Chapter 565: Exploration and Badges
After seeing that it was Abner, Karen endured the "pain" and said intermittently:
"If you could...... Please make me some ice ...... I need to cool down ......"
Abner was stunned for a moment, then looked at the silver-white revolver with an extended barrel held in the opponent's right hand, and while thinking about it, the ability to simulate the "living corpse" created a circle of ice around Karen's body.
The revolver, called "The Ace of Hearts", is a seal in Karen's possession, and it is made with the extraordinary properties of the "Rite of Light", which can shoot bullets condensed from the "Divine Light".
Abner had heard Cullen talk about his item since the Witch of Pain incident in Beckland, but he didn't know what its negative effects were, and now it seems that it has at least the side effect of being "burned by the sun......
Tsk, such a negative effect is not a "special attack" for vampires?
Is there any commemorative significance for Karen to carry this kind of unfriendly thing to him all year round? Or does he have any special fetishes?
While Abner was secretly slandering herself, Miss Judy had relented, and she first thanked Abner solemnly, and then, as if sensing something, stared at him again, and said strangely:
"Abner, she's gone to look for you...... I thought she would bring mom and dad...... Well, at least inform the church ......"
Isn't that because you're all about me? Forehead...... It seems ambiguous to say that......
It must be that she only remembers me in her head...... Neither is it right......
Anyway, it doesn't seem right to explain it, especially since I'm not sure why the barrier would let my memories out......
Let Miss Judy ask the doppelganger herself.
A few thoughts crossed his mind in an instant, and Abner said lightly on the surface: "I happen to be in Byam, and I have noticed something special in this neighborhood through something before. ”
He was referring to plants that resembled a casual game from a previous life.
"Cullen was right, you killed the 'doctor'......" Judy thought for a moment, then suddenly said.
"Is that 'doctor' from the Mother Earth Church of God?" Abner asked, with a strange expression.
He didn't have much regret about killing the other party, judging from his behavior of throwing out the "cannibal flower" at the trade fair, attacking the people around him indiscriminately, and just trying to get out, he was a ruthless and unscrupulous guy, and if he died, he would die, and he was not wronged at all......
But he was friends with Judy and Karen, and he was favored by Mother Earth God, so it was not appropriate to kill an extraordinary person in the church without saying hello, even if he didn't know it at the time.
"Is it counted...... He is a multi-faceted spy, and although he has joined the Church's outlying organization in Rune, he also provides information to the Fenerport military and even has ties to Intis......"
Judy didn't think it was a big deal, and instead talked about her team's experience.
They received an order half a month ago to secretly come to Byam to investigate the possible remains of the "Ancient Alchemist".
It was the spy named "The Doctor" who reported this information to the church.
The "Doctor" discovered this valley by accident while hiding from a local gang.
At that time, the "barrier" of the valley had not yet been opened to the extent that it had just been, and he was only able to simply interfere with his vision, so he was able to sneak in, but he was still discovered by the guard plants on the periphery.
With the strength of the "doctor", he was naturally invincible, and he killed several plants with heavy injuries, and easily took away the seeds they turned into after death, and fled the valley.
By the time the three Judy arrived in Byam, the "doctor" had already been killed by Abner, but fortunately, the information reported by the other party was complete, so they could easily find the cliff with the cabin.
Because it was impossible to determine how many companies the "doctor" had sold the information to, Judy and Cullen discussed it and decided to enter the valley as soon as possible to investigate.
However, due to the haste of the action, and the fact that the "Medic" did not activate the real "barrier", they troughed the danger in the valley, and only Judy left a plant clone that her father had made for her at the cliff cabin as a backhand.
After the team entered the valley, it started well, and all kinds of dangers were within the range of what could be handled...... However, they accidentally touched a "trap".
The trap is a "cherry", but the power of its explosion is comparable to that of "Yang Yan"!
In response, Captain Arsenov had to use the "Holy Relic" to keep Judy and Callum from injury.
But the aura of the "demigod" triggered the highest "alert" in the valley, and at the same time that countless plant guards flocked to them, the "barrier" at the top was also turned on to the strongest state.
As a result, Judy had no choice but to activate the "back hand".
Speaking of which, the plants used by Judy's father to make the clone are extremely special, originally used to save his daughter's life, and if necessary, he can even make his daughter abandon her original body and make her "resurrected" in the clone.
But Judy didn't use this function at that time, and she didn't come to a desperate situation, and she didn't want to change her body at all; Second, if she "escaped", the captain who could not act because of the "holy relics" at that time, and Karen who was fighting alone, would be in danger, and she would not be able to abandon her companions and escape alone.
Therefore, she chose another mode of use of the "clone", which is to activate the sleeping spirit in the "clone" and copy her memories to her so that she can ask for help.
After that, the three of them defended themselves and stood by for reinforcements until Abner's arrival.
"I see...... after listening to Judy's story, Abner nodded, then looked around, and asked strangely, "What about Captain Arsenov?" ”
"Every time that 'holy relic' is used, the captain wears it and buries it deep in the earth for an hour...... Remember the big box that the captain always carried? It was both a box for the 'holy relics' and a 'coffin' for the captain when he was buried deep underground......" Judy pointed to the ground beneath her feet, adding, "The three of us took turns to rest, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to break the barrier at all......"
