The title of War Lord is still astonishing in strength, but judging from the situation in the Everlight World, this title alone may not necessarily be able to deal with the world, and the Zerg race needs to be developed to the extreme.
There is no rush to deal with the world. The top priority at this time is to continue to complete the talent tasks. Su Xiao checked the team channel and saw the news about Caesar in it.
"My dear friend, I didn't keep you waiting long."
Caesar's voice suddenly came from the seat next to him. Su Xiao almost drew his sword. The opponent's appearance was too sudden. So far, he has not figured out the principle of Caesar's sudden ability. It should not be a space ability.
Otherwise, there would be no transmission fluctuations at all.
After Caesar appeared, he took out a metal disc the size of a plate. This object was exactly the same as the blood-patterned disc on the Blood Altar in the underground world, except that the material and size were different. The blood-patterned disc on the Blood Altar was
It is made of rock, while the blood-striped disc is made of black metal.
It is not an easy task to make the Scarlet Monarch one of the new four giants. Any flaw in any link will cause the plan to fail.
Taking this item with them, Su Xiao and his group left the meeting hall and followed a downward staircase to the underground of the Supreme Temple.
This place was originally full of life force intake runes, used to slowly steal the original vitality of the creatures in the middle city and lower city. Those residents of Sanctuary City who chose to be loyal to the Lightless Temple thought they were out of the bait, but in fact the four giants didn't care about them at all.
, and treat them as vitality bait, slowly taking away their original vitality.
At this time, the appearance of this underground space changed drastically. With the assistance of several disciples of the machine builder, the appearance of this place was almost the same as the Blood Altar in the underground world.
Every member of the Wuguang Temple put on the clothes of the scarlet camp and was located in the open space in front of the altar. The scarlet guillotine was moved from the underground world.
Seeing this scene, Su Xiao retreated to a secret room. Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha entered the secret room together. Unexpectedly, the Dark Eater also came in.
"Tell me, what are you asking me for this time?"
The Dark Eater crossed its shoulders with both hands. After not seeing it for a few days, its aura was actually stronger than before. It seems that this elemental explosion caused many monsters in this world to become weak, and the Dark Eater took the opportunity to swallow up a lot of their original power.
Seeing the Dark Eater walking into the secret room, Su Xiao was a little surprised, because this time he entrusted him with three bottles of [Dark Potion] in order to make the sacrifice of the monarch more realistic.
"there."
Su Xiao pointed to the high altar in the distance. The Dark Eater looked in the direction pointed. The next second, its vision went dark.
When the Dark Eater slowly woke up, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. The magic shackles on his arms temporarily suppressed all of his abilities. Not only that, he also found that there was scarlet around him, and he was in an altar.
At the edge of the high platform, he was locked in a large iron cage.
With a bang, a red-eyed knight used a war hammer to break open the lock of the iron cage. Before the Dark Eater could react, two red-eyed knights had already pulled it out of the iron cage. One of them held one of its arms and pulled it away.
The guillotine stands towards the center of the altar.
The Dark Eater looked around. Inside the altar was a rock disk with a metal disk in the center, and an old man dressed as a high priest in scarlet robes was standing under the blood-striped disk.
This scene immediately reminded the Dark Eater of its previous experience of being caught in the underground world. It looked towards the guillotine and saw a deformed monster that had been restrained on the guillotine, and then the blade above it fell.
The head of the deformed monster was cut off in response, and the blood that emerged from the broken neck dripped down the grooves on the guillotine, spreading from the rock patterns on the ground to the blood-striped disk behind it.
Seeing this scene, the Dark Eater's angry gaze suddenly became clear. Before it could open its mouth, a scarlet light emitted from the blood-striped disk, and the source blood of the abnormal monsters on it was completely absorbed.
Su Xiao in the secret room saw this scene and knew that the matter had been successful. The current scene was achieved by Caesar disguising himself as the high priest of the scarlet camp and cooperating with Wood's disguise ability.
