Chapter 436 I don’t want to give the money, but I want the goods

With the entry of the Shadow Faceless Man, Li Zhongren strolled in the Mithril Raven Harbor. With the help of the mysterious man entry, no one could see him because he was wandering in the shadows of other people and buildings.

To be honest, this perspective is quite interesting. In his eyes, the whole world is foggy. The colors of all the people, buildings, and even the sun in the sky are the opposite of normal colors.

A dark, dazzling sun.

Then, there are fluctuations around.

Most are off-white.

Occasionally, red dots of light appear.

The bigger the spot of light, the bigger the secret organization the person belongs to.

But what’s interesting is that the Secret Guard Party is not really a secret organization. Li Zhongren, who is skilled and courageous, took a tour of the Secret Guard Party’s headquarters and found that most of the people there were not red dots, but some had red dots.

I think these people should be traitors undercover in the Secret Guard Party.

But it has nothing to do with him.

He has no sense of involvement in the empire of this world.

I can't say I like it, but I don't really hate it either.

But indifference.

Of course, if there is a conflict of interest, then there are enemies.

But then again.

He lived an ordinary life in this world for 19 years, and at least his life was stable.

He has to be grateful for this.

If this were the ancient medieval world, I might not even live to adulthood.

The system has never been a problem.

If the emperor is wise and powerful, the people can live a good life even under the imperial system.

If the ruler is incompetent, even the so-called separation of powers will ultimately be nothing more than deceiving oneself.

Therefore, he would not take the initiative to disrupt the order of the empire. Although the lower class people now have no so-called human rights, at least they will not starve to death and have a roof over their heads.

Unless there is a better system to replace the imperial system, such as a wise and powerful man who comes from heaven and brings a completely new order, otherwise, at least Li Zhongren feels that it is better to maintain the status quo.

But he himself is not that kind of material, and he has no interest in being a ruler.

Once upon a time, he was an ordinary person. He just lived a good life like any other person, eating and waiting to die.

Now that he has power, he wants to travel around and do what he wants.

Yes, this last one is the key point.

When you have no strength, do nothing.

Having the power but doing nothing.

Wouldn't that be a waste of power?
"Eh? Found it."

Mithril Raven Port is not small. After all, it is a huge port city with winding rivers inside, connecting all directions.

So, it took Li Zhongren three full days to find a huge red dot.

When I got closer, I saw that he was the owner of a shipping company.

Although he has not been replaced yet, Li Zhongren believes that this guy is most likely a subordinate of the Plague Baron.

"let me see."

Right now, the boss is drinking coffee in his office.

Looking at the rain outside the window.

Li Zhongren came behind him silently.

Mysterious arrival
The so-called lion fights the rabbit and dominates the world.

He did not dare to take this huge red dot enemy lightly.

So, I used the ultimate move at the beginning.

The mysterious figure in black descended upon the office. Moreover, this move had another peculiarity, that is, there was a barrier within the descending area, and no one outside knew what was happening inside.

"who!!"

The shipping company boss' body suddenly revealed a bloody fighting spirit!

This is the oldest supernatural system in the world.

However, it is also the most solid extraordinary system.

"It was a close call. Fortunately, I didn't let my guard down."

Li Zhongren narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the boss of the shipping company who was rampaging in the mysterious interior.

I couldn't help but sigh secretly.

If there was no barrier, this guy who looked like a king's truck would probably make enough noise in the first place and even escape from here.
"What on earth is this?"

Francis tried to control his emotions.

The giant sword in his hand, wrapped in blood-colored fighting spirit, was like a torch, illuminating the surroundings.

Unfortunately, it was foggy everywhere.

No sound.

There is no light.

It seemed as if he had no sense of touch.

Moreover, his huge sword slammed violently on the ground with fighting spirit.

With his strength, he could easily punch through the floor with one strike.

Unfortunately, there was also no sound.

Not to mention being destroyed, there wasn't even a sound.

"I've been discovered"

This was his first thought.

Moreover, the people who took action should be the top leaders of the empire.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a powerful force.

Thinking of this, Francis' heart sank to the bottom, and for a moment, all kinds of thoughts were flying around.

