Goddess Wanhua Mirror

Fortunately, at this time, the mage in the team had finished singing the fireball technique, made an orange fireball the size of a basketball, and threw it at the monster, hitting one of the tentacles just in time.The violent explosion directly blew up the half-meter-thick giant tentacles from the middle, and the monster let out a deafening and mournful howl.

Seeing that the companion's spell successfully caused damage to the monster, Denzel and the others immediately boosted their morale, and continued to launch attacks to divert the monster's attention, so as to buy time for the magician to sing.But this terrifying monster seemed to have a certain amount of intelligence, and had already discovered that the magician was the greatest threat to him, so he launched a brutal attack again, desperately rushing towards the singing magician.

Seeing that he would be crushed if he didn't dodge, the magician brother could only stop singing and dodge, and then watched the monster slam into a building behind him as if he couldn't stop the brakes, collapsing directly Half of the house was crushed under the wreckage.

Realizing that this is a rare and great opportunity, Denzel immediately raised his arms to his companions and shouted loudly.

"Don't be so dazed, run!"

In an instant, Denzel was enlightened, and he learned the most essential technique of "36 Strategies" without a teacher.Only then did the other companions come to their senses, and realized that with their current strength, they were no match for this terrifying monster at all, so they followed the captain and ran away without saying a word.

The few people ran wildly all the way. Fortunately, when they came in, Denzel was still careful and marked every intersection they passed by, so they turned left and right along the way and didn't say they were going in the wrong direction.

But soon everyone discovered that there were heavy steps behind them, and the monster had crawled out of the collapsed house, and was chasing after them, and the sound was getting closer.

Hearing the sound from the rear getting closer, Denzel, who was running at the front, looked back and found that the monster had already chased them, only 30 meters away from them, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

Among his companions, the mage was relatively weak in physique and didn't run very fast. The big shield made a fatal mistake, even carrying his door-sized tower shield on his back. Finally.

Seeing that the big shield was about to be overtaken by the monster, and the squirming tentacles were less than half a meter away from him, Denzel suddenly remembered that when he came out of the village, the priest gave them another prop, which seemed to be called virtual Come on, be able to conjure a phantom to attract the attention of the enemy, but try not to use it on targets with too high IQ.

So with the mentality of giving it a try, Denzel immediately took out the little straw man from his arms, untied the red rope tied around the neck of the straw man according to the method taught by Luther, and then passed by an intersection, like throwing Like a grenade, the straw man was thrown in another direction.

After flying seven or eight meters, the little straw man landed and turned into a phantom man exactly like Denzel, and then shook his body suddenly, turning into three again on the spot, singing strange songs loudly, While dancing and running towards another direction, there was an inexplicable sense of joy watching.

At this time, a miracle happened!

The three phantom men who were running and singing successfully attracted the monster's attention. The big man obviously hated these guys who sang badly, so he gave up on Denzel and the others, turned his head and chased after the phantom men in the direction they were fleeing!

End of this chapter

Relying on the phantom that the straw man turned into, Denzel and others managed to get rid of the terrible monster, but at this moment, in the originally silent ruins, strange howls suddenly came one after another.Denzel and his party felt like they accidentally poked a hornet's nest, waking up countless monsters in the ruins.

The five people ran all the way to the gate of the city in a panic, without caring about checking what was going on behind them, and ran south on horseback as if fleeing.

After they left, on the grass not far from the entrance of the ruins, a cover was suddenly lifted, and a kobold came out from inside.He looked at the few adventurers who had gone away, then turned his head and flew into the city. He came to an inconspicuous building on the edge of the central square, and reported the news that the adventurers had escaped to Lu who had been staying here. De and Hume report.

"They went back?"

"Yes, they all ran away. Two bosses, what are you doing next?"

"The next plan is coming to an end for the time being. Everyone can rest for a few days. Ah Qin, you go and inform the various groups in the city and ask everyone to gather in the central square immediately. I have something to tell everyone."

After ordering the Kobold to deliver the notice, Lude stood up and stretched his waist. In order to ensure that this plan would go smoothly, Lude and Hume deliberately rushed to the ruins to deploy before Denzel and his party arrived. In order to give unsuspecting adventurers the best "game experience"!

Soon, the demihumans scattered in the ruins gathered at the central square. It was the group that "escaped" from the village before, and now Lude has integrated them into a tribe, responsible for doing some "for him" Black work".

At this time, there was a sudden distortion in midair, and a slender female black dragon with a very elegant flying posture appeared above the square out of thin air. It was Nidhogg's wife Tawawa.Seeing this, the demihumans on the ground hurriedly gave her an open space, while Lude thanked her with a smile.

