When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

Late at night, after most of the people in the convoy had gone into the tents to rest, Li Shanren returned to the carriage, crushed the restored blessed candle in his palm, and entered the border area.

During the seven or eight days of rest in that town, since Altaïr and Ezio were not there, he was worried that Tifa would not be able to handle it alone if they encountered danger, so he did not go to the border.

Therefore, only in the two days before arriving in the town, he went to the border once every night and basically completed the exploration of the magic academy.

As for the specific exploration process, if it is a newcomer who has just arrived at the magic academy, there is naturally a lot to talk about. But for Li Shanren, although it has been magnified many times, many parts are still familiar.

For example, all kinds of magical hidden walls covered with illusions, shortcuts in various places, and high places that need to be reached by special means have basically been explored.

Although I was tricked once before because some parts were not consistent with the game...

In addition to exploring the magic academy, Li Shanren also tried his best to teleport to the Blood Dynasty and collect a considerable amount of runes through the newly appeared Blood Crows.

Of course, due to the delay caused by the exploration, he was unable to travel to the Blood Dynasty on time.

A new Blood Crow would appear every 8 hours. Theoretically, he could harvest up to 12 Blood Crows during each four-day stay at the border, but in reality he could only harvest around 10 to 11.

For example, during the two days of exploration, Li Shanren harvested a total of 22 blood crows and obtained nearly 8 runes from them. He basically used these runes to strengthen himself and raised his level by . His current attributes are as follows -

【Name】: Li Shanren

[Race]: Ordinary human

【Level】：81→89

【Life】: 30→31

[Endurance]: 18

【Focus】：25

[Strength]: 20

【Dexterity】：21

[Intelligence]: 53→60

【Belief】：17

[Perception]: 12

[Focus Value]: 157 (including the amulet "Blue Amber Pendant" + 7% maximum concentration value bonus)

[Rune required for distance to next level]:

[Note]: The blessing of Greg Dalu increases all attributes by +5, the brand of Radagon increases life, endurance, strength and dexterity by +3 each, and the teleportation of two fingers increases faith by +5.

Before the runes required for upgrading increased to more than 20, Li Shanren no longer needed to worry about upgrading. He expected that he could rely on Blood Crow to climb to around level .

Only then will the situation arise where the guaranteed income is not enough for upgrading.

However, it is estimated that by then, Li Shanren may have already switched to a new method of grabbing runes.

Although the theoretical maximum level is level 713, this is only the case without taking into account any additional bonuses. In fact, as long as all attributes are maxed out to 99, it can be considered the maximum level, and it is not necessary to actually upgrade to level 713.

After all, the number of runes required to increase the level becomes more and more exaggerated. It is said that a total of nearly 1.7 billion runes are needed to truly reach the maximum level.

Fundamentally speaking, it still depends on the specific attributes. The level is just a virtual value for the convenience of calculation.

Raising intelligence to 60 can be said to be a watershed. Further increases will certainly further enhance the power of magic, but it will not be conducive to overall improvement.

Therefore, in the subsequent attribute improvement strategy, Li Shanren plans to increase the life attribute to 40 to further enhance his own life-saving ability, and then consider raising the upper limit of the concentration value, and then he can consider developing the "faith" attribute.

After all, there are many very convenient and practical spells in the religious schools, including powerful prayer spells. Compared with pyroxene magic, it can be said that each has its own strengths.

......

"Bam—!"

A large black iron ball with a diameter of more than two meters fell down like a mountain, then rolled down along the winding and wide stone steps in front of it, and finally fell into an abyss that could not be seen to the bottom at the end of the broken stairs.

After the iron ball disappeared, a figure in a white wizard robe appeared outside the stairs, walked quickly past the place where the iron ball fell, and entered an academy building connected to the courtyard.

"It's so dangerous."

Standing in the house, Li Shanren looked up at the circular magic circle above the door.

The central part of the circular magic circle seemed to be hollowed out and was extremely dark, surrounded by a circle of beautiful and complex magic patterns.

After a few seconds, the space around the magic circle suddenly distorted and blurred, and then a new large iron ball was generated in the center of the magic circle. It fell heavily and rolled towards the stairs leading to the building like its predecessor.

If someone failed to dodge on the stairs at this moment, he would probably be crushed to pieces, or directly knocked into the abyss outside the stairs.

The stairs outside are built in mid-air, and combined with the iron ball formation, this design seems to be intended to block anyone heading towards this place.

