Chapter 359: Recruitment
When the battle was over, there was no cheering, no joy, only a faint sadness and frustration in the air. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to the Blackwater Elder who had turned into a corpse puppet, the Knights of the Apocalypse also chased into the Tower of Babel after reaping the fruits of victory, and also captured several of Goron's companions.
The opening time of the gate of the Tower of Babel is fixed, and if people can enter, people will naturally come out. Previously, Monica and the others entered the Tower of Babel when Goron was unconscious, not only because this is the dead rule of Blackwater City, but also to "experience" it in advance. As soon as he came out, he collided head-on with the Knight of the Apocalypse, and being caught could only be regarded as unlucky. The reincarnated Northern Warrior Brisado Kenan is also a ruthless character, although the soul of the "Queen of the North Wind" Christine Aisha in Monica's body has not been fully awakened, but it will not be powerless, but according to the elders of the Blackwater Council, these guys were captured without much resistance, and there may be any hidden secrets in this.
Bluetooth looked around at his homeland, and although the battle was over, the devastation wounds inflicted by the "liberated" war knights remained. Sad-looking and numb, the inhabitants of Blackwater gathered the remains of their relatives and friends, tried to restore their destroyed houses to a habitable state, and of course, some bastards who took advantage of the opportunity to make war money. The body of the Hydra, the largest and strongest patron saint of Blackwater City, floated alone on the surface of the mire lake, motionless, and he didn't know if he was alive or dead. And the culprit who caused all this, the Apocalypse War Knight, didn't even leave a corpse.
Bluetooth took one last look at Blackwater. As if she wanted to imprint this hometown firmly into her eyes, she had a faint premonition that she knew the magic of time. Maybe she will never be able to go back here, to this home waiting to be rebuilt. After a moment, the blue-haired girl turned around. He looked at Goron and said, "Let's prepare, there is no key to open the door now, we can only wait for the next opening of the gate of the Tower of Babel before we can enter." There's still some time, I'd like to go back to the Eternal Dragon's Lair and talk to the Mother of Dragons, and you can also walk around and see if you can find any clues or anything you can use, right. You'd better recruit some helpers, we'll probably have a difficult journey in the future, and it's always good to have more people. ”
Goron intuitively felt that this girl seemed to have grown up a lot in an instant, and the youth and immaturity on her body gradually faded, replaced by maturity and stability, and vaguely, the Bluetooth image in Golon's eyes gradually coincided with that dragon mother. Of course not the imposter Mother Dragons at the beginning. Thinking of the Mother of Dragons, Goron couldn't help but think of the neurotic maniac who appeared in a dream or in reality, and looked exactly like his own monster mother. I don't know how. Goron felt that since he met her, it seemed that some things had been a little different, such as the previous Shadow Ghost Douglas incident, and Goron had a gut feeling that he had something to do with that guy. Of course, this could also be all a delusion on the part of Golon, after all, he couldn't even be sure if the psychotic liar was Golon's pure daydream.
Goron didn't go to the Eternal Dragon's Lair with Bluetooth. It's not that he doesn't want to go, it's that Goron knows he has to give Bluetooth a little time. Because he had the same hunch, after entering this tower. Whatever the outcome, he won't be coming back here.
In the time between the reopening of the gates of the Tower of Babel, Goron erected a wooden sign in the small square of Blackwater City, on which a notice was written in several languages he knew to recruit members of the Tower. Originally, his behavior was completely against the rules of Blackwater City, but now, even the elders of the Blackwater Council, the only order maintainer in Blackwater City, have been wiped out, so naturally no one will come to trouble Goron again. After a while, dozens of men, women, and children of various races gathered around. Many of these people were covered in blood, their eyes were dull and numb, and they just came over to follow their instincts and join in the fun, ready to transform their bad mood.
"What did you use to hire us?"
Asked like this, Goron dumped a bag of messy knick-knacks on the ground, these are some small magic items and good quality sacrifices he has recently collected, these are all prepared by Goron in advance, his tattoo space is limited, and he can't hold too many big things, so although these knick-knacks are all worth a lot of money to the outside world, they are not very attractive to these residents of Blackwater who have lived outside the Tower of Babel all their lives. Sure enough, after seeing the "reward" that Goron took out, most of the onlookers showed disappointed expressions, turned around and prepared to leave, and the few people who had no intention of leaving mostly looked at the things on the ground, but looked at Goron with a malicious gaze, and a few even showed an obscene expression and looked up and down at the beautiful young man in front of them, and it was not difficult to guess what they wanted to do.
Goron frowned, although he had already thought that it would not be so easy to recruit people, but he also did not expect it to be so troublesome. He didn't take those ill-intentioned fools to heart, and if they really didn't open their eyes to their own ideas, they could let him vent his frustrated irritability and anger in his heart. But if he can't recruit people all the time, it will be a bit of a headache for him, Goron already knows what kind of place the Tower of Babel is, if you want to successfully attack the tower layer and catch up with the Apocalypse Knights as soon as possible, it is absolutely not enough to rely on the strength of a few people.
