"Thanks, but we don't need anything, just a ventilated, lit room." Xiao Yang said.

Fed-Ross was a little surprised, but didn't ask much, saying that he would do what Xiao Yang said.

As soon as they walked out of the gate, someone suddenly ran up to Fed-Roth and whispered, "My lord, two strange men have stormed your mansion on the ground, clamoring to see you. ”

The baron glanced at the messenger: "Didn't my guards beat them to death?" ”

"They did their best...... But he was beaten down by one of the weirdos. The strange man seemed to have magical powers, and without moving his body, your guard flew and fell to the ground and was seriously injured. ”

Fed-Ross was surprised, and then Rena and Xiao Yang looked at each other. They all knew that it was the two living people who came, and that meant the opportunity had come.

The baron was indeed interested in the two men and prepared to meet them. At this time, Xiao Yang spoke: "Your Excellency, please let us go to the ground with you." A few of my friends are willing to act as your bodyguards and keep you safe. ”

Although the baron said that he did not need a guard, he still agreed to Xiao Yang's request. Xiao Yang and his group of four followed the baron into the elevator of the base and rose towards the ground.

In the elevator, the baron only brought two ordinary entourages with him, and even exposed his back in front of Xiao Yang and the others. This was a very dangerous move for the baron, and the fact that he would do so showed that he trusted Xiao Yang and them very much. This surprised Xiao Yang, because the baron should be more suspicious. What did Yuan Hu say to the baron to make him trust him so much?

After exiting the elevator, the group arrived directly at the interior of the baron's mansion. It was already night outside the window. There were two moons in the sky, one large and one small, and the ground was illuminated brightly.

The baron's mansion was magnificent, and Xiao Yang even saw a large fountain in the mansion. You must know that ordinary people in this world have to wear filtration suits that recycle water in their bodies to survive, and water is a very luxurious thing for them; The fact that the baron was able to build such a large fountain shows that he is rich enough to rival the country. Although he had not yet seen the strength of the baron's army, he was financially good, which was obviously a favorable factor for the upcoming war.

Xiao Yang had to think about the war that was going to happen next. Those who are alive are Stranded, and their combat power and mission experience are unmatched, and they also have terrifying special items. Like the sniper system played by the soul seducer that Xiao Yang had encountered before, or disguised as a plot character to get close to the living, the success rate of these combat methods was almost 0. Although Xiao Yang now has a plan to use giant sandworms to deal with them, it is not safe to pin all his hopes on this one plan. If the information Yuan Hu said was accurate, it would certainly be much easier to deal with the forces supported by the stranded in the war. With Reina's attack ability, getting planes, tanks, and the like is like mowing grass, and Xiao Yang himself has a devastating beast soul variant. Besides, in order to win in a war, it is not only necessary to use force, but also to defeat the strong with the weak, and there are methods.

Of course, it's too early to say anything. Let's wait until the meeting between the living and the baron is over.

Xiao Yang and Rena stayed in the room that the Baron had prepared for them. And Luo Ruzhi and Jill followed the baron to the living room. They all changed into the uniforms of the baron's retinue and covered their faces so that the living could not discover their true colors. Fortunately, Rena used the Mist Stone, otherwise even this reconnaissance method would not have been able to be implemented.

When they were far away, Rena got up from her chair and said, "I'll follow them incognito. ”

"It's not necessary, right? Now the living don't know we're here, and there's no way they're going to take out the Tiger Prison Bead and give you a chance to grab it. It is enough to hand over the reconnaissance work to Jill and Luo Ruzhi, they are capable enough to handle this matter well. Xiao Yang dissuaded, "Let's just wait here quietly." ”

"You're right. But I'm still not at ease, I have to see it with my own eyes. Rena insisted on her opinion.

"Go ahead, then, be careful."

After Rena's figure disappeared into the air, Xiao Yang closed his eyes. He didn't think about the whole bunch of problems in front of him, because the current clues were limited, and it was in vain to think about it. He opened the scroll of inheritance in his mind and flipped through its contents. My combat effectiveness is still insufficient, if only I could learn more skills to improve my ability.

However, there were still as many skill images in the inheritance scroll as there were when he flipped through them last time, and Xiao Yang shook his head with a little disappointment. What is the pattern of the increase of skills and the improvement of talents, he still does not know.

But just as Xiao Yang was about to close the scroll, he suddenly noticed that there was a line of small words beating directly below the scroll, which felt like scrolling subtitles on TV. The small lines of small words moved quickly, and Xiao Yang could concentrate to barely read what was written on them.

[After the dynamic visual acuity is upgraded to the second gear, this prompt will be turned into a visual state.] At this point, your Elven Druid or Minotaur Druid Constitution should have been reactivated. As an intermediate druid, you must choose the main direction of your talent development. At the moment, you can choose between "Beastmaster" or "Child of Nature". Once a choice is made, the development of skills and related talents in that main talent direction will be enhanced, while the development of the other main talent direction will be limited. Please meditate on one of the main talents as soon as possible to make a choice, otherwise you will not be able to further enhance and strengthen. Xiao Yang hesitated. Among his current skills, most of the skills in the direction of "Beastmaster" are practical combat skills, while the skills in the direction of "Child of Nature" are only Blood Vine, Wood Spirit Rejuvenation and Level 3 Moonfire. However, the most terrifying three-level moonfire belonged to the side of the "children of nature", so it was not so easy to make a choice.

