Can you become stronger without paying money?

At that moment, countless painful memories flashed through Riel's mind, what the hell, Kelly bitch, you pay me back my hard-earned money!

Cough, okay, I'm emotional, calm down, calm down!

Riel turned his attention away, this time what he saw was an old parchment...

... This parchment itself has been stored for an unknown number of years, and the text on it has long been blurred and unrecognizable, but anyway, this thing is just the image of a prop, no matter what it looks like, as long as the prop itself is useful good.

...After all, there are six stars shining on this thing!According to luck, it is estimated that this time the guarantee is this thing.

Clicking on the item description and glanced at it, Riel was immediately in awe, the name of this thing is "Forgotten Contract", the effect is that it can unbind a piece of equipment or item that is bound to itself!

Seeing this effect Riel is really refreshed, cancel the binding!Although Riel doesn't have any equipment that needs to be unbound, and the effect of the blade's presence must be bound to itself to take effect, but anyway, with such a contract in hand, if you get it in the future For any powerful equipment that you don't need, you can use this to unbind it and pass it on to others.

And maybe this thing has other uses, Riel still can't think well for a while, but it's definitely right to keep this thing, so I stuffed it into the character's luggage...

In this way, there are two props left, and they are still the kind of things that don't know what they are used for...

One of these two props is a red oiled paper umbrella with a damaged surface. That's right, it is the kind of oiled paper umbrella full of ancient flavors. It seems that I don't know what it is for.

Besides that, the other thing is a... er, Rubik's Cube?

That's right, the four-square and nine-square grid pattern, each face can be rotated, a total of six color blocks, is indeed the standard third-order Rubik's Cube.

Riel adjusted the attributes of the two props separately, and after seeing it, he became energetic again...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

First of all, the oil-paper umbrella... There are seven stars on it... Riel counted three times in a row, afraid that he would be blind and make a mistake, so he deliberately called up the item attributes and took a look. That's right, at least in the item level You must have read the word "myth" correctly!

The name of this thing...is called "Follower Contract"...

...That's right, a follower contract!

Because Ai Lu's follower contract was a parchment scroll, Riel thought that the so-called follower contract must be in the form of a "contract book", but he didn't expect... It turns out that this Nima is not a contract book, but a special book. What a holy relic!

Item Name: Follower Contract

Item Level: Seven Stars (Mythical)

Description of props: The scarred oil-paper umbrella seems to be someone's favorite thing, and it hosts the will of an unknown hero.

Item effect: After using it, the special follower mission "Blade Wuxin" will be opened. After passing the mission, the follower "Blade Wuxin" will be obtained

Remark:? ? ?

Riel was confused, he did understand this effect, but shouldn't the follower contract take effect immediately after use, and then summon the corresponding followers?Why does this become a follower task after using it, and then get followers through the task?

Could it be that the Mythical level followers have a high style and are not willing to just come and make do with anyone?This is really unreasonable. After thinking about it, Ruier suddenly found a problem.

The props I bought this time are of too high quality...

From the effect point of view, it is a comprehensive completion, and it also hit the most critical item in the entire gashapon pool at once. If this kind of luck is a coincidence, Riel would have believed it before. After all, luck is indeed illusory. But after knowing the essence of the system, Ruier felt that this issue needed to be carefully considered.

If the full completion of the eleventh company this time is a reward given to Riel by the system, then the reward this time is obviously too generous. , specially taking care of Riel to open him up, so giving these good things means that Riel will encounter very difficult problems in the future. These things are bonuses paid in advance for him to enjoy.

Not to mention other things, just an uncle Arut who may be beyond the plot is already scary enough. If it is really impossible to kill this uncle by the plot, Ruier thinks that he should definitely not be able to rely on his strength now. Uncle's opponent...

Even with the cheats prepared by Igudra Hilli, it should be very difficult. On this basis, it is understandable that the system gives Riel the benefit of doing things out of the expectation that Riel will "accomplish something". But this contract seems to be illustrating another problem.

The system seems to be arrogant again. He is indeed willing to give good things to Riel, but he feels that it is too smooth to give Riel directly, so he set up this obstacle, so that Riel must first pass through to get this mythical follower. "Trial", only by paying enough corresponding efforts can we actually get this benefit.

