Unfortunately, nothing was found this time.

The strange sound lasted only a moment, and then returned to silence in the blink of an eye.

Then, some yellow shadows appeared in the surrounding air, and gradually condensed into a cloud of yellow sand, spreading in all directions.

It was swirling, with some purple mist mixed in.

The first time is new, the second time is familiar. Rhett grabbed the body of the earth magician and threw it on the ground, then lay down.

A few seconds later, the sandstorm swept in the direction of somewhere else, but saw the corpse next to Rhett and the earth element that Rhett deliberately condensed around him.

Still hesitated for a few seconds.

Then he slowly came over.

While waiting for the sand spirit to enter his body again, a strange feeling came over him, but he simply ignored it.

Rhett closed his eyes and carefully felt the differences around him.

I saw the surrounding yellowish-brown particles jumping around as if they had life, and a thin line of quicksand appeared from time to time.

Lei Te suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes: "This time, it's different?!"

His comprehension of the mysteries of the earth element seemed to be... stronger than the last time?! The interval between the two times he subdued the sand elves was extremely short, and coupled with this mystical comprehension, it was extremely clear, and Lei Te could clearly sense the slightest difference.

He experienced it carefully, and was pleasantly surprised. He gradually felt clearly that this feeling was a bit like affinity, and it was only effective for the mystery of "dispersion" in the earth-based mystery.

As an earth magician, Rhett was very sensitive to this. Perhaps because of the sand elves, he did not feel any other earth mysteries except the mystery of dispersion.

He relaxed his mind again and carefully experienced the mysterious laws around him.

It is indeed different.

It can be confirmed that Leiter's understanding of the mystery of "scattering" is indeed a little stronger than the first time he subdued the sand elves.

"In this case, we can judge that subduing the sand elves is more than just a contractual connection."

"The other party will indeed bring me and enhance a talent similar to 'Mystical Affinity'..." Rhett thought secretly in his heart, and named this change 'Mystical Affinity'.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Through this experience, Rhett's understanding of elves deepened again.

"In that case, keep brushing until it's drained!"

Then, as if he had thought of something, Lei Te turned around and found that there was no one behind him. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief:

"Huh, it turns out that old Moguli really lied to me."

"He didn't witness me taming the sand elves in person. He must have used rhetoric to deceive me in the last simulation."

Lei Te's eyes turned and he fell into deep thought: "However, the other party seems to know more about elves than I imagined, and with the strength of a great magician, it is easy for him to discover something.

After we have fully plucked the wool from the sand elves, we must leave as soon as possible."

He pondered for a few minutes, and suddenly, a sinister voice sounded behind him again: "Luo Fu, what are you doing here? Aren't you looking for a traitor?"

Rhett was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at the other person with a strange expression.

Oh my goodness, you are doing this again? This time I changed the direction on purpose. I was heading north just now, and now I am heading south. You are still doing the same thing as before! He shook his head and sighed, "Go ahead. I am the one who subdued the sand elf."

"Huh? What? You..." Moguri was also stunned by this sudden reply. After a moment, he came to his senses and realized what the other party said. "The sand elf was subdued by you?"

In an instant, Moguri was furious. He swung his wand hard and cast an earth cone spell. He wanted to kill the guy who deceived him without a burial place.

An ochre-colored light flickered in the air, and a wisp of terrifying aura drifted away.

Sensing the abnormal fluctuation of the earth element, Rhett immediately exerted his mysterious power. This time, Rhett was able to actively control the mysterious power of "scattering" that seemed to be innate.

A wisp of yellow sand flows slowly in my mind.

In an instant, Rhett's head turned into soft quicksand.

The ochre-colored spike suddenly stabbed at him and pierced his head again.

But Rhett was unharmed.

Even so, Rhett was not at ease. He did not feel happy at all that he could fight against the great magician.

This time, it is not a life-and-death crisis.

Rhett could not experience the special state where the spiritual potential was squeezed to the limit, so he could not catch the trajectory of the magic released by the other party.

He relied entirely on his experience and foresight, knowing that the other party would attack his head, so he prepared in advance for the desertification.

But when Moguli saw this scene, he found it unbelievable.

"Impossible, you just tamed the sand elves, how could you realize the mystery so quickly!" Moguli's eyes widened in disbelief, and at the same time, a feeling of jealousy to the point of madness surged in his heart.

