162 Escape (Part II)
The exquisite pendant that Gregory took out was obviously in the style of an elf from the point of view of craftsmanship, as long as you are not blind, you will know that it is a thing with age, and the material used is the tender tip of the glow sacred tree with the greatest affinity for the light element, and a trace of divine energy swirls and flows in it, which is very competent as bait.

Of course, meeting Doug, a special person who was already extremely wary of Gregory, all of the above was in vain.
"Is this what a real apparition just now! I 100% thought it was your Excellency lying there......
Doug looked at it for a moment, seemingly interested, before finally waving his hand and directing the skeleton golem towards the pendant on the ground, as if trying to get it to take it.
The spirit in Gregory's eyes jumped slightly, and then he looked at the skeleton golem and let out a loud "Ah!", as if surprised.
β...... How?"
Doug, who had been watching him closely, immediately stopped the skeleton puppet's actions and asked very cooperatively, "You seem surprised that I didn't go to get this thing myself?"
I want to know that this insidious little boy will not make such a low-level mistake, and I don't know what tricks he is planning!
"That's not the case, sir, don't get me wrong......"
Gregory's voice sounded like he was about to cry in fright, and waved his hand vigorously: "I just don't want to cause you to misunderstand - although the only function of this 'Radiance Guardian' is to create a realistic stand-in of the user himself, and it is not aggressive, but the materials it uses are all things that contain strong radiant holy power, and once it is touched by unclean things, it will instinctively attack, and I am afraid that it will hurt you, well, servant......"
"Yes, my servant is not as fragile as you think. β
Doug's hoarse voice sounded disapproving, and with a slight wave of his hand, the skeleton golem began to walk slowly towards the pendant on the ground again, and under Gregory's 'nervous' gaze, he mechanically bent down and picked up the pendant in his hand.
The moment it made contact with the bone puppet's fingers, the pendant flickered slightly, as if it had casually counterattacked, but then it seemed to discover that it was a necromantic creature that dared to touch it, and suddenly revealed a fiery and furious light, and under this light, the skeleton golem's arm dissolved as quickly as a block of melted ice, until it could no longer hold the pendant, and fell to the ground with a thud.
The light attached to the skeleton puppet continued to rise upwards until half of the puppet's shoulders were melted away, and then it lost its momentum and gradually weakened and disappeared.
"Look...... Sure enough......"
Gregory muttered aggrievedly, as if he was a little disapproving that Doug was not listening to his own opinion.
Doug, who was determined to delay time, of course would not just try to do this, snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the skeleton puppet to step forward slowly again, the difference was that the remaining hand did not directly touch the pendant this time, but dug a thick layer of dirt along it, and held it all over.
The spirit in Gregory's left eye flickered slightly, and his body did not react.
Bang!
Just as the skeleton puppet staggered towards its master, the lump of dirt suddenly exploded for some reason, and the pendant fell directly on the puppet's body again, and after the same light as the previous time, the badly damaged skeleton puppet could no longer sustain itself, and after a wail, it slammed into a cloud of black mist, which drifted away with the wind.
"Humph!"
Doug snorted coldly, his sharp gaze swept over Gregory's body, as if he suspected that he was making trouble.
"I have warned you, Your Excellency. β
Gregory opened his hands in a gesture of surrender, and innocently whispered in defense, "It's better for you to take it yourself......
"Do you think I'm going to be fooled?"
Doug sneered a few times cooperatively, "Maybe your fundamental purpose is to let me touch this pendant that I don't know what trap is hidden, right?"
"How is this possible!"
Gregory shook his head vigorously, "What you want to do with this thing is entirely up to you!If you're not at ease, why don't you just let me go? If it's far enough away, there's no point in whatever I want to do!"
"You think I'm going to let you go for help?"
Doug's eagle-like gaze stared at the young man, and the killing intent on the surface instantly rose: "Do I look so stupid?
"Your Excellency, don't get me wrong!"
Gregory once again behaved as a 'panicked child', "I am but a puppet, who will obey my commands!
As he spoke, the boy did not hesitate to take off all the ornaments on his body, even the tattered robe of the priest outside, and soon all he was left with a thin underwear, and everything else was piled on the ground.
- Except, of course, the ring on the finger.
"That's it, it's okay!"
The young man took the initiative to push those ornaments far away as if escaping the disaster, put his hands on his chest and hugged himself, and his body, which was only wearing underwear, trembled slightly in the cool breeze: "Without these things, I will not be able to launch a powerful attack...... Can you rest assured that I will leave?"
"Hmm...... Huh?"
Doug pretended to muse for a moment, but then his eyes were drawn to what was on Gregory's hand: "The ring on your hand...... What is it?"
