Standing to the side, Lu Ming watched this scene with a speechless expression, seemingly unable to bear it any longer. Yusaha glared at him, signaling him not to say anything about the ring.
In order to survive, Lu Ming had no choice but to board Yusaha's pirate ship and keep the matter a secret.
"The crab is dead. Next, it'll be that lone Black Knight, right?" Dex asked the group eagerly as soon as he was dug out.
"Hmm. The Black Knight's equipment is all top-notch! If we get it, our equipment can be upgraded too!" To be honest, Lu Ming had been eyeing the Black Knight and Silver Knight's armor for a long time. Before he transmigrated, he had spent a long time fighting in the royal city of Irithyll for that set of Silver Knight armor. But he was always missing a piece.
And now... he refuses to believe that the armor he'd taken from the corpse would be missing a head!
Seeing that Lu Ming was somewhat obsessed with the Black Knight's equipment, Yusaha decided it was best not to compete with him. After all, he was going to duel Viscount Hatu tomorrow, and it would indeed be inappropriate not to have a decent set of armor.
"Let's go!" Since he no longer needed to be a tank and could happily hide in the back and shoot arrows, Dex was very excited and walked ahead, leading the way towards where the Black Knight was.
Seeing him take the lead and even prepare his bow and arrows, Lu Ming and the others couldn't help but smile helplessly. They followed him step by step towards the location of the Silver Knight.
"Have you dealt with those crabs?" As soon as Lu Ming and his group stepped into the area where the Black Knight was, they heard a gruff voice say to them, "Is it my turn now?"
That gruff voice naturally belonged to the Black Knight. However, its opening startled Lu Ming and the others.
"Hasn't he turned into a zombie yet?" Lu Ming looked at the Black Knight with great caution and drew out the Sage's Candlestick, wary of a possible sudden attack from the Black Knight.
"Since that's the case, then let's fight!" The Black Knight walked up a staircase from a distance, looking at the cautious Lu Ming and the others. He chuckled, tapped his shield with his greatsword, and said, "I, the Black Knight Meyer, swear here that for Lord Gwyn, you will all be killed by me!"
Having said that, it stomped the ground forcefully and rushed towards Lu Ming and the others like a gust of wind. Raising its greatsword, it slashed at them.
"Clang!!" Yusaha forcibly blocked the Black Knight's slash with the Ancient Knight's Great Shield, but she herself was also forced to kneel down due to the Black Knight's power, and struggled to block the Silver Knight's Greatsword!
"Seed Machine Gun!!" "Seed Machine Gun!" Upon seeing this, Lu Ming and Lily immediately unleashed the Seed Machine Gun together, forcing the Black Knight back.
At that moment, Dex quickly pulled Yusahar to the back and fired several arrows at the Black Knight, aiming them straight for his eyes.
Unfortunately, the Black Knight easily blocked all the seeds and arrows with his shield.
Moreover, the level 6 seed machine gun, which can shatter the hard shell of a hairy crab and the shield of the Dark Hand of the Soul Eater, cannot even leave a scratch on the Black Knight's shield!
Lu Ming, whose mana was nearly depleted, hurriedly drank a bottle of elemental ash after the seed machine gun ended. But this gave the Black Knight an opportunity.
"Electric Spark!" The Black Knight charged forward, raised his massive greatsword, and slammed it heavily onto the ground. Golden bolts of lightning struck everyone, including Lu Ming, leaving them numb with shock.
"Damn it! I'm paralyzed!" Lu Ming collapsed to the ground, unable to control his body, realizing he was under a spell. The others, except for Dex, also experienced intermittent flashes of electricity, just like Lu Ming. Clearly, they, like Lu Ming, were paralyzed!
"Black Rabbit! Watch out for the arrows!" Dex, the only one unaffected, gritted his teeth and roared at the Black Knight when he saw that everyone was unable to stand up for the time being. He then fired more than a dozen arrows in succession. Each arrow was aimed directly at the eye hole in the Black Knight's helmet, forcing the Black Knight to retreat and use his shield to block.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yu'er Sika gritted her teeth and removed the paralysis from everyone, restoring their fighting ability so they wouldn't continue lying on the ground watching the show.
However, none of Lu Ming and the others expected that Dex's sarcastic remark about the "black rabbit" would enrage the Black Knight!
"Who gave you permission to call me that?! You dead rabbit!!" the Black Knight roared, ignoring Lu Ming and the others, and charged heavily towards the long-eared elf Dex.
"You bastard!! How dare you call me a rabbit!?" The Black Knight's retort enraged Dex. He shouted as he retreated, firing a barrage of arrows at the Black Knight.
The two of them were having a great time fighting, but Lu Ming and the other three were completely dumbfounded!
Although the two horns on the helmet have led many players to jokingly call the Silver Knight and Black Knight "rabbits," is it really necessary to get this angry?
