Chapter 136
Like the god of death walking in the darkness, raising his scythe.
"You're here, Li Cheng."
At the door of the hall on the first floor, Professor Typhon opened the door with a smile.
"professor."
"No need to be polite, it's not class time now." Typhon waved his hand: "When I am alone, I don't like lighting all the emblem stone lanterns. Although the college's resource reserves are sufficient, the abyss is too strong. It’s tight, if you can save a little, just save a little.”
As he spoke, he stamped his feet.
The lights in the promenade came on.
"It doesn't matter. Professor, I don't like places that are too bright either."
Li Cheng showed his signature sunny smile and followed him.
"The pensieve is an important relic of the Sage's Academy. It has many effects. It can clean pollution, remove memories, cleanse the mind, and even predict the future." Typhon explained: "But in contrast, the credits required to use it are quite a lot. "
"Depending on the usage requirements, at least 50 credits are required to get the opportunity to use it."
"But this time." Typhon turned his head and blinked: "Old man, I took it upon myself to help you for free, but be careful not to let other teachers know, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it."
"Of course, Professor." Li Cheng quickly replied: "Thank you."
"Well, we're here."
It seemed that Typhon was in a good mood because of Li Cheng's respectful attitude.
He pushed open the door at the deepest part of the Sage's Courtyard, and a bright blue light suddenly caught Li Cheng's eyes.
It was the light of the fire.
In the center of the six-pointed star's ritual array, there is a huge brazier that can accommodate a dozen people.
Flames rose from the center of the brazier, along the veins of the six-pointed star, and lit up the entire room.
This is the only relic of the Sage's Academy - the Pensieve.
"Okay, let's let Jerel out. It's very late, old man, I'm done with this, so it's time to go to bed."
"Okay, Professor."
Li Cheng nodded, and as soon as his mind moved, the little pink bat appeared in the palm of his hand.
I don't know if it's because of the anger, but until this moment, this little bat still maintains a X_X appearance, with no sign of waking up.
"Oh, he slept comfortably, but it saved the effort of subduing him." Typhon smiled, waved his wand in his hand, and recited a few prayers.
The blue flames in the Pensieve slowly turned into pure black.
"Okay, let's put him in."
"Yes, Professor." Li Cheng nodded.
As soon as Jerry entered the brazier, he transformed from a bat into a human form. His charming body wrapped in a robe kept twisting, and an expression of fear and pupils appeared on his face.
"This is the soul-burning fire, damn bastard!"
"You two, you two want to destroy my soul, ah!"
"Let me go, let me go!"
"Typhon, you old thing, you..."
"Noisy." Typhon frowned and cast a silencing spell to silence the world.
Then, he waved the magic circle twice more, and the deep black fire that burned everything appeared, and a space that could accommodate one person appeared.
"Li Cheng, go there." Typhon said: "Build the connection between you and Jerry Zi, and shape her new soul according to your ideas."
"Well, it's better to be faster. This technique consumes a lot of money on me."
"Okay, Professor." Li Cheng nodded, paused and asked, "But I have a question."
"Oh? What's the problem?"
"Excuse me..." Li Cheng turned his head and showed a sunny smile: "Why are you using the refining function of the Pensieve instead of the reshaping function?"
"Do you want to help me reshape Jerry's soul, or do you want to..."
"Kill me?"
His voice was not loud, and his tone was not strong, but the kind smile on Typhon's face gradually faded, and was replaced by inexplicable surprise.
"Li Cheng, what are you talking about? Why would I want to kill you? You are the future of Destiny Continent!"
"Professor, actually I doubted you in the morning." Li Cheng smiled warmly: "Yes, Jerel wanted to target me, but what he put into the summoning array was not an abyss. It’s a magic circle, but a spell that affects the results of the summoning circle.”
"He just wants me to summon a weak heroic spirit to kill my majesty, that's all."
"The slave contract circle in the abyss was placed in it by you, Professor."
"What are you talking about?" Typhon frowned: "I don't understand what you are talking about at all, what slave contract circle?"
"The function of that formation is to allow me, as a summoned object, to sign a slave contract with the master of the formation and become his slave." Li Cheng smiled: "Professor, this is a very advanced abyss ritual."
"So that's it." Typhon suddenly realized: "So, you used some method to counter this contract and became the master of the person who set up the formation?"
"So, you turned Jerrel into your slave? Li Cheng, you are worthy of it."
"Professor, your acting skills are really good. I was almost moved to tears." Li Cheng teased: "Now, you can still pour dirty water on Jerry Zi in a serious manner. You are also awesome."
"Li Cheng, what are you talking about?" Typhon frowned: "Since Jerel has been subdued by you, doesn't it just mean that he is the one who murdered you?"
"Hehe, professor, if you didn't do anything." Li Cheng narrowed his eyes: "In the afternoon class, you raised the magic wand twice and cast spells twice."
"The first time, you activated the abyss magic in the ritual array. The second time, after my counter magic happened, you transferred the ownership of that magic to Jerrel through prayer."
As he said, Li Cheng took out a magic book from his arms: "The magic used is the magic recorded in this book, your own magic, Huishi Transfer."
[Huishi Transfer: From the perspective of cause and effect, the user of a certain magic is forcibly transformed into another person, thereby exempting the cost of magic. ]
[Inventor: Typhon. ]
[Evaluation of the Sage Academy: Good magic, but too limited, the effect can only be applied to magic below level 4. 】
"Haha, Li Cheng, your imagination is good, but too good." Typhon spread his hands: "This is indeed my early work, but it has too many limitations. The abyss magic you mentioned cannot be transferred by my spell."
