Chapter 253: Empty Shell
(System: Approved by the World Tree Scepter, congratulations to the host for completing the side quest "World Power", the host has obtained the Brilliant Artifact World Tree Scepter, and has obtained the title "Sage Candidate".) οΌ
So that's it, the staff was obviously started by myself, and you have such a sore face like "this is given to you by the system", what kind of cheeky Cheng is it?
(Sage Candidate, +20% Cultivation Speed for Law and Knowledge Skills, +15% for Mana Regeneration, +10% for Cast Speed.) οΌ
So that's it, the sage is the sage, what do you want to do with an alternate? Does it mean that I am still in Secondary 2 and have not graduated? Sue you, even if you are the system, I will never care about such an insult!
Well, the next goal is to try to get rid of that "alternate", otherwise it really goes against the persistent aesthetic of our generation of perfectionist RPG players.
Lu Xi, who has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, was still gritting his teeth, and in the next second, the scene in his eyes once again changed to the empty and cold stone room.
"What just happened?"
"It's nothing! It's just that I saw Lu Xi in a daze. Artoria replied, with a concerned face, "Well, Lu Xi is not too tired, do you want to rest first?" I've got some honey snacks here that I brought with me from Songadri. β
"Don't worry, Your Highness Artoria, he's just in a daze, it's not once or twice." Sehireu Road.
"And how long did I stay in the air?" Lu Xi asked.
"There's still a minute or two." Tempest replied with a smile. She looked at Lu Xi, and then at the white and clear "white wax pole" in the other party's hand, showing a helpless expression, and slowly shook her head: "Look at your complacent appearance." I guess Nanoka and Fett don't have a chance at all, right? β
Where do you see "complacent"? Shouldn't it be a typical face ache through and through? I obviously haven't recovered from the evaluation of "mother and daughter" yet.
"From today onwards, the World Tree Scepter will be surnamed Lu...... Belch. It's Berencaster! Lu Xi raised the staff in his hand above his head and said triumphantly.
As if in response to Lu Xi's announcement. The bright sun-like light flashed on the pure white staff, and the bright but not dazzling light was warm and dazzling, as if it directly brought everyone from the cold and dark stone room to the brightly lit banquet hall.
"Well, that's the effect of the Brilliant Artifact when it resonates." Artoria nodded, her delicate face full of relief and pride. She is also the host of the Brilliant Artifact, and she is the most vocal of all the people here. She is also really proud and happy for Lu Xi, and her expression is similar to that of the little wife who learned that her husband had just been promoted and raised and won the corporate employee award, although she herself was completely unaware of this.
Also with Artoria are Lim and Sehiru, but Lim naturally has no expression on his face. Only those big emerald eyes had been staring at the World Tree Scepter, as if they were very curious. Tsundere's former student union president, Miss Tsundere, just pouted her lips very arrogantly and said in a low voice: "Tsk, it's very good to get the artifact!" But we're going to be out of luck every time you get carried away, so please be a little more restrained this time. β
As for the MT Warhammer Lori, who had been looking at Lu Xi very unpleasantly, she simply stared at Lu Xi viciously with an unbelievable gaze: "What, even this guy can be recognized by a brilliant artifact?" The goddess must be asleep, or something is wrong in this world. β
"I'm sorry, Nanorka, Fett. Looks like this kid still likes me...... Then you're welcome. Do you have any comments? Blast? β
"Since it's the World Tree's own choice, I don't have much more to say." At this point, no matter how distressed he was, the wind seemed to accept his fate. Instead, he showed a relieved smile: "Nanoka, Fit, what do you think?" β
"The artifact is so easy to recognize the master, although I always feel that there must be something strange afterwards. But a promise is a promise! I don't have a problem with that. Fett said with a smile.
"Uh-huh, one might even say. The artifact finally recognized Lu Xi as the master, and I was relieved. Nanoka nodded.
"Ugh. Why? Lu Xi couldn't help asking.
"Because in this way, with the magical Lu Xi, the strength should be able to get closer to us, and there will be no need to keep your hands when we fight in the future!" Nanoka tilted her head and said with a cute expression and a natural attitude.
ββ¦β¦ If you can, I hope none of that ever happens. "Natural black, what kind of trouble do you want!
"Hehe, Nanoka is just joking. The grievances between the teacher and the teacher, in fact, I don't pay attention to it at all, as long as Lu Xi doesn't deliberately make trouble, the possibility of swords facing each other should not be great. Tempest smiled.
"I hope so...... But what if Uncle Shi and his old man insist on forcing you to do it? β
"It's impossible. Teachers don't want us to do things we don't want to do. Fett slowly shook his head with a demure and healing smile, "In addition, let you know that the entire mercenary under the Implication Legion, real estate, chamber of commerce, and shop pΓΉ are basically under the control of the three of us now, and the teacher is no longer in charge, so you don't have to worry that he will send others to trouble you." β
What does it mean to be left alone? It's clearly turned into a mascot in the air. It turns out that the blackest person will always be the one who looks the most virgin? It's scary, it's scary......
