Chapter 100: The Price of Change
The war continues.
One end of the battlefield was inseparable, and it was dark, while on the other side, Shen Yi and Cliff continued to wander and chat, exchanging secrets about the city.
Out of Cliff's selflessness, Shen Yi also told Cliff the contents of the Death Note they had seen in the valley.
After learning about this secret, Cliff and Shen Yi sighed at the greatness of those pioneer revolutionaries. In contrast, today's adventurers have long lost interest in fighting the city, and only think about how to live comfortably every day.
Of course, for Shen Yi and Cliff, who knew that there was still an endless war in the future, this dream had long been shattered, but it was to dig out the secrets of the city, which became a common interest for the two and the meaning of their hard work.
At this moment, Cliff replied: "I don't really know how the Fifth Age came about, but I can be sure that I haven't heard anything about rebellion, and the Dane family's knowledge of the city still has its limitations......"
According to Cliff, the city was truly founded 110 years ago, eight years after the Dane family, and Earth Time should be 1902.
This year, the first science fiction movie on Earth, "Journey to the Moon", came out.
However, at that time, due to the scarcity of movies, the mission world was still in its infancy, and most of the time people could only fight in the wilderness and then return to the city to rest.
It wasn't until a decade later that more and more films matured, the city acquired enough themes, and the door to the mission world was fully opened to adventurers.
From this day on, the direction of the adventurers' battles completely shifted from the wilderness to the world of quests.
Since then, Bloody City has gone through two eras.
The vanished Quaternary and the present Fifth Age.
No one knows exactly how the Fifth Age came about, not even the Dane family, which has a long tradition and memory heritage.
The only thing they knew was that with the establishment of the Bloody City, the chances of survival of a large number of adventurers had greatly increased, and the strength of the Quarez people had never been stronger.
They have defeated the terrible Zerg outside of space time and time again, and are brewing a large-scale counteroffensive to completely wipe out this runaway race from the universe.
However, this is the end of the fragment of history.
No one knows how that large-scale war took place.
But one thing is certain.
The city is defeated!
They retreated to the city and continued to make drastic changes to the city.
The city enters the Fifth Age.
In addition to the further improvement of the city's function and capacity system, the most obvious change is the emergence of managers in the city.
This is the secret of the bloody city that the Dane family knows.
"What about that girl, how much do you know about that girl?" Shen Yi asked.
Cliff shrugged, "Unfortunately, we don't know much about her. But the first time the Dane family knew about the girl was thirty years ago. ”
"Thirty years ago, doesn't that mean she's at least thirty years old?" Although Shen Yi had already guessed that the years of the girl in white might be far beyond the age she appeared, he was still startled when he heard the word thirty years.
However, Cliff replied meaningfully: "Shen Yi, tell me that you look at that girl now, how old does she look like?"
"Ten to twelve years old. ”
"Thirty years ago, when this girl appeared, she looked more like she was five or six years old. ”
Shen Yi was stunned: "You mean ......"
Cliff replied, "She's evolving, just like human beings are growing, and it's getting faster and faster." When she appeared thirty years ago, she was like a child who didn't understand anything, and couldn't even attract the attention of the city. But now, she has become the city's biggest nightmare, the target of the Supreme Council's headache all the time. According to my guess, it is very likely that the manager appeared for this girl...... It's a pity that until now they can't do anything about her. ”
"Oh yes. Cliff added: "According to the family's analysis, since this girl appeared thirty years ago as five or six years old and continued to grow, it is likely that she has been around for much longer than we know." ”
"I guess you can build a mathematical model based on this to figure out when she was born. ”
"That's true. Cliff suddenly put his head to Shen Yi's ear and whispered: "If this mathematical model is not wrong, then her real existence should have been more than a hundred years, considering that she is omnipotent in the mission world, it is very likely that she will ......"
"She was born at the same time as the city?" Shen Yi Huo Ran woke up.
"That's true!" replied Cliff.
"What happened during that time that made her appear with the founding of the city?"
"I don't know. The Quaternary is an era in which the Juggernaut makes major concessions to adventurers, and many new things appear at this time, including the creation of the city, the opening of the quest world, more and more complete ability systems, and the establishment of various rules, it can be said that the Quaternary is a huge watershed that is completely different from the previous ones. You know that when a society undergoes great changes, it must be accompanied by some pains caused by change, as well as some regrets that may be caused by haste and not having time to consider. Most of these regrets and pains may not have any effect, but some may develop into a cancer that can destroy everything in the future. ”
"So this girl in white was born in this revolution for some special reason?"
"It's just my guess. ”
"Maybe not a guess, but you remind me of what those managers said to me. Shen Yi muttered to himself: "She is a vulnerability of the system, she is a bug of life, she is a virus of the program, and she is the nightmare of the Supreme Council......"
At that moment, his heart was suddenly in his heart, as if he suddenly understood something. He whispered, "Maybe they didn't lie about it...... But no matter what she is, since she exists in this world, she must have the foundation and root of her existence. If we can learn more about the city, we may be able to find out where she came from. ”
"It wasn't easy, even with the countless generations of efforts of the Dane family, they couldn't find an answer, and the city regarded her existence as a top secret. Shen Yi, listen to me, don't ask about the girl's origin, it's a taboo. ”
"Maybe she's the key to getting us out of this world?"
"That's just a rumor, Shen Yi, the rumor is not credible. In the more than 100 years of the Dane family's history, there has never been a single person who has been helped by that girl to go to freedom, only countless fools have died at her instigation!"
"Then you don't know what she's talking about independent will?"
"I don't know, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known there was such a thing as an independent will! God knows what the hell that is, we still know too little about this world, maybe another hundred years will not be enough. Cliff replied with a sigh.
