Chapter 26: Red Moon Sorcerer - Medium

To be honest, Xu Le was a bit disappointed.

Meow!

A cat's meow interrupted Xu Le's train of thought. Xu Le looked in the direction of the sound.

Well, well, because it was hiding in the shadows, Xu Le could only see two bright green eyeballs.

But from the familiar gaze and meow, Xu Le tentatively asked:

"Black cat?"

The black cat walked out of the shadows, leisurely approaching Xu Le. It suddenly leaped onto Xu Le's shoulder and meowed again.

Meow!

"It's very dangerous now, why did you come to this place?"

At this moment, the handbook in Xu Le's hand began to warm up slightly.

Although the handbook didn't show any obvious changes, Xu Le clearly felt that warmth.

"What?" Xu Le looked at the black cat, wanting to ask if it was trying to remind him of something.

But the black cat just sat on his shoulder licking its paws, showing no intention of acknowledging Xu Le at all.

"Fine, I can't believe I was expecting a cat to give me answers. I must be crazy."

Xu Le shook his head self-mockingly, then his expression turned serious.

Looking at the handbook again, his expression became focused. As the familiar heat rose, the handbook changed accordingly.

On the very last page of the handbook, which was the cover page, new content appeared.

[Red Moon Sorcerer - Medium LV1 Promotion - Ritual Method, specific conditions as follows.]

LV1: Medium

Promotion conditions:

1. Consume ancient Yinduo products. The purer and stronger the energy, the higher the success rate.

2. Make 3 correct judgments during the ancient Yinduo dark tide.

3. Within 10 minutes after the third judgment, eat 169 grams of strange ashes, chew dry without drinking water.

4. Call upon the Red Moon or ancient Yinduo with your own blood to summon a spirit medium object.

5. Successfully make it say: "Hello, Lord Medium."

Then you can be promoted.

Seeing this, Xu Le clenched his fists tightly.

This might be the real answer!

Although the promotion conditions for Medium were, in some ways, more outrageous than those for Flame Secret Sorcerer.

But its advantage was that, except for the first condition, there were no lethal conditions.

Zhang Zhe had already said that these ashes had been refined by sorcerers to remove ancient Yinduo contamination.

So eating 169 grams of strange ashes would not be fatal.

As long as the steps were completed, one could become a sorcerer.

Right now happened to be the ancient Yinduo dark tide, and there were strange ashes here.

But all of this seemed too coincidental to be real.

So coincidental that Xu Le couldn't help but wonder, were these things really coincidences?

Or were they traps set up by certain people long ago?

Xu Le couldn't help but think of that Medium, Gan!

"Was everything arranged by that guy? What's he after?"

Xu Le didn't know if these things were done by Gan, and if it really was him, what was the meaning of doing this?

Had he seen Xu Le's abilities? Did this world also have things like body snatching?

Xu Le couldn't figure it out, and he remembered that Gan said he was also a Medium.

That is, a level 1 Red Moon Sorcerer.

So after Xu Le became a level 1 sorcerer, wouldn't the two of them be at the same level?

Meow!

The black cat suddenly called out, then looked up at the sky.

Xu Le also followed its gaze and looked up at the sky.

[Red Moon Calamity Descends]

As the Red Moon Calamity descended, Xu Le heard a piercing scream.

He looked at the sky in astonishment. That scream just now seemed to have come from above.

"Was it the Red Moon screaming? Or something else?"

Xu Le didn't know what it was, but he felt it must not be an ordinary thing.

He instinctively looked around, but the people around seemed unaware of this sound, as if only he could hear it.

"Is it coming?"

"Don't be nervous, the black tide isn't actually that scary."

Zhang Zhe said this, but he also gripped the weapon in his hand tightly.

"Is that so?" Xu Le was noncommittal.

The usual black tide wasn't much, it couldn't even break through the outer walls of the city.

Human steam equipment, guns, and cannons could repel the black tide.

In those situations, sorcerers didn't even need to take action.

But today's situation didn't need much explanation.

Before the Red Moon had risen and the black tide had descended, several scattered strange creatures had already appeared in the school.

Even worse, a teacher had been killed by a level 3 cicada witch.

If this happened normally, it would definitely be a major incident that would alarm the Night Watchers.

Now everyone seemed to have a default attitude towards the appearance of strange creatures.

After some people died, no one raised any questions.

Of course, some students asked teachers why strange creatures appeared in the school.

But the teachers' answers were either that they didn't know, or silent.

So all these circumstances pointed to one problem - tonight was definitely different from the previous black tides.

"Of course, the black tide is actually very easy to get through, and I'll stand in front of you."

Xu Le always felt that Zhang Zhe was raising a death flag for himself, but he still nodded along.

"I hope so."

...

Soon, gunfire and cannon fire came from the distant darkness.

It should be the guards on the outer perimeter of the lighthouse, who had already begun to battle with the strange creatures of the black tide.

The continuous artillery fire made this night seem particularly long.

Time passed minute by minute, second by second. Zhang Zhe looked at his wrist from time to time.

Just from this action alone, Xu Le could see the nervousness in the heart of this retired Night Watcher.

He still couldn't understand one question, the same old question.

Why was Zhang Zhe the only teacher? What were the school and the lighthouse hiding?

Had something happened at the lighthouse that required a large number of troops to be withdrawn? To the extent that even the defense of the Lighthouse University had been withdrawn.

