Chapter 39: Death of The Poet (4)

Magic was a subject that was neither difficult nor easy. Tang Cuo closed his eyes, practised based on the Moonlight Meditation Techniques as taught in the book and successfully perceived the magical elements that existed in his surrounding space.

Unlike the natural awakening of special ability users, a wizard paid attention to elemental affinity. There were so many types of magic, and the type that had a higher affinity with the wizard would be easier to absorb, and spells of that type could be released faster.

Tang Cuo tried to feel his surroundings but found that the magic elements within his space stayed distant. If magic elements could manifest their emotions, their expression should be the same as Tang Cuos, which was no expression.

The magic elements were absorbed into his body and turned into magic energy.

Ten minutes later, Tang Cuo sensed that an equal amount of each element had gathered in his body, and they continued to be expressionless. He added all the points to his Strength value, while his Intelligence stayed at 0. Even with his foundation, he didnt have much capacity to hold magic energy. Now that he had to divide his capacity into different types, he had no idea whether each type had stored enough energy to even cast a spell.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

As he completed this step, the next thing that awaited him was spell casting.

Magic spells felt jarring and awkward. Even though simple entry-level spells were very short with only a few syllables, as soon as Tang Cuo opened his mouth, the magic energy in his body began to surge and made his head hurt slightly.

His face remained unchanged as he tried a few more times, intermittently chanting a Fireball spell.

As his voice fell, a small fireball appeared in front of him and shook a few times. With a pop, it appeared, then with another pop, it disappeared.

Tang Cuo looked down at the wand in his hand with no expression on his face.

This wand made of walnut wood was taken by Jin Cheng from the magic store. His fireball disappearing so quickly must be because of this low-quality wand.

So he conjured a fireball again, and this time he clearly felt that his magic elements were not active at all. They were passive and lazy, and they went on strike the moment they got summoned. [T/N: Wow, Tang Cuo, your genes are passed down to even the magic elements, arent you proud? ()]

Hearing the sound, Jin Cheng looked up from the book and met his eyes. Tang Cuo looked at him quietly and wanted to hear what the instructor had to say.

Jin Cheng said: Your fireball is very bright.

Tang Cuo:

When Jin Cheng finally learnt of Tang Cuos issue, he didnt comment much and just said: Indeed close combat suits you better.

Tang Cuo squinted: Are you laughing at me inside?

Jin Cheng: Dont you know that its a crime to slander your instructor?

Tang Cuo: Yong Ye City doesnt have this crime.

Tsk, this little bastard is getting more and more difficult to fool.

Jin Cheng closed the book and said: Did you never read fantasy books before? The male protagonist is just like you, a versatile wizard who cannot specialise in any single type. Everyone thinks he is useless, laughs at him, insults him, and they all get counter-attacked badly. After that, he climbs to the pinnacle of life.

Tang Cuo:

What Jin Cheng didnt say was that Yong Ye City circulated this saying regarding all those versatile wizards and special ability users From afar, they look fierce; coming closer, they are flimsier than a piece of paper.

Tang Cuo knew that all his climbs to the pinnacle of life was bullshit. But he never intended to be a wizard when he first came here, so he didnt feel disappointed for now.

Have you found the bookmark? He asked.

Not yet, but I have seen Lancelots name on many borrowing cards. Jin Cheng pulled out one of them with two fingers and threw it to Tang Cuo.

Tang Cuo caught it, glanced through the names, turned to the back and found a line of writing.

[When I grow up, I must find the most beautiful flower in the world and bring it back to the Kingdom Hidden In The Moonlight.]

The writing looked exactly the same as Lancelots signature, and it seemed to be relatively old. It should have been written when he was studying here. Had the wish of the bard Lancelot finally come true?

Tang Cuo couldnt help looking out the window, at the white rose blooming in the moonlight.

For the time being, they werent sure if Lancelots message on the borrowing card was useful or not. Jin Cheng then quickly flipped through the remaining books and eventually found Eves bookmark.

It was sandwiched in one of those books about travelling, and a line of writing was also found on the bookmark.

[If you want to be a great adventurer, you must be brave, Eve.]

The small characters werent neatly arranged and the handwriting was rather crooked, and there were even typos. This seemed like a message that Eve wrote to herself, or it might be something she hid in her heart and never told others.

She was a child born in the desert who yearned to explore the boundless continent and wanted to be an adventurer. It was precisely because of this that the bookmark was clipped in a travelling book.

Boom! The fireworks blossomed again and both of them looked up. It was truly stunning.

At the same time, at Yong Ye Citys prison in Zone G.

Due to a series of disturbances in Zone F, the usually half-occupied prison suddenly saw itself more than eighty percent filled. If one person glanced at another, it was likely that they knew each other.

