Chapter 1287: New Investigation

The beholder's eyeballs, um... the soul-draining fruit, let's just call it that for now. "Zheng Yichen looked at the materials in his hand and muttered, the activities in the dungeon have never ended, except for that troublesome doll, Zheng Yichen has successfully established a 'deep' relationship with many dungeon creatures. In the past, when the creatures in the dungeon looked at Zheng Yichen, they were all hopeless, and they almost followed this guy's hand to leave the dungeon.

In the face of these hard-working dungeon creatures, Zheng Yichen of course accepts all their efforts. All kinds of dungeon creatures are like providers of super materials. If you don't say it, you will be killed. This is also the reason, right? These dungeon creatures are stable material producers. The eyes of beholders can produce high-end spiritual magic items, and the soul-draining fruit is produced by a plant-based dungeon creature.

The function of this thing is to autonomously gather souls within a certain range, like some kind of magic prop, but this thing is just a material, and the strength of the whole fruit exceeds steel, and it can be eaten, but it is only for those who want to eat it There must be such a good mouthpiece as Zheng Yichen. Zheng Yichen has collected a lot of materials related to the soul. The production of soul gems must not be made into something that looks like a soul, and some foreign materials must be added to it.

Therefore, there is no harm in having more related things, even if they are not used in many cases, but in the research stage, it is better to have enough stock than anything else. There is a saying that is good, what if it is used? Just like the ghosts and gods that appeared recently, Zheng Yichen didn't expect to appear so soon, but they did appear in the end, and it was quite a successful example.

Many of Zheng Yichen’s preparations were useless, and Frostmourne had a well-formed example, so there is nothing to say, just follow this system, and put all the previous preparations into the research of the soul gem. There are already dark fighters created by the Dark Church as the leaders of the new power system. What Zheng Yichen has come up with now is just what the imitators have to do. power system.

What he made will be just a follow-up work... Well, there are more excellent follow-up works. Others develop this power system for their own power, and Zheng Yichen's is for everyone.

Looking at the fruit in his hand, Zheng Yichen stretched out his hand to peel off the skin, pinched the flesh inside which was made of cowhide, nodded slightly, and threw it into his mouth. These fruits are edible, even though they are kept Regardless of being able to passively attract the soul, make the soul the nourishment for the growth of this fruit, or even take root and germinate later, but for living beings, this thing can be regarded as an alternative tonic. Zheng Yichen didn't intend to eat this kind of weird thing at first, But after Annie's appraisal, she said that there is nothing wrong with Zheng Yichen taking this kind of thing as a snack.

It also has an added benefit to his soul.

As a Chinese who traveled across the earth, Zheng Yichen naturally has the habits shared by this nation, high nutritional value? Can it replenish the body? Is it a brick... confirmed by a real expert? So what are you waiting for? Eat something special, and besides being hard to chew, there is nothing wrong with it. Even after the taste has a sweet and sour feeling, Zheng Yichen feels uncomfortable if he doesn’t come here every day. .

Although he had only eaten for less than two days, there were no strange changes in his whole body, such as changes in his soul becoming stronger... Well, let's talk about it after eating for ten and a half days, Zheng Yichen is already very good at this. If it is strong, it will take effect quickly. After all, the existence that can meet the standard of eating this thing will not improve too quickly. If it cannot meet the standard of eating this kind of thing, the soul will be eaten by this fruit.

After eating the snacks, Zheng Yichen sorted out the materials at hand, and started the experiment to be done today. Although he lacked the soul-related knowledge in the relic library, the lack of it didn't mean that there was no way to start here. After all, Zheng Yichen has a larger treasure trove of knowledge in his hands. The reason why he is interested in the books over there is that he is interested in ancient knowledge. There is no and will not delay the progress of his plan. Of course, the observation of space nodes adapts The exercise has already started, and Zheng Yichen will not give up on this aspect of the operation just because he has figured it out.

