Chapter 709 Eye of Disaster (5,000)

The room was dark, and the noisy noises far and near gradually became inaudible. The faint moonlight seeped through the crystal glass, adding to the loneliness and coldness. .

Two figures, one sitting on the ground half-leaning against the wooden door, the other standing quietly holding on to the window lattice, patted off the seal of the wine can, raised his head,

"Ahem..." The man by the window didn't seem to be good at drinking. He inadvertently raised his head and took a sip. He immediately coughed repeatedly and his figure trembled slightly.

"Haha, haven't you drank before?" Tang En wiped the wine stains from his mouth, squinted at the other party's unusual embarrassment, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. But then he looked at the heroic face with a little blush, his eyes couldn't help but stagnate, he subconsciously licked his lips and looked away.

"Ahem...well...clergymen should avoid drinking alcohol and be cautious." He breathed out and suppressed the continuous coughing. The figure by the window, Xia Wei'an, frowned and seemed to want to put the wine jar aside, but in the end Still holding it in hand. She really needs this thing now to soothe, or to be more precise, to numb her complicated emotions...

He shook his head disapprovingly, "Ha, you should just abide by these. The clergy I know are all full of all five poisons, and they are just a slippery slope when they play... Okay, let's not talk about this."

Looking at Xia Wei'an whose eyes were filled with anger, Tang En spread his hands and did not expose her self-deception. He changed the topic: "Let's talk about our escape plan first. There will definitely be a mess in the temple tonight, so I shouldn't have time to pay attention to it. Us. But in the short time of midnight, it is not easy for us to successfully escape from the following pursuit. So I suggest that we stay here for a day, two days at most... As the saying goes, well, in the end The most dangerous place is also the safest place!"

After a pause, he continued, "Starting from tomorrow morning, the temple will go crazy. But with this midnight buffer, their search will definitely focus on outside the Holy Light City. And if they search frantically for a day, there will be no one there yet. Once they find our traces, their confidence and morale will inevitably be leaked. When the time comes, if we pretend to evacuate, the possibility of success will be much greater... Well, what do you think of this plan? "

This is the so-called reverse thinking, taking things by surprise. Of course, there are also possibilities for self-defeating. But considering the deadly things that Tang En took away, and the threat that Xia Wei'an posed to the temple's top brass, it would be strange if those big shots didn't go crazy. They wouldn't think too much about it then.

Xia Wei'an nodded silently and had no objection. As Tang En said before, Xia Wei'an is indeed not as professional as him when it comes to running away!

"Well, that's the general plan. What I have to do next is to deal with the search. And you, Sir Xia Wei'an, you are the Holy Grand Knight, and you are familiar with various tracking techniques in the temple. Especially those such as detection magic, I’m really not good at this, can I leave it to you to solve the problem?”

The reason why Tang En and Xia Wei'an did not fight immediately or simply separate after leaving the temple was because they both knew that if they wanted to escape successfully, they had to rely on each other's help.

Tang En needs Xia Wei'an's understanding of the temple's tracking magic, and Xia Wei'an needs Tang En's professional running skills. Each needs what the other needs, and one cannot exist without the other.

Xia Wei'an nodded lightly: "No problem, but I need something, which is relatively expensive. You have to find a way to buy it for me from the magic prop shop in the city."

"I'm happy to help. I dare not say anything else. I have plenty of money!" With a quarter's profit from the Bounty Hunter Guild in hand, Tang En waved his hand grandly, and his nouveau riche temperament was clearly visible.

After making a rough escape plan, the room fell into silence again.

Of course, the source of this silence did not come from Tang En. Having successfully achieved the goal of this trip, and now his life is not in danger, Tang En is fine and relieved. He even thinks about the miserable situation of the temple before, and can't help but gloat and chuckle secretly.

At the same time, I can't help but feel a little emotional. The power of the demon skull is really too powerful, beyond everyone's expectations... Fortunately, I didn't throw it out by myself at the time, otherwise, based on the erasure of the temple mage group, my health level would be It has to soar...

