In the battle for the ancient stele, the mages of various countries had internal strife, and not everyone had died. Mages, after all, had a strange setting called "if you can't win, you can run." They could leave the battlefield with a teleport. Kylana was also one of the battle mages who was injured and left the battlefield, along with most of her loyal subordinates.
Logically speaking, even if the Zombie Prince didn't die, he might not be able to do anything to Kylana in the future.
But Tang Shidao didn't want to gamble.
There was only one chance for the mission. The safer Lui Ah and Kylana were, the more secure the mission would be.
Similarly.
Tang Shidao changed his mind.
Suddenly, Tang Shidao felt that the mission wasn't too important. Lui Ah had turned from a playboy to a main character. First, because of his extraordinary talent, and second, because of his wisdom and willpower. Especially in the battle for the ancient stele. It could be said that Tang Shidao felt that he would "accept" this gift and gamble on whether he could defeat the Golden Horned Demon in five years.
But Lui Ah didn't do that. He didn't want to gamble. He wanted to be 100% sure.
At first glance.
Weren't you being a coward?
Yes, you could say that Lui Ah was a coward. But, other than the illegitimate child of the Goddess of Luck, no one could succeed by "gambling on luck." A true winner wasn't like a main character in a life who could reach the pinnacle of life with a shake of the tiger body and the aura of a king. A true winner was a combination of intelligence, strength, and luck.
In essence, Lui Ah's choice was the best choice.
Compare again.
Tang Shidao didn't take his own strength into account. Just by comparing in terms of academics, cultivation, intelligence, and management … he couldn't compare to Lui Ah! He was confident that he could compare to Lui Ah in terms of refining, but when it came to the application and research of summoning spells, sorry. They had both been in the magic academy for a few years, but he really couldn't compare to Lui Ah.
There was a more important point.
Lui Ah was more like a main character in a life than him. He had more goals, was more tenacious, more aggressive, and had more brains and ideas.
Therefore.
Tang Shidao felt that the mission wasn't as important as Lui Ah himself.
This was a digitalized reconstruction, and also a reconstruction of Lui Ah's life. In other words, Lui Ah could personally demonstrate and guide him on how to become a true main character in a life. This life experience was more important than the result of the mission … Tang Shidao did not lack power or unique spells, but he lacked the essence of self-improvement.
From now on.
Tang Shidao felt that he had to imitate Lu 'a's character. He wanted to understand him, learn from him, and absorb the essence of his life experiences.
Then, he would continuously temper himself and improve himself.
During the mission, Tang Shidao could not use Soul Painting, but he still felt that Lü Ah was a more perfect painting than himself. In a sense, Lü Ah was close to a perfect soul.
"Tang, it's good that you're safe. There are some things … that I can't say. Do you trust me? "
"Of course, Lü. You told me something as important as the Demon Contract. How could I not trust you? Alright, if there's something you can't tell me, please don't say it. Similarly, I also have some things that I can't tell you. I hope you can understand. "Tang Shidao gave him another thumbs up. Lu 'a needed friends, but he needed to hide the matter of the ancient stone tablet.
The Ancient Stone Tablet was Lu Ah's only hope to turn things around. He could grit his teeth and endure for five years. Naturally, he didn't want to increase the chances of failure because of himself.
As the protagonist of his life, he only chose to do things 100% of the way.
"I understand. Thank you for your understanding, Tang. Wait for me for a while longer. I promise, I'll tell you everything. "
"Mm."
The two of them shook hands and worked together again.
Because of this turmoil, the strength of the surrounding countries was greatly reduced. The military strength of the White Bone Wilderness decreased, and Lu 'a's business expanded. At this time, an unexpected piece of news came: when the countries were weak, a group of Death Order that had been in hiding for a long time appeared. They started to attack cities and seize territories, expanding without restraint.
Tang Shidao instantly thought of the Zombie Prince.
He probably had a very deep relationship with the Death Order.
The rebellion started.
Female General Kirana naturally became an active figure on the battlefield. Everything seemed to have returned to square one. What was even more surprising was that Lu 'a once again displayed his extraordinary methods. Some time ago, Lu 'a established his own mercenary group. This time, he directly let the mercenaries join the King's Army and participate in the crusade against the Death Order.
During this period, Lu 'a continuously established his own small forces.
He was very scattered.
He placed a little bit of his forces in each city, and didn't attract any attention at all.
In addition to setting up his forces, Lu 'a also worked hard to research summoning spells. At first, he lagged behind Tang Shidao, but he slowly caught up to him, and slowly surpassed him. In the end, Tang Shidao could only see his back. The older generation of summoners lived up to their reputation. Just like Succubus Lan Ji and the others who specialized in offensive spells, Lu 'a's summoning skills were also far superior to Tang Shidao, who had just started out.
"Tang, I'm sorry to make you do these basic theories again." Lu 'a became busy. Tang Shidao became an intern, experimenting according to his ideas.
"It's okay, I only know how to research anyway."
Tang Shidao didn't care.
Really.
When it came to academics, he was far inferior to Lu 'a. When it came to strength … he could kill him with one slap.
Before the first decade arrived.
Tang Shidao only did one thing: study hard and slowly catch up to Lu 'a's footsteps.
When the Golden Horned Demon came to collect taxes.
Tang Shidao estimated that if Lu 'a's academic research was a 10, he could only catch up to a 6 at most. After paying the contract's power, Lu 'a's power directly decreased by more than half. The Golden Horned Demon followed Tang Shidao's instructions and taught Lu 'a a lesson. In the end, when the Golden Horned Demon left, Lu 'a also found an excuse to leave.
He found the ancient stone tablet that he had hidden for five years, absorbed the power on it, and obtained the knowledge on it.
And then.