"Thank you for your great cooperation, Mrs. Tawawa."

"It's just a little effort, and I also think it's quite fun."

Tawawa is an important foreign aid that Lude specially invited for this plan. If dragons also have occupational divisions, Ned Hogg is definitely a warrior, while his wife Tawawa should be classified as a magician and a genius. The magical girl kind.

The dragon magic that Tawawa is best at is illusion. She used "stealth flight" to approach Denzel and others from the air, and then cast the magic silently, and the young adventurers didn't notice it at all.

Afterwards, the fog and monsters they saw were all hallucinations, only the beatings they received were real, and the person responsible for beating them was the fallen leaves.

In the eyes of several adventurers, they had been fighting a huge terrifying monster. The monster's terrifying tentacles half-killed the large shields in their team with just one blow.But in the eyes of Lude, who watched the whole battle from the "perspective of ordinary people", the actual situation is that the petite fallen leaf is wielding a huge warhammer that is taller than her, and directly blows the guy with the tower shield away. out.

Through this false battle, Lude believes that Denzel and others will soon bring the information he needs back to the village.

A few days later, Denzel and others fled back to Pine Tree Village in embarrassment, and Lu De, who returned to the village first by "Dragon Airlines", pretended not to know and asked how the situation was?Denzel said with some embarrassment.

"The pillars on the ruined square fell down, and we encountered a monster we had never seen before!"

In front of Lude and many people present, Denzel told them all about their encounters along the way, not even hiding the strange dreams they had halfway.

Lude listened silently, with a serious expression on his face, then took out a paper and pen and drew a rough sketch on the spot, and then asked Denzel and the others if the monster they encountered looked like this .

"That's right! That's it. Do you know what this is?"

Facing Denzel's question, Lude couldn't help complaining in his heart. Of course he knew what it was. After all, when Tawawa created the illusion, he used the sketch provided by him as a reference.

But this kind of thing must not be explained to a few "victims", so he explained it seriously.

"This is a kind of demon from the outer domain of the horned dark descendant. The individual strength is very powerful, but the IQ is usually not very high. Generally, it comes to the world following a certain ritual call. Apart from discovering that the pillars on the square have been destroyed, what else do you have? discovery?"

"Yes! We found an ancient notebook."

"let me see."

Seeing that Lu De wanted to read the notes, the magician brother hurriedly handed them over.

Lude glanced at it twice, and immediately said that he had a way to remove the dried blood on the page to reveal the original text, but the process would take a while, Denzel and the others could go to rest first, and they would call out when it was done. They come and watch together.

After finishing the report, Lude asked casually, have you used the healing medicine and items given to them?Denzel immediately said that it was very easy to use, especially the recovery medicine. They had never seen such a medicine with such an immediate effect.

Denzel didn't know that the powerful effect of the bottles of recovery potions that Lude gave him was due to Aina's growth.

As the number of believers continues to increase, the divine power generated by faith is getting stronger and stronger, and now Aina has gradually begun to possess some "divine nature".

Relying on Ludd's new preaching, the believers subtly accepted many "settings" instilled in them by Ludd.And as long as these settings are not too outrageous, or have conceptual conflicts with the basic image positioning of the God of Medicine, once they are accepted by the majority of believers, and Aina's divine power reaches a corresponding level, most of them will gradually become available to her. new skill.

So for the purpose of experimenting, Lu De integrated the stories of Shennong and Jigong on the other side of the earth into the God of Medicine, saying that she once went down to the world to travel around the world, and used her immortal body to taste all the grass and trees in the world for mortals, so she The tears shed are the panacea for all diseases.

As this setting became more and more acceptable among believers, Lu De secretly began to collect various body fluids of Aina for research, and even had the evil idea of ​​"using the goddess to make wine" for a time.

Fortunately, after a lot of tests in the end, Lu De confirmed that only Aina's tears have special effects, and it has nothing to do with her psychological state when she cries. There will be no obvious weakening after hundreds of times.

Using these specially collected tears of the goddess, Lu De has secretly prepared a full ten liters of high-efficiency recovery medicine. Calculated at [-] milliliters per bottle, it is enough to make a thousand bottles, and selling them will definitely make a lot of money!

That night, Denzel and the others had a good night's sleep after a long time, and they didn't have the nightmare that had troubled them for many days, and slept until dawn.

After waking up, he felt hungry, and was about to find something to eat, but suddenly heard the noise outside, so he went out to check, and found out that there were new adventurers in the village, and there were several groups of people when they came. There are three or 40 people in total.Right now, they are gathering at the door of the newly opened inn by the village chief's house. It seems that some disputes have occurred between the two teams.

