The Trial Game of Life

Overseer Roger Reed.

Tang Cuo remembered this name. He was mentioned on the small blackboard of the "Dodo Daily" and the office of the Ivy League in the Moon Hidden Country. Perhaps he was one of the thirteen arbitrators.

In this way, there is a reason for Theodore to bring the Archduke to the church-because Roger Reid is here.

A magician who can cast magic instantly, and this magic does not seem to be a low-level magic, his strength must be very strong.The Grand Duke also showed a relaxed expression because of this, Tang Cuo withdrew his sword, protected him to avoid the side, and continued to watch the battle.

It can be seen that most of Roger Reid's magic is of the light type. When the brilliance of magic shines, it seems that all shadows will be invisible, and it comes with a holy light buff.

The enemies appearing on the steeple of the church are wearing red robes and hoods so that their faces cannot be seen clearly, and they are mysterious.The red robes are as red as blood and roses.

As soon as he made a move, his style was extremely obvious.

That could roughly be called a rose bomb.

Rose Bomb, as the name suggests, the magic circle that suddenly appeared on the ground was engraved with patterns of roses, the golden light suddenly appeared, and those patterns peeled off from the magic circle as if they were alive, like flowers blooming, and then exploded suddenly.

"Bang!" The people who rushed out of the church were almost blown off their feet.

These people are probably from the Ivy League, there are magicians and swordsmen, and they dress in different styles.And from the various windows of the church, there are also black robes wearing the same style as the assassin.

There was a fierce fight between the two sides.

The rose bombs seemed to be in a chain, one after another superimposed on each other, spreading all the way from the church door to Roger Reed's feet.Roger Reid's expression was cold, and he cast a long string of spells, pointing forward with his cane, and the dark light fell like stars.

The black light spot fell on the stretched petals of the rose, and the rose withered immediately.

Dual system of light and dark.

Tang Cuo once again refreshed his judgment on Roger Reed's strength. The red robe opposite him can fight Roger Reed, and his strength should not be underestimated.He is also wearing the only red robe, which should be the core figure of the Rose Sect.

Just why did they fight in the church in Baiye District?Shouldn't the focus today be on the Grand Duke, or did they expect that the Grand Duke would be forced to the White Leaf District?

Tang Cuo observed everything and doubted everything.

Soon, the people from the Ivy League gained the upper hand, and the guards from the White Leaf District finally arrived late.Seeing that the situation was not good, the red robe snorted coldly, and finally waved back.

Naturally, Roger Reid would not let him go easily and chased after him.

"Theodore!" The other members of the Ivy League stayed behind, and one of them waved quickly when he saw Tang Cuo.

Tang Cuo then took the Grand Duke there.He is not a good actor, and he doesn't know their names at all. In order to avoid cheating, he kept his aloofness to the greatest extent.

Fortunately, Theodore seemed to be an aloof person. Everyone welcomed the Grand Duke in. The one who waved his hand just now took the initiative to ask, "Why did you bring the Grand Duke here? Aren't you in the inner city?"

Tang Cuo briefly explained the plot.

Hearing the authenticity, the other party was thoughtful, and then said: "When Lord Roger Reed comes back, he will make a decision. As for the bard you mentioned, we may meet later. "

Although Lancelot saved the Grand Duke, why he knew the authenticity still needs to be confirmed.

During the conversation, Tang Cuo knew that the other party was called Celtic, and he was an orthodox knight like Theodore.Then he opened the system panel and took a look.

【Moon Hidden Kingdom】

Ring Two: The Song of the Wind

Mainline: Talk to Roger Reed

Roger Reed hadn't come back yet, so he could only wait. At this time, the Grand Justice stood alone in the church, facing a figure kneeling in a pool of blood, silent.

The kneeling man was wearing a moon-white priest robe. If Tang Cuo guessed correctly, he was the one whom the Grand Duke said he was willing to believe in.

Tang Cuo stepped forward, but didn't speak. He put one hand on the hilt of his sword like a silent knight.

The Grand Duke was dressed in coarse cloth, and when he looked closely, every wrinkle on his face seemed to be filled with suffering.But this suffering is solemn, wordless and silent.

It is always impossible to tell when an admirable friend abandoned his faith.

