Chapter 68: The Black Demon is destroyed, and the Stone Maiden is born
Before I knew it, the four-month mission time had reached its last day.
At this time, the members of the adventure team were gathered in a spacious and bright room. The walls of the interior are framed with oil paintings of human figures, which are not beautiful and magnificent, unlike those heirlooms that freeze time in the history of art, but the characters in them are like real people, as if living in another illusory world, lively and vivid, and have a unique taste.
However, no one paid attention to their interest, and even the old wizard, who was the current owner of the house, only stared at the items on the table in a daze.
The twisted and cracked silver-plated ring, the blood-stained diary book, and the fragments of the golden cup scattered all over the place, broken into a two-petaled crown, these four things seem to have just been picked out of the garbage heap, but they are the source of the immortal life of the villain boss Voldemort in this world.
Counting the extinct serpent Nagini, as well as Rorschach's sealed scarred remnant soul, and the seven Horcruxes forged by Voldemort's split soul, have all fallen here.
After Rorschach personally crushed the Dark Lord's body three days ago, in the two days when it condensed its consciousness and had no time to look around, the entire adventure team under the leadership of Dumbledore rushed around non-stop, with the advantage of being familiar with the plot and the personal help of the white wizard, everyone directly bypassed those deadly dangers and traps, plus without the hindrance of the Death Eater forces, it was not as tangled and complicated as the original story, and it was easy to collect these props scattered and hidden everywhere.
Then, under Dumbledore's stunned gaze. Ji Qing in the newcomer directly drove the basilisk to bite it, and these evil things, which were claimed to be indestructible, were destroyed in one fell swoop.
At this point, Voldemort has completely lost the opportunity to make a comeback.
It is completely foreseeable that due to the intervention of adventurers, the subsequent development of this mission world will definitely not continue like the original book. With the death of the biggest boss Voldemort and the fall of the Death Eaters, the protagonist Harry Potter naturally lost his fate as a savior, and the remnant soul of the forehead scar was also extracted by Rorschach, and the boy's performance after waking up was completely no different from that of ordinary young students at Hogwarts.
However, considering that this protagonist has gone through many hardships in the future. Fell to the ground like a tragic lone star. Whether this experience was a blessing or a curse is difficult to say.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with the Infinite Space Adventure Squad. In fact, the reason why they chose to help decent wizards solve this problem. It is not at all based on any concept of good and evil. Purely driven by profit.
When everyone returned to the meeting place. Rorschach immediately lifted the seal of the Ice Pendant, allowing Ji Qing to bite the object that held the remnant soul with the basilisk. There are no accidents, this big boss who will never forget. It finally came to an end. Under the echo of a mournful wail, as a cloud of black blood splattered and scattered, the final reward was long overdue.
Immediately afterwards, the rookie woman with long hair and shawl opened her eyes and reported her gains: "The Book of Reincarnation prompted me to eliminate the silver median boss Voldemort by skipping the level, but because it was not a head-on victory, the reward was lowered by one level, a total of 7,000 survival points, and a silver lower 'Magnum Cauldron Fragment'. ”
Rorschach nodded, but he didn't care about the discount: "Being able to get these rewards without experiencing danger is already a good treat for newcomers in their first mission...... Fortunately, I took into account the connection between the Horcruxes and didn't let anyone else interfere, otherwise even seven bronze cards would be worth far less than one silver-level card. ”
He was about to continue talking when he suddenly looked over in surprise
"Huh? You're ......."
Just as we were talking, Rorschach's Book of Reincarnation sent out a reminder, and suddenly there were 13,000 more survival points, as well as a silver lower rank and four bronze level cards, and the source of these items was the newcomer in front of him who took the initiative to give them away.
Seeing Rorschach's questioning gaze, the female college student pulled the hair from her forehead and said softly, "If it weren't for the captain's plan to provide you with free reinforcements and arrange actions, I wouldn't have been able to get these rewards." So, that's up to you......"
"But...... Forget it, just use the team's funds," Rorschach was not interested in coveting what the newcomer had desperately exchanged, and was about to return it, but found that the woman had already set a rejection in the Book of Reincarnation. Seeing her resolute appearance again, she was no longer reluctant, but just changed her words and said, "But...... There's one more thing that I need your help with. ”
"What?" Ji Qing wondered.
Rorschach turned his head, looked at a stone statue of a young girl standing in front of the wall, pointed to the delicate face with a look of surprise, and said lightly, "Take a gun and shoot her." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ji Qing's suddenly changed face and vigilant gaze, and he couldn't help but smile before he explained in a deep voice: "You have also seen that the effect of the World of Warcraft Hunter's 'Calm Divine Strike' to dispel magic is also effective for wizards. 'Petrification' should also be counted as a magic state, although the player cannot attack teammates in the game, so there is no way to tell if this skill can remove their own negative buffs, but the principle should be similar. Although we can eliminate petrification with the 'Cauldron Fragments', we only have eight left, so it would be better to save them. ”
After listening to Rorschach's explanation, Ji Qing reluctantly accepted this statement. But of course, she couldn't really use a gun to strafe her companion with bullets, and after thinking about it, she actually got a toy slingshot out of nowhere, and then like a child, she attached her skills to the stones, trying again and again to disperse the petrification.
