Endless Debt

Since the rescue incident, life has become calm. There are no emergencies. Even extraordinary crimes are very rare. It seems that all the thugs have escaped from the Great Rift overnight, leaving only the hunters patrolling. of his territory.

Boluogo was very idle for a while, and he felt a little uncomfortable all over. He tried to calm himself down and do other things. For example, he was sitting in the stronghold hut, flipping through the "Golden Discourse" in his hand, and understanding Details of the Threefold Law.

Humans, demons, and debtors are distinguished by the integrity of their souls. Humans have a sound soul, demons have lost all their souls, and debtors have a broken soul.

The alchemical matrix is ​​implanted in the soul, so humans can normally conduct the trials of the triple law and be promoted. The demons have lost all their souls, and the alchemical matrix has lost the extensible cornerstone, so the demons cannot be promoted.

The debtor is somewhere between the two. The broken soul can serve as the cornerstone for the growth of the alchemical matrix. However, due to the broken soul, the cornerstone is fragile and unstable, making the debtor's promotion extremely difficult and dangerous.

Fortunately, such flaws have no impact on Boluogo. As an undead, no matter how dangerous things are for him, he only needs to be resurrected from the dead.

Burlogo's thoughts were interrupted by bursts of snoring. He turned his head and looked at Palmer who was taking a nap.

During this period of time, just as Borlogo had guessed, more and more of Palmer's personal belongings were in the stronghold cabin. First, there were piles of novels under the bed, boxes of snacks and beer. He even brought a tape recorder. From time to time, I would play songs in the stronghold hut.

Hmm...Brogo quite liked this. As partners, the two of them had surprisingly similar tastes in music.

Burlogo was not so rigid. Apart from saying a few words about Palmer, he did not interfere too much. Sometimes he even took the initiative to understand these things.

For example, some novels.

Boluogo rarely reads novels. He spends his free time learning all kinds of extraordinary knowledge so that he can catch up with the knowledge of this era. For this reason, his entertainment is limited to watching movies and listening to songs... If he cuts If the devil also counts.

Recently, when Bologg has free time, he will look through a bunch of novels brought by Palmer. Among them, the one that Bologg cares about most is a novel called "Night Hunters".

Aimu mentioned this book. When he followed Marion on the subway, this novel was also among the supplies transported to the desperate outpost.

Out of curiosity, Boluogo also began to read the story, but due to time constraints, he only read the beginning.

"ah……"

Palmer crowed loudly like a rooster, and then sat up from the bed sleepily. This guy woke up.

The work of the two of them was really leisurely at this time. They went out on patrol twice a day and rarely encountered any special situations. Boluogo was also tracking the traces of the Gray Trade Chamber of Commerce, but it was as if these guys had never existed. Once there, there were no traces. .

Boluogo also asked Yas to see how their progress was, and it turned out that their situation was similar to his. The Gray Trade Chamber of Commerce seemed to have disappeared, and the progress was at a deadlock.

Palmer was the only beneficiary of the stalemate, and the guy couldn't be happier, calling it his lucky day.

"Speaking of which, Boluogo, the Oath Festival is coming soon. Do you have any plans?" Palmer looked at the calendar and asked.

"I don't have any plans... I'm probably on duty here, what about you?" Boluogo didn't have any feelings about the show.

The day after tomorrow is the Oath Festival. It is on this day that Oath City Opos rises on the devastated land. After a month of preparation in advance, the whole city is ready to welcome the carnival.

"On duty? That would be too boring!" Palmer's voice became louder.

"There's nothing to do anyway, and it's okay to be on duty here. Why, do you want to come with me?"

Bologg looked at Palmer lightly. He knew that Palmer was a lazy dog, and he would definitely not do such a thing as being on duty at the Oath Festival, so Bologg took over the job from the beginning.

"Forget it then, I have something to do on Pledge Day." Palmer said.

"What are you doing? Partying with Sere and the others? Or racing along the streets?" Bologg could guess Palmer's private life with his feet.

"How could it be? This is Pledge Day." Palmer protested loudly.

Seeing this, Boluogo smiled slightly and asked, "Then what are you going to do? It's best to make up a decent lie."

Burlogo knows his partner very well. Palmer is a flexible and cunning guy. He is usually passive and slow at work, but when he encounters a fatal situation, he becomes reliable again.

For this reason, this guy often talks nonsense, and coupled with his wonderful childhood experience, it seems that everyone in the Clerks family has some comedy talent.