"Xu Le, are you sleepy?" Zhang Zhe suddenly spoke.

After waiting for more than two hours, everyone was a bit tired.

It was now nearly 2:30 in the morning, probably the most fatiguing time for humans.

That's right, both the school and the Lighthouse Council had reminded the public and students.

Before the black tide came, they must rest well.

Even for those harmless black tides of the past, it was still the same.

But just like in his past life when people said you must review well before an exam, when it actually came to exam time, there would still be many people who let loose before the exam.

This world was the same.

Some people who had stayed up until this time were starting to nod off.

Zhang Zhe was naturally alert to this situation. The role of the Lighthouse Night Watchers was to protect the public.

When the public couldn't protect themselves, that's when the Night Watchers' role needed to be demonstrated.

Even if he was just a retired Night Watcher.

"Not sleepy."

Xu Le was quite calm, and wasn't lying. His gaze was fixed on the distance.

In his constantly distorting vision, he could feel intense battles happening in the direction of the city walls.

Cannon fire kept ringing out, it seemed the tide of strange creatures had been intercepted outside the city walls.

He actually wanted to see what the battle between the war machines of this steam age and the strange creatures was like.

But obviously now was not the time.

"Young people really have good energy!"

Zhang Zhe was clearly trying to make conversation.

But Xu Le was also a bit bored. He looked at Zhang Zhe, and before he could speak, he was interrupted by the cat on his shoulder.

Meow!

Xu Le instinctively looked at the cat.

He happened to see the classroom behind the cat. This glance made his scalp tingle!

[Bewitched by the Son of Ancient Yinduo, someone will mutate within 10 seconds.]

[Bewitched by the Son of Ancient Yinduo, someone will mutate within 14 seconds.]

"Teacher Zhang, behind you!"

Zhang Zhe was startled, then as if sensing something, he suddenly turned around.

The battle sword he had been gripping tightly was thrown out like a rapidly spinning windmill.

Ding!

A student who was mutating, with completely black eyes, was nailed to the wall by him.

Black blood splattered all over the ground.

But even though pinned to the wall by the battle sword, with half his body shattered by the sword, this student's writhing continued.

Black flesh pushed open the wound, spreading around like layers of black oil.

"Everyone back away!"

Zhang Zhe charged right in, towards the student who had already turned into black flesh.

"Wang Man, be careful!" Xu Le shouted at Wang Man.

Although Wang Man didn't understand why, she would absolutely listen to Xu Le's words.

Xu Le had saved her twice already. At least here, Xu Le was a more trustworthy presence than Zhang Zhe.

She quickly ran towards Xu Le. As she was running, Xu Le had already thrown the previously bent iron sword.

Thud!

The iron sword only hit the face of another mutated being, causing it a little hindrance, but unable to inflict effective damage.

Well, although Xu Le had straightened this iron sword, its warped blade simply couldn't generate enough impact force.

Moreover, Xu Le's own strength was worlds apart from Zhang Zhe's.

"Ah!~"

A series of screams rang out after Xu Le threw the iron sword. When strange creatures appeared nearby, a large crowd rushed out of the classroom in a panic.

After the Zion Steam Revolution, the industrial level of the entire Deep Blue rose to a new level, though the benefits in the lower city weren't particularly obvious yet.

But in the upper city, whether civilians or students, they hadn't experienced strange creature invasions for decades.

Usually, the black tide was dealt with by Night Watchers with guns, and the ordinary students in the upper city had little experience dealing with the black tide, heart energy, and strange creatures.

They could only follow their instinctive reactions, because in these people's eyes, the classroom was no longer safe.

But such actions undoubtedly alarmed Zhang Zhe greatly.

Both he and Xu Le understood one principle.

The classroom was the safest place. Even if strange creatures appeared in the classroom, it was still safer than outside.

Zhang Zhe's strength was actually very strong, a high-level swordsman, that is, a so-called level 2 expert.

Under normal circumstances, he had enough power and efficiency to kill the two level 1 strange creatures in the classroom.

Even if these creatures rushed towards the crowd, their strength could at most harm 1-2 students.

Most people would still be safe.

It was such a simple principle, yet only those who stayed behind understood it. The other part who ran out didn't figure it out at all.

And Zhang Zhe and Xu Le didn't have enough time to explain.

They didn't understand how dangerous the outside would be without Zhang Zhe's protection.

"Come back, everyone! It's very dangerous outside." Zhang Zhe shouted.

Some people hesitated, some stopped, but most people still rushed straight out the door.

Xu Le didn't stop these people, nor would he stop these people.

When humans are afraid, you can't expect them to make rational judgments. Xu Le had no way to save so many people, he was also helpless.

"This should count as a wrong prediction, right?"

Xu Le thought of the conditions for becoming a Medium, the second condition was 3 correct predictions.

"How suggestive! What counts as a correct prediction?

Does Zhang Zhe's warning just now count? Does throwing that sword count? Does letting Wang Man escape count?"

While Xu Le was pondering these questions, the people who had escaped had already crossed the defensive works and passed through the ground nails one by one.

They all had more or less wounds on their bodies, with some blood stains appearing.

These bloodstains, and their exposed flesh, might be the best catalyst for this disaster.

And while watching these people, distorted prompts kept appearing.

[Fear is the delicacy of all strange creatures, it will attract them here.]

[Heart energy exceeds Level 1 alert.]
