"If the God of Killing wants to kill me so much, if he is really the cloaked man who massacred the City of Love, he could have directly dragged me into the City of Love and killed me. Why would he have to make so much trouble?" Li Xiu felt that something was wrong.
Li Xiu felt that the tablet of the God of Death should be just a portal that could pull him into the City of Black Death and also pull him into the City of Love.
It’s just that the God of Death Tablet had only pulled him into the City of Black Death before, but never pulled him into the City of Love.
This time, pulling him into the City of Love was probably not the original intention of the Killing God Tablet, but an unconscious behavior after being drunk.
Li Xiu felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of the people in the City of Love.
Although they were all from the Demon Country and could not be considered human beings on Earth, they still felt depressed and uncomfortable when they saw so many kind people being slaughtered and could do nothing about it.
"We must raise the level as soon as possible." Li Xiu looked at the tablet of the God of Death who was still sleeping, and for a moment he could not figure out what the relationship between it and the cloaked man was.
There are four words "Position of the God of Killing" on the tablet, and there are also these four words on the tombstone of the cloaked man. If you say it doesn't matter, Li Xiu will not believe it even if you kill him.
After taking a cold shower, Li Xiu still felt very uncomfortable. He didn't like the feeling of being powerless.
Thinking of Xiao Bu'er's appearance and eyes after his death, Li Xiu's heart still trembled uncontrollably.
"After my level is raised, I must go to the City of Love again. I hope that the cloaked man will still be there." Li Xiu looked a little gloomy. He made a phone call and called Jani over.
"Lord City Lord, I have already found the people you want. They are all my trusted aides who I recruited into the Royal Guard. They have clean backgrounds and their families are all in our City of Light. Miss Shachu has personally confirmed them. You can use them with confidence. I guarantee that they will not talk nonsense." Jani came to Li Xiu's office and said in a low voice.
"What level of trial-takers are they?" Li Xiu asked.
"There are six E-level and four D-level. If you have any requirements for the level, I have backup candidates and several C-level trial-takers available." Jani said quickly.
"Let's just take them to the Trial Gate at noon." Li Xiu waved his hand, motioning Jani to go out. He was in no mood to talk to Jani now.
Jani also noticed that Li Xiu was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to say much and quickly retreated.
After Jani left, Li Xiu went to the yard to relax. After a while, he saw Chu Jun coming over, followed by Chu Qi.
"What happened?" Chu Jun looked Li Xiu up and down and asked with some confusion.
He rarely saw Li Xiu looking so lazy and listless, and knew something must have happened.
"I will go back to Changshengtian the day after tomorrow. How are you doing over there? Can we go together?" Li Xiu originally wanted to stay for a few more days, but after what happened in the City of Love, he felt that his promotion speed was still too slow and he had to speed up.
The resources in the City of Light are too scarce, and only the immortal genius can provide enough resources for him to grow quickly.
"I came here to tell you this. The old man agreed to let me go to Changshengtian, and Seventh Brother also wants to go with me." Chu Jun said excitedly.
"Since Chuqi is going too, let me help him light the lamp first." Li Xiu said.
"No need." Unexpectedly, Chuqi shook his head and refused Li Xiu.
Chu Jun explained: "I talked to Brother Qi about the Light Planting Method, but Brother Qi said he wanted to take the path of Shattering the Contract to Become a Foundation."
“That’s fine. There’s no difference between the two paths. It’s just that the Light Planting Method can help you get familiar with the light veins in advance. Seventh Brother is already S-level, and he’s not far from Condensing Light. It won’t take long before he can Shatter the Covenant and Condensate the Light Veins. It’s the same.” Li Xiu nodded.
Seeing that Li Xiu had no extra thoughts, Chu Jun breathed a sigh of relief: "I will go and prepare what I need to prepare after entering the Changsheng Heavenly Queen."
"Money, the more the better. As long as you have money, you can have all kinds of resources in Changshengtian." Li Xiu said.
"Haha, that's easy. I may not have anything else you want, but money is definitely not a problem. Grandpa said that he would fully support my practice." Chu Jun said happily, "Since the Demon Spirit Competition, the attitude of Baiye City towards trialists has also changed to a certain extent. In addition, with the emergence of the Light Planting Method, Grandpa and his men also feel that it is necessary to train their own trialists. After we have achieved some success, I will lead the trialists of Baiye. By the way, what currency does Changshengtian use?"
