…
After returning to the hotel, the three of us were still in low spirits.
In the five years since I came to Darkness, I have seen a lot of joys and sorrows. Even human tragedies have been heard from time to time. The human bone soup in the cauldron of the Sinking Devil, the blood pool in the countess's bedroom, and the skull throne of Andariel, all of which are not stories to tell. Endless tragedy?
However, the necromancer Rhodes touched me, and I experienced the sadness more empathetically, not only because he was a job changer like me, but also because of his feelings for his wife and the sadness between them. , resonated with me.
People have such a kind of inertia. When they see tragedies happening to other things similar to themselves, they will empathize with the worries and panic, fearing that such a thing will happen around them.
However, this emotion came and went quickly. Two days later, the sad figures of Rod and his wife began to fade in my mind. After all, it was just a quick glance at that time. Or, I should be grateful. My own rough nerves?
The appointment with the dwarf prince Tualatin was today. I didn’t think much about this trip and left Linya and Feini behind.
Needless to say, Linya is only a level 22 wizard. I don't dare to take her around the demon fortress-level training area. I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. As for Feini, although she is barely qualified to accompany her due to her strength, I went together. At that time, Linya was left alone without anyone to protect her. Who knew when the fifth-level wizard from Tisi she knew would run out to practice? Not reliable at all.
Moreover, the abacus in my mind was ringing: don’t forget the trailing Demon Latin behind Feini. If Feini is left behind, it will be equivalent to having an additional fifth-level assassin to protect her. This is really a big deal. That's a good thing, wow~~
When I told the two of them the plan, Linya was not there. She also knew that her current strength was just a burden. Feini was not happy at that time...
"Cousin meow~~ Please, take me away, I really can't stand meow, that person comes to cover me every night, meow~~"
this time. The transvestite Fini seems to have made up her mind. No matter how much I push and knock. Even if the head is covered with bags. My eyes were filled with tears and I was whimpering in pain. He still held my thigh firmly. Don't say anything.
"Let go. If you don't let go..."
I think I should intimidate this transvestite a little bit verbally. So he looked like a ferocious Arhat. Eyes widened. glare.
"I will turn you into a woman from top to bottom."
This threat is scary enough. You must be trembling with fear. Haha~~
"Is...really okay?"
Lifting up that super cute round face, she looked at me blankly. Feini's black and shining eyes were full of hope.
"..."
I almost forgot that this guy is a transvestite. I'm afraid this is not a threat, but a temptation.
When the plan failed, I rolled my eyes and thought of another "poisonous plan".
"If you don't let go, I will kill your Ouna... Hehe, you should know what will happen."
Saying this, I made a push-down motion and showed a lustful and evil look. Even if I am a pig, I will not misunderstand what I want to express. You should be afraid of this.
After looking at my expression blankly, Feini lowered her head weakly and sighed softly like a resentful woman.
"If...if Oona is willing, then I will...as long as she still has me in her heart..."
What does it mean? What is the meaning of this kind of words coming from the mouth of a woman in the old society who is familiar with tameness and follows the three obediences and four virtues? ! Could it be that between you and Oona, you play the role of the wife and Oona plays the role of the husband? No matter how fake a girl you are, there should be a limit, you bastard! ! You are the most invincible and tragic emperor in the universe!
At this moment, I was rolling on the ground and hitting the wall with tears streaming down my face.
"Okay, you forced me to do this..."
After a while, I stood up from the ground with a bloody head and a bloody look on my face. I didn’t want to use such a dirty trick that would harm others and not benefit myself. However, this fake girl was invulnerable to water and fire, so I had no choice but to resort to this trick. .
I raised my head and took a deep breath. As if I had just made up my mind, goosebumps suddenly appeared all over my body. I crossed my arms and stared at Fini closely.
"Do you remember Hans?"
The two words "Hans" seemed to have infinite magic power. When she heard it at first, Feini's delicate and slender body trembled even more than when she heard Latin, and her face was full of expressions about wanting to cry. Shaking his head and covering his ears tightly.
Hans is a famous person in Kurast, a legendary figure worthy of being recorded in history. His character card is as follows.
