Chapters 142 to 144 Love and Hate
Xiao Ling and the others followed the ghoul Timos to his apartment, which was also stacked with the skeletons and carrion of children like a hill, which made people feel disgusting.
"These are the children that Oslinlan used to sacrifice, their souls were sacrificed to the evil god Liarnader, and their bodies were abandoned here." The ghoul's eyes rolled unnaturally. He's lying! Xiao Ling and the others did not expose his lies, but only sneered in their hearts.
The ghoul Timos walked over to the wall, stuck his long nails into a groove in the wall, and with a twist, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a spiral staircase that led to the top of the sewers of the Scarlet Abbey.
"Warriors, please follow me." The ghoul Timos said, and then walked up to the spiral staircase, and Xiao Ling and the others followed, gradually going up the spiral staircase.
Xiao Ling estimated the location of this place, this position should be the center of the Scarlet Monastery, the ghoul Timos was going to lead them to the residence of Oslinland, and he didn't know what the next task would be, Xiao Ling guessed, so as to make some preparations.
Regardless of whether Oslinlan had touched Xiao Ling and the others, Oslinlan was a believer in the evil god Liarnader, her heart had been blinded and needed to be purified, and the ghoul Timos was equally vicious and would definitely be killed. The task of killing Oslin Lan was issued by the ghoul Timos, and it was completely possible to defeat Oslin Lan with the help of the ghoul Timos first, Xiao Ling thought about what a painful lesson to the ghoul Timos after the task was completed.
"Great warriors, if you can help me kill Oslinlan and free me from this terrible curse, I am willing to give you all my possessions." Ghoul Timos said.
"What kind of reward will we get if we can defeat Oslinland?" Xiao Ling asked.
The ghoul Timos pulled out a pure black diamond necklace from his pointed nails and said, "I think this thing will be of interest to you, Akkadian's Necklace of Glory, a legendary item." β
Xiao Ling was stunned, why was the prophet Akkad's stuff on the ghoul Timos? Could it be that Timos obtained it by unsightly means? For Xiao Ling, the prophet Akkadian is also a mystery, but at present, Xiao Ling has no time to explore this mystery, and it is important to obtain equipment in this kind of hidden mission to improve the strength of the team.
Xiao Ling and the others shared the surname of the necklace.
Necklace of Glory of Arcade: One of the five pieces of Akkadian's Glory Set. Increases healing magic effects by 10% and reduces the cooldown of resurrection spells by 20%.
This legendary equipment has a lower caste than other legendary equipment, but it is enough to increase the healing effect by 10%, and it is a very superb thing for the priest. Priest is one of the most important professions of the team, and Xiao Ling and the others can't let go of such equipment no matter what, not to mention that this thing is one of the components of the set.
Seeing that the necklace aroused the interest of Xiao Ling and the others, the ghoul Timos put away the Akkadian Glory Necklace, and said with a sly smile: "As long as you help me kill Oslinlan, I will give this necklace to you, I swear in the name of the true god Tershid, if I break my promise, I am willing to receive the punishment from heaven." β
The evil and cunning in the heart of the ghoul Timos is really abhorrent, but Xiao Ling and the others still agreed to the deal.
"The day before yesterday, I had already defeated Oslinlan in the main hall of the Scarlet Church, I would like to ask, why is Oslinlan still alive, can she be resurrected?" Xiao Ling asked.
When the ghoul Timos heard Xiao Ling's words, his bulging eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, he glanced at Xiao Ling, sniffed with the tip of his nose again, and said, "Young man, you are not lying, I don't know how you defeated Oslinlan, I smell Oslinlan's resentment in you." His eyes fell on the staff in Xiao Ling's hand again, and said: "Your staff should be the staff of Tabret, this stupid person actually fell in love with that evil woman, willingly turned into a ghoul, and finally died under the sword of the warriors." β
The crowd did not contradict the ghoul Timos, but listened quietly, and although they were very unhappy in their hearts, they did not say anything.
