Chapter 41: Who Lied to Whom
If Li Yun was in the past, when he encountered the Night Town incident, the most likely thing to do was to raise the butcher's knife while arrogantly speaking ruthlessly, and kill all the people who couldn't see it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is the saying 'heaven and earth have a ruler, I am the scale!'
He is a thousand-year-old demon, and he will eventually meet a 10,000-year-old demon, a 100,000-year-old demon, or even older, but luck is not there, when he is trampled to death by 'bullying', what can he leave behind?
Li Yun hadn't thought about such a problem before, even if he fought to the death with powerful opponents like Tigallus and Pakanfen, he was just thinking that I insisted on doing what I thought was right, and nothing else mattered. Pure, but non-human. This non-human has a faint sense of superiority of the 'comer', as if it were a return to the basics, as if it were the insight of a thousand sails, but as Philet Corvinus, who gave him the blood of light and divinity, said: "Is there an absolute truth in this matter? You have to pay attention to the angle of truth. ”
This perspective lies not only in different lives, different cognitions, but also in different periods of time and even different states of the same life.
Li Yun's current angle does not have so much radiant arrogance, nor does he have a happy indifference, and he is unscrupulous and crushing when God says he is cheating. To him, these qualities add up to 'madness,' and there is a saying about madness: If you want it to perish, you must make it mad.
Now he hates madness, hysteria, and the habit of dying regardless of addiction. He was as calculating as a little man, and he did what he thought was right as much as he could, like an ordinary person. He doesn't love to show money, but he can be generous and is willing to enjoy the pleasure of giving. He kept his promises, and what he promised, whether it was a woman's or a woman's, hurried to do it, instead of satisfying himself first and then saying anything else.
He could be a lord on the other side of the Great Abyss, and while he was pointing fingers and enjoying the pleasure of building the city of the chief engineer of the dungeon, he could observe the situation and see what opportunities were available on Cerves's side or elsewhere to make a profit, or exchange it for a small price for a higher result.
But in the end, he still chose to work hard, he left the guards to the Cosivana envoys, and let the Moon Shadow Warband guard Elon Avenue and Horn River City, and let the Flying Shadow keep an eye on Servis, the remnants of the Black Blade of the Sunshine Forest, Even the Spider Forest, but he risked losing contact with himself and took two apprentices deep into the southern mountains of East Kamaran, because he received a gift from the Shadow Werewolf, and he thought that while he got it, he also took over the responsibility, and the problem of the fallen werewolf was a problem he needed to deal with, not to mention that behind the scenes of all this, it was very likely to be related to the commission of the goddess.
In the past, he was always instructing others, you, what should you do. Now he's asking himself more often what do I do.
He is working hard, not for fame, not even deliberately seeking strength, he is more willing to pay than in the past, and the lack of original blood has not been completely made up until now.
He was nowhere near as powerful as before, without the waters of eternity, the seeds of the Sacred Tree Garden, the undead texts of Inglama, the precious knowledge of the ancient Sindal Elves, and the essence of the knowledge of the eight dark mages of the Legion of Destruction;
Like now, he didn't intend to drive the people of Nightlight to their deaths, not in the first place.
The spar that he used as a lighting stone before contained the energy of the energy pool, energy is very important, but more important is the law, this spar is now also an energy converter, compared with the original energy pool, it is naturally a drop in the bucket, it can be used well, and it is enough to support everything that exists in Night Town.
Under his guidance, the hedron melted the statue of the Magic Fountain like coals of fire stuffed into butter, submerging into its core, and then the melted part repaired itself. When the Light energy no longer spreads, new features appear in the energy pool.
The silver light is far less magnificent than the dreamy of the past, but it has an indescribable harmony and nature, the bubbling spring water flows, the water is clear, covered with a layer of clear blue light, and there are firefly-like stars occasionally rising from the water, some like moon wells.
The street lamps came on again, incandescent and slightly blue, in this bright light, the whole town was a little more beautiful and vivid, a little less dark and mysterious, and the fresh air poured in with the fresh fragrance of grass and trees and the smell of earth, expelling the smell of rot in the past. The town of Night is no longer worthy of its name, and when the dawn of a new day arrives, it will be bathed in sunlight and further fade away from the haze.
