328 Wise Monkey Substitute
Murong Xue said solemnly, “I'll tell you if it's necessary. I'm not here to participate in the Alchemy Festival, but to investigate the whereabouts of the dwarven king.”
“Oh?” Su Bai pretended to be surprised. He asked, “Have you found anything yet?”
“Not yet.” Murong Xue shook her head.
She had been on the ground for the past few days and had no idea where to start.
Now that she had come to the real First City, she did not find any clues.
“What else can you tell me?” Su Bai asked.
On the first day Su Bai met Murong Xue, he realized that she was not as simple as she looked.
It was indeed the case now. Murong Xue was not here for the Alchemy Festival, but to get involved in the chaotic situation of the dwarves.
No matter how Su Bai looked at it, it was much more troublesome than he had expected.
“Yes, but you must contact the forces closest to the dwarven king, the Drom family.”
“Did you contact them?”
“I couldn't.” Murong Xue frowned slightly. She whispered, “I'm carrying out a secret mission this time, so I don't have any letter to meet them.”
…
Su Bai remained silent.
After all this time, Murong Xue was at her wit's end and had come to find him.
“I need your help.”
“How?”
“Try your best to cause a distraction for me.”
“Are you prepared to take the risk?”
“That's right.”
Murong Xue's expression was extremely serious. Her cold eyes gleamed with sharpness.
However, as a participant in the Alchemy Competition, especially with her special identity, once she disappeared, it was very likely that she would attract attention.
It was not difficult to solve the problem. As long as Su Bai, who was a Spiritualist Beastmaster, helped, everything would be fine.
Su Bai whispered, “Illusion can't be refined. It's only a matter of time before you are exposed.”
“As long as it's here, it's okay.”
Murong Xue raised her right hand and summoned a Beast.
A slender monkey with fur as white as snow.
Especially the pair of wise eyes, Su Bai was a little surprised.
“A Wise Monkey!”
“That's right. With it taking my place, your plan will be flawless as long as your arrangement is thorough.” Murong Xue said.
The Wise Monkey was an extremely special type of Beast. Unlike other Beasts that relied on their powerful physique and energy to survive in this world. The Wise Monkey relied on its intelligence!
After years of experiments, the Wise Monkeys' intelligence was comparable to that of an adult, but they had to go through training.
Su Bai recognized the Wise Monkey because he had seen it once in a while.
Through training, the Wise Monkey could actually master all kinds of professional skills, including alchemy!
What Murong Xue meant to say was that the Wise Monkey has mastered the alchemy skill.
That solved the mystery of why she was able to use the strange alchemy technique at the factory a few days ago. It was because she combined her skill with the Wise Monkey!
Su Bai was amazed. He did not expect that he would be able to see such a rare Wise Monkey one day. It was really interesting.
“Come here.”
Su Bai waved his hand and the Wise Monkey followed him. It had the basic skill of understanding human language.
Then, Su Bai summoned Dream Wing and covered the Wise Monkey with an illusion. It copied exactly like Murong Xue.
“Impressive!”
Murong Xue could not help but exclaim when she saw that the Wise Monkey had changed its appearance and looked exactly like her.
“How are you going to take the risk? Although the dwarves' Beasts are average, it doesn't mean they are all pushovers.” Su Bai asked.
“There's no need to worry about that.”
Murong Xue summoned a shadow that covered her entire body and disappeared into the shadows.
That was a dark-type Beast, Shadower. Its characteristic was that it could hide in the shadows and was known as a special Beast that could not be seen
The weakness was obvious. It was afraid of the light.
However, they were now in the underground First City. Even if there were countless neon lights in the streets and alleys, they could not illuminate every dark corner.
The Beastmasters from the Royal City were indeed different. Their fancy tricks were new to Su Bai.
“Are you still there?”
“Yes!”
“When you're looking for the dwarven king, help me find someone.”
“Who is it?”
“You should have seen him before. He's an old dwarf called Anves.”
“Understood.” Murong Xue's voice came from the void. “I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take my leave first.”
“Leave it to me.”
Murong Xue's departure did not cause any commotion. Even Su Bai's spiritual power could not detect it.
Then, Su Bai took the Wise Monkey that had turned into Murong Xue back to the lounge in the square.
“You guys just came back. The speech ceremony is almost over!”
Gao Zhilong heaved a sigh of relief.
The plaza had changed drastically.
Hundreds of single rooms were removed and replaced with small tables with normal-grade alchemy furnaces.
Next, the contestants who had passed the elimination round had to compete in the finals on the stage!
It had to be said that the dwarven Alchemists were indeed outstanding.
After the elimination round, there were only about 500 people left from the thousands of people!
In the middle of the square, a few dwarven hosts were giving passionate speeches.
Su Bai was too lazy to listen. He sat on a chair and surveyed the situation around the square.
Compared to before, the number of soldiers had increased visibly. At least two thousand Beastmasters were patrolling the square.
At the same time, the alchemical weapon on the roof had disappeared. It was unsure whether it was intentional or not.
Su Bai did not know if it was to deceive others. The only thing he could be sure of was that the Yadi family that the middle-aged dwarf had mentioned would definitely make a move today.
Su Bai had no idea how they would do that.
“Where's Zhang Yan and the others?” Su Bai asked Gao Zhilong.
“They should be among the audience.” Gao Zhilong shrugged and smiled. “The finals are about to start. Don't be distracted. As for Shen Yan, he's still nowhere to be seen.”
“He's not back yet?”
“Yeah, I haven't seen him since he went to meet an old acquaintance.”
…
Su Bai remained silent.
At such a critical moment, there must be a reason for Shen Yan's disappearance.
However, Su Bai could not care less as the sound of firecrackers rang out.
The Alchemy Festival officially began!
The dwarf host said loudly, “All participants, please go up the stage in an orderly manner! The main theme of the finals will be your next challenge. And that is, The truth!”
“The truth? What the heck!”
“What kind of theme is that?”
“Are you kidding me? Do you want us to refine the truth? Isn't this a joke?”
“That's right!”
…
When the theme was revealed, there was no doubt that it caused an uproar.
Even the audience was dumbfounded.
The truth was the ideal that countless people pursued their entire lives.
Using this as a theme for the finals of the Alchemy Festival was completely forcing on the participants.
As if they had already known the commotion at the scene, the corners of the host's mouth curled into a smile.
