This isn't a souls-like game at all.

【Golden Finger Staff】

Requirements: Strength 8, Intelligence 22

Attribute correction: Strength E, Intelligence B

Durability: 149/150

Item Description: A staff decorated with golden olives and carved in cast gold.

A staff awarded to the magician by the Zhige Zhujin Palace in the Magic Hall.

Among the magicians who have completed their studies and graduated from the temple,

Only the top three outstanding graduates can be awarded the golden olive cane.

This symbolizes wisdom and spirit that surpasses all others.

"The top three outstanding graduates?"

Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the Moonlight Gun by the door and put it on his shoulder, then turned around to look at the winged boy who followed him out of the room with his head down.

I can’t believe that this crying guy is not only a magician, but also one of the top three in his class?

But the top three are a bit weak, he thought.

He has basically zero fighting ability, Schrödinger's courage, I don't know whether to say it's small or big, and he cries as soon as he gets hit.

Is this the wisdom and spirit that surpasses all others?

Thinking of the few prospective graduates from Zhige Hall who were in the city working on their graduation theses, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"What's your name, one of the top three graduates of Zhi Ge?"

He weighed the cast-gold staff in his hand and looked at him sideways.

The boy was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect the other party to mention this.

He rubbed his red face, glanced down at the staff in his hand, and answered dryly.

"Angel, my name is Angel Gray Wing..."

"Are you a magician from the Winged Manufacture Group? How many years have you graduated? What did you study?"

"Three...three years..." Angel lowered his head and whispered, "I'm a graduate of the Gold Casting Palace. I studied...metallurgy and architecture, as well as construction magic. I also learned a little bit of fire magic, but I didn't get started..."

"You know four kinds of magic? So many?" Ye Yiyi was slightly surprised.

"what?"

Angel was stunned and couldn't help but look up, looking at Ye Yiyi with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"No... no, I only know a little bit of construction magic, and I haven't even started with fire... flame magic yet."

"Uh?"

Ye Yiyi was a little surprised and didn't react immediately.

"Smelting and construction...you mean pure theory?"

"It's not just pure theory..." Angel bit his lip. "I've actually practiced both of these, and I've received badges of rank from the Imperial Academy."

Ye Yiyi thought about it and suddenly understood.

Metallurgy and construction are not magic, but disciplines.

So you are learning blacksmithing and plastering in the Magic Temple?

"Outrageous..."

He couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. It turns out that the Magic Palace does more than just teach magic?

When Ye Yiyi thought about the fact that the chief of the Gold Casting Palace was also the behind-the-scenes boss of the Qiqiao Workshop, he suddenly felt no longer surprised.

The magic in Ronmoya is very developed, and those magicians even landed on the moon through the power of magic.

For them, magic and science are no different; both are a means of exploring and utilizing the laws of the world.

The construction magic and fire magic that Angel mentioned just now made Ye Yiyi a little curious and concerned.

The fire magic was probably the same one he used just now, but what was the construction magic?

But now was not the time to talk about that, he went straight to the core question.

"How did you survive? What are you Winged People doing here? And what happened to that guy just now?"

After hearing these questions, Angel's chaotic mood finally calmed down.

He knew nothing about this place, and it seemed he hadn't lied. He wasn't one of those wizard-hunters...

But he did not have a wizard's badge, nor was he a formal magician who graduated from the Hall of Stopping War.

He is neither a hunting magician nor a formal magician, so where did he learn magic from?

Looking at the misty nebula surrounding Ye Yiyi, Angel touched his aching cheek and said in a low voice after a short silence:

"I escaped. The Winged Manufacture Group was hired by the lord to expand his castle. That guy just now..."

There was a hint of fear in Angel's eyes.

“It was once a human, but was transformed into that appearance by a hunting magician!

"They are using this ancient site and the ancient technology of the flying dragon clan to transform humans into flying dragons!"

Transform people... into flying dragons?

So that thing really is a little dragon man?

Ye Yiyi frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

By the way, the golden vertical pupils of that pitch-black guy do look a little familiar.

Didn’t Erica, the fanatical fan of Michaela whom he met at the Tongtian Tree, also have a pair of conspicuous golden vertical pupils?

So, she is actually a transformed dragon person?

But she seemed to have no scales, and her mind was very clear, unlike the previous thing, which had only brutality and murderous intent in its eyes, without any rationality at all, like a zombie.

"What's with those golden vertical pupils?" he asked.

"I don't know." Angel shook his head like a rattle. "They only let me study those large machines and never told me about anything else."

"Research? Large machinery?"

Ye Yiyi frowned slightly, "What do you mean by asking you to study?"

"I am the deputy leader of the Wing Manufacture Group."

Angel said dejectedly:

"I am one of the few Winged People in my clan who can enter the Zhige Hall to study magic. Therefore, after graduation, I joined the Construction Corps, responsible for architectural design, and at the same time using magic to assist in construction.

