Gods, Ashes Descend

Chapter 72 The Teacher Who Took Off His Leggings Out is Amazing!

The scaleless demon king, half-mad from her desire to link the flame, was in Emma's hands. She refused to let Li Wei go in and wreak havoc, but she promised to have someone bring out the eyes.

Upon arriving at the Great Archives, two eccentric, white-bearded old men seemed quite surprised by Li Wei's arrival.

This is not imprisonment at all; rather, these two old men are completely engrossed in their research on the corrupted beings of the Abyss, neglecting to eat or sleep.

Meanwhile, the other monks were working tirelessly to organize the various documents and books in the Great Archives, some of which had become corrupted and weathered and needed to be rewritten.

These things are the lifeblood of mages; don't expect them to do anything until they've finished organizing them.

However, scrolls of all kinds, from crystal magic to soul magic, can be supplied, as long as you pay.

When Li Wei mentioned the fat brothers and Ge Cide, the two brothers said that the woman led the group away, and as for where they went, they had no say in it.

Gertrude played a significant role in the Lothric civil war, leaving without a word, seemingly without even seeing her own Ashes. There's more to this than meets the eye.

Li Wei felt that the two old men were definitely up to something and hiding it from him.

...........

Li Wei wandered around the royal city for a long time, only to end up with a bunch of backroom deals, five spiral swords, and a completely bewildered look before returning to the sacrificial site.

However, they have achieved their main objective, and they can deal with the rest of the mess themselves.

As for her eyes, Li Wei thought the Fire Keeper might have an Uchiha name, which would be convenient to use immediately.

Li Wei squatted in front of the campfire. Apart from the worlds of Klaus and Dige, the others were all in the process of being secretly transferred to cool down. Li Wei didn't want to go to Klaus's world again, at least not until he became stronger, lest he be captured and used as a hand warmer.

As for Emperor, both the New Testament and the Old Testament describe Him as very stingy and petty.

So stop overthinking and let's start exploring!

When Li Wei opened his eyes again, he met the gaze of a woman locked to the wall and wearing a stone harness.

"Um~ Your entrance was quite unique. Is this some new magic? Fire? That's much more taboo than what I used to do."

The headgear looked so familiar that Li Wei didn't answer but instead asked a question.

"Selian?"

"Oh, looks like I'm quite famous now. But since we're both criminals, how about letting me go if you don't mind?"

Goodness, Li Wei knows where he is now, Aiden's Ring, a world where fire is forbidden. But even Teacher Tui is imprisoned, so it's just the end of the world, right?

However, in stark contrast to the Dark Souls world, where an undead disease breaks out in a post-apocalyptic world.

The inhabitants of the border region are blessed by the Golden Tree and follow the golden law of reincarnation and death.

They will only die when the ring breaks; normally they are immortal, provided they accept the inhabitants of the Golden Tree.

Everything else is the same; if you're killed, you die.

Faced with the charge of pressing the wrong button, Li Wei replied.

"Who is guilty?"

"Aren't you one of the lunatics from the Mad Fire side?"

Li Wei curiously pulled off the hood of the girl in front of him. She had long black hair, and her face looked a little pale because she hadn't seen the sun for a long time. With her phoenix eyes, she looked like an intellectual older sister, which really appealed to Li Wei.

This forced Li Wei to admit that he was just a pathetic, ordinary person, and in any case, his favorability rating increased by one.

"It looks pretty good, why wear a hood?"

Li Wei was curious about Se Lian's face, while Se Lian was curious about Li Wei's identity, since everyone in the border region knew what it meant.

"Are you an outsider, a faded one? This is a witch's hood issued by our academy to outstanding female mages; it's also proof of their identity."

"No, I am ashes."

Li Wei drew his greatsword from behind the chrysanthemum, intending to try and cut the chains.

Meanwhile, Seren was muttering to himself as he watched Li Wei's movements.

Ashes? The residue left after burning. Ashes usually have a special meaning because they are often closely related to disappearance, rebirth and change.

"An interesting name, but give up. This is a chain of fine iron, it can't be cut. Besides, aren't you a mage? Well, no one says mages can't use greatswords."

Li Wei glanced at the woman with disdain; she was too talkative. The Fire Keeper was better.

With a loud crash, the chains didn't break, but the wall behind them was dented by the greatsword.

The iron chain got stuck in the wall, pulling Serian half to death.

"Are you going to kill me? Then don't tear me apart, that's too gruesome."

"Shut up, your favorability rating with me has decreased by one."

Li Wei simply kicked his foot against the wall and grabbed the iron chain, pulling it outwards.

As the lock embedded in the wall was slowly pulled out, Seren stared wide-eyed at Li Wei, this unknown creature that looked like a humanoid being.

"My God, where did you come from, a humanoid dragon? Can I study your body? I promise I won't endanger your health or life."

"Can't you just not be so curious?"

"Can someone without curiosity still be called a monk?"

As both chains were torn off, Serlian covered the iron lock on his wrist with his hand, and the steel transformed into a crystalline covering.

Seeing Li Wei staring at his wrist with curiosity, Serian asked curiously.

"Why are you so curious about the combination of radiance magic and simple matter conversion? Is your fire teleportation spell an accident, or are you not a magician?"

"When did I say I was a mage?"

"Okay, I guess I was just prejudiced."

As Seren asked, he reached out his hand, gesturing for Li Wei to crush the handcuffs that were covered in crystals. Li Wei gripped the handcuff heads with both hands, and a crisp cracking sound rang out.

After the handcuffs were removed, Seren moved his wrists and then looked up at Li Wei.

"Although I'd love to give you a thank-you gift, I don't have much on me. However, if you're curious about Radiant Stone magic, I don't mind teaching you. But I'm strict and don't go for gentle teaching methods, so don't regret it later."

Although the Witch Teacher of Ashes is still imprisoned in the City of Sin, Li Wei doesn't mind making the Witch Teacher of Ashes awesome.

"Besides, that good-for-nothing Ah Tui can't even protect his own teacher. He's just an incompetent disciple. So what if he's arrogant?" Li Wei immediately replied.

"Of course! I'm curious about all kinds of magic."

Serenity seemed pleased with Li Wei's answer; his eyes crinkled with laughter.

"Let me first tell you about the magic of the sapphire. The magic of the sapphire is the magic that finds the power within the sapphire and then casts it."

Pyroxene is amber formed from stars.

Golden amber contains the power of fragments of ancient life.

Similarly, pyroxene also contains the power possessed by fragments of star life.

Remember this: the magic of pyroxene is about exploring the stars and their life.

There's a group of second-rate magicians who have completely forgotten this.

As he spoke, Seren stared at Li Wei's body and swallowed hard.

"Disciple, that's why monks are all explorers. If you don't mind, may your teacher examine your body?"

Li Wei blinked. "Oh, so you're showing your true colors now. So you only took me as your apprentice because you were lusting after my body!"
