Chapter 62: Mission Triggered
"Lynch Nereva Selindu, descendant of Nereva, heir of Idra. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lucien casually took the light kyanite ring into his arms, and then bowed to Ling Qi slightly, and then said solemnly.
"On behalf of the Dark Brotherhood, I am only sending you an extension, I wonder if you are willing to throw yourself into the arms of the Mother of Night. β
Most of the middle-aged man's face was hidden in his robe, but Ling Qi could feel that he was staring at him.
Hearing this, Ling Qi was directly stunned, Lucien knew his name nonsense, and it was not surprising that when he made an oath with Leo, Antorell was likely to be on his side.
But what is the descendant of Nireva, the heir of Ida?
Niriva knew that he had heard Nikolai say that he seemed to be a demigod and a heroic figure in ancient times. When he was talking nonsense about the name, he just felt it and added the word.
But this should not cause misunderstanding.
The sea with the name of the hero in the name of the world is gone.
Ling Qi was puzzled, he felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, a certain thought flashed in his mind, and he felt that it was too ridiculous, and he put it away.
He was stunned, but he seemed to be misunderstood by Lucian, and the man raised his head, revealing his stubble chin, and said calmly:
"Of course, great godborn, you can also choose to refuse. Everyone has the right to say no to others, doesn't they?"
His tone was steady, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.
Ling Qi felt a slight chill in his heart when he heard this, this was a threat!
He narrowed his eyes and stared silently at the man in front of him. The man, Lucian, made every movement superfluous, like a machine, whether he bowed or stood upright, and once the movement was complete, he did not move at all, showing astonishing precision.
The killing intent in his heart flashed away, and with the improvement of his attributes, the power that could erupt from the Bloody Wind Howl was no longer what it used to be.
This thought was only a slight movement, and he suppressed it.
Although Lucien's attitude is cold, there is still some respect on the surface, which is most likely the statement of the Dark Brotherhood.
Toasting without eating and punishing wine, of course, is not Ling Qi's style.
He smiled and returned a friendly salute to Lucian.
"In the name of our ancestors, I, Lynch Nereva Seindu, will join the Dark Brotherhood and never turn my back. β
The Dark Brotherhood does not believe in oaths, but in the constraints of the Five Commandments.
Ling Qi only made a statement, and he wouldn't really take the bullshit oath seriously.
"I'm curious, though, how did you know my identity. β
At the end, he added, his eyes flickering slightly.
Lucien helped him up with his own hands, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
He lifted the hood off his head, revealing the face of a pale, ordinary middle-aged man.
"Trust me, you won't regret your choice. As for your identityβ"
He patted Ling Qi on the shoulder, avoiding his doubts. He untied a short dagger with a sheath from his belt and handed it to Ling Qi.
"It's called the Thorn of Pain, an imitation of the ancient artifact Thorn of Thorn, and every official member of the Dark Brotherhood has one. β
Ling Qi took the dagger, listened to Lucian's words, and thought of the skeletal dagger that Antorell was holding rampantly, but found that it was completely different.
The handle of this dagger is one palm long, four fingers wide and half an inch thick, and it looks straight throughout, with a total length of less than 20 centimeters.
The handle is sheathed, showing a grayish-brown color, like rust, like rotten blood, more like some kind of aging thorn vine, uneven.
However, when it is stroked, it does not prick the hand, but feels very comfortable and full of flexibility.
Click!
Pulling the dagger out of its sheath, Ling Qi's brows furrowed slightly.
The color of the blade of this dagger is also gray-brown, and it doesn't look sharp at all.
Even the three-finger-wide-wide ridge is like rusty iron, making people wonder if it will break off by itself in the next moment.
Pull the entire dagger out of its sheath, walk to the overturned wooden table not far away, and slash at the table legs!
Click!
This dagger actually stuck directly in the crack of the wood!
"This!"
Ling Qi's eyes almost popped out, can this thing really be used to cut people?
What is the imitation of an ancient artifact, no wonder the mysterious voice did not prompt, it is really a defective product.
Pulling this thing out of the table leg with force, the sawdust flew through the incision, and the signs of the wooden depression could be clearly seen.
Such a scar is not so much cut out, but simply smashed.
No wonder Antorell had never seen this thing used, it was too bad.
Inserting the dagger back into the sheath, Ling Qi didn't speak, but lightly thanked Lucien:
"Thank you, sir. β
Lucien just looked at Ling Qi's test with a smile and didn't say much, but at this time he was a little interested, and said in surprise:
"Thank me, why don't you question me why this dagger is so dull?"
