Let's play cards! In a different world of swords and magic

We couldn’t allow passersby to disturb You Ling’s highly concentrated work on splicing and restoration.

So, the five of them formed a circle very tacitly, and wrapped You Ling, who was squatting on the ground piecing together the pyramid of light, in the innermost part, protecting him without any blind spots.

In order to protect You Ling, they acted like "everyone is a villain". Even though there were people coming and going at the entrance of the academy, no one dared to glance over here.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the outline of the transparent crystal pyramid in You Ling's hand began to take shape.

"This is it, the end!"

When You Ling closed the most critical and final piece, the crystal fragment engraved with the same "eye" decoration as the thousand-year-old artifact, the sun set and night fell, and the Pyramid of Light was officially completed.

"finished!"

Nova: "That's amazing, You Ling, I'm stunned!"

During this period, Nova, who witnessed You Ling's amazing skills from a first-person perspective, was definitely the most excited one.

"Is it done? Great!"

He let out a long sigh. Compared to Nova's excitement, Arnold finally let go of his worries.

“Is this the Pyramid of Light?”

Aixia carefully observed the pyramid in You Ling's hand, which was slightly translucent in the night.

"It's just a replica of the Millennium Building Blocks."

Apart from the different materials and colors, it is almost a crystal version of the Millennium Bricks.

"I wonder if there are any hidden spirits living in this place."

Of course Aisha would not forget what Camille had said before.

If You Ling's soul wants to appear in this world in a physical form, there must be a container that can carry the soul alone.

The Pyramid of Light, which looks similar, would be the perfect container for the physicalization of You Ling's soul if it had the same function as the Millennium Brick and there was no spirit behind it.

You Ling nodded and said, "If you take this thing to ask Camille some time, maybe it will work!"

This is also the important reason why You Ling worked so hard to restore the Pyramid of Light.

If it really is an idle soul container with no spirit behind it, this will be his final defeat in this world.

Boom~!

In the distance, the melodious church bells rang seven times, indicating that it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

"I'm hungry!" Licia slumped on the ground after relaxing. For her, who had only eaten eight pieces of bread at noon, there was nothing more terrible than not having dinner at 7 o'clock in the evening.

"Well, it's time to eat..."

Boom~!

The church bells in the distance rang again, striking seven times in a row, indicating that it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

However, this time, the knocking made everyone suddenly feel a chill on their backs, an indescribable weirdness.

Aisha nervously confirmed: "Will the church bell ring twice in a row?"

Irena replied, "That's impossible. It has never happened before. Besides, it can't be a mistake."

Church bells are rung manually by church personnel. How could a mistake be made to ring a bell again after it has already been rung once?

Boom-!

The church bells in the distance rang again, striking seven times in a row, indicating that it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

Three strikes, 7 strikes each time, for a total of 21 strikes.

The eerie and melodious sound of the bell seemed to ripple out infinite and invisible fear under the dark night sky.

Arnold and Lisia's expressions suddenly changed drastically.

After confirming that the church bell rang 21 times in the darkness, Arnold felt a drop of cold sweat on his forehead.

"It's the Great Old Ones. They actually... followed us to this city."

Chapter 265: Soul Under the Stardust

The night bells rang twenty-one times in a row, and the melodious sound of the bells revealed the nameless fear hidden in the darkness.

"It's the Old Ones. They're here!"

"The Old Ones?" You Ling frowned.

The cult from the western region that Camille just mentioned is a force with a crazy level of faith in God.

Of course, it is the belief in evil gods.

Aisha asked in confusion: "Why do you, Arnold and Licia, know about the Old Ones?"

"Senior Aisha, no one living in the West is unaware of the old days... When the night bell strikes twenty-one, it means the old days have come. The souls that enter the night tonight will never find peace."

Lisia added: "If this happens in the West, no matter how important the things people are doing, they will put down everything and go to the church to pray that their souls can spend the night in peace."

Yilin asked, "What will happen if we don't go to the church to pray?"

"They will go crazy because of the whispers of the ancient gods. There was an accident before. On the night of the advent of the old day, a family who did not go to church to pray went crazy the next day. It was as if they had seen some unknown horror that exceeded the limits of human cognition. The family committed suicide in a very strange way three days later."

"So, so scary!" Nova curled up in a ball inside the Millennium Brick. Even through her soul, she could feel Nova trembling.

"Then we should go to the church to pray?" Aisha thought: "No, is the church in the town really safer than the interior of Fu Sheng College? Besides, there are so many students in the college. For those who have never heard of the Old Ones, will they believe such a thing?"

"Didn't you notice anything wrong?" Irena pointed out.

"Something wrong?"

"It's unprecedented that the church bell rang three times in a row. Normally, everyone should be very surprised. But..."

Irena lowered the witch hat on her head and gestured around with her blue eyes.

At seven o'clock in the evening, although night has fallen, it is also the time when nightlife has just begun.

At the entrance of the college, students were constantly coming in and out, and the flow of people was not small. But no one stopped because of the 21 consecutive rings of the church bells.

"Are we the only ones who heard the three bell rings?" Irena guessed.

"Just ask and you'll know." Yi Lin, a sociable person in the school, grabbed a familiar face passing by and asked, "Shui Yuewu, did you hear any strange noises just now?"

