Chapter Eighty-Four: The Zikern Family Stronghold

From the checkpoint outside the labor camp, to the sentry post in the main logistics warehouse, to the main duty room, the deputy duty room, the SS dormitory, the communication room, and then to the miners' distribution area, the water supply station, and the entrance to the mine elevator, one soldier after another was killed by the harvest of Hado's sharp knife. www.biquge.info When he came out, he found that the soldiers who had come to reinforce him had also fallen under his own blade in this plane.

The two Hado didn't talk much, and it was here that Hado made his way to the Forest Divide, this time straight back to the plane where he was supposed to be.

It's just that Hadu doesn't know that his appearance in other planes and planes actually interferes with the normal operation of these planes, and also has a lot of impact on the normal order of experiments in those planes - but as the speaker said, as long as the impact on the experimental environment does not cause too much fluctuation in the conduct of the experiment, the system will not intervene and will not initiate a proposal for relevant intervention in the council.

As an experimental subject who has obtained extremely strong predatory ability, all his actions and experiences are important experimental data that the system needs to record, especially the time and space faults he has experienced, which are of very good reference significance for future experiments. Judging from the recorded information, not only was Hadu not threatened by his life, but he also knew a lot of things that he might encounter in the future, such as the regrouping of the tribe to form the "Buzakin'ne" and the survival of the Ethiopian Demon Church. These things should actually trigger the accumulation of good and evil points, but Hado is not a relevant knowledge obtained directly through the ability to plunder, that is, it is not a prerequisite for the accumulation of two values.

Due to the shielding of Hado's channeling mission, on the surface, his two-value accumulation is not important at all, and it has no effect on Hado's path, but to be exact, due to the settlement, Hadu's use of his predatory ability and his extended ability has changed the environment around him. From the perspective of good and evil values alone, the value of goodwill has reached 16,2000, and the value of malice is 22,3530, among so many people with predatory ability, his two values are rare and extremely high, but Hadu himself has lived alone for a long time and rarely goes out, and he does not pay attention to the views of the outside world, so he is not very sensitive to things that change by two values. If you look at the relationship between the outsider and him, you can see that both the people and his old rivals, the Egyptians and the Romans, can be said to love and hate him. It is his selflessness and omniscience that he loves, and what he hates is his casualness and disregard.

When the tribe needed someone to lead him the most, Hadu could wander around freely, even if the tribesmen were about to starve to death and kill each other because of a mouthful of bread, Hadu still stayed in the cave of "Falie" and watched slowly the results of his research of the Iger clan that he did not know whether it was true or false; the Egyptians did not recruit him to provoke him, he was able to swagger into the Valley of the Kings to "pass" the gold that only the pharaohs could use, and walk around the temple of Thebes at will, not only actually blaspheming the gods of the Egyptians, but also complaining about their polytheism.

It can be said that the accumulation of good and evil values is actually a data-based and rough summary of the outside world's views on Hadu, and the more these two values are accumulated, the more legends and rumors arise because of Hadu. Over time, Hadu became a symbol among the foreign population, which, combined with their own national legends, became more and more mysterious. And those who actually got along with Hado gradually began to be influenced by these legends, and even in the immediate vicinity of Hado, speculation about him increased. Even the guards around Hado were actually extremely curious about what the cave ** he lived in was like, why Hadu could be young and old for decades, and where the children who were sent into the cave had gone.

There is a legend that is very true: every 80 years, the "Koman'ne" will send a group of children to the cave, and the aging Hado will give them all his knowledge, and then choose one of them to pass on all his own experience, and finally pass on his face. This is why Hadu has been able to "live" for so long, and why Hadu has only aged young and aged in appearance for so many years, and his actual image has not changed much. As for the whereabouts of the other 79 children, the tribe kindly believed that there was also a lot to do in the cave, and that these people had lived in the cave all their lives, both to serve Hadu and to keep Hado's secrets.

And Hado was happy to spread such legends, and as long as no one saw the dead bodies at the bottom of his cave, he would never think of what a truly selfish man their leader was. Just like when he promised Satan to transport the Holy Thorn Crown to the Germanic region, if the other party hadn't promised him information about him, he wouldn't have done anything "to eliminate the threat for his people". The main thing he thought about was how he could solve the headache of the Zikon family once and for all before the 500-year truce, as for how the life of the clan was, Hadu had not taken care of it in the past 8,000 years, and he had no interest in the rest of the time.

Therefore, as soon as he emerged from the Germanic space-time fault, he immediately ran towards the teleportation tent of the Elger family's council hall, because he was sure that there must be teleportation smoke in the council hall that could lead directly to the demon church.