The ghoul Timos narrated: "After Auslinlan gave her faith to the evil god Lillard, she became a lich-like being, she made a container out of human body, put her soul into the container, and became the Oslinlan in the eyes of the world, she placed her natal skeleton in one of the most secret courtyards of the Scarlet Abbey, as long as her natal skeleton was not destroyed, Auslinlan would not die." All we have to do is find her natal skeleton and destroy it. Oslinlan's soul was hit hard the day before yesterday, and her soul will be in a period of weakness for a long time after that, and during this time, it will be easier for us to get it. β
Only then did Xiao Ling and the others know that what the ghoul Timos wanted to do was not to fight Oollinlan head-on, but to prepare to bypass Oslinlan, secretly find Oslinlan's natal skeleton, and destroy it.
The corner of Xiao Ling's mouth smiled coldly, he finally understood the plan in the heart of the ghoul Timos, the ghoul Timos wanted Xiao Ling and the others to attract Oslinlan, transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and then draw a salary from Oslin Lan to destroy Oslinlan's natal skeleton, as for the life or death of Xiao Ling and the others, the ghoul Timos would not care.
"Oslinland's strength during his weakness was only about 10 percent of his usual strength." Ghoul Timos said.
The weakened state is only 10% of the usual strength, this is the normal data of the system, the ghoul Timos is not lying, Xiao Ling secretly calculated, if Oslinlan only has 10% of the strength, at most it is only the strength of the twenty-fifth level strengthening elite, it may be slightly inferior, even if it is against Oslinlan, his team may not suffer, it should not be difficult to kill Oslinlan's soul head-on to destroy her natal skeleton, get that Akkadian Glory Necklace from the ghoul Timos, next, The goal of the crowd is the ghoul Timos!
"What do you think we should do?" Mu Lin asked, she also sensed the ghoul's plan to Timos, said it in the team's voice, and then asked Xiao Ling.
"We can't find Oslinlan's Natal Skeleton, and the ghoul Timos should be very familiar with the terrain around here, so it shouldn't be difficult to design us to lure Oslinlan and get rid of us, and find Oslinlan's Natal Skeleton alone. We can't deal with the weakened Oslinlan, and when we defeat Oslinlan, we will go back and pack up the ghoul Timos, because the ghoul Timos must fulfill his promise to hand us the Necklace of Glory of Akkad. Xiao Ling pondered for a moment and said.
If it were replaced by Oslinlan, whose strength had not changed, Xiao Ling and the others would definitely not be able to fight against it, but if it was replaced by a weak Oslinlan, it should not be difficult to deal with.
"The question is whether we can be sure that Oslinland is in a weakened state right now?" Xiao Ling asked.
"If it is true that Oslin Lan is a lich-like as the ghoul Timos said, his words should be true, because the lich's soul can be resurrected through a natal skeleton when killed, and the soul will be in a weakened state after resurrection, which will last for a month, and it will not be fully recovered until a month." Tian Crazy remembered that he had seen similar materials.
There is no need for the ghoul Timos to deceive in this regard, everyone deduces that the ghoul Timos is not lying, since this is the case, Xiao Ling and the others don't have to worry too much, because the initiative is still in their hands.
The ghoul Timos led Xiao Ling and his party up the whirling staircase, and finally walked out of the dark corridor, out of the stairs, there was a long corridor, the ghoul Timos looked around, and said: "There are often some blood-colored cultivators patrolling around here, warriors, be careful." The ghoul's bulging eyes rolled sharply, and he said, "Warriors, come with me." With that, he walked deeper into the hallway.
The crowd looked at each other and followed.
"At the end of this corridor is Oslinlan's apartment, and from a passage next to Oslinlan's room, into the distance, is the Worship God Hall, where Oslinlan's natal skeleton is placed on the altar of the God Worship Hall, and the God Worship Hall is guarded by two twenty-level elite guards. There is a soul connection between these two elite guards and Oslinlan, and if these two elite guards are alarmed, they will immediately lure Oslinlan over. Ghoul Timos said.
"Can thieves bypass these two elite guards and steal out of Oslinlan's Natal Skeleton?" Mu Lin asked.
"It's impossible, these two elite guards have real eyes and can see through the stealth of thieves." The ghoul Timos said, his eyes rolling slightly, "We should have the thieves investigate Oslinland's apartment first, and make sure that Oslinland is in her room first." β
The sky groaned wildly, and did not answer, if the thieves were really allowed to investigate, and they happened to meet Oslinlan, they would definitely die. The ghoul Timos didn't care about the lives of the crowd to make such an offer.
