Chapter 565: The Prototype of the Resistance Team
Jiang Xiaowan had read a few sentences of Shiyun, and he was a little insightful, and when he heard the words, he turned to Stein: "Master Shi, didn't you say that these things are all objects left by the Buddha in the process of moving from the west to the east?" β
Stein spread his hands: "I have shown you all the things I have collected, which one has nothing to do with Buddhism?" β
What Stein stole and bought, Master Jiang had indeed seen it. But with his knowledge, if he doesn't open them one by one and look closely, where can he distinguish the Confucian classics and official texts mixed in them? I only know that most of them have 'open-chested and bare-backed' and 'strange-shaped' portraits of Buddhist characters, which are 'evil demons' who can sell and destroy bones, and can be bought by foreigners with money, which is his Confucian luck, and Jiang Xiaowan can't ask for it! Now the situation seems to have changed, and he can distinguish the value of the "Li Bai Document" that the baron said: "Master Shi, you are right. But there are some things that I don't know enough to really discern. I wish you could take all those Buddhist books and paintings. But if there is a document from the government of my previous dynasty, it should be left and handed over to the government! β
Jiang Xiaowan's mind of worshipping Confucianism and suppressing Buddhism, coupled with his desire to covet a rich reward, Stein already knew it, which was also the reason why he was able to use this villain smoothly. He didn't expect that there was still the last trace of clarity in this person's heart. patted Jiang Xiaowan on the shoulder: "I've shown you everything I took away, right?" Neither have I owed you a piece of brass. Look at these migrant workers, who sweat every day and get only one-tenth of your salary! I treat you honestly and fairly, how can you doubt my actions? β
If you have milk, you are a mother. The last bit of cynicism's insistence vanished: "I see it." I believe in you too! I'll help you deal with these bandits in noble masks. This guy turned his head and shouted at Lifu behind him: "These adventurers want to snatch what Master Shi dug up with you and cut off your access to wages, do you agree?" β
The disgraced migrant workers heard that they might not be paid β how could this work? After months of hard digging and trekking to death on the desert Gobi, the elderly and children at home are waiting to be fed, this is robbery, this is wanting our lives! Cantuman, shovels, and pickaxes immediately raised: "No! Whoever doesn't let us work for Master Shi, we will fight with him! "What about the wife and children at home? Fight it! β
Where did the people of the Seven Swords come up with this one? The old driver and the first master have all experienced salary bargaining in real life, and they know the pain of not being able to get a salary, so they relented at the moment: "Boss, these are all poor people." What to do? β
"Humph! There is much to hate! Baron Twilight's heart was like a stone: "Can we let them steal the treasures of their land like this?" Look at me! β
Isn't it just asking for money? Who is the richest in The Holy Way? It may not be me, but I'm certainly one of the richest people! Baron Twilight tossed a handful of gold coins: "How much does he pay you?" I'll give you tenfold! There is only one request, you are no longer allowed to work for this foreigner, never enter the desert again, and risk dying of thirst to dig up the relics left by these ancients! β
The gold coins were snatched up: "Master, if you don't have anything to eat, who wants to run into the desert and the Gobi to dig up the bones of the dead?" We listen to you! β
"Remember! If I see you again in the desertβ" The baron swung his spear and blasted the sand in front of him, smashing a huge sand pit, "I'll bury you all in this great desert!" β
Migrant workers are scattered.
Jiang Xiaowan looked at the baron pitifully: "Sir, my salary is three gold coins per month, and I have been working for five months." If you give me one hundred and fifty gold coins, I'll leave here and return to my hometown in Hunan!" β
This is a guy who has milk and is a mother. Moreover, this man was not ignorant of Stein's actions. The baron had a plan in his heart - he Jiang Xiaowan followed Stein just to earn more gold coins, which was not the same thing as those who needed to feed their families. Boss Twilight doesn't want to let him go: "You're hired. Come here, stand behind me! The men who followed me, together with Aldeck, acted as guides. I'll pay you a gold coin for three days! β
Stein watched Jiang Xiaowan move step by step into Baron Twilight's camp, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Master Jiang, you probably don't know what these people think, right?" They want to pull you against the black devil we've seen before! I'm not against you following. I now wonder what these people are going to do to win me into their ranks! β
Jiang Xiaowan looked at Baron Twilight, and turned out a pair of terrifying eyes with white eyes and black eyes: "Sir, let me go!" Where do I dare to go to such a thing? When I see that devil, my legs and stomach tremble! Just give me the reward that Master Shi promised me! I'm leaving! β
The baron stared at Stein: "You've seen that necromancer too?" I don't understand, why doesn't this necromancer have the slightest avoidance of you when it comes to doing it? You, and Hao Sven, is there a connection between you and the necromancy that we haven't yet discovered? β
Stein didn't answer, his eyes looked behind the baron, revealing a fanatical look: "Goddess Loulan! It turns out that the legend is true. There are really people who have lived in this desert for thousands of years! β
The Seven Swords turned their heads, only to see the woman in yellow who had been standing in the old city of Haitou from afar, and was drifting in the yellow sand rolled up by a breeze. The light linen shawl and hood did not cover her graceful figure, and she walked on the sand, and there was no footprint on the sand sea.
