Chapter 106: It's a close call for me to get out of this Greek Li Ning
What made Nico willingly offer up the Broken Spear artifact in his hand was not the head of the Athenian lackey.
To be honest, although that Athenian lackey was a bit troublesome, he was not a real threat to the Spartan king.
It's just that Nico is too busy fighting to devote more energy for the time being.
What made him willingly hand over the broken spear to Xu Mu was the three sentences Xu Mu said to him.
"I am the messenger of God, and I am here at the order of the gods to take away the Spear of Leonidas that should have belonged to your daughter. She knows that you abandoned her at the bottom of , so she doesn't want to see you now."
"Your father-in-law once defended the last glory of Sparta with 300 warriors and this divine spear at the Battle of Thermopylae, but you are unable to bring out its value because you are a mortal. You cannot awaken the true form of the divine spear. It will only go to waste if it remains in your hands."
"You don't have to worry about your daughter. She is on a journey to find her mother and biological father. I will be by her side to protect her."
Just these three sentences made Nico believe it without a doubt!
If this handsome stranger in front of me is not a messenger of God, how could he know so many things?
Not only do they know that he threw his daughter off the cliff with his own hands.
He also knew the details of his father-in-law Leonidas's Battle of Thermopylae.
And what shocked him most was.
This young man.
She actually knew that he was not Cassandra's biological father!
He knew that Cassandra's mother had had a spiritual union with a forerunner and had given birth to a daughter.
And I can only be considered a stepfather.
Nico knew this matter clearly, but he had never mentioned it to anyone!
No one will know about this except the gods who guard Greece and look down on all living things!
In other words, this handsome foreigner is definitely a messenger of God blessed by all gods!
"She...she's still alive?"
"Cassandra, my daughter, she is still alive?" Nico's voice trembled, his eyes flashing with incredible joy.
For so many years, he has always felt guilty.
After a moment's pause, he took out the broken spear tremblingly.
"This item is definitely not mine. Please pass it to Cassandra. Please also tell my daughter that what I did back then was really out of helplessness. I don't expect her to forgive me, but as long as she can live in peace, it's enough..."
The old things that were buried in his heart were brought up again, causing this tough man who had killed countless enemies in front of outsiders and was so majestic to burst into tears and sob.
Xu Mu took the spear and threw it into his backpack. He stood quietly there, looking at Nico who was hunched over in pain in front of him.
He was familiar with the plot and knew why Nico threw his daughter off the cliff.
In this ancient century when human intelligence was not yet fully developed and even the geocentric theory had not yet been proposed.
Humans believe that everything beyond their comprehension comes from the hands of God.
The divinity has not been completely extinguished, and people’s faith in the gods is greater than that in heaven.
The religious power that emerged from this had a voice that was above all political rights.
At that time, a high-ranking prophet in the Spartan tribe predicted that Cassandra's half-brother Theos would lead Sparta to destruction and must be killed as soon as possible.
Nico, the king of Sparta, was powerless to change theocracy.
In this age, no one can go against God's will, otherwise it would be blasphemy against God and the offender would have to pay for it with death.
He could only watch helplessly as the executive officer prepared to throw his infant son off the cliff.
At this moment, young Cassandra rushed forward and tried to save her brother.
However, he unexpectedly pushed the executive officer and his brother off the cliff.
Cassandra was then sentenced to be executed on the spot for obstructing the oracle.
No matter how much his mother begged for mercy, Nico, as the king of Sparta, had to bear the weight of the crown.
He must give an explanation to the people of Sparta.
Therefore, he picked up his daughter's wrist, gritted his teeth and threw her into the abyss.
Because of the loss of two children in a row, the mother broke up with Nico and left Sparta.
In this whole incident.
Cassandra and her brother did nothing wrong.
The mother did nothing wrong.
And father Nico could only take such action to prove his loyalty to God and his commitment to defending the glory of the Spartan race.
No one is wrong.
The ones who are wrong are the gods who try to interfere in human life!
Xu Mu saw all this clearly.
He gently patted Nico's back and said, "I'll tell her for you, but before that, you need to tell me the movements of the members of the Cult of Kosmos."
"You also know that they almost killed your daughter." Xu Mu said calmly.
The one who instigated the Oracle to say those words was none other than the Cult of Order!
This group of remnant gods gathered on the land of Greece and have been operating in secret for thousands of years, trying to bring humans back under the control of the gods.
Moreover, it has now become deeply rooted and firmly embedded in the land of Greece, secretly controlling the operation of all order.
There are seven branches in total in the Cult of Order, five of which are not within the scope of this "Odyssey" and Xu Mu has no control over them.
But the remaining two branches, one controlled the Peloponnesian League and the other controlled the Delian League.
They are clearly members of the same sect, but they secretly let the humans of the two alliances kill each other.
This is what the gods that the people believe in do.
After a fierce inner struggle, Nico finally revealed the location of a member of the Cult of Order.
