¡°Did you hear the wrong medicine, or were you under some kind of curse?
Hearing Xie Baixiang's ridicule, Ignatius's face froze, and then he sneered: "Stingy? Do I have it? I can only become the city lord because of my diligence and frugality; and you are just a General."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Xie Baixiang ignored the city lord's sophistry. He looked straight at Ignatius and said impatiently: "Hurry up and take out the treasure you mentioned!"
"Haha, this treasure is really hard to find! If this mission wasn't so important, I would really be reluctant to take it out!" Ignatius muttered with a look of pain on his face, and reached out to take it out. A pearl as big as a fist came out and he held it carefully in his hand.
As soon as the pearl appeared, a sticky holy light bloomed instantly, illuminating the entire campus. Everyone present, both the aboriginals and the players, seemed to feel a warm breeze blowing through their hearts, and they all felt a faint warmth in the deepest parts of their hearts.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A soft music faintly sounded in the ears, and upon hearing it carefully, it turned out to be a hymn.
When Xie Baixiang saw this "pearl", he immediately screamed loudly: "How could it be this thing?" General Xie suddenly jumped up from his seat and flew forward. He put his face directly up to it and observed the pearl carefully, "No this is the 'Pure Spirit'! I didn't expect such a legendary thing to appear in the world!"
The pure spirit is a wonderful thing! It is said that this rare treasure was condensed from the souls of hundreds of millions of pure-hearted people who willingly sacrificed their souls. From this, its preciousness is self-evident! But today's world has experienced a catastrophe, and the method of refining the pure spirit has been lost long ago, and its preciousness has increased hundreds of times.
"How could you have such a unique product? Tell me! Is this authentic and where did it come from?" Xie Baixiang asked.
"Don't worry, this pure spirit is definitely not a crude imitation! Hey, this is the treasure dug up by my old man! Look: I have dedicated all such precious rare things to this mission! These hundred Give me another 5 points of the share of the underground ruins of the Beast Forest?" Ignatius asked shamelessly.
He opened his mouth, and a white wolf came with nothing; after saying that, he still looked like he was at a disadvantage.
When Xie Baixiang heard the city lord's rude request, he immediately refused: "5%? What a dream! Although you provided the information about this animal disaster, each of our seven families transferred 2 points of their shares to you. In total, According to calculations, 5% of that ruins is already yours, aren¡¯t you satisfied?¡±
"Haha, the more the merrier!" Ignatius's face was as thick as a city wall. Hearing this, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face, and he bargained with the general as if nothing had happened. "You also understand the value of this treasure of mine. We who are discerning don't speak in secret." If so, you can at least give me 2 more points as compensation!"
"no!"
"That's a little less, 1.9%! The pure spirit is a treasure, it is definitely something you can encounter but not seek"
The city lord immediately became a salesman and talked a lot.
Xie Baixiang fell silent at this time. He weighed it again and again, but finally relaxed. "No 0.1% at most!"
"I'll give in one more step, 1.5%!" Ignatius said quietly.
¡®0.1%! "
¡®0.9%? "
¡°At least 0.4%¡±
"No way, 0.3%! No more! Otherwise, we will shoot two"
After some haggling, the final figure came to a standstill of 0.3%. This figure is Xie Baixiang¡¯s bottom line. He gritted his teeth and refused to let go.
Xie Baixiang knows that the pure spirit is very precious, and he also understands that after using it, it can add a blessing state to hundreds of thousands of people, doubling their health points and doubling their health recovery speed within a certain period of time! In this way, the losses of your army will be reduced a lot!
But the soldiers who lost their lives were not Xie Baixiang¡¯s alone. , although the power of the army is nominally in his hands, Ignatius has also bribed many people secretly The two of them are well aware of the twists and turns here, and for the extra contribution of the city lord this time, Xie Baixiang will not sacrifice his own interests too much for this.
Seeing that General Xie refused to let go, Ignatius finally gritted his teeth and said in pain, "Just think of me as a compassionate person and doing a good deed" The city lord murmured to himself to comfort himself, with a sacred expression on his face. , but at this time, he was secretly happy.
This is because even if Xie Baixiang refuses to give in, Ignatius will still use the "Pure Spirit" in the end.
They have been investigating the ruins under the Forest of Beasts for more than ten years, and they also know that there is a place named, ¡®In the underground city of "Spiritual Weapon Chamber", excavating the ruins requires a lot of manpower. The city lord plans to reduce the loss of military power as much as possible and save a lot of manpower, so that he can have a big advantage when excavating the ruins in the future.
Xie Baixiang looked at the city lord pretending, and said disdainfully: "Stop pretending here, I don't know about your petty tricks? It's just that they haven't been exposed! You'd better use the 'Pure Spirit' quickly, we have to set off as soon as possible!"
"Well, it's time to hurry up!" Ignatius responded. He raised his hand, took out another bundle of "carpets" and threw it to the ground.
The "carpet" quickly spread out in the tumbling room, revealing its true appearance. It turned out that this was a huge magic array with a diameter of more than ten meters. On the array diagram, silver-white mysterious patterns are woven together to form a thirteen-pointed star magic array; the lines on it are fine and connected, and from a distance, it looks like a silver sun emitting a huge ray of light!
