After receiving the penalty document, Lyon no longer felt any regrets, but instead felt a sense of relief.
However, Duncan, who was standing by, seemed to be dissatisfied with the punishment and had once again negotiated with the official, requesting to meet His Majesty in person.
Seeing this, Lyon hurried forward to pull his best friend Duncan back. After apologizing and saying goodbye to the officer, he took Duncan back to his office.
"Lyrne, you've already thought about this, right?"
Looking at the expression on his best friend's face, Duncan spoke with a complicated expression.
"Ah."
Lyon nodded solemnly. After this final attempt, he had no regrets at all.
The regretlessness in his expression no longer seemed like a pretense, but a genuine feeling.
"After this incredibly difficult struggle, I've made it to the end, ugly as hell."
"Now this kind of punishment is acceptable to me."
"Your Majesty's intention is firm enough. Duncan, there is no need to ruin your own future for something that is already irrefutable."
"After all, you are different from me. You have a talent for dealing with people that is no less than magic."
"Do you really think so?"
Seeing that his best friend's eyes did not seem fake, Duncan lowered his head and pondered before looking at Lyon again.
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Is this a question?"
After a moment's thought, a glint flashed in Lyon's eyes, and he smiled and replied, "Now I actually have an answer that might be good."
"Duncan, you know what kind of person I am."
"I know nothing about dealing with people, but when it comes to [magic talent], I'm confident that I possess a talent that's truly exceptional."
"Coincidentally, I received a message yesterday."
"It is said that the legendary great magician Celia, who has survived from the mythical era to this day, has publicly appeared in the city of Oissast and announced her intention to establish an organization called the Continental Magic Association to evaluate magicians of this era and recruit some disciples."
"I think this might be my only chance in this life to climb to the peak of this mountain called [Magic]."
"So, in the coming days, I will head to the city of Oissast to participate in the first magician examination organized by the Continental Magic Association. My goal is to pass the examination and become Master Celia's disciple."
"That's not bad."
Duncan said slowly that since Lyon had found the goal and direction of life again, he was relieved.
It was just this mental relaxation that made Duncan keenly catch the key words in Lyon's words just now - the city [Oissast].
So Duncan coughed twice and moistened his throat.
Seeing his best friend in this state, Lyon's brows jumped. Whenever Duncan showed such an expression, he could now predict what would happen next.
As expected, Duncan began to tell the love story between himself and his wife in his calm tone.
Moreover, in Duncan's narration this time, he also focused on telling me the story of the couple's travels in Oisast.
Lyleen, who is still single, listened to the whole thing with a wry smile, but this time, Lyleen suddenly felt a surge of desire in his heart.
When my life in Oissast becomes stable, should I start looking for my own love?
Otherwise, every time they meet, I can only smile bitterly and listen to Duncan sharing dog food in my ear.
At the same time, in the northern countries, [Oissast].
In a dilapidated small monastery in the city, Gut was transcribing a folk tale from the [Unified Empire Period].
When Gutt wrote to the end of the story, his writing style changed and put a full stop to the short essay.
The system's pleasant prompt sound also sounded.
【Ding! 】
[Daily Task: Do one good deed a day has been completed]
Putting down the pen in his hand, Gut walked out of his seat and stretched his body.
After relaxing for a while, Gut took the opportunity to draw the reward for today's "Do One Good Deed a Day" task.
【Random rewards are being drawn】
【Extraction completed】
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item: 20 years of lifespan]
"Ok?"
"wrong!!!"
Gut, who had closed the system interface because he thought it was an ordinary item, shuddered suddenly.
He immediately called up the [System Space] interface again and carefully checked the prizes he had just drawn.
[Item Name: 20-Year Lifespan]
[Effect: After use, the host's lifespan will be increased by 20 years. During this period, the host's physical and mental fitness will be maintained at their peak. (Note: This item is for the host's personal use only and cannot be split or transferred.)]
It actually does increase your lifespan.
Gut's hands were shaking and his expression was uncontrollably excited.
I won the jackpot again!
Moreover, in Gut's opinion, the 20-year lifespan at the peak of the human body is a hundred times more precious than the [Magic Inheritance Scroll] he had drawn before.
