Episode 14: Demons Chapter 31: Escort Mission
Seeing the handwriting on the cover. Linley couldn’t help but be startled in his heart.
A brief description of the seven elemental law arcana? Lin Lei’s biggest problem nowadays was that he didn’t know anything about many of the arcana of the Laws of the Elements, although it was said that …… the arcana of the Laws couldn’t be taught by others. Can only rely on their own realization, but, at least point out a direction. Will make the cultivation path will not take a detour.
“Bebe. Show me.”
Linley was eager in his heart. Even said.
“Know that boss wants it.”
Bebe smiled. Throwing the book over.
Delia was refining the Godhead. There was no need to comprehend the Laws Arcana at all. Naturally there was no need to read any books, and Bebe …… with his exhausting nature, could not be that energetic, Bebe understood when he saw this book that his boss would definitely like it very much.
Holding this book. Linley immediately flipped through it to the ‘Chapter on the Laws of the Earth’.
Earth Laws. There were a total of six great arcane mysteries. They were the ‘element of earth’, ‘power’, ‘geomancy’, ‘life force’, ‘Gravity Space’, and ‘Earth Pulse’. These six arcane arts were briefly introduced in this book. As well as the power of the book.
There were even some simple applications attached.
“Earth pulsation. Such an application?” Linley couldn’t help but secretly shake his head as he read it, “The person who wrote this book only seems to know a little about earth pulsations.”
Comprehending earth pulsations, Linley naturally saw that the author of this book. Either he knew a skinny, or he was …… hiding something.
The so-called application methods were all extremely simple and generally powerful.
For the application method introduction, Lin Lei didn’t care at all, Lin Lei valued the description of the various law arcana.
“I see!” Linley marveled when he saw the description of the ‘power’ arcana, “Originally, I thought that there was a ‘thickness’ in the Laws of the Earth, but it turns out that this is just the ‘power’ arcana. This is only one aspect of the ‘power’ arcana.”
The power arcana was an extremely advanced arcana regarding material attacks in the Laws of the Earth, and it was very complex.
Reading the books, Linley couldn’t feel the passage of time.
“So. That’s the Earthwalking Technique.”
Linley marveled. “Back then, the ‘Rock Sword Saint’ of the O’Brien Empire, Hedson, had already tentatively touched the edge of the ‘Earthwalking Art’ arcana.”
Back then. Hedson easily reached dozens of meters away with a single step. Linley and the rest of them were surprised at the time.
In fact, this was the most elementary manifestation of the ‘Earthwalking Technique’ arcane mystery, not even close to being considered introductory.
The Earthwalking Technique, which could fuse one’s entire being into the boundless earth element, Black Dessen hadn’t instantly moved in the first place, but rather, he had instantly fused himself into the earth element and then moved to another location. And then suddenly come out again.
Back then, Black Dessen’s strength wasn’t good either. The fusion time with the earth element was also extremely short.
As for the truly strong, the ‘Earth Walking Technique’ was performed. He completely disappeared. They could fuse with the elements of the earth and sky for a long time.
After reading about the six arcane laws of the earth, Linley flipped to the ‘Wind Elemental Laws’ chapter.
Wind elemental law. Possessing the most earth law arcana, there were a total of nine arcana, which were ‘wind element’, ‘splitting technique’, ‘sound wave’, ‘vocal music ‘, ‘Wind Walking Technique’, ‘Wind Space’, ‘Sublime’, ‘Fast ‘, and ‘slow’ these nine types of arcana.
Although there were nine of them, however, when applied in the hands of different powerhouses, the power was not the same.
Moreover. The same elemental law arcana. Can be fused. Any two can be fused. Any three can be fused …… different combinations. Applied to different attacks, that power end was marvelous and incomparable.
“Wind space, so that’s how it is.”
Linley’s eyes were glowing as he watched.
“Sublime, this is the strongest material attack of the wind elemental law.”
Linley looked at the description of the ‘sublime’ arcane. He couldn’t help but tremble in his heart.
For a long time – “Eh?” Linley looked around suspiciously. “Why isn’t there a bright light anymore.”
“Boss. It’s dark.”
Bebe and Delia both laughed at the moment, “You’ve been looking at it for most of the day.”
Linley looked up. There was indeed a sickle-shaped purple moon in the sky.