In Puli Dungeon, Oss and the others haven’t gone out frequently to find the stronghold of the Dark Church recently. It’s enough to come once every three or two days. After learning the lesson last time, Oss also corrected his mentality. What kind of anger, if you want to overthrow the dark church, you need time to do it slowly. If you can't confront it head-on, just come from the side. Since it comes from the side, don't think that you can have a huge harvest in three or four days. The future will be long After ten years, eight years, decades, they will always be a thorn in the heart of the dark church.

On the side of Puli Dungeon, Oss has taken on a lot of jobs belonging to the Church of the Holy Church, and they do not reject these jobs. After all, adventurers can also serve as guest mercenaries, and the Church of the Holy Church has bypassed them by letting them do things. The steps of the mercenary guild are to find them directly. In fact, it is similar to finding them as a mercenary, except that the options are a little less.

They stayed in Puli Dungeon like this for more than half a month. Just today, Oss received a new commission.

"Captain, what's wrong with today's entrustment?" Green put a piece of grass in his hand on the ground, and the grass took root. Like the magic of Warcraft, although it still consumes mana or other personal power to use, it is very convenient to operate, just think about it, unlike fighting games, many attacks must follow the move table. Rub it out.

Magic is the latter.

"There's nothing wrong, it's just that there seems to be a new thing on the road." Oss said with a slightly weird face, and couldn't help pressing his left wrist. Ghosts of 'ghosts and gods', this kind of thing is a special kind of existence that has appeared recently, and there are not many of them. The name of ghosts and gods is also the kind of existence that claims to be, and it was spread later. There are rumors about ghosts and gods on the magic soldier forum. .

Oss just paid a little attention to this and then skipped it. No matter how you say it, that kind of thing has nothing to do with him. Besides, if you know more about it, you may not be able to get in touch with it, and there are a lot of true and false news on the forum. Maybe someone made up this thing. For things that have nothing to do with me, just read it as entertainment news, and ignore the rest, but now the Church of the Holy Church actually asked him to start investigating this matter. Then things like ghosts and gods are probably real.

"I'll go find Achill." After briefly explaining the commission, Oss left their residence, and when passing by the flower shop of the awakened saint, he couldn't help but glance over there, and there was another There were two new faces, probably the new Awakened Saintess, who did not stay here. He came all the way to the branch of the Church of the Holy Church in Puli Dungeon, and found Achill very smoothly. Here's Oro, he's no stranger to it.

The relationship with this mustache is mediocre, but the conversation between the two of them is reasonable, not to mention the bodyguard here, where Auror is, the other party must be there.

"Why do you want me to investigate ghosts and gods?" Oss asked straight to the point. The commissions from the Holy Church are generally aimed at special operations of some heretics or dark churches. Oss is also very interested in these operations. Enthusiasm, after receiving it on weekdays, after seeing that the reward is suitable, he will do it immediately, never ask why, loyal is like a player full of liver, as long as the task reward is enough, he will not beep more, He only asked where the person was, what his name was, how many times he was hacked, and others? Nothing to do with him.

But this time it's not about the two, but what kind of ghost? What does that have to do with him, a false believer, just because the name has a word of god on it?

"Well, in addition to the church's needs, there are also some needs from the Violet Merchant Guild. Your reward for this action will be partly provided by the Violet Merchant Guild."

"? Why is it involved in the Violet Chamber of Commerce again?" Oss was even more surprised. The church also has its own chamber of commerce, and it is a cooperative and competitive relationship with the Violet Chamber of Commerce. Generally speaking, there will be no intersection between the two, but this They got mixed up once, what's going on?

"Let's put it this way, the Ziluo Chamber of Commerce has witnesses of ghosts and gods. The reason is that some of their exploration teams encountered such existences as ghosts and gods during an operation, and they left behind convincing evidence. cards."

Oss nodded. The legendary card game has become popular. When you go out, you will either enter the unreal world to play, or you can play two games of wits and courage when you are free. In addition to being entertaining, the game also plays a role in other aspects. For example, it allows fledgling professionals to quickly understand some information about World of Warcraft or certain plants, as well as some well-known existences, so that they will not be confused because of their short knowledge. Missed a lot, or offended someone blindly...

