Chapter 45 You are a sweet and soft kitten
With everything ready, Luo Lan walked to the blue opening in the tomb's ceiling, bent her knees slightly, and prepared to jump.
But halfway through charging up his power, he stopped and looked down at his heavy armor.
[Heavy Armor Mastery] allows Luo Lan to swim normally while wearing full-body heavy armor, but what happens after he finishes swimming?
The gaps between the dozens of kilograms of metal armor plates were filled with underground river water mixed with sewage from the sewers. Just thinking about it made Luo Lan feel inconvenienced.
Just as I was hesitating, Victor's synthesized voice came from my mind:
"Suggestion: If you don't want to get your equipment wet, you can use the [Storage Space] to store it first."
Luo Lan asked in confusion:
"Storage space?"
"Explanation: The Holy Kingdom's standard magical cross pendant left by Roland contains a ten-cubic-meter storage space spell. Activate it using mental power."
After listening to Victor's explanation, Luo Lan reached inside her breastplate and took out the cross pendant.
[The Magic Cross Pendant? Is that what you mean?]
Luo Lan channeled his spiritual energy into the pendant, and the pale white glow on the silver surface of the cross flowed between his fingers.
Consciousness was suddenly pulled into a pure white space.
Inside the 10-cubic-meter cube, all four sides are smooth, without any seams, and it is pure white.
In the corner were a few bags of dry food and a small pot of water.
There was also a linen bag half full of coins, mostly copper coins, with a few silver or gold ones scattered among them—Roland's personal wallet, which was rather shabby.
Compared to the items in the storage space, the truly valuable things Roland left behind were the heavy armor and broadsword that he carefully placed in the coffin container.
Consciousness retreats back to reality.
Thinking about the food in his storage space, Luo Lan casually asked Victor a question:
"How long have these dry rations been stored? Are they still edible?"
Victor provided an immediate explanation:
"Definitely. The [storage space] is located in the subspace, where the flow of time is different from that of the material world."
Having understood, Luo Lan stopped talking nonsense.
With fingers gripping the buckles on the edge of the breastplate, the heavy armor was removed piece by piece from the body: breastplate, shoulder armor, arm armor, leg armor... Each piece disappeared into the ripples of space in front of the cross pendant.
The broadsword was the last to be swallowed; its hilt swayed in the air for a moment before disappearing.
A minute later, Luo Lan was completely naked except for the cross pendant around her neck, which swayed gently on her collarbone.
Directly below the blue gap, Luo Lan gathered her strength and exerted force with both legs.
With a body of gold rank, it leaped five meters into the air, passed through the blue light curtain, and plunged into the underground river.
The underground river water envelops the entire body, and the underwater breathing system operates automatically, extracting dissolved oxygen from the water.
Using [ultrasonic sensing] to weave the three-dimensional outline of the river in his mind, Luo Lan quickly swam back to the familiar sewer cave black pool by following the water flow.
The eternal flames in the rusty brazier burned quietly in the air. Luo Lan leaned over and dried the water droplets clinging to her body.
Retrieve the heavy armor from the [storage space] and put it back on piece by piece.
Emerging from the sewers, we stepped onto the circular stone staircase leading to the underground palace.
First floor, second floor, third floor... all the way up, it was unusually quiet.
After Luo Lan slaughtered all the living creatures in the underground palace, it became an empty shell.
The top floor, the laboratory of the old mage Ers.
Pushing open the heavy stone door where the arcane access control had disappeared, the smell of bottles and jars filled the room.
Previously, Luo Lan was worried about how to take this pile of alchemy materials with her when leaving the underground palace, but now with the [Storage Space], it's much more convenient.
Luo Lan swept along the wall, and the dark brown magic glass bottle, the lead can containing the remnants of the crystals, and the small urn of grayish-purple powder with a pungent mineral smell... were all thrown into the [storage space] and neatly stacked.
Hands were busy, and mouths were busy too:
"By the way, Victor, do you know anything about the owners of this laboratory, Erles and Roland?"