Sex: Male
Race: human
Occupation: Barbarian
Nickname: Manly Man
Characteristics: Big, with all the advantages and disadvantages of a barbarian.
Distinctive features: He is extremely large, his skin shines with a brown oily luster like that of a nobleman, and his body is very hairy. It is said that if this person spreads his arms and runs, the arm hairs on his arms will dance in the wind. It is also said that an old hen once killed him. Mistaking the hair on his chest for a hen's nest, he laid an egg in it.
Personality: Likes to show off, especially proud of his elastic muscles and lush body hair.
Hobbies: Take off your clothes in public in bars and show off your muscles and body hair.
Self-created special move: Manly Hug, holding the enemy in his arms and suffocating him to death with his thick chest hair.
Rumor 1: It is said that his teammates couldn't stand his body hair and hobbies. On a certain day of a certain year, in a quiet night, in a deserted alley, someone behind the scenes knocked him unconscious and then covered his whole body. His body hair was plucked out by the roots. The next day, a rubbish-picking aunt found Hans, who was all smooth and hairless, in the rubbish dump.
For the next few days, Hans disappeared, and five days later, he appeared again in the bar. His body hair was even worse than before, and his teammates had no choice but to give up with a sigh.
Rumor 2: Countless dwarfs have died in the self-inflicted death penalty [Manly Embrace]. It is said that this man is like a monster in the primitive forest. The dwarfs are like meeting snakes and scorpions, and they would rather be pierced by thousands of arrows with long ears. , jumped into the river and drowned, rather than die in the hands of Hans. Teammates often sighed: It’s so rare to meet such a strange person!
Rumor 3: It is said that he has a crush on Feeney...
So, at this moment, Feini was faced with two choices. One was to continue to be entangled with Latin, and the other was to throw me to the manly Hans after returning to Kurast. She didn't have to think about it at all. Her mind was not dizzy and she immediately chose Let go obediently.
"Isn't this right?" I patted her hunched head gently, then patted her with my big hand as if I suddenly remembered something, and then looked at Feini, who was still moaning in grief, with evil eyes.
"To prevent you from escaping, come on, take this with you..."
With a crisp sound of jingling bells, I conjured something from my hand, laughed evilly, and stretched out my magic hand towards Feini...
Agree to meet
At the entrance of the temple, the three of us arrived late, Tualatin was already there)]
"Jingle Bell--"
"Human, you are late. I hate people who are not punctual." Tualatin looked at me dissatisfied.
"Sorry, something has delayed me." I took a deep breath and looked at the other person apologetically.
"Jingle Bell--"
"Forget it, I prepared this for you."
Seeing me panting as I rushed over, Tualatin's face improved a little.
"What is this? Can you open it and take a look?"
I took a small, delicate wooden box about a foot long from his hand and looked up and down curiously.
"Ding-ding-ding-" "No."
Just as I was about to reach out to the lid of the box, Tualatin's expression changed and he quickly stopped me.
"This box can only be opened after you have arrived at the destination and have indeed found no artifact. If you can't stand your curiosity and open it halfway, then the mission will be considered a failure. A person who can't even restrain his curiosity will Those who don’t come are not worthy of being called warriors.”
Seeing Tualatin's stern words, I could only shrug my shoulders, put down my hand that was about to move, and put the box into the inventory.
"Human, I heard the sound of a bell just now."
As the clear and melodious sound of "ding bells" sounded like wind chimes, Tualatin finally couldn't help his curiosity, probed his thick and short neck, and looked behind me curiously.
"Oh, you said this."
I smiled slyly and got out of the way, and the brand-new Feini was immediately displayed in front of him. It was said to be brand-new, but the essence was that she wore a cute green collar around her neck, with a yellow collar the size of a baby's fist hanging on it. Beautiful bell.
But just by adding this one thing, Feini's temperament becomes different. It should be said that it is the finishing touch or something. In short, she looks even more charming now.
"How is it? My masterpiece is worthy of everyone's attention."
I patted the dejected Fini on the shoulder and raised my head proudly. The maid uniform + collar and bell were indeed a perfect combination.
