The Apostle

Chapter 17 - The Roadrunner

Chapter 17 - The Roadrunner

"The source of life?"

Chen Yue, who had recovered some energy under the massage of the water flow, inquired, with a bit of excitement in his expression, understanding that from the moment he touched that green ball of light, a brand new world had officially opened to him.

Previously, he had only been a layman standing outside this hall of the apostles and had no chance of entering it, but now the door had opened.

"In our lives, we all need energy to eat, sleep, walk, fight, etc. Even small actions like blinking our eyes or frowning consume energy. And the food we eat, the elements we absorb, where does all this intake of energy go?" Looking at Chen Yue with a thoughtful expression, Vinnia smiled and continued.

"Where these energies come and go is the Source of Life, there is a Source of Life within every human being that supports a life, without it, we would just be a stone with a mind."

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Yue nodded his head, agreeing with Vinnia's statement, even though there was no way to explain it in this way according to the theories of his previous life, but this world had its special rules, so it was not surprising that a source of life would materialise.

"Ordinary people are so muddled that they cannot touch the source of life for the rest of their lives, and when they reach the end of their lives, the source of life dissipates, but professionals are different, and we apostles are the most special of all."

Speaking here, Venya's voice rose high: "Magicians and fighters below the seventh rank cultivate only the superficial energy that exists in the physical body, only from the seventh rank onwards are they qualified to touch the Source of Life, and what we, the Apostles, cultivate from the very beginning is the Life Force of the Source of Life."

"The power of life is the most essential energy, and the stronger it is, the longer the life."

This was easy to understand, and after Vinnia explained it for a while, Chen Yue understood it.

Magic and fighting qi were both superficial energies that existed within the body, and although these were energies that were adapted to the physical body after transforming the energy of the source of life, there was no superiority or inferiority when comparing them; at most, they were just different attributes. This is like the difference between oil and petrol and diesel, which are refined from oil, but petrol and diesel are the only ones that can be put to real use.

Magic and Dou Qi are both very destructive, and the cultivation of the power of life, although not very destructive, can increase longevity in a way that magic and Dou Qi cannot match.

This is why the Apostle has such a long life, but is not a strong fighter himself, relying mainly on his magic, and the life expectancy of low-level magicians and fighters is not much higher than that of ordinary people.

In this respect, the Apostle has a great advantage.

Eternal life, what a great temptation for someone with only a hundred years of life expectancy, at least at this moment, Chen Yue's heart thumped.

"You have touched the source of life, from tomorrow onwards, we can proceed to the next step of training." Vinnia smiled and said.

"Mentor Vinnia, I have a question."

"Go ahead."

"How many days is the fastest that other apostles have touched the Source of Life?" Taking a deep breath, Chen Yue slowly said.

After a moment of silence, as if hesitating over something, Vinnia said after a long interval, "Three months."

"Thank you." Chen Yue said contentedly, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

It had only taken 11 days for himself, which was an achievement that was enough.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, Vinnia looked at Chen Yue's sleeping handsome face with some concern, "I hope the boy won't get proud of himself for this, telling him the truth, did he do the right thing or not?"

......

The next day, after seeing Chen Yue still behaving as usual, Vinnia, whose heart had been hanging in the air all night, breathed a sigh of relief.

"For the apostle, the most important thing, is the cultivation of the source of life, you should not have forgotten the process of the summoning of the enchantment, the first impact is towards the source of life, the stronger it is, it means that the greater the impact you can withstand, accordingly, you can also summon a more advanced enchantment, so the next second step of training, is this point. " After letting Chen Yue understand the next training plan, Vinnia said nothing more, but didn't tell him the exact training process, just told him to familiarize himself until he could sense the source of life at any time.

For the past ten days, although he would stop at times of extreme training, in general, the water puppet had been flying off into the distance, and Chen Yue was not familiar with the geography of the Tian Ye Empire, so he had no idea where he had arrived at this moment.

After another seven days, Chen Yue had finally reached the point where he could sense the source of life at all times, no longer needing to deliberately be between life and death, another miracle compared to the other apostles, but Vinnia was already numb to it and didn't say much about it.

Gradually, what appeared ahead was no longer a mountainous forest, but a deep azure that merged with the sky at the far edge.

