Tuck, seated in the high-backed chair, slowly blended into the shadows.
?Steam Ring??Light??Angel?.
A stream of information connected into a chain, surging and thundering through Tuck’s mind.
The secrets of Ramore were indeed shocking.
No wonder Count Ramore was willing to persist here for so many years.
After all, compared to other city-states deep in the Ashen Land,
the geographical location of Ramore Tower City-State wasn’t considered good.
Tuck lifted his head to look upward, toward the direction of Ramore Steam Tower.
“That secret… I wonder if I could touch it!”
As Tuck was contemplating,
Teacher Aubrey’s voice sounded again.
“Didn’t Hilor invite you to join the exploration of the Demon King’s Tomb?”
“Yes,” Tuck nodded.
“Hilor is the most proud student of Ramore, she’s very intelligent, and more importantly, her strength is formidable.”
“As far as I know, no one dares to set foot in the tempting piece of cake that is the Demon King’s Tomb just yet.”
“But we are all aware that those Dark Sun Believers hidden among the crowd are definitely coveting the Demon King Seal.”
“After all, the Demon Sequence is inherently compatible with the contamination of the Dark Sun.”
“There will surely be someone scheming in this affair.”
“Although…”
Aubrey looked at Tuck.
“You possess the keen sense to perceive your enemies.”
“But there are always things that exist beyond your perception.”
“So when you participate in the action at the Demon King’s Tomb, you must be careful.”
“Dark Sun’s believers are certainly hidden among them.”
Tuck nodded earnestly.
“Yes, Teacher Aubrey, I remember.”
Tuck was originally set on the action at the Demon King’s Tomb.
Engaging with the second layer to develop better was the critical point.
Whoever dares to obstruct it must die.
Aubrey scrutinized Tuck for a while and then slowly praised.
“For someone your age to have such incredible talent, while rare, is not unheard of.”
“But, to have such a humble heart is even rarer than a talent like yours.”
Having said that, Aubrey pulled out a Transcendent Storage Bracelet.
An Undead Crow at his side carried it and laid it beside Tuck.
“Inside are the materials for the advancement of a Steam Wizard.”
“Of course, Wizard Traits and the like you’ll need to prepare on your own.”
“Remember… only when the ecology is stable enough can you promote.”
“Otherwise… the position in the Steam Sequence will cause a tearing damage to the Wizard’s ecology.”
If it were any of his other apprentices or disciples, Aubrey certainly wouldn’t be so confident.
But Tuck,
The one who alone killed a genius from the Evil God Organization and even blew the Evil God altar to the
sky.
Allowing him to act on his own, the results would only be better.
“Thank you, Teacher Aubrey!”
Feeling the coarse, cool, yet comforting Transcendent Storage Bracelet,
Tuck stood up and bowed solemnly to Aubrey.
….
Outside the cavern, Armanti, somewhat curious, occasionally peeked inside.
The meeting with the others hadn’t taken too long,
Yet Tuck had been talking alone with the teacher for almost half an hour.
“If Tuck becomes the teacher’s formal disciple, he’ll definitely be the top disciple, and might even inherit the Undead Tower in the future.”
Taniru, on the other hand, was inspecting a small iron box.
It contained plenty of shadow material needed by her as the Night Priest.
And these materials were also the reward for guarding the Undead Rift tirelessly these past days.
Almost 150 Magic Gold in value, it was quite a decent income.
While Armanti was lost in her thoughts,
Tuck, who had been deep in contemplation, came walking out.
“Tuck, what’s wrong?”
Armanti asked curiously.
“What else could happen? The Ramore Steam Tower can’t hold on much longer, at most another half a month; Ramore is done for.”
The reply came from Taniru, who was standing beside him.
“What? How is this possible!” Armanti was taken aback.
Tuck glared at Taniru before comforting Armanti.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense.”
“The pollution and erosion of Ramore have been brought under control, and besides, there are strong figures from St. Land here to help.”
“Does that mean Ramore is okay?” Armanti looked over.
“With so many people helping, Ramore… can at least hold out for another month and a half,” Tuck declared confidently.
Armanti: “…”
Nowadays, Armanti’s ability to accept things had changed compared to before.
Combining the many encounters of this period with the words Teacher had spoken earlier and the numerous tasks arranged,
And with the guidance of what Tuck and Taniru had said,
She gradually began to understand that it was probably true.
After collecting her thoughts, Armanti then looked towards Tuck.
“These past few days, I have gathered quite a few materials with undead and shadow attributes.”
Having said this, Armanti took out a black metal box.
“Inside here are roughly half of the materials I’ve collected during this time, most of them are death attribute materials, and a few are shadow materials.”
“Materials of death and shadow.” Tuck’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
“These are excellent materials for transcendent alchemy.”
Materials with a shadow attribute, naturally, there was no need to say more, as Tuck’s rune shadow ring staff needed these materials.
And the value of a “death attribute” was no less.
It could enhance the damage attribute of the rune shadow ring staff.
The “death attribute” was one of the most direct attributes to increase damage.
Tuck took the small iron box, and his spiritual perception bloomed forthwith.
The materials inside were almost crammed to capacity.
He roughly estimated no less than 800 magic gold, perhaps even 1000 if it was more.
Guarding the Undead Rift Passage, this harvest was indeed astonishing.
Tuck put the iron box into his storage bracelet, while taking out a fist-sized piece of material containing the essence of a leader-level ghost’s dragon crystal bone.
When he had killed that level 28 skeletal leader, Tuck had taken this core material into his possession immediately.
After all, there were too many prying eyes at the time, and someone might not have clean hands.
“Keep this safe,” Tuck said as he stuffed the leader-level undead dragon crystal bone into Armanti’s hands.
“This is too valuable, I’m afraid…”
But Tuck gave her no chance to argue.
“We may all have to leave Ramore soon. Outside, without some powerful methods, you simply can’t survive.”
“Besides, even if I kept the material, with my undead talent, it would be a pure waste.”
“In your hands, this material can be utilized to its greatest value.”
In the end, Armanti accepted the material, and though her smile was tinged with lightness, it couldn’t hide a hint of gloom.
“I should get busy then,” Armanti waved and turned, disappearing into the darkness.
Watching Armanti leave, gradually fading into the deep darkness,
The voice of Taniru began to rise slowly.
“The girl is a good one, but it’s a pity she’s met with unfortunate company.”
Tuck took a deep breath, looked over, and said slowly,
“Tonight, let’s have lamb for dinner!”
Taniru’s expression instantly looked as though his tail had been stepped on.
In this period, Tuck had been behaving too normally, making Taniru subconsciously forget that this guy was a thorough demon.
“You’d better get ready, teach me the basics of alchemy as quickly as possible.”
“Otherwise… believe me, you won’t like what follows.”
After speaking, Tuck walked forward.
That figure intertwined with shadows looked eerily like a demon.
Taniru, deflated by half, followed along.
Now, the Ramore aboveground was likely already in a state of conflict with the Dark Sun.
Beneath the ground, the situation was rampant with skeletons, Black Mice, Kobolds, and Goblins.
In the short term, there was no escaping it.
As the reputation of “Taniru” had spread,
The hidden belivers of the Dark Sun Church would likely rush at him with crazed fervor, ready to perish together at the first opportunity.
By following Tuck and teaching him alchemy, there was still a slim chance to survive.
