Chapter Fifty-Eight: The 'Oil' of the Other World

A small piece of Mithril, about the size of a sesame seed, was the other part I had left over from the last time I killed Sulena, and after saying the previous sentence, I took out this piece of Mithril and placed it in the palm of my hand under the curious gaze of the Lord of Stormwind.

"Are you planning to cast that silver flash spell, but in fact it is actually the power of your bloodline?" No," Immediately, the Stormwind City Lord overturned this speculation, obviously, based on common sense, if I had awakened my bloodline at that time, it would have been impossible to find the blood imp, "To be honest, I'm really getting more and more curious. ”

"Toot ~"

As if it was the sound of water droplets falling into the water, the Mithril slowly sank into my palm under the gaze of the Stormwind Lord, bursts of pale silver ripples spread, under the sun, my hand looked a little more Mithril's flowing silver gray, and then, on my other hand, a fireball about the size of a ping-pong ball was concluded, a relatively cheap spell obtained from Andrew.

"Let me guess," seeing the way I looked at the moment, the Stormwind City Lord may have really been intrigued, and actually pinched his chin, turning his gaze between my left and right hands from time to time, and after a moment, there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes, "Do you mean that your left hand already has the demon-breaking attribute of Mithril." ”

"Smack!"

With the Stormwind City Lord's less certain guess, I waved my left hand and slapped the blazing fireball out, flying straight towards the huge glass window not far away, but in fact, the fireball didn't even fly out a meter away, it was scattered in the air, as if it had failed to cast a spell, and finally it was completely extinguished under my telekinesis, leaving only a few inadequately burned spell casting materials, "It's worthy of the City Lord, congratulations, you guessed it." ”

As the words fell, the silver-gray fluctuations that had previously spread throughout my hand moved in the opposite direction, and finally, converging on my palm, the bead-shaped mythril the size of a sesame seed slowly emerged from there.

"This is my bloodline ability," I didn't pretend to be mysterious, after putting away the precious Mithril, I said lightly, "can devour everything I touch, and has the attributes of this foreign object, although the blood imp has a magical stealth ability, just like a shadow warrior, but in fact it does exist, so when it comes close and touches me, my bloodline will remind me that there is something there, naturally, I can also catch it." ”

"So, you can actually devour the Blood Imp and have its stealth ability?"

"Theoretically, it should be possible, but I shouldn't try," I couldn't help but laugh a few times at the cautious and cautious appearance of the Stormwind City Lord, his worries were not unreasonable, if a powerful mage had the ability to conceal as strong as a blood imp, then the rules of the game in this world might really have to be rewritten, I guess even at the previous moment, he had the urge to kill me, if he couldn't control me.

"Why?"

"Lord Hui, when my bloodline is devouring and fusing dead things, it has the characteristics you see, devouring it, and being able to spit it out, because in essence they can't affect my bloodline itself, I just use my ability to make Mithril evenly attached to my body, which makes my hands look metallic, and has demon-breaking attributes, not that I devoured Mithril, my body has Mithril's anti-magic properties. ”

"If that's the case, do you think I'll expose my abilities? Hiding in a corner and eating some rare metals, such as Mithril, gave me endless magic resistance, such as diamonds, and gave me an unbeatable body, in a sense, I could walk sideways, you say. ”

"But if a living creature, such as a living blood imp, according to the records of my bloodline, if I devour a living life, my bloodline will also be devoured." 'Pollution', the kind from the root, I may gain its stealth ability, but the price is that I will become an inhuman monster, and even the shortcomings of the demon will be absorbed by me, and on the way here, I also specially asked about Ms. Ulris's blood imp, it is a very weak demon, I heard that it is extremely bloodthirsty, I don't want to become something like that. ”

"Hiss~~~"

The Stormwind City Lord took a long puff of cigarette, and his powerful lung capacity directly sucked up the small half of the cigarette, and after exhaling that thick puff of smoke, he said, "Even so, this bloodline of yours is really powerful and terrifying, if one day you encounter some kind of bloodline that is powerful, but does not have so many side effects, such as the bloodline of a dragon, will you be able to become a dragon?"

