Chapter 912 I've Come to Find My Apprentice
Yu Xunge gave her answer in less than half a minute: "I want to gamble with the devil!"
Although the demonic wager can only restrict Zelan for 2 years, they can first unseal a time-limited skill for her, which is itself part of the "payment".
Two years... If she can truly win first place in the God's Game three times in a row and upgrade her divinely bestowed talent, then give her another two years, and she will surely be able to make Zelan dare not invade again.
Conversely... the loss from losing a bet against the devil is less than the loss from losing a bet against the gods.
She said, "I want to unlock the [Waste Guide]."
The moment the bet was set, a crimson light screen appeared behind the leaders of Zelan, and chains extended out, dragging them all back to Zelan.
The game of the gods will give them an explanation.
At this moment, all Zelan aliens above level 40 on the battlefield were dragged away by chains that emerged from the void.
As the alien army dwindled, screams and shouts of survivors echoed across the battlefield. Yu Xunge briefly informed Zhao Shuying of the current situation, and the order was quickly relayed.
The Zelan army will not increase in size, but enemies below level 40 will not disappear; the battle continues!
The dejection, seriousness, and tragic spirit on all the players' faces vanished. The monsters opposite them were still the same monsters, but their mindset was different...
Each of them looked radiant.
Before, it was a war to protect those carrying wine and save their lives, but now, it's time to level up.
They used to be comrades, but now everyone looks like someone trying to steal my monsters.
"Let's team up!! We need a healer."
"Heroic Spirit! I am the Heroic Spirit who carries wine, recruit me first!"
"Salute! (°ゝ°)! I'll definitely do it next time!"
"I shed blood for the sake of carrying wine..."
"Looking for a top-tier DPS player to team up with!"
The war is temporarily over, and the brilliance of humanity can be temporarily shut off.
Zhao Shuying and B8017913 appeared beside Yu Xunge one after the other. They knew she was not in a good state and had come to pick her up.
Tu Lan didn't rush to revert to her dragon form. As a weapon, she would receive certain bonuses when Yu Xunge held her in his hand. The ice flames she generated had a certain analgesic effect and helped maintain sanity.
No matter how difficult it was, the most dangerous moment has passed.
B8017913 said, "Once you recover, you have to get my contract back... I'm not kidding, I really want to get angry."
That's what it said, but its voice unconsciously became several octaves softer.
It flew to Yu Xunge's side and let her lean against its mecha.
Just as Zhao Shuying was about to speak up about Zaijiu's judgment, a curtain of water suddenly appeared opposite Yu Xunge.
Yu Xunge, who looked like he was about to faint, quickly got into a fighting stance and slightly turned his head to listen to the movements from the water curtain.
This is what I saw every day when I stepped out of the water curtain.
The apprentice, now grown up, had half her body turned gray. She gripped a dagger tightly in her left hand—a grip she herself had personally taught her—and stared at her with her eyes closed and body tense: "Who!"
Surrounded by icy flames, her hair was dyed ice blue by ice magic, and her fiery wings almost blended into the sunset behind her.
Her hand holding the dagger trembled involuntarily, a most basic mistake for an assassin, but the source of this mistake was not fear; her apprentice was already at her last gasp.
She had probably gone through an extremely long and intense battle. The curses and negative effects on her body could completely block the person standing next to her, and her maximum health was reduced by 70%. The platinum battle robe suited her very well; she was actually very suitable for this bright color.
Each day took a step forward, completely leaving the water curtain.
This earned him a warning from the apprentice: "State your purpose."
Perhaps sensing that she meant no harm, or perhaps because she was no longer able to start a fight, she only questioned her without making a move.
Zhu Ri took another step forward, his black wolf-skin boots leaving a ripple in the air, and the cloak behind him was twisted into a rope by the wind and made a muffled sound.
The apprentice's ears twitched noticeably.
She remembered her apprentices always talking about her cloak, wondering why she always wore such a narrow cloak that didn't even cover her shoulders, and how it made noise on windy days, and whether she wasn't afraid of being discovered by the enemy.
She was always too lazy to explain to her that this was called an assassin's aura, and that once her enemies knew it was her, they would pretend not to notice even if they realized it was her.
The apprentice constantly adjusted her fighting stance in response to her movements, like a cat reacting to stress.
No... that's not fair. At least her apprentices showed no fear whatsoever, only doubt, vigilance, and a murderous intent and fighting spirit.
Her friend and the mecha blocked her way, but she shoved them aside, complaining with a speechless expression, "Stop being so awkward, just tell me who she is, is she a polar bear or an orchid mantis? A death eater? A lady with wavy hair?"
I know so many random guys.
Zhu Ri couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"—It is an elf, a spirit."
"—An elf? The Blood Elf Queen? Didn't I already drive her back?!"
"Well, she's not quite the same as the elves of Zelan, but I can't quite put my finger on how."
The apprentice's dagger began to speak: "I'll go! This elf is exceptionally tall, with long, greyish-white hair—the cool color Liang Yuchuan has always wanted to dye—greyish-blue eyes, wearing leather armor, and carrying a longsword. Do you recognize her? I saw her smile at you; it was a rather frightening smile."
Then every day she heard her apprentice say weakly, "I don't know any elves! I deal more with oak owls and moon foxes."
day by day:"……"
In the blink of an eye, the elf appeared in front of the apprentice. They were less than half a meter apart, and the elf's shadow could almost envelop the apprentice.
Her voice was cold and slow, like a dagger being slowly drawn from its sheath. She said, "I've come to find my apprentice."
The next second, Yu Xunge seemed completely at ease. Her expression relaxed, and she fell backward, her hand holding the dagger naturally loosening, letting the dagger fall downward.
The mecha knelt down on one knee in mid-air and caught her.
After a few seconds of silence, she looked up at the sunset behind her apprentice, took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully, accompanied by a soft laugh as she reached her limit.
Zhao Shuying glanced at her watch with a serious expression, then smiled at the elf in front of her: "I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Since you are the teacher of Zaijiu Judgment, Zaijiu welcomes you."
Although they didn't know who the elf in front of them was, the other party clearly had no hostility. As for Yu Xunge... well, maybe he was too tired, because his act of fainting was a bit too clumsy.
B8017913, holding Yu Xunge, said, "..." To be honest, it also wanted to leave.
The powerful being before them clearly had an unusual relationship with Zaijiu Xunge, since even Zaijiu Xunge had to resort to such a lame trick as feigning unconsciousness... This creature's temper was probably quite difficult to deal with.
Tulan wasn't afraid of the elf; she could sense the elf's emotions—worry, anxiety, longing, and of course, anger.
She seemed to have come specifically to get wine and find Yu Xunge, while Tu Lan was very interested in everyone Yu Xunge knew. She had never seen this elf before; was it someone she and B8 had met in the game of gods that they couldn't get into?
She circled the elf a few times, her eyes wide with curiosity as she examined the elf before her: "You've come to find your apprentice? Is your apprentice Xun Ge?"
Zhu Ri felt a surge of anger just hearing the name, but when her gaze fell on the apprentice, remembering the scene she had witnessed upon arrival, she suppressed her temper and calmly said, "Hmm."
Sensing the elf's helplessness and relief, as well as Yu Xunge's tension and emotion behind her, a mischievous glint flashed in Tu Lan's eyes. She asked in a puzzled tone, "Which teacher are you to her? Are you someone she recently took in? I've never seen you before."
B8017913: ...It's over.
Yu Xunge: ...I'm going to die!!!
