Chapter 288 Long: Am I part of your play? (Updated Chapter)

“Help him and kill the ‘Sky-Burning Dragon’ hovering in the sky” - Lockland made this request to Luo Xiu.

After that, Lockland said nothing more and just waited silently for Luo Xiu's reply.

Luo Xiu's expression was calm as usual, staring at the magic knight opposite with a scrutinizing gaze, and he was also weighing the risks and values ​​of this proposal in his heart.

From his words, Luo Xiu probably guessed the real reason why Lockland did not die.

——That is "Black Devouring the Core of Life".

It is also the forbidden knowledge recorded in "Saed's Codex".

It’s just that this taboo technique does not directly affect the golem, but acts on the “warlock”. It is a special method used to improve the sorcerer’s physique and “golem transformation”.

Obviously, this is a very evil technology. Luo Xiu has also torn off key parts of the page recording "Black Devouring Life Core", which prevents Lockland from directly transforming himself and has to rely on "Golem" conducts experiments.

While Rockland was still "alive", he may have used another forbidden skill to "copy" or resonate his own consciousness in the body of the golem.

This allowed Lockland to control the golem like an arm and a finger, and in the process found the inspiration to apply the skills of the Black Devouring Rune to the physical body. However, by accident, he became the target of Lockland's resurrection. container.

This is not just a guess. In the panel detection of "Dragon Hunter" Rockland, the item "Black Devouring Life Core" is lying quietly in the status bar.

Although Luo Xiu has determined the true identity of "Rockland" and can roughly piece together his true past from his words, Rockland does not know this, and he does not seem to be prepared to tell him Luo Xiu confessed that he was "Lockland".

But this is normal - for both Luo Xiu and Lockland, not clarifying their true identity would be conducive to smoother communication.

For Lockland, it was the confidence to hide, but for Luo Xiu, it was a more important weight and handle.

"How can I trust you?" Luo Xiu then asked Lockland calmly.

His cold eyes did not diminish at all, and those eyes that seemed to be able to see through armor were staring directly at the opponent, exerting a strong sense of oppression on Lockland.

Lockland was silent for a while, then raised his left hand and stretched it to the right side of his chest.

——Poof! His gauntlet, as sharp as a blade, pierced his chest like a beast's flesh, and he grabbed a pulsating mass from it.

“This is the heart, Your Excellency.”

Lockland said.

Luo Xiu’s eyes then fell on what Lockland had just taken out.

As Rockland said, it is indeed the "heart" - a mass of blood and flesh entangled with each other, pumping dark and dark physical energy between the blood and spiritual threads Transformation, that is the true body of "Black Devouring Life Core"!

"I am ready to hand it to you. This is a mortgage, Your Excellency Bishop. You can crush it at any time."

Lockland said: "Although crushing it will not kill you Me, but it was enough to make me severely injured and lose any strength to resist."

After finishing speaking, Lockland was silent for a while, as if observing Luo Xiu's reaction.

After seeing Luo Xiu’s brows raised slightly and a somewhat moved expression on his face, Lockland continued:

“How is it? This is enough to prove my sincerity. "

"..."

This is indeed sincere... When listening to Lockland say this, Luo Xiu was also thinking secretly.

What Lockland said was not a lie, he was just hiding something, but it didn't hurt - Luo Xiu knew that this act, which was tantamount to handing over his life to the other party, showed that he was indeed facing a greater crisis.

This is enough to ensure that Lockland will not betray him in a short time, at least not before killing the dragon in the sky.

But Luo Xiu still asked tentatively:

"Heh. Aren't you afraid that I will crush your heart on the spot and kill you in this 'lightless cage'?"

“This is the least risky option for me – after all, I alone can deal with you, and with the giant bronze dragon in the sky, killing you is not crucial, but it does save the time. More trouble."

"..."

"No, you won't do that, Your Excellency," Lockland shook his head.

“Because I still have value - whether it is as a demon puppet of the 'Dragon Hunting Armor', or a hidden helper in this war, the wise choice will always tend to consume less and gain more. The bigger party."

"Besides, I also know more about the secrets of the 'Hidden Elder' Babelun and the Dark Army. I will tell you the information that only I know. Redeem Heart, if you can accept me, I am willing to join you."

