Chapter 223 Wen Hou, you don't want to live under people for a long time, right?
The current problem is how to deliver this great gift into Lu Bu's hands.
After exiting the source world, Lin Xiao stayed at home, looking at the card containing "Red Rabbit Horse Bone" in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
First of all, we need to clarify where Lu Bu is currently.
And how to recruit Marquis Wen without being noticed by the military leader.
"We must find a place where we can negotiate with Lu Bu." Lin Xiao said in her heart: "And we must make sure that he and I will not fight as soon as we meet."
The latter is easier to solve.
After all, Lu Bu's character is not one of revenge, but one of profit-seeking.
As long as he can use enough chips to calmly talk to his former enemies, it is not impossible.
The "Red Rabbit and Horse Bones" were exactly what Lin Xiao found as a breakthrough in negotiations with Marquis Wen.
As for the location of the conversation with Marquis Wen.
Obviously, there is no more suitable place than the small world that comes with "Mountains and Rivers".
The "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map" can block the perception of the soldier leader.
He and Lu Bu could even conspire loudly in the small world and discuss the correct use of Fang Tian's painted halberd.
Lin Xiao is not afraid of Lu Bu entering the "Mountain and River Society Map", but how to make Lu Bu enter the small world with confidence, he must first communicate with him.
Of course, Lin Xiao knew very well that it was impossible to get Lu Bu to serve willingly with just one meeting and a mere horse bone.
But as long as Lu Bu agrees to meet, it means that there is room for maneuver in the recruitment matter.
Moreover, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies.
It's much better to build up a wave of goodwill than to chop off each other's heads when Lu Bu and I meet.
"The most important thing is to find where Lu Bu is..."
Lin Xiao looked up at the ceiling.
The continent of Central Continent is vast and contains a large number of secret realms. Looking for a specific person in such a vast continent is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, flies can be found almost everywhere.
"It seems that it is Beelzebub's turn to appear again." Lin Xiao thought to herself.
Although he hates flies... Beelzebub's ability as the 'Lord of Flies' is really useful!
*
In addition to obtaining the red rabbit horse bones, the auction also contains two key pieces of information.
One is that the whereabouts of the ‘Overlord Cauldron’ are unknown. Han Li has launched an investigation on behalf of the Central Continent Alliance.
The second is to use Mammon's investment to purchase an expensive seventh-level material: "Suzaku Ruby" derived from Suzaku, one of the four spirits in the sky.
Currently, Tangyuan controls the rune fire, sun fire, and hell fire. Suzaku's flame is completely different from these three.
If the Golden Crow symbolizes the brilliance of the sun, then the Suzaku symbolizes the strong vitality that will never burn out and survive the fire.
Lin Xiao directly used "Suzaku Ruby" as a material and opened the "Card Master's Guide" to enhance the card "Sunflame Bird".
Thanks to the Suzaku Fire contained in the ruby, Tangyuan successfully broke through the sixth level and unlocked new mysteries.
【Breakthrough successful!】
[Unlock: Mystery Suzaku Ember Destruction]
[Suzaku Ember Destruction: Emit continuous Suzaku fire until it is automatically lifted or the target is reduced to ashes.]
It's not an explosive type of mystery, it's more of a 'burning' effect.
After Tang Yuan unfolds the possessed form "Purgatory Wings", "Suzaku Ember" can enchant fists, swords, wings, etc., and the attack will cause burning damage.
Currently, Tangyuan and Dafu are both at the sixth level.
It's not enough to beat the Four Evils, but it's more than enough to win the World Championships.
After all, I have been playing high-difficulty dungeons.
The World Championship is a vacation for Lin Xiao, where he can relax his tense nerves.
It was already late at night after making a breakthrough for Tangyuan.
Lin Xiao was planning to teleport back to the Federation the next day.
Firstly, he came to Lucifer to drink, and secondly, he borrowed the authority of Beelzebub, the "Lord of Flies".
…
The early morning sun shines on the green grape fields.
The wooden barrels piled up on the sides exuded a rich fruity aroma, and thin green vines climbed up the walls of the manor.
Beside the wooden table, a silver-haired man wearing a simple white robe sat on a chair reading a book. There was a hint of arrogance in his silver eyes, and he whispered to himself:
"It is enough to be proud that human beings' narrow wisdom can be handed down in the form of books..."
There was a Gothic girl sitting on the swing, holding a mechanical dragon in her arms. Asmodeus tilted his head and said:
"What did you just say, Lord Lucifer?"
"Nothing." Lucifer closed the book and said calmly: "There are spatial fluctuations in the manor... Go and receive Lin Xiao."
"Okay."
