Chapter 709: The Eye of Calamity (Five Thousand)
PS: PS: The temperature has deviated quite a lot recently, so please pay attention to keeping warm. Don't learn from the raccoon, because of the cold, the old problem of the past has been committed again, and bronchitis meets the raccoon again......
The room was dark, the hustle and bustle near and far became inaudible, and the faint moonlight seeped through the crystal glass, adding a bit of loneliness and coldness.
Two figures, one half-leaning on the wooden door and sitting on the ground, the other standing quietly holding on to the window lattice, patting off the seal of the wine can, and looking up,
"Ahem......" The man by the window didn't seem to be good at drinking, and inadvertently raised his head and poured a sip, and immediately coughed continuously, and his figure trembled slightly.
"Hehe, haven't you drunk it?" Don En wiped the wine stains on his mouth, squinted at the other party's uncommon wolf bรจi, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. But then he looked at the heroic face that had added a little rouge, his eyes couldn't help but stagnate, and he subconsciously licked his lips and looked away.
"Ahem...... Kindness...... The clergy were cautious about alcohol. Exhaling and suppressing the cough, the figure by the window, that is, Charvienne, frowned, as if she wanted to put the jar aside, but finally held it in her hand. She really needed this thing right now to soothe her mind, or rather, to numb her complicated mind......
He shook his head disapprenously, "Ha, it should just be you who abide by these, the clergy I know are all full of poisons, and they are called a slippery ...... Well, don't talk about this. โ
Looking at Xia Wei'an, whose eyes were implicitly angry, Tang En spread his hands, did not expose her self-deception, and diverted the topic: "Let's talk about our escape plan first, tonight the temple will definitely be a mess, and there should be no time to deal with us." But in the middle of the night, we wanted to successfully get rid of the next tracking. It's not easy. So I mentioned that we should stay here for a day for the time being. Up to two days...... There's a saying. Well, the most dangerous place is also the safest place!"
After a pause, he continued, "Starting tomorrow morning, the temple should go crazy. However, with this midnight buffer, the focus of their search will definitely be outside the Holy Light City. And if they frantically search for us for the next day and don't find any trace of us, their confidence and morale will inevitably be lost. We'll evacuate in disguise again. The chances of success are much greater...... Well, what do you think of this plan?"
This is also known as reverse thinking, which is unexpected. Of course, there is also the possibility of self-defeating. However, thinking about the terrible things that Don took away, and Xia Weien's threat to the upper echelons of the temple, it would be strange if those big people didn't go crazy, and they wouldn't think too much about it when they thought about it.
Nodding silently, Xia Wei'an had no opinion. As Don said before, in terms of running away, Xia Wei'an is indeed not as professional as him!
"Yes. That's the rough plan. The next thing I had to do was deal with the search. And you, Lord Vivian. You are the Grand Master of the Holy Knights, and you are well versed in the various tracking techniques of the Temple. Especially those detection magic and the like, I'm really not good at that, so it's okay for you to solve it, right?"
The reason why Don and Charvian didn't fight immediately or simply split apart after leaving the temple was because they both knew that if they wanted to escape successfully, they had to rely on each other's help.
Don needed Charvian's knowledge of temple tracking magic, and Charvien needed Donn's professional running skills. Each other takes what they need, and each one is indispensable.
Xia Weien nodded: "No problem, but I need something, it's more expensive, you have to find a way to buy it for me from the magic item shop in the city." โ
"Willing to help. Don't dare to say anything else, I have a lot of money!" With the Bounty Hunters Guild's quarterly profits in hand, Tang En waved his hand very magnificently, and the temperament of the nouveau riche was clear at a glance.
After making a general escape plan, the house fell silent again.
Of course, the source of this silence did not come from Donn. Successfully achieved the goal of this trip, and now there is no danger to his life, Tang En is nothing to do, and even remembering the tragic situation of the temple before, he can't help but gloat and secretly laugh.
