[Because, the horns on the head of the Demon King are like the wings of the Celestial Clan in the previous world. It is an extremely sensitive part, and only those close to it can touch it.]
Shao Ci: "!" Hello? ! What kind of weakness is this... Well, it is indeed a weakness, but it is different from what he thought!
[Moreover, it seems that the act of directly touching the corner of the other party will be regarded as a marriage proposal among the demons.]
Shao Ci: "??" What
Then the system sent the corresponding information to Shao Ci's mind. After all, the demons are a race of the weak and the strong, and if they fancy anyone, they will grab it directly.
And the general demons will try their best to avoid their horns being touched by the other party... If they are really touched, it can be said to be a great shame. If the strength is not as good as the other party, they will forcefully marry the other party.
In short, Shao Ci's behavior is probably similar to human sexual harassment or something.
Shao Ci raised his head again, looked at his hands, "..."
He actually, without noticing, sexually harassed the Demon King who is the ultimate villain boss...
What should I say! This is simply courting death, okay? ! No wonder Wendell never used this weakness even though it was pointed out in the original work, he absolutely knows about it! !
Shao Ci felt that he was 80% finished, and he would definitely be killed in the next moment. Although it is said that using the healing ability can increase the favorability of non-human beings, the possessed state of the Demon King is different. I don’t know if it is the favor of the spirit of the holy tree or his favor!
But the Demon King raised his head, and looked at Shao Ci coldly with his bewitching eyes of different colors, but because the light red on his face hadn't faded, his murderous aura was not as strong as before, "You are the first person I have ever seen A man who dared to do such a thing."
Shao Ci: "Well..." The others probably died before they touched the Demon King's side.
Speaking of which, he succeeded this time because the other party really looked down on him, but because he was aroused, he wanted to kill him slowly at close range... In the end, he succeeded. Is this luck or misfortune? !
The next moment, the murderous aura on the Demon King's body seemed to grow stronger.
Shao Ci tightly closed his eyes, just waiting to die.
"I still need to think about it."
Consider, consider what
Shao Ci didn't react for a long time. He opened his eyes and saw that the body of the Demon King had turned into a cloud of mist and dissipated—the possession was over.
"Could it be..." Shao Ci was startled by his own thoughts, "Could it be that he is really considering whether to agree to my marriage proposal?!"
This insane villain, who never puts human life seriously, and whose ultimate goal is to destroy the entire continent, actually left because he was thinking about whether to agree to his marriage proposal! That's it!
This is so magical, Shao Ci almost wondered if he was dreaming, he felt that the image of the Demon King in his heart was slightly refreshed...
Afterwards, the surrounding vines scattered directly, and Shao Ci fell to the ground. Looking up again, the Holy Tree Spirit with light green hair was sitting next to the vines, looking very tired, with his eyes slightly closed.
It seems that the Demon King is really gone.
Shao Ci healed himself again with his supernatural power, and it took a while for his body to return to normal. After all, he was injured too badly before... Speaking of it, it is fortunate that he has the healing power, otherwise he might not even be able to stand up now.
"But will things really go so smoothly..."
The devil just ran away, wouldn't he leave some traps or something to trap him
So Shao Ci set up his defensive magic and walked towards that side very vigilantly, but nothing happened along the way. Occasionally, a few vines that were still contaminated with demonic energy attacked him, but this was not for Shao Ci. Words are not a threat at all.
In this way, he has come before the spirit of the holy tree.
Shao Ci: "..." It really went so smoothly!
Shao Ci lowered his head and reached out to touch the spirit of the holy tree. He felt that the demonic energy on the other party was still as strong as before, and it would not be possible to purify it for a while. Even if he was willing to spend a few months here to purify, the outside The dark elves can't wait any longer!
It seems that we still have to use the most unscrupulous method.
Shao Ci said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, but I did this kind of thing to save the world...!"
As if sensing something, the Spirit of the Holy Tree opened his eyes, but this time they were a pair of emerald green eyes, extremely clear.
"You came."
Shao Ci's body stiffened immediately, "..." Hey, I originally wanted to take advantage of the other party's coma to solve the matter, but now the other party suddenly woke up, what's going on? Hey!
"That, that, I'm really sorry I didn't come to save you before." Shao Ci said quickly, and the hand that was about to untie the opponent's clothes quickly retracted.
"It's okay." The other party smiled softly, "After all, I beg you to be difficult for others."
Is the Spirit of the Holy Tree actually such a gentle persona? Before seeing so many vines, Shao Ci had bad associations.
