But now the nature of the matter has changed. Is her sacrifice really just a tool to continue this tragic cycle as Carl said?
She turned to look at Chris, hoping for encouragement.
Chris was obviously absent-minded at this moment. Her face was pale, her legs were tightly together, and her body was trembling slightly.
Sylvie could read intense fear and anxiety in her eyes.
This had never happened since they met.
The collapse of faith is more terrifying than encountering a strong enemy. When you are hesitant in your heart, it is unknown how much fighting power you can still exert.
The entire team of brave men has reached the bottom at this moment.
Carl saw everything and was ecstatic. He felt that 90% of his plan had been completed.
He first demonstrated his unrivaled strength, making the heroes willing to listen to his reasoning.
Then, he used words to seduce her and make her waver in her beliefs.
Create another confrontation between the team members and make them distrust each other.
Now, there is only one step left to survive temporarily.
Karl raised his hand, and his fingers drew an arc in the air as if they had magic power: "Xylvie, you have enough time to think and then become my companion."
Will was just about to tell Sylvie not to be bewitched.
Suddenly I found that my pronunciation became unclear.
His eyes widened, and he raised his hand to touch his mouth in shock, only to feel a foreign object in his mouth. He hurriedly reached in with his fingers and dug out a round gem.
This scene made Sylvie's face turn pale instantly.
Carl's pupils were cold. "I hate to hear meaningless and stupid words, Prince of the Empire. I allow you to defeat me with your thinking, not with those stupid words used to exploit ordinary people. If you speak meaningless words again, I will take away your right to speak."
Will's face was pale without a trace of blood, and he was trembling slightly as he held the gem.
He didn't feel anything unusual at all as the gem was stuffed in his mouth.
If Carl really wanted to kill him, it would be easy.
This fear of the unknown chilled Will's heart.
Seeing Will's embarrassment, Sylvie felt even more confused.
"I firmly believe that what this world lacks is not power, but ideas." Carl looked at Sylvie and said expectantly, "I will wait for you here until you figure out your answer and defeat me with your ideas."
When Sylvie heard that Karl allowed them to leave, she felt extremely complicated for a moment.
She looked at Karl’s ferocious face like a black dragon: “Why?”
Carl smiled: "Because I want to see a world where all intelligent creatures can be happy."
Sylvie was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Will and saw that he looked pale and serious.
Chris wasn't in good condition either. She hung her head and looked very depressed.
Sylvie took a deep breath and looked up at Karl.
She wanted to say something, but her lips moved but no sound came out.
Karl was too strong and unfathomable, and she saw no possibility of winning.
Karl's words gave her a glimmer of hope that she could defeat him in another way.
"Let's go." Sylvie finally broke the silence and said to Will and Chris beside her.
The two of them didn't want to stay in this suffocating place any longer.
The three began to look at Carl warily and retreated cautiously.
Carl sat on the throne. With his sharp hearing, he was sure that the footsteps of the three people were getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared outside the castle.
At this moment, the tension in his heart finally relaxed.
His body seemed to have lost all its strength, and he went limp, falling heavily onto the throne.
A feeling of relief washed over me.
“Finally survived!”
Carl almost cried for joy. During the confrontation with the three people just now, he remained calm on the surface, but he was extremely nervous inside.
If these three people attacked him, they would definitely see through his paper tiger nature in a second.
My legs had already gone weak, but luckily I was sitting the whole time so no one noticed.
After Karl rested for a while, he calmed down and said silently in his heart: "Time stop."
Time around me did not stop.
"Sure enough."
Carl was not surprised by this. His time stop needed an object to be activated, just like those movies must have a heroine.
His "time stop" is not some kind of system plug-in.
Born from its soul, it is integrated into the power system of this world.
Just now, after he put Chris Fried Rice back into the gem, the time-stop range increased from 100 meters to 110 meters.
He could vaguely feel that if he wanted to increase his strength, he had to comply with the power-enhancing rules of this world.
For various women, recreate scenes from the movie.
Every time you stir-fry something or use a new move, your "time stop" area will be strengthened by one point.
Chapter 8 A bold idea
In the dense forest outside the Dragon Castle, night has fallen, the bright moon hangs in the sky, and the stars decorate the night sky.
In the forest, a blazing bonfire dances in the night.
Sylvie's eyes drifted towards the tent not far away from her. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but shout towards the tent:
"Chris, do you need help?"
