A few nights ago. "Prophecy...!?" Li You looked at Xiao Pa with obvious surprise on his face. Xiao Pa said: "Yes, prophecy. And it was a prophecy conveyed by the priestess of the Temple of Delphi, that is, the two of us brothers will defeat the huge beast and save the princess." Li You asked: "Isn't that good?" He didn't wonder why the prophecy was so specific, most of the prophecies in Greek mythology were like this. But Xiao Pa smiled bitterly: "It's not over yet, the second half of the prophecy also said that although we will complete such a great cause, only one person can return from this adventure and bring back the princess." Li You was stunned: "It means..." Xiao Pa nodded: "Demos and I, in the end, can only go back alone." The two were silent for a while. After a while, Li You looked at Xiao Pa and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
"...Because we met you and became companions with you." Xiao Pa replied, "You are all very powerful people. I don't think the next Behemoth is our opponent." "But the prophecy will not be violated. Trying to fight it will only bring greater disasters. The story of King Oedipus has proved everything. "So, Deimos and I also have a consensus. If we are still there at the last moment, then he and I will use swords to decide the winner." Li You's mouth twitched: "...Otherwise, why do I hate the goddess of fate in Greece?" He asked Xiao Pa: "So you hope that if it comes to this time, I won't stop you?" Xiao Pa nodded: "You are an outsider and don't understand the absoluteness of fate, so I hope you can at least stand by and watch." Li You stared at him for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll consider it." "-Please. " … Time goes back to the present. Accompanied by a crisp breaking sound, a piece of the sword blade spun twice in the air and pierced into the ground. Xiao Pa stood quietly, his hand holding the broken sword relaxed and drooped, and he closed his eyes. Xiao De put the sword on his neck, with a stern face, but couldn't stop his hand from shaking. "…Do it." Xiao Pa's voice sounded very calm, but extremely hoarse. Xiao De's hands trembled even more, but he couldn't swing the sword. The princess who was still tied up on the side became impatient: "If you win, do it quickly! How long do you want me to wait?" Xiao Pa opened his eyes, frowned, and was about to face the sword himself, but at this time, a cry suddenly came from the other side: "Ah——! " The voice was clear and pleasant, and the brothers were very familiar with it. It was the princess' voice. So they all turned their heads to look. On the other side, Li You untied the rope that bound the princess and helped her down.
The princess first cried out in surprise, and then her face was full of joy: "Are you willing to send me back? Don't worry, everything my father promised will be fulfilled!" Xiao De and Xiao Pa looked at Li You in surprise, not knowing what he was going to do. As for Li You, he looked at the system panel, confirmed that the prompt for the completion of the main task had popped up, and showed a kind smile to the princess. "——Fuck you!" "Pa——!" Li You slapped the princess in the face, and the force was just right, which not only ensured that she was slapped away with one slap, but also did not use too much force to kill her... Whether she would have a concussion was another matter. Xiao De, Xiao Pa: "? ? ? ? " "Li You, what are you doing, Li You! ? " Li You exhaled heavily, feeling relieved at last. Xiao De and Xiao Pa ran over, looked at Li You, and then looked at the princess on the ground, not knowing who to look for first. Fortunately, Aggie on the side helped. She came up and grabbed one of the princess' legs, dragged her aside to check her injuries, leaving space for the two brothers. Xiao Pa looked at Li You and asked, "What are you doing..." Li You looked very happy: "Ah? I didn't interrupt your duel, what's wrong?" The brothers: "..." Xiao Pa couldn't help but: "You didn't intervene directly, but..." "Only one person can bring the princess back, right?" Li You suddenly asked. "... um?" "I mean, the prophecy about you brothers says that only one person can bring the princess back, right?" The brothers nodded. "Did it say that one of you must die?" The brothers looked at each other. "It seems not?" Li You clapped his hands: "That's it, right? Can't you just leave one person here?" Both of them were stunned: "... Can it be like this?" "Why not?" Li You asked back, "You didn't violate the prophecy, it's better to say that you fulfilled the prophecy perfectly. Defeating the beast, saving the princess, and taking her back alone, isn't that perfect? The prophecy didn't say that you would kill each other!" "Ah this..." Xiao Pa didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Li You, you don't understand. The thread of my fate and Demos's is intertwined, and after this time, there should be only one strand left - this is what the oracle showed. So even if the prophecy didn't say that only one of us can survive, this is actually the case." But Li You laughed again: "I know, so I haven't finished speaking."
