Morning in the Tower of Swords

And behind the two "successful" Sarkaz-infected people enslaved by corruption and withering, how many failed experimental materials are there?If the two little squirrels were captured by the Wuzhou League at that time, I am afraid that such an ending would be unavoidable, right?

"You just said that the two of them are the strongest infected knights. Do you have more detailed information? How does it compare to you?"

Jogo thought for a while, then turned to ask Li.

"If the doctor wanted that kind of data file, he would definitely not be able to get it. As far as we know, only one of them uses a warhammer, and the other uses a bow and arrow, and their strength is incomparably incomparable with the addition of drugs. , although their intelligence seems to be impaired, the cooperation between the two of them is still tacit, probably because they are twin brothers."

"If it's just like this, it seems like it shouldn't be stronger than you. After all, you can even block my kind of fist, so what's the use of being strong?"

Jogo doesn't look down on pure power at all. After all, he has already had several characters whose power is almost invincible in Terra. Even the current Joe Taro, whose substitute "Platinum Star" can stand tall at the top of Terra.

"If this is a different kind of compliment from the doctor, of course I will accept it happily, but unfortunately, I really can't beat them. On the one hand, I am not good at attacking, the kind of people who put their skills on knives The method can only make the knife stronger, but it cannot make it sharper, and on the other hand..."

"You must know that they are recognized as the Sarkaz race with the highest adaptability of origin stones. If they only have pure power, they will not be favored by the Knights Association. Their skills will emit a strange mist, and once this mist If it is inhaled, or enters the human body through the broken skin, it will interfere with the energy transmission of the origin stone, and people will not be able to use their skills."

"I don't have a physical body that can't be damaged like the doctor did before. If I can't use my skills, I'm just an ordinary weak woman."

Jogo glanced strangely at Li, who suddenly came up to her with a smile on his face. Maybe he was always the one who took the initiative to criticize, but he didn't realize what she meant for a while.

"It's indeed a little troublesome, but it shouldn't worry me. As for your situation, don't worry, I just recently developed a new skill that is different from the origin stone skill, called domineering, in which the armed color domineering and domineering Your skills are particularly similar, as long as you master domineering in Rhodes Island, you will no longer be afraid of encountering such enemies that target the energy of the origin stone."

Li's smile immediately froze on his face, and it took a long time before he shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that the doctor is indeed a complicated and mysterious man. Even now, even at such a close distance, I still can't understand what doctor you are... I don't want to mention it. After all, it is me to protect the doctor. responsibility."

"...???"

Qiao Ge expressed his inexplicable face about this, and it seemed that he had a very limited understanding of the fact that his EQ fluctuated up and down.

When a woman complains to a man about the difficulties she has encountered, the first thing she wants is not for you to give her a solution, but to hear even one or two words that can make her feel relieved. It's even better with a touch of sweetness.

It may be that Qiao Ge is not used to this kind of sudden emotion that is similar to throwing a goodbye. Perhaps what he is better at is the kind that is stepped on by Kelsey...

Cough cough cough, don't get me wrong, the so-called "stepping on" is just a metaphor here. It refers to the contradictory relationship in which Kelsey and the doctor are both superiors and subordinates in the office workplace, but now she has to rely on the doctor. It's definitely not Kelsey taking off her high heels and stepping on her face and prprpr or something.

At least not now.

"Everything is planned as usual. I have almost finished talking with Water Drop Village. You and Maria continue to pay attention to the movement of bounty hunters and integration movements that may come here at any time. As for the Knights' Association, let Kingslayer bring her Someone come over and I can fix this right away."

Maybe it was because of his own strength, or maybe because he had received the leadership talent from the Penguin boss, Dr. Qiao was always so reassuring when he gave orders, Li just nodded at this, and silently accepted the order without raising any objections.

But a stunned young man like Maria doesn't seem to understand the real battle outside of competition. Although competition is also cruel, it is after all a show for people.

"Hey! Brother-in-law, why don't you let me play! I, I want to fight too!"

Jogo then put one hand on the top of Maria's head, with the love and helplessness in his eyes like treating an ignorant child.

"Maria, you will have many opportunities to fight in the future, but you must first understand that a rookie recruit like you can only survive better if he obeys orders. Even if you get a place in the arena, I It will not let a person who has not received formal operator training go to fight for Rhodes Island."

"If it's for me, it's even worse."

"Please tell me again! Mr. Kelby, why on earth did we come here?"

A Volper red fox woman with red wavy hair and a red tail suddenly rushed to the front of the "archaeological" team organized by the Knights Association, and stretched out her arms as if to stop her, holding a warhammer in her hand. The knight didn't hesitate at all, his instinctive reaction was to raise his hand, ready to smash her into a meat paste.

"Stop, Corruption, how many times have I told you? Didn't your superiors tell you two? Unless it's something I arranged, don't do anything unplanned, otherwise, even with your memory, you should Do you know what's going to happen?"

