Chapter 96 After the Battle
"Ahem..."
The strong bloody smell spread over the surface, making Fangzheng and Nimfu's complexions a little ugly, but fortunately, with the complete destruction of the bright ruby shrouded in the holy light, this unlucky lord of the six-armed snake demon seemed to have no pain at all. After she reacted, she had completely turned into a puddle of blood and scattered everywhere. Apart from the stench, there seemed to be no other changes.
"It's finally over."
Looking at the wreckage and ruins that had no movement in front of him, Fangzheng also heaved a sigh of relief. Before, he thought that this task must be very difficult, but he didn't expect it to be surprisingly simple. Except for the hexagram, which was a little troublesome, there were almost no problems. Of course, it's all because of...
"Thanks to you, Nimf."
While talking, Fangzheng patted Nimfu's head beside him. Feeling Fang Zheng's touch, Nimfu showed a reassuring smile.
"It's nothing, master, this is what I should do."
"But then again..."
Having said this, Fangzheng seemed to have thought of something.
"Where did you get that ruby?"
"I took it from the fragment when I was investigating before. I wanted to give it to the owner, but it turned out that they..."
While speaking, Nimf glared at the old bishop.
"...I accidentally forgot, I am very sorry, Master."
"No need to apologize, you are the biggest contributor this time."
What Fangzheng said was sincere. He never thought that this seemingly weak and vulnerable little angel could play such a key role in such a seemingly extremely dangerous mission. Not only did she interrupt the resurrection ceremony of the six-armed snake demon lord in advance, but she also destroyed the altar, and even Bella's so-called "third eye" was taken away by her in advance... Fang Zhengzhen I want to click on her profile to see if the little angel's luck is EX rank...
If there is no Nimfu, Fang Zheng estimates that this task may be even more difficult. If the six-armed snake regains its real body, or if she uses this altar to open the gate of hell... Then Fang Zheng will have to face the choice of running or running or running.
"You are right, Your Excellency Fangzheng."
At this time, the old man had come to Fang Zheng and Nimfu again. Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the old man nodded.
"I have already checked that the magic circle hidden under the altar is actually the core of the gate of hell. Once it is activated by Bella, the consequences will be disastrous."
Having said this, the old bishop's face instantly became extremely serious.
"Not to mention, those people actually got the keys. This time it's too serious! Although it didn't cause too serious consequences, if something happens, the whole Northland will be in crisis!"
"So you plan to settle accounts with the White Tower of the Sky?"
As soon as Fangzheng heard the tone of the old bishop, he knew that this matter might not be good. Although Fangzheng and others "timely" stopped the evil deed this time, it is impossible for the other party to let go of the crime of collaborating with the enemy because they did not cause too much damage. Not to mention that Charles guy actually handed over the keys to unlock the seal to these cultists... By the way, where are the keys?
"it's here."
Perhaps guessing what Fang was thinking, the old man raised his right hand expressionlessly, and there was a purple gemstone ring lying in the center of his palm, but this ring seemed to be just dug out of the mud, it looked quite dirty And ugly.
"It has been polluted by the breath of the abyss. This will be the best evidence. This time, the White Tower will never escape punishment again!"
"This time?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then his expression became weird.
How do you understand the meaning of the old bishop's words... The White Tower of Heaven not only has a criminal record, but is it also a repeat offender?
"Hello! Bishop Karl! Fangzheng! Are you all right!"
At this moment, Stone finally rushed over with the members of the Pegasus Knights. After the altar collapsed, those frightened little monsters ran away quickly, but the cultists looked like they were going to die. The look of fighting to the end. Therefore, Stone and the others had to help the mercenaries deal with those cultists who were desperately resisting, and then they came to the altar to check the situation.
As for those scattered little monsters, in Shi Dong's opinion, these guys have no climate. After the master dies, they basically lose the ability to stay in this world. It is only a matter of time before they return to their own world, and there is nothing to worry about.
After this battle, Fangzheng and the others as the core were fine, but the peripheral casualties were heavy. Only half of the twenty or so Pegasus knights survived facing those little monsters. This is because Shi Dong was in the town, otherwise, I'm afraid they would all be wiped out.
And those mercenaries also suffered heavy losses. Only the mercenary captain, the two archers and the mage survived. The others were basically killed in battle, and Fina was also slightly injured. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, it was just that the impact of the explosion made her fall into a coma, so there was nothing serious about it.
But no matter what, they finally succeeded in stopping the damn plot of these cultists. After the old bishop's confirmation, the core of the magic circle hidden in the altar was indeed completely destroyed by Nimf, completely useless.
Although the mission was over, for the sake of caution, everyone decided to search the vicinity after discussion to avoid those cultists leaving any ghosts behind. Of course, before that, Stone also dispatched a Pegasus knight to deliver the news of the completion of the mission to the temple. Lest they still lose sleep all night... It's not good for their health.