It's likely that he was mocked by the witches of Izalith during the era of dragon hunting, leaving him with deep psychological trauma!
As for Dex, it's entirely because 'rabbit' is an insult used by other races to insult the elves, much like calling them men or women—both are considered dirty jobs for sought-after slaves.
"What do we do?" Looking at Dex, who was flying a kite, and the Black Knight, who was playing with a kite, Yusaha asked Lu Ming, who was just as dumbfounded as she was.
"Um..." Seeing how much fun Dex and the Black Knight were having, Lu Ming thought for a moment and decided to go and collect the equipment first: "Let's loot this place first, and then we'll worry about the two of them."
So, Lu Ming and his three companions first ransacked the building where the Black Knight was located.
As a result, they found a set of mercenary equipment, a pair of mercenary swords, and a strange ember of flame.
"Farran's Embers: The embers used by the Farran Immortals, possessing immense power that can imbue weapons forged from its flames with special abilities."
Meanwhile, Dex and the Black Knight were still having a great time.
However, Lu Ming didn't want them to continue like this.
He then took the Sage's Candlestick, tiptoed up behind the Black Knight, grabbed the neck guard of the Black Knight's armor, and with a powerful leap, inserted the Sage's Candlestick into the gap in the Black Knight's armor!
The Black Knight screamed in pain, hurriedly threw away his greatsword, grabbed Lu Ming, and slammed him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw. Then he pulled the Sage's Candlestick out of his neck.
Although Lu Ming was thrown over the shoulder, he did not lose his ability to fight. So, after being thrown to the ground, he immediately hit the Black Knight with a fine snow, freezing its armor.
Dexter, who was not far away, also seized the opportunity and shot an arrow that hit the Black Knight right in the eye, causing it to scream in agony.
Finally, Yorshka raised her storyteller's staff and slammed it down heavily on the Black Knight's head.
In a one-on-one fight, Lu Ming and his group of five might not be able to defeat the Black Knight even if one of them were alone, but since there were five of them, the poor Black Knight was defeated and fell to his knees.
-----------------------------------
Honestly, because the author got so far into the story, they've forgotten whether this character is a Black Knight or a Silver Knight. All I remember is the spy, quietly walking over, a backstab, then a shield parry, and that's it—the bastard who didn't give me anything.
Chapter 18 - Dungeon [The Road of Sacrifices] Part 4
Because the cold air from the fine snow had frozen the Black Knight's armor, Lu Ming had to forcibly drag it to the campfire so that the warmth of the fire could melt the ice off the armor.
However, since he had his phone, Lu Ming didn't need to manually remove the armor from the Black Knight's corpse. He could simply put it in his inventory.
However, to Lu Ming's dismay, although the greatsword and shield were stolen by the usually cute and upright Nezha spirit!
In response, Lu Ming could only glare fiercely at Yusaha, who had started this unhealthy trend. In return, he received a kiss from Yusaha and the words, "Anyway, you can't lift it, so you might as well give it to him," as well as a hard pinch from Lily.
“Next, only the old mage Crystal Elder remains. However, we may encounter some wandering spirit mages along the way. They might be a bit more difficult to deal with.” Standing on the stairs of the building leading to the Crystal Elder’s location, Lu Ming rubbed the soft flesh on his waist as he spoke to Yusaha and the others.
What can they do?
"Things like the Soul Gun."
"What the hell?"
"Never mind what it is, just be careful." Lu Ming waved his hand and went inside. But soon Lu Ming ran out again, and behind him was a blue glowing cone.
With a swift and precise turn, Lu Ming narrowly dodged the attack of the Soul Spear.
Seeing Lu Ming covered in sweat and looking panicked, Yusaha couldn't help but laugh. The others quickly joined in the laughter, making Lu Ming blush slightly.
As the saying goes, even a clay figure has a bit of temper!
Well said. His non-existent dignity was destroyed by this damned wandering ghost mage's soul spear. How could Lu Ming tolerate this?
Amidst Yusaha and the others' laughter, Lu Ming gradually grew increasingly embarrassed and angry.
Somewhat angry, he acted decisively, unleashing a barrage of seed machine gun fire into the building, sending the wandering mages inside fleeing in terror. They were quickly shot down and killed without warning.
Perhaps because they saw Lu Ming was angry, Yusaha and the others immediately suppressed their laughter and followed him into the construction site. They began helping him clear out the wandering spirits and spirit mages. Along the way, they obtained quite a few spears and Viheim's magic staffs.
Because the storyteller's staff looked too ugly, after defeating the first Behem magic staff, Yulshka casually threw it away and replaced it with a Behem magic staff with similar attributes.
A few minutes later, the group had wiped out all the wandering spirits and spirit mages inside the building. Looking at the road leading directly to the location of the Crystal Elder, Lu Ming chose to turn back.