The two of them walked and talked, and this time Cliff poured beans into a bamboo tube and gave him everything he could.
As the battle between the adventurers and the Blood Mages and the Guardians of the Jungle was coming to an end, Cliff looked around and said, "I have to go, go back and stabilize those guys, you know that it is a hassle to keep the Nether Wolves from bothering you." If they see me talking to you here, they're going crazy. ”
Shen Yi smiled: "You should let them know that you didn't let them come to me to make trouble, but you actually saved their lives." ”
"Indeed, they are not qualified to be hostile to you at all. But Shen Yi, there are still some teams in the third difficulty, which are far more powerful than the Nether Wolf, and even more powerful than the Brute Bull team. ”
Shen Yi's eyes condensed slightly: "You don't want to tell me that I will meet such a team soon, right?"
Cliff patted Shen Yi: "My last word of advice...... Watch out for the Ash Chariot!"
As he spoke, he stepped back, and Eva, the woman in blue, appeared like a ghost, and disappeared with Cliff at the same time.
"Ash Chariot ......" Shen Yi slowly chewed on this term, and some images of this term vaguely appeared in his mind.
It's the name of a team.
Along with the name comes madness, gore, and endless killing.
He took out his computer and carefully entered the name Ember Chariot into it as his first job after returning.
Of course, he could get direct news from Cliff, but Cliff had helped him enough that he decided to settle the matter himself.
In the distance, there was a desperate cry from a man before he died, and it was the blood mage who had finally lost his strength and collapsed in the frenzied attack of the adventurers.
The ripple effect of one hero's fall is that the other hero, the Jungle Guardian, begins to lose its grip.
However, at this time, several adventurers suddenly rushed out of the elf camp, desperately blocking Chu Sheng and the others, and retreated in the direction of the elf camp.
But adventurers will not give them a chance to escape.
King Kong Zhou Yiyu appeared, Eternal Night appeared, and even the Dragon Tooth Team appeared.
Under the joint efforts of Shen Yi, the adventurers gave full play to the spirit of group fighting. When they attacked the human heroes, the adventurers of the human camp automatically retreated, and when they attacked the undead heroes, Lao Meng and the others dodged one after another, and now they began to attack the elven heroes, and all the disappeared people reappeared.
It looks like a scuffle, but in reality, it always maintains a situation of fighting more and less, and devours the target one by one.
Occasionally, humans or other adventurers from the undead camp would join in the fun, and whenever that happens, King Kong and Lao Meng would lure them to other places.
So this bloody land is like a killing field for heroes, a blender of flesh and blood, which has devoured the lives of several heroes in just a few hours.
The adventurers of the elven camp alone were completely unable to resist the joint attack of the four teams of adventurers from the three clans, not to mention that even Cliff had helped Shen Yi transfer many adventurers.
Finally, under the frantic attack of dozens of adventurers, the Guardian of the Jungle, Eastbrook, spilled blood on the battlefield, and the third hero of the elven camp and the most noble one completely returned to the West.
The death of Eastbrook in battle has severely damaged the morale of the elven camp, and the adventurers of the Southern District have completely abandoned this mission. They still fought hard, but this time, they fought to reduce the punishment.
But no matter how hard they try, there will always be some people who are destined to be wiped out because they can't pay the fine.
Perhaps because of this, the adventurers of the elven camp instead developed a kind of hysterical madness.
They don't want to kill the enemy, even if they die, they have to pull one into the water.
Seeing this scene, Shen Yi sighed slightly.
He knew that his journey of hunting heroes was only afraid that it would end early at this stage.
Desperate people are the most terrifying, no matter what, Shen Yi doesn't want to face such a group of adventurers.
So he ordered a retreat, leaving the undead and human camp to bear the wrath of the mad adventurers of the Southern District.
"It's a pity, in fact, there is still time, we can kill one or two more heroes. Chu Sheng muttered as he ran, and he was still holding a blood magic robe in his hand, which was the equipment dropped by the blood magician. Shen Yi plundered the Blood Mage's weapon, the Flame Gem, which has the power of strengthening the fire skill by 25%, which can be stacked with the effect of any similar equipment props, and also gives it to the fat man.
As for the Guardians of the Jungle, Shen Yi failed to plunder, and the equipment dropped was given to Kurt as compensation for their rebellion.
Lost the skills of the big/mage and gained two pieces of equipment, the fangs team is not a loss in terms of value, and in terms of actual combat effect, the two pieces of equipment are not as good as a brilliant aura, and the fangs team still suffers a lot of losses, but for them, this is already a loss to recover as much as possible.
Shen Yi replied: "You can be content, killing one more is equivalent to driving another camp of adventurers crazy...... The Southern District is now destined to be the last place, there is no need to create suspense for a hero, if you really accidentally get the human or immortal to the last place, Lao Meng will also go crazy. ”
The human and undead camps are now also killing two heroes each, and if they die any more, they will be in the same situation as the elven camp, which is not what Shen Yi wants to see. It can be said that so far in this battle, the heroes that Shen Yi can kill have entered the limit state. As for the remaining heroes, let them stay alive.
As Shen Yi said, sometimes we can't expect perfection, we can only pursue the extreme close to perfection.
The ranks of the orcs retreated to the rear, the elves and the immortals on the battlefield, and the humans still mixed together. Shen Yi vaguely saw Chen Tao, Jiang Yitong and others, but unfortunately did not find Xie Rongjun.
This guy, who has never seen a rabbit or a hawk, and who has lost an arm, may be hiding somewhere licking his wounds and patiently waiting for the next ambush.
"Someday, I'll catch you. Shen Yi muttered.
