Vol 4 Chapter 36: transaction

Stepping out of the palace, Chaclay circled the street a few times, and then made a sigh of relief after making sure no one was behind him.
When Buckler told him that he had been exposed, although Chakla was startled, he quickly stabilized his emotions. He knew that Raschel, the old fox, was not easy to fool. The old hound had a pair of keen eyes and could always find all possible doubts from clues. From the moment he decided to go to Xiuyi, he knew that his good life in the Empire was about to end.
Fortunately, over the years, he has also accumulated a lot of money, and during the time of his return, he has not prepared for running.
One must be prepared for failure. This is the greatest lesson that Chakrai has experienced since Purgatory Island.
Chaclay hurriedly walked to the suburbs, where he had a house with all his property in recent years.
After walking a short distance, he came to a crossroad called Lemon Street, and Zachary suddenly felt a little wrong.
This is an important traffic route in Warrington. Even at night, there should be no shortage of carriages and pedestrians.
But now, he doesn't see a figure here.
The surroundings were quiet and suffocating.
Nights in Warrington should not be so quiet.
Zacley looked around nervously.
As a land warrior, Chaclay was alert enough.
He sensed sensitively that he seemed to have entered a trap, a trap full of death and danger.
Putting his hands on the hilt, Zacley shouted to the empty surroundings: "Who? Come out?"
Someone, come out ... This sentence fluttered to the Quartet.
Then there was a deep sigh.
The sigh sounded as if it were in Chakrai's ears, and struck Chakrai's heart heavily.
Not far away, a hazy figure gradually emerged, as if an existence was created on the empty ground.
Under the moonlight, a silver moon armor is gentle with water.
Moonlight God of War, Alexander Hampton.
"Han ... Master Hampton ..." Chaclay's teeth trembled.
No one can beat Alexander Hampton at night unless it is a sanctuary.
This is a fact recognized by everyone.
Someone once said that Alexander Hampton had the blood of a werewolf, and on a full moon night, the power would skyrocket. Chaclay did not know if it was true, but he knew that Alexander Hampton was never wild in the battle.
He always seems to be so soothing and soft, even his sword is full of softness.
But his tenderness is the tenderness of death, and his softness is a cobweb-like fineness.
When he met him, it was as if a flying bug had hit a cobweb, and no one could escape.
Looking at Chaclay from a distance, Alexander Hampton's eyes were full of sympathy: "Chaclay, you had a great future. Unfortunately, you have ruined yourself."
"Master Hampton, I don't understand what you mean."
"Oh? If you don't understand, why did you leave the Royal Garden in a hurry? The ball is not over yet."
"I'm not interested in the ball, I just want to go home early and rest."
"Is that so? Maybe Huigler told you to run away?"
"Master Hampton!" Zachary screamed sharply, "You are a slander! Even if you are a samurai, you can't slander me like this."
"Chackle, don't need to repudiate it anymore, we know everything." Chachel, behind Rachel, came out leisurely.
Behind him was also followed by Padgett, Blast Alilon, and others.
Some of the samurai transferred by the General Administration of Law appeared all around, and the entire Lemon Street had been completely blocked by others and arranged into a network of heaven and earth.
Chaclay's heart sank in despair.
But he still sneered, "Raschel, I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Then ... you will understand, after I catch Xiu'aier." Raschel said with a shrug. "Before that, you better not go anywhere."
The black samurai's epee was on Keith's neck. As long as he advanced one more point, the opponent would have a different place.
Keith's eyes were red, but he was not afraid of his life.
He stared at Xiu Yi: "Let your black warrior drop the sword, and I want to talk to you."
"I prefer the negotiation in this case." Xiu Yi coldly.
"I can swear in the name of the ancient demon. Maybe I am not your opponent to the black warrior, but if I go, you ca n’t keep it. I have no malicious intentions against you now, I just want to talk to you. Since Count Weston has failed, there is no need to question me any more. I am no longer a threat to you. "
"For the Ring of Devourers?"
"Yes," Keith replied with certainty.
Xiu Yi thought about it and nodded to the black warrior.
The black warrior put his sword away, and Keith did not take the opportunity to attack.
"Tell me where you are," Xiuyi said.
"You probably don't have to be so direct, even if you don't ask, I will say it."
Keith placed the doomsday gun in his hand on the nightmare horse, and saw a cloud of black mist rise, the nightmare horse and the doomsday gun disappeared at the same time. The Scourge Church stretches across the southern continent, and it really has some special means. No wonder he didn't have a horse just now, but he was able to summon the Nightmare Horse suddenly. He actually possessed a special ability that could summon Warcraft. Xiu suspected that most of the holy knights and destruction knights had the ability to enable them to start fighting at any time.