"How about it? Your Excellency, I think I have stated my proposal and position, and it is time for you to tell me the answer. .”

"..."

When the conversation came to this point, the game-like confession was over, and Luo Xiu had already made his decision.

"Okay."

The corners of Luo Xiu's mouth rose, the hostility on his face gradually dissipated, a calm smile appeared, and he said, "I accept your proposal."

As Rockland said, from the perspective of interest interaction, Rockland's proposal has clarified the benefits he can provide.

The previous questions Luo Xiu added at the end were to let Lockland reveal more value.

Obviously, he succeeded. This is the most fundamental purpose of "testing".

The "risk" must also be borne, but in Luo Xiu's eyes, it has been greatly reduced by the true identity of "Rockland".

After all, although the "generalist" Lockland has touched the taboo, it is indeed impossible for him to be a grasshopper in the same boat as the Dark Principality.

After hearing Luo Xiu's affirmative reply, Lockland nodded. The scale armor on his neck made a small scratching sound. He threw his right hand in a small arc and threw the "heart" over. .

Luo Xiu reached out to take it, glanced at Lockland, put it into his storage bracelet, and then said:

"Okay, Magic Knight - maybe I should change my name. What do you call me?"

"...Loss, just call me Loss." "Okay, Lose." Luo Xiu nodded, with a deep light flashing in his eyes, and said calmly:

"So, let's talk about your tactics. Tell us how you want to 'kill' the dragon in the sky."

"..."

......

——Poof! Thomas held the sword with both hands and plunged the curled blade into the chest of the Dark Army soldier on the opposite side.

The soldier's face was already filled with a look of fear and despair. The moment Thomas pierced his heart with a sword, Thomas actually saw relief in his eyes.

Thomas couldn't help but be touched, but he didn't hesitate at all. Then he kicked the soldier in front of him over, pulled out the sword blade, rushed forward and wiped his neck with the sword.

The soldier spun around and fell down. His body twitched for a while and then stopped moving. Blood was still pouring out from the two fatal wounds.

Different from purifying those "dead souls", even in this game world, which is completely the same as reality, "killing people" also made Thomas feel a little uncomfortable at first, but he soon Kuai is used to the bloody atmosphere of the battlefield.

This is just a game...Besides, the so-called "war" always involves blood. Even speaking in person, Thomas is fighting "for survival".

After convincing himself in this way, Thomas felt less uncomfortable. He was also gradually getting used to the feeling of killing.

And just now it was the twenty-third enemy he had dealt with - compared to the "deformed undead", these ordinary soldiers who had not become extraordinary were much easier to kill.

Earlier, he also followed a team battle to kill three berserk soldiers using corpse pile tactics. After that, he followed a team of players to challenge a wave of "black people" with three fates. "Tooth" - ended up being killed in an instant, wasting one resurrection time.

Unlike the players who had already joined the City Guards, Thomas has never been able to trigger the [Limited Time Mission] again. As a result, his interest in killing enemy soldiers became less and less interesting. After that, he only focused on attacking incoming enemies. The enemy took action and began to act as a war reporter.

It’s more interesting to watch other people bleed into rivers... Thomas thought this, and his body involuntarily came to the vicinity where the two "saints" of the church were fighting.

He saw "Holy Deacon" Hubert hit "Executioner" Koros away with a hammer. After that, Hubert chased him in the direction where Koros was sent flying by the hammer, and then gave him A hammer was added to the chest.

Visibly to the naked eye, a bright red line of blood shot out of Koros's body that flew into an afterimage. In the process of being smashed away, Koros seemed to have made some movement. His body was very He was quickly enveloped in thick black mist, and fled the battlefield the moment Hubert's next hammer hit him.

"He escaped, that executioner..." Thomas sighed a little.

On the other side, he saw the demon puppets summoned by the "Hidden Elder" surrounding the church's chief priest, Luo Xiu, and saw bursts of bright light erupting around Luo Xiu's body, knocking all the demon puppets away.

Afterwards, a two-headed dragon and another ferocious-looking dragon-armored knight were summoned from the spar pendant by Babelun. Thomas’s detection results on their panels were all yes? ? ? , only their names can be seen.

"Fengtian... what kind of dragon? And the 'Dragon Hunter'... uh, there are a bunch of question marks behind it..."

