Chapter 103

Golden Council Written by a legendary alchemist, Albert Flamel. The process has not been fully announced, but Albert did place himself in an alchemical vessel, then ended his life, obliterated his own spirituality, and in this way completely sacrificed himself to Sage's Egg. But Albert did not die. He was "reborn". When he opened his eyes again, he was as pure as gold, and he was promoted to the next stage. Even his completely lost spirituality was completely replenished, and everything was like a new life. This is known as "Golden Rebirth" in the history of alchemy. The emergence of miracles must be accompanied by reproduction. Many years later, another alchemist performed a ritual similar to Albert's, "killing" himself, and then "reborn" himself to complete his path to advancement and spiritual redemption. But with more and more imitators coming, more losers are coming. "Golden Rebirth" is not a perfect promotion ceremony. On the contrary, because it will try to make up for the loss of spirituality during the promotion process, promotion using this ritual is more likely to fail than ordinary rituals. Once it fails, it will inevitably lead to death, without any struggle. Later generations of alchemists could only try to separate its two functions of "promotion" and "spiritual replenishment", eliminating the "promotion" that was easier to replace, leaving only the ability of "spiritual compensation", and the result was Rebirth Pebble. Rebirth Pebble can be regarded as an alchemical item, or some kind of portable ritual that can be carried around and used once. Its function is to reproduce an imperfect "Golden Rebirth" ritual and restore the spirituality of the ritual performer to the state at the time of birth. Because spirituality is related to the success rate of promotion, all extraordinary beings are eager to possess Rebirth Pebble, especially those who have failed to advance or have lost their spirituality through rituals and spells. But with the end of Silver Age, the group of alchemists headed by Platinum Council who could refine Rebirth Pebble withdrew from the stage of history, and the refining techniques and formulas of Rebirth Pebble were also cut off. Rebirth Pebble has also changed from "very expensive but you can get it by any means" to a cherished thing that needs one less. Even ordinary people will lose their spirituality over time while living in the world, while extraordinary people will lose a small amount of spirituality by casting spells, being promoted, using extraordinary skills, and even taking magic potions and reading mysterious books. No extraordinary person can refuse Rebirth Pebble. That's why Wolf Leader was so excited after hearing what Bai Lu said about Rebirth Pebble. With enough desire, people will abandon reason, especially beasts. Li Wen looked calmly and used Mind Talk to spread the message: "I don't need anything, I only need your friendship, or your Wolf Pack Club's friendship." Friendship? How could there be such a thing among extraordinary people? Wolf Leader sneered at this, but it would never show it. It looked at Bai Lu seriously and enthusiastically, its arrogant and cruel expression slightly restrained. "As long as you tell me the information about Rebirth Pebble, you will be the most distinguished guests of Wolf Pack Club, no less than Director Jeffrey, Count Lagoven and Master Belfield." Wow, that's really cool! Bai Lu thinks it's good to just listen to such unnutritious words, but it would be too stupid to believe it. Then she heard Li Wen's answer. "Tell it that Rebirth Pebble will appear in Black Raven Port one night after today." No, are all your NPCs so honest? Bai Lu was stunned for a long time, and then realized that there was definitely a scam! She felt more at ease after thinking this way, and relayed: "Rebirth Pebble will appear in Black Raven Port one night after today." "Black Raven Port?" Wolf Leader's feverish and excited brain suddenly calmed down, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on it on a snowy day. Black Raven Port, that is an important port controlled by the Investigation Bureau. Generally speaking, Wolf Pack Club must never reach out there, unless they don't want to hang around in this city. But if it concerns Rebirth Pebble...Wolf Leader carefully thought about the rationality of this matter. The refining techniques and formulas of Rebirth Pebble have long been discontinued, and what remains in the world today is undoubtedly the legacy left by Silver Age. In recent days, it has also heard some big names mention that Royal Fleet of Arthur discovered a seabed ruins when they opened up the open sea. It is said that the history of the ruins can be traced back to Silver Age. If Royal Fleet unearths any important treasure from it, and wants to send it back to Royal Capital, it must go through Leicester; if it is a treasure related to the field of occultism, it must go through Black Raven Port and be personally escorted by the Investigation Bureau. From this point of view, there is indeed a certain degree of credibility that a piece of Rebirth Pebble will appear in Black Raven Port. But Wolf Leader will not believe others just based on a few words. "How do you prove it?" "No need to prove it, just send someone to inquire about the Investigation Bureau's recent movements and you will know." Bai Lu said calmly. So what if you find out the movement? Black Raven Port is often used by the Investigation Bureau to transport some items related to Evil God, Evil Cult, or Forbidden Ritual Magic. This alone cannot prove anything. "... You can leave, or continue to use your exquisite magic to extract wealth from those idiot gamblers." After a long silence, Wolf Leader said to Bai Lu. ha? Is this the end? Bai Lu looked confused, and she didn't choose to skip the plot. Chapter 106: Chasing Bai Lu was afraid that if he stayed, he would be torn into pieces by the giant wolf, or that the angry gamblers would ask for their money back. She left Wolf Pack Club in a hurry and walked very far along the main road until a voice sounded from behind. "Where are you going?" Under the cold night fog, Li Wen, wearing a cloak, slowly walked over. Bai Lu subconsciously twisted his fingers, feeling uneasy. She didn't know whether she had failed her mission or completed it. After all, this game doesn't have that kind of prompts. "I'm looking for you." She said honestly, Mind Talk's duration has passed, Bai Lu can only use this method to find the other party, walk around Wolf Pack Club until Li Wen comes to find her. Li Wen didn't ask Bai Lu. The other party could have been waiting at the door of the club. "You did a good job." She said concisely, but she was really praising Bai Lu. Then she walked up to Bai Lu, took out the sheepskin map and touched him. "But I feel like I haven't done anything?" Bai Lu was a little surprised, but also a little happy. After all, after playing this game for so long, she knows to some extent that the richness of mission rewards has a lot to do with the mood of the publisher. Li Wen originally didn't need Bai Lu to do anything. After all, she was just a middleman who passed the message. If she could deliver the message, that was enough. As for the club's Pack Leader, believe it or not...Li Wen never wanted to convince the other party from the beginning. Wolf Leader of Wolf Pack Club is an extremely cautious and suspicious extraordinary person. He has never even revealed his true appearance in front of outsiders, so naturally he will never believe others' words. Li Wen If you blindly want to convince the other party, and even bring out various evidences to prove the authenticity of what she said, the other party will only become more suspicious of whether this is a conspiracy. And if the other party investigates and collects clues on his own, and then comes to the conclusion that Black Raven Port will indeed have traces of Rebirth Pebble, then Pack Leader will obviously believe his guess more than Li Wen's one-sided words. You don't even have to wait until tomorrow, the other party will send someone to investigate within this evening. Maybe now, there is already a wolf club
