In the room on the third floor of Grandma's Soup Room, Senjou and the god-clothed Okoto were lazily playing chess, while Lolotta, who was holding a sword at the side, watched with gusto.
This kind of shogi game with nine rows and nine columns of square grids, jade generals, flying chariots, and corner chess pieces is a unique way of playing Yamayaku.
The three of them took turns, and it had been raining for two days and two nights.
Those who lose will be punished with stickers on their faces. Now Senjou and Lolotta have stickers on their faces that look like lion's manes. There aren't many on Miko's face, but there are quite a few. Give this to the shrine maiden who serves the god.
It adds a bit of human fireworks.
The atmosphere is quite harmonious.
On the other half of the house, a wooden lattice door separated an isolated room, surrounded by various Shinto restrictions to prevent energy from leaking out. Although you couldn't see what was going on inside, the pressure and terrifying undercurrent leaked out from time to time.
The spiritual power also caused the three people playing chess to be interrupted from time to time.
Moreover, today the frequency of energy dissipation is getting higher and higher, and it is getting stronger and stronger, and there is no sign of stopping... The barrier has been strengthened several times, so it was not discovered by outsiders.
No, as soon as the chess pieces were placed, Yuzi was attracted by the eerie energy fluctuations in the next room.
She is a shrine maiden of the Ise Shrine, and is particularly sensitive to that kind of dark energy fluctuation. That exaggerated energy has exceeded her understanding of any professional of the same level. It feels like there is no one in that room.
It's advancing, and it's more like a hell monster evolving.
She asked: "Miss Senjo, isn't Mr. Su Lun's near-dissipated energy too exaggerated? Is there any problem?"
Lolota on the side blew the note plastered all over her face and said: "Yes, teacher. Mr. Su Lun has advanced to the fourth level, why is there so much movement?"
Senjo glanced at it and blinked: "Oh, that guy's dark spirit power is indeed exaggerated. Ordinary professionals have not made such a big move when they advance to the fifth level. But the energy is already showing signs of declining, and it should be soon."
Even though she said this, there was no trace of worry on her face.
Senjou knew Su Lun too well. His background was far deeper than anyone else's. It was not surprising that he made such exaggerated noises.
As for being unable to digest the distortion of cursed materials, there is no need to worry. For Su Lun, who has the Eye of Omniscient, it is almost impossible.
And with his steady personality, there's nothing to worry about.
In fact, the three of them are not just playing chess here, they are here to protect Su Lun.
After all, there is no room for interruption in such an important matter as advancement.
Qianjou didn't say he cared, but this gambling-addicted young woman, who had been invisible all day, had been staying in the house for the past two days, not even going to the hot springs.
The three of them were playing chess and chatting, and Lolotta yawned next to them.
Senjo said casually: "Lolota, if you feel sleepy, go to sleep."
Lolotta said seriously: "No, I want to accompany the teacher."
Senjo then turned to ask Miko who was sitting opposite her, and said, "Where's Miss Miko? If you feel sleepy, just go to bed."
Yuzi smiled slightly, "No need."
As the master, she naturally couldn't sleep alone, not to mention she was happy to help Su Lun with a little help.
After hearing this, Senjou's expression flashed with a touch of joking, and he said jokingly: "Miss Miko, what do you think of that boy Su Lun?"
"Very powerful."
Yuzi made a move.
After thinking for a while, she responded seriously: "Mr. Su Lun is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met except my teacher. He seems to know everything and is proficient in everything. He is really amazing. These days
During the time we got along, Miko also asked a lot of questions, and I benefited a lot.”
The two spent time together these days, and she got to know Su Lun better.
After getting rid of the initial wariness of the "stranger", she discovered that Su Lun was a really good person, strong, knowledgeable, versatile, self-denying, humble, dedicated, and handsome with almost no faults.
The most important thing is to have good character.
He can control his emotions perfectly. Although he occasionally looks casually, that is human nature; but he does not indulge in evil thoughts and debauchery, which is a rare quality.
This was also the reason why Yuzi felt that she had a great time getting along with her under the same roof for a few days and didn't mind at all.
As a miko, she can also feel people's emotions very clearly.
Hearing this response, Qian Jiao was full of heroic beauty and said, "Hey, let me tell you, you will definitely fall in love with him."
She stared at Yuzi's pretty face with playful eyes, as if trying to detect any abnormal emotions.
Yuzi was used to this kind of teasing, and her expression remained unchanged as she corrected him: "My admiration for Mr. Su Lun is not a relationship between a man and a woman."
After saying that, she paused and smiled: "I think Miss Senjo and Mr. Su Lun are a good match."
Senjo rolled his eyes when he heard this, not wanting to argue at all, but said lazily: "That guy once told a strange story about "The Legend of the Vulture", and there was a saying in it, 'One encounter leads to a lifetime of misfortune.
