Volume 7: The Chamber of Secret of Blackstone Mountain (Remastered Version) Chapter 84: The Chamber of Secrets of Blackstone Mountain (26)
Demon Clan, Jialan City.
The warm sunlight sprinkled on the ground, just the right temperature makes people can't help but rise a lazy feeling, for kittens and rabbits, this is a good day to bask in the sun and take a nap.
But at this moment, the entire Jialan City does not have the peace and tranquility of weekdays, but is full of noisy people. The streets and alleys are full of hurried pedestrians, both NPCs and players, all of whom look like they are facing a great enemy.
"Quick, speed up! We had to get all of this to the port within two hours! A cat-man squad leader turned over and stepped on a wooden box, and said loudly to his group of subordinates, a team of cat-people and halflings were struggling to push two large transport vehicles, which could be seen from the slow-rolling wheels, which were filled with a large number of items, resulting in extremely slow movement speed, even if the mage continued to release buff-type spells, the movement speed of the transport vehicles still could not satisfy the cat-man team leader.
Seeing that under his own supervision, the two transport vehicles only moved forward less than twenty meters in nearly ten minutes, and the leader of the cat man team kept jumping up and down in a hurry, wishing that he had the power of the sky. He knew very well what his immediate boss would be furious if he couldn't get the truck's supplies to the port for loading within the time limit.
Just when he was about to collapse, two tiger men rushed over from the other side of the street, consciously pulled up the handlebars of the transport truck, and with a loud roar, the transport cart that was originally as slow as an old ox pulling a plow moved quickly.
Although they both belong to the demon clan, the relationship between the small cat people and the large tiger people is not harmonious, and all kinds of friction often occur between the big cats and the small cats.
"Thank you!" The leader of the cat-man squad galloped a few steps and said to the two tigermen, "If it weren't for you, Momolo would definitely be punished." ”
One of the tiger people turned his head and said to the kitten man who was not yet tall enough to reach his waist, "Do you mean that today's little fish was confiscated?" ”
"You're right! It's the scariest thing in the world! "The kitten people are obviously an NPC, and only these kitten people NPCs will treat dried fish as a delicacy.
The two tiger men were obviously players, and listening to the little guy chattering there complaining about the inhumanity of this punishment, they glanced at each other with a wry smile, and silently continued to pull the transport cart towards the port.
Two transports followed the road, passing an inn and turning into an alley, through which you could see the port of Jialan.
On the second floor of the inn, a rabbit player observes the vehicles and pedestrians passing on the road while writing and drawing in a notebook.
"How's it going?" Another rabbit player asked, sitting on a nearby stool and sipping a thirst-quenching drink.
"It didn't go well." The recorder shook his head, "Judging from the current situation, less than thirty truckloads of supplies can only be delivered to the port every hour, and at this speed, it will take at least a week to empty the warehouse in Jialan City alone!" ”
"It's terrible." "We can't have that much time, or in three days, the undead will know all this, and when the time comes, I don't believe those skeletons will let us out of here so easily!" What's more, it is impossible for Jialan City to be locked down for a whole week! ”
The recorder sighed and closed the notebook in his hand: "I think you'd better go back and explain the situation here to the president in person!" ”
"What's your solution?"
"Goblin airship!"
The rabbit player's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up from the stool and poured the drink in his hand into his stomach: "I'll leave now!" ”
If Jialan City is busy, then Wanling City, the other main city of the demon clan, is in chaos.
Because it is located inland, Wanling City does not have a port like Jialan City, and the input and output of materials completely depend on the land, if in normal times, this is not only not a disadvantage, but an advantage, the trade route of Wanling City connects Jialan City on the one hand, and communicates with the demon's territory on the other hand, and the materials from the outside world can reach Jialan City by sea, and then enter Wanling City along the trade route, and finally sell to the demons who almost do not produce, which is also an important reason why the demon clan can quickly accumulate a large amount of wealth.
But at the moment, this has become a fatal heel.
When the news of Jialan City's arrival was placed in front of Yakumo Zi, the table was already full of all kinds of letters asking for reinforcements.
