Chapter 29: He’s not your sister
Chapter 29: He’s Not Your Sister
Jiang Lu was completely unaware that she was being led by the other party.
She was still immersed in the sad but nostalgic atmosphere and couldn’t help herself.
…
“Ever since Brother Goat sucked in the holy light so violently I’ve been wondering what the hell we three brothers are.”
Mr. Xia began to summarize as he fought.
“We don’t need to eat or excrete, we can act without taking in energy, and we’re even more terrifying than a perpetual motion machine.
“Somehow with a bottle of undrinkable coke we can build a Mars base, and with three full skeletons as awesome as us, wouldn’t we be able to rocket this world into the next epoch?
“So I guess the proposition is wrong.
“Do we really not need to take in energy?”
Catch the Goat thoughtfully, “You mean intake has always existed, but we don’t know about it?”
Mr. Xia: “Yes, intake is everywhere, it’s just that your absorption of high concentrations of holy light happened to be seen. So by the same token, I can ingest Shadow Energy, just like I’m doing right now …… Wait, dude seems enlightened!”
His dagger was suddenly coated in a purple film, right on top of Jianglu’s attack!
Ding!
Jiang Lu’s dagger flew out of his hand.
The elf froze.
It was then that she saw the line on her body.
It was as if one of the threads on the sweater kept getting pulled and eventually the whole thing disappeared.
But Jiang Lu didn’t have much panic, all she had was endless relief.
She murmured, “Although she can’t understand what I’m talking about, she recalled the battles in her lifetime in the familiar Shadow Fluctuation ……”
“Hmm ……”
Heine couldn’t bear to interrupt her.
He really isn’t your sister ……
“…… The winter of 736, or the late fall of 744, and the spring of 758, at the Blight Trail ……”
“…… Exceptional talent, great skill, familiarity with me, and we always face elite foes hand in hand ……”
“…… She’s better than everyone I’ve ever met, even her teacher says her dark blows are like the sting of a bee’s needle ……”
Reddening her eyes and taking a deep breath, Jianglu forced out a smile at Heine.
“Thank you for reminding me of her again, thank you.”
“…… You’re welcome.”
Heine sighed cooperatively.
…
Mr. Sa: “Holy shit, Bull, Mr. Summer, you made her cry?”
Catch the Goat: “Why do I think it looks like tears of sadness, probably touchy-feely? Like she was abused like that by her mentor when she was a kid.”
Mr. Xia: “It’s probably tears of sorrow. After practicing so hard for so long, she’s still not as good as a skeleton who just learned it, if I were her, I’d cry too. Buddy, level 8 Dark Ovation Strike, level 8 ah! What kind of concept is this?”
“With your pathetic attributes, such an exaggerated increase is of no use!” General Sa said sourly.
Teacher Xia: “Just say whether you’re envious or not.”
Catch the Sheep pressed him to tell how he learned it.
He was dying of anxiety now that he had an empty treasure mountain but couldn’t use it.
“This can’t be taught ah sheep brother, I absorbed the shadow energy are self direction, exposure to more will be, a little ‘long time to become a good doctor’ feeling, I guess if you in the dedication to take a bath maybe also learned.”
“Why does that sound like the concept of a ‘force field’?”
Catch the Goat said suspiciously, “Shadow Strike is essentially a kind of energy force field, and all you’re drawing on is vector energy, which accumulates to form a similar force field.”
“It does feel like that.”
“What about the conclusion what about the conclusion? So what about the conclusion?” Sa asked.
Mr. Xia: “If you get beaten, you get stronger, and you learn whatever skills you eat.”
Mr. Sa: “What about taming animals?”
After asking, Mr. Sa himself fell silent first.
The answer seems …… pretty sick.
Hearing this, Heine deliberately looked at Mr. Xia s soul fire.
It was probably because the amount ingested was too small, and it wasn’t tinted with the purple color of Shadow Energy.
But their conclusion was informative.
It even made Heine start thinking about the composition of this world’s atmosphere.
He hadn’t read such in-depth books, probably because the level wasn’t enough.
Air was composed of different monomers and compounds, and the atmosphere of this world should be composed of similar components.
The intake was always there, but there was no accumulation of special energy.
This is the same as the non-professional aborigines, who are unable to strip specific energies from the atmosphere.
That is, “not enough affinity”.
But it doesn’t matter, you can just “recharge” it.
And you can learn new skills under certain energy fields!
You can even do two things at once!
The fog surrounding his undead body was reduced by another layer.
…
Vermillion Dew quickly recovered from her hurt feelings, and she insisted on another fight.
Her feelings were well understood by Heine.
Assuming that Ms. Xia is her “sister”, the fight is both a reminder and a way to help her “sister” become stronger.
From her point of view, it was a win-win situation.
From Heine’s point of view, it’s also a win-win situation!
Winning numbness!
Now that’s what I call a world where no one gets hurt!
Heine was so impressed that he let her give it her best shot and beat her to death.
For that matter, Ms. Hsia had to thank him so much that she was close to calling him Dad.
Heine tried not to laugh out loud.
As for the other two buddies ……
Let’s just be sour for now.
……
For the next three days, everything went smoothly and orderly.
Arthur still hadn’t woken up.
But the “railguns” that the three travelers had said were supposed to come down one after another had not yet arrived either. This may have something to do with Heine’s destruction of an energy storage well.
