Chapter 60. Li Weiji was dying to find a difference, Gu Hanzhang easily broke through a hundred levels
Ten soldiers immediately reported their names, and I pretended to praise them. "The future of the Holy Empire is guarded by us, the brilliance of the Cult is lit by us, and the greatness of God is guarded by us. I am amazed by your bravery, moved by your fearlessness, and admired by your fortitude. In my name, your names will be forever recorded in history. For a new and more beautiful life, for the sun of tomorrow, for the Pope. ”
"For a new and better life, for the sun of tomorrow, for the Pope." The soldiers in the camp all shouted spontaneously, as if they recognized their greatness. Third-class people are like this, willing to be an obedient dog if they give a little sweetness. But they can't be blamed, they're just deprived of the ability to think.
Before I left, I appointed a deputy commander, who will have equal authority to me, and his duty is to take care of my daily work reports. I chased after ten minions for about ten miles, and they all fell into the trap and fainted. Mu Tou lined them up and lit a bonfire around them.
"This is still the territory you patrol, tomorrow they should be discovered, I am now lighting a bonfire to defend against wild beasts, you quickly write a few lines next to it, just say that you have fallen into a trap, the soldiers are injured, you left them here in order to continue to hunt me." Mu Tou handed me a stick, and I wrote a message according to what he said.
"Come on." Mu Toru said.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"It's a fight, you have to work acting." With that, he attacked me, his fist sweeping in front of me. "Why don't you hide?" He asked.
"You're too fast, I haven't reacted yet." I answered truthfully.
He smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry I forgot that these skills are beyond your card rules." If you can't fight freely, let's fight by contract. It's a little slower, but it's good that you can sign a no-harm contract. We just need to make the traces of the battle. As he spoke, he wrote the contract out of thin air with his hand, and the gold-colored words looked very good in the moonlight, and this method of writing the contract was still beyond my understanding.
Once the contract is signed, the battlefield opens and dice and coins appear at the same time. I noticed a subtle movement, Mu Tou clasped his hands together and nodded lightly to the dice and coins, very respectfully.
I asked, "Why do you worship the dice and coins, which are a direct manifestation of God's will, and are not contrary to your beliefs?" ”
He laughed, "Dice and coins are true manifestations of providence, and God can't remove these two things from the rules and say that they are part of his own rules." Your education and history have been falsified. It's all for God's good. ”
Mu Tou set up his defense frame and said, "Unleash your unique card to attack me, the more unique the better." ”
I've used all the cards that I've often shown in front of soldiers, and some of the unique traces have been left on the battlefield. Mu Tou stood motionless, all of my attacks were easily fended off by him, and more importantly, I didn't see him use any card power. I've always been curious about this, but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to ask him.
In this way, under a one-sided attack, we made our way to the south of the empire. The Cult of God attaches great importance to this matter, and as the number of appearances increases, the Pope increases the level of the bounty. In the past thirty days, I have seen Mu Tou's head increase from 100,000 gold coins to 3 million gold coins. Such a large bounty attracted not only bounty hunters but also ignorant third-class people, all of whom dreamed of getting their hands on the money. Counting carefully, we have encountered more than 100 bounty hunters along the way, most of whom were beaten away by Mu Tou, and of course, some of them died under Mu Tou's hands.
As the chase deepened, my name became louder and louder, as many people had witnessed my battle with Mu Toru with the same skill, the same incredible. In the past thirty days, Mu Toru has taught me a lot of fighting skills, and these skills have broken through the rules of the gods. In the past, using cards was nothing more than using spells or commands to mobilize the power of the cards, and the more powerful ones were just transforming the cards into real objects. But the cards are completely different in Mu Tou's hands, he is more like a conductor, he is familiar with the characteristics of almost every card that exists on the continent, whether it is a combat card or a civilian card, he knows it all. He was able to easily avoid card attacks with the rhythm of the card and the air around him, and for the first time I realized that a card could be used in this way. Of course, these techniques should not be revealed to others.
The good news is that my father died, strictly speaking. Mu Tou orchestrated an assassination, and my father died in the fire. Death was, of course, just an illusion, and my father had crossed the border to a safe place to live, which gave me less worries and a better reason to hunt down Mu To. There is also good news that the Pope promises to personally meet with the hero who killed Mu To, and to grant the hero's request unconditionally.
There was a flash of intense light, and I beheaded him with a large knife in my hand in full view of everyone, and I walked down the street carrying his head, followed by a long crowd. They cheered, they shouted, they shouted, they sang, they groaned, they made all the expressions they should make. In the midst of the uproar, they sang the praises of the greatness of the Pope.