The town of the woods, this is its new name, which is the name that the people here later took after accepting the new facts.
For now, the inhabitants of the area are still struggling with what they have lost. The noise and abuse were endless, but in fact, when Li Yun showed the majestic power of the energy pool in public, even they didn't know how much they had to get in order to be satisfied. Even if Li Yun returned the entire energy pool to them now, and it was completely open, allowing them to squander it, they would suspect that Li Yun had done something and took what was originally theirs.
I can't ask for it, I have lost it. The things that these two emotions refer to always become extraordinarily beautiful, and now people's emotions are now in the latter and can't extricate themselves, they don't pay attention to what the new changes have brought them, but their minds are full of what they can do if the energy pool of the past is there, they hate Li Yun, but none of them are willing to come forward to challenge Li Yun, those who are courageous, In other words, those who are fearless because of fanaticism have already been wounded by the Holy Light, they have lost the source of fanaticism, they have lost those distorted memories that they think are good, and without memories, they cannot constantly stimulate strong emotions to make themselves fanatical.
But this method of cutting out evil is not effective for all beings. Speakers, for example, are a special case.
He struggled to crawl out of the bottom pool of the magic fountain, and cried out in grief and grief: "Look what you have done!? You have ruined everything! Night Town is over, Kamaran is over, and this world is over. ”
He's a man of status, he's Marlowe Baldwin, the consul of this town. His prestige is especially there, and his performance always touches people's hearts, and the townspeople will subconsciously pay attention to it. Now, his wails put an end to the quarrel, and everyone looked at him and wondered how true this guy was.
Li Yun put away his staff, put the necromancy wand into the horizontal leather pouch of the belt on his waist, and the rune cloak also put it into the black scarf, and took out the shoulder armor and helmet, as well as the rune cross sword, and turned into a knight in a few minutes.
Beckett and Maite didn't dare to slack off, relying on the war paint, the two of them also had space available, not their own abilities, but a blood pool similar to that used by the Blood Warriors of the Moon Shadow Warband, which was opened up by Li Yun, and then set aside a certain space for them to use.
Usually, the two of them only wear inner armor, breastplate, shin armor and arm armor of the forearm, and if necessary, there are more, skirt armor, hand armor, boot covers, helmets, ...... When fully armed, the protection is tight, and the armor is exquisite, comparable to that of a member of the Knights of the Kingdom.
When the two helped each other, Li Yun had already communicated with Marlowe again: "I just felt it." There's an energy dedicated to that place. He said, gesturing to the four-story mansion south of town, "That's where the entrance to your Mystery Garden is located, isn't it?"
Marlowe pointed at Li Yun and scolded: "What do you know? The Lost Dream Garden is a special passage, a magical vein that existed in this world at the beginning of its formation, and this passage was attracted by the Lost Dream Realm, and became a passage between there and reality, so it is called the Lost Dream Garden." Before, I had been relying on the energy of the Demon Spring to block the passage, but now that the passage is open, the nightmare of the Lost Dream Realm will be a disaster to the world, you are guilty, quickly return the Demon Spring to me. ”
"It turns out that because of my greed, I have made such a big mistake, and the world of Salano is likely to be destroyed because of my fault!" Li Yun's tone changed from heaviness and shock to joy: "It's really a little exciting to think about. As a bad guy, I was so clever enough to reach the pinnacle of success. It's hard to think of being famous now. It's amazing that everyone who dies in this devastating catastrophe will remember my name and hate me so much!"
"......" faced with this kind of character who doesn't care about his reputation and can laugh and defile himself, Marlowe has a headache, but he has his own strategy, and the previous defeat did not make him lose his fighting spirit, he laughed and said: "I have long seen who you are!" He said to the people in the square: "Citizens, now you recognize the true face of this man, and now you are willing to believe that he is a villain, right? So, express your emotions and vent your hatred, as long as you are willing to support me. Stand with me, and I will fight this villain to the death to reclaim our treasure. ”
At the same time, Beckett whispered to Li Yun: "Teacher, don't you erase this guy? He obviously wants to play some evil tricks." ”
Li Yun replied: "It is indeed an evil trick, we need him to show it, so that we can get more clues." Saying that, he gave each of them a small tube of life energy, "Today's loss is serious, and there may be a fierce battle next, so let's make up for it." ”
Both of them knew that, including Li Yun himself, he could not use it without life energy, this thing would disrupt the normal recovery function of the body, hinder cultivation, and frequent use would form an addiction.
