As Jason raised his finger, the force field of [Protection from Evil] immediately hit the 'food' in front of him.
Immediately, the vines falling down like a rain of arrows stagnated one after another. They seemed to be frozen in mid-air, motionless, but the ball that spread out from these vines, which was the size of a water tank, trembled like an electric shock.
A series of ripples appeared on the huge ball.
Layer upon layer of shaking, just like the stomach of a fat man who keeps jumping up and down.
But there is no sense of joy here.
There is only a ferociousness that penetrates into the bone marrow.
With a deep roar, a crack opened on one side of the ball.
Thick and fishy-smelling saliva flowed straight down from the gap between the teeth full of broken teeth.
Roar!
The monster named 'Dark Coconut' is still struggling.
But in the face of the proficient level of [Protection from Evil], such a struggle is useless.
You know, Jason's proficient level of [Protection from Evil] is no longer an ordinary [Protection from Evil]. After the special blessing of the 'Keeper of Secrets', and the 'Blood of the Raven' fused with the 'Blair Expulsion' , its power has long surpassed proficiency, and even experts, or even higher-level masters, cannot compare with it.
So, the ending is doomed.
puff!
There was another roar, and explosive points appeared on the body of 'Dark Coconut', and the ball-like body became shriveled directly like a leaking rubber ball.
A crystal the size of a little finger just fell from it.
Jason raised his hand to catch the crystal, washed it with the spirits on the side, and threw it into his mouth.
Click!
The sharp teeth easily cut through the crystal.
Immediately, a hot, sweet liquid filled Jason's mouth.
hot chocolate!
Jason's eyes lit up, and after chewing several times, he swallowed.
[Swallow the core of the dark coconut!]
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries are recovered to an excess level!]
[Saturation +23]
[Saturation: 39]
[Excitement of eating +1]
[Eating Excitement: 5]
…
The excitement of eating!
Jason's eyes lit up when he saw the prompt in front of him.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
After checking the surroundings and confirming that there was no danger, Jason chose a hidden corner and chose to upgrade [Protection from Evil].
[Does it consume 30 points of satiety, 5 points of food excitement, and improve protection against evil (proficient → expert)?]
"yes!"
[Protection against evil (expert): You are an expert in this spell-seal secret technique. On the basis of the original, you also enhanced it with a special power, and fused a similar power to strengthen it! At night in the city, it allows you to ignore those malice, but you still need to consume a lot of physical strength to activate this spell seal secret technique! Remember: just the city! In the inheritance of the night watchman you have, a certain night watchman made some changes to it, so you also mastered this kind of long-range attack skills; similarly, the changes you made to it can also be added To such inheritance; effect: 1, a special force field attached to the surface of the body, which can not only defend against the attacks of negative energy creatures (chariot level), but also expel them and their attached power (chariot level); 2. You can direct the power of expelling evil at creatures or objects within a radius of 10 meters with you as the center, and perform a long-distance attack.]
…
[Curse seal copy: You can store a protection against evil in advance, it has the same consumption as normal protection against evil, but because of your improvement, it becomes able to exist for 5 days; within 5 days, the power of protection against evil will gradually weaken , at the end of the 5th day, the power of the spell protection against evil will completely disappear; the protection against evil can be replenished at any time during the 5 days; only a brief polyphonic syllable (Yi) is required for release]
…
Expert-level knowledge of body conditioning took Jason more time than ever.
But it was only ten seconds.
When Jason opened his eyes again, a smile appeared on his face.
Not only the sense of accomplishment after the long-sought goal is achieved, but also a sense of security in his heart—he knows that he is one step closer to self-protection in the true sense.
Therefore, Jason couldn't wait to look at the next level of demand for [protection from evil].
"The next level is the master level, which requires 35 points of satiety and... 8 points of food excitement?!"
"8 o'clock?!"
Jason was taken aback.
Calculated according to the previous ratio, it should be 6 points of food excitement, but at this moment it exceeds 2 points.
"Could there be any changes?"
"Master level, master level."
Jason whispered.
Jason wasn't frustrated by spending more than expected.
Instead, all he had were surprises.
Because he is very clear about the principle that you get what you pay for.
He is not afraid of the required satiety and food excitement, he is only worried about not having enough.
After all, [Protection from Evil] is his only effective means of dealing with weirdness.
What should I do if my satiety and excitement of eating are not enough
Just eat slowly.
With this in mind, Jason moved his hands and feet, and when he came out of the hidden corner, he jumped up and pulled the shriveled 'dark coconut' off the ceiling.
After rinsing off the spirits again, Jason built a simple bonfire.
For Jason, whose cooking skills are only basic, he has always followed two simple principles.
First, there is nothing that cannot be baked.
Second, everything can be stewed.
As for which of the two to choose
Then look at the tools at hand.
And at the moment, there is no doubt that the choice is: baked!
