The days of learning black magic in another world

"Lake Cromwell?? Are you sure?"

"Yes Bishop, I'm pretty sure..."

"I see."

Bishop Pound stood up from his seat with a serious face and began to gather the hunting team for Riemann.

As the bishop of Sydney King's Capital, he can mobilize a lot of power. Considering that Riemann is a three-ring curse mage...he must at least bring a team of three-ring priests and two-ring magicians of each department Only as an assistant.

Fortunately, since the day he came back, he has issued a transfer order to the territory of Quanxini. Now that Riemann's whereabouts are roughly settled, he can also set off to hunt him down!

However, he had just summoned everyone, and he hadn't had time to go to... Lake Cromwell. To be honest, he didn't understand why Riemann appeared there. It is easy to understand why he appeared in an inaccessible place. But Lake Cromwell?That is a large lake on a plain without any shelter. If Riemann wants to build any magic base there, it will be unobstructed...

(Riemann: No, you think too much, I just came to observe the ecological environment here.)

But he was just about to leave, and before he could actually leave, a priest rushed towards him in a hurry and panting.

His priestly robes were a slightly different color from theirs, lighter and closer to white, which meant he was from the Holy Land.

"Bishop! Bishop Pound! Mr. Bishop! Please wait a moment!"

"what happened?"

"There has been a change in the abyss, the pope orders you to immediately summon all the priests and magicians of the second ring in Sydney..."

"What mutation?"

"...and immediately join His Highness the Holy Son... Huh... Uh, this, I don't know what the specific mutation is, I am only in charge of passing on the message..."

"Does it have to be now? I have a very important thing to finish now, maybe it can be postponed until tomorrow? After all, it will take some time to gather everyone."

"Bishop Pound, this is an emergency."

"……okay, I get it."

……

Urang King City, the central church.

A blinding white light appeared in daylight, and it took a while before someone approached Father Prescott and congratulated him:

"Congratulations, Your Royal Highness, for successfully stepping into the third ring, especially since you have chosen such a difficult third ring magic as the promotion condition... You really deserve it."

Father Prescott's expression was calm, he didn't turn his head to look at the priest who was trying to compliment him, he gently turned over another page, the previous one said "Rebirth", this one was It says "Silence".

"But I'm curious, what made you suddenly decide to be promoted, His Royal Highness?"

"intuition."

"intuition?"

Father Prescott didn't answer the other party's question, and the other party didn't mean to be offended. He was used to the indifference of His Royal Highness the Son.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and the accompanying priest straightened up, adjusted his expression, and opened the door.

The moment he opened the door, he froze for a moment, because the person who came was wearing a slightly special priest's attire, and he recognized that color, which was so light that it was close to real sunlight, which belonged to the Holy Land.

"The abyss has changed, the pope ordered the Holy Son to lead a team to investigate and eradicate the danger."

Father Prescott, whose face never fluctuated, raised his head: "Location."

"Batterey County."

A long time after the priest who came to inform left, Father Prescott's cold voice sounded in the small room: "So this is my mission."

……

Sidney capital.

Bishop Pound felt that he had taken a big breath, which made him breathless, and his chest kept rising and falling. It was almost like watching Riemann leave-it made him angry.

He is waiting for the arrival of the second-ring magicians and priests who were not recruited by him in the "hunt for Riemann" event in Sydney. Although this process will take a little time, it will not take two hours, so he temporarily loses Gained a chance to hunt down Riemann... He was so mad!

No... no, he had to do something.

What to do...?

He was thinking... thinking... His eyes inadvertently fell on his bookshelf, where there were various classics and some sample books sent by the publishing house.

"A Brief Course in Calculus" by Riemann Iserveld.

This book suddenly jumped into his field of vision, which made Bishop Pound's already high anger reach a peak in an instant. He angrily pulled out this sample book from the bookshelf, threw it on the ground and stomped on it a few times.

This was not enough to relieve his anger, he opened the door suddenly, and breathed fire at the assistant priest sitting at the small table on the left: "Now! Immediately! Immediately! Go and get all the books that Iserveld originally published Take it back and destroy it!"

"Yes, but the bishop...that book has been sold all over the mainland."

