Chapter 245 The Best Place for a Date (Part 1)
Esteria...Floating Mountain...
Two months ago, no, including the time here, it should be four months ago. Back then, the news of AlphaGo defeating Fan Hui hadn't yet broken, and Google's AI paper hadn't yet been published. Back then, I decided to reach level five, buy a flying machine, and go to Esteria to see the floating mountain.
It is already May in the main plane, which is a good time for early summer. I will go to the Lorin Tower to open the level 18 authority, and then I can go to the Sibed Arcane Aircraft Company on the second floor to buy an aircraft.
When the time comes, I will bring the succubus as a flight attendant and fly directly to Estella in a private plane.
Wow.
Huh? Why is there no tail?
It’s okay, if there’s no tail, we can just insert one ourselves.
I happened to have a red and black tail left by the cosplayer named "Mirai-chan" from last time, which matched the colors perfectly.
Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing.
Although these wings are black, they feel very good, smooth, shiny, soft and tender.
Huh? I didn't notice it just now, but Claudia has two horns on her head after she transforms?
These two horns are so convenient to use. Succubus really don’t grow useless things.
Is the corner also a point of departure?
The gameplay has suddenly become richer.
Claudia is very cooperative, after all, it’s for her son.
Poor parents in the world.
Fang Yu promised in the Eternal Oath Contract that he would resurrect George within 30 years, which gave him enough time.
With George's spirit in hand, resurrecting George would be much easier than resurrecting his mother. He wouldn't even need to exchange spirits with the astral realm. He could just ask the astral realm to separate George's spirit from the three.
It is estimated that the consumption is only a few thousand magic crystals at most.
Even if the Star Realm still insists on using spirituality as a trading item at that time, Fang Yu is not planning to use the spirituality collected from Blue Star.
On the contrary, his next step is to collect spirituality in the main plane. After collecting enough, he will take it back to Blue Star to see if he can use it on Blue Star.
It’s not that he wants to use the spiritual power of the main plane to subsidize Blue Star, but he wants to experiment what the relationship between the two worlds is.
Both have magic networks and astral realms, but they are not the relationship between the main plane and the secondary plane.
And as long as you go to one world, the time in the other world will not move. This is really a very strange thing.
The relationship between the Lorin Tower demiplane and the main plane is easy to understand. The time in the two is the same. The time spent in the main plane will also change as usual in the Lorin Tower.
This shows that even if different planes have an impact on time, the impact is not that great.
But what was strange was that no matter whether he went to the main plane or Lorin Tower, the time on Blue Star was paused.
The same is true in reverse.
In this regard, he had a guess: could it be that Blue Star and the main plane are the same space, just in different eras?
For example, the main plane or which sub-plane is the blue planet hundreds of millions of years later?
But according to Yuzu's observations, although both worlds have moons, their sizes and masses are completely different. More importantly, the star maps in the sky are completely different.
Could it be that Cthulhu's stars returning to their positions is really true?
Fantasy becomes reality?
This speculation is undoubtedly impossible to confirm or refute at this stage.
But what would happen if he brought the spirituality of the main plane back to Blue Star?
If the two are in the same space, will it cause a space-time paradox?
After all, if it is really the same space but different time, it means that the same spirit appeared in the star realm of Blue Star at different times. What will happen then?
Fang Yu's guess was just a guess. The first thing he did after returning to the main plane was to look at the arcane map. He couldn't see any teleportation points on it, which meant that the possibility that this was a certain time period in the future of Blue Star was very low.
As for the possibility that the main plane is a certain period of time in the past of Blue Star, that possibility is even lower.
After all, modern geology has surveyed the strata dating back more than a billion years and has not found any remains of prehistoric civilization.
——
After Fang Yu learned the third-level spell "Cast Curse" from the School of Incantations and the third-level spell "Remove Curse" from the School of Life in Adrian's cozy cottage (Note 1), he did not switch back to Blue Star immediately. Instead, he asked Earl Harold to find two girls who also suffered from blood disease to experiment with them.
After all, Lu Jiayan's condition can't be delayed any longer, so it's better to be cautious.
Is this the true nature of the blood curse?
The white doll, which seemed to be carved out of ivory, had a lifelike face, delicate features, two blue gems inlaid in its eyes, and its hands were clenched tightly, with a solemn expression and a hint of pain.
On the surface of the seemingly exquisite puppet, fine blood-colored sand lines appear and disappear from time to time. If you observe carefully with mental power, you will find that each tiny sand line is composed of countless tiny runes.
These tiny runes were twisted and split, writhing in an extremely strange pattern, like living things.
3rd-ring alchemical item - "Cross Doll".
This is not a product of the Piedmont Alchemy Company, but a product of the Life School Laboratory store, specifically used to store curses transferred out of the human body.
According to legend, the appearance and expression of this doll were carved based on the face of an 8th-level intermediate wizard named Kros 7500 years before the Great Arcane Age.
