As ti passed by, Tang Cuo continuously channelled his magic energy into the [Sword of Judgnt], carefully sensed their flow and eventually discovered the trick at the 43rd minute of being in this room.
The key was the timing of his energy input and the timing of his spell release, both of which had to cooperate with each other.
Tang Cuos affinity with magic elents was really not high. He couldnt use them freely at his will, so he could only incessantly train himself. Like guiding the formation of a troop, he must teach these magic elents to rember where they should be.
After another five minutes, Tang Cuo finally could conjure a small fireball with the [Sword of Judgnt]. Although the fireball was small and didnt last long, it was undoubtedly a good start.
By this point, the one-hour ti limit was approaching, so Tang Cuo practised for a while more, then took the initiative to check out and walked to the elevator.
But just as he was passing through the public arena, a group of people were walking in his way, so he slightly dodged to one side and the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of soone inside a ring 50 ters away.
Because the place was far away, Tang Cuo couldnt see it clearly, but it was the glimpse of that mont that had him frown.
Why did that man look so much like ng Yufei?
Tang Cuo decisively chased after the person, but the noisy crowd cut him off from the target. By the ti he looked over, that vague figure of ng Yufei was no longer there.
Soone in the crowd also recognised Tang Cuo.
Tang Cuo didnt want to deal with all those Tang ge greetings, so he nodded coldly and firmly left the training ground.
Walking out of the main door, he took one last glance and quickly returned to East Cross Street to knock on Jin Chengs door. Jin Cheng was surprised that Tang Cuo ca here on his own volition: Did the sun rise in Yong Ye City today?
Tang Cuo looked at the face mask on his face then the book in his hand and was speechless for a mont.
Ten minutes later, Jin Cheng washed off the mask, and while slowly wiping his face, he leaned against the basin and said to Tang Cuo: You an, you saw soone that looked like ng Yufei?
Tang Cuo: Yes, but Im not entirely sure.
Yong Ye City does have resurrection equipnt. I dont know if ng Yufei has it, but if you really see him, then he is most likely not dead.
Then what are you going to do?
Since Jin Cheng had already made his move on ng Yufei, it would be troubleso that ng Yufei was alive. With ng Yufeis personality, he would never give up taking revenge on Jin Cheng.
He isnt dead, but there has been no news of his resurrection for so long, so he must be hiding on purpose and wont be easily found by us. The thod that we used last ti to bring him out probably wont work now. Compared with death, a bit of sha was nothing. Jin Cheng was good at figuring out what people thought, and he mostly wouldnt make wrong judgnts.
ng Yufei was staying still now, so there should be no problem for a short while.
On the other hand, Jin Cheng was more concerned about Tang Cuos problem: How is your training?
Tang Cuo roughly described his progress. Hearing this, Jin Cheng said: Youre still a bit lacking in your sword fighting skill, do you want to teach you?
Will you?
Dont underestimate your instructor.
Jin Chengs sword fighting skill didnt co from his ti in Yong Ye City, but actually from his own learning prior to arriving here. He wouldnt call it extrely proficient, but at least he could teach Tang Cuo to control the weapon more easily and correct so common errors.
Tang Cuo asked: How does Yong Ye City evaluate the skills you learnt before coming here?
Jin Cheng replied: You have to use them, then the system will pass the judgnt. After that, like other rewards, it will be placed in your Skills panel.
So its like that.
Tang Cuo understood, but he was in no hurry to receive guidance for his sword fighting skill. After hearing the news from the Ruby Bar, Lin Yandong had agreed to et them and asked them to co to a book cafe in the central area.
The book cafe was located on an inconspicuous and remote street. The street was black as usual, with flower beds surrounded by wooden fences on both sides, where so unknown red and white flowers were blooming. There were no pedestrians in the whole street, making the atmosphere quiet and elegant.
Tang Cuo had never been here before and had no idea that Yong Ye City actually had such a place. The book cafe at the end of the street was even more out of style for Yong Ye City, for it looked like a real-life place often seen in the cultural district, where tons of people would check in on social dia upon their visit. There were flowering vines on the door and windows, with a few cha birds sitting among the flowers, their hollow hearts carved with flowers and illuminated with a warm light. Everything felt exquisite.
This is Lin Yandongs area? He asked.
One of his forr companions opened it, then he finished serving his karma and went on to reincarnate. But no matter who the boss is, this is indeed Lin Yandongs site, and that has never changed. Jin Cheng said.
