my slow journey to infinity

Chapter 124 My Years in the Book Pavilion

There is no reason at all.

Even Wang Shui has never thought about killing teammates in cooperative missions. This is an act that completely harms others and does not benefit oneself, and it is also extremely difficult to implement.

Can awakened people kill each other?

Of course you can, but the system doesn't encourage it.

Except for real-life wars with the same camp and various cooperative tasks, the system does not restrict the actions of the awakened ones.

However, whether it is murder, extortion, or other harmful behaviors, the perpetrator will be marked with a [Danger Scale] to warn others not to provoke him.

In this fantasy world, the system has not marked any awakened person, which means that the perpetrator has not done any subjective harm.

Could it be?

"Hill, in this kind of reciprocal proxy war, can the awakened people from another parallel world sneak in?"

If it's an enemy, it's hard to say.

"As far as I know, no. The proxy war world is also known as the "military graduation" of command-type awakened people. This kind of world has always been very popular, and there is a lot of information on the Internet.

So far, in the data compiled by the system, there has never been a case where someone was able to sneak into the opponent's world before the war. "

Sylvia didn't say it to death, but her meaning was very clear, and the possibility was extremely slim.

And even if the enemy really sneaks over, after understanding the situation in this world, the other party should attack the important soft persimmons.

For example, aqua regia and "Divine Grace Petri Dish" are military logistics.

Brother "Ni Xue" is not a soft persimmon.

Wang Shui didn't think it was the enemy. There were too many problems. It was far more valuable to lurk and provide intelligence than to risk killing one or two people.

It has to be these teammates.

Some of them united with the natives to kill the two awakened ones, and even deliberately dispersed the souls.

So...the other party seems to know someone who can communicate with souls?

Or maybe it's just the other party's subconscious caution.

But he never imagined that Aqua Regia's alchemy could reach this level and capture the soul fragments that have not completely escaped. This kind of thing is also very difficult under the system.

Wang Shui used a modified version of the [Philosopher's Stone Refining Array], and combined with the master-level [Alchemy of Truth], he collected the soul fragments that were about to dissipate nearby.

These soul fragments were obviously not naturally dissipated, and had extremely regular cutting surfaces. This was why Shui Wang was able to determine that the murderer was an awakened person.

That is a characteristic that will only appear after the [Light Silver Coin] is crushed and absorbs the soul.

Light silver coins are not currency, nor are they quasi-currency silver coins circulating in the market.

The silver coins that are used as money on the market are actually consumables, and their full name is [Alchemy Silver Coin].

The light silver coin is another higher-end alchemical product, high-end, but not rare.

A complete light silver coin is a clean soul energy aggregate.

Wearing the Light Silver Coin directly can increase the soul strength of the awakened person.

If eaten directly, the light silver coins can also increase the awakened person's extraordinary level (not the level).

The second item is somewhat similar to the experience potion in the game, but this material has many other uses. The price has always been high, and no one will have the luxury to use it to upgrade.

Wang Shui can be sure that some of his teammates will definitely bring light silver coins, because such silver coins need to be "planted".

Generally, awakened people who often fight will always carry a [Light Silver Mold] with them and put an empty Light Silver Coin in it.

In this way, as long as he fights regularly, the [Light Silver Mold] can slowly absorb the soul remnants in the nearby environment and slowly cast a complete light silver coin.

This thing is very valuable, and it is also a good piece of equipment to wear directly for personal use.

In addition, the mold has a button that actively enhances power absorption. As long as it is activated, it can forcibly destroy the souls of nearby newly dead souls.

This is also a little trick that awakened people often use, and it has miraculous effects when used to deal with classical undead creatures.

The soul is invisible and traceless, and it is difficult to observe carefully in its complete state, let alone in its fragmented state.

Aqua Regia is not a master of souls, but he is a master of alchemy.

The soul, a mysterious thing that is both matter and energy, is nothing more than a material to him.

Wang Shui is now very convinced that the soul fragments at the scene were deliberately destroyed by someone who used up all the silver coins.

But, that's the only clue.

If anyone has a light silver coin on their body, it is estimated that except for Wang Shui, the remaining seven people should have it on their body.

It's not that Wang Shui doesn't like light silver coins, but he rarely participates in battles. Even if he wants to kill others, he prefers to directly refine them into the Philosopher's Stone.

This way the utilization rate is higher.

"Don't worry about it. If there is no body, we can't even determine the cause of death. If we are sure that it is their fault, we can reduce the contact, or wait until they bump into each other, so that we can save ourselves guessing."

