Chapter 494 The Time of Pearl
"Huh?"
Chen Lun was slightly startled.
Frederic rolled her eyes, as if she saw that he didn't know what was going on, and waved.
"Let's talk about it first."
"Excuse me, Ms. Frederic."
Chen Lun smiled politely, took off his hat and saluted Him.
As the two of them climbed up the spiraling stone stairs, Ms. Fredette, who was walking in front, said somewhat depressedly:
"After the messenger came back last night, he seemed extremely excited and quite abnormal... I checked it and found some strange changes in its body. Several nodes on the inscription line were burned, and the energy reserve area was filled with a large number of high-energy fluctuations. If the two emergency braking circles I originally designed had not taken effect, it would have exploded like a bomb."
Chen Lun roughly understood what the other party meant.
I couldn't help but feel a little bit in my heart, wondering if it was really my two dragon sharp stones that were directly used by Ms. Frederic's messenger, right?
What if I have to pay for it?
This archmage is quite "short of money" and there is no way he will give away the hard-earned money he has worked so hard to earn from players!
Just when Chen Lun was still thinking about how much money to pay that would not hurt his feelings and satisfy Ms. Frederic, the other party stopped, turned around and said with a half-smile:
"Do you still have the energy crystals you gave the messenger last night? Show me."
"Ahem, there's one last one left."
Chen Lun opened his mouth and told lies with his eyes open. He quickly picked the smallest piece from the blood poem ring and handed it to Ms. Frederic.
The latter took it and looked at it, and immediately raised his eyebrows.
"It's interesting... Let's go to the attic first, and I'll study it later."
As he spoke, he turned his body back and kept playing with the finger-sized black crystal in his hand. He clicked his tongue in wonder and seemed very interested.
When Chen Lun saw this, he had an idea in his mind.
If Ms. Fredrick likes Longli Stone very much, it would be appropriate to use it as compensation... After all, there are many more in the mines under the haze plains of Wonderland. The group of dead souls have been mining for him day and night, and they have accumulated it long ago. There are a lot of them, and I can’t even use them all.
Looking at it this way, it seems that he is quite wealthy, sitting on an entire plain of mineral veins, and there are countless "working souls" working for him.
The point is, you don’t have to pay yourself a salary at all.
Thinking about it this way, a certain mine boss felt relieved.
The two of them went up to the attic one after another. Chen Lun saw a familiar thin back at a glance, sitting on the floor in front of the bookshelf in the corner, immersed in reading something.
Hearing the footsteps, Carmen was not affected and was still immersed in the ocean of knowledge, unable to extricate herself. It wasn't until Ms. Frederic stomped her feet and made a crisp sound that he suddenly became aware of it.
"Ah...Teacher, I'm sorry, I really don't want to stop reading your notes for a moment. I always indulge in them unconsciously and feel my own ignorance and insignificance."
The white-haired old man said with an apologetic look.
Frederic pouted, indicating that there were still guests standing beside him.
So Carmen quickly put down the book in her hand and performed an ancient ritual towards Chen Lun. He took a step back with his left foot, put his left hand on his right shoulder, and held his pointed hat in front of his chest with his right arm.
"Once again, I would like to express my life-saving grace to you, Your Majesty Jack Spate. If you hadn't come to rescue me, I would have been lost forever in the paintings of the god of murals, and I would never see my teacher again!"
"You have already thanked me, Master Carmen."
Chen Lun smiled and waved his hand.
But he secretly thought to himself that he was a licking dog. Despite his pretentious appearance, he was not so gentlemanly and elegant when they first met.
Fred Cui also smiled at this moment:
"Okay Carmen, keep studying. You haven't continued your studies for many years. Don't think that you can slack off after being promoted to [Ancient Scholar]. There are still mysteries in magic paths that you can't imagine. Without enough knowledge accumulation, even the final You don’t even understand the basic principles.”
"Yes, teacher, I dare not forget your teachings."
Carmen nodded in agreement, immediately picked up the book again, walked to the corner and started reading.
At this time, Fred Cui also turned his head to look, and stretched out his hand to signal Chen Lun to sit down.
Chen Lun nodded politely and sat down on a wooden chair with a sense of age while holding his silver cane. Frederic pulled out a large, dusty box from a corner filled with debris and placed it in front of him, smiling slightly.
"I haven't had time to thank you in person, Jack. You risked your life to save my student. It's natural that I should also express my gratitude to you... These are some collections I collected when I was young. You can Take your pick.”
Chen Lun's eyes lit up. He looked at the large iron-clad wooden box in front of him and couldn't help but feel a sense of expectation in his heart.
This is the collection of a high-level magician!
Even after he was promoted, he still felt that Ms. Frederic was unfathomable. This feeling was very similar to when he faced Thelma, the Servant Chief of the Moon Church, and Mrs. Elk, the Pope of the Nature Sect. This shows that the opponent's strength exceeds If you lose yourself, at least you will start at Sequence Three.
His collection must not be simple...
Chen Lun took a deep breath and slowly opened the lid of the box under Frederic's smiling gaze.
Bang.
The next second, Chen Lun couldn't help but be stunned.
The box did not contain the glittering gold, various high-end monsters or mythical items that I had imagined, but instead some strange small objects, such as strange weeds that had been specimens, some kind of flower buds that had not yet bloomed, colorful stones and even A potion containing misshapen insects.
"This is...?"
Chen Lun pretended to be curious and asked Ms. Frederic.
