Chapter 99: The Purpose of the Great Hunt
Lao Jinli didn't tell Luo Ning and the others about his plans, but only put the gold token called "Dragon Head Golden Order" in Luo Ning's palm: "From now on, if you need help, take it to the branch presidents of the Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce." For all the branch presidents of the Longshou Chamber of Commerce, seeing the order is like seeing me!"
Luo Ning took the gold medal with both hands, but the first thing that came to mind was not himself: "Lena said that what bullshit church might imprison Wendy." As long as your chamber of commerce can help me then, I will be content!"
Old Jinli didn't know Wendy's origin, but she was an ordinary girl who violated the church's ban, and smiled happily: "You must do your best!"
The group chatted a few more words, and after the servant had served a few glasses of wine, they drank a few glasses before leaving. It's just that Lina's master and servant stopped immediately as soon as they took a few steps, and turned to look at Luo Ning's back.
"Magic Bell, do you like him, and if I want you to leave me and go to him, will you say yes?"
The magic bell first blushed, and then grabbed Lena's cuffs with a frightened expression: "No, Your Royal Highness ......Princess!
Lina held her hand instead, and her hand was soft and cold: "Don't be afraid, I don't blame you, and I don't plan to tie you up all the time." ”
"No, I've been by the princess's side since I knew it. I am the princess's sword, the princess's private belongings. I will never, and I will never leave the princess!"
Lina put her other hand through the wide hood and stroked the Magic Bell's cheek, wiping away two lines of tears from her face, but her eyes began to redden: "Silly girl, I have never used you as a tool since I was a child. In my heart, you have always been the most trustworthy partner. ”
"Then I can't leave!" Ronin him, he doesn't want to go with us! If I leave the princess again......"
"It's not you who left me, it's me who left you!" Princess Lena smiled sadly: "When I was born fifteen years ago, my mother invited the great astrologer Promi and Mr. Zhang from Dongxian Island to predict my fate at the same time. Master Promi said that I would die in a sea of golden fire, and Mr. Zhang read a similar fate from the tortoise shell, saying that I would only live for twenty years at most! But that condition may be absurd, close to nothing! I ......."
The magic bell hugged Lina: "No! Her Royal Highness the princess will definitely live a long life! As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to find the turning point that Mr. Zhang said! And me! As long as the princess is alive, I won't go anywhere! Luo Ning can't either, no one can drive me away!"
Lena gently broke away from the magic bell, went around to a no-man's alley, and silently walked in the direction of the Goddess Palace. The moonlight stretched her two figures until they disappeared around the corner of the street.
In the next two months, as if he had known that Luo Ning had something to do, neither Morrowind Academy nor the black market had ever looked for Luo Ning again. It wasn't until this morning that Luo Ning finished building the equipment at hand that he received Jing Lie's new order. Luo Ning came to the center of the Morrowind Academy according to his order, but he heard Jing Lie laugh and said, "Brother Luo Ning, a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Good news, of course. As for the other bad news, let me know when it turns out to be good news, thank you!"
"Whimsical!" Jing Lie complained coldly, and then announced as Luo Ning wished: "The good news is: based on your previous performance, Lord Dean has decided to revise your punishment!"
"You'd better not tell me I've done it all in vain!, or I'll really jump up and blow that liar's old man's head!"
Jing Lie stretched out two fingers with a serious face: "Don't worry, if you dare to do that, I will kick your balls first, two!"
Seeing that Luo Ning was speechless, he continued: "The dean said that as long as you complete the last task, this punishment will be over!"
Luo Ning raised his arms and shouted lifelessly, "Yay! Long live Dean Flammel, I love you!"
"There's no sincerity, it's time to fight!" Jing Lie commented pointedly, "And don't rejoice too soon! ”
"Just let the horse come! Lao Tzu is not false, you are!" Luo Ning seemed to have found a way to deal with Jing Lie's ice cube face, and the other party's eyebrows jumped when he choked on a word.
"Listen, listen, come with me today to select the hares for this great hunt, and then release them into the hunting grounds!"
"Huh, pick a rabbit?" Luo Ning didn't expect Jing Lie to say such a wish after satisfying his appetite... Fresh and refined!
