Chapter 100: Advent
Time: Thirtieth day after completing the official mission
Location: White Tower Library
Su Qin propped his head and plunged the whole person into the soft sofa, reading and thinking for a long time made him sluggish and his eyes darkened.
The brown bear-like fabric sofa is occupied by tall twelve-story wooden bookshelves, all of which are filled with a variety of books in history, politics, science, and other categories, ranging from philosophy to science, from ideological theory to mathematical formulas.
Although the shelves had been crammed with as many books as possible, the books that could not fit were still piled up on the ground as if they were overflowing, and even a few philosopher's notes were scattered under the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the distance. And the four-legged desk in front of Su Qin was occupied by a large number of books and scratch paper full of scribbled handwriting, and the whole pile was like a sharp hill, which made people worry about whether the four table legs carved in the shape of giant Atlas under the desk would be broken because of this.
These books were collected from various sources during this time, and although the price of goods that can provide direct reinforcement is high, these knowledge books are relatively cheap. The reason why Su Qin spent most of the remaining reward points on this was to find a path for his further development. After all three powers reached a bottleneck, in addition to sparring with Huang Quan's swordsmanship and daily meditation training, he devoted almost all of his time, including sleep time, to reading, studying, and thinking about his own strength.
But to this day, Su Qin still doesn't seem to have found a way forward.
"Hello? Still alive? Huang Quan tiptoed over the piles of books on the floor, and the tray she held in her hand was filled with easily accessible foods such as cut fruit and sandwiches.
"Ah, let's just forget it." After being stunned for a while, Su Qin, who was slow to react because of exhaustion, rubbed his temples and slowly raised his head.
"Even if you study, you can't forget to eat." Glaring at Su Qin reproachfully, she carefully vacated a place on her desk to put down the tray. As for why he was so careful, it was because the last time he moved debris at will, the already precarious structure of Shushan was damaged and quickly formed a collapse, which made the neighborhood even more chaotic.
"But...... I can't figure it out. ”
Inexplicably dipping the sandwich into a teapot full of black tea, Su Qinmu said sneeringly. At this moment, it is estimated that he has no idea what he is eating. Huang Quan guessed that even if he brought Hei Leba, he would be able to bite it one bite at a time.
"Tomorrow is the next mission, you can rest well tonight."
"Ah, is it? Time flies. ”
The sugar ingested made Su Qin's eyes gradually regain some brilliance, rubbing his messy hair, he straightened up, and held a position for a long time, making his body creak. Knowing that the three powers in his body are dangerous, Su Qin is very cautious in the use of his abilities whenever he wants. Despite this, psionic energy and the Force have had some negative effects, both physically and mentally.
These two powers need to be used as a medium by their own spirit and body, so Su Qin has found that his emotions have become more and more indifferent recently. And the long-term swordsmanship training did not make his muscles develop and bulge, but under the influence of psionic energy, they continued to refine into a slender and tough structure like a steel wire. The changes in the structure of his body made him look very thin, like a light shadow.
At the same time, I don't know what kind of side effect it is. His complexion also became pale, and the blue-black veins below could be faintly visible. When he stares at the others in silence, the Brittle-willed will even feel great fear without reason. This made Su Qin have to put on a wide cloak and hood when he went out to hide his abnormality.
Su Qin knew that this was not a good phenomenon, so he was so eager to explore the mystery of his own strength.
However, time was running out, and after saying goodnight to Huang, he forced himself to fall into a deep sleep and regained his energy as much as possible to face the next task. In a daze, there seemed to be a familiar chuckle in my ears.
On the second day, after completing the preparations, the two came to the portal in silence.
"What's wrong, a little nervous?" Feeling that her palms were a little cold, Su Qin asked with concern as she turned sideways slightly.
"I'm fine, you...... It doesn't matter, right? As a companion, Huang Quan certainly knew about the changes that had happened to Su Qin, and out of trust, she didn't ask much, but she was still worried about it in her heart.
"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, there will always be a way, rest assured."
"Yes."
The countdown at the top of the portal is completely reset to zero.
"Let's go, it's time."
"Okay."
Holding each other's hands, the two of them stepped into the portal together.
At the same time, in a distant world, two teams of outsiders of different origins are performing rituals to summon reinforcements.
In the Valley of the Sacred Helm, on the top floor of a tower, a knight in strange armor is dancing in a very twisted pose.
"Are you sure this will work? Aside from launching the scrolls and dancing, there really isn't a need for any other spell or other ritual? The knight continued to swing his hands and feet in embarrassment, and the heavy armor on his body also made a clanging sound, and a puff of steam erupted from the three brass pipes behind him that stood side by side.
“…… It may seem strange, but it's also a skill recognized by the gods. Leos, just keep jumping! The female elf mage on the side pushed her rimless glasses and said calmly.
"Hey, it has to work. It's rare that the powerful existence of this world fights with those evil gods, causing cracks to appear in the outer space barrier, and if you don't grasp this opportunity, it's hard to say next time. The gods must send a strong team of reincarnators, at least the one with a weighted value of one star. The elf clasped her hands together and whispered a prayer.
Finally, the familiar portal appeared in front of them. A man shrouded in a cloak appeared in front of the two of them with a woman in a crimson slim-fitting trench coat.
"Sith?" See the guy with gloves and a hood that doesn't show any skin except for his chin. The heavily armored knight was stunned and said subconsciously, while the whole person froze in place in a very funny posture. The elf mage kicked the knight to remind him of the image, then turned around and coughed.
"Hello, we're the team of labyrinth explorers who initiated the request for assistance."
Hearing her words, the two people on the other side looked at each other and began to talk in a whisper.
"Huh? Do I still need to fill in the team name in the squad contract? ”
"Didn't you watch it at the time?"
"No, what about you?"
"I thought you filled it out."
"Huh?"
Looking at each other wide-eyed, Huang Quan took a step forward and shook hands with the female elf mage.
"Hello, can you explain the current situation? We're a little unclear. ”
"Of course, you might as well come into the house and talk."
The increasingly heavy blizzard made all normal people not choose to stay outside, and the two strange reincarnation teams completed their first meeting in a fairly harmonious atmosphere.
So what is the other team of outsiders doing at the moment? Far away at the foot of a lonely mountain, the once dwarven kingdom has been wiped out in the flames of the evil dragon. Decades ago, Riverdale, which was rebuilt after the dragon's death, is now shrouded in slaughter and flames.
In the center of the town, a large amount of blood was smeared into an evil rune circle. A Thousand Sons Wizard wearing a double-horned helmet and ancient power armor was summoning another group of Chaos invaders, and in the shadows of the ruins not far away, two black shadows, one tall and one short, stood tall.
The flesh and bones of the victims were twisted into the Death Gate under the influence of the Filthy Spell, and the blood-red vortex inside the door slowly swirled, and from it there was a terrifying roar and the sound of the engine spinning. Then, a tall Chaos Daring Do enters the world with three fallen Space Marines armed with chainsaw axes and wearing red power armor.
The howling wind also seemed to foreshadow the coming bloody storm.