"Yes." Mizunotsuki pointed at Lishia, "This girl's stomach is growling so loudly? Hurry up and feed the baby."

"You are dismissed."

"What? It's so confusing!"

After Yilin repeated the questioning with several people, Yirena's guess was confirmed. No one except them heard the abnormal sound of the church bell.

Then the situation becomes even more strange. Why do they alone hear something different from others when they are in the same space?

"You Ling... You Ling..."

The soft and weak voice of the little princess reached You Ling's mind.

"I can't hold on any longer... It's so scary. I don't want to stay outside anymore. I want to go back."

It seems that this kind of thing is too scary for Nova, a 12-year-old child.

Even though You Ling was controlling the body, he could feel Nova's slender legs instinctively trembling and weakening.

"Well, Nova, you go back first."

You Ling took the initiative to take off the Millennium Brick and gave it to Aisha, and at the same time returned control of Nova's body.

Aisha, who understood Nova's situation from You Ling, asked, "Lysia, could you please take Nova back to the first-year dormitory first? She might be too tired in the afternoon. If she encounters this situation again, I'm afraid her body won't be able to handle it."

If you think about it carefully, no matter how evil the Old Ones are, the dormitory of the Holy School of Fu is definitely the safest place. It is several times safer than an ordinary church.

"Yes, I know, Senior Aisha."

Looking at Nova's pale face, and thinking of how she had worked hard to save Arnold all afternoon, Lisia also felt guilty and distressed.

Licia suppressed her hunger and supported Nova, whose legs were weak.

"Leave Nova-chan to me. Seniors, and Arnold, please be careful too!"

After watching Licia and Nova leave, everyone looked at each other and exchanged glances.

In the Elf Continent, no matter what force it is, no one dares to touch the three major academies, so at least it is absolutely safe inside the academy.

But if you step out of the gate of Fusheng Academy now and hear the few people who ring the twenty-one gunshots in the night, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to facing the evil cult Old Ones directly.

Yilin was surprised and said, "Since you chose to send Nova-chan back to the dormitory alone, does that mean that you, Xiao Ai, are ready to deal with the cultists who are eyeing the God Card? When did you become so brave?"

Camille had just reminded them at noon today to be careful of the evil cult forces, and then in the evening the bells of the Old Ones were rung. It was obvious that the other party was coming for the God Card.

Based on Yilin's understanding of Aisha, this kind of thing involving unknown horror should be Aisha's weak spot.

"QvQ is not my Yuu, Rin-chan. You know what I mean..."

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and Aixia must have been lying if she said she wasn't afraid.

A truly brave person must be brave enough to escape.

——Soul exchange.

Jumping from the little princess' body to Aisha's body, You Ling held the pyramid of light that he had just assembled.

"The time when the old bells rang and the time when the Pyramid of Light was reassembled are almost the same. This is not a coincidence."

Slowly raise the pyramid of light in your hand in the night. Although darkness has fallen, there are many stardusts in the night sky tonight.

The brilliant starlight shone through the transparent crystal body of the pyramid, reflecting an extremely dazzling image in You Ling's hands, condensing a wonderful picture of stardust all over the sky.

The beam of stardust light in You Ling's hand seemed to have become a unique shining existence in the unknown dark environment.

"The Pyramid of Light will free lost souls. That's what's recorded in ancient books, right, Irena?"

"That's right."

"But to be honest, I have never been confused."

You Ling has a very clear goal, which is to become the Duel King. His actions are also very specific, focusing on playing cards.

If this situation can still be called confusion, then it is probably impossible to find a second clear-headed inspiration behind it.

"So, who is this soul that is lost in the light?"

When You Ling said this, it seemed like he was asking the people around him, or the people in his heart.

"Nani, have I been discovered? As expected, I am the one who can restore the Pyramid of Light in just one afternoon."

Just as You Ling guessed, the voice coming from the Pyramid of Light was the soul of a strange elf sleeping in the crystal stardust.

Chapter 266: The Lost Stardust Girl?

"What? Have I been discovered?" The girl's clear and lively voice.

On the other side, Hei Aisha in the mind room probably caught You Ling's unusual thinking pattern.

"You Ling, who are you talking to? Not me, right?"

There are too many spirits behind the scenes, and communication is so confusing!

Even You Ling's precise thinking control ability seems a bit out of place.

It is better to be careful with such things in the future, otherwise it may escalate into a Shura battlefield.

By the way, can the Shura Field with spirits behind it be called the Shura Field?

There wouldn't be anyone who really wants to use the spirit behind his back to start a harem, no way, no way!

In order to avoid such a tragic ending from happening to himself, You Ling tried his best to control the accuracy of his thoughts.

"Are you the soul of the King of Light as recorded in the ancient books?"

However, You Ling was quite disappointed that there was another soul in the Pyramid of Light.

If an item has an owner, doesn't that mean it's hard for you to take advantage of it?

Or, can we find a way to pull this guy out and get rid of him?

“The King of Light?” The girl’s clear laughter could be heard again. “Hahahaha, that kind of thing has long been gone after thousands of years.”

"If you're not the Lord of Light, then who are you?"
