Chapter 2386 Xiao Le’s Journey to the West
Game time PM18:47
Northwestern Continent, eastern Caselo Grassland, Lieyang Hills
It stands to reason that it is already the time when the sun sets in the west. , on the green grass that was still shrouded by the skylight at this moment, three graceful figures were relatively speechless.
One is a beauty with waist-length black hair, a complicated black and white hunting jacket, beige pantyhose, and wooden clogs. She has a fair complexion, a sweet face, and smart eyes. girl.
The second one is a beautiful girl with waist-length black hair, a complicated black and white hunting jacket, beige pantyhose, and wooden clogs. She has a fair complexion, a sweet face, and smart eyes.
Third, she looks exactly the same as the two beautiful girls above except that her temperament is not too sweet. She has waist-length blue hair and wears white clothes with patterns drawn by countless ghost heads. Hei Haakama is a beautiful girl with dark sclera and pale pupils, holding an 'imperial coin' with a large number of black zigzag strips of paper connected to the top. Although her skin tone is equally fair, she looks more voluptuous.
Yes, these three are Mo Tan’s good sisters inside and outside the game. They are the core members of [Haunted Church] and the absolute C position. After [Inquisition], their strength has further improved and they are already in the position at this moment. Ranked fifth in the personal combat power rankings, not only The strength is infinitely close to the epic, and he is the only one with the epic quality title [Changle] among the famous players except 'Cordoba'. A strong man of the hard work, the returnee beauty girl Gu Xiaole from the J province of China. ...and its two shikigami.
Among them, the one who is exactly the same as Gu Xiaole in appearance, clothing, and even text introduction is something she cannot find in reality. Although the lower limit is extremely low, the upper limit is far higher than the others. Shikigami's 'Origami', by the way Mention, the lower limit here is for Gu Xiaole’s shikigami lineup. After all, even if he can’t beat the dog (Shikigami·Inuki) at home, after being strengthened by [White Zetsu·Shura Hell], Origami still has the upper hand. The ability to instantly kill regular high-level experts under any circumstances!
Of course, if it is not strengthened, then Origami's combat effectiveness is probably only at the embarrassing level of ordinary high-level players. Although there should be no problem in beating the likes of Big Flower and Morning Glory, even high-level players Tian Xingdao, who is relatively outstanding among them, can defeat him head-on in a fair duel.
Origami is also very self-aware. This shikigami girl has a very clear "self-positioning" after being folded by her own lord. She has a naughty personality and likes to give people the middle finger everywhere (it changed after being killed by Ji Xiaodao). On the contrary, Origami insists that she is just a vase used to show cuteness and adjust the atmosphere. Thanks to the fact that her protagonist is very talented in this area, Origami is indeed very likable.
But the other shikigami present is completely different in terms of painting style.
Although their nature is the same as the 'Samurai Soul' in the Onmyoji concept or the 'Original Ghost' in the psychic concept, Gu Xiaole's Samurai Soul in the game [Innocent Boundary] seems to have a huge problem——
For example, Gu Xiaole's Samurai Soul outside the game does not have independent thoughts, but is an extension of his own will. However, the Samurai Soul in the game is very disobedient, and the probability of backlash is ridiculously high.
For example, there are only two appearances of Samurai Shodown outside the game. One is a one-to-one replica of Gu Xiaole’s clothes at that time when summoned, but wearing a skirt is just a skirt, and wearing a school uniform at that time is a school uniform; Just like Sister Xiaole, she is wearing hunting clothes and other normal Onmyoji standard equipment.
All in all, in Gu Xiaole's impression, he had never summoned such a Samurai Soul who looked like a shrine maiden from side to side!
Although this 'past' refers to the past that was not that long ago, Gu Xiaole's process of conquering his own shikigami was so insanely difficult that after the [Inquisition Controversy] ended, Gu Xiaole even prepared to temporarily Give up on Samurai Soul and wait until you reach the epic level before trying again.
Unfortunately, as the saying goes, plans can’t keep up with changes and things don’t work out as planned. As a member of the championship team of [Crime Debate·Team Battle], Gu Xiaole, who received the same awards as the character ‘Hei Fan’, of course also received the same award. Completed the epic career mission that countless people dream of.
