The Death List Novel - Chapter 120

Chapter 120 The Mystery of the Crystal Mirror
Qin Lun didn’t allow the Evil Dagger to absorb all the souls, leaving behind 74 points of the Spirit Ball of Resentment.

After the quality of the dagger’s remnant soul increased from 100 to 200, there were no further changes. He estimated that if the dagger were to undergo another qualitative change, it would most likely reach a four-digit Soul Forsaken quality, that is, a Thousand Person Slash. Even with the remnant soul of the resentment soul ball, the Evil Dagger still had a long way to go before the Thousand Person Slash. It was better to leave the resentment soul ball for the trade.

The Evil Dagger of a Hundred People Slash was already equivalent to a purple to dark gold equipment, and it was the weapon that accompanied him all the time. It was the last barrier of life left behind by the murderer demon.

Putting away the Evil Dagger, Qin Lun checked the body data in the death list. The last time he strengthened his body, it wasn’t an all-round increase. It was only a partial increase given by the Broken Star System based on his battle performance in the Illusory Demon World.

At this moment, Qin Lun’s body stats changed to 80/100 Longevity Soul, 185 HP, 225 Energy, 11 Explosive Force, 11 Agility, 12 Constitution, and 15 Perception.

Perhaps it was because he had been using the FN-500 in the Illusory Demon World for a long time, his energy and perception had increased the most, followed by his physique and health. As for explosive power and agility, they had almost stagnated. Each of them had only increased a little, and it was better than nothing.

After sitting cross-legged on the bed and pondering for a while, Qin Lun swept all the items into his storage space, instructed Didi downstairs, and walked out to the auction house two blocks away.

After arriving at the auction house, Qin Lun deposited the dark gold helmet in the auction house and set a starting price of 150,000 broken crystals. He also marked the BOSS level monster from the mission world below the equipment.

The starting price of dark gold equipment was usually 50,000 broken crystals. The price he set was not the starting price, but the top price. As soon as the other apostles read the price and the description, they immediately knew that the equipment auctioneer was interested in an interview.

Normally, this was also a necessary procedure for selling dark gold equipment. Unless there were extremely limited dark gold equipment like the FN-500, few apostles would directly exchange dark gold equipment for shattered crystals.

After setting up the Dark Gold Helmet, Qin Lun threw the Petrified Demon Eye, the Complete Monster Book of the Low Demon World, the Illustration of Mord’s Research Specimens, and the Illusory Demon Wind and Wind Record into the auction house. These items weren’t worth much, and together they were worth several thousand broken crystals.

After cleaning up these things, there weren’t many things that Qin Lun could sell. Apart from the equipment he needed, there were only the Soulgrudge Ball and the Immunity Token left.

The 74 Soul Remnant Points of the Soulgrudge Ball were not easy to estimate. They could be sold or retained. Actually, as long as an apostle possessed a Life Slaying Legacy, it wasn’t difficult to gather a Soul. However, it was troublesome. 74 Soul Slaying Points might require killing hundreds of ordinary people to gather enough Soul Slaying Points.

As for the immunity token, Qin Lun planned to sell it this time. Immunity tokens can exempt you from a single kill penalty or promotion failure penalty. Of course, this is only limited to low magic worlds and low-level promotion.

Originally, Qin Lun intended to keep this item for his own use, but now he found that his equipment and skills were too weak, so he could only sell it. However, this wasn’t a good thing to sell. Middle and high class apostles didn’t need it. Low class apostles didn’t pay too much for it because it wasn’t a necessity.

Unless one could find an apostle who was about to be transferred to another profession, the price of a Dark Gold item would be more or less the same.

After pondering for a while, Qin Lun used the projector to record the introduction of the exemption token, and then entered it into the display field. The display bar of the auction house was not used for auction equipment, but for displaying special items. Generally speaking, it was an equipment item that was difficult to estimate the value of an exemption token and had a special purpose.

Using the exhibition booth required a high rental fee. Qin Lun had only set up the booth for three days. If no one wanted it, he would simply not sell it. After coming out of the auction house, he immediately walked towards the training ground.

After paying 500 broken crystals, Qin Lun walked into a training ground. This was a swordsmanship arena, and the room was relatively spacious. Other than the weapons racks around, there were no other weapons. However, he did not rent this swordsmanship arena to train in swordsmanship, but to conduct an experiment.

Qin Lun took out the crystal mirror magic array from his storage space and slowly opened the scroll. The four small and one large circular symbols on the scroll formed a simple magic array. After the scroll was opened, the magic array slowly lit up with a mysterious light.

As Qin Lun’s fingers touched the magic array, the magic array immediately transformed into countless silver symbols that flew into the body of Laws along his fingers. A silver pattern that looked exactly like a magic array slowly formed in his consciousness.

Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat. He raised his right hand and spread it out. A silver pattern flashed in his consciousness, and a similar magic array appeared in front of his palm.

This crystal mirror magic array was about half a square meter in size, and it was also made up of four small and one large circles. It was like a small shield. The entire magic array was sparkling and translucent, like a silver-rimmed glass mirror.

