Chapter 422 Lies and Truth
In an instant, Tiandi put the three things we got on the appraisal book and said to me: "Haha, thanks to this appraisal book, otherwise, there would be often equipment that could not be brought. With it, I would throw away the ones that were worthless, so as not to run back and forth, so as not to have trouble running back and forth."
I couldn't bring the equipment I got, so I was stunned. No wonder, others don't have a blessing backpack like me, who can carry unlimited weights. Of course, I have to choose valuable equipment when picking up things. However, with such a low storm rate, unless you kill large wave ss, you can't pick up so many equipment that you can pick up, and you can't even fit the backpack. I was secretly laughing in my heart, just listen to you.
Actually, I don’t know that Tiandi Yishu didn’t lie. Compared to me, his violent rate of killing monsters is only high or low. Unlike me, I was because all attributes were one when I was building the account, and I received a lucky bonus. Tiandi Yishu did a hidden task and got a special equipment with additional luck value, which was the lucky ring in his hand. In addition, he has been leveling up for a long time, and once he left the city, he would kill monsters for ten days and half a month. It was normal that I couldn’t put down some equipment. (I remember that my undead suit was just like that).
This book of appraisal is more convenient than going to the appraisal institute to identify. I saw clusters of yellow and white light chains surrounding the equipment, as if the light of life was infused into it. The three pieces of equipment also burst into hazy colorful lights. When the light chains and the colorful light converge and dissipate at the same time, three new and shiny equipment appeared in front of us.
After the red crystal stone in the building was identified, a solidified eye pattern appeared in the middle, just like the eyes of Count Nicholas, flashing with an uncertain and charming light.
Name: Nicholas's Seal
Level: Level 50 (gold)
Attribute: It can summon a highly poisonous rose defense flower wall centered on the user and spread half a 8-meter. It can carry out superimposed poisonous attacks on the invaders for ten minutes and consume a magic value of 1,000 points.
Cut, I'm using this equipment, it's useless. It's okay, why should we surround myself with these thorny poisonous roses? The most taboo thing for us, the killer, is that we are limited in movement. Besides, we don't need to own this equipment. There are already a lot of special items on my body, let alone spending so much magic value to surround myself with a wreath. I'm not bored to that extent. However, for a mage like Qingyou Lily, Nikola's mark is a good thing. At least a monster with a slightly lower level cannot be close to her.
I blinked my eyes and looked at the second piece of equipment, the necklace... I was a special piece for the mage. It increased the speed of magic chanting. The attack and defense effects of all magic skills increased by 10%. Looking at this purple-blue necklace, five diamond-flaming fire eye stones were inlaid with them. The rest were all made of fine crystal balls connected in series. They shook in their hands and trembled like water droplets. Regardless of their shape and purpose, they could be considered a treasure, but it still had no temptation to me. Put down the necklace, and then picked up the green belt I was holding and looked at it.
Name: Vampire's self-esteem
Level: Forty-five (Silver)
Defense: 20-25
Lasting: 60
Attribute: There is a certain chance to convert 5% of the opponent's attack damage into your own physical strength. After equipping with the helmet, gloves, and rings, the skill "Blood-sucking Immortality" can be activated. The effect: Recover 200 points of physical strength every five seconds. It is invalid in poisoning state.
This silver equipment is not bad at attributes. I picked it up and looked at it. After putting it on, I don’t even need to bring medicine. After being injured, I just need to hide while waiting for the blood recovery. Although the physical strength of 200 points in five seconds is slower, it is much more convenient if I deal with low-level monsters to level up. Unfortunately, this is the attribute of the set. If I want to get several other sets, it is probably not that easy, and it is a waste of money. I shook my head and held it in my hand and weighed it a few times.
"Brother, give me this belt, I just don't have this one to achieve the effect." Tiandi said quickly when I saw me holding the belt and I didn't let go. I was holding it as a chicken helper, but it was a treasure for Tiandi. I really didn't expect that he had almost finished the vampire suit, and it was just one to do. No wonder he was so excited when he identified it.
