Turning a street corner, the cafeteria of the academy suddenly appeared in front of Li Yi's eyes, next to the wooden door number was a thick birch tree, with a straight trunk and lush branches, rustling in the evening breeze.

"This restaurant is set up within the academy, and the food inside contains spiritual power, which is very suitable for improving the physical fitness of explorers, and the most satisfying thing is that it serves meals twenty-four hours a day, just like this." Edmund was familiar with the way and walked into the restaurant with Li Yi.

"I want a private room upstairs." He took out a gold card.

The two gold cards were revealed, and the waiter naturally did not dare to slack off, and after ordering, Edmund closed the door of the box.

"Let's go, I like to talk about things at the dinner table." Unceremoniously, he picked up a whole prosciutto and sandwiched it in the bread and munched on it.

"These foods are so rich in spiritual power!" Li Yi saw that there was a rich white spiritual power bubbling in the food, like a steaming steam, "I really don't know how they poured spiritual power into it." ”

Suddenly, the three-colored rose pupil in Li Yi's left palm moved slightly, and it actually came out, and then the long whale sucked it violently like drinking water, and all the white spiritual power in those foods was sucked into its body by it, and there was nothing left!

"Poof!" Edmund turned his back and squirted out all the haggis sausages in his mouth.

Li Yi didn't know what to say, this was his biggest secret, and now that it was completely exposed, God knows if this newly recognized big brother would be greedy.

"Don't worry, I won't rob you, besides, I already have a contract with the three spirits, and I can't sign it anymore," Edmund was surprised, he stretched out his hand and pinched the little thing that looked full of flesh, "The mutated three-color rose pupil is too powerful, the three-color rose pupil is the king of the phantom spirit, and the mutated one is even more fierce, playing with others between applause, this young spirit is born blue-level, if you choose to use the blood contract to force the contract, you will definitely die, I heard that the Bruce of the Imperial Academy failed to sign a garbage mutant spirit, it's really rubbing." ”

"I'm also going to make a voluntary contract with it, but I just now understood how to make a contract in the library, otherwise," Li Yi told Edmund about his experience.

"Well, that means that you are almost a companion, coupled with your exaggerated spiritual affinity, signing a contract is really a trivial matter, so let's sign it here!" Edmund waved his hand, "If there's a mutant spirit, you'll be much more powerful." ”

"Mutants are so dismissive? Big brother, why aren't you surprised at all? "Li Yi is very strange.

"I don't think it's very rare, among my three spirits, one is a mutation, and it is the top grade of the mutation, the second is the acquired qualification to break through to the mutation, and the third is an ancient spirit." Edmund explained, "And, what about having good qualifications? Many explorers have three ordinary spirits that are well matched, and they still kill mutations, which is nothing. ”

"It's amazing, I don't know who invented these ancient contracts, can you really make a contract with the spirit by reciting these spells?" Li Yi held the three-color rose pupil in the palm of his hand and said with a frown.

Unexpectedly, Edmund burst into laughter, "This spell just makes you religious, serious, young spirits don't understand these babbling things, they will feel your heart, and then make a decision." ”

"I see." Li Yi suddenly realized, "Without further ado, I'll sign a contract with it now." ”

"Well, the most important thing in this ritual is to communicate with the spirit, you have to enter the heart of the spirit, and at the same time open your heart to the spirit without reservation, some people don't even dare to face themselves, they can't sign this kind of voluntary contract in their lifetime."

Li Yi held the three-colored rose pupil on his chest to feel the little guy's heart.

The light blue spiritual power gradually spread out from its body, in fact, it must be said, Li Yi has been lonely for life all these years, eating and drinking, and small things have been with him, although one person and one spirit do not know what kind of relationship they are interdependent, but they are already inseparable.

A mysterious bond was established between them, and Li Yi clearly felt the heart of the three-colored rose pupil, and a young female voice sounded in his heart, "I'm Isabella." "The young spirit told the explorer his name, which was a sign of the success of the contract.

"Oh, it's a perfect contract, it's seamless, you'll slowly know the benefits in the future, let's continue to eat." Edmund saw Li Yi open his eyes with a smile on his face, knowing that the contract was successful, so he sighed in admiration.

"Well, it's rare to have such a sumptuous dinner!" Li Yi was very happy, this fulfilled one of his wishes, Isabella looked a little tired, and quietly got into his left hand, as if she was resting.

