Chapter 27: Conspiracy and Black Market

This kind of thing would happen from time to time.
It usually happened to Magi who were stuck in their realms, reached the end of their lives, desperately craved power, or had their loved ones or children die.
The Evening Bell Church was somewhere in between. They sought the power of dusk, claiming to be searching for the truth in the dusk!
Padoron’s United Magi Association didn’t care about such borderline behavior. As long as one didn’t believe in the God who controlled dusk, promoting a certain term would not be rejected.
Similar ones included the sun, night, life, death, and so on.
In the beginning, Magis relied on the corresponding Gods to control this kind of power.
Through dissecting, understanding, and exploring the principles at the molecular level, they imitated and ultimately brought forth new ideas, using what they had to release new power.
Dusk was one of the powers of the ancient Gods.
The Evening Bell Church’s slogan was great and all, but their actual use of the power of dusk was almost negligible. It was considered a small fry, not worthy of being monitored by Padaron’s Magi Association Headquarters.
Today, in a manor of the Evening Bell Church, three official Magi had secretly gathered.
The leader’s face was covered with pale and delicate snake scales, just like the deceased Sala. If Lin Suo saw him, he would be 99% sure that this person was the mastermind.
Among the bloodline modification plans, the gentler ones used Meditation Techniques, while those who wanted to get quick results would simply change their blood and marrow while using spells to reduce the rejection reaction. The side effects were relatively large and there was a chance of death.
This person was obviously using a gentler method.
As an official Magi, cultivating bloodline modification would not cause any changes in the spirit and soul. It would only change the physical body.
One would need the corresponding resources.
For example, the monster, Moon Snake!
The three of them who were gathered at night more or less had some strange parts on their bodies.
One had an extra pair of arms, while another had an extra tail.
The leader said in a low voice, “Sala is dead. The Moon Snake Meditation Technique was taken away by someone and I can’t sense it anymore. Even its smell has disappeared.”
The four-armed Magi was probably from the school of charms.
His throat had also been modified, making his voice hoarse and unlike a human’s.
“The death of the Moon Snake… When did this happen? Did something happen to the Deep Sea Rulai? Right, where’s my Swamp Lizard? According to the time, they will break through to become advanced apprentices in the next few days and meet the requirements for harvesting. Since something has happened at this critical moment, could it be the people from Marine College?”
The leader frowned in confusion.
“Your Rulai and lizard are both fine. The culprit shouldn’t have only attacked the Moon Snake.”
“Hiss~ Did you offend anyone recently?”
“Repa?”
“It should be him.”
“Humph, damn it. Isn’t he just a descendant of the Behemoth family of the North Sea? How dare he be so arrogant.”
“I heard that Reipa has a younger sister, and she’s currently rushing to Koster. I remember that the underground of the Salt Marsh has monsters… ”
“You mean the nest with venom and wyrms?”
“Indeed.”
“Hmph, then let’s have a match with him. Do you have any advanced apprentices that have yet to be exposed?”
“Hmm…”
“Don’t look at me. I only have more than 300 rats left. They’re all advanced goods. I can’t use them recklessly.”
“A thousand magic stones.”
“Keke, I have a snake demon, advanced…”
Under the night sky, three official Magis were plotting against a Magi from a prominent family.
In the city, in the bedroom on the third floor of Rhine Bookstore, Lin Suo held the Moon Snake Meditation Technique that was tightly wrapped in earth crystal liquid.
After the liquid solidified, it was like see-through amber.
As he had sufficient materials, Lin Suo painted every page with crystal liquid.
He flipped through the book slowly.
Ever since he had started synthesizing the earth crystals, he had taken some time to go outside the city and dug out the Moon Snake Meditation Technique again.
After painting it with crystal liquid, he began looking into it.
After all, it was an official meditation technique. It was a pity to leave it buried just like that.
Therefore, he dug it out again and usually placed it in a small cubicle on the first floor of the basement.
It had been more than half a month since his last breakthrough.
The underground space was perfectly covered with a layer of earth crystal liquid, eliminating the hidden danger.
Mud Stone Conversion breakthrough +1, and had been upgraded from white to green.
Sure enough, there were new ways it could be used.
A large number of lines and mysterious magic patterns appeared in the spell model in Lin Suo’s mental power space. The “countdown” when casting spells had been abandoned and he had reached the point where he could instantly cast any spell he wanted to.
The +1 extension spell was the Earth Spear or better described as earth spikes. Some were made of mud while some were made of stone, and they protruded out of the ground. They were all controlled by his thoughts.
Other than thorns, the Earth Spear could also be shaped into swords, bricks, horses, and so on.
As long as there was magic energy in the air, the spell could be cast.
Therefore, Lin Suo developed stone walls, mud arrows, and others. It was just that they were all shot out from the ground and could not be used when he went to sea.
He had done a lot of experiments in this area, and the conclusion was unquestionable.
He was not afraid of the spell having drawbacks for the time being, but he was worried that when the spell reached +5, it would have other drawbacks. Either way, he could take it slowly now since there was no hurry.
He was quite awesome too, having developed a construction site spell into an all-rounded spell that could attack, defend, group attack, and kick ass.
The development of his spells was on the right path.
Now, the second month’s profit from selling antiques was about to be transferred into his account, and he could start learning his second apprentice-level spell.
With this, it was only a matter of these few days before he became an intermediate Magi apprentice.
Lin Suo put down the Moon Snake Meditation Technique.
For the time being, he did not want to practice this. After all, Magis could only use one Meditation Technique, and it was difficult to even change it, let alone cultivate more than one at the same time.
If he wanted to fuse them, the most stable way was to fuse the same kind of techniques. Fusing meditation techniques and breathing techniques was not reliable at all.
Therefore, he had to wait until the Round Pupil Meditation Technique reached the red grade.
Then, he would try to cultivate the second meditation technique. If it didn’t work, he would think of another way.
Following this, he went downstairs, then made himself dinner and ate it clean.
After that, Lin Suo put on his disguise, which included the human skin mask, black robe, odor-eliminating powder, concealment powder, Fainting Agent, and so on before going out.
He went straight to the black market that a scoundrel friend had introduced him to seven days ago.
Sewer Black Market.
It was jointly established by the well-known rouge Magi and advanced Magi apprentice, Udil the Violent Bear, who was skilled in the transfiguration charm of becoming a brown bear, and Marian, an advanced Magi apprentice who was proficient in making magic potions.
The former was in charge of martial strength, while the latter was in charge of deploying magic potions that were attractive enough to gather the rogue Magis from Koster and the nearby towns to come and trade.
There weren’t many people in this black market, only about a hundred of them.
Most of the transactions were done through barter.
Ever since he learned about this place, Lin Suo’s Enlightenment Reagent had come in handy.
They were selling crazily in exchange for all kinds of extraordinary materials and magic stones in the Magi world.
His current net worth was over 20 magic stones, making him the upper class among poor farmers.
The most attractive thing about the Enlightenment Reagent, other than its effect of enlightening ordinary people, was that it could speed up meditation and cultivation.
Lin Suo lifted the tent that was set up next to the wall and said in a hoarse voice, “Ms. Marian, this batch has a total of 30 bottles of Enlightenment Reagents. The same price?”
“Sure.”
Marian looked like a white-haired old Dandong granny with a single horn on her head, probably due to the mutation of her Meditation Technique.
Seeing that Lin Suo had come to sell goods for the third time, she could not help but ask, “Sir, are you really not selling the formula for the Enlightenment Reagent?”
