Chapter 369

After casting the spell, Cade's mana went berserk.

Because he practiced blood magic, mana was mixed with his blood most of the time. Thus, his whole body instantly turned red, and his veins bulged as his blood flowed crazily in his body.

Cade hoped that Negri would save him, but Negri was still sitting there and reading.

After a moment of despair, Cade felt that something was wrong. Although the mana going berserk made him uncomfortable, he didn't feel the danger of death.

Moreover, he felt that the mana in his blood was disappearing bit by bit, and his veins were becoming 'tough', as if they had the ability to contain mana and could bind it within them.

Even under the effect of his veins, the surrounding mana tide's ability to affect him was getting weaker and weaker. When he arrived at his destination, it was no different from usual.

His veins had completed their evolution. This kind of understanding appeared in Cade's heart. He didn't have this ability before, so it could only be that Negri helped him.

Negri closed the book, got out of the carriage, and looked up at the sky. There was a beautiful aurora there, which was a phenomenon caused by mana distortion.

"Do you want to go in with me?" Negri got out of the carriage and looked at Cade. This was the second time that Negri had spoken after inviting him to be his coachman.

"Another test?" Cade gradually understood the style of the existence that he was relying on. Everything was a test, and if he could pass the test, he would receive benefits. If he couldn't pass the test, he didn't know what would happen, but he was sure that it wouldn't be good.

"It's full of danger inside. If I go in, it's very likely that I will die. Should I follow the previous tests and grit my teeth and follow?" Cade was thinking, but he knew that he couldn't think for too long. Hesitating for a long time before giving an answer to a superior's question was an extremely poor performance.

"I won't go in, Lord Negri. I have a clear understanding of my own abilities," Cade said after serious consideration.

"Then wait for me here. You can take a look at the book I just read." Negri tidied up his attire and walked towards the center of the mana tide.

Cade heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he made the right choice. If he was blinded by his previous gains and ignored the absolute danger, then he would be foolishly playing with his life.

'Negary 'liked smart people.' Cade picked up the book that 'Negary' left on the carriage, reading through the knowledge of the Dao of Magic, he understood that this was one of his benefits. By obtaining this knowledge, he would be able to further improve his magic.

In front of him was a very ordinary library. There were a few carriages parked in front of the entrance. By looking at the emblem on the carriage, Negri could roughly determine who was attending the Mana Banquet.

There were two requirements for the third night of the Mana Banquet. The first was the invitation. Apart from his own people, most people who wanted to get an invitation had to have a certain reputation or get an invitation through other channels. For example, the people from the House of Mages who got an invitation but didn't want to come.

The second hurdle was the short journey to the library. Not to mention the Mana Riot brought about by the Mana Tide, there were also the hidden tricks of various competitors along the way.

For example, as soon as' Negary 'reached the entrance of the library, he noticed that there were over 10 curses hidden in the short distance between them. If he was careless, he might not die, but he would at least be heavily injured and unable to participate in the banquet later on.

Negri stood in front of the door and looked at the knocker of the library. It was the head of a ferocious beast. The beast's eyes were closed, and between its sharp teeth was a copper ring.

When Negri reached out his hand, the ferocious beast's eyes suddenly opened. The metal material instantly came to life, and the crisscrossed teeth opened wide to bite Negri.

The sharp teeth once again made a crunching sound. Obviously, this kind of trick couldn't fool Negri. Negri grabbed the copper ring and knocked it hard on the beast's head twice. After that, he let go of his hand.

The door slowly opened. A barefoot little girl was standing behind the door. Her little face was expressionless. It was Akasha Allenz, whom he had met in the Grand Library.

Akasha bowed slightly when she saw Negri. Then, she tilted her head and looked at Negri. Her originally expressionless face was now frowning, as if she was puzzled about something.

"She's that sensitive?" Negri was slightly surprised. Now that he was wearing Negri's skin, his identity had changed. This change was hidden under Negri's real name. Although Akasha wasn't sure, at least she had some suspicions.

After his evaluation of Akasha had improved, Negri took out a bookmark-like card. This was the invitation to the Mana Banquet. He walked into the library and then into the Grand Library. Obviously, on the night of the Mana Banquet, the entire Grand Library had overlapped with the library.

Negri raised his head and saw the seemingly endless floor and endless books. Akasha was leading the way, and the other side of the Grand Library opened up to Negri.

The entire marble floor turned away layer by layer, revealing a spiral staircase that spiraled downward.

Following Akasha's lead, Negri walked up the spiral staircase. On both sides of the staircase, there were also many strange objects hanging on the walls. Some were processed specimens of living creatures, some were magical objects, and some were indescribable objects.

Negri found the corpse of a male elf hanging on one of the walls. The upper half of the elf's body still retained the appearance of a normal elf, extremely elegant and handsome, but the lower half of his body had already turned into tentacles. He had suffered the effects of Life Bearer's attack.

"These half-infected creatures usually only appear during the invasion phase. After that, all living elves were cursed by the Seven Gods. Does this mean that the Great Magus came to the Moon Tree world at that time?" Negri tried to gather information about the Great Magus from these items.

"If you want, you can take them" Akasha suddenly spoke up, still looking at Negri. She seemed to have become even more doubtful: "This is the rule of this place. As long as you have the ability, you can take these items away. Of course, each person only has three chances"

"There's no need" Negri replied. These items were all connected to the entire Grand Library, so taking them away would only trigger an attack from the Grand Library's defense system. If they could endure it, they would be able to take the items, but if they couldn't, they would be courting death.

If Negri really wanted to take them, he could, but there was no need for him to do so.