Celtic said that the pastor had defected to the Rosary sect and that he was involved in today's assassination.Originally, the Ivy League's attention was indeed focused on the inner city, but His Excellency Roger Reed keenly noticed the abnormality here, so he urgently dispatched manpower to encircle and suppress the Rose Sect.

The red-robed mage is a priest of the Rose Sect.The bishop in white robes, the priest in red robes, and the ordinary congregants in black robes.

After a long time, the Grand Duke put one hand on his chest, and extended his last greetings to the dead priest.He didn't lose his voice to question, didn't cry bitterly, just like he was so calm when he saw the suffering of all beings.

Tang Cuo thought of Jin Cheng. They agreed to meet at the church in an hour, but now that the hour had passed, Jin Cheng was still missing.

Did he trigger another plot?

Tang Cuo's guess was right, Jin Cheng did trigger another plot, and it was another sub-plot.After experiencing the 99 serial side missions in the Moon Hidden Kingdom, Jin Cheng's scalp tingles when he sees the side missions, but this one is different.

Its reward item is clearly marked in the mission description, and it is called - Fragment of Movement.

movement?

Is it the twelve movements, or the movements of Lancelot?Or are both the same thing?

How could Jin Cheng let go of this opportunity, even if he was asked to do another 99 serial tasks, it was impossible for him to give up.Moreover, there is a time limit for this branch line, which should be the time reserved for the branch line on the premise of "not delaying the main storyline".

The name of the side mission - the unfinished painting.

Trigger location - a remote backstreet 5 minutes away from the tavern.

At that time, Jin Cheng was being hunted down by people from the tavern, and with his bow and arrow sealed, he didn't want to fight the natives with just a small harp.So he was just straight up, and he was chic, and he ran chicly when he turned around. The consequence of being too chic was that he accidentally bumped into someone else at the funeral.

Two ferocious men were carrying corpses wrapped in straw mats. When Jin Cheng bumped into them, the corpses rolled down from the straw mats, and the side mission was triggered.

The scene was awkward for a while.

Jin Cheng immediately sent the two strong men to sleep with a requiem song, and then squatted down to examine the corpse.The corpse was a young woman, wearing scantily clad clothes and low-quality makeup. She was not considered beautiful, and there were many bruises on her body, but no specific cause of death could be seen.

The task required Jin Cheng to finish her unfinished painting, and the time limit was one hour, but Jin Cheng didn't even know who she was, and the only person who knew her fell asleep again.

At this time, the pursuers had arrived, so Jin Cheng had no choice but to retreat first, slipped around and came back, and the two strong men also woke up.The two cursed angrily, wanted to hit someone but couldn't find the instigator, so they had to pick up the corpse and continue walking.

Jin Cheng originally wanted to tie people up to ask about the situation, but after a second thought, he quietly followed behind them.

The people in Baiye District seem to have gotten used to the fact that someone is carrying a dead body through the city in broad daylight.There was only numbness on people's faces. Occasionally, some people showed sympathy and sorrowful eyes, and they quickly moved away.

Jin Cheng followed all the way, and finally saw them enter a yard with a wooden cart parked at the door.

Coincidentally, there was also a corpse covered with a straw mat on the wooden cart, and the middle-aged man pulling the cart was bargaining with a man with a mustache and well-combed hair.

"Sir, please give me another five copper coins. Although my father is old, he has always been in good health. He has never suffered from any serious illness until his death. This is very rare in the White Leaf District."

"But he's old."

"Five copper coins may not mean much to you, but it will fill my children's stomachs, sir, please do me a favor."

"Do you like to sell it or not? The noble necromancers don't like the old man's corpse. We send it to the Locke Kingdom, and the transportation fee alone costs a lot of money. Collecting your corpse is just pity you, it's charity you do you know?"

The two were arguing, when the strong man arrived carrying the corpse, the man with the moustache waved his hands and looked at the young woman's corpse first.He seemed quite satisfied with this, and quickly sold it for a silver coin.

The big man went in happily carrying the corpse, and a man came out of the room, holding a seal and tapping on the back of the woman's neck nimbly—the Arabic numeral ⅤⅥ, representing 56.

Jin Cheng squatted on the roof next door and watched, and suddenly remembered the kind of badges on pork in the real world, which were also blue.

