Starting From Zero

Chapter 9 I Am the Good Guy and the Bad Guy

After leaving the Demon King's Palace, Baicai and the others were sent to Essinger by me. After they knew that I was a member of the Frost Rose Alliance, they all hoped to join the alliance. I actually only admire the fighting skills of Dead Ghost and Dangdang, but they have always been a team, and it may not be 'sexual' to accept one or two people, so I might as well accept them together. The big one in Ziri is still evolving in the cocoon, so I can only make do with this body for the time being. Rose and the others were not here, and Dangdang was clinging to me again, so when I left Essinger, I had a tail around me.

Dangdang is an ax warrior, and he happens to be helping me hold the sealed Howling Sky Dog. All the way to the monsters' lair, they are in urgent need of help. Dangdang was very excited after entering Du Ling. I walked in so boldly where so many demons gathered. No one within Dangdang's understanding was so bold.

After Shuixu knew that I had arrived, he took Yinyao and Qiong Lin and trotted to me. I didn't see Bi Tuo, so he probably wasn't there. They were stunned when they saw me. "How did you end up like this?" Shuixu was a little surprised by the makeup on his face.

"That's not important. What's important is this." I pulled a black package out of Fenglong Space. Shuixu and the others probably knew what it was. "Hurry up, take the handle, this thing is so heavy."

Qiong Lin quickly took the black cloth package for me, then walked to the table and put the package on it. Shuixu slowly opened the package with trembling hands. When the contents were revealed, all three guardians jumped back. I clearly felt that their reaction was not normal. This is not the way to act when you see something you care about.

"What's wrong? Isn't this the demon king's magic brand?"

Shui Xu seemed to have suddenly turned into a real old man, sitting slumped on the bench. I looked at Yin Yao: "Is this really wrong? I took it according to your records. The picture in Qiong Lin's crystal looks like this!"

Qiong Lin was a little better than Yin Yao and Shui Xu. He reluctantly replied: "The thing is correct, but the heaven has tampered with it."

"Tricks? That's not right! The treasure house is sealed and has not been opened before I went in. Moreover, there is a mythical beast protecting the gate!" As I said that, I took out the newly collected golden fur unicorn. Released. The little guy can transform, usually only staying the size of a pug, but can enlarge to a fighting form during battle. I named him Gangya, because this little guy is invulnerable and is a complete steel beast. "This is my new magic pet. He is the guard in the treasure house."

Shuixu and Yinyao saw this little guy fall off the bench with a plop. "Why is the Vajra Qilin here with you?"

"Oh, it turns out his name is King Kong Qilin. No wonder he's invulnerable!"

"How did you find him?" Shuixu got up and asked.

"I didn't find him, he was already in the treasure house."

"Impossible!" Shui Xu said in confusion: "When Heavenly Court captured the Demon King's Palace, we were discussing the escape of Vajra Qilin. How could he still be in the treasure house? According to your statement, the seal has not been opened. Yes, then the treasure house must still be in its original state, so how did this Vajra Kirin get in?"

"Wait a minute." I interrupted Shuixu's nonsense. "You are all confused now. Please explain everything I want to know clearly, and I will help you find a solution."

"What do you want to know?" Yinyao asked.

"First, why did King Kong Qilin come to your Demon Palace in the first place? What is his origin?"

Yinyao replied: "Vajra Kirin is actually not a purebred Kirin, he is a hybrid."

"Hybrid?"

"Yes. The Vajra Qilin is the offspring of the cross between the European Golden Dragon King and the Chinese Lion King Qilin. And the Vajra Qilin itself has no reproductive ability."

"I understand this. It's like a mule that is a cross between a horse and a donkey. Although it is stronger than a horse and a donkey, it has no reproductive ability. The Vajra Kirin must be a new breed that absorbs the advantages of the Golden Dragon and the Lion King Kirin. "

Shuixu took over from Yin Yao and said: "Although Vajra Qilin cannot reproduce, its own power is extremely powerful. We caught a newborn Vajra Qilin by accident. The Demon King planned to train him to be one of our members. But we didn't expect that he ran away. We were having a meeting to think about how to find him, but the troops from Heaven arrived, and you know what happened next."

