For the Evil Fire Puppet, the battle was completely over. From beginning to end, Neo never touched it, but it was indeed defeated by Neo.
Perhaps, if it weren't for Dansteni's forced order, the evil fire puppet's own intelligence could be put to better use; perhaps, if it were an ordinary black butcher who came this time, it could at least make Neo's injury worse.
times
It's a pity that the 'if' afterward was too weak. As the initiator of the incident, the witch Dansteni did not take such a trivial matter seriously. She is now enjoying the glory of Dark Evil, the glorious church of Soles City.
The defilement has reached the final stage. The sacred cross was pushed by the people, and a half-white, half-transparent, grease-like substance poured out, flowing on the ground, stained with ash, and flowed onto the corroded floor, turning black.
…
"Father God, this is the life you love. What they betrayed is what they can't betray the most. They have no real faith at all. This is the real reason for their humbleness..."
As a witch, Danstny is not qualified to say such words. This is the right that only a few kings of darkness have. But Danstny still said: "Humans, they are not worthy of favor!"
"Damn it!" Neo cursed in a low voice, slowly and carefully wrapping the frostbite and leg wounds on his thighs with a cloth band torn from the baggage, before he activated the innate ability of 'Wolf Bloodline'
Afterwards, it has been relieved to a great extent, but this does not mean that Neo's current condition is very good. The lost blood cannot be replaced, and the leg injury can only be said to be nothing serious, and it is still far from healing.
, he can even imagine that even if the wound is bandaged now, as long as the exercise is a little more strenuous, the wound will still burst. If possible, he had better find a crochet hook and thread to suture the wound.
The most painful thing for Neo is the impact of Dansteni's "Evil Soul Curse" on him. Especially now that he has consumed a lot of mental energy to heal his injuries, the impact of this curse is like an erupting flash flood.
Wreaking havoc, if it weren't for the benefits he had gained from the large-scale life healing spell, Neo would have fallen asleep again now.
"Hi! Warrior!" Winnie waved her hands slightly awkwardly to greet Neo. Next to her were Matt who was trying to stay calm and Eric who was shivering and dodging.
Neo had already noticed the existence of these three guys when he was fighting against the Evil Fire Puppet. At first, he thought they were dark cultists. Later, after hearing the words of the three people, he confirmed their identities. Seeing each other now, naturally he didn't think anything of it.
surprised
"I'm not a warrior yet, just call me Neo." Neo is not the kind of pedantic, rigid and egotistical person. He knows very well what the slightly excited light shining in the eyes of these three rookies means.
"Now you should believe that at least I will not collude with the dark forces? So since we have a common enemy, can you help me with a little help?" Neo said straight to the point. He really didn't have much time to talk.
Come on, the power of the evil soul curse is constantly eating away at his remaining energy. Neo can feel that falling asleep again will be inevitable.
Witnessing the battle of wits and courage between Neo and the powerful evil fire puppet, Winnie and the others had a little admiration for Neo. Now that Neo has taken the initiative to get closer, the three of them are a little bit flattered. "Of course, it can help fellow devils be brave."
Fighting warriors are our honor." Winnie coughed lightly and then spoke in an official tone with a straight face. The atmosphere was a bit like a high-level meeting in a formal occasion.
Neo smiled slightly. Although they are similar in age, their growth experiences are very different. In comparison, the three of them are civilians with mentality and IQ consistent with their age. He should be regarded as a soldier, and he is also a veteran. Premature, more likely to represent
It's the misfortune of growing up
After briefly introducing himself, Neo asked Matt and the others to smash the evil fire puppet. When this kind of puppet has enough energy, its body is extremely strong. Even if it is injured, it can be healed by molten fire. However, once it loses energy, it will
It's not even as crispy as tiles, but it can still maintain this majestic shape. I'm afraid it's more thanks to the power of frost.
Sure enough, according to what Neo said, Matt and Eric used the balance cone on the hilt of the sword to hit the evil fire puppet. With some force, the big guy immediately shattered, and its limbs fell on the hard ice slope and fell.
A ground full of glass-like debris came out
"Found it!" Winnie picked up a crystal-like object in the shape of a regular triangle with a bit of excitement. There were dense magic threads inside this object, and there was a delicate magic on the four sides of the bottom.
The pattern is connected to these thoughts. The craftsmanship is very complex and exquisite. It is the source of wisdom of the evil fire puppet - the thinking crystal.
"The energy core is here" followed by Matt cheering
"Remember not to touch it with your hands, be careful of residual evil energy," Neo reminded again.
The energy core is a round bead, as transparent as a large glass marble. There are four symmetrical channels on the bead, which go straight to the center. The center is a smaller circular space, with four symmetrical cone tops stuck in it.
A stone half the size of your little finger, emerald green in color, very translucent. Winnie and the others have never seen such a translucent magic stone.
"So beautiful..." Winnie's eyes were twinkling with little stars.
"This little magic stone is the real energy core of the evil fire puppet. The outer layer is just an energy-increasing substance. Even if the energy of the magic stone has been completely exhausted, it is not something we can touch, otherwise it will be contaminated by evil.
Yes, at least it’s a serious illness.”
Matt and Eric stuck out their tongues. For a moment, they really wanted to touch the core with something like a wire to see if it was made of water, otherwise why would it be so shiny?
