LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 817 Lanqi's Sealing Master Resurrection Tournament
Chapter 817 Lanqi's Sealing Master Resurrection Tournament
The winter nights come early in Cremorne.
The sunset came for a brief visit and then left quietly after a short while.
The sky was stained with a thin layer of ink, and star sand and the silver moon hung in the night sky.
After spending an afternoon chatting with friends on the second floor of the Brillda Opera House, Lanci took Talia and Sigrid back to the Monastery of St. Chryse.
Of course, there are also my sisters who came along.
"Wow, wow..."
No matter what Ifatia saw outside the car window, she looked excited and happy.
The main area of St. Clement's Abbey is traversed by verdant avenues, with clear streams flowing through it, and marble towers and flying buttresses can be seen everywhere.
It had been a long time since she had left the underground palace of the Brillda Mafia Port Area, and she had never experienced such a free and normal life.
The vehicle stopped in front of a chic mansion.
Ifatia did not hesitate, she opened the car door and ran out, looking around at her new residence.
What comes into view is a classical two-story building. Its milky white walls glow softly under the street lights, and its azure tile roof and slightly dark brown window frames make it look like it has decades of architectural history.
The residence assigned to Landry by St. Clement's Monastery was actually a two-story villa.
Although it was not as luxurious as the Duke's Mansion in Hutton, it was still a happy place to live in for more than a month.
Ifathia is now looking forward to the whole family reuniting and returning to Ikerit with relatives and friends. It is said that Antanas, Synora, Planai, Artemis and others are all in Ikerit. They love each other so much that all the demons in the family are gathered together!
"Is there anything you want to buy?"
Sigrid asked Lanci after she got out of the car.
Now that there are more people in the family, the food might not be enough.
"No, I always order a lot of ingredients, you two can eat as much as you want."
Lanqi thought about it and estimated that he, Sigrid Ifatia and the cat boss would have little influence.
It will be the same even if there are a few more.
One hundred plus one only becomes one hundred and one, which is essentially very different from one hundred.
"What do you mean."
Talia has her eyes on Ranch.
"I told them to be polite."
Lanci said as he quickened his pace and walked towards the mansion.
"Really? Why are you doing math in your head?"
Talia asked as she followed him.
Lanci's words were polite, but his thoughts were damning.
"It's true."
They walked along the courtyard path and arrived at the door of the mansion.
Lanqi pushed open the heavy door of the mansion and stepped into the villa that belonged to him in the Kremer Empire.
"Shall I stay in the guest room on the first floor later?"
Ifatia ran through the hallway and came to the living room impatiently.
She had long been curious about what her sister's house was like.
On the coffee table next to the off-white sofa were placed Phalaenopsis orchids that had just been replaced in the afternoon. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was a carefully tended garden. The path they had walked along earlier was still lit with warm yellow floor lamps.
"Yes, I will help you clean up the room, and you can move in directly later. As for pajamas, you will probably have to use my size for the time being. It may be a little bigger than yours. I will buy you some tomorrow."
Talia took Ifatia on a brief tour of the guest rooms on the first floor corridor side and gave a sermon.
The king-size bed in the bedroom was covered with soft bedding, bathrobes were neatly hung in the closet, and there was a bathtub by the window. When Ifatia turned on the faucet, hot water gushed out.
"Good good!"
Ifatia nodded repeatedly and followed her sister out again.
Since she was a child, this non-blood-related sister took care of her like her mother, allowing her to completely give up the idea of revenge and begin to perfectly integrate into the Demon King's Palace and become a useless princess.
It’s so nice to have a sister.
"Boss Cat, I may have to trouble you with dinner tonight. I'm afraid that Lanqi's engraving level will blow him up."
Talia looked down at the shadow at Lanky's feet in the living room.
Although she didn't know why Lanqi suddenly told her that the materials had been obtained, she had no problem helping Lanqi engrave it.
"Oh yeah, Tata has to help me engrave my rank."
Lanqi said "oh".