Although the battle is over, for Fangzheng...it is not the end.
"Hey………"
Looking at the corpses that disappeared in the raging flames, Fang Zheng shook his head. To be honest, he didn't like to fight side by side with others. Whether it was in the world of Darkness or the world of Edge of Tomorrow, Fang Zheng basically acted alone, or only with his summoned creatures.
As for the reason...
"Mr. Fangzheng?"
Hearing the voice of the priest girl next to him, Fangzheng turned his head to look at her, and then sighed softly.
"I'm so sorry for putting you in danger."
"this is nothing."
Hearing Fang Zheng's apology, the priest girl shook her head instead. She looked quite embarrassed at the moment, not only was the priest's robe tattered, but there was also a roll of bandages wrapped around her head. There were still blood stains on her cheeks, and she was extremely tired at the moment, but she still stood here.
"Aren't you going to take a break?"
"I'll go later, but it's Mr. Fangzheng... you seem to be in a bad mood?"
"Not really."
As he spoke, Fangzheng looked at the bonfire in front of him again.
"To be honest, I don't really like that feeling."
"This feeling?"
"That's right."
Hearing Fina's question, Fangzheng nodded.
"Look at that big guy, you know? I had a conflict with him before, he didn't think I was worthy of being their leader, and then I beat him up, and then the two of us drank together... …and then he admitted me."
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, Fina's eyes widened in surprise.
"Why didn't I see it?"
"Oh, that's because I thought it was supposed to happen."
"Uh……………"
"just kidding."
Seeing Fina's complicated expression, Fangzheng smiled, but soon, the smile on his face disappeared.
"But to be honest, it's a really bad feeling."
What Fangzheng said was from his heart. He was born in a peaceful world, and he was faced with heavy work on weekdays, with endless meetings and staying up late to work overtime. Someone may leave, someone new may join, or someone may be fired. But none of these are life-threatening. He's made a lot of decisions too, but those decisions don't kill people.
But it's different here. Every decision he makes will endanger the lives of others, and even make them die.
Of course, these mercenaries and Fang Zheng have lived a lifetime, and the previous ones were all Fang Zheng's "brain supplements". But Fina beside her was different. She followed Fang Zheng to the Dark Swamp. Although they couldn't fight side by side after that, Fina also helped him a lot. If it wasn't for this god priest to buff those mercenaries, I'm afraid those mercenaries wouldn't last long.
But even this girl almost died.
If the death of those mercenaries only made Fang Zheng a little emotional, then Fina's almost death made him a little scared. This is not a game, NPC can be refreshed after death. At that time, Fangzheng was full of thoughts about his mission and how to deal with that damned six-armed snake demon. Now that he calmed down, he suddenly felt a little bit of fear——if he heard the news of Fina's death after he finished all this, then Fangzheng will definitely regret it.
After all, he could have taken part in the adventure without Fina, it was his own business, but because of this he involved people who had nothing to do with it. As a modern person, he is used to the "lonely" way of life, that is to say, others don't come to make trouble for him, but he will not make trouble for others. When you see someone in difficulty, you can go up and help, but you should protect your own safety first if you encounter danger. Fangzheng has never made a decision to send others to die...Of course, in his own world, it is impossible for those people to obey his orders to send them to death.
After all, Fangzheng is not a soldier.
Not only that………
Fangzheng stretched out his hand, turned on the system in front of him, and looked at the information prompt on it.
[The main world mission "The Gate of Hell" is completed, the ratio of the main world time to the instance time will be adjusted to 1:10]
On the surface, this task didn't seem to have any problems, just like what Fang Zheng had done in the dungeon world. But Fangzheng always had a strange premonition.
Because he still clearly remembered the law resonance triggered when he entered the temple for the first time in Xingyue City, as well as the prompt message given to him by the system at that time.
【Order parallel port detected】
【The port starts to activate】
As the designer and creator of the "Dimensional Code", Fangzheng certainly knew what this prompt meant, but since the "Dimensional Code" didn't say much after that, he didn't care. But this time, the system suddenly issued the main world mission to itself, but Fang Zheng suddenly recalled that incident.
He always has a feeling that this mission is actually a deal between the system and this world. He helps this world prevent the gate of hell from reopening, and the other party allows the "Dimensional Code" to make appropriate adjustments and changes to the time flow.
This is like the game body and DLC. If "Dimensional Code" is compared to the game body, then this world is the DLC. Only when you install and connect to the map of this DLC can you accept and complete the exclusive tasks of the DLC.
Then the problem comes.
Who is the "NPC" who issued this task?
Thinking of this, Fangzheng glanced at the badge on his chest.
He already vaguely has the answer.
