Chapter 40: The Cause and the Coming Effect
Seeing that the little boy's mood finally regained his calmness, Anduin threw out a note again: "I'm very sorry for my offending behavior, after all, time is pressing, I can't wait for you to recover slowly, now, I need to know the specific situation, so that I can act as soon as possible, let's start with your name." ”
The little boy was very clever and realized that his excesses might expose Anduin, and after a little gathering of his thoughts, he wrote in Juan Xiu's handwriting: "Great Priest ......"
Anduin coughed secretly and floated down the paper: "I forgot to add the word 'future' before 'great', well, please continue." ”
“……”
The little boy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and he was a little skeptical that this seemingly unreliable Lord Anduin could really help him and Marlin get out of trouble, but in a hurry, he couldn't care about anything else, so he could only write truthfully: "My name is White, I am Mr. Marin's entourage, half a month ago, we entered this ruins through a certain passage in the Goblin Kingdom to explore, and then met Count Berval, he was chased by the demon warlock Lynn, Mr. Marin helped him escape, He was imprisoned in a closed area by Lynn's Space Rubik's Cube. ”
Anduin asked the question he was extremely concerned about: "Do you know the rules of the space cube?" ”
Huai nodded, and immediately wrote: "These days, I have been forced to work for Lynn, and I found that she needs to use a special pointer to manipulate the space Rubik's Cube, and that Rubik's Cube seems to have completely integrated with the nearby area. ”
Anduin suddenly realized, no wonder Marin was imprisoned, and he was able to ensure White's life, it turned out that the demonized old woman could not get rid of the old fox, so she had to make White a hostage to avoid the destruction of the crack in hell.
He didn't ask the stupid question of why White didn't try to escape, and it was obvious that with Lynn's methods, it would have been easy to make White fly.
"However, even if the two sides start a confrontation, Lynn can still use the power of the space cube to gradually expand the crack in hell, release more terrifying hellhounds, and force Mr. Marin to consume more physical strength, and finally when the food is exhausted, he can only eat the flesh and blood of the hellhound to maintain his physical strength, but this ......"
White involuntarily stopped his handwriting, Anduin nodded silently, the red light in Marin's eyes had reached the point where it was clearly visible, obviously it was not far from being completely demonized, although Lynn was caught by Marin, but the initiative was always in his hands, Anduin judged that when Marin completely degenerated/fallen into a demon, she would inevitably take the final action to ensure that the crack in hell was safe and sound.
"Tell me about Lynn's habits."
Anduin can't compete head-on with the demonized old woman, so he can only start through the details.
White thought for a moment: "Lynn has to use the pointer to manipulate the space cube every day, which consumes a lot of magic and energy, so she tends to fall into a deep sleep after the early hours of the morning, when she will summon a sword-wielding stone statue to guard her side, and I am asked to stay outside the door and wait until the stone statue goes out before starting work." ”
"Is that so?"
Anduin rubbed his chin and asked again, "When Lynn sleeps, does he put away the pointer and the Rubik's Cube?" ”
White shook his head first, then suddenly, and quickly replied: "It doesn't seem to be, one day when I entered the door, Lynn was still asleep, the Rubik's Cube was still in its original position, and I didn't know where the pointer was." ”
[Do you want me to scan the data of the Rubik's Cube and turn it into a golden card?] 】
"Is there something wrong with you?"
[I don't have a problem, there are indeed corresponding cards in the Space Cube, but I'm afraid that after saying that the crystal is consumed, you will have a problem!] 】
“……”
[However, I can't be sure of the pointer, the initial match didn't find a suitable target, and if the final result is the same, the golden card can't be generated.] 】
Anduin nodded a little solemnly, and in order to avoid delaying for too long and making Lynn suspicious, he asked the last question: "Which area is Mr. Marin locked down at the moment?" ”
White immediately replied: "This is the core of the ruins, the Hell Rift was originally located next to the core, Mr. Marlin fell for Lynn's trick, and was replaced to the bottom of the core area along with the Hell Rift, I heard Lynn mention that it is suitable for expanding the Hell Rift." ”
"Thank you for your cooperation, White."
Anduin solemnly wrote, "Although I cannot guarantee that I will be able to save you and Mr. Marlin, I will definitely do my best, and I ask you to hide in a safe area as much as possible while Lynn is asleep." ”
Of course, what Anduin didn't write out was that only by saving Marin could he get the gold and silver treasures around Marin......
White nodded heavily, his eyes showing a hint of hope, although he had never seen Anduin's true face until now, but it was already undesirable to have someone willing to go to the soup for him and Marlin, and then, with Anduin's help, White returned to Lynn's room with a half-full bucket, and Anduin repeated his old tricks, stopping on the wall behind the door, and heard Lynn throw the hot pointer into the water again, clattering.
