Chapter 83 The ring of secret communication

The sunset droops in the sky, dyeing the clouds in the sky red.

The birds returning home drew beautiful arcs in the sky and circled onto the roof of the stone house.

The castle of West City reflects a ray of sunset on the gray walls.

On a window on the third floor of the castle, bright alchemy lamps emitted from the window frame.

Charzo stood in front of the window and enjoyed the scenery of West City.

In the bustling market area in the distance, rows of lights illuminated the roads at night were lit up, and a faint noise came from the market area, and you could still penetrate into the windows of the castle from a distance.

Mars walked into the house, put down two silver wine glasses on the table, and greeted the junior by the window:

"Xia Zuo, I have prepared some food and drinks. The food here is not as good as the institution, so I can only pick some fresh food to bring."

On the table there was a plate of meaty slices of bacon, a plate of delicious and tender salmon, a pot of steaming vegetable soup, a plate of fresh strawberries, a basket of white bread and two dishes of jam.

It can be seen that Mars is already preparing dishes carefully. Even if the effect of the abscessful potion has not yet passed, he should still eat more.

After the martyr in the city obtains these raw materials, he handes them over to his assistant for pre-processing.

This is the daily life of the Assistant of the City Mage.

Xia Zuo lifted his left hand and relaxed his palm, allowing the suction from his finger ring to adjust his wrist, and his thumb drew an arc to point to Mars at the other end of the room.

Like West City.

Xia Zuo glanced at the dishes tonight without any trace and responded with a smile, "Senior Mars, you are so polite. You are also specially prepared for dinner for me."

Xia Zuo's life and work are quite monotonous. Every day, except for refining poisons and completing orders, he is just accompanying Anru'er, without any major ups and downs.

"If it is determined that the abnormality in the snake cave was caused by those mercenaries - this is very common. You can use this search warrant to summon guards to search their residence."

Mars handed over a manual, then adjusted the direction of the ring, and pointed the only vertical line on the ring towards the fingernail of the thumb.

Mars thought about it and shook his head, and said with his hands, "Your schedule was transferred to the marshal in the city a few days ago. Whether it is you or the poison you sent, it is worth my sudden attack.

Things are put aside for the time being.”

Xia Zuo raised his hand and looked at the patterns carefully in front of him, as if it was an encrypted language.

"This is the decryption method of secret words."

Xia Zuo showed an interesting look, "Senior, tell me what it is. If time allows, I can stay here for a few more days."

"Click."

“It is called the ring of secret messages.”

As long as you find the reason for the abnormality in the snake cave, you can get 20 points.

"I'll dial a few more mechanisms. Suppose there are two enemies..." Mars dialed his ring.

"Well~ That's good." Mars smiled with satisfaction.

He took a ring from the tray.

Mars worked hard for the normal operation of the institution and was often interrupted by sudden incidents that had to run errands, and had to put down the work at hand and run outside West City.

Mars took the last thing from the pallet:

Search warrant.

"Yes, Senior Mars. If I were to search their residence, Xia Zuo raised his left hand and shook his left thumb. "I will contact you with a secret ring first."

Xia Zuo listened to the senior's words, but still felt that it would be better to refine poisons in the school.

Seeing that his junior was a little moved by the emergency, Mars wiped his mouth with a napkin and asked:

"Are you interested in helping me run errands? I happened to have a task on my hands. You have Fengxing techniques, so it's very easy to deal with this matter. Of course, all the points rewards belong to you."

"Qijiao objects learning." Mars smiled and walked back to the table to sit down. "But at least it must be an expert Jijiao objects alchemist to make it."

"Yeah no no no no no."

“I need support.”

"If you know Fengxing Skills, you can go in and search directly. Doing this is more secretive than making the guard search. But you have to promise me that you must have a legitimate reason to do this."

These cunning criminals made trouble for the already busy assistant of the resident mage, and occasionally rushed out of the dark to disturb him from meditation or preprocess the raw materials of alchemy.