As the saying goes, a gentleman has the beauty of adulthood. People help me get the ss. Why do I have the nerve to take over the equipment they need and deliberately knock on someone else? It seems that Qingyou Lily likes that crystal very much, but she is a little reluctant to leave the necklace. I made a choice for her, picked up the necklace and smiled and said, "You can't take all of you all, right? I have to give one to my wife." It was originally a joke, but after I said it, the pretty face of the ponytail suddenly appeared in front of me, suffocating my heart. This girl really made me worry...
Seeing that I had picked up the necklace and said I wanted to give it to my wife, Qingyou Lily naturally left the Nicholas mark. She was clear, since it was everyone's credit, the equipment obtained was naturally divided equally. If I were not here, with the power of her and Tiandi Yishu, she would probably not have thought of dealing with Count Nicholas, so she was very calm about not being able to achieve both worlds.
"Brother, it's not too late, and it's time for us to go offline. I'm very happy to cooperate with you again. How about contacting you if you have the opportunity in the future?" Tiandi took a few steps forward in an instant, and said while asking me to apply for adding as a friend.
Haha, relying on parents at home, friends at home, and people who go out to live in the world, know more players like him, there are only benefits and no harm. I thought to myself, add him as my friend, and then said, "Sure, go to my territory to sit for a while and communicate more."
"I don't usually turn on the pager. If you have something to come to me, just leave a letter at the Black Forest Bar." Tiandi Yishu said with a smile. I understand that I don't like to turn on the pager when I fight monsters or do tasks, for fear of trouble. Tiandi Yishu is very similar to me.
Tsk, I suddenly remembered that Black Forest Bar is the one that Wubian asked me to go to, and a few rock guys opened an alternative bar? Thinking of this, I casually asked if Tiandi knew a killer named Wubian. But I just said Wubian's name, Tiandi and Qingyou Lily were shocked, as if I had been stimulated. But I quickly returned to normal. It seemed that the child was my temporary illusion.
"I do know him. In reality, we are friends, but we haven't been in touch for a long time." Tiandi put his things into his backpack in an instant, looked at Qingyou Lily, and said calmly.
My intuition told me that something had happened between him and Wubian, but I was very tactful and didn't continue asking.
"Aren't you leaving?" Qingyou Lily and Tiandi walked to the door in an instant. Seeing that I had no intention of leaving, I turned around and asked.
I turned around and pointed at the body of Count Nicholas and said, "I want to try to collect something from this guy."
"No need to try." Tiandi shook his head for a moment and said, "This type of monster can only collect vampire bones, even Boss is no exception. Nothing is used. I have heard people say it before. Otherwise, why would I leave the body and not collect it?"
"Oh, so that's it." I agreed angrily, but my eyes were still staring at the corpse without moving.
"If you want to pick it, pick it slowly." Tiandi saw that I didn't seem to believe it very much, and shrugged and said, "There are two rooms next door, you can also visit it. There is a box in one of the rooms, which requires the legendary Cross of Light to open. I found out that the Cross of Light is in Nicholas Castle, but I have come so many times. I haven't seen it once. If you have any excitement, you can go and have a look."
What, the Cross Sword of Light. Isn’t it just in our bag? Of course you can’t see it, but we stole it from here a long time ago. This is the opportunity given to me by God, and I never expected to encounter it here. I really have to thank the world for giving us clues in a flash, otherwise, even if I saw that box, I might not know what was going on.
Although I was very excited, I still looked as if nothing happened on the surface, and I agreed casually, and seriously threw the collection technique towards the body of Count Nicholas.
Seeing that I was still doing what I wanted. Tiandi shook his head in an instant and pulled Qingyou Lily out of the hall. The monsters outside had been refreshed. The two of them cooperated closely and killed them from the third floor together. These experiences cannot be wasted.
