Chapter 610 - Seven Star (2/2)
After the collaboration was confirmed, Cheyenne heaved a sigh of relief, and left the tent with Lin Li to return to the Malfa Family’s campsite.
After Lin Li had returned to his tent, he continued to do his daily a.s.signment—reading the Book of Eternity. Halfway up the mountain, Lin Li had survived the t.i.tan Spirit’s mental strength attack because of the knowledge recorded in the Book of Eternity.
After surviving the mental strength attack from a Sanctuary-realm powerhouse, Lin Li could clearly feel his improvement in mental strength. Just like how air would liquidize under strong pressure, Lin Li’s mental strength became more concentrated. This was probably another good thing that Lin Li had gained after putting in so much effort to disperse the t.i.tan Spirit using the Requiem Array.
Back when Lin Li had battled the elven Legendary-mage Vidas in Roland City, the former had released the Lord of Nightmares, and even he had almost sunk into the endless nightmares. If he were to go fight that battle now, he wouldn’t have to put himself in such a situation given his current mental strength.
As night approached, Norfeller, who had guarded the tent all this while, turned into a bat and flew towards the surrounding forest.
Norfeller didn’t need to report to Lin Li, as this was already a routine after coming to the Haiga Mountain Range. Every night, Norfeller would turn into a bat and investigate outside the campsite. As a high-ranking Vampire, Norfeller’s abilities improved tremendously after he followed Lin Li. Now, his abilities were approaching Legendary-realm. At night, the abilities of Vampires would enjoy a considerable increase. Therefore, he could be considered to be at Legendary level now. Even the most outstanding Bandit couldn’t match his investigation abilities.
Norfeller flew past the Malfa Family’s campsite and then the elves’ campsite. With his Legendary-level power, his flying speed was so fast that he couldn’t be seen with naked eyes. After going one round around the campsites, he had only spent 15 minutes. Seeing that there weren’t any abnormalities around, he turned to go back to his campsite.
However, just as he was flying past the elves’ territory, a few arrows shot towards him with lightning speed. Although he possessed Legendary-level strength now, the sharp arrows had already pierced his body just as he wanted to avoid them.
Norfeller was shot seven times. The strange power from the arrows made him unable to fly, and he dropped down straight from the sky. Just when he landed, a group of elves crowded around his body.
“Seven shots! All seven arrows are hits! Jacques, no wonder you’re the greatest archery genius of us elves for the last 100 years!” an elf shouted excitedly and held the struggling Norfeller down.
“Of course! The Seven Star Archery Skill is one of our strongest archery skills! Even if a Legendary powerhouse came, he wouldn’t be able to escape the Seven Star as well!” Another elf looked so proud as if he was the one who shot the arrows.
Norfeller wanted to struggle, but the seven arrows seemed to have sealed his strength; he couldn’t even use his physical strength now.
Just then, another elf who held a carved longbow slowly walked towards Norfeller. Although he didn’t reply to his friends’ flattery, he seemed to be enjoying it very much. Looking at Norfeller, the elf looked disgusted. He stepped onto Norfeller’s chest hard and sneered. “Dirty Undead creature, do you know where this is? This is the G.o.ddess’ sacred mountain! How dare you dirty this sacred land with that dirty body of yours?”
Although the Haiga Mountain Range was filled with magical beasts, the night was extremely quiet. Hence, the elves’ noisy exchange stood out during the quiet night, though it didn’t attract any people out of their tents.
Lin Li was completely absorbed in the sea of knowledge in the Book of Eternity, absorbing the precious a.s.sets left behind by the G.o.d of Mages Geres...o...b..t by bit. Although he was very talented in magic and had outstanding achievements in other areas, he was still just a little mage who had just stepped into the Legendary-realm not long ago.
Lin Li didn’t know how good Geresco was at other facilitating occupations such as pharmaceutics, alchemy, inscription, forging, etcetera. However, in terms of magic, Lin Li was definitely very far behind Geresco. More often than not, Lin Li had to think for a long while in order to understand a few sentences in the book. After he had finally figured it out, he would feel that he had found the best solution to many of the problems that bothered him in the past.
The contentment that Lin Li felt every time he read the Book of Eternity and figured out one more problem made him want to immerse in it even more.
However, just as Lin Li was almost about to figure out a difficult problem in the book today, his heart suddenly tingled, and his thought process was forcefully interrupted. This angered Lin Li, but he realized that what had interrupted him was the fluctuation in blood-oath from his soul.