From mid-day to sunset, it took Hadu some time to identify the location where he had teleported, the tent was still in place, but the blood stains were basically no longer visible, of course, Queen Heng's vision was definitely gone, and it was thought that either the time limit had expired, or he would not stay here for long. Entering the teleportation smoke, Hadu did not appear in the Great Hall, but in a building that resembled the chapel of the Christian Church. Hadu was greeted by Satan, who had hired him on a mission, with a roll of parchment in his hand, apparently the information on the so-called Zikon family stronghold.

As for Hadu's inquiry about the Great Hall, Satan obviously didn't want to speak, so Hadu didn't bother to ask, and took the parchment scroll to check it. Judging from the information on the parchment, Zikern's nearest stronghold is in Sicily and a place called "Iran", Sicily is easy to go, as long as Hadu can reach it by boat from Alexandria, but the meaning of this "Iran" makes Hadu feel a little uncomfortable: the parchment scroll is a map, but it is not a map of the present, but a map of a point in time in the future. Each country is guarded by natural hazards, either rivers or mountains, and there are many countries, unlike now, when they were ruled by an empire or a tribe. For example, the area where the Roman Empire is now located is divided into more than 40 large and small countries, and in the northeast of Europe, a vast country has grown, and the west side of that large mountain range is a small and fragmented state.

The location of the "Iran" identified by the Zikon family should be what is now Persia, and that place is not peaceful. Before he arrived in Germania, Hado had heard from Satan that many of the believers in the Christian church who had found repression and persecution had gone there to preach. But the Persians were not the same as the Romans: the Romans were still ruled by an elite aristocracy, and the Persians were outside the royal family, and the rest of the inhabitants were mostly barbaric. There have been too many invasions of Greece by Persia in history, and the thousands of ships that attacked the Spartan city-states are still being told by bards throughout the Roman Empire. Hadu also knew the image of the Persian Kongwu, but in order to be able to solve more troubles in the future, Hadu decided to go to Persia.

Of course, he needs to take Sicily first to deal with the closest threat near "Koman'ne". When he left the chapel, he found that he had come to Bethlehem, and asked Satan again - good fellow, he had really spent 50 years on his trip to the Germanic region, and he would waste so much time just by going through a few time and space faults, which Hado did not expect.

Bethlehem is now run by the Christian church as their own holy city, after all, it was here that Jesus was born, and the vision of the light that year was not just seen by one or two people. But the situation of the Christians in the city was not very good: the Romans were bent on promoting the spread of Roman theology, and the Jews themselves were becoming more and more extreme, and it was not easy to spread the Christianity that yearned for peace. And since the Christian church is the root cause here, the unbelieving ordinary Levites often come to harass them, which annoys the Christians, while the predators turn a deaf ear to these things, which really have nothing to do with them, as long as they do not interfere with the process of their usual task of guidance.

The nominal leader of the Christian church today is one of the twelve disciples, Paul's disciple in Ephesus, who is said to have been the gatekeeper of Mary when she lived in Ephesus. As for why he is trusted, the main reason is that his predatory abilities can show many miracles - such as the golden light that does not serve any purpose all over his body.

Hadu came to visit him in the sanctuary where Glatus was and asked him for a carriage to take him to Alexandria. Even though the Christian church was in a bad situation, Gratus still thought of Hado's help to the Christian church and the disciples, and soon found the carriage that Hadu needed, and sent Hadu out of the city overnight through the basically inaccessible underground secret passages - the city gate was guarded by Roman powers, so that they could see Hadu, it must be another cumbersome inspection, and with Hado's temperament, it would be easy to think about what trouble it would bring.

After 50 years of construction, Alexandria was even more splendid than when Hado returned from Italy: the Romans cleared the reef near the spectacular Lighthouse of Alexandria and carved out a new port area for more warships and merchant ships, which expanded Alexandria's port area by a full 40% and made communication with nearby city-states more efficient.

The broad-sided skewing boat that the Christian Church had found for Hadu was docked at a small pier in the outer corner of the bay, some distance from the Roman-controlled port administration, and the nearby sea breeze was a good place to set sail quickly. But at the same time, because of the strong wind and waves, the big ships generally do not dock here - in the event of a storm in the Mediterranean, not to mention the mainmast, even the ship will be overturned - even if you are lucky not to be overturned by the wind, a beam of lightning will slash down, and the ship will be burned to char.

His luck in going to Sicily this time was not very good, he just encountered a storm, but for Hado, whether it was wind or waves or lightning thunderbolts, there would be no interference for him, he would blow back when the wind came, and he would turn back when the waves came, and the lightning would be as comfortable as taking a bath for him. But it was an ordinary Jew who carried the ship, and if it had not been for the great kindness of Hado to the Christian Church, this pure believer would not have been willing to risk his life to go to sea at the height of the storm. And when he reached the sea, the captain of the ship was stunned: the broad-sided boat was floating steadily at the head of the waves, and wherever the wind blew, the sails were drumming in the direction of Sicily, and even if he turned the rudder hard, he could not change the momentum of the ship.