When people heard that Marlowe was just asking for their support, rather than going to the end in person, they suddenly felt that the deal was a good deal, and some people muttered, "You should have come out of this ...... this matter"
"Defeat the evil and return my treasure. Marlowe shouted slogans.
The people followed, "Defeat the evil and return my treasure." ”
"Lend me your grievances. ”
"Lend it to you!" ......
Marlowe raised his head with his arms open, as if bathing in some kind of power that made him extremely comfortable, and his face was hearty and contented.
Those who are sincere supporters soon find that something is being pulled from their bodies, and after only a few seconds, this sense of detachment begins to trigger a serious reaction, trance, chills, and numbness.
"No, no, Marlowe, the bastard, is robbing us of our power. Someone couldn't help but wail.
Everyone else was woken up and resisted, and then the mysterious passage was interrupted. But in a short time, the people were already paralyzed into a heap, and they couldn't even stand up.
"Hahaha! hatred, resentment, fear, anger, jealousy...... These tastes are wonderful, wonderful!" Marlowe laughed wildly, his body constantly changing.
Li Yun didn't pay attention to this guy at all, but turned his head sideways to explain to Matt and Beckett. He said, "You two are going to identify who will be held hostage by us and left here. Anyone whose strain is not serious is the person we are looking for. ”
Beckett asked, "What about those who didn't make it to the square?"
"Just because I didn't come here doesn't mean I didn't know, I've used the energy pool to wake everyone in the town up, even if they're at home, they know what's going on. Because they are not in public, these people are more likely to reveal their true nature. ”
Then, he admonished, "When you two mark one by one, be careful, those fanatics who are hiding in the room, because they have not been cleansed by sufficient Holy Light, are still capable of fighting, and they are likely to deceive you with false performances and then surprise the killers. Therefore, those who have purple complexions, or purple spots on their skin, whether they are elderly, women, or children, are dangerous, and mark them out in particular, and in the process do not rule out the option of killing them on the spot, depending on the situation, you make up your own mind. ”
Both nodded.
Over there, Marlowe, who had no one to take care of him, and Marlowe, who had been neglected and neglected, was quite bored, and he yelled at Li Yun: "Hey, scum, don't you plan your ridiculous plan, haven't you found out that you are about to be crushed into slag by the mighty Uncle Marlowe?"
Li Yun happened to talk about precautions at this time, and it wasn't until he was finished and let Matt and Beckett start to act, that he could turn his attention back to Marlowe.
Bison hooves, lizard tails, green dragon claws, ram horns, crocodile eyes, every inhuman feature is the embodiment of strength, bull hooves, brute force, strong, tenacious, earth identity (down-to-earth will have additional power blessings), lizard tail, crocodile eyes, these are all dragon characteristics, indicating that there is a dragon heritage in its bloodline, ram horns, known as demonic horns, Marlowe's horns are thick and perfect, not only curved and coiled, the horns themselves are spiral-shaped, and the edges and corners are hideous, layered clearly, which means that its magic is surging, Able to cast powerful spells or quasi-spells.
On the contrary, the green dragon claw is the most inferior, it is the blessing of external forces, not the manifestation of its own strength.
Seeing Matt and Beckett heading towards the outskirts of the square, Marlowe immediately swung his magic sword and the short magic sword that originally belonged to Sheen, this time shooting out a purple-red blade light, and it was very powerful, and it appeared in front of Beckett and Matt in an instant.
