Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 181 Shy Sophia

The Lord of Luoshen City is a marquis, and Sophia is the only descendant, so she was born with the status of a count. In this respect, the two are well matched, especially these old-fashioned aristocrats with a long history, whose background is unfathomable.

His territory is right next to Luoshen City, so naturally they have a lot of exchanges. However, his other identity as a great magician is even higher than that of an earl, so he is already on par with a marquis.

The old city lord was probably the one who knew the most about the Sunset Canyon War some time ago, so he became more and more friendly to Xingluo. Even the noble lords saw the clues and were slightly surprised. The reason they were able to attend this banquet was because of Xingluo, because their territory was nearby and they could arrive in time.

Sophia was surrounded by a group of noble ladies, chattering about something, her face turning red from time to time, revealing a bit of playfulness and cuteness in her elegance. Several viscount ladies were not to be outdone, saying, "They will also pursue Xingluo."

Sophia frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy, but she didn't show it.

After Xingluo finished talking with the old city lord, the old city lord left first because of something. As soon as the old city lord left, several earls from the surrounding territories hurried forward and introduced themselves to Xingluo. Although they were also earls, they were already old, and their children were not as good as Xingluo. Xingluo knew that they were optimistic about his future, but they didn't know that he also had the identity of a great space magician.

Only a few people here know Xingluo. Even if they have seen him on the street before, they would not pay attention to him. Xingluo, as a senior magician, achieved the first place in Luoshen Academy, so a few high-level professionals know about it. As for his identity as a great magician of the space system, only the real nobles know it.

Therefore, even if the Lord of Luoshen City has only a daughter who will definitely inherit the position of Lord of Luoshen City in the future, he also wants to win over Xingluo. He doesn't know how far these two little guys can go in the end. On this continent, most of the marriages are contractual and focus more on marriages for the sake of interests. He is an exception and cares more about the personal wishes of his daughter Sophia.

Just as Xingluo was about to leave, he was surrounded by these earls again. Although they were quite old, they were all in good spirits. As for those young nobles, they were not qualified enough to talk to Xingluo.

The young nobles looked at Xingluo, who was the center of attention, with different expressions on their faces. Even though he was wearing strange clothes, some people would still treat him warmly. The nobles who had looked down on Xingluo before were all a little bored. The other party had reached a status that none of them could reach. Perhaps only the sons of the marquis could join their conversation.

Xingluo exchanged information with several nobles and asked them to go to Mo to sign the contract, after all, there were still many details to be discussed. Xingluo just agreed to trade with these noble forces, which made the nobles ecstatic. Although it had not been finalized yet, they were all satisfied.

The young nobles looked at the flattering expressions of their elders with mixed feelings. The people whom they had treated as ants just now, in Xingluo's eyes, were now even worse than ants.

However, the noble ladies were not particularly depressed. They pulled down their clothes one by one to show themselves. Sophia glanced at them with disdain on her face, thinking, "How could this outstanding young earl like these vulgar people?" Just thinking this, she glanced at herself again, and her expression couldn't help but dim a little. After all, she was still too young. "Wait until later, hum."

Xingluo glanced at the noble ladies who were trying hard to squeeze towards him and was slightly stunned. She had never seen these before. Usually, no one in the mercenary group wore makeup. At most, they just put on a few smears of light makeup and wore robes or armor. They were nothing like the nobles today, who were all dressed boldly.

When Sophia saw Xingluo's reaction, she snorted coldly and walked up the stairs angrily. Her high heels made a "dong dong dong" sound. She was going to change into something bolder.

Xingshi is really not used to being surrounded by so many people. He prefers to hide in the dark and kill his opponents with thunderous force, rather than exposing himself to the spotlight.

Xingluo didn't linger here any longer. He said something to the Lord of Luoshen City and turned to leave. Sophia, who had just changed her clothes and ran downstairs, looked at Xingluo who had already gone away. She frowned slightly, snorted, and ran upstairs again with a blushing face. She was really feeling shy in this dress.

Xingluo naturally didn't notice Sophia. He had just received the signal sent by Shadow. He didn't expect that there were Shadow's people at the banquet. He seemed to have underestimated the Shadow organization. Fortunately, he had become a member of Shadow, and Shadow had also entered here, so he would have a helper in the future.

As the ace killer of the Shadow Organization, Xingluo took a look at the task list handed over by the Shadow old man and frowned slightly. There was only one target for this mission, but the other party was an Earth Knight on the leaderboard, and a level 14 Earth Knight. The killer was most afraid of encountering this kind of professional with a flexible body and high defense. Even if he cast a spell remotely, the other party could dodge by instinct at the last moment. When he used the Super Pupil to assassinate before, the other party was just a high-level knight, who could dodge his space rift blade several times. In the end, he still lurked over and killed the other party before the other party had time to dodge.

