Chapter Eighty-Three: The Purpose of the Star Tower
Mu Zilei found that he had finally returned to the top floor of the cafeteria, and he saw Ghost Tiger, Shadow Dance and Xiong Tianba waiting for him in front of him, they waved at him excitedly, but the next moment, their faces changed drastically. Mu Zilei hurriedly turned around, and a giant snake made of lava opened his bloody mouth with suffocating heat. He was so frightened that he ran away, but before he could take a few steps, the lava serpent slammed into his back.
"Burn me!" Mu Zilei shouted, sweating profusely and opening his eyes, what he saw was not the lava giant snake, but the scrawny Fang Xian Doctor who leaned down to observe.
"He's fine. Fang Xianyi raised his head and announced, and next to him stood the Ghost Tiger.
"Zilei, you've finally woken up, Shadow Dance, Xiong Tianba, and Hu Fei have just left," Ghost Tiger said, "Everyone is worried about you." ”
"Why am I in the medical room again?" Mu Zilei said as he touched his back that was still faintly burning.
"You've been in a coma for three days and three nights, it's Lin A...... No, it was Wang Haoran who took us and found you on the top floor of the cafeteria, when you were unconscious on the ground, and the clothes behind you were melted off at some point, and a big crack was split from top to bottom," said the ghost tiger. That day, you asked me and Shadow Dance to take people to the top of the building separately, who expected that something went wrong, Shadow Dance said that when she caught up with Teacher Gu Xiaolan, they heard that Wang Haoran was catching the little spirit beast, so they all ran to the depths of the Forest of Refinement, and when I went to find the hall head and the head of the training department, I was told that they went to the city, because Pojun woke up, it is said that he told the hall master at that time that the murderer who sucked his spiritual power was Duanmu An and not Wang Haoran. ”
"Anyway, when we brought people to the roof, it was empty. He continued, "How did you get into the Twin Flowers? You stayed to devour the Lord's Spiritual Root, did you succeed? Behind him is a pile of dry roots, and are those dry roots the residue of the main spiritual root? Also, have you really seen evil spirits?"
"No, in fact, I was planning to save her......" So, Mu Zilei told everything that happened in the twin flowers, and the ghost tiger was dumbfounded.
"That's weird," said the ghost tiger after a stunned moment, "after you come out." The government once sent people to venture in to investigate, and I heard that in addition to seeing a mountain of dry tree roots, not to mention the main spiritual root, not even an evil spirit was found. ”
"They must have perished together. He concluded.
This may be the most likely thing, Mu Zilei thought to himself.
"By the way, the hall master wants you to go to him when you wake up, he wants to know more about what happened to you," said Ghost Tiger, "Also. The results of our year-end calendar are out. ”
"Huh?" Mu Zilei only remembered this at this time, on the task list that required the collection of designated herbs, he still missed a herb called "humanoid root" and failed to get it, and he failed to pass the training. That meant that his mentor Nie Renzhen would be swept out of the house, and he himself would most likely be kicked out of the school, he thought of the dislike on his face as the head of discipline. "Needless to say, I didn't pass the trial. Because I still haven't collected one herb yet. ”
"No," Onihu said. "All three of us, including you, are qualified. ”
Mu Zilei exhaled deeply, although he was surprised, the big stone in his heart finally fell.
"The school holiday will not start until the day after tomorrow," said Ghost Tiger, "why don't we go into the city for a visit tomorrow, I heard that tomorrow the largest auction house in the city, the Jubao Auction House, will have a grand auction, which will attract many dignitaries and dignitaries, and it will definitely be very lively." ”
Mu Zilei readily agreed, after going through so many things, he really needed to find a chance to relax.
After saying goodbye to the ghost tiger, Mu Zilei went to find the hall head, and happened to meet Nangong Yu and Ouyang Huo, the head of training, along the way.
"Wang Haoran has already told us the truth of the matter," Nangong Yu said, "After obtaining his consent, we plan to bury Wang Ruoran's bones with my brother Ouyang Xing, we have been busy with this matter for the past two days, and we haven't had time to thank you in person, our Ouyang family and Nangong family owe you a big favor." ”
This can be regarded as a lover's family, Mu Zilei thought to himself.
"Don't think that you hit by mistake, I want to praise you, you are reckless and don't know how to measure," Ouyang Huo interjected, although his expression was still serious, Mu Zilei noticed that his inherent dislike for himself was much less, "Do you know that you are a half-human, cough, half-spirit broke into that kind of place......"
"You should be thanking rather than preaching at this time," Nangong Yu interrupted his father's words, "You go first, and I'll follow." Ouyang Huo had no choice but to turn around, he paused before leaving, and Mu Zilei heard the word "thank you" as thin as a mosquito.
"I hope you don't be surprised, he has always been so stubborn, but he was finally enlightened once, and he let you pass the year-end calendar on the side of the net," Nangong Yu said, "I don't know why, since I knew the truth of the matter, I didn't resist him as much as before, although I am not very used to it, but I believe it will get better, all this is your credit, Zilei, thank you." ”
"You're welcome, in fact, I didn't do ......" His words were interrupted by Nangong Yu, who was hugging him.
Nangong Yu gave a wet and fragrant kiss on his little face, Mu Zilei's heart was beating like a newborn deer, and he hit it from his neck, all of which became red.
