Dozens of minutes later.
With a loud bang, the dark green snake fell to the ground.
Two of the three pairs of wings on her back were broken, and a long cut was made on her belly, with blood and internal organs scattered all over the ground.
The snake's body was covered with pale crystals, as if it was infected, and the crystal areas were still spreading... Some other parts had turned into wood, and the rigid skin was covered with circles of growth rings.
"Why… "
Sigmund collapsed to the ground. On the huge snake head, his eyes were cloudy and he uttered faint, low questions.
Not far away, the masked man Dante was lying on the ground, his chest and abdomen were also torn open, the same injuries as Sigmund.
But countless green branches spread out from the wound, intertwining and entwining into a ball, stitching the wound together.
Dante slowly stood up as if nothing had happened and walked over.
Next to him were Boccaccio in a tuxedo and Jockey in a black robe.
Several white snakes snaked past, wrapped around the old lantern, and returned it to Qiao Ke's hands.
"The Emerald Magic Lamp... So your target is this..."
The giant snake seemed to understand and muttered to itself.
However, the three of them ignored him. Qiao Ke stretched out a pale arm from his black robe, holding a lantern, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Your Majesty the Emerald Bird, please respond..."
"… "
The glass cover of the lantern was cracked and unresponsive.
"Forget it. She's just a coward who has been lingering on since ancient times. You might as well hope that the sun will rise from the west tomorrow than that you expect her to respond to you."
Bo Jiaqiu on the side laughed.
"Just a piece of trash among the ancient gods."
Dante nodded mechanically, a low comment coming from behind his mask.
The giant snake Tong Kong lying on the ground shrank back, showing shock and anger. Sigmund heard the other party's wanton blasphemous words, but was unable to defend himself, and felt sad in his heart.
At this moment, the lantern slowly emitted a bright green light.
A message that sounded like a sound wave or a thought spread from the Emerald Lamp, still using the ancient Yanita language:
"Human, believe in me, and I will give you supreme power."
Qiao Ke laughed hoarsely.
"Power... the power of doom?"
"Yes, bad luck, misfortune, and calamity... are all controlled by me. Believe in me and act on my behalf in this world. You will become the one who is bound by bad luck."
"So can bad luck defeat fate?"
Qiao Ke continued to ask.
The green light emitted by the Emerald Lamp flickered slightly.
"Misfortune has long since triumphed over destiny. Destiny has fallen, but misfortune remains..."
“That’s amazing!”
Bo Jiaqiu on the side held up his hat and gave a thumbs up.
As he spoke, he nudged Dante beside him with his elbow and said teasingly:
"Dante, why don't you offer your faith?"
The masked man said nothing, but just raised his hand "obediently". The power of the Jingzhe bookmark was transmitted, and countless illusory vines covered with the rings of years entangled the lantern.
The Emerald God Lamp, which was already cracked, suddenly dimmed its green light.
"Human, you..."
There is a hint of doubt in the voice or thought.
"Since bad luck is so powerful, we are not worthy of becoming the scroll holders... But I can introduce you to a more suitable candidate, and you will definitely be satisfied!"
Bo Jiaqiu bent down slightly and moved closer to the lantern, laughing and talking.
He immediately turned to look at Dante and Joke.
"Why don't we give the lantern to Her Majesty Oscar? She should be able to use this lantern to divine the location of the Emerald Bird, and then visit her in person..."
Peng!
The Emerald Lamp suddenly exploded without any warning.
The green light dissipated and fragments flew everywhere.
Sigmund standing aside had dull eyes and despair in his heart.
"Your Majesty the Emerald Bird destroyed the magic lamp..."
What shocked her even more was that the three strange strong men in front of her clearly knew the giant serpent of fate from their words. That was the king of angels that only existed in legends...
No wonder His Majesty the King of the Emerald Bird shattered the magic lamp.
If it falls into the hands of the Giant Serpent of Fate, it might be able to use it to locate the exact location of the Emerald Bird and then go find it.
Of course, what Sigmund didn't know was that Oscar was trapped in the Far East and couldn't get away at all, so how could he have the time to look for the emerald bird... These were just stories made up by Chen Lun to scare people.
It turns out that kingfishers are indeed cautious enough.
Destroy the magic lamp yourself to prevent future troubles.
Bo Jiaqiu sighed with regret, while Qiao Ke in the black robe slowly walked towards Sigmund and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"The god you believe in has left you, so you must feel desperate."
Sigmund opened his mouth, but in the end no sound came out. Qiao Ke stretched out his hand, and the pale snakes wrapped around his arm and moved forward, dancing in the air.
"Do not despair, Sigmund, for you will die whether you despair or not."
ever!
The snakes intertwined, and invisible threads passed through Sigmund's snake heads.
You killed Sigmund, the "Doom Clown", and gained 1,000,000 experience points and 5 points of regional fame!
You have completed the A-rank hidden mission: Clown of Doom!
Obtain mission rewards: 2 million experience points, 30,000 favorability points of Blue Gabor and Sid Mitchell!
