The Death List Novel - Chapter 252
Chapter 252 Representation
Oddo lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly. After a while, he raised his head again. Although his face was still a little flushed, his eyes had already regained their clarity.
“You already knew there was an alien hidden there?” Oddo asked calmly.
“I know there’s a trap there, but I don’t know if it’s an alien!” Qin Lun smiled and said. He could tell that Oddo’s fighting spirit had disappeared. He immediately put away his aggressive and provocative attitude.
‘”I know that giving up on geography is one of the reasons why I will fail in the end! From the comparison of our professions, I always thought that I had a better chance of winning. But the reality is that I used three high-grade scrolls in a row and almost used up all my trump cards. You still beat me like a game!”
‘”The Dark Gold Staff in my hand is very important to me, but I don’t feel bad. I lost this battle convincingly. However, before I give up the invitation, can you tell me where I lost?” Oddo said with a complicated expression and a trace of confusion.
Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help but laugh. He shook his head indifferently, “I’m not your rookie captain, so I’m not obliged to guide you! Go back and tell your captain about the battle, and he’ll tell you why!”
“Perhaps you’re right, but my Guild Leader didn’t personally witness the battle. I’d like to hear your explanation!” ‘”This is a jug of walnut wine that can recover life and energy at the same time. Since I’ve lost, this thing is useless to me. I’ll use it to exchange for your advice!” Oddo thought for a moment before reaching into his arms and pulling out a small flatted jug, “This is a jug of walnut wine that can recover life and energy at the same time.”
A trace of helplessness appeared on Qin Lun’s face. He knew that he had to accept the deal. At the same time, he also understood how much of a difference in resources existed between him and the rookie apostles of those large guilds.
Take the rookie apostle in front of him as an example. The summoner first cast an invisible spell on the alien. This invisibility spell was extremely high-level. Even the Heavenly Spiritual Eye could not detect any traces of it. However, the detected halo sensed a trace of an abnormal aura.
This kind of invisible magic was obviously not something that beginner apostles could grasp. It should be a high-grade magic scroll. Then, he used a defensive scroll that could block even the bullets fired by a legendary firearm, and then the Flame Dragon Bullet, a fire-type magic that was as high as rank eight.
He threw up the high-grade magic scroll, just like throwing a cabbage. Moreover, Qin Lun estimated that this wasn’t all the summoner’s trump cards. He should also have other high-grade scrolls. However, the Alien was already dead. He felt that even if he took out those scrolls, he would not be able to defeat him. That was why he gave up the battle.
Qin Lun boasted that he had a small fortune, so he was well prepared. However, it was such an internal selection contest, yet they actually encountered such a rich and handsome local tycoon. They couldn’t help but feel a little nervous in their hearts, and even their confidence in winning the urban hegemony battle was slightly shaken.
The two parties replenished the soul contract with the jug of walnut wine. Qin Lun muttered to himself, “Summoner is a panacea profession. The focus of the profession is mainly determined by the summoning items it possesses. Being able to control so many summoning items in a battle without any difficulty proves that you are a genius summoner.”
However … your understanding of the combat profession is too superficial, and your grasp of the battle rhythm is too poor. Didn’t you ask me why I knew you were a rookie on a large team? This was because only the rookies and apostles who had been in the guild could form such a one-sided concept of combat profession.
You simply gave up control of the terrain and used the Aliens to set up traps. Obviously, you want to use the Aliens’ close combat ability to deal a fatal blow to me. But the question is, who told you that archers can’t have exquisite melee martial skills? Who told you that I would definitely not be able to detect the invisible trap? ”
Oddo was silent for a while before asking hesitantly, “But you climbed to the top of the stone pillar, and your speed is so fast that close combat is inevitable. I can’t think of any other way to win except to set a trap with an alien form. Even if I use magic scrolls to attack you, the number of scrolls is limited …”
“It’s not that you didn’t expect it, it’s that you didn’t think in that direction!” Qin Lun shook his head indifferently. “Facing a cautious opponent like me, it’s impossible for you to win quickly! If you want to win, you can’t fight. It doesn’t matter what I do. The key is that you understand what you can’t do!”
You know in your heart the importance of keeping a distance between summoners and your opponents, but you still managed to summon all the Black Scaled Beasts back to your side. “It’s a big mistake for you to give up your good location so easily and use traps to play tricks on me!”
“Then what should I do?” Oddo asked softly, a little curious.
“You should play hide-and-seek with me. As long as you can drag it out, it counts as long as you can!” Qin Lun’s eyes revealed a hint of cunning. “You have so many Black Scaled Beasts, let them spread out. Each stone pillar climbs up one. What do you think will happen?”
“Ah?” Oddo stared blankly at Qin Lun.
“In this way, you will be able to test my melee combat ability first. If my melee combat ability is not high and the Black Scaled Beast is causing me to be in a mess, then even if the Alien does not need to be invisible and there are two Aliens present, you will still have a firm chance of winning!” Qin Lun chuckled.
