Chapter 81 Kaifeng Weird Things
The mysterious luck value still had some power. Following the guidance of inspiration, Tarona dug out an irregular fragment as big as a thumbnail from the highest peak of the barren mountain. It was dark blue in color and looked like bronze at first glance.
This is hell gold.
A kind of enchanted metal unique to Hell. It is very rare and requires the blood of a great devil to irrigate it. It is generally used to cast important props. It is also known as a treasure against holy races.
If the armor card that Tarona had merged with now was not the [Devil Knight] but the [Mechanical Angel] from the previous world, then when she picked up this piece of fragment, her fingers would have been corroded to the point of emitting green smoke.
The magic item was worth it, and the vest card still needs to be used in rotation.
Tarona pointed the fragment at the moon in the sky. Under the moonlight, the fragment still did not seem to be anything special, as if it was just an ordinary fragment.
But it is hell gold, and that alone makes it impossible to be ordinary.
Hell gold is so rare that after all these years, even a rat like her could only accumulate a palm-sized lump of it.
The Great Witch weighed the fragment in her palm again. She thought for a moment, and her five fingers trembled slightly. Almost blood-red hellfire surged out from her palm. The flames that could easily burn the soul to ashes licked the hidden hell gold fragment. The surrounding grass and trees were burned to wither and blacken by the terrifying temperature.
After a while, the fragment finally revealed its true appearance.
Brilliant gold overflowed from the inside, bit by bit swallowing up the disguised dark blue. The flickering sparks burned the hard film on the surface of the fragments, and a winding and complex pattern was slowly lit up.
This time, Theseus didn't need to search for it. Tarona recognized the illuminated pattern at a glance: "Key of the Morning Star... This is a fragment of the Key of the Morning Star."
That's terrible.
She sighed again: "...There is no good news."
The word "Morning Star" is taken from the name of Lucifer Morningstar, and the [Key of Morning Star] is the key to open the gate of Hell. After the end of a war between gods, the Lord of Hell ordered the demons under his command to mine a large amount of Hell Gold, which took a hundred years to cast.
He threw the forged [Key of the Morning Star] into the human world. No conditions were required. Anyone who picked it up could open the gate of hell, release the countless demons inside, and experience the joy of being the Lord of Hell.
Of course, not everyone can be the Lord of Hell. After the brief illusion of "I am the king of the world" disappears, he does not have the power strong enough to crush the demons and can truly suppress them. His end will only be to be torn to pieces by the demons who have awakened from the confusion and obedience buff.
There is no need to elaborate on what the demons that come to the human world will do. If you want to send them back to hell, there is only one way, and that is to use the [Morning Star Key] to open the gate of hell again. As long as the gate of hell is opened again, whether these demons are willing or not, they must return to hell immediately, otherwise they will disappear forever.
However, would Lucifer be so kind?
If the levels weren't difficult, how could he be happy after losing the battle?
The [Key of Morning Star] will disappear after the Gate of Hell is opened for the first time. It will randomly drop anywhere, a place that cannot be imagined with normal or abnormal thinking.
Ask Lucifer himself?
Sorry, he doesn’t know either. The main point is excitement.
Anyway, it wasn't him who opened the door. He just lost the key accidentally. He is the victim.
I was so angry that I almost got high blood pressure.
Afterwards, countless heroes emerged in that world. While hunting demons to protect humans, they were searching for the missing [Key of the Morning Star].
God helps those who work hard. After four years of the devil wreaking havoc on the world, they finally found the dusty "Morning Star Key" in an abandoned nuclear power plant where a leak had occurred. The crisis was finally put to an end.
This is the origin and story of the first [Morning Star Key].
The "Morning Star Keys" that appeared in other worlds after that were derived from the concept of origin, and their power was weaker than the original origin. They could still open the gates of hell, but conditions were required, such as sacrificing life or meeting other requirements.
In the process of self-evolution, they also developed other abilities, some of which are very consistent with hell.
Generally speaking, they can give rise to evil spirits.
It's not the kind of baby ghost that can be killed by a peach wood sword, but a bloodthirsty and murderous powerful evil spirit that is completely blinded by hatred and can easily massacre an entire city.
How to say it?
This time, the world of martial arts has also entered the horror channel.
Tarona wrapped the fragment in hellfire to isolate it from its external catalytic power, and stuffed it into the magic music box that made its second appearance.
The ballet cat lying on the music box had its fur standing on end, and its big eyes were more than doubled in size. If it had not been unable to get away from the music box, it would have definitely run away far away by now.
Hellfire!
Help! It's hellfire!
Hell Gold is used to target holy races, while Hell Fire does not distinguish between enemies and friends and can burn everyone, with the main purpose of fairness and justice.
Tarona tapped the cat's head, and waited until it calmed down before putting the magic music box back into the space.
Thinking of the ghosts that were purified in the Holy Lamp, especially the female corpse that was most contaminated by the catalytic power, she wanted to sigh again.
If she had come ten days or half a month later, the female corpse would have turned into an evil spirit. Is there such a powerful Taoist priest in this world?
