Chapter 41: Thirty Difficult Days (8)
Chen Kai and the others didn't know that their whereabouts had been discovered, and at this moment, they watched Fei Yun investigate the situation outside like thieves. (If you like this book, please bookmark it biquge.info) 3∴35686688 until it was determined that the number of demons below had been greatly reduced and the patrol time had been extended to two or three times the original time, they began to assemble the magic array.
The patched magic array stone slabs were spliced together by them little by little, and the ceiling above their heads became the best stone slab joints. Although there is no superglue like 502 in the game, there are various more powerful adhesives that penetrate magical power. Originally, He Liwen used this adhesive to release the spider web technique, but Chen Kai and the others now use it to bond the magic array stone slab and ceiling. Of course, this kind of bonding will only last for a period of time at most, and once the magic aura is used with the slate magic array, the agitation of energy will cause the adhesive to dry and crack, and eventually make the slate completely fall off. Therefore, after gluing all the stone slabs, Xu Fei will use rock strengthening to completely combine the stone slabs with the ceiling to which it is attached.
It's just that Xu Fei is just an arcane mage after all, although he can use magic scrolls to release spells, but the power of spells is obviously lower than that of Zodiac, an earth element mage. In particular, it is even more troublesome to thoroughly strengthen and combine the two stones that have been glued together, because the stone slab exposed to the outermost part is not nothing, but has a very important magic array. If the stone slab cracks when the backlog is hardened, then Xu Fei's trouble will be big. The most important point is that even if the structure of the slab is not damaged when hardening the slab, if there are ups and downs between the two slabs due to the hardening, once the magic array is activated, the curved magic array line will explode instantly.
Therefore, Xu Fei was very careful when using spells, he constantly used detection spells to probe the gaps between the stone slabs, and others helped him measure the height difference between the two stone slabs. Because a scroll only lasts for more than ten seconds at most, this is an extremely terrifying and energy-consuming, and most importantly a process that tests the power of control. In order to achieve the most accurate control, Xu Fei directly expanded the enveloping range of a spell to the range of half a magic array. In this way, the explosion magic array and the rock ceiling can be combined tightly enough, and at the same time, it can also ensure that the direct height difference of the magic array stone slab is almost uniform. Because the force they receive is the same, at the same time, squeezing with a spell can make Xu Fei's control complete, ensuring that the force is evenly affected everywhere. The only trouble is that he needs to pay more mana, and after a spell, Xu Fei's mana value is less than a hundred points, and then he has to quickly burrow into the tent to rest. Of course, he didn't just want to recover his mana, but also to avoid being detected by the demons, because the strong earth elemental fluctuations when the rock enhancement technique was released were too strong.
However, what made Chen Kai and them feel strange was that until the magic array was completely repaired, they did not see a single demon to inspect the temple, and in the end, not only the patrolling demons were gone, but even the occasional child in the temple disappeared. As if the entire temple had been completely forgotten, Chen Kai felt very strange about this phenomenon, but they were not dissatisfied but extremely happy. This kind of happiness is based on ignorance of the outside world, and sometimes ignorance is not only not a burden, but a kind of happiness.
Chen Kai and the others didn't know that when they were repairing the magic array, the situation in the entire Khedira had undergone extremely strange changes, and the first change was Mark Hedi, who was regarded as the patron saint of the human race. He announced that he would no longer subsidize the families of children with deformities or demonization, and instead implemented a child assistance program to take all children from their parents and raise them together. Although this move caused a certain amount of separation of flesh and blood, it protected some children who were treated from another angle, and at the same time posed an extremely powerful threat to those rice worms who sucked the blood of their children. In Khedira, many families have their source of income from these strange-looking children, and some families deliberately expose pregnant women to evil forces during pregnancy in order to obtain relief from Mark Hedi, thus giving birth to deformed children. These families used to be considered unfortunate in the past, but as the horrific events were exposed, the entire Khedira fell silent for a while.
In just one day, more than fifty human males were forcibly dragged away because they could not tell where their children were, and by the time they did, they had been hung from the pillars outside Khedira, among many hanged corpses. There are also many Khedira's demons who have also become hanged corpses, because they secretly buy and sell many deformed children from the hanged humans, and starve them to death as soul nourishment to nourish themselves. The death of these demons greatly shocked the forces that were about to move, and the most important thing was that they suddenly discovered that the City Lord's Mansion and the ** Division Tower, which were originally not very opposed, now had a tendency to unite with each other. The demons were most feared about this, because they knew too well the power of the Mage Tower, and the Mage Tower, which controlled the entire Khedira's food and water resources, was definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Although the demons knew that the Mage Tower had just experienced a civil strife, and a large number of mages who had been pampered with or seduced by the demons had been purged, even the loss of the Mage Tower was still a force to be reckoned with. As long as those ** divisions are still around, Khedira's mage tower will not fall, and now the mage tower has another powerful ally. An ally who once almost broke up and now came back together, the most powerful warrior of the Khedira, a strong man who can crush the entire Khedira demon alone. In the face of the alliance between the City Lord's Mansion and the ** Division Tower, perhaps the most excited are the humans of Khedira, but it is a pity that Mark Hedi's first decree has given some humans who are determined to be rice worms a blow to the head. Originally, they thought that they could go back to the days when there was plenty of relief, but as time went on, they suddenly realized that the current city lord was no longer helping them. No matter how they wandered around outside the City Lord's Mansion, none of them came out to give alms, and Mark Hedi was no longer carrying out flour delivery activities.
