Chapter 176: The Spiders Join

The magic bell tinkled and jingled.

Lu Mengyao lay on the table, her slight and even breathing coming out of her nose. After hearing the bell, her ears moved slightly. The woman who had fallen asleep on the table reached out and fumbled around with the tabletop, accidentally inserting her finger into a large plate of goat cheese.

"Oh my God." She looked up, shoved her dessert stained finger into her mouth and licked it, then pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her fingers clean.

The bell on the table was still ringing, and she looked at it to make sure it was the person who had sent the message.

The female mage brushed her messy hair with her fingers, picked up the bell, and blew on it with her mouth to start the conversation.

"What's wrong? Will you use this bell? ”

At that time, considering the convenience of contact between the two parties, Lu Mengyao gave Su Jing a magic prop made by himself, this kind of communication bell is similar to a mobile phone, and the function is also very simple, just to provide voice contact between the two parties.

"Me? I'm here...... Uh, think about strategy. You know how to beat you into a heap of soaring. ”

Lu Mengyao rubbed her face, making her voice sound more energetic. She picked up a dinner knife and plunged it into the center of the plate of cheese on the table, then cut the half-eaten dessert into small slices one by one. The tender yellow goat cheese is a very popular snack in Skyrim Province, with a creamy aroma and tender texture, and sweet tooth lovers like Lu Mengyao can eat a whole plate in one sitting.

She poked a piece of cheese from her knife and threw it into her mouth, and her expression froze.

“…… What did you say?! You said that the Thousand Nights Lion Roar has already contacted you?! Wait a minute. I'll contact you in three minutes. ”

Lu Mengyao hung up the magic bell all of a sudden. The silver knife swirled nimbly between her fingers, and she gripped the hilt. A knife pierced the plate. She grabbed a handful of slices of cheese in one gulp and chewed hard in anger. A slender belly beneath her robe. A patch of white skin above the navel faintly emerged with an intricate magic array. This magic array was glowing with a faint light, and it seemed that as the high-calorie food was digested, its efficiency began to increase.

"He's X, how could he be so fast...... The lion of the thousand nights roared at that idiot, and he confessed to him like this! ”

Covering his forehead, he groaned for a long time. The female mage has realized that she is in the middle of two forks in the road, and she has a choice to choose between continuing to stand on the side of the Seven Nights Lion's Roar or choosing the more dangerous and difficult path. Admittedly, she also has a way to continue to be ambiguous. But......

There is no time left. This is already the most reluctant choice opportunity. Although she didn't know why the lion's roar in the seven nights of the road would give both sides an ultimatum for two weeks, she had no doubt about the authenticity of this matter.

Lu Mengyao picked up the magic bell again, she wanted to confirm one thing, just before she really made a decision.

The bell of magic began to ring, and then she heard the voice from the other side. Lu Mengyao knew what she should ask, she took a breath and asked:

"Hey, Jing. I seriously ask you one thing. ”

"You...... Believe me? ”

"Good. So. I want the life of your little girlfriend, can you give it to me? ”

“……………… Good. I got it. ”

After hanging up the communication, Lu Mengyao sighed, and then poured herself a glass of mead. Drink it all.

“…… Stingy. ”

————————————

[To put it simply, this Thousand Nights Lion's Roar is part of an organization called the Chaos Insurgency.] This group of people can be understood as terrorists in the game of heaven, who make it their mission to provoke fights. They have been active in several warband-to-war battles before. It's dangerous, but it's also powerful. 】

"I've learned that. You can say something more valuable. Su Jing used a piece of charcoal to depict the shape of the lion's roar in the thousand nights on the white paper, and the long knife at his waist was the focus of his depiction.

In front of him, in the bell of communication. The mage's slightly low, magnetic tone came with a slight murmur.

[I applied to join the Chaos Insurgency before. Then, the initiation ceremony of the Insurgency is to deliberately kill an adventurer in a mission world. This is the vote to join them. Then, at the time of the ceremony, there will be an organizationally dispatched "overseer", the kind who has enough combat power to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations. The Thousand Nights Lion's Roar is my "Overseer", who is responsible for monitoring my movements and arbiting whether I am eligible to join. 】

"So, how strong is he?"

[Five-star. And most likely at the pinnacle of five-star. You know, because these insurgents often hunt adventurers, they are very rich in various props and possessions. In other words, he is enough to kill us a dozen or twenty times combined. 】

"Let's be intuitive, let's talk about his approximate strength."

Alduin. At least it is as strong as the final boss of this world, Oduin. Considering that he is a pure combat adventurer, coupled with the diversity of skills and items of the adventurer himself...... He should be able to secure a win over Alduin. Alduin, of course, in his mortal form. 】

"Considering that he can already control the dragons, then we have to raise the strength he has even more - multiply that by two, no, multiply by three. By the way, there's also that Dragonborn named Angelina...... I reckon he controlled her with some kind of mental skill. ”

【…… Yes. Basically, even if we join forces, the odds of winning are slim. If we add the armies we can control, with these mortal armies, we may be able to contain those dragons for a while. 】

"Do you know how many dragons there are under the command of Alduin? How many dragons are there at its disposal? Su Jing punched a cross on the face of the monk who was drawing on the paper, "As far as I know, there will be no less than thirty." It may even be more than fifty heads. Fifty four-star dragons, how many dragons do you think we can lure away with mortal soldiers? ”

【…… More than fifty, to be exact. According to my observations and calculations these days, if Alduin summons with all his might...... The total amount of dragons it can summon. It can reach up to 100 heads...... Above. 】

Su Jing's eyebrows raised slightly.