He was a participant in the Alchemist Baron's attack on the imperial capital.

However, his purpose is different from that of the Alchemist Baron. That guy is just a madman.

What I care about is the benefits.

Yes.

The Alchemist Baron's attack on the imperial capital was not a random terrorist attack, but a premeditated attack. It looked like a terrorist attack, but in fact, it was for one thing.

Everyone says, one person, one person.

A girl.

Imperial Count, Adolf's youngest daughter.

Of course, outsiders don’t know about this.

why?

Because his daughter is a rare thing.

Strange objects are a general term for a certain type of items in this world.

Strange items.

Strange abilities.

As for why people call it a strange thing.

This is because people who possess strange abilities will also undergo changes themselves.

For example, the earl's daughter looks like a doll.

literal meaning.

An unknown force infected her body and turned her into a puppet.

So, it could be for face, it could be to protect his daughter, or it could be for some other reason.

Outsiders don't know about this.

Even after this attack, this matter was not exposed.

Now that someone with such terrifying power has found me, does it mean that the entire plan has been exposed?

Think about it this way.

Suddenly a feeling of fear filled my heart.

Although, Francis dared to cooperate with the Alchemist Baron.

But the prerequisite is that the Alchemist Baron himself has a rare item in his hand that can prevent himself from being discovered by the Empire.

"What the hell!"

At this moment, Francis felt a little regretful, but he also knew that this was the path he had chosen, and it was useless for him to regret.
"Fight!!"

"interesting."

Li Zhongren looked at Francis as if he were a bystander. The other party's emotions were like peeled garlic cloves, placed in front of him. At the same time, he could also feel the horror of his mysterious advent skills. The other party was also puzzled. The stronger he was, the more powerful he was.

Moreover, this kind of power is like a snowball.

It would trigger the flywheel effect. Normally, his mysterious transformation could only last about a minute, but now, the fanciful thoughts of this guy who had cultivated his fighting spirit to the extreme had actually smoothed out the events he had consumed. In other words, as long as he kept thinking, he could actually exist forever.

Then comes ability.
Whatever abilities the other party imagines you have, you can use those abilities.

"Eh? What kind of ability is this?"

Francis was completely anxious, and he wasted his fighting spirit like he didn't care about his life, trying to break the seal.

However, his extreme state has become a mysterious food, which only makes him more powerful.

At the same time, because of his fantasies, Li Zhongren discovered that he had inexplicably acquired a temporary ability.

"alchemy"

It is not alchemy in the traditional sense, but the alchemy that can be used in combat similar to the one in "Fullmetal Alchemist".

"Interesting, let me see, this is"

"break down."

“Everything is made up of the most basic particles. Therefore, decomposition and reorganization are the keynote of this world.”

"Come on, let me try."

Li Zhongren clapped his hands.

A huge barrier immediately appeared on the ground. Within the barrier, power surged, and the fighting spirit that protected Francis was completely decomposed in an instant.
"Fuck, that's a lot of strength."

Everything is calm.

Looking at Francis in front of him, with only a head left, Li Zhongren held his forehead.

He just wanted to try out the power of alchemy. If he hadn't stopped in time, he would have almost lost his head.

"Ability, activate"

Li Zhongren no longer hesitated and directly activated the ability of the Shadow Faceless Man.

In an instant, the head disappeared, and he turned directly into Francis, even possessing all of Francis' memories and abilities.

"The purpose of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west was to kidnap a puppet..."

From Francis' memory, Li Zhongren learned the ins and outs of the terrorist attack in the imperial capital.

It seemed to be aimed at the royal family, but in fact it was aimed at the Grand Duke.

As for the method they used, it was actually much simpler and did not involve destroying the encapsulated magic pattern; it was much simpler and more unpretentious.

"An internal response."

No wonder the Secret Guard has no clues.

From top to bottom, they are all other people's people, what can you do about it?

Moreover, there is something weird about this matter.

In the empire, there are actually not many people who can do such a thing.

Could it be that emperor?
Li Zhongren couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

This is his guess.

After all, the ability of that puppet girl is too abnormal.

Sacrifice and make a wish.

This is a wish-granting artifact similar to the Holy Grail.

