Chapter 188: The Negative Effect of the Death Knell
Crane's instantly pale face made Angel confirm his thoughts.
Sure enough, for some reason, he was afraid, was he simply afraid of me, or was it something on me?
Or, fear of women?
Looking at the "crazy adventurer" who looked away and froze in place and refused to move, Angel was surprised in his heart, but also had a hint of the idea of laughing at the other party.
"Is this a negative effect of your newly acquired magical item?"
She asked softly, leaning closer to each other until they were pressed together.
"I ...... Yes......"
Klein felt his chest thumping, his body trembled involuntarily, and the cold hairs on his body stood on end, like an electric shock.
It's not the excitement that comes close to Angel, it's the negative effect of the magical item he just bought for 9,000 pounds, or the magical weapon, "Death Knell".
"Bang-"
A bright yellow flame erupted from inside Crane's gown, and the figure disappeared from it, appearing in the bedroom in an instant.
Then he quickly threw himself at the door, locked it behind him, and separated him from Angel, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning around, the horrible woman was looking at him with a smile.
She followed, using the afterburners of my "Flame Jump...... Klein closed his eyes in pain, not daring to look at the other party again, feeling in his heart that Angel's fighting talent was only afraid of women.
If it weren't for the fact that there were more women on the street, he would have fled long ago, and would have come back when the negative effects had disappeared.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
Seeing that Klein's whole body was stiff and about to fall, Angel sighed and no longer tried to get close to him, but sat down on a chair in the corner, giving the other party some cushion space.
This thoughtful gesture relieved Klein, opened his eyes, slowly walked to the bed, took off his coat, got into the quilt, and comically covered his head with the quilt, which explained his problem.
It turned out that he had been introduced by Anderson Hood and bought a revolver from a former teammate of the "strongest hunter", "Death Knell".
This weapon, which costs almost three times as much as Good Luck, has three special abilities:
First, it directly infuses spirituality, and ordinary attacks can cause weak attacks, allowing users to easily discover the weak points of the target and provide corresponding accuracy, causing more attack damage than usual;
Second, on the basis of the "Weakness Attack", it provides additional spirituality, which can play an effect similar to a shotgun, causing area damage, and the more spirituality provided, the better the effect;
Third, similar to "Good Luck", if you pull the trigger after breaking the hammer, this attack will be a "fatal attack", and hitting any position on the target's body will be considered a weak point attack, and if you hit a real weak point, it will cause fatal damage to an enemy with average defense.
Carrying this "death knell" will make people feel a constant thirst, which can be solved by drinking more water, but once you use it, in the next 6 hours, you will gain a new "weakness", or strengthen an existing weakness, which is different from the weakness that can cause fatal injuries if hit, but a psychological "fear", such as ......
“…… For example, if you get a weapon and try it on the spot, you now have more 'female' weaknesses? ”
Holding an iron-black pistol that was a few inches longer than the barrel of a normal revolver, Angel asked curiously.
She wanted to try the effect of the "lethal attack", but she was afraid that she would have some strange weaknesses like Crane, so she didn't rush it.
The encounter with the "Magic Pocket Watch" has been etched by me...... She looked at Crane as he hid under the covers, who seemed to sense her gaze and tightened the covers.
“…… Yes, but I hid outside for a while before coming back here, it shouldn't last long, just let me rest for a while. ”
He replied angrily under the quilt.
"Death Knell", which sounds like a name more powerful than "Good Luck", according to its effect, is likely to belong to the "Hunter" pathway, Anderson's "Reaper" sequence, which is why it is worth nearly 10,000 pounds...... Angel put down the pistol and wanted to leave the bedroom to let Klein through this difficult moment, but when he saw the velvet quilt shaking slightly, he felt a little bad again.
She first made her way to the bedroom door with heavy steps, slammed it shut, then held her breath, went into invisibility, and tiptoed back to the bed.
After a while, hearing no sound outside, Klein carefully opened the quilt, he only took off his coat, his shirt was crumpled, his short black hair was a little messy, his eyes glanced around, and suddenly locked on Angel's position.
Oh no, he turned on his vision and saw the thread of the spirit...... Angel, who is familiar with the other party's extraordinary ability, secretly said that it was not good, and suddenly got out of the stealth state and pounced.
“……”
Crane opened his mouth and howled silently, his hands propped back backwards, and in a panic, he forgot to use the "flame jump", and only tried to stay away from the woman in front of him.
"Don't move, good," Angel whispered, getting closer and closer, "you can close your eyes." ”
"Wait, wait......"
"Let me see...... Huh, spirit, body, of, line...... How did you recover? Isn't there 6 hours? ”
“…… I hid outside for almost 6 hours before I came back. ”
"You lied to me?"
"You took the initiative to provoke ......"