"I thought it would be easier over there in Jialan City, but I didn't expect it to be like this!" Yakumo Zi threw the letter for help aside and said helplessly, "Goblin airship!" Where do I go to find more goblin airships at this time! ”
Yakumo Lan said while sorting out the scattered letters on the desktop: "The sixty goblin airships hired in the early stage are all used to carry the materials of Wanling City, according to the progress, the material transfer of seventeen warehouses can be completed by tonight, and then there are a large number of weapons and armor, large facilities in the craftsman area, and finally the relocation of the residential area, there is no extra goblin airship to support Jialan City!" ”
"I still underestimate these little things about their ability to make money!" Yakumo Zi rubbed her temples with her fingers, "The two warehouses that opened last night alone will use a full thirty goblin airships to transport, I didn't expect these guys to reserve so many high-grade materials!" ”
"This is the reserve of an entire race after all!" Yakumo Lan didn't feel much surprised.
"Of course I know, but that's why I feel terrible!"
"You mean, the Snake of Bodyeater?"
Yakumo Zi's face turned obviously cold, and he nodded: "That's right! The demon clan has been settling here for more than 2,000 years since the establishment of Jialan City and Wanling City, relying on the protection of the chaotic camp, and only now have they saved these family funds, but what about the snake that devours the body? It has only been less than two years since its establishment, but it has been able to accumulate material reserves that are not inferior to the entire demon clan, although there is still a big gap in high-level materials, but from the perspective of various raw materials and weapons and equipment, I am afraid it will surpass these NPCs! ”
"Lord Purple, you haven't counted the large amount of supplies that you threw out for the Mobius plan before!"
"Of course I do! That's why I think it's scary, Blue! Yakumo Zi's tone was tinged with a chill, "The deeper I got, the more I feel that this organization is unfathomable, and the thought of having to be the enemy of such a behemoth from now on makes me feel chills all over my body!" ”
Yakumo Lan nodded silently, she knew what Yakumo Zi meant, it was not a secret that the Night Rain Demon Demon was separated from the Body Devouring Snake, what Dream Qianyu and her backstage could deduce, as the heir of the Yakumo family, Yakumo Zi was not short of wisdom, and naturally she could think that she knew better than anyone about her situation.
But knowing her situation doesn't mean that she can change her situation, knowing that when all this dust settles, she will also follow in the footsteps of the Night Rain Demon Demon, but Yakumo Purple sadly found that she couldn't change this result at all.
Maybe this feeling of powerlessness is what really scared her!
"Blue, how's our manpower evacuated?"
"Most of the members have left the territory of the demon clan and scattered to humans and elves, because most of them have completed the change of camp tendencies, and there have been no large-scale hostile incidents so far, the main functions of the guild have been transferred to the human side, and the materials have almost all been transported."
Yakumo Zi said indignantly: "Very good! As long as Gensokyo is still in my hands, this revenge will be avenged sooner or later! ”
"It's a pity! You're going to have to count on someone else to avenge you! ”
A hoarse voice suddenly appeared in the room, sounding like sandskin rubbing against wood, and it made people goosebumps.
"Who!" Yakumo Lan quickly pulled out two daggers from her waist, and a small jump blocked in front of Yakumo Murasaki, and the two drooping rabbit ears towered high, meaning that she had raised her perception to the maximum.
Yakumo Purple was the same, with a wave of her hands, four pieces of rune paper flew out of her sleeve and floated around her, this was her natural ability as a rune master, through these different runes, she could use spells engraved on the rune paper without chanting.
"Oh, it's really rare to see a great enemy!" The door of the room was slowly pushed open, and the sunlight outside the door cast two figures on the ground.
The moment he saw the two people outside the door clearly, the number of rune papers flying around Yakumo Zi immediately increased to sixteen, and the dagger in Yakumo Lan's hand was quickly distorted, which was the manifestation of the rabbit clan's innate ability being activated.
"I am really flattered that the Voodoo Warlock is ruined, the dwarf warrior has a sharp blade in his right hand, and the eighth executor and the seventeenth executor candidate have joined forces to visit!" Yakumo Zi controlled the rune paper to protect the surroundings of his body tightly, and at the same time carefully probed the corners and corners of the room with his senses, since the dwarf warrior's right hand blade appeared here, it meant that the other guy must also be in the room.
The nineteenth candidate for execution, the dwarf assassin's left hand poison!
"I love the look on your face!" Remnant Flower Willow said with a smile, and a weird smile appeared on his face that was covered with a bandage, "By the way, don't expect your subordinates to come to save you!" It took us more than half an hour to turn that waste into a puddle of rotten meat! ”
"Is Your Excellency the Fourth Apostle so eager to kill me?"
Yakumo Zi knew that both the Voodoo Warlock and the dwarf brothers were the Fourth Apostle, the White-Faced Hoffman's subordinates, and she also believed that only the Fourth Apostle had the time to deal with an "enemy" like her!