While Xiao Yang was considering how to make a choice, the baron, Luo Ruzhi, and Jill had already arrived in the reception room. Of course, the invisible Rena also followed them.

Jill observed the situation in the reception room. The four walls, floor, and ceiling of the reception room are made of a transparent solid substance that appears to be glass. Seeing Jill's doubts, the baron explained himself: "It is a crystal made by refining and synthesizing the material in the stomach of a sandworm, called sand crystal, which is ten times stronger than diamond, and has special properties, even high-power lasers cannot destroy it. ”

Jill looked at the thick sand-crystal wall that ran through the center of the reception room, dividing it in half, and immediately understood the Baron's intention of using this place as a reception room. As the baron said, he really didn't need any guards. Any guest would be brought into the opposite half of the parlor and meet the Baron through the sand wall, so that no one could attack the Baron. On each side of the sand crystal wall, there is something similar to the microphone used for visiting in prisons, and it seems that people on both sides are using that microphone to make a conversation.

The baron sat in a chair behind the sand crystal wall, and Jill and Luo Ruzhi stood behind him. A figure who looked like a butler walked up to the baron and said, "Lord Baron, here they are. ”

The two men walked out through the door of the half-room opposite.

"Sure enough, those two living people, yes." Rena's whisper rang in Jill's ears. Jill reflexively turned his head, but didn't see Rena.

"I'm invisible, don't look for it. You don't have to worry about me, just watch it carefully, don't act rashly. Rena said.

Jill listened to Rena's words and put her whole energy on the two living people opposite. I saw that the two living people were wearing translation headphones on their ears and had devices similar to pronunciation devices on their mouths. Jill thought to himself that these living people were indeed different from the lonely souls and soul seducers, and there was no way to directly communicate with the characters in the plot.

The same scene in Rena's eyes shocked her. She searched carefully for the memories in her head. She remembered that the stranded were also fluent in all languages, and there was no need for a translator. Possession of the Tiger Prison Bead means that they must be stranded, so could it be that the other party is not wearing a translator, but something else? Rena thought that there were several special items that could change shape at will, and thought that the other party was probably doing this to confuse the possible soul envoy, and she couldn't help but become even more worried.

The middle-aged man among the living people walked up to the sand crystal wall, grabbed the microphone and said, "Hello, Your Excellency Baron Harkenny. We're sorry to bother you at night, but we're here to join you, and we hope you'll accept us. ”

"Oh? I have heard of you, O Gentiles, of great fighting power. If you can show what you're capable of, I might as well consider having you join my army. The baron said with a smile.

"We're going to show what we're capable of. But until then, we have one more request. The middle-aged man said, "If we join you, we don't need anything, we just want you to find a few special people for us." They are our enemies, and they have most likely fled to your city. ”

"That's easy to say." The baron's answer was very simple, "As long as you are indeed capable, I will do my best to fulfill your requests." ”

"That's good." The middle-aged man pulled out a gun-like weapon from his bosom and aimed it at his companion. Jill's eyes widened, it was definitely a portal gun!

In the next moment, the young man with dyed blonde hair had appeared in front of the baron and the others. The baron stood up in astonishment, he couldn't imagine such a thing in the world!

"Fed-Rose!" The blonde youth grinned and called the baron's name, "I want to use your retinue to test my combat effectiveness, you won't mind, right?" ”

He didn't wait for the baron to say yes. In the air, thin wires, invisible to the naked eye, begin to move at high speed.

Jill instinctively sensed danger, and she wanted to move her body. But before she could make a move, the opponent's attack was already complete.

The body pulled by the silk thread flew straight towards the ceiling made of sturdy sand crystals at great speed. The dull sound of collision and the sound of bones shattering sounded one after another; Immediately afterward, the body fell to the ground, turning into a bloody corpse, completely unrecognizable in its former human form.

The upheaval was over in seconds, but the baron didn't come to his senses until he felt something drip on his face. He wiped his face with his hand, only to wipe a hand of bright red liquid, and the unique rusty smell of blood came from the palm of his hand.

The baron looked up. There was a large pool of blood on the ceiling above his head, which was the blood of the dead lying on the ground. There were at least six or seven blood stains on the ceiling and the four walls of the room, which shows that the deceased was hit continuously I don't know how many times. And all of this was done in a matter of seconds.

Gilshaw's mouth widened, and his face was completely full of the expression of the rest of his life. Thankfully, Jill's face was now hidden under the veil, and no one else could see her look. The baron's retinue, who had just been pulled by the silk thread, was standing beside Jill, and when the man was pulled up, Gil almost thought that he was being attacked.

