Chapter 85: Revealing the Ugly Nature of the Game (5)
There were still only two city lords and staff in the tent, and there was no grand occasion of three hundred swords and axes rushing up, the soup in the pot had been boiling for a long time, and the water gradually turned into white gas, and the staff could faintly see a few pieces of bloody flesh under the water.
It was as if the meat had not been washed, and even though it had been boiling in the pot for a long time, there were still a few streaks of blood hanging on it.
The staff felt a little disgusted.
"I didn't ambush any axemen." The lord of the city stood up, and spoke in a calm tone.
The staff also stood up, looked up slightly at the city lord who was a head above him in front of him, and said very calmly: "What kind of sword and axe do you need to deal with me, you alone is not enough." ”
The city lord smiled when he heard this, as if he felt that the other party's statement was very correct.
Then a low roar came out of his mouth without warning!
The roar seemed to be the roar of some unknown beast, or the terrible howl of a terrible ghost!
With this roar, the city lord's figure changed rapidly!
The city lord's originally very tall body seemed to be expanding at this moment, and it was gradually getting bigger and bigger, almost instantly reaching a height of three meters, if it weren't for the city lord's exclusive tent, which was much larger than the ordinary tent, I am afraid that his body would be enough to support the entire tent to burst open.
His clothes were torn apart inch by inch due to the expansion of his body, and his original wheat-colored skin was gradually dyed black and red little by little, and on his right hand and arm, which had become black and red, there were obvious intricate patterns of red.
The contours of his original face hadn't changed much, but his face inevitably had a hint of hideousness - the long, sharp fangs protruded from his mouth, revealing a metallic luster, and his ears became extremely slender, and the black and red ears looked extremely sharp at the moment!
His back...... It also gave birth to two black and red meat wings!
The wings have no feathers, but this pair of wings seems to carry endless power, and with a gentle fan, it can carry this huge monster high into the sky!
After the physical transformation was completely over, the monster let out a low roar in its throat again.
The roar really didn't sound loud, but it landed in the ears of the staff for a moment...... But it was like a deafening ringing in his mind!
The staff subconsciously trembled a little after seeing this scene, but then he seemed to think of something and actually laughed.
The staff remembered the scene when they first met the monster in front of them.
The young man in his memory turned back and stretched out his hand to himself who was sitting on the ground crying, and then asked himself to hold an umbrella for him in the future.
After opening the worn-out oil-paper umbrella in a daze, he suddenly found that he didn't even know the other party's name, so he asked with some confusion: "Big brother, what's your name?" ”
The boy scratched his head, looked at himself and said, "My mother didn't name me, but then I named one for myself, and I called it ......."
……
The staff laughed for a while, and said to the other party in an extremely relaxed tone: "Actually, I should have thought of it when I heard your name......
"Say yes, Devil."
The monster in front of him stopped roaring and was quiet for a while after hearing this, and then slowly spoke in the lingua franca of the Azure Continent: "Yes......"
The monster's voice was very low, so although his words were clearly not over, the staff only heard the first two words, and did not hear the words that he whispered behind him:
"I should have thought of it a long time ago."
……
"So...... Lord of the city, he is actually a demon? Xu Ke helped his glasses, but his hand shook inadvertently.
"Not bad." Lei Ruoya still maintained a posture of folding her arms, "If it weren't for this skill rewarded by the system, maybe we wouldn't know this secret until the end of these three acts." ”
"And not only did I learn about it that night, but I also got another piece of information -- that soldiers have been missing every day in the barracks for some time now."
"Even in an ordinary context, the military is the foundation of every race and country, not to mention that the racial state of this continent may face the invasion of foreign races at any time."
"It is a very strange thing for a soldier in the barracks to disappear for no reason, and the lord of the city where the soldier disappeared happens to be a demon...... Who do you think is responsible for this? ”
Hearing this, Xu Ke answered Lei Ruoya's question almost without hesitation: "I think it can only be the city lord." ”
"Then think about it, the current city lord of Belial City has actually been in office for many years, why is he only making a move now?" Lei Ruoya asked Xu Ke.
