004 Delivery, Repression, Fireworks
"Okay, I've passed the test, right? Can you tell me the truth of the matter?" Li Xiang returned to the recliner, feeling extremely depressed, how could he say that he had shown a lot of talent and strength all the way, why was he always questioned?
"This ......," Leia looked at Sophia in embarrassment, "Do you want to wait for Lord Night Shadow to come and explain to him personally?"
"No, the float continues to fly to the Rose Garden, and I'll explain to him that you go and contact your lordship. Sophia shook her head.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Leia breathed a sigh of relief, she was good at fighting, and she was indeed inferior to Sophia in terms of communication, especially in the face of Li Xiang, an extremely smart little monster.
Leia left the hall, leaving only the silver-haired Sophia and Li Xiang.
"Push me to the edge of the pool. Sophia waved at him, her unique way of making overtures, and few people could get her permission to push her wheelchair.
Li wanted to get up and obediently pushed her to the pool, the turquoise water was clear and transparent, even if there were many beautiful girls playing in it just now, the pool water was still not turbid, reflecting the faces of the two, one after the other.
Sophia raised her hand and whispered a few words, and the water in the pool slowly rose and condensed into a curtain of water in mid-air.
"It's pretty much the same as you hear. The proliferation of abyssal gates has seriously affected the Lighthouse Academy, and although the conditions for opening an abyss gate are very harsh, as long as one of them opens, it will be a devastating blow to your school. Sophia manipulated the water curtain, combining the picture with his explanation.
Li Xiang nodded in agreement.
Only the Monarch Calamity has the ability to master the Abyss Gate, and even if it is opened, the Scourge beneath it is enough to kill students who are not yet players.
No one wants to put their children in a place of extreme danger.
"Doesn't it mean that after the Academy Cup, as long as you keep your place at the Clock Tower Alliance University, you can apply for a campus transfer?" asked Li Xiang.
Sophia nodded, then shook her head again.
"Transferring campuses is indeed the best option, but without the First Lighthouse, Lighthouse College would exist in name only. Besides, it's not that simple. Sophia continued to manipulate the water curtain, and on it appeared terrifying portals of the abyss, in strange shapes, representing all kinds of monarchical calamities that had existed since ancient times.
Then she zoomed her field of view sharply, looking down on all the Abyssal Portals from a high vantage point.
These seemingly irregular abyss gates are faintly arranged into a magic array!
"This ...... It's like a magic array I've seen. Li Xiang was stunned, the magic array was strange, none of them were similar, but this familiar feeling was clearly extremely close to the magic array that Wessex used to extract essentia.
It's a homologous magic array.
And that magic circle came from Lancelot's mechanical heart.
"Yes, according to my calculations, this is a perfect giant teleportation magic array, which can be said to be a product of ancient times, probably older than our human history. Magical particles and essentia originated in the world, and it took countless years for humans to perceive them and use them, but research shows that magic and the like have been around for a longer period of time. β
"In other words, the goddess of calamity came and gave us the possibility to become players, allowing us to use magic particles and essentia, and only taught us some of the laws that already exist in this world. Later, our research, development, and in the final analysis, we are constantly expanding and discovering these laws and using them. On top of that, we simplified the magic, and so there was magic. β
"I see. Li wanted to know that the origin of the world was essentia particles, but he didn't expect that the player's existence was an objective fact, not the result of human evolution, "Is this the repeated reincarnation of the human era? Before our civilization, there may have been some other human civilizations, but they were destroyed by calamity, but we continue to inherit the fire of the former and continue to this day." β
"Your comprehension is passable. Sophia nodded, "That's pretty much it." Therefore, the origin of this ancient magic array is very long and cannot be verified, but the effect is certain. β
"Teleportation, where can I go?" Li Xiang asked curiously, and he actually had to use the Abyss Gate as a carrier!
"It's not where to go, it's something to be delivered. Sophia pondered for a moment, "Don't open your mouth so wide, it's not beautiful to look at from the reflection on the water." β
"What's it! just to teleport something?"
Li Xiang couldn't imagine that such a big deal was actually for the purpose of teleporting things, and the existence of secretly building this magic array was too terrifying.
"I guess, it's the starry turbulence. Sophia hesitated, using the word guess for the first time.
She rarely guesses, and data analysis is the most accurate.
