Chapter 144: Night
Night.
The troops set up camp on the hillside west of the town of Hekou, which was surrounded by an open area of high ground that was ideal for camping.
In a few moments, a series of tents appeared on the hillside.
Barr walks in the camp.
The magic technology left over from ancient times is quite limited, and most of the major forces are now focusing on those powerful war weapons, and very little energy is invested in other technologies.
"Didn't you see that the scythe beast was bigger than the camp we lived in, and I cut it in half with a single stab in the head..."
"Scythemon? How do I think you hacked a rabbit to death. β
"Hahahaha."
The soldiers at the tent were talking about the battle that had just ended, and from time to time burst into laughter. There are also soldiers who sit on the sidelines wiping their armor and polishing their weapons, for which weapons and armor are their lives.
"Commander."
"Commander."
Seeing Barr coming, the minotaur soldiers on both sides hurriedly saluted, Barr nodded and continued to walk forward.
"Who was that young man just now?"
"I heard it's a lord..."
The soldiers were talking.
Turn right.
Ahead, Barr's soldiers were setting up tents, but there was no adventurer in sight.
It is not surprising that these aboriginal soldiers in the camp are all above level 50, and the experience rewards that can be issued per person per day are also very high, which is very attractive to these adventurers, and it is estimated that they have now gone to various places in the camp to take on tasks.
"Your Excellency, you're back." Asaph walked over and said.
"Your Excellency."
The soldiers also stopped what they were doing.
After a few words with Assaph, Pippen, and the others, Barr returned to his tent, which was the standard tent issued by the Minotaur Legion, made of animal skins, with a thick blanket on the bottom, and nothing else.
Turn on the magic lamp he carries with him, and Baal sits on the floor.
"What the hell is the origin of all this black energy?" Baal took out the energy collector and looked at it closely, he was very curious about these strange black energies, "Okay, let me see you for what you are. β
"Talent Skill: Parse Refactoring!"
Bal's eyes froze, and the huge spiritual power instantly invaded the metal ball in his hand.
Moment.
His consciousness appeared in a strange place.
All around, there was a white expanse, and countless small black particles floated in it. The black particles are neatly arranged, either square or spiral, and some of the finer colored particles are rotating around the black particles, emitting subtle energy fluctuations, which seem to be the magic elements of various departments.
"This is, the shell of the energy harvester."
As soon as Ballo sensed it, his consciousness continued to deepen, and the black particles around him began to slowly decrease, and soon disappeared without a trace, and his consciousness had entered the interior of the collection device.
"What is this?" Barr stared at the scene in shock.
Countless white particles were suspended in front of them, distributed in a spherical shape, and the particles were closely connected together, forming an incomparably complex and huge magic array, and terrifying energy fluctuations emanated from the white ball of light in front of them.
Inside the sphere floated wisps of black mist, and the mist rushed left and right in it, but the inner wall of the sphere was covered with a transparent protective layer, and the black mist could not break through at all.
"It's amazing to be able to build such a huge magic array in this small metal ball."
"However, these black fogs are really weird and abnormal." Baal secretly said that almost all of the items he had analyzed were made of various particles, with the only exception being the contract origin crystal he had analyzed.
"Could it be... These fogs are made up of laws. Barr's face was happy, everything that was in touch with the law would never be ordinary.
Without further ado.
Baal's consciousness instantly entered the white magic array in front of him.
As soon as he came into contact with these white particles, he immediately felt a strong breath of life.
"It turned out to be life energy." Baal's consciousness did not stop, and directly entered the interior of the ball of light, although this magic array was powerful, it did not play the slightest role in front of his analytical ability, and was immediately broken through.
Wisps of black energy roamed inside the ball of light.
As soon as his consciousness entered, the black mist around him turned his head and swooped in this direction as if he had found a delicacy.
"Oops, these black mist spotted me? How is this possible, is it possible that they have an autonomous consciousness. Barr was horrified and immediately prepared to retreat, he didn't want to be entangled in the black mist.
But it's too late.
The speed of these black energies was astonishingly fast, and they rushed into his consciousness in an instant.
"Ahh
Intense pain came, and Barr screamed and lost consciousness.
In the tent.
Barr snapped his eyes open.
