Volume 1 The School of the Law of War Chapter 30 The Storm in the Moonlight
When Lu Ming returned to the real world, it was already the second half of the night, Xiao Mo suggested that he could go back at dawn, the space and the time in the real world flow synchronously, and the quality of rest could be guaranteed, but Lu Ming sternly refused, the reason can be imagined.
But he didn't wake up in a good state, the headache after waking up from dizziness mixed with the pain of the wound on his body that had not healed, and his throat was also terribly dry, like a hangover drunkard, forced to wake up and face the reality of life. He was lying on his bed in his new school uniform, with the remaining three new school uniforms next to his pillow, presumably carried back. He rummaged through the position of his chest for a while, took out the photo of his parents, looked carefully through the white moonlight outside the window, turned it over and saw the words on the back, and laughed silently for a long time.
To be honest, he was not surprised by the behavior of his parents, even a dull child like himself could see that something was being hidden from him at home, and his parents were even consciously guiding him in a certain direction; he also felt that one day, he would know a certain secret and pass it on, wouldn't the family still be well together? Not to mention that the messy boxing technique that his father taught him that day when he drank too much really played a role in actual combat.
You say it's all a coincidence, and he doesn't believe it.
But a series of events made him aware of the abnormality, secrets often come with a price, from the time he was sent to the Academy of War Law, an invisible storm seemed to gather around him, ready to devour everything that could be seen or not, whether he wanted it or not.
Lu Ming got up to find water to drink, but he accidentally didn't stand still and kicked an unknown object, making a loud noise in the second half of the night, and more than one cordial greeting sounded outside the window.
Yes, it's combative.
The dormitory of the Academy of Tactics is very simple, with a window table, a bed against the wall, and a small washroom for people to use, but there is no restriction on any legal decoration. The administrator of the dormitory is the ghosts of the school, who have been hanging up for countless years and wandering here for various reasons, and he can easily enter the dormitory through the walls of the dormitory, so he is complained by the students about the invasion of privacy, and can only be patrolled every day, but the ghosts are still happy, competing for this hard-won job, and it is said that there are some private transactions between each other.
It's puzzling, what can a bunch of ghosts exchange?
Lu Ming picked up the water glass, drank a large glass with a clatter, propped his hands on the table and gasped, feeling as if he had come back to life a little more, sitting on the chair and looking at the world outside the window.
This chair is still the first day he came, the chair that was teleported here from the principal's office, Lu Ming has always wanted to push back the magic and find a way back to the principal's office, but he has never succeeded, even if he makes great efforts to dismantle the chair, it will not help, I have to sigh that the quality of the principal's chair is good, no matter how it is shaken, it will not be broken, but unfortunately I can only use it myself, it would be good to have one more person.
Tonight is the Full Moon, and in various versions of mythology, there is something to be transformed. Lu Ming heard the wolf howl in the distance through the window, in the Academy of War Law, magical creatures are acceptable, but they must operate in the designated area and under close surveillance to ensure the safety of the campus. But in fact, it is a not so safe place inside the Academy of War and Law, so there are always tasks in the mission system to round up and hunt these magical creatures, and in contrast, there are personal protection missions and missions to attack humans issued by vampires and werewolf alliances, which are allowed within the School of War and Law.
Idle and bored, Lu Ming also opened his magic ring and began to check the task system, among which the tasks are varied, there are many types, ranging from the destruction of divine beasts in the sky and the earth, to the trivial search for pets, everything is available, with the tokens in the school as the unified task reward, the campus official can exchange real money 1 to 1, and can also exchange some rare resources in the school.
Those who can enter here to learn combat magic, except for the ruthless, are basically the leaders of the major families, naturally there is no shortage of money, just exchanging resources, and some relatively less wealthy students are engaged in black market trading, and the ratio of tokens to real money is about three or four, which can be called a huge profit.
Lu Ming casually browsed through a variety of tasks and information, where questions and communication with each other were allowed, more like a forum; on the other hand, he manipulated the fragments of Yun Tie to shuttle through the narrow room, and used the space system to teleport before smashing tables and chairs, killing two birds with one stone, he didn't ask Xiao Mo Yuntie about it, the violets in the space, the ground under his feet was wet, that is to say, he could water without a kettle, or was there more than one kettle, but just a certain Yuntie casually made a kettle?
Thinking of this, he was reluctant to think more deeply, Xiao Mo didn't tell him that there might be her own reasons, and now a subtle tacit understanding has been formed between them, one is bad, the other is beaten, but they never cross the line, both sides seem to be waiting for an opportunity, and this opportunity is never far away.
