Chapter 149 Riddle’s Legacy
Chavin Empire, Royal Capital Troon
Duke Garros’ Mansion, Underground
The slightly trembling body on the stone chair gradually regained its stability , the lifeless eyes behind the mask slowly opened, and the corners of his mouth outlined an upward arc, seeming to be mocking the fragility and powerlessness of his body.
"Not only can it only give such superficial pain, but even this body that belongs to 'me' is so useless..." He raised his head, his unfocused eyes seemed to be staring at someone. The invisible existence sneered in a low voice.
The candlelight that was originally evenly distributed in this space swayed slightly, as if trying to drive away the surrounding darkness and merge with him.
It is rare that Ji Xiaodao, Garros and others are not here...
It is rare to enjoy this moment of tranquility...
It is rare to have time to think alone...
Although there is nothing worth thinking about.
Time flows slowly, and for some reason, the candles on the surrounding stone walls that have not burned to the end are extinguished one after another, making everything return to deathly silence for no reason.
[However, this feeling is not bad. If possible, I really hope that this time that seems to be isolated from the world can be extended...]
"Mo!"
A hazy figure appeared not far away.
Okay~ The pleasant rest time is over, the world has never been so friendly...
A ray of fire quickly spread against the wall from a short distance away. The candles that had been extinguished were lit one by one. The slim figure at the entrance became clearly visible, and her dark red eyes reflected a black cloud. Shadow, that person is never favored by the light, or is a guy who is incompatible with everything.
A nasty guy!
Ji Xiaodao felt this way from the first time he saw the man in front of him.
Arrogant, lonely, indifferent, elusive...
Violent, crazy, cruel, unscrupulous...
Cold, weird, hypocritical, unpredictable...
Most of the time he seems to be a chilling demon, but occasionally he can show the gentleness of an angel. During the cocktail party, he can make the most picky people The etiquette master is speechless, but he can also dye his hands red at any time and any place without warning, to create a tragedy that is meaningless in the eyes of others.
【Which one is the real him? 】
Ji Xiaodao asked herself this countless times. She did not seek anyone’s opinions or ideas, neither her sister nor Garros or Galahat. Pass.
Because she felt that if she, who was closest to him, didn’t know, then it would be even less likely for others to know...
It's a pity that she hasn't come up with that answer until now.
"When did it go online?" She walked slowly to Mo and asked in a low voice.
While enjoying the unbearable severe pain, the latter squinted his eyes and leaned back on the chair, and casually replied: "It didn't take long."
"Why not when it's online? Send me a message as soon as possible? You must know that your current physical condition is prone to problems." The girl stared at the indifferent man in front of her, with a hint of anger in her cold voice.
Faced with Ji Xiaodao's question, Mo just glanced at her coldly: "I don't remember when I promised to notify you immediately when I go online, let alone..."< br>
"What's more?" Ji Xiaodao's hands were surrounded by two groups of water-blue mist, constantly relieving the seemingly endless pain in Mo's body. He said coldly: "Garros told me before, your current My physical condition cannot get any worse, and I may die suddenly at any time!”
Mo nodded lightly and smiled sarcastically: "What I want to say is, even if I die suddenly, what will happen? You are too stupid after all. , or have you gradually begun to lose sight of the difference between games and reality?”
Ji Xiaodao was stunned for a moment.
"Even if I die here, at best I will just re-establish a role." Mo crossed his hands in front of his chest, and there was no emotion in every word in his mouth: "So don't you think Are you a little bored? "
The girl was silent, but her hands that were resting on the other person's shoulders never let go, and the soft mist was still flowing.
A moment later
"Garros came to see me once before." Ji Xiaodao pulled a few strands of silver hair around his ears and said lightly: "You guessed it right, Prince Kangda Bohe and Farah's apprentice, High Mage Luther King, has left Troon, and has not alerted anyone yet. They are currently resting in a small town north of the royal capital, which is on the edge of Prince Kunda's fiefdom, not far from here. It’s not very far.”
Mo nodded, and then asked leisurely: “The towns on the edge of the Prince’s Territory? Are they Baiye Town, Fast Town, Qishan Town, Phantom Town, and Yingzhou? Which one in Song Town? "
"Fantatom Town." Ji Xiaodao was a little surprised, so he couldn't help but asked subconsciously: "Why do you know so clearly?"
Mask? His eyes flickered slightly, and Mo shook his head after being silent for a few seconds: "It's nothing, it's just that I have some experience in memorizing maps."
"Uh, is that just that?"
For some reason, Ji Xiaodao seemed to have some kind of illusion. For the first time, she felt that the guy in front of her seemed to be trying to hide something.
"In that case..." However, Mo did not intend to say anything more on this topic. After ignoring the other party's question just now, he said softly: "We should almost be ready to leave."< br>
【We? ! 】
Ji Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately repeated a little uneasily: "We?"
"It's okay if you don't want to go." Mo looked back at Ji Xiaodao and said with a half-smile: "You can leave, or you can stay here to help Galahad monitor the movements of the nobles."
The girl shook her head gently and said in a deep voice: "You should know That's not what I meant."
"You should also know that I don't care what you mean." Mo raised his hand to hold his mask and said in a cold tone: "Go and call Garros. Well..."
After that, he closed his eyes.