Facing a level 14 Earth Knight this time, he knew that apart from close combat, long-range spellcasting would only alert the enemy. However, Xingluo was not afraid. Not to mention that his physical fitness was equivalent to that of an Earth Knight, he was also a level 14 Spacetime Mage, the ace killer of the Shadow Organization, and the gold medal killer of the Assassin's Guild. If he still couldn't kill an Earth Knight, it would be too shameful.

Xingluo accepted the commission, and the old man bowed and took his leave, his expression full of respect. After several missions, the old man admired the other party even more.

However, the deadline for this mission is very long, so he is not in a hurry. Compared to completing the mission, he wants to improve his own strength more. Even if he cannot improve his own combat power, he can upgrade his magic equipment first.

After he returned to the base, he could not wait to summon the angel puppet, and using his mental power to stimulate it and use magic power beyond his level, the angel was indeed able to operate. The star array diagram was released, and his combat power was greatly improved. He could also do two things at the same time. While the angel puppet was attacking, he could also attack. Today, Xingluo is more powerful than the puppeteer von Hohenheim with his mage-level mental power. After all, Xingluo has a weaker mental power and does not know the star array diagram.

The angel puppet attacked at close range while Xingluo released space-ripping blades. They cooperated very well and their skills connected almost seamlessly. However, Xingluo was not satisfied. After all, he was an angel but did not know the power of light. He always felt that something was missing. Xingluo's ideas became more and more dangerous. He thought of many plans, but rejected them one by one because they were only temporary use of the power of light, which was not what he wanted.

Xingluo began to flip through his ring again. Since he was planning to let the angel puppet do the fighting, he had to prepare some melee equipment, which would also increase the angel puppet's resistance to attack and lethality.

Xingluo searched for a long time and found that the most suitable item for the Angel Puppet was the Rusty Suit: dagger, bracelet and shield, so he threw them all to the Angel Puppet. When the Angel Puppet put on the equipment under Xingluo's operation, Xingluo suddenly felt a strange feeling of extreme fit, as if these equipment were quite suitable for the Angel Puppet.

The slate shield protected the angel's body. The dagger was held in the angel puppet's hand, leaving a few afterimages. The bracelet was worn on the angel puppet's wrist. The rusty appearance was very similar to the broken angel puppet's body, revealing a sense of decay. It seemed that both had experienced the baptism of time. "Probably the product of the same era."

Xingluo attributed this sense of incongruity to the fact that they had all experienced the baptism of time. After putting on their equipment, the angel puppets' combat power was further enhanced, and it was more in line with Xingluo's definition of puppets. It stood in front of the magician, allowing the magician to cast spells with peace of mind, and also had the function of interrupting the opponent's attack.

Xingluo nodded with satisfaction. As for the power of light, Xingluo planned to consult Tiffany when he had time. After all, the other party was a priest and could be considered a believer of the God of Light.

"With the Angel Puppet, the mission seems to be much easier. Even if the Angel Puppet fights the Earth Knight, the other side won't be able to gain any advantage. Moreover, with such a powerful shield and this mysterious dagger, even if it is rusted, it is more than enough to kill the other side."

After solving the problems related to the mission, Xingluo continued to study the angel puppet. He planned to refine the angel puppet again to see if he could repair its damaged appearance. After all, there were so many wounds on its delicate skin. Except for the wings which were still perfect, the body was covered with scars of various sizes.

Fortunately, Xingluo had recently stockpiled a lot of alchemical materials, which should be enough to repair a puppet. He poked the skin of the angel puppet with his hand and found that it was no different from a human. He was shocked again. If it weren't for the other party's dull eyes, Xingluo would have thought that an angel had descended to the earth.

The angel puppet seemed to be thin because it was made into a puppet. She had a pair of long, straight legs and a pair of huge wings behind her tall body. Compared to her broken body, the feathers on her wings were white and shiny, and looked extremely holy in the sun, as if the only remaining power of light was concentrated on the wings.

The angel's eyes were empty, without a trace of spirit. The movement of waving the dagger was like dancing, and his bare feet were covered with scars. When Xingluo was not controlling the angel puppet, it just floated quietly in the air, flapping its wings from time to time, as if it could float for a long time, like a feather.

Xingluo touched the angel's wings with his hand, and they felt unusually smooth and soft. Xingluo knew that when the angel was in combat, the angel's feathers were like a shield, and could also be used as a weapon when waved, and they were extremely sharp. He did not expect that the angel's feathers in a non-combat state would feel so comfortable to the touch, as if he was stroking a ragdoll cat.