He took out the golden lion head hammer, slammed it heavily on the ground, and said: "Inside this hammer, there is a soul sleeping, which was awakened in the battle with Behemoth just now. Guess who he is?" The two brothers were very confused: "Who?" "I don't know either." Li You said confidently. The two brothers: "..." "However," Li You continued, "he didn't tell me his name, but he claimed to be the priest who was originally responsible for managing this land, and the chief priest of the goddess Hecate." "He has taken a fancy to the two of you and wants to choose one of you to inherit his mantle. But the price is that the thread of that person's fate will be hidden, equivalent to death, and he can no longer leave this land." The two brothers were stunned at first, and then they all showed surprise: "Are you serious!?" Li You smiled and said: "Of course." He injected divine power into the hammer, and the lion's pupil on the hammer head lit up, and a phantom of a lion emerged. It looked down at the brothers and said, "I heard what you said. If one of you inherits my position, the problem will be solved. What do you think?" Xiao Pa thought for a while and asked Li You, "Is this person... telling the truth?" Li You replied, "When it comes to the Great Goddess, what he said is true. I can tell from his mental fluctuations." The two brothers looked at each other again and made a decision. Xiao Pa stepped forward: "Then, I'll do it." "Okay!" The lion shadow laughed, "I'm optimistic about you!" As it said, it pounced in mid-air and turned into a light spot that sank into Xiao Pa's chest. Xiao Pa seemed to feel something, raised his hand and looked at it, his face full of surprise. But then, the phantom of the lion reappeared, this time looking at Li You: "By the way, kid, since I have awakened and can get rid of this hammer, I can also help you remove its curse, what do you think?" Li You was a little surprised. He thought about it and asked: "Can the positive effect be retained?" "...Then there is no way to remove the curse. I can only modify the effect." "Then please." The phantom of the lion exhaled and sank into the hammer, and invisible changes occurred immediately. Li You didn't bother to check the current effect of the hammer, the two brothers were already saying goodbye. Xiao De reached out to Xiao Pa, and the two hugged tightly. "Be careful on your way back, brother." "I will. I will come to see you after I send the princess back." Xiao Pa smiled and said, "Okay. But I remember that among the rewards promised by the king, there is a sword used by the hero Achilles. I have always wanted it. If you get it, will you give it to me?" Xiao De laughed: "If you want it, you have to get it yourself!" "I knew you were unreliable!"
Xiao Pa punched Xiao De in the chest, and they both laughed. Then, they turned to Li You. "...Li You, thank you for saving us brothers from killing each other." Xiao De's expression was sincere, and Xiao Pa also thanked him. Li You was not used to others thanking him so solemnly, so he waved his hand: "I just think your decision was too hasty, so it's fine." "Thank you anyway." Xiao De said, "But I have another question." "Ask." Xiao De pointed to the unconscious princess with a red slap mark on her face and asked: "...Is it necessary to beat her?" Li You was stunned at first, then smiled and said: "Well, I have wanted to beat her since I was a child!" Xiao De and Xiao Pa: "?" ... After that, Xiao De took the princess and took the boat that someone had prepared on the coast and returned to the kingdom. Xiao Pa stayed on this land. He summoned the remaining Hecate priests who had not joined Behemoth, announced that he would succeed the high priest, and expel the death energy of this land back to the underworld. Not long after, Xiao De left everything in the kingdom behind, came here, and joined his brother...These are all later stories. As for Li You, after helping the two brothers solve the problem, he raced against time to cut the materials that could be taken from Behemoth. Such as Behemoth's toughest back skin, the horn on the top of the head, and of course the body tissues given to Youzi, as well as the flesh and blood that Ye Ge wanted. However, Behemoth's vitality is quite tenacious, and he is still alive even so, but he can't break free from the seal. After the second reinforcement of the seal, it is impossible for him to break free by himself unless someone deliberately destroys it. And Xiao Pa said that he would keep an eye on Behemoth next, and Li You was relieved. So, he took Youzi and Aggie to say goodbye to them and prepared to leave for the next world. In addition, because he was busy sucking Behemoth's blood, Ye Ge was almost thrown away by Li You and his friends. On a coast, Li You took Aggie and Yuzi, stood on the gray-black beach, and turned to look at Ye Ge. "If you're slower, you'll have to stay in this world forever." Ye Ge staggered: "Don't blame me, that big guy... the blood is really delicious. Hiccup!" Ai Ji looked at it flying staggeringly and wondered: "Is this sword drunk?" "It has absorbed too much nutrition from Behemoth's blood. I guess it will sleep for a while again." Li You waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll confirm the information of the next world." This world is not large, so the rewards and achievements are simple. [Double-Edge Warrior main quest: defeat all BOSS, rescue the princess, completed. 】 [Quest rewards: All attributes +1, world fragment × 1, lucky coin × 1, reward extraction opportunities × 10, backpack space × 5. ] [Ding! ]
