Chapter 189: Explain the aftermath
The connection between the goddess and the minotaur was unknown to the others, and in their eyes the minotaur was just a momentary flute before suddenly changing his mind and deciding to go to hell. The people who were still thinking about Mo Yan's ruthlessness just now also threw this idea out of nowhere, and persuaded the Minotaur one by one to hope that he would change his mind.
Now the entire federation is relying on Mo Yan's decision-making to deal with some things that need to be dealt with. Although the arrival of the rainy season has left the Lightning Legion on the march to stay in the city they have occupied, there will be no urgent treatment. But other matters also need to be decided by Mo Yan, and the various technologies in the research institute also need Mo Yan's guidance, so that there will be some big progress, and every moment he leaves will cause a lot of losses.
But now that Mo Yan has made a decision, it is not so easy to change. For some of the questions raised by everyone, Mo Yan gave detailed explanations and answers one by one. Now the whole city will not collapse without him, once the system is established, it will continue to run on its own, and after he leaves, it will stagnate at most.
After letting most of the people leave, there are only four people left in the office who have a relatively high level of trust in Mo Yan at present. Regel, the leader of the SS who is responsible for Mo Yan's secret affairs, Emily, who has been in charge of the documents, and Ellie and Jones, who do not hold any positions themselves, but are the strongest fighting power in Thunder Cliff.
Well, in fact, apart from the servants who watched the fun, that is, Claude and Ruiz, who were close attendants, left the room. Mo Yan looked at the few people present and said, "Now the people here are the people I trust the most, and it is imperative for me to go to hell this time." So during the time I'm away, everything in Thunder Cliff needs to be handed over to you to take care of for me. ”
"I'm going to hell with my master, too!" Jones was the first to object. Although it is good that someone is willing to go to hell with him, the actual situation makes Mo Yan have other considerations. And when he said that, he almost guessed that Jones would answer like this.
"Jones, you and Ellie must stay at Thunder Bluff. Mo Yan looked at Jones and Ellie with a smile and shook his head and said, "I have a very important task entrusted to you, which is related to whether my power can be preserved. After all, there is a barrier between hell and this world that will deprive me of my strength, and I must keep my power in this world. ”
Mo Yan's power was given by the goddess, and in order to ensure that the power in his body was not removed by the barrier set up by the gods in vain when he passed through the barrier. He needs to keep his power here and put it in the custody of the person he thinks is the most powerful and trusted, and Ellie and Jones are the best choices.
Ellie's strength is unbeatable even by him, and Jones, although he is still a minor, is a powerful dragon on the continent, and has the ability to fly that many people on the continent do not have. With the two of them to take care of their own strength, Mo Yan can be said to be the most assured, even if the Chosen Warriors of the whole continent come to form a group to brush the two of them, even if they can't beat them, at least they can run away.
"But if you leave all your strength here, how can you survive in hell?" Emily said worriedly after listening to Mo Yan's words, "It's much more dangerous there than here, if there is no strong strength to guarantee." If you go, you may never come back, and I don't worry about you going to such a dangerous place. ”
Emily, who became Mo Yan's wife, also took on the appearance of a wife at this time. Although nothing was actually happening between them, Emily had begun to slowly put herself in her place. Like most wives, they also want to keep Mo Yan by their side at some point, fearing that he will be damaged in one way or another.
"I'll go with the magic sword. Hearing Emily's words, Mo Yan said, "Although such a weapon is not particularly powerful now, it is enough to survive in hell." And I didn't plan to stay too long this time, and even if I didn't do all the things I wanted to do, I would be back before the end of the rainy season. ”
"Besides, Emily, you're the smartest and most steady person I've trusted. Mo Yan looked at Emily and continued, "In the few months that I have been away, all the decisions of Thunder Cliff have been handled by you. Of course, generally speaking, there should not be too many complicated things, and many times they are trivial things that are not in a hurry to deal with. If you're really not sure, you can throw it there, and I'll be working on it when I get back. ”
Emily wasn't the smartest person in Thunder Bluff, but she was good enough to deal with the usual. After all, such an important position can't be handed over to others casually, and Mo Yan doesn't want to find that his city has become someone else's lair when he returns.
