At this time, Leiter had just passed a tall white bell tower. Without the obstruction of other buildings, he saw the castle standing tall in the distance. He laughed and said, "That is indeed the royal palace, but it was not built by a large engineering team and construction machinery. It only required a sanctuary-level earth-type holy magician to mobilize the earth element between heaven and earth to complete it easily. If you want to change the color or reinforce the walls later, you can find another alchemist."

"What? Holy Magic Guidance can be used like this? What a magical world!" Manu said in amazement. What he saw, heard, and experienced in this world refreshed his cognition again and again.

Rhett smiled without saying anything, and followed the signs all the way, and soon arrived at a shop run by the Bize family.

"Pamei Alchemy House..."

Looking up at the name of the alchemy shop, Rhett stepped onto the stone steps and walked into the bright hall.

"Mr. Vilas!"

Before he had time to look around the store, Rhett heard an enthusiastic and excited voice coming from a young man hiding behind a counter somewhere in the deepest part of the hall.

The young man was wearing a light blue suit and had clean, easy-to-manage short hair. He jumped twice on tiptoe, one hand clenched into a fist excitedly, his body straightened, and the other hand waved quickly to show Rhett his presence.

Seeing this, Rhett guessed that the man might be the genius he had his eyes on, but he couldn't just go up and talk to him at this time - he still needed to collect more information before communicating.

So he smiled and nodded to the young man, but did not rush forward. Instead, he looked around the hall.

This Pamei Alchemy House seemed to be a newly opened shop. Although the shop was spacious, there were not many customers, only about seven or eight people scattered around the counters. When these people heard that the visitor was the chief holy wizard of the royal family, they all shrank their necks, turned their backs and dared not look directly at him, let alone speak loudly.

Several waiters in other stores seemed not surprised by Rhett's arrival and bowed to express their welcome, but no one came forward to talk to him. Only a middle-aged man with a bulging belly and a smooth forehead hurried out of the passage and appeared from the second floor staircase. Seeing Rhett's arrival, his face was flushed and he was flattered. One hand touched the wall, the other hand held the handrail, his two thick legs stepped quickly, the stairs clattered under his feet, and he quickly came to Rhett, put on a flattering smile on his face, and greeted him warmly:

"The respected Chief Holy Mage, welcome to Pame's Alchemy Hut again. Your arrival brings glory to our humble home. Your footprints will inspire us to keep moving forward and encourage every member who strives for this..."

Leiter glanced at the middle-aged man without leaving a trace. He had the strength of a fourth-level earth knight, but his ability to flatter was definitely first-class among the extraordinary people! He wanted to stop him, but he was counting on him to reveal more information, so he had to endure it and stood there and listened silently.

A minute later, the middle-aged man's endless chatter finally stopped. He touched his forehead, licked his lips, swallowed his saliva, and continued:

"Master Saint Mage, your visit this time..."

Listening to the middle-aged man's inquiring tone with a long tail tone, Rhett's expression remained unchanged. He turned his head and looked at the other person straight without saying a word.

Meeting Leiter's calm eyes, the middle-aged store manager felt a great deal of pressure and didn't dare to look at him. In less than half a minute, he was defeated. His shoulders trembled slightly, he swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and said as if he had made up his mind:

"Master Saint Mage, the Hypast you chose is not the best alchemist among us, but he is definitely the most talented one. His work efficiency is far superior to other inferior alchemists. We finally recruited such a talent at a great price. If you want to redeem him, our loss will be too great..."

At the end of the conversation, the middle-aged store manager looked embarrassed, his eyes were evasive, and he didn't dare to face Rhett.

But these words falling into Rhett's ears were like setting off a huge wave, which surprised him greatly! It turned out that the genius he had his eyes on was actually Hepaster? This was really a case of looking for something without any effort. Originally, he was still worrying about where to find the genius mentioned by Vina, so he planned to take a look at Hepaster at this time, but he didn't expect that his predecessor had already taken a fancy to him! "It seems that according to the original trajectory, the chief holy magician of the royal family was the first person to take a fancy to Hepaster. But because he died together with the master of the Ring Tower and failed to fulfill the agreement to send Hepaster to the Ring Tower, Hepaster had to wait for decades before being noticed by the people of the Ring Tower..."

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Lei Te's eyes. It seemed that the alchemical equipment he bought was also intended to be given to Hypast...

