869. The Day of Assembly: The Determination of Repentance
Lord Pa Ying gave a seven-day assembly time, which was obviously enough time for all the Godslayers involved in the operation to prepare.
Well, the term "high EQ" is "prepare", and low EQ is "taking care of the aftermath".
After all, the entire team of god killers will definitely not exceed five hundred people even if they count the alien "pao" (gray) in Transasia, even if there are a large number of golden ones to take the lead, but with such a few people to kill into the moss valley of the god land of the jackals, and fight against an evil god who is about to awaken, it is certain that most of these five hundred people will not be able to return to their hometown alive.
Giving more time to spend with your family, or seizing the time to write a suicide note, bury treasures, etc., are all due meanings.
Of course, the reason why seven days is so long is also to take care of some guys who come from afar to do some serious things on the way.
Now, for example, in the night of the eerie purple arc of light in Translasia, in a wasteland on the border of the Eldermar Hills and East Prus, a team of godkillers from the Plantagenet Kingdom is encamping here.
Appointed by King Louis himself, this team was small in number, but very elite.
The two court sword masters led by the palace and a purification sage supported by the royal family are both gold-ranked, and there are thirty silver-level Plantagenet cavalry as the main body, in addition to the team there is also a psionic master from the Tower of the Ring.
It was a halfling, the new owner of the Tower of Rings, a subordinate of the Tower of the Ring, who had just been purged.
She also has another identity, she is the only daughter of the late halfling engineering grandmaster Professor Bach Sr., that is, the little sister of the old flywheel, the white moonlight of his youth.
These two identities give Ms. Bach Jr. a halo that shines brighter than her peers.
For many years, she has been prominent in the Tower of the Ring, but because she is not in the human camp, she has not been able to hold a position of real power in the Tower of the Ring, and now the status of the tower owner of the Tower of Manipulation is still forcibly granted by Lord Sim the "Undead".
After all, in this god-killing operation, Little Bach represents the little face left in the Tower of the Ring, so it must be taken seriously.
There were more than twenty spellcasters wearing the uniforms of the Tower of the Rings beside him, and judging from the psionic fluctuations on their bodies, the worst of these guys were psionic masters, and one of them even reached the Domination level with psionic fluctuations.
But these guys are like having their souls drained, like manipulated walking corpses, obeying all the orders of little Bach.
This is obviously a very evil means of control, but considering that these guys were all members of the Dusk before, such a punishment can only be rated as just right or even a little compassionate for them.
At this time, little Ms. Bach was standing at the edge of the camp and talking to a short, hooded man.
The guy dressed himself very mysteriously, as if he was ashamed to see people, only showing a pair of eyes, but from the iconic scar on the eye, you can tell that this is the old flywheel guy, but he is not here to talk about love with the former Bai Yueguang.
He came to tell the news.
"Listen to me, Amya, Governor Murphy will be here in a moment, and although he has promised to meet with you, he is seriously hostile to all the members of the Tower of the Ring, and he thinks that your organization no longer needs to exist.
He didn't allow them to set foot in his territory, and he only came to see you this time because you answered Lord Pa Ying's call to kill the gods.
I don't know what you're going to talk to him about, but restrain your personality and don't provoke him. ”
The old flywheel reminded in a whisper:
"From what I have seen and heard in Transnesia, I can judge Governor Murphy as a very good ruler! His performance in the Black Plague is remarkable, and his status in the eyes of Lord Pa Ying is transcendent, and I can't say much about that guy's hidden identity, but he is definitely not an ordinary vampire lord.
You have to be careful. ”
"Senior Flywheel, being so cautious doesn't look like you I remember."
Little Bach, who had a cute mechanical parrot doll standing on her shoulder, let out a crisp giggle characteristic of halfling girls, and with two cute balls on her head, she was holding a mechanical staff taller than her, and asked the old flywheel curiously:
"So what exactly changed you? Where is the rebellious engineer who once dared to fight against the Steam Lords and vowed to spread the mysteries of the Psionic Orb to the rest of the world?
I've heard that you got together with Madame Taylor after leaving Port Chardo, that femme fatale is not a good person, and that she has a group of killers cultivated by the Thieves' Guild in addition to running the black market. ”
"Alas, things are people, you are no longer the you you used to be, and I am no longer the person I used to be, we have all been changed by time, just as a wise person as even a mentor in my memory will be immersed in some strange problems in his old age."
The old flywheel looked at the posture of "unbearable to look back on", sighed and said:
"After falling out with you, I also reflected that I was indeed too slippery when I was young, and I deserved to suffer a little setback, but what about you? I haven't heard from you in years, something seems to have happened between you and Minks?
Is it convenient to elaborate? ”
"There's nothing I can't say."
She looks like a young girl, but her actual age is only three years younger than the old flywheel, and the halfling "Mother-in-law" Bach turns her head to look at the Astral Creation hanging above the sky dome in the distance.