This level of disguised sacrifice is naturally unlikely to deceive the Scarlet Monarch. After all, the Scarlet Camp is the force he created. However, the target of this disguised sacrifice is not the Scarlet Monarch, but the Scarlet Scepter.
In fact, when we were in the underground world, this kind of sacrifice from the scarlet camp was to temporarily appease the big daddy of the scarlet scepter through the blood of monsters.
When dealing with the Astral Devourer, Su Xiao released the "Scarlet Scepter" from the "Book of Original Sin" and into the Astral Devourer's belly. As soon as the Astral Devourer spit it out, the "Scarlet Scepter" disappeared without a trace.
No trace.
Based on Su Xiao's knowledge and experience of original sin objects, the "Scarlet Scepter" is definitely not the kind of original sin object that can move on its own. In other words, 99% of original sin objects will not move on their own. After seeing so many original sin objects,
Among other things, only the "Necronomicon" and "Ancient Mask" have this characteristic.
To be more precise, the "Necronomicon" will not move without a holder. In this case, the only person with this characteristic is the quasi-original sin of "Ancient Mask" who ran away from home on his own.
thing.
The "Scarlet Scepter" disappears suddenly without moving its position on its own. There are only two possibilities: 1. Return to the seal of the Book of Original Sin, 2. Return to its holder.
There is no doubt that the "Scarlet Scepter" has returned to its holder. This is a forced choice. Compared with being sealed by Su Xiao, through the causal connection with the holder, it enters the seal where the holder is.
Among them, it is a better choice for "Scarlet Scepter".
In other words, the Scarlet Monarch is now holding the "Scarlet Scepter", which means that the Scarlet Monarch may break through the seal faster.
In contrast, if you sacrifice your original blood to the "Scarlet Scepter" at this time, to a certain extent, it is equivalent to sacrificing to the Scarlet Monarch, and the people who make the sacrifice are a group of people wearing scarlet camp clothes.
Member of the Temple of Light.
Under the auspices of Caesar, all this was successfully accomplished, and in the judgment of the Void Tree, the matter would not be so complicated. It can be summarized in one sentence, for, the Scarlet Lord accepted the sacrifice of the Sunless Temple.
At this moment, on the sixth floor of the Supreme Temple, the sculpture that originally represented the Lord of Eternal Darkness was removed, and the sculpture of the Scarlet Monarch was erected there instead.
Almost at the same time, Su Xiao received a prompt in the secret room of the underground space.
[Tip: Due to the camp change of the Aphotic Temple, your talent tasks will also be changed. The Aniless Temple and the Four Giants will be changed to:]
[Scarlet Monarch, Archbishop of the Abyss, Star Devourer (killed), Ancestor (killed). 】
[It has been verified that the Scarlet Monarch’s combat power is much stronger than that of the Lord of Eternal Darkness. With this change, the difficulty of talent tasks will be greatly increased. 】
…
As Su Xiao predicted, if you want to reduce the difficulty of the task, it will be extremely difficult, but if you want to increase the difficulty of the task, the process will be much simpler.
Su Xiao walked out of the secret room. The various camouflages in the underground space began to gradually recover due to Wood's removal of abilities. Su Xiao came to the high rock platform and took off the metal disc inlaid on the blood pattern disc.
At this moment, the Dark Eater with angry eyes came over, and saw the Dark Eater's mouth full of shark teeth until they clicked, and asked angrily: "You... next time something like this happens, tell me in advance
Tell me."
The Dark Eater's voice quickly dropped, and his anger disappeared. The reason for this was because of the wooden box Su Xiao handed over, and after opening the wooden box, there were ten bottles of [Dark Potion] neatly stacked inside.
Su Xiao followed the stairs to the first floor of the Supreme Temple. After exiting this magnificent building, he reached the middle level of the shelter city through the elevator, then went down to the lower city area and went deep into the dark streets.
