Chapter 40 Who Purifies Whom?
"Keyhole?" Ziyue spoke first before Wentian could speak. "Isn't that there? You can't see such a big hole?"
"where?"
"It's over there." Ziyue pointed to me with certainty, pointing to a place more than three meters above the ground.
I followed her fingers and searched for a long time, let alone the keyhole, and couldn't even see a crack. "Are you sure there is a keyhole there? Why can't I see it?"
"It's obviously there!" Ziyue looked around as if she was looking for something, and suddenly grabbed a spear from the hand of a person next to her. She held the end of her spear and pointed at a spot on the gate. "See? I've put the point of the spear into the keyhole."
"Are you kidding? Isn't the tip of your spear leaning against the door? There's nothing there!"
Wentian discovered the problem. "Ziri, can you really not see it?"
"What? Can you see it?"
Wentian turned around in surprise and asked the people behind him: "Is there anyone who can't see the keyhole?"
"I can't see." A player came out. "I can't see it."
Wentian continued to ask: "Who else can't see it?"
After waiting for a long time, no one answered, which meant that everyone else had seen the keyhole. There were at least forty or fifty people who came with us, but among all these people, only me and this player who had just stood up could not see the keyhole.
"What's your profession?" Wentian asked the player who, like me, couldn't see the keyhole.
The guy, a white man, responded very loudly: "I'm a Teutonic warrior."
"That means you two have different professions. It seems that this is not caused by profession." Wentian muttered.
Ziyue added: "It shouldn't be a matter of gender or country. The people who can see the keyhole here are both men and women, and their nationalities are obviously different."
"Then why?" I looked at the door strangely. "Can you really see it?"
A white female called a male player over and asked the player to stand by the door. Then she stood on the player's shoulders and used her hands to draw a round hole on the door. "Look at my hand, there is the keyhole inside. Can you two really not see it?"
"It's true that you can't see it." I replied: "I see that the place between your hands is a flat plate, which is no different from the surroundings."
The player also said: "There is nothing there!"
"It's really weird. Everyone else can see it, so why can't you two just see it?" Ziyue looked at the two of us up and down to find what we had in common.
"Really, since it's an illusion, just show it to Amynis." I summoned Amynis directly and asked her to see if there was a keyhole on the door above.
Amynis looked at it for a long time and shook his head: "There is nothing. Illusion is not used on the door. I can't see the keyhole anyway."
Ziyue pointed there and said, "Can you really not see it? It's right here!"
"I am a demon pet. My master lets me see it. How could I deceive my master? I really can't see!"
"Okay, that's not the problem. This is no ordinary door. There must be something blocking my view."
"Wait a minute." A player from behind suddenly shouted, and everyone looked at him. The player said to the person who couldn't see the keyhole like me: "Rhodes, didn't you fight with Luojiat this morning and kill him? Isn't it because of your famous name?"
When he said this, everyone looked at me, and I had no choice but to say: "I also have a red name!" When asked, we were the only two red names present. This keyhole was probably invisible to the red names.
Ziyue walked up to me and took the key: "I'll do it!" I was so confused, I didn't expect that Hong Ming wouldn't be able to see the keyhole even if he broke the door.
It was much easier for Ziyue to get the key. I called Ye Ying to go over and give her a foothold. The players behind me were all very excited when they saw Ye Ying. As soon as the key touched the keyhole, a white light suddenly flashed and the entire key disappeared. Ziyue was startled and fell off Yeying's back. Fortunately, I caught her from behind.
The door did not open after the key disappeared, but a magic symbol appeared on the surface of the door. After the symbol flashed for a while, a symbol actually appeared on the ground in front of the door, but the one on the ground was much larger than the one on the door. We all stepped back to make room to look at the shining magic symbol.
After a few seconds, a small black ball suddenly appeared above the symbol. Before we had time to react, the black ball suddenly grew larger and surrounded the few of us who were closer. After 'eating' us, the black ball suddenly shrank and quickly disappeared on the ground, and we who were just standing next to it also disappeared. The other players were stunned for a moment before realizing that we were gone, but Wentian immediately used SiLiao to inform them not to worry, we were not in any danger. After the black ball disappeared, the symbols on the ground quickly dimmed and finally disappeared on the ground, but the symbols on the door were always shining.
As for the few of us, our eyes only felt dark, and when it lit up again we were already in a completely unfamiliar place. If you look carefully, this place looks a bit like the Colosseum in ancient Rome. There is a large circle of stands around it, but we are standing in the middle of it. To be honest, I really like the Colosseum, especially the bullfights, but I don’t stand in the arena myself. I prefer to sit in the audience! The Colosseum in front of us is not big, only the size of two or three movie theaters. The surrounding stands are relatively luxurious, especially the 'chairman' stand directly in front, and there is a solid block of granite under our feet. I guess this is not a real Colosseum, although the shape is similar.
