Chapter 323 The Key to Life (please vote for me!)
The current time is probably around 7:30 in the morning.
Most of the people in the circus had already gotten up. After washing up, they went down to the dining room of the villa in the main building and began to enjoy breakfast cooked by Floy himself.
Floy usually prepares in advance and then goes upstairs to rest by himself.
Although the physiques of extraordinary people are strong, especially those who have been promoted to the intermediate level and have completed the extraordinary transformation, it does not matter even if they do not sleep for a week, but as a woman, Floy inevitably takes care of her skin. If it is not necessary, she I still go back to bed on time before the sun rises every day.
As her relationship with the Sun-Back Potted Plant grows closer, her hatred of the sun grows.
The routine of "she won't sleep until the moon doesn't sleep" has been truly realized.
Chen Lun left the warehouse with the twelve newly made black crystal craftsman puppets, and then gave them instructions to disperse to the winery on their own to participate in patrol and protection work.
Immediately, he returned to the villa alone.
"Mr. Jack."
"Leader."
After everyone in the circus saw Chen Lun, they stopped their knives, forks and spoons and saluted respectfully.
"Did you come back from outside without rest all night?"
Noah asked curiously.
"Well, I made some more black crystal craftsmen. I just finished my work."
Chen Lun replied with a smile.
He took off his leather gloves and black hat and handed them to Connie, who tacitly hung them on the coat rack in the corner.
After sitting down at the main seat, Chen Lun did not start the breakfast directly, but turned his head and looked at Alex and Antonio on one side. The former was a little listless, mechanically stirring the meat soup with a spoon, while the latter was sitting on a large reinforced metal chair like a human being, happily humming a song. In front of it was a plate of Freud's special fine forage. .
At first glance, you can probably tell that it contains ingredients such as oat grass, radish cubes, corn, bran, and calamus.
"Mr. Jack, it's great here. Antonio loves it here!"
Antonio, the cow, imitated the way everyone else ate, holding a spoon between his front hooves and clumsily putting food into his mouth, and said happily.
"The food made for me by Miss Du...F...Froy is very delicious!"
It spat out human words in a low voice.
"Just like it, Antonio."
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
He asked Alex again with concern:
"How have you been these two days, Mr. Poet?"
"It sucks!"
Alex complained.
"Okay! I admit it!"
He dropped the spoon and folded his elbows with a proud look on his face.
"Jack, your manor is indeed okay. The garden, big bed, delicious food, and even the chubby white cat and silly hedgehog all make me think this is a good home... But you forgot the most important point! ”
Alex looked directly at Chen Lun and said righteously:
"That is freedom! A bard without freedom cannot write great poems, just like a canary in a cage. Even if it is still amazing, it can no longer sing that beautiful song. …”
"Unless you tell me the secret I want to know, I won't let you go."
Chen Lun smiled and said calmly.
"Secret? What secret? I have no secrets!"
Alex shouted.
Everyone at the dinner table looked at him, but he was not afraid and stared back one by one.
Chen Lun shrugged, ignored Alex, and started eating by himself.
Alex looked extremely angry when he saw this, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he had no choice but to sigh, sit down, and then gnawed on the bread as if to vent his anger, while cursing Jack in his heart.
Chen Lun glanced at him silently and secretly used "Mind Sharing".
Alex is just an ordinary person and does not possess extraordinary power. Faced with Chen Lun's thought stealing, he was not even aware of it.
After a few breaths.
Chen Lun frowned slightly without any trace.
‘It’s so abnormal that I don’t have any memory related to the mystery...’
He couldn't find any valuable information from Alex's mind. This guy's mind was full of adventure stories and boastful words about himself, and the rest were just curses towards Jack.
There seemed to be nothing unusual, but this attracted Chen Lun's attention even more.
Chen Lun had a hunch that Alex was definitely not simple, and he probably had some big secret hidden in him.
‘Let’s observe for a while longer. ’
He thought so.

After breakfast.
Chen Lun walked to the back garden of the winery, sat on the simple swing built by Golov, and took out the ancient book found from the leader of the Chrysalis of the End.
This is the third opportunity hidden in Peacock City, and it is also the last opportunity known to us.
At this point, Chen Lun's main purpose of coming to Peacock City has been achieved.
He gently opened the ancient book titled "An Overview of Biological Structure and Other Mythical Creatures" and gradually became immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
Although the title of the book is not obvious, it is actually a mythological book of the natural faction. It is filled with descriptions and records of various components and structures of creatures, and there is even a small amount of information related to mythical creatures.
