What did you do with the dice?

Damn it, you’re playing tricks again. Wait until I leave the city and see what you can do to me!

Qi Weiya turned her head and took a step forward, but the next moment, as the space at the city gate fluctuated, she saw Rusalka, Ai Li, Phoenix and Hydra, standing side by side, standing between Qi Weiya and the gate, staring at each other.

Rusalka pointed at Qi Weiya and said, "Rewi Alley, the time for revenge has come! As priests, we must master all techniques for using light, right? A slap in the face is also light. Go, give her a couple of Rewi Alley slaps and see if she still loses her temper!"

Rewi Alley:?

Chapter 368 Lu Ping'an

Surrounded by two people and two cats, Qi Weiya didn't panic. Instead, she laughed. She slowly opened her robe and took out a crystal ball and some red sheepskin scrolls. "Haha, Grand Duke Pearl Tears, I've heard of you. You are actually a Paladin, right?"

"Are these your last words?"

Qi Weiya opened the parchment scroll, revealing the dark red magic circle inside. "Have you heard of [Severing Curse]? Ai Li next to you should know it very well."

Ai Li's pupils shrank, and her whole body trembled slightly. Memories of death began to attack her heart: "That was the one in my village..."

"That's right." Qi Weiya activated the magic circle and slowly approached Rusalka. "I've further improved the curse into a controllable spell. If you come into contact with it, you will permanently lose the power of the Holy Light. Even someone with a special blessed constitution like Ai Li can't resist its erosion. If you don't want both of us to suffer, then let me leave and never see you again. How about that?"

Hydra, who had suffered a loss once, and Aerie, who had a psychological trauma, both cautiously took a half step back.

But Phoenix stood there motionless, like a cat that was not afraid of the curse.

As for Rusalka, not only did he not step back, but he took the initiative to take two steps forward, forcing Qi Weiya to stop.

"I have no grudge against you, but for a woman, aren't you afraid of losing your Holy Light?"

Rusalka sighed.

"Alas, to be honest, the passing of Zhu Lei's parents has made me see many things clearly."

Then, he drew out a greatsword from the void, moved instantly with the mysterious steps, and slashed at Qi Weiya.

The tarot cards turned into a huge shield to block Rusalka's slash. The parchment scroll burned, and Qi Weiya did not hesitate to cover his entire body with the blood-red magic circle stored in it.

[System prompt: You already have this negative status, automatically ignoring its lower-level replacement.]

What? You have studied for more than ten years, but your skills are not as good as the true expression of the power of the messenger Theresa Lily. The value of the Messenger of the End is still rising!

The light of the Holy Slash shone from the greatsword, blasting the tarot card blocking the tip of the sword into ashes.

"My experimental results are ineffective on you?! How is this possible?!"

After Rusalka smashed another card with his sword, he glanced at the people around him and laughed, "No more acting, I'm going to start, brothers, follow me!"

Tsk, in that case, the only option is to break through by force!

She glanced roughly at the surrounding encirclement: she had heard about Phoenix, a follower of the Shadow Lady, who was not easy to deal with.

Ai Li, this girl has the blessing of the god Light. Perhaps this improved version of [Curse of Severance] has no effect on her. After all, things related to gods are somewhat difficult to guess.

Who is that black Filin? Her equipment looks like Ashbringer and Sunguard.

Regardless of whether it is a replica or not, she should be a master of Holy Light. Let’s break through from her!

Qi Weiya no longer held back. In an instant, thirty tarot cards flew out from her robe and entangled Rusalka. Those tarot cards turned into magical knights and various magical creatures, surrounding Rusalka. Taking this opportunity, she quickly took out a card and threw it over her head. The cards exploded in the air, forming a bizarre colorful barrier that fell down, and her figure disappeared in it.

Hydra sensed the opponent's breath and was about to break through him, so he instantly deployed a golden barrier to intercept him. However, Qi Weiya raised her hand and activated the Severing Curse again. Under the dark red light, the power of the Holy Light collapsed, and a big hole was eroded in the blink of an eye.

The light on Hydra's body began to flicker again after being entangled by the red curse.

Rusalka saw Hydra get hit again. She opened her mouth and quickly closed it. Luckily, she managed to hold it in. She almost said something auspicious to her sister-in-law: (Oh my god, this curse is the coronavirus. It's not completely immune, and it can stack up repeatedly? If Hydra gets three layers of vulnerability, I might as well just pull her up. Otherwise, the nurse will be under too much pressure.)

Sanita: (I don't know much about Holy Light, but I feel like if this thing can be immune, then you're being a bit dismissive of the "Priority 5" ability. That's the Last Messenger's trump card, and you don't even say it?)

