he passage of time has left indelible marks on its wooden walls.However, the inside of this seemingly forgotten building was teeming with life. Various noises echoed from within—laughter, shouts, roa...Chapter 173: Lan Qi Discovered the Great Love Poet's Obsession

He was still on the second-floor corridor, about to return to the sanctuary to look for Huberlian and Frey's ranch. As he watched the castle scenery gradually dissolve, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Oh, looks like I won't have to walk after all."

As the castle walls gradually faded, the dawn's light at its peak was suddenly replaced by an abyss of darkness.

In the blink of an eye, Lynch found himself inside a transparent cabin enveloped by a seemingly eternal starry sky.

Only a few stars glimmered sparsely, like telling tales of millennia, sparkling brightly. And there were Frey and Huberlian as well, bringing light to their vision that was enough to see the scene before them.

This is a wondrous space where the real world and the shadow world intertwine, forming a liminal boundary.

Not far away, on the transparent barrier, a spreading crack appeared silently. A few strands of serene purple light spilled out from the fissure. Shortly after, as long as they passed through this small void gate, they could return to the real world, back to the familiar Ectereth school life.

But the settlement of the shadow world has not yet appeared for the time being.

After their last experience, Lance and Huberlian were certain that if there were too many out-of-mechanics situations during the real Shadow World challenge, the Shadow World settlement process would take a little longer.

I don't know how long this meeting will take.

Laney smiled at Huberlian and Frey, ready to chat with them.

"This time, our rewards shouldn't be bad either."

Lanche confidently assured the two of them.

"After all, it was a sacrifice of merit points for brushing up the rating..."

Huberlian covered her cheeks, and Lanci had her personally activate the Solar Energy Merit Machine several times to make her reward this time even better.

Although she was grateful to Lance, the longer she stayed with him, the more she realized that even if she tried, she couldn't go back to being human.

"I'm getting a little excited."

All the magic cards on Frey's possession were given to him by his teacher, the Headmaster of the Knight Academy, Sphento. However, he has only been given cards up to the purple rarity level so far.

As soon as Freya thought about the possibility of earning her first pink sacred or even orange epic-grade magic card, she had a delightful dilemma—

Should I use it myself, or sell it and take a gamble

"Frey, if you got your hands on a top-tier magic card that suited you and then sold it, I think Dean Sphynx wouldn't let you off the hook..."

Hubert naturally knew the old headmaster of the Knights' Academy.

He was also once the teacher of Maria-Alzira Al-Salazar, Duke.

The fact that Frey could be noticed by Grandmaster Sphentois means that Frey possesses talents comparable to those of Myah, the so-called jack-of-all-trades.

Just as the three of them were chatting casually in the student council room, as they usually did, a message suddenly appeared in that tranquil and peculiar space. The pure white aura began to flicker and scroll line by line in the pitch-black room.

The Shadow World Saint's Hall Evil Banquet has been cleared.

Calculation complete, evaluation in progress.

Since the Challenger, Lanci & Huberlian & Frey team has entered, a team settlement method will be used.

In this reasoning-based game world spanning a total of 120 hours, the challenger side found the traitor in 11 hours and 30 minutes, and completed the full information reveal in 17 hours and 58 minutes.

The team has accomplished the following achievements.

A Noble Educator, SS—Under your influence, most beings only need one day to evolve, and for those who cannot evolve, you will help them evolve in another way.

【Villainous Feast A - In this world of detective fiction, successfully achieved the goal of the traitor, rescuing and controlling Lord Augustine 】

War expert S—the Traitor has fallen into your trap, being tortured to the point of utter devastation.

According to your request, the great poet of love played the organ seriously instead of transforming it into a magnificent kitchen as she wished.

The vampire, Augustine, has been released and sealed over 10,000 times.

【Conscience D—You are a kind witch, the only one who acts like a human】

These should be mine and Huberlian's.

Ranch looked at the refreshing light curtain and happily said to the other two.

"What the heck is that "Ritual Music Enlightenment"

"

Although there were many things to criticize, Huberlian found it most incomprehensible that the achievements of the great poet were being questioned.

Could it be that the great poet of love has been thinking about that organ all along

She asked in confusion.

I said, "Why is she always staring at that organ in the church I thought maybe she wanted to play it again."

Frey nodded, finally understanding the nature of a great love poet.

Originally, the fire burning in her eyes wasn't the soul of music, but the soul of a craftsman.

"From now on, I need to keep a closer eye on my familiars. She's getting too strange, and I absolutely can't let her anywhere near expensive instruments."

Lanche felt a little bit of regret.

The great poet is completely self-aware, even Lance can't guess what she's thinking. Unexpectedly, she really seems a little sick.

If by any chance she ruins something from the kingdom's treasured collection of expensive musical instruments, or causes damage due to her summons, the summoner will be held responsible for all losses. Ranch could potentially lose everything he owns.

As they communicated, the Shadow World's evaluations continued to be refreshed.

Detective SS— You are a detective with both intelligence and martial arts prowess, making it difficult for your enemies to tell whether you solve cases through strength or intellect.

【The Guardian of the Ancient Castle C - Because you efficiently solved the case, nothing happened last night, such as a traitor destroying your bedroom door. You protected the Lichtenstein Castle perfectly 】

The Vampire's Gospel S—Thanks to your efforts, vampires have gained an unprecedented evolutionary direction: mummies.

Achievement summary completed, evaluation generated.

The killing game has changed because of your presence. The two betrayers that the Sinner's Church pointed to are like children compared to you.

Overall Evaluation: SSS

Rank Increase: Lance from Tier 3 to Tier 4, Huberlian from Tier 4 to Tier 5, Frey from Tier 4 to Tier 5.

At the moment of reward settlement, all three achieved a breakthrough in rank.

Lanche even discovered that he had just reached the fourth rank, and was not far from the fifth rank.

He challenged a level 5 shadow world with only level 3, that's already overrewarding, let alone achieving an SSS rating.

Meanwhile, Frey, who was experiencing this epiphany-like revelation for the first time, was surprised to clench his fists.

"Frey, how are you feeling"

Lanche asked.

Compared to him and Huberian, Frey should be the one whose position change will bring the most noticeable difference.

"Is this already level five If I fought the Destruction Saintess in a jungle at night, I could totally take her down."

Frey was certain that as his rank rose, more of his wolfish traits would awaken.

Lang nodded.

Even when he was at the fourth stage, Frey possessed strength comparable to that of a fifth stage.

Now on the fifth floor, even though there's a watershed between the fifth and sixth floors, Frey has racial buffs at night, making him formidable even among those on the sixth floor.

They can be said to be the strongest combat power in their team at present.

Reward Settlement: Eternal Glass Tears (Tier 4 Epic Equipment Card), Wolf King's Arrogance (Epic Material), The Witch's Warm Embrace (Tier 5 Divine Equipment Card).

Soon, with the appearance of this information, three groups of mist-shrouded light floated towards them.
