Chapter 45: Emperor Ji

Oriental illusion.

As the birthplace of monks, the illusions in the eastern countries are not mastered by wizards (illusionists) as in the western world. Many of the people who are proficient in illusion here are combat professionals, and the oriental dancer is a master at using illusion. Many illusions are illusions, but when their strength reaches a certain level, they are false and real. Even a troubadour who plays tricks will not be much worse than an orthodox spellcaster after advancing to a certain level. Can master the 'mirror image' ability.

Sauron didn't dare to make any changes, but just quietly waited for the opponent's move, looking for opportunities to respond to all changes without change.

The woman who attacked him was very strong.

At least a high-level professional, the possibility of being a legend cannot be ruled out, because she obviously hasn't done her best yet.

Jingle Bell!

The crisp bell sounded, and the sound seemed to resonate with the heartbeat of a person. It actually made Sauron a little dazed for a moment, but he recovered quickly. At the same time, three phantoms appeared in front of my eyes again. They were wearing light silk dresses and dancing lightly and coquettishly. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, they were full of infinite charm. These three charming figures were not in a hurry to launch an attack, but surrounded Sauron with bursts of crisp laughter, seeming to enjoy the feeling of fooling the enemy.

——"Shadow Jump!"

—— "Sword gesture [Whirling Dance]!"

Sauron's figure leaped out, and the scimitar in his hand turned into a cold light and slashed down. The three figures in front of him chuckled, dodged slightly sideways, and then stabbed with a dagger.

Dang bang block!

The three figures were all entities, and they actually directly blocked Sauron's attack.

"Mirror image!?"

Sauron's brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was quite serious. An enemy who could master the mirror image ability would not be too far behind even if he was not a legend.

Where is the body?

The combat power of the mirror image is very low. It is less than one-third of the body, and even a legendary sword master who also practiced the mirror image technique can only retain half of his strength at most. These three mirror images can't pose too much threat to Sauron, but the oriental dancer hidden in the dark is very dangerous. Sauron has not been threatened by such an enemy who is proficient in stealth for a long time.

what does it smell like

Just when Sauron was a little confused about the enemy's position, his nose suddenly twitched. Immediately, a gleam of light burst out in his eyes, and he jumped towards the position of the bed.

——"Shadow Attack!"

—— "Sword [beheading]!"

fragrance.

There is a very light fragrance in the room, which is a woman's fragrance.

clang!

The sound of weapons colliding sounded, and a pair of snake-shaped daggers suddenly appeared, followed by a slender figure who was forced to appear. Under the impact of Sauron's explosion, he flew backward one meter, and directly hit the wall in the room.

"Well!"

The hazy phantom gradually became clear. The figure of Dongfang Dancer appeared, and she said in a painful voice: "Wait a minute! Stop! I admit defeat! It hurts!..."

"asshole!"

"I admit defeat! Don't fight anymore!"

Sauron's gaze was ice-cold, and his fierce attack did not stop at all. After beheading with a sword move, he immediately slashed out horizontally. At the same time, with a low shout, he launched the sword gesture [Whirling Dance], sealing all the opponent's blind spots.

Hit and kill!

Although the opponent has already admitted defeat, Sauron has no intention of stopping.

——"Shunpo!"

Dongfang Dancer's complexion finally changed drastically, and she finally realized what a dangerous enemy she had provoked. She twisted around in embarrassment to avoid it, her slender waist was almost folded in half. Her amazing flexibility allowed her to avoid Sauron's attack, and at the same time, her figure suddenly disappeared and appeared behind Sauron.

"stop!"

The Oriental Dancer stepped back and said anxiously, "I'm just trying your skills! I'm not an enemy! I'm planning to join your team to earn some rewards, so I came here to test you out!..."

"Wait a minute!"

"We met before! It's at the Adventurer's Guild!"

clang!

The sound of weapons colliding sounded again. Sauron frowned and withdrew his scimitar, stared at him coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Take off your veil."

The Oriental Dancer finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him stop.

She took a short breath first, then frowned and looked at her arm. There was already a faint bloodstain on her bare white arm. If she hadn't hid fast enough, she might have been killed by the man in front of her. The man was cut in half. The oriental dancer stared at Sauron with a strange expression, and then slowly took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face with an exotic oriental style, with a small tear mole at the corner of her eye.

Sauron stared at the woman in front of him, and his memory was running fast. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Who is Dongfang Empress?"

Dongfang Empress! ?

