Chapter 43 Challenges and Tests
After that, Duanmuhuai integrated the [Ancient Amplifier] and [Ancient Automatic Machinery] with [Sky City], so that they can automatically create a certain number of (creations) every day in [Sky City] And (mechanical soldiers), of course, Duanmu Huai needs to consume spiritual energy to summon these creations, but at least now, he is carrying a large explosive base with him. For Duanmu Huai, this is enough.
However, Duanmuhuai still has some small doubts.
That's about that legend.
He still remembered that when he went up the mountain, he learned from the knights who were traveling together that the Green Knight, the patron saint of Bretonnia, had gone to Sky City under the guidance of the Lady of the Lake. Duanmu Huai also asked Mia, who said Indeed, hundreds of years ago, a player came to Sky City to challenge, but unfortunately he failed to break through the final level, so he only received a set of armor and weapons as a consolation prize...
Well, the consolation prize is okay. I didn’t expect that the weapons and armor of the Green Knight were actually obtained as a consolation prize. If the Bretonnians knew the truth, I don’t know what they would say.
But Duanmu Huai could also understand. After all, the final BOSS was really disgusting. He didn't know what the brain of the person who designed that level was like. He didn't intend for anyone to clear the level. You want to say that if you have a large number of people, you can still fight, but Mia said that it seems that this also limits the number of people and strength level, so why don't you give me an egg?
If you form a five-man team to fight twenty-five, aren't you looking for death?
It’s good that the Green Knight came back alive.
In fact, Duanmuhuai suspected that the designer of this Sky City had no intention of letting people pass the customs at all, just like those merchants who claimed to give away a Ferrari as a first prize - even if you won the lottery, they would only give you a Ferrari... ... model.
Capitalists are the same thing in the entire universe.
However, Duanmuhuai still has a question about this.
That is...how did the Lady of the Lake know about Sky City?
According to legend, the Green Knight went to Sky City for a trial under the guidance of the Lady of the Lake, which means that the Lady of the Lake knew about the existence of Sky City. So the question becomes, is the Lady of the Lake a survivor of the civilization that created Sky City? Or does she just know that there is such a thing, but doesn't know what it is?
Duanmuhuai thinks it should be the latter. After all, the Lady of the Lake is also a god. It is not surprising to find a playground hidden on her own property. It is very likely that the Lady of the Lake herself has gone in and ran out pissed after being blown up. Then I had to choose to find others to help me pass the level, euphemistically called a trial...
After all, there is no trace of Bretonnia related to Sky City at all, and even the architectural style is completely different. If the Lady of the Lake is really a survivor of the civilization that created Sky City, then at least her temple and architectural style should be similar to Sky City. It's just that Duanmuhuai didn't see any building in the sky city with a similar architectural style to Bretonnia, so this can almost be ruled out.
Of course, these are just speculations, and Duanmuhuai doesn't take it particularly seriously, because right now he is riding a motorcycle at full speed in the grassland - it feels good to have a vehicle, especially when there is no need to continue. After taking the No. 11 bus, Duanmuhuai now feels quite relaxed.
And with this vehicle, he can consider going to places that are relatively far away to search for holy objects...
“Squeak————!!”
However, just when Duanmu Huai was thinking about which place would be more suitable to find the holy objects next, a light suddenly flashed before his eyes, and then he suddenly stopped the motorcycle. Then Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked forward - he saw a figure blocking his way at the entrance of the forest path.
Although Duanmuhuai didn't recognize him, looking at the green helmet, green armor, green sword, and green horse---isn't this the legendary "Love is a light, green makes you panic" Bretonnian protector The heroic spirit of the country, the Green Knight?
What does this girl want to do to stop me? Robbery?
Just when Duanmuhuai looked at the other party in confusion, the Green Knight drew out his long sword, put it on his chest, and then pointed at Duanmuhuai from a distance. At the same time, a system prompt appeared in front of Duanmuhuai.
[Activate the special time-limited mission "Challenge"]
[Mission goal: Defeat the Green Knight]
[The Green Knight, the guardian spirit of Bretonnia, challenges you, and now it’s time for you to prove your strength to him! 】
Oh, you want to fight?
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows and swept the green knight's head. The words [LV40 (Hero)] are clearly visible, and the green color is heart-breaking. It makes people cry when they look at it, and they don’t know how many times they have been greened before even the mark on their head is green.
"Looking forward to luck and impact, what a wonderful opportunity. Over the top of the mountain in front, there are layers of white clouds, and the green light is there..."
While humming, Duanmuhuai looked at the Green Knight, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
In this case, let's see how powerful you are as a heroic spirit who protects the country!
My turn, draw a card...!