[Take it easy, Miss Ta, there is still good news. ]
Theseus comforted her: [How can this not be considered a good start? ]
Tarona said with a headache:...
A good start?
This is a door-opening kill.
The [Morning Star Key] was already a problem, and now it has broken into more than one or two pieces. Judging from the size of this fragment, it is estimated that it will break into more than ten pieces, and it may even break into smaller pieces.
Each piece is an energy transmitter that can last 24 hours a day. It can be effective wherever it is dropped, and there will be a few dead people there.
If someone picks it up and uses it again...
Good, Tarona felt his head starting to hurt.
This time the mission is really advanced. If you collect all the fragments, you can summon a dragon?
Ha, it’s the gate to hell!
She could only comfort herself that fortunately the [Key of Morning Star] was an anomaly without self-awareness, so she didn't have to worry about the anomaly itself causing trouble.
Fine, just collect the fragments. She already has one piece in her hand anyway. Even if someone really gets the fragment by accident and finds out its original purpose, that person won't be able to piece together the complete [Key of the Morning Star].
Tarona took a deep breath, raised his hand to rub his face, and let out a long breath: "Theseus, open a new record."
Theseus: [A new file has been created and is being recorded.]
…
He said he was going to find the scraps of stamps to collect, but there was another thing in front of him - Tarona promised the ghosts that he would put those damned human traffickers into hell.
This matter was more urgent because she accepted it as Gabriel.
In the background setting of the vest card, Jia Jia Baide is not only a demon knight, but also the ruler of hell. She killed the previous lord of hell who deceived her, and the crown of hell fell on the head of the new winner.
Therefore, her words were tinged with regularity. Once she had promised, she had to do it.
Tarona read this point twice and remembered it well. He was not to talk about it casually anymore and had to take it seriously.
Since they had to burn the traffickers' lair first, they must first settle these abducted women and children. The big witch acted as a hidden knight and investigated an official nearby.
The [Eye of Judgment] of the [Devil Knight] is very useful. This judge did not give her the urge to burn him, which meant he was a good official and she could hand the people over to him without any worries.
So early the next morning, a group of poor people who had been kidnapped by thieves came to the gate of the Tongpan's mansion.
He immediately ordered people to welcome these poor women and children into the palace, arranged meals for them, called a doctor, and sent someone to lead a team to the place they mentioned to bring back the more than 20 corpses that had died with their eyes open.
Sure enough, several of them were wanted criminals.
When he asked who saved them, the leading woman said with sincerity and respect: "It was the immortals in heaven!"
The judge was stunned and asked again: "Who saved you?"
No matter who you ask, even the youngest child, the answer is the same.
The person who saved them was a sage named Kagābhūta.
The Tongpan was a man who had hunted extensively. In the past six months, the yamen had received many reports of ghost stories, and he had read a lot of stories about gods and ghosts, but he had never seen or heard of any immortal with this name.
He wanted to ask again, maybe it was some chivalrous woman who saved them, and he was just joking.
But he suddenly recalled the twenty-odd corpses that died with their eyes open, each with round eyes and blood gushing from all seven orifices. The coroner who performed the autopsies even said that they all died of heart palpitations. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Although the sage said that one should not talk about strange things, supernatural powers, or gods, but...it is better to believe in their existence than to believe in their non-existence.
The judge never expected that in the near future, it would be this immortal whom he still suspected who would save the people of his city.
At this time, the "immortal" was on his way to the lair of the human traffickers.
Tarona captured the leader's soul and gave him some strength so that he could fly faster, and then ordered him to lead the way.
Flying is much faster than running. The journey that would have taken about half a month originally took only half a day and a night with the help of the Great Witch's magic enhancements, and the village hidden in the mountain mist was right at their feet.
It was already dusk and the sounds of chickens and dogs barking could be heard from the village. Strong men were patrolling around the village with sticks in their hands. Women who had cooked at home were standing in front of the door, shouting for their husbands to come back for dinner. Naughty children were sneaking into the kitchen to steal food.
At first glance, it's a scene of comfort and warmth.
Who would have thought that this entire village was filled with human traffickers?
Tarona, who was sitting cross-legged on the cloud, sneered, and the soul hanging behind him was immediately engulfed by the blood-red flames, without even time to utter a scream.
She looked down at the blood-stained village below, tapping her fingers regularly on her thigh.
Don't worry, they will all go to hell.
After planning where these people would go in her mind, the Great Witch glanced sideways at a corner of the forest surrounding the village. There was a person hiding there, with a sparkling soul that was hard to ignore.
She zoomed in, ignoring the layers of green leaves, and sent her partner the image of the man squatting on the tree, breathing so hard that it was hardly noticeable to ordinary people, staring at the village without blinking.
She asked with interest: "Who is this?"
The soul is sparkling, he is a good person, and must be very famous.
Theseus didn't even need to search: [This is the son of destiny in this world, the Southern Hero Zhan Zhao. ]
Although this world is called the Seven Heroes and Five Gallants, Heaven likes Zhan Zhao very much, so his luck is the strongest.
The beauty with long hair that looked like flowing clear sky smiled and said: "Ah, I like him too!"
It’s a sparkling soul!
