Chapter 282 The conspiracy has no solution
“I see.”
Salumen looked at Li Zhongren lying there. Although his injuries had healed, he seemed to have temporarily lost the ability to move due to excessive pain. Finally, he discovered the problem.
The other party seemed to have only retained the ability to regenerate. His other abilities disappeared after he arrived at his own magic-forbidden castle.
This is also the reason why this guy suddenly chose to leave after approaching me.
Most likely he discovered his problem and gave up the assassination plan.
“Haha, what a pity, you are still one step behind.”
Saruman walked up to Li Zhongren and looked down at him, looking at the guy who was lying on the ground, struggling to stand up.
“After all, you are still too young.”
As he spoke, he glanced outside the door.
The guards didn’t even notice the movement inside, but that was normal. His castle was impregnable and even had excellent sound insulation. Only he could actively transmit the sound through the alchemical equipment.
However, right now, everything is under his control, so there is no need for him to be too anxious.
It’s not that he’s not careful.
But, since this guy could transform himself into his adopted son and come in, others might be able to do so. If he let another person in, even if he turned out to be an enemy, it might not be safe. After this time, he would continue to upgrade his security system.
“Snapped!”
“What are you doing?”
Looking at the man lying on the ground and suddenly sticking a piece of paper on his legs, Saruman was confused.
“Ninjutsu: Mutual Detonation Talisman Technique”
On the ground, Li Zhongren raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
That day, on the airship, after he and Holo gained power, he directly provided the seal of the Flying Thunder God Technique and left the airship. After that, he reversely monitored all those who had ideas about the airship, and naturally, he discovered the blond man.
He followed him all the way to the castle, ambushed him nearby, killed him, and then disguised himself as him.
However, the moment he stepped into the castle, he discovered that the power he had gained in this world was really ineffective.
To be honest, this still surprised him.
Because this was the first time he encountered something that could restrain extraordinary abilities. In fact, such a situation was rare in the entire universe. Even though there was seastone in the world of One Piece, many people with special abilities could also use seastone.
And in this world, his power has truly disappeared.
But it’s okay to think about it.
Perhaps only in such a world can a balance be established between science, magic, and political power.
This area made of forbidden magic stones is, in a sense, equivalent to a safe zone, which allows a regime to have a stable base and prevent it from being invaded by extraordinary people. However, extraordinary people cannot invade, and when facing a large force head-on, unless they have the ability to form an army by themselves, they will eventually be defeated.
So, the world has five superpowers and a bunch of small countries.
However, the influence of extraordinary people on this world is still far-reaching. After all, even a beggar like him knows that from time to time, a powerful extraordinary person who does not need anyone to teach will pop up in some corner, and the most famous example is Char I.
Legend has it that he was a descendant of a coachman who once drove a carriage for a noble of the previous empire.
I don’t know how, but he reverted to his original form and had golden hair. He was very beautiful, like a porcelain doll.
As a result, she was noticed by the noble at that time, and even though Char I was a man, he was forced to marry him.
Then, Char I awakened his abilities just like himself and killed him.
As it happened, this noble was a relative of the royal family at the time, so he became increasingly powerful while being hunted down, and eventually overthrew the previous dynasty with his own hands.
Therefore, the degree of chaos in this world is much worse than that in martial arts novels. In a sense, it is more like the Fengyun series.
But because of the existence of the magic-forbidden stone, the regime will not be a puppet like the Supreme in Feng Yun.
However, the good news is that this magic-forbidden stone is not accustomed to the power of the other world.
So, he put several bottles of potions in his stomach. Once his body was injured, these potions would heal his injuries. Finally, he took the opportunity to stick this specially set detonating talisman, which had the power to automatically cast the multiplying detonating talisman technique, on Saruman’s leg.
“Bang!!! Bang!! Bang!!”
In an instant, continuous explosions sounded in the room.
Fire, dust, everything was flying everywhere.
Li Zhongren and Saruman were both like rag dolls being ravaged by the continuous explosions.
However, Li Zhongren’s stomach contained a large amount of healing potion.
So, his body cycled between destruction and repair over and over again, but he just couldn’t die.
But Saruman was not so lucky.
His skin had long been burned with carbon powder.
The metal skeleton exposed under the skin was silver-gray in color and looked extremely tough. Unfortunately, under the continuous explosions, these metal skeletons began to deform and break, and then his internal organs. He no longer had any internal organs, and his body was full of machines.
Why did Solomon run away?
Because he thought his brother was crazy and he was a little scared, so he ran away.
Now it seems that this Saruman is indeed a ruthless person. Li Zhongren feels that if the price of a person’s immortality is to become a can and be unable to truly perceive everything in the outside world, he can’t bear it. However, it is also possible that with the advancement of technology, all senses can be restored, but how long this process will take, no one knows, maybe decades, maybe forever.
“Bang!!!”
After the last explosion, Saruman had been blown to pieces, leaving only a head spinning around. Although this mechanical brain had strong defense, it was not made of vibranium after all. Although it blocked the explosion, it could not block the shock wave. Originally, if this place was not the Forbidden Magic Castle, the shock wave could be absorbed through extraordinary hands, but this guy chose the cemetery for himself.
So, Tycoon Saruman has officially become a thing of the past.
“Father!”
“Father!!”
Li Zhongren sealed the scroll with the Flying Thunder God Technique and left, and then Saruman’s sons rushed in. After all, although the whole process was described as long, it might not even take ten seconds in total. After these adopted sons came in, they only saw a mess and a smashed skull.
“Is this their underground library?”
At the bottom of the castle, Ross sneaked in with the seal of Flying Thunder God Technique, and Li Zhongren used this seal to teleport himself over.
At this moment, the situation was in complete chaos.
Just as he had thought before.