So, he made up his mind, glanced at the fat store manager again, and said softly: "From now on, your store will be protected by me. As long as you don't provoke the enemy yourself, I will block all the unexpected disasters."

"Do you think... this is enough to make up for your losses?"

This price is a bit high for a Holy Mage, but Leiter thinks that it is just a simulation, and there is no need to survive here for a long time. So what's wrong with exaggerating and making a big promise?

After hearing this promise, the fat store manager trembled again and looked at Rhett in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes and touched his ears with his chubby hands. If he had heard correctly, this holy magician said that he would protect their store?

Oh my god, this is simply a pie in the sky. There is no time to hesitate. So he nodded hurriedly, the fat on his face shaking up and down, and said loudly:

"That's enough, that's enough. Thank you for your kindness, Lord Saint Mage! This is the indenture to return Hepaster. Please accept it. From now on, he is yours!"

The fat store manager was so excited that he was incoherent. He took out a piece of alchemical contract paper that he had prepared in advance from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

After Leiter took it, he rubbed it in his hands and scanned the contents on it. He learned that according to the contract, Hepaster had to work for Pame's alchemy hut for free for twenty years! Leiter shook his head and decided to restore Hepaster's freedom from now on. Although the alchemy paper was made of a special material and was not easy to destroy, it was easily turned into ashes in his hands.

Then, he waved to Hepast, who ran towards Rhett with bright eyes and excited expression, knelt on one knee and saluted solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Vilas, you are the greatest benefactor of my life. I can never repay this great kindness, and I will remember it for the rest of my life!"

"Haha, get up..." Rhett showed a kind smile, which was very consistent with Vilas's personality. He patted the other's shoulder gently, and his mental power spread out, lifting the other up.

Then he stared at the other person's face and observed carefully. The later Hepast was too old and had a beard, so when Leiter first came in, he didn't recognize that the young man was similar to the later Hepast. But now he looked at him again, and he found that the other person had a high nose bridge and narrow eyes, which was indeed similar to the later generations.

However, the entire facial contour, skin, etc., are quite different. Leiter can only guess that the later Hypast may have used some alchemical methods to fine-tune his appearance...

With Rhett's strong support, Hepaster stood up and followed Rhett outside.

Leiter walked in front, worried that he would talk too much because he had more contact with Hepast in the past, so he did not talk about other things. It was not until he brought Hepast to an empty square and looked at the rainbow fountain in the center that he said lightly: "Hepast, do you want to enter the ring tower..."

"Ahem." Lei Te coughed twice awkwardly. He didn't expect that his predecessor had already asked this question, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Well... I just confirmed whether you have changed your mind. I am still satisfied with your answer."

There was a firmness in Hepast's eyes: "I will remain committed!"

"Not bad, you are worthy of being a talent I value!" Lei Te laughed, patted the other person on the shoulder, and said: "I am also planning to recommend you to a top alchemy project. I wonder if you are interested..."

"It's all up to you!" Hypast replied seriously.

"Okay, follow me..."

One day later.

On the rooftop of the ring tower.

"Villas, I can agree to your request, but I also want to ask you for a favor."

An old man in a white wizard robe rustled in the wind. He turned around and looked at Leiter. His tone suddenly became a little questioning. He asked, "You have the best relationship with the tower master. Do you know where he went?"

Lei Te was standing behind the old man in the white wizard robe. Hearing the other party's inquiry, he was not surprised. He had already thought of a response plan, and did not rush to deny and sever the relationship. Instead, he frowned slightly, revealing a hint of doubt and anxiety, and spoke slightly faster: "Are you talking about Maidong? We met and chatted a few days ago, and when we parted, he said he was going to do alchemical experiments. Why hasn't he returned to the Ring Tower? How can a strong man in the Holy Land disappear?"

The old man in the white wizard robe was the deputy tower master of the Circle Tower. He looked straight at Leiter and said, "In normal times, the tower master can come and go freely. Even if he doesn't come back for a year or two, no one will worry about accidents. But in the first half of this year, he promised me that he would definitely return to the Circle Tower in the next few days. After all, the project related to human alchemy experiments is still waiting for him to preside over. Moreover, he has the crucial alchemy data in his hands. Without him, it will be a major blow to this research."

