snow. The falling snow disappeared in the red light, and the strong wind would suddenly stop after entering this area.

"This is a camp, the territory of the cultists. I saw some creatures that are the products of flesh alchemy.

These people have been hunted by the church for thousands of years. How could there be so many?"

Yennefer's eyes were full of disbelief. There was no wind and snow in this area, and the vision was good. She saw it very clearly.

At this moment, she understood the reason why the church airships kept flying into the Andes Mountains: 'Closely monitor potential enemies'.

The demon hunter took a breath and said, "Damn it, I roughly calculated that from the density of the flow of people, there should be about 100,000 cultists and pets here."

He didn't say a word. Most of those monsters were extraordinary. If Rhine City was attacked by these cultists, it would probably be razed to the ground, right?

While the two were talking, a two-headed monster with no feathers and wing membranes flew out of the camp.

The monster was very large, more than ten meters long, with two tall cultists sitting on its back.

"Oh no, it's a two-headed chimera, judging by its size, it's at the top of the third level."

Yennefer realized that something was wrong and shouted:

"Guards, notify the pilot to climb at full speed immediately."
