Chapter 478: Reward in hand
The moment the wooden box was opened, the bright red heart, which was still beating, was exposed to the air.
Bang bang~
Bang bang~
The beating sound is as dull and powerful as a drum.
Having lost its body, this heart is still full of life and vitality.
Because this is the most powerful organ of life in the world......
Pym reached into the wooden box with both hands and held his heart in the palm of his hand.
After taking a deep breath, the old and decrepit body straightened its chest at this moment, and slowly brought its heart closer to it.
The black robe on his body seemed to be alive, and when the heart approached, it automatically tore apart and shortened in other directions.
The chest is exposed.
Richard looked intently and could see that the original part of the heart was empty at the moment.
The heart has long since lost its traces.
Flesh and blood were tumbling on the huge scars outside, and bones and blood vessels were bursting, looking bloody and terrifying.
No one knows how this old man survived the loss of his heart......
He couldn't help but slow down his breathing at this moment, for fear of disturbing the other party.
Under the nervous gaze of Richard and Windsor, Pym slowly pumped his heart into his empty chest.
The next moment the heart enters the chest, a majestic energy flows out from the blood vessels, muscles, and bones around the heart, and is poured directly into it.
Bang bang~
Bang bang~
It's like the video is playing at three times, and the beating sound suddenly increases.
The heart is like a fuel-filled engine, and every beat is full of power.
As soon as the slightly chaotic energy passed through the heart, it immediately became smooth and flowed back into the limbs.
The dry rivers are fed with abundant water.
The aura on Pym's body gradually climbed......
The flesh and blood tumbling in his chest began to grow again at this moment under the stimulation of majestic energy.
bones, flesh, muscles, veins...... The scars that have been destroyed for more than a decade are being restored at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
After a dozen breaths, flesh covered the heart again, and the ribs grew out again.
From the inside out, when the outermost skin grows completely, the original old and decayed, the breath of life is like a candle in the wind that may be extinguished at any time.
Meng erupted with a terrifying coercion like an ancient dragon.
With the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce as the center, they rioted unscrupulously around.
In an instant, the entire city of Solan was enveloped by this shocking coercion.
On the city wall, the general in charge of defending the city turned his head and looked at the city in horror.
In the towering mage tower, the noble mage master stood up in horror.
Among the large number of luxurious estates, those nobles with titles raised their heads in shock......
The same question pops up on everyone's mind...... Who is it?
This powerful and unfamiliar momentum is definitely not the city lord, and even its aura is more powerful than the city lord...... More powerful than legendary?
Is that...... Demigods?
The moment the word came to mind, their breath became heavy.
A demigod was born in Solan City, what kind of changes would this bring?
It didn't take long for the entire Solan City to boil, and everyone was frantically exploring the secrets.
Richard, who faced that coercion, felt it more deeply than others.
The power of the demigods is like thousands of rivers and lakes flowing backwards into the air and then smashing down, mighty and overwhelming.
The power of the yellow sand on his body was running wildly, and under the full firepower, he could barely block the energy of the opponent's coercion.
Under Richard's gaze, Pym, who had just aged and was dying, regained his youth at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His pale hair turned black, his wrinkled face became elastic again, and age spots disappeared in the blink of a breath.
When that shocking aura dissipated, the other party returned to his early fifties, and he was at the peak of his prime.
Pym let out a long breath, his right hand outstretched, and his five fingers clenched into a fist.
A creaking sound sounded.
The look of the eye becomes incomparably complicated.
Excitement, excitement, and so on.
After taking a few deep breaths, he suppressed the emotions in his heart, turned slightly, and looked at Richard with clear eyes.
A slight smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"Little guy, I owe you a big favor this time."
He had already lost the slightest hope that he would be able to recover, and letting Richard go was just a last resort.
When the news of the collapse of that plane came, there was not much disappointment in my heart, but I felt a little sorry for Richard.
Unexpectedly, the peak turned around, and in the end, when he was targeted by Rose, the other party survived and really retrieved the heart of the gods.
This favor is owed.
All of this may be a choice of fate.
Pym's eyes were dark.