However, Luo Ruzhi, who was on the other side, did not pay special attention to this matter. His mind seemed to drift away entirely, and he didn't care much about the threat of death, even though the threat of death was likely looming.

"How's it going, Fed-Ross, are you still satisfied with my combat effectiveness?" The blond young man smiled gloomily at the baron, "If I'm not satisfied, I can use one of your retinues to put on a show." ”

Before the baron could reply, the blond-haired young man said, "Feyde Rose, why don't you pick one of the people here for me to try?" How is this masked man? And this veiled woman? Speaking of which, there are quite a few people here who don't want to show their true colors! Hey, by the way, why don't you let the guy who was secretly hiding in the room come out and play two tricks with me? ”

Jill's face turned pale. Could it be that Rena has been discovered?! If that's the case......

"Xue Ming, immediately apologize to His Excellency the Baron for your rudeness!" The middle-aged man on the other side said and said apologetically to the baron, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, this subordinate of mine is a barbarian, and he is not polite, please forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter. I'm very tolerant of those who are able. The baron's expression had returned to normal, and he wiped the blood from his face with his handkerchief as he said, "But there is no one in this room but me and my retinue, and I can assure you of that." ”

"Huh. It doesn't really matter if you have it or not. Anyway, it would be easy to kill her with my skills, and it would be nothing to spare her life. Xue Ming seems to be really ready to stop talking about invisible people.

“…… All right. The baron smiled reluctantly, "It's dirty here, too, let's go to another room and talk." ”

The Baron eventually agreed to allow two living men to join his troops, and promised them to search for the man they wanted in their city. The two living people also introduced themselves at this time, the blonde young man's name was Xue Ming, and the middle-aged man's name was Ran Ping.

After that, the baron had the two men rested, and his servant led them to the interior of the mansion. Jill and Luo Ruzhi also left the baron and headed towards the room where Xiao Yang was.

Due to the danger, Rena eventually gave up her plan to track down the two living and returned the same way. On the way, however, she spotted Baron Fed-Rose looking at the fountain intently. Rena became interested in the baron and quietly walked up to him.

"My lord, what are you going to do? The first four people were obviously the ones the next two people were looking for, and now that you have agreed to their request, are you really going to hand over the previous four people to the next two? Both sides are as strong as monsters, and if they take aim at you, you'll be in danger. A small female voice sounded beside the baron.

Rena looked around and didn't notice anyone around the baron, but the voice did come from the baron's side.

"No, of course not. I will never waste the fighting power of any of their sides. As long as they don't meet, it's not difficult, and I don't have to think too much about it. The baron also whispered, "Minelli, next time I won't allow you to sneak with me." Your invisibility doesn't mean anything to a fighter with good eyesight, and your combat power is also insufficient, and it can be dangerous to be discovered. ”

"Master, as long as you can be safe, it doesn't matter how dangerous I am." The woman said, "I learned this art of stealth through hard training with the Fremen, just to protect you. ”

At this time, Rena finally noticed a vague shadow on the ground, and it was clear that there was indeed an invisible person there. It seems that the other party is using the stealth skills possessed by some fighters in this scene, and will leave a shadow and be discovered, which is naturally far worse than Rena's own stealth device. If Rena hadn't thought about someone else being invisible, she would have discovered this woman much earlier.

Rena recalled what the blonde-haired Xue Ming had just said in the reception room, and it turned out that he had discovered the woman's existence through the shadows, not Rena. Rena breathed a sigh of relief, if even her own stealth was easily seen through by the living, there really would be no chance of winning this obstruction operation.

"Mineri, it doesn't matter what happens." The baron sighed at the invisible woman at this time, "Seriously, I've always felt that our world is a little strange and unrealistic. I felt as if I wasn't some dominant baron, but something else. ”

Rena was a little surprised. Judging by what this Harkenny Baron said, it is clear that he has begun to have doubts about the truth of the world; This is a precursor to the possibility of a metamorphic awakening to become a living person. It is also quite rare for the characters in the plot to be self-aware to this extent; It seems that it may only take a little inducement to him, and his illusion awakening will begin.

Do you want to induce him to give it a try? In doing so, I guess we can pull the back of the living.

Rena shook her throat. Since that evolution, she has been able to change even the internal structure of her body. It's not too difficult to change your voice.

The invisible female warrior left shortly after. As the baron was about to leave, he heard a voice as deep and majestic as an oracle ringing in his ears: "O Baron Feld-Ross of Harkenny, you have glimpsed the true corner of the world. Do you want to see through the illusion before you and know the truth about this world? ”

"Who? Is it Freman's stealth infantry? The baron's body shook and looked around. However, not only did he not see Rena, nor did he see any vague shadow like Minelli.

"I am the one who leads you to the truth. O wise baron, are you not tempted by the real world? ”

"Real? What is real? The baron asked.

"That's a lie that can shatter the world, and it will make you realize what your life really is." The oracle-like voice smacked of temptation, "How? Do you dare to touch this truth, O Fed-Roth? It will be terrible for you, but it will also open the way for you to the real world. ”

The baron raised his head and said, "Tell me." I'm Fil Rose, never