There was silence in the tent. After a long while, Chris's weak voice came from inside:
"No...it's okay, it's just a minor injury, I can treat it myself."
After hearing this, Sylvie frowned with a complicated expression.
Chris went into the tent immediately after returning to the camp, which made her feel unusual, as if something was being hidden from her.
In the light of the campfire, Will came over with a pot of steaming soup and bread.
"Sylvie, eat some food." Will called softly and handed her the food in his hand.
"I..." Sylvie was not in the mood to eat now. She looked up and saw Will's concerned eyes.
She couldn't bear to refuse.
"Thank you, Will." Sylvie took the bread and tried hard to force a smile.
Will also sat down beside her, and the two of them ate in silence. The atmosphere was very depressing, with only the crackling of the campfire as the only sound.
Will opened his mouth several times to speak, but seemed to have no idea what to say.
After they finished eating, he managed to utter: "I will be a good emperor."
Sylvie looked at his handsome and serious expression, and Karl's words flashed through her mind. All this was just a sad cycle.
"Ok, I know."
Sylvie encouraged softly, and after that, the two fell into silence again.
Inside the tent, Chris squatted on the ground, her face pale, her eyes closed, and she was in great pain.
Her long black hair hung messily in front of her forehead, a few strands of hair were soaked with sweat and stuck to her skin.
A thin layer of sweat has seeped out on it.
Her hands were clenched into fists and her body was shaking slightly from the excessive force.
There were a few gems scattered on the ground, mixed with some sticky liquid, and the air was filled with a bad fishy smell that was suffocating.
Chris tried to squeeze the gem out from behind by controlling her muscles.
The shape of the gem was not flat, and every squeeze caused her unbearable pain.
She could clearly feel the gem inside her body, but she didn't dare to use too much force.
The strange pain and worry were almost unbearable for her.
The innermost one was obviously inserted too deep, and she couldn't squeeze it out no matter how many times she tried.
When you try to touch it with your fingers, it only moves the gem deeper.
This made her feel helpless and desperate. The mixed feelings of pain and frustration, and her inability to get help from her companions, almost made her collapse.
She is a saint of God and has always regarded the sanctity of the body as the highest principle.
Now in the body, there are the gems injected, and there are those liquids.
Now the gem deep inside the body keeps sending out strange and abnormal sensations.
Her face became increasingly livid.
Deep inside the Dragon Castle.
Carl's muscles tensed instantly and he punched the wall with such force that the air exploded.
With Carl's fist as the center, the thick wall began to crack inch by inch. With a "crash" sound, large sections of the wall collapsed, and dust flew everywhere.
In the midst of the flying dust, Carl retracted his fist, leaving only some dust on it.
"I'm pretty strong."
Carl is experimenting with the strength of this body.
There is no doubt that he completely inherited the physical strength and memory of this seventh-level evil dragon's body.
The power system of this world is from level 1 to level 10.
The 10th level is God.
The powerful countries on the continent, and the strongest people of some races, can have one or two ninth-level weapons, which are similar to nuclear weapons.
Each of these is a legend on the continent and will not appear easily.
The top conventional combat force that is truly active on the continent is level eight.
The evil dragon Karl is at the seventh level and has already become a local tyrant who dominates a territory.
Sylvie and her group are all at level six.
"Unfortunately, I only inherited physical strength." Carl sighed. The power system of this continent is similar to the advancement of the soul.
By practicing your profession, you can advance and become stronger.
For example, a popular profession like the warrior only needs to fight continuously, and its strength at the same level is far lower than that of Chris's Saint and Sylvie's Brave.
But on the other hand, powerful professions like Chris and Sylvie naturally have more requirements to comply with if they want to advance.
For example, as a hero, Sylvie must challenge the Demon King, and in the process, she will become stronger and stronger.
On the contrary, if she finds a village to mess around, her career will immediately come to a halt or even go backwards.
Carl is an evil dragon who burns, kills and plunders. The further he goes on the path of an evil dragon, the stronger he will become.
Can advance to Demon King.
Every advancement can strengthen the body and greatly increase the original strength.
"So, I'm stuck with a bug."
Carl looked subtle.
He did not inherit Carl's soul.
His power comes from special movies, and he upgrades his power by constantly completing the actions that appear in those movies.
Therefore, his current ability level is actually level one.
But his body was strengthened seven times, becoming the human form of the evil dragon Carl.
