Chapter 99: Instant
"Then why didn't he let go of all the gods who were guarding the Prison Heaven and Evil and choose a more benign means to save the Night Pavilion? With his ability, it wouldn't be difficult to escape the sight of all the guardian gods and quietly rescue the Night Pavilion, right? It can directly wash away the image of only using violence and blood to solve everything. ”
"Tut-tut, do you think there is a way for the long-ingrained image to be uprooted in an instant?"
The old woman was suddenly speechless by the short sentence of argument.
"If you don't use this subtle means to eliminate your evil image in people's hearts, other means will undoubtedly be rampant and rude in the eyes of gluttony."
“…… I never thought He was so delicate, and I never thought that He valued His evaluation in the eyes of the world so much. ”
"Then let's focus our conversation on - who broke the seal gluttony technique twelve years ago?"
At this time, most of the grass tobacco had been burned, and the fat two fingers could not hold the whole grass cigarette. Even, the burning cigarette almost touched the fat man's fingertips—but the man continued to carry it without paying attention.
As if expectantly, her eyes stared straight at the pensive old woman.
Still can't think of it.
"The seal cast by Disenter belongs to the 'reincarnation moment' with the highest strength in the enchantment magic - not to mention trying to forcibly break through this seal by external forces, even from the inside, it can't be broken, it's like a secret room."
"Since it's a secret room, then—what is the right way to open it?"
“…… Key? ”
"That's right! It's the key to this secret room! And this key is precisely due to the shortcomings of the technique of 'reincarnation moment' itself, and Tao Tao perfectly took advantage of this shortcoming and took the opportunity to escape. ”
"You say...... What are the disadvantages of reincarnation? ”
"Even if it's the most powerful spell in the enchantment magic, there's still something that can't be stopped! That is—the flesh. This is a spiritual sealing magic that can separate the soul and consciousness from the body, however, the body becomes an empty shell and cannot move, but it does not mean that the body is also sealed. ”
"Yes...... But when gluttony was sealed, even the flesh disappeared completely! ”
"It's not that it's gone—it's 'hidden' in advance by gluttony. We can understand that when the gluttony first attacked the Stafen Plains, the flesh of the manipulation was not the real body, but a substitute. The substitute body dissipates automatically when the soul is stripped away, giving people the illusion of gluttonous death. ”
"So it was premeditated......? Could it be that he had already guessed that he would be sealed by Disent? ”
"That's right. Don't you think it's weird? Can you bathe the hell guarded by the gods alone, but you can't resist the siege of just humans and dragons? I'm not talking to you about the bloody hell for the sake of telling you a story. ”
"So gluttony is deliberately sealed...... Target? ”
"I don't know for sure, but it's an indisputable fact that He left behind his true body, which is now in its entirety somewhere in the human realm, and with it the other six Patronus."
“…… Don't!? Now the user who manipulates the gluttonous flesh is not the gluttony itself? ”
"Hahahaha! Great insight! Looks like you've understood my hints. Although it is impossible to determine whether the user who is manipulating the gluttony is the one who personally broke the seal, the dust has settled - the real gluttony is still imprisoned in the 'Samsara Moment', so there is no need to worry. ”
The fat man laughed heartily, and finally threw aside the pedicle that was less than two millimeters left in his hand.
"Democente shouldn't have been reported yet, right?"
"Of course not. But I look at the reaction of Kui Yong and the Night Pavilion, and I guess I don't know that my master is not the deity, right? It's a pitiful thing to knowingly serve strangers you've never met. ”
"But it's strange to say, the information of the guardian gods around the gluttony should be very hidden, let alone humans, even most of the gods may not know, so how do the users who currently occupy the gluttonous body get along?"
"How do I know? Maybe it was the memories of his body that told him. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me, and besides, I have other things to tell you at the moment. ”
The fat man frivolously took the topic just now, and quickly connected the new topic to the table.
"Is there a new product to be imported?"
"It's not a business issue, it's something that might happen later. Wait, there will be a lot of battles here, and the people involved in the battle are expected to be Grossar and Kui Yong, I advise you to arrange a protective formation outside the store, it is difficult to protect your store from the aftermath of the fight. ”
"What is the basis for this battle?"
"It's nothing, it's just the ugly self-satisfaction of the human heart. At this point, I have a guest to meet later, please allow me to retire first, and come back to your store when I have time to share interesting things with you. ”
“…… If you can, I hope you don't hear anything 'too interesting'. ”
It seems to be an exclamation with words in the sentence.
The fat man smiled meaninglessly, slowly stood up with his bloated body, and walked away from the weapon shop leisurely.
As soon as the door of the store was closed, a slender black figure suddenly flashed past the fat man's side.
Quite unceremonious appearance and line of sight with the fat man.
The fat man stared at the figure indifferently.
"You're ...... Street Bright Lane's personal assassin? ”
"The name is 'instant', I hope you can remember the name as soon as possible, so that it will be more convenient to cooperate in the future."
Blink.
It was the cronies and assassins who served Lane and Jill.
