Wu Tong, Bald Dragon, Liu Su, and Cang Man had already drawn the runes before and handed them to Yao Yun before anyone else started.
Yao Yun looked at the four of them expectantly.
However, the faces of the four of them were a little ugly, with turns red and white, and they looked depressed.
The bald dragon said displeased: "Your Majesty, it's so unfair. Most of the basic runes discovered by this dragon overlap."
Cang Man also said pitifully: "Your Majesty, most of the basic runes I discovered are also the same!"
When Yao Yun heard this, he turned to look at the second elder Wu Tong and Liusu. He saw the second elder Wu Tong smiling bitterly and shaking his head, while Liusu had a look of resentment on his face.
Originally, Yao Yun thought that he had discovered eighty-six basic runes. Four experts with extremely high cultivation levels were the finalists. Then he would be sure to find fourteen more basic runes. But... in an instant, he
The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
No way, what's going on!
Yao Yun looked solemn and began to look through the answer sheets of the four people.
The first is Cang Man. As Yao Yun's retainer, Cang Man is also literate and can read and write. He is not proficient in runes, witchcraft, and spells, but he knows a lot about them. In addition, he is extremely talented and has actually written more than thirty runes.
Six of them are true base runes.
But it is a pity that five of the basic runes have been discovered, and only one is valuable.
"Cangman, six basic runes have been discovered, but unfortunately, five of them have been preempted by others, and only one has not been discovered."
Cang Man smiled awkwardly, and his smile was even uglier than crying.
Eighty-seven!
Yao Yun calculated silently, and then looked at Liusu's answer sheet. There were as many runes as above. Liusu's characters were very delicate and graceful, and they were as pleasing to the eye as her appearance.
Yao Yun felt a little relieved after reading it. Six of the ten runes were repeated, four of which were taken by the little bamboo spirit. Thinking that the little bamboo spirit was trained by Liusu, Yao Yun immediately felt relieved.
"Lisu, it's very good. I found ten basic runes. Although six of them overlap, they are still very powerful." Liusu looked regretful. Only the first one to discover the basic runes would be rewarded. I don't know if the king will.
Also encourage them. If I had known earlier, I would not have been humble enough to give in to the juniors.
However, seeing that the king was looking at it seriously, Empress Liusu suppressed the urgency in her heart and quietly waited for Yao Yun to review it.
There are ninety-one basic runes, and there are nine left.
Yao Yun relaxed a little now. Seeing the four people fighting for their lives, Yao Yun was really worried that he would not be able to raise a hundred basic runes.
"Next is Uncle Long. Well, there are quite a lot of them. There are more than two hundred runes. Just look at them. Hey, there are as many as seventeen. But fourteen are repeated, and only three are unused.
Discovered.”
Ninety-four!
Yao Yun had some expectations at first, but when he saw that there were only three undiscovered basic runes, he was not disappointed immediately.
When the bald dragon heard this, he was extremely depressed: "Your Majesty, what the qi masters of the Xi Kingdom learned came from the same source. It is too easy to overlap. How about you give a discount to those who overlap to encourage us? We will do it in advance.
It’s just written, it’s not considered fraud.”
"Don't worry, I won't be stingy!" Yao Yun was not in the mood to answer the bald dragon's words, but immediately went to look at the papers of the second elder Wu Tong.
The second elder Wu Tong is worthy of being the only great witch in the Xi Kingdom and the elder of the witch temple. He can write as many as three hundred runes. Even if these runes are not basic runes, they are close to basic runes, which is very powerful.
There are a total of thirty-two basic runes among them!
This is a number that is enough to amaze others.
However, Yao Yun is a little disappointed. Twenty-eight of the thirty-two basic runes have been discovered, and only four have not yet been discovered!
As the bald dragon said, what the Qi Refiners of Xi Kingdom learned all came from the same source, Wu Zhu, and the basic runes discovered by the witch boys were all inherited from the Second Elder Wu Tong, so this meeting of the Second Elder Wu Tong seems to be fruitful.
, but Yao Yun’s small goal of 100 basic runes has not yet been reached.
