I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 580 All Men Are Liars (4000 words)

How do I know?
Of course, it's because you're such a bad actress, you female PhD in biology.

Have you put all your skill points into being a hopeless romantic and good at scientific research? Maybe you should watch a couple of palace dramas to refresh your mind?
I've said "Blue Star" so many times, if you were Adrian, how could you not have any reaction at all?

Are you treating Earth as some kind of sub-planet?

Furthermore, after learning that Adrian was also a human from Earth, I already suspected that the encrypted package contained someone else's spirituality, not Adrian's. How could I possibly be fooled by your acting skills, which are even worse than Liu Feifei's and Yang Mi's?

Moreover, your spiritual state is right here, it can already be materialized.

This is a power only legends possess!

So, who exactly are you? Is there any suspense left?

Yuzu! Didn't you say that what's sealed inside couldn't possibly be Rishia?
Come out and take your beating!

Until he discovered that Adrian was also a human from Earth, Fang Yu always believed that the mysterious encrypted package in the Mirror of Volgin contained the will of Adrian Akani.

The encryption method used in this arcane encryption package is extremely complex.

A significant portion of them are very similar to the RSA encryption principle on Earth.

At first, Fang Yu thought it was a case of different paths leading to the same goal in the fields of arcane arts and technology, and it was not surprising that a similar encryption concept would emerge from an arcane civilization that had lasted for tens of thousands of years.

But in the end, he discovered that Adrian was actually a time traveler!
A transmigrator who traveled from Earth to the main plane!
Adrian happened to have some experience in the field of algorithms when he was on Earth.

In other words, it is highly likely that Adrian designed the encryption algorithm for this seal himself.

Since it was designed by itself, why would it seal itself away?
The fact that Adrian could seal her away in such a complicated way, combined with the cheesy love letter he wrote to Lycia, in which he asked Lycia to come to Kornclay to find him, is quite remarkable.

Based on all known conditions, the possibility that the encrypted package sealed Lisia's consciousness is far greater than that of Adrian.

But Yuzu completely disagreed with this speculation.

Licia is a legend!
Regarding Fang Yu's speculation, Youzi believes that Fang Yu completely misunderstands what a legend means, which is why he made such an outrageous guess.

As a legendary Archmage of level 29, one of the three giants of the Life School, a member of the Arcane Federation Council, a member of the Society Committee, the director of several Arcane Research Centers, and the honorary president of hundreds of research associations...

Although Lysia is still far behind the Sorcerer Supreme and Sekalis, the creator of Yuzu, she is still a figure at the pinnacle of arcane magic.

How could someone like that be sealed by a mid-level mage like Adrian?
Without even needing to seal her, Lisia could wipe out a team of Adrians with just a glance.

Even without her making any defenses, Adrian couldn't break through Lysia's defenses.

Moreover, as a legend of the Life School, Licia doesn't even need to look at Adrian in her field; a single thought is enough to disintegrate his DNA structure and turn him into a puddle of slime.

Even if Adrian is a genius among geniuses, he cannot bridge this gap in their level of understanding.

Fang Yu did not refute Youzi's concept of only focusing on realms on the spot.

That's exactly what I wanted to do to slap Yuzu in the face.

Lately, this player has become a bit lazy and arrogant, and if he doesn't play for three days, he'll start tearing the roof off.

"How is this possible? It really is Licia?" Yuzu exclaimed in disbelief, her body radiating white light like a flash of light.

It simply couldn't understand how a legendary mage could be sealed away by a mid-level mage.

It couldn't understand how its ignorant master, who was merely a mid-level mage, could be so certain that Lysia had been sealed away by Adrian.

Ha ha.

Although I don't understand the power of legendary mages, I do understand women!

I understand scumbags better now.

Although we still don't know whether Adrian is a man, a woman, an armed helicopter, or a plastic bag, you can tell he's a scumbag just from that love letter.

A mid-level mage in his fifties who can date a legendary mage over a thousand years old—you can tell he's an absolute scumbag.

"How did you know? What's your relationship with Adrian?!"

The starlight in the sky gathered again, and this time, the human figure formed was clearer. Although it was still a semi-transparent light and shadow, the facial features were already visible.

