Chapter 1903

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward, and the black-mist figure cleared its throat.

"It is fate that you could come here twice, but... did you hear any strange sounds just now?"

The black-mist figure stared fixedly at Su Xiao.

"Another traveler has come. Let's stick to the old rules: fool them and send them away."

Su Xiao certainly heard what the black-mist figure said just now, and he discovered a crucial point: the other party seemed to be wary of something. This, of course, was not wariness of him, but very likely wariness of the Reincarnation Paradise.

"..."

The black-mist figure fell into silence, and the atmosphere became even more awkward.

After this awkward atmosphere lasted for a minute, the black-mist figure finally spoke.

"A Law-Breaker from the Reincarnation Paradise—those spellcasters from the Arcane Eternal Star, didn't they give you any trouble?"

The tone of the black-mist figure did not sound like some powerful existence at all; in fact, Su Xiao felt that the other party seemed quite bored.

"Of course... they did."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Mage Sage Sephilia."

Su Xiao only said the name and did not reveal any other information.

"Mage Sage... Sephilia? Which one is that? Let me think."

The black-mist figure seemed to have become interested as well; unexpectedly, it did not mention the second transaction and began to chat with Su Xiao.

"Sephilia... it seems... I have a bit of an impression. Right, isn't that my student!"

The black-mist figure slapped its thigh and looked at Su Xiao with great surprise.

"That little brat already has a title? I remember it was because of a problem with the magic circuit... or something like that. I beat her until she was crying, and after that, she ran away from Luseran. I didn't expect her to actually join the Arcane Eternal Star. It's truly surprising."

The black-mist figure felt a bit nostalgic, but a more important issue was that although Mage Sage Sephilia's appearance was young, that woman's age was definitely over 500 years old. By this calculation, this black-mist figure was definitely even older.

"There is nothing to be surprised about. I am a spellcaster from the Law-Breaker era, and I fought with your predecessors for many years. I don't know if you've heard of a guy named Marwen Waltz. Thanks to him, I have been trapped in the Starry Sky Seat forever. Now that I think about it, that guy was truly a good opponent. Unfortunately, our positions were hostile. He died, and I was 'imprisoned' here. It's fair. Rest assured, I won't take my anger out on you just because you are a Law-Breaker. The conflict between spellcasters and Law-Breakers is just like..."

The black-mist figure's voice grew lower and lower, and when he finished speaking, he just let out a low laugh.

"The first-generation Law-Breaker was a person worthy of respect. What's more interesting is that if it weren't for you Law-Breakers, we spellcasters would have perished long ago. Breaking the elemental balance requires a price. Perhaps in another few thousand years, the next batch of people hunting spellcasters will appear. They might call themselves Guardians, or they might still call themselves Law-Breakers. However, such a feat as pioneering an era can only be achieved by the first-generation Law-Breaker; only he alone could do it."

The black-mist figure stood up while speaking, seemingly hesitating about something.

"Law-Breaker, meeting twice in one day is fate. You should also attend the next Starry Sky Banquet. Except for the Sword Demon, the other members should all be there. There are probably... six left. The others either died of old age or died in accidents. See you next time. Prepare some good things next time; the other members will also bring out some good things to exchange with you."

The black-mist figure waved a hand, and Su Xiao once again felt that familiar pulling sensation. It was still the same process as before; Su Xiao activated the temporary ability 'Transmission' and returned to the Reincarnation Paradise.

Inside the empty Starry Sky Seat, the black-mist figure constructed a formation diagram in mid-air.

"What is it?"

A man's voice came from the formation diagram.

"I met your disciple, Marwen. You better roll back here right now. I've been sitting here for over a dozen years; it's your turn."

"Oh? He entered the Starry Sky Seat? How did he get in?"

The man's voice inside the formation diagram was somewhat lazy, and the sound of flowing water could be vaguely heard.

"That's not important. You get your ass to the Starry Sky Seat right now; it's my turn to go out."

