Chapter 8: The Strange Spell Activates
Marse's stout body froze suddenly, and he stared blankly at Marina's pained and dull face, and the miserable white drooping arm, which was shaking slightly. At this moment, he forgot the pain, forgot the danger, forgot everything, and in his place, there was an overwhelming, surging rage!
At this time, the nightmare mark on Zhu Hai's chest suddenly sent out a prompt: The hidden task is completed, potential point 1 is obtained, the evaluation of this level has increased, and Marse has changed from a black iron heavy shield giant hammer warrior to a bloody heavy shield giant hammer man!
As soon as this prompt sounded, I saw that the fiery red heavy shield hammerman who had the upper hand suddenly snorted and staggered backwards, and Marse rushed straight up, bowing his head against his chest, and the remaining long horn pierced deep into his armor!
A stream of blood poured out from the cracks in the armor, dripping and flooding, and Marse roared wildly, burying his head in the chest of the opponent, stabbing out black holes sprayed with blood with each ferocious collision! Even the white bones inside can be faintly seen, and the blood sprinkled on his armor does not fall, but it flows out of a strange and bloody texture, as if it is a pattern on the body of a fierce beast!
Fang Lin looked at Marse's momentum like a fierce beast, and he was horrified in his heart, even when the opponent lost his life, Marse also trampled on it frantically and attacked until it turned into a mess of flesh and blood!
What calmed him down was Marina's corpse.
Fang Lin directly put the tragic death woman silently in front of Marse's eyes, the violent giant man suddenly froze, threw himself on the corpse and cried, Fang Lin was not idle next to him, and found that the body of the fiery red heavy shield giant hammerman had gradually become transparent, and also left a bright silver key, he went over to pick it up, and returned to the church next to it to summon a bright silver treasure chest, after opening it, the following display popped up:
"Obtain a Red Blood Gauntlet from Deacon (right): Green equipment, medium quality, must be soul bound before wearing, good quality, attack 4-7, with a plunder effect, converting three percent of the damage to the enemy into its own physical strength. Note: After making a pair, a special effect will appear, which will be displayed after equipping. It requires strength ten, physical strength nine, and no-hand combat skill level 5 or above, which can be carried out of this world and can be exchanged for 700 points. ”
"Twenty silver coins, valuables: can be used in medieval scenes, can be exchanged for 1000 points."
Fang Lin was thinking about whether or not to use his True Cutting Technique, but suddenly there was a dull sound of footsteps fading away, and he hurriedly chased after him. Seeing Marse's thick and heavy body leaving with Marina's body in his arms, he frowned slightly and hurriedly shouted:
"Where are you going?"
Marse didn't answer him at all, and walked forward on his own, Fang Lin rushed directly to block his way, and suddenly saw the eyes of this fierce man who was wrapped in steel all over his body! Cruel, rebellious, violent! He hurriedly jumped back, avoiding Marse's fatal blow from top to bottom, and in the splash of dirt, Fang Lin said eagerly:
"Don't you want to avenge Marina?"
It was only when he heard the three words of Marina that a trace of vitality flashed in Marse's eyes, and he said in a sonorous voice:
"I've got revenge on her!"
"No," Fang Lin said with a pretended anger of anger, "Marina's murderer is actually the punishment knight Skorn. If he hadn't been to loot our town, none of this would have happened! If you really love her, you should kill Skorn! ”
He deliberately rushed forward, lifted Marina's head, presented her desperate eyes in front of Marse, and said loudly:
"Look at her eyes, she doesn't blink when she's dead! Do you dare to say that you have avenged her? You coward! You keep saying that you love her, but you are actually afraid! ”
Marse immediately roared in pain like a beast with an arrow:
"I love her! I've always loved her dearly! I'm not afraid! ”
"Then don't run away!" Fang Lin said coldly: "Skorn will come to our area tomorrow. I'll go with you to kill him! ”
……………………
This is exactly what Fang Lin wants to achieve! He took his mission to heart.
"Mission one, enter the world of the Knights of the Round Table, familiarize yourself with its rules, and kill seven masked minions and two heavy swordsmen near the village of fire in the first act, and earn more than 300 points."
"Mission two, stop Team No. 348 from killing Skorn, the Knight of Punishment."
"Mission three, order at least 4 members of Team 348 to be reduced."
"Consequences of not being able to complete the task: erasure."
Although the first task was not completed, the number of mask minions and heavy swordsmen had already been killed, and even the points were deliberately suppressed at 299. It can be said that if you want to, you can do it at any time.
