Doomsday Code

The sun shines warmly on the earth. It is already late autumn. The weeds that grow tenaciously on the roadside must also follow the laws of nature, especially the emerald green that turns to withered yellow.

Drops of dew condense and fall, bringing hope to this tenacious life.

In this beautiful picture of the autumn morning, a man in tattered clothes and a foul odor, with a panicked look on his face, stumbled along the road towards Huidun City.

If someone who didn’t know him saw him like this, they would think there was an evil ghost chasing him.

When he approached the city gate, the guards smelled an extremely foul smell of fermented cow dung on him.

He was a little confused and wanted to enter the city, but the guards at the city gate raised their spears to stop him.

Without waiting for the guards to drive him away, the man who had been in a daze seemed to come back to his senses all of a sudden.

At this moment, his face covered with cow dung no longer had the previous confused and panic feeling, and his eyes also changed from just being listless to being extremely excited.

At this time, some civilians who had been waiting for a long time to enter the city saw him, but they stayed away from him when they smelled the stench on him.

He covered his nose and cursed, "Where did this lunatic come from?"

His legs lost strength at this time and he fell to his knees in front of the city gate.

Then he threw himself at the guard in front of him, and shouted with all his strength:

"Alchemists... there is alchemy... alchemists..."

And then the man died immediately after he said this. The civilians and guards who were preparing to enter the city were stunned at first, and then many people thought of the horrible rumors about alchemists that they had heard from the wandering merchants.

According to rumors, alchemists are not one individual, but a group.

These guys are a bunch of lawless people who do all kinds of evil.

At first they were just a group of poor wizards who had no money to support their magical practice. Then they had the crazy idea of coming up with some alchemy and wanted to turn stones into gold.

This was also the original purpose of these guys' gathering.

However, when they reached a certain scale, their research changed a little.

Although the ultimate goal is to turn stone into gold, the process has become extremely bloody and cruel.

In order to achieve their so-called goals, they also developed a systematic cultivation system for evil practitioners.

Like potion control.

This potion was originally a strange potion developed by alchemists in order to turn stone into gold, but later it became a potion that could actually drive people crazy.

These potions have different functions. Some can make people crazy, while others can turn dead people into immortal undead creatures.

After these monsters are created, they will be controlled by the alchemist and thus pose a threat to others.

And this is just one of them.

Wherever these guys go, they will use the weird alchemy-related magic they have researched, and most of these magics will eventually create a horrible monster to slaughter the whole place.

Then, these people became more and more bizarre as they studied alchemy, until finally they became synonymous with danger and evil.

As a result, whenever an alchemist appeared, the local area would send out its strongest men to strangle him, and also report to the royal capital immediately.

The civilians standing at the city gate were suddenly in an uproar, and then they all ignored their arrangements to enter the city, and went directly to their villages outside the city.

They were going back to inform the people in the village that the alchemist had arrived and they had to move to the city immediately.

The guard was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He did not dare to make any decision on his own, but immediately went to the sheriff's residence in the city.

Sheriff Tophis has been feeling very nervous these days, and now he realizes how stupid his previous actions were.

He was also really afraid that Huidun would drive him away in a fit of anger, and then everything he had learned over the years would be of no use.

Huidun hadn't ordered any punishment for him these days, so he was in a state of panic all day and had no time to care about what was happening.

At this moment, someone knocked on his door, and his heart skipped a beat.

He had already told his subordinates not to come to him for no reason these days, but now they are looking for him. Could it be that Huidun has made some decision for him?

Tophis stood up and opened the door, and then he saw the armed guards looking at him nervously.

Seeing the guards holding weapons, Tophis thought to himself:

"Ah, the result is finally here. It looks like I'm going to have to give up my life."

Thinking of this, Tophis almost fainted.

Fortunately, the guard was not a procrastinator. He directly reported what happened at the city gate.

When Tophis found out that no one was here to kill him, he was a little happy at first, but then he thought that it was an alchemist who showed up this time, and his heart suddenly began to lift again.

Why would the alchemists, a group of mentally ill magicians, come to their remote town? Should he go to the academy immediately to report them to the Earl?

Tophis didn't think too much about it. The previous events had made him like a frightened bird these days, so it would be better for him to be honest this time.

But before he left, he stopped the guard and ordered:

“Now ask a painter to paint the face of the messenger, and then announce it to the people in the city to see if anyone knows this person.

