Card Master Guide.

Chapter 101 Sir, you don't want your companions to suffer, do you?

October 6th, Sunday.

The weather is hot, and the large lawn of Honeysuckle University reflects the bright sunshine.

There was a bus parked at the gate of the school. The little old man was wearing a white coat. Looking at the serious old man beside him, he said with a smile:

"There are only a dozen or so people in the world who know Tocharian. You, Holman, are one of them. When Professor Lin teaches me, I will be one of them."

Holman snorted: "You don't have to be ashamed to recognize a young man in his twenties as a teacher."

The little old man smiled and said: "Because of this mentality, you have not been rated as a 'master'."

Holman choked for a moment, and turned his head with a flick of his sleeves.

The two have competed for most of their lives in the field of ancient languages, and both are well-known academic authorities.

Compared with the Bopper master who specializes in one linguistics, Professor Holman is a generalist, and he also has a place in the field of archaeology.

Apart from these two, there is also a talented female scholar in her 20s, Rosalin from the Department of Archeology of Rongguang Imperial University, who participated in this archaeological operation.

And two fourth-tier card masters in charge of security work, a man and a woman named 'Zhong Xingfeng' and 'Vikalina', a couple.

A total of five people, plus Lin Xiao, who was strongly recommended by Master Bopu, formed the archaeological team.

"Here we come." The little old man saw the person coming, his eyes lit up, and he beckoned, "Lin Xiao, here!"

The young man with black hair and black pupils was wearing a thin jacket, walked up to him, smiled and nodded: "Good morning, Master Bopu."

Afterwards, Lin Xiao glanced back and said politely: "I remember, you are Professor Holman of Tulip, nice to meet you."

Holman looked at Lin Xiao and nodded his head as a greeting.

Master Bopu introduced the team members to Lin Xiao: "These two are responsible for the security work..."

The two brigade card masters in charge of the battle smiled friendly and greeted Lin Xiao with a smile.

"And this one, Rosalind from the Department of Archeology at Imperial University—a talented scholar who has received three doctorates at a young age." Bopu laughed.

"You are overrated, Master Bopu." Rosalin was blond and blue-eyed, wearing a scholar's white coat, observing Lin Xiao with surprise in her heart.

I have already heard about the latest associate professor of Lonicera.

But I really didn't expect that he would be so young, and his appearance was more handsome than imagined.

According to rumors, his academic ability can even teach Master Bopu, which is really incredible...

"Let's go." Professor Holman said, "Take the bus, and we will be able to reach the suburbs in two hours. Then we will transfer to a jeep off-road vehicle and arrive near the ruins before dark. After the preliminary survey, we will pitch a tent in the wild for the night."

"Materials, tents, etc., are stored in the 'storage card'." Master Bopu said with a smile, "The power of science is really great."

Lin Xiao thought, this is not scientific at all!
Open up an independent space, this is the characteristic given to the card by Chaos, the Lord of Time and Nothingness.

Just as the card can switch between 'spirit and matter', it is the characteristic that Candle Dragon bestows on the card.

In general, due to the existence of cards, it is much more convenient for card masters to carry props.

But this ability will not be used on a large scale in the transportation industry. After all, as a kind of energy source, "source power" is quite expensive.

The bus was quite empty, only the driver and the archaeological team.

Lin Xiao found a corner and sat down, looking at the receding scenery outside the window. Not long after, there was a debate in the front seat—Bopp and Holman had another heated discussion on academic issues.

The blond woman in a white coat was a little helpless, she left the front seat, sat in the front row on Lin Xiao's left hand side, turned her head slightly, and greeted:

"Nice to meet you, Professor Lin."

"Hello, Miss Rosalin." Lin Xiao paused and said, "What advice do you have?"

Rosalin raised a friendly smile and said: "I heard from Master Bopu that this is your first time participating in an archaeological operation, so I would like to remind you that monsters may also appear during the archaeological process of ruins. Although there are security personnel around, don't take it lightly .”

After experiencing many incidents, Lin Xiao has a clearer understanding of his own strength.

Invincible below the seventh level, but whether he can win against super S-level monsters and Guoshi Wushuang is still a question mark.

As for the realm of heroes and gods above humans, all I can do now is to pluck their wool.

Of course, it is still very easy to solve the monsters encountered in the ruins by yourself.

"Thank you for the reminder." Lin Xiao nodded and asked, "I heard from Master Bopu that the excavation this time is the remains of the sleeping god 'Hupnos'. Do you have more detailed information?"

Rosalin thought for a moment, and said: "The condition of the ruins can only be known after the on-site survey... I can share some myths about 'Hupnos'."

"Excuse me." Lin Xiao nodded.

"Hypnos lives in the underworld. Whenever the night falls, he will order his followers to lure humans to sleep. His followers are called 'dream demons' by humans. In other gods, there are also creatures like succubi .”

Rosalin paused for a moment, and said a little awkwardly: "The succubi are divided into males and females. They will sneak into people's dreams when night falls, make friends with them and absorb energy...so that people can fall into a deep sleep."

Lin Xiao retrieved the mythical knowledge of his previous life.

