Chapter 422 The mission is completed, go to the Ice Temple

·November 15, 4622, Blood Moon Day.
Raculus is dead.
But he is not the last one. I have to go to other tribes and kill other bastards who committed violence against Kelsey!
Raculus has become a five-element-level warrior. With the power of the Blood Fruit, I defeated him by leapfrogging, but the movement was too great. After the winner was determined, it also attracted other people from the tribe.
I was discovered, and I was kicked out of the tribe for killing my own people.
But that's okay, at least I have an honest reason to go to other tribes.
——
·4652, March 9, sunny.
The weather is very good today and I am in a good mood.
Nearly 30 years have passed since I killed Raculus. I have finally avenged Kelsey, and my life seems to be finally complete.
However, I was deprived of my Milne clan, I lost my identity as a tauren, and there seemed to be no place for me on the grassland.
Forget it, let's go somewhere else.
It just so happens that yesterday I rescued a group of cherry blossom caravans that were almost torn apart by werewolves. If I follow them, I can go to the flower kingdom in the east, right?
Although the Daluo Dynasty is more powerful and prosperous than the Sakura Shogunate, I heard that the Daluo Dynasty is not friendly to the orcs, so I would like to go to the shogunate first to take a look.

·4652, April 1, sunny.
I finally came to the Sakura Shogunate. It is really beautiful here, more beautiful than the monotonous grassland. If Kelsey was still here, she would definitely smile very happily when she saw those pink cherry blossoms dancing all over the sky.

·4652, September 6, sunny.
Kelsey, I came to Heian-kyo, which is the capital of the Sakura Shogunate. Not long after I entered the city, I heard a tulip man say that the cherry blossom sea in the Sakura Shogunate is the most beautiful thing in the world.
I know why he said such ignorant things.
Because he has never seen your eyes.

·January 3, 4692, blood moon day.
here we go again.
Every blood moon day, the power of that bloody fruit will intensify and affect my mind. How long can I hold on?
——
·4728, December 17, Blood Moon Day.
More than 200 years have passed since I ate the bloody fruit, and I finally became a five-element-level alien-blood warrior. My father and mother may have never thought that I, Karl, would one day become a five-element-level warrior, right?
I haven't thought about it either.
Never thought about it.

·4733, April 25, overcast.
I took over the escort job of an ancient scholar and accompanied him to an ancient ruins located in the central area of Zhuoyan District in the Western Desert.
This is not the first time I have taken on the job of ancient ruins, but to be honest, I don’t like taking this kind of job, because ancient ruins are very strange, and some things cannot be judged according to common sense. Many of my past experiences cannot be used.
You need to be cautious when using it.
But there is no way, he gave too much.
However, my luck can be said to be good or bad. I didn't encounter any danger during this trip, but I didn't encounter anything valuable in the ruins. It seemed that they had been emptied out long ago.
The employer also said that this ruins had already been explored, but it didn't matter to him. After all, what he wanted to find was some ancient knowledge in the ruins.
But it's miserable for me.
I don't have much extra money to make.
Not willing to give in, I searched for a long time in the ruins, and finally saw a sheet of ice.
This is strange.
Because the environment of this ancient ruins is an obvious magma cave, full of high-temperature gases and liquids, but the ice layer appears there intact, without any sign of melting.
I was very curious, so I broke the ice and went deeper.
Finally, I came to the door of a grand-looking palace. It looked so luxurious. I had never seen such a grand and luxurious building in my life. It was like a creation of the gods.
It's a pity that I don't read many books, and occasionally I can't study hard even if I want to. Otherwise, I would be able to use words to describe my shocking mood at that time.
But the most regrettable thing is that I can't open the magnificent hall and can't enter at all.
There may be treasures inside.
But I am greedy for money, but not greedy. I know that this kind of indescribable thing must hide some unimaginable truth. I can't open the main hall. Maybe it is God Resa reminding me, telling me that this is not something I can do.
tainted.
I left there.
But before leaving, I took away a piece of ice scattered outside the hall as a souvenir.
A piece of ice that doesn't melt is also quite interesting.