"Huh? What did you say? The signal is bad; I didn't hear you clearly."

Marwen Waltz's unscrupulous laughter came through.

"..."

The black smoke on the black-mist figure's body twisted for a moment. How the hell could there be a signal in a formation diagram?

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll drag you out right now."

"Drag? Did you get a physical body to store in?"

The black-mist figure was very surprised.

"Of course. It's impossible for me to be resurrected, but storing my consciousness in a physical entity is still doable."

Marwen Waltz laughed even more unscrupulously.

"Then do it as soon as possible."

"I'm a person who holds grudges. You pierced my head back then. You say..."

"..."

The black-mist figure's cheek twitched, and he took a deep breath.

"Marwen, we have so many years of friendship; the things from when we were alive are no longer important."

"Oh? Say 'I was wrong' and let me hear it."

"..."

The black-mist figure was silent.

"Just kidding with you, old friend. I've been preparing the formation diagram to drag you out for several years. I've played the black-hearted 'old grandfather' countless times. It's ready."

"You really are something, Marwen."

The black-mist figure let out a long sigh of relief. He had been imprisoned here for too long, so long that the grudges from when he was alive were no longer important.

"By the way, that disciple of yours."

"Let him join the Starry Sky Seat. I seem to have forgotten something. I remember now; I forgot to help him awaken the Slaughter Shadow."

Marwen Waltz had a 'sudden realization.' He was living too comfortably in a certain world, and since his memory wasn't great to begin with, it wasn't surprising that he had forgotten something.

"That kind of shameless ability is better left unmastered."

The black-mist figure had clearly suffered from the 'Slaughter Shadow' before. Mentioning this ability made his teeth itch with hatred; his only evaluation of it was that it was shameless.

"Don't talk nonsense, grab my hand."

With a crack, an arm flashing with blue light pierced through the formation diagram, and the black-mist figure immediately grabbed Marwen Waltz's arm.

Boom—

The entire Starry Sky Seat began to vibrate, and the black-mist figure was dragged into the formation diagram. With two unscrupulous old guys gathered together, heaven knows what would happen.

Inside the exclusive room, Su Xiao sat on the carpet, looking at a string of small blue characters on his palm; these characters were entirely composed of energy.

'Join the Starry Sky Seat and blackmail them with Black Maple Tree products. There will be absolutely no problem. Someone will protect you. — Marwen Waltz.'

Clearly, this was the information passed on by Marwen Waltz, but Su Xiao had many doubts. Why did Marwen Waltz know that he had entered the Starry Sky Seat? Was the previous mention of Marwen Waltz by the black-mist figure really just a casual remark?

Based on various past events, Su Xiao felt that Marwen Waltz had no need to lie to him. Moreover, he had a chance to participate in the Starry Sky Banquet; observing it would also be a good choice.

If Marwen Waltz's words were true, then Su Xiao would be rich. Once he could exchange for resources through the Black Maple Tree, his strength would improve rapidly.

However, the problem at hand was that heaven knows when the Starry Sky Banquet would be held.

There were many questions, but fortunately, Su Xiao was not without gains. He took out a notebook from his bosom; this was left behind by a previous-generation Law-Breaker and should have considerable value.

After flipping through it, Su Xiao frowned. What was recorded here was the development of various abilities, such as the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying, the prototype of the Spirit Shadow constitution, etc.

Judging from the records in the notebook, the efficiency of the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying was quite low at the beginning. Until the end of the notebook's records, the Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying did not undergo a qualitative change. The Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying ability that Su Xiao mastered was the complete version obtained only after the painstaking development and perfection of countless generations of Law-Breakers.

The first two-thirds of this notebook had no value; it felt to Su Xiao like reading a history textbook. Fortunately, the content in the latter half changed; it recorded hundreds of types of biological energy suitable for the 'Devouring Core' to devour, as well as the origins, appearances, etc., of those creatures.