To Xiuyi's surprise, Keith even took off his helmet.
It was a handsome young man.
"Come with me," he said.
Be the first to walk into the alchemy laboratory in Weston.
In the laboratory, Keith opened a bottle of red wine for Xiuyi: "You are an alchemist, you can see if the wine is poisonous."
"It's not necessary." Xiu Yi took the wine glass. "I didn't come here to drink, and I don't think there is anything that can make us happy."
"Already, you have a ring of biting. That means we will no longer be enemies."
"What kind of logic is this?" Xiuyi felt a little funny.
"Of course it matters, but before I tell you, I have to explain to you our teachings."
The sound of killing outside was gradually fading, and it seemed that Blazing Bird and Blue had solved all the guards.
Asahi has also returned, transformed from a second form into a little boy, and flung it into Xiuyi's arms.
Now that he had returned, the count of Weston apparently ceased to exist.
Keith's eyes flashed with surprise: "If I'm not mistaken, it looks like a dragon? It's amazing, Hugh Igle, your strength is far beyond my imagination."
"It's rare that you can recognize it."
"The Scourge Church understands the abyss far beyond your imagination. There are only a few that have many forms of abilities in childhood, and the only image that matches your magic pet's image is the magic dragon."
"He is not my magic pet, it is my child."
"It doesn't matter, then I will explain to you our teachings first. This will allow us to learn more about us and reduce unnecessary misunderstandings. First of all, I must tell you that the Scourge Church is not as evil as the legend says. "
"There is no need to explain, I know more about the Scourge Church than you think. I know what you are. Let's just talk about the subject. Is your idea of ​​fighting the ring of spirits? I guess you want to start with me Is there a ring of soul-eaters against the Church of the Holy Spirit? "
Keith was confused.
In the northern continent, the Holy Spirit Church has spared no effort to strike against any other church, proclaiming them to be heresy and distorting each other's teachings.
In the propaganda of the Church of the Holy Spirit, the Scourge Church is an existence that only understands killing and destruction. They walk for plagues, kill civilians, and create panic ...
But even before he knew Tina, Hugh Glair had been wondering. If the Scourge Church really existed like this, would n’t the congregations in the southern continent be fools and lunatics? Worship killing and death? Let the church they join create a terrifying atmosphere and turn the entire continent into a hell?
This is ridiculous.
Therefore, Xiu Yi himself is very skeptical of the accusations in this regard. On the other hand, the names of natural disasters, doomsday, darkness, and destruction really sound creepy. The Scourge Church may not exist as accused by the Church of the Holy Spirit, but it is not a friendly existence.
It wasn't until later meeting Tina that Xiu learned something about the Scourge Church.
First of all, the Scourge Church did not spread the plague everywhere as the Holy Spirit Church proclaimed, worshipping the existence of killing everywhere. In fact, the Scourge Church is a very responsible church. Like the Holy Spirit Church, they have churches, pray, and even promote friendship, equality, and kindness.
The biggest difference between the Scourge Church and the Holy Spirit Church is that they believe in the end of the world.
They believe that one day in the future, the world will encounter another world, which is the legendary invasion of the demon world.
The entry of the two demonic creatures brought by the two cracks in space and time is the best proof.
The Scourge Church was founded with the mission of saving the last days. They worship strength, abide by the canons, develop believers, and actively prepare for the war against the last days.
Among all magic systems, dark destruction spells are among the most powerful offensive. According to the teachings of the Scourge Church, every creature from the demon world is extremely powerful, and ordinary spells are difficult to hurt them. Therefore, the Scourge Church chose to study the most powerful spells to prepare for confrontation.
This is totally contrary to the purpose of the Church of the Holy Spirit.
Religion is exclusive.
Not to mention that they preach the end of the world, and practicing dark spells, their existence alone has made it difficult for the Church of the Holy Spirit to accept, let alone confront the Church of the Holy Spirit everywhere.
The Holy Spirit Church believes that God blesses the world, the Scourge Church declares that the end is coming, and the world should save itself. In other words, the God of the Holy Spirit Church is a scum, meaningless to humans. How can the Holy Spirit Church endure?
Therefore, in their propaganda, the Scourge Church is the incarnation of evil.
Of course, the Scourge Church itself is indeed a radical sect. After practicing dark spells, many people will change their minds and become addictive and cruel, which has led to countless scoldings. However, these are only a few, after all, the true Scourge Church was established with the purpose of fighting the Scourge to save the last days.
Otherwise, if the purpose is to create natural disasters, who will join? How can it grow?
Therefore, every member of the Scourge Church is also used to explaining the teachings of his church when he is developing his church members.
But for Xiuyi, this step can be saved.
