Crimson Servant

Chapter 38 Outlaw Armor
  The excitement of getting the magic equipment did not appear on everyone's face. Jenny VII, this automaton's eyes stopped on the piece of armor she made several times. She moved her eyes away with difficulty and turned to the one that gave her The source of bitterness.

"I have completed what I promised, you should fulfill your promise and get out of my workshop."

The automaton was surprisingly polite, and her humiliation could have been conveyed in sharper terms, as she had already proven she had an adequate vocabulary.

She was suppressing her emotions, like a taut spring. John knew that his words and actions would have different consequences.

The ability of the magic armor has not yet been explained. Perhaps valuable information can be unearthed from Jenny VII, so John rationally chose to give up. This was not a crimson ceremony, there was no need to make her hysterical.

"Thank you, Jenny VII, and farewell."

John followed the Sun Team out of the puppet workshop. When they stepped onto the spiral staircase, everyone was on full alert, keeping a sufficient distance from any metal pieces other than the pedals under their feet.

Jenny VII did not use the workshop's defense mechanism to attack. Her fear of the silver key made her carefully guard against John's possible hidden backhand. John's vigilance is exactly the same. He must pretend to be confident enough under the surveillance of the automaton to convince her that some countermeasures really exist.

When they walked out of the steel hut, there was an obvious sound of exhalation from the team. They did not stop there, but went into the jungle and disappeared from sight using the camouflage of plants.

"Okay, that's it." John said.

These words seemed to take away all the strength of the arakkoa. Lightning fell to his knees and patted the roots trying to climb up his feathers.

"It's so, so exciting! We actually tricked a robot! With a key to open the door."

"Apologise to [Warlock's Conscience]! You don't understand the value of that treasure at all!" Karl retorted righteously against Lightning, his right hand lovingly touching the new armor on his body, and his palm touching the cross on his chest, like It's about smoothing out this scar.

"I deceived the doll, and you were just a quiet witness. If I say this, you will feel better." Nora was right. The sense of accomplishment gained through ill-gotten gains was pleasant.

"It's even more uncomfortable to be excluded! I'm just a little excited, as if I've done something big!" The arakkoa's past life was mainly about worshiping the sun and living in the wilderness. Their devotion to the sun and sincerity to their beast mates were once All of lightning. He is a guy whose feathers will stand up when he feels guilty. If someone else hadn't attracted the doll's attention before, Jenny VII would definitely have noticed this bird with fried feathers.

"Countless first steps, this is exactly the meaning of adventure." Jurgen laughed, "It's you, Karl, does it really matter to you? Won't deception break your oath?"

Carl was stunned for a moment. The paladin seemed to realize that his previous behavior was a provocation to the commandments. He calmed down to feel himself, and soon replied: "Deceiving the enemy is not a lie, it is a just tactic!"

Seeing that the Paladin was fine, Jurgen was no longer worried. He raised his head and lowered it to the shiny armor. The dwarf's eyes were fiery.

"What a beautiful piece of art." Jurgen stretched out his rough palm to touch it, but stopped himself.

"what is his name?"

"Generally speaking, only the forger of weapons and armor is qualified to name it, but Jenny VII wouldn't name this piece of armor, after all, under those circumstances."

In the eyes of the automaton, this piece of armor is a bargaining chip for her freedom, an item that bears witness to her humiliation. Under normal circumstances, she would be happy to see this armor destroyed.

"No, pay attention to this." John pointed to the front of the armor. In the shadow under the cross weld scar, a line of laser-engraved ancient Asht text was clearly visible. It didn't take much effort for John to translate the results.

[Law Trampler] "A lawbreaker who ignores the rules, Karl, it seems that the automaton really hates you." John mocked the Paladin. Paladins who pursue justice and abide by the law wear [Law Trampler] , I really want to see him swear an oath to the sun in his outlaw armor.

"It's obvious that my hatred for you has been turned on me, despicable warlock!"

Seeing the quarrel between the two, Jurgen smiled knowingly.

"John was only half right, Carl. There are some gaps between ancient and modern languages, and many ambiguities have to be replaced according to context. [Law-breaker is a literal translation. The two words themselves are [rule] and [ Destroy] means [Breaker], transcending conventional limitations. What Jenny VII wants to express should be the superior performance of this armor beyond conventional limitations."

This explanation was much easier for Karl to accept. The Paladin had fallen in love with the [Breaker Armor] from the moment he put on the armor, so he paid more attention to John's interpretation.

The cold metal stuck to the clothes, and there was no heaviness at all when he stretched his arms, just like the carapace naturally existing on the skin. Karl even had a weird idea that this armor was alive. Because every part of it stretches and deforms with the activity of the muscles, in fact, this is the adaptive nature of the memory alloy. Recording the physical data of the paladin and making adaptive adjustments based on the wearer's strength is a superb achievement of Guasht Automation, but the Sun Team still doesn't know it yet.

But it doesn't matter, the joy of gaining something is enough to motivate the team to continue exploring. After a little discussion, the Sun Team decided to attack the tree mother.

John brought this up not out of some sense of contract or guilt, but because the tree mother really blocked the way. The swaying plant roots turned the third floor into a living maze. Whether you continue to explore or go deeper into the lower levels, This has become a hindrance.

Only by going deep into the heart of the tree and letting this huge magical plant wither can we continue to move forward. Moreover, in the center where life energy is concentrated, it is extremely easy for items containing extraordinary power to appear.

Team Sun, who had obtained the weed-killing undead potion, had no reason to let go of the wealth in front of them.

Following the druid's sense of life, the group began to move towards the location with the richest life in the entire area. Karl was still fighting through obstacles at the front, and after getting the new armor, it didn't take much effort.

The soil under my feet became softer and softer, and it took some time to pull my feet out from the gaps between the roots. I walked this way for a while, until the vines hung like a curtain in front of me, and the shrubs were so dense that they formed a wall, and there was no room for one. soles of feet.

The Sun Team arrived at the heart of the tree area.

Underfoot is a hard green wood with a slightly slippery outer skin. From the depths of the layered green barriers, a little light shines through the pores, like star points.

Karl held the sword with one hand, and some sparks erupted from the scraping between the sword edge and the edge of the shield. These sparks did not dissipate, but exploded and burned fiercely on the sword in violation of the rules. Karl shouted, and the blazing slash struck the plant wall in front of him.

The green color quickly turned red, but the flames spread for more than one meter and then extinguished. The charred skin quickly fell off in front of the Paladin's eyes, and the glowing new shoots grew denser branches, quickly repairing the traces.

"Well, fire won't do it any good."

"The only thing that can kill life is death."

John smiled.

"Karl, are you ready to experience the vow-breaking life in advance?"
