Chapter 121: Further Increase in Fusion Progress

"This this……"

In the basement of Storm's End, Soul Eater Mathas stood in front of the tall candlestick, looking through the notebook in his hand by the flickering candlelight.

‘The path to becoming a demigod was cut off because of... the mermaid, because of... the undersea city? ’

I have been searching hard for decades, and I have paid almost everything for power. I thought I would finally get what I wanted, but...

But why is this the result?

Where is the mermaid? Where is the underwater city?

These are legendary things, how is it possible? How can it be?

This can't be true!

I don't know when, countless crazy thoughts suddenly rushed into my heart, and an uncontrollable bloodthirsty desire burst out from the bottom of my heart.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Mathas clearly heard the strong heartbeat of Governor Fell not far away.

The sound was so rhythmic and rhythmic, as if it was tempting him, tempting him to tear the heart into pieces and drink the blood.

Suddenly clenching the notes in his hand, Mathas suppressed the thoughts in his mind with the last trace of clarity.

‘The notes published by the king are false, they are false!

Even if he uses some low-level secret treasure upgrading techniques to cover up, it must be fake!

No! This is a conspiracy, right! It's a conspiracy! There are also players, they are all the conspiracy of the kingdom! ’

Feeling the musty smell in his nose, Mathas suddenly saw hope again.

The mania in his heart subsided, and he turned around respectfully, bowed his head and saluted the governor:

"Sir Governor, I think... the notes published by the king are fake, the mermaid and the city under the sea..."

Mathas's skull-like face smiled flatteringly:

"Those are things from ancient legends. How is it possible?"

In the shadow of the stone pillar, Governor Fell was sitting on a large stone chair, looking deeply at Mathas in front of the candlestick.

They were both in the fourth and ninth levels, so how could he not see the strangeness in Mathas just now.

The Soul Eater who is involved in promotion spells is not an easy target to deal with.

While the Governor was on alert, preparing to take action first if Mathas made the slightest move, Mathas continued to grovel for the note.

The governor's lips slightly raised, and he knew Mathas's weakness in his heart.

‘In order to be promoted to demigod, this person would not hesitate. ’

The candlelight in the basement danced, reflecting brightly and dimly on the two of them.

"Is it true? Look at this again."

The Governor said, throwing another thicker notebook to Mathas.

Mathas caught it. He didn't understand the governor's intention, but his intuition and curiosity made him look through it immediately.

"This is it! This is it!"

His dry fingers opened the notes page by page, and Mathas's withered eyelids couldn't help but open as wide as possible.

Obviously, compared to the thin notes published by the king last time, this should be the complete picture of Faranir's notes.

‘It seems that the governor’s undercover agent in the royal city really copied the notes and sent them back. ’

On the candlestick next to the damp wall, the light of thousands of candles illuminated the notes, and Mathas flipped through the pages eagerly.

On it, there is actually a lot of secret knowledge recorded that has been lost for a long time.

Alchemy, inscriptions, forging, herbs, and a barrier that can withstand an entire fleet with just one person.

Just, just...

The reason why the path to becoming a demigod is cut off is still related to the mermaid and the undersea city.

Seeing the same text again, the same result, but at this time Mathas's mentality changed dramatically.

The content of the last notebook published by the king has no value to him, a fourth-level and ninth-level transcendent.

But the original copy is different.

As long as you master all the knowledge recorded here, you can control the wind and rain in the endless sea, isn't it just around the corner?

"Da da da."

Governor Fell's footsteps came from behind him, and Mathas immediately turned around in alarm.

He bowed his head respectfully, but he held the note tightly in his hand and did not return it to the governor.

"How's it going? Is this true?"

Seeing Martha's hand tightly clutching the note, Governor Fell just glanced at it and turned to pluck the wick on the candle.

"Yes Yes."

Mathas felt a little guilty, and his instinctive behavior just now was a bit overstepping.

This is Storm's End, and the Governor is a powerful Holy Inquisitor. If he really fights for his life, he may not be able to escape unscathed.

After thinking for a moment, Mathas held the note in his hands, sent it to the governor, and then said:

"The knowledge recorded in this notebook is indeed worthy of the devil coming ashore to pursue it."

What he meant was that the notes were true, and the story about the mermaid and the undersea city might also be true.

"Oh, is it so?"

Governor Fell appreciated Mathas's awareness of current affairs. He picked up the note casually, turned to a page, and threw it back to Mathus:

"But don't you think the barrier recorded on this is missing something we just saw?"

When Mathas heard this, he became suspicious and felt bad. He immediately picked up the note and carefully checked all the knowledge about the enchantment in the note.

"Wall of Wind and Mist? Wall of Wind and Mist! There is no way to arrange the enchantment of the Wall of Wind and Mist!"

Thinking back to a few days ago, Mathas thought of the three apprentices he sent to hunt down Li Feng.

