165 Chapter 149: Take the Third Princess First
The Scarlet Council elder's position could have so many benefits. It was simply too much.
If he stayed in the dungeon for ten weeks, wouldn't he be able to accumulate several rare resources and gold points without doing anything else?
The feeling of making money while lying down was indeed exhilarating...
Moreover, he could get a 70% discount when buying items in the Scarlet Council. This position of Elder was a little too practical.
Richard was in a high mood.
Out of the series of rewards, the five gold points he obtained were the most important to him.
This was the second time he had obtained gold points... Although he didn't know what it was for yet.
But to be reminded by the system was ultimately precious. It was obvious that it wasn't simple.
And from then on, he would be able to reap 1 point every week. It was simply astonishing.
The Scarlet Council was his blessed land...
After this, the atmosphere in the room became even more harmonious.
Richard thought for a moment and asked.
"President Jones, what plans do we have next?"
Whether it was the kidnapping of the Third Princess or the holy dragon's blood that Ferguson had gotten from god knows where it all meant that the Scarlet Council had long prepared to topple the Templar City.
He was excited just thinking about being able to participate in such an enormous plan.
While the other players still considered how to complete the faction mission, he prepared to flip the table.
If this plan succeeded, who knew what the expressions of those players would be when they saw the already collapsed Templar City after completing the mission...
However, the only pity was that the difficulty of this mission was probably several levels higher than S-rank.
Jones' deep eyes shone as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Elder Richard, do you know the function of the holy dragon's blood?"
Richard hesitated. "It can strengthen skills?"
Jones smiled, and the scars on his face became even more ferocious.
"That is only a part of the ability of the holy dragon's blood...
"The more important characteristic is as long as there is enough holy dragon's blood, it can strengthen every part of the body, making the body incomparably strong.
"Until the final transformation into the body of a dragon, with the talent and power of a dragon."
Richard frowned slightly. Things were good, but... "What does this have to do with our plan?"
Jones did not directly respond but looked to the side.
"Ferguson, you tell Elder Richard..."
Ferguson, who had a very eye-catching magic inscription on its forehead, smiled and went forward. It began to explain the function of the holy dragon's blood and the complete plan of the Scarlet Council.
Since Richard had already left a mark on the Scarlet Book, he was one of them.
Once he intended to betray, the Scarlet Book would issue a warning.
This was also why Ferguson had prepared the list of traitors in advance. If it had not been in a hurry to get the holy dragon's blood back, it would have executed those traitors who had fornicated with the demons long ago.
"Richard, when the Third Princess of the Templar City was born, her father, who is now the king, once sought the blood of a giant dragon who had touched the boundary of the gods and transformed her body into a powerful dragon's body..."
Richard's expression gradually became amazed as he listened to the other party's story.
When Ferguson told him everything, he could not help but exclaim in surprise.
"In other words, the dragon blood in the Third Princess's body is very special.
"As long as the blood of the holy dragon with an ancient curse mixed with her body with dragon blood and poured into her body again, she will become a cursed body…
"As long as the Third Princess returns to the king's city, she will spread the curse to all the templar dragoons. So that the most powerful force of the Templar City, the templar dragoons will completely lose their ability to fight."
"Even the templar dragoons that have fallen into madness will attack their people..."
"And because the curse was from the blood of the holy dragon, it has a terrifying characteristic that no one can dispel. Even the angels who control the holy power could not prevent this from happening...
"Even the angels will be affected by the curse, reducing their ability to fight…"
At the end of Ferguson's speech, Richard felt the madness and horror of this plan.
If this happened when the Covenant of Evil launched its attack, the Templar City's main battle power would probably lose control instantly.
However, he immediately realized the problem.
"If we let the Templar City's main battle power collapse, who will be able to resist the evil monsters from the abyss and hell?"
The Scarlet Council wanted to overthrow the rule of the Templar City, not destroy it.
Jones slowly turned its head. Certainty and strong confidence filled its eyes.
"I've already prepared for this problem...
"I've traveled in other dimensions for a long time and made many friends.
"When the Templar City's troop collapses, and those rotten nobles fall into the mud... My allies will send troops to disperse the evil.
"A new kingdom will be established on this land!"
Richard was shocked by this news. This boss was genuinely a super boss.
Even the armies of other dimensional planes had it. The water in this was getting more and more muddled...
He was now a little confused about the direction of this dungeon.
Why did it feel like many scenarios played out at the same time?
"Since we have the ability, why don't we build a kingdom somewhere else? We must build a kingdom in the Templar City..."
Jones' tone was indescribably cold.
"Chains of the nobles in this city once whipped Ferguson and me!
"Pain and despair once consumed our hearts.
"The pain we suffered will be repaid thousand times over!"
Richard looked at the other party's scarred face and suddenly understood.
The story behind this was not something that few words could explain.
A person's current situation must be directly related to their past growth experience.
Perhaps, the other party had such unrealistic ideals because they were forged from pain over and over again.
However, he had no interest in persuading them. To idealists, these persuasions could only strengthen their beliefs.
If they could change, they would have changed long ago.
Beliefs were illusory, but sometimes they were as strong as mountains and could not be shaken.
