Chapter Forty-Six: Lan Qi's Thirst for Knowledge
the starry sky carried the fragrance of flowers and the freshness of herbs, softly brushing past the entrance to the Border Library.The moonlight falling on the steps softened, like the music of time...Chapter 46: Lan Qi's Burning Curiosity
In a classroom at the Shadow World Academy of Evil.
This unique dim atmosphere seems to make time slow down, with every second feeling like an eternity frozen in amber.
The red tablecloth stood out strikingly in the dim light, a deep and rich red, both absurd and full of artistic flair.
In this classroom, light and shadow, brightness and darkness, stillness and movement, all change in a regular and orderly manner.
It's obvious that the exam has already started.
Ranch knew that after coming to the Shadow World, the most important thing was to observe and understand the situation and current state.
The shadow world often possesses rationality.
Unless the challenger makes a mistake or fails, there will be no situations where death is inevitable and there is no solution.
Ranch's emerald eyes scanned the classroom, faint lights flickering in his pupils.
Although he tried his best to minimize his movements, he quickly noticed several students behaving improperly.
Their eyes flickered, their heads occasionally turning slightly, each movement betraying their intention to cheat.
Suddenly, a raspy voice cut through the silent and oppressive space.
This is a one-time warning. Any instances of head-to-head communication will be considered cheating.
That was the voice of the examiner from the traveling examination field, like the low roar of a lion, booming through the classroom.
The demon examinee, who had originally wanted to try peeking secretly, was immediately frightened out of his wits by this cold warning.
The demon candidates who almost got caught quickly bowed their heads, focusing all their attention on their answer sheets. Their faces were full of fear and nervousness, and the sweat dripping from their foreheads resembled dewdrops on leaves, trembling constantly, as if they might fall at any moment.
Even though they may appear quite terrifying in their own right, under the intimidating gaze of the demonic examiners, their strengths and weaknesses are immediately apparent.
> Subsequently.
The examiner resumed his orderly and methodical rounds.
But when the demon examiner turned his head, a cruel smile could not be concealed from the corner of his mouth. He resembled a beast that had been imprisoned for a long time, thirsting for carnage, staring at the cage and waiting for the perfect moment to pounce.
"...."
Ranch silently took in everything.
The strength of a demon student is actually quite easy to judge.
The magical intensity isn't exaggerated, most are around the second and third ranks, similar to Rance Hubrian.
The demon examiners who could scare them like this must be at least at the fourth level.
It is very possible that it could be a fifth order.
Then there are two terrifying fifth-rank demons, and passing this initial demon trial ground to go elsewhere with brute force is simply impossible.
However, Lynch also discovered some good news —
Hughbert sat on his left.
There was only one empty seat between them.
This feeling was even similar to how they felt before skipping class, sitting in the back row of the Sage Hall.
They were like being pulled back to the school classroom by the fear of death itself.
Hubert's appearance had not changed, just with the addition of some demonic features.
This convinced Lance that his appearance hadn't changed much, because even in the brief look, Huberlian recognized him.
Only, Lanchi didn't know why. Usually calm and rational Huberrian's face seemed to be in a terrible state right now.
And just now, the way Huberly flinched from his gaze... it was as if she were afraid he'd see her true demonic form.
"> "… "
"
Then Lance lowered his head for the moment, gazing at the things on the table before him.
The exam paper, with its crest at the top, was like a parchment bearing the demonic visage of a snarling beast. Its eyes burned with infernal fire, gazing at him as if from another realm.
And beside it, a inkwell made of demon crystal, its mouth inlaid with mithril, was filled with ink as black as night, still and motionless. It seemed to contain a heavy magic that had been held captive.
The feathers of the pen are as black as night, and the tip, sharp as a blade, glints with a metallic sheen. Unknown patterns are carved onto the handle, reflecting a chilling crimson.
Looks just like a set of tools for making vintage magic scrolls.
Indeed, this is a test for 【Demonic Magic Scroll】 students. Their answers are both written and like inscribing magic scrolls.
He directly saw the final pièce de résistance question.
Because the previous ones won't.
Question 10 (12 points): Please write out magical incantations that can be used when handling precious materials, each capable of achieving the following effects:
Help your pet's fur shed its sharp edges quickly.
Make the colors of monster furs change
Slightly harden or soften Warcraft's fur.
Glancing at the entire exam paper, Lanchi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Can't even write a single simple question.
Lanche discovered that the demons' magic, while strange, did have some merit because it involved principles of spellcasting that human magical texts couldn't achieve.
For example, these three kinds of life magic don't exist at all in human magic in the present world.
He finally realized that these questions weren't made for humans. Even Talya might not know the ancient demon magic on this exam paper. The time difference was too vast; many civilizations of different races would experience gaps and disappearances throughout history.
However, Ranch will not return.
He was like someone who had discovered a new continent, gradually clenching the parchment in his hand, his eyes betraying his excitement.
He really wanted to learn the three spells written at the end of the exam!
Since the test contains such magic, it indicates that there must be a place in the school that teaches this kind of magic.
These ancient demon tribe magics could be used on beasts. Let's imagine a master of both demonic and human magic, an engineering wizard, using the latest modern technology to enhance them.
Is it possible to create a version that can also be used by humans
Lance fell into deep thought.
I'm also becoming very curious!
Lanchi's mind is already starting to envision an autumn new product launch event.
In our daily lives, we often see other people's hairstyles that are not very good-looking, and even feel the urge to help them change their hairstyles.
Obviously, this is a benevolent and friendly plot that also embodies a lofty pursuit of the objective unity of aesthetics.
Then, the "Magic to Change Hairstyles" becomes very useful.
As an artist, Lancy felt it was essential for him to understand this theoretically possible magic.
He must also consider if this is his only chance in life—to learn the ancient demon magic written on the test paper and bring it back to the present world to study with Talia, perhaps discovering some practical new magic!
Then this current exam, we definitely need to pass it quickly!
For a moment, Lanci took advantage of the fact that both examiners were momentarily blinded by his own performance and glanced at Huberlian.
Hubley is currently doing unexpectedly poorly for an unknown reason, like he's forcing himself to hold on.
He hasn't had many opportunities to communicate with her for the time being.
I can only wait until after we both pass this test and then ask Huberly if they're still okay.
Well then, this time it's all up to you!
(The End)
