Chapter 114: Only the Weak Will Follow the Rules Formulated by Others (Continue to Five Watches, Ask for Subscription for the First Shift)

Just when Zuo Si and his party relied on the fireball wand to implement the "kick the door" tactic all the way, clearing out the various monsters placed in the tomb one by one.

Far away in the lair of the [Entangled Talisman] deep underground in Port Carlin.

Seeing that the two vampires she had arranged disappeared from the magic projection on the stone table almost instantly, Shelesha, the "Lord of Talismans", immediately couldn't help but question, "What happened?" Why were my descendants defeated in an instant? ”

"It's the same as the undead creatures that were swept away before.

They took two full shots head-on, with a cast level equivalent to the [Fireball] of a LV13 arcane spellcaster.

Such an injury, let alone two newborn vampires.

Even if you yourself don't have any magic protection, you won't be much better. ”

Another "Master of Symbols", Shangala, gloated.

Although the magic projection in front of him didn't show much of the details of the battle at all, he had already known the general situation through other means.

"Damn! It's that Fireball Wand again!

Can't we send someone who can use the magic of the Nine Rings to just throw a [Great Crack] and destroy that nasty thing?

This thing really affects the balance of the game.

See what they've done with this wand?

All of our carefully placed monsters, traps, and puzzles have been destroyed and destroyed by the ever-exploding fireballs.

It's not at all what I want to see in the game! ”

Shelesha grumbled indignantly.

Although she was the youngest of all the "Master of Talismans" in the room, having only been in this position for less than ten years, she had already planned similar "games" more than once.

But no one has ever cared about rules and traditions like Zuo Si.

Directly use the simplest, most violent, and most effective way to solve all the problems encountered.

He didn't care if the use of the [Fireball Wand] worth 39,000 gold coins in an unknown tomb where he couldn't be sure if there were enemies or monsters seemed a bit wasteful.

I also don't care if this will destroy the valuable loot.

Looking at the somewhat jumping vampire, the lich ragon shook his head meaningfully and retorted, "No, my dear Shelesa.

Game balance has been a false proposition from the beginning.

Only those who are weak and incapable of thinking outside the box will follow the rules set by others and succumb to conventions.

But those who are truly strong, or who have the potential to become strong, will find ways to circumvent the rules set by others and disdain and break with traditions that are not good for them.

Or even through a series of means to change the rules to make it more beneficial to themselves.

Through this game, we can clearly see this essence of Soss.

No doubt!

Although his spell casting level may not be high enough, and he does not have enough spells and knowledge, he is already a true powerhouse in terms of his way of thinking and acting style.

For such a person, we cannot understand and demand him according to common sense, and act out a game to please everyone according to the so-called "script". …

He, like everyone in this room, is a natural chess player, not a pawn to be played with.

What's more, my original purpose was to put the Book of the Dead in his hands through this game, and guide him to become one of us step by step.

As for the process and outcome of the game, it doesn't really matter at all.

And don't you think that the methods and strategies he has adopted in this game have been very successful?

Whether it is the use of the [Fireball Wand] or the use of illusions to confuse the enemy, he has shown extraordinary wisdom by hiding in the shadows through the [Invisibility Wand] and waiting for an opportunity. ”

"I don't understand. If you want to know about the special abilities that Soth has when making magical items, why don't you approach him directly, or trade them with other means? ”

The dragon lich, Sapuhrak, asks questions that have been bothering him for days.

"For there are already gods who have noticed the existence of Soth.

He even sent a paladin to follow him.

If we rush into contact with it, we may reveal many of our hidden secrets.

Don't forget, this god is always investigating us, even trying to destroy the entire organization, so care must be taken.

At least until we are sure that Soth is on our side, don't let him know of the existence of the Entanglement Talisman. ”

As he said this, the two cold lights in Lakong's eyes instantly skyrocketed, showing the wisdom and caution of an evil lich and legendary spellcaster.

It is precisely because of this caution that after the tragic death of the leader of the first generation of [Entangled Talisman], the entire organization not only did not perish, but also developed better and stronger than before.

Shangra did not hesitate to support: "You are right!

The root of the organization's survival and growth is secrecy, and any master of the rune and the core minions must follow this rule.

Don't worry too much about Soss.

Even if he left the Carlinshan and settled in Ascala, the capital of Am.

I can also observe and monitor it through the bases I have established over there. ”

"When did you establish a stronghold in Askatra? How come I've never heard anything windy? Shelesha had a look of surprise on her face.

"It's been a while. You're still young, and you don't know a lot of things. Shangra's tone was playful and playful.

As the most "human" of all the "Talisman Masters", he is one of the very few people who retains his sense of humor even after transforming into an undead.

He often makes innocuous jokes or pranks with other "Masters of Symbols" or subordinates under his control.

Of course, for his men, this kind of horror-filled prank is not very funny.

……

Meanwhile, far away in the ancient tombs of the Great Karlin Desert.

Zuo Si and his party finally encountered an enemy that could not be solved with the [Fireball Wand].

It was a scrawny human, stripped of its skin and muscles, but with a frighteningly large head and a scorpion-like barbed tail. …

It was about two meters seven tall and probably weighed more than one hundred and eighty kilograms, its two glowing red eyes were full of cunning and cruelty, and its skin was covered in a disgusting layer of acidic mucus.

Even after taking a [Fireball Technique] head-on, he was still unharmed.

The reason is simple!

This is a devil who is completely immune to all fire damage, and it is also a relatively advanced devil - the bone demon, also known as the Osai demon by scholars.

Born in the fifth of the nine layers of hell, they are natural violent maniacs, often serving as prosecutors and inquisitors for the Devil's Grand Dukes, taking pleasure in torturing mortal souls and inferior demons of lower status than themselves.

However, the one in front of him was obviously imprisoned in the center of the tomb by the binding circle on the ground.

Therefore, after being attacked, it did not immediately fight back, but just stood under its eyes and stared at a group of five people with scrutinizing eyes.

The two sides held each other for about ten seconds, and then the bone demon took the lead in using the surface lingua franca to speak, "Aha! A group of mortal adventurers! If I'm not mistaken, you're all forced into this game just like me, right? ”

"You were also forcibly summoned by some powerful spellcaster?" Zuo Si controlled the phantom tentatively.

"Of course! Don't you see this huge circle of bondage beneath my feet?

Those damn bastards summoned me out and turned away without saying a word.

They didn't mean to communicate at all, they just treated me like an in-game item!

Don't you think these guys are arrogant and annoying?

So hurry up and help untie the bindings by smashing those silver runes in the upper right corner of the room with a hard weapon.

In return, of course, I can help you reach the lowest level of the catacombs, which is also the only teleportation to the outside world. ”

The Bone Demon tries to create an image that he is also a "victim" and induces these mortals in front of him to release himself.