Since Saruman could not achieve immortality, he transformed himself into a mechanical being. He didn’t even have a single offspring. So, these adopted sons immediately thought of one thing: who would inherit their father’s property?
Everyone wants to be themselves.
But the final decision is made by fists.
Even though they haven’t fought yet, the fuse of war has been lit.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Li Zhongren. At this moment, he is frantically stuffing all these books containing precious extraordinary knowledge into the expansion suitcase lent to him by brother Li Harry. The whole process is like shopping.
A minute later, he stuffed the suitcase into an inconspicuous corner and went in with Rose. Now, the entire castle was under martial law, and it was estimated that there would be an overwhelming search for his whereabouts outside. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. He would hide here for a few days and study which skills he should put his precious skill points on.
After completing the task of assigning Saruman, his skill points reached twelve.
It turned out that his guess was correct. As his level increased, it became increasingly difficult to obtain skill points.
Therefore, every skill point must be used with extreme caution, unless he can find a way to reset the points.
“It’s magical here.”
Seeing Li Zhongren coming back, Holo came over bouncing.
“It’s like a world, how is this done?”
“I do not know either.”
Li Zhongren shrugged his shoulders and began to look through the books. Then, he sadly discovered that he was damn illiterate.
These books were not written in the Shaya language that he had learned with great difficulty.
“Rose, what language is this?”
“Rune, an ancient language.”
On the side, Ross spoke up.
“Basically speaking, all truly high-level supernatural knowledge needs to be recorded in runes. Only in this way can the true meaning of supernatural means be passed down. After all, ordinary words are difficult to fully express the entire content of supernatural knowledge.”
“I see. Do you know him?”
“Well, each of us has learned runes.”
“Then, teach me the Runes.”
Li Zhongren paused for a moment and said, it is obvious that if you don’t know the Rune language, there is no way to learn these extraordinary knowledge.
“Okay, boss.”
At this moment, Rose had already surrendered. In fact, she didn’t have any hatred in her heart. Mercenaries were all about money. She and Holander were just satisfying each other’s physical needs. After discovering Li Zhongren’s thigh, she decisively hugged him.
Especially that strange detonating talisman and this suitcase that seems like an independent world.
All of this proved one thing, this guy was definitely the successful reincarnation of one of the oldest supernatural beings, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to possess these abilities that she had never heard of.
Following a man like this is definitely better than following Saruman.
However, the only pity is that this boss seems to be a bit of a germaphobe, both literally and in some aspects, and he has no interest in himself at all.
To be honest, she thought there was nothing wrong with her looks. She was definitely good-looking and had a nice figure. Unfortunately, the boss didn’t even bother to touch her. Instead, he was very interested in Holo, the washboard guardian spirit.
There was nothing she could do about it.
Few people are born without self-love, but she lives in such a world, and her body is the only bargaining chip for her extraordinary self. What can she do?
–
“City Lord, the news from the front is that the Forbidden Magic Castle exploded.”
“The reason is that after Saruman died, his adopted sons fought for the property. Finally, someone detonated an alchemical bomb, and the entire castle was burned down.”
“what”
Lusen Andrew touched his nose.
“Where’s that boy?”
“No news. According to the intelligence sent back by our insider, Saruman’s adopted sons rushed in after hearing the explosion, but the murderer had disappeared. Currently, the southwest of the Forbidden Magic Castle, Pereira City and its surrounding areas are full of people looking for that kid.”
“The battle has come to an end. Currently, Saruman’s adopted sons and daughters are divided into three factions. Each of them has their own supporters and a certain amount of extraordinary assets. They have agreed that whoever can catch the murderer will have the qualification to inherit their adoptive father’s property.”
“Heh, it’s for the empire to see.”
Lusen Andrew curled his lips.
It is better to expect the extraordinary people to abide by the law than to expect these people to abide by the rules. The only purpose of their doing so is to inherit the property legitimately after the victory or defeat, so as to avoid being exploited by the empire.
“Is there any other information?”
“Yes, our people found some traces at the scene, and after analysis we can confirm it.”
“The other party has a certain ability, or a technique, that can perform tremendous extraordinary acts in the Forbidden Magic Castle. The remaining traces of the explosion show that it is an unknown energy. Unfortunately, this energy dissipates very quickly and cannot be captured.”
“Sure enough, it should be some ancient extraordinary being reborn”
Lusen Andrew had previously speculated that Li Zhongren should be the awakening of an ancient supernatural being, or at least the awakening of the power of an ancient supernatural being. In that era, perhaps some supernatural beings had developed a method to target the forbidden magic stone.
This is not very rare. Mr. Watt’s steam engine and the so-called steam wave are actually a way of using the forbidden magic stone in reverse.
“You guys go look for him too. If you find him, invite him over. I want to meet him. This is a token of my love.”
As he spoke, Lucen Andrew threw out a token. This was the royal token of the Xia Empire, and it had unique energy fluctuations on it.
“Yes, City Lord!”
“call”
With his hands behind his back, Lucien Andrew stood in front of the window, looking outside.
His Majesty the King wants to let the extraordinary people fight among themselves and use up each other’s excess energy, but all this needs an end.
Or it is the anchor point, where everyone should look.
Therefore, His Majesty the King planned to let the mayors of different main cities enthrone a group of extraordinary people and create a ranking list of extraordinary people.
All the extraordinary people on the leaderboard can enjoy the preferential treatment of the empire, but the price is that they cannot refuse the challenges of others.
In short, in one sentence, if you win, you’re up, and if you lose, you’re down.
When he first saw this plan, he couldn’t help but sigh in admiration and was amazed by it.
His Majesty’s move to divert the conflict is really amazing
At that time, all the hatred among the extraordinary people will circulate among themselves. What does it have to do with the empire?
