Quick Wear: When the Villain Holds the Strategy Script

After waiting for a while, the guardian finally left the vicinity, and the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yuzhi was not a prophet, he just knew this place and deliberately lured the dragon to appear, used its wings to blow away the gray fog, and then used Chi Jibai to enter here.

So, this was also his first time coming to this place.

There was a thoughtful look in those light golden eyes.

He seemed to hear a little bit of the guardian's whisper -

[The Empire... is destroyed... Your Highness...]

"I have been to the largest library in Saint Celia before and learned some things. Before the temple was built, every legendary figure had his own palace. Among them were people who specialized in holding lanterns, called 'Lamp Attendants'.

Anyone who can become a legendary NPC's guard must be absolutely loyal. He had been patrolling this road during his lifetime, and now after his death and turning into a soul, he is unwilling to leave.

As long as we stay within the guardians' sight and are careful, we might be able to sneak in.

The people holding lanterns here are so strong, the people who lived here before must have been extraordinary."

Shen Yuzhi spoke a mixture of half truths and half lies, then turned his head and glanced at Chi Jibai with a hint of blame in his eyes. However, he was stunned when he met Chi Jibai's gaze.

There was a calmness in Chi Jibai's eyes, but Shen Yuzhi caught a glimpse of subtle panic, which disappeared in a flash.

The two of them were very close. Chi Jibai was taller than Shen Yuzhi, so Shen Yuzhi could even hear his heartbeat beating against his eardrums. His breathing was a little faster than before, and his breath was warm.

Shen Yuzhi:?

A lamp servant scared you like this?

On second thought, Shen Yuzhi felt that it made sense. Normally, even if other high-ranking officials of the temple wanted to find him, they would have to look for him based on his mood. Even if it was the priests and the Pope, "Flame Master" would act arrogantly and never look at their expressions.

But Chi Jibai is only a level 14 player now, and facing the powerful Lantern Servant, he is inevitably nervous.

Chi Jibai didn't explain and quickly distanced himself after confirming it was safe.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Chi Jibai said hurriedly and walked quickly towards the hall, but he stopped halfway and looked back to see if Shen Yuzhi was following him. Then he continued to move forward, but he kept a distance from Shen Yuzhi.

When the distance is closer, he walks faster, and when the distance is farther, he slows down.

Shen Yuzhi didn't notice anything wrong, after all, he was busy exploring the place.

He has not yet set foot in the world of nothingness.

With Shen Yuzhi's talent of "seeking benefits and avoiding harm", it was easy to avoid these guardians, and the two of them quickly entered the interior.

The magic stones scattered here... no, they can be called magic ice crystals. When they grow together in clusters and emit light, they are like roses blooming around the wall.

A great saint sorcerer once lived here. Shen Yuzhi followed Chi Jibai and quietly dismantled all the magic traps set up here.

That’s right, a bunch of them. Almost every two steps you take trigger the magic mechanism. No wonder there are no servants here.

The owner here is... um...

Extremely vigilant.

Most of the advanced traps here are no different from the spells in the temple. As a high-ranking member of the Arcane Association and a "traitor" in the temple, Shen Yuzhi is adept at handling these.

But when dealing with the 78th magic trap, Shen Yuzhi frowned slightly.

This trap doesn't seem like something that the people in the temple could make. It's very evil.

Winding up the stairs, Shen Yuzhi felt a little numb. Even a book, a pen, or even a manuscript scattered on the ground had magic traps.

How free are you?

If these traps were triggered at the same time, the magical power accumulated by the huge number would be enough to make Shen Yuzhi go to the resurrection point.

A legendary NPC took great pains to set up these traps in the past, and Shen Yuzhi unleashed them one by one to protect Chi Jibai. Two characters from different eras actually started to compete with each other in this way.

Finally, Chi Jibai discovered something.

A notebook.

They both opened it.

[September 2, sunny.]

Ryan and Dinar are both idiots! They are talking about the best wizards in the empire. I think they must have learned magic and become stupid. No wonder they are bald. I can't play with them anymore.

It just so happens that they are the instructors in the palace. It seems that the old king is reluctant to spend money to hire good ones for me.

【August 3, cloudy.】

Today I went to see a speech by a holy sorcerer, who is said to be a talented holy sorcerer of the empire. I had an average feeling about him. I regretted again that I seemed to have chosen the wrong career. There is no future in being a priest.

By the way, becoming a holy magician in my thirties is nothing compared to being a genius. If I succeeded in advancing to the next level at the age of thirty, I might as well go find a personal knight and a sword to hang myself.

【March 3, rain.】

My teacher said I already have the ability to advance, but the Empire requires that you must be at least ten years old to advance. Who on earth designed this rule? I'm still two years away from my tenth birthday.

My teacher said I was a genius of the empire. What's the point of being a genius? Don't you have to follow the rules? Can't geniuses get a backdoor? Am I not a prince? Why don't I have any privileges? Maybe I am not a biological child.

[September 1, sunny.]

Finally, my tenth birthday came and I advanced to become a holy magician. The options for priests to advance were too few. Why were there fewer options than other professions? But my teacher comforted me, saying that the road ahead was opened up, and maybe I could find another way.

(Torn off)

[The empire is in chaos. I want to go out and see what's going on, but my teacher won't let me. I can't see my parents either, so I'm trapped in the tower.]

[The empire is gone... Father, mother, teacher... all dead... all dead... why are you rebelling... Father has never done anything to let you down...]

Seeing this, they knew something was wrong. Shen Yuzhi looked up and exchanged glances with Chi Jibai, and both realized something was unusual.

Judging from the diary, the former owner of this place was truly a genius. He reached the threshold of a holy magician at the age of eight. Apart from being a little arrogant, he had no other shortcomings.

But where does the idea of ​​an empire come from?

The nine countries affiliated with the temple can only call themselves "kingdoms", and none of them is bold enough to call themselves "empires". Could it be that this prince from an unknown country wrote it wrong?

Chi Jibai looked at Shen Yuzhi first. After all, he had said before that he had been to the largest library in Saint Cilia.

Shen Yuzhi shook his head.

"No country dares to call itself an empire under the eyes of the temple. Either the owner of the diary is young and ignorant and made a mistake, unless——"

He paused, and his light golden eyes met Chi Jibai's. The light from the magic crystal in the hall cast a halo on him, making his eyes look even more dim.

"Unless it was before the temple appeared."

Shen Yuzhi was not bragging. Although he had not read the books in Saint Celia, the collection in the temple was the most complete. With his photographic memory, it was no problem for him to say "I have memorized it all".

The temple has existed for quite a long time, and during this time, it has remained standing despite the changes in power in the kingdom.