Looking closely, there was an unconscious little girl lying on Instant's back, the straw hat on her head was about to fall off, and the girl was defenseless to lean her sleeping little face on Instant's right shoulder, and her cute appearance was almost covered by the straw hat.
However, the fat man still easily saw the identity of the girl.
"Is it Dora?"
"Do you know this girl?"
"Yes, her mother is a loan shark customer, and it seems that she is curing her brother's strange illness."
"I see, but the prime minister urgently needs the hearts of the children in the city, and I apologize for affecting your business."
"It's nothing, it's nothing—if it's Jie Minglangke's needs, I naturally have nothing to say. But then again, looking at your impatient tone and demeanor, could there be something wrong with the capture plan? ”
"Yes, I won't tell you, I don't know who reported to the palace that there was a serious theft of a child, and now there are a large number of troops in the market area who are intensively searching, and the generals are involved, which greatly increases the difficulty of capture."
I couldn't see the veiled face, but my tone was unexpectedly depressed.
The fat man feigned shock and pity.
"Really? It sounds dangerous, but my base is in the underground tunnels of the commercial district, and I don't think it's likely that the army will find the underground tunnels, so why don't you leave the children in my stronghold for now. ”
"Lord Jie Minglangke has already given the order in advance, and it has been discussed with your cronies. Most of the children have now been placed in your base, and I apologize for being offended without your prior consent. ”
"Really, really? It doesn't matter, if my cronies know about it and agree to it, I naturally have no opinion. After all, in the event of a force majeure accident, it is impossible to ask for everyone's consent. ”
"Thank you very much for your understanding!"
He bowed and thanked him sincerely.
"But who could it be? Not to mention the secret plan that can know your secret plan, you are not afraid of death. ”
“…… I don't know. ”
"So what are you going to do now?"
"Because there are still a few controlled children to carry, in order to prevent being blocked by general-level figures, the prime minister lent me a very powerful magic prop and told me to use it if I was in danger."
"Oh? Can you show me? ”
"Yes."
Instantly and cautiously sliced through the air with his slender white fingers, and a rift in different space split between the two.
A space-like approach.
He reached into the crack and pulled it out—it was a translucent jade ball wrapped in a cloudy black aura.
"This one is ......"
"It turned out to be the 'Demon Summoning Blood Jade'? As it beliefs, the things taken out are indeed dangerous. ”
Before he could put forward half a word, the fat man took care of his own appreciation.
"Do you know the name of this magic item?"
"How could you not know? However, I still have to remind you that the difficulty of using the Demon Summoning Blood Jade is very high, as the strongest prop that can summon phantom-level monsters, if the user's strength is not as good as the level of summoning monsters, it is very likely to be eaten by monsters. Of course, you can also only summon monsters below the high level. ”
"Don't worry, the little one has the combat level of the Phantom Level, even if he can't suppress it, he can fight with it, and it is absolutely impossible to be in danger in terms of life. Moreover, the prime minister trusted me to use it because he believed in me. ”
The instantaneous tone revealed the stubbornness exuded by the tsundere woman, and the dark face was hidden by the hazy tulle, even if you couldn't see the full expression, you could vaguely see the confident smile.
The fat man smiled disapprovingly and said no more.
"That's all I have to say - I'm just going back to the stronghold to find Bright Lane, so come back with me."
"Yes—Lord Kugoura."
This is the fat man's pseudonym "Jiugou Luo".
Nine Dog Luo turned and walked towards the more sparsely populated depths, and immediately followed behind him—the shadow under his feet suddenly turned into a shadow.
The pitch-black human body is made of shadows, without human faces and breath, just cold shadows.
As if he was secretly reporting something to Xiang, the face without a mouth leaned closer to Xiangyan's ear.
The expression was ugly in an instant.
The moment behind him suddenly stopped, causing the man to look behind curiously-
"What's going on?"
"It is said that a powerful swordsman successfully broke through the resistance of the shadow army and approached the business district."
"Is it possible - detect your traces?"
“…… Impossible. Lord Nine Dogs, please allow me to hand over this girl to you, and send a message to Lord Jie Minglangke on behalf of the little one, saying that my subordinates should first prevent this mysterious swordsman from probing. ”
"Oh? No problem. ”
The petite hatchlings were carefully moved into Jiugou Luo's fat belly in an instant, like a pillow-like comfort.
The moment it was handed over, the instantaneous body quickly sank to the surface of the ground as if it were falling from a height, sinking into the shadow under his feet.
Disappear.
Holding the sleeping Dora like this, Jiugou Luo stared thoughtfully at the air.
Powerful Swordsman...... Could it be Kui Yong?
"Hee-hee-hee-hee...... It's getting more and more interesting. ”
A disgusting grin reappeared, and Jiugou Luo turned his head and took a fat and slow step towards the depths of the business district.
Half an hour after the news circulated to Grossal.
Running through the streets of the market district, Grossar was already dressed in a lightweight wolfskin cloth armor, carrying a new great sword he had just brought from the palace and a steel lionheart that he had already worn at his waist, investigating the theft of children.
In the crowded streets, there was no room for running, and the investigation project had to be low-key, Grossar maintained a plain and natural countenance, calmly looking in all directions and listening to all directions.
