"The building complex in the center of the city is the Imperial Palace, and the tallest white towers in the city around the Imperial Palace are the settlements of those energy beings, called the Void Spirit Tower. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info," Valak said, pointing to the towering white towers in the city.

Zhang Xiaowang was a little surprised: "These energy beings live in the city? Still so close to the Royal Palace? ”

Valak nodded, "Well, they're called the Ethereal Spirit Protoss here, and they're worshipped as gods by the people here......"

Even the Royal Library of Amo, which has the largest collection of books, has no record of the origin of the Ethereal Spirits, as if these Ethereal Spirits have existed in this world since the existence of the Amorians, as if they existed longer than the Amorians. It is only in the records of those legends of Amo that some vague traces of time can be found.

Legend has it that the Ethereal Spirit Clan, who lived in the Far North 10,000 years ago, kept a distance from the Amo people, who were still a tribal organization at that time. It wasn't until the sword soldiers of the Amo world fought for hegemony that the Void Spirit clan couldn't bear to see the lives ruined, so they went down the mountain to stop the killing.

The mighty Ethereals, with their power to summon wind and rain, move mountains and seas, and summon thunder, easily stopped the war of the Amons and brought all the Amo to their knees. Then the whole world was divided into a hundred nations according to their wishes, of which ninety-nine were kings and one was kings.

After completing the division of the world, most of the Ethereal Spirits returned to the Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain, leaving only one or two Ethereal Spirits in each country as watchers and inspectors of the mortal world, guarding and maintaining their established world map. This pattern of power has remained unchanged for thousands of years and continues to this day.

In the years that followed, for unknown reasons, more and more ethereal spirits began to leave the Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain and come to the human society to accept the worship and faith of all living beings in Amo. From this time on, the mysterious Ethereal Race gradually became the only synonym for the gods in the world, and all previous beliefs and worships were overthrown. There is only one kind of god to believe in - the god of the void.

As an existence elected as a god by the Amo people, whenever there is a great drought or flood in the world, an earthquake or a plague, the Ethereal Spirit will also choose those areas with the strongest faith to extend a saving hand, and every time they reach out, they will have significant results. This naturally led to the increasing fanaticism of the Amo belief in the ethereal spirits, and even led to a faith contest among the various nations.

Eventually, the Ethereal Spirit Race, as the patron saint of the Amo people, completely integrated into the hundred countries of the Amo world. They are roughly divided into two parts in each country, with a few permanent royal or royal palaces, existing as national teachers and occasionally interfering in politics. The other part is stationed in the Ethereal Spirit Tower in the capital of each country, as a place for the Ethereal Spirit to receive worship from mortals.

Maybe it's because Zhang Xiaowang has panda spirits and 100,000 undead around him, and he hasn't been too hostile to alien life, and he can't help but be a little confused after listening to Valak's story: "These ethereal spirits don't seem to have done anything to be sorry for the Amor, how do I think they seem to have done a lot of good people and good deeds." Even if they pretend to be gods and are blinded by the Time and Space Bureau, they won't be obliterated by the entire clan, right? ”

Valak smiled bitterly: "I thought so when I first came, thinking that this mission is at most a hidden danger level, and it is not at the level of an accident at all." But then one of my men went out to find out a little bit of information, and I realized that these ethereal spirits had so much help to the Amo, but they really didn't have any good intentions. ”

Zhang Xiaowang became curious: "How do you say this?" ”

Warak said, "These ethereal spirits want tribute......

Panda Jing touched his stomach: "It's not too much to ask for tribute, I want to ...... back then"

Zhang Xiaowang interrupted the Panda Spirit's memories of the past, and asked Valak: "This tribute must be unusual, right?" ”

Warak's face darkened: "Yes, the tribute they want is a living person!" The dynasty had 5,000 boys and 5,000 girls every year. Other kingdoms range from hundreds to thousands depending on the size of the population. ”

Zhang Xiaowang couldn't help but snort, there seem to be a lot of monsters who love to eat boys and girls in Chinese legends. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaowang's face became ugly: "What do they want to do with living people, is it to eat?!" ”

When Warak heard Zhang Xiaowang say this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "That can't be, right?" They are energy creatures, how to eat carbon-based creatures? It's the first time I've heard that Director Zhang has studied this aspect? ”

Zhang Xiaowang pinched his thigh, knowing that he had inadvertently exposed his illiterate nature again, he coughed a few times and diverted the topic: "Inside, what the Void Spirit Clan has done should be more than that, right?" ”

"Not bad." Valak nodded, "I've discovered another strange thing. It is that the Amo people have had several opportunities for the rise of the industrial revolution in modern times, but each time they have been nipped in the bud. Following this trail, I found that several industrial revolutions ended without a hitch for the same reason - all the scientists involved disappeared or died inexplicably. ”

Zhang Xiaowang did not express his opinion easily this time: "Then? ”

Warak continued: "Several industrial revolutions have involved thousands of scientists, and tens of thousands of family members who have died or disappeared with them, some of whom are members of considerable social status. Isn't it enough to illustrate that these tens of thousands of people died or disappeared in such an inexplicable way, and that the countries did not pay attention to them, and there was no record in the history books? ”

Zhang Xiaowang connected the two things together and thought for a moment, and asked, "Those Void Spirit Pagodas, have you found a way to detect them?" ”

Valak shook his head: "Those ethereal energy fields are extremely wide, and I don't even dare to use divine weapons and terminals within a kilometer of them, lest they discover the energy fluctuations and cause unnecessary trouble." Do you think those towers are weird? ”

Zhang Xiaowang said: "As you said, they have been in the Amo society for thousands of years, and they need tens of thousands of people to pay tribute every year, so together they are almost 100 million Amor. There are also tens of thousands of scientists and their families who have disappeared in modern times. Where have all these people gone? He pointed to the Void Spirit Tower in the distant capital, "That tower can't hold so many people, right?" So where are all these people? ”

Valak's face froze: "Could it be ...... Do energy creatures really eat people? ”

Zhang Xiaowang felt very sorry that his illiterate remarks had successfully led a senior security bureau officer to deviate, and he waved his hand and said: "I didn't mean that, I doubt that there will be something under this Void Spirit Tower." ”

Panda Jing stalked his neck: "Want to survey the terrain under the tower?" That's not easy, the magic weapon and the terminal are not working, and my old bear! ”

Warak looked at the panda's simple and cute black and white appearance, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not, your appearance will not be discovered by the Amo patrol soldiers if you can't go to the city." If eco-camouflage is used, the energy field emitted will also be discovered by the ethereals. ”

The panda spirit smiled, shook his body, and in a blink of an eye, he had turned into a fat man with brown hair and brown eyes: "Don't worry! When my brother walked under the nose of the whistling dog, he was not found, and these little void spirits were chicken feathers. ”