If the abnormal situation can be solved, you will get another 20 points.

"Click."

Xia Zuo's eyes gradually magnified and lit up, and he was amazed by this alchemy prop that could convey secret messages from a distance from a distance.

Below the parchment roll, there are several bright red seals with clear marks.

Mars gestured to his left thumb and signaled Xia Zuo to put the ring on.

"Click."

He is still a long way from the ambitious goal of 25,000 points.

In addition to common logging sites and mines, there are more than a dozen collection sites for producing alchemy raw materials.

In the past seven days, I have been wandering in the wilderness that is rarely visited, and I have caught 5 unruly elements, totaling 100 points. Including the 270 points of this delivery mission, the two have 370 points added together.

"Click."

"I will clear away the mechanism of [seeking help]." Mars operated on his ring.

Xia Zuo's right index finger fumbled on the ring and pulled the paddle on a small mechanism slightly.

Two people wearing secret rings, separated by dozens of kilometers, can still rely on the mechanism on the ring to contact them simply.

The collection work was entrusted by the martyr in the city to the Warrior Guild in the city.

"It's so magical." Xia Zuo gently stroked the lines on his finger rings, "What kind of alchemy is this product?"

In addition to managing stable income from alchemy raw materials.

When the alchemy raw materials in the castle accumulate a certain inventory, the marquis in the city will entrust the Warriors Guild to transport these inventory to the Starry Night Academy.

"This ring is something our assistant must wear when leaving the city."

Mars untied the tablecloth at the collar and said, "I'll go to the study and will be back soon."

"At this time yesterday, the Warriors Guild sent a notice letter. There was an abnormality in the snake cave that produced the adenophelin. The day before yesterday, the mercenary who collected the poison glands only brought back half of the number. The snake cave was about one away from West City.

Twenty kilometers away.”

The parchment uses neatly written text to list the identity information of the person being searched, the reason for the search, and the kingdom law on which it is based.

About 5 minutes later, Mars walked in with a tray.

"And you also keep this."

"I'll take this task." Xia Zuo nodded and pondered for a while and said, "Senior, you should have been dealing with this matter today, right? I've delayed it because I'm coming?"

In terms of the speed of points acquisition, the two are not much different.

Xia Zuo read the letter and the contents on the file, and then listened to the other party's narration of the situation in the snake cave, thinking that this task could be taken.

Xia Zuo noticed that the mechanism on his ring that represented his companions to seek help had changed.

"Click."

Mars picked up another ring and put it on his left thumb.

He politely talked to the other party and sat down at the round table.

Mars explained the purpose of the secret ring, stood up and walked aside the table for a half-way walk away from some round tables, "Come and try it out, and open your [positioning] mechanism."

"I guess they're very difficult."

Xia Zuo cares more about this extra income.

Communication techniques at the magic level are of limited use and can only be used indoors. If communication techniques are used to convey letter paper outdoors, a gust of wind can blow the letter paper off.

Mars started with the people and things he met when he first came to West City.

The mage rarely drinks alcohol because alcohol can interfere with meditation. What's more, as the assistant of the magistrate in the city, Mars must keep a clear mind to deal with affairs in the territory.

The rings on Xia Zuo's fingers made continuous sounds, and finally the lines on the rings formed a secret word.

A very slight sound came from both rings at the same time.

He started with the first pattern on the right side of the vertical line and introduced the purpose of each small mechanism one by one.

"They didn't find me."

Whenever he talks about thieves, robbers, and evildoers who fled after killing people, he always emphasizes his tone and confides his inner depression to Xia Zuo.

"Click."

The Warrior Guild will regularly send mercenaries to the collection point to collect raw materials and hand them over to the Warrior Guild, and then the Warrior Guild will hand them over to the marshals in the city.

He translated this secret message according to the instructions in the decryption manual:

"One is a human, the other is a beast." Mars mobilized the mechanism for the second time.