Mu To's head was frozen and sent to the capital, while I rested there. On a no-man's night, I rushed to the most famous ghost place in the area, and a cool crack in the ground led to which it leads. Mu Toru was already waiting at the entrance to the crack in the ground, grinning as he ate his sweets. This is my most intuitive understanding of Mu Tou, who loves to laugh and eat sweets. According to Mu Toru himself, he was born in a world where there is no happiness and no sweetness, so he must use a smile and a sweet tooth to drive away the shadow of childhood.
Of course Mu Tou is not dead, and in these days' chase games, we have all revealed a message to the public, intentionally or unintentionally: Mu Tou has gray hair. Over time, an irreversible impression will be born in the hearts of the public: those with gray hair are Mu Tou. As long as you take advantage of this, it is not difficult to create a fake animation.
"You only have one chance tonight, and our people are already waiting in the capital. If you succeed, we will go to the capital together; If you fail, forget about me and live well. "Mu Tou said that he was very concerned, and I have become good friends with him in the past thirty days. This guy is very simple and direct, you give his heart to him and he will give his heart to you.
Walking along the cracks in the ground, I encountered a lot of monsters along the way, but these monsters left under Mu Tou's appeasement. I even saw him talking to some monsters, and those monsters seemed to be his friends as well. But in any case, we ended up in the buried place of justice. A narrow hole that I had to hunch over to get into.
"It's all up to you, I'll leave before dawn before you come out. Remember, live well. He patted me on the shoulder and said. Once again, the height of the two contributed to the laughter. That was probably my last laugh, and I thought about it and went into the cave. I felt the ground shake slightly, and it was blurry behind me.
I crawled through the damp cave, wet and sticky dirt hanging all over my body. The dirt here has a foul stench, like the hybrid smell of animal feces and carrion. I had to pinch my nose to reduce the time it took to breathe, but the disgusting breath still drilled into my nostrils, and I really don't know how Mu Toru held on to it in the first place. The closer I got to the outlet, the stronger the smell became, and the faster my saliva was secreting, and I almost crawled to the outlet with my saliva on my face.
It's hard to tell what's going on, it's terrible, the air is full of green unknown gases, pungent and piercing. It has been silted here for thousands of years, and the smell of rotting corpses and feces has not dissipated. It was gradually difficult to breathe, and the air outside seemed to be unable to enter. I turned my head back into the narrow cavern, where the air, though foul, was a thousand times better than inside.
Mu Tou told me that there is a skeleton lion pig in this hole, the pig is a strange beast, the big one is like a cow, the small one is like a sheep, similar to a unicorn, the whole body has thick black hair, the eyes are bright and bright, and there is usually a horn on the forehead, commonly known as a unicorn. It has a high level of wisdom and understands human nature. Angry eyes are wide, they can distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, loyalty and treachery, and when they find a treacherous official, they touch him down with their horns, and then eat their stomachs. When people have conflicts or disputes, the unicorn can use its horns to point at the unreasonable party, and even put the horns against the people who deserve to die, which makes the offender shudder.
Before the new language was widespread, the character "law" was written as "灋", and "廌" was 獬豸. The Divine Cult deliberately modified the character "灋", because the Divine Cult was afraid that people would associate this strange beast with this word, and even more afraid that people would associate it with justice. Although the Cult of God claims to be the representative of justice, there is no one who fears justice more than the Cult itself. The Holy Empire does have laws in addition to canons, as well as so-called judges and law schools. The Pope says that the law is above all else, but the people of the Holy Empire know that the canon is above all else. The main purpose of the law is to settle civil disputes and criminal cases, and more importantly, it is used to stifle third-class people, after all, whether you have broken the law or not is completely up to the gods. For example, the law prohibits the overdose of hallucinogenic drugs, the third-class person who takes one milligram is an overdose, the second-class person who takes one kilogram is called an overdose, and the first-class person is not allowed to take hallucinogenic drugs at all because of the canon restrictions.
The Pig was born after the Righteous Card, and in order to protect the Righteous Card, it was stationed in this cave. Thousands of years later, the pig has long since died, but its belief in justice is not extinguished, although the body is gone, but there is still a dry bone to rely on. The pig attached its belief in justice to its own corpse, and under the erosion of time, the dry bones have been stubbornly devoid of spirituality, and some are only angry at injustice, and justice has become violence.
In such an environment, there is little chance of winning against the hedgehog, even though Mu Toru told me about the hedgehog's Achilles' heel. Time passed and I still didn't think about how to breathe effectively. If it was Mu Toh, what would he do? I was thinking about a way, but two red lights flashed in the thick green air, and I knew it was a pig.
