"Hello? Purple Sun? Why should we hold our breath? The eagle followed me and asked why, and I pushed the door open and walked in.
This main reception room here is not only very large, but also has a small square-like artificial lawn at the back. I opened the door and went in and didn't see the delegates, there were only a dozen or so Dark Temple guards standing in the room, and the rest of the guards should have been taken to other rooms by our people, after all, it was impossible to bring hundreds of guards to negotiate with me at this time.
The crystal door on the opposite side of the room was open, and you could easily see three people standing by the water spring in the middle of the lawn outside. I glanced at the inside of the gym and walked towards the lawn, and the people outside all turned around when they saw me.
"President." The player in charge of the reception saw me and ran over.
"I'll take care of it here, you go out first."
The host player nodded and left, and I stopped in front of the two envoys, who were clearly human on the outside, but whose pale faces indicated that they were no longer alive. These two undead are a man and a woman, the woman's appearance is average, but the man is quite handsome, from the momentum of this man should be the main character, the woman is probably a follower or assistant or something.
"I'm sorry, there's been a delay." Be polite when you're late.
The two envoys didn't seem to care about my tardiness, and they cut straight to the point. "Purple Sun Commander, you are so bold, you haven't explained the destruction of the Dark Temple to the Temple yet, and now even the Demon Capital has been destroyed."
Hey! Arni is still the same Arni, and such an arrogant attitude can only be found by her subordinates. "What are these words, envoy? Ichengar was destroyed, but it wasn't what I wanted. Besides, as you can see, the new Issinger is almost finished. I don't understand what the temple means. ”
"Isinger and Mosan are two different concepts, please don't confuse them. Originally, after the original Esinger and the Demon Capital were completely destroyed, the one you rebuilt was only Esinger, and it was no longer the Demon Capital. ”
"Huh?" I was stunned by his words. Why does it sound like Isinger and the devil are not the same thing?
The woman said, "Haven't you seen the layout of Isengard's city before?" ”
"See, what's wrong?"
The female undead suddenly pulled a scroll from her robe and unfolded it in front of me. I'm fairly familiar with what is drawn on the reels. This is a top-down view of the old Issinger before it was destroyed. The woman tugged at both sides of the scroll, while the male envoy tapped his finger on the diagram a few times, and the dots turned into small red dots.
He explained: "Do you know what the location of these points of light represents? ”
Eagle and I both leaned in and took a closer look. "These seem to be the positions of the pillars that run through the city."
He nodded and said, "Have you seen these pillars before?" ”
I nodded and waited for him to continue, who knew that he would actually look at me and not speak. He waited for a while before continuing, "Don't you understand? ”
Eagle and I both shook our heads.
He seemed to be angry and began to draw with his fingers on the drawing, this time he drew a lot of complicated lines, some of which were arcs, but all of them passed through the first points. When he was done, he flashed to the side for me to see.
"Spirit Gathering Array?" The eagle and I cried almost at the same time.
I*! I finally know why Isinger is called the Demon Capital, it turns out that the whole city of Isinger is a giant undead transformation array. The dark cloud that lingered above Isengar was not what we had always thought of as a cloud of magic, it was a cloud of death, a cloud of resentment made up of powerful resentments.
Now it's finally clear. I understand a lot of things that I can't figure out. The last time we went to war with the Temple of Light, both the Dark Temple and the Dragons became our allies. The dragons had to participate in a decisive battle between themselves and the Temple of Light, but the reaction of the Temple of Darkness was quite strange. Although it can be said that the Dark Tongue Temple is to help us for profit, as long as you think about it carefully, in fact, the Dark Temple in that battle was to help us for profit, but as long as you think about it carefully, in fact, the Dark Temple did not benefit us at all in that battle. Isn't it strange that a few cities are not good at all for the Dark Temple, but in comparison, they are more invested, and the Dark Temple is willing to participate in this kind of obviously loss-making business?
At that time, I thought that the Dark Temple wanted to slap us, and Ling was Arni's sister after all, and she was making an emotional investment, so I thought that her behavior was relatively simple, just pursuing long-term interests, but now I completely understand that she is indeed pursuing long-term interests, but not the interests I thought.