Some of the people who wandered around the city lord's mansion with hungry stomachs were really poor, they were skinny and hardly had much flesh on their bodies, and for such people, although Mark Hedi wanted to help, he still suppressed that urge under the persuasion of several old mages in the mage tower. By the time Chen Kai and the others finished repairing the magic array, there were no more yellow-skinned poor people outside the entire City Lord's Mansion, and some were just those unemployed people with strong brains and strong bodies. They have been relying on Mark Hedi's relief to survive, and now Mark Hedi's interrupted relief is fine for a day or two, and when three or four days have passed, these rice worms who have eaten up food will begin to be unable to survive. They began to slowly gather outside the gates of the City Lord's Mansion, hoping that Mark Hedi would be able to distribute food under their hungry eyes, and some of them had even thought of the name of the operation. In their eyes, they were petitioning above board, asking the lord of the city to distribute the food that should be given to them.
A large number of people gathered at the door of Mark Hedi's mansion, looking at the men in the light curtain who were eating stronger than him, Mark Hedi's hand clenched the hilt of his sword tightly. Sitting in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, he would have such actions every day in the past few days, because this was the day when his spirit was hit the most. Originally, he thought that he was a good lord, at least he had done his duty to the humans of Khedira, but as the events that seemed extremely terrible to him were exposed to him, he suddenly found that he didn't know those humans who were supposed to be kind and simple. Greed, selfishness, shamelessness, and a series of terrible emotions and thoughts are constantly exposed to Mark Hedi, and in his opinion, these things should only exist in the demons, because in his heart he has always thought that human beings should be the most kind and gentle beings. But now those people outside the City Lord's Mansion are gradually subverting his thousand-year-old cognition, as if in the past few days, the human race of Khedira has exposed all the inferior nature of thousands of years to Mark Hedi.
"Father, what should I do?" For the first time, Mark Hedy felt lost, and he looked at the portrait across the long table, and for the first time he felt how stupid it was to want to sell it for money to buy flour. At this time when he felt helpless in his heart, this oil painting with his father's portrait became his only sustenance.
While Mark Hedi was staring at the oil painting in a daze, the old mage Sauron kept paying attention to a magic circle with a light curtain. This magic array is very attributed, and it is better to say that it is a magic array than a magic amplification array. For the first time, this magic circle, which had been stored on the high platform outside the ruined temple of Khedira, showed its former appearance for the first time, and Master Zoro had also climbed the high platform to observe this magic array when he was young, and also repaired some of the formation maps. But he never restored it completely, because the High Platform Magic Array had not been completely destroyed, so it had remained in its gray, black and dilapidated appearance for thousands of years. However, now this magic circle emitted a faint silver glow from time to time, if it wasn't for the fact that Chen Kai's tent and floor were blocked underneath, maybe the demons entering and leaving the temple could easily see the changes overhead.
Looking at the bright light of the magic array, Master Zoro kept nodding, in his heart, the mage who repaired the magic array was definitely an apprentice with very solid knowledge of spells, and there was even a faint urge in his heart to accept the other party as a student. After all, in his opinion, the other party is an arcane master like himself, even if the other party is a mage from the original continent, there should not be much difference in the spell system, at least he can still become the other party's mentor in some aspects. It's a pity that he still doesn't know the name of the other party, and there is no way to even go to the other party, because the situation in Khedira has not been completely settled, at least until those who are looking for the holy lake return. In the same way, when the seekers of the holy lake return with the water, then the thousand-year-old city of Khedira will usher in a new reshuffle. The final hand may not be better than it is now, and it may become even better, and even the entire human race of Khedira will become servants of the devil or enslaved.
In fact, in the opinion of Sauron**Master, the humans of Khedira are almost on the verge of becoming slaves of demons, because many humans have lost the spirit of resistance. In fact, Master Zoro never showed some pictures to Mark Hedi, and he was worried that the other party, who had been severely beaten, would not be able to stand the shameful servile side of his people. It's just that he soon found that his worries were a little redundant, because Mark Hedi had adapted to the situation in almost a short time, and his eyes no longer became confused but more reflective. He was reflecting on the decrees he had made, on what he had done wrong, and for Khedira to be in this situation.
