Oh no, I have become a character in the card pool?

Chapter 98: Use a bug to level up, don't do basic operations
"So, the Spirit Contract Envoy did not accept the invitation, but went directly to the garrison base at the front line?"

The girl in an exquisite princess dress was listening to the report from the alliance staff in the rear.

Didn't seem too surprised.

"Thank you, I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

Nodding, she kindly told the employee who was worried about being scolded for dereliction of duty that it was okay and let him leave.

I came to the windowsill of the castle alone.

Leilin looked into the distance.

From where this castle is built, one only needs to look towards the horizon - the white tower surrounded by countless stars will quietly come into view.

As a disciple who respects the teacher in his heart, I am unable to help the teacher solve his problems.

Only by living here and being responsible for guarding the tower for decades can Leilin alleviate the guilt she feels.

"I see. You are indeed a spiritual master who can summon my master."

She smiled faintly.

He murmured softly, "As expected, we can't use ordinary thinking to judge her."

"That's great."

For the spirits summoned to this world.

As the summoner's spirit bond master, he is far more important than imagined.

Perhaps in the minds of ordinary people, powerful spirits are heroes from the past, legends who once stood above everyone else.

Putting themselves on the battlefield they can be extremely effective.

Therefore, the weak and useless spirit contractor is just an auxiliary tool on the battlefield.

Add blood and buffs from time to time.

Then just being responsible for acting as a mouthpiece to convey instructions from the alliance is enough, it is dispensable.

However, any heroic spirit or spirit bond envoy who has experienced many battles knows that this is not the case at all.

As an existence that calls upon the remaining echoes of the soul and summons the dead souls again.

The Spirit Envoy can be said to be the link of communication between the heroic soul and this world.

As people who were also born in the [Broken Time and Space], those worlds and entities were rejected from outside, and even powerful "special individuals" could only come like zombies.

However, the spirit of the contract can not only maintain complete mental state, but also carry power that belongs only to itself.

This is all because of the existence of the "Spirit Envoy".

For example.

The identity card given to the heroic soul by the alliance during the test is just a recognition given by human civilization; but the existence of the Spirit Contract Envoy is the world's recognition for the heroic soul.

People often say.

A poor quality spirit bond user who is unable to control a spirit bond that is far beyond his ability will only result in a waste.

But in fact, the opposite is also true.

If a qualified contract spirit envoy makes a pledge to a less powerful contract spirit, it would be like installing a top-of-the-line sports car engine on an old trailer.

The roar can drive the car vigorously, but it is a force that the car body cannot withstand and cannot reach its true upper limit.

Qi Ling Shi and Qi Ling.

They complement each other and cannot exist without one.

——This is the [Law] that belongs to this world, which was finally finalized and borne fruit based on the template of the "Miracle Man" who first appeared and defined what a contract spirit is.

"However, although I am optimistic about the girl named Xia Shimi who dares to make such a choice."

"I also believe that my master, who is deeply loved by my teacher, has the vision to choose his own spiritual master."

Leilin stayed alone on the rooftop, a hint of worry flashed deep in her eyes.

She shook her head.

He sighed and whispered, "But the necessary preparations are still necessary."

Without looking back, the princess spoke calmly to the empty shadows.

"Send someone to protect the Spirit Envoy. She doesn't need to be aware of her existence or provide any material assistance."

"Just need to ensure her safety in secret."

After a pause, the princess put aside the filter of a little fangirl, her eyes filled with calm wisdom.

A princess from long ago, a former queen.

During that long battle, she ascended the throne as queen, and with her own authority, she popularized magic, which once belonged only to the nobility, and burned the corrupt nobility and organizations with thunder.

Treat magic as an ordinary miracle, popularize it, and teach it, so that even children begging in the snow on the roadside can equally learn the secrets of magic.

The princess continued what the distant "Witch of Sin" had failed to do, and opened a new era of magic over the next thousand years.

"The Enlightener of the Era", Lelin Lilivis.

She said calmly and majestically in a clear and crisp voice: "Only when the girl's life is in danger--"

"Or if the Abyss Brigade's men try to approach, we can just show up and take action."

"If necessary, give her my necklace, and I will personally ensure her safety."

The shadow did not respond to Leilin's words. Only a gust of wind blew through this palace that belonged to her alone.

