Chapter 805: The Second Half of Lanqi's Empire
Under the starry sky with dancing phosphorescence, in this critical space of the shadow world formed by countless stars, the deep red glow is the only dazzling color.
"The Eternal Punishment Decree of the Black Sun Tyrant..."
Talia looked at this sealing technique in amazement, which was different from the Undying Punishment and the Chimera Edict.
It's like the spell was born from Lanclos' lifelong attainments in the art of sealing, the ultimate sublimation and the integration of his lifelong legendary color.
"Meow, is this card powerful?"
Boss Cat has also seen the world.
It has never encountered such a lossless red card.
"Now Lanqi really has the soul of a wizard."
Thalia commented.
A noble spell with no cooldown that can be used as an additional normal attack method.
Even if he only knows this one trick, he can be like a wizard if he uses it continuously.
This sealing technique does not cause any damage, but as long as you have enough mana and can find the right opportunity to repeatedly impose periodic healing bans on enemies with super recovery abilities like vampires, you can continue to do so until the vampires are no longer able to fight.
Correspondingly, you can also lock the health of yourself or your teammates.
"I finally have a spell card."
Lanqi put away the red legend.
He thought that he would never own a noble spell card of orange epic grade in his lifetime.
Unlike magical geniuses like Loren and Ivanos, Lanci has not yet learned any magic. Of course, he has not spent much time learning it and has been devoted to developing his career.
His essential way of becoming stronger is still as a magic craftsman. The casting of spells relies on magic cards, and he has never even seen the shadow of the most noble epic spell card in his entire life.
For example, vampires are born with powers comparable to epic spells, and demons can possess epic spells by discovering their innate magic. However, in history, the great human magicians could create just one epic spell in their entire lives, which was almost the limit and could not be passed on.
Lanclos's [Immortal Punishment] and [Chimeric Edict] were probably learned from the ancient magic book. [Glowing Corona] was a passive spell obtained after the demon transformation surgery and passing the trial of the great demon clan. Only [Eternal Destruction] was an epic spell that Lanclos realized by himself.
Therefore, in Lanqi's opinion, spell cards that allow people to master epic spells instantly are the purest type of magic cards.
This is also the reason why Lanqi taught his apprentice Zestira in the Northern Continent. Spell cards are the noblest magic cards among the three types of magic cards. If there are spell cards in the Endless Library, choose spell cards.
"You really don't have much chance of having an orange epic spell card, but you do have a red legendary spell card."
Talia listened to Lanqi's mental journey and preached.
Many of Lanqi's card slots are occupied by epic cards since the low level, and his flexibility is very low. After reaching the seventh level and binding this [Black Sun Tyrant's Eternal Punishment Decree], there are not many card slots left, so he basically doesn't need to consider what epic card to bind.
"Meow meow meow?"
Boss Cat thought about it carefully, and it seemed that after Lanqi acquired this spell, he also had the life-saving spell that he had not had for a long time.
As long as it is not closed, it is open?
"Meow? Then am I still useful?"
Boss Cat realized that there seemed to be no point in giving Lanqi five more lives.
He can directly start continuous immunity.
In the shadow world, the exaggerated defensive performance of using his face to block the demonic poison light of Lord of Blasphemy Merogas no longer needs its [Dawn Storm], but it is enough to cast [Black Sun Tyrant Eternal Punishment Decree] on himself, showing the old-fashioned style of Pope Saint Polante.
"It works. After all, it's still a cute kitten."
Lanqi has given up explaining to the cat boss the correct meaning of the word "Lao Deng".
As long as the cat boss remains a cat, he will not be optimized out.
Who doesn’t like to have a little black bread at home?
"That's great, meow."
Boss Cat was relieved.
As a unique cat, I will never be optimized further.
"The Black Sun Tyrant may want a sealing technique like this more often to protect his friends."
Talia muttered as she recalled the effect of the Black Sun Tyrant's final sealing spell.