One of them is all warriors, with a large number of people, uniformly wearing very rough leather armor, and holding all kinds of heavy weapons.The other party is taking the gorgeous route. Although the number of teams is only half of that of the other side, the professional mix of personnel is very balanced. The leader is wearing metal plate armor, and his status is obviously unusual.

Denzel mingled with the crowd and listened for a while, and found that the reason for the dispute between the two parties was the accommodation. The village head’s hotel could not accommodate so many people.The two teams currently facing each other came last, and luckily they arrived at the same time, so there was a lot of trouble for the last two vacant rooms.

Denzel knew very well that Pine Tree Village was so big that even if you couldn't stay in a hotel, there would always be plenty of vacant rooms.

"I said, do you savages from Kalizi understand the rules? Do you know what it means to come first? A group of uncivilized savages!"

"What are you talking about? Is it amazing to be here in the capital? Dare to say that we Kalizi people are barbarians, and I still don't like you bunch of dead motherfuckers!"

"Oh shit! Are you scolding again?"

"What's wrong with scolding you? If you have the ability to fuck me! Come on!"

Seeing that the two teams were about to fight in the street, the militia in the village was not strong enough to stop them, and the other teams of mercenaries just stood aside and watched the excitement with a smile, and some even took the opportunity to make a fuss.Denzel was hesitating whether to bite the bullet and go up to persuade the fight, when a strong holy light flashed, and everyone present couldn't open their eyes.

At this time, Lude came over with a cane, stood directly between the two teams of adventurers who were at war, and said with a warm smile.

"Do you want to get beaten together by gathering people here to make trouble?"

"..." xN

As soon as Lu De's words fell, the scene was silent for a moment. The eyes of the villagers watching the excitement were shining, while the adventurers looked at each other in blank dismay.

When they first saw this benevolent old priest coming over, they subconsciously thought he was here to be a peacemaker, but when he opened his mouth, he was so aggressive that they were all stunned.

The boss of the warrior side was the first to come back to his senses. Although he recognized that Lude was a priest and he didn't dare to provoke these priests easily, he still couldn't lose his momentum in front of his subordinates, so he said in a low voice .

"My lord priest, you have a serious tone!"

"Really?"

Lude glanced sideways at the other party, and then snapped his fingers casually. The people present did not see Lude making any other movements. The very burly and strong captain of the barbarian warrior seemed to have been hit hard on the face suddenly. Suddenly, the onlookers only heard a muffled "bang", and the soldier captain lay down on his back straight, and fell unconscious on the ground.

This instant magic spell combined with an invisible attack shocked the audience immediately, and Lude immediately walked up to the fainted warrior captain, and silently cast a healing magic spell on him, awakening him from his coma Come over, then tilt your head and ask him with a smile.

"Are you clearer now?"

"Wake up, wake up!"

Looking at the warrior captain lying on the ground with a bewildered expression, and then turning his head to glance at the somewhat nervous noble youth, Lu De easily established the prestige of a strong man in front of the mercenaries.

Lu De saw that these guys were all quite honest, and thought that what Hume just said was indeed very reasonable.It's useless to just reason with these adventurers. You have to show your fist the size of a sandbag first, and then let them stand there obediently and listen to you reason with them.

Relying on the prestige established at the scene, Lu De first asked the adventurers present to register first, reporting their team name and union they belonged to.

Unlike the mercenary guild, which is a unified national official organization, the Adventurer's House is a private enterprise, funded and established by local nobles or wealthy businessmen, so the scale and operation methods are also different.In the entire Duran Kingdom, there are more than [-] adventurer organizations, large and small.

Compared with mercenaries, the disadvantage of adventurers is that the quality of personnel is uneven. Unlike mercenaries, they will be graded through assessment, and the room for advancement is smaller. However, because adventurers do not need to serve as reservists of the country, they can Respond to the king's call, so it is relatively freer.

Apart from Denzel, there were 43 other adventurers present, totaling five squads. The team with the largest number of pure fighters was of course 13 people including their captains. These squads were entrusted by various adventurer guilds. , made a special trip to investigate the dragon.

After Lude asked these adventurers to register, he called Ron to arrange a place to live with them.If there is no accident, there may be an endless stream of foreign adventurers in the next period of time, and the village must make early preparations.

Seeing that the conflict was resolved, Lude was about to go back to the temple with the registration booklet, Denzel hurried after him and asked him about the notebook.

Lu De looked around and said in a mysterious way.

"Come with me, this is not the place to talk."

