Chapter 50: I ask for a competitive position

After finishing the feast, which lasted until the early morning, Aya returned to her dormitory in a groggy state, which was actually the bedroom of the City Lord's Mansion. ,!

She is a heroic spirit body, and as one of the most powerful knight professionals in the continent during her lifetime, her physique is even stronger than that of barbaric beasts, and naturally, the amount of alcohol is also bottomless.

But she was still drunk. At the banquet, Bedwell actually took out the secret brew of the dragon clan, diluted a barrel in a cup, and let the heroes in the audience collectively hit the street. Aya drank the remaining half of the bucket alone, and suddenly became dizzy.

When he opened his eyes, he found that he was no longer the richly decorated ceiling of the city lord's bedroom, but an endless and deep pitch black.

"Aya, good morning."

Wang Lu's gentle greeting sounded a little dull at this time.

"Where is this?"

Aya shook her dizzy head vigorously, and then struggled to stand up, trying to observe the situation around her, but her hand was weak, and she almost fell back again.

Wang Lu stretched out his hand to pull Aya up, and kept shaking his head: "Alas, seeing that you are drunk and in such a mess, not only are you delirious, but even your hairstyle is messed up, I will help you pull out this strand of dull hair." ”

Aya slapped Wang Lu's outstretched hand angrily, and then swept her eyes around, and her somewhat confused gaze suddenly became sharp: "This is the king's treasure house?" ”

Wang Lu said: "Finally, you haven't forgotten. Although we have won the Holy Light Cult, we are not free yet. The main quest hasn't been completed yet, but our side quest is a little too far. ”

Aya was silent for a while: "What about the others?" It's all here? ”

"Of course it's all there, the price of collective transmission is very high, how can you make it if you don't get people together?"

Aya narrowed her eyes, and sure enough, she saw the figures of Liuli Xian, Bai Shixuan and Dog Walking Chess in the dark.

"What the hell is going on?"

Wang Lu said, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine human blood roses have been gathered, and after the two great wars, more than 1,500 corpses of mid-level professionals of the Holy Light Sect have been collected. ”

Aya said, "I know the Tao, but I remember that the Golden King once said that we should return to Taobao City and enter the treasure house through any entrance. So, I never thought I'd be back here so soon.

As she spoke, Aya's gaze gradually sharpened: "Wang Lu, I want to believe you, but please also give me an explanation, for what?" ”

It can be said that the timing of Wang Lu's pulling Aya back to the treasure house is really inappropriate. Because after the great battle that decided Bretonia's future, Aya was about to take this opportunity to strengthen her authority in an all-round way, and make up for the side effects of Wang Lu's previous indiscriminate promises when he poached people at a premium.

Although Wang Lu's promise was not Aya's intention, Aya would not blatantly break the contract because of this. In her opinion, even in a federal state, she can still have authority over anyone else, as long as it is done properly...... It's a pity that in this best time, she was caught in the treasure house by Wang Lu and missed the opportunity. And with Aya's understanding of Wang Lu, it is hard to imagine that this is his carelessness.

"Reason......" Seeing Aya asking so seriously, or questioning, Wang Lu could only reply seriously, "I really don't want you to repeat the mistakes of the past, that's all." ”

"Repeating the mistakes of the past?"

"Haven't you learned your lesson from the failure of more than a hundred years ago?"

Aya sighed: "That's different"

"Yes, at that time, your situation was actually even better than now, the Holy Light Sect did not regard you as a thorn in the side, and Bretonia was not suppressed and emasculated by the Holy Light Sect for more than a hundred years, and its strength was at its peak at that time. But you have failed, and your loyal knights of the Round Table have been torn apart, and the courtiers who have been regarded as confidants have left you, and the knights who were once brothers and sisters have swords against each other, and rivers of blood have flowed. And then now the situation is more difficult than it was then, and I'm worried that what's wrong with you repeating the mistakes of the past? ”

"Your worries are unwarranted, I won't make the same mistake." Aya said, "What's more, if you take me away from Dragon City, will you be able to improve the situation?" The dragons have no leader, and they will only mess up faster"

"You don't have to worry about the affairs of Dragon City, I will leave here only after leaving for a full hand. Moreover, for the current situation, if we make progress in the King's Treasury as soon as possible, and form a situation of withdrawing wages from the Holy Light Sect, we will be able to better contain them, so that they will not have time to take care of Bretonia, or at least have the capital to negotiate. ”

Aya thought about it calmly and accepted Wang Lu's explanation. Now the King's Treasury is the most important strategic place for the Holy Light Cult, and its status is much higher than that of Bretonia, and once there is instability here, the Holy Light Church will do whatever it takes to calm the situation, which can indeed have a restraining effect.

But the previous question, she still can't let go: what does it mean to repeat the mistakes of the past?

Wang Lu said, "As for your so-called infallibility, you don't even realize where you are wrong, how can you have the confidence to say that you will not make mistakes?" ”

"Of course I know," Aya's voice gradually raised, "I have been reflecting on myself all the time in the past hundred years, and I know very well that as a king, I still have too many shortcomings. So this time I will lead my people to victory with a more cautious and humble attitude...... Absolutely, there will be no more failures

"Ridiculous." Wang Lu was more mean than ever, "Let's put it this way, with your current consciousness, you will definitely fail again because you don't know what qualities a true leader should have, and you think that you can be a qualified king by piling up your personal attributes to an infinite height?" That's the joke."

