Chapter 9: Answering the Call
The silver hair, neither long nor short, was tied into a fluffy ponytail, but because of the tap water that spilled from the ceiling, it became weak and hung down on the back of the head.
Coffee-colored skin with pointed ears sticking out backwards.
He wears a black leather cape, tights, shorts, and boots.
A short blade in a sheath with a long tassel on the handle.
The body is slender, convex and backward, and the appearance is good, especially a beautiful woman with a pair of excellent long legs, exuding a dangerous aura.
But the first impression of her Xue Qiong and the three of them was not very good...
Not to mention that as a heroic spirit, she was still smoking a cigarette indifferently when she was summoned, she had been staring at Xue Qiong blankly for almost two minutes at this time.
Even the momentum created by Xue Qiong's second attack just now was completely ruined...
And Xue Qiong could see that her eyes were becoming more and more complicated, but Xue Qiong herself couldn't understand why such a thing happened.
"Ahh
"Servant, Assassin, come at the call..."The woman said hesitantly, and then moved her gaze back to Xue Qiong's face, as if she had mustered great courage with difficulty, "Are you my master?" β
"......" In this completely damaged scene, Xue Qiong didn't know what to say.
Xue Qiong's whole body was already wet, and at this point, he simply sat cross-legged on the carpet that had been filled with tap water, opposite the black woman. Then he said without looking back: "Bald Xiaoyun, you first find a way to turn off this water..."
"Oh!" The bald head and Xiaoyun went to find the switch.
After the other two walked away, Xue Qiong continued to stare at the black woman.
"Uh, isn't there anything you want to ask?" The other party finally couldn't help but speak.
"Name?"
"Minette."
"Gender?"
"Female."
"Rank?"
"ASSASSSIN, ASSASSIN."
"Race?"
"Dark Elves."
"Home address?"
"12 Hutton Marr Backstreet... Why do you have to ask this? β
"You know me?" Xue Qiong suddenly asked a question that was not scientific in any way, and he himself couldn't understand why. But this is what he read from Minette's eyes and demeanor before, and he doesn't know why, anyway, Xue Qiong just saw it, and it was the kind of feeling that he suddenly saw an acquaintance he hadn't seen for decades.
"Why... So ask? β
Minette's tone was also very strange, in Xue Qiong's eyes, this woman... The Dark Elf seemed to care about something he didn't know, but after Minette asked this sentence, she felt that the things she cared about suddenly ... Lost its meaning.
"Guess." Xue Qiong said truthfully.
"No, I recognized the wrong person, your face," Minette sighed, "Well, can we not be like a police station question?" β
"Oh? I thought it was more like a corporate interview..."
"Cut..."
After this shout, Minette relaxed, and became very lazy and indifferent to everything, but the dangerous aura on her body was a little stronger, and then she began to look around the room to confirm the situation.
After Xue Qiong stared at Minette for a while, he suddenly found that something similar to the attribute bar appeared in his consciousness, and some information from Minette directly entered Xue Qiong's brain through the contract. So he looked slowly, causing the conversation between the two to stop.
Minette didn't care much about it, stretched out his right hand to pick up the smoke pot that had fallen on the ground, and tried to light the fire a few times. But because it's completely soaked, I can't light it...
"......" Xue Qiong took out the cigarette case from the storage space, put one in her mouth, and then handed the cigarette case over. Fortunately, the sprinkler had been turned off by this time, otherwise it would have been extinguished.
"Ah, thanks." Minette was not polite, took the cigarette and lit it, and then together with Xue Qiong, one person and one ghost swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog at the same time, creating a strange scene.
Class: Assassin.
Class Skills: Breath Blocking A+, Magic C
Real Name: Minette.
Faction: Chaos Neutral
Strength: C
Magic: A
Durability: D
Lucky: B
Agility: A++
Noble Phantasm: A
"Oh, my luck is not bad..."Xue Qiong exclaimed, "There are four A's, agile or BUG-level..."
"Prizes, prizes," Minette exhaled a nonchalant puff of smoke. After the strange aura on her body disappeared, she instantly changed from a girl who had never seen the world to a queen in the dark world. Even if it is drenched in tap water at this time, it looks like a chicken in soup, but it still has a "charm".
"What is a treasure?" Xue Qiong didn't see it on the panel, so she asked directly.
In the world of Noble Phantasms and Fate, the Heroic Spirits who were summoned for the Holy Grail each possessed at least one thing with strong enough energy to reverse the situation, including but not limited to weapons, armor, vehicles, skills, etc., which is the foundation on which the Heroic Spirits rely to participate in the Holy Grail War.
"This, and this." Minette pointed to the short blade at his waist, and took a small sack of burlap from his waist and threw it on the ground.
"Twin swords, the charm of a thousand moons." Minette pulled the first one out of her sheath, and of course held the cigarette in her other hand, "Make all my attacks dark and blind all enemies within a certain radius for a short time... The blindness effect is not very consuming, but it can only be used once in a forty-eight hours. β
"And thisβ" Minette put the dagger back into her sheath, picked up the burlap pouch, and poured out all the contents. Xue Qiong saw that these were some small transparent squares of the same size and shapes that were all standard hexahedrons.
