"you....!"
The poisonous snake in the flesh container widened its eyes, and bubbles surged crazily in the dark green liquid soaking around it.
He never expected that the dead crow, who had always had no desires and only worked for the treasure thief group, would suddenly make such a drastic move.
"The funeral of Countess Thistle!"
"It was that time, do you still remember it?"
Viper said anxiously.
I'm afraid that if I go any slower, the dead crow will crush my brain.
Really? Crushing my brain.
"I have never betrayed the treasure thief group or joined other forces. It was just that time, in the morgue of the funeral, a guy from the Kingdom of Winter came to me!"
There was a look of memory in the viper's eyes.
This really happened many years ago. At that time, he was not the leader of the Snake Tribe, and alchemy technology had not yet been born.
Given Viper's identity at the time, it was naturally impossible for him to attend the funeral as a guest. He was only disposing of the Countess' body as a pharmacist.
This was also the first time Viper came into contact with the concept of "golem".
The countess's body might be hidden from others, but not from him, who had already started studying the human body.
Viper was shocked to discover that the body was not the lady's own at all, not even human at all, it was just similar in appearance.
Why did the count fake the death of the lady? Where did the real countess go? The snake didn't care. He just marveled at this imitation technology.
It was at this time that a man who called himself "Doctor" appeared and praised Viper's keen observation skills.
The two met at this point, and Viper was surprised to find that the other party also had in-depth research on the "human body", much deeper than he did.
But the only thing that differs from my own is the philosophical direction of both parties' research on the "human body".
"I discussed and communicated with him a lot. The guy also wanted to invite me to the Kingdom of Winter, but I refused because he and I had serious differences in philosophy. What I pursued was mutation, but what he pursued... It’s ascension.”
"Ascension?" Death Crow interrupted and asked.
"Yes, it means that the soul ascends, separates from the body, and is no longer bound by the body. It is under his concept that the devil was born."
"The way he invited me to the Kingdom of Winter, that is, to ascend my soul, allowed me to upload my consciousness to something called the "Magic Network" within his organization. In this way, it only took less than half a day for me to be able to instantly From the Flame Domain to the distant Winter Kingdom, thousands of miles away, this is the convenience of getting rid of the shackles of the body."
"In order to convince me, he specially made me the current demon body that is exactly the same as mine. As an anchor point, even if the soul reaches the Winter Kingdom, it can be "loaded" into this body at any time. , return to the Flame Domain.”
Viper heard this, and after giving an explanation without any lies, Death Crow took back the hand that was on the brain container.
This made the viper relax.
"Now you understand, Death Crow, I have never betrayed the treasure thief group. I just didn't want to waste this golem, so I created such a machine and borrowed the doctor's inspiration to allow the soul and body to Temporarily separated and stored in the spare brain.”
"You are really a genius, Viper." Death Crow nodded, his tone a little more appreciative.
This is indeed true. Although the appearance of alchemy technology may seem difficult to accept, such as the current human brain container, it is really practical.
No wonder the doctor valued venomous snakes so much.
"Oh, by the way! I also remembered, Dead Crow, if you are interested in that doctor, you can go find a tailor shop called... Nina or something."
"Because the doctor said before he left, if I change my mind, I can go there to find him. He also made a backup copy of his body demon and gave it to the stupid boss who made clothes for him at that time. .”
After Viper's final addition, the man in the crow mask paused for a few moments, as if reminiscing, and then said uncertainly:
"Are you sure? I remember that it was a female golem?"
Because the viper kept referring to the doctor as "he".
"Eh!? Death Crow, do you even know about this kind of thing!?"
I was shocked again by the terrifying intelligence ability of the leader of the Crow Tribe.
Viper corrected his mistake.
"Female golem? So it seems that the doctor is indeed a woman?...Uh, sorry, in my eyes, gender doesn't matter, right? I believe the doctor is the same."
"That's it, I know."
Thoughtfully, after being silent for a while, as if he had recognized something, Death Crow took out a coat of arms that exuded an ancient aura.