Under the flames, the dry and flat 'Dark Coconut' quickly wrinkled, and the fragrance appeared again.
Jason tore off strips of roasted vines, sucked them into his mouth as if eating noodles.
Crunch, crunch.
It still feels like seaweed.
The shriveled balls are kelp knots.
Compared with the 'core' just now, the taste of the food in front of me has become ordinary.
But Jason didn't mind at all.
He would not waste it, and after eating all the food at an extremely fast speed, the prompt in front of him came as promised.
[Eating the slough of the dark coconut!]
[Physical strength and energy are recovered to a high degree!]
[Saturation +9]
[Saturation: 18]
…
"18 satiation points, 6 lives?"
The level of hunger in front of him made Jason feel a little uneasy.
Without 30 lives, he always feels that life is incomplete.
Not only is it a sense of security, but it will also affect his talent.
At least, he will not practice [Pruss Griffon Body Training] now.
“More food!”
As Jason thought about it, he looked at the veteran site in front of him again.
The smell of 'food' that was filled before has all disappeared.
All that was left was a pile of corpses.
Jason frowned as he looked at the glaring or unbelievable corpses.
Clearly, the Veterans Site is the trap!
It is a trap set by the 'Ghost Squad' against the Prussian family.
Jason can guarantee that even without his notice, the Prussian family will find this place through the explosion on the street.
In other words, the reason why the 'Ghost Squad' chose such a high-profile way of explosion is to attract the attention of the Pruss family.
"Is it to avenge the 'Phantom Thorn'?"
"No!"
"wrong!"
"Avenging the 'Phantom Thorn' is just one of them."
"More reasons are to attract more vitality from the Pruss family!"
Jason, who deduced this conclusion, narrowed his eyes.
He had been to Pruss' estate yesterday.
The defense there is strict, but it is nothing to the 'Ghost Squad', and there is no need for such a troublesome layout.
unless…
The real guard force of the Prussian family is not in the Prussian Manor.
A guard force that makes the 'Ghost Squad' fearful.
Plus the purpose of the 'Ghost Squad' appearing in Xinde City.
Combining them, Jason came up with an answer in an instant!
'The name sung in the starry sky'!
The guarding forces of the Prussian family are searching for the 'name sung in the stars'!
As for the 'name sung in the stars' told him by the female student council president before, it is fake and does not exist
Jason couldn't be sure if the other party was lying.
After all, it's about the family, so it's not surprising that the other party did something that violated the principle.
However, these are none of his business for the time being.
He cares more about what he can get out of it.
Or to be precise, how much food he was able to get.
Can the 'The Name of the Starry Sky' be eaten
Is it tasty
What does it taste like
How much 'food' does 'Ghost Squad' have left
Is it enough for him to have a full meal
With this in mind, Jason walked out of the veterans' site.
The female pastry chef who was staying in the carriage in the distance looked at Jason who came out, and immediately wanted to jump off the carriage, but thinking of Jason's previous order, she forcibly held back.
She looked at Jason, and after Jason nodded, she jumped out of the carriage.
"Jason, are you okay?"
The female pastry chef who trotted all the way to Jason asked.
"trap."
"Call the police."
After Jason gave a short answer, he looked to the other side of the lawn.
Two vehicles belonging to the Pruss family were galloping towards them.
The car stopped.
The old Teddy opened the car door and got out.
Several entourages followed behind with weapons in their hands, and two of them were reciting "Tufuyu" in a low voice, with complicated handprints in their hands. Jason could clearly perceive that there was an inexplicable feeling as the handprints were completed. The force field appeared on Old Teddy.
After confirming the protection of the force field, this stocky middle-aged man rushed over at an astonishing speed.
"Mr. Jason."
After nodding to Jason, the other party didn't stop, and led people to attack the veteran's site.
After a while, the patriarch of the Prussian family came out with an ugly expression.
"Thank you for everything you have done for the Prussian family."
Standing in front of Jason, the old Teddy thanked him again.
Obviously, the patriarch of the Prussian family has figured out the cause and effect.
"I'll give you something to thank."
"Please be sure to accept it."
"You deserve it."
The other party said so.
Jason nodded calmly.
Just like what old Teddy said, he deserved it, and he wouldn't refuse it naturally.
At the same time, with Jason who had just deduced, he could understand why the other party did this.
Win him over.
When the family's vital force cannot be mobilized, use him as a 'shield'.
Jason, who has been honed in the "City That Never Sleeps", doesn't mind such "utilization".
The two parties are trading with each other and each takes what they need. As long as the other party can provide enough bargaining chips, Jason will help according to the agreement.
Of course, the principles that should be followed must still be followed.
He eats everything.
Just don't suffer.
"Do not worry."
"This thank you is enough to satisfy you."
Seemingly aware of Jason's indifference, old Teddy immediately emphasized.
Then, the patriarch of the Prussian family suddenly stepped forward, lowered his voice and said—
"I have a secret to share with you."
