Chapter 98: General Estes' fiancé
Hearing a pleasant voice in his ears, Xia Xuan turned his head to look and saw that the goddess of knowledge was still standing quietly beside him as before.
Then Xia Xuan was stunned, because at this time, the clothes on the goddess of knowledge had completely changed. The goddess of knowledge's original white robe engraved with mysterious Chinese has been transformed into a black official uniform of the Eastern Xia Empire. And the bright silver hair that was originally spread out was tied up in a high ponytail, and the beautiful face that seemed to be in the world was completely exposed.
The black military uniform and high ponytail add a bit of majesty to the goddess of knowledge's originally intellectual and ethereal temperament. At this moment, the goddess of knowledge no longer feels illusory and unattainable as before. Now she is more like a person than a god.
Seeing Xia Xuan's expression, the corners of the goddess of knowledge's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a good-looking smile. Then he straightened his waist, put his left hand on his back, and put his right hand into a fist in front of the bulging fierce, and said, "See, Your Majesty." ”
"What are you?" Xia Xuan was a little confused, what is the goddess of knowledge?
The goddess of knowledge did not answer, but raised her hands, looked at her clothes with a satisfied smile and asked: "Your Majesty, I think the military uniform of the empire should be improved, it is too small here, it makes me a little bored." ”
Goddess of Knowledge, what's wrong with this, it's changed so much. Affected by the dice of fate? As she said earlier, all the gifts from fate have already been marked with a price behind them.
Could it be that the wish of [I hope that this child Leah can quickly become a sage] has made the goddess of knowledge reach a critical point in her endurance, and she will be controlled by the dice of fate like an evil god. This doesn't seem right, if the goddess of knowledge is really controlled by the dice of fate, then she should have sided with the evil god by now.
All kinds of thoughts kept coming to Xia Xuan's mind.
The goddess of knowledge saw Xia Xuan's doubts, and said in an ethereal voice: "Your Majesty, I am not controlled by the dice of fate, on the contrary, I have begun to gradually get rid of its influence on me. ”
As soon as the words fell, the most powerful evil gods on the Chaos side and the remaining four goddesses on the Order side, who were silent just now, set their eyes on the goddess of knowledge at the same time.
After the end of that war, the world was divided into three, and the remaining gods were trapped on the Starlight Chessboard, forced to play a winner-only game. Perhaps at the beginning of the game, most gods were ambitious to win the game. But as the game progresses, and as the evil gods are constantly controlled by the dice of fate, all the gods are aware of the problem.
The biggest enemy of this game is not the other gods, but the dice of fate that hang over the starlight board all the time. With each wish they make, the power of the dice of fate enters them, and this power increases as their desire increases. When this power breaks through their endurance, they will no longer be themselves.
The world is the plate, and all beings are the sons.
Seeing the state of the goddess of knowledge, her rich expression, and that emotional expression. The most powerful evil gods on the Chaos side and the remaining four goddesses on the Order side had a faint guess in their hearts.
The goddess of knowledge did not answer everyone's puzzled gazes, raised her hand to the dice of fate, and shook it gently.
The huge dice of fate in the sky disappeared, and a miniature version of the dice of fate appeared in the slender hand of the goddess of knowledge.
Looking at the dice of fate in her hand, the silver eyes of the goddess of knowledge became deeper and deeper, and the ethereal voice sounded on the boundless starlight chessboard: "The god who holds fate in his hand is just a poor worm held by fate." ”
Throw the dice in your hand, and the dice of fate fall on the starlight board and start rolling.
Click......
【326】
Although what the goddess of knowledge said just now was very sad, seeing this number, Xia Xuan's face sank.
Ten minutes later, all the people who made the wish threw the dice, and this time Xia Xuan was still the one who threw the lowest number, only [60]. And whether it is an evil god or a goddess, the number thrown by each of their gods generally reaches 130.
Xia Xuan didn't care about this situation at all! After all, he is not like these gods. The gods are throwing down the dice, and I'm a white prostitute, and it's understandable that the score is a little lower, which should be the reason why the numbers I throw are always low.
