Chapter 1235: Change of Countermeasures
Explorer Alliance, in the conference room, a circle of purple-robed people held a meeting with heavy faces, although they were reluctant to take off their hats in this dark conference room because of the large purple robe hood on their bodies, it was difficult for each other to see each other's faces clearly, but it did not affect the heavy aura of their faces between them.
They have made a big deal, and now they don't know how things have developed to this point inexplicably, and they have always controlled this kind of thing very well, and they have not abused it as a big killing weapon.
- The main thing is not to dare.
In short, there was no abuse, but with the help of this curse, they killed too many troublesome enemies, including those peers who were in the pit when excavating the ruins, masters? There was no magic summoning book, and the master would die after being cursed by the otherworld, and after he died, he could directly push it to the danger of that ruin, it was simply a perfect dump, and he never missed it.
But what's wrong now? First the Otherworldly Curse inexplicably appeared in the forbidden area, and then the Dark Church didn't know how to get the Otherworldly Curse, and had already issued an ultimatum to the Explorers Alliance, and they also learned through special channels that the witch seemed to have come into contact with the otherworldly curse, or the Calamity Witch with the ability to curse.
So who is secretly messing with them, or is this series all a coincidence? Or is it that the ruins below the Explorer Alliance actually have a special connection to the Forbidden Zone? Either way, they all know that if they can't deal with the problems that follow, there may be no Explorer Alliance in the future.
Why don't we break up the whole and divide the family property now, and everyone goes their own way? With this thought, the meeting room seemed very silent, and the atmosphere was particularly stiff, and of course everyone did not take off their big hoods as always.
This is a traditional process, and there are many high-level identities in the entire conference room that cannot be seen, and they will not be exposed when they are in a meeting.
"So, no one can come up with a good solution to the problem?" asked the leader of the Explorer Alliance without any fluctuations, they have enjoyed the benefits of the Explorer Alliance for so many years, and now it is time to pay off their debts, when the Otherworldly Curse is not a secret, many things can be brought out of the coffin again for comparison.
As long as someone with a heart investigates carefully, they will definitely be able to find signs that the otherworldly curse has appeared, and then all these pots will be thrown on the Explorer Alliance...... Well, that was originally their pot, and it was no problem to carry them one by one, but if they threw them all over, it would not be an unbearable weight of life that they could bear.
"Well, maybe we can address the person who raised the question. A high-level member of the Explorer Alliance, who was close to the end of the conference table, said: "Since this cannot be hidden, let's simply show it generously, after all, only we have the way to avoid the curse of the other world at the moment, and how many people will die if they say it!"
This is a radical, and if he is a little impulsive, so that the other high-ups continue to be silent, and no one stands up to question his stupidity or recklessness, it means that his proposal is valid, after all, they really need a way to break the tie at the moment, compromise? That's not the style of the Explorer Alliance.
The accumulation of the Explorer Alliance from its inception to the present has made too many forces red, as long as there is weakness on their side, those forces will be like the most vicious hungry wolves, eating their bloody fat without hesitation, at that time, it was really the wall that everyone pushed down.
They'll have to keep a strong style on their side!!
So the operation of solving the problem may not be impossible to try, anyway, the curse of the other world is no secret, and the unscrupulous use of this is nothing more than to make the Explorer Alliance turn from gray to black, what a big deal, right...... With their style over the years, the Explorer Alliance itself is a black force covered with a layer of gray.
"Besides, we have other things to rely on besides the otherworldly curse, and we have a great advantage over those forces. β
"While we do have a great advantage in dealing with many things with the power we have, let's not forget that many of those powers are beyond our full control. β
"It's true that we can't completely control it, but it's okay to be able to control those forces without affecting us!" the high-ranking said in a slightly passionate tone, "With the power we have unearthed over the years, we have long developed into a force of the specifications of the Dark Church or even the Templar Church, but now? We are still confined to this place, it's time to make a change!"
"In other words, they jumped off the wall in a hurry, directly spreading the otherworldly curse on a large scale, is there any good way for your Templar Church?" Zheng Yichen looked at the cards in his hand and asked casually, Oro frowned slightly, stared at the cards on the table in front of him, and then looked at the cards in his hand.
Lost in thought.