At this time, the middle-aged man pulling the scooter finally gritted his teeth and gave up the five copper coins increase. Fearing that the man with the mustache would regret it, he quickly completed the deal.He got 60 copper coins, and there was a 57 stamp on the old man's body.

From this point of view, the number is the number of corpses.

Jin Cheng rested his chin and watched quietly, until he saw the big man happily taking the money back, but he didn't make any move.He just took another look at the courtyard before leaving. The sealer was throwing powder on the corpses on display, which seemed to be used for embalming.

He couldn't tell.

Morality is cheap when there is nothing to fill the stomach.

But unlike the cart man buying and selling his old man's corpse, those two strong men obviously couldn't be the woman's brothers, so after finding out where the corpse had gone, Jin Cheng turned around and tied them up.

From them, Jin Cheng got the woman's address and occupation.

A prostitute, rented alone in Baiye District, two big men are in charge of watching the thugs, and also in charge of disposing of the corpses.The woman died suddenly. She was already ill and didn't live long.

At this time, there were still more than 20 minutes left before the one-hour time limit, Jin Cheng rushed to the rental house, and just opened the door, a huge mural came into view.

The woman was painting while she was alive.She vacated the wall facing the door, and piled all the furniture and clutter on the other side, neat and messy, brightly colored and dull.

The painting is a field of red roses in full bloom, only the last two flowers have not been painted.The paint brushes and paint trays are on the table, and there is an unsent letter next to it.

[Dear Pastor Peter:

I think I'm dying.

Congratulations to me.

I don't know if there is a flower called rose in this world, I have never seen it, but if it is really as beautiful as you said, may it fulfill your wish.

I don't have to.

— Lisa]

Jin Cheng was silent for 2 minutes before putting down the letter and picking up a brush to paint again.But when the pen tip touched the wall, the bright red color suddenly magnified in Jin Cheng's eyes, occupying all his sight.

Like red splashed ink, it splashed down from the wall, instantly covering Jin Cheng.

On the other side, Tang Cuo didn't wait for Jin Cheng, but Roger Reed.

More than half of the Rose Sect lurking in the White Leaf District died this time, and the red priest was severely injured by Roger Reed, but he escaped in the end.After Roger Reid came back, he explained a few follow-up matters to Celtic, and then took the initiative to find Tang Cuo.

"Tell me the authentic thing again." Roger Reed had a grim face. He was about 40 years old, with his temples shaved off and a very neat hairstyle.His hair color is also black which is rare in this world. Coupled with the black eye patch and blue eyes, his cold face is even more stern.

The two walked into the courtyard of the church. Tang Cuo was about to repeat what he had said to Celtic so as to keep the same in response to all changes. The clinker Roger Reid changed his tone of stern but familiar.

"Theodore, you are too reckless to take the Grand Duke to the tunnel. Your brother asked you to come here to practice, but he doesn't want anything to happen to you."

elder brother?Theodore has a brother?

Tang Cuo was suspicious but his face remained silent, "I see, Mr. Roger Reed."

Roger Reed frowned slightly, "Let's put aside the matter of apprenticeship. I will write to His Excellency the Duke. If you want to stay in the Ivy League in the future, you must undergo more experience. You did not easily ask It is good that others mention your origin, Theodore. As a knight, you must be proud of your noble birth, but you must not be arrogant, and you must not stop your progress."

Tang Cuo understood that this was a story about a noble boy who concealed his identity and went to the countryside to practice. No wonder Theodore's hair changed color.

But there was one thing that made Tang Cuo feel strange.

If Theodore had an older brother, then in such an orthodox family of aristocratic knights, the eldest son would be the heir to the title.According to what Roger Reed said, he came to the Ivy League for training, intending to take Roger Reed as his teacher, and may stay in the Ivy League in the future.

But why did Theodore become the Duke in the end, and where did his brother go?

is he deadOr something else?

Tang Cuo temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and didn't ask why he, a knight, wanted to worship a magician as his teacher. He nodded and kept his aloof personality unshakable.

So when Celtic came over, he saw two cold faces, one big and one small, as if they were carved out of the same mold.He scratched his head, not knowing whether he should step forward to disturb him or not.
