Chapter 32: New Abilities
"So, is it life or death?"
Ed shook his head.
The demonic sword seems to have inspired a certain primal sense of fear in Ed.
However, his unfairness and resentment far outweigh his fears. He even gave him 1,000 gold coins, so what kind of treatment is this?
"I'll do it!" shouted Ed.
Edel thought about hitting Con'ou in the head, the damn Demon Sword, but that would only work for Conou.
By killing him, Congou will gain experience points and the nasty quest will be canceled. Plus, he's already got 1,000 gold in advance.
In the end, he didn't have much of a choice.
In addition, he has already befriended Conou, so there is no escape.
"Huh. ”
The anger subsided, and the shoulders drooped.
"Guess I should use carrots right now. ”
Because he has a long history as a gamer, Conou knows how to handle the NPC very well.
He is not only flattering and flattering, but also familiar with the correct use of "carrots and sticks" when dealing with the NPC.
"Not everything is bad. If you continue to do what I can to help me, then I will introduce you to the people," Conou said.
"This will work 100 per cent. ”
Cono is absolutely sure
The other day, they meet the Beastmen, and Con'ou realizes that Ed is soft on women.
"What do you mean by 'introduce me to someone'?"
"I'll introduce you to a girl. ”
"A girl?"
"Yes. My sister is really beautiful. They call her the reincarnation of the beautiful goddess Elena. ”
He used exactly the same line as he used to persuade Buchan.
"Really?" asked Ed.
"Yes, really. ”
Of course he was lying. Not only is his sister not the reincarnation of Elena, but she doesn't even have a game character.
"I will do my best. ”
Ed's attitude is 180.
"What a simple fellow. ”
Conou laughed.
Unsurprisingly, old bachelors are vulnerable to women!
This is especially effective for a real old bachelor like Eder.
"Read this book and find clues about the whereabouts of the demon sword, brother-in-law. ”
Conou points to the Chronicle of Loscia and makes sure to call him his brother-in-law.
The elder means iron rule.
It was as if he were his sister's husband.
"I'll do my best. Ed replied, standing like a recruit.
"Good. ”
Conou left the Altan Central Library.
He threw 1,500 pages of reading material to Eder, but faltered.
Kang'ou found the NPC to impart support skills.
"You have to really understand the mount to really ......," said an old soldier in armor.
"Explanation is enough. Please teach me the tricks. ”
Cono learned to ride, which is the equivalent of Alth's driver's license, and also learned a number of other auxiliary skills.
First Aid!Emergency Repairs!Create Maps!Remove Traps!Search Paths!Create Illustrated Monster Books!
"These are the most useful skills for killing monsters and exploring hidden dungeons. ”
He did not learn other users to learn to collect pocket money for lighting, collect herbs, fishing, etc.
He also has no plans to study them in the future.
After all, he only cleared two hidden dungeons and benefited greatly from it.
"When other people come together, I shine!"
A get-rich-quick scheme can ruin your own family!
However, this does not apply to Conou, who has super intuition.
"When everyone else was wasting time searching, I went straight to the source. Conou muttered.
"Well, what do you say?"
"Nothing. More importantly, I want to learn some skills. ”
Conou is in the Swordsman's Guild. The martial arts instructor looked at him.
"You look skilled. Why not try to learn combat skills?", said the martial arts instructor.
"What skill?"
"Cross slashes, continuous slashes, powerful blows, destruction of the heart, etc. You should be able to learn most techniques. ”
"Good," Conou said. I want to learn basic escaping and fast feet. ”
The martial arts teacher brought a skill book from the shelf.
Basic avoidance!
Hurry up!
"It's 2 gold, isn't it? ”
Conou paid for the skill book and used it on the spot.
[You have learned the passive skill "Basic Avoidance (Beginner).]
[You've learned the passive skill Quickstep (beginner.)] ]
These skills, combined with Wu Kang's ultra-intuition, will maximize his evasion.
"I'm going to attack without getting hit. ”
That's the style he's after. One-sided knockout. Unilateral advantage. How good does that sound?
Kang Ou grinned, and the martial arts instructor asked, "You really don't learn any combat skills?"
"I'm fine. ”
His "super instincts" point out his weaknesses, the SS-level Demon Sword, as well as Gluttony, which will explosively boost his abilities, so he has enough attack power.
Learning more combat skills will be a waste of time. It is best to continue using slashes to improve his proficiency.
"Anyway, I wonder if Ed has found a clue......"
After completing his business here, Con'ou headed to the Altan Central Library.
Step back in time...
Eder, immersed in the Chronicles of Lotia, secretly looked to the left and right.
"He's gone," Ed muttered.
As he said, Conou must have left the Artein Central Library.
Then, he straightened his waist and pushed the Roxat Chronicles out of the way.
"Does he think I'm an idiot?"
Conou's "carrots" did not work in the slightest.
In fact, it's even stranger to work with.
However, there is a reason for his actions.
He needs to get rid of the clutches of the Demon King, because he threatens him with the magic sword.
"You will see with your own eyes the displeasure of the ghosts. ”
Not only did he not read the Chronicle of Lotia, but he did not even read it.