Mu Lin, Lin Fei, and Chaos looked at Tian Mad and then at Xiao Ling.
"Let me do it." Xiao Ling said, and Xiao Ling took out Rogge's Eye from the package.
"Rog's Eye?" Ghoul Timos said in surprise, a hint of greed appeared in his eyes, but it was only fleeting, compared to these treasures, Ghoul Timos felt that it was more important to get rid of the curse on his body first.
The Eye of Rogge flew, then disappeared, and under Xiao Ling's control, flew towards Oslinlan's apartment.
"This Rogge Eye is a good thing." The ghoul Timos exclaimed, "It is said that the great Rog created only sixteen Rog Eyes, scattered across the continent, each of which was priceless. β
The crowd didn't want to pay attention to the ghoul Timos, and the ghoul Timos knew that he was not welcomed, and stood in place, his bulging eyes constantly turning, and he didn't know what bad idea he was playing.
The Eye of Rog flew to the end of the hallway and into the living room of Oslinland, a very clean and tidy bedroom, with various pink decorations full of female surnames. Seeing Oslinlan's bedroom, Xiao Ling couldn't help but wonder, what kind of woman was Oslinlan when she was alive? As a nun who serves the gods, she is full of expectations and desires for love, and loves someone firmly and persistently, until she is betrayed and hurt, and after she dies, she transforms that deep love into boundless hatred, and is willing to fall into the soul in exchange for strength to take revenge on the person who hurt her. There is nothing wrong with Oslinlan's pursuit of love, it is the wrong thing that she loves, and if she had met Tabret first, fallen in love with Tabret first, they would have been very happy.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling sighed, life is so helpless, she met the wrong person at the wrong time, so she was insulated from happiness.
Xiao Ling sighed, and continued to search for Rogge's Eye, searching the entire apartment, but found no trace of Oslinlan, so that Rogge's Eye flew back.
"Is Oslinland there?" The ghoul Timos asked anxiously.
"No, I've searched the whole room, but I can't find her." Xiao Ling shook his head and said.
"Then let's hurry up." The ghoul Timos said, walking towards the end of the hallway, past the door of Oslinland's apartment, towards the temple of the gods.
Seeing that the ghoul Timos didn't glance at Oslinlan's room and walked by in disregard, Xiao Ling couldn't help but wonder, did the ghoul Timos ever love Oslinlan? I'm afraid not, what he likes is just Oslinlan's beauty, from the moment Oslinlan died, there was no more Oslinlan in the heart of the ghoul Timos. The ghoul Timos came to this point, he completely deserved it, he played with Oslinlan's feelings, so that Oslinlan's love turned into monstrous hatred, Xiao Ling can completely imagine what kind of despair Oslinlan died in front of his lover but saw that his lover was indifferent to her death! Because of his hatred for the ghoul Timos, Oslinlan's soul refused to leave for a long time, and eventually became a vengeful soul.
Xiao Ling sighed a lot, and the group followed behind the ghoul Timos, walking in a long passageway, and saw a magnificent hall in the distance, a dark red building, and the walls were carved with reliefs of various monsters, which set off the surrounding atmosphere extremely weird.
In the distance, I saw two guards in front of the aisle.
"These two guards are just ordinary elites of level 20, I can deal with them alone, the key is Oslinlan, if there is a fight with those two elites, in less than ten minutes, Oslinlan will come over." Ghoul Timos said, his eyes rolling slightly.
Xiao Ling and the others have been paying attention to the movements of the ghoul Timos.
Arriving about fifty or sixty yards away from the two elite guards, the ghoul Timos's finger jerked a button on the aisle wall.
The alarm bell sounded, and the ghoul Timos slammed into another narrow passage, broke away from the crowd, and ran into the distance: "Good luck, stupid humans. The ghoul Timos's shrill laughter came from afar.
