Chapter 17: The Third Ring! (below)
"You're Anthony, and you're Eric, aren't you?
"You wrote "The Sun of Innocence", right? The 'E' signed by the hibiscus flower at home is Eric, right?
"Because you're a lover of deep reasoning, you've long found out that Canspa and Simon are having an affair, but you can't make a noise in a tangled state of mind, so you're extremely depressed, right!?"
Mu Yan's series of questions broke the tranquility and saved himself.
The grumbling flower's open mouth slowly closed, and the vines with fangs and claws drooped down.
It slowly placed Mu Yan on the ground.
After landing on the ground, Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but the hot pain from the scars on his body made him gasp again.
Surya was stunned by this scene, and she had to endure the worry in her heart and continue to watch from afar.
The Resentful Flower let out a low roar, as if talking to Mu Yan.
He sat on the ground and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He said, "I don't understand it, but I think you're telling me to keep talking." ”
The vines of the Wraith Flower gathered up the vines, formed a bracket, and rested the huge corolla on it, like a child crouching on the ground with his hands on his knees.
"Speaking of which we are very similar, we all belong to literary and artistic youth to a certain extent." He smiled. "So I can understand your pursuit of 'beauty'. Canspa must have been beautiful when she was younger, right? Beauty makes you stunted and lose your mind. So you go on the offensive desperately and throw yourself into a beautiful love without hesitation, and there is nothing wrong with saying that you are dedicated to it.
"Love is really enviable...... he sighed, "Speaking of which, I can come here because of someone's sad and great love." Would you like to hear me tell an inconsequential story about his love? ”
The huge corolla swayed up and down, as if nodding.
"His name is Zayx, and he was born in Manarola, a beautiful seaside fishing village......"
Mu Yan told the story of Zayx, the Resentful Flower, or Anthony listened very attentively, and a few small birds landed on his vines and did not find them.
“…… Therefore, he resolutely threw himself into necromancy that can resurrect the dead, and was expelled from the Turing Empire for this. Maybe you don't know why he suddenly gained such power, but in fact it was thanks to him, and now he lives under the White Rock Mine, obsessed with experiments. You are also his test subject. ”
Seeing that the other party was listening carefully, he gradually changed his words.
"So you see, even though he is countless times stronger than us mortals, he cannot follow his own heart, and is struggling with the pain of losing his beloved, how can you believe that you can succeed in revenge?"
As if stimulated by his sudden questioning, the surrounding vines suddenly flew like crazy, stabbing at him in unison. The Wraith Flower herself opened her mouth wide and roared angrily, as if to retort loudly.
Not to be outdone, Mu Yan continued to question loudly:
"Am I not right? If you're determined to get revenge, why are you so distracted from taking care of the hibiscus flowers in your yard?
"Since you're not geographically restricted at all, why don't you turn Nightlight into a living hell? Don't kill rivers of blood to complete the revenge you've always dreamed of!? No matter how bad you are, you can slash that pair of dog men and women, why don't you do it!? ”
The Wraith Flower fell silent again, and the windy vines came to a standstill in midair.
"In your little yard, the hibiscus flowers are blooming just right, and I have checked the shower and the bucket, and it will take at least three months to ignore the thick ash. So you've been secretly taking care of your flowers, right?
"The flower language of hibiscus is 'gentle persistence'. Tell me, Anthony, what else do you want to hold onto? Do you use patience to influence Canspa? Do you expect her conscience to find out? Are you afraid of killing Simon and leaving the town leaderless? Tsk, respectable, pathetic, ridiculous!! ”
He said coldly: "Do you know, almost all the words you left behind were burned by her, whether it was a letter or a manuscript, that cautious woman was afraid that you would leave some clues between the lines, expose the scandal between her and Simon, and burn them all!" Burn it clean!
"Wake up! She's not the Kanspa you know anymore, what are you still holding onto? Isn't the experience of dying once enough to make you see what is worth protecting and what should be abandoned?
"Just last night, in the room where you slept, that shameless woman was still fighting Simon!! Do you think she really needs to be saved? ”
"Woo-hoo-"
The Resentful Soul Flower let out an unwilling roar, like a low roar, but to Mu Yan's ears, it was more like a wail of pain.
He stood up and slowly moved forward, put his hand on the petals of the other party's low-hanging flowers, and said softly:
"Here's a letter from Mr. Mawson to me, do you want to see it?"
The other party seemed to be moved, and a vine stretched out in front of him.
Mu Yan glued the letter to it.
Then again, where do this guy's eyes go?
Instead of thinking about this nonsensical question, he talked about how he met everyone and how Sam pleaded with him.
“…… I asked him, 'Are you mentally prepared to let the truth come out at any cost?' Or is it just because he met me, so he just had a whim?'
"He thought for a long time, and then said firmly, 'Anthony is like an angel sent to earth by Mia, and we do not know how to cherish it, and now that he has returned to the arms of the goddess, we deserve to be punished, so we will pay all the costs and beg you to investigate this matter thoroughly.'"
He paused and continued: "I don't know if you remember little York, the letter was sent by the kid, I have solved the problem of his kiwifruit tree, but this little guy still says, 'You haven't solved Little York's biggest trouble', I think you should understand what his trouble refers to, right?"
"So you see, I said that you are blind or irrational, what's wrong? Obviously loved by so many people, but I don't know how sad it is to cherish it, and blindly chase the love that has deteriorated?
"I even thought that the reason why you didn't want to do anything to the town was because you didn't want to hurt other people, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid to live with a grudge for such a ridiculous reason......"
After reading the letter and listening to Mu Yan's words, the huge corolla continued to ooze liquid.
