Chapter 4: The Temptation of the Holy See

Rewind time a little. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As Antoon was moving in the direction of the target with the two girls, Luo Jielinti, who was gradually accustomed to his unusual jumping movement and showed a faint excitement, suddenly proposed.

"Hey, Antoun, I'm going to talk to you about something. How about we all call each other by their first names?"

"I don't have any opinion, but you, master—no, Luo Jielinti, why did you suddenly say that?"

Hearing this question, Luo Jielinti, who was lying on his back, sighed softly.

"It's all because it's not fully summoned, it's not completely summoned. I've already explained this to you before, right? The only way to do this is to help you correct your stance by constantly consuming my personal mana, and a closer connection will make our mana supply more efficient. You understand that, right?"

"Oh, to put it simply, you want to give me a 'demon'?"

“…… That's mostly true, but I always feel that something isn't quite right. ”

"Aha, you're thinking too much, Rogie Linti. ”

After laughing dryly, Antoun felt the state in his body again, and found that although it was only very slight, his strength was indeed recovering at a relatively stable speed. It seems that this is the result of the consumption of Luo Jielinti's own magic power.

In this case, something should be added to the personal attributes.

Thinking of something out of bounds, Antoun made a slight adjustment to the detection magic he had learned, so that a new index was added to the original status bar, between "Level" and "Rank", experience points: 123687/671208, and it was increasing at a rate of 2.5 points per second.

After a little calculation, assuming that this speed is maintained, Antoun can get 216,000 experience points a day through Luo Jielinti's continuous mana supply, and it should not be a big problem to reach level 64 in a few days. And although although you still can't add points after upgrading to one level, the six major attributes should all increase a little naturally.

The future looks bright - after all, he can regain his strength without having to do anything, and in the long run, he will need more experience with each next level, which means that he will not be able to move up a few levels at most. Although I don't know how much the connection between the two will improve the efficiency of mana supply, trying to restore to Sequence 3 or above in this way, that is, about level 100, is equivalent to a fool's dream.

What's more, the assumptions just now are all based on a premise-

"Rogerinti, ask me the question, how long can you keep my mana for restoring strength for a day?"

"If there is a time to fight, it depends on the level of attrition of the battle. But generally speaking, the non-combat schedule can only be supplied for a maximum of 12 hours, and any amount of more will be a burden on my body......"

Sure enough, Antoun was not surprised by Rogerinty's words. However, this means that he must find other ways to obtain mana (experience points) for recovery, such as asking if anyone else wants to sign a contract with him to become a magical girl, and by the way, make up for the magic or something.

Ahem, overthinking.

In any case, it was only after escaping from the Holy See-controlled area that I had time to think about. Back to the point, perhaps from the conversation with Antoun, the sense of crisis was regained, and the excitement subsided, and Luo Jielinti regained the composure of a brilliant magician. Since she could already see the boundaries of the ruins that Antoon had previously created with "Thunder", she instructed Antoon to sense the fluctuations of the surrounding magic in order to prevent a surprise attack from nowhere.

"As you wish. ”

After a short answer, Antoun let go of the perception of the surrounding space, since this is just a small trick to use magic, so whether it is in another world or a parallel world, the method is much the same, the difference is only in the strength of the person who uses the skill.

As a result, in perception, the magic fluctuations fed back directly in front of the movement route were like two bright white dots, one large and one small, appearing on the pitch-black curtain.

To do this, Antoun stopped jumping and fell to the ground. Not far from the rubble is the source of the weaker and relatively close fluctuation. His actions naturally made Luo Jielinti ask for the first time.

"What's wrong? Antoun, did you find anything?"

"Probably, the result of the feedback from the perception just now is that there are at least two obvious magic fluctuations in the circular area with a radius of three kilometers. One of them is right in front of us. ”

"But I don't feel anything...... Ah, it can't be one of the common magic tricks of the Holy See, the 'hidden sanctuary'. ”

The new thing revealed in Luo Jielinti's self-questioning and self-answering suddenly aroused Antoun's curiosity.

"What is that?"