He smacked his lips happily, and then Tang En shook his head regretfully. It's a pity that the devil's skull was shattered on the spot after it exploded with such terrifying power. It was completely disposable... Well, it must have been severely purified by the power of light before, and then it couldn't hold on under the return of light. ...Oh, what a pity! If it's not broken, with one bone in hand, where in the world can't I go? If you don't like anyone, just smash them in the head. It's absolutely fine...

It has to be said that Tang En's infinite lust is the reason why Xia Wei'an feels sad and dull.

She was the one who threw the demon skull. Although it was indeed out of good intentions and she was very dissatisfied with the current situation of the temple, after seeing the explosion of the demon skull, many injured knights, countless collapsed buildings, and finally the fallen statues ...It’s full of devastation and a mess! Xia Wei'an still couldn't help but feel sad. At the same time, she was also a little confused about her previous firm belief. After paying such a high price, was she right? Still wrong? Can anyone give me the answer...

There was silence for a while, but Tang En finally broke the silence, raised his head and swallowed the wine bottle in his hand: "Ah... Well, what are your plans after you leave here?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Tang En tapped his forehead and realized that he had asked a stupid question. Not to mention whether Xia Wei'an can still consider the future in her current state. Even if you have any plans, you can't just tell him.

However, after a moment of silence, Xia Wei'an suddenly said: "Wait! Keep waiting!" There were only a few words, but the decisive meaning of persistence in them was extremely strong.

Tang En's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he shook his head slightly. wait? Then I'm sorry, the report letter has been destroyed by me. The person you are waiting for is destined to not come... Moreover, are there all good people in the General Assembly? Not necessarily! I am here to help you, so that you will not be deceived again...

Of course, these words cannot be said clearly. Xia Wei'an is the enemy after all, and Tang En will not do thankless things. Putting his fingers lightly on the edge of the wine can, he said casually: "I'm presumptuous in asking. I won't say this... Oh, by the way, when I think of the demon skull, I also remember that I saw a huge eyeball in the forbidden area before, which was quite scary. Yes, what is that?"

This is another important reason why Tang En did not separate from Xia Wei'an. He took a total of three things from the forbidden area of ​​​​the temple - a demon skull, a huge eyeball, and recorded evidence!

Excluding the transaction records, the demon skull has already demonstrated appalling and terrifying power. As a result, Tang En was naturally itchy about the role of the huge eyeball, and secretly wondered if it was also a big killing weapon like a demon skull!

So this seemed like a casual inquiry, but in fact Tang En's ears were already perked up...

"Big eyes?" Xia Wei'an was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression suddenly changed as if he thought of something, "Are they oval-shaped and bloodshot?"

"Uh, that's right... do you know him?"

"Eye of Disaster! How is it possible? How is it possible..." Xia Wei'an's body suddenly tensed up, and she subconsciously clutched the wine bottle in her hand. She took a few steps back and forth under the window, feeling lost. "The evil power of the demon skull is too strong. It cannot be destroyed immediately...but the Eye of Disaster is such a harmful thing and its material is fragile. Why is it left in the temple and not destroyed directly..."

"Eye of Disaster?" The name is so exciting, could it be that I have found a treasure again... Tang En licked his lips, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and raised his head blankly, "I've never heard of it, what is this? ?”

"This is... wrong!" After a pause, Xia Wei'an suddenly turned her head. The previous moment, she was as sad as a rusty knife, but at this moment, the lead was suddenly washed away, and she was as sharp as a sharp sword. She raised her right hand, and the corner spear flew into her hand instantly. Taking a step forward, the blush on his cheeks that had appeared because he didn't drink often disappeared instantly. He stared at Tang En with his eyes fixed on him and shouted in a deep voice, "You stole the Eye of Disaster!"

Well, feeling the almost substantive icy murderous intention rushing towards him, Tang En automatically moved his body in the windless gown. He first subconsciously made a defensive posture, and then opened his mouth inexplicably: "Steal the Eye of Disaster? I won't just take it." Demon skull...huh? What do you mean?"