The girl did not continue to repeat the order.

She raised her head and looked at the white tower standing quietly on the earth on the distant horizon.

In the files that Lin Xuan had read previously, due to his insufficient authority, the only record regarding one organization was incomplete.

The arrival of [Broken Time and Space] destroyed civilization.

Since there are people who are willing to stand up and nobley use their lives to continue the torch of civilization, naturally there will be dark maggots crawling on the ground, humbly abandoning their dignity and flattering in order to survive.

After Lovina appeared thirty years ago, the Alliance once again sent an investigation team to approach.

It was the time when 'an investigation team disappeared for two days, but they swore that it had been two years'.

——The only reason is that, even at the risk of angering the witch, the Alliance is eager to reconnect with her and get her help.

"It won't be long before the abyss spreads again."

"As the 'Demon's Abyss' assimilates with this world and becomes more adapted to the environment of this world, the abyss of natural disasters is slowly recovering its past properties."

"The Abyssbloods are just the most insignificant of its many delicacies."

Leilin whispered softly, "The soul of the strong is what it desires."

"For the contract spirits that were summoned in the form of spirit bodies, it can be said to be a true natural enemy."

She recalled seeing her subjects being polluted by the abyss and losing their intellect and rationality, which they were proud of.

It has degenerated into a scene of wild beasts indulging in fighting.

If the abyss were to regain its former nature once again, the scene of hell would be repeated in this world.

"teacher."

"What are you doing now?"

=====
book.

Encyclopedia definitions are the main tool used by humans to record all achievements and knowledge.

Human life is limited. We may die at any time due to an accident, or fall asleep forever.

But only knowledge, the soul written with a pen, can be recorded on paper. Even if death comes, it can be passed on from generation to generation.

And now, Lin Xuan is reading.

It's just such great stuff.

"But I just feel that my soul has taken on an unbearable weight."

Closing the book, Lin Xuan rubbed his temples with his hands, slowly recovering his over-consumed energy. It felt like he had paid a high price for a high-end buffet.

The first half hour was a pleasure.

But more than an hour later.

It's all torture.

And even if you are full after eating, when you think about the money you have already spent, you will feel like you have lost 100 million if you don’t eat more.

For someone like Lin Xuan who must make every effort to spend every resource, he is even more aware of the history and knows why he came to see it.

The accelerated state of thinking provided by this system might be a one-time opportunity that is hard to come by?

If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever!

This has caused Lin Xuan to feel that he is overworking his brain and he just wants to completely empty his mind.

Oh, I really want to rub something soft to heal my tired heart.

Just as the insane Lin Xuan was seriously thinking about whether he should risk being bathed in contemptuous eyes and summon Xingjian Jingli to pull his tail.

And this desire was getting stronger and stronger, and when he was about to take action -

Click.

The door of the library was opened.

"Lord Lin Xuan, do you need anything else?" A young man with glasses who also looked very tired asked politely with food in his hands.

His name is Lenlox.

From Lin Xuan's perspective, they are brothers in distress, just like college entrance examination candidates who were thrown into the same sprint class.

Because this young man - he was Leilin's soul bond, the one who signed the third oath.

No matter how long a person lives, his life will eventually come to an end. Besides, that girl was one of the first contracted spirits summoned more than ninety years ago.

Her second soul-conquering envoy also died of old age.

However, because of a long period of time, she has developed a sense of identification with current human civilization.

That's why he agreed to the second and third Contract Spirit Envoys to appear and continue the contract - to prevent himself from returning to the card pool and no one being able to draw him out again.

In fact, [Epic Level] Contract Spirits are extremely rare in the entire alliance.

Strictly speaking, apart from those who are lucky, there are very few people who are qualified to serve as their spirit envoys.

That's what happened with Lenrocks.

Even though he successfully gained recognition and became Leilin's soul bonded envoy, he still lived under tremendous pressure every day and always felt that he was not good enough.

You can tell from the deep dark circles under his glasses.

Others feel relieved after finishing the college entrance examination.

And he directly signed a lifelong contract with the college entrance examination that would last until his death. Even Lin Xuan was full of awe for the young man's choice.

"Thank you, it's not necessary anymore."

Lin Xuan rubbed his swollen temples with his hands, and his rationality returned, and he was thankful that he did not impulsively summon a fox just now.