Jones soon calmed down.
"Let's leave Templar City first. Using the blood of the holy dragon to create an ancient curse will cause a huge commotion..."
Richard nodded and was about to say something.
Suddenly.
An indescribably terrifying pressure crossed the void and came over.
At this moment, it was like a giant abyssal beast, hundreds of thousands of feet tall, torn the earth apart. The majestic aura seemed like angry sea waves could destroy everything.
The sky and earth lost their color.
'Bang!'
A giant hand seemed to have flattened the towering roof. Beams, wood, and rocks flew in all directions.
A pitch-black night sky appeared in front of them.
At the top, an old mage with grayish hair and a mage's scepter floated in mid-air.
That pair of cold eyes looked down.
When it saw Jones, it shouted out loud.
"Jones?!
"How is it possible... How can you still be alive?!!"
Jones raised its head, its dark blue eyes looked at the old mage, and said slowly,
"The needle of fate has been pulled back to its original position."
'Roar!'
Such a vast commotion had already attracted the entire city's alert troop.
In the distance, the templar dragoons and angels rushed over quickly.
"Let's go," Richard said in a deep voice.
"President Jones, we need to leave immediately."
Jones waved its hand, and the space in front of them shattered.
A girl with eyes tightly shut, wearing tight-fitting leather armor, and a face that could topple cities appeared out of thin air.
"Ferguson, Richard, take the Third Princess with you. I'll send you off."
Richard's heart skipped a beat.
Third Princess, S-rank mission...
After Jones finished speaking, its body suddenly grew taller and instantly turned into a five-meter-tall giant.
The terrifying aura surged like a mountain collapsing.
It threw a punch.
The space directly exploded.
The old mage's expression changed drastically and instantly disappeared.
The mage's strongest life-saving skill -- Blink.
But the moment the opponent appeared hundreds of meters away.
'Bang!'
A fist directly hit its heart.
'Crack!' The magic shield that had just risen on its body exploded, and a large part of its chest caved in.
Blood spurted out wildly. The arrogant old mage was heavily injured in one blow.
The ultimate boss of the Scarlet Council was so powerful that it could not be described.
After Jones' victory, it did not hesitate and threw another punch.
'Crack!' An irregular spatial crack appeared in front of them.
"Take the Third Princess and leave, quickly!!"
Knowles, a level 19 dwarf, has almost gone crazy.
How could they run at this time?
"President Jones, let's go together..."
Jones said quickly, "My aura has been locked onto by the Templar City's artifact. If I go with you, no one will be able to escape."
As soon as the president finished speaking, it waved its hand and the Third Princess fell into Richard's arms.
"You guys leave first. I have a way to escape..."
At this moment, a system notification sounded in his ear.
[Ding~ You have triggered an emergency -- Escape danger.]
[The Scarlet Council had kidnapped the Third Princess because of their plan to overthrow the Templar City. This had angered the entire Oath of Light faction.]
[The other party would do anything to get the Third Princess back. Please protect the Third Princess and escape from this place.]
[Mission Difficulty: S-rank. The reward for each emergency is uncertain. Please explore on your own.]
'Emergency? S-rank mission??'
Richard was shocked.
This sudden shock only lasted for a few breaths. The situation had changed too quickly.
Ferguson did not give him time to react. It pulled Richard and Knowles into the spatial rift.
The next moment.
The space collapsed.
Jones was the only one left on the spot.
The figure with scars all over its face slowly looked up at the sky. The twelve-winged angel's shadow was so eye-catching at the moment.
A cold smile hung on the corner of its mouth.
"The Templar City...
"Today is the starting point of your collapse!"
Jones' five-meter-tall body suddenly expanded and directly reached 10 meters.
The long robe on its body shattered and revealed scarlet armor.
"Kill!"
With a stomp of its foot, a vast force bombarded the ground, and dozens of spider-web-like cracks appeared.
Powerful force supported its body as it leaped into the sky.
With a punch, the templar dragoons in front of Jones exploded into a bloody mist -- instant kill.
No one could stop Jones...
Richard did not see Jones' crazy massacre in Templar City.
At this moment, he had no time to care about anything else.
Because after he left Templar City, a system notification made him tense up and rang in his ears.
[Ding ~ There are traces of the Third Princess of the Templar City. Lords, please search for her yourself. The King of the Templar City will personally reward you for finding the Third Princess.]
[The King of the Templar City has left a mark on the Third Princess with a divine weapon. Every three hours, her position will be displayed once. It will be displayed ten times.]
[Lords, please follow the position of the Third Princess.]
After Richard had read the notification a few times, Richard's expression became extremely interesting.
'Every three hours, the Third Princess' location would be revealed.'
Now, the Third Princess of the Templar City was in his hands.
Didn't this mean that...? The entire dungeon would hunt him!?!
Finding the Third Princess was an S-rank mission. Anyone would be excited.
Moreover, players and top-tier NPCs would also mobilize.
This process would last for 30 hours, and they would be exposed ten times along the way...
For a moment, Richard felt his scalp go numb.
"Was this a f*cking S-rank emergency?? Could it be that sick?!!"