Sylvia's words brought Shui Wang back to reality.

The safety pressure is not too great.

There are some issues that really bother him - the way of killing is one thing, but what is more important is the motive. Why did the other person want to kill?

Did brother Nixue know something that he shouldn't know?

"One more thing, we don't know the murderer's attitude towards the proxy war. Judging from his performance, he doesn't seem to care about the failure of the war?"

Wang Shui said, already taking Sylvia back to the office.

"Are you suspicious of that "Dragon Rider"? He did have some suspicions. The previous deceased "Purple Grimoire" went to school with him at Hogwarts, and he didn't seem to care about winning or losing the war. "

But for some reason, the "Dragon Rider" still gained the trust of the hunting team.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much," Wang Shui suddenly clapped his hands, then spread them out gently,

"I was negligent. I actually subconsciously felt that this was a crime committed by a single person, and I did not consider the situation of multiple murderers.

Tsk, don’t think about it anymore, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

If the other side really doesn't care about winning or losing the war, we should make serious preparations. "

Sylvia didn't answer, and she didn't need to answer. There were not so many suspense and conjectures in her world.

When you really face someone who is full of malicious intentions, in addition to being cautious when necessary, you have to rely on strength to solve the problem.

"I will leave for a while first. As for the laboratory... let's move it as soon as possible. Although the sisters will not really die, the laboratory will, and everyone's hard work cannot be wasted."

After saying that, Wang Shui nodded to Sylvia and then disappeared.

He is going to the Far East to study.

More than 10,000 kilometers, whether it is close or far.

With the help of the drones set up along the way, Wang Shui used [Apparition] twice and finally arrived at a hill.

This is not a famous mountain or river, it is just a small place with an altitude of less than 100 meters, named "Qinglong Mountain".

This small hill is located on the edge of a city unknown to Wang Shui. Half of its mountain is embedded into the side of an old university.

It's just evening now, and there are many students in the university doing activities, but no one comes to play on the mountain side.

Wang Shui didn't know this place. His hometown didn't have this city, let alone this university, so most of the information here was made up by the system.

After repeated confirmations, Wang Shui arrived at the top of Qinglong Mountain, where a faint "qi energy" guided him and led him to look up to the sky. In the night sky, a huge, cloud-shrouded mountain appeared inexplicably.

It floats quietly above the school, and also covers the nearby neighborhoods. But except for the top of Qinglong Mountain, from other angles, you can see the sky directly through the mountain.

[Double Dragon Sword Sect], that is, the extraordinary inheritance of the sword master, is located on this mountain.

The small Qinglong Mountain below is the entrance to [Xue Mountain] above.

Wang Shui did not rush up. He put the business card given to him by the sword master into the solid energy, and the small piece of paper rose directly into the sky.

Not long after, a small figure appeared from the foot of the mountain floating in the sky. It was the sword master who came down to pick up Shui Wang himself.

"I haven't seen you for a year, Ah Shui. How about it? It's about two thousand meters above the ground. Can you fly up there?"

The tone was quite casual, and the one who flew around Wang Shui and kept tapping Wang Shui's shoulders from all angles was [Sword Master Hang].

He is a bespectacled man who has not yet reached middle age. He is a little thin and looks like an ancient scholar, but he is not wearing that retro dress.

His current attire is similar to that of the students at the foot of the mountain.

"It should be possible, but you didn't lie to me when you specifically asked me to make this trip, right?"

"Of course, we are eager to give away all the things above, so hurry up and follow!"

The sword master "Hang" is straightforward and direct, but not reckless or aggressive. He is born with a clear sword and the ability to distinguish lies.

A year ago, after he ended his work as an observation group, he had been in correspondence with Wang Shui.

Wang Shui, who was eager for knowledge, changed back to his fine-tuned original form to contact "Hang", and even told his real name, just to see their practice system.

"Hang" had already soared into the sky after saying hello.

A long sword emitting a faint golden light was suspended beside him, as if the energy on the sword was carrying him flying through the air.

This speed is much faster than the broom in Hogwarts.

Aqua Regia can fly using magic, but the speed is too slow. After learning how to apparate, he also remembered a special way to play.

On the top of Qinglong Mountain, Wang Shui's body suddenly twisted and disappeared, and then he suddenly appeared again about four to five hundred meters above the top of the mountain.

The air held up Aqua Regia, allowing him to stand in the air.

