Chapter 147 Lorna’s Training, Book of Illusions

[As an apostle with a guilty conscience, what should you do? 】

Lin Xun suddenly remembered, wasn't Grand Bachelor Rona the iceberg beauty that the owner of the smelting plant longed for?

The factory owner loves but cannot bear it, and can be called a model of dog licking.

He did not hesitate to take out the "Secret Copper Essence" from the body of the "Fine Copper Monster" he had raised, and gave it as a gift along with a letter of confession, just to win the favor of the beauty.

The Archmaester Rona in front of him is undoubtedly very powerful. Before he possesses the body that can increase the amount of knowledge, he can gain 800 knowledge for the first time.

It can be seen from this that being tough is not the most reasonable move at the moment.

[1. Quickly put on the 'Association Scholar's Robe' and tell Grand Maester Rona that you are a new scholar. Because your family is so poor that you can't even open the pot, you have no choice but to come here to steal books. And stealing books cannot be considered stealing... stealing books! Can what happens to a scholar be considered stealing? 】

[2. Quickly put on the ‘Examiner Uniform of the Multi-viewing School Association’ and tell Grand Maester Rona that you are here to get a ‘book containing some knowledge’ to be used in the examination of candidates. As for why you met, it's because an examiner just died suddenly on the spot, and you are the new examiner. 】

[3. Quickly take off your 'gorgeous performance dance clothes' and ask Grand Maester Lorna if you, tall and thick, meet his aesthetics. 】

Two are long and one is short, of course I choose short... Bah.

Pretending to be an examiner is not very reliable. In comparison, the first option is more normal. After all, he is a new scholar. It is normal for newcomers not to understand the rules.

But he still has a choice.

That is to spend a little soul strength to reshape the body of the factory owner.

There is a special item called 'Letter of Confession to Grand Maester Lorna' in the inventory.

['Letter of Confession to Grand Maester Lorna' (special props): The exquisite envelope has a bright red sealing wax on the seal. The letter paper is filled with crooked characters, recording the admirer's explicit love for 'Grand Maester Lorna' meaning. Using this item against a specific target will produce unknown results. It may be exchanged for a night of love with the target, it may be exchanged for a good guy card, or it may be received an angry slap. Who knows? 】

If he confessed his identity as a factory owner, he would probably not be treated as a thief by Grand Maester Lorna.

But Lin Xun had a vague feeling that it was not the best time to use this prop.

Through the item description of the prop, he deduced that there should also be a favorability mechanism in the game.

Even the factory owner has to use precious props such as the 'Secret Copper Essence' to 'defeat' Grand Maester Rona.

It would undoubtedly be a huge waste if he used this item in the current situation to avoid being caught stealing.

The three options began to tremble slightly, indicating that there was not much time left for him to think.

Lin Xun no longer hesitated and pressed the first option.

[You are equipped with the ‘Association Scholar Robe’ (premium equipment)! 】

[As you put on the 'Association Scholar's Robe', you take out the 'Multi-viewing School Association's Scholar Certificate' and identify yourself to 'Grandmaester Rona'. 】

['The knowledge-seeking bachelor of the multi-sighted school - Lorna's cold eyes softened slightly, and it motioned for you to follow it. 】

['Grand Maester Lorna' turned and left, leaving you with a graceful back...]

[Are you going to keep up with ‘Grand Maester Lorna’? 】

Lin Xun frowned slightly, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd by Grand Master Rona?

Hand pressing follow option.

['Grandmaester Rona' leads you out of the 'Ancient Books Library'. When you go out, you tap your finger on the counter to wake up the sleeping staff. 】

[It takes you to the elevator and takes the elevator directly to the fifth floor of the association building...]

[You secretly took out the map of the 'Multi-Viewing School Association Building' and took a look. The third floor of the association building is where the great scholars in the association gather, while the fourth floor is where the bachelor's offices are located. 】

[The fifth floor of the association building is where the bachelor's degree is, and the sixth floor is where the president of the association is...]

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

The first and second floors of the association building are not monster spawning maps.

On the other hand, there are many 'scholars' gathered on these upper floors, which may be the place where monsters can be spawned to obtain bodies.

[The halls and corridors on the fifth floor are empty and deserted. You look around and see that there are only a few offices here, but they all occupy a very large area. It seems that the bachelor is already the second most powerful person in the association after the president of the association. . 】

['Grandmaester Rona' leads you straight into an office and closes the door of the office. 】

Lin Xun's heart trembled.

Talking alone in the office, it is possible that Grand Maester Lorna has some ulterior motive.

Or..."This new scholar, you don't want others to know about stealing books." Something not suitable for children?

['Grand Maester Lorna' frowned slightly and looked at the 'Battle Angel - Valkyrie' following closely behind you. 】

[It has a cold tone and asks you, how can a new and cash-strapped scholar have such financial resources to buy a maid doll. 】

[And this doll is undoubtedly the top doll, even the most knowledgeable one has never seen it before. 】

[If it weren’t for this doll, it would bring some new understanding to it. Just for your theft just now, it will kill you on the spot to eliminate the scum in the association. 】

[As he spoke, he silently lamented that the association has been getting worse year by year recently. As long as he is willing to pay some money, he can become the high-ranking scholar he used to be. The pure and sacred palace of knowledge has been corrupted by dirty property...]