Lin Yandong was was a remarkably calculating person. After living in Yong Ye City for so many years, he was also the one that was most familiar with how the system operated. On how to do things without breaking the systems rules, he was better than Jin Cheng.
It was Miao Qi who ca to open the door.
He wasnt carrying his cannon gun today, but the red scarf was still wrapped around his neck, all bright and dazzling. He raised his eyebrows, his expression as arrogant and surly as that night, but it didnt seem to hold any hostility.
Co in, the mister is waiting for you. When the word mister was ntioned, his speaking even slowed down subconsciously.
Lin Yandong was actually sitting by the window. Across the glass, he smiled and nodded to Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng, himself dressed in beige linen clothes, with a handso face and a graceful aura.
Tang Cuo noticed that he was wearing a prayer bead bracelet, and that he had a very good view from where he was sitting. He could see not only every move at the door, but also the magical black steam engine train running into the sky from afar.
When Miao Qi led the two of them over, he stretched a finger to gesture them to sit down and took the initiative to speak first: Its been a long ti.
Jin Cheng comfortably sat down opposite him. The blatancy in his words and actions was grimly contrasted with Lin Yandongs elegance, like the difference between liquor and tea.
Its been a long ti. If it werent for you sending Miao Qi over that day, I almost thought you werent interested in the twelve movents. Jin Cheng said.
Tang Cuo and Miao Qi sat down beside each of them. However, while Tang Cuo simply sat next to Jin Cheng, Miao Qi took out a small stool and placed it on the bench, then sat on it. Tang Cuo had no idea what was wrong with his head.
Lin Yandong smiled and didnt say anything.
When the waiter ca to take their orders, Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng each ordered a cup of signature coffee.
Lets get to the point, has Mr. Lin heard of Sicilit?
I have.
The conversation between the two was unexpectedly straightforward, and they didnt even negotiate any terms. Lin Yandong sipped his coffee and said: I did a mission related to the continent of Sicilit. Did you encounter it too?
Jin Cheng nodded.
Lin Yandong: Theres nothing too hard about that mission. Its about the last battle of a knight, a plot-based fighting dungeon.
A knight?
Both Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo thought of Theodore at once, but Lin Yandongs next sentence took them by surprise That person is the Lord of the White Knights family in the Kingdom of Hundred Flowers, who goes by the na Edwin.
The two looked at each other, both seeing the astonishnt in the others eyes and quickly realising who this Edwin was. Theodore had an elder brother who was the Duke by the ti Theodore first t Lancelot.
Jin Cheng imdiately asked: You said its the last battle. Is it related to the Greenvines Alliance and the Rose Sect?
Lin Yandong wasnt surprised that they could accurately pin down these two nas. Edwin dies at the hands of the Rose Sect. Theres also a special title for that battle, July Rose.
Which must be referring to the July Rose Incident.
Tang Cuo felt sothing surge in his heart. If Edwin died in July Rose, Theodore would inherit the title and beco the new Duke.
Jin Cheng asked again: Is there anyone from the Rose Sect who goes by the na Bazz or Peter?
Lin Yandong shook his head: Although theres a plot, its actually not explained fully and the introduction of the characters is unclear. Its a very fierce battle, so its hard for players to have ti to inquire about those things.
Jin Cheng: What about Theodore and Lancelot?
Lin Yandong: Ive heard of those nas. Lancelot is a very famous bard, right? As for Theodore, Edwin calls this na when he dies. It should be soone hes very close to.
After a pause, he said: Ah, the person from the Rose Sect is called Aesop.
Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng saw it clearly now. Aesop knew Theodores elder brother perhaps because they had fought with each other before, or perhaps they had been friends prior to the point Aesop started rebelling. The definite answer remained unknown.
A duel between those two would undoubtedly be a fierce battle.
It was Lin Yandongs turn to ask: Is there anything special about this mission?
Jin Cheng smiled: Its serial.
At this mont, Jin Cheng wasnt being extrely honest. Although he maintained friendly conversations with Lin Yandong regarding the twelve movents, it wasnt yet ti to let him know that a side missions reward was a fragnt of the movent.
But he didnt expect that Lin Yandong would throw him another heavy bomb in the next second: I have so news about the twelve movents.
Jin Chengs hand holding the coffee cup stopped in its tracks as he raised his eyes: What number?
Lin Yandong tapped his finger on the table: 6th.
Where?
Zone E, inside a special-trigger dungeon.
Hearing this, Tang Cuos face remained unflinching, but doubts were rising in his heart, for he didnt know what a special-trigger dungeon was.
