Blood of Mercury

The core idea of ​​Edward's round of mouth cannons is that "that person" wanted to keep Roland until the Lord Duide came over, and then offered Roland as a sacrifice for the sacrifice of internal organs. If Roland waited until that Master Duide came over, Roland would be dead.

Roland said that if he believed it, he would be 24K pure stupid.

There are so many loopholes in Edward's words that, from God's point of view, they are full of loopholes:

In the end, Edward did not mention who "that person" was; what was the important information on Roland that required a Master Duide to come over and perform visceral divination in person, and Edward did not make it clear. These appropriate blanks are for Roland to make up his own mind.

If Roland didn't know Edward's details, it might be possible for him to have his way. For example, Roland may think that "that person" is Farina, and that Duide is actually an Ashes or Whistler who penetrated into Duide. He came here to put Roland to death in a fair and honest way. of.

As for when Farina had so much energy and how that "Master Duid" discovered Roland's identity, Roland himself would give appropriate reasons. The power of preconceived notions is so powerful that even tangible evidence will be distorted in the face of it.

But now, the harder Edward worked, the more Roland doubted his true purpose.

Although Roland's enhanced mercury blood was enough to let him escape from this level of cage, Edward didn't know about it.

Roland narrowed his eyes slightly.

If he were Edward, what would he do now...

That's right... After successfully capturing Roland, he can directly kill or torture Roland, which is undoubtedly the most direct way to vent his anger - but it is also the least profitable one. Not only did he expose the fact that he was not dead, but he also drew the wrath of his mentor, and at the same time did not gain any benefits.

You know, Higgs also favored Roland. If Edward just killed Roland, there would be no substantial benefit other than his breath, and on the contrary, he would get into big trouble.

Then, the correct solution should be to let Roland do things for him. It is best to lure Roland into the path of dusk. Now it seems that Bernard is a temptation for Edward.

It would be the best situation if Roland couldn't bear the mental pollution after killing Bernard. And if Roland's willpower is so tenacious that he completely ignores Dusk's infection, then Edward will kill Roland if he tries to provoke his mentor.

but. But Roland's pupil color has become emerald. This means that Roland has been affected to some extent, and his willpower completely belongs to the category of mortals - that is, below 18 o'clock, facing the mental pollution of dusk can only rely on the face.

Because of this, Edward decided to keep Roland alive. Because Orwell is dead, all clues other than the professor are disconnected. Roland could not trace who was behind the scenes.

And professors are notorious for coming and going. By the time Roland found the professor, Edward had already made a lot of money from Roland's name, and at the same time caused a lot of trouble for Roland.

……interesting.

A flash of understanding flashed in Roland's eyes.

That's right. With Roland's character, if he finds out the truth at that time, he will most likely put Edward on hold first, and give priority to resolving the critical conflict in front of him.

Really close. If Roland didn't happen to be familiar with Tanas...

But now, Roland can count on his plans—

"So, what can I do for you?"

After patiently listening to the pile of common knowledge about Duide, Roland asked very respectfully.

"Tanas" said nothing, reached out and pressed the iron chain wrapped around Roland's body. The surrounding stars gradually shone, and they connected themselves, forming a large pattern in an instant.

The dark golden flame ignited quietly between his fingers, and his fingers gently slid over the iron chain on Roland's body. The strong iron chain melted and broke in two like butter cut by a hot knife. Half. Before the chain broke and fell on its own, Roland's skin was also scorched with a circle of fine blisters, and a strong redness appeared on the skin.

However, after all the chains fell off, Roland's skin suddenly flashed a silvery white light, which slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[Your metal allergy (mild) is reduced to metal allergy (weak), all checks get +1 disadvantage]

【Your metal allergy (weak) has been lifted】

With the chain coming off. The faint sense of discomfort in Roland gradually dissipated.

Probably because of the body of mercury, the iron chain on his body always wanted to enter Roland's body. But Roland's body really couldn't tolerate these foreign objects, so there was a very strong rejection reaction.

The characteristics of the body of mercury did not mean that Roland became the Terminator. Because mercury, sulphur and salt have special significance in the Farnes world. Although mercury is still considered a metal, it is on a higher level. It represents "will", just as sulfur represents "desire" and salt represents "reason". In the realm of the covenant, those who violate the covenant will be turned into a pillar of salt or a block of brimstone according to the specific situation, which represents the imbalance of "desire" and "reason".

If he wants to be a qualified death crow, Roland must abandon his judgment. But as a pope. He doesn't have to.

Feeling the mercury that was gradually regaining its activity and sanctification, Roland clenched his fists. The burn on his skin has healed.

Seeing this, "Tanas" said in a deep voice, "I guessed right. You are indeed an undead."

"...That's right."

Roland hesitated for a moment, showing a puzzled expression: "Is there any problem? Wizards shouldn't reject the undead."

"I don't reject it...but..." The old wizard hesitated for a moment, and his eyes showed determination, "I should let you know. It just happened to have something to do with what I asked you to do."

Here comes the play-

Roland immediately cheered up and listened intently.

"One of Lord Orwell's followers is a witcher. If he's here, I'll have a delay in any sorcery."

Roland's pupils shrank slightly.

Sure enough, "Tanas" said something that Roland didn't know at all.

The witcher is the mortal enemy of the White Tower wizard, and its sphere of influence is near the Broken Isles in the south of Titan. They hated the undead, the wizards, the barbarians, and even the elves. They are a very small number of extreme humanists among the Titans, who do not believe in any gods, but execute inhuman heretics according to the standards of the gods.

Although their leader is not very powerful, but because he holds two relatively advanced "shards", he has a strength that cannot be ignored after paying a huge price. What's even more frightening is that the "forbidden" ability in one of the fragments can be self-replicated.

Every witcher has a copy of this shard. In the vicinity of the witcher, any supernatural ability is slightly disturbed, the closer you get, the more pronounced it becomes. It's fine for priests and druids who win by quantity, but the power of magic will decrease - but for wizards who play delicate jobs, it means positioning errors and a decrease in success rate.

Because of the threat of witchers to wizards, every year the White Tower will send a group of combat wizards to attack them, but the witchers finally managed to hold out until the White Tower was attacked... Although in the end they were still in the wrong team. Ben.

"It seems that you probably know what a witcher is... Then you should also know how powerful a witcher can interfere with a wizard. Especially this witcher is a gold-level weapon master, I There's absolutely no way to get him."

"Tanas" spread his hands helplessly.

Roland was silent for a long time, and then asked, "What do you mean? Let me kill him?"

If Edward really said that, Roland would punch him in the face on the spot.

Are you kidding me... I've only heard that the silver tier can't beat the golden tier's help, and I've never heard that the gold tier can't beat the silver tier's giveaway.

But Edward was obviously not stupid.

He shook his head and explained: "I just want you to lead him away. Just stay three hundred meters away from here... In that case, I can build the gate of the starry sky."

"...You don't think I can outrun a weapon master?"

Roland looked bad~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Edward hurriedly shook his head: "No no no... I will teleport you back when the Star Gate is summoned."

"I'm relieved that you say that."

Roland nodded.

...If you say that, I can be sure what link you are trying to trick me on.

Roland would bet that Edward would never teleport himself back. But it doesn't matter, Roland didn't plan to fight him.

He thought for himself.

"So, what's that witcher's name?"

"Arsu. Arsu. Favel, a pure-blood mountaineer," "Tanas" said meaningfully, "you will recognize him naturally when you see him." (To be continued.)