She reached out and flicked the quacking mechanical parrot on her shoulder, and whispered in a calm tone:
"Minks has always felt guilty about what happened to you, he thinks it was his sudden intervention in our relationship that changed your mind, he has been alienating me since you fled the port of Chardo, and I, I'm not the skinless person.
Because of me, your once very good brothers turned against me, and the Steam Lords tried to monopolize Daddy's knowledge, so I was bored staying in Port Chardo, so I left my hometown and traveled to the continent when I was invited by the Tower of the Ring to settle there.
I thought I would spend my life in such a way that didn't conform to the tradition of halflings, but in the second half of my life I suffered the bad things of twilight.
After my good friend Lena was killed by them, I realized that something was wrong in the Tower of the Ring, and Lord Sim secretly contacted me, and we formed a secret society to defend the mystery of the 'Great Dean', and it was not until the recent attack on White Cliff by Lord Pa Ying and the Greeney Legion that we seized the opportunity.
A lot of people are fooled by Twilight, Flywheel Senior.
After this incident, I was determined to devote the rest of my life to these things that were more important than personal grievances, and that participating in the battle of the gods was only the first step, after which I would also fight Twilight to the end.
But not because of how high my morals are, but just because I have some private reasons that I can't say right now.
Can I ask you for one thing? Senior. ”
"Well, you say, I can do what I can."
When the old flywheel heard the truth that the former little junior sister and his little junior brother failed to get together, he did not have joy in his heart, only bitterness.
The past events were all caused by him, and he knew this very well, just as Minks felt guilty about him, he had not dared to return to Port Chardo for so many years because he was afraid to see his junior brother, and he had lived to his age to let go of many things in the past.
Although he is still scolding Minks for being shameless on the surface, in fact, he only hopes that his younger brothers and sisters can live well.
"I want you to go back to the port of Chardo."
Bach Jr. said very seriously:
"The situation over there is really bad, we all know that the city can't withstand the wolf-like gnolls, and I went to kill the evil god in the hope of getting some chance for our kindred, but you and I both know Minks' stubborn temper.
He had been the dean of the Chardo Craftsman University for so many years, and he had long regarded the students there as if they were his own children.
He wouldn't leave his academy behind and escape alone.
I'm not asking you to persuade him to escape, Minks is a pure researcher obsessed with engineering, and he is far less flexible in dealing with these external changes than the two of us, and I hope that in this most critical moment, you will return to him, just as you two worked together to solve those problems.
With you helping him, Minks and Daddy's hard work have a better chance of surviving this disaster. ”
"I'd love to, Amya, but I can't really leave right now."
The old flywheel said with a complicated face:
"I'm following up on a project, a project that has a high probability of causing the entire Dark Mountain Range to explode in an instant, and I think a good psionic master like you can already guess what I'm talking about."
"Something to do with subspace?"
Little Bach's face changed slightly, and the old flywheel nodded.
As a psionic master who had just experienced the "Twilight Rebellion", she knew too well the destructive power of subspace forces in doing bad things, and when she heard the distress of the old flywheel, she immediately nodded and said:
"Then go ahead and finish your job, and I'll find another way on Minks' side."
"It doesn't have to be that way, the old flywheel's project will be over in twenty-five days at the latest, and he can go to the port of Chardo as soon as he is done, the siege of the gnolls will not end anytime soon, and the wolf venom of our Midnight clan has already led a large army to rush there to help."
A gentle voice sounded in the quiet night, causing the old flywheel to turn his head nervously, and saw a pair of huge blood wings closing in the shadows, and Murphy, wearing a swordsman's robe, appeared in front of the two of them with his hands behind his back.
He's coming to the appointment.
"Lord Flywheel, don't you have to learn all those complicated theories and practices with Ms. Monica today? With little Sharon there, I don't think she's really going to be able to keep up with the amazing amount of schoolwork, right? ”
Murphy asked expressionlessly, and the old flywheel said with a little weakness:
"Today, the lady gave us a half-day off, she wants to do some maintenance for herself, by the way, plan the next renovation process to start, I didn't skip school, Murphy, I'm just afraid that little Bach and you will not meet pleasantly."
"I've always been very polite to women, and even if I don't agree with some of what Ms. Bach Jr. says, I won't show it to my face, let alone argue with her rudely, you can rest assured."
Murphy waved his hand and said:
"You should go back, you know how important the work over there is, and I don't need to stress it again."
"I'll leave at once."
The old flywheel turned his head and said a few more words to his white moonlight, and then drove a magic carpet out of here, and after he left, Murphy whispered:
"Actually, I've just concealed something, little Bach, Madame Taylor has offered you a hefty bounty on your head, and the famous 'Black Widow' of Port Chardo doesn't want her lover to hook up with other women outside.
You see, I've been short of money lately, so I'm going to take this bounty."
"Hahaha, you're so humorous, Lord Murphy."
Little Bach was amused.
But in the next second, she saw Murphy raise his left hand, and a pale light burst out of his hand, turning into a halo that swept across the area where the two of them were.
