Chapter 146 It's not me, it's the corpse who did it first
The effect of [Blood Sand Bullet] is much weirder than Raymond expected.
A beam of blood shot out, and the moment the red dragon was hit, it seemed as if all its color had been drained, turning into a black dragon.
"Fuck...don't shoot me into ashes, right?"
A hint of worry flashed in Raymond's eyes.
The vampire boss only said that the power of this magic bullet was equivalent to a full blow from a Sequence 1 master, but he did not say what kind of effect it would have. He now coveted the body of the lava dragon, so he was willing to pay such a bullet.
Precious one-time magic energy bullet. If it is shot to ashes, wouldn't it mean that there is no place to cry?
However, fortunately, the strange black and white picture only lasted for a moment. When the huge dragon corpse hundreds of meters away fell to the ground, it returned to the state of a dark red "fresh corpse".
[Ding! You killed the legendary BOSS lava dragon ‘Kraken’, with potential points of 835, soul points of 555, and world reputation of 10. 】
"Killed!"
The moment he heard the system prompt that the kill was successful, Raymond's face lit up.
Immediately afterwards, the system prompt sounded.
[Ding! An unknown soul has been detected. Do you want to use soul stripping? 】
【yes!】
[Ding! You peeled off a piece of information from the lava's obsession with gathering the 'Kraken', 'The red fruits in the lava of Nigel Volcano are about to ripen, I really want to eat them...']
Huh...
It seems like a strange message.
Fruit from the depths of volcanic lava?
That kind of place is a restricted area for life, and vegetation with high temperatures cannot grow. How can there be any fruits?
Before he had time to think more, another reminder came.
[Ding! If you find a powerful soul, should you use the ‘Hains Death Codex’ to seal it? 】
"I actually forgot about that piece of equipment!"
Raymond rolled his eyes, took out Heins' notes and opened it directly to select the seal. It was as if he could vaguely see a dragon-shaped shadow being drawn out. In the blink of an eye, the properties of the code changed and turned into a piece of extraordinary properties.
Powerful magic equipment.
[Haines' Code of Death]
Spells 188-350
Mental spell damage increased by 11%
Fire spell damage 15%
Skill: [Forbidden Technique·Sealing Soul] can seal an independent soul.
The soul of the sixth-level lava dragon ‘Kraken’ is currently sealed and has obtained the following soul-specific abilities.
[Penetration] Spell penetration 15%;
[Burning] Mental spells come with 15% additional mental burning damage, lasting 3 seconds;
[Dragon Might·Yin] is released automatically to frighten group targets whose grade is not higher than level six and whose mental power is not higher than the caster's, causing forced "dizziness" (lasting 1-90 seconds);
Detailed explanation: You have soul equipment; if you are not satisfied, you can replace it.
"What a powerful attribute! It actually comes with a group active skill of 'forced stun'!" Raymond only glanced at this piece of equipment and immediately saw its value.
"Forced stun" skill? It's actually this kind of PK magic!
But now was not the time to think about it carefully, he simply put away the code.
After doing all this, Raymond exhaled a long breath.
But at this moment, the system suddenly reminded him that it was time to commit suicide again.
Originally, Raymond wanted to cut off some of the dragon's nails to use as potion ingredients. I thought that since he helped kill the dragon, Archduke Philip would not be so stingy. Of course, if he could take off an arm and a leg, that would be enough.
Better.
But suddenly,
This cheating system prompts a sound,
Tempt him to commit suicide again.
[Ding! Do you want to collect this item, yes/no?]
"Nani? Such a big dragon corpse was actually judged by the system as a collectible item?"
Raymond was really shocked.
He looked at the hill-like lava dragon corpse in front of him, and felt a guilty conscience in his heart.
Huh...
I haven't done anything yet, why should I feel guilty?
Another blink of an eye,
Damn it, why is the dragon corpse missing?!
He was still thinking about a question just now...how to explain the disappearance of this thing in front of everyone.
But...
His body decisively made the choice for him.
【yes!】
There is a kind of contradiction. Your reason tells you that this is wrong, but your body is very honest.
It's not my fault, it was the corpse that did it first.
Raymond thought so.
Greed directly overran his rational judgment and commanded his body to make a decision without authorization. He immediately collected the entire dragon corpse in the system package. He also instantly thought of an excuse. If Archduke Philip asked later,
Get up and throw the blame directly to the vampire boss.