After Wang Shui determined the next landing point and calculated it for about half a second, he disappeared again.

This time, he was several hundred meters closer to the [Xueshan] in the sky.

On the ground, wizards who know how to apparate can easily go anywhere within their sight.

But the sky is different. There is no effective reference above the sky.

If wizards do not have a clear sense of distance and directly use phantom transformation, they may end up "splitting" themselves.

Wang Shui is different from the local wizard. His apparation requires not only the image of the destination, but also accurate spatial coordinates.

The spatial coordinates themselves save Aqua Regia from the abstract and unstable parameter of [sense of distance].

In a few blinks, Wang Shui followed "Hang".

Sword Master Hang Ye just raised his eyebrows and continued to fly Wang Shui towards the palaces on the top of the mountain.

The buildings on the top of the mountain are more like Taoist temples than palaces.

The architectural form is relatively solemn and conservative, but it covers a very large area.

Xueshan has more than one peak, but Shuanglong Sword Sect uses huge buildings to connect the five peaks.

It's truly spectacular.

Wang Shui originally thought that he, who claimed to be an extraordinary person studying abroad, would be watched by many young and old members of the Sword Sect.

But maybe it was because of the night that Wang Shui only saw a few students-looking people in the corridor.

Seeing Wang Shui's deliberately suspicious look, Sword Master Hang explained:

"The Sword Sect does not require its disciples to stay on the mountain, but instead encourages them to go down the mountain to practice their hearts. The people up there are not good at learning and they can't fly down on their own.

Our leader is not here either. Last year he went down the mountain to dance in disco, met the one he loved, and immediately sealed his sword and returned to secular life. But after he survives this wife, he will naturally come back to practice again. "

"Uh, Head Gui Geng?"

"More than two thousand years old, right? Don't worry, he just lives a long life. In fact, he is very weak.

Look here, this is the [Wuya Bookstore] where various classics are stored. There are no direct methods of cultivation in it, and many of the texts are just conjectures.

However, there are still a large number of books that are quite reliable, and the knowledge corroborates each other, which is indeed helpful for cultivation.

In addition, there are many useless miscellaneous books here, and there are many things that you don’t need to read. Times have changed, and many time-sensitive things have changed. "

Wang Shui nodded and wrote down the coordinates here.

"Did you see the building opposite? That is - [Shu Jian Shan Yu Pavilion].

There are 6,772 spirit swords sealed there. Only by being recognized by the spirit swords can you obtain your own practice system and officially become a disciple of the sword sect. Otherwise, no matter how many miscellaneous books you read, you can only learn a little bit. Fur spell.

Qualified children will choose swords after the age of fifteen. Of course, this is also the spirit sword choosing them.

If you fail, you can do it again every year without a limit. "

"Is there no cap? Can I keep choosing until I die?" This was something Wang Shui never expected.

"Yes, that is our leader. It is said that two thousand years ago, he had not yet come down from the mountain in his seventies, and in the end he almost became the first person to die of old age on the mountain.

Finally, the Sword of Eternal Life couldn't stand him crying in front of the door, so he recognized him as his master. "

Ah this...

"Okay, don't worry about this. Starting tomorrow, you first read those miscellaneous books, mainly "Taihe Yuanqi", "Qi Yu Shen" and "Qi Qi".

After reading this, you can gather "qi" in your body and choose a sword. It shouldn't be difficult for you. "

"Can I choose too?"

"All Chinese children have the option, but the spirit sword cannot be self-transmitted. When you die, your spirit sword will fly back here and continue to seal itself."

It's a strange inheritance.

The people here don't seem to simply "train Qi", nor do they practice internal and external alchemy. Each of them has a somewhat different system.

"If it's convenient, I'd like to start watching tonight. You don't have any plans, right?" Wang Shui was straightforward.

"Don't worry, the sword can't escape. Let's go down to have a meal first, and then you can stay in the bookstore as long as you want.

There are side rooms for people to live in, but if you want to live there, you have to be responsible for cleaning. "

Of course this little thing is nothing.

After dinner, Sword Master Hang asked about the war situation again. He was not aggressive, but he was very concerned about the war.

After all, no one wants to see war burning down their hometown.

　I had stomachache for a day and felt a little painful.

　　Post it first and then revise it. Today is the last day, and perfect attendance is still required. The number of words after revision will only be more. If you write more, you will get it for free.

　　Alas, having diarrhea and dehydration on New Year's Day is really a life-threatening experience...