The content of this book is so detailed that even in the real society where Chen Lun lived in his previous life, such a book could not be found in an era of advanced science and technology... It can be seen that in the study of living things, the mysterious field of this world has a comprehensive understanding. Knowledge and unique understanding.
Even better in some aspects.
For example, the structure of living things and its connection with mysticism.
One of the chapters records the symbolic meaning of living things, indicating that everything has a mysterious influence and has a deep symbolic meaning, which can be compared to the symbols and languages of ancient times.
Even the ten most important and core paths to God in the mysterious realm cannot be avoided. They each have corresponding symbols. For example, the symbol of the moon is a crow, the symbol of flesh and blood is a butterfly, the symbol of the deep sea is an octopus, etc.
And every creature that symbolizes a high-level existence has a close connection with its body structure. Heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, teeth, nails, wings and scales... each part has its own special function and meaning. If you can uncover the secrets, you can even create a simple but very attractive design based on the body tissue of the symbol alone. The ritual attracts the attention of high-ranking beings.
This method is called "symbolic imprinting" in the book.
It is a ritual favored by high-ranking beings. The specific reason is not yet known.
Time passed quietly, and Chen Lun was very devoted to reading ancient books.
The two paths of nature and magic are adjacent to destiny, and related knowledge has a strong inspiring effect on him. This can be seen from past experiences.
When the sun rose above his head, Chen Lun finally received the prompt box that popped up on the panel——
["Overview of Biological Structure and Other Mythical Creatures" (Progress 51%)]
[You have gained 2 skill points and 15,000 experience points! 】
[Through reading carefully, you will have some experience and understand the skill "Key to Life"! 】
【Key of Life LV1】
Skill description: After a long period of research, you have been strongly inspired by the profound knowledge of natural pathways, combining life with destiny, bursting out a bright fire of inspiration. You can't wait to try to apply this knowledge to [Magician's] tricks "Damage Transfer" and "Recovery", and understand this brand-new ability.
Skill effects: 1. You can transfer your own injuries to any part, even to others, and vice versa. You can also control the injuries of others. (Note: If you use it on others, you need to go through four judgments of intelligence, endurance, will and mysterious weight, and you must pass them all!)
Two, you can restore living creatures for a short period of time. (Note: Living creatures need to retain spirituality, including souls and characteristics! They need to pass four-fold judgments of intelligence, will, insight and mysterious weight, and they must all pass!)
Third, you have gained a huge amount of life knowledge, which is firmly entrenched in your mind. You have been able to perfectly control your body, but the upper limit of your sanity is permanently reduced by 20 points.
‘This skill…? ! ’
Chen Lun's eyes widened and he was very surprised.
‘Freely convert damage, briefly restore living creatures, perfectly control the body...it is worthy of the name Key of Life! Although each effect has great limitations and even reduces the upper limit of sanity by 20 points, there is no denying that it is a powerful magical skill! ’
Judging from his current panel attributes, many Sequence 6 extraordinary beings are not as good as him. However, there is another important indicator for determining the "Key of Life", which is the mysterious weight. This thing is a bit mysterious, but in short, it is A similar sequence of symbols of power and position.
The lower position cannot offend the higher position, and the same is true for the extraordinary confrontation between the two.
Extraordinary powers with low weight will be offset or even invalidated by existence with high weight.
‘My original upper limit of sanity was 70 points, but now it’s 50 points…’
Chen Lun pondered.
Sanity value, no, to be precise, it is the upper limit of sanity value. It is an extremely important attribute for extraordinary people, because it represents the mysterious tolerance of extraordinary people and the durability of spell casting to a certain extent.
Although Chen Lun is different from ordinary extraordinary beings in that he has the rational reserve of the Maggie Statue, it is not a bad thing to have more "capacity" of his own.
‘Let’s add some first, and then see if the skills are fully upgraded. ’
he thought.
The maximum level of this skill is LV5, and each level requires 2 skill points. Chen Lun invested 8 skill points to upgrade the "Key of Life" to the full level.
After it is fully upgraded, the effect of the "Key of Life" has been enhanced, and the reduction in the upper limit of sanity has also been weakened.
‘It’s a good thing that the upper limit of sanity is only reduced by 10 points...’
Chen Lun was very happy.
He did not stop there, but continued to read the mythical book, once again gaining 2 skill points and 15,000 experience points.
The points in reserve are now 4 skill points and 30 attribute points.
The experience value is 230,000.
