Chapter 368: Asking for Help and Selling Yourself (6K)
As night fell, the lights in the Burning Mall were still bright, and the streets were filled with hurried but orderly vehicles, transporting batches of war materials to the city wall defense area.
Looking at the transport workers hurrying by, several mercenary group leaders with extraordinary status gathered again.
"You say, is the cataclysm almost over?"
"Is there one?"
"I didn't notice that in the past few days, the empress has shot significantly less, and the defense line doesn't seem to be so dangerous."
"No ......"
The head of the group who presided over the meeting spoke.
His eyes were bloodshot, his hair was messy and dry, and his eye sockets were sunken inward, but despite this, he kept a lot of data and wrote a dozen pieces of parchment.
"You see, yesterday's treacherous tide of more than 1,000 appeared 37 times, and comparing the data of the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, and a week ago or two weeks ago, it can be found that the degree of catastrophe has not only not declined, but is also slowly and steadily rising."
"The information from other oases and large regions can also confirm this, and the disaster is still going on and becoming more and more ferocious."
The numbers speak for themselves!
The mercenary leader, who admired data, came up with enough weight of evidence.
Several others believed it.
"It's just that since the degree of catastrophe is becoming more and more violent, why is the Burning Chamber of Commerce defending the city to resist it...... Seems to be getting easier? β
"Even if the intensity is the same, you should be more and more tired after defending the city for so many days."
This question......
The mercenary group leader, who advocates data and has no name yet, can't answer, otherwise, how could he stay awake all night, making his eyes bloodshot and red, and the whole person seems to be floating out of his soul.
He's a six-sensee!
But he couldn't figure out why!
Far away in the Starlight Fortress, Blazemon didn't understand either!
He glanced at his walls, which were already cracked in thick cracks, or the horrible dents left by the impact of the behemoth.
Scarred!
Taking advantage of the fact that the evil has not been attacked on a large scale, the workers of the Starlight Fortress are hurrying to repair it, and they can repair it a little bit.
Speaking of the walls of the Burning Mall, some signs of damage could still be seen last time in Blezemon, but this time, the majestic walls resembled a dragon lying across the earth, its scales flowing with a magnificent luster, shining in the sun.
Not to mention which section of the city wall was damaged, Blaizen looked left and right, and was stunned that he couldn't find even a crack!
Why!
Obviously, the city defense construction of the fire oasis is not as good as theirs;
Obviously, the number of fighters in the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce was far inferior to them;
Obviously, the Burning Fire Oasis was still encountering a much more violent tide of evil than them, but ......
Why are they more damaged?
"What the hell is going wrong?"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Whether the cataclysmic frenzy has abated or not, those who tried to travel far away from the oasis and were hit by the blow are the most certain.
Not weak but strong!
These merchant groups and mercenary groups have been trapped in the Burning Oasis for more than two months.
Some strong people are worried about the situation in their hometowns, and often stand at the gate of the city and look at the surging gray fog outside, motionless like a stone looking at the hometown. Some strong people who were born in the Super Oasis and had no worries about their own city simply lay down after seeing that the situation in the Burning Oasis gradually stabilized.
They can't get out outside, and the firefighters won't hire them to help defend themselves, what can they do? They can only eat and drink.
Not to mention, this fire oasis is not only a little smaller, but also has all kinds of facilities, in addition to the most prestigious catering industry, there are many entertainment projects that the well-informed and powerful have never heard of.
Although, the most of the training facilities here are varied and quite high-end.
But for these chamber of commerce bosses and mercenary leaders, they have basically reached the top in their lives, and it is impossible to exercise, and they have worked hard for decades to enjoy themselves in order to climb to a high position.
As a result, except for a certain mercenary group leader with bloodshot eyes who was still struggling, the other leaders were idle, and the meeting place was changed from a rented station to a certain chess and card room.
"Yes A!"
"I can't afford it!"
"What do you mean by a big-name master!"
The sound of artillery fire outside the city is constant, and inside the city, the sound of music, cheers, and playing cards is endless, and the inside and outside seem to be two unrelated worlds.