In the wind and waves, Hadu stood in the bow of the ship, and not a trace of rain could wet his armor. Looking north in the direction of sailing, you can see the hazy island of Crete, and to the south is the Jhefala plain where Hadu once walked when he explored the blue sea. "There weren't ships before," Hado remembered when he flew about the blue sea in the great discus, when there weren't so many ships, and he could fly here at will without fear of anyone seeing his vision, but not now, not only did people everywhere stare at a predator like himself, but his own kind also coveted his own abilities, and there were no more casual and free days.

As Hadu had been in control of the sails, it didn't take long for him to sail out of the stormy area and reach the sunny island of Sicily. Ignoring the distracted boat boss, Hado jumped off the boat and headed for the island. Judging from the information on the map, Hadu needs to go to Catania, the capital of Sicily, to find the stronghold of the Zikern family: the map shows a large red mountain, and it is said that the entrance to the Zikern's stronghold can be reached on the west side of this mountain. But when Hado actually arrived in Catania, he was greeted by a large volcano about 2,000 people high.

If they had followed the instructions on Zikern's map, they would have dug a tunnel from the side into the inner side of the volcanic wall, and if ordinary people had done so, they would have been burned to ashes by the hot magma. However, for those with predatory abilities, it is easy to create a passage to avoid the heat, especially for those with more common figurative abilities, and it is easy to create such a passage.

As for Hado, he was already able to control the temperature change of matter, even if he entered from the top of the volcano, he would not have any worries. It's just that Zikon's stronghold is definitely not so easy to deal with, and there must be various protection measures, such as entering from the inner wall of the volcano, it may touch a space-time barrier, and not being able to enter their stronghold is still a trivial matter, if you enter some kind of trap because of this, the gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, Hadu prepared to enter from the front of the road, and he came to the foot of the volcano and walked to the west side of the river to avoid the Roman cavalry patrolling there. Unlike the way ordinary people want to enter the space, Hado no longer needs to find a door or an entrance, he only needs to plunder the "visibility of the objects that obscure the entrance to the space" in the vicinity. As long as you search back and forth within 10 steps of him, you will soon be able to find a definite entrance - the entrance will disappear directly within 10 steps of him, and it will be very easy to enter.

However, this method obviously does not apply here: after several raids, Hado feels that he has not succeeded, and as soon as he enters the consciousness space, he sees that the lines show that the plunder has failed, and the reason for the failure is that "the value of the corresponding wealth is lower than the total value of the wealth you have now", in other words, the entrance here is given the characteristic that "once plundered, its value will be lower than the total value of the predator". But such a trait was a scum in front of the well-informed Hado, who once again launched the corresponding high-definition plunder, and then an empty stone staircase appeared in front of him. Moving a few steps forward, the stone steps were fully revealed, apparently covered by an "invisible slab".

When Hadu came to this stronghold, he didn't think about hiding his identity, but he hammered his fist on the "stone slab", and with a click, he traveled out of thin air with two disconnected stone door panels. He descended the stone steps, and the torches on both sides "automated", revealing the volcanic passage inside.

Needless to say, the corridor was full of various mechanisms, but strangely, Hadu felt as if these mechanisms had been used recently, and the poisonous arrows sprayed out and the stone axes thrown were not dense, and Hadu dodged them all in a few dodges.

At the end of the corridor, there is a relatively delicate pulley set elevator, but the counterweight here is destroyed, and the elevator cabinet deep below cannot be raised. There are many ways to solve this problem, whether it's making a counterweight out of the roadway material on the spot, sliding down a lifting rope, or simply lowering it with the metal that controls it.

Reaching the bottom of the shaft, things began to look wrong: there were many corpses on the ground, and judging by the clothing, they were not the clothes of any of the tribes Hado had ever seen. The weapon they had on them was also very special, not the scimitar common in Arabia, nor the long sword used by the Romans, but a very heavy broad-backed sword. This weapon has incredible attack power, but it also requires a lot of strength to be able to wield it.

Apparently someone had made the first move, and Hadu continued to walk towards the hall, where the inner floor was the stronghold of Zikern, and the outside was just a hall with an elevator. Inside the stronghold, Hadu only saw corpses all over the ground, and even some of the corpses still had a certain body temperature on them, indicating that the time of death was no more than a sunrise.

At this time, Hadu was attracted by the sound of fighting in the depths of the stronghold.