Sand elves, they are sand elves! If I hadn't been tricked by them just now, I would be the one who has subdued the sand elves and gained insight into the mysteries! !

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Moogle stared at Leiter with red pupils and gnashed his teeth, "You, die!"

Chi

This time, Rhett was fully focused, trying to see if he could once again withstand the attack of a great magician on his own.

However.

He thought too much this time. The potential of the limit of life and death would not come overnight. It required daily accumulation and being really in a desperate situation.

At this moment, he could no longer enter that state. Instead, he felt a piercing pain and a sharp spike pierced into his body from behind.

Puff, blood gushed out like a fountain.

Buzz

The world in front of him was blurry, and ripples appeared in front of Rhett's eyes. He once again came to the evening when it was almost dark.

"Huh, that was probably the first time a simulation ended because of a real death..." Rhett shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In every simulation in the past, he took the initiative to end it despite the impending danger. Only just now did it end because of death.

At this moment, a familiar light screen appeared before my eyes.

[The real simulation is over. Please select an attribute you want to keep. ]

【1. Constitution】

[2. Fighting]

【3. Mental strength】

"Choose three, of course!"

Rhett made a quick choice, and felt a gentle, nourishing feeling, different from the infusion of mental power, coming over him.

Deep in my mind, there was another inexplicable feeling.

When he opened his eyes, the world was slightly different again.

"In this state, I'm afraid that the speed of comprehending the mystery of 'scattering' will be accelerated."

A sudden realization dawned in Leiter's mind.

Even without the sand elves by his side, when he closed his eyes, the world around him was not dark, but rather earth-yellow particles were floating and jumping, with traces of quicksand appearing from time to time.

He was delighted: "If that's true, every time I subdue a sand elf, my talent for mystical affinity will be enhanced!"

With an idea in mind, Lei Te opened the system again.

[Do you want to start the real simulation? Each day of simulation consumes 1 point of destiny. ]

"Yes, simulate one day."

Entering the simulation again, Lei Te's eyes were replaced by a glimmer of anticipation, "I wonder what kind of changes can be achieved at the end of the simulation."

Simulate again and again...

Until the thirty-seventh simulation.

Leiter subdued the sand elf once again, feeling the obvious changes in the world around him, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

In his perception, his mental power expanded, and the world around him was no longer the same as it was at the beginning. The ochre-colored particles were jumping, and wisps of yellow sand were flying around and staying for a long time.

Like a young girl, waving at him seductively.

As long as he concentrates his mind and perceives carefully, he can see the importance of privacy - the mystery of "scattering".

Unlike the first time he tamed the sand elf, there would only be an occasional wisp of quicksand around, appearing for a moment.

The current environment is so much better! Lei Te sighed in his heart: "Is this the world of geniuses? No wonder some people can 'see' this mysterious trajectory before entering the Holy Land..."

“Now I can do it too!”

He was immersed in this feeling, and the mystery of dispersion was right before his eyes, as if it was within his reach.

Suddenly, good fortune came to me.

There was a trance in Lei Te's eyes. The continuous emergence of mysteries gave him a different understanding of the mystery of "dispersion".

Unconsciously, he released this innate power.

The upper half of the body suddenly became soft, and dense yellow particles emerged, and then everything turned into yellow sand.

Rhett came to his senses, was shocked, and immediately cancelled the desertification.

Then, his thoughts spread and he suddenly had an idea: "Since the activation of the mystery of 'Dispersion' will not affect the changes in the body's functions, then there is no need for him to turn his entire upper body into sand at once..."

He can turn only the inside of the body, certain key parts, and fatal points into sand.

When facing an enemy stronger than him and an attack that is difficult to react to, it is like having an extra layer of insurance, greatly enhancing his ability to save his life.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. Rhett used the mysterious power, and suddenly there was no change in the appearance of his body, but his internal parts and many organs had turned into quicksand under the effect of the mysterious power.

This quicksand is not real sand, it looks similar on the outside, but if Rhett's mental strength is exhausted or the mysterious effect is stopped, it will immediately return to its original state.

Therefore, the desertification caused by the mystery of "dispersion" will not affect the original functions.

Otherwise, if the head turns into real sand, wouldn't it be equivalent to suicide on the spot?

A look of joy appeared on Rhett's face. This state was extremely concealed and consumed relatively little energy, which greatly improved his ability to survive.

