NOVEL NEXT Shepherd Tantra
Chapter 126 The King's Trouble
Chapter 126 The King's Trouble
When Lily woke up, as if by magic, she untied the rope that bound her in just an instant.
This is the domain of her mysterious skill "Thread Control".
Because [Restraint] is also one of the many secrets belonging to the spider silk.For Lily, strings and ropes are as controllable and reliable as extensions of her limbs, without causing interference to herself.
This body was much stronger than her own, so her heart beat much stronger.
In sheer darkness, she slipped silently into stealth.Lily stood in the corner of the room, slightly closing one eye.
While distracted by the task requirements emerging in front of her eyes, she used the other closed eye to perceive the surrounding environment.
——In her perception, the world around her turned into black and white.
Every time Lily's heart beat, clear white outlines emerged in the dark world she perceived, and then they gradually faded, becoming clearer after the next heartbeat.
But not far from her, the fading speed of two human silhouettes was much slower.
In Lily's [Spider Silk Perception] field of vision, it seemed that a large number of silk threads burst out from the position of their hearts.The faint vibration of the heartbeat reflected on the ground, forming a web like a spider web.In just a few breaths, the outline of the human figure was very clearly outlined.
After they woke up and realized their situation, their heartbeats suddenly became much faster.The most intuitive feeling is that the spider webs mapped out rhythmically on the ground become larger and the frequency becomes faster.
"anyone there?"
One of them couldn't help shouting: "Help me!"
The heartbeat of the other person suddenly slowed down.
A faint amber aura flashed from his body, and the ropes that bound him were partially petrified and lost their elasticity.He broke free from the rope with all his might, and called out, "I'm here to help you—who are you?"
"I am the king... who are you?"
"I am antlers."
The man who used the petrification technique to untie his own rope replied: "There should be another person in the room...can you tell us your name?"
Lily coughed lightly, indicating that she heard.
"It turned out to be the gentleman who adapted to the path."
Antlers reacted immediately.
This is not good.Antler Heart said after reading the requirements of this ritual mission.
None of the allies I had drawn in before appeared by my side.Instead, the taciturn adaptor and the botanist with little fighting power appeared with him.
The profession of a botanist is not the same as that of an alchemist in the traditional sense.
Although alchemists are not good at fighting, at least they can provide various potions... But the abilities of botanists are to give birth, demonize and control various plants.High-level botanists can also awaken huge ancient trees, turning them into powerful treants.
If it is in a forest environment, the combat effectiveness of the "King" will be very strong.But in this closed environment, botanists are basically useless.
And they appear in the same place, which is basically the relationship of temporary teammates.
The most important thing is... since the king appears here, it means that the most powerful "Aleister" will appear elsewhere.
Although the demon parasitized by the shadow demon certainly does not have the same combat power as the shadow demon...but even if he only gets one-tenth of the power from the shadow demon, no one else can fight against it in this ceremony.
—This is really bad.
Obtaining the holy gun will be locked by others, and it is even more difficult for him, a low-level transcendent on the twilight path, to kill and win.
Antlers judged that Aleister should choose to kill and win after seeing the requirements of this mission.This also means that he can obtain a large number of corpses - there is no conflict between them.
His tasks in this ceremony are not difficult to do, including the item "Put the corpse into the magic cauldron to resurrect", each corpse has 800 points.And if he can resurrect himself and survive to the end of the ceremony, he can get 1500 points.
In addition, he also has the task of "closing the door"... using the petrification technique to petrify the keyholes of some doors, and each door can get 500 points.At this height, he can petrify but cannot undo petrification, which means that every time the door is closed, the activity space of all ritualists will be compressed.
But this may not be a method of killing—after making a sound to attract the giants, you can take advantage of the trap door to seal them out.And the door that was sealed in advance can also be used as a trap.
If he has the opportunity to get in touch with the Holy Lance, he can also petrify the Holy Lance to seal the power of the Holy Lance.Let the person holding the Holy Lance not be able to use the power of the Holy Lance against the giant... so that he can get 1000 points.If the person holding the holy gun dies because of this, he can get another 500 points.
