"I'm here, I'm here, gems, gems, gems..."
Hearing this noisy voice, Gu Mo couldn't help but twitch his lips. He looked back and saw the rippling water at the entrance of the valley. From a distance, he could see Ishtar walking in arrogantly. , followed by a few civilians who looked confused and confused.
If you really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here...
With a gentle breath, Gu Mo said: "Okay, okay, Master Ishtar, please stop yelling and bring people here..."
"What do you mean by shouting... Hey! Don't stay there, come here quickly."
Ishtar urged happily, while the few people with dazed expressions looked at each other, looking at this small valley with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the fragrance of birds and flowers. They were still hesitant, but after all, they did not dare to delay for too long. They had to bite the bullet and go slow. He walked over slowly and carefully.
Firstly, I still believe in the goddess Ishtar...
Secondly, Gu Mo, who was opposite him, was wearing a blue Taoist robe, and his breath was as fresh and dense as a mountain mist, which made them subconsciously feel close and relaxed, and they felt that it was not some evil spirit.
Just like this, they slowly approached the front of the bonsai box garden. They were still somewhat trembling. They lowered their heads subconsciously and stared at their toes. At the same time, they pricked up their ears to see what kind of arrangement they and others would get, or what kind of arrangement they would get. What kind of treatment was received.
Although it gives people a good impression...
But those who can chat and laugh with the goddess cannot be mortals, and they still have some idea about this.
After all, they are big shots who can decide the fate of themselves and others. Facing such big shots, they are naturally a little shy. After all, they are all ordinary people, and they just escaped death not long ago, and they are still a little bit scared now. Lost in spirit.
"Come forward and take a look here..."
There was a faint voice, but it was the young man wearing strange clothes who spoke.
Although they didn't know why, they all subconsciously turned their heads and looked in the direction the other person pointed, looking at the bonsai box garden in front of them. However, before they could see clearly, they heard a faint voice again, letting them Come closer and take a closer look.
With a chill in their hearts, they didn't dare to neglect, and quickly took a few steps forward subconsciously.
Although the tone of the other party did not change, people living in this era know very well how dangerous it is to let big people repeat what they have already said. It is best not to bet on the patience of big people who can control their own destiny. This is their Instinct engraved in the body...
They leaned in front of the small garden and stared at the landscape inside with wide eyes. After seeing the scene in the small garden clearly, they were all stunned for a moment, unable to help but have some reverie, and could no longer take their eyes away...
Then, maybe it was just a trance in their thinking, they heard the whistling wind in their ears, and the clouds and mist quickly parted in front of their eyes...
The terrifying feeling of weightless falling instantly brought an extremely huge impact, causing their pupils to shrink to the limit and screams coming from their mouths.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!!"
…………
"Well, no matter how many times I've seen it, I still find it interesting... Is this your Noble Phantasm? It's really an interesting magic."
Ishtar clasped her hands behind her back, bent down, and looked at the scene among the bonsai with interest. She saw residents the size of ants busily going back and forth among them. Some were working in the fields, and some were walking on the road. As they moved around, the people who had just fallen were surrounded by others, who seemed to be explaining something.
Although she has seen it many times, the goddess still finds this scene very interesting.
"You can think so, well, this is your reward..." Gu Mo said noncommittally, and at the same time, he reached out and took out a handful of gems from the wide sleeve on the other side. There was a little pure brilliance between his fingers, and the next moment it was snatched away by the goddess.
His hand speed was almost like an afterimage, as if he was about to open his fingers, and in less than a second, he quickly took away all the gems.
What a terrible obsession...
Doesn’t this woman have any consciousness and reserve that belongs to the gods?
Gu Mo twitched his lips, but he had seen this kind of situation too many times, so he felt that it was somewhat commonplace.
"hey-hey……"
Ishtar's eyes suddenly shone with light, and she gave out a silly smile that was not like a goddess at all. She held her beloved gem in both hands and almost rubbed it on her face. The smile on her face fully proved that she loved gems from the bottom of her heart, so when she got the precious gem, the satisfaction and happiness she felt were indescribable.
Well, after all, she is a goddess who has a habit of bringing shiny things back to her nest...
Gu Mo blinked and thought.
But it is precisely because of this that he was able to win her down so easily... After all, as a useless goddess who particularly loves gems but has no connection with the Golden Rule, this is her flaw. She deeply loves gems but has no connection with them, so far she has relied on humans and gods to offer them to her.
