Chapter 248: White Orchid Rain Festival (Thirty)
The president of the Corpse Drivers Guild and the president of the Gamblers Guild had never seen such a scene before. At first, they thought that the eldest lady and the president had been provoked and behaved so outrageously.
But when they watched helplessly as the blue flame, which should have had the upper hand and could not be stopped by anything, was driven away at a strange speed and even became smaller and smaller, they finally understood.
The blue flame is afraid of the young lady's blood.
They were just about to step forward to help, whether it was to collect the eldest lady's blood, or to find a way to clean it up and make way for the blue flame, but all these actions became difficult because of the appearance of President Workers and President Alice.
Most of the corpse skills of the Corpse Chaser's president had been taken away by Yizhihua, and the remaining ones were either not very offensive or had very weak defenses. They were not comparable to the abilities of the other two presidents. What's more, President Alice simply used the Rabbit Hole skill to make them jump back and forth between two spaces not far away. They watched helplessly as the blue flame became more and more dangerous, and finally turned into a blue light and disappeared from the inside of the pawn shop.
The originally turbulent pawnshop finally became quiet under the protection of the red light. The collapsed antique display cabinet was erected again, and the pawn tickets on it were still densely packed.
【bite--
Because the owner of the pawn shop chose to offer his own blood at the critical moment, the pawn ticket contaminated by the evil god's mark has returned to its original appearance and reached a new pawn ticket agreement with the real owner.
Congratulations to Camp 1, the pawnshop owner's camp for winning. 】
The system's prompt finally sounded after much anticipation, but no one expected that there would be light at the last moment.
However, these words were like a bolt from the blue to the ears of the Gambler's Guild President and the Corpse Driver's Guild President.
What pawnshop owner?
It is obviously the eldest daughter who is providing the food with her own blood?
The Gambler's Guild President thought of a possibility in a flash, a possibility that could explain why a guild camp would join the pawnshop owner's camp without any consideration, and a possibility why the system would issue such a notification.
Although the president of the Corpse Drivers was also very surprised, he was only briefly a little regretful. After all, he had already obtained the correct name of the trading partner from Yizhihua, so it would not affect him even if he could not get the hint for this task.
But the Gambler's Guild President was surprised and suddenly remembered a more important issue. Now the eldest lady has become the new owner of the pawn shop, and he still owes a promise to Yizhihua.
This was even more difficult for the Gambler's Guild President to accept than the failure of the mission. He finally realized that the system had actually given a hint in the previous mission description, but he had not paid attention.
As for the guild alliance, no one was happy when they heard the notification tone of the successful mission. After all, it was obtained by the eldest lady with her life.
The person had already been held in the arms of the president, but Nan Huan had lost too much blood in a short period of time. Even after taking so many medicines, he could not wake up immediately.
His pale face looked even more shocking under the red light of the pawn shop.
Fortunately, this state did not last too long. After about five minutes, Nan Huan opened his glasses.
【bite--
Congratulations to Camp 1, the pawn shop owner camp won.
Mission Rewards:
1. Dragon Horn Incense*1. This reward is only given to outstanding contributors in this special side quest. Please pay attention to it.
2. Tips about withered dragon scale paper: The seller who owns withered dragon scale paper is not a dragon. 】
Nan Huan had just opened her eyes and almost laughed when she heard this reminder.
Nan Huan: You are too shameless. I fought so hard, but this hint is a bit too perfunctory.
Judging from the literal prompts given by the system, the dragon Yizhihua was ruled out, but in fact, he had become the owner of the pawnshop. If Yizhihua had dragon scale paper, he would definitely have inherited it.
The system seemed to have helped them eliminate a wrong option, but in fact, it did not tell them any useful clues, and Nan Huan was sure that the owner of the third shop must also be a human.
After hearing Nan Huan's accusations, the system completely gave up.
System: During this special mission, you have caused the entire pawn shop to lose system control, which means a huge fortune for the system and the entire game.
Nanhuan: ...
As if to appease Nan Huan, the system did not give the other party a chance to continue speaking, and instead issued the task reward called Dragon Horn Incense.
[Dragon Horn Incense*1: Apply Dragon Horn Incense on your forehead to make the dragons regard you as their partner.
Tip: This dragon horn incense can be used by two people, each time for thirty minutes. Or it can be used by one person, each time for one hour. 】
"How are you? Are you okay?"
Bei Xi didn't care about the reward or any clues. Instead, he lifted Nan Huan up from his arms and checked the wound on her arm. When he saw that the wound was no longer visible and Nan Huan's skin was as intact as before, the worry in his eyes faded a little.
"I'm really fine now. Let me show you my health points. They have been fully restored."
I don’t know if it’s because she swallowed a large amount of black air when she helped Yizhihua at the pawn shop before, which caused Nan Huan’s health to increase significantly, making her recovery time shorter than before.
Seeing her full of energy, both Bei Xi and the president of the Workers' Association and President Alice finally felt relieved.
"Thank you, Miss..."