As soon as the words came out, all the people around the temple who looked at Fini with stunning eyes gave me a thumbs up, their eyes clearly saying "G
"A miracle, this is really a miracle."
Tualatin looked at Fini blankly, and suddenly took my hand.
"Human, did you invent this? I think you might as well learn the craft of a blacksmith. I guarantee you will become a master blacksmith in the future."
"Forget it, I don't seem to have the talent in this area." I pulled my hand back and sweated, and I realized how weak I was.
"Who said that? The first condition for judging whether a person has blacksmith talent is aesthetics. You are already quite good in this aspect. As for the blacksmith's skill, as long as you are willing to spend time and slowly ponder it, you will be able to master it one day."
As Tualatin spoke, his beard trembled with excitement.
You are measured by the standards of your dwarves. Humans are not born to be blacksmiths like you. I secretly rolled my eyes and finally dispelled the enthusiasm of this dwarf prince.
Watching Tualatin's disappointed figure leave, I turned back to look at Linya.
"Linya, can you stay here alone? How about I send you back to the camp first?"
"I don't want it. There's no progress in the mission at all. You'll be teased when you go back. I'll wait for you here, hiding in the hotel and not going anywhere. That way you can rest assured."
Linya wrinkled her nose playfully at me, showing her rare naughty and coquettish side.
"Okay, but you have to be careful with everything, you know?"
Resisting the urge to step forward and hug the pretty and lovely Linya into my arms, I gently touched her fair and straight nose, causing her face to reveal a slightly touching blush in front of the public.
"By the way, I have a few more things here, take them for protection."
I suddenly remembered that I still had a few pieces of equipment on hand that Linya could use. I patted my head and realized that most of the good low-level equipment had been given to Vilas and the others, but Linya couldn't use some of the high-level equipment. So all I had on hand was a necklace and a ring.
Naturally, the ring was robbed from a dead dog. It is a heaven-defying ring with absolute defensive functions. The necklace shining with golden light was the one that exploded from the elite doom caster during the hunting activity. It just happened to be Suitable for Linya.
Guardian of the Vortex
Required level: 20
Add 30 pairs of missile defense
+02 Mana gained after each enemy killed
+15 energy
+30 health
5Speed up spell casting speed
All resistances +7
This is a very good necklace, especially practical for mages. It not only increases the defense against long-range physical attacks that mages are more afraid of, but also greatly increases the energy and life that mages focus on. Although 5 speeds up the casting speed, it is not much. But if used well, it can also have good effects.
When Linya took the ring and necklace, glanced at them, her expression immediately became dull, then she raised her head, her lips moved slightly, and she was about to say something, but I pressed them gently with my index finger.
"Do you want me to worry? Baby Linya."
I put my mouth next to her ear, carefully pushed aside the dark green hair as soft as a ribbon, exhaled and said, looking at the smooth and lovely earlobe so close at hand, if it weren't for the wrong place, I would definitely bite it gently Go up, take it in your mouth and tease it.
"Um--"
My head was buzzing with the sound of "Baby", and Linya was completely blank except for showing a silly happy smile and nodding her head desperately.
"Come on, I'll put it on for you. You can't take it off easily without my permission."
I know Linya's character quite well. When I was in Rogge Camp, I gave her a small staff, but I had to use some tricks to get it. I was afraid that her stubborn temper would show up, so I had to continue to take advantage of her. When her head was dazed, she took back the necklace, put her hands around her neck, and put it on for her gently.
Um? Close your eyes, stand on tiptoes, and pout your lips. If you don't know what such an obvious action means, as a man, you might as well go into the palace.
Shy Linya is so proactive, I'm still scared.
The next moment, I gently kissed the pair of lips that were as moist and soft as thin wings, savoring Linya's unique taste.
"Brother Wu, according to the rules of our Edward family, I have accepted your necklace. I...I will be dependent on you for the rest of my life."
Linya, blushing with shame, lowered her head, resting her head gently on my chest, and said in a thin voice, if it weren't for my sharp ears, I wouldn't have been able to understand what she was saying and would have missed it.