Generally speaking, in addition to engraving materials with link or mechanical properties, the assistance of magic craftsmen is also required.
He could do it himself, but it would definitely be easier to succeed with the help of a master like Tata.
"Meow?"
The black cat's head popped out from the shadows.
It immediately floated into the air.
It seemed that this family was unexpectedly harmonious, and nothing it worried about happened.
Even though Talia and Sigrid might occasionally get jealous of each other and want to fight for Ranci, for the sake of the innocent little sister Ifatia, they would not cause disharmony in the family.
"No problem, meow."
Boss Cat agreed.
I thought it was about to be optimized, but I didn't expect that its usefulness seemed to become important again.
"Hey, little kitty, you're level six?"
Ifatia hugged the small black bread floating in the air and said in surprise.
Today the cat boss was particularly fond of hiding in the shadows, and Ifatia had not seen it before on the second floor of the Brillda Opera House.
The last time I saw it, it was still at level 5.
I didn’t expect to be promoted to the next level so quickly!
"..."
Lanci and Talia were silent for a while, not knowing how to explain that this was a ninth-level divine beast.
"Destroy it, quickly."
Boss Cat didn't want to make any excuses.
The cat boss was too lazy to even say the word "meow".
"This home is full of daily tasks, and everyone is doing tasks."
Sigrid, who had come and sat down on the sofa early, rested her chin on her hand, observing the family and talking to herself.
She just had to wait for dinner to be served. There didn't seem to be anything she needed to do at home. She lived with Tata in the same room, which had already been cleaned by Tata. It was obvious that Tata was someone who was very good at taking care of the room.
"Then I'll go to the study upstairs to help Lanqi engrave his rank. If everything goes well, it will be finished in half an hour to an hour. I'll leave dinner to you, Boss Cat."
Talia is Lanqi's best assistant, and they have been working together to make cards from the beginning.
"To be honest, I'm really curious about your cooking skills, Tata."
Sigrid was supposed to have tasted it at noon today, but due to some unexpected events, she became the chef of Boss Cat.
She could only lean on the sofa and complain.
"plus one."
Ifatia also raised her hand high.
She had never seen her sister cook in the demon world.
Hearing that her sister can cook now, Ifatia dreams of seeing her sister's cooking skills.
"I'll cook for you tomorrow."
Talia said helplessly.
The house is really lively now.
At the beginning, it was clearly only Lanqi, her and the cat boss.
Abigail and Toliado are both locals, and they may also come as guests to discuss some important matters.
It almost feels like a party.
Besides, even if there were a few empty rooms, there probably wouldn't be any more guests.
"Waiting for you."
"Let's have dinner together!"
Sigrid and Ifathia waved to them.
Lankitalia simply nodded in greeting and climbed the stairs.
They came to the second floor.
Compared to the first floor, the second floor has a smaller entrance living room, and this floor is more life-like.
Of course their main destination is the study.
Opening the door of the study, there are bookshelves on all four sides. After being reinforced and arranged by Talia, it has already served as a magic workshop.
Lanqi usually uses communication magic or makes cards in this study.
The bright winter moon shines into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside the window, fallen leaves are faintly visible in the night.
Lanqi turned on the light and saw that the walls of the originally tidy workshop were now covered with drawings pinned to the wall.
"Lanqi, where are your materials?"
Talia has always been wondering where in the void Lanqi got the engraving materials from.
It was obvious that she and Lanqi had basically never been apart along the way.
of course.
Or maybe Lanqi wanted to use this as an excuse to be alone with her in the study for a while?
Anyway, there is no result engraved, so just go downstairs and say that you failed.
I can use this excuse again and again to be alone with her in a room.
No matter how Talia thought about it, she felt that the latter was more likely.
It's obvious.
She could totally guess the disciple's little thoughts.
as predicted.
Lanci came closer.
Talia took a step back pretending to be reserved, hugged her elbow with one hand, sat on the desk, and turned her head away from him.
But her heart beat slightly faster, and she didn't know what Lanqi wanted to say or do to her.
