Mages, Adventurers, and Women

“I read in some miscellaneous books about the Lionheart dynasty that this was a common practice during the Lionheart dynasty’s rule over the Gold Island.”

Sylvie was oblivious, so Daphne explained on her behalf:

"It's difficult."

Li Wei thought about the core differences between the Lionheart Kingdom and the Golden Kingdom, and agreed, "It is indeed very difficult."

Sylvie, with a hint of jealousy, interrupted, "What are you two talking about?"

Li Wei glanced at Bones and Duron, who were equally curious, and said succinctly:

"During imprisonment, the spirit cannot resist."

"They usually choose devout believers or... slaves who have been instilled with the idea of ​​being servants since childhood."

"The Lionheart Kingdom is a highly unified kingdom dominated by pure-blooded humans. It enslaves barbarians, orcs, dwarves, sea creatures, hybrids, and other races for its own use. During the Lionheart Kingdom period, races other than humans on Golden Island were marked with a 'mental brand' by the Lionheart royal family from birth, informing them of their status as servants and that they could never rise above it."

Bones cursed "Kuric" under his breath, then suddenly realized what he meant and said:

"So the ones leading the way and the statues on both sides are races other than orcs and humans?"

"The guide was an orc, and the statues on both sides were mainly barbarians and dwarves."

After Li Wei's explanation, the previously strange atmosphere dissipated.

Li Wei had one more thing he didn't say.

"Spirits" can usually only exist for a long time in areas where necromantic elements are active.

It mainly consists of mass graves and cenotaphs.

Based on the large number of stone statues on both sides, Li Wei suspected that this was very likely a "large tomb".

It was once explored by the Lionheart royal family, who came up with the strange conclusion that it was a "ruin, ancient site".

Later, they arranged for methods such as guiding spirits and stone statue spirits.

Li Wei's unwavering exploration was also related to two items in his storage ring—a deep blue token he had stolen from the coffin of Delis, the daughter of Grand Duke Daber and a member of the Lionheart royal family, in Moon Town.

As they approached, the two tokens emitted a deep, eerie light within their storage rings.

deep.

Something is attracting them.

……

The path to the secret magic circle leading to the "middle circle" is winding and circuitous.

I encountered three useless stone tablets that Helen, a female warrior, had mentioned.

“Beathorne, an ancient word of the Lionheart royal family, means: to stay; this is a platform for rest.”

……

"Razi means: to prepare for battle."

……

"Launley, meaning: Watch out, the center circle is just ahead."

……

After passing the Lauenley Stone, the view suddenly opened up before them.

We were just in the dark corridor a moment ago.

A magnificent and colorful new world appeared before my eyes.

A barrier resembling flowing water blocked their path. The guiding spirit paused, nodded to Li Wei, and then returned the way it came.

The barrier was covered with arcane characters, preventing everyone from entering the magnificent and colorful world.

As you can see, behind the barrier of arcane characters, there are birds singing, flowers blooming, vast grasslands, blue skies and white clouds, a colorful scene, like a fairyland.

Where is this?

"Golden Island doesn't seem to have such a place?"

Sylvie murmured.

Daphne pointed to several places, each with either bright or dim magical stone tablets, and magic crystals like ripe fruit hanging from branches. She said wistfully:

"See, I didn't lie to you."

Li Wei couldn't help but wonder if this wasn't the great tomb he had suspected.

Why are there so many stone spirit statues?

The Lionheart royal family designated this place as a ruin and ancient site because of the "magnificent world" behind the barrier.

The deconstruction process is simple and easy to understand, without even any strange racial allegorical stories.

The barrier was removed, and a surge of elements and magic washed over us.

The breeze stirred the long hair of several ladies, like a gentle spring breeze.

Bone remarked, "I feel that the Earth Vein Giant Elephant Bloodline Elixir accumulated in my body can be absorbed quickly."

The dwarf agreed, "It would be great if we could grow taller."

Stepping inside, the deep corridor behind you disappears.

Looking around, the grass is lush and green, stretching as far as the eye can see.

From time to time, towering ancient trees can be seen reaching into the clouds, their trunks standing tall and imposing.

The number of exotic flowers and rare herbs is countless.