However, during his short life, he could only control eternal punishment of immortality with all his efforts, but he could not take it a step further and turn it into eternal punishment of immortality that could be released freely.
In the end, in order to complete his final mission, the Black Sun Tyrant used the unfinished immortal punishment on himself, forcing him to stay in this world even though he should have died long ago.
As the price, after his death he turned into an inextinguishable ghost, suffering the punishment of immortality for eternity.
The cost may even be greater than what Lanci experienced, and he may also lose his memory.
Maybe the next one was a year ago, maybe the next one was ten thousand years, or maybe one hundred million years.
He will wander the world alone and confused.
If no one can ever see him, then no one can ever save him.
“Fortunately, many years later, Tamisa showed up.”
Lanci said to Thalia.
"..."
Talia looked up from her trance and looked at Ranci.
"Master, there is no need for you to understand Lord Black Sun's state of mind. Even if the wounds you experienced in the Mirror of Tiberius are still painful and your thirsty throat is still not relieved, it doesn't matter anymore. Let the wind blow them away."
Lanqi said with a smile in his emerald eyes, feeling relieved and not looking back.
According to their fragmentary dreams, in the new era after the end of the blood moon, Tamisa might have long failed to recognize that the dilapidated undead in the principal's office was the phantom demon who saved her a hundred years ago.
But the blessing that Kaliela left on both of them will eventually lead them to meet.
That’s a story for another time.
"Too."
Talia nodded slightly.
She raised her hand and looked at the Tianmu Golden Bee bracelet that she and Lanqi wore as a pair. It was inlaid with the gems they had obtained from the Church of the Goddess of Destiny in Huadu.
Perhaps one day in the future, they will dream about the past again.
A dream is a dream.
Let her forget everything first.
The blood moon bad times are over.
"By the way, meow, what is the other gift?"
Boss Cat looked at another ball of light not far from Lanqi.
Its surface glowed with a mixture of sea blue and orange-yellow, like ripples in the deep sea, reminding Boss Cat of the boundless blue sea of Naikalis Island.
Faintly, there were whispers lingering in the critical space, like the song of waves under the clear sky of the devil world.
"Let me take a look."
Lanqi reached out towards the ball of light, which became dimmer and gradually dissipated, leaving only a letter in his hand.
He stared at the envelope in his hand. The azure ripples looked particularly charming under the pure starlight in the critical space.
The dark blue magic power immediately evaporated from the letter paper, swirling in the air and forming the words of the demon clan.
"——Dear Mr. Wuming"
"My friend, I am writing to you."
"The season of snow and ice has arrived. Are you all right these days?"
"You may feel even lonelier and colder, so be careful not to catch a cold."
Lanqi closed the letter when he saw this.
Didn’t read any further.
【Caliera's Handwriting】
【Category: Artwork】
[Level: Epic]
[Level: 1]
[Those who read this handwriting will have their mental magic and illusion resistance slightly increased, and will feel the company of Kaliela.]
[Note: There is no reason to fear the night, my child of light. Dawn comes slowly, but it will come eventually, and it won't be long after you touch my name.]
"The letter from Calliera..."
Talia remembered what it was.
Lanci obviously also knew what was behind the letter; they had read it together in the throne room of the Pope's Hall in Hersharem.
"Are you still sorry about this?"
Seeing that Lanqi stopped talking, Talia lowered her tone and asked.
She felt that Lanqi was not unwilling to open it, but was afraid to look at it anymore.
Perhaps after experiencing all this personally, Lanqi will be able to accept Lancross's ending as the Black Sun Tyrant with a normal mind.
But he was still haunted by Kaliera's sacrifice and couldn't even pretend to forget it.
"Yes."
Lanqi spoke his mind.
"I feel bad for Calliela, too. Her feelings melted away before they could bloom."
Talia also revealed her nostalgia.
She looked at the letter.
"Perhaps Kaliela was originally a fallen paradise. Between 'reality' and 'her company', you can only have one."