It is said that it is too late and that is too soon.
In a stunned moment, Archduke Philip and the strongest combatants in those territories appeared in front of him.
"Where's the dragon corpse...why is it missing?"
They just watched helplessly as the huge dragon corpse disappeared inexplicably before their eyes, and then all their eyes fell on Raymond.
With their keen perception, they still didn't understand what just happened.
However, the only thing they were puzzled about was, where did this guy take the dragon corpse?
Ordinary Hex space equipment only covers one cubic meter of space. How could such hundreds of cubic meters of dragon corpses disappear?
Archduke Philip looked at Raymond's guilty look and obviously guessed that this guy was responsible for the crime.
"You kid..."
His face twitched unconsciously, and he probably guessed that Raymond's ability to kill the seriously injured dragon must be the back-up plan left by his ancestors.
However, this saves me a lot of trouble.
Although the material of the dragon corpse is precious, now that the territory is at risk of life and death, it is not worth pursuing it.
"That's all..."
Thinking of this, Philip glanced at Raymond meaningfully, then shook his head helplessly, seemingly giving up on asking.
Is he...tacitly agreeing to his own behavior of occupying the dragon corpse?
Raymond was very surprised when he saw his expression. He had already prepared his words, but he didn't expect that Archduke Philip would let him go so easily.
"You go first."
At this time, Archduke Philip waved his hand.
Several other people immediately understood, nodded respectfully, and left the place.
Look at this situation,
Raymond knew that he had something to say to himself alone.
Grand Duke Philip said with a strange expression: "My ancestor is right, you are just a guy who takes advantage."
Hearing this, Raymond laughed dryly and scratched the back of his head without daring to speak, fearing that his next words would tell him to hand over the dragon corpse.
But at this time,
Phillip changed the subject and said expressionlessly: "When the war starts, help me take care of Irene. If there is a chance, take her and escape."
"Sir, what are you doing?"
Raymond heard that there was something wrong with this tone of voice. It was obvious that he was trying to "entrust me".
In fact, even if Philip didn't speak, he had already planned several escape plans in his mind. Just now, sea beasts attacked the city, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. Now that the beast tide has receded, the Tianlan Royal Navy fleet arrived from time to time, and immediately
There is still a big war...it will definitely be a fight to the death.
You mean a fight to the death? That doesn't exist.
For a time traveler like Raymond, the sense of territorial honor has nothing to do with him, and his life is the first priority.
What's more, this kind of large-scale war is not about personal heroism.
Grand Duke Philip seemed to be aware of his plan, and said in a strange tone: "My ancestors also said that if you really encounter a disaster in the territory, you will definitely choose to escape as soon as possible... Although you are weaker now, you can
The life-saving ability is not bad."
"..."
The corners of Raymond's eyes were covered with black lines. Does this sound like a compliment to him or a scolding of him?
I asked you, Capon, a super master with a rank of 0, why do you always talk about people's merits behind their backs?
"Um...Your Majesty the Duke, I think it would be more appropriate for you to take care of Irene."
"In this battle, I will live and die with the territory!"
There was a hint of determination in Phillip's tone.
"My ancestors are very optimistic about you, and I don't want you to die here. I will try my best to create some escape opportunities for you. Whether you can survive or not depends on you."
He glanced at Raymond and said: "After the bombardment, there will be a landing and street fighting. The Tianlan Royal Navy's landing craft numbered 8851 is my backup. You can take that boat to escape the encirclement..."
After saying this, he didn't say anything more and left without breaking away.
etc...
Leaving now?
What's the situation? What's the artillery battle? What's the landing craft?
besides...
After all, Irene is also your daughter. Do you really feel safe letting me take care of you like a novice?
Raymond was about to complain, but felt something was wrong. If it was Tuogu, who would you entrust Irene to? Do you have to entrust yourself to a Sequence 9 rookie?
Hey, hey, hey...
its not right!
After all, you are the one being protected by the vampire boss, so are you ready to fight to the death alone?
Didn’t I just show my trump card frequently, slaying a dragon like a dog...
The Tianlan Royal Navy hasn't arrived yet, so why are you so timid before fighting?
How could the vampire boss not leave a few artifacts, forbidden curse scrolls, etc., to help you reverse the defeat?
