Volume 2 Night City Chapter 13 Konya and the Demon Tower (Part II)

Konya turned away unhurriedly. At this time, the Demon Lord had already stood in front of his master, he used his body to block the dark shockwave of the Wraith, and then swung the giant sword in his hand to destroy the Wraith in one fell swoop. However, it didn't take long for the spirits to gradually recover.

"It's not a good idea to fight like this. Although the Demon Lord can consume some of her vitality every time she disperses the Wraith, the Wraith has just finished replenishing her energy, so it should take a while. I don't want to waste mana here...... "Konya pondered, "I can't speak, but I think I can understand what I'm saying...... You can give it a try.'

Thinking of this, Konya said to the wraith, "Ability and language mastery." Then he shouted, "Hey! Listen, if you can help me find a Eidolon, I can help you fulfill your wish! ”

The wraith apparently hesitated for a moment, then seemed to hesitate.

"You don't want to stay in this tower forever until you die, do you?" Cornia sarcastically said, "Even if you can keep compensating yourself with that garbage, what's the point of going on like this?" ”

At this time, Conya saw that the resentful spirit did not react, and said, "If you don't believe that I can help you fulfill your wishes, I can show you a little bit of strength first." With that, Konya commanded the Demon Lord, "Demon Lord, show her a little bit of your abilities!" ”

The Demon Lord's body that received the order gradually glowed with a blood-red glow, and then, with the Demon Lord's roar, powerful energy immediately burst out from him. The objects within a hundred meters of the surrounding area were swept into fragments and tatters, and the resentful spirits were scattered for a long time before slowly recovering, but they looked much weaker.

"How's it going? I guess that's what I believed. If you want to keep fighting, I can accompany you. However, in my opinion, you should be the first to fall. Konya said triumphantly, "Otherwise, I'll hear from you first, and then we'll go find the Eidolon." ”

Konya looked at the wraith, who seemed to hesitate for a moment before slowly turning around and drifting slowly towards the trees in the distance.

"Do you mean let me go along?" Konya thought for a moment, "Okay, let's go over and take a look, there's no way to find it yourself." So, Konya immediately followed with the Demon Lord.

Konya followed the wraith around and around to a secluded valley, and under a thick dead wood in the valley, Konya found a crimson pendant necklace hanging from the crevice of the rubble, and if you looked closely, you could see that there seemed to be a faint dark energy emanating from the necklace.

The wraith came to the necklace and hovered overhead.

"Let me see this?" Konya thought. So, she stepped forward and picked up the necklace. This is a necklace with exquisite workmanship, but it seems to be quite old, the color of the whole necklace has faded a lot, the original silver-white chain has also been rusted, and there are many cracks on the half-peach-shaped pendant.

"This must be the vehicle for the spirit to cling to. If I crush it now...... Conya thought evilly, "Forget it, I'll have to ask her to help me find the Eidolon......

"What? Who do you want me to give this to? Konya asked.

The wraith ignored Konya's question, still slowly lingering near the necklace.

"Isn't it?" Konya tilted her head and said, "Is that where I buried this necklace?" ”

The wraith didn't react, still wandering around on its own.

"Let me dispose of it? …… Probably not......"

"Have you eaten?"

“……”

Konya speculated like this.

"Did you find something exactly like this one?"

Hearing this, the resentful spirit suddenly stopped its wandering figure, and slowly condensed its entire body into the dark energy of the necklace, making the dark energy lingering around the necklace more and more dense.

"I see, let me find an exact one, it shouldn't be difficult." Konya muttered to herself, then shouted into the necklace, "Wait, don't you disappear, come out and help me find the Eidolon!" ”

So, the wraith slowly released from the dark energy of the necklace and floated slowly into the distance.

"Over there?" Konya immediately ran up after the wraith. Along the way, they also encountered a few lonely adventurers, as well as some relatively weak monsters, but these were absorbed by the wraiths one by one. "This guy must have lived on this level for a long time, or maybe he is so familiar." Looking at the resentful spirits leading the way in front of her, Konya thought to herself, "I've been surviving by eating others for a long time, how much food have I eaten?"

In this way, Konya followed the wraith over the mountains and mountains for a long time, and finally came to a very hidden cave. The wraith lingered at the entrance of the cave for a while, and then returned to the energy of the necklace.

"So that's it?" Konya excitedly put away her necklace, removed the cover around the hole, and walked inside.

This is a very narrow cave that will pass through an adult width. The cave walls are covered with a large number of glowing plants, giving a clear view of what's inside. She hadn't gone far before she saw an adult swamp long-snouting nomad sitting in the corner at the end of the cavern, with a wooden staff beside it, dressed in a slightly more elaborate costume than the average adventurer.