But now this world is on the verge of collapse——
The gods have long since left, and mankind is in dire straits. Who can continue to pay tribute to this goddess?
In their original destiny, the Chaldeans passed through Gilgamesh's treasury and took out a large number of gems for direct bribery, successfully bidding for the goddess and winning her over. Go to your own camp over there...
And Gu Mo, who remembered this important information, would naturally not give up such a useful method.
After all, he has experienced multiple dungeons and can be called a veteran player instead of a newbie. However, some good traditions are still passed down well, that is, relying on one's own intelligence advantage to start the game. Hug someone or find someone to work with... ahem, he means mutual benefit and win-win cooperation.
Because it is really easy to use and has proven successful over time, it naturally gradually evolved into his habitual starting move.
This time is no exception.
So after he figured out what kind of world this dungeon was, he quickly found the temple of Ishtar, paid a very direct visit, and informed him of his sincerity. With the persuasion strategy of presenting facts and reasoning, he successfully hired the goddess The price is kept to the lowest.
Probably because he knew that he had no other way to obtain gems as tribute, Ishtar was unwilling to let the gems in his eyes slip away, so he could only agree in annoyance... It was probably also because in a certain sense On the other hand, what the other party asked for was exactly what she wanted.
The archetype of the goddess is compassionate and cruel, but that's an archetype.
Now, because the human personality of the possessed object is biased toward good, her cruelty is contained deep down, and only the good part is expressed outside.
Now she is Ishtar, but not completely Ishtar, so she cannot give up on human beings in this era. She still cannot let go when she sees people in trouble... It is rare that someone is willing to use gems in exchange for her rescue of human beings. , it is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, so there is no reason to refuse.
And this busy period lasted close to three months...
After shaking his head and gathering the thoughts in his mind, Gu Mo asked carefully, "Lord Ishtar, this should be the last batch, right?"
"What last batch..."
Immediately coming back from her intoxication with gems, the black-haired girl looked at him warily, her tone becoming a little dissatisfied——
"According to our agreement, you will give me gems corresponding to the number of survivors I bring... There is no time limit for this deal. Are you ready to go back on your word?"
She was determined to take out all the gems from this man.
You know clearly that the other person still has your beloved gems, but you can only look at them but not eat them, or even watch them miss. Even a goddess will feel guilty, okay?
"I know, I mean there aren't many survivors living outside, right? It took you several days to bring back so many people this time. You probably can't find anyone else..." Gu Mo explained that although the life capacity of the Bonsai Cave has begun to approach the upper limit, it seems that these are the survivors scattered outside.
"Well, don't worry about it, I will find a way anyway..."
Ishtar also frowned in confusion, but she soon relaxed again. She didn't know what method she thought of. She smiled confidently and said this confidently.
"Okay, I'm going to solve this problem now. Just prepare the gems and wait... Hum, such a good method, why didn't you think of it before?"
"Wait a minute, just to be on the safe side, let me ask this first, what good method have you thought of?" Gu Mo's eyes twitched.
However, the goddess was obviously very happy for her flash of inspiration, and she was eager to try because she had discovered a huge market. She seemed excited and excited, and she did not answer his question at all.
"Anyway, I'm excited! I'm going to level up!"
She left as soon as she said it, acted resolutely, and without saying such a word, in a flash of light, the goddess directly climbed onto the huge bow that appeared at an unknown time, which was her god's boat. In the same flash of light, he started instantly and accelerated to the limit.
"Hey, wait! Don't kidnap money..."
Gu Mo felt that something he was worried about might be happening, but by the time he spoke out to stop it, it was already too late. The boat of God, which was like a flying bow, was accelerating like a rocket and was gone in an instant.
Only a small black spot was left on the horizon. Even after hearing his words, the goddess had no intention of looking back.
"..."
"..."
"Forget it, it won't cause any big problems anyway..."
Gu Mo rubbed his eyebrows with a slight headache, but he quickly stopped paying attention to this matter. After all, Ishtar is the patron saint of Uruk, and the current servant form does not have a real god. Strength, but also lacks the cruelty and coldness of the prototype.
Now it seems that they are angry and arguing, and they are always against the people of Uruk. They go there and bomb them no matter what, and they shoot whatever they see with their bows...
In fact, the thunder is loud but the rain is small, and we still care about the people of Uruk.
