He pondered for a moment, calmly analyzed, and carefully considered.
Huai Shi suddenly realized that … What Galander said actually made sense.
After all, he did not need anything else other than the few pieces of reflective crystals in their garage.
Even before he set off, he was already planning to get himself a job in Helios.
No matter what, he was not a good person.
For a moment, Huai Shi's furious expression stiffened. After taking a few breaths, it magically turned into a shy and innocent smile.
"What are you talking about? Everyone knows that I, Huai Shi, have always kept my promises. I am a rare example in this world."
Galander seemed to believe such a shameless boast and did not question it anymore.
"Well, since things have come to this, I believe that you don't need any more pleasing words."
The old man solemnly announced the conditions. "Those who are not willing to help me can hand over the proof and wait in the Leviathan's Son. After that, no matter if you file a complaint or announce it to everyone, I will not defend myself.
But if you can't accept such conditions, you can also challenge me here — "
When he said that, a ferocious shadow slowly emerged behind him. Countless surging waves of Source Substance and complicated arcane rituals gathered in the solemn and cold silhouette, outlining the holy facial features and eyes.
The face that resembled Galander's when he was young contained indescribable divinity and brilliance, eternal calmness, and a faint smile with a mysterious charm.
It was like a statue that did not exist in this place.
The moment it appeared, it made everyone's heart heavy and full of depression. It was no doubt Galander's creation, the divine mark that established the name of the Grand Master.
It was even possible that there was authority hidden in it …
Huai Shi did not feel any premonition of death.
But he could not feel any hostility or desire to attack. His heart was calm and peaceful, so peaceful that he felt a little nauseous.
Even the negative energy engine had stopped.
Only the divinity that Great Si Ming was recovering was trembling violently, resisting the pervasive impact and maintaining its existence. If it were any other Divine Mark without divinity, it would have collapsed and been purified in an instant under the gaze of the sculpture.
The expressions of everyone in the lounge changed drastically, but soon, without exception, they all calmed down again.
It could be said to be peaceful.
Even if he suddenly died now, his corpse would definitely have a relieved smile on his face.
"Any alchemist who is willing to assist in the investigation is naturally welcome," Garland Deon said slowly. "In the meantime, you can ask me any questions about alchemy.
Other than providing the necessary protection, I can promise that everything discovered during the exploration process … as long as it doesn't involve any key items, it will belong to you.
Even if you want to take it back, I will represent the Stonecauldron Society in exchange for it. "
The corners of Huai Shi's eyes twitched.
This old man actually opened a cram school and asked people to work for him. He directly used Helios's money to hire people to work for him. Why did he seem to have seen this operation before?
But it just so happened that everyone was tempted …
It was hard to resist.
The guidance of a great grandmaster and the treasures in the Helios workshop.
The former was absolutely irresistible honey for an alchemist, while the latter was an irresistible temptation for every speculator.
The treasury of the Era of Gods.
The source of all alchemy in the world …
Not to mention the countless precious materials, relics from the border, and even the rare miraculous engravings in the world, even the authority … Even just the items, notes, and works left behind by the alchemists were immeasurable treasures.
Even Huai Shi was tempted for a moment.
But he soon calmed down.
This was the advantage of having the Ivory Tower and the backing of the Stonecauldron Society. After reaching a certain status, he would never lack what he should have. As for more … As long as he was willing to take on more responsibilities, he would be able to reap greater rewards.
There was no need to be jealous of these things.
It was just that he was a little worried about the existence of the Reflection Crystal.
But at this moment, everyone's breathing instantly became heavy. Even the remnant of the sacred charm in the air could not erase the endless greed in their hearts.
Only the old priestess Yima raised her eyes and suddenly asked, "Does the Stonecauldron Society want to completely annex the Helios workshop?"
Galandon did not answer.
He just waited quietly.
"Go, fool. What are you waiting for?" Tongi's demonic whisper rang in his ears again.
But the little angel in Huai Shi's heart was also restless. He nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes."
"Isn't this because I'm afraid of danger!" Huai Shi was alert.
"Are you stupid? No matter how dangerous it is, it's not as dangerous as the Elemental Destruction you have in your arms!" Tongi squinted at him. "If we're talking about danger, I think you're much more dangerous than Helios now …"
What she said seemed to make sense. Roar!
"Besides, think about it. Isn't this pretty good?" Tongi said. "The Stonecauldron Society supports you to dig up Helios' grave. Everything you dig up is yours. Others don't have such a convenient space backpack like you. If you bring a few more backpacks, Danbo's economy will take off in advance!"
The future of the hybrids depends on you digging up graves!
Come on!
The more she said, the more Huai Shi felt unreliable. His expression gradually became suspicious.
