Chapter 54: The Role of the Hedron Card
"You're throwing this to me?" Catherine took out the card that had saved her life, and flicked it lightly, the card vibrated and made a crisp sound: "This is the identity of the goblins?"
"It's exquisite. Pannis casually took out one of them, stroked the uneven surface of the spar card, and said, "I once heard a certain goblin remember that in the glory days of the goblin empire, there was an identity made of this spar card. In fact, there is a corresponding device, and the card can be inserted into it to read out the holder's detailed information. However, more than 10,000 years have passed, and the corresponding device has long been destroyed because the internal structure is not made of a special alloy of goblins, and no reading device that can be used has been excavated so far, but some people have unearthed more than a dozen of these cards, but everyone has never thought of this kind of judgment function. ”
"But I'm not the owner of this card. Catherine asked curiously, "Why was it saved?"
The puppet didn't know. Pannis replied, "I've tried before, and the judgment of these cleaning and attack systems is very simple, as long as you have a hedron card, you can be protected from attack. ”
"Tested?" Catherine asked, not quite understandingly, "How? Didn't you encounter a giant golem?"
"Hehe, hehe, who said you didn't meet ......" Murgan laughed twice and continued: "The night before yesterday, apart from a bunch of spar cards, only a few small metal objects were found. Due to time constraints, there was no time for a larger search. Early yesterday morning, everyone set off again, passed through the last teleportation circle, and appeared in your area. As soon as he teleported, he was almost killed. ”
"Well, what's going on?" asked Catherine, "Is the enemy in ambush?"
"Sort of. Moore smiled bitterly and said, "But not an enemy." Remember what I mentioned before, the hint said that the legion-level war colossus would be activated if you didn't show the hedron card? Yesterday I finally knew why it didn't appear, and the colossus was stuck in this half by the teleportation array, no wonder it couldn't get by. I took the lead in teleporting today, but as soon as I finished teleporting, I could see clearly in front of me. I saw a fist smashed in front of me. If it weren't for the two-second invincibility rule that comes with teleporting, that punch might have really hurt. ”
"For the previous part, Pannis and I took turns exploring the path, because we could control the teleportation circle. The old habit was to come over. If there is no situation, just teleport something back, and if you need support, teleport this little red ball back. As a result, I didn't dare to get close to the teleportation array to find support at that time, for fear that the puppet's attack would destroy the circle. But there was nothing he could do with the puppet, so he could only lure the puppet a long distance before running back to call for backup. ”
"As a result, although everyone was passed over one by one, everyone could not do anything about this terrifying puppet with high defense, although it couldn't hurt us, but we couldn't do substantial damage to it, so we could only drag it out like this for a long time, until Pannis finally teleported himself. ”
"It took him a while to come, and by chance, he found that the puppet's attack would deliberately avoid him. After that, I tried many more times. Several times, because he was suddenly in the middle, the golem even abandoned the target he was attacking and turned to attack the others. After clarifying this discovery, Pannis finally determined that the person holding the card, even if he carries the card with him, can affect the puppet's judgment and let the puppet take the initiative to avoid it. ”
"So you're going back to collecting cards?" asked Catherine.
"Well, no. Moore covered his face and said with a hard time: "Pannis pulled out a large stack of cards. There were seventy or eighty of them, and it was estimated that all the intact cards that could be collected were taken away, and then one was divided among everyone. ”
"Huh?" Catherine couldn't understand Pannis's inexplicable behavior, and asked with her mouth wide open, "Pannis, what are you doing with so many cards? ”
"It's because I can sell it for money. Although this kind of thing is rare, because it is basically useless, it can only be used by a few scholars for reference and research, so the price is very cheap, forty or fifty gold coins a piece. Moore's expression was helpless: "He said that the pile of cards could be sold for thousands of gold coins, and he was going to give it to a friend as a gift." That friend must like it. How could anyone like such an inexplicable gift? ”
"Well done, Pannis. Before Moore finished speaking, he found that Catherine had already given a thumbs up to Pannis with a look of surprise, and said with excited eyes: "You have thoroughly comprehended the spirit of our adventure group, and now you can be regarded as a fully qualified member of the group, I am proud of you." ”
"Look, I'll just say she'll like it. Pannis stretched out his hand to Moore, and handed Catherine a thick stack of spar cards in her pocket, and carefully put them away as if she had found a treasure: "This is the friend I am talking about." ”
"Forget it, I can't understand you human quirks. Moore was very devastated and said, "But fortunately, you have extra cards, otherwise you really wouldn't have been able to save them in time." ”
Pannis grinned, met Lina's skeptical gaze and smiled mysteriously, saying nothing.
