Chapter 97 Samir's Ancient Hero
Half a month has passed since I returned to the ruins of Yizhan Street from Shuihuan Village that day.
During this time, besides learning magic from Teacher Seren, Xia Tong would take Berkra out to practice magic and close combat skills whenever she had nothing else to do.
If necessary, go to the vicinity of the Yizhan Street ruins to sweep around.
After the combat drills, Xia Tong would return to the secret room, prepare a simple meal, and live a fulfilling and regular life.
Five more days have passed.
After nearly twenty days of systematic study, Xia Tong's magical knowledge improved once again.
His intelligence also increased by two points.
It changed from 10 PM to midnight.

After spending another morning learning magic from Teacher Seren,
Seeing the teacher's pleased expression, Xia Tong finally spoke up somewhat awkwardly: "Teacher, I might be going on a long trip soon."
"I don't know when I'll be able to come back and ask you for advice again."
Seren put down the book in his hand, not surprised at all.
"I knew this day would come."
"You have farther places to go; the small post station ruins and Nymgford are not your final destination."
Then, Seren sighed softly, looked at Xia Tong, and said sincerely, "In all my years at the Realucalia Academy, I've taught many students and seen quite a few so-called geniuses."
"And you are the most outstanding class I have ever taught."
"You always grasp the theoretical knowledge or practical application of magic very quickly."
Serian paused, a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "It seems to me that you've had some prior exposure to a more advanced system of knowledge?"
"Like what you occasionally mentioned before, the heliocentric theory, the galaxy, galaxies, stars, planets, and so on."
"Those concepts are even more profound and grand than the most cutting-edge pyroxene research in the academy."
"Those were just my random thoughts when I was bored."
Xia Tong gave a perfunctory reply, feeling embarrassed.
He can't very well say that he's from another time, that he's had a complete modern university education, and that he watches astronomy videos regularly.
If I were to talk to you about advanced mathematics, calculus, Lagrange's theorem, and topology, wouldn't you be overjoyed?
Xia Tong inwardly grumbled, but outwardly she remained humble and sincere.
"Teacher, there's a question I've always wanted to ask."
Xia Tong suddenly became serious.
"What's the problem?"
Serenity thought he was going to ask a parting magical question.
But then, Xia Tong's words left her standing there dumbfounded, almost dropping the quill pen in her hand.
"Teacher, where is your true form?"
"Why remain in this dark and desolate post station ruin in the form of a magical avatar?"
After a long while.
Seren sighed softly.
She didn't want Xia Tong to get involved in these matters because she knew it was dangerous, involving the brutal internal struggles within the academy.
"Do you—do you really want to know?"
"Yes, I want to help my teacher."
Xia Tong's tone was sincere and firm.
He knew, of course, that Serian's true form was imprisoned in the ruins of the Sealed Witch on the Weeping Peninsula.
But if he pointed it out directly, it would only arouse Seren's vigilance and suspicion.
"You told me before that you had been to the Sobbing Peninsula."
Seren's voice was somewhat low: "And my true form is there, in a basement of ruins in the Lingmiao Plains."
Speaking of this, Serlian's eyes, hidden behind the mask, revealed a hint of undisguised pain.
Her true form was imprisoned there, corroded by pyroxene crystals, and tormented constantly.
Sobbing on the peninsula, pilgrimage to the church.
Xia Tong slowly stepped out of the blessed light and took a deep breath.
"As expected, the air here is so fresh, as it is the highest point on the Weeping Peninsula."
He gazed at the distant sea from here, the sea breeze caressing his face, and instantly all his troubles vanished.
In the distance, one can still hear the distant, melodious chimes emanating from the massive, sprawling mausoleum.
This comfort and ease gave him goosebumps all over his body.
It must be said that some places along the border are extremely beautiful.
Especially the star-studded underground dome of the Shifra River, the massive and silent ancient dragon remains in the royal city of Rodel, the tranquil village of sorcerers, the mysterious hidden cemetery of Carol, and that purple-blue coastline—
These are all extremely beautiful places.
Xia Tong secretly vowed in her heart that she would definitely go and see it properly in the future, so that the trip would not be in vain.
Of course, besides these beautiful sights, there are also some very "dark" places.
For example, the intricate sewers of the royal city, the corrupt lake filled with crimson decay, and the oppressive, deep-rooted underworld.
After enjoying the scenery, Xia Tong didn't linger any longer.
He rode Torret straight down toward the temple plains below.
On the plains, flocks of sheep roamed about, bleating softly, and no monsters appeared in the vicinity.
The first time Xia Tong came, she walked along the mountain ridge to reach the Lingmiao Plain underground cemetery.
But this time, he went straight down to the center of the mausoleum field.
Traveling smoothly with the wind, Xia Tong arrived at the bottom of the wilderness after about several hours.
The distant mausoleum drew ever closer, and the sound of its bells grew ever louder.
The enormous stone tortoise carrying the shrine caused tremendous tremors on the ground with every step it took, as if it were an earthquake.
Soon, Xia Tong arrived at the abandoned buildings in the Lingmiao Plain. Not wanting to miss anything, Xia Tong searched the area thoroughly.
Xia Tong dealt with all the scattered, crazed giant rats inside.
