Chapter 165
"Is this your office?" Liu Ping asked.

In the entire empty room, there is nothing too surprising.

It's just that there are dense metal pipes inlaid on the wall, each of which is rotating silently, as if it is on standby at any time.

"This place has long been transformed by the order of war. Every metal pipe has a unique function and can respond to our orders at any time." Hua Qingkong said.

She said to the wall: "Someone of us here wants to advance in strength."

On the wall, a metal pipe protruded slowly, hovering in front of the two of them.

A cold mechanical sound sounded:

"Please take out the advanced card."

Liu Ping took out the advanced card and put it in front of the metal pipe.

Click!

The metal pipe collected the advanced card and made another sound:
"The contribution value has reached the standard. According to the exchange rules, the advanced stage will be completed for you."

On the wall, seven or eight metal pipes moved.

At the same time, a faint box appeared around Liu Ping's body, and a number appeared on his upper left corner:
"2."

- He is a level 2 knight.

All the metal pipes flew out instantly.It keeps spinning around Liu Ping, injecting all kinds of things that Liu Ping can't recognize into the illusory box.

Lines of burning small characters quickly appeared:
"Notice!"

"You have been blessed with various mysterious powers."

"You are about to advance to a third-level card."

"This is the last strong boost in the early stages of the career."

"You can choose to go to the Pillar of Eternal Night to improve your halo ability at the contracted heroic spirit, or to acquire new skills based on your new occupation."

"The above upgrades will only be performed once every tenth level."

"Please choose carefully."

— Only once at level ten?
Liu Ping had to think seriously.

Relying on his vague intuition, he can already vaguely predict that if he goes to 40 meters, he will probably upgrade his halo.

But in fact, I have only mastered one technique so far:
Holy chant.

This is the most basic healing technique.

In the next long-term battle, I should seek some offensive methods that belong to the knights!
Thinking of this, Liu Pingmo said: "I won't go to '40 meters' for the time being, I need to acquire new skills according to my profession."

All burning small characters flashed and turned into new prompts:
"Because you have officially assumed the role of 'Prison Knight' and part-time job as 'Holy Knight', so you have already left the ordinary knight profession."

"The skills you will acquire come from the variant skills combined by the above two knight professions."

"—This is to cover up the existence of the 'Prison Knight', and it is also based on the 'Holy Knight' to make you stronger."

"Congratulations."

"You have obtained the unique variant skill of dual professions: life-saving and wound-healing skills."

"Skill description: absorb the opponent's mind power, magic power, spiritual power, physical strength, energy, flesh and blood strength, muscle and bone strength... and other types of power to form a superficial healing for the opponent, and his power will be transformed into soul Power, absorbed by you."

"The degree of absorption of soul power depends on the degree of injury of the target, and the correspondence is as follows:"

"Minor injury: absorb [-]% of the target's soul power."

"Medium damage: [-]% of the soul power is absorbed, and the target becomes exhausted."

"Secondary serious injury: [-]% of the soul power is absorbed, and the target falls into a weak state."

"Severe injury: absorb all soul power, and the target falls into a coma (dying state)."

"Special Note:"

"The attribute of saving lives and healing the wounded is sacred, and the effect belongs to the healing system, so generally speaking, this skill cannot be dispelled."

"—But there is rescue and help, either death or injury."

After Liu Ping and his party finished reading, he couldn't help blurting out: "I'll go!"

"What's wrong?" Hua Qingkong asked from the side.

"Ah, it's okay. I just haven't upgraded for a long time, so I'm a little excited." Liu Ping said quickly.

No wonder the old man hated holy knights so much.

No wonder the gods of Purgatory hate the Prison Knight so much.

Released separately, these two professions can kill people anytime and anywhere!
just now……

They are combined together, and they are gangsters!
At this time, the surrounding metal pipes were retracted one after another, and a number appeared on the upper left of Liu Ping: 3.

From now on, he is a third-level professional.

Just listen to that cold metal voice read:

"Congratulations."

"You have become a third-level professional."

"Your character attributes are as follows:"

"Occupation: Holy Knight."

"Name: Liu Ping."

"Level 3."

"Health value: 15."

"Attack power: 20."

"Soul Power: 0/12."

"Your personal file has been treated confidentially."

"Combined with the commander-in-chief's request, this sequence includes you as a key training object."

"You have obtained the full set of equipment that can be obtained at the current level."