"Stop chasing." Xiao Ling said that it was not surprising for the ghoul Timos to have such a move, while the ghoul Timos was using Xiao Ling and a few people, why didn't Xiao Ling and a few people use the ghoul Timos? Xiao Ling and the others couldn't find Oslinlan's natal skeleton, only this side attracted Oslinlan's attention, and the ghoul Timos could destroy Oslinlan's natal skeleton and kill Oslinlan completely. Xiao Ling and the others were not worried about facing Oslinlan, and the ghoul Timos would not be able to run, because the reward for the ghoul Timos's mission was witnessed by God, and the ghoul Timos would still have to obediently take the Akkadian Glory Necklace to meet Xiao Ling and the others.
Attracted by the sound of the alarm bell, the two guards looked this way, found Xiao Ling and his party, and chased them over this side, and there were countless footsteps, which seemed to be some blood-colored cultivators patrolling the Scarlet Monastery.
Xiao Ling and the others quickly occupied the favorable terrain, and Wu Yan and Mu Han stuck in the narrowest place, giving up the wide place and leaving it to the professional players of the legal system.
Bath Blood and another druid named Tianao added a rejuvenation technique to Wuyan and Muhan respectively, and then transformed into a giant bear form, and together with Makino, filled some of the gaps that Wuyan and Muhan missed.
Soon, the two elite guards chased after them, Wu Yan and Mu Han snorted, each found one, and the big shield in their hands slapped the two elite guards, their movements were neat and standard. Wuyan's movements are researched and designed, and they can exert force in an instant, and exert their own speed to the limit, causing the greatest impact, while Mu Han copied Wuyan's movements, because he found that every movement of Wuyan was full of strength, which was much more reasonable than his own movements, so Mu Han followed suit.
Scarlet Guard: Level 20 Enhanced Elite.
"These two elites are twenty-level strengthening elites." Wu Yan said in a deep voice, obviously the ghoul Timos deceived them, although Xiao Ling and the others had already been mentally prepared, but their hearts were still full of anger about being deceived.
"Hurry up, everybody, try to take out some before Auslinland arrives. All legal professions are in full swing. Heavenly Maniac said in the team's voice that they didn't have enough time to wait for Wuyan and Mu Han to establish enough hatred, and were ready to use the card position to block the two elite guards, in this way, it would test Wu Yan and Mu Han's skills to a large extent, including card position, reaction ability, and so on. The three of them in the rear, Bloody and Tianao, as well as Makino, were also ready to block the way of the two bloody guards with their bodies at any time.
There were a lot of blood-colored cultivators in the distance, there were as many as **ten, and more blood-colored cultivators rushed over one after another, but the bodies of the two blood-colored guards were too huge, and they were all blocked in the aisle, so they couldn't come over.
The French pro player in the rear threw all his strength at the blood-colored guard who was attracted by the flame, and the magic overwhelmingly enveloped the blood-colored guard, and exploded a series of damage on the blood-colored guard's body. The eleven main outputs plus the output of various support classes can cause quite terrifying damage per second, and each round of attacks can cause tens of thousands of damage.
Looking at the magic like a locust transiting, Xiao Ling found some sense of a large team task, twenty-seven people, although the number of people in the team is still too small, but the outline of a team still comes out.
Xiao Ling was casting magic while chatting with Tianmad.
Tian Madness smiled and asked, "The first time I fought monsters with my own team, did you feel anything?" β
Xiao Ling smiled faintly, had some ideas about the team's structure, and said, "It's not bad, what do you think of Wuyan and Mu Han's techniques?" β
"Wu Yan is very strong, if his equipment is upgraded, he is definitely an invincible shield warrior." Tianmad looked at Wuyan's powerful attack, well-founded and unmessy pace and said, and looked at Mu Han again, "Close to Zhu Zhechi, after Mu Han and Wuyan have cooperated for a long time, they can definitely grow into a super master." "There are two powerful shield warriors in the team, which makes Tianmad very happy, and he was still worried about not being able to find a shield warrior.
"If it's a big team of fifty people, Wuyan, Mu Han plus two druids, a barbarian berserker, and a knight, how about such a melee team? With the addition of three thieves and a paladin, if there are few melee classes, there is also less need for priests, and four priests can almost meet the needs. Xiao Ling asked with a smile.
