"Really? I see the corner of the table is getting smoother and smoother. Don't call me Dice Lady anymore. Just change your name to 'Knight of the Table'." Isidor said, pulling Dice Lady's arm and shaking it back and forth.
"Hey, don't shake me, you nasty goblin!" exclaimed Dice Girl.
"It's not over yet, I've just begun." Isidor said, summoning a beetle that could emit weak electricity, and repeatedly stimulated Dice Girl's whole body with electric current.
The perfect electric current made Die Girl feel numb and tingling. Her body twitched in waves. Only her mouth remained hard.
Isidor didn't bother to be polite with her either. He summoned various evil creatures to serve her in turn. Except for not really taking away her purity, he basically played all kinds of games on her.
"It seems like you've been playing a little too hard." When Isidor dismissed the summoned monsters, Dice Girl had completely collapsed on the corner of the table. She no longer had the strength to continue shouting, and she couldn't even make a sound to beg for mercy.
[Evil Summoning has been upgraded to LV3]
[The ghost value has been increased to 480 points]
[Evolution potential has been increased to LV18]
When Isidor released the Dice Girl's restraints, the system's prompt sound finally appeared.
"Oh? After 400 points, the level of evolutionary potential continues to increase? This is amazing. What can it become if it continues to evolve?" Isidor thought excitedly.
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the hotel room.
"Isidor, are you in there? Esna is busy, so let me pass a message to you." Iovia's voice came from outside.
Chapter 54: Preparing for the Battle with the Minotaur
"Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes!" Isidor quickly picked up Dice Girl, stuffed her tail into the closet, then restored the table to its original state and rushed to open the door.
"What did Esina say?" Isidor asked as he pulled up his pants.
"Aishna has made new discoveries in her research, so we need to speed up the process of gathering partners. So let me ask you about the progress of your sword forging," Iowa said.
"The craftsman has been found. He said it will take about a month, and we will also need some giant minotaur grease as quenching oil." Isidor said.
"A month? If so, Emmeline will be here soon. As for the quenching oil, you may need to handle it yourself. Esna is preparing a divination magic that requires a long time of chanting. During this period, I must protect her every step of the way." Iovia said.
"No problem, I can handle this matter myself, and it's a good opportunity to hone my strength." Isidor said with a smile.
"You are more reliable than before. It seems that all this time I have been playing hide-and-seek with you has not been in vain. Well, I will leave you alone for now." Iovia smiled and her figure disappeared into the night in a trance.
The next morning, Isidor went out and bought a big sword, and then followed the guidance of the old blacksmith Manglan to the camp of the Pure Love Warriors.
The Pure Love Warriors' camp is very close to the Death Mountains and quite a distance from the town of Rodria.
When Isidor arrived at the camp, it was already afternoon. He saw the pure love warriors dressed in black and carrying heavy crossbows training in formation, looking very strict.
"What is the dirtiest thing in the world?" the leading pure love warrior asked loudly.
"Mnotaurs!" the pure love warrior below answered in a louder voice.
"What is the most hateful thing in the world?" asked the leading soldier gritting his teeth.
"Mnotaurs!" the pure love warriors answered without hesitation.
"Our program is!"
"The Minotaur must die! Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!!!"
The pure love warriors shouted at the top of their lungs, and it looked like they were mobilizing before a war.
This slogan was shouted over and over for several minutes, and then the soldiers began training. They took out a shield that was more than one person tall, and formed a shield formation in groups of five to push against each other.
Isido couldn't understand their training, so he could only quietly chew on the baguette he brought with him. After they finished their training, he walked up to say hello.
The pure love warrior who was spoken to by him was startled and subconsciously took out his heavy crossbow and aimed it at Isidor.
Isidor then realized that he had developed a habit during training with Iowa, walking almost without making any sound, so it was no wonder that he scared the other party.
"What are you doing in our camp?" the Pure Love Warrior asked warily.
"Don't be so nervous, I just want to buy some minotaur fat." Isidor explained his purpose.
"So you are a merchant who came here to purchase. After we kill the minotaur, we will send the body to the town for sale. You just wait there." Hearing that Isidor had no ill intentions, the Pure Love Warrior also breathed a sigh of relief.
"If there's some in town, why would I come here? To be honest, what I want is the grease of the giant minotaur." Isidor said with a smile.
"Giant Minotaur?" The Pure Love Warrior's expression changed. The giant minotaur sounded like just a large minotaur, but the difference in danger between the two was huge.
Ordinary minotaurs only have great brute strength but no special abilities, nor are they as cunning as goblins, so they are relatively easy monsters to deal with.
But giant minotaurs are completely different. Not only do they have a larger physique, but they are also born with a powerful spell.
Although there is only one type, its power is usually far greater than human magic.
Moreover, the giant minotaur is the natural leader of the tribe. In other words, if you want to defeat the giant minotaur, it is equivalent to becoming an enemy of the entire minotaur tribe.