In the end, he realized that he didn't seem to have done anything wrong, and the only problem might be letting the demons take over the city guards, but Mark Hedi was now powerless to change the situation, as he only had enough money to maintain the city lord's guards. If it were more, he wouldn't be able to pay a single salary, even if he had stolen the property of the hanged demons. After all, the demons that have been exposed now have been thrown out as substitutes for the dead, and many of the demons who have really committed crimes have not been caught at all, and they escaped from Khedira through various channels before Mark Hedi captured the criminals. They were ready to wait until the rumors passed to sneak into the city again, but they didn't know that when they escaped from the city, it would be very difficult to enter the city again, and this was definitely good news for Chen Kai and them. The fewer demons there are for them, the safer they are, and the more likely they are to complete their mission.
It's just that Chen Kai, whose scope of activity has always been limited to the ruined temple, doesn't know about the changes in the situation in the city, and the only thing that makes them happy is that the demons come to the temple less often, and by the seventh day, there was hardly a demon patrolling for the whole day. This was definitely good news for Chen Kai and the others, as it meant that they could climb off the roof and walk around the temple. Although it was safe to huddle in a tent on the roof of the temple all day, not being able to move for a long time made several people feel that their bones were itching all over their bodies, and if it weren't for the fear that the sound of the fight would attract demons. Chen Kai and the others really wanted to defend and fight in the hall of the temple, of course, this kind of fight was a practice duel with the meaning of competition.
As Chen Kai and the others shrank in the temple, the situation in Khedira continued to change, and the residents of Khedira who had gathered at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion saw their trusted Patronus raise their butcher's knives for the first time. Most of the thousands of people who tried to storm the city lord's mansion to snatch food were killed by Mark Hedi's sword, although there were many real poor people, but more of them were rice worms who had been relieved by Mark Hedi. Because when attacking the City Lord's Mansion, the poor people did not have the strength to squeeze into the City Lord's Mansion, and most of the deaths among them were due to the accidental injuries caused by the crowd trampling after Mark Hedi became angry.
However, after this killing, the aura of Mark Hedi's good man began to fade among the civilians, and was replaced by the title of Murder Demon. People no longer smiled like him, for Mark Hedi now looked more like a demon than a man. It's a pity that they don't think about who stormed the city lord's mansion in the first place to get food, and what such an act means to Khedira. Those who thought of Mark Hedi as a demon were afraid of him, because they had ghosts or guilt in their hearts, and some of them had strange looks. But no matter what the situation is, it doesn't matter to the city lord of Khedira at this moment, because he only cares about the situation of those children, and he took action to kill the violent crowd at the gate of the city lord's mansion not because they were robbing food, but because those people took the food that should have belonged to the children. This situation made Mark Hurdy unable to bear it any longer, and under the helpless eyes of several ** divisions, he made a move, and as soon as he shot, it was a terrifying sword pressure. After a single sword, the entire gate of the City Lord's Mansion became a hell, and a large number of broken corpses were scattered on the ground, and the red blood completely stained the ground black and purple.
"Father, I didn't do anything wrong," looking at the lovely smiles of those children, Mark Hedi said to himself, in his opinion, those adults were completely hopeless. Only these poor children are Khedira's hope, so he doesn't care what the adults in the Khedira human race think of him, he just needs the approval of these children, and these Khedira's future recognition.
The days continued to move forward, and on the tenth day, Chen Kai and the tent where they lived ushered in the first guest, but this guest was not invited by them, but uninvited. When he appeared, several people were not fully awake, and they didn't even have time to react.
"Hello outsiders, I'm the ** master Sauron? Kesai is very happy to see you" Looking at the old mage in front of him who was wearing a ** division robe, but looked extremely weird and terrifying, Chen Kai felt that he felt as if he was not seeing a person, but a being who was more terrifying than a demon. If Mark Hedi, who has seen Zoro countless times, has been with each other for hundreds of years, and even knew each other when he was wearing open crotch pants, he doesn't have much idea about the appearance of the old mage, then Chen Kai and his party who saw each other for the first time are definitely more afraid than surprised. Although the appearance of the old mage cannot be said to be earth-shattering, it is enough to stop children from crying and make the faint-hearted lose their voices. His cheeks, sewn together with various silk threads, seemed to be made up of patchwork of leather, and on this eerie cheek was a left eye that glowed red, and on the right was a right eye that emitted flames. Needless to say, the horns on his head were definitely more demon-like than human-like.
"Hello Master Master, is there anything you are looking for us?" Chen Kai replied to the other party's words with courage, and he used his body to cover Chen Yi behind him. Although the tent was only opened with a small slit, Chen Kai was still worried that the divine power on Chen Yi's body would make the other party perceive. Especially when you don't know who you are, it's definitely not a good thing to be discovered by a character who looks more like a demon than a human.