"You mean, in the future, we're only recruiting law export classes, not melee classes and priests?" Tianmad understood what Xiao Ling meant, Tianmad thought for a while, and said, "This will be a little troublesome, but it's not impossible, let's carefully sum it up." β
Xiao Ling's meaning is still understood, the more legal output professions, the higher the efficiency of fighting bosses, if a team of fifty people is formed, there are only ten melee professions and four healing professions, but there are thirty-six legal output professions and auxiliary professions, such a team is somewhat deformed, can such a few melee professional players protect so many legal professional players? That's a problem! After all, the time to fight against the boss is much less than the usual time to fight monsters, and if you suddenly encounter dozens of wild monsters, what about these dozens of wild monsters hitting the team? What would that look like? Heavenly madness can't be imagined. If you really form such a team, it will be an extremely severe test for melee pro players, French pro players, and healing pro players when you usually farm monsters and level up.
"French professional players must learn to protect themselves, if you quietly enjoy the protection of a group of melee professional players when you are leveling up in peacetime, and when it comes to killing the boss, you will have the protection of the melee professional human wall, sooner or later it will degenerate." Xiao Ling said, this is just Xiao Ling's idea, if there are a large number of legal professions, it will cause pressure on the front melee professional players, they want to control the boss with as few people as possible, they must improve their own skills, reaction ability, etc., the number of legal professions in the rear increases, the higher the overall output per unit of time, the efficiency of fighting the boss will be greatly improved, and at the same time, there will be some sense of crisis, as much as possible to improve their ability to deal with the crisis, no longer as before, rushed to the front by the boss, Helpless, they are slaughtered until the melee class runs over and draws the boss's attention away.
"If you really form a team like this, as you said, the risk factor of the team will be greatly increased." Tianfei said.
Tianfei's worry is not unreasonable, Xiao Ling smiled and said: "Which is the higher risk factor of a master team or a rookie team?" β
"The rookie team, of course." Tianfei said, why did Xiao Ling ask this question? He was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Xiao Ling meant, as a team, the ratio of French professions is too large will increase the risk factor of the team, and the reason why the current team will try to ensure the number of melee professional players is for this consideration, but if the strength of the whole team has improved, it can basically offset the increased part of the danger factor.
"Also, if you kill the same boss and increase the number of French pro players, the efficiency can be greatly improved. Let's make an assumption, in the past, it took us five minutes to kill a boss, and it took four minutes to increase the output of the legal profession, so do you say that the risk factor of four minutes is high or the risk factor of five minutes is high? Xiao Ling asked.
Tianfei had to admit that what Xiao Ling said did make sense.
Tianmad listened to the debate between Tianfei and Xiao Ling, pondering.
"I think we should believe in Wuyan and Muhan." Mu Lin said on the side, "After all, the situation of our team is different from other teams, there are two powerful shield warriors here, so there is no need to worry about too many legal professions in the future." Moreover, Wu Yan and Mu Han have just started to cooperate, and when they run in with each other, the effect of the two shield warriors cooperating with each other is very strong. β
"Since you all think that Brother Xiao's plan is feasible, we will implement it according to Brother Xiao's plan, and no longer recruit other professions, only recruit professions exported by the legal system." Tianmad said.
"It's best to be a mage, the damage output of fire and thunder is relatively high, the ice law scene control ability is strong, and the destruction warlock can also do." Xiao Ling added.
"Okay." Heavenly Maniac responded, and Heavenly Maniac couldn't help but imagine for a moment, what kind of effect would it have if so many mages and destruction warlocks were really recruited? At that time, the output per unit of time was very terrifying.
"If there are too many players of the same class, equipment is also an issue." Mu Lin said that she had her own team and knew that the equipment problem was the root cause of team conflicts.
"Don't worry about the equipment, we can buy the missing equipment from other teams, and you can also label the players of the same profession in order, determine the team's first player, second player, etc., usually the equipment is uniformly rationed by me, if you hit good equipment, the first player will be preferentially selected, if the first player does not want it, then hand it over to the second player, and so on." Tianmad said,He is well versed in the management methods of the team and so on,Although this method still can't solve the contradictions in the team,But you can use interpersonal relationships to reconcile,The kind of player who only cares about personal interests,Always plan for himself The player Tianmad will not recruitγ
"Rankings should change from time to time, and all players should be treated equally, and sorted according to their contribution to the team's tasks." Xiao Ling said.