And because the prison wasnt divided according to the zones that the players belonged to, the elites of Zone A had to mingle with the people whom they liked to call garbage of Zone F. Everyone stayed in the same room and ate the same food, no one more noble than the other.

Jiang He and Chen Liu, both members of Heavens Will, were put next to each other, and The Great Mage Leng Miao and two familiar players in Zone A were also in the same spot. As for Chong Yanzhang and the puppeteer Yao Qing, they were placed a little further away.

As players from Zone F and other zones were mixed with this group of big bosses, all of them shrank in the corner, wishing they could become invisible. However, Zone G only had single-person cells, so the big bosses stayed gloomy and had no intention of making any move.

Jiang Hes room was at the end of the corridor, with the wall on the right and Chen Liu on the left. Diagonally across from him was Leng Miao, and directly opposite him was a barefoot girl.

The little girl was lying on the ground with her back facing him, her whole body curling up. She wore a funny green dinosaur head on her head, as if it had been torn from some other clothes.

Jiang He had been watching her, because since the point he entered the prison, the little girl hadnt moved at all, and there was dried blood all over her clothes. He looked at her for a long time before he realised that it was a hospital gown.

Chen Liu had been rambling so much nonsense that Jiang He wanted to kill him.

Jiang He, tell me the truth, did you see through Jin Chengs plan very early on? You did it on purpose, didnt you?

Have you been holding a grudge against me all this while, thus you deliberately kept quiet so that I would fall into his trap. If youre like that, I

Jiang He finally couldnt stand it any more and said in a deep voice: You deserve it?

Chen Liu gasped heavily and stood up. He couldnt see Jiang He through the wall, but it didnt stop him from pouring his anger. Jiang He, dont think I dont know what youre planning. You just want to be the second in command, dont you? Have you looked at your position? If you join halfway, what do you have to fight against me?

Hearing that, Jiang He closed his eyes and suddenly lost his line of thought.

Chen Liu continued to be aggressive: Why dont you answer? Are you guilty? Oh, let me tell you, Jiang He, if Im still here, dont you dare play any tricks! Do you think that youre the only smart one here? Were you not fooled around by Jin Cheng?

Before he could finish his words, a magic attack suddenly struck from the opposite cell, passing through the iron railing and decidedly trying to cut his arm. Chen Liu quickly dodged, then his infuriated eyes shot to the other side and met with Leng Miaos. He suddenly held himself back.

Youre so noisy. Leng Miao said with an icy cold expression.

Chen Liu let go of his arm and stopped talking. If Chong Yanzhang wasnt here, he wouldnt dare to confront Leng Miao.

Leng Miao didnt want to talk to this stupid man either, and he gazed attentively at Jiang He, feeling extremely irritated inside. This annoyance wasnt aimed at Jiang He but in fact Jin Cheng. He lost it just now because Chen Liu mentioned Jin Cheng again.

The smell in the cell wasnt good, and the stench of blood from next door had probably been there for several days. It was so strong that it made him want to throw up.

Leng Miao didnt want to bear it anymore, so he raised his hand and conjured an Air Cage to seal up the cell next door. With this Air Cage, he finally felt more comfortable, even though all this might just be a trick on his mind.

After a while, Jiang He suddenly looked over and said: If you do this, the person in it will die of hypoxia.

Leng Miao sneered: Are you having pity on her?

Jiang He: I just thought that for The Great Mage Leng Miao, even if you lust after the [Twelve Movements], youre not someone who casually kills other players for fun.

Heavens Will poisoned the entire Zone F and sent loads of people to prison, and youre here talking to me about this?

Poisoning is just putting them in jail. But killing here is really killing.

Jiang Hes tone was flat, as if it was just a blatant fact.

Chen Lius arm was trembling with pain, and when he heard what Jiang He said, he gritted his teeth in fury. This was what he hated the most about Jiang He. In the face of anyone, he was neither too humble nor too arrogant. Chong Yanzhang also said that he carried the aura of a general. When they went against Jin Cheng this time, Jiang He was the first to object the moment Chen Liu proposed to use BS101.

They were all seasoned players of Zone A and knew each other. Whats with this moral high ground? So hypocritical, so revolting.

Chen Liu only hoped that Leng Miao would also hate such a hypocritical person. This man had a notoriously cold temper and few people could please him.

But Leng Miao took a deep look at Jiang He and actually withdrew the Air Cage. Jiang He nodded to him, but neither side spoke again.

Chen Liu fell down in exasperation, his face turning all blue. But he didnt dare to question Leng Miao. He cast a wrathful look at the little girl to find that she suddenly coughed and her body twitched, but soon she went silent again.

Ding ding ding An electric bell suddenly rang.

Chen Lius heart thumped and he immediately forgot about the little girl, because If the electric bell rang, the warden would make a round.

The nightmare of Zone Gs prison had come again.