Luckily, Lin Yandong knew that Tang Cuo was a newcor and Jin Cheng wasnt trying to hide it either, so he directly explained: A special-trigger dungeon ans that it can be triggered when the specified conditions are t. However, each player can only enter the sa dungeon once to prevent it from being double-cleared. And a special-trigger dungeons existence has a ti limit. It can be a week or a month, and the mission will automatically disappear after that.
Lin Yandong waited patiently for him to finish explaining before saying: This dungeon appeared four days ago, and the group of people who discovered it earliest found traces of the twelve movents in it. They actually kept the news a secret, but I learnt about it by accident. That said, now that I know it, others will also know it sooner or later.
Jin Cheng narrowed his eyes: Tell , how many people do you think will deliberately break the rules to be punished back to Zone E?
People in different zones couldnt do tasks together, so the missions in Zone E could only be taken up by players in Zone E. The twelve movents were not sothing that can be physically handed to others. Whoever got it would earn the chance to be the next ruler of Yong Ye City.
Not to ntion that this one was the 6th Movent, which belonged to the upper half of the twelve movents.
I dont know, but it will definitely happen. Lin Yandong shook his head slightly, pondered so thoughts for a mont and said: What weve predicted is correct. After the first movent has been used, the rest of the movents will appear more frequently, until all the twelve movents turn up.
Jin Cheng: The 10th and the 11th have been used, and the 5th is with Black Hat. Now there is the 6th, so a quarter has already appeared. Maybe there are others that we havent discovered.
So you must be fast. You have to level up to Zone E as soon as possible to prevent others from getting the 6th Movent.
What about you? Is Mr. Lin going to sit behind the scenes again?
Jin Cheng smiled but his eyes suddenly beca sharp, like a sword that had been taken out of its sheath, unafraid to expose its superb blade.
Lin Yandong wasnt scared of such a sharp blade, but he slightly withdrew, then looked down at the prayer bead bracelet on his wrist. A long mont later, he finally said: I can tell you the reason I cant leave Zone A. This is the restriction that Yong Ye City has put on .
Jin Cheng narrowed his eyes. It was difficult to tell whether he believed the other mans words.
But Lin Yandong just seed to relax and smiled as he glanced at Miao Qi: I cant feel at ease if I let Miao Qi go alone. Jin Cheng, you are soone I can trust, so Im telling you this news. What you want to do about it is your business.
Sir. Miao Qi expressed his dissatisfaction at the right ti. What did Lin Yandong an by he wouldnt feel at ease if he let Miao Qi go alone? What was about Miao Qi that made him worry? Lin Yandong patted his head to calm him down.
Looking at this scene, Tang Cuo inexplicably felt that Miao Qi was like a dostic puppy that would never bark at anyone.
I think Mr. Lin didnt actually want to tell at first. Otherwise, he wouldnt show up only after Jin Cheng had reached out.
I never make plans. Planning ans that there is a trace to follow, and when I think I should tell you, its the best ti for the plan to take shape.
At the end, he smiled again and said: Competing for the movents has always been what you want to do, but to show my sincerity, I can lend you sothing from the dungeon of [July Rose].
Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows: You lend ?
Its a book. I suppose you also know that Ive lived for so many years but only have one hobby of reading. Also, please return the book after you two clear the mission.
What if I dont return it?
Being given this kind of request, Jin Cheng felt that he should challenge it a bit.
Lin Yandong looked at him gently without saying anything, but a bossy aura of If you really dont return it, Ill make sure you disappear quietly from here could be felt exuding from him.
Jin Cheng shrugged: What book is that?
Lin Yandong: Fairy Tales of Sicilit.
Jin Cheng was at a loss for words.
So it turned out that this Lin Yandong was already this old and still read fairy tales? What please return? This kind of book should be donated to make other people feel warm. Do you actually think it will ever be returned once it ends up in this Jin Chengs hands?
At the sa ti, ng Yufei appeared in the departnt store in Zone F.
His face wasnt as eye-catching as Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo, and the players in Zone F didnt deeply rember him, so few people bothered looking at him along the way. His expression was gloomy as he thought about seeing Tang Cuo in the training ground earlier.
Those two are lunatics, and they will definitely not let go.
As the lunatic ng Yufei cursed another lunatic, he gritted his teeth. ng Yufei had no other feather of Mr. Crow at the mont. He didnt want to be bitten by those lunatics again, so he set his eyes on the last ans of life-saving he could get his hands on.
Five minutes later, with his desperation at its peak, he sat down in front of the service desk.
I want the most expensive face distortion service you could offer.
Certainly, sir.