This was a doubt that confused him for a long time in the future.
Until many years later,
Only then did Raymond fully understand today's layout.
These big guys are all very hidden old bastards. When others play chess, they can calculate the master by looking at the three moves they make. These old foxes in power can count people from beginning to death.
...
There is a lot of movement in the retreat of the beast tide,
On the "Clive" not far from the island of the USS Philip Academy,
Meyer put down the telescope, his expression not showing much surprise.
"The lava dragon was killed so easily. I thought it could detect more things."
He squinted his eyes and muttered: "Tsk, tsk, tsk... Olympus Thor, that old guy from Orisis is so big this time, I guess his lifespan is about the same."
Old Clive on the side also said: "Once Aulisis dies, there will not be many masters under Philip who can still be on the stage."
"Master? Haha... In a war of this level, one or two extraordinary masters cannot turn the tide of the battle." Meyer didn't know what he thought of, and his eyebrows showed solemnity.
After thinking for a while, he smiled evilly and said: "Father, please inform the Tianlan Royal Navy. It's time for them to come and clear the place. You can't come all the way and do nothing."
Old Clive nodded and said, "What should we do now? Do we want to evacuate?"
Meyer waved his hand, "No, now is not the time to move."
Old Clive was puzzled: "But... the Rodney family's ship island has begun to evacuate. Now that the beast tide has just receded, it should be the time when Philip VIII has no time to care about anything else. Let them go soon
When I regain my senses, I probably won’t be able to leave.”
Meyer said indifferently: "Hey... Father, didn't you notice that Oleg didn't show up after he left the post of Defense Master?"
Old Clive: "Isn't there news that it was cleaned up?"
Meyer's eyes were blurred and he said: "He is Philip VIII's most trusted right-hand man. Do you think he will be abandoned?"
Old Clive seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes flashed, "You mean... we should stand still for now?"
"Since the ending is already determined, why not watch the show first?"
Meyer said this, becoming more and more sure that his premonition was correct, "Hey, I'm also very curious... what kind of generous meeting gift did our Grand Duke Philip leave for the Tianlan royal family?
!”
"You mean...then, do we need to inform the Tianlan royal family?"
Old Clive felt a chill down his spine when he heard this. It seemed to be in line with the character of the Philip VIII he knew, who was ruthless and decisive.
"No, no, no... I work for the World Government. What does the life and death of the Tianlan royal family have to do with me? This drama is just an assessment answer sheet I submitted to my superiors... Wouldn't it be better to be more exciting?
"
Meyer said this and sneered.
Suddenly another figure flashed in his mind.
After thinking for a long time, he murmured: "That guy named 'Raymond' has close ties with the Philip family. He seems to be a key figure who has been ignored... It seems that I have to go and see for myself."
...
The evil dragon was killed, and the tide of beasts receded. All the remaining sea kings also dived into the sea, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"We fought back the beast tide?"
"Hahaha... survived! We finally survived!"
"Long live Philip, long live the lord!"
"..."
Philip led the entire neighborhood into waves of cheers.
If it weren't for the devastated battle traces all around and the piles of sea beast corpses that proved that a fierce battle had just occurred, no one would believe that the territory had really suffered a brutal beast attack. Everyone felt like they were in a dream
It was like a hallucinatory illusion, as if the fierce battle for two days and one night was just a nightmare, and when I woke up from the dream, everything disappeared.
The tense nerves relaxed, and the sadness spread. This beast wave brought an extremely heavy blow to Philip's territory, causing numerous casualties and injuries to the people in the territory, and the infrastructure was completely damaged.
However, reality did not give them much time to breathe.
"Look, that's the main fleet of the Tianlan Royal Navy!"
"Has this day finally come..."
"They are really good at timing. We just fought a deadly battle with those sea beasts. How can we still fight now?"
"..."
Not long after... steam appeared on the horizon, and when I looked closer, I saw that there were densely packed steam battleships.
The flag on the battleship was hunting in the wind. Not only the main fleet of the Tianlan Royal Navy, but also the Orm Fleet, the York Fleet... Thousands of warships, large and small, arrived together, looking menacing.
Woo woo woo...
The war whistle sounded again.
The living people looked at each other, and they all saw the exhaustion and despair in each other's eyes.
finally,
Tianlan Royal Navy still plans to use force to surrender Philip's territory.
