Chapter 360: Picking People
In the small square outside the stone gate of the Tower of Babel, Goron was ready to set off again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, he didn't do anything, and the key materials and important items and equipment that he usually had to use were stored in the situation of the tattoo using the seventh divine power, which was safe and convenient. Goron just gathered some random food from the nearby ruins. For the ogre, the food problem can be solved very well, after all, their species has a wide range of recipes in the biological world second only to the ooze monsters, and Goron's appetite is not as exaggerated as his kind, no matter where he goes, as long as it is not an absolute forbidden area for life, he will not starve to death. In the recent recruitment of the team, Goron finally selected 23 people from the emotional crowd, and these people were not actually selected by him personally, but were given carte blanche to the mysterious cheeky old man, the old guy who called himself Odin, and Goron asked him to choose the team members instead of himself.
Goron had already seen that the reason why the popularity of the crowd would rise rapidly was because this sloppy dirty old man had taken a fancy to his inconspicuous pebble, and the residents of Blackwater City should have known something about this old man, so they would change their initial decision because of his choice. In this case, this old man should also know the inhabitants of this city, at least better than he Goron knows the strengths and strengths of the people here, and let him choose instead of himself, although there will be some risks, such as he chooses all his relatives and friends to join the team, and then takes risks in the tower to empty himself, and even stabs himself in the back to snatch the stone. However, according to Golon's observations, the old man's reputation in Blackwater City does not seem to be very good, after all, the way the crowd looks at him has nothing to do with positive words such as reverence, respect, and convincing, but rather looks at the less popular "neighbors" such as crows and wild dogs. There was a hint of disgusting indifference in his eyes.
The twenty-three people selected by Old Odin gave a very bad first impression, to be honest, they weren't the strongest of the candidates, and they weren't the ones who looked like veteran explorers in their outfits. These people are more like idle beggars, pickpockets, and homeless people in Blackwater...... They all looked obscene, sloppy and dirty, and they were eight taels within a radius of old Odin, and they smelled the same at first glance.
There were already a lot of disdainful taunts and sneers in the crowd, and they were all losers. Seeing that the great opportunity to make a fortune was taken away by this group of beggars, these people were naturally only jealous in addition to disappointment, and they were all waiting to see the scene of the annoyed and angry Goron and the old bastard Odin turning their faces, and if they didn't get it, they would choose someone again. However, to their disappointment, Goron looked at the twenty-three cheap men and women, and just nodded, and said nothing more. Almost everyone thought that Goron was trying to save his last face, and he didn't want to fall out with old Odin on the spot and admit that he didn't know anyone. But there are also a very small number of people who look at these twenty-three strange flowers. There was a thoughtful expression on his face, as if there was some secret hidden in these twenty-three people.
Of course, Goron didn't know the details of these twenty-three people, but he had his own way of knowing people. Although the war didn't last long, it swept and flooded every corner of the entire Blackwater City, and even the city's patron saints, the Hydra Cuskor and the Blackwater Council, finally lost their lives, and it can be said that the people who can survive and stand on their own are all guys with both luck and strength. Although the strength of these twenty-three people does not seem to be so outstanding, they have clearly left traces of battle on their bodies, but none of them are seriously injured. That in itself says a lot. What's more, Goron also has a pair of eyes that can ignore obstacles and distance. In his eyes, these creatures hid a plethora of special weapons and bizarre props beneath their filthy robes and cloaks. Goron was only able to guess the utility of a limited number of items. These things should not be aimed at him...... At least not entirely.
The dispersed assembly didn't take much time, after all, the vast majority of the inhabitants of Blackwater City had their fates revolving around this Tower of Babel, they had few fixed assets, and almost all of their wealth was converted into weapons and equipment, high-grade sacrifices, and valuable small bits and pieces to carry with them at any time, and only in this way could they rest assured.
When all the twenty-four people, including Golon, arrived, it didn't take long for the dragon girl of the Eternal Dragon Clan to arrive. Only this time she was back in the same blue velociraptor form as before. Facing Goron's puzzled gaze, the dragon girl of the Eternal Dragon Clan smiled shyly and said softly, "With the blessing and help of the Dragon Mother, I have been able to switch forms freely, for me. Still is...... It's still a bit more natural like this, but it's ...... But if you're ...... You want me to be ...... Become...... What does that look like...... Also...... Also available ......"
"No, that's fine. Goron smiled and nodded. In Golon's opinion, as the Bluetooth of the time warrior of the eternal dragon clan, she is very powerful in the form of a velociraptor when she is in form, and this kind of combat power is what Goron needs most now, compared to it, although the Bluetooth in human form looks pleasing to the eye, it is not of great use to attack the Tower of Babel.