At the same time, I can't help but feel a little emotional. The power of the demon skull was too powerful to be expected by all...... Fortunately, he didn't throw it out by himself at that time, otherwise with the erased temple mage group, his blood level would have to soar......
Smacked his lips with rejoice, and then Don shook his head regretfully. It's a pity that the demon skull shattered on the spot after bursting out with such terrifying power, and it was completely disposable...... Well, it should have been purified by the power of light before, so it couldn't hold up under the light return...... Alas, what a pity! If it is not broken, there is a bone in the hand, where in the world can not go? If anyone is not pleasing to the eye, it is absolutely appropriate to smash the skull directly......
I have to say that Donn's infinite YY is also the reason for Xia Wei'an's gloomy and dull silence.
The demon skull was thrown by her, although it was indeed done with good intentions, and although she was very dissatisfied with the current state of the temple, after seeing the demon skull explode, many injured knights, countless collapsed buildings, and finally fallen statues...... Charvian still couldn't help but feel gloomy in her heart, and at the same time, she was also a little dazed and shaken by her previous firm beliefs, paying such a big price, is she right, or wrong, who can give me the answer......
There was a silence for a while, and finally it was Don who broke the silence, raised the wine jar in his hand and swallowed it with his head up: "Ah...... Well, what are your plans for when you leave here?"
As soon as the words came out, Don patted his forehead, realizing that he had asked the most stupid question. Not to mention that with Xia Weien's current state, can she still think about the future. Even if you have any plans, you can't just talk to him.
However, after Xia Wei'an was silent for a moment, she suddenly said: "Wait! Wait!", there are only a few words, but the categorical persistence in it is extremely strong.
Tang En's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he shook his head slightly. Then I'm sorry, the report letter has been ruined by me, and the person you are waiting for is not destined to come...... Besides, there will always be all good people over there? Not necessarily! I'm also helping you, so that you don't have to be deceived again......
Of course, these words cannot be said explicitly, Xia Weien is an enemy after all, and Don will not do thankless things. Fingers lightly touched the edge of the wine can, and said seemingly casually: "I am presumptuous to ask, not to say this...... Oh. That's right. Remembering the demon skull. I still remember that I was in the forbidden land before, and I saw a huge eyeball, which was quite terrifying, what was that?"
This was another important reason why Don didn't separate from Shavian, he took a total of three things out of the forbidden place of the temple - demon skulls, huge eyes, and documentary evidence!
Transaction records aside, the demon skull had already displayed terrifying power. In this way, Tang En was naturally itchy about the effect of that huge eyeball, and secretly wondered if this was also a great killing weapon like a demon's skull!
So this seems like a casual inquiry. In fact, Don's ears were already pricked up......
"Big eyes?" Xia Wei'an was stunned when she heard this, and then she seemed to think of something, and her expression suddenly changed, "Are they oval-shaped, and your eyes are bloodshot?"
"Well, that's right...... Do you know?"
"Eye of Calamity!How is it possible?How is it possible......" Xia Wei'an's body tensed, and she subconsciously grasped the wine jar in her hand, and walked back and forth under the window, losing her soul, "The evil power of the demon skull is too strong. It can't be destroyed immediately for a while...... But the Eye of Calamity is a harmful thing, and the material is fragile. Why does the temple still stay and not destroy it directly......"
"Eye of Calamity?" Hearing the name is so popular, have I picked up a treasure again...... Tang En licked his lips, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and looked up blankly, "I haven't heard of it, what is this?"
"It's ...... No!" After a pause, Xia Wei'an turned her head, a moment ago she was sad like a rusty knife, but at this moment, she washed away the lead, her sharp aura was like a sharp sword, and as soon as her right hand was raised, the spear in the corner instantly flew into her hand. Taking a step forward, the slightly drunken cheeks that appeared before because he didn't drink often disappeared in an instant, his eyes stared at Tang En, and he whispered, "You stole the Eye of Calamity!"