"Are you the ones who brought the key to peace?" A majestic voice appeared in the venue. We followed the voice and found an old man with a white beard walking down from the entrance above and sitting on the 'chair' platform, followed closely. There was a large row of people behind him, but almost all of them were old guys with big beards. These people quickly filled up the seats near the 'chair' table in the front of this small venue.
"Excuse me, what is the Key of Peace?"
"This is it." An old man next to the old man took out the key that we just disappeared.
"We brought it." I stood up and answered.
"So you are all warriors who came to help our Dragon Clan."
"Huh? Help? Please ask, what do you want us to help with?"
"We'll talk about what you're helping later. First, we need to test whether you are real warriors. There have been a few guys here before, but they were either weak or bluffing. We need to test them first." The old man glanced at us. "Yes, there are so many people here this time! Oh, there are 8 of them, that's great."
"Originally, dozens of us came, but the problem is that your ball is too small, and some people stood too far away and did not bring it in." Wentian added.
The old man sitting on the 'chairman' table in the middle said: "It doesn't matter whether the peripheral staff comes or not. The fact that you were in the center means that you should all be the backbone."
"That's correct." Wentian himself is the president, and Youya, who has been following him, also comes in. Next to him is a guy who has been silent but seems to have a high status. The remaining three are the ones I just talked to. The one with the same red name, the female player who helped us point out the keyhole position, and the male player who helped her step on the steps. As for me and Rose, of course we are the main ones.
"Excuse me, what are you going to test?" I'm more concerned about the content of the test.
"First, kindness."
"Ah?" How to test kindness?
The old man clapped his hands twice, and the floor behind us suddenly opened, and a large pool appeared in front of us. "This is blessed water, go down and take a dip. Kind people will be blessed."
"What will happen if the evil people go down?" I was more worried about my own safety.
"It will be burned to death by the purifying fire immediately, ensuring that no residue is left. There can only be pure things in this water, and all filth will be washed away. Those who have not been purified will pass the test."
faint! It seems there is no chance! "Can I abstain?" The system won't know whether someone is good or not, so the only criterion is the evil value. A person like me who has a super famous reputation will definitely be dead and gone. If he is accidentally purified, he will suffer a huge loss.
"Huh? Abstain?" My words shocked the old men above. I had never heard of anyone abstaining from the vote after all the hard work.
An old man on the side of the 'President' stage said: "Are you afraid of the test later? Don't you..."
"I'm afraid of this pool!"
Several old men walked down from above, including the old man in the center who seemed to be the leader. They came to me, and the old man who took the lead said: "This is just a blessing pool, there is nothing to be afraid of."
An old man next to him said that he took the initiative to walk into the pool. As soon as he got in, his body immediately flashed with beautiful blue brilliance. "Look, isn't this very safe? This is a powerful blessing from the Dragon Clan, and it's a good thing for you."
"Let me think about it, okay?" These old stubborns want to kill me! I won’t be able to get promoted even if I’m famous!
"Okay, you go last." The old man turned to Wentian next to him: "Since he is scared, you go first, right?"
Wentian did not go down immediately but asked: "What can I get from completing the test?"
"Those who complete all the tests can receive gifts from the Dragon Clan, very generous gifts."
After hearing this, Wentian no longer hesitated and jumped down. The water in the pool was very clear. There were steps under the water that got deeper and deeper towards the center. Wentian entered the center directly, but it seemed that he had good water skills. After he went down, he turned around under the water and came up again. "This water is so comfortable!"
The old man immediately smiled and said: "Look, let me just say, kind people will not be punished. Isn't it very simple?" 5555~The problem is that I am not a kind person! "Who's next?"
Youya followed and jumped down, but it was nothing. As a result, everyone jumped in one after another. In the end, only me and the red name were left who didn't dare to do it. The old man looked at the red-named player. "Why don't you go down yet?"
"I...I...I can't swim." I can't even lie!
"It doesn't matter. If you don't know how to swim, just don't go into the deep water. Aren't there steps on the side? Just stand in waist-deep water." The old man is like a kidnapper of a good woman. satyr.
"I...I...I'm hydrophobic." You can imagine such a classic lie. It seems that people still need to be in extreme circumstances to realize their potential in lying.
"Oh! This is easy to handle." The old man turned to the other old man next to him. "Xiyuyura."
The old man immediately stretched out his hand, and a ball of water suddenly flew up from the pool. As soon as the water balloon took off, it immediately flew towards the red-named comrade, scaring him so much that he ran around all over the place. But the water polo was tracking, and he didn't run away in the end. With a sudden splash, a water ball exploded above his head, and blessed water poured over his head and body.