Both Beckett and Maite use the knight's cross sword and the concave shield, which is slender and long, wide at the back and narrow at the front, and the front end is like a pair of giant spider's claws, which are fixed along the forearm, which is used as a defense, and a glowing rune lights up on the shield surface, which immediately absorbs the energy of Marlowe's blade, forming two dazzling rays of light at the tip of the claw, like a flickering fang.
"Huh?" Marlowe exclaimed. The power he had just unleashed, a mixture of distortion and destruction, was the kind of ruthless attack that was both powerful and soul-hurting, and it was easily defused by a rune concave shield.
Before he could attack again,
Li Yun had already slashed over with his sword, he didn't care much at first, and when the energy shield disintegrated, he was startled, and hurriedly parried with the short sword.
There was no time to heartache, Li Yun's second sword had already been cut down, this time there was no energy shield, and the slash speed was extremely high, and Marlowe retreated while using the magic sword to resist.
When! sparks splashed, and there was a gap in his magic sword.
Li Yun split again, Marlowe continued to retreat and block, his heart was annoyed and frightened, just because he was just right to shoot at Beckett and Matt, and Li Yun grabbed the lead, with three swords in a row, one sword rushed over the other, forcing him to parry.
When!when!when...... Marlowe pushed violently, Li Yun blindly attacked, and did not pay attention to any moves, that is, slashed and smashed, but it was this brutal style of play that made Marlowe retreat again and again, the floor tiles in the square were shattered by the pieces he stepped on, he wanted to stop his body, but he couldn't do it, the power from the sword was very huge, he was already holding the sword in both hands, but he still couldn't help but retreat.
Qiang ...... The magic sword was seriously damaged, and let out a mournful roar, and the sword body was also cracked, and the light overflowed from it, and it was not dispersed, but was sucked away by the broadsword in Li Yun's hand.
Li Yun accepted it fiercely and stepped back. Marlowe still instinctively parried twice, only to realize that Li Yun had stopped attacking. Looking at the magic sword in his hand again, not only the sword body is cracked, the toughness has also become jagged, large and small openings are everywhere, and the magic stones on the sword grid and the top of the sword handle are also dim, obviously abolished.
"You bastard!" Marlowe threw away the magic sword casually, pulled out his wand from his waist, and pointed at Li Yun fiercely, dozens of magic bullets appeared above his head, and they rained down on Li Yun.
Li Yun danced in the middle of his hand into a light wheel, and the magic bullets were all crushed, and the energy was absorbed again.
At this time, Marlowe's powerful magic was ready, a huge fire snake, this fire snake in the process of flying, the scorching white gas of the wet ground rose, and it was the color of incandescent color, the temperature was extremely high.
Under Marlowe's control, the fiery serpent was like a living creature, cruising through the air, first climbing to a high place, and then swooping down.
At the same time, Li Yun threw out a spar, and the spar burst into the air, and then the fire snake burrowed into the small spar like a tired bird returning to the forest, turning into a magic crystal that shone with flame-colored light.
"Why? Why can you devour all kinds of energy? Why?" Marlowe felt like he was going crazy. The other party is too perverted, and it's outrageous to be like this.
"Has he been teasing me all along?" Marlowe quickly dismissed the idea, muttering, "No, he hasn't always been so strong......"
A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he roared angrily: "You use the power of the Demon Spring to suppress me!?"
Li Yun smiled: "Is it strange? You can gather the power of everyone's negative emotions, but I can only use my own strength?"
"Damn, you thief, you robber, that's all my power. Marlowe said as he discharged his hands, and the purple lightning chain bombarded, Li Yun blocked it with his sword, but this time it was impossible to absorb it all, and the lightning spread out from the surrounding of the blade, forming countless fragments of electric light and misty electrical light mist, illuminating the surroundings brightly.
"Die, die!" Marlowe kept making a false push, and with each push, the current became more violent and stronger.
It was only a short while, Li Yun was completely wrapped in the light of lightning, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly, but judging from the bombardment effect, he was still struggling to support.
"You're going to be finished! die under my simple but powerful soul scorching thunder!"
There was no sound on the other side, but the resistance continued.
