Chapter 126 The King's Troubles

When Lily woke up, it was like a magic trick, and she untied the ropes that bound her in just a moment.

This was the realm of her mysterious skill "Thread Control".

Because [Binding] is also one of the many secrets of spider silk. For Lily, the lines and ropes are controllable and reliable like extensions of her limbs, and will not interfere with her.

This body is much stronger than her own, so her heartbeat has become much stronger.

In the pure darkness, she quietly entered stealth. Lily stood in the corner of the room and closed one eye slightly.

While she was distracted by the task requirements that appeared in front of her, she used the other closed eye to perceive the surrounding environment.

——In her perception, the world around her turned black and white.

Every time Lily's heart beat, a clear white outline appeared in the dark world she perceived, and then they gradually faded and became clearer after the next heartbeat.

But not far from her, there were two human-shaped outlines that faded much slower.

In Lily's [Spider Thread Perception] vision, the position of their hearts seemed to burst out a lot of silk threads. The weak vibration of the heartbeat was reflected on the ground, forming a spider-web-like network. In just a few breaths, the outline of the human figure was very clear.

After they woke up and realized their situation, their heartbeats suddenly became much faster. The most intuitive feeling was that the spider webs mapped rhythmically on the ground became larger and faster.

"Is there anyone?"

One of them couldn't help but shout: "Save me!"

The heartbeat of the other person suddenly slowed down.

A faint amber light flashed on his body, and the ropes that bound him were partially petrified and lost their elasticity. He struggled to break free from the ropes and shouted: "I'll help you right away-who are you?"

"I'm the king... who are you?"

"I'm Deer Horn."

The man who used petrification to untie his ropes replied: "There should be another person in the room... Can you tell us your name?"

Lily coughed lightly to indicate that she heard it.

"It turns out to be the gentleman who adapted to the path."

Lu Jiao reacted immediately.

This is not good. Lu Jiao thought after reading the requirements of this ritual task.

None of the allies he had recruited before appeared beside him. Instead, this taciturn adapter and the botanist who had little combat power appeared with him.

The profession of botanist is not quite the same as the traditional alchemist.

Although the alchemist is not good at fighting, at least he can provide various mixtures... But the abilities of the botanist are to promote, demonize and control various plants. High-level botanists can also awaken huge ancient trees and turn them into powerful tree people.

If it is in a forest environment, the combat power of the "king" will be very strong. But in this closed environment, the botanist is basically useless.

And they appear in the same place, which is basically a temporary teammate relationship.

The most important thing is... since the king appears here, it means that the most powerful "Aleister" will appear somewhere else.

Although the demons parasitized by the shadow demons certainly have a fighting power not equal to that of the shadow demons... but even if they only get one tenth of the power from the shadow demons, they are still unmatched by others in this ritual.

——This is really bad.

Obtaining the Holy Lance will be locked by others, and it is even more difficult for him, a low-level transcendent in the Twilight Path, to kill the victory.

Deer Horns judged that after seeing this task requirement, Aleister should choose to kill the victory. This means that he can get a large number of corpses-there is no conflict between them.

His tasks in this ritual are not difficult to do, including "Put the corpse into the magic cauldron to revive", each corpse has 800 points. And if he can revive himself and survive until the end of the ritual, he can get 1500 points.

In addition, he also has the "closing the door" task... Use petrification to petrify the keyholes of some doors, and each door can get 500 points. At this height, he can petrify but cannot remove the petrification, which means that every time the door is closed, the activity space of all ritualists will be compressed.

But this may not be a means of killing - after making a sound to attract the giants, they can be sealed outside by the trap door. The sealed door can also be used as a trap.

If he has the opportunity to touch the Holy Lance, he can also petrify the Holy Lance to seal the power of the Holy Lance. The person holding the Holy Lance cannot use the power of the Holy Lance to fight against the giants... In this way, he can get 1,000 points. If the person holding the Holy Lance dies as a result, he can get another 500 points.

With this calculation, he has a guaranteed score of 5,000 points. It is very easy to win by points.

Now Lu Jiao is already a senior extraordinary person.

He knows one thing very well: the task itself is a hint.

