WTYTIAAN Chapter 103

Chapter 103

As Yan Yunqing exited the dungeon, the entire Mandipell collapsed, this decadent and extravagant underground kingdom was permanently buried beneath the earth.

The entrance to the dungeon “Sins of Mandipell” appeared above the ruins, with two modes: Exploration Mode and Timed Challenge.

At the same time, the rewards for completing both dungeons were calculated. Yan Yunqing completed the Exploration Dungeon alone, maximizing the rewards. The Timed Challenge seemed to give him an assist for a shared kill, but because the boss’s level was very high, the reward was also very substantial.

The rewards from the two dungeons in one go directly boosted Yan Yunqing from level 45 to level 53.

This experience reward was exaggerated, after all, the higher the level, the more experience required to level up, all exponentially increasing.

Yan Yunqing’s inventory was stacked with several blueprint boxes, but this time he didn’t get a second golden blueprint, which was a bit of a pity.

After all, the previous golden blueprint, the Portable Anchor Point, was very useful. It could be said to be his tool for causing trouble, if only the number of uses and duration could be increased a little.

Just as Yan Yunqing finished regretting, he found that this dungeon dropped a skill book.

Yan Yunqing:?

[Midas Touch]

Description: After using the skill, you can turn any unit into gold by touching it. The duration depends on the MP consumed and the target’s level. There is a certain chance of decreasing your own will and suffering backlash. ‘Make a deal with the false god Morgan, this is the price!’

This description…

Could it turn living things into gold too?

Yan Yunqing’s eyes lit up. Although it seemed like a useless skill, only turning things into gold blocks, he had enough gold coins in his inventory to last him a long time. Just turning things into gold blocks was indeed a bit redundant.

But thinking about it another way, since this skill could turn living things into gold, it could be used as an alternative petrification skill. In battle, even 1 second of petrification could bring new opportunities to the situation.

The downside was that using it might decrease his will, making it a skill that depended on luck and couldn’t be used brainlessly.

However, this skill didn’t require too many skill points to learn, which made Yan Yunqing very satisfied. He directly spent the skill points he got from leveling up to learn this skill.

Not choosing to open the blueprint boxes he got from the dungeon now, Yan Yunqing opened the quest list. The quests related to the Children’s Troupe were basically completed. Only the Black Serpent Mercenary Group remained to be dealt with. This was simple; he just needed to follow the mini-map’s location hints to solve them one by one.

After settling all the completed quests, Yan Yunqing’s level jumped up again, and he was just a tiny bit away from leveling up again. He estimated that completing [Annihilate the Black Serpent Mercenary Group] would be enough.

It was just a pity that [Become the Ultimate ‘Midas Touch’] was probably impossible to complete… Huh?

Yan Yunqing was surprised to find that the entrance exam quest for the Sigrit Academy was marked as completed? What was going on? He hadn’t even finished the competition. How was this quest completed?

Clicking on the quest details, Yan Yunqing looked left and right, but couldn’t figure out why he had completed the quest. Yan Yunqing stretched out his right hand, pulling up his sleeve a little, revealing the countdown icon on his wrist.

’49 days’

Right, after completing this entrance exam, he also had to return to Sigrit Academy within the specified time to be officially accepted.

There was still more than a month left. Based on the time it took him to come to Freedom City, this 49 days was more than enough to return to Sigrit Academy.

This was truly a pleasant surprise. Although he didn’t know how the quest was completed, as long as his goal was achieved.

Subtle footsteps came from behind. Yan Yunqing turned around, and Divik walked over with the Chi Bone Sword that had been placed in the display case.

Yan Yunqing’s gaze fell on the Chi Bone Sword, and he remembered what Merlin said, that the missing little dragon could be said to have been raised by Divik himself. He opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

It seemed like nothing he could say now would be useful.

Any parent who discovered that the child they raised had suffered such treatment would want to tear the culprit into a million pieces.

Divik and Isabel had indeed done so.

As if seeing what Yan Yunqing was thinking, Divik said in a low voice, “It’s not.”

Yan Yunqing: “Huh?”

Yan Yunqing blinked, not understanding.

“It’s not Amos’s aura.” Divik handed the Chi Bone Sword in his hand to Yan Yunqing. “It is indeed Bright Dragon Bone, but this is bone taken from another adult dragon, not Amos’s.”

Amos was the little dragon that Isabel and Divik were looking for.

This time Yan Yunqing understood. He reached out to take the Chi Bone Sword, but Divik turned his wrist and took the Chi Bone Sword back.

Yan Yunqing:?

Divik was calm and composed, pretending not to see Yan Yunqing’s actions.

Yan Yunqing almost laughed out of anger, and didn’t argue with Divik about it. He took the previous topic and comforted him, “It’s good that it’s not Amos’s, at least no news is the best news now.”

News meant that Amos was already dead and had his bones stripped to make weapons. No news meant that he might still be alive.

As for this Chi Bone Sword also being made of Bright Dragon Bone, for Divik and Isabel, they might also be angry that their clansmen were hunted, but they weren’t as angry as they were about Amos’s disappearance.

Originally, the Dragon Clan respected the strong. If you weren’t strong enough and died in someone else’s hands, you could only blame your own lack of strength.

Generally, if someone openly challenged a Dragon Clan member and accidentally killed the other party, the Dragon Clan wouldn’t retaliate on a large scale.

But harming young dragons was never allowed. Similarly, those who used conspiracies and tricks to hunt dragons would be remembered by the short-tempered dragons, and they would be hunted down and retaliated against all over the world.

Divik nodded silently, and the two were speechless for a while.