"But do you trust me that much?" Shao Ci said, "I'm just a human being, right? What if I try to harm you?"
"In that case, there is no other way." The spirit of the holy tree said: "Besides, you have a special power... As a holy tree, I can also feel the feelings of all the dark elves towards you , you are definitely not that kind of person."
"So that's how it is..." Shao Ci heaved a sigh of relief, he probably would have been in a lot of trouble if he hadn't acquired the favorability of the dark elves before.
Now that it's all done, I feel like there's nothing more to do.
So Shao Ci bit the bullet and said, "Actually, I have a method that can completely purify you, but, but that method is a little bit..."
"I know." To Shao Ci's surprise, the other party said so.
Shao Ci: "Huh?"
"At least I have inherited memory." The spirit of the holy tree said: "I have also heard about some people with purified bodies."
Shao Ci: "..." It turns out that his cheat was not randomly thought up by the system, or was there an example before? !
The next moment, the vines wrapped around his body, Shao Ci raised his head, and was gently kissed on the cheek by the other party.
"As long as you do this, it's fine, right?" The hand of the handsome young man with light green hair was still gently stroking Shao Ci's cheek, but those vines had already entangled in something bad.
Shao Ci: "...!" Ahh, although it is true, what is going on here! Why does he feel like he's been tricked again!
Although the process was a bit ghostly, the ending was still similar to what Shao Ci thought. In short, there was one more monster after the purification.
After the relatively unharmonious incident ended, the devilish energy was also quickly purified. At this moment of joy, Shao Ci seemed to hear the spirit of the holy tree sigh softly.
As if expressing regret for something... Those green eyes looked at Shao Ci with some reluctance.
"Finally, I'll give you a present."
Shao Ci seemed to feel that the other party pressed a kiss on his forehead, as if something warm poured into his body.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was still standing outside the body of the holy tree... so it turned out that it was his spiritual body that entered the tree before.
Cheers could be heard vaguely behind him. Shao Ci took a serious look, and saw that the black color on the tree had faded, and the huge canopy had also returned to its emerald green color.
As if expressing joy, colorful light spots fell from the leaves. When the light spots fell on his body, Shao Ci only felt refreshed, as if he had become the most perfect state in an instant.
The other dark elves were similar. They thought that they would surely die, but such an unexpected joy happened, and they almost wanted to kneel down and worship Shao Ci.
The banquet, which was halfway through, continued to be more lively, but when the dark elves didn't notice, Shao Ci, who was the protagonist of the banquet, disappeared at some point.
But inside the palace, the atmosphere was much more tense than outside.
"Are you really going to leave?" Igleia looked over with complicated eyes, and clenched her hands secretly.
"Yes." Shao Ci said, "Now that the holy tree has been purified, I don't think there will be any problems with the dark elves within a hundred years, so I should go."
"If..." After Iglea said these two words, he has never kept anyone, and he has never shown favor to any human beings. He seemed to be extremely difficult, and then spit out the next words, "If you stay , I can sign a contract with you and share half of your life... In this way, do you still want to leave?"
For Iglea, this is the first time he has tried to say such soft words to someone.
If it were any other human being, they would have hesitated for a long time when they heard Igleia's words.
It is well known that dark elves have an extremely long lifespan, no matter how powerful a human being is, they can only live for two to three hundred years, and the most common dark elves have a lifespan of five or six hundred years.
What's more, it was such a beautiful dark elf king who proposed this sentence, and it was simply impossible for him to refuse.
"I'm sorry." Shao Ci said without hesitation: "I still have things to do, so I can't stay here."
Igleia's expression was gloomy for a moment, and then he returned to his indifferent look, "I just want to repay the favor, you don't need to apologize, it's your fault for refusing this matter."
Shao Ci heaved a sigh of relief. It's not that he didn't know that Igleia had a high degree of favorability, but of course he couldn't make any reply.
Fortunately, Igleia is a relatively normal person. If he was rejected, he would just give up, otherwise he would cause a lot of trouble.
In fact, Igleia originally wanted to engage in prison play, but after seeing Shao Ci sacrifice himself for the dark elves, he could no longer do such a thing of forcing Shao Ci.
"However, if you regret it in the future, you can come back to me at any time." Igleia said, then looked at the dark elf guard captain aside, "Get the fruit of the sacred tree."
The fruit of the sacred tree is the fruit of the sacred tree, and it takes a hundred years to grow one. Human beings can improve their physical fitness, enhance their spiritual power and affinity for magic, and so on. There are also many benefits for other races to take it, and it can be said to be an extremely precious existence.
