Chapter 57: Darkness and Darkness
Tanaka smiled: "The opponent is hard to find, I hope you don't let me down." After speaking, the spear in his hand trembled, and the eighteen blue lines shot at the eighteen vital points of my body. I shouted, "Good marksmanship." "The ink in my hand conjured up a sword curtain in front of me, and the sound of tinkling continued, while resisting his attack, my right foot stomped on the ground, * penetrated the ground, and hit Tanaka's feet, Tanaka felt the energy fluctuations under his feet, without any hesitation, his body jumped up, and floated obliquely to the side. I snorted coldly, and the ink in my hand swept across the field in the air with a yellow light. Tanaka's spear shook out nine spear flowers one after another, each with nine spears, a total of eighty-one spears stabbed at the sword I sent out one after another, and the dark blue fighting spirit continued to swallow at the tip of his spear, making a popping sound, and his body moved sideways with the help of force, avoiding my pursuit.
I remembered the attack of gold and silver, silently recited the incantation, and a large chain of fireballs pressed towards him, and the field in the air was not chaotic at all, and the spear rose into the air again, and the tip of the spear brought a gust of cold wind, dissolving the attacking fireballs one by one. I shouted, "Dragon Dance." Driven by Mo Ming, the body rose into the sky like an angry dragon with teeth and claws, and rushed straight to the field. A hint of surprise flashed in Tanaka's eyes, and the body of the man and gun formed a cone and rushed towards me, and I already felt that I was a little weak in the air, and I knew that I had to deal with him in a short time. Using the same trick that he had used to deal with the silver arrow, the body that rushed forward suddenly sank, dodging the front of Tanaka, Tanaka's reaction was also quite fast, and when he saw me dodging the front, he quickly rolled over and dodged my attack from below. I didn't give him a respite, and shouted, "Shadows." Countless figures appeared, and Tanaka was the center.
Tanaka secretly screamed badly, and the impenetrable spear dance resisted my attacks again and again. But the impact in all directions was too strong, his spear was slashed by me hundreds of times in a row, although the texture was extraordinary, but it couldn't be supported, a few clicks, turned into a cloud of debris, Tanaka's body was also hit by my strong fighting spirit flew out, hit the defensive barrier and then rebounded to the ground, he knelt on one knee, wow, spit out a mouthful of blood, I looked at him with a slight gasp, and said coldly: "How about it, you are ready to pay eighty million." ”
Tanaka shook his feet and said with a wry smile: "You are really strong, better than the original Rivayu, Riva was defeated by my gun after three consecutive battles, and you can seriously injure me, if it weren't for the 80 million relationship, I really don't want to continue, but now I have to win." ”
I was surprised and said, "What? Can you continue?"
Tanaka nodded, clasped his hands in his heart, and chanted, "Great God of Darkness, as your servant, I beg you to give me great power as a sacrifice with my soul, the Enhancement of Darkness and Eternal Life." His chanting startled me, this is dark magic, Tanaka's dark magic was used, and it immediately caused confusion in the audience, and no one thought that there would be dark magic that had not appeared for a long time in the exchange competition of the four major colleges.
Layers of black smoke rose from Tanaka's body, and his tired appearance just now was swept away, and in his energetic and proud position, he smiled and said to me: "My current combat strength has fully recovered and can support a meal, do you want to continue?"
I sneered, "Isn't it dark magic? "It's really Guan Gong (a generation of martial saints who are good at making knives in ancient times) playing a big knife in front of him, I thought he had some special skills, it turned out to be dark magic, since he used it, I don't have to hide anything, the dark magic is running rapidly in the body, and the thick black fog comes out of the body, I straighten my waist like a demon god, and the rich dark aura makes the atmosphere of the competition table extremely dignified.
Tanaka looked at me in amazement, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "You, you can also have dark magic, and you are so powerful. I gave up the opportunity to become a dragon knight to cultivate the dark magic, and now I can only use fourth-level spells, looking at your appearance, you must be at least two levels higher than me, how is this possible?"
I said coldly, "Do you want to try, it's far worse than dark magic." "Although I haven't transformed, I can use up to level 7 dark magic, but it will be easier and more powerful to use after transformation. Under my strong oppression, Tanaka had a look of despair in his eyes.
