Chapter 1070: Contact

Petrification failed to stop the knowledge from approaching, and the petrification also became a part of the knowledge. They were like soldier puppets, rushing toward Lu Mian in a mighty force.

At this moment, Lu Mian inexplicably had a thought:

If he were in Morora, could he use the authority of "0-01" to make all these knowledge stone statues his soldiers, and then turn the guns around to counterattack Sidis, the high-level member of the "Rose Redemption Order" holding the Grade "0" Sealed Artifact?

Unfortunately, there were no "ifs."

The knowledge stone statues crashed into Lu Mian, making a *crack* sound of shattering.

Lu Mian had used "Mirror Substitute" in advance.

The next second, he continued with "Teleportation," outlining his figure in mid-air, behind Sidis, and diagonally above the tower.

Of course he feared Grade "0" Sealed Artifacts, but currently, it was a person using a Grade "0" Sealed Artifact, not a Grade "0" Sealed Artifact driving a person, so there were naturally places that could be utilized and targeted.

For example, the large number of bumps on the surface of the silver water bottle in Sidis's hand and the black-and-white eyeballs inside the bumps were blocked by Sidis's body, so he could not see the target behind him.

Lu Mian's eyes, like highland lakes, quickly reflected Sidis's back, preparing to cast a curse.

Just then, behind the head of Sidis, who was dressed as a wizard but not wearing a hood, flesh and blood suddenly wriggled, and one after another, black-and-white, indifferent, and ruthless eyeballs grew out from between the gray-black hair.

This saint seemed to have become a part of that silver water bottle, a carrier for the extension of its power.

*Crack! Crack! Crack! * Behind Sidis, his hair parted and his clothes tore, instantly covered with black-and-white eyeballs, all of which looked at Lu Mian at the same time.

Lu Mian was suddenly stunned.

Sequence names and related partial knowledge such as "Reader," "Fighter Scholar," "Wizard," "Scroll Professor," "Astrologer," "Mystic," "Prophet Master," "Sage," "Knowledge Emperor," "Hermit," "Generalist," "Archaeologist," "Black Knight," "The Hanged Man," "White Angel," and "Sun" were stuffed into his mind at the same time.

Although this was far from enough to blow up Lu Mian's head and spirit body, it made his thinking chaotic and slow for a while.

That knowledge even vaguely gathered into a scene, the protagonist of which was a gray, mottled, and vicissitudinous stone slab.

Lu Mian's consciousness then became chaotic.

Almost at the same time, inside the silver water bottle covered with bumps and eyeballs that Sidis was holding, streams of scorching, golden, pure sunlight gushed out.

They illuminated the area like a palace terrace, supporting a miniature, burning sun that rose slowly.

That "sun" grew rapidly, allowing everything around it to be purified and ignited.

"Mystical Reproduction"!

Lu Mian had too many problems on his body. Just as he was hit by the pure, brilliant sunlight, he immediately felt a severe pain as if his outer skin was being forcibly stripped away, revealing bloody flesh. The residual aura of the "Blood Emperor" in his palm, the "Netherworld Daoist" seal, and the pitch-black needle hole were all triggered at the same time, standing out.

This allowed him to regain a certain degree of clarity in the chaos of his thinking and consciousness.

*Crack. *

He used "Mirror Substitute" again. As the glass fragments fell toward the bottom of the tower, he shifted his position and appeared at the edge of the palace terrace.

That was the path leading to the depths of the dark side of "Utopia."

However, sunlight was everywhere, and there was no darkness left. Lu Mian was suddenly ignited, emitting streams of golden flames.

His body began to melt.

A chill suddenly struck his back, as if an ethereal, viscous, slippery shadow had stuck to his back, wrapping around his body layer by layer, trying to erode into it.

Under such brilliant, pure, and scorching sunlight, how could there still be shadows? Where was the No-Dark Body? What kind of spell was this, both holy and evil... Lu Mian had a strong tolerance for burning, mainly fearing purification.

He did not hesitate to activate the black mark on his right shoulder.

"Teleportation"!

He disappeared from where he was and "teleported" directly to the next area.

His task was not to kill or delay Sidis and take away that Grade "0" Sealed Artifact. After seeing the horror of the Grade "0" Sealed Artifact, there was naturally no need to continue entangling, as that would instead affect the completion of his main task.

The reason Lu Mian fought Sidis just now was because he didn't dare to move forward too fast, fearing that he would rush into the angel's battlefield, which was likely more dangerous than staying here. It was better to try to see if he could solve the person of the same sequence using the Grade "0" Sealed Artifact.

Just as his figure appeared in the next area, he immediately took the initiative to use "Mirror Substitute," leaving all the golden flames and the chill behind him to that makeup mirror.

Lu Mian looked back and found that there was indeed a deep black mass struggling and wriggling in the golden flames that were burning and melting the mirror.

They annihilated at the same time.

In the palace terrace area, Sidis himself seemed to be wrong. The large area of black-and-white eyeballs behind him did not retract quickly.

He still struggled to take "Destined Madness" to chase the "Ageless Witch" just now.

Suddenly, a large amount of pale white steam surged into this area from the direction of the entrance to the dark side of "Utopia," gathering into a figure in mid-air.

That figure wore a monk-style gray robe, tied with the white apron of ancient stonemasons, draped with chestnut long hair, had blue eyes, and a handsome and young appearance, with a tall and slender figure.

…………

Under the influence of many spells, broken stone pillars were either completely shattered, completely collapsed, grew eyes, or became part of knowledge, none of them looking like their original appearance.

