Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich Chapter 70

Chapter 70: The Experintal Log of the Crazy Lich

Translator: StarveCleric Editor: StarveCleric

Due to the disappearance of Lich Roland, the Dark Elves no longer have to worry about their ho getting destroyed again. Thus, they clenched their teeth and after withdrawing the last of their savings, rebuilt their ho for the 3rd ti.

With many free labor (Such as the Leftover (Sheng) Knights, the Liver (Sheng) Knights and the Holy (Sheng) Knights) helping them, the Town Security headquarters was quickly rebuilt.

Designed by the Gray Dwarves Architects, the new Town Security headquarters is earthquake-proof, explosion-proof, fireproof, flood-proof and Roland-proof. As for how did I know all these, it is all written clearly on the blueprints, the few bright red words could be seen clearly even from more than a hundred ters away.

“I can understand what the first 4 is about, but what does being Roland-proof ans?”

Un, I made use of the right that only children possess, the right to be inquisitive. However, the event that happens next renders Diana’s answer pointless.

“Roland!! Who ntioned that na!” The mont the na popped out of my mouth, nurous female knights seem to jump out of nowhere. Fully clothed in their armor, they hold sharp swords in their hands. Their eyes are filled with blood veins and their murderous aura makes it seem like they are ready to slaughter soone.

“That ‘Roland-proof’ refers to an Anti-Undead Barrier that we hired a master to lay down in order to deal with a certain soone. Right, little Rolo, don’t say your uncle’s na here.” I nodded my head with an intentional look that spells of confusion while secretly wiping away the cold sweat on my palms.

“Even after so long... Is their grudge that deep? I was the one who approved of the subsidies at the High Court, you know, otherwise, it is impossible for you all to rebuild your headquarters so quickly! You heartless bunch of Elves.”

I peeked at those crimson red eyes while mumbling curses directed at these ‘aunties’ under my breath. I know that it is impossible for to be exposed but I still instinctively tightened the cloak around .

“Wakaka, I didn’t expect your reputation to be so horrid. As expected of my disciple.” Alright, I was even mocked by the old demonic granny in my mantle.

However, that Diana seems to have recalled sothing and imdiately adds on.

“Don’t say the na when you are outside too, absolutely not! Your uncle... That, he has quite a bad reputation in the city. I am not really prejudiced against him but there are so words, as an elder, that isn’t suitable for to say. Anyway, little Rolo, for your own safety, you mustn’t tell anyone that you are Roland’s nephew.”

Alright, looking at this red-faced Moon Knight who seems to be embarrassed about speaking badly about others, that black cat is already rolling around the floor laughing.

“Little Brother Roland, what exactly did you do? Why are you faring so badly on your territory that even the female knight feels ashad to talk about you?”

“Shut up, my magic pet. Otherwise, I will make you learn how to talk like a squirrel and do 360-degree flips on the spot for 2 and a half weeks until you puke!”

After hearing my words, despite boiling with anger, Harloys knows that I will carry out my threat. If I say that I will make her do flips from 2 and a half weeks, there is no way I will make her turn around for 3 weeks. Harloys, who is always good at reading situations and adapting to them, imdiately shuts up obediently.

“Alright, Little Rolo, hurry and go eat.”

After hearing these words, my excitent starts to well up. I have been eting with misfortune for the entire day. Looks like my luck is finally turning around. I don’t even have a single bronze coin on my entire body, so it is a good opportunity for to get so food.

On the road to the canteen, looking at this hesitating female knight, many thoughts ran through my mind.

There are many things that I have to do, but the one with the topmost priority is to get rid of this young form!

With my current stature, even the hilt of the sword is larger than my hand. I can’t even grab a sword stably, so how in the world am I going to fight. Furthermore, the small figure ans that my steps would be small and with my limbs short, I would face difficulty in exerting my full strength and coupled with many other limitations, it would be hard for to perform.

Furthermore, I would co into contact like the top brasses of the nobles in the Human World in the future. Reality isn’t like a Knight Novel. Outer appearance may not determine everything, but being young, it would be difficult for to inspire trust in others. All of my plans would go down the drain like that.

“If I were to wait to grow naturally, who knows how long it would take for this body to mature. I must first look for a way to hide this form. Right, the Dragon Tribe is a kind of tribe where the older they are, the stronger they are. Going by her age, Little Red isn’t supposed to be old enough to be promoted to an Ancient Dragon. Perhaps, there might be so kind of secret arts involved. I will go and question her later.”