“Haha ……”
Linley couldn’t help but laugh as well. “This book is really good, even though reading him didn’t improve my law comprehension one bit. But at least. It let me know the general direction.”
Linley also understood that comprehension still depended on one’s own ground.
“Can’t look, can’t look anymore.”
Linley lamented, “I’m currently comprehending the Law Arcana. I haven’t comprehended it successfully yet, there’s no rush.”
Actually, Law Arcana. It wasn’t that simple.
Looking at this divine level. But when one truly goes to comprehend it. I’m afraid that getting started can’t even be done, such as clearly knowing. This ‘earthwalking technique’ requires the whole person to fuse into the earth element. But how to fuse it? This can not be described in words. It was a kind of comprehension of the laws of the earth! Early the next morning. Linley and the others then set off for the Purplebriar Castle.
“In order to set off for the Phantom Blue Mansion, one must at the very least know the geographic information of this inferno. That’s how one can formulate a departure route.”
Linley only knew right now that Hell had five massive, nearly limitless continents. As well as the Sea of Star Fog and the Sea of Chaos.
To go to the Blood Peak Continent, the Pixie Blue Mansion.
Linley only knew that he had to leave the Zijing Continent first, and then cross the vast Sea of Star Fog before arriving at the other side of the land, the Blood Peak Continent.
Inside the first floor hall of the Bauhinia Castle, Linley didn’t find a counter for books last time, but this time after asking the service staff. Only after asking the service staff, did they learn where the books were sold, and it turned out that …… the place where the Bauhinia Castle bought and sold items was not just a counter.
There are also some independent rooms.
This book. The books are placed in some separate rooms on the side of the hall. Linley’s trio stepped into them, and the number of people looking at the books was very sparse.
“So many books!” Bebe marveled at the stacks of books.
“Look carefully, find the ones about the geographical messages of the entire hell.”
Linley said.
The three of them then separated and began to search carefully. There were quite a few books about geography, some specializing in the ‘Ye Mure Mansion’. There were also those that told about the vast ‘Zijing Continent’. As for the one about the entire Hell. Linley had only found one. It was only a book with a brief map.
What Linley needed. It wasn’t just maps. There were also books about the dangerous places in hell, the desperate situations, and so on.
After all, the three of them weren’t that strong. It would be terrible if they were to fall into that kind of danger. It was better to know beforehand.
“Linley. Bebe. You guys come over and take a look.”
Delia shouted.
Linley and Bebe immediately walked over. At the moment, Delia was holding a dark red book that was five or six centimeters thick, and on top of the book were just four words, ‘Overview of Hell’. Bebe smacked his lips and said, ”It’s that thin? My book about ‘Ye Murefu’ is that thick.”
How vast was hell? If it was described in detail. Not to mention such a thick book. Even ten books would not be enough to describe it.
“Not bad. It’s so thick. It’s probably not a simple map.”
Linley smiled as he took the book.
After flipping through it slightly, sure enough. It was similar to what Linley had imagined.
“It’s almost the same. Although this book’s description is not much, the geography of Hell’s five continents, two oceans, and 108 mansions are all roughly introduced, and even the ten cities and pools in each mansion as well as a number of other dangerous regional messages are all introduced.”
Hell was simply too big.
If there were two or three pages for the introduction of one Mansion, then the 108 Mansions would add up to nearly three hundred pages.
Moreover, the paper of this hell book is relatively special, even after fire and water immersion, there won’t be any problem, after all, this is not the kind of fragile paper in the material plane, just the thickness of each page is slightly thicker than the ordinary paper in the material plane.
Just a very brief introduction to hell, there are five or six centimeters thick a book.
If it was that kind of detailed introduction, I’m afraid that it would take such a thick book. A few hundred books would be about right.
“How much is this?” Linley looked towards the purple-robed attendant not far away.
That attendant walked over. After glancing at it, he said with a smile, “One hundred inkstones.”
“Oh.”
Linley immediately took out a hundred inkstones and gave them to the other party. For Linley, who had over a hundred million inkstones in assets today, a hundred inkstones was indeed nothing. One hundred inkstones was indeed nothing, but Linley and the others also understood that …… their assets were indeed nothing.
After all. A Death Golem was worth 100 million.
