Chapter 33: The Granary of the Empire
Previously, the Templars of the Church of the Sun had gained an extremely large amount of negative emotional power by slaughtering more than a thousand residents of Yanan Town.
That power was devoured by them using some means, so that their strength increased by leaps and bounds.
This is somewhat similar to the experience points in the game.
Previously, Zoro tried to absorb the negative energy, just to see if he could improve his strength.
As a result, it can be improved, but at the cost of losing all sanity and degenerating into a chaotic demon.
It was a price he would rather die than accept.
Is he still him who has lost his sense of independence?
Even if he devoured that power, he could directly increase his level, he would never do that!
In the desperate face to face with the Scarlet Giant, let himself suffer heavy blows again and again.
After consuming most of the negative energy to repair himself, he finally broke free from it.
Now, the remnants of energy were interfered with by the Demon Codex, converging into a stream of heat that swept through his body.
"Constitution +1!"
"Constitution +1!"
The heat was boiling in his body, making Zoro feel more comfortable than ever.
Finally recovered a little from the endless tiredness and pain.
Just some of the negative power he absorbed increased his constitution attribute by 2 points.
+2 Constitution, which means 2.25 times the previous one!
"Those Templars, how the hell did they absorb this huge amount of energy!" Zoro frowned in thought.
Previously, he had seen with his own eyes that the group of knights frantically devoured this huge energy.
But they did not show any pain, but thanked the gods for their blessings with joy.
It is as if it is really empowered by the omnipotent true God, instead of devouring a lot of chaotic evil negative energy that can destroy the will.
After the constitution attribute has risen by 2 points in a row, below the list of personal attributes, a green blurred skill icon has quietly been added to each skill grid.
Just by looking at the green icon, you can feel a sense of life.
It's a pity that this skill has not been fully formed, and it seems that some kind of condition is still needed.
"The 12-point physique attribute is not much different from ordinary people, and obviously it needs to be continuously improved to make this ability completely formed."
Zoro had a hunch that once this ability was formed, it would definitely bring him a great increase in strength.
But for now, let's get out of here.
The sky-high flames were bound to attract a lot of people, and with his now weak body, he couldn't deal with any threat at all.
Stay where you are, just wait for death!
Zoro casually broke into a house and rinsed his body with water to wash away the blood stains on his body.
Walking in the wilderness with a strong smell of blood is like a lamb walking surrounded by wolves, purely looking for death.
After washing, he changed into a set of linen clothes he found in the other party's bedroom.
Linen is naturally not as soft to wear as those cotton cloths, and the rough fabric rubs against the skin and is not very comfortable.
But he is not an urban white-collar worker living in the 21st century after all, so he is naturally not qualified to choose these.
After doing this, he took the shotgun he had picked up from the ground, and some gold coins that he had found, and staggered out of the village.
He took one last look at the burning village, and stepped into the wilderness, continuing to the city of Psu to the east.
"Weakness is the original sin!"
……
Da-da-da-da!
Shortly after Sauron left, the sound of horses' hoofs sounded in the direction facing away from him.
A man in a black cloak and a wide-brimmed hat rode to the village.
He jumped off his horse and took off his hat very casually, and in the light of the fire, he could see that he had a black blindfold in his left eye.
A scar stretched from under the blindfold to the corner of its mouth, making it look like a hideous centipede.
He walked straight into the burning village and stood in front of the corpse of the blood-colored giant: "Totem warriors, I didn't expect to be able to see this group of natives in the hinterland of the empire. ”
"However, to kill this low-level totem warrior, you have to use the demon form, it seems that the strength of that kind is a bit inferior......"
He leaned down, and a small dagger appeared in his hand, flashing with a sharp cold light.
Laugh at!
The dagger fell, tearing the skin of the little giant like a bamboo!
The small dagger in his hand seemed to turn into a scalpel, slashing through the opponent's body in turn.
In the blink of an eye, the skin with dark red lines on the other party's body had been peeled off by him.
The most horrific and bloody art - skinning!
"Death is above, that violent guy who doesn't know how to appreciate has ruined most of the value of this artwork."
The man's tone was full of disgust, and he put the peeled human skin in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
And looked down and sniffed the rich smell of blood on it, and his face was full of intoxication.
It was then rolled up and carefully placed in a reel.
After doing this, he casually grabbed the corpse by the thigh and threw it into the raging flames.
Even after regaining its original size, the Scarlet Giant has a huge size of two and a half meters tall.
But in his hands, it's as easy as a chicken!
Da-da-da-da!
The sound of horses' hooves sounded as he rode around the destroyed village and headed east.
……
……
In the east, the belly of the fish appeared white, and the night was completely dispelled.
Standing on a small hill, Sauron saw the outline of a large city in the distance, quietly appearing on the ground level.
Pusu has arrived!
It was the largest agricultural city in the empire, and was built on the alluvial plain formed by the Sumir River, which formed an extremely fertile and fertile cultivated field.
Supplying one-fifth of the grain of the entire empire, known as the granary of the empire!
After the outbreak of the steam revolution, the steel track was repaired here for the first time.
Every day, steam trains carry countless grains to the more easterly Neverwinter City, where they are transported to all parts of the country by sea.
Woo!
Sauron heard the whistle from afar, and at the end of his sight, a steam locomotive was billowing with smoke and heading east.
It is surrounded by large tracts of fertile farmland, and many farmers get up early and work in it.
After entering the city, the bustling scene around made Sauron a little uncomfortable.
After all, the place where he had stayed before was an old-fashioned and backward remote town, and he suddenly came to the metropolis from the depths of the mountains.
Wide, flat streets, made of gray-brown stone blocks.
There were horse-drawn carriages on it.
and a sedan that looks very rough and plain.
Cars puffed black smoke and drove through the streets.
Most of the pedestrians on the side of the road have long been surprised, and occasionally there are people who have just entered the city, standing on the side of the road and watching in shock.
In a passenger carriage, the coachman respectfully asked, "Sir, where are you going?" ”
"Morgan's Tavern."
"Okay, sit still."
The carriage drove smoothly down the road, and soon came to a street in the southwestern part of the city of Prussia.
Zoro got out of the carriage, handed the other party a silver coin, and looked at the building in front of him—
Morgan's Tavern.
This is exactly the address that the bald man Griffin told him earlier.
After arriving in Psu City, Sauron came over as soon as possible.
Wow!
Pushing open the heavy door, the noise came to your face, as if another world had been opened!
