Chapter 154

She took a lot of exams, but in fact Li Wen was only absent-minded for two or three seconds. She was already considering all kinds of materials Path of Light Chasing Stage Two needed for the promotion ceremony. "Those who came for Sage's Ovum Sheath will never be willing to leave. After all, only a few of us have witnessed the whole incident. Is Miss Mephisto planning to return to Artificer's Hand Society?" Li Wen heard the implication of Moria's words. As Templar Knight, it was expected that he would not be able to turn a blind eye to Leicester's current chaos and would definitely intervene in it. However, Li Wen doesn't have that kind of intention. If she didn't have the responsibility of finding Original Text of Lineage, she might be willing to bring a little shock to the players of Leicester. But now there is no chance. She has to rush to collect materials and prepare for the ceremony to promote Path of Light Chasing to Stage Two. All this can be best accomplished within Leicester. So the two parted ways, Moria took the lead and left with his sword in hand. Looking at the other's slowly leaving back, only at this moment could Li Wen truly feel from the other party the coldness and sharpness of Firstborn of the Holy Temple who had killed countless heretics "in the past". Li Wen walked in the opposite direction. The Whispering Candle handed over to her by the demon of Dark Dawn did not record the detailed ceremony of Path of Light Chasing's promotion to Stage Two, but only emphasized a few key points. First of all, the ceremony requires two main materials. One is Dim Candle Blood, which is used to draw Ritual Array. It is usually taken from some kind of salamander with weak dragon blood flowing, and is refined from its fat and blood throughout the body. The other main material has no clear description, but is only described abstractly as a light that forms a shadow in the sun. The ceremony will use it as an anchor, so that it becomes the cornerstone of the promotion of the ceremony leader. As a person with past life memories, Li Wen is keenly aware that it is not that the recorder is unwilling to describe the other main material in detail, but that it can only be described with this vague abstract description, just like the twelve magic materials with different symbolic meanings used by Li Wen when Witch Disciple was promoted. In the field of occultism, they are collectively called materials from the spiritual world, substances or structures that do not belong to the concept of the real world. Dim Candle Blood is a relatively common magic material. In the past, Leicester might be able to find some sellers in the underground trading market, but it is hard to say now. As for the light from the spiritual world... The spiritual world is full of crises. In ancient times, it was called Gods's old home. Currently, Li Wen is not able to go deep into it to find that special light. It is said that the spirit world will continue to throw spiritual materials to Mortal World over the long years, and some of the spiritual materials including such abstract concepts were picked up by lucky extraordinary beings. Li Wen doesn't expect to have that kind of luck. What she can count on may be that Leicester has the kind of being who can go to the spirit world and is willing to help her search, just like Elder Priest of Sublime Rite. Or... just use her rich knowledge of Ritualology to create it. Chapter 162: Fighting Living Corpses Although it was expected that it would be difficult to find a normal meeting place for extraordinary people in Leicester under such circumstances, when Li Wen came to Wanderer's Tavern and saw Tavern with its door closed and a sign that it had recently closed down, it was a little surprising. The time of Leicester in the game is around six o'clock in the morning. At this time, most people come for the treasure. Both players and locals are more or less mentally or physically exhausted from a night of fighting and fighting. As the sky gradually became brighter and dawn was approaching, they moved the battlefield to a dark place with a tacit understanding, avoiding Investigation Bureau and the security guards who were searching everywhere. At least Li Wen did not encounter any blind extraordinary people along the way. So in theory, even if you have the idea of disguising Tavern as an entertainment place only for ordinary people, the owner of Tavern should open for business at this time, otherwise in the eyes of those Investigation Bureau investigators with a keen sense of smell, this Tavern will become extremely conspicuous. But the current situation either means that Tavern itself has something to do with official forces, or... someone has already taken a step ahead of her. Li Wen tried to push the door, but the seemingly closed Tavern door was pushed open by her without any surprise. Before she stepped into the dark interior of Tavern, a strong, sticky, moist smell of blood had already hit Li Wen. She frowned slightly and walked in anyway. Tavern was in civil turmoil as if there had been a thief, but apart from the overturned tables and chairs and broken wine glasses, Li Wen did not find any corpses or blood stains. However, the strong smell of blood that penetrated the nose and spread all kinds of fear indicated a certain fact. She moved her gaze to the entrance of the stairs leading to the second floor. It was pitch dark there. If someone was waiting for an opportunity to ambush there, they would definitely be caught off guard. If the opponent is an extraordinary person who is good at close combat, then there is a high probability that Li Wen will be injured even if Witch State is cooling down, but she still walks in that direction without hesitation, not even intending to cover up the sound of her footsteps. As she got closer and closer, the bloody and sticky smell became more and more intense, so intense that it seemed as if a cruel and bloody murder had occurred right in front of her eyes. Just a step away from the entrance, Li Wen stopped. There was a very slight sound in the darkness, like the sound of clothing or hair accidentally rubbing against the wall or the ground, but in this dark and silent Tavern, the sound still seemed too loud. It seemed that the other party was the first to lose his patience. Li Wen's expression remained unchanged. The original book symbolizing the end had appeared in her hands. As an invisible influence spread, a muffled sound reached Li Wen's ears. Seeing that Poem of Paradise had triggered the effect of the tower, Li Wen raised Crow Feather Dagger without hesitation. The dazzling light covered the thin edge of the dagger in an instant, and then slashed out along with her slashing motion. The arc blade formed by the light hit the attacker. Spell-less Arc Light, who was supposed to be invincible, rarely met his opponent this time. The sharp arc blade seemed to have cut into an extremely hard object and could only move forward slowly. However, the opponent forcefully broke away from the control effect of the tower in severe pain, and narrowly avoided the subsequent damage of the arc light in a flash. But while the light dissipated, Li Wen had already seen the face of the attacker clearly. The other party seemed to be a tall man, wearing the usual black trench coat of the Investigation Bureau investigators, but he did not exude the aura of a law enforcer. His skin was as pale as a corpse, his face was covered with dried blood, and his cold eyes were as quiet as a dead man. Spell-less Arc Light cut a huge, deep wound on his chest. However, there was no sign of blood gushing out from such a fatal wound. At his feet, a corpse that seemed to have been dead for only a few hours was lying there peacefully. There was nothing in the corpse's chest, only the strong smell of blood was spreading. This guy is not a human being, otherwise he would not be able to break away from Poem of Paradise's effect so quickly. Li Wen quickly made a judgment. At the same time, her next attack has been launched. As the party being attacked, Li Wen will not let the opponent go without any reason. The dagger shining with dazzling light stabbed the attacker, but the attacker directly held the blade with one hand. His amazing strength and reaction speed were second to none. What really surprised Li Wen was that his fingers were not cut off by Crow Feather Dagger. You must know that this is a purple quality weapon enhanced by Spell-less Arc Light enchantment. Li Wen raised his eyebrows, dodged the opponent's fist, whispered a prayer and threw a Dark Word Curse towards the opponent, and then took advantage of him being blinded to withdraw the weapon and retreat a few steps back. "Living corpse..." After two brief contacts in a row, Li Wen also had some guesses about this guy's identity. Strong body, quick reaction, body as hard as iron, has certain control effect
