Plane Overlord of Rebirth

Chapter 99 Before Inheritance

After Lin Ao left, only Chen Ning and the old man were left in Crofts' office.

Crofts picked up the water glass that Chen Ning brought to him just now, took a sip of tea, and stared at Chen Ning like a falcon.

The feeling of being stared at by a sanctuary-level powerhouse made Chen Ning feel almost out of breath. The huge pressure seemed to make Chen Ning's legs tremble uncontrollably. Almost exerting all his willpower, he managed not to make a fool of himself under the pressure of Crofts, but his already weak face became even paler.

"Edward...or some other name, I investigated you, now can you tell me who you are?" The first sentence Crofts said made Chenning's heart skip a beat. Did Crofts also see through his true face from a different plane?Soon, Chen Ning calmed down. This is unlikely. It is not easy to see the essence of the soul at a glance. In Tosha, he met the great sage of Macon and was indeed seen through at a glance, but Macon Being able to see through does not mean that Crofts can also do it.Macon is the actualization of the rules of the plane in the Tosha world, and he is the leader of the plane who leads the entire plane against the invasion of hell. It is not uncommon to have such an ability.And Crofts is just a sanctuary-level figure, how could he be able to do this?
Sure enough, Chen Ning's biggest worry didn't come to pass. Crofts continued: "It's strange. I haven't found any news about you since you appeared on the east side and the Prome rookie battlefield."

Chen Ning did not continue to remain silent, he explained: "The main reason is that my teacher and I practiced in the deep mountains and old forests, and basically rarely came out. After my teacher passed away, I left Evert... ..." Chen Ning has always been good at it. His statement makes people unable to find out, but obviously, it is not easy to convince others of this statement. Chen Ning is still thinking of a way to see if he can do it. Let Crofts trust himself.

Before Chen Ning finished speaking, he was interrupted by Crofts: "Okay, I'm not from the Fourth Federal Intelligence Service, and I don't want to find out all about you. Now, I want to recruit a core Disciple, I think your aptitude is good, are you interested in becoming my student?"

Chen Ning was overjoyed: "Of course, this is my honor."

Crofts snorted coldly: "Don't rush to be happy." He continued, "It's not so easy to become my personal student. Here, take these things back and have a look. I need them within two weeks. You have mastered this ability, and this is also your first trial. Finish it as soon as possible, and don't bother me until it's done!" After finishing speaking, Crofts waved his hand and wanted to send Chen Ning to leave.

Watching Chen Ning walk out of the door, Crofts stared out the window, his thoughts drifting away to nowhere.The thing he gave Chen Ning just now was a piece of parchment, on which were some small mystery knight tricks left by Crofts' teacher, which were of little use.However, in order to complete the use of such small skills, it is necessary to integrate the power of the arcane into the martial arts. In other words, without the talent of the mysterious knight, it is impossible to master these skills.For example, Crofts, who is not talented and intelligent, who can become a sanctuary-level powerhouse, who doesn't have extraordinary talent?However, he couldn't complete even the simplest one of the skills left by his teacher. The talent of the mysterious knight is really too rare.

The reason why he didn't bother with Chen Ning's background is actually very simple.If Chen Ning can't complete the "homework" he left behind, and can't learn those little skills, it proves that Chen Ning doesn't have the talent to become a mysterious knight, so what does Chen Ning's identity matter?Are there still fewer people with ulterior motives in Red Moon Academy?Red Moon Academy is a very open school. Even students from enemy countries who are at war will be admitted as long as they can complete the entrance examination of the academy.If you don't violate the school rules after entering the academy, you won't be expelled.Chen Ning didn't do anything wrong, so what reason does Crofts have to trouble him?
And if Chen Ning really has the talent to become a mysterious knight, then his identity will not be a problem.Even if Chen Ning is the devil of the abyss, as long as the inheritance of the mysterious knights of the Crofts lineage can be continued, then Crofts will not care about anything-the inheritance of the mysterious knights has already been established. It made Crofts dazed, and it was the burden of his soul for decades.He once swore to his teacher with his soul that he would definitely find an inheritor in this life, otherwise he would not step into the legend in his life, and his soul would suffer in eternal purgatory for a hundred years after death.This is a magical oath, supervised by the highest law of the plane, and it is bound to come true.

However, up to now, even as a sanctuary-level powerhouse, half of his life has passed, and he is almost desperate to find someone who has the talent of a mysterious knight. He refuses to give up any A possibility, but the reality still gave him countless blows.Now for him, the inheritance of the mysterious knight has become a heavy burden on Crofts' heart.Not only the bondage of the oath, but what he fears most is being ashamed of his teacher, fearing that the inheritance of the mysterious knight will be broken in his hands.Although he can also find someone to throw down the inheritance of the mysterious knight for his apprentice to find again like his teacher did, but the best thing is to find a qualified inheritor directly.

Crofts didn't really have much hope, though.There are so many new students in Red Moon Academy every year, and he has to catch more than a dozen of them every year for trials, but after decades have passed, he still has not been able to find a suitable inheritor. Chen Ning is just Once again, he made a bet in a state of confusion and even despair.

Collecting thousands of thoughts, Crofts began to meditate.He is also an archmage, and meditation is of course a daily homework.

In the state of meditation, the flow of time is very fast.Crofts thought it was only a short while before he heard a knock on his office door.

Crofts was a little annoyed. Although most of his combat power was not manifested in magic, magic was still the foundation of his power, and he still regarded meditation as more important.And interrupting a great mage while he was meditating was a very unpleasant thing.

As soon as Crofts was mentally alert, the door to his office opened automatically.This is a simple magic trick, there is no need to mention it, but when he saw Chen Ning coming in from the door, he habitually opened his mouth and cursed:
"Asshole, didn't I tell you not to come to me before you mastered those skills? Who told you to interrupt my meditation without my permission?"
