Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

Millicent obediently followed Lin Zhiyu's instructions, took the weapon, and then walked to a place two meters away and waved it a few times in slow motion.

"This weapon is really good. Just holding it makes me feel very comfortable with it."

"Well, as long as you like it."

At this point in the conversation, Millicent fell silent again.

As she had said before, she already owed Lin Zhiyu so much.

Now Lin Zhiyu has given her a prosthetic hand and weapons one after another. She is even too embarrassed to accept them and is thinking, why not let Lin Zhiyu take the things back?

Seeing that Millicent suddenly fell silent, Lin Zhiyu knew that she must be thinking about it again, so he said to her forcefully:

"I don't have the habit of giving things away and then taking them back! Besides, you have all your limbs now, and you have a weapon. Isn't it time to use your strengths and repay me with your swordsmanship?"

Although this sounds a bit utilitarian.

But Millicent knew that Lin Zhiyu actually wanted her to accept these things with peace of mind.

But it is undeniable.

What Lin Zhiyu said does make sense.

With a prosthetic arm and a weapon, she will have a way to repay Lin Zhiyu in the future!

Thinking of this, Millicent's expression immediately became serious, and she said solemnly to Lin Zhiyu:

"From today on, I will become your sharp blade."

Well... the Valkyrie Marennia calls herself "Michaela's Blade".

So buddy is to Millicent now.

Just like Michaela to Malenia?

Anyway.

From today on, Lin Zhiyu finally has a new powerful and trustworthy fighting force.

Lin Zhiyu was quite pleased with this, and said to Millicent jokingly:

"Okay, from today on, you are mine!"

Millicent blinked, noticing a hint of mischief in Lin Zhiyu's smile. She immediately realized there was another layer of meaning to Lin Zhiyu's words, and her face immediately turned crimson...

The author says:

Author's words: This is a long chapter, just barely making up for yesterday's update.

The updates this month are a bit unstable. I will try to save more manuscripts so that I can update vigorously and stably next month!

Chapter 55 3.55 Update Patch: We've enhanced Tomb Raider's basic attributes and added a very cool skill to him!

After receiving treatment from Lin Zhiyu and the scarlet corruption in her body was finally completely eliminated, Busujima Saeko went to find Jie Lian.

According to Lin Zhiyu's instructions.

While Jie Lian has not completed the handover of affairs and has not left Red Lion City.

Busujima Saeko asked Jie Lian for two maps of the border area.

On Lin Zhiyu's side, after completing the treatment of Millicent, he called everyone else into the room, as if he was going to have a meeting.

So many people, crowded in a small room.

Lin Zhiyu is the only male and stands out from the crowd.

All the female relatives present obeyed Lin Zhiyu's orders. Lin Zhiyu was not polite and took a map from Saeko's hand and unfolded it. Then he sat down and started to make arrangements. He first pointed on the map to a place called Yizhan Street Ruins in the Ningmugefu area.

"There should be a woman named Seren hiding here, in a basement within these ruins. She's a magician worth making friends with. Mr. Uehara, please take Serenza to find her. It would be best if she could accept Serenza as her apprentice."

Witch Selian - a high-level wizard from the Lienia region, Rhea Lukalia (Magic Academy).

The magic academy in Lienia has a long history. There are many factions of magic in the academy, such as the Kalia faction pioneered by the Full Moon Queen Reinara, the Haymo faction pioneered by Astaro and Haymo, the Blade Magic faction pioneered by Razli, the Crystal Magic faction pioneered by the Two Sages, and so on.

Different magic factions have their own unique magic skills.

For example, the magic of Kalia's school is characterized by "coldness" and various "magic sword formations".

For example, the Haimo school is characterized by the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. Like a warrior, one hand swings a stick to smash you, while the right hand uses magic power to condense into a sledgehammer to smash you more thoroughly.

Among the many magic factions in the magic academy, there is a very special, or should we say notorious faction.

This faction is the "Origin Faction" to which Serlian belongs.

In the borderland, the most common magic is "pyroxene magic." Pyroxene is a type of amber originating from the stars and imbued with magical powers. In the borderland, pyroxene is to magicians what the spirit stones in fairy tales are to cultivators.

The purpose of the Origin School to which Serlian belongs is to explore the origin of pyroxene with the purest spirit of exploration without regard for taboos.

