Chapter 37: The Truth of the Opportunity
Leaving the rooftop of the building, Xu Mo looked at the hint in the soul imprint with a somewhat ugly face:
"Samsara No. 228, you have triggered the Bloodline's Hidden Side Quest: Secret Party's Mandate (Bronze). Prince Erwin, the leader of the Blood Clan, has entrusted you to stop the Blood Demon Party's ambition to dominate the world, and asked the reincarnation to intervene in this historical plot, do you accept the mission? ”
"Hint: This hidden quest is divided into three levels: 1. Destroy Edgar Thomson Steelworks; 2. Kill Prince Victor, the leader of the Demon Party; 3. Destroy the Demon Party. Quest Completion Conditions: If you meet at least one of the three conditions, you will expect to increase your World Exploration by 0.25%-0.7%, depending on the completion conditions. ”
"Description: This hidden side story is a large-scale regional real-time side story, and Samsara's can participate in it alone or invite other Samsara's to participate in this mission as a team. The specific task reward will be based on the personal contribution of the reincarnator to the task after the task is over. ”
"Warning: Reincarnation No. 228 takes the Blood Clan Secret Oath as the task trigger condition, the task rewards are issued in advance, and the props and items that have been used after the mission fails will be deducted according to the cost of space conversion, and the insufficient part will be replaced by the equipment and honor points on the reincarnation, and after deducting all the equipment and honor points, it is still insufficient, and the reincarnation will be wiped out (the failure condition of this task is only for Reincarnation No. 228)."
Xu Mo didn't think that Prince Erwin would pay him for nothing, without any form of restraint, but he didn't expect that the cunning she-fox would use the ancient blood clan spell to make an entire deal with him in the form of an oath. Although the Blood Clan's Secret Oath did not work on Xu Mo's soul imprint, the space made this law of the world a failure condition in a hidden mission, which severely constrained him.
In addition to the Elwin essence blood that Xu Mo obtained, he also got two skill scrolls, which were the two bloodline skills he tailored for himself. In the brief battle between Xu Mo and Erwen, he found that Erwen also belonged to the agile type of combat powerhouse, but this young prince was slightly different from Xu Mo's agility type.
Xu Mo's agility belongs to physical ability, while Erwin's agility belongs to the spell system, and in some ways, it complements Xu Mo's physical ability. Xu Mo's high-speed action is a physical explosion, while Erwin's high-speed is indeed an application of the law of space. During the transaction, Xu Mo refused a large amount of material compensation from Erwin, and only asked for her two skills.
After thinking about it for a long time, the young prince finally retreated under Xu Mo's cheekiness and stubborn fighting, and had to spend a lot of energy to rub his two blood clan skills "Void Flash" and "Smoke" on the scroll.
Virtual Flash: An A-level active skill, which briefly blurs the body, greatly reduces the energy resistance encountered by the body during the movement, instantly breaks through the limitations of the law of space, and produces a short-distance teleportation effect, the skill continuously consumes energy value of 10 points/second, and has no cooldown.
Skill Effect: When the body is blurred, the physical attack damage received is reduced by 70%, the spell energy damage is increased by 50%, and the effect of all enemy slow and immobilize skills is halved, and the effect is limited by the reincarnation's basic ability and attack and defense priority.
Skill requirements: This bloodline skill can be used in conjunction with the instantaneous step skill of Samsara No. 228, which requires the reincarnation to reach the first level of intermediate footsteps and the seventh level of basic meditation, and this skill scroll cannot be used at this time.
Smoke: A B-level active skill that briefly smokes the body, reduces the damage of all physical attacks and energy attacks by 99% during the skill, and dissolves all enemy control skills. Takes 10 damage over time in sunlight, increases the damage of all Light attacks by 200%, lasts for 5 seconds, consumes 100 stamina and 100 stamina, and has a cooldown of 5 minutes.
Skill requirements: This bloodline skill can be used in conjunction with the reincarnation No. 228's instantaneous step skill, which requires the reincarnation to reach the 7th level of basic footsteps and the 7th level of basic prayer, and this skill scroll cannot be used at this time.
Void flash and smoke are both high-level skills unique to the blood clan, among which the smoke skill is a skill that the blood clan can achieve by consuming the blood in the body, which is reflected in the law body, which is the dual consumption of physical strength and energy. These two skills are very powerful, and with Xu Mo's instantaneous steps, his movement speed and defense in high-speed action have been greatly improved, but also because of the particularity of the blood clan's skills, they have also been greatly limited.
For example, the Void Flash skill will increase the spell damage received, and the Smoke skill will take very terrifying damage when it is attacked by Light Energy. These limitations also make it impossible to use these two skills as frequently as instantaneous, otherwise once exposed, they can easily become their own weaknesses.
