When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

Chapter 373: The Road to Becoming a King (Part VI)

When Li Shanren took the Amber Starlight back to find Servis, the guy was very excited. He took the materials and sent Li Shanren away, asking him to come back a day later.

Li Shanren left immediately and returned to the Yatan Plateau to continue his exploration.

A day later, when he came to see Servis again, the magic professor who was proficient in making puppets handed Li Shanren a bottle of amber potion, and told Li Shanren mysteriously and cautiously that this was a potion that could work on demigods, and bluntly asked Li Shanren to give it to the Moon Princess "Lani" to drink.

"For some reason, that cold doll is particularly interested in you. Even if it carries sin and fate, no matter what, inside that cold doll's body, there is just a fragile and cute girl. She will definitely believe you. Let her drink it, so that we can get an unprecedented puppet and enjoy her beauty to our heart's content... hehe..."

Servis said this, his treacherous voice revealing a hint of impatience.

After stealing the destined death, the Moon Princess "Rani" used the law of death to kill her own body. Currently, she lives in a puppet as a soul. The puppet looks like her former teacher "Snow Witch".

Therefore, Selvis would call Lani a "doll".

Li Shanren seemed to agree with Servis' plan. After accepting the bottle of amber potion, he went to the magician's tower of Renee and met with Princess Renee, who used several books to cushion the chair so that she could sit as high as possible. Then he gave Renee the "Hunting Finger Knife" he got in the Eternal City of Nokron.

He confiscated the bottle of "amber potion" and would use it to cheat someone he disliked.

The bottle of puppet potion that was not given to Nefeli was also intended for this purpose.

After wandering in a foreign world for a year, Li Shanren has gradually become a little wilted.

However, he did not tell Lani about selling out Saltvis, because Lani knew the magic professor's little thoughts very well. Once the hunting finger knife was obtained, Saltvis would be dead.

Mr. Li was very generous and didn't bother with a dead person.

After getting the important items she needed, Lani said that Li Shanren's mission had been completed, and she would leave the magician's tower and walk her own dark path alone. At the same time, she gave Li Shanren a wooden statue that looked like an hourglass as a thank you gift.

This wooden sculpture is called "Inverted Statue of Kalia". Placing it on the base of the planetarium in Kalia's study can activate the internal mechanism, turning the interior of the entire tower upside down, thus opening the way to the Divine Tower in the Lienia region.

According to the geographical division, the God-granted Tower in the Lienia region should belong to Ranie, but Ranie abandoned her Great Rune and no one knows where it is.

However, at the top of the Tower of Divine Bestowal is the dead body of Lani. When a demigod dies for the first time, a corresponding curse mark will be engraved. If both the soul and the body die, the curse mark should be a circular centipede ring, but in the case of Lani, only the body died and the soul survived.

Therefore, she only had half the curse mark on her body.

Corresponding to this is the Golden Prince Godwin, whose soul is dead but whose body is still alive, and he also has half the mark of the death curse on his body.

If the two halves of the curse could be pieced together, a mysterious Great Rune could be pieced together, but the Great Rune created in this way was not orthodox, and under the Golden Law, it could even be considered treason.

If it is used to repair the Elden Ring, the age of the Deadborn will begin.

After saying goodbye to Lani, Li Shanren went to Kalia's study. After getting the inverted statue, he explored the other side of the study very smoothly, climbed up the divine tower in the Lienia area, and took half of the death curse mark on Lani's body.

When he returned to Lani's magician tower again, the Moon Princess had disappeared.

Servis also died in his own magician's tower. Li Shanren reluctantly helped him collect his body and took away all the valuable things on his body.

It is worth mentioning that Servis is actually a puppet, and the "he" in the magician is not his real body.

His real body is in a secret room in the Kalia Castle. It is an old Platinum Son who is hunched over and lying on the ground. He has a humble character and is as timid as a mouse. His name is "Bidi". He claims to be a servant of the Kalia royal family and is responsible for arranging the dolls there.

In fact, the "doll" he mentioned is actually a puppet.

When Servis died, Biddy's puppet betrayed him and hacked him to death.

When Li Shanren went to the secret little room, he could faintly hear Biddy's screams before his death, and he painfully asked the puppets to spare his life.

If Li Shanren had given Nefeli the puppet potion before, he would have found "Nefeli" who had been made into puppet ashes on Biddy's body. This would be irrefutable evidence that Selvis and Biddy were the same person.

It is not known whether the betrayal of Biddi's puppet was caused by Lani, but considering Lani's character and methods, this is very likely.

After all, she was one of the masterminds who stole the Death Rune and planned the Night of the Black Knife. Lani had to bear at least a considerable part of the responsibility for the border area becoming what it is today.

If the Golden Prince "Godwin" had not died in the Night of Black Knife, even if the Elden Ring was broken, the border area would not be in such a dilapidated state. As the legitimate successor to the Golden Law, he has the ability and courage to subdue the other demigods and repair the ring.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that, as the most solid barrier of the Golden Rule, Godwin must die.

Having said that, there are still many doubts about Lani stealing the "Death Rune".

For example, the real purpose of Lani stealing the Death Rune was simply to kill her own body in order to get rid of the shackles of the Golden Law. She and her "half-brother" did not actually have much hatred, so it was difficult to find a motive for the murder.

Moreover, the Death Rune is guarded by the "Black Sword" Malikus, the sworn brother of the Eternal Queen Marika. Even before the Golden Law ruled the border area, he had the ability to defeat a god and seize the Law of Death from him.

Even though Lani is a demigod, it is hard to imagine that she could steal the Death Rune on her own without alerting Malicus.

But...what if Lani has help?