When Corruption heard this, the movement of his hand paused immediately, and then he put it down slowly. Except for the faint blue smart light emitted from the gap in the mask, which flickered on and off with the flow of fog around him, there was nothing left of him. any movement.

This behavior is like a tiger in a circus hearing the crack of a long whip from an animal trainer.

"Okay, Dr. Loren, the bad boy has settled down, so what did you want to say just now?"

The leader named Kelby folded his hands on a cane. He looked young but had an old-fashioned posture. Or it should be said that it was difficult for ordinary people to tell how old he was, because he was a very pure-blood Li Boli .

That is, a giant red-breasted merganser the size of a person.

The black and green cockscomb head looks like the hairstyle of a rock musician, and also looks like a chicken coop on top of a weird scientist's head, and the red eyes with extremely small pupils intensify this alternative sense of horror, making people involuntarily creepy.

However, this Dr. Red Fox was not stage fright at all, instead he asked more loudly.

"I'm asking, Mr. Kelby! Why on earth did we come here?"

"Isn't it stated in the contract? In order to find the ancient knight's tomb treasure, you are our important person, Dr. Loren, based on your understanding of Casimir's history and rich experience in archaeology, as long as the knight's treasure is indeed If it really exists, this errand is bound to be won."

Just short of a tall bowler hat and a monocle, Kelby is very much like the bossy capitalist in the comics. You can feel his lofty attitude in the details.

"But what I received should be a formal official employment, and this is a serious archaeological trip! To be accompanied by relevant government officials and knights of the National Council, why would you be a businessman and employee without professional qualities like you?" Soldiers? We are not here to rob graves!"

One can tell at a glance that Dr. Lauren is the kind of pedant who hides deep in the ivory tower, and doesn't understand the dangers in society at all. She probably thinks that as long as she grasps the truth, she has mastered the dominant power.

But in fact, the truth only exists objectively. As long as there is something powerful enough to cover it up, then it is "subjectively" equivalent to non-existence, and the Knights' Association, which is colluding with the Chamber of Commerce, at least faces her little one. Historians and archaeologists still have this ability.

"Hahaha, you are joking, Dr. Lauren, they are not mercenaries, but regular competitive knights belonging to the Knights Association. A famous academic like you will not be prejudiced against competitive knights, right? And I am An honest businessman directly appointed by the National Council, if you don’t believe me, my letter of appointment is here, and you can check it at any time.”

Using racism to deflect the focus of the topic is always very useful, even if the problem of these two Sarkaz knights is almost obvious to the whole body, it seems to be exuding evil, and it is only necessary to catch Batman on the spot and lift it over his head. It was a blow, but Dr. Loren finally resisted the desire to complain,

But even if it is not a person by appearance, Kelby's attitude towards this Sarkaz just now is clearly not a knight, but a slave without dignity.

"Dr. Loren, it seems that you usually only deal with the upper class. Do you take their high-sounding words of putting gold on your face seriously? Whether this knight's treasure is true has not yet been determined. Even if it is true, it is impossible to know its scale. Do you really think that the higher-ups will use official power because of such a trivial matter? Right now, the threat of Ursus is more imminent."

What Kelby got was indeed very reasonable, but in essence he was still arguing for the "grave robbery" behavior of the Knights Association, but maybe he really had the acquiescence of some official people, and the conditions should be very simple, the gold coins of the treasure Thirty-seven split accounts, and official cultural relics are collected in full.

"Yes, but..."

"Okay, nothing to worry about. Time is running out. The rumors of the knight's treasure have been spreading for so long. There should be a lot of wolves who smell blood near Shuidi Village. If Dr. Lauren is still here to entangle these details, by then At that time, we may only see an empty mausoleum completely destroyed."

No matter how superficial it is, it is estimated that Kelby is also tired of stubborn people like Lauren who pester him endlessly. Maybe he has already started to plan how to "settle" her after getting the knight's treasure.

It's just that now, it is necessary to borrow Lauren's professional knowledge.

"I used my network and paid a lot of money to hire these competitive knights. When Dr. Loren sees the greedy faces of those robbers and bounty hunters who are about to drool on people's faces, you will be glad With their protection, now, we continue our journey."

"……Humph!"

Although he was very unconvinced, Dr. Loren couldn't find any evidence to refute the other party for a while, so he could only give in for the time being with a cold snort.

But what they didn't know was that at this time, in the bushes not far away, a group of Yue... integration movement personnel whose heads were covered with leaves were ambushing.

"Really, do you really want to do this?! Use your super high speed to go up and kill them all, okay?"

The kingslayer's face seemed a little pale, as if he was forced to accept some kind of "difficult" task.

"Of course I have reasons why I don't want to expose myself. What Rhodes Island needs is to make the rescued infected people truly agree with our philosophy, not to pursue the asylum of a powerful existence, so unless it is an emergency, I will not use that powerful."