Of course, none of the above is important, the most important thing is that Xia Xuan got two pictures through this dice roll.
In the first picture, a tumor-shaped lump of flesh appears on the crimson earth. This flesh devours everything, whether it's plants, stones, or dirt...... And so on everything is in its recipes. After these green tumors swelled to more than a hundred meters, they began to appear cracks, and tens of thousands of goblins emerged from them.
In the second picture, a sea of magma is made up entirely of magma, and humanoid fire spirits begin to be born.
He used the World Destroyer to cripple the Chaos side in one fell swoop, and then coerced and lured the Ten Kingdoms into submission, successfully unifying the entire continent in terms of public opinion. However, even so, the Eastern Xia Empire did not feel that it had won, but the volume of this game was infinitely higher. Rise from several medieval continental nations to wars between several planets.
The only thing the Eastern Xia Empire has to do now is to research the portal technology as soon as possible, and then build the portal to connect to the other two planets. Slaughter all civilized life on these two planets, leaving the gods with no chance of turning the tables around.
After the dice were rolled, silence returned to the Starlight board. The gods, who have lived for at least hundreds of thousands of years, have nothing to say at all, silence is the theme here.
Xia Xuan closed his eyes, controlled his consciousness to break away from the starlight chessboard, and returned to the second body of Base 0.
After seeing Xia Xuan disappear, the goddess of knowledge smiled slightly, and said in a cheerful tone: "Your Majesty, we will really meet in a while." ”
At this moment, the dice of fate hanging high above the starlight chessboard suddenly trembled. A red light of madness and destruction appeared beneath the dice of fate, and then shattered the space.
Such a change quickly attracted the attention of the gods, and the goddess of knowledge, the three evil gods with the strongest strength in the chaos camp, and the four goddesses of the order camp also broke through the spatial crack with their eyes, and looked at the breath of the red light just now.
They saw a dense forest, and a red light appeared out of thin air, burrowing into a mosquito in the grass.
The next moment, the mosquito's body instantly turned red, and the original ordinary mosquito exuded an aura of madness and destruction.
At the moment when the mosquitoes had just changed, the whole forest suddenly went dark. The originally cloudless blue sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and lightning shuttled through the dark clouds.
Bang!
In the next moment, a huge lightning bolt from a distance of more than ten meters was inserted into the dense forest like a sharp sword. The lightning struck the red mosquito with precision.
In the raging lightning, the mosquitoes disappeared in an instant, and there was not even a bit of scum left.
Seeing this scene, the gods turned their eyes back one after another. Both the Chaos camp and the Order camp feel that they are beginning to understand the world and the game.
They had known for a long time that there was something wrong with this Dice of Destiny, but in the past, the Dice of Fate would only affect reality in secret. There will be no direct intervention in reality or even breaking the rules of the game as it is now.
At the same time, it was the first time they saw the world consciousness directly attack, and the reaction was so fierce.
The goddess of knowledge was not surprised by the scene just now, and looked up at the dice of fate above, her eyes full of mockery, and said: "All the gifts from fate have already been marked with prices behind them. But fate has apparently forgotten that all gifts from the world are also marked with a price. ”
Then the goddess of knowledge turned her head to look at the four goddesses of the order camp, and said with a smile: "How do you think about it clearly?" I've proven the viability of this path, and the 5 of us have been together for so long, and I hope it will continue to be so in the future. ”
"You're crazy." The High God shook his head, "If you weaken your divinity like this, sooner or later you will fall into a person and cease to be a god." ”
"No longer for God, then no longer for God." The goddess of knowledge said indifferently, "For me, becoming a god is just a bonus on the path of pursuing truth, and it is dispensable. ”
"I never thought of myself as a god, I was just a seeker of truth all along. Now God is in the way, so don't do it. ”
After speaking, the crimson cracks on the beautiful face of the goddess of knowledge began to heal, and at the same time, the divine light on her body gradually became faint.
