Chapter 7 Ten Kinds of Shadow Magic

"Ah~ I won!" Norma shouted in surprise. She bet all her belongings on Akhtar.

This immediately made her rich.

"What a nice man." The lady beside her covered her lips and smiled, her eyes sparkling, and she turned to look at the excited Norma beside her and spoke.

"Miss Norma, do you want to make more money?"

"Earn more money?" Norma was stunned for a moment, but she immediately reacted, and the noble lady didn't say anything clearly. She patted Norma on the shoulder and whispered a few words in her ear.

Then the lady stood up and pointed at Akhtar in the duel with the fan in her hand. The meaning was self-evident.

"Lord Akhtar may not be willing to go." Norma explained, and the lady didn't care after hearing this, and turned around and left gracefully.

If she doesn't want to come, she won't force it.

Of course, if she is willing to come, she will naturally give corresponding generous gifts. It depends on whether Akhtar is willing to take the money.

……

...

after a while.

Duelist rest area.

"Sir Akhtar, someone... no, there are many people, have extended an invitation to you." Norma stood at the door, looking at Akhtar who was already carrying a heavy sword and carrying luggage in one hand, with a surprised look on his face. Somewhat nervous.

Now she needs to convey all the invitations from the ladies to Akhtar. As long as one of them succeeds, she can get generous rewards.

"Not interested." Ximu replied casually, completely ignoring the group of NPC ladies and focusing entirely on the side quests.

Norma opened her mouth and swallowed what she wanted to say. She had already expected that the situation would develop like this, and continuing to persuade would be annoying.

And she was also afraid that Akhtar would kill her and sacrifice her soul to the witch. At that time, she couldn't even go to hell.

However, at this moment.

"Perhaps there is an invitation that is worthy of your interest." The owner of the duel arena came over. He raised his hand and pushed up his glasses, which glowed with white light.

In response, Ximu waved his hand and passed by the boss of the duel. He had no interest in games that could not be real.

Not to mention that those NPC ladies are not worth his time.

"Miss Kronos's invitation, if you attend the appointment... you will be given 100,000 gold coins, and I can also recommend you to enter the magic school." The boss of the duel field spoke slowly, and he was not very concerned about whether Ximu wanted to leave.

Anyway, he was just here to convey a message. Whether he wants this opportunity or not depends entirely on Ximu's own choice.

It is normal for strong people to have their own arrogance.

"Where are you meeting?" Ximu walked back, causing the boss of the duel to be silent for a moment, and then he burst into laughter.

He pushed up his glasses and gave the address.

"In room 506 of Brar Street, remember to dress up formally and at least take a shower. This will make Duke Chronos feel happy."

"No, she didn't come for my body anyway." Ximu said casually, carrying the sword and luggage and left.

In response, the owner of the dueling arena shook his head and looked at the man leaving. The duelists in his dueling arena were often invited by ladies to sit in their homes. Most of them would stay overnight and receive generous rewards the next day. leave.

There are also pure chats, but very few.

However, he recalled the image of Duke Kronos, and maybe he really wouldn't keep Akhtar and would just chat with him.

Withdrawing his gaze, the owner of the duel arena turned his gaze to Norma and said, "By the way, Miss Anastasia has something to do with you."

"Yes, I'll be there right away." Norma bowed in a panic and left in a hurry. She felt a little guilty for some reason.

Maybe it's because I made money from my boss.

……

……

Brar Street.

This is the largest commercial street in Lionheart City. Due to the impending disease disaster, nobles and wealthy businessmen from all over the world have to go to see the God of Plague. They will all pass through Lionheart City and take a temporary rest here. .

And this indirectly made Lionheart City prosperous and lively.

The people coming and going were all nobles and wealthy businessmen, all dressed very appropriately, and everyone looked very elegant and noble.

"That... man, is he a duelist, right?" The noble lady passing by covered the lower half of her face with a folding fan, looking at the man passing by carrying a heavy sword and a suitcase.

