Chapter 18 Plague Goddess
"Akhtar, I remember you." Siegfried smiled and announced to everyone present, "This is undoubtedly my defeat, cheer for Akhtar!"

"..." Ximu turned around and walked towards the exit of the duel arena, not paying much attention to the tsunami-like cheers behind him.

Anyway, it’s just a cutscene with a group of NPCs.

"..." Siegfried touched his chin and looked at Akhtar's back with a look of thought.

Something was wrong with this man. He didn't feel excited about such a glorious moment. Instead, he left without looking back. Even if a normal person wanted to pretend, he couldn't suppress the secret joy in his heart.

But Akhtar is not like that. He really has no interest in cheers and people's admiration.

……

...

Duelist's Lounge.

"Hey, do you want to talk?" The boss of the duel arena leaned against the wall, raised his hand and gently pushed up his glasses, and spoke to the silver knight walking towards him.

"There's a beautiful lady who wants to talk to you."

"Not interested." Ximu casually refused, and calmly passed by the boss of the duel field, and then heard something.

"Two hundred thousand gold coins." The boss of the duel ground said concisely. He looked at the silver knight who stopped and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"And I guarantee your princess won't know about this."

"..."

Ximu turned around, his eyes fell on the boss of the duel field, and then looked to the side, Siegfried with an awkward smile, and fell into a long silence.

"...Am I unlucky to be here?" Siegfried scratched his face and asked awkwardly. What he received was silence from the boss of the duel field and Ximu.

He coughed.

"Don't worry, I won't leak what happened today."

"Your Majesty Siegfried, what are you here for?" The boss of the duel field sighed, his eyes behind his glasses revealing helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Siegfried slapped his palm, his eyes fell on the Silver Knight, and his expression became serious.

"Are you interested in becoming my teacher?"

"Apprentice, do you have money?" Ximu asked, only to see Siegfried twitching his mouth in pain and covering his face with his hands.

"Not only is it rich, it can also help you improve your strength as soon as possible."

Ximu nodded, and then asked: "What's the price?"

"Use everything I teach you and kill me in the future." Siegfried smiled and pointed at his chest, "Treat me as a dragon and attack me. This is what you need to do."

"The dragon-slaying hero wants to be treated as a dragon and be slain." The boss of the duel field had a subtle expression, and he didn't quite understand what Siegfried was thinking.

Perhaps this is the strange way of thinking of the strong.

"If you become an evil dragon, I will fight against you." Ximu nodded in agreement, and then added, "But don't become an evil dragon too quickly."

Siegfried smiled generously: "Can I understand that you agreed?"

Ximu nodded. He really wanted to kill Siegfried and obtain props for Siegfried's side plot.

A hero who bathed in dragon's blood and gained immortality. However, it was precisely because Siegfried bathed in dragon's blood that he transformed into an evil dragon. He was also an extremely ferocious and crazy evil dragon.

If he doesn't trigger Siegfried's side plot now, when the plot of assassinating the God of Plague ends, Siegfried will turn into a raging dragon, entrenched in the city suspended in the sky, waiting for the brave man of justice. ...Ahem, player crusade.

However, if the player triggers Siegfried's side plot, they can learn why Siegfried turned into a dragon and obtain the magic that turns Siegfried into a dragon.

For players who want to go on a killing spree and become enemies of the entire world, Siegfried's side plot is a must-trigger.

"When you are ready, come to Sky City to find me." Siegfried patted Ximu on the shoulder, and then walked towards the outside of the duel.

And Ximu also focused on the boss of the duel venue: "Where is the rich woman who invited me?"

"Red Rose Winery." The boss of the duel field handed out a card and added after Xi Mu took it.

"That lady's identity is not simple, so don't anger her."

"Understood." Ximu looked at the card and confirmed that it was the person he wanted to see...no, it was a god.

For players who choose to start with the useless person, there is a more friendly aspect, that is, they can get closer to the key characters of the plot faster.

The disadvantage is naturally that there is no way to have more time to level up, and you have to clear the level in a relatively difficult environment from the beginning.

