Vol 50 Chapter 44: : confrontation

The strength of the title of war lord is still amazing, but judging from the situation in the world of eternal light, this title alone may not be able to deal with the world, and it is necessary to develop the zerg to the extreme.
There is no rush to deal with the world for the time being. The top priority at this time is to allow the talent task to continue to be completed. Su Xiao checked the team channel and saw Caesar's news in it.
"My dear friend, I didn't keep you waiting."
Caesar's voice suddenly came from the next seat, Su Xiao almost drew his sword, the other party's appearance was too sudden, so far, he has not figured out, what is the principle of Caesar's sudden appearance, it should not be a space-like ability, Otherwise, it is impossible to have no fluctuations in transmission 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 Underworld Blood Altar, but the material and size were different. The blood-patterned disc on the Blood Altar was Rocky, this blood-patterned disc is black metal.
It is not an easy thing to make the Scarlet Monarch one of the new four giants. Any mistakes in any link will lead to the failure of this plan.
With this thing, Su Xiao and his party walked out of the conference hall and followed a downward staircase to the underground of the Supreme Temple.
This place was originally full of life force intake runes, which were used to slowly capture the original life force of the living beings in the middle and lower cities. Those residents of Sanctuary City who chose to be loyal to the Temple of Wuguang thought they were out of the bait. In fact, the Big Four didn't care about them at all. , and treat them as life force bait, slowly taking away their original life force.
At this time, the appearance of this underground space has changed greatly. With the assistance of several disciples of the machine maker, the appearance of this place is almost the same as the blood altar in the underground world.
A member of the Wuguang Temple has changed into the clothes of the scarlet camp and is 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, Boubo Wang, Amu, and Baha entered the secret room together, who knew that the dark eaters also came in.
"Tell me, what are you asking me this time?"
The Dark Eater clasped his shoulders with his hands. After a few days, its aura was actually stronger than before. It seems that this elemental outbreak has weakened many monsters in this world, and the Dark Eater took the opportunity to devour a lot of source power.
Su Xiao was a little surprised when he saw the Dark Eater walk into the secret room, because this time he entrusted the other party with three bottles of [Dark Elixir] to make this monarch sacrifice more realistic.
"there."
Su Xiao pointed to the high altar in the distance, and the Dark Eater looked in the direction pointed, and in the next second, it was black in front of him.
When the Dark Eater woke up, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, and the surgical shackles on his arms temporarily suppressed all its abilities. Not only that, but it also found that scarlet was scattered around, and it was on an altar. At the edge of the high platform, he was locked in a large iron cage.
With a bang, a red-eyed knight smashed the lock of the iron cage with a warhammer. Before the Dark Eater could react, two red-eyed knights had already pulled it out of the iron cage. To the guillotine in the center of the altar.
The Dark Eater looked around. Inside the altar was a rock disk with a metal disk inlaid in the center, and an old man dressed in scarlet robes and dressed as a high priest was standing under the blood-patterned disk.
This scene made the Dark Eater immediately recall the previous experience of being caught in the underground world. It looked at the guillotine and saw a deformed monster that was bound to the guillotine, and then the blade above fell.
The deformed monster's head was chopped off in response, and the blood that emerged from the broken neck dripped down the groove on the guillotine, spreading from the rock pattern on the ground to the blood-patterned disc behind.
Seeing this scene, the Dark Eater's angry gaze suddenly became clear, and before it could open its mouth, a scarlet light was emitted from the blood-patterned disc, and the source blood of the deformed demon was completely absorbed.
After Su Xiao in the secret room saw this scene, he knew that the matter had been successful. The current scene was achieved by Caesar disguised as the high priest of the scarlet camp, and with Wood's camouflage ability.
This level of disguised sacrifice is naturally unlikely to deceive the Scarlet Monarch. After all, the scarlet camp is the force he created, but the goal of this disguised sacrifice is not to point to the Scarlet Monarch, but to the Scarlet Scepter.
In fact, when he was in the underground world before, the sacrifice of the scarlet camp was to temporarily appease the big father 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" into the belly of the Astral Devourer. As soon as the Astral Devourer spit it out, the "Scarlet Scepter" disappeared without a trace. disappeared.
Based on Su Xiao's knowledge and experience of the original sin, the "Scarlet Scepter" is by no means the original sin that can move its position on its own. Only the "Necronomicon" and "Ancient Mask" have this characteristic.