There was a ping-pong sound from the bathroom, it seemed that he had hit something, there was the edge of Lu Ming's control range, and it felt like there would be a little deviation, and he quickly swiped through the tasks and information of the magic ring projection, and crossed the questions such as "Five hundred miles urgently, I see a little fairy who majors in the wind element, and the third in the second row from left to right among the girls who line up to practice flying every morning, ask for contact information, it is best to talk, and the reward is negotiable." "This kind of love task, as well as "six hundred miles urgently, urgently ask for a copy of the original questions and answers for tomorrow's magic pharmacy exam, and the reward is an intermediary spell scroll." "The first floor is the big smiley face that the pharmacy teacher replied, the second to sixth floors are thumbs up expressions, the seventh floor is the anonymous student A, and the eighth floor is the administrator's message prompting the violation of the ban.
Lu Ming thought about it and crossed back to look at the name of the pharmacy teacher, and made up his mind not to take his/her class next year.
He tried to search for the background in his parents' photo, but found nothing, and just as he was about to close it, a new message popped up, sent by an anonymous administrator himself, with a bold red headline that quickly attracted the attention of many people:
Shocking secrets! Mysterious treasures appear in Zhongzhou! The ten major sects have gone all out! The Ministry of Magic has blocked the news!
Just this long title and the exclamation marks and parentheses that each sentence is precisely stepped on the thunder point, even made Lu Ming wonder if this was Xiao Wan's post, and the exaggerated tone was exactly the same as that of an idiot. But the post made by the administrator late at night represents the attitude of the school to a certain extent, and there is even a hint of lag when he clicks in, which shows the popularity of the fire.
At the beginning of the post, several concepts were described, including that Zhongzhou is the most central place in the entire magical continent, where the highest concentration of magical elements in the entire continent is gathered, and countless strange lives have also been born, and the world tree and well are also located here, so there are legends of treasures flowing out from time to time, and people believe it every time.
The Ten Great Sects refer to the ten more famous organizations in the entire continent, including the Ghost Capital and Penglai Pavilion that they encountered before, as well as the Southern Chu royal family that has recently had conflicts.
As for the Ministry of Magic's ban, it is vague and has no direct evidence, just that it has been threatened and warned, and it is impossible to describe it in detail
The content of the message is varied, some people propose that the ten major sects must be another bloody storm, and some people refute the rise of the magic association and the church in recent years, coupled with the clamping of the Ministry of Magic, the ten major sects have long since lost their former glory, and may avoid the death match, looking for an opportunity to get a piece of the pie, and some people have opened the gambling game, betting on who will be the first to discover and announce their findings, and there are many responders for a while, so it is not lively.
Lu Ming shook his head helplessly, if he hadn't lost a lot of money and shared it equally among the four of them (Luna and Lin Peng actually contributed more than half), he would also want to play a trick offline, which shows that staying up late and gambling are habits engraved in human bones, promoting the progress of human civilization day after day.
The sky outside the window gradually whitened, the moonlight faded, the buildings gradually revealed their clear outlines, and the whole world was immersed in the color between gray and blue, Lu Ming casually withdrew his magic ring, turning them from metallic silver to dazzling red, planning to change Luna's green tomorrow to make a pair, trying to change his magic ring into two colors at the same time but failed, the runaway color mixed into a lighter color mixed with two colors, and there was no way to return to the original color. It seems that this spell is not as easy as I thought.
Lu Ming poured another glass of water, and while drinking it, he brushed the reply to the Zhongzhou mission, some people had already offered a very high price to collect intelligence, including the Southern Chu royal family and other participants, and the unscrupulous posture also proved that something really seemed to happen on the other hand, and on the other hand, some of the ten major sects also proposed to sell intelligence in exchange for resources, which made people question the purpose of doing so.
Lu Ming is happy to watch the show, this kind of transaction is actually good for the third party, some people want to disrupt the situation, some people want to break the situation, they just need to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, anyway, he didn't think about getting involved, it is better to take the opportunity to observe the attitudes of all forces, so as to find breakthroughs and opportunities.
It's a long time coming.
Just when he was happy to watch the play, he received a private message from the Nanchu royal family, from Ya, which seemed to be a photo. Lu Ming was stunned the moment he clicked on it, it was the place in his parents' photo, the coast, the mountain cliffs in the distance, and the towering black tower, but there was no written explanation, and the questions Lu Ming responded to were all in the sea.
He took a deep breath and returned to the Zhongzhou mission exchange area, and found that someone had anonymously published this photo of the coast, and someone immediately recognized that this was the Demon Town Tower in the sea off the coast of Zhongzhou, which belonged to Shushan among the ten major sects. However, immediately after, the anonymous person posted a line of words that suffocated Lu Ming:
The demon tower is broken, the moonlight rises, where is the treasure, the hand of the beautiful person.
