Chapter 219 The King of Deceit and the Death Doll

Lines of burning small characters appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes:

"The guardian of all living beings, the spirit of the ancient tree of eternal night."

"Explanation: It is an existence with a special sequence, to protect all living beings to improve self-strength—"

"When the world prospers, the power of the spirit of the ancient tree will become stronger; if all living beings wither, the power of the spirit of the ancient tree will weaken."

Liu Ping read it quickly.

It is definitely not easy to get such a title.

Even Lilith showed joy when she knew it was nearby.

and so--

It is naturally on the side of sentient beings and should be trustworthy.

Just as Liu Ping was thinking, he saw a book appearing in front of him.

This is a thick book with a black cover and a woody fragrance.

Then the voice of the spirit of the ancient tree sounded:
"Sixteen kinds of rules, such as insect resistance, element resistance, curse prohibition, and soul power absorption, are constant. This is the best book I have here. It is worthy of your outstanding talent, Lilith."

Lilith was already panicking.

"No, Liu Ping, this book is very expensive—very expensive! Really! It's not worth buying!" She stood on Liu Ping's shoulder and pulled his ear loudly.

"How to sell it?" Liu Ping asked.

"I've already calculated that you need [-]% of your wealth." The spirit of the ancient tree said.

"How do you know how much money I have?" Liu Ping asked.

"In Eternal Night, those who do business will of course have one or two unique skills." The spirit of the ancient tree said.

Okay, it's a deal.

Liu Ping took out a card and threw it out.

The card was still in the air and disappeared in an instant.

The voice of the spirit of the ancient tree became more and more friendly and gentle: "Money and goods are equal, and there is no return or exchange. As a bonus for buying the book, I will help Lilith complete the book spirit synchronization ceremony."

Clusters of long branches protrude from the old tree, circling around Kashu.

On each long branch, pieces of emerald green leaves faintly show runes emitting gentle light.

For a moment.

The center of the card book also gradually emitted light.

"Lilith, you have lost too much power, this time I will give you a helping hand to help you stabilize at the current level - you must never leave Kashu easily in the future." The spirit of the ancient tree said.

"It's too expensive." Lilith sobbed softly.

Liu Ping thought for a while, and his expression became serious.

He gently placed Lilith on the cover of the thick card book——

"Did you hear that? No refunds or exchanges."

He said.

Lilith waved her hands again and again, speechless.

Liu Pingdao: "I remember that we signed the Eternal Night Contract. As long as I save you, you must do your best to repay me once."

"Yes." Lilith nodded.

"As a book spirit, if you don't even have a card book, how can you help me find my companion with all your strength?" Liu Ping asked.

He handed the card book to Lilith.

The spirit of the ancient tree sighed, and said: "Don't let fate down, it needs a lot of strength to save a book spirit who has no books, Lilith, you have been silent for too long, you need to cheer up."

Lilith hesitated: "But I—"

The Spirit of the Ancient Tree interrupted her and said, "You were once excavated from a hidden place, but unfortunately the person who discovered you lost you to other card masters in the end. Are you afraid that this kind of thing will happen again? ?”

Lilith bit her lip and wiped her eyes with her hand.

"Then how about this, I can give you a contract - the kid next to you must continuously improve his strength in a short period of time, once his improvement speed is too slow, you can punish him, how about it?" said the spirit of the ancient tree.

"Don't!" Lilith yelled, and quickly said, "Don't restrict him!"

"Why?" said the spirit of the ancient tree.

"He has already saved my life and even gave me a card book. Why should he be restricted? It's not fair to him!" Lilith said.

She turned her head to look at Liu Ping, summoned up her courage and said, "Liu Ping, I am willing to help you as a card book, but if you lose me to others in the future, I would rather give up the card book and hide, never to appear again. Do you agree?"

never again—

For Shuling, leaving Kashu will continue to weaken and eventually disappear.

This is the true meaning of never again.

Liu Ping smiled and said, "I won't lose."

Lilith said mischievously: "Someone seems to have forgotten that we just escaped from two monsters."

Liu Ping said: "But we didn't lose—they never found us, didn't they?"

He went further: "In the future we will defeat them."

"Really?" Lilith was dubious.

"Don't worry, I never tell lies." Liu Ping assured.

The spirit of the ancient tree stared at Liu Ping with squinted eyes, and muttered in a subtly imperceptible voice: "Use the induction of all living beings to reveal its characteristics."

