"What is that relationship between those two people and Ika?" Xiao Hua asked impatiently. Piaoling and Zhou Xiaorou were also very curious, looking at the old man with their eyes wide open.
"The story goes back a long time. Char and Christine grew up in the monastery, both of them liked each other very much. After leaving the monastery, they naturally became lovers. They have been practicing magic and swordsmanship since childhood, so they are good at it."
For two people who are determined to explore and adventure on the continent of Arlen, this is naturally necessary.
One day not long after leaving the monastery, Char learned an ancient summoning magic from a magical book. Excited by this, he set up the summoning magic circle without thinking much about it according to what was written in the book. Normally, the summoning magic circle would summon a tamed monster that could be of great help for their future adventures and travels. But Char's magic circle seemed different; maybe because of the failure of the summoning, no tamed monster appeared but instead, Aika showed up in the magic circle! The old man sighed as he looked at Aika's charming face.
How could Ika appear like this? No wonder she called that Xia as her master. Xiao Hua and his two companions were surprised to think so.
"This is not a big deal. Aika is very cute and has great strength, so it's no trouble for Char and Kirsten to take her on a journey together. But one day in an ancient ruin, Aika found a locked box with demonic power sealed inside. Unable to resist temptation, she opened the box, but the power rushed towards Kirsten. In shock, Char stood in front of Kirsten and was possessed by the demonic power, changing his personality completely and finally becoming a maniac!
Later, Chris and Ika teamed up to design a way to capture Char and suppress his demonic power. They hid in the mountains and forests hoping to live out their lives peacefully. But good times didn't last long. Char's demonic power began to revive gradually. Chris went outside alone looking for ways to remove Char's power. When Chris was not around, Char finally escaped and brought me here to this abandoned ruin where no one would come."
The cause of this matter is so complicated. After listening to what the old man said, it seems that Char is just a poor guy who can't help himself.
"What a sad couple." Zhou Xiaorou felt sorry for them and couldn't help saying.
Xiao Hua was not so sentimental. After satisfying his curiosity, he is more concerned about what they need to do in order to pass the dungeon!
"I wonder if we can help in this matter?" Xiao Hua looked at the old man with longing eyes, hoping he would give him a task. Running such plot tasks requires careful observation and reasonable use of skills, but it's hard to kill even one monster. For someone who doesn't mind killing monsters, it really is quite torturous. The most important thing is that he also wants to take advantage of the opportunity to touch those two big bosses...
"Of course, I was also looking for your help. In fact, Christina has found a way to remove the demon power from Char. What you need to do is take my thing and help Christina subdue Char, but before that, I still need you to collect some necessary materials!" The old man said confidently.
System prompt: Do you accept task "Helping Kirsten"?
There is nothing to consider. The three of them have been waiting for a long time!
"First, there are two mutated sunflower fields on the way to the monastery. You can find those mature sunflowers and collect twenty red fruits and ten black fruits for me. I will use those fruits to make some special magic bombs for you. Then you can go to that house surrounded by abyssal skeletons on the roadside and use the magic bombs against those abyssal skeletons. Note that there is only a limited number of magic bombs, so please be careful when using them. They can temporarily reduce the attack power of those skeletons, but after using them, kill them as soon as possible!"
After you have killed those abyssal skeletons, they will drop a substance called 'skeletal essence'. You must pick it up and bring it to me. At least five pieces are needed, as many as possible! After killing the abyssal skeleton, go inside the house and find a book on "Complete Formula of Common Potions" in the bookshelf. I hid a holy potion in the book. This is the most important material, which must be obtained! Once these things are found, I can make potions that greatly reduce Char's strength! Well, hurry up, or Kirsten may be in danger." After the three accepted the task, the old man told them everything at once.
Sweat, thank goodness they didn't slack off on their way. Everything that old man needs is perfectly prepared! This saves a lot of time!
The old man had just finished speaking, Xiao Hua and Zhou Xiaorou took out their belongings from their bodies and placed them in front of the old man. After looking at the items on the ground, he couldn't help but praise loudly, "Good good! These are exactly what I need. Wait for me, I'll get it right away!"
The old man hid behind a piece of cloth with something in his hand. Xiao Hua thought it would take him some time to get out, but he came out after only a few seconds and said happily, "Done!"
Sure enough, it is a very self-inflicted humiliation to argue with the system!
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
After being scorned by the system again, Xiao Hua felt ashamed.