Lu 'a's life was like a rocket attached to a rocket. He spent most of his time on cultivation, and only a small amount of time on academic research with Tang Shidao. At this time, Tang Shidao discovered another thing: Lu 'a's cultivation talent wasn't that great. If his research level was a 10, his cultivation level wouldn't exceed 7.
In the first two years of hard work, Lu 'a basically absorbed and controlled the ancient stone tablet's power.
The third year.
Just as Lu 'a was full of confidence and was preparing to show off his skills, he encountered the first crisis of his life. In his previous setup, those small mercenary groups that were scattered and widely spread, because of the war, gained a huge amount of power.
When Lu 'a gathered them, these people decided … to kill Lu' a!
They didn't need a master anymore.
They wanted to be independent.
"Tang, am I ugly now?" Of course, Lu 'a won. Being plotted against by the mercenaries wouldn't kill a main character in life.
"A little."
"Tang, thank you for not betraying me. It doesn't matter. Now I understand something. "
"What is it?" Tang Shidao nodded and said.
"You can't trust a person completely. You can't trust a life form that can think completely. Only summoned beasts, only summoned beasts formed by magic, are absolutely loyal. "
"Mm." Tang Shidao once again experienced what it meant to be a main character in life.
This kind of person wouldn't be defeated.
Every time he miscalculated, he would grow once. Every time his skin was injured, he would transform into a tougher armor.
A person who lost and felt sorry for himself wasn't a main character in life.
A person who learned from failure was a main character in life.
Seeing the light in Lu 'a's eyes, Tang Shidao knew that he was "determined" to study summoning spells. For the sake of the mission, he still mentioned, "Lu, everyone knows that you like Qi Lana. The mercenaries didn't kill you, but will they do something to her? "
Lu 'a was stunned.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Tang, I know that everyone has secrets. It's too late for me to inform Qi Lana now. Do you have a way to inform her? "
Tang Shidao nodded. "Yes, but do you trust me?"
Lu 'a also nodded. "I've obtained some kind of mysterious power, but I still can't see through your true strength. I think you're probably stronger than me. If you want to harm me, you have tens of thousands of chances. So, I trust you. Please help me inform Qi Lana. "
Tang Shidao summoned a crow and let it fly. He asked again, "Lu, don't you doubt me?"
Lu 'a smiled. "No. If you were weaker than me, I would doubt you, but you're much stronger than me. I don't have to worry. In the world of mages, whoever is stronger is right. I'm just curious, Tang, what do you want from me? "
Tang Shidao didn't reveal the plot. "Lu, I can't enter the Holy Land, but someone said you can. I'm curious how you can do it. I need to learn from you. "
Lu 'a was stunned, then smiled. "I understand. If I can enter the Holy Land, I'll do my best to help you achieve your wish. "
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. We're friends, Tang. Now we are, and always will be. "
To Lu 'a, Tang Shidao's reason was perfect.
It was normal for a mage to learn from another mage. Even if the former was stronger than the latter, there were many types of mages' abilities. For example, a master alchemist might not be as good as a scroll apprentice. A mage wouldn't think that someone wasn't a friend just because they wanted to learn. No, it wasn't like that.
The more mages could share with each other, the more they could be called friends.
If they kept asking, they wouldn't be friends.
Tang Shidao sent out the notice, and Qi Lana successfully escaped. Because of the information provided by Lu 'a, Qi Lana also removed these mercenary pawns one by one, seizing their resources and strength to strengthen her own army.
Things were back on track once again.
At this time.
Tang Shidao and Lu 'a became strategic partners. Tang Shidao asked Lu 'a for advice on academic matters, and Lu' a asked Tang Shidao for advice on cultivation. The two complemented each other, and both of them improved qualitatively. When the second decade came, Lu 'a gave up on his previous plan and decided to fight the Golden Horned Demon alone. Tang Shidao didn't object, of course. He knew that Lu 'a would win.
As expected.
Lu 'a killed the Golden Horned Demon, and Tang Shidao secretly abandoned the contract, letting everything return to normal.
At this point, Lu 'a was relieved.
Only then was Lu Ah truly relieved. After that, he shared with Tang Shidao what he learned from the Ancient Stone Tablet. It could be said that he wouldn't do this before he broke free from the demon contract, because his plan was to succeed. No matter how good his relationship with Tang Shidao was, he would still insist on the concept of 'never making a mistake'.
His will was as strong as iron. This was the kind of person.
Tang Shidao didn't take the risk, and easily obtained the ancient stone tablet's summoning experience, as well as Lu 'a's own interpretation. Originally, he could have taken a gamble 15 years ago, but now, he had '100%' of it in his hands.
After studying these materials, Tang Shidao discovered that there were no clues to the Sole Spell.
The mission was still not completed.
Was it the wedding?
Tang Shidao didn't think so. At this point, the mission wasn't as superficial as it seemed. After that, Lu 'a cultivated and developed his forces, while Tang Shidao was engrossed in studying the summoning experience. Two years later, which was the 22nd year since he came here … the Void Rift suddenly opened.
More importantly.
Kylana was kidnapped by an unknown beast in the Void in order to stop the invasion.
"I have to save her, Tang. She's my everything."
"I know."
"I can't let you come with me. The Void is too dangerous."
"I understand. This Invisible Ghost Crow is for you. It can't help you much, but it can scout the way. It's very weak, and might be killed in two or three hits. I'll stay here and continue to cultivate. I hope you can save your sweetheart. "Tang Shidao gave out an Invisible Ghost Crow, and sighed in his heart. The ending still returned to this plot.
Without a doubt, this was the real original plot.
This was Lu 'a's path to becoming the main character in his life, another even more glorious story.
Tang Shidao just didn't understand.
What about the mission?
