The shopkeeper's mind had been completely controlled by Ji Dong. He muttered: "Because only the Lord Demon can wear such gorgeous clothes, and only the Lord Demon and the army can eat well, looking at your complexion and clothes, I can only judge that you are the Lord Magician." ”

Ji Dong said in surprise: "Except for the magicians and the army, don't you civilians even have enough to eat?

"Aristocrat, what is that?" the shopkeeper looked blank, "Lord Tianji said that all beings are equal, and only by giving more can you get more." If the magicians and the army want to protect our continent, of course, they must provide for it with the best. And those of us who are mediocre have survived because of their kindness. All in the service of the mages and the army. Ten years ago, when the jihad was declared to begin, the amount of taxes we would have paid has doubled. Except for the mages and the army, even the city lords are already hungry. People starve to death every day. ”

After listening to the words of the shopkeeper, Ji Dong finally understood what he was seeing in front of him. This is how the so-called thousand-year-old accumulation of the Dark Heavenly Machine came from. It was obtained by oppressing civilians in this way. The shock was not light on him.

"Do you have a map of the continent here?" asked Ji Dong in a deep voice.

"Yes. Under Ji Dong's order, the shopkeeper got up tremblingly, took out a somewhat broken map of the continent from the cabinet in the back, and respectfully handed it to Ji Dong.

Ji Dong didn't know what the coins on the Dark Five Elements Continent looked like, so naturally he couldn't pay him. Erased the memory of his brief time and stepped back.

What greeted Ji Dong was the solemn faces of the Tiangan Saints, although he had gone in alone. But through soul sharing, he shared the situation inside with his partners, and what he heard, his partners naturally heard it too.

Tianji frowned, "It turned out to be like this." Unexpectedly, the Dark Five Elements Continent was completely different from what we imagined. "Yes, it's completely different. Before coming, the Heavenly Stem Saints had a very high prediction of this location continent. With the strength of the Dark Heavenly Machine, all the Dark Heavenly Stem Saints possessed the power of the artifact, and there were millions of extremely well-equipped dark armies on the Holy Evil Island. All of this was proving to them how powerful and prosperous the comprehensive strength of the Dark Five Elements Continent was. However, when they actually came here, they were surprised to find that everything was different from what they had imagined. Here, not only did you not see any prosperity, but you saw a dilapidation. In terms of prosperity, this darkness is far less than the light.

Yao Qian wrote: "Could this be just this city, or is this the case in this area? After all, this is not too far from the front line. ”

Ji Dong said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, it's fine, but if the entire Dark Five Elements Continent is the scene in front of you, then the first thing that will be ruined is not our Bright Five Elements Continent, but the Dark Five Elements Continent itself." ”

Miao Miao asked Ji Dong, "Then what should we do now?" Since she learned that Fury was going to Infernal Affairs, although she was no longer angry, there was always a faint layer of sorrow on her beautiful face.

Ji Dong said: "Everything went according to the original plan. At the same time, since the Dark Five Elements Continent was far beyond our expectations. We also have to explore this continent carefully. There is still a lot of time, there is no hurry to act, and you know that the other side can not be defeated. If the Dark Five Elements Continent is really the scene in front of us, then we can at least be sure of one thing. That is the weakness of the Dark Celestial Machine and his dark army. With such a poor scene in the Dark Continent, even if he had more troops at hand now, it would be impossible for him to fight a protracted war. Millions of troops! The daily consumption is astronomical. And these consumption comes from these civilians who can't even eat enough in front of them. Originally, I didn't have much confidence, but now it seems that our chances of this holy war are actually not small. I am afraid that it is precisely because the situation in the Dark Continent is not optimistic, that we are full of covetousness in the Bright Continent. His idea must be to use war to feed the war, invade our Bright Five Elements Continent as soon as possible, and further wage war through plunder. Dark Sky may be a hero, but he is by no means a good ruler. In other words, in his kind of one-word situation, no one dared to help him govern the continent at all. Moreover, this situation must not be caused by a generation of heavenly machines, he claims to have sacrificed ten generations of heavenly machines to create an opportunity, it seems that the civilians on the Dark Five Elements Continent have also spent ten generations of painful times. ”

The Heavenly Stem Saints nodded their heads one after another, if the Dark Continent was really like what they saw in front of them. Compared to that, the foundation of the Bright Five Elements Continent is much deeper. Of course, this also makes sense only after the start of the Great War, when the Bright Continent can drag the war into a protracted war. As it stands, this is not possible.

Ji said: "What we see in front of us makes the situation more complicated. It's a little too early to tell. I have to take a look at this Dark Five Elements Continent more. Let's find a quiet place to rest and study the map of this dark continent. ”

Anyway, this is also a main city, although it is dilapidated, but it is not too difficult to find a hotel, and soon, everyone found a hotel with bungalows. A very similar scene appeared before when they walked into the hotel, they didn't need to say anything at all, the owner of the hotel and the only waiter immediately greeted them, respectfully arranged for them to check in, and did not mention the matter of collecting money at all.

Compared with the hotels in the Bright Five Elements Continent, the decoration here is simple and outrageous, fortunately it is quite clean, as the so-called local customs, not to mention that the Bright Saints have such an important task, naturally they will not be entangled in these external affairs, and will stay in it.

Ji Dong gathered his partners in his small room, and as soon as everyone entered the door, Yao Qianshu said with a smile: "The feeling of this Dark Five Elements Continent is not bad, it is simply a paradise for magicians, and magicians come here like uncles." It seems that they don't have to pay for anything, their magicians in the Dark Five Elements Continent are really happy!"

Tianji glanced at Yao Qianshu and said, "Then do you know what this situation means?"

Yao Qianshu was stunned for a moment. "Does it mean that ordinary people live in poverty?"