"Don't worry about the Longevity Coin. Both the White Night Coin and the Space Coin can be exchanged for the Longevity Coin. The exchange rate between the Space Coin and the Longevity Coin is about two to one." Li Xiu briefly described the situation in Changshengtian.
"That's good. I was afraid that people in Changshengtian wouldn't recognize money from outside. Now that I know our money can be used in Changshengtian, I feel relieved." Chu Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
"You think too much. No matter where, as long as there are human groups, money is an indispensable thing. Even if the name of money is gone, it will definitely exist in another symbol." Li Xiu looked at the time and said to Chu Jun: "I will go to the Black Death City later, you go and get ready first."
After Li Xiu left, Chu Jun said to Chu Qi who was standing beside him, "Brother Qi, can you give your magic suit to Li Xiu?"
Chu Qi shook his head and said, "No, he is not qualified yet."
"If he is not qualified, then probably no one in the world is qualified to use that magic suit. He is the best magic suit master in the world. Maybe even God is not as good as him." Chu Jun said.
"Even if God comes, it won't work. The master said that this magic suit can only be used by one person." Chuqi insisted.
"Who is it going to be used for?" Chu Jun said depressedly, "I don't know what the old man means. He made such a magic suit for you to carry, and our Chu family's own magic suit master won't let it be used. What is he thinking?"
"I don't know." Chuqi shook his head.
"If you don't know who it's for, then why are you carrying it with you?" Chu Jun felt that Chuqi was fooling him, but he knew Chuqi, and he knew that this man would never lie.
"The master only said that if this magic suit touches someone who can use it, it will naturally react, but Li Xiu can't." Chu Qi's words completely cut off Chu Jun's thoughts.
"It's just a set of magic armor. It can't possibly choose its owner by itself. What you said is too far-fetched." Chu Jun didn't quite believe what Chu Qi said.
"If the master says it can, then it must be able to do it. The master said this is the most powerful magic suit in the world and only the strongest magic suit master can use it. As long as it encounters the strongest magic suit master, it will definitely react." Chu Qi said stubbornly.
"Okay." Chu Jun was also helpless, knowing that no matter what he said, it would be useless. Chu Qi regarded the old man's words as an imperial decree, and no one could change it.
Li Xiu came to the laboratory and gave the shell of the white-shelled turtle brought back from the City of Love to Simon Ke.
"Hey, is this a light-based magic material?" Ximen Guan became interested immediately after seeing the tortoise shell, and came to a conclusion after a simple test.
"Not bad." Li Xiu nodded.
"Where did it come from?" Ximen Guan asked in surprise.
“Don’t worry about where it comes from, just keep it if you can use it.” Li Xiu said.
"Where is the magic core?" Ximen Guan stretched out his hand.
"I have a use for the magic core." Li Xiu had no intention of giving the magic core to Ximen Guan. These light-based magic cores could be used directly on the Lightspeed No. 3 and the Lightspeed Gun.
With a light-based energy source, Li Xiu can control the magic suit to fight against light-based demons and trial-takers.
"You're not planning to use those light-based magic cores on Lightspeed 3, are you?" Ximen Guan immediately saw through Li Xiu's thoughts.
"With this plan, there should be no problem, right? Didn't you tell me before that Lightspeed 3 is not so easy to break down?" Li Xiu looked at Ximen Guan and asked.
"Of course there is no problem, feel free to use it." Ximen Guan said stiffly, he himself was unsure.
After all, there has been no testing using light-based energy sources, so Ximen Guan is not sure whether Lightspeed-3 can withstand light-based energy. However, judging from the performance test, there should be no problem in theory.
"As long as it works." Li Xiu turned around and prepared to leave.
"Don't go. You have more than a dozen turtle shells here, and you should have more than a dozen magic cores. You can't use up so many magic cores. Give me five so I can study them... Two is fine... Just one..." Ximen Guan pulled Li Xiu, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Just these two." Li Xiu took two light-based magic cores and gave them to Ximen Guan.
It is hard to say whether there will be a chance to go to the City of Love in the future. Even if you can go to the City of Love, you may not have the chance to kill the white-shelled turtle again. These light-based magic cores are Li Xiu’s greatest wealth and will be useful in the future.
After leaving the laboratory, Li Xiu went directly to the Gate of the Brave, where Jani and his men had already been waiting.