"Viper, if you want to improve your alchemy technology and find the person who killed you, it's impossible with your current appearance, unless you are willing to accept this."
"Dead Crow, this, what is this?"
"Stigmata."
Death Crow still had the same calm tone, but his attitude was full of respect, not for the poisonous snake, but for the coat of arms in his hand.
"You can understand this as the sacred relics that our treasure-stealing group has inherited for hundreds of years. Whoever successfully absorbs the stigmata will automatically become the absolute leader of the entire treasure-stealing group."
"Wait a minute! Dead Crow, what did you just say, hundreds of years? Isn't the history of our treasure stealing group only a few decades in total?"
Viper was extremely surprised.
Death Crow shook his head.
"I can't tell you too much now. I have to wait until you accept it and become the true leader of the treasure stealing group."
"You just need to know that Stigmata can help you, who have nothing now, get everything you want."
"Viper, what's your choice?"
Viper hesitated for a moment, but was soon overwhelmed by the enthusiasm. Alchemy technology was his hard work. Seeing the possibility of a major breakthrough, he turned into this ghost...
No one is crazier than a scientific madman.
But reason still allowed the viper to ask questions.
"Death Crow, there must be conditions for absorbing the stigmata. What will happen if you fail?"
"The conditions are very simple, just like rolling dice. You only need to roll the same pattern twice in a row from the animal patterns of each part of the treasure thief group. If you fail to throw the same pattern, the stigmata will be reversed. Come, swallow you up, become a part of it, in short...die.”
The dead crow is like an outsider or a supervisor, explaining the rules of the game to the players who are about to compete.
Viper immediately made a calculation in his mind.
There are a total of four departments in the treasure stealing group, snake, tiger, fox, and crow. If the same pattern is used twice in a row, the probability is... one-quarter times 2, which is one-eighth.
Although it is still low, it is not nothing... I bet!
It's like if there is a button in front of a person who is on the verge of bankruptcy. Even if there is a 90% chance that he will die if he presses it, as long as there is a 10% chance of giving him 10 billion, most people will still know how to do it. Press.
"bring it on!"
The viper nodded to the dead crow. He believed in his luck. After all, he had always been very lucky.
"good."
After the dead crow nodded, the ancient article in his hand floated up under the urging of the mysterious power and began to merge into the body of the poisonous snake's body container.
At the same time, two golden dice floated in the air.
It smells like a thief.
It’s about to begin!
Viper held his breath and concentrated, but the next second, he was stunned.
Because the faces of this dice are so densely packed that it’s impossible to count them!
"you!"
The viper's eyes were about to burst open.
More than two digits, no, I'm afraid it has to be more than three digits in different patterns.
Want to be consistent twice in a row.
This probability...is tantamount to death!
The viper angrily wanted to roar at the Death Crow, but the stigma ceremony had already begun, and he could do nothing. He could only watch helplessly as the dice with countless sides in the stigma began to be thrown out.
Then.
"It's a pity, Viper. It seems that you are still a little bit short of luck in becoming the leader of the treasure thief group."
The man under the crow mask shook his head and sighed deeply.
That's when his words fell.
"No!"
He screamed unwillingly.
Countless white lights floated out from the body of the poisonous snake, which was a substance that symbolized the origin. After all of them were absorbed by the stigmata, the scene returned to silence.
The liquid in the bubbling flesh container stabilized, and as for the container holding the venomous snake's brain, the brain tissue inside also shrank and withered.
Viper, the representative figure of alchemy technology, has completely disappeared this time.
But alchemy technology does not.
Because, the dead crow lowered his head and looked down, and returned to the ancient coat of arms in his hand. In a corner that was originally blank, there was an extra pattern as a symbol of the viper's alchemical technology.
The whole process was extremely skillful, as if it had been performed countless times.
After putting away the heraldic stigmata again.
Deathcrow sighed again.
It's been hundreds of years...
Can anyone really have such luck? Are the rules left by the ancestors of the treasure thief group really correct?
Dead Crow doesn't know.
As if falling into memories, after a long time, he turned into a crow and disappeared here.
