Chapter 1468: Ophelas's Order
After figuring out the key, Swell finally understood why Ophelas couldn't wait to bring him into the Sword Qi Sanctuary just after he left Bishut's shelter. He was secretly rubbed by the clone again, and the clone must have mentioned to Ophelas that he probably had the trunk of the Tree of Life, the best material for making Ophelas' new body!
After coming to this conclusion, Swell couldn't help gritting his teeth, this account will have to be calculated with the doppelganger sooner or later!
"Looks like you've figured it out!" Ophelas seemed to be mind-reading, and from the look on Swell's face he knew he had got the right answer.
"Swordmaster, I see what you mean. Swell nodded at Ophelas, and said with a regretful face, "Originally, I did have a piece of the trunk of the Tree of Life on my hands, which is the most ideal material for making a new body for you. However, you are still a step too late, not long ago, when I first returned to the Imperial Capital, the trunk of the Tree of Life was discovered and forcibly taken by Lord Bishut, so even if I can create a new body for you, I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand your great power!"
Swell had already let himself out, and when he realized that Ophelas' main target was actually the trunk of the Tree of Life, he immediately saw that this was the perfect opportunity to cause trouble.
In order to create a new body so that he could continue to fight against Bishut, who had been reborn through the secret method of reincarnation, Ophelas was bound to obtain the trunk of the Tree of Life, but now this key material happened to fall into the hands of Bishut, and it was impossible for Ophelas, who had not healed from his serious injuries, to regain the trunk from Bishut, which became a dead knot that could not be untied.
Swell could just get out of this dead knot, after all, it wasn't that he refused to help, but that there were really no suitable materials!
Swell never thought that the problem would be solved in such an unbelievable way, and now it was up to Ophelas to choose.
"It's Bishut again!" Although Opiras's tone was calm, Swell could clearly feel the deep hatred that Ophelas was trying to hide.
Swell was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that Ophelas would take his anger on himself.
Ophelas's chest rose and fell violently a few times before he restrained his anger and asked, "Did Bishut get a hint from someone who was deliberately going against me?"
"I don't think Master Bischut has received any guidance from oracles, and it seems to me that it is a complete coincidence that she took the trunk of the Tree of Life. Although Swell wanted to add another fire, he knew that he was too much, and if he did it too obviously, he would definitely see the flaw in Ophoras. He knew that now that the fire had been lit, the best thing to do was to tell the truth, which would be more credible.
"If she wasn't deliberately targeting me, then there's room for redemption. Ophelas also calmed down at this time, he knew that with his current situation, it would be impossible to hit the door and rob him, which would undoubtedly be self-defeating, so he could only think of other ways.
"What are your plans? If you need my help, I won't refuse. Swell shrewdly seized the opportunity to show his loyalty.
"If the materials are complete, how long will it take you and your clone to build a body for me?" asked Ophelas after a moment of silence.
"Big、About three days. Swell suddenly had a bad feeling that he might have shot himself in the foot again.
"Well, that's still too late. Ophelas smiled mysteriously, and slapped Swell on the shoulder with lightning speed.
"Swordmaster, what did you do?" Swell asked, shocked. He felt a chilling sword qi quickly sweep through every corner of his body with this beat, and at that moment, it seemed that every drop of blood was frozen by the chill emitted by the sword qi, and every cell was stabbed fiercely by the sword qi that invaded his body and turned into a needle.
"Nothing. It's just a sword qi imprint in your body. Ophelas said lightly.
"Yes, are there any after-effects?" Swell asked in a trembling voice, even if Ophelas didn't answer, he knew the answer, and Ophelas would never leave a mark on him for no reason.
"This sword qi mark can be used as a talisman, and it can automatically burst out at a critical moment to save your life, so it can be regarded as a little reward I gave you in advance. Ophelas said with a smile.
'Cut~ Are you so kind?' Swell complained frantically in his heart, but he didn't dare to have any disrespectful expression on his face, he asked cautiously, "So what do I need to do for you?"
"It's very simple, you have to find a way to get back the trunk of the Tree of Life from Bishut within three days. Ophelas's words sent Swell into an ice cave.
"Isn't this a tiger skin, I have never heard of any outsider who can get any benefit from a witch except her disciples!' Swell's face suddenly became bitter, he only dared to say these words in his heart, if he dared to say half a word of refusal, he would definitely be torn apart by Ophoras now.
Swell knew not to look at what Ophelas said nicely, but the sword qi mark left in his body was undoubtedly a talisman, as long as he made the slightest move, there was absolutely no place to die.
"That...... Lord Swordmaster, three days is a bit too tight, can you give a few days?" After being forced into a dead end, Swell could only bite the bullet and buy time for himself to the maximum.
"If only you could shorten the time it takes to make a body. Ophelas glanced lightly at Swell, who seemed to be much bolder in an instant, and said in a cold tone, "Anyway, I want to see my new body the day before the celebration." This is already my greatest tolerance. ”
"Why does it have to be done the day before the celebration?" said Swell, who had only been given six days to complete the calculations.
"Because I'm going to spend a day adjusting to my new body, I'm going to show up at my best at the celebration anyway!" said Ophelas, unquestioningly.
"Then ......" Swell was about to say something, but Ophelas had completely lost his patience. He waved his hand and said arrogantly: "Remember, you only have six days, if you can't complete the task by then, I guarantee that sword qi mark will completely turn your body and soul into ashes, and even the underworld will not take it in!"
"Then we'll just do our best!" replied Swell, grimacing. If you don't agree, you will die immediately, and although the probability of success is negligible after agreeing, there are at least six days left to maneuver, and as long as the brain is not flooded, everyone knows how to choose.
"Maybe in the next six days, Lord Bischut will come to the door and completely eliminate Ophelas~" Swell secretly made up his mind, "By the way, maybe I can tell Bischut about Ophelas's current poor state, which is a good idea!"
"I want to warn you, don't try to be wallgrass. If I die, you'll be blown to pieces when the time comes. I assure you that no one can lift the sword qi mark on your body, and Bi Xiute is no exception. Ophelas seemed to see through Swell's thoughts, and reminded him coldly, completely dispelling his crooked idea.