Rusalka immediately read from the rulebook: (What?! The power of Holy Light surges through me, making me immune to disease.)

Even though the holy light failed to make contact again, Hydra was well prepared this time. The Paladin would not be defeated by the same trick. She took out two red crystals from her arms and smashed them heavily on the ground, then quickly raised her shield to block in front of her.

An explosion sounded, and Qi Weiya, who had to hold up the barrier, emerged from it. At the same time, Hydra instantly took out a heavy crossbow, swiped it from his waist, put three magic-breaking crossbow arrows on it, and shot at Qi Weiya without hesitation.

The military industrial wealth of the Grand Duke of Pearl Tears is evident. Each of the three magic-destroying crossbow arrows shot by Hydra is enchanted with wind. Facing such an attack with a market price of 30 gold coins and a total price of 90 gold coins, even a great wizard has to sit up and take it seriously. Qi Weiya was forced to throw away her cloak, from which she took out a tarot card that turned into countless steel blades to deflect the magic-destroying arrows.

At the same time, Phoenix's attack had also arrived, and the deadly black mist pierced Qi Weiya's body in the blink of an eye.

The afterimage dissipated, the black mist completely corroded the small wooden man, and Qi Weiya's body appeared on the other side.

But before she could catch her breath, she was trapped upside down by a golden light shield and could not move. Ai Li took out a white scripture, her whole body shining with light, and she was muttering to herself. Although she had no means of attack, she could still provide some control.

However, the power of the holy light was restrained by Qi Weiya's Severance Curse, and it turned into particles and dissipated in an instant. Facing Phoenix's pursuit, Qi Weiya threw out the Tarot cards again and exploded them, wrapping them in confetti. She raised her hand and sent the cat high into the sky in an instant.

Rusalka: (I'm super, magic raised high, whirlwind staff.)

Qi Weiya knew that she was definitely no match for her opponent, so she didn't want to fight any longer. After delaying for a while to create a gap, she turned around and ran towards the gate. However, Rusalka had already smashed all thirty cards by then, and caught up with her again with the Phantom Step, chopping up one of Qi Weiya's wooden substitutes.

Rusalka: (No, brother. Mages have too many tricks.)

Sanita: (High-level mages are like this. If you don't accept it, don't play. I have to do it. In three seconds, I will teleport over and hit her. 3, 2, 1, come on!)

It's good to have a commander. Rusalka teleported directly with the Phantom Step without thinking. Qi Weiya immediately pinched the cards and wanted to teleport synchronously, but found that the surrounding space was completely blocked.

A pure white pelican flew by, and in Phoenix's hand was a sticky, glowing space-blocking magic ball.

The scene was so déjà vu that Rusalka couldn't help but grumble, "Cat Master Ball? When did it come out?"

Rusalka's sword directly hit Qi Weiya's body. With the 4th ring of Holy Slash activated, Qi Weiya was like an exploding villain base in a game screen, and her whole body exploded with brilliant light of various colors like a fireworks show.

However, the latter was not killed by a single blow. After many props exploded on her body, she survived tenaciously. She activated some magic and turned her body into elemental gas. A gust of wind blew and pushed her to rush towards the door desperately.

However, a rotating red-gold shield passed through the air faster than her. Hydra dispelled the curse on his body, and the holy light condensed again, controlling the shield to cast a scorching light in the air, enveloping Qi Weiya.

The sunlight was extremely hot, like the sun at its peak in the sky. In an instant, it baked the nearby land into wisps of white smoke, and the moisture turned into gas and evaporated.

Under this large-scale indiscriminate attack, Qi Weiya was unable to maintain her gaseous form. Her body returned to its original state, and she took out the last card from her burning robe and threw it out.

This tarot card representing the [God of Death] instantly transformed into a huge black magic circle. With a strong fluctuation of magical power, a black light cannon as thick as a city block directly blasted towards Rusalka.

"I'm super, I'm coming, hide behind me, I'm unlocking the blood!"

He stood in front of the crowd with a shield raised, but the light cannon did not explode on him because a golden barrier blocked everyone's way.

"I've always been grateful for everyone's care, but from now on, I will use this inherited power of hope from the gods, my parents, and those who sacrificed, to do something for everyone! God Light, your body has become the oldest and most resilient shield, keeping the darkness out of the kingdom of God on earth. Thousands of prayers have converged into a city of faith - [Guardian of the Midnight Sun]."

As the light cannon hit the barrier, the pages of the book in Ai Li's hand burned fiercely in the holy fire. When only the last few pages were left in the whole book, this magical bombardment ended with an unwilling self-detonation, ending his short but glorious life.