, I think it’s quite suitable for you.”
Yuzi ignored her and just made a move on his own, saying, "Mr. Su Lun also told me some very interesting stories."
""
Senjo looked down at the chessboard and realized that he seemed to be losing again, and his expression was strange.
She frowned and thought for a moment. She didn't think of a way to break the situation, so she could only gain the upper hand with her words, "Have you ever seen a more handsome and outstanding man than him? If you don't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid you will be in trouble in the future.
It’s hard to come across.”
Miko listened, noncommittal, and said calmly: "Of course I have never encountered her before, and it will probably be difficult to encounter me in the future. But Miss Senjo, you have forgotten that I am a Shinto miko."
As she spoke, she made a move and smiled: "You lost again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the white note was pasted on Qian Jiao's face.
Senjo rolled his eyes.
Lolotta laughed heartlessly on the side and urged: "Teacher, you lose, it's my turn!"
Qian Jiao and the other three were still playing chess. Just when Qian Jiao's face was running out of space to stick the note, suddenly, the energy fluctuations in the other half of the room completely stopped.
Qianjiao immediately realized something and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's done!"
After all, we didn't encounter anything unexpected these two days.
Yuzi on the side also noticed it, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "It seems that Mr. Su Lun's advancement is over."
Lolotta looked at the two people and suddenly stopped. Only then did she realize it. She looked at the wooden door and whispered softly: "I don't know if it was successful or not."
Before he finished speaking, the lattice door was suddenly pushed open, and Su Lun walked out in high spirits.
Because he had just advanced, his aura could not be perfectly controlled, and the overflowing fourth-level fluctuations made the three people in the room look surprised and expectant on their faces.
Lolotta was anxious and asked: "Mr. Su Lun, have you successfully advanced?"
Su Lun nodded, successful.
Qianjiao squinted his eyes and looked at the mysterious runes on Su Lun's skin, and asked: "How does it feel to advance?"
"Very strong."
Su Lun only said two words.
He couldn't describe his current experience, but it felt really good!
If he had picked up a piece of gold in the wild before getting the inheritance scroll of the Rune Warlock lineage, then now he has mastered the method of "turning stone into gold"!
After advancing, not only do you gain a lot more knowledge related to runes, but you also have the ability to understand this field of runes, as well as logical thinking abilities, learning, extension, deduction, variation, perception and other abilities, all of which can be achieved instantly.
Climbed countless steps.
That [imitation original rune] is really a treasure!
The essence of runes is "magic patterns", which express abstract concepts of laws with intuitive concrete patterns. Through some special combinations and arrangements, various magical effects are created.
At this moment, Su Lun felt as if he had seen a lighthouse in the endless dark ocean of knowledge, making him suddenly feel that he had touched the threshold of the ultimate mystery of the law.
It feels really great to choose the direction of advancement at level four!
The improvement of attainments in "Rune Literature" is very important for a puppet master. After this advancement, Su Lun's ability to make rune puppets in battle will increase by N times.
Those sixth- and seventh-level high-level runes that were once incomprehensible, and the various variations of rune language feel like college students doing elementary school questions. They can be picked at their fingertips, and their ideas suddenly become clear.
He was the "Rune Master" before, then he is the "Rune Master" now!
Moreover, there are many rune secrets in the inheritance of the "Rune Warlock" lineage. After Su Lun masters it, his combat power will increase several times!
Seeing the unconcealed brilliance in Su Lun's eyes, Yu Zi also smiled slightly, feeling happy for him from the bottom of his heart, and said quietly: "Congratulations, Mr. Su Lun."
Su Lun glanced at her and said solemnly: "I was able to advance successfully, thanks to Miss Yuzi's help."
There are countless words of gratitude on my lips, but there are too many to say.
From the formula, materials to the subsequent refining, it is all directly related to the Shanyin Princess in front of me.
If there were no Yuzi, if Su Lun had to prepare everything by himself, I'm afraid the advancement would still be far away.
This favor is truly owed.
Yuzi bowed slightly and responded: "Mr. Su Lun, you're welcome."
Qian Jiao on the side rolled his eyes and tried to be polite, "I wonder if you two can stop thanking each other?"
Su Lun couldn't laugh or cry.
Suddenly, he looked at the runes on Qian Tiao's arms and said: "Sister Qian Tiao, I am confident that the 'forbidden magic rune seal' on your arm can be unlocked now!"
Previously, with his level of runes, if he had to unlock the ban imposed by a sixth-level rune master, he might not be able to find the right method for ten and a half months.
But now that I have advanced, I can immediately find the pattern of the arrangement of the runes with just one glance.
"oh?"
Qianjiao raised his eyebrows and looked happy.
