Chapter 389 Three Sacred Wishes

Lu Yao took a sip of hot coffee and looked down the entry for "Temple Warrior", recording the subsequent development and evolution of this phrase line by line.

 …

The pollution of the Almighty Stone caused a large number of aberrant beasts to breed. The Huoqi Tribe was trapped in the search for self-identity and the separation of the species. Against this background of chaos and integration, one of the core secrets of the White Castle, the [Stigmata Armor], also mutated.

Stigmata armor uses a steam furnace as the driving core, with keel and dragon scales as the armor frame and protective outer layer. It is also affected by the interference reaction.

White Castle used dragon bones to create a total of five pieces of holy mark armor, two of which were deformed and three of which were transformed.

The distorted stigmata armor was twisted into a ferocious-looking metal-armored beast, which was imprisoned and sealed deep under the White Castle by Philus. Scholars have yet to be able to tame it.

 The three transformed armors awakened their own will and evolved completely different personalities.

The pollution from the Almighty Stone and the dragon carcass caused a strong stress reaction, stimulating their own growth and causing complex multiple evolutions.

Concerning these three special individuals, Philus, the person in charge of the White Castle, visited the chief apostle tyrant of Yao City. After repeated discussions, Philus used the title "Temple Warrior".

 The three Stigmata armors have all been given the name [Holy Vow]. Only contractors recognized by the Holy Vow can borrow their power and fight with them.

 These three holy wishes are [Mr. Why], [Fire Man] and [Chess King].

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　When awakening, you have a strong desire to explore, are very curious, and are full of the urge to find out the mysteries of all things in the world. It has a thirst for knowledge and respects the power and results of wisdom.

The contractor it chose was Long Ji, the prophet of Yao City.

Long Ji, who is engaged in deciphering dragon language and magic, has almost no involvement in worldly affairs. He has been immersed in the ocean of knowledge and academics all year round, and has been recognized and respected by Mr. Why.

 At first Longji refused.

 “I really don’t have time.”

The Dragonborn Prophet said: "Please find someone else. What I know is very limited. New ruins of the ancient Rose Kingdom have been excavated. Their language, writing and various folk cultures require me to spend a lot of time studying. To verify and inspire dragon language deciphering.”

But why is Mr. very sincere? He has been following Longji like a follower, usually keeping quiet and not disturbing the prophet's research.

Only when Longji is done taking a rest, he will turn on the One Hundred Thousand Whys mode, take out a book and ask for advice frantically.

“Mr. Longji, when casting dragon language spells, which one is more important, the clear pronunciation of dragon language, or the ups and downs of the tone?”

“Both are important. If dragon language spells are cast in the traditional way of the dragon clan, unclear enunciation will cause the spell to be interrupted, and incorrect intonation will greatly reduce the effect of the spell, and may even cause the spell to be ineffective.”

"Understood."

 The armored man took out a small notebook and charcoal pen and wrote down the records.

“Mr. Longji, does the power of spectacle come from civilization or the rules of the world?”

Long Ji told it: "The current mainstream view is that spectacles can reflect part of the power of world rules, and one or several civilizations are the origins and holders of spectacles."

"It's like a sword. The sword is made by craftsmen, but the manufacturing process imitates and utilizes the rules of nature. Only by being sharp can cutting and chopping be completed. The final user is the sword holder. Craftsmen create wonders. civilization, the power of rules is the essence and prototype of this sword, and the sword holder is the **** or mortal who uses wonders."

"Of course, this statement is just speculation and a mental assumption. The current ability of the Yao people is not enough to support in-depth research on such complex issues."

 The armored man kept nodding his head as he listened, and wrote down these answers in his handbook.

 …

　　Although he has repeatedly declined the holy wish, Long Ji will still try his best to clear up its doubts.

Mr. Why has Mr. Long Ji been with him for ten years, serving tea and water, and studying hard? Finally, Long Ji relented and agreed to his contract request.

 It is said that it is a contract, but it is more like accepting a disciple.

From Lu Yao’s perspective, Mr. Why is a pair of walking green soft armor. Wearing a black robe, it spent most of its time at the side of the temple, quietly guarding the prophet.

 A secret book that records various knowledge. The holder can activate the [War of Words] mode to engage in debates with enemies. The probability of success in starting a verbal battle depends on the level of the Book of Knowledge and the difference in wisdom level between the two parties.

 …

 Its ability amused Lu Yao.

You are obviously very powerful in force, but you like to convince others with reason?

 It seems that why the gentleman should be able to talk to Zhike Monk.

 The level of Holy Wish is very low and the initial panel is high. According to the World Encyclopedia backend records, they grow and evolve slowly and rely heavily on feedback from contractors to improve various panels and abilities.

 Lu Yao looked at the second person.

[Fire Man] is as its name suggests. It is a pair of tall red knight's armor. The flames on the helmet stretch long and high into the sky. The image is quite strong.

 Its contractor is the prophet Blackforge.

 Different from Long Ji’s master-disciple relationship, Black Forge and Huoren are more like partners.

Dark Demon Black Forge naturally likes flames and high-temperature areas, and the same goes for Pyro people.

