Section 2727 The Price of Asylum
On the other side of the arena.
When Gray Merchant and his group saw that Dox was successfully cursed and his chest was pierced by a blood spear, they already felt that they had won. However, the situation changed so quickly that no one expected that Dox, who was dying the previous second and could be on the verge of death at any time after another blow, would suddenly be revived with full blood.
On the contrary, the evil woman who had the upper hand was cursed back, and the transplanted evil eye burst instantly.
Everything happened so quickly that even their joy had not ended, and the next second it turned into a head-on blow.
Fen Mo covered her mouth, shook her head, and widened her eyes. She was completely unbelievable about the changes in front of her. Most of the other apprentices were the same, and even the demon elephant, who was wearing a mask and could not see his expression, was sighing constantly.
The shepherd put away his lazy expression and murmured to himself: "Is this the battle of wizards?"
Reversal, reversal... and reversal.
The changes in the battle situation were so fast that it was dizzying.
Gray Merchant, who had been silent all this time, also spoke at this time: "In this game, the evil woman lost."
Gray Merchant's tone was not uncertain at all, and he said the result very confidently...even though the duel had not really ended yet.
As Gray Merchant's voice fell, the morale of the people who were already in a low mood was hit again, and became even more depressed.
Seeing this situation, Gray Merchant said: "However, the victory or defeat this time has little to do with the evil woman. Who would have thought that a wandering wizard would actually hide a mysterious leather scroll."
"At present, it seems that the effect of the mysterious leather scroll is not directly offensive, but more like repairing damage and defensive capabilities. The curse of the evil woman was backfired by the defensive effect, which is the key to failure."
"So, this can only be blamed on bad luck."
Gray Merchant's words calmed everyone's emotions a little.
However, the youngest Fen Mo, who has always been the best at destroying the atmosphere, is the same at this time: "If it were an adult, could he win?"
Although Fen Mo's question was also what everyone thought, it was probably only Fen Mo who dared to ask it.
Gray Merchant did not blame Fen Mo for asking the question at an inappropriate time. If he were to switch places with Fen Mo, he would probably have similar doubts.
"If the mysterious scroll only showed simple defense and repair capabilities, there would be ways to win."
Gray Merchant was actually confident in his own strength. However, facing the mysterious scroll, he was still a little scared. So when answering this question, he did not say anything affirmative.
To win Dox under the protection of the mysterious scroll, two points must be determined: the effect of the mysterious scroll and the duration of the mysterious scroll.
From the effect point of view, it is not offensive, so Gray Merchant is sure to delay for a while.
But if the duration of the mysterious scroll is quite long, Gray Merchant may not be able to delay to the end.
Therefore, even if Gray Merchant's blood completely restrains Dox, when facing this unpredictable "variable", it will make the battle anxious and tricky.
Gray Merchant: "However, if I switch to Dox's position, I probably won't use the mysterious scroll."
With Gray Merchant's eyesight, how could he not see that the evil woman did not kill directly, and gave Dox a chance to survive.
In this case, if you lose, you lose, and you can just take care of it slowly.
But the mysterious leather scroll is something that you lose every time you use it.
Even if it is a mysterious leather scroll that can be used repeatedly, if you use it, there will be endless troubles. Because... you are just a wandering wizard, without any backing, and you have such a rare treasure, and it is a mysterious thing with restorative properties. Even a strong man like Mr. Monk would probably be tempted.
Therefore, even if the Gray Merchant has the support of the Bilos family and has such a mysterious leather scroll, he will never use it in a duel. Unless it is really certain that there is no chance of survival, there is no need to worry about the consequences.
Dox's bold use has not even reached a life-and-death crisis. Even if he can win, it will attract covetousness.
Maybe the mastermind hidden in the mirror will also be tempted.
When the Gray Merchant thought about this, as the person involved, how could Dox not understand the key here.
His mood at this time was extremely complicated, especially his emotions towards Angel, which were both grateful and somewhat resentful. Thankfully, Angel was willing to give him such a rare magic pattern leather scroll, which made him feel the joy of being trusted, and also showed that his strategy of "making friends" was a great success.
But the resentment was that Angel must have known the consequences of using the magic pattern leather scroll. No wonder when he handed it to him, he said this meaningfully:
"This is the trump card I lent you. If you feel that victory is hopeless or you are in a life-and-death crisis, you can activate it. However, you have to think clearly that once you use the trump card I lent you, you need to pay the corresponding price for this trump card."