"Lord City Lord, do you think they are okay?" Jani said, pointing at the guards behind him.
"Yes, I'll take the people away first, you go back first." Li Xiu didn't care who they were, as long as they followed him in.
"Yes, do you want me to go with you?" Jani said respectfully.
"Of course you can go if you want." Li Xiu said lightly.
"City Lord, you are so kind to me. I want to do my best for you." Jani said quickly.
"Then let's go together." Li Xiu directly used the trial badge to swipe out the trial that would issue admission tickets, and then he took them into the trial field.
The B-level dark maze is not difficult at all for the trial-takers from the City of Light. Even if Li Xiu doesn’t lead them, they can pass it easily.
When choosing the rewards, four admission tickets were given out by the twelve people, and Li Xiu gave the remaining people trial badges and allowed them to enter the Black Death City together.
Although these people were all considered true trial-takers, they had never seen Li Xiu play like this.
He opened the trial door but did not let them in. He used five trial badges in a row to open the door before they could get in. After they got in, he used the trial badges to let them follow him into the trial area. For ordinary trial-takers, this was really too luxurious.
Familiar black city, familiar furnace and streets. Li Xiu glanced at Jani, and Jani understood and shouted to the ten trialists: "From now on, you must strictly obey the orders of the city lord. No one is allowed to act on their own. After leaving, you are not allowed to leak a word of what happened today, otherwise you will be punished by military law."
"Yes." Ten guards answered in unison.
"You helped me complete the task here, and each of you will be awarded first-class merit." Li Xiu said lightly.
Hearing Li Xiu say that they were going to be awarded first-class merit, the ten guards were overjoyed. They knew what first-class merit meant. It could be exchanged for magic spirits in the City Lord's Mansion. They dreamed of owning a magic spirit of their own.
Unfortunately, most trial participants find it difficult to even possess the lowest level of demon spirits as the drop rate is too low.
Jani's eyes turned red as he listened to this. There was actually a first-class merit reward. Not everyone could get the first-class merit. Unless one made a significant contribution, it would be impossible to get the first-class merit.
Even if a member of the Royal Guard was injured while completing a mission, he could generally only receive second-class merit.
Although second-class merit can also be exchanged for magic spirits, the quality cannot be guaranteed. First-class merit can be exchanged for high-quality magic spirits.
Although Jani also has a high-quality magic spirit, he bought it at a high price and it is not as good as the magic spirit exchanged for first-class merit.
However, Li Xiu didn't tell him, and Jani didn't dare to ask. He felt as uncomfortable as if he was scratched by a cat.
When the Black Death Demon appeared, Li Xiu had no intention of taking action, so he let Jani take the ten guards to deal with it.
Although Jani was cruel and greedy, his ability to get things done was impeccable. He commanded ten guards to kill the Black Death Demon. It seemed that he was quite methodical and it was obvious that he had received a lot of training.
Even the last high-quality demon spirit that appeared was constantly pulled and killed by the ten guards.
After dealing with the Black Death Demon, Li Xiu brought them to the Dark House and pushed the door open and walked in.
Jani, his personal guards and Li Xiu followed into the underworld house. They all looked at the environment inside the house with some curiosity.
"The city lord is the city lord. I have never heard of anyone being able to enter the house in the Black Death City." Jani said to himself.
"Madam boss, I brought some people here to drink." Li Xiu shouted towards the second floor.
When he said the word "proprietress", Li Xiu couldn't help but think of the proprietress in the City of Love. Unfortunately, the voice of the proprietress in the Underworld House was different from that of the proprietress in the City of Love, so they should not be the same person.
"Except the one next to you, no one else is qualified to drink the wine here." The proprietress's voice came from the second floor, which made Li Xiu slightly startled.
"Do I need qualifications to drink?" It was the first time that Li Xiu knew that one needed qualifications to drink in the Underworld House. This made his plan fail.
"If anyone can come here to drink, why would you need to look for them?" the proprietress said unhappily.
"That's true." Li Xiu didn't ask what kind of people were qualified to drink. He just glanced at Jani beside him. He didn't expect that this guy was actually qualified to drink. He was just a D-level trial-taker. Among the ten guards, there were also several D-level trial-taker, but they were not qualified, which meant it was not because of the level.
"Do you want to drink?" Li Xiu came behind the bar and asked Jani.