And that must be an extraordinary helper, able to influence Malikus, who is comparable to a god.

......

Behind the Kalia Castle, in addition to the Magician's Tower of Lani and the Magician's Tower of Servis, there is a third unmanned Magician's Tower called "Rena's Magician's Tower"

"Lena" is the name of Lani's teacher, the Snow Witch. When Lani met Li Shanren for the first time, she used the pseudonym "Lena" and gave the Soul Summoning Bell to Li Shanren.

There is a saying that "Leina" is most likely a pseudonym for the Full Moon Queen "Leinala", that is, the Snow Witch and the Full Moon Queen are the same person, but there is not much evidence to support this statement.

Reina's magician tower was locked tightly by some kind of solid seal until it was lifted after Lani disappeared.

Li Shanren went to the top floor of Rena's Magician Tower and found a teleportation array there.

Through the teleportation array, he came to a new underground area - the Ansel River Basin. Previously, the underground area where the Eternal City of Noklong was located was the Xifu Lahe Basin. These two rivers are the two mainstream underground rivers in the underground world.

Rumor has it that in the two river basins, there are still remnants of civilization from before the Golden Tree Age.

The opposite side of the teleportation array seemed to be the source of the Ansel River. The river was very shallow, and there were many night-dew hepatobilis emitting faint starlight, and even scattered cemetery lilies of the valley growing on both sides.

Li Shanren followed the flow of the river and soon found an exquisite little doll the size of a palm in a sarcophagus without a coffin on the side of the road.

The doll looked exactly like Lani, lifeless, yet gave people a sense of coldness.

If ordinary people saw it, they might think it was just an ordinary doll, but in fact... this is Lani's current form, a delicate and cute petite doll, and its official name is also called "Petite Lani".

When Li Shanren picked up the petite Lani, she pretended to be just an ordinary doll and didn't make any movement.

After Li Shanren had tested the doll several times, Lani spoke reluctantly.

She thought it was a shame to be seen in her current form, and that Lee Sun-in's act of forcing her to show up brought shame to "Witch Lani," so she asked Lee Sun-in to help her get rid of the "shadow of disaster" wandering in this underground river basin, which was a "task that could not be refused."

Li Shanren did not refuse this request. He put the petite Lani on his shoulders and took her to explore this underground river area.

There are many high-level Lingyi Cemetery Lily of the Valley in this area. After Li Shanren collected them all, he immediately returned to the Round Table Hall and strengthened the legendary urn "Bionic Teardrop" to the extreme.

At this point, Li Shanren has his first full-level bone soul in his hand, and the strength of this bone soul is linked to his body. Even if it is upgraded to the full level, it still has great potential for growth.

The difference from the game is that the vitality of the full-level "Bionic Teardrop" is still ten times that of Li Shanren, but the attack strength is the same as Li Shanren, and may even be higher.

The most important thing is that the full-level bionic teardrop can completely mimic the three "unique" equipment on Li Shanren - the holy grail bottle, the storage bag, and... the soul-summoning bell.

The bionic teardrop's holy grail bottle is no longer limited to just one sip, the capacity of the holy grail bottle is the same as the one on Li Shanren.

In addition, the storage bag of the bionic teardrop is connected to Li Shanren's storage bag. It can take out various equipment from it and use it by itself. It can also freely use some consumables with recovery or enhancement effects.

However, the consumables used by the bionic teardrop will not be actually consumed. It may have mimicked the same consumables for its own use.

Finally, the bionic teardrop can use the soul-summoning bell, but it cannot summon a new "bionic teardrop" because the soul-summoning bell it mimics is essentially still connected to Li Shanren's soul-summoning bell, and it is impossible to create a new "bionic teardrop" out of nothing.

However, other soul ashes can be summoned, although only one type of ashes can be summoned.

The souls of ashes summoned by the bionic teardrops still obey Li Shanren.

With these powerful mimicry abilities combined, Li Shanren is currently unable to predict the combat capabilities of the bionic teardrop, but there is no doubt that it must be stronger than Li Shanren's original body with pure combat instincts.

After all, Li Shanren's talent in fighting was not actually top-notch, and he was unable to fully demonstrate his strength.

With the bionic teardrop as his companion, Li Shanren's exploration journey went very smoothly. In the place where ashes could be summoned, he basically didn't have to do anything himself.

Directly summon the Bionic Teardrop, and then the Bionic Teardrop will instinctively summon the most powerful ash other than itself - Storm Guard, followed by a righteous group fight.

Li Shanren was amazed by the bionic teardrop's fighting style.

That guy was not particular about magic and melee combat, when he was far away from the enemy, he would fire pyroxene magic crazily, and when he got close, he would add various melee buffs to himself as quickly as possible, and then he would take out a two-handed giant sword for melee combat, relying on his soul and body that would not be affected by most negative effects, he would fight without caring about his life at all, which was quite brave.

For some reason, this guy didn't seem to like using the famous sword Yueyin that Li Shanren often used, but preferred extra-large weapons. Therefore, Li Shanren returned to the Round Table Hall halfway and asked the blacksmith Xiu Gu to strengthen a giant sword called "Giant Sword".

Great Sword (Blood Transformation)

It can use Li Shanren's Spirit Shield Jade Ring, and even mastered the local protection technique of the Spirit Shield shield without any instruction, that is, concentrating the shield in a small area, thereby greatly improving the shield's protective ability.

Li Shanren also knows this technique, but it is too brain-intensive. He has to move the position of the shield at any time according to the direction of the enemy's attack, which is not as convenient as directly covering the whole body.

But the bionic teardrop hand is used so skillfully that often after a battle, the enemy cannot even touch the corner of its clothes under the protection of the spirit shield.