"Yours mutant spirit better not show people easily, find another ancient spirit to sign, and then use the ancient spirit on the bright side, the mutant spirit is a hidden killer, and with this voluntary contract phantom, it is easy to trick other spirits into signing a contract." Edmund had a playful smile on his face, and it seemed that both of his and his spirits had been tricked into a contract by the first spirit.

"It turns out that there are such benefits! But where do I go to find the Ancient Spirits? Li Yi also read the introduction of ancient spirits in the library, the ability of this spirit is very different from the ability of the current spirit, many unique spirit techniques are mysterious, their number is very small, and due to the change of the living environment, the current heaven and earth are not conducive to their growth, so some explorers with ancient spirits found that the growth of these rare spirits is extremely slow, and the fight is not satisfactory, and gradually this kind of spirit has become a chicken-like existence, but there are also famous powerful existences that use ancient spirits, Their numbers are as scarce as those of Explorers with Mutant Spirits.

"There's one in this academy." Edmund Cow drank a large glass of fresh milk, wiped his mouth, and told Li Yi.

"Oh? The academy raises ancient young spirits? "Li Yi doesn't want to expose the fact that he has a mutant spirit, it would be best if he could cover it up with an ancient spirit, although the training and growth of the ancient spirit is very difficult, but it is definitely an existence that overwhelms the spirit of the same level.

"The academy will provide a batch of high-quality young spirits to new students, students who join the academy can choose for free, and those who borrow can only be purchased, these high-quality spirits are very good, the gap in the qualifications of the spirits can only be seen until the B-level level or above, for those whose goal in life is to be a C-level explorer, these high-quality spirits are enough for them to use. I looked at this batch of goods in advance, and unexpectedly found that there was an ancient spirit among them, originally this ancient spirit was not supposed to be so cheap and half sold and half given to students, but it was a steel spirit. ”

"Steel-based spirits? Isn't that practiced by very few people? Li Yi was puzzled, the steel spirit is a kind of spirit that is very chicken, they are known for their exaggerated defensive power, but the speed is extremely slow, because the huge and inconvenient body is difficult to flip and move, so as long as you bypass them, it is easy to attack the explorer itself, so the only explorers in the mainland who train the steel spirit are mostly to hold a narrow level, out of strategic considerations, or to explore dangerously, and use the steel spirit to advance, this kind of explorer has given up the battle and acted as a pure auxiliary, However, among many large forces, such non-aggressive explorers are also popular. Even pure attack spirits that were a few levels higher would have a hard time breaking through their defenses.

"Yes, it's an unpopular one, but I happen to have read an ancient book that introduces an absolute king who has been rampant in antiquity and goes head-to-head, Gore Gonggang Ling," Edmund ordered another glass of milk, and seemed to say a lot of things that made his mouth dry.

"The biggest flaw of the steel spirit is the speed, if they are fast enough, then they can resist the attack of several spirits of the same level, which can be called an unbreakable shield, there is no fast steel spirit in this world, don't think about it, the Gore Gong steel spirit is not fast, but they will use spiritual power to form a magnetic field, attracting any kind of spiritual power except for steel spiritual power, in addition, they are the only monster that can let the spiritual power of steel be released and blessed to other spirits, it can be said that whoever practices the same level is almost invincible, you are a phantom spirit control field, Golgong absorbs firepower, and the third one can choose the spirit of strong attack, and this combination is

It's very perverted, unless the strength is too much higher than you, it can only be slowly killed by you. Legend has it that after advancing to the S rank, the Golgong Steel Spirit will split the Eye of the Golgong on his forehead, turning everything he sees into stone, and he is invincible in a head-to-head confrontation. ”

"Then that steel spirit" Li Yi swallowed dryly, "Yes"

"Indeed, I checked it carefully, it's a gol worker, I originally wanted to see which student could be lucky enough to have it, and now it's yours, the asymmetry of information has made the academy suffer a big loss, who told them not to read, hahahaha!" Edmund laughed smugly, "However, the record in this book can be wrong, or exaggerated, or the steel spirit is not the Gorgong steel spirit, I just provide a clue, whether you want to bet once the decision is up to you." ”

"Flutter!" Li Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Why don't you bet?" Thank you big brother, I've only known each other for less than a day, and you helped me like this, it's really"

"Don't say such unseemly things, a person with a good character like you is liked everywhere," Edmund finished his last large steak and stood up, "You can find that ancient spirit yourself, anyway, there are only a few steel ones, if you stay up late to read, the key to the library will be placed here first, and I will bring you breakfast tomorrow." ”

"yes, okay." Li Yi understood that this was a small test for him, if he didn't even have the ability to recognize that Gordon Steel Spirit, let alone find it, Edmund was not his nanny, and he had to help him in every detail.