The sequelae of the bloody fruit... its influence on me seems to have reached its limit. I no longer desire to kill, but sometimes... I feel in a trance, and it takes me a long time to even think about how to write a certain word.
And sometimes my memory becomes very poor. Even though I haven’t asked my employer for money, I think the employment is over. If I hadn’t had the habit of keeping a diary, I don’t know how much money I would have lost.
Can a fourth-level soul also be forgetful?
Ha ha……

·4787, May 19, Blood Moon Day.
I feel so dizzy that I sometimes have to drink a refreshing drug to keep my mind clear.
——
·4826, January 28, overcast.
I almost drink the soothing potion as water now, otherwise even I wouldn’t believe the stupid things I do sometimes, especially when I’m on a mission. If I don’t drink the refreshing potion, I’m afraid my employer will be killed by me.
——
·4852, April 1, sunny.
The effect of the awakening potion seemed to have no effect on me. I asked an alchemist to prepare a more powerful potion for me. Otherwise, my head would always be dizzy and I would not be able to do things normally.
Is it time for me to retire?
It's very dangerous for me to still accept employment in my current situation.
——
·4868, July 3, sunny.
I bought a house in Qingcao Town, Heiankyo, and decided to retire.
Because the effect of the medicine on me is getting worse and worse, I often do stupid things that I wouldn't even think of.
Today, Morali from next door asked me about my situation, and I told him something half-truthful.
He asked me, do I regret eating that bloody fruit?
Do you regret it?
Ha, how is that possible?
That bloody fruit allowed the Tauren blood in my body to evolve, turning me from a Tauren civilian to a five-element level Tauren warrior, giving me the power to avenge you... Kelsey.
I miss you so much.
real.