“Bang!” Under Qin Lun’s command, the crystal mirror array shattered like a real mirror, and countless fragments shot forward.

This was an elemental explosion from the Crystal Mirror Magic Array. The magic array just now was made up of wind elements. Those fragments were actually countless tiny wind blade lenses. The range of an elemental explosion was only about half a meter. If the distance exceeded, the wind blade would disintegrate into wind elemental energy again, leaving behind only a powerful thrust.

Qin Lun closed his eyes and pondered, carefully experiencing the bits and pieces of the spell he had just cast.

“It should work!” After a while, Qin Lun muttered to himself, opened his eyes, squatted down slightly, and struggled to jump up.

Qin Lun jumped up more than a meter and began to descend. At this moment, his eyes lit up and a crystal mirror magic array appeared beneath his feet.

“Bang!” The Crystal Mirror magic array exploded under Qin Lun’s feet, and the elemental explosion shot him out like a rocket booster.

Dang! Before Qin Lun could react, his head smashed into the thick ceiling and fell off.

After a while, Qin Lun sat up on the floor and touched the big swollen bump on his head. A trace of excitement appeared in his eyes.

“I wasn’t mistaken. The mage who developed this crystal mirror spell didn’t want to use it as a defensive spell. Instead, he used it on himself as an acceleration and evasion spell!”

When a mage developed a magic shield, even if it didn’t cover his entire body, it would still block a certain direction of his body. The Crystal Mirror Magic Array was only the size of a small round shield, and its protective area was too small. It was hard to imagine a mage using this magic as a defensive shield.

“Of course, even if this spell avoids the damage distance of the wind blade, its explosive thrust is not something a weak mage can withstand. Its true user should be a mo warrior with a strong body!”

He lowered his head and looked at his ragged trousers and bloody calves. This was because he had not been able to control the distance of the elemental explosion and had been scratched by the wind blade.

Qin Lun’s eyes flashed. Just because the scroll had turned into a skill did not mean that he had completely mastered the crystal mirror magic array. Normal apostles would need thousands of training to use it as a speed-shifting spell without harming themselves.

However, there was no need for him. As long as he appropriately input the magic array data and his jump ability into the combat model, he could quickly master this skill.

Half a day later, Qin Lun held the Evil Dagger in his left hand and the Sword-like FN-500 in his right hand. He stood there with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes again, his bright eyes lost their focus and were at a loss.

Qin Lun kicked the ground with his right foot and flew forward. A crystal mirror magic array suddenly appeared half a meter behind him. “Bang!” The elemental explosion struck his body like a giant hammer, causing him to sweep across the entire room like a sharp arrow, and the distance of tens of meters flew by in a flash.

“Ta!” Facing the wall in front of him, Qin Lun stepped on the wall and rushed to the roof. Right at this moment, a crystal mirror magic array appeared on his right. Qin Lun flipped his body, stretched out his foot, and stepped on the crystal mirror magic array, leaping up parallel to the ground.

“Bang!” As soon as he jumped out of the crystal mirror array, the elemental explosion exploded again.

With the appearance of a crystal mirror, Qin Lun flew like a pinball on the swordsmanship arena, leaving behind afterimages of the sword and dagger in his hand. The trajectory of the movement changed from front to back, from left to right. The changes were bizarre and impossible to predict.

After a few flashes, Qin Lun’s eyes regained their clarity. He staggered a few steps and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. All the muscles in his body involuntarily trembled slightly.

“With my current energy, I can only use the Crystal Mirror Magic Formation four times in a row. Furthermore, my physical fitness cannot afford the sudden change of direction!” Qin Lun felt unbearable pain all over his body, and swollen purple spots appeared beneath his skin. This was subcutaneous congestion after his muscles were torn apart.

Repairing his body cost Qin Lun 500 broken crystals, but it was not worth mentioning compared to today’s harvest.

Originally, Qin Lun wanted to use another low-level stress training scroll in the dojo, but he was too tired mentally, so he had to go home first. One had to know that the Law Body could be recovered with broken crystals, but the aftereffects left behind by the body’s injuries could not be eliminated immediately.

When Qin Lun woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

“Master, are you awake? The projection pager at home has several messages for you!” Seeing Qin Lun go downstairs, Little Goblin, who seemed to have just returned from outside, immediately greeted him.

“What are you doing these days?” Qin Lun took the panel-shaped projection pager and asked casually as he checked the message.

“I… I’m doing business!” Didi’s sharp ears trembled and he said carefully while stirring his fingers.

“Oh, doing business … huh? Doing business?” Qin Lun turned around curiously.

“Yes, Master, I earned some living expenses from the city points and broken crystals you left behind!” Didi flashed his big eyes and handed Qin Lun his servant’s identity token.

“Not bad, not bad!” The corner of Qin Lun’s mouth twitched as he looked at the 12 urban points and nearly 2000 broken crystals on the identity token.

He gave Didi a total of 10 urban points and 2000 broken crystals for living expenses, but the two of them lived in the Corner of the Abyss for nearly 20 days. Adding this part of the living expenses, Little Goblin seemed to have earned nearly 5 urban points and 1,000 broken crystals, which was about 50% of his profit.
