Along the way, the Joker has exposed one of his shortcomings, and he doesn't seem to have particularly powerful destructive abilities.

Although he can perform clones almost infinitely, although he can create strange objects out of thin air, although he can cause all kinds of strange results that go against the common sense of the world...... But he didn't show much of a destructive ability.

The self-rotating saw, the means of eating the jade tree raw, the visual impact may be very strong, but the real expressiveness is actually very inadequate.

In the face of the tree spirit demon net, he also adopted the means of intelligence cracking, it can be said that this is his habit or like, but having such habits and preferences itself can explain some problems.

The moment he saw the cave, Roth began to suspect that it was a trap, and that the elven priest of McTice Kim was probably the one sent to deal with the clown.

It would be nice if the reaction from above could be faster, now Roth doesn't think it's okay to be a strange weirdo like the Joker, and Roth can't say that there is anything wrong with the attitude of killing outsiders and not letting go, but it is possible to solve it peacefully, wouldn't it be better?

Draw McTinkin's attention to himself here, and perhaps settle the matter by talking.

And if the smell of blood on Roth's body, which can only be smelled by special people, really continues to attract strange people related to the Outlands like a hungry monster, it is better to ask the people above to help him than to hold on to himself.

McTsikin pondered for a moment why Roth was revealing his secret here, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think my real purpose is to deal with the clown here? ”

The clown appeared in the middle of the two with a funny fake serious expression and asked, "What's the matter? quarrel? quarrel is not good, one step further is the goal of this time, isn't it good to be peaceful in the end?"

McZekin didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly cast a malicious labyrinth on him.

"Uh-oh-oh-oh!"

The clown's strange scream before he disappeared echoed through the cavern, and a second, two, three seconds passed, and his cry still echoed, but he couldn't crack the maze like he had done before.

Lista was incredulous: "Actually, you managed to lock him up!?"

After so many days, he was used to not questioning anything the clown had done, but he didn't expect the clown to fail this time!

Roth suddenly said to Lista: "Lista, the next thing has nothing to do with you, you don't need to help!"

Lista was a little confused, but now that he was completely out of condition, Roth offered to keep him out of the matter, and he couldn't ask for it.

McTiffin glanced at Lista and didn't say anything about it, just observed the situation of the malicious maze and smiled: "Sure enough, in the face of a maze without an exit, no matter how much he tries to explore the path, it can't help." Even if he discovered the truth of this labyrinth, it would not be so easy for him to force a breakthrough with that level of destructive ability. ”

Roth doesn't think the situation is particularly bad now.

The clown is no longer a completely unmanageable existence at this time, in other words, the reason to kill him must be gone.

And the possibility of Lista being turned against should now be minimized.

Roth knew the way people like Lista thought, he had attacked the clown when he first appeared, although the clown didn't seem to care, but seeing that Lista had no intention of trying to communicate with the clown in the past few days, Roth knew that he would definitely not be able to get over this hurdle in his heart.

This is not to say that Lista will feel guilty about the clown who expressed good intentions, but if there is an opportunity, for example, there is someone who wants to deal with the clown and has the ability to deal with it, he will definitely not be able to resist it again.

"Since he's not so much of a threat, why don't we talk to him, Mr. McTwinkin. I suppose you're someone from the Adventurers' Guild, right?"

Of course, he could be from this Camp Five, but it doesn't matter if he's wrong here.

McTice Kim looked at Roth with interest and said, "Half right, half wrong." I did come because of the guild's intelligence, but my target was never this clown. ”

Huh, Roth subconsciously touched his pocket watch.

Could it be that the identity is revealed?

McTsikin continued: "Ever since filth began to pollute our world, we have not been threatened by any foreign gods, and I think they are also taboo against filth. I don't know where you got your knowledge of the Outlands...... That's right, the Qin and Han people have indeed been inadvertently responsible for dealing with foreign evil gods, and it is not impossible if some knowledge is passed down. ”

Not exposed? So what is it for?

Roth asked tentatively, "Wait, if you say that, your target is me, right?" Now, I don't remember what bad things I've done!"

"Since you are from the Qin and Han dynasties, then you should have heard of the term [Disaster Star], right?"

Roth's thoughts froze for a moment.