Even though there are objective limitations such as [cannot be split] and [cannot be transferred], these are already the most precious things in the world.
After all, throughout the dynasties, whether in the East or the West, "lifespan" is something that countless emperors, kings, and countless wealthy and famous people have spent their entire lives pursuing but have not been able to obtain.
And, in theory.
Since the system has set up the reward of [Lifespan] in the [Do One Good Deed a Day] prize pool, as long as Gut can persevere and draw it day after day.
Then according to the principles of probability, when the number of draws accumulates to a sufficient order of magnitude, the probability of obtaining an item will be equal to its share in the prize pool probability.
Sooner or later, I will be able to draw the [Lifespan] reward again, and if I look at it over a longer period of time, this will be a relatively stable cyclical output.
In other words
Gut seems to have found a way to [eternal life].
It seems that as long as you draw the [Lifespan] reward from the [Do One Good Deed a Day] prize pool, the cycle can be lower than or even equal to the reward.
Can you achieve eternal life?
Gut shook his head and stopped imagining these future events. Instead, he clicked [Use] and added these twenty years of life to himself.
As the [Lifespan] icon gradually faded out in the system space, Gut also felt a distinct sensation in his body.
No, it seems that not only the body, but also Gut’s spirit has a "wet" feeling?
My body and soul are both warm and a little numb.
As his lifespan increased, this feeling faded like the tide. However, Gut, waking from a dream, still felt a lingering sense of unreality.
Not to mention, the feeling of increasing longevity seems to be somewhat similar to sleeping.
However, this process is much more comfortable than sleeping, and when you wake up, you don’t have the symptoms of confused thinking and stiff body after getting up. You just feel sharp-minded and light-bodied.
All these feelings can actually be summed up in five words.
which is,
"That's damn good."
Chapter 8 The First Magician Assessment Begins
Xin Shi Ji - 21 BC
[Northern Kingdoms · Oissast]
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
When the old monk pushed open the door of the monastery again, he was surprised to find that the entire monastery from top to bottom, including tables, chairs, and bookshelves, had been cleaned spotlessly.
Even the books displayed on the bookshelves showed signs of having been rearranged.
What caught the old man's attention most was a stack of notes that were deliberately left in a conspicuous place.
The old man took a few steps forward, took the notebook in his hand and looked through it. The notebook clearly recorded the order of the books after sorting, and pointed out which books he had completed the transcription work.
Seeing this, the old monk smiled and shook his head. "I never thought that during my absence, a fellow monk would come to stay in the monastery."
"It's a beautiful thing."
At the end of the note, the mysterious visitor apologized for his presumptuous visit and offered to clean the monastery as payment for his stay for the next few days.
Looking at the spotless environment around him, the old man nodded frequently.
Following the instructions in the notes in his hand, he took out a book transcribed by the mysterious visitor from the bookshelf and compared it with the original text to verify the quality of the transcription.
"Very good, the content is complete, the font is neat, and the annotations are correct."
"All transcription requirements have been met to an excellent standard. Even according to the standards set by senior monks, this is an excellent work that can be passed down through the ages."
"It's a pity that I didn't get to meet this fellow practitioner."
The old monk sighed with regret, "My life span is already numbered. I should find a fellow monk to carry on this monastery."
Wandering on the streets of Oissast, Gut restrained his own magical fluctuations as much as possible.
The city, which had been gradually becoming lively due to Celia's announcement of the establishment of the [Continental Magic Association], became even more lively after this period of brewing, as if celebrating some festival.
The magical fluctuations that were rarely seen on the entire street before, now Gut can sense four or five of them even within his field of vision.
To be able to achieve such an effect, the appeal of Celia, the "Magic Old Deng", is truly amazing.
Gut slightly lowered the brim of his hat, nodded politely to the magicians who also sensed the fluctuations of his magic power, and then left quickly.
Now that he had managed to preserve the entry for [Isolated from the World] with great difficulty, it was even less likely that Gut would relax at this moment.
Relying on his previous familiarity with the road conditions in [Oissast], Gut quickly ran towards the designated location for the assessment.
In fact, there is no need to be familiar with the road conditions, because most people in the city are gathering in one direction.
