"Leave?"

After Liao Yu thanked his colleagues in the duty room, he lowered his head and got on the elevator that left.

How could Zheng Wei suddenly ask for leave, to be honest, I have known him for so many years, although Zheng Wei looks like a dead house on weekdays, and always clamored to become the world's most famous Gongkou X cartoonist, but when it comes to business, Zheng Wei has never made any mistakes, and he has not taken the initiative to ask for leave in the past few years except for going home.

Liao Yu always felt a little uneasy, he suddenly remembered that Zheng Wei had sneaked into Lu Wenlong's house the day before yesterday, and Lu Wenlong's house was full of suspicions at that time, and Liao Yu also asked Zheng Wei to withdraw quickly. Originally, he planned to go with Zheng Wei again after returning, but he stayed in the pirate world for almost ten days, and the sense of confusion of time in the two worlds made Liao Yu almost forget about it.

Liao Yu hurriedly called a private flying car and went straight to Zheng Wei's home, and called Zheng Wei several times on the way, but no one answered. Seeing this, Liao Yu became more and more anxious, so he had to urge the driver to speed up.

When he arrived at the door of Zheng Wei's house, Liao Yu knocked on the door intermittently for more than ten minutes, but Zheng Wei did not open the door. Just as Liao Yu was sticking to Zheng Wei's door to listen to the movement inside, the door next door suddenly opened, and an impatient old woman poked her head out from behind the door.

"What's going on, it's noon meal time, why is it so noisy."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm his friend, he suddenly lost contact last night, and he didn't go to the company, I was so worried that I rushed over without eating."

Seeing that it was an old man, Liao Yu's tone softened a lot, and he apologized with a smile on his face.

When the old man heard Liao Yu's explanation, his expression softened a lot.

"Well, I saw him go out yesterday, and he looked like he was in a hurry."

Speaking of this, the old man hurriedly walked a few steps forward and asked: "Hey, don't you really have anything to do with this child, although I haven't seen it a few times, but I have met a few times during the New Year's holidays, I feel that others are not bad, and I also helped my daughter repair the computer once." ”

"Maybe there's something urgent, there shouldn't be anything serious, don't worry." The old man's concern made Liao Yu feel a lot warmer, and he comforted the old man for a while, and then left Zheng Wei's house.

Since Zheng Wei went out of the house last night, I don't think anything big will happen, Liao Yu decided not to call the police for the time being, so as not to cause any misunderstanding, and wait for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to see.

When Liao Yu was in the hospital, he excused himself for three days off under the pretext of being uncomfortable, and the hospital leaders knew Liao Yu's physical condition, so they didn't feel too embarrassed and approved it very simply. Liao Yu took advantage of Luo Ying's time at work to seize all the time in the study to study the only magic notebook.

In just two days, Liao Yu has written several documents and mind maps densely, and the number of words has almost caught up with half of this notebook. During this period, Zheng Wei once replied to Liao Yu with a brief message, indicating that he was just a little private and had nothing to do. After Liao Yu saw it, he put his mind at ease and devoted himself to the study of magic.

In the process, Liao Yu finally found the information about the Black Pearl. Looking at the unruly, righteous and evil Captain Jack in the film, it is difficult for Liao Yu to associate this man full of strange charm with the sunny boy he met before. After jotting down the key information of these films, Liao Yu put them aside.

In the afternoon, Liao Yu was sitting alone in the study with his eyes closed and meditating. As his spiritual power became stronger, the characteristics of various magical elements in the spiritual world became more and more obvious. Liao Yu was already able to easily distinguish different magical elements at this time, and selectively screened the more active magical elements into his body.

According to the record of this magister named Karl, the activity of the magic element is directly related to the purity of the magic power, and the more refined the magic power, the easier it is to advance when it comes to advancement. Many junior magicians are stuck on the threshold of advancement because of the problem of impure magic.

Speaking of which, Liao Yu still felt very strange when he first learned magic, why there was no division of magician levels in the magic knowledge given by Hantang. In Carl's notes, he once told here that in the long history of this continent, these mages who have been constantly studying and exploring have not only come into contact with a civilization in another world, but also entered the familiar demon world of the continent, and also encountered rare non-human mages, and the division of strength in each world has never been the same, and it is difficult to have a unified standard to perfectly measure the strength of different systems in each civilization world.

This may be why Hantang simply gives basic knowledge, but does not give the criteria and names for classification. Liao Yu once flipped through the exchange list of Hantang, and the use of magic items on it only gave a specific mana value, similar to the spell that 300 mana can be used to seal the staff once under normal circumstances, which is very consistent with Liao Yu's concept of understanding magic as a pool.

Carl also mentioned here the division of the mage level in his world, according to their understanding, the wizarding world divides mages into 25 levels, and grades 1 to 5 are counted as junior mages, and many people refer to mages with level 1 and 2 magic power as magic apprentices.