Tanaka recited a few incantations, his body sat down on the ground, the dark energy condensed just now completely dissipated, I knew that he had given up resistance, and sure enough, Tanaka said helplessly: "I can't beat you, I admit defeat." I'll give you all the eighty million. Tiandu actually produced a guy like you, and you are still a second-year student, it seems that the heads of the four major academies of the Nether Realm will still stay in Tiandu. ”
I dispersed the black mist, and my body felt weak for a while, and I supported the weight of my body with ink, waiting.
The surrounding defensive barrier dispersed, and the director of the Foreign Affairs Department walked up, he looked at the two of us in surprise, and announced: "In the last game, Tiandu Academy Lei Xiangsheng, the exchange competition of the four major academies is over, and Tiandu Academy will continue to retain the title of the first academy of the Dragon God Empire." ”
The vice dean walked up to the stage with a smile, first greeted the senior leaders of the other colleges, and then walked up to me and whispered: "Good boy, even if you are guilty of your merits this time, I will not punish you, I didn't expect your dark magic to practice to this point." ”
Tanaka stood up with the help of his fellow comrades from his academy and said to me, "You can come to the City Lord's Mansion tonight to get it, and I'll make up the money for you now." Ah, my savings. ”
Looking at his helpless appearance, I was happy. The vice dean pulled me and said with a smile: "This time I used the academy to win so much money, should I contribute something?" "This old guy, do you want to blackmail me for money, but it doesn't matter, he has always been good to me before, I am a person who knows how to repay kindness, I nodded and said: "This is easy to say, but if you want to say more good things for me in front of Zixue, I will take out 10 million gold coins and donate them to the academy." ”
The vice president was overjoyed and said, "No problem, I really deserve to be the best student in our college, haha." Let's go, come back with me. My heart tightened, and I followed the vice president to the rest seat, Zixue looked at me with red eyes, and threw herself into my arms, ignoring the strange eyes of others, and cried loudly. I hugged her willow waist, smelled the fragrance in her hair, my heart was full of a feeling of fulfillment, and whispered, "Zixue, I miss you so much." ”
Zixue pushed me away violently, and Pear Blossom said angrily with rain: "Miss me, miss me, you have been back for so long." Don't tell me anything, you ......" I was afraid that she would shake out my secret, so I hurriedly covered her little mouth and coaxed: "Good Xue'er, let's go back and talk about it, okay?"
The anger on Zixue's face gradually disappeared, and she threw herself into my arms again, Zi Yan walked over, I know, she also wants to get my hug, compared to Zixue, she misses me no less, but our relationship has not been made public, and there are so many people around, she can only watch me silently.
I gently pushed Zixue away and said softly, "Let's go." ”
Zi Xue nodded obediently, took her sister's hand, and whispered something to Zi Yan.
I followed everyone to the fine house arranged by Xi Lun, and Teacher Zhuang hit me and said, "What have you been doing for so long, if it weren't for me and the vice dean to say good things for you, you would have been removed from the academy a long time ago." You know what?"
I blushed and said, "Thank you, Teacher Zhuang, that's the case, I ...... at the beginning" I repeated what I said to the duke, except for Zi Xue and Zi Yan, everyone else was convinced.
When there was a knock on the door, Zi Xue ran over to open the door and saw that it was a young student from Xilun Academy, and he said respectfully: "Hello teachers and seniors, our dean invites you to have lunch in the VIP hall of the college. ”
The vice president said, "I know, let's go over." ”
......
Except for Feng Wen, who was still in a coma, everyone else attended the luncheon, originally I didn't want to come, but the vice president said that I performed so well in the competition, and I defeated the four masters of Feng Yu alone, and it would be rude to not go, no way, in order to let him help me say more good things in front of Zixue, I had to go.
The VIP cafeteria of Xilun Academy is very luxurious, there is a red carpet on the ground, and there are more than a dozen large round tables in the whole room but it does not feel crowded at all, as soon as we enter the cafeteria, the Dean of the Sword Saint immediately greeted him, he looked at me deeply, and said to the vice dean: "Hehe, you old guy, you are proud again." I didn't expect to come up with a secret weapon, at first I thought that our academy had lost, but after watching this young man's performance, I had nothing to say, you old boy can really hide. ”
The vice dean smiled and said, "That's right, Lei Xiang is the key training object of our academy, how about it?" ”
Dean Xilun smiled: "What's the use of envy, can you give him to me?" ”
We students sat at a table, and the vice dean, Mr. Zhuang, and teachers from several other colleges sat at a table. Lunch was sumptuous, and you can see delicacies from all over Ryujin.