...
...
The sun is shining and it's a new day.
No matter what happened last night, the sun will still rise the next day.
A good day starts with drawing cards!
The little wolf cub rubbed his little paws.
He originally had three character advent cards, but last night he used up Bai's "Forbidden Demonic Body" advent card, leaving Vivian's "Lucky Halo" advent card, and Shirley's "Abyss Affinity" advent card.
My turn, draw a card!
[Ding, you got the "Xinyan's Advent Card-Nirvana"]
[Card effect: When your health drops to 1%, clear all your negative status and restore 50% of your health]
Damn it!
A card with a picture of "Fiery Red Phoenix Egg in Hot Lava" on the card was suspended in front of the little wolf cub.
This feeling is like pulling out the SSR alone
Can!
There are five opportunities to draw cards every day. Liao Zixuan did not expect that he would be shipped on the first draw.
Looking at the remaining four cards, he felt a little regretful. He had no choice but to do so. There was no remaining card library space and he could only store three cards at most.
In fact, Liao Zixuan has thought about whether to reset Vivian's "lucky halo" card. After all, it seems that the effect is not that significant compared to others.
It's a pity that the character's advent card cannot be used on himself. Why not just add a "lucky halo" buff to draw cards? That would not be a proper takeoff!
As for Shirley's "Abyss Affinity" card...
Originally, Liao Zixuan was still worried about where to use it, but after last night, especially after discovering the amazing secret of Earl Thistle...
Liao Zixuan felt that he had found the most suitable candidate.
He has to change his strategy, take a long-term view, and catch big fish.
And since you want to fish, you naturally need bait.
Just when the little wolf cub on the bed was still thinking about it.
Suddenly, a sudden voice came out from behind him, making Liao Zixuan almost jump out of his skin.
"Xiao Hei, a lot of things happened last night..." Vivian's faint voice came.
!
Instant alertness.
Fortunately, after breakfast, Vivian held a copy of the Morning Express in her hand. What the little girl told him was obviously the incident in the newspaper.
Ahem.
After Vivian cleared her throat.
Keep reading.
"A huge explosion occurred in the outer city. The cause is suspected to be caused by safety irregularities in a prohibited pharmaceutical factory secretly established by an organization underground. The city guard military stated that it has brought the fire disaster under control and has launched a comprehensive investigation."
"Xiao Hei, what do you think?"
Vivian held her little wolf cub on her lap.
The little girl pointed at the news in the newspaper and asked with her eyes blinking.
"These illegal pharmaceutical companies are so wicked! They deserved the explosion!"
The little wolf cub waved his paw vigorously to show his anger.
"What about this one, Xiao Hei."
Vivian pointed at the newspaper again with her little hand, and there was another article immediately following the biggest news just now.
"A small-scale explosion and fire occurred in the inner city. The cause is temporarily unknown. Many shops were destroyed. The City Guards stated that they have intervened in the investigation and must find out the cause!"
The most outrageous thing is that this report is also accompanied by a set of pictures.
There was a nobleman kneeling in front of a shop where many of the goods in the windows had been destroyed, and he was wailing heartily.
In particular, the shop located at the center of the fight between Liao Zixuan and the maid was completely reduced to the ground, not even the scum was left.
Look at that noble's dumbfounded look.
Although there is no accompanying text, it is better than the accompanying text.
As if to say.
Where is my store?
I've always opened a shop here, it's such a big shop! ?
By the way.
The image of this nobleman is a bit indecent, with various bruises on his face, looking like a pig's head.
He also spent a lot of money to add a bounty mission next to the report.
The general meaning is that whoever can find the real culprit who destroyed all his stores, even if he just provides clues, he will give a large sum of money as a reward.
It can be seen that the noble's nose was so angry that he was crooked.
Oh, his nose was already crooked by the stolen treasure group, so that's okay.
"Xiao Hei..."
Vivian held the little wolf cub, which looked like "I don't know anything," with its front paws in her hands, and raised it up in front of her.
"Next... we have to work hard to make money to pay off our debts."
