Chapter 76 Mission (3000 comments plus more)
Carton looked at Lu Yi deeply, then slowly stepped forward and stretched out his hand.
Just when Lu Yi thought he was going to do something to himself, Cotton's hand reached out to his lightbulb eyes.
Lu Yi watched him take off his "eyeball" and hand it to him.
He took the lightbulb eyeball and placed it in front of his eyes at Cotton's signal.
Through the light-bulb eyeball, Lu Yi was able to see a completely different scene in front of him.
The pure white was replaced by thick black, the white wooden bookshelves were hung with dried blood, and the ground under their feet was splattered with bloodstains.
The open space not far away is no longer an empty place. Countless tall and short bone-colored tombstones stand in it. The bone-white tombstones constitute the only white in the scene before your eyes. All of these whites are covered with a light gray, like shadows infected by darkness, or like gray and decayed souls imprisoned by tombstones.
Farther away, the tall and majestic cross also revealed its true appearance beyond recognition. The dark cross was hanging upside down, and the short handle pointing downward was broken and completely lost its original square shape.
Lu Yi looked carefully and found that the huge cross was not black, but gray-white, similar to the bone monument in front of him. This tall cross was clearly made of human bones!
It's just that the thick black air tightly wrapped around the surface makes the inverted cross look black at first glance.
The ends of Lu Yi's hair moved without wind, as if a cold and harsh wind passed through him repeatedly, leaving a lingering feeling of coldness.
The full attribute allows him to clearly perceive
Lu Yi was so shocked by the hellish scene before him that he even had difficulty breathing.
"Disperse!" Carton snatched the light bulb from Lu Yi's hand with one hand, put the other hand on Lu Yi's shoulder, and shouted in a deep voice.
All the scenes disappeared in an instant like the tide, and the pure white light and shadow began to return.
Lu Yi's accelerated heartbeat slowed down and gradually returned to normal without him noticing.
He took a deep breath and turned his head just in time to see Cotton insert the light bulb back into his sunken eye socket with a "click".
"This..." Lu Yi opened his mouth, but didn't know how to organize his words.
"Are you wondering where this place is?" Carton took over.
Lu Yi nodded silently.
"This is the Cloudtop Library of Bryside, where all the orange and red scrolls of the Magic Association are stored." Katon paused and looked at the white cross in the distance. "This is also one of the only two human burial sites on the Isaiah continent. Little friend, aren't you curious about my mission?"
"My mission..."
"It is to guard this place."
One hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years...
Until the dark magic of the burial ground completely dissipated.
Until the creatures of the abyss can no longer set foot on the human continent.
Until the end.
Lu Yi stared at his metal face that was devoid of any human emotion. After a long while, he whispered, "Professor, why are you telling me this?"
Carton raised his eyes but did not answer his question.
He said to himself, "Actually, I'm very lucky."
Carton took Lu Yi to the open space in front.
His hand hung loosely in mid-air, as if it was resting on something.
Lu Yi had just seen the burial place on the other side of Genting Library through his eyes, so he naturally knew that Cotton's hand should be on a tombstone now.
"This is my teacher." There was no fluctuation in Carton's mechanical voice.
His hand fell to the side again.
“This is my teacher’s teacher.”
"Do you know who was the last person to discover the Genting Library?" Carton suddenly asked.
Lu Yi shook his head.
"If I remember correctly, it should be a young man named Good. He came to pick up something on behalf of the Holy See."
"Mr. Goode?" Lu Yi blinked.
There is a high probability that there will not be a second Goode in the Holy See, right?
"If we know the same person, then Mr. Good is now a cardinal of the Holy See. He was the one who baptized me."
Katon was slightly startled, and said with emotion: "...Maybe it's fate."
At that time, the young prophet stood confusedly in the place where Lu Yi stood now, and told Carton hesitantly about the vague scene he had foreseen.
——"The next person who sees through the illusion will end everything."
Cotton couldn't be sure what the termination meant, but that didn't stop him from looking forward to the next person who would see through the illusion.
But Carton didn't expect that the person in the prophecy would come so soon.
Carton gently wiped the non-existent dust off his subordinate's tombstone and stared at Lu Yi's unusually delicate and outstanding face.
There was still a hint of slight confusion on the young man's face.
"Nothing." Carton suddenly answered Lu Yi's previous question.
"I told you what I wanted to tell you. After all, it's really boring for me to stay here alone. It's rare to have someone to talk to. I just want to show you something different."