"This... is a bit difficult. Most of us are C to B level adventurers. It is quite difficult to deal with a giant minotaur." The Pure Love Warrior said with some shame.
In his opinion, it was a great shame for a pure love warrior to show cowardice towards the Minotaur.
"However, since you also hate the Tauren, we are comrades. Please come in and talk." The Pure Love Warrior changed the subject and invited Isidor into the camp.
The leader of the Pure Love Warrior Adventure Group, who was the one who had just taken the lead in shouting slogans, received Isidor in a friendly manner.
"In fact, we are planning a holy war against the Minotaur. The camp is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain, and we plan to fight to the death and kill as many Minotaur as possible before their combat effectiveness drops." The captain said as he made a cup of tea and handed it to Isidor.
"How could that be? Minotaur products should be quite valuable in the market, right?" Isidor asked.
"Indeed, hunting minotaurs can bring huge profits, but considering the various expenses, it is a bit stretched." The leader showed a trace of sadness on his face, took a sip of coarse tea, and then continued:
"Fighting the Tauren is a thankless task. The Tauren stay in the mountains most of the time and only come down to plunder. In order to fight the Tauren, we need to equip ourselves with heavy crossbows and tower shields, plus healing potions and other daily expenses. It's basically a losing business. But as long as we can make those damn Tauren pay the price, we will be satisfied."
Isidor nodded. He had noticed that the conditions in the camp were very difficult. This adventure group was indeed a group of revengers who would do anything to achieve their goals. They could be a perfect help in his hunt for the Minotaur.
"You want revenge on the minotaur, and I need the fat of the giant minotaur. Why don't we unite and fight the minotaur together," Isidor suggested.
"We unite?" The leader looked at Isidor's iron plate, which symbolized a D-rank adventurer, in confusion, as if he did not trust his strength.
"That's right, I will deal with the giant minotaur, and you all just need to help me restrain the ordinary minotaurs in the meantime." Isidor said with a smile.
"Sir, I don't want to be too rude, you'd better give up. Even the most ordinary minotaur is not an enemy that a D-level adventurer can deal with." The leader said with a somewhat embarrassed look.
"Words are not enough. If you don't believe that I can deal with the giant minotaur, how about we have a battle?" Isidor said with a smile.
"Okay! Since you support our pure love warriors' bull hunting career, then you are one of us, so what's wrong with a competition? Come - take my weapon!" The captain laughed.
Soon, a pure love warrior took a mace and a shield and handed them to the captain. The captain took the weapon and said to Isidor, "Is your weapon that great sword?"
Isidor shook his head. "I will not use the sword today."
The leader was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's right. A broadsword may not be very effective against an enemy with a shield. If you need other weapons, you can choose any in the camp."
"No need, I'll just use this." Isidor said, taking out a baguette from the dry food bag.
Chapter 55: Little Dice Girl's Placement Play
"Are you crazy? That thing looks like a loaf of bread, right? Are you going to fight me with this?" the captain said in astonishment.
"Hey, are you looking down on our captain?" The pure love warrior at the side also glared at him.
"No, this is both a weapon and food. It is the sword of bread that brings peace," said Isidor.
The pure love warrior on the side was furious as if he had seen Takagi-san's NTR book. He was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by the team leader on the side.
"Captain, this..."
"It doesn't matter. Since this person makes such big claims, he must be brave and strategic. Besides, if he is not much stronger than me, how could he possibly defeat a monster like the giant minotaur?" the captain said calmly.
Seeing that the captain had already spoken, the pure love warriors didn't say anything more. They all came to the training ground to watch the battle between the baguette and the hammer and shield.
Isidor weighed the baguette in his hand and was not in a hurry to attack.
The reason why he dared to fight with a baguette was, firstly, because the leader in front of him was wearing a silver dog tag that symbolized a B-level adventurer, and with his current strength he would have a great chance of winning even against an A-level adventurer; secondly, because this three-day-old baguette was by no means an ordinary piece of bread, and its hardness could be used as a real weapon.
If you don't have the sharp teeth of a goblin, the usual way to eat this baguette is to chop off a piece with an axe, then use a chisel to dig a groove of the right size, pour the hot soup into it and use it as a bowl. After drinking the hot soup, the baguette will almost become soft.
In European history, there was a rumor that a chef used an axe to chop a baguette, but ended up breaking the axe blade.
Seeing that Isidor was reluctant to move forward, the captain did not wait any longer and charged forward with a one-handed shield as the vanguard.
Isidor did not dodge, but directly extended his baguette to block the shield.
Although the captain's attack had the speed advantage of charging, it was still not enough with a strength value of over 500 points. Seeing that he could not shake Isidor's footsteps, the captain did not hesitate at all and directly swung the mace to hit it diagonally.
The mace has several spikes on it, making it look like a sea urchin. Combined with the centrifugal force when it is swung, its power is far greater than that of an ordinary sword.
However, before the hammer could hit him, Isidor used the baguette to activate his newly acquired skills.