But since he has been relaxed, he is no longer frightened, and he is no longer embarrassed by himself, and the faces of several regiment leaders are visibly ruddy, and even their bodies seem to be fat...... A little plump.
The little days are very enjoyable.
"It's just that the warriors of the Fire Burning Chamber of Commerce outside are still struggling to resist the treacherous wave, isn't it too ...... for us to enjoy it so much?"
"Hey, what's this, when I was soaking in the hot springs yesterday, I also met a few elites of the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce. I have to say that these people are really powerful, and there is still time to get high after the battle. β
"Besides, although we play cards and eat and drink, we pay for them, and in the words of a senior executive of the Flame Burning Chamber of Commerce, we are also contributing to the fight against disasters. What I'm more worried about is that after more than two months of lockdown, whether the food reserves of Burning Fire Mall are still sufficient. β
"Yes, especially now that the Burning Fire Mall has raised tens of thousands of people."
This is the second kind of worry after the city breaks.
However, the big bosses were quickly reassured that the variety of dishes in the restaurants had not decreased at all, and prices had not risen with the devastating lockdown.
The price of the food in the Burning Fire Mall itself is very high, but since it did not increase the price during the disaster, it is equivalent to a price reduction, rounding up, it is they who earned it.
"Here, cheers, let's, enjoy life!"
The room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
β¦
β¦
There are wisps of sorrow wafting in the hall, some people are silent, some people sigh, and the main theme of this moment is nothing more than this.
In the northwest corner of the vast and magnificent hall, the trails of brilliant stars are spreading rapidly on the smooth floor, outlining a mysterious and magnificent star map.
Within the star map, several shadows of vague figures were gradually revealed, but lingering with wisps of charm.
They stood in a few specific places on the star map, but many more were still empty, with no noble shadows in sight.
The figure of the being standing on the sixth throne gradually became clear.
He was handsome, as angular as a knife, surrounded by faint blue clouds. Wearing a star-shaped crown on his head and holding a scepter with countless black orbs dangling, he looked to the northeast and let out a sigh:
"We deeply regret the fall of KetarΓ© and would like to commemorate the sacrifice made by His Majesty KetarΓ© for the Broken Sea with a half-day of remembrance."
"The fearless don't need to remember, the cowardly do!"
In the northeast corner of the hall, a burly man with sky-high flame hair and the presence of a small firebird squatting on his shoulder snorted coldly.
He is the myth of the Red Lotus Empire, "Espheus", who worships the flames that burn all enemies!
"Know what we need!
"It's not just for us, it's for you!"
"The fall of Ketar is a sigh of relief, and we are not unaware of the source of calamity hidden in the depths of the filthy sea, but ...... Be rational and cautious. β
In the southeast corner of the hall, a graceful figure stepped out of the moonsilver glow that poured down like a waterfall.
Her long hair was as white as the moonlight, and she wore a white fur coat, and the fingers of her hands were pressed in front of her. Surrounded by the bright moonlight, the middle-aged beauty of the "palace lady" is like a fairy.
Finally, in the southwest corner, the representative from the Great Mi Chaos City only vaguely saw that the shorter "Pinched Raid" glanced at the three parties and agreed.
Outside the palace, the gray waves of the Broken Sea region crashed into the oasis land one after another.
From the filthy waters, monsters with hideous and ugly bodies crawled out, stretching the gray waves until they reached the majestic walls.
Whoop -
Whoop -
Whoop -
The tide continued, and the walls collapsed.
Waves of gray poured into the screaming city, covering green, blue, white, and blue, and turning the sky and the earth into the ultimate gray.
A myth exists, and it is a myth that comes from one of the four major human hegemonic forces, which makes people sigh and sigh, but also shocks countless forces.
But the impact of the cataclysm is not just a myth.
Xingluowan is crying, the Great Mi Chaos City is bleeding, Gulinburg is half destroyed, and the red lotus is floating on the gray current.