As if he had just come to his senses, Tang En's face suddenly darkened, "You doubt me? I rescued you, and you actually doubt me...woman! Phew..." He let out a long breath and slowly pressed his back against the door. He stood up and laughed angrily, "Haha, okay, let's take action, right? Come on! It's just being noticed by the temple. At worst, after I kill you, I will just continue to run away. Come on!"

With a low growl, Tang En turned his hand and revealed the dagger. Tang En's body bowed slightly, like a black panther about to attack for prey.

quiet! silence! Dead silence! The air in the room seemed to be sucked out instantly, becoming cold and rigid. The two of them were about ten steps apart, glaring at each other angrily, and neither of them gave in. A fierce battle was about to break out!

But at this moment, perhaps because he was worried about being noticed by the temple during the fight, or because he didn't find any flaws, Xia Wei'an narrowed his eyes, suddenly took a step back, shook his hand, and returned the spear to the corner of the room again.

The icy murderous intent in the room disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared before. He raised the wine can and took a sip, "You want to know about the Eye of Calamity?"

Tang En frowned slightly, as if he was still a little dissatisfied, but finally took a slight breath, turned his right hand, put away the dagger, nodded, and sat down against the wooden door again: "I'm just a little curious... Well, I'm even more curious now."

No one mentioned the conflict just now, and Tang En seemed to be suppressing it. But who knew that he was letting out a long sigh of relief in his heart, secretly sighing, life is really like a drama, it all depends on acting skills...

"It doesn't hurt to tell you. Anyway, now that you know the name, it will be easier to find relevant information." Xia Wei'an pursed her lips and said, "Now that you have seen the Eye of Disaster, you must also be able to find that it is not real. Eyeball. Yes, to be precise, it is actually just a piece of ore. It first appeared in the world about eight hundred years ago, when it was dug out of an ordinary iron mine by a miner..."

After a pause, "No one knows the specific situation at that time. They only know that after the miner took the Eye of Disaster out of the mine, everyone in the mine went crazy. His eyes were blood red and he would kill everyone he saw. Even father, son and brothers. They became sworn enemies! Then, these crazy miners rushed out of the mine, killing pedestrians on the road, or in towns and farms, killing thousands of miles along the way. The scene was extremely tragic..."

Tang En couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "Uh... is it caused by this thing?"

"Not bad!" Xia Wei'an's eyes flickered and she glanced over, "Have you ever seen that thing? How did you feel in your heart at that time?"

The demo, you still want to test me... Tang En reacted so quickly. He frowned and thought at first, and then his face became slightly enlightened, "I was discovered by the guards at that time, and time was urgent, so I only glanced briefly. But now that I think about it... Well, I seem to have a feeling. , but I can’t tell you specifically, it’s just not very comfortable anyway.”

After hearing this, Xia Wei'an nodded lightly and looked away: "That's because you have good concentration as a warrior, and more importantly, your heart is evil enough... Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth! Eye of Disaster The biggest characteristic is that it can provoke and infinitely expand all kinds of desire, hatred, and dark side in people's hearts... Of course, if a person has already committed a lot of evil and regards evil as ordinary, his resistance will naturally be much greater."

With a sarcastic comment on Tang En, Xia Wei'an continued, "Let's put it this way, for example, I wanted to buy something from you, but because the price couldn't be negotiated, you didn't sell it to me in the end. This was a normal transaction. , but if I see the Eye of Disaster, I will wonder in my heart whether you are deliberately playing tricks on me? Looking down on me? Or even whether you have long been grudged against me and want to find an opportunity to kill me... In this case, of course I have to strike first Be strong!"

After a pause, Xia Wei'an looked at Tang En, who was stunned, with a solemn expression, "This is not far-fetched, and it is definitely not an exaggeration! In terms of direct power, the Demon Skull is naturally much stronger than the Eye of Disaster. But if In terms of harm, the Demon Skull is completely incomparable to the Eye of Disaster. So..."

He took a deep breath and said with cold eyes, "If you let me know that you really stole the Eye of Disaster, I will hunt you down to the end of the world!"

