All Heavens: Sharing Talents with Countless Mes

His brain began to work frantically.

"Is there white smoke on the surface of that monster's body?"

"According to the original plot, Mr. Durant and his companions probably encountered problems after they unearthed an ancient ruin."

Thinking of this, Chu Yang couldn't help but say, "They must have unearthed that area of ​​ruins or relics, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that monster made of white smoke must have emerged from the ruins and chased them all the way to the outside world."

Upon hearing Chu Yang's guess, Miss Xiu's eyes lit up.

"You're right."

"I barely managed to shake off their pursuit. Of course, I used some special methods along the way. I used some backup plans that the dragon left on me."

When it came to the end, Miss Hugh seemed very hesitant.

In fact, if she hadn't been in such dire straits back then, she would never have so easily used the things left behind by that dragon.

Having followed Chu Yang for so long, she had long since realized that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Therefore, if you enjoy the convenience provided by the other party, you must bear the consequences that may arise at any time.

Therefore, there's no need to hide this from Chu Yang.

What do you mean by "backup plan"?

Chu Yang's expression immediately became extremely serious.

He always felt that this matter was more bizarre and troublesome than those so-called white smoke monsters.

"Actually, I don't know too much."

A bitter smile appeared on Miss Hugh's face, and then she shook her head slightly.

"I led Mr. Durant's family through that ordeal, but we were trapped in a small village."

"I thought many times that the white smoke monster was going to devour us all, but it seemed very scared, and I didn't want to get close to its body."

"He just kept me trapped like that, not wanting me to escape that area."

"In the moment of crisis, I could only take the hastily prepared potion and quickly advance to the next level."

"Later I found the monster's weakness."

Miss Xiu had only gone this far when Chu Yang couldn't help but shake his head, "I guess you didn't actually manage to exploit that weakness at all."

That white smoke monster came from those ruins.

In a sense, those ruins are entirely relics of an era.

It's impossible for a newly promoted Miss Hugh to find the monster's true weakness.

"Later, when I was desperate, I was rescued by a mysterious lady."

As Miss Hugh said this, a look of gratitude appeared on her face.

"The mysterious lady? Do you know her identity?"

Chu Yang couldn't help but frown and ask.

He didn't believe such a coincidence could exist in the world.

"I don't know her real identity, but the woman's attire was very peculiar."

"Her attire, in some ways, is the same style as the ancient coin you found."

"The lady looked very beautiful, with long hair, but the dress she was wearing had two completely different colors."

"The pattern on the left looks very simple and beautiful, while the one on the right is a different color and has an extremely wide variety of patterns."

"The combination of these two highly contrasting decorative elements creates a very contradictory feeling."

"Did you know? That lady was wearing shoes, and each one of them was different."

Miss Hugh's expression became unusually strange.

She didn't even know how to evaluate the woman she had met before.

"Such a peculiar style of dress? It seems to be the style of other empires."

A thoughtful expression appeared on Chu Yang's face.

Just as he guessed, the lady who suddenly appeared to rescue Miss Hugh probably also came from the ruins.

"There's another thing. The lady's method of subduing the monster was also very peculiar. She took out a bottle and all the white smoke was collected inside the bottle."

"Then she waved her hand in front of me and pulled a very faint light out of my head."

"After that light left me, I felt much lighter. I had a feeling that the light was left to me by that dragon."

Miss Hugh has no regrets at all.

Because she never felt that what she obtained from the dragon was good.

"If I'm not mistaken, the dragon gave that thing to you so that you could pass it on to that lady."

Chu Yang was completely relieved.

Many important figures in this world like to do things indirectly.

Or rather, they prefer to choose a spokesperson and then use the spokesperson's movements to transfer goods or achieve their goals.

"Just like you guessed, that's how the lady explained it to me."

"She even gave me a reward for handing over something—a potion recipe to advance me to the next rank, though she didn't give me the ingredients."

Miss Hugh immediately produced a rather old-looking sheepskin.

Sheepskin also comes in two distinct styles and colors.

It was written with two rather strange-looking characters.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yang's lips twitched involuntarily.

Because the text above is also divided into two types, this is precisely the style of that particular imperial period.

Everything is rendered in two completely different styles, using highly contrasting colors.

"It seems my guess was right after all; that woman really did come from that special ancient empire."

"Except for that particular period, I doubt anyone would use two completely different and highly conflicting languages ​​to record something on a parchment."

Chu Yang even thought that the people in that empire probably had something wrong with their brains.

Otherwise, how could such a unique style have been formed?

"By the way, Hugh, while you were with Mr. Durant, did you ask them what they had dug up or seen in that ruin?"

Chu Yang immediately asked.

Although the original story also records the period of that ruin.

However, many things are naturally clearer to those who have personally experienced them.

"I also asked him, but Mr. Durant didn't know much. He just heard some strange words and phrases."

"According to his account, he immediately forgot many words after leaving the ruins."

"But some ancient words were still firmly imprinted in his mind."

Then Miss Xiu handed over the few ancient words she had memorized to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang immediately recognized some of the content from the original story at a glance.

His inner suspicions about certain things became clearer.

"Perhaps fate really is always present."

"When I chose the White Tower as my code name within the Tarot Club, my fate was destined to be intertwined with those in the Witch and Arbitrator sequences."