The Supreme God took a deep look at the goddess of knowledge whose humanity overpowered the divinity, and said, "Your method is too crazy, although it can get us out of this cage, but it will also make us lose our personality, this method is too dangerous. ”
"If there is any danger, the Eastern Xia Empire will protect us." The goddess of knowledge stretched out her hand and conjured a black military hat and put it on her head, dressed as a female officer of the Eastern Xia Empire. "Sure enough, the hat is the soul."
The Supreme God frowned slightly, and said, "You should know that the words of humans are the most untrustworthy, if they aim their weapons at you, you who are no longer gods are a lamb to the slaughter." ”
"No, they won't." The goddess of knowledge shook her head.
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because ......" the goddess of knowledge raised her right hand and pointed her index finger at her temple. I have knowledge, and I can feel that the Eastern Xia Empire is a country thirsty for knowledge. Everyone in this country respects knowledge and craves it, so they will protect me. ”
"They are people who follow the truth just like me, and I am amazed by their knowledge called science. It turns out that I can still see the world and study the truth from this perspective, and I like their science. A sunny smile appeared on the beautiful face of the goddess of knowledge, and at this moment, she was getting farther and farther away from God, and closer and closer to man.
…………
At base 0, Xia Xuan, who was sitting in an office chair, slowly opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his black eyes, "Xia Soul, inform the biological research to implement the Goblin Killer Plan as soon as possible." ”
Due to the consideration of the need to use drones to fight in the future, the Eastern Xia Empire replaced the Qingfeng weak artificial intelligence used by the development legion at the beginning with Xia Soul.
[Yes, do your will]
"Whew...... It's a little out of breath. Xia Xuan said to himself, and then picked up the various documents on the table and flipped through them.
Goblin Slayer plans to drop the Goblin Virus on the Green Star. Since goblins have the same body structure as humans, most viruses that work against humans also work on goblins.
Immune to moral condemnation, the scientists of the Eastern Xia Empire began to let themselves go. Using a variety of monster toxins that were not available in the original world, plus the original biological viruses, a more perverted pair of goblin viruses was made. There are even countless improved versions in the future, aiming for all the goblins on the Green Star to be quickly reincarnated. Of course, they don't guarantee that they will actually be reincarnated, but they absolutely guarantee that they will be 100% deadly.
…………
Slash the Crimson Pupil World, in the forest 13 kilometers east of the imperial capital.
In a clearing in the forest, there is an extra wooden house of more than 500 square meters at some point, which is a new base for night raids.
At this time, ten people had gathered in the hall of the wooden house, divided into original members and new members.
Original members: White-haired Najehetan, the strongest killer Red Hitomi, pink-haired tsundere double ponytail Mayne, Lion Lady Leonai, Plane Head Brand, Purple Hairy Hill, and Green Haired Labock. If you add the humanoid emperor Susanoo that Najehitan just got from the revolutionary army, it will add up to the colorful warband.
New additions: Tazmi's childhood sweethearts, Shayu and Iyeas, arrive from the Revolutionary Army to support Chelsea, who has orange hair.
"Guys, now we're having one of the worst problems we've ever had with our night raids." As the leader, Najehitan sat on the main seat and said with an unusually serious expression. "This issue could lead to the dissolution of the night raid."
Seeing the leader's serious expression, everyone became nervous, and their eyes were fixed on Najeshitan.
"The problem is that in the past month, we have not received any assassination commissions for night raids, which means that we may be unemployed."
???
After listening, everyone's faces were full of question marks. It's made the atmosphere so serious, just to say this?!
"That's it?" Leonay covered her face, "I thought it was something very serious. ”
"Really, Najehitan likes to be scary all day long." Ma Yin was equally speechless
"Haha, didn't I do it to liven up the atmosphere?" Najehitan reached out and touched her mechanical arm, "And I'm telling the truth." ”
"Because the assassination force sent by the Eastern Xia Empire is constantly assassinating various officials in the imperial capital, we don't need to carry out assassination missions at night to attract the attention of the empire."