As a game planner, he made a lot of references to the myths of various countries when writing the game content, and he is considered a half-expert.

Creatures like succubus appear in the myths of various countries.

The most classic image is 'Lilith': a sexy, alluring, alluring bat demon with a pronged tail and long horns.

Generally speaking, nightmares and nightmares are two kinds of creatures.

The former is haunted by nightmares, while the latter is day and night.

Human beings in the Middle Ages hated nightmares deeply, but loved nightmares.

In Celtic mythology, Merlin, the famous great magician and mentor of King Arthur, is of half human and half succubi blood.Merlin's mother conceived in a dream, thus giving birth to Merlin.

Lin Xiao: "That is to say, we may meet the succubus this trip?"

Rosalind: "It's just a guess... It's best to have a smooth journey, but the potential risks must also be taken into account."

Professor Lin folded his arms and his heart moved slightly.

This kind of charm trick has no effect on me who has the "power of arrogance".

Once the succubus sneaks into the dreamland, I can easily chop it up, and maybe even reveal rare materials...

Dream Demon, I want you to help me cultivate!

……

After driving for about two hours, the bus arrived at a large khaki plain in the suburbs.

After everyone got out of the car, Professor Holman took out the binoculars and said, "The road stops here, and we will change to an off-road vehicle—Mr. Zhong, please excuse me."

Zhong Xingfeng, who was in charge of security work, nodded, and released an orange flame with his right palm, turning the vehicle fixture into a camouflage-painted jeep off-road vehicle.

The jeep seats four, and Rosalind drives.Zhong Xingfeng and Vicarina each rode a motorcycle to open the way.Three billows of dust were set off on the wasteland, and the orange-red sun was about to set at the end of the mountain.

"Do you want to change the driver?" Lin Xiao sat in the co-pilot and said, "I see that your face is not very good."

"A little tired——" Rosalin turned the steering wheel and looked back, "Can you drive?"

"I don't have a driver's license." Lin Xiao looked around, "There shouldn't be any traffic police here either."

Rosalind: "..."

In the end, she switched places with Lin Xiao.

"It's my first time." Lin Xiao turned the steering wheel.

"Remember, slow down..." Rosalind said softly.

"Understood—Master Bopper, Professor Holman, fasten your seat belts."

Lin Xiao stepped on the gas pedal.

Amidst the exclamation of the group, the jeep raced forward in the wilderness, and the two driving the motorcycle stared wide-eyed.

Who is sitting in the driver's seat?
A broken jeep that even performed the technical moves of a professional racing car?

*
The afterglow is fiery red, reflecting a cave at the foot of the mountain. There are ruins and walls nearby, and a safety warning line has been surrounded.

Rosalind took out a bunch of precision instruments and fiddled with them seriously.

Lin Xiao was greeted by Master Bopu to identify the inscription together.

The stele stands outside the cave, the body of the stele is damaged by wind erosion, and the inscriptions on the stele are faintly discernible.

"It should be the lingua franca of ancient humans, there is nothing wrong with it." Master Bopu asked, "What do you think, Lin Xiao?"

Lin Xiao nodded and said: "It is indeed a common language, but it belongs to a local variant... It can be understood as a dialect of countries around the Mediterranean Sea."

Holman looked at Lin Xiao in surprise.

Master Bopu had a happy look on his face when he picked up the treasure, and said cheerfully: "Not bad, I think so too!"

"This inscription records the worship of 'dream'." Master Bopu said, "This is a kind of belief, similar to the worship of 'fate', 'land', and 'sun'—I speculate , they may be believers of the sleeping god 'Hypnos', migrated to this continent, and built temples of native beliefs in foreign countries."

The little old man looked towards the cave and said excitedly, "And the ruins of the Temple of Sleeping God are inside that cave!"

"It's too early to jump to conclusions." Holman looked up and said, "The sun is about to set, so sort out the existing information and prepare to set up camp."

There are three tents in total.

Lin Xiao and Zhong Xingfeng, the two professors, and Vicarina and Rosalin.

After a simple dinner, we continued to survey the surroundings of the ruins and sort out the existing information. It was almost ten o'clock.

Master Bopu announced the completion of today's progress.

Tomorrow's task is to enter the cave, and perhaps find the altar of the Sleeping God.

Night falls.

The temperature plummeted, the mountains were shrouded in darkness, and the wind rustled in the wilderness.

Zhong Xingfeng stood guard outside the tent.

Night is the time when monsters are most active, and this ruin is related to the god of sleep, so we must be on guard at night.

He and his girlfriend Vicarina are both fourth-tier card masters.

It's not enough to put it in the world-class Star Cup competition, but in Star Map City, it is already a leader among the security personnel.

"I'll take turns with you at night." Lin Xiao suggested, "It's not safe for you to watch the night yourself."

"Thank you little brother for your kindness. However, there is no reason for the guardian to keep watch at night." Zhong Xingfeng smiled, "I made an agreement with my girlfriend, I will watch the first half of the night, and she will watch the second midnight. If you really want to sleep In emergencies such as waking up, ghosts pressing the bed, etc., I will light the meditation wood."

