Miss Witch, please respect yourself

Chapter 141 The original sin Rubik's Cube changes again! ([-]-word chapter, please subscribe)

"Sisi..."

Strands of black mist from the evaporation of black blood reflected Roy, who was wearing the armor of the sinking moon, like a god and a demon.

"Chong."

The bright silver long knife returned to its sheath, and the fiercely burning red gold fighting spirit fire gradually extinguished.

Looking at the hideous figure in the middle of the messy battlefield, Vicente only felt a chill in his heart.

These two monsters!

Even the weakest snow giant bear is a few chips stronger than the average gold one-star, not to mention the pitch-black giant tiger that appeared behind. The weird black flame endowed it with a super power far surpassing the gold two-star and comparable to three-star. Strong combat effectiveness.

But it was two such terrifying monsters that died in the hands of the black silver armor knight in front of him in less than ten seconds.

This kind of strength is at least three gold stars, or even the pinnacle!

As for the legend, Vicente never thought of this possibility.

When the legend appeared, there was no need to make a move at all, the field expanded, and the two monsters couldn't even move, they could only wait to be killed.

Who is he? !
When did such a strong man appear in Rafah Province?
On the other side, Roy, who had killed the monster's pitch-black giant tiger, didn't pay attention to the red knight beside him. He lowered his head and stared at a black flame in his hand, his eyes flashed with thought.

The black giant tiger behind him is collapsing and destroying due to the disappearance of vitality, soul power and energy, turning into black sand all over the ground, and this black flame is just before Roy killed the pitch black giant tiger. "Collect" from it and use its own battle energy to maintain its existence.

This black flame is extremely peculiar.

Even though Roy wasn't its owner and was using an external source of grudge, it didn't go out immediately.

It seems that it doesn't care who the "fuel" is at all.

Because of the loss of the fire source, its vitality is gradually decreasing, but the speed is very slow. Roy estimates that if he continues to supply fighting energy, this black flame can burn for at least a day.

"Interesting stuff..."

A slight arc was drawn at the corner of Roy's mouth.

The magic property of the black flame is very unique. It has a certain kind of strong "corrosion" to life and non-life. As long as it is burned by it, it will turn gray and white as if it has lost its "life".

Such a destructive magic attribute cannot be bred naturally.

Moreover, it is not completely impossible for two monsters to get together, but the probability is very small.

Warcraft is the king of ferocious animals. In a group of ferocious animals, there can only be one Warcraft.

Because there is only one leader position.

The two monsters besieged the Scarlet Knight together, and knew how to ambush and sneak attack...Combined with this kind of magical power of destructive attributes that had never been seen before, an idea came to Roy's mind.

This winter's beast tide, I'm afraid it will be very lively.

Mechanical colonization, black flames, monsters who know how to cooperate...

"Tsk..."

Shaking his head, Roy took out the box containing high-purity magic crystals and extremely strong energy barrier that he had obtained from Lord Denham's treasury in Iron Mountain, and put a high-purity magic crystal in it, and then After "transplanting" the black flame to it, and after confirming that the black flame could "continue" normally, he then moved his gaze to the golden scarlet knight beside him.

Sensing Roy's gaze, Vicente's body froze instinctively. This was the instinctive reaction of creatures when encountering beings far stronger than themselves—in nature, when weak creatures encounter irresistible beasts, they sometimes Choose to play dead, because the beast sees the suddenly "dead" prey, and cannot determine the cause of death (for fear of poisoning), unless it is extremely hungry, it will not choose to eat it, and the weak creature can escape by this.

This instinct also extends to human beings as higher animals, engraved deep in the genes.

Seeing the black and silver armored knight approaching step by step, Vicente took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Although his strength is far inferior to the opponent, but as a member of the Scarlet Knights, his background is his greatest reliance.

"My lord, what should I call you? I am the deputy head of the Scarlet Knights, Vicente. I will remember your life-saving grace in my heart, and I will repay you in the future. At the same time, you can also go to the Wall of Stone , His Excellency the Duke once issued an order that anyone who is kind to the Scarlet Knights can get a generous reward." Vicente saluted a knight respectfully and said.