According to reports from those who went to investigate later, his three apprentices all died in the hut of "Faranir" and were shot by hunters.

But what makes them lose the ability to fight before death is a strange enchantment.

The investigators spent all their efforts and finally used up all the energy in the barrier and brought back the extraordinary items used to set up the barrier.

They are a demon bone, four glow fragments bound together with the seeds of the Kirigakure flower.

There are also two pieces of citrine patterned with Red Sea octopus ink.

Governor Fell is the Holy Judge, and he doesn't have much research on the enchantment.

Mathas used the investigators' description of the barrier's effects and the recovered extraordinary materials as clues.

From the few words in the secret book, it was finally discovered that this was suspected to be a long-lost barrier called the "Wall of Wind and Mist".

So as early as that time, the Governor and Mathas discovered that Faranir must have mastered the lost extraordinary knowledge.

And these extraordinary knowledge are most likely recorded in his notes.

But now, what the other two people are confused about is that there is no record of the lost barrier in the hut, but it is not recorded in the notes.

In fact, Gad, who wrote Faranir's notes, did not translate the Wall of Wind and Mist from his grandfather's autobiography.

As for Li Feng, he basically learned the layout method of the Wall of Wind and Mist barrier from the Chinese autobiography of the player Faranir.

"Will..."

In the dark and deep basement, Mathas doubted and guessed:

"Could it be that this kind of small barrier is too simple for Faranir, and he doesn't even bother to record it in his notes?"

"It's possible-"

Facing the candlestick, Governor Fehr said something lightly at first.

Then he glanced at Mathas and his tone suddenly became majestic:

"But do you believe it?"

Mathas immediately bowed his head after hearing this, thinking of the rumors in his mind.

‘The rumors were indeed true. Penros Fell was extremely suspicious and would rather believe it, and he never believed in coincidences. ’

But Mathas himself had second thoughts.

Indeed, he himself did not believe the speculation he just mentioned.

With such a precious and powerful power, and a lost barrier, why didn't Faranir record it in his notes?

Doesn't make sense?

"There is no record of the Wall of Wind and Mist in the notes, but..."

At this time, Governor Fehr’s voice sounded again:

"There is a person who uses this kind of barrier."

Hearing this, Mathas was immediately awakened, and at the same time recalled his apprentice who was shot.

"Rhine? Mr. Governor, do you mean Rhine?"

Mathas replied immediately.

Governor Fell did not answer, he only breathed out through his nose and sneered softly.

After receiving the governor's approval, Mathas suddenly had thousands of thoughts running wildly in his mind.

"Him! He actually tampered with Faranir's notes!?

he? He is a low-level hunter, how dare he? "

Mathas suddenly became excited, and his originally dry voice became sharp and harsh due to excitement.

Governor Fehr smiled when he heard this, and looked at the player who had become stupid:

"He may not dare, but what about the so-called players? And what about the people who cursed the players?"

Upon hearing this, Mathas immediately understood that the governor was referring to the king.

Governor Penros Fell is a smart man who can kill dragons. He can place undercover agents in the royal city and even in the kingdom.

He could also infer from a small detail about the barrier of the Wall of Wind and Mist that there was something wrong with the notes and that there was something wrong with Li Feng.

Not only that, he also had the ability to detect the presence of players, and even immediately suspected that Li Feng was a player.

but.

After all, Penros Fell is a native of the Endless Sea.

He was unable to understand in a short period of time with very few clues what time travel, time-stop, and another high-tech world were, as well as the high-tech products mentioned by players.

I also can’t understand what a “system” is.

Coupled with his repeated miracles in life, it also made him very conceited and suspicious, so.

When he encounters people and things that are abnormal and threaten him, regardless of instinct or rationality, he will think that his enemies are secretly plotting to kill him.

"What the Governor said makes sense."

Mathas immediately bowed in agreement.

As a native, Mathas would not think more than the governor.

"but…"

Suddenly Mathas hesitated. When he said this, he knew that the governor was going to deal with Li Feng.

only.

"I wonder, Lord Governor, how to deal with Rhine?"

Mathas asked humbly and respectfully.

Naturally, he didn't care about Li Feng's life or death. What he cared about was the extraordinary knowledge that Li Fengmo possessed.

Upon hearing Martha's question, Governor Fell did not answer.

He turned his head, looking past Mathas and past the layers of stone pillars, looking into the depths of the castle basement.

‘Mermaid, the city under the sea, hehe, thanks to the Black Dragon Queen, I don’t need those things for my promotion. ’

Thinking of this, Governor Feier couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a bit of pride.

I continued to think quickly in my mind:

‘Mathas, I still need him for my ritual, so I can appease and win over him appropriately.

As for the Rhine...'

Thinking of Li Feng, the Governor remembered that day when he was in the Eye of the Storm Hall.