He twisted his body, this time showing his back to the east.

A few minutes later.

A voice rang out from behind, so loud that Lei Te's ears were almost callused:

"Love, what are you doing here? Aren't you looking for a traitor?"

Rhett turned around helplessly and looked at the vice president of the Yager Chamber of Commerce, who was already standing behind him, staring at him with eyes that seemed to be scrutinizing him.

Lei Te looked helpless and sighed:

"Yes, I was tracking the traitor's trail. I just got here and felt that there were traces of human passing by, so I took a look here."

"Haha, really? I've been watching here for a long time. The sand elf just now has recognized you as its master, right?" Moguri narrowed his eyes and said in a dangerous tone.

Lei Te's mouth twitched: "Sure enough, it seems that no matter which direction I turn my back, you always say the same thing..."

"Huh?" Moogle was confused by the inexplicable words.

"Go ahead, I am the one who tamed the sand elf." This time, Rhett even communicated with the sand elf in his body, Shag, and released it.

I saw a yellow sand shadow coming out of Rhett's body, standing slowly aside, like a wooden chicken, motionless, extremely lazy.

It was a real scene. The Moogle powder barrel was ignited instantly. He waved his magic wand in anger and cast a quicksand spell.

Caught off guard, Rhett fell for it.

Then, he felt a sense of pressure on his head, and his heart twitched: "Oh no, I have pissed off the other party this time. He is going to crush me to death with the Rockfall Technique..."

He has not yet mastered the mystery of San Zhi Ao and cannot turn his entire body into sand. Faced with this move, Lei Te feels helpless.

"Well, let's end the simulation."

The space before his eyes rippled like waves, and Leiter returned to reality again.

[The real simulation is over. Please select an attribute you want to keep. ]

【1. Constitution】

[2. Fighting]

【3. Mental strength】

"Choose three, is there any need to say more..."

When the light curtain in front of him gradually dissipated, Rhett looked at the destiny value of more than 50, and began to wonder in his heart whether the destiny value could support him to fleece the sheep.

…

Until the thirty-ninth simulation was completed.

[The real simulation is over. Please select an attribute you want to keep. ]

【1. Constitution】

[2. Fighting]

【3. Mental strength】

"Pick three."

Rhett made a hasty choice, bathing in the starlight, staring blankly at the black forest below.

Just now, after taming the sand elves, nothing changed.

"Ah? Did I fleece you dry?"

He explored his mental power and carefully felt the world around him.

At this moment, the earth elements around him were no longer wisps of quicksand, but flying smoke and dust.

Like a layer of quicksand mist, it surrounds Leiter's world at all times and stays there forever.

Well, at this point, it seems there is really no need to continue...

Rhett closed his eyes and sat down on the ground immediately, carefully experiencing the mystery of the flowing dispersion. He felt like a fish in water in the environment. He felt like he was in the arms of Mother Earth.

Very warm, very tolerant, very comfortable...

Half an hour passed.

There were flashes of lightning in Rhett's mind, but his face was calm as water, and his whole body suddenly changed color.

The sandy yellow body was riding on Huo Ge's back. The latter seemed to sense something was wrong and twisted his slender neck, but when he looked back, he was stunned! For the first time, his eyes were as big as light bulbs, and he screamed in panic:

Chirp~Chirp~Chirp~ "Don't worry, Huoge." The sand-yellow Rhett spoke, and the whole person looked like a golden man. He smiled, stretched out his right arm, and the quicksand receded like the tide, quickly returning to its original state, and gently stroked Huoge's neck.

Then, the whole body returned to its original state.

Chuu? It's back?

Huo Ge's voice suddenly stopped and he stared at Lei Te blankly, his mind full of confusion.

"Haha!" Rhett, sensing the emotion, laughed loudly. He was also delighted because he had realized the mystery of dispersion to a certain level.

"You'll understand later. It's hard to explain it to you now." Rhett said softly.

Chirp! Huo Ge turned around happily. No matter what, at least Lei Te was okay.

Leiter looked up at the stars above his head, his smile faded, and new doubts appeared in his eyes: "The mystery of dispersion is more complicated and profound than I imagined. I thought that turning my whole body into sand would be the end.

But it seems that I still have a long way to go in my understanding of the mysteries of San..."

