Section 52 Simple plan
As the saying goes, the thousand-year-old king is eighty-thousand-year-old turtle. But as anyone knows, it's just an adjective. The true lifespan of a turtle is no more than 100 years, and the longest recorded tortoise is less than 200 years old.
But now, standing in front of Chen Yin is actually an old man who has really experienced a thousand years! And the evidence is still Chen Yin's own eyes!
That's a thousand years! If McCarthy's father lived on Earth, he might know Fang La, Song Jiang, Yue Fei, Qin Hui, Li Qingzhao, Zhu Xi, Lu You, Wen Tianxiang, Marco Polo, Zhu Yuanzhang, Luo Guanzhong, Zhang Juzheng, Zheng He, Wei Zhongxian, Qi Jiguang, Yuan Chonghuan, Zheng Chenggong, Tang Bohu, Xu Guangqi, Shi Kefa, Li Shizhen......
Thousands of years, after the Song, Liao, Ming and Qing dynasties. The Chinese nation has had glory and weakness, stumbling to this day, New China is only more than 60 years old, and the Chinese nation is only more than 5,000 years.
And the one standing in front of Chen Yin is an old man who is still alive after thousands of years, standing in front of him, he will unconsciously give birth to a sense of dislocation of time. The grandeur of history and the insignificance of human beings appeared in this old man's body at the same time, leaving Chen Yin speechless.
"What's wrong? Miss the little girl? Why don't I introduce you to the kind and lovely little Jenny? That's a pretty little girl......" Daddy McCarthy's painting style turned from majestic to lewd.
“…… If I'm not mistaken, the kind and lovely little Jenny runs a small restaurant, right? The corners of Chen Yin's mouth twitched, he was very impressed by the man whose waist was thicker than the cylinder and who was running a horse on his arm.
"That's right! Looks like you've already met? How does it feel? Hey, hey, hey......"
"Stop!" Chen Yin grabbed the old guy's beard and pulled him away from him.
"It hurts, it hurts! Young people nowadays are so rude! Daddy McCarthy grinned and stroked his beard, "Fortunately, it didn't break it, and it didn't destroy my handsome and dashing ......."
"Hey! You don't have enough time to say it yourself! Since you're so idle, why don't you let me ask something else? ”
Chen Yin discovered that some people are not suitable for looking up, only for looking down. And McCarthy's dad is obviously such a cheap old fritter, and I don't know if his character is acquired or born cheaper? Well, that's a problem......
"Ahem, ahem, I accidentally digressed again, let's talk about serious things first." McCarthy Daddy Massashi, "In these 15 days, we need to deal with a siege with a large number of soldiers, and 4 or more quasi-legends. So the next defense will be very difficult, and your help will be the key to whether we can survive or not. ”
"But I only have a 4-star ......," Chen Yin shrugged, "aren't you afraid that I won't be able to do it?" ”
"Hehehe......" Daddy McCarthy shook his head after his trademark three laughs, "Young man, your view of strength is too superficial. The level of the card ring has never been a problem, only the size of the soul sea is the foundation of strength. ”
"And you, the future is limitless." McCarthy's father's gaze looked at Chen Yin's hand, "Even if a person with a legendary card ring is only 4 stars, it is much more difficult than a quasi-legend." Besides, if you say yes, I can pay you right now. And after receiving the reward, you will naturally not only have 4 stars......"
As he spoke, Daddy McCarthy took out a ring, put it in the palm of his hand and sent it to Chen Yin.
"Card Ring: Black Burn"
"Card Ring Upgrade Materials."
"This is!?" Chen Yin looked at the epic card ring in front of him in surprise, and stared at McCarthy vigilantly, "How do you know I need ......?"
"Don't be nervous, you raised money to shoot a card ring, and then the level increased by 1 level. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is semi-public news. ”
Although McCarthy's father said so, Chen Yin was still an unknown little person when he first came to the imperial capital, and even now, the people who knew him in the entire imperial capital were only limited to some card game lovers and music lovers, and there were really not many forces that really paid attention to him.
"Why are you following me?" Chen Yin asked the point in a word.