It took a long time for it to calm down and let out a whisper.
"Are you asking me what to do?" Mu Yan asked.
The huge corolla jolted.
He took a deep breath, and after so much foreshadowing, it was time for the main event.
"Will you trust me, Anthony?"
Wraith Flower nodded.
"But what if I want you to let go of your grudges and disappear forever?"
The atmosphere froze instantly, and one person and one flower fell into a stalemate.
Anthony didn't seem to understand his words and took a few steps back vigilantly.
Seeing this, Mu Yan spoke again.
"Simply put, it's a deal."
"I already have enough evidence to destroy Simon and Canspa." He changed his words and said in a mocking tone: "But the current Night Town is not what it used to be, in order to crusade against you, there is an endless stream of mercenaries who come here, blacksmiths and hunters don't know how happy, if Simon is still in the town, it is not difficult to imagine how much turmoil it will cause when the truth is revealed, and then Night Town may really become a hell on earth."
"So I needed something to lure him out of town.
"One piece...... Something that proves you've been wiped out. ”
After speaking, Mu Yan raised his head and looked at it seriously.
"Will you believe me?"
A breeze blows, flowers sway, and it is like a brocade.
The Wraith Flower slowly lifted a vine and patted him lightly on the shoulder, as if saying goodbye to a friend she had known for many years.
It seems to have anticipated this scene for a long time.
Then it rolled up Mu Yan and sent him to Surya.
After doing all this, it returned to the center of the flower garden and slowly fell down.
It didn't take long for the ground in the center of the flower garden to begin to collapse, and the dirt slid down in a staggering manner, and after a few breaths, a huge pit appeared in front of the two of them.
The intricate vines in the pit resemble layers of cobwebs, framing a beehive-like underground structure, with a shriveled corpse lying in the center. If you look closely, you can see that the heart of the corpse is still beating, and a green but slender vine grows on it, divided into two, divided into four, and there are thousands of them no more than half a meter away from the body, they are entangled, weaving a huge turquoise heart.
And this heart is the starting point of all the vines of the Resentful Soul Flower.
There was no doubt that the shriveled corpse was Anthony.
The Wraith Flower nimbly shuttled through the hive, gradually approaching the turquoise heart.
Mu Yan was also quite nervous at the moment, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Thinking about it with his feet, he also knows that now the biggest weakness of the Resentful Flower is exposed in front of him, if he lets Surya entangle it and cut those tangled vines by himself, will he be able to get the golden apple? In this way, there is no need to carry out those follow-up plans.
But this is just a thought, not to mention that his conscience does not allow it, Surya probably will not agree.
The resentful flower reluctantly stroked her heart, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she lifted several vines and stabbed them fiercely.
At that moment, Mu Yan seemed to hear the sound of countless long swords piercing into his body.
And so it was, the blood flowed from the heart, the bright red fluid intertwined with the turquoise exterior, ticking and falling, and the resentful flower withered at an extremely fast rate.
However, it still struggled to crawl over, hanging a huge corolla in front of Mu Yan.
This scene stunned Mu Yan, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his previous joking ideas. So he stretched out his hand, placed it on its rapidly shriveled petals, and spoke reverently:
"I, Mu Yan, swear to Miya.
"I will come with all your enemies and give you the opportunity to slay them;
"I will let the truth shine in the sun of innocence, as Eric did;
"I won't hurt anyone you've ever loved, including Canspa.
"If the above vows are violated, let my soul and body be turned into nourishment, and every inch of Lokan will be nourished."
The oath ended, and the resentful soul flower could no longer hold it and fell to the ground with a bang.
At the same time, a glowing golden apple slowly rose from its tattered corpse.
It is said to be a golden apple, but it is not metallic, it is more like amber, crystal clear, shining brightly, and it looks very sweet.
Mu Yan stretched out his hand to catch it, and its attributes suddenly appeared.
“
Golden Apple (Unbound): Mia uses this as a reward for true warriors.
Effect: If the initial intelligence is below 12, it becomes 12. If it exceeds 12, it will add 3 points to the maximum of 16.
(The rest of the effects are displayed after binding)
Evaluation: Strength comes from self-affirmation.
”
"So there really is a golden apple...... Surya muttered.
"yes, I feel a little unreal...... "He smiled wryly as he put the thing away.
What I find untrue is...... I actually killed a level 40 boss with my mouth, and he silently complained in his heart.
"Aren't you going to eat?" The girl asked in surprise.
"Of course, if I eat this thing, what will I take back to pay for it? Let you single-handedly take on the Colossus of Bones? He smiled and said, "Zaix said that it is equivalent to a level 5 (50) Warcraft, do you really believe it?" Although it is impossible for an alchemy product to possess a realm, in terms of strength and physique, it is estimated that it is not inferior to a master of the realm Dacheng (level 70). ”
"And what's next? Is the third ring complete? ”
"That's right, the third ring has been successfully completed, and the finishing touches are almost complete."
Mu Yan glanced at the dilapidated resentful soul flower.
"I originally wanted to use its head to trick Simon, but now it seems that there is no need to desecrate his body."
"Why don't you just let me get him?" Surya asked, after the scene of last night, she hated the man and woman.
Mu Yan shook his head.
"It's fine if you're an Assassin (Rogue-Assassin), you can't cause a commotion right now, you can only outwit it. We are divided into two ways, I'll go to Simon, you are in charge of Canspa, how to do it will be taught to you later, by the way, by the way, take the mother crystal back, it will be useful at night. ”
"Okay." Surya nodded, and suddenly asked, "But then again, when you swore just now, you called yourself 'Mu Yan', did you lie again?" ”
Mu Yan smiled but did not speak, and did not talk.
