   Chapter 999 Sixty-six. The Book of No Name

  22:00

  【Dear Your Excellency Lu Li:】

  [About the anomaly you are concerned about, it stems from the beholder's remnant shedding to the Gauss Basin, causing strange coveting nearby. The family and the esoteric religion are also ready to face the impact without help, thank you for your concern, and look forward to your visit. 】

  【——The second patriarch of the Lins family, Hendrick Loren real name Lins】

  …

  【Results of investigation: The Gauss Basin was besieged by the surrounding strange anomalies, the servants of the beholder worm and the order were closed, and a more detailed investigation could not be carried out. Because the commission is not fully completed, this commission will only charge 60% of the fee]

   Two replies were delivered one after another, piecing together the truth of the anomaly.

  【The beholder worm fell off and sloughed off, causing a strange voyeur, besieging the Gauss Basin, and the beholder worm and its servant cult family are resisting the invasion]

  Lu Li borrowed Chris' tutor's office to write down the survey results and threw the answers into the fireplace.

  The paper was reduced to ashes in a blood-red flame.

   "My dear, I knew you could do it." Teacher Chris's lazy voice came from the red wine glass placed on the table. "I think you've passed the test. Curse the title controller... that's why you came to the academy, right? You can get in touch with Professor Alexey Hoxha, who serves as the cursed title controller, and you can really get access to this kind of knowledge, But if I learn how to be in control, I have a better person."

   "Go to the swamp hut, the living dead who climbed out of the abyss are the best teachers. There is still a crop of fruit waiting for you to harvest."

The    wine glass stopped making noises, and Lu Li, who was prompted, turned around and left the alchemy office.

   knock knock --

  Professor Alexey Hoxha's office door was pushed open.

   "Your Excellency Lu Li?"

  Professor Alexey Hoxha, who wears single-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, looks at the figure who caresses his hood in surprise.

   After a few minutes, knowing that Lu Li met the preconditions and the purpose of his visit, Professor Alexey Hoxha walked around the desk and stood on tiptoe to take down the heavy and dusty books from the height of the bookshelf.

   "Call—"

Blowing off the dust and wiping it with a handkerchief, Professor Alexey Hoxha placed a bottle of potion in front of Lu Li: "Please stop if you feel uncomfortable while reading, the chaos potion can relieve the discomfort and onset, it is best if conditions permit. Read in a supervised area."

   He observed Lu Li with great interest: "I know you're in the senior year, but I thought it would take at least a month to come, but I didn't expect it to be so soon..."

   "Luck."

   The fact is that Lu Li is lucky, whether it takes time and energy to "solve the incident" or "investigate the incident". Compared with "solving the incident", "investigating the incident" is more suitable for Lu Li. And in the Gaussian Basin, Lu Li happens to have an "ally".

   "Is this okay?" Lu Li asked.

   "Of course, as you can see no one has been here for a long time."

   has nothing to do with the unpopularity of the cursed title. In fact, the cursed title is very popular - no need for hard work and effort, no need to repeat and take risks, as long as you have the cursed title and become the master, you can leap to the pinnacle of the power of human civilization.

  The cursed title is like an artifact obtained by the protagonist in a fantasy novel. Even if a beggar picks it up, it will instantly transform into a nobleman——No one doesn’t like getting something for nothing.

  Though people ignore that having a cursed title and being a master is not easy.

  The absence of students for a long time is related to the tutor system. Students with cursed titles are seen by their mentors as "seeds" who know how to cultivate "seeds" rather than coming to the cursed title administrator to learn how to get started.

   And, it has something to do with Professor Alexey Hoxha some kind of secret.

   "I'm a mute." Professor Alexey Hoxha told Lu Li the truth frankly.

   sounds insulting, but in fact "dumb" is envied as well - like a cursed title. Blessed and cursed at the same time.

   The official name of the self-deprecating mute species is the ignorant, which means: one who ignores spells.

   They are naturally resistant, or dull, to radiation, which allows a lot of radiation to brush past their slippery bodies.

   But pollution is radiation, and so is power.

   This allows the spellbreaker to avoid many pollutions, while also blocking the acquisition of mysterious power.

  Before the Giant Tree Academy was established, and Midnight City was as famous as the Wiener Freeze Harbor, people thought it was a blessing. And it became a curse after people started digging for the mysterious power.

The   dumbs have thus become self-deprecating or an insult to the deserters.

   He listened quietly, Lu Li opened the heavy book without the title, and revealed the truth that he had obtained so hard.

  【The cursed title symbolizes what you have done. A person who holds the title of [Hope Class] curse will not be evil, at least at some stage in his life. But we shouldn't be too demanding about it, the cursed title won't be taken back, and we're always changing - Currie LaVar]

The    title page is the motto of the first known master of the cursed title, Corey LaVar.

   Thirty-one human natures give Lu Li some of the qualities of a deserter—unknown books that usually cause discomfort after reading more than ten pages in a row have no trouble for Lu Li. After half an hour, Lu Li stopped reading. It wasn't the discomfort that bothered him, but the yawning Alexey Hoxha.

   "Are you leaving?"

   Alexey Hoxha raised his eyelids, and after receiving the answer, he blessed: "I hope to see you next time, you have become the master of the cursed title."

   Back in the lounge, Lu Li spent the next day reading this untitled book. The book was nearing its end when the phantoms began to emerge.

  The quiet night passed, and the next morning, Lu Li turned to the last page of the book.

  【We seem to be able to believe in cursed titles unconditionally - just as we are saving ourselves to survive, the world is doing the same. 】

  …

   Closing the book cover, Lu Li left the dormitory and headed to the swamp area with some kind of thought in mind.

   The twilight mist was surging.

  The earth and the dome are like shells, and the roots of the giant trees are like scallops.

  Lu Li came to the wooden house, where Silver Cross Sloan and Mildred Hampley stayed.

   Before learning to unleash the power of the cursed title, they led Lu Li to a pen that was not too deep, and several monsters were wrapped in spider chrysalis.

   "My memory... My old guy fell in the wooden house, can you help me get it?" Silver Cross Sloan patted his head angrily and asked Lu Li.

   Lu Li nodded, turned and walked towards the wooden house.

   "Lu Li has several cursed titles, but he is too rational to arouse emotions." Mildred Hampley sighed.

  Silver Cross Sloan's cloudy eyes stared at the back: "So we need a special way."

   As they watched, Lu Li opened the door.

  …

   The ink-stained quill was held in one hand and paused on the paper.

   "Is Mr. Lu Li right? Please sit opposite."

   The psychiatrist raised his head and gestured to the black-haired man standing in front of the door.

   There is a harbour outside the window. The gray and gloomy weather leaves only a silhouette of Rodster Harbor.

  The chimneys in the industrial area have been stopped for many days, but the fog still envelopes Belfast eerily.