['Grandmaester Lorna' looks at you and tells you that for some reason, this doll feels particularly familiar to it. 】

[This doll of yours is slightly different from the other dolls. It seems... to have a certain amount of wisdom. If you develop it carefully, you might be able to absorb knowledge from books. 】

['Grand Maester Lorna' wants to train you, the Watcher, and teach her knowledge and skills. 】

[Are you willing to give orders to the ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ to let her stay here for further study? 】

Lin Xun never expected it.

Before he had the chance to study further, Valkyrie did.

Could it be that he doesn't have the intelligence to look like this?

I have already begun to imagine in my mind that the Valkyrie is wearing a robe, holding a staff, chanting a spell and launching a fireball.

Which BOSS can withstand the flying spell turret?

It turns out the boss is actually the Valkyrie...

Without hesitation, he pressed 'Yes' in his hand and gave the Valkyrie a stay command.

Anyway, he still has the summoning item 'Fine Bronze Sand Hammer' in his hand, so he is not afraid of anything that Grand Maester Lorna will do.

As long as the Valkyrie rests here and learns postures and knowledge, she will be able to become a full-professional domination watcher.

['Grandmaester Lorna' waves her hand, indicating that you can leave. When she has trained the puppet, she will let it find you on its own. 】

[During this period, unless necessary, you must not summon the puppet to interrupt the learning progress...]

['Grandmaester Lorna' took out a few books from the bookcase behind him and began to explain their secrets to 'Battle Angel - Valkyrie'...]

[‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ looks at you reluctantly, but due to the instructions, she can only learn here...]

Lin Xun saw that there was nothing else for him to do here, so he exited Luo Na's office.

Floors three, four, five and six should be places where you can spawn 'scholars', and the bodies of 'scholars' will not escape. It's not too late to go to the second floor to explore the non-combat map, and then upgrade to spawn monsters.

He took the elevator back to the second floor and continued exploring.

Halfway through the exploration of the 'Ancient Books Library' on the second floor, he was interrupted by Archmaester Lorna, who was about to go searching again.

[You step towards the deepest part of the corridor and open the door...]

[What comes into view are rows of tall and neat bookshelves, and the rich smell of ink rushes into your nostrils. 】

[At the entrance of the library, an elderly scholar wearing an association uniform is lying on the counter and reading attentively. 】

[Your arrival did not attract its attention at all...]

[Are you going to step forward to greet the scholar, or go into the library to search when he is not paying attention? 】

Is this gatekeeper a decoration?

Lin Xun was still possessed by the dancer's body at this time.

Although the dancer's invisibility skill is ineffective against most of the multi-eyed monsters in this world, it has some psychological comfort at least.

No matter how bad it is, you can still avoid the eyeless monsters.

He activated his stealth skill and continued searching.

【searching……】

[You found a rather ancient scroll on the bottom of the bookshelf. It seems that this scroll is of great value...]

[You have obtained a ‘scroll containing ancient knowledge’*1]

[‘Scroll containing ancient knowledge’: The yellowed scroll is filled with dense text. These words seem to have mysterious magic power, making people indulge in them unconsciously. Using this prop will increase the amount of knowledge by 50 points. 】

【searching……】

[You find a book on the bookshelf that emits a faint white light. 】

[You have obtained a ‘book containing some knowledge’*1]

【Searching...】

[You have found nothing, there are no useful props in the bookshelf that can attract attention. 】

[You are about to leave here when you suddenly find something in a row of bookshelves in the corner of the library, emitting a faint white light. 】

[You quietly step forward to check...]

[You find an old and damaged canvas in the mezzanine at the bottom of the bookshelf. 】

[You obtained the ‘Incomplete Star Map’ (special prop)]

[‘Incomplete Star Map’ (special prop), on an old and damaged canvas, countless stars in the galaxy are depicted with rich oil paint. This painting seems to have magical power, attracting the attention of the observer and making people immersed in it. If you can find the missing parts of the canvas and piece them together, something unexpected may happen. This special prop is still incomplete and cannot be used. 】

Incomplete star map, what is this?

According to the item description, this special prop is incomplete and other parts must be found before the prop can be used.

Lin Xun put the props away and searched again. The game text kept showing that nothing was found. It seemed that he had plundered all the valuable items in the 'Ancient Books Library'.

He was about to exit the 'Ancient Books Library' when he suddenly stopped.

[At the entrance of the library, an old scholar wearing an association uniform is lying on the counter and reading attentively. 】

[Your stay did not attract its attention at all...]

[Do you want to come forward and greet the scholar, or leave here? 】

Now that the looting is over, it’s not too much to say hello to the staff, right?

[You release the invisibility state and step forward to talk to the old scholar...]

