Volume 5: The Elegant Tea Party (Remastered) Chapter 61: The Tea Party (Purpose 2)
As Kabran said, a player who can be an executor, almost no one will show a stupid side in this kind of thing. It's just that some people choose to follow their curiosity and continue to dig deeper, while some people choose to give up rationally.
"I thought you two were going to stay there! Doesn't Lord Death Knight have any idea of the riches that lie beneath it? In an oasis dozens of kilometers away from the ruins of Shasar, Walter stopped Alan, who was about to leave, and the past went with the wind. The old butler of the Helsing family looked surprised.
This was once the oasis where one of the six magic circles sealed on the first layer was located, and since the destruction of the magic circle, the Snake of Devouring Bodies has spent a lot of effort to establish a small teleportation point here using the remaining magic nodes here. This small waypoint construction technique is not difficult, and the teleportation array used by Naxxramas is a derivative of this waypoint, but due to the lack of a continuous and stable supply of mana, this small waypoint is very limited to the user, in addition to the need to consume a large number of mana crystals, the number of people who teleport is also greatly weakened, and can only be used as a temporary teleportation channel.
The past was sorting out the supplies of the two of them, and then they had to rely on their own skills to leave the Jerimanca Desert, so they prepared some spare props and equipment here in advance.
"That Iron Maiden is digging underground right now, isn't she? You attract attention on the bright side, let her sneak in to reap the benefits, it seems that Your Excellency the First Pillar is bound to get those riches! I actually sent two of your henchmen at once. This is not difficult to guess, many people think that this tea party is to determine the executor and the executor candidate, but in fact, the real candidate has already been decided, and at most there are a few vacant seats left for those who are not selected to compete for. And just as he and the past are considered to be Yu Bin's henchmen, Walter and Silas, who are also executors, are also the henchmen of the first pillar.
Although the Snake has made a lot of preparations for this tea party, no one knows what kind of danger will arise in the process of awakening the Lord of the Yellow Sand, and the insurance method is like Alan and the past following the wind, cooperating with each other and acting together to minimize the probability of accidents.
Walter was acting alone, not with Silas, and from that alone, Alan could already guess what the first pillar was up to.
After all, the Shahra Empire is an ancient kingdom at the end of the ancient era, although it has been sealed by the elves for tens of thousands of years, but the knowledge and technology possessed by this empire are bound to remain, even if these knowledge and technology are only the remnants of the ancient era, it is enough for the first pillar to peek into some secrets. Not to mention that in the palaces deep underground, there are probably some weapons and equipment from ancient times, which are great treasures.
"The danger is too great, and the uncertainty is too high! Neither I nor Ice Whisper thinks those things don't matter to us. Ailan shook his head, indicating that neither he nor Yu Bin had any interest in those wealth, "What's more, I don't think Your Excellency the First Pillar wants us to interfere with it, right?" ”
Walter smiled and nodded, "Thank you Lord Death Knight for your generosity!" My master is willing to share a portion of the acquired technology with His Excellency the Sixth Pillar as a reward for the kindness of the two of you! ”
"These things, you should talk to that guy in the ice language! The premise, of course, is that the woman can get enough benefits from the tomb that has been sealed for tens of thousands of years. "Truth be told, Alan has a lot of doubts about whether Silas will succeed." What's more, although we have withdrawn, it does not mean that others are willing to quit too! ”
Walter didn't care: "It's okay, it's also expected by the owner." ”
"Then I wish you a great harvest!" After speaking, Alan picked up the supplies that had been prepared with the wind, and turned around and left the oasis.
A few minutes later, the teleportation array lit up again, and the necromancer had killed you and the Voodoo Warlock Remnant Willow in front of Walter's eyes.
"It looks like the two of you have completed their mission!"
"Hey! Old ghost, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk! That bastard of Doles has chicken feathers as an arrow, and we're going to be responsible for sweeping up all that trash! The voodoo warlock said angrily, "What, aren't you in a hurry to go back and serve tea and water to your master, and stay here to watch the play?" ”
Walter had already learned the foul mouth of the broken flower and willow many times, so naturally he didn't want to argue with the other party about it.
