189. Second Form
“Saying it’s a succubus, do you have any reliable evidence?”
“Ah, ah, beautiful young lady. Could it be that you have some doubts about my opinion? Actually, I don’t need to answer you. I have no obligation to explain my sharp eyes to a despicable bloodline.”
“That’s why I hate these knights,” Ian sighed. She also had no need to continue asking. After all, Josan wasn’t a fool. Knowing that the evidence was insufficient, how could he prove the existence of a succubus-like urban legend?
“I think Ezech is right.”
“Huh?”
Ian almost laughed in anger. Thinking that this person, Josan, was also a small Zhuge, she could only retract her mocking voice and patiently explained, “Succubi do indeed exist, but you have to know that the previous king also thought so and launched a series of crusades. In the end, he only caught a few dozen succubi and burned them. In the end, he didn’t see any corpses, and was even suspected of having been in vain, losing a lot for a little.”
“Succubi have always been a part of the human world, but they will never affect our plans.”
After Ian finished speaking, Josan touched his sunglasses, as if he were seriously thinking. Blue Beard Ezech also did not say much and slowly savored the coffee in his hand.
Just as Ian thought that Josan had finally come to his senses, she unexpectedly laughed awkwardly, “I’m sorry, Ian. I still believe in Blue Beard.”
“You usually seem so smart. Why are you like trash now?!” Ian was completely disappointed.
However, Ezech actually added another sentence:
“I’ve said it before, Josan. You have no need to state any facts to a despicable bloodline. Hehehe, actually, my great-great-great-grandmother was deceived by a succubus. Succubi are evil. We must destroy them!”
“Your great-great-great-grandmother… how many years ago was that?”
“Hehe, my great-great-great-grandmother was a very beautiful blue-haired girl. That group of succubi just liked to deceive gentle and cute girls. It’s really heartbreaking.”
Ian suddenly understood. This might actually be a family feud.
And besides, the Knight Order he was in was notoriously wealthy. Even the armor they wore was a precious and hard high-end product that they had spent their own money on. For Josan to bow to financial power was also normal.
“The favorite thing of succubi is to embarrass humans. If she is allowed to grow strong, she will surely raise humans as humble livestock. That is an existence that we, the righteous, will never tolerate!”
The next second,
Blue Beard, as if his words were law, as soon as he had blurted out those self-proclaimed elegant words, a huge, engine-like roar suddenly came from the basement, as if ten large generators were hidden under this small house.
“Josan?!”
Ian quickly looked at Josan, who had originally been smiling, to find out how many other strange things were happening here that she didn’t know about. But unexpectedly, the current Josan was also deathly pale and quickly stood up.
“Could it be that those magic golems also have an automatic activation function?”
“I’ve never designed such a thing. The only one who can activate the magic golems is me!”
As the floor under her feet floated up like a lifted quilt, a metal-clad mechanical arm broke through the ground and grabbed Josan… that not-so-thin man was like a mouse in front of those mechanical arms!
Then, the entire body of the magic golem broke through the ground. The hard ground seemed not to exist for it.
Ian was sent flying by the shockwave, flying dozens of meters away with the wall. In just a few short seconds, the house before her was like a child’s mud. The magic golem had just stood up, and it had been overturned.
“Oh, damn it! Come and save me! Ian!” Josan shouted. At this moment, the magic golem’s thick and solid body, like a stone pillar, was exposed to the air. The armor on its upper body was countless, like a small walking hill, emitting a metallic luster. On its barrel-like head, which was the size of a small house, there was a slit, emitting a strong light like a searchlight.
“Isn’t it a little too late to think of me now?!” Ian hadn’t even stood firm.
“He’s my sponsor, damn it! Do you think I don’t want that 500,000 gold coins?” Josan shouted.
For a moment, Ian was speechless. She looked around and, as expected, had already lost sight of Blue Beard.
At the same time, the guards standing outside the door all rushed forward. They were all retired knights above level 40 whom Josan had hired for a high price.
But the magic golem just took a step back, and its other hand turned into a sharp short blade, directly piercing through the knight’s armor and body, like piercing through a willow leaf, and then throwing it out. Instantly, all Ian could hear was a wail.
The other knights, seeing that this magic golem was not to be trifled with, shouted “Healer!” and immediately fled.
“Hey—! Come and save me, or your salary next month will be gone!” Josan shouted. The magic golem’s other arm, which was covered in red, was already aimed at him, but his guards all fled.
At this moment, Ian’s entire body began to be surrounded by crimson magic. She had already been accumulating magic power since she had stood firm. She knew that if she didn’t use her trump card, it would be impossible to shake this huge metal can before her.
At the critical moment, the carriage where Blue Beard Ezech had originally been suddenly exploded, and a heavy-armored knight walked out—he had actually returned! Not fleeing, but going back to change his armor?!
“Oh, oh, oh—you pitiful man-made soldier! You, who have no soul, still dare to covet the authority of Satan? How can a fake armor compare to this set of mithril armor of mine? What a joke?”
Ezech said, holding his heavy sword, like a galloping wild buffalo.
The magic golem also seemed to be awed by the luster of this armor. It instantly forgot about Josan, threw him away, and its hands instantly transformed into two huge blades… the size of which could directly pierce through a house.
No matter how thick Ezech’s armor was, in front of it, he was like an ant.
“Ahhh—!”
But before he could charge a few steps, the poor Ezech was pierced by the blade. That armor was like paper!
“How… could it be? You can actually defeat me, who has mithril armor…”
Saying that, the magic golem threw the poor Ezech out like a piece of garbage.
At this moment, not far away, Josan, who had regained consciousness, shouted at Ian, “Quick! There’s no time!”
“No problem.”
At this moment, the crimson magic around Ian became more and more intense, until it became the shape of a cocoon.
The next second, a pair of grayish-white magic wings broke through the red cocoon, and the young woman bloomed in the crimson like a silver lotus.
Her short hair, under the influence of magic, grew long, reaching her waist. Under her silver stray hairs were crimson eyes like a demon’s.
Sharp magic particles tore through her top, revealing her fair skin, but she didn’t care, as if she had transformed into a wild predator, subconsciously baring her sharp teeth.
“Now it’s my turn.”