Although many of the character cards are partial superficial information, the effects of monsters or prop cards are basically very comprehensive. They are very proficient in things like monsters and potions, let alone a fledgling professional. Even experienced professionals may not be able to memorize them all. Is it okay to learn more? It's easy to say, but how many people actually do it?

For those experienced professionals, the accumulation of more experience is not from daily learning, but from more experience and contact. The natural experience of survival is sufficient, and there is no future if they cannot survive. After card games became popular, professionals gradually learned about many things like Warcraft or poisonous insects that they had never touched before.

The benefits of card games are obvious. He didn't explode when he first appeared, but his popularity has never been lowered... When going out, every professional will more or less prepare one or two decks of cards. Anyway, many times If you are idle, you are idle, and it is not a loss to play two games, and the Ziluo Chamber of Commerce is an important chamber of commerce related to legendary card games, so it is not surprising that they are so active.

After all, a unique new type of card has been produced, which can always drive a group of people to go to krypton gold to try to open such a card. Ghosts and gods, it sounds like a new existence that has never appeared before, and you have to get it no matter what you say. One piece, especially for those who are collectors.

"So this investigation is considered to be a collaboration between the Church of the Holy Church and the Violet Chamber of Commerce? Is it not just me?"

Achill nodded: "You are just one of the investigation team. It was the same whether you were included in the investigation team, but I thought of another possibility, so I added you."

What he said made Oss couldn't help curling his lips. The poker face was still so straightforward: "Then I really thank you. What's the reason?"

"The Holy Church is investigating ghosts and gods, and other forces are also investigating, understand?"

Oss understands that other forces are also investigating, so in addition to the positive forces, there are naturally dark forces in the forces under investigation, such as the famous dark church, so there is nothing to say: "This entrustment is okay. , I'm going to prepare."

After returning to the residence, Oss immediately greeted Green and the others. After two days of rest, everyone was ready to start work: "Half an hour of preparation time, let's gather at the gate of the city."

Puli Dungeon is a neutral location, which is much more reliable than Kaga. Here they don’t need to hide their tracks, they need to go out to do something, just gather at the gate of the city, half an hour The preparation time is for everyone to buy some needed things by themselves. This is the case for every operation. After a long time, it is a special rule in their team.

"learn."

Half an hour later, Oss's team left Puli Dungeon. The people belonging to the Dark Church looked at the team and silently looked back. Oss and others have a special channel. If they take actions against the Dark Church, they will not It is impossible to find that this group of people has left Puli Dungeon. If it is normal, they will not hide their tracks. This time, leaving the dungeon is probably not an action against the Dark Church. Of course, information about him is still needed. Reported.

Cohen of the Dark Church also learned about Oss's movements, but he didn't pay much attention to him. Although the other party was the whetstone of the Dark Warrior, he was hurrying up to break through his new research at this time. The witch started, who cares about that little guy, let's talk about those things later, let alone Oss, even Cohen didn't care much about the ghosts and gods that appeared recently.

"Don't tell me about this, let me take care of it."

In the Magic Soldiers Forum, rumors about ghosts and gods are still popular. There are all kinds of rumors, but many of these rumors are false, and of course there are real news mixed in. These rumors are equivalent to The gold contained in the sand is like gold, and it depends on the individual whether it can be washed out. Sitting on the co-pilot seat, Oss looked at all kinds of news in the magic soldier forum, his head was getting big, and he couldn't tell which one was real and which one is fake.

For example, ghosts and gods themselves are a special kind of ghost, which may be the product of someone's research, such as the undead witch... how did you pull out the undead witch? Hasn't the opponent already been killed? Well, it’s not unusual for the Undead Witch to be killed again. Os was not born in the era when the Undead Witch was killed last time, but he was born in the era when the Undead Witch was killed this time, and he even participated in it personally. in.

He doesn't know if the Undead Witch is dead or not, but looking at the past records of the Undead Witch, she has died several times, and others think she is dead, but she didn't die in the end. It can only be confirmed after she reappears. The current undead witch is like Schrödinger's cat.

When the opponent does not appear, he may be dead or he may not be dead.