·August 17, 4870, Blood Moon Day.
I was dizzy and in pain and I couldn't even rest. I had never been like this before.
Are the sequelae of the bloody fruit serious again?
I had no choice but to go out and find a pharmacist to buy sleeping pills to force me to sleep.
But on the way back from buying medicine, I heard someone crying in a small house.
Her crying sound is very much like you, Kelsey, really, just like you crying when you were a child, more like... the sound of you crying in my arms the night before you were forced to get married.
So I couldn't help myself and went to the window of that room to find out who was crying.
What a coincidence.
She is a female tauren.
More coincidence.
She is also about to get married - forced to get married, just like you.
I asked about the situation.
This will definitely be tragic. This child will not be happy in the future.
I have seen a tragedy once, and I can't see it a second time. I don't want this child to be like you, so I decided to help her and help her get rid of this fate.
I discussed a plan with her.
But now that I have returned home, I suddenly feel that this plan is very strange, but I can't figure out what is strange. My head hurts so much and I feel so dizzy. I have to drink sleeping pills. I want to record it and think about it again when I wake up tomorrow.
What's wrong with this plan?
Note: There is something strange about the plan. When you wake up the next day, you must think about it carefully.
——
Finish.
This was Karl's last diary entry. He stopped writing in his diary the next day because he had been arrested by the Law Enforcement Department.
Judging from the condition of his sequelae, he probably didn't think there was anything wrong with the plan when he woke up the next day...
Karl's diary is written one day at a time, without interruption, and has many words.
But for Li Guanqi, these are the only diaries that are meaningful to him, and the rest are nonsense.
Fortunately, Karl likes to keep a diary, so whenever he encounters something while working, he will naturally write it down.
The origin of the bricks of the Ice Temple also happens to be among them.
Li Guanqi not only learned the full truth about Karl's incident, but also got what he wanted, knowing where the bricks and tiles of the Ice Temple came from.
Sakura Shogunate, Western Desert, Burning Rock Area, Central Area!
Although there is no specific route map, for Xiaoxue, as long as he gets near the temple, he will be able to sense the specific location of the Ice Temple, and the "central area of the Burning Rock Area" is completely enough.
"bite!"
"You have learned the entire truth about Karl and completed the mission [Mystery of the Minotaur]."
"Task reward: [Quick thinking (green): You have a sharp mind and amazing insight. You can easily peel off the cocoons of a thing and find the truth hidden behind it.]
"When this talent is first obtained, the soul strength will automatically increase by one level. After that, every time the quality of this talent is improved, the soul will increase by one level."
"boom!"
Li Guanqi's sea of consciousness suddenly surged, and his soul strength was enlightened by a certain spiritual power that he didn't know where it came from, and he was suddenly raised by one level.
[Soul: lv.64→lv.65! (65.2)] (Sixth level soul!)
"call--"
Li Guanqi took a deep breath and forcibly controlled the soul power that was about to escape.
Fortunately, he only upgraded one level, and he can still completely control the fluctuations caused when his soul breaks through. Otherwise, the fluctuations in soul power will probably escape and explode... Well, but with Sophia protecting the surroundings, nothing will happen.
thing.
Therefore, it is indeed much more convenient to have a powerful follower when you go out.
"The truth is all in this."
Li Guanqi put the last diary in his hand back into the space ring, and then handed the space ring to Brianna along with the divine machine rune box.
"So...what is it?"
The female tauren took the space ring and the divine machine box and looked at him curiously.
"It's an unknown bloody fruit."
Li Guanqi thought of his simulator and smiled with emotion, "There are always adventures in the world that will change many people's lives. For example, Carl, in 4501, he ate a
A blood-red fruit.
Then, the tauren bloodline in his body began to evolve, and he had a much higher talent for different blood than before, and he had the capital for revenge.
However, success is also a result of blood, and failure is also a result of blood.
The blood fruit gave him a talent, but it also affected his mind, making him become bloodthirsty and murderous. Although he lost his bloodthirsty temperament in the later period, it was even worse because his IQ was gradually affected and he did not use stimulating drugs.
You will fall into a state of unclear mind.
And this sequelae is getting worse.
It was precisely because of this that Carl chose to retire.
As for the night he met you, it happened to be the time when the sequelae were getting worse again. After hearing your story, he thought of his childhood sweetheart Kelsey, so he decided to help you.
But in his mental state at that time, he couldn't think of a normal solution at all, so he came up with such a terrible solution.
It is worth mentioning that although he was in a dazed state at that time, he was not furious and bloodthirsty, so..."
Having said this, Li Guanqi looked at the female tauren in front of him and smiled helplessly: "Brianna, if you had been more courageous at that time and made more demands on your 'life-saving straw', I'm afraid the final result would be...
It won't be like this now. After all, at that time, Karl almost regarded you as the second Kelsey, and it was impossible for him to be impatient with you."