"The colorless small crystal block is a solid magic block, a total of fifty. Although my strength attribute is only C, if I consume this, I can temporarily reach about A+ depending on the situation. β
"Huh... Ahaha... In other words, the next rhythm is obscene, colorless, and mushy bear face? This..."Xue Qiong suppressed her desire to continue complaining. But it's no wonder that her durability attribute is D, is it really because of the limitation of the number of colorless? But...
[Note, due to the particularity of the Heroic Spirits you summoned, there is an additional rule: only in this story world, when you teleport the item "Colorless Small Crystal" in the Arad world, the price will be uniformly adjusted to 1000 points/piece.] γ
(Dry!) Xue Qiong's wishful thinking immediately fell through.
"That's pretty much it, right? It's my turn..."Minette shook the cigarette butt in his hand, and Xue Qiong took a glass ashtray from the coffee table behind him and handed it over.
"You ask."
"Look at the dΓ©cor here, and these things..."Minette glanced at the things in the living room a few more times, "This shouldn't be the Arad continent, right?!" It's not like the Heavenly Realm or the Demon Realm..."
"Well, that's right." Xue Qiong nodded, "Let me tell you, this place is called the earth... The level of technology may be at least a few decades behind that of the Celestial Realm, not to mention the level of magic, which seems to have been declining all these years..."
"Understood." Minei nodded, but she seemed to care about something else, and then asked, "Then if this is another world at all, why are you... Do you know me and my hometown very well? β
"Say you're not angry?"
"No problem."
"Well, how do you explain it..."Xue Qiong thought for a while, "The Arad Continent, relative to our world, is a world that exists in fiction... In our cognition, 'Minette' is the skill mentor of the Dark Elf Kingdom in Huttonmar, proficient in assassination, physical arts, necromancy, and ninjutsu. β
Of course, he wouldn't say that he happened to play DNF, and that the tuba was still a dual-sword assassin...
"Well, it's a bit unpleasant," Minette accepted it surprisingly quickly, "but that's the basic thing... However, I actually moved back to the Dark City after the Doom. Also, because of this rank, my four-line skills are limited except for the assassination system. β
"To what extent?" Xue Qiong asked.
"You can understand this..."Minette organized his words, "The assassination system is the highest to the Falling Spiral Spike (DNF Assassin 70EX skill), according to this Holy Grail War rating system... Normally, it probably has A-level lethality against people. The Necromantic skill is up to summoning the Tyrant Barak, and none of them have advanced... The other two departments only have the most basic tricks. β
Xue Qiong raised his head and recalled for a while, and then said, "Understand, you continue." β
"Just to be on the safe side, I'm here on a mission to absorb your magic to sustain your own existence, and to help you kill the other six... Right? Minette asked.
"Uh... That's right. But my magic is a little..."Xue Qiong said with some embarrassment, "You can also feel that at this level, I feel that I can't maintain the supply for you..."
"Ahh Minette shook the pouch in her hand, "I just calculated... I'll take a little bit from you, and then in a non-combat state, I'll consume a small colorless crystal every two days to maintain my existence. β
"That's great, such a biggest worry is just a fart!" Xue Qiong said happily.
"That's right." Xue Qiong suddenly thought of something, and Zhengse asked, "On the premise of hypothetical... You have a magical thing about killing civilians and then taking their souls... What do you think? In this way, you can also save some small colorless chips. β
After Minette and Xue Qiong looked at each other and were silent for two seconds, they exhaled a puff of smoke and said lazily, "I'm okay with it... But I need to remind you that my rank is Assassin, is it okay to be so arrogant? β
Xue Qiong sighed, then also exhaled a puff of smoke, and said helplessly: "Okay, when I didn't ask." β
"Senior~~" Xiao Yun returned to the living room at this time, "Do you want to take a bath?" The bald head just pulled out a couple of our change of clothes..."
"You wash first." Xue Qiong's attention was still on the heroic spirit she had summoned, and she said without looking back, "It just so happens that there is a separate bathroom in the bald room, you and the bald head wash separately, and then me and Miss Minette." β
"Do people want to wash with the senior...", Xiao Yun still jumped up and down and walked into the bathroom with her clothes, not caring at all about the floor there, there were still a few pieces of minced meat from the human body, and then there was a sound of rushing water.
"Hey, look over here!" Xue Qiong found that Minette's attention was actually attracted by Xiao Yun, and had to remind him loudly.
"I'm sorry." Minette turned her gaze back and asked, "So... My master, what's our strategy next? β
"Hmm...," Xue Qiong closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "You just said that the necromancy spells you can use now are as high as Tyrant Barak... So Nicholas, the spider prince, you can summon it too, right? β
"Yes, you can." "You know me so well... However, this spell is still limited here, and now the Nicholas I can summon cannot use the two high-level skills of Soul Sucking Dark Wave and Soul Release Dark Wave, and the other skills have also been weakened..."
