69. Lack of spirit crystals

"That's great, I said you must be a hidden character, my lord, and that's exactly what happened!" Felder used crude means to slap Li Yi's ass.

However, whether this plan is really implemented depends on the opinions of the other two companions, otherwise it is self-serving, but the life and death of the companions is a taboo in cooperation. How to convince the two accomplices is still a problem, and the goods that the robbers have snatched should logically be returned to the academy.

Dionysus and Andru gathered in the living room of Li Yi's house again, Li Yi slowly boiled a pot of good coffee, and without saying a word, the three of them looked at each other silently at the table, as if they were waiting for the coffee to be cooked in tacit understanding.

Finally, Dionysus could not stand the oppressive silence anymore, and he spoke: "Hey, buddy, what is the order to call us here, has that mission changed?" ”

"Smack!" Li Yi slapped the table, "It has nothing to do with the task, I just thought of some questions, and pulled you over to discuss it, after all, there is little progress behind closed doors, and more exchanges will lead to results." ”

"Every time you chatter, you must have hidden words in your stomach, just say something! Let's solve it together, don't cover it up and stink! "Andelu is still as spicy as ever.

"Hehe," Li Yi laughed dryly, "It's still Lao Mei who understands me and gets down to business!" He waved his hand and continued, "Do you lack spirit crystals?" ”

The two of them were really silent, this problem is exactly their biggest dilemma at present, there are unusual spirits, but there is a lack of spirit crystals, there is no way to accumulate spiritual power, and it takes a long time to recover after occasional training, if there are enough spirit crystals, everything is not impossible.

"I know you have ideals, ambitions, people you want to kill and things you want to accomplish, but without spirit crystals, the speed at which spirits accumulate spiritual power is too slow, and we can't do anything, and those damn aristocratic students we look down on rely on the rich heritage of the family, and it is only a matter of time before they catch up."

"But, where do you get the spirit crystal? Take on these tasks? Andrew asked tentatively.

"It takes four or five days to complete this task, and five hundred white spirit crystals at a time is already a lot, but our spirit can't eat more than this in a day! What do we feed them on? Take what we call talent? Li Yi pointed out the problem - they can't make ends meet.

"So, we can take these tasks, but we have to earn more than on the surface, the so-called people are not rich without windfalls, if you want to make money, don't be afraid of dirty hands, as long as you wash them afterwards." Li Yi said mysteriously.

"You kid got the idea on the head of the academy, right?" Andrew blinked, "You want to kill those robbers, not only to take their heads to receive a reward, but also to take what they have robbed for so many years?" ”

"By the way, that's it, what do you think? Do you want to do this ticket, or do you sit back and wait for the money to come to you? I listen to the opinions of the masses. ”

"Rob! Why don't you grab it? Anyway, it's all the stuff that these robbers didn't work for, and we just use it. "Dionysus is clearly looking at Li Yi's horse,

"What's the point? It's like someone stole something from the academy, and we killed the thief and took the thief's stolen goods. We are thieves at heart! Andrew snapped.

"Hit the nail on the head!" Li Yi clapped his hands and applauded, "If it weren't for this problem, I wouldn't have called you over, how can I get the stolen goods and justify the name?" ”

"Then we quietly went to take this wealth, that is, not to let others know." Dionysus suggested.

"This is nonsense, the task we received, the robbers we killed, can't get out of it, sooner or later they will be found out, isn't it easy for a top force like Sky Academy to check something?" Li Yi waved his hand, "

We want to let the academy know that we took it, but we want to take it so that others have nothing to say. ”

"I've got a great idea, don't you think it's okay?" Andelu frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Pretend to be seriously injured, we will escort the goods, there are robbers coming, we meet the enemy, Dionysus was seriously injured in the battle, and then we avenged our brothers, followed the enemy's traces all the way, surrounded and suppressed them all in their lair, and the captured booty will naturally become this kid's recuperation fee, anyway, he has ancient witch spirits, I heard that the ancient witch clan are all potion masters and spell masters, and it should be no problem to disguise you as a serious injury." ”

"However, the academy will definitely see it too!" Dionysus thought it was still not possible.

"If we embezzle this batch of wealth, the academy will definitely punish us, not because of how important this batch of goods is to the academy, but because we have no reason to swallow them, and now that we have the reason to compensate for the damage, it is justified in reason, and the academy will not bother with us because of this little thing." Andrew explained.