But this time, Li wanted to make her re-examine some things that she had overlooked.
"Teleport the starry sky turbulence!?"
"That's right, the Starry Sky Turbulence is a spectacle and anomaly, a super natural disaster, usually born in the void, and must pass through a spatial rift to reach it. But this man is clearly planning to forcibly transfer next year's starry turbulence to the Dead Sea, next to your school. β
Sophia looked at him and said indifferently, "Do you understand now? There is a high probability that someone is targeting the Polar Night Mage." If the starry sky turbulence is teleported, it means that there will be a large number of void creatures invading, and the variables are so great that my private laboratory can't guess, I can only say that the border will be in trouble from the beginning, so someone must stop it. β
"That's just the Polar Night Mage. Li Xiang nodded, and everything slowly came together.
"Judging from the current conditions, whether it will succeed or not is two words, but if it fails, Polar Night, Lighthouse Academy, and everything related to it will be unlucky. You're the first to bear the brunt of it, and the two biggest pillars have collapsed, do you want to be left alone?"
Sophia glanced at him and nodded with satisfaction, Li Xiang's comprehension was really good.
She likes to talk to smart people.
"I see, instead of betting on the unknown possibilities, it is better to choose to give up now, at least to survive. Li Xiang frowned, probably thinking that once the two pillars collapsed, Li Xiang would be miserable, and Bai Micha would do whatever it took to persuade him.
Go back to the Bai family, marry the Yue family, or hide in a place where no one knows.
"It's good if you can understand, in my lab calculations, choose these, and your chances of survival will increase by 50%, otherwise, you will be dead. Sophia still can't understand why the calculus is wrong.
Heatheria swore to herself that if Li Xiang refused this tempting offer, Sophia would have to bring the opposition maids to submit their allegiance to the young master.
She agreed without hesitation.
In her eyes, Heatheria's decision based on emotions and self-feelings was too naΓ―ve and ridiculous, but she lost herself.
Is this teenager really different?
"Otherwise, there is only one way, to survive in the cracks, to become a player, and to counterattack all enemies. Li Xiang laughed, "It's too exaggerated to die and be alive, there are few absolute things in this world." β
"I believe in calculus. β
"But something went wrong, didn't it?"
"......" Sophia did not answer.
Her snow-white and bright eyes looked at Li Xiang, and suddenly said faintly, "Sophia Beta, a member of the Rose Maid Regiment, swear allegiance to you, Young Master. β
"My pleasure. Lee wanted to return the favor.
He let out a sigh of relief, and although he was suspected of cheating, he finally persuaded the biggest opposition.
There is no doubt about the strength of the Rose Maids.
"In the next few days, I will be responsible for introducing the young master to all matters related to the Rose Garden and the Rose Maid Regiment, and according to the orders of Lord Night Shadow, you will officially take over the Rose Maid Regiment. β
Li Xiang stumbled, why did he suddenly take over?!
"Don't be too surprised, Lord Night Shadow has broken through to level 7, and for a long time to come, she may have to go to the Great Wall of Calamity to assist Lord Night, and all the industries and forces under her name, as well as her team of players, that is, our Rose Maid Regiment, will be handed over to you in the near future, if you refuse my proposal. β
Sophia said indifferently.
"...... like this" Li Xiang was suddenly a little moved, the Shadow of the Night knew that he would urgently need a large number of powerful forces in the future, as long as he didn't choose to escape, then she would do her best to help him tide over the difficulties.
"Then I'm sorry for you. β
An hour later, the float arrived at the Rose Garden, an island in a hidden place, the base of the Rose Maids.
It was only with Sophia's personal explanation that he learned that the Rose Maids had a bad reputation among the player community, and that most of them would have to go to the Players' Tribunal countless times if it weren't for the protection of Polar Night.
These women were beautiful vipers, murderous, bloody and brutal, but a contract gathered them together, and the shadow of the night convinced them to serve her until death.
About the shadow of the night and them is another story, Sophia didn't say, but Li Xiang can feel the magnificent epic sense from the few words.
At the same time, what was delivered to Li Xiang was the students of the Shadow of the Night, as well as the reserve group of the Rose Maid Regiment, and the leader of the group was his familiar senior sister Origa.