"That's because you didn't put the perfected spell in the academy." Li Cheng interrupted him: "Haha, at the beginning, you used this magic, together with the Holy See, to transfer the price of resisting the forbidden spell of the abyss, the dawn has come, to your confidant, the monarch of the Red Moon Empire, Latania's father."
"The invasion of the abyss was terminated, and the monarch of the Red Moon and even the entire empire were severely damaged."
"The Order Church, which colluded with you, took this opportunity to disguise itself as a cultist of the Abyss and attacked the Red Moon Empire, triggering the night of genocide."
Li Cheng's voice was loud and clear.
And the disguise that had always been on Typhon's face was completely gone.
He chuckled: "What else do you know?"
Chapter 139 Shura Field
"That's all I know."
Li Cheng smiled gently and sunny.
This information is not the information that appeared in the PC version. In the original version, only the background story mentioned the relationship between Typhon and Master Tata's father.
There is no clear statement about the night of the blood clan's genocide. It is only said that the Order Church weakened the Red Moon Royal Court through some means and launched a surprise attack.
And the "truth" that Li Cheng just said is all the information he inferred after finding Typhon's magic book in the library.
Before coming to the Sage's Academy, he couldn't even be sure of the authenticity of this information, nor could he be sure that the person who attacked him was Typhon.
But fortunately, he has the ability to regenerate and trace back, and he can "take risks" to determine the accuracy of the information.
Do you understand the value of Jiraiya who can't die!
However, Li Cheng really didn't expect that the dean of the Sage's Academy, the ninth-level white magician Typhon who is famous throughout the continent, was also corrupted by the abyss.
If this wasn't a game, but reality...
I'm afraid that Tianming Continent doesn't have any chance of winning at all...
What a despairing world.
"Haha, Li Cheng, haha, you are much smarter than I thought, really..." Typhon stared at Li Cheng, his mouth slightly grinning, his voice getting louder and louder: "I really didn't expect that the first person to notice that I had a problem was you."
"Then, professor, can you tell me why?"
Li Cheng frowned, this was also what he couldn't figure out.
He carefully recalled Typhon's character story, and flipped through his files in the school's archives.
But he still couldn't find the reason why Typhon betrayed Full Moon Academy and the strange abyss.
Is it just a desire for power?
"Reason... hehe, reason, the reason is of course... this fucked up world." Typhon laughed, tears suddenly fell down his old and decayed cheeks: "My daughter, only the abyss can save her."
"What a cliché reason." Li Cheng smacked his lips uninterested: "I thought there would be more interesting reasons."
"Cliché? You call this cliché?" Typhon looked at Li Cheng with a ferocious look on his face: "What if I tell you that my daughter is actually my mother!"
"What the hell?" Li Cheng was speechless.
"Hehe." Typhon clenched his fists: "My daughter actually has no blood relationship with me. She came to me on her own because she is the reincarnation of my mother, and she recognized me! This is why I have been doing research on reincarnations."
"But this relationship cannot be explained, so I call her my daughter in front of outsiders."
"...6."
Li Cheng thought for a long time and came up with this word.
"No one else knows about this, and my mother, after coming back, resolutely joined the Abyss Expeditionary Force and became a pioneer. She made great contributions to protecting this world, but what was the result?"
"She lost her limbs and eyes in the battle of Night City, and her soul was eaten away until only a wisp was left. She could neither live nor die."
"Huh... this part is more normal." Li Cheng commented.
"Haha, yes, it is indeed a cliché story. In war, it is normal for people to die. My daughter, oh no, it should be my mother who at least saved her life." Typhon smiled self-deprecatingly: "So, I don't hate the expeditionary force, nor do I hate that war."
"What about you?"
"What I hate is that they could have restored my mother's body, and could have allowed her to stand up again and see the world!"
Typhon raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of bloodshot:
"But they gave that opportunity to another person, just because..."
"That person is the princess of the Destiny Court!"
"My mother is smarter, stronger, more talented, and more outstanding than her. According to the expeditionary force's priority rescue criteria, my mother should be saved."
"But in the end, it was that woman who was saved!"
"And those bastards, in order to facilitate all this, actually threw my mother... back into the abyss."
"And no one even told me all this, no one told me...The princess of the court took away my mother's chance to live again."
"I traced it little by little, until the end, and then I learned the truth from the fleeing expeditionary force..."
Typhon took out his wand, waved it and chanted a spell, and the dark flames gathered behind him.
"From that moment on, I understood that the bullshit fight for the Destiny Continent and the bullshit saving the world were all fake."
"They are not worth saving at all, not worth saving..."
This is a new plot, a little interesting... Li Cheng raised his eyebrows: "So, the Abyss promised you that if you help him, he would save your mother, right?"
"Yes, I just want my mother to be alive, and what happens to this world has nothing to do with me." Typhon smiled with a sigh: "So, I'm sorry, Li Cheng."
"I really admire you. If I hadn't seen the truth of this world, I would have taught you everything I have learned in my life."
"But now, it's too late, everything is too late."
"Sleep, sleep here, thank you."
The dark flames condensed into a giant dragon and rushed towards Li Cheng.
The terrifying power swept over him, and the pain in his soul made him frown.
The gap between the third level and the ninth level is comparable to that of two species, and Typhon is cautious by nature. He used all his strength from the beginning and did not give Li Cheng any chance to resist.
His body was torn apart and annihilated bit by bit in this hurricane.