There was still some time before the tower gate opened, and the twenty-five people who formed the new team began to introduce and get acquainted with each other, and of course almost all of them had reservations and would not show their most true and important secrets to others. This is also common sense, after all, this team has just been established, not to mention the establishment of bonds, and even everyone except themselves is guarding against everyone, and this situation can only be gradually changed by the run-in of time.
In addition to Goron, Bluetooth, and Odin, the number of men and women is half of the total, although the proportion of women is not low, but the overall image of the team is not very good, because the number of lizard tribes and gnolls in the team is the largest, adding up to more than half, even if the women of these two races can be called the beauties of all beings upside down in the clan, they are still ugly and disgusting beasts in the eyes of foreigners. The second is the Terran and the Swamp Fish-Human, each accounting for one-fifth of the total number of the team, and the other races basically have only one or two people. Among them is also an extremely rare race of goblins. A snakeskin bull knight in the team is particularly eye-catching, and his strength at the peak of the fifth order is also the best among others.
Bluetooth was also taken aback after knowing that the mysterious old man Odin had joined, and from her, Goron also learned some information about this old man, although Bluetooth didn't know much. This time, Goron was even more sure of the value of the stone in his hand.
The stone gate finally opened on time, and not many people came out this time, their eyes first swept over the ruined Blackwater City, the amazement and anger in their eyes only lasted for a moment before they lost interest, and their faces were full of tiredness and numbness that could not be concealed. Only one or two people quickened their pace and hurried in the direction of their own home. For this chaotic world of time and space, such a thing as a city and a family is nothing at all. When they rubbed shoulders with Goron's team, several of them gave them sympathetic or sarcastic glances.
"Are you ready?" Although it was a boring nonsense, Goron still symbolically roared, and sure enough, there were few answers, and only the girl in the form of a velociraptor roared in response with great interest, but fortunately, Goron was thick-skinned enough not to care, and took the lead into the tower gate.
When this group of people all disappeared at the other end of the gate, and the eternal stone gate slowly closed, suddenly the heaven and earth were swept by a cold and huge will, and the moment it came into contact with this majestic will, the residents of the entire Blackwater City, regardless of strength or weakness, regardless of men, women, and children, all felt as if they were in an icy hell, and there was no more scenery in their eyes, only endless chill and fear permeating their hearts. Compared with this majestic and majestic will, the previous war of destruction set off by the war knights after the "liberation" was as ridiculous as the naughty boy's play.
Everyone looked up in confusion, and saw the dark shadow of a giant dragon sweeping across the sky, and on top of the dragon's large dragon head, a black-armored knight was looking down on the beings......
******
As a team carefully selected by the mysterious old man Odin, almost every member has a good record of the Babel strategy, whether it is their own step-by-step strategy, or the teleportation pass snatched from others, in short, everyone directly came to the two hundred layers of space, and began to rush to the upper layer layer by layer.
Goron became more and more convinced that his initial decision was not wrong, that each of the people selected by Old Man Odin had their own unique skills, such as a jackal thief who could open the highest level of locks and doors, and a harpy banshee's song had the power to hypnotize a large number of low-level demonic beasts, and could play a decisive role in many occasions, such as facing the insect tide......
The combat strength of these guys is generally not available, except for a few people, it is difficult for others to play a role in the fierce battle, and they can fight to the third hundredth layer at most with ordinary methods. But the old Odin seems to know every layer of the Tower of Babel well, and can always design all kinds of strange tactics in advance, try to avoid difficult frontal battles, and give full play to the special abilities of these two dozen strange monsters, so that the progress of the Goron team's strategy is beyond imagination.
But when they reached the 615th floor, the team finally suffered its first casualty, and the gnoll thieves who played an important role along the way were attacked by monsters that suddenly brushed out when they dismantled the mechanism, and as a result, they accidentally touched the mechanism, and the whole person was cut to pieces by a sharp knife array that rose from the ground. The crowd quickly killed the monster, but looking at the corpse of the jackal, the feeling of sadness arose for the rabbit and the fox. Old Odin looked at the corpse, his face full of struggle, and his mouth muttered as if he was considering the merits of something, and he couldn't make a decision for a long time. After a long time, he gritted his teeth, took out a crystal bottle with great pain, and sprinkled the light blue liquid in the bottle on the corpse of the jackal, and a few minutes later, a miracle happened, the fragmented pieces of flesh actually assembled on their own, and then an intact jackal thief stood up well, at this time it looked excited, its eyes were full of tension and despair, and its consciousness seemed to stay in the moment before death.
