Divine Flame Crystal

It was the first time for them to see Xingluo perform the Starry Sky Formation. This formation was very different from the ones they usually learned. Apparently, Xingluo had made further innovations after the first generation of formations. The two of them had fallen into blind worship of this teacher who could innovate again. At this time, whatever Xingluo asked them to do, they would probably do it without hesitation.

Xingluo naturally didn't know about the two people's situation. He was concentrating on analyzing the mystery of Hera's Lamp, especially the mechanics. This magical equipment actually made use of a combination of mechanics and magic in many places. This opened Xingluo's eyes. This was something he had not learned in the Luoshen Academy. It was a technology unique to the Sunset Empire Academy.

The sophisticated gears and magic arrays on it were intertwined with each other, producing incredible functions that made Xingluo fascinated, as if a new door had been opened in the magic world.

Hera's Lamp, it is said that an alchemist named Hera encountered a devastating blizzard while exploring the Far North. Almost all of his heating materials were used up, and only a few fire magic cores were left. Every time he took out a magic core, many inspirations appeared in his mind, but the fire magic cores would eventually run out. Just when he took out the last magic core, he fell into an ice cave, and below was a relic of the great magic era.

Inside is an alchemist's laboratory. What they were researching helped Hera. With what he learned from the ruins, he finally improved a device to help him resist the cold and return to the city. In order to commemorate him, later generations named this device Hera's Lamp, which means to help guide lost people in the cold.

From then on, Hera became a wealthy businessman. He made a fortune with the technology he brought back from the laboratory in the Far North. This story also led many adventurers who wanted to get rich overnight to go to the Far North, but only a few of them could come back alive, let alone discover any relics.

Hera's Lamp quickly became a must-have item in the Sunset Empire, and large-scale production could not keep up with the demand. After all, as long as you have Hera's Lamp, it is equivalent to having an extra life in a snowstorm. Moreover, the price of Hera's Lamp is not high, and even ordinary people can afford it if they grit their teeth.

Hera's kind gesture also made his status rise rapidly. Many civilians and nobles were grateful to him. After all, many people froze to death on the streets every year because there was not enough heat.

But since the invention of Hera's Lamp, such things have happened less frequently.

Xingluo worked hard to decipher Hera's Lamp, not for plagiarism, but because he discovered that the alchemical process of Hera's Lamp revealed rich wisdom. He had benefited a lot just from analyzing this device. It was worthy of the technology left over from that glorious era of magicians. It is said that relatively complete technology is preserved in the depths of the Far North, but the cold has hindered human exploration. However, every day, there are alchemists who risk their lives to explore that unknown land, just to make that lost history reappear and fill the gap in magic technology.

The people here are tough and have a spirit of fearlessness. Even in the face of life and death crisis, they will move forward courageously. This is what Xingluo felt when he came here. They have been fighting against nature and resisting the cold since they were born.

Finally, with Xingluo's unremitting efforts, he cracked the formation diagram of Hera's Lamp. At this time, he was surrounded by strong spiritual fluctuations, and the star formation diagram was spinning rapidly around him. It was obvious that he had been pushed to the extreme. However, he did not think about making a similar device to make money. He just wanted to improve his alchemy technology. Of course, he also wanted to open a branch of Flame Hammer in the Sunset Empire and combine the knowledge he learned in the Sunset Empire to transform it into wealth.

However, he has not thought about pirating other people's achievements. He hated piracy the most in the past, and now is no exception. Although the formation diagram above was not invented by Hera, it was discovered and developed by him after all. He has no interest in competing with her.

He wanted to make his own unique alchemical items, so that the name of the Hammer of Flame would be known to the entire Sunset Empire. Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to enter Sunset Academy. With the Hera Lantern, the three of them began to move directly towards Sunset Academy without taking a detour. Moreover, with the help of the teleportation array, they moved even faster.

Sunset Academy is located in Sunset City, which is the last supply point for humans entering the Far North. Further ahead is an endless land of ice and snow with no signs of human activity. Killing is strictly prohibited here, and even fighting is not allowed. Even death is not allowed. Another task given to him by Constantine is to investigate the sudden deaths here. This is the first large-scale death since the establishment of Sunset City.

Constantine speculated that it was the work of the devil, but Xingluo didn't think so. He had come into contact with devils many times, and he had a better understanding of devils, even more than the people in this alien continent. Another reason why he judged that it might not be the work of the devil was because there was no blood in the body of the deceased.

He suspected vampires more than demons. These vampires survived by sucking donated blood. They usually lurk among the crowd and survive on animal blood. Even if they coveted human blood, they would only buy some blood from the monastery. The monastery was the medical organization of this continent, and treatment relied more on light magic. However, some alchemical techniques were still circulated during the era of the great magician, especially in the Sunset Empire, where these technologies were developed.