And the attributes at the beginning are also very ordinary.

However, as long as the players improve their skills and achieve enough dazzling results in the duel field with no one, they can attract the attention of some key plot characters, such as the Witch of Time, the dragon-slaying hero Siegfried, and The god of plague.

"Let's go slowly, we probably won't see each other again." The boss of the duel arena pushed up his glasses and had no intention of talking too much to Ximu.

But it was unexpected.

"If you have nothing to do, just leave Lionheart City for a while." Ximu reminded the boss of the duel field, and then left the duel field.

The boss of the duel arena looked at the back of the Silver Knight and briefly thought about what this meant.

……

...

Red Rose Winery.

It is said that the red wine brewed by the winery has a color like the petals of a red rose and an excellent taste. Coupled with the nice environment, it attracts many wealthy businessmen and nobles to go to the Red Rose Winery to relax for a while in their free time.

Savor red wine, eat delicious food carefully prepared by the chef, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature.

"What, do you have no appetite?" came a pleasant voice. Ximu looked up and looked across the table. He saw a girl with a veil and short black hair, holding her cheeks with her hands, looking at him with a smile.

Although he didn't see the whole picture, those gentle and lively eyes seemed to soften people's hearts.

Angry... No, it's impossible to be angry when facing such a person.

"It's quite delicious." Ximu replied casually, glanced at the steak on the table, shook his head slightly and said:
"But I'm full."

"Then drink some red wine." The girl smiled, then frowned slightly, "By the way, have I introduced myself to you?"

Ximu shook his head: "No."

"Siyer Alecto." The girl gently brushed her black hair from her forehead, with a bright and gentle smile, "Just call me Siyer."

"Miss Hiyer." Ximu nodded seriously, then showed a confused expression, "By the way, about two hundred thousand gold coins." "You didn't even talk for a few words, but you want two hundred thousand gold coins?" Hiyer's cheeks bulged slightly. , took out a bank card, held it between his fingers, and shook it gently towards Ximu.

"At least say a little more to make me happy."

"Miss Hiyer, you are so beautiful." Ximu replied seriously, as if he was very bad at complimenting others, and subconsciously turned his head away when he said this.

However, even with such a clumsy and inexperienced compliment, Hiyer smiled with satisfaction and suppressed the raised corners of her mouth.

"Don't you rarely praise people?"

"Because it's not necessary." Xi Mu replied immediately, but Hiyer tilted her head and thought about it before asking him.

"Even that princess, didn't you praise her?"

"No." Ximu answered honestly, with a bit of frustration in his voice. He lowered his head and ate the steak with his fork.

It seems...a bit too much bullying.

Hiyer suddenly realized this, she put away her prank thoughts, put her bank card on the table, and pushed it in front of Ximu.

"Just take the money first."

"Thank you." Ximu silently put away the bank card and thanked Hiyer, as if he was really an upright knight who had to surrender in order to survive.

There are already corresponding tutorials on how to quickly gain the favor of the key NPC in the game. As long as you practice your acting skills to a certain level and follow the established routine, you can quickly gain the favor of the character you want.

When facing the Plague Goddess, you have to act as a kind-hearted knight who is serious about feelings and sticks to the bottom line.

However, he had to come to the presence of the Plague Goddess due to the pressure of life. In the process, he revealed his youthful...constricted and unnatural state.

Such an attitude can make the Plague Goddess relax her vigilance, which in turn gives her a sense of conquest and the secret pleasure of toying with other upright knights.

Of course, in order to complete this series of conditions, the player must be careful when pinching the face. Don’t make a face that will scare others to death at a glance. Try to make the face look as handsome as possible.

Only in this way can the strategy be effective.

"Can you tell me the story of how you met the princess?" Hiyer looked curious, and her sweet voice was sly. "If you can satisfy me, you can add more money."

"What story do you want?" Ximu said with a look of recollection, "That day I wanted to go to the country of Fenrir, but when I met Leticia being hunted, I took action."

He said in an innocent tone.

"The follow-up was that I took Leticia away and participated in the duel to treat her injuries."