"Don't do this to me, Rick, I know you just want to be lazy, now, immediately, go to the publishing house and follow their book sales trail to find every book and destroy it... Oh yes, by the way, let me know Dornicke Academy, it is not allowed to mention Riemann Iserveld in non-critical purposes in speech and writing!"

After all, Bishop Pound was still a person who had studied mathematics, and he did not directly say "Iserveld's conclusion is not allowed".

But his actions in a fit of anger still quickly frustrate the students of Donic College-especially those who are about to graduate...

"What do you mean you can't mention Riemann Iserveld?! Oh my gosh, does he know how much of that name is in my paper?! And! I've already transcribed it! Do you know how much I've revised it? Did you just finish the final version of the thesis?! It’s good now, I have to revise and transcribe again.”

After a while, Louis muttered again very, very softly: "Damn it, it's not our responsibility for Iserveld's defection...Why am I the one who got hurt...I'm going to graduate soon after all... "

……

"Hello, is Duke Hausmann at home? He doesn't seem to be in the academy today."

"Yes, may I ask Mr. Priest what can I do with the master?"

"It's like this. According to the records of Bojin Bookstore, Duke Hausmann bought two copies of "A Concise Course in Calculus" by Riemann Iserveld, right?"

"Yes, I purchased it myself."

"That's right, the Holy See's latest ban prohibits private possession of Iserveld's publications, so can you let me meet with Duke Hausmann, and then let me take those two books?"

"Of course, please come in."

"..."

"Good day, Duke Hausmann."

"Good day, Monsieur Father."

"It's like this. According to the records, the two copies of "A Concise Course in Calculus" in Bojin Bookstore now belong to you in terms of ownership... According to the latest ban of the Holy See, the bishop has requested that this book be recalled, and I hope His Excellency the Duke can cooperate."

"Oh... "A Concise Course of Calculus", I burned it."

"Thanks...huh?"

"That Iserveld guy, what he wrote is too arrogant. I don't allow anyone to be more arrogant than me, so I burned the two books. If you want the book, it will definitely be gone, but Kerry may still be able to write it for you. Find the original dust, do you want it?"

"Uh... No need, I'll just record the two copies as damaged. Excuse me, Your Excellency the Duke."

"Don't disturb, don't send."

……

The bottom of Lake Cromwell.

Riemann didn't hold back anything, and directly hit the stone with a set of continuous control and continuous moves without leaving any room.

After he attacked, the amount of blood on the top of the stone was revealed.

[Three-ring Warcraft: Boulder--the bearer of the spiritual fruit, attack it!attack it!As long as you break it, you can see the "treasure"! 】

Riemann cheered up instantly. What could be more exciting than being able to "kill a three-ring monster" while "expanding the living space of other monsters"?

In fact, the process of attacking this boulder was easier than Riemann imagined, perhaps because this monster has been used to controlling other monsters for a long time, and its defense and escape mechanism seems to have degraded seriously, at least Riemann accidentally In the half-second control gap left, the other party showed no tendency to escape.

So this has become a mechanical process of simply cutting a blood bar that is "too long but will not resist" to the end.

In this regard, Mr. Jushi may have something to say——

hell!It's not like I won't resist!I resisted fiercely!The psychic attack I unleashed was enough to hallucinate a creature the size of a house!

Hmm... Riemann can only say to this, who made you meet a hunter with [brain calming technique]?

After the boring mechanical work, the blood strips of the super-large stone bottomed out. It gradually cracked from the surface and broke into pieces. Riemann seemed to be able to see an undigested fish...

He tried his best to resist the urge to close his eyes, and searched for the whereabouts of the "spiritual fruit" that should belong to him in the mess. If he remembers correctly, this fruit can be used to change the attributes of the meow beast. But the premise is that he has to find another space fruit, so that it can be changed back to the space attribute when needed.

"found it……"

Riemann used two teleports back and forth to get what he needed from the pile of corpses.

Riemann glanced at the system prompt that kept jumping from the start of the kill.

Tips for killing experience.

Upgrade prompt [current level 32].

Get item hints.

New bounty task reminder.

……

Um?and many more.

New reward task reminder?