Tianmad's eyes lit up and said, "That's a good idea. "This can mobilize the positive surnames of all players.
Tianmad said all the management plans that he had envisioned in his heart, and the deficiencies were supplemented by Xiao Ling, Yu Xue, Mu Lin and others. The opinions put forward by Xiao Ling, Yu Xue, and Mu Lin gave Tianmad a great inspiration.
As he spoke, wave after wave of magic fell on the body of the blood-colored guard who was attracted by Wuyan, and the blood-colored guard who was attacked reacted violently, trying to get rid of Wuyan's entanglement several times, but was stuck by Wuyan, Wuyan's movements were reminiscent of the brave warriors on the battlefields of ancient Rome and ancient Babylon.
The healing magic of the priest in the rear also kept falling on Wuyan's body, keeping Wuyan's HP close to its full value.
Four minutes and thirty seconds, the first Scarlet Guard was killed, and the speed was very fast, which had a lot to do with the unscrupulous output of the professional players of the legal system, and the attacks of the professional players of the legal system almost never stopped, and many people drank the potion specially made by Nightfall to enhance the attack.
Players have to sigh that the melee professional players in front are important to the entire team, and if the melee professional players in front are not strong enough, the French professions in the rear will not be able to cast attack magic with peace of mind.
"Let's hurry up and try to kill these two Scarlet Guards before Oslinlan arrives!" Sky shouted wildly, he didn't expect the first Scarlet Guard to be killed so quickly, faster than he had imagined.
The mana of the professional players of the legal system has bottomed out, and they drank a bottle of low-level instant recovery magic potion and continued to maintain their output.
Instant recovery magic potions can allow the team to gain longer battery life, which is very useful at critical moments, the instant recovery magic potions brought by these players are usually prepared or distributed by Nightfall, just these potions cost Nightfall a lot of gold coins, Tianmad is thinking, how to compensate for Nightfall, since there is a senior pharmacist in the team, how can it not be wasted, Tianmad is ready to purchase some high-grade herbs to make Nightfall into potions, for the players in the team to use, and at the same time give Nightfall some compensation.
After killing a Scarlet Guard, the Scarlet cultivators in the rear rushed up like a tide, and Bloodbath, Tianao, Makino and the others immediately blocked it.
After another four minutes and twenty seconds, another Scarlet Guard fell to the ground, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to clean up the remaining Scarlet cultivators.
A beautiful figure appeared at the end of the aisle, the jade face was amazing, beautiful, beautiful and far away, between gestures, thousands of manners, the black silk clothes added a bit of mystery to her, not like people in the mortal world, but between the eyebrows, but a faint sadness that could not be dissolved.
Xiao Ling saw Oslinlan at a glance, she was still so calm and elegant, but Xiao Ling had a little more sympathy for this woman, although Oslinlan was hateful, she was also a pitiful person.
Oslin Lan didn't care about the scuffle next to him, his eyes swept over everyone, fell on Xiao Ling's body, and said lightly: "We meet again." The tone was like talking to an old friend.
"Yes." Xiao Ling said.
"Timos brought you here." Oslinland asked, she said that there was not the slightest fluctuation of feelings when she spoke of the ghoul Timos, and that Oslinland had no feelings for him anymore? Or maybe Lillard's demagoguery made her lose her heart? But many times, forgetting is not a simple thing, especially such an unforgettable feeling.
Xiao Ling nodded, Xiao Ling is a bystander and an outsider about the emotional entanglement between Oslinlan, Timos, and Tabrett, and the only thing Xiao Ling can do is to purify Oslinlan and let her go to the realm of gods to reunite with Tabrett. Return, Oslinland, and may you be saved. Xiao Ling prayed silently in her heart.
Xiao Ling suddenly thought of something, the ghoul Timos had already gone to find Oslinlan's natal skeleton, wasn't Oslinlan panicked at all? Or was she anticipating everything and setting a trap for the ghoul Timos to jump?
The person he loved hated himself, and he wanted to kill himself all the time, and I don't know how Oslinlan would feel when he thought of this. It's really a sad love, Xiao Ling sighed.
(To be continued)
