Chapter 137: Bekaz's Conspiracy
Whether it was Orlanardo or Rococo, neither of them was mentally prepared for Conte's appearance.
As the leader of the Cult of Creation, Orlanardo never knew a Nopra merchant named Conte, although he often communicated with the big names of the Free Federation. As for Rococo, she couldn't find any information about Conte's NPC on the game forum materials stored in her NPC system database.
However, the reality is that such a mysterious powerhouse with a powerful strength that is completely inconsistent with the appearance of a businessman has appeared in the position that should have been Bekaz in the right place. And judging from the actions of him and the bone dragons who cooperated to easily kill the knights and priests who attacked him at the head of the city, this person was not only at least a hundred-level existence, but also shockingly retained a complete self-consciousness and intelligence—another owner of a godhead fragment.
What the hell is this person, and how could he get involved with Bekaz so quietly? Orlanardo and Rococo had no clue about this, and they even suspected at first that it was some kind of trick on Bekaz to disguise herself as another person's disguise, but as the battle progressed, Conte's completely different fighting style from that of Beccaz, the plague mage, completely dispelled this idea for the two of them.
Rococo frowned, this kind of unknown identity unknown origin but really powerful enemy, is the last thing she wants to encounter, although from the standpoint of the godhead fragment seeker, such a godhead fragment owner who could not be found in the game materials in the previous life took the initiative to send it to the door, but at the same time, if the other party was caught off guard because of this, the originally planned action was destroyed or even caused unplanned losses, it would be more than worth the loss.
And Orranardo also has a solemn expression, no, it should be said that it is more appropriate to say that it is with a fierce anger, this legend of the human race who has spent his life guarding the goddess faith and the order of the continent, this moment is really angry because of what Conte has done, not only because Conte is wreaking havoc on the warriors of the Knights of the Temple and the Goddess of Creation Sect at the head of the Holy City, but also because Conte is a person with the favor of the goddess - in the world of collapse, he can retain himself because of the fragments of the godhead of the goddess of creation, In Oranado's eyes, of course, it is the favor of the goddess - but instead of wanting to contribute to the restoration of order in this world, he uses the power given by this goddess to do so.
Although Orlanardo has always given people the image of a kind and wise old man when communicating with Rococo, in fact, if it really involves the issue of principled faith, Orlanardo is an out-and-out fanatic, such as Conte and Becaz, these people's actions are blasphemous behavior in Orlanardo's eyes, and naturally, Orlanardo will not have a trace of gentleness in the face of such people.
"I didn't expect that in addition to Bekaz, there would be such despicable self-depraved people in this world."
Without a bit of the previous drizzle, Oranado's tone was full of shuddering anger at the moment, but when Roco could rush out for him to settle accounts with Conte, who was doing evil with the bone dragons everywhere at the walls of the Holy City, Orlanardo surprised her and didn't take any next action.
Speaking of which, the two of them are indeed in a bit of an awkward situation, Oranado is not the true owner of the Godhead Shard, after leaving the Sanctuary, Oranado as he said can temporarily retain the original combat experience, other self-will will be lost, which is equivalent to becoming an ordinary NPC that has only been specialized in combat, and Rococo's original fairy state is also time-limited, and there is no way to fight as freely as Bekaz and Conte do.
All the preparations of the two of them are to deal with Bekaz, who this new Conte is and what kind of ability, Rococo and they don't know at all, so whether it is Rococo, who has little experience in using the original fairy ability, or Oranado, who can only retain basic combat experience after going out, it will feel quite tricky.
Of course, there is no better way, if it is not Rococo here, but Oranado to get this ownerless Godhead fragment and become the true owner of the Godhead fragment, then all the problems will be solved.
As a level 120 superpowerhouse who has surpassed the limit of level 100, Oranado alone, who has lost most of his self, can contend with Bekaz head-on, and even has a high chance of repelling him, if it is Oranado who really has his self, only level 100 Bekaz obviously can't hold it at all. And the new Conte, since he is a human, will not be stronger than Orlanardo, a person who transcends the limit, and with Rococo, a half-primordial elf, to help him, there will be no problem in taking him down.