"This is indeed a good idea, then this matter is considered to be a consensus, now we have to plan it well and make careful calculations," Li Yi rolled his eyes and said: "Leave this matter to me, after all, I proposed this resolution first." ”

"Well, when it comes to speculating on other people's psychology, we are indeed inferior to you in careful calculation." Andru admitted, and Dionysus agreed, and the matter was settled.

Li Yi poured them coffee, and the three of them drank it silently and went back separately.

"This is the first event I have planned, and it is very difficult and dangerous to do it well so that my peers will trust me in the future. But with Isabella's advice, it's much easier. Li Yi smiled and looked at the three-colored rose pupils dancing in the room.

She occupies a room filled with all sorts of strange things, such as glittering pebbles, small cards painted with colors, preserves, and crystal bottles. The walls were also painted with colored acrylic to create a mimicry of the deep sea, and even a fantasy of tropical fish was arranged.

Felder didn't have this treatment, anyway, he didn't like to stay indoors, and spent most of his time squatting in the yard thinking about life, even when it rained, and the birds thought he was a lifeless stone, and they all stopped on his mossy iron shoulders, which was a unique character. Li Yi heard that the thorn bird in Andelu likes to bury its head in the soil and wait for it to sprout, compared to this, Felder is still relatively normal.

His eldest brother Edmund hasn't seen it for a few days, it is estimated that there is something in the inner courtyard, the Sky Academy is divided into an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard, deep into the academy, after passing the teaching area, there is a heavily guarded sand area, the dense barbed wire fence isolates the outside world, behind the sand area is the inner courtyard of the academy, a place that is extremely mysterious in the mouths of students, even the teachers of the academy are secretive, there is the real core of the academy. Speaking of which, Li Yi didn't know who the principal was from the beginning of entering this academy to the present.

Li Yi temporarily worked in his library, and of course the academy also paid a good salary, three hundred white spirit crystals a day, it is estimated that Edmund helped him in it to let him have this errand, and now Felder and Isabella ate it again.

The next day, the convoy set off, four jujube horses pulled by mahogany boxes, the boxes were more than one person high, but they were extremely wide, and the outside was nailed with cowhide rivets, Li Yi visually measured a volume of 300 cubic meters, which was filled with medicine. In addition to the gel used for shock absorption, it is also estimated that there are 20,000 potions, and 20,000 elixirs are 20,000 white spirit crystals, that is, 1,000 blue spirit crystals, which is really a huge amount of money.

"I don't know how many wagons of medicinal herbs the robbers robbed." Li Yi pondered.

Opening from the east gate of the Red Rock City-State, the Ike City-State in the southeast is the destination, and there is a large area of mountains and wilderness in the middle, and the robbers hide in the depths of the wilderness and fight guerrilla warfare with the Academy, which is very cunning.

In addition to Li Yi, the team also has ten porters and a captain, the porters are all ordinary young adults, the captain is a middle-aged man named Juan, a blue-level explorer, he rides a tall black horse, has a big beard, orange and yellow, looks like a clump of corn whiskers, looks bold, wearing a leather robe.

Now it is late autumn, the red leaves are scattered, the sky is high and blue, the field of vision can be seen far away, the woods seem sparse, the birch leaves are all yellow, and the distant morning light passes through the woods and falls on Li Yi and others. In the morning, the ground was covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and the weather was extremely cold.

"In case of defeat, give up the goods and run away, although these robbers are extremely vicious, they are also afraid of the Sky Academy and dare not kill them." Juan let out a white breath, and his thick beard was stained with ice ballast, and he was explaining the situation on the road to the three escorted explorers.

"I heard that there are four robbers, each of whom has one or two D-class spirits, Uncle Juan, do you think they will add more manpower?" Li Yi sat on the roof of the car, lowered his head and asked the captain of the carriage who was riding a horse on the side.

"I reasoned that it was unlikely, because they had beaten the escorted students a few times before, and they easily got the goods, and there was no need for one more person." Juan thought for a moment and analyzed.

"Well, that's true, so I'm relieved, if there's one more, I don't know what to do!" Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Juan with a smile.