Sauron's words made the face of the woman in front of him change greatly, and he clenched the snake-shaped dagger tightly again in an instant, and said in a tense voice, "Who are you? Why do you know this?"

Sure enough, it has something to do with Dongfang Empress!

A figure that overwhelmed the country and the city could not help appearing in Sauron's mind, which made him touch his ears subconsciously.

Back then, he traveled the entire continent after advancing to legend, and fought against countless legendary powerhouses, even saints incarnate as gods several times, but they were crushed in the hands of a mysterious woman in the east. Not only did he fail the mission, he lost nearly a third of the team's manpower, and finally handed over one of his ears.

At that time, as long as he slowed down, what he lost might not be an ear, but the whole head!

Eastern Empress.

An advanced dancer with a career level of 30+, proficient in illusion, mirror image, charm, etc., good at stealth, assassination, and inquiring about news. She secretly controls many brothels in the Eastern Kingdom. No one knows her true identity, and her camp orientation cannot be judged. She has a very special thing in her hand, which is said to be an artifact handed down from the Eastern Kingdom, which can make people have an immortal face and a long lifespan.

"explain."

Sauron's eyes were slightly cold, he held the handle of the knife again, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"

The Eastern Dancer in front of her had a complicated expression, and she seemed not to understand why a person from the west of the mainland would know about the existence of the Eastern Empress. She took a step back slightly, and after a moment of thought, said slowly: "I really just intend to test Show your skills, I just received information that there is something in the underground ruins you are going to, which makes Your Excellency Di Ji very interested."

"So I was ordered to take it out."

"I don't mean anything malicious! Otherwise, I would have used the ecstasy incense before you entered the house."

Miscense.

The effective means of the oriental dancer may sometimes even capsize the legend in the gutter.

"what?"

Sauron frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid you didn't come here to test my skills, but to steal information about the underground ruins from me?"

Seemingly being hit by Sauron, the oriental dancer in front of her eyes dodged a little.

During this period of time, she had been secretly observing Sauron's actions, and found that many of his preparations seemed to be for certain specific situations. This made her very sure that Sauron had specific information about the underground ruins in his hands. If he didn't know the general situation inside the underground ruins, he would never deliberately prepare so many things.

Dongfang Dancer didn't speak, she seemed to be acquiescing to this, and then she said: "There is something in this underground ruins, it is a gem left by the desert kingdom. My task is to find it. As for other things, I will No, maybe we can work together if you think it's okay."

"Since you know about Her Excellency Di Ji's existence, you should also know about our strength."

"With our help, it will be much easier for you to explore the underground ruins, and we also need your information about them. After all, there is a terrible Balor demon sealed underneath."

The other party's words made Sauron fall into deep thought.

For a person like Sauron, there is basically no eternal enemy. He can even deal with the capricious, vicious and insidious drow mistress and cooperate many times. Now it is not impossible to cooperate with the oriental dancer in front of him.

only!

He couldn't believe the woman in front of him, just like he never believed in the promise of the drow mistress.

Dongfang Diji's people will not be easier to deal with than female drow!

However, their strength may still be able to be borrowed. Sauron is used to the insidiousness and cunning of the drow, so even if the woman in front of him is not trustworthy, he still has confidence in his heart.

It's nothing more than mutual use, each relying on means at critical moments.

Although he suffered a dark loss at the hands of the drow mistress back then, he also stabbed her severely in the end. When it comes to playing tricks, Sauron also has a bit of confidence in his heart.

"good!"

Sauron stared at the other party, unexpectedly nodded cheerfully, and said in a deep voice, "We're leaving the day after tomorrow! I still need something, maybe you can get it for me."

Oriental Dancer didn't seem to expect Sauron to agree so quickly, but in the end she still smiled and nodded lightly, her eyes turned: "No problem."

"What you want will be delivered tomorrow."

………………

That's how things seemed to be done.

Sauron finally decided to set off the day after tomorrow, and there was an extra high-level oriental dancer in the cannon fodder group, as well as some people she brought over. Although Sauron couldn't fully understand the situation in the underground ruins, there was a cloak that looked like an artifact to wanderers after all, so he remembered the general situation and area distribution inside relatively clearly. In this case, he is tantamount to occupying a favorable location, and even if an accident occurs, he is more than 50% sure.

so.

On the morning of the third day, this group of adventurers embarked on the road to the ancient ruins with nearly a hundred people and supplies close to a caravan.

Before it all starts!

Sauron must find the right excavation site and open a passage into the ancient ruins. (to be continued ~^~)