The man's body was stained with blood and he only wore a helmet to cover his head. He was very unique in Brar Street.

However, due to the popularity of duels in Lionheart City, people were not too surprised by Ximu's dress.

The image of wearing a pair of underpants, holding a sword, and covered in scars is not surprising to people.

"They're just desperadoes who risk their lives for money." The housekeeper, wearing a monocle and meticulously dressed, looked at his curious young lady, shook his head helplessly and explained, "Miss, don't get involved with this kind of person. Relationships, they will do anything for money.”

"For example?" The noble lady's eyes showed curiosity, and she saw the housekeeper shook his head and pointed at Ximu's back.

"Miss, they will sell their bodies and be unfaithful to their future wives."

"That's it." A little disappointed, the noble lady withdrew her curious gaze. In this world, there are gods who are in charge of marriage. There is no polygamy, nor is there a system of polyandry. Both parties will preserve their chastity for each other.

Therefore, even if you look at the matter of men selling their bodies from a female perspective, you will feel... contemptuous.

Of course, morality is morality, and desire is desire.

For some people, this universal moral outlook makes them even more irritated.

at the same time.

Room 506.

"..." Ximu looked at the house number in front of him, raised his hand and knocked it gently, and waited patiently.

Originally, he planned to do a side mission to improve his strength tonight, but a rare invitation was triggered, so naturally he would not miss it.

There is a well-known Witch of Time in the game, Chronos.

After a moment, the door suddenly opened automatically.

Ximu walked in calmly and saw a mature and elegant woman sitting in the living room. Her cool and charming temperament made her reveal a sense of mystery.

"Miss Chronos, what's the matter with calling me here?" He took the initiative to sit down opposite the woman, and his eyes fell on Chronos' face.

There is no doubt that she is beautiful, but there is no way to describe it. As long as you look away, you will immediately forget the appearance of the woman in front of you.

The official setting of the game is that if there is insufficient strength, there is no way to recognize Chronos's face, but when the player completes the game, he has no chance to see the face of the Witch of Time.

It’s hard not to make people wonder whether the official game model has not modeled the Witch of Time at all, so when players’ strength improved in the later period, they simply couldn’t find the Witch of Time.

"What do you think?" Kronos chuckled, picked up the tea cup on the table and sipped lightly, looking at the human opposite, his eyes showing some inquiry.

In response, Ximu calmly shook his head: "I don't know." This was a lie. As a gamer and a multi-game player, he naturally knew the reason.

However, this cannot be said directly, otherwise it will immediately arouse the curiosity of Chronos and forcefully explore the player's memory.

The result is that the player dies and the subplot of Chronos is cut off.

"You are contaminated with the breath of a witch." Kronos chuckled gracefully, withdrew his curious eyes, and said to Ximu:

"A follower of the Death Witch, right?"

"Yes." Ximu didn't hide anything. He had indeed come into contact with the Witch of Death, and he also knew that the Witch of Death was now staying with Chronos.

"Human, won't you try to hide it?" Kronos's eyes narrowed slightly, and his aura became dangerous.

In response to this, Ximu rolled his eyes: "You directly told me about the Death Witch, there is no point in me hiding it."

"Yes." Kronos seemed to accept Ximu's statement, and then took out a book and a black card out of thin air.

"Do you want money or knowledge?"

"I want them all." Xi Mu replied immediately.

Kronos was stunned for a moment, suppressed the smile that raised at the corner of his mouth, nodded slightly and said: "If you want them all, then you need to do one thing for me."

"What's the matter?" Xi Mu asked, and Kronos snapped his fingers, and a shadow appeared out of thin air.

Then an unlucky guy appeared.

It was a handsome young man with a arrogant smile, wearing a suit, with a gorgeous stabbing sword hanging on his waist, and a large number of rose patterns on his clothes.

In this outfit, he is obviously a believer in the God of Beauty and Art.

In the setting of the game, beauty and art are highly linked. Things that are regular, self-consistent, and harmonious are considered beautiful and have artistic value.

The God of Beauty and Art is the most beautiful and the most representative God of art.