Riemann fell back and clicked on it.

[Reward mission (expired): The Forbidden Magic Mage in Xueyuan is in great danger, please go to save them. 】

[Possible rewards: experience, silver coins, and the friendship of the Snowfield Forbidden Curse Mage. 】

Riemann: ……………

"I really have to wait for you to send the task. The day lily is cold!"

"Can't you send me a task that hasn't started yet next time?!"

I don't know if it was because he yelled too loudly, the game system interface that has been stable (?) suddenly trembled twice.

Riemann:?

He felt that this scene looked a bit weird, as if this system was conscious... Although most systems these days are conscious, shouldn't this kind of system usually be chattering from the very beginning?

Riemann felt that this adjective might be a bit strange, but he really felt that the system had replaced the expired bounty mission with a "tremble" and put a new one on it.

[Reward Mission: Rescue Forbidden Curse Mage]

Riemann was a little helpless, he... calmed down his tone (for fear of scaring him again and wondering whether there is a conscious system): "Honey, it's not that you can turn back time by changing its name... Huh? "

Riemann clicked on the specific description of this task and was stunned.

[Reward Mission: Rescue Forbidden Curse Mage]

[In the distant past, there used to be a group of forbidden curse mages in the world openly. Most people thought that after the God of Light won the victory and the minions of the Holy See spread all over the continent, those forbidden curse mages had disappeared.This is actually a wrong perception. They still exist somewhere, at a certain time, waiting to see the light of day again. 】

[Pre-task: Find a connector]

[In a certain corner of the continent, there is the only free Forbidden Curse Mage who has survived the great war. Find him, and you will know what to do next. 】

Riemann was stunned for a while, and then he drove the glass box upwards... Forget it, before making two strokes, he decisively took the "submarine" back into the system, and he tore through the teleportation array and returned to the shore.

Back on the ground, he re-read the mission description.

Is it a Forbidden Curse Mage who has lived from the Age of Gods to the present... He is a little unsure whether he should follow the quest requirements, and always feels that the danger is extremely high.

But... From another perspective, what is this system?

Riemann actually thought about this problem from the very beginning, but the system behaved very...simple, it looked like a very pure cheat in an online novel, it was still a little outdated, and the game system was also very... game, so Riemann gradually let go of this problem.

After that, there will be intermittent times of confusion. For example, when the reward mission failed last time, he was thinking about what the failure meant. However, without any clues, any thinking is just a wild guess, so he Didn't spend much time on this issue.

But Riemann felt that maybe... now this mission is the clue.

Looking at the system's arrangement for him, he became a Forbidden Curse Mage, rescued the Xueyuan Forbidden Curse Mage (although the task came a bit late, but the position was still very clear), and finally saved the Forbidden Curse Mage.

And this time there are pre-tasks, which are different from every time before.

So from a "non-game" point of view, the system seems to want to gradually cultivate his sense of identity with the Forbidden Curse Mage, at the same time improve his strength, and finally complete the ultimate goal - to save the Forbidden Curse Mage of the Gods.

So this system... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a self-help method left by the Forbidden Curse Mage of the Gods, right?

Trapped by themselves, they can only cast a golden finger to train someone who can save them, which sounds reasonable.

Well, if this is the case, Riemann feels that no matter whether it is dangerous or not, at least he should not avoid this task. After all, he has taken the golden finger for so long...

Whether it's out of gratitude or something else, it's time to complete the commission.

But he also didn't want to contact a "forbidden spell mage left over from the age of gods" rashly, which sounds a bit dangerous.

But... let him get on with it.

First of all, before the completion of the rescue mission, no matter what attitude the other party has towards him, he should not want to suddenly take away the system or harm him. After all, his strength is related to the success rate of the rescue plan. Give him a certain amount of buffer time.

Secondly, although the task does not say where the people to be saved are or what their strength is... But this sounds like a difficult task to fight against the whole world, and his current strength is not enough to fight against the entire Holy See, that is, assuming he completes After completing the first part of this mission and finding a linker, the other party will either give him lessons, train him, let him upgrade, or push him out, and then upgrade, it seems... It seems that there is no change in what he has to do ?Even the purpose has not changed, to overthrow the Holy See...