Feng Duo from Songweaving Academy walked up to me and said with a smile: "Brother Lei, you are so beautiful today, you have avenged our academy, but I didn't expect you to be a student of Tiandu Academy." ”
I smiled slightly, stood up, and said politely: "I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you because I wanted to keep it secret." ”
Feng Duo said in a nonchalant whisper: "It's okay, you can defeat the invincible Fengtong every day, and it's too late for me to be happy." Come and sit down at our table later. ”
I nodded in agreement.
Zi Xue, who was sitting next to me, asked in a pretty voice, "How do you know the people from the Pine Weaving Academy?"
I smiled slightly, put my little ear to her cute little ear and said, "I met them on the way here, and they were good to me." The hot Zixue in my mouth blushed, dodged to the side, and said softly: "I hate it, why are you so close to others?"
I smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you so much." ”
Zixue pouted and said, "Don't coax me, if you really love me, why don't you tell me those secret things." As soon as she remembered that I had lied to her, Zixue's beautiful big eyes suddenly turned red.
Zi Yan on the other side saw that Zi Xue was unhappy, and pinched my thigh fiercely, grinning in pain, but I didn't dare to scream.
Seeing my expression, Zi Xue looked at Zi Yan again, sneered, and said, "You deserve it." ”
I showed a wronged expression and whispered: "I really can't say what happened at the beginning, the dishes are ready, let's eat it." It's all my fault, which makes you think I've lost a lot of weight. ”
Zixue said angrily: "Who misses you, less smelly and beautiful." Although she said this, she raised her chopsticks and reached for the nearby dish.
Because of my excellent performance in the competition, many students from other houses came to toast, including my opponents, and I had a mediocre amount of alcohol, but only a light taste.
A quiet voice rang in my ears, "Can you tell me how you broke through my Ice Spirit seal?" ”
I turned my head to see that it was Yun Miao, the natural user of the water element, I nodded at her, and replied: "Actually, that seal of yours is very clever, you should have also seen the final competition between me and Tanaka, my dark magic has been cultivated to the realm where I can release seventh-level magic, and your sealing magic is sixth-level, although you are a natural elemental user, but you naturally can't succeed by one level, if it weren't for my recent breakthrough, the person who lost today must be me." ”
Yun Miao nodded and said, "I will definitely defeat you in the next academy exchange competition." ”
I was surprised and said, "So, you're a student below the third grade." ”
Yun Miao replied, "I'm from the second-year magic class of Fengtong Academy. With that, he turned and left.
Zi Yan said: "She is really competitive, Lei Xiang, you have to work hard, otherwise, you may really be defeated by her next time." ”
I smiled and shook my head, "No, because I won't be competing in the next tournament at all." ”
Zi Yan frowned and said, "Why? Do you want to leave when you come back this time?"
I sighed and carefully released a soundproof barrier so that only Zi Yan and Zi Xue could hear what I said, "Do you remember the three-year appointment I told you at the beginning? I came back early this time, not because the matter was done, but because I had something important to tell you." After telling you, I still have to do something, I won't go back to Tiandu, this time, even if I finally contribute to Tiandu. ”
Zixue asked in surprise, "Do you still want to go?" No, I won't let you go." ”
My face sank, and I said, "I have to go, my mother is still there, my mother is human, I must take her back to my homeland, and what I want to tell you is very important, if you can't forgive me, I'm afraid ......"
Zi Yan sensed the seriousness of the situation and asked, "What needs our forgiveness?"
I glanced at each of the sisters and said, "Let's talk about it when I go back after eating, I don't want to spoil the atmosphere here, I can only tell you that I have done a wrong thing, something that I will regret for the rest of my life." I closed my eyes in pain, and my heart ached.
After listening to my words, Zi Yan and Zi Xue glanced at each other, and were silent and stopped talking, and from my tone, they understood that what I was about to say must be very important.
The delicious meal made everyone very happy in a harmonious atmosphere, and the vice president was even more red-faced. Towards the end of the day, I went to the table at the Songori Academy, and except for Lianlu, who was still cold to me, everyone else admired me very much, and Tianxing even exchanged some questions with me about the use of Dou Qi.
After lunch, the people of the four colleges went back to their places of residence, and although the exchange competition was over, the other three colleges would stay here for a few days for the purpose of exchange.
Back at the house, the rest of the people went back to rest, while Zi Yan and Zi Xue followed me back to the room that Xi Lun had arranged for me, both of them were silent, I knew that they were waiting for me to tell them the truth.