There are really only vampire bones. After losing the collection technique for a long time, we also picked up a lot of white bones. This thing is indeed useless, but I looked at it and it was quite good to use it as carving material. In our hands, no matter what kind of waste it can be turned into treasure.
I turned around and listened to the movements of the earth on the road. The heaven and earth and Qingyou Lily should have gone far away in an instant. I returned to the center of the hall and took out the cross sword of Light and the most evil depraved blood in my bag.
According to Pope Mirovendi, as long as the most evil fallen blood is poured on, the Light Cross Sword can be improved, and it has jumped from silver to gold-level equipment. Although we already have several dark gold-level equipment in our hands, we still have a small knot in our hearts for this Light Cross Sword that has been in our hands and has not been improved for a long time. Just imagine, it is a pity that we can get a weapon that can be developed but cannot be used in our hands.
This kind of thing cannot be done at all. I kicked the trash in the hall to the side, cleaned up a clean area, placed the Light Cross Sword flat on the floor, and unscrewed the bottle full of fallen blood, and slowly poured the red fluid wandering like a living thing on the sword, for fear of missing a detail and making our golden weapon worthless.
When the last drop of evil fallen blood was exhausted, the Cross of Light suddenly burst out with a red light, and the entire sword body seemed to be burning red in the furnace, especially the part at the tip of the sword seemed to melt away immediately. Why was this happening? I hurriedly reached out to pick up the Cross of Light, but was forced back several steps by a burning airflow. I seemed to feel that it was not a sword in front of me, but a volcano that was about to erupt. Could it be that Pope Mirovendi could lie to me?
At this point, I had to stand aside and watch it change, and watch my cross sword slowly melting and deforming in the blood light with heartache... If our golden weapon is gone, I must go to the forgotten Temple of Light, demolish Pope Mirovendi's lair, and insist on asking him to compensate me.
The red light emitted from the cross sword on the Light had spread to the gems at the hilt of the sword. The gems of various colors also shine under the roasting of the red light, and they shine with each other, entangled together like a blend of water and milk. In an instant, all the colors on the sword disappeared. They turned into dazzling white light, which made me unable to open my eyes. I raised my hand to block the strong light. I nervously observed the cross sword in the light in the white light from the cracks between my fingers... A silver star light emerged from the end of the hilt of the sword, and surrounded it with shame. All the gems on the sword turned into colorless and transparent crystal at that moment, leaving only a bright red gem in the hilt of the cross sword.
It seems that our Light Cross Sword has not been destroyed. When all the light disappeared, I picked up the upgraded Light Cross Sword from the ground with ecstasy... Hey, why did the name change?
Name: Crusader's Confession
Level: None (gold. Wanted to be improved)
Attack: 100-150
Attribute: Double the lethal bonus for monsters in the immortal, dark and undead attributes
Attacking a sacred monster will cause 20% damage backlash.
Lasting: 78
One-handed
Speed: 5
The grade of this sword has been improved, and the silver level has indeed become gold level, but why do I think this attribute looks so weird? There seems to be something wrong with it.
"Young man, you're fooled." A slightly magnetic and familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind me. I turned my head and looked back. Damn, I almost made me sit on the ground. I saw a silver-shining crusade armor, with a red cloak with a crusade pattern behind me, and my long black hair fell from my cheeks in curling. My hands were crossed and wrapped around my chest. Damn, wasn't this the Count Nicholas who had just been killed by us? Why did he resurrect again?
When I calmed down, I saw that it was wrong. The person in front of me was slightly different from Count Nicholas, that was, the eyes of Count Nicholas were red like blood, while the person in front of me was silver-gray, like two drops of mercury dripping into his eye sockets.
I secretly lost a real person and peeked at him: Count Nicholas's soul, and his identity is the guardian of the Cross Sword of Light. For a moment, I couldn't react a little, with surprise in my eyes. After a few breaths, I stared at the elves of the count in front of me, and my mind seemed to be mixed with a cloud of slurry.
