Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 257 A distinguished guest

  Clear Sky used secret techniques to strengthen Sheriff and Dark Night once, and then sent them out to steal things.

   As the capital of the Golden Shield Empire, Shenglun City has a very long history. Time is the best medium for creating mysterious items. The older something is, the easier it is to become an item with powerful mysterious energy.

  And most of the owners of mysterious props don't know the value of the things in their hands. The "Guide to the Most Valuable Mysterious Items in the City of Saint Lun" was compiled after rounds of raids by the players. Therefore, for Qingkong, coming to the imperial capital this time is really like entering a treasure house.

   It's time for a systematic improvement in the strength of the main body.

  Qing Kong recalled the moment when the Book of Calamity ran away, the moment he released the Shining Gold spell, and felt that the strength of the main body should be carefully planned.

  One of the purposes of Luke's trip to the lower city is to use the mysterious energy in the sewage reservoir to make a mixture of mysterious substances. It was a dose of the only fifth-generation mysterious substance mixture recognized by players, named "Aria of Huoshaoyunchao Song".

  After injecting this mixture of mysterious substances, one can obtain a perfect affinity for the fire element, releasing fire attribute magic is as gorgeous as using fire to burn clouds in the sky to compose music.

  Now Luke's body is very compatible with fire and thunder because of the influence of Taotie and Jianglei Huotong, and thunder and fire can stimulate a complementary boost effect. Therefore, it is best for Luke's body to go along with these two attributes and perfect the thunder and fire specialization.

   "Aria of Huoshaoyun Chaoqu" is a must.

   It's just that the manufacturing process of this potion is very complicated, and some rare mysterious energies require luck, which is not as common as the first-generation mysterious substance mixture.

  Controlling the sewage reservoir is to ensure that when the needed rare mysterious energy appears, it can be collected and taken in the first place.

   Moreover, the "Aria of Huoshaoyun Chaoqu" cannot be injected directly, and four doses of different mysterious substance mixtures are required to gradually enhance the body's affinity for the fire element. Only when it reaches the best state can the full effect of "Aria of Huoshaoyunchao Song" be brought into full play.

   The acquisition of "The Aria of Huoshaoyun Chaoqu" is a good start. As long as the sewage reservoir is taken down, the rest is a matter of time.

  Clear Sky is now considering the further strengthening of the main body's physique.

  The troll bloodline has been with Luke for so long, and has fulfilled its responsibilities. Luke's current physical strength has the conditions for another upgrade.

   The first thing to consider is which stronger bloodline to use.

  The new bloodline must have the continuity of the characteristics of the troll bloodline. If you give the main body an elf bloodline, you will only get a four-faced image in the end. Give full play to the strengths of the bloodline, and fill in the shortcomings of the bloodline through strengthening in other aspects.

  It’s like planting a tree, let the trunk grow straight up, so that the tree can grow taller and bigger, with more room for branches and leaves. If the trunk grows crookedly, the more branches and leaves, the easier it is to crush itself.

   Therefore, the power system of the era game is very complicated, and it is almost difficult to find the same player character in the later stage. When Luke practiced the clear sky, he didn't know how many times he reset the character to zero and re-trained, and finally he practiced a satisfactory clear sky.

  Now Luke doesn't have the opportunity to reset to zero and retrain, so when Qingkong was studying at Oulu Academy, he had been preparing for the future improvement of the main body.

  Going from the troll bloodline to the dragon bloodline is a general direction of advancement. However, if the direct inheritance of the dragon lineage is too large, the body will definitely become a permanent dragon. With horns on its head, a tail behind it, and a body covered with scales, it looks more like a lizard than a dragon.

  Luke's phone has too many funny videos of this kind of random inheritance of blood.

   Lava golems are extraordinary creatures that live in the center of active volcanoes. With extremely strong physical strength and recovery ability, as well as good fire attribute magic attack ability, it is an extraordinary creature with strong combat effectiveness.

   Kill the Lava Golem to get a Lava Golem Heart. This thing can provide long-term, stable and sufficient heat energy for the steam engine, which is the best energy source for some precision steam engines.

