Chapter 168: Fool the Fool, the Procurement is Complete

Having used up the last hole card and doing everything he could, Crane didn't hesitate anymore and ran away.

He believed that even the shepherds in their heyday would not be able to resist the dragon that could exist for ten seconds, and the only thing he needed to do was to guard against the shepherds and some unexpected tricks to forcibly exchange them with him.

Relying on the Joker's physical control, Crane leaps above the container and soon distances himself from Mr. A for hundreds of meters.

Then he felt the familiar, chilling coercion appear.

He knew it was the majesty that the dragon carried.

The devil is cunning, but at least he doesn't drag his feet on the deal.

Crane looked back, and then, at last, he saw the dragon in its entirety.

With its slender neck, overwhelming wings, and long, python-like tail, it drove the wind directly into the sky, and its black scales added to the mystery and magnificence under the crimson moonlight.

It was as if the gods had created this majestic creature by their own hands.

Crane tilted his head slightly, noticing that a golden-red glow began to glow through the cracks in the scales of the dragon's abdomen, and the light spread upwards like a stream of water, allowing Crane to see the tragic scar on the other man's heart.

Apparently, the scar had only just healed, and it was not covered in scales at all.

"What kind of being can inflict such injuries on a dragon?"

Crane didn't dare to think about it, and with his current lack of understanding of the world, he really couldn't imagine the scene when the demigods fought the dragons.

Flames finally erupted from the dragon's mouth, and the entire abandoned dock was filled with golden and red firelight.

Klein felt the unparalleled heat coming, so much so that his hair smelled burnt and curled for a moment, and he quickly retreated a hundred meters.

The dragon's breath lasted for a full three seconds, until the steel melted and the ground cracked, forming a crystalline area with a radius of hundreds of meters.

No trace of Mr. A can be found.

Klein estimated that the other party's flesh and blood were directly dissolved by the scorching dragon flame, even if he had the ability to resurrect, he might not be able to recover again under this kind of attack, let alone the shepherd who was just controlling the flesh and blood.

But the clock has only passed five seconds.

"It turns out that the dragon is far from using its full strength."

Crane realized this, and for the dragon, dealing with the shepherd might be just a joke, just like the shepherd was dealing with himself, and he could crush it with a casual shot.

"It's a good loss."

This is Klein's biggest feeling.

"Although the dragon's behavior is normal, just being summoned he really doesn't need to go all out at the beginning, but. I always felt that something was not right. ”

As a transcendent soothsayer, Crane trusts his feelings.

"There's a feeling of being pitted."

Unable to find any reason for this feeling, he decided to wait and go to the gray mist to divination, but before that, he had to get out of here.

Although the abandoned dock is extremely remote, but with such a huge body of the dragon and such a big movement, I am afraid that the people in the entire district will be alarmed.

If you don't want to be blocked by the people in the church, the most important thing is to flee immediately.

Townsend was very honest and recalled Smaug after the end of the ten-second timer, which was the longest time Smaug had stayed in this world, but unfortunately, no one else nearby could hear his excited roar, which made it quickly feel bored.

Come to the center of the still-scorching crystalline ground.

The shepherd's flesh must have been vaporized, but the extraordinary trait has the property of immortality, and Townsend believes that with Smaug's ability, it will not be destroyed along with the extraordinary trait.

Sure enough, Townsend soon found a blood-red crystal, the material of the crystal was strange, and it felt as smooth and greasy as flesh and blood.

Then, words appear in Townsen's vision.

[Commodity 1: Shepherd's extraordinary characteristics have been successfully purchased. 】

[Remaining procurement time: 160 days.] 】

He knew he could choose to leave this world now, or he could choose to stay in this world until the remaining procurement time ran out.

Of course, Tang Sen chose the latter, after all, the biggest purpose of coming to this world was for extraordinary strength, and now he has just reached Sequence 9, and he is still far from the set goal.

Anyway, after completing the procurement task, he can leave this world at any time, so he no longer has to worry about falling into an irresistible danger, and whether it is the clown potion of sequence 8 or the magician potion of sequence 7, he has already obtained it.

Next, improve your strength step by step, and it's over.

"This should be the fastest time I've ever completed a procurement task."

Tang Sen was quite satisfied with this result, the combat power of Smaug, which had been obtained with so much effort in the previous world, really played an irreplaceable role.

Otherwise, with the golden finger of the infinite purse, Townsend would have had a long time to deal with the shepherds.

After all, with Mr. A's strength and background, unless the demigods make a move, or find multiple sequence 5 transcendents to join forces, they will be sure of victory, and ordinary transcendents are not the opponents of shepherds at all.

