Chapter 90 Whirlpool Secret Poison (Third Update)

"Loot No. 221: Cylindrical Maze"

"Source: Caravan of the Emerald Cross"

"Acquisition process: The temple sent us to rob a caravan from the Emerald Cross. Unlike most caravans, they did not carry any flags, which meant that they were not protected by any force. In this desert, This only proves that they are bent on death, or that they have the strength to protect themselves.”

"They are indeed very strong. After injuring three Silver Fire Knights, we led by the captain to completely annihilate the caravan. Presumably, under the escort of the three Silver Fire Knights, their souls will be purified in the flames. , climb the stairs of the sun and gain eternal peace.”

"While searching for loot, I found a very delicate cylinder in a tent that could be held in one hand. Just then, I found a child hiding in the dark, staring at the cylinder in my hand. .”

"Maybe it was the Tribulation Fire that confused my mind. I asked him what it was, and he said it was a family heirloom, which contained the secret of triggering the vortex."

"Before the captain comes in, I have completed the purification of the child. May his soul escape from this disaster place forever."

"I hid the cylinder. After some investigation, I found that it is a treasure called 'Maze'. It contains the breath of the four-winged magic spirit. If it is not opened according to the correct method, the mechanism left by the four-winged magic spirit will Automatically destroy the contents inside."

"My wisdom was not enough to solve the maze, so I pursued the wisest woman in the temple. After making a vow never to break, I gave the cylinder to her, and it took her a month to finally open it. Cylinder, get the secret inside."

"Relying on this secret, our magic power has improved by leaps and bounds. Because I am relatively stupid, I only triggered the vortex once, while she triggered it twice, and she has fully unfolded the silver wings."

"Until one day after I escaped from the virtual realm, I found the Templars restraining my body. She stood behind the knights with a serious look on her face."

"She reported me. There was a broken cylinder maze hidden in my clothes. She was promoted to the second wing and no longer needs this secret, and she no longer needs me. What she needs now is an opportunity to be appreciated by the temple. She needs relief. The secret poison of the vortex."

"I was sentenced to death for hiding and damaging important trophies. I could not be purified in the fire, but could only sink into nightmares in the sewage. Until the last second, I did not tell the secret in the cylinder, because the oath to never break was still After it took effect, she just unilaterally canceled the oath through a miracle after being promoted to the second wing, and the oath is still binding on me."

"Actually, if I use Miracle to Burn the Residual Body, I can temporarily suppress all the abnormal conditions on her body, and naturally I can break through the oath and expose her disguise."

"But looking at her, for some reason, I gave up."

"Perhaps the calamity fire has confused my mind."

"Final destination: destroyed."

Sonia crossed her hands and said, "The Tribulation Fire Temple... I have never heard of this force."

"Logically speaking, shouldn't a normal person express his feelings about this magician's emotional experience?"

"Do you really want to listen? I can't lie now."

"Then forget it."

"What's the way to trigger the vortex? Why did you jump over it on purpose just now?"

"I was wondering if I should tell you."

Sonia was slightly startled and wanted to shut up, but her expression was hard to suppress. Ash had never seen such a swordswoman before, and he almost laughed out loud.

Hearing the laughter, Sonia couldn't hold it in anymore and said in a suppressed voice: "You are so wary of me and want to eat alone? My value in your mind is actually not as good as a whirlpool secret?"

Ash was a little surprised: "So are you angry that I am wary of you eating alone, or are you angry that your status in my mind is not as high as you think?"

Sonia's eyes were almost visibly filled with anger: "I——"

"I'm sorry, don't answer, it was my fault." Ash said quickly: "I'm not wary of you, but this secret is poisonous, and once you understand it, you will get infected. I have already been tricked, anyway, we can enter the vortex together , so I don’t think you need to know.”

"Poisonous knowledge? I don't believe it." Sonia said, "I think you are lying to me, big liar."

"I have to say, you are really easy to deal with if you can only tell the truth." Ashi said, "Then I'll tell you, don't blame me."

"How is it possible? If I get tricked, I will definitely blame you for not persuading me; if I am fine, I will think that you lied deliberately." Sonia spread her hands: "Anyway, I won't feel that I am at fault."

"...It's really unreasonable." Ya Xiu sighed: "But the poison is not serious at the moment. As the saying goes, we are all in the same boat. I feel that I am the only one who has been poisoned..."