Lu Yi sensed a hint of "loneliness and coldness" in his words, and asked tentatively: "Can I come and chat with Teacher Carton in the future? Well, you know, young people have countless questions and curiosities..."
With his current identity, it is not appropriate for him to ask about deeper secrets. Lu Yi only needs to know that this dark force is controllable.
As for the divine power of the orcs——
Lu Yi recalled Paso's indifferent look as he sat backstage at Braceside, and felt that the matter had little to do with him.
For such a big thing, the bosses must have discussed it.
He is just an apprentice magician, so he should just stay safe and continue to develop!
Let's leave the topic here.
Katon's lightbulb eyes flickered, and he said calmly, seemingly unconcerned: "Whatever you want."
Before he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the full bookshelf on the side.
Lu Yi took his cold words as an awkward agreement and followed him with a smile.
"Professor, are we going to look for suitable skill scrolls now?" Lu Yi asked.
Carton nodded, his eyes sliding across the neatly organized bookshelf in front of him.
"You are here to get the orange skill scrolls, right? This large area is full of orange skill scrolls. It would be very troublesome to search for them one by one. If you have any needs, you can tell me directly and I can make a rough preliminary screening for you."
Lu Yi looked at the rows of bookshelves in front of him and thought slowly: "...I need some skills that don't require a high level of study at the moment."
Most of the high-level skills of the human race are monopolized by the Church and the Magic Association. Even though the Klein family is extremely wealthy, their reserves of magic skill scrolls are extremely scarce.
While at Klein Manor, Lu Yi learned a lot of blue and purple level skills under the guidance of Zorn and Duke Klein.
As for the more advanced skill scrolls, on the one hand, he was a beginner at that time and his level was not high enough to learn them, and on the other hand, the high-level skill reserves of his family were not enough.
The resources that the nobles piled up were not high-level skill scrolls, but various types of magic stones full of energy.
As long as the Klein family stands, Lu Yi will have an endless supply of gold coins and magic stones.
As for higher-level skill scrolls?
Then Lu Yi can only rely on himself.
This was also one of the main reasons why Astor hoped that Lu Yi could make a rational choice of his college.
"It's best to have a powerful attack that can end it in one strike."
Lu Yi counted the skills he currently possessed and said slowly.
If his own magic power is ten, Lu Yi can use these ten points of magic power to deal ten points of damage.
Among the skills he currently possesses, either he can reduce the consumption by two or three points based on the ten points of consumption, or he can increase the damage by two or three points based on the ten points of damage.
They all have some effect, but the effect is not great.
Lu Yi urgently needs some skills that can expand his effects.
"You want to learn skills with a lower threshold? Are you sure? Even if they are all orange-level skills, there are still certain differences in strength within the same level. Skills with a lower threshold are likely not as good as skills with a higher threshold..."
Lu Yi nodded and said, "I know, thank you for the reminder, professor. But what I need more right now is indeed high-level skills that I can learn as quickly as possible."
High threshold skills?
Lu Yi still has three red skill scrolls given by Ares!
The threshold for these three scrolls is high enough.
Seeing that he answered decisively, Carton knew that Lu Yi had his own considerations and stopped trying to persuade him.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what element's talent did you awaken? Is there an element without secondary affinity? From what you said, you want to take the offensive route..."
Lu Yi's words made him instantly think of several suitable scrolls, but he was afraid that the attributes would conflict with each other. Even if Lu Yi learned it, it would only be half the result with twice the effort.
Lu Yi blinked and said, "Theoretically, any element is fine. I can learn the skills of the six main elements."
Hearing this, Carton looked up at him and said, "Yes, it seems that you are indeed a talented kid. I thought you only awakened the advanced light element..."
Only by being extremely sensitive to the elements of light can one detect the most subtle disharmony and even gain insight into the magic of darkness.
"But among these six elements, which ones do you have the highest affinity with? Light must be the first, right? What about the next highest?"
"Yes, light ranks first, and the remaining elements are not much different." Lu Yi said without hesitation.
Carton nodded. "Well, to be on the safe side, you inject magic power into my hands. You must inject the magic power of the six elements."
Katon stretched out his metal arm and stopped in front of Lu Yi.
Lu Yi held one of his fingers.
The slender white knuckles with a hint of pink pressed against the cold and hard metal, and the softness of the human race and the hardness of steel formed an extremely strong visual collision.
Carton lowered his eyes, and in a trance he felt that his palms, which had long lost their temperature, were also tinged with a gentle warmth.