And Fang Lin had been thinking about two or three tasks, and it seemed that there was only one way to go, that is, to wait for the 348 team to enter the world, and then secretly snipe and weaken their strength. I believe that most people also think that this is the only feasible way, but Fang Lin has been thinking about another way:
"Kill Skorn the Punishment Knight early!"
As long as the final boss of this first act is killed by himself, then of course he will prevent Team 348 from killing the punishment knight Skorn, and if they can't complete the task, they will naturally be wiped out!
Fang Lin also knew very well that no matter how he built up momentum and cultivated, he would definitely be useless with this boss, this had nothing to do with intelligence, layout, and strain against the enemy, it was completely the overwhelming power that decided everything, and he could only use external forces!
In this world, those who have the power to defeat Skorn should be the first to think of the three heroes in the plot, Lancelot (the one who wears blue and holds a scimitar), Pusio (axe) and Arthur (uncle). But they are obviously supposed to be in the same camp as Team 348, so they can be ruled out.
Then, this power can only be discovered and cultivated by himself, and it is likely to appear in the town, sure enough, after discovering the hidden plot, Fang Lin sensed a glimmer of light from it, this Marse should be this variable! On top of that, even the request to hide the plot reveals a trick that can be exploited: that is, to help Marse meet Marina, without mentioning Marina's life and death at all.
In fact, if Fang Lin doesn't kill Marina, the development of this quest will end here, after seeing the living Marina, the person who takes this task will help Marse kill the small boss fire red heavy shield hammerman, then the arrival of the punishment knight Skorn will be accelerated, and the battle to defend the village will start in advance. The consequence, of course, is that the town was ransacked in advance, and when Team 348 and the three heroes of the plot appeared, they would be directly surrounded by Skorn's group, making it more difficult for them.
At this time, Marse's mutation extends the plot to an extremely remote branch development route! This is a dangerous road, even a dead end, but Fang Lin is the one who likes to take risks and go astray the most!
If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? If there is no high risk, where is the big reward?
Marse's silence stood for a long time, Marina's blood trickled down the iron armor little by little, soaking in, his eyes were full of dull despair, and after a while he said:
"Okay."
As soon as he said this, the nightmare mark on Fang Lin's chest was hot again, and a hint immediately appeared in front of him:
Embark on a hidden mission to assassinate Skorn, the Knight of Punishment. Difficulty, a, mission objective, to obtain the head of the Knight of Punishment, Skorn. Duration of the mission, twenty-four hours.
When this row of information was displayed, Fang Lin got another prompt:
Because the two groups of subordinate leaders sent out: the silver heavy swordsman Ryan and the fiery red heavy shield hammer Deacon were killed one after another. (Because the protagonist has not learned the art of reckoning, he cannot make out the names of the two plot characters). Enraged, the Knight of Punishment, Skorn, launched an early invasion and will arrive in the town twenty hours later.
Fang Lin looked at this information thoughtfully. As it got dark, he led Marse back to a ruined town nearby, where the two sat on the blazing fire, and Marse always held Marina's body and refused to let go, even if he ate it, he also took it with one hand.
At this time, Fang Lin saw that the war hammer in his hand had been twisted and damaged in the previous fierce battle, and suddenly remembered that after killing Ryan, he also got a two-handed heavy sword, this thing could not be used by himself, and it could not be carried out of this world, so he could only exchange it for a small number of points.
So Fang Lin closed his eyes, and used the short sword in his hand to slash at the wood next to him, intentionally or unintentionally, recalling the wonderful feeling of chopping ribs in the real world, and suddenly opened his eyes for a while, and a blue light appeared in his hand, and slashed hard at the two-handed heavy sword that was burst out by the swordsman leader Lane!
The surface of the heavy sword immediately softened, rippling like a mirror, and the entire weapon was hazy in blue light, and it took a while to settle down, turning into a crooked thick stick, with a faint red light in the darkness of the surface.
However, Fang Lin groaned in pain, he only felt that after cutting out this blow, it was as if the energy of the whole person had been drained, and his temples were also beating violently, and he let out a long breath for a while, but he found that his personal value: spirit had been reduced to only 3 points! It's bright red, glowing as if it's alarming!
This situation made Fang Lin, who had a splitting headache, also nervous, and hurriedly inquired about the Nightmare Mark, and the answer he got was: The real cutting technique mutation effect has appeared, and the use of mental power is excessive, so it is recommended to rest immediately, so as not to cause permanent damage to the effect! The current rate of recovery of spirit is 1 point every 20 minutes. After four hours of deep sleep, complete recovery.