Arni had originally planned a grand battle between the two sides in Isengard, so that a large number of creatures would die near Isengar in the end, and the super spirit gathering array of Isengar could ensure that none of these dead souls could enter heaven, and all of them would be transformed into undead or dark energy. For the Dark Temple, the more undead they are, the stronger their power becomes, and compared to the Light Temple, which needs believers, they need the undead and dark energy more, which is the real reason why the Dark Temple helps us fight.
I said why I blew up the Dark Temple, and Al Ni didn't take revenge on me, the system limit time has long passed, according to her character, she shouldn't have come to me for so long not to trouble, even if it is not a direct conflict, she should at least give us some small means. Now it's clear that the reason she didn't retaliate against me was because she felt that she had earned enough this time and didn't want to worry about those petty profits with me.
The strong have their own strong hands, and a mountain is higher than a mountain. I always thought that I was already a conspirator, and compared to Arni, I was like a child player with wine, and she sold it and was still helping her count the money! In the past, the intelligence of NPCs in online games was too low and was always played by players, but "Zero" has changed NPCs to play players.
Wait a minute. It seemed as if I had been led into a trap again, and what was the reason for Arni suddenly having people tell me this secret? Because you can't hide it? No, it's not that simple.
Arni should know our guild's strategic prediction ability very well, although I was calculated by her, but because she is too slippery, it's not that I'm not smart, and besides, the IQs of Hongyue and Sumei are not ordinary, such a powerful think tank shouldn't be continuously calculated, as long as Arni has a little brain, it is impossible to use the same method to calculate us continuously, so revealing this news is not to calculate me, her real purpose is ......? Could it be a stone throwing to ask for directions?
Absolutely. She was testing my reactions, she wanted to know if I had fallen to the second force, Arni must have wanted to get me back under her control, she had to try my reactions first. This kind of high-end mind-reading is something that cannot be conveyed by a third party, and unless Arni can see my reaction, the plan is completely meaningless. But how would she see my reaction?
Using Recording Magic? No way. The reception room is a forbidden space, and no magic items are used. Then the only possibility is...... I suddenly said silently to the phantom in my heart, "Look with the eyes of the mind who is staring at us in the room behind us." ”
"Nope."
"No?"
"Yes. Those people didn't pay attention to us. Now the only ones who are watching us are these two envoys. ”
"Envoy?" I see. This woman is not an assistant at all, she is Arni, the temple representative does not need so many people at all, bringing more attendant guards can be considered to be a score, but it is obvious and logical to bring a strange assistant. In fact, the Dark Temple and we know each other very well, and we all know it very well. The music is to scare those who are not in the know, and there is no point in putting the music between us at all. So the reason why so many powers came was not because the Dark Temple wanted to put on a show at all, but because the goddess was in the team, they had to send more people to ensure safety. Migalha at the Temple of Light is not a goddess in the proper sense of the word. Of course she can run around, but Arni's status is unquestionable. She didn't care herself, and there was no way that those elders and the like in the temple would let her run out alone without the guards. It's like an ancient emperor, even if he was a martial arts master, the ministers wouldn't let him travel alone.
Arni dared to run to Isengard. Okay, you just pretend, since you want to see my position, then let you see enough.
"Commander of the Purple Sun?" The male envoy couldn't help but ask when he saw that I hadn't moved for a long time.
"Huh?" I suddenly regained my normalcy. "It seems that the picture on this picture is a very high-level spirit gathering array, could it be that Isinger has always been ghostly."
The envoy immediately said, "It's good that you understand." , The three important cities of the Dark Temple all have a similar effect, and now one has been destroyed, and our overall formation is in trouble, which will seriously affect our development, do you have any thoughts on this? ”
"I can understand the destruction of Issinger, it's a loss, but it's not enough to affect the overall development, right? Isn't that an exaggeration? ”
Arni disguised as a female envoy said, "Do you have a map of China?" ”
"Do you want a big one or a small one?"
"Big, it has to be big enough."
"Then come with me."
I took the two of them and Eagle to our guild's map room, and although the map on the floor of the conference room was the most detailed and large, it marked many of the secrets of our guild, and it would be troublesome for them to see them.