After making up my mind, I start to enjoy the lunch that I have been waiting a long ti for. The other side of the table is full of ‘aunties’ who keeps staring secretly at .

Not just the tables, even the doorway is filled with people.

At the corner, Momo is tied up by a chain and keeps on howling non-stop.

“Momo isn’t a pedophile, it is just that the person I like just happens to be a child. You bunch who haven’t touched a man for several decades, you bunch of thirsty #@@￥@, touch your heart and ask yourself if you all really do not wish to dye that innocent smile with your own color. He already has a master and that is , Momo. I will not let any of you snatch him away from !”

Fine, even her colleagues can’t stand her salivating and pleading look that they even stuffed up her mouth.

On the corner, even with her mouth stuffed and her neck fastened to a collar, Momo is still trying her best to pounce over like a frenzied wild dog. Her colleagues were trying her best to push her down while I pretend not to hear or see anything at all.

Looking at how I am eating heartily, Diana hesitates for a mont before speaking.

“I’m afraid that you ca a step too late. Your uncle won’t be coming back. Why don’t you live with us temporarily?”

Hearing this, before I could even react, cheers that almost flipped the roof filled the entire canteen.

“Big Sister, you are finally enlightened! I thought that you aren’t normal.”

“Big Sister, well done. You can enjoy him first, just rember to leave a small part to .”

“That’s right. Even if we are unable to devour him, it is good to have him stay as an eye-candy. However, Big Sister, you won’t truly be thinking of keeping him to yourself?”

“Hmph, I am not a pedophile, so I am not really interested. However, after 30 years or so, lend him to for a while, I probably won’t reject him. Anyway, humans grow very quickly and you should be sick of him by 30 years.”

“Yeah, you aren’t a pedophile, you are into geezers.”

Should I say as expected of the open Dark Elves? The bluntness of their words really makes one exclaim in shock. At the sa ti, as the Dark Elves rejoiced, I trembled from the depths of my heart. I started to wonder if it was worth entering a lion’s den just for a al.

After hearing the cheering of her comrades, Diana stuns for a mont before smiling bitterly.

She couldn’t explain what she was really feeling. Was it a coincidence for her to know that Roland is Lord Wumianzhe and now that Lord Wumianzhe has Ascended, is this child fated to never be able to find his own uncle?

Furthermore, even if it is Sulfur Mountain City we are talking about, it is still part of the dangerous Underground World. If he were to run into so slave peddler or perverts... The thing which Sulfur Mountain City doesn’t lack is the latter. At the very least, the ‘wild beast’ which is bound by tal chains is definitely one.

“Consider it. Seeing from your white and smooth skin, you don’t look like a kid from the Underground World. This is a totally different place from the Surface, you should really think deeply about how you are going to survive here.”

“Thank you, Big Sister. But Uncle Roland told that if I was unable to find him, I am to look for Lord Einz zus.”

Looks like I can only thicken my skin to look for Little Red. Scanning my surroundings, these Elves seem to be concealing sothing suspicious in their mouths. Their eyes are glowing green. No matter how I look at it, they look like a pack of hungry wolves. Staying here is simply too dangerous.

However, due to a certain reason, I have to return back to my old ho for a short period of ti. Perhaps, I might have to look for a reliable ‘guardian’ for .

Hearing the great na of the new Dragon Empress, Diana stuns for a mont before recalling that the child in front of her is the nephew of Wumianzhe, so there is a high possibility that he would be related to Lord Einz zus. Coming to a realization, she nods her head.

“Alright, then I will send you over after you are done eating.”

Ignoring the sighs around , I continued eating. Once I was done, Diana passes over a form to .

“Looking at how you are, you should be able to write. Fill in your basic particulars so that I can make you a temporary pass for ease of movent within the city.”

The eyes of the predators around made cold sweat trickle down my back. I had the intention to flee long ago and so, swoosh swoosh swoosh, I finished filling up in an instant and throwing the form, I left imdiately.

Gossip is almost a trait that won are born with. The mont Diana, their Captain, leaves, the group of female Knights imdiately rush up to vie for the form. However, what was mysterious was that despite being Elves, they weren’t able to comprehend the words on the form.

Then, only after soone exclaid it did they realize that the little boy had actually been communicating with them using their mother tongue, the Dark Elf Language.