Moreover, he found more than a dozen Torina water lilies inside.
He counted them carefully, and there were a total of 16 flowers!
Then, Xia Tong felt a heartache so intense that she could hardly breathe.
Back then, a single flower sold for 1000 runes at the wandering merchant in the Misty Forest, and he bought three of them.
It took Xia Tong a long time to recover from the feeling of being betrayed.
He continued exploring and then discovered the entrance to an underground chamber in the ruins at the center.
Xia Tong considered it for a moment, but still didn't go in. Although he was a veteran player, he had forgotten what was inside.
Moreover, he has more important things to do now.
After leaving the ruins of Lingmiao Plain, Xia Tong continued climbing upwards.
Finally, on a high ground, Xia Tong saw a circular stone altar.
Around the altar were neatly arranged a ring of strange, sphere-like creatures—these were alien stone beads.
They are essentially living beings.
It is obvious that this place is a sealed prison.
In the very center of the altar, Xia Tong also saw a faint purple light.
The light spot above the sealed prison south of Lake Aquil where the hound knight Daryl was sealed last time is almost identical.
Xia Tong was already very familiar with all of this.
He stepped forward, placed his hand on it, and tried to use magic and light to create a resonance and break the seal.
But after half a day, he found that there was still no response.
It seems there has always been an invisible force blocking me, and my magic has never been able to penetrate that barrier.
"What happened?"
Xia Tong was speechless.
He turned his head and looked around.
Suddenly, I noticed an inconspicuous little devil statue next to the altar, covered in a layer of dust.
He suddenly slapped his forehead.
Then it dawned on me that not all sealed altars can be opened directly.
Some are doubly sealed, requiring a specific key, just like this sobbing, sealed prison before us.
But then he hesitated.
Because he now only has two stone sword keys left.
If a stone sword key is used here, how do you unlock the seal inside the drifting graveyard?
It takes two stone sword keys to open that place.
And inside are the ashes of the extremely powerful Lost Knight Oreg, which he is determined to take.
"Forget it, never mind!"
"Where there's a will, there's a way!"
Xia Tong gritted her teeth and searched through Toret's belongings for a stone sword key.
He inserted the stone sword key into the mouth of the little devil statue.
"Click".
The seal slowly lifted, and a brilliant purple light shone forth.
Xia Tong took a deep breath, preparing to seal the prison.
He absolutely must get the Radagan brand, this amulet!
Not to mention that the current requirement for hounds to grow teeth is still a little short.
Another major weakness is that the candidate's ability to perform his duties has always been a significant shortcoming, as he only manages to reach eleven points.
After only a few uses of Lion's Slash, I'm already out of breath, which seriously affects my combat endurance.
If this continues, he'll eventually become a "three-second wonder" man.
This amulet greatly enhances vitality, strength, power, and dexterity. Although it increases the damage taken, the boost is significant in the early game.
"Buzz—"
With the resonance of magic.
Xia Tong suddenly felt the scenery in front of her reverse, as if gravity had been stripped away.
Everything turned upside down, and he fell back into that dark, sealed space.
As soon as Xia Tong entered the long-sealed prison, she immediately felt a bone-chilling cold rushing towards her.
Soon, a highly recognizable figure appeared before us.
He was extremely tall, with disproportionately long limbs, a gaunt face, and a gleaming Samir knife in his hand.
Samir's ancient hero.
"Ring ring—"
'
Xia Tong dared not be careless and directly shook the Soul Summoning Bell to summon the World Knight Ruthel.
Then he took the Blue Dew Holy Grail bottle and poured a whole bottle down his throat to replenish his energy.
Then, he rang the summoning bell again, summoning the lost knight Ingwell to his side.
After summoning Ingwell as well, Xia Tong felt dizzy and her mental energy was exhausted.
Summoning such high-level ashes can certainly provide a significant boost to combat power, and it can also replenish focus points by using the Blue Dew Holy Grail Bottle.
However, the weariness and emptiness deep in one's soul are unavoidable.
Xia Tong Shinai poured another drop of blue dew from the Holy Grail bottle, forcibly suppressing her discomfort, before slowly raising her staff.
Xia Tongqi's move was a test.
"Giant Gorilla Stone!"
A large blue magic bullet shot out.
However, Gu Yingxiong's response surprised Xia Tong.
He simply slid to the side.
Just like gliding on ice, it effortlessly dodged the high-speed flying magic gravel with an extremely eerie and elegant posture.
"Holy shit!"
Xia Tong couldn't help but swear.
The other party's nonchalant attitude reminded him of the perverted apostle under Galid's divine mandate.
The same lithe waist, the same elegant evasion.
Facing Xia Tong and the other two, Samir's Ancient Hero began to slowly move to the side.
Every step he took brought Xia Tong an extreme sense of pressure, as if he were toying with his prey.
Ruthel didn't move; she held up the Eclipse Shield, steadily protecting Xia Tong in front of her.
However, the lost knight Ingwell was the first to launch an attack.
He brandished his halberd, creating a whirlwind, and charged forward bravely.
Seeing Ingwell charging towards him, Samir's ancient hero finally slowly raised his oddly shaped long-handled dagger.
Thick ice had formed on the blade, and there were some menacing spikes on it.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound.