Of course, just like its name, you have to pay enough price to make a wish, and it is a completely equal exchange.

It fits the characteristics of the Adolf family very well.

To be honest, Li Zhongren even suspected that this doll was made by Count Adolf using his own daughter, otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world.

So, if he were to guess, it was probably the Emperor of the Empire who got wind of this and planned the attack, snatching the puppet away to keep for himself.

Why did the emperor do this?

That brings us to the current situation.

At least, in Li Zhongren's eyes, the current empire is probably heading towards its twilight. Although it is not yet in turmoil, the imperial power can no longer do whatever it wants.

The most representative among them is Count Adolf.

We have money, soldiers and power.

In many things, they were at loggerheads with the imperial royal family, but the two sides had never completely fallen out.

The count holds nearly half of the 108 seats in the Imperial Senate.

Many times, what he says may be more useful than what the emperor says.

So, the emperor must be desperate?

shook his head.

Li Zhongren no longer speculated. They were just fighting each other and it had nothing to do with him.

What he is more interested in now is to find the wishing doll and see if he can get it to the sharing space, maybe it can help other Li Zhongren.

"plan."

Francis' wish was for a long life.

The biggest disadvantage of a Dou Qi practitioner is that, although he has strength, his life span is short. After all, Dou Qi cannot make up for the wear and tear of telomeres, and he will eventually grow old.

So, Plague Baron found him.

Moreover, according to the plan, after he prepared the sacrifice, he could contact the Plague Baron and go to one of his strongholds to fulfill his wish.

"I don't want to offer the sacrifice, but I want the doll."
-
"You are really a man of great skill and courage."

Li Zhongren was leaning on a crutch, which actually contained a special alloy weapon.

Not far away, the Plague Baron was coming.

He was wearing a black cloak, and next to him stood a person also wearing a cloak. Judging from his height, it might be the doll girl.

"No match for you, sir."

Plague Baron looked at Francis opposite him, his eyes slightly narrowed under the mask, and he always felt that this guy was a little different from before.

"In just one month, you've gathered enough offerings?"

"For immortality, I can pay any price."

"If you want to live forever, the number of sacrifices mentioned earlier is not enough."

Plague Baron spoke calmly.

"I can take my time. There's no rush."

"Too."

"Okay, come with me."

Li Zhongren waved his hand, turned around, pushed the door and walked into the large warehouse behind him.

The warehouse was crowded with people who were fast asleep.

These are the so-called sacrifices.

Of course, these people were not prepared by Li Zhongren, but by Francis himself.

He collected all these people through kidnapping, trafficking, and other such means.

There were about four or five hundred people.

And, more importantly, these people are beyond help.

Anyway, they were also being sacrificed, so Francis planted spider poison in these people's bodies.

This kind of worm can reproduce in the human body and feed on humans. Of course, these worms have been processed. They will release a substance to ensure that the person is always in a living state, but in fact, the person is already dead.

Of course, even so, Li Zhongren would not really use these people as sacrifices.

The reason is also very simple.

In the past, I have read many novels about cultivation and it has been mentioned that the villain uses people to refine pills, and the protagonist defeats the villain and eats the pills. In his opinion, there is no difference between the protagonist and the villain.

Anyway, Li Zhongren couldn't stand this kind of thing.

He did not give these people relief, but just used them to whet the Plague Baron's appetite.

"Wow~~"

Walk into the warehouse.

The little man took off his hat.

The long lavender hair fell like flowing water.

At first glance, it really looks like a doll, and even the mouth has traces of assembly.

Only her eyes, shining with light, showed that she had life.

"Then, what should I do?"

"Tell Luna your wish, and she will use equivalent alchemy to make it happen."

On the side, Plague Baron spoke.

At the same time, he stroked the ring on his palm. The style of the ring was the same as that of the alchemy doll girl named Luna.

Nine times out of ten, it is used to control young girls.

However, Li Zhongren did not rush to take action.

Because he had doubts.

Plague Baron has always been a man who thinks before he acts. This time, he actually brought Luna with him. Not to mention, the alchemy doll girl was probably sought after by the royal family. How could she still be in Plague Baron's hands? It was obvious that this guy had betrayed her.
