Antlers did not take the king's head himself, but wanted to give it to another person.
"Let's make a deal... I will only do the mission this time, and you can leave those people to kill."
He discussed with Lily in this way, showing his harmlessness and goodwill.
He spread his hands with his palms facing outward, indicating that he was not hostile: "I will only be your helper and your bait this time. I stand outside to attract other people's attention, and you can take the opportunity to sneak attack at the right opportunity...
If I'm in danger, you don't need to come to my rescue.
"In this way, you don't have to worry about my betrayal, and I can also be your loyal teammate - how about it? There is no harm in this for you, right?"
Of course Lujiao knows that traitors can easily emerge if one adapts to the road.
But does he usually encounter fewer duplicitous people?
He has long been accustomed to contact with this kind of people.
People who are accustomed to betraying do not necessarily betray. As long as you can give them enough benefits and security, and increase the price of their betrayal, these people can still be used.
Moreover, Antlers is convinced that Aleister should be a young man less than twenty years old. The "knight" is only in his early twenties. Now he has also determined that there are very few kings who will no longer be promoted after acquiring mysterious skills.
Utilitarian extraordinary person.
In other words, everyone else is on a dual path, including this "gray robe".
Since he is on a dual path, he is not as extreme as a single-path transcendent...just like although he is on the twilight path, he is still very good at talking.
And Lujiao always felt that the other party's personality should actually be good.
Because he felt that he had no hostility toward the gentleman in gray robes, and even had a vague affinity for him. There was no basis for this, it was just his instinct—but his instinct had always been relatively accurate.
Although Lujiao did not get an immediate response from the gray robe, he vaguely heard that the king's breathing suddenly disappeared and made a very low "gurgling" sound. It was like someone was strangling his throat, but Lujiao did not notice it at all.
Find out where exactly the "grey robe" is.
After a while, a deep voice sounded.
"Okay. I'll give you his body."
——This is less than half a minute, right?
Such a skilled bare-handed strangler...is he from the strangler party?
Lujiao had some vague guesses in his mind.
But the strangler party may not be unable to cooperate.
He smiled cheerfully: "It's destined... I don't know if you have heard of a saying. Of the nine roads, three are still moving, three are quiet, and three are changeable. Wisdom, adaptability, and dusk are all joys.
On the quiet road, you are a very typical adaptor.
"But for the Dusk Road, I talk a lot."
Lujiao said, reaching out and groping on the ground, he found the still warm corpse head.
He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the other person's forehead. The dim yellow light was like a worm, slowly crawling along his fingers on the face of the "King's" corpse.
"My friends, my relatives, my lovers. The people I accidentally killed, the people I couldn't save."
The antlers chanted in a low voice with a special rhythm: "I am the sorrowful messenger of Boötes, the dog of Ikarios. There is no place for you in the underworld, please come back silently."
As he spoke, he opened the king's mouth with his other hand and blew a sharp breath into his mouth.
At that moment, the king's body was like a lighted lamp.
His whole body lit up with a dim yellow light, and it became brighter and brighter.
These rays of light traveled around in his body, and eventually half of them gathered in the heart and half in the brain.
The "King" suddenly opened his eyes, and a dim yellow light lit up in his pupils.
He climbed up from the ground neatly and followed behind Deerhorn. He opened his mouth slightly, but could not make any sound.
"...Can't he speak?"
As people watched the "ceremony of resurrection from the dead", Lily finally couldn't help but ask.
"Well, no. But this is still Mr. King, not an empty shell. It's just that he can't think properly."
Lujiao answered simply: "Talk and singing are the realm of beauty, reproduction and emotion are the realm of love. Thinking is related to wisdom, exercise is related to transcendence - the dead and surviving person has been stripped of the four realms, and the dead are
Those who still have souls are stripped of the sixth realm, and those who are dead but have no souls are stripped of the eighth realm, leaving only dusk.
"From this perspective, the dead who have been resurrected by necromancy... are actually still in the world of the dead."
This is a principle of necromancy that normal necromancers will not explain.
But for Lu Jiao, who is a lawyer by profession, there is nothing to hide.
Lujiao looked at the huge door and ordered: "Go and open the door."
The resurrected king opened his mouth silently, then rushed over with extraordinary agility, climbing up like an ape.
"It's a pity that there is no bone staff."
Antler sighed: "If I had a bone staff, I could strengthen Mr. King's corpse. There would be no need to issue instructions like this anymore."
"Aren't you a big shot in Avalon?"
Lily asked calmly: "Isn't it easy to make a bone staff?"
"That's really difficult. The weapons you can bring into the ceremony must be made by yourself," Lujiao said casually, "I'm getting older, so it's not easy to learn carving from scratch."
He does not mean that.
Just the words "I'm older" made Lily's heart move.
Although it is normal for important people to be older... But for some reason, when she first met Mr. Antlers, she felt a vague sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him before somewhere.
At this time, Lujiao also asked: "Speaking of which, what should I call you?"
"Ash."
Lily replied.
The "Spider Silk Tantra" she inherited was taught by Hui Tiansi. Now it is more appropriate to use this name.
"I will protect you in secret."
She whispered: "I will always follow you, but don't try to find me... I am the spider in the corner."
Of course, this is a lie.
She was quietly observing the antlers, looking for an opportunity to kill with one hit.
In fact, she didn't understand this mission...but Lily clearly realized one thing.
——You only need to kill six people in total to win. And Master Aiwass can definitely do it.
However, the first "antler" to appear in the ceremony is the least controllable variable.
No one knows how many trump cards he still has. Therefore, Lily must follow him closely and look for an opportunity that can definitely kill him.
But besides that...
"You said you were a big shot."
Lily, lurking in the shadows, couldn't help but ask: "Do you know the ministers in the Round Table Hall?"