He closed the last of the books.

He glanced at the azure system box that displayed [Task not yet completed - time remaining: one day and three hours].

He smiled and said, "I've been nagging you guys long enough. It's almost time to leave." "Leave?"

Lenlocks was stunned.

After spending a short time with this easy-going spirit in front of him during the past few days delivering food, he certainly got to know where he was going.

"Is it okay? It's only been three days." He advised with a worried tone, "There's no rush. It's okay for you to stay here for another month."

"After all, even if you are a contracted spirit, this is the forbidden Star White Tower."

It has only been three short days.

From the brief time they had spent together, Lenlocks had confirmed that Lin Xuan was not a spirit born in the Demonic Abyss Realm, and he knew nothing about magic before.

No matter how talented you are, it is hard to learn in such a short time.
to be frank.

If you don't feel that the other person is not that kind of person after getting to know each other.

Lenlocks would think that this was pure pretense, and that he was just making up an excuse to skip class because he couldn't learn.

"No need, this is fine." Lin Xuan shook his head and repeated, his eyes looking at another girl who appeared in the corridor.

With a faint smile, "Leilin, I'm ready. Send me to the White Tower of Stars."

"Are you sure this is okay, Master?"

The princess, dressed in exquisite clothes, glanced at Lin Xuan, and a hint of contemplation flashed in her eyes.

He repeated the question in a serious tone: "Don't worry about what I said before. Your own safety is the most important."

"Even though it is important to reconnect with the teacher, if you die, no one will be able to do this in the future—"

"No, that's enough."

Lin Xuan shook his head calmly again, looking directly into the girl's eyes.

After a long silence.

The princess with the broken crown on her head nodded.

"Okay, I understand. I wish you a safe journey, Master."

Without any casting process, a huge magic circle appeared under her feet and also covered Lin Xuan.

The alliance was extremely expensive and took years to build the "Large-Scale Strategic Teleportation Formation", but it was built with the power of this girl.

But it was completed in a flash.

There was a flash of light.

The distance between spaces was erased - a bridge connecting the White Tower of Stars in the distance was built.

Like the brave hero in a fairy tale who went to save the princess, he was more than a hundred years late.

But in the end, he still embarked on the journey to the tower.

After the black-haired boy disappeared, Lenlox whispered with some uncertainty: "Lady Lilyvis, has he really mastered the magic of 'anchoring the existence of the self'?"

"How do I feel"

"Your feeling is correct, Lenlox." Leilin said in a clear voice, "I had a preconceived notion. I didn't expect that my master-in-law is not a magician."

"However, his familiarity with magic is very high, so high that it's as if he is the embodiment of the ether."

"In my old world, his talent might even be as great as mine."

"So even if it was his first time, he learned magic at an incredibly fast speed."

Pause for a moment.

Leilin continued to whisper: "But, I can feel that he has not fully mastered that magic."

"I have probably mastered 99% of it, but I am missing the last bit."

Lenrocks' eyes widened when he heard this.

"What?" He couldn't help but speak out, "If that's the case, then why did you send him over, Lady Lilyvis?"

"According to the ether detection reaction, the speed of time around the Star White Tower has shown signs of gradually going out of control. If you suddenly step into it without mastering that magic."

"It's very likely that I will get lost in a long period of time."

A moment of a thousand years.

The human soul is fragile, which is why it needs to be recorded in words.

If the soul is exposed to that kind of environment, it would be like walking into a time maze with no end in sight, even if the Star White Tower has no ill will towards humans.

But that kind of powerful existence that distorts the rules - just getting close will bring disaster.

That is why the pure white tower has stood there quietly for hundreds of years, with no one able to approach or understand it.

"calm down."

Leilin had the appearance of a young girl, a few years younger than the young man behind her, but she spoke with the tone of an older elder.

She sighed: "Lenrocks, when will you learn to observe your surroundings calmly like your mother?"

"You only inherited her talent, but not her temperament. This is not good. You have been like this since childhood. You cannot be considered a qualified soul bond user."

"Take a closer look at this library."

Hearing this, Lenrocks looked around.

He was slightly startled.

Previously, because Lin Xuan required a space where he could read quietly, he naturally chose this library.

This was Leilin's personal collection, which contained copies of all the magic she had ever learned, recorded one by one.