To be more precise, the "Necronomicon" will not move without its owner. In this way, only the "Ancient Mask" that runs away from home is the quasi-original sin. thing.
The "Scarlet Scepter" suddenly disappeared without moving its position on its own. There were 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 helpless choice. Compared with being sealed by Su Xiao, through the causal connection with the holder, it can enter the seal where the holder is. , it is a better choice for "Scarlet Scepter".
That is to say, the Scarlet Monarch is now holding the "Scarlet Scepter", which means that the Scarlet Monarch may break through the seal faster.
In contrast, at this time, if you sacrificed blood to the "Scarlet Scepter", to a certain extent, it was also equivalent to sacrifice to the Scarlet Monarch, and the people who sacrificed were a group of people dressed in the scarlet camp. A member of the Temple of Light.
Under the auspices of Caesar, all this was accomplished smoothly, and in the judgment of the Void Tree, the matter would not be so complicated, it can be summed up in one sentence, for, the Scarlet Monarch accepted the sacrifice of the Temple of Light.
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 placed there instead.
Almost at the same time, in the secret room of the underground space, Su Xiao received a prompt.
[Hint: Due to the change in the faction of the Temple of Light, your talent quest will also be changed. The Temple of Light and the Four Giants will be changed to:]
[Scarlet Monarch, Archbishop of Abyss, Astral Devourer (killed), Ancestor (killed). 】
[It has been checked that the Scarlet Monarch's combat power is far 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 is extremely difficult, but if you want to increase the difficulty of the task, the process is much simpler.
Su Xiao walked out of the secret room. All kinds of camouflages in the underground space began to recover gradually due to Wood's withdrawal of power. Su Xiao came to the high rock platform and took off the metal disc inlaid on the blood-patterned disc.
At this moment, the dark eater with eyes full of anger came over, only to see the dark eater's mouth full of shark teeth gnashing, and asked angrily: "You... next time this happens, talk to me in advance. Say it."
The dark eater's voice quickly dropped, and his anger disappeared. The reason for this was because of the wooden box that Su Xiao handed out, and the ten bottles of [Dark Elixir] neatly stacked inside after opening the wooden box.
Su Xiao walked down the stairs to the first floor of the Supreme Temple, and out of this magnificent building, he reached the middle level of Sanctuary City through the elevator, then went down to the lower city, and went deep into the dark street.
Going around and arriving in an alley, Su Xiao stopped in front of a small building. The one who lives here is Yusha who has met several times before. He guesses that the scarlet seed is nine times out of ten in Yusha. body, and what is the relationship between Yusha and female swordsman Rosna, it is not known for the time being.
dong dong dong~
Su Xiao knocked on the door, but after a while, no one responded, but in 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, motioned for Eminem to kick the door, then took out a cigarette and lit it. As he exhaled the blue smoke, the smoke of the blue glow spread out to the surroundings, mixed with the smoke of a small amount of green steel shadow energy. Can stay in the surrounding area for half an hour, as long as someone touches it, no matter what means the other party hides, it will be discovered by Su Xiao.
Stepping on the debris after the broken wooden door, Su Xiao walked into the small building. There were originally many children, teenagers, and girls here, but for some reason, he came here twice, and he felt that these children and teenagers were a little out of harmony. However, this level of strangeness is not worth 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 shadow thread as the excitation device of Apollo. Therefore, in the face of such methods, naturally Can see through.
Su Xiao raised his right forearm, Baja landed on it, and activated the space ability, which allowed Su Xiao to use his index and middle fingers to clip an explosive bolt from the space. After releasing the excitation device, he observed the explosive bolt for a moment. , in general not bad.
Pushing open the door of the bedroom, Su Xiao walked in and saw a puppet lying on the bed with a quilt covering his body. This puppet was made lifelike, with blood marks on his arms, which were slowly drifting away. Blood gas.
The production level of this puppet is much more sophisticated than that of the explosion bolt just now. Even if I perceive it at such a close distance, I still feel that this puppet has the same breath as Yusha.
"Losna."
After Su Xiao asked Eminem to bring the puppet, he turned around and walked out of the small building and walked deeper into the dark street. A famous professional was also here, so he could just ask the other party about the origin of the puppet.