Hearing such an answer, Fang Lin was already slightly relieved, who knew that there was a loud "boom" suddenly next to him, he turned his head to look, and immediately his eyes widened, only to see that Marse didn't know when he had stood up, took the big stick that had just been baked in his hand, and waved it at will, he had already smashed a crooked house next to it to collapse!
"Hey......" Fang Lin reluctantly swallowed the question back into his throat. It wasn't until Marseille had enough of the new weapon in his hand and began to gasp slightly that he said angrily: "Are you still handy?" ”
Marcy's blood-red eyes looked at him for a moment, and the broken corner of the helmet moved up and down in reply. He then sat back on the floor and picked up Marina's body.
Fang Lin could only touch the iron rod at this time, but his fingers could only touch it, but he couldn't pick it up, and a message automatically surfaced in front of him:
"Mutant Thunder Stick: Two-handed weapon, high quality, dark gold weapon, attack 1~20, has a 15% chance to cause 100 extra damage to the enemy and has a blindness effect, requires strength 45, physical strength 40. Soulbound by Marse. ”
As soon as he saw the harsh conditions that required strength of 45 and physical strength of 40, Fang Lin knew that this thing had no fate with him. And Marse's monster can use a two-handed weapon with one hand, and its ** strength can be seen. He was equipped with this weapon that he had accidentally obtained, so Fang Lin was a little more sure of the attack and killing mission.
Calculations may only be close to the truth, but they cannot fully predict the future, and time is always full of too many variables. Fang Lin carefully thought about how many loopholes there were in his plan, and it wasn't until he repeatedly scrutinized it that he raised his head and said to Marse:
"Hey....... I know you're in pain right now."
Marse was like a mass of ruins of steel, motionless.
Fang Lin took out a large leather bag from his hand, pulled out the stopper, and suddenly the rich smell of liquor emanated from it. He took a sip of his mouth and gasped for breath. Suddenly, a big hand reached out and snatched the bag away, and drank it violently.
Looking at Marse, who relieved his sorrows with wine, the corners of Fang Lin's lips rose slightly--------- the first step of the plan had already begun to be implemented. If this bag of wine is not drunk with Marse, then there is a barrel full of barrels behind him.......
The nerves, tormented by pain, naturally need the paralysis of alcohol.
This is also in Fang Lin's plan.
…………………
Marse, who was drunk, slept for fifteen hours because of physical and mental exhaustion!
He was tempted to wake up by the scent.
On the blazing bonfire, a wild boar was roasted, and when it was fully cooked, a little bit of fat came out of the fat and dripped on the fire to make a "squeak" sound.
Marse's Adam's apple twitched up and down, only to feel unbearable thirst, picked up the remaining wine from the barrel next to him and poured it, and then directly tore off a pig's hind leg and gnawed it. Then night had fallen again, and after eating half a pig, Marcel looked to the west, where the sky had been dyed red.
That's the color of blood.
Western...... It's the direction of your own town!
Marcel bounced as if he had been scorched, and reached for his shield and stick. But I heard a flat voice next to me:
"It's too late to go."
It was Fang Lin who spoke, and his expression was reflected by the firelight, giving people a strange feeling.
"I deliberately let you get drunk until this time to wake up, just because I don't want you to miss a big thing."
Marcy's stout body trembled with rage, and he pointed the thunderbolt at him with his hand, but he couldn't smash it down.
"What, what a big deal!!"
"The Punishment Knight Skorn is protected by at least dozens of Heavy Shield Hammermen, and if you count the Heavy Swordsman and the Mask Servant, he doesn't need to use his hands at all, his strength is enough to crush you and me! What else to talk about revenge for Marina? ”
"What does this have to do with what we're waiting for?" Marse roared.
Fang Lin glanced at him coldly and said:
"If we don't let the people of the town consume the strength around Skorn the Knight of Punishment and disperse him, how can we have a chance to face him directly?"
Marse was like an angry bull, panting and glaring at Fang Lin, but he didn't make a move after all. Fang Lin continued lightly:
"We all risked our lives to avenge Marina. If you want to kill me now, then do whatever you want. ”
Marse suddenly picked up the barrel beside him and began to drink again! In fact, this violent and fierce steel beast, in the face of Fang Lin, a calm young man, was actually restrained everywhere, and he grasped his psychological key points extremely accurately! It's like a strange poisonous spider, who has already woven a web and tied the silk to his body one by one! Marse, who had no brute strength, could not move, and could only act by the will of this young man!
After waiting for a while, Fang Lin, who closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly opened his eyes and said:
"It's time, let's go."
