Chapter 2637

~11 min read 2,068 words

After sitting at the dining table, Shiler learned that the message Ma Te wanted to tell him was related to Sandman.

Before, they suspected that Sandman had been kidnapped, and also found a strange invisible man, and initially suspected that Sandman and this kidnapper might also have a cooperative relationship, while Shiler designed a plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

It is also very simple to execute. It is known that the mysterious invisibility cloak was obtained by a teenager who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth. After he suddenly obtained such powerful power from scratch, what he wanted most besides satisfying his vanity was more powerful power.

Or rather, these two things are the same thing. Only by obtaining more powerful power can he satisfy his infinitely expanding vanity.

Although the invisibility cloak can let him do some petty theft, he only has invisibility ability, and he certainly can't do anything big. Otherwise, he wouldn't just go to the women's bathhouse to peek or steal things. If he could, who wouldn't want to sit in the position under Kingpin's butt?

Using his greed for power, Shiler fabricated a series of stories and scattered many baits, just to lure him to the designated place and figure out what was going on.

Shiler didn't know where this invisibility cloak came from, because this character was a bit too marginalized and was a very small character. There was no need to remember his origin story so clearly.

But this didn't prevent Shiler from fabricating a reasonable origin story for the cloak. Anyway, the Sorcerer Supreme also has a cloak. You say they are brothers, and no one can refute it, except the cloak itself.

Fortunately, the Sorcerer Supreme's cloak can't speak, and doesn't know that Shiler arranged such an outrageous origin story for him. Anyway, it was a certain day many years ago that a god bestowed two cloaks, one left in the mysterious magic holy land Kamar-Taj, and the other fell into the folk and didn't know where it went.

Both cloaks have extremely powerful power. If the two cloaks can be combined into one, they can possess god-like great power.

Anyway, it is still the set of Yitian and Dragon Slaying being invincible in the world. The story is a bit old, but the teenager really believes it.

And according to Ma Te's investigation, for at least half a month, there has been no trace of the mysterious invisible man in Manhattan, and the New York Sanctuary has appeared some abnormalities.

About a week ago, the mages of the New York Sanctuary discovered some unusual energy fluctuations, a bit familiar, but because it was too inconspicuous, it was regarded as a remnant of the mages' experiments, and no one cared.

But it was one day after the energy was discovered that the New York Sanctuary was stolen, but important magic items were not lost. Instead, the library was turned into a mess, and several geographical maps were taken away.

The stolen books were basically about Kamar-Taj, and there were many secret secrets in them. The Great Mages immediately had a sense of crisis, thinking that it might be someone who was thinking about Kamar-Taj, so they immediately reported to Kamar-Taj.

The one who received the report was the Great Steward Wong, but this kind of report can have more than a dozen cases every year. Basically, all the demons and ghosts in the world are thinking about Kamar-Taj, but so far, no one has really been able to attack the headquarters.

Strange has been busy with the village's poverty alleviation work recently, and Wong doesn't want to disturb him with such things, so he just strengthened the patrol around Kamar-Taj as usual and didn't care anymore.

Shiler calculated the time. He estimated that the kid had taken the bait. He believed that it wouldn't take long before there would be good news from Kamar-Taj.

But unexpectedly, Shiler was called back by a phone call from Strange before he finished eating. After returning, he found that not only Strange was there, but the village chief of the village below and the county magistrate he had seen twice were also there.

After chatting for a while, Shiler realized that there were no mysterious cases in Brooklyn, and it changed to mysterious invisible people committing crimes in the Sherpa town at the foot of the mountain. So far, there have been more than a dozen theft cases.

Shiler didn't understand at first why this invisible man wasn't aiming at Kamar-Taj. He stole so many maps and materials, and it shouldn't be that he couldn't find the way.

Then suddenly Shiler remembered something that was often ignored by most people, and he had also ignored it himself, that is, altitude sickness.

Everyone living on Mount Ximalaya behaved like a person who had nothing to do, which led to this matter being too easy to be ignored. This kid is very likely not unable to find the way, but fundamentally unable to climb up.

The Sherpa town at the foot of the mountain is located at an altitude of about 4,000 meters. Although it sounds very high, it is only the starting point of the plateau. As long as it is not an airplane entering Tibet, but taking a train to slowly adapt, generally there will be no big things.

But according to the degree of lack of common sense of American teenagers, Shiler felt that this kid was very likely to come by plane, and it is estimated that he lay down as soon as he landed.

And above 4,000 meters, every 500 meters is a threshold, and even after 5,000 meters, every 200 meters is like a natural chasm. As for going up, what is fought is not physical fitness, but some talent.

As for these villagers living at 6,000 or 7,000 meters, they are born here and basically haven't left in their lives, so they are naturally very adaptable. Mages don't need to mention it. Without this willpower, they simply can't be mages.

