Volume 9: Vampires and Dungeons Chapter 33 Postscript To the Moon
After that, a period of peace passed, and the fire in the Black Tower did not attract much attention.
To be precise, it was deliberately done not to attract too much attention. Basically, all the voices of opinion have been suppressed and no one cares about it in particular.
Although the last descendant of the Mist Family died in the fire, the family was already almost extinct. After the last heir died, the nobles who had long been eyeing the meat began to tear the flesh apart frantically, hoping to get the most delicious and tasty piece.
It was not a big deal for the Black Tower that a family that was once famous and powerful quickly declined in one accident after another. There were many families of the same size or even larger than the Mist Family, and they had also experienced decline and rise, and also had various secret histories and anecdotes. So when there was a problem with the Mist Family, these people were very calm and started to take action directly against the industries and lands that had no owners.
Such things happen countless times in the Black Tower. Just as there are some lucky people, there are also declining families. It is just an insignificant part of the operation of all things.
In just a few days, all the industries and wealth here had been transferred.
Those antiques were often mentioned, but they were nowhere to be found. No one knew where those artifacts and antiques with a long history were. That strange fire not only burned all the tempting wealth, but also covered some ugly things in the fire.
Some people claimed to have seen archaeologists run away from the space gate, but all archaeologists kept silent, saying that it had never happened and it was nonsense. It was a frame-up and persecution of the entire Black Tower archaeology community. They reserved the right to appeal. Being targeted by a group of archaeologists was obviously a daunting thing, and such a large number of antiques entering the market would inevitably affect the price of antiques, so the nobles turned a blind eye.
After all, compared to the so-called money laundering stuff like antiques and calligraphy and paintings, the truly valuable industries are those that can bring in golden coins. And there are already archaeologists who have been involved in the dispute and guaranteed it, so why bother about so much? If you mess with this group of ruthless people who specialize in digging up people's ancestral graves, be careful that you will make money but not live to spend it in the future. Some people even say that it was actually the archaeologists who killed the whole family.
Although many people say that this is nonsense, there are still many people who secretly say that this statement actually has a certain degree of credibility. Because it is obvious that archaeologists are a group of problematic people.
Just knowing this is enough.
However, these nobles did not know that a few days later, in the ruins that had been cleared away at the fire scene, a group of mysterious shadows began digging underground.
A group of researchers in robes were holding some strange instruments around to read the parameters of magic or rituals, while another group of people were holding paper and pens and projecting constantly in the underground ruins, trying to restore the appearance of the time. After Li Lin's post-incident report, the university's investigation team sent a group of interns to investigate this cursed land that was skipped by the curse system.
As the first person to discover the situation, Li Lin waited on the spot and was ready to provide support at any time if there was any accident.
The seal after the blood sacrifice has been reopened, and Li Lin has once again returned to his original state as a white knight with infinite magic power and great strength.
However, he was no longer the kind of person who wanted to show off. After the blood sacrifice and seal of his ancestors, Li Lin felt that he had thought of a lot, but it seemed that he had not thought of anything. He could only stand there, looking at the excavated pit thoughtfully.
I am not unique, I guess. I got the blood sacrifice at the beginning with great luck, and then got the holy sword with infinite magic power. Sparks and lightning all the way, when I really can't fight, it must be a monster that human power can't reach, and I will never lose in a battle of the same level. This level of power brought me great confidence and vanity in the game, which eventually led to my almost capsizing in the gutter.
It's a warning, but it seems meaningless . In theory, the purpose of playing games is just to have fun. Is it useful to have such a strong warning?
Maybe it's useful. At least I will think twice before doing anything next time.
Standing in front of the deep excavated pit, Li Lin sighed.
At the side, a group of archaeologists who were insiders raised their heads from their work, looked at Li Lin who was in deep thought, glanced at each other, and then revealed mysterious smiles.
"That's what I was saying. How could there be any living people left among the Pure Ones? Oh haha~"
"That's right, you told us you were from the archaeology department, what a bad guy, eh hehe~"
"Oh, but it's also good that we can take the route to the university at the same time, so that we can have a closer route, right? Master Jingsheng is really a good person, hahaha~"
“…”
At this point, even if we say that this was actually just an accident, these bastards will say that they are unusually humble, right?
Looking at those archaeologists with strange smiles on their faces, Li Lin completely gave up the desire to communicate with this group of people. Before long, a blue light and shadow appeared beside Li Lin, and the professor's head soon appeared in it, conveying the voice clearly.
"'We found the gate you mentioned underground. It's the legendary Gate of Greed. One of the traces left by the Devil of Greed, you can get the desired result through sacrifice and self-sacrifice... The ancestor probably sacrificed his friend, or the friend sacrificed himself. But it is indeed a very rare specimen. The Devil of Greed has not been able to escape since I sealed him, so it's great to have one more specimen this time.'"
"'Oh, by the way, Assistant Professor Sally asked me to tell you something. She still hasn't made it to the stage of descending into human form. The university has recently adjusted the parameters of the barrier due to some minor problems, so she can't come over now. But she asked me to tell you that she loves you forever.'"
"'And one more thing, since you have decided to awaken the second seal on your own, you can also try to apply for the position of assistant lecturer or lecturer at that time...'"
"……professor."
"'Hmm? What's wrong?'"
"I want to live on the moon for a while."
Looking at the dark sky, Li Lin said lightly.