She was still a little curious about her biological father, whom she knew almost nothing about.
Hearing this, Lujiao showed a confident smile: "Of course. No one knows those people in the Round Table Hall better than me."
And on the other side.
Gordon, who goes by the pseudonym "Thunder", the knight and the rotten wood-like man who is not in a good mental state have already escaped from the trap.
They left the storeroom without losing numbers.
"Where are you going next?"
Gordon took over the captain's duties very naturally: "Let me see if we are on the same path - if we are on the same path, we can help each other. If not, we can only go our separate ways."
"I want to find the Holy Spear."
The knight said without hesitation: "Then use the holy spear to smash the giant's cauldron! If there is a chance, I also want to challenge those giants who believe in evil gods!"
"I can accompany you to get the holy spear," Gordon nodded cautiously, "or I can accompany you to crush the magic cauldron. But I strongly disagree with you attacking the giant - but if you must do it, I will
won't stop you.
"I will accompany you and try to protect you. If you are unfortunately killed, I can take your place and take the Holy Spear."
Both of them have a very strong hostility towards giants.
Compared with the Cavaliers, Gordon's desire for promotion is not that strong.
On the other hand, the man standing beside him as quietly as a rotten tree couldn't help laughing out loud: "Evil God? Hahaha..."
His voice was completely inconsistent with the messy and decadent image. He looked extremely calm, gorgeous and elegant. He didn't sound like a madman, but more like a nobleman.
"Of course the Supreme Heaven is the evil god."
Gordon frowned slightly, but patiently explained to the man: "'Supreme Heaven' is the name given to Him by those who believe in Xiong Tiansi. He is a Tiansi who prefers the path of love and the authoritative path. They yearn for it.
A world characterized by violence, lawlessness, and disorder, where the strong can bully the weak at will.
"In the past, the giant kingdom Alkotos was a dynasty that worshiped Xiong Tiansi. As you saw... they would eat all races, even their own race. And the Supreme Heaven would even bless this evil race -"
"Mr. Thunder! Have you seen the mission of 'Escape Successfully'?"
The knight added on the side: "Snake Father said that we need to find the key and escape from the Pancoad Temple... The place we are in is called Pancoad Temple!"
Gordon affirmed: "This 'giant couple' is by no means an ordinary couple. They can kill the apostles, live in a temple worshiping the Supreme Heaven, and have a magic cauldron given by the Supreme Heaven. And they are so huge... This
Probably the legendary tall giant."
Once you reach Gordon's level, you can get access to some historical records about the Giant Kingdom.
Generally speaking, pure-blood giants are only six or seven meters tall.
In fact, giants are not born tall, but the older they are, the taller they are. Although giants can run when they are born, a three-year-old giant is less than one meter tall. Teenage giants usually
He is only two meters tall and looks like a slightly taller human boy.
But the difference from humans is that the development period of giants is very long. It can grow to hundreds of years, during which giants will continue to get bigger and bigger. But generally speaking, depending on the talent of the giant, each giant can reach
The maximum height is different.
Because it is said that Xiong Tiansi is very huge, the giants who are protected by him are proud to be taller. Usually, the taller the giant, the higher its status. Giants who are tall to a certain level are called "tall giants"
”, usually regarded as “a gift from the highest heaven”.
The ministers of the Giant Kingdom are all taller than the walls of the royal city. They are tall and thin, nearly twenty meters tall, and their white beards are like waterfalls.
Human weapons cannot easily hurt them, and it is not much easier for them to kill humans than it is for humans to crush bugs. These giants can cause earthquakes when they run, so they always sit and eat. Only during festivals, they will
They stood up and wrestled each other. And then the earth shook for days.
Judging from the door in the temple, this giant couple should be at least twenty meters tall, which is three times the height of regular giants.
"I'm afraid this 'giant couple' are actually Xiong Tiansi's apostles."
Gordon looked at the knight and said seriously: "It is normal for the apostles to guard the temple, so they can kill the apostles who dedicated themselves to the road and seize the holy spear. Just like in the Temple of Akpolis, there will occasionally be Hippocrates and
Akpolis appears... The giant dynasty worships Xiong Tiansi and builds temples everywhere. The apostles can fully appear in the temples.
"This is why I don't agree with you attacking giants. Even if Xiong Tiansi's apostles are not as powerful as the Nine Pillar God's apostles... But Xiong Tiansi is the Tiansi of the authoritative path after all. You take the apostle of the dedicated path.
I still think it is a foolish move to use weapons to challenge two apostles who follow the authoritarian path."
Hearing this, the rotten man laughed again: "The path of authoritarianism? Hahaha..."
Gordon finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He turned back seriously and asked seriously: "Sir, what do you think is funny? You can tell me directly. Please don't tell riddles, it will only spoil the mood - I think we are still teammates who escaped together. What's wrong?
Can’t we just say it directly?”
"...Are you sure you want to listen?"
A subtle smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth: "You said this yourself, you can't blame me."
Although Gordon and the Cavaliers felt vaguely that something was wrong, they didn't want to look back when things got to this point.
"You can call me Dark Cloud. I am a werewolf hunted by the Children of the Moon. A...poor writer who is preparing to escape to Avalon. I hope you can give me some convenience...Mr. Thunder."
The man who looked like a dead tree leaned against the huge and rough blue stone wall, raised a finger, and raised the corners of his mouth maliciously: "This is knowledge that you will never be able to obtain in Avalon. Although the Silver Crowned Dragon himself may not
He cares, but His apostles do; His apostles may not care, but mortal monarchs must care - who made them not kill all the giants back then?
“This is the secret of the founding of Avalon, the history of the time when the ‘authoritarian’ path did not exist, and the only change of Nine Pillars that mankind has witnessed in history.