   And some people will make lava cores as heat sources for room heating. Using this thing to keep warm in winter is safer than burning charcoal, and it can better demonstrate one's status and wealth.

  Clear Sky needs a special lava magic heart as the subject of the secret art to perform the lava troll lineage succession ceremony for Luke. Fortunately, this lava demon heart is in the imperial capital of the Golden Shield Empire, but unfortunately its owner is the second prince of the empire.

   No matter how awesome the Sheriff and Dark Ye are, it is impossible for them to steal that lava demon heart silently...they can't move it either.

   This requires thinking of other ways.

  Clear Sky is sorting materials and tools in the laboratory. At this time, someone knocked on the door, and Bruce Ban's voice sounded outside: "Professor Qingkong, there is a special guest visiting, and he hopes to meet you."

   "What's your name? What's its origin?" Qing Kong didn't stop what she was doing, nor did she open the door.

  Bruce Ban replied: "The other party didn't say anything, but Jared Knight drove all the visitors out of the museum, and the students and faculty were confined upstairs."

  Qing Kong stopped her hand in the air and asked, "What does he look like?"

   "It's a very dignified old man, maybe a great noble..."

   Before Bruce Ban could finish speaking, the door suddenly opened. Qing Kong came out thoughtfully, and murmured, "What is he doing here?"

  Bruce Ban asked: "Professor Clear Sky, do you know this guest?"

  Clear Sky heard a sound from the other end of the corridor, and Dai'er was hiding in the other side of the corner and looking here quietly.

   "It's not considered acquaintance yet!" Clear Sky said to Bruce Ban: "Go and tell the guests, just say that I just finished an experiment and need to go back to my room to change into decent clothes.

   Let Jenny be optimistic about the students and stay in the college activity area honestly. Don't go downstairs! Do not do dangerous things! "

   "Yes, Professor Clear Sky."

  Bruce Ban left, Qingkong returned to his room. Before the door was closed, Daier got in.

   "Scared me to death, I almost ran into Uncle Milcombe, luckily I ran fast."

  Dai'er lay on the door and looked out carefully, and when she saw no one outside, she slammed the door, looking like a frightened deer.

  Qingkong took out a set of clothes from the Oulu College magic professor from the closet, and asked Daier: "Millscomb? Royal chief knight, the leader of His Majesty's personal guard?"

   "It's him. When I saw him enter the door, I knew that the emperor was coming. Does he know that I am here and wants to arrest me?"

   "You don't need His Majesty to come in person to arrest you." Qing Kong wanted to take off her dirty clothes, but seeing Dai'er looking at her, she said, "What are you doing here?"

   Dai'er stared at Qingkong intently: "My classmates all said that you have a good figure, so I want to see how it looks."

   Qingkong's complexion turned black.

   "Get out, or I'll hand you over to Milcombe right now."

   "No, I'm leaving now."

   Seeing that she couldn’t see it, Dai’er just opened the door and ran out quickly after checking if there was no one outside.

   Qingkong swiped his hand and closed the door.

   Don't worry, added another layer of seal.

  Leaving Dale here is like dropping a mouse dropping into a pot of good soup. The originally well-behaved students are now getting more and more skinny by her.

  Dare to discuss the professor's figure behind his back, is the professor's figure for you to see?

   It’s just that Augustine came here at this time, what did he want to do?

  The first floor of the museum was empty, and visitors who came to visit were kicked out. Jared led the royal knights and stood around in a very solemn manner, keeping his eyes on the old man strolling in the middle.

  Augustin walked between the booths in casual clothes, stopping from time to time to look carefully at the cultural relics collection inside the glass cover, followed closely behind him by a tall and tall middle-aged man.

   "Millscombe, the collections here are more precious than I imagined. I haven't been here for a few years, and it has become such a rich museum."

  The chief knight of Millscombe replied in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, the last time you came to this museum, Princess Agatha was just born."

   "Oh? Has it been so many years?" Augustine couldn't help exclaiming: "How time flies! It seems that more than 20 years have passed for the things in front of us."

  “Good memories are easier to remember.”

   "Yes! That time is a good memory. I seem to have endless energy. When dealing with state affairs, I can also study ancient cultural relics, write poems, paint, sculpture...

