The King's Troubles

When Lily woke up, it was like magic, and the ropes that bound him were untied in just an instant.

This is the domain of her mysterious skill "Thread Control".

Because [Binding] is also one of the many secrets of spider silk. For Lily, threads and ropes are as controllable and reliable as extensions of limbs, and will not cause any interference to her.

This body was much stronger than her own, so the heartbeat became much stronger.

In pure darkness, she slipped silently into stealth. Lily stood in the corner of the room and closed one eye slightly.

While she was distracted looking at the task requirements that emerged in front of her eyes, she was sensing the surrounding environment with her other closed eye.

——In her perception, the world around her turned into black and white.

Every time Lily's heart beats, clear white outlines emerge in the dark world she perceives, and then they gradually fade and become clearer after the next heartbeat.

But not far away from her, there were two humanoid silhouettes that faded much slower.

In Lily's [Silken Thread Perception] field of vision, a large number of threads seemed to burst out from the position of their hearts. The weak vibrations of the heartbeat are reflected on the ground, forming a network like a spider web. In just a few breaths, the outline of the human figure was outlined very clearly.

After they woke up and realized their situation, their heartbeats suddenly became much faster. The most intuitive feeling is that the spider webs rhythmically mapped on the ground become larger and the frequency becomes faster.

"Is there anyone?"

One of them couldn't help shouting, "Help me!"

The other person's heartbeat suddenly slowed down.

A faint amber light flashed across his body, and the ropes that bound him were partially petrified and lost their elasticity. He broke free from the rope and shouted, "I'm here to help you - who are you?"

"I am King... who are you?"

"I am Antlers."

The man who used petrification to untie himself replied, "There should be another person in the room... can you tell us your name?"

Lily coughed slightly to indicate that he heard it.

"It turns out to be the gentleman from Path of Adaptation."

Antlers reacted immediately.

This is not good. Lujiaoxin said after reading the requirements for this ritual mission.

None of the allies he had roped in before appeared by his side. Instead, this taciturn adaptor and the botanist with little fighting ability appeared with him.

The profession of botanist is Tai Yi different from that of an alchemist in the traditional sense.

Although alchemists are not good at fighting, they can at least provide various mixtures... But the abilities of botanists are to spawn, demonize and control various plants. High-level botanists can also awaken huge ancient trees and turn them into powerful treants.

If it is in a forest environment, the combat effectiveness of "King" will be very powerful. But in this closed environment, botanists are basically useless.

And when they appear in the same place, this is basically a relationship of temporary teammates.

The most important thing is... since King appears here, it means that the most powerful "Aleister" will appear elsewhere.

Although the combat power of the demon parasitized by the shadow demon is definitely not the same as that of the shadow demon... But even if he only gets one-tenth of the power from the shadow demon, in this ritual, others will not be able to fight against him.

——This is really bad.

Obtaining Holy Lance will be locked by others, and it is more difficult for him, a low-level transcendent of Path of Twilight, to kill and win.

Antlers judged that Aleister would choose to kill and win after seeing this mission requirement. This also means that he can obtain a large number of corpses - there is no conflict between them.

His tasks in this ceremony were not difficult, including "putting the corpse into Magic Cauldron to resurrect". Each corpse had 800 points. And if he can resurrect himself and survive until the end of the ceremony, he can get 1500 points.

In addition, he also has the task of "closing the door"... use petrification to petrify the keyholes of some doors, and you can get 500 points for each door. At this height, he can be petrified but cannot be de-petrified, which means that every time the door is closed, the activity space of all ritualists will be compressed.

But this may not necessarily be a killing method - after making a sound to attract the giants, you can take the opportunity to close the door to seal them out. Doors sealed in advance can also be used as traps.

If he has the opportunity to come into contact with Holy Lance, he can also petrify Holy Lance to seal the power of Holy Lance. Make the person holding Holy Lance unable to use the power of Holy Lance to fight against the giant... so that he can get 1000 points. If the person holding Holy Lance dies as a result, he can get another 500 points.

After doing this calculation, his guarantee is 5,000 points. It's very easy to win with points.

Now Lujiao is already a senior transcendent.