The woman didn't approach the crowd, she stopped on a sand dune, her clear gaze scanning everyone: "Twilight. Orange, Stein, I have a task for you. Kill the mage who is going to build the Tower of the Dead in Loulan and send the army of the undead into the desert. Do you have any questions and requirements? β
Before the baron could reply, Stein called, "I think you are more powerful than I am. Why don't you do it yourself? β
That's one thing Twilight Boss wants to know.
The woman's face was expressionless: "I am not a legendary goddess. If you want to give me an identity, you can call me a Heroic Spirit. I am the heroic soul of the ancestors of Rob. Necromancer, born with the conditions to stand up to me. β
Stein sneered: "Then why do you order us?" β
Baron Twilight interjected, "I have a question that I want answered. However, I am not the same as this powerful Mr. Stein. My companions and I are willing to accept your orders unconditionally and sacrifice to keep the army of the undead out of this world! β
The corners of the woman's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile: "Twilight. Orange, you didn't disappoint me. Stein, although my power is restrained by the undead, your own strength is precisely restrained by me. This is a task that you must accept as well! Look at your ring. β
Stein raised his hand, only to find that his original thick and emerald deciduous jade ring had turned pale and without a trace of energy. He wondered, "Can you control this ring?" β
"Two thousand years ago, a procession passed through this great desert, and they called themselves the Huns. In order to get out of the desert alive, they prayed to me and identified with my ancestors. I gave them a wisp of blood so that they could get out of the desert enough. Give them this ring so they can find their way home. What I didn't expect was that these people would never go back for 2,000 years! What I didn't expect was that a descendant came back, and it turned out to be a thief under the banner of exploration. He also brought two other thieves to dig up the remains of his ancestors, and he kept weakening my power...... That necromancer Marquez...... The reason why you tomb robbers have met him so many times and survived is because you can help him weaken my power! β
Can't go back! This was Stein's first thought. Then, he felt a force being pulled out of him, and he was shocked: "What are you doing? β
Heroic Spirit's voice was cold: "I'm pulling back my power!" You and your people will lose these powers through betrayal. Follow Baron Twilight to atone for your sins. β
Stein's level flew downwards and didn't stop until level fifty-five. He stared blankly at his hands and fell silently on his knees on the yellow sand.
Baron Twilight hesitated for a moment, then saluted the Immortal, "I, Twilight. Orange Whisper, the leader of the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment, is willing to carry out this mission unconditionally. But I have some questions......"
The Heroic Spirit's robes are windless and automatic: "I can't stay in the sun for long......"
"How do we track down this necromancer?"
"Follow Stein. The place he just destroyed is where my strength is weakest. Necromancers will definitely try to build towers of the dead in those places. β
"If he can restrain your power, why would he avoid you to build the Tower of the Dead?"
"Restraint does not mean victory. When he was building the Tower of the Dead, he didn't want to be bothered by me. β
"Necromancer, Marquez, does he have any weaknesses?"
"His weakness is you!" After saying a word, the woman in yellow disappeared like green smoke blown away by the wind.
Hearing this, Aldeck and Jiang Xiaowan's eyes showed ecstasy: Although the baron in front of him is not as strong as the two treasure thieves, he is actually the necromancer's nemesis! It seems that following this baron, there is no chance to make a contribution.
Unbeknownst to these two elite NPCs, the Baron is not the nemesis of the undead. The baron's reliance on dealing with the undead only lies in the inheritance of his Vermilion Bird Fire, which can directly purify the slain undead, and will no longer accept the command of the high-level undead and the summoning of undead magic, and begin to move towards reincarnation.
The baron looked at his partner: "Looks like we still have a chance to win!" β
Stein jumped to his feet, furious: "Impossible! You haven't seen that undead, he's level sixty-five! If this mad woman doesn't withdraw her power and let me help you, it's possible to defeat it, and now it's all delusional! You're finished, and I'm going to be finished! β
The baron laughed, "Are you willing to join my team?" Hehe, my resistance is taking shape. You can rest assured, we may all die in battle, but I promise that those who died in battle will not fall, and all of them will become heroic spirits who protect this land and water! β