The more Rococo thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea, and as for whether Orlanardo would agree to Rococo, he was not worried, before Oranado said that he was not willing to take the fragment of Godhead as his own, in addition to his blind obedience to the goddess Arya who chose Rococo instead of his will as a world saver, more in fact, there was also a reason for the confidence that even if he didn't do it under the circumstances at the time, with the design of the two, as long as Bekaz dared to come to the Holy City, he would never be able to escape. And now the situation has changed, although in the future, because Godhead fragments generally cannot be automatically separated unless the NPC character dies once, so how to recover this fragment on Oranado's body may take a bit of brains, but relatively speaking, as long as you can seize this opportunity, maybe you can get a total of two Godhead fragments on Bekaz and this guy called Conte at once.
"Lord Oranado, I thought about it for a while, this Godhead Fragment should be fused by you for the time being," Rococo, who had considered the key points before and after, said to Oranado, "After you become the owner of the Godhead Fragment, we will have the ability to defeat Bekaz and his accomplices together and recover the Godhead Fragments on them at once." ”
To Rococo's surprise, Oranado shook his head with a wry smile.
"No, Emissary, I'm afraid I can't do that."
"Huh?"
"Lord Emissary, why do you think it is clear that the undead have launched a general attack on the Holy City, but Bekaz himself has never appeared, and only that mysterious man is leading the bone dragon on the edge of the Holy City so loudly?"
Rococo wasn't stupid, although she had taken it for granted that she was bent on recovering Bekaz's godhead, but after being mentioned by Orlanardo, she quickly understood why Orlanardo said he couldn't do that.
Obviously, Bekaz also knew that even if Orlanardo was an ordinary NPC with no ego, he was not completely sure that he would be able to defeat this Terran legend, not to mention that he had fought with Bekaz in the nearby continental border area as an original goblin before, Bekaz didn't know that she, the primordial elf, was still a half-hung person with a time limit for activity, and with the caution of the plague mage, he would naturally consider the possibility that she, a mysterious fairy girl, had come to the Holy City to help the Goddess of Creation Sect.
Knowing that the Holy City was likely to have two strong enemies that he was not sure to deal with, Bekaz still came, and his confidence was obviously the helper named Conte in front of him. At present, Conte is leading a group of bone dragons, and he is obviously capable of breaking through the outer walls of the Holy City and rushing directly to the side of the Holy Hall in the center of the city, but he wants to wreak havoc on the outside of the Holy City, and it is obvious that he is luring Oranado and Rococo, who are supposed to be stationed in the Holy City as the last line of defense, to come out, so as to give Bekaz hidden in the shadows a chance to sneak up on the Holy Temple.
This is not a great scheme, it can even be said to be a righteous plan, if Rococo and the others just don't come out, then what awaits them is Conte and the elite army of the undead to eat away at the outer defense of the Holy City little by little, and then enter the city and destroy the entire Aryvar from the outside to the inside. As a plague necromancer, Arya Val's transformation from a holy city to a dead city is absolutely welcome for Bekaz, but for Orlanardo, it is an absolutely unacceptable fact.
Therefore, even if they know that they may give Bekaz a chance, there is still a great possibility that Oranado will choose to go out of the city to face Conte, of course, it is naturally possible for Rococo to come forward here, but considering whether Rococo is in the Holy City is still only a suspense for Bekaz, in order to be able to use this to maximize the benefits in the next battle, it is most reasonable for Orlanardo to come forward here.
Under such a premise, if Orranardo, who attacked from the Templar, showed the autonomous intelligence that only a true godhead possessor would have, Beccaz and Conte would naturally be able to imagine the possibility of Orlanardo fusing the fragments of the Templar's Godhead. The goal has changed from capturing an ownerless godhead fragment to killing the guide Orlanardo to capture the fused godhead fragment on his body, this difficulty is not as simple as a simple matter of several times for Bekaz and them, it is very likely that in the end, Conte will choose to retreat directly, and Bekaz, who is hidden in the shadows, will not come out at all, and when the time comes, it will be Rococo and their bamboo basket to draw water.
“…… But what do we do? ”
Rococo, who figured out the key to this, pressed his temples with some headaches, but it was Orlanardo who calmed down first.
"Actually, it's nothing, Lord Emissary, as we discussed before, please put away the Godhead fragments as soon as possible, but the next thing to deal with Bekaz may have to be entrusted to you with carte blanche again."