He was secretly thinking in his heart, the first few times he had succeeded, so this time the academy increased the bounty, and the other party would definitely increase the number of people, in order to prevent there from being stronger than before, there would be at least one more robber in the escort team, and it was more likely that there were two more, five robbers were attacking the convoy, and one was secretly attacking, which was an inference, and other situations could not be ruled out. It seems that there will be a fierce battle, and of course there will be some interesting things going on, but it is all in his plan.

Before leaving, Li Yi and his companions told them their plans, and they all memorized them firmly and were ready to go.

"It's so cold!" Li Yi wrapped the raccoon fur coat on his body, which looked fluffy, coupled with his slightly squinted eyes and big forehead, a harmless look of humans and animals, he took out a bag of coffee beans and a bottle of whiskey from his arms, "If only there was a fire!" ”

"Durt whiskey, this is good!" Juan saw the label on the whiskey bottle and said greedily.

"Oh? Is this brand good? From the academy, I don't usually drink much, so I'm going to use it to ward off the cold. Li Yi carefully put the wine bottle back into his arms.

"Haunts? Try my home-brewed apple bar! The kiln was opened in September, and the fermentation was very good. Juan took off the leather pot around his waist and handed it to Li Yi.

"Fruit wine? That's great, I'll change it with you, anyway, I don't like to drink any whiskey, fruit wine is just right for me, when I was young, my grandfather made a lot of wine in front of the house, and sometimes he also made cider, and now I'm in a different place, and it's rare to be able to drink the taste of home. Li Yi said with emotion, and he took out the whiskey from his arms again and gave it to Juan.

"Haha, I prefer whisky, especially this vintage, it's so delicious!" Juan's index finger moved, but it was inconvenient for him to drink on his horse, and he didn't carry a corkscrew or anything with him, so he had to watch it greedily, and took the bottle in his hand to look at it carefully.

"By the way, what's our itinerary? Do you pass through the city-state of Eldesa on the way? Li Yi lay on his back on the roof of the car, chatting casually with Juan, while his two companions rode horses to the end of the convoy under martial law.

"Our route this time is to Versailles first, then turn around to El Desa, and finally to Ike, the mission is complete, these robbers are very cunning, they can clearly find us every time along the traces of our travel, I hope not to run into them this time." Juan said worriedly.

"I have a relative in Eldessa, and if I can go there this time, I can stop by to visit him!" Li Yi clapped his hands and said.

"That's a joy to be!"

"Well, why do you think this robber knows exactly what path you're going to take every time? Do they have a special means of tracking us, or is there something that spies on us? Li Yi thought about it and asked with a frown.

"It's unlikely, after all, everyone is an explorer, and any surveillance spirit is aware of it when it comes close." Juan rejects Li Yi's inference.

"Yes, but what is that?" Li Yi pointed with his hand, and the space only five or six meters away from the convoy blurred, and an eyeball-shaped spirit revealed its figure!

At the same time, Dionysus' grass spirit sheep body Pan instantly activated the spiritual technique, "Parasitism! "He and Li Yi work together seamlessly.

A clump of strange and bewitching thorns enveloped the spirit's body, and it quickly shrank before it could even struggle, losing its breath of life.

The thorn blossomed into a four-petaled blue flower on its corpse, and Pan Huang, the sheep-like man, walked over slowly, stretched out his mouth and chewed the flower, which absorbed all the essence of the eyeball spirit and was rich in nutrients.

"You guys!" Juan exclaimed, forcibly suppressing his shock and swallowing the second half of the sentence deep into his throat.

"Oh!" Li Yi applauded, "It's a reconnaissance phantom, with a very strong concealment ability, and even my perception has been deceived, by the way, Uncle Juan, what did you want to say just now?" ”

"Ahem, I mean, how did you find it, it's so high spiritual affinity!"

"Actually, I didn't perceive it, it's just that it's a little too sassy, and it's just a small-scale weed illusion, and it also conjures up a mole cricket, and in this weather, the mole crickets are hibernating." Li Yi explained.

Juan's face twitched, "You have discovered such details"

"There's no way, the robbers are fierce, we can't do without countermeasures." He happily drank golden cider with some scones while watching the vista as the sun rose.

The golden sunlight is warm and clear, slightly dispelling the cold of the early morning, feeling the eruption of the sun, the streams with a thin layer of ice gradually thaw, the red-billed bird grinding its beak on the sand and gravel by the stream, everything is full of the tension of life.

Towards noon, the weather warmed up a little, and the sun looked thin and weak, emitting a faint white light that almost merged with the sky.