¡°Isn¡¯t it possible to use it directly?¡±
Xie Baixiang curiously looked at the precise magic circle on the ground. He asked doubtfully: Although moving the magic circle is not as precious as the pure spirit, it is not easy now, right? What level is it? "
"I don't know about this! But according to the old man's words: this thing must be of a very high level, maybe a product above the third level" The city owner said proudly, "The effect of this magic circle is amazing! It can turn purity into The effect of the spirit reached its limit, and the old man even named it 'Light of Resurrection'."
"Furthermore, after using the pure spirit and the magic circle together this time, the effect is not to double your life as you know it, but to increase the chance of resurrection within an hour!" Ignatius said every word, in a flurry of tone. road. As he spoke, there was also a fanatical expression on his face.
"Resurrection?"
Hearing this sensitive word, Xie Baixiang was equally moved. His face turned red, his eyes shone with excitement, and he asked in an excited tone: "Is the resurrection true?"
Ignatius felt happy when he saw Xie Baixiang losing his composure. He deliberately said: "You will know later." After saying that, the city lord no longer paid attention to the other party, but turned his head and faced behind him. The eunuch ordered, "Those guys must have been waiting for a long time, tell them to come up!"
"I will obey your orders, Lord City Lord!"
Shi Cong bowed and hurriedly retreated. Soon after, he came to Ignatius with 13 young men and women in white robes.
Xie Baixiang stood nearby and took a quick look at these young people: these 13 people were all first-level priests of around level 20. However, General Xie didn't understand what kind of medicine Ignatius was selling, so he asked: "What are they?"
"They are a group of respectable people!" Ignatius replied lightly and ignored Xie Baixiang. He strode forward, came to person B, and asked solemnly with a cold face: "Everyone, do you all know what you are going to do next?"
"clear!"
"Do you know the consequences of doing this?"
"Know!"
"Finally, does anyone want to regret it?"
The 13 people looked firm and said in unison: "No! Never!"
Hearing the answers from these 13 people, Ignatius nodded in affirmation. He said solemnly: "On behalf of the entire city, all residents and myself, I would like to thank you for your countless contributions to City 112." ! I solemnly promise: Your family will be forgiven, and you will be remembered by everyone present and will be remembered by history"
Hearing this, these young people looked sad and burst into tears, but they still choked with sobs and nodded without saying a word. They walked straight to the corner of the thirteen-pointed star magic circle and stood silently. Several of them were born in sinners' families and were raised in captivity since childhood. It's time for them to play their role! Moreover, the only thing that can be exchanged for their loved ones is that they die without regrets.
Seeing that 13 people were ready, Ignatius took two steps forward again and came to the forefront of the rostrum. He casually took out a scroll of amplification and attached it directly to himself.
A breeze blew by, and the city lord then shouted loudly: "Soldiers, mercenaries, descendants! We will set off to the Beast Forest immediately to eliminate the wild monsters that threaten the safety of the city."
The city lord¡¯s loud voice swept across the entire venue. Both the aboriginals and the players stopped and looked up at the rostrum in the center of the university grounds.
"Before we set off, we need to conduct a special ritual."
"This is a sacrifice. There are 13 fearless warriors who will use their lives to bless everyone's resurrection!"
Ignatius said with a sad expression on his face.
After that, Chengduo shook his right hand suddenly and threw the pure spirit into the center of the mobile magic circle.
Suddenly, the silver secret patterns on the magic array flashed with blazing white light. The white-robed priests also closed their eyes tightly, clasped their hands together, and began to murmur a prayer. As time passed by, white light flowed out from the pure spirit, and finally enveloped the entire formation.
In an instant, a warm feeling clearly appeared in the depths of everyone's hearts, and the vague chant before became clear.
At this time, the magic circle was truly activated, and it slowly suspended the person. For a moment, white light was powerful, and a huge pillar of holy light appeared, rising into the sky and straight into the sky.
Seeing such a strange scene, some players who didn¡¯t know why immediately exclaimed: ¡°Look, someone is opening the sky!¡±
"It's so spectacular, so curiousthe warm feeling before has become clearer"
On the multi-seat stage, the performance continued.
¡°For us, they burned their lives!¡±
"Please remember the following names! Bernadette Bratcher, Jin Si, Bert Na Hui" Ignatius announced these names one by one, his tone was sad from beginning to end.
When all the aborigines heard this, tears filled their eyes. Some even took off their hats and bowed before receiving the Holy Light Pillar.
Players, you look at me and I look at you. You don¡¯t understand why the aborigines are like this. Because of cultural differences, they don¡¯t understand the true meaning of the things in front of them.
However, Chen Mu could see it clearly: "It's really stupid, it's all such nonsense! Isn't it just a 'reincarnation' magic circle? If you don't have the strength, don't move it; if you can't do anything, just figure it out. What kind of self-sacrifice, what kind of life sacrifice! Alas, they are all a group of respectable peoplebut also a group of pitiful people!"
