Chapter 179 The Secret of the Ruin Mine
The reason why Moonlight Knight is sure that he has someone to help him is because Victoria once gave him a hint to let him leave the Golden Roof Palace quickly, and someone will help him. He finally understood that Victoria and the princess were on his side.

But where is he himself?
Both Moonnight Knight and Truman couldn't figure it out for a moment.

It seems to be... trying to hinder the Spiritual Essay Contest?
But why did the princess hinder the spiritual contest?
After a brief exchange between Moonlight Knight and Lear, it was confirmed that Lear was indeed Victoria's helper. As for what to help, Lear was not clear.

"He arrived as soon as he barked, and he didn't even understand what to do when he arrived, but he was willing. Could it be that your Excellency is the legendary 'Licking Dog'?"

"What is 'Lick the Dog'?"

"A very menacing creature."

The moonlight knight thought, this Lear seems to have an extraordinary background in Octo, he is handsome, talented, and extraordinary, so don't let him accidentally lick Victoria away...

No, now is not the time to think about these things. The key at this moment is to find out the truth behind the finals, so as to prevent Truman from being plotted against in the competition.

"I have to go see the princess!" Moonlight Knight said to Lear.

……

This side of the Golden Roof Palace.

Truman and other contestants came back to the underground palace.

The group included Truman, Lilith, Chen Angxing, Nocha Denton, Fervin Darcy, and Professor Yang.

After the Moonlight Knight was eliminated, there were only six people left. Among these six people, Truman, Chen Angxing and Professor Yang held three keys, so naturally, three groups were formed centered on three people.

Truman and Lilith are old partners. Chen Angxing and two spiritual experts were originally in a team, but Professor Yang has a great reputation in the field of spiritual literature. Nocha Denton and Fervin Darcy seem to want to form a team with him. , and eventually Fervin Darcy won the honor.

Now that the three groups have regrouped, in front of them is the 'Xu Mine'.

The king's description of this task is very simple, just obtain a complete "spiritual genealogy", but that seems to mean translating tens of thousands of words of spiritual text, and the workload is extremely huge.

Nocha Denton was the only one who had the experience of excavating the 'Ruins Mine'. He described the process like this:
"The excavation work of the Hai 5 genealogy that I participated in does not need to translate every spiritual text, but only needs to release them from the ruins mine to the carrier. After confirming that the carrier of the Hai 5 genealogy is a shell, we collected a large number of Shells, and then by using a key to open the Ruin Mine, let the spirit text condense on these shells and become a carrier."

"How did you determine that the carrier of the Hai 5 lineage was a shell?" Chen Angxing asked.

Nocha Denton explained: "It has also been tried. After all, the key is a fish, so the carrier will be related to the fish. We have tried various algae and corals, and finally the shell became the only adaptor."

"So this may be a physical experiment? We need to try various textures of carriers?" Lilith said, with excitement in her voice, this work is obviously perfect for a 'craftsman' of.

"Indeed it is," said Nocha Denton.

"It's not just that." Professor Yang opened his mouth. This was the first time he expressed his opinion. Everyone listened carefully immediately. Truman suspected that he was disguised by the "Three Sisters". After all, the timing of his appearance was too coincidental. , so also observe carefully.

"The mine and the key will convert an unsuitable carrier into a suitable carrier, provided that the carrier is available for transformation." Professor Yang said, "We can judge from this what the carrier that is really suitable for a lineage is."

Everyone understood this sentence well.

Nocha Denton frowned. He shook his head, as if he couldn't believe it. He said: "The only one with the adaptability of the extraordinary power of the whole domain is...human beings."

Yes, only humans can be the bearers of the extraordinary power of any of the Old Ones.

After hearing Nocha Denton's words, the other contestants all showed expressions of thought, and then showed expressions of astonishment.

"What does that mean... Is it a suitable carrier to use humans to try?" Lilith asked Truman in a low voice.

Truman nodded slightly, but with heavy emotions. Obviously, if the suitable carrier of a pedigree is glass, even stained glass with a red interlayer, how many tries will it take to find it?
On the contrary, if a substance that can be transformed is tried, this substance will automatically transform into red laminated glass, which is much easier.

"But... Dear Professor Yang, we did not use this method when translating Hai 5." Nocha Denton said.

"Really?" Professor Yang asked with a smile, "Didn't there be any experts who died of accidents when the genealogy was discovered? Didn't there be any human beings who died in a very special way? According to your description, it should be a shellfish. human corpses?"

Following Professor Yang's words, Nocha Denton's expression became a little trembling. He seemed to recall some terrible mysteries that were unsolved at the beginning, and now he has the answer.

"So, the king forced us to stay," said Fervin Darcy, showing a fearful expression. "The king requires every contestant to have an assistant by his side. Could it be used as experimental materials?"

Having said that, Fervin Darcy looked at Professor Yang, and Professor Yang nodded to him with a smile. This smile looked as scary as a devil to Fervin Darcy. He turned around and was about to run out of the palace, but This time the guards following him stopped him.

"No one can leave until the game is finished." The guard said blankly.

"Put Fervin Darcy Knight next to the Ruins Mine," Professor Yang said.

Two guards grabbed Fervin Darcy's arms and carried him to the side of the stone platform where the Ruins Mine was placed.

During the whole process, this 40-year-old spiritual expert struggled desperately, but he was only a researcher after all, and he couldn't break free from the two heavily armed guards.

"Professor Yang!" Nocha Denton shouted, "You can't do this!"

"Didn't everyone come here to win the competition?" Professor Yang said, "I'm not interested in Onsa's title, but I want to witness the birth of a new lineage of spiritual writing. I believe that Mr. Fuwen has also contributed to the study of spiritual writing. A sense of life, right?"

"Professor Yang, I'm not like this..." Fervin Darcy said struggling.

At this time, Professor Yang had put a seal in his hand on Fervin Darcy's forehead.

The seal was a watery light yellow. This kind of seal format and material had never been seen in Angsa, but it was very familiar to Truman. It should be Tian Huangshi. The "characteristics" formed by the three-character Lingwen of Ce' appeared.