I suddenly thought of a special skill of Gangya. "When you opened the treasure house, you found that he was missing. Did you go in and look for it?"

"No." Shui Xu answered firmly. "The treasure house is just one room, and you can see it at a glance. When we found out that he was gone, we immediately closed the treasure house and went out to search, but we didn't find any clues."

"Then I know why he is in the treasure house."

"Why?" the three guardians shouted together.

"It's actually very simple. I'll show you a show and you'll understand." I put the steel teeth on the ground. "Steel Teeth, fighting form."

Roar~ With a loud roar, Gang Ya immediately returned to the battle form of King Kong Qilin, but due to my level restrictions, he is not as big as before. But still about the same size as a polar bear.

Seeing the end of Gangya's transformation, I continued to shout: "Gangya, golden barrier."

I saw Gangya lowering his body slightly, and then his whole body suddenly lit up with a dazzling golden light, and the entire hall turned golden in the light. As the light dimmed, the golden color in the hall did not disappear. Everything in the hall seemed to be plated with gold, and the color could not fade away at all. What's even more strange is that Gang Ya actually disappeared, and Gang Ya was completely invisible in the hall.

"Invisible?" Shui Xu is also an old guy. His eyes were very vicious. I reacted immediately.

I waved, and the golden color in the hall gradually faded. Gang Ya also showed his figure on the spot. "You have all seen that Gangya can use a quasi-magical ability to turn the surrounding area into gold, and then he becomes invisible. You must have been too anxious to search the treasure house at that time. In fact, he did not leave at all at that time Treasure house. Just invisible."

"So that's the reason!" Shuixu rubbed his head: "It's true that caring leads to chaos!"

I continued to ask: "Now let's ask the second thing. You said that Heaven has done something, what kind of manipulation did they do? Isn't this the seal you want?"

Qiong Lin explained: "The seal is a kind of energy rather than a substance. The demon king stored his mana energy in this ring, so we want you to take it back, but what we actually need is the energy in this ring. "

"That means Tamaki is right, right?"

"Yes, the ring is correct, but the energy is missing."

I suddenly pointed at Gang Ya nervously. "Could it be eaten by him?"

"Impossible." Shui Xu said: "Mana energy is not a physical thing and requires special methods to absorb it. Moreover, the ring itself is imprinted. Unless the spiritual imprint can match it, it cannot be opened."

"How did those guys in Tianting get the energy out?"

"They didn't get the energy out at all." Shui Xu said: "They used magic power to forcibly disperse the magic power inside. The free energy has long since dissipated over a long period of time!"

"Does that mean there's no way to recover?"

"I'm afraid so." Shuixu confirmed the answer helplessly.

Yin Yao suddenly said: "In fact, not necessarily. Generally speaking, such a large amount of mana in Heaven is unlikely to be wasted. If they use something like the Yuan Gathering Array after being dispersed, it should be able to collect it again."

"Isn't that worse?" I looked at Yin Yao: "After Heaven gets those magic powers, no matter which god uses them, it's definitely not a good thing!"

"This is not necessarily true." Yin Yao continued: "Even if the Juyuan Array can collect the scattered mana, it will probably take a lot of time, and if such a huge energy is to be collected and readjusted to a usable state, This job must be very troublesome. Based on the time we were arrested, even if Heavenly Court moves quickly, it should have reached the point where some of the energy has been converted. If Heavenly Court wants to take all of this energy for itself, it will take at least another day for Heavenly Court to Two thousand years.”

"Oh, I understand." I nodded. When I looked up, I suddenly found three guardians staring at me. "Why are you looking at me? You don't want me to go to heaven to help you steal it, right?"

Shuixu immediately ran over with a bad smile and patted my shoulder: "This glorious and arduous task of revitalizing the demon clan is left to you."

"Stop it." I quickly pushed him away. "Who said I was going?"

"If you don't want to go, do you want us to go?"