"It's fantastic. 100,000 universal points, and more than 100 pieces of three-star keel equipment. Our collection is going to increase again. ”

[There are also some elite among the dragons.] The intensity can reach five stars. You know, those old dragons who are proficient in dragon roar skills. There are also those with names and surnames in the plot. Although, Alduin may not have very much control over them. But considering that there are a thousand nights of lion roaring, it is best to consider the worst-case scenario. 】

"Generally speaking, the combat power of adventurers is above that of plot monsters of the same star. Especially this mass-produced monster, it's easier to kill, that's how it is calculated. ”

[That's right. This is our strength. Either of us can single out more than one dragon. Even if it's a five-star elite dragon, we only need two people...... The three of them working together is not too difficult, but the last thing is still not to get around the Thousand Nights Lion Roar. He is also an adventurer, and an adventurer whose strength is above us. This guy is too strong. 】

"Okay, so, what exactly is this guy's enhancement and skill? Do you know the truth? ”

[I haven't had much contact with him before, just a little hearsay. This guy, according to what I heard, is strengthening in a similar direction to you, and it is all exoskeleton armor type. His armor comes from the "Sword Armor" in "Armored Ghost Muramasa", a kind of sci-fi ancient martial arts sword armor with its own thoughts. 】

"It's okay to do something so unpopular?!"

Coincidentally, Su Jing had played this "Armored Ghost Muramasa" before. A GALGAME with a rather improper outlook, the content and background setting are distorted, and the characters in it all have some degree of mental illness, full of weird morals and fanatical militarism.

The main plot is about Japan in some alienated history. The country is ruled by the military regime "Six Poles", and in the joint efforts of foreign colonists and Six Poles to oppress the world, the story of a wandering warrior chasing and killing his murder demon sister. The tone of the story is slightly similar to my country's anti-Japanese dramas. It's just that it is the Japanese people who are being oppressed, and the evil aggressors are Europe and the United States. The national government of the scrap wood was replaced by six poles. Of course, these are basically irrelevant, so the following is only a description of the setting of the "sword sword".

"Sword Sword" is a unique idea in "Armored Demon Muramasa". Weapon-crafting craftsmen create gigantic robotic armor capable of flying, and then sacrifice their lives to imbue these armors with soul and wisdom. Su Jing guessed that this setting may be a reference to the ancient Chinese legend of the cadre Mo Xie.

These "real fights" made by craftsmen who sacrificed their lives have a powerful force that mortals cannot stop, not only can they fly, but each "real fight sword" has a unique strange ability that is generated according to its production concept. For example, the sword of the main character in the story, "Goro Soshu Irimichimuramasa", can control the magnetic force. But these abilities absorb heat from the driver's body every time they are used, making them a dangerous double-edged sword.

Ignore the rest of the minutiae, and in a nutshell, the sword is a powerful weapon armor with intelligence (deformable and superpowers).

[The Seven Nights Lion's Roar once mentioned to me the name of his sword, Myoho-renge-kawai Muramasa, I guess it's part of his sword.] Normally, like you, he may have his armor carded and only summon his outfit during battle. In addition, I guess you've seen it, and his swordsmanship is quite powerful. Considering those mantra tattoos on his body, we have one more to add: it is likely that he has extremely powerful Eastern Buddhist spells...... God, the more I talk about it, the more I feel like we're facing an enemy that can't be defeated......]

"Don't panic, at most, one of us will sacrifice himself and meet the conditions he asks." Su Jing laughed while recording the information Lu Mengyao said.

【……………… Feed. When the time comes, you'll kill me. 】

Su Jing frowned.

"What stupid are you talking about?"

[I'm just...... Tut. Instead of killing you and bowing to him, it's better for you to just give me a good idea. 】

The woman talking across from her seemed a little irritated.

[I mean, I've always wanted to live as free as you...... I joined the Chaos Insurgency partly because they were strong, and partly because, I thought I had the power to kill. I'm not saying I agree with their philosophy, I just think that the unspoken rules between these adventurers right now are very unreasonable. Why do we have to help each other? Why can't we kill each other? But the situation we are facing now is not what I wanted. We have the right to kill each other, but, more importantly, we should also have the right to choose not to kill...... And the Thousand Nights Lion's Roar makes me sick. He forced you and me to kill each other. Then I make a choice of my free will: I will kill someone, but not with you, but with him. Honestly, I'm going to cut off his bald head and show him what happens to us. 】

It's so fierce that it doesn't look like a girl's speech.

"Good girl. This is my favorite Miss Lu. Su Jing happily turned the slender carbon strip in his hand and threw it as a dart, "So...... This time a collaboration? ”

[Let this arrogant guy see what I can do when I join forces with you.] 】

On the other side of the communication, Lu Mengyao sneered and shook the dinner knife between her fingers, which was inserted in the center of a piece of parchment used to write magic scrolls. (To be continued......)