"The way to trigger the whirlpool is to find an intellectual creature of the ichthyosaur species, seriously injure it, and chase it after it escapes. But do not kill it, but let it collapse and die naturally. The location of its body will form a The vortex channel, this is because..."

Sonia and Ash said in unison: "The sea of ​​knowledge is embracing its sleeping child."

After saying that, Sonia looked at Ash in surprise.

She blurted out the words just now almost naturally, as if after listening to the knowledge introduced by Ash before, that knowledge bred new knowledge on its own and poured into her mind uncontrollably!

At the same time, Sonia felt a strange feeling. Although nothing had changed, she felt that the whole world was different!

She looked around, trying to find any differences, and soon her eyes focused on the sea water outside. After staring for a while, she felt a queasy feeling in her heart——

"The toxicity of this secret poison is that it makes us hate water." Ya Xiu said.

He opened "Aurora's Magician's Manual" - "Operator Management" and saw that both "Doomsday Viewer" and "Death Mad Sword Lady" had an additional abnormal state.

"Vortex Secret Poison"

"Number of people infected by secret poison: 131"

"Secret poison enhancement level: 131%"

"The current effect of the secret poison: aversion to water (the enhancement level reaches 300% to obtain enhancement, reduces to 100% to obtain relief, and reduces to 50% to obtain buffing effect)."

A very strange toxin that does not harm the body, but distorts the soul. The most terrifying thing is that the more people know this secret, the stronger the secret poison will be, and everyone who knows the secret will be implicated!

When Ash told Sonia the information about the secret poison, Sonia immediately put on a disgusting face: "Why didn't you just reject me firmly! Trumpet!"

You really do what you say, you will definitely blame me if you say you will blame me. Although it was much easier to get along with such a swordswoman, she also became a lot more annoying, like a double-standard naughty child who spoke unabashedly.

"Wait, you just said that if the number of infected people is less than 50, the secret poison will be transformed into a beneficial effect?" Sonia suddenly said: "Then we will kill all the other people who know the secret..."

She made a gesture of cutting her neck, and Ash immediately shivered: "Are you the wife who betrayed the axe-slayer in the story?"

"I won't betray you rashly until you feel sorry for me."

"Your truth is really disturbing..." Ya Xiu muttered.

After such a conversation, the two of them also understood why this secret was hidden in the cylindrical maze with no effort, and why the axe-slayer was betrayed - because even if you can keep it secret for yourself, you can't guarantee that others will not leak it. .

Once the secret is leaked and spread, the secret poison may reach a certain critical point and be strengthened to the point of near-fatal poison. For example, it will be completely inaccessible to water, or even cause shock and death upon contact with water.

When that critical point is reached, the weak who have no means of survival will die, and then the number of secret knowers will quickly drop to a safe level.

Therefore, those who know the secret are natural enemies. Each one who knows the secret must try his best to get rid of other secret knowers to reduce the possibility of being killed. It is for this reason that the wife of the axe-slayer unilaterally terminated her vow and decisively reported the axe-slayer to reduce the number of infections.

But even if everyone who knows the secret takes the initiative to keep the secret, the secret will still spread - just like Ash and the others, other magicians can also obtain similar information from the magician's manual.

The virtual realm is the sorcerer's grave, and death cannot keep secrets.

Therefore, after knowing this secret, Ash has taken a fatal poison and embarked on a path of no return.

If he does nothing, and one day the number of infected people suddenly increases rapidly, causing the secret poison to be strengthened to a level that he cannot bear, then he can only complain a few words, 'Why me? Why is this happening? ’ Afterwards, he ended his journey to another world under the torment of poison.

But unexpectedly, Ash didn't have much fear.

Because he knows that all difficulties presented by the virtual realm can be solved with one method.

From beginning to end, the magician has only one way to survive.

"Then we should find a fish-dragon species of knowledge creature." Ya Xiu said: "Only if we become stronger, can it be possible to alleviate the power of the secret poison, or even directly eradicate it - such as forgetting this A piece of knowledge - in short, we must make good use of this information obtained by poisoning, convert it into our strength as much as possible, and keep moving forward without stopping!"

"Isn't this natural?" Sonia said next to the boat: "Aren't we magicians such greedy creatures?"
