Chapter 34 Song of Withering

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"Well... I know a little bit, and there are a lot of ancient music scores in the library..." Of course Li Yue listened to a lot of music in his previous life, but now that he is here, he must attribute all his superficial understanding of music to Tibet.

The collection of books in the library.

"Then it must not be this one..." Skorric shook his head, not even in the mood to listen to Li Yue's output.

"This song of withering... is the soul-releasing song of the skeleton clan..." Skorrick said, putting down the bone sword with a pair of bone hands, then picked up the lute and started playing.

The Song of Withering? Judging from the feeling brought by the tune, it does mean this...

But how do you explain the soul-releasing song? Release the soul?

While Skorric was talking to himself, Li Yue used the Devil's Manual to check the status of the target, and surprisingly discovered some of the Skeleton Prince's true thoughts.

[Master this song of withering, engrav it into your bones, and become a real devil...]

Could it be some kind of cultivation? Li Yue was silent.

The sound of the piano vibrated and washed through the bones of the Skeleton Prince, seeming to trigger some kind of resonance - the crystal clear bone rod was covered with phantom light. Although it was not clear under the moonlight, Li Yue's fully developed perception was able to detect it without missing a beat.

.

Li Yue did not interrupt Skolrick's performance, but firmly remembered the changing fingerings on the piano handle, feeling the magic power that was slightly pulsating on the Skeleton Prince's body.

"It's really nice..." Li Yue still needs more information, but with the Devil's Illustrated Manual, there is often no need for the other party to actually tell the answer, and he only needs to ask the right questions.

"Are you the only one who can master this soul-releasing song?"

"You want to learn? It's up to you?" Skolrick played the next loop and was so intoxicated that he couldn't help humming a few times.

[Malicious +444]

[Only I, only I, who was born from the ribs of the Skeleton King, are qualified to master this cultivation method... and then become the Skeleton King...]

Unexpectedly, Li Yue accidentally found out the true origin of Skolrick... His mind was racing with thoughts.

"Sorry, only you, the noble and special one, are qualified to play this song of withering..."

There was no malicious pop-up, and Skolric snorted.

"Then what hobbies and pastimes do you, such a distinguished person, have in your daily life?" Li Yue tried his best to communicate with Skolrick using his peaceful thoughts.

The moonlight was as bright as ice, but under the frozen light, the bone sword leaning on the bed seemed to be trembling slightly.

"My pastime? My pastime is to stab you humble low-level monsters to death." Skolrick said, but there was no malice, and Li Yue did not notice the slight movement of the sword handle.

"I understand... If I have offended you in any way, I hope you can forgive me..." Li Yue shrank his mind, "Before the door of chaos opens, I still have to serve you well..."

[Malicious +444]

Li Yue chose the wrong dialogue, which reminded Skolrick of his own "needs."

"Then why are you still here? Why don't you go help me find the dragon bones?" Skorrick glanced at the bone sword beside the bed.

The gap in status made Li Yue know that he would not get any more information from Skolrick's communication, so he retreated decisively.

It seems that when facing the devil, you can't just lick it blindly - Li Yue silently remembered this gain in his heart, and while drifting towards the way he came from, he suddenly remembered the recent malicious Cai 444, maybe it's okay...another question?

"You are so special, you must not have any friends, right?"

[Malicious +1444]

[I don’t need friends, I am the only person in the skeleton clan who is qualified to participate in battle training, I only need “that”...]

"Don't pollute my head with your humble thoughts..." Skorric moved his sword, but Li Yue had already retreated far away and escaped into the shadows on the corridor.

But he didn't leave.

It wasn't until the Song of Withering sounded again that Li Yue gently floated away from the door of the Eleventh Library, and silently marked the warning line that Skolrick felt.

This is extremely useful information - the cordon is equivalent to a safe distance. If the safe distance is short enough, Li Yue will have a chance.

Returning to the library hall, the Book Demon was not there. Most of the brain spirits and slave scholars had already returned to their dormitories to rest. Only the Minnies were still making noise in the open space in the middle.

Thirteen pairs of Minnie Minnies have been selected as the first batch of attendants for closed combat training - they all stood excitedly by the wall, like warriors about to go out for battle.

Most of the unsuccessful Minnies formed a large circle, and in the center of the circle was the Minnies who had not yet determined their destination, and kept making exclamations.

