Just as they entered the fourth floor... the Blood Demon Girl silently tugged at his sleeve and led him to a room in the distance.
Just then, a loud argument, delivered in a thick Letanian accent, suddenly came from the room next door.
"He really killed everyone at the banquet? Just for his... show?"
"I told you we shouldn't have let Ahrendts get involved in our plans. After meeting that Scarlet Troupe, he's been a madman!"
“Don’t say that, Andreas. At least he does have some knowledge of the Great King’s magic, and besides, I think those artists are quite good…”
"Ha, I think you're not far from going crazy yourself!"
"It triggered the effect so quickly?"
Li Ji didn't expect the first opportunity to be an unexpected encounter, which just happened to trigger the Blood Demon Girl's joining the team.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward and pushed open the door.
But there was no one behind the door, only a broken long staff lying on the ground.
"Aha!": Deployment cost of all friendly units -3, attack, defense, and health +5%, allowing exploration to lead to different outcomes.
[What is this, atonement?]
[Could this Blood Demon really be a genius?]
[But the results... still don't outweigh the drawbacks; we need to work harder.]
"This is great! Now the negative effects of the scapegoat scarf are gone!"
But just when the raven was finally being suppressed by the scapegoat scarf...
Another door suddenly appeared in the room.
In the dimly lit room, you see a young man sitting alone at a desk, intently writing something with a quill pen dipped in strangely colored ink, in the flickering candlelight.
While the other spectators were unaware of what had happened, one person outside was completely devastated.
When Lanca saw the illusion of "confusion" and the first gathering of followers, he could only comfort himself with the idea of "luck" and the law of conservation of Europoid energy.
But once this "revenge drama" started, she completely lost her composure.
"?"
At that moment, she wished that sentence wasn't photoshopped—"The lifespan of the European sturgeon is extremely short."
Damn it, isn't this an Asian team?
Who exactly is the "European"?
Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Revenge Drama
"An unexpected visitor..."
The young man used his blue quill pen to write the last paragraph, then slightly lifted his round glasses from the side, looking thoughtfully at the "Enlightenment" that Li Ji had just picked up and the doll he was carrying behind him.
"All the destinations converge into one line... which is quite unexpected."
As soon as he finished speaking, the quill pen in the other person's hand suddenly burst into flames. Flames and smoke quickly rose up, and the young man's figure disappeared into the flames. A group of madmen who had suddenly appeared surrounded you.
Only the screams of the madmen and the murmurs of the young people remained in the room:
"I want to know your motivation, what made you pick up these plays and wander around the castle... and what you would do in this situation?"
An endless darkness surged from the firelight, engulfing Li Ji and his men.
[ISW-SP Observation]
"No, the distance wasn't enough just now... He was on guard against me, and he activated his Originium Arts the instant I got close!"
Shu also clenched his left hand and shook his head, "If only we could use Originium Arts here too."
"I failed on my end too; the other side is very wary..."
After seeing the playwright disappear, Chongyue also put away his pretense of authority.
According to Li Ji's plan, they intended to capture the playwright on the spot.
But the other party didn't give them that chance at all.
The moment Shu and Chongyue moved, they hid in the firelight.
"The ink has been used, the stage has been set, are you the beginning of the story, or the final curtain of the play...?"
The cracked space gradually appears in the playwright's room.
Also appearing were two enormous puppets blocking the way above and below.
[Another new monster, what effect does it have?]
[It's quite big, and looks rather fierce.]
[What does the number 4 in front of this monster mean? Does it represent four obstacles?]
"I...I've never seen it before either."
Raven only had information on the first three levels; the information on the fourth level was completely unfamiliar to her.
That’s when she discovered…
She used to be able to provide commentary, but now she seems to have become completely useless.
"It's alright, I need to make a judgment based on the situation on the field!"
Raven could only encourage herself with this thought, after all... she really didn't know!
Although it was a new monster that no one had ever seen before, Li Ji remained calm and composed.
For Li Ji right now, a level without restrictions is pure fun, especially... this map has a small crossroads!
Without even a moment's thought, the one who immediately rushed to the center of the crossroads was... the God of War of the Crossroads!
Chongyue and Shu landed simultaneously, launching an attack on the theater assembly together.
"As expected, Shu couldn't squeeze out of the theater assembly's position... It's a four-block operation. Does Gaul have more than ten operators who can block four or increase the block count?"
Although Raven had no intelligence, it still did a good job of explaining, "Ouch! That hit Chongyue and took away almost a third of his health. That must have been over a thousand attack power, plus splash damage... Luckily, there's a millet!"
[No, I think so. Let me check the rankings.]
[Just look at 'Special Talents' programs; I've seen only six in total.]
[Blocks four... The problem is this thing has so much health. Even with a fully charged Chongyue, it took me this long to defeat it. Normally, one monster would fill up the block area.]
[The other monsters are spawning really fast... and some even have damage bars. This level must be really difficult under normal circumstances, right?]
While the Theater Assembler is considered one of the more difficult elite monsters to deal with in the castle, it's still not enough for Chongyue, who now has full attack speed.
With a base defense of 300, no matter how tanky you are, you can't withstand Chongyue's onslaught.
[Sigh, if even this can't stop Chongyue, then there's no point in looking at the crossroads of Chongyue anymore. A short nap and we'll wake up to another victory.]
[It's a pity there wasn't the Syracusan fury; that would have been even more satisfying... But speaking of which, is that stuff really edible?]
[I didn't even notice until you pointed it out... No wonder it's called the wrath of Syracuse; is chocolate macaroni even edible?]
[It feels like it would be better to soak the croissants in Chinese soy milk.]
[? ? ? ]
[Fine, fine, you'll do it this way, right? Just you wait until I trace you down the internet!]
[Can we give him 360? This is too overpowered.]
The moment Chongyue stepped onto the field, he essentially decided the final outcome of the battle. The chat was already buzzing with discussion about what food combinations could break down the Gauls.
Most viewers are still quite confident in Li Ji's current state of being an ultimate mastermind.
Of course, most of these people... must be people other than Lancao and some of the high-ranking officials in Gaul.
……
Arashi is going crazy right now.
Adding to the unfriendly expression on Antoinette's face, even Arashi could sense that Antoinette's face was almost dripping with gloom.
"Da da da, da da da..."
Antoinette's tapping of his watch became increasingly rapid, which gave Arashiko an even bigger headache.
According to Antoinette's usual practice, if he taps at a normal pace, it means he is still thinking and his emotions are still relatively stable.
But once it reaches this high frequency... it means that Antoinette is already getting a little annoyed.
Lancao suddenly couldn't remember when she last heard this frequency of tapping.
Three years ago, or five years ago?
She used to not quite understand why people who played anime-style mobile games hated the Seals so much, especially since some of her teammates would even "slaughter" the Seals on various forums.
*Gallic profanity*.
Now she completely understands why these kinds of people are called seals...