Hmm, feeling the almost substantial cold killing intent rushing towards him, Tang En's long shirt was windless, and he first subconsciously made a defensive posture, and then opened his mouth inexplicably: "Stealing the Eye of Calamity......? What do you mean?"
As if he had just reacted, Don's face suddenly sank, "You doubt me? I rescued you, and you actually doubt me...... Woman! ...... exhaled, slowly stood up with his back against the door, and laughed angrily, "Hehe, okay, if you want to do it, come on! It's just that the temple is detecting, it's a big deal that after Lao Tzu kills you, just continue to escape." Come on!"
With a muffled roar, he flipped his hand and flashed his dagger, and Don bowed slightly, like a black panther about to attack prey.
Silence, silence, dead silence! The air in the room seemed to be evacuated in an instant, cold and rigid. The two of them were about ten paces apart, glaring angrily, no one backed down, and a fierce battle was about to break out!
However, at this moment, Xu was concerned that the battle would be noticed by the temple, or that she didn't find any flaws, Xia Wei'an squinted, took a step back, shook her hand, and the spear returned to the corner of the room again.
The cold killing intent in the room disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared before. Raising the jug and taking a sip, "You want to know the Eye of Calamity?"
Tang En frowned slightly, as if he was still a little dissatisfied, but finally took a slight breath, flipped his right hand, put away the dagger, nodded, and sat down leaning against the wooden door again: "It's just a little curious...... Well, I'm more curious now. โ
No one mentioned the conflict just now, and Tang En seemed to endure it. But who knew that he was breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly sighed, it is really a special life like a play, it all depends on acting skills......
"It's okay to sue you, anyway, you know the name now, and it's easy to find relevant information. Charvien pursed her lips and said, "Now that you've seen the Eye of Calamity, you'll probably be able to see that it's not really an eyeball. That's right, to be precise, it's actually just a lump of ore. The first time it appeared in the world was about 800 years ago, when it was dug out of an ordinary iron ore mine by a miner......"
After a pause, "No one knows the specific situation at that time, only that after the miner took the Eye of Calamity out of the mine, everyone in the mine went crazy. Their eyes were blood-red, and they would kill anyone they saw, even if they were fathers and sons, they had become enemies who did not share the same heaven! Then, these crazy miners rushed out of the mine, whether it was a pedestrian on the road or a town farm, slaughtering thousands of miles all the way, and the scene was extremely tragic......
Tang En couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "Uh...... Is this the thing?"
"Not bad!" Charvian's eyes twinkled, and she glanced over, "You've seen that thing." How did you feel at the time?"
Sample. You still want to test me...... Don reacted so quickly. At first, he frowned and thought about it, and then his face turned slightly abrupt, "At that time, I was discovered by the guards, and the time was urgent, so I just glanced at it. But now I want to come...... Well, it seems to be a little feeling, but I can't say anything specific, it's not very comfortable anyway. โ
Xia Weien nodded noncommittally. Look away: "That's because you have good concentration as a martial artist, and more importantly, your soul is evil enough...... The greatest characteristic of the Eye of Calamity is that it can provoke and infinitely expand the desires, hatreds, and dark sides of the human heart...... Of course, if a person is already full of evil, and regards sin as ordinary, his resistance will naturally be much greater. โ
Piggybacking on a sarcastic Donne, Charvien continued, "Let's put it this way, an analogy. I want to buy your stuff, but I can't negotiate because of the price. You didn't sell it to me in the end. This is a normal business scene, but if I see the Eye of Calamity, I wonder if you are deliberately playing tricks on me, looking down on me, or even holding a grudge against me for a long time, looking for an opportunity to kill me...... In this case, of course I have to strike first!"
After a pause, he looked at Tang En, who looked stunned again, Xia Wei'an's face was solemn, "This is not far-fetched, and it is by no means an exaggeration! But when it comes to danger, the Demon Skull is not at all comparable to the Eye of Calamity. So ......"
Taking a deep breath, his eyes were cold, "If I let me know that you really stole the Eye of Calamity, the ends of the earth, I will swear to hunt it down to the end!"
