Chapter 19: Great Disrespect
"Carolyn, you don't seem to have a lot of luck!"
Shiva's emerald tiger eyes overflowed with schadenfreude.
The number 5 is drawn out of the dice, corresponding to the 7-ring "Shock Emblem".
Rumble!!
With a flash of golden light, Caroline's mind went blank in shock.
Swish!
Shiva's figure flashed, and she teleported to Caroline.
The sharp tiger claws clasped the white and slender neck of the Spider Queen.
With a little force, she can crush her throat.
"Shiva-sensei!"
Outside the field, Allen's shout was suddenly heard.
White Tiger Martial Venerable turned his head to meet his gaze.
The turquoise tiger eyes full of anger gradually softened, revealing a hint of helplessness.
On the other side of the court, sisters Span Sha and Spanna surrounded Mr. Miri and repeatedly conceded defeat on behalf of his mother, begging him to end the duel quickly!
"Humph! It's boring! ”
Master Shiva withdrew his claws and returned to the sidelines with a gloomy face.
Although she defeated her old enemy, she didn't win happily!
In today's battle, she admits that she took advantage of her luck.
If the "guessing badge" is not effective, the ending may be very different.
What's more, she didn't defeat Caroline on her own.
If it weren't for Allen's addition of stone dissolving potions to the wine in advance, he might not have been able to withstand the petrification effect attached to "Scarlet Death".
The ...... that haunted her the most It was the scandal that Caroline revealed.
Ellen, this kid, has he ever slept with Caroline?
This question lingered in Shiva's mind.
It made her feel uneasy!
In the end, she still couldn't stand the torment of scratching her heart and liver, so she called Alan to a secluded place and asked him face to face.
"Tell me honestly, did you have a ...... with Caroline Did that kind of ugly thing? ”
"Of course not! Teacher, if you don't believe me, let's bring Ms. Caroline over and confront you face to face! Alan said.
"Forget it, it's good if you don't have it......"
Shiva waved his hand, pretending to be calm.
In fact, I still can't let go of my heart.
Even if Eren was telling the truth, it only proved that he had temporarily resisted Caroline's seduction.
As for whether you will be tricked into bed by a mother spider in the future?
Khiva did not dare to make an optimistic prediction.
What made her even more unsettling was that Caroline exposed the heart disease she had been trying to hide.
His feelings for Allen seem to have gone beyond the boundaries of teachers and students, and they are slipping in the direction of violating secular ethics.
Although this was not a big mistake, Shiva was reluctant to admit it.
Otherwise, how can we maintain the dignity of the teacher in front of the students?
However, suppressing this emotion all the time could not make her completely stop thinking.
Like a volcano, the longer it is suppressed, the more violent it erupts, and it is out of control.
The wild desires in her heart, even she herself felt scared, and she didn't know what to do.
When Shiva was in a trance, Eren returned.
"Teacher, Mr. Miri came to us to determine the ranking of the trial and the prizes."
"Hmm...... Got it. ”
Shiva nodded apprehensively, and turned to follow in his footsteps.
……
"Shiva, you defeated Caroline, who is also in the early stage of the seventh order."
"Alan, you crossed the level to challenge Phoebus, and finally won."
"Both of you have performed very well, who is more qualified to be ranked first in the assessment? It's hard for me to make a choice. ”
Mr. Mirry looked at Alan and Shiva with a sinister smile.
"So, I want the two of you to compete openly, and the winner will be rewarded for the first place in the assessment."
"No more competition!" Alan didn't think twice, "I admit defeat!" ”
"What do you mean?"
Shiva squinted at him, his expression unkind.
"You are a teacher, I am a student, I dare not commit a crime, let alone ...... I really can't beat you! ”
Alan told the truth.
"Guess the badge" or something...... It's too evil!
If you guess the 9-ring emblem, you will be killed in seconds!
He didn't want to gamble with his life!
Shiva snorted coldly, stared at him and asked, "I'm a teacher, you're a student, and students should listen to the teacher, right?" ”
"Of course!" Alan nodded.
"Very good, I order you to take the first place, if you dare to be disobedient, I will not recognize you as a student!"
"This ......"
Alan had no choice but to obey.
"Tsk! Your master-apprentice relationship is truly enviable. ”
Miri, the butler, wanted to instigate Alan and Shiva to fight.
As a result, he failed to do so, and his speech was somewhat yin and yang.
Shiva also has a ghost in her heart, from the butler's unintentional words, to Caroline's mockery of her students.
Could it be that outsiders can already see Allen's thoughts clearly, and only he is still pretending to be a teacher?
This thought made White Tiger Wuzun's cheeks burn.
Fortunately, it is now in the form of an animal, with a big fluffy cat face, and it does not show a blush.
Alan received the first place reward from the housekeeper.
In the exquisite box, 11 potions are neatly stacked.
A 100-year-old 3rd order freezing agent.
A full set of "Origin Meditation Method" awakening potions, a total of 9 bottles.
The "Origin Meditation Method" is a decent practice efficiency, not as good as the "Requiem Meditation Method" created by Allen.