"Where are the details?" Hiyer twitched the corner of his mouth. This omitted too much plot, so he gave a rough description.

Ximu responded in silence.

"I'm sorry for embarrassing you." Hiyer reacted. In the eyes of this knight, I'm afraid that's what happened.

With the character of this knight, it may not be easy to describe things vividly.

"I should apologize. After all, my eloquence...is not good." Ximu lowered his head as if feeling guilty and sighed:
"If you want to know the specific process, I can take you to Letitia to learn about it. Her eloquence is much better than mine."

"Are you serious about asking me to find her?" Hiyer couldn't laugh or cry. If she and Akhtar went to see the unlucky princess together, the princess would be so angry that her blood pressure would be raised and she would vomit blood and die on the spot. in front of myself.

"Forget it, come with me for a walk." She waved her hand, picked up the bag on the table, and walked outside the winery.

Ximu casually grabbed the heavy sword beside him and looked at the back of the Plague Goddess. His eyes revealed a little regret. He had been a player for many weeks and had basically been able to kill all the characters, but he had never killed the Plague Goddess. .

After all, this goddess will be assassinated in the early stage. At this time, her attribute value is too low, and there is no chance to kill the disease goddess.

He had tried to escape with the Plague Goddess before, but he still couldn't escape the Witch of Time's pursuit, and he was destined to die.

Unless he has the ability to defeat the Witch of Time in the early stage, he can prevent the death of the Plague Goddess, but he can defeat the Witch of Time.

Then he can kill the Plague Goddess in the early stage and complete the illustration of killing all the gods.

"Are the grapes here good?" Hiyer walked among the grape trellises, looking at the bunches of grapes, and picked one to taste.

"It's a pity that after two months, there won't be enough manpower to produce enough grapes."

"God, if you want to bring down a disease, there is nothing you can do about it." Ximu replied, not interested in what the God of Plague did.

From his point of view, the game planner did not know how to design a logical and self-consistent game. For the so-called population balance, disease disasters were brought down every once in a while to reduce the population.

What kind of brain circuit could come up with this setting? There are obviously many ways to reasonably limit population growth.

"It doesn't matter, you may die too." Hiyer asked the silver knight beside him, "And the princess you protect may also die."

"If you die, you can go to the next life." Ximu said, and then fell silent again, "And how can humans resist gods."

"Dare to say that, you are a little bit dissatisfied." Hiyer snorted softly, opened her arms slightly, and walked backwards on the grape trellis. The sunlight passed through the gaps between the grape trellises and sprinkled mottled patterns on her. on the body.

"But there's no point in resisting." She smiled a little melancholy, looking at the grapes hanging on the grape rack, "If the grapes are not pruned, then you can't harvest sweet grapes, right?"

Of course not.

Ximu thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud. He was not interested in explaining to the NPC, and even if he explained, the direction of the plot would not change much.

This goddess is set to die at the beginning. No matter what changes in the mind of the Plague Goddess, she will be killed by the Witch of Time and the Witch of Death.

Otherwise, the subsequent plot will not be updated.

"That's just you thinking about gods from a human perspective." He shook his head and said to the melancholy Hiyer:

"Perhaps the gods are sending disasters simply to fulfill their divine duties, just as naturally as wind or rain."

"Huh, how come you don't know?" Hiyer raised his hand, gently placed it on his chest, and said in a joking tone:
"Maybe I am standing in front of you, the goddess of plague."

"I believe it." Ximu responded decisively, looking at Hiyer's slightly stunned look, and analyzed it calmly.

"This is very close to the temple. It is the place where the God of Plague comes. And you wear a veil and don't want others to see your face. You can easily take out 200,000 gold coins. You also know the God of Plague very well."

"If you are a goddess, there is no reason to be surprised."

Hiyer blinked, then burst into laughter, took off her veil, revealing her bright and pretty face.

She tilted her head and looked at the Silver Knight.

"You are a little smarter than I thought, but just a little." Her index finger and middle finger came together, revealing a small gap.

"Human, you should be proud of guessing the identity of the gods."
