Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 92 Opportunity for Awakening

a few days later.

[The plot of the derived world has undergone slight changes, and the source of the world has been obtained: 0.2%]

[Currently obtained the source of the world: 6.3%]

The light blue text slowly faded away.

"Mr. Marquez, regarding the recent unusual movements near Sosi Village, I would like to personally investigate."

Xinlailai said after handing the stack of documents to Marquez.

"Investigate it yourself, this..."

Hearing this, a look of hesitation flashed across Marquez's face, but he finally nodded.

"Well, you have been joining the Magic Knights for a while. You should also find opportunities to accumulate achievements and train yourself."

"I will issue an investigation mission to Black Bull, and you should go there with them then. There is indeed something wrong with the recent movements near Sosi Village. I hope you can find out something, Imita."

Marquez said, using communication magic to call a somewhat honest-looking magic knight.

The other party's name was Cobb Poltarut, and he was a space mage dedicated to the Magic Emperor. Since Julius basically had no use for him, he simply let him take care of Sinlai's transportation to and from him.

After Cobb came in, he skillfully opened a portal. Xin Lailai quickly stepped through the door and returned to the gate of the Black Bull Headquarters.

"Hey, boy, are you back much earlier than usual today?"

Just as Xin Lailai was about to enter the door, Yami's voice suddenly came from behind. He turned around and saw Yami and Magna at a glance, who were only wearing a black storm bull cloak.

"..."

Yami and Magna regularly go to Sosi Village to give a sum of money to Sosi Village in the name of gambling, and even deliberately accept each other's commission for free on the pretext of losing the bet.

Xin Lailai glanced at the lower bodies of the two men.

Well, Yami's is bigger than Magna.

"Captain, are you...going to Suoxi Village again?"

The corners of Xin Lailai's eyes twitched slightly, and she took the initiative to push the door open for the two of them. As soon as they entered, they heard Vanessa's exclamation while lying on the sofa.

"Huh? How do you know?"

Yami ignored Vanessa's fiery gaze and walked straight upstairs.

"I just heard some from Marquez."

Xinlailai is very familiar with putting the blame on Marquez.

"Tsk, that mushroom head."

Yami smacked his tongue in displeasure, seeming to be unimpressed with Marquez.

"By the way, Captain, Marquez has given us an investigation mission to investigate whether there are any suspicious persons near Sosi Village. I plan to ask Asta, Noelle and Magna-senpai to join me. Take a trip."

Xin Lailai said smoothly.

"Investigation mission? Imita, are there dangerous people near Sosi Village?"

Before Yami could say anything, Magna rushed over and asked nervously.

"We're not sure yet, maybe the information is wrong."

Xin Lailai comforted Magna, who had a very good relationship with the village chief of Suoxi Village, so he couldn't sit down immediately when he heard that Suoxi Village might be in danger.

"Okay, Magna, go ahead and call the two newcomers over and take them with you."

Yami held Magna's shoulders and asked the other party to call Asta and Noelle, while Xinlai sensiblely went to their room to get two sets of spare clothes.

……

Two 10 minutes later.

"Senior Magna, I have to explain something to you in advance. I lied to you before to make you calm down. In fact, the news that there are dangerous people near Sosi Village is confirmed."

In mid-air, Xinlai controlled the magic broom, carrying Asta and following Magna closely.

"I know, otherwise we wouldn't have specially issued a mission to us."

Magna drove her magic broom and replied with a gloomy expression.

"That's fine."

Xinlailai nodded, then looked at Asta and Noel, who was sitting next to Magna.

"Asta, Noelle, let me ask you, if the situation comes to a point where you have to kill the enemy to protect your own people, what would you do?"

Asta and Noelle were stunned and couldn't answer for a while.

"It's okay if you can't answer it, but you two should be aware of it."

Xin Lailai said in a calm tone, and then cast his gaze forward.

"Has it actually started?"

In his sight, he could vaguely see the outline of a village shrouded in fog gradually emerging in the distance.

"In a sense, these people are quite lucky."

Xin Lailai looked at the fog barrier that enveloped Suoxi Village. To be honest, if the other party had taken action an hour earlier, they might have just bumped into Yami and Magna who were playing cards in Suoxi Village at that time.