It seems that the time has come to speak. I took a deep breath, sorted out my thoughts, and let the Zi sisters into the room, the two of them sat on the sofa and the bed respectively, looking at me fixedly, I felt as if my heart was pressed by a boulder, and I was a little out of breath.
Zi Yan said: "Now it's just the three of us, you can say it." ”
"I ......"
Seeing that I wanted to speak and stopped, Zi Yan encouraged: "Say it, no matter what it is, you must always say it." ”
I nodded heavily, plucked up my courage, and said, "Since I was separated from you at Fortress Strut last time......"
When Dangdang, the knock on the door came, I obviously felt that I was relieved, Zi Yan and Zi Xue's tense nerves were also relaxed, I walked over to open the door, it was a middle-aged man I didn't know, from his appearance, it could be seen that this person should be the servant of a nobleman.
I asked, "Is there something wrong?"
The other party said politely: "Hello, are you Mr. Lei Xiang?"
I nodded, "I am." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "That's the case, I'm a servant of the city lord's family, and our second young master asked me to come to you, please go and get some things." ”
Ah, it's gambling money. Didn't you mean evening? It's still afternoon. No matter what, drag it out for a moment.
"I see, you wait, I'll be out right away. I turned back to my room and said to them, "I'll go out and get all the money I've won, and I'll come back and I'll talk to you again, okay?"
Zi Yan glanced at me and said, "Let's go too." ”
I whispered, "No need, I'll just go alone and I'll be back in a while." ”
Zixue said: "No, we must go with you, otherwise, what if you run away again." I don't have to wait silly for you to come back anymore. ”
Seeing her crying, how could I refuse, so I had to nod and agree.
The three of us went to the City Lord's Mansion under the leadership of the middle-aged servant, and walked into the hall, unexpectedly, the decoration here was actually very simple, the ground was paved with cheap green bricks, and all the furnishings were mainly practical.
Tanaka greeted him, looking very tired, as if he had not recovered from the exertion of the morning. He looked at Sister Zixue and said, "Welcome, I didn't expect you to bring two beauties over, it really makes the walls of the shed shine, please take a seat." ”
I said coldly: "You're welcome, I'll leave as soon as I get my things, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with." ”
Tanaka smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then okay, please." He turned and walked inside.
He led us to the back room and whispered in a somewhat embarrassed voice: "That's right, although my brother is the lord of a city, he doesn't have so many gold coins, you see......"
"You don't need to say more, I think, this victory in Tiandu has also made your peripheral gambling stalls earn a lot, don't cry poor with me. Who made you greedy and took my bet? ”
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Tanaka sighed: "Okay, although we did make a lot of money this time, but it's really not enough to compensate you, so let's do it, I have more than 30 million cash here, and the rest, you can go to our family's treasure house and pick a few treasures to replace it, okay?"
If you pick a few good things to please Zixue and them, maybe, tonight's matter, they will accept it more easily, thinking of this, I said, "Yes." ”
Tanaka said: "In that case, this one will be given to you first." As he spoke, he took out four cards and a note from his bosom, one of the four cards was green, and the rest were blue.
"What is this?" I asked.
Tanaka looked at me with some surprise, and said: "This is the most popular savings card in the mainland, the blue one is the highest level, the upper limit is 10 million gold coins, and the upper limit of the green one is 5 million, the four cards here are all full savings, this kind of card is made by magicians at the level of the Magister, and they all have their special ways to use them, there is a method to open them on this piece of paper, take them, as long as they are in the realm of the dragon god, no matter where, you can withdraw gold coins, there is an ATM in the house, I will take you to confirm the amount later." ”
I took the magic card and the note, and said, "No, I trusted you." ”
A strange glint flashed in Tanaka's eyes, and said: "Then you come with me to the collection library, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that I owe you too much money, I really don't want to show those treasures, for this incident, I was also scolded by my brother, but for the reputation of our Tian family, it can only be like this." With that, he turned and walked into the inner room.
Inside is an ordinary study, surrounded by several large bookcases, there are a few ordinary calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, Tanaka draws a book on the upper floor of the leftmost bookcase, and suddenly, three calligraphy and paintings on the wall are automatically rolled up. The stone wall behind it is exposed, and there are three irregular grooves behind each of the three calligraphy paintings. Tanaka took out three metal blocks from his bosom and embedded them in different grooves, and there was a rattling sound, but nothing changed in the study.
Tanaka pushed the half-drawn book inside, and the calligraphy and painting fell as if nothing had happened.
