Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 65 The Grim Reaper Schoolboy is also a disaster
Scourge, walking trouble, doom-maker......
Fang Qiuling had various ominous titles on his body. In the game, it is estimated to be a series of negative debuffs.
- Gold drop rate decreased
- Item drop rate decreased
- Critical strike chance decreased
- Hit rate drops
All probability-related values, i.e. lucky values, are all reduced. It's not a "crow's mouth" that can be described. If Old Tom knew that there was an existence in this world known as the "Death Schoolboy", he would definitely equate Fang Qiuling with that little ghost.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Lily looked curious.
"That's what it looks like......"
Fang Qiuling described the process of the matter, and Old Tom added an explanation on the side.
"There's a problem, there's definitely something wrong with this Charlton monk!" After hearing this, Lily immediately agreed with Old Tom's opinion, "But you guys are really a disaster star!" Everywhere you go, you get into trouble. β
Fang Qiuling glared at Lily angrily: "Now is not the time to discuss whether I am a disaster star or not!" Your focus is weird, uh! β
"Hmph, weird is better than you guy. I can see that you guys are going to cause trouble wherever you go. Although you didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, it has nothing to do with you! β
"Miss Lily, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! I'm a good guy who does my duty, and I never do anything messy. β
"Cut, a good man who is honest and responsible will go out and be an adventurer? There are no good people among the adventurers! β
"I've always been law-abiding when I'm so old. It can be a bit difficult to say 'nice guy', but I definitely have a clear conscience! I can swear to Notos too! β
"Humph! Believe in you to have a ghost! β
"Then I swear to Ms. Firehair. You can use the sΓ©ance directly to confirm with the Firehair Lady. β
"Huh? Is it your brain that is broken, or my brain, that uses sΓ©ance for such a trivial matter? β
Fang Qiuling and Lily unconsciously began to argue, while Lady Moghley and the other two paladins frowned deeply.
An adventurer obtains a sacrificial vessel of an old god. For safety and other reasons, the adventurer gave the sacrificial vessel to the ascetics of the temple of Notos. It is a very strange thing in itself that the ascetic who served Notos, the god of wind, did not seal the sacrificial vessel and did not ask the gods to punish it to destroy it.
Notos, the god of wind, ranks relatively high in the camp of good gods, but he is not the most representative of the gods in the camp of good gods. The temple of Notos was no small in size, as was its rank among the gods. However, compared to the Temple of the God of War and the Temple of Fire, there is still a certain distance. There are certain systems within the temple for paladins, priests, and ascetics, but the system is not perfect, and most of the content is not written in the canon. It belongs to the "rule of man", and self-restraint is carried out with personal moral cultivation.
But even if it is man's rule, Brother Charlton's behavior has crossed the line.
The sacrificial vessels of the ancient gods are contraband in the eyes of the present gods. If the present god is compared to the king of the current dynasty, then the priests, paladins, and ascetics are the courtiers, generals, and soldiers under the command of the current king. The sacrificial vessels of the ancient gods are similar to those of the princes and princesses of the previous dynasties. The official of the current dynasty discovered the remnants of the previous dynasty, and this official not only did not report the remnants of the previous dynasty to the king, but hid the remnants. What do you want to do, official?
Lily is not a believer in Notos, and her attitude in this matter is impartial and matter-of-fact. Lady Mogre and the other two paladins belonged to the Temple of Notos, the God of Winds, and they first thought from the side of the temple.
A "civilian" accused a highly respected "retired official" of harboring "the remnants of the former dynasty with bad intentions." As colleagues of "retired officials", their first reaction is not to question the "retired official", but to suspect the "civilian" who initiated the accusation, what evidence does this "civilian" have to accuse a respected "retired official"?
This "commoner" is a small nobleman, who has not been in the misty lake for a long time, and belongs to an outsider of "unknown origin". Recently, this guy has been running around, and not long ago he went around the "black market", and obviously bought something, probably contraband. In addition, this guy claimed to be a scholar, and he knew a lot and knew a lot of things, so the local temple in Misty Lake had already labeled Fang Qiuling as "suspicious" and "closely monitored".
What is the "black market"? Who are the people who go to the "black market"? What can I buy on the "black market"?