"Shock wave." Isidor muttered to himself.
I saw a powerful impact generated at the front end of the baguette, which directly shook the captain's shield away. Although there was no accumulated power at all, the power was already greater than the "shock" enchanted by the green sword.
The captain was thrown off balance by the sudden blow, and his mace missed. Isidor took advantage of the situation and raised his stick to hit the captain on the head. The captain quickly used his shield to block, but Isidor withdrew the stick halfway through the chop and instead picked it up from below, directly picking up the shield and lightly tapping the captain's heart.
"I lost, thank you for showing mercy." The captain sighed and dropped his weapon.
"You're too polite. In the martial arts world, peace is the most important thing. Traditional Kung Fu only requires a certain limit. Besides, we still have to deal with the Minotaur. How can we engage in infighting?" Isidor said with a smile.
The leader was convinced by this Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi talk, and he immediately bowed down and said, "You are so young and have reached such a high level. I admire you! The Pure Love Warrior Adventure Team will do its best to cooperate with you and kill the giant minotaur!"
"Kill the Minotaur!!!" Upon seeing this, the other pure love warriors also bowed down, making Isidor feel as if he was an emperor attending court.
"Well said! We should reorganize our armaments from now on, raise troops as soon as possible, and defeat the Minotaur!" Isidor was also infected by the spirit of the Pure Love Warriors and said loudly.
After agreeing on a time with the Pure Love Warrior, Isidor hurried back to the hotel room to visit Dice Girl.
As soon as he got to the room, he found a large area of wetness under the closet. Isidor quickly opened the closet and found that he had forgotten to turn off the weak electricity magic when he stuffed the tail in, causing the tail to vibrate and release weak electricity.
The trip back and forth took at least a dozen hours, which made Little Dice Lady miserable. Her eyes were dazed, her face was covered with saliva and tears, and she looked like a broken man.
Isidor quickly pulled out the tail, only to hear a "pop" sound. The little dice girl shuddered all over, and then lay on the ground motionless like a dead fish.
Seeing this, Isidor quickly untied the ropes on Little Dice Lady, pried open her mouth and poured the life potion into her mouth. However, Little Dice Lady was only choked by the potion and showed no signs of being cured.
But thanks to this choke, Dice Girl finally regained consciousness.
"I want the blue bottle..." said Dice Girl weakly.
"Blue bottle?" Isidor was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that Dice Lady was talking about the magic potion, so he quickly took it and asked her to drink it.
After drinking the magic potion, Dice Lady gradually regained her spirit, slowly sat up, puffed her cheeks and said to Isidor: "Fool, Dice Lady is a magical creature, how can you feed me the potion of life? Do you think I am the same as you mortals?"
"So, it's my fault for saving you?" Isidor felt angry and amused. The little dice girl in front of him had been tormented by him for more than ten hours, but she still dared to talk to him like this. She was even more stubborn than Da Sima.
"You were wrong from the beginning! Dice Lady's puzzles need to be solved with wisdom. Brute force like yours is not acceptable!" Dice Lady complained while sitting on the bed with her legs crossed.
"Okay, I don't have wisdom, okay? I'll take you to see a wise man." Isidor said, taking out his pocket and pretending to put it on the dice girl.
"Ah! Don't take me to see Esna!!! Can I make an exception and throw a bigger dice for you?" When the dice girl heard that Isidor was going to take her away, she quickly begged for mercy.
"Well? How's that for me?" Isidor asked.
"The Dice Lady is helping you cheat secretly. She can make you lucky by rolling a larger number. But it's only once. Manipulating the Dice Lady is not allowed!" the Dice Lady said in a delicate voice.
"Become lucky? Is there such an ability?" Isidor asked doubtfully.
"It can be done! I'm the Dice Lady who controls destiny!" said the Dice Lady, taking off a twenty-sided dice accessory from her ear and gently throwing it onto the bed.
The dice rolled all the way and finally stopped at eighteen.
"I set the average at three points. Eighteen points means you can enjoy six times the luck." The dice lady said proudly.
"...Although you said so, I have no way to verify it. Anyway, I'd better find someone to take care of you, otherwise you will die when I'm busy." Isidor said.
"I'm not an animal! Will I die if no one takes care of me? Just leave me enough magic potions and I can survive." Dice Lady said dissatisfiedly.
"What if I leave you alone and you run away?" said Isidor.
"But you said you wanted someone to take care of me, so you should leave me to Esina, right? The Dice Lady has already rolled the lucky dice for you, you can't go back on your word!" The Dice Lady said aggrievedly.
"Impossible, I swear on the Luo River." Isidor said righteously.
"It sounds even more unreliable!" Dice Lady almost cried when she heard it.
"Okay, wait for me for two hours." Seeing this, Isidor had to use evil summoning to summon some tool creatures and started doing handicraft work.
Chapter 56: Dice Girl Automatic Feeding System
"OK! The automatic feeding system for dice girls has been successfully manufactured!"
Isidor announced proudly two hours later.