She's quite good-looking, at least much better than the female PhDs from the Four Great Abysses. She looks a bit like an intellectual version of Nicholas Tse's ex-wife.

It would be even better if the hand gripping my neck could be released.

Fang Yu wasn't angry; instead, a gentle expression appeared on his face: "Sixteen thousand years, you must have been very lonely."

Lisia's spirit trembled violently, and the starlight around her flickered faster.

There was a clear and significant emotional fluctuation.

Seeing this, Fang Yu did not continue to express his feelings, but returned to his normal tone and said calmly, "I don't know Adrian. I first saw this name in the administrator log of the Magic Network Fluctuation Monitoring System."

“Oh, you should know that Adrian modified this system, storing a large number of standard spell models. Ordinary people can also gain spellcasting ability by sacrificing their mental energy.”

"I suspect that long after the destruction of the arcane civilization, the surviving ordinary people rediscovered this system. It was by chance that I became the administrator of this system and saw the name Adrian Akani."

At this point, Fang Yu paused, looking intently at Lixia: "He... lied to you, didn't he?"

"Shut up!!!" Lysia suddenly roared in fury, her spiritual hand tightening abruptly. "You men are all liars! Not a single one of you is any good!"

Classic, so classic.

It was over a thousand years old before it was sealed away, and its legend actually existed for seventeen thousand years. Is that really so legendary? (Note 1)

If Fang Yu weren't unable to move, he would have loved to touch his nose.

Hey, by the way, isn't Adrian a woman? Why did you say all men are liars?

After the men were gone, a portion of you automatically differentiated into men?

Or is there some hidden story behind this that you don't know about?
Despite Licia's almost overwhelming pressure, Fang Yu showed no fear. He glanced at the time information floating in mid-air and smiled slightly: "Is it really okay to treat the person who helped you break the seal like this?"

A hint of guilt flashed across Lisia's face, but she still did not loosen her grip on Fang Yu.

"I will no longer believe a single word you say! Stop your clumsy lies! I won't let you go until I'm sure you don't have ulterior motives!"

Lisia spoke sternly and harshly.

Fang Yu's lips curled up slightly, his expression meaningful: "I thought you wouldn't let go of me because you were interested in my body."

Lisia's face flushed with anger.

This mere intermediate-level mage dared to speak rudely to her and flirt with her!
If this were the Great Arcane Era, I wouldn't even need to record a two-hour video of you. I could just send you to the front lines of the Plane Wars as cannon fodder with a single sentence, you know?

Before she could even get angry, Fang Yu calmly said, "Don't you want to devour my spirit and take over my body?"

Lisia's spiritual light shifted, the starlight fluctuated violently twice, and a look of panic appeared on her face.

Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, his expression relaxed: "You're a legend in the School of Life Sciences, so doing this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"Oh, by the way, we have a specific term for this where we're from—'body snatching'."

"That was just an excuse you made up to possess me, wasn't it? To make yourself feel more at ease?" With each word Fang Yu spoke, Lixia's spirit trembled.

Is it shame?

This top legend of the life school is indeed a naive and love-struck fool.

Outstanding research ability, but negative romantic ability.

Looking at her resume, she became a formal mage at the age of 17, a level 3 mage at the age of 20, a level 7 mage at the age of 35, and a level 17 archmage at the age of 147. This was three years less than the time it took for Yuzu's former owner, Nasri, to advance to level 17.

At the age of 380, Lysia finally ascended to the Legendary rank.

When she was born, the Arcane Union had been established for over a century, the Primal Forge was almost completed, and the Great Arcane Age had entered a period of rapid expansion and high-speed development.

Throughout her life, Lisia remained within the research system of the Arcane Federation, always serving as its rising star and pillar. She probably never really did any management work, let alone had any opportunities to engage in power struggles.

In reality, the higher the official rank, the easier it is to maintain one's position.

Note that it's not about being able to do it well, but rather about making it as easy as possible.

If you don't believe me, ask any foolish emperors throughout history: was it easy or not for them to be emperors?

They die easily.

Judging from Lisia's resume, she falls into this category.

Because of her exceptional talent, she was pampered by those around her from a young age, and all her chores were taken care of. In addition, as the Supreme Master's personal disciple, no one would deliberately cause her trouble, and no one would dare to make a move on her.