Pyroxene originates from the stars, and magicians who pursue the origin of pyroxene often end up in a bad way (at least it is definitely not a good ending in the eyes of normal people). Their bodies are either crystallized, or they merge with other magician companions who are pursuing the origin together to become deformed magician balls.

He was originally a human being, but he wanted to turn into a star, and ended up becoming neither human nor ghost. Naturally, the magic academy would try its best to prevent such things.

Therefore, a long time ago, the Origin Faction disappeared under the intense suppression of the Magic Academy.

Including the two founders of the faction.

And there are people like Se Lian in the faction who are recognized as the chosen ones.

All the origin magicians who persisted in their beliefs were exiled.

This is why, as a high-level wizard, Serenity hides in a ruined basement - because she is a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to kill, and she has to keep a low profile.

Then again.

Although she was determined to explore the origin of pyroxene magic and even turned herself into a deformed magician's ball in the end, Cerulean has always been one of the most popular female characters among Circle of Magic players, and her popularity has long been maintained at a level comparable to that of Lani, Melina, and Millicent.

Who wouldn't like a talented and beautiful teacher who would say to you, "If you fail, remember to come back to me. No matter how untalented my apprentice is, there will always be a place for him"?

Players have always been like this: if you treat me sincerely, I will treat you sincerely.

As a seasoned Circle of Magic player, Lin Zhiyu was no exception and had a favorable impression of Seren. However, this time, he had Uehara Rin bring Theresa to approach Seren, primarily because, like Millicent, Seren was easy to win over, highly skilled, and trustworthy.

By the way, we can also find a teacher for Theresa, who is also a "witch" and has excellent magical talent.

Why not do this?

In addition, considering some plots related to Se Lian, Lin Zhiyu also specially prepared a letter for Uehara Rin, asking Uehara Rin to give the letter to Se Lian after they meet.

This letter contains three main contents:

One is to briefly introduce Theresa to Seren, letting Seren know that Theresa is also a "witch regarded as a heretic by her own kind."

The second is to tell Serenity that Latarn is dead.

And with the fall of Latan, the stars began to move, and the gears of fate of magicians like Seren who yearn for the stars will also begin to turn forward.

Jerian was well aware of this—this veteran from Kalia was in stark opposition to the Origin Mages! After all, Kalia was the orthodox school in the long history of the Magic Academy, while the Origin School was a heresy!

Why did Jerry leave Red Lion City after Latan's death, saying that he had something important to do?

It was because he knew that once Latarn died, the stars would no longer be fixed, and the Origin Faction would definitely start to become restless again!

So the third thing Lin Zhiyu told Se Lian in the letter was to remind Se Lian that she was in danger! He also told Se Lian that she could trust Uehara Rin and ask for his help.

Of course, whether Seren believed what Lin Zhiyu said, whether she would ask Shangyuan Lin for help, and whether she was willing to accept Serenha as her disciple, Lin Zhiyu did not dare to say that these would be 100% successful.

But giving it a try is better than doing nothing.

If he wasn't about to go to the underworld, Lin Zhiyu would have wanted to go find Se Lian in person.

He also thought about waiting until he finished all the things with Lani before looking for Serlian, but then he thought, if he really waited until then, it would be too late! You know, time is running out, and Jie Lian will soon leave Red Lion City to track down Serlian!

Uehara Rin knew nothing about Se Lian, but she didn't intend to ask any questions. After all, Lin Zhiyu had already given her the task clearly, so she just followed it.

But when Theresa heard Lin Zhiyu say that Uehara Rin was going to take her out alone and find a teacher for her, the little girl immediately became nervous.

"Brother, do you want to let Theresa go to school? Can you and Sister Lin take Theresa to school together..." Theresa walked to Lin Zhiyu, hugged Lin Zhiyu's feet and said.

Lin Zhiyu immediately held Theresa in his arms, rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Be good, Theresa. I have other things to do, but I promise I will be back to you soon!"

Kindergarten-age children are like this, clingy, and Lin Zhiyu can only be patient and coax her more.

After that, Lin Zhiyu assigned tasks to other people. He gave the task of trying to subdue the demihumans near Hyde Fortress and the hybrids in Moen City to Li Meifeng and Millicent, reminding them to remember to show their strength and to use kindness to make the demihumans and hybrids surrender. He also told Li Meifeng to use illusion if it really didn't work.

Then there are Saeko and Laura.