Lu Xi felt that if this kind of conversation continued, the image of these three soft girls in his mind would definitely collapse and distort, so he immediately changed the topic: "Okay, now that the artifact is in hand, Fitt and Nanoka have also found it...... Next, are we going to chase the demon dragon? Or do you want to free Miss Hurley? Or do you want to find out who are behind the scenes and beat them so that they don't even know their friends? β
"The demon dragon can't run far after being so badly injured, and I've also left a spiritual sign on it, so it's okay to take your time. As for the group of people behind the scenes. Well, in terms of the abyss lord's habit of seeking advantage and avoiding harm. There's no way we're going to wait for us to get into trouble with it, maybe we've already run away by this time. β
Speaking of which. Isn't the purpose of the demons to release the soul of the Bloodthirsty King? What happened to the results? Artoria couldn't help but ask. Among the people present, she was, after all, the most responsible one.
"I don't know...... When I took off the World Tree Scepter, I could indeed feel that the flow of the magic torrent in this dungeon had begun to be disordered, and it was only a matter of time before the formation collapsed, and those ancient puppets of the perpetual motion machine in the ruins would soon lose their ability to act due to the loss of energy supply. But I didn't feel anything else. Speaking of this, Hurricane couldn't help but show a distressed expression: "Since it's the soul of the demon god, even if it doesn't have a substance. It must also be an extremely surging and terrifying existence, and once it comes out, it is impossible for me not to perceive it...... But this is the case now, as if this huge sealing circle is an empty shell sealed at all. β
"Empty shells? How is this possible? The people present let out a cohesive exclamation.
Lu Xi pondered for a moment, and couldn't help frowning tightly: "The safe hidden in the bank vault has a twentieth generation lock plus a laser and infrared alarm, plus a reinforced company armed to the teeth, but there is nothing inside...... What the hell is this kidding you? β
"I don't fully understand what you're saying, but I probably understand what I mean...... In fact. That's what it means, it should be said, it's just kidding us! Tempest corrected, "But, I don't think so. So many legendary old devils will be idle enough to set up such a big game, just to amuse us. β
Lu Xi doesn't think so either. But even if the demonic aura behind this matter is getting heavier and heavier, they are still like seeing flowers in the fog. But I couldn't find even the slightest clue to the truth.
"Kitty, are you sure this circle is used to seal the soul of the demon god?" Lu Xi asked in his heart. All he had to do was hold his staff now. You can talk to Lori through guΓ² and talk to Lori.
"Hmm...... I'm not sure about this. Lori said cautiously: "I just remember that this dungeon, the circle and all the mechanisms in it were designed by Lord Laxis himself, and then I was used as the central hub of the circle, and I really don't remember the rest." β
Tsk, it's a useless instrument. Lu Xi pursed his lips.
"Ahh People, people are very powerful! Very, very powerful! β
Lu Xi could imagine that although the weak Lori was in tears, she was also trying to hold her chest up and raise her head to make a "I'm strong" look, and suddenly felt a lot better, and when she saw the sad face on the wind's face, she comforted: "Forget it, it's going to rain anyway, and my mother is going to get married, so let him go." We've broken the seal, and it's a good thing if it's an empty shell inside, but if not, at most it's the Demon God's soul getting out of trouble. Aren't we mentally prepared for this? β
Hurricane nodded abruptly, revealing a reluctant smile: "That's true, it's that I'm too persistent." β
"All in all, everyone's goal has been achieved, and it's a happyend, well, congratulations to Coca-Cola, we should celebrate."
"It's not the end yet, even if it's a celebration, we'll have to wait and talk." Hurricane looked at the white ghost guide who had been standing beside him, "Don't forget, we made a promise to Miss Hurley. Whoever gets the World Tree Scepter has the obligation to liberate these poor people. β
The strongest male warrior in the Hurley tribe had not spoken, of course, with his IQ that was only a little stronger than that of the beast, Lu Xi really couldn't interject in their conversation, but even so, he was staring at Lu Xi with eager and pleading eyes, and the World Tree Scepter in Lu Xi's hand, as if he saw a dying man who had been hungry for three days suddenly saw a whole table full of Manchu and Han people.
"Nature will not be forgotten." Lu hoped for the white ghost with bright eyes, and his gaze was so warm that he could light firewood that he couldn't help but shudder: "So, let's go back to Miss Hurley's town first...... But how do we go about it? β
Lu Xi looked at the passage where everyone came, which was also the passage where the demon dragon Osha escaped. After the demonic blasting and engineering work, plus the headless collision of the demon dragon, the narrow stone wall has already collapsed, and it would be good to leave a few vents, not to mention the passage that allows people to pass through guΓ².
"Looking at this, I'm afraid it will take three or four days to dig out."
"It's okay, I've put space signs in town. Luckily, it's not that far from the town, and we can go back to the dimensional gate. β
ββ¦β¦ Blast, suddenly found that being your comrade-in-arms is too worry-free. Hopefully there will always be such opportunities in the future. β
"Oh, actually, I feel the same way. Lu Xi might as well seriously consider resigning and coming to work with me, I will leave you the position of deputy leader of the legion and general manager of the Chamber of Commerce. β
ββ¦β¦ I'll wait until I'll think about it for two or three years. (To be continued......)