Afterward, under the intense study of a few scholars simultaneously, they realized that the form which had words no one could comprehend was actually a combination of more than a dozen language scrambled together. Despite being incredibly ssy, there wasn’t a single mistake in it.

“The first word is in Dragon Language while the phrase at the back is written in Devil Language. The middle part is jotted down using the Ancient Elf Language. Yet, they are put together using the dialect of the Leopardians of the Far South. If this isn’t a Great Saint well-versed in languages showing off his linguistic abilities, then it must an that the one writing it has gone mad. Language is used as a dium for thoughts and all creatures use their mother tongue to think. If these words are the derived from his thought process, then there is a good chance that he is already completely mad.”

———–

Despite becoming the noble Dragon Empress, Ein zus’s life didn’t change at all compared to the past. She still sleeps lazily in her den every day. Eat so food, exchange so blows, other than the quality of her opponents getting higher and higher, there isn’t really much difference in her lifestyle.

When she was still sleeping in her den, she heard from the Dracon Tributes that serves her that there is a fellow nad Rolo who seeks her presence. Overjoyed, she imdiately rushes over to the doorway to welco him. However, upon seeing him, she stuns for a mont before...

“Puuu! Haha, to think that you would have such a day too, Roland! Co, call auntie!”

A certain Dragon starts rolling around the floor laughing without any hesitation. Her laughter reverberating in the entire den was so hateful that it makes one grind his teeth. Angry, I sent a kick towards her. However, not ntioning that she totally disregarded it, she laughed even louder.

“I can’t take it anymore! You even nad yourself Rolo! Big Brother Rolo, co, praise the Holy Light and justice and continue leading us on our adventures.”

Alright, since I am unable to defeat her, I can only wait for her to finish laughing. That fellow actually continued laughing for 10 minutes straight that tears were flowing down her eyes. The mont I ntioned my demands, she imdiately shakes her head.

“A secret thod to hasten growth? There is indeed such thod, but if you do not wish to be reduced to a state of being unable to even rember your own na, it is best that you do not use it.”

It seems that the Dragon Tribe used this thod to hasten the incubation of the Dragon Eggs in order to create fodder. In just a short 3 weeks, a Dragon Egg is able to turn into a Young Dragon. However, due to the rapid growth, the Dragon’s brain will suffer fatal damage, turning it into a mindless fodder.

“You humans really don’t respect life. Every single phase of life has its own aning. By playing around, toddlers train the coordination of their limbs and their ability to move around. Children use gas to cultivate their thinking and their cooperation. They imitate their elders and inherit their knowledge and skills. Teenagers start to try to gather teams in order to face the cruel nature. The middle-aged, having their stamina deteriorated, learn to shoulder the responsibility of propping up a family while the old, despite turning frail, gains wisdom.”

“Every age group has a way of living that is most suitable to for their survival. This is a gift from nature. Those who just look at the future don’t have a present. Without a present, how can one have a future?”

Hearing these whole bunch of words, I was stunned. This doesn’t seem like words Little Red would say.

“Why are you looking at like this? No matter what, I am a giant Dragon that is old enough to be your great grandmother. It isn’t that big of a deal for to say sothing that has a philosophical.”

“Molly said that?”

“Of course not, there’s no way she would know all these. It is my dad.”

Alright, so it is that unlucky Dragon King that I have heard so much about. However, looking at the gleeful look on Little Red’s face, is this what it ans for soone to be cursed of being unable to remain cool for more than 3 seconds?

However, what she said makes sense. I couldn’t help but recall the journey that Fool-dam went through. He slowly trained his body and learned bit by bit from the experience he underwent. Gradually, as his physical body grew powerful and his powers started to mature. With his basics in place, it ford the foundation for him to walk even further.

“Taking the long-term into account, I recomnd that you take it slowly. Train yourself gradually so as to uncover your own potential. No matter what, this is better than pulling on the seedling in a hope that it would grow taller.”

“However, this can’t do as well. I can’t even grasp a sword like that. I would require a body that is able to fight at the minimum.”

“If you only want the outer appearance of a grown man, you have looked for the wrong person. You should have looked for Margaret. Space and Ti is her specialty. Changing one’s physique without affecting one’s growth should be a simple matter for her.” While speaking, Little Red reverted back to her human form.

