In the dungeon game, I subdued all the monsters with my strength.

Jiang Yingbai said, "What do you need me to steal?"

The painter took out a painting from his coat pocket, "Starry Sky."

Jiang Yingbai looked at it carefully for a while, "What's the use of it?"

It is a stone that is darker than ink. If you look closely, the surface is dotted with fluorescence, like the Milky Way. The stone is as its name suggests, a starry sky.

"Communicate with the gods," the artist handed the painting to her, and explained in detail the origin and function of the starry sky. (See Chapter 103 for details)
Jiang Yingbai finally asked the most curious question, "Why do you know so much?"

The painter rubbed his chin with two fingers, "Well..." he grinned, his eyes showing incomprehensible meaning, "I know much more than that."

He said this quite proudly.

Jiang Yingbai, "You like this story very much?"

There is a column on the system forum that introduces the top players. There are many posts in the top ten. Most of them are ordinary players' opinions of the top players and what happened when they met by chance.

The information about the players at the top of the list is almost written by ordinary players. Except for the appearance, personality and some descriptions of abilities, the rest is almost fake.

Jiang Yingbai once stayed in the forum and wanted to study the top players. Unfortunately, she went to play games after reading the top ten. It was so boring that she almost fell asleep watching it.

But she still remembers the painter's information. Players generally think of him as having a decadent temperament, low-key behavior, no organization and gangs, and his actual occupation is unknown.

But for such a low-key person, he suddenly took an extreme path. When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Jiang Yingbai always felt that it was not as simple as a perfect ending.

And it is strange that what the painter does becomes a task.

The painter's expression remained unchanged, and he answered speciously, "Absolutely."

Not only did Jiang Yingbai not accept his painting, he also put the painting in his hand on the table. After getting the information, he turned against him, like a scoundrel, "I still refuse. The risk is too great. I am just a new player."

The most important thing is that such an important thing must be extremely tightly guarded. She doesn't have the courage or the strength to go to the palace to steal things. Doesn't this make it clear that she is going against the king? Jiang Yingbai doesn't want to take sides, no matter if it's the rebels. , or the palace.

The painter stared at her for two seconds, took back the painting in his hand, and had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, then you owe me a favor? I will let you know with a painting when I think about it. You should know how to use the painting."

Very unexpected reply.

Jiang Yingbai fell silent.

The painter said lightly, "Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with my painting. If I wanted to kill you, I would have killed you long ago."

Jiang Yingbai has always been very clear about this. Whether it is the painter or Luopula, the reason for keeping her alive is because of Xia. They want to control Xia, completely. As long as Xia trusts her, she will not die. Xia is Her death-free medal.

Their previous actions, their superficial purposes, and their hidden secrets were all to force Xia to take sides. In fact, Jiang Yingbai's guess was very correct.

The painter's mission plan is to first subtly change the public's view of Lopra, and then cut off Lopra's resistance capital, that is, send players to destroy all the towns that produce black magic crystals, and finally organize people to capture the palace.

Two weeks ago, he met a man who appeared to be a bard but was actually a wanted criminal named Sauron.

Sauron's real name is Hervé Renoir. He was talented since childhood and became famous at a young age. He is one of the few genius magicians. Everyone has shortcomings, and so do geniuses.

Hervé's biggest shortcoming is that he likes to do human experiments. He secretly grows black materia on people. He wants to control alienated people. After a few months, he succeeds and proposes a black materia breeding farm.

The so-called black magic crystal breeding farm exists like Pingyu Town, but most of the farm owners don't know what the king means.After successfully controlling the alienated people, Hervé did not stop his crazy experiments. He thought of a new experiment and named it demonization. This time he still conducted it secretly.

Use black magic crystal to create a special seed, which is called the seed source. Plant the seed source into the human body. As the seed source takes root and sprouts, the experimental body will lose its humanity, like a walking zombie, and likes to eat raw meat. It is called demonization. .

After the seeds germinate, they will automatically absorb the surrounding life force until they bear fruit.

An experimental accident caused the seed source to go out of control, killing thousands of people. Lopra immediately dismissed Hervé from his position, and he suddenly became a wanted criminal. After escaping from the palace, Hervé changed his appearance and name, pretended to be a normal person, got married and had children. .

Every time he travels, he actually does experiments, and he succeeds again. Different ages have different germination speeds. The younger the age, the slower the speed. The older the age, the more likely it is to be exposed. In order to test it, he planted the germ into his son.

Okay, now let’s talk about the painter. After the painter learned all this, he happily roped him into the group. Hervé could only agree under the threat of force.

The painter casts a wide net, selects a few people to control, brings the source of seeds, and slaughters the towns one by one.

Tianhe Town is one of them, and the source is waiting. That is, when Julian checked the town and waited for Xia, he discovered the demonized person and killed him. This attracted the attention of the painter, and he did not avoid alerting the snake. He did intelligence work in advance and understood To Julian's purpose.

The painter was so happy. He was worried that he would not have time to find Xia, but unexpectedly he met him. He chatted with Julian for a while, and the two hit it off and made a plan.

Coincidentally, there happened to be a seed source about to sprout in the town, namely Hervé's son.

The sky is beautiful, but natural disasters come.

Julian sealed off the town as a matter of course.

The painter pretended to be Hervé and asked the germinated seeds to kill people, and then took them away to wait for the results of the seeds. Julian acted as a cover. On the surface, the two framed each other, but in fact they cooperated in killing people and forced Xia to take sides.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the change, because when he got interested, the painter transferred the seed source into the girl's body, but the girl's body was too weak and the seed source was incompatible, so he separated the girl's body and soul into the painting. The painting can make the girl's body and the soul restored to its best condition.

In the end, it evolved into the current situation. No one expected that the woman would take Jiang Yingbai to the square, nor did they expect that she would discover those paintings in less than a day.

But the painter whose plan failed didn't look sad. He probably had other purposes and succeeded.

But she rejected his first request. Could it be the favor she just promised?
This kind of promise, which is similar to painting a cake, is too ridiculous.

……

Jiang Yingbai nodded, "Is it enough to destroy the painting?"

The painter hummed.

Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in my mind.

[Mission: The initial resistance has been completed]

【Rewards have been issued】

Jiang Yingbai blinked, confused. Isn't the painting still in his hand? Does agreeing to the painter count as completion?
Jiang Yingbai asked, "I don't understand at all. What is the use of the girl's mother's painting?"

One communication, two practice, only the portrait of a woman is of no use.

The painter curled his lips and smiled, his obsidian eyes were extremely deep, "You will know later."