"The sea?"

"Next, we're going out to sea." Faced with Chen Yue's doubts, Vinnia nodded in affirmation.

On a hill outside a city near the sea, the two landed.

Stepping on solid ground, Chen Yue felt an unusual sense of peace, as anyone who had spent nearly twenty days in the air would.

"Up ahead is the city, we are going to take a boat out of the sea at the harbour there, you take this." With that, Vinnia threw over a golden badge with a blood-stained thorn carved into it and a circle of purple and gold inlaid around it, giving a bone-chilling chill to the face at first glance.

"This is the emblem of a small family in the Freehold, it's a bit useful when you enter the city, so put it on and take your apostle's badge off, for now, don't carry that." As if in some distress, Vinnia put her apostle badge away.

Along the way, Chen Yue had already seen her apostle badge, which was carved with five huge seven-coloured diamonds, causing Chen Yue to suck in a breath of cold air.

Fifth rank apostle.

The rank of an apostle was different from that of other professionals, as the seventh rank of other professions was the watershed, and after crossing this line, one's strength soared, while other professionals of the fifth rank were powerful but not difficult to defeat.

However, the strength of an apostle is based on the demon, and the fifth rank means that the demon can be raised up to the fifth rank, and when the star level is added, the strength of the demon is far beyond that of other professionals of the same rank.

Of course, the higher the star level of the demon, the more difficult it is to ascend to the next level.

This is still the strength that Vinnia has revealed so far, just think about it, she cannot summon a four-star angelic demon right from the start, so there must still be lower-star angelic demons around, lower-star angelic demons are easier to raise in rank, although their strength is definitely not as strong as the water elves, but together, it is conservatively estimated that Vinnia's strength is definitely around the eighth rank of other professionals.

The number of professionals above the eighth rank in the entire Tian Ye Empire could be counted on one hand, so it was clear how strong she was.

Even Chen Yue, who was only a first-rank apostle, would have caused a stir if he had not taken off his apostle badge, not to mention Vinnia.

It was good to have a noble status, but it was absolutely unacceptable to be watched like a monkey.

When they entered the city, seeing that they did not have the badge of a professional, one of the city guards wanted to come up to collect the tax, but was pulled by a captain and stopped.

After whispering a few words in his ear, several city guards immediately cast awe-inspiring glances and no longer dared to come forward, and what they were gazing at was the newly replaced badges on the two men's chests.

A small family? Seeing this scene, the corner of Chen Yue's mouth couldn't help but curl up, that was with Vinnia's eyes, right?

It also looked like the badge was a bit of a nuisance, and the problem of entering the city was solved. The two quickly put the badge away, taking it in their hands, Chen Yue's mind moved and did not return it to Vinnia.

The identity of the apostle is too dazzling, if you use this badge, you can solve a lot of trouble ......

The first thing that I did was to take it out, and I had no intention of taking it back.

The fact that Chen Yue's performance also satisfied her, not a pedantic person, invariably, Vernia's evaluation of Chen Yue was one point higher.

At the seaport, countless ships were docked.

The two of them walked through them, but disappointingly, no one was able to satisfy Vinnia's request.

The place she wanted to take Chen Yue to was a place called Ming Shan Island.

However, after asking most of the crew, surprisingly no one knew of this island.

"Strange, I've obviously been here two hundred years ago, how come no one in East Ocean City knows the way all of a sudden." Very puzzled, Vinnia frowned slightly.

Chen Yue's eyes went black and he almost fell to the ground with a stumble, looking at Vinnia and saying out of breath, "East, East Sea City?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"But, this is obviously South Asia City ......" Speechlessly, Chen Yue pointed to the two crew members who were chatting with each other, and the words "South Asia City" popped out from time to time.

Vinnia exclaimed, but the words that came out were devastating.

"Ah, South Asia City is in the south of the Skyleaf Empire, thousands of miles away from East Sea City."

......

"How could it be so outrageously off." Chen Yue said speechlessly.

"Ahem ......" Vinnia's face reddened slightly, "I get lost very easily."

His mouth opened wider and wider, Chen Yue looked at Vinnia who was showing a rare shy state in surprise, could it be that this super strong and knowledgeable powerhouse, the deacon of the Apostolic Association, was actually a wayfarer.