It was some sort of reconnaissance that caused the mechanical parrot on her shoulder to rattle in horror and made Bach realize that Murphy might not have been joking.
"Just now. What is that? ”
The tower master of the Tower of Manipulation vigilantly grabbed his mechanical staff, she looked at Murphy, the vampire lord frowned and felt the information brought back by the Omega program sweeping around just now, he stared at little Bach and said:
"You don't have subspace pollution on you, but you have something else on you, to be precise, something terrible in your head, is that thing trying to protect you from being polluted by the cultists in the White Cliffs?
Lord Pa Ying told me that I could trust the Pure faction formed by His Excellency Sim the 'Undead'.
I thought he was old and confused at the time, but now it seems that your secret society does have some skills, and you actually rely on this strange 'symbioa' to protect yourself from being corrupted by subspace. ”
"You are also very good, Lord Murphy, this thing is hidden so deep that you have discovered it."
Little Bach said in a wary tone:
"It seems that the 'Great Dean' is not exaggerating in his prediction of you, you are indeed a key person who can directly affect the fate of the continent, but the secret about the symbiosis in our brains should not be explained to you.
The reason why I must meet you with a dead face is to convey an invitation to you on behalf of Lord Sim.
After the crisis in Translancia and the events of the Black Plague, the Purifier faction invites you to the White Cliffs, or more precisely, the 'Addan' invites you to the White Cliffs, where there is one thing waiting for you to obtain. ”
"Oh? What belongs to me? ”
Murphy blinked, and he asked rhetorically:
"How did I not know I had something left there? Do you know what that is? ”
Little Bach shook his head and said with some annoyance:
"The logic of the Dean's operation is beyond our comprehension, we can only ask some questions and get accurate answers and act on the prophecies it gives, but even Lord Sim, who has personally repaired it, has a hard time interpreting every prophecy perfectly.
It says it does, and maybe it is.
According to the prophecy given by the Grand Dean, it should be about something called the 'Eye of the Overseer'."
"Well, I see, I'll go to the appointment when the time is right."
After hearing the phrase "Eye of the Overseer", Murphy knew in his heart that when he first got the Vientiane device, it had reminded him that in order to unlock all the potential of the Vientiane device, it had to find the eye of the Overseer, and then take it apart and take out the core inside.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is a well-planned trap to invite Alpha into the urn, but the risks involved must be controlled by Murphy himself.
"Alright, the words are here, and we should go too."
Little Bach shifted her shoulders in place, and she said goodbye to Murphy with the sweet smile of a halfling girl, as if she really didn't plan to talk more to Murphy.
This decisive gesture made Murphy a little curious, and he said:
"I thought you were going to defend the Tower of the Ring."
"Why justify? It is indeed that we have done the wrong thing, it is our lax control that has caused the pollution of the twilight, and we have caused a series of terrible changes, these wrong things have been forged, and naturally we will not be able to escape the responsibility we should be shouldered because of a firm reversal of the chaos.
In the current situation, it is worth 10,000 empty words of justification and apology for us to do a good deed for the civilized camp with our own hands. ”
Little Bach turned around, waved his hand very chic and said:
"None of the Pure are eloquent people, so please, let us prove our apologies by taking action, and beheading the evil god under my horse, so that I may be entitled to request a visit to Transcia as a guest.
Oh yes.
Thank you for your help about Lena.
I thought I had lost Lena, but she was one of the few true friends I've ever had in my life. ”
"Actually, before I met you, I thought you were a bad woman who instigated the two brothers to be jealous of you."
Murphy said behind her:
"I apologize to you for my nasty thoughts, you are indeed a very personable psychic."
"But why do you think I was not such a superficial and stupid girl?"
Little Bach covered his mouth and laughed a few times, and said:
"People change, right?
Change is the truth of this world, the rock will also be weathered in time, no matter how stupid people have experienced the vicissitudes of the world, they will become wise, on the other hand, those smart guys will become paranoid and stupid in the passage of time.
I have hurt two people who are very important to me.
All my life I have to bear the condemnation of my soul for those stupid green years, and the stupidest thing is that we have all missed the best moment of reconciliation, like three lines that will never intersect again.
But luckily, life doesn't stop because of a single mistake, and there's still a lot we can do.
Alas, this old lady of mine is talking a lot again.
I'm sorry, Lord Murphy, but I'm just telling you about the mistakes I've made, and if you can learn a lesson from them, then our meeting tonight will be a waste."
She turned to see Murphy's expression, only to find that the vampire who had been there had disappeared without a trace.
Ah, what a nasty guy!
I didn't even want to listen to the old man's super precious life motto!
Granny Bach complained in her heart that the young vampire of this generation of the Vulture Clan was really rude, but that Governor Murphy was indeed super handsome as rumored.
"Hmph, let's go, guys."
With a wave of his hand, the twenty or so psionics next to the camp stood up like zombies in the hands of corpse chasers.
She looked in the direction of the Dark Mountains and said:
"It's time to go to our destiny, and let's apologize to those who have been hurt."
