Chapter 138: Optional Difficulty
Avi shook her head, as if she hadn't heard clearly, and Felistie immediately repeated: "Inviolable, so there is no way to hurt her with your sharp weapons." β
"I still don't get it. β
Felisty further explained, "It's a secret of Golia, and I've seen her abilities firsthand. On one occasion, an assassination party of Imperial Chancellor Hollow attempted to attack Goliath while she was praying in the cathedral. Unexpectedly, whether it was crossbow arrows or swords, whenever these murderous weapons wanted to attack her body, those swords and crossbow arrows would deviate from their original tracks. β
With that, the red-haired girl took out two magnets from her bosom, saying that they had been found to explain to Miss Delia's old ministry that Golia's special abilities were on, "just like this." She put the two magnets against each other, but if the two magnets came into close proximity, they would be immediately pushed apart by an invisible force and would not touch each other.
Avi picked up the magnet and studied it himself. The first time he came into contact with this kind of thing, perhaps the well-informed Miranda had long since stopped playing with the gadget in his hands, but it became a fun toy. He found that if two magnets were approached by the same shape, they would repel each other, while the other side would attract.
The swords in the hands of the assassins struck Goliath, but Goliath stood motionless, no matter how the assassins stabbed her, as if they had touched the surface of a magnet at the same pole, and was pushed aside by an unknown external force. The same goes for the crossbow bolts that come from afar, and they can't do her the slightest damage," Felistie snatched the magnet from Avi's hand and put it back in her trouser pocket, "I've been with Goliath for so long, and I've never seen anyone get their hands on her body, or just a sharp weapon, maybe even the people closest to her want to hug her." β
"Does she have any other relatives who are closest to her?" Avi meant clearly.
"I don't know, it shouldn't be anymore, Miss Delia, she didn't mention the other relatives of theirs. β
Both Avi and Felisty fell silent at the same time. If what Felisti said was true, then with Avi's own abilities now, it was impossible to avenge Miss Delia. However, Avi thinks that this ability on Golia's body is just the effect of an enchanted weapon, and it will not block the approach of other objects - after all, isn't it Goliath who held her head that day?
The red-haired girl could see Avi's confusion, and she said, "Don't worry, although those weapons will not be able to attack Goliath like a magnet, we can still poison them," she said, and took out a small pink pill from her trouser pocket, "You take this, and if you have the chance, send it to Golia's mouth." β
Avi took the pink pill with both hands, and he quickly took out the old box used to hold the enchantment ring, intending to open the box and put the pill in. When he opened the box, he remembered that in addition to the enchanted ring, there was also the bottle of potion that the strange doctor George had given him in the City of Honor. He didn't look at it much, but just put the pill next to the potion - the yellowish turbid potion was a new medicine developed by George, and the other party had suggested that he drink it for the unconscious Commander Andre, and it seemed that he now had both a medicine that could save people and kill people.
"In addition to the medicine, the regent Xiumo must know about Golia's abilities, and if Xiumo really intends to eradicate Golia, he will definitely find a way. Felisty said as she saw Avi put away the pills.
Avi nodded, he didn't know Goliath, but the other party just touched his brain, and he let himself unconscious for the whole day, and it seemed that he was still talking to the person in his consciousness. Coupled with what Felisti said today, Delia's own sister and mage heir Goliath is already like a demonic existence with infinite power, but it is extremely difficult for them to kill her and avenge Miss Delia.
"Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"
"It's almost the same thing to pay attention to, after all, I am not very close to her, and she keeps her distance from everyone, so" Avi knew that Felisti was a relatively close person to Golia, but she didn't expect Golia to be wary of the orphans that her sister picked up, and it seemed that she could not be of much use.
"According to our information, Golia's whereabouts are uncertain now, it may be in Doret City, it may be in the Righteous King City, and it is possible that she is not here at all. Felisty said suddenly.
Avi remembered that before he left the Potato Mercenary Regiment, he received information that the Virgin Golia had led some troops to the Righteous King City to defend the defensive line. Now that Felisty says that Golia's location is uncertain, is she really spreading her wings?
"Don't think about it, look at me," Felisty suddenly reached out and turned Avi's face away, and then pulled the other person's face back, "Who am I?" At this time, the person sitting in front of Avi has become a woman who is exactly the same as Miss Delia, but there is no gardenia tattoo on her neck, and there is more softness between her eyebrows and eyes, and her temperament is completely different!