"Even so, I'm still worried about your safety. Mo Yan's words did not comfort Emily, she still frowned and said: "It's better not to go there if it's possible, of course, if you insist on doing it, I won't stop you, after all, what you do is for various reasons." I just hope you try to take care of yourself and don't die in a corner of hell. If you don't come back before the rainy season, I'm really going to get married. ”
Emily's small threat made Mo Yan smile, even if Emily wanted to remarry now, there would be no one willing to marry him in the short term. She said this just to make Mo Yan pay attention to his own safety, so that he could return to the Thunder Cliff before the rainy season was over, as he had planned.
"Here you are my eyes and arms in the dark, Regel. Mo Yan turned his head to look at Regel, who had been waiting quietly, and said, "The entire Thunder Cliff is equivalent to being under your surveillance, and you are also the first person to show loyalty to me. I hope that after I leave, you will be able to keep the whole of Thunder Bluff safe, eliminate the threats that are hiding in the shadows, and if you need strong support, you can go to Jones and Ellie, they will provide you with the necessary help. ”
Regel was one of Mo Yan's trusted subordinates, but he was also the one he was most wary of. Mo Yan gave him huge rights, but at the same time, he also gave him a lot of shackles. If a role like the secret police is not managed well, it can easily become a hot sweet potato. It would be a huge waste to throw it away, and it would hurt your hands to hold it in your hands.
Mo Yan said seemingly casually that Regel could borrow the support of great power from Jones and Ellie, on the one hand, it really meant this, and on the other hand, it was a subtle reminder to him that after you left, you did not lose the protection of your power here. If she really did something, Emily could completely wipe out the power of ordinary people in his hands through Ellie and Jones.
After Mo Yan talked with the four people in general, he asked the other three to go out and explain some other things separately. After saying a lot of things as if explaining the aftermath, before I knew it, the sky was completely dark, and I casually wore my favorite clothes, and Mo Yan led everyone to the temple of the goddess.
The monster priests in the temple were already ready and waiting for Mo Yan's arrival. And Ruiz and the others, who knew the news outside this temple, also stayed there and waited for the results to appear. Ruiz wondered if this goddess, who didn't even have a name, could really send the minotaur to hell? After all, the power required to cross the barrier was not small.
The only people who follow Mo Yan into the temple are Ellie and Jones, and Emily, who is worried about Mo Yan, will watch the whole ceremony unfold. The first thing to do is to extract the power in Mo Yan's body, but in fact, Mo Yan doesn't need to do anything, just stand in front of the statue of the goddess.
Just like the last time Mo Yan was caught in the Void Arena of the Demon Sword, bits of light fell from under the dome of the temple and merged into Mo Yan's strong body. Such a scene made Emily, who saw this for the first time, completely believe in the existence of this unknown goddess, and no longer think that this is just a fictional god of the Minotaurs.
After the point of light fell into Mo Yan's body, his originally unusually tall and strong body began to shrink. Not only have the original bursting and bulging muscles been reduced a lot, but even the height has been shortened by more than ten centimeters. Mo Yan, who was already accustomed to being energetic, suddenly changed back to the physique of a normal minotaur, and he really felt a little uncomfortable.
Just as Mo Yan was about to say something, he felt a foreign object appear in his throat. The uncomfortable feeling made Mo Yan want to vomit, so he quickly spit out the thing and caught it with his big hand. I saw a crystal ball that was not very large, and in his hand it shone dazzlingly, illuminating the entire hall lit with torches and candles.
And the people outside the temple also saw this dazzling light, and they all felt miraculous and said some gossip and conjectures. And Ruiz, who knows more about mysterious powers, is more frowning and doesn't know what to think. He didn't feel even a trace of magical power from this light, and as far as he knew, there were not many people who could emit such a light.
He put the ball of light into the sturdy cloth bag that had been prepared and handed it to the two girls who had been waiting for him. This is all the power he has, and now Mo Yan, who has lost this power, is just the most ordinary minotaur. He took such a big risk to go to hell, hoping that the benefits would be proportional.
Because everything except the magic sword will be destroyed by the law when it passes through the barrier. So Mo Yan has nothing to prepare, everything can only be done after hell. Mo Yan, who was ready, walked to the magic circle that appeared in the middle of the temple, smiled and waved his hand to Emily and the others, and in a flash of light, completely disappeared into the temple.
And for some reason, all the statues of the goddesses in the temple seemed to show some playful smiles.
