Chapter 35: The Fangs of Eternal Life [VI.]
The first shift who was late, I was interviewing all day today, and I didn't start coding words until four o'clock in the afternoon...... If there is divine help, more than 3,000 words are scribbled. Ha Lu Ha, just kidding, pulling, very serious code, ask for a recommended collection.
The three of Cohen followed the mysterious man towards the depths of the Thunder Cliff forest, Rachel obviously didn't know what happened to Lu Dao just now, only that Lu Dao himself was knocked out by the gray man and fainted, and he couldn't remember anything behind him. At this time, he saw a group of people running in the forest with the mysterious person in front of him dressed in black mist, so he whispered to Cohen: "What happened just now, who is this guy in front?"
"I don't know if it's friend or foe yet, but I know that if he wants to kill the three of us, it will be almost effortless. Cohen glanced at Xue Lu after speaking, and they both saw a hint of despair in each other's eyes.
Rachel said urgently: "Tell me what happened just now." ”
Cohen sighed, briefly told Rachel what had just happened, and when he learned that the man in gray was actually a terrifying existence at the level of a legendary fighter, a heart-piercing cool breath instantly surged from Rachel's feet, and his heart said that if the attack just now was not deliberately done by the man in gray, then he would definitely die. As soon as he thought of this, he quickly asked, "Is that Xuelu, did you save me?"
Xuelu shook her head and said lightly: "I don't have the ability to rescue you from Lu under the nose of a legendary fighter for the time being, there is someone else who saves you, you listen to Cohen first." ”
When Cohen finished telling him how the mysterious man rescued himself and Xuelu and asked the other party's priest to save Rachel, Rachel's right hand that was originally holding the handle of the axe slowly released and whispered, "If he is an enemy, I will have to thank him for a while before attacking him." ”
The three of them followed the mysterious man from east to west, and finally came to a valley in the mountains of Thunder Cliff, only to see the mysterious man raise his hand and point to a faintly visible hole in the valley cliff, and said, "You three fly up by yourself, and I will wait for you there." After speaking, his body flickered slightly, and at the same time, a small black magic array suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the figure of the mysterious man flashed in the center of the magic array, and then he stood firmly at the hole in the cliff and waved his hand to the three people under the valley, and walked straight in.
Xuelu hurriedly blessed the three of them with Wings of the Clear Sky, and then slowly flew towards the cave on the cliff. The cave was not large, and Cohen could see the whole of it at a glance, a wooden bed covered with animal skins, a bonfire near the upwind of the cave, and a small pot boiling on a firewood pile, and the whole cave was occupied by the overflowing fragrance. There were several wooden piers near the bed, and the mysterious man was sitting on one of them, fiddling with a few wooden cups at random. When he saw the crowd coming in, he didn't speak, but waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down.
The three Cohen sat down stiffly, and the mysterious man picked up a small pot from the campfire, poured a cup of pink liquid for each of the three of them, and then poured the remaining little into his own cup, sat down, glanced at the three Cohen, and said, "Drink some, you can suppress the shock." But the three of them just looked at the unknown liquid in the glass, and didn't raise the glass.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous, to tell you the truth, it's as easy as killing a few of you than pinching an ant to death. The mysterious man naturally understood the thoughts of the three of them at this time, and said with a smile.
Xuelu finally couldn't help it at this time, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you, and why do you want to save us?"
The mysterious man thought for a moment and said with a smile: "These two questions, every time you get an answer, you need to pay a certain price, and this price is that you must do what I ask, I can tell you the answer, so that both sides are fair, do you say yes, little girl." ”
Xuelu glanced at Cohen and Rachel, at this time they had no idea what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the mysterious man, if the price of getting the answer was to pay for their lives, then the price was too high.
The three hesitated for a while, Cohen slowly raised the cup and took a sip, and suddenly a cool feeling spread from the mouth to the whole body, the whole person felt refreshed, the fear caused by everything that happened in the Crescent Lake just now was gradually covered by the cool feeling spreading in the body, Cohen glanced at the liquid in the cup, it seems that what the mysterious man said is true. After a while, Cohen said slowly, "Can you tell us what the price is?"
The mysterious man seemed to be interested, and said with a little excitement: "Do one thing for me to go to the Lion Crusader City for me, and the other thing is that everything I see today must be kept secret, especially the fact that I will use space magic, if you leak the news, this price will naturally be your life." Do you all understand when I say that?"
Xuelu suddenly interrupted the mysterious man's speech at this time, and said in confusion: "With your strength, what else can't be done, and you actually need us to do it for you?"
"Hahaha, this matter, the higher the strength, the more difficult it is to do, you are just right. A burst of hearty laughter sounded, and the mysterious man happily raised the wooden cup and took a sip, and continued: "As for what it is for, I can't answer you for the time being, and when you agree to my request, you will naturally understand." ”
Cohen let out a long sigh, turned to look at Shellw and Rachel, and asked, "What do you guys think?"