At that time, Dox saw the familiar pattern on the scroll and immediately thought of the "Sunlight Garden" that Angel had used in the Princess Town before. At that time, Angel used the Sunlight Garden magic pattern leather scroll in order to prevent the potential of the gifted Ameisha in the Savage Cave from being affected.
At that time, Dox felt very distressed. There was no need to use such a precious magic pattern leather scroll on a gifted person.
So, Dox had seen the Sunlight Garden.
Therefore, when Ingres handed the scroll to him, Dox immediately determined the "truth" of the scroll.
At that time, Doakes was still thinking that although this Sunlight Garden leather scroll was indeed very valuable and even had a trace of mystery in it, in all seriousness, Doakes could still find something of equal value if he pieced it all together. something.
Therefore, Doakes just listened to what Angel said at that time and didn't take it seriously. He never even thought that he would actually use this leather scroll.
When he activated the leather scroll and felt the strong mysterious aura spreading, he knew that he had been tricked by Angel.
Even though Doakes' whole body is now extremely relaxed and in high spirits, even the stubborn diseases in his body that could not be eliminated in the past, as well as the hidden wounds that he had never discovered at all, have been soothed. But his mood was extremely complicated, and he even wanted to kneel on the ground and beg Angel to let him go... How could he afford the price of this mysterious leather scroll? !
Why was he so confused that he used this leather scroll even before the final moment? !
Doakes had lost all thought of fighting now.
At this moment, his peripheral vision suddenly glanced not far away. In the center of the shadow of the temple simulated by the light mask, there was a leather scroll floating motionless.
Doakes's eyes suddenly lit up. Regardless of the duel currently taking place, he turned to Angel and said, "This leather scroll can be used an unlimited number of times, right? It must be!"
As Doakes finished speaking, everyone present looked at Angel.
Even the wise ruler in the sky cast curious eyes on Angel.
The wise master witnessed with his own eyes how Doakes changed from a very bad state to full of vitality. Even on the spiritual level, the wise master also detected earth-shaking changes, and there was a feeling of the old being replaced by the new.
This extremely powerful recovery power is difficult to achieve, at least among the techniques known to the wise ruler. Even if it can be done reluctantly, the price paid is appalling.
Therefore, even the wise ruler is jealous of this mysterious leather scroll with restorative power.
The wise ruler is jealous, and so is the Black Earl. He had seen Angel give Doakes something before, but he didn't expect it to be such a treasure.
The Black Count didn't say it on his face now, but he already regretted it in his heart. If he had known this, he should have grabbed it directly.
How about Doakes playing an ostrich egg? He's here to fight!
On the other side, the gray merchant also looked at the red-haired and golden-eyed wizard opposite. Before, he was still thinking that Doakes actually owned a mysterious leather scroll. Now it seemed that the owner of this leather scroll turned out to be someone else.
Speaking of which, the gray merchant had paid close attention to this strange wizard before. Because at that time, the evil woman was fighting Doakes, so his opponent was most likely the wizard.
The result of the gray merchant's analysis at that time was obscurity and mystery. Now, after Doakes finished speaking, this person became even more mysterious, and his identity was anything but ordinary.
When everyone was looking at Angel, Angel seemed a little slow and slow. It took him a long time to raise his head and looked at Doakes in confusion.
"What did you say?...Oh, I remembered it. Just now I was thinking about what price you have to pay to be worthy of the value of this magic pattern leather scroll, so don't mind if I'm a little distracted."
Listening to Angel's self-questions and answers, regardless of what other people thought, Doakes really felt like crying.
As expected, his guess was correct, Angel had already plotted against him! Hateful!
Angel: "You asked for the number of times, right?"
Under Doakes's expectant eyes, and when everyone was eagerly waiting and eavesdropping, Angel spit out an answer that made Doakes despair.
"One more time left." Angel: "You can actually judge from the degree of damage to the leather roll. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Satisfied..." Doakes forcibly took back the curse words on his lips.
No matter what, this leather scroll really saved him, that's for sure. Moreover, it was indeed his own initiative to use it.
"As long as you are satisfied, I hope you will also be satisfied in the near future." After Angel finished speaking, he smiled slightly.
Doakes, on the other hand, felt like he was struck by lightning and took a few steps back. The air in his chest was so tight that he almost wanted to vomit blood. However, there was no spitting out. Because the Holy Light is still coming, all negative states have escaped from Doakes. Even Angel's angry mood seems to be slowly changing...?
