Chapter 10: Departure
Although the "contract" can control everything, it will also consume his mental power, especially when the doomed person who is contracted has the intention of resisting, the mental power consumption will be doubled, which Liao Ji has discovered from his previous experiments with Irene.
Therefore, it is okay to frequently use contracts to forcibly restrain control in a short period of time, but once the time is long, you can't bear it, which is obviously not a long-term solution.
Therefore, Liao Ji felt that the best way was to let Irene be subjectively willing to help him.
And now it seems that this goal has been barely achieved.
"Miss Irene, please search those kobolds, you should be able to turn over a lot of special candles." Liao Ji politely asked.
Irene, who got the order, glanced at the dirty and smelly corpse that was still bleeding on the ground, and then looked at it, and after being exposed by herself, she didn't act at all, and directly covered her nose with her hands, and walked alone to the young man far away from the corpse with a disgusted expression, Irene felt that she was about to give him a white handkerchief again.
The brow jumped a few times, but Irene held back.
Candles are a special item of kobold monsters, and after a while, Irene collected a large handful and hugged them all in front of Liao Ji.
"And then, eldest young master?" Irene asked angrily, she couldn't understand what these broken candles were to collect.
"Come on, let's just light them with a fire."
“... Dot, dot? ”
"Yes, these kobold candles are all made of special materials, which are extremely combustible, and these amounts add up to burn this secret room and all the things inside, which should be completely sufficient." Liao Ji patiently analyzed and explained.
But apparently, this is not what Irene is concerned about
"What! Antique! You're going to burn here? And these precious relics!! ”
After hearing what Liao Ji was going to do, Irene immediately looked like a fried female cat, and even changed her name for Liao Ji directly.
She casually picked up a glass container that was crawling with cobwebs and dusty on the shelf, but still able to taste the classical charm from its shape and texture.
"Do you know how many people will rob this thing if it is taken out on the black market?"
"And this, this, this!!" Irene's fingers swiped over the porcelain, statues, murals piled up in the secret room...
She was like a tigress guarding her calf in front of Liao Ji.
"As long as we sell all of these, we will have hundreds of thousands of ash coins, which is hundreds of thousands! You're just... Go up in flames?? ”
Facing the girl who was greatly stimulated, Liao Ji made a calm gesture to let Irene calm down, he could understand Irene was excited, but.
"Miss Irene, the question is whether you have ever thought that there are so many things in the secret room, maybe they are really as valuable as you say..."
"It's not possible, it's certain! This is the Emperor's "legacy"!! Irene emphasized, in a loud voice.
"Okay, they're worth a lot of money, and they're expensive, but the question is, how is Miss Irene going to monetize them? Oh, monetization means, to change what you call it... Uh, Ember Coins? ”
After Liao Ji's words, Irene blurted out: "Don't you say it, go to the black market to sell it!" ”
"Well, but according to your previous description, the turbid items in this era are very rare, and they are still contraband, so if you take out so many contraband and sell them on the black market at once, won't anyone else target you?"
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if you plan to sell slowly, don't forget, you are not the only member of the tomb robbery this time, or... Miss Irene, if I'm not mistaken, you're just the one who looks at the map and shows the way, right? And your employer is also a real thief... Forget it, let's call it an expedition, they can get so many guns, and they are so determined to kill people, and even threaten your family later, if there is no big organization behind it, I don't believe it. ”
After Liao Ji's words, Irene finally calmed down, and after she paused, she said in a disgusted tone:
"Their name is Kaval, and they're in our Black Cave Gathering Place... The notorious big gangster. ”
"That's right..."
"Then Miss Irene, what do you think you would do if a notorious gang found that the members he sent out were wiped out in the caves, and the scavengers who led them the way came back alive, and they continued to sell one precious treasure after another on the black market, in exchange for you, what would you do?"
Huge benefits can blind people, Liao Ji's words made Irene suddenly come back to her senses, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.
Her expression quickly faded, and she was a little flustered.
"If Kaval they knew I was the only survivor... Then even if I don't do anything, they're going to arrest me...", Irene muttered a little ungodly.
"Indeed, so there is only one optimal solution, which is to make Caval think that you also died with you, which is why I have to burn this place down, so as to create a scene where no one survives, and when the gang sends someone to investigate, I can completely get rid of you."
Irene's eyes became brighter and brighter after hearing this, and she quickly looked at Liao Ji with an approving gaze.
"I didn't expect you to sleep for five hundred years, but your mind is quite bright."
"Thank you."
In fact, another big reason why Liao Ji burned down this place directly without feeling distressed was because many things here were really just like the [Emperor's Sword] after five hundred years, turning into decaying antiques.