Before Avi could react, Felisti reached out and pushed Avi's face to the other side and pulled it back, the red-haired girl had already turned into someone else and turned back into herself in just a few seconds, this is simply the most incredible magic! If hiding behind Avi just now and using the transmogrification magic to turn into Miss Delia can still make him accept, then this time the transmogrification in a few seconds made Avi feel terrible and surprised.
"Who are you?" Avi asked the other question.
"Me?" Filistie pointed at herself with her finger, and then immediately threw out two slaps, "snapping" twice, waking Avi, "Of course I'm Felisti." And I'm telling you, it's very easy to see through the transfigation just now, because I've only transfigured it to you, and if Carrie and Fan were standing behind you, they'd see that I hadn't changed at all. β
Avi was beaten so much that his face turned red, and he subconsciously stroked his face with his hand, "It's amazing, can this magic teach me?"
"No, that's my rule. β
Seeing that the red-haired girl's tone suddenly became tougher, Avi was embarrassed to continue to ask, after all, although the other party was one year younger than herself, she was now the leader of the two-color blade mercenary group, and the leaders of all Miss Delia's old department, the necessary respect was still required.
"Let's talk about your mission. β
Avi nodded, he knew that although he didn't have any special abilities, he was willing to give as much as he could, and his second life was given by Miss Delia.
The red-haired girl took out three secret letters, each of which was sealed, and could see that each secret letter was hidden inside, presumably with the task she might be assigned to complete.
Avi pointed his finger at the three letters, "Do I need to choose one?"
"Do you like to be clever with yourself?" Phylistie asked suddenly, "you have to remember that we are a mercenary group, not an acrobatic group. And I'm your superior, I'm the head of this mercenary group. When I didn't speak, you were allowed to do this and say that, don't you just ask me questions, do you understand?" The red-haired girl's attitude suddenly deteriorated, although she hadn't smiled much before, but at this time she was obviously very dissatisfied with Avi's approach.
Avi then remembered that when he was rescued, Miss Delia was also very serious about herself. Even in the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, except for a few people who took care of themselves, the squadron leaders and squad leaders of the other squadrons were very serious and did not smile. It seems that not every mercenary group's internal relationship is like that of the potato mercenary group, so harmonious, you can talk and laugh. Avi immediately withdrew his hand, waiting for the next step of the leader of the two-color blade mercenary group.
"I have prepared three plans to kill Golia, the first one is poisoning, and the pill just now has been handed over to you. But even if the first plan is not your responsibility, that pill may have a chance to work," Felisty said, looking at Avi's eyes with a hint of weirdness, "There are two other plans, and these three plans have been written on three secret letters. The three options are divided into easy, medium, and difficult according to the difficulty, with poisoning being the medium difficulty. β
"Then if this pill is given to me, wouldn't it?"
"Although there are not many highly toxic pills of this kind, I still have a few more, and if you don't choose the medium-difficulty poisoning plan, then you still keep that pill. If you want to take full responsibility for the poisoning plan, then choose this secret letter. Felisty pulled out one of the secret letters and placed it on the table.
Avi didn't pick up the secret letter, he had never tried poisoning, and he didn't even know much about poison. If you want to poison yourself, you must be close to Golia's food, that is, you must find Goliath first, which seems to be not easy, "I'd better listen to the other two missions first." β
Felisty placed one of the letters on the table on the left-hand side, "This is the most difficult mission option, you only need to take one of the things I gave you, and then we will send many people to protect you, so that you will definitely have a chance to meet Golia." β
"And then?"
"Let that kill her. β
Avi immediately asked, "What is it?" didn't you say she was invulnerable?"
"First of all, I just know that her ability is called 'inviolability', not invulnerability, and what I give you is not the same as a normal weapon. If you had chosen something like that, I would have been one of your protectors, and I would have given it to you when necessary, and now you don't need to know that much. Her tone was cold, and the expression on her face was cold, just like the weather outside.
"Okay, then you tell the easy one. β
"The easy task is for you to be sent to a special unit of the East Oguna Empire along with some of Miss Deria's old troops," Felisty put the last secret letter on the right hand side of the table, "This special force is still being prepared, according to Saresa you know who Saresa is, right?"
"It seems to be the commander-in-chief of the invading army of the East Oguna Empire. He replied.