"The sooner you die, the sooner we will be at ease!" The dwarf warrior's right hand blade was not so well cultivated, and after speaking, he rushed forward with a one-handed hatchet.
When there was a loud sound, the dagger in Yakumo's hand, which had almost become invisible, was accurately blocked by the short-handled axe of the sharp blade in his right hand, and the power gap brought by the profession made Yakumo Lan couldn't help but be shocked back a step, obviously suffering a loss in the attribute confrontation.
A piece of rune paper flew in front of Yakumo Blue's body, and was ignited by a blue flame in the air, and at the same time, a blue water shield appeared in midair, blocking a shadow arrow secretly shot by the remnant flower and willow.
The water shield, which could theoretically last for half a minute, lasted less than two seconds under this bland shadow arrow before it completely dissipated, and at the same time, a faint fishy smell appeared in the air.
"It's poison!" Yakumo Zi shouted, and at the same time he shot out two pieces of rune paper again, one turned into a fire shield to block the attack of the blade in his right hand, and the other turned into a raging wind, whistling through the room.
Bang Bang, the remnant flower who was still standing at the door couldn't help but clap his hands and praised Yakumo Zi's quick decision, but the weird smile on his face obviously showed that this was not over.
Two more shadow arrows flew out of the hands of the remnant flower and willow, but they were not aimed at Yakumo Blue in front of them, but at the window on the other side of the room.
Seeing that his intention to escape was destroyed by the voodoo warlock, Yakumo Zi had to grit his teeth and give up the idea of breaking through the window, but the movements in his hands were not slow, and with a wave of his hands, eight pieces of rune paper were pasted on Yakumo Lan and his own body, and as the rune paper burned out, four buff spells were also blessed on the two of them.
With Yakumo's help, Yakumo Blue was finally able to confront the blade in his right hand. As the moon dancer of the rabbit clan, Yakumo Blue is good at stealth action, not frontal combat like now, but the not spacious space in the room limits her ability, not to mention that Yakumo Zi behind her needs protection, although the rune master has all kinds of weird runes and skills, but after all, it is still a mage profession, and the melee combat ability is definitely not comparable to the dwarf warrior of the right hand blade.
Seeing that Yakumo Blue was finally able to fight back and forth with the blade in his right hand, Yakumo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the space behind Yakumo Zi distorted, and a dwarf assassin with a cloth towel on his face jumped out of the shadows, and the dagger in his hand stabbed towards the slackened Yakumo Murasaki vest.
At this time, Yakumo Zi's side, there were only five pieces of rune paper left in the original as many as sixteen, and it was obvious that the poison in his left hand seized this opportunity, and before Yakumo Zi could replenish the rune paper, he launched a sneak attack.
However, what this dwarf assassin didn't expect was that at the moment when he appeared to sneak attack, the corners of Yakumo Zi's mouth also pulled out an arc!
The dagger pierced into the vest was blocked by two pieces of rune paper, and at the same time that the poison in his left hand realized that he had been tricked, the remaining three rune papers stuck to his body as fast as possible, and then exploded violently.
The explosion not only blew the poison out of his left hand, but also filled the room with a puff of white smoke, and when the remnants of the flowers and willows dispersed the smoke as quickly as possible, there were no two women in the room.
"Damn, let them run!" The blade of his right hand slashed a corner of the table with the short-handled axe in his hand.
The poison in his left hand, which failed in the sneak attack, quickly ran to the window, and wanted to jump out of the window in pursuit.
"No need to chase!" Remnant Flower Willow walked into the room and flipped the table, revealing the magic array under the table, "I didn't expect her to set up a teleportation array here, hehe, what a good intention!" ”
"What should I do?"
"It's okay!" Remnant Flower Defeat Willow said indifferently, "It's best to be able to kill her, and if you can't kill her, it won't affect the organization's plan." It is already a fact that the demon clan has changed camps, if they don't want to be strangled by the chaotic camp, the only choice for these kittens is to ask the elves and humans for help, let them help move, and then there will be a chance to intercept those supplies! ”
Compared with the blade in his right hand, the poison in his left hand was more thoughtful: "But just letting this woman live like this, will it affect the future plan, after all, Kagura Project is in charge of her personally!" ”
"I wish she could do it!" Remnant Flower Willow walked out the door, "Then she will know what Project Kagura means!" ”
The poison in his left hand and the blade in his right hand looked at each other and smiled, and left the room with the remnants of the willow.