Townsend walked quickly across the dock to the river, and without hesitation stepped into the raging dark water.

This is to evade the Church's means of tracking in reality.

With the ability to curse with the Aztec gold coin, Townsend would not drown at all, and walked directly upstream on the riverbed.

Instead of returning to his rented house in Beckland, Crane followed the river all the way to the seashore and found a night fishing boat to get on it.

Beckland couldn't stay any longer, not to mention the possibility of tracking down his own church transcendent organization, and the man who hired Mr. A to assassinate him had Klein in his throat.

He didn't want to face a second assassination again, when the devil would definitely offer a price that would make him even more unacceptable.

Four steps backwards, Klein entered the gray mist.

The feeling that something was wrong had been bothering him before, and he didn't hesitate to manifest a piece of paper.

"The origin of the feeling that something is wrong."

After reciting it seven times, he leaned back and closed his eyes.

Then, Klein saw a man with a hood and a mask, and his eyes exposed outside the mask exuded a dangerous and malicious aura.

Mr. A!

Even though the other party covered his face, Klein still recognized it at a glance, this person was too impressive to himself.

Because I have been exposed to Mr. A's information, can I finally get more information from this divination?

"I hope you can help me. Kill someone. ”

Crane tried to shift his perspective as the words rang out, but could not see the person who spoke.

"The person I'm going to kill is a detective whose name isβ€”"

"Sherlock Moriarty."

With the same words as last time, he should have divined the same scene, and then, when the dream ended, Klein woke up.

He frowned and looked at the words on the paper.

"Not enough, that's not where I feel wrong."

All sorts of information kept coming to his mind.

"The Devil's Prophecy, Assassination, Dragon, Mr. Red"

Crane muttered, sitting on a high-backed stool like a stone statue.

"No, this prophecy may be the source of what I don't feel right. It's just that I'm not focusing on the right thing. ”

As soon as his mind moved, the words on the paper on the table disappeared, and the next moment, another line of text appeared.

"The other people in the dream I just saw."

After reciting it seven times, he closed his eyes.

Once again, the picture appeared in his field of vision, he looked down at the room, and could see Mr. A sitting on the sofa more clearly, while the picture on the other side of the room seemed to be missing, drowning in darkness.

Dark.

Crane opened his eyes, his expression complicated.

After a long time, he raised his hand and put down the citrine pendant.

"Let Mr. A's assassination of me be Mr. Red."

β€œ.”

After reciting it seven times, he opened his eyes and saw that the pendant was motionless.

Divination failed.

With enough speculation and information, there is only one reason why divination fails, and that is that the other party has a strong enough anti-divination ability to even overwhelm the divination on the gray mist.

Combined with the darkness in the dream picture, Crane's expression was uncontrollably distorted.

"So, I guessed right."

"The person who asked Mr. A to assassinate me is Mr. Red, or rather, the devil!"

It's really-

Crane took several deep breaths before he could barely resist the urge to go berserk.

"It's good to produce and sell it yourself."

He stood up and stared at the crimson star that belonged to the devil.

"Should I say it's the devil?"

"Even if I resist trading with Him, He will find ways to force me to trade, even through some despicable means."

"That would explain why the dragon could crush the shepherd, but didn't kill the shepherd in the first five seconds, and apparently the devil was directing me to make a deal with him personally."

"He wants to take it one step at a time, by any means, through what seems like a fair dealβ€”"

"Take everything from me!"

By a secluded river, Mr. Devil crawled out in a state of confusion.

He tore off the aquatic plants hanging on his body and looked at the sky, which was already slightly bright.

"I'm afraid Klein has already guessed that I am at the instigation of this farce." Tang Sen showed a hint of evil taste: "I'm really curious about his expression at that moment." ”

Townsend would not take Klein's acumen and divination skills lightly, and even if he didn't guess it, he would eventually know about it, after all, when he hired Mr. A, Forth was also beside him, and this apprentice was already on the Tarot Society's candidate list, and he would join the Tarot Society soon.

However, Townsend didn't want to hide it from Klein all along, because it wasn't necessary.

It was a good thing for this Mr. Fool to maintain his reverence for the devil, and anyway, for Town, there was no need to have any more contact with the Fool for a long time to come.

At least for the time that I can stay in this world this time, this is the only wool that can be picked up from the fool and from the tarot, and the next time I come to this world, who knows what it will be?

There are too many treasures in the heavens and all worlds, and there are too many power systems, maybe the next time it comes, I don't need to borrow potions at all, although there is no threshold, but the danger is extremely dangerous.

"I don't know what the next world will be, so I wish I could do a divination."