Talia shook her head regretfully.
"Yeah, she is such a perfect woman. It is normal that there are no such great demons in reality."
Lanqi sighed and said jokingly.
He agreed with Talia's words of comfort.
Realizing that things in the world are unpredictable, there will be nothing you can do about it.
Love is such a magical thing, the more you want to catch it, the more it will make you fall, and the more you know how to let it go, the more it will gradually overflow.
And Kaliela must understand the meaning of falling and overflowing better than anyone else. The letter is also to tell Lanclos that love is not what he pursues, but what he already has. Even if his best friends and partners have passed away, they will stay with him in another form until he ends this blood moon world.
"Uh-huh!"
Talia moved closer to Lanci and made a sound to attract his attention.
She puffed out her chest as if to let him look at her. "Master, what are you doing?"
Lan Qi looked at her doubtfully.
"The perfect woman."
Talia poked her cheek proudly and prompted Lanqi.
Now she is pretty and useful, which is almost the same as Calliera.
"puff."
Lanqi couldn't hold it in and broke down in an instant.
Even though he knew Talia was trying to comfort him, he really couldn't help but laugh.
"Lanqi, you said I was useful, you said I was useful!"
Talia argued with him unwillingly.
She obviously wanted to make Lanqi happy, but Lanqi became angry again.
"Master, no matter what, you did make me laugh. Thank you so much."
Lanqi couldn't stop laughing and thanked her.
This old woman is very cute sometimes.
"How dare you call me an old woman?"
Talia was shocked.
When did Lanqi become so unscrupulous!
"I'm not presumptuous."
Lanci quickly declared.
In fact, he had been calling her old woman since he was in Nanwantina County, but she didn't know it at that time, so he didn't start to be so presumptuous recently.
"You? I didn't teach you a lesson in the Shadow World, but you're so arrogant. Come here and be my mount! If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm afraid you'll want to ride on me next time."
Talia pointed at Lanqi and became angrier the more she thought about it. If she endured it for a while, she became angrier. If she took a step back, she still became angrier.
"No, Master, calm down."
Lanqi raised his hand to make a pause gesture.
If he read out Talia's weight, she would scold him again.
"You! You!"
Talia blushed.
"Master, where is your restraint, your dignity, and your maturity?"
Lanqi signaled Talia to stop messing around and started to back away.
"I'll capture you first... I've put up with you for a lifetime, and now I'm going to vent my anger on you!"
Talia pressed on, chasing after Lanky and trying to arrest him.
"Boss Cat, help!"
The two men chased the cat around, creating gusts of wind that made the cat owner helpless, fearing that he would be swept away by them.
"You two stop messing around, meow!"
Boss Cat found that every time Lanqi was in a slightly depressed mood, Tata could quickly cheer him up.
Even though the process may have been a little counterproductive, they may have become a source of joy to each other.
Until a few seconds later.
Talia finally got what she wanted and pushed Lanqi to the ground. She sat on his stomach contentedly and looked down at him.
"Hmph, you've captured me six times. I can now add a horizontal line to your body."
Talia jokingly reported the battle results to Lanqi.
"Master, are you a female ghost?!"
Lanci asked in shock.
After Talia played Lanfu in the movie world, even her speech became a bit like Lanfu. It was because she had played the role too many times and became mentally ill, and she hasn't yet come out of the role.
"I warn you, if you dare to read the number about my weight in your mind, I will really write on your face and leave you with a humiliating memory."
Talia leaned forward slightly, stared down into Lanqi's eyes, and spoke gently.
"..."
Lanqi remained silent and shook his head.
He found it torture to hold back on reporting the number.
Just like that, Talia let go of Lanqi and stood up.
Lanqi took the letter from Kaliela, sat on the ground and read it again.
"Is there any mystery in this letter?"
Talia also felt the magic of Kaliela on the letter just now.
