The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

That is, the crystallization of highly concentrated magic power.

As long as there are enough magic stones, a person without any qualifications and talents can be forcibly catalyzed into a professional.

As long as there is enough magic power, any inanimate thing in this world, every plant and tree, anything, after being infused with enough magic power, will transform into a special item with the nature of a miracle.

For example, an ordinary stone will become a very hard stone after being infused with magic power, and the characteristics of the stone itself will be brought into full play, which is equivalent to strengthening and transforming its essence.

The nature of the magic power of different professionals is also different.

For example, a sword, some people instill magic power into the sword, it will become sharper, some people instill magic power into the sword, it will make it heavier, and some people instill magic power into it. This sword will ignite flames on its surface...

The second condition is a related professional who can make this necklace.

Any profession can make strange objects, but different professions have different emphases. Just like a professional chef, it is easier for him to make strange objects of kitchen utensils, and the quality will be higher. Different professions have suitable The man-made wonder of that career series.

The occupations required for [Guardian Necklace] are occupations with the concept of guardianship and protection, such as [security guard], [firefighter], [doctor], etc. Only the magic power of these occupations can create the effect of a defensive force field .

The third condition is the probability of success.

As for the success rate, which is the so-called luck, the production of strange objects often fails, so that the raw materials and magic power invested in it will be completely lost, and nothing will be gained.

However, generally speaking, the higher the professional level, the higher the success rate and quality of the production, but there are also low-level professionals who are lucky enough to produce very high-quality strange objects.

After meeting these three conditions, there is another key point is the quality of raw materials.

The higher the quality of the raw material, the more magic power it instills, and the more excellent and powerful the finished product will be.

Just like a bronze sword and a steel sword, both are imbued with the same magical power, and normally speaking, the steel sword must be stronger than the bronze sword.

"Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes wants to use gems to make strange things?" Lunier asked.

"It's unlikely... the magic power consumed to make even one strange item is not a small number. If each of the gems stolen by the black hand behind the scenes is made into a strange item, even if it is the lowest level, the magic power consumed It’s definitely a big number, and this kind of thing pays more attention to quality than quantity, and there is also a big gap between high-quality and low-quality gems.” Alonia said.

"Then besides this?" Lu Nier continued to ask.

"In addition to making strange things, some mysterious rituals also need gems as materials and props, but this kind of ritual is rare, and it will not require such a large amount. To be honest, I can't think of how much gems are needed. What to do..." Alonia looked a little distressed.

What Alonia couldn't think of, Lunil couldn't even think of. He didn't think that he had more experience and knowledge on such things than Alonia.

"Then how should we continue the investigation?"

"I don't know..." Alonia lay down on the sofa in despair, "There are no clues to follow at all. How can such an experienced gang of thieves find it if they want to hide?"

Lunier can also understand what Alonia is thinking now. He plans to go to the reformatory later to see what the purpose of [Gem of Misfortune] is for him to go there.

"Jingle Bell……"

Alonia took the phone casually.

"Hmm... um? I see..."

When Alonya put down the phone, her face was a little ugly.

"That Layton, that dog man who robbed the grocery store, went berserk in the prison just now, trying to escape from the prison and attack the investigators, but he was temporarily suppressed, but now he is in extremely poor health, saying that his life is in danger, because we are The person in charge of the case, so you want us to take a look, let's go."

Lu Nier didn't ask any further questions, and followed Alonia all the way to the logistics and medical department, and then saw that gangster Layton on a special metal restraint bed.

He has completely lost his human form now, and his whole body has turned into a beast-like posture, completely like a dog standing up from a person.

He seemed to have lost his mind, his eyes were filled with anger, and he was struggling and roaring on the cold iron bed.

"The whole body has turned into a beast to such an extent, his bloodline awakening degree is not low." The staff of the medical department on the side expressed emotion.

"What's going on with him now?" Alonya asked.

"It seems that I can't control the extent of my animalization, and I have fallen into a state of madness." The medical staff replied, "This kind of situation is not very rare among the orcs, but in his current situation, the biggest problem is not madness. , but weakened..."

"weak?"

"That's right, it's really weird. After we gave him anesthesia, we did a simple physical examination and found that his internal organs are almost like an old man..."

