Chapter 53 Mercedes
Lu Cang's tone was full of impoliteness.

Furthermore, they had already retreated to the center of the hotel lobby.

The hotel nowadays isn't exactly bustling.

However, there were still quite a few people in the lobby.

If the other party wanted to make a move, they wouldn't do it in public.

An invisible barrier had already protected Lu Cang's body.

The man before me had fine, soft white hair. He smiled slightly and said, "Relax."

"If I wanted to kill you, why would I want to see you?"

Lu Cang: "I don't want to see you."

"Don't say that."

"I've heard that you're the most magically talented genius since Iz..."

"I would also love to meet such a genius."

As he spoke, he approached Lu Cang.

Also walking towards Lu Cang was the man sitting on the sofa.

Two people who are exactly the same.

Is it some kind of magic?

"what you up to."

Lu Cang asked calmly.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to teach you a few spells to see if you really have the talent that the rumors say you have."

"However, just like the rumors, she is indeed 8 years old..."

“A mage who awakened earlier than me,” the man behind him with the monocle muttered in a barely audible voice.

"Uncle just wants to teach you a spell," the man behind him muttered in a voice barely above a mosquito's buzz.

Teaching magic?
In fact, Lu Cang had also been looking for other magics during this time.

But I only discovered it when I went to look for it myself.

Surprisingly little magic is practiced in the town of Raine.

It turns out that most spells require purchasing spellbooks, and a second-tier spellbook costs 20 gold coins.

The magic shops in Raine Town sell a pitifully small variety of items.

I later learned that the vast majority of magic can only be learned by studying at a magic academy, and only a small portion is allowed to circulate in the market.

Even so, Lu Cang still learned some of the incantations for other second-tier spells from other adventurers.

I've only learned spells like "Falling Rocks," "Water Arrow," and "Flash," but none of these spells are particularly powerful.

Learning magic without a master is indeed not easy.

"Oh, really? What kind of spell is it?" Lu Cang asked.

"That's a really fun spell."

Haha, they really treat me like a child.

Unfortunately, I was born in 1997 Earth calendar and am already a 28-year-old Tencent employee.

Lu Cang only complained in his heart and naturally did not say it out loud.

The other party completely ignored whether Lu Cang intended to refuse or not.

He then spoke: "The thing trapped in nothingness transforms into the unchanging foundation of all things, bearing the root of all things. If it were not the root, all things in the world would be empty. All things have myriad forms but remain unchanged. Obtaining the law from the source, it transforms into the source of all laws."

Grass……

What are you saying in your gibberish?
How could someone speak so fast, finishing this whole string in just 2 seconds?
Who can read that out? Try reading it yourself and see if you think you can memorize it!

"Hehe, sorry, I can't learn it."

Lu Cang responded directly.

Even if I could memorize it, I still wouldn't want to learn this magic.

Iz had given instructions.

You can't learn magic indiscriminately, especially magic taught by strangers.

Some forbidden magic spells will lead to certain death if learned.

At best, it backfires on itself; at worst, it directly attracts the possession of other gods.

This inexplicably suspicious old man is teaching this kind of magic that looks extremely dubious; only a genius would learn it.

"Aren't you going to learn?"

"This is magic that can help you break free from the curse of being stared at."

Lu Cang refused and was about to leave.

But the other person's words made Lu Cang stop.

"You don't want to rely on Kumironi's help for your promotion forever, do you?"

"The younger the age at which one is promoted, the stronger their spirituality."

"The more blessings you receive, the easier it is to climb to higher peaks."

"But if you want to get promoted before the age of 16, you have to get rid of the curse of being stared at."

"If Kumiloni is no longer around in the future, are you going to give up your talent and stop progressing before you turn 16?"

"Spirituality is what you should cherish most."

“Especially… the spirituality within you is nothing like that of an eight-year-old child; it’s more like that of a newborn infant, the closest thing to the initial state of birth.”

“I feel sorry for you because you don’t cherish the spirituality you have.”

Lu Cang turned to look at him.

To be honest, what he said was indeed his sore spot.

Lu Cang absolutely does not want to rely on others for promotion.

Even if Kumiloni is a good person.

"However, if you have any doubts about my magic, you can write them down first."

"How about we ask for Iz's opinion when he gets back?"

Lu Cang frowned, his vigilance still undiminished. However, asking Iz shouldn't lead to any major problems.

The other party was a stranger, so Lu Cang was wary.

However, Lu Cang couldn't be sure that the other party was definitely approaching him with malicious intent; what if they were genuinely well-intentioned...?

Just like Izzy and the others.

Lu Cang's expression softened slightly, and he said, "Thank you, but could we talk in person after Iz and the others return?"

"I think Iz would also welcome a friend who is willing to discuss magic with you. May I ask your name...?"

The man in front of her, wearing a monocle, wore a fake smile.

"Haha, you're really cautious, kid."

"But if I were to meet him, we would definitely fight."

"I don't want to face that monster right now."

"so troublesome……"

"Never mind, I'll tell you anyway. My name is—Messer."

"Messe".

Lu Cang felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

I've seen too many names lately.

Monocular mirror man, Mercedes.

Lu Cang recalled it this way.

"If you don't want to learn that spell, I have two self-created second-tier minor spells here."

"You can learn it if you're interested."

Meisei proactively slipped some things into Lu Cang's pocket.

Lu Cang unceremoniously took out the thing he had just stuffed in.

On-site inspection.

The three slips of paper were all incantations written in the Root language.

One is the incantation he just finished reciting in two seconds, the other two... I don't recognize them.

But there's one more.

It was brown paper, like parchment, with an incredibly complex pattern engraved in the center.

Secret scrolls...

Job Change Scroll

"That's it, kid."

"See, I meant you no harm, right?"

"If you are interested in my magic, please feel free to come find me again."

As he spoke, he walked behind Lu Cang.

"and many more……"

"This secret scroll!"

When Lu Cang turned around.

His figure had completely disappeared...

Welcome to contact me? You didn't say how to contact me.

Who is this man?
Lu Cang looked at the hotel receptionist and asked her, "Sister, do you know the name Messer?"

The receptionist looked puzzled.

"Messe?"

"It feels like I've heard it somewhere before, but... I really can't remember."

Lu Cang: "Okay, thank you."

I have a vague impression, but I don't remember?

Judging from this, it must be a name you occasionally hear about, and you may have seen it in the library.

I'll ask the librarian tomorrow; maybe they'll have the answer.

Lu Cang looked at the elevator.

The elevator is still stuck on the first floor.

But after thinking it over, Lu Cang turned around and left the hotel.

……

"Hey, Brother Lu Cang! You're back again!"

"Want to have a drink with us?"

"Come on! Let's celebrate that you killed a king-level monster today!"

"Celebrating another milestone in Lu Cang's journey to becoming a legend!"

Lu Cang beamed with a bright smile: "Yay! Let's celebrate!"

Ha... It's safer to be with this group of people than to sleep alone in a hotel.

There were level 5 adventurers in the guild drinking as well.

Lu Cang also had a good relationship with them.

In the past ten days or so, Lu Cang has built good relationships with many adventurers by taking advantage of his identity as a child.

It's hard not to love a talking child who is also a humble genius.

Lu Cang took some hangover medicine beforehand.

I definitely won't get drunk tonight.

We should be wary of that uninvited guest; I wonder what his intentions are towards me.

Sending a secret document out of the blue is also suspicious.