Lin Zhiyu gave Saeko the Great Rune of Latarn, and pointed to the location of the Gaileed Tower on the map, asking Saeko and Laura to go there to activate the Great Rune.

The Tower of God's Blessing in Gayleed stands on a cliff overlooking the sea. There's no gate or road leading directly to it. To reach the tower, the normal method is to jump from the cliff to the outer wall, then climb...

Saeko, who is known for her agility, can definitely handle this kind of thing.

Lara will definitely have no problem, after all, Tomb Raider is a game just like Assassin's Creed, both of which are notoriously full of climbing.

However, in addition to the steep terrain of the Gaileed Tower, there are actually other dangers inside the tower, such as the "Black Flame Martial Monk" and the "God Skin Apostle" hiding inside.

Fortunately, the Divine Skin Apostle is hidden at the bottom of the tower, and to activate the Great Rune, one has to go up to the top of the tower, so this danger can be avoided.

What's more, if a fight really breaks out, Saeko and Laura may not lose. Lin Zhiyu is still very confident in them.

However, Laura herself lacked confidence in herself. After listening to Lin Zhiyu's instructions, she frowned and said to Lin Zhiyu hesitantly:

"Lin, according to your description, this place called the Divine Tower is very dangerous. I'm not afraid, I'm just worried. What if I'm not capable enough and end up hindering Miss Busujima..."

"Hold us back? No, you won't." Lin Zhiyu said to Laura with a smile and a firm tone.

Afterwards, Lin Zhiyu asked everyone except Saeko and Laura to leave first.

When there were only three of them left in the room and it finally seemed less crowded, Lin Zhiyu told Laura about what he had gained from the ten draws after obtaining the Great Rune of Latarn.

He also made it clear that he intended to give the "Gravity Arrow" and "Distant Arrow Amulet" he drew to Laura.

"No, you saved my life before, and this time, I didn't even participate in the battle against Latarn. How can I have the nerve to accept your favor again?"

"Haha, I'm not giving you these things for nothing. I know you're a trustworthy girl, so you can understand that I want to train you so that you can always help me with various things in the future, just like Saeko. Besides, I don't use a bow and arrow, so based on the principle of making the best use of everything, I'm giving you the Gravity Arrow and the Long Arrow Amulet. I think there's no better decision than this."

"But……"

"No buts! Didn't you say I saved your life? Then just treat it as me insisting that you accept all this and help me with my work peacefully!"

Seeing that Laura was still hesitating, Lin Zhiyu simply raised his tone, showing his irresistible will.

Under Lin Zhiyu's piercing gaze, Laura could only accept the gift with a wry smile. In addition to the gravity arrow and the long-range arrow amulet, Lin Zhiyu also gave her a small, golden, glowing ball.

"What is this?" Laura asked Lin Zhiyu curiously.

Lin Zhiyu did not answer Laura immediately, but called softly:

"Melina, are you there?"

Then, only a moment later, Melina appeared in the room.

Just as Laura was looking at her in confusion, Melina suddenly appeared in the room.

Lin Zhiyu gave Melina an order:

"Could you please help Laura transform that heroic rune into power?"

Well... Lin Zhiyu certainly didn't forget that Laura is still an "ordinary person".

Even if an ordinary person has skills like "Soul Gathering Arrow" and "Gravity Arrow" and good equipment like "Distant Arrow Amulet", if her own stats are too poor, her actual combat performance will still be very poor.

As a numerical geek, Lin Zhiyu knows too well the importance of numbers.

Look, the "Hero Rune" that I exchanged for the "Old General Flag" from Patch before can come in handy now?

For Lin Zhiyu or Busujima Saeko, whose numerical values, that is, attributes, are already very high, even if Melina helps to transform the hero rune into their strength, the improvement will not be particularly obvious, maybe the difference between 99 points and 100 points.

But for Laura, this is a huge improvement of more than ten or twenty points, to sixty or seventy points!

Chapter 56: Trying out New Tactics

After giving out the hero Rune, Lin Zhiyu left space to Melina and Laura, and gave Saeko a look, indicating that Saeko should follow him.

The two walked out of the room, one in front and one behind.

With the end of the battle festival and the fall of Latan, the Red Lion City returned to its previous desolation, and the solemnity in the air was even stronger than before.

Lin Zhiyu led Saeko all the way to the ring, and asked Saeko as they walked:

"Do you remember? After I cleared the first world, I visited your world. Right in your yard, you taught me swordsmanship and we even sparred."
