Act I: The Broken Heart Chapter 74: The Sprout of Calamity
In the center of the fog and rain node, there is a huge mansion covering an area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers, the mansion is surrounded by an alloy wall as high as 30 meters and a thickness of nearly 10 meters, which firmly guards the mansion.
This is the home base of the family of Rhein Betters, the master of the Misty Rain Node.
This layer of arrangement makes people not doubt at all, even if the node is breached, it is estimated that it can withstand it for a long time.
In the past, even a small guard of the Betus family could be a powerful existence in the node, but today, the Betus family is cautious, and the reason is that a distinguished guest has come to their family.
At this time, in the reception hall, two figures stood and knelt, and a person wearing a golden cloak and a golden hood was standing, and the one who knelt was the controller of the fog and rain node.
And this controller was none other than the blonde man who had previously held a meeting to rescue the Frost Node at Long Lao.
Where is the blonde man at this time still having the kind of flying majesty he used to be? He knelt quietly on the ground, and as long as the person in front of him did not make a sound, he had to kneel like this all the time.
He usually indulges in lust, and his body is basically in a state of deficit, if it weren't for the support of his ability in his body, it is estimated that he would be able to kneel for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, but while Rhein Betters' legs were already trembling on his knees, the man in the golden cloak slowly walked forward and sat down on a chair made of pure gold at the center of the hall. After the man waved his hand and signaled that he could get up, Rhein Betters was relieved, but his legs were numb, and for a while he couldn't stand up.
Seeing Rhein Bettes' embarrassment, the man shook his head: "The glory of the Beters family has been lost by you, how did that old guy Lucas rest assured that he passed on the position of the controller to you?" ”
The cloaked man's voice was very magnetic, but it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman just by listening to the voice, and with that, the cloaked man waved his hand, and Rhein Betters felt a breath that made his soul tremble around him, and he floated to the abnormal chair before slowly dissipating.
"Thank you, thank you, master." Rhein Betters smiled flatteringly.
The cloaked man waved his hand: "If it weren't for the face of that old fellow Rucas, I would have pinched it to death a garbage like you." ”
Rhein Betters was raining down, and he could hear his master's dissatisfaction with him, but at this time he could only pray that his master would not be like him.
"You did a good job before, and it saved your life. And the most important thing you have to do is what you have to do. The cloaked man glanced at Rhein Betters with a respectful face, and I have to say that this guy is a dog-legged goods.
"I need you to take this to the Frostfall Node after opening the Node Tournament." As soon as the Cloaked Man's robe moved, a strangely shaped orb appeared in his or her palm, the orb was dull, except for a red/blue dot at the top and a red dot at the bottom.
Rhein Betters didn't know what it was, so a more flattering smile appeared on his face, silently waiting for the cloaked man's next words.
"When you take it to the Frostfall Node, if it starts to glow golden, you press the red button, and if it doesn't respond until the end of the tournament, you press the blue button. How's that, simple, right? ”
"Follow the master's teachings!" Rhein Betters nodded hurriedly.
"Let's go down!" The cloaked man waved his hand, and then suddenly remembered something: "Are all the things that you were asked to prepare before?" ”
Rhein Betters froze when he walked to the door, then turned around and said with a sneer: "What the master ordered, the small ones have already been prepared, the master, please rest assured, these are all original goods." Rhein Betters had a smirk on his face.
"Gather them together! I'll take them away now. The cloaked man stood up and walked out the door. Rhein Betters was slightly stunned, and then quickly took out the crystal card and clicked on it a few times, and then followed behind the cloaked man.
Looking at the way he looked, he almost stuck out his tongue and waged his tail.
The central square in the Betters family's mansion was densely packed with people at this time, roughly estimated to be nearly 10,000 people, all of whom looked to be young girls in their early teens and twenties, and they stood together in fear, not knowing what fate they would face next.
"You've used that potion, haven't you?" The cloaked man stood on a high platform, looked at the dense crowd below, and asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, master, it's all been used." Rhein Betters bowed, fortunately, there was no one else here except for the somewhat flustered girls below, otherwise he would have seen the usual arrogant and arrogant adults with a groveling look, and it was estimated that his jaw would fall.
"That's it! Go about your own business! The cloaked man waved his hand, and a translucent vortex appeared in the square, and after the dazzling golden light completely enveloped the girls, the cloaked man slowly floated up, and his figure disappeared into the whirlpool.
The whirlpool slowly turned, and after the light dissipated, he looked at the empty square.
Rhein Betters slowly straightened up, he looked at the dull ball in his hand, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
On the other side, in an underground square, a translucent spatial vortex slowly emerged, a dazzling light flashed in the hall, after the light disappeared, dense figures filled the entire underground square, the cloaked man in a golden cloak walked to the middle of the crowd, his (her) pupils under the hood shot a burst of dazzling golden light, and the girls who were still a little flustered stopped the commotion after coming into contact with the golden light.
The young girls' frightened gazes began to glaze over, and they lined up in a long line towards the towering pillars at the edge of the square. When the girls approached, the transparent cylinder slowly opened, and when a girl walked in, the cylinder closed, and then a pale golden liquid filled the column, and the girl inside the cylinder closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
More than an hour later, when the last girl entered the column, the cloaked man breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, I should be able to hold on for a while, but there is not much time left for me, right?" The cloaked man turned slowly, and his figure disappeared into the darkness at the edge of the square.
………………
Ressa and the others had given up on continuing to look for the end of the wall. Because for most of the day, they walked all the way, and they didn't see the edge of the wall, and at this time, Resa had reason to believe that this was a strategic defense line before the end of the world, and it was the kind that was deployed a lot, because along the way, it was roughly estimated that there were more than 10,000 wreckage of sentry machine guns.
Even if the crater is overgrown with weeds, it still can't hide the bitter battle that it has experienced here. Resa didn't dare to imagine what a huge beast tide it would have to be to break away the defense line that humans had spent so much effort to arrange.
The group sat on the ground and simply ate some compressed food, which was close to midnight according to normal times. In order to cope with the unknown tomorrow, everyone must maintain peak combat strength at all times.
