I Am Stuck In A Beta Test For 1000 Years

Chapter 73. Please Believe Me.

Mia left as quickly as she came. It was probably because the Priestess could not stay at the homestay for too long to avoid any misunderstandings, so she hurriedly cast [Healing] to fill Char's HP. Under the thoughtful gazes of the people in the room, she hugged him and took a bite before leaving with a red face.

She had heard about the chaos at the city gate from the guards on duty, and when she heard the words like "A young swordsman who could fight against Macha," so she immediately thought of Char.

Although she came here in the name of worrying that someone would get hurt, the love in the Priestess' eyes was almost flowing out. Anyone who was not a fool, even if they had never been in love, could understand it.

Apple Pie really had nothing to say this time.

The young girl probably realized what it meant to see a junior wizard in a senior wizard, and fell into a long period of doubt. After a while, she stood up and said that she was going out for a walk to see if she could find a few missions.

Char was just about to voice out her opinion when the Dark Elf pinched his waist and left with Apple Pie.

This was a gorgeous rejection.

Char sighed and went to the backyard to find Rylai.

On Rylai's left was a crucible used to process herbs, which was currently bubbling with a dark green viscous liquid. On the right was a clean pen and paper. She was copying the patterns on Corian's leather boots.

Look, she was a real player!

Char coughed and interrupted the girl's work.

"Eh? How did you recover?"

"A kind Priestess passed by and gave me a kiss. Let's not talk about this. I have something to talk to you about."

Char placed a bucket of Soul-forming Grass powder in front of her.

"I remember that you're a level 3 Alchemist, right?"

"I'm level 4 now."

"You're really fast. That's even better! I'll have to trouble you to help me make it into Soul-forming Ointment. The other two herbs are Thatch Grass and Perilum Leaf, which are available in the warehouse. The ratio is about 8:1:1, and you may have to try it a few more times."

"Oh, it's much easier now that you know the ratio."

"You're probably the only one who can say something like that."

Char mumbled. As expected of a player who played games with his brain.

He had mastered a large number of formulas in the first round, so from the second round onwards, he had been dreaming about making medicine with his eyes closed.

However, in reality, this was very difficult to achieve.

The alchemy level and recipe in the game were more like an official add-on. They would inadvertently change the dosage of the herbs you mixed. It was extremely subtle, but it could make the ratio of the herbs to be just right and perfect.

For example, even though he had told Rylai the general ratio, the real ratio could be 8.001:1.001:0.998 or even smaller. The system would only automatically adjust the dosage if a formula really appeared in the mastered formulas. If he wanted to reverse it, he would need great patience and careful thought.

Of course, with a little bit of luck.

Even though Char could do it, she would definitely not spend the energy to do so at the moment.

The Soul-forming Ointment was a common burial item for the Ice Summoners of Aurania. It could keep the corpse alive almost forever. Although it was only a level 3 herb, he could only learn the recipe in ice city, so he had no choice but to do this.

Char left the workshop and went to the slums alone, exclaiming that Rylai was a treasure among the players.

An hour later, he crawled out of the secret tunnel that Ninja Blade had fallen into the last time. As soon as his body poked out of the hole, a tentacle full of suction cups came at him.

"Luke!" Char immediately shouted.

The tentacle stopped in mid-air, and then a small head popped out of the water, with a fat penguin standing on it.

Tippi barked angrily at Char, but was held down by Luke.

"Come down."

The young man waved at him. A huge tentacle stopped in front of him, and Char jumped on it.

After a while, the two of them stood on the shore. It was still the same. Even the rope that had tied Simon and the others up last time was loosely tied to the stone.

"How are you doing?" Char asked.

"I'm fine. The gamblers are gone, and so are the guys who like to snore. It's very quiet." Luke smiled calmly. "It's just that I'm a little tired of eating fish all the time. I'll occasionally go up there to steal something to eat. What about you?"

"My life is still colorful. I have endless things to do every day."

Char leaned on a rock and smiled as he talked about his recent experiences.

Luke listened quietly, chuckling from time to time.

The two of them were like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time. No matter what they said, they would get along very naturally.

Having known each other for so long, Char knew what Luke desired the most-he was like a lonely patient who needed friendship to treat him, but could not withstand such intense and passionate feelings, and could only adapt to it calmly.

While Char was clear about this, he had never deliberately played to his liking.

He was just acting normally, treating him as another him, a lonely him.

In essence, they were the same kind of people.

However, the difference was that he knew how to bid farewell to this loneliness, had the ability to resist, and embrace a more passionate emotion, melting into the girl's love.

However, Luke could not, and he could not do it.

"I have something to discuss with you," Char said naturally.

Luke tilted his head.

"I want to take you away," Char continued.

Luke was stunned.

At the same time, Tippi seemed to have sensed something. The smooth fur on its body suddenly spiked, and he jumped in front of Luke. He opened his mouth and roared at Char, revealing 44 densely arranged fangs.

The calm water behind him started to bubble.

A monster hiding in the deep water was awakening.

"Char..." Luke frowned and stroked Tippi, trying to calm it down. "You should understand my situation..."

"I have a way to get you out of here. You should understand that you can't die, right?" Char said, word by word.

Luke was stunned.

The surface of the lake behind him began to boil, and a dark shadow rose from the lake. The two amber octopus eyes lit up with a yellow light.

Mayenne...

It was looking at Char.

[It is watching you.]

The system prompted.

Char took a deep breath, and his body began to tremble almost instinctively. His thoughts began to spin in a crazy direction.

His attributes were still too low, so he could not resist this indescribable fear.

"Luke!" Char shouted.

"Do you desire freedom?"

Luke's body trembled.

"Please believe me! I can give you freedom! True freedom!"

After saying this, the water surface behind Luke exploded with a splash. Eight tentacles suddenly rose up like pillars that supported the underground secret passage!

Char's body almost ran uncontrollably into the lake, and Mayenne's huge and ugly body was completely revealed in front of him. His smooth skin, ugly, squirming wrinkles, and the suction cups on his tentacles were all becoming clearer and clearer.

Even Tippi was curled up at Luke's feet, trembling uncontrollably.

"Luke!" Char shouted.

"Stop! Stop!"

Luke suddenly turned around and roared at Mayenne.

The monster was stunned for a second before it opened its mouth, which was filled with sharp teeth, and roared at Char in a low and obscure voice.

It was very angry, and its tentacles also reached out to Char.

"Stop!"

Luke said angrily, his thin body suddenly bursting with an unbelievable amount of power.

"Get lost! Return to where you belong!"

Mayenne was stunned for a few seconds, then he closed his huge eyes and slowly shrank back into the water.

Char had half of his foot in the water, and his body was covered in mud-like mucus.

Phew...