Pyroman has very high requirements for fuel. Black Forge has both the [deep extraction] ability and the ability to produce magic oil. The two sides are matched with each other.

 Unlike Mr. Why, Pyro has a bad temper. It likes to bathe in the underground magma of Egil's Fire every day. It loves to be alone, and especially hates situations where there are many people.

Only during working periods - that is, when responding to external disasters or dangers, and when summoned by the Black Forge, the Pyroman will leave the magma bath and start combat mode.

 【Sacred Contract (Black Forging)】

  【Pray for fire】

 Convert the fire element into a normal damage bonus and continuously detonate it, causing a wide range of fire damage. The higher the damage caused in the state of praying for fire, the higher the detonation damage.

 …

Pyroman is an explosive warrior unit. Its ability is to add [Fire Prayer] to itself, causing fire elements to detonate. The mechanism is similar to combo damage.

 The last holy wish is [Chess King], but the person it contracts is an ordinary 19-year-old young man named Buma.

When Lu Yao clicked to find Bu Ma, he and Hei Forge were dealing with a group of wildly running single-furnace beasts.

In pixel art, the One-Heart Beasts are a group of Brass Boars. They flew around with their hooves, smashing rocks and trees with their heads, destroying everything around them.

The Pyroman wielded a luminous sword and chopped down the single-furnace beasts and pigs.

Then Pyro stood still, a red light flashed from the sword in his hand, and the bodies of all the single-furnace beasts that were hit suddenly exploded, causing a large fire.

The chess king holds a shimmering long bow and performs long-range suppression and kiting on a sixty-year-old beast. The sixty-year-old beast roared, but was unable to shorten the distance between the two sides. In the end, it could no longer bear the harassment and ran away.

Lu Yao discovered in the background that the long bow in the chess king's hand was called [Armor-Breaking Arrow], and it belonged to the same series as the tempered sword and hundred-fold shield.

The arrows of the armor-piercing arrows are made from the spikes of the [Black Water Strider] and coated with [Sleeping Agent], specifically designed to deal with various extraordinary creatures.

What attracted Lu Yao's attention was the knight behind the chess king.

This pixel villain is wearing brown clothes and has black curly hair. He is also a genuine civilian.

A huge black and white chessboard appeared under Buma's feet, with black and white chess pieces flashing on the chessboard. He was like a minesweeper, finding the white spots and marking the black spots.

 After completing the entire chessboard, he said: "The winner has been decided."

Just like announcing the ending, Buma's chessboard here completed the deduction, and the battlefield ahead also ended simultaneously.

Driven by Pyro and Chess King, the single-furnace beasts ran all the way, avoiding the village settlements they originally rushed towards. The sixty-year-old beasts behind were also driven to a safe area away from human settlements.

 After using the ability, a [weak] state appeared on Bu Ma's head.

Lu Yao double-clicked the pixel man.

  【Sacred Contract (Buma)】

 【The world is like chess LV3】

Use spells to build a real-time chessboard and set targets as chess pieces for deduction. The higher the complexity of the deduction, the greater the consumption and the lower the success rate. Successful deductions or chess challenges will help this skill grow.

 …

　　Two entries appeared above his head at the same time.

 Lu Yao checked the previous records and found that the contractor and the holy wish can be integrated with the help of [Symbiosis] and [Sacred Contract].

 Take Buma as an example.

He and the Chess King merged and wore armor, and their name became [Templar LV2] Chess King Bulma. The health, mana, damage, defense and other attributes of the two are also added together, and all abilities and characteristics are retained.

At first, Shaka's fictional temple warriors were somewhat like saints. The holy wish was the holy cloth, and the temple warriors were the armored ones.

 However, when it finally evolved to this point, it turned into an armor selector. The identities and status of humans and armors are interchanged, but in the end they reach the same destination through different paths, with humans and armor becoming one.

Lu Yao added a point to Buma, and he was given a small upgrade to express his encouragement.

According to past standards, at least heroes can enjoy upgrade bonus points, but Bulma has broken the rules this time.

 Compared to the two prophets, it is not easy for an ordinary person to be recognized as a chess king.

 …

Lu Yao then looked at the castle in Yancheng.

 Blood Knight means everything is normal.

 He is still as steady as a rock.

Lu Yao moved the mouse again and focused his perspective on the dragon's nest in the north.

 Snowman is guarding the dragon's nest alone, and he doesn't know what the situation is.

When he looked at the snow-covered northern continent, he found that there were two more steamboats in the dragon's lair here - he didn't know how they got stranded.

 They look like ships, but they have two dull eyes on the hull.

Jimmy the Snowman is lecturing them: "You two are the most useless boat whales I have ever brought! All you found were useless things! What about corals and sunken ships! What are they used for!"

Flames burst out from Jimmy's head: "Is it that difficult for you to go to the bottom of the sea to find a treasure? Don't you have any shame in eating the almighty stone and fuel provided by Dragon's Nest?"

 “Answer me, what is your goal!”

 The same words appeared above the heads of the two ship whales: "Look for the treasures of those who built the embankments!"

Jimmy waved his red gloves: "Why don't you go find it quickly!"

The two ship whales stretched out their oars on both sides, skated all the way from the dragon's nest into the sea, and sailed quickly into the distance.
