Chapter 67: Four Crystals
The House of the Senior Taoist Priest, the Dean's Office.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the outside world, the dean's interior is as clean as if it were another world.
A stove of sandalwood, a pot of charcoal, and a cup of hot tea, Dean Ren, who was concentrating on tea drinking, didn't seem to see the tassel sitting opposite and full of anxiety.
"Cousin! When has it been since you were still concentrating on drinking tea? Hai Tianlan actually fought against Lin Ao in public, do you want to suppress it? If you don't go, it's too late! ”
Dean Ren is Tassel's cousin, which is something that no one knows, which is the key reason why Tassel dares to determine a special case as a mentor.
"What are you worried about? Are you worried that you will lose the special case you found? ”
Dean Ren looked at the tassel with a smile, and there was a kind of wisdom unique to an old man in his eyes.
Dean Ren was only a forty-fifth level warrior, and in this year when all the high-level combat skill cultivators were missing, such a level was already very high.
It's a pity that Dean Ren is not too keen on the cultivation of combat skills, and he yearns for the pastoral life, so he is already in his twilight years, but his level is a little inconsistent with his age.
Taking over the home of a senior Taoist priest is a task assigned by the state that cannot be avoided, but even so, Dean Ren is still willing to spend a lot of time making tea and tasting tea to reminisce about his pastoral time.
"I'm worried that he'll lose, after all, he's a special case I've found! I'm not worried about him losing, and it's also because he's a special case I've found! But there is no such thing as a double game, so I want you to suppress this battle, and even if it does happen, it will be settled in private. ”
Speaking of Hai Tianlan, the hot tassel suffered some gains and losses, and once again complained about himself in his heart, why did he single-handedly create this situation that made it difficult for him to ride a tiger.
"Haha...... Then I don't care! Anyway, this matter started because of you, so it's better for you to worry alone. ”
"Okay, since you don't use your identity as the dean to suppress it, then let Hai Tianlan win! Don't blame me if your strength is exposed, it's contrary to your original intention! ”
Tassel pursed her mouth, and in a fit of anger she actually made a little temperament, and if the little woman's posture of whirring was seen by her admirers, she would probably be deeply intoxicated.
Seeing the tassel like this, Dean Ren felt a headache and hurriedly explained.
"Silly girl, things can't just be taken at the surface! Maybe you think I'm old and stubborn, but I'm not! It's the dragon that has to travel for nine days, and some things can't be completely suppressed! And, when I first said that he was going to hide his strength, I just wanted to get to know a person in this way. ”
"Hai Tianlan's performance is so abnormal, some of the things you described about him, and what I saw when the two of you were fighting, made me position him as three kinds of people in my heart!"
"The first type of person is like he said, he is an ordinary combat skill cultivator, but he is more hardworking, and he has the talent to achieve the current results, and the main purpose of his coming to the academy is to enter the library to take a look at the books."
"The second type of person, you said that he has some injuries that make it difficult for him to play for a period of time! I have seen this strange lesion caused by an injury, and one of the several cases recorded in it is amnesia! Combined with the fact that he was going to enter the library to take a look at the books, I wonder if he was looking for memories or something? Moreover, his meat knife, the ability to use weapons with both hands, and the fact that he did not dodge in a normal form [**], and some other small details, are also very similar to the two people recorded in the "Marfa Secret Codex"! ”
"Whether he's the first or the second, I don't need to get to know him that way, and the reason I'm doing it is because of the third!"
Dean Ren, who looked calm about the old man, stopped here when he said this, the hand holding the kettle actually trembled a little, and the teacup was sent to his lips a few times before he finally drank the tea.
"Cousin, you mean! What is the third type of person? ”
The tassel stomped his foot and couldn't help but ask! Her heart was very nervous, from the moment he positioned Hai Tianlan as a special case, they had been invisibly tied together, one glory and one loss!
"The state has confirmed that people infected by demonic energy are real! This kind of person who is called a demon has too many things on their body that are not yet known, so I want to know about Haitian Blue. However, it seems that he is not a demon now, and if he were a demon, he would have kept a low profile without me saying it, and it would definitely not be like this. ”
Hai Tianlan is not a bad person, but the tassel didn't get happy, but because of the "demon" thing, Yuandai's brows furrowed.
**********
In the lounge next to the martial arts arena, Yu Lan sat next to Hai Tianlan, and the rest of the people were all students who had fought side by side with Hai Tianlan in the half-orc tomb, and the battle between him and Lin Ao would begin soon.
From yesterday's meeting to now, almost except for sleep, Yu Lan has stayed with Hai Tianlan. Although there are not many words between the two of them, Yu Lan is also very happy to be able to quietly watch Hai Tianlan talk to others like now.