He also needs to dedicate his strength to the Crimson Moon.
Shaking his head, he retracted his thoughts.
Slow voice.
"What more do you want?"
Hearing this, Richard said calmly.
"Lord Pym, I need you to fulfill our agreement."
"That's all?"
Pym looked at him with interest.
Richard chuckled.
"Of course, if Your Excellency is willing to send me ten or eight artifacts, I will not refuse."
Pym laughed dumbly.
"How dare you think of it...... I don't have a few artifacts, so I can't afford to give them to you. ”
The voice fell, and he stretched out his hand and waved.
The illusory silver scales solidified in the hand.
At one end of the scales is a thin, pure white wing, as if a blow can blow it far.
The imperceptible weight tilted the scales to one side, leaving nothing at the other end.
After gently rubbing the scales for a moment, Pym's eyes narrowed slightly.
Majestic energy surged out of the body
In Richard's somewhat dazed gaze, streamers turned into clusters of light and landed on the other side of the scale.
Looking intently, I could see what seemed to be inside those clusters of light.
However, because the balance itself is only half a meter long, the trays at both ends of the balance are even narrower, and the light cluster only occupies a dozen of the width of the tray, and the contents are completely unreal.
Gradually, as the light mass increased, the scales tilted by the wings gradually balanced.
The moment you reach a certain boundary.
The light clusters shattered like glass, turned into streamers and melted into the balance.
In the next second, a miniature scroll gradually appeared on the re-emptied balance tray.
After a few breaths, it condenses into a solid.
Pym waited until the scroll no longer changed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the energy on his body surged again.
The miniature scroll slowly flew off the scales as if it had lost its gravity.
For every half inch off the scale, the reel becomes three points wider.
By the time the scroll had fallen into Pym's hand, it had become a normal scroll that was fully stretched.
This scene looks quite strange.
Looking at the curiosity in Richard's eyes, Pym smiled with a bit of arrogance.
"Little one, you're shocked, aren't you? The Wishing Balance is a real high-level artifact, containing the power of mysterious rules. ”
"This is an artifact forged by the Creation God himself, and its value is immeasurable, even if it is a main god-level existence, you have to peep."
He raised his head triumphantly.
"I snatched this from the ancient red dragon over there!"
The ancient red dragon on that head may have been obtained from some ancient ruins...... But that doesn't matter, the important thing is that this treasure is in his hands.
Although he was hostile to all gods, the artifact was not a sinner, and it was forged by the creator god.
This is a well-deserved treasure.
Richard looked at the old man's expression and remembered the first time he saw the other party.
This guy's personality really doesn't make people have much respect.
But it's not a bad thing, no one likes to deal with an old man with a hand.
It's kind.
"No~ This is the reward I promised you at the beginning."
Pym said, handing over the scroll in his hand.
"This scroll can forcibly enslave transcendental-level beings."
As he spoke, he could clearly feel that he was in some pain, but he was holding on to his face.
"It's just a little bit of a gadget, come back to me when you need it later."
Richard looked amused, but didn't say anything.
The high-level artifact of the Wishing Balance is not conjured out of thin air, and what you want needs a treasure of the same level to exchange.
The other party obviously made a bloody investment.
After reaching out to take it, I felt the majestic energy coming from the scroll, and my heart was overjoyed.
Months of planning, and unprecedented adventures, even ended up being an enemy with the evil god who made the abyss tremble...... Everything is for this scroll.
Precious and rare treasures.
Contract Scroll
Rank: Legendary
Trait: Can forcibly enslave a transcendental life, making it eternally loyal to the scroll holder.
Introduction: An extremely precious treasure that is extremely difficult to manufacture.
Richard was in a bit of a high mood.
There are so many meanings that this scroll represents......
The City of Twilight, from today, will have its own transcendental!
Other dimensional planes are merging into the Desert of Death, and the Crimson Moon and new expansions are about to begin...... The world is becoming turbulent.
Uncertainty about the future is increasing.
Transcendental, this is the power to step into another level, and it represents the power to survive.
With transcendence, the city of dusk has the ability to protect itself.