"look."
Lanqi raised his hand slightly, and a holy seal appeared in his palm.
"Uh."
Talia's vision was flashed by the orange light. She slowly turned her head and saw that there was indeed an emblem in Lanqi's hand.
The Holy Seal is a dazzling sun, emitting blazing light. Golden flames extend outward to form a corona. At the end of each ray of light is inlaid a dazzling gem, which flashes different colors under the sunlight, just like the various emotions and powers that love arouses in people's hearts.
These arcs of light interweave with each other, both finite and infinite.
[Certificate of the Bishop-Crazy Love]
[Category: Equipment Card]
[Level: Orange Epic]
[Attribute: Link/Seal]
[Level: 0]
[Effect: The identity certificate of the Mad Love Bishop can also be used by the Overlord Catholic Church. It can produce the resurrection certificates of various levels of the mad love branch, produce special attack and deterrence attributes for the holders of low-level resurrection certificates, locate the approximate location of priests of the same branch, and identify the authenticity of the resurrection certificates displayed by other branches. You can open the Bishop's Council Hall, the Death Arena, and the Bishop's Voting Ceremony. 】
【Note: Owner: Lanqi Wilford. 】
"The bishop's certificate... mad love?"
Talia looked at it in confusion.
"And isn't Crazy Love my name when I transform into a demon king?"
The momentary amazement outweighed the embarrassment caused by her wild imagination.
"You borrowed my six seals and merged into the Demon King. Logically, I have the majority, so Crazy Love should actually be my title."
Lanci explained.
"It really is."
Talia responded.
If Lanqi is really a demon, and the real name of the great demon is revealed, it should be Crazy Love Lord, so there is no problem with the bishop's certificate name being Crazy Love Bishop.
"But, after I merged with Lanfu and became the Demon King, the title became yours. I always feel weird..."
Talia muttered as she recalled.
It was kind of like Ranci had written his name on her.
"What the hell are you thinking about, Master?"
Lanqi no longer needs to love poets, and can occasionally understand Talia's eccentric thinking.
"By the way, where did you get this holy seal?"
Talia looked back and forth between Lanci's face and the glowing corona.
Lanci became a cardinal? ?
Talia still felt it was a little unreal, but because it was so outrageous in every way, she gradually began to accept it.
"This is the last strength Lao Sang gave me."
Lan Qi clenched his fist slightly, looked down at his hand, and said happily.
"I'm going to your laosang now. He passed on everything to you, right?"
Ever since Talia found out who Laosang was, she no longer wanted to believe Lanqi's touching words.
This kid just took Lao Sang's magic cards and the original stone seal.
Now even the bishop’s certificate has been snatched away.
Together, Lao Sang is your big gift bag.
"Well, it's time to get down to business, Master."
Lanqi's voice became more serious as he spoke to Talia.
Under the light of the workshop, Lanqi could clearly see the light flowing inside the Seal of the Glowing Corona, and the miraculous ancient magic was flickering.
This is the divine product of the Resurrection Church.
"Ah."
Talia and Lanci walked slowly to the workbench, which was already covered with the material proportions that Talia had previously made for him, as well as auxiliary materials that had been prepared in advance.
The Bishop's Certificate is naturally highly compatible, so it can be used to replace almost any kind of engraving material.
There was no need to change what Talia had prepared for him.
"let's start."
Taliyah stopped paying attention to the seal and returned her attention to the workbench.
All the equipment in the study workshop had been replaced with the highest-standard models purchased from the Magic Craftsmen Association of the Krein Empire. After clearing a spacious space on the workbench, Taliyah took out three trays filled with link attribute materials from the three-layer cart at hand, and checked the ratios that had been prepared earlier.
Taliyah placed them next to the workbench, and with Lanqi's assistance, Taliyah finished processing the materials with calm eyes and skillful techniques.
The clock in the study was ticking.
Several minutes had passed before I knew it.
"Lanqi, are you ready?"