"I'm still a child," Nangong Yu chuckled when he noticed the change in him, "I've already passed the experience of leaving the Teacher's Tower, and I'm about to graduate and leave school." If you encounter any trouble in the future, come to the Holy Fire Cult to find me. ”
When Nangong Yu left, Mu Zilei was still stunned, and there was an extra fire pattern jade plaque in his hand, which was a token of the Holy Fire Sect given to him by Nangong Yu.
At the same time, in the director's room of the Bacon Academy, the two professors from the Star Tower of the Sleepless City of the Long Night Country sat facing each other with the King of the Scriptures.
"So, the two professors plan to leave the day after tomorrow?" said the king.
"Well, if it weren't for the invitation from the Jubao Auction House, we would have returned to the Star Tower today. Bai Yan said.
"Oh, then I can travel with two professors, and I'm lucky enough to be on the list of invitees. In addition to this auction house in town. But there are also a lot of interesting places, such as the alleys in the center of the city. There is a wide variety of goods there, new and chic. Another example is the Golden Rice Xiang Inn, where the secret taste of stone-skinned wild boar can make people linger......" Jing Wang noticed that the two professors were not very interested in this, so he had to change the conversation and said, "In short, thank you again for the two professors who came from afar to teach our first-year freshmen." ”
"The head of the hall is polite, the Star Academy and the Bacon Academy under our Star Tower have always been in the same spirit, and they are both members of the Ten Schools Alliance of the Omniscient Tree in the Atlas Continent, and it has been a tradition of our two schools for more than 300 years to send professors to teach each other. This time it was Hei Yu who said, "The potential of your freshmen this year is impressive, presumably next year's annual All-Knowing Tree Ten School Alliance Freshman Competition, Guitang's chances of winning are only more than in previous years, maybe with the strength of this year's class of freshmen, win the crown." ”
"Professor Hei has been promoted, our academy has not been in the top five of the league's freshman competition for several years, let alone the championship, but your academy has maintained the top three in recent years. ”
"This time was different. In this year's Xingta special training class, the 100 students are all extraordinary, and they can be said to be talented, and there are several of them. I was impressed with both me and Black, especially the broken army ......," said Bai Yan after a change of topic, "That's right. How is he doing now?"
"Hmm...... It's not a big deal," King Jing said. Fortunately, it was later found out that he was only killed by the stolen Fang Guild, not a corpse. Otherwise, he would still be isolated, but, no matter what, he would not be able to cultivate spiritual power in his life. ”
"That's a shame. White Eyes exchanged a strange look with Black Eyes, and after that, they said goodbye to King Jing.
As they were leaving, they bumped into a student around a corner, and when they could see their appearance, Darkhorn held out his hand.
"You're Mu Zilei, right?"
"Yes, Professor. Mu Zilei took his hand, stood up, and looked curiously at the purple bronze collar around the professor's neck in front of him.
"Well, you should pay attention to walking in the future. With that, he departed with his companions.
"Of the hundred students in the special training class, do you think there will be the Soul Destroyer we are looking for?" asked Kura as he walked away.
"That broken army is talented, withdrawn and cruel, we thought that he was very likely to be the son of the soul destroyer, but he ended up in such a miserable end, we had to exclude this person, except for him, there are only a few top-notch students worth examining, and the others are not very likely," Bai Yan said, "On the contrary, the half-spirit Mu Zilei I met just now aroused my little interest, and he has been in the limelight a lot recently." ”
"I started to think like you," Hei Yu thought, "so when I helped him just now, I deliberately sent a trace of spiritual power to detect, but his body was empty, such a disabled person with no spiritual power, if we presented his name, it would definitely make those old guys laugh." ”
"Well, that's right, it seems that he just happened to have some good luck," Bai Yan said, "This time, in the name of learning and exchange, we came to find the son of the soul destroyer, and I don't know if there is any gain, like we are looking for a needle in a haystack, the chance is really slim." ”
"This is also a matter of no choice, our task is only to find possible people for the Star Tower's deduction and confirmation," Hei Yu said thoughtfully, "Thirteen years ago, the Seven Sons of the Star Tower, using the Star Dao Seven Palace Array Deduction, learned that the Son of the Exterminator was born that year, but in the twelve years since, the Son of the Exterminator has been like being hidden in a layer of impenetrable dense fog, and no matter how they calculate and deduce, they can't get further results. But just a year ago, the Son of the Soul Slayer suddenly seemed to emerge from the fog, allowing the elders of the Star Tower to deduce a new clue - he would appear among the new students in the Ten Schools Alliance of the All-Knowing Tree at the age of twelve, and show his talent far beyond ordinary people. If it weren't for this sudden calculation result, the professors of our Star Tower would not have rushed to the other nine schools except our own school before the start of the semester to investigate the truth in the name of exchange and learning. ”
"Well, I hope that this time the labor will be rewarded. Otherwise, it will only be possible to further estimate and narrow down the scope of the investigation when the legendary Son of Soul Destroyer reappears in the vision," Bai Yan said helplessly, "Every effective calculation, although it can be one step closer to finding the Son of Soul Destroyer, but at the same time, it also means that his strength is one point stronger, which really doesn't know if it's good or bad......" (To be continued......