This was the mysterious realization in his heart after his entire body turned into sand in a favorable elemental environment.

Because from his own experience, he felt an obvious bottleneck in the mystery of dispersion, and he had only reached his limit temporarily.

But he still felt that there were some areas in the laws and trajectories of the world that he could not understand.

The sand that covered his entire body was only the surface layer of the mystery. Beyond that, there was a much wider world waiting for him to explore and comprehend.

This feeling made him feel very uncomfortable, but he had to accept it. He finally sighed: "Take your time. I am already far ahead of others in my understanding of the mystery of 'San'..."

Then, Rhett looked around, found the right direction, and took Huo Ge to find the way Moguri passed.

It’s exactly the same process as the previous simulations.

Not surprisingly, Rhett successfully subdued the sand elf.

He stood next to the towering ancient tree again. The sand elf had just entered his body. Rhett, who was very familiar with this process, cleaned up the surrounding environment without any delay.

Then he called Huo Ge and flew away.

Kingdom of Rhium, Province of Saido.

Rhett has arrived above the province of Sedo, overlooking the countless shadows of buildings in front of him and the tall and magnificent castle in the distance, and he sighs in admiration.

The capital of the Kingdom of Rim is located in the center of the Province of Sedo - the Green City.

Therefore, the majestic castle in front of Rhett was also green, including the walls of the royal city, which were the same color as leaves.

Rhett's gaze shifted to the Ring Tower, located on the outskirts of the royal city, in the deepest part of a lush forest.

As he was on his way, he asked the locals and learned about the background of the circular tower, which was a semi-official and semi-independent status.

Enjoy a high degree of autonomy in alchemical research.

However, transactions and sales must be strictly controlled by the royal family of the Kingdom of Rim.

At the very least, the royal family is not allowed to provide alchemical potions to any faction, and the Ring Tower must not have any connection with it.

After more than a week of traveling, Rhett finally arrived at the outer area of ​​the Ring Tower, the Star-Moon Forest.

The Star-Moon Forest is a restricted area, and only members of the Ring Tower and those with special permission can enter.

At this moment, Lei Te was at the outskirts of the Star-Moon Forest and saw a small market set up there.

On the wide open space, dozens of exquisite two- or three-story buildings are lined up in a magnificent manner.

Among the roads and paths, those who come and go include traveling merchants seeking profit, as well as extraordinary people who want to sell materials or buy necessary items.

This is naturally a trading market that has gradually gathered here by taking advantage of the popularity of the circular tower. If it were not close to the royal city, I'm afraid someone would have built a city wall directly.

Although there was no city wall, the outside was surrounded by a fence covered with spikes, with only a gate about eight meters wide that was open.

Above the gate, there is a conspicuous name - Circular Market.

Lei Te ordered Huo Ge to land. Seeing this scene, his eyes were filled with realization:

"Well, it seems that the Ring Tower is not stupid. It doesn't want to give up this profit, so it just locked it up for itself."

"But what are sold in the market?" Rhett had this question in his mind and walked in.

At the deepest part of the market, there is a single-story hall with green walls and white roof.

Lei Te came here on purpose after asking for directions - the only administrative office in the market with a circular tower.

“Youbi, today is your first day on duty here.

Although there is usually nothing to do at the market, you can take some time to practice or think about some alchemy potion issues.

But when it comes to something extremely important, you must not procrastinate or be slow to react and cause delays!"

A clear female voice came from inside the door.

When Rhett stepped through the gate, he saw a beautiful middle-aged woman in a red robe giving instructions to a young man in his twenties.

"Eh?" The beautiful middle-aged woman sensed the movement behind her, turned around, puffed out her proud chest, looked at Rhett who had stepped into the door, and asked:

"What...can you do for me?"

Lei Te glanced at the room briefly, met the beautiful woman's gaze, and said calmly, "I'm here to return a letter. Well, it should be a very important letter to you."

The beautiful woman walked towards Lei Te with an elegant step. It was obvious that she was well-educated. Her red lips parted slightly:

"Oh? Is it a letter from a large force? If it's about cooperation, just leave your request. I will report it to the top management for decision."

Lei Te was not here to cooperate. He shook his head, calmly, thought for a moment and said:

"Here I have a letter about Saul's defection, left by his pursuers."

The words fell.