However, there are still no new clues.
Unfortunately, Lord Leon is still sulking, and he has not heard his voice for a long time since he returned to the kingdom from the mine, otherwise, if he uses Lord Leon's superior power, he will soon be able to find traces of outlaws.
You can only rely on your own strength.
Here's some stamina-boosting magic—
"Activation—'Immortal Lionheart', 'Brave Lion's Feet', 'Sharp Lion's Eyes', 'Undying Lion'."
The heart is beating slowly and strongly, the muscles in the legs are becoming more explosive, the eyes are clear and can easily see small things, and the lungs are working faster.
In a short period of time, you can run five times faster than usual, and you don't feel tired even if you run at full strength.
Then no problem.
In order to gain time in the crowded streets, it is important to have an insight into the gaps between the crowds in time, and to shuttle between people with dexterous steps, not only to maintain the speed but also to prevent unnecessary collisions.
The enhanced sight quickly looked out to the end of the street—three kilometers away.
Is that......?
I saw that the crowd was mixed with three black-clothed figures with strange whereabouts - a hundred meters away from him.
Five seconds of staring.
A new figure finally came into view.
Are the children in a coma!?
Six unconscious children, three men in black. Each man in black carried two children on his shoulders.
Because people are too focused on the businesses on both sides, coupled with the lively and noisy chat, it becomes a natural cover for the three criminals. The child sleeps temporarily, with no painful expression on his face, and may not even know that he has been kidnapped.
In the distance, the man in black seemed to sense Grossar's gaze, and his sneaky eyes seemed to meet Grossar's eyes.
Then he ran away in the opposite direction.
Run away? Not possible!
Grossar pulled out his scud and charged at the three prisoners - a chase through the clogged streets.
Worthy of casting multiple layers of strengthening magic, Grossar was able to maintain a speed of nearly forty kilometers per hour to shuttle through the crowd, not only perfectly skimming through the narrow gaps, but also so fast that he did not even leave a residual image.
No matter how fast the pace of the man in black is, it won't help.
The distance between the two sides is shrinking dramatically.
There were still 100 steps away, and there were 10 steps left in a few seconds.
Grossar's eyelids did not blink at all, and the visual enhancement and moistness brought by the "sharp lion eyes" allowed him to keep his full attention on the three thieves and catch the latest traces in time.
There are many dark alleys and tributaries along the street, and it is very likely that you will disappear into a certain alley with a slight movement of your front foot.
For this reason, maintaining visual clarity is a must.
However, the thief's speed is also faster than expected. When you activate more than four super-amplitude spells at the same time, it will basically take less than five steps to catch up in no time—but now you are almost fifty steps away and still to no avail.
Even though the distance is still getting closer quickly, it is even worse than normal.
At the same time, the three thieves were still carrying two children in a weight-bearing state, and they were also shuttling through the congested crowd, but they were able to maintain an excellent performance without friction and evade their own pursuit.
I'm afraid it's not an ordinary product.
In a flash.
Wind clouds change color - suddenly withdrawn from reality when thinking.
The lively and cheerful sound of coming and going suddenly stopped.
The blazing heat of the sun lost its temperature.
The colors are rendered as shadowy pitch black.
When Grossar realized it, he inexplicably stepped into the dark space where he couldn't see his fingers.
Grossar immediately stopped and looked straight ahead—the three thieves also stopped and looked at him.
But there was no child to be seen.
This is...... Enchantment?
Wrong.
It doesn't feel the oppression of enchantments.
Do you move to another space?
I was able to breathe normally, I didn't feel any special cold or heat, and my skin didn't show any abnormalities.
Maintaining the same dimension as the human world is a different space that belongs to human beings.
But where will it be?
It must have been the three thieves who did it—but the distance between himself and the thieves was lengthened at some point.
Now hundreds of paces apart, could it be a visual error?
The only good thing is that it is no longer in the market. Originally, I was still thinking about how to subdue the opponent's actions by force, but it seems that in this space, there is no risk of accidentally injuring people for the time being.
On the premise that you haven't figured out this different dimension, melee attacks are not a good choice.
It is estimated that the other party knows his identity, and he also knows that he is good at using a sword, so he deliberately covers himself with space and takes the opportunity to secretly place a trap - but unfortunately he does not only use a sword, but also magic.
Draw your brand-new ordinary greatsword.
The index and middle fingers pressed tightly together, gently brushing over the silver-white surface of the sword—imparting the element of light.
The sword as white as snow and frost shone instantly, radiating the light of faith that could cut through all darkness.
At the same time, it also exudes a murderous aura.
"Don't you ......?"
stared at the unmoved thieves, and still didn't move.
Then I'll strike first!
Lightsaber held high!
A falling swing that splits through the air!
The astonishing arm strength was only one hand—the nearly hundred-kilogram big sword was swung out heavily, as if the blasting sound of the air wail could be heard, and the sword qi filled with the shining light element condensed three splitting shock waves, each hitting with precision.
Both a strong and fast offensive!
The thief nimbly dodged.
Three shockwaves missed.
"What's ...... What!? Amazingly fast? ”