"All you need to know is a magic trick that masks your breath at the moment, and the rest is a bit of a hassle to explain. And didn't you just say that there are two more obvious fluctuations, and it's better to solve one of them now so that nothing goes wrong. ”

"That's right. ”

Putting aside his curiosity about the unknown for a moment, Antoun quickly compressed the extended magical perception field to within thirty meters of his body. Compared to the vague feeling that he had previously fed back from a large area, the complete domination of an area of only thirty meters allowed Antoun to regain a little bit of the feeling he had when he was a demon god.

Due to the improved accuracy of his perception, he could easily get different information when he looked back at the source of the magic wave in front of him, and even the figure of the magic user hidden in it was sketched a vague outline.

"Well, two of you...... A little warning. ”

As he muttered to himself, he unleashed his momentum and applied it to the two people under the ruins at the same time, and then mobilized his magic power to announce to each other.

"You two, your hiding place has been exposed, do you want me to invite you two out, or—"

Before he finished speaking, he felt surprised in his heart. It wasn't that a short-haired woman suddenly shook the rubble around her from under the rubble, and her hands and feet burst out with strong magical fluctuations and rushed towards him, but that the other person who seemed to be forced to stop in place by his momentum broke his suppression in an instant.

No, most creatures are affected by his momentum, and that doesn't change even when he's weakened. But why is this happening now? Unless—

Before the short thought was over, the short-haired woman had already arrived in front of Antoun. Because he sensed in advance that her strength was only about the same level as Luo Jielinti, that is, Sequence Nine, Antoun just casually raised his foot to block her without changing his posture of holding Artina, and then stepped the ground.

In terms of values, it is more than 500, and in terms of level, it is not false that it is a B-level power. The shock wave caused by Antun's random step immediately knocked the woman more than ten meters away, and also sent some gravel attacks, which directly made her unconscious, who was originally injured.

Having dismissed the attacker, Antoun immediately looked at the other man, who had not yet moved, and he was even more surprised. I couldn't help but blurt out my debut.

"Hey, it's a girl?"

Obviously, the other party had carefully looked at his appearance just now, and a complicated look appeared on his face at this time. It's just that the first sentence of the girl who bit her lips, with tears in the corners of her eyes and a look of resentment, almost made Antun stage the classic "flat fall" scene in many works.

"That's bad......"

Hearing this, Antoun couldn't help but complain in his heart. What do I rely on to develop on this, can I use the word bad to describe me?!

However, after thinking about it, considering the posture of holding and carrying a beautiful girl on his back now, he couldn't help but shed a cold sweat.

It's over, people like those who have this kind of setting are generally burned to death in the work. No, I've got to figure out a way!

As a result, before Antoun could come up with the brilliant idea of clearing the FLAG, Luo Jielinti on his back first expressed his dissatisfaction.

“…… Antun, although you are asked to call me by my name for the sake of the bigger picture, there is one thing you should keep in mind: you are my servant of Rogie von Hosen. ”

The murderous aura revealed by the words made Antoun tremble, and the implication was obvious. Knowing that he was at a loss and could not find an excuse to divert the subject, he had to secretly complain, and the other source of magic fluctuations that he sensed before praying in his heart could approach him.

I don't know if the long-lost prayer worked, just after the embarrassing scene lasted for more than ten seconds, Luo Jielinti suddenly asked in a normal tone.

"Antun, do you feel anything?"

"Huh?"

After a moment's pause, he let go of the magic perception field again, and then his heart couldn't help but be filled with joy.

Praise the enemy, thank you so much for coming to a radius of a kilometer so quickly!

Of course, this kind of mental activity of his Luo Jielinti naturally couldn't feel it, in order not to reveal his thoughts, he just answered in the shortest words.

"The enemy is coming, ready to fight. ”

In fact, even if Antun didn't say anything, in the next moment, they could already confirm the enemy's figure in the horizon.

"It's the Holy See's 'Iron Divine Soldier'!"

"What the hell is this worldview?!"

Listening to Luo Jielinti's call to the enemy, coupled with the falcon-like vision, he saw from a distance that appeared from a distance with the same jumping and moving method as before, with a humanoid appearance, but it was a mechanical creation with a metallic luster at the joints and some parts, Antoun finally couldn't help but complain.

It seems that he is gradually getting used to the premise that Antoun will say some strange words from time to time, and probably because of the current enemy, Luo Jielinti has no extra words, and directly begins to explain the creation in front of him to him.