Ji Xiaodao glanced helplessly at the guy in front of him who could no longer communicate, sighed, and left silently.
The candle flame began to flicker again.
"Forget it." He suddenly whispered: "I already know it clearly enough. It will be troublesome to light the candle again..."
The candle flame became stable again. .
The next second, they were all extinguished in an instant as if they had been agreed upon in advance.
"Oh, I'm really curious, which side has more hatred..."
Five minutes later
Mo's eyes, which were darker than the surrounding environment, captured two figures, one of which was obviously Ji Xiaodao who had just left here.
"My lord."
The other figure bowed slightly.
It was Garros... Even though it was in darkness, Mo still easily identified him.
Just like the daytime is dazzling to people who live in the dark all year round, in Mo's eyes, even if the surroundings are dark now, he still can't help but want to squint his eyes.
Looking at Duke Badgaros, who had an eyepatch on his left eye and a very clear face in front of him, Mo shrugged slightly. He remembered that he didn't seem to have this ability before, at least not in the game.
Then...
[You have unlocked the talent: Sinful Sight]
The system beep sounded in his ears.
"Boring..."
Mo sneered, and then whispered to Garros: "Light the candle."
A silent wind blew from Garros It spread between the fingers, and in less than half a second, the circle of exhausted candles around them had been lit again.
Cleverly mix a little fire element into the breeze summoned instantly, and then quickly peel and shake it when the former brushes the tip of each candle. This hand alone seems simple but is actually difficult to achieve. His elemental control skills are enough to prove that Garros's magical attainments are infinitely close to art.
"Silent Prayer has just informed me of the movements of His Royal Highness the Prince and Mr. Luther." Mo slowly stood up and asked softly while moving his somewhat stiff body: "What's the situation now?"
Garros immediately replied: "His Royal Highness the Prince and His Excellency the Dharma God's apprentice Luther are still in Phantom Town at this time. There is also a dark elf girl with them. The two of them temporarily seem to be There is no sign of continuing to move towards the hinterland of the prince's territory."
"I understand." Mo nodded slightly, and then asked with interest: "What happened to your left eye?"
Garros smiled slightly and raised his hand to lift his eye mask...
Where the eyeballs should have been, there was only a hollow depression left inside, which looked extremely strange.
This scene made Ji Xiaodao feel queasy.
"I used magic to treat my left eye a little bit before, and it is currently over Phantom Town." Garros replied respectfully to Mo, then quickly put down the eye patch and turned to face Ji Xiaodao, who lightly covered his mouth, smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I look a bit scary now."
Ji Xiaodao shook his head quickly, and then asked in a low voice: "You are like this Are you sure there won't be any problems in the future?"
"Don't worry." Garros smiled: "There are no side effects except a little pain when taking it out."
< br>Mo slowly walked up to Garros and ordered softly: "Take out the things I put there for you before."
"Yes." Garros immediately took half a step back, took out a black leather belt set with several gems, and took out an exquisitely crafted short snake-headed staff.
Ji Xiaodao stepped forward to take a look with some curiosity.

“This is...” Ji Xiaodao looked at Mo in surprise: “You want to use this?”
The latter shook his head: "To be precise, you want to use this, Garros, give it to her."
Ji Xiaodao took the short staff handed over by Garros and put it in his hands with a complex expression. Pack it into your bag.
"Let's set off in one hour." Mo Shen Sheng said to Garros: "You, I and Silent Prayer should keep a low profile as much as possible, and by the way, send someone to notify Galahad and let him be executed secretly. The bodies of the knights who were sent near the Mage Tower and His Highness the Prince’s residence will be processed after I come back. Go ahead.”
Garros bowed deeply to Mo, then immediately turned around and left.
"You should have carefully looked at the effect of the item just now." Mo turned to Ji Xiaodao and asked.
"I've seen it." The girl nodded, then frowned slightly and said, "Are you going to let me use it on you?"
Mo nodded: "That's right."
"But it says you have to endure 'extreme' pain!" Ji Xiaodao specially emphasized the word 'extreme', and then said uneasily: "And although the shield created by this thing looks like Yes, but the health value is only a hundred times that of your professional level. If it is a very powerful opponent..."
Mo raised his hand to interrupt her: "The opponent only has a prince with no fighting ability and a It’s just a high-level arcane and fire mage. Stop talking nonsense. If you want to join us, get ready now."
"Okay..."
......
One hour later
A simple-looking carriage drove out from the north gate of Troon.
"How long will it take to get there?" Mo asked Garros casually, leaning on a pile of cushions.
The latter pondered for a moment, and then said: "If we go at the current speed, we will probably arrive early tomorrow morning, but if I use some auxiliary magic, the time should be shortened by about one-third."
"No, it doesn't need to be so fast." Mo narrowed his eyes and ordered Garros: "Continue to monitor the movements of the two people over there. Rest as usual at night and recuperate. We don't need to be too anxious."
Garros nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Ji Xiaodao, who was sitting next to Mo, asked coldly: "Aren't you afraid that the two of them will run away during this period? You know, even if Garros can see it, but There is no way..."
"No way." Mo Yi looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside and whispered: "If they wanted to run away, they would have run away, so since If you haven’t left until now..."
If there is any real murderous intention, it flows slowly in his eyes.
"Then don't leave."