"The Otherworldly Curse is very difficult to study, what we can be sure of is that kind of thing involves a particularly strange world, although it has little to do with reality, but the scale of this curse outbreak is too large, and it may break the barrier, so what we have to do is to solve the problem before such a situation occurs. β
"After all, this curse, if not controlled, will bring more harm than a cult. β
In addition, he wanted to ask Zheng Yichen why he was so good at playing cards? He obviously had a very serious card play, and the card decks of the two were similar, so why did he always look weaker than this dragon?
Zheng Yichen smiled lightly, cheating? He is indeed cheating, the person who plays cards with Oro is not him Zheng Yichen, but the group of 'high players' who appear in the hidden area in the illusory world, although they are the existence of the illusory world, but except for the soul strength because of the illusory world, it is very weak, but there is no difference from normal people in other aspects, there is no need for such good resources, Zheng Yichen is stupid?
At his level, the conversation could have ended ten minutes ago.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"As much as I would love to have a few more high-quality deals with the church, I am also very passive when it comes to this thing, after all, I am still a child. Zheng Yichen said.
Oro sighed, didn't take this nonsense to heart, in the dragon clan this guy is a child, in fact, everyone knows very well what is going on, speaking of the dragon clan, recently the cooperation between the Templar church and the dragon clan has suddenly become smooth, there are still many obstacles at the beginning, the church has been trying to find a way to break this obstacle, but the progress is very average.
And after that, it was different, the dragon clan unilaterally changed its tone, the reason was because of the dragon in front of him, but it was not because of the reason for taking care of the juniors, but because of other aspects...... The reason for this is that Oro is not a participant in the relevant program and has limited knowledge.
"On your side, what solution do you use?"
"Otherworldly curses require mana, and even creatures with even a little bit of magic can be entangled, so if you want to avoid being contaminated with otherworldly curses, it's good to isolate your own magic. β
"Cut, I thought you could come up with some good method, but it turned out to be this kind of stupid method......" Speaking of this, Zheng Yichen paused slightly, and glanced at the mustache: "I do have some research on the Otherworldly Curse, this is for you." β
"How much?" Taking the eye drops that Zheng Yichen threw over, Oro asked, he didn't think that the things that this dragon threw away were also free, maybe it was free to do this with others, and forget about it with the Holy Church.
"Just give me five hundred magic stone coins. β
β...... I'll tell you, that's not how the church is slaughtered, even if it has a lot of money. β
"This thing can make people see the cursed otherworld, and as long as they don't actively interfere with the cursed otherworld, they won't be affected. β
"Deal!" Auro said quite simply, and began to pay for it, the benefits of the Templar Church are reflected, as long as it is a legitimate action of the Eight Classics, the funds for the activities are particularly sufficient, for example, for the current matter, he only needs to make a quick report on the details of the matter, and he will be able to use the funds prepared by the church immediately.
Even if there is no feedback in the report, it doesn't matter, complete the transaction first, and after the boss confirms that he has done the right thing, he will directly supplement the funds consumed before, and the eye drops that Zheng Yichen took out are worthy of this price, let alone 50,000 gold coins, even if it is doubled, the money will be given.
The Templar Church's research on the Otherworldly Curse has not gone well, mainly because they want to see that the Otherworldly Curse must be contaminated with the curse, and those who are not strong enough to judge how much useful information can be used, and those who are not strong in will have not found any useful information, and they have not even been killed by the curse, and they have already gone crazy first.
And the powerful, the speed of the spread of the curse of the other world is particularly rapid, and the harm and legacy brought are also more serious, the cost of lifting the curse is very great, the gains outweigh the losses, and the restrictions of various reasons make the Templar Church very helpless, although they are only now doing it to the Explorer Alliance, but the Templar Church has made a lot of preparations before.
Zheng Yichen took out this bottle of special eye drops at this time, although it was a little late, but there was no discount in terms of value, in the style of the Holy Church, of course, I bought it first, and then said, as for the ineffect? This dragon is not stupid enough to sell them fakes, right?
So this money Oro is quite relieved, if this dragon doesn't even want credibility for a mere 50,000 gold coins, then he must have been pierced by the soul and changed his inner person.