In the end, the number of known basic runes reached ninety-eight, with two basic runes still missing.
As if feeling the disappointment of the king, the confused second elder Wu Tong blushed and said with shame: "I have disappointed the king. Alas, time is in a hurry and I am not prepared enough. If you give me some more time, I will surely be the best."
I won’t let the king down!”
Hearing the words of Second Elder Wu Tong, Yao Yun immediately woke up from his disappointment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Second Elder, it's not easy for you to discover so many basic runes in a short period of time. I just have some."
Unfortunately, I did not complete the goal of 100 basic runes."
Yao Yun said again: "Well, I have Gu's testimony today. The overlapping basic runes are purely coincidental. Everyone will be rewarded. The first person will receive a hundred sentient beings prayer beads, and the others will receive eighty!"
The bald dragon was a little reluctant: "Why is it only eighty? This dragon has already been written, but it's just not the first one to show it. This is really unfair!"
Yao Yun smiled and said: "Knowledge is valuable, and the first person to discover it will get the biggest reward. Not only the basic runes, but also other skills, knowledge, skills and secrets. Gu encourages people to invent and create, and the pioneers
Great rewards and special rewards, this is the national policy of the Xi Kingdom!"
Wu Tong, Yan Zhi Ah Qi and Master Liao heard this and immediately nodded in agreement.
The Second Elder Wu Tong said: "What the King said is true. Encouraging creation can strengthen the country and enrich the people!"
...
After obtaining the ninety-eight basic runes, Yao Yun returned to the palace quite disappointed. Speaking of today's results, he was quite gratifying, except that he was short of two basic runes and almost killed Yao Yun's obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Basic runes are the easiest to discover at the beginning. As more and more basic runes are known, subsequent basic runes become more and more rare. Sometimes it is found that basic runes also have an element of luck, which makes Yao Yun...
I started to worry about when the remaining two basic runes would be discovered.
If I'm unlucky... the mission will be delayed.
Back at the palace, Xingye had already prepared hot water. Yao Yun, who was quite depressed, took a good bath. As soon as he returned to the palace, a gust of fragrant breeze hit him.
"who?"
"Your Majesty, this is the slave family!"
Hearing this voice, Yao Yun immediately knew the identity of the visitor: "Lisu, why are you here."
Liusu came from the courtyard: "Your Majesty, do you want to collect a hundred basic runes?"
Yao Yun didn't know Liusu's purpose, but after getting along for a long time, the relationship between the two was very harmonious. Naturally, he didn't hide anything at this time and nodded immediately: "Well, gathering a hundred basic runes will be useful to me!"
Liusu smiled slyly: "Your Majesty, the slave family can help you, not to mention two, even more basic runes. Maybe it can complete all the basic runes of a certain series?"
When Yao Yun heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, but soon he looked at Liusu suspiciously: "Really?"
"Yeah~" Liusu pursed his lips and nodded, with a sincere look on his face.
"Why didn't you take it out at the witch temple before? You weren't planning something, don't tell me, I need to give you the prayer beads for all living beings first..."
Liusu blushed and whispered: "Your Majesty, you are really wise, but I am not lying. I have the blood of divine beasts. If your Majesty gives enough rosary beads to all living beings, there will be unexpected benefits~immortality..."
As he spoke, Liusu's voice became lower and lower, as if he was thinking about something.
"Mythical beast, divine bloodline, Liusu, you didn't lie to me, did you? I just squandered all sentient beings' prayer beads, and I don't have much left, you prodigal bitch." Yao Yun muttered to himself angrily, a little moved, and then
Some hesitation.
Yao Yun's last big gamble in the Kongming Ghost Realm was particularly vivid in his memory. This time he heard Liusu's seductive bewitchment, and he was no longer calm.
"Your Majesty, what did you just say, prodigal bitch?" Liusu's eyes suddenly brightened, and his eyes were filled with little stars.
"That's a curse word."
"Hehe, I understand~ Your Majesty, I want you~ I won't waste your prayer beads for all living beings in vain, I swear!" Liusu raised his emerald green hand seriously.