Lei Te was moved when he heard this, but he was even more hesitant on the surface: "What about the Huilu Kingdom? Could Mai Dong have gone to the Golden Blood Academy? Is it possible that he has made a new breakthrough there and is immersed in it. I think with Mai Dong's obsession with alchemy, it is entirely possible that he would do such a thing."

"Impossible. We have already agreed that whoever has a new breakthrough will send someone to give a brief report. And we also have a fixed exchange meeting every year. It is unlikely that Willas will go there alone at other times." The deputy tower master decisively rejected Leiter's guess, then lowered his head and muttered to himself: "That's strange... Where will Maidong go..."

"Huh." Lei Te deliberately let out a heavy breath and said in a firm tone: "Don't worry, Mai Dong is my good friend, I will never sit idly by! After I go back, I will focus on finding his information!"

"Well...thank you very much. I hope it's not the orcs who crossed the border and launched a sneak attack on it..." The deputy tower master frowned and said with a heavy heart: "Maidong has built the Ring Tower from scratch and made too many enemies along the way. Not only the orcs, but even the alchemy forces of other kingdoms are dissatisfied with him. I'm really worried that he will meet with an accident..."

"Do you suspect that it was an enemy who did it?" Lei Te deliberately asked after hearing the other party's description. But in his heart, he began to wonder if it was Mai Dong's enemy who hired someone to kill him and asked him to do it? As Mai Dong's good friend, he couldn't resist the temptation of profit and stabbed his brother twice...

"If the tower master is still not found, this possibility cannot be ruled out." The deputy tower master said with a grim expression.

"Okay, then... I'll go to some places Maidong often goes to and then communicate with you." Lei Te said: "By the way, when will the next exchange meeting with the Huilu Kingdom be?"

"Just two months later." replied the deputy tower master.

"Wait for my news." Lei Te looked at the deputy tower master and said thoughtfully: "The two people I just recommended to you... I'll leave them to you, especially Hypast, who has extraordinary talent. Perhaps in the future, you will thank me for sending you such a genius."

"Haha, then I'd like to see it for myself." The deputy tower master nodded in agreement, but smiled disapprovingly, thinking that Lei Te was joking. If there really was a genius, the other party would definitely accept it himself. Why would he be so kind as to give it to me? Most likely, he just sent a few juniors to learn alchemy...

Then, the two chatted briefly, and Rhett found an excuse to leave the Ring Tower.

In just a few minutes, they arrived a thousand miles away.

At this moment, he was silently thinking about the information he had just communicated with the deputy tower master. The tower master of the ring tower had lived for more than two thousand years, and he had created such a large force, so it was inevitable that he would be spied on and envied.

However, there may be many people who have such thoughts, but the only ones who have the ability to retaliate and dare to take action are probably the orcs, the Ancient Dan Kingdom and the Ice Kingdom. At this time, there is no Jinlun Kingdom in the world, and the Ancient Dan Kingdom is the predecessor of the Jinlun Kingdom.

"At this time, the threat posed by humans to orcs was not as profound as it would be a thousand years later, and the human alliance was not strong. Could it be that... someone really asked me to take action against my good friend? And I agreed?"

Rhett frowned unconsciously. He despised such people. If his predecessor really did this, he would look down on him.

Fortunately, he did not have any psychological burden in the simulation, and even thought it necessary to test the authenticity of the matter. If this was true, he had to find out the identity of the employer to prevent his own black material from being exposed at any time.

So he flew in the opposite direction of the Rem Kingdom, and planned to go to the Ancient Dan Kingdom first, and then to the Ice Kingdom, to meet and communicate with the sanctuaries of the two countries in person. Whether there was any suspicion of collusion would be clear after the meeting.

Half a day later.

Traveling through the white sea of ​​clouds, Rhett witnessed the rising sun, which removed the darkness from everything in the world. He looked at everything in front of him calmly, but suddenly noticed a black shadow shining in the sea of ​​clouds, emitting a faint strange breath, which was particularly strange.

This unusual scene immediately set off alarm bells in Rhett's heart. He stopped where he was and carefully observed the abnormality ahead.

The shadow cut through the sea of ​​clouds, as ethereal and invisible as a ghost, and moved in front of Rhett the next second. Under Rhett's vigilant gaze, it kept twisting, and finally formed a monster with two wings behind its back, two horns on its head, and its lower body covered with shadow tentacles.