‘”If my melee combat ability is very strong, then you’ll have to fight with me. You have so many magic scrolls, use the Black Scaled Beast to control me, hide yourself in the dark, and give me a deal from time to time … Even if I end up eliminating all the Black Scaled Beasts, even if I don’t have all the injuries on my body, I’ve already used my trump cards. You still have two Aliens in your hands, so it’s hard to tell whether you win or lose!”
“But if you don’t get close to the stone pillar occupied by the Black Scaled Beast, then we won’t always drag you down … Oh, no, I can use more than twenty Black Scaled Beasts to push you forward in the shape of waves. Sooner or later, I’ll force you into a dead end!” Halfway through Oddo’s words, he came to his senses. “So, I lost because I didn’t think too much about fighting on my own?”
“This has something to do with combat experience, but it’s not the root cause!” Qin Lun sighed and continued, “As I said, the root cause of your defeat lies in your professional understanding and the rhythm of the battle. What do you think is the most important thing in a one-on-one duel like ours?”
“Observing your opponent is the most important!” Oddo said after pondering for a moment.
“En, not bad, you are a Summoner. Without a doubt, the appearance of more than twenty Black Scaled Beasts proves this!” Qin Lun said indifferently, “Then what do you think I do?”
“I originally thought that you were a pure archer, but now it seems that you should have also mastered close combat skills. You should be a spear warrior who combines distance and proximity, right?” Oddo said with some uncertainty.
“Haha, you’ve finished a duel, but you still haven’t seen my combat profession clearly. Of course, part of the reason is that you made me too relaxed and didn’t display all of my abilities. However, it can also prove that you don’t know much about other professions.”
Qin Lun smiled and said, “Think about it, the direct reason you failed was because I saw through the trap. Under what circumstances would an elementary apostle see through such a high level of invisible magic!”
Oddo muttered to himself, slowly widening his eyes and exclaiming, “In a situation where professions oppose each other … restrain invisibility, see through traps, and have such high shooting skills and close-range martial skills … You’re a hunter!”
“Then … I can’t even force out your summoned beast!” Oddo looked very depressed.
If Qin Lun’s previous analysis made him feel that this failure was just a mistake in strategy, then he had finally lost all confidence in winning. Obviously, if Qin Lun had another summoned beast, even if his strategy was correct, the remaining two Aliens would still be unable to avoid the fate of failure against Qin Lun, who was carrying the summoned beast.
‘”You misjudged my combat profession when you first started. After that, you retracted your defense and gave up on the most important probes in the early stages. You fell into my combat rhythm. Naturally, you will be doomed to lose!” After Qin Lun finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and said, “It’s getting late. Can we complete the transaction now?”
Although he was forced to point out the main flaws to his opponent, Qin Lun was unwilling to say anything else. Actually, Qin Lun knew that this summoner’s talent was very strong, lacking only experience and thought.
The ability of a Summoner was based on the quantity and quality of the summoned items. This Summoner had the help of a large guild, so there was no shortage of summoned items. When they grew up in the future, they would be extremely terrifying. In the initial stage, losing to an opponent like him would be a good training. Perhaps this was the real reason why his new leader had let him participate in the urban hegemony war.
“Oh, one last question!” Oddo hesitated for a moment before asking, “Did you recognize the Dark Gold Staff you used to provoke me to use as a bargaining chip?”
“Haha, not bad, I do recognize this Adith cane. In my first mission world, I once obtained a hexagonal prism shield. The apostle who traded the shield with me took out this dark gold wand. Qin Lun smiled and nodded his head. “I remember that it can use magical energy to replicate summoned items below the Intermediate level. Your two Aliens and so many Black Scaled Beasts should also have its own merits!”
“You obtained that hexagonal prism shield in the first quest world?” Oddo’s pupils constricted and he fell silent. Slowly, an invitation letter carved with a green tornado appeared in front of him. At the same time, the Adith short staff in his hand and the flat jug containing walnut wine floated in the air.
However, before his figure completely faded away, the Summoner raised his head and shouted to Qin Lun, “My name is Oddo. If you haven’t joined any other large guilds, you can come to Tian Fu to find me. I will introduce our new Guild Leader to you. I believe that with your ability, you should receive at least the same treatment as my main force!”
“I will think about it carefully!” Qin Lun was slightly stunned. He smiled and waved his hand. Then, he caught the three items falling from the sky.
As soon as Oddo’s invitation entered Qin Lun’s palm, it merged into his body and slowly coincided with the other invitation bound by the Apostle Soul Seal. The death list also sounded with the notification of the shattered starry sky.
“Apostle 70053, you have obtained the representation of Apostle City 07! After half a day of rest, you will be teleported directly into Atlantis through the Law Seal in the invitation letter. Please make preparations before that!”