"What does it mean?"

"It means that the health of his internal organs is as weak as a dying old man, which means that his health is like a dying old man, and he is not far from death." The medical staff explained.

"What caused this situation?" Alonya continued to ask.

"I don't know, it's very strange. We also researched and analyzed it. He didn't take any toxic substances, his usual diet is fine, and he doesn't have any obvious symptoms... Maybe it's some kind of special disease that is difficult to detect. It's the most likely guess."

"Then is he still saved now?"

"It's hopeless..." The medical staff sighed, "We found that his organ condition is still in the process of deteriorating. He will become weaker and weaker, and he will be closer to death. Maybe he will die in the next moment. Strange to say, although his internal condition is so bad now, his current body is surprisingly strong. Although he certainly doesn't have much stamina, but in the process of restraining him, he almost injured several colleagues. Orcs of the same level can exert this kind of power with only their own flesh..."

Speaking of this, there was some curiosity in the eyes of the medical staff.

"Ow!"

Layton suddenly let out a long howl, and the iron chains on his body tightened tightly. He arched his body as if trying to break free from the restraints with all his strength, but he still couldn't do it in the end.

"boom."

His back hit the cold metal bed, Layton closed his eyes, and the animalized form of his body began to fade away quickly.

After a while, what was lying on the metal bed was a body that had no heartbeat.

Lunier noticed that Layton's originally yellow hair had turned into a withered paleness.

Like a dying old man.

第 150

Chapter 149 Bright but short-lived brilliance (14)

It is actually a bit inappropriate to use the dying old man as a metaphor, because the owner of this white hair has already died.

But this kind of withered and colorless hair can only be seen on the elderly.

Considering the internal organ problems of Layton, it doesn't seem strange that his hair would turn into this color. What's really strange is that...

Why is he so weak?

No one will harm this kind of small character, and he has had a physical examination, and he can basically rule out the effect of poison. There is no problem with diet. If you don't drink, you won't become like this...

After excluding other possibilities, only "strange disease" can explain why Layton became like this.

Layton's death should not have been a major event, but such a strange way of death made Lunier suspicious.

Remembering the appearance of Layton's death, Lunier cooperated with the investigator in charge of this matter to make some notes on the process, and then left and set off for the reformatory school.

When he arrived at the reformatory, Lu Nier found that most of the children were not as active as usual, probably because of recent incidents that made them feel insecure.

But when they saw Lu Nier, they still greeted him politely, which had nothing to do with Shanila's usual education.

"Lu Nier... what are you doing here?"

When Lu Nier found Li Jie, she was dealing with the food problem in the reformatory today, and she was directing some older children to buy the ingredients for tonight and tomorrow in batches.

"I've come to ask you some questions."

Lu Nier made an excuse. Naturally, it is impossible to explain clearly what [Gem of Misfortune] instructed him to come here.

"Can you wait first? I still have to prepare the children's dinner..."

"No problem, let me help you."

"Thank you……"

Li Jie didn't refuse, and she wouldn't say anything polite.

"I remember that you handle the ingredients very quickly, can you help me with the ingredients?"

"Okay, by the way, I have level three cooking skills, maybe I can cook for you?"

"Level [-] cooking skills?!"

Li Jie was a little surprised. She studied very seriously in the investigation bureau, and she has a certain understanding of the basic common sense of professionals. She knows that skills such as [cooking] are the most complicated and difficult skills to learn. In order for one's "cooking" to be recognized as a skill by the world and reach the third level, except for those chef apprentices who started learning from a young age, they are basically professional chefs who are at least 20 years old, that is, they are enough to be recognized by the excellent The kind that works in restaurants.

In other words, Level [-] culinary skills belonged to the level where one would never be able to find a chef-related job based on one's own ability.

The most basic condition for becoming a naturally awakened professional chef is to have at least level three culinary skills.

"Then can I entrust you with the cooking task?"

In this world, the skills of professionals have a bonus to the result, and the level of cooking skills can directly affect the result, increasing the effect of the finished product out of thin air.

For example, if a plate of [-] grams of beef is used as an ingredient, if it is cooked by a professional, then this [-] grams of beef, regardless of the special effects and taste additions, will produce [-] grams of beef. The energy will exceed one hundred grams.