Large magic crystals are either hidden in flower stamens, hanging under blades of grass, or draped under thorny branches.

Bright, magical stone tablets were piled up in rows.

This is a true "secret realm".

Since stepping into this place, Li Wei felt as if he were in a secret world, carefree, and only wanted to focus on cultivating the elements.

Daphne's Radiant Five scattered and ran off with clear goals in mind.

I could see it from afar.

Daphne found a natural lightning pool rich in lightning element, and cautiously probed its way in from the outside.

Jane found a collapsed stone statue containing pure light elements, which she guided into her body.

Helen, Mila, and Liscia each have their own opportunities.

Sylvie, Bones, and Duron watched with envy, but Levi remained still, so the three of them had to suppress their impulses and wait for Levi to speak.

Li Wei silently approached the row of magic stone tablets.

He examined it carefully and found that the real name of the magic stone tablet was real, and the six-pointed star array in Moon Town was not reversed.

When he wanted to deconstruct, he suddenly felt a pang of anxiety, as he always felt that deconstruction was not a good choice.

He suppressed his thoughts and walked to the magic crystal.

"Wow! What a huge magic crystal!"

Bone looked at the magic crystal, which was larger than Duron's palm, and exclaimed in surprise.

Just as he was about to reach out, seeing Li Wei's serious expression, he quickly withdrew his hand and asked curiously:

"Li Wei, what should we do next? Can you give me some instructions?"

instruct?

What instructions?

Li Wei's head was like a lump of mush.

He found himself gradually losing his ability to think.

She longed to be like Daphne and the others, immersing herself in the joy of her achievements.

[Rationality -0.01%]

suddenly!

A bright red notification popped up in front of me!

It was like a bucket of cold water being poured over Li Wei's head.

Do it with Samantha four or five times!

This was the first time he had encountered a situation where rationality had diminished.

what the hell!

What causes a decrease in rationality?

Looking around, a gentle breeze caresses the face, like soft hands brushing against the body, making one feel intoxicated.

Damn!

What's wrong?!

Sylvie, Bones, and Duron gradually beamed with joy, beginning to anticipate the harvest to come.

Only Julia was filled with anxiety. She held hands with Levi, her other hand gripping his arm, and said nervously:

"Li Wei... I have a feeling that the immortal stone statues from the Navia Mountains have arrived..."

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He mentally withdrew, but the world remained unchanged.

Everything seemed normal, yet strangely so.

He took out two azure blue tokens, handed them to Julia, and instructed her:

"Take good care of it, and don't lose it."

Yulia gripped the token tightly, only to see two beams of light emerge from the two tokens, both pointing towards the distance.

Sylvie and her two companions were overwhelmed with ecstasy, their expressions exactly the same as those of Daphne by the Thunder Pool and Jane under the statue.

Li Wei temporarily used a wall of fire to separate Sylvie, Bones, and Duron, confining them to their original positions to prevent them from doing anything else.

Sylvie was startled and said jealously, "Levi, where are you going with Julia? Don't leave me behind!"

Ignoring Sylvia, Li Wei and Julia followed the eerie light of the token.

The run took nearly ten minutes.

A tree trunk, cut in half, appeared in front of the two.

Among the densely packed tree rings, there are two slots that fit the azure blue token perfectly.

Yulia tried to intervene first, hoping to test the waters for Levi, but there was no response.

Li Wei tried to insert...

The world before my eyes has changed again.

A misty haze enveloped him.

He saw that within the mist, there were many standing figures woven from the fog.

If one gets close, a bunch of identical, indistinct figures of mist will appear out of thin air around the misty figure, speaking in a mechanical tone:

"I'm asking, is it really impossible to find a job without studying potions at an elven academy?"

"Yes, this year several potion merchants have posted notices that they only recruit potion makers with experience studying at the Elf Academy."

"Why is potion-making so difficult now? I thought only illustrators needed an elven academy background..."

"Damn! Attending the Elf Academy isn't cheap, you have to wait in line, and even then, you can't get a spot..."

"What can you do if you don't go? You won't find a job, you won't have any income. Can you stay on Sky Island?"

Li Wei: ? ? ?

Where did he go?

How did I suddenly end up on a job search platform on Sky Island, instead of in this strange and wonderful world?