A very weak voice was heard during the greetings. Nan Huan took a while to distinguish it before he realized it was the flower on the back of his neck.
Before she could be happy, Bei Xi lifted her collar and looked puzzled. "Something is wrong with her. The whole dragon's body seems to be fading a little bit..."
Bei Xi originally thought that the crisis in the pawn shop had passed, and Yizhihua should be able to recover or come out of Nanhuan's skin, but now, the other party's originally green body color is gradually fading, and the whole dragon looks very weak.
"What's wrong with you? Hasn't the pawn ticket been restored?"
Nan Huan was puzzled and turned back to look at Yizhihua's pawn ticket. "What happened? Why hasn't Yizhihua's pawn ticket been restored..."
The large pawn ticket in the center of the pawn shop did not return to its original appearance like the pawn tickets on the antique shelf under the nourishment of the red light. Instead, only a black, burnt frame remained.
"Don't worry about me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to live in your body for so long. I also saw the Saint and the Dragon Lord. I made a big mistake back then. If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid the situation would have been even worse... cough cough..."
She suddenly became very weak, and it was difficult for her to say just these few words. Bei Xi saw that her color was becoming lighter and lighter, and the dragon horns were looming.
"According to the agreement in the pawn ticket, I cannot leave the pawn shop and must remain a follower of the evil god forever. Fortunately, I have you. I am very lucky to end this with death."
She used her only remaining dragon horn to rub the back of the young lady's neck, "Now I understand why I entered your skin, because I smelled a familiar scent from your body..."
It seemed that because the deadline had come, the words she spoke were a little confusing, and her voice became smaller and smaller. Nan Huan originally had a lot of questions to ask her, but at the moment, those questions didn't seem to be very important.
Nan Huan could feel the breathing of a flower, which was becoming weaker and weaker until it was almost inaudible.
【bite--
The trust level of the potential target Yizhihua has been detected to be 80. Do you want to use the skill "I am the eldest lady"? 】
Just when the color of Yizhihua's body was about to turn transparent, Nan Huan heard the prompt sound of the system in his mind.
[Note: This time you use the skill without consuming points. After completing the faith ceremony, Yizhihua will automatically become the eldest lady's 'die-hard believer'.]
System: Would you like to use...
Nanhuan: Use.
After all, he was already familiar with this process when he rescued A Liu last time. Nan Huan gave the answer without even waiting for the system to finish asking the question.
[Congratulations to the player for unlocking the eldest lady's 'die-hard believer'
'Devoted believer'*1
Type: Dragon
Current level: Monster
Skills: Unknown, (complex and numerous, including but not limited to those exchanged from others)
Tips: After the faith ceremony is completed, the more the believers give, the greater the protection they will receive. If the young lady does not protect or harms the believers, she will be retaliated. If the believers choose to betray, they will also be retaliated. 】
As if the system sensed Nan Huan's urgency, it stopped talking and the information about Yizhihua immediately appeared on the control panel.
System: Do players need to perform the faith ceremony now? (Hint: In order to protect the player's personal skills, the system will not show the ceremony to other players.)
Nanhuan: Yes.
Same tip as last time, Nanhuan is not unfamiliar.
"The flower is saved. Wait for me."
She only had time to say a few words to Bei Xi, and the next second, she felt as if the system had raised a barrier in front of all the players, separating her from the other players.
Although she was still in Bei Xi's arms, she felt like she had come to a fourth space.
And a flower had emerged from her skin at some point, and was swimming around her in the shape of a dragon. It seemed that this strange space made her feel a little uneasy.
Nan Huan touched her head and said, "Don't be afraid. This ritual can save you, but you will have to stay by my side from now on."
The flower in dragon form seemed unable to speak human language. After hearing what Nan Huan said, it happily rubbed Nan Huan's forehead with its big head, expressing its willingness.
The pink vines on Nan Huan's right arm had appeared at some point, flashing with tiny rays of light.
The light was like a firefly, traveling around his body and finally gathering on Nan Huan's fingertips.
There was a slight stinging pain, and a drop of blood wrapped in light appeared on Nan Huan's finger, and then sank into the center of the eyebrows of the flower dragon-shaped figure.
Yizhihua could feel that her body, which was originally very weak and about to disappear, seemed to be still in an instant. As Nanhuan's blood sank into her body, she felt as if she was soaked in a warm current. The disappearing power slowly gathered and then returned to her body all at once.
Because of Nan Huan's behavior, she could even feel some kind of connection between the two of them, and the marks left on her body by the pawnshop and the evil god all disappeared without a trace at this moment.
The ceremony ended, the light and pattern on Nan Huan’s arm disappeared in an instant, and the shield was removed.
The flower that was about to disappear was now floating in the air, dragging its long tail. It dived down several times with great joy, as if it couldn't believe that everything before its eyes was real.
"Okay, go and have a rest first. I still have some accounts to settle."
A smile finally appeared on Nan Huan's face. After all, she was seriously injured. She waved to Yizhihua, and the other party obediently entered the control panel.
At the same time, a green dragon appeared on the control panel.