Speaking of this, seeing Aya's face angry, Wang Lu explained: "Aside from the difference in ability, just in terms of personality charm, who do you think is more suitable to be a king, you or me?" ”

Aya frowned, seemingly a little incomprehensible: "How could you ask such a stupid question?" ”

“…… Aya, you feel so good about yourself. In fact, it is your so-called charisma that determines that you are not destined to be a worthy king, because ......"

"Shut up, bastard, it's noisy."

Just as Wang Lu was about to seriously popularize Success Learning to Aya, the voice of the Golden King sounded faintly from the vast darkness.

"The Golden King?" Aya also put down the topic of Fang Cai in time and began to take the owner of the treasure house seriously, "It's you? ”

"Of course it's him, otherwise how could we cross thousands of rivers and mountains overnight to come to the treasure house of Taobao City? Now that the Holy Light Sect and the eastern city-states are fighting fiercely, the city is already under high martial law, and normal methods cannot be passed. However, we have a back door specially opened by the owner of the treasure trove. Wang Lu explained at the right time: "Nine hundred and ninety-nine human blood roses can perfectly pass the fifth layer and get the supreme reward of this layer, but if you collect more, you can also get an additional reward again." And teleporting a few of us from thousands of miles away here is the content of the extra reward. ”

The Golden King snorted coldly: "In just a few months, you can collect fifteen hundred human blood roses, you bastards are unexpectedly capable." The Golden King, in his usual mocking tone, gave a rare and relatively positive assessment, "However, the real challenge has only begun now, so there is no time for you to discuss the ridiculous ways of kingship." A bunch of lowly bastards don't have the luxury of reaching the king's realm, do what you have to do, bastards, don't let me down. ”

After speaking, the Golden King's voice gradually faded, and it was obvious that he could not appear in front of people for a long time.

"Okay, time is limited, so I'll briefly talk about the current situation." After the Golden King left, Wang Lu clapped his hands to attract the attention of the others, "Thanks to the back door opened for us by the Golden King, we have completed all the difficult conditions for the other party, and we have the qualification to clear the fifth layer." But as long as we are still deliberately targeted by the administrator, it is a matter of time before we are trapped and killed, and the Golden King cannot open the back door for us every time, so from now on, we must start to fight back, and we can't passively wait for the other party to make a move. ”

"How?" Aya asked.

"It's simple, start with the rewards. According to the principle of equivalent exchange, if the other party sets difficult conditions that are impossible to complete, it must prepare a rich reward that is impossible to achieve. ”

After Wang Lu finished speaking, he raised his right hand, and a gorgeous rain of flowers scattered all over the sky.

"The Administrator's nine hundred and ninety-nine roses have been collected, and now, it's time for you to cash in on your rewards."

Wang Lu roared, breaking the illusion he had set up here before - fortunately, the illusion can only be seen from the outside in, otherwise Aya will definitely give birth to right and wrong when she sees it.

Soon after the illusion was cracked, the Administrator's voice rang out in the depths of the endless darkness.

"Is that you? How can it be? ”

The voice that had always been calm and calm couldn't help but show a bit of shock, and after a while, a vague human face composed of black mist slowly emerged.

"So it's you?"

After a close look, the administrator finally recognized the identity of Wang Lu and his party.

"You are the ones who are making waves in Bretonia, how did you leave the King's Treasury? Even if you have space-type props, you want to get rid of the shackles of this artifact space...... Could it be that the ghost is helping you? ”

The Administrator had been in control of the Treasury for eighty years, and was already familiar with it, and soon deduced the truth. However, after learning the truth, he fell into great fear.

If it's that haunting ghost, then ...... No, calm down first, things don't necessarily get that bad.

The administrator calmed down and said lightly, "You just said that you could redeem rewards?" Yes, congratulations, according to the rules of the treasure house, I can exchange it for you even if it is an artifact, don't you Kyushu people come here to find artifacts? So ......"

Wang Lu sneered and interrupted, "Have you ever heard a fable about Kyushu?" A farmer came across an immortal, who had a little alchemy, and with a little finger, he could turn a stone into gold. The fairy asks the farmer what he wants. The farmer does not want mountains of gold and silver, nor does he want immortality, but only his fingers, which turn stones into gold. In the same way, I don't need any treasures from you, artifact fairy pets, I just need a level playing field - I want to compete with you for the position of administrator. ”

The Administrator's heart was shocked, and he roared angrily: "Joke daydreaming insatiable yellow-skinned bastard, you won't get anything"

"Really?" Wang Lu said with a smile, "If you have the ability, show me, let us get nothing, and roll out of the treasure house." But can you do it? I have collected all the nine hundred and ninety-nine human blood roses, and if you have the ability, you will trample the rules of the treasure house under your feet and swallow the rewards in front of me, can you do it? Show me."

The administrator fell silent. As Wang Lu said, he really couldn't do it, and he couldn't even extract the treasure treasury artifact to reward Wang Lu.

He is the administrator, but he has not obtained all the rights of the treasure house, and he can't do anything about the artifact, so at this time, he is simply unable to ride the tiger.

"Can't do it, can it? So, according to the rules, what is it when you give a task but can't cash out the reward? It's considered dereliction of duty, as the administrator of the Golden King, but it is difficult to perform even the basic duties, what kind of face do you have to steal the position of administrator at this time, and when? ”

"That's enough," the administrator roared, "you want fair play?" Okay, I'll give you a competition

As he spoke, the pitch-black space was lit up by a heavenly light, and the rain of flowers sprinkled by Wang Lu earlier was guided by this light, forming a glorious path pointing straight ahead, with no end.

"This is the path to the Administrator, if you have the guts, come here"
