Chapter 4234 Distribution of Proverbs
The rabbit girl's battle ended quickly.
The people from the rabbit hole witnessed the book demon's demise in the space where it was born, and at the same time, they saw the row of black characters that appeared on the table.
"I chose pen and ink in order to receive their inspiration."
The crowd could only see the content of the proverb, but could not trigger the fairy realm's prompt.
Only the rabbit girl, who had participated in the entire book demon trial, saw the message flashing in the text bar when she reached the proverb—
"You have discovered a hidden message."
"Should we make a rubbing of this information?"
"whether"
Without hesitation, the rabbit girl chose "yes".
In normal mode, even if you make a positive choice, the final result is still a failed imprint.
However, in the perfect completion mode, the imprint is formed smoothly.
Suddenly, a thin sheet of paper appeared out of thin air, looking like a piece of white silk from afar. It floated in mid-air like a feather, slowly drawing the ink-black proverbs on the table into the air, transforming them into a dark vortex that led them to the page.
The desktop still bears some maxims, but their colors have faded considerably.
The fresh, glossy ink of the proverbs was projected entirely onto the pages.
The paper shimmered gently and finally fell slowly into the rabbit girl's hand...
Everyone turned their attention to the rabbit girl. After all, they had seen many proverbs, but this was the first time they had ever made a copy of a proverb.
The rabbit girl held the piece of paper, her eyes slightly glazed over. She wasn't staring blankly, but rather looking at the new information flashing in the text field.
A moment later, the rabbit girl came to her senses and looked at everyone: "The rubbing was successful."
"Is there any explanation of the purpose of this rubbing?" Angell asked.
The rabbit girl shook her head. "It didn't say what it did, but it displayed a message..."
"Printing successful"
"The proverbs you currently hold: 1/3"
Although the function of the rubbing was not described in detail, a very subtle number was given: 1/3.
A thoughtful look flashed across Angell's eyes: "Does this mean that there seems to be a limit to the number of proverbs each person can hold?"
The rabbit girl nodded: "That should be the case; one can only hold a maximum of three proverbs."
Angell: "That does fit the Echo Library's visitor limit."
The Echo Library requires a maximum of five people and a minimum of three.
The total number of Book Demon Proverbs is nine. If each person has a maximum of three, then three people are required to hold all the proverbs. Therefore, this number of proverbs is logical.
only……
Just as Angell fell into deep thought, he heard Gray Porcelain speak.
"If everyone holds three maxims, then I can actually..."
Gabriel said irritably, "The observer said that the more people who hold the proverb, the better, but you're still struggling with it."
Gray Porcelain pouted: "I just think..."
"Don't just think about it." Gabriel extended his tentacles, mimicking raising a hand: "I suggest that next time we encounter a book demon, we should just let Gray Porcelain go alone. Let it get a copy first, otherwise, it will try to fight back every now and then!"
Gray Porcelain: "I didn't struggle in my death throes! I came all this way! I just..."
Rabbit Girl: "I agree."
Gray Porcelain stared at the rabbit girl in shock: "Captain, you..."
Rabbit Girl: "The sooner it's over, the easier it will be, isn't that the same mindset you have?"
Gray Porcelain remained silent, looking at Angell as if wanting to hear Angell's opinion.
Angel smiled and said, "Actually, I think it's good to let the book demon choose randomly. Before the answer is revealed, everyone is on tenterhooks. After finding out it's not them, they breathe a sigh of relief. But when they think about having to go through another random selection process when they meet the book demon again, they become anxious about the future."
"Isn't this kind of emotional rollercoaster from time to time quite fun?"
Angell said "everyone," but everyone could tell that this "everyone" referred to only one person.
When Gray Porcelain heard the phrase "the sooner it's over, the easier it will be," its balance had already shifted slightly. After all, as the Rabbit Girl said, that was its mindset.
Now that Angell has singled him out again, he may be called upon to "select" him every time, causing him frequent anxiety.
Rather than doing that, it would be better to just do what Gabriel said and go next time.
Once you get a rubbing, everything will be fine.
Thinking of this, Gray Porcelain took a deep breath, then mustered her courage and shouted, "I declare that next time I encounter a book demon, I will go alone!"
"It's not a big deal, why 'announce' it?" Gabriel muttered to himself.