Jingle ~
Su Xiao pushed open the door of a tavern, which was very lively, but what made people puzzling was that the drinkers here were all from different forces, including three boss-level scarlet spell leaders of the scarlet camp, and two boss-level scarlet The great knight, three red-robed priests from the Temple of No Light, five armored bodyguards from the Dark Iron City, and a one-eyed troll clan, and finally a one-armed violator with an amazing breath and closed eyes.
These people all have a characteristic. Although they all have a natural demeanor, there are more or less doll-like stitching marks on their hands, faces, or necks.
Su Xiao came here to meet No. 2 of the Phantom Troupe, the puppeteer.
The puppeteer is still wearing a fox mask and a loose black robe. Although the black robe has a single color, it has a solid color and gorgeousness. The fox mask is made of metal. There is a number "2" on the forehead and a small one at the bottom. Ornament, it is a small doll wearing a Gothic dress.
The puppeteer was sitting at the bar with a half glass of wine in front of her. She used to touch the little doll hanging under the mask with her fingers, and the little doll swayed from side to side.
"Tell me, what are you doing to me, except to deal with your nightmare incarnation, everything else is fine."
Hearing this, Baja, who fell on Su Xiao's shoulder, asked: "Puppet controller, how do you know that it is the incarnation of my boss's nightmare?"
"I really can't think of anyone with such strong blood energy. The first time I saw the incarnation of the nightmare, the first thought was that the incarnation of the nightmare of Bai Ye escaped from the nightmare."
Baja was speechless at this, and he grabbed a glass of wine and gulped it down.
Su Xiao glanced at Eminem, no need to say more, Eminem threw the doll in his hand onto the bar, Eminem was indeed a little silly, but in terms of understanding what Su Xiao meant, Eminem was not at all. Not dull.
"Losna of Sanctuary City, I saw her a few days ago."
The puppet master recognized the origin of the puppet at a glance, she pointed her finger on the puppet, and continued: "This puppet is very precious, if it is not an emergency, Lusna will not give up this puppet, or she This puppet is used as a bait, after all, the righteous master represented by this puppet has been targeted by you."
After saying that, the puppet master touched the blood mark on the back of the puppet's hand with his fingertips.
"Can you trace the person represented by this doll?"
"Unlikely, this puppet has no outstanding characteristics except for its precision in breath. It is more like a doll for the dead. It has fulfilled its purpose and was abandoned."
Hearing this, Su Xiao knew what was going on. Although he didn't know the relationship between Lusna and Yusha, Lusna had been protecting Yusha a long time ago, or maybe secretly, and made it for the other party in advance. For the dead doll.
The Scarlet Seed is in Yusha's body. Only by awakening the Scarlet Seed in her body through [Scarlet Awakening Stone], can Yusha open the second seal that seals the Scarlet Monarch.
There are two possibilities. One is that after awakening the Scarlet Seed, Yusha will have to pay a huge price, and the other is that Lusna believes that the current spell-killing camp cannot defeat the Scarlet Monarch, even if the world is opening the "Super World Level Ban". technique", it doesn't work either.
Once the seal of the Scarlet Monarch is opened and the opponent cannot be killed, then the Scarlet Monarch will first look for the shadow of the annihilation. Just don't agree to open the seal now.
However, Lusna didn't know that even if the seal in the depths of the Sea of ​​Sand was not opened, the Scarlet Monarch would not be trapped in that place for a long time. As for explaining this to the other party, without clear evidence, the other party would not Believe it, so you don't need to waste your words.
After roughly figuring this out, Su Xiao is not going to go to Yusha anymore. Now Lusna has taken Yusha. Under the protection of the other party, Yusha is very safe. It will not be too late to find the other party later.
"I have to deal with Nightmare Blood Shadow tomorrow, are you interested in participating?"
"In terms of the risk level of this matter, I'm not very interested."
"After this is done, I will pay you the output of the black maple tree."
"This~"
The puppeteer hesitated. Seeing this, Su Xiao dipped some wine on the tip of his index finger and wrote a 3 on the bar, which was not a low price.
"Three ounces of black maple yields, actually..."
The puppeteer was even more hesitant. 3 ounces is 85 grams, or 0.17 pounds of black maple, which is already a lot.
"I'm talking about 3kg."
"?"
Fu Fu hit the puppet master's heart with one blow. After being silent for a few seconds, she habitually touched the little doll hanging under the mask, and then said, "I will bring more dolls tomorrow."
When Su Xiao walked out of the tavern, there was already a little puppet in his hand. Although it was not the one hanging under the mask of the puppet master, as long as the puppet was crushed, the puppet master promised that he would be there within an hour. arrive.