The victory lies in the perfect system, from the 1st to the 9th level.
In the future, when you upgrade the "Requiem Meditation Method", it can be used as a fusion material.
Finally, there is a "Dividing Mystic" awakening potion.
When casting, use the "Split Mystic" technique to distract yourself and keep both casters focused.
When meditating, with this technique, you can even split your own consciousness in two and fuse two ancestral spirits at the same time, which can theoretically double the efficiency of meditation.
However, this form of meditation also comes with greater risks.
If you are not careful, your mind will get out of control, and your divided consciousness will not be able to reintegrate, and you will become a schizophrenic madman!
Alan was still calculating as he checked the reward.
The secret method of practice can be shared with Shiva Teacher through assembly meditation.
The third-order freezing elixir, analyze the formula, refine it by yourself, and of course, a copy of Teacher Shiva is indispensable.
In this way, it makes no difference between himself and Teacher Shiva, who wins the first place.
Retracting his thoughts, a bone spur popped out of Allen's palm, and he took out a drop from each of the eleven potions for analysis.
Using its own toxic glands, it analyzes the formulations of various agents.
By the way, five kinds of special ingredients are harvested from the potion.
Gain a total of 20 potentials!
Plus 1 Physique, 1 Agility, and 3 Spirit!
……
Current attributes: Physique 99, Agility 73, Spirit 96
Current Resistances: Immunity to Shock/Aging, Virus Tier 8 / Sonic Tier 7 / Cold Tier 7 / Acid Etch Tier 7 / Fire Resistance Tier 7 / Eclipse Tier 7 / Radiant Tier 5
Potential Reserve: 74 points
……
All the trialists who completed the assessment, a total of 39 people, were all qualified to be selected into Origin City.
According to the assessment ranking, each person will receive a cultivation resource.
Including the attribute magic stone corresponding to one's own bloodline, and the "Origin Meditation Method" with the same rank as oneself.
And ...... the cultivation time of the "Riverside Cabin"!
Eren received the Thunder Magic Stone and the Electric Magic Stone, each with 1,000 pieces.
Sky Beamon belongs to the thunder system, and the gold Titan is biased towards the electric system.
Origin meditation method, he already has a full set, so he doesn't receive it.
Finally, receive a small enchanted wooden card from the butler.
The wooden plaque is the key to enter the "Riverside Cabin", and in addition to Allen's name, there is also a number 40 engraved on it, indicating that the duration of his cultivation is 40 weeks (280 days).
Knowing that one day of cultivation in the riverside hut was equivalent to 10 days in Origin City, which was equivalent to a month's cultivation progress in the Warlock World, the trialists were very excited.
Except for Allen, who is ranked first.
The riverside cabin, which he had already been to twice, was not worth the fuss.
Compared with staying in the house to practice, he yearns for the starry sky and the long river outside the house.
Shiva, who ranked second in the assessment, has a cultivation duration of 39 weeks.
Caroline, who ranked third, has a cultivation time of 38 weeks.
And so on, decreasing by rank.
Lida, who was ranked last among all the trialists, could only practice in the "Riverside Cabin" for two weeks.
If you want to enter the hut to practice after you have used up your cultivation for a long time, there are usually two ways.
Either spend a lot of magic stones, or other equivalent resources, to buy time.
Either accept the commission of Origin City and complete various tasks. Task rewards often include a certain amount of cultivation time.
Knowing that the meditation efficiency in the hut was ten times that of Origin City, the trialists immediately became excited!
"Mr. Miri, how do I get into the riverside hut?"
Fei Lin couldn't wait to ask the butler about it.
"Well, don't worry."
The housekeeper smiled and sold the guanzi.
"It's a riverside hut, not in Origin City."
"You've just finished the trials and assessments, and you're all homesick, aren't you?"
"Give you a month off, go home to visit relatives and friends, and have a good rest."
"Early next month, get back to Origin City on time, and I'll take you to where the Riverside Cottage is."
"Once there, you'll be able to get out of your house and arrive at the real City of Origin, where you'll be exposed to the real world."
"When an eagle has seen the vast sky, how can he be willing to curl up in a narrow nest for the rest of his life?"
"With this step, you will bid farewell to the mortal world."
"While the family is still there, spend more time with your family."
The housekeeper's new words, most of the people didn't understand it.
Only Allen, who has been to the "riverside cabin" a long time ago.
He even walked out of the house and witnessed the bloodline galaxy carrying hundreds of millions of ancestral spirits under the sky of the astral boundary.
Therefore, he was most deeply touched by Mr. Miri's words.
"Mr. Miri, I have a question."
Among the trialists, someone suddenly raised his hand.
The butler turned his head to look over, smiled and nodded, "Ms. Leda, what questions do you have?" ”
"I want to know...... Is it too late to quit now? ”
Lida's face showed the inner entanglement.
She ranked first from the bottom in the assessment, and her self-esteem and confidence were deeply hit.
I have to admit that among this group of geniuses, I am just a mediocre talent who accompanies him.