[The 'Knowledge-seeking Scholar of the Multi-View Association' raised his head and signaled that if you want to enter the 'Ancient Book Library' to check the information, you need to pay a thousand spiritual points fee. 】

[Do you want to trade with him to enter the ‘Ancient Books Library’? 】

"...I thought there would be some plot events."

Lin Xun decisively chose ‘no’ and exited the library.

[You exit the ‘Ancient Books Library’ and return to the corridor on the second floor. 】

[Go straight ahead and you will enter the central hall on the second floor, which is connected to the 'Knowledge Hall of Illusions' and the 'Eyeball Laboratory' on the left and right.]

【Where are you going? 】

[You come to the central hall, step into the corridor on the left, go all the way, and soon reach the end of the corridor. 】

[Pushing open the door at the end of the corridor, there is an empty room. There is only a counter at the entrance, where an elderly scholar is waiting quietly. 】

[The 'Knowledge-Seeking Scholar of the Multi-View Association' saw you, its eyes lit up, it hurriedly called you over, took out a stack of heavy books from the counter, and lined them up on the counter. 】

[You stride forward and look carefully at the books on the counter...]

['The knowledge-seeking scholar of the Association' sees you wearing the 'Association Scholar's Robe' and a new face, and knows that you are a newly promoted scholar of the Association. 】

[It opens its mouth to introduce to you... In this world, there will always be some unreasonable things. The 'remaining illusion of knowledge' is an unreasonable thing that many scholars have been unable to understand in their lifetime. 】

[Although I don’t know why, the ancient scholars used their great knowledge to develop technical means to preserve these ‘remaining illusions of knowledge’. 】

[The books it lists on the counter are containers that retain the ‘remaining illusion of knowledge’. 】

[As long as you open the book, you can enter the "remaining illusion of knowledge". If you are lucky enough to be favored by the "Almighty True Knowledge", you can obtain knowledge and wealth in the illusion. 】

['The Knowledge-Seeking Scholar of the Polyvision Association' has said this, and asks you expectantly, if the new scholars would like to try it once, and enter the feeling of illusion...]

[Look carefully at the books listed on the counter...]

['The book recording the illusion - the promotion ceremony of the president of the Polyvision School Association', the illusion records the heroic appearance of the president of the association when he first became the president. Spiritual value: 0】

['The book recording the illusion - the process of observing the hidden stars', the illusion records the whole process of using the stargazing telescope to observe the hidden stars. Spiritual value: 1000]

[‘The book recording the illusion—Record of the Experimental Surgery of the Composite Eyeball’, the illusion records the surgical process of synthesizing some kind of strange eyeball. Spiritual value: 3000]

[‘The book recording the illusion—Grandmaester Lorna’s bathing recording’, the illusion records the entire process of a beautiful grandmaester named ‘Lona’ taking a bath alone. Spiritual value: 0]

[As you see this, the 'knowledge-seeking scholar from the Polysighted Association' suddenly hurriedly puts this book into his ceremonial robe, and apologizes to you repeatedly, saying that he took the wrong book, and hopes that you just pretended that you didn't see anything. 】

[Of course, if you are also of the same mind, then it’s okay for you to take a look at it. I just hope you don’t make this matter public...]

Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth, what kind of super dream experience is this?

He had also entered a 'remaining knowledge illusion' before. In the teaching building of Diss Academy, he used the body of Li'er to enter the illusion and take an exam.

After the exam, the dean of Diss Academy took him to the basement of the teaching building to receive the award.

It shows that some benefits can indeed be gained from the 'remaining illusion of knowledge'.

[You continue to look at the next book...]

['The book recording the illusion - the scene of the battle with the foggy monster', the illusion records the scene of a powerful scholar fighting against the foggy monster. Spiritual value: 5000]

['The book recording the illusion - the journey of exploration into the abyss', the illusion records the journey of a certain scholar with extraordinary strength, facing the abyss and entering the underground. Spiritual value: 10000]

Lin Xun's eyes lit up.

The ‘Eyeball of the Underground Compound-Beholder Demon’ that he obtained previously is introduced in the item description...

"The compound-eyed demon living underground not only did not degenerate its eyes in the dark environment, but also evolved its eyes to the extreme. It can still see things clearly in the darkness with its many eyeballs. The compound-eyed demon's eighteen eyes make up Without the corresponding neural network, the special effects of the eyeball cannot be exerted."

In the abyss of the earth, there must be more than one kind of monster like the compound-eyed demon.

There should also be many powerful creatures and eyeballs with all kinds of weird abilities.

When he thought of this, Lin Xun was ready to enter the 'remaining illusion of knowledge' in this book.

[You chose the phantom book of ‘Journey into the Abyss’…]

['The Knowledge-Seeking Scholar of the Polyvision Association' suggests that you pay 10,000 spiritual points. After paying the spiritual energy, open the book and enter the illusion...]

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

The books are all placed on the counter. If you kill the scholar in front of you, wouldn't you be able to buy them for zero dollars...