Presumably, there won't be any big commotion. It's probably just like it was before, just rushing in to make a fuss and then being kicked out in disgrace.
Pulling open his wide sleeves, Gu Mo took stock of his remaining treasures. The blue Taoist robe was actually a transformation of the ancient cane. His current persona was that of an immortal, so he naturally had to dress up properly, from the green Taoist robe on his body to the one behind him. The long and unrestrained hair is not just an illusion used to deceive ordinary people.
Accompanied by repeated breakthroughs and transformations in the spiritual realm, multiple transformations and baptisms of extraordinary power, and the possession of the Nine-Tails that is almost always in a state of dependence...
His temperament and aura have a sense of detachment and distortion, and it seems okay to pretend to be an immortal.
As one of the magic weapons of the old immortal, the blue robe transformed from the ancient rattan staff does not actually have the function of storage, but it has the strange power of transformation and illusion. Just like Ergouzi was reduced to a small size and was caught in the hand of the Taoguo Man. kind of scene, so naturally it can also achieve the storage effect in disguise.
The principle is to shrink the items and take them out when they are needed...
And cancel the magic change and return to its original size...
After appraising the remaining gem reserves, Gu Mo felt a little more confident. He took another look at the bonsai, and then walked towards the house over there.
…………
…
There are only two wooden houses in the corner over there. In front of the wooden houses is a small medicine shop planted with medicinal plants and irrigated by streams. In addition, there is only a pavilion in this small valley, which barely makes the scenery look too big. Go through desolation, and then there will be nothing.
However, the beautiful mountains and clear waters, the pavilion and the wooden house, have a different scenery, especially since the temple of a certain money-greedy goddess is right next door, and it also looks so tacky. In comparison, the style and intention seem to be even more lofty... With this thought in mind , Gu Mo didn't do anything else.
Naturally, there were two people in the room, Kikyo and Shiri. They seemed to be giving a lecture. The miko was sitting dignifiedly, and the demon hunter girl below was also sitting on the ground in the same manner, with her buttocks on her ankles, her upper body straight, and her hands. Place it on your knees in a regular manner, with your body upright and your eyes not squinting.
For her now, this is quite impressive.
Seeing Gu Mo come in, the witch turned her eyes away and asked softly: "The goddess Ishtar... left?"
"Well, Feng Feng Huo Huo left..." Gu Mo nodded and looked at the other demon hunter girl.
Ciri is now seriously studying with the witch, and is very dedicated. During this period, she has devoted herself to this aspect. Maybe she was not so active when she was training in Kaer Morhen during her childhood.
——Maybe he was really shocked.
From the time when the Wild Hunt was wiped out in the blink of an eye, to the first contact battle at this time, she felt that she had exhausted all means, and combined with the high mobility given by the powerful teleportation, she could barely deal with two or three powerful ones at the same time. Warcraft, in front of these two people, is just a piece of fish that does not need to be understood.
The last thing is the knife that Gu Mo struck three months ago...
The magic sword was born purely for destruction. The meaning of its existence is to kill the living and turn everything into ashes. Its secret meaning is naturally unimaginably terrifying. In addition, as the magic sword symbolizes the underworld, in this world of the age of gods, underground and even It is directly the environment of the underworld, and it is invisibly strengthened.
But the shock it brought to Xili naturally went up a few levels...
In the end, the demon hunter girl also learned the hard way and deeply understood the true meaning of the hard truth of having a big fist. Compared with her painful experience of being chased by wild hunters over the years, the girl hesitantly and embarrassedly put forward her wish. Follow the idea of learning…
There was nothing wrong with this, and besides, he had originally wanted to trick Xili into working for him, so Gu Mo naturally agreed.
It's just that even if he doesn't hide his secrets, the witch will teach him with all his heart, but after all, the system is different, and Ciri only has talent and no system, so the progress can only be said to be relatively ideal... At least there is no way to reach the level among the Warcraft group in a short time. Zhongda can kill all directions, one ride can equal a thousand.
After all, Ciri is just a standard demon hunter...
After all, demon hunters are not that fantasy. With sufficient preparation, they can indeed defeat some troublesome monsters single-handedly, but they are also human beings who will be stabbed to death by villagers with pitchforks...
"I just paid attention. The goddess Ishtar... shouldn't do anything excessive, right?"