The content of the task also seems very intuitive, and the text does not add up to many words, that is -
'Choice: Increase the control of [Samurai Soul] to more than 70%/at any time Serve as an important figure in a large-scale mission of epic quality and the contribution is no less than the top 1%'
It can be seen that this task seems to be quite easy to do intuitively. After all, when the rewards are all for advancement to the epic profession [Great Onmyoji], in principle, this kind of 'choice' task only needs to be completed by choosing one. No matter which condition is met, the result will be the same [Great Onmyoji].
But——
If you think about it carefully, these two conditions are actually not easy to achieve. In terms of tasks, because only regional tasks and world tasks can be considered 'large-scale tasks'. When the quality is forced to be [Epic], the number of tasks that meet the conditions is really too small. In the past few days, Gu Xiaole has been posting on the official forum and several portals, and has also joined several high-end player mutual aid groups. , but can only find large-scale tasks of 'ordinary', 'excellent' and 'refined' quality, and there is no epic quality that I can get involved in.
Of course, if Gu Xiaole really wants to find it, he only needs to contact large player forces such as [Red Constellation], [Broken Wind Bird], [Pai Lao], etc. He is fifth in the personal rankings and the total in the group competition of the crime debate. The champion's reputation is definitely enough for others to share some good tasks with her, but Sister Xiaole doesn't want to owe favors, so unless she is forced to have no choice, she actually doesn't want to deal with those professional players.
Because of this, as for whether to participate in the [Continent-level world mission·City of Innocence] and its linked limited-time secret realm [Deep Forest], which was officially announced on the official website after the large-scale upgrade of the Innocence Realm, Gu Xiaole is still in the hesitant stage, a little eager to join in the fun, but a little afraid of trouble.
To sum up, although there are many escape routes, Gu Xiaole is still at a loss when it comes to the task.
As for the other condition...
As I said just now, Gu Xiaole had repeatedly tried to conquer his own 'Samurai Soul' before he had this mission, but unfortunately he had little success, even though he was in the right place at the right time. When people and people are ready, they can use their power to fight, but as for the more specific degree of control... Although there is no detailed data, Gu Xiaole feels that even the most optimistic estimate is less than 10%!
To be honest, after realizing that [The Great Onmyoji], the task of restoring one's strength to the same level outside the game, was so difficult, Gu Xiaole, who was in a very good state of mind, couldn't help but become melancholy.
As a result, just when she was about to take a break and find a dark place to have a heart-to-heart talk with the 'Samurai Soul', Ji Xiaoge brought her an interesting news.
Just to the east of the Savage Highlands in the northwest continent, a very disturbing ancient ruins appeared. Although it was most likely not a large-scale mission, I was very concerned about the things buried underground, and even went so far as to Gu Xiaole, who chose archeology without arousing suspicion, agreed without hesitation and planned to go to Little Pigeon to relax. In addition, the half-dragon guy who had met once in a public space seemed to be there too, because there was not a long separation between them, so even though the two of them had only met once, and they had never spoken to each other in total, After several conversations, Gu Xiaole was still deeply impressed by him.
Of course, this deep impression is not the point. The point is, if Gu Xiaole’s judgment is correct, the relationship between the half-dragon boy and Ji Xiaoge is by no means simple. , or to put it more clearly, she felt that the two of them were most likely in love, at most it was the kind of love that neither party knew about.
I have to go now!
Without any hesitation, Gu Xiaole left the 'retreat' on the same day he promised Ji Xiaoge, and rushed to the northwest continent firmly, intending to observe the little brother Mo as a 'family member' .
It is true that the other party left an inexplicably good impression on her last time, but it was only under the premise that 'Brother Mo is a good friend of Yu Jiang', but this time it is a different matter——
Unlike Yi Dong and others, as the only one in the small group who clearly understands the Even for someone who is an 'abnormal', Gu Xiaole still knows a little bit about the situation of the Ji family twins. Because of this, she understands Ji Xiaoge's underlying logic of the world better than anyone else. How terrifying is the beauty and charm of ordinary fouls.
It is true that in reality, the girl's charm was suppressed within common sense by her almost omnipotent father in an outrageous way of 'deceiving the world', and this is also true in [The Realm of Innocence]. Talents with similar effects exist, but even so, Gu Xiaole is still a little worried.