As for the good things that can really be kept unchanged for 500 years, in the sarcophagus, those five pieces... No, after excluding the piece used on Irene, the remaining four pieces of [Turbidity Crystals (Small)] have already been received by Liao Ji, so this former resource point secret room is of little value to him, it is better to burn it down and leave no traces.
On the other side, Irene, who was still happy that she could get rid of the gang, but when she thought about it along this line of thought, her face changed again in an instant.
"Shhhh No, wait! That, what about my mother! She's still seriously ill and waiting to be treated at the clinic in the gathering place, and I can't leave the gathering place with her in this situation, I, I..."
Before this, Irene knew that trading with the gang was very risky, but she still took this job, and one of the main reasons was that her mother, who depended on her for her life, urgently needed a large amount of money to treat her and save her life.
But now, not only did she not get the remuneration she deserved, but also got into a big trouble with the gang, she could never leave her mother alone, but if she wanted to take her mother, she had to pay high medical bills, and the source of this money could only be the inheritance, but once she sold the inheritance, it would attract the gang to track down...
Irene felt as if she was stuck in an endless loop.
At this time, another voice had to interrupt.
"Miss Irene, I have to warn you, although you can't take most of the things out of this secret room, at least... You can take the most valuable one out, can't you? ”
"The most valuable one?" Irene looked around confusedly.
Until Liao Ji pointed at himself with his finger.
"As long as your mother still has a breath of air, no matter how complicated the illness, I can easily heal it, Miss Irene, you yourself should also know this very well."
Liao Ji's Irene recalled that a few minutes ago, the other party treated herself, and the girl immediately blushed and was full of excitement.
"Yes, yes! How do I put the old old... Ahem, young master, you forgot! ”
But soon she showed some tentative looks, and Irene lowered her head slightly, and asked with a little cautious feeling, "You... No problem? ”
"What do you mean?"
"That's it, that's it! Your ability is so powerful, it must consume a lot, right? Is it really okay to use such a precious ability on a scavenger's mother! ”
Irene puffed out her cheeks and said a little embarrassed, she had to say it so clearly.
I have to say.
The girl after the "Holy Healing Technique" has returned to the youth and beauty that she should have at this age, and the good looks that were buried by the wind and frost of the scavengers before are glowing.
Liao Ji couldn't imagine that he could see a little "cute" shadow on Irene at this moment.
"First of all, you are no longer a scavenger, and secondly, I signed a contract with you, and you became my doomer, at least for the duration of the contract, you are my man, you work for me, and I am naturally responsible for my subordinates."
"As for the last... Don't worry, we were a big man five hundred years ago, and although our strength has weakened a lot now, it's still easy to use the healing ability just now four or five times a day. ”
got Liao Ji's personal promise, and Irene was completely relieved.
Of course, when the young man said something like "You are my person", the girl couldn't help but blush, and her heart broke down.
But anyway.
Irene suddenly felt that someone was "covering" herself, and it seemed that she was also... Pretty good?
"Okay, Miss Irene, hurry up and get to work, I really don't want to stay in this hellish place for a second."
Facing the young man who was urging her, but he didn't have the slightest intention of helping, for the sake of the other party being able to treat his mother, Irene obediently and honestly started to be a worker.
She crushed the kobold candles vigorously, extracted the combustible substance from them, and distributed them evenly throughout the chamber.
After doing all this, Irene picked up Liao Ji, borrowed the shovel of the previous kobold, and climbed out of the hole when she came.
In the past, she couldn't believe that she could climb a cave more than ten meters long, but now she can even hold a big living person with one hand free.
This is the power that the Doomers bring.
Liao Ji, who came to the upper floor smoothly and was put down by Irene, took over the simple torch that the other party had made out of time, and the sizzling flames reflected the young man's delicate face.
"So... Is this a prologue? Liao Ji muttered quietly.
"What did you say?"
"It's okay, let's go."
Liao Ji gently threw the torch in his hand towards the hole below, and turned around directly.
Soon, in the next second, the flammable wax oil with the characteristics of the kobold, after coming into contact with the open flame, only heard a "boom" and quickly ignited a raging fire in the secret room, and the hot heat wave swept out from the cave entrance, and the red light of the fire illuminated the cave.
Irene, who was following behind Liao Ji and looking at the young man's dashing back, pouted.
Hmph, the whole process was after she was busy, but in the end, she became popular, but she went into battle in person, she didn't need her, and she didn't even look back, what kind of handsome!
...
...
But, but it really seems pretty cool, and she'll try it next time!
