There are generally two sets of unspoken rules in this world, and the light side is playing the 'masquerade', and the people in it must be able to 'pretend', regardless of whether their hearts are red or black, otherwise, they can only dance on the edge of the lively stage forever. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Dark is playing 'Crazy Disco', take ecstasy, white powder or simply wear no clothes, whatever you want, as long as you dance well and are widely recognized, the center of the stage is yours, and everyone revolves around. The light scolds the darkness for being vulgar and depraved, and the darkness scolds the light for being pretentious and false. I don't think anyone is a good bird, and I've played both places, it's addictive, but it's not interesting for a long time, so in the end, I'm going to follow no rules and just stay comfortable according to my own heart. -- Li Yun's quotations

The martial arts Prince Sam is an elite family cultivated under the 'cultivation' plan of the would-be heir of Fred V. For this son, the fifth emperor can be said to have taken great pains, not only let him worship under the seat of Nessreel's 'Knight of Radiance' Sencrates and Berrich since he was a child to learn the art of fighting and lead the army, but also regardless of the risk of war, so that the young prince has been baptized and tempered, and has become a sharp, calm and sophisticated, and capable of fighting, laying a solid foundation for better control of the sword of the army after taking over the throne in the future.

Sam's return from Biansai with his troops this time is obviously not just because the fifth emperor misses the crown prince who has been away for a long time. However, for Li Yun, the crown prince's talent or stupidity as a pig did not have much influence on him. Whether the Three Kingdoms of the Northland are preparing to expand their territory or have other plans, he is not ready to worry about it. Now Li Yun is most concerned about the construction of the production base and his own magic experiments, and he is basically not interested in other things.

To be honest, Li Yun never intended to let himself have too much to do with Nessrael or any other country. It's not a question of whether or not there is a sense of belonging, but a reason for 'horizons'. Li Yun needed to focus on this plane, not on which continent or which kingdom. If you want to effectively resist the infiltration attack of the 'seeds' planted by the dark gods, you must at least reach a broad alliance to achieve better monitoring of the dark movements. On the same basis, an alliance agreement reached through violence and threats would make alliances look at each other and reduce the effectiveness of surveillance, and Li Yun would not be able to be a plane unification king, leaving aside the question of time and strength, if he did, he would become the 'rotten seed' that the dark gods wanted to see the most. Just imagine, the war and chaos have spread to the whole world, and the global economy and combat strength have declined sharply, isn't it precisely the hearts of the dark gods that have been satisfied? Therefore, Li Yun must choose a better way of cooperation and alliance, instead of 'pointing a gun at someone's head and asking them if the lunch he invited is delicious!'

The alliance is like doing business, it is also about strength, credibility and fame. This means that if Li Yun took the undead legion that was overwhelming like locusts to cross the border to talk about alliances and cooperation with various arrogant intelligent races, there was a chance that he would run into a wall and return. Therefore, Li Yun must dress himself up as 'glamorous' and act like a celebrity. Regardless of whether he sells 'fake drugs' behind his back or not, at least, on the surface, he is a well-known philanthropist. This is the underlying 'game' rules of this world, the 'rules of the game' that belong to the bright world and are marked with 'justice', which Li Yun calls a 'masquerade' ball. Helping Lana, tolerating the unreasonable requests of King and Queen Nessryl, and reaching a cooperation agreement with the Pope of the Holy See of Light were all affected by this rule, and Li Yun felt that he had to be called a 'gentleman', and whether to stab a knife or rope after 'bowing' and 'greetings' was another question.

Li Yun now needs a banner with a big book on it'Important Roles of Human Beings', whether this role is him or not, it doesn't matter, the mastermind behind the scenes, making a fortune in a muffled voice, this is the style that Li Yun is used to in major events. In Li Yun's heart, there is even a grand plan for the 'Halo Hero', Lana, the dwarf Bender, the orc Solander, and Albert are all the objects of his cultivation. Judging from the current situation, Lana's image building is going quite smoothly, and Li Yun believes that as long as the first 'hero' is cultivated, the rest will be much easier......

It took two days for Li Yun to go around the perimeter of Nesman, and finally selected one of the four pieces of land to be sold. It is a mountainous area located in the northwest corner of the city of Nesmai, about 50 kilometers from Nesmai in a straight line, surrounded by verdant mountains to form a horseshoe-like valley, hence the name Horseshoe Valley a long time ago.

Thirty kilometres north of the Horseshoe Valley is the famous Giant Woodland, where the commercial value of the towering trees that are hugged by eight to ten people makes Nesmai what it was in the first place. Even today, Giant Wood is one of Neisma's key exports. The overall topography of the Horseshoe Valley is relatively high relative to the surrounding peaks, especially the Feiquan Peak opposite the valley mouth, which is the second highest in the 100-kilometer range. On a clear day, standing on the steep Feiquan Peak, the majestic city of Nesmai and the vast waters of the Raven River are clearly visible.