As he asked, he quickly raised his guard in secret. Gregory was wrapping his hands around him, and the hand with the ring was hidden under the other arm, as if he wanted to hide it, but anyone with a little skill could see it at a glance, and it was really impossible not to notice it - so Gregory was probably ready to start the sinister little boy?
"Ah...... It was the only memento my mom left me, it was of no use, just an ordinary ring......"
Gregory wanted to hide his hand with the ring behind him, and there was a hint of panic in his voice: "It's really just an ordinary ring, and I always carry it with me in order to remember my mother's instructions!"
"Give me that ring!"
Doug spoke gloomily, and his heart was even more vigilant. Now he was almost sure that the key to the conspiracy of Gregory's sinister little boy was in this ring, but the ring looked very inconspicuous, and he didn't feel any fluctuations, so he couldn't judge at all, so he could only take the initiative to test it.
"No, no!"
There seemed to be a hint of courage in Gregory's voice, and his body was not so shaky: "This is the only thing that has to do with my mother!
The boy even 'unconsciously' clenched his fists - based on the current state of Gregory's body, it took him a lot of effort to perform this series of subtle details.
"I repeat, give me that ring...... Or do you want me to express myself in some other way, my Great Sage?"
Doug cooperates and begins a verbal tug-of-war that wastes saliva. He was satisfied with wasting his time like this before Linax arrived, and then again, if Gregory really wanted to give him the ring, he would never dare to ask for it! After all, Sanin, the main god that Gregory served, seemed to hate his predecessor Byron very much, what if the ring had some secret connection with that grumpy guy? He didn't want to see that nightmarish one-kilometer-diameter pillar of light again!
"No...... No way!"
After a moment of hesitation, Gregoria's attitude became resolute: "This is the most important thing for me, I can't give it up!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already raised his arm and began to condense the light element, and the magic structure that was quietly lurking around him like a shark was immediately activated, because Gregory wanted to prove that his strength was obtained from the addition of those ornaments on the ground, so this time he condensed a pitiful amount of light element, only enough to barely fill a medium-sized electric shock magic - but in the flash of electricity, Gregory who seemed to be caught off guard screamed half a scream and fell directly to the ground, his whole body convulsed.
True******...... Trouble!
Looking at the boy who was convulsing on the ground in amazement, Doug's good mood suddenly disappeared. He knew what kind of strength Gregory had, and naturally knew that all this was just the little kid's excellent acting skills, but now that the 'plot' has developed like this, how he should deal with it has become a bit of a tricky problem: if he is too vigilant and never fooled, Gregory will naturally die and run away, and it is difficult to say whether he can follow him at that time, and if he is a little tricky in order to stabilize the little boy's heart, he is not willing to gamble with his own safety......
Damn it!
Doug pursed his lips and cursed again silently, and finally could only 'seize the opportunity' to cast a few hidden spells around Gregory, and then 'half-believed' began to test the boy on the ground - the god of conservation struggled to balance the scale between 'try to delay time' and 'don't go overboard', and felt more difficult than the life-and-death struggle just now.
But perhaps the thing that would make him feel better was that Gregory was in a bad mood on the other side.
He had already abandoned his pride to play this part, but the mysterious man on the other side was still unmoved, and the degree of caution made people very helpless, but he had no other way but to wait - he couldn't take the initiative to reach out, right?
Well?
Doug, who was secretly frowning, suddenly froze, and then the corners of his mouth suddenly curled, and suddenly boldly approached Gregory's side for a distance - the invisible spatial fluctuations told him that Linax had arrived, and now the thing to do at this time had become 'stabilize the prey'!
"It seems that I was really defeated by my own energy...... Stupid guy. β
Doug sneered in a proud tone, and slowly approached Gregory's side: "Even a monkey will not repeat the same mistake after suffering it!"
He sighed loudly as he continued unhurriedly towards Gregory, but just as he was still five or six steps away from the Great Sage, Gregory, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, suddenly launched an attack impatiently, and the Blade of Piety instantly turned into a sharp beam of light, stabbing towards Doug's heart at a terrifying speed!
"!"
Doug cursed angrily, and subconsciously hit two energy-absorbing magic structures in a row, but looking at the beam of light that did not change at all, he suddenly realized that the situation was not right, and immediately consumed his own energy without hesitation, and carried out three consecutive teleportations at the last moment!
Boom!
The Blade of Devotion shone brightly under the urging of Gregory's best efforts, and even the air was scorched to the point of crackling sound wherever it passed, like a string of condensed lightning bolts with thunder, and an invisible beam of light enveloped a fan-shaped area in front of him, and Gregory thought that no matter how fast his opponent moved, he would be hit - but alas, Doug used teleportation that defied the laws of space, and had already practiced it as skillfully as the instinct to eat and drink.