He knows one thing very well: the task itself is the prompt.

——Considering this mission, Magic Cauldron's resurrection should only be possible once. And it can be used by anyone, not just giants. The fact that the task of escaping the house gives so many points means that it must be very difficult and extremely troublesome.

Considering the one-hour time limit, maybe there wasn't enough time. If his temporary teammates were more reliable, he could think about it, but now all he can do is restrict others and prevent them from escaping.

And this is very simple.

All he had to do was find and seal the door - ensuring that others could not escape, so that they would not get the two thousand points and overtake him.

In order to achieve this condition...

Seeing that the deer's antlers had not untied themselves, King gradually understood.

After a brief thought, he suddenly spoke and broke the deadlock, "Then you kill me."

King These words made the other two people look at him.

Lujiao asked with concern, "Is this okay?"

Hypocritical. Lily on the side scoffed.

King is very open-minded. "To be honest, I have no plans to be promoted.

"If it happens to be Ritual Site in a forest environment, I might be able to give it a try. But in this environment, I think it's better to just give up. This ceremony is New Moon Ritual. It is impossible for me to be promoted without sufficient strength.

"You happen to be my big client - so I want to give you my chance."

——He meant what he said. Lujiao's rich experience immediately determined King's true attitude.

When someone voluntarily quit, Lujiao breathed a sigh of relief. In this way the deadlock can be broken.

Instead, Antlers squatted down, groped forward, and then removed the rope from King. Allow him to sit up in a more comfortable position.

Then, Lujiao asked, "If you don't plan to be promoted, why do you want to participate in Promotion Ritual?"

"I'm here to sell goods, but business hasn't been very good recently."

King sat up and said very calmly, "Anyway, Promotion Ritual at this stage will not die, and will only be weak for half a month at most. And the people who will participate in the ceremony are all extraordinary people near me, and they are all only First Level... I did not expect that Avalon has been involved in these two recent times.

"It can only be said that Xing Antimony has been in too much chaos recently and has not been able to gather a group of promotees."

"What happened to Xing Antimony recently? "Antlers asked with concern.

"The "Rosy Cross" Society Society and Royal Alchemy Association got into a fight. The necromancers did not mediate this time, but instead watched from the sidelines. As a result, things got worse and worse. Two months ago, a famous alchemist was cursed to death. Now Demon Scholar are being attacked wildly by newspapers, but there is no movement at all from "Rosy Cross" Society."

King sighed and complained, "I don't know why, but the price of finished product Alchemy Potion has increased significantly recently, while the price of materials has dropped. It feels like there might be a war. This is why I come to Promotion Ritual to sell goods.

"The several Alchemy Workshops that purchased materials from me before kept asking me for discounts, otherwise they would refuse to purchase from me. How can I tolerate them - this is not the kind of low-quality material mixed with water, and each tube of essential oil has a sufficient amount!

"...But they seem to have made an appointment. The result is that all workshops refuse to buy from me, and have to reduce the price to 70% of the purchase price - let me tell the truth, Deer Antler. The 30% discount I gave you is the wholesale price I gave them before. If he wants me to get 30% off, then I really can't make any money. I don't want to be one of those alchemists' coolies."

King shook his head. "It might have been better if I could have been promoted to Third Level a few years ago. Third Level's botanists can also perform alchemy, so I can sell the finished products myself. But in the past few years, I was busy making money... Incense, essential oils, perfumes, seeds, and I made money for several years.

"Forget it now. I'm getting older, and I still have a wife and daughter to support... I no longer have the energy to study alchemy again. I might as well go to Promotion Ritual to sell some goods."

When he said this, he took Antler's hand and said sincerely, "I will give you this promotion opportunity. No matter how many kills you have, you can use my body as you like... You must remember our order!"

"Don't worry."

Lujiao nodded, exuding a majestic temperament. "I am also considered a big shot in Avalon, and I will not default on my debt. When I get back, I will send a deposit to your address immediately - the deposit is one-half. You can make it after receiving the money, and then wholesale it in two parts. This way you will definitely not suffer a loss... How about?"

"You are such a good person!"

King thanked.
