Chapter 1028: Tracking
“Twenty black gold for a radiation baby? Boss, you are robbing me!”
The shop in the underground world was bustling. There was a shop on the left of Dudian and black mage. Dudian looked in the direction of the voice, the counter of the shop was piled with all kinds of bottles and specimens nailed to wooden shelves. Most of them were strange flesh or some kind of limbs. Some of the bottles were full of human babies.
However, the bodies of these babies were deformed. Some of them had strange hands on their abdomen and some of them had strange mouths.
Dudian saw that Dudian was interested, he whispered: “This person bought the radiation baby. It is a research material for low-level witchcraft. It is one of the raw materials for witchcraft blood poison. The price is very cheap. However, it is a bit expensive here. Generally ten pieces of black gold are enough.”
“The other shops have closed down so the goods here have increased.”Dudian retracted his eyes and asked: “Can the radiation baby be sold for ten pieces of black gold?”
Ten pieces of black gold was equivalent to one hundred gold coins. In his understanding, the orphans in the orphanage were sold for a high price. These orphans lived in slums. They drank polluted water and ate poor quality bread. Their bodies had been corroded by radiation. They were considered as radioactive people.
Black mage smiled, “Most of the radiation babies sold in the dark shops are of good quality. The radiation level is more than 70%. If an ordinary person wants to accumulate the radiation in their body to such a degree, they would need to live in the heavily polluted radiation zone for two to three years. If a newborn baby lives in such an environment, it is estimated that it will die in less than three days.”
Dudian frowned: “What are these?”
“These radiation babies are infected by the mother. Their mother’s radiation concentration is very high. They live in the high radiation zone when they are pregnant so the radiation concentration in their body will exceed the standard and they won’t die.”Dark mage smiled, “Some babies in the mother’s body can not withstand the radiation contained in the mother’s body and die early. It takes a lot of time and energy to produce radiation babies. It is not expensive to sell ten pieces of black gold but twenty pieces is a bit too much.”
Dudian was silent. What kind of terrifying and dark industrial chain was this? This kind of industrial chain was only one of the many products in the shop.
“Did you hear that the camp area was attacked by witchcraft?”
“I have long known. I don’t know which bastard did it. It caused all the shops to close down. The things in the headquarters were sold at sky-high prices. My experiment just reached a bottleneck. I need materials urgently. Damn it!”
“I reckon it was done by some wandering magus. He’s really lowly. The people living in camp are all commoners. If this person used witchcraft on a noble or a rich person, it would be understandable. At least he could earn some money. What harm is there in killing those useless people in Camp? The energy wasted on killing them is worth more than their lives!”
“With such a big commotion this time, this idiot is definitely done for.”
The Wizards wearing all kinds of masks were talking about witchcraft.
Black Mage’s hearing was very good so he naturally heard everything. The corner of his mouth twitched. This was the first time he was scolded by so many people! He looked at dudian and said: “Elder, if witchcraft is found out you can’t ignore me.”
Dudian glanced at him: “Even if it is found out, you have the means to get out.”
Black mage bitterly smiled: “My Lord, you think too highly of me.”
“Can you sense which one is bolang?”Dudian looked at the majestic building at the end of the underground square.
Black Mage’s eyes revealed a bit of seriousness. He carefully observed for a moment and shook his head: “I can’t sense it. There is a strange fragrance surrounding the black shop. I Can’t smell the situation inside.”
Dudian slightly frowned. He also smelled the strange fragrance. The fragrance was very faint but it lingered around the building for a long time. It was like a fragrance barrier that covered the building inside. However, it didn’t affect his perspective observation. However, there were so many people inside. Without Black Mage’s identification, he could only rely on himself to slowly observe the building.
At this time, there was a commotion behind the square.
“Get out of the way!”
“Get out of the way!”
Shouts came from behind.
The crowd quickly crowded and pushed Dudian and black mage to the side of the road.
Dudian turned his head and saw a group of knights wearing black armor. There was a dark red scepter tattoo on their breastplates, they were escorting a black-robed figure who was wearing a fox mask.
“It’s Councilman Bolenke!”
“Why is he here?”
“You don’t Know? It must be because of the incident in Camp!”
“It seems that the rogue wizard will be punished soon.”
The crowd was discussing.
Dudian was startled. He didn’t expect that the latter would appear so soon.
He looked at black mage who whispered: “My Lord, I’m not familiar with this bronk. They are local wizards. You Can’t blame me for this. I have no intention to hide it.”
Dudian made a shushing gesture as he looked up at Bronk who was slowly walking towards him. His eyes flashed as he saw through the mask. He was a bit surprised, the material of the mask wasn’t ordinary plastic or metal. It was made of a mixture of alloy and fiber. It looked like a big net.
From the structure of the mask, it wasn’t just a mask but also a very strong defense. It was estimated that ordinary rifle bullets wouldn’t be able to penetrate it!
There was a plain middle-aged man’s face under the mask. The only thing that left a deep impression was his eyes. They were calm and reserved. It was as if there were two dark stars embedded in his face, the ordinary face was embellished with a unique style.
Dudian took a deep look and remembered the face. He was about to take back his eyes when he saw something. He was startled. The Golden Light in his eyes appeared again. His eyes went straight through the fox mask, his eyes fell on the middle-aged man’s face. He found out that the ordinary face was also a mask!
The material was colloid and very thin.
“Double mask?”Dudian’s eyes moved. His line of sight quickly penetrated into the deepest part of the man’s brain. He quickly pulled back and pretended as if nothing had happened.
“Eh?”Bronk felt a strange touch on his face. It was as if there was something terrifying staring at him. His eyes turned and looked at the people on both sides of the road. He saw many strange masks, behind the masks were expressions of excitement, surprise, respect, and indifference. Many of them had a trace of hatred in their eyes, which he had caught.