"Here you go. This thing will greatly reduce his ability within five minutes after hitting Char!" The old man held a black magic bomb in his hand.
MAGIC BOMB?
Looking at the magic bomb that the old man handed over, Xiao Hua was very suspicious whether this magic bomb really worked. He felt that the old man took their things and then casually pulled out a magic bomb to send them away. But fortunately it's just a game, with attribute description of this thing.
Holy Magic Bomb: A magic bomb made with holy medicine and special formula, which can effectively restrain dark power.
"Is there only one of them? What if it doesn't hit Xia'er?" Xiao Hua remembered that the effective range of magic bombs was only 1 meter, and to hit such a perverted guy as Xia'er would be very difficult!
"There's nothing we can do. Although there is half a bottle of holy potion, but other materials are not enough to make another one. Kristin should go far away, you'd better hurry up and catch up with her. Go along the back door of the monastery towards the mountain, maybe you will find them."
That is to say, there's only one chance. If it were a normal team, they would probably have to get close enough to kill themselves before they dared to blow up Char!
Xiao Hua carefully put the sacred magic bomb in his backpack, and then the three of them chased after the ruins on the mountain. This should not take more than a few minutes, but it didn't go far before Piaoling suddenly shouted, "Wait! I have something to do first! Let's set up a tent!"
"Big sister, can you kill the boss first?" Xiao Hua looked at Piaoling pitifully.
"I don't want to either, it's an urgent matter. Set up a tent and you can go to the forum for a while first. I'll be back in at most one hour." Floating said helplessly.
There is an emergency in reality, which can't be helped. Xiao Hua set up a tent and left after floating in. Xiao Hua and Zhou Xiaorou went directly to the forum.
Zhou Xiaorou was not a first-timer on forums. Once she got onto the forum, she left Xiao Hua alone and went to satisfy her strong desire for knowledge. After Xiao Hua deeply felt the pain of having no attack or output skills in the copy, he directly checked out whether there were any suitable skill books available in various city sections. If so, he would just fly over to the second city to buy them back!
But after looking at many sections, he only saw a few free skill books for sale, and none of them were suitable for him. In each city section, there are more people seeking to buy skills than selling them, all with "I will pay any price for XX skill book! Money is not an issue!" written on it.
It's so dazzling that Xiao Hua deeply felt that at this stage, there are still too few free skill books. The demand far exceeds supply. Even if ordinary people have skill books for sale, they can sell them well without advertising on the forum.
Just when he was about to give up, Xiao Hua suddenly saw a post that caught his eye!
"The price of 1 million gold coins for The Deadly Poison, please contact me through forum SMS. I will be online all day long!"
"The Deadly Poison?" Isn't that the master-level prescription in his hand?
Although he has a net worth of more than 20 million yuan, Xiao Hua was still shocked when he saw that someone offered to buy one prescription for 10 million yuan.
The poster's name is "Flying with the Wind", a very ordinary name. Xiao Hua has never heard of this person, so he doesn't know which big union it belongs to. Xiao Hua originally wanted to contact him immediately, but after thinking about it, the prescription was in the warehouse. Before there were screenshots proving that he had the prescription, the other party didn't want to talk much with him. It would be a waste of time to go there rashly. There are probably many people who will bother even if they don't have the prescription for one million yuan.
So much money, Xiao Hua said that he was not in a hurry. No one would be tired of having more money, and Xiao Hua is no exception. "The Deadly Poison"
The prescription in his hand will rust, and it is natural to sell at a high price as soon as possible. As for why the other party would buy this medicine at such a high price, there must be some reason on their side, Xiao Hua also didn't want to think too much about it.
However, this incident inspired Xiao Hua. He naturally knew that those who boasted of sky-high acquisition prices were mostly just a facade. The real sky-high price was like Su Feng Piaoyang's direct offer of 1 million gold coins for "Whirlwind Slash" or an equivalent agility skill book! So Xiao Hua decided to follow suit and posted on the Snow City forum section: "I am willing to pay 300,000 gold coins for 'Whirlwind Slash' or any other agility skill books with higher output. Money is not a problem! Contact me through the forum."
As soon as the post was posted, it attracted a crowd of people to watch. Those who can afford 3 million gold coins are definitely rich!
Taking a light breath, Xiao Hua didn't know if this would work or not. He continued to look at it for a while but still couldn't find any useful information. He was about to go familiarize himself with more copies and tasks to pass time when Zhou Xiaorou suddenly sent him a link and said anxiously in voice message, "Come over quickly!"