"Yes." Jani understood and answered immediately.
"Okay." Li Xiu nodded with satisfaction, then looked towards the wine cabinet and started searching from it.
He had seen and drunk all these wines at cocktail parties in the City of Love. He felt that those wines seemed very similar to the wines here, but they were different.
After a while, Li Xiu selected seven bottles of wine. The drink he wanted to mix was the "Punishment and Sin" in the cocktail recipe.
The seven bottles of wine were "Angel of Purgatory" and "Black Cardinal" that Li Xiu had used before, and the remaining five were "Seven Deadly Sins", "Glacier of the Underworld", "Night of Bliss", "Source of All Evil" and "Holy Water of Purification" that he had not used before.
Sin and Punishment, also known as "The Eternal Seal of the End of Corruption", is one of the most difficult wines to mix.
The first six types of wine must be put into the pot in pairs, and the last type of wine must be put into the pot when the first six types of wine are balanced. Both the amount and the timing are extremely strict. Any deviation will result in failure.
The most demanding thing is that all this must be completed within seven seconds. Even if it is more than one millisecond, the cocktail making will fail.
There won't be any signs of failure, but drinking it would probably be worse than death.
Failure and success can only be determined through experience and cannot be seen with the eyes, so if this cup of wine succeeds, it will be a great blessing, but if it fails, it will not be realistic to want to rest in peace.
The reason why Li Xiu chose to mix this cup of "Sin and Punishment" was because he had drunk these wines in the City of Love. If the wine in the Underworld House and the wine in the City of Love were the same, then the "Sin and Punishment" mixed with these seven kinds of wine should be of great help to Li Xiu.
The six kinds of wine, the Angel of Purgatory and the Holy Water of Purification, the Black Cardinal and the Source of All Sins, the Night of Bliss and the Glacier of Hell, must be put into the pot in pairs. The amount and timing must not be wrong. Moreover, the position of putting the wine into the pot is also very important. The six kinds of wine must be put into the pot one after the other to achieve a perfect balance. There is only a slight difference between success and failure.
Li Xiu opened the shaker, picked up the Angel of Purgatory and Holy Water of Purification in each hand, opened the bottle with one hand, and poured it directly into the jug.
A drop of red purgatory angel that looked like insoluble blood and a drop of crystal clear holy water without any impurities were put into the pot together. Immediately, intertwined red and white lights appeared in the pot.
The room was also illuminated in red and white, and the smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of wine immediately filled everyone's nose. Some people felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, while others were addicted to the strange fragrance.
The wine bottles were collected as soon as they were touched. Li Xiu put down the two bottles of wine, picked up the two bottles of Cardinal in Black and The Source of All Evil, swung his hands to open the bottles, and used the centrifugal force of the rotation of the bottles to throw out a drop of wine as black as ink and a ball of wine as thick as fog from the bottles and put them into the pot at the same time.
While the wine was being poured into the pot, Li Xiu had already put down the two bottles of wine, and picked up the Paradise Night and Netherworld Glacier, and poured in two kinds of smoke-like liquids, one pink and one green.
After the six kinds of wine were put into the pot, the pot suddenly became colorful, like a glare swaying, and it also showed strange color changes like a picture of hell.
The ten trial-takers plus Jani couldn't help wanting to vomit at this point. The taste was more than just bloody.
Jani tried hard to suppress the churning in his stomach and bit his lips tightly, fearing that he would really vomit.
I was even more shocked in my heart: "Lord City Lord, are you really going to let me drink this glass of wine?"
Just by smelling the odor, Jani felt that this thing might be more terrible than poison, and he might really die if he drank it.
"No wonder the city lord promised such a huge reward. It must be a life-threatening job!" Gianni regretted it very much now. He really shouldn't have followed Li Xiu in.
When he was feeling regretful and upset, the last of the seven deadly sins had already been put into the pot. After that drop of glass-like wine entered the pot, the originally colorful wine suddenly turned transparent.
There was no need to shake the kettle. Li Xiu poured it directly into the cup. The wine was as clear and transparent as water, without a trace of impurities, and without any color. It also did not have the disgusting smell it had before. It just emitted a wisp of cold air, like cold water transformed from an ancient glacier.
"Do you want to drink?" Li Xiu pushed the wine glass in front of Jani and looked at him with narrowed eyes.