From this point of view, the image of the system becomes even more intriguing. He has given Riel enough benefits, and it seems that he can give Riel without paying Riel anything, but the system is willing to give Riel Riel didn't want Riel to get these things too easily, so he set up the "Eleventh Company" mechanism, allowing Riel to obtain gold through hard work, and then quantify the exchange rewards.

It's the same now, in other words...

...What is this system supposed to do?If you really want me to save the world, don't you just give me the entire shopping mall?Is it fun to toss around like this?

I always feel that the purpose of the system is not simple, but Riel still can't think of that purpose now.

After shaking his head, Riel focused his attention on the last Rubik's Cube. This thing made Riel feel confused. The reason is very simple, because...

...The level of this thing is "???"

That's right, there are three question marks. Riel clicked on the item description, only to find that the item name column is full of garbled characters, and the item descriptions are all question marks... Seeing this, Riel is very confused. What the hell is this? The system After an update, the update is broken. Is there a bug?

It can't be so cheating, right?

But anyway, if you encounter this kind of problem, there is someone who can help provide an answer, even if you can't answer... at least it can tease people's depressed mood and relax.

Therefore, Riel immediately showed an incomparably bright smile to the AI ​​girl beside him.

"...Well, I saw a very vicious expectation in my dear's eyes. Are you thinking about something very rude?"

It seems that the system girl is quite sensitive in this regard, but she didn't react at all, which shows that she doesn't seem to mind the thoughts in Riel's mind.

Of course, Riel himself must have answered righteously, "How is it possible? Am I the kind of person who is very rude?"

The AI ​​girl carefully looked at Riel from the beginning to the end...

"Do you want to hear me tell the truth, or do you want to hear me tell a lie?"

"...Forget it, you don't need to say it."

Riel picked up the Rubik's Cube, messed it up casually, and asked while restoring it, "What is this thing? Could it be an ordinary Rubik's Cube for me to play with to relieve boredom?"

The AI ​​girl glanced at the Rubik's Cube in Riel's hand, and after pondering for a moment, she replied, "Well, at this stage, you should treat it like this. There are many aspects involved in this, and it is similar to the previous eradication of alchemy cauldron..."

"Is it something from another world?" Riel asked, the movement in his hands stopped suddenly, and he raised the Rubik's Cube in embarrassment...

"...Hey, the Rubik's Cube... how to restore it?"

It was only then that Riel remembered a very important setting... He didn't know how to twist the Rubik's Cube at all. He just pretended to be forced according to the atmosphere just now, and now he suddenly came back to his senses.

It doesn't matter if it's messed up and can't be screwed back, right?Could this be some kind of dangerous weapon shaped like a Rubik's cube, which would activate if it wasn't screwed in properly?If there is such a thing, it is activated for such a ridiculous reason, it would be too bullshit!

The AI ​​girl on the side stared at the dead fish and said...

"...So you don't know how to twist a Rubik's cube at all?! Forget it, give it to me."

After all, the AI ​​girl stretched out her finger, she is just a 2D vertical drawing, but when she pointed it out, the Rubik's Cube in Ruier's hand immediately flew up, and then it spun and twisted quickly by itself, half a minute later , the rotation of the Rubik's Cube stopped, Riel was ready to praise the beauty of the work, only to find out...

... Rubik's CubeTM is even more chaotic!

"Feel sorry……"

The girl in the painting turned her head...

"...I remember, I don't know how to twist a Rubik's Cube either."

Riel and the AI ​​girl looked at each other for a long time, and the atmosphere was once very awkward.

"Why don't we just pretend it didn't happen at all, and nothing happened just now?" "Good idea!"

So, Riel put the Rubik's Cube together with the oil-paper umbrella into his personal space. After all, the follower also came out of nowhere to make a living person, just like Ailu back then, so it's not easy to bring it out without an excuse. We are about to go to Ygudra Hill. With such a large ancient ruin, it is certainly not a problem to disappear with people for an hour.

As for the Rubik's Cube, Ruier decided to treat it as if he couldn't see it. Anyway, he didn't know what it was for. By the way, there was another thing that Riel was very concerned about.

"You can already control things that interfere with reality?"

Just now the AI ​​girl took control of the Rubik's Cube, which is obviously some kind of force that can interfere with reality. Compared with the original Li Hui, her ability has indeed been strengthened a lot.

"Ah, this ah..."

