Zhao Wenrui, who lacks positive influence, has undoubtedly made great strides on the road of blackening.

But while the fall is easier, it doesn't happen overnight. In the context of not having enough weighty resistance, after Zhao Wenrui completed a wave of killings, his madness retreated and his sanity rose.

He realized that a big city like Riverside City could never be guarded by strong people, and if he didn't know how to stop in moderation, it would be difficult for him to escape easily.

And the reality is more sinister than he imagined.

If it weren't for the special period, within 5 minutes of the start of the battle at the city gate, there would be a legendary-level powerhouse on the scene.

You must know that this is a world where the transcendent spells are so perfect that they are universally used, and there are abundant monitoring spells, including the monitoring of the lives of the city guards.

In the event of a large number of deaths in a very short period of time, an alarm will be triggered. Therefore, what is really fast is actually the extraordinary early warning system tied to the large magic array, rather than some alarm bell or signal flare for help.

The only reason why the legendary powerhouse didn't jump out in time this time was because of intelligence leaks.

For many people in the Holden branch of Freemasonry, the abolition of the branch and the change from light to dark is definitely a big deal, after all, it affects interests, or more bluntly, affects jobs.

Cecil was deflated by the bigwigs at the headquarters, as if he couldn't retreat, and was roasted on the fire, but at least he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and the middle and low-level members of the branch were different.

Needless to say, the pressure of supporting a family is needless to say, and more importantly, I am usually used to being a powerful person, but now I have to start pretending to be a grandson, and even find a way out on my own, how can I balance my heart.

Therefore, some people secretly decided, 'You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust,' and sell some information while it is still valuable.

This has led to many people who are interested, although the information they get is not as complete and detailed as the Masonic headquarters, but the ins and outs are clear.

And soon, some specious conclusions were drawn through analysis.

For example, the bigwigs of Hejian City believe in the 'bait theory'.

To put it simply, he thinks that this emerging force is a 'yin table' that attaches great importance to the "archway", and it is obviously doing the dirty thing of killing people and setting fires, but it always stands on the moral high ground as much as possible.

For the big guy in RiverCity City, this taste is very familiar, and the church of the gods basically plays like this, of course, the purpose is to deceive those foolish people, so that they can harvest more faith.

In such a context, the bigwigs of Hejian City are particularly wary of righteous people who are single-handed, not bad, and like to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers.

And the conflict that happened at the entrance of the bridge made him have a bad association.

It was this bigwig who took the initiative to come forward and suppressed the timely assistance of the legendary powerhouse, and even artificially created some obstacles to the assembly and assistance of the city defense army, and then vowed to severely punish the murderer, so as not to fear the people and chill the city guards.

In fact, it is true from the heart to kill the family of the guard who caused the incident by killing a hundred people.

repeatedly demanded restraint, but some people turned a deaf ear and committed crimes against the wind.

But in fact, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, what is the atmosphere of the city guards, what kind of style do the guards usually do, can the city lord not force the number? Obviously, it is an upward and downward effect, but in the end, only the state officials are allowed to set fire to the people and prevent the people from lighting the lamps.

In any case, the city lord of Hejian City was forbearant and insidious, and Zhao Wenrui, who thought he was quite clever in his strategy of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, was actually seen through by Hejian City's clever magic vigilance system.

The monitor even made a special color mark on Zhao Wenrui's display highlights on the magic light map, so that unless Zhao Wenrui realized the existence of surveillance and took effective concealment measures, his general movements were always in control.

Zhao Wenrui didn't notice the monitoring, mainly because his thinking habits caused him to have a certain prejudice and contempt for magic technology, he didn't expect that there was a special magic array, which was more powerful than the city-level camera monitoring system on the technology side, which could monitor the whole of the living beings, and also carry out separate locking, real-time tracking and other operations.

But he also has his strengths.

At level 13, the druid will be able to gain the special ability of the 'Thousand Faces' class.

This ability is different from the disguise of the Assassins and the like, but more like the full-scale mimicry of the shapeshifting monster, from the color of the skin to every hair, it can be imitated vividly, and it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Therefore, Zhao Wenrui played the drama of 'impostor', and the only thing to worry about is whether the imitation of temperament is in place.

When he was massacring at the bridge gate, he was already thinking about the specific operation of 'dark under the lights'.

When he had had enough, he manipulated the power of the shadows to create the appearance of a long and long away, in order to show it to a few witnesses, while he himself, by virtue of the darkness before nightfall, entered the inner city.