He didn't see the "Dragon Hunter" Lockland The complete name, because "Rockland" has been subjectively hidden, Thomas's "perception" is not enough to see through it.

But this is not critical. Thomas then saw the two newly summoned golems by Babron chasing Luo Xiu to the edge of the battlefield.

On the battlefield where Luo Xiu was, a semicircular ball screen suddenly appeared.

Looking from the outside, it is a completely solid color, reflecting completely black or pure white depending on the angle, just like a giant egg growing on the flat ground.

The "Dragon Hunter Knight" was blocked within the dome screen, while the "Scorching Sky Dragon" was blocked from the outside.

Nothing inside can be seen from the outside. The giant bronze dragon kept spitting ice and fire on the surface of the dome, but it was unable to break this cage.

About three minutes later, the surface of the "dome" gradually dissolved, and the scene inside was "revealed" again.

——Boom! boom! boom! Several huge vibrations continued to be heard, accompanied by brilliant golden light that continued to diffuse and escape from the center of the broken "dome", like a sun emerging from the flat ground.

The chief priest of the church, Luo Xiu Carlos, is continuously releasing the holy spell filled with light pollution and continuously attacking the "Dragon Hunter"!

Under Luo Xiu's high-density attacks, the "Dragon Hunter Knight" kept dodging in the gaps, and sometimes swung his sword at Luo Xiu to chop off one or two counterattacks, but Luo Xiu was struck by them. Block with the holy magic of defense.

They are still fighting fiercely... but our officiant seems to be stronger. The bronze dragon in mid-air is still spitting ice and fire downwards. The joint attack of the two demons is almost the same as that On par with Rossiu Carlos... Thomas thought to himself as he watched the battle remotely.

The giant bronze dragon in mid-air was still breathing. After Luo Xiu Carlos fought with the "Dragon Hunter Knight" for a while, the target of the attack switched to the giant dragon.

Midway, he used long-range holy magic to blast a burst of bronze dragon, breaking up its defense.

The "Dragon Hunter Knight" who lost its opponent also followed closely behind, pursuing relentlessly. The center of the melee between the three parties was getting closer and closer to the direction of the bronze dragon.

He continued to fight like this for about two minutes, and suddenly——

The church’s chief priest, Rossiu Carlos, suddenly raised the magic staff in his hand, and the light on it flickered. Moving, vague cracks suddenly exploded on the bronze dragon's body, and it seemed that it had been seriously injured!

It then stopped flying and landed back on the ground, seemingly trying to crush Rossiu Carlos with its huge size advantage.

As it landed, several dazzling lightsabers appeared around Luo Xiu at the same time, and a dazzling light erupted from his magic staff, in which the power of annihilation continued to condense.

Luo Xiu is not the only one who is "charging up". The "Dragon Hunting Knight" is also holding a dragon hunting sword with both hands. A dangerous scarlet light and a terrifying spiritual aura have appeared on the blade. There are waves of surges in it.

The "Dragon Hunter Knight" aimed in the direction of Luo Xiu, and Luo Xiu aimed at the dragons that were constantly falling in the air. Thomas swallowed, looking forward to the scene where they would zoom in at the same time.

After a short wait, the moment the Burning Sky Dragon finally landed.

——Boom! ! !

Luo Xiu Carlos and the "Dragon Hunter Knight" disappeared at the same time. Then, the two explosive slashes of Yao Jin and Scarlet slashed the two Burning Sky Dragons at the same time. Above the neck!

The golden and scarlet rays of light erupted at the same time. They intertwined and blended together, reflecting two completely different figures——

Luo Xiu had already put on another jet-black weapon. The sickle, together with the brilliant sword from before, cut off the dragon's head on the right side!

The left side of the dragon's head was not spared either - the dragon-hunting broadsword of the "Dragon Hunter Knight" had penetrated deeply into it, and the scarlet air wave had swept across it, and then quickly wrapped around the blade, completely killing it. The dragon head is separated from its body!

Two huge dragon heads rolled to the ground, and the headless dragon body stood for a while, then collapsed like a hill.

“…”

“…Huh?”

Seeing this scene, Thomas scratched his head in confusion.

……

(There will be more at night)