"Go fetch another bucket of water, and you can rest today!"
The demonized old woman ordered viciously, and White left with the bucket very obediently, this time, Anduin did not follow, held his breath and stood upright, watching the stone door slam shut, and Lynn's curse immediately sounded in his ears: "Marlin, this old fox, has repeatedly ruined my good deeds!" finally found such a clean place, but he still touched the traces! Hmph, let you succeed again and again, how can I not have a long memory! This time, even if I try my best to give up, I will get rid of you as a scourge! ”
Lynn's shouting echoed through the space: "When I get rid of Marin, I must find that old Benedictas, don't think I don't know that you have been trying to get rid of my surveillance, ridiculous, since you are in Twilight, don't try to escape my eyes!" You must pay the price for Seriona's death, and those who killed Seriona for you, after Marin's death, they will also die with you! ”
Hearing this, Anduin's expression was solemn, he thought that the Twilight Holy See would not retaliate immediately, but he did not expect that the situation was quietly developing to the point of imminence, sure enough, these sociopaths engaged in sabotage, never foreannounced, and thanks to him came here to inquire about the cause of Bowval's death, otherwise he would only be caught off guard when the final incident happened.
In the following time, Lynn continued to use the mysterious pointer to replace the Rubik's Cube space repeatedly, and with the help of the evil magic circle she had buried in the Rubik's Cube, she tore apart the abyss gap along with Hell little by little, and the entire room was full of purple light, and her laughter became more and more hideous.
"Marin, you think that with Bolval's sword, you can make me throw a rat trap? Dream! If I can open the first crack in Hell, I can open the second, so what if you destroy it? Anyway, without you old fox, no one will pester me anymore! Well, though, I still hope you can be completely demonized and become my right-hand man, after all, you are still somewhat useful, at least better than Benedictas's eating inside and out! ”
Anduin frowned and said, "Isn't every Twilight cultist going to be so godly?" ”
[I don't think so, but whenever a certain level of religious belief reaches a certain level, a similar phenomenon will occur, such as Archbishop Kidd, who has mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, as for Benedictas...... Bad evaluation. 】
"Why?"
[Benedictas is a strange person, although he is a Twilight cultist, he has a clear consciousness and a clear mind, and I always feel that sooner or later he will replace Lynn and become the top of the Twilight Church, or higher. 】
Anduin nodded silently, recalling the appearance of Benedictas's fading body, he firmly believed that sooner or later he would meet the ambitious archbishop again, and he did not know in what capacity the two would discuss their faith when that time came.
Lynn's broken thoughts came to an abrupt halt when White returned, and after she had cooled the overheated hands one last time, she ordered the little boy to get out of the place, and Anduin, realizing that the most crucial moment was coming, hunched down against the corner, watched the sword-wielding stone statue take heavy steps, and turned towards the stone door.
White stood by the door, extremely anxious as the sword-wielding stone statue approached Anduin's hiding place step by step, and suddenly stood still, so frightened that he covered his mouth, because the sword-wielding golem had never appeared so abnormal, his body suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to imagine what kind of fate Anduin would face after being discovered.
The golem's head swayed slightly, his scarlet eyes scrutinizing back and forth, unable to determine the existence of the anomaly, and in the face of the sharp long knife that could be cut down at any time, Anduin did his best to remain calm, holding his breath to prevent himself from revealing his flaws.
"Can you control this big guy?"
[I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do right now, at least until the host has more psychic abilities.] 】
"I haven't finished learning the Holy Light Divine Technique, and the Shadow Skill is not at all, where can I find the Psychic Ability?"
[Hmm...... Please keep up the good work! 】
"At the critical moment, I started to play dead!"
Anduin snorted quietly, but saw the sword-wielding golem gradually raise the long knife, his body suddenly tensed, ready to sneak away at any time, seeing this situation, White outside the door almost screamed, but in a hurry, the little boy suddenly had an idea, and threw the stone on the ground to the golem.
Click!
The golem immediately turned, its sparkling scarlet eyes looking at White, which meant that if there was any more trouble, it would attack directly.
Anduin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to worry about the little boy, but fortunately, at this time, the demonized old woman was a little impatient: "Sure enough, in the old age, even the ancient golem of the goblin doesn't obey the call!" ”
White hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally touched the Golem......"
"Humph!"
Lynn's eerie voice came from the room: "Remember to be careful in the future, otherwise you will be cut down by the golem, and that old fox will fight with me!" ”
As the words fell, a purple light suddenly came, and the sword-wielding golem received the order, so it slowly turned around the wall, ignoring Anduin's location, and guarding the bedside of the demonized old woman.
Call......
Anduin and White breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the stone door slowly closed at this moment, White quietly cheered for Anduin's fist, and Anduin put up a gesture of confidence under the cloak.
Next, Anduin's solo performance is about to be staged!