And look at Oro's reaction to this kind of eye drops, the Templar Church doesn't seem to know this, it seems that Lilia originally reported the information, concealing such a thing as eye drops, Zheng Yichen smiled, the laughing Oro was a little strange, he looked down at his hand, and then looked at the cards that Zheng Yichen put out on the table, no matter how you look at it, he can't go back to the sky, whether it is the combination of cards or luck, today he is so much worse, every time he draws a hand that can turn the table, Zheng Yichen is one step ahead of the preparation of the cards to counter the accidentγ
He doesn't mean to admit defeat.,Card games.,That's it.,Even if it's all kinds of bad things in adversity.,But after knowing what cards are hidden in your deck.,Don't give up.,Maybe the next card draw will be able to draw the card you want.,So as to break the adversity.,Look at the confused expression of the other party after overturning.γ
It's a pity that there were no such surprises this time.
At the end of the game, the matter of the eye drops has also been feedback, the Templar Church has already tested the effect of this eye drop, and it is indeed as Zheng Yichen said, the other party's research progress on the cursed otherworld has surpassed that of the Templar Church!
Well, the new basis for cooperation is here, and after this time, the radicals of the church will also have to stop, for Zheng Yichen, the radicals of the church have never relaxed, but the influence of this dragon is quite large, and it has not given those radicals a chance to find fault, and those radicals will also appear passive if they do it for no reason.
However, as time went by, some moderates also gave up hope for Zheng Yichen, and it was impossible to expect this dragon to take the initiative to betray the witch.
In the face of such a goal, the moderates have achieved much better results than the radicals, after all, the radicals' methods are mainly tough, this is not to educate children, and the use of tough methods is easy to make people rebellious, but Zheng Yichen obviously has no place to let the moderates continue to play a role, so in terms of decision-making on Zheng Yichen, the radicals began to gain the upper hand.
It's just that Zheng Yichen has played a new role and influence at this time, and the radicals' right to speak is undoubtedly going to be weakened, who made Zheng Yichen the climate, it is not something that can be moved casually, as for the initial moderate's contact is a decision-making error, this is not a decision-making error at all, but an accident.
Not to mention the moderates, even the radicals didn't expect that there would be such a strange thing in this world, ignoring the witch's own curse of fate, he was the first case, the moderate's first action was also the result of the radicals' acquiescence, so if something went wrong, it can't be said that who is right and who is wrong, it can only be said that fate is impermanent, and both factions have mistakes.
Therefore, from Zheng Yichen's disregard for the curse of the witch's fate, the Templar Church knew that no matter how good the cooperation is now, there will inevitably be a conflict in the future, and it is inevitable that the influence of the radicals will increase, and the moderates will not observe and contact Zheng Yichen more now, and they have other things to do to prepare for the conflict that will inevitably arise in the future......
For example, if you get rid of the dragon clan, Zheng Yichen is a dragon, when there is a conflict, if this dragon goes to sue his parents and pulls over a group of dragons to cheer, it will be very difficult for the Templar Church to do it, so instead of waiting for that kind of thing to happen at that time, simply prepare in advance.
By the way, I talked to the dragons about the transfiguration, and the dragons' attitude became a little subtle.
Right now, Zheng Yichen's hand, Oro fully doubted whether this dragon was flexing his muscles, telling the Templar Church that he had studied the otherworldly curse more thoroughly than you, and it was even possible to use this curse, if you wanted to make trouble, you should take it easy, this possibility may not be impossible.
To be honest, as a moderate Oro, he has a headache for Zheng Yichen's current growth height, he has no special power, but after the power in his hand is dangerous enough, the single force is more dominant, because without the concern of the force, he can do things casually in many cases, and it is easier to break the net.
Don't give this dragon a chance? Don't think too much, think about how this dragon debuted, it was King Gou at the beginning, and Gou didn't really run out after the Transfiguration appeared, but the problem is ...... Who can be completely sure that this 'ontology' that runs out is the real ontology? Don't forget that this dragon is a sub-master, and he is particularly good at alchemy, blacksmithing, engineering, and life magic, and according to some gossip, this dragon also seems to have mastered relatively basic space magic skills.
So what else will this dragon not do besides fighting?
As for the battle, the genius who can pile up the sub-profession to this height, no matter how weak the chicken is in terms of combat, it is only for those strong existence weak chickens, and it is probably more than enough to deal with the vast majority of the strong people in this world, according to the analysis of the Templar Church, the hidden combat power of this dragon now, I am afraid that the three dragons together can't beat this little dragon, this is still an underestimated result!