Li Yue saw Minnie in the same group at a glance - two little sweet potato eyes with tears in their eyes, Minnie's hand was stretched out, and she was forced to reach for the note in old Minnie's hand...

"Ah, come on, come on, come on, you don't want to go, but there are people who want to go! Don't delay the rest~" The crowd of Minnie and Minnie onlookers got into a quarrel.

"Wow...brother...save me...I don't want to go..." Minnie burst into tears when she saw Li Yue. She howled to her Naoling brother from a distance.

Li Yue unfolded his senses and immediately noticed that the note in Old Minnie's hand had been torn into two types: long and short. At this moment, there were 7 long pieces and only 2 short pieces left.

Is this a lottery?

Unexpectedly, Minnie Minnie, who is very capable of doing things, would be so fair and efficient when determining the list.

When Minnie cried and begged, her fingers had already been pulled to the edge of the lot, and she was about to pinch it; the other Minnies opened their eyes wide and waited for the result, as if the fun of the act of drawing the lot itself exceeded its actual significance.

"Smoke this one."

Just when Minnie's finger was about to touch the paper sign, Li Yue used his mind to slightly shake the long sign in Old Minnie's hand.

Minnie pulled it off without hesitation and held it tightly, as if she was holding on to her own life.

Opening her eyes slightly, she saw that it was a long-term lottery. Minnie couldn't stop crying, feeling lucky and moved at the same time.

However, the Minnies didn't pay attention, and there was no need for Li Yue to pull the two little guys out - the Minnies at the same table were automatically squeezed out of the team by the excited candidates and rolled to the sidelines.

Then a swarm of swarms went up to grab all the lots, 6 pairs beat their chests and stamped their feet, and 2 pairs jumped up high to celebrate.

"It's okay..." Li Yue immediately wrapped Minnie and Minnie warmly with his thoughts, "You don't have to go, don't cry..."

Li Yue's clumsy efforts to protect him had no effect. A pair of Minnie Minnies hugged Naoling brother hard, stretching their arms long and wrapping them around him several times. They were so strong that they almost crushed Li Yue.

"Open up, open up..." Li Yue didn't want to die in such a funny way, "Who came up with it? Draw lots?"

"Uh...we all decided together..." Minnie told the truth. Feeling the coldness in Li Yue's thoughts, he poked Minnie as if he was asking for help.

"Brother...this time...what does Skorric want?" Minnie, who was still in shock, actually didn't forget to help Li Yue complete the task.

"Ah? Oh, it's okay, you don't have to worry..."

"Brother, don't you believe us?" Minnie pouted.

"Looking for bones, are there any? Bone sticks, ribs..." Li Yue saw Minnie's firm attitude and casually repeated Skolrick's needs.

"Dragon bone? Why is there a dragon bone here?" Minnie wiped his nose, was stunned, and muttered, "He might as well make a wish to the elf..."

"Other bones... are also hard to find... The library doesn't keep such things... But if the body collector hasn't come, you can still steal some from the four corpses..." Minnie really started to help Li

Yue thought of a way.

"It's okay, don't worry about it. I didn't get much rest last night. Go to bed early today and I'll figure it out myself." Li Yue thought to himself that even if he really wanted to find bones, he wouldn't need Minnie Minnie's help...

Anyway, skeletons are already included in the Devil's Manual. It's not difficult to kill some skeleton soldiers at night to collect them.

What's more...who said he really wants to go?

Li Yue thought about it, then stroked the bald heads of the two sweet potatoes with his mind, and finally comforted them.

"Really?" Minnie Minnie's eyes immediately drooped.

"Of course it's true." Li Yue solemnly conveyed, "You guys go to bed, I still have something to say...I want to talk to Old Minnie."

Li Yue's thoughts were filled with murderous intent again.

"Well...he has no other choice." Minimini waved her hands repeatedly, "Brother, please don't harm them..."

Li Yue looked at the two kind little guys in front of him, saw their determined eyes, and sighed: "I'm just talking to him..."

"Shall we sleep then?" Minnie wiped away her tears and hugged Minnie tightly.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep..." Li Yue settled down Minnie, turned around, and drifted towards Old Minnie in the corner.

Old Minnie seemed to have guessed that Li Yue would come looking for him. He suppressed the embarrassment and rubbed his eyes, looking as if he was going to kill him at the first glance.

When Li Yue floated in front of him, Old Mini spoke first.

"If you continue to use them like this...sooner or later you will kill them..."
