The Trial Game of Life

Tang Cuo felt that the world was really unfriendly to him.

The tassel earrings seemed to be seeing his appearance clearly now, his eyes fell on his sword, his face hidden under the mask showed a dazed expression, and said: "So it's the boy from the White Knight's family, you said I would kill you now How about it? It must be interesting."

Tang Cuo leaned on his sword and just stared at him without speaking.

The tassel earrings continued: "Killing you is much more interesting than killing the Grand Duke. I think the Grand Duke would rather die himself than you."

Tang Cuo understood what he meant.

Farland is just a principality within the Hundred Flowers Kingdom. If Theodore died here, his family would definitely hold the Faran royal family accountable.What's more, this box was sent as a thank-you gift from the Grand Duke, and the one who was originally assassinated was also the Grand Duke.

This trick is really good.

Tang Cuo was even more curious about the relationship between this person and the Rose Sect.He is so powerful, if he were to deal with the Grand Duke, there would be no chance for them to save people.

Probably because his gaze was too straightforward, Tassel Earring suddenly smiled, "I like your eyes very much, they are very similar to your brother."

But the way he expresses his liking is - to kill you.

The powerful magic attack struck again, but Tang Cuo had no way to avoid it this time, so he could only use the sword of judgment to block it.The result of the hard connection was that he vomited blood again, and his whole body was in pain like being crushed.

"Cough, cough..." He knelt on one knee, his hand holding the sword was trembling.

Jin Cheng wanted to make a move, but his skill list and equipment column were almost all sealed gray, and as soon as his hand touched the strings of the small harp, the tassel earring looked over.

"If I were you, I wouldn't move."

Jin Cheng: "Maybe we can talk about conditions?"

Tassel earrings: "Do you think you have any conditions that you can talk to me about?"

Jin Cheng: "It depends on what you want."

Tassel Earrings tilted his head and thought about it carefully, but he didn't answer for a long time, and the tip of the umbrella had already been raised, pointing at Tang Cuo.

A moment of life and death.

All the air seems to be compressed within a square inch, it's not that he can't breathe, but that the air has completely blocked the trachea, constantly expanding, squeezing the original position of the blood, making people's brain unable to think.

The little girl at the service desk tremblingly covered her mouth and dared not make a sound, and the other people who were cleared out of the magic circle by Jin Cheng also seemed to be strangled, and they all froze in place, like fish that had been knocked unconscious on a chopping board.

A drop of cold sweat fell from the corner of Tang Cuo's forehead, and he had an intuition that Jin Cheng's verbal negotiations might not be effective.Sure enough, the tassel earring looked over again and said, "At this moment, I'm more interested in killing the descendants of the white knight."

He was laughing, and Tang Cuo's heart sank instantly.

However, neither Tang Cuo nor Jin Cheng are people who give up easily. Fear of death and acceptance of fate are completely two different things.

Tang Cuo was still staring at the tassel earrings. The eyes belonging to Theodore were not so clear in black and white, but the persistence in the eyes was exactly the same.

Under the threat of the umbrella tip, his right hand holding the hilt slipped quietly, the sharp blade cut through his palm, and blood flowed instantly.

This is called gambling.

In all fantasy stories, whether Eastern or Western, blood is one of the important media that can evoke a stronger force.

What effect would Theodore's blood drop on the Sword of Judgment?

Tang Cuo didn't know, but he could bet.

When the blood flowed down the Judgment Sword, the tassel earring raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth and uttered a syllable, and the gorgeous magic power gathered like a kaleidoscope at the tip of the umbrella.

In the next moment, a torrent of magic swept towards Tang Cuo.

Jin Cheng also moved at this moment.

His fingers waved the strings quickly, and he forcibly grafted the sonic attack that was originally used on the bowstrings. "Zheng——" Amid the sound of the piano, the strings made of sharp spider silk cut his fingertips.

The blood splashed and was shattered by the sound wave.

The powerful sound waves collided with the torrent of magic, like the wind stirring the sunset, the beauty is beautiful, but the sudden burst of energy shocked all the people present to vomit blood.

"Boom!" The ground was cracked inch by inch, and the dark golden light of the magic circle flickered wildly, absorbing most of the impact, but it seemed that it couldn't completely resist it.

Tang Cuo gritted his teeth.

Pierce the Judgment Sword into the ground in front of him, and firmly fix himself there.At the same time, the palm of his hand was holding the sword body hard, and the blood almost stained the silver sword red.

"Zheng—" Another piano sound, a second impact.

Jin Cheng himself did not go to rescue Tang Cuo, but instead rushed towards the tassel earrings.When he was about to get close, he bent down and pulled out a short dagger neatly from his boots, and the dagger flew out with a flash of cold light.

All of this happened in just three seconds.

"Tick tock." A drop of blood dripped from Tang Cuo's wrist to the ground, making a soft sound.The soft sound was infinitely magnified in his ears, and the torrent of magic was close in front of his eyes, and at this moment—the holy radiance of the ruling finally skyrocketed again.

The strong white holy light collided with the bright torrent of magic, which was also mixed with the lingering sound of the piano sound. In an instant, the entire second floor was swept inside.