"Don't worry, let alone Linya, even if there are ten of you, I can make you fat and white..." I teased and gently slapped her jade-like pretty face, which made Linya angry. dissatisfaction in my arms
One.
"I said, Meow~~, you should restrain yourself, this is the entrance of the temple, Meow~~" Feini's helpless voice came over.
With a "swish", Linya suddenly came out of my arms like a frightened little rabbit. With a red face, she left the words "Brother Wu, come on" and ran away without looking back.
"You know? Protect Linya from me. If she loses a hair, humph, I will throw you on Hans's bed once." I shook my fist at Feini and motioned for her to follow her quickly.
"Meow, I understand. I will never let Linya lose a hair. Please don't mention that name again, okay, meow~?"
Feini, who already suffered from name phobia, shrank suddenly when she heard Hans, and followed Linya's footsteps with muttering in her mouth.
Okay, now it’s time to get down to business. I stretched out, added the sweet taste of Linya that still lingered on my lips, and walked towards the teleportation station not far from the temple with satisfaction. This was also the right time. That's why I chose to meet at the gate of the temple. I'm a lazy person, so I save my energy when I can.
"Sorry, I have to go to the Plains of Despair." I think the mage responsible for activating the teleportation array said.
"Excuse me, what is your name?" "Druid Wu Fan."
"I'm sorry, sir, you must be new here. You haven't logged in to your Despair Plains teleportation station yet. According to the alliance's regulations, please walk there first and log in before you can teleport."
The mage spoke euphemistically in formulaic language.
Okay, I've known this rule for a long time, but as the saying goes, the devil is as high as the devil... ahem, it's true that the devil is as high as the devil. We are on a business trip now, so we have to enjoy preferential treatment.
"I'm sorry, I have a special reason. I am the alliance elder, Druid Wu Fan. I have something important to do under the order of Master Akara this time. The matter is urgent. You see..."
What are the most effective words these days? I have an identity! There's someone above me! I am here to complete the above task, and you cannot bear the responsibility for anything that goes wrong. Once these magic weapons are used, the red light for safekeeping must immediately turn into a green light.
The mage was shocked when he secretly showed me the elder certificate like a spy, and his tone became more respectful, but...
"It's really disrespectful, Mr. Elder. The notice has been sent from above. However, Mr. Jameela has just given instructions. If it is Elder Wu, no exception can be made..."
After a pause, the mage shrank, glanced at my face that instantly turned the color of pig liver, and continued.
"She said this was Master Akara's order..."
The meaning is very clear. This is the order of the great elder above. You, the elder, can only stand aside obediently. Unexpectedly, the trick I just used was retaliated by the mage.
What a misstep. Why should I be so stupid as to visit that profiteer Jameela? Hoho, old lady Akala, why don’t you just let me be lazy for a little while?
With an angry expression on my face, I left the teleportation station and walked straight to the gate of the fortress. After passing the steep stairs that were so dangerous that day, I finally arrived at the suburban prairie and looked far into the depths of the gray grassland.
***, even an ordinary adventurer would never reach the Plain of Despair in less than three or four days. If converted to a road idiot like me, the number would have to be multiplied by ten.
But I had expected this kind of thing. I took out a round pocket watch-like object from my arms and smiled proudly.
I asked Tualatin to make this. It is a good thing that has the function of a compass. With it, you no longer have to worry about getting lost here. The only pity is that this thing can only be used within the scope of the Demon Fortress. It can be used anywhere else. It’s not working anymore.
After fiddling with it for a while, I finally determined the direction and strode deeper into the grassland. However, even if I didn't get lost, the journey was still far away. If I had known earlier, I would have brought Xiaoxue or Xiaoer with me so that I could have a means of transportation. I hate it so much!
However, this is still a trivial matter for me. I looked around and saw that there was no one around. I took off the divine speech helmet on my head, put on a golden antler, and then with a flash of light all over my body, I saw a smaller and cute sika deer. He took my place and stood on the ground.
Deer spirit transformation!
Although there are no plants nearby and the green energy cannot gain much bonus, the deer spirit still has +40 agility and +110 movement speed.