   Agatha liked sculpture so much because of my influence.

   It's just that the child is getting older, and it's getting more and more worrying for me. Don't let me worry, even the most well-behaved Dai'er..."

  Millscombe said: "Your Majesty, Princess Dai will return safely. I am her swordsmanship teacher. She is very smart and very clever."

   "Hopefully... I need her right now."

  Millscomb said: "Your Majesty, I have also heard some rumors about the meteorite and the eldest princess. This is obviously spread deliberately by someone, please be cautious, Your Majesty."

   "Intentionally disseminated news may not necessarily be false..."

  Augustin didn't continue talking, because Qingkong just walked down from upstairs.

  The short green hair half covered the sharp elf ears, and the green eyes revealed a disregard for the equality of all things in the world. Every step pushes out an invisible pressure, and there is the sound of ice cracking under the feet.

  Millscomb stood in front of Augustine with the sword on his waistband, and said to Qingkong: "Please restrain your magic power, this is from the Empire..."

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Empire." Qing Kong saluted Emperor Augustine, and asked straightly: "Thank you for giving me the museum, I like it very much. Your visit was beyond my expectation, but the way you visited surprised me. Somewhat unhappy."

Augusta held out his hand for Millscomb to stand aside. He smiled and said, "My people are not considerate. Since it is a museum given to you, you are the owner of this place. Our people took the museum without permission." It is disrespectful to the host to drive out all the guests and block the place.

   I apologize to you. "

  At this time, Augustine had lost his edge in the court. He even apologized for the honorifics he used to Qingkong, with his chest in his arms and his head bowed slightly.

  Like a wise master who is thirsty for talents, courteous and virtuous.

  Qingkong took advantage of the situation and withdrew the magic power she released. Augustine is not in good health. If he gets frozen here, he can just run away overnight.

   "I accept your apology. Your Majesty, you didn't come here to see these collections. There is a drinking room next to it. Let's talk there."

   After walking for so long, Augustine was also tired. He followed Clear Sky to the drinking room, and glanced stealthily at Millscombe.

  Millscomb shook his head slightly, expressing that he did not see Qingkong's strength.

  Observing whether Qingkong's strength is as strong as the legend is, is also one of the purposes of Augustine's visit this time. A lot of information related to Qingkong came from Raging Waves City, boasting of Qingkong's strength beyond belief.

  But her strength...do I need to be afraid of it?

  At the first meeting, Augustine did not get an answer.

   Came to the drinking room in the corner, Qing Kong poured a cup of tea for Augustine, and then sat opposite each other.

   Augustine did not touch his teacup.

   Qingkong knew that as an emperor, he would not eat and drink casually outside, so he didn't take it seriously. Pouring tea was just a courtesy.

   "Your Majesty, what do you want to talk about?"

  Emperor Augustine smiled and said, "You must have guessed that I came here to talk about Agatha...but no!

  Elves are a very long-lived race, while humans are short-lived among the known intelligent races in the world. A person will die with regret if he still has many things to experience.

  My current age makes me often think about life and the meaning of life, but no one is qualified to give me this answer.

  You are a scholar and I hear you are on a world tour. As an elf, you should be able to tell me something about life that I can't understand. "

  Augustine's question is a very difficult question for Clear Sky to answer. After all, the combined ages of her and Luke are not as big as that of Augustine, so what qualifications do they have to answer such philosophical questions?

  But as a philosophical question, it seems to be quite easy to answer.

   "Your Majesty, you only saw that elves are a long-lived race compared to humans. But in this world, there are many races that live longer than elves.

  For example, dragons, they can calculate the time of one sleep in years; some species don't know what it is like to die.

   But take a look, where do the dragons live? Where do elves live? And where do you humans live?

  I have traveled the world, and one thing recognized by all races is that the human race is opening a new era after the ancient civilization passed away. I have also been looking for the answer to a question, why can the human race live such a short life so brilliantly?

  Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to answer your question. Because the answer to the question lies in you, in the human race who created the new world. "

   Qingkong's answer silenced Augustine.

   Even Millscomb, who was standing aside, was lost in thought.