At this time, Rachel stood up, looked at the mysterious man, and said: "First of all, thank you for saving us just now, to put it simply, the lives of the three of us are actually yours, if you want us to die, you don't have to go to such great lengths." As long as it's not something that damages the reputation of the dwarves, I can promise you. After saying that, he nodded to Cohen, sat down again, raised the wooden cup and tasted it slowly.
"What about you, Xuelu!" Cohen asked, looking at Xuelu.
"Like Rachel, I can agree as long as it does not damage the reputation of the Holy See. ”
"Now that everybody agrees, okay. I think we can get back to the topic. What are you saving us for, and who are you?" Cohen asked again, looking at the mysterious man.
After receiving a satisfactory answer, the mysterious man said slowly: "Save you, I just don't want a girl I know to be sad, because you are all her best friends." ”
"You're talking about Connie?" asked Shelly suddenly.
"Yes, that's her!" the mysterious man said, nodding.
"Impossible, when did Connie meet a peerless powerhouse who could actually defeat a legendary fighter, even if it was the Pope, he was just barely tied with a legendary fighter. Xuelu Needletip questioned Mai Mang's answer to the mysterious man's answer.
"Ha Lu Ha What you see is actually an illusion, the Pope's strength is a sure victory even against ten legendary fighters. The so-called tie is nothing more than a means to paralyze the world. The three of Cohen heard a sense of disdain in the mysterious man's tone.
"Did you really save us because of Connie?" Cohen hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"Why don't I have enough to do and offend a few legendary fighters?" the mysterious man's tone was a little annoyed, as if he was upset that Cohen and the others didn't believe his words.
"Wait, you just said a few Legendary Fighters, not one!" Xue Lu suddenly interrupted the topic of the mysterious man and asked in shock.
The mysterious man smiled: "You also saw it just now, those three guys who are dressed exactly the same are all peerless powerhouses at the level of legendary fighters. And they all belong to a mysterious organization of the Holy See, the Fangs of Eternal Life. ”
Xuelu stood up, as if stimulated by something, and exclaimed, "Is that the one at that time?"
"Okay, you don't need to delve into this issue, with your strength, the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes. Now I can answer your first question, but when I do, you will have no choice but to complete what I have requested. After saying that, the mysterious man looked at the three Cohens, waiting for their choice.
At this time, Cohen and the three of them had not yet woken up from the shock brought by the truth, and after hearing the mysterious person's inquiry, Cohen and Xuelu glanced at each other and said, "It's all here, and we have no reason to back down." ”
The mysterious man smiled, slowly unbuttoned his felt hat, faded his gray-white cloak, and then slowly dispersed the black mist wrapped around his body, and said with a smile: "Now you know who I am." ”
At this time, Cohen and Xuelu were stunned, and stood up with a bang, both of them felt that a certain nerve in their brains was scared alive, and their hands were involuntarily raised, pointing to the person in front of them and exclaiming, "Buck!!"
The mysterious person is the old man Buck, who is drunk all day long at the door of Sijiuju, the old man looked at Cohen and Xuelu who had been petrified for a long time, and said with a smile: "Now you understand why I want to save you, right?"
Cohen nodded, and said in that slightly trembling voice: "I'm not dreaming, an old drunk in Sijiuju actually solved the legendary fighter in three strokes and five divided by two, did you tell me in a while that Aunt Demi can kill three in and three out of the subhuman race as long as she takes a kitchen knife?"
Buck shook his hand, interrupted Xuelu's question, and said, "I know that you have a lot of questions, but what I want to say next, you must complete it, to exaggerate a little, this is related to the relationship between the Holy See and the elves and dwarves." If it is not handled properly, the Noah continent will definitely be full of wars and corpses. ”
After speaking, he ignored the surprise of the three Cohen, sorted out his thoughts a little, and continued: "In three months, in the Lion War Crusader City, King Anasta Constantine XI will hold a competitive tournament, and the top three winners will have the opportunity to participate in the Fighter Space after 12 years, and will also receive the half-year cultivation guidance of the heroic warrior Konstantin XI. And what I want you to do is to seriously injure all the participants in this competition and win the top three with absolute strength. ”
After hearing Barker's request, Cohen suddenly said: "Let's not talk about anything else, I don't think we can win the top three with our current strength alone, and this alone will make us unable to complete your request." ”
Buck suddenly laughed and said happily: "I never do things that I am not sure of, I know that Cohen, you kid have important things to deal with, and it just so happens that I have some trivial matters to solve during this time." I'll give you a month to finish the business at hand, and then the three of you will come here again, and I'll give you a big surprise then. ”
At this point, Cohen and the three had no choice but to agree to Buck's request, and all three of them looked forward to the big surprise that Buck said. At this time, Buck walked to the mouth of the cave, looked at the sky, and said, "It is almost dawn, and I will not hinder you from completing the business at hand, and the three of you will come with me." With that, Buck jumped out of the cave and floated above the entrance of the cave, motioning for the three to follow.