Facing the surprise of Keith at this moment, Xiu Yi said: "I have a subordinate who was a dark mage of the Scourge Church. I saved her and she serves me now. So I have no prejudice against the Scourge Church, I only Wondering why you are here, and why you are interested in the Spirit Ring. Is this your mission to the north continent? "
"That's the way it is." Keith nodded. "But you misunderstood. My task is to find the figure of the setting sun maiden. The ring of biting is an additional discovery."
It's the sunset maiden again, what's the secret in this picture? Xiu Yi is a little strange.
"Did you find it?"
"That won't be easy." Keith sighed.
Xiu glanced at Count Weston on the ground: "What about him? A man from the Scourge Church?"
"Semi-cooperative relationship, he has a good alchemy and can help me a lot. It can cover up my identity and have enough money and staff to help me find the whereabouts of the sunset maiden. Of course, in exchange, I give him the darkness Book, keep him safe. "
"Book of Darkness?" Xiu Yileng said: "One of the four magic tools of chaos?"
He somewhat understood why Keith was so interested in Ring of Devourers.
Keith nodded: "The Book of Darkness is the Sacred Relic of the Scourge Church. Of course, I gave him an imitation. It does not have any power itself, but it only records some special dark spells."
The Chaos Four Magic Tools, the Dark Blade, the Book of Darkness, the Ring of Spirit Eaters, and the Doomsday Dragon Lance are just as important as the Orderly Four Artifacts in the Scourge Church.
However, the Scourge Church is not as old as the Holy Spirit Church. They only have a book of darkness and a doomsday lance as the church's relics. Among them, the book of darkness was only obtained through the efforts of countless churches decades ago.
The Dark Book contains some powerful dark spells. The greatest power of this magic weapon is that the person holding it can use the power of the Dark Book to automatically release powerful advanced spells without the need of the caster's own power. The book itself is equivalent to the existence of a seventh-level dark mage.
Corresponding to it is the sacred book in the Church of the Holy Spirit, which is also used in the same way.
For the church, having more holy things means greater strength. The Church of the Holy Spirit is the most prosperous of the three churches. It has three of the four artifacts of the Light, the Scourge Church has only two, and the Temple of Odin has only two.
Of course, no one knows that the Holy Spirit Church has long lost the glorious sword in the three artifacts.
In fact, the so-called artifact, magic weapon, no matter how powerful it is, it is just a good weapon or prop. Personal power, after all, can't be upset in this world. Whether it is the sword of glory or the book of darkness, even if it falls into one's hands, it is only the pinnacle of personal strength. But the world population is billions, how many people can you kill?
It's just that the symbolic significance of these artifacts and magical tools is extraordinary. It has demonstrated the strength of the church and attracted countless people to worship and admire them. The huge appeal it has, in fact, is far stronger than their own fighting power.
So when Keith saw the Ring of Devourers, he seemed so excited.
Xiu Yi also immediately guessed the other party's intention. There is no picture of the sunset maiden, and it is also a good thing to be able to return to the Ring of Spirit Eaters. That's why he asked for negotiations.
At this moment when Xiu Yi said this, Keith could only chuckled: "Speaking of which, the Scourge Church has always used the four magic tools of chaos as sacred objects. Even if you have a glorious sword for us, it will not eat us The significance of the Ring of Spirits is significant. "
He just said this casually, but did not expect Xiuyi to have it.
"Then you should start snatching."
"I want to." Keith did not hide his thoughts: "But one, I can't beat your black warrior. Second, the Scourge Church is committed to saving the end, and does not worship looting. The knights respect the creed, we are fearless Death, dare to kill, but disdain to plunder. "
Xiu thinks that only the first one can be believed, and the second one is that Keith himself puts gold on his face. But there are so many different things, and he can't be sure if Keith is really acting in full doctrine as he said, especially if the doctrine can be explained at will. For example, you and I have vengeance. If I kill you and get your legacy, then it's not called robbery, it's just an incident to get loot. Although the Scourge Church has a mission to save the last days, its methods are radical and it also advocates sacrificing the ego to fulfill the great self. Therefore, we must not believe the words of our opponents.
So he said lightly, "I won't give you the Ring of Devourers. This matter hasn't been discussed."
Keith was busy: "Shuegler, if you are willing to give the Soul Eater to the Scourge Church, then you will have our friendship!"
With a flutter, Xiuyi laughed: "The friendship of the Scourge Church? It's a pity that you seem to have forgotten that this is the northern continent. Having the friendship of the Scourge Church here only means endless trouble."
When Keith stagnates, Xiu Yi said: "Don't say that this is the northern continent, even if this is the southern continent? Do you think I am a troublemaker? I don't think you can ... The idea of ​​killing the Ring of Spirits, I have to think more about how I can guarantee that I will not kill people. Although I am not afraid of trouble, I will not proactively increase trouble for myself. Speaking of which, your nightmare horse and doomsday gun I still want to. "
Keith realized that his troubles hadn't been solved yet, how could he think of the idea of ​​killing the ring of spirits.