Li Yi returned to the library alone, he took out the key, opened the heavy metal door, locked it and continued to immerse himself in his sea of books, the habit of reading books all year round made him browse extremely fast, it was ten lines at a glance, I don't know how long it had passed, he hadn't even finished reading the books on the first floor, but the information about Goergong Gangling was found out by him from the bibliography on the table at the door, which was a certain location on the fourth floor.

He went up to the fourth floor, opened the steel door at the entrance with his gold card, and found the tome without incident.

"In this case, my second spirit will choose its contract, the explorer can only sign three spirits, and now I still lack one, the offensive spirit is essential, it is impossible to fight only by defense, but where to find it? Forget it, let's rely on adventure, after all, I'm only twelve years old, and there is time. Li Yi thought, he completely forgot that his mind was comparable to that of an adult, and he was so proficient in affairs at this age, he was definitely a monster-like existence.

The night passed quickly, and at dawn Edmund walked in with a basket covered with a large wet white towel.

"Wow, what is this?" After reading the book all night, Li Yi felt tired and hungry, but he was full of energy, and when he saw this wide-bellied bamboo basket, he immediately jumped up.

"Haha, you're very energetic, today's freshmen shouldn't have officially started classes, if you have the opportunity, you go to those explorer unions and clubs in the city to have a look, those bounty tasks have a high pay, and those tasks issued by the academy are for ordinary students to practice, and the pay is low." Edmund uncovers the towel, revealing the contents inside. A cold roast chicken topped with a sweet sauce and a couple of toasted golden shiny blueberry pies, bread and cheese are of course essential, and finally a few apples.

"Awesome!" Poor Li Yi has spent most of his life receiving relief and eating low-quality bread to live, and such a delicacy can only be seen through the glass window.

The two happily shared a hearty breakfast, and Li Yi decided to go to his dormitory first, sleep until noon, and then go to the club that Edmund said in the afternoon.

He first went to the central hall of the academy and checked his account at the cashier's office, and there were indeed a thousand white-level spirit crystals in it, the spirit crystal is the currency traded in the explorer realm, twenty white spirit crystals can be exchanged for a blue-level spirit crystal, and twenty blue-level spirit crystals can be exchanged for a green-level spirit crystal, but few people above the green level trade, a hundred green spirit crystals can't be exchanged for a golden spirit crystal, and most of the high-level spirit crystals are circulated by bartering for things.

One thousand white-level spirit crystals is already an astronomical amount for a beginner student, and the academy casually gave Li Yi a title for a test, on the one hand, it is to win over geniuses, and on the other hand, it shows a strong foundation, although the academy does not force students to join on the surface, but the benign inducement is very sufficient.

"Good guy, the market price of a young soul with excellent qualifications is only five hundred white spirit crystals, and this gift from the academy is really rich!" Li Yi pursed his lips and actually bit his thumb, he didn't know how to use the money at all.

"Well, let's put it in there first!" He muttered to himself, provoking the cashier to look at him suspiciously.

He was very interested in the affairs of clubs and trade unions, Li Yi understood that if he wanted to make the spirit advanced, he needed good training and a large number of high-level spirit crystals, and the only way to obtain these spirit crystals was to sell labor and work for the clients behind these clubs and trade unions.

Thinking of this, Li Yi was a little nervous, and young people would often be inexplicably excited about the bright prospects they fantasized, as if they had really achieved a certain goal.

Li Yi was once again shocked when he came to the dormitory assigned to him by the college, this single-family villa with a separate courtyard had once become his lifelong goal in the past, with white Gothic spires, cherry trees planted in the yard, and a small strawberry field under the window, with prickly pear trees and gray marmosets planted in between, and a few poppies that had passed the flowering season and produced green round fruits.

"Oh my God, it's really like a dream" He shook his head, although he saw the goal of his life, but there was no imaginary satisfaction, it seemed that there was something else that he really longed for in his heart, the wider his vision, the more he obtained, the more people longed, and the never-ending desire drove people forward.
