*****In a forest in the southwest*****
In order to go to the House of Prediction mentioned by Liya, Zhang Youji and his group of five people are now searching for traces of it in the forest. They thought it was a difficult place to find, but unexpectedly, there was something about the House of Prediction on the way. There are many traces of the house and unexpected things. For example, although it has aged badly, it is still standing next to a tree. It is as if someone specially made it to let people go to that suspicious place.
[Master, there is a road sign again, this time it is a mark carved on a tree. 】
【···Hey, Curly Hair, it’s really better not to go, right? This place called the House of Precognition is super suspicious. 】
[Common citizen, you clearly promised to be my bodyguard, are you going to break the contract now? ! Also, it’s not curly hair! Call me Kimberly Lea! 】
[Your character image has changed again. Hey, I didn’t make a promise with you. I just agreed to go along with you. However, if the information on these road signs is true, judging from the current speed, it will be around 7 p.m. We can reach it. This time we are going that way. 】
【what the hell! Such an attitude! ······Hey, Fox Girl, answer the question I am going to ask, and you won’t tolerate a single lie! 】
When Zhang Youji ignored Liya's words and followed the mark on the tree that Belika found, Liya walked up to Belika with a trembling voice, as if trying to show off her strength. After asking the question, Bolika smiled helplessly after seeing Liya like this, and then started to answer her questions with an attitude like taking care of a child.
[Okay, please ask questions. 】
[Why would a strong man like you willingly be the servant of that rude common man? If it’s money, I can offer more money than him, or anything you want to hire you, do you want it?]
[Ms. Kimberly Leah, if you are trying to persuade me to betray my master, please stop right now. I am not a strong man, I am just an orc slave that can be seen everywhere. Also, the power of the attack just now is just relying on It’s just the weapon ability that Master gave me, so]
【slave? ! In this case, I can pay to buy you. If he doesn't sell, I will use the power of the nobles to force him to agree. Instead of going with that rude commoner, or...? ! 】
When Bolika planned to clearly refuse Liya's persuasion, Liya suddenly heard that Bolika was a slave, and she had an idea to buy Bolika from Zhang Youji. Just when she said that even if she used the power of the nobles to threaten Zhang Youji, When she was about to buy Berleka, the atmosphere here suddenly changed. Liya felt three waves of hostility, two of which almost made Liya suffocate, but this only happened in a moment.
[Lord Kimberly Leah, please remember that if one day you become the master’s enemy, we will not hesitate to attack you and all the enemies related to you who become the master’s enemies. 】
【——? ! You...you, do you know what you are talking about? ! Saying this to me means starting a war with the Royal Capital of Rosemona, right? ! What did that common man give you to make you follow him so wholeheartedly? ! 】
[Life is the life of me and my brother... Kimberly-sama, will you listen to the ugly cries for help from two worthless slaves who are seriously injured and about to die? Even if you heard this, would you use any means to try your best to save two orc slaves who are strangers to each other and are like garbage? 】
[Hey, what are you four talking about? I thought I heard something starting a war just now? Forget it, save the gossip for rest, let’s go quickly. 】
Bolika's words completely left Liya speechless. At this moment, Zhang Youji, who was walking in front, suddenly realized that he was walking too fast, so he started to walk back. On the way, he heard someone shouting about starting a war. And when he walked back to the place where the four Berlekas were, he found that the atmosphere here had become very stiff for some reason, so he decided not to ask what happened and let the four of them hurry up and try to get to the House of Prediction as soon as possible. .
Then as time passed, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the five people followed the road and came to the side of a creek. Because they had been on the road, Zhang Youji felt a little tired. When he was looking for a place to rest, he happened to see a creek in front of him, so he decided to rest near the creek for the time being.
During the rush, Liya didn't say a word, even when she was taking a break. Just when Zhang Youji felt a little strange, Liya asked Zhang Youji in a low voice with a depressed face.
[The woman in the cloak, the fox girl, and the woman in shameless clothes, the three of them are not ordinary people, right?... Who are you who are leading them? 】
[Just an ordinary summoner... Speaking of which, can't you see their general state? Two of them are my summoned beasts. 】
【Summoner? Summon a beast? ···What's the meaning? If I had the skills to see through and identify, then I wouldn’t have to ask you. 】
[Uh-huh, I'm sorry to disturb you. Summoning Lord, please come with me. 】
After Liya heard Zhang Youji's answer, she showed a puzzled expression and asked back. When Zhang Youji tilted his head and was about to say something, Deguna suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two of them and asked Zhang Youji pulled him behind a nearby big tree and told Zhang Youji something in a helpless voice.
[Summoner Master, only brave men and people from other worlds can check the opponent's general status without using discernment or identification skills. This is common sense in this world! Hasn't anyone told the summoner? 】
[···No, this is the first time I heard about this matter. No wonder there was no commotion because of the grade issue when we were in the town. 】
[Sigh, Summoner Lord, if our level is exposed, what will happen is not a commotion, but chaos, and it is the kind of chaos that may subvert the country, because in this world, as long as you reach level 70 or so, you will be affected. There are invitations from various countries and nobles, or threats to serve them, not to mention summoners who have reached level 265, so please be sure not to reveal your level. 】
【···Understood, in the future, let’s adopt the policy of not revealing the level as much as possible. 】
When Deguna finished speaking, Zhang Youji returned to Liya with her and continued to answer some of her questions. However, most of the questions were ignored by Deguna, and Liya got only A title for Zhang Youji [Blue Summoner of the Labyrinth]. When Liya knew Zhang Youji's title, she tried desperately to recall the names of the top summoners in the world, but no one matched this title.