If you find someone you know, immediately ask him where he is from, and immediately send someone to where he lives to find out whether the situation is true.

Then go to the church and ask Bishop Jamil to send a priest to examine the cause of this man's death. I hope the answers to these questions will appear before the Earl arrives at the scene."

After Tophis made up his mind, he used all his experienced ways of dealing with things and immediately gave orders to people to do it in an orderly manner.

The guard nodded nervously, and just as he was about to leave, Tophis called him again, took out his sheriff's seal from his office drawer and handed it to the guard, saying:

“I don’t have time to write you a document, so you can take my seal and do it.

If anyone tries to stop us, they will be thrown into jail.”

Watching the guards leave, Tophis gathered himself together and asked someone to prepare a carriage to take him to the academy.

At this time, because Huidun came to study in the academy, all the noble children wanted to show their faces in front of the Earl so that Huidun would remember them.

If I become a familiar face, and if I inherit the family title in the future, then because of my familiar face today, when good things happen, the Earl will think of me first.

These people's actions made it impossible for Huidun to read quietly in the library.

They never thought about affecting Huidun's studies. They had already been put into the group of people Huidun hated. They were afraid that they would not have a share in any good things in the future, but they would definitely be the first ones to be thought of when something bad happened.

The only person who was in a bad mood at this time was our little boy Coles. He had been observing Chen Cheng in secret these days, wanting to see him being ordered to be executed by the angry Earl.

The reason why he didn't hang around Huidun like the other guys was because he had a guilty conscience and was afraid that Huidun would recognize him as the one who placed the crystal that kept the image.

However, he didn't see the scene of Huidun dealing with Chen Cheng these days, but he saw Chen Cheng being called by Professor Peng Beis to have private lessons from time to time.

To be honest, this little boy Coles is really talented in hiding his whereabouts, lurking and spying.

He should not have learned this upright magic duel of chanting spells, but should have learned the means of hiding and lurking to assassinate.

Perhaps one day there will be another assassination king on this continent.

And if he can't become a great assassin, then being a great thief is more than enough.

But apparently our little villain has no idea that he has a talent for stealth.

Of course, Penbes's so-called remedial lessons for Chen Cheng were just an external statement. In the eyes of Principal Adolf and others, Penbes was simply providing Chen Cheng with physical treatment every few days.

However, they would never have imagined that these two people were not on the first or second floor, but on the third floor.

The truth is that Chen Cheng was teaching Peng Beisi, or rather, it was an academic discussion between the two.

Discuss and study the basic pattern corridor structure of basic magic.

This is a huge project.

They need to split the magic patterns one by one, and the resulting pattern corridors must have a certain universality, and the efficacy of the magic patterns cannot be lost.

Previously, Chen Cheng was able to conduct research in the Sea of Magic through the huge reserves of magic patterns, but his final result was only an unstable gold-level magic.

So this is indeed a long and arduous journey.

With the addition of senior researcher Peng Beis, many unnecessary trial and error steps can be avoided and the time is greatly shortened.

As for the injuries in Chen Cheng's body, Chen Cheng was bored a few days ago and used his mental power to test it. He found that the crystal pendant given to him by his mother before her death could enhance his mental power.

Therefore, he could completely clean up those broken magic lines by himself, and at the same time, he could study them to see how to improve them in the future and whether they could be made more stable.

It can be said that Chen Cheng is still immersed in the pleasure of constantly exploring and discovering the unknown. Perhaps this is also his self-destiny as a research genius.

In the backyard of the church, Jamil frowned slightly after listening to his subordinates' report, then waved his hand to let them leave.

He never expected that an alchemist would come here at this time. This was all too much of a coincidence.

You know, because he wanted to harm Huidun before, the statue used for warning in the church was damaged. And by chance, the alchemist came at this time.

Then Jamil said to the monks outside:

"During this period, let Father Hodos lead the prayers. If anyone from the government comes to seek help, let Father Hodos come forward to help."

Then a "yes" was heard, and a monk in a white robe with a black surface hurriedly left here to convey Bishop Jamil's order.

At this time, Jamil began to wonder what this alchemist who came from afar wanted to do, and how much benefit he could gain for the church from here.

Or maybe he could make some plans and take advantage of this alchemist crisis to get rid of Huidun.

Because his spies reported a bad news to him a few days ago, that old man Peng Beis had become Huidun's new master.

What no one knows is that this alchemist now has an army of undead skeletons around him.