Not to mention that this was the first time that the Workers' Union President had witnessed such a situation. Even President Alice had seen it once before in Fengmenling, and she still couldn't help being shocked at this moment.
Although they couldn't see what method the eldest lady used, the fact was that the flower that was almost dying suddenly returned to normal under the eldest lady's ability, and was even able to be affected by the other party.
"Is this the skill of the young lady?"
The president of the Workers' Association looked like he had finally seen the world and was very curious, "How did you do it specifically?"
She said this not because she really wanted to explore the eldest lady's abilities, but out of pure curiosity.
President Alice spread her hands and said, "Who knows? Anyway, we can't do it."
Bei Xi was already very familiar with Nan Huan's ability to display this kind of ability. What made her a little unhappy was that in addition to their people, there were also the president of the Gamblers' Guild and the president of the Corpse Drivers' Guild present.
The situation was urgent just now, and Nan Huan started using his skills before they even had time to react.
Although the system was blocked, the president of the Corpse Drivers Guild and the president of the Gamblers Guild both saw the lively Yizhihua. This former pawnshop owner obeyed the eldest lady's orders and even entered her control panel.
To some extent, Beixi does not want more people, that is, players who are not on their side, to know that Nanhuan also has strength in this area.
But now the Gambler's Guild President still has something on him that he hasn't taken back, so this move seems more like a silent threat.
"Did you...did you see it?"
Compared with President Alice and the Worker President, the Corpse Chaser President was already frightened by the scene before him, "How did she do that?"
Yizhihua is an NPC in the dungeon, not an ordinary NPC. Not only did the young lady use the wishing function to take away the pawn shop, but now she has even conquered the former owner of the pawn shop.
Do the opponent's personal skills have such an effect? If so, can it be developed to the extent that it can drive NPCs to drive players?
Not dead players that he drove like this, but living players who could fight for her.
The thought of this even made the corpse driver's guild leader break into a cold sweat.
But his question did not receive any answer at all, because the Gambler's Guild President was no longer able to think rationally.
The previous second, when he saw the mark of the evil god, he thought that there might be a way to break through his agreement, but the next second, the mark of the evil god escaped and disappeared, and the eldest lady became the new owner of the pawnshop. It was unknown what skills she used, but she turned the previous owner of the pawnshop into a being that she could control.
If she were to fulfill the promise she made at that time now, would she also become like a flower?
Because of the existence of the totem fragments of faith, the premonition that other players would help him no longer existed because the eldest lady became the owner of the pawn shop.
Nan Huan did not forget the pawn ticket agreement between Yizhihua and the president of the Gamblers' Guild. Of course, after he became the new owner of the pawnshop, he naturally inherited this agreement.
She had originally planned to come back to the Gambler's Guild President to get her things back after the special mission was over, and to teach him a lesson that things that did not belong to him should always be returned.
But because of this mission, it seemed that this lesson was a bit too profound, and even inadvertently created a kind of silent coercion.
"I thought that after learning this news, you would at least try hard to leave this pawn shop temporarily?"
Nan Huan brought Bei Xi to the Gambler's Guild President and asked, "Or have you thought of a solution?"
The Gambler's Guild President was calmer than she had imagined. He just stood there without moving. Although his face looked bad, he never made any other attempts.
"No," he said in a somewhat dejected tone, his voice dry as if it was squeezed out from his throat. The head of the corpse driver next to him had noticed something was wrong and had already disappeared. "I just didn't expect this result."
This was the first time they had spoken face to face. The Gambler's Guild President seemed unwilling to accept the situation. After saying this, he raised his head indignantly and said, "If I had thought of making a wish to become the owner of a pawn shop, this wouldn't be the situation I'm in now. You're just lucky."
Like all those who are bluffing and at the end of their rope, the Gambler President is not willing to admit his failure at all. He just makes excuses for himself, as if it is very difficult to admit the excellence of others.
President Alice stood nearby and rolled her eyes, thinking that the Gambler President had not yet come to his senses. "Forget about it. You don't have the fragments of the Faith Totem, so you can't make such a wish. You also don't have anything to exchange with a flower."
President Alice suddenly felt a little bored when she said this. "In the final analysis, it's just your greed. You want to get the fragments of the Faith Totem without any effort. How can it be so good?"
The Gambler's Guild President was choked by her and wanted to refute, but didn't know where to start. Finally, he looked at the eldest lady and seemed to have made some kind of decision.
"What if I don't want to? I would rather fulfill the agreement and stay in the pawnshop for the rest of my life than return the Faith Totem Fragment to you. Without this Faith Totem Fragment, no matter what you want to do in the future, you can't..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Nan Huan, "Are you sure?"
Nan Huan raised her head and glanced at him, seeming to feel that she was a little too complimented by the Gambler's Guild President just now. Then she stopped looking at him and reached out to click on the control panel.
All the antique display cases that were originally standing in the pawn shop instantly appeared in the young lady's control panel.
The pawn shop is no longer a quest point in the dungeon, but has become a tool in the Miss's control panel.