"Later, when one of us took a card, the metal golem stopped attacking us, but it didn't stop. Moore continued: "It just ignored us and turned around and left. We thought it was strange and followed the puppet all the way to see what we found. As a result, he walked in the sewers for a day and a night, followed until noon today, and then ran into a large number of undead head-on. Nearly 100,000 goblin skeletons, tens of thousands of ghosts, and even a few goblin lynx knights formed by the death knights. The giant puppet stepped directly past the undead without any interference, and as a result, we were left surrounded by the undead. ”
"Wait. Catherine asked sensitively, "You said it was noon today?"
"Yes, it's noon today. Moore nodded, surprised by Catherine's reaction: "Is there something wrong?"
"Vivien, do you remember? I was ...... Hey, come back to your senses. Catherine slapped Vivien's soft hat with a smile and woke her out of her trance: "I heard strange sounds and some faint fighting sounds at a fork in the road, and it was noon. ”
"Well, it's probably noon. Vivien nodded, "You said you didn't hear the fighting, but it's quite vivid to describe the sound that the war puppet made when it moved." ”
"That's right, I guess it was far away at the time, and the sound of the fight didn't come. Catherine said, "It seems that we should be able to guess what happened next, after you broke through the siege of the undead, you followed in the direction of the puppet, and just arrived to save us." ”
"Yes. Moore admitted: "Fortunately, Miss Lina, when she was entangled with the undead, I don't know why she suddenly became very agitated, and almost forced everyone to break through the siege of the undead and rush to this side regardless of consumption." You know, in the past two days, her personality has been a little ...... Well, it's peculiar, but it didn't make anyone embarrassed, and this time it suddenly became like this, and everyone knew that there must be some unexpected induction. After all, it was a clergyman, and it was not surprising that she had some special premonitions, so everyone followed her meaning and caught up as quickly as possible. ”
Catherine's gaze became gentle, sweeping over Lina's face. I just saw Lina's smug face, her hands on her hips, her head tilted and laughed: "Thank me, servants, hahahaha, kneel in front of me and lick my feet, kneel down to Lord Lina's gift...... Wow, it hurts. ”
Catherine withdrew her hand from throwing a piece of dry bread and glared at Lina with the majesty of an elder, "Give me a good talk." ”
"Woo, yes, big sister. Lina immediately stopped being proud, covered her head from being smashed by hard bread, and shrank aside with tears in her eyes, in exchange for Vivien's timely remark that she deserved it.
"It seems that it is a coincidence. Catherine touched her chin and thought, and suddenly realized who she learned this action from, and quickly put down her hand, coughed dryly, and said: "I didn't expect you to track down that group of murderers, and the ultimate goal is also this underground world." ”
"It's not necessarily the end goal, maybe it's just a stage halfway through. Pannis shook his head and said, "However, you said the same word, that is, the evil gods over there are sacrificed, and the murderer is also here?"
"Obviously, yes. Catherine nodded and said thoughtfully, "The specific process will be explained in detail later, but it is almost certain that our goal is in this space." ”
Several people on the other side looked at each other for a while, and then Teresa said: "It seems that Mr. Pannis's guess is not wrong, not only are the two magic circles of the same origin, but there is also a certain connection between the two sides, and this connection is quite close, otherwise they would not share such a hidden magic circle and hiding place." ”
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to see the two sides as one?" said Moore in thought.
"It's too early to draw that conclusion. Pannis denied: "There is not enough evidence to prove this. But anyway, we are also tracking all the way along the circle now, and the space we are in now seems to be far larger than the sewers we have been to before, and the target is too small to find, so it is better to help Catherine and them find their target first. It is already very suspicious that those people sacrificed by the evil gods are hiding in this complex area, and we may be able to track down our target through them. ”
There is no disputing that. Everyone can understand some of the selfishness in Pennis's proposal, but it is true that as he said, this area is so large anyway, it is too difficult to find a teleportation array that may or may not exist, so it is better to try your luck with a target that has already been determined: "But, Catherine, can you accurately track the target?"
"Absolutely. Catherine secretly held the pendant on her chest and said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
