The Players and the Protagonist Want to Kill Me – Chapter 801

Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)

The contents of the third space ring surprised Xi Wei. They were skill scrolls imbued with strange magic.

Skill scrolls existed on the Cain Continent.

The Kalunka Empire was the first country to invent skill scrolls.

Similar to a direct transmission of cultivation techniques in the Cultivation World, skill scrolls contained the effects of skills.

However, these skill scrolls had a fatal flaw.

Take the topmost one, the Kalia Greatsword, for example.

The scroll depicted an azure Mana Sword.

After learning this spell, a mage could summon an Arcane Greatsword as light as nothing, allowing mages to possess close-combat abilities.

It was indeed a spell created by the Saint Lodia Empire royal family.

It was not only flashy but also practical.

Its prestige was much higher than spells like Fireball.

However, when this spell was inscribed into a scroll, a significant drawback emerged.

Any spell that could be inscribed into a scroll was a watered-down version, regardless of how it was learned.

Its power was significantly less than a spell learned through self-study and practice by a mage. This was because learning directly through a skill scroll skipped the process of comprehension and integration. Furthermore, one could use at most five scrolls, or it would cause mana disruption.

But this disadvantage seemed to be of no consequence to the Players.

No matter what they learned, it was neither the weakest nor the strongest version; they simply followed the path of the mean.

Unless they were willing to spend time diligently researching like Gou Fugui and Nobody Does Human Things.

However, the path of the mean was already more than enough for Xi Wei.

The medium power with which Players could wield these spells actually surpassed 50% of the mages in this world. After all, not every mage had elemental affinity as sky-high as Loli’s.

Previously, he had intended to force the elves of the Emerald Forest to teach the Players skills, but now it seemed unnecessary.

As a righteous knight, he would avoid holding a greatsword to the necks of a group of elves as much as possible.

Xi Wei flipped through the scrolls. There were a total of 276, which was more than enough to equip the Players, with surplus to spare.

These included some ranged spells such as Surprise Magic Gravel, Brilliant Stone Meteor, and Crystal Barrage.

However, these skill scrolls were definitely not enough to arm all the Players.

Each Player could use an unlimited number of scrolls. It seemed he would need to have a good chat with those alchemists in Kalunka later about their work benefits, social security, and the risks of refusal.

Britt Grizzly probably purchased these skill scrolls with the intention of arming his subordinate elves and bribing some core elves to consolidate his rule.

These skill scrolls were worth a fortune, and Britt Grizzly could not have started preparing them recently.

Given the elves’ stingy nature, it was estimated that it would take at least four to five years to accumulate them.

This meant that the old man had planned to usurp the throne long ago.

Finally, there was a strange book. Xi Wei did not examine it closely.

The cover of the book depicted some distorted shells and mollusks, which looked quite eerie. He planned to study it further when he returned to Winter City.

After inventorying the spoils and waiting for a moment, Lewenstein’s screams gradually subsided, and the flower bud in the sky slowly descended. The surrounding vine walls slowly retracted.

The Players outside craned their necks, finally able to see what was inside the vine walls.

“As expected, Britt Grizzly has met his end,” Nobody Does Human Things chuckled. Based on his understanding of the King of Winter, this magnanimous king had always adhered to the policy of eradicating all threats.

“A bet is a bet, Mo Yu. Send your wolf cubs over tonight to breed with mine.”

Mo Yu Hun Ben Zhen Jun looked bewildered. “But aren’t they all males?”

“You know nothing. There’s no true love between opposite sexes.”

At this moment, the giant flower bud opened, revealing a pale-faced Lewenstein and a refreshed World Tree, Eve.

Lewenstein was still tightly bound by vines, but small pink flowers bloomed all around him. Eve, with her girlish flair, tied a beautiful bow on Lewenstein’s head. She deliberately displayed Lewenstein in this state to everyone.

“Alright, the punishment is complete. You may leave now.” Eve waved her hand, and a thick vine rose from the ground with a boom, then directly launched Lewenstein into the air. After a spectacular parabola, Lewenstein landed precisely at Xi Wei’s feet with a “splat!” Eve-Yggdrasil’s figure slowly disappeared, and no matter how the elves called out to her, she did not respond. Although her nature was gentle and kind, she was utterly disappointed in the elves. She would continue to protect them, but she would never respond again.

“Ouch! Isn’t this Lewenstein?” Xi Wei put on an exaggerated smile and quickly helped Lewenstein up. “How did you get thrown out? Did the World Tree do anything to you?”

Lewenstein rolled his eyes in annoyance. How could Eve’s thrashing cause him pain? The little girl was just playing; letting her vent was enough. The screams were all part of the act.

“Don’t gloat, little Xi Wei,” Lewenstein said with a chuckle as his restraints were removed and his pair of light wings spread out behind him. “When I was messing around in the Divine Realm, I never suffered a loss at any god’s hands, not even from the God of Death or the God of Light. Look!”

The Angel of Fun then produced a vibrant green bra embroidered with exquisite flowers and butterflies. Judging by the marks on the bra, it was clearly not new.

This! What kind of “Oh my god!” was this!

“You…” Xi Wei’s eyes widened.

“Yes, it’s exactly what you think. Do you know why stealing divinity has never been heard of on the Cain Continent?” Lewenstein extended his hand, revealing a crystal floating in his palm. It was half gray and half golden. The golden crystal depicted a winged holy sword, while the gray one showed a hooded rat.

“As you can see, stealing divinity is my domain.” He retracted his godhead and smiled triumphantly. “Originally, thieves on the prime material plane should have believed in me, but since I never responded, I was as good as nonexistent. Later, they began to believe in the God of Deception or the God of Shadows, kekeke… I am an angel, so why would I want a bunch of thief followers? I still need to maintain some semblance of dignity.”

Xi Wei was dumbfounded and did not know what to say. Every time he thought he had reached Lewenstein’s limit, the latter would always break that limit with a laugh. It seemed he still had a long way to go on the path of shamelessness. Lewenstein’s realm was something he could only dream of reaching.

“Le! Win! Stein!” Suddenly, a furious, tender roar echoed from the direction of the World Tree. Countless green leaves spun in a strong wind, coalescing into Eve’s form. She stood there with a flushed face, covering her chest and glaring fiercely at the Angel of Fun.

“Enough talk, I’ll be leaving now. I’ll come to play with you again next time, little Xi Wei~” The Angel of Fun shivered, glanced at the enraged Eve, and then turned back to Xi Wei. Although Eve was still far away, endless vines had already stretched across space, extending towards them. Lewenstein was not panicked. He even provocatively waggled his backside at Eve before raising the green bra high with his holy sword, triumphantly transforming into a streak of light and gradually disappearing.