"Uh...... You're thinking too much. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Tang En replied quietly. However, in the bottom of my heart, I can't help but smash my tongue...... If what Charvian said was true, then the power of this Calamity Eye was indeed immeasurable!
The Demon Skull is terrifying enough, but at best, it can only destroy one domain, and the Eye of Calamity is different, although it sounds like it can't be used directly in battle, and its influence on warriors is much weaker, it's just a chicken rib. But don't forget, the world is always populated by ordinary civilians who have little resistance to the Eye of Calamity.
In this way, neighbors quarrelling, husbands and wives quarrelling, adults teaching children a lesson, etc., etc., these trivial things, which can be eliminated in a single night and half a day, will be used by the Eye of Calamity and expand infinitely.
You scolded me, you should be killed!
You don't look at me right, I'm going to kill!
You don't look at me, that is, you look down on me, or kill!
......
Imagine the crazy civilians with blood-red eyes, holding butcher knives, and constantly shouting killing and killing in the mountains and fields...... Don twisted his body slightly, and changed his sitting position, if it weren't for the fear of being seen by Xia Weian, he really wanted to swallow the saliva that had accumulated in his throat for a long time.
This Nima is really terrifying!
"Huh...... Hehe......" Unconsciously laughed twice, Don En thought about it, touched his nose and said, "I think I know by now why your temple didn't destroy this thing." โ
"Huh?"
"Although this thing is called the Eye of Calamity, it seems that it can only bring disaster, but it is an indisputable fact that it can control people's hearts. Tut...... smacking his lips, Tang En shook his head and sighed, "If you use it well, this thing is indeed the only weapon for religious demagoguery!"
Originally, it was just casual nonsense to divert the topic, but when Tang En clarified his thoughts, the more he talked about it, the more he felt that this matter was inseparable.
And in fact, the Temple of Light really thought so, the reason why it wasn't used before, it was just thinking about first dissolving the anger of the Eye of Calamity. But who would have thought that in the end, it would be cheaper for Donne......
Of course, Xia Wei'an naturally didn't believe this, and her drunken face suddenly sank: "What nonsense!"
What I want is your attitude, otherwise how can I find an excuse to leave...... Tang En shrugged his shoulders and made a non-speculative appearance, then raised his head and poured the last sip of wine, patted his clothes and got up: "Okay, don't say it." Well, tonight is lively enough, and I'm a little tired. Well, good night!"
Opening the wooden door, Tang En casually raised his hand, "By the way, I'll give you a Jianyi." Well, it's actually good to drink and drink, at least now you are much more attractive than the bitter and hateful appearance before!" The words fell, quickly flashed out the door, and closed the door.
There was no sound of a wine jar slamming on the door, but a cold snort came faintly. Don smiled and shook his head, and walked easily to the stairs.
What, Charvian is drunk? uh, what do you want to do......
Please, not to mention the legendary drunken promiscuity, sex is mostly just an absurd excuse. It's that Xia Wei'an is really drunk, and with her cultivation, she can expel her alcohol in seconds and quickly return to a fighting state.
Want to take advantage of this time? Hehe, that's more like death!
Walking down the corner of the stairs, Don paused, looked up at the closed door, raised his eyebrows, reached into his arms and took out an oval object, threw it casually, and muttered silently, "Headache...... What do you want me to do with you? I can't bear to lose it, but I carry it like a bomb ......."
Caught it, raised it to his forehead, and narrowed his narrow eyes, "Is it so good to control people's hearts......?" Uh?"
The cave, the stone platform, the wild laughter, the hissing, the two twisted and undulating figures...... Scenes buried deep in his heart quickly crossed Don's mind.
Ooh...... Lean back and quickly remove the oval in front of you. After a pause, Don froze in place, his expression gloomy, and finally continued down the stairs with his forehead in his hands.
"Thinking too much, thinking too much...... Don't tempt me anymore, it's true that I'm a lonely man and a widow, but I'm a serious person......"
............ (To be continued......)
