Chapter 38: Transactions(1/3)
Hidden in the secret room, the priest sat firmly on the wooden chair, his expression still as kind as before. If you didn't know him, you would definitely think that he was a kind and kind old priest.
The scarlet passage behind him was closed. Su Xiao didn't care about this. The moment he saw the priest, his hand was already on the handle of the knife.
Zheng!
The elegant wind mark slashed through it, and when they met, they greeted each other with the move "Bendō Sword Style". After the wind mark slashed through the priest's head, he cut the portrait of the scarlet monarch in two pieces.
The priest's head was cut open diagonally, and the upper half of his head began to slowly slide to the side. What emerged from the wound was not blood, but black liquid.
In turn, these black liquids turned into very thin black tentacles and entangled themselves together. This caused the upper half of the priest's head, which was cut off diagonally, to no longer slide downwards, but to be pulled back to its original position, and the final wound
heal.
The priest's face still maintained a kind smile, as if nothing had happened just now.
The long sword in Su Xiao's hand was sheathed. He had determined that it was not the priest's true body, and he didn't know if it was the priest's new ability after he was promoted to the ultimate power. This clone ability can be said to be quite powerful. Not only is it difficult to distinguish between true and false, but it also has
A certain immortality.
The later the later stage, the harder it is to kill the violators, such as the priest, such as the Platinum Apostle, the former No. 1 member of the brigade, but presumably, the violators who can survive to the later stage have been hunted by the Death Rangers many times.
.
Being able to survive these hunts and even complete counterattacks again and again, the direction of ability development must be closer to immortality, indestructible characteristics, and weird and weird characteristics.
Su Xiao looked at the priest opposite. He was sure that the priest must be waiting for someone when he left his clone here, but this person did not come.
First of all, it is ruled out that this person is from the Scarlet Camp. The priest is cooperating with the Scarlet Camp, so there is no need to go through so much trouble to meet. Secondly, it is ruled out that the other person is a contractor or a violator, because it can be negotiated through the world channel, so there is no need to risk meeting here.
In addition, there are only a limited number of people who can enter the underground world. Those who have no strength come here to seek death. In this way, the range of people the priest is waiting for is narrowed. Su Xiao suddenly thought of the scarlet eldest man he met just now. This guy is just enough.
The above conditions.
Since the two parties are meeting here, it must be that both parties have their own purposes. It is easy to guess the purpose of the scarlet eldest man. The scarlet castle was pushed back by Su Xiaoping. This guy urgently needs a reliable force to live in, otherwise in the dangerous Yongguang world, sooner or later the scarlet eldest man will
It's a dead end.
In the outside world, being able to reach extreme strength is a big deal, but in the world of Yongguang, there are extremely strong people everywhere. They don’t have the initial combat power of an absolute strength. Here, they don’t even dare to take a breath.
Thinking about it this way, it is easy to guess the purpose of the scarlet eldest man. Even if he has strength, because of the scarlet power he controls, he is more inclined to breed and have parasite characteristics. Obviously, he will be looked down upon by the scarlet camp, which is respected by the scarlet camp.
, is the blood flame, burning, and boiling characteristics of the scarlet power.
Therefore, it would be difficult for the scarlet eldest man to join the scarlet force, but if a priest can recommend him, this will not be a problem at all.
If the scarlet eldest man wants the priest to help, he must pay several times, or even more than ten times the price. Otherwise, he may not even be able to save his life. But the question is, what does the priest need help from the scarlet eldest man?
No matter how much Su Xiao thought about it, she couldn't figure this out. Apart from his good ability in begging for mercy, the scarlet eldest man seemed to have nothing worthy of being used by the priest in other aspects. Suddenly, Su Xiao thought of one thing, that is, the scarlet eldest man came from the Scarlet Castle.
The father and son of the Dark Blood City Lords of the Scarlet Castle were ruthless people who opened the abyss passage, even if what emerged from it was Scarlet.
When Scarlet broke out in the castle, the Dark Blood City Lord fought to the death and let his second son take away his youngest son. It is very likely that the second son, who was deformed by Scarlet, but whose sanity was not affected, is the Scarlet now.
The eldest man.
The reason why the Scarlet Eldest Man calls himself this is because of the scarlet outbreak in the Scarlet Castle, which was the result of the city lord's eldest son's insistence on going his own way.