He didn't sneak into the shadow plane, after watching the Black Earth Town from the shadow plane, he knew that this kind of relatively important town, the magic array system is perfect, especially sensitive to space magic, and what he guards against is the surprise attack of opening the space door, as well as tactics such as internal and external cooperation.

Of course, he still underestimated the sophistication of the application of this world's magic array. The magic array can stare every living creature in the area to death, from the 'breath of life' to the 'soul glow', double locked, very sharp.

Although Zhao Wenrui has not entered the shadow plane, he still has a hidden advantage, after all, he is a shadow druid, not to mention the terrifying affinity with the power of shadow now, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a patron of shadows.

Sneak into the city, and the next thing to do is to choose an unlucky guy to take his place.

At this time, Zhao Wenrui's literary youth disease was committed again. In other words, in the process of blackening, his mentality is inherently unstable, often filled with an almost antagonistic struggle, which is about the final embodiment of conscience.

The intuitive manifestation is that the temperament is twisted, and when the right people are killed, they obviously ignore that there may be good people in the soldiers of the city guards, and they are self-consistent with statements like 'cars, ships, feet, and teeth, and they should be killed if they are not guilty', and then it caused the tragic ending of nearly 100 families.

Now, but it's exquisite, carefully chosen, which one damns.

Specifically, it is to detect evil to make a rough selection, and then choose the relatively suitable one from among them.

In this way, tossing until the night after tomorrow can be regarded as chosen.

Interestingly, it is precisely because of this 'exquisiteness' that the invisible noose around Zhao Wenrui's neck has become looser.

Specifically, in order to achieve realistic role-playing, Zhao Wenrui did his best, which led to the change of the spirit and flesh level, and this was mainly due to the druid's extraordinary combat duties. Or rather, the divine power of nature.

Although nature in this world, and even in this universe, is tragically ravaged and distorted, it is the foundation of the entire universe and has the characteristics of immortality and immortality.

Its divine power is very weak, but it can also give shelter to its believers in the smallest details. And this shelter is everywhere.

It is precisely because of the natural endorsement that unless Zhao Wenrui is imprisoned in a special forbidden demon prison, or by using absolute level suppression to erase Zhao Wenrui's talent priority, there is no kind of magic that can stare at a great druid once and for all.

The specific change feedback was reflected on the magic array display device controlled by the boss of Hejian City, which was marked as a special bright spot, and suddenly went out.

"Damn!" the person in charge of monitoring furiously furious.

Soon after, it was this man who reported to his superiors in a low voice.

Even if it wasn't his fault, the monitor was beaten up.

Turning his face and punishing the watcher, he had to explain to the city lord with a shy face.

The city lord didn't beat anyone, after all, the boss of the monitor is a legendary powerhouse, and there are several high-end combat forces in Hejian City, even if it has been confirmed that he can't go further, he can't fight and scold as much as he wants like the third grandson.

"In other words, the probability of the target completely escaping is not high, just getting rid of the lock and incarnating as a member of the beings in that area, and the people in the entire sensitive area have now been specially marked, as long as it is supplemented by personnel monitoring and a little more patience, the target can be dug out?"

"Yes, the personnel are basically in place now. ”

"What if I accidentally alarm the other party?"

"From the moment the other party was unlocked, I deployed and acted on the assumption that 'the other party already knew that they were lurking and failed'. ”

The legendary powerhouse further explained: "I think the main purpose of the target is to make trouble, and we only need to use this as a clue to find him in time. ”

"Okay, but you have to remember that our core idea is not to track down and annihilate, but to avoid becoming a sacrifice for the rise of the other party. ”

"Understood. The legendary powerhouse said this, but he didn't think so in his heart, and secretly thought: "The other party really wants to find trouble, and there are many reasons for it, shrinking his head and self-discipline, which is meaningless." ”

Not only this legendary powerhouse, but also several church bigwigs, think so.

After all, RiverCity has a long history, once the political and cultural center of the Holden area, and later found a good gold mine in the south of Holden, coupled with the better geographical location there, Red Cliff City rose in one fell swoop, became the economic leader of the entire region, and then won the position of the capital, replacing the Riverside City.

Even today, however, the people of Riverside still regard Red Cliffs as an upstart, priding themselves on their rich history and culture, including the ancient and elegant church buildings.

And the clergy of the churches here are indeed more sophisticated, mainly because there is a library of secret books accumulated through time, and it is also a training place for senior clergy in the entire Holden area.

It is precisely because of the knowledge in one hand and the power in the other that the church here is coaxing from top to bottom.