As the princess who ushered in the era of magic.

Her knowledge is so comprehensive.

In terms of completeness and comprehensiveness, this library with a huge internal space may be far more comprehensive than the war zone headquarters in the Demonic Abyss Realm.

But now.

In this library, it is obvious that there are many empty spaces on the bookshelves.

What about the magic books that were originally placed there?

"As expected, you are the one chosen by the teacher."

Leilin's expression revealed a smile. She would only regain her fangirl attitude when she talked about the idols she admired in the past.

She whispered with sparkling eyes.

"I originally thought that I had overestimated you as much as possible, but I didn't expect that you would exceed my imagination even more."

Just like the spirit envoy who refused to come and chose to hone his strength alone on the front line.

Leilin hadn’t expected that.

She was a princess who had once founded a magic empire, but she was surprised twice in a row by a group of spirit masters and spirits within a very short period of a few days.

Some kind of vague intuition told her that the possibilities contained in this pairing might surprise her again.

"Teacher, is that why he is the one you are waiting for?"

The abyss, which has been expanded again in recent years, is given to the exhausted girl Qi Ling.

one more time.

It was like a girl who, when she was a princess, had heard the legend of the Witch of Sin from the distant past and was looking forward to hearing more stories.

She had a vague expectation for the future.

=====
"Haha, I feel like I couldn't keep it secret in the end. The girl still found out."

Lin Xuan walked out of the magic circle, smiled slightly and shrugged helplessly.

He actually had no intention of hiding it.

But this behavior seemed too dangerous after all, and he was prepared to be stopped after being exposed, and he also prepared the words to explain it.

But what I didn't expect was.

Although Leilin discovered his plan, she pretended not to see it and let him go after asking him once.

She knew it all, but chose to trust.

Is this the calm charm that comes from the wisdom accumulated over time by short-lived species that have lived for one or two hundred years?
From the feeling of getting along with each other, Lin Xuan suspected that the other party's character might be more reliable than that of her master.

But it’s hard to say.

After all, when Lin Xuan first drew Lovina, he had the same feeling when looking at her portrait.

"So."

"As I guessed, some fragments of the world's core were used when the White Tower was first built, so Rowena went to the 'Abyss' for the second time."

"Because only in that depth can we find the materials she needs."

He put his hand on his chest.

Although there was still no heartbeat, it seemed that under the influence of some special force, the originally lingering death energy was severely slowed down.

Lin Xuan said quietly.

"Only by utilizing the power of the world's core can this white tower ignore the erosion of the surrounding world and have an independent flow of time."

"——In the broken spacetime, a 'small broken spacetime' with its own unique laws was created."

Lin Xuan raised his head and looked at the pure white tower standing in front of him, then casually glanced at the word frame on the side.

[Books stored in inventory: 2315.]

[The remaining time of the mission is 821 days, which is 2 years and 3 months.]

[Temporarily acquired attributes are being maintained: Perception +200%, Memory +200%, Magic Affinity +200%, Ether Recovery Efficiency +200%. ]

[It is detected that the player has fallen into an abnormal state in a special copy. Do you want to call the oath spirit "Mirror Spirit Fox" to get rid of the abnormal state? 】

[(Note: If you forcibly escape this abnormal state in the form of energy conflict, there is a chance that you will be marked as an enemy by this special copy)]

[(Next time you enter this instance, there is a high probability that a forced kill will be triggered.)]

He simply sat down on the grass.

I had a feeling that what was coming would be a long and hard battle, and I smiled with both pain and happiness.

He muttered to himself: "I hope that the mental power given by the upgrade, plus the bonus given by the physique of the contract spirit, can be more reliable."

"It's only been a little over two years since I was alone. It shouldn't be that easy to go crazy, right?"

There is nothing we can do about it.

After all, the most important thing when it comes to conquering a beautiful girl is to please her.

And if a certain girl had lost her past memories, no matter how you look at it, given her personality, she would never be interested in talking to a magic husband.

Men and the like will only hinder the speed of my research.jpg
There may only be one chance for contact.

If you fail, you will be kicked out.

And imagining all the possibilities, even if it takes a long and boring time, you must brush the attributes to the level sufficient to complete the dungeon.

——For a hardcore gamer, this is not something shocking, right?