Tianji shook his head, and Ji Dong, who was sitting in the chair, had already said, "This means that the number of mages in the Dark Five Elements Continent will far exceed our expectations. Along the way, I took a closer look, and the number of young adults in the city is actually very small. Before we entered the city, we saw farmers in the fields on both sides of the official road, and there were also few young and middle-aged people. I thought about it for a while, and this means two things, and all the young and middle-aged people are probably devoting themselves to the great cause of the Dark Heaven. If you are a resident of this city, living on such a continent, what are you going to do when you have children? In order to get ahead, to have enough food and live a good life, then there are only two choices. The first choice is naturally to become a magician, if I guess correctly, on this Dark Five Elements Continent, there must be a more systematic and strict way to select a magician than our Bright Five Elements Continent. And it's certainly everywhere, all controlled by the Dark Celestial Machine. In order to survive better and live a good life, as long as a teenager with half a bit of magic talent is talented, I am afraid that they will go all out to cultivate under the supervision of their families, in order to be able to fly on the branches and become a phoenix. And those teenagers who really can't cultivate to become magicians, in order to be fed and clothed. The other way is to become a soldier, although it will be much more bumpy, but after all, the army will definitely be able to feed them. ”

Tianji said through Ji Dong's words: "In this case, we are afraid that we will have to re-evaluate the Dark Five Elements Continent. If all the cities of the Dark Five Elements Continent were like the one in front of them, or if they were about the same. Then, the total number of magicians and armies in the Dark Five Elements Continent is probably much more terrifying than we expected. I am afraid that such a system is deliberately done by the dark heavens, and it is better to consume the vitality of the future development of the entire continent than to build a powerful and terrifying military force with extravagance and force. And as the master and belief of this military force, as long as he can invade our Bright Five Elements Continent. Well, everything is not a problem. ”

Yao Qianshu gasped, "This guy from the Dark Heavenly Machine is simply terrifying. I'm afraid only he can think of this kind of desperate method. I'm glad I was born in the Bright Five Elements Continent. Although we are much worse than the Dark Five Elements Continent in terms of military strength, a hundred years of peace have made our continent full of vitality. Although it cannot be said that there is no dirty place, compared to the life here, it is simply the difference between heaven and hell. ”

Ji Dong spread out the map he had bought before on the bed, pointed to the map and said, "In terms of area, the Dark Five Elements Continent is smaller than our Bright Five Elements Continent, about one-third smaller. On the surface, it seems that this side is also divided into five countries, and even the names of the countries are similar to ours. The text is slightly different, but not much, vaguely recognizable. In reality, there is no point in the country here. Everything revolves around here. ”

As he spoke, Ji Dong raised his hand and patted it at the very center of the map. The crowd focused on it, and saw that it was an area completely covered in black, with no other distinction on it, except for the simplest four words: Dark Temple.

"This must be the lair of the Dark Celestials. All orders to manipulate the Dark Five Elements Continent were issued from here. It is also here that the strongest power on this continent has been mastered and has ruled this continent for thousands of years. At the same time, this will also be the first goal of our trip. Ji's fingers tapped heavily on the area of the Dark Temple.

Listening to Ji Dong's words, Wolf Tianyi's eyes lit up, "Young Master, shall we break the root of it first?"

Ji Dong smiled slightly and said, "Of course, this is one of the reasons. Now is a good opportunity for us, because the senior brother has passed on the news to the Dark Celestial Machine, so that he can lead the Dark Celestial Stem Saints to intercept us on the Holy Evil Island. Even if we were prepared, the Dark Heavenly Machine did bring us a lot of trouble, and it was not easy to break through the encirclement and enter the Dark Five Elements Continent. However, from the moment we broke through the barrier and entered the Dark Five Elements Continent, the initiative was already in our hands. Don't let everyone do it in advance, in order to be able to go to the lair of the dark sky machine first. There are several advantages to doing this, first of all, neither the Dark Celestial Machine nor the Dark Celestial Stem Saints are there. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, how can we not leave a mark on the Dark Temple?"

Hearing Ji Dong say this, a smile couldn't help but appear on everyone's faces.

Ji Dong continued: "Secondly, there must be a large number of mages stationed in the Dark Temple, and those who can be stationed there must be die-hard loyalists of the Dark Heavenly Machine, the most devout believers in the darkness. We don't need any psychological burden to kill them. The third and most important point is that the two Bright Water Artifacts must be stored in the Dark Temple by the Dark Celestial Machine. This will also be our primary goal. If we don't attack the Dark Temple right now, then we probably won't have a chance to do it in the future. It is for these reasons that I have set our first goal here, and it must not be exposed until it is accomplished. If you have any suggestions, you can put them forward immediately, and we will discuss them together. ”

Ah Jin was the first to shake his head and said lightly: "I only have to kill people, and the rest is your business." ”

Chen Sixuan smiled slightly and didn't say anything, but her eyes always stayed on Ji Dong.

Yao Qianshu smiled and said: "Ji Dong has thought about it so carefully, I don't have any opinion." But, Tianji, can you give us an estimate of the good luck of this trip?"

Tianji bowed slightly, raised his hands, and pressed it in the air, and at the same time the palm was retracted, and he tapped it on his forehead, and suddenly, the eye of Tianji hidden in the center of his eyebrows quietly opened, and a faint color appeared out of thin air. With the opening of the Eye of the Heavenly Machine, the gaze of the Heavenly Machine suddenly became dazed, but there seemed to be a special light shining, as if it was looking at a distant place.

The Heavenly Stem Saints waited quietly.

For a long time, the index finger of the right hand of the heavenly machine pointed above the eye of his heavenly machine, and all the strange colors stopped at the same time. With a long sigh, he nodded to Ji Dong and said four words from his mouth......
