Chapter 24 Friends, there are two more chances
In the Sea of Oceanus, the water-like night pours onto the sea surface, creating sparkling ripples.
On a desolate island, sparse vegetation grew erratically, and a suppressed hum could be heard vaguely in a cave covered by withered vines.
“Ding Dong~~”
With a crisp sound of metal collision, two deformed golden-bronze arrow clusters fell to the ground, with a few pieces of torn flesh hanging from the sharp tapered blades on both sides.
Leaning on the side of the stone wall, Lorne spit out the bitten piece of wood in his mouth, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and endured the excruciating pain.
Immediately, he took a deep breath and applied medicine to his injured left shoulder and right leg with trembling hands. He looked at the half metal arrow shaft with delicate wavy patterns carved on the ground and a faint starlight floating on the fracture, and cursed secretly. .
Oliha Steel! A bunch of losers!
The so-called "Oliha Steel", also known as "Orichalcum", is a mysterious metal widely mined in the legend of Atlantis. It has extremely superior hardness, toughness and magic conductivity. It is used to create magical weapons. It is even an excellent material for divine weapons.
It was mentioned in Homer's epic poem that the crown and earrings of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, were made of this kind of Oliha steel.
In occult science, wizards and witches usually refer to it as the "three magic minerals" together with "mithril" and "crystal". When used properly, it can produce powerful power and can even cause damage to the body of gods, let alone demigods. .
Lorne's injuries were caused by the group of Atlantean Guards using specially made Oriha steel secret arrows during the sea chase that lasted for half a month.
Chased me for more than half a month, and even shot me with an Oriha steel secret arrow worth as much as gold. What's the matter?
Didn't I just sacrifice more than 100 god-blooded sea monsters, kill a demigod illegitimate son of Poseidon, and kill you on the way...
Let me count…
1…4…5…7…uh…8 gold, and a demigod vice-captain who was seriously injured?
After carefully calculating his results, Lorne couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, feeling a little guilty.
Well, it is indeed a bit harsh.
But there was nothing we could do about it. Whoever let the group of Atlanteans see him was like a thin dog chasing a rabbit, biting and refusing to let him go.
In a life-and-death situation, his own life is in danger, so he can't be merciful and expect the other party to remember his kindness, right?
Tsk, it seems that this matter is not negotiable.
While Roan was depressed and groaning, he tore off a few pieces of clean cloth and bandaged the slowly healing wounds. He closed his eyes and leaned against the stone wall, entering into meditation to restore his magic power and physical energy. At the same time, his mind was racing, thinking about the past half month. A thrilling encounter.
At first, he ultimately chose to trust the woman Hecate's advice.
After all, she is alive so that she can have fun next time.
So, Lorne drove the boat to the west before the group of Atlanteans encircled them.
But it is simply a fantasy to want to outperform the Atlanteans who have received the blessing of the sea **** on this sea of Okeanos.
In just three days, he was overtaken by the Atlantean Guards who were behind him.
As a last resort, Lorne could only bite the bullet and fight and retreat. In the end, he almost exhausted all means and boarded his own ship before tearing apart the defense line of the group of Atlanteans and successfully breaking through. .
But on this vast sea of Oceanus, without a ship, his maneuverability was greatly reduced.
So not long after, they were blocked on a desert island by the group of persistent Atlanteans.
This time, Lorne was not so lucky.
After taking advantage of the favorable terrain and magic traps arranged in advance, he quietly killed three gold-level Atlantis guards. He was first chased all over the mountain by the group of mad dogs, and then shot with two arrows. , and finally had no choice but to jump into the sea, detonate the entire desert island, and run away in the chaos.
Fortunately, the secret ceremony to upgrade him to a demigod allowed him to absorb the divinity of hundreds of god-blooded sea monsters, and at the same time indirectly gain some pretty good underwater activities.
In addition, in the ocean of the Greek Gods, there were as many large and small islands as stars. Only then did Lorne reach a remote desert island, rest for a while, and get a temporary respite.
But this kind of peace will definitely not last long.
The mad dogs who are fighting him to the death will sooner or later find his head after searching the area.
So, this is not gambling, it is clearly a gamble on life!
As Lorne gritted his teeth and greeted a certain dog gambling goddess, the waning moon under the night sky rose to the sky, and the crisp sound of three dice sliding sounded in his head one after another with the arrival of midnight.
Then the three oracles on the bronze altar emerged, which corresponded to the emblems of the gods revealed by the three throws.
“Task one, complete a blasphemy against Apollo.”
“Task two, complete a blasphemy against Zeus.”
“Task three, complete a blasphemy against Hera.”
here we go again…
Lorne weakly raised his hand and clicked on the second of the three shadows that appeared in front of him, while baring his teeth and cursing.
“Zeus, you are a scheming piece of trash, a shameless cheating creature, an animal that only knows how to sow seeds. I curse you for walking on the wall and spitting blood..."
The firepower output didn't last for a few sentences, and the second oracle in front of Lorn's eyes turned into little bits of light and dust and shattered.
At the same time, a bronze badge with the ring of Ouroboros (Ouroboros) engraved on the front and back emerged from the void and fell into Lorne's hands.
Lorne, however, didn't even look at it. He casually sketched out a few Hermes words and threw the thing into the formed magic circle.
The four elements of water, fire, earth, and air constitute the essence of the world. Therefore, Hermes with this nature can also build a similar small independent space through the magic circle, making it convenient for storing the magician's belongings. tool.
At this moment, the bronze badge in Lorne's hand was thrown into the magic circle, and a clear sound of metal collision was heard. A dozen identical bronze badges were all thrown into the magic circle to eat dust.
A pile of rubbish…
Lorne glanced at them, not showing much interest in them at all.
After all, the lowest-level chips dropped by [daily books] were placed on the gambling table and could only be played in friendly games, which would not help his current situation at all.
Instead of wasting energy on these gadgets, it is better to see what useful things [Zhou Ben] can drop.
Muttering unhappily, Lorne stretched out his hand, and the twelve-sided dice stored on the bronze altar fell into his palm.
Then three oracles flashing with silver light appeared in front of his eyes.
“Test one: win a battle and complete an insult to the divine authority of war (completed).”
“Test 2: Hunt a divine-blooded sea beast and complete an insult to the divine power of the ocean (completed).”
“Test 3: Destroy a demigod weapon and complete an insult to the divine authority of the Craftsman God (unfinished).”
At the same time, the first two oracles dispersed into starlight and turned into two silver badges of the same shape.
With the acquisition of two silver badges, Lorne's gloomy face finally showed a pleasant smile.
Now, I finally have the capital to draw two more cards.