At that time, arcane theory had yet to be perfected, and the six major systems had yet to be fully established. It was also during this historical period that the main plane nearly encountered a world-destroying crisis, known in history as the "Curse of the Scourge."
It is said that it was because of the war between two countries that various curses were rampant in the world. Finally, one day, no one knew which country summoned a curse called "Tarsal Maggot", which killed nearly 70% of the population of the main plane in just 30 years.
The power of "Tarsal Maggot" is actually not that great. It can only work on civilians and cannot be transmitted to arcane mages at all.
The true power of this curse lies in its long incubation period, strong infectiousness, and near-impossibility of eradication using the arcane means of the time. This tenacious characteristic is also the source of its name.
Initially, since this curse was almost ineffective against arcane mages, the arcane mages who generally served in the courts of various countries at that time did not take it seriously.
It was not until several years later, when a large number of ordinary people infected with the "Tarsal Maggots" died, that the arcane mage community began to truly pay attention to this seemingly weak but extremely tenacious curse.
Only when the arcane mage truly began to understand this curse did he realize how difficult it was. This was a curse that was spread through spirituality.
After twenty years of research, the arcane wizard was still helpless against this curse until Cross appeared.
Cross discovered that this curse was not incapable of being transmitted to arcane mages. On the contrary, this curse was very attractive to arcane mages whose life essence had been enhanced.
However, the strength of the arcane mage's mental power is too high, and this curse cannot be transmitted to the arcane mage through the spirit protected by the mental power. If the arcane mage blocks his own mental power and completely opens the spirit, this curse may also be transmitted to the arcane mage.
No, to be precise, it was transferred to the arcane mage.
When an arcane mage completely opens up his spirituality, the higher his life essence is, the more he can attract the curses attached to ordinary people to abandon their hosts and rush into the arcane mage's body.
Cross made a decision to use himself as bait to clear the world of the "Tarsil Maggot" curse.
As an eighth-level mage, his mental radius is 5 kilometers.
At that time, most countries and cities in the entire plane had collapsed because of this catastrophe. The remaining tribes began to live in isolation from the outside world and were very wary of outsiders, fearing that they would be infected by this unpreventable curse.
Just like that, Cross unleashed his spirituality and, like plowing the land, sat on his flying car and tried to suck away all the Tarsal Maggot curses from the entire continent.
So, wherever he passed by, within a radius of ten kilometers, all the civilians infected with the tarsal maggots transferred to his body like moths to a flame.
In just three days, it saved more than one million ordinary people.
But it was obviously impossible for him to resist so many Tarsal Maggot curses by himself. Therefore, in just three days, Cross lost his life because of this terrible curse.
Fortunately, the principles he explored pointed the way for arcane mages. In the second year after his death, arcane mages developed a way to deal with this curse. Finally, in seven years, they completely eliminated the "tarsal maggot" that had been rampant in the main plane for thirty years.
During the Age of the Great Arcane, although the Alliance of Arcane developed the three-level ritual spell "Remove Curse" of the School of Life that was applicable to almost all curses, in order to commemorate the great Cross who lived more than 7,000 years ago, the iconic spell material used for "Remove Curse" - the alchemical dolls - all used Cross's appearance.
Fang Yu bought a total of 10 Cross dolls at the Life School Laboratory store. They were not expensive, 10 gold browns each and 1 magic crystal was enough to buy 10 Cross dolls.
According to Yuzu, this is the humanitarianism of the Great Arcana Age.
Just now, by casting the ritual spell of "Remove Curse", Fang Yu had successfully transferred the blood disease in the body of the little girl lying in the magic circle into the Cross doll. Then he cast a healing spell on the little girl to heal her body that had been destroyed by the blood disease.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master." The little girl's father held the child in his arms and bowed to Fang Yu with tears in his eyes.
Although he is less than 30 years old, the little girl's father looks as old as 50.
There is no other way. With the level of productivity in this world, it is already amazing that the little girl's father did not give up on his sick children and insisted on treating them.
After all, for ordinary people in this world, if their children get this strange disease and they don’t give up treatment and wait for death, it would be tantamount to dragging the entire family to be buried with the child.
The little girl hid her eyes in her father's arms, and her big eyes blinked at Fang Yu, showing both gratitude and curiosity.
"If you can't make a living in Baisong Town, Melo Valley, Winter Castle, Qingxi Town, and Wald Village, you can settle down in these places, or go directly to Elbery. I plan to build a city there, and we need a lot of manpower." Fang Yu thought about it and gave the father and daughter a suggestion.
These places were fiefs he obtained from the Belvitt family. The population was sparse, and Fang Yu just needed more people to build a base.
Harold Belvitt was still very cunning. In order to avoid the emergence of a country within a country, several of his fiefdoms were enclaves.
The largest county, Albery, not only has barren land unsuitable for farming, but is also blocked on both sides by Lake Russen and the Horn River, which is full of dangerous rapids. Its largest industry is fishing, and its development space is very limited.
