Chapter 122 Giant, New Expertise
Chapter 122 Giant, New Expertise
Through his observation Haki, Zhou Ning could clearly sense that there was considerable danger hidden inside!
Originally he would never take the risk, but now the opportunity is rare, and with the vampire Zhou Ning's template card, it is enough to ensure his own safety.
There must be a reason why Harrison collected a large amount of ordinary super-powered potions. We must investigate as soon as possible to find out what the Curse Cult is up to.
If you are still so timid, what kind of time traveler are you?
When Zhou Ning reached the gate of the manor, he was stopped by two guards in black uniforms. The leading guard politely said, "Mr. Wright, your pass."
Fortunately, he was prepared. Zhou Ning took out the pass he had just found from his arms and showed it to them.
The leading guard nodded and immediately stepped aside.
After another round of inspection, they found themselves in front of a magnificent main house. The danger Zhou Ning had sensed existed in and around the main house.
Perhaps it was because of some extraordinary means of isolation, but as soon as he arrived here, his observation Haki was like a stone sinking into the ocean, and he could only feel that it was very dangerous inside.
Zhou Ning took a deep breath, reached out and pushed open the main door. In the magnificent hall, Zhou Ning could see Harrison Rivers, a middle-aged, slightly plump man, and a middle-aged gentleman in a black tuxedo sitting on a set of sofas and talking.
Zhou Ning happened to know the slightly plump man, Todd Ruth, a well-known senator and Secretary of the Admiralty in the game. He often appeared in newspapers and was a close confidant of Charles VI.
The gentleman sitting next to him looked to be about 4 or 50 years old and had a bookish air. Zhou Ning noticed that he was wearing a sapphire ring on his finger, which must be an extraordinary item.
As soon as he saw this gentleman, Zhou Ning knew the source of his sense of crisis... Because just by seeing him, Zhou Ning felt that his back muscles were always tense, and he even couldn't help but want to leave here.
That was an intuition of danger based on Observation Haki, and this intuition told him that this person should be more terrifying than Harrison Rivers.
Zhou Ning couldn't help but sigh, the world of extraordinary people is so damn dangerous...
Seeing Zhou Ning come in, Harrison Rivers immediately stood up and asked, "Wright, how is the acquisition of the ordinary super potion going? Mr. Bislock has been urging you for a long time."
"Bislock?" Zhou Ning let out a sigh. Of course he still remembered this person, Professor Bislock who appeared in Hollweg Guy's diary and was the murderer of Charles VI.
Although he was an honest man, it didn't mean that Zhou Ning would not lie. Without thinking, he said, "I have found a seller, but he still needs to make it. The delivery is scheduled for three days later."
"Let him hurry."
Harrison Rivers nodded without question. After a brief silence, the middle-aged gentleman rubbed the sapphire ring in his hand and chuckled, "There's no need to rush. My alchemical experiments are currently facing some bottlenecks. We still need to explore the true meaning of life, and we can't mass-produce death at the same time."
"His Majesty the King will cooperate with your actions appropriately, but don't be too obvious. You have already attracted the attention of the Ascetic Church." Navy Minister Todd Ruth said softly.
Even Charles VII was involved? What on earth were they trying to do?
Zhou Ning listened to their conversation while thinking. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. From what they said, it seemed that they wanted to complete the evil god's coming ritual by causing death in large quantities at the same time?
They still had something to talk about, but Wright, played by Zhou Ning, was obviously not a core figure in this group. Harrison Rivers glanced at Zhou Ning and motioned him to leave first.
Zhou Ning was feeling somewhat conflicted when he suddenly saw a guard walk in quickly, approach Harrison Rivers, and speak a few words in a low voice.
Because his observation Haki was affected, Zhou Ning couldn't hear anything and felt itchy in his heart.
Harrison Rivers then frowned and looked at Professor Bislock:
"Mr. Bislock, your big guy got out of control again and killed two of my men."
"For the sake of truth and science, appropriate sacrifices are inevitable," Professor Bislock said with a smile.
big guy?
Their words immediately reminded Zhou Ning of the giant mission he had received before. The current completion rate was 39%, and it was still lying quietly in the task bar.
Mission Tip: Rumor has it that a giant appeared in Woodgate Park in the eastern part of Docklands. Find this giant and verify the rumor. This will be a difficult task, so don't let your eyes fool you.
Could it be that the giant they are talking about is in this manor?
Staying any longer would inevitably arouse suspicion. After Zhou Ning walked out of the main house door helplessly, he glanced at the guard who had just come in to report. He saw that the guard did not stop after leaving the house, but walked straight along the long corridor towards the back of the manor.
Why don't you follow me and take a look?
Zhou Ning's mind turned, and he took advantage of the blind spot of several guards to quietly slip into the corridor and followed him without thinking. In the cover of the night, he made no sound.
With his amazing agility of over 80 points, Zhou Ning followed the black-clad guard all the way into the manor. He encountered two groups of guards in the middle, but Zhou Ning easily avoided them.
In front is a wide area with wasteland and water, backed by a hill, and a small lake in the middle of the wasteland.
Wait, Zhou Ning couldn't help but widen his eyes. He suddenly saw a familiar head in the middle of the lake. It had a round face and a beard, and looked very much like Charles I printed on the Victoria banknotes.
Most of his body was submerged in the lake, lying on its back, but the portion exposed above the surface gave a good idea of how massive his body was. Definitely... definitely more than fourteen meters.
In his mind, Jasmine's voice tutted, "Goddess, they actually created a living transcendental creature."
"Fuck..."
Even though he'd already guessed it, Zhou Ning still nearly cursed inwardly. Wasn't this just too much of a coincidence? The Sun Guard had been busy for over half a month with no results, only to stumble upon the giant's location by accident.
At this time, a prompt finally came from the panel.
You have completed the first quest in the chain: [Traces of Giants]. You have gained 70000 experience points and 1 random specialization.
[The Giant's Trail (II) has been triggered.]
[Mission Requirements (1): Inform the Sun Watcher of the Giant's whereabouts as soon as possible.]
Sure enough, the reward for the second ring mission doubled to 15, which has reached the A-level standard, but the difficulty is also ridiculously high. Just based on the part of the information learned today, Zhou Ning felt a little scalp tingling.
To put it simply, I feel a little wary and a little curious.
At this time, there were still about 10 minutes left before the effect of the transformation potion ended. Zhou Ning did not stay any longer and chose to leave the manor directly.
It was already two o'clock in the morning when Zhou Ning returned to school. After putting his umbrella back into the umbrella stand, he returned to his room, lit the gas stove, and checked his harvest tonight.
Before leaving, he had only about 600 Victa left of his entire fortune, and was once again destitute.
But when he came back at night, he not only had an extraordinary bullet and four talismans, but also a super potion worth 8000 Victa and 1600 Victa in cash.
Zhou Ning couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that robbery was the right way to go.
Next up was a random specialty reward. After Zhou Ning selected the reward, a prompt appeared on the panel:
[Randomly drawing expertise...Drawing completed]