When the night spirit sensed that someone was entering, he immediately picked up the staff beside him and raised his head, watching Konya's every move. Konya walked not far from the Eidolon and said to it disdainfully, "Are you the Eidolon from the Broken Wood Mountain?" Someone asked me to take you out. ”

"Who are you? How do you know about me? The Night Spirit asked warily.

"Me...... How do you say good...... Well...... Even if it's a traveler passing by Broken Wood Mountain. Anyway, there's a little imp of your clan there who says if I take you out of here, give me your ancestral fishing cheats. Konya said.

"Fishing cheats?" The Night Spirit frowned and thought for a long time, then said suspiciously, "I think it should mean that...... In that case, it's no problem to hand it over to you, and the cheats aren't very useful to us anyway. ”

"Then it's settled."

"That's fine. But what can you do to get me out? I also know a little bit about the Demon Sealing Tower......" The Night Spirit asked.

"You don't have to worry about that. I ask you, how are you doing now? If the loss of vitality accelerates, will it be able to hold on for a while? ”

"I don't think it's a problem, after all, I've only been in the tower for a short time. A short period of life consumption, even if it is one or two times faster, it should still be able to sustain it. The night spirit replied.

"That's good. I think it won't be long before the time for my teleportation spells is up. "I'll pack you up before I can take you out of the tower." Before I let you out, you must hold on, don't die inside. ”

Although the night spirit didn't quite know what Konya wanted to do, she nodded and said, "Just do as you say." ”

At this moment, a large number of noisy noises suddenly came from the outside of the cave.

"What's going on?" Konya asked, turning her head and looking at the hole.

"I guess it's the goblin shamans." "They are the few goblin shamans who can survive on the second floor of the Demon Sealing Tower, there are about a dozen of them, and their equipment is much better than that of ordinary goblin shamans. They usually attack creatures that have just been transferred here or lone adventurers in order to rob them of their energy and supplies and maintain their vitality. I've dealt with them a few times since I came here. Later, I didn't want to waste too much mana here, so I hid. I guess they're coming. I'm going to get their attention first, and then let's see if we have an opportunity to run away and talk about a different place. ”

"There's no time left!" Konya said aloud, then raised her staff and said, "Demon Devourer of Hunger." As the chanting spell ended, a large, lilac demon that looked like a puddle of ooze appeared beside Konya. Layers of mud-like substance were constantly tumbling on its body, faintly lingering with faint dark energy, and it was completely faceless, unable to find hands and feet.

"It's going to swallow you in your stomach, you have to hold on, don't get digested by its stomach acid." Konya said irrefutably.

"This ......," before the night spirit could finish speaking, Cornya commanded the Hungry Devourer to pounce on it. The mud rolling on the Devourer of Hunger immediately enveloped the Eidolon and gradually sucked it into his body. Afterwards, Konya tossed a pitch-black crystal and shouted, "Shadow Demon Seal!" In an instant, strong dark energy continued to surge out from Konya's staff, and was continuously transmitted to the Hungry Devourer through the pitch-black crystal, and in a short time, the Hungry Devourer was surrounded by powerful dark energy. After another moment, as the dark energy on the staff of Konia faded, the Devourer of Hunger was immediately absorbed into the pitch-black crystal. Konya immediately put away the crystal.

At this time, the goblin shaman outside the cave had already rushed in front of Konya. They swung all kinds of staffs, emitting energy of different attributes, and attacked Konya. At this moment, a white glimmer suddenly appeared on Konya's body. "Looks like it's almost time to teleport spells." Konya thought. At the moment when the Goblin Shaman's attack was about to reach her, Konya disappeared into the cavern on the second floor of the Sealed Demon Tower, leaving behind a group of bewildered Goblin Shamans, standing there dumbfounded.

"That's it." With her arms on the table and her chin in her hands, Konya continued, "After that, I'll send it back to Broken Wood Mountain." ”

"That's how you brought the night spirit out of the Demon Sealing Tower." Miria said, "And then you broke down the Devourer of Hunger?" ”

"Pretty much." Konya replied, "Although the night spirit was slightly injured inside, it was healed quickly after it came out, and I think it should be basically healed after resting." ”

"So, you've learned a great fishing spell, right? You can have fun fishing in the future. Eugari said.