"Former guest" Sid Mitchell's favorability towards you has increased and is currently friendly!
The pale snakes beneath the black robes wriggled like tentacles.
It rolled forward and came back with two things.
There are two boxes, one black and one red.
The black box is what is left after Sigmund's fall.
A-level Trickster-Sigmund's Lucky Box
Item description: An item that contains the power of destiny. It looks like an ancient jewelry box, but when you open it, you will find that it is filled with cheap, colorful balloons.
“Will those who believe in bad luck also suffer bad luck?”
Item Effect: Blow up the balloon and it can be used as a one-time consumable. Once the balloon explodes, it will affect all targets within a 100-meter radius, inflicting a negative state of "everything is unfavorable" and continuously reducing the luck value. (Until the luck is cleared, but it is affected by the mysterious resistance)
Item cost: Consume your own luck and sanity to fill the balloon. (Every 24 hours, one balloon will be restored automatically, and a maximum of 20 balloons can be saved)
'It's a nice trick, and it can be very useful in some situations... but for me, the situations where I can use it are probably quite limited.'
Chen Lun thought.
The other red box is a music box.
This is the item that Sigmund carried. It has a red wooden exterior, with high-quality gold inlaid on the edges and corners. There are also some strange and incomprehensible words on it. It is neither a familiar language nor the language of Anita or ancient wizards.
Qiao Ke opened the lid.
A male puppet is revealed.
It had no facial features, but stood upright, wearing a striped white suit with a scarlet tie hanging on its chest.
Unknown Token-The Music Box of the Epoch Immortal
Qiao Ke did not twist the spring rashly, but put it away carefully.

A few days later.
Tus-Port, Zortan Hotel.
Raphael hosted a banquet for five students including Felice Canno to celebrate.
"It's a pity that I was unable to invite Her Majesty Jackspeter, but I still want to express my gratitude to her... If it weren't for Mr. Fren's timely intervention, we might have died on that deserted island."
The handsome young man with long brown curly hair raised his glass and smiled.
"Thanks to Mr. Fren, I can finally have a good night's sleep. The dreams about my ancestors have not appeared again in the past two days... And the bad luck that befell Feliceano and I was also eliminated with her help. I hope you can express my gratitude on my behalf."
"Yes, Mr. Raphael."
Polaris smiled and nodded, also raising his glass.
Qingtian Xiaoyu stood up and urged everyone to clink their glasses:
"Come, praise our teacher and our courage to go sailing and take risks!"
"Praise Professor Jack!"
Lucy, Ahsoka, and Feliciano laughed and raised their glasses cooperatively.
Ding Dong!
Chen Lun's eyes reflected the scene in the hotel, and he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, sighing secretly:
'It's time to let them go. Learning and traveling is a long process, and I can't stay here forever...'
Thinking this way, he closed the book in his hand and put it back on the bookshelf.
'And judging from the situation of Polaris and Sunny Rain, they can't easily integrate knowledge from adjacent paths like I can to create unique skills... The control experiment is meaningless. This is not a universal function of the player panel. I have unknown uniqueness.'
Chen Lun took a step and walked slowly between the bookshelves. He glanced at the environment on the fifth floor of the library and felt happy.
After developing the ultimate skill "Four Sides of Destiny", he felt more and more that this ability was powerful and convenient... His true self was hidden behind the scenes, doing what he wanted to do, and the rest of the trivial matters could be handled by the four incarnations in most cases.
They each inherited a part of their own unique power, their strength far exceeded that of ordinary saint incarnations, and they also had independent personalities and thinking abilities... Even when they joined forces, the ordinary four saints were no match for them, and Sigmund was a typical example.
"Keep reading... There are still seven or eight bookshelves of books that I haven't finished reading. I can't let them go to waste."
Chen Lun smiled, raised his hand to touch the spine of the book, and started the "quantum reading" mode.

Time flies.
More than a month passed quietly.
The weather in the Kingdom of Byron became even colder.
During this period of meditation, Chen Lun finished reading all the mysterious books in the secret collection room on the fifth floor of the St. Byron College Library.
A total of 7,656 magic books, with the enhancement of "experience bonus entries" and "knowledge collector LV5", brought Chen Lun nearly 20 million experience points, 11 skill points and 80 attribute points.
In addition, the deaths of circus players in wonderland and hidden dungeons, as well as the killing of polluted creatures in the spirit world, continuously provided Chen Lun with nearly 5 million experience points.
In addition, there are 2 million experience points shared by the Prideful Cross, whose fate was changed and led to the dark world to hunt.
Chen Lun's current panel reserves have reached an astonishing 51.6 million experience points, which is enough for him to max out his main career level.
Living room in the professor's apartment.
The gentleman in the black hat sat upright on the sofa, drinking hot milk quietly.
No one noticed that he was secretly operating the panel, transferring a large amount of experience points to Sequence 4 - Clown LV40...
The golden light flashed continuously.
Sequence Four-Clown LV60 (MAX)!
