Chapter 927 Ophelia
I stared at the woman in front of me, and she was also staring at me. However, one of us was a real person of flesh and blood, and the other was a shadow made of light.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Out of politeness, I asked first and nodded slightly at her.
"I am the Fairy Queen Ophelia," she said, "the sixteenth person in charge of Moonlight City."
"Ophelia!"
The goblin leader's surprised cry came from the call crystal.
The goblin patriarch could react like this. It seemed that she must have heard about Ophelia. So, I picked up the call crystal and asked in a concerned tone: "What's the matter, Grandma Patriarch?"
"Ophelia, you actually met Ophelia! This is incredible, incredible!" The goblin leader's voice trembled, and she was already so excited that she could not speak coherently.
After a while, the leader of the goblin tribe regained her composure. She asked me in an extremely serious tone: "Xiao Yi, my child, tell me where you are now. I will go there now! Immediately! Immediately!"
"Okay" I said.
I roughly went through the location of the tomb in my mind, and just when I was about to speak, Ophelia spoke first: "There is not much magic left to maintain the image. I am about to disappear. The young adventurer who summoned me. , can you tell me your choice?"
"Well... what choice?" I looked confused and couldn't understand what she was talking about.
Ophelia spread her hands and said: "Tell me, young adventurer, would you choose this mountain of treasure, or the thing lying in the metal box?"
"Can you tell me what's in that metal box?"
"I'm sorry," she smiled, "I can't tell you."
"Why?" I asked puzzledly: "Since you want me to choose, you must at least tell me what is inside so that I can make a choice."
Ophelia still smiled a little, and she repeated: "I am about to disappear, young adventurer who summoned me, can you tell me your choice?"
My eyes trembled slightly and the corners of my mouth twitched: "Please, if you do this, it will make things difficult for me. All you need is a little bit of information, okay?"
"I am about to disappear. Young adventurer who summoned me, can you tell me your choice?"
Her answer was still the same, which made my temples start to beat.
"Oh, you are so unapproachable. Can't you satisfy me with just such a small request?"
"I am about to disappear, the one who called me out."
Seeing her repeating what she said before, I felt helpless, sighed and said, "I can choose both, okay?"
This time, Ophelia did not repeat her words, but smiled and said: "No."
Although it was just an image, it seemed that it still listened to me.
"In that case." I wandered among the jewelry and metal boxes, still unable to make up my mind.
These are extraordinary times. I am in urgent need of money. Logically speaking, I should choose money, but I am also curious about what will be in the box. If I just give up like this, I may regret it for a long time.
Just like that, in the dilemma, I felt like my brain started to hurt.
"Oh, should I choose jewelry? Or should I choose a box?" I frowned and walked around, even ignoring the voice of the goblin leader coming from the call crystal.
"You look very bad now." Odachi suddenly said: "Do you still remember the deadline for you to pay back the debt? One month, one month! So what if you give up the jewelry in front of you? You still have more than twenty days to do it. Continue to dig deeper into the next tomb, or even a few more tombs, or don’t you think that you no longer have the ability to continue robbing tombs?”
Odachi's words instantly aroused my bloodshed: "You are kidding! How could I not be able to continue robbing tombs!"
"You are quite confident, brat." Odachi said with a smile: "If you are so confident, why can't you make a simple choice?"
"I'm just a little bit reluctant to give up. In fact, my answer has already been in my heart. I think you should already know my answer."
"I know it's useless," Odachi said, "Speak out, tell Ophelia your answer."
After looking at Ophelia's delicate smiling face, I said, "I choose, the metal box."
She nodded slightly, then waved her hand gently, and then it suddenly turned into a white light, and disappeared under the floor tiles.
At the same time, all the jewelry in the tomb made a cracking sound at the same time.
I knelt down, picked up a string of pearl necklaces, and flattened them in the palm of my hand. I saw that the large, plump pearls on the pearl necklace were breaking automatically, as if being hit by an invisible hammer. First, Fine lines were cracked, and then the lines continued to become more and larger, and then spread all over the whole pearl. Then with a 'pop' sound, the pearl shattered into a pool of pearl fragments. This is not over yet, the fragments continue to be covered with more With cracks and lines, and with a gradually decreasing sound of shattering, the pearl completely shattered into a pile of pearl powder, and then something even sparser and finer than the powder, and then disappeared without a trace like a burst of blue smoke.
After watching the whole process of the pearl necklace disappearing blankly, I raised my head and looked ahead. There was a metal box. On the edge of the metal box, there was a thick layer of gems piled up, and there were a few full of gems. A bulging bag filled with jewelry.
However, the bag was deflated and collapsed to the ground. The pile of jewelry stacked in front of the metal box, like the string of pearls in my hand just now, disappeared, leaving only the metal box still standing there. .
"Can jewelry disappear?" I murmured, "Is this magic?"
"Obviously, yes" Odachi said.
"This Ophelia, how proficient in magic must she be to be able to do this?"
"I think she should have placed magic on both the jewelry and the metal box in advance. As long as you choose one of them, the other will disappear." Odachi said: "If you choose jewelry, then the metal box will also be like the jewelry." Just disappear."
I said sadly: "Yes."
At this time, the voice of the goblin leader came from the call crystal. I picked up the crystal and said, "Grandma, the leader?"
"What happened just now?" asked the goblin leader: "Why don't you speak?"
"Queen Ophelia just disappeared because the magic to maintain her image was exhausted," I said. "Then I was so shocked that I couldn't even speak."