In that case, this side mission would be of no concern to him.

"Imita, what is that?"

Asta and others who also saw the Mist Barrier also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Magna on the side directly forcibly increased the speed of the magic broom by a few points and rushed over suddenly.

Xin Lailai shook his head helplessly when he saw this, but he didn't say anything and just speeded up.

As someone who was familiar with the plot, he knew very well that the members of Byakuya's Demonic Eyes had not yet had time to take action, but it was impossible for him to use this reason to persuade Magna to stay calm.

A few minutes later, Xin Lailai and his party stood in front of the Fog Barrier.

"Asta, the rest is up to you. Senior Magna will be responsible for leading the way. Noel will be in the middle to pay attention to the situation. I will take the rear."

Xin Lailai gave a simple instruction, and Asta and others took action immediately.

Asta was seen wielding the Demon-Breaking Great Sword, and the thick mist where the sword blade struck dissipated completely in an instant.

"This should be no problem, Ling Yuzi, let's get started."

Xin Lailai narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the three people who were cooperating in an orderly manner.

Immediately afterwards, I saw him suddenly yell:
"careful!"

boom!
The huge rock spear rushed out of the mist in an instant. Xin Lailai rushed forward and blocked the rock spear. Then, he and his sword were smashed out, and his figure disappeared into the mist.

"Imita!"

Asta screamed in surprise, and immediately rushed towards the direction where Xin Lailai was knocked away, only to find that there was only a shattered rock spear there, but Xin Lailai was nowhere to be seen.

"I'm sorry, Asta, I have to make you worry in vain. Who said that the judgment mechanism of the paradise is to maximize the reward by killing one person alone."

Xin Lailai stood in mid-air, overlooking the three people who were obviously in a panic below. After apologizing, he rushed in a certain direction alone.

Barrier of fog?

After opening up his psychic realm, this thing was useless to him.

"As expected, are you still busy capturing villagers?"

Xin Lailai looked at the scene in the psychic realm. Because they arrived much earlier than in the original work, the pawns of the White Night Demon Eye were still hunting down villagers everywhere.

"However, even the little pawn's magic level has reached the sixth realm. Is it worthy of being a semi-open derivative world?"

Xin Lailai sighed, then quietly landed behind a person and took out a standard Nichirin sword.

The movement of the big sword was too great, so this thing would actually work better at the moment.

Cut and change the water surface!

The mirror-like sword light flashed across the opponent's neck in an instant, and the next second, his head fell to the ground.

……

"Luckily, it seems that the Book of Four Leaves is quite useful."

Xinlai put away the green treasure box with satisfaction. After getting the Four-Leaf Book, his luck value changed from 1 point to 6 points. This made Xinlai full of confidence in his current luck.

"Well, there are two ordinary members left. Let's deal with them all before they hit Asta."

Xin Lailai ignored the frightened villagers on one side and rushed towards the next target.

……

10 minutes later. [Killed ordinary members of White Night Demon Eye

Get the source of the world: 0.1%

Currently obtained the source of the world: 6.5%]

[Treasure box obtained (green)]

A quarter of an hour later, Xin Lailai put away the heavy mountain sword in his hand, looked at the smashed corpse in front of him, thought for a while, and fired a fireball at the opponent.

Forget about the two who were neatly decapitated. This death was too miserable and it affected the appearance of the city. It would be better to deal with it.

In the original work, the last one of the three minions who managed to slip away from the protagonist was probably this guy.

If Xin Lailai hadn't driven the psychic field and chased this guy for three streets, he might have been able to escape successfully.

"Okay, all that's left is to watch the show."

Xin Lailai looked behind him. Even though he was so far away, he could still feel the fluctuation of magic power coming from the distance.

According to the information, this little boss named Sith is only at the upper-middle level of the four domains, but he can already make Xin Lailai feel powerless.

Unless he could get within five meters of the opponent and kill him directly with the Soul Blade, there was basically nothing he could do against an enemy of this level.

But how easy is it to get close to a spell-based enemy?

As for other means, when he couldn't get close, he only had spell chips, fireballs and rock creation magic.

