Returning from the abyss

Chapter 479
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Parcival. The old headmaster was stalking Jin's injury, so he didn't notice this side.

Jingrui raised her head slightly, with a very bitter smile on her face: "Sure enough, it's you... who are so wary... the same as back then. It's a pity that we didn't become teammates again..."

"Who are you? Wait a minute, I'll ask Percival to save you—"

"If you don't save magic, you will die, Lu Ning, remember, that guy's name is Bai Guihong, don't confront him... head-on..." Jingrui's voice gradually weakened, "This..."

Lu Ning felt his wrist move, and took out something from the knot of her sleeve and stuffed it into her hand, which was also Jingrui's last words.

She looked at Jingrui's hand that fell to the ground due to loss of strength, and slowly got up.

"he died."

Parcival let out a long sigh.

"It's pure martial arts. An old man like me is not good at fighting, and the murderer didn't leave any traces."

"But we know, it's that book." Lu Ning glanced and knew that something was missing at the scene. The "Kari Myth" that was stained with Delia's blood was gone. In other words, that book was It was specially placed there to lure Delia to take the bait.

"I have to go to Dulemond, dare to commit crimes in the Violet Library, and kill so many important people, this matter can no longer be handled by the people below. I also want to ask him how this congressman is Yes!" Percival's voice was already filled with anger, and he looked at Lu Ning, "Lilian, you may be in danger now, it's best to find a protector for you here."

"No, Mr. Parcival, I can't trust anyone except you now." Lu Ning said bluntly, "I know you need to ask this matter yourself, so I don't intend to disturb you, but I want to find a protector to return to you." It's safer for me to go it alone."

"Be sure to be smart, this murderer will definitely not only act like this once." Percival reminded, thought for a while, and took out a ring from his pocket.

"Hold it, this is the spellcasting ring I used when I was young. It can assist your mental stability and magic power control. Any interference that does not exceed the level of the great magister will not hinder your stable magic power operation. I want to compare with those Things that directly kill and protect, this may help you more."

"Thank you, Headmaster."

"No... I want to thank you, you realized the other side of the magic book before me, at least now we can control the situation in our hands." Percival glanced outside, "I'll send you back first Go to a safe place, and if you have anything to do in the future, come to Gaessen to find me, or show any of the teachers there the ring I gave you, and there will be shelter for you."

"I understand."

After explaining the good things, Percival did not say much, first took Lu Ning back to the Moonstone area, and then left in a hurry.

And in the middle of the night, the one-eyed squid had already closed, so Lu Ning told Percival that the location was near the Crow Hotel.

This was the first time she came here when the hotel was officially open, but the number of guests today was very small. Pierre sat behind the bar with a bored look on his face, and when he saw Lu Ning coming over, he quickly got up and greeted her.

"Lilian, you haven't been here for a long time."

"Just a few days, by the way, why are there so few customers today?"

"Because there are always accidents, many people dare not come out in the middle of the night." Pierre shrugged, "It's normal, there are always some strange things happening in Ewalang. If there are too many, it is easy to cause some fear."

"Forget it, help me find a quiet room, I want to rest."

"no problem."

It wasn't until the door was locked that Lu Ning took out what Jingrui gave her, a piece of silk.

"Asayama Kiyotaro." Lu Ning muttered to herself.Jingrui finally used the title "teammate", and although she has cooperated with many people in various scenes, she can only be called a teammate officially in confrontation scenes.And the only scene with teammates, except for herself, was Zhu You and Asayama Kiyotaro who survived.

But it doesn't matter now, she can only know that there may be many more familiar people in this scene than she thought.

There are only two short lines of poems on the silk, but this is not the true meaning of the silk that Asayama gave her. She drew a refining formation, placed it on it, and activated the alchemy—there was nothing occur.

"The remaining pages of the magic book, as expected, the council has no intention of recycling this thing..."

Lu Ning put away the silk, and now she has three broken pages of the magic book in her hand, a stone, a pile of silver thread, and this silk.There are so many magic books flowing out of the library, but the council is not in a hurry to take them back at all. Lu Ning can't think of any other reason except to put a long line to catch big fish.

