Chapter 280 She Just Wants to Be the County Magistrate’s Wife
“Mission: Sophia’s Curiosity.”

“Mission progress: completed.”

“Bonus experience: 500”

Lawrence was driving, Li Zhongren was sitting in the passenger seat, and Holo was in the back seat, looking at the car curiously.

After completing this task, he gained 500 experience points and his level was raised to level ten. Excluding the three skill points he had used up, he currently had seven skill points. However, the problem was that he did not have any skills now. Moreover, he knew very well that even though he was going smoothly now and had overcome all obstacles along the way, he would not be able to overcome all obstacles.

But from Ross’s mouth, he learned that in this world now, his own strength is roughly platinum?

Of course, this is Li Zhongren’s own positioning: Black Iron, Bronze, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Legend.

This is a range he divided. The dividing point of this range depends on your fame. Of course, fame also comes from strength. After summarizing the information Ross knew, he realized that his current position is platinum.

However, this does not mean that his strength has reached the highest level in this world, quite the contrary.

Sometimes, the gap between Legend and Legend may be even greater than that between Platinum and Legend.

Therefore, he will not abuse this skill point for the time being. He wants to find a high-level ability that is truly worth investing in, such as the skill of Blood Rage. Although it has many uses for blood, its upper limit is here, and it has even reached the point where skill points cannot be strengthened any further.

If placed horizontally on the earth, its combat power is probably only that of a tank.

It sounds awesome, but if the other party has an anti-tank missile, he will probably be finished.

Next, Li Zhongren set goals for himself.

To eliminate the root of the problem, kill Solomon’s brother Sarumon.

But it is not easy.

Because Rose was Saruman’s retainer, she knew that Saruman, as a super tycoon in another city, paid great attention to the defense against supernatural powers. For example, his castle was built with expensive anti-magic stones, the concentration of which was outrageous. Almost pure supernatural powers were useless against this castle.

With the help of the Iron-Armored Steam Knights, as long as Saruman does not leave his castle, he will hardly have to worry about his life.

However, it is precisely because of this that Sarumon’s biggest shortcoming is.

He couldn’t visit many places in person.

His solution is simple: have children, raise orphans, and build his own extraordinary power.

He did something that other nobles were reluctant to do, which was to spend most of the money he earned here.

So, he truly owned a team from the root and from the bottom of his heart. For example, the armored knight who just died was adopted by Saruman, but Ross, the shield warrior, and the alchemist were recruited from outside.

This was also one of Saruman’s strategies.

It’s called using a point to represent a surface.

By gathering together a group of extraordinary people from the outside world and his loyal adopted sons and orphans, he can use their power while reducing consumption.

This is also the reason why Ross betrayed Saruman without hesitation.

These non-staff extraordinary people are just consumables to Saruman.

“So, how can you regain your strength?”

Li Zhongren looked at Holo in the back seat.

He wanted to kill Saruman, but he didn’t want to rely on other people’s strength because no one would throw two kings at the beginning.

Besides, the selves in other worlds don’t owe me anything. On the contrary, I owe others. How can I have the nerve to ask them for help no matter if I have something to do or not? You have to know that the debt of favor is the hardest to repay.

So, he wanted to use Holo’s power.

Holo’s frontal combat capability is not very good. Although she is known as the Wolf of Harvest, unfortunately her body is just like that of an ordinary person. Although Holo herself said that she can turn into a giant wolf, unfortunately, in this world, even if she turns into a giant wolf, her melee combat ability is still weak.

Holo’s real strength lies in her ability to twist and forget.

You know, the extraordinary guards around Solomon were carefully selected by Sarumon.

But even so, he was still fooled by Holo. Until now, Saruman couldn’t even contact that team. Who knows where they are hiding.

Therefore, if he had Holo’s power, he could go straight to the vital point.

After all, in a head-on conflict, he would be facing an entire supernatural force, and if he could kill Saruman directly, then this supernatural force would collapse in an instant.

Maybe later, they will turn around and hunt me down, but that will have to wait until they are reunited among themselves and elect a real boss.

By that time, I didn’t even know what situation I was in.

“The more people believe in us, the more power we will have.”

Holo moved her ears and said.

“So, you want to help me?”

“Ah.”

Li Zhongren nodded.

“Both you and I have offended Saruman. The hatred between us is endless. Of course, I don’t care much about this matter. After all, before I took action, I already knew that the boss lady was backed by a certain assassin group.”

“So, she just doesn’t do it herself.”

“You can hang the task there openly.”

“Neither Sarumon nor Solomon acted rashly.”

“But you and I are different. Although you are not considered a human, you are also a real intelligent life. You should understand that the biggest problem for people like us is that we have no backing and we have to rely on ourselves for everything. Therefore, now that we have a common enemy, it is natural for us to work together.”

“Okay, so how can you help us?”

“I need to ask you this.”

Li Zhongren looked at Holo.

“Saruman may not send anyone here immediately after this defeat. The most likely scenario is that he will send someone to investigate first. This gives us a window of time, but unfortunately it is not very long. Therefore, we need to use this time difference to help you recover your strength as much as possible. As for how to recover, that is your problem.”

“More people know me.”

“Let me ask you something here.”

Li Zhongren interrupted Holo’s words.

“Is it simply knowing you, or is it that I must believe in you?”

“Both are possible. Knowing me will make me stronger, but the increase in power is very low, and after reaching a certain level, the power will no longer increase. As for the latter, those who truly believe in me and are willing to believe that I can bring good weather and good harvests, although there are few such people, the power they can give me is unlimited.”