The guy waited for a few seconds with his eyes closed and there was no reaction at all. He carefully opened his eyes and patted his whole body and suddenly shouted: "Haha! I'm fine! I'm fine! This water is not a test..."
boom! Before he could finish speaking, a ball of fire suddenly rose from the soles of his feet, and almost instantly he turned into a pile of powder. My jaw dropped immediately, that's amazing!
"This man's heart is not kind enough. The blessed water has completely purified him." After the old guy said that, he turned and looked at me, which made me shiver. The look in this guy's eyes was so scary. "The last warrior...? It's your turn."
"I want to abstain!"
"Unfortunately, I have to tell you that there is no such thing as abstaining from the Dragon Clan." The old man looked at me coldly, and then suddenly looked around me. "Throw him down."
"No... no... no... don't... don't... ah!" I thumped and finally couldn't break away from these old men. Although they were in human form, they were dragons after all! Can I defeat a group of dragons by myself?
After falling into the water, I immediately surfaced nervously. They threw me into the deepest part of the center of the pool, and I could only float there by treading water. Looking at the blessed water next to me, I knew I was doomed. He quickly said his last words: "Ziyue, when I saw Lin Yue, I told her that I sacrificed my life to save her. Don't say that I didn't save her!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the water in the pool started to react. It seemed that flames were about to appear. I didn't expect that the monster didn't kill me and I entered the central area of Dragon Island, but I was killed by a group of old dragons! Wentian and the others all looked at me with great pity. They thought I was just someone with an ordinary red name that could be washed away. Who knew I had that kind of super devil-level red name!
The water in the pool began to fluctuate under me. A small bubble suddenly rose from the water and exploded on the surface. Then more and more bubbles began to appear in the pool. I found that something seemed wrong. After a few seconds, the entire pool was bubbling with bubbles like a boiling pot. The large number of bubbles made the room steam like a bathhouse. The water in the pool was turning more and more violently, and a lot of steam began to appear on the surface. I felt that the water temperature did not rise, but that the water kept turning.
"Ah! What happened?" The 'Chairman' Old Long shouted in panic. People who get into the blessing pool are either blessed or purified. This is the first time for him like me to see this.
The churning of the pool water showed no sign of ending but continued to intensify. I suddenly felt that my feet touched the ground. This is the center of the pool. The water is about three meters deep. How could I touch the bottom of the pool when I am clearly floating on the water? The increasingly solid weight under my feet clearly told me that I had indeed stepped on the bottom. When I stood still, I found that the water level was still falling. The water level passed my chest and dropped to the waist level and was still falling. Soon the water dropped to the bottom of my feet until it completely disappeared. The pool turned into a big pit. The original bottom of the pool was still steaming and looked scary. The entire room was completely covered in mist, and we could hardly see anything.
Suddenly I heard an old voice: "Wind Exorcism"
I just felt that the water vapor in the room was rushing out from several exits like it was sucked away by the exhaust fan. When the water vapor was drained away, all the old men blinked and looked at me standing at the bottom of the dry pool. . Seeing the twitchy expressions on those old men's faces, I quickly explained: "It's none of my business! I told you not to throw me down, but you insisted on throwing me in."
sweat! It is estimated that this pool is because my evil degree is too exaggerated, and these good elements are not enough to purify me, so instead of being purified, the water in the pool is evaporated. Being a big devil is not really useless, at least I am not afraid of purification.
Ziyue quickly came to my side and whispered: "You are so fierce. Such powerful blessing water cannot purify you, but makes you evaporate the water in the pool!"
I replied in a low voice: "Thanks to the evaporation, it would be troublesome if all the demons turned into a pool of black blood!"
"Eh? What is that?" Ziyue suddenly pointed at the bottom of my feet.
I picked it up and looked at it. It was a black crystal stone. Open the properties and take a look, good guy. This thing is called evil crystal, and its effect is unknown. I think this is probably the result of the demonized pond water just now, so I should put it away quickly and let those old men see it.
Looking up at the old dragons above, they seemed to be too busy arguing and had no time to pay attention to us. "Well, do you guys have anything else to assess?"
The old men above discussed for a while, and the old man who was the leader said: "The six people who entered the water first, you have proven your kindness, and there will be no problem in passing. But you..." He pointed at me. "This pool of water has even been purified by a lower-level god-level demon. Your evil power actually evaporated such high-purity blessed water. It seems that you are also a super-demon-level evil creature."
"Although I evaporated the water in the pool, you said that if it has not been purified, it will pass. I have not been purified anyway. Do you want to break your promise?"
"This...!" The old man immediately started discussing with the old men on both sides. After a while, he continued: "The Dragon Clan always keeps its word. Since you have not been purified, you have passed, but you do belong to the evil force. , so we are going to make it more difficult for you in the subsequent games.”
"I passed anyway, you can't lie about it."