This kind of female PhD, just like Tong Yongshan, is like an old house that catches fire quickly.

Love is essentially a war of conquest and being conquered, and the victors are often unrelated to status or strength.

"I...I won't devour your spirit..." Lysia's spirit was clearly panicked.

“I will just… I will preserve your spirit. After you return to legend, I will create another body for you. No, no, I will create another body and give it back to you. I promise…”

Lisia's voice grew softer and softer.

"That's all, let's go."

The struggle on Lisia's face became more and more obvious. Finally, she sighed and released Fang Yu's neck.

"Young mage, I apologize for my malice just now."

Lisia's voice regained its previous elegance and ethereal quality; although there was still regret in her tone, it was mostly relaxed.

Fang Yu glanced at Lixia with considerable surprise.

Just give up?

Would you rather be reduced to ashes than do evil?

No wonder she's a white leftist saint from the Arcane Federation.

No wonder he was ambushed by Adrian.

Fang Yu pondered for a moment: "So what are your plans for the future? The monitoring system contains the spiritual energy of many believers' sacrifices. If you need it, I can give you a portion."

"With this portion of spiritual power, you should be able to immediately return to the legendary rank, enter the astral plane, and find the person you are looking for."

Lysia is currently in a purely spiritual state, without any mental protection. Even though she is a legend, she will be swallowed by the astral plane, just a little slower than an ordinary person.

That's why those legends who have escaped into the astral plane need to rely on the spiritual sacrifices of their believers on Earth to eke out a living in the astral plane.

"No need, thank you, young arcane mage." Lisia smiled forlornly.

"When I was modifying the Magic Network Fluctuation Monitoring System, I had already researched that the spiritual power sacrificed by others must be assimilated by one's own spiritual power before it can be used."

“But he took away all my spiritual power and the essence of my life.”

Lisia couldn't help but show a sad expression.

Good heavens, Adrian is ruthless; he didn't leave Licia any way out.

"You can leave now. I can probably hold on for about another month. To make up for my mistakes, you can consult me ​​about your arcane questions at any time during my existence, but your spirit should not enter here again."

“You are in a purely spiritual state right now, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself…”

Fang Yu checked the time; there was one minute left before the fifteen-minute limit: "You don't need to worry about disappearing. Besides, even if you can't resist, you won't be able to devour my spirituality."

Lisia was taken aback, then immediately sensed her own spiritual state.

The spirituality has not been lost!
How can this be?

Having participated in the entire system transformation, I am very clear that this monitoring system has no effect on preventing the loss of spirituality!

After all, from the very beginning of the design, the idea was that arcane mages could use their mental power to restrain spirituality.

Fang Yu snapped his fingers, and the hazy space instantly disappeared, turning into a void. Countless numbers composed of 0s and 1s rushed past Lisia's spirit.

The countdown, which had been floating in mid-air and visible only to Fang Yu, also stopped.

"Because this is not the Magic Network Fluctuation Monitoring System, and the person appearing in front of you is not a spirit."

"Welcome to 'Minecraft,' esteemed legendary mage."

"However, although a large number of astral crystals and spiritual bottles are used here as 'capacitors' to ensure that your spirituality does not dissipate, due to limitations in computing power, it can only be opened for 15 minutes a day for the time being, and everything in the space except you will be reset."

"However, with the improvement of computing power, the system's uptime will be extended in the future."

"Alright, that's all for today's fifteen minutes. See you next time."

When Lisia looked up, she saw that Fang Yu's figure had already shattered into pieces and disappeared from the spot, and the 0s and 1s that had been jumping around in the void had also disappeared.

In the void, she was alone once again.

So, I was just sealed away in a different place?

Looking at the emptiness around her, Lisia gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Oh well, I'm used to it anyway.

Just as Lisia was about to fall back asleep, she heard Fang Yu's voice again.

"Oh, right, you must be bored here all by yourself. Here, take this."

What? Lisia was taken aback, but then she saw countless 0s and 1s flash a few more times in the void, and a stack of books appeared in front of her spirit.

Six dreams?
Wan Jun, the Mute Wife, Green Grass by the River...

what?
"Although the system's computing power is not yet sufficient to run around the clock, it can still support the data volume of several books during system hibernation without any problems."

"See you tomorrow."