It stands to reason that it is more beneficial to build a beacon tower on Feiquan Peak for Nesman's defense, after all, the straight-line distance from Tianzhu Peak to Nesmai is 93 kilometers, which is a little farther than Feiquan Peak's 51 kilometers. Unfortunately, no one has been able to accomplish this feat so far. Because at the base of the cliff on the side of the Horseshoe Valley, there is a huge natural cave entrance with a concave inside. The cavern, which is over 70 feet in diameter, is a minor nuisance for the Nesmai trying to establish a semi-military base in Horseshoe Valley.

Initially, someone wanted to conquer it. So the depth of the boulder was first tested, and as a result, the rope attached to the boulder reached nearly 3,000 feet deep and still did not see the bottom. Half of them gave up for it. Those who are daring, skilled in martial arts or magic go down and find out. As it turned out, none of the 46 warriors who descended below 2,000 feet came back. People talked a lot, and finally came to the conclusion that this is one of the important wind tunnels in the dark region, and it is guarded by monsters. Although in some places, such as several towns in the Kingdom of Leipzig, it is not too surprising to deal with the inhabitants of the Upperdark, such as drows, dwarves, cave giants, various goblin creatures, cave orcs, underground gnomes, and rat people, the underground world, which symbolizes endless darkness, still reminds most people of depression, panic, helplessness, and danger at all times. Moreover, the depths of the earth are indeed innumerable and powerful monsters, and many people believe that these monsters are the product of the evil of hell, and are synonymous with evil and invincible. Therefore, many people call it unconquerable.

As if to confirm people's predictions, during the construction of the first Flying Spring Peak watchtower, the Nesman Engineering Department paid the price for their recklessness: a large group of underground monsters suddenly flew out of the cavern, destroying the boulders and magic seals that sealed the cave entrance, and slaughtering almost all the lives present at that time. and attacked the timber harvesting base in the giant wood woodland, resulting in the famous 'Nightmare Valley Massacre'.

On the next two occasions, whenever the cave entrance was sealed or blocked, the brutal underground monsters would gather to carry out a bloody baptism on the humans near Nesmail, especially the third time, the sudden arrival of the underground monster army made the Nesmai people spend more than half a year in panic, and they even fought against the regular army under the capital. The Neisma people finally realized that their underground neighbors were 'rude' creatures, and that the fact that these guys didn't do any harm to Nesmead wasn't because they weren't capable of doing so. For the sake of a cold rock watchtower, cast with the blood of countless young people, and there is no guarantee of success, this is not a good business. As a result, no one mentioned the matter of building a tower here, as if to cooperate with the decision of human beings, and the monsters in the underground have not come out to harass them since. Over time, many loggers said they had seen visions of the souls of those who had died near Horseshoe Valley, and gradually, the name of this vibrant valley 'nightmare' spread more widely.

Li Yun chose Nightmare Valley because of the three advantages here, first, the waterfall stream of Feiquan Peak forms a clear pool in front of the deep cave, which not only solves the problem of drinking water, but also provides convenience for the construction of the base and future production. Second, the terrain is hidden, the confidentiality is strong, and the price is low. Third, the terrain in the valley is wide and flat, and high-quality brick soil, clay and even kaolin mines can be mined nearby. In Li Yun's opinion, this place is simply a bit of a feng shui treasure specially designed for him. For this reason, Li Yun plans to sell his strength to meet those underground neighbors of the Nesmai people. If you can, you can suppress it, and if you can't suppress it, you can soothe it, anyway, there is only one purpose, to ensure that Nightmare Valley will not be harassed and destroyed by underground monsters on a whim in the future.

Using 'teleportation' to tell the decision to the fog in Nesmead City was one of the small results of Li Yun's recent research on the spiritual magic book that the Pope had obtained. In some ways, Li Yun is now like a rich man who has huge assets but doesn't know how to take advantage of them. He still has too much of a single grasp of the magic of this world, and even some of the low-level practical magic that is convenient and widely circulated is incomplete. Take this 'Mind Transfer' as an example, after studying, Li Yun found that using this technique, it was much easier to communicate with the fog women over a long distance, and even it was of great benefit to control the white claws far away in the Misty Canyon. There are several similar examples, which makes Li Yun, who originally planned to delve into it, a little shaken in his thoughts.

In Li Yun's view, magic is a way to control the natural forces that are free from the body through the power of the spirit. And many of its properties have the same focus as the science of another world. For example, we all need to research and explore, and we all need to do a lot of experiments, all of which are to seek and understand the essence of matter and then apply it......