But the next second, his trance turned into astonishment.
Full level affinity? ?
Full level affinity for all elements???
How is this possible? !
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Yi in disbelief.
If he hadn't personally confirmed it again and again, Carton would never have believed that there was someone in this world who could have the highest affinity with all six elements.
This is more than just being favored by the gods, but this is the gods' most beloved child that was accidentally left behind in the human world, right?
Carton looked at Lu Yi with a complicated expression, and the more he looked, the more he felt that he was glowing.
On the left is written "Future" and on the right is written "Boundless".
No wonder you can access the precious orange scroll at such a low level.
No wonder he wanted to go for the orange scroll with a low threshold.
I guess this means that you will never be short of advanced skill scrolls in the future?
Carton was filled with emotion and became more and more convinced of Goode's old prophecy.
Lu Yi's eyes were still on the two people's overlapping hands, and he was concentrating on transferring magic power into their palms.
"That's enough." Carton withdrew his hand.
"Professor, do you have any recommended skills?" Lu Yi asked expectantly.
Katon pulled out three skill scrolls carefully wrapped in cloth bags and introduced them one by one: "Thousand-pound Drop, a skill of gold and water elements, it can break ten thousand pounds with one force, and break invincibility with ten thousand pounds. There is no other additional effect, it is pure force. Gold and water are compatible with each other. The extremely hard gold and the soft and tough water are forcibly locked together, which can often play a one-hit kill role in a battle. It is a very fierce fighting style."
Katon originally did not intend to use this skill. Although Lu Yi himself said that he wanted a powerful skill, looking at his overly delicate face, Katon found it difficult to associate Lu Yi with this skill.
But this idea changed immediately after coming into contact with Lu Yi's magic.
After all, his face is pretty, but the magic power in his body is really fierce!
Maybe such a fierce move will unexpectedly suit him.
"Burning Flame, this skill is a bit special." Katon paused, "It doesn't burn the body, but the soul."
The improvement of the soul is much more difficult than that of the body. Under the same damage strength, the attack on the soul is obviously more powerful than the attack on the body.
Because this skill was so special, Carton only gave a brief introduction and left it at that.
A sufficiently powerful skill only requires a simple basic introduction.
"Gold and Wood Confrontation, a very contradictory and even somewhat cruel skill. Gold and wood are originally conflicting elements. Forcibly gathering them together will make the user feel the conflict of magic power in the body, but at the same time, the external damage will be directly multiplied several times, or even ten times. It's a bit like hurting yourself 100 times and hurting the enemy 1,000 times."
Critical hit! Lu Yi sighed silently, no wonder he was called Jin Muyan.
Reasonable, fits some stereotypes.
Caton noticed the movement in his eyes and asked, "How about it? Do you want to choose Jin Muyan?"
Lu Yi shook his head and said decisively: "No, Professor, I still want Blazing Flame."
Should we say it is worthy of being called the Orange Scroll?
Any of the three skills is very powerful when taken alone.
Absolutely powerful strike, soul attack, double critical strike.
After listening to each one, Lu Yi took action.
If the soul-burning attack wasn't so rare, he would have been hesitant for a while.
Fortunately, he had such a special skill that allowed Lu Yi to make a decision quickly.
Katon nodded and handed the skill scroll in the red cloth bag to Lu Yi.
"This is a really good choice. Soul-type attack skills are rare, and those with a low threshold are even rarer. I would also feel sorry if you missed this skill."
Lu Yi took the scroll and smiled at Kadon.
"I have to thank the professor for helping me find such a good skill among this pile of skill scrolls..."
There are so many skill scrolls in the Yunding Library. If Lu Yi were to search for them by himself, he might not be able to find such a suitable skill even if he searches for a long time.
The fact that Katon was able to clearly know all these skill scrolls was enough to show his strong memory.
"There's nothing to thank me for. This is what I should do." Carton shook his head.
"The threshold for Blazing Flame is low, and you can learn it now. Do you want to learn it right here, or take the skill scroll away and make plans later?"
Lu Yi held the scroll in his hand and said, "Now!"
It was originally a skill for my own use, and now I can learn it and get some guidance from the professor.
It would be a waste if you don’t take advantage of it!
Lu Yi, who had completely forgotten that he had the strongest teacher in the human race, said without hesitation.
The author has something to say:
Add more progress bar (2/8)!
I can’t finish writing it. I can’t finish writing it at all. QAQ
How come there were seven yesterday and eight today?