"Uh... you're thinking too much." Tang En replied calmly with a slight twitch in his mouth. However, deep down in my heart, I couldn't help but secretly smack my tongue... If what Xia Wei'an said is true, then the power of this Eye of Disaster is indeed immeasurable!

The Demon Skull is terrifying enough, but it can only destroy an area at best, but the Eye of Disaster is different. Although it sounds like it cannot be used directly in combat, and its influence on warriors is much weaker, it is completely useless. But don’t forget that the majority of people in this world are always ordinary civilians, who have basically no resistance to the Eye of Disaster.

In this way, neighbors quarreling, couples quarreling, adults lecturing children, etc. These trivial matters, the anger that would have disappeared in a night and a half, will be exploited and expanded infinitely by the Eye of Disaster.

You scolded me and I deserve to be killed!

The way you look at me is wrong, you want to kill me!

You didn't look at me, that means you looked down on me, and you still killed me!

…

Imagine that the mountains and plains are full of crazy civilians with blood-red eyes, holding butcher knives, and shouting "kill, kill, kill"...Tang En twisted his body slightly and changed his sitting position. If he wasn't afraid of being seen by Xia Wei'an, , I really want to swallow the saliva that has accumulated in my throat for a long time.

This damn thing is really terrifying!

"Hehe...hehe..." Unconsciously laughed twice, Tang En's mind was spinning, he touched his nose and said, "I think I know now why your temple didn't destroy this thing."

"kindness?"

"Although this thing is called the Eye of Disaster, and it seems that it can only bring disaster, it is an indisputable fact that it can control people's hearts. Tsk tsk..." After smacking his lips, Tang En shook his head and sighed, "If you use it well, this thing It is indeed a perfect weapon for religion to confuse believers!”

Originally it was just a random joke to change the subject, but when Tang En cleared his mind, the more he talked about it, the more he felt that this matter was absolutely inseparable.

In fact, the Temple of Light did think so. The reason why it had not been used before was just to get rid of the evil spirit of the Eye of Disaster first. But who would have thought that in the end, Tang En would be advantaged...

Of course, Xia Wei'an didn't believe this, and Zui Ran's face suddenly sank: "That's nonsense!"

What I need is your attitude, otherwise how can I find an excuse to leave...Twain shrugged, pretending to be nonchalant, then raised his head and drank the last sip of wine, patted his clothes and stood up: "Okay, no more. .Well, it’s quite lively tonight, but I’m also a little tired. So, good night!”

Opening the wooden door, Tang En raised his hand casually, "By the way, let me give you a suggestion. Well, actually it's not bad to have a drink when you have nothing to do. At least you are much more attractive now than the bitter and resentful look before. !" After saying that, he quickly rushed to the door and closed the door.

There was no sound of a wine can hitting the door, but a cold snort could be heard faintly. Tang En smiled and shook his head, walking towards the stairs easily.

What, Xia Wei'an is drunk? Uh, what do you want to do...

Please, let’s not talk about the legendary drunken surname, which is mostly just a ridiculous excuse. Even if Xia Wei'an is really drunk, with her cultivation, she can get rid of the alcohol in seconds and quickly return to fighting state.

Want to take advantage of this moment? Haha, that's more like seeking death!

Walking down the corner of the stairs, Tang En paused slightly, looked up at the closed door, raised his eyebrows, reached into his arms and took out an oval object, tossed it casually, and murmured silently, "I have a headache... …What do you want me to do with you? I can’t bear to leave it behind, but it’s like a bomb when I carry it with me…”

He caught it, raised it to his forehead, and narrowed his long eyes, "Controlling people's hearts? Are you so awesome... huh?" After a pause, he suddenly said,

Cave, stone platform, wild laughter, neighing, two tangled and undulating figures...scenes of scenes buried deep in his heart flashed through Tang En's mind rapidly.

Ouch... He leaned back and quickly moved the oval object in front of him. After a pause, Tang En stood there blankly, with a gloomy and uncertain look on his face, and finally continued walking down the stairs while holding his forehead.

"Think too much, think too much... Don't tempt me anymore. Although I am a single man and a widower, I am a serious person..."