Xu Ke thought for a while and said his opinion: "Regardless of what the disappearance of the soldier means to him, a demon who has been lurking in Belial City as the city lord for so long suddenly has a move...... It's like an undercover agent suddenly turning back, since this has already been done, most of the organization has already sent someone to connect. ”
Maybe it's because he's been with Lei Ruoya for a long time, and Xu Ke, who has always been serious, actually made an analogy in his words.
Lei Ruoya smiled when she heard this: "So Mr. Xu Ke, do you know what I mean by the main line, the soldiers in the army began to disappear, and the city lord who was a demon gradually began to act on his own, the ...... that we adventurers have to face"
"It's most likely the second demonic invasion of the legend."
"This game has a main story, and its first act is really trying to make us deduce what we're about to face, and I think it's not just this time, but it's very likely that the same will be true of the previous Marvel games......
"What do you mean by Miss Ruoya?" Xu Ke thought for a while, but didn't understand where she came to this conclusion.
"You have also heard the story of that 'Blade Dancer', Mr. Xu Ke." Lei Ruoya glanced at Xu Ke with deep meaning, and then continued, "Why do you say that an adventurer from a foreign land...... What is the responsibility of killing the lord of a city and not taking on it in the end? ”
"If at this time, a world of evil novels that kills people and chickens will be fine, but this is a world of legalization, even if you kill an ordinary person by mistake, you will be punished."
Xu Ke already understood what he heard here:
"Could it be that the previous city lord was actually a demon too!?"
"I don't know why the Human Empire always lets some strange guys sit in the position of city lord, and every time we adventurers need to help solve it, but now that I think about it...... Even if that city lord is not a demon himself, he must be inseparable from the demon. Shrugging her shoulders, she said, "We can roughly make an inference - of course, it may be incorrect. ”
"In the Miracle Games, the main line of our adventurers in the Azure Continent is to help these aborigines solve the problem of demon invasion."
"Now let's go back to a question that we may have forgotten a long time ago: why do I say that the strength of the individual in this game is meaningless?"
Xu Ke raised his head when he heard this: "Why?" ”
"Teacher Xu Ke, as a scholar that even I admire, you must be able to memorize various professional skill trees."
Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, not understanding the connection between the skill tree and this question, but then nodded and replied, "Of course." ”
"Then the mage is already an example, Mr. Xu Ke, you recite the first five rows of skill trees of the mage and listen to it."
A large number of skill names and skill effects basically blurted out from Xu Ke's mouth in an instant: "Slowness Technique, earth-based first-level magic, it takes 10,000 levels and a transfer magician to learn, a single debuff state skill, effect: It can make the state of the caster sluggish, and the movement speed and reaction speed are greatly reduced."
Winding technique, a first-level magic of the wood system, requires 10,000 levels and can only be learned by a mage, a single control skill, effect: summons roots with the help of natural power, tightly wraps around the caster to make it unable to move.
……
Wind Technique, Wind Level 2 Magic, It takes 30,000 levels and can only be learned by a mage, and it is a single buff status skill......
Fireball Technique, a third-level fire magic, requires 50,000 levels and can only be learned by a transfer magician, and the single attack skill is ......
Thunder summoning, thunder fourth-level magic, requires 80,000 levels and can only be learned by a converted magician, and the single attack skill is ......
Freezing Technique, a fifth-level magic of the water system, requires 100,000 levels and can only be learned by a transfer magician, and the single attack skill ......"
"......" didn't know why, Xu Ke fell into a long silence after subconsciously saying this large number of skills.
Lei Ruoya looked at his expression and knew that he must have also found a problem: "Teacher Xu Ke, you also found out, right?" ”
"This large list of skills is all for a single entity, there is no group debuff, no group buff, and more importantly, ...... Not even AOE (Area of Effect Skill). ”
"And as we said earlier, the demon invades ......"
"It's a large-scale war that will most likely be fought against everyone on the continent."