Asmodeus jumped off the swing, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and heard a strange noise.
Looking up, Leviathan, a little lolita with white hair and red eyes, was standing on the balcony on the second floor, with an expressionless face, chewing her cheeks, and holding the bricks she had just broken off from the fence in her hand.
Bang, bang...the lime fell...Leviathan raised the brick again and took a bite.
Asmodeus sighed: "She still likes to eat hard food."
"The sea demon that devours the world can naturally eat anything."
Lucifer raised his eyes, glanced at Leviathan on the second floor, withdrew his gaze, and said calmly:
"The energy required to maintain the human body is less. If it were to restore its original shape, it could eat up a city in one day."
"It's even better than Beelzebub..." Asmodeus muttered softly.
Beelzebub was tasting the freshly baked cream cake without using a knife and fork. His delicate hands were covered with cake. He rubbed his hands and sighed:
"It's only been a few days, and you plan to borrow my ability again?"
Lin Xiao said calmly: "I just borrowed my strength, and I didn't say I wouldn't return it."
Beelzebub picked up the napkin beside the table, wiped his mouth and hands fiercely, and said:
"You have to pay a price for using the devil's power!"
“All you can eat is a month’s worth of sweets.”
"...One year." Beelzebub glanced sideways.
"Half a year." Lin Xiao countered.
"One year." Beelzebub gritted his teeth.
"One hundred and eighty days!" Lin Xiao raised the number and volume.
"make a deal."
Beelzebub immediately made the decision, suddenly reacted, and glared at Lin Xiao with resentment.
Lin Xiaokuan said:
"Learn more mathematics with Mammon."
"Tsk."
The beautiful girl's fair face was distorted, and the green hair on her neck was slightly exposed. She clicked her tongue vigorously, and then sighed:
"Half a year, half a year. Give me [Black Onyx]."
Lin Xiao handed Beelzebub the origin gem that symbolized original sin, and through her gift, he once again gained the authority of the 'Lord of the Flies'.
"I want to ask," Lin Xiao said, "You are the devil in the West and the fly in Central China, can you also control it?"
Beelzebub snorted coldly, handed back the black onyx, and replied: "Anything from the whole world is fine."
The ability of the Lord of Flies can not only be used to control flies. Beelzebub can also control some flies that spread plagues and viruses.
She is simply the Queen of Zerg...
No wonder that in the Bible, Beelzebub was called the "King of Demons" by Jesus, which shows how difficult it is.
"Thank you very much."
Lin Xiao planned to use the power borrowed from Beelzebub to search for Lu Bu's traces, saying:
"Where's Lucifer?"
"Baking in the sun in the courtyard."
Beelzebub rubbed his temples: "Ordinary demons will not suffer as much as vampires when exposed to direct sunlight, but they will also be weakened."
"Lucifer is different. He is the morning star, more dazzling than the rising sun."
Beelzebub said: "So, he is currently the one who has recovered the fastest in the winery."
Fortunately, the contract was signed with Lucifer when his strength was weakened.
Otherwise, the Son of the Morning Star, who is comparable to God and the head of the original sin, even several eighth-level ones are no match for him.
Lin Xiao sighed a little and went to the yard to drink with Lucifer.
"How is the matter in Central Continent going?"
Lucifer motioned to Lin Xiao to put the mixed wine on the table and reached out to get it himself.
"Barely a quarter of the way through."
Lin Xiao showed a slight headache: "But I feel like the other quarter is about to start."
He was referring to the case of ‘Theft of Overlord Cauldron’, which was most likely related to the ferocious beast.
"A few days ago, you summoned Behemoth to help you..."
Lucifer took an elegant sip of wine, his silver eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly:
"We abide by the [Black Dragon Contract] and regard you as our leader. So if you need help, you can also ask us for help."
What Lucifer means is that if you can't beat him, you can shake the devil without any shame.
But Lin Xiao also had concerns.
Borrowing power is certainly possible, but frequently asking the devil for help will cause you to lose your prestige as a black dragon messenger, which will further reduce the binding power of the contract.
Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, he will not ask Lucifer to take action personally.
What's more, those are all experience points, and it would be bad if the demon god snatched your head.
"I see."
Lin Xiao said a few polite words, stood up and said goodbye, waving with his back turned:
"Next time I come, I'll treat you to a drink."
Lucifer nodded slightly and looked at Lin Xiao's back with deep eyes.
As an existence comparable to God, Lucifer's "pseudo-omniscient eye" can predict the future to a certain extent.
The enemy Lin Xiao is about to encounter.
It will be a brave existence that surpasses all human beings today.
Even Lin Xiao was not as strong as that human being.