"That's right, this special force was formed by Saresa and Prime Minister Hollow, in order to select those elites who are willing to serve the East Oguna Empire, and gather their forces to deal with Golia, as well as the difficult guys around Golia," Felisty tapped the secret letter with her finger. Since we helped the East Oguna Empire take the windmill city in the south, the commander-in-chief Saresa specially gave us three places, and if we wanted, we could send three people to join this special force, and then we would advance under the cover of the East Oguna Empire's army, with Golia as the goal. β
When Avi heard this, he felt that this task was indeed the easiest. Not to mention that you don't have to face Golia alone in the end of the most difficult mission, and you have to kill the opponent with your own hands, it is the help of this special unit that is enough to make this plan much less difficult. You must know that with the support of the regular army of the East Oguna Empire, as well as the strong men with all kinds of unique skills in the special forces, it may not be the turn of the three people of the two-color blade mercenary group to take action in person, and the holy daughter Golia will
"You must think this simple plan is really simple, don't you? It's not as simple as you think, first you have to pass their test," Felisti said, suddenly lowering her voice, "Everyone in Saresa's special unit must pass the loyalty test, but we don't have it here. β
Avi was a little surprised, "Leader, you mean that in the old department of the Two-Color Blade Mercenary Regiment, there are people who are secretly on Golia's side?!"
Felisti shook her head, and a few long red hairs fell on the table, "I can't say for sure if there is or not, but I believe that most of the mercenaries of the Two-Color Blade Mercenary Regiment are bent on avenging Miss Delia, because we have all received Miss Delia's favor." Felisti's words gave Avi new confidence. Although Avi had witnessed Alain's rebels kill Eddie's Squadron Leader, after all, he couldn't even believe his own companions, so how could he face an enemy ten times stronger than himself?
"If I choose to join that special unit, will I encounter any difficulties?" Avi thought for a moment, still thinking that it would be better to poison and finally face a magician alone with an unknown weapon.
Felisty tapped her finger on the letter that contained the simplest of tasks, "You just need to protect yourself, it doesn't matter if you don't drag those people back, anyway, those people want to take Golia's head, if you don't have the strength, they will feel that they have one less competitor." As long as you promise not to be a spy sent by Goliath, then there is no problem. β
Seeing that Avi was still a little hesitant, the red-haired girl introduced a little more about the choice of tasks. She said that if she was poisoned, she would leave for the city of the Righteous King in the near future, because Golia was the most likely to be in that place. And before you leave here, there will be someone to teach you some cooking and poisoning skills, so that you don't have to hold a poison and not know how to use it. If Golia's exact location is confirmed, finding a way to infiltrate her team of chefs is the first option, and it's not easy.
The special forces that choose to join Saresa must immediately leave for the base of the East Oguna Empire's invading army, where they will naturally be answered. Three candidates have been decided, and the remaining two places will be given priority to Avi and Fan, and if there are vacancies, the best players in Miss Delia's old department will be selected. Once there, you will enter a completely enclosed environment and enjoy the highest standard of treatment and protection. Because this special unit has only one goal, it is clear and unambiguous, and it does not need to join the war of the country's regular army.
"As for the most difficult solution," Felisty mused, "this option is actually Carrie's first choice. β
Avi heard Felisty mention Carrie and couldn't help but ask, "Then why do you have to give me a choice?"
"Because I haven't decided when I'm going to do this most difficult plan," Felistie said, holding up her fingers and curling her long red hair, "if there isn't a suitable opportunity, maybe we'll wait until that opportunity comesβwe have to hit it all at once, or it's all in vain." β
Avi had already guessed that Carrie had infiltrated Doret City in order to confirm Golia's location. She was working hard to increase the success rate of each plan, and she really wanted to avenge Miss Delia.
Felistie continued: "If there are no accidents, Carrie and I will be escorting this most difficult plan, and of course if necessary, one of us will be the one to carry out the assassination mission. Let me tell you clearly, in fact, when Carrie left here, she had already asked me to tell you and Fan, I hope you don't choose this mission, after all, this plan has a very high chance of losing your life. β
"Lose your life," Avi repeated.
"Yes, in fact, it is okay for an ordinary militia to do the final blow, but that person must have the determination to die and the greatest hatred for Golia. β
Hearing this, Avi had clearly understood his choice, "I chose to join the special forces of the East Oguna Empire, so let me be with those people." β
Felisty looked into Avi's eyes, and after she finished saying the word "hate", Avi's eyes changed significantly. She knew that the other party was not because he was afraid of death, but because he didn't hate enough. "No problem, anyway, you remember, our goal is to kill Delia, we have listed so many plans just to help Miss Delia avenge, even if it wasn't for the people of the Two-Color Blade Mercenary Group to take Golia's head, we would be able to let Miss Delia rest in peace. β
"My second life was given to me by Miss Delia, and without her, I would have died by now," Avi smiled bitterly, and then reached out and took the secret letter from the red-haired girl's left hand, "I have the determination to die, and I have the heart to repay Miss Delia's kindness." β
