Chapter 421: Chapter 43: Knowledge! Candlefort Route_2

Akidina-Duwa nodded slightly and said, “Have you encountered any trouble recently?”

Dejin the Dragon Blood thought for a moment and said, “Those Slime Monsters are very dumb, they can’t find us at all. With them around, other monsters won’t come near here.”

“But recently our scouts discovered some mysterious bugs.”

Bugs?

Akidina-Duwa’s expression turned serious, “What bugs?”

Dejin the Dragon Blood recalled for a moment and said, “Very large beetles, they seem to be able to absorb nutrients from any substance, reproduce very quickly, our scouts have found their eggs. These monsters wiped out an Underground Shadow Monster.”

After speaking, he drew a larva pattern on the ground and said, “This is their larva, completely pale, insect eggs parasitize on the corpses of other creatures.”

Insect Race?!

Akidina-Duwa said solemnly, “Is there a corpse?”

Dejin the Dragon Blood nodded and said, “I had the little ones bring them over, the larvae were almost eaten by them.”

A few minutes later.

A pale larva was brought over, more than ten centimeters long. Akidina-Duwa glanced at it, took out a special Alchemy Marvel, activated it, and closed his eyes to mind transmit, “Lord Shawn.”

“The Kobold discovered a kind of unknown Insect Race.”

She reported everything she knew, and roughly ten minutes later, Shawn’s deep voice resonated through the mind transmission, “Tilbana Insect Race.”

“A branch of the Insect Race.”

“It should be from another world. I will send someone to pay attention to this matter.”

The meteor shower brought down not only Dragon Eggs but also some odd and strange things.

The Tilbana Insect Race is a branch of the ancient Insect Race, they are parasitic insects, reproduce rapidly, lack particularly powerful insect combat units, but their survival adaptability is very strong. They can reproduce a large number of larvae with just one corpse, and these larvae quickly hatch and evolve into forms such as combat beetles, assassin bugs, drowsy bugs, and egg-laying bugs.

After leaving enough food for the Kobold tribe, Akidina-Duwa and others quickly left.

They need to head to the Deep Pit Mine, to rendezvous with the monster trade group organized by Quinn-To and others. Currently, the Worm’s Nest is actively expanding outward, and the Insect People are digging deeper. According to the current digging progress, they might soon encounter the Evil Object deep underground.

Meanwhile.

At the distant Tower of Knowledge, Shawn’s figure was seated on the right side of a long table, surrounded by scholars in various colored robes. Their ages were generally quite advanced, with the youngest appearing middle-aged, Shawn being the only young individual present.

A few Sages appeared via projections, their bodies did not come here.

This is one of the legacy places of the Path of Knowledge.

However, due to the overwhelming power of the Path of Death, many geniuses of the Path of Knowledge have turned to the Path of Death, resulting in it being far weaker than the other paths. The decline of the Path of Knowledge is closely related to Candlefort in the Spirit Realm, because many mysterious knowledge left over from the Dark Era is sealed in Candlefort.

But there are too many indescribable powerful illusions there, making it difficult even for Legendary Powerhouses to delve into, let alone ordinary Casters to browse the ancient scrolls sealed in Candlefort.

“Ancient Elf Magic” and “Golden Scroll” are sealed in the deepest part of Candlefort.

The Path of Death and the Path of Knowledge have a diminishing relationship with each other.

Strictly speaking, the Path of Death can be considered as the Necromancy School within the eight major spell schools, while the Path of Knowledge represents the other seven schools outside the Death School.

1V7.

The Necromancy Faction almost crushed the other spell schools.

Necromancy is not prevalent at the Tower of Knowledge, the most powerful spell school is the ’Spellcasting Series’. Those inclined to delve into necromancy have generally already joined the ranks of the Path of Death.

Core members of the Path of Death are Undead Wizards, Death Knights, and Undying Monarchs, etc., most of whom eventually transform into undead creature templates; those Casters ultimately become Corpse Witches and Witch Demons.

Core members of the Path of Knowledge are Wizards, Warlocks, and Demon Swordmen, etc., rarely changing their race templates, possessing unique Knowledge Sages and Advanced Scroll Scholars, among which an important hidden advancement pathway is the ’Candlefort Scholar’. However, because no one has been able to enter Candlefort for hundreds of years, it has led to the disruption of the advancement pathway for Candlefort Scholars.

Because the “Dark Scroll” cannot be retrieved, it is impossible to study Dark Knowledge, making it difficult for the ancient Elf’s inheritance profession ’Scroll Scholar’ to continue.

This is like a book of incomplete cultivation technique secrets.

The cultivation technique of the Path of Death can be cultivated all the way to Demigod status because the path has already been paved. However, the advancement route for the Path of Knowledge, regardless of which secret option, faces ancient evil-level existence, and without the corresponding cultivation technique, you get stuck at a bottleneck.

The decline of the Path of Knowledge is not solely due to the blind folly shrouded by the Bizarre Realm.

Here, many Warlocks and ambitious Wizards have targeted to advance as Demigod Witch Demons because of the higher limits of the Path of Death.

Shawn’s visit this time was to discuss matters regarding ’Candlefort’.

Candlefort.

A legendary place in the Spirit Realm whose activities are unavoidable, its origin is from a place with the same name in the Otherworld, also the place where Slaughter Divine Son grew up. The foster father of Slaughter Divine Son is a Candlefort Scholar. Before the Dark Era, a powerful soul from the Otherworld created Candlefort to preserve the mysterious knowledge collected from the Otherworld, even sealing a number of Ancient Elf spells. This soul from the Otherworld was a scholar from Candlefort, and at that time, dozens of powerful Casters collectively established Candlefort to preserve knowledge in this way.
