Chapter 113: New Members
Gold is the base, glass is the lamp, and the bright light illuminates the whole room.
Atlan sat behind a long, intricately carved table, his hands resting on the table, holding a ring that shone blue-purple in the light.
Poseidon's Treasure!
The ring body is made of some kind of special blue-purple ore, and the ring face has the exact same intention as the crab lord who appeared under the breakwater before, with eight crab feet grasping the entire ring horizontally, and two crow limbs turning into rings, which makes the whole ring look like a miniature version of the crab lord, ready to cling to a human finger at any time......
"It's good-looking, if it's good-looking, you can watch it for a while, I'm not in a hurry. ”
Someone sat across from Otlan, whispering in harmony.
"It's not pretty, just one look at it is enough. ”
Otlan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he handed the ring out with both hands.
"You don't think it's good-looking, so what are you doing so hard, is it fun?"
The man didn't take the ring, leaned forward slightly, squinted his eyes and continued,
"I've never seen anyone betray a contract so quickly, but I'm not like you, my biggest advantage is to keep my promises, I said on the breakwater before, if you break the contract, I will let you experience everything that the Dream Eater has experienced, so, are you ready?"
"I wasn't prepared...... Mr. President, I apologize to you for your recklessness, and I hope that you can be compensated for your losses...... Barov!"
Aotran, who had witnessed the blizzard, had long since lost any confidence, got up and pulled out his chair, bowed neatly ninety degrees, and immediately shouted to the other side of the room.
The captain of the guard led several servants in, and the two of them carried a box and opened it one after another.
Brilliant gold!
"Your life is worth these things?"
Zhu Jue looked at the boxes of gold coins in front of him, raised his hand, and the ring naturally rose from the table, occupying the position of his right index finger.
The blue-purple light on the ring dissipated in an instant, and it didn't reach the flesh and blood of the palm.
"If you need anything, please ask!"
As long as he can survive, the Earl of Otlan will do whatever it takes, and the flesh and blood hell under the breakwater has completely broken his psychological defense!
"It's a good attitude to admit mistakes, okay, for the sake of you sending so many people to help me in the end, I won't pursue the matter of the contract, except for these gold coins, I can't think of any requirements for the time being, and there may be a ...... that needs your help in the future."
"Please feel free to come to me!"
"It's good to know, let's go, don't send it. ”
Waving his hand, the wind immediately rose in the house, carrying the boxes full of gold coins and floating to Zhu Jue's side, he didn't bother to continue wasting time here, and left without looking back.
Only Otlan and the others were left in a trance in the house.
Leaving the Manor in Alteran, Zhu Jue got into the carriage of the Chamber of Commerce.
Facing Lishana and Lobelin, the exhaustion on their faces could no longer be hidden.
"Go back to the Chamber of Commerce first, and I'll talk about something later. ”
Stopping the two who wanted to speak, Zhu Jue leaned against the carriage and slowly closed his eyes.
An unprecedented sense of exhaustion was filling every cell in his body, and the beating of the Earl of Otland in the manor just now had drained his little physical strength that had been exhausted.
Zhu Jue is not a monster with unlimited physical strength, during the time when the yellow silk mask was attached to his body, not all of the power he burst out to crush the Lord of Crabs was the power of the mask, and a considerable part of it was still maintained by overdrawing Zhu Jue's physical strength, otherwise he would not have suddenly fainted after defeating the Lord of Crabs.
I have to admit that this is the most dangerous situation that Zhu Jue has experienced five years later, if it weren't for the rescue of Lishana and Lobelin and the "good Samaritans" of the Dilas Harbor Garrison, he might have become a prisoner of the mask now.
Lobelin's idea was not entirely correct, he thought of using water to fight the wind, and the power of water in this ring could indeed suppress the mask, but he didn't think about what would happen if these two forces appeared on ordinary people at the same time.
If it weren't for the fact that the body had a certain affinity for the water element because it had eaten the evolutionary flesh of many deep divers in the past, and most of the power left by the bear monster was also biased towards the water element, plus the ring had consumed a considerable part of the energy in the hands of the priest before, this made the water power in the ring take the initiative to choose to cooperate with Zhu Jue when he failed to resist the wind power in the mask.
Compared to controlling Zhu Jue's host, these two forces obviously care more about defeating each other, and this has become the key point for Zhu Jue to finally wake up and turn the tables.
That real blizzard was also to clean up the surrounding enemies, and secondly, it also meant that Zhu Jue, who had come to his senses, deliberately consumed the strength of the two.
Of course, in that case, it was extremely difficult for Zhu Jue to even think, and he was completely relying on his own intuition to save himself.
The danger in this made him a little scared when he thought about it now.
The reality is like this, Zhu Jue is not a god, he can't control everything...... Not to mention these unspeakable things.
However, high risk often means extremely high returns.
Zhu Jue, who was in a false sleep, rubbed the crab lord ring on his index finger with the thumb of his right hand, and his left hand, which he put in his jacket pocket, was holding a round jade.
His face was still tired, but a satisfied smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Sandpiper and clam fight.
He, a fisherman, put his life in and watched, and there was still a harvest after all.
Although he didn't know how to use them correctly for the time being, Zhu Jue could clearly feel the power contained in these two treasures, even if he was just wearing them on his body, he could still use them as a medium to achieve the purpose of controlling water and wind.
Maybe the effect was much worse than when it completely erupted just now, but for Zhu Jue, he was quite satisfied that he could barely borrow them, and he was not so arrogant as he wanted to turn these two treasures into scavengers in one night.
......
The gate of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce was locked, and all the workers in the station were temporarily dismissed by Lisanna, and they were not allowed to return until ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
Zhu Jue and Luo Belin entered the hotel and did not go upstairs, but stopped in the lobby on the first floor.