But to say that let an ordinary person with only invisibility ability find a way to climb to such a high place and have to adapt to strong altitude sickness during the climbing process, that is still a bit difficult for others.

The target locked by Shiler, Parker Robbins, has no experience in high-altitude operations, nor has he undergone militarized training. He is just a Brooklyn street thug who is as ordinary as possible. I am afraid that even if he gets the route map to Kamar-Taj, he simply can't climb up.

Where can he go if he can't climb up? Of course, he can return the same way, but the altitude of about 4,000 meters is also uncomfortable. If he came by plane and lay down as soon as he landed, at least he would have to rest for about a week. During this period, I am afraid he can't go anywhere.

Shiler believes that it is very likely that Robbins is unwilling to give up, feeling that he can still climb to a higher place after relaxing, and maybe he can lie to Kamar-Taj just by lying down like this, so he relies on the town below and doesn't leave, and relies on his invisibility ability to commit crimes everywhere.

And because this town is relatively close to Kamar-Taj, most mysterious events will be mistaken for being related to Kamar-Taj, so the village chief and county magistrate came over to ask if it was possible that something had slipped out again recently.

Strange solemnly expressed to them that it was absolutely impossible for the students to do it, and the students of Kamar-Taj could not steal things.

The village chief and county magistrate didn't suspect that it was stolen by students. They just wanted to ask if it was possible that some spirit beasts had run out, and if it would have any impact if they found someone to catch them.

This time, not only did they want to catch it, but Strange also wanted to. He wanted to see who dared to move soil on his head.

Shiler remained silent and pretended not to know. After all, he really didn't think that this Robbins could be so vegetable, and couldn't even withstand the mere altitude sickness. It belongs to the kind of fishing that was hooked, but the fish drowned itself.

Shiler originally wanted to follow and see the situation, but Pamela called him to tell him about the progress of the experiment, so Shiler followed her, and didn't care about the arrest anymore.

What Pamela wanted to say was actually the cultivation of magic medicinal materials. She took a stack of materials and said to Shiler: "Now it is basically certain that the principle is no problem. It is indeed possible to transform their properties by injecting weak magic energy into plant cells, achieving the purpose of prolonging life and improving magic affinity."

"There are two main problems now. First, we cannot use manual methods for energy injection. This was said before, because the output is too low. The current research direction is the radiation machine developed by Stark."

"Second, it is also a newly discovered problem, that is, the soil is not good." Pamela snapped her fingers and said, "We have to inject energy into it during the growth process of the plant, but if the plant is still planted on ordinary land, the energy will dissipate very quickly."

"Isn't it said that the method of continuous radiation injection is used? Just keep injecting it, right?" Shiler asked.

"That's too wasteful." Pamela said helplessly: "Although the magic energy of this universe is quite sufficient, it can't be so wasteful. Isn't this equivalent to throwing money into the water?"

"Can't it be recycled?"

"This counts as a research direction, but there is no clue so far. It is troublesome to want to recycle in natural soil. We are studying the way of using radiation to let the soil save energy and provide it for plants to absorb."

"This is not bad." Shiler said: "The growth of plants is always inseparable from soil, water, and sunlight. Thinking of ways to move hands and feet on these three is better than forcing energy into the plants."

"This is the problem. We have already tried it. Water is not good. Although it can also bring energy into the plant body, the conversion efficiency is too low and uncontrollable. Sunlight is also not good. Magic light will cause plants to mutate, which is conducive to my research on beating cabbage 5.0."

Pamela thought while touching her chin and said: "We are conducting different soil analysis to see which kind of soil has strong magic affinity. I think the soil that is originally more suitable for planting should also perform well in this regard..."

"Must it be planted in soil?" Shiler said: "If there are other things with strong magic affinity, can't plants be planted on that?"

"Theoretically, it is impossible. You can't get a piece of magic metal and force plants to grow from it, right? This is unscientific, uh, I mean unmagical."

Pamela waved her hand impatiently and said: "It is precisely because of the stability of plants that they can become carriers of magic and be eaten and absorbed by humans without causing poisoning or cell invasion."

"If you want to transform a plant that can grow on metal, first of all, its stability will be destroyed. What can grow out may not necessarily be a plant, and what consequences it will have after being eaten by people is hard to say."

"Metal is still a bit exaggerated." Shiler said: "Can't it be compromised? For example, some things that might grow plants, but are usually not used for plant cultivation..."

Pamela looked at Shiler and asked tentatively: "Do you have an idea?"

"I have, but it can't be known by others. You have to keep it secret for me." Shiler said mysteriously.

Pamela curled her lips and said: "Are there few secrets I have kept for you?"

Shiler stared at her and said: "Are those fertilizers easy to use?"

Pamela suddenly reacted to which ones he was talking about. She took a breath and said: "You don't want to plant plants on people, do you???"