A metal pipe stretched out and placed a set of cards in front of Liuping.

Liu Ping calmed down, took a look at the cards, and saw that all of them were equipment and supplies suitable for knights.

"The old man is so generous?" He asked in disbelief.

"Of course, the premise is that you are worthy of him." Hua Qingkong said with a smile.

"Thanks in advance. After we return from the ruins of the Kingdom of Ceylon, I will put on a show and invite him to drink."

By the way, Liu Ping felt the changes in himself.

strength--

It does improve.

Whether it's reaction ability, pure strength, or even speed and mental power, they all have a certain degree of improvement compared to level two.

This is where the value of the order of war lies.

It can help human professionals keep getting stronger!
The empire was thus established, and gradually became stronger in just a few hundred years.

Liu Ping took out a card from that set and put it in front of his eyes.

There is a scale on this card.

——Advanced card.

Another blank advanced card, the scale displayed on it is 20.

As long as you fill in 20 points of soul power, you can call the sequence machine again to raise your level to level 4.

Next, I will go all out to upgrade my level!

Hua Qingkong took a set of soft robes, handed them over and said, "Our new identity is the trainee members of the Imperial Energy Exploration Team. This time, we are sent to the ruins of the Kingdom of Ceylon to record the underground energy deposits found there."

"But why wear a robe?" Liu Ping asked.

"This is a warm robe - it can keep our body temperature normal to a certain extent." Hua Qingkong said.

"I remembered, it's very cold there." Liu Ping said, recalling the knowledge in the book.

Hua Qingkong took out two more documents and handed one to Liu Ping.

This is their work card.

Everything is true.

If someone is interested in tracing, they will find that the information of the two is genuine, including the Imperial Energy Exploration Center, and the corresponding transfer documents of the two, even including all the information they have since they were studying, all of which have been properly arranged.

"Three or ten minutes later, there is a train bound for the border of the empire; the airship will have to wait until tomorrow night, so we can't drive an airship just for us, that would be too eye-catching."

Liu Ping asked, "How long does the train take?"

"Tomorrow at noon." Hua Qingkong said.

"Then let's take the train and leave immediately. We can't wait any longer—maybe the evidence in the ruins will also be destroyed by the other party," Liu Ping said.

"Okay, then we have to leave immediately." Hua Qingkong said.

"go!"

……

The train moved slowly.

Hua Qingkong rested her chin on one hand, sat by the window, and seriously flipped through a book about the Kingdom of Ceylon.

Liu Ping was sitting opposite her, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Here is the map of the Kingdom of Ceylon, don't you want to see it?" Hua Qingkong asked.

"I've read your book, and there are several errors on the map." Liu Ping said without raising his eyes.

"Is there a fallacy?" Hua Qingkong didn't believe it.

"Yes, on page 360, at the upper left of the map, eleven place names were printed incorrectly. Their order should be reversed from left to right. The corrected version has just come out, and only the Royal Academy Library has it. I just finished reading it." Liu Ping said.

Hua Qingkong simply put the book away, sighed and said, "I almost forgot, you are a humanoid solver—I just have a question I want to ask."

"Let's talk." Liu Ping said indifferently.

"On this land, why can we explore about 3000 years of human history, but not any further?" Hua Qingkong asked.

"It's very simple. 3000 years ago, this place belonged to a sleeping person. Later, it disappeared. After the human soul entered the eternal night, it only had a chance to survive when it arrived here." Liu Ping said.

Hua Qingkong hesitated and said, "You mean—"

"That's right, when that sleeper was here, human souls were eaten by it as soon as they entered here," Liu Ping said.

"Where did that sleeping person go?" Hua Qingkong asked.

"Who knows, some human kingdoms have conducted research on this in history, and there are too many speculations. The one that interests me the most is that the sleeper thought of a way to escape from the eternal night and return to purgatory. go."

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he asked again: "By the way, do you want to go back to Purgatory?"

Hua Qingkong said: "I think Purgatory has a strict hierarchy, and all kinds of wars are cruel and bloody, but compared to Yongye, it is not so scary."

"Yes, in the eternal night, you never know what kind of existence you will wake up, and how it will treat your soul." Liu Ping nodded in agreement.

Hua Qingkong was silent for a few breaths, then turned her head and looked out the window.

The bustling city street scene retreated rapidly.

The train began to accelerate.

It gradually drove out of the imperial city, and ran with all its strength on the vast and barren wilderness.