With complicated thoughts, Lu Ning couldn't sleep well.After getting up with vigilance the next day, she felt even more tired.

"It's terrible." Lu Ning rubbed her head. She wanted to make a sober potion for herself and pour it down, but she didn't know which one she needed more now, sobriety or sleeping.This messy mind made her distracted for a while before climbing out of bed.

Today is the second day that the library is open, but she is not going to go there either.After sorting out her thoughts, Lu Ning took off the magician badge on her chest, and slightly closed her eyes.

She started meditating.

Soon, a feeling of communicating with some unknown existence appeared in her mind, and Lu Ning immediately began to form the appearance of Eliel in her mind.

At the moment when that appearance was formed, a golden light gushed out from its body, turning this appearance into a little bit of golden powder.

Then, Jingrui's appearance also began to slowly appear, which was the same as before, and was transformed into golden light when it was finalized.

Lu Ning opened her eyes. After meditating, her mood improved a little. The previous verification also confirmed two things. One is what it would be like to make a successful denunciation, and the other is that even the dead can still be denounced.

"In this case... I have to visit the Penglai House today."

After eating something casual at Pierre's, Lu Ning started walking towards the garnet area.

There is still no change in the Ewa Gallery during the day. It seems that most people dare not go out at night.However, the distance between the Moonstone area and the Garnet area is as far as going to the Opal area. Lu Ning felt that most of her time was wasted on the road.

But when you arrive in the garnet area, you can feel the difference between this area and other areas.

There are no commercial areas, old and solid houses can be seen everywhere, and the feeling of grandeur even makes her feel like she is in the central city.There are no dense commercial places, so there are no concentrated crowds. Every person walking on the street is integrated into this street scene, and there is no sense of disharmony at all.

After asking one or two people a little, Lu Ning found the Penglai House.This courtyard-style building with an ancient oriental atmosphere actually uses a lot of gardening techniques, and the layout also uses Fengshui, which Pengshan is very good at. Although Lu Ning does not understand it, standing at the door, he feels the breeze and smooth breathing. The spirit lifted a lot.

Entering the main entrance is a store, and stepping on the wooden floor with some slight noises can remind people around that someone is coming.The different types of supplies in the store are sold in different areas, and each area is watched by a full-time magician.The conversations between customers and clerks are soft-spoken and do not disturb others.

Before Lu Ning could find a clerk to ask questions, she saw Pengshan Yuanzi turning out from behind a screen, wearing a black hunting suit, with long hair parted, and only a forehead guard tied on his forehead.

"Your guest is coming, so it is Miss Lilian, please come in." Pengshan Yuanzi smiled.

Guided by her, the two walked to the courtyard at the back, and soon came to a not too big guest room. High altar.

After a servant served tea and refreshments, there were only two people left in the room.Lu Ning was silent for a moment, and asked, "How did you know I was coming?"

"Pengshan's homework, morning and evening hexagrams, don't ask about good or bad luck, just sit in the usual way, and I will have guests come to the door." Pengshan Yuanzi poured tea for the two, "Originally we The agreement is after the library is opened, since Miss Lilian is so impatient, there must be some huge change."

"Yes." Lu Ning looked at the Conferred God Terrace, "Two murders occurred in the Violet Library yesterday, and five people died. Since accidents have started in such core places, I don't think it is possible to continue the investigation and preparation slowly. It's time."

"Five people died?"

"Jingrui, do you know this person?"

Pengshan Yuanzi took a sip of tea, closed his eyes for a moment, finally opened them and nodded: "Is he dead?"

"Yes, I saw him die with my own eyes."

"Who moved the hand?"

"His last words said that it was a man named Hiroshi Hyakki."

"That's his original name, not the name here. You can't tell him through his original name and unknown appearance." Pengshan Yuanzi said, "Hyakki Hiroshi may not be very famous among you, but in the circle of us people He is a famous martial idiot."

"Wu Chi?"