The AI ​​girl was just talking, when suddenly someone knocked on Riel's door...

"...Well, are you free now?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The voice came from outside the door, and even politely knocked on the door. Riel stepped forward to open the door and looked at it, but he saw nothing... Immediately, his eyes moved down, and there was a ball of white things and two lightly The trembling Triceratops ear came into sight.

It really is the little fox in vain...

"Ah, is there something urgent?"

Riel's mood improved a lot when he saw Baibai... Aside from other things, such a healing little fox is enough to heal people's hearts simply by seeing it. He bent down so that the eyes of the two were even.

Bai Bai shook his ears in satisfaction, "Well, there is a communication... Kakamea is here!"

Communication from Kakamea?Right now in the Federation of the Asian People's Congress, those who can manage affairs are either in the crystal seal of the imperial capital, or in vain on the Luna Shuttle. How could there be communication coming from there?

But Riel understood something after carefully recalling the plot, "Well, this is from the Luna Garden?"

While speaking, Riel moved away and let Bai Bai into the room. Bai Bai jumped to the large floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room. someone's figure.

It is the one I saw in the Luna Garden before, and it is probably the only living ancient elf in the whole continent and even the whole world so far...

... the true moon.

Zhenyue is still the same as she saw last time. At this moment, she is sitting leisurely on the cabin seat turned into a dormant cabin, and beside her is a certain blue and white thing that has not been seen for some time.

"Gui'an, Mr. Ruier~"

"Pony~"

Hearing the familiar greeting, Riel smiled knowingly, "Ah, Miss Zhenyue, you look pretty good, and Pliny too, long time no see~"

After greeting each other, Riel pulled two chairs from his side, and sat down for Bai Bai and himself respectively. After the two sides sat upright, Zhenyue also decisively brought the topic to the main topic.

"If there is no mistake, Mr. Ruier should have obtained the Xingyao compass, right?"

Riel nodded, and asked another detail, "Miss Zhenyue is really well informed. The Luna Garden, which is thousands of miles away, we just finished here, so you will know~"

However, Zhenyue shook her head slightly in the picture in the mirror, "No, it's not a matter of being well-informed, I just saw your actions with my own eyes."

"Huh?" The little fox Baibai was startled immediately, jumped up from the seat, and after looking around, he seemed to understand something, "Ah, you can see the situation of Suoli the Moon God ?"

After all, the Luna Shuttle is also a creation found in the Luna Garden, and the Luna Garden is managed by Zhenyue. It is also logical to say that the Luna Shuttle can be observed from a long distance through the Luna Garden, so I guessed the point in vain , Zhenyue spoke slowly.

"Of course, I just saw something I wanted to see, the privacy in your room, I have no interest in peeping..."

Although Luna Shuttle was originally the opponent's thing, Zhenyue really wanted to see something, Riel couldn't stop her, after all, it was necessary for a thigh like an ancient elf to have a good relationship, but Zhenyue took the initiative to express her disapproval. Being able to peek into everyone's privacy naturally makes people feel a lot more at ease.

"Then, that's not the point..." After Zhenyue uncovered this topic, he mentioned another question, "I got the Xingyao Compass, which means that Luna Shuttle already has the ability to enter Ygudra Hill, so, Let me give you some suggestions for entering Yggdrasil."

The reason why I didn't say it clearly when we met before is obviously because Riel has not obtained the Xingyao Compass, so Zhenyue has not been very sure of Riel's ability. Now that Riel and his group have successfully obtained the things, It also showed absolutely good potential, so Zhenyue didn't keep anything, and said everything she knew.

Ruier and Baibai looked at each other, and they both sat upright immediately and put on an appearance of "asking for advice humbly".

Zhenyue liked the reaction of the two of them quite a bit, so she stretched out her hand and pressed twice on the bracelet, and pulled out a projection screen, which was a floating artificial island with a huge crystalline tree growing in the middle of the island. The roots run through the main body of the island, and the branches traverse the four directions and cover the sky above the island.

Riel and Baibai have seen this before, in the simulated space of the Luna Garden, and it is the target of this trip, the world tree floating island Ygudra Hill.

"This is Ygudra Hill. Both of you should have seen the image. Landing after entering the main body of the island is not a problem. The specific problem lies in the turbulent air surrounding the outside of Igudra Hill..."