Just when Liya was doubting whether the title that Deguna just told her was real, Zhang Youji said to her that the rest was over and she should continue on the road. In this way, Liya was more doubtful than before. , and Zhang Youji and the others set off towards the House of Foreknowledge.
Three hours later, that is, around 7:30 pm, the five people finally arrived at the House of Prophecy in the forest. However, when Zhang Youji and the other five saw the House of Prophecy, they found that the house, or It should be said that the mansion is basically an abandoned haunted house.
The fence around the house has rusted and collapsed, and some of the walls have been severely cracked. From the cracked walls, you can see that the house is filled with dust, and some places are even covered with plants. Someone must have lived here in the past. , However, let alone people now, there is not even a small animal nearby. Now that the sky has darkened, it gives people a very scary feeling.
When Liya saw this house, the house of prophecy she had worked so hard to find turned out to be like this. She immediately knelt on the ground and cried loudly. Zhang Youji had no choice but to go up and comfort her. As for Valkyrie and Degu Na winked at Belika. After seeing the performance of Valkyrie and Deguna, Belika immediately ran to Zhang Youji and Liya and began to be alert to something.
[Deguna, your words should be able to tell what is hidden around you. 】
[Well, that is very bad. This house is not a house of prophecy. It is clearly a house of devil. 】
[To be precise, it should be a dead end prepared by demons for people obsessed with ghosts... and we are already surrounded. 】
【Well? ! ···Really, there are so many of them, they have already exceeded 100! And judging from the auras they emit, I think the level is at least around 300. This is really not good. I would have told the summoner not to come here. Alas, it is too late to regret now. 】
[Indeed, I thought that even if there were demons, there wouldn't be more than 5 at most. Alas, I didn't want to worry the summoner, so I would deal with them quietly, but now it seems that I can't do anything without telling them. 】
[Well, although the opponent's numbers are large, because you and I are here, they don't dare to use their numbers to attack. If we only bring the Summoner Master to break through, it will be very simple, but we can't leave Belika and the eldest lady alone. No matter... Anyway, let's go find the summoner first. 】
After the conversation between Valkyrie and Deguna ended, the two walked to Zhang Youji and the other three and told them about the devil. After Liya, who had just stopped crying, heard the news, He burst into tears for the first time. As for Zhang Youji and Belika, when they started to discuss the solution with Valkyrie and Deguna, the Almighty Book suddenly spit out the remote transmitter.
[Wait, don’t activate it! Summon the Lord! One of the skills that demons are best at is space control. The space nearby has been mastered by them. If you use teleportation or the like now, you will be teleported in front of them and killed instantly! 】
[Deguna, you told me earlier! What about this transmitter? By the way, storage space should be fine, right? 】
[There is no problem with the summoning master and storage space, but your summoning spell will not work, because the demons will interfere with your summoning circle and invalidate it. 】
[Hmm, using summoning to increase manpower doesn’t seem to work. Then, apart from the two of you, the only ones that can become combat power are the Sword Spirits and the like that I carry with me now. Sword Spirits and Soul-Eating Souls How about 2 books each and 1 bow spirit? How about forcing a breakout? 】
[If the summoner refers to everyone breaking through without incident, then the chance of success is very small. Although I can use the King of Shadows to put the summoner, Belika, and the eldest lady into someone else's shadow, but in the shadow There is no air in it. Even if Valkyrie and I work together to break out, in this case, it will take at least 3 hours. After all, the demons surrounding us are a little too abnormal. 】
[So the summoner, I have a suggestion. Under the current situation, it is better to conduct a defensive battle centered on the haunted house in front of you. As long as you defend it until the morning of the second day, the demons will retreat, because they and Deguna They are all types that hate sunlight, and their abilities will be weakened during the day. For me, what is more difficult now is not their intensity, but their quantity. 】
After that, Valkyrie said the method he thought of. First, he entered the abandoned haunted house in front of him, found a relatively solid place in the house to release the enhanced magic, and then let Zhang Youji, Belika, and Liya go in. Deguna guarded the door, while Valkyrie walked out of the house, preparing to face more than 100 demons with levels above 300 alone.
And just in case, when Valkyrie walks out of the house, Deguna will use her royal skill [King of Night Shadow] to cover the entire ruins with shadow. This is to prevent the demons from using teleportation to invade the ruins. Because this time it is covered with shadows rather than absorbed by shadows, there is no need to worry about the air problem. In addition, it is night and Deguna is in the daytime, and her restricted vicious abilities will also be released. , so defense should not be a big problem.
Although Zhang Youji was a little worried when she heard that Valkyrie was going to fight alone, looking at Valkyrie's look, she knew that she was not bluffing and did not take the threat of the demons seriously at all. She was only worried about Zhang Because of his own safety, Zhang Youji agreed to this battle, but he immediately told Valkyrie that she must not be careless and asked her to pay attention to her safety.
In this way, after Valkyrie and Deguna confirmed that there were no traces of demons in the haunted house, Zhang Youji and the other five entered the ruins and began to find a place where they could release enhanced magic and be easier to defend, and began to prepare for the arrival. The demons attack.
By the way, Liya, who was still crying, was forcibly dragged in by Belika.
