That was not all, as a hand seal would require either the little finger or the thumb to be withdrawn first or last, depending on what they needed, along with a strict angle and distance between every finger. The slightest mistake in the sequence would leave the hand seal completely ineffective.At the same time, the radiant specks were starting over from the first hand seal after finishing the full sequence.Charlie kept watching, focused in case he missed any details.Hence, after standing in the snow for more than an hour, when Charlie was finally confident that he had gotten the hand seals down to every last detail in his mind, the radiant specks began to fade from the skies.Still, it took another twenty minutes for the aurora to reform, once again a gorgeous glowing curtain of curtain floating up in the skies.Through it all, Vera had been trying to identify the hand seals described by Charlie, but she was like an innocent child who couldn't grasp the faintest idea of what th

Charlie was overjoyed as he confirmed that his Reiki was growing, and he turned to Vera, "I think it's obvious now. It seems that this set of hand seals is meant for cultivation. When I focus my Reiki into my fingers, the hand seals generate Reiki—it's like casting a ward, except the ward generates Reiki."Vera was no cultivator, but she was well-versed in the art after living for so long, and her first thought was only one thing: "If you master the hand seals, wouldn't you have overcome the worst problem of the Degenerate Age of Dharma?"Charlie nodded and grinned. "Whoever masters this hand seal will definitely rise above the rest in this era."The Degenerate Age of Dharma was no different from industrial society suddenly losing its power supply. Without electricity to assist with production, any industrial development would naturally stagnate. However, if a method to generate power was found again, the person who devised it would be king—there was no question that this was a disc

Still, Charlie was actually holding back since he wasn't too familiar with the hand seals.Once he had familiarized himself with the full sequence, he became faster and more efficient, and over ten hours had passed before he knew it.Before long, he had the technique ingrained into his heart and soul. When he finally jerked out of his meditative state, he quickly examined himself and realized that his Reiki had grown by ten percent! He was certainly overjoyed by such obvious growth, and it only surprised him more that the extra 10% of Reiki had converged into his elixir field, and he felt more powerful than before.It seemed that the hand seals did not just consistently generate Reiki, but could also expand his elixir field so that he could carry more Reiki. That form of growth was different from taking pills. With pills, one was only filling the elixir field to the brim. If there were more Reiki than what it could take, the Reiki actually dissipates afterward and didn't stay in

Delighted, Charlie quickly asked, "They found something? Did Captain Lammy say what it was? Did they locate a new dead soldier base?""Yes!" Vera smiled, nodding. "He said that the AI Module found a phosphate mine in Morocco, and he said that he will brief you directly when you return."Charlie thought about it and asked, "Morocco… That's in Africa, right?""Yes," Vera said, "It's across the sea on the Iberian Peninsula where Spain and Portugal are located. It's abundant in phosphates, accounting for about 70% of the global reserves."Charlie nodded. "Given that resource, there would definitely be plenty of such mines—one amongst many is how the Qing Eliminating Society could easily keep the dead soldiers' base out of prying eyes. It's most definitely a solid lead.""And given how important this is, we should hurry back to the data center," Vera said."No, there's no hurry," Charlie smiled, shaking his head. "We came to see the aurora, didn't we? I'd like to see it again tonight

What's more, Vera was no ordinary girl. Forget a long drive, she knew how to fly a helicopter after having lived for over three hundred years.So, as she drove on the way back, Charlie sat in the back and kept casting the hand seals that boosted his Reiki.When they arrived at Oslo, his Reiki had increased by nearly twenty percent, and he told Vera, "When I get back, I'm going to pour my growth into your ring to see if I can trigger what other hidden functions it has."He then called Merlin before dropping by the data center where the AI module was housed on the way back to the palace, since Merlin was there.As soon as they met, Merlin didn't wait and promptly said, "The mine that the AI module found is definitely very suspicious, with a 99.99% probability that it is a Qing Eliminating Society safehouse."Charlie nodded. "Can I trouble you to summarize the logic chain that the AI module applied, which led to this discovery?" Merlin nodded and quickly turned on the screen, tap