The golden barrier dissipated, Ai Li took a deep breath, and sure enough, he could do it if he wanted to.

"Haha, we'll meet again. I'll remember you!"

Qi Weiya's wild laughter came from outside the city. She had survived by risking almost all her fortune, and she took advantage of this opportunity to run hundreds of meters away. In the eyes of everyone, she had turned into a small black dot and passed through the city gate.

Rusalka glanced at the [Pearl Tear Time] she could activate: (What a naughty little thing! I'll have her run a kilometer first.)

Sunny Tower: (No, you can save a ring. Snap [*snaps fingers])

Suddenly, more than a dozen rune arrays flashed on the ground of the city gate near the small black dot and on the surrounding walls. They transformed into different elemental attributes and exploded like fireworks.

Rusalka watched the black dot smoke in the air, then it landed heavily on the ground with a tail trail, falling in the gap between shadow and sunlight on the ground in front of the city gate.

Sani Iron Tower: (The long rest is only four hours anyway, so it's a waste to not use the ring position. To ensure you can escape back to the guided detonator smoothly after the battle, I see that the guards here have been transferred. I've placed a dozen or so guard engravings near the city gate. Using the structural improvements of indigenous magic, they have set up delayed triggering.)

Rusalka: (Girls, avoid the mines of Sani Tower, pure mine man.)

Qi Weiya clutched her abdomen tightly, and struggled to wriggle her body a little bit, crawling towards the sunlight that was just out of reach. "Damn it... As long as... As long as I get there..."

She knew that Rusalka's guided bomb was parked not far away, but she still stubbornly wanted to escape from here. All this was because she was holding the last random teleportation item in her arms.

However, this item was affected by Mo Wujue's spatial ritual using the city as a formation, so it could not be used smoothly within the Free City. Forcing it to activate would only cause one to be swept into the spatial turbulence and die suddenly. But as long as the body left the city gate and the influence of the ritual, even a great wizard would not be able to counter a dynamic spatial spell with random effects so quickly.

She didn't know that Sanita had a spell counter, but she didn't have the chance to find out.

A golden sword was nailed into her chest.

Ai Li held the sword with trembling hands, slowly pulled it out, then closed his eyes and prepared to strike again.

"Wait...wait a minute, Miss Ai Li, I was wrong. I really was wrong. I shouldn't have done that back then. I just wanted to conduct research. I really wanted to lift the curse and bring happiness to the villagers. It's just that my methods were a bit extreme, and I didn't anticipate what would happen next."

Seeing that Ai Li hadn't dropped her sword yet, Qi Weiya was overjoyed. She gritted her teeth and apologized repeatedly: "Ms. Ai Li, I have changed for the better. I swear, I swear to God Light! If I do anything that harms the world again, I am willing to bear the pain of being burned by the holy fire and die! Please let me go, I don't want to die, I still have a family, I am really, really sorry..."

Her body moved little by little towards the final distance, 2 meters, 1 meter left, just a little bit, just a little bit!

Snap, a foot stepped on her body.

Rusalka bent down and slapped her, snatching the gem from her stunned hand. "Aili, this move is called a slap. Have you learned it? The master will teach you the ropes, but you have to practice on your own."

He blew away the dust on it and handed it to Ai Li, who was afraid to open her eyes but couldn't help but squinting to peek, and waved it in front of her: "Here, a magnet."

"And if your apology isn't genuine, you'll have to swallow this sword yourself."

He walked up to Qi Weiya, raised his sword, and split the gem in two.

Sanita was so enraged that he almost couldn't breathe. Even the pelican in the air was jolted, as if it had encountered an air current: (Birth! You smashed a guaranteed rare magic item just for a meme!)

Ah this...

Rusalka pretended not to hear.

"You...you actually broke it! Duke Pearl Tears! I curse your line to be extinct!"

"Haha, it seems it's not real. Take my 'Little Elisa Rilang'!"

Rusalka grabbed Ai Li's hand and guided her to chop down the golden sword, piercing Qi Weiya's head.

The latter's eyes glared with anger, and the light in her eyes gradually went out. As a black mist poured into her body, her vitality was absorbed by the Phoenix that I picked up because I thought no one wanted her anyway.

"Aili, she apologized not because she knew she was wrong, she just knew she was going to die. That's it, it's over. Orb of Faith, come to me!"

Rusalka looked at Qi Weiya's body.

A warm breeze blew, and nothing happened.

Unlike the believers who were killed before, nothing emerged from Qi Weiya's body.

