Time stops for the brave, evil paths quickly pass

Chapter 78 There is an explanation

Yuan Kong temporarily let go of the hidden function of the A key guidance, took out a thousand soks from his pocket, and handed it to the messenger in front of him: "Let me ask you something."

The visitor took it with both hands: "Ask!"

"Do you know Mark's father?"

"Old Mejia, who lives in Mist Village?"

Yuan Kong smiled: "Isn't his forging technology particularly good?"

"Old Mejia's craftsmanship is nothing to say, and the farm tools he made are indestructible."

The visitor lowered his voice mysteriously.

"About three months ago, a group of blue-robed cavalry came to our village. No one recognized the emblem on their robes. They must have come from abroad. They all rode tall horses. The leading female knight brought a I came here specifically to ask Lao Meijia to recast the broken sword! People in the village have gone crazy, saying that Lao Meijia is a master swordsmith from abroad who offended the nobles and came to our Mist Village to take refuge."

Yuan Kong took out another two thousand Soks and said, "Thank you. If there is any news next time, you can come again."

"Of course, of course! Thank you, sir!"

He took the money and went happily.

Combining the current intelligence, it is obvious what happened in the misty mountain stream.

It should be that the alchemy machine that produced the heavy fog in the mountain stream was too old. Some parts had aged and failed and had to be replaced.

The target of the three gangsters who broke into Mark's house was not Mark, but the skilled old Mejia.

In the stage task, a very key word was leaked:
"Pack".

The system is pure Chinese. In Chinese, there are only a few words that can be formed with this character.

Combined with the previous word "heavy fog" -

"A fog-generating device?"

"Although half of it is covered, it's still not difficult to guess. Aretha has already given the answer."

"Enter the misty mountain stream and destroy the fog-generating device. This is the answer. I am 100% or even 90% sure."

Yuan Kong made up his mind, turned around and asked, "Long Po, the three people who kidnapped Mark that you saw using 'Unholy Retrospection' before, can they reappear here?"

Luang Po raised his head, puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"I suspect they are members of the Ethereal Hidden Order. They wear strange clothes. Aretha is well-informed and may have seen them before."

Only then did Long Po nod: "Yes, but this is not the ability of unclean retrospection, but my skill."

She raised her wrinkled, dry palm, and gray-black dirty mana emerged.

The ball of mana kept changing, and eventually it took on a human form.

Luang Po knows how to draw magic patterns. She has sketching skills and enough "precision". At this moment, the form condensed with magic power is eighty-nine points like the image of the gangster captured by Unclean Retrospective!
Aretha only took one look at it, and immediately pointed to the inverted triangle on the gangster's robe and several strange runes under the triangle and said: "My lord, this is the uniform of the Ethereal Hidden Order. They use the inverted triangle as their symbol, and the one below The meaning of the four runes is 'Existence everywhere, source of all things'."

Unsurprisingly.

Next...let's take action!
Yuan Kong turned his head and looked at the three people in the room: "Aretha, I'll give you a task."

Aretha smiled: "Lord, I am listening."

"I suspect that there are members of the 'Ether Hidden Order' in Mist Village. I hope you will find them with Long Po and Mingque. I want to know as much news as possible about the Ether Hidden Order."

If Yuan Kong's speculation is true, then the Ether Latent Cult is the first villain organization pulled out by the "system".

This is a mysterious organization that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. There is a chance that it will continue to oppose Yuan Kong in subsequent tasks.

It's very important to get the information about it. Aretha looked calm: "This is not a problem. But Lord, what are you going to do?"

Yuan Kong smiled and said: "I'm going to the Misty Mountain Stream to have a look. Don't worry about me, I know what to do."

Long Po frowned and expressed his objection: "Captain Yuan, I admit that your fighting ability is good, but you are only at level 2 after all. The fact that you killed Randy at level 4 before was actually a 'win with force', not a 'force' Victory - I was in the city lord's mansion at that time, and Master Aretha was by your side. Randy was timid before fighting. If you really have to put yourself out there, I don't think you can win so easily."

Mingque also said: "That's right, Brother Yuan! The so-called fighting is all about the number of people, so what does it matter if you are of higher rank? If we all stand shoulder to shoulder, we can kill him with just one punch. There is no need to go alone, right?"

No, no.

Both Luang Po and Ming Que were disappointed.

If it were a normal situation, Yuan Kong would of course have to lead people, but now, Yuan Kong doesn't want to talk about martial ethics.

Since he speculated that the stage task was to "destroy the fog-generating device," of course it was to stop immediately, stop frequently, and stop until the machine was dismantled.

In a world that is absolutely still and only Yuan Kong can move, what dangers can there be?
Bringing Aretha and the others is a waste of effort.

You can't put them on a flatbed truck and push them wherever you go.

As for whether there will be a situation that Yuan Kong cannot handle independently...

Ha ha.

When you encounter it, come back to bring in reinforcements. Stop at the right time. It is always Yuan Kong's turn. He moves first, then moves first, draws cards, draws cards, and draws cards again.

Yuan Kong looked at Aretha and asked, "What's your opinion?"

Aretha was very calm: "My lord, you can make decisions as you please. I have a contract with you, and you will not encounter fatal danger."

After Aretha and Yuan Kong formed a contract, Yuan Kong's health increased by 500 points.

Yuan Kong is promoted to level 10, but adds 100 health points;
His earth form currently has 2 lives and only adds 200 HP.

It can be seen that Aretha's vow to Yuan Kong is by no means a verbal promise, but a more profound and mysterious state, and Yuan Kong has received a considerable increase.

In fact.

This "master-servant oath" is part of the ritual of reincarnation, which is one of the most complex rituals in the world.

It required an amount of resources that even Aretha, who was in her prime at the time, could not raise on her own, and had to rely on the superpower Rakshasa Kingdom to activate it.

Under the intervention of the oath, once Yuan Kong encounters great danger, Aretha can immediately sense it and respond.

A level 10 strong man and a master of rituals, how could he have earned his reputation in vain?

Not to mention being able to kill all the enemies in front of Yuan Kong, it is also easy to use strange rituals to help Yuan Kong's golden cicada escape from its shell and seek a non-existent chance of survival in the face of countless deaths.

This is why Aretha dared to let go.

Yuan Kong received support and stood up immediately: "Don't worry, I will not be involved in danger. I will be back within three days at most, no matter whether there is any result or not."

Three days...

Ming Que and Long Po looked at each other without saying anything.

Yuan Kong stood up and said: "Since we don't have any objections, it's settled. Your actions will be subject to Aretha. Aretha, come with me. I have some instructions."

"Yes, Lord."

Aretha stood up and followed Yuan Kong to...

In an unused room next door.