Talia put down the last piece of material that was processed and ready to be used, and asked Lanqi who was waiting on the side.
The process that will follow may be similar to using Lanqi as a carrier to complete the production of a seventh-level magic device. He may suffer pain, pressure, or danger.
But Talia believed that with Ranchi's state of mind and her own skills, she could definitely help Ranchi pass it in one go.
"Ah."
Lanci replied,
"Wait, Master, can you be a little more calm? I feel like I'll be more focused that way."
He asked as if he remembered something.
"Isn't that cruel enough?"
Thalia asked Lan Qi with a trace of distracting thoughts in her golden eyes.
"It's just to restore the feeling at the beginning, like I owe you money, making me feel like there's a strict teacher watching me closely. You're completely different now..."
"Is this how it feels?"
Talia's eyes gradually turned cold, as if she felt that Lanqi was ungrateful.
That familiar cold gaze instantly made Lanqi feel pressured.
“It tastes good.”
Lanqi gave a thumbs up and praised.
"Fool."
Talia tapped Lanci's head lightly, catching Lanci off guard, and Talia's aura returned to what it was at home.
"what happened?"
Lanqi held his head in confusion and asked Talia.
"You just need to relax. You don't have to be as nervous as when you were making the card. Just leave your body to me and I will guide you."
Talia spoke softly. She no longer had the coldness she had at the beginning in the territory of Nanwantina. She had long become the gray-haired girl who had shared weal and woe with Lanqi.
"Is that so?"
Lanqi asked her in shock.
"Yes, a good attitude has always been your strength, so keep it up."
Talia admitted graciously.
Lan Qi nodded.
Talia didn't pause for long. She used the magic ink made from the mixture of the sealing magic crystal powder and the link-specific magic core liquid that she had just ground to make her fingertips touch Lanqi's forehead, spine, and temple.
The moment she touched the blended magic ink, the magic in Lanci's body began to resonate and synchronize with the ink. The ink that Talia mixed seemed to actively cater to Lanci's magic.
Lanqi didn't need to check or measure to be sure that Talia had found the perfect proportions for him.
He closed his eyes, feeling the flow of his magic, and Talia's magic began to penetrate into his magic veins along the resonance, rewriting his expanded structure to withstand greater power.
As Lanqi's closed eyes gradually began to glow with the light of Talia's magic, the engraving process entered the most important step, which was to transform and enchant the core material, using it as the cornerstone to give the body's magic circuit an extended connection.
The whole process requires the engraver to concentrate fully and the engraved person to relax and achieve a high degree of synchronization.
As Talia continued to carve the spell runes constructed by the magic power of the two of them into each budgeted line, the translated and rewritten mixed human and demonic magic texts squirmed densely and intricately in Lanqi's body like a worm's nest.
The two of them were concentrating on burning the image, and no matter how loud the noise in the outside world was, it had nothing to do with the space in this study.
Gradually, the concept of time disappeared.
The second hand of the study clock has gone round and round.
Until the night deepened in Brillda, it was dark outside the curtains on the second floor of the mansion, and only the light in the room was soft and warm.
Lanqi sat in front of the workbench, with transparent magic arcs with a strong sense of danger spreading outward from his body. He couldn't even stabilize his own magic fluctuations and they kept distorting under the high pressure.
At this moment, he was like a magic card that was about to explode.
But Lanqi was not afraid and believed in Talia. Even if Talia wanted to kill him, he would still let Talia do it wholeheartedly without any resistance.
"Lanqi, don't be afraid, it will be fine soon."
Talia stood in front of Ranchi, staring at him intently, and linked the magic seals engraved around [Certificate of the Bishop - Crazy Love] in Ranchi's body one by one, forming a complete magic power circulation route, allowing Ranchi to continue to operate himself after his mana was restored.
Lanqi must have been in severe pain for a long time.
"I believe in you, Master."
However, Lanqi closed his eyes and his expression remained calm, as if he had thought it over carefully.
Compared to the previous experience in the Mirror of Tiberius, this was nothing.