Jing Lie pondered for a moment, then nodded, "That's right, you can think so! Also, release your two metal puppets first, maybe they will also need their help." ”
"Let my puppet help pick the rabbit?First of all, I don't care if you get your head blown out by the two of them!" Luo Ning summoned two puppets as he said. As soon as his words fell, Jing Lie beside him suddenly split into four, transforming into four identical figures and rushing towards the two puppets.
Listening to the crisp sound of the nail bell, the slower Wuxiang Warrior Monk didn't have time to use any moves, and there were nearly a hundred pale white scratches of different lengths on his body out of thin air. Although the situation of the head of the ancient tomb is better, he only has time to launch a special move to separate the two swords, relying on the ghost's body to let go of a few key points.
"What a quick move!" Luo Ning's teeth couldn't see Jing Lie's movements clearly, but one thing was certain: these four figures were not clones created by illusions, but visual remnants created by Jing Lie's incredible movement speed. Also a Shadow Assassin, Jing Lie's strength is significantly superior to that of Kane he encountered outside of Maple Grove.
"Amitabha! Thank you for the mercy of the benefactor!
"Hmph! You're good this time!
Not only Luo Ning, but also the two puppets realized Jing Lie's extraordinary strength and responded one after another.
However, the most surprised was Jing Lie: "Huh, these two puppets...... They have their own consciousness...... It's just like a real person!"
"Hey, stinky boy, don't scream like puppets! we all have names!" the tomb boss seemed to be still haunting his loss.
"Alright, let's stop! Hurry up and catch the rabbits, let's go and give away all the equipment we have built!"
Jing Lie praised: "The strength of these two puppets is beyond my expectations. A puppet of such strength is enough to fight eight hares alone at the same time!"
"Eight hares?" Luo Ning became more and more confused: hundreds or thousands of them are not a problem, right? What the hell is this person doing?
This question lingered in Luo Ning's heart until he followed Jing Lie to the teleportation magic array that had been prepared in advance, and came to a barren valley surrounded by magic enchantments.
The exit of the teleportation circle is set at a peak on the edge of the Desolate. Luo Ning followed Jing Lie down the teleportation magic array, and vaguely heard a noise from below.
"Huh?" Luo Ning's heart moved, and he walked quickly to the edge of a steep cliff and looked down, only to see thousands of prisoners in prison uniforms standing in this circular valley closed by a magic enchantment, struggling to climb out of the valley along the cliff, but he was stopped by the magic enchantment at the edge of the valley again and again, screaming and flying back.
"Are these people what you ......say?"
Jing Lie's expression was indifferent, and he was not moved by the struggle of those people below: "That's right, these murderers who are named "hares" are the prey destined to die in the big hunt! But don't make mistake, this is not a trampling on life! On the contrary, these guys who are about to be judged are the ones who have really trampled on life!"
"Now, Dean Jing. You say this is a great hunt...... What kind of activity is it?!"
Jing Lie's gaze quickly swept over the group of prisoners below, and his tone was cold and unmistakable: "In order to draw magical energy from the powerful magical torrent that swept through the Lost Continent, our ancestors created this unique ritual. Thousands of years have passed, and the external appearance of the ceremony has not changed much, but the core spirit has become the self-reflection of the young students on strength!"
"Self-reflection through killing?!!This is ridiculous!" Ronin could not accept this fact.
Jing Lie looked directly at Luo Ning, and a rare smile appeared on his face: "Strength is like water, soul is like a boat! But if the power gets out of control, the soul will also be annihilated!"
He stretched out his hand and pointed down: "When the cadets kill a hare, they will be excited because they hunt the strong, they will be proud of their strength, and they will also have a ridiculous sense of superiority over their prey because of the difference in their situation. At the same time, the misery and despair of the prey will deeply touch these young people who are not determined. Two strong emotions strike a delicate balance in this moment. And the purpose of the Great Hunt is to let them reflect on the chaos caused by power in this delicate sense of balance and experience the injustice of the world!"
Luo Ning was not a young man full of enthusiasm, so he calmed down a lot when he heard this, and continued to ask: "What if the students are not strong and die in the big hunt?"
Jing Lie let out a sneer: "Morrowind Academy is not a shelter, only the strong are qualified to stay until the end! If they die in the Great Hunt, or become fools who are completely controlled by the slaughter, then they will become outcasts of the Academy, trapped in the hunting grounds, and become the food of the Warcraft!"