Angell and the rabbit girl exchanged a glance without speaking, but their meaning was clear.
'I told you it would keep lowering its standards, didn't I?' Angel blinked.
The rabbit girl smiled slightly, pursing her lips.
Gray Porcelain is that kind of person; it's very good at self-strategy. This time, it was Gabriel who spurred it on, but sometimes, it doesn't even need anyone to push it; it will take a step forward on its own.
“Then the next Book Demon will be yours.” Angell said calmly, “Speaking of which, my intuition tells me that the next Book Demon is not far away.”
You'd better be prepared.
Gray Porcelain was taken aback. Hearing that it might be on stage soon, it became a little nervous.
It wanted to say something, but after glancing at Gabriel who was looking at it sideways, it gritted its teeth and said nothing.
Angell smiled and nodded: "Let's go."
……
Shortly thereafter, in an art gallery, Ingres led the group to unravel the mystery of a hidden space.
Upon seeing the hidden space that had been opened up, Gray Porcelain's expression visibly tensed up.
“Let’s go back to the fork in the road. The stage is yours now.” Angel gestured “please” to Gray Porcelain, then stepped back, turned around, and led the group away.
Gray Porcelain forcibly suppressed the urge to open her eyes and call for a stop. In the end, she closed her eyes, gave herself a mental suggestion, and then gritted her teeth and walked deeper into the corridor.
Three minutes later.
Angel led everyone back to this hidden space.
Since Gray Porcelain had already entered the Book Demon's challenge, they didn't need to worry about being "chosen" and returned.
Five minutes... ten minutes...
About twelve minutes later, Gray Porcelain successfully escaped the Book Demon challenge.
This also means that it has successfully completed the challenge.
No one asked about the process; they simply treated the gray porcelain as it returned normally, and then watched it imprint new proverbs.
Only after it received the rubbing of the proverb did the rabbit girl secretly give it a thumbs up.
Angell smiled and nodded at it. Although he didn't say anything to praise it, Angell's gentle gaze still gave Gray Porcelain a great deal of encouragement.
Gabriel, on the other hand, is more outward-looking, directly manipulating his tentacles to grab the gray porcelain and throw it into the air.
After a moment of disorientation, Gray Porcelain cheerfully placed it on itself and continued its journey.
After some time, Angell left the group to undergo the Book Spirit's test.
While everyone waited at the intersection, Gray Porcelain slowly came back to his senses.
After regaining its senses, Gray Porcelain immediately jumped off Gabriel and then wiped the slime off its body with a look of disgust.
Gabriel: "I wouldn't bother secreting fluids if I wasn't worried about you falling. Do you think these bodily fluids are free?"
Gray Porcelain was well aware of the effects of the mucus, but even knowing it, the sticky feeling on its skin still made it somewhat uncomfortable.
"Did you find the Book Demon challenge you just took difficult?" the rabbit girl asked, leaning against the wall as if they were having a casual chat.
Gray Porcelain paused for a moment, then shook her head slightly: "It's not difficult. The book demon is holding a book called 'Death Ray Burst,' and its attack method is to summon several light sources around it, from which hundreds of thread-like death rays emerge."
"But this death ray doesn't lock onto people; it just hangs motionless in space after it lands."
It's like a densely woven net of light.
Gray Porcelain dodged the initial burst of death rays thanks to its talent for danger perception. After that, it was simple: it just had to weave in and out of the gaps in the light threads and chase after the Book Demon.
Unfortunately, Gray Porcelain's attack power wasn't high, and it didn't use the trump cards Angor had given it, or even its illusion weapon. —It was worried that its weapon was too long and might accidentally touch the light filament. Even though Gray Porcelain didn't know the consequences of touching the light filament, it certainly wouldn't be a good thing.
With just a pair of not-so-powerful fists, Gray Porcelain chased after the Book Demon and beat him up.
It even forced the Book Demon to unleash a second "Death Ray Burst".
If it were anyone else, they might already be injured by now, with too many dense light threads; but Gray Porcelain's talent is completely unreasonable. Even though the surroundings are like a net from heaven and earth, it still swims like a fish, slipping and weaving through the light threads, pinning down and beating up the book demon.
Finally, after brutally cracking the book demon, this "head-to-head" test came to an end.