"Hehe, it seems that you are really willing to hand over your life to me. Not bad, you are a good disciple."
Upon hearing this, Talia said nothing more and cooperated wholeheartedly.
Maybe it was because they were both too focused.
The drastic changes in Lanqifa's power no longer caught their attention, and they did not waver at all until the final moment when the circuit was finalized.
His magical power began to increase exponentially.
In the violent sea, it gradually stabilized and calmed down...
"call."
Talia took her hand off Rankey's head and breathed a sigh of relief.
No one understood the magical properties of Ranchi better than her.
They were partners who had collaborated to create the eighth-tier epic magic card [Overflowing Tenderness], so it was a perfect match for her to help Lanqi engrave his class.
"Level 7 is indeed completely different."
Ranchi sensed his own strength and estimated that even Talia would have to work hard to kill him.
He was already known for his mental and physical strength, and after reaching the seventh level, he completely became a magic tank, with extremely high spell resistance and life.
But when he reached the seventh level, the most important thing was that he could use his magic card.
Lanqi raised his hand as usual, and a ball of red light appeared.
This magic card gradually revived in his hand.
The card surface is completely black, so dark that it swallows up all the light. It looks like it is condensed from the darkness in an endless abyss, and yet it looks like a living thing.
[The Eternal Punishment Decree of the Black Sun Tyrant]
[Category: Spell Card]
[Grade: Red Legend]
[Attribute: Seal]
[Level: 7]
[Effect: After activation, it will continue to consume mana and lock the life status of a single target. ]
[Note: Roll the dice and choose the number of steps to move forward. If you take a wrong step, you will fall into the abyss. Even if this road is endless, you can only adapt to regret until everything turns into memories. ]
Lanqi completed the soul binding in an instant, and the card became one with him the moment it touched his soul.
The clear card surface turned into a door leading to an unknown area. Dense alchemical lines were winding and circling on the red light. Perhaps in the next moment, it would explode and fly away from the red light and turn into a terrifying monster.
The red light completely disintegrated and dissipated like glass.
The magic card also calmed down and turned into a translucent card engraved with the black scorching sun.
"Try the effect?"
Talia watched from the sidelines as this most miraculous red legend unfolded.
Although she was very afraid of letting Lanqi use [Immortal Eternal Punishment] in the shadow world, this extreme sublimation of [Black Sun Tyrant Eternal Punishment Decree] no longer had any negative effects.
"I'm particularly familiar with this spell."
Lanqi smiled comfortably.
He finally learned some real magic.
Then he used the Eternal Punishment Decree of the Black Sun Tyrant.
In an instant, the study room in front of him began to be filled with monstrous black fog and magical power.
The originally stable magical power of the barrier on the wall bookshelf began to fluctuate, as if it was being pulled.
The lights suddenly became dimmer.
Lanci and Talia only saw the enormous magic power gathering in the air, emitting fluctuations similar to the black sun, but more terrifying, more like the supreme power of the demon world.
The magic power of the black mist gathered and weaved, and even the air began to tremble, until it finally enveloped Lanci, forming a black poisonous snake around him, and finally the lingering black mist suddenly shrank and rushed into his face.
During the whole process, he was protected by an invisible force and no one could get close to him.
When the spell engraved in the black mist fell on Lanqi's right cheek, the surrounding magical fluctuations gradually subsided, the light dissipated, and everything returned to normal.
"..."
Lanqi looked at the reflection on the table silently.
It felt pretty much as he imagined.
It is eternal punishment without death, but it can be lifted at any time and inflicted again.
"Lanqi, your face..."
Talia reached out and touched Lanky's face.
She had long wanted to try to see if she could erase the black mark, but she had no entity in the Mirror of Tiberius and could not do anything to Lanci.
The result of actual verification is that this magic imprint cannot be shaken at all.
"No, are you a mother? You see your child's face is dirty and you want to wipe it off."
Lanqi dodged speechlessly.
He really didn't expect that Talia would actually want to wipe his face.