After all, that man's bravery has transcended the realm of human beings and is comparable to that of a demigod hero...
His pupils stung slightly, Lucifer closed his eyes lightly and shook the goblet.
Two streaks of blood and tears streaked down his handsome face, then splashed to the ground as Lucifer lifted his chin to drink.
"Good wine." Lucifer closed his eyes lightly and tasted the taste.
Although you pay the price, you can spy on your destiny.
But there was no need to tell Lin Xiao about this fate.
Because Lucifer knew that for Lin Xiao and some humans.
It doesn't matter what your fate is, what matters is how you fight.
…
There are stunning streams in the mountains, miraculous craftsmanship, and roaring waterfalls.
Lu Bu was sitting cross-legged on the rock, his eyes slightly closed, and Fang Tian's painted halberd stood beside him.
Suddenly, he opened his cold eyes.
fly?
With his vision keenly catching the flying trajectory of the fly, Lu Bu put his five fingers on the long pole of the halberd in the sky.
He has extremely delicate control over Fang Tian's painted halberd, and can even pierce the wings of a fly with the spear at the end of the halberd without damaging the main body.
A cold light appeared in his eyes, and Lu Bu was about to swing his halberd when a slightly familiar voice came from his ear.
"Marquis Wen, do you still remember me?"
Lu Bu paused for a moment, and suddenly, murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.
How could I forget this voice? Lin Xiao, the enemy general who defeated me in front of Hulao Pass that day.
However, Marquis Wen suppressed his anger and thought, "How could his voice appear here?"
"Marquis Wen, I'm here."
The fly that Lin Xiao turned into landed on Fang Tian's painted halberd, making a sound as soft as a mosquito's moan, and rubbed his hands.
Lu Bu's eyes widened with shock.
What a demonic Taoist priest! You can actually transform into a fly!
Fang Tian turned the tip of his painted halberd and immediately split the fly into two, and the overflowing evil spirit burned it to ashes.
However, Lu Bu did not see the real body that was supposed to appear, and his brows furrowed.
After a while, another fly flew over.
Lin Xiao sighed: "If one of me dies, there are still hundreds or thousands of me nearby, so Marquis Wen doesn't have to waste his efforts."
Lu Bu looked strange. The scene in front of him was beyond Wu Fu's understanding. He even suppressed his murderous intention and said inconceivably:
"Are you...a fly that turned into a spirit?"
Lin Xiao felt complicated.
How should I put it? According to Zhongzhou, Beelzebub, the ‘Queen of Flies’, is indeed a fly spirit.
But this ability does work.
Just like Sun Wukong who has mastered the seventy-two transformations, the most transformed ones are flies.
"This matter is difficult to explain in one sentence." Lin Xiao went directly to the topic: "I have something to give to Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu sneered in his heart. The enemies on the battlefield suddenly turned into monsters and said they wanted to give me gifts.
Isn’t this ridiculous!
"No need." Lu Bu closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and listened to the waterfall, "I won't kill you, you can leave."
Buzz——
Lu Bu suddenly widened his eyes, looked at the flies flying around his ears, and swung his halberd.
After a while, another fly flew over.
"I'm here to negotiate terms." Lin Xiao said confidently.
Lu Bu was so angry that he laughed and said, "Okay, I will listen to your terms."
"I have something to give to Marquis Wen, which is the skeleton of a red rabbit and horse. Marquis Wen can tell at a glance whether it is real or fake."
Lin Xiao said: "The condition is that Marquis Wen will go somewhere with me."
Red rabbit.
A flash of memory flashed across Lu Bufeng's eyes, and the memory from thousands of years ago hit his chest accurately.
As the saying goes, Lu Bu is among men and the red rabbit is among horses, how can he part with the red rabbit?
"Where to go?" Lu Bu said.
"We will find out when Marquis Wen comes."
Lu Bu picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and followed "Lin Xiao" forward, deep into the valley, and after walking for several miles, his vision suddenly became clearer.
I saw light overflowing, all the simple scrolls were unfolded, and the mountains and rivers were lifelike, as if there was a real world in it.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers... Isn't this the treasure that Lin Xiao took out in front of the battle that day?
Lu Bu frowned and said, "You want me to enter it?"
"Exactly." Lin Xiao said, "My real body is waiting inside. If Marquis Wen comes, I will hand him over the red rabbit and horse bones."
There was deep fear in Lu Bu's eyes.
That day, Qiongqi was extremely afraid of this magic weapon. If I went alone, I would be easily ambushed by the enemy.
Lin Xiao explained: "Emperor Wa is kind and kind, and has no intention of harming human beings. If Marquis Wen is afraid, please find another place."
