When the air leaked out along with the cut trachea and could no longer be sucked into the lungs smoothly, Oscar's eyes were full of horror. The pain caused by not being able to breathe made his lungs feel as painful as stones being stuffed into them.
He wanted to speak out but couldn't.
Under the control of Zhao Xu's powerful attack, his exquisite sword had accurately destroyed Oscar's vocal cords, leaving him like an old blower, constantly opening and closing his throat but unable to control it.
At the moment when the cold light flashed, Oscar couldn't even imagine why his plan to attack people's hearts and minds that had always been smooth sailing could not be delayed for even half a moment and was directly obliterated by Zhao Xu.
It was as if the other party didn't care at all about his "home remedies" that could help him advance quickly.
Among Arthurs, the "monk" who regards money as dirt and has sworn a vow of poverty will not relax his efforts to strengthen his professional level.
Strong strength is the most basic right to breathe in Arthur. Any monster that accidentally breaks into the village can cause the destruction of several families.
Seeing that the other party's consciousness still remained, Zhao Xu glanced at the character card and his own position on the belief axis.
The heinous prisoner Oscar was executed on the spot without trial, allowing him to move further into the chaos camp, but his positioning on the axis of goodness remained basically unchanged.
Regarding the last underground leader of Oru City, Kuroze, Zhao Xu's choice was to use the legendary necromantic staff to imprison his soul, because the other party also had a memory about the behind-the-scenes fund storage place of the entire underground force. , he also needs to inquire about the soul.
As for Oscar, he chose to end it with one blow.
At this time, Zhao Xu had returned to the driving position of the carriage. Oscar behind him kept trying to reach out his hands to cover his wounds, but was unable to move because he was tied tightly.
I can only listen to the approaching death knell.
"Arthur has many rules, but two of them are essentially eternal."
"One means everything is three."
"The other is exchange of equal value."
Zhao Xu seemed to be speaking to the air in front of him, but every word pierced Oscar's heart.
"You once accidentally obtained a folk remedy from a demon that was based on people's hearts. In addition to allowing you to alleviate your own illnesses and advance quickly, it also had a significant price."
Zhao Xu was almost breathless when he heard Oscar's voice, and he knew that the prisoner behind him was about to lose consciousness.
"That folk remedy is essentially a demonic ritual. The key is the ritual part, which allows you to use the overdraft of your lifespan in exchange for rapid promotion. If you are really locked up, you will essentially only have a few years of life."
"By the way, I want to tell you that the human heart is not necessary at all." Zhao Xu said indifferently, "It is just to let you kill and let your soul gradually decay. If you eat similar creatures, your body will emit a stench."
"Otherwise, how could you fall into the abyss smoothly?"
As he spoke, Zhao Xu looked at Oscar with pity for the first time, "In the bottomless abyss, do you know what the lowest level monster is?"
"It's not a coward that looks like a ball of rotten flesh. Its challenge level is at least level 2."
"At the bottom are the level 1 'primordial demons' that are all over the mountains and plains. The only contribution of this rabble is to provide the abyss with despicable hatred for the things around them."
"They are often sold as food or slaves in the abyss cities, or they serve as prey in demon hunting, or they just wander aimlessly, looking for the end of this hopeless life."
"Original demons are the lowest form of demons. Their origins are the shells transformed from chaotic evil mortal souls like you who reached the bottomless abyss."
When Zhao Xu said that the key to the folk remedy was the ritual to obtain demonic power rather than the human heart, Oscar's eyes already showed horror.
When Zhao Xu finally announced that death was not his end, and that he would become the lowest level "original demon" and that this would be his destiny for eternal life, Oscar became genuinely frightened.
It's just that it's too late.
When Oscar finally died, Zhao Xu turned around, raised his hand, and used a "mage trick" to clean up the blood spatter on the ground.
It would be too cheap to say that you are dead and then kill him with a sword.
Angry at Oscar's crime, Zhao Xu chose to make him understand the tragic consequences he would encounter after his death. This was the answer he gave to the villains in the world.
At this time, he was also thinking about the promise made to him by the alliance leader Tang De.
Especially when this was promised under the eyes of all the senior officials.
As long as the hostages can be successfully rescued, many soldiers may not be able to exchange for a small territory even though they have devoted their lives to the army and even dedicated their lives to the entire alliance, and it will fall into Zhao Xu's hands.
Under the serious background of the six sisters brazenly taking action and plundering the wife and daughter of the alliance leader, promising Zhao Xu Falling Star Town didn't sound too much at all.
However, what Zhao Xu suspected was not Tang De's motives, but the motives of the six sisters.
In any case, a candidate like Oscar who has overstretched his potential will not be the top priority of the six sisters.
It's just that there is insufficient information at the moment, and Zhao Xu will not act rashly.
Now his key is to rescue Fleur and Lady Ellie.
No matter Tang De is sincere or fake.
After Sisylvina's will interfered with the Battle of Falling Star Lake, basically the entire belief in Falling Star Lake came under the control of the goddess of magic. Based on this, the Mage Association specially arranged for the establishment of local branches.
As for Zhao Xu, relying on his status as a priest and his relationship with the Archbishop of Winter City, the power of the church was basically under his control.
In this way, Zhao Xu also served as the president of the association and owned the local "territorial rights."