"Well, I just feel that this tattoo-like mark doesn't suit you very well. It's better for you to be clean, but..."
Talia stopped talking mid-sentence as she observed Ranch.
The violent spell that was crawling and engraved on Lanqi's cheek like a centipede, coupled with Lanqi's always indifferent and calm state, at this moment, it seemed as if the invincible Pope in the Realm of Tiberius had returned.
"Tata, try hitting me."
Lanci said to Talia.
He had wanted to do this experiment for a long time.
Talia hesitated for a moment, clenched her fist, controlled the strength, and gently hit Lanqi on the cheek.
There was no reaction, like hitting cotton.
Then she started to use force and hit Lanci several times.
A few bang sounds were heard.
There was no harm at all, it was like an immunity field was turned on.
"My God, I now suspect that you are at the ninth level."
Talia stared at her fist in amazement.
She had never felt that Lord of Blasphemy Melogas was so tough when she fought him.
At least she could give Merogas a scraping treatment when she was in the Crazy Love Demon King state, but there was really no response when she attacked Ranchi who was in the Eternal Punishment Decree state of the Black Sun Tyrant.
Talia felt the despair that Lord Blasphemy Merogas felt that day in the Shadow World when he saw the Pope use his face to take her ultimate move.
The main reason is Lanqi's unshakable aura as the Pope.
It is the genuine Pope Saint Polante!
"But this spell burns mana very quickly."
Lanqi got a satisfactory answer and nodded.
He wasn't sure whether Talia was testing him seriously or taking the opportunity to vent her previous grievances, as she was hitting him harder and harder and seemed very satisfied after doing it.
According to his understanding of eternal punishment of immortality, the lower the target's life state is, the lower the mana consumption will be, and the stronger the target's life state is, the higher the mana consumption will be.
As for fixing himself at the seventh level, he could already feel the obvious burning of mana.
"Or you should use me more."
Talia suggested.
After all, the Crazy Love Demon King is a genuine eighth-level summoned creature. If we really have to fight, the Crazy Love Demon King is more capable of fighting.
Moreover, she didn't want Lanqi's magic power to be burned up by the Black Sun Tyrant's Eternal Punishment Decree, as she still needed to consume Lanqi's magic power.
"No, no, no, Master, you are the heavy-duty, high-powered magic card, you shouldn't underestimate yourself."
Lanqi preached to her sincerely.
"I'm not heavy at all!"
Talia immediately became excited.
"This seventh-tier spell card is at most as powerful as a household magic device, but when you use it, it's at military grade."
Lanqi used an analogy, hoping that Talia would feel the difference intuitively.
"Shut up, little thing, and explode the gold coins!"
Talia pinched Ranchi's neck and shook him. Anyway, Ranchi couldn't die now, so she could do whatever she wanted!
She is married to Lanqi and can inherit Lanqi's property according to the law.
"Haha, stop it, it's itchy."
Lanqi felt no pain or injury now, he just felt that Talia was tickling him.
They quarrelled as usual.
After a long time, Talia was tired and finally let him go.
"It is indeed very solid, a waste of effort."
Talia shook her head and sighed.
She didn't want to compete with this big brother with zero attack and full resistance anymore. Unless he ran out of mana, there was no way to defeat him.
Even if she ignored the barrier in the study and used all her strength, Talia could not break Lanqi's defense.
Lanci still has no offensive power, but his defense is already at the level of Lanclos.
If she thought about it carefully, Lanqi seemed to have become her big brother at the end of the game. She didn't have to worry about this guy dying. She could just disgust her opponents by standing on the court.
"You use this magic on yourself most of the time?"
Talia asked Ranci.
In her opinion, there is no need for Ranchi to use this spell to seal others, and it is most effective to save Ranchi's own life.
"of course."
Lanqi nodded.
"Hehe, look at me transforming into a white robe and a silver mask. I'm going to Blood Moon City to tell Lachar that I'm not dead and I won the resurrection match."
Lanqi looked at the workbench and planned.