Eternal Dawn canceled the plan or slowed it down.
But Heine guessed it was mostly other means.
This was, after all, the great momentum of history, and it couldn’t be stopped so easily.
One after another during this period, there were some Occupiers who came dustily to stay at the Lord’s Mansion.
Among them was also an old mage wearing gray robes and a tall hat.
They came from the four realms outside of Ebony Town, and they were all nominally Viscount Severn’s subjects, and some of them had knighthoods.
There was no doubt that they were all reinforcements shaken back by the insecure George.
Heine went to the lord’s every morning to show his face, chat, and brush up on his reputation.
When it was afternoon, he took the skeletons to the drill ground to learn skills.
Unfortunately, not every skill of the Wanderer was a Dark Blow, which was both high-frequency to use and tied to Shadow.
So without iterating Shadow Strikes you can’t form an energy field, and without an energy field you can’t charge as well as learn.
Instead, Jianglu gradually changed from a captive to a friend.
This wave was an indirect way to brush up the reputation of Cui Ye Ting.
……
That night, an unexpected person knocked on the door of the room.
“Simon?”
The person in front of him was the moneylender from three years ago, Heine’s recommendation for admission.
And the guy who brought people to make his family homeless.
“Greetings, Mr. Heine, I did say I looked forward to our next collaboration, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon.”
Simon was still well-dressed with a polite smile on his face.
He also had an older looking assistant with him, with lots of wrinkles, and his hair was actually a dark green color under his felt hat.
The moment the guests of honor took their seats, Heine heard Mr. Sa exclaiming.
“Linumu? What’s he doing here?”
Hmm?
Heine’s curious gaze fell on his assistant’s face and snickered:
“Your Excellency’s assistant’s hair color is quite trendy, isn’t it? Dyed with moon thistle juice?”
“It’s natural.”
Linumu calmly returned.
At this point Catch the Goat asked, “Something about this man looks familiar, who is he?”
“The MVP of the Battle of Mourning Wood Valley, the head caretaker of the medical team, one of the few people from Cui Ye Ting who survived.”
Catch the Sheep: “Ohhh, come to think of it, that Wood Elf, his Bud of Life is at least level six.”
Teacher Xia: “What’s such an awesome NPC doing here? I’ve never seen him even after hanging out in the Whispering Forest until level 10.”
Mr. Sa laughed, “That’s the benefit of following Heine, quests will come to you on their own.”
Teacher Xia was puzzled, “You’re not right, Generalissimo Sa, why are you licking it more than the two of us right now?”
Mr. Sa sighed.
“I also want to learn skills ah ……”
…
Knowing exactly where the other party came from, Heine let go of her doubts.
After a few pleasantries, the topic was led to Jianglu.
Yesterday, Heine wrote a letter and sent it into the Whispering Forest, and it looked like this was the response.
“To get straight to the point, on behalf of the Lion King Trading House, I have accepted a commission from the Court of Emerald Leaves to take care of Ms. Jianglu’s ransom.”
Simon signaled Linumu to open the package and took out a delicate silk cloth bag.
The cloth bag was unraveled, and inside were seven or eight withered yellow leaves.
Each piece emitted a strange fluctuation.
The veins of the leaves on them vaguely formed an odd pattern, and each one was different.
Heine frowned, “What does this mean?”
The ransom he had written was 100 gold coins.
He had wanted to write 300, and the three in his head were even more outspoken about not releasing anyone for less than 1000.
But he finally wrote only 100.
For one thing, he was afraid that Cui Ye Ting would delay, and for another, his reputation couldn’t be brushed in vain.
Jiang Lu can only return to Cui Ye Ting to maximize the value, which can not be measured by money.
Besides, it was useless for him to have money now.
This place was blockaded by the four kingdoms, and it wasn’t like anything that could affect the war situation could get in.
Simon smiled, ”It happened so suddenly that it was too late to exchange gold coins, so I can only use the elf’s currency.
“But don’t worry, with the Lion King Trading House guarantee, these leaves are worth 140 gold coins.”
Heine pretended to be deep in thought, but he was actually listening to the opinions of his “advisors”.
General Sa whimpered, “I guess Linumu came to the door to confirm.”
Sheepcatcher: “What confirmation?”
“I observed the Mourning Wood Ritual when I overtook those recruits earlier, and while the Spirit of Linumu didn’t miss us, this guy did.”
Catch the Goat: “How is he going to confirm that? Do these leaves have a claim?”
Teacher Xia: “I remember it’s the collection of leaves that has a saying, I’ve seen NPCs receive it with both hands and still bow.”
Mr. Sa: “Yes, the ancient tree leaves represent the souls of the departed, and to the wood elves it’s more of a ‘bequest from the elders’. If Heine really knew similar etiquette, he would at least have to stand up …… but how could he possibly know that, the Valley of Mourning Wood is too far away from here.”
“What about the symbols on it?” Catch the Goat asked, “That thing looks like a kind of writing.”
Mr. Sa was helpless: “I’ve never seen it, there’s only one symbol in the game, obviously the production team is lazy.”
…
Everyone was staring at Heine to see how he would respond.
Heine, however, shook his head.
He pushed the cloth bag forward.
“Sorry, I only take gold coins.”
