Movement on the flat ground...]

[You entered the depths of the manticore's lair and immediately saw the golden lamp on the stone platform in the center of the lair!]

[This is a gold pot lamp with a large number of gems inlaid on the surface. It still shines brightly under the dim light in the cave, showing an intoxicating charm! 】

[Miracle Lamp: A lamp that exudes infinite charm. It is one of the legendary artifacts of the God of Lamps. Anyone who gets it will have the opportunity to make a wish to the God of Lamps! 】

"Is it really a magic lamp?"

Mu You was surprised. He didn't expect that he could find the magic lamp so smoothly. The bard who he had been wary of before did not show up to cause trouble...

At this time, Mu You didn't have time to think about it. The magic lamp was already in front of him. He had no reason not to take it. As for getting the life-span curse in the magic lamp party...compared to the value of an artifact, a mere thousand years of life was nothing.

?

[Seeing the treasure so close at hand, you ignored it and ran towards the stone platform quickly!]

[But an afterimage arrived first and rushed ahead of you at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. It rushed to the stone platform and snatched the magic lamp from the stone platform. It was none other than Evans! 】

[You look back and see the shadow wolf half-kneeling on the ground behind you, with blood on the corners of his lips. He has been seriously injured by Evans...]

Mu You's eyelids twitched. It seemed that Evans had been holding back before. It was not until the moment when every second was needed to grab the lamp that he suddenly exploded. He seriously injured the shadow wolf with one move, and then came from behind to steal the magic lamp.

Mu You hurriedly backtracked and switched to vampire skin. At this time, only 'super speed' could change the outcome.

[You switched to the Vampire Marquis skin, and the daydream curse broke out. You became drowsy, listless, and unable to lift your strength.]

[You activate divine speed, and everything around you slows down instantly.]

[You saw Evans, who was running wildly and passing by you. In slow motion, Evans turned back to you with a feeling, and your eyes met in mid-air.]

【Evans surpassed you!】

[You try to catch up, but because of your sleepy body and weak feet, it is difficult to catch up with him...]

"Ah this?"

Mu You almost thought he had seen it wrong. Even after slowing down at a speed of 360 times, his speed was still lagging behind Evans...

Is this guy still a human?

Without any time to think about it, Mu You hurriedly changed his strategy.

If you can't compete with speed, then you can only compete with magic!

[You released ‘Transformation’, and when Evans was about to touch the magic lamp, you swapped places with him! 】

[You grabbed the magic lamp on the stone platform!]

[You triggered the greed trap, lifespan -1000 years...]

Sure enough, his life span was shortened. Fortunately, Mu You was mentally prepared and there was no surprise at this time.

What really surprised him was the next prompt fed back by the omniscient crystal.

[When you start with the pot lamp, you don’t feel the magical power that the artifact should have from above. It seems to be just an ordinary lamp with an empty appearance...]

"Huh?"

Mu You frowned at this reminder. Could it be that this magic lamp is fake?

Thinking back to the mysterious troubadour from before, Mu You felt more and more that there might be something wrong with the lamp.

Before he had time to think about it, the text prompted Evans behind him to see that he had grabbed the lamp and was already rushing towards him like crazy. Mu You simply retraced the timetable and canceled the spell casting, preparing to let Evans get the magic lamp first and see.

what happens.

Otherwise, if it is really a fake, it would be a shame to deprive him of a thousand years of life in vain!

[As time goes by, you stay where you are, watching helplessly as Evans rushes to the stone platform and grabs the magic lamp!]

[Evans did not hesitate to get the magic lamp. The surging destructive energy in his hand instantly condensed, and with the force of thunder, he smashed the magic lamp to the ground. 】

[With a crisp impact, the magic lamp shattered!]

"You're really decisive..."

Mu You was stunned to see it. After all, it was a divine weapon. Evans really didn't have any greed. He just destroyed it without even looking at it.

To be honest, he doesn't have this kind of courage. Even if he were in Evans's position, after getting the magic lamp, he would definitely put it away first to see the situation. Destroying the magic lamp would be a choice only when he has no other choice...

…

[A ball of blue smoke suddenly emerged from the broken magic lamp, and condensed into the appearance of a person on the stone platform in front.]

["It's actually you?" You heard Evans' surprised voice. 】

[With the sound of strings, the troubadour appeared on the stone platform, crossed his legs, plucked the piano in his arms, and sang along with the accompaniment: "Two warriors, be patient for a moment, please sit down and listen.

Shall I sing a song?"]

The magic lamp is indeed fake!

Mu You immediately confirmed this.

In other words, the information the troubadour provided to the two of them before was false: there was no real magic lamp in the manticore's lair. The other party said this just to attract the two of them here to achieve a certain purpose.

But at this moment, after smashing the fake magic lamp, the troubadour appeared directly... It seemed that the other party was not afraid of the trouble they would cause him.

["Who are you?" Evans held the sword in his hand, but did not attack immediately. Instead, he pointed at the bard and asked. 】

["Two of you, let me introduce you again. My name is Ifrit. Mortals generally call me the 'God of Lamps'." The bard sang. 】

Is this guy the djinn?

Mu You was stunned for a moment, but this made it clearer. No wonder the troubadour knew so many things about him when he met him for the first time.

Mu You suddenly remembered the previous text when the bard first appeared. So, the real miracle lamp is the tattered oil lamp hanging on his waist?

["Are you the djinn? Then who is Caesar?" You ask. 】

["Caesar, he is just a villain who stole my divine power!" the troubadour said with a plain smile. 】

["Caesar was sealed by you in the first place?" Evans suddenly put away his sword. He seemed to have recognized the identity of the other party's djinn, and his tone became respectful when facing the troubadour. 】

[The troubadour shook his head and smiled bitterly: "After Caesar stole my divine power, I no longer had the power to seal him. It was him who was greedy. In order to regain the magic pen, he broke into the retirement place I built for myself, the Djinn God's

Illusion, I took the opportunity to be trapped in it."]

["The pen of order?" You heard the interesting information and asked hurriedly.]

["Yes." The troubadour looked at you and said seriously: "I am not only the God of Djinn, but also the most loyal servant of the God of Order. After the will of the God of Order died, I followed the wishes of my master and was responsible for

He selected his successor. Caesar was the second generation successor I selected. Unfortunately, he was not a qualified successor to the order. The power of order made him lose himself."]

["And you are the third generation heir who may replace Caesar."]
