Chapter 130: Lanqi Successfully Concealed Hyperion's Race
At noon, in the library of Lichtens Castle, eleven people gathered around a large desk, quiet and focused.
The subtle noise in this room seemed to be absorbed by the books densely packed on the bookshelves and walls. Judging from the expressions and demeanor on the faces of the challengers, this topic is crucial.
Their eyes were focused, and everyone was thinking.
After a period of silence.
"Does anyone know demon magic?"
The young master of the Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Canberra saw that the noble mage girl of the Krei Empire had closed the book, so he could only look around and ask.
The three clergymen of the Northern Continent shook their heads first. Clergymen are not allowed to study the magic of other races privately, let alone the direction of demon magic, which is quite taboo for humans.
The young master of the Chamber of Commerce knew that although his guard brothers and sisters were very smart and strong, they did not understand demon magic at all.
And the noble girl who was the best at magic among the three people in the Krei Empire did not know it, and the other knights and little priests did not have to think about it.
Then only the black-haired, green-eyed lawyer and the silver-haired girl who had always been by his side had some hope left.
As for the missing detective...even if he could, he wouldn't be back in the next two days.
In the worst case, he could only look up the meaning of the demon magic text based on other reference books in the library to speculate and interpret the sealed magic book.
But how long it would take, how much key information could be interpreted, and whether it would be snatched away by the betrayer at night during the long interpretation process, there was no way to know.
"I only know a little bit of demon magic text."
Huprienne looked up at Lanqi and whispered, seeming a little guilty that she was useless.
It stands to reason that the person who could read two kinds of magic text at the same time at this time should refer to her who has half demon blood, but since she could remember, her mother had left the Kingdom of Hutton, so no one had taught her demon magic.
If it was because of her lack of ability that the key step of obtaining intelligence was stuck here, then she felt that she was dragging her feet again.
However, Hyperion remembered that Lanqi said that he had studied demon magic text, so she could still place a glimmer of hope on Lanqi.
"It's okay, I know a little bit."
As expected, Lanqi smiled and nodded, still as steady as ever, just like when he was in the painting classroom of difficulty 3 of the Demon Academy.
This familiar sense of security made her feel that this shadow world was stable again.
He was really omnipotent.
"Okay."
Soon, Hyperion nodded, and quickly stepped forward to take the book from the magic girl of the Cremorne Empire and gave it to Lanqi.
She knew that Lanqi was not suitable to get close to anyone else, and dangerous matters needed to be handled by her who had many life-saving abilities.
Lanqi took the book from Hyperion, thanked her like they usually did when they were in class together, and then flipped through the book without saying a word.
Unlike the previous Chamber of Commerce young master and the imperial noble girl magician, Lanqi's brows were always so relaxed, as if he was reading a leisurely afternoon storybook.
Generally speaking.
This kind of obscure magic book cannot be read in this state.
It is highly likely that they cannot understand it at all, so they can quickly flip through the pages one by one.
The psychological pressure of the crowd began to slowly increase again, and the dawn that was about to be seen seemed to be stuck by a stone brick.
Even if the detective can find out the identities of the two betrayers and complete [Mission Objective 1: Find the betrayer 0/2] when he comes back, the truly difficult core task in the shadow world has always been Mission Objective 2.
Large shadow worlds will operate in parallel with one open line and multiple hidden lines.
While all challengers are advancing the mission on the open line, the unknown hidden line will also operate silently over time, and changes that they are not aware of will occur.
Mission Objective 2 is often related to the hidden line plot.
If the content of the hidden line and the latest progress of the hidden line are not detected in time, and the initiative is not taken, it is likely that when they complete Mission Objective 1 and solve the puzzle, the shadow world will almost enter an irreversible rampage mode.
"What the power of the sun refers to is not explained even in this ancient book, but it probably means that it needs to be sealed during the day when there is sunlight."
When everyone felt helpless, Lan Qi's words suddenly popped up when he lowered his head to turn the book, making everyone look at him in surprise.
Can you really understand it?
Isn't it just making it up to comfort everyone's emotions?
This is everyone's first reaction.
"The power of the moon refers to werewolves, but the already rare wolf tribe is almost extinct in this era."
Lan Qi continued to say slowly,
"Werewolves will not be weakened during the day, but they can be strengthened under the moonlight. With strong regeneration, they may not lose to the blood tribe even if they fight alone all night."
"But 'regeneration' is ultimately inferior to 'immortality'. Over time, werewolves were slaughtered by the blood tribe, and the blood tribe became the only king of the night."
The "wolf tribe" mentioned by Lan Qi is a race that has been completely extinct in the present world, and there are few traces even in the ancient shadow world thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, which makes all challengers feel unfamiliar.
It turns out that this race was extinct because of the blood race.
Then how long ago was this shadow world that still had information about the wolf race?
Just by successfully clearing such an ultra-ancient shadow world, its academic value will probably cause huge waves among various societies, and the copyright value of the information contained in their [Shadow World Record Program] is even more difficult to estimate.
"What the star describes is a witch, the origin of human magic. It seems to refer to both demons and humans. I browsed through it briefly and found that the author of this book should be a witch."
At this point, Lan Qi closed the book in his hand.