"Because the first time I saw you, I saw an old friend I hadn't seen for many years." Daddy McCarthy stopped playing dumb riddles this time, and directly pointed to Chen Yin's card ring and said, "God Stone, I'm right, right?" Of course...... I don't use probing skills, you have similar skills yourself, you'll know when I probe you, right? ”
"......" Chen Yin really doesn't know about this problem. Because until now, he hadn't met anyone else who had probed him with probing skills, or someone had probed without him knowing. However, this kind of problem seems simple but difficult to talk about, as long as it exists in the heart, there is a chance to verify it in the future.
"What does it have to do with you?" Chen Yin shook the ring on his index finger.
"That's going to take a long time......"
"Can't generalize? Or can't I know? Chen Yin interrupted unceremoniously.
"With all the information you have, all I can say is that the 'Prophet' wore it." Daddy McCarthy thought for a moment and replied.
After hearing the news, Chen Yin didn't react a little, and only after a few seconds did he react, his eyes widened and he shouted, "That's right! You have seen the Prophet! What did the Prophet do in the City of Gold? No, wait...... I've been ignoring one question......"
"What prophet am I looking for! I'll just ask you if it's over!? Do you know my ......" Chen Yin hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and said his biggest secret:
"In your knowledge, do you know that there is a card that plane-time-teleports? After using a divine power crystal, a huge black vortex can be opened, and then the whole person will be sucked into the vortex and come to a ......"
Chen Yin excitedly told the story of how he crossed the story as it was, of course, the places where his identity would be exposed were vaguely mentioned.
After listening, Daddy McCarthy shook his head: "What are you talking about...... Divine power crystals, I've never heard of them. You won't find the answer to this question in the Church of Light. ”
"I haven't even heard of you......" Chen Yin suddenly became lost.
"But there are similar things. The Prophet disappeared inexplicably, and I have heard from some informal sources that there is speculation that the Prophet is no longer there. ”
"What do you mean when you're gone?" Chen Yin raised his head, and hope was rekindled in his eyes.
"Not here, not in this world, not on this planet." That's Daddy McCarthy's answer.
"It's not here...... Chen Yin muttered to himself, "What about his ring...... Hey? This ring is ...... No way!? ”
Suddenly, Chen Yin thought of a possibility.
The ring, the cards, and the pendant were given to him by the same person, Professor Joshua. Before that, Chen Yin was a little strange, because the cultural relics excavated before were basically bottles and jars, as well as some copper and iron utensils.
As for the gold products, until Professor Joshua handed over the three-piece set to Chen Yin, there were no gold products found, so the origin of the three-piece set itself is a bit strange.
After mentioning this matter at this time, Chen Yin suddenly remembered another detail, that is, when these three things were handed over to him, they were all very round and shiny. At that time, Chen Yin just thought that Professor Joshua had already been cleaned, but now that he thinks about it......
Maybe they weren't excavated from the Great Pyramid of Halstone at all!
"Prophet ......" The corners of Chen Yin's mouth moved slightly, and he pulled out an ugly smile, "I don't know, is there anything like a prophet stored in the church?" ”
"Nope." Daddy McCarthy shook his head, "He's a dissident, and now most of the material has been destroyed." ”
"That'...... What does he look like? ”
"Uh, thin, medium, brown hair...... Oh, and the most important point. Daddy McCarthy said seriously, "I'm more handsome than him." ”
“……”
Chen Yin sighed and directly ignored his father's last sentence. However, the previous words are actually not of much reference value. It is normal for an old man to be thin, but the description of medium height is too subjective and can only be used as a reference according to the height of Daddy McCarthy. And the hair color can also be changed.
Having said all this, only the phrase "medium height" is more valuable. However, on the whole, Professor Joshua's conditions are met for the time being.
Belch......
That's right.
Chen Yin had another idea.
Since McCarthy's father can't provide accurate information here, wouldn't it be better for Chen Yin to provide it upside down?
"Do you have paper and carbon rods here? I'll draw a picture, you'll recognize ......"
“…… There has been so much talk about digressions, and even if we are now sure of the identity of the Prophet and where he is, so what? Daddy McCarthy turned around and looked out the window.