As it turned out, this trick did work, although it seemed a bit crooked. Just repeated the collision of the stones three or five times, the lifelike stone statue seemed to have removed a layer of heavy tones, and the texture of lead gray gradually faded, and after lasting for half an hour, Connor, who had been trapped for three days, completely regained her fair normal complexion, and her stiff body also reverted to soft elasticity.
Interestingly, this confused newcomer girl. The memory seems to be still stuck in the time when I went downstairs for breakfast, and as soon as I woke up, I subconsciously picked up the stone next to me and stuffed it into my mouth like gnawing bread. It's just that in the next second, even Rorschach, who was holding a good show, couldn't help but be stunned that this sweet and cute girl actually made a crisp sound of "click", and it really bit the pebbles to pieces, and she realized the dryness of the taste, and immediately spit out "wow".
So far. From the beginning of entering this world. It was because he was busy with the great cause of resurrection that Rorschach, who was a little alienated from the newcomers, was surprised by some strangeness.
"That's it, I'm already a member of a squad anyway, and I'm going to be in the future. Naturally, I will be able to figure it out slowly in the future. Rorschach was suspicious. Seeing the blonde girl's panicked appearance with a flushed face. remembered the scene where she sacrificed herself to save people, so she gave up asking questions for the time being, and directly drew 3,000 survival points. Filled with her book of reincarnation.
"Captain...... This is? Connor was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask weakly.
"It's just a punishment for offsetting the failure of the mission," Rorschach replied with a flat face, "I need to take the Philosopher's Stone, although this special treasure does not need to deduct survival points, but it undoubtedly violates the main quest, and the corresponding punishment will be issued soon." Xiong Shaodong and Ji Qing have both received enough rewards, only you did not participate in the task because you were petrified, so there is no income, you can take these points to save your life. ”
The girl nodded as if she didn't understand, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and the blue light in her hand was faint, and there was already an extra poker-sized card, and then handed it to Rorschach, and said timidly:
"Captain...... I don't know how, but when I woke up, a voice said that I had completed the task of 'fighting off the trolls' and gave me this. ”
"Oh? I didn't expect that Xiong Shaodong's kid almost lost his life, but the reward is with you. Rorschach's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood what was going on, and he didn't break it, took the card in his hand, and observed it carefully.
"Bronze Rank Lower Ability Card 'Constant Constitution Blessing Scroll':
You can specify to select a target to upgrade its general physique-related qualities (including physical strength, muscle and bone toughness, nerve reflexes, and muscle agility) to the upper level of black iron, which is ineffective for those with bronze or higher mental power, and the remaining times are 5/5. ”
"Hey, speaking of which, I seem to have a matching card for this card, but it's the amplification of the brain and mental strength, as if it were a reward for conquering the Ghoul Lumberyard. Well, it seems...... The rewards for newcomer missions should be similar, and they are all about improving basic qualities. Rorschach thought about it, but he didn't think it was strange, after all, although all kinds of extraordinary abilities had great prospects, at the most basic level, his body was the most reliable. An adventurer with the upper level skills of black iron but only an otaku physique, even if he can release fireballs to burn people into charcoal, but against an enemy who has both elite special forces and the dexterity of an Olympic gymnastics champion, even if he has no special ability, there is almost no possibility of victory.
These two basic cards are naturally of no use to Rorschach at this time. However, it can be used by Ji Qing and Xiong Shaodong, although one of these two newcomers has strengthened the wizard and the other has become a hunter, but they have only obtained the corresponding skills, and their basic qualities are only a little better than before, which can increase some survivability.
However, those are all small things, and then the business begins.
After relieving the last worries, Rorschach suddenly took a deep breath, gently rubbed the oval stone in his palm, and asked Ji Qing to take the girl aside to explain what was going on, and then turned around and walked out.
By the time he arrived in the Slytherin chambers, there was already a figure there.
The crimson and patches of samurai armor, the white spring light that exposes the joints and thin waists, can still appear in such a cool and beautiful dress in this winter snowy weather, and with this amazing bust and long purple hair, there is only the former corpse who has become a death knight.
The girl, whose temperament was completely opposite to the revealing dress, looked up and said in a soft and expectant voice: "Master...... We...... Can you see your sister? ”
Rorschach nodded.
Behind the samurai Ji guarded, wisps of cold air diffused in the air, and under the white mist that rose faintly, was a pure ice coffin three meters long and two meters wide, crystal clear. (To be continued......)