After a few more minutes, Marlowe finally realized that something was wrong, he took the initiative to collect the release of the lightning chain, and when the electrical light mist dissipated, he saw Li Yun holding his arm and admiring the sword there, and when he saw him, he smiled: "Thank you, I usually ask for such soul power thunder and lightning but can't, but this time I ate a lot." “
Look at the broadsword again, it buzzed in the air, shaking off a layer of dull luster shell, revealing the sword body that looked like a flood of autumn water inside, the spiritual sword, forged with Marlowe's generous 'help'.
In Li Yun's equipment, this sword was of low grade before, and it had reached the point of being unusable, but now it has completed the step of rebirth, and the accumulation that may not be able to be obtained by killing more than 10,000 living beings has been achieved because of the particularity of the lightning released by Marlowe.
Marlowe finally understood why Li Yun didn't take advantage of the situation after destroying his weapon, just to get him to use other means. Li Yun knew that his strength was biased, and he could roughly guess what type of attack he would use.
What made him even more angry was that Li Yun didn't know when he took his two destroyed magic swords and used them as materials for the broadsword, and sent the materials to help smelt them, and his half-day attack achieved such an effect, which was too infuriating.
Marlowe took a deep breath, a beautiful purple light flowed on his body, and roared: "Then let me refine it!"
As he spoke, he released the lightning chain again, which was even more powerful than before, and suddenly shrouded Li Yun in electric light, and there was a rumbling thunder.
The people in the outer circle of the square regained some strength at this time, sat up with difficulty and gasped for breath, or covered their sore heads and gritted their teeth to hold on, seeing Li Yun being overwhelmed by the dazzling electric light, many people showed a little pleasure: "Yes! It is best to burn it into charcoal." ”
However, after a few minutes, Marlowe was suspicious again, but he still felt that if he held on a little longer, maybe Li Yun would soon be unable to bear it, one point, another point, he finally lost his patience, stopped the bombardment, and looked over with a small gasp. Seeing that in the light mist that quickly dissipated, Li Yun held a magic book in his hand and greeted him, "Your Excellency the Archon, you rest first, don't work too hard, there are two more items, after refining these two items, I will have no magic weapons!"
"You're a liar!" said Marlowe, unusually saddened.
"Why don't we change the way we play, I know that there are still a lot of ways to distort evil energy, and you may be able to use spiritual storms, frenzied bewitchments, and severe soul pain on me...... Don't always bombard with energy dryly, it turns out that this most concise bombardment technique doesn't work well for me now. ”
Marlowe put his hands on his knees, picked up his head and squinted at Li Yun, and snorted: "Think everything is in your calculations?
Li Yun flipped through the Black Magic Book in his hand, and was very satisfied in his heart. Since the Black Tower in New Lanka was replaced by Holy Cedar, the Dark Magic Codex, which was a repressive object, was liberated.
Due to the blood moon, death cold, and the eclipse moon system, as well as the god agent system, which were originally rich in magic, the death planting spell that was originally enriched by the goddess became a chicken rib.
Just like this battle, Marlowe resolutely chose a simple and straightforward energy confrontation, when the strength is strong to a certain extent, the so-called skills seem flashy.
Of course, this kind of strength also has its limits, ordinary spells, techniques, through the legend of the special critical point and extraordinary, become an extraordinary power that can hurt the gods, this is the rumored legend has the ability to kill the gods.
And he and Marlowe both belong to special means, crossing the ordinary scale, but they do not have the ability to break through the threshold of transcendence, so there is a situation in front of them, with ordinary skills, the bonuses brought by those skills are very limited, but because of the limitations of the skills themselves, there are loopholes in the means. It's better to bombard directly and effectively, whatever tricks you have, I just crush all the way, and in the end I can only fight for energy, whose unit time throughput is large, who lasts longer, who wins.
But now that the Black Magic Book has been spawned by soul power and thunder, the situation is different. Since then, the Dark Magic Book has had some extraordinary characteristics, and it will reconstruct the spells in the book little by little, making it have a trace of extraordinary characteristics and become valuable again.
