Chapter 236: Ranchi's Racial Compatibility

In the winter of December, the bell of Ikrit Academy struck three o'clock in the afternoon.

Frey's quarters had the feel of a detective's office.

On the dark brown walls hung some newspaper clippings and old maps of cases he had solved. His desk was cluttered with documents and notes. Beside the desk there was a microscope, a few alchemical reagent jars, and an open geography magazine.

In the compartments of the floor-standing shelves on one side of the desk were some newspapers, manuscripts, magnifying glasses, fingerprint powder, and magic props of unknown purpose.

Two leather sofas sat beside the fireplace, ready for visitors or for Frey himself to use.

As the clanging of the ancient bell tower echoed, Lanci and Frey looked out the window.

Thanks to the prestige he had accumulated in the student union over the past few months, Frey's little-known detective agency now occasionally receives commissions.

But Frey's way of doing things is very different from that of ordinary detectives. Hiring him will face the risk of counterproductive results, and the price is proportional to his ability, so unless it is absolutely necessary, no one will easily ask Frey for help.

Now that the holiday has come, the detective agency is completely closed.

On the low table in front of Frey were newspapers and two cups of black tea.

However, this was not a business meeting, but a temporary farewell to Lanqi.

Ever since Hyperion lived in Cat Boss's restaurant, the two of them often stayed together. Lanci was not only Frey's legal advisor, but sometimes also Frey's right-hand man in his detective work.

"Lanqi, your level is forty-six."

Frey held up a dark gray crystal, glanced at Lanqi through the light on it, and said.

“I see.”

Lanqi thought it made sense. After the last Shadow World, he went from level 3 to level 4, and it didn't feel like he had just reached level 4, and he wasn't particularly far from level 5.

"How much are you, Frey?"

"Fifty-four."

Frey replied.

Over the past few months, based on this hierarchy theory that Lanqi first proposed unintentionally in casual conversation, the [Level Identification Technique] jointly developed by the Alchemy Institute and the Magic Engineering Institute of Ikrit Academy is now spreading rapidly in the southern continent.

Since the magic itself is very simple in structure and is more of a set of theories, and some effort has been put into measuring, defining, and calculating the conversion values, it is very easy to spread. Spell versions, magic card versions, and magic item versions of the [Grading Identification Technique] already exist, and it has even spread to the Northern Continent through the communication between challengers in the Shadow World.

There may be an explosive wave of popularity in the next few months.

The research team pointed out in the paper that the first person to propose this theory was Lanqi Wilford. If this research can achieve considerable success in the next two years, even if Lanqi did not participate in it at all, it may also gain considerable academic reputation.

Although this identification spell is ineffective against strong people in normal state.

Strong people usually hide themselves. For example, Dean Loren looks like he is at level one or even level zero, but he is actually at level eight.

"But I got the news from the Alchemy Institute. In order to assist in the research, the level of Dean Loren was measured to be 87 during the development process."

"No wonder he's so abnormally strong."

At the level of Ranch and Frey, they might be able to win by relying on talent differences, special mechanisms or restraint relationships by crossing a few levels. But at the end of the sixth stage, starting from level 69, it has been calculated that each level will have a very large growth, and the gap in attributes brought by the levels is increasingly difficult to make up for by other factors.

There are only a few ninth-order strongmen in the northern and southern continents in this world. There is a reason why Loren can be called the strongest person protecting the Kingdom of Hutton.

The two chatted idly.

Now after the holidays, the campus is much quieter, and there are no student union affairs. They actually feel like they have nothing to do after retirement.

"What a shame, I can't go to the Northern Continent with you this time."

Frey leaned back on the couch and sighed.

I heard that the underground casinos in the Protoss Empire are quite powerful.

He will be watched by Dean Sphentos for the next three months and will not be able to escape from the royal capital Ikerit.

In other words, if he had the ability to escape from Ikerite under the hands of Dean Sfintos, then his training would be considered to be successful.

"Frey, we may be back late this time. If you have the chance to visit Shadow World alone during the holidays, you don't have to wait for us. We may not be back until next semester."

Lanqi looked at the calendar and thought about it, then said to Frey with certainty.

It’s mid-December now and they probably won’t be back until April or May next year.

Frey also reached the silver level directly, and he could participate in the challenge of the real shadow world alone without forming a team.

For a numerical monster like Frey, his own level is particularly important, and each level upgrade will bring a qualitative change in his combat power.

In the first node of the blood moon, a vampire baron appeared, and in the second node, a vampire viscount and even a vampire earl appeared. So, there is a high probability that a vampire marquis will appear in the shadow world of the next blood moon.

Even if the three of them have cooled down, they can't go on the challenge together. Everyone needs to become as strong as possible first.

Sometimes the strength gap is too big, and no matter what strategy you use, it may be useless. Even if you successfully complete the mechanism, you will still be wiped out.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"No problem, but if you and Hyperion go north these days, you should pay attention to the battle between the bishops of the Resurrection Church. I heard that the route of the Dimension Bishop being chased by the Destruction Bishop is gradually shifting to the north."

Frey gave a reminder as he glanced at the international column on the front page of the newspaper on his desk.

They were two moving natural disasters, whose wrath was beyond the ability of mortal bodies to withstand.

"Don't worry. Hyperion and I will head south first, creating the illusion that we are going south. Then, we will change into new disguised identities along the way and head north. No one will recognize us then."

Lanqi's [Transfiguration: Demon] is the technological crystallization of the ancient Horning Empire's experimental field. After the final improvement, it is a technology written by human magic texts, while [Transfiguration: Human] is reverse-engineered by the demons of that era based on [Transfiguration: Demon] as a blueprint. It can bypass most of the spells that can detect disguises in today's era.

Talia has helped Ranch and Hyperion rewrite a directional change card that can directly disguise themselves as a similar human being without being detected.

"But this spell is more important, it is more convenient in the Northern Continent."

In the Protoss Empire, where they will first land, the human race is also the least likely to be involved in racial disputes.

"Um."

Frey nodded. He had heard Lanqi talk about the culture of the Northern Continent mentioned by Loren. "But there is one thing... I can be sure of it."

"What?"

"If there are people in the Northern Continent who have reverted to their ancestral roots and awakened their wolf bloodline like me, they shouldn't be any harm to you."

"Why?"

This time, even Lanqi didn't quite understand the conclusion Frey came to and why.

"It's hard to explain. Just like the vampires are born to be afraid of you, the wolves are born to feel close to you."

Frey folded his arms and described his intuition in a slightly confused manner.

"Okay, if I come across a wolf tribe in trouble, I will try to treat them as a friend and help them as much as possible."

Lanqi looked at the clock, stood up, picked up his coat from the door and put it on, then waved goodbye.

It's about time.

Go to Boss Cat's restaurant to find Hyperion and you can set off.
