Chapter 36: "Life and Death Charms"

A sudden and seemingly inevitable (sooner or later inevitable) meeting ended, and the time came to noon the next day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Castle of Ichlon, the study of the Duke.

There is no doubt that this is a delicate room, but it is not luxurious, or rather, all the opulence is actually confined to every seemingly simple ornament, table, chair and hanging ornament.

Low-key luxury, as it is.

The three of the Grand Duke, father and son, sat on both sides of the desk, and the two brothers confirmed and supplemented each other word by word, and recounted the events of last night in detail.

In the process, the Grand Duke's face is like a palette in the hand of a painter in a painting, changing frequently, and there is almost no pause, which is wonderful. At the end, he frowned heavily, sighed, and said in an unusually complicated tone: "Perhaps, we have really met a master who can drag us out of the predicament. ”

"Of course, his strength is no longer what we can imagine!" Frank replied loudly, he always had an inexplicable confidence in Ye Guyun, the exotic master he brought with himself, "This is not that I am boasting for him, the same evaluation, that unpredictable Roddick, has given it." ”

At this point, he couldn't help but think of the last series of events that had happened in the last night, and until now, he was still immersed in a bizarre delusion that came with it, like reading a fascinating knightly novel, and then not being able to find his own string for a long time.

In short, Frank just couldn't believe that someone could be so bold and reckless.

-- Divide -- cut -- line --

"Deal with this bead as well! I think my attitude is clear. Roddick tossed the bead holding the hapless ghost mage to Roach, and he looked at the three of them with a big smile, "Please inform the Duke of the details of this for me, I think he will be happy to hear this." ”

"Yes. Ye Guyun stood up and tidied up his clothes, as if he meant to say goodbye.

"Finally, a gift. ”

The words were said by Ye Guyun, and after finishing speaking, I saw that he suddenly flipped his wrist, as if he was pinching the law seal, the speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he didn't know how many complex and difficult to remember movements he had done, anyway, three small tangible transparent energy, with the successive stabbing of his finger sword, shot towards Roddick silently but extremely quickly.

Roddick is a capable man, and the power in the shadows, secretive, agile, and ruthless, is not enough to sum up the characteristics of this power, and his reaction is extremely fast, and this level of consternation does not make him incapacitated.

At first glance, the three qi qi seemed to be like three shuttle darts, although the momentum was fast, there were always traces to follow, it was not easy to dodge, but it was not difficult, and Roddick was confident that he could deal with it.

He moved. With his hands and feet, he made several very awkward movements one after another, and it was hard to believe that humans could make such a strange dodge posture unless they saw it with their own eyes.

However, these actions did not work at all.

Approaching the failure, the three qi forces seemed to be quietly plucked by an invisible hand, and suddenly turned around, and the situation, like a clock dial at six o'clock, was unprovoked to the position of six o'clock in an instant, abrupt and unpredictable. Qi Jin continued to shoot at Roddick at a very different angle.

Comparatively speaking, the energy after turning is much rougher, and they don't care about the point, they only want to hit the body, and because of this, almost instantly (too close), they climb onto the surface of the target's body, and with a bang, they sink into it.

"No!"

The more unusual the change, the more frightened Roddick became, and he cried out, tensing his muscles, and slumping into the couch.

It's just that it wasn't until his subordinates who were waiting around each grabbed their weapons and surrounded Ye Guyun and the three of them, and let out a series of curses, and after a while, nothing happened.

This, this in the end...... What's the situation?

Scold!

Ye Guyun chuckled, ignoring the complicated various gazes from all directions, and said to himself: "No pain, no itching, no marks, a little cool, carefully experienced, and even a refreshing and comfortable feeling." ”

Hearing this, Roddick immediately stood up, carefully examined his body, confirmed that it was correct, and was shocked that the other party had described his "symptoms" after being hit so accurately - some of the subtleties were even reminded of his own experience, and even if a series of feelings were not negative, he did not think it would be a good thing.

"What is this?"

"Life and death charms. ”

"What?"

Ye Guyun smiled incomprehensibly, and explained lightly: "You can understand it as a curse, but it is not magical, so I don't think the mages of this world can find a way to resolve it." ”

"What are the consequences?"

"Itchy, that's all. ”

"Oh, that's all? I think the day I'm going to hell when I have a seizure. Roddick's eyes were as wide as hungry wolves, and he spoke viciously to the evil alien.

"Yes, you're quite conscious. Ye Guyun admitted indifferently, "Itching, from shallow to deep, gradually increases, at first only in the skin, then penetrates into the muscles, then touches the viscera, and finally reaches the bone marrow." The person who is recruited, on the day of the attack, is itchy and unbearable, can not survive, can not die, is called 'life and death charm'. ”

"Vicious tricks!' this hellish torture!" Roddick gasped hard, "Huh! What is the incubation period?"