And at least now I know that the system may be a gift from others (the kind that comes with a request for reward), and I also know the essence of magic, and know how to really learn magic, so prepare in advance and gradually increase the combat power of your own magic The proportion in the middle seems to be a good thing?

Finally, the top strength of the Holy See is only the "false four rings", and this rescue task still has to be left to him, an outsider, so these people who survived the Age of Gods, no matter what their original strength is, should now be subject to all kinds of help. With such restrictions, he shouldn't be too dangerous, at least he can definitely run away.

Riemann thought about it back and forth, and finally he decided to meet this "connector".

He must at least know what the truth is.

Of course, if the connector looks very unfriendly, he will take a look, and then come back and continue to upgrade...

After making a decision, Riemann turned his attention to the task list again, which contained a specific description of the task of "Finding a Connector".

There is now an additional task item in his backpack, called [Treasure], Riemann took it out from the system, it was a silver necklace, the pendant was a circle, a simple circle, it looked very simple.

[Token: With it, you can find the location of the connector. 】

Riemann looked at it for a while, and the system thoughtfully gave a virtual use button.

[It is too far away from the target and cannot be used. 】

[It is too far away from the target and cannot be used. 】

Riemann: ...

"...Listen, I don't know what game you are learning planning from, but this kind of mission process that makes people have brain hemorrhage really doesn't need to be learned."

There is no movement in the system.

It was only after a while that another prompt popped up.

[It is too far away from the target and cannot be used. 】

Riemann: ...All right.

He took out a continental map and a pen from his backpack, and quickly drew horizontal and vertical lines on it, dividing it into a hundred small grids.

"Let me come to the head office one by one."

……

"Hi, Pound."

"Hi, Breminger." Pound said hello to Breminger dryly and reluctantly.

"I'm coming, so when are we leaving."

Breminger received a message from Pound a few hours ago, saying that he had found Iserveld's whereabouts, but he was a bit busy at the time, so he delayed coming over for a while.

"What are you going to do? The Holy Land has a new order, let me take someone to join the Holy Son to investigate the abyss."

"What mutation? Where is it?" Breminger was a little at a loss.

"Ulan, Battery County, the suburbs."

"? Where is this place?"

"No one knows what the hell it is. My only impression of this county is that our Mr. Traitor, Riemann Iserveld, was born there."

"Sounds good, we can complete your hunt by the way."

Pound glared at him bitterly: "Obviously, it's not by the way. If our Mr. Traitor is willing to go back to his hometown so that I can kill him while going to the crack in the abyss, then I'd be very grateful." He could have chosen this common choice, this easy-to-understand choice, this sounded very easy choice, but he chose not to, but ran to a place like Lake Cromwell."

"Oh my God, Lake Cromwell? I didn't know people could live in this place."

"Forget it, let's talk about it another day, I have to go to Wulang now."

……

Riemann has gone through fifty of the one hundred grids.

To be honest, except for the first time he used it, he had never fainted from the teleportation scroll, but when No. 20 was teleported more than once, he felt that he also fainted from this thing.

He went back to the Dark Forest to sleep, and by the way provided some food for the three Iservelds who were not used to leaving the noble life, and then tried the Dark Forest to see if the "connector" might be there. Obviously not, so he teleported to the next grid in the plan.

"Fifty more..."

"Maybe I shouldn't do this task deliberately... I can carry this token with me, and remember to use it from time to time when I upgrade everywhere?"

"What if I tried all the [-] grids and still can't get a reply other than [too far away from the target]?"

"Isn't this fucking impossible? Although a hundred grids have already divided the map very finely, what if the range of use of this token is smaller than this?"

The more Riemann thought about it, the more he felt that there was no need to persist. Maybe he should go back and continue his "ecological observation"...

He "used" the [token] again without hope.

But this time, he didn't wait for the familiar [too far from the target to use], the silver round pendant began to flash, a very dim light, but it was indeed flickering, and the thin ray of light began to move in a certain direction spread.

Riemann glanced at the map.

He is not familiar with the scenery of this place, he has never seen this mountain, but this place name is indeed all too familiar to him.

Bartley County.
