Luo Fan just tried it out, and it seems this secret room is bound by some kind of magic. Items can only be taken out of the space, not put back in.
Carefully carrying the stone slab, Luo Fan found Caitlin, who was reading a book.
"Your Highness, may I take this stone slab with me?"
"Wait a moment!" Caitlin was focused on some research, and after a short while, she turned to look at the black stone slab next to Luo Fan.
I picked it up and examined it carefully; all I could see were messy lines, with no discernible pattern.
"Can you understand what's written on it?"
"I don't understand it, but I feel that this thing is very useful to me! Your Highness, please help me persuade your father!"
"Hehe, I know your temper too well. This thing definitely has something hidden inside."
"Really, there isn't any. Look for yourself! I can sense dark magic on this stone slab. I really want it. My dear princess, please!"
Caitlin studied the stone slab carefully for a while, but it didn't react at all. Just as Luo Fan had said, there was only a trace of dark element lingering nearby.
However, since it's so important to Luo Fan, and this little guy has already bowed his head, this thing is probably not that simple.
“I have a feeling you’re lying to me. Why don’t you just stay here? You can come in whenever you want to see it anyway.”
"My dear princess, I beg you. If you leave, it won't be easy for me to get in!"
Ugh, you wretched little wench, why are you being so shrewish now? I wouldn't hurt you.
"In that case, I'll go and confirm with my father first. If he agrees, it's not impossible to give it to you."
"Really?" Luo Fan tried his best to suppress his excitement. This bitch must have some conditions.
“You need to agree to three conditions. If you agree, we’ll go find Father right away.” Caitlin pondered what kind of requests she should make so that he wouldn’t be offended and would obediently agree.
"Tell me first, what are the conditions!" Having learned his lesson last time, Luo Fan had become more astute.
“First, my father is in trouble, and you must help him unconditionally.” Caitlin thought for a moment, realizing that if she left, those people might cause trouble again.
Since Luo Fan will stay here, it's a good option to have a backup plan.
"Your father needs my help? My princess, I'm just an ordinary slime!" Luo Fan struggled, not wanting to get involved in something so thankless and exhausting.
"Hehe, you just need to agree or disagree." Caitlin smiled, like a cunning little fox, unafraid that Luo Fan would disagree.
Luo Fan thought for a moment and could only reluctantly agree. "This will be void once you get back, so that shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"No problem!" I'm back, so you have to listen to me obediently.
"And the second one?"
“If someone tries to force me into marriage, you have to help me resolve it, right? That’s easy! Besides, you wouldn’t want to see me marry someone else, would you?” Caitlin smiled as she looked at the slime in front of her, finding it quite pleasing to the eye.
"No problem!" Luo Fan agreed readily this time. After all, she was his chosen concubine, and her future was inextricably linked to Xianxian's.
"Hehe~, I knew you wouldn't object, this is valid indefinitely."
"Okay, what's the last one?"
"I haven't decided yet, but I won't make things difficult for you, is that alright?"
If he truly succeeds in transforming into human form and masters the power of the laws, he must leave himself a way out. Caitlin pondered patiently; after all, there's still a long road ahead.
Luo Fan thought for a while, and finally reluctantly agreed. "Once I've completed my transformation, I'll definitely torture you, you old fox!"
With the blessing of the inscription, you'll definitely be bedridden for half a month!
Caitlin had no idea what Luo Fan was thinking at that moment, and she was still laughing happily. She pulled Luo Fan and walked out, afraid that he would change his mind halfway.
"This is~," the emperor said, flipping through past records to examine the details about the stone slab. "A black stone slab, its effects are unknown and await further evaluation."
"Father, since it couldn't be identified before, why not give it to Luo Fan? There's no loss anyway." Caitlin was now very cooperative, eager for her father to agree.
"Why don't we let Gandalf take a look? Perhaps he has some ideas?" The emperor was still somewhat suspicious and began to examine the stone slab, but still couldn't see anything wrong with it.
"Father~" Caitlin winked at her father, afraid that things might get complicated if she delayed. After all, even with the royal family's previous strength, they hadn't been able to figure it out, so it was better to do a favor now.
The emperor handed the stone tablet back to his daughter, and finally agreed. Since his daughter had made such a request, the slime must have promised her something, otherwise she wouldn't have been so eager.
Luo Fan's tense mood finally eased, and he put the stone slab away in front of them.
After a brief conversation, Luo Fan left with Catelyn, intending to visit Gandalf and inquire about the special characters in the Puppet Temple.
Unfortunately, the old man didn't know much either, guessing it might just be some symbols, and he needed to do more in-depth research.
Back at the princess's residence, Luo Fan slipped back to Ellie's room and started working on upgrading her.
If Ellie were to come in now, she would probably be startled.
The room was filled with tiny slimes, which were carving something on a dark magic crystal of the same size as the slime.
The long-awaited simultaneous operation of multiple threads is just too taxing on one's mental energy.
At this moment, Luo Fan was focused on tracing the newly appeared lines, fearing any mishaps. His consciousness was highly concentrated, directing hundreds of clones to simultaneously inscribe the same content.
Finally, when the door opened, he had completed all the operations, using the inscriptions to guide him to pour all the energy from the magic core into his own.
"Luo Fan, what are you doing?" Ellie asked curiously, seeing so many of his clones for the first time.
(≧▽≦), making a funny face, Luo Fan said smugly, "I've found a great way to level up!"
"Um?"
"I can now consume hundreds of magic cores at once. Wait a moment." After saying that, Luo Fan began to retract his black clone and re-condense it into one. The level quickly reached 40, which was quite amazing.
"Indeed, with the inscriptions as a foundation, the efficiency of energy absorption and the utilization rate of the magic core have both increased significantly."
Ellie was stunned. How did Luo Fan manage to do that? It was incredible! Inscriptions could have such an effect.
At this moment, Luo Fan's condition was still very stable, and he did not experience the relaxation that comes with absorbing the magic milk.
"How about that? You're amazed by my performance again, aren't you? I'm just that good!" Having found a shortcut to level up, Luo Fan was quite happy.
With enough dark magic cores, I can level up quickly, and reaching the maximum level is definitely not a dream.
"By the way, Ellie, do you still have any dark magic cores? Mine are almost all gone."
"No, they're all with you, aren't they?" Ellie quickly accepted reality. Now she was incredibly resilient and had developed a strong resistance to Luo Fan's various antics.
(＞﹏＜), How could this be? Without magic cores, how am I supposed to level up?!