The second son lost both his parents and all his younger brothers and sisters in a short period of time. His hatred for his brother will never be weak, but his brother is dead and he will never be able to vent his hatred. The second son simply pretends that his brother has never been born.
existed, so he called himself the Scarlet Man.
The scarlet eldest man has been guarding the fourth floor of the scarlet castle, which is the entrance to the dormitory. He claims to prevent the monsters in the fifth-floor dormitory from escaping. In fact, it is more like guarding his biological mother who has turned into a monster, and preventing his biological mother from being killed.
Opportunity to kill and devour innocent creatures until someone can defeat the biological mother who has turned into a monster and let her sleep in peace forever.
If this is the case, then Su Xiao's previous guess about the mission of Scarlet Castle was at least 70% correct.
If the Scarlet Eldest Man is really the second son of the Dark Blood City Lord, will the knowledge his brother and father possess be shared with him? They are all part of the same family, so the probability is actually very high.
In other words, there is a high probability that the scarlet eldest man masters the method of opening the abyss passage in this world, no, the method of opening the scarlet passage.
The conditions for the initial negotiation between the two parties were that the priest would introduce the scarlet eldest man, so that he could successfully join the scarlet camp and obtain a middle-level or above status, and the scarlet eldest man would hand over the method that could open the scarlet channel.
The priest wants to open the Scarlet Passage for only two purposes.
1. It is unlikely to obtain the power of scarlet. The priest has ancient god-like abilities, and after having the Golden Holy Grail, the subsequent development will be stable and rapid.
2. The priest attempts to release the Scarlet Monarch from the seal through the Scarlet Passage.
The second possibility has the highest probability. Maybe the priest initially cooperated with the Scarlet camp to obtain some kind of secret treasure or some kind of ability of the Scarlet Monarch.
But thinking about it this way, it’s not quite right. The scarlet monarch’s ability system is obviously not compatible with the ancient gods. Under such circumstances...
Suddenly, one thing the priest and the Scarlet Monarch had in common appeared in Su Xiao's thoughts. Both were holders of the original sin object! Moreover, the Scarlet Monarch had almost reached a perfect fit with the Scarlet Scepter.
It seems so, but as the current sealer of the Scarlet Scepter, Su Xiao can clearly judge that the relationship between the Scarlet Monarch and the Scarlet Scepter is completely different from that of Caesar and the Jar of the Abyss. The latter is a perfect fit.
.
The relationship between the Scarlet Monarch and the Scarlet Scepter is obviously not a perfect fit, but through some method, it has been filled to a near-perfect fit. If you think about it, the Scarlet Monarch and the Scarlet Scepter have more than 80% of the fit, leaving the remaining 20% vacant.
, was filled in by the Scarlet Monarch in some way, so as to achieve a situation that is infinitely close to perfect fit.
Thinking about it this way, the initial condition for cooperation between the priest and the scarlet camp is this "secret method of fit". The priest is holding the "Golden Holy Grail", and he and the "Golden Holy Grail" cannot achieve perfect fit, which is only 80% at most.
The degree of compatibility is exactly the same as the Scarlet Monarch's original situation.
Therefore, the scarlet camp proposed that as long as the priest helped them rescue the Scarlet Monarch from the nightmare seal, they would hand over the secret method to the priest. The two parties signed a contract for this purpose, and handed over the contract parchment and the "secret method of agreement" to the Void.
The tree notarizes and preserves it. As long as the Scarlet Monarch is out of trouble, the priest can obtain this secret method through the Void Tree.
At present, the scarlet camp is destroyed, but for the priest, this has an impact, but it will not reach the level of failure of the plan. He does not care whether the scarlet camp is dead or alive. What he wants is the "" that is in the notary storage of the Void Tree.
"According to the secret method", so releasing the Scarlet Monarch from the land of nightmare is the priest's current purpose.
This makes sense why the priest and the scarlet eldest man agreed to meet here. The priest did not have the key to open the nightmare place deep in the sea of sand, and the scarlet eldest man had the knowledge that could open the scarlet passage. Perhaps the second
A way to get the Scarlet Monarch out of trouble.
Su Xiao didn't know whether her inferences were correct. These were all speculations and conjectures based on known information, but whether they were correct or not was not important. Subsequent testing was the key.
Su Xiao hadn't taken off the [Scarlet Ring (fake)] yet, so he once again opened a passage in the scarlet mist behind him, letting Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha immediately chase the scarlet eldest man.