"Give me all your skills, can I be as strong as you?" Storm Wind's words still sounded praise, but in fact, it was still a worry, but as I said earlier, this treacherous and cunning guy has the magical ability to turn shamelessness into shamelessness, "Everything in the world, nothing can ascend to the sky in one step, it really gave me the blood of the dragon, my body, my soul, I'm afraid it is not enough to support such a powerful existence, what do you think?"

"That's right," the scheming lord nodded, at least as if he had agreed with my answer, snuffing out his cigarette butt and leaning back, "but it's still an enviable bloodline, and you told me about it, it seems that you're willing to join my legion." ”

"Wise man, when you take advantage of your strength, such a good opportunity will be rejected by a fool, but I have two questions, I don't know if you can answer it for me, Lord of the City. ”

"Of course," seemed to confirm that I had become his person, and the old city lord's attitude had softened a lot.

"First, what is the Stormwind Legion responsible for, or what I will do after I join the Stormwind Legion, to tell you the truth, I've been in this city for so long, I've never seen this legion, and I've never even heard anyone mention it, and second, am I the only one joining the Stormwind Legion, or am I joining with my adventure party?"

"What do you think is the reason why a city can always stand?"

"Strength, resources, population, and wisdom. ”

"Yes," the city lord nodded with satisfaction at my short and crisp answer, "I feel more and more that it is not a loss to meet you in person, and most people answer this question with only two damn words, power." ”

"Haha, just kidding," said the city lord, as if he had already cooked himself, he took out another cigarette from my cigarette case, and lit it for himself with a flint, and his skillful movements looked like an old smoking gun, "But the thing is what you said, power is the basis for protecting the city, population is the tool for the reproduction and survival of the city, wisdom can maintain order and make the city develop, but the most important thing is the resource, without it, there would be no first three, no matter how big your city is, it will eventually collapse." ”

"So," I squinted slightly, "the essence of the Stormwind Legion is to gather all kinds of resources for Stormwind?"

"To be precise, it is to collect rare resources, conventional resources, whether it is food, or all kinds of food and clothing, the city itself can be obtained by means of farming, animal husbandry, and trade, but only the rare resources that can maintain the stability of the city, the spell casting materials of mages, the weapon materials of warriors, various rare medicinal materials that can help people improve their strength, and even the treasures inherited from the underground palace of the ancient city. ”

"In order to maintain the rule of a huge city, it is hard for you to imagine the consumption of rare materials, but these, as the manager of the city, you can only collect them yourself, or exchange them with other city lords with things of equal value, kryptonite is in front of resources, I don't like it to wipe my ass!"

"Understood," I nodded, "the so-called resources, it is more appropriate to say that it is energy, in essence, it is similar to the earth's oil, but the United States, which is known as the world's largest power, is still stirring up trouble in the Middle East, although he did not directly rob the oil, but what he did allowed him to benefit from it, so as to ensure the sustainable development of the country." ”

It is conceivable that the accusation of this storm army is similar to this, saying that it is better to call collecting resources, and the ugly thing is to go out and grab things, outside the main city it is the borderless land, no one will care who you are, it is estimated that the killing is dark, and the blood is flowing like a river is light, this kind of thing is staged countless times a day on the earth where there is no personal force supremacy, not to mention this kind of otherworld where killing people is not enough?

"It doesn't seem to be as easy as I thought it would be. ”

"If it's easy to do, I won't have to be white-headed at this age," the city lord sighed, touched his hair with his hand, I don't know if it was my delusion, when the city lord said this, I felt a trace of fatigue, thinking that the position of the city lord is actually not so good, "So, your second question, I don't think I need to answer it." ”

"Naturally, but I still hope that the city lord will give them a chance, many times, mercenaries are not afraid of death, they are afraid of no chance. ”

"Yes," pondered for a moment, and the city lord nodded, "provided that they are mentally prepared, the Storm Legion is no different than ordinary legions, not everyone can enter." ”
