Chapter 2 Original Sin and the Witch(1/2)
Author: Sanguzi
The edge of the character panel is a gray smoke that is constantly evacuating.
Roy observed carefully and tried, but no matter how he touched it, the font on the gray character panel did not change at all, like a piece of light and shadow, as if it would only change if it encountered a specific thing.
Finally, Roy set his sights on the Rubik's Cube.
"What will happen if 98%... reaches 100%?"
He frowned and thought.
"From the prompt just now, the increase in the energy reserve progress is related to the magic item put into my heart by the white-haired and silver-eyed witch. [Sutra Demon Source] - the magic power of the branch, what does it mean?"
"No matter what this is, if you want to increase the energy reserve progress, it seems that there is only the way to devour magic items? Wait!"
Roy opened his eyes wide and stared at the "98%" displayed under the mysterious Rubik's Cube.
"The gray character panel prompts that after absorbing magic items, the energy reserve progress has increased by 97%, but the current energy reserve progress is 98%. Where does this extra 1% come from?"
Does the gray character panel come with?
Roy thinks this is very unlikely.
Since that’s the case, what’s the difference between him last night and him now?
Body? Soul? Space? Time?
Wait, time!
Will the energy reserve progress increase by 1% every day, even if you do nothing?
This was Roy's guess, but he felt that it was almost the same.
You will know what the details are at 0 o'clock tonight.
The mysterious Rubik's Cube is the most promising way Roy can think of to fight the white-haired silver-eyed witch.
But even if his guess is correct, it will take two days to reach 100% energy reserve progress.
Will the white-haired and silver-eyed witch give him two days?
Roy didn't know.
Although I don’t know what will happen after the mysterious Rubik’s Cube reaches 100%, this is his last hope.
"Squeak--"
At this time, the door was pushed open and a knight holding a helmet walked in from outside.
On the face as firm as granite, with deep worries, seeing Roy awakening from the bed, the Knight said in a deep voice: "Master Roy, the doctor has told you that it is best to rest in bed within three days. Sorry, for your health, if you do not listen to the doctor's advice and go out privately again, I will do something to transgress."
"I will bear all the punishment when Lord Lord returns."
Looking at the knight in front of him, Roy forced a smile: "Red...Uncle, don't worry, after this incident, I know the pros and cons."
Red Tulumberg, a bronze two-star knight loyal to the Tulumberg family, fought on the front line with his original father when he was young, and blocked fatal attacks for him many times. He was given the surname Tulumberg for his outstanding merits.
Although he has no blood relationship, Red's existence is almost no different from the "guardian" in terms of the original body when his father is out all year round.
As the eldest son of Black Stone Collar, the father is the first, and Red is the second in the ranking of the original person who is most afraid of.
These are the remaining memories of the original body.
"Just you understand." A trace of surprise flashed in Red's eyes. Roy's performance was a bit far from the lawless dandy in the past, but thinking about the strong stimulation this incident brought to Roy, such a change was not incomprehensible.
Nodded, Reid continued to speak, "Master Roy, it's a turbulent time now. There has been a dispute between the Kole Empire and our Glow Empire since the beginning of the year. Lord Lord went to the front line at the call of Duke Morace. As the eldest son of the Tulumbel family, you must protect yourself at this critical moment, as for those nightingales..."
Red gritted his teeth: "When your health recovers, I will turn a blind eye and not report to Lord Lord. However, please do not leave the city privately and leave the positioning talisman given to you by Lord Lord."
"I know you hate the supervision and positioning of positioning amulets, but if something happens to you, we can also quickly rescue according to the positioning of the amulets. Fortunately, you are fine this time, if..."
Hearing the concern of the Knight in front of him, Roy nodded solemnly: "Don't worry."
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and asked, "Uncle Red, can you teach me how to practice knights?"
Roy's eyes lit up slightly as he spoke.
The knight in front of you is not an ordinary knight, but a powerful knight in the bronze two-star level. Faced with those witches who have mastered aggressive abilities, they are naturally far from being opponents, but if they are those witches who have just alienated and have auxiliary abilities, they are not completely unsuspecting to win.
The original body did not have a knight practice, so it seemed a bit late to start from scratch, but for Roy now, he was unwilling to give up any way to increase his strength and improve his survival.
The original source of the knight's practice is no longer verified, but it is the strongest way for humans to survive in this world and resist those weird and terrifying monsters and even witches, and it has its own unique features.
Internship, formality, bronze... After reaching bronze, each level is divided into three stars, one star is the last, and three stars are the highest.