Although this is not mass conservation, this is the rule imprinted in this world.

Therefore, the status of life professionals in this world is also very high. The music of musicians can really affect people's mind and body, and the works of painters can even immerse people in it, like being in an illusion...

"Of course, leave it to me."

The system rewards are also unreasonable. Rewarding Lunier's culinary skills is equivalent to allowing Lunier to directly master a large amount of culinary knowledge and skills, even without the accumulation of practical experience. He is like a seasoned chef .

"You, go and peel this basket of potatoes for me...and you, chop the minced meat into finer pieces, this is a big stew, don't cut it into such big dices, Li Jie, don't you either Idle, cut this carrot into pieces..."

Lu Nier started to take the position of the head chef of the labor camp, guiding everyone to start cooking. Because the subordinates were very obedient, and Lu Nier was not too picky about their skills, the process was very smooth.

When Lu Nier put the ingredients into the cauldron in order according to the order and heat, and stewed for nearly half an hour...

Lunier used a towel to protect his hands from being burned, and then lifted the lid of the pot.

The extremely strong aroma was like a volcanic eruption, accompanied by hot air, and quickly spread to the entire kitchen, and even the smell began to spread outside the kitchen.

"smell good!"

Several children who were helping in the kitchen couldn't help saying.

"I've never smelled such a delicious stew!"

This strong fragrance seems to be actively rushing into the nose. After smelling it, saliva begins to secrete involuntarily.

This is already beyond the limits of ingredients and cooking techniques, and it is a powerful effect that can only be produced by professionals and the power of traits.

[Grade E trait - Odor Enhancement (Cooking Works)]

This is the reward characteristic after Lunier's culinary skills have been upgraded to level three. Its effect can be seen from the name alone, that is, to strengthen the smell of the dishes made by Lunier. This kind of strength is the whole In terms of direction, whether it is the distance or intensity of the smell, as well as the fragrance of the smell itself, it has reached an extraordinary level.

Because of this characteristic, the chowder stew cooked by Lu Neil had such an exaggerated smell.

"Try it."

Lu Nier scooped a spoonful into the bowl, and handed it to Li Jie under the expectant eyes of the children.

"Ah."

Li Jie took the bowl, took a sip with a spoon, then blew a few times and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Well...it's delicious, it's much more delicious than usual." Li Jie commented honestly, "It's delicious."

"That's good... children, dinner is ready!"

It may be that the stew is too delicious, which dispelled the haze in the hearts of some children.

But Li Jie was not in a hurry to eat. After letting all the children eat dinner, she pulled Lu Nier, and the two went outside alone.

"Lunil, what do you want to ask?"

"Do you remember Layton?"

"Well, what's wrong with him?"

"he died."

Lanier replied.

"What?!" Li Jie was obviously surprised, "Isn't he in prison?"

"That's right, he died in prison. The cause of his death was that he contracted a strange disease, his internal organs continued to weaken, and finally died."

After hearing Layton's cause of death, Li Jie seemed a little unbelievable, but she also knew that Lu Nier had no reason to deceive herself about this matter.

"Then what do you want to ask?"

"I want to ask, how much do you know about Layton?"

"He was also a child in the reformatory before. I remember that he came to the reformatory because his grandma passed away. As for his parents, they had long since disappeared... When he arrived at the reformatory, he was almost the oldest The group of children in my family like to be mischievous and bully the weak. I often stop him from bullying the weak children. Aunt Shanila often teaches him a lesson, and later restrained himself a little. Later, because of his age, Aunt Shanila asked him to leave In the reformatory..."

Speaking of this, Li Jie paused for a while, thought for a while, seemed to be recalling something, and continued.

"I don't know much about what happened after leaving the reformatory. I only know that when he first left the reformatory, he would often return to the reformatory and ask Aunt Shanila for money and lodging. At first, Aunt Shanila would give He had some money for food, but he didn’t continue to give it later, and because of this, he began to hate the reformatory, thinking that the reformatory abandoned him, and began to come to the reformatory often to find work, and after that, you know.”

"Then what do you think about his bloodline awakening? I remember that when he was able to transform into a beast, you asked him specifically during the interrogation."
