Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 724 The Collector of Broken Memories

In fact, Lauren did not gain anything.

The Golden Capital did not give him the Origin Crystal, but he got a strange broken crystal.The strong Youye attribute made him clearly realize that this was not an open reward for this battle.

"Anyway, let's find a place where no one is around first."

Due to the lack of supplies, the adventurers would not leave the camp easily, and Laurent also planned to find a quiet place to study the meaning of this special broken crystal.So after the battle, Laurent quietly stayed away from the group of adventurers and headed towards a quite remote area.

"My lady didn't find anything special. 』

Although Rachel is only a terminal carrier for the time being, she is still doing her best to help Lauren.Although Laurent did not want to rely on her, he would not refuse her help.Although the two cannot talk in a normal way for the time being, it is enough for now.

"Actually, this is most likely a message from You Ye, or it may just be me being sentimental."

"Sigh... I really don't know what to say to you, young lady." 』

Lauren held the broken crystal and slowly found a hidden place.This is not a route that adventurers often take, and there are some monsters wandering nearby, but it is a pretty good place for him.

There seemed to be some illusion shaking in the silvery-white crystal in his hand.Lauren was silent for a while, then decisively crushed the crystal with his hands and absorbed the power into his body.

Then, a broken scene appeared around him.

"here it is……"

The scene in the illusion was fragmented, and the surroundings were almost completely dark except for himself.The ground beneath my feet didn't feel very solid, and it didn't seem very stable.However, the surrounding gravel soon formed a path in front of Laurent, seeming to urge him to take steps.

As he took steps forward, the ground behind him shattered.The dark illusion seemed to be shattered at any time, but Laurent only felt a hint of uneasiness.

【I am the one who is expected. 】

A voice that seemed very far away, yet quite familiar, reached Lauren's ears.He looked in the direction where the sound came from, but saw the illusory back of what looked like a girl.

[I am the family’s expectation. I will hone my strength in this academy, and then...]

That was indeed the girl he knew, but the illusion that appeared here seemed to be just a part of her memory.

[Although I haven't officially enrolled yet, I have already made quite friendly friends. Maybe I won't have to spend these years alone. 】

"Is this, her memory before entering the academy?"

The girl's phantom kept changing positions, and Laurent slowly moved forward following the place where she appeared.Each illusion only appears for a brief moment, leaving only a few words.But these precious memories were something that the original Lauren had no way of knowing.

[Why, Luwena pays so much attention to that person?But he does have something... Interesting. 】

Lauren knew who the girl was referring to, but now he could only smile bitterly.He never knew about these things, and he never had the opportunity to have a serious conversation with the girl.

If there is a chance this time, he also has something he really wants to say to her.

[But when I realized it, I found that his figure was all in my eyes. 】

[I don’t know how to talk to him, and I don’t want my good friend to have other ideas. 】

[What kind of feeling is this? 】

The confused voice echoed in the dark illusion, but before Lauren could continue walking, the door to leave the illusion appeared in front of his eyes.

There is only so much of this broken memory.

"Why did I get something like this?"

Stepping into the radiant door, Lauren's consciousness returned to reality.There were no changes in the surroundings, and time didn't even flow at all, but he did see the memory of that girl—and also got a skill that belonged to her.

"What are you doing?" 』

"It's nothing, I just remembered something."

The broken crystal has disappeared, but Lauren did not find nothing.The sword skills hidden in the crystal, which should only belong to that girl, have been completely integrated into his body along with the crystal.

"It seems like I have to participate in a few more events like this."

Maybe he can see more memories next time. Although Laurent didn't want to pry into the girl's privacy, since the Golden City gave this memory to him, maybe this is what the other party thought.

Roar--

The monsters wandering around noticed the energy fluctuations and broke into Lauren's field of vision.Laurent, on the other hand, took off the silver-white sword from his waist without hesitation and held it tightly in his hand.

"Okay, don't be noisy."

His body assumed a stance that it had never seen before, as if preparing to parry an opponent's attack, or preparing to attack.This special skill is not learned through exercise, but is already integrated into the body's instinct.

The huge monster roared and rushed towards the tiny prey. It did not feel the slightest threat. There was nothing about the human holding the knife in one hand that would make it feel scared. It seemed as if it could just wave its claws gently. Then human beings will directly fall into pieces.

The sharp claws of the beast were swung down, and the human being turned into countless fragments. However, the movement of the monster stopped abruptly at this moment.What was shattered by it was just an illusion of residual light, and the human had arrived behind it at some point, and even hung the long knife in his hand back on his waist quite easily.

"It seems that's all."

The phantom of light and shadow is like the moon in the mirror, the huge body of the monster is suddenly split into two, and it instantly turns into mist and dissipates.On the other hand, Lauren spread his hands lazily, as if nothing had happened just now.

"This is... Ah Jing's sword skill?" 』

"Self-taught, I guess."

After making a casual remark, Laurent turned his gaze to the sky.The sky rolling like a black tide would strike fear into most people, but Laurent was not looking at the source of that fear.

A certain being who was also watching him was hiding behind the black curtain wall, waiting for him to prove once again that he had the qualifications to communicate with it.Before meeting the girl, he also hoped to find more of her lost memories.

The things that I once ignored must not be missed again this time.