After a commotion in the bedroom, it finally regained its quietness, and the dock and the sea outside the window were already hidden in the night, and the crimson moonlight sprinkled onto the earth, sneaking into the bedroom through the crack in the window, flickering slightly.
————
At three o'clock on Monday afternoon, Angel arrived in the palace above the gray fog on time and sat on the high-backed chair belonging to the "queen".
She stole a glance at the farthest "world" Klein, feeling ashamed and remorseful for her actions two days earlier.
Fortunately, everyone was very busy in the past two days, Crane went to Dominica to buy information on Beckland and prepare to return to the Northern Continent, while Angel went back and forth between the rebel private port and Byam, preparing to use his own "redhead" to send the two back to Port Priewd, and by the way, do smuggling business and earn back the travel expenses.
So they all avoided talking about that wonderful afternoon.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool, and everyone~"
"Justice" Audrey greeted happily, her "psychiatrist" potion had almost been digested by her own efforts, and it was inevitable that she would be happy thinking that Sequence 6 was close at hand.
"Hermit" Gadelia seems to have figured out a lot of things after the last punishment, and took the initiative to submit three pages of Russell the Great's diary, but Angel guessed that she was probably helping the "mysterious queen" Bernadette behind her to find out the news, after all, she was punished last time because of this.
In addition, the request she made proves this:
"Mr. Fool, I wonder why Russell the Great was crazy in his later years."
Sure enough, this was the question that Bernardette, the eldest daughter of the Great, asked her to ask...... Angel nodded secretly, she also had some expectations for the answer, after all, this was a senior time-traveler, and a powerful and unrestrained high-order extraordinary.
The fool was silent for a rare moment before he answered:
"I'm not omniscient or omnipotent, so I'm looking through my diary to find out why he's crazy.
"It is certain that Russell set his sights on Sequence 0 in his later years due to the influence of some unknown reason."
Sequence 0 is equal to the true god of that path, and this kind of secret knowledge is already the consensus within the Tarot Society.
As a result, all the Tarot members, including Gardelia, had shocked expressions.
Russell wanted to become a god in his later years, so he became crazy? Was it because of the eagerness to find the path to godhood, or did they fail in the process of promotion or preparation, went insane, and were finally assassinated? Didn't his daughter Bernadette know about her father at the time?
More questions popped up in Angel's mind, and she set her eyes on Mr. Fool without waiting for any further answer.
"You can communicate freely."
He just commanded in a flat tone.
Everyone could only put away their curious gaze and wait for the fool's next answer.
Perhaps He is also looking for answers and wants us to collect more diaries, and it seems that Mr. Fool is not omniscient...... Well, He confessed it all Himself...... Angel sneered, feeling a scrutinizing glance at the head of the long table, and quickly put away his thoughts.
Fortunately, Mr. "Sun" obtained the formula of the "notary" from "World" Klein, and fulfilled his promise to obtain the "Poison Needle of the Black-veined Shadow Scorpion" accidentally picked up from the "Afternoon Town Expedition", and sold it to Angel in the form of a registered account of 3,000 pounds.
Thus, after buying the "Notary" recipe for 2,000 pounds, he had 1,000 pounds left to buy the "Notary's" potion materials, some of which were plants that grew in the sun, and the "God's Forsaken Lands" simply couldn't have them.
“…… When I exchanged all my merits for the scorpion venom needle, the chief of the expedition personally intervened, but it did not stop my actions, and I felt that I should tell you. ”
After the deal was completed, "The Sun" Derick said, looking at the "Hanged Man", apparently hoping that the other party would give him some hints.
"Heh, I don't think there's anything to worry about," Alger chuckled and glanced at Gardelia the Hermit, finally finding his own "strength" in the Tarot Society, "Or rather, you should have been exposed to his eyes a long time ago." ”
Hearing this, Derrick's expression changed rapidly, and his body sat up straight, which made his height even more outstanding.
"But I don't think that's a bad thing, your 'chief' should have confirmed that you have another channel to get potion recipes, materials, and even various bounties independent of Silver City, and if he wanted to solve you, he would have done it a long time ago...... In fact, he is afraid that he will be happy to see the power behind you change the Silver City, and he should be more at ease with you than another elder who believes in the 'True Creator'.
"As long as you follow the step-by-step order and contribute, he will not stop you, and will even help you secretly...... You can try to reveal to him that you have obtained the 'notary' recipe in exchange for some potion materials, and if he doesn't hesitate to agree, you can prove my word. ”
Mr. "The Hanged Man" is a veteran of the Storm Church, with a wealth of "experience" in the struggle with his superiors...... Angel sighed, and after the "sun" thanked him, he asked:
"Mr. Hanged Man, and others, I would like to issue a commission to investigate the recent bloody sacrifice incident on 'Sona Island' near Midrange Island in the southern part of the Raging Sea."
She looked at the "Hanging Man" as well, expecting the Storm's believer to get some news from within.