Although he received great benefits, Xu Mo's mood was very heavy. Prince Erwin did not specify what the Devil's plot was, but only provided the Edgar Thomson Iron and Steel Works, where the Devils were currently hiding.
Edgar Thomson Steel Works is located in the town of Braddock, Pennsylvania, in the city of Pittsburgh, on the banks of the Pennsylvania River. Belonging to the same state as New York, the town has a total population of less than 10,000, and most of its residents work in steel mills. It only takes a few hours to get there from New York.
This ancient steel mill was obviously an industry belonging to the Blood Clan, and judging from all the information Xu Mo had now, he had finally come to a more reasonable and terrifying conclusion about how the Demon Party was fighting for world domination.
Regarding this conclusion, Xu Mo's feelings are a bit complicated, and he can fully understand Prince Erwin's current mood. On the one hand, the young prince abides by the commandments of the secret party for thousands of years, and at the same time, it is the greatest principle that the blood clan can coexist with humans at present, and has to stop Prince Victor, but on the other hand, deep down in her heart, she hopes that Victor can succeed.
Xu Mo estimated that this was also the psychological state of the vast majority of blood clan members, and the reason why they had such ambivalence was that even Prince Victor was unwilling to stop it in person regardless of the survival and safety of the entire blood clan. Because Prince Victor's plan has an extremely high success rate, it is entirely possible to subvert the current human society.
It's just that once this plan fails, the entire Bloodline will be completely exposed to humanity. With the current level of human technology, as long as the blood clan is specifically targeted, then the scientific and technological instruments to identify the members of the blood clan will soon be developed, and the entire blood clan will face annihilation, and as a race, they will completely disappear from this world.
Walking upright is the first evolution of human beings, which made human beings a kind of intelligent creatures, but in ancient times, when the technological productivity was not very developed, most human beings were no different from animals and plants, and the entire life time was spent on two things, obtaining food and reproducing.
After entering the modern world, human beings began to gradually liberate the time of their lives from these two things, and obtaining food and reproducing offspring were no longer human problems. However, it also brings another problem to human beings, how to use the life time they saved, and how to maximize the value of their lives.
Some human beings are the elite of the race who are dedicated to exploring the mysteries of the future and the universe, those who are beginning to uncover the mysteries of antiquity, and those who dedicate their lives to maintaining social stability and the happiness of other fellow human beings. But elites are elites because they are only a tiny fraction of the group, and most of humanity is just ordinary people.
But in this way, ordinary people occupy the vast majority of human beings, so where will the time they save be spent. The facts tell Xu Mo that these human beings are all pursuing the satisfaction of the spiritual world, and books, film and television works, music, travel, and any entertainment are all ways for human beings to pursue spiritual food. It's just that limited by material conditions and individual cultural level, many human beings are lacking in spiritual gain.
What would happen if there was a drug in the world that satisfied the physical pleasure of human beings and brought strength to human individual strength? Xu Mo thinks about it with his ass, and he can know what kind of reaction ordinary humans will have, society will begin to turmoil, and human beings will use the powerful power they have gained for a short time to break the laws of society and wantonly pursue what they can't usually get.
Once an incomparably powerful whole, humanity will completely embark on the path of pursuing individual power, either evolve again, or human society will fall apart and fall back into a dark era of war. Of course, the Blood Clan and the Werewolf Clan will also benefit from the war, and truly usher in the revival of the race.
Lucian cooperated with humans to develop LOL for this purpose, and Xu Mo even suspected that the Gate of Heaven in Dr. Hansen's mouth was an experiment that Lucian deliberately leaked to some human gangsters.
And now the information given to Xu Mo by Prince Erwin has made him discover that this plan aimed at subverting human society is probably not just Lucian's idea. The Demon Party led by Prince Victor is afraid that it will also contribute a lot, and it is very likely that this huge conspiracy plan is the result of the joint planning of the Blood Clan and the Werewolf Clan, two feuds.
Xu Mo currently has no clue about the three major side quests at the beginning of the world, whether it is the blood clan, the werewolf enhancement factor, or the secret plan of the Holy See and the Exorcist Guild. This is also because he broke away from the main three camps and joined the fringe branch of the werewolf clan led by Caesar.
Despite completing a silver-level hidden story mission and earning a third of the progress in the competitive quest "Purification", these gains are largely due to serendipity, as well as his resourceful and flexible approach.
However, after synthesizing Caesar, Prince Elwin, and some bits and pieces of information he had obtained so far, Xu Mo found that he was vaguely close to a core truth again, and at the same time, he once again stood at a turning point that changed world history.
Unlike the last time he passively approached the truth and promoted the development of history, this time, Xu Mo has the right to choose because of the improvement of his strength......
