Chapter 350: First-Rank Rune Construct

The whole room was not big, or it should be called cramped and small, and the furniture was even scarcer.

Gao De's gaze just scanned slightly, and he took in everything in the whole room, and quickly locked onto the suspicious object.

In the small room, there was actually a water bucket that could be called "huge."

This in itself was unreasonable.

The function of a water bucket was nothing more than holding water and bathing.

But for the residents of the Makoko District, these two needs actually did not exist.

Gao De came to the side of the water bucket, gently wiped his finger on the edge of the bucket, and a disgusting sticky feeling came.

He took his finger to his eyes to check carefully, looking at the gray-black mucus, confirming that it was indeed from a foul-smelling water salamander.

It could be basically determined that this bucket once contained a large number of foul-smelling water salamander larvae.

The problem was that in such a simple environment, it was clearly impossible to cultivate a large number of water beast larvae.

Therefore, these larvae should have been cultivated outside the Makoko District and then transported into the Makoko District for "release."

After reaching a preliminary judgment, Gao De walked out of the shanty and covered the door again.

Then, he put his hand on the door, and a gentle magic fluctuation slowly overflowed from his palm, gradually covering the simple padlock damaged by the forced entry.

The broken parts inside the lock core began to return to their positions under the action of magic, fitting each other, and the broken pins became complete again.

【Repair+】.

After the magic fluctuation dissipated, the padlock had returned to its original appearance, as if the previous damage had never existed.

Of course, all this happened in the blink of an eye, and it was difficult for others to notice.

Shama was waiting on the boat on the side.

Gao De got on the boat with a calm face.

"Do you know who lived in the shanty just now?" he asked "casually."

In the Makoko District, there were no public lighting facilities, so before dark, most people would return to the shanty in time, otherwise, night sailing would greatly increase the accident rate.

But the shanty just now was empty.

In the case that it was highly likely that the building was empty, Gao De chose to "break in" to investigate the specific situation.

"Here..." Shama tried hard to recall, but the Makoko District was so big, and he didn't live nearby, so he really didn't know about this and couldn't give an answer.

"Master Mage, I will help you ask, and when you come tomorrow, I will give you an answer?" Finally, Shama said cautiously.

"Then I will trouble you." Gao De nodded slightly, and at the same time reached into his arms and threw a silver dragon coin over.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master." Shama hurriedly took the silver dragon coin, his eyes glowing slightly.

Back to the shore.

In Lagos City, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is very simple to find a coachman willing to send him here, but it is a fantasy to find a carriage back here.

Gao De was not sure when he would finish the mission, so he did not make a reservation with the coachman when he came in the morning.

Not to mention, there was an extra batch of weight—those tail fins taken from foul-smelling water salamanders as mission settlement.

So, there was a small trouble going back now.

Of course, it was just a small trouble.

After all, Gao De was a mage.

Money could solve 99% of the problems in the world, but it couldn't buy love.

But spells could even manipulate love.

First, he cast 【Heavy Burden】 on himself, making his own weight-bearing capacity three times.

Then he cast 【Wolf Speed】, and after significantly increasing his movement speed, Gao De picked up the bag full of foul-smelling water salamander tail fins and flew toward the Lagos City area at a speed much faster than a carriage.

Gao De, dusty and smelling of stench, returned to the Palm Tree Hotel.

Before entering the room, Gao De felt as if he had forgotten something important.

He thought about it carefully, but still couldn't remember.

Finally, he applied a 【Purify Food】 on himself, removing the stench and dust he had picked up from staying in the Makoko District for a day, before opening the door.

Gao De's gaze swept across the room quickly, finally falling on Anna sitting on the bed, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The little girl was indeed very obedient and didn't run around.

Anna heard the sound of the door opening, first looked at the door with vigilant eyes like a kitten, and her whole body arched slightly.

Afterward, after seeing that the person at the door was Gao De, the vigilant look instantly became pitiful, looking at Gao De with great grievance: "Brother, I'm hungry."

Gao De slapped his head, finally remembering what he had forgotten:

Didn't arrange lunch for Anna!

Restaurant.

The slightly greasy table was filled with four large plates of food:

Cassava puree, chicken roasted after being marinated with local spices, cold-mixed cassava leaves made by mixing onions, tomatoes, and other seasonings, and palm oil soup made by adding fish, shrimp, meat, and various vegetables based on palm oil.

Anna was burying her head and eating hard.

Gao De looked at her with a slightly guilty look.

Fortunately, he forcibly pulled Anna, who hadn't woken up, up in the morning to have breakfast, otherwise, the little girl would have been starved to death after this day.

Almost abused a child.

Although the little girl was starved, she was still very elegant when eating, using a table knife, fork, and spoon to stuff food into her mouth in an orderly and large mouthfuls.

A little girl under six years old, who could do this when starved, was enough to prove the good upbringing of the little girl.

"Is brother's business finished?" Finally, the little girl who was seven or eight full and recovered looked up, blinked her big eyes, and asked earnestly.

"The main business should take another day," Gao De answered; today he had already cleared most of the foul-smelling water salamanders, and tomorrow would be the main attack on the magic octopuses, "However, because of a small accident, it may be delayed for a few more days."

He was referring to today's accidental discovery.

Just with the building empty, wanting to find the mastermind, it would definitely be delayed for a while.

"But after the main business is finished, I can help you find your sister first." Gao De thought about it and said again.

He didn't know about the news of Anna "running away from home," and whether her sister had received it.

With the developed transportation of the Jin Quehua Dynasty, two days was enough for the news to be passed over.

Just according to Anna, her sister did not reveal what she was doing in Lagos City.

So under normal circumstances, the people there should not know how to find Aisha, and naturally, they could not convey the news of Anna "running away from home" to Aisha.

But in short, it was not good to delay too much time.

"It's okay, brother, your own business is important." Anna said obediently.

*You are not in a hurry at all now. * Gao De shrugged helplessly, unable to understand the thinking mode of children.

After eating and drinking, return to the hotel room.

It was still daily cultivation, and after cultivation was rune practice.

And Anna, like last night, squatted on the side with great interest, watching Gao De's every move.

It was just that today Gao De did not continue to practice rune manufacturing technology, but took out a piece of parchment and began to sketch and calculate.

Anna's words yesterday woke him up.

Now he was in the Jin Quehua Dynasty.

In this powerful dynasty, the materials needed for rune construction were not difficult to buy, as long as you had money.

Conditions met.

At the same time, he was also a Hai Shao Bing mage, often needing to go out to execute missions, needing the combat power bonus brought by rune construction.

Needs also met.

Since this was the case, he was prepared to design a set of first-rank rune constructs for himself.