Plus the foundation he had accumulated before.
Now he already has strength in his hands that should not be underestimated.
After steadily growing for so long, the City of Twilight has finally grown.
is no longer the tiny existence that only has a dozen classes and has to be careful to deal with a few wild wolves.
Richard's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
After putting the contract scroll into the system space, the smile on his face was bright and bright.
"Your Excellency Pym, our promise is fulfilled."
"Congratulations on a new life."
"The world is waiting for you to change."
Pym laughed, and his mood was equally cheerful.
After the laughter subsided slightly, he turned to look at Windsor beside him.
The other man smiled at him with an equally bright smile.
When her mood calmed down, Windsor seemed to think of something, and a crimson medal appeared in her hand.
stepped forward, and his tone was a little relaxed.
"Teacher, you have recovered, this, the thing belongs to its owner......"
As he spoke, he spread out his palms and handed them over.
Pym looked at the crimson medallion and the smile on his face narrowed.
After a moment of silence, he looked into the other's eyes and shook his head slowly but firmly.
"No, Windsor, this medal is already yours."
"There is no reason to take off the crown that has already been worn...... I can't either. ”
He shrugged his shoulders and smiled lightly.
"Now, too, I have to be at your disposal, honorable elder."
After speaking, he looked at Windsor and wanted to speak, so he waved his hand and interrupted.
"Needless to say, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight...... Your performance during this period of time has been able to carry this heavy responsibility. ”
"The future belongs to you."
"This responsibility must be borne by you after all."
Windsor looked at the old man's serious gaze, couldn't help but fall silent, and nodded slowly after a moment.
"Teacher, I'...... Will not disappoint your expectations. ”
This time is different.
Before, he was ordered to take over the heavy responsibility.
At this moment, it is her true self-choice.
As he spoke, he slowly put the crimson medal on his chest.
The medal was a bit old-fashioned, and there wasn't even any energy ripple on it, and it looked more like a symbolic item than a treasure.
Richard, who had been watching this warm drama for a long time, suddenly heard a familiar prompt sound in his ears at this moment.
"Ding~ The Lord of Crimson has carried his fate, the rise of the Crimson Moon, no one can stop it, the new expansion will be opened on time, please prepare your lords."
"Ding~......"
The system prompt rang three times.
Richard's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look at the graceful and luxurious figure in front of him.
At this moment, the quaint medal tied to his chest was as dazzling as the sun.
Lord Crimson?!
Even if there is no more information, these four words alone are enough to bring endless reverie......
Half an hour later.
Richard left the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce with a solemn look in his eyes.
As the carriage drove towards Violet Manor, it leaned against the window and was stunned.
It wasn't until the coachman called him out of the car that he woke up.
Seeing Richard get out of the carriage and Vile, who was already waiting at the gate of the manor, the head of the Violet Chamber of Commerce immediately stepped forward.
But when I took a few steps closer and saw his wrong expression, I felt a sigh in my heart.
A bad feeling arises.
After holding his chest and saluting, he said in a deep voice.
"My lord, have you had any trouble at the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce?"
It was only then that Richard retracted his senses.
Take a deep breath and forcibly suppress the ups and downs in your heart.
His eyes solemnly stared at the cold figure in front of him, and said word by word.
"The order is to return to the city of twilight, and all the troops that have gone out must be taken back within three days."
"The City of Dusk is on the highest level of security."
"All armies, without orders, are not allowed to leave the City of Twilight for half a step."
"All vital supplies for the inhabitants and non-military are to be transferred to the Eternal Land."
"The underworld has produced strategic materials, all of which have been transported to the City of Dusk."
"The military factory, from now on, will make every effort to produce military supplies twenty-four hours a day, and all other production arrangements will be postponed ......."
"And ......"
A series of orders were given, and the uneasiness in Vile's heart climbed to the top.
When Richard's voice fell, he immediately said urgently.
"My lord, what the hell is going on?"
Richard let out a sigh and slowly looked up at the sky.
It was the last rays of light that had dissipated into the sky.
The whole world was plunged into darkness.
"God, it's changed......"