After walking around in an alley, Su Xiao stopped in front of a small building. The person living here was Yusha, whom he had met several times before. He guessed that the scarlet seed was most likely in Yusha.
The relationship between Yusha and the female swordsman Losna is currently unknown.
Dong dong dong~
Su Xiao knocked on the door, but after a while, no one responded, but from the perception, there was an aura in the building, and it was Yusha. The other party should be in a bedroom on the second floor.
Su Xiao stepped aside, signaled to Eminem to kick the door open, took out a cigarette and lit it. As he exhaled green smoke, traces of blue smoke spread out to the surroundings, mixed with a trace amount of green steel shadow energy smoke.
It can stay in the surrounding area for half an hour. During this period, as long as someone touches it, no matter what means the other party uses to hide it, they will be discovered by Su Xiao.
Stepping on the broken pieces of the wooden door, Su Xiao walked into the small building. Originally, there were many children, teenagers, and girls here, but for some reason, he felt that these children and teenagers were a little out of harmony when he came here twice.
However, this degree of abnormality was not worthy of his special investigation. Since entering the world of eternal light, he has rarely encountered normal people or relatively normal environments.
Going up to the bedroom door on the second floor, Su Xiao stroked a transparent silk thread with his thumb. This method is actually not bad, but he often uses the spiritual shadow thread as Apollo's stimulation device, so when faced with such methods, he naturally
Can see through.
Su Xiao raised his right forearm, Baha landed on it and activated his space ability. This allowed Su Xiao to use his index finger and middle finger to pinch an explosive bolt from the space. After deactivating the excitation device, he observed the explosive bolt for a moment.
, overall it’s not bad.
Pushing open the bedroom door, Su Xiao walked in and saw a doll lying on the bed, covered with a quilt. This doll was made lifelike, and there were blood marks on its arms, which were slowly floating away.
blood.
The production level of this doll is much higher than that of the explosive bolt just now. Even if you feel it at such a close distance, you still feel that the aura of this doll is the same as Yusha's.
"Losna."
After Su Xiao asked Eminem to take the doll with him, he turned around and walked out of the small building and walked deeper into the dark street. A professional was also here, and he could ask him about the origin of the doll.
Ding bell~
Su Xiao opened the door of a tavern. It was extremely lively inside, but what was puzzling was that the drinkers here all came from different forces. Among them were three scarlet camp boss-level scarlet magic leaders, and two boss-level scarlet ones.
The Grand Knight, three red-robed priests from the Lightless Temple, five armored bodyguard captains from the Black Iron City, a one-eyed troll, and finally a one-armed violator with an astonishing aura and tightly closed eyes.
These people all have one characteristic. Although they all look natural, there are more or less doll-like splicing marks on their hands, faces, or necks.
Su Xiao came here to meet the number 2 of the Phantom Troupe, the Puppet Controller.
The puppet master still wears a fox mask and a loose black robe. Although the black robe is single in color, it has a gorgeous sense of pure color. The fox mask is made of metal. There is a number "2" on the forehead and a small one on the bottom.
The hanging ornament is a little doll wearing a Gothic dress.
The puppeteer was sitting at the bar, with a half-glass of wine in front of her. She used her fingers to move the little puppet hanging under the mask, and it swayed left and right.
"Tell me what you want to do with me. Apart from dealing with your nightmare incarnation, everything else is fine."
Hearing this, Baha, who fell on Su Xiao's shoulder, asked: "Puppet Controller, how do you know that is the nightmare incarnation of my boss?"
"I really can't think of anyone who can have such strong blood. When I saw the nightmare incarnation for the first time, my first thought was that Bai Ye's nightmare incarnation escaped from the nightmare."
These words left Baha speechless. He grabbed a glass of wine with his claws and drank it down.
Su Xiao glanced at Eminem. Needless to say, Eminem threw the puppet in his hand onto the bar. Eminem was indeed a bit naive, but in terms of understanding what Su Xiao meant, Eminem was not at all
Not dull.