After Phoebus's death, she lost her backer, and her popularity in the trialist circle was not very good, and she stayed in Origin City, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of the fate of the crane tail.
Instead of that, it is better to exit Origin City and return to the Warlock World.
With his fifth-order strength and the various cultivation resources he obtained in Origin City, he would definitely be valued by the family, and he was even expected to compete for the position of family master!
Rather be the head of the chicken, not the queen of the cow.
Compared with taking unpredictable risks to chase the stars and seas, retreating to your comfort zone is also a realistic attitude towards life.
Among the low-ranking trialists, Lida is not the only one with this mentality.
Under the gaze of everyone, Mr. Mirry sighed regretfully.
"If you really want to quit, it's not impossible."
"However, there are two conditions."
"First, give up the cultivation resources you obtained in the assessment, and as for the resources that you exchanged in the trial before, you can keep them."
"Second, the cultivation can't exceed the early stage of the sixth order, otherwise it will be too unfair to let you go back to the fish pond and treat other miscellaneous fish."
The word "trash fish" is very harsh.
But everyone has to admit that after the eye-opening of Origin City, looking back at the so-called major families in the warlock world, He Fang Haoqiang is just a group of frogs at the bottom of the well.
Leda breathed a sigh of relief.
The two conditions prescribed by the housekeeper are not harsh.
She willingly gave up the trial reward and went home to be a frog at the bottom of the well.
Even though she once jumped out of the well and saw the vast fields and sky.
Especially when the butler hints that Origin City isn't a big deal.
The world outside the city is vast, more exciting, and more dangerous than the city inside.
In the face of this unknown, some people will feel excited and curious, and some people will can't help but retreat.
Leda falls into the latter category.
She was scared, and she didn't want to see anything more than she could see.
It is better to close your eyes, cover your ears, and pretend that the bottom of the well is the whole world.
Spend the rest of your life in an environment that you are familiar with and can control.
After Leda, no one asked.
Miray announced that the trialists could go home.
Alan was not in a hurry to leave, and secretly sent a letter to Fengyue.
Then go to Mr. Miri and buy the medicinal materials for refining the third-order "Frozen Age Elixir" and "Dividing the Mystic Awakening Elixir".
Most of the medicinal herbs are sold here by the housekeeper.
If you can't buy it, you can only try to collect it yourself, or replace it with other medicinal herbs.
Alan still has a lot of attributeless magic stones in his hand, which he can't use for meditation, so he can only spend them as money.
I simply bought three more super demon awakening agents from the housekeeper, which were far-reaching, extremely effective and instantaneous.
……
Increasing Beyond Mana: Costs an additional 2 mana and doubles the range of the Spell/Wizard art.
Extreme Magic: Costs an additional 6 mana and doubles the power of the Spell/Wizard Martial Arts.
Instant Magic: Spend an additional 8 mana, spells/magic skills are exempt from spells and gestures, and are activated instantly.
……
One hundred days in Origin City, only ten days have passed in the Warlock World.
Alan took his sister and little sister home to visit relatives.
After just ten days of absence, of course, there is no major change in the family.
It's business as usual in the town, and it's getting more and more prosperous.
My parents are also in good health, busy with the affairs of the town hall and their own tavern, and live a full and happy life.
Alan stayed at home for a week and became more and more bored.
This peaceful town is too different from the level he is at now, and it seems incompatible.
As Mr. Miri said, young people have seen the vast world outside, and they can't wait to go out and break through, and their nostalgia for their hometown has faded.
The next day, Eren said goodbye to his family and returned to the Silvermoon Monastery.
I plan to use my free time to refine the third-order "Frozen Age" in the alchemy workshop of the monastery.
The herbs that could not be found were replaced by herbs of the same nature.
The results are not satisfactory, and trial and error needs to continue.
After a busy day at the pharmacy, Alan dragged his tired body back to his residence.
Renee cleaned up his bed as usual, took a bath and rubbed his back, and served him properly.
Alan went to bed refreshed.
The tiger girl also sneaked into the quilt, under the banner of helping him warm his feet, kissing and begging for favor.
After the passion, when the two were embracing each other, a red ball of light suddenly appeared next to the bed, and the white tiger emblem was shining.
Renee reads the letter from Master Shiva and hurriedly dresses and gets up.
"Shizun has something urgent to find me, don't wait for me, you can sleep by yourself."
Kissing Allen's cheek, the tiger girl reluctantly left.
The second half of the night.
Alan was half asleep when he heard a slight sound of the door opening.
When I opened my sleepy eyes, I vaguely saw Renee enter the door.
With his back to the bed, he took off his dress lightly.
Standing on the edge of the bed, he hesitated for a while before lifting the corners of the quilt and quietly burrowing into his bed.
Alan leaned sideways to give up half of the bed.
Renee wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and snuggled up softly.
Alan yawned and casually asked her, "What is Shiva-sensei looking for you?" ”
"It's nothing important, just drink with her."
"No wonder you're drunk, you don't seem to have drunk less."
"Uh-huh...... I'm so dizzy, I want to kiss ......"
Alan rolled over, confronted her, and kissed her.