“Margaret? Who? Oh, that Saint who likes to dress in blue? Can you introduce her to ?”

Nodding my head, I reckon that my guess should be spot-on. However, sohow, after my words sound out, Little Red’s face turned white in an instant, showing an awful look.

“What are you joking about! You... You forgot about her first once again. Forget it, there’s no use getting angry with you. Co with .”

Alright, looks like I won’t be able to avoid Adam this ti. Under Little Red’s lead, charging through everything else, it didn’t take long before we arrive at the City Lord Residence.

“Hahahaha, so cute. Little Brother Roland, it gives such satisfaction to see that you would actually have such a day!!”

Alright, I knew that this would happen from the start. The fellow who is rolling around and laughing just like Little Red previously is my mortal enemy which I find myself at a loss for words to describe.

“Uncle Bones is so cute!”

Annie’s dazed gaze looks a little dangerous. However, seeing from how she didn’t directly pounce at , she is much better than the female Elves.

The Saint dressed in blue also smiles faintly at .

“A Ti-Changing Ring, that’s simple. Co and retrieve it in a week.”

“I am really thankful to you. To ask you for a favor despite eting for the first ti, I am really deeply apologetic. I will rember this debt and repay you in the future.”

An incomprehensible situation happened. Even I knew that it is only right to thank soone after seeking them for their help, but why is it that the mont those words left my mouth, the atmosphere which was still warm a second ago chills the next mont.

“Cough, un, you haven’t gone back to your dwelling huh.”

“Un, I will be heading back later. This ti, my losses seem to be more severe. I’m afraid I would have to spend at least 3 months holed up in there. Right, did you all collect the Roland Sacred Sword’s fragnted pieces? I think that I should be able to reforge it.”

Yes, when I asked the System to compensate for my current state, the System threw the additional right to use my Fate Point to create a weapon that is suited for . Since I am able to make God Equipnt, the first one that I thought of is the treasured sword that serves as my family heirloom.

“Cough, of course. Give a mont, I will go take fetch them.”

When Adam who tried to fix the situation left, the entire room turned bizarrely silent. Even when Adam brought back a bag of fragnted pieces, no one said anything.

In the room of the not very large City Lord Residence, a strange atmosphere starts to arise, causing everyone to fall silent. Naturally, under the circumstance where no one was willing to say anything, this reunion ended abruptly. After bidding my farewell, the mont I walked out of the room, I heard sobbing sounds at my back.

Now, I know that it must be sothing that I have done wrong. Thus, I hastened my footsteps to return to my dwelling quickly so that I could find out exactly what I did wrong.

“Looks like I must have said sothing I shouldn’t have. Sigh, what exactly did I forget along with that 1 point of Intelligence.”

Intelligence is the basis for one to use magic. At the sa ti, it also represents a human’s rational thinking and mory. It is a part of the soul, but it is also influenced by the physical body.

I rember that back when I was still a Lich, my Intelligence was 30. Reducing the 2 points that is additionally given by the Lich’s Body, my basic Intelligence should have been 28. But, at this mont, it is only 27. Obviously, I suffered so kind of loss when I died.

How could it be possible for one to not pay any price for death? The concept of death itself is the dissipation of one’s soul. The water of River Styx is a lethal weapon that steals away mory. However, I didn’t fear it at all.

“It isn’t the first ti anyway. I won’t die just by forgetting sothing. Anyway, I don’t even know what I have forgotten, so I wouldn’t feel regretful or upset over it, so it is really nothing.”

After stepping into my old dwelling, the extinguished lamps light up one after another and the entire house cos to life.

However, I didn’t stop at just the residential area. My goal from the very start was the underground chamber under my dwelling. That is also the reason why I had to return to Sulfur Mountain City.

The passageway was reminiscent of towers in the Middle Age, not even a glimr of light could be seen and the only thing that reverberates is the sound of footsteps.

The mont I stepped into the bottom-most floor of the underground chamber, the entire underground library lights up. Under the effects of Mystical Arts, countless books flew around the room just like birds who have just obtained life.

“No mistake in soul detection. Welco back, Master. I am this Lab and Library’s man-made Tower Spirit 007. I hope that you didn’t forget about this ti. Then, following the tasks that you entrusted before your departure, the education sequence will be triggered. This ti, where do you intend to start reading from? My personal suggestion is to start from Language, then Math, Physics and Chemistry. After filling on all of the basics then should you start studying about actual battles.”