Even if it is the most damaging rock creation magic, Xin Lailai estimates that this thing will not have much power left after breaking through the magic layer on the opponent's body.

Therefore, rather than fighting directly, it is better to wait for the opponent to be knocked down by the protagonist Asta before going up to hit the target.

After making up his mind, Xin Lailai leisurely rushed towards the direction of the magic wave. He also picked up the other two corpses on the way, and then comforted the frightened villagers.

Xin Lailai was not in a hurry at all. There were two full episodes in the original work. Even if he eliminated three soldiers in advance, it would still be one and a half episodes long.

So, under Xin Lailai's precise attack, when he arrived, he happened to bump into the scene where the Sith leader was knocked to the ground by Asta's sword.

"Imita, great! You're okay!"

When Asta saw Xin Lailai intact, he suddenly became excited.

As a result, he fainted before taking two steps.

"Well, Asta, thank you for your hard work."

Xinlailai caught Asta in time, put him gently on the ground, and then came to Magna and Noelle.

"Imita, you are almost worried about us to death!"

Magna laughed and hit Xin Lailai on the chest with a hammer.

"I've made you worry. By the way, Senior Magna, could you please step aside for a moment?"

Xin Lailai said with a smile, and then walked to the unconscious Sith under the puzzled eyes of Magna and others.

Rock Creation Magic·Rock Thorn!
The sharp rock thorn instantly pierced into Sith's abdomen, and the unconscious Sith was instantly awakened by the severe pain.

"you…!"

Sith stared at Xin Lailai with his eyes wide open, blood bleeding from the corners of his mouth.

Xin Lailai dug into the Sith's abdomen with an expressionless expression, and pulled out a spherical magic weapon that was shattered by a rock thorn.

"In my case, don't even think about committing suicide and being buried, Mr. Sis."

Xin Lailai bent down to Sith's ear and whispered softly.

Hearing that Xin Lailai not only saw through his back-up plan, but even revealed his own identity, Sissi's face, which was already somewhat pale due to excessive blood loss, suddenly turned pale.

I saw Sis opening his lips desperately, trying to say something, but he felt a strong impact on the back of his head. Xin Lailai's palm pressed his head and hit it hard on the ground, knocking him unconscious.

"Are there any nuns from the church here? Just help him treat him and make sure he doesn't die directly."

Xin Lailai stood up, looked at the surrounding villagers, and shouted loudly.

The villagers looked at each other, but no one dared to come forward.

Seeing the fear on the faces of the villagers, Xin Lailai sighed helplessly and looked at Magna aside.

"Senior Magna, it's up to you to do it. If you really can't find anyone who can take this guy's breath away, call me over."

Xin Lailai said, looking up at the little black bird flapping its wings in the air, stepping on the magic broom, and followed it, leaving Magna and Noelle with confused faces.

"Imita...how did he know that this guy has magic items hidden in his body?"

Noelle couldn't help but ask Magna.

Magna shook her head in confusion.

"I don't know. It's better for us to treat this guy quickly, otherwise he will really die here."

Magna shook her head, and then shouted something to the villagers. After a while, an elderly nun walked out of the crowd.

Facts have proved that the reputation of Magna, a regular customer of Soxi Village, is indeed somewhat more useful than Xin Lailai's own.

……

"Hmm, is this thing a magic stone? It obviously stores such a huge amount of magic power, but you can't sense it at all if you don't feel it carefully. It's really magical."

In the village chief's house, Xin Lailai stood on a corridor, holding a purple flat hexagonal stone between his two fingers, and placed it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"

The demon-avoiding bird, which looked like a plump swallow, pecked at Xin Lailai's palm desperately, as if she was very angry that Xin Lailai had snatched away what originally belonged to her.

Nero, also known as Xiao Hei, is the maid of the first generation of magic emperor. It is said that they are maids. The relationship between the two is closer to that of brother and sister or lovers. In order to save the first generation of magic emperor, he used forbidden magic to seal it. He himself was because of The backlash of the forbidden technique turned into a demon-avoiding bird, living from 500 years ago to the present.

