Chapter 69: Colorful Red Rain
"Sister Rose, why was the elven lich waiting by the colorful chaos stone beaten by the classmate who jumped out of the stone?"
It was a drizzly afternoon, the streets were sparsely populated and most of the storefronts were closed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn the back room of a flower shop, the red-haired girl slowly brewed a cup of fragrant flower tea and pushed it in front of the red-haired boy.
"Xiaocao, do you think it's weird?"
"Sister Rose, didn't you say that when the little animal first came out, who saw it thought it was her parents?" The young man took a sip of flower tea and praised it, "If Sister Rose sells tea, maybe the business of the flower shop will be fine." ”
"Generally speaking, that's true, but there is one exception." The girl smiled lightly, "If the karma of killing was too heavy in the previous life, and the death is not clear, when you are reincarnated, your heart will be full of anger." Such a character is the legendary Heavenly Killer Star descending to earth. When you see your first subject at birth, you will see him as a mortal enemy. ”
“…… So that elven lich was beaten in such a daze? Xiaocao sighed, "What I don't understand is that it was originally a night elf, and turning into a lich will not degrade its skills too much, even if it is not guarded, it should not be impossible to hide." ”
"When I was under the Big Barrel City, wasn't Tyne-chan just pierced by the horns of the God of War Totem?" Rose also poured herself a cup of flower tea, "This totem has a space confinement effect when used as a weapon, so you can speed like the wind and teleport like electricity, and you have to obediently connect it in the range of action, and if you can't stop it, you just wait to break your bones." ”
"I see." Xiaocao nodded, "Although he escaped after being seriously injured last time, he finally died on this totem pole, it seems that it is really a matter of days, he can hide from the first day of junior high school, but he can't hide from the fifteenth." ”
"The God of War Totem has the same soul-absorbing effect as the Sirifen bracelet, but unlike the Sirifen bracelet, which uses the soul as a raw material for the gods, the soul of the totem pole still exists independently and has a chance to be resurrected, in a sense, this is a public life box." Rose continued, "After being shattered by a stick, Verth-san was reluctant to enter the totem pole, and instead of escaping far, he was sucked in by the Night Mentor with a Sirifin's bracelet. ”
"This time, he is completely destroyed, right?"
"So to speak." Rose replied serenely, "He deserves this fate, doesn't it?" ”
"Yes-" Xiaocao lowered her head and took another sip of tea, "Sister Rose, I still have a question, I heard that the elf became a lich and was poisoned by eating a rose flower, what is going on?" ”
"I don't know much about that." The red-haired girl frowned, "Half a month ago, I received a call from a peer in the illusion in my dream, who chose to recreate the scene of the 'Rose Mania' era five hundred years ago, asked me to hold a wedding for him, and also helped him put a curse. I also chose one of the best varieties of roses of our time and gave them as a gift. ”
"Five hundred years ago, the 'rose flower craze', at that time, people believed that roses were an investment with great value, and they bid for all kinds of roses, and even the most common varieties could be sold for thousands of gold coins." The young man's voice became excited, "Sister Rose, if you sold all the roses you planted at that time, the wealth of the kings of the world would not be as good as you." ”
"Xiaocao, you are joking, such speculation is only to transfer wealth, not to create wealth, and the bubble will burst one day." The girl's face was very sad, "That flower buying turmoil was also a disaster for roses, people were frantically digging for unknown varieties in all corners of the planet, so that there was almost no trace of roses in the wilderness. When the frenzy subsided, many varieties were no longer noticed, lacked cultivation value, and disappeared completely. ”
Tears gradually glistened in her eyes, "There were more than 30,000 kinds of roses, but now there are less than a third left, and if those flowers had been growing in the wilderness, they would have had a chance to survive to this day." ”
"Sister Rose, you don't have to be too sad, now the rose is designated as the national flower by one-third of the countries in the world, and it is the flower that most represents the value of love, this cultural phenomenon was also laid by that frenzy."