Looking up at the white beam of light, Chen Mu's heart was touched. For the first time, he felt conflicted about embarking on this mission After a long silence, he finally had the answer he knew best: the goal of resurrecting his mother earlier was still far away. Looking for Mei He still had no clue about the old matter, and kindness was not the quality he needed. Chen Mu was firm in his choice. He closed his eyes, listened to the sarcastic call, and nodded to the light pillar in salute.
"Let us remember this moment forever, remember these 13 brave men 112 City will remember you, the entire human race will remember you, history will remember you! You are heroes We will definitely destroy all beasts Forest, to comfort you!" Ignatius said generously, waving his right arm and shouting slogans.
The aborigines in the audience were immediately mobilized by the city lord, and they all shouted with all their strength.
"Hero, hero"
Players were also infected by this majestic momentum and couldn't help but join in, shouting with red faces. For a moment, it seemed like there was only a pillar of light, a voice, and a group of people left in the world!
As the waves of sound rose and fell, the Holy Light Pillar grew brighter and brighter. A few seconds later, it had turned into a pure white, substantial pillar of heaven.
Players will never see: At this moment, inside the Tianzhu and on the magic circle, 13 young people are aging at a speed visible to the naked eye. With one breath, their beards and hair turned white; with another breath, their skin became dull and collapsed, with black spots all over it; with another breath, the thirteen people were shattered from head to toe, turning into dust and falling away without a trace.
What disappeared with them was the magic circle that reached its limit.
As soon as the magic circle collapsed, the Holy Death Pillar also began to waver. It buzzed three times, loudly and softly, and then exploded, followed by a shower of light, falling on the campus.
Although the Tianzhu is huge, the light rain is so small that it can barely cover everyone on the field.
"System prompt: Dear player, you have been blessed and obtained the special status 'Resurrection'."
"Resurrection: If the player dies within phosphorus hours, he will be automatically resurrected at the moment and hour later, and the number of resurrections at the beginning of the system will not be consumed. This state is a one-time state, cannot be superimposed, and lasts for phosphorus hours."
The light rain fell and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, but the system prompts rang in the players' ears, and everyone immediately started to marvel. Although the players have not yet reached the level of cherishing their lives like gold, "resurrection" is an unexpected surprise for them and it is also a good start.
"Hey, what about the flying disc and the light beam?" The attentive players soon discovered something strange in the sky and screamed.
A certain player stared blankly at the empty sky and said to himself: "I remember there are 13 figures on it. Are they the ones I just mentioned? And this 'resurrection' state is them"
He stopped mid-sentence. The joy in his heart quickly faded, and his heart suddenly rose.??A touch of sadness, guilt, respect These were all mixed together, making it difficult for him to distinguish which one was the real emotion.
Hearing this, the previous player¡¯s nose was slightly sore and his vision was blurred. He twisted his red eyes and muttered: "It must be them! Why would I cry? Damn it, I must have been swallowed by the sand"
And beside him, there were many people who were "dazzled by the sand", as if a strong wind had just blown.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of hand
Except for these few, everyone else was silent! Although they knew this was just a game, the world of Yasha was too real, and the shock they received from directly participating in it was unusually strong. Their hearts were touched at this moment
How the players react is not what those on the rostrum care about. Ignatius felt a change in his body: the divine grace descended on him, and he felt that he had one more chance of automatic resurrection. The city lord's face lit up with joy, and finally he shouted loudly: "Okay, salute the heroes. Only the blood of wild monsters can be used to honor them! Next, the whole army will set off, targeting the Forest of Beasts."
With Ignatius¡¯s order, the war machine started.
Soldiers, mercenaries, and players, under the guidance of the "generals", aim directly at the Forest of Beasts. At the same moment, Zhaocheng and 1 Old City also gathered a large number of troops, lined up in a long line, and began to march towards the Forest of Beasts.
Two hours later, after passing most of the way, the team from City 112 finally saw the Forest of Beasts.
At this time, the command of the army has been transferred to Xie Baixiang. He stood up and ordered the large troops to stop and garrison; then he ordered several mage groups to act together, and used magic to quickly build an old temporary defensive position according to the earlier plan. These positions are unified-shaped fortifications, called combat fortresses, or battle fortresses. After the battle is over, these battle fortresses are a reduced version of military fortresses. Although the structure is simple, there is no shortage of all the defensive facilities that should be there. Put away, although they are all the smallest, any one of them is more than enough to accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people. There are even many alchemy crossbows and two energy cannons set up on its wide city walls. Between the battle fortresses, there are various traps and trenches, which jointly look after each other.
Time passed, and an hour later, 18 temporary combat fortresses were completed.
Three thousand meters northeast of the Beast Forest, an arc-shaped defense line appeared out of thin air, vaguely blocking the road leading to City 112. After that, the old generals took their respective teams and stationed in order, quickly putting the defense into operation.
Xie Baixiang, on the other hand, took his 30,000 most elite soldiers and sat behind the defensive line to maneuver.
Since then, the layout of the three cities has finally been completed, and the war is about to break out@.