"In other words, after a while, we may have to leave the imperial capital and return to the headquarters of the revolutionary army."
At this time, Sayo raised his hand and asked, "Then why did the chief come from Mr. Rasuzo and Miss Chelsea from the headquarters?" ”
"Hehe," Najehitan sneered, "because we have one last target, Minister Ornest." ”
Then everyone discussed for half an hour, analyzing the recently obtained information and the Eastern Xia Empire.
The assassination of the Eastern Xia Empire did attract most of the Empire's attention, and at the same time, the two pillars of the Empire had to return to the imperial capital to maintain order. It is precisely because of this that the alien nationalities and revolutionary armies everywhere are given a chance to breathe.
Of course, the alien races of the north are not included, because now they have been made into ice sculptures by Estes, and now they don't even have breath, let alone breathing.
"Alright, that's it for today's meeting, dissolve." Najehitan spoke.
Hearing the dissolution, everyone got up and left the hall with a smile.
"Mr. Lubbock, have you ever inquired about Tazmi's location today?" Iyeas asked.
"Not at the moment, but after this period of searching, I haven't heard about it, you came to the imperial capital to join the army at the beginning, so I have also checked the army." Lubbo replied
"I haven't found it through various channels, there is a record of enlistment by the name of Tazmi during this time, and now there are only two possibilities, either he didn't come to the imperial capital at all, or your companions joined the army led by those two people."
"Which two?" She had been standing by and listening to Sayo ask, and her expression was very nervous at this time. After learning about the darkness of the imperial capital, she was very worried about Tazmi's safety.
"Estes and General Bude," Lubbo sighed at the worried look on his face, as a gentleman, he couldn't see a girl sad the most.
"Of course, I don't think your childhood sweetheart will join the army of these two, Estes's army is now in the north to exterminate the remnants of the alien races in the north, so even if your childhood sweetheart wants to join this army, he has to go to the north. And General Bud is in charge of the Praetorian Guard, and the Praetorian Guard is generally a soldier trained from childhood, and Tazmi can't get in at all. ”
"So it's very likely that your childhood sweetheart got lost and didn't come to the imperial capital."
"Whew~"
Under Lubbock's comfort, Sayo and Iyeas both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"It's good if it's not in the imperial capital, and in other places, Tazmi, with his own strength, shouldn't be in danger of his life." Sayo's expression was no longer as nervous as it was just now.
"Hmm!" Iyeas nodded heavily, "I'm sure that guy will be fine, but I don't know if he can beat me next time we meet." ”
After the crowd left, the hall returned to silence.
Najehitan, who was sitting on the main seat, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, lit the cigarette and took a deep breath, then looked at the red pupil who had not left, and asked, "Chi Hitomi, is there anything wrong with you?" I see you've been sullen. ”
"Najehitan," Red Hitomi pulled out a brown journal and threw it at Najehetan. "Look at the folded pages."
Syllable!
Najehitan reached out and grabbed the diary, then flipped through the folded pages and said, "Is there any information here?" Walkettle? Isn't this the aristocracy who supplied the revolutionary army with all sorts of supplies? Why does it appear in the diary? ”
Red Hitomi did not answer Najieshitan's series of questions, but sat quietly in place and looked at the demon knife in his hand.
Although the red pupil is still unsure, whether the various things recorded in this diary are true. But her instinct vaguely told her that this was true, that this was the truth.
Akatomi was skeptical of her instincts, the first time she had doubted her instincts. Ever since she was still in the empire to assassinate troops, her instincts had never been wrong, and this time Ako hoped that her instincts were wrong.
A minute later, Najehitan put down her journal and took a deep puff on her cigarette, then exhaled white smoke again.
At this moment, Na Jiexitan's expression was very complicated, she looked up at the red pupil, and asked, "Red pupil, who gave you this diary?" ”
"Zero," Red Hitomi replied, then asked rhetorically, "Najehitan, is this true?" ”
Faced with the question of the red pupil, Najiehitan shook her head and said, "I don't know, but verifying the authenticity is very simple, as long as we return to the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, we will go to this guy's house to investigate." ”
"Najehetan, if everything in the diary is true, can I bury him?" Red Hitomi pulled out his demon knife three centimeters from its scabbard, and a terrifying death and murderous aura erupted at the same time, sweeping through the entire hall.