"Xiaocao, do you know, I'd rather those flowers grow happily in a carefree place where no one is around, rather than be offered to make a smile for others," the girl's voice lowered, "What kind of love symbol is Rose, what is the beautiful meaning, in fact, it is all artificially added, what they want to say, will anyone care?" ”
※※※
"Today, less than one percent of the roses that grow in the wild are planted artificially." Rose looked out the window, the sky was getting darker, and the dripping rain was getting bigger, "All I can do is keep more varieties of roses in my garden." ”
The sky was even darker, the doors and windows were swept by the wind that swayed, and the red-haired girl suddenly stood up and sneered, "I really look up to me, such a small place, can come to so many legendary-level guests." ”
"Sister Rose, what's wrong?"
In the flowerbed across the door from the Backrooms, thousands of spiky rose vines poured out, weaving a large green net in the blink of an eye, covering the entire ground.
With a "squeak", the owner of the rose pushed open the wooden door to enter the garden, "Show up, uninvited friends." ”
Colorful and bright flowers stand quietly on the branches, and there is no sound in the air.
"If you refuse to come out, then don't blame me for being rude." Dozens of rose vines in the outer ring immediately stretched in, rotating repeatedly in the enclosed space, and after a few rounds of testing, these thorn vines seemed to have found their target, and at the same time ran to a corner of the garden, winding into the shape of a human figure.
"Master Rose really lives up to his reputation," a sunny young man's voice came from the corner, "Don't worry, we're not here to destroy your flowers." ”
"In the City of Big Barrels, and even in the Vegetarian Dynasty, even Bambu cannot enter my flower garden casually without my permission." Rose was in an unhappy mood, "Whatever you're here for, it's an offense to me. ”
"Hehe, what a big breath, even my lamp god master doesn't put it in your eyes, do you think you are the lord?" The bound human figure suddenly emitted a strong golden light, and the thorny vines wrapped around the body immediately made a "clatter" and "clatter" sound, and it was about to be broken.
The red-haired girl gestured lightly, and the thorn vine quickly thickened several times, and at the same time tightened tighter, "Tell me honestly where you come from, you and the lamp god ......"
Before she finished speaking, a sudden bitter pain spread throughout her body, and the golden light easily got rid of the comfort of the thorn vine, and a young warrior with a golden battle armor appeared in front of her.
"Sister Rose, what's wrong with you?" The red-haired boy walked over and asked hurriedly.
"Little grass...... I think I'm poisoned. The Rose Girl bit her lower lip in pain, "When the hell happened, why didn't I notice it at all?" ”
"It's very simple, you've been poisoned since five hundred years ago." Xiaocao replied lightly.
"What did you say?" Rose looked back in surprise, this friend who had known her for thousands of years seemed to have suddenly become extremely demonic.
"Sister, you have the roots of the Rose God, and you share weal and woe with all the roses in this world, as long as the roses in this world are still there, you can live forever." The red-haired boy smiled and said, "As the saying goes, wildfires can't be burned, spring breezes blow and grow, it's impossible to make the roses completely extinct on this planet, on the other hand, it's realistic to control the roses to secretly affect you." ”
"Tell me clearly, what does that mean?"
"After 500 years of rose mania, the rose became the number one flower in the world and the largest seller in the market, and since then, the number of wild roses has far outnumbered the number of cultivated flowers." Xiaocao explained little by little, "At this time, I developed a cultivation nutrient solution that can make roses bloom more vividly and vigorously, so it was quickly promoted. And Sister Rose, you have been planting roses for thousands of years, and you have always advocated natural growth, and you have never bought this thing, so you have not been able to discover the mystery of it. ”
"Very well, what's so weird in the nutrient solution?" Rose asked weakly.
"This nutrient solution contains a small amount of arsenic, aconitum, and some heavy metals, which can indeed stimulate the delicate color of the roses," the red-haired boy said with a smile, "Over the past few hundred years, even trace elements have accumulated to a very high concentration, and sister, your cultivation is to take the aura of the rose flower between heaven and earth, so well, in the end, all the toxins will be summed up in you, and now you have been poisoned by the most terrible legend ever on the entire planet." ”
"Very good, very good, Xiaocao, you can actually let this poison drag on until now to make me attack?"