"Of course. This [Spirit Exorcising Dead Zone] outside the Rift Ruins was set up by Roland under my guidance."
After packing up all the bottles and jars, Luo Lan walked to the thick, hardcover book on the wooden table. The arcane glow still shone, and the pages turned silently on their own.
"Can you decipher the arcane and magical elements in this book? I don't quite understand them..."
"Yes. But if you lack a systematic framework of magical knowledge, you may not be able to understand it even after I explain it to you."
Luo Lan choked for a moment.
Isn't that how it is when you're studying on Earth? The teacher can explain the textbook clearly, but how much you actually absorb depends entirely on the individual.
[The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you... It seems I really am a Muggle right now.]
A little embarrassed, Luo Lan coughed and immediately changed the subject:
"Victor, what do you think of the old mage Erls's research? Is creating stitched corpses really a promising endeavor?"
"Simple. The idea is immature, and the experiment is rather crude."
Just as Luo Lan thought Victor was about to belittle the old mage, the synthesized voice changed the subject:
"However, its core theory, 'using order as a carrier to inherit chaos' and ultimately to the origin of creation, is similar to the principle of [corpse assembly]... Every era has no shortage of intelligent people."
Luo Lan keenly noticed that unfamiliar term she had never heard before:
"Assembled corpses? What's that?"
"Explanation: A unique innate skill belonging to our race. An advanced technology based on the reorganization of a stable energy field and material structure. You may learn it if you are interested."
Upon hearing the keyword "assembly" in the skill name, Luo Lan almost instinctively thought of his own [Condensation-Assembly].
[What a coincidence!]
Luo Lan picked up the arcane hardcover book from the table and put it into his storage space as well.
"I'm actually quite interested... but let's leave first."
……
……
Standing before the purple light curtain of the stone bridge cave, Luo Lan turned around one last time and took a deep look at the underground palace castle that had accompanied him through countless life-and-death battles.
The dimly lit underground palace corridors, the moss-covered cave walls, the damp sewers, the dark green underground river... were all left behind by Luo Lan in the end.
Without looking back, Luo Lan turned and stepped onto the exit leading to the surface.
The sky was bright.
The sun blazes over the open field.
The moment Luo Lan emerged from the dark, damp underground, the warm sunlight streamed down, causing her to squint for several seconds to adjust.
The boundless wilderness stretched out in all directions, and the wind rustled through the gray and yellow weeds.
Standing at the exit of the rift, Luo Lan took a deep breath.
Dry, warm, with the smell of earth and sun-dried grass. No dampness, no mold, no that pungent, putrid stench of stitched-up corpses that permeated the entire underground palace…
It's like an eternity.
Standing here for the first time, Luo Lan almost suffocated to death due to insufficient chaotic energy.
And now, I feel no discomfort at all.
The "Order Carrier" perfectly absorbed the chaotic essence within his body, no longer requiring a chaotic environment to sustain it.
Using the body of a "former hero," and with an ancient necromancer residing in his hands, he possesses the two "cheat-like" abilities of [Condensation] and [True Sight]. Luo Lan couldn't help but sigh:
[Finally, he's starting to look like a time traveler.]
"So, Victor, where should we go after leaving the Holy Kingdom?"
"Analysis: Judging from the distance, the distance to the Emerald Council or the Sky Empire is similar. However, since humans are classified as a lower race in the Sky Empire, the probability of being ostracized when weak is as high as 87%... Recommendation: Go to the Emerald Council."
Luo Lan nodded and took the first step, following the direction Victor had indicated in her mind.
The heavy boots trod on the cracked earth, crushing a few withered blades of grass:
"By the way, Victor, besides the Soul Stone, do you have a physical body that can move around outside? It feels a bit strange to keep talking to thin air."
"Yes. As long as the materials are suitable, I can create one or more bodies that I can control through [Dead Body Assembly]."
"Hmm... so your body can be used and manipulated at will?"
"Definitely. That's the theory."
"Then I think you're a sweet, soft, and adorable Ragdoll kitten!"
"What?!"