He led Yusahar and the others through a broken wall, from the outside hillside to the upper level of the building.
Here, they found a large room filled with scrolls about soul magic. However, neither Lu Ming nor Yusaha could understand the text on these scrolls.
But what delighted Yusahar was that, thanks to the phone's inventory, she could learn the magic on these scrolls and absorb all the principles of that magic into her mind.
But for some reason, when Lu Ming tried to do this, he could only learn the Farron Short Arrow and Farron Quicksword; all others were due to insufficient permissions. This frustrated Lu Ming greatly.
Moreover, he needs a magic wand to cast these two soul spells, unlike Yusahar who can cast them bare-handed. It seems that these two weak spells consume roughly the same amount of mana as Seed Gun and Fine Snow, yet their power is far inferior.
"Damn it! I finally found two spells, and they're such terrible stuff!" Frustrated, Lu Ming complained. Then, he jumped down a half-broken staircase in a corner of the room to a lower level, leading to a room near the Crystal Elder.
Seeing Lu Ming go downstairs, Yusaha hurriedly put all the magic scrolls into his phone and followed Lu Ming downstairs.
Since Lu Ming and Yusaha had gone down, Lily and You'er Sika followed suit. However, Dex, who was just like Nezha, started acting up again.
"Get down!"
"I do not!"
"Get down here!"
"I do not want!"
Looking at Dex, who had been flying kites with the Black Knight a moment ago but now looked resentful, Lu Ming and the others all turned pale, and had the idea of tearing this bastard to pieces.
Finally, after shouting for several minutes, Lu Ming's metallic voice made Dex lose his balance and fall down.
"Why are you doing this to me..." Dex cried as he followed Lu Ming and Yusaha and the others who were rubbing their ears, looking resentfully at these unreasonable guys.
Perhaps it was Dexter's resentful gaze that made everyone uncomfortable, so they stopped and turned around to glare at Dexter.
"Dex, you're such a big, strong guy, why are you afraid of heights?" Lu Ming asked, frowning, looking at Dex who was crying, looking resentful, and not at all like himself.
"I fell from a 50-meter-high tree when I was a child, so I'm afraid of heights now..."
"Uh... a fifty-meter-tall tree? Who are you kidding! Fifty meters tall is more than ten stories high! How did you even get up there!?"
"Of course we climbed up!"
"..." Lu Ming looked at Dex with a speechless expression, imagining a strong, handsome elf climbing up a tall tree that was about eleven or twelve stories high in a few moments, then jumping around on it triumphantly, before accidentally falling off the tree... with a thud.
"Sigh~! How pitiful." For some reason, Lily suddenly sighed.
This made Lu Ming a little embarrassed to continue thinking about it. However, Lu Ming was certain that Dexter's fear of heights was basically something he had brought upon himself. He wondered what the elf below the tree would think after catching him and seeing that he had caught such a brat. Or perhaps, just like Lu Ming imagined, he would just *splat*...
"Sigh! Let's go." Not wanting to think about it anymore, Lu Ming led Yusaha and the others forward. He decided to ignore Dex.
Soon, under Dex's resentful gaze, they arrived at an empty place. A scene of ruins!
"Who are you, and how dare you come to the Fran Fortress?" Just as Lu Ming and the others stepped into the ruins, an old man's voice suddenly rang in their ears.
"Uh..." Lu Ming didn't know how to answer for a moment when asked that question.
Yul Sica, however, being young and fearless, shouted, "We are Miracaesar's people, and we've come to defeat you!"
"Hehehe~! You have a lot of courage, little guy. But I am the Crystal Elder! You don't have the strength to challenge me!" After a burst of laughter, the Crystal Elder suddenly appeared some distance away from Lu Ming and the others, holding a large crystal ball.
The Crystal Elder was a gigantic mage dressed in tattered magic robes and an unimaginably large hat.
Before they even made a move, Yusaha and Yulshka, two true magicians, sensed a despairing magical power emanating from the Crystal Elder.
"Grand Magister!!" Yusaha and Yulshka couldn't help but exclaim in shock. This startled Lily and Dex, who were the only ones besides Lu Ming and the Crystal Elder.
Keep in mind that there are only six ranks of mages, and archmages are powerful beings at the fifth rank. They are simply incomparable to these magic apprentices!
"Long time no see, Elder Crystal!" Out of politeness and to avoid disturbing Elder Crystal's thoughts, Lu Ming performed the Undead Squad salute.
"This etiquette... are you also a member of the Undead Legion?" Just as Lu Ming had thought, the Crystal Elder asked in surprise upon seeing Lu Ming's Undead Legion etiquette.
"I am Lu Ming from Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, a former member of the Undead Legion! I've come here to defeat Aldrich of the Cathedral of the Deep! And also to undergo your trial," Lu Ming said, making up a story with a straight face.