With this calculation, he has guaranteed [-] points.It is very easy to win points.
Antlers is now a senior transcendent.
He knows one thing very well: the task itself is the prompt.
——From the consideration of this task, the resurrection of the magic cauldron should only be resurrected once.And it can be used by anyone, not just giants.The fact that the task of escaping the house gives so many points means that it must be very difficult and extremely troublesome.
Considering the time limit of one hour, maybe there is not enough time.If his temporary teammate is more reliable, he can think about it a little bit, but all he can do now is to restrain others from fleeing.
And this is very simple.
He just needs to find and seal the gate—to ensure that no one else can escape, so he won't get these two thousand points and overtake himself.
In order to achieve this condition...
Seeing that the antlers have not untied their own ropes for a long time, the king gradually understood.
After a short thought, he suddenly spoke and broke the deadlock: "Then kill me."
The king's words made the other two look at him.
Antler asked with concern: "Is this okay?"
Hypocrisy.Lily on the side snorted.
The king was very open: "To be honest, I didn't plan to be promoted.
"If it happened to be a ritual field in the forest environment, I might give it a try. But in this environment, I think it's better to just give up. This ceremony is a new moon ceremony. I don't have enough strength to be promoted.
"It just so happens that you are my big client—so I want to give you my chance."
—He meant it.Antlers' rich experience immediately determined the king's true attitude.
When someone quit voluntarily, Antlers breathed a sigh of relief.In this way, the deadlock can be broken.
Instead, the Antlers crouched, groped their way, and took the rope off the king.Allow him to sit up in a more comfortable position.
Then, Antler asked: "You don't plan to be promoted, why are you participating in the promotion ceremony?"
"I'm here to sell goods, and business hasn't been very good recently."
The king sat up and said very calmly: "Anyway, the promotion ceremony at this stage will not kill people, at most it will be weak for half a month. And the people who will participate in the ceremony are all extraordinary people near me, and they only have the first energy level ... I also didn't expect that the last two times were brought to Avalon.
"It can only be said that the stars have been too chaotic recently, and they can't even gather a group of promoted people."
"What's the matter with Star Antimony recently?" Antler asked with concern.
"The Rosicrucian Association and the Royal Alchemy Association fought. The necromancers did not mediate this time, but watched the fun from the sidelines. As a result, things became more and more troublesome. Two months ago, a very famous alchemist was killed by a curse. .Now the demon scholars are being attacked wildly by the newspapers, but there is no movement at the Rosicrucian side."
The king sighed and complained: "I don't know why, but the price of the finished alchemy mixture has increased significantly recently, but the price of the materials has dropped instead. It feels like a war is about to happen. This is also the reason why I came to sell goods in the promotion ceremony.
"The several alchemy workshops that bought materials from me before kept asking me for discounts, or they refused to buy from me. How can I get used to them-I am not the kind of inferior materials mixed with water. Every tube Essential oils are plentiful!
"...But they seem to have made an appointment. As a result, all the workshops will not buy from me, and they will lower the price to [-]% of the purchase price--I'm telling the truth, Mr. Antler. The [-]% discount I gave you is the same as before. Wholesale price for them. He wants me to get [-]% off, then I really can't make any money. I don't want to be the coolie of those alchemists."
The king shook his head: "It might be better if I could advance to the third energy level a few years earlier. Botanists at the third energy level can also do alchemy, and I can sell the finished product myself. But I was busy a few years ago. Making money...incense, essential oils, perfumes, seeds, made money for years.
"Forget it now. I'm old, and I still have a wife and daughter to support... I don't have the energy to re-study alchemy. It's better to go to the promotion ceremony and sell some goods."
When he said this, he held the hand of the antler and said earnestly: "I will give you this promotion opportunity. The number of kills is good, and you can use my corpse as you like... You must remember our order !"
"Do not worry."
Antlers nodded, exuding a majestic temperament: "I am considered a big man in Avalon, and I will not renege on my debts. When I go back, I will send a deposit to your address immediately - the deposit is [-]/[-], you You can make it after receiving the payment, and then divide it into two batches. In this way, you will definitely not suffer...how?"
"You are such a nice person!"
the king thanked.