Just when Goron was secretly thinking about whether to show his strength, and if he really couldn't do it, he would simply kidnap a group of people and force them to team up with him, a hunchbacked white-haired old man suddenly rushed out of the crowd, lay on top of the pile of bits and pieces thrown by Golon, and then picked up an inconspicuous stone from it, and looked at it with excitement.
Goron's eyes lit up as he looked at the stone. He deliberately mixed this thing up in pieces, and it was very likely that the Eye of the Divine Mansion was for the sake of this seemingly inconspicuous stone to mobilize the people, but he didn't know what the value of this thing was? How to use it? The key is that Goron doesn't have the time and experience to study this thing specifically, so instead of putting it in a pressure box, it is better to take it out and see if anyone can recognize it.
Goron's luck seems to be good, looking at the old man's appearance, he should know this "stone".
When the old fellow picked up the pebble and turned around to leave. Goron grabbed him and didn't talk nonsense. Stretched out his hand and recaptured the stone. The old man didn't have any embarrassment on his face, and he smiled stupidly. said: "I thought you didn't want this little stone, you see that I am also very old, and I like the pattern of this stone, so you should be filial to the old man and give me this thing." ”
Goron was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this old fellow's skin to be so thick. Goron is not very good at dealing with this kind of person, so he came to respond to all changes, directly slapped the stone into his own tattoo, and then turned away. Don't bother with this old shameless thing. Transformed into something of his own tattoo, Goron is confident that no one will be able to take it away from him again.
Seeing what Goron had done, the corner of the old man's eyes jumped, and his face was full of regret, as if he hated why he ran away as fast as he could without holding the stone, and how he was stupid enough to give it back to Golon. Of course, the most important thing is, who would have thought that Goron would have such an unheard-of way of storage.
"Are you going to bring it into the tower again? I advise you not to do this, as if you die, the whole of Blackwater will suffer greatly. ”
Goron paused. Then he turned around, looked at the old man and said, "Whether I will die or not is my own business, and what does it have to do with Blackwater City? As for entering the tower, it is imperative that the next time the tower gate of the Tower of Babel opens." That's when I entered the tower. If you really want it, tell me what it is, and come up with a price that will satisfy me. Or maybe you come with me into the tower, and you won't know when you'll have a chance to get him from me. ”
Goron had thought that the old man would choose the first way. If the price he offers is really right, he can make Goron improve his strength or hire more "cannon fodder". Then he wouldn't mind transferring the stone, provided he knew what it was, of course.
But Goron didn't expect the old man to struggle and hesitate. He even stomped his feet for a long time in a fit of rage, and then he honestly stood behind Goron, and joined Golon's team, but no matter how Goron asked him, this damn old thing just wouldn't let go and tell Goron what this stone was.
What use can this half-dead old fellow have, and be distracted to take care of him when he storms the Tower of Babel. Just as Goron was about to change his tune and refuse him to join, something strange suddenly happened, the originally lifeless small square suddenly boiled, and those who were about to turn around and leave rushed back, scrambling to make a contract with Goron and participate in the operation.
After all, Goron had only just arrived in Blackwater City, so he didn't know the details of this old fellow. However, the residents of Blackwater City were different, almost all of them knew this old man, because although he was a short-lived Terran, he was a real old monster who didn't know how long he had lived, and many people here were already as old as they are when they were bare-bottomed children running around the streets. It's just that he never fights, and the strength he exposes is only a third-order intermediate, and he makes a living by selling some sometimes useful and sometimes useless pit people medicinal materials on weekdays, which is inconspicuous, so naturally no one treats him as the same thing, and he will say hello when he sees it most on weekdays.
But this old man has a stunt that no one else can match. As an old monster who has lived for an unknown amount of time, he is able to identify strange things that no one knows. In particular, the Tower of Babel is just the magic laboratory of the Magic Emperor, not a special treasure labyrinth, which is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are everything, sometimes what you are lucky enough to get, and the seemingly extremely powerful things may just be the Magic Emperor's water cup footbath or something, and sometimes the tatters that are picked up casually may be comparable to artifacts. And this old man is the best at identifying these difficulties
Distinguish things, and never make mistakes.
This old guy is greedy for life and afraid of death on weekdays, and he doesn't know where to hide when there is a fight, and it is estimated that even if the entire Blackwater City is slaughtered, he will survive well, but now he dares to step into the Tower of Babel for an inconspicuous stone, what kind of temptation forced him to make this crazy decision that the old birthday star hanged himself and thought his life would be long. The residents of Blackwater City, who knew something about this old man on weekdays, suddenly came to a natural guess, that is, the thing in Golon's hand must be priceless, and it is not even possible to make it an artifact itself. Since Goron also took it out as a reward for hiring people, wouldn't he have a chance to get it as long as he joined his team? (To be continued.) )