"It's ridiculous, with their little magic power, they are just magic apprentices who know a little rough magic knowledge, only when a magic apprentice breaks through level 6 and masters the first group magic that consumes a lot of money, can he be called a second-level magician."

"And when the magic power breaks through level 12, you can be called a first-level magician, that is, a great magician in the eyes of the world. For most people, I'm afraid that their whole life will stay at this level. ”

"And I, Karl the Supplicant! I had already touched the threshold of level 16 magister before I was 30 years old, but it still took me a full ten years to cross this threshold and be able to truly explore the unknown plane with my own power. ”

Seeing this, Liao Yu couldn't help but have a hopeless thought. Judging from the reading in the past few days, Carl is already a celestial figure, and he is still stuck at this threshold. And after suffering a heavy blow to his magic power, he barely recovered to the level of a second-level magician through Hantang's treatment, and he didn't know when he would be able to reach the realm of a magician.

"I don't know if I have a chance to reach the achievement of level 24 archmage in my life, and as for level 25, I don't know if the founder of this level division has ever seen this realm. According to legend, only a handful of people, including Naozu, have ever set foot in this realm that belongs to the gods. Anyone who reaches this level is qualified to be called a demigod. ”

Liao Yu had inquired about the exchange list of the Flame Seal for the advancement of magicians, but was told that Liao Yu could not continue to improve his power in a similar way of direct indoctrination as before, and that Liao Yu himself had to improve his magic power step by step through meditation, and Hantang only provided some items similar to magic potions to help Liao Yu speed up the process.

Closing the note, Liao Yu's mood couldn't calm down for a long time. It was as if he had glimpsed the magnificent history of a plane for thousands of years through this magic notebook. This is a history that is not inferior to that of humanity itself, and it is an epic of another plane stepping out of its own world step by step on the path of magic.

"I'm back, do you want to go out to dinner?"

Luo Ying's voice pulled Liao Yu back to reality, and he calmly took the notes back to the Yanyin space, and at the same time hid everything on the computer, switching the page to the fighting practice video and the rest of the barrage entertainment videos, and then put the computer on standby and prepared to go out to eat with Luo Ying.

"Let's go, I'm packed."

Just as Liao Yu was changing his shoes and preparing to go out, Luo Ying suddenly grabbed Liao Yu's arm.

"Have you been hiding something from me lately?"

"No, if you are together every day, there is something to hide from you."

Liao Yu looked at Luo Ying blankly, Luo Ying seemed to be a little unsure, and said hesitantly: "It's nothing, I just always feel that you have been weird in the past few days since you came back from a business trip, and you feel that you have something on your mind." ”

At the end, Luo Ying hurriedly added: "If you have something to tell me, if you hear it, don't hide it in your heart." ”

After that, Luo Ying let go of her hand, but her eyes were still fixed on Liao Yu's eyes.

Liao Yu chuckled in his heart, but he didn't dare to look away, and responded pretending to be nothing: "Don't worry, after so many years together, how can I hide anything from you." Let's go, eat. ”

At the same time as Liao Yu went out, in another mansion in this world, a woman with long pale blonde hair had just walked out of the conference room and returned to her office, her slender white fingers clicked familiarly on the wall, and soon the room was cut off from prying eyes.

Then she walked briskly to the desk and sat down, slewd on her computer, and jotted down a piece of information in the file.

“…… Gender male, delicate facial features, small skeleton, extremely calm, delicate, biased to plan in advance, most likely Chinese, do not rule out the possibility of growing up in nearby East Asian countries and settling in China......"

At night, Liao Yu lay on the bed and hugged Luo Ying tightly from behind, in the past few days after returning from the cold pond, Liao Yu was very attached to every minute of getting along with Luo Ying, and the happiness after life and death made him cherish it extraordinarily.

However, just when he thought that he would spend the night in peace again, there was a sudden throbbing in his chest. Soon, he received a mission message from the Yan Yin.

"Explorer A12333, please enter the cold pond space within ten minutes, the next mission is about to begin."

"Mission location: A prehistoric earth infested with monsters and alien life."

"Mission background: After World War II, with the explosive breakthrough of science and technology, the footsteps of human beings began to penetrate into all corners of the earth. However, just when humans felt that they were the masters of the Earth, they were soon dealt a blow by the creatures that had inhabited it millions of years ago. After a devastating blow that destroyed the cities that human civilization was proud of, humanity finally learned to let go of its arrogance and seriously regard these so-called animals as real adversaries in the face of these massive monsters. And the war has just begun. ”

Liao Yu looked at the news from Yanyin and silently sighed deeply in his heart. He buried his face in Luo Ying's long hair and sniffed Luo Ying's smell gently, for fear of disturbing his girlfriend, who had always slept lightly.

After silently counting for nine and a half minutes, Liao Yu got up lightly, glanced at Luo Ying's back nostalgically, and then walked into the study alone, never looking back.