"Ninety, oh, do you know that ten days is ten days, ninety days, that is, after ninety days, if you don't take the pill I have prepared, well, it's just a unique herbal pill, and you will have a seizure on time. ”

"I'm afraid this pill only has a temporary suppressive effect. ”

"Yes. ”

"Is there a solution?" asked Roddick, but he answered the question himself at once, "there must be, but it won't be given to me, your plan is to keep me firmly in your hands." ”

"Yes. ”

"Do you think I'll believe it?"

"Whatever. After a pause, he seemed to think about it seriously, and Ye Guyun said again, "Whatever." ”

Roddick laughed, and laughed cruelly: "Your behavior has completely angered me, and no superior can tolerate such an offense that is tantamount to trampling on face! What if I swear to defend my dignity to the death, ignore your demagoguery, and insist on keeping you all here at any cost?"

Scold~!

With a clang, an equally colorless and tangible energy brushed Roddick's shoulder, swept by, and very precisely, cut a gap in the clothes on his shoulder, but did not hurt even the slightest bit of flesh, but the sharp feeling made goosebumps unconsciously arise there.

Compared with the previous three paths, this time this energy is obviously sharper and sharper, there is a kind of pure clear energy, it comes and goes like the wind, straight and straight, like a sword in the hands of a kendo master, is stabbing at the head-on!

This is a sword qi!

Ye Guyun withdrew his right hand that stretched out two fingers, and said indifferently: "Rely on this." ”

Roddick pinched up a few pieces of rags that were still neatly hanging on his shoulders, looked at them, and then raised them casually, letting them scatter on the ground, and touched his intact shoulders again, feeling it slightly, and then he turned his head, looked at Ye Guyun, and was silent for a long time. Eventually, he sat down on the sofa and said, "Hu Liu's comment is really apt." You're a barbarian who only knows brute force and doesn't follow the rules!"

Hu Luo, who was sweating nervously, couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva when he heard this, but he immediately realized it, so he tried his best to suppress his throat, for fear of making a little noise, and he felt that his sweat was even more dripping.

"I've surrendered to you, why do you do this to me? Roddick asked.

"Because you're so good at acting. Ye Guyun replied seriously, "I hate actors." ”

"Ha, it turns out that I am to blame. Roddick's voice was bitter and helpless, "I'm so forgetful." ”

"One last question. Roddick cocked up a finger.

"I thought that a martial artist like you who had reached a very high level, the realm was transcendent, self-esteem, self-confidence, pride, and self-limitation, you wouldn't, at least disdain to play tricks on wanderers like us who walked in the shadows, that should be the realm of the 'mediocre' who drilled in power all day long. Roddick said.

"In my world, there are only designers and designers, regardless of martial arts and humanities, high and low realms. It was rare for Ye Guyun to show emotion and melancholy.

"So, I was wrong in the first place, completely wrong!" said Roddick, "empiricism kills." ”

......

In the early hours of that night, the three of them were walking on the way back.

The night is as cool as water - this characteristic is especially evident in the Crescent City, located in the Northland, in the late autumn and early winter.

Along the way, the three of them didn't talk, not because of the night cold that seemed to seep into their flesh and bones, but because they were digesting what they had gained today.

Especially the two brothers.

They have always prided themselves on being the best of their peers, but today they suddenly find that their brains don't seem to be enough.

Although the return journey is not short, it is necessary to return from the south of the city to the north of the city, but there is always an end of time, and in a short time, the castle is already in sight, crossing the drawbridge, passing through the city gate, the day's troubles are over.

Frank, who still couldn't figure out a few key points, was unwilling to fall asleep with questions - in fact, he didn't think he would be able to sleep until he thought through these questions, so he asked Ye Guyun questions.

"Ye, life and death talisman, does it really exist?"

Hearing this, Ye Guyun stopped, looked at Frank, and said with a smile: "I thought you should have asked this question a long time ago." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Is this question important? For Roddick, there is such a thing as a life and death charm, and if he does not believe it, he will not believe it, and then he will choose to believe it. ”

"...... so"

"Life and death charms, there are indeed ones. Ye Guyun's answer made Frank's eyes light up, but the former's next words immediately disillusioned all his imagination, "However, I won't." ”

"Huh?"

"I've only heard of it, but I don't. Even if I could, in my current state, I wouldn't be able to do it - the battle with the pink haired girl had exhausted me too much, and my internal strength had bottomed out, not enough to support me in some of the more advanced moves. After all, I should have been able to win relatively easily, but after all, I was too big and despised the masters of this world. Ye Guyun shook his head and whispered, as always, without much expression, but Frank felt that at this moment he had a vividness that he had never shown before, as if he was reminiscing for a long time - this is still unfinished?

Why is there such an "illusion"? Could it be that the sentences spoken are unprecedentedly long?

"Huh?!"

This time it was Roche who spoke, full of surprise. He sighed, if what Ye Guyun said was all the truth, then it was really hard to imagine how dangerous it would be at that time!

"This, this is a deception, although it is a very successful deception...... Ye, you are too bold, how dare you ......"

"I hate actors, and I hate people who deliberately show off their so-called acting skills in front of my eyes - but I think my acting skills are good. That being the case, I simply ......"