"Follow me. He turned and walked out of the study again. We followed him, out of the hall, and went around the side to the courtyard behind, Tanaka walked very fast, and led us into the garden of the city lord's mansion, in the center of which was a water altar, and when we reached the water altar, he stopped. Reaching out and groping in the bushes next to him, his whole body exerting force, as if he was dragging something. A slight vibration sounded, and bubbles suddenly bubbled up in the center of the water altar. Gradually, a stone altar of about ten square meters rose. In the center of the altar there is a black tunnel that leads underground.
Zi Yan exclaimed, "What a clever mechanism." ”
Tanaka glanced at her with some fascination, and said: "This is a collection of treasures accumulated by our ancestors for dozens of generations, of course it is very secret, if I didn't open the mechanism over there just now, this place will not rise, it is impossible for outsiders to get our three keys, even if they do, they will not easily find this place, find the entrance, I hope you can forget about this place after you choose, and don't tell anyone about it, okay?"
I nodded, "I will." ”
Tanaka smiled: "I believe in the character of Brother Lei and the two duchess ladies. ”
Zixue said in surprise, "Do you know our identity?"
Tanaka said: "My brother has the title of hereditary earl, and he is the lord of the city here, so he will always know more things than ordinary people, let's go down." With that, he floated over lightly.
I grabbed Zi Yan and Zi Xue's willow waists with both hands and followed.
Tanaka recited a few incantations, a small flame appeared in his hand, and he turned his head and said, "You follow in my footsteps, don't make a mistake, there are traps everywhere inside." After saying that, he took the lead and went down.
I said to Zi Yan and Zi Xue, "Be careful. Seeing Tanaka's footsteps, he followed.
Zi Yan released a light system illumination technique, which immediately illuminated the tunnel a lot, and followed Zi Xue down the tunnel with her.
When we all got down the tunnel, I don't know where Tanaka pressed it, and the mouth of the tunnel closed, and the whole tunnel shook, and I knew that the entrance had sunk back into the water altar.
The tunnel was winding and winding, and the tunnel was lined with jagged stones, and Tanaka walked slowly and carefully, and we all cautiously followed behind thanks to his reminders. After walking for a meal, the front suddenly opened up, and the small tunnel gradually widened, Tanaka turned around and said with relief: "Okay, you guys relax, there is no mechanism in front." With that, he quickened his pace and walked forward.
After turning two corners, a huge iron gate appeared in front of us.
Tanaka said: "There are hard granite for several miles around here, in order to dig this collection room, my ancestors do not know how much effort it took to dig this collection room, this iron gate is made of white iron from the deep sea, as thick as a zhang, if you can't open it, even a few dragoons will not be able to open it." ”
I said with some disbelief: "The combined strength of several dragoons is enough to destroy the world, how can you not open this iron gate?"
Tanaka said: "Maybe their strength can indeed shake the iron gate, but at the same time, it will also shake the mechanism, we have thousands of catties of zha medicine under our feet, and tens of thousands of tons of boulders on it, if this place collapses, I'm afraid the gods won't be able to live." ”
Zixue shrank back in some fear, and said, "As for making it so terrifying?"
Tanaka said proudly: "Of course, the treasures accumulated by our ancestors are not something you can imagine, and I am afraid that they are not much better than the Imperial Palace. The cheapest items in it are also worth more than 100,000 gold coins, and the best ones are priceless treasures, Brother Lei, I look at it like this, I won't talk or introduce after entering, let you choose five pieces, see how lucky you are?"
Zi Yan said angrily: "Five pieces, you are too picky, can five pieces be worth 45 million gold coins?"
I stopped Zi Yan and said, "Forget it, you can't be too much, not to mention it's just a gambling contract, Brother Tian has already paid a lot." Let's open the door, let's choose five. ”
Tanaka looked at me with some gratitude and said, "Thank you, Brother Lei, for understanding my difficulties." The main hub of this iron gate is a gem whose name is unknown, and my ancestors have cast a blood curse, which can only be opened with our family blood and the key, you wait a minute. ”
As he spoke, he took out a white stone from his bosom and walked over, and stood in front of the stone door as if he were praying for something, and his expression was very respectful, and after a while, he stopped praying, bit his middle finger, painted the white thing red with blood, and pressed it to the iron door without a gap. The blood-red key seeped into it as if it had no substance.
The Good Reaper will be updated from today at a pace that will keep up with the public version of the starting point
