Although the "contract" can control everything, doing so will also consume his mental power. Especially when the doomed person who is contracted wants to resist, the mental power consumption will be doubled. This is something Liao Ji has learned from before. It has been discovered in Irene's experiments.
Therefore, frequent use of contracts to forcibly restrict and control is okay for a short period of time, but once the time goes on, it will be too much for oneself. This is obviously not a long-term solution.
Therefore, Liao Ji felt that the best way was to make Yilin willing to help him subjectively.
But now it seems that this goal has been barely achieved.
"Miss Yilin, please go search those kobolds. You should be able to find a lot of special candles." Liao Ji politely requested.
After receiving the order, Yilin glanced at the dirty and smelly corpse still bleeding on the ground, and then looked at it again. After being exposed by herself, she stopped acting at all. She directly covered her nose with her hands and stood alone with a look of disgust. When the young man walked far away from the body, Yilin felt that all she needed to do was give him a white handkerchief.
Her brows twitched a few times, but Yilin still held it back.
Candles are the special props of kobold monsters. After a while, Yilin collected a lot of them and hugged them all in front of Liao Ji with a clatter.
"Then what, young master?" Yilin asked angrily. She had no idea what the point of collecting these broken candles was.
"Thank you, let's light them on fire."
"...click, click?"
"Yes, these kobold candles are made of special materials and are extremely flammable. The combined amount should be enough to burn the secret room and its contents. "Liao Ji analyzed and explained patiently.
But obviously, this is not what Irene is concerned about at all.
"What! Old antique! Are you going to burn this place down? There are also these precious relics!!"
After hearing what Liao Ji planned to do, Yilin immediately acted like a furious female cat and even changed her name to Liao Ji.
She picked up a glass container on the shelf that was covered with cobwebs and dust, but she could still taste the classical charm from its shape and texture.
"Do you know if this thing was put on the black market, how many people would be snatching it up?"
"And this, this, these!!" Yilin's fingers traced the porcelain, statues, murals accumulated in the secret room...
She stood in front of Liao Ji like a tigress protecting her calf.
"As long as we sell all these, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of ash coins. This is hundreds of thousands! You just...burn it??"
Facing the extremely stimulated girl, Liao Ji made a calming gesture to ask Yilin to calm down. He could understand Yilin's excitement, but.
"Miss Irene, the question is, have you ever thought that there are so many things in the secret room, maybe they are really as valuable as you say..."
"It's not possible, it's certain! This is the emperor's "legacy"! ! "Irene emphasized in a loud voice.
"Okay, they are very valuable and expensive, but the question is, how can Miss Irene cash them in? Oh, cashing them out means to exchange them for what you call... uh, ash coins?"
After Liao Ji's words, Yilin blurted out: "Didn't I tell you to sell it on the black market?"
"Well, but according to your previous description, the evil items in this era are very rare and are still contraband. So if you take out so many contraband items and sell them on the black market, no one else will be interested. You?"
"Taking a step back, even if you plan to sell slowly, don't forget that you are not the only one who robbed the tomb this time, or...Miss Yilin, if I guessed correctly, you are just a Are you responsible for reading maps and guiding others, right? And your employer is also a real thief... Forget it, let's call it an expedition team. They can get so many guns, and they are so determined to kill people and silence them, and even later If there is no big organization behind threatening your family, I don’t believe it.”
After Liao Ji's words, Yilin finally calmed down a bit. After a pause, she said with a disgusted tone:
"Their name is Cavale, they are the notorious gangsters in our black cave gathering place."
"That's it..."
"Miss Yilin, what do you think? A notorious gangster found that the members he sent out were destroyed in the cave, but the scavengers who led them came back alive by luck, and continued to sell them on the black market. One precious treasure after another has been produced, what would you do if it were you?"
Huge benefits can blind people. Liao Ji's words suddenly brought Yilin back to her senses, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.
Her expression quickly faded, and she became a little panicked.
"If Cavale and the others know that I am the only survivor... then even if I do nothing, they will definitely arrest me..." Erin muttered in a daze.
"Indeed, so there is only one optimal solution, which is to make Cavalle think that you also died together. This is why I have to burn this place down, so as to create a scene with no survivors, and wait for the gangster to send people again. When I come to investigate, I can completely get rid of you."
After hearing this, Yilin's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she soon looked at Liao Ji with approval.
"I didn't expect that you have been asleep for five hundred years, but you still have a bright mind."
"Thanks."
In fact, another big reason why Liao Ji burned this place down without any distress was because many things here would really become decayed antiques like the [Sword of the Great] in five hundred years. .