Instead, he passes the time by reading some medical books that he wants to read.
Of course, he has turned it to a specific page so that it looks like he has read part of it.
Time passed, and Con Ou finally returned.
"Hey, brother!"
"Like hell, I will never be your brother. ”
However, Ed's actions were completely contradictory to what he felt inside.
"Welcome back. ”
Eder was happy to see him.
Con looked at him blankly and asked, "Did you find any clues?"
"I haven't found it yet," Ed said. This book is too long, so I'm going to need more time to read it. ”
Of course, no matter how much time passed, he would never find any clues to the magic sword.
"Hmm. It's a very thick book. ”
Cono nodded.
"I need at least a week. ”
Edel plans to buy as much time as he can, and then continue to stall for time by requesting more.
"What can he even do if I can't find any clues!?"
"I see. ”
Eder's smile matched his smiling face.
However...
"I'll try to find clues in my own way. But if I find the clues first, then you are of no use to me. I don't need to travel boring without power, so I'll kill you at that time and there. ”
Cono wielded the demon sword and stroked it. An evil smile was engraved on his face.
"What are you talking about!?"
This is!
"Yes. I don't care what you do; ”
Conou's voice is firm and clear, and he will stick to it 100%.
"It's not fair!" yelled Ed.
"Life is unfair, dirty and cheap. Do as I say!"
Cono tapped Eder on the shoulder with his demonic sword.
"Unless you want to die. ”
That's the villain.
Back to the present...
Conou's point of view.
"Unless you want to die," Conou said.
Ed lowered his head, resisting Con'ou's words.
His plan to return to Conou failed miserably.
"Do you really think you can lie to me?"
Conou stared at Eder, who was staring at the cold.
He had learned about Eder's plan.
What do you think?
He's a psychic with super-intuition, and that's it!
It seems to have another ability besides identifying weaknesses, warning of dangers, and finding hidden objects/locations.
It's the ability to see through lies!
I'm sure. '
Conou recalls how he felt when he returned to the Altan Central Library and looked at Eder.
Ed welcomes him back.
But when he looked at Eder, he felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable, as if he had been stabbed by a thorn.
So much so that he wanted to kill Ed!
The reason for this unique feeling must be because of his ultra-intuition. However, it should not be activated now.
If so, it must be similar to how he felt when he discovered a hidden dungeon.
What is this telling him?
He felt that Eder had an unpleasant feeling.
Moreover, add to this the fact that he imposed the work on him, and the conclusion is simple.
'This idiot. He's up front!"
So, Conou secretly beat him out.
Once he confirmed that the book was indeed thick, Ed insisted that it would take a long time to read.
When Ed said that, that unpleasant feeling only intensified.
Therefore, Wu An determined that this was a new aspect of his super-intuition.
"It's the ability to see through lies!"
Although Eder tries to fool Conou, he only manages to prove how Conou's super-instincts evolve.
"If you tell me the truth, I will forgive you. Are you lying to me?" Conou said to Ed, who bowed.
"What are you talking about!?" Ed yelled in surprise.
"If you tell me the truth, I will forgive you. ”
Cono stared at Ed unwaveringly.
If Edel had a real body, then he could have avoided Conou's gaze. And he'll be amazed too.
"I don't really have ......"
"You said you wanted to find clues, but you're really buying time and trying to thwart me, aren't you? Yes or no?"
Conou interrupted him and interrogated him.
"It's clear what you're trying to do. ”
He knew exactly what Eder was going to do, as he had done a lot of nasty things to the warlord.
“...”
"This is your last chance. If you're tidy, I'll give you a break. 3!2!”
Just before he counts down to 1...
"I did. I did it!"
Ed admitted.
Conou has established this, so if Eder sticks to his story, he will now be on his way to heaven.
"You fool. ”
Conou calmly forgave him.
After all, he was the one who stabbed him in the back first, so he could only forgive him once.
Therefore, instead of torturing him, he decided to let him work.
"I'll let it go once. But in exchange, you have to read the whole thing and find the clues by tomorrow. ”
Conou pushes the Chronicle of Lothea to him.
"I can't read it for a day!" said Ed.
“...”
Conou, without saying a word, just stared at him coldly.
Ed was almost suffocated by the silence.
"F-fine. I'll do it!"
Ed began to read the "Chronicles of the Loxana". With all his strength!
"You should do it from the beginning. ”
As expected, Conou is indeed good at dealing with the National People's Congress.
Sticks, carrots, and sticks!
Ed can't escape Conou's grasp, just as Sun Wukong can't escape the grasp of Buddha.
Jae Woo is ready to go out.
He wears a white T-shirt with a peace symbol on it, as well as a pair of jeans and a baseball cap.
"Brother, where are you going?" asked Yula.
"I have something to do," Jae Woo said briefly.
"Ah, are you going to the bank?"
"Well, just some business. ”
As Yura expected, Jaewo heads to the bank.
Piggy Bank!
It is a bank that uses red leather balls as mascots. This means that their bank will become a piggy bank for the average person.
"Welcome. ”
"I'm here to pay off the debt. ”
It's an exhilarating feeling, like throwing a resignation letter in your boss's face.