But Tongi rolled her eyes at him. "Think about the Luminous Crystal and the other technologies on it. Why can't you think about it? It's just a dungeon. What's there to be afraid of? "
No, I'm not afraid of dungeons … I'm afraid of you!
Huai Shi trembled with anger.
Just as he was talking to Tongi, there were already people who were tempted and got up to sign the contract.
With the first one taking the lead, most of the people behind signed their names on Galandon's contract relic and joined the army of tool men.
Ragna, Valery, and so on were among them.
Of course, there were also people who knew what they were capable of. After signing another contract, they handed over their credentials and got up to leave.
When it was Izzy's turn, the man smoking the cigar looked at the contract in Galandon's hand with a half-smile. "If it's me, forget it, right? I don't want to ruin your good thing. "
Galandon gave him a deep look. For a long time, he didn't speak. He actually acquiesced to him keeping his credentials and doing whatever he wanted.
For a moment, many people showed an angry look, but they couldn't say anything.
After a moment of silence, the old priestess finally wrote her name on the contract to participate in the operation. But as soon as her name fell, it quickly disappeared, leaving only a trace.
That was the divine protection in her bloodline. The divine grace from the cat god allowed her to be free from the restraint of the contract, but she still couldn't get rid of the influence of the contract.
Huai Shi was envious.
Being the nth generation of gods was good.
Even the overlord contract didn't have any restraint.
After all, even Huai Shi's divinity couldn't resist the coercion of the contract.
The moment Huai Shi's name was written, it only lit up a little and then quickly extinguished. At best, it was just a little bit less.
This also meant that once he violated the prohibitions on the contract, he would suffer a backlash.
To a certain extent, Garandon had taken control of his lifeline.
Seeing that Huai Shi was so cooperative, Galandon was stunned for a moment. Huai Shi returned to the corner, smiling and touching the Book of Destiny in his soul without saying a word.
He wasn't worried at all.
No matter how strong the backlash was, it could suppress his Horoscope, but could it suppress the Book of Destiny?
At best, it would be a little trouble.
No matter how fierce it was, could it be more powerful than the thing suppressed in his Ultimate?
As long as I have enough explosives in my arms, no one can hurt me!
After understanding this, Huai Shi's mood became more and more cheerful.
In the end, the people who signed the contract accounted for four-fifths of the original number of people. It seemed that the value of Helios's collection and the grand master's guidance was more exaggerated than Huai Shi thought.
Unexpectedly, the pharmacist Rachel was also on the list of members of the exploration team.
Sweaty and pale, he was shivering in the corner.
But when he sensed Huai Shi's gaze, his expression immediately turned vicious and he looked over with a gloomy expression.
It was as if he was offended.
"Wow, so scary, so scary …"
Huai Shi sighed and shrugged. He withdrew his gaze and looked at the dark space outside the lounge window.
Directly above the Jupiter Demon's Eye, Helios was silently spinning above the storm. His broken body, riddled with holes, reflected the dim sunlight in the distance.
There was an illusionary wail that disappeared in the darkness.
.
.
About a few hours later, at about three o 'clock in the afternoon, the son of Leviathan, who repeatedly wandered around Helios, finally confirmed the damage of Helios from a distance.
"Not only has it lost the parts that have been repaired over the years, but even the original structure has been damaged."
After the projection, Galandeon raised his cane and introduced the situation to the first batch of exploration team members. "The outer residential area built by the alchemists over the years has collapsed, and the production lines on the left and right wings were not spared.
The observation area and the test area were the most severely damaged. The circulation area and the material reserve area are also gone. Today, most of Helios cannot maintain the normal ecology.
The worst-case scenario is that inside the Helios workshop, more than seventeen of the thirty-two paths connected by the sefirot have been scrapped … "
The loss was heavy.
No one knew what kind of attack and disaster could cause such a terrible result.
As the sun chariot of the past, the Helios workshop itself was a relic that once symbolized the authority of the sun.
In addition to the areas divided by functions, its essence was also established according to the foundation of alchemy. It was divided into four boundaries: activity, creation, formation, and outflow.
Of course, according to the translation and understanding of various languages, there were also pronouns such as divinity, matter, and so on. But this was not important.
What was important was that now, of the four boundaries that maintained the operation of the Helios workshop, one had been completely scrapped, two were seriously damaged, and the remaining core, the formation boundary, could not be observed from the outside.
The balance of the three pillars was broken, and more than half of the thirty-two blood vessel-like sefirot pathways were lost. One could imagine the terrible situation inside.
In order to ensure the safety of the first batch of alchemists, Galandeon had made preparations, from the action route to the specific situation response, everything was ready.
But what Huai Shi was more curious about was …
How did you know so much information that was considered top secret even within the inner circle of Helios?