Meditation wood is a kind of wood with a special fragrance. The fragrance after burning has a calming effect and can dispel some negative states.

After running around all day, coupled with a lot of mental work, Lin Xiao was indeed a little tired.

Decided to take a break for the time being, and get up in the middle of the night to check the situation again.

If there are really monsters like succubus.

With the "Arrogance Purple Jade", I can also detect it immediately.

*
Deep in the cave.

A few dark blue water lilies float on the water surface of a dark spring.

On the ruins of the altar dedicated to the god of sleep 'Hypnos', stands an altar of the demon god emitting blue light.

In the center of the altar floated a piece of dark blue original fragments. The flickering blue light was like candlelight, casting two shadows on the wall.

The one on the left is like a cloud of black mist, constantly changing shape.

The figure on the right is protruding forward and backward, with a tail attached to the buttocks.

"Outside, there are a lot of people, humans." Heiwu's voice was hoarse and dry, like the sound of dripping water echoing in a dark cave.

"I saw it." The female voice was lazy and pleasant, and she could imagine a sexy figure just by Yujie's voice, she smiled charmingly and said in her heart.

Among the pedestrians, there is also a very handsome human male.

The black mist said hoarsely: "Human beings will interfere with the ceremony of the adults."

After speaking, the shadow quickly disappeared from the wall, and a cloud of black mist rushed out of the cave, and was stopped by a female voice viciously.

"return!"

In the darkness, a tall and sexy succubus with a large chest stepped out step by step.

She bent the corner of her head, looked up her eyes, and said:

"You control other humans so that they cannot wake up. That black-haired human who is difficult to deal with, leave it to me to deal with!"

Hei Wu's tone was slightly blank: "How do you know that he is difficult to deal with?"

"I said yes! Hurry up and do it!" The Dream Demon scolded.

There was a gust of wind, and the black mist rushed out of the cave.The nightmare melted into the night, spying on the humans in the tent.

"The two fourth-order humans, and the others are not a threat..." Meng Meng narrowed his eyes.

If you dare to invade Lord Belphegor's territory, you are looking for your own death!
The power left on the altar of the god of sleep 'Hypnos' is similar to the power of the god of sloth 'Belphegor'.

Therefore, the two believers of the Sloth Demon God took over the magpie's nest and transformed the remains of the Sleeping God into an altar for the Demon God.

Belphegor's disciples are quite lazy, they mainly rely on absorbing the essence of passing humans, and rarely take the initiative to attack.

But since there is an archaeological team that is not afraid of death, they will naturally not show mercy.

Staring at Lin Xiao in his sleep, Yu Jie licked the corner of her mouth.

Thank you Lord Belphegor for your gift!

Lin Xiao had a dream.

I dreamed that I was in a sea of ​​golden sunflowers.

The black-haired young man was wearing a white shirt. Looking around, he saw a woman in a white dress wearing a sun hat coming from the other side of the sea of ​​flowers.

The woman took off her visor, revealing a charming and coquettish pretty face that had nothing to do with purity, and said disappointedly:
"I didn't expect you to like this type."

"Where is this?" Lin Xiao asked calmly.

The woman waved her hand lightly, the sea of ​​flowers suddenly changed color, the sunflowers withered into blood-red manjusawa, and the sky was purple and red.

"This is the world of dreams."

The succubus returned to its original attire, its eyes gleamed with a charming purple light, and it smiled charmingly: "You can stay here forever, the dream world."

Lin Xiao tried to use the fire seed, and got a response from the Meteor Sword, so he checked his mind.

The dream world, like the source world, is one of thousands of spiritual worlds.

Therefore, in this world, the power of cards and fire can also be mobilized.

The Dream Demon twisted her slender waist and walked slowly, her eyes glowed with a coquettish pink light, and said with a smile:

"Sir, you don't want your companion to suffer outside, do you?"

"Do it yourself, maybe I can let your companion survive!" The dream demon's beautiful face showed a hint of ferocity.

Lin Xiao sighed softly: "Then there is no other way."

The corners of Mengmo Yujie's lips turned up: "Good boy, this is good... huh?"

Her pupils constricted: "What is this?"

no respond.

Lin Xiao thrust the Meteor Sword into the ground violently, put his hands on the hilt of the sword, and said in a low voice:
"Armed, possessed!"

Black flames engulfed Lin Xiao, and a pitch-black armor quickly appeared on his body.

Immediately, the epee man 'kuang' raised his great sword with both hands, and black flames surged upward along the sword body, extending out a giant lightsaber more than 40 meters long!
Yujie Mengmo looked up at the huge sword, was shocked and lost her mind, and murmured:
"This, I can't handle this..."

Boom! !

The giant lightsaber slashed down, and the entire dream world trembled under the terrifying sword force.

The sky of this small world shattered a hideous crack, and the succubus trembled under the mighty coercion, unable to scream, and was wiped out under the force of the sword!

Scanned the data on the card.

Meteor Sword has increased a lot of experience points.

Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Dream monsters, elves, and mermaid princesses are all fake...

Big sword is my true love!