A dragon with a witch behind it, don't think about overestimating the combat power, it is more accurate to underestimate it, in short, under the premise that the body of this dragon may be a high number of nesting dolls, it is really not a wise choice to act aggressively, unless when the camouflage of the alchemy incarnation made by this dragon is cracked.
is not only the physical crack, but also the camouflage of the soul breath, so that we can confirm whether Zheng Yichen who is active outside is the body, of course, there is also a way to confirm, that is, to wait for this dragon to enter the combat state, and then transform into this body, most of the people who can change into this body are not flesh and blood incarnations, right?
But the number of battles this dragon is too small.
Do you want to test whether this dragon has really mastered the curse of the other world? Sorting out his deck, his mind was thinking at high speed, after sorting out the deck, he gave up this idea, the point of temptation is not great, this dragon is also very shrewd, he can take the initiative to reveal some information with a strong purpose.
If he tried it, he would see through it and provide some misleading information, so it would be better to observe more in his future actions, whether Zheng Yichen was concerned about the curse of the other world, or the unknown ruins in the lair of the Explorer Alliance, or whether he knew that there was something special in that ruins......
And have enough confidence to get those things.
"It's so late, I'm going to get some things I can use, and I'll play tomorrow. Zheng Yichen took out the half-meter-sized pocket watch, looked at the time under the slightly beating gaze of Oro's eyes, waved his hand at him, and walked out of the field store.
During the time they were playing cards, there was a new change in the number of church members in the outside world, and there were dozens more, all of them heavily armed...... It is estimated that after Oro's side came into contact with Zheng Yichen, the church sent an additional increase, in short, these people are all filled with a strong atmosphere.
Hawkers, what to do next, ordinary combat power has no effect, and it will be sent when it comes.
In the wild store, Oro put away his card deck and left here, he didn't plan to test some information about the otherworldly curse, but the cooperation still had to be discussed, Zheng Yichen unilaterally interrupted the conversation in this regard, it was really out of rhythm, he also wanted to ask Zheng Yichen what level of knowledge of the otherworldly curse, this is a direct question, not a tentative question.
How much to answer depends on Zheng Yichen's thoughts.
"Come to play cards?" returned to the camp, looking at the bodyguard who didn't say a word, Oro raised the deck in his hand, the latter stiffened his face, glanced at Oro, and almost spit out a cold fuck, playing cards with this guy, he would rather go to a fight with Mercer, a fight can be cool, playing cards with him is simply abused.
Sometimes luck comes, as long as it's not the kind of luck that directly crushes him to death, this guy can also come back in all kinds of rounds, and the bodyguard who has never won once decided not to play cards with this mustache in the future, he likes to play with whoever he likes.
"Alas, lonely. The closest person to him didn't want to play cards with him, Oro shook his head and said a little helplessly, as if he hadn't lost just now.
"Less nonsense, how to arrange the next action?"
"Wait, how else can it be arranged, you won't want to go up alone to resist the Explorer Alliance's protective enchantment, right?"
The bodyguard raised his eyebrows slightly, he is not a fool Of course he won't go up to fight that thing, although he won't be shot to death, but that protective enchantment is connected to the elemental ore vein, no matter how much he resists, he can't resist it.
"Take a good rest, we're not the only ones paying attention to the Explorer Alliance this time. Aoro said, glancing around, it's a pity that Achill is with another team, not here, if he is here, he can play a few tricks with himself in the card game.
As for whether they will be discovered by the Explorer Alliance while waiting here...... Is it important to be discovered? The people of the Explorer Alliance are not blind, they have long known that the otherworldly curse has leaked, and when they know this, they can think of what will happen next, at most, they are analyzing how many forces are looking for them to deviate from this, and nothing else.
The general trend is like this, so whether it is secretly rubbing the hands, or pushing it over openly, after they have made sufficient preparations, the result is the same, who let the Explorer Alliance have a very guaranteed turtle shell protection? Or is it all-round protection, with the support of an elemental vein, plus the contact between the demon soldier network and the outside world, so that they can order takeout and other operations, and the Explorer Alliance can survive for a while.
So after almost all of the people who should have come are here, F2A will do, and then depending on their respective abilities, instead of thinking about attacking, it is better to attract the part of people who can be won over in the preparation time.