Glancing around, this is really a sea of books. Thousands of shelves stood there silently and under the effects of Spatial Magic, this is just a corner of the gigantic glacier.

On the shelves, there are labels such as Physics and Chemistry. There are also shelves which are labeled as Army Stratagems, The Secret of Gods and Magic Arts. But what that was labeled on the largest portion of the shelves are logs, experintal logs that belong to .

If death was that easy to deal with, then there would be no reason for everyone to fear death. Even if I am lucky enough to not enter reincarnation making use of the System and the special protection that being a Transcender grants to my soul, I am still tortured by the missing pieces in my mory and knowledge after reviving. Furthermore, gauging by how my basic stats actually dropped, this is my greatest loss by far.

“The damage is quite heavy this ti. It looks like I have died too many tis that even the material of my soul is starting to crack. However, it matters not. The Intelligence point that I have lost can be regained and the knowledge that I have forgotten can be learned once again. As for the mories I lost... At least I am able to find back a portion of them from my logs.”

Yes, this is my library and my lab, as well as the treasure vault of my mory and knowledge. I know that my goals are hard to realize, so death cannot be avoided and the mory loss that I face during death will occur ti and ti again. However, as long as I jot down everything I learned and learn from it again, read it once more, I should be able to rember most of the things I lost.

“Tower Spirit 007, start from my experintal logs. Un, let’s start from the logs of my previous life. The tag labeled on it should be Crazy Lich. Also, look for the phrase Margaret. I want to first understand what was it that happened just now.

I have cultivated a habit of writing diaries for a few centuries now. I will record everything in it; when I go outdoors, brush my teeth, close the lights and sleep; the daily newspaper that I buy and sches and plans for wars; from boring cases I face during trials to fixing the legislation. No matter whether it is an important matter or a small affair, I would record all of it down on my logs.

Perhaps, I might lose my mory after death. But with these countless shelves and diaries as my substitute mory vault, as long as nothing happens to it, I am able to start afresh no matter how many tis it takes.

“1,2,3...5,7,8,9, Seems still okay, I only forgot 2 of the basic numbers so filling in the gaps shouldn’t be that difficult.”

The reason why I was counting while floating on the River Styx is not really because I was that bored but rather, I was trying my best to find out how much I have forgotten as well as to try to jog my mory.

mories are often interlinked. A human’s knowledge is often intertwined together like a tree. If Language is the basis of all Sociology disciplines, then Math is the basis of Engineering. It might seem as though I just lost my mory for a few numbers, but this represents a series of gaps in my knowledge.

At this mont, I have much more important matters to rember. Under the propulsion of magic, using Margaret as a key phrase, the Experintal Logs of the Crazy Lich has flipped onto the page where everything began. Those are the days where we adventured together.

“Ah, crap. I better apologize tomorrow. No, since she is a Saint, she would be very sensitive and careful. If I were to throw her an insincere and casual apology, it would only make things worse. It would better for to apologize after finishing all of my logs. Sigh, the last ti I took 2 months and that was a hundred years ago. With a total of 300 years of logs, how long will it take for to finish through all these? Three months? Half a year?”

Imdiately, I knew that I was being too positive.

“Ah, seems like I have really died too many tis. To think that I wouldn’t be able to even recognize the words I wrote. This square-looking word... Tower Spirit, please pass a Chinese learning material first.”

Very quickly, a large stack of books is stacked in front of on my desk.

“n at their birth, are naturally good. Their natures are much the sa; their habits beco widely different.

If foolishly there is no teaching, their nature will deteriorate. The right way in teaching, is to attach the utmost importance in thoroughness...”

In front of the study desk, a young kid carries a book that is even bigger than him. The lodious tune of him reciting from the book echoes between the shelves, into the distance...

———-

PS. The na of the book? Lich was never the main point, the main point from the start was the diaries/log.

Squirrel once hesitated whether I should na this book ‘The Savior’s Logs/Diaries’, but as it is too chuuni and without a context, I chose to go with the current na.

TL: Reference for the 3 character classic. It is much concise in Chinese. (“人之初,性本善.性相近,习相远.苟不教,性乃迁.教之道,贵以专...”)

I alternated between the usage of logs and diaries but it is actually the sa thing, mostly hesitating because diaries sohow seed more appropriate in certain cases