"Your toxicity is so heavy that only my grass pill can neutralize it, so I have been following you for hundreds of years, and I will follow you to set up a stall in any city, in order to suppress your toxic attacks and let you continue to accumulate toxins." Xiaocao said very gently, "Sister Rose, if I leave this city, you will find that a single petal of the flower you sell can poison a person on the street, and pour a cup of flower tea you make in the well, and the well water will not be able to drink it again for a hundred years." ”
"Xiaocao, Xiaocao, what are you doing to me like this?" The red-haired girl's eyes were sad, revealing disappointment.
"This still needs to be asked, of course for the sake of becoming a god." The golden-armored warrior stepped forward, "Do you think Mr. Grass is really willing to divide the scope with you, one to cultivate the herb god, and the other to cultivate the wood god, what he has always wanted is to occupy the entire plant field." ”
"And mushrooms." The red-haired boy added, his face was full of pride for a moment, "I am the spiritual root that opens the world, the treasure fruit that will not be moved, I am the only one who respects the grass and trees, and only I can lead all plants to a new world of green ecology." ”
"So, Xiaocao, you saw me as an obstacle early on, do you have to get rid of me?"
"Sister Rose, I know you're very powerful, but you never like to show off, and if you don't count your combat skills, those lords may not be as strong as you." Xiaocao clapped her hands, "But now, although the poison in your body can't kill you immediately, as soon as you use your strength, the poison will attack violently in your body." ”
He pointed to the golden-armored warrior, "Let me introduce you, this classmate is Mr. Bambu's Gaozu, the first deputy head of the Knights of the Hell's Desolation, the guardian knight of the Holy See of the God of Light, and now he is fused with the scarab shield, Kriseros, you can call him Grandpa Cocoon." ”
※※※
The golden light condensed into a huge knife shape in an instant, and slashed towards the red-haired girl.
The green rose vine suddenly glowed with a clear light, once again tightly entangled the golden light from all directions, followed by the sound of a violent cough.
"Sister Rose, didn't I say it," the red-haired boy shook his head repeatedly, "You must not exert yourself, if you exert yourself, it will be the end of the poisonous gas." ”
"I've figured it out," a firm tone came from the cough, "since this poison has flare-up, and even I can't resist it, can they stand it?" ”
The spikes on the green rattan became more slender and sharp, piercing deep into the golden light.
"Sister Rose, look carefully," Xiaocao said in a regretful tone, "This cocoon classmate is already an undead, have you heard the story of a dead man being poisoned?" ”
"If the poison doesn't die, then I will directly destroy his body!" A spiked rattan with the thickness of the mouth of the bowl stretched out, and the end of the branch turned into a sharp cone, whistling towards the golden light, unceremoniously piercing through, and with a "bang", countless golden fragments were scattered to the ground.
"Looks like the amber shell isn't very hard." The red-haired boy didn't care at all about the attacks on his companions.
With a few brushes, four or five more cones shook in the air, this time aiming at the limbs and skulls of the bound ones.
Just as Rose was about to make a move, a coldness suddenly welled up in her heart, and she hurriedly dodged to the side without caring about any more vine thorns. Several bright blue rays fell overhead, slicing the green rattans one by one.