"Kill him, I don't want to say the reason." Kronos sighed, his beautiful face filled with sadness, as if he had been bullied.

However, Ximu knew very well that this witch just randomly selected unlucky people who met the conditions in the city to verify his ability.

It doesn't matter who it is, for the witch in front of her, anyone's life can be used as long as she can complete her plan.

Except for her apprentice.

"I... don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately." Ximu said, and Chronos chuckled lightly and looked back.

"If you can reach his room with concealment, you might be able to see his evil deeds."

Ximu pretended to think for a moment and let out a long sigh of relief: "Okay, but I have to get part of the reward first."

"Money or books, you choose whichever you want." Chronos nodded and didn't really care. She had planned to give them all away anyway.

The human being in front of her had an aura close to that of a witch. This aura did not come from the Death Witch, but from the human being itself.

Therefore, it is worth a little investment from her.

"I'll come back and get the money after I complete the mission." Ximu chose to pick up the book and asked Chronos, "Where is he?"

"You need to find it yourself." Shaking her head, Chronos did not choose to tell her. She wanted to see how this human's mind was.

In response, Ximu nodded, took the book and left the room. After seeing the clothes of the assassination target, he was almost able to think of a way to find the target.

It is nothing more than investigating the target location through the Church of the God of Beauty and Art. However, as a multi-game player, there is no need to investigate at all, just go directly to the target location.

Went downstairs.

Ximu raised the book in his hand and couldn't help but feel much better. The book in his hand now recorded ten spells to summon different creatures.

The essence is to use the power of the Witch of Time to summon the reflections of dead creatures in the past and come to the present to fight.

So this book is also called Ten Types of Shadow Magic.

For novices, the ten kinds of shadow magic are extremely precious magical skills. After all, if the skills are not good at the novice stage, it is also an option to use them as combat skill launchers.

In close combat, it is easy to be hacked to death by the enemy in a hurry. If the magic spell is too long, it is easy to be hacked to death by someone close to you.

Using ten kinds of shadow magic to summon different creatures to deal with different enemies, hiding behind yourself, and using various means to assist the summoned creatures in killing enemies is also a very mainstream gameplay.

Even at Ximu's current level, he still has a need to use the ten shadow magics, which can help him pass the game faster.

It is not easy to pass the game Mysterious Door purely relying on your own skills and combat experience.

After all, the balance of combat power in this game is very poor.

……

...

A dark mansion.

"Da da da--",

As regular footsteps echoed down the dark stairs, a man in a black robe gradually walked out of the darkness.

He came to a door and knocked lightly.

"Who is it?" An impatient male voice came from the room, accompanied by a slight suppressed cry.

"It's me, Berthold Tory." Ximu's voice was calm and without any emotion.

There were hurried footsteps in the room, and then the door was suddenly opened, and a man with his upper body exposed and his lower body wrapped in a white towel came out.

He looked at the man outside the door, a trace of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

He had never seen this man before. Although his voice was similar to Berthold Tory, his appearance was completely different.

Before he had time to think about it, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Before he could react, he saw the man in black robe beside him, already pulling away and taking a few steps back.

"Who are you!" The man gritted his teeth and raised his hand to touch his lower abdomen. When he raised his hand, he found that his palm was stained with black blood.

Wait... why is the blood black.

His consciousness suddenly became drowsy. He stretched out his hand to the man not far away, took a step forward, and then fell to the ground helplessly.

"..." Ximu stood there and waited for a while, confirming that the man who fell to the ground had completely lost his breath before taking back the dagger.

The game Mystery Door is an open world, no matter what means you use, as long as you win.

You can gain experience points by poisoning, seducing, besieging, etc., as long as you can kill the enemy, no matter how despicable it is.

And just then.

"Mr. Diniken, are you okay?" A weak child's voice came out. Ximu looked along the place where the voice came from, and saw a little boy with red eyes walking out slowly holding a sheet.

No matter which world, little boys seem to be very attractive to these clergy.