I immediately shook my head like a rattle. "First, you don't know where Heaven is. Even if I go into the ground, someone will definitely follow me, so there is no chance of making a move. Second, you can disguise yourself when you go to the Demon Palace. After all, no one knows me, but I have acquaintances in the heaven, and they will betray me as soon as we meet. Third, I have completed your task for you. As for the destruction of things, it is none of my business. It is because you did not plan well. Fourth, even if you get the energy back . The benefit is yours, why should I take the risk? Fifth, even if I am crazy enough to steal it for you, I don’t even know where the thing is, how can I do it. Besides, even the idea that energy still exists is It's a guess, maybe the energy has dissipated, you want me to steal the air?"

"Then what do you have to do to help us?"

"First of all, you must tell me a way to find the specific location of those energies. Without this premise, I will not be able to help you anyway. If you can solve the first problem, the second one will be easy. As long as you can Give me some reward that I think is worth it, and I can help you take risks to steal it. Also, if you can help me take care of this guy, I will be more confident."

In my gesture, Dangdang placed an object with three layers inside and three layers outside wrapped in talisman paper on the ground. The three guardians all asked me with their eyes what this thing was. I smiled and opened a piece of the talisman, revealing a dog's head.

"What kind of dog is this? Such a strong fairy energy." The monsters were already in the gourd when Erlang Shen was enshrined, so they didn't know the Roaring Dog. However, these guys went around collecting information after they came out, and I made up for them. Part of the knowledge, they all know the status of Erlangshen, but they have never seen it.

I laughed and explained to them: "This is Erlang God's guardian beast, the Roaring Sky Dog."

"Is this the Howling Sky Dog? No wonder it has such strong immortal energy." Shui Xu felt that this immortal energy had no doubts about my words.

Yinyao looked at Howling Sky Dog and asked me, "Why did you bring him here?"

"I want him to be useful. But I need your help."

"What help do you need from us?"

"Is there any way you can erase the memory? I mean a more thorough one. It cannot be restored no matter what. And it is best to erase only part of the memory."

Qiong Lin said: "It is said that Meng Po Tang can wash away all the memories of the soul, but we don't know how to prepare it, and the medicine is too strong."

Yin Yao said: "I have a way. The poison of our black python itself is spiritual. If used together with the permanent amnesia technique, it should be able to completely erase the memory. As long as the amnesia is manipulated If you're skilled enough, you can erase a specific time, or a specific thing related to something, if you want."

Shui Xu immediately said: "You have so much poison, but it's hard to find someone with permanent amnesia!"

"How about using time reversal instead?" Qiong Lin made a suggestion.

"It's even harder to find a space mage who can practice to that level!" Shui Xu immediately rejected the proposal.

"Yes." Yin Yao suddenly jumped up and said: "Use the soul splitting technique. Just tear apart the soul of the Howling Sky Dog and tear off all the parts you don't want to remember."

I reminded Yin Yao with my heart pounding: "Please, I want the earth to be alive. Who can bear the pain of tearing apart the soul? When the time comes, the Roaring Dog will become a mad dog and it will still be nothing."

Shui Xu suddenly jumped up: "Really, just thinking about using spells, forgetting that we have a spiritual elixir."

"What is the Spirit Cleansing Pill?" I have never heard of this kind of pill.

Shui Xu explained: "The Cleansing Pill is something similar to Meng Po Tang, but the power of this pill is not as powerful as Meng Po Tang. Every time you take one pill, you will forget the latest 8 hours of memory. Taking two pills at a time is 16 hours. Anyway, just start from the last memory and wash forward, one pill lasts 8 hours."

"Do you have any?" I asked Shuixu excitedly.

"Yes, there are, but there are only 3 left."

"Enough is enough. Just one pill is enough. The first time Xiaotian Dog saw me in the Demon Palace was 6 hours ago. One hour is equal to two hours. One pill is more than enough."

"Then I'll go get it for you right now." Shuixu turned around and disappeared into a ball of black smoke. He came back a dozen seconds later with an extra box in his hand. He opened the box and handed it to me. Inside, there were three small pills that were no bigger than steel balls in bicycle bearings.

"Is this that thing?"

"Yes." Shui Xu said: "The Spirit Cleansing Pill can erase the memory of the soul together, and it cannot be restored no matter what method is used in the future. Just give it to Xiaotian Dog and it will be fine."