Seeing that Walter didn't react, Remnant Flower Willow also felt that he was bored with himself, and turned around and killed you to prepare to leave the oasis to help Dorce clean up the players who were wandering around the ruins.
As he passed by Walter's side, the evil spirit mage, who had been silent, lowered his voice and said coldly: "I saw that mad lion guy enter, you better be prepared." ”
As for where he went in, he didn't need to be told by the evil spirit mage, Walter knew what this guy was referring to. Obviously, Silas's small actions did not hide from this delicate guy.
At this time, Jean the Wild Lion was running at full speed along the trails left by Kabran, and the strong physique of the Lion Clan allowed him to easily maintain long-term high-intensity exercise, and even carried a person on his shoulder while running.
Jean's running movement brought the unconscious Avelina to her senses, and after giving Malik the magic gem, she left the square in the middle of the ruins to find the magic node that had not yet been discovered, but unfortunately, she was soon surrounded by the yellow sand slaves, and then died again.
After the resurrection, Averina was lucky enough to appear in the place where Jean was fighting several players, and she fell into a deep coma after being hit by the aftermath of the battle, and the last image in her consciousness was a three-meter-tall golden lion venting its power in a frenzy.
"Here? I ......"
"Awake? You're a woman of good luck! Even if he was carrying a person, it didn't affect Jean's movements, and after a spinning kick repelled the yellow sand slave who rushed over, he quickly broke away from the opponent's warning range with the speed of running, "I thought you had taken that magic gem to the temple in the middle of the ruins." ”
Avelina's consciousness finally returned to her body, and she realized that she was being carried on her shoulder, and it was Jean, the mad lion who had given her the magic gem to her not long ago.
"Did you save me again?" After being betrayed by her beloved husband and feeling hopeless and helpless, just a little help from others also touched this woman greatly.
"Don't be stupid, woman! You're just resurrected right next to me, and I'm missing a good bait! Jean's tone was still so cold, but in Avelina's ears, it sounded louder than any sweet words. If you're okay with it, get down and go by yourself, I don't want to be a human transporter all the time! ”
Jumping off Jean's shoulder, Avelina as a dark elf is only as tall as Jean's chest compared to Jean who is a lion, and she looks petite. But Jean didn't pity her at all, and instead of slowing down, he ran faster.
Luckily, Avelina already has the profession of Drow Hunter, and speed is also her strength.
"Where are we going now, Lord Jean?" Looking around, Averina was sure that this was definitely not the ruins of Shasar, as it was clearly an underground ruin.
"This is the core area of the Shahra Empire, and the ruins on the ground can only be regarded as the slums of the Shahra Empire, this is the center of power of the Shahra Empire, and what the ancient elves sealed is also here, not the garbage that has nothing outside!" Jean led Avelina through the gaps between the palaces, and their agility allowed them to ignore some terrain obstacles, "As for where we are going, see the tallest palace!" ”
Avelina looked up and saw that the towering palace that almost connected heaven and earth was so obvious that it was impossible not to see it.
"Yakumo Blue and her bastard master must be staying at the teleportation point now, waiting for me to throw myself into the net, so I won't run headlong like a fool, it's not been a day or two that that woman wants to kill me!" Jean said in a calm tone, "I thought I would definitely lose a lot this time, but I didn't expect someone to leave some clues. Hehe, no matter what those guys want to do while this tea party is coming, at least they must have another way to get out of here! ”
Jean didn't say much, but Avelina got some surprise information from it.
"Is the Yakumo Blue you are talking about the subordinate of Yakumo Purple?"
"That's right, one of the same executors as me, No.15 [Hazy Moon] Yakumo Blue!"
"Aren't you companions?" Avelina was confused, until now, the Snake in the eyes of players was completely a mysterious organization with extremely high execution and strong level of cooperation, but now, Avelina learned from Jean that the two executors in this organization were hostile to each other, and even one of the apostles wanted to kill the other executor. Of course, this kind of thing surprised Avelina greatly.