Summon three each of [Analyzed Creations] and [Ancient Creations] onto the field! Then summon one each of [Mysterious Creation] and [Gorgeous Creation]! Summon five [Large Mechanical Soldiers]!
As Duanmu Huai stretched out his right hand, soon, with a flash of light, five ancient creations suspended in the air and three tall and heavy large mechanical soldiers appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.
The cost of [Analyzed Creation] and [Ancient Creation] is 1, which becomes 0 under the influence of Archon Armor, while the cost of [Brilliant Creation] is 5, which is reduced to 2, and [Mysterious Creation] costs 5. The cost of [Large Mechanical Soldier] was 3, which was reduced to 1. The total of the thirteen summons only consumed 80 subspace calories.
Duanmu Huai's intelligence is now 12 points, and the upper limit of subspace heat is 120. Coupled with the [Primarch]'s [subspace affinity (increases heat limit/resistance by 10 points per level)] feature, Duanmu Huai's current level 23 is 120+230=350 points of subspace heat limit.
Even if Ogis's 30 points of subspace heat are added, Duanmu Huai now maintains 110 points of subspace consumption, which is less than half!
Well, as expected, the Akon armor is the most enjoyable!
"…………!"
Seeing the creations and mechanical soldiers summoned by Duanmu Huai, the Green Knight trembled and hurriedly pulled his horse back a small step - it seemed that he was beaten very badly at the beginning, which left a psychological shadow. Already?
However, Duanmu Huai didn't care. The mission only said it was a challenge, but it didn't say it was a duel. As a summoner, would he be embarrassed to challenge him in a duel?
Besides, I’m not afraid of a one-on-one challenge.
Did we choose you? Or are you picking a group of us?
Aren't they all the same?
"Up!"
Following Duanmuhuai's order, the next moment the mechanical soldiers around him rushed towards the Green Knight. At the same time, the creations in the sky also began to fire beams at the Green Knight, as if they were going to kill them all.
Facing Duanmu Huai's offensive, the Green Knight had no choice but to mount his horse and charge directly towards him. Of course, this is an endless grassland, and you can still run away if you can't defeat it. But who is the Green Knight? He is the protector of Bretonnia and the symbol of chivalry. He was the first to challenge Duanmu Huai. If he ran away now, the chivalry would be gone. .
So the Green Knight also flew forward, and then got into a fight with the [Large Mechanical Soldier].
I have to admit that the Green Knight's attack power is really amazing. Duanmu Huai took advantage of the battle to scan his values. The attack power is 60 and the defense is 50. When placed in the soul card, it means attack 6 and defense 5, although it is not as good as Ogis. The attack is 7 and the defense is 7, but Ogis's values are after awakening. The Green Knight is currently in normal state. If he also undergoes an explosive awakening, it will only be more awesome.
It's just that the awakening of the explosive seed is not a good thing, because the value after the explosive seed is awakened is fixed. For example, Ogis's offense and defense can only be locked at 7. But the Green Knight is different. If he continues to upgrade (if he can still upgrade) and increases his attack power to 70 or 80, the attack and defense after the awakening of the Explosive Seed will be higher.
But unfortunately, soul cards cannot grow, because they are just reflections of souls in the subspace. They have no past, present or future, and it is impossible to defeat monsters and upgrade.
Facing the Green Knight's attack, the [Large Mechanical Soldier] with only 3 points of defense was naturally no match. Moreover, the opponent was riding a horse, so its flexibility was not comparable to the [Large Mechanical Soldier]. However, Duanmu Huai summoned a [mysterious creation] with its own [Guardian] characteristic, which could use its own defense as a barrier to resist the enemy's attack. Although he still couldn't withstand a sword blow in front of the Green Knight, but at least he gave him time for a sword blow.
However, it is obvious that the strength of the Green Knight as a heroic spirit protecting the country is not overshadowed. Even if he was surrounded by creations and mechanical soldiers, he still broke out easily and directly slashed those [large mechanical soldiers] with a few swords, and then only Seeing the Green Knight leaping up on his horse and swinging his sword in his hand, the legions of [Creations] suspended in the air exploded in the next moment. In just a moment, the entire battlefield was swept away by the Green Knight.
Okay, that's not surprising.
Duanmuhuai was not surprised that the Green Knight was so capable, and he did not expect to defeat the Green Knight with these. The reason why these are summoned to play is.........The protagonist is next!
Inspire [Mobile Armor]!
Just when the Green Knight killed the creation in front and rushed towards Duanmuhuai, Duanmuhuai trembled all over, and then the power armor on his body suddenly changed again. A shining purple light emerged, and the entire armor grew in size!
Then Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer and charged towards the Green Knight!