For him, who has always practiced a mixture of demonic and human magic literature, he was surprisingly able to understand this magic book written in a magic literature that was in the process of evolution of demonic magic literature and human magic literature.
He hasn't looked at the specific magic part in detail yet, but only interpreted the information.
When the challengers in the library looked at each other doubtfully, they felt that Lan Qi's interpretation was mysterious and mysterious, and even doubted its authenticity.
[Mission Objective 2: Explore the secrets and crises hidden in the castle - hidden information has emerged, challengers are asked to protect the werewolf and witch. 】
…
Ikerite College, in Jera Memorial Square.
The clock in the ancient clock tower has just turned past twelve o'clock at the top. Accompanied by the echo of the twelve bells on the campus that have not completely dissipated, the open-air giant screen surrounded by many teaching buildings in the distance is showing the world of today's challenges. .
At this time, it was several times more lively than usual. Not only were the steps full of students, there were even many students passing by and staying on the surrounding roads.
"Isn't he making it up?"
"Strictly check people's registration!!"
Many students thought that Lan Qi was actually playing psychological warfare and making up random information.
I didn't expect him to really know how to do it.
The information of mission objective 2 has changed, which means the interpretation was successful.
Although many students in Icerite Academy have heard that Lan Qi knows the sealing technique, all he did in the registered card maker exam were sealing cards.
But why is this guy so skilled in demonic magic writing?
Too much of a demon spy!
…
Shadow World, in the library on the second floor of Lichtens Castle.
This ancient library seemed to stop breathing for a moment.
Several people around the central desk were still. Their eyes were fixed on the back of the magic book in Lan Qi's hand by the window. The expressions on their faces changed, from confusion to understanding, and then from understanding to shock, as if they could sense other people. My heartbeat is speeding up.
The challengers looked at each other, and their eyes met. Some of them moved their mouths slightly, as if they wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.
"Brother, you are not a half-demon, are you?"
The young master of the Chamber of Commerce looked at Lan Qi in surprise and amazement, breaking the silence, causing the male guard behind him to cough lightly.
This unscrupulous young man is not worried about offending the lawyer at all.
Generally speaking, it is easy to offend people in the Southern Continent if they suspect others of having demon blood.
This made Hyperion on the side feel particularly embarrassed.
She is the real half-demon.
But since she stayed with Lan Qi, no one has ever questioned her bloodline.
This was a feeling that Hyperion had never experienced before.
It's as if as long as Lan Qi's demonic light covers him, he will completely become a real human being.
"There is absolutely no question about my human ancestry. The priest can verify it for me."
Lan Qi smiled and replied without any concern.
Those who are clean will be clean by themselves.
Lan Qi has always believed in this truth.
He didn't explain much about why he did it.
"..."
This gives other people the impression that they know a little bit about everything and don’t need a reason.
Coupled with the aura about him, it makes sense.
"We believe you."
The priest spoke first and bowed briefly to Lan Qi.
No one did much research on Lan Qi, they just felt that besides the [Detective], this [Lawyer] was also a master.
Not only is he good at coordinating and calming everyone's emotions, he is also knowledgeable.
The ultra-progressive interpretation places a great burden on the betrayer's psychology.
"Then what is the relationship between werewolves and witches? Why should we protect them?"
The young master of the Chamber of Commerce still asked Lan Qi quite puzzled.
"The werewolf and the witch are obviously friends, because they are the key to sealing or unsealing the blood clan. The real purpose of the two betrayers in trapping us here is probably to find the werewolf and the witch among us. As for why The blood master who didn't call them might have something else to hide."
Lan Qi held the magic book and answered the questions for the students like a principal.
"As expected of Mr. Lawyer!"
The young master of the Chamber of Commerce had an epiphany and began to praise Lan Qi. He was now quite convinced of Lan Qi's ability as a bachelor. This temperament was exactly what he, who was always considered a stupid rich young man, had always desired but could not obtain.
At this point, all challengers already have an idea in their minds.
From the information revealed in Mission Objective 2, it is not difficult to further deduce a certain mission objective of the betrayer——
The challenger side wants to find the traitor [blood family member] hidden in the challenger.
The betrayer side wants to find the [Werewolf] and [Witch] hidden among the non-betrayers!
This mind game has escalated again for both parties.
At the moment when people are preparing to leave this place and return to the base level church hall.
In the midday sun by the curtains in the library.
Lan Qi stared at Hyperion beside him and felt her uneasiness.
"Lan Qi..."
Huparian met Lanqi's calm gaze, as if she was about to say something to him.
Lanqi just nodded slightly.
He signaled to her that he knew everything.
And there was no need to worry.
Even though Lanqi couldn't see her information panel, he guessed it.
She was the witch, and the most dangerous person in this shadow world.
That was a part of the witch's self-narration in the magic book that Lanqi didn't read out -
[I am neither a demon nor a human, but I will help and protect kind people, so please don't be afraid of me].
In that era called the Blood Moon Destruction.
The witch actually refers to the innate half-demon, and also the magician who will not be backlashed even if he uses immature human magic texts.
This shadow world will not be cracked day by day, and Principal Lan will catch someone soon!