Because by passing through this building and taking the large elevator at the end of the courtyard in front, you can reach the magic academy's large library.

Rumor has it that this is where the Full Moon Queen Reinara is imprisoned. (Note: Chapter 241, font size 23, page 15, the priest Miliye once told this story)

The Full Moon Queen Reinara is the leader of the Kalia royal family and the School of Magic. She ruled the Lienia region long before the establishment of the Golden Dynasty. The symbols of her power are the stars and the moon.

Before the Golden Law officially ruled the border area, Radagon, a red-haired hero from the Golden Dynasty, led his army to conquer the Lienia region and fought against the Full Moon Queen. The two sides fought two wars in total.

In the First Lienian War, Radagan made great contributions and was awarded the title of hero.

In the Second Lienian War, the Golden Dynasty army led by Radagon fought a fierce battle with the army of the Full Moon Queen, and in the end no one won. The red-haired hero Radagon was conquered by the Full Moon Queen during the war and repented for starting the war.

Finally the war ended, Radagon and the Full Moon Queen Lena resolved their hatred in front of the Church of Marriage and became partners. The red-haired hero lived in the Lienia region from then on.

Radagon and Lenarra raised three children together, namely Moon Princess Lani, Grand Justice Lacard, and Star-Breaking General Latan, who is now known as the "strongest demigod".

After the first King of Elden of the Golden Dynasty, Gefre, was deprived of his blessings and expelled from the border, Radagon abandoned the Full Moon Queen and returned to the royal city under the golden tree, becoming Queen Marika's new partner and taking over as the second King of Elden.

At the same time, the three children of Radagon and Lena joined the Golden Dynasty as relatives, obtained the status of demigods, and were able to inherit the Great Rune fragment of the Elden Ring in the future.

But the abandoned Full Moon Queen Lenara has since lost her "heart". She is no longer a hero, and is not qualified to be the Queen of Kalia who rules the entire Lake Lienia.

This was keenly noticed by the magicians of the academy, who then joined forces with the magic soldiers known as "Cuckoo" to launch a rebellion and placed the Full Moon Queen under house arrest in the academy's large library.

It's not uncommon for the Full Moon Queen to be betrayed.

In fact, before the appearance of the Full Moon Queen Lenara, there was no so-called royal family in the Lake Lienia region, only a magic academy.

It was Renara, who was once a hero, who conquered the academy and brought Kalia to the throne of the royal family. She was also the first King of Kalia.

Text source

It was also from that time that the magic academy was renamed "Rhea Lukalia Academy", which actually means "Kalia Royal School of Magic".

Before this, the Magic Academy had no habit of being ruled by royal power, and compared to royal power, the academy's pyroxene magicians believed more in the starry sky above their heads.

It's just that the Full Moon Queen, who was once full of vigor and vitality and known as a "hero", is now imprisoned in the great library in a daze, which is a very sad thing.

However, Li Shanren's real purpose of coming to the magic academy was not to save the ill-fated Queen Kalia.

On the contrary, his purpose was to seize the Great Rune from the Full Moon Queen.

Rumor has it that before Radagon left the Full Moon Queen, he left her an amber egg, and that a large rune was hidden in that amber egg.

......

In the courtyard outside the academy building, the sound of magical bombardment continued to be heard.

One after another, huge magic comets the size of a head flew towards a fully armored Kalia knight.

The knight was not very tall, and the armor he wore was exactly the same as the Kalia Knight suit that Li Shanren had obtained before.

In his left hand he held a teardrop-shaped silver knight's shield inlaid with blue pyroxene, and in his right hand he tightly grasped a Kalia Knight's sword. He was agile and could always roll at the right time to avoid the magic broom stars shot at him.

Even if there is an occasional mistake, he will block it with the silver knight shield in his hand.

The knight's shield seemed to have excellent resistance to magic. Even powerful magic like Broom Star could be greatly weakened. When the magical damage invaded the body of Knight Kalia, he just groaned and endured it as if nothing had happened.

Soon, he rushed to Li Shanren, jumped high, and chopped him on the head with a sword.

The next second, a semicircular light green magic shield appeared upside down, protecting Li Shanren firmly inside.

"Bang!"

The sharp magic straight sword slashed on the surface of the shield, making a clear sound.

Li Shanren, who was hiding in the shield, was unharmed and kept a distance of half a meter from the Kalia Knight in front of him.