Seeing him like this, McTiffin was also a little unbearable, but it was precisely because of this that he should explain his words to him: "Although this kind of statement is often only used to slander innocent poor people, in fact, people who meet the definition of [Calamity] do exist. We elves see things differently than you humans, so we can find some problems in your historical sources that you have not noticed yourself. ”

"From a statistical point of view, there are times when there are always people like that. They were not behind any conspiracy, nor were they even the main victims of any incident, they only happened to be present in every catastrophe of that era. Even when there is no calamity, there are always unstable situations around such people. These are all counted from the historical materials kept by your human race, and this is only a person who has been recorded, and how many have not been recorded!" McTiffin sighed, "Your human race itself is not completely unaware of this, especially you Qin and Han people, since they have created terms such as disaster stars and broom stars, they should have realized that there are such people, why has no one made countermeasures?"

Roth retorted angrily: "How can you take that argument seriously if such a statement is just anger against the innocent? And if such a person exists, at least the church should have a corresponding explanation! How can you, a pastor yourself, believe that there is a fate that invites disaster?"

"I also hope that the true God will respond, but it is not possible now, and even then, in such a crisis that the world is facing, we cannot allow the existence of the calamity to cause chaos!" McTsikin looked resolute.

Roth had no choice but to change his perspective: "Even if this is the case, there is no evidence that I am the scourge you call me, right? This is only the second commission since I started my adventure! If I talk about the scourge star, wouldn't Thrando be more in line with your description!"

McZekin showed great patience in the face of Roth's questioning: "Thrando is indeed a problem maker, but he is not a scourge and is already wanted by the authorities, but a hidden threat like you is even more dangerous if it is not heeded." Of course, what you say is not unreasonable, just because you encountered the big bang on your first adventure, and you met a foreigner on your second adventure, it may be a bit arbitrary to think that you are a scourge, but it is always good to be cautious. And you have a chance to prove whether you are a scourge or not. ”

"Opportunity, what do you mean?" asked Roth.

"This will certainly not be the first time in hundreds of years that we have tried to control the Calamity, and the results have strengthened our resolve," McTwinkin said. Attempts to capture the Plague will always cause problems, and even if the Plague is controlled by us, they will continue to bring new dangers, and this must be the fate they represent!

"There were some of them who we caught without causing unnecessary problems, and we did let them go, but they turned out to be relatively unlucky people. In other words, follow me, and as long as you don't cause a new disaster in a few years, we will compensate you accordingly. Combat skills, spells, by the way, you seem to have the disadvantage of insufficient internal strength? We can also help you! Even if you waste the life because of us, we can make up for it, and this is even an unavoidable opportunity for many people, so why should you hesitate?"

Of course there is, if I was really captured by you for a few years, it would be strange if Yoel didn't knock on your door! Roth was a little crazy in his heart, how could he think that he was still in trouble for a long time?

And if you force Yoel to make a move, not only will your fake identity be scrapped, but your identity as a disaster star will probably be determined in the eyes of these people!

"You...... You don't represent the will of the Adventurers' Association or the Kingdom officials, right?" Roth thought about the way out, "If you have the approval from above, then you don't need to make so many circles at all, just bring someone to arrest me!"

McZekin sighed, "Sure enough, you don't plan to be captured." Inevitably, years seems like a long time for short-lived species, and even if we promise to make amends, they don't want to lose their freedom. For you, our claims are only one-sided, and without official approval, even regular adventurers are often reluctant to trust us, and always end up using violence. ”

McTiffin pointed to the depths of the cavern, and something that looked like sawdust came out from under his clothes and floated into the depths of the cavern, and the green light in the entire cavern dimmed instantly.

"Here, there are no surprises that can happen, and the clown has found a way to deal with it. As for your other companion......" McTiffin looked at Lista, who immediately left the hilt of his sword with both hands, "He doesn't seem to have any intention of forcing his hand, and I doubt that there is such a deep friendship between you, and it would be good that you took the initiative to ask him not to interfere." ”

It's not just that there is not such a deep friendship, if I had known that this was the case, it would be nice if he didn't help you knock me out, Roth thought to himself.

Roth's preemptive remark to Lista first gave McTice Kim the illusion that Lista would help if he didn't, and probably succeeded in adjusting his psychological expectations of Lista from "fighting for rebellion" to "fighting for neutrality".

And for Lista, even if he wasn't going to help, with that sentence he would have had an extra lump in his heart when he had the idea of betraying himself to help McZegin.

It's a windfall, but the problem is that it doesn't seem to have much of a role.

At this time, the clown suddenly escaped from the malicious maze technique, and his mouth kept complaining: "Hey! There is no exit to this maze! This is too ......."

McTinkin casually used another malicious labyrinth to lock him up again.