Therefore, the monastery will regularly store some blood, mainly used to lift some curses. They also rely on blood for some research, and the excess blood will be bought by some alchemists, and vampires will occasionally buy some as well.

Most of the vampires are concentrated in the Sunset Empire and are rarely seen in other empires. They don't like the heat and hate the sun. The environment here is just right for their survival. This is the information found by the Cat Royal Family. They had already investigated the matter when Xingluo came to the Sunset Empire. However, even if it was not done by the devil, he still needed to contact the dark forces. The unknown is the most dangerous. After all, the dark elves were once dark forces. He didn't know what attitude other dark forces had towards this matter.

"I wonder if there are werewolves here?" Xingluo thought curiously.

Because Xiao Hei's flying speed was too fast and there was still some time before the formal exchange date, Xingluo and the other two found the Sunset Hotel and stayed there. This was the head office of the Sunset Hotel and it covered a large area. Xingluo and the other two chose two rooms and stayed there. The two men originally wanted to stay in the same room with Xingluo but he refused. Xingluo still wanted to have a good rest, but with these two people around, he couldn't rest for the rest.

These past few days, the two beautiful girls have been pestering Xingluo to explain the star formation diagram. He has been explaining it to them all the way with the help of Hera's Lamp. If they were really allowed to move in, they probably wouldn't be able to rest at night.

Xingluo watched the two people leave the room with resentful eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. He still underestimated their fanatical desire for knowledge. Perhaps only people like this could continue to break through and become talents who promote the advancement of magic.

Late at night, a black shadow flashed by, and a pure black cat jumped directly out of the window. Xingluo opened his eyes and opened the window. The cat jumped in nimbly, "Hello, I am a member of the cat royal family, responsible for the intelligence of Sunset City. Some things are better discussed in person."

Xingluo nodded slightly, signaling the other party to continue. The cat royal family did not hesitate to continue reporting the situation here: "Sunset City is not very safe recently. There have been murders in the past few days. It is very dangerous for you to be here. You should enter the academy as soon as possible."

Xingluo's eyes narrowed slightly: "Was it the work of the vampires?"

The cat royal nodded, jumped onto the table, and continued, "I'm not sure yet. After all, the blood race has been very quiet for so many years. This behavior doesn't seem like what those nobles in the dark would do. It's more like some irrational beasts. And those whose blood has been drained do not conform to the aesthetics of the blood race. After all, they only like young girls.

Xingluo then asked, "Are there any traces of the werewolves?"

Cat Royal Family: "There are only some news on the night of the full moon. At other times, it is difficult to find the werewolves hiding in the crowd. The same goes for the vampires. They disguise themselves as human nobles and are difficult to be found."

"what!"

Suddenly, a shrill cry was heard outside the window, Xingluo's eyes changed, and he flew out of the window. The time magic was then released, and his trace disappeared in this space and time. Xingluo's movement speed was extremely fast, and with the blessing of the Wind Chasing Boots, he was even faster than a flash of lightning, and arrived in the blink of an eye.

But he was still a step too late. He saw a corpse lying on the ground. Xingluo had already used his super pupil, but he only caught a glimpse of a black shadow. Could it really be a vampire? After all, it was moving so fast that even his super pupil could not see clearly.

Soon the place was brightly lit. The guards from Sunset City came quickly, but they couldn't even catch up with Xingluo. They didn't even see the shadow, as Xingluo had already left.

After Xingluo returned to the room, she heard a rapid knock on the door. The cat royal family had left the room. Xingluo tidied her clothes and opened the door. Two pitiful girls were standing outside the door. Through her glasses, she could see their slightly frightened eyes.

After all, they are still two young students, and this is a good performance in a foreign country. However, Xingluo felt helpless when he saw them standing outside the door, each holding a pillow. They were planning to sleep here.

After what happened just now, Xingluo was no longer sleepy. It was just right for him to stay up late with the two of them. However, it was inevitable that he would be very tired tomorrow.

As expected, as soon as the two came in, they started asking about the magic circle diagram. As a teacher, Xingluo began to teach the two good students, starting from the simplest to the complex, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, which made the two fascinated.

But the next day, when Xingluo opened the door with dark circles under his eyes and yawned, the hotel waiter looked at him with envy. Apparently, he saw the two beauties going to Xingluo's room late at night.

However, Xingluo was exhausted after a night of hard work. It was much more tiring than meditation. He needed to reorganize the knowledge he had learned and express it in words that the other party could understand as much as possible. Since the two of them were not familiar with magic arrays, Xingluo had to adapt to their pace as much as possible during class, which made it particularly tiring.