"If we don't survive this, we're all going to die here. Pound's little guy is getting darker and darker, and I also underestimate him. In order to win the hearts of the people and get the first war dividend, he actually dared to fight the idea of the Holy Light Church! "Daddy McCarthy was a little indignant.
"Or are you too arrogant? In the history of our country, there have been examples of small and inconspicuous states that have taken risks to provoke wars and have also challenged successes. Chen Yin knew very well what the problem was, because he saw both the strength and arrogance of the Holy Light Church.
"Anyway, 15 days is our lifeline."
"How long can the blood mist help us?" Chen Yin suddenly remembered the terrifying blood mist creature.
"You can't fight for a day." Professor Joshua shook his head, "Our original plan was to stick to the Basilica of Light after the blood mist was released. But as you can see now, we can't fix the holes in the outer wall of the cathedral in a short period of time, and as long as the blood mist concentration exceeds 1%, the probability of people getting infected and allergic will increase dramatically, and it will be too ugly to die at the hands of their own creation......"
"Infection? Allergic?? ”
"You've seen the infection."
"That's it...... The one who exploded? Chen Yin frowned.
"Hmm. And the allergic reaction is similar to that person, except that the whole body turns red, and then the whole person rots within a few days......"
"Wait, I remember drinking the water from the Forest of Death and festering to death?" Chen Yin suddenly sounded, and little Susan told him why they didn't fetch water in the river outside the town.
"That's right, it's the same thing, after all, the essence of the gray fog and the blood mist is ......," Daddy McCarthy paused, as if hesitating to say it.
"Don't tell me."
"Soul Stone Steam."
The words of the two came out at the same time.
"Huh?" Chen Yin's eyes widened, "Soul Stone Steam!?" ”
"That's right, in essence, the gray mist, the blood mist, and the blue mist that the soul crystals turn into when you use the cards are the same thing." Daddy McCarthy explained, "And the human body is actually unable to directly withstand this special substance, so this is why there is a way to indirectly control this energy fog like a card ring." ”
"Allergies and infections are both different states caused by the same factor, and they are both due to a series of complex changes caused by the human body's direct absorption of excess soul energy."
"And the blood mist creatures we have developed, like the gray mist creatures, can only survive in places full of soul energy, so now the blood mist on the side of the Holy Light Cathedral can only serve as a wall, so they can't attack from that direction, that's all."
"Blood Mist Expands ...... Range"
"No, that's too dangerous. Something like blood mist would be fine if it just remained as it was, but if it devoured new energy, such as someone dying in it...... Then it will get bigger and bigger, destroy more people, and then become bigger, and so on and so on, the entire imperial capital will soon be shrouded in blood mist, which is not in the interest of the church. ”
"Aren't they going to kill you already? Just let the blood mist spread out and kill everyone......" Chen Yin suggested.
"Hehe, you don't understand." Daddy McCarthy smiled, "The permanent population of the imperial capital plus the floating population is about 1 million, these people can't just die in vain......"
"What does it mean not to die in vain? When the gray orcs invaded, I don't believe that you would help old Pound, and if you didn't help him, the whole country would be wiped out, and what would be the million people in the imperial capital? Chen Yin despised McCarthy's father's hypocrisy.
“…… You can't die now. ”
"What do you mean!?" Chen Yin was taken aback, there was too much in McCarthy's father's words. Can you die later? Can you die at the hands of the gray orcs, but you can't let the blood mist consume them? And even if you sacrifice your own life, you can't let them die now!?
What kind of logic is this?
"Don't ask, I can't tell." Daddy McCarthy patted Chen Yin on the shoulder, "This world is much more complicated than you think......
In Chen Yin's impression, this is the second time that Daddy McCarthy has said such things.
"Okay. What's your plan? Chen Yin asked.
"It's simple, hold on." Daddy McCarthy said lightly, "Use the defense system and the paladins and royal guards to fend off ordinary people, while you, me, and Pusiles are responsible for dealing with quasi-legends." ”
“……”
Having said so much, it's actually just one word:
Hate!