"He will learn all the ways to make himself stronger in combat, and he will challenge all kinds of difficult monsters in the scene, and even at the end of the scene, with half of his body, he insisted on returning alive to the vehicle that picked up the tourists. At least among us, normal tourists can't beat him in a fair environment, and this person has no distinction between good and evil except for practicing martial arts, just to see which side can make him stronger."

"What about magic?"

"Magic is also a kind of combat power, and he will definitely not refuse. Even without magic, the various stunts he has mastered in the martial arts hall are enough to assassinate some magicians who only know how to chant spells."

After Pengshan Yuanzi finished speaking, he drank the tea in the cup and poured himself another cup.

"Then this Baiguihong has obviously joined the opponent's camp. No wonder Jingrui won't let me face him head-on."

"It's very difficult to kill him. If he was just an idiot practicing martial arts, he wouldn't be able to live today. Lilian, if it was me, I would make the same suggestion."

"Pengshan Yuanzi, I want to ask you a question." Lu Ning said suddenly.

"please say."

"You said that there are still eleven places in this Conferred God Platform. I already know that you have reserved nine people who may encounter accidents and gave the places in advance. That means you didn't use it yourself, right?"

"Naturally." Pengshan Yuanzi said lightly, "Even among the gods, there should be a place of Qingfu God on the stage of the gods. If no one is outside and finally breaks through the realm of reality, how can we surpass the heavens and the earth?" Back to life?"

"Then, no one else used it either." Lu Ning looked at her, "Why didn't any of you use the Conferred God Platform?"

"You want to know the disadvantages of Fengshentai." Pengshan Yuanzi said what Lu Ning implied in one sentence, "but you are fully aware of its function. Fujii should have already described everything, no more, no less. The reason for not using it , precisely because it is not necessary.”

"Where did you get your confidence?" Lu Ning asked.

"Could it be that you are here to ask me to add your name on it?" Pengshan Yuanzi asked back.

Lu Ning was startled, seeing Pengshan Yuanzi's calm expression, she suddenly laughed.

"Can you see that?"

"Divination of people, observe their actions, look at their faces, observe their words, clear their eyes, and know their original intentions, this is family learning."

"When I have time, I must show you a person who has no expression every day, and see who is better between the two of you." Lu Ning picked up her teacup, "Pengshan, then I will make it clear, I don't need to put my own With my name written on it, I am confident that I will not die. But I still need your help, or your help."

"just do you best."

"At this time, you are starting to shirk? It doesn't matter...you can definitely do it. Oh, yes, there is one more thing I came here, which was a question I thought of not long ago. The Violet Library claims to collect magic books from all over the world, but It has never been said that it is really collected. Then you ancient Ewalong residents, do you have any collections at home?"

"You are the third person who noticed this without knowing it, as far as I know." Pengshan Yuanzi smiled slightly, "Magic guide book, if you ask most people in Ewalang, the answer you get is the library, only Few people know that some ancient families in Ewalang also have one or two magic books in their collections."

"The Pengshan family has such a book, and with your ability, you must have completed the task." Lu Ning said in a positive tone.

"Is it a rubbing? I have already obtained it, but I can only get this one that belongs to me." Pengshan Yuanzi nodded, "Don't think that it is easy to get it in my own family, Those two have also asked about this before."

"Pengshan..." Lu Ning looked solemnly, "You have learned it, haven't you?"

The tea mist was no longer rising, but it didn't take long for the two of them to come in, and a pot of new tea didn't cool down so quickly.

"Kindness, what made you notice it?"

"Because you are good at those things that you call family learning. If you say that you can build the Conferred God Platform, I believe it, but its core content, the part related to the soul, must be able to be done by Garcia, a necromancer, unless you You can also find a second person who is proficient in necromancy. But now, you have to take the position of the Qingfu God outside the Conferred God Stage."

"So, of course it's because I'm suitable too, isn't it? Considering the difficulty of obtaining the rubbings, the time is almost the same. This is your inference." Pengshan Yuanzi pushed the hair on his shoulders outward, and Lu Ning could vaguely see the phantom of a butterfly flying towards the yard.

""Funeral Rituals", this is the magic guide book collected by the Pengshan family."