She would not be polite to Su Lun. The rune seals on her arms had caused her a lot of suffering in a short period of time. It would be best if she could solve it.
But suddenly, she seemed to smell something strange. She wrinkled her nose and said with disgust: "Su Lun, what does your kid smell like?"
Su Lun asked: "It doesn't taste good?"
Lolotta made a face and reminded: "Sour taste"
Yuzi covered her mouth and smiled without saying a word.
""
After hearing this, Su Lun realized something.
Even though this is a hot spring hotel, he has never even gone into the pool after being here for so many days. He has been immersed in tinkering with advanced matters.
In addition to the days on the pirate ship, it seems that I haven't taken a shower for more than half a month? I have also been refining materials for a few days, so the smell on my body must not be good.
Thinking of this, he laughed awkwardly and said, "How about I go take care of it first?"
This time he advanced to the fourth level and spent two days and two nights in the room. He felt that he should also wash up, so he prepared to walk towards the courtyard.
Hearing this, Qianjo glanced at Yuzi from the corner of his eye, a hint of joking flashed through his eyes, and waved his hand: "Let's go take a bath! I found a good place on the mountain before, it is definitely a top-notch experience. It just so happened that I
I haven’t been out for two days, let’s go see the ‘beautiful scenery’”
When Su Lun heard it, he thought it was okay, "Okay."
Senjou made a gesture to walk outside, and put his arm on the shoulders of the god-like Miko, "Let's go, Miss Miko, let's go together."
"ah?"
Miko had a premonition that Senjou was trying to tease her, but she seemed to be too outspoken when she refused. But before her brain could react, she was already being pulled away by Senjou, and she could only respond dully.
He said: "Oh."
A group of four people left the small courtyard and quietly went up the mountain.
The four Su Lun people all have extraordinary skills. A few of them did not take the main road, walking all the way through the forest and over the mountains, and even climbed up the cliffs.
The geothermal hot springs in Cha Ming Mountain are very rich, but all the hot springs are built on gentle terrain, and the higher you go, the sparsely populated they are.
Not long after, several people had reached above the snow line, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.
Seeing them going further and further towards the main peak of the crater, Su Lun was curious and asked: "Sister Qianjo, where are we going?"
Senjou didn't stop at all, and said with eyes full of expectation: "Lorota and I went out to practice swordsmanship before. We were wandering in the mountains and came across a natural hot spring. The scenery was great and the spring water was very good!"
Su Lun: "Oh."
At this time, Senjo asked Miko next to her again, "I'm afraid Miss Miko has never been to such an outdoor hot spring, right?"
"Ah yes."
Yuzi seemed to be slightly distracted and nodded, "I have been to Chaming Mountain when I was a child, but only in the soup room. I have never been to the mountain."
She looked at the snowy scenery around her, like a canary escaping its cage, and a strange color flashed across her pretty face, and she said, "I didn't expect the scenery here to be so spectacular."
Qian Tiao frowned, "Oh, you really should try it. That hot spring will definitely impress you."
Miko didn't know why, but today she always felt that Chijo's smile was a bit narrow-minded.
Probably to take revenge on her for winning too many chess games in the past two days?
"It's up there!"
Not long after, the four of Su Lun arrived at the foot of a nearly ninety-degree cliff. Qianjiao pointed at the cliff nearly 100 meters above his head, where there was a dead tree, gurgling water, and large icy waterfalls.
"Follow me quickly!"
Qianjou exerted force on her feet and kicked up suddenly. She was like a vigorous chamois, kicking on the protruding cliff a few times before jumping up.
Not to be outdone, Lolota took a short knife and climbed up through the cracks in the ice. On the way, she did not forget to say to Su Lun below: "Mr. Su Lun, Miss Miko, hurry up."
"good."
Su Lun responded.
Climbing the wall was easy for him, but he turned his head and glanced at the side of him, looking at the pretty face of Miko who was slightly embarrassed on the rock wall. He asked: "Miss Miko, can I take you up?"
"ah?"
Yuzi's eyes were confused for a moment.
It wasn't that she couldn't climb up, she just felt that climbing the wall seemed inappropriate. She was a royal princess and had never climbed a wall like this. Even if this happened, the guards had arranged the way.
At this moment, she kept asking herself again and again:
Is it rude to climb the wall?
Aunt etiquette seems to never allow the princess to do this?
And will Mr. Su Lun find it strange?
Keren was still in the trap when he was suddenly hugged by a hand, and someone said in his ear: "Miss Yuzi, hold on tight, I'm going up."
Su Lun would not be so coquettish. He saw Yuzi's dilemma and took action directly.
As soon as the eight-armed spider spear was released, he hugged a person and easily climbed up the cliff.
PS. To make up for yesterday’s post, if I have time, I will try to write another one. Don’t wait, it may be very late.