Roy shook his head, did not answer his identity, but said in a low voice deliberately: "There is no need for material rewards, Mr. Vicente, I want to ask you something."

"Please tell me." Vicente looked serious.

"I would like to know, since the beginning of winter, how many cases of monsters have occurred in Rafah Province? What are their specific movements?"

Hearing the question from the person in front of him, Vicente heaved a sigh of relief. The person in front of him was his savior. If he asked something related to the secrets of the Duke's mansion, it would be difficult for him to answer, and the current question is naturally not in the "confidential" category. He was one of them, so he smiled happily and said, "I happen to be quite clear about these two issues, and I can provide you with some information, hoping to bring you some help."

"The original Warcraft event actually appeared before winter came."

"It was a viscounty territory called 'Anji Land' on the border of Rafah Province. A wolf-like monster was rampant, causing heavy casualties."

"Up to now, there have been a total of 8 monster incidents in Rafah Province. Our case has not caused too much damage because of the short distance and timely discovery, but other places..."

Vicente didn't elaborate, but his heavy expression said it all.

The gold rank, even if it's just one star of gold, can become a "deputy regiment" level existence in the Scarlet Knights under the duke's command.In the province of Rafah, apart from the border duke, the biggest nobles are the three viscounts, and only one of the three viscounts is gold, and the other two are even at the peak of silver.

In the Glory Empire, strength does not completely equal title.Except that the Legendary Realm can directly become an "Honorary Earl" regardless of any conditions, others, even the Golden Peak, need enough merit or contribution to become a nobleman.

What's more, small nobles with territories may not necessarily live more comfortably than relying on big nobles. All kinds of cultivation resources are scarce, and everything needs to be considered and coordinated by themselves, so some extraordinary knights don't really want to become nobles.

A bit too far.

Back on topic.

The strength of monsters is the weakest with a gold star, and because of their huge size, they are often stronger than knights of the same rank. The gold-strength viscount in Rafah province has not fought for a long time, and his real combat power must be discounted. , it is not necessarily the opponent of Warcraft, so the Golden Knights who crusade against Warcraft are basically Golden Knights in the Red Knights who have been fighting all the year round and have strong combat effectiveness.

From receiving the message to the arrival of the red knight, no matter how fast it is, it will take a certain amount of time, and in this amount of time, the monsters are enough to cause a lot of damage.

Hearing Vicente's words, Roy stared slightly.

In just two days of winter this year, there have been 8 monster incidents... and the earliest one has appeared before winter...

The demon tide that erupted in Star Lake had such a far-reaching impact!
"By the way, about your second question, the movements of these monsters..." Vicente took out a roll of map from the space ring in his hand and unfolded it while speaking.

The map is not big, just the size of a normal A3 paper. It clearly depicts the territorial divisions of the entire Lafah Province. Among them, 8 places are marked with "red crosses" and serial numbers are marked on the side.

"Look, the red cross on this map is the place where the World of Warcraft incident happened, and the serial number on one side is the sequence of the incident."

Roy looked at the map carefully.

The province of Rafah is very large, with nearly a hundred large and small territories, and the Blackstone Territory and Iron Mountain Territory are located at the lower part of the map, close to the southern border.

On the whole, the places where the World of Warcraft incidents occurred are all places far away from the Blackstone Territory. Except for the case of the Green Grass Territory, most of them are located on the northern border of the Rafah Province.

This distribution made Roy a little confused.

Logically speaking, isn't it true that the closer you are to the outbreak point of the Xinghu Lake, the higher the probability of the birth of monsters? Why is it that monsters first appeared in the northern territory, which is far away?As for the Black Stone Collar itself, except for a ferocious animal that appeared some time ago, no monsters were born.

I don't understand.

Hard to understand.

Or, some key information that I don't know yet?
Roy suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and nodded to the red knight Vicent in front of him: "Thank you for the information."

"Then, I'll take my leave."

After leaving these words, Roy turned around and walked into the distance.

Seeing the retreating figure of the black-silver armored knight, Vicente stretched out his hand, wanting to say something, but in the end, he sighed and said nothing.

If possible, he would like to invite the other party to join the Scarlet Knights. Although the Duke has a lot of talents, the number of Golden Knights is still scarce. This winter is extremely difficult. Animal disasters broke out everywhere, and manpower is stretched.