However, the feeling of hatred from these people was not strong.
“What’s going on?”Blanc was confused. The strange feeling from before had disappeared. It was like an illusion, but the terrifying feeling was very real. He was secretly shocked, he suddenly felt that the attack on the camp wasn’t just an ordinary wandering wizard breaking the rules. Perhaps there was another conspiracy behind it.
Soon, Blanc walked in front of him.
Dudian quietly watched as Blanc’s figure left. He entered the palace-like building behind the square.
The crowd that was separated from the square once again merged together and dispersed.
“Are you sure that this bronk is over fifty years old this year?”Dudian asked as he looked at the Black Mage.
The black mage was surprised: “Sir, many wizards know about this. You can ask them if you don’t believe me. I have heard about it. If you are wrong then I guess everyone is wrong.”
“What kind of wizards do you have here that can restore the appearance of a fifty-year-old to the appearance of a twenty-year-old?”Dudian asked.
Black mage was stunned. He knew that Dudian was referring to Bronk. However, wasn’t Bronk wearing a mask? How did Dudian know that his face was that of a young man in his twenties?
Soon, he thought of Dudian’s perceptive ability. A trace of shock flashed through his eyes but he quickly realized that he couldn’t let Dudian know that he was aware of this, he quickly took the opportunity to say: “A person in his fifties is in his twenties? How is that possible?”
Dudian looked at his stunned face. He frowned but didn’t say anything. He turned around and walked towards the palace.
Black mage quickly caught up: “Sir, let’s wait outside. It’s too dangerous to enter.”
“I know.”
Dudian went outside the palace. He asked black mage to buy a few magic tools from a shop. Both of them were resting in a corner.
“It seems his identity is true.”Dudian murmured. There was a flash of golden light in his eyes. He saw that the people who saw him greeted him as he entered the palace, the people who were sitting quickly stood up. The people who were standing quickly went up to greet him. Their attitude was very respectful. It seemed that he wasn’t a substitute in disguise.
After Blanc entered the building, he called over a dozen people to meet on the third floor. Dudian could read what they were talking about. They were talking about witchcraft.
Dudian quietly watched them discuss and make a decision. His eyes turned to the eight black armored knights who came with Blanc. All of them were equipped with a uniform lance and waist sword, at first glance there was no difference between them and ordinary knights. However their physiques were quite astonishing. Although they suppressed the heat reaction but the density of bones and the internal structure of the body were all at the dominant level!
Dudian used X-ray to observe the body structure of people with different physiques. He had a set of methods to distinguish the strength of the body from the internal organs. The density of bones was only one of them. He found that people with higher physiques.., the more complex the internal structure of the body was. The number of bones and the changes of the nerves and veins were different from that of normal people. This was the transformation of magic marks.
The higher the physique, the larger the body was transformed.
This kind of transformed body could adapt to the larger area covered by the magic body or even the whole magic body.
“He is also the ruler of the eight guardians. He should be at the peak of the ruler. There are scales growing on the bones in his body. His heart is surrounded by complex ribs. It seems his ability is related to defense.”Dudian’s eyes slightly flashed, even if their combat ability wasn’t as good as the abyss, it wasn’t too bad. If their ability was a bit special then they might be able to trap and kill the Abyss!
“This Bolenke is a member of Parliament but he isn’t from the Abyss. He should be lacking polar ice insects.”Dudian thought. It seemed that polar ice insects were rare even in this giant wall, this also meant that it was extremely difficult for Barton and the others to advance into the abyss.
Two hours later, the meeting ended. Blanc went to the office in the building to correct the documents.
Four or five hours later, Dudian waited for him to come out. He called black mage and left the underground shop with Blanc.
“Master, should we follow closely?”The black mage didn’t see Bronk and the eight knights. He tried to use his sense of smell to track them but found that the smell had disappeared. He couldn’t help but ask Dudian.
“Don’t worry. We will be exposed if we follow too close.”Dudian said. He suspected that Bronk had noticed him when he used his X-ray vision. The latter had ordered his men in the office to correct the documents, he wanted them to pay attention to the people who were coming in and out of the headquarters. In the future they would have to register their names in case someone sneaked in.
“But they have disappeared.”Black mage couldn’t help but worry.
“Don’t worry. I know what to do.”Dudian’s eyes flashed as Golden Light appeared from time to time.
Dudian quickly went out of the manor. He jumped to the roof of the street and chased in a direction.
Black mage saw that Dudian seemed to be able to find Bronk so he quickly followed after him.
Ten minutes later, Dudian and black mage stopped under a tall clock tower. Black mage looked ahead and saw eight figures dressed in black robes riding fast horses, they were escorting a man who was also dressed in black robes.
These people stopped in front of a red wine villa. There were guests coming in and out of the villa.
Black Mage’s face slightly changed: “He is going to blend into the crowd!”
Dudian whispered: “I have locked onto him.”
Black mage looked at him. He saw the golden light in Dudian’s eyes. He couldn’t help but feel a trace of fear.
At this time, Dudian saw Bronk and his eight guards enter the red wine villa. They went straight to the cellar of the villa. It was full of good wine. Ordinary guests seemed to be unable to enter.
Soon, Bronk and the eight guards were served by a graceful and beautiful woman behind the counter of the wine manor. They changed their clothes and masks. They changed into suits, tuxedos and so on.
After a while, the eight guards and Bronk came out of the manor. They mixed with the surrounding guests like successful people.
Soon, Bronk came out with a wine gift box in his hand. The eight guards followed behind him. They talked and laughed like good friends.