"A person's talent for magic is basically fixed, and the highest achievements that can be achieved in the future are also limited by the body. For now, the 'apex of humanity' known in history is a magician who briefly reached Sequence 4 more than 300 years ago. With the development of society......"

"With the development of society, the progress of human beings, the birth of science and technology has provided a new path for magicians?"

Luo Jielinti, who was interrupted halfway, glanced at him with some surprise before nodding.

"Well, the magicians are trying to combine the power of science to enhance their bodies, at least to the extent that they can compete with the 'Heroic Spirits'. However, in the end, without exception, they all failed, and it seems that although the two are slightly related, they are not good in nature. ”

"And what's going on with this thing in front of you?"

"Because what ordinary magicians can't do, it is possible to have the three identities of 'magician', 'puppeteer' and 'heroic spirit'. ”

After imagining the scene depicted in Rogerinti's words, Antoun's vision of a fantasy world was instantly shattered, but he reacted immediately.

"So this thing is actually just a ** puppet in control? But why do you seem to be very nervous, if you are a normal puppet, no matter how strong it is, it ......"

"No, it's different. As I said earlier, the person who made this thing was a 'magician', but the person who used it was the Holy See. As you can see, it's now transformed to look like a robot, and that's not what the 'magician' would do to himself. ”

"I still don't understand the difference. ”

"The person who controls is different, the way of action is different. We had intercepted a batch of documents from the Holy See, and it was from them that we learned of its existence, and that the Holy See was operating it by temporarily transferring someone's consciousness into the body of the Iron Warrior. In addition, the document also records terms such as 'first machine', 'qualified person', and 'synchronization rate' in the relevant materials of this puppet——"

"Since just now, the slots have suddenly increased, but people don't know how to complain?!"

always felt that if Luo Jielinti continued to speak, the painting style of the whole thing would change, so Antun hurriedly took the initiative to speak.

"Let me summarize, that is to say, now we are facing a powerful puppet that is transformed from the proud work of a great 'magician' and the black technology of the Holy See, and at the same time is controlled by a master of the Holy See?"

"That's right, to put it simply. ”

"If only you had said that...... Speaking of which, it seems that someone has been disconnected for a long time? Forget it, let's ignore it for now. ”

Having finally avoided the most dangerous unfolding, Antoun breathed a sigh of relief, then held his breath and adjusted his whole body, staring at the enemy who was already in front of the two of them.

As a result, unlike what was expected, the enemy fell to the ground a hundred meters away from them. Noticing that the other party did not smash even a piece of building debris when he touched the ground, Antoun couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, it seemed that the other party was really a master.

However, his attention was immediately drawn to the two-meter-long giant sword that the puppet was carrying diagonally. Different from the puppet body that embodies the sense of technology, this giant sword can be described as a completely fantasy style weapon, the whole body is as black as ink, and the double blade that has not been opened, like the shape of the semicircular front end, immediately made Antoun's mind eight words "heavy sword without edge, great ingenuity does not work".

I didn't expect that even the things from my hometown came out.

In this regard, Antoun didn't bother to complain more, anyway, even if this weapon is really called the Darkiron Heavy Sword, it still belongs to the category of fantasy stories. More than this, he was more curious about the identity of the powerful enemy in front of him.

"What's the matter, Luo Jielinti, can you know the identity of the controller? But presumably with such a flamboyant weapon, the other party has no intention of hiding his identity. ”

“…… Ahh In this way, the Holy See really thinks of me, and from the very beginning, he had expected that I would be able to summon the 'Heroic Spirit', and in order to test it, even such a big man was invited out. But in the end, it should be doubtful or thankful, the other party didn't directly ask the 'Heroic Spirit' to come over......"

"Oh, don't care about the last thing, it means that this guy is probably the strongest existence in the neighborhood, as long as we fight him off, we can basically get out?"

Now that he has weakened and his strength has become a gap with the other party, Antun has a fighting spirit in his heart. This is the first time he has felt this way since he became a demon god, except when he killed the gods.

It seems that I am gradually becoming more and more human.

At the same time as self-deprecation, Luo Jielinti's words to reveal the identity of the other party finally reached his ears.

"The ontological strength is Sequence Five, the leader of the Ash Knights, also known as the 'Dragon Slayer', Gus Freeman—if you can repel him, then we are probably not far from getting out successfully. ”