"Sister Rose, let me introduce you again," Xiaocao pointed to a few wisps of blue light flowing in the air, and disappeared in an instant, "This Wendy Pol classmate and Kriseros are biological siblings, their family has a natural stealth ability, but unlike the younger brother of Waste Firewood, the older sister can be invisible around the clock. ”
A gentle voice came quietly, "Master Rose, I'm a killer, so I eat by stealth, so I don't come out to see you." When you die, I will definitely show up at the grave and bow a few times. ”
"Wendy's has helped him a lot in the past as Tien's assistant. This time, Tyan-san died in the ash field, and the biggest mistake was not to bring Wendy-san with him
by your side. The red-haired boy nodded, "Now, Wendy-san has taken over his position as the agent of the Spirit Prison, and we are all optimistic that Wendy-san will be even better than his predecessor." ”
"Good, but I don't think you're an undead." With a finger of Rose's hand, countless spikes with a bright green luster bounced out of the rattan, quickly shuttling through every space in the flower garden, leaving no dead ends, "Can your stealth make you resistant to toxicity?" ”
A purple aura suddenly emerged from the ground, and the rose thorns flying in the air were sucked in as if an iron needle had met a magnet. When the purple ring rises to a certain height, the purple brilliance hangs down from the ring like a waterfall, turning into a girl with purple hair, purple eyes and purple skin.
"Although Wendy's is the king of invisibility, she is not the king of killers." Xiaocao pointed at the purple-haired girl and said, "Sister Rose, the one standing in front of you is the number one killer among the agents of hell, the younger sister of the Hades Emperor, Her Royal Highness Princess Ziqi. ”
"Sister Rose," Zi Qi looked up, "our actions this time have already exhausted the elites of the Hell and the Spirit Prison, and if this can't get rid of you, then there will really be no face at all." ”
"I'm really old," the red-haired girl bowed her head, "so even these little ones dare to say they want my life." ”
"Sister Rose, it's good that you recognize this." Xiaocao smiled, "From the beginning, your resistance didn't make any sense. ”
"Did you know that there are miracles above legends," Rose's eyes suddenly shot a cold light, "Except for the gods, I have never seen anyone in my life dare to spread wild in front of me!" ”
The net of roses that covered the entire flower bed spun violently like a tornado, and the sharp whistling sound shook the eardrums. The turquoise rattan turned into a whip shadow that surrounded the sky, like a huge grinding disc that stirred gold and stone into powder; The gorgeous flowers have become monsters with open bloody mouths, capable of devouring and digesting everything they come across; The sharp thistles seemed to be dense swarms of bees that covered the heavens and the earth, frantically attacking the intruders.
The golden, blue, and purple light and shadow were loosening, collapsing, and shattering little by little under the never-ending tide of waves, like a cape washed over thousands of years.
"Sister Rose, it's the first time I've seen you angry, these classmates have a lot of trouble to eat." Xiaocao's voice was still so indifferent, "But although you are a miracle person, we also have a myth on our side. ”
As he spoke, a silver ball fell from the sky and smashed into the sea of flowers, spinning in the opposite direction. Within half a minute, the wind had stopped, the rattans had fallen to the ground, the roses had fallen, and the flowerbeds had regained their tranquility.
The silver ball also stopped turning, and stretched out two long thin lines, and then three holes appeared two up and down, as if the eyes and mouth were moving,
"Hello, I'm Auripas, the god of the machine."
※※※
"Oripas, isn't that the name of the half-elf you brought with you before?"
"Sister Rose, you have a good memory." Xiaocao nodded, "Originally, they planned to leave Lunan to go to Daiwu, and we also gave a parting gift. ”
"Then how did he become the god of the machine?"
"It all started when that minotaur got the tribal totem." The red-haired young man said slowly, "Sister Rose, that minotaur is your fellow countryman, so you naturally hope that he can go back smoothly." And as an important belief in the Daiwu Empire, how could I help the northern barbarians welcome back the holy relics, so I discussed with Mr. Bambu and found a way to let them enter the ash realm, in that kind of place, they naturally have no way to get out. ”
"What Bambu means is to plan some actions to attack the orc tribe, so that the soul of the god of war in the totem can be resurrected and become the new lord of hell. And in order to repay the humiliation of the defeat of the city, Tyne's classmates wanted to kill them directly. Xiaocao pointed to the Golden Armor Warrior, "Cocoon-san is the direct executor of this plan, he was on the wrong path with those two when he was in the mercenary group, and he felt even more unhappy when he organized adventurers to attack the tribe and lost the battle, so he leaned towards Tyne-san's plan of complete extermination." Therefore, after His Excellency sent a war gift to awaken Mickt's soul, he took the opportunity to directly kill the minotaur and half-elf classmates. ”
"The crux of the mission is for Lord Mickett to become the Sovereign," the undead paladin defended, "what are those cats and dogs worth?" Of course, I have the right to dispose of it myself. ”
The silver orb blinked, but did not speak.