From the overall point of view, the development of science is a process of progress that complements each other, and it often affects the whole body, and then, when the overall level reaches a certain height, there is a breakthrough bottleneck improvement at certain points. So, does the study of magic have such properties? Just like the use of spiritual magic can improve the control of undead creatures, and those known and unknown compound magic, and so on. The magical elements of this world are originally chaotic, and it is the different mastery and use of force by the sorcerers that the seven genera are divided. So, on the other hand, if the magic of other attributes is intervened into the dark magic, or from the characteristics of those elements, some dark magic problems are solved from another angle, will there be unexpected effects and breakthroughs?

Creation, this is a very important word, both for man and for God. It is impossible to quickly create your own sky with a human tail and a snort from a person, but a seemingly simple change in thinking is a firm step taken by Li Yun on the road to becoming a god. Later, when countless creatures lamented the uniqueness and strength of Li Yun's spell, no one thought that the root of everything came from an ordinary 'teleportation'.

The towering tree also grows through a small sapling, and for an inhuman like Li Yun, the real growth is more reflected in consciousness than strength. When that magical pea is planted in the fertile soil of thought, the vines that reach through the sky will spread out and extend into the endless sky. The accumulation of little by little, the convergence of wisps, whether it is becoming a god or growing wings, the real power can never be grasped through accidental, sudden, and instantaneous descriptions.

Of course, it is not impossible to suddenly become a god, maybe one day, someone drank the mouthwash of the creator god, so he has divine powers. But I would say that the result is mostly like giving a three-year-old a pistol, and in the end it will only be a tragedy or a farce: either you will kill someone else or you will kill yourself!

There was really nothing to say about a trip to the Misty Canyon, and the heavens did not give Li Yun a chance to save the beauty, nor did any stupid thief or unlucky monster hit the muzzle of his gun. It took ten days for Li Yun to bring more than a hundred black iron dwarves to Nightmare Valley again. This time, he only brought back half of the dwarves, and except for a few people, most of them were former black iron dwarven coolies who had not long mastered the skills of pottery and glassmaking. In this way, Li Yun divided his subordinates into three.

First, in the headhunter camp in the depths of the Misty Forest, there were armed planters composed of more than thirty dwarves, and then there was the undead headhunter guard and headhunter protection group led by Whiteclaw. With the exception of a quarter of the wall, the most noticeable change that happened to the headhunters was the weaponry. Unlike the previous bone spears and stone spears, they now held the shiny iron guys, and wore leather armor with iron plates embedded in key parts as needed. In addition to retaining the traditional decoration of blowing arrows and feathers, the headhunters completely put an end to the 'beggar's era' in tattered clothes. Now they rely on a combination of animal husbandry and planned hunting to survive, and their lives are much better than before.

Taking history as a mirror let Li Yun know that the emergence of barriers, the strengthening of weapons and the change of survival methods will bring about the improvement of order and wisdom, but on the contrary, what needs to be paid is the loss of wildness and strong survivability. And it won't be long before there will be a decrease in courage and inertia, but for the sake of the miracle woodland created by that drop of eternal water, he can only do so for a short time.

Second, on the premise that there was no better forging base, Li Yun did not give up the original residence and production base in the lava cave of the Black Iron Dwarf. In Li Yun's conception, as a production base for high-quality weapons, it will need to exist there for a long time. As a result, most of the skilled Black Iron Dwarves remained there. Moreover, in order to strengthen their defensive strength and combat effectiveness, all the Black Iron Dwarves who remained there have undergone the refinement of the Dark Entanglement and the first body transformation 'Dark Power Infusion'. The skin of the black iron dwarf was already black and shiny, but now that it is good, the whole person is thick and strong again, and the muscles and flesh are knotted and black smoke is swirling, and the strength and speed have increased more than three times compared to the original. The fiery red eyes also turned into the standard immortal green.

In order to better rule over these still resentful dwarves and reduce his own burden, Li Yun rewarded those guardian knights with Ray and Pomani as the main ones according to their merits. The twelve Guardian Knights, including their mounts, all underwent 'Dark Infusion', followed by the second body modification, 'Muscle Alienation'. These Guardian Knights have officially become Dark Knights, and unlike ordinary Dark Knights, they have a better physique, stronger and more sensitive, and they have a special and powerful potential like no other. And the captains Lei and Bomani received the third transformation 'Dark Souls' given by Li Yunhua's great strength. At this point, Lei Yiyue became a powerful existence that was not inferior to the dark knight who fought against Li Yun in the dead city. Li Yun also gave Lei the advanced and comprehensive military knowledge he had summarized, and instructed him to train the eleven dark knights into junior officers after mastering them. At the same time, it is also given the ability to control the minds of those transformed black iron dwarves, and requires that these dwarves also be organized into a 'take-out' combat force.

From this day on, the 'Black General' Lei was born, and his birth not only brought a powerful general to the world, but also marked that Li Yun finally took an important step in establishing his own lineage.
