The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 298

POSTED ON APRIL 21, 2022 BY JACK RUSSELL

Longjing Tea didn't expect Clarence to give so much information about another school and spells that he had not learned before.

Could he be that legendary type who enjoys going through strategies… No, going through dissertations?

Or are there some sort of paper journals or newspapers within the wizard circle?

After thinking for a while, Clarence answered, “Since you have a few friends, I would recommend the spell [Truce].”

“No, no, no. There aren't actually as many as 'a few'…” Longjing Tea complained.

Among this batch of players, only two were good old friends of his — Delicious Wind Goose and Wandering Child.

In a strict sense, the others would probably be regarded as his subordinate employees.

Hearing this, Clarence couldn't help laughing.

He obviously realized that his sense of humor was not quite suitable to be shown in front of students. Clarence then coughed a little to suppress his laughter and continued to explain solemnly.

“About this spell… It could forcefully separate the fight into two ends according to their factions. Your teammates would be pulled to your side, and your enemies would be pushed towards the direction away from you.

“After the separation, an air wall that can block attacks will form between the two groups. The strength and speed of the force and the flow and thickness of the air wall would differ depending on each person's strength.

“But this spell wouldn't change the arena, nor would it prevent the generation of another arena. So, you could first let your friends set up traps outside the battlefield. Then, you could use this Edict spell as you position yourself at the casting point in the trap or battlefield. That way, you could send all your enemies into the trap. This is quite a good combination, except that it is a little difficult to be used alone.”

Clarence chuckled and said, “Although I don't know much about Edict spells, I do know about the current mainstream system. For example, edict wizards produced by the Storm Tower in Austere-Winter Dukedom are particularly good at this kind of strategic warfare.

“The ability to manipulate space like this is the characteristic and advantage of the Edict School. This is because you guys can often master different degrees of space manipulation ability from the Bronze Rank to the Silver Rank. That is one or two levels earlier than other schools with space manipulation abilities such as Falteration, Idol, Shaping schools.

“If you're concerned about the fungibility of this school of magic, you can work in this area.” The elegant and easygoing wizard, who was wearing round-rimmed glasses, made serious suggestions for improvement.

“Thank you so much, teacher!” Longjing Tea responded quickly and respectfully.

He didn't even think that he would actually get some helpful advice.

It wasn't that he doubted Clarence's professionalism.

It was mainly that Clarence's temperament had always made Longjing Tea a little uneasy.

Clarence's temperament was the type who would immediately become invincible just by a quick reach to stroke his hair, throw his glasses, and change his hairstyle without any sense of disharmony.

Plus, Clarence's voice was vaguely similar to that of the hot blue man [1]…

Longjing Tea put aside these disturbing thoughts for now.

He changed the subject, “But, Teacher Clarence… Haven't you already finished your classes for this month?”

“Yep, but I still have something to do here hence tentatively moving next month's classes over to this month.”

Clarence nodded with a warm smile, “I have a curse vessel to make, but I lack some materials and influences. I've sent out a commission to look for them in various influence pools. I'll only be leaving after they have returned and I'm done making the curse vessel.

“Until their return, I'll come over to the library every day after class. If there's anything you would like to ask me, you can wait here until around this time… I'll pass by this place on my way to the eighth floor.”

“Thank you so much, Teacher Clarence.” Longjing Tea thanked him respectfully again, saluted, and left, “I shall be on my way with this book then.”

“Okay, remember not to go to bed too late.” Clarence nodded with a smile, his voice gentle and dignified.

After Longjing Tea left, he looked at Longjing Tea's back with interest.

…It's not like you have any ill will towards Black Tower. So what are you nervous about?

“But, about Elven Ruins…” Clarence smacked his lips.

I hope your friends are alright.

After all, the people who had gone to collect influences at the ruins this time are some unsophisticated blockheads.

Longjing Tea, who was completely unaware of Clarence's mind-reading, only felt the cold sweat dripping on his back after he had left the library.

He didn't dare to make any movements, show any expressions, nor dared to ask for details.

He was afraid that Clarence would detect something wrong and reveal the players' whereabouts at Elven Ruins.

He had just teased those fellows watching the stream being a hindrance. It would be funny if he himself caused unnecessary problems.

Longjing Tea was the type who didn't like being held back by others and hated even more to be one who held others back. So even if it were a team online battle game where everyone was defeated, he would be the only one from the crowd getting through each level seriously.

At the same time, he was always strict with himself, and he was also bluntly strict with others.

It was just that Longjing Tea had not met Soul Snatch wizard, hence still not having enough vigilance and attention in the face of Clarence.

In the face of ordinary people who had not completed Transcended advancements, the Silver Rank Great Wizards could read their thoughts without even having to cast any spell.

He had been walking all the way calmly towards his dormitory. After shutting the door, he finally opened up the forum and posted an update with great anxiety.

“—Urgent, urgent, urgent! It seems the team from Black Tower has already set off to the ruins! @Wandering Child @Wandering Child @Wandering Child.”

Quickly, Wandering Child replied, “Is the news confirmed?”

Longjing Tea: “I didn't dare to ask in detail as he was the big boss of Soul Snatch school. But he had sent more than one team to collect the [Influences]. So there is a high probability that some of them will head over there!”

Wandering Child: “I see then, take care of yourself. Watch out for Soul Snatch wizards!”

Longjing Tea: “Understood. I will not be turning off the live streams starting tomorrow, nor will I ask anything deliberately. After I'm done learning the skills, I will read some general geography and history books. Then, I will title the live streams according to the book titles and upload them directly to my personal space. If you have any information to inquire on, you can come to my space to check.”

Yiyi: “Okay.”

Jiu Er: “If possible, remember to help check information about demons… It's a little urgent.”

Longjing Tea: “No problem, I will try my best.”

After agreeing to the mission of collecting information, Longjing Tea let out a deep sigh. Only then did he gradually calm down.

His palms had been unknowingly soaked with sweat.

On the other hand, Annan had visited Old Vasily.

“…Your Highness, you want to make a curse vessel?”

Vasily frowned slightly, “It can be done, yes. But do you have any influence on you?”

“I still have two influences on me.”

Annan glanced at it and replied, “They are both low-levels. One is the 'Infinitely Overlapping Echoes' of the Mirror Realm, and the other is the 'One Step Ahead' of the Blade Realm. The one from the Mirror Realm is about to produce an echo… I don't know what these can do, so I came to you to ask for your opinion. I'm collecting materials and preparing to advance, so I've to suppress my nightmares' entries recently.”

“Infinitely Overlapping Echoes… Is it the influence of a new deity? I've never heard of this, and I'm not sure what it can do. But if it's just to prolong the influence…”

Vasily pondered for a while and quickly replied to Annan, “Let me then tell you about the capabilities of a basic ritualist first. If an influence is about to expire, you can add it to any ritual of deities from the same realm. At the end of the ritual, the influence's time limit is reset… In other words, the influence would have been depleted, and you will get a brand new influence. That way, you won't be pulled into a nightmare by the echo.

“This is how we stack and store influences on the body. Of course, the formula on how to use two or more influences to synthesize influences of other realms would be much more complicated…

“But 'One Step Faster' is a useful neutral influence. The Blade Realm is a neutral realm that is not controlled by any deity, so deities in realms such as 'murder', 'forge', and 'sword' can also generate 'One Step Faster'.

“'One Step Faster' can be used to make a handy one-off curse vessel — the Blade of Retaliation.”

Old Vasily laughed, “I already have the materials here, and I can make it now.

“Or… Do you want to try it yourself?”