"Cocoon's classmate is scolding you, don't you react at all?" Zi Qi was a little surprised by the temper of this guy who called himself the "God of Mechanical People".
"As a god, I'm no longer on the same level as him." Yuanqiu lazily replied, "Deal with him, is this necessary?" ”
"What kind of god is he?"
"This is the divinity created by my sister, and the content of faith is the three laws of the organ. In other words, the more advanced the golem making and alchemy on this planet, the more advanced the level of mechanical civilization, and the more mechanical people created, the more powerful his skills became. The purple-haired girl said with a smile, "In the future, when every archmage makes a golem, he will paste a portrait of the god Olipas on the back of the work, hoping that Yiyi will bless his subordinates to never short circuit, never crash, never make mistakes, and never betray." ”
"Cut, how do I sound like I'm asking the toilet god to bless the drain from clogging?" But Ricelos said angrily.
"That's right, Yiyi is the god of the industry," the red-haired boy also smiled slightly, "He represents the development direction of high technology, and he will definitely have a more promising future than the god of the stove and the god of sleep and the god of tailors in the future." ”
"Cocoon-san, I know you're jealous," Yuanqiu said unhurriedly, "As the first great being to succeed in becoming a god after the God War on this planet, I'm the object you want to look up to forever." ”
"You grass god is embarrassed to brag, your little divine power can only be used once a day!"
"Shut up, cocoon!" A blue light slammed down on the undead paladin's head, "You should keep your mouth shut." ”
However, it was too late, and the rose tornado swirled again, far more powerful and massive than before.
"Sister Rose, if these children die at your hands, I can't explain to Your Excellency Lan Ruo and Your Excellency Preson." Xiaocao finally made a war letter, "We have known each other for thousands of years and have never fought each other, at this time, it is time to show it." ”
That night, the inhabitants of the Great Barrel City saw a blue tree in the city soar into the sky, smashing a bright red tornado, and then immediately a colorful red rain fluttered in the city, and it was all over after dawn.
"Originally, Sister Rose was a little taller than me, but after being poisoned, I was a little taller than her." The morning sun on the new horizon sprinkled the red-haired boy's face, "However, without the help of a few of you, I am not sure that I will defeat her." ”
"So, have you eliminated her?" A flashing blue light asked.
"No," Xiaocao looked into the distance, "She's just seriously injured and fled in the direction of the ashing field." ”
"Mr. Cao, aren't you afraid that she will seek revenge on you in the future?"
"Now that 99 percent of the roses in the world have become highly poisonous flowers, the poison in her can no longer be solved." Xiaocao said lightly, "Unless she has the ability to create another world and redevelop the Rose Line, there is hope of regaining her strength." ”
"That's what I said, but I have a lot of dreams at night." The ball buzzed.
"Yiyi, what you said is very good." The red-haired boy patted its antenna, "I'll go to the ash realm as an adventurer to find Sister Rose, so please go back to the inn first to collect information for me,"
"Mr. Cao, I'm also a god anyway, if you say to instruct, I'll be very shameless."
"After the matter is completed, I will give you a grass pill to help you reshape the divine bones and recreate the immortal body."
"Mr. Cao, we're here to help you this time, why don't you give everyone a little hard work." The purple-haired girl said dissatisfied.
"Alright, alright, I still have a few leaves here, you can take them and divide them."
After the hell helpers dispersed, the red-haired boy looked at the wolf-filled flower beds, smiled lightly, paced back to the back room, lifted the already cold half cup of flower tea, brought it to his mouth and drank it slowly, then shook his long sleeves and walked out of the flower shop.
"Sister Rose, you can't escape."
Underground, scattered broken petals spread all the way out of the city, red as blood.