"Losna from Sanctuary City, I met her a few days ago."
The puppet master recognized the origin of this doll at a glance. She pointed her finger on the doll and continued: "This doll is very precious. If it were not an emergency, Losna would not give up this doll. Or, she would
This doll is used as bait. After all, the real owner represented by this doll is being targeted by you."
After saying this, the puppet master tapped the blood mark on the back of the puppet's hand with his fingertips.
"Can you track the person this doll represents?"
"It's unlikely. Apart from its precise breath, this doll has no other outstanding features. It's more like a scapegoat doll. It has served its purpose and was abandoned."
After hearing this, Su Xiao knew what was going on. Although she didn't know the relationship between Losna and Yusha, Losna had been protecting Yusha a long time ago, maybe secretly, and had made it for her in advance.
A scapegoat.
The scarlet seed is in Yusha's body. Only by awakening the scarlet seed in the body through the [Scarlet Awakening Stone] can Yusha open the second seal that seals the scarlet monarch.
There are two possibilities. One is that Yusha will have to pay a heavy price after awakening the Scarlet Seed. The other is that Losna believes that the current law-killing camp cannot defeat the Scarlet Monarch, even if the world is opening the "Super·World-Level Ban"
"Surgery" doesn't work either.
Once the Scarlet Monarch's seal is opened and the opponent is still unable to be killed, the Scarlet Monarch will first look for the Shadow of Destruction of Laws. After killing all the Shadows of Destruction of Laws, the second target will be Yusha, who has the Scarlet Seed. Because of this, Losna
I don't agree to open the seal now.
However, Losna didn't know that even if the seal deep in the Sea of Sand was not opened now, the sealed place would not be able to trap the Scarlet Monarch for much longer. As for explaining this to the other party, without clear evidence, the other party would not
I believe it, so there is no need to waste words.
After roughly understanding this, Su Xiao is not going to look for Yusha again. Now Losna has taken Yusha away. Under the protection of the other party, Yusha is safe. It will not be too late to go to the other party later.
"I'm going to deal with Nightmare Blood Shadow tomorrow, are you interested in participating?"
"From the perspective of the risk level of this matter, I am not very interested."
"When the matter is completed, I will pay you the output of the black maple tree."
"This~"
The puppet master hesitated. Seeing this, Su Xiao dipped some wine on the tip of her index finger and wrote 3 on the bar. The offer was already quite high.
"3 ounces of black maple yield, actually..."
The puppet master is even more hesitant. 3 ounces is 85 grams, which is 0.17 pounds of black maple tree output, which is already a lot.
"I said 3 kilograms."
"?"
Fu Fu hit the puppet master hard in the heart. After a few seconds of silence, she habitually touched the small puppet hanging under the mask, and then said: "I will bring more puppets tomorrow."
When Su Xiao walked out of the tavern, she already had a small puppet in her hand. Although it was not the one hanging under the puppet master's mask, as long as she crushed the little puppet, the puppet master promised that she would be there within an hour. arrive.
Arriving at a deserted place in the dark street, Su Xiao set up the teleportation array and looked at Boo Boo Wang, Amu, and Baha. Amu was the first to be timid and slowly stood on the teleportation array, followed by Baha. , Bubuwang persisted for more than ten seconds, and finally stood on the teleportation array.
With a bang, the teleportation array was activated. When the surrounding space fog disappeared, Su Xiao had returned to the manufacturing facility in Black Iron City.
Sitting at the round table, Su Xiao took out a contract. This was a contract prepared for the priest. It did not need to be signed directly by the other party. As long as it was touched, there was a more than 80% chance of triggering the contract.
As for why the priest is plotted at this time, it also involves the Archbishop of the Abyss escaping from this world.
The previous plan of the Archbishop of the Abyss seemed to be a game between Su Xiao, the Lord of Eternal Darkness, and the Archbishop of the Abyss. In fact, it was not the case. If you think about it carefully, there was also a priest.