After all, in the eyes of most people, extremely beautiful appearance and extremely wealthy family background can easily make feelings not 'pure'.
This is not an unreasonable prejudice. After all, a person's appearance will gradually decline with age and other reasons, and the family situation can easily rise and fall due to various accidents. In this case, Partners who are initially attracted to their appearance or financial strength are naturally more likely to change their minds.
As for the "like character/character/inheritance/mentality" and other bad rhetoric that are praised by people, in fact, from an objective point of view, they are really more stable than the above two traits.
Although Gu Xiaole was not too impressed by these miscellaneous things, given that Ji Xiaoge’s situation was a bit too special, she felt that it would be better for her to keep a close eye on her, and her request didn’t have to be too outrageous, as long as the other party If he wasn't completely focused on the little pigeon's pretty face, he wouldn't have made any move.
After all, as long as they don’t meet that kind of super scumbag, Gu Xiaole feels that girls of Ji Xiaoge’s age can fall in love and fall out of love freely.
In short, driven by these reasons, Sister Xiaole embarked on the journey to the northwest continent, and then... she encountered trouble that she loved to see.
And the problem that a strong person like Sister Xiaole, who has reached the epic realm, can regard as a 'trouble' and cannot be solved in a short time is her disobedient Samurai Soul.
The explanation of this matter is simple. The general process is that Gu Xiaole found a place with strong yin energy, which is particularly suitable for retreat, and released the Samurai Soul. As a result, before starting the therapy, he received news from Ji Xiaoge, and when she When I made up my mind to go to the northwest continent to find him first, I suddenly found that Samurai Hun couldn't go back!
That’s right, you can’t go back!
Gu Xiaole could be sent back to the ‘Fate Talisman’ with just one thought, but he can’t go back!
Not only that, although this Samurai Soul looks exactly like Gu Xiaole, the style of painting has nothing to do with Onmyoji. She looks like a [ghost witch] and cannot even be forcibly transformed into a spirit body. That is to say , if Gu Xiaole wants to take the airship to the Northwest Continent, he has to buy two adult tickets.
Gu Xiaole, who had bought more than 200,000 gold coins from [Gymbois Studio] a long time ago, is naturally not short of this amount of money, but the problem is that if he brings an unstable and uncontrollable character like Samurai Shodown, There is an extreme air crash that could lead to the death of everyone if not careful on boarding the ship. This is something Gu Xiaole cannot accept.
It is true that the average crash rate of Explosion Tank Airlines' ships can reach 70%, but because its remedial measures are very complete and even provide small disposable anti-gravity survival kits, the mortality rate is extremely low, but if Gu Xiaole's Samurai Soul Suddenly there was a commotion...
Don't look at the debate on guilt and the destruction of There are a lot of experts in places like the Bad King Mercenary Group, Jackdaw Castle and even Doumbouya City, but under normal circumstances, the probability of an airship having high-level professionals among its passengers is less than 10%, which is He said that if Gu Xiaole chose to take the airship, most of his fellow travelers would be at a level where they would be stared to death by the Samurai Soul.
In desperation, Gu Xiaole had no choice but to take the land route, and he could only travel during the day, because the Samurai Soul would be strengthened after dark. Although he would not be out of Gu Xiaole's control, if there were people traveling with him, this would If a guy suddenly loses control, he may cause trouble before being suppressed.
But even so, Gu Xiaole's speed was still not slow. It only took three days to reach the Lieyang Hills of the Northwest Continent. Next, he only needed to take the Caselo Grassland and pass through Tuo After the city-state of Lille, the Principality of Freya and the Wild Fang Wilderness, they arrived at [Loya].
However, Gu Xiaole was worried that the situation of Samurai Soul would cause him to become a hidden danger in the team even if it reached [Loya], so he temporarily stopped in the Lieyang Hills where the environment could best suppress it, and continued to try to follow him The shikigami understand each other.
The result...
The bad news is that Gu Xiaole kept talking for two hours, and Shihun didn't even bother to pay attention to her, he didn't even raise his head to look at her.
The worse news is that when Gu Xiaole summoned Origami to comfort him, this bastard who had never met Samurai Soul mistook him for the wrong master and actually started acting coquettishly with Samurai Soul.
So what’s the good news?
Along the way, Tori Toriya Koraku’s Samurai Soul actually picked up the origami!