“…Where will the king go next?”

Divik knew that Yan Yunqing could never return to Dragon Valley with him, but he still couldn’t help but look forward to that answer.

“Um…” Yan Yunqing hesitated, but still told Divik, “I’m going to Sigrit Academy. I should spend some time there. What about you? Continue to look for Amos?”

Divik opened his mouth, originally wanting to say “Then I’ll go to Sigrit too,” but stopped when he heard Yan Yunqing’s words. He did have to go find Amos. At least he had a share of the responsibility for the little dragon’s disappearance. Whether Amos was dead or alive, he had to find him.

Divik’s brows furrowed tightly, and he struggled between the two options, “I…”

“Alright, go find Amos.” Yan Yunqing said helplessly, “What are you hesitating about? Even if you want to come, what identity would you use to enter the academy? Teacher? Or student?”

Divik blinked, “Honorary professor.”

“Honorary professor?” Yan Yunqing smiled, and was about to say what kind of honorary professor you were at Sigrit Academy, when he saw Divik’s serious expression, Yan Yunqing froze.

“…Are you really?”

Divik nodded, “I am.”

He tilted his head, “Sigrit Academy was created by Merlin. At the beginning of its creation, Isabel and I both became honorary professors. Isabel even taught Ancient Dragon Language there before. I just held the title.”

Yan Yunqing:…

Yan Yunqing:???

“Sigrit was built by Merlin?!” Yan Yunqing was stunned. “So the first principal was Merlin?”

Divik didn’t understand, but nodded silently.

He came to Freedom City because the magic crystal chose the exam question for him, and that magic crystal was left by Merlin, and then he met Merlin here.

Was there really such a coincidence?

The corners of Yan Yunqing’s mouth twitched. He felt that it was the Dragon King Temple being flooded, and his own people didn’t recognize their own. Knowing that Merlin was the first principal, would he still need to painstakingly run here to become some kind of Midas Touch? Directly…

That wouldn’t work either. In the eyes of the world, Merlin had long died. Suddenly popping up to open the back door for a student to enter the school sounded so unreliable.

Yan Yunqing supported his forehead.

He really suspected that the magic crystal had wisdom, knew that Merlin was here, and deliberately led him to Freedom City.

Magic Crystal: Innocent. JPG

“Where are Merlin and Isabel?” Yan Yunqing hadn’t seen the two figures for a long time, and asked.

Divik’s expression was unnatural for a moment, and his voice was dry: “Isabel has something to do, and Merlin accompanied her to leave first.”

Yan Yunqing was suspicious: “Really?”

Isabel had said before that she wanted to “catch up” with him, how could she run away after the matter was resolved, didn’t she want to catch up with him?

“…Really.”

Divik lowered his head.

Anyway, Yan Yunqing believed it.

Anyway, catching up with Isabel meant he would be beaten up, so it was good to escape a beating.

Yan Yunqing raised his head, looking at the moon that slowly revealed a corner from the dark clouds, slowly exhaling, thinking of what had happened in the past few days, the front was full of dangers, and his spirit had been tense. Now that everything was over, he could finally relax a little.

“Let’s go, accompany me to kill a few people.”

Yan Yunqing decided to kill a few Black Serpents to help him relax, and he could go back sooner if he completed the task earlier.

Divik obediently followed Yan Yunqing.

…

Not far away, Isabel and Merlin were hiding behind the ruins, sneaking around.

“Is your method really useful?” Isabel was a little skeptical.

“Guaranteed.” Merlin gave a thumbs up, “Nolan is just an easy softie, let Divik sell him a sob story, and Nolan will definitely let him stay by his side.”

“If he can stay by his side, are you afraid that no feelings will develop?” Merlin didn’t know when he had changed back to his handsome young man’s appearance, inching closer to Isabel, his fingers fidgeting. Just as he touched the back of Isabel’s hand, Isabel stood up.

“They’re gone, keep up, keep up.”

Isabel grabbed Merlin’s wrist with her backhand and pulled him forward, “To be honest, I don’t think Divik’s brain is able to sell a sob story successfully.”

The brains of the Dragon Clan seemed to have been ironed, smooth and incredible, where would they have these twists and turns?

Seeing that Merlin next to her wasn’t speaking, Isabel nudged the person next to her with an elbow, “I’m talking to you, what are you pretending to be mute for?”

Merlin sucked in a breath of cold air and replied aggrievedly, “I’m not pretending to be mute.”

He just wanted to hold hands, why was it so difficult? They were an old married couple, living more plainly than when they first started dating.

“Anyway, let’s see what they’re going to do next.”

Then Merlin and Isabel witnessed Yan Yunqing and Divik taking advantage of the dark night to break into a hotel, and the whole process of killing many people with quick strikes.

Merlin & Isabel:?

Isabel poked Merlin again, “Is this the method of developing feelings over time that you said? Kill people together for fun?”

Merlin: “…I don’t know?”

The method he came up with for Divik wasn’t this, ah? Why did they suddenly run to kill people? Were these two murderers? They had just killed so many people, and finally solved the filthy monster, and now they ran over to kill people again?

Isabel touched her chin, “Nolan and Divik must have their reasons for killing these people, should I go up and help too?”

Merlin: No?

Looking at Isabel’s eager expression, Merlin’s body stiffened.

Oops, he forgot that the one next to him was also a murderer!

Just as Merlin was about to reach out and grab Isabel, Isabel had already rushed out, holding up her heavy sword and joining the battlefield, leaving Merlin standing in place silently withdrawing his hand.

He sighed long and pulled out his magic wand.