The entire "Falling Star Town" can be regarded as his private territory, to put it mildly.
So Zhao Xu was also revising his plans along the way, constantly thinking about the future layout of Falling Star Town.
He has already felt the aura of "Earth Travel" gradually progressing. During the remaining period, apart from exploring the surroundings, he will not make much movement.
Operating "Falling Star Town" to make it the strongest and most reliable rear area for players after traveling through time has become a key part of Zhao Xu's plan.
Suddenly, on the road leading to the Icefield Mountains, Zhao Xu faintly noticed a motionless shadow in the ice and snow ahead.
He immediately slowed down the speed of the war horse, and at the same time, he took out a pure white snow rabbit from the cage at the bottom of the carriage, which seemed to blend with the world.
Zhao Xu took out the dried food and silently used the second-ring magic to share the body.
The originally ignorant rabbit immediately opened its mouth and swallowed the dried meat in his hand. Then it jumped up and bolted towards the snow ahead.
In an instant, with the power of the spell, Zhao Xu gained vision and smell similar to that of a "wolf" to observe the world.
His vision instantly switched to the snow rabbit, following its gaze as it ran and jumped forward in the ice and snow.
The white snow in front of me seemed to have turned into a trap set by the six sisters.
This situation was somewhat beyond Zhao Xu's expectation. If he had arranged it, he would have postponed it to the first meeting place.
However, the din of the cold air around them calmed down.
Zhao Xu began to feel the condensed murderous intent in this world from Xue Tu's innocent eyes.
In an instant, an afterimage rushed towards him, and he felt that his vision was spinning and shaking violently.
Immediately afterwards, the field of vision became completely black, and Zhao Xu could barely distinguish that the structure in his field of vision was a red scene like mucous membrane.
Just like swallowing through the throat, the spell lost connection after a few seconds.
Zhao Xu, who was not injured at all, also changed his expression.
He was very calm as the snow rabbit was constantly circling in his field of vision. He was not in danger. Through the sweeping scene, he saw hundreds of winter wolves and even a few frost giants dormant.
On his inevitable path, waiting.
Zhao Xu immediately waved his riding whip, and the horse neighed on the spot, then took up its steps and ran forward.
Being able to wipe out hundreds of winter wolves in a village is not a problem for Zhao Xu.
With a few random shots of "extremely effective" "twin" fireballs, he could even wipe out this branch of winter wolves.
The key is, he doesn't want to expose his strength to the six sisters just like that.
The moment he figured it out, Zhao Xu drove the carriage towards the Icefield Mountains.
It stands to reason that climbing the "Icefield Mountains" in this winter is undoubtedly a recipe for death.
After crossing the ice mountain range, there are countless tribes of orcs and half-orcs standing on the Persian plain. With their bravery that exceeds human physical fitness, they cannot cross the ice mountain range in the summer.
Not to mention this cold winter month.
Usually the most cunning and powerful "Northland Hunters" would walk in the Icefield Mountains, collecting information on the frost giants, white dragons, winter wolves, and even the orc tribes on the opposite side, and then feed it back to the Alliance and other forces.
It is said that when there was a shortage of food in the Northland, the elderly were allowed to fend for themselves in the mountains after a year.
Therefore, the Icefield Mountains are a dead land in the eyes of the entire Northland residents.
In addition to being powerful and having many subordinates, the Six Sisters have been able to avoid being wiped out by setting up their lair on the Ice Mountains.
And the first place they agreed on was Jingxin Lake above the mountains.
Zhao Xu was driving a carriage and running wildly on the snow, and soon the winter wolves appeared behind him.
He looked around and almost sighed.
Sure enough, there were hundreds of winter wolves, constantly flying towards this direction.
Zhao Xu also immediately cast several spells, such as making the carriage float into the air to reduce the burden on the war horses. This allowed him to keep a distance from the winter wolf behind him.
Even after doing it like this, it is difficult to solve the doubts in my heart.
Zhao Xu secretly thought that no matter who wanted to plot against him, he should not drive out a pack of winter wolves, because they could not kill him at all. As long as he flew high into the sky, although he would lose his vision due to the wind and snow, these flightless winter wolves Nothing can be done to him.
"Bang."
A huge boulder was thrown from behind by the frost giant, but the resistance when traveling against the wind was too great, and it could not catch up with the speed of Zhao Xu's carriage, so it was left behind.
wrong.
In an instant, Zhao Xu came to his senses. He turned around and looked at Oscar's body that had turned cold in the carriage.
It seems that the "lordship" of Falling Star Town is really not that easy to obtain.
In other words, this is just the first appetizer for the endless murderous intent.
Some people don't want to hand Oscar alive to the six sisters.
In other words, he didn't want Fleur and Mrs. Ellie to come back.
In the alliance, there is a mysterious force that can communicate with the Icefield Mountains, and they want to kill the "hostages" requested by the "Six Sisters" on the spot.
But now Zhao Xu's heart was getting angry.
He was determined to determine the sovereignty of the lord.
This will also greatly help him establish a branch of the association, so anyone who dares to stand in front of him will be eradicated by him.
Zhao Xu immediately turned slightly to the side and kept looking at the location of the ice-cracked canyon ahead.
It is the most difficult and dangerous road leading to the Icefield Mountains. If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff, be pierced by the ice, and even be broken into pieces.