If it weren't for the time being not to reveal too much, Xin Lailai would really like to disclose the other party's identity directly to other characters. After all, the practical value of the other party's sealing magic that can seal magic into props is too great.

"Okay, don't be angry, I'll just give it back to you. But, Xiao Hei, are you sure you want Asta to keep this thing? Theoretically, it should be safer to leave it to the current Magic Emperor for safekeeping. "

Xin Lailai said with a smile, letting go of the magic stone in his hand and letting Xiao Hei pick it up.

After hearing what Xin Lailai said, Xiao Hei was silent for a while. After squinting at Xin Lailai for a while, he jumped into his palm and put the magic stone back.

"A little magic, don't worry about it."

Xin Lailai put the magic stone into the storage space in front of Xiao Hei, and then looked at the mission prompts of the paradise.

[Side mission has been triggered: The Magic Stone’s Choice]

[Side mission: The choice of magic stone]

Task Difficulty: LV.20
Mission introduction: The power of choice has been handed over to you.

Mission information: Collect ten magic stones and choose to give them to the Magic Emperor Julius or the leader of the White Night Demon Eye, Patri.

Mission deadline: 59:23 in 59 days

Mission reward: Attribute points*8, Paradise points*24000, Awakening monument*1
Mission Penalty: None
*Tip: Current magic stone collection progress: 1/10
……

The choice of magic stone, in terms of difficulty, is the most difficult branch line that Xin Lailai can currently access.

Because this thing requires collecting all ten magic stones to complete the mission, otherwise it will be judged as a failure. The completion conditions are extremely harsh for first-level contractors, so the paradise does not even bother to set up mission penalties. After all, the mission cannot be completed. That's the norm.

But this task is the only difficult side task that Xin Lailai can get full rewards for.

Collecting all the magic stones seems extremely difficult, but in fact, once you know the whereabouts of these magic stones, the difficulty of the task is greatly reduced.

The biggest difficulty here is how to get the few magic stones that have fallen into the hands of White Night Demon Eye.

"If this mission can be completed, even if the main plot performance is a little inferior, it will be worthwhile." Xin Lailai looked at the branch plot of the magic stone and licked his lips.

The rewards for this branch are so generous that he can’t help but be tempted.

Not to mention anything else, just the Awakening Monument is a thing that can be used to force the awakening of talents. If you throw it into the paradise, a bunch of people will fight for their heads.

If this thing can be obtained, Xin Lailai's future path will be much broader. Even if it is not used for himself, it can be used to awaken Ling Yuzi's talent.

But overall, both he and Ling Yuzi believed that this thing was most suitable for him to use. After all, [complete substitution] was a special talent that could not be awakened through normal channels.

On the contrary, because Ling Yuzi's [Spirit Body] is an ordinary talent, not only are there many ways to awaken it, but the difficulty is also very low.

"But Lai Lai, will there really be no problems if your talent awakens?"

Ling Yuzi's worried voice sounded in Xin Lailai's mind.

"To be honest, I'm not sure myself. I guess I'll have to ask my brother before they can make a decision."

Xin Lailai sighed softly, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

During this period, he seemed not to be completely affected by substitution, but in fact that was because Ling Yuzi helped him correct his thinking through his psychic communication ability every night.

If Ling Yuzi hadn't been around, he might have really regarded himself as Julius's second most trusted confidant, Imita, instead of the contractor Xin Lailai.

Moreover, the more repeated corrections, the more Xin Lailai realized the pitfalls of fully substituting this talent.

Among other things, when helping Julius handle official documents, he had more than once thought of revealing his true identity to help Julius, and at the time he had no doubts about this idea.

After being corrected by Ling Yuzi, Xin Lailai himself was often startled by the thoughts he had during the day.

For this reason, Xin Lailai even had to increase the intensity of his spiritual communication with Ling Yuzi to a higher level, so that Ling Yuzi could sense his state of mind at any time.

"I can only hope that this thing will not develop in a worse direction after it awakens."

Xin Lailai shook his head gently and stopped thinking about the awakening of his talent. Instead, he started thinking about side tasks.

The awakening of his talent is still too far away for him now, so he should do the things at hand first.