This catastrophe is the worst in 3,000 years.
Under the leadership of several myths of the Red Lotus Empire, a meeting covering the four major human overlords slowly opened.
β¦
β¦
The two catastrophes are superimposed, and the Broken Sea is badly affected, but it is far more than the Broken Sea that has been severely affected.
The small oasis dissipates like a candle flickering in the wind under the raging gray waves. The Great Oasis is not easy, with a larger population and more ferocious waves.
Blackstone Alliance.
As a great oasis force that has only been established for more than 60 years, the development momentum of the Blackstone Alliance is not unremarkable. But it is undeniable that the Blackstone Alliance is too young in the Great Oasis forces.
Being young also means weak strength and poor foundation.
A strong man once predicted that if the first tower master of the Blackstone Alliance died, the entire alliance might go downhill. Unexpectedly, when the Blackstone Alliance was swaying in the wind, this first tower master actually extended his life and lived out the second life.
Those with vision have predicted that the Blackstone Alliance is about to truly rise.
However, at this time, the catastrophe came. As soon as it appeared, it swept across the entire domain, and it became stronger and stronger, and one by one small oases were destroyed in the wave, and the Blackstone Alliance lost the opportunity to develop.
Now, there are not many forces left to pay attention to the Blackstone Alliance, and everyone is too busy to take care of themselves.
The Blackstone Alliance, in particular.
This large oasis is about 4 or 5 levels more, and the area bathed in sunlight is only more than half of that of the Spark Oasis. This oasis once crammed into hundreds of thousands of people and is home to black, shabby-looking but rugged buildings.
However, at this moment, like the buildings standing upright on black stone pillars, one by one they were either cut off, or collapsed, or cracked into countless cracks. The entire western side of the oasis was filled with smoke clouds, and occasionally a low, feeble wail could be heard.
Warriors dressed in black robes weave through the ruins, rescuing the wounded and slaying down the remaining wandering evils.
Even so, sadness and despair permeate the entire oasis.
Located in the tallest tower in the center of the city, the seven tower owners are simply seated.
Some of them were covered with gauze, and some of them were pale. The first tower lord who sat on the throne still showed a lot of health and vitality under her old face a few months ago, but at this time, this old woman was as old as before she had eaten the fruit of longevity, and her dry skin like tree bark was even more chapped in many places, revealing a little scarlet and wriggling flesh buds.
The hook-nosed tower master who sat in the second place also had two scars on his face, and the brown hair that should have been neatly combed was not only messy, but also visible strands of eye-catching white.
Yi Yue Luxi sat in the fifth seat.
She was originally the seventh tower lord and ranked last, but since she resisted the disaster during this time, two tower masters have fallen. The position of tower master was filled by someone else, and she was promoted to the fifth seat.
It's just that the girl's originally delicate and flawless face looks a little gray at the moment, and her falling silver hair also looks dry.
Her left arm was tied with circles and rings of bandages, and under the bandages were strange protrusions, struggling and squirming like a living thing.
"The City of Fallen Stars has rejected our call for help...... Ahem. β
The hoarse voice came from the mouth of the old woman sitting on the main seat, and the few tower masters who were still holding a little hope, the slight brilliance burning in their eyes dimmed in an instant.
Bernigan, the second tower master, spoke, "What about paying more?" β
The old woman still shook her head.
"The reply given by the Falling Star City is that their power is also limited, and they can't take care of too much."
"What about the Flame Chamber? The Flame Chamber of Commerce is also a super force with two myths, so we might as well ask the Fire Chamber of Commerce for help! β
Another tower master spoke.
It's just that before the words fell, he was rejected by another person.
"The Flame Burning Chamber of Commerce is facing a greater disaster than the City of Falling Stars, and besides, they have too few elites to come to our aid, no matter what the cost is."