When he came to the uninhabited place on the dark street, Su Xiao set up the teleportation array, and looked at Boubowang, Eminem, and Baja. Eminem was the first to persuade and slowly stood on the teleportation array, followed by Baja. , Boubo Wang persisted for more than ten seconds, and finally stood on the teleportation array.
With a bang, the teleportation array was activated, and when the surrounding space fog disappeared, Su Xiao had returned to the factory in the Black Iron City.
Sitting at the round table, Su Xiao took out a contract. This is a contract prepared for the priest. It does not need to be signed directly by the other party. As long as it is touched, there is an 80% chance of triggering the contract.
As for why the priest is calculated at this time, it also involves the abyss archbishop escaping from this world.
The previous plan of the Archbishop of the Abyss seemed to be a three-man game between Su Xiao, the Lord of Eternal Darkness, and the Archbishop of the Abyss, but it was not.
The first point is that when we met in the study room of the Scarlet Temple last time, the priest speculated that Su Xiao's task was to deal with the four giants of the Temple of No Light, and he only needed to kill three of them to complete the talent task.
Under the premise of mastering this important information, the priest will definitely turn it into an advantage and turn passive into active.
The reason for the cooperation between the priest and Su Xiao is to open the seal of the Scarlet Monarch through Su Xiao, so as to achieve the contract he signed with the Scarlet camp, so as to obtain a secret method that can increase the degree of compatibility with the original sin.
On the bright side, whether Su Xiao opens the seal to deal with the Scarlet Lord depends entirely on how Su Xiao makes decisions, so the priest is very passive. The priest does know that the seal that traps the Scarlet Lord will not last for long, but the specific seal The priest did not have an accurate judgment on how long it could last. After all, it was the seal set up by the Fa-destroying camp.
Under these circumstances, the priest's situation is very passive. Once Su Xiao chooses to ignore the cooperation commitment and does not open the seal in the depths of the sea of ​​sand, the priest's plan will fail.
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 opportunities in the Temple of Light and the Big Four.
It seems that the Archbishop of Abyss backstabbed the Lord of Eternal Darkness, but the ingenuity of the Lord of Eternal Darkness is only under the priest and the Archbishop of Abyss. There is no power left.
The reason for this 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. The head priest of the temple, Ozle, who is only inferior to the Big Four, is of course the confidant of the Lord of Eternal Darkness.
After the Lord of Eternal Darkness was backstabbed, there was no room for him to fight back, because not only was it calculated by the Archbishop of the Abyss, but also his most trusted subordinates eliminated all his room for counterattack.
Once the abyss archbishop killed the Lord of Eternal Darkness, and then the abyss archbishop escaped from this world, Su Xiao's talent task, there is a killing vacancy, and there is only one way to fill this vacancy, that is, through the priest and the Temple of No Light, Let a new Lightless Temple, the Big Four appear.
There is no need to think about who the new Wuguang Temple and the Big Four are. Under such circumstances, if you want the new Wuguang Temple and the Big Four to achieve the judgment of the talent task, its combat power must be stronger than the eternal darkness. Only the Lord, the Archbishop of the Abyss, the Ancestor, and the Astral Devourer~EbookFREE.me~ have the possibility of a successful operation.
Thinking of it this way, the new Temple of Light, the Big Four, can only be one person, and that is the Scarlet Monarch.
In this way, Su Xiao had the reason why he had to deal with the scarlet monarch, which made the passive priest become calm, and even the priest only needed to wait until Su Xiao opened the seal in the depths of the sea of ​​sand. , At that time, the priest's purpose will naturally be achieved.
Su Xiao is not worried about whether the priest will come here this time to meet Su Xiao. If the priest does not come, he will activate the title of [Old Hunter], and then rely on the existing tens of thousands of demon flame dragons to chase and kill them all the time. priest.
When Su Xiao saw the abyss archbishop disappearing into the space crack, he considered whether the priest conspired with the abyss archbishop to backstab the Lord of Eternal Darkness together. Now it seems that the priest must have participated in the abyss archbishop's plan.
While Su Xiao was thinking about this, the door of the inner hall was pushed open, and the priest came in and took a seat opposite the wooden round table.
Su Xiao and the priest looked at each other with smiles on their faces, but there was a contract hidden in one of the cuffs, and a curse that was judged by charm characteristics in the other's arms.