As for the good things that can really be preserved for five hundred years, in the sarcophagus, those five pieces... no, after excluding the piece used on Yilin, the remaining four pieces [Zhuo'e Crystal (Small)] It has been taken over by Liao Ji, so this former resource point secret room has no value to him. It is better to burn it and leave no trace.
On the other side, Yilin was just happy that she could get rid of the gang, but when she thought about it further, her expression suddenly changed again.
"Hiss... No, wait! Then, what about my mother! She is still seriously ill and is waiting for treatment in the clinic at the gathering place. I can't take her out of the gathering place with her in this condition. ,me..."
Before that, Yilin knew that dealing with gangsters was very risky, but she still took the job. The main reason was that her mother, who depended on her for life, urgently needed a large sum of money for medical treatment and life-saving treatment.
But now, not only did she not get the remuneration she deserved, but she was also in big trouble with the gang. She would never leave her mother alone, but if she wanted to take her mother with her, she would have to pay high medical bills, and The source of this money can only be inheritance, but once she sells the inheritance, it will lead to gang tracing...
Erin felt as if she was trapped in an endless loop.
At this time, another voice had to interrupt.
"Miss Erin, I have to remind you that although you can't take most of the things out of this secret room, at least... you can take out the most valuable thing, right?"
"The most valuable one?" Erin looked around in confusion.
Until Liao Ji pointed at himself.
"As long as your mother is still breathing, no matter how complicated the illness is, I can easily cure it. Regarding this, Miss Irene, you should also have a deep understanding of this."
Under Liao Ji's words, Yi Lin recalled the treatment he had given her just a few minutes ago. The girl's face immediately turned red and she was full of excitement.
"Yes, that's right! How could I forget Lao Gu...ahem, young master!"
But soon she showed some probing look again. Erin lowered her head slightly and asked cautiously: "Are you... okay?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Just, let's just say! Your ability is so powerful, it must consume a lot of money, right? Is it really okay to use such a precious ability on the mother of a scavenger?"
Yilin puffed up her cheeks and said with a bit of embarrassment, insisting on speaking so clearly.
have to say.
After the "Holy Healing Technique", the girl regained the youthful beauty that she should have had at this age, and the good appearance that was previously buried by the wind and frost of scavengers is now radiant.
Liao Ji couldn't imagine that he could see something "cute" in Yilin at this moment.
"First of all, you are no longer a scavenger. Secondly, I signed a contract with you and you became my doomed person. At least as long as the contract exists, you are mine. You work for me, and I naturally You must also be responsible for the people under you.”
"As for the last thing... don't worry, we were still a big shot five hundred years ago. Although our strength has weakened a lot now, we can still use the same kind of healing power four or five times a day with ease."
After receiving Liao Ji's personal promise, Yilin was completely relieved.
Of course, when the young man said something like "You are mine," the girl couldn't help but blush, and her heart broke.
But anyway.
Erin suddenly felt like there was someone "covering" her, which seemed... pretty good?
"Okay, Miss Erin, get to work quickly. I really don't want to stay in this damn place for a second longer."
Faced with the young man who was urging her but had no intention of helping her, Yilin obediently started working as a wage earner for the sake of him being able to treat her mother.
She crushed the kobold candles with force, extracted the flammable substances, and evenly distributed them throughout the secret room.
After doing all this, Yilin picked up Liao Ji, borrowed the previous kobold's shovel, and climbed out of the original cave.
In the past, she couldn't believe that she could climb a cave of more than ten meters, but now she can even hold a large living person with one hand.
This is the power that the Doombreaker brings.
Liao Ji arrived at the upper level smoothly and was put down by Yilin. He took the simple torch that the other party had taken the time to make. The sizzling flame reflected the young man's delicate face.
"So...is this the prologue?" Liao Ji whispered.
"What did you say?"
"It's okay, let's go."
Liao Ji gently threw the torch in his hand toward the hole below and turned around.
In the very next second, after the flammable wax oil with the characteristics of the kobold came into contact with the open flame, a roaring sound was heard and a raging fire quickly ignited in the secret room, and a scalding heat wave swept out from the entrance of the cave. The red light of the fire illuminated this cave.
Yi Lin, who followed Liao Ji and looked at the young man's handsome back, curled her lips.
Huh, she was busy in the whole process, but in the end she was about to start the fire, but she went into battle in person, without her, and she didn't even look back. How could she be so cool!
...
...
But, it seems really cool. She will try it next time!