Xu Mu understood it clearly.
The activities of the members of the Cult of Kosmos are not fixed, so even with strategies, it is impossible to capture their elusive movements.
All details must be based on the prompts given by the copy NPC at the time.
Now, the artifact is in hand and the positions of the members are also known.
Xu Mu didn't stay any longer, said goodbye to Nico and left.
When passing by Wang Ba, he put his hand directly on his shoulder.
He whispered in a cold tone.
"Come with me."
Wang Ba had just finished talking to Mu Luo.
Just as he was about to slip away, he was grabbed by Xu Mu's big hand.
He hurriedly tried to break free, but found that Xu Mu, who had reached level 17, was far beyond his reach in strength.
After being ruthlessly dragged out of the Spartan camp by Xu Mu, Wang Ba fell to the ground with a push from Xu Mu.
"Tell me, who sent you here?" Xu Mu drew out a dagger and stared down at him condescendingly.
The reason why I suspect this guy is simple.
It is impossible for the players born on Kaia Island to level up faster than himself.
Because the top task has been completed by myself.
Normal players would probably start to leave Kaia Island one after another now.
Players with extremely good luck can only arrive a little bit earlier than the main group.
But judging from the time, this guy obviously came after I left.
And when he was interacting with Nico, he was eavesdropping intentionally or unintentionally. Xu Mu was observing these little movements with his peripheral vision.
There is definitely something wrong with this kid.
Sure enough, during Xu Mu's threat.
Wang Ba finally couldn't bear it anymore and confessed everything.
"Her again?" When Xu Mu heard Mu Luo's name, a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.
Just now on Kaia Island, Xu Mu also tried to find Muruo along the way.
After all, her lolita outfit is too eye-catching.
Unfortunately, he didn't find it, so Xu Mu could only shift his focus to development.
Unexpectedly, this guy joined the Cult of Order at the beginning and successfully became the high priest.
She wasn't on Kea Island from the beginning!
After asking a few more questions, Xu Mu was sure that Wang Ba really didn't know Mu Luo's location.
A flick of the wrist.
The dagger pierced directly into Wang Ba's heart, ending his life.
No matter what the reason, Xu Mu will not let go of anyone who has a close connection with Mu Luo.
After all, no one can guarantee that if they let him go, he will not start targeting them next.
Then, Xu Mu took out the broken spear and checked its properties.
Spear of Leonidas
Quality: Artifact
Level: LV1, cannot be upgraded through normal forging
Passive skill: God of War's Might (increases the holder's energy limit by 1 grid)
Passive skill: Divine Punishment (This weapon will be used when assassinating, and it will cause a killing streak reaction. Up to two targets can be assassinated at the same time, and the maximum number of assassinations increases with the level)
Passive skill: Leap of Faith (From now on, the holder will not be harmed no matter how high they fall)
…
Artifacts are different from normal weapons in that they do not directly increase the player's damage.
But the passive skills provided are extremely powerful.
Whether it is to increase the energy bar limit, allowing players to deal damage with multiple skill buffs stacked together.
Or improving assassination capabilities, both are qualitative changes!
The leap of faith needs no further explanation.
This is the belief of every generation of assassins!
Moreover, after upgrading the Broken Spear, more power can be unlocked.
The materials for upgrading artifacts are different from those for regular equipment. You need to kill members of the Cult of Order and obtain fragments of another artifact, the Pyramid, from them.
These cult members were originally mortals, but because they obtained the fragments of the pyramid, they were able to gain unprecedentedly powerful strength compared to ordinary people.
This shows the blessing that a magical artifact can bring to ordinary people.
"The era of gods has passed, and I will end it all with my own hands." Putting the broken spear on his back, Xu Mu's eyes became sharp.
…
Proni is a small island located in the northern part of the Aegean Sea in Greece.
Thanks to Herodotus's living map, Xu Mu no longer needs to spend a lot of time collecting maps everywhere, and he can travel freely throughout the entire Greek territory.
Xu Mu will settle Mu Luo's account sooner or later.
As long as she can follow the clues and find the stronghold of the Cult of Order, she will not be able to escape.
Let the bullet fly for a while, and think about what posture you will use to stab her later.
Oh, assassinate her.
As soon as the boat approached the island, Xu Mu felt a powerful force enveloping him.
Herodotus took out a pen and paper to record, and said uneasily: "Elpinor is a man who is very good at making money from war. He is a well-known wealthy businessman. The fact that he can buy this island is enough to prove his strong financial resources. But I didn't expect that he is also a member of the Cult of Order. It's surprising."
Xu Mu did not answer, but jumped off the boat and hurried towards a mansion in the middle of the island.
Herodotus looked at the well-equipped guards in front of him and wanted to say "Be careful"
But then he thought of the bloody and violent scene when Xu Mu just killed Athens's lackey.
He swallowed the advice back when it was about to come out of his mouth.