Also, in the Kingdom of Katyn, the belief in gods is a complete system of minor gods, including the gods of justice and courage, light and power, agriculture and climate, magic and craftsmen, and the gods of the underworld.

Among them, the god of the underworld is the eldest brother, and the reason is simple, only with this priesthood can he better keep believers in captivity.

Its function is mainly to deal with the human soul below the panbeliever.

There is a prerequisite for going to the kingdom of God after death, that is, to reach a certain standard of piety before you are eligible to become a prayer provider.

In addition, this is not simply the reason for the pickiness of the gods, but the lack of piety, and the cost of extradition of the kingdom of God is extremely high, and the benefits are very low.

In other worlds of gods, such as the DND universe, the likes of panbelievers will basically fall into the hands of the gods of the underworld, and then enter the transcendent natural cycle program, which is broken down into the most basic raw materials to be used as the basis for the birth of new beings, which is called dust to dust and earth to earth.

But in this universe, because it has been played out and is on the verge of collapse, some of the root elements are particularly scarce.

For example, souls.

This name was coined by Kane, and this world calls it Soul Essentia.

For the gods, the Soul Essentia is a scarce resource that is not too much. Only when there is enough soul essentia can intelligent beings be born, otherwise it is a desert of faith.

Therefore, the soul essentia is a recyclable means of production. Under the constraints of excellent technology, the loss of the total amount of soul essentia is very limited, and it will only be transformed, similar to the transformation of corpses into farmhouse fertilizer.

That is to say, the gods have created an extraordinary ecological closed loop for their own needs, like an ecological garden, and the beliefs generated by intelligent creatures when they are alive are like the vegetation in the ecological garden to produce food and fruits.

And this transcendent ecological closed loop is an application based on nature. It's like an alternative global nuclear war, which leads to ecological destruction, and the surviving humans have created a super-large ecosystem in order to survive.

This is also a major reason why places similar to the Divine Death Wasteland are extremely unfriendly to the wisdom gods, and all kinds of san points are dropped.

Therefore, what is most lacking in this universe is not energy in the ordinary sense, but the very mysterious element of soul essentia.

According to a transcendent explanation: life is originally a miracle in the universe, and human beings, who are different from the origin world, regard it as a comprehensive embodiment of a series of coincidences, and in the eyes of some wise transcendentals, the emergence of life is actually an inevitability, a phenomenon that will inevitably appear in the process of continuous evolution of the universe.

Life carries the information of the universe from birth to destruction, and it can also be received, and life is the meaning of the birth and death of the universe.

However, just as some fruit trees bear fruit, but they are not picked and preserved or used at the right time, so that they die with the fruit trees, if life does not jump out of the framework of the universe of birth and death, and does not take away the information of evolution, then it is equivalent to bearing fruit in vain.

In any case, in the eyes of these transcendentals, life is the essence of the universe, and intelligent life is the essence of the essence.

And what about the gods who feed on the belief in intelligent life? Naturally, they are worthy of the title of a higher life form.

Under this cognition, in the context of the desertification of the soul essentia in the entire Great Star Boundary, the fundamental reason why the gods can exist safely is that there is such an existence that can create an extraordinary ecological garden, which is why the god of the underworld is respected, not the god of light, and so on.

Moreover, what gods are in a god system, they are also dressed and eaten to take care of the belongings, in this acre of three points of land, how to divide the priesthood, depending on the need, everyone must contribute their own strength to maintain this group.

This is very different from the DND universe's 'God Position takes turns, come to my house tomorrow'.

It can be said that although the divine court of the Great Star Universe does not seem to be prosperous, and the division of the divine positions is not delicate enough, and it has the rough characteristics of the primitive divine system, in fact, if it is really placed in a relatively fair environment, the divine court of the Great Star Universe can be divided into 36 Tiangang and 72 Earth Demons in a very short period of time, and each divine position is full, and then 108 large arrays are placed to hang the various divine systems of the DND universe and fight.

It's just that in the here and now, there is no point in pretending to be so powerful, reducing expenses, and minimizing internal friction from the root is what this small team is pursuing, so it's just five.

Its structure even makes it easy for Cairn to associate with a well-defined combat group under the special forces system.

Justice and courage, light and strength, as soon as you hear the name, you know that you are thugs, and in one sentence the explanation is to justify the great glory of violence.

Agriculture and climate, magic and craftsmen, which are obviously auxiliary in wartime, the main force in internal affairs in peacetime, both of which represent the workers and peasants, are the basis of civilization.