"I'm very strange why I'm here?" Earl Nichola's eyes suddenly became very peaceful, completely different from the previous charm. "Because the Light Cross Sword in your hand originally belonged to me, and my original identity was the Light Crusader Paladin in the Temple of Light."
I listened to Count Nicholas's words as if I were listening to a fantasy, without even listening to it.
Seeing that I didn't respond, Count Nicholas said, "I guess it must be Pope Mirovendi who asked you to come to me. He must have told you that using my blood can improve the ability of the Light Cross Sword, right?"
I nodded in response, in return for Count Nicholas's slightly mocking smile. "You have been deceived. Pope Mirovendi's real purpose is not to improve the ability of this sword, but to seal my soul forever so that I will never be able to kill him." Count Nicholas opened the thick curtains, and the moonlight was covered with the floor and the mercury was reflected in the window.
"Oh..." Earl Nichola sighed and said quietly: "Time has passed too long, and I can't tell whether it is day or night."
"What the hell is going on? Why did Pope Mirovendi lie to me?" I walked to Count Nicholas. At this moment, he looked no hostile at all. My courage returned to my stomach, and my waist was straight.
"This is a very long story..." Count Nicholas pulled the curtains back and slowly told me a sad legend.
"Originally, I was the Paladin of the Temple of Light. My duty was to protect the holy spiritual leader of the Temple of Light - Queen Serene. However, one day, I found that I fell in love with the people I guarded, and the Queen also fell in love with me. This relationship is not tolerated by the Holy See. For them, our approach is a blasphemy of the Holy See, a blasphemy of the Temple of Light, and a blasphemy of God. So, Queen Catherine was pushed to the cross, and I was exiled forever and would not return to the Temple of Light for the rest of my life. I believe you should be able to guess. The person who made this half decision was Pope Mirovendi."
"I was almost in pain after being exiled. But at the last moment when I was about to enter the abyss of self-destruction, I accidentally met a mysterious messenger. No, the messenger of God was given a turning point." He gave me a second life and rekindled hope in my heart. But at the same time, he also made me no longer see the sunshine in my lifetime. I could no longer enjoy the moment of the rose blooming in the afternoon. From that day on, I gave up everything about the Crusader of Light, gave up everything related to light, joined the night, accompanied the moonlight, and rippled in the dark world. Finally one day, I returned to the Temple of Light and took back the body of my lover. Put her next to me
, always accompany me, every time I wake up, I can see her at the first moment. I know that I have the ability to resurrect her. But I didn't do that, because I know that she will lose the sunshine forever, and her golden eyes will lose the brilliance of the past and turn into blood-like red. She will always use blood as the only purpose and means of survival, which I don't want to see, I don't want to blaspheme the person I love the most, my holy Queen Catherine. "When Earl Nicholas mentioned the name Catherine, he always had gentleness in his eyes. It seemed that the beautiful queen was standing in front of him at this time, and he did not allow himself to lose any slightest in front of the person he loved deeply.
I listened silently, without interrupting, waiting for his next sentence. This story just tells me what does Count Nichola's original real identity have to do with how he became a vampire and what has to do with our Light Cross Sword?
"Later," Count Nicholas turned his head and looked at the sword, with a wry smile on his face and continued: "Every Crusader of Light must make a vow when he is baptized by God. If one day he betrays the Holy See and betrays the Temple of Light, then we must use our own freshness to clear our sins. When our last drop of blood is cast on our own cross sword of Light, it means that we hand over our own earthly rosy and confess to the Church, and we will never betray the Temple of Light again. And our souls will be sealed in our weapons forever. Originally, my sword had been retracted from its attack power when I left the temple and turned into a badge, but now..."