"What a fishing spell!" Hearing this, Konya immediately slapped the table angrily and stood up, and said dissatisfiedly, "These liars. It's not a fishing spell at all! Just spells that enhance underwater combat capabilities. It's barely a 'fishing' spell! ”

"Haha, that's right...... Yujiali comforted her embarrassedly, "that's not bad, at least you can catch a fish, and you won't be deceived." ”

"Not really!" Konya said angrily, "I'm the most hateful, the most hateful. I don't want to go fishing underwater! Hum! With that, Konya turned her head and sat down.

"And what happened to Shatterwood's investigation into the arson attack on the Eidolls?" Yugari continued to ask.

"I don't know!" "I haven't been back to that village since, but after sending the Night Spirit to the mountains and forests, I took the cheats and headed for the Night City." However, I heard that they rarely go to the Eternal City to do business anymore. ”

"I guess that's the end of it." Miria said helplessly, "After all, if the investigation related to the sealing mage is not handled by the guild alliance itself, there will basically be no results." However, there shouldn't be anything going on after those night spirits, even if they evade the rules of the Guild Alliance through some improper means, but if they want to send a sealing mage again, I think it's still unlikely. ”

"That's the way it goes." Yugari sighed and said, "I'd love to help them, but in our current situation, it's unlikely that we'll ever go back because of this." ”

"We're all together now. What are you going to do after that? Go back? Li Yaqi asked.

"Almost. I think we'll go early tomorrow morning to see if there's a clipper boat to Jumbo Bay. I've been here for a few days, so it's time to go back as soon as possible to save everyone from worrying. Eugari said.

"Well, I also want to go back and ask Chu Yun if there is any news of Linghu and them later." Miria chimed in.

"However, I still want to stay in Treasure Bay for a few more days, that grand auction is about to open in a few days, how about we go back after the auction?" Eugari asked.

"That's great." Miria happily agreed, "We can stop by Treasure Bay and take another stroll around Jumbo Bay to see what nice clothes we have." I've heard that the pearls are so famous that we can go to the jewelry store together afterwards. ”

"Forget it." Brala objected.

"What do you think? Konya. Yugari asked, looking at an angry Conya.

"I'm casual, I don't think there's anything I'm interested in, but if there's an auction, it's okay to participate." Konya replied.

"Well, so am I. You might be able to buy something good. Li Yaqi said excitedly.

"But I'd like to ask ......," said Conya dissatisfied, "why did we book such a crowded room, when there are so many better rooms to choose from?" ”

"Well......" Yugari explained awkwardly, "because I've been a little tight lately, and I have to buy a ticket to Jumbo Bay later, so I'll ...... it."

"Okay. I'll just say, fortunately, the previous bounties were all in Eugari's, or if you buy something at the auction, you probably wouldn't even have the money for tomorrow's ferry ticket. Konya looked at Li Yaqi and said sarcastically.

"What?! Why blame me? Li Yaqi said angrily.

"Yike...... Don't quarrel...... "Yugari persuaded awkwardly, "I think there should be no problem. Oops, I almost forgot, but Yaqi just won the pet contest in Night City yesterday, so we still have some savings. ”

"Huh?" Li Yaqi said in surprise, "Do you want me to pay for the ticket?" Why? ”

"Didn't you say you would listen to me in the future?" Yu Jiali squinted at Li Yaqi and said.

"This ...... All right...... Count me out of luck. Li Yaqi said aggrievedly.

"Are we going to sea on a merchant ship?" Miria asked.

"Well, I checked with the innkeeper before going upstairs, and I've heard that you can find a 'suitable' merchant ship at the nearby dock bar." Eugari replied.

"Suitable?" Li Yaqi muttered quietly.

"What's wrong? Not satisfied? Yujiali glared at Li Yaqi and asked.

"No, it's nothing......"

After discussing the itinerary for the next day, everyone washed up and went to bed.

"Jiali, are you asleep?" Miria, who was lying across from Yugari, asked in a whisper.

"Not yet, what's wrong?" Yugari said softly.

"I'm thinking, when everything is taken care of here, I want to go home."

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Isn't it dangerous? ”

"It's okay. It's just that I've been out for a while, and I haven't heard from home, so I'm just a little worried. Don't worry, although Quelstan has been at war all year round, it is mainly concentrated near the border and some military bases, and my home is still very safe. Previously, the Apocalypse Revolutionary Army had only attacked the Magic Association and some border manors. I'm going to be fine. ”

"Well, I'll go with you then, right?"

"No, I'm going back this time mainly to understand the situation at home and the current situation in Quelstan. Should be back soon. I don't think it's a problem, but I'm still a little worried. When it is more peaceful and stable, I will invite you to my house again. ”

"Well, if you need any help, just ask me. I wish the days of peace would come sooner. ”