Kikyo frowned slightly. She had just heard the conversation outside, so naturally she was a little concerned. After all, she had dealt with her many times in the past three months, and she was somewhat familiar with it. How uncomfortable that goddess was. Of course she also knows about such things as reliability.
"Probably not. At most, they will go to the fortress city to kidnap. But it's not a big problem. They will probably be kicked out..."
Gu Mo shook his head calmly, disapproving of this.
"No matter how you say it, it is a god after all..." Xili interjected. She thought it was better to be more cautious.
"To be precise, it is a spirit branch of God, summoned in the form of a servant. The spirit base can only be regarded as the scale of a heroic spirit, and does not have the power of a god..." Gu Mo didn't care, the existence of the gods was too large. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to be summoned at all, and only degraded ones appear in the form of servants.
It's like an incarnation is descended to walk in the world, and it is an incarnation that has been degraded a lot, so that its power can be contained by a container in the form of a follower.
But it is precisely because of this that he has more confidence to pretend to be an immortal——
The possession of the guardian spirit makes his existence similar to that of a pseudo-server, and Ishtar thinks so too...
And the power it possesses is far from reaching the standard of an immortal, and it will not be doubted. After all, it is normal to appear in the form of a servant and not have a huge scale of existence without the main body. Everyone is in the same category...
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Speaking of which, Kikyo..." Changing the topic casually, Gu Mo wanted to say something, but stopped and glanced at Xiri.
"..."
"..."
"Well...it's time to cook now. Let me prepare it today." Realizing it quickly, Shirley quickly stood up, made an excuse and walked out. The two of them seemed to be going to say something more important. As for the topic, it seems that I am not suitable to stay, so naturally I have to find a reason to leave space for them.
But she was also a little curious. They usually never avoided her when talking about anything. It seemed that the thing they wanted to talk about today was more important?
The miko raised her eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything.
When the witcher girl left the house and the footsteps faded away, the house fell into silence.
Gu Mo waited patiently for a while, then held out a hand. There was a small bottle lying in the open palm. He blinked at the witch: "Jiejie, you should have finished thinking about it now... We are here." Just start?”
"...Can't I just decide not to accept it?" The witch frowned slightly. "This thing is too precious. I...I really can't have it."
"This is prepared for you... With this, you can change your current body." Gu Mo said with some distress. He had been trying to persuade the witch to accept this bottle of elixir of immortality, but until now, the witch could not I still think it is too precious and not very convincing.
"Are you disgusted?" Kikyo asked calmly.
"Absolutely not, but we have a better choice." Gu Mo shook his head decisively and said in a very firm tone, "And your current body is too fragile and needs to be filled with dead souls before you can move. If you can't get the dead souls to supplement you, , and you are unwilling to use the power of the Four Souls Jade, then this bottle of immortal elixir is the only option, right?"
Biting her lower lip gently, the miko looked away and stopped looking at him: "Then we can also consider Ms. Suuji. I can change back to that body..."
"How can Zuo Ji be used? Without that body, she is just an earth-bound spirit..." Gu Mo sighed, hesitated, and decided to take some strong medicine, "But if you insist, you can consider it, but then I’ve already seen all the physical bodies, so I don’t think Kikyo-you would mind…”
murderous look!
The witch's cold eyes stopped him from saying anything else.
"..."
"..."
"Ahem, in short, I still hope you make a decision as soon as possible. This world is really dangerous. The source of the singularity of collapse is the god who created the world. He doesn't need to do anything deliberately. He can just exist simply. Let this world die. If you really want to do something, please consider my proposal..."
Gu Mo coughed lightly, pretending that nothing happened just now, and said very seriously.
"And in that case, it might also help me become an immortal. I know there is such an example..."
He was naturally talking about the King of the Lostbelt who would appear after this copy, the unique and absolutely real emperor, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng.
The method of ascending to heaven obtained by analyzing the fuso tree was verified through the data collected from the "fairy" Akuzuko, and finally the immortal body was cultivated through the crystallization of electronic magic that had evolved to the limit. That figure is The so-called ultimate of human existence, the only real person who overcomes death, transcends yin and yang, and reaches the immortal truth.
With such an example to refer to, Gu Mo thought he might be able to imitate it. Although he couldn't find Akuko, after Kikyo became a goddess, she could be seen as an example similar to the elf's true form in the current world.
At least……
The immortal body that I will soon achieve cannot be as fragile as the old immortal, right?