- Considering this task, the resurrection of the demon cauldron should only be resurrected once. And anyone can use it, not just the giants. The fact that the task of escaping the house gives so many points means that it must be very difficult and extremely troublesome.

Considering the one-hour time limit, perhaps there is not enough time. If his temporary teammates are more reliable, he can think about it a little, but now all he can do is to restrict others and prevent them from escaping.

And this is also very simple.

He just needs to find and seal the gate - to ensure that others cannot escape, so that they will not get these two thousand points and surpass him.

In order to achieve this condition...

The king gradually understood when he saw that Lu Jiao had not untied his rope for a long time.

After a brief thought, he suddenly spoke and broke the deadlock: "Then you can kill me."

The king's words made the other two look at him.

Lu Jiao asked with concern: "Is it okay?"

Hypocritical. Lily on the side sneered.

The king was very open-minded: "To be honest, I didn't plan to be promoted.

"If it happened to be a ritual site in a forest environment, I might still give it a try. But in this environment, I think it's better to give up directly. This ceremony is a new moon ceremony, and I can't be promoted without sufficient strength.

"It just so happens that you are my big customer - so I want to give you my chance."

- He said this sincerely. Lu Jiao's rich experience immediately determined the king's true attitude.

When someone voluntarily withdrew, Lu Jiao was relieved. In this way, the deadlock can be broken.

Instead, Lujiao squatted down, groped forward, and then removed the rope from the king. So that he could sit up in a more comfortable position.

Then, Lujiao asked, "If you don't plan to be promoted, why do you want to participate in the promotion ceremony?"

"I'm here to sell goods. Business is not very good recently."

The king sat up and said very calmly, "Anyway, the promotion ceremony at this stage will not kill anyone. At most, they will be weak for half a month. And the people who will participate in the ceremony are all extraordinary people near me, and they are only at the first energy level... I didn't expect that the two recent times would be dragged to Avalon.

"I can only say that Xingti has been too chaotic recently, and it can't even gather a group of promoted people."

"What's wrong with Xingti recently?" Lujiao asked with concern.

"The Rosicrucian Society and the Royal Alchemy Association have been fighting. The necromancers did not mediate this time, but watched the excitement from the side. As a result, the matter became more and more serious. Two months ago, a very famous alchemist was cursed to death. Now the demonologists are being attacked crazily by the newspapers, but there is no movement from the Rosicrucian side. ”

The king sighed and complained: "I don't know why, but the price of finished alchemical mixtures has increased significantly recently, while the price of raw materials has decreased. It feels like a war may be coming. This is why I came to sell goods in the promotion ceremony.

"Several alchemy workshops that bought materials from me before kept asking me for discounts, otherwise they would refuse to buy from me. How could I indulge them - my materials are not the kind of inferior materials mixed with water, and each tube of essential oil is sufficient!

"...But they seem to have made an agreement. As a result, all workshops will not buy from me, and they will lower the price to 70% of the purchase price - I'm telling the truth, Mr. Deer Horn. The 30% discount I gave you is the wholesale price I gave them before. He is asking me for 30% of the 30% discount, so I really can't make any money. I don't want to be a coolie for those alchemists. ”

The king shook his head: "If I could be promoted to the third energy level a few years earlier, it might be better. Botanists at the third energy level can also perform alchemy, and I can sell the finished products myself. But I was busy making money in the past few years... incense, essential oils, perfumes, seeds, and I made money for several years.

"Forget it now. I'm old, and I have a wife and daughter to support... I don't have the energy to study alchemy again. It's better to go to the promotion ceremony to sell some goods."

Here, he took the hand of the deer horn and said earnestly: "I will give you this promotion opportunity. The number of kills is good, and you can use my body at will... You must remember our order!"

"Don't worry."

Deer horn nodded, revealing a majestic temperament: "I am also a big shot in Avalon, and I will not default on my debt. When I go back, I will immediately send the deposit to your address - the deposit is half, you can make it after receiving the payment, and then wholesale it in two batches. This way you will definitely not suffer a loss... How about it?"

"You are such a good person!"

The king thanked.