"Hermit" Cattleya, who used "Ugly Duckling" magic to manifest her incomplete mythical creature form, was suppressed by the rose-red giant dragon Letitia.

Her attacks and her magic could not exert effective effects after the other party's information-based body.

More than ten seconds had passed, and the effect of the "Ugly Duckling" magic was coming to an end.

Cattleya had no hesitation or anxiety. Following the predetermined plan, she prepared to use the "Ugly Duckling" for the second and last time today.

Only by relying on the incomplete mythical creature form could she support herself in front of Letitia!

Just then, one after another, transparent, invisible, and illusory information fell into this area in the form of a torrent, reorganizing into the "Mystic Queen" Bernadette, who wore chestnut long hair, had straight eyebrows, and eyes as deep as the ocean.

…………

Above the boundless wilderness, a large amount of transparent and illusory information gathered into Toriopo, the President of the "Rose Redemption Order."

Relying on information-based existence, he avoided the first round of attacks from Lady "Magician," attacks from multiple directions and multiple abilities.

The reorganized Toriopo still wore a hood, but his upper body was bare.

His upper body no longer looked like a human, as if it were a combination of five or six things:

There was a ferocious wolf head with short black hair, flames burning to form a throne, a pale face with strange eyes, countless maggots huddled together, and multiple asymmetrical black symbols...

These were several "Mystical Reproduction" spells that Toriopo had added to his information main body over the years, and they truly became a part of him.

When Toriopo appeared in this state, the corresponding magic would be triggered immediately and applied to the target.

As for the spell "Loss of Control Gaze," Toriopo felt it was too dangerous, and he himself had not truly figured out the underlying secrets. He was afraid that adding this information to the information main body would lead to the disintegration of the overall information structure, bringing about loss of control.

*Clang! *

Just as Toriopo finished reorganizing and was about to use a large number of spells in an intuitive way, an ancient and ethereal bell sound rang in his ears, and a giant stone clock, mottled and vicissitudinous, mixed with cyan-black and gray-white, seemed to appear before his eyes.

He felt that he was just stunned for a moment, and then quickly released those five or six spells at the same time.

This did not attack any target, nor did it affect any living creature.

Lady "Magician" had left this wilderness again.

The information on Toriopo's forehead changed and jumped violently.

His emotions became a bit unstable.

He knew that the enemy would come back soon!

Fight, can't hit; run, can't escape!

The "Farmer" pathway is also called the "Earth" pathway, the "Mother" pathway.

Franca looked at Lu Mian:

"Mr. 'Fool' said that you need to stay away from the Mother. Didn't you let Lugano try not to contact you before, and only contact through prayer? Hmm, it's not that you need to stay away, it's that disaster needs to stay away from the Mother, and Jenna and I are also of the disaster pathways."

Lu Mian thought for a while and said:

"Since Mr. 'Fool' didn't say that this sealed artifact couldn't be chosen, there shouldn't be any big problem...

"How about this, you pray to Mr. 'Fool,' and when you express your willingness to exchange one-third of the mid-to-low sequence Beyonder characteristics and magical items for a Grade '1' Sealed Artifact, directly ask if Beyonders of the disaster pathways can choose the sealed artifact corresponding to 'Coffin Carrier'."

"If not, then we can only choose 'Mystery Scholar'..." Franca's eyes gradually lit up, "That's also fine. This is Sequence 3 of the 'Generalist' pathway. I can look for 'Doctor' Beyonder characteristics, hand-make an all-automatic treatment machine to help me respond to those prayers for getting rid of diseases, and let the self in the mirror be responsible for distribution. Later, later maybe I can drive a Gundam..."

After confirming this, Lu Mian was about to let Jenna or Franca pray to Mr. "Fool," but Franca stood up and said with a bright smile:

"Time to go give the spoils of war to 'Professor' and the others!"

Happiness alone is not as good as happiness together!

…………

"Professor" and the others had long been brought back to Trier by Franca. Currently, they were gathering in a villa with a garden rented by Lady "Hela" according to the instructions. Their families and those wizards of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" who had been summoned before were all here.

Seeing "Sleeve Sword" and "Muggle," who was wearing a hood and mask, come out from the mirror, "Professor," "Periodic Table," and "Prototype," who were resting in the living room, stood up at the same time:

"When can we go home?"

Before their voices fell, they suddenly saw three items floating in front of "Muggle" and "Sleeve Sword":

One was an eyeball-shaped illusory gemstone that restrained its light, emitted a gloomy aura, and seemed to have eyes looking through it to examine everything. Two were spherical crystals dotted with many bright and quite illusory things.

This... The gazes of "Professor" and the others froze.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 1077 =====

The next second, "Professor" and the others seemed to see a wilderness where countless figures wandered and screamed, feeling that the knowledge chasing them suddenly increased and became intense.

They felt again the kind of pain when being crazily indoctrinated by the "Hidden Sage."

Then, a figure vaguely appeared before their eyes.

That figure sat cross-legged, face like beautiful jade, wearing a blue robe and a high crown.

He picked up an object called a "Whisk."

…………

A mysterious unknown place.

An illusory light composed of complex information hid itself and this area.

He was the "Hidden Sage," and he had prophesied danger.

Suddenly, he trembled violently, his body twisting like a giant python being pierced.

He had prophesied danger, but he hadn't prophesied that the danger could come from that wilderness!

He endured the pain, trying to cut off the connection and hide this part of the information as well.

Just then, a figure in a black trench coat followed that connection, descended from the sky, and landed in front of him, on the edge of the unknown place.

That figure used his right palm, wearing a black glove, to press down on the half-high silk top hat on his head, gradually standing straight.