Having listened to Merlin breaking down the details, Charlie asked, "Then, as a veteran detective who is experienced in fighting crime, do you think the AI's analysis is reliable?""Yes," Merlin replied, nodding. "There's no direct evidence that Duca Mines is housing a dead soldier base, but the AI module's multi-faceted examination produced enough circumstantial evidence that makes this good enough to be a solid lead. In comparison, the other suspects can no doubt check a few boxes too, but not enough to make them a lead."The AI module has also already surveyed the rest of Morocco. From every database and Horizon's satellite imaging, it found zero evidence that any mining company—legitimate or otherwise—is still using or reactivating their subterranean mines over the last ten years, because it's just cheaper and more effective to mine above ground."However, Duca Mines is found to have been keeping their pit active, and yet there is no sign that they are mining phosphate from it.

With that in mind, Charlie asked Merlin, "Let's say I want to transport thousands out of the Moroccan mine to Syria without anyone noticing. Would you happen to have an idea?"Merlin pursed his lips worriedly. "That's just too many people, and the mine is far from the coast. It is truly impossible not to leave a trail..."Pausing, he nodded as he said, "That said, I think the only option is the railway. Without waterways or access to ships, trains are about the only transport capable of moving thousands, while cars and airplanes simply won't be enough."Charlie asked, "And if I asked you to come up with a plan for that, what would you do?"Merlin thought about it. "I would first find a way to get the railway's schedules, along with export procedures, approval process, and other logistic details. That being said, it's a dedicated rail line for transporting phosphates, so it should be available to every mine."Either each mine has its own freight train and pays the government for us

The next day, Charlie and Merlin assumed their new Portuguese-Oskian identities Helena had procured and flew directly from Norway to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.Their destination this time was Casablanca, the largest city and largest port of Morocco, which was quite famous for a classic movie with the same name. It was also one of the few relatively modern cities in Africa, ranking in their top ten.On the flight to Lisbon, Charlie sat in a semi-private first-class cabin, casting the hand seals he had learned from the aurora under the blanket he covered himself with.After arriving in Lisbon, Charlie felt that his Reiki had improved significantly again, and once again reminded himself that he must infuse the gained Reiki into the ring given to him by Vera. It may hide a great purpose, and he would like to see what it was by infusing it with more Reiki.In the past, Charlie might not have been willing to do it since the ring was just a bottomless pit that devoured Reiki, but he

Merlin asked, " Can we really get in? Port security is usually very strict.""Don't worry, I have a plan," Charlie grinned. "Still, let's get to our room first. We should have a bird's eye view of the port since it's on the top floor."With that, they checked in, received their room cards, and headed up to the 22nd floor of the hotel. Charlie also made sure to get two different rooms—one in the southern end, and the other to the north, with the north having the panoramic view of the entire port they wanted.Even from the living area of the northern room, the two of them could see the entire port of Casablanca from the window pane. Merlin himself immediately spotted the rail tracks to the south, and there were at least twenty. He looked east along the railway line and said, "As far as I know, Casablanca is the economic life vein of Morocco—most of the phosphate mined is moved here on the rail tracks before being shipped from here to the rest of the world. Duca Mines is no exceptio

The freight trains kept moving until the sky gradually darkened.As Charlie and Merlin observed their patterns, they noticed that the diesel freight trains always uncoupled in the freight yard before reversing on another rail track to couple with a different set of freight carriages.The loaded carriages left in the freight yard would then be towed to a factory building equipped with multiple rails for unloading. After that, everything would be sent through customs inspection before being transported by truck to the docks, where it would be loaded onto the ship.To the southeast of the freight yard was a huge classification yard.Any goods imported to the port of Casablanca on rails would then converge at that yard, where they would go through customs before being towed by locomotives to their final destination.This meant that the freight trains only ever reached the fringes of the port, and not the interior. Anything moved there still had to go through customs, whereas it was th