When we walked out of the gate, the guards tried to follow, but I pushed the guard at the front: "You'd better not follow here." ”
"We will keep the envoy safe." The head of the guard replied coldly.
"I know, but it's my territory, and I'm in charge of everything. It's absolutely safe here, and you don't have to worry about anything wrong with your envoys. The place we're going to is also a confidential warehouse, and it's not convenient for you to come with it. ”
"We want to protect the envoys." The guards didn't back down, and the man in front of him didn't talk at all, and he was looking at me with a joke.
Okay, since you want to see the excitement, let you just watch it. I first used a private chat to bring Vena to help, and then suddenly became loud and scolded: "If I say no, I can't, don't talk nonsense with me." You are envoys, don't be ashamed. ”
My attitude changed so quickly that these people were a little stunned, but they reacted quickly. The voice of the head of the guard was also noticeably louder. "Goddess Arni is the common god of our dark forces, and her envoys are her representatives, and we are to protect them with the belief that we protect the goddess. As the Dark Warlord, you should cooperate with our actions. ”
"You're ......!" I suddenly realized that I wasn't tall enough, and I wasn't strong enough to face this guy. After looking around, he ran to the side, moved a sculpture to the ground, and then moved the pedestal in front of the guy and put it down. I stood on the pedestal and was a lot taller than this guy, and then bent over and scolded condescendingly in the posture of an adult training a child. "Don't move to the temple of the goddess. I tell you that I, the commander-in-chief, am an honorary commander-in-chief, and we do not have any direct relationship. And Isengar is not the property of the Dark Temple, it is mine, do I understand? Not to mention the two envoys, even if Arni himself came, I had the final say. You're just a little Captain Shi Wei and dare to stand up to me? Do you have enough soul for me to collect? Beware, I let the fire of life turn you to dust. When I returned, I told Arni that the goddess here was Vina, the god of chaos and order. Oste, the second religion here is Taoism, you are only the third, don't always treat us as obedient people, sue you, Lao Tzu, I was born as a bandit! "That guy was completely scolded by me for being stupid, and even the two envoys behind me didn't move.
Call! After scolding people, the whole body was refreshed. Ha ha! It looks like it's working well, and the front court is scolded for being stupid. I jumped down from the stone platform, put it away, and moved the sculpture back to the platform. Turning back, he patted the two envoys. "Let's go."
Although the passage just now was directed at the guards. But I actually scolded Arni, who was disguised as an envoy. The purpose of her coming this time was not to gather the spirit array at all. Now that Isinger has her own religion, even if the Spirit Gathering Array is rebuilt, it won't bring any benefit to the Dark Temple, she just wants to see my position on the Dark Temple, and I am now taking the opportunity to scold the guards to sue her, we don't take the Dark Temple seriously at all, there is chaos and order with God and the Chinese Heavenly Court to support me, I don't need any Dark Temple.
It may have been that my words were too shocking, and neither Arni nor the male envoy reacted. I went over and patted them for a while before I came to my senses. The guard in the back thought about it and was going to follow, but Arni's hand gestured below, and he immediately stopped, and I saw Arni's small movements but didn't expose them. What I said just now was to stimulate the Dark Temple, but the most important thing was to let the Dark Temple* come up. Without the Temple of Light, there is no way to stabilize the Temple of Light, and once the balance is crooked, it will not be so easy to straighten it again. I don't want the balance of power in China, which I've worked so hard to maintain, end up like this, so I can safely stimulate Ah Yuni now, but I must not reveal her identity.
"This way." I carried them on, each thinking about their own thoughts. To be honest, I don't like to always calculate others, but with Arni and don't bother to calculate, she will be calculated, there is really no way!
When I got to the drawing room, I asked the caretaker to take a large map of China down from the shelf and pounce on the dedicated map display table. "What did you just show me, now sue me?"
Arni said, "Do you know the specific locations of those cities controlled by the Dark Temple? ”
I nodded and turned to the caretaker and said, "Bring the power of the Dark Temple, Montu, and ask for a standard scale." ”
The Administrator quickly handed over a clear piece of sequin paper. I unfolded this transparent paper and covered it on the map, and there were many red dots drawn on this transparent paper, and they represented the city controlled by the Dark Temple. In addition to these dots, the area around the map is translucent red, centered on these dots, and this red area is the sphere of influence.