"If it weren't for the fact that those strange alchemy creations 'distorted' the conditions of life and death under the blessing of the 'barrier', and could continue to 'plant' new ones quickly after death, we wouldn't be so embarrassed." At this moment, Cullen, who had melted all the ice around her, stood up and answered.
At this moment, he regained his usual elegance, but he still seemed weak when he spoke.
"Thank you, Abner." Karen bowed and saluted as he approached, solemnly.
"We're friends, aren't we?" Abner smiled, then set his eyes on a cave at the other end of the valley.
It was apparently the owner's "abode", and the plants had attacked Karen and Judy one after another, also to keep them from getting close.
"When the captain wakes up, we'll explore there...... With him, at least safety is guaranteed. Karen noticed Abner's gaze and suggested in a deep voice.
If something happens again, they won't have the ability to go to the rescuers again......
Although the "Pure White Eye" does not detect the existence of traps or bans, Abner is still as good as he is, even if he encounters danger, he can call Mr. "Fool" to help him "find someone".
While waiting, Judy dug up the alchemical lifeforms that had turned into dirt, dug up their seeds, and collected them.
"It seems that the re-cultivation with this kind of seed has lost its essence as an 'alchemical life', and it is just a magical plant without wisdom." Abner thought about this, and said after comparing the plants used by the "doctor" with those in the valley.
"I know...... The key to alchemy life is actually the spirit created by the 'ancient alchemist' with the ultimate life refining...... However, they will dissipate with the death of the creator, and when they are replanted, even if they look the same on the outside, they are only weak nature spirits on the inside, and their strength will decrease a lot, and then they will not be as good as the next generation, until they return to ordinary plants. ”
Judy said this, with a bright smile on her face, and continued, "But even so, the whimsy contained in these new species is worth studying."
"I don't want anything else this time, just these seeds as trophies, okay?"
After speaking, she looked at Abner expectantly, after all, in her heart, the "hero detective" who had saved them had already tacitly taken the lion's share.
Abner naturally has no objection to this, anyway, even if he needs it in the future, he can borrow it from Judy, and with the other party's temperament, he will not refuse to give it.
As for Karen, in Russell's words, it doesn't matter if he's "always mourned."
After waiting for almost half an hour, Captain Arsenov ...... The "coffin" finally broke through the ground, he lifted the lid, looked around, and smiled at his teammates: "It seems that the matter is settled." ”
Then, after listening to Judy's debriefing, he nodded to Abner and said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Bryan...... A merciful Mother will protect you. ”
You're right, I don't know why, but Lilith has been sheltering me...... Abner thought to himself, and after a few polite words with Arsenov, he walked cautiously with the three of them towards the cave.
Stopping at the entrance of the cave, Cullen first separated a few bats and flew in to explore the way, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, the four of them tacitly arranged in a diamond-shaped formation and walked into this very spacious cave.
Among them, Cullen led the way, Judy and Abner walked a few steps behind him on either side, keeping an eye on the side, and Captain Arsenoff walked last as the "guardian", ready to take damage for those in front.
The cave was dark and gloomy, and some kind of "sunflower" that was originally used for lighting had now withered and lost its former usefulness.
Fortunately, all four of them have night vision, so they can't see the road clearly.
After a long "corridor", the cave branched out into three branches, and Cullen stopped, sensed for a moment, and then said:
"On the left it looks like a living room and bedroom, on the right is a study and a laboratory, and in the middle it leads to an altar."
"Go to the altar first, I can be sure that it is the core of the outer 'barrier', and it is better to deal with it once and for all, otherwise something may happen again......" Abner said without hesitation.
The other three thought about it, and all agreed with his suggestion, and the four of them walked together into the middle passage, and soon came to a broken altar.
There were many candles erected on both sides of the altar, and the strange thing was that they were still burning!
In the center of the altar, a black iron badge is placed.
The badge was carved with a scepter and a hand holding it!
Candle left 41, right 40......
This is a coat of arms of the Tudor family?!
One that combines with the extraordinary properties of the "Lawyer" pathway sequence 4 "The Fallen Count" to form the Tudor family coat of arms of the seal!
After Abner counted the number of candles, he stepped forward solemnly and opened the "Pure White Eye" to carefully analyze it.
Seeing this, Judy, Karen, and Arsenov were not dissatisfied, the other party, as the benefactor who saved them, used a valuable high-level charm, and now it is natural to choose a piece of loot as compensation and reward.
"Sure enough, it's a Tudor badge that incorporates the 'Fallen Earl'......
"Well, as a family that once owned the 'Prince of Killing', it's not surprising that there is a high-level seal with a 'lawyer' path......
"However, why is there a remnant of the hatred of the high-level evil spirits of the 'Hunter' path?
"The owner of this valley should have been active thirty or forty years ago...... And it took about the same amount of time for the Pound family to dig up the underground ruins of the three-in-one evil spirit in Beckland......
"Surely this badge came from that ruin?
"What is the identity of this traverser senior?
"Could it be that he is from the Pound family?
"No, the people of the Pound family would not take the path of 'cultivators'......
"Or maybe he got it from someone from some Pound family?"