Plus a captain who has an overview of the overall situation, Qi Huo'er. If there are conditions, you can add the god of business, the god of roads, the god of art, etc., and if there are no conditions, this small team can operate.

Correspondingly, the churches of the five gods are also very closely connected.

In the case of Rivertown, for example, there is a common parish, but there is a specific division within it, like a composite community with different types of houses. Externally, it is called the union of righteousness and God.

If there are righteous gods, there will naturally be evil gods and false gods.

For example, those gods who rely on the power of faith sold by the sellers are evil gods, false gods, and heretics for the union of righteous gods.

The reason why we do not make every effort to eradicate it is mainly because of interests.

The specific situation is a bit like the Origin World is opening up the net to corrupt officials in order to recover as much money as possible from their embezzlement. After all, from the perspective of soul essentia, the divine kingdom of every god is built with soul essentia. Not to mention those who pray, just to create the special existence of the Kingdom of God, the variant of the soul essentia is the glue, and the gods themselves are more refined soul essence, once the transformation is completed, it is definitely a lot of income.

Of course, the actual situation is more complicated, after all, there is more than one god lineage, and there is competition and even hostility between each other. And the evil gods and pseudo-gods are not really the fat on the chopping board, and some will choke themselves to death once they are not swallowed well, not to mention the gameplay of combining vertical and horizontal.

Therefore, the circle of gods and spirits is also very complicated, even if it is a retreat at the level of the super ecosystem, there is still the loss and acquisition of the soul essentia, such as the sale of human snakes and slaves, in the eyes of the gods, it is the circulation of the soul essence, and various economic and trade interactions between countries are also necessary. After all, shepherds are much more complicated than shepherds.

It is precisely because of a series of objective factors that even if the Katyn Kingdom is the world of Zhenglian (Zhengshen Union), Zhenglian is still cautious when it encounters special events.

The five bishops of Zhenglian in Hejian City discussed the Qiaomen Bloody Case, as well as the Qiu Zhai and Magic Crystal Mines in a timely manner.

They agreed that the most likely thing about tearing up the Holden branch of Freemasonry was an attempt by some deity to resurrect it.

This is because the emergence of high-end forces will not be for no reason, after all, high-end combat power is not cabbage, if you want to form, from a certain point of view, it is like building a city fortress, even if you don't know where the city fortress is covered, you can also show traces through the circulation of means of production, such as a large number of artificial, masonry materials, and so on.

Only the gods, because they have been accumulated in the past, even if they fall, they have a vote of diehards that have become distorted supporters, and they can take out more than 20 people with legendary strength at one time without any warning in advance.

The five bishops also believed that since the deity had bared his fangs, sooner or later he would clash with the Orthodox. Only by doing one game and winning can its ambitions be stifled, and it cannot be hidden.

It's just that the other party is currently targeting the powerful.

"The other party has a good calculation, thinking that without touching our interests, we can appease one faction, fight the other faction, get actual benefits, and gain a firm foothold. ”

"What about us? Take the initiative to intervene and cooperate with the elites?"

"No, for the time being, we let them think that the plan has succeeded, and they will show the posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, gathering intelligence. ”

"So what to do in the dark?"

"Mobilize people and horses, actively prepare, as long as the other party shows a little decline, we will unite with the powerful and chase after them!"

"Wouldn't it be good to let this force fight each other with the powerful for a while?"

"It's not good, no one is stupid, if it's really the result of half a catty, it's not easy to fight, but gradually form some kind of tacit understanding, have you forgotten the lesson of 'sit-down war'?"

The sit-down war, a bad war of great significance to Zhenglian.

Through this war, the Katyn magnates stuffed Zhenglian with a sloppy gravel.

Originally, Zhenglian wanted to weaken the strength of an awakened pseudo-god through the powerful, but it turned out to be self-defeating, but instead allowed the pseudo-god to stand firm, and now he has become one of the gods who compete with Zhenglian for the power of faith, believing in its secret church, active in the people and slave communities, very difficult.

The city lord of Hejian City actually wanted to cause trouble, after all, his judgment of the forces behind Zhao Wenrui also thought that it was a certain awakened god. And peers are enemies, and the contradiction between the gods and spirits with more wolves and less meat can be said to be life-and-death.

As a result, both sides did not move, so that Zhao Wenrui, who was in the eye of the storm, enjoyed a few days of comfortable life.

However, in just a few days, the powerful and the church, secret societies, and careerists were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and in order to fish in troubled waters, they took the initiative to fan the flames and create chaos......