But thinking of the family emblem on the opponent's armor that was deliberately concealed by the brilliance of fighting spirit, and knowing that the opponent already has a loyal family, he couldn't say what he invited anyway.

That was insulting the honor of the opponent's knight.

"Ugh……"

Sighing, Vicente turned and left.

He's returning to the Wall of Stone to return.

……

In the safflower forest, under the shade of a safflower tree, two witches, Roy, Lilia, and Tonine, standing in the shadows, watched Vicente leave quietly until he was no longer in sight. Looking at his back, the three of them looked away.

The reason why he didn't leave was because when Roy and the two witches met just now, Toninie said, "From the body of the monster's pitch-black giant tiger, I felt a wave similar to 'mechanical colonization'."

This is how the three of them are invisible now.

Walking out of the shadows, Roy looked at the black ash all over the ground where the body of the pitch-black giant tiger had turned into, and looked at Toninie with some embarrassment: "Miss Toninie, can you still track down the clues in this situation?"

The situation was urgent just now, and Vicente was about to die from the claws of the giant pitch-black tiger, so Roy rushed up immediately after putting on the armor of the sinking moon. Who would have thought that the giant pitch-black tiger would actually be with the "machine colony" There are relationships.

Tonine nodded, and said in a mechanical and flat voice: "Yes."

"This fluctuation similar to 'mechanical colonization' is very special. Although it is already very weak, I can barely sense its migration route."

"But the volatility is waning and needs to be acted on soon."

"You lead the way." Hearing this, Roy breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.

Tonine raised her hand, and the white bandage wrapped around her fingers loosened a little, revealing a silver-white mechanical palm.

She stretched out her index finger and middle finger, and the fingertips were filled with silver magic light, as if she was sensing something. After a few seconds, she raised her footsteps and walked quickly towards the north.

Roy and Lilia looked at each other, nodded slightly, and followed Tonine's footsteps.

……

Walking all the way for about an hour, Roy reckoned that the three of them had jumped over at least five territories, and Tonine, who was leading the way, slowed down.

After being promoted to the gold rank, Roy's memory became better and better. He just watched Vicente's map of Lafah Province for a short time, and he memorized the content in it. It can be reproduced.

According to the distance estimation, the three people's current location should be dozens of kilometers north of Luyin collar, in a baronial collar called "Bronze Heart Collar".

Roy knows very little about the Copper Heart Collar. He only knows that there are rich copper mines here, and he doesn't know much about the others.

What appeared in front of the three of them was a huge dense forest, with an average tree height of 40 meters. The lush branches and leaves completely covered the sunlight, making another world under the trees.

The rotten leaves were mixed with countless things, forming a sticky black mud, and the slippery feeling when stepped on made Roy frown.

There is a faint unpleasant smell in the air, and in the depths of the dark dense forest, it seems like an invisible gaping mouth, waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net.

Roy looked at Tonine, who said, "It should be in this dense forest."

"Be careful, everyone put up the shields." Roy said in a deep voice.

This kind of juncture is not the time to save grudge or magic power.

Under the leadership of Toni Nie, the three people who put up the shield continued to go deep into the dense forest.

"Quack-quack-quack-"

In the dense forest with extremely poor visibility, crows could be heard faintly in the distance. As the distance deepened, the rancid smell in the air became more intense, and even bones began to pile up on the ground.

There are more and more cold white bones, denser and denser, as if a period of time ago, a large number of creatures living in this dense forest were brutally slaughtered, their flesh and blood merged into the underground mud, and their bones were thrown away at will, which is very frightening shocking.

Roy flicked his fingers, and a wisp of vindictiveness flew out from his fingertips and landed on a white bone.

The moment the grudge came into contact with the white bones, the seemingly complete bones shattered into powder in an instant.

It seems that the material supporting its existence has long since disappeared, and what remains in the world is only the last fragile form.

"It really is a giant black tiger..."

Roy condensed his voice.

The substance burned by the black flame will show such a property change.

After a simple small experiment, the three of them continued to go deeper in the dense forest, and after about twenty minutes, they stopped in front of a cave.

Along the way, none of the three encountered even a living creature.