Ling Qi smiled, pointed to the dagger in his hand, and said seriously:
"I believe that the quality of a weapon does not depend on the weapon itself, but also on the person who uses it. β
In this case, it is obviously high-sounding. In fact, Ling Qi just felt that it was normal for things to come in vain and be a little rubbish.
Lucien laughed and pursed his lips at first, but then, as if he had realized something, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.
"Hehe, what you said is kind of interesting, but I think you're mistaken. β
Ling Qi blinked, and immediately made a deferential gesture.
He also thought it was quite strange, although it was given for free, but as the standard weapon of the Dark Brotherhood, how could it be so rubbish, and there was really no meaning, it was too.
Lucien didn't speak for a while, but just untied the other dagger on his waist, looking similar to Ling Qi's hand, but obviously more "new".
Boom!
The dagger was unsheathed, and the red light swirled around the dagger, and there was no need to even wave it, looking at it from a distance, Ling Qi felt a fear in his heart.
The next moment, the power of scarlet surged from his body, and a faint fear immediately left him, and the essence of light burst out in Ling Qi's eyes.
"Huh!"
Lucien was slightly surprised that Ling Qi could easily break free from the aura of fear, but he didn't think deeply about the thin but noble blood on the other party's body.
"What is this?"
Ling Qi looked at Lucian's dagger, and then at his own.
The middle-aged man smiled and put his blade into the sheath.
"The thorns of pain were not used to cut wood, but to kill. β
"The more people it kills, the more power it has. β
"Just slaughter thousands of living beings, and it will be able to reproduce the style of the artifact!"
Lucien looked at Ling Qi indifferently, and when he talked about killing, his face was full of sacredness.
"Lynch, you should know gratitude. β
"Ordinary Brotherhood members, if they want to join, they must complete the initiation task, and they have only one-tenth of the power they can accumulate through killing. The rest will be absorbed by the large artifact placed in the headquarters, the Death's Door. Only when their status within the Brotherhood is gradually improved will this prohibition be opened step by step!"
Speaking of this, Lucien paused for a moment, and when he saw that Ling Qi was not hiding his joy, he said with satisfaction:
"It seems that you have understood, yes, the Pain Thorn in your hand is the most perfect artifact imitation without any prohibition! Even, the master who forged this Pain Thorn has integrated his own heart and blood into it, and he said in his last words that this will be the soul weapon most likely to be comparable to the Thorn of Thorns!"
Soul weapons?!
Ling Qi noticed this word, and as for the other most perfect imitations, comparable to the thorns of the ancient artifact, Ling Qi didn't believe a word.
It's really such a bull, where is his turn? And it's that everyone else is dead, and they can't use this thing to kill people and recharge, so why is it still rusty and rotten iron.
On the surface, Ling Qi listened respectfully to Lucian's story, but in his heart he thought of something else.
In fact, from the very beginning, Lucien appeared, and all his expressions, resentment, calmness, joy, except for the stunned look when he heard Lucien call him, were nothing more than a mask of attitude.
If he is always indifferent, like a dead person, although he can hide himself, it will deepen the jealousy of others.
Lucien said a lot of it, probably because the organization had high hopes for him, and how he should repay Yunyun.
Finally, he said:
"The soul weapon is an important achievement of the organization's successful research and development more than 300 years ago, which has cost a lot of manpower and material resources and has gone through the efforts of more than ten generations. The Thorn of Pain is its pinnacle masterpiece, which relies on the power of the large artifact Death's Gate, fuses the rotten water of Hittis and the blessing of the Mother of Night, and is built by Kara Zan, the pinnacle of mankind two hundred years ago, with a total of 779 handles, with its own immortal attributes. β
"Every soul weapon is bound to the soul of its current master, and no one can take it away, unless its owner dies, it will automatically return to the door of death, be absorbed with all its power, and fall into a deep sleep again. β
Lucien looked at Ling Qi as if in remembrance, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
"This thorn of pain in your hand has had five masters, but unfortunately they have not been able to develop its full power. β
"I hope that you, with the blood of the gods flowing in your body, can make it shine with amazing brilliance!"
"Originally, according to your conditions, the headquarters has announced that it will directly recruit you into the club. β
"But I see your potential, and I want you to accept the mission I have prepared for you!"
"This isn't an ordinary initiation quest, so as long as you complete it, you'll get an extra reward from me. β
"Of course, correspondingly, until the mission is completed, in order to make it difficult enough to match the reward, your other Brotherhood sets will not be available for the time being. β
"What do you think?"
Before Ling Qi could say anything, the hint of a mysterious voice suddenly sounded!
"Ding! random task triggering, the target character has a good impression of you, the unknown mission is about to be released, please ask if you accept it!"
"Important: Please make a choice before the target person publishes the content of the mission, otherwise the reward income from the mission will be greatly reduced!"