In front of all the nobles and himself, he was still able to talk without any fear or timidity. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

‘Oh, since that kid is a player, a member of the kingdom, and he also possesses lost extraordinary knowledge.

So the best way is to let this second-level hunter play a greater value than death. ’

What the Governor cares about most is that he thinks Li Feng is the King's man, or some player created secretly by the Kingdom.

Then he must find out the King's intentions through him.

As for the Sea King's throne, it has always been occupied by the capable.

The flickering candlelight flickered, reflecting the uncertain face of Governor Fell.

"How to deal with it?"

The Governor, who had sorted out his thoughts and had a clear purpose, smiled and repeated, and then said lightly:

"Such an important person, of course, must be kept under his nose."

"This..."

Hearing the Governor's words, Marsas hesitated.

For the lost knowledge that Li Feng possessed, Marsas naturally did not want the Governor to kill Li Feng.

But

"Governor, Rhine is extremely cunning, and he is now so close to the Ring of Earth.

I think he may not be willing to serve you at Wind's End Castle."

"Heh."

Governor Fair waved his hand lightly, not caring:

"He's just a second-level hunter, I have plenty of ways to deal with him."

At the same time, Governor Fair thought of the three noble knights who were killed outside Wind's End a few days ago.

...

On August 2, the game world of the Endless Sea had a cool sea breeze.

It was a rare cloudy day in Wind's End today.

Without the scorching sun, the sea breeze rolled up the coast with fine water droplets, which made people feel really cool and comfortable.

Li Feng walked on the rocky beach and found the fishing spot given by the talent of finding fishing spots.

Take out the fishing rod and face the vast sea. He drank the lucky potion today. I wonder if what he caught will be better than yesterday.

"Do you have any particular way to fish? Why do you have to go around here first?"

Xia, who turned into a black cat, followed Li Feng. She was very surprised that Li Feng was looking for a spot on the reef.

"Tell me more about the gargoyles."

Li Feng did not answer Xia's question. After he found the fishing spot, he cast his rod and fished.

Yesterday, with the help of Candice, Li Feng learned that more than 100 years ago, the dragon tribe had hunted gargoyles on a large scale, but the reason was unknown.

So he took advantage of the time of fishing today to call Xia out and ask her how much she knew.

"I wasn't born more than 100 years ago. As for why the dragons hunted gargoyles..."

Xia sat down next to Li Feng, facing the sea and thought:

"It should be for the gargoyle heads. That thing is extraordinary material and quite useful."

As expected, Li Feng nodded and continued to fish while asking:

"Then do you know what the dragons want the gargoyle heads for?"

Xia shook her head:

"I don't know, but what I can be sure of is that the gargoyle heads are not something that the entire dragon clan needs.

Only the Black Dragon Queen needs it, but I don't know what it is for."

This question has always troubled Xia. What did her mother want to do back then that would use so many gargoyle heads?

"Black Dragon Queen?"

Li Feng was a little surprised to hear this, and he suddenly thought:

"Is your Black Dragon clan... Is the extermination related to this?"

Xia looked at the sea quietly after hearing this. She had also had this guess.

"Maybe, I was too young at the time and didn't understand anything."

Li Feng nodded silently.

Just as he was about to ask something, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly sank, and something was hooked.

Not daring to be careless, Li Feng took out the flint and aimed at the sea.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

I thought it was just ordinary fishing, but when Xia saw the thing pulled out of the water, her hair exploded.

But Li Feng was a little bored, because what he caught today was a "bloodthirsty rusty water snake".

Compared with the ordinary rusty water snake yesterday, this snake today is a little longer, thicker, and more powerful.

Checking with the peeping eye, it shows:

"A relatively common and mediocre extraordinary creature."

'Alas, I'm fishing in a snake den. '

But what made Li Feng somewhat relieved was that he killed the big snake today and got 1% of the secret treasure fusion points.

5% more than yesterday.

The current overall fusion progress is 5% in total.

Li Feng simply calculated that he needed to fuse to 100% in eight cycles of 120 days.

Now, just two days have passed, and his progress is 5%.

Not bad.

If he could merge 1% every day, he would have no pressure to complete the task.

Thinking of this, Li Feng felt much more relaxed. Seeing Xia hiding far away in fear, he was about to call her back.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt the wind blowing, and a white shadow flashed before his eyes.

The next moment.

The white shadow suddenly hugged his calf, and Li Feng looked hurriedly.

He saw a white palm-sized paper man, clinging tightly to his trouser leg.

At this moment, the thin paper man suddenly raised his head and looked at him with two empty eyes.

And its mouth, which was cut into a smiling shape, was opening and closing, shouting:

"I got you! I got you!"

At the same time, many footsteps on the reef came quickly from far away. It was a team of soldiers from Fengxi Castle led by two knights.