"He doesn't even have the means to counter it. McTsijin couldn't help but smile and said, "Even an adventurer mage who has just reached the iron level would not be so powerless, let alone a mage with a serious teacher's training." Although these outsiders can do many things that seem to us strange by relying on the different rules of the world, how can many of our abilities not be the same in their eyes? ”

Lista felt like he was lying down and was shot.

"You strike first. McZekin said to Roth, "This foreigner is much easier to deal with than I thought, I still have a lot of strength to spare, I hope that I can solve this matter without anyone getting hurt, and if you can recognize the difference in strength and surrender voluntarily, then everyone will be happy." ”

Roth found that there really wasn't anything he could do, and it seemed that something had happened to him, or that he was not in danger of his life in the face of an opponent other than filth, and that he might not be able to care if [he] was free...... Even if he was controlled and protected by this elf, it would be much more convenient for him......

"Whew......" Roth slowly pulled out the long knife, and found that his mood was unexpectedly relaxed.

It may have been a pointless fight, but because of it, it was a rare decision he made just for himself.

He at least had the freedom to be caught without restraints.

Perhaps as a sign of respect, McTis also showed his own means.

Countless sawdust floated out from under his clothes, and in front of him they were reformed into a huge six-spoke wheel covered with religious paintings, with the emblem of the true god on the axle, the colorful clouds symbolizing the entrance to the kingdom of God on the rim, and the angels on the six spokes.

The idol on one of the spokes of the wheel is slightly mutilated, probably from the wood chips that were used to deal with the control nodes in the depths of the cavern.

Holding the end of the long hilt in his left hand and slightly down the grid with his right hand, Roth raised the long knife above his head and started in a manner similar to a Japanese samurai sword.

Then his arms moved, but the long knife did not move, I saw his left hand as a hammer, turned his wrist and pulled down, and the internal force punched through the back of his hand, making a big hole in the wheel!

Sawdust was scattered, but McTinkin's face did not change in the slightest.

The effect of this blow was even more than Roth himself expected, but he did not hesitate.

At the same time as he punched with his left hand, he had already slid his right hand to the end of the handle, and resisted the back of the long knife with his shoulder, and at this moment the second internal force surged, reaching the blade at the shoulder, and his right hand held the tail of the handle and shook it.

McTwinkin is still at Roth's mercy.

Rott gritted his teeth, and when the [handle tail flick] was thrown onto the wheel, a section of internal force stored in the long handle was triggered, and the internal force on the long knife exploded, successfully breaking through the wheel, and sent out a knife aura towards McTinkin, and Lot regained his grip on the long knife with the help of reaction force.

McTsikin then stretched out a finger, turned counterclockwise, and said, "Reversal, Wheel of Divine Power." ”

The sword aura stopped, regressed, and returned to the position where it had been issued, before its presence vanished.

The sawdust that had been knocked off before rolled up like a tide and returned to its original position to reassemble the wheel.

In the sound of the wheels rolling, the restored wheels are reversed sixty degrees counterclockwise.

McZekin smiled mildly: "It obviously has the shortcomings of insufficient internal strength, but it can make up for it with tactics and combat skills, and even the long knife that has not been in hand for a long time has been used perfectly." It's really very good, you have wasted a lot of time in the position of a businessman, and it is really sad from the perspective of short-lived. Having fought at the end of your rare golden years, it may be cruel to ask you to accept the fate of years in captivity, but I hope you understand that these sacrifices are made for the sake of this world, and it is not meaningless. ”

"Sacrifice, huh?" said Roth, "why did you change your words again, and you said before that even life can be compensated!"

"That's what I thought after thinking about the short-lived species. Years make no difference to us elves, but they mean a lot to you, and even if we can extend your life, the lost time will not make up for it. It is because of your talent that I have to explain this to you. McTis said.

Roth wondered, "Does that sound like I don't want to surrender?"

McTzekin responded: "But you don't have a choice, so I think at least I need to be more honest at this time." ”

Roth snorted and shook the long knife in his hand.

The other party seems to have made up his mind to make Roth retreat, but in fact, if it were not for Roth, anyone with similar strength now, even a stronger person, would probably lose his fighting spirit after seeing McTinkin's methods.

For example, looking at the stupid Lista over there, this person has been embarrassed for the past two days.

But Roth had no intention of giving up.

The mutilated idol was now only a third of the way down, and it was clear that it was not a means that could be used indefinitely.

Don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, at least force the other party to take the initiative, maybe you can also attract [him] to do something!

"I'm angry! This maze hasn't changed even the slightest bit from last time!I'm ......" The Joker jumped out of the malicious maze again, and was locked up by McTzekin again.

Roth seized this moment of opportunity and stepped forward!