At this time, his eyes had completely turned black, his body began to rise rapidly, sharp claws grew on his hands, and a large number of black scales appeared on his face, and quickly spread to all parts of his body, Baal's aura changed instantly, like a demon from the abyss.
Buzz~
The sea blue heart that Baal was wearing on his chest suddenly shone brightly, and the white energy visible to the naked eye frantically poured into his body, and the scales on Baal's face began to slowly fade, and his body gradually returned to normal.
For a moment, clarity regained in Barr's eyes
"He~He~"
Barr collapsed to the ground pale, beads of sweat sliding down his cheeks as if he had experienced a life-and-death battle.
Touching the heart of the ocean on his chest, Barr secretly rejoiced.
Just now, he vaguely felt a powerful surge of life energy into his body, and among all the items on his body, only the Heart of the Ocean contained this amazing life energy.
"Careless." Baal had palpitations, these black energies were so terrifying that they could directly invade his consciousness and make him lose his mind in an instant, if it weren't for the heart of the ocean, I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable.
Barr reloaded the energy harvester in his backpack.
He would never touch these weird black energies again until he had a full handle.
......
Bayou Town, Council Chamber.
It was late at night, and Tigerman Mayor Cornell was sitting alone at the table drinking sullen wine.
Syllable.
The wine glass slammed against the table.
"Damn the Minotaur, I'm going to make you pay." Cornell clenched his fists, he hadn't been so insulted since he became a lord.
Knock knock.
A tiger soldier ran in from outside.
"Didn't I say that no one is allowed to disturb me." Cornell said coldly.
Looking at the gloomy face of his own adult, the tiger man guard said tremblingly: "My lord, Mr. Shadow is here, and the others are outside the door now, saying that they have something important to look for you." β
If he hadn't known that Mr. Shadow had an unusual relationship with adults, he wouldn't have dared to come in at this time.
"Mr. Shadow, what is he doing here?"
After a moment's hesitation, Cornell ordered, "Please come in, sir." β
This Mr. Shadow has a mysterious background, and his background seems to be very unusual, he has provided him with a lot of help, and the relationship between the two is good, and it is not good for him to come to the door in person this time.
"Yes." The tiger soldiers immediately turned and left.
Soon.
"Hahaha, Lord Cornell, I heard that the town of Kawaguchi was attacked by monsters, and I rushed over as soon as I got the news, it seems that I was worried in vain." A middle-aged human in a black robe walked in with a smile.
"Thank you sir for your concern." Cornell stood up and said, "You may be seated." β
The two sat down separately.
"Mr. Shadow, I wonder if you came to me late at night, what was the matter?" Cornell wondered.
"It's not a big deal, but I just want to ask the lord to do me a small favor." Mr. Shadow continued.
"Oh."
"I heard that this time I followed the Minotaur Legion, there is a lord from Sea Blue Town, whose name is Baal, I wonder if the lord has any impressions?" Mr. Shadow asked.
"It seems that there is such a lord." Cornell looked up, "Sir, you're well-informed. β
"Where, where, it's just that I need this person's help with something, and I hope the lord can introduce it on my behalf." Cornell said that his current identity was nothing more than a human civilian, and the orc lord was not something he could see if he wanted to, but it was much easier to have Cornell's help.
"Thisβ" Connell frowned.
It's just a normal time, but now that he has just been humiliated by that Minotaur Wanfu, he really can't pull his face.
"Lord Cornell, as long as you are willing to help your brother with this, I can find a way to help you get the batch of goods you asked for last time." Mr. Shadow continued.
"Oh, really?" Cornell was a little moved.
His territory has now been upgraded to a third-level town, but it is not so easy to upgrade to a city.
Not only does he need to upgrade the basic buildings and recruit high-level sub-professional talents, but he also needs a large number of rare materials and several rare items, some of which are only produced in a few human kingdoms and are strictly controlled by various countries.
"Naturally, take it seriously." Mr. Shadow assured.
"Well, I'll visit the minotaur lord early tomorrow morning, and then the gentleman can come with me." Cornell said with a happy face.
"Then I'll wait for news from the lord." Mr. Shadow smiled and got up to leave.
"How could he be interested in a minotaur lord."
Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, Cornell shook his head, and didn't think much about it, but it was not a big deal to go to see the minotaur lord.