As long as you think about these three questions, you can come to the conclusion that the nobleman in front of you is not a good thing. Going to the "black market" is also definitely for "contraband". You can't go wrong with writing this guy's name directly on the "blacklist"! βοΌ
But this nobleman who is on the "blacklist", he has a guarantor. This guarantor has lived in the Misty Lake for many years, and it is estimated that the paladins present are not even born, and the guarantor has already lived in the Misty Lake. Compared with the high morality of the "retired official", this guarantor is full of peach and plum all over the world, and he is not inferior. Moreover, this guarantor is also enthusiastic about various "public welfare activities", and from time to time fights against the green monsters that are rampant in the Misty Lake area, making a great contribution to regional stability. What he said was sometimes used as a reference even by the lord Count Diharus.
Things seem to be getting a little complicated.
"Mr. Norn, I need to make sure again."
Lady Moghley said in a solemn voice, very serious. As she spoke, one of the two male paladins stretched out his hand and pointed at Fang Qiuling's body, and a pure white light shot out, and Fang Qiuling's body was immediately covered with a layer of brilliance.
- Lie identification.
"You gave a dagger to Brother Charlton, who told you that it was a 'weapon of evil, and that it should be destroyed at once, and that it should not be left to the mortal world.'"
"Yes. That's right. It wasn't Fang Qiuling who answered, but Old Tom, "I was next to me at the time." I heard it with my own ears. β
Fang Qiuling pulled Old Tom and motioned him not to speak. The lie identification was released on Fang Qiuling, and he would not react to Old Tom's words.
"Lady Moghray, I describe to you the circumstances of delivering to Brother Charlton the dagger that I suspect to be a sacrificial vessel of the Old Gods. The grip of the dagger had an obscure dark red pattern, and there was a feeling of blood flowing. The protective part of the dagger has a very strange shape, and it looks like it has a very strange chilling feeling. I gave the dagger to Brother Charlton, to avoid trouble, because it had been in my hands for a few days, and I had been running around for too much time to go to the temple, so I said that the dagger had been found from the ghoul I had just killed. Brother Charlton was very excited when he took the dagger, and then said that he would return to the temple immediately, because the dagger was 'an evil sacrificial weapon, and it should be destroyed at once, and it should not be left in the mortal world'. Brother Charlton then departed, along with the two priests who had come with him. β
Fang Qiuling spoke very slowly, and as detailed as possible. The language used is also as complex as possible to prove that he did not use the discourse technique of "one-sided truth". Throughout the narration, the brilliance shrouded Fang Qiuling's body was always white, without the slightest sign of change. This shows that his description at the moment is all true and not lying.
Old Tom also supported Fang Qiuling again: "Yes, I can prove it." Mr. Norn is speaking from my own experience. β
For Old Tom, the night of the battle with the Stitch Monster was too impressive. Whether it was the shadow of the ghoul leaping off the wall, or the sight of the stitcher dragging its heavy footsteps slowly, or the exhilarating drenching of the blow of the light on the undead like a hot knife cutting cream, Tom Sr. remembered it vividly.
The male paladin pointed again, and Old Tom also had a white glow that was recognized by lies.
Fang Qiuling pouted, and then made a "please" gesture. Since Old Tom has also hung up on the identification of lies, then let him just tell it.
But the paladins are really brainless, a group of guys who don't understand the world. It is certainly not wrong to use spells to identify lies or something, but to use spells in front of oneself without shying away from it is in itself a form of distrust. When you meet a grumpy guy, it's not a strange thing to fight directly.
"At that time, I asked Mr. Norn where this strange dagger came from. Mr. Norn said he had killed an orc wanted man and got it from him. That orc seems to be called ......"
Fang Qiuling added on the side, "'Nine fingers', this orc only has nine fingers. β
"Yes, Nine-Fingered. This guy is elusive, and he has several names on his hands. Oh, yes, I remembered. Mr. Norn also said that the dagger was probably 'an evil sacrificial vessel to summon the souls of the dead'. β
Old Tom's brilliance was always white. Xiran obviously said the truth.