As a result, a strange scene appeared on the suburban prairie. A lively and cheerful little sika deer was walking in a triumphant manner, jumping left and right. Occasionally, it encountered a few monsters, but was also left far behind. later.
From time to time, the blue mana potion light flashed on its body. As it moved deeper into the prairie, the sika deer couldn't get any prouder. It was chased by a large number of Balogs behind it. There were also a steady stream of cliff lurkers jumping to the left. The agile jumping movement is not much slower than that of a sika deer. The most terrifying thing is that not far ahead, there are dozens of monsters composed of doom casters and doom knights with red lights.
At this moment, an agile cliff lurker suddenly turned over and jumped onto the back of the sika deer. The sharp teeth and sharp mouth immediately started wreaking havoc on it.
Yadie~~! !
The deer spirit transformation is -21 strength and -30 defense. Being caught is also very painful...
Suddenly, someone who was not familiar with the deer spirit's fighting style fell to the ground like a deer that was thrown to the ground by a jackal, and rolled all over the ground. Balog arrived from behind and took a big mouthful. Zhang was defeated by more than a dozen hellfires, and the misfortune caster not far away also lingered over with a few "red threads" at the right time.
If you were an ordinary adventurer, you would probably be done with it.
"Roar--"
With a roar, the cliff stalkers who bore the brunt of the attack scattered, their bodies shattered in mid-air, and pieces of flesh and blood splashed out.
A blood-red super bear appeared out of thin air, its eyes flashed with an angry light like a hell demon, making all monsters tremble. It opened its mouth wide, and a black energy ball formed in its mouth...
Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell! !
The huge blood bear body moved forward, spitting out black lightning energy cannons from its mouth, blasting the surrounding monsters that had no time to escape into ashes. This scene looked like the alien monsters in Ultraman descended on the city, wreaking havoc on humans and destroying them. architecture.
Someone who became so angry that he finally went crazy...
…
Doing the math, it has been four days since we left the Demon Fortress.
In the evening, watching the gray sky gradually darken, I found an adventurer's hiding place and lit a bonfire.
After spending a few days in the suburban prairie, I finally had a certain understanding of the combat mode in this area.
First of all, the monsters here are very dense, and they form a large area when you arrive. The key to fighting here is to never use kite flow. Otherwise, before the previous group of monsters are killed, you may not be able to endure another group of nearby monsters.
Logically speaking, my deer spirit can transform at such a speed
I'm afraid that no matter how dense the monsters are, I'll still be far behind, but things are going so perfect. First of all, the elusive cliff lurkers are a big trouble. They might be hiding somewhere, and suddenly jump up on my deer's back, there. But my attack blind spot.
Then, there are the Doomcasters. These annoying things will suck up all my mana, making the deer spirit unable to maintain itself and knocked back to its original shape.
Based on the above reasons, I had no choice but to give up my original plan of running a straight line across the entire suburban prairie and walk honestly one step at a time.
Isn’t this? The monsters are denser and I have more experience. In addition to the fact that I couldn't kill them in the hunting activities a few days ago, I have now steadily risen to level 37 and killed more than ten elites. Although I am prepared, I still have the best blue equipment. I also bought a lot, which is better than nothing.
However, I always couldn't cheer up, and I was weak in fighting. If an ordinary adventurer were in this state, I would have died countless times.
I also know the reason for this situation, but there is no way to solve it.
It’s lonely to experience it alone!
In the past, the little ghost was always by my side. When she was no longer by my side, I realized how important her existence was to me. Her every frown and every smile had already left a deep impression on me. In my heart, as long as I recall that gentle body and faint fragrance, I will feel warm and lonely.
Staring blankly at the blood-red moon in the sky, I wondered, are they looking up at the bright moon with me at this moment? As long as I close my eyes, their thoughts transmitted from the soul contract will flow into my heart lightly, especially the little ghost who has the deepest affinity with my soul.
Her almost crazy longing for me surged into my heart like an endless tide, which made me frightened and distressed at the same time. Did I do something wrong? I knew that I was the only spiritual support for the little ghost, but I still had to be separated. Maybe it would have been better to keep her by my side from the beginning.