"About that mask......"
"Hey, don't worry, you can talk about these things slowly, you tell me first, how to use it to help you lift the curse. ”
For Lobelin, if Zhu Jue was only interested in him before, then now he is undoubtedly a little grateful.
If it weren't for his reminder and last insistence tonight, his will might have collapsed long ago.
"It's very simple, as long as you control the power in the ring to merge into my body, it doesn't take too much, and the energy left in the ring by the Lord of Crabs will automatically cancel each other out with the power of the curse. ”
When it comes to lifting the curse, Luo Belin and Zhu Jue's equally tired faces immediately become a little more eager, the way to lift the curse is never difficult, the difficult thing is to find something that can lift the curse.
"Since you don't need any upfront preparation, let's start now. ”
Zhu Jue moved a chair and sat down, turned back to Lishana and said.
"Lisanna, you go to the kitchen and prepare something to eat, the more the better. ”
"I'm going to prepare. ”
Although she didn't participate in much of the battle tonight, Lishana, who was still physically and mentally exhausted, wiped her face and bowed away.
"Are you ready?"
"I've been preparing for this day for a few years, do you think I'm ready?"
Luo Beilin stood in front of Zhu Jue, and when he really faced this moment, his state of mind was unexpectedly calm.
Stretching out his right index finger to point at the quicksand on Luo Belin's face, Zhu Jue used his own will to drive the power of the ring, the blue-purple light condensed into silk threads, and submerged into the quicksand, Zhu Jue could clearly see those rays of light surging into the depths of Luo Belin's body in the flow of sand.
Until the pale gray smoke poured out of the cracks in the gravel.
The flow of sand and gravel gradually slows down......
When Lisanna came out of the kitchen with a cart full of plates, she heard a man's laughter of joy and sorrow, and further on, she saw Lobelin holding a mirror from nowhere to look at her face from all angles.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lobelin. ”
Glancing at the ordinary middle-aged uncle's face, Lishana pursed her lips and congratulated with a smile as she put the things on the dining car on the table next to the two.
"Hahaha~ This is all thanks to Mr. Zhu Jue. ”
The elimination of the curse can be said to have removed Lobelin's heart disease for several years, the smile has not stopped, the eyes have not taken off the mirror, and I can't wait to appreciate it for 24 hours.
Why didn't you realize that your face was so attractive before?
"Lobelin, your matter has been settled, and now it's time to tell me the origin of this mask...... You eat too, and if you don't have enough, you just have to do it again. ”
Grabbing the steak and stuffing it into his mouth, he chewed two bites and swallowed it, the ghoul's evolutionary meat gave Zhu Jue the carnivorous recovery ability that was now effective.
The other two were not polite, and each dragged a chair and sat down.
"I don't know much about the mask, it was a relic left to me by a priest who lived in a stone monastery, and he told me that this mask was the fate I had to face and the key to my removal of the curse...... I didn't expect that when I was ready to use it, it would suddenly get out of my grasp and fly in your face. ”
At the mention of this matter, Lobelin's expression was a little strange, after all, although this thing is evil, the hidden power in it is undoubtedly powerful.
"Priest, can you elaborate?"
Zhu Jue was obviously a little concerned about the priest in Luo Belin's mouth.
The reason is simple.
Ring and mask, these two things are actually very different from Zhu Jue's attitude now, the former because of Zhu Jue's personal ability, coupled with the previous experience of joining forces to fight against the mask, to a certain extent, he has actually recognized Zhu Jue as the holder, so Zhu Jue dares to use the ring when his physical strength is overdrawn,
However, the situation of the mask is completely opposite to the ring, it has already controlled Zhu Jue, but it was suppressed by the ring and Zhu Jue together, and it was forced to change back into the form of jade in desperation, Zhu Jue can clearly feel the resistance and some whispers that are enough to make ordinary people crazy from the jade so far.
Because of this, Zhu Jue had to spend more effort if he wanted to get the recognition of the mask.
"I'm sorry, I don't know much about the High Priest, I used to practice with him, but most of the time I couldn't see him, except that he lived in a stone monastery and served a certain Supreme Being. ”
Lobelin looked a little embarrassed, and he seemed reluctant to discuss anything about the high priest from the priest.
"Well, let's change the subject, Lobelin, what are you going to do next?"
Regarding Luo Belin's hesitation, Zhu Jue did not mean to persecute, and he had no position to persecute his savior, but he was indeed quite interested in the origin of this mask, touched his stubble, and asked again.
"The curse has been lifted, the mask is not bound to me, and I am ready to go in search of the monsters that appeared in the Gateless City...... Revenge!"
Revenge, which will be the main goal of Lobelin's next stage of life.
"You know where it is?"
"I've been trying to find a way to lift the curse to prolong my life, and although I've searched for it in the process, the harvest is almost nothing. ”
"In fact, there are merchants in our Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce who come and go from all over the world, and they will bring us a lot of useful information......"
After saying a few words, he glanced at Luo Beilin, and Zhu Jue secretly observed his expression.
"Give me funds and intelligence, I have only one request, when I find that monster, you can't stop me!"
A smart person is a smart person, and before Zhu Jue could open his mouth to invite, Luo Beilin had already noticed it first.
"I promise that when the time comes, not only will I not stop you, but I will go with you to find it. ”
Zhu Jue raised the fruit wine, raised his eyebrows, and motioned for Lishana to raise it too, and then took Lobelin's shoulders and said in a loud voice,
"Now let's welcome Mr. Lobelin, a new member of the Sparkling Gold Chamber of Commerce...... You may not believe it, but I have already seen the prospect of the rise of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce!"