But you moved before!Still moved a lot on me! ! !

"Besides, those enslaved Sarkaz-infected people are also the targets that your integration movement vowed to liberate, right? We have the same goal now, and it is impossible to harm you. Although we can't obviously use the ability you know, But it’s not the only way to support us.”

"..."

The kingslayer gritted her teeth. For the sake of saving the infected, she could only accept this combat mission willingly, and then...

Dr. Joe held the belt with one hand and raised it over her shoulders in a javelin-throwing posture.

"See that red-haired Volper, aim, get ready, 1.2.3,...",

Whoosh!

The phantom of the Platinum Star flashed past Jogo Zhou Zhou, successfully launching the Kingslayer as "Iggy".

The Kingslayer is worthy of being designated for the World Cup... Cough, well-trained assassin, the flying speed this time is actually not much better than when Superman punished Mephisto. After all, Superman also considered the limit of the human body. .

Mephisto just howled and fainted, while Kingslayer was holding a blade with one hand, biting a wooden stick tightly in his mouth to suppress the panic in his heart, with the "scarce" propped up by the strong wind pouring into his mouth. "The face, as fast as a cannonball, flew over very smoothly and successfully.

Of course, this difference, perhaps, has something to do with the fact that Mephisto is at an altitude of several thousand meters, and the "human propeller" that was thrown up and down by Jogo.

"what sound?"

Perhaps most of them are fighting in the arena, or doing some shady mercenary missions. The corruption and withering with rich combat experience did not recognize the sharp whistling of the flying shells at the first time,

On the contrary, Kelby, the mallard duck, was the first to notice the abnormality. This may be related to Li Boli's flying instinct. For the blood race of birds, threats from the air always require the most vigilance.

Except, of course, Magellan.

Whoosh! ! !

It was too late and then it was too fast, I saw Kelby and the mercenaries blink directly in front of them, and even felt the gust of wind, Dr. Loren's figure disappeared in place in an instant, leaving only a bunch of The dust that rises from the ground and then gradually drifts away.

"???"

Kelby's duckbill was wide open, trying to turn around the brain circuit that didn't make a living person disappear out of thin air, but corruption and withering both looked in the same direction.

It's not that their dynamic vision is good, but because Kelby ordered them to wrap the mist around Dr. Loren's body to prevent her from playing tricks with Originium skills. As the control of the mist, Corruption and Withering naturally Can perceive where the "disappearing" fog is.

"There are enemies...take your bow...be careful."

The voice of corruption was unwavering, like a ruthless killing machine, but he still remembered to remind his brother to prepare for battle.

"What!? Who is so bold!!"

At this time, Kelby followed his corrupt line of sight to see a slender figure wearing a hooded black coat and a dark red tail appeared at some distance from the side of the team at some point, with his back facing them alone. He knelt down on his knees, but it was not because he was holding some kind of ceremony, but because he was pressing Dr. Loren's struggling and weak body under his knees.

Suddenly being held by someone around the waist and plucking onions on dry land, he turned 360 degrees at high speed, and was forcibly subdued to the ground before he recovered from the fright. How could Lauren remember that there is such an option as resistance?

Kelby finally realized the seriousness of the situation. Even if he had never learned command, he naturally had a keen sense of business as a businessman, and it was similar in tactics.

There are so many people on their side, but they deliberately only attacked Lauren who was in charge of the archaeological discovery, which shows that the other party does not necessarily have an enmity with the Knights Association, but to prevent their side from searching for the knight's treasure, but since someone wants to stop them from hunting for treasure , that will further explain the real existence of the knight's treasure and the importance of Dr. Lauren.

"Quick! Kill that person, I order you to kill him immediately and save Dr. Lauren!"

"...he has already inhaled it...and can't escape."

Withered drew his bow and set his arrows according to his words, instilling powerful skills in his hands into the arrow branches, while Corruption immediately attached the mist wrapped around Lauren's body to the surface of the Kingslayer, and was inhaled along with her breath. In the body, soon, the kingslayer will not be able to use the Originium skill.

If it is used forcibly, there may even be an extreme situation of venous reflux and self-abolishment of martial arts like in martial arts novels.

However, just as Wither was about to let go of the bowstring and shoot the deadly arrow at the unsuspecting back of the Kingslayer, there was a sudden chaotic and frenzied shouting from the other side of the line.

When Kelby's attention was immediately attracted, he saw a group of hooded men with branches on their heads and leaves covered in camouflage, holding weapons, crossbows and guns, and howling battle roars. , charging towards this side at full speed.

"Dreams are born!"

"Shoot him, magic gun!"

"Mother Fxxker!"

"Fantasy is all the rage!"

"Gensokyo physics is blooming!"

"All the great rivers and mountains will be killed!"

"Superman Holy White Lotus!!"