"It's probably the same as the last material [Kaliera's Shadow Weaving Record], with some of Kaliera's memories."
Lanqi lowered his eyes and whispered.
If it is triggered by Talia's spell [Overflowing Tenderness] which has the same magic as Kaliera, it might be able to trigger an illusion with Kaliera's memories.
"I'll try."
Upon hearing this, Talia immediately squatted down to touch the letter.
"Tata, don't use it now. Kaliela's magic is full of unknowns."
Ranchi preached to Thalia.
The two of them had to return to the present-day Kremer Empire as soon as possible.
Now if you look at the film left in the handwritten book of Calliera here.
I might fall asleep in this critical space for a long time.
Just like the last time they used the Kaliela Shadowweaving recording card in the Flower City Pariel.
Both of them fell into a dream because of Kaliela's ninth-level magic power and could not wake up for a long time.
"..."
Talia hesitated for a moment. Although she was curious about what Kaliela's memories were, now was not the time to experience dreams.
And she also wanted to watch it seriously and without distraction.
"Once the affairs of the Cremon Empire are over, let's go back to the Flower City of Pariah, or to the Cat Boss Restaurant in Ikerite, and watch it together."
Lanqi suggested or invited her.
"Then we'll watch it together when we get back. Okay."
Talia thought about it, hesitated for a while, and then stretched out her little finger to Lanqi like Tamisa did.
It feels a bit like watching a private movie.
It's not bad to watch with Lanqi.
As a weekend pastime, it is a good project.
"no problem."
Lanqi made a pinky promise with her.
"Come on, go home."
Lanqi released Talia's fingertips and said to her.
"We still have to cure Miss Ifatia."
He raised his hands and stretched hard, as if he had just woken up and was ready to face a new day, and walked towards the Void Gate.
He was ready to battle wits and courage with the Sixth Army Goddess, Violet of Aquamarine, at the Abbey of Saint Cremorne.
Only in this way can they obtain Violet's wolf witch blood, release the Blood King's sacred fire in Ifatia, and give them an additional quasi-bishop-level demon force in the siege of Blood Moon City.
In addition, as Violet is the high priestess of the Moon Temple of the Empire, she has access to the palace for many matters related to the royal family. Perhaps we can learn something from Violet about the current situation of the third princess Alexia.
"Thank you……"
Talia was overwhelmed with gratitude for Ranch helping her realize many of her wishes.
Although she couldn't rush and it wouldn't necessarily help, she was eager to cure her sister and bring her home to live.
The sisters no longer have to use communication magic to chat every day, and she can also take care of her younger sister and cook for her personally.
There were many empty rooms in Lanqi's large mansion at St. Cremorne's Monastery, so it was no problem to give Ifatia a guest room on the first floor.
"It's the little things. Your safety and health are more important than anything else."
Lanqi didn't have much objection to letting Ifatia live with him.
His house is now like the Cranberry Empire branch of Cat Boss Restaurant, which can essentially be used as an apartment dormitory. The two most suitable places to be based in the future are Abigail's second floor of the Brillda Opera House and Professor Landry's St. Cranberry Abbey mansion.
But Lanqi still tried hard to get Ifatia to change her words, otherwise it would be a bit unbearable to have her call him brother every day when they met.
After a brief chat in the critical space, a man, a demon and a cat came to the gate of the void to return to the real world.
"Lan Qi, thank you."
Talia looked up this time and thanked him seriously, expressing her feelings sincerely.
If she could live with her sister every day, Brillda's life would be no worse than Ikerita's.
After coming to the Kremer Empire, she occasionally felt a little thrilling, but most of the time she was just living her life. With Lanqi working outside, she lived a comfortable life.
"We are friends now, there's no need to be polite."
Lanci grinned at Talia.
"It's time to start the second half of the Kremer Empire."
They walked forward, chatting and laughing, and bid farewell to this long journey of ten thousand years ago.
No matter what.
Life at St. Clement's Abbey in Brildal begins again!