For a moment.

In the sight of the spirit of the ancient tree, an illusory arrow quietly emerged.

The arrow points to Liu Ping, and a small line of explanation pops up:
"King of Deceit."

"Explanation: He has deceived too many people, and he has also deceived devils, sleepers, and prisoners. Any existence, as long as one is not paying attention, will be fooled by him. He is a veritable king of fraud."

The spirit of the ancient tree was silent for a few breaths.

Never tell a lie?
this kid...

The spirit of the ancient tree murmured softly: "...It was a good thing to bring them together, why do I regret it..."

At this time Liu Ping noticed something, and asked suspiciously: "What did you say?"

The spirit of the ancient tree immediately said: "Ah, it's okay. I am very relieved to see that a card master without a card book and a book spirit without a card book have both been helped."

"Thank you for your help." Liu Ping said.

"Yes, thank you, I will cheer up this time!" Lilith said.

She landed in the middle of the card book.

The runes covered by the green leaves all around emit a faint flame, accompanied by the slightest resonance.

"It's now, Lilith!" said the spirit of the ancient tree.

Lilith nodded, and fell towards the book——

Her body was completely submerged in the card book, and only the outline of a girl was formed on the cover.

Around the girl, there are all kinds of dolls.

at the same time.

Lines of burning small characters suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes:
"You get a card book in the truest sense of the word."

"Attention, this is a card book with a book spirit. It is completely different from ordinary card books. It can be described as a difference between cloud and mud."

"Only when the book spirit tells you about her abilities, will you know all the information about this card book."

Lilith's voice suddenly appeared in the ear:

"Liu Ping, I have lost too much strength, and I am very weak now... It will take a long time to become stronger, can you accept it?"

"I'm just a level 7 card master, let's work hard together." Liu Ping smiled.

Lilith seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and continued: "Remember, the only ability I have left now is to absorb your soul power and manipulate the cards of death—just like manipulating a doll."

"How to define whether an existence is a card?" Liu Ping asked.

"This is very simple. In Eternal Night, all existences other than card masters are regarded as sentient beings by default, and sentient beings are cards." Lilith said as a matter of course.

Liu Ping sighed.

No wonder.

The vicious fruit can directly turn people into fruits.

The book of cracking souls can create endless magic ants.

It turns out that in Eternal Night, all living beings are fruits, ants, dolls, and everything else.

——This is where the rules on the mysterious side are the most ruthless.

He was thinking silently, and soon lines of small burning characters appeared in front of his eyes:
"Shu Ling told you his own secret."

"When you pay the corresponding soul power, this book can collect all dead cards and control them like a doll."

Liu Ping opened the card book.

Several cards on his body flew out automatically and landed steadily on the card book.

The borders of these cards turned black one after another, and complicated patterns appeared behind them, looking mysterious and noble.

Andrea noticed this change, and suddenly looked at Liu Ping from the card, and said in surprise: "The power of death... Liu Ping, have you obtained the card book of the death department?"

"Yes." Liu Ping said.

"It's really...unexpected..."

Andrea sighed, "Death-type card books are extremely rare, and each of them adheres to the mysterious rules of fate, so they won't show up easily, because they possess an extremely precious power."

"Is it turning people into dolls?" Liu Ping asked.

"Do not."

Andrea shook her head, looking at Lilith, her eyes were unclear.

Lilith looked at Andrea and whispered, "I guess she means soul fire."

"Soul fire?" Liu Ping spread his hands.

Lilith explained patiently: "In your deck, after any card is sacrificed, it will leave a ray of soul fire in my place. If you can find enough treasures, the card can be reborn - of course, It's very, very difficult, but it has more hope than ordinary cards."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that I have lost too much strength so far, so the name of my card book is temporarily: The Pair of Death."

Liu Ping was startled.

——The card book of the death department is so strong?

He couldn't help but look towards the spirit of the ancient tree.

The spirit of the ancient tree understood, nodded at him and said, "If it wasn't for Lilith, I wouldn't have given the book spirit synchronization ceremony easily."

At the same time, lines of burning small characters floated in the void again:
"You got the card book: Pair of Death."

"It has two capabilities."

"One: Death Doll (as previously stated);"

"Second: Soul Fire."

"Explanation: Each of your cards will leave a soul fire in the card book. After the real death, there will be a chance to be reborn."