The edge of the cave is covered with vines, and there is a faint choking wind flowing out of it.

Roy glanced at Lilia, who understood, raised his hand, and a liquid-like black mist flowed down from the edge of the palm and merged into the ground, forming a slowly rotating complex summoning circle.

Soon, a giant shadow wolf was summoned by Lilia.

This giant shadow wolf is not "Fenrir", but a giant shadow wolf under Lilia's temporary contract.

After all, it is impossible to let familiar contracted creatures do the work similar to "death squads".

Under Lilia's order, the giant shadow wolf merged into the shadows and headed towards the interior of the cave. Lilia, who was standing outside the cave, squinted slightly, observing the situation inside the cave through the sight of the giant shadow wolf. .

In less than a minute, Lilia opened her eyes, with strong astonishment remaining in her eyes, as if she had seen some kind of scene that shocked her very much.

"What did you find?" Roy asked quickly in a low voice.

"I don't know what to say." Lilia frowned, a little distressed: "Master Roy, I think you should go in and see for yourself to be more intuitive."

"You can go in with confidence, there are no living things inside."

"Go." Without hesitation, Roy stepped into it and walked through the deep passage, but the stench in the air became weaker and weaker than expected. In the end, it almost disappeared, as if there was another one in the depths of the cave. The vent vents some of the smell out.

With the help of the light brought by the burning vindictive flames in their hands, the three of Roy finally reached the deepest part of the cave. As far as they could see, Roy's eyes were shocked, and even Toni, who had always been indifferent, Nirvana, there were also violent fluctuations.

The deepest part of the cave made of earth and rocks is a space covered with silver-white metal walls. Broken metal instruments are scattered on the ground. At the edge, there is a huge metal cage with a length, height, and width of five meters.

The metal pillars of the cage twisted and deformed enormously, as if some kind of monster used brutal violence to tear it apart from the inside.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is that in the center of the silver metal space, there is a tree-like crack that looks semi-illusory and fixed in mid-air.

One after another, the magic power flows out from this portal, making the magic power concentration in this silver-white space very high.

And the reason why these magic powers did not overflow from the cave is because above the silver-white metal space, a special method was used to cut through the mountain body, forming a small passage leading to the mountain peak, and it is from this small upward passage that the magic power flows to the outside world .

"This is, a small magical pulse point?!"

Roy's voice was full of astonishment.

Toninie walked to the pile of scattered debris, took out two nameplates, and said to Roy: "This is a temporary base for the spy team of the Kolai Empire. This is their identity plate."

Roy took the nameplate, and the characters on it had been corroded beyond recognition, and even the nameplate itself was pitted.

"It seems that this is the place where the giant pitch-black tiger was born."

Looking around, Roy, who found nothing extra, frowned, staring at the semi-illusory gap in mid-air.

Judging from the current situation.

Before the dark giant tiger mutated into a monster, it should have been captured by two spy members of the Kolai Empire and locked in a metal cage here.

And Tonine can feel the fluctuation of "mechanical colonization" from the pitch-black giant tiger, which shows that the pitch-black giant tiger was implanted with the "mechanical colonization core" by two spies.

And later, for some unknown reason, the giant pitch-black tiger suddenly alienated into a monster. It tore open the cage and destroyed the laboratory. Even two spies of the Kolai Empire were killed by the black flames under its anger. It was burned to ashes, and then the giant pitch-black tiger left the cave, slaughtering all creatures in the dense forest.

After that, we don't know, only know that at the end, it and the monster Snow Bear ambushed the golden red knight Vicente.

It is not difficult to deduce the general direction of the incident, but the key point is, why did the dark giant tiger suddenly change into a monster?And why does this small magical pulse point appear here?
The mutation of the pitch-black giant tiger must have been sudden and hasty, otherwise, the two spies from the Collet Empire would not have been unable to escape.

Normally, the transformation of a ferocious animal into a monster does not happen overnight, it requires a process, and such a process will definitely be observed by two spies from the Collet Empire to prevent it.

Judging from the current remnants, the giant black tiger seems to have evolved from a ferocious animal to a monster in an instant and without warning, so that two spies of the Kolai Empire who were too late to prepare were killed here.