The male envoy asked, "Is it okay to draw some marks on this?" ”
I nodded, "It's okay, we have a lot of this." ”
The male envoy used a red pen to draw a large number of bold lines on the cellophane on it, like the top view of Issinger at the beginning, after these dots were connected, it turned out to be a magic circle, and this magic circle covered almost all of China, even a few small countries near our country.
"What kind of circle is this?" Eagle asked.
Although we can be sure that this is a magic array, we are not NPCs, and we basically can't remember the more characteristic ones of the spirit gathering array, and this seems to be particularly complicated.
The envoy explained: "This is the Reverse Soul Array, all the cities of the Dark Temple are hidden in the Spirit Gathering Array like Isengard, and most of the souls absorbed by these formations have been converted into pure dark energy, except for a few who have particularly strong willpower. These energies will be gradually gathered to this central point through the guò large array, and then the soul energy will be reversed into a complete physical body through the guò reverse soul array. ”
I noticed the center point, it seemed to be a no-man's land. "Is there any point in transforming the soul into a body?"
"It means a lot." The envoy said, "Flesh shaped by the forces of darkness is a real creature at the same time as it is dark, so they are not afraid of the forces of light." ”
Eagle next to him said in surprise: "Isn't that a 100% anti-demon creature with all attributes ineffective?" ”
It suddenly occurred to me that dragons seemed to be such soul-to-body creatures, so all dragons' magical resistance was almost full. The dragon egg of the dragon clan is actually a dragon soul, and the long incubation period is just the process of transforming the soul into a physical body. Because the eggs contain intact souls, dragons basically have memories before they break their shells, like Plague and Lucky remember a lot of things before they hatched.
If the Dark Temple wants to convert soul energy into flesh in batches, isn't that what they are creating an incomparably powerful anti-demon army? When I thought about the meaning of this, I was surprised to look at the line Al Ni, and she was actually looking at me with a smile.
"I know you've guessed who I am, so let's stop playing dumb riddles with each other, let's just do it." Arni snapped her fingers, and a black mist flashed from her, and when the mist cleared, Arni appeared in front of me in her true form.
"Arni?" The eagle took three steps back in fright and sat down on the ground.
"Yo! Why don't you come and say hello to my host when the guests arrive? "Vena is really stuck, and she actually stepped on this juncture to arrive.
"Isn't this the daughter of the expelled House of Oster? I didn't expect that now I can also stand on my own, and I actually learned to raise a little white face. "Arni is not a soft persimmon, but this woman is too unruly!
"Hey! Do you pay attention to what you say? "Arni's words just now obviously brought me in, so I don't come out to say what I can do.
"Just kidding, don't be so stingy?"
"The Oster family, is you a stinking yellow-haired girl who can joke around?" Vader actually followed, and he was much hotter than Vina, drawing his sword as he approached Arni.
The male envoy suddenly shook his sleeve, and a rune sword slipped out. "Be respectful to Her Highness the Goddess." This guy is a personal guard.
Vader went up and shook the guy back three steps with a single sword, and finally was quietly helped by Arni to stabilize his body. Vader is also Vina's younger brother, Xiaozao is definitely going to be opened, and his strength is naturally not the same as before. Vader is also a person who knows how to measure, and he didn't press forward after shaking off his opponent with a sword. "Where did the little kid come out? Is the Dark Temple deserted now? ”
"Who are you?" The guard posing as an envoy asked in surprise.
"I'm Vader. Oster, commander of the Seventh Legion. When I followed Marshal Clark to fight the country, you didn't know where to look at the gate! ”
Water oh to this Vida does have capital. He was already working as a blacksmith in the Lost City when I met him, but the news I received from Domingue and the Lost Locks was true many times that Clark was once the Dark Temple's supreme military commander and commanded the ten legions of the Dark Temple. Domingue and Vader were both legion commanders in those days, and they were all younger brothers who followed Clark, and they also became high-level figures after Clark retired, but now Vader is no longer a subordinate of the temple, but in terms of qualifications, he is indeed much older than this guy.