"And of course, there's the Hunter's special sequence."

This thought suddenly popped into Chu Yang's mind.

Of course, this kind of thing is not necessarily a bad thing for him.

After all, this means that some people or characters from the original story will come to him on their own initiative. This can also make his later developments smoother.

"By the way, Chu Yang, after all these things, my entanglement with the dragon should come to an end."

"I really don't want to get involved with such important figures."

Miss Hugh asked rather nervously.

She just wanted to find out what exactly happened to her father back then.

She had no desire to associate with truly important people.

Otherwise, as time goes by, she might be killed in some unknown corner at some unknown moment.

"I think it's completely over."

Chu Yang was also somewhat unsure of what was going on inside.

After all, those god-level beings have never had any principles in doing things.

Of course, this was to prevent any problems from arising for his good friend, Miss Shy.

He decided that the next time he went to the Tarot Club, he would try his best to introduce Hugh to Mr. Fool Klein.

With Klein's involvement, Miss Hugh's fate becomes increasingly unpredictable.

At least those guys on the side of the gods won't be able to influence Miss Hugh easily.

The two then exchanged information about the recent situation.

Chu Yang also recounted everything that had happened to him without reservation.

Of course, matters involving deities should not be discussed in too much detail.

Therefore, Miss Hugh understood that the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess would also send experts here.

Moreover, those experts are comparable to the top experts in the military.

"It would be great if someone could clean up the mess."

Miss Hugh immediately breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

She felt incredibly uneasy just thinking about facing those unknown enemies with Chu Yang.

After all, those two witches were the kind of people who dared to confront the Military Intelligence Bureau head-on and were never caught.

"You're overthinking it. This matter is no easier to resolve than that white smoke you encountered."

Chu Yang also shook his head slightly.

After exchanging a brief exchange of information, the two parted ways.

For the next two days, Chu Yang stayed quietly inside the studio.

In his spare time, he also helped Manhattan with some detective-related matters.

Just as he was about to go out for a stroll, Manhattan suddenly called out to him.

Chu Yang looked at his teacher with great surprise.

Manhattan has taken on several cases during this period, involving people at various levels.

Manhattan is so busy that it's hard to even easily go home.

I suddenly need to talk to him today.

"Have you forgotten that a new party is about to start?"

"Do you want to come tonight?"

Manhattan knew perfectly well that such gatherings were beneficial to the extraordinary.

He would naturally not forget his students about such a good thing.

"Teacher, do you think I can find the Emerald Green Mother Tree Heart at tonight's party?"

Chu Yang asked with great anticipation.

"If you're only going to attend parties overseas for something like this, there's really no need to go."

"It's not because this thing is so unusual, but because I've been looking for it for years, and even I haven't found it yet."

Manhattan said with a look of utter helplessness.

The relevant materials pertaining to promotion to the next rank.

If it really happens, he will definitely not give in easily, even if the competitor is his own student.

Chu Yang couldn't help but shake his head bitterly.

The main material for advancing to the next rank is the heartwood of the Emerald Mother Tree, a fact he had already told his teacher before leaving Backlund.

He originally thought that with his extensive network of contacts in Manhattan, he would be able to collect the material very quickly.

If everything goes well, you can even sell him the extra materials.

Who knew that after so much time had passed, his teacher still hadn't made any progress.

"It seems that the value of this item far exceeds my expectations."

"I really miss that vampire elder; their treasure vault should have something like this."

Chu Yang couldn't help but let his thoughts wander.

However, he doesn't need to be in a hurry right now.

After all, it will be some time before he can fully digest what's inside his body.

What he needs to do most is to adhere to the duties of a detective and adapt his role-playing techniques.

"Teacher, I think I'll still attend the gathering tonight. It'll be a good opportunity to recoup some funds."

Chu Yang finally decided to go.

Of course, he needed to prepare some special talismans before that.

This way you can also earn more gold pounds, and if you come across anything good, you can keep it for yourself.

Besides, it's always good to broaden one's horizons by going with one's teacher.

Just as Chu Yang was about to leave, he suddenly heard a knock on the living room door.

Then a servant in uniform came in to announce that a guest had arrived.

The visitor was a gentleman who looked to be nearly forty years old.

The gentleman was dressed like a gentleman and even had a walking stick in his hand.

So Chu Yang had no choice but to stay by his teacher's side and prepare to receive the guests.

After all, he was already Manhattan's officially recognized disciple.

He also needs to receive such a formal visitor as a sign of courtesy.

He even went to another room to tidy up his clothes.

Upon entering the living room, the visiting gentleman was already seated on the sofa.

The gentleman had light blond hair and was dressed in a formal uniform.

His face was slightly yellowish, and it was clear that he wasn't in very good health.

However, his temperament is quite remarkable, even somewhat forceful.

Chu Yang exchanged a few words with the guest in a polite manner.

"Mr. Frank, is there any task you have entrusted to my teacher during your visit?"

Chu Yang ultimately decided to get straight to the point.

Mr. Frank smiled very politely, “I know Mr. Manhattan has been busy with a series of cases lately, so he’s been very busy.”

"That's why I'm here to see you. I know you've already gained Mr. Manhattan's approval and can take on tasks independently."

Hearing these clearly complimentary remarks, Chu Yang felt a chill run down his spine. (End of Chapter)