Shao Ci looked at the crystal-clear fruits in the box, and felt relieved. His purpose of coming here was finally fulfilled!
Although there were many accidents during the process, the mother who met the villainous big boss and was beaten did not recognize it, and then sacrificed her integrity to fight against a tree...but the ending is good enough!
"Then I'll take my leave first." After all, Shao Ci was here to create an image, and he spoke a little more seriously.
"Don't you want to stay longer?" Igleia looked a little disappointed, then turned his head, "Now you are the hero who saved the holy tree, everyone likes you very much, why don't you stay longer How many days?"
Shao Ci actually wanted to stay, but the time was too tight. He shook his head, "I have to go back now. And if we say goodbye, it will destroy the current atmosphere, won't it?"
"Okay." Igleia raised his head this time, looked straight at Shao Ci, and said, "Our dark elves will be your forever friends. If you encounter trouble, you are very welcome to come over, we will definitely I will do my best to help you.”
...
…
In this way, Shao Ci left the dark elves from the teleportation formation, and Iglea specially asked the head of the dark elf guard to escort him away, but Iglea seemed to be in a bad mood, so he went back to the bedroom directly.
After being teleported to the outside world, the head of the dark elf guard pointed out the direction, and finally bowed deeply, then turned and went back.
"Master Brave, the matter is finally resolved?" Ewings' figure quietly appeared beside Shao Ci, "Before, all my perception was blocked, and I don't know what happened."
"The matter is completely resolved." Shao Ci nodded, "It's just that there was a little trouble in the middle, and it should be fine."
Presumably, a villain boss like the Demon King is not so casual in wanting to possess himself. The existence of the spirit of the holy tree is not everywhere, so he can rest assured for a long time.
Then, Shao Ci, who was relaxed all over, looked at the trail full of weeds and shrubs in front of him, which couldn't be called a road at all, and was suddenly stunned.
He forgot... He can't do things like crossing the forest by himself, okay!
If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't be so pretentious, and I'll go back together when those mercenary groups come over!
hateful.
Shao Ci had no choice but to look at Ewings who was asking for help, "I'm sorry to trouble you..."
"As long as the brave man needs it, I will be happy to help you." Ewings smiled slightly, then hugged Shao Ci by the waist, and hurried towards one direction briskly.
"...Actually, I want to say I'm carrying it on my back!" Shao Ci said.
Ewings said, "It's already too late?"
After thinking about it, Shao Ci knew that Ewings must have done it on purpose, "Forget it... just be happy."
After all, it was a tiring day, and Ewing's arms were quite safe, so he didn't have to worry about any danger (other monsters were already scared away when they felt the breath of this high-level monster from a distance), Shao Ci unconsciously Fell asleep in his arms.
Looking at the sleeping Shao Ci, the corner of Ewings' mouth curled up, and there was a rare tenderness on that gorgeous face, "Have a good rest, Mr. Brave."
You will have sweet dreams.
—
Soon, Shao Ci returned to the Holy Capital.
Of course, he didn't come back here with the same painstaking efforts to hide his identity as when he went there.
After getting the items needed for the mission, there was no need to hide his identity. Shao Ci revealed his identity as a brave man, and immediately shocked a large group of people in the Mercenary Association.
The people of the first mercenary group were even more shocked. They finally understood why Shao Ci was so strong. It's a pity that they had such a prejudice before and humiliated the brave like that. Just thinking about it makes them want to commit suicide Apologize.
And when the people in this remote town learned about the changes in the Dark Elf city, their shock was not as strong as before. After all, he is a brave man chosen by God.
Then Argente, son of Grand Duke who is a fan of Shao Ci, immediately sent the best carriage to escort Shao Ci back to the holy capital. If his family didn't allow it, it is said that he wanted to become a priest directly.
The speed of coming back is several times faster than the speed of going.
...
…
"Yes, this is indeed the fruit of the sacred tree." The young Pope with long silver hair and a perfect appearance looked at the wooden box in his hand, looked at Shao Ci in front of him, and said with a blank expression: "Congratulations, brave man, you are done!" first task."
The people around looked at Shao Ci with even more admiration. They probably knew what had happened in the Kent Mountains where the dark elves were located, and they believed in their hearts that Shao Ci was indeed a very outstanding brave man.
Shao Ci said: "Excuse me, is there any news about Wendell now?" Wendell is more important to him than this task!
The young pope's eyes turned cold, but no one noticed. He said in the same tone as usual, "You don't have to care about this matter."
Shao Ci silently lowered his head. Looking at it like this, he probably hasn't caught Wendell yet, as long as Wendell is fine now.