"Of course, but you are an evil force after all, we can't be careless." After saying that, he raised his hand, and the pool behind us closed automatically, but a small door opened next to it, and a young man came up carrying a plate. The old man appeared in front of me in a flash. He took off the red cloth on the tray, and underneath it was a dragon-shaped ring (there is a picture of the ring in the album). "This is the dragon ring of our dragon clan."
I took the ring and looked at it carefully. The gold ring was longer than ordinary rings and it had a double-ring design. It looked more like a giant dragon coiled around my finger than a ring. There are two blue gems on the dragon's head, which are the dragon's eyes. It feels very beautiful and looks peaceful.
The old man continued: "If you wear this ring, it will suppress the evil forces, so your combat effectiveness will be limited. If you agree to wear it, we will let you participate in the following test."
I looked at the ring. "Is this thing for me to keep temporarily or is it given to me?"
"Originally I didn't want to give it to you, but this thing will recognize its owner. Once it is put on it, it can never be taken away unless the owner's soul is destroyed, so you can't take it off if you put it on."
I put the ring back on the tray. "That won't work. It's nothing to take your test, but if this thing wants to permanently suppress my power, then I will be at a big loss. If you don't do it, don't do anything." Seeing his eyes, I backed away nervously: "Aren't you saying again that you can't refuse?"
"You're right, come on everyone."
I turned around and wanted to run, but there were too many dragons here. I was knocked down as soon as I took two steps. I wanted to call my magic pet for help, but as soon as Fenglong came out, an old guy used a magic ball to shut him in. No matter how I called, it was useless. Several old guys held down my limbs, and the leader tried his best to pull my fingers apart, and then put a ring on me. The whole fight lasted for more than ten minutes, during which I kicked three of them, knocked over one, and beat the conductor into a panda eye, but the ring was still put on. Originally, Ziyue wanted to help, but she was knocked down as soon as she moved. It didn't matter if Tianhuo was summoned. There were dragons here, and they all seemed to be leadership-level dragons. Tianhuo only passed two moves. He was knocked down by three dragons. Wentian and the others didn't dare to move when they saw this, let alone help.
After finally putting on the ring, the old man who was directing asked the dragon next to him to apply medicine on his panda's eyes and said: "Humph! You little guy, you're not weak yet. Ouch! Be gentle! Haha! Don't be arrogant anymore. ! Let me tell you, this is Dragon Island, not Insect Island."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the ring on my finger suddenly changed, and the blue dragon eyes suddenly flashed with unstable light. The blue light became dimmer and dimmed until it went out. The two sapphires as dragon eyes on the ring actually turned gray. The old man cursed angrily: "You are the reincarnation of the King of Destruction! You have ruined both of us in a row!" An artifact!"
"I said I didn't want to bring it, but you insisted on bringing it to me and now you blame me." I was scared to death. Fortunately, it was broken, otherwise I would have suppressed my power forever.
Just when the two of us were in a stalemate, something suddenly went wrong with the ring. A loud dragon's roar came from my ring, and then the dragon's eyes on the ring suddenly lit up again, but Yan' The color is wrong. The blue longan actually turned red, and it looked very scary, and seemed to be very lethal.
I opened the properties of the ring and took a look. Evil dragon guardian (artifact), ring. Description: Strengthen evil power and increase evil aura. Effect: All physical attacks are equipped with evil invasion capabilities, causing the opponent's wounds to be unable to heal. The spread of evil spirits over a large area has a certain deterrent effect on all just and neutral creatures. Comes with passive skills: transform killed creatures into undead creatures. Unless the creatures are liberated or suffer a certain amount of damage, they will not disappear automatically (the upper limit is 100 individuals).
All the giant dragons above were trembling with fear. "You...how did you demonize all our justice rings?"
"I can't control it. My attributes are like this. Every time I catch a demon pet, they are all demonized by me. The same goes for the equipment."
"Forget it, I'll probably be even more unlucky if I keep struggling with you like this." All the dragons turned into human forms and returned to their seats. It seemed that they had given up on suppressing my evil attributes. Hehe, these idiots gave me a ring for free, and they took advantage this time.
Ziyue asked anxiously when she saw those old guys asking us to take the test. "How long will your test take? Can I find someone first?"
"Looking for someone? We don't have humans here. It seems like the seven of you are not all humans, right?"
"No, no, I made a mistake. I want to find a dragon."
"Do you still know the dragons here?" The old dragon leader said: "The dragon you just summoned seems to belong to the Asian dragon clan. You actually know the giant dragon from our European dragon clan?"
"Yes. I want to find Lin Yue."
"Lin Yue?" The old man was startled. "It turns out to be the troublemaker!"
Listening to the old man's words, it seems that Lin Yue is not a fuel-efficient lamp here. But what's even more strange is that these old guys from the Dragon Clan keep asking us to test. Is there anything they need us to do? It looked like the Dragon Clan was sealed on the way here. Do they want us to open the seal?
