Chapter 683 387. Mr. Leos, you’re fine
For Li Ozi, the box was not much bigger than the sole of his foot. With a slight push, he easily shattered the lock, revealing the items inside:
a book.
A key that looks like a human hand bone.
And a pale, maggot-covered mask.
The other two things are the knowledge and wealth accumulated by the blacksmith when he was the 'chief of the high table'. He intends to pass these on to the destined people.
Wealth is meaningless to Li Ozi, and it is best not to touch the knowledge of the void. Neither of these two things is important.
What matters is that mask.
"So, I have two masks."
Li Ozi raised his palm, and two high-table knight masks were immediately pulled over and gathered here:
"Opening the road to the 'King' requires nine masks, and now there are seven left."
Li Ozi glanced at the book in the leather box, gravity lifted it up and turned it over quickly:
"Gold storage point, crystal contract... high table candidate - found."
The page of the book froze, and a list unfolded in front of Li Ozi:
Chief 'Maggot' - (smear)
Deputy Chief ‘Magic Eye’——Reyes
The third ‘Traveling Merchant’——Mashanat
The fourth ‘Ama’——Melissa
The Fifth ‘Poet’——Chen Wenjing
The Sixth 'Warrior' - Wallit (dead, the mask is in the hands of the 'Poet')
The Seventh ‘White Crow’——Ivans
The Eighth ‘Dancing Girl’——Christine
The Ninth ‘Garden’——Gaden
"In addition to their ranking...their fiefdoms are also recorded later."
Li Ozi studied it and found that the blacksmith recorded the activity routes of the Knights of the High Table in great detail. Most of the time, these strong men from Yota (9) stayed in their own fiefdoms, but every four months, They must return to the royal capital and attend the meeting of the Kingdom Council.
"Sure enough..."
Li Ozi's guess was correct. The Kingdom Council was essentially an alliance between warlords and oligarchs, and the 'king' was the real core and soul of the kingdom.
The latest meeting is next week.
Among them, the blacksmith pointed out: The sixth Knight of the High Table, the 'Warrior', was defeated and died in battle. The council did not announce the funeral secretly and sealed the news in the royal capital.
The garden, the maggots, the warriors, all died.
This Chen Wenjing, Li Ozi happened to have heard rumors about him at the Fermi Institute. This guy has been swallowed by the void, and the two masks in his hands have probably also fallen into the hands of the Fermi Institute.
"It's a bit troublesome..."
In other words, he had to face five more knights.
"One against five is a bit reluctant, but if we defeat them one by one, the time will drag on too long, and with the power of the research institute - I don't want to waste too much time on this planet, I need to dive into the star abyss as soon as possible..."
Li Ozi held his chin and began to analyze his battle plan based on the Dragon Satellite Map attached to the blacksmith's notes.
Even if he didn't talk about the power entrusted to him, the blacksmith and Paulina died one after another, just because of the harm caused by the void, Li Ozi had to expel the Lord of the Void here no matter what.
But here comes the problem. If he wants to deal with the King of the Void, who is at least Kappa (10), he must first unite with the strongest fighting force of Dragon Satellite, the 'King'. Only by convincing this mysterious strong man to join his side can he fight against the Void. .
As for these high table knights of the Yota level (9th level)... Li Ozi may still need their power to fight against the void in the future.
But if they insist on stopping him from seeing the 'King', then Li Ozi can only do it easily.
Because he agreed to the pledge, Li Ozi would not let the power of Xingyuan pollute the planet. Li Ozi was embarrassed and had no time to shake people.
"The problem now is how to quickly snatch all the masks from these people's hands without harming the remaining five knights of the high table as much as possible...five people, plus the research institute."
< br>
While Li Ozi was meditating, a voice suddenly sounded not far away:
"It's not five knights, Mr. Leos."
The sound seemed to be made by a young male. It did not propagate through the resonance of the air, but sounded directly in Li Ozi's heart.
【Um? ——This is divine resonance? 】
He was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized the principle, and immediately turned his head to look at the source of the sound.
Not far away, a green figure less than three meters tall slowly walked out of the forest. He was covered in emerald green armor, with porcelain skin, a gladiator goggles on his chest, two pairs of sharp horns, one large and one small, on his head, and The asymmetrical diagonal tic-tac-toe pattern on his chest was obviously nothing like Li Ozi, but when he saw the other person, he felt an indescribable similarity in his heart.
And...the other party always feels like there is some inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
He had never seen such an image of the other party, but Li Ozi just felt that he seemed to know this guy.
He looked at the other person silently. The individual with the same porcelain skin walked not far in front of him and said hello in a friendly way:
"Sir Leos, what's your attitude? You don't even say hello when you see an old friend - ah, you don't recognize me, do you?"
Li Ozi looked at the other party coldly, racking his brains to think about who the other party was.
[I don’t know. There is no record of this NPC at all. 】
[Although the appearance is unfamiliar, the tone always reminds me of a boy who needs a beating...]
【Who is this? 】
The guy in emerald green armor spread his hands:
"No, you really don't remember your old friend, do you? We just met a few months ago."
months ago?
Li Ozi started thinking.
He said that a few months ago, he was just a pile of bulk goods.
【No, that’s not right! 】
Li Ozi suddenly realized something:
[He kept saying ‘Sir Leos’, and said a few months ago...]
[Wait a minute, if it weren’t for Dragon Satellite a few months ago—it wouldn’t be possible. 】
[Could he be talking about the game time of "Star Abyss"? 】
If calculated based on game time, the version update period is only one month for players...if we go back a while.
——Isn’t that the time when I went to Violet Star with Caramel Snail?
【Purple Star...】
[What happened on the Purple Star... Caramel Snail was corrupted by [Society], Leoz took action...]
[But at that time - huh? ! 】
When he arrived here, Li Ozi had an idea.
Connected!
It's all connected.
He raised his head, looked at the emerald green armor in front of him, and said:
"Caramel snails?"
"Oh, we are so familiar, why are you calling that fake game name?"
The emerald green armor shrugged, the ripples on his face continued to undulate, and he chuckled:
"Jiao Ziniu, Gio Skua, whatever. They are all the same person anyway."
He walked up to Li Ozi, touched him below the waist with his elbow, and said jokingly:
"Oh no, the filter of reality has been on for so long that I have forgotten my own race."
Gio Skua said easily:
"It's...the same 'god'." (End of Chapter)