"Neo, you know a lot!" Winnie is even more fascinated by these magical objects and the stories behind them. She once aspired to become a magician like her cousin. However, talent is sometimes wonderful, and excellent genes are more often...
Every few generations, a brilliance will burst out in someone. Rather than the parents being mage, the children must have the talent of mage. Of course, pure blood is an exception.
Neo now didn't even have the energy to communicate and respond. Seeing that he had obtained the important items, he gave Winnie a smile, and then asked Matt and Eric to help him get out of here.
Winnie and the other three also realized that the recent battle was so loud that it would inevitably attract dark cultists. It was better to leave this kind of place of right and wrong quickly, so Matt and Eric set up Neo on the left and right, and Winnie on the other.
Nize carefully carried the baggage containing the thinking crystal and energy core, and explored the way ahead.
Not long after the four people left, a gust of wind blew by, and a young woman with a pale face, her dress flying, landed at the place where Neo had stayed.
Taking cat steps, she walked calmly to the side of the Evil Fire Puppet. She inspected it carefully, and with a light movement, she came to the ice and stretched out her hand, which was glowing with black light and whose nails grew rapidly and became sharp.
With a gentle thrust, ice chips flew and the ice was broken.
Taking out a piece of blood-streaked ice, the woman took a few bites and ate it. At the same time, like a nimble fairy, she briefly swam around the place where Neo and the Evil Fire Puppet had fought, then jumped into the air, her body
With a twist, the dress turned into a wing membrane, and then flew into the night in the form of a big bat.
Neo opened his eyes again and found himself in a small basement room with mottled exposed brick walls, dilapidated and crude wooden shelves, dust-covered debris piled messily on the shelves, and the only bright spot on the floor, maybe
There is actually a small fireplace in this basement, and now there is not only a fire in the fireplace, but also a small kettle that is already steaming.
Suffering from a splitting headache, the wound on his leg also sent out bursts of stinging pain, but his consciousness became much clearer. Neo sat up and found that he was sleeping on a makeshift couch made of several wooden boards, with a thick woolen blanket draped over him.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Neo's sudden words made Eric tremble in fright, and the wooden jar he held in his hand almost knocked over, "You, why are you so silent..."
Neo lifted the blanket and found that his lower body was also completely naked before fighting the evil fire puppet. His clothes were soaked in the Sun Fountain and Moon River. Apparently, Matt and the others helped to take off the wet clothes when he was unconscious.
There are two dusters next to the fireplace
"It's already past 1 o'clock in the morning," Eric said somewhat submissively.
Neo looked at the injury on his leg. It had been re-bandaged. It was very rough, but it used medical gauze and also applied medicine.
Untying and re-bandaging, "Where are Vinnie and Matt?" Neo asked.
"Winnie said to go get some food and come back. You need to eat. We are all hungry too." Eric finally became less nervous.
Neo sniffed, "They've been there for more than 20 minutes?"
"Hmm... almost" Eric calculated and replied, then added: "How did you know? Oh, by the way, it's the nose, the breath!"
Neo smiled slightly, "You are very smart"
Using some physical and mental energy, Neo awakened the power of the "Wolf Bloodline" and performed a moderate healing treatment on the wound. His ability was obviously better than that of other people of the same race. It already had some characteristics of active skills. This
Related to family heritage and bloodline
The clothes were almost dry. As he was getting dressed, Neo asked: "Where is this?"
"The Morris family's basement," Eric answered smoothly. Perhaps he thought that Neo didn't know anything about Alice and Morris, so he added: "Third Street, in the middle of the West End."
Putting on his pants, Neo used the leggings on the injured area this time to prevent the wound from bursting as much as possible.
"Who helped open the shackles on my wrists?" Neo had already fastened the greaves and put on the arm armor and gauntlets.
"Hey, I..." Eric scratched his hair in embarrassment, "I am a locksmith apprentice."
"That kind of lock is not easy to open. When the small vibrating spring inside is turned, the force needs to be steady, even, and accurate." Neo continued to chat.
When it came to expertise, Eric's eyes lit up, "You too?" He shrugged again, "How is that possible?"
"I'm a blacksmith. I'm good at fine manufacturing. We should have a lot in common. By the way, what I want to say is that with your characteristics, the militia dagger is not suitable for you. If you want to fight, you should take the path of a rapier.
Pick, prick, rub, and peel with a little hard work, and you will see obvious results.”
"Really?" Eric's eyes lit up again when he heard this. He is thin and weak. He is usually the weakest person in a three-person team. His performance in militia training is also the worst. Coupled with his personality, he has always lacked self-confidence. Now,
Hearing what Neo said, I naturally felt excited
Neo smiled slightly again and patted Eric's thin shoulder encouragingly, "Just like you are good at picking locks, work hard and use your talents. You can do it."
Winnie and the three of them helped Neo, and Neo was willing to reciprocate the favor. Compared with a word of thanks, what he gave back to Eric was the self-confidence he lacked the most.
"It's been a long time. I'm going to pick up Winnie and Matt. Do you want to come with us?"
"Okay!" Eric agreed happily. Eric was not a very impulsive person, but what Neo said sounded very reliable, "Maybe Neo can give me some advice when he has time, and he can really find a suitable one for himself."
The road may be uncertain." A little glimmer of hope made Eric look forward to the future.