Tang Cuo lost his vision and soon lost his hearing.His internal organs seemed to be full of ruptured blood vessels, blocking all his perception.He could only hold his sword tightly and try his best not to be knocked down.

This process is very long, but it may only pass for a moment.

A moment later, the crack of the "clang" window was forced in.

"Aesop!" The ice-cold shout was accompanied by warmth.

Tang Cuo barely opened his eyes, and saw a familiar halo around him.He didn't dare to open his mouth, fearing that he would collapse if he vented his breath, but his eyes could still see the figure in the black dress.

Roger Reid.

The two figures, one black and one white, fought, and Roger Reed was almost evenly matched with the Aesop he was talking about.And Jin Cheng finally had the opportunity to get close to Tang Cuo, and immediately decided to pour him a bottle of advanced healing potion, which stopped his crazily falling health.

"Cough, cough..." Tang Cuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and opened the character panel to see the familiar 3%.

In fact, Jin Cheng also suffered quite a lot of injuries. Although Aesop's magic attack was aimed at Tang Cuo, Jin Cheng dared to attack him in close quarters, and directly broke into the center of the storm.

"Let's go." Jin Cheng carried Tang Cuo on his back, and immediately retreated without saying a word.He doesn't care what Roger Reid and Aesop are fighting, life is the most important thing.

It made people quickly retreat to the first floor. At this time, the bounty hunters on the first floor were all attracted by the fight between the two big men, and no one noticed them for the time being.

But as soon as the two of them arrived downstairs, the system started to play notifications frantically.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

Jin Cheng immediately opened the system panel and found that the main task had changed from "survive" to "rescue alliance members".The brave and upright knight Theodore and the kind-hearted bard Lancelot will never leave others alone.

Oh, the damn humane RPG copy.

In order not to be struck by lightning, Jin Cheng had no choice but to go back with Tang Cuo on his back.

The second floor has already collapsed. Under the strong impact just now, although everyone did not die, they were all injured.Jin Cheng put Tang Cuo down, and quickly poured medicine on everyone,

After finishing all this, the main task changed again.

Current main task: tell the truth about the Roger Reid incident.

What?

the truth?What truth?

Jin Cheng's head was instantly filled with question marks, and at this moment, Roger Reid came back.He still came in through the broken window, carrying a broken doll in his hand, and glanced at the seriously injured Tang Cuo with one eye, his face was covered with ice.

"What's going on?" he asked.

Jin Cheng only hesitated for three seconds, "Ding", and the system played the notification tone for him again.

Life and death quiz.

Without changing his expression, Jin Cheng replied, "It's Doctor Albert. The man you called Aesop just now is hiding in Flan under the pseudonym Doctor Albert. I learned about the tunnel from him. I didn’t say it directly before because I wasn’t sure—Dr. Albert is a good man, and he treated me.”

Hearing this, Roger Reid asked again: "Why did he tell you the authenticity?"

Jin Cheng then said seriously, "He wants to lure me into the gang."

Roger Reid took a deep look at him, whether he believed it or not, but he didn't ask any more questions, and the system didn't continue to play the notification tone for Jin Cheng, and Jin Cheng knew that the test was over.

As for whether Aesop is Dr. Albert, Jin Cheng is not completely sure, and in the end it is still a gamble.

In the end, Jin Cheng looked at the puppet in his hand, and couldn't help asking, "Your Excellency Roger Reed, what is that?"

Roger Reed: "Golem. Aesop himself is not here. If he came in person, you would have died long ago."

Jin Cheng didn't rashly ask about Aesop's identity. Such a powerful big shot might be as well-known in mainland China as the inspector Roger Reed, so it's strange that he hasn't heard of it.

Soon, Roger Reed was gone again.

Celtic hurried back, seeing the mess on the second floor, his whole face collapsed.Knowing that Roger Reid had left, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Why can't I catch up!"

According to Celt, several magic circles were found in the White Leaf District, all of which have a clear style of the Rose sect.The specific uses of these magic circles are still being investigated, but fortunately they were discovered early, and no matter what the use was, they were killed in the cradle.

Celtic was very happy when he said it, but Tang Cuo didn't think so.

He opened the system panel, and the main task changed again—return to the White Leaf District.

Celtic was still saying: "Not only is there a priest in red, but even the rebel Aesop has appeared. Flandre is just a small principality. I really don't know what they are all gathering here for? I have to notify the headquarters as soon as possible. Let them send more people over."

Aesop the Rebel.

Jin Cheng rolled his eyes and asked, "Is he famous? I just came from the Moon Hidden Kingdom, so I don't seem to have heard of this name."

Celtic is not Roger Reed, so he didn't think much about it. Instead, he showed some interest when he heard the words "Moon Hidden Kingdom", and said: "I have rarely seen the moon in France for so many years." People from the Hidden Country, it’s really far away there, it’s normal that you haven’t heard of Aesop’s name. He was originally a prince of a country with a noble status, and then he joined the Rose Sect for some reason and became the embodiment of evil. The rebel Aesop is famous, and his strength is comparable to Lord Roger Reed, so you should be careful when you meet him in the future."

