Volume 9: Vampires and Dungeons Chapter 30: Failed Actor (Part 2)
The flames are spreading.
The entire garden palace seemed to be doused with gasoline, and countless flames quickly burned around it.
The people outside seemed to have noticed something was wrong inside, and faint shouts and calls could be heard, as if they were calling out to the survivors inside. However, the people inside did not respond.
"On such a huge stage as life, I am just a funny and ridiculous pauper. In comparison, Mr. Li Lin, your own brilliance is too dazzling for me. Sometimes I wonder whether my current situation is destined by God or just a coincidence."
Seemingly completely oblivious to the spreading sea of fire and the dazzling white light around him, the young man straightened his dress and bowed respectfully to Li Lin.
In the raging fire, the young man with a calm face did not show any extreme emotions, but was unusually calm and peaceful.
The script had been destroyed, and it had been destroyed when Li Lin rushed over with the holy light. Because in the past there was no such overbearing and twisted power. The current script had been twisted into a mess, and it was completely unrecognizable compared to its original appearance.
At first, Li Lin's arrival was just part of the script. A long time ago, the ancestor had brought his good friend and hired archaeologists to help him show off his power. It was the ancestor's good friend who discovered the secret of the underground passage. They fought side by side, broke into the dark cave, fought against the twisted and alienated master of the family, and finally pushed open the forbidden door together. But only one person came out, and the other person remained in the darkness forever.
"My ritual failed, but it should also be considered a success."
Looking at Li Lin standing there with holy light all around him, the ancestor said calmly :
"In the distant past, a very good friend of mine discovered all this for me. I am very grateful to him, and this script cannot be without him. It should have been the driver friend on the carriage who did all this, and you are just an ordinary archaeologist. However, he did not regard me as a friend at all. This is really a very sad scene. If he was here, things might not have turned out like this."
"I was forced to kill the butler who knew the script, I had to kill my servants who knew the truth one by one, and I had to secretly frame my blood relatives. I had planned all this when I was born, but it is obvious that I am so powerless in the face of fate. God does not want this weird life of mine to continue to linger, and a stranger finally broke into my eternal obsession reincarnation ritual. Mr. Li Lin, I sincerely ask you to let me go."
"I know your hatred for evil, and I also know how dissatisfied you are with all the suffering caused by this cycle of reincarnation. You once killed a god just because he dragged you into the infinite fold. This is my mistake. If you can let me go, I will be sincerely grateful to you."
"Let you go?"
Li Lin was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"It's not impossible to let you go... You can just give me the reward directly."
Looking at the young man/ancestor who had already made up his mind, Li Lin was silent for a while, then slowly said:
"I know that when doing missions, you often encounter some very disgusting side quests. Since you are saying it so seriously, why don't you just give me some reward +3+4 equipment, or some wonderful knowledge props, and I will just let you go and pretend you didn't exist, right?"
“…It sounds good.”
Ah, what a terrible and noble man.
As a neurotic poet and a novelist, two sentimental consciousnesses and souls sighed at the same time.
Even when facing a newcomer, a shabby creation made by himself, he would never reveal any flaws, but still maintain such a perfect posture, worthy of being an assistant professor of the Holy Light Department who graduated from university.
This majestic power that seemed infinite, this terrifying magic that could burn the entire world to ashes, even if he had awakened his own magic now, he could still feel how small and powerless his so-called magic was under such a great and terrifying force.
If it were an ordinary person, he would be overjoyed to hear such a simple request, and then he would honestly give out a few pieces of equipment and beg the Purifier to let him live, right? But the ancestors/young people are not people who can be fooled so easily, they have enough life experience and thinking. This is obviously a trap, a disguise. Unfortunately, this disguise has a huge loophole in it, which makes it not so perfect.
Does that mean that a great purifier would lack those little equipments?
Impossible.
Just by looking at the glorious Holy Flame in his hand, one can tell what kind of achievements and results this person has.
So there is only one answer. He looks like he wants to shake hands and talk, but in fact he is ready to kill. He is worthy of being the rising star of the Holy Light Department and the Pure Life Master Li Lin.
If only I had met him earlier.
Looking at Li Lin who seemed to be full of expectation, the ancestor shook his head.
"But what I want to say is, no, I refuse. Because I know you are not that kind of vulgar person."
"No, why don't you just give me the equipment——"
"Are you mocking my intelligence?"
"…Is that so? Does that mean we can't come to an agreement?"
"It's not that you can't reach an agreement, but that you don't even have the desire to talk."
If you think I'll think you're the kind of person who would make it easy for you to kill me by accident, you're wrong.
A halo of thorns appeared behind his head, and countless rays of light gathered above his head. The bright golden light and shadow condensed into the sacredness of "virtue", and then countless tentacles spread out from under the sacred shadow and penetrated deeply into his own brain.
The surging magic power, which was almost as strong as Li Lin's, continued to emerge from the surrounding earth with the beating of the heart. Countless undead souls awakened by the end of the bloodline slowly climbed up from the palace of light and blood, irrigating some indescribable magic power into the end of this family, making his magic power become particularly huge in this ancestral home.
"I will not surrender, Lord Li Lin."
Ants also have a desire to survive.
Even if I have to die, I will fight for my rights.
Connected with the land of the ancestral home, the young man looked at Li Lin in the barrier and revealed a bitter smile.
"I will live until all the mysteries are revealed."
Looking at the ancestor with glowing light, Li Lin was silent for a while.
"...Then you die, stingy NPC."
Then he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.