It turned out that all this was a trap set by Pope Mirovendi. On the surface, he wanted to give me a golden weapon, but in fact he asked me to help him eliminate a thorn in his eyes. Thinking of this, a fire of nameless karma ignited in my heart. The thing I hate most in my life was to be used.
"What are you going to do now?" Count Nichola turned his head and looked at me expectantly: "Would you send me back to the Temple of Light, or do you go with me to kill Pope Mirovendi?"
"This..." I hesitated for a moment. Although Pope Mirovendi's use of me was severe, if I went to kill him with Count Nicholas, wouldn't it be used again? I just killed Count Nicholas, and his soul was standing on the same front as me so quickly. I can't believe that he had no ulterior motives.
"It's okay." Seeing that I didn't answer, Count Nichola said calmly: "You don't have to make a decision now. I understand that any gain requires effort. I will wait for that day. Now, you might as well make a deal with me. You just need to bring this Crusader confession with you. When you are in danger, I will appear to help you through the difficulties. When one day you discover the value of helping me, I believe you will be willing to cooperate with me."
When there is danger, it will help me overcome the difficulties? Does this mean that we have another object to summon, and the little abacus in my heart will ring again.
"Okay, the deal is done." I said with a smile: "If I go to the Temple of Light again, I will definitely bring you and deal with that old liar together." Pope Mirovendi must have some treasure hidden in it. It will not take a day or two to worry about him. Anyway, one day I will have to deal with him, so I might as well agree to Count Nicholas. No matter how I count it, I will not suffer any loss.
Earl Nichola's soul smiled, and without saying much, it turned into a white light and fell into the crusading confession of the Crusader. Our Cross of Light Sword changed its appearance. I checked its attributes and it turned out to be an extra skill - the contract of the soul of Nicholas. Effect: When the physical strength value is reduced to the maximum value of 20%, you can summon Nicholas' soul to help fight. Cooldown: twenty-four hours. It can only be beaten to 20% of the blood, which is not much, and it can only be summoned once a day. It seems that this contract is not very useful. I didn't realize that Count Nicholas is not the vampire Earl who can only suck blood and release bat-type roses, but the soul of the Templar who holds the Cross of Light Sword. It is of the same level as our little shadow, and it is even a little higher.
After conquering Count Nicholas' soul, we should go to the two rooms next to us to take a look. I heard from Tiandi that one of the boxes needed the Light Cross Sword to open, but now the Light Cross Sword has become the crusader's confession. I don't know if it can be used. If I had known this, I should have opened the box first.
With a restless mood, I walked to a room on the left, which was arranged like a bedroom, but there was no bed. The curtain of the gauze embroidered with lilies was obviously a carefully carved coffin. The walls on all sides were filled with oil paintings, and the protagonists in the painting were all the same woman, with golden curly hair, golden eyes, snow-white skin, smooth shoulders, slender arms... There is no doubt that this is the Saint Catherine Queen Nicholas mentioned. She took a picture of an oil painting and wrote a love on the back of the painting: "All nights soaked in heat, so far, all the distant darkness in front of her gathered now.
All that long and crazy love is so short after passing by, all the strong and fragile burdens are expected to the other side. Stop every breath of my heart, let my heart penetrate the deepest secret, and guide me to grasp the beauty of life. If I die now, will the world care about tomorrow? When will there be traces of my shadow in your dream? In your eyes, in your dreams, in your heart, I was the only one... Use the sunset that once made me most excited, to draw your image in the sky, and after countless sun and moons, who will you be by your side? Decorate your eternal side with all the flowers and fragrance in the world, and let your heart that has stirred me up for me remember my smile..." I sighed and hanged the oil painting back on the wall.
From the clean clean floor, the luxurious wool carpet, the beautiful tables and chairs, the various exquisite vases placed around, and the fresh roses inside, it can be seen that although she has died, Count Nicholas' love for her has not decreased at all. Unfortunately, from today on, the affectionate man will no longer appear in this room.