The same is true of the broadsword he uses, after having the sword spirit, this sword already has some extraordinary characteristics, the simplest, just with this sword, without injecting any energy, it can kill the spirit body, what ghosts, unjust souls, fierce souls, demon souls, are effective. And with the continuous growth of the sword spirit, this sword will become more and more extraordinary, and in the end, the sword spirit will condense the soul, and the sword body can extract the essence, re-refining, and become a quasi-artifact, step by step like an artifact.
Putting away the Black Magic Codex, Li Yun didn't answer Marlowe's words, but just smiled at him. He is indeed a winner, if Marlowe is not dead, then his necromantic wand can also be refined, the moon stone staff is not successful, the moon stone is a gift from the goddess, the grade is too high, the holy cedar is also a super high grade, it can be sacrificed with natural power, and it can be practiced with the majestic magic power of the energy pool, but Marlowe's soul power thunder and lightning are not enough to see whether it is color or flow. If you want to activate the spirit of the Moonstone Staff, it is possible to sell coolies like demigods, and the gods are naturally the best, but in that case, the staff will not belong to him. Because the Godhead will suppress his soul-personality.
In addition to the Necromantic Wand, he also has Iron Pear Wood Rune Armor, although it is a bit of a waste of opportunity, but if Marlowe is willing, then he is naturally willing. It's a rare opportunity, isn't it?
"The invisible energy cage trapped me, and then made me indirectly a magician, forging equipment for you, is indeed very thoughtful. But I'm not bad!" As he spoke, a glowing seven-colored magic stone appeared in Marlowe's hand, and the seven colors corresponded to joy, anger, worry, sorrow, and fear, which was an emotional magic stone.
When Li Yun saw this magic stone, his face changed color, and he sighed: "I guessed that you might have such a backhand, sure enough." You should know that if you use it, you will not be you again. ”
The most precious thing about the Emotional Magic Stone is that as a container, it is a Divine Stone, which means that only a divine spirit or a divine life can have a way to refine such an item.
Now everything is clear, when he uses Marlowe, Marlowe is also using him, the seven emotions have to be his own first, and in the process of Marlowe fighting him, these seven emotions are presented in a strong state. Then absorb the emotional power of the others in the square. And then squeeze out the soul power like juice, this step is extremely difficult to do under normal circumstances, but because of his existence, Marlowe only needs to go with the flow and release it desperately, and it has achieved its goal, and now, it has become a qualified emotional magic stone, an extraordinary existence, after use, Marlowe will become stronger, but the price is that his self is erased and he becomes a demon.
"It's all you, it's all you! In another year, no, another seven or eight months, these greedy and stupid fellows will be qualified sacrifices, and I will be the lord of desire. But you've ruined everything, and I can only harvest this little bit of power. But even so, it's enough to tear you apart, and I'm going to use my soul to light the lamp, and make you torture to death. ”
Li Yun didn't pay attention to Ma Luo's cruel words, but said earnestly: "Self-consciousness has been lost, where the master is, the slave is not as good." How cruel do you have to be to yourself before you take this step? Even if you cut me with a thousand knives, it will no longer be the joy of victory that you enjoy now, so you can't be kind to yourself, don't always fulfill others?"
That's all for the previous sentence, and the last sentence is 'Be kind to yourself, don't always fulfill others.' It definitely spoke to Marlowe's heart. He hesitated, hesitated. "Yes, if I don't know I'm me, then it's pointless to be a god!" Why should I sacrifice myself to fulfill the Lord of Desires called Marlowe Baldwin?"
At this time, he suddenly sensed a force trying to sweep away the emotional magic stone in his hand, his emotions were instantly ignited, and he no longer thought about it, almost subconsciously slapped the magic stone towards his forehead.
At this moment, a gray shadow flew by, so much so that Marlowe directly slapped the emotional magic stone on the gray shadow.
On closer inspection, the Grey Shadow was an odd greyhound, with a slender waist, long legs, and a pointed beak, but with a lobster-like bony shell. It was the bone dog summoned by Li Yun, it was a broken and broken floor tile, jumping out of the ground, full of suddenness, and the emotional magic stone slapped into the neck of the bone dog and the connection of the right front leg.
"Liar!" Marlowe howled, feeling that he would never love again...... (To be continued.) )