In the face of such a terrifying murderous aura, Najiehitan felt that her body temperature was constantly flowing, "Red Pupil, put away your murderous aura first." ”
As soon as the words fell, the dead and murderous aura that swept through the entire hall disappeared at the same time.
After calming down, Najehitan continued, "Of course he can be buried, but his sins must be punished. But he still has to live for a while, at least until the revolutionary army overthrows the empire. ”
"Why?" The murderous aura on the red pupil leaked out part of it again.
"Alas," replied Najeshi, with a sigh, "because the revolutionary army still needs him with all kinds of supplies, so we can't kill him yet." The Red Pupil Revolutionary Army is not completely bright, he also has darkness, but this darkness is not much. ”
"So please bear with me, and when the empire is overthrown, I will remove those scum from the revolutionary army."
"Hmm," Red Hitomi nodded.
…………
Imperial capital, imperial palace.
In the gorgeous palace intertwined with white and gold, the little emperor sat on the throne and looked at Estes below, and praised: "General Estes, you have done a very good job in suppressing the alien races in the north this time, and I will reward you with 10,000 taels of gold." ”
Estes, who knelt down on one knee, raised his head and said, "Thank you for your majesty's reward, I hope to distribute this ten thousand taels of gold to the soldiers stationed in the north." ”
"No problem."
Standing next to the little emperor, Minister Ernest of the "strongest undercover agent of the revolutionary army" secretly complained that this crazy woman doesn't treat money as money at all, and every reward is distributed to the soldiers of her own army, doesn't she keep a little for herself? If it were me, I would even collect the soldiers' salaries.
The little emperor continued, "Although the general has just returned, I have a task for you. Recently, a killer organization called Night Raid has appeared in the imperial capital, which has been unscrupulously assassinating officials of the empire, seriously disrupting the order of the empire. I need you to use absolute force to kill all these thieves. ”
"The subordinates obey, but the subordinates have something to ask for." Estes Road.
"Huh? Is it about your soldiers again? I will send the reward to their families as I have done in the past. ”
Estes shook his head and said, "No, my subordinates fought with that group of thieves last night, they are numerous, powerful, and have powerful guns in their hands. To deal with these people, ordinary people can't get close at all, and only the emperor's envoy can fight with them. ”
"Therefore, my subordinates hope that Your Majesty will gather 6 Imperial Tool users and let me form a special security force composed entirely of Imperial Tools."
"Isn't there already a three-orc by Estes' side? Why do you need six imperial envoys? The little emperor asked.
Without waiting for Estes to answer, Minister Ernest [the strongest undercover agent] standing beside the little emperor spoke: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that General Estes will be given the power." ”
As an ally, he must step up now, and the stronger Estes is, the more his power will be strengthened.
Hearing this, Minister Earnest said this, the little emperor immediately nodded and said, "Since the minister said so, then I will be relieved." Is there still a way to summon so many emperors? ”
Estes below tugged at the corners of his mouth, puppet, fool.
"Absolutely." Minister Earnest replied, now 2/3 of the imperial equipment of the empire has been embezzled by him, oh no, this is with the permission of the emperor, that is not called embezzlement, that is called take.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates still have something to ask for." Estes spoke again.
"What else?"
The corners of Estes' mouth turned up slightly, and he took out a piece of paper the size of two palms from his pocket, on which was drawn an extremely handsome black-haired man.
"My subordinates want Your Majesty to help me paste this photo all over the empire, and announce that this is General Estes's fiancé, lost, if you see this person, please bring your subordinates' mansions, and there will be a reward."
"Huh!?" The little emperor and the minister of Earnest opened their mouths wide and looked confused.
When did Estes have a fiancé?! How did we not know?!