The young man and the beautiful woman in red robe in the room had their pupils shrink for a moment and remained silent for two seconds.

The beautiful woman in red took a deep breath, her expression became serious, and she crossed her arms and said, "Saul's defection was well known in the Rem Kingdom. Unless you can produce evidence, words alone are meaningless."

"On December 30, 729 of the Reim calendar, two level five knights were chasing the traitor of the Circle Tower, Saul, and were ambushed in the Dark Eagle branch. They escaped by luck, but their time is running out..." Rhett told the contents of the letter.

Then, noticing the other person's eyes starting to change, he continued:

“In my territory, I found Saul’s relics and the relics of two pursuers—Level 5 knights. The contents just mentioned were all marked on the pursuers’ letters.

Oh, by the way, at the end of the letter, please send the letter back to the Ring Tower, and you will be rewarded!" He did not forget to add the key point.

After hearing the last sentence, the beautiful woman in red robe had some cold sweat on her forehead. It was said in such detail that she was 90% sure that what the other party said was true.

The only thing missing is the crucial evidence, the letter...

She knew very well that this matter was of great significance and she could not continue to interrogate it. Since it involved bloodline potion, it must be reported in a timely manner.

Then he looked solemn, stared straight at Leiter, and said:

"I don't know your identity yet. I just mentioned that your territory is in the Dark Eagle branch? Could it be that... you are a noble of the Kingdom of Jinlun?"

Lei Te smiled faintly and said, “Yes, the earl of the southwestern border of the Kingdom of Jinlun.

Green family, I am the current head of the family, Rhett Green."

"So he is the Earl of the Kingdom of Jinlun." The red-robed beautiful woman thought secretly, with a little more respect in her eyes. It was not only the strength of the other party's fifth-level magician, but also his identity as a noble of the neighboring country. All these combined could not be ignored.

"In that case, I hope what you just said is not a lie. Can you let me take a look at the letter?"

"No problem." Rhett took out the yellowed letter from his arms, and the beautiful woman in red robe held it in her hand and walked to the back.

What was she going to do? Under Leiter's puzzled gaze, the red-robed beautiful woman took the letter and handed the envelope to the young man - he looked less than 20 years old, but he had the strength of a third-level magician.

The young man pinched the edge of the envelope, put it to his nose and sniffed it gently, then closed his eyes and observed calmly. After a careful inspection, he said to the beautiful woman in red robe: "Sister Julie, the material of the letter paper is special, and it uses obscure alchemical techniques. Special means can be used to crack it and peek at the hidden information.

But... I don’t have the ability.”

Julie's eyes flashed with realization, and then she smiled and praised: "Well done!"

After taking the envelope back, he turned to Lei Te and said, "In that case, Earl Lei Te, please come with me to the Ring Tower."

Rhett hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Under the surprised and curious gazes of some people in the market, Rhett and Julie walked side by side, with Huo Ge on Rhett's right hand side, sticking obediently to Rhett's arm.

Following a three-meter-wide path in the Star-Moon Forest, Rhett successfully arrived at the base of the circular tower.

Even though no irrelevant people dare to come here normally, there are patrol teams composed of knights and magicians around, patrolling at fixed times, fixed points and fixed routes. There is no four corners, including the sky.

Rhett looked up and saw even a few flying monsters carrying people flying around. They were obviously part of the patrol.

He couldn't help but sigh that the Ring Tower was very powerful and he wondered when his territory would be able to develop to this level.

Soon, Julie took Rhett into the first floor area.

With her position and authority, she can only bring people here. If she goes any deeper, she will have to report it.

So she said to Leiter, "Wait here for a while, I'll go upstairs."

Ten minutes later.

Thump thump thump

A burst of hurried footsteps came from the corner ahead, the sound of someone walking down the long wooden stairs.

Julie waved to Lei Te with anxiety and joy: "Mr. Lei Te, please follow me. Master Niru said he wants to see you."

As soon as the words fell, the guards in the entire hall, the alchemists who were in a state of contemplation, and others were awakened one after another.

Just because the four words "Master Niru" carry so much weight!

In the Ring Tower, he is the second most important person after the Sanctuary.

Everyone looked at Lei Te with eyes full of scrutiny, curiosity, and envy. He must have some extraordinary qualities to be received by Master Niru.

If they had this opportunity and received guidance, they would definitely make gratifying progress in alchemy.
