Lord of Enigma

Chapter 117: Macauley's Choice

Phew!

Tang Qi exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath, as the tightly tangled hair knot in front of him slowly spread out under the guidance of his fingers. It was a knot made of three hairs, two black and one deep red.

Without hesitation, Tang Qi immediately looked into the air in front of him when the hair knots dispersed.

Sure enough, three beautiful figures were reflected in Tang Qi's eyes at the same time.

They were three young girls. Two of them were black-haired girls who seemed to belong to the same region and ethnicity. Their skin was also brown, and they gave people a sense of vigor and health. The other girl had flame-like hair and a strangely shaped thin sword in her hand.

When Tang Qi fixed his gaze on the girls, the three girls approached him almost at the same time, and each gave a kiss on the face.

"Ding ~ buzz"

Before he could sigh at his luck this time, two pieces of information exploded in his mind, making him digest them subconsciously.

At the same time, he did not forget to thank the girls.

Tang Qi received two different kinds of knowledge in the smiles released by the three girls.

[You have acquired a new knowledge! ]

[You've learned how to identify plants! ]

[You have acquired a new knowledge! ]

[You've learned the art of fencing! ]

"Eh?

Tang Qi was surprised. In addition to the fact that none of the knowledge received this time was linguistic, there was also the second piece of knowledge.

This was the first time he had acquired combat knowledge.

However, he didn't deliberately ignore the first piece of knowledge. Compared to combat-related knowledge of unknown strength, Tang Qi was able to guess the first knowledge only by its name. At present, the knowledge he obtained from the magic hair knot was really helpful.

This kind of help might be the biggest.

[Plant identification: A skill that requires a lot of practice and talent to master. Learning it can help you quickly identify some dangerous plants. At the same time, this is also one of the necessary knowledge for class specialists such as secret pharmacists and spiritual planters. ]

[Information Fragment: Your knowledge of secret pharmacy is supplemented, and when you modify or make certain plant-related secret medicines, the chance of success will increase. ]

"Sure enough, good news."

Looking at the information fragments in his mind, Tang Qi couldn't help smiling.

The two dark-haired girls should be from a relatively primitive tribe or country. There was no orthodox medical system, so they relied too much on various herbal plants, thus exercising a wealth of plant identification experience.

They gave it to Tang Qi together, which was a great supplement to his secret medicine.

With great joy, Tang Qi looked at the second knowledge, the combat knowledge.

[Art of Fencing: A special kind of swordsmanship. Although its symbolic meaning of birth is far greater than actual combat, as long as it's paired with a suitable thin sword, on some occasions, it's also a very destructive form of swordsmanship. ]

"Maybe this swordsmanship is more suitable for women?"

Tang Qi silently digested the knowledge of swordsmanship in his mind and then commented.

Concerning combat knowledge, he has always been willing to accept it.

However, this kind of thin-blade swordsmanship was indeed a bit useless1You could get a cane sword, that would be very dope. , whether it was taken out alone or used in conjunction with the body of mist, it was far less practical than the Chaga Fighting technique.

Moreover, in order to unleash its power, one had to find the appropriate thin sword.

In close-quarters weapon warfare, Tang Qi was more adapted to the bone blade he has now.

Hagrid's Resentment!

With this extraordinary bone blade in hand, if he released his full strength in a fight, the damage would be terrible.

In particular, creatures that were cut by Hagrid's Resentment, even if it was just a tiny wound, would enjoy the torment of "the power of pain".

In comparison, the thin swordsmanship was not very competitive.

"But it doesn't matter. After all, it's still a piece of knowledge. No wizard will feel that he has too much knowledge."

After sighing, he looked out the window.

It was already in the evening.

Tang Qi frowned slightly. Did he spend the greater part of the day just to untie one hair knot?

Was it because of the abnormal time flow rate?

Or was it because of.the hair knot?

"It seems that the deeper the knot is, the harder it is to untie. Correspondingly, the chance of getting knowledge also seems to increase. Is it because of the age of the knot?"

Tang Qi squeezed the magic hair knot in his hand, and speculations arose in his mind.

Because of the spirit tide, the closer you are to the new calendar, the lower the chance of there being an extraordinary appearance, and vice versa.

This meant that in the future, every time he untied a hair knot, the chance of him getting extraordinary knowledge would also increase. If so, it could indeed explain why it took him a day to untie a hair knot.

Difficulty and profit have always been related.

"Let's verify it next time, there's still a loophole that needs to be blocked."

"If I'm lucky enough, maybe I can have one more subordinate."

Tang Qi didn't rush to verify it. Instead, he put away the hair knot, glanced at the sky outside, stood up directly, sorted out his clothes, and walked to the workbench.

In the cold box on the workbench, Tang Qi first took out the two secret medicines of Words of Kumon and Amnesia.

After a pause, he took out another secret medicine from the safe.

Then he quickly left the building.

He still chose to rent a carriage a few streets away from the campus and stopped at the same place as last time.

In a spacious carriage, two figures sat opposite each other.

The freckled face Macauley sat in an upright position. He was very nervous at this moment, inexplicably nervous. He should have been happy to see the "big shot" again. After all, after completing the task from this big shit last time, he obtained a very generous reward.

Now, maybe he would get a second task?

While Macauley was nervously guessing, Tang Qi's faint voice was heard.

"Macauley, the first time we met, I allowed you to make a choice."

"Now, you need to choose again, and this time, it will determine your destiny."

"You only have one chance."

Tang Qi's voice penetrated into his ears, and Macauley's heart immediately beat wildly. "Thump Thump Thump". Although he was just a little beggar, he obtained a special temperament ever since he made his choice for the first time and successfully completed a task for Tang Qi.

And at this time, he was extremely keenly aware that an incomparably important choice in his life was suddenly placed in front of him.

Two bottles of potions appeared in his hands.

At the same time, there was an extremely cold voice, as if it was just the voice of a bystander.

"Choose what's on your right hand, and you might die, but you might also gain a strong power that makes you truly qualified to work for me."

"Choose the other, and you will forget everything related to me, but you will also gain wealth beyond your imagination, enough to live worry-free for the rest of your life."

"Thump Thump ThumpHu!"

As soon as Tang Qi finished his words, Macauley's eyes fell on two different potions.

Strangely, Macauley felt his violent heartbeat suddenly calm down, and he seemed to have entered a very weird and calm state.

Without any hesitation, he immediately made a choice.

• 1You could get a cane sword, that would be very dope.
