Chapter 18 A battle of wits and courage(1/2)
Baigang Town, late at night.
The noise in the pub faded away, and the streets disappeared from sight.
The lights of the town are still bright late at night, and people end the old day in their sleep, returning silence to the city.
And outside the city, more than ten kilometers away from this peace.
An extremely dangerous person appears.
The twisted halo of nothingness swelled in the shade of the hill, and a bony hand stretched out.
Then the crack was torn open, and what came out was a middle-aged man with a gray face. His eye sockets were sunken, the gray eyes were already cloudy, and something was squirming under the loose and tattered robe.
When the squirming stopped, he spit out a mouthful of hot blood. The mark of the holy light vibrated and shone on the grass, and was stamped out by the man with his boot.
"Damn God's Punishment Knight."
He held the rotten scepter in his hand and knocked the tail of the stick against the ground. A dark ancient book floated up from the cracked earth, turning the pages quickly in the air as if the object had returned to its original owner.
Man: "..."
He looked up at the night sky. Under the moonlight, the huge magic warship was hanging over the town. The town with lights below looked weak and ridiculous.
The man showed contempt in his eyes, and then he sensed a teleportation magic reaction on the other side of the hill, but he stood there without making any move.
After a moment of waiting, the person who finally climbed to the top of the hillside was a black-haired boy with cold features and gloomy eyes. When he saw it, he lowered his head and said to himself:
"Are you the high priest of the Yinshen Sect?"
"..."
The man didn't reply, and the wind pressure around him became deathly silent, as if even the air had died.
"I'm asking you something." Luo Wei said coldly.
When he was awakened by the sting of magic power in his sleep and saw the pendant on his chest shining, he knew that the Prisoner's Secret Book he had buried had been taken away.
Ramon Cassiugunos.
The cadre priest of the Yinshen sect.
"You buried this book." Ramon spoke in a hoarse voice, giving a conclusion rather than an answer.
"Yes, Chakar told me that you left symbols on the book, and you can find them accurately as long as you arrange the ritual."
"Where are they?"
"Dead."
A gust of wind blew between the two of them, and Luo Wei was stung by the pressure of magic power that made the pores all over his body ache, but he did not show any signs of giving in.
When dealing with this person, it's useless to pretend to beg for mercy. The other person's suspicion will only make him more wary.
The Yinshen sect values ability more than loyalty.
As for who Chakar is, he is naturally the hook-nosed Yin God believer who was hacked to death.
"I saw it with my own eyes." Luo Wei added.
Ramon struck the ground with his scepter again, and a dark shock wave spread, and then he shrank his eyes slightly.
Without an ambush, the physical strength and magic power are extremely weak.
"What else did Chakar say to you?"
"You plan to deal with a Valkyrie named Shaye Valkyrie. Anyone who dares to offend the followers of the Yin God will surely face revenge."
Ramon narrowed his eyes, Chakar even informed him of this information.
But he still couldn't trust the young man in front of him, even with his temperament, it was indeed very likely that Chakar would choose him to be a disciple.
"Why," Ramon deliberately let out a hoarse chuckle, "You also have a grudge against this powerful angel?"
"I've never met her, and she doesn't know me. I'm not here to see you because of any grudge between you."
"What do you want?"
"Strength."
Silence fell between the two again.
Ramon concentrated his attention and moved his palm slightly towards the scepter.
"You are wearing secret weapons."
"Everyone has to have his own way to survive in this world."
"What is your motivation for wanting power?"
Facing the continuous questions, Luo Wei lost his patience on the top of the hillside and shook his head with a look of boredom, "I didn't expect the Yinshen Sect to have so many questions. I have already answered you enough tonight. I don't think I need to
Tell you everything about me."
Ramon smiled lifelessly.
"Very good, then I will give you strength."
He raised his staff, and the pendant on Rowe's chest emitted a fierce light.
"!?"
Almost instantly, he took out the resistance crystal that Wei Mier had prepared. A burst of black energy quickly filled the inside of the crystal clear crystal and exploded.
He stumbled to the ground, and then shouted angrily: "What are you doing to me? Do you think I trust you? Go back and play in the mud!"
Seeing Luo Wei turn around and leave, Ramon's eyes changed for the first time.
"Wait."
Now that Chakar and others are away, he really needs someone who can deliver information to him in the city.
At least the other party has no intention of exposing him, otherwise the elites of the church and knights would be greeted here.
"What you blocked just now was a knotting spell. After it is carved, it will only detonate if I activate the magic power for the second time."
Luo Wei turned around and was amused, "Do you think I will allow you to plant such a thing on me? Why don't you chop off your head and give it to me for safekeeping?"
Trust is mutual.
Distrust is also mutual.
And he knew very well that the high priest needed him.
Luo Wei looked at Ramon at this moment, and the other person had an expression as if he had done a good job but the conversation fell apart.
"The temptation ends here, tell me what your elemental attributes are, and I will pay compensation for your damaged crystal."
Killing him will not help. If you let him go here, it will be difficult to find a replacement for a while.
At least, he is weak.
This in itself is a kind of trust chip.
"Water, this is my last question for you tonight."
Ramon showed a slightly stunned expression. His physique was not good, his magic power was even worse, and he had the water element. For a person who wanted to become a strong person, he had all the difficulties and obstacles.
No wonder he developed such a cold temperament.
He gathered his magic power, took out a gray skill stone from his wide sleeve robe, and handed it to Luo Wei through the air.
"High-level water-attribute sword skill, "Gray Mist Slash". After the matter here is settled, I will extradite you into the sect. I think you should have investigated it. We are very good at water-attribute abilities."
After agreeing on the time and place for the next meeting, Luo Wei returned to town and immediately called Vermeer using the sound-transmitting jewelry.
The girl who was teleported was still wearing pajamas. After hearing the other party's request, she immediately condensed her magic power and explored his entire body, including the skill stone.
"Nothing unusual." She confirmed.
After the last burst of magic power, her magic power concentration has been able to use high-level spells, and the Church of Prayer is extremely good at purification, and even the tricks of the Godhead cannot hide it from her.
"What...did you do? Why are you so nervous?"
Luo Wei had no intention of telling her.
It is impossible to tell this girl who is not allowed to be a young girl, so I went to her hostile camp and became a young girl.
"It's okay."
Tonight went smoothly, everything he said to Ramon was true, and his attitude was not to gain the trust of the other party blindly, but to gain each other's needs.
Luo Wei is not worried that Ramon will run to the city to verify, or remotely investigate the situation here. You must know that in addition to sword masters like Anaining, there are many unseen forces in White Harbor Town.
There is also a magical battleship owned by the princess. As a lone villain who has just escaped from serious injuries, he has no time to hide, and he takes the initiative to seek death?
It is precisely because of knowing this that Luo Wei dares to deal with the opponent, even though this does involve certain risks.
But he never believes in the other party's promise.
When the matter in White Harbor Town is finished, the high priest will probably kill him without hesitation.
Well...
It is not his style to retaliate without revenge.
To be continued...