Although he doesn't know if the Undead Witch is really dead, he thinks that ghosts and gods are related to the Undead Witch. On the contrary, the other news is more reliable. For example, ghosts and gods have something to do with evil gods or false gods... But there are too many analyzes of similar statements, which are very mysterious, so let's say, there are really high-level spellcasters per capita on the magic soldier forum.

Oss wisely switched the page to the secret post. Compared with the magic soldier forum where reliable and unreliable coexistence, the information in the secret post is very reliable, but the news is a bit expensive. Oss just chose After seeing a few related information, I left the secret post. For example, ghosts and gods seem to have something to do with false gods or evil gods.

So what kind of gods are ghosts and gods? False god? Or evil god?

Because the investigation this time was supported by the Church of the Holy Church, Oss and others received quite sufficient supplies. The entire team was like the knight team temporarily organized by the Church of the Holy Church at that time, enjoying the same standard of remote support, including intelligence, etc. Things, so when they acted, the target was quite clear. Now they are going to an information location provided by a certain church. There have been traces of ghosts and gods in this location. Of course, this activity trace must be prefixed with a 'suspect' If it is confirmed, there is no need for them to come here to investigate anything, but if there is no confirmation, they will come to investigate.

It would be even better if witnesses could be found, divination?

Prophecy is not really omnipotent...

"A lot of people are looking for you. What have you done?" The young priest looked at Kezad, who was already staring at the figure in front of him. The other party already had a concrete human figure, but there were also slight distortion marks on his body. Those traces did not make him look unsightly, at least not in comparison with the image of the evil god. If he had to say it, he could be described as non-mainstream.

Kezad looked at the icicle hanging on his arm, stretched out his hand and rubbed it, he was sure he couldn't get it off, so he ignored it, he couldn't get rid of these traces, they were the derivatives of becoming ghosts and gods It is also the residual influence of the evil god's power on him, and the current non-mainstream image that is similar to a human is already the limit of his ability to restore himself.

It's better than being a monster. I don't have any dissatisfaction with Kzad's current appearance. At least he has a more legitimate human form. What are you asking for so much? It would be great if he could continue to live.

"Well, when I was walking at first, I met two weak people who were attacked."

"...and then?" The young priest opened his mouth slightly, and said with a little surprise. He originally thought that after Kezad was influenced by the power of the evil god, even if he got rid of the troubles of the evil god, he even made the power of the evil god become himself. Yes, but this kind of him must have changed in his original nature, right?

But in fact, except for some confusion in his memory, his nature has basically not changed much. When Kzad was alive, he was a kinder person, very kind? There are too few of them.

"I observed and understood the situation secretly, and then I came out to help and test my current strength by the way."

The young priest rubbed his forehead. He suddenly realized a question. When Kezad answered, he put the word "initially" in his words. What does it mean? He definitely did this more than once.

"The test results surprised me. After becoming a ghost, I am more than ten times stronger than when I was still alive. This is not the full strength, and there is still a lot of room for development."

What the hell, the young priest looked at Kezad dumbfounded, and the other party's tone didn't mean to show off at all, but why did he feel particularly envious and jealous after hearing it? Kezad has been living in his home for a while, and in daily chats, he also knows that Kezad was a high-level spellcaster when he was alive, and an existence that is too weak cannot last that long in the face of the erosion of the power of evil gods.

A high-level caster is more than ten times stronger, which is still an improvement in strength. Looking at Kezad's current image, he must have the ability of the ice system, which is the ability used by the evil god before he died. This kind of ability will only increase the strength of Kzad. It may not be as good as those false gods who have developed into cults, but as an individual combat power, he is already at the top level.

A ten-fold improvement, an ordinary person can fly over walls and catch bullets with his bare hands if his strength is increased by a dozen times, let alone a high-level spellcaster whose strength is increased by ten times, the more important thing is to listen to this What the guy meant, this ten times is far from the limit, why does it sound so enviable?

The young priest didn't know what to say, and even ignored Kezad's words after that... When he was "willing to help others", he seemed to feel some existence with a breath similar to his. I'm still not very familiar with it, and I'm not sure if I've really encountered a 'ghost' like myself.