Following Lude, Denzel came to the temple together, and Lude showed him the notes that had been split into pages, as well as the potion used to soak the decontamination.Lude told Denzel that the potion he used could only dissolve blood stains without damaging the handwriting. Unless the handwriting itself was written in blood, it would not disappear easily.As Lude said, he showed him a few pages of notes that had already been soaked.

"Do you know Elvish?"

"I just know a little bit. Rick is very proficient. He is a magician in my team, and Elvish is a compulsory subject."

"Then I'll translate it for you, but what I'm going to say next, you'd better not pass it on indiscriminately after you go out."

Lude told Denzel that the original owner of this notebook should be an adventurer and a magician just like him.

This guy seems to have obtained a mysterious treasure, which he calls the "universal wishing machine".But because the magician didn't know how to use this treasure, he decided to take the risk and use an ancient demon summoning ceremony to consult the demons from the outer domain who claim to have all the forbidden knowledge.

As far as the current situation is concerned, this guy at least succeeded in the summoning ceremony, but the devil is not a kind person. If you ask them for help, the other party will ask for your life and soul as a reward in all likelihood.And the reason why many people have the idea of ​​​​summoning demons is very likely that the idea itself was bewitched by demons before it suddenly appeared.

Therefore, Lude infers that there is a high probability that this unknown magician was used by the devil. The reason why he ran to the ruins in the Void Forest alone to summon the devil is very likely that the devil wanted to use him. hand, to break another seal in the ruins.

Fortunately, the seal itself was watched by the black dragon as the guardian, which barely prevented the most terrible thing from happening temporarily!

End of this chapter

After Lude's set of logical "reasoning", Denzel didn't understand what was going on, and the whole analysis process was also convincing.

After all, this is a grotesque and magical world. All the gods, demons and spirits do exist, and Lude's identity is a priest. The credibility of the words spoken is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people.

certainly!What really convinced Denzel was their personal experience in the ruins of the ancient city.

Lude then told Denzel that he would continue to repair the rest of the notes, and believed that more content would be available soon, and by then they would know the details of "Salary King", "Undead", "Heid Taka" "These strange nouns refer to something.

"Son, what you brought back is very valuable. It has provided us with a lot of valuable information. I have spent most of my life hunting down these demons from the outer domain who are trying to invade the world, but I have been suffering from limited information. What you brought back This notebook really helped a lot.”

"My lord, this is what I should do."

Hearing Lude's affirmation of his team's achievements, Denzel scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling that his trip to the northern border really wasn't in vain.Although the dragon was not hunted, it was a great event.

Lu De asked him to go back and rest for a few days to recharge his batteries. The next action might depend on the strong assistance of their team.Denzel immediately patted his chest and promised that he was absolutely duty-bound!

After Denzel left, Hume emerged from the shadows in the corner of the room.She had been hiding in the dark in a stealth state before, so he also listened to the story Lude told Denzel.

"I say you! It's just to divert the attention of these adventurers. Is it necessary to make up such a complicated story?"

"You don't understand this, do you? A complex but logically self-consistent story can greatly enhance the sense of reality."

"Then can't you tell the story directly? You have to spend so much effort to find a ruin to set up the scene, just to fool them and a few rookies into being fooled? What about the other adventurers who arrive later? You can't give them all Follow it all over again?"

"This kind of work is enough, and then we just need to let the news spread freely."

Speaking of the series of preparatory work done in the ruins, Hume felt that Lude was making a fuss. They mobilized more than 200 subhumans, an undead, and a dragon that could use high-level illusions.And investing such a huge human cost is just to fool a few rookie adventurers into believing that there is a sealed foreign demon in the Void Forest.

But Lude told Hume swearingly that what he is doing now is a big game that can bring them long-term benefits!

"Are you really sure that those rookies really believe in it?"

"As I told you before, the point is to create a sense of reality, and the method is very important. You have to know that most people in this world will be wary of others. If the information comes directly from me If they say it, they will definitely doubt it subconsciously, but if the information is obtained by themselves after experiencing the adventure of a narrow escape, then not only will they not doubt it, they will even doubt it when others question the reliability of the information. Take the initiative to stand up and maintain."

"why?"

"Because the information is completely equivalent to the fruits of their labor in their subconscious mind, questioning the information is trying to deny their efforts for it, do you think most people will agree?"

"Then what are we going to do next? There must be a second move in this big game you want to play, right?"

"Don't worry, it's the opponent's turn now."

At the same time, on the other side, after leaving the temple, Denzel was about to return to his residence to share the information he had just obtained with his companions.However, as soon as he came back, he found that there were many outsiders in the yard where he lived. It was the noble team that caused the conflict at the entrance of the hotel just now, and his companions were obviously controlled by them.
