Chapter 39: Surging Evil

Translator: editor3 

“The immortal clan?”

The pupils of Usby and the others shrank.

They had read about the immortal clan in the secret book of the school.

It was said that at the age of 3,000, the immortal clan ran amuck on the earth and harmed the humans. Later, the first king of the Jones Kingdom, the founding king, started a magnificent war to eliminate demons, which took more than 100 years. After killing countless immortal clan members, the remaining ones were driven into the endless abyss.

Even if there were some missing immortal clan members, they were all eliminated in the next 2,000 years.

In the past few hundred years, there had been almost no trace of the immortal clan.

“This is the god of the immortal clan. I plan to use the rich gods in middle-earth to nurture the immortal clan. Do you know that our Golden Cloud Temple has a heavenly magic codex that can absorb the immortal clan’s power to cultivate?”

The black-robed mage’s eyes became extremely fiery.

If he could nurture the immortal clan and use the immortal clan’s power to assist in cultivating this heavenly magic codex, how fast would his progress be?

Breaking through to become an ultimate mage would no longer be an illusion.

It was precisely because of this plan that he had stolen a golden cloud token from the descendants of the immortal clan. He had betrayed the Golden Cloud Temple and escaped to the middle-earth.

Now that he had subdued the temple, he could use the temple’s resources and advantages to carry out his plan.

Hearing this, Usby’s breath quickened.

If he had the chance to become a supreme and honorable ultimate mage, what was the point of cultivating such an evil codex?

…

The inner room was where the most important codex was stored in the library. It even included some taboo codex, although the level was not particularly high.

In the end, Lei Luo ignored the old senior and walked in.

In the past few years, he had been reading the books here because they were more interesting.

What shall I read today?

Lei Luo’s gaze swept across the bookshelf and finally landed on a dark yellow codex that looked like it had been there for some time.

He picked it up and took a quick look. It was a pseudo-historical biography that described the history of middle-earth in a simple, mythical way.

He liked reading this kind of book.

Therefore, Lei Luo took the book and found a comfortable place to start reading.

“In the ancient era, the immortal clan rampaged through the middle-earth. Humans became the food of the immortal clan, and the immortal clan was the mortal enemy of humans… Some gods passed down magic books, which gradually freed humans from the tragic situation of being the food of the immortal clan… After dozens of powerful ultimate mages, humans finally stood side by side with the immortal clan. Three thousand years ago, the king of the Jones Kingdom issued a demon-killing order, and after a hundred years, he finally expelled all of the immortal clan into the endless abyss, creating a pure land for humans.”

Lei Luo looked at the information in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Information about the immortal clan was recorded in many ancient books. However, it was not very detailed, or it was mentioned by chance. There were very few detailed introductions about the immortal clan.

The formation of the immortal clan in this book was described in detail. It was unknown whether it was true or false.

According to the description, the nature of the immortal clan was that they had countless powerful abilities, which polluted certain creatures and turned them into the immortal clan. Some of them mutated into the wrath of the gods.

Whether it was the immortal clan or other clans, when they grew to a certain level, they would possess high intelligence.

Strictly speaking, the origins of the elves and the immortal clan were the same. However, the elves only liked to protect their forest homes and didn’t have much desire to advance, so they weren’t a big threat to humans, moreover, the elves would not use humans as food.

In the past, there should have been immortals in this middle-earth. Otherwise, there would not have been such information recorded.

Lei Luo guessed.

From the records he had read, the immortals had rarely appeared in the past few hundred years, which meant that they had died down a few hundred years ago.

“Senior, there was a master wizard from the palace here just now. He said that His Majesty is coming.” A voice of a student suddenly sounded from outside.

“Yes, I understand,” Lei Luo said.

…

Winter passed and spring came. The temperature gradually became warmer.

The morning light shone down, making the world feel warmer.

Lei Luo Lay on the chair, holding a book. He looked at Princess Wei, who was running not far away. He could not help but sigh at how good it was to be young and full of vitality.

It was not like he was an old man.

Princess Wei ran every morning. She trained every day whatever the season. She did not stop. However, after a while, she would go out to explore. This was her own decision.

With her strength as a second-level elemental mage, as long as she did not meet too powerful a mage, she would not have any problems.

If the king would not be at ease. He would definitely send high-level elemental mages to protect her in secret.

Lei Luo did not have to worry about anything. He had just become used to having Wei here, chatting by his side.

He had made a small paper figurine a long time ago. He had used magic to turn him into a real person, bestowing him with some simple wisdom.

He could help with the work.