The Shadow of the Night has been operating for many years in an industry spread across the seven continents, and its forces are intertwined and complex, and many families are even her vassals.
It was hard to imagine that she would be able to create such a terrifying underground kingdom in addition to her cultivation.
"It was about nineteen years ago that adults started doing this, and I was fortunate enough to use my calculus skills for most of the projects. And this huge hidden project was named 'Ideal' by her, and it is only today that I understand the meaning of this name. β
Sophia was in a wheelchair and introduced him to everything.
Li Xiang was a little stunned, as if he had suddenly inherited hundreds of millions of family properties.
"My lord said that in the future, if there is a crisis in your forces, you can arrange to move here at any time. Under my more than ten years of building, even level 9 players can't find it, and it can't be attacked, so it's very safe. β
"Could it be that the retirement place you proposed is also here?"
"It's a very small place, you are in the Garden of Roses, but you won't know the whole picture, and we will do everything in our power to take care of you, so that you can live happily for the rest of your life without knowing it. Sophia raised her head proudly and looked at this place, as if she was looking at a child who had grown up in one hand, "Everything we are in is for you, in a different way." β
"Although there are many people in the maid who hate you, since the Lord has ordered it, we will do it, and we will never resist. But for now, I'm sure they're all willing to try to follow you once. β
"Thank you. β
The three-day relaxing vacation life soon came to an end, and Li Xiang had met every member of the maid group, they had very different personalities, some were easy to get along with, some were not easy to get along with, but he firmly believed that as long as he was given enough time, one day, they would understand that the heir chosen by the Shadow of the Night would not be worse than her!
Most of the people here still have a sense of rejection that they are not used to the new owner, and they can only rely on him to prove himself step by step to gain their favor.
Li Xiang has this self-confidence.
Three days later, Leia personally drove him back to the Lighthouse Academy in a floating boat, where Ying waited for a long time, and the atmosphere in the school was a little strange.
Li Xiang first met Dean Lei Lin, he was very pleased to see the rise of a new mechanical master in just one year, and after arranging new schoolwork and tasks, Lei Lin revealed that the Chessboard Academy was researching some new machinery, so he pushed him out.
After that, he went to meet Shizuko and the Enchantress who happened to come back from training, and Saga, who had been running around, also rushed back, and with the honey pear, the Night Legend Society finally got together.
The strength of the peak of the level 3 magician hit the two girls hard again.
Ise Shizuko and the Enchantress had just stabilized at the peak of Level 1, and seeing Li Xiang go farther and farther, they felt extremely frustrated, but they were not discouraged, but rekindled the flame of chasing.
The atmosphere of the dinner has always been very good, and Sajia, who cooperated with Li Xiang and the Snake Machinery Department, has made a lot of money, and has also been recognized by the family.
It was only when the issue of the Abyss Gate was talked about that the atmosphere of several people slowly changed.
"Don't worry too much, if you really get to that point, Saga can go back to the family, Shizuko can go back to the Dongling family, and I have a way to settle the Enchantress and Miri. Li Xiang smiled.
"Isn't that why I and Shizuko can be settled together?" Saga poured him a glass of wine, feigning anger.
"If you wish, welcome to Crimson Moon. Li Xiang said jokingly.
A few more people fought for a while before they dispersed.
Li Xiang did not go back, but went to the last stop, Vice Principal Jeffrey's office.
Although Saga kept telling jokes to liven up the atmosphere in the second half of the meal, the feeling of depression always lingered.
When he arrived at the vice-principal's office, Jeffrey was still working at his desk, not at all like a level 7 player, but like an elderly man.
"Sit down and wait for me to take care of these papers. Jeffrey didn't look up.
After about three hours, he finished the work on the table, began to teach, and arranged Li Xiang's next homework and tasks.
There was no talk of the House Cup or the starry sky turbulence, as if nothing had happened.
Brilliant fireworks rang out the window, and Jeffrey suddenly looked up.
"I forgot, the new students will be enrolled in a few days, come to give you the form, you are responsible for the reception of new students this time, and show these newcomers the 'rules' of our school. Jeffrey chuckled, "Good job, maybe they're the last freshmen at Lighthouse Academy." β
"Teacher......" Li Xiang's heart twitched slightly, took the form, and wanted to say something, but all the words were blocked by the first name on the form.
The Bai family, the white heart pupil.