The creaking sound of bones hitting was particularly harsh, and the red light grew brighter and brighter. I seized the last chance to take a breath of fresh air and immediately transformed the card into a thick-backed knife. As soon as the transmogrification was completed, I sensed the danger and quickly rolled to the right, but was still hit. It was only then that I could see that the bones of the hedgehog were also green, and it was extremely difficult to notice that they blended with the air around them, and I could not even be sure of its location if it were not for the red light that flashed in its empty eye sockets.
"Dodge, dodge all the time, only keep dodging, you can live." This is the way Mu Toru told me, he said that the horns of the pig are invincible, as long as you are hit by the horns, you will definitely die, the only way is to keep dodging. I held my breath and fixed my gaze on the red light, I wanted to rely on the movement of the red light to judge the attack of the hedgehog, but it was difficult. I don't even know what the shape of the pig is, and if you want to judge an attack in such an environment, you have to take a beating. The cost of being beaten may cost you your life, and it doesn't seem worth it.
I was thinking about whether it was worth it or not, when the pig attacked me, my front heart was beaten, the pain made me wake up instantly, the instinct of battle controlled my body to take a step back, this step unloaded some of the strength, and I rolled on the ground for several meters to stabilize. I touched my chest and there were no external injuries. The hedgehog may also be a tentative attack, so it doesn't use the horn that kills at the touch of a button.
In order to survive, I began to breathe in the thick green air, which smelled a hundred times worse than burnt cowhide, and my stomach was already churning. The hedgehog chased after me, and on several occasions was almost hit by the horns, and as I dodged more and more, the hedgehog plummeted. It's faster and more powerful than before, and its running makes the whole cavern tremble. I was forced to dodge intently, and the mental tension allowed me to forget the stench of the air for a while, and I was so used to the environment.
"You must kill the pig, its vertebrae are the key to open the treasure box. You already know the Achilles' heel of the hedgehog, but you only have one chance, and you must put a knife in its mouth before its horns can touch you. The mouth is connected to the skull, where its beliefs are condensed, and you just need to detonate your power. "I remembered Mu To's words, and the thick-backed knife in his hand was waiting for such an opportunity.
The hedgehog will only open its mouth slightly when attacking with its horns, and the opportunity will not come.
The Pig's attacks are getting faster and faster, but I've gotten used to it, and I can dodge its attacks with ease. After all, the hedgehog is a dead thing without intelligence, and its attacks only have a fixed pattern. What makes me strange is that although I am constantly dodging, I do not feel exhausted, and there is a strange energy drilling into my body. I kept thinking about the source of this energy, so much so that I missed several opportunities to fight back against the pigs. But I think it's not a good thing to miss out, and the more this strange energy, the better.
After about half an hour, I finally figured out the source of the energy, which was this green air. At first, the green in the air was too dense to be noticed, but as the number of breaths increased, the green in the air became lighter and lighter, and the energy gained became less and less, so I thought about air. This energy may be the energy of the Justice Card, although the card is sealed in a treasure box, the energy is filled with air, and the energy is combined with the air as time goes by, and the cave is almost sealed. In fact, corpse gas is poisonous, but I didn't expect the energy of the justice card to remove the toxicity, so the air in the cave was full of energy instead of harm.
Seeing that the green gas was getting lighter and fainter, and the energy in my body was getting more and more, and it would not be of much benefit to go around with the hedgehog, I took advantage of the hedgehog's mouth to open its mouth again and slashed the thick-backed knife into its mouth, and the knife light disappeared at the touch of a button, and then the bones peeled off and fell to the ground.
I picked up the intricately carved vertebrae and inserted it into the treasure box in the cavern. The box opened, and a unicorn ran towards me, snorting, the unicorn had already run into my body, I could feel it wreaking havoc in my body, and my muscles and bones were broken inch by inch, but I didn't feel pain, only heat, incomparably hot, just thinking that I could spit out a fire in my chest. Thinking like this, I literally spat out a fire, an almost transparent flame, and the rock in front of me immediately turned into molten slurry.
As the flames erupted, the body finally quieted down. I ran out of strength and collapsed to the ground. I tried to communicate with the cards, and a slight pain in my spine developed, and I knew I had succeeded. The card transformed, and a white flame ignited on the left arm, the unicorn arm? After another deep breath, I fell asleep peacefully, I really needed to rest. I didn't think I had slept long, because when I came out of the cave, it was only faintly light, and Mu Tou slept on a rock.
"It worked." Mu Tou suddenly sat up and said, "Very powerful power, a breath of flames, stronger than a phoenix." ”
"I'm curious about your natal card now, it should also be one of the seven virtues, right?" I asked.
"Sincerely." Mu Toru replied.