Since the beginning of his practice, the Bronze Knight has become the third-level existence, not to mention that Red is still a two-star bronze star, and is not considered a weak person among the Bronze Knights.
"Knight practice? Master Roy, are you willing to learn?!"
Hearing Roy's words, the surprise on Red's face overwhelmed his worries.
In fact, no matter how he persuaded him in the past, Roy, who had tried a knight practice once, felt the pain of practicing and practice, said that he was unwilling to continue practicing.
The Tulumbel family was not a great nobleman with a long history, and was also the title of Lord. Roy's father was granted the title of the empire after he obtained great military achievements in the war twenty years ago.
As the second-generation eldest son of the newly-represented noble family, if Roy is not outstanding enough, the Tulumbel family will be in danger after the Lord grows old. This is something that Red, who is loyal to the Tulumbel family, would not want to see.
In his opinion, Roy was not interested in academic research, but at least he had to be with him a knight.
Unfortunately, Roy was unwilling to practice knightly practice no matter how he persuaded him.
And now, he actually took the initiative to mention it?!
Unable to help, Red was a little grateful to the Nightingale who abducted the young master.
Of course, thank you no matter how much he is grateful, after he catches this person, there will be no less punishment!
After being excited, Red calmed down and shook his head regretfully under Roy's gaze: "Master Roy, you are willing to practice knighthood. I am naturally very willing to teach you, but your current physical condition does not allow it."
"Forcibly practicing will not only not have the effect of exercise, but will also further damage the body. As soon as possible, you must wait until your mental state is better and your body is recuperated for a week before you can proceed."
As a bronze two-star knight, Red's words have great authority in the field of knights.
This disappointed Roy.
One week later... it is unknown whether he can live for two more days.
It seems that the path of knight practice is not working for the time being.
Roy thought silently in his heart, with regret on his face: "So that's the case, I'm anxious."
"It's a good thing that you have this intention." Red's eyes were filled with relief, and he bowed slightly: "Master Roy, then you can rest first. I'll be waiting not far outside the door. If you have anything, please give me a command."
After saying that, Red went out.
Roy was lying on the bed, continuing to think desperately about how to make himself live for two days.
...
The center of the Black Stone Corps is Black Stone Town, surrounded by Black Stone Town, with villages of all sizes.
About thirteen thousand meters away from Blackstone Town, there is a small village called "Vig".
In recent years, with the friction of the border, Blackstone Ridge, which is a border area, has often recruited farmers to serve as soldiers, which has also led to some houses being semi-abandoned with the absence of their owners.
At this moment, there was a half-collapsed stone house in the basement.
The beating dim candlelight reflected an extremely pale face.
It was a girl lying on a wooden bed in a light yellow dress, with a melon-shaped face, a tender face, and two furry and hanging fox ears on her head.
By the wooden bed, there was a white-haired and silver-eyed witch with an anxious face and paced back and forth.
"how so?"
She looked at her companion in front of her, muttering to herself, and the black filaments kept swimming in her pupils, full of anxiety and confusion.
According to the plan, she buried the "thing" into the heart of the son of the Lord of the Black Stone Ridge, and then her companions could use this as a basis to control the other party's words and deeds.
However, when the white-haired and silver-eyed witch completed the operation and returned to the stronghold, they saw the fox-eared witch with pale face and continuous bleeding from seven orifices.
If the witch hadn't woken up, her physique would have been greatly baptized, far stronger than ordinary people, and would have died long ago due to such injuries.
But even though she was not dead, she was in a state of dying.
A day passed, and although the fox-Eared Witch had awakened, her condition was getting worse and worse.
The white-haired and silver-eyed witch could sense that the pollution in the fox-eared witch's body was gradually intensifying, causing her condition to become worse and worse.
The deterioration of the state also increases the rate of pollution aggravation, forming a vicious cycle.
"That thing... was destroyed... the Black Stone Collar... There is something weird... don't go!"
The words said to her when the fox-eared witch woke up were still vaguely echoed in her ears. The white-haired and silver-eyed witch stopped and walked back, with a firm look in her eyes.
She is preparing to sneak into the lord's mansion in Blackstone Town tonight.
The words of the Fox-Eared Witch made her realize that the young man who seemed to have no resistance in front of her the night before was not as simple as it seemed. There was a master behind him.
But no matter what, she had to go to the Lord's Mansion tonight, because the Fox-Eared Witch could hardly hold on.
She must find the source that caused the ever-increasing pollution in the fox-eared witch - the son of the lord named Roy, or the witch who served in the Blackstone Corps.