The other party intercepted it, and the plan was changed. The other party was not allowed to go to the sanctuary city for the time being.
This is not over yet. Su Xiao contacted Si Yasi through the team channel and asked the other party to catch the scarlet man as quickly as possible. After the incident was completed, 5 bottles of [Sacred Blood Potion] were given as reward, and Si Yasi received
After learning the news, I immediately chose to leave. Five bottles of [Sacred Blood Potion] were not important at all. The key was friendship, a deep and heavy friendship weighing five bottles.
As for why Su Xiao asked Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha to intercept the scarlet eldest man, and also asked Sias to arrest him, this was actually just in case. Su Xiao told Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha,
Let them deliberately go the wrong way so as not to be spotted by the priest's body as soon as they leave this place and be intercepted.
Bubo Wang, Amu, and Baha's team attract possible enemies, and Sias is the main force who can safely capture the scarlet eldest man.
In the secret room, Su Xiao seemed to be confronting the priest. In fact, the thoughts in her mind were racing, and she already had a relatively reliable guess. On the opposite side, the priest was also weighing the reason why Su Xiao released the nightmare blood shadow.
and subsequent purposes.
"It seems that releasing the blood shadow of nightmare is also an accident for you."
The priest guessed that Su Xiao did not intend to release the nightmare blood shadow. In this confrontation of mutual calculations, the priest took the lead.
"Let me guess, your target is the four giants of the Wuhuang Temple. Is it a mission of the law-destroying camp? No, you are the only one left in the law-destroying camp. So, is it a test for your law-destroying shadow?
Or...is it an innate task of destroying magic? With such an astonishing difficulty of the task, the innate ability of Shadow of Destruction is really powerful."
The priest smiled kindly and said, although the person here is a clone, it is definitely controlled by the priest's consciousness.
"I heard that the Archbishop of the Abyss got the "Sealing Blade" from you before, which is the key to leaving this place. The fake "Sealing Blade" cannot deceive the Abyss Archbishop, but my old friend Bai Ye will not do this
If you are not careful, you will not give the Archbishop of the Abyss the slightest chance to escape, unless this mission is not to kill all the four giants, but just kill three of the four? Therefore, even if one of them escapes by mistake,
It’s not unacceptable.”
The priest smiled more kindly. This was the third time in this confrontation that the priest spoke, and he spoke three times. Each sentence accurately revealed Su Xiao's purpose, and he took the lead in taking the three moves.
"This is the way to open the Scarlet Passage. You should have been to the Scarlet Castle, and you have also seen the battle traces left by me and the city lord's wife on the fifth floor. I found this in the city lord's study on the sixth floor."
Su Xiao took out a rolled-up parchment, and then he threw the parchment in front of the priest. The parchment rolled, and finally hit the toe of the priest's shoe, rolled back a little, and finally stopped.
.
This move made the priest feel particularly uncomfortable. He reached out to pick it up, instantly revealing his entire purpose of cooperating with the scarlet camp. But if he didn't pick it up, based on his understanding of the law destroyer on the other side, there was more than a 70% chance that he would pick it up.
If you throw out the real scarlet channel opening method, the opponent will be good at this kind of conspiracy that makes people have to choose.
In this calculating confrontation, the original score of 3:0 was immediately stretched to 3:5.
The situation was somewhat stagnant. Su Xiao and the priest both roughly understood each other's purpose.
The priest's purpose is to release the Scarlet Monarch, and Su Xiao will not let this happen. Once the Scarlet Monarch is released, he will definitely be the first to come to Su Xiao, not only because the two sides are mortal enemies, but also because the Scarlet Scepter is with Su Xiao.
Now comes the interesting part. How to make the other party fail to achieve his goal and achieve his own goal may be the key to the follow-up.
"Bai Ye, you must have a way to lift the scarlet monarch's seal."
The priest spoke, this was a direct show of cards, but this made Su Xiao's heart sink. The priest's show of cards was too direct, there must be a trap in it.
"I actually admire the law-killing camp."
The priest suddenly mentioned the ancestor eradication method, and still expressed his admiration for it. But then, his words suddenly changed and he continued:
"However, even the previous generations of exterminators have been able to seal the Scarlet Monarch until now, which is the limit. I am not belittling the seals arranged by the exterminators. It is amazing that the seal that has not been maintained for so many years has persisted until recently."
To be continued...