After a moment of silence, Palmer said.

"I have to make a phone call with my fiancée. She is a talkative person, so we have stipulated at home that she must go to bed before ten o'clock so that I can catch Sere's party after ten o'clock... It seems that you don't either You guessed it wrong, the destination is the Immortal Club anyway."

Before Palmer could finish what he said, Burlogo burst out laughing. He never expected that Palmer would tell such a lie. His partner was so comically charming.

Burlogo's laughter gradually stopped, but Palmer remained serious and became more serious, and the smile on Burlogo's face gradually stiffened.

After a long silence, Boluogo slowly spoke.

"are you serious?"

"What do you think?"

Palmer looked at the embarrassed Burlogo with a smile on his face, as if he had defeated Burlogo in some way.

"No, no, no, how can someone like you have a fiancée?" Boluogo didn't understand.

"What do you mean by a person like me? I am the heir of the dignified Clerks family! It was only later that I became an unlucky debtor. I was so brilliant before!"

Palmer became hardened and yelled again and again.

"Do you understand what a big family is? It's normal to have a fiancée!"

Bologg was silent again, and Palmer came over and patted Bologg on the shoulder, looking distressed.

"Partner, I know your mental state is very problematic, but people can't give up on themselves like this."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"You're too idle. Find a girlfriend. Stop worrying about the devil. There's no future in cutting things like that every day." Palmer sounded like someone who had come before.

Boluogo raised his hand and was about to hit Palmer, but this guy reacted faster and ducked away with a smirk on his face.

"Then I'll leave it to you for the Oath Festival, partner!"

Palmer lay back on the bed, reached for the book, and did not forget to give a thumbs up to Bologna.

"well……"

Bologo sighed helplessly. Another reason why he was on duty was that there was really nothing to do during the Bologo Oath Festival.

He has no family to meet, and no friends to celebrate... In fact, he does have some friends, such as Palmer, Jeffrey, Sere, etc., but everyone has their own arrangements for the Oath Festival.

After thinking about it like this, Boluoge seemed much lonely. After coming out of the dark prison, the whole world changed. Boluoge was like a ghost that traveled through time and space.

Bologg shook his head, trying not to think about these disturbing things. He was an immortal, and long years were waiting for him. If he was defeated by this little thing, Bologg would be too fragile.

"I'm going to see TEDA." Boluogo said something to Palmer, then opened the door and left.

He was going to ask TEDA about his plans for the Oath Festival. If he didn't have any plans, they could step up their research.

Like the pursuit of the Gray Trade Chamber of Commerce, the research on Bologo's Alchemy Matrix has now reached a bottleneck.

At first, TEDA was studying the alchemy matrix of a Glorious One. Xilin almost fully demonstrated this power. Therefore, there was a large amount of data for TEDA to study. But it is different now. Bologo is just a condenser. There is no way to fully unleash the power of the recruiting hand.

This kind of thing cannot be rushed. Boluo Ge can't ascend all the way to Glorious One in a few days. This sounds too nonsense.

TEDA realizes that this will be a long-term job. With Boluogo's promotion, this power will gradually unfold in front of a few people.

Walking up to the experimental area on the second floor, Boluogo saw Aimu who was busy on the workbench. In addition to taking care of TEDA's daily life and some auxiliary work, the most important thing for Aimu every day was to learn alchemy.

Perhaps because of her identity as an alchemy doll, Aimu is very good at learning these things, and during her studies, she can also apply the knowledge she learned to her own body.

According to TEDA, the gelatinous substance on Aimu's torso that imitates skin was made by Aimu himself. In addition to being beautiful and imitating skin, it also has strong shock-absorbing and protective capabilities to stabilize the mechanical structure of Aimu's body.

Bologor paid more attention and saw that Aimu's dark arm gradually became illusory, and even completely turned into nothingness. Like a shadow, she stretched her hand into another fast metal.

This is the first time that Boluogo has seen these. He is not sure what this is, but Boluogo guesses that this should be Amu's "secret power". She can be regarded as an alchemical weapon with self-awareness, so she Some strange abilities are actually normal.

At the end of the corridor, Boluogo saw TEDA. The two nodded, then stood together and looked at Aimu who was busy on the workbench behind the safety glass from a distance.

"She likes alchemy very much. Just like us humans pursuing our own souls, she is also studying where she comes from."

There was some philosophy in TEDA's words, but Boluogo didn't think so. He shook his head.