"But I didn't expect that Ambright was a base for hunting magicians. They imprisoned me and threatened the lives of my people, asking me to help find a way to activate the large machinery once used by the Flying Dragon Clan in this ancient ruin."

The lives of the tribe...

Ye Yiyi frowned and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"grown ups!"

Angel suddenly burst into tears and spoke tremblingly:

"Can you please help me rescue the Winged People trapped deep in the ruins? That group of magic hunters suddenly took them away this afternoon, and among them were women and children!

"You are so powerful that you can even break through their defenses and get in here. Could you please be kind enough to help them?"

"Women and children..."

Ye Yiyi's eyes were serious.

"They took them away. Are you sure they are still alive?"

"We Winged People can sense the presence of our fellow tribesmen through their wings." Angel sadly took out a feather fan from the brown wings curled up behind him.

It was a fan made of a large number of colorful feathers, many of which had lost their feathers, leaving it like a bare stick.

"The roots and feathers of the dead tribesmen who left behind with me will completely wither..."

Looking at the mostly bare feather fan in his hand, Angel began to cry softly.

"But... woo, woo, there are still some feathers... that haven't withered yet, woo, woo, those who were taken away, they must still be alive... Please, sir, please, save them... please..."

Ye Yiyi looked down at the fan with only a dozen intact feathers left, and silently threw the finger stick back to him.

"Tell me where they are."

Angel took the staff in a hurry. After hearing the answer, he was stunned and wiped his tearful face quickly.

"No, sir! I will go with you!"

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Ye Yiyi raised an eyebrow. "You were obviously scared to death just now, and kept shouting, 'Don't kill me.'"

"That's because I haven't rescued all my people yet."

He clutched his feather fan and cane tightly, his red eyes, brimming with tears, filled with determination.

"Even if I die, I want to see my people safe and sound before I die..."

Chapter 287 Deep Flying Dragon

"Even if I die, I want to see my people safe and sound before I die..."

Angel's tears kept flowing as she said this, and the red marks of tears squeezed on her pale and delicate face, making her look like a crying little girl.

To be honest, these words coming from his mouth were not very convincing.

But Ye Yiyi knew he was serious.

His telepathic intelligence told him that although Angel was afraid of death, he cared more about the safety of his tribe than his own life.

Such a contrast was beyond Ye Yiyi's expectations.

"In that case, then lead the way." Ye Yiyi said.

He didn't worry too much about it. It was always easier to have someone lead the way than to grope his way by himself. Besides, he definitely knew more about Dragon Soul Fortress than Ye Yiyi, so he could get some information from him.

Crossing the corridor strewn with bloody and fleshy remains, they returned to the huge corridor that could accommodate multiple flying dragons.

Ye Yiyi turned her head to look at Angel, who had a pale expression and was retching continuously.

"This way..."

Angel took several deep breaths to dispel the strong smell of blood in his nostrils.

The bloody scene, which was commonplace for Ye Yiyi, made Angel feel extremely uncomfortable.

Then he walked ahead, quickening his pace as if fleeing, and led Ye Yiyi up a staircase.

Finally, we arrived at a steel corridor built against the wall on the right side of the corridor.

Ye Yiyi looked around, looking through the half-person-high fence beside him at the empty corridor floor and the many buildings built on the walls on both sides.

The layout and structure of this place are somewhat similar to the underground clear water channel, but it is limited to the buildings on the wall for humanoid creatures to use, and the huge steel platform for flying dragons to land.

"There are so many buildings here for human use. It seems that the Dragon Soul Fortress is not only the base for flying dragons, but also for humans." Ye Yiyi thought.

But the size of a flying dragon is too large compared to humans. Even if it does not wear steel armor, its huge mass and size will cause a lot of inconvenience.

Thinking about it this way, the place where Ye Yiyi was walking should be a gathering place for humans. As for the buildings that were actually for flying dragons to live in, he had not seen them yet.

"Moo!"

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a strange roar full of brutality and murderous intent.

"Why does this sound... sound like a cow mooing?"

Ye Yiyi looked up and saw Angel standing stiffly in place, trembling all over, his legs shaking with fear, beads of sweat dripping from his pale face, his eyes wide open, as if he was frightened silly.

Turning his head again, he saw a strange creature with two curved horns on its head and covered in black scales on its body, lying on all fours on the steel corridor not far away, with its head held high and roaring continuously.

"Hurry... hurry..." Angel couldn't stop the trembling in his words, "Hurry... hurry to make it shut up, it will attract other monsters..."

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling white comet flew past his body, leaving a long comet tail in Angel's eyes, and hit the monster directly.

"boom!"

A flash of white magic suddenly appeared, and the monster's roar stopped abruptly. Its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and bright red blood flowed out from the big hole that went through its head and tail.