After all, Zhenyue moved her fingers together, and a layer of swirling airflow appeared around the model of the island. This airflow was like a solid barrier, covering the entire island.

"This is the turbulent air, the most powerful protective force besides Yggdrasil. With the veil of the moon, the Luna Shuttle can enter the turbulent air without being damaged, and the star compass can help you stay in the turbulent air." Point out the direction, but it’s not just that, the turbulent air is actually very dangerous, even the gauze of the obscuring moon can only keep you from being harmed for a certain period of time.”

"Theoretically, this certain time is enough for everyone to safely pass through the turbulence, but the premise is that you must walk the right path..." After that, Zhenyue controlled the bracelet to project a new picture, which was in In the dark turbulent air, a tortuous route was drawn.

"The turbulent air around Ygudra Hill reaches its strongest at twelve o'clock noon, but at this time, there is a location where the turbulent air is the weakest during the day. Look carefully, It is from this position...after cutting in from here, proceed along the indicated route, remember...the turbulence in the route is the weakest, as long as you make sure not to deviate from the route, under the protection of the obscuring moon veil, you It is absolutely safe to pass through the turbulence..."

When Ruier and Baibai heard this, there was no joy on their faces. Instead, they both became nervous, because they knew very well that if they had spoken so much in general, then there would definitely be those two words next, and those two words would appear in the next sentence. Words that make people want to flip the table most of the time...

"……but!"

Ruier and Baibai had expressions of "Sure enough, these two words", but they both listened to what Zhenyue said next very seriously.

"However, the turbulence outside the flight path is the strongest in a day. If you accidentally deviate from the flight path, and there is no way to return to the correct flight path within a safe time, then, even with the protection of the obscurity moon gauze, It will also be very dangerous, for this point, it will all be controlled by the person in charge of manipulating the Moon God Shuttle."

Zhenyue said here, nodded to Baibai, "Passed the test of Luna Garden, your ability is enough to pass this test, reliable little captain~"

Hearing this sentence was so comfortable, his tail was raised up excitedly, after all, he was able to be praised by an ancient elf of this level, and more importantly, he was personally recognized as the "captain"... um , although there is an adjective in front of it that makes people care, but who cares!Where is the captain!Where is the captain!

Seeing Baibai's over-excited look, Riel couldn't bear to disturb her interest. Wait until Baibai's emotions pass...mainly after watching Baibai's tail put down...Speaking of which, the emotions of this woman's grandmother are surprisingly easy to understand. After the vain excitement passed, Riel asked another question.

"However, since you have the route and the Xingyao compass to guide the direction, you still have to remind us that there is still some danger in the turbulence that may cause us to deviate from the course?"

Zhenyue put away her smiling face for Baibai, and stared seriously into Riel's eyes, "Yes, the next point is that the turbulent airflow is not a natural force, it is actually Ygudrasir's self-defense system , and in the turbulent air... there are also artificial creatures that also exist as 'guards'!"

"Wait..." Riel raised his hand and made a "pause" gesture, "Let's not talk about places like turbulent air. If you enter beyond the limit, you will almost die. Life that can move in turbulent air is more powerful. Since So many years have passed since the ancient elves fell asleep and Yggdrasil became the relic of the elves, are those creatures still alive?!"

These two questions are very important, and Zhenyue naturally answered them one by one...

"Yes, generally speaking, turbulence is not a place where life can rely on physical strength to pass through, let alone move freely in turbulence. However, turbulence is a man-made product after all. Special adjustments are made on this basis to create a Life with 'targeted' characteristics is not difficult."

"Oh, that means those things aren't more terrifying than transgressive, but purely because they specialize in techniques, and they're just not afraid of turbulence? So what about another question?"

"Those are only man-made lives after all. In a sense, they are close to the existence of elemental life. There is no real concept of death, and they have no self-awareness. They only have the most basic protective instinct. It is not so much life as it is A biological weapon would be more appropriate."

"Oh, it means the same thing as Tanquan Water Monster? Got it, that is to say, if we enter the turbulence, there will be such things to attack us and try to make us deviate from the course?"

If you are simply navigating in the turbulent air, with the Xingyao compass to guide the direction, the hazy moon gauze to provide protection, and Bai Bai's operating skills, there is definitely no problem, but if there are other things in the way at this time If so, it's hard to say.