Jean glanced at the woman coldly: "Companion? Don't be silly! Whether apostles or executors, everyone who joins the Serpent has their own purpose. Do you think that all those guys are selfless saints? ”
"So you ...... too"
"That's right! Me too! The Eater Serpent was able to give me a chance to do all of this, so I joined! If one day this organization can't let me achieve my goals, I will not hesitate to leave him! ”
Avelina didn't ask Jean what his purpose was, she subconsciously felt that it was a secret that she couldn't recover.
The two struggled their way through the area where the monsters roamed, and as they stepped into the square in front of the palace, the sound of a fight coming from the square made Jean stop running.
"Someone is fighting in the square!" Avelina has a better sight than Jean, and the dark elves are more advantageous in this environment, "It's two halflings and a guy who looks like a ghost, and doesn't look like an undead!" ”
"[Demon] Cabran Rose! Sure enough, it's the traces left by this guy! Jean immediately revealed the identity of the other party, "Those two halflings, I'm afraid they are the Gabrib brothers!" ”
"Gabe and Ribu, known as the [Short Brothers]? They are also the executors of the Eater Serpent? "It's not clear who the [demon is], because few people have heard of Labran's name, but the brothers Gabe and Ribu are famous among the halflings, and the two brothers once worked together to kill an elite sixth-order demonized orangutan, and their exquisite cooperation and superb combat skills have convinced many players to form their own guild.
Avelina didn't expect that even the two brothers would join the Devouring Serpent.
"Executor candidates, to be precise! They are not qualified to be official executors yet! ”
Even the Gabe and Rib brothers are not qualified? Is the other guy who is fighting with the two brothers even better? [Demon]? I've never heard of such a name!
"You're late, Gianni the Lion?" Kablan's voice came from the square, "Miss Silas has been in for almost ten minutes, and you're the fifth to get here!" ”
"Want to help?" Jean said as he put on his blade claws.
With a false move, the weapon in Kablan's hand was a slender bayonet, and a trace of electricity shot from the tip of the bayonet hit a monster not far away, and the enraged monster let out a roar in this direction, and at the same time rushed over to shred the fool who dared to provoke him.
Due to their position, the two halfling brothers had to abandon their attack on Kablan and turn to deal with the trouble-stirring monster.
Kabulan, who was temporarily freed from the battle, did not take the opportunity to fall into the well, but put away his weapon and retreated: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't dare to let you get close, my small body can't stand the blow of the lion warrior monk." ”
The brief conversation between the two made Avelina feel the strangeness of the mysterious organization of the Eater Serpent once again, and among the five people present, except for him, they could be said to be members of the Eater Snake, but not only did they not have any friendship and cooperation with each other, but showed undisguised hostility and defense everywhere.
"Don't listen to this guy's! There must be some great treasure in that palace! This guy has definitely hooked up with that Iron Maiden, ready to swallow those treasures to himself! Gabe, the elder brother of the halfling brothers, said loudly while attacking the monster, "Gene the Lion, why don't we join forces to kill this guy and then rush in and divide the treasure inside?" Our two brothers are not very demanding, half is enough, or four or six points, or even three or seven points! ”
"How can you two treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs! I just don't want the two of you to just go in and die! Kablan spread his hands innocently.
Averina didn't know who to trust at this time, she could only look at the mad lion beside her. His life was saved by this man, so no matter what decision he makes, Avelina is ready to follow him all the way to the end.
Jean stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips, he hadn't rested since he was separated from Yakumo Blue, and he hadn't eaten or drunk anything, his physical condition seemed to be pretty good at this time, but he was actually almost at the limit. After all, with a long period of intense exercise and the need to release various skills and fights along the way, even a warrior monk can't withstand such intense consumption.
"Kablan, you should have a way out of here safely, right? Tell me and I'll leave immediately! ”