"Okay. Come quickly and help."

A few of us stuffed a pill into Xiaotian Dog's throat. Yinyao specially used a stick to push it down, confirming that it had entered Xiaotian Dog's throat, and then poured it into him. I took a sip of water, which must have washed the medicine down.

After I finished pouring the medicine, I said to Shuixu: "Okay, now it's your turn to help me put on a show."

An hour later, the comatose Howling Dog felt himself shaking on the ground, so he opened his eyes. Howling Sky Dog was surprised to find that his four claws were completely tied together, and a hook and sickle passed through the gap between his four legs to act as a shoulder pole. Two half-humanoid creatures full of demonic aura were walking forward carrying the Howling Dog.

Howling Sky Dog first endured quietly for a while, waiting for his body to gradually recover. At the same time, he was also feeling the demonic energy around him. Howling Sky Dog felt the auras of many monsters, but they were all far away. There were only two little monsters carrying him around. The demonic aura on the little demons shows that they have just started and their strength is very poor. Howling Sky Dog was confident that he could easily deal with three or four thousand such little monsters, so he suddenly began to struggle and plan to escape. But as soon as he struggled, the rope on his body suddenly tightened automatically. No matter how he moved he couldn't get out. And the more he moved, the weaker he became.

Two monsters carried the Howling Dog. The monster walking behind can naturally see the howling dog. He smiled and said to Howling Sky Dog: "Haha, don't waste your efforts. I know you feel that we are no match for you and want to take the opportunity to escape. Do you think the guardians are so stupid that you are not worthy of being escorted by the two of us? ?Hmph, look at the rope on your body. This is a rare treasure in the demon world, specially used to tie up gods like you. The more you move it, the tighter it becomes, and it will continue to absorb your mana. If you move too much, it will be sucked Become a mummy, hahahaha!"

The monster in front also smiled and said: "What nonsense are you talking to him? Go back and give it to Heifengpo to make dog meat soup. We will also treat ourselves as gods, hahahaha...!"

The monster in front of him smiled but stopped laughing because an arrow was stuck in his forehead. Even if the Howling Sky Dog is tied up, he can feel the powerful magic attached to the arrow shaft. The monster behind threw the Howling Dog away and immediately looked around warily: "Who is it? Come forward quickly. How dare you offend me..."

The monster was turning around and looking around, but just as he turned around stupidly, a golden shadow suddenly jumped out from the bushes and bit the monster's neck. When the Howling Sky Dog was confused, I ran out from the bushes on the other side. He rushed directly to Howling Sky Dog. He took out a dagger and cut the rope several times, but the rope had no reaction at all.

"What a broken knife!" I looked at the intact rope and the sharpened knife in frustration, and threw the knives out angrily.

By now, Howling Sky Dog could tell that I was here to save him. He immediately said to me: "Do you have a better weapon? This is a magic rope. Generally, weapons can't cut it."

"Then you feel aggrieved first." After I finished speaking, I immediately took off the hook-and-scythe gun that was used as a carrying pole, and then whistled in the direction of Gangya. When Gangya heard the whistle, he threw the monster away with a shake of his head, and then quickly ran towards me. I turned over and rode on Gangya's back. Gangya picked up the Howling Dog that was tied up like a piglet on the ground and ran into the bushes to escape.

Howling Sky Dog could feel the demonic energy from behind concentrating towards this side. He was pretty sure that the monsters discovered that he had been rescued and chased after him. Among these demons, there were three super powerful demons that were extremely fast. They were about to catch up with them. The Howling Sky Dog was being dragged away, feeling worried but unable to help.

Just when he was about to be overtaken, a mountain surrounded by heavy fog suddenly appeared in front of him. As we get closer, the mountains become more and more obvious. Howling Sky Dog was surprised to find that it was not a mountain at all, but a city. The huge city is still facing each other. Howling Sky Dog has never been to Essinger, like everyone who saw Essinger for the first time. He was also dumbfounded.

I took out a leaf, held it in my hand and shouted: "City tree, help!"