"Enough is enough now."
Brianna smiled softly, "I am very content, and I will always remember Mr. Karl. In his name, he took in orphans and did good deeds. I hope that he can also get more blessings from God Resa in the Hall of Valor. He is a
Good people can definitely do it."
"Of course, I will."
When Li Guanqi heard this, his eyes were a little complicated.
Is Carl a good person?
There is never really right or wrong in worldly affairs, only positions.
From Brianna's point of view, Karl is the great benevolent person who saved her life. It is not an exaggeration to erect a monument, worship and burn incense every day... although the tauren clan does not have the custom of burning incense.
"Please sir, please take this away."
Brianna put away the space ring containing Karl's diary, but handed the black and gold divine machine rune box to Li Guanqi with both hands, "This thing is of no use to me. After all, I don't know the password and can't open it, but
Since this young lady has a way to get it, it should be more useful to you."
"Too."
Li Guanqi nodded and took the magic rune box.
This box belongs to the category of sixth-level resources, which is more expensive than the sixth-level soul-ascension array. It is an expensive item worth 300 million gold coins. I don’t know how Karl obtained it in the first place.
Most likely not bought.
However, a magic rune box without a password and without knowing the correct rune sequence has no value, and cannot be sold for even one gold coin.
Because of this box, even if a Bagua-level conjurer can forcibly open it, the built-in space laws will be invalidated and the box will be useless after being forcibly opened, making it completely worthless.
But if it is not sold, to Li Guanqi, the value of this box will still be there.
Because he has instant space.
With the help of this artifact, you only need to have a Liuhe-level being, or wait until he himself is at the Liuhe level and masters the laws of space, and you can take the things inside at will.
So it would be good to keep this magical rune box and use it as a password box.
"Thank you very much."
Li Guanqi put the magic machine box into the space necklace and nodded to Brianna, "Please don't blame me for disturbing you tonight."
"No, no."
Brianna waved her hand, "You helped me take out Mr. Carl's diary. Maybe I can see some of Mr. Carl's unfulfilled wishes in it. This can be considered a help."
"Speaking of last wishes..."
Li Guanqi recalled Karl's diary, and then couldn't help but smile, "Indeed, in his diary, he did write down a lot of things he wanted to do. If you can help him complete it, it can be regarded as fulfilling his last wish. You can make more of those diaries.
have a look."
"Let's go."
After saying that, he glanced at Sophia beside him and said with a smile: "It's time for us to leave Heianjing."
"Eh?"
Sofia was stunned, "But we have just arrived, why don't we take a look around the capital of the shogunate?"
"No."
Li Guanqi shook his head, "We have more important things to do. As for Ping An Jing..."
He turned his head and looked through the window at the intricate, brightly lit streets in the distance, looking at a group of luxurious houses among them, his eyes narrowed slightly, "We will come back, and that day is not far away."
I don't know which family's house there is.
Maybe it's one of Sakura's Nine Martial Arts, or maybe it's not.
But the house of the Tokugawa family, one of the Sakura Nine Warriors, must be even worse than that residential complex.
And next year, that is, 4872, Li Guanqi has to go to Tokugawa Shinji's appointment to translate into Greek for him.
The Tokugawa family's residence was in Heian-kyo, and when he came to keep the appointment, he had to go to the Tokugawa family's house to keep the appointment, which meant he had to come back next year.
As for now?
He had to go to the Ice Temple and unblock the snow-pointing gun from the fourth floor to the sixth floor, so that the snow-pointing gun could completely match his current combat power to obtain higher combat power.
"Miss Brianna, take your leave."
After Li Guanqi said goodbye to the female tauren, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Sophia followed closely behind.
"You two, walk slowly."
Brianna lowered her head and bowed to them both in farewell.
…
…
A few days later.
Sakura Shogunate, Western Desert, Zhuoyan District, Central Zone.
In the sky, two figures shrouded in violent wind flew past.
It was Li Guanqi and Sophia who arrived here.
They first took the teleportation array to the nearest city, and then flew for four or five days before finally arriving at this sterile place.
"It is said that the Western Desert is the worst place in the Sakura Shogunate, and the Zhuoyan District is the worst district in the Western Desert."
Li Guanqi, who was flying high in the sky, looked down and couldn't help but sigh, "This is really true."
All I could see below was desert and yellow rocks, a completely arid zone.
Moreover, the climate is hot, the surface temperature exceeds 70 degrees Celsius, and the air looks distorted. Those who can live here are basically demon species and families of different-blooded humans. Otherwise, it will be difficult for ordinary creatures to survive.
"Owner!"
Suddenly, Xiaoxue's voice sounded in Li Guanqi's mind, and there was obvious excitement in the voice, "I sensed the location of the temple! Well, there seems to be a vague spatial fluctuation..."
“It’s normal to have spatial fluctuations.”
Li Guanqi replied in his mind: "According to Karl's diary, your ice temple should be inside an ancient ruins, and the ancient ruins are all in another separated half-space. The fluctuations in the space are obvious."