It's just that the Ring of Spirit Eaters is too significant for the Scourge Church. A maze of soul can only kill a person and be placed in the Scourge Church, but it can attract countless worshippers and congregations. He is deeply saddened by the practice of repairing the gravel and gold, which is unbearable. Ignore it.
"We can have a good talk, repair Iglell. The Scourge Church is the most powerful church in the entire South Continent, with countless human and material resources. As long as you are willing to give me the Ring of Devourers, I can ask the Scourge Church Destroy the knights and help you destroy the Lance Empire. "
"Are you stupid or me stupid? The Scourge Church came to help me eliminate Lance? Are you a member of the Holy Spirit church? Besides, is it worth fighting a heavy loss war to mobilize the people to work for the Spirit Ring?" Xiu Yi sneered.
Keith was speechless again, and the Church of Scourge was trying to eat the Ring of Spirits, but couldn't come up with an exchangeable chip, which really caused him a headache.
Looking at Keith's headache and speechlessness, Xiu Yi laughed softly: "Actually, it may not be possible without cooperation."
When Xiu said this, Keith's eyes lit up suddenly: "What do you want?"
Xiu Yi slowly said: "First of all, the influence and appeal of the chaos four magic tools required by the Scourge Church are not too interested in the killing ability of the Ring of Devourers, and what I need is this magic tool. The power of this. You see, as far as this magic weapon is concerned, we need two kinds of values ​​separately, so why ca n’t we separate the values? "
Keith immediately understood: "You mean ..."
"Yes. You can preach that you have found the Ring of Devourers, and I will not object and deny it. Do n’t you have the ability to make imitations? I just have the originals here, so I can imitate some of them and go back. .As a cost, I need your kind of alchemy that can imitate artifacts. "
Imitation artifacts are by no means the same in appearance, they also need to be able to exert a certain power of real artifacts.
For example, Keith's Doomsday Dragon Gun is copied on the genuine Doomsday Dragon Gun. Although it does not have the ability to change into Doomsday Demon Dragon, it has at least part of the power to destroy the Demon Dragon.
Xiuyi didn't know how the Scourge Church could imitate the doomsday dragon gun with the power of destruction, but he was almost certain that at least two basic conditions were needed to make an imitation with a certain artifact power: one, Artifact itself. Second, alchemy.
Xiu's favorite was alchemy, and the Scourge Church needed artifacts.
Combining the two, Xiu Yi quickly came up with a solution. It was the Scourge Church that taught him this alchemy, which mimicked some artifacts, and he could help the Scourge Church to make a fake ringworm. According to Xiu Yi's estimation, the imitation of the Ring of Devourers can at most have the effect of increasing the power of soul spells. As for the soul maze and guardian nightmare, don't think about it. But this kind of counterfeit can bring huge prestige to the Scourge Church and make people believe that the Scourge Church has a third magic weapon. After all, there is no original product, and no fake product can be produced. Xiu Yi can use reverse inference to guide people's thinking and make people believe that the Scourge Church has a ring of spirits.
In addition, one of the biggest benefits of doing this is that the Scourge Church has in fact already had the handle in Xiuyi's hands.
From then on, the Scourge Church only treated Xiuyi with hospitality and no intention of malicious invasion.
Keith's brain was not as fast as Xiu Yi's. He hesitated to exchange alchemy for artifact replicas. Xiu is right, what the church needs is not the use value of the artifact itself, but the meaning behind it. Once the world knows, the Scourge Church has three of the four magic tools of chaos, and it has never been weaker than the Church of the Holy Spirit.
This is obviously very important.
However, this alchemy of imitation of artifacts has also been studied by the church for hundreds of years. Even the Holy Spirit Church does not have such ability.
Is it worthwhile to exchange with the opponent with this alchemy? Not even Keith was sure.
Perhaps after seeing Keith's hesitation, Xiu Yi said lightly: "This is an equivalent exchange sale. If you are willing to transcribe to me all the dark spells in the book of darkness, I can take it out again There's nothing less than a ring of bite swapping. "
"What did you say?" Keith looked at Xiu in shock.
"Yes, nothing less than the value of the Ring of Devourers. And my condition is all the advanced spells of the Book of Darkness. I know this condition is not too difficult for you. You have not given it back. Is that Lord's Dark Book? "
"He only learns low-level spells."
"He can give you far less than I can give."
"You ... what else is there?" Keith looked at Xiu and said word by word.
"Dark Blade." Xiu answered with a smile. !! ~!