Xu Mu glanced at the two guards in front of the mansion.
At around level 20, 300+ attacks are already able to significantly break through one's defense.
But his blood volume is as fragile as a candle in the wind.
Only 5,000 points.
Who do you look down on?
Add another 5,000! Five thousand per person!
Taking the broken spear from his back, Xu Mu focused his mind and activated the skill [Rapid Assassination]!
At the same time, the two guards also discovered Xu Mu who broke in completely unconcealed.
He instantly pointed the spear in his hand at him.
"You low-level mercenary, this is not the place for you to come! Get out of here if you don't want to die!" the guard shouted.
Xu Mu had already swung the broken spear in his hand and threw it towards the guard at the door!
"puff!"
-
100.
The attack caused only slight damage.
The guard who was hit was stunned.
He immediately sneered.
"How can you tickle someone with such little strength?"
However, his smile quickly froze on his face.
A figure appeared behind him quietly as if teleporting.
He pulled the broken spear from the guard and grabbed him by the hair.
Pull your wrist sideways!
10137!
With multiple buffs stacked up, Xu Mu could deal tens of thousands of damage at level 17!
The other guard was even more miserable.
I didn't understand what was going on yet, and I didn't even see the boy touch me.
In an instant, the head was separated from the body, and blood gushed out from the broken neck like a fountain.
This is the powerful effect of the artifact spear, killing two birds with one stone!
snort.
I said add 5000!
Now you all owe me 5,000 blood each!
Looking at the two bodies lying on the ground, Xu Mu searched them and took out several hundred gold coins, as well as a purple wristband.
After making the substitution decisively, the defense power jumped by 30 points again, soaring to nearly 200!
Xu Mu easily broke through the guards at the gate and began to sweep the mansion frantically like Japanese invaders entering a village.
After a round of clearing, since the soldiers were all higher level than him, even without the main quest, Xu Mu's experience bar was rising rapidly.
After a while, it was covered by a golden light and upgraded to level 18!
At this time, three minutes had passed since Xu Mu stepped into the mansion.
The ground was covered with the blood of soldiers.
Elpino was the only one left without any troops.
Although as a member of the Cult of Order, he is accustomed to seeing grand scenes and blood.
But Elpino was still trembling with fear at Xu Mu's violence. He simply used his hands and feet to climb the mountain beside him. His movements were as agile as a monkey. In no time, he reached the edge of the cliff that was dozens of meters high.
This scene made Xu Mu burst out laughing.
How could a small BOSS of level 33 be scared like this by a level 18 mercenary?
Xu Mu was not in a hurry and walked slowly up the path beside him.
The cliff over there is a dead end anyway. It's easy to climb up but difficult to come down.
By the way, check out Elpinor's properties.
[Elpinor - Eye of Order]
Attack: 1000
Defense: 500
HP: 50000
Ability: Elpinor, holding a pyramid fragment, can move faster than an ordinary person.
…
The attack is very high. If he slashes himself a few times and takes into account the critical hits, he can kill himself in seconds.
And the blood volume is also very thick.
With a health bar of 50,000, all of Xu Mu’s skill buffs combined can only reduce 1/5 of his health.
If we fight with real blood, it will probably take some time.
It seems that there is no need to explain how powerful the Isu artifact is. Even a small pyramid fragment can achieve such a huge amplification.
But...
As Xu Mu approached, he observed Elpino's position.
Until he got closer and closer, he retreated step by step and stood on the edge of the cliff. He almost stepped on empty air and crushed some rubble. He steadied his body and did not fall directly.
You said you're standing here, making it difficult for me.
Aren't you trying to tempt me to kick you off?
"Don't... don't come over! You shouldn't hate me, mercenary. If you just want money, I can give it to you. I have no grudge against you in the past." Elpino's voice was filled with fear.
The main reason was that the scene in which Xu Mu slaughtered his entire mansion in just three minutes had left him with a deep psychological trauma.
Therefore, he was afraid that Xu Mu might have hidden some killer moves.
If he knew that all the burst damage from Xu Mu added up to only 10,000 at most, he would have turned the tables long ago.
But unfortunately.
The soul skill of Spartan Kick is usually useless, but it is reserved for now!
Xu Mu activated the [Bull Charge] with his mind, and he was so fast that only a shadow was left. In an instant, he rushed forward more than ten meters and approached Elpino like a ghost.
With Elpino's face full of horror.
He raised his foot and gave a powerful frontal kick!
If I don’t kick you Greek Li Ning away with this kick, I lose!
"Bang!!!"
The heavy force poured into Elpinor's abdomen.
He instantly flew backwards like a cannonball, glided in the air for a distance, and then began to fall in a curve .
“Bang!”
After a few seconds, it fell directly to the ground, creating a deep pit, and an astonishing and eye-catching damage number floated out.
-
67845!
This kick kicked out the entire summer!