At the same time, because of the existence of the divine oath contract of the six gods and thirty-two countries, these fiefs were said to be permanently transferred to Fang Yu, but in fact Fang Yu could not enjoy full territorial rights like the nobles.
He could not levy territory taxes and head taxes on these areas, and could only levy commercial taxes and transaction taxes in the name of the lifelong territory manager. The nominal lord of these territories was still the Belvitt family.
He is also responsible for the security and defense of the territory.
However, these were not important to Fang Yu. He had no intention of collecting any land tax or head tax from these poor beggar-like subjects.
Fang Yu already had a mature plan on how to develop his own base.
——
After the experiment was successful, Fang Yu switched back to Blue Star immediately.
"Lao Fang, where have you been? Why did you take so long to come back? Drink, drink!" Hu Jiangbo's face turned red from drinking, and Han Xiao and the three guys from the dormitory also joined in the fun.
"Yes, yes, drink a penalty... Hey? Lao Fang, why does your hair seem to have grown longer after you went out for a while?" Lu Xuechang was also drunk.
Fang Yu was having a meal at the East Suburbs campus when he was afraid that he would not be able to resist using "Lightning Magic" to smash the mouths of these guys, so he ran outside temporarily to start the switch.
The switch is made every eight hours, and each time it comes back, it is switched back. In the past week or so in the main plane, it took nearly thirty switches, and the time on Blue Star also moved forward by more than ten minutes.
After all, it takes dozens of seconds to switch here every time.
Is your hair longer?
Uncle Lu is quite perceptive.
Fang Yu quietly performed a disguise on himself without making a sound.
"You're drunk and your eyes are blurry, right?" Fang Yu picked up a string of chicken hearts and took two bites. "Didn't you say you had something to do tomorrow? Why are you still drinking?"
"Eh? It seems so." Lu Xuechang rubbed his eyes, shook his head, and his face flushed. "No more drinking, no more drinking. Tomorrow is Saturday, and I plan to meet a schoolmate. Drinking any more will delay things tomorrow."
Luo Ziming curled his lips: "The one from Zhou Language and Literature? That girl likes to pretend to be a hipster. Let me tell you, you can't handle her unless you spend money."
Lu Xuechang glared: "What's wrong with spending money? I'm willing to do it! Isn't money meant to be spent? Why bother with emotions when you can just spend money?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiang couldn't help but shake his head.
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at Lu Xuechang with admiration.
That's great, Uncle Lu. I didn't expect that you can't do anything even if you hit you with eight sticks. Your outlook on love is quite healthy and promising.
"Lao Fang, can you give me some advice? Where should I ask her to go tomorrow?" Lu Xuechang asked humbly.
Fang Yu pondered for a moment: "How long have you known each other? How many times have you been out together? What stage are you at?"
"He's just talking big." Luo Ziming couldn't help but complain, "We've known each other for a month, and she just went out for dinner with him, and even asked her roommates to join us. If it were me, I should take that girl to Happy Valley. With a ride on the roller coaster and pirate ship, wouldn't that create the suspension bridge effect?"
"I'm asking Lao Fang, a theoretical warrior like you should stop talking nonsense." Lu Xuechang was not polite.
Fang Yu took another skewer of tendon and asked, "Where did you plan to ask her out?"
Lu Xuechang was unsure: "Let's go to Joy City? There's a lot of food, drinks, entertainment, and shopping there. Didn't Lao Luo say that if you want to pick her up, you have to spend money?"
Fang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Send her a WeChat message later and ask her to go to Faning Temple. It's said that Faning Temple is very effective and the scenery is beautiful. This season is very suitable for hiking and taking pictures."
Faning Temple? Several people looked at each other in confusion.
"Lao Fang, going on a date with someone in a temple, isn't that... bad?" Lu Xuechang asked tentatively.
Fang Yu chuckled: "In your situation, the best place for a date right now is a temple. Give it a try, you should be able to get someone together. We'll talk about what to do after you get together."
Lu Xuechang was half-believing and half-doubting. He picked up the phone on the table and sent a WeChat message to his junior schoolmate in the School of Arts.
Not long after, Lu Xuechang's WeChat rang.
"Wow, Lao Fang, she actually agreed. What's next?" Lu Xuechang's eyes lit up.
"Then you'll just do this..."
The protagonist's guess about time and space is wrong, I'm telling you that in advance.
The authors have been very quiet recently, and I am also quiet
Note 1: In DND, bestow curse should be a spell of the School of Necromancy, but I now classify it as a spell of the School of Incantation. Firstly, it has the word "curse" in it, which is easier for readers to understand. Secondly, the book's secondary setting of the source of the curse makes it more in line with the essence of "summoning" of the School of Incantation.
This is a secondary setting of this book, not dnd's original intention, please be aware.
Please give me a monthly ticket! ! ! !