"Wait, what about Blue Star? If you can ask the strong man who moves the blue star to help. β
"It's not possible, although the Blue Star is not within the scope of the disaster, they are not necessarily in a better situation than we are. Moreover, the entire Blue Star World was blocked, and there was no way for them to step into the Secret Realm, otherwise, with the power of Blue Star, they would have developed an oasis in the Falling Star Cave a long time ago. β
There was silence again in the dim tower, and a faint despair permeated the ruins, just as the ruins outside the tower where no sunlight could shine.
The old woman broke the silence.
"We can only rely on ourselves."
Yi Yue Luxi looked out the window.
The drifting clouds obscured the sunlight, and the clouds of smoke lingered in her vision, and she clenched her palms, perhaps, she had to try to break through the six senses.
Otherwise, with the current situation in the oasis......
β¦
β¦
"The situation in our oasis is not good."
"The pressure comes not only from the treacherous disaster, but also from ...... That force. β
Igniting the Fire Mall, a venue leased for the residence of the Chamber of Commerce, the princess Yun Ji of the Silent Night Court looked at the trickery letter, her willow eyebrows tightened, she picked up and put down the sword placed on the table, staring at the sharp blade with a pair of eyes, silent for a long time.
The Court of Silent Night was far from regaining its former glory, and there were only a few powerhouses in the entire Oasis.
However, with nearly half of her forces trapped in the Burning Oasis, how could she not worry about her hometown? She also tried to travel through the Realms, but no matter how she tried, she failed, and she was forced to return before she could get far, and she saw no hope in sight.
"They all blame me, if it weren't for my failure to break through...... If you knew it, you should have given it to you. β
A middle-aged man with a resolute face, full of self-blame.
He is the third uncle of Yun Ji, and he is also the mythical seed cultivated by the Court of Silent Night, the old Liujue. Compared with a young man like Qi Yunji, who had only accumulated a few years during the Six Awakenings period, the third uncle had more hope of breaking through the realm.
After failing to transport the treasure back to his hometown, Yun Ji no longer left the Burning Fire Oasis, but asked the third uncle to come.
She is gambling, gambling on the credibility of the Ignition Chamber of Commerce, and betting on the safety of the mall.
She made a bet, but it also failed.
Pure Shenhui is indeed magical, and the third uncle does not leave any sequelae after the breakthrough failure, but failure is failure. What's even more anxious is that the three of them are trapped here, and they can only watch the oasis being invaded by the tide of evil and do it in a hurry.
Today, the situation in the Court of Silent Night is even more critical.
"I asked the Flame Builder for help, and since they can save those victims, maybe they can ...... as well."
"It's impossible, the risk of crossing the land of the inter-domain is far from being comparable within the Great Domain."
"The hope may be slim, but how do you know if it will work without giving it a try! No matter what the cost, as long as you can get your hometown through the difficulties, it will be worth it! β
Looking at Yun Ji, who pushed open the door and walked away quickly, the third uncle opened his mouth, and finally let out a sigh of self-reproach and despair.
β¦
Yun Ji felt that he was lucky to see the myth of the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce without much twists and turns.
But, huh?
Isn't it the mythical empress, how can she be a blonde hair...... The Blonde Empress?
She was surprised, stunned, and stunned, and her mind flashed with a lot of thoughts, which took a few seconds to recover. She forced herself not to be cranky, and then she made her request.
ββ¦β¦ We can pay for a variety of treasures in the Court of Silent Night, as long as you can escort us back to the Dusk Ruins Domain. β
The chips given by Yun Ji were so high that Hitina was also surprised.
She used to be the heir of the Isle of the North Wind, but many of the prices offered by Yun Ji, the 'Little Court of the Silent Night', were not even available to them on the Isle of the North Wind.
It's no wonder that the finale was auctioned with a lot of money.
This oasis of the Court of Silent Night must have a big secret. However, Hitina had no desire to explore these secrets, and she only pondered the request or the deal as a guard.
He shook his head.
"No one knows what will happen when this period crosses the land of the Interregion, and the risk is too high, I can't agree to it."
Yun Ji's face turned pale.
Although this result was expected, she still lost her last glimmer of hope as if she had lost her soul.