If you really want to say that you are unhappy, Yulan has it too! That is, Hai Tianlan will always intentionally or unintentionally avoid her affectionate eyes. Yu Lan is a very reserved girl, which can be seen from her embarrassment when she first wore a cloth dress to face Hai Tianlan, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth when the words came to her mouth.
"Tianlan, there are a lot of people who want to see your jokes this time, are you really sure to deal with Lin Ao?"
Although on the first night of Hai Tianlan's arrival at the academy, Yue Feifei already knew that his injuries had healed, although he had also experienced battles together and saw Hai Tianlan's skills with his own eyes was still very good, but Yue Feifei was still not at ease, because the person who fought against Hai Tianlan was Citrine Lin Ao!
There are "four roses" among the women of the house of high-ranking Taoists, and "four crystals" among the men!
Crystals are known as "psychic things" in the Marfa continent, and there are crystals on many equipment, and calling a man with a crystal is the same as describing a woman with a rose! To be named "Crystal", its strict requirements are the same as those for "Rose".
There are four crystals: Blood Crystal, Amethyst, Citrine, and Dream Crystal.
Blood Crystal, a crystal with magical powers, cannot be gazed at for long periods of time. Once it is stared at for a long time, people will have a headache, and Wenyu, who can always give the enemy a headache, is a blood crystal.
Amethyst, a crystal that symbolizes mystery, is rarely seen as an amethyst in the academy.
Citrine, a crystal that symbolizes wealth, Lin Ao, who is not lower than the Mo family in the family power, is citrine.
Dream crystal, a colorful crystal, is extremely outstanding in all aspects Cao Liang is a dream crystal.
"I've never seen him make a move, if you say you're sure of it on this basis, it's a bit too proud, I can only say do your best!"
Hai Tianlan is very conservative, and of course what he says is also the truth. From last night until he agreed to Lin Ao's discussion, he was almost annoyed to death, and the hordes of challengers blocked outside his room! He had no choice but to pick out the most influential Lin Ao from among them, so that if he won, he would save a lot of trouble, and if he avoided not fighting, he would be annoyed to death!
"I'm sorry, it's all because of me."
Yu Lan is still very smart, and when she seized the slightest opportunity, she hurriedly reminded and hinted.
"It's okay, I'm a special case, and I'm more provocative."
Hai Tianlan smiled and said a comforting sentence that is often used by people.
However, when Yu Lan heard this, she didn't know if she was evading or refusing.
"Brother Hai, didn't the dean let you keep a low profile, now that you are discussing in front of the public, he won't be angry, right?"
"That's right, in this case, it is estimated that your strength will be exposed."
"Haha...... It's good to be exposed, I really want to see what kind of strength Tianlan has! ”
Tietou, Ayaluo, and Cheng Huohuo said this, and Hai Tianlan smiled faintly.
"If I was a little worried before, I'm not worried now! If the dean really wanted me to keep a low profile, he would definitely push for this exchange, rather than acquiesce as he did now. ”
The gold coins between his fingers were still tumbling rapidly, and Hai Tianlan once again thought of Dean Ren's fox-like smile, what did that mean?
In another lounge next to the arena.
Lin Ao closed his eyes at this time and didn't know what he was thinking, although there were not many people in the lounge, they all had a good relationship with him.
"Lin Ao, what do you think of this opponent this time?" Gu Tian, who was level 30, asked.
"Either you're a fool or you're capable."
Lin Ao went through the not very many conversations with Hai Tianlan in his mind again.
"So which one do you think is more likely to be?" Zhao Li of the thirty-second level asked.
"I think the latter is more likely, she is the person who was found by the tassel mentor, although the tassel mentor has a hot temperament, but she will not look at people blindly, after all, this is to look at cultivation and technology, not people's hearts."
Being able to be elected as one of the four crystals, Lin Ao has his excellence and charm, just like these well-connected people around him, almost all of them are such high-level students between level twenty-five and thirty, and to make such good friends, Lin Ao is not relying on money.
"But hasn't the reason for Tassel's quarrel with Dean Ren already been made public? It was this person named Hai Tianlan who had injuries on his body that were difficult for healing drugs to work, which led to his lack of strength! ”
"If you have an injury, you can recover, and the reason why I want to bring up the original intention of the exchange is from the hint of the tassel mentor, and the message hidden in that hint is so intriguing! It was that hint that piqued my interest in the first place. So, I'll be cautious this time! ”
After saying this, Lin Ao stood up and walked outside.
All kinds of voices outside are getting louder and louder, Hai Tianlan has appeared, and the competition is about to begin.