For the sake of a brief separation in the future, let such words go to hell.
Sighing deeply, I stroked a... well, a broken diamond that the little ghost gave me before leaving. It is said that seeing the diamond is equivalent to seeing her.
This feeling is really subtle, just like the cat at home gave me a box of cat food and made me think of her when I saw the cat food. Isn't there a better substitute? Wouldn't a bunch of hair be better?
Moreover, this little ghost is too stingy. After all, she has a lot of complete diamonds in her pocket. There is nothing wrong with giving me a complete diamond as a souvenir, right?
However, I am not such a narrow-minded man. You see, we were silently praying for her in front of the moon just now.
Moon, if you can convey my thoughts, please tell that little ghost...
Always remember to wear underwear! !
Little Vilas, you must distinguish the main job from the deputy job, and don't hit the monster with a pan.
My baby angel Sarah, you look great in a ponytail. I really want to take a look at it now, woo woo~~
Princess Sanwu, um... well, remember to watch the road, don’t get confused and fall again, and help me keep an eye on those perverted adventurers. If they dare to touch my babies, let Xiaoxue kill them. Cut off the **! !
After praying wildly in my heart for a while, I curled up into the quilt. The best way to fight against loneliness is to sleep, huh~~
After a few more days, the Plain of Despair was finally in sight.
In front of me, a huge canyon spans between the suburban prairie and the plain of despair. The two sides of the canyon are like two different worlds. If the sky in the suburban prairie is gray, occasionally I can see a trace of preciousness. sunshine.
Then, the Plain of Despair, just like its name, even the dark wind blowing over it carries the breath of despair.
In my eyes, the plain on the other side of the canyon has no breath of life. The earth and sky are all filled with a dark color of despair. The faint sound of despair comes from the opposite side in the miserable cool wind, as if from the edge of hell. The screams of the dead came from the Santu River.
There is only a natural stone step that connects the Plains of Despair and the suburban prairie. Walking on it, you feel as if you could be blown down into the canyon by the hurricane blowing from the Plains of Despair at any time.
From the deep depths below the canyon, intermittent cries continued to be heard, which seemed to remind people of the thick layer of bones accumulated below, and those souls were crying eternally in the dark hell.
After finally walking through this natural danger, before I could breathe a sigh of relief, more than a dozen black and red figures rushed towards me.
Hehe, the doom caster's death squad is here.
I rushed forward to try to prevent them from absorbing as much mana as possible.
After quickly dealing with this group of doom casters, I began to carefully wander around the edge of the plain, which is known as the intersection between reality and hell. I remember that when I was in the bar, Oscar once said that in the Plain of Despair, you should never give charity. I can't have any sympathy at all.
He didn't tell me why, but drank the ale with an indifferent expression, saying that only by experiencing it personally would you know.
At first, I didn't understand what he said and thought it was a bit strange. Was he telling me not to be soft? If you say this, you are looking down on us. After all, we have five years of experience. How can we still feel compassion for monsters?
At that time, a naked human body with all its skin peeled off crawled in front of me in pain, then suddenly showed its ferocious face, hugged me tightly, and then bit me crazily. Only then did I truly understand what Oscar said.
The monsters living in the Plains of Despair, except for the fat beasts, which are delicious and will eat the captured humans in one bite, the remaining monsters are mostly cruel by nature and enjoy torturing the body and soul. After they capture humans, they will be sent to hell. The various punishments passed down were used to torture and entertain people, allowing people to truly experience what life is worse than death.
And these bodies and souls who had to die a good death, after endless torture by demons, their hearts became twisted with hatred. Affected by the power of hell, they gained a certain amount of power and sneaked up on the adventurers who came and went. Their twisted hearts made them They also long for these living beings to be treated the same as them.
In other words, these people have human appearances and human minds, but their souls have become no different from demons.
When you feel pity in your heart and try to free the corpses that have chains running through their bodies, tied to pillars or bonfires, and are begging for mercy, you will often be attacked wildly by these corpses and the souls on them.
So the compassion Oscar made me throw away was not for monsters, but for the same kind of people...
This is hell on earth! !