At this time, the medicine had already played its role. Although Tang Cuo's injury was still not healed, he had recovered his ability to move.He stood up and said to Celt: "The casket was sent by the Grand Duke, and the palace should be notified immediately."

Celtic scratched his head, "Look at me, how could I forget such an important thing."

After speaking, Celtic went to do it immediately.Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng exchanged glances, and while no one else came to talk to them, they immediately took the opportunity to leave the office and went to Baiye District according to the task instructions.

On the way, Tang Cuo changed his clothes again. He was injured from time to time, and the scrap rate of clothes was too high, so he simply prepared two more sets.

"Aesop and the priest in red are the same group of people, but their course of action is different, and I'm afraid the relationship is not close." Tang Cuo said as he walked.

"How do you say it?" Jin Cheng asked.

"Assuming that Aesop is Doctor Albert, then he has been lurking in the center of the city for so long. With his strength, it is not a bad idea to break into the palace directly. However, those assassins spent so much energy, but they still failed. Dr Burt isn't home."

"Which one is stronger, Aesop or the red priest?"

"Aesop."

Tang Cuo relied on his intuition to judge, but he was very sure.The red priest looked very powerful with the rose bomb in his hand, and he did have a way to escape from Roger Reed, but Aesop felt even more terrifying.With only one puppet, it can be crushed with absolute strength, so strong that people don't know how to resist.

Jin Cheng said: "Aesop really looks like he is outside the Rose Sect. Whether it is dressing or acting style, he is different from the previous group of people. Maybe there is a disagreement between them? Aesop has Aesop's plan, but Hongyi The priest took the lead in implementing his plan while he was away. Aesop may not stand up for him, but he will definitely be annoyed by the leak of the tunnel, so what happened just now."

Tang Cuo: "The question is, which faction does Pastor Peter belong to?"

Judging from the current situation, Peter and the red priest should be in the same group, but there are no absolutes in the world.

Baiye District.

The guards are patrolling everywhere, but now that the Grand Duke is no longer here, the personal guards have gone back with him, and there are not many people who can be allocated here.When leaving the office, Tang Cuo saw that Celtic had urgently issued a reward task in the name of the Ivy League—let ordinary members of the Ivy League search for Anyone who finds the traces of the magic circle of the Rose Sect will be rewarded with a gold coin.

This gave Tang Cuo a new understanding of the Ivy League, which not only has a large number of people, but also a lot of money.

The two entered the White Leaf District, but the main quest was not updated, so they decided to check the residences of Lancelot and Buzz first.From Buzz's words, they should live in a place called East Street.

Jin Cheng said: "We always have a special affinity with the streets with the character 'East'."

East Street is easy to find. The place with the most rental houses is where all the houses are crowded together, like a mix of black building blocks, but fortunately they are still clean.

With Buzz's enthusiasm, Jin Cheng was sure that most of the people here knew him, so he set up a trick with an unimportant old lady NPC on the side of the road, and successfully obtained Buzz's specific address.

128 East Street.

No. 128 is a group rental apartment, where more than a dozen families live, the lighting is not very good, and the aisle is only one meter wide.The key in Jin Cheng's hand opened the door of the room at the end of the corridor. It was a small but well-kept room. There was a string of small blue wind chimes hanging on the only window, and there was even a simple kitchen next to it.

A stove, a pot, and a cutting board hanging on the wall.Coal and various sundries are neatly piled up in the corner, not messy at all.

There was only a simple single bed in the room, and Jin Cheng found a floor under the bed that could be dragged out.The quilt is made of rags, but it is made of cotton, which is soft to the touch.

In addition, there is no extra furniture in the room, and the clothes are piled up in a large rattan box.The box was used as a table, and a broken earthenware pot was used as a vase on it, with a few fresh wild flowers inserted. The fragrance of the flowers slightly dilutes the lingering smell of medicine in the room.

Jin Cheng fiddled with the wild flowers and said, "Buzz is indeed a very good friend."

Tang Cuo took it for granted, but he thought that some side plot would be triggered here, and he turned around, but got nothing.From time to time, Jin Cheng looked at his slightly pale side face, and seeing that he was almost seen, he rubbed his stomach and said, "Go out to eat, or start a fire here?"

Tang Cuo turned his head.

"are you not hungry?"

"."

"You seemed to answer me with a full stop just now."

"You see it?"

Jin Cheng spread his hands, he felt that Tang Cuo's expression was too easy to read, and those who couldn't read it might be stupid.

Tang Cuo continued to remain expressionless, he couldn't understand why Jin Cheng could always see through his thoughts.If things go on like this, he won't be able to secretly scold others in his heart anymore.

In the end, the two decided to go out to eat, so as not to mess up the house that Buzz had worked so hard to clean up, and before they left, they had a rare conscience to put the floor back in place.

"Let's go." Jin Cheng clapped his hands and stood up.

Tang Cuo was still squatting on the ground, reaching out to touch the dark lines on the floor, frowning slightly.

Jin Cheng was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Tang Cuo didn't answer immediately, but quickly checked the floor in other places, and finally scraped a crack in the floor with his nails, and put it under his nose——

"The smell of blood."