"Huh." Lu Bu strode forward with his head held high, raised his halberd and stepped into the scroll, saying: "If you make false claims, I will definitely kill you without mercy."
As the world changes, Lu Bu is surrounded by the landscape of mountains, rivers, and mountains, with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Looking at the clear and narrow lake, he is slightly lost in thought.
The door of the wooden house was pushed open, and a tall and handsome young man walked out. Lin Xiao smiled and said:
"Marquis Wen, I've been waiting for a long time."
Lu Bu looked around, his tiger eyes flickering, then raised his head to look at the sky, planning to use "Chi You's Five Soldiers" to blow open the sky, and said forcefully:
"It's really a magical treasure."
"As agreed before..."
Lin Xiao and Lu Bu were tens of meters apart, stroking the dumpling on their shoulders and letting it fly towards Marquis Wen with a card in its mouth.
"I will give the red rabbit and horse bones to you as a gift."
Lu Bu already knew how to use this kind of storage card. He ignited a burst of killing energy in his big palm, crushed the card, and stared at the horse bone gradually formed by the light particles, his eyes flickering.
I can distinguish the breath... indeed, it is my red rabbit.
It's a pity that the magnificent horse has turned into withered bones.
There was tenderness in Lu Bu's eyes. He held the red rabbit and horse bones in his two big palms and said:
"What is your purpose?"
"Brother Feng, a man should stand upright to heaven and earth."
Lin Xiao opened his mouth and said:
"You don't want to stay under the command of the soldier master, do you?"
Lu Bu's eyes changed slightly and he said in a low voice:
"What do you mean?"
"You will never be able to break through to the strength of a military master and climb to higher martial arts skills if you have been under the military master for a long time."
Lin Xiao said: "You losing to me is the best proof."
Lu Bu was sullen but did not get angry. He sneered and said:
"What's the use of having unparalleled martial arts if a person dies?"
Lu Bu certainly wanted to break away from his military master.
But he was summoned by the soldier master. If he betrays the soldier master, he doesn't know whether he will die.
Therefore, even though the red rabbit and horse bones presented by Lin Xiao made him a little moved.
But he will still remain under the command of the military master.
After all, Lu Fengxian is both an unparalleled strong man and a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
Lin Xiao replied: "It's useless. But the whole life of a person is nothing more than pursuing fame and fortune. Marquis Wen has enjoyed all the wealth, fame and fortune in his previous life. In this life, it is better to pursue the word 'fame'."
Lu Bu's eyes moved.
Yes, there is no one who is unparalleled in the world and is willing to be scolded as a slave of the three surnames.
Compared with the title of "Marquis Wen", Lu Bu preferred the title of "Flying General".
Why didn't he want to be like the flying general Li Guang, who would be praised by future generations?
"What kind of achievements and fame can be compared with that of Emperor Wa who mended the sky, Saint Yu who controlled the floods, and Huang Di who chased deer?"
Lin Xiao said: "Marquis Wen is not saving the Han Dynasty. He is saving Lu Bu's reputation, the common people, and all mankind in the world."
"Enough!"
Lu Bu scolded his eyes and said sullenly:
"I know that in pursuit of fame and fortune, there is no need to compare Yu Sheng and Emperor Wa with me!"
"That's because you didn't have a choice before."
Lin Xiao said: "But now, Marquis Wen has the right to choose."
Lu Bu glared angrily, his chest heaving, he turned around with his halberd and said:
"No need. There is no righteousness in doing this. I am just trying to protect myself."
Lin Xiao looked at Lu Bu's back, waved his hand to open the exit for him, his eyes were deep.
Lu Bu really doesn't care about justice.
But no strong person can resist fame and achievements.
Lu Bu stood at the exit of the Shanhe Sheji Map, paused slightly, turned his head slightly, and said:
"I accept your gift."
"As long as Marquis Wen is satisfied."
Lu Bu suddenly changed the topic, which made Lin Xiao open his eyes slightly.
"The bronze tripod carried by the former overlord is now in the hands of the military leader, and Yongzhu obtained it for him." Lu Bu said.
This information was his gratitude for Lin Xiao's gift.
Lin Xiao looked solemn.
Sure enough... is the Overlord Cauldron in the hands of the war master?
Lu Bu walked toward the exit of the secret realm, and heard his deep voice:
"If we are lucky enough, we can catch a glimpse of that unparalleled and powerful man."
Even though the unruly Lu Bu had read about that man's life in history books, his eyes showed admiration and solemnity.
Those who are attacked will be destroyed, and those who are attacked will be defeated.
Later generations praised it.
The bravery of Yu is unparalleled throughout the ages.