The paladin who had used the Lie Recognition asked, "Mr. Norn, how do you know that the dagger you have repeatedly mentioned is an 'evil sacrificial vessel that summons the souls of the dead'?" β
Fang Qiuling shrugged his shoulders and moved out of the reason that he had already used once: "I am a scholar. β
The same words may not convince the elves, but they are undoubtedly enough to convince humans. But just this sentence is not very good, and there should be something to explain something.
"I know a lot about the old gods, especially the evil old gods, and I know a little bit about their sacrificial vessels and teachings. It's not for anything else, it's just that when you go out, you can recognize it as soon as you meet it, and then you can stay as far away as possible and find an opportunity to report it to the temple. β
Elune is a world of swords and sorcery. In the world of swords and sorcery, the best equipment, known as "artifacts," is generally made by gods. Especially the top-level artifacts that contain the power of the law, these top-level artifacts contain the divine power of the gods, and they belong to unscrupulous sacrificial weapons.
It is not unheard of that the story of accidentally getting it, but not knowing something, and then leading to disaster. The sacrificial vessel of the good god is still good, and it was inadvertently obtained, that is, the holder himself is squeezed dry, and then the people who have contact with him are also squeezed dry. If it is a sacrifice vessel of an evil god, then a large-scale blood sacrifice is a must, and it will also bring about large-scale events such as the invasion of the abyss and the descent of demons.
After the player character reaches the Silver tier, they will inevitably receive a quest called "The Lost Necklace". The "Lost Necklace" quest is an extremely long quest chain divided into more than 30 sections. This quest chain tells the story of an ordinary village girl who inadvertently obtains the Shattered Demon Crystal Necklace.
The Shattered Crystal is a spar on the sacrificial vessel of an evil god in ancient times, and is said to have the power to control the mind. Even though the hedron itself has been shattered, its fragments are all over the Elune crystal wall, and it still has considerable power, even a small fragment of it has the power to play with people's hearts.
After obtaining the Shattered Demon Crystal Necklace, the village girl has an incomparably powerful psychic power, a power that is not under her control and distorts the village where she is located. The villagers turned into demons because of the constant desire in their hearts, fighting and devouring each other. The village eventually became a paradise for demons. The last thing the player has to do is to destroy all the demons in the village and destroy the shattered crystals.
The Shattered Demon Crystal is not willing to be destroyed, and after being sent to the temple by the player, it will turn into one of the artifacts stored in the temple, trying to confuse the pearls. The player needs to discern the authenticity of the artifact and destroy it. If the player already owns the artifact at this time, then they will accidentally destroy their artifact. Therefore, players are required to have sufficient recognition ability and sufficient identification ability.
Once this quest is completed, destroying the Shattered Shard becomes a repeatable payment task. Every time you turn in the broken magic crystal, it is like "picking up a leak in the antique market". If the Shattered Demon Crystal is identified, the reward will undoubtedly be much greater; If it is identified as not a broken magic crystal, but a sacrificial vessel of the ancient gods, then the reward will be reduced by half, and it will have to be sent to the temple to "receive the reward"; If it is identified, it is not, congratulations, you are busy in vain!
- If it weren't for the fact that the reward for identifying the Broken Demon Crystal was really rich, the ghost would be willing to do this task!
Fang Qiuling had two game characters, and the task chain of "Lost Necklace" had been done twice, and countless broken magic crystals had been handed in. Whether it is a shattered demon crystal or an ancient god sacrifice weapon, you can basically be sure of it after a few glances at it, and Fang Qiuling has a lot of experience in this regard.
The light of lie recognition was still white, which meant that Fang Qiuling was not lying. The expressions of the three Notos became even more solemn.
Another male paladin asked, "Mr. Norn, Mr. Hadna, can anyone else testify besides the two?" You gave the dagger to Brother Charlton, and did anyone else see it besides you, Mr. Hadner, and Brother Charlton himself? β
"Yes," Fang Qiuling replied in the affirmative without hesitation, "The two priests who came with Brother Charlton also saw it. But they ......"
"They were all dead, that night. After Mr. Norn handed in the dagger, the three of them returned to the temple together, and on the way back they were attacked by ghouls. "Brother Charlton is indeed suspicious. β