“I see.”

Li Zhongren nodded.

“However, we don’t need you to become very powerful. We don’t have enough time. If you let people know about your existence and reach a certain limit, will you be able to use the ability that distorted the mercenary team before?”

“Yes, but only once.”

“That’s enough.”
–
“Is this a human city?”

He Luo, it was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

“Is the city fun?”

“it is good”

“Do you still want to go back to the fields?” “No, I want to eat that”

On the way, Holo pointed at the street snacks.

The steam carriage had been abandoned by them. After all, they didn’t want to attract Saruman’s attention at the moment, so the three of them disguised themselves and headed towards Pallas again.

“Hey Ross.”

“What are your orders?”

Ross was handcuffed and unable to use his own supernatural powers.

“Can you fly?”

“I can levitate, sir.”

“Then can you send me and Holo to the airship in the sky?”

“It’s possible in theory, but before we get close, we’ll be shot down by anti-aircraft guns. My floating speed is not fast, and facing anti-aircraft guns, I’m like a target.”

“What if you use me as a shield?”

“???”

Lawrence walked away, looking back every few steps. It was obvious that he seemed very interested in this girl with natural animal ears. Unfortunately, that was it. After meeting Li Zhongren, Holo immediately shifted her attention away.

After all, it just wants to survive, and it doesn’t care who helps it and has no opinion.

This is like the county magistrate’s wife in “Let the Bullets Fly”. She just wants to be the county magistrate’s wife. She doesn’t care who the county magistrate is.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Li Zhongren cut several wounds on his body, and blood gushed out, wrapping the three people and floating towards the sky.

“Report, an abnormal target is approaching the airship.”

“shoot down.”

“Yes!”

In the identification range, the airship’s radar scanned Li Zhongren. The soldiers reported it immediately and then decided to attack immediately.

Obviously, for a big guy like this, for its own safety and for the safety of the people living below, it often has to do this.

Moreover, this is a reformed airship.

The original airships were filled with hydrogen, so they could often explode when encountered lightning.

After that, alchemists used other gases instead of hydrogen to solve this problem.

Otherwise, this thing might be lost by yourself.

“Dangdangdang~~”

However, the metal storm emitted by the steam bounced away instantly after hitting the blood bubble.

“Cannonballs! Fire!”

Seeing this scene, the manager on the airship immediately made a judgment.

Replace guns with cannons.

With this stab, a cannonball flew out and hit Li Zhongren right on target.

The huge impact force directly pushed the qi and blood out dozens of meters away.

It looked very powerful, but Li Zhongren was still not injured.

Moreover, it seemed that because of this attack, a crack was directly created in the blood-colored bubble.

A large amount of gas gushed out from it, causing the bubble ball to spin. At the same time, Li Zhongren took the initiative to open a few more holes. In an instant, the sphere itself turned into a cannonball, spinning and rushing towards the airship.

“Bang, bang, spray!”

“Da da da da da!!”

Facing this spinning snowball, all kinds of attacks were directly bounced away.

The snowball hit the platform of the airship heavily, directly creating a hole in the platform!
“Safe landing.”

After dispersing the snowball, Li Zhongren looked at the other two. Ross was fine, but Holo had rolled her eyes and was hanging limply on him.

“Blood Rain Pear Blossom Needle!”

Looking at the airship guards rushing over, Li Zhongren snapped his fingers, and a huge amount of blood gushed out from his pores. The blood turned into flying needles, which killed all the invading enemies.

However, they did not die, but just fell into a coma for a while.

After all, these people had no hatred towards him, they were just working for the capitalists.

Yes, airships are a good advertising tool. In this era of booming steam, in addition to the lord of a city owning an airship, many capitalists also own one, which they use for advertising or other work.

The one chosen by Li Zhongren belongs to a private capitalist.

And the name of this capitalist is Saruman.

“Maybe, I can really survive?”

Rose followed Li Zhongren expressionlessly. The reason she helped was because she knew very well that if she didn’t help, she would die on the spot. Now, she had become an accomplice, and even if she wanted to defect, it would be impossible.

However, after seeing his true strength, Ross felt that maybe this guy would not necessarily lose.

Because the power of extraordinary people often lies in their weirdness and mobility.

Just like the guardian spirit called Holo.

Her direct combat power is just that of a wolf, and an adult with a knife can kill her. However, her ability to distort people’s hearts is terrifying. She and the dead Holander are not afraid because firstly, the guardian spirit has no power anymore, and secondly, they have taken secret anti-magic medicine to be on the safe side.

This is a potion that can specifically resist similar attacks. Its ingredients are similar to the magic-forbidden stone, but it will not affect the extraordinary person himself.

In fact, the first thing almost all capitalists do when they wake up every day is to drink a cup of anti-magic secret potion to prevent similar things from happening to themselves.

Obviously, the dead Solomon did not do this.

Having said that, in terms of pure destructive power, it is impossible for a superhuman to match steam machinery.

Not to mention, those steam puppets used to break mountains and crush rocks, how many extraordinary people can withstand a punch from them?
However, if a real fight breaks out, those puppets can be easily turned into scrap metal.

But this guy in front of me.

With her Eagle Eye technique, she could see clearly that this guy was capable of confronting anti-aircraft guns head-on with ease.

What is this indicating?

Such people only need to drink the secret anti-demon potion to avoid being mind-controlled.

Then he can withstand attacks of the same level and kill them at will.
Since she has been betrayed anyway, there is no way Saruman would let her go, so why not follow this guy to the end?

If death is inevitable, follow him and maybe you can give it a try.
