Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 312 Capturing the Craftsman Alive for Research, on the Eve of War with Khufu!
In a corner of the vast auction house, a pool of dark water slowly rippled.

The pool is small, circular, and less than a meter in diameter.

The higher-level mages with weaker cultivation levels around them didn't even notice it!
This pool of water was directly facing his target, a dragon tamer from the Victoria family.

This auction was quite large, and many high-level mages attended. Some of the more powerful ones did notice something amiss, but no one investigated further.

If something goes wrong, it's the auction house's management who will handle it; it's not their place to intervene.

Inside the private box where Grand Duke Eileen was.

Lu Ran gave a ghostly smile and vanished in a ghostly manner.

Eileen blinked her beautiful eyes and immediately felt relieved.

Now that Lu Ran had taken action, she felt relieved.

Lu Ran's figure became ethereal and transparent as he passed through one private room after another.

Oblivious to everyone else!

No one could detect his presence!

Lu Ran walked step by step toward the Black Demon Pool that the craftsman had transformed into.

If his mental strength hadn't already reached a certain level, he probably wouldn't have been able to lock onto the craftsman's true form so easily through the Black Demon Pool!

The craftsman was extremely cautious, or perhaps he realized that this was a trap to lure him out.

But clearly, the craftsman could not resist the temptation of the huge commission.

Of course, it was also because the craftsman was very confident in his ability to conceal himself!
After all, his past record was such that even the old men of the continental magic association couldn't catch him!
But the craftsman would never have imagined that the person targeting him this time was far more terrifying than the old man from the Magic Association!
"I think I'm being watched."

In the Black Demon Pool, the craftsman muttered to himself, then gritted his teeth and made a decision: "After this job, I'll retire for a while!"

The next moment, something unexpected happened!

As if someone had grabbed his throat, the craftsman could no longer speak, and the fear of death surged into his heart!
Lu Ran picked up the lowly craftsman as if he were a chick, and laughed:
"caught you!"

The craftsman's pupils widened suddenly as he stared at the man who had suddenly appeared in the pool, his expression one of disbelief!
"No, that's impossible!"

This Black Demon Pool was formed by the fusion of his chaotic and shadow powers, and even ordinary super-level mages would find it difficult to see through!
unless
Is the opponent's strength far greater than that of an ordinary super-class being?

Transcendental Perfection?

Or is it a forbidden spell?
But when he saw Lu Ran's face, the craftsman was stunned.

So young?

It's already quite an exaggeration to have a high-level cultivation.

It can't be just maintenance, right?

Lu Ran could hear the speculation in the craftsman's mind.

Lu Ran smiled slightly, a hint of pink appearing in his pupils.

Immediately, the craftsman's eyes became glazed over.

"Where are the Assassin's Guild's strongholds located in Europe?" Lu Ran asked.

The craftsman, his pupils unfocused, answered involuntarily.

Lu Ran frowned, patted the craftsman's head, and snorted coldly, "These strongholds are no secret. Tell me what I don't know. I want the kind of secret, unknown strongholds that only receive high-level assassins!"

Upon hearing this, the craftsman's face showed pain, and his body trembled uncontrollably, as if he were resisting!
However, his mental strength was no match for Lu Ran's mental invasion, and it quickly collapsed, revealing all the important strongholds he knew.

Among them is a top-level stronghold that only receives the four master craftsmen of the Assassin's Hall.

Lu Ran nodded in satisfaction.

He planned to share this intelligence with Eileen and Azharia.

Eileen helped her this time, and Lu Ran didn't intend to take advantage of it for nothing. He intended to capture the scoundrel alive and take him away; this was a form of compensation.

As for sharing information with Asha'sya, that's naturally 'information sharing between husband and wife'!

Lu Ran returned to the private room.

Then Eileen's mouth opened slightly, revealing a surprised expression.

At this moment, the lowly craftsman's eyes were lifeless, his face was dejected, and he was being choked like a dead dog.

"This is the craftsman?" Eileen blinked.

Lu Ran nodded and then briefly explained why he was going to take the craftsman away.

He also gave a general overview of fusion magic.

Eileen was deeply shocked when she heard this!

She began to understand what a groundbreaking feat Lu Ran was attempting!
Once fusion magic is invented, it will surely change the world!

Thinking of this, Eileen's eyes lit up, and she expressed her willingness to provide some support.

If it weren't for Lu Ran's introduction, she definitely wouldn't have paid any attention to the topic of fusion magic, since the probability of it being achieved was extremely small.

But Eileen was quite relieved that Lu Ran was in charge of the fusion magic!
Is she interested in fusion magic?

She values ​​Lu Ran as a person!

Simply put, Eileen was attracted by Lu Ran's personal charm and brand.

Look at the Asuka New City under his rule, how powerful it is in Kyushu now.
Lu Ran was deeply moved after hearing Eileen's words.

Although Eileen is the Grand Duchess, she doesn't have absolute power within the Victorian aristocracy.

Within the Victorian aristocracy, there is also Lady Loo, who possesses two forbidden spells and wields immense influence within the clan; her every word and action carries significant weight.

In this situation, Eileen's willingness to support him shows her sincerity.

After all, in the eyes of most people, even Asha's mother, this was a waste of money.

How did catching a lowly craftsman immediately draw the attention of the Parthenon and Victorian aristocrats to the matter of fusion magic?

Lu Ran knew it was because of him.

At the same time, he was very emotional. If Feng Zhoulong had been able to get the support of these powerful forces in the original work, how could he have died mysteriously in the Dubai Tower of the Asian Magic Association?

"Okay, I'll be going now. Remember to contact me when you come to Kyushu again!"

As soon as Lu Ran finished speaking, his figure became blurry and vanished in the blink of an eye, along with the lowly craftsman he was carrying.
Before leaving, Lu Ran also shared information about the Assassin's Guild's strongholds in Europe with Eileen.

Upon hearing this, Eileen knew the value of the information!
After all, Bei Jiang was one of the four craftsmen of the Assassin Hall. His reputation was for being unpredictable and mysterious, and even some assassins with super-level cultivation did not have a higher status than him.

The intelligence provided by one of the four master craftsmen of the Assassin's Hall is of undeniable value!

Strictly speaking, she owed Lu Ran a favor!
How should I repay the favor when I go to Kyushu next time?

According to Kyushu customs, how should one repay a debt of gratitude? Eileen felt it was necessary to study this in more detail.

Lu Family Manor.

Lu Ran returned via spatial teleportation and threw Bei Jiang into Feng Zhoulong and the others' research laboratory.

"His legal system has been sealed off by me. How you study it is up to you."

After saying that, Lu Ran disappeared again.

Only Feng Zhoulong, Shajia, and a group of researchers remained.

Lu Ran did not stay in Feibiao City. He was heading to the northernmost part of Kyushu, the Northern Plains!
This time, he intends to formally attack Egypt and devour the pyramids!
Before launching an attack, it's necessary to strengthen his eight loyal and fallen rulers!