"You've finished the first task. You're tired too. Take a good rest tonight." The other party's voice suddenly softened a lot.
Shao Ci was a little surprised. When he looked up, he saw that the Pope still had that indifferent expression, as if what he heard before was his own illusion.
After Shao Ci rested in the Holy Capital for a few more days, the Pope finally revealed the content of the second task.
It is to obtain the essence of water in Lake Ruth, which is said to be inhabited by extremely powerful water fairies.
Shao Ci, who knew the plot of the original text, managed to obtain the essence of water in just a few days. After all, it was just a copy of the method in the original text, and it was not difficult at all.
And the water fairy was not infected by the magic energy at all, so it did not become the target of the strategy.
In the absence of monster purification, Shao Ci's attack target was temporarily determined to be Ewings with the highest force value around him.
After completing the task for the second time, and it went so smoothly, the eyes of everyone looking at Shao Ci softened, and those who were not optimistic about him also completely changed their attitudes.
After completing these two tasks, Shao Ci got a chance to inherit. This is said to be the inheritance left by the first brave man. That brave man was also the strongest person on the mainland at that time, but he was eventually defeated by the Demon King.
It's just that when he died, he also severely injured the Demon King. Otherwise, this continent would have been occupied by the Demon King long ago.
This inheritance is left by the brave man with his last strength. It is said that it is about the memory of the devil, which can give people a little understanding of the moves of the devil.
Shao Ci was entangled, this inheritance should have been given to Wendell, but now there is no way to bring Wendell back... Anyway, it is just to look at memory or something, it should not affect the ending.
With all kinds of complicated emotions, Shao Ci walked into the hall like this.
At this time, the Pope was already waiting inside. He changed out of the complicated clothes, only wearing white clothes, and stood there quietly. No one who saw him could contact this cold and beautiful boy with the position of the Pope.
Shao Ci's eyes widened in astonishment after seeing the environment in the hall clearly.
This place was very familiar to him, and Shao Ci was sure that he had never been to this place before.
And what surprised him the most was the crystal coffin in the center of the hall.
Shao Ci still remembered a dream he had a long time ago, and in the dream, he seemed to be lying in some kind of transparent coffin.
Could it be that the dream is really a prophetic dream
"You're here." The silver-haired pope over there raised his head, glanced at Shao Ci lightly, and said, "You care about the holy coffin?"
"Ah, yes, yes." Shao Ci thought this was nonsense, or anyone would be shocked to see a coffin in front of them.
"This is a holy object." The Pope gently brushed the crystal coffin with his hand, "It is said that those who are loved by God can have immortal bodies, and after they die, they can be resurrected when they lie in this holy coffin. .”
Shao Ci: "... My Lord Pope, is this just a legend? After all, I have never heard of any resurrection. There are so many brave men chosen by God."
"No, it's true." The light tone of the silver-haired boy made people believe his words subconsciously, "Those people can't be resurrected, it's just because they are not valued by God at all... Even the brave men chosen by God So what, it’s just a tool.”
Shao Ci: "!" Hey, is it really okay for you to say that others are tools in front of a brave man? !
But at this time, the other party looked up at Shao Ci, and for a moment when he was stared at by those ice blue eyes, Shao Ci only felt his mind went blank, and he had already forgotten what he was going to say just now.
Those eyes were extremely cold, devoid of any emotion, not human at all. Shao Ci subconsciously took a step back.
The silver-haired pope didn't care about Shao Ci's actions at all, but walked slowly in front of him, and said, "Now, lie down in the holy coffin, this is the first step to start the inheritance."
Shao Ci had a feeling of resistance to this holy coffin from the very beginning, and always felt that something bad would happen if he got close to it. In the original text, because it was not very important, he only briefly mentioned this inheritance, but this situation cannot be tolerated now. He escaped.
Shao Ci took a deep breath and lay down in the crystal coffin. The temperature around his body seemed to drop a lot in an instant, and the scene in front of him was distorted in an instant.
In a trance, he seemed to be possessed by a person, using a first-person perspective to watch a terrible battle that was destined to fail.
The legendary Demon King was far more terrifying and ruthless than when he appeared in front of him before.
...
…
The silver-haired Pope looked down at the person lying quietly in the crystal coffin, bent down, and a very beautiful flower made of condensed ice emerged in his hand, and placed it next to the person's cheek.
Those icy blue eyes reflected the other person's face, he slowly lowered his head, and gently pressed a kiss on Shao Ci's forehead.
"Don't worry, only you... are special."