Some high grade metal beings. It was also worth over a hundred million, and some of the grandiose characters within the city were worth billions. It was normal for them to be worth billions.
Over a hundred million? At least a normal life was considered good.
“Huh. How come I’m here. Didn’t find any books about law arcane descriptions?” Linley inquired to this attendant.
“Those kinds of books are slightly more expensive, they’re placed in the second level hall, one book is worth several thousand inkstones, and the better ones are over ten thousand inkstones.”
The attendant said. “And this kind of basic knowledge books, are cheaper.”
Leaving the Violet Bauhinia Castle. Linley’s three chose a restaurant next door. This time, Linley ordered a table worth over a thousand dishes, which was slightly more extravagant.
While in the restaurant, Linley flipped through the geography book.
“Linley, have you determined the route?” Delia inquired.
Linley closed the book. Nodding slightly, he said, “The Blood Peak Continent. It’s in the southeasternmost part of the entire Inferno, while our Violet Bauhinia Continent is in the north, and in order to go to the Blood Peak Continent, we’ll first have to arrive at the Coastal Cities of the Violet Bauhinia Continent’s Rainbow Yang Prefecture Lands. Of the ten cities in the Hongyang Prefecture. One of them, Blue Maple City, is right next to the Star Mist Sea, so it’s best that we, first, arrive at that Blue Maple City!” “According to the descriptions in the books, there are quite a few teams that go to the Blood Peak Continent from Blue Maple City.”
Linley said, “It’s just that, our Ye Mure Prefecture, Emperor Wing City. It’s roughly nearly four billion miles away from that Rainbow Yang Prefecture’s Blue Maple City!” The land of this mansion. It was normal for the circumference to be over a billion miles.
From the Ye Mu Province’s Emperor Wing City. To the Hongyang Prefecture’s coastal city, ‘Blue Maple City’, four billion miles was also expected.
“Four billion miles. Ugh.”
Bei Bei glared, “It’s too far, it’ll take ages to get to that Blue Maple City. And it’s probably dangerous.”
Linley laughed, “What’s the rush, it’s not like we’re going alone. After we finish eating. Just go to Devil’s Castle. Take on an escort mission from Emperor’s Wing City to Blue Maple City, and then, won’t we just go there on the way?” This kind of escort mission. There would usually be quite a few demons in the land together.
Linley and the three of them were also participating. The road would naturally be much safer. Even if they encountered danger, a group of demons together. It would also be much better.
“Taking on a quest? I haven’t officially taken on a mission yet.”
Bebe was somewhat looking forward to it.
“Sir, the ‘Golden Scaled Thin Silk Fish’ you requested is ready.”
The wait staff placed a plate of delicacies that glowed with a golden light that surprisingly made one’s eyes feel a little burned on the table.
Linley smiled and said, “Bei Bei, don’t think about the task, just finish eating first. You ordered this fish, right? It costs over three hundred inkstones, taste it, how does it feel.”
After eating, Linley’s trio arrived at the Devil’s Castle, the first floor lobby receptionist. After old acquaintance Yuna knew the trio’s intention, she smiled and pointed out to Linley and the others, “This receiving quests is to the upper floors, one-star demons to three-star demons all receive quests on the second floor, four-star demons to six-star demons. All go to the third floor to receive quests.”
The second floor of the Demon Castle. The place for one-star demons to receive their quests. There was a row of rooms, and Linley stepped into one of them.
“Speak up, what quests to take?” The young man sitting cross-legged on the ground said indifferently.
“An escort mission, from Emperor Wing City to that Rainbow Yang Province’s Blue Maple City.”
Linley spoke, “Preferably. It’s a two-star mission.”
Linley and the others were one-star demons, and could at most take on two-star missions. And once a two-star mission was completed, they would naturally be two-star demons.
The youth nodded slightly. After closing his eyes for a moment, he immediately flipped his hand. A dossier appeared in his hand, and he flipped it open and said, “Escort missions from Emperor Wing City to Rainbow Yang Province’s Blue Maple City. There are eleven types. Among them, there are three that are two-star lands, so take a look.”
Saying this, he handed the dossier to Linley and the others.
With a slight glance. Linley identified one, “It’s the two-star mission in twenty days, right?”
The reason why Linley had chosen this one. It was because there was a lot of people recruited for this escort mission, a hundred two-star demons alone!