The mutation of the pitch-black giant tiger is so strange, there must be an incentive.

And the biggest weirdness of this silver-white metal space is this semi-illusory crack that continuously dissipates magic power.

Roy walked forward slowly, preparing to take a closer look at the semi-illusory crack.

The continuous gushing magic power blows the dou qi shield on his body surface and continuously produces fine ripples.

And when Roy was only one meter away from this semi-illusory crack, his expression was shocked, and shock appeared in his eyes.

He raised his hand, ready to touch the translucent gap.Seeing his actions, Lilia on the side couldn't help but say, "Lord Roy, be careful!"

"It's okay." Lilia's voice made Roy's raised hand pause. He turned his head and shook his head at Lilia.

After turning around again, Roy looked at the gray character panel in front of him that only he could see.

-

[Detected "[Laziness magic source] - heterogeneous branch magic power" item...]

【Is it absorbed? (Zero-distance contact is required, current distance: 1 meter)]

-

The character panel of [Original Sin Rubik's Cube], except for Roy's active summoning, currently only actively jumps out in two situations.

One is when the progress of the energy reserve reaches 100% and the talent awakens.

The second is when the fluctuation of the taboo is perceived.

Right now, there is no doubt that it is the latter.

And one meter away... There is only one "special thing" that is one meter away from him right now, and that is the semi-illusory gap in front of him!
In this semi-illusory gap, that is, in the "small magic pulse point", there is a taboo?

"Miscellaneous branch magic", that is, a C-level taboo at the same level as "Cursed Doll"?

Roy's heart was filled with uncontrollable shock.

The existence of taboos made him full of doubts—is this "small magic pulse point" really formed naturally?Or is it man-made?

If it was man-made, what was his purpose in doing so?
Is there only one "small magic pulse point" like this, or are there more?
At this moment, Roy can basically conclude that the transformation of the dark giant tiger into a monster is inseparable from this "small magic pulse point"!

After all, even the Blackstone Territory, which is the closest to the explosion point of the Star Lake Demon Tide, has not yet produced monsters. In other territories that are farther away, it is reasonable to say that the birth of monsters will only be later, not like this. One after another was born earlier.

In this way, is there such a "small magic pulse point" that hides taboos in the territories where the other seven World of Warcraft incidents took place?
There were more and more questions, and the seemingly simple World of Warcraft incident became complicated and confusing in Roy's eyes.

"call……"

Roy took a deep breath and suppressed his thoughts.

What is the specific situation, we will know when he goes to investigate one by one later.

Now, let's absorb this C-rank taboo first.

When Roy's fingers touched the translucent gap, the expected attraction like touching the entrance of the Star Lake magic pulse point space did not come. He felt as if his fingers were touching the air, and the reality before his eyes The gap presented seems to exist in a different dimension from him.

This familiar way of existence made Roy frowned.

In the past, under the star lake, the entrance of the "Magic Locking Array" set up by the temple that sealed the space of the magic pulse points, is such a similar way of existence!
Could it be that behind the "small magic pulse point" is also related to the temple?

After the Moonlight Witch Cecil incident, the temple did not take any action. After a long time, Roy thought they had given up. Unexpectedly, at this moment, they discovered something related to the temple.

This time, what role does the temple play behind the scenes?
Shaking his head, Roy stopped thinking about it. Without more information, he couldn't make an accurate judgment.

But now, since he couldn't touch the "small magic pulse point", he could only directly absorb the taboo.

It is true that he does not know any knowledge about formations. Facing the strange formation of "Magic Locking Formation", he has not yet reached the legendary state, and he cannot use his strength to forcibly smash it, so as to take out the hidden taboos inside. , but he has [Original Sin Rubik's Cube]!

This "strange thing" that accompanied him to this world, until now, Roy could not speculate on the upper limit of its power level.

"absorb!"

Roy's mind exerted a little force on the "Absorption" on the gray character panel in front of him, and in the next moment, his finger that was in contact with the translucent gap was invisible, and a powerful attraction that others could not detect was produced.

A palm-sized object was forcibly pulled out from the translucent slit. Before Roy could see its specific appearance, it shrank rapidly and finally merged into Roy's fingers.