[Congratulations. ] [The next world has been extracted. The world transfer program will start in one hour. You can also choose to transfer manually. ] [After entering the new world, a new main task will be released. ] [Stay tuned. ] The rewards for the main task are simple, but they all look good. As for achievements, they are mainly one for each BOSS. [Achievement: King of Gold, defeat the Golden King Midas. ] [Achievement rewards: achievement points × 400, gold armor × 1. ] … [Achievement: Bronze Giant, defeat the bronze giant Talos. ] [Rewards: achievement points × 700, remote-controlled bronze giant (1/15) × 1. ] … [Achievement: Minotaur, defeat the Minotaur Minotaur. ] [Reward: Achievement points × 500, Bull Hunter's Certificate × 1. ] … [Achievement: Fake Hercules, defeated the fake Hercules. ] [Reward: Achievement points × 1000, Lion Skin Belt × 1. ] … [Achievement: Petrified Eye, defeated Medusa. ] [Reward: Achievement points × 900, Petrified Eye (consumable) × 1. ] … [Achievement: King of Behemoth, defeated Behemoth. ] [Reward: Achievement points × 2000, Beast King Heart × 1. ] Small-scale worlds seem to be like this. The main quest rewards are simple, and so are the achievements. Direct achievement points plus a corresponding item. Li You took a quick look. The golden armor is just as its name suggests. It is a set of armor made of almost pure gold. It is shiny, but it is extremely heavy. The defense power... is also about the same as gold. Li You doesn't know what this thing is used for. The remote-controlled bronze giant is a miniature version of Talos. The (1/15) is not the number of uses, but the actual ratio. So this thing is just over two meters tall, a bit shorter than Yuzu. It can be remotely controlled by Li You using mental power. Except for the back of the neck and the heels, it is very solid, but... it does not have the sensory sharing function. It is identified as a large remote-controlled toy.
The Bull Hunter's Certificate, a medal, greatly increases the damage to enemies with attributes related to "cow" - where can he find so many enemies with the ox zodiac? But the lion skin belt and the petrified eye are both good things. [Lion Skin Belt: It is said that it is a belt made of the skin of the Nemean lion worn by the great hero Hercules. It greatly increases the strength and energy of the wearer, and it is no problem to fight fifty consecutive battles, but it cannot be equipped with other clothing items at the same time. ] [Petrified Eye (consumable): A pair of Medusa's eyeballs that still retain magic. Throw it at the enemy, and the enemy hit will be petrified. After use, it disappears. 】 Although these two items have some very subtle flaws, it must be admitted that their effects are also very powerful. As for the last Beast King Heart, Li You originally thought it was a symbolic name, but when he took it out, he found that it was actually a huge heart. That is, the system specially added a note so that it could be put into the backpack. [Beast King Heart: The giant beast Behemoth still has a heart that is still alive and powerful. If it can find a suitable body, it will be able to play its role. 】 From the fact that it can drive such a huge body of Behemoth, this heart should be very powerful, but Li You asked, and even Yuzu said that his current body can't bear this thing. I don't know who can use it. Finally, there is the reward for the main task. What surprised Li You the most was that he actually gave him a world fragment. He hadn't got a world fragment for a long time, so that he could have passed the level and got the reward with the last piece, but he was reluctant to use it. Now the problem is solved. As for the lucky coin… [Lucky coin: an ancient Greek coin with blessing power. After crushing it, it can improve luck within a time limit. ] Although it is a bit mysterious and I don’t know how much effect it has, if it is absorbed by the ancient coin, it can be continuously produced in the future, which is a good thing. Anyway, in the future, when drawing cards, in addition to trying to find Claire, I will also crush a coin. Whether it has any effect is another matter, at least it can be a psychological comfort. These are the gains of this world. In addition to these things, Li You has not forgotten the fragments he got in the last world. The wandering merchant certificate has been mentioned, and the rest include: A collection of classic fairy tales, which records fairy tales created by famous people from all over the world. It can increase the affinity of the holder and is especially effective for children. A camouflage cloak that can blend into the surrounding environment when it is stationary or moving slowly. A certificate of cultural relics appraiser, which can increase the price when selling items with years to anyone. And the one that Li You values most, the protector’s shelter. [Item Description: A one-time temporary shelter that automatically generates a safe house when placed on the ground. It can accommodate up to four people and can withstand any attack with a power no greater than a nuclear bomb explosion within ten minutes. ] This item is the most surprising one for Li You. With it, if Li You encounters a world that he doesn't like in the future, he can choose to flip the table directly. Of course, this is only a bad idea, but at least there is one more option. I can choose not to use the trump card, but I can't live without it! At this point, Li You has sorted out his harvest, and the time for transmission has just arrived. Looking at the portal in front of him, Li You took a deep breath, took his companions back to the system space, and stepped in. Done! The next world, Night City! But I guess the update will be late tomorrow (forgive me)