"Don't underestimate these things. They are all mythical materials, and they are extremely rare. Some of them have even become extinct..."
Ms. Frederic explained softly.
"I see, your collection is really precious."
Chen Lun complimented, then carefully picked up the small objects and began to pick up clues. From time to time, prompts would pop up on the panel to give him a detailed introduction to the things at hand.
'Indeed, as Ms. Fredrick said, these objects are quite precious mythical materials. If they are used to make medicine or forge, they should be able to produce high-quality finished products... But with the current level of Maggie and Floy, I'm afraid it's difficult to control this level of material. It's possible to use it to make wine yourself, but...'
Chen Lun suddenly touched a book-sized slate with extremely irregular edges at the bottom of the box. He was startled at first, and then he felt happy.
This is the remnant of a monument of destiny!
Seeing that Ms. Fredrick had no objection, he picked it up by himself, took out the parts he had collected, and pieced them together.
This time, the Monument of Destiny had revealed two-thirds of its original appearance before his eyes. It was roughly a stone tablet half a meter long, twenty centimeters wide, and one finger thick, with some words engraved on it in the Yanita language.
Chen Lun took a closer look, and after interpretation, part of the content that was missing before came into view——
"...In the 15,920th year of the Fourth Era, when I recalled the past, I was deeply puzzled, so I traveled through the curtain of history, returned to the first level of history, and once again witnessed the collapse of the Yanita civilization three thousand years ago. The big moment... It turns out that the end of everything was doomed long before it started. The cause behind the chaos caused by the death god Bancroft, which led to the split of the Starry Sky God Religion, was actually guided by the Lord of Destiny, Duke Huan, who is the one who oversees everything. , the one who fueled the flames.”
"...I have thought hard and couldn't understand the intention of Duke Huan, but when the magnificent scene came into view again, I couldn't forget it... On the night when the contemporary king of Yanita died in battle, the celestial phenomena were strange, and the sun, moon and stars converged. In the same hall, it is like a bright pearl standing above the heads of mankind, then falling apart and never coming together again - I call it the 'Pearl's Time'!"
"...Perhaps Huan Zhengyi will quietly watch all developments and scatter this 'pearl' with his own hands. The evolution of history will prove that this is the right path, which further strengthens my belief in carving a monument for it—— The writer of history, the one who inscribes time, and the witness of great achievements, Sid Mitchell ”
Chen Lun was deeply shocked by the words recorded in the monument.
It turns out that the mastermind behind the end of the Yanita Kingdom and the initial split of human civilization into three major families was not the Bone Burial Old Man, but the even more deeply hidden Huan Gong!
Even the God of Death has become his pawn. What kind of terrifying existence is the Lord of Destiny? !
Chen Lun took a deep breath.
‘The Time of the Pearl…is it a symbol of a major historical moment when the Starry Sky God Religion split into the Sun, Moon and Stars? ’
At this time, Ms. Fredette, who had been standing nearby, suddenly said:
"I didn't expect that you have almost completed the monument of destiny... Although it does not contain any extraordinary power, it has a very high collection value. After all, it is a masterpiece carved by 'Sid Mitchell' himself."< br>
He smiled slowly.
"He is the only earth angel known to the world so far, and the former god of the clay man, 'Xike'... However, after the fifth era, he almost never showed up again and disappeared like dusty history. In the long river of time.”
Chen Lun looked at the incomplete stone tablet in his hand, but thought of the hometown of Saint Ai in Privet City in Linbang. The strange high-ranking person who took away the little white snake he left behind may be this "visitor" Sid Mitchell. !
But he did not tell this matter, but was about to ask Ms. Frederic for the fragment of the stone tablet.
"If you like it, then I'll give it to you. It won't do any good if I keep it anyway... You can get some of the rest, you're welcome."
Ms. Frederic said nonchalantly.
Chen Lun thanked him and immediately continued to rummage in the "treasure box", but in the end he regretfully discovered that except for the remnants of the Monument of Destiny, the rest were all various mythological materials.
He suddenly stopped, raised his head and asked:
"Ms. Frederic, well, it may be a bit abrupt to say this, but can I ask you for some knowledge about magic...I don't need any of these materials."
Ms. Frederic looked a little surprised. She looked back at the student Carmen, then thought for a moment, nodded and agreed.
"Okay, in that case, you can stay here for a week... I know that you have just been promoted to a high position, and you must be a little confused about your abilities. Magic is adjacent to destiny. The knowledge here should be more or less able to give you Some inspiration.”
"That's exactly what I thought, Ms. Frederic, thank you very much."
Chen Lun stood up and quickly thanked him.
Having face-to-face guidance from this knowledgeable mage made him more confident in developing his abilities!
"By the way, Ms. Frederic, I wonder if you still remember the former crown prince of the Sun Royal Family?"
Chen Lun remembered his doubts and took the opportunity to ask the other party.
"Of course I remember. I personally witnessed the birth of the Trisur Empire..."
Ms. Frederic smiled.
But soon, the smile on His face gradually disappeared and became silent and solemn.
The archmage turned around without saying a word, strode to the bookshelf area, rummaged through Carmen's surprised eyes, and finally pulled out a dusty tome from an inconspicuous place.
Boom!
He smashed the thick hard-cover book on the table and accurately turned to a page in the middle. Ms. Fredette's face suddenly changed slightly.
"This is impossible!" (End of Chapter)