Ah? Asshole! She seems to be being disloyal to the gods!

Just as Rusalka was about to curse, his perspective changed and he found that he was teleported into Mo Wujue's void conference room without any immunity.

Mo Wujue held the small ball of faith in his hand and looked at Rusalka with a smile: "Want to talk?"

Rusalka: (Damn, I smell the Riddler, it's disgusting...)

Sanita: (And the smell of gunpowder and war. Although Esterlun's laws are actually abstract dictatorships disguised as order, and so-called defense and logic have nothing to do with the outcome of the trial from the beginning, but thanks to him, I have learned how to break the rules of the God of Contract and Law. Brother, if he doesn't give you this power of faith, we will go to his grave to take the inheritance and build it for him on the spot!)

Rusalka: (...at the same time, I also feel a sense of refreshing.)

Chapter 369 Absolute Neutrality

Among the DND nine-square grid camps, the most bizarre one is the neutral one.

The most representative of the neutral good at the top is the protagonist Yasasi who is often seen in the two-spined newt. This kind of person is too powerful and no one targets him. He is idle and has nothing to do after eating. Therefore, even if he has no sense of responsibility and obligation, he will do some good things. The purpose can be many, perhaps to seek recognition, or perhaps just to enjoy the vanity of this kind of charity.

Although he refuses to follow the commonly accepted rules of the world and his main point is "I saved you just because I want to save you", he doesn't think about creating some fun or hellish jokes when doing good things. He is a born good person.

Neutral evil, with neither faith nor fun, the evil he commits is all in accordance with his instincts, which means he is a born villain, and many times his evil deeds are even unconscious.

Even chaotic evil lunatics, their behavioral logic is just difficult to understand in an ordinary way, but they will still do evil deeds based on "interest". Neutral evil is different. The most typical example is the goblins in the Goblin Slayer worldview. They are evil from birth, and one bullet would not be enough to shoot them one by one.

And there is the most mysterious challenger - absolute neutrality.

As long as you do something good or bad, you can't be called absolutely neutral. In Sanita's opinion, anyone who can stay in the center of the nine-square grid all year round is definitely not a human.

After all, he felt that strictly speaking, he was considered lawful evil both on Earth and here. People's alignment tendencies were often based on their personality and instincts. Unless they experienced major life changes, it was basically difficult to change.

But Rusalka, who had an incredible 5 intelligence, was pure Lawful Good on Earth. But when she ran to another world, she got 524 points and slid directly to Chaotic Good. The abstract demon sleeping in her body awakened.

Well, time travel can be considered a huge life change.

So at this moment, the two of them were facing such an absolutely neutral person who was not a human being in any way - because he was the chief believer of the God of Contract and Law, and his camp was endorsed by the gods. Unless he became the messenger of the end like Theresa, he probably would not deviate.

Therefore, from the moment he arrived in Esterlun, Sanitta had never considered exploiting legal loopholes. If the God of Contracts and Laws truly was a god who prioritized order, how could He be "absolutely neutral"? His alignment must be "lawful neutral."

But since it is not, it means that what He cares about is not the "order" understood by humans, but a kind of "non-lawful order" at the divine level. It must not even be a clear rule that people can follow. The divine judgment and the exile system have proved that: there is no benefit in obeying the laws here; there is no harm in being separated from the law.

Moreover, the fact that it can be offset by the power of "Elune, the Goddess of Nature" is enough to prove that "contract and law" is not actually the power of "the God of Contract and Law". Although this sounds outrageous, when you think that the God of "truth" may actually be the God of "lies and disguises", it seems that there is nothing to be unacceptable.

Anyway, I don't understand where the Seven Sins next door are who guarded the devil's seal with all their heart, left the key to Rusalka, and blew up a lot of rebels and devil believers. He now changed his name to Seven Goodness, and Sanitieta thinks it's OK.

The Wolf King captured a werewolf in broad daylight. Why don't you believe he's a hunter? Is it just because a prophet said he could be a wolf? That's ridiculous!

However, if the power of the God of Contracts and Laws is not to establish contracts and legal order, this is very intriguing. It means that His rules may really contain some hidden mines that normal logic cannot think of, waiting to be used by believers to deceive people one day - for example, the wizard of the God of War can be accompanied by two servants, but these two servants are not restricted from bringing wizards and dead people. Yu Shang directly brought two ancestors. If Rushaka was not so shameless, who could do it than Yu Shang?

Hidden mines are the most terrifying trump cards in the hands of gods who cannot directly interfere with reality. Sani Tieta thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

Tsk, it really is a bit too far-fetched to try to understand God with human brains and logic.