Ever since he was beaten up by Crazy Fire Vic last time, Li Shanren has learned from his mistakes and developed a new use for the Spirit Shield, which is to expand the Spirit Shield into a protective shield that can protect the space within half a meter around him.

Although this will increase Rune's consumption, it can effectively prevent the enemy from getting close to him, and he will no longer be shot away by Vic like before.

Although you won't get hurt, you won't be able to cast magic if you're constantly controlled in this way.

Moreover, if one encounters a force like epilepsy fire that can penetrate the shield and directly cause mutations in the body, this protection mode can also have a certain isolation effect.

It was also after experiencing the last battle that Li Shanren finally understood why, during the previous battle against the Archbishop of Sloth in Olin City, the opponent could clearly use the elemental shield to protect him, but insisted on creating a large protective shield that seemed to only increase the consumption of magic power.

Now that I think about it, as a great mage, the Archbishop of Sloth in Olin City should have had relevant experience a long time ago...

To the opponent, the Knight of Kalia, this suddenly appearing shield seemed quite unfriendly.

This meant that he was completely trapped in a situation where he could only passively take a beating.

In the next ten seconds, dazzling broom stars pierced his body at close range, making it impossible for him to dodge calmly like before. He could only withstand several broom stars headlong.

In the end, the Kalia Knight only had time to pull out a staff from thin air, swing the blue Kalia sword and chop the shield with all his strength, then he knelt on the ground unwillingly, his body dissipated, his soul returned to the golden tree, and only his teardrop-shaped silver shield was left on the ground.

The Kalia sword, swung with all his strength, only shook Li Shanren's spiritual shield slightly.

This Kalia Knight is named "Mugram". He is one of the magic knights responsible for guarding the Kalia royal family. It is rumored that there are less than twenty Kalia Knights. They once followed the Full Moon Queen Reinara to resist the invasion war launched by the Golden Dynasty. Their combat power is comparable to that of the heroes of the Golden Dynasty.

Mugram is proficient in a fighting technique called "counterattack", which means that at the moment of the enemy's attack, he uses the shield to use his strength to deflect the enemy's attack, creating a gap in front of the opponent. He then seizes the opportunity to stab the enemy's abdomen with his long sword and kill the enemy directly.

Even when facing long-range magical attacks, Mugram can use a special counter-attack called "Kalia's Return" to eliminate the incoming magic and prayer spells, and transform the opponent's power into three magical swords suspended above his head to counterattack the enemy.

Kaliah Return

It can be said that if Mugram uses the parrying technique, he will be a very difficult enemy regardless of close combat or ranged combat.

Unless it encounters a magical or physical attack that is too powerful, Mugram can easily defeat any opponent, and even if it cannot defeat him, he can remain invincible.

However, this time, his battle strategy went wrong, as he wanted to end the battle quickly through close combat.

Logically speaking, facing a magician who is not good at close combat, Mugram's strategy is normal and there is nothing wrong with it.

But the sudden appearance of the spiritual shield caught him off guard.

At the same time, because he was too close, he was unable to perform "Kalia's Return" in time to eliminate the broom stars that were in front of him almost in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, after resisting multiple consecutive hits, Mugram had no choice but to accept defeat.

The Kalia Knight Armor and Kalia Knight Shield on him certainly have excellent protection against magic, but as one of the highest-level pyroxene magics, Broom Star still has considerable power even after being weakened.

The fact that Mugram was able to withstand multiple meteor strikes before dying was a result of his strong body.

After the battle, Li Shanren removed the spirit shield, walked to the place where the Kalia Knight disappeared, bent down to pick up the silver shield, and put it away carefully.

Kalia Knight Mugram is the last guard standing in front of the academy's great library.

There is no doubt that he was guarding the Full Moon Queen Renara who was imprisoned in the Great Library. It was just a sad thing that among the once famous Knights of Kalia, only one was left who stayed by the queen until his death.

But no matter what, from now on, Li Shanren only has one opponent left in the magic academy -

Full Moon Queen Lenara.

......

-------Dividing line------

In the game, Mugram can only deflect melee attacks, not ranged magic, but he does use Kalia's Return. This is probably because Mugram's strength can defeat most mage players who just met him even without deflecting magic. If he adds a deflection command like the tree guard, it is estimated that many mage players will be defeated. (Thanks to the kindness of Miyazaki the old thief)

I originally wanted to write more about the battle with Mugram, but I guess I'll have to write another chapter. Plus with the subsequent Full Moon Queen, the battle will take up too much space, so I think I'd better stick to the main storyline.