After the gorgeous and deadly light swept through, Gregory and Doug froze in place at the same time, the divine brilliance in the former's left eye greatly diminished, and the latter's breath was short, and his back was covered with a fine layer of cold sweat in the blink of an eye.
Where are the flaws?
Doug gritted his teeth, his face showing hideous lines, and his mind was quickly replaying the scene of Fang Cai, trying to find out what exactly he had exposed. In fact, Doug's acting skills are indeed flawless, but he just underestimated Gregory, you must know that the young sage who pretended to be unconscious has been observing the world with the divine light given by Sanin, and the spatial fluctuations caused by Linax naturally cannot avoid his induction, and then in connection with Doug's sudden bold abnormal behavior, he is alert, which will launch an offensive against Doug in advance.
"There are so many incredible things in this world. β
Linax's low, gentle voice sounded leisurely in the air: "A Sanin believer that I have confirmed to be dead has actually appeared in front of me alive again...... I can't believe my eyes. β
The dragon lich's usual graceful expression was gone, and he stared with great interest at the embarrassed Gregory on the ground, his eyes shining with a research freak, and a rare hint of excitement in his tone, obviously interested in sending this strange human into his laboratory immediately to study it.
"Tsk...... You can catch him first!"
Doug stared at Gregory and whispered, so distracted that he didn't even look up at Linax: "This little kid is an extremely cunning and sinister guy, and you are the one who accidentally suffers!"
"Got it. β
The dragon lich's dark eyes flashed slightly, staring at Gregory and waving his hand elegantly, several flickering runes instantly appeared beside Gregory, and in the center of the flickering light, countless broken spatial doors were spinning at high speed.
Divine Magic @ Wail of the Prowler!
This demigod power from Linax, a magic spell that contains countless spatial labyrinths, once the enemy falls into it, he will be immediately surrounded by countless criss-crossing spaces, and he can't rush out no matter what, unless the enemy is strong enough to shatter the space, otherwise he can only wait until the energy is exhausted, or Linax lets him out.
As a genius prodigy, Gregory, who has extensive knowledge, is naturally a person who knows goods, and instantly judged the horror of these lights, and no matter what else he had, he immediately activated all the trigger-type magic hidden in his body, and all kinds of gorgeous auras suddenly flashed, and Gregory, who had paid a huge price, successfully avoided the encirclement of the dragon lich magic, and stumbled into the distance in an extremely ugly posture to escape again.
And behind him, the ornaments that had been taken off and piled on the ground before seemed to have received an order, and they were also collectively stimulated, and these attack magic accounted for the majority, and in a series of explosions, the pillars of light flashed wildly without aim, and they were indiscriminately shot at all, even if Doug could teleport, in order to avoid a tragedy similar to 'sending himself to the muzzle', he could only temporarily lie on the ground, and watched Gregory's trail quickly disappear into the distance.
Tut...... I don't know, I think Lao Tzu did something perverted!
Looking at the back of Gregory, who was only in torn underwear, running away wildly, Doug couldn't help but sigh. Such a result had long been expected by him, and the little boy could stand out from countless intrigues and become a great sage, and naturally had a wealth of experience in saving his life...... However, Gregory had clearly not seen the tricks of the guys who specialized in 'night work' in the dark world.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Doug's mouth as he stood up, and he waved his hand to greet Linax, and before he could answer, his figure had disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he was already in the direction where Grigory had fledβalthough the sinister little boy was very proficient in magic, Doug was a character who had once dipped his dagger in blood and mixed food, and had already made several secret notes when he pretended to search for Gregory's 'corpse' just now, ensuring that the young sage would not be able to get rid of it even if he was ruthless and ran naked.
One more 'squeeze' is almost ready to go, right?
While distinguishing the faint smell in the air, Doug calculated how much equipment Gregory had scrapped just now - for a cunning and dangerous prey like Gregory, a qualified tracker must not push him into a desperate situation at one time, but must carefully control the pressure, divide it into several steps to approach the target, and squeeze out his limit each time, and after squeezing it two or three times, the danger will naturally be greatly reduced......
"He went to the place where the plague gathered, my Lord God. β
Linax in the sky opened his eyes and reported to Doug the results of the investigation of the spirits he had sent.
"Disaster victims?"
Doug's brow furrowed, "Is he trying to use the victims as cover, or does he have some kind of idea?"
"You'll find out if you catch up. β
There was an unmistakable emphasis in the dragon lich's indifferent voice: "I am very curious about his experience...... It is unforgivable to miss out on such exciting research material. β
"Let's go, then. β
Doug pouted imperceptibly. It didn't matter if Gregory had any tricks up his sleeve now, once a powerful research freak like Linax got serious...... The consequences are unpredictable!
The brilliance of the divine technique flashed, and his figure disappeared in place in an instant.