She staggered towards the door, which swayed to her eyes.
Bang β
The rickety door was suddenly pushed open.
A red-haired girl in a loose robe and a towel walked in. Her long, silky burgundy hair could be seen dripping with droplets.
But how can this girl have ...... There are hundreds of millions of points that are familiar.
Is that the red-haired empress?!
Yun Ji couldn't connect the domineering red-haired empress with the girl in front of her who seemed to have just come out of the shower and was very down-to-earth.
She soon ran out of time to think about it, and her mind echoed with the words uttered by the empress.
"I ...... The empress has a plan. β
"Please give me some advice!"
Ilohi looked at the bowed clouds.
The expression was a little haggard, but he could vaguely see that he was a beauty, of course, compared with her Empress Iroshi, it was still a few cuts worse, and it was not bad.
On top of that, she seems to be a Liujue and an important figure in a great power in the Outlands.
Iroshi spoke, "Are you selling yourself?" β
Yun Ji: "??? β
Ilohi laughed a few times, "My plan is that if you are willing to sell yourself, you will get a chance to redeem your hometown, which is not available to everyone. β
She looked at Yun Ji from top to bottom a few more times.
"Don't miss the opportunity, the time will never come, and you don't want your hometown to be destroyed."
Yun Ji hesitated.
This empress looks very unreliable, but after all, she is a myth, and she feels that she will not be untargeted.
It's just, what do you want to do after selling yourself?
But if you can really save your hometown, it's worth it!
Hitina was confused for a while before she suddenly realized, "Could it be ......?"
"Bingo, that's the ......"
"But you asked for a guide...... Will he be the old man's opinion? β
"yes."
Ilohi fluttered in her mind @ the mentor for a while, and soon, she received a reply from the mentor.
At the same time, there was also a contract document outlined in front of her.
Instruments that have been prepared.
How fast is the tutor?
She picked up the paperwork and glanced at it. Good guy, this girl just wants people to sell herself, tutor, you even want people to bring money, you can only say that black or mentor you black, worthy of you!
"Whoa!"
She slapped it in front of Yun Ji, "Two choices, one is to sign and one is not to sign, girl, this is your last chance." β
On the contract paper, there are hundreds of characters larger.
In front of the myth, Yun Ji didn't dare to take a closer look, but she quickly scanned it and found that this contract was not as strict as she imagined, at least, there were no strange terms of selling her body.
The most mentioned is nothing more than work and income.
She really didn't have a choice, so she bit the blood on her thumb and pressed it hard.
Let Iroshi "no need to bleed" the sentence didn't have time to say.
"Now that you are your own person, the great and black-hearted mentor will baptize you and help you break through the realm of mythology. When you get promoted to the myth, you can always cross the realm by yourself. β
didn't have time to think about it, why the red-haired empress said that the myth of promotion was as ordinary as eating and drinking, Yun Ji only thought that it was 'Pure Divine Radiance' and 'Water of Roots' There was still a little bit of it.
The Flame Builder is indeed very generous.
And according to the content of the contract, she will also pay for some treasures and ritual technology.
Thinking of this, she felt that some secrets could not be hidden, so she simply opened up to avoid estrangement in the future.
"We ...... The predecessor of our Silent Night Court was actually the overlord-level force 'Land of the Night', however, in order to avoid being pursued by the Polar Night Camp, we had no choice but to flee to the Dusk Ruins Domain and change our name incognito. β
She was worried.
According to the contract, she is already an employee of the Burning Chamber of Commerce, but they are still being hunted by the minions of the evil god. And the horror of the evil god camp is even more than this catastrophe.
If you say it, you may be left out in the cold and excluded in the future, but it is better than concealing it, and there are also clauses in the contract that important secrets cannot be hidden.
Yun Ji's heart was beating, and she was worried.
Waiting for Irohi to tilt his head, "That's it?" This empress still thinks it's a big deal, isn't it to stop the evil god camp from devouring the outside world, we have even slaughtered those evil god servants many times. β
Yun Ji: "??? β