A row of dots of light flashed on the city wall in front of us, and three black figures behind us had already arrived. Xiaotian Dog even saw the huge snake head when Yin Yao returned to its original shape. The red snake letter almost licked our tail when it stretched out.

Shuixu was in human form, holding a skull in his hand, accumulating a green ball of light and about to throw it out, when the light spots flying from the city wall exploded between the three demon guardians and us. Essinger's bombardment is really a critical moment. Of course. Normally it would not be so accurate. Today's scene is for acting, so the trajectory has been calculated in advance. Howling Sky Dog didn't know that we were acting together to trick him. I was so nervous that I could hear his heart pounding while riding on Gang Ya's back.

Shuixu, Yinyao and Qiong Lin bypassed the explosion point of the shells and chased after them again, but more dense shells fell, and the three monsters that exploded were unable to get close as they dodged left and right. A large group of cavalry suddenly rushed out of Essinger's city gate, and several giant dragons flew over from the city wall. The three monsters suddenly stopped, looked at each other and then turned into three black smoke and ran away.

Gangya and I just ran back to Isengard with the Howling Sky Dog tied into a rice dumpling. The Howling Sky Dog was so moved that we burst into tears. I comforted him with a few words and informed Erlangshen to pick him up. Erlangshen arrived in a few minutes, which was really fast enough. Howling Sky Dog was still tied like a rice dumpling, and even the weapons of the guild could not cut through the rope. This is the treasure of the demon clan, and this time I also contributed to cooperate with my acting. Shuixu said that this is called being reluctant to bear children and not being able to trap the wolf.

Erlangshen couldn't cut the rope with his own three-pointed knife, and finally had to take Xiaotian Dog back to Heaven to find someone for help. More than half an hour later, Erlang Shen came back with the Roaring Dog. The rope had been cut, and it was said that it was burned with the real fire of Samadhi.

We found a quiet place to receive Erlangshen. Erlangshen was very grateful as soon as he came up. Xiaotian Dog is Erlangshen's most loyal friend. He has always been with Erlangshen. To put it crudely, he depends on each other for life. Erlang Shen was extremely moved that I could rescue the Howling Sky Dog.

As for the reason why I appeared there, I explained that I was helping Tianting to investigate the monsters' plan to attack the Demon Palace. It happened that the monsters came out of the Demon Palace after attacking the Demon Palace. I later entered the Demon Palace to check and found out that the divine generals inside All dead. After chasing for a long time, I caught up with this monster team, and finally rescued the Howling Sky Dog.

I told Erlangshen about checking the information about the Demon Palace last time. It was like taking a precaution. Erlangshen didn't doubt it at all. As for what I said about going in to check the situation later, this was to prevent Heaven from discovering the traces I left behind. Although there is no mention of fingerprint checking in the game, there is no guarantee that Heavenly Court will have no way of discovering the traces I left behind when I entered the Demon Palace. In this way, even if they find out that I have entered the Demon Palace, they will not be suspicious.

The most puzzling question for Erlang Shen from the beginning to the end is why Xiaotian Dog lost his memory. He has no memory of what happened in the last 16 hours. He said that he only remembered that he was guarding the Demon Palace with the generals, and the next second he remembered was that he was carried away in a coma, and then he was rescued by me. Although Erlangshen felt that something was wrong, he could not suspect me, and the most useful memory of Howling Sky Dog now is completely blank. Even if he wanted to suspect me, there was no evidence. All the gods and generals are dead, and now there is truly no evidence of death.

Erlangshen simply thanked me and said that Heaven might summon me for a commendation in the future, and then left. Erlangshen left Isengard with his front foot, and I slipped to Duling with my back foot. Shuixu and the others were waiting for me at the gate with eager eyes, and they were all extremely excited when they saw my arrival.

After arriving at the living room, I said to Shuixu: "Now I have gained the gratitude of Erlang Shen, and Heaven may need to summon me, so that I will have the opportunity to go to Heaven. How can you and I discover those energies? ? If you can’t think of a solution before Heaven summons me, then you will never mention the Demon King’s magic power to me again. There will be no shop like this after passing this village.”