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Do you think you have won? I will let you taste what pain is!" A shrill voice came from the mouth of the evil woman.
Probably because she felt ignored by Doakes, and because of his conversation with Angel, the evil woman felt extremely humiliated.
In this case, the evil woman activated all her bloodlines!
As bursts of energy ripples visible to the naked eye rippled across the arena, the evil woman's body began to twist, swell, and deform.
A few seconds later, the evil woman who appeared in front of everyone could no longer be called a "person".
They can even be classified into the same category as those void monsters outside the arena.
Her appearance has turned into a pure mountain of flesh, and her dense hair is like soft fleshy tentacles, with a mouth and sharp teeth at the top of the tentacles.
The whole person looked twisted and terrifying.
The evil woman raised her head that no longer looked like a human face and asked in a buzzing voice: "Do you know what pain is?"
Doakes swallowed and said, "I don't want to know."
The evil woman opened her mouth full of sharp teeth and did not speak. Instead, she turned into a predator and rushed towards Dox.
The terrifying wind pressure generated by the air raid even blew up the stone slabs on the ground.
At the right time, the wise master said: "Destroy the ring and pay compensation after the duel."
But the evil woman could no longer hear the outside world. Her only target was Dox!
...
At the same time, Angel said: "I think it might be better for you to end this game as soon as possible. The effect of the Sunlight Temple will continue to weaken. It is too luxurious for you to enjoy it alone. Of course, this time the Sunlight Temple belongs to you, and you can enjoy it alone."
Hearing Angel's voice, Dox first complained angrily.
Sunlight Temple, Sunlight Garden! So similar, this is obviously your deliberate deception!
But soon, Dox suddenly thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, this time the Sunlight Temple was activated and it completely belonged to me. Angel was actually reminding him in disguise that he could let other people enjoy the effects of the "Sunlight Temple" and even charge a certain fee? ! Maybe, he could raise enough money to pay Angel?
Although this possibility is very low, Dox is now crazy, and he wants to get as much as he can!
Thinking of this, Dox dared not waste any more time, and ignited his blood to face the evil woman with full firepower!
…
The evil woman has now activated her blood, and even her appearance is no longer human. With such a terrifying blood bonus, coupled with a full-strength attack, any formal wizard of the same level dare not resist. Even a true wizard of the same level may face a life-and-death crisis if he resists.
It can be said that the evil woman abandoned defense, gathered all her firepower, and launched a challenge.
And the object of her challenge is not only Dox, but also the phantom of the temple that looks extremely solemn!
The evil woman's attack was fierce, and Dox did not dare to face it directly. He carried the red light and gently swept away dozens of meters.
However, the evil woman's powerful attack did not break through the defense of the Sunlight Temple.
Not even a ripple was raised.
Dox looked at the holy light that seemed to come from the sky in astonishment, and murmured: "Is this absolute defense?"
Dox's murmur made the expressions of the Gray Merchants and his party become very serious. If it is really an absolute defense, then they have no way to fight against Dox.
However, at this moment, Angel's time to dismantle the stage came again: "Is it an absolute defense? I can't give you an accurate answer. However, after enduring a large number of attacks, the Sunlight Temple will be damaged... After all, it is not used for fighting."
The role of the Sunlight Garden is to give people a peaceful paradise in a dark and desperate place.
The role of the Sunlight Temple is to open the flame of civilization for the ignorant age on the basis of the Sunlight Garden.
The most important thing about the Sunlight Temple is the baptism of the spirit, which can be said to be able to transform all living beings. Therefore, it will be evaluated by Feng as the holy light of the ignorant period and the torch of civilization in the unenlightened land.
After Angel finished speaking, Dox turned his head suddenly: "How can you casually say such a weakness?!"
Angel: "If I don't say it, won't you regard it as an umbrella? The temple is always a tower behind the believers, not a barricade pushed to the front."
"By the way, after the Sunlight Temple is attacked by a large number of people, even if it is not damaged, its own effect will be weakened."
How could Dox not understand what Angel meant when he heard this.
Hiding behind the comfortable Sunlight Temple, even if you win by exhausting the evil woman's physical strength in the end, it is a loss and shame. If you want to win and want to gain greater benefits through the Sunlight Temple, there is only one way:
Take the initiative!