After listening to Gray Porcelain's story, both the rabbit girl and Gabriel fell silent.
This guy was clearly cowardly, but when he actually fought, he was incredibly ferocious, like a little cannon, chasing after the enemy and beating them mercilessly. Gray Porcelain himself seemed completely unaware of this "frenzied pursuit."
Moreover, if Gabriel were to encounter the "Death Ray Burst" ability, he believed that his only way to win would be to kill the opponent before it could unleash its power, otherwise those strands of light could restrict him to death.
Thinking about it this way, the Gray Porcelain's combat adaptability is actually higher than they imagined.
As they pondered, another positioning cursor appeared on the guidance radar. This meant that Angor had successfully passed the test of the third book spirit.
The three positioning cursors intersect, defining a very small area.
If we're lucky, we might be able to find the crevice.
However, before heading to the rift, the group needs to find the third book demon.
Angell quickly returned and continued leading the way. A moment later, in a quiet square, the rabbit girl won the third Book Demon Trial.
When the proverbs are full, people naturally seek out the cracks.
The first crack was eventually found in a small reading pavilion.
Finding the crack was a good thing, but a small mishap occurred because of the question of "who should stay behind".
“Actually, it’s best to keep the gray porcelain.” The rabbit girl looked at the gray porcelain: “Because all you need to get is one proverb, and you’ve already got that.”
"But if I stay, won't I have to face two waves of Book Demons attacking the tower?" Gray Porcelain immediately waved his hand. Each wave of Book Demons didn't come alone. With a group of Book Demons arriving, Gray Porcelain didn't think he could win.
“If you don’t stay, then I’ll have to stay.” The rabbit girl looked troubled. “But I only got two proverbs, not a full set.”
“It’s okay, just let Gabriel get all of them.” Gray Porcelain pointed at Gabriel: “He gets three, the captain gets two, I get one… and Mr. Angell gets three too.”
"That's enough!"
Angel blinked: "But I only wanted to take two. Gabriel took three, the commander took three, I took two, and you took one."
"The commander isn't getting enough right now... How about this, I'll get two, and you get two too?"
Gray Porcelain: "???"
Ultimately, they couldn't come up with a solution.
But the bunny girl was left on the first floor, that much is certain.
……
Upon reaching the second level, Angor quickly found a book spirit and left alone.
After Angell left, the group began discussing the distribution of proverbs in the team chat.
The main issue is that Angell said he only wanted to take "two" proverbs, which put Grey Porcelain in a dilemma. If he wanted to find a balance, it seemed that he could only take two proverbs as well.
But at first he only wanted to take one.
But since entering the level, Angel has been responsible for the most battles, the largest workload, and even guiding the way... He even took on the responsibility of sealing the demon god's thoughts at the end.
So far, Ingres has only made one request: he only wants to uphold two maxims.
This made it impossible for Grey Porcelain to refuse.
But it really didn't want to face the book demon a second time...
"Ah!" Gray Porcelain sighed helplessly to the heavens, "If only I hadn't chosen to bear the Proverb on the first level!"
"We forgot to consider that at the time," Gabriel sighed as well.
"Rabbit Hole Chieftain: This is my fault. I didn't consider the need to leave people on each floor at the beginning, which led to the error in the distribution of proverbs."
"Gray Porcelain: It's not the leader's fault, none of us actually remembered. I, let me think about it some more."
When Angell emerged from the Book Spirit's trial, this was the scene before him.
The team chat was full of Gray Porcelain's helplessness.
Angel raised an eyebrow. He had just been playing around and wanted to tease Gray Porcelain. He casually said that he would only take on two proverbs, but he didn't expect Gray Porcelain to be so anxious until now.
Angel thought for a moment and then spoke in the team chat:
"Angol: I have completed the first Book Spirit trial. The good news is that I have found the perfect route to find Book Spirits and different Book Demons along the way."
"The bad news is... the rift is located very far from us, and if nothing unexpected happens, we'll be heading back into the labyrinthine corridor..."
Gray Porcelain: ??!!! This secret corridor is really difficult!
"Angol: It's difficult, but haven't we already done it once? Maybe the questions won't change this time?"
"Anger: Moreover, I'd quite like to see Normefens again. Perhaps this time we can get some answers from him, such as the meaning of the number of proverbs."