The first point is that during the last meeting in the study room of the Scarlet Temple, the priest surmised that Su Xiao's mission was to deal with the four giants of the Lightless Temple, and he only needed to kill three of them to complete the talent mission.
On the premise of mastering this important information, the priest will definitely turn it into an advantage and turn passivity into initiative.
The reason why the priest cooperated with Su Xiao was to use Su Xiao to open the seal of the Scarlet Monarch, thereby completing the contract he had signed with the Scarlet Camp, and thereby obtaining a secret method that could increase the compatibility with the original sin object by a medium to low degree.
From a superficial point of view, whether Su Xiao opens the seal to deal with the Scarlet Lord depends entirely on Su Xiao's decision, so the priest is very passive. The priest does know that the seal that imprisons the Scarlet Lord will not last long, but the specifics of the seal How long it can last, the priest has no accurate judgment. After all, it is a seal set by the law-exterminating camp.
Under such circumstances, the priest's situation was very passive. Once Su Xiao chose to ignore the cooperation promise and did not open the seal deep in the sea of sand, the priest's plan failed.
How to make Su Xiao have to deal with the Scarlet Monarch is what the priest wants to do most at this stage, so the priest is looking for an opportunity in the Lightless Temple and the Four Giants.
It seems that the Archbishop of the Abyss stabbed the Lord of Eternal Darkness in the back, but the Lord of Eternal Darkness is only as resourceful as the priest and the Archbishop of the Abyss. He should not be backstabbed so easily, and he should not be able to fight back at all after being backstabbed. There is no energy left.
The reason why this is so is because the identity replaced by the priest, the chief priest of the temple Ozler, is the most trusted confidant of the Lord of Eternal Darkness. In other words, the founder of the Lightless Temple is the Lord of Eternal Darkness. As a status The temple chief priest Ozler, who is only lower than the four giants, is naturally the confidant of the Lord of Eternal Darkness.
The Lord of Eternal Darkness had no room to fight back after being stabbed in the back, because not only was it calculated by the Archbishop of the Abyss, but also its most trusted subordinates eliminated all room for its counterattack.
Once the Archbishop of the Abyss kills the Lord of Eternal Darkness, and then the Archbishop of the Abyss escapes from this world, there will be a killing gap in Su Xiao's talent mission. There is only one way to fill this gap, which is to go through the priest and the Lightless Temple.
Let a new Lightless Temple and the Four Giants appear.
There is no need to think about who the new Lightless Temple and the Four Giants are. Under such circumstances, if you want the new Lightless Temple and the Four Giants to be able to achieve the judgment of talent tasks, their combat power must be stronger than the Eternal Darkness.
Only the Lord, the Archbishop of the Abyss, the Forefather, and the Devourer of the Stars, can the operation be successful.
Thinking about it this way, there can only be one person among the four giants of the new Lightless Temple, and that is the Scarlet Monarch.
In this way, Su Xiao has a reason to deal with the Scarlet Monarch, which makes the priest who was originally passive become calm. In fact, the priest only needs to wait until Su Xiao opens the seal deep in the sea of sand.
, by then, the priest’s purpose will naturally be achieved.
Su Xiao is not worried about whether the priest will come here to meet with Su Xiao this time. If the priest does not come, he will activate the title of [Old Hunter], and then use the existing tens of thousands of demonic flame dragons to keep chasing him.
Fr.
When Su Xiao saw the Archbishop of the Abyss disappearing into the space crack, he considered whether the priest conspired with the Archbishop of the Abyss to backstab the Lord of Eternal Darkness. Now it seems that the priest must be involved in the Archbishop of the Abyss' plan.
While Su Xiao was thinking about this, the door to the inner hall was pushed open, and the priest walked in and sat down opposite the wooden round table.
Su Xiao and the priest looked at each other, both of them smiling, but one of them had a contract hidden in his cuff, and the other held a cursed object with a charm characteristic in his arms.
