Chapter 368 Asking for Help and Selling Yourself (6K)
As night falls, the lights in Ranhuo Mall are still brightly lit, and the streets are filled with busy but orderly vehicles, transporting batches of war supplies to the city wall defense area.
Looking at the transport workers rushing by, several high-ranking mercenary group leaders gathered together again.
"Do you think the disaster is almost over?"
"Is there any?"
"I didn't realize that in the past few days, the number of times the empress has taken action has obviously decreased. The defense line seems to be less dangerous."
"No……"
The leader of the group who was hosting the party spoke.
His eyes were red and bloodshot, his hair looked messy and dry, and his eye sockets were sunken inward. Despite this, he still worked hard to record multiple data, filling up a dozen parchments.
"You see, there were 37 evil tides with a scale exceeding 1,000 yesterday. Comparing the data from the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, and a week and two weeks ago, we can find that the level of disaster has not only not declined, but is also rising slowly and steadily."
"Messages from other oases and large areas can also prove this. The disaster is still continuing and becoming more and more fierce."
The data speaks for itself!
The mercenary leader, who admires data, produced sufficient evidence.
Several others believed it.
"But, since the catastrophe is still getting more intense, why does the Burning Chamber of Commerce's defense of the city... seem to be getting easier and easier?"
"Even if the intensity is the same, you should be getting more and more tired after defending the city for so many days."
This question...
The yet-to-be-named mercenary leader who worships data couldn't answer. Otherwise, why would he be awake all night, with his eyes bloodshot and red, and his whole body as if his soul was about to float out.
He is a Liujue!
But he doesn’t even understand why!
Even Bai Zemeng, who is far away in Star Fortress, doesn’t understand!
He glanced at his city wall, and saw that there were already many places on it with thick cracks, or horrific dents left by the impact of huge objects.
Lots of scars!
Taking advantage of the gap between the large-scale attacks by Weixie, the workers of Xinghui Fortress are seizing the time to repair whatever they can.
Let’s talk about the wall of Burning Fire Mall. Last time, Berezemon could still see some signs of damage, but this time, the majestic wall was like a giant dragon lying on the ground, with its scales flowing with a magnificent luster.
Shining brightly in the sun.
Not to mention which section of the city wall was damaged, Berezemon looked left and right, but he couldn't find even a crack!
Why!
Obviously the city defense construction of Burning Fire Oasis is not as good as theirs;
Obviously, the number of warriors from the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce is far inferior to them;
It was obvious that the Burning Fire Oasis was facing a wave of evil that was far more violent than theirs, but...
Why are they more seriously damaged?
"What exactly went wrong?"
…
…
Whether the catastrophic craze has weakened or not, those teams who tried to travel far out of the oasis and were hit hard in the head are the most certain.
Not weak but strong!
These merchant groups and mercenary groups are all trapped in the Burning Fire Oasis and have been there for more than two months.
Some strong men are worried about the situation in their hometown, and often stand at the gate of the city and look out at the billowing gray fog, motionless like a stone looking back at home. Some strong men who were born in super oasis and are not worried about their own city at all, when they see the Burning Oasis
After the situation gradually stabilized, he simply lay down.
They can't get out, and the Burning Chamber of Commerce doesn't hire them to help defend, so what can they do? They can only eat and drink.
Not to mention, apart from being a little small, this fire oasis has all kinds of facilities. In addition to the most famous catering industry, there are also many entertainment projects that the well-informed and powerful have never heard of.
.
Although, the most important thing here is the training facilities, which are various and quite high-end.
But for these chamber of commerce bosses and mercenary captains, they have basically reached the top in their lives, and it is impossible to exercise. They have practiced hard for decades, just to get to high positions and enjoy themselves.
So, except for a certain mercenary group leader with bloodshot eyes who was still struggling,
The other group leaders were all idle, and the meeting place was changed from a rented residence to a certain chess and card room.
"Yes!"
"I can't afford it!"
"What does a big master mean?"
There was constant sound of artillery fire outside the city, and there was constant sound of music, cheers, and playing cards inside the city. The inside and outside seemed to be two completely unrelated worlds.
But since I have taken some time off, I no longer feel frightened or make things difficult for myself. The faces of the group leaders have become visibly rosy, and even their bodies seem to be fatter... a little plumper.
My little life was very enjoyable.
"It's just that the soldiers of the Burning Chamber of Commerce outside are still struggling to resist the wave of evil. Are we enjoying it a little too much..."
"Hey, what's the matter? When I was soaking in the hot spring yesterday, I also met several elites from the Burning Chamber of Commerce. I have to say that these people are really powerful. After the battle, there is still time to have fun."
"Besides, although we play cards and eat and drink, these are all paid for. In the words of a certain executive of the Ranhuo Chamber of Commerce, we are promoting the economy, and we are also contributing to resisting disasters. I prefer
What I'm worried about instead is whether the food reserves of Ranhuo Mall are sufficient after the city has been closed for more than two months."
"Yes, especially now that Ranhuo Mall has tens of thousands more people."
This is the second worry after the worry about the city being destroyed.
However, these big bosses soon felt at ease. They found that the variety of dishes in the restaurant had not decreased at all, and the prices did not increase with the disaster lockdown.
The price of the food in Ranhuo Mall is very high, but since it did not increase in price during the disaster, it is equivalent to a price reduction. Rounding off, they make a profit.
"Come on, cheers, let's enjoy life!"
The room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
…
…
There were wisps of sadness floating in the hall, some were silent and some sighed. This was the main theme of this moment.
In the northwest corner of the vast and magnificent hall, splendid star trails are spreading rapidly on the smooth floor, outlining a mysterious and magnificent star map.
Within the star map, several majestic shadows were gradually revealed that were vague in shape but lingering with traces of charm.
They stood at several specific locations on the star map, but most of the locations were still empty, with no noble figure appearing.
The figure of the being standing in the main seat at No. 6 gradually became clearer.
He has a handsome appearance, with sharp edges like a knife, surrounded by light blue flowing clouds. He wears a star-shaped crown on his head, holds a scepter with countless black orbs hanging on it, looks towards the northeast, and sighs:
"We deeply regret the death of Ketarei, and would like to spend half a day in memory of His Majesty Ketarei's sacrifice for the Broken Sea."
"The fearless do not need to remember, only the timid do!"
In the northeast corner of the hall, a tall and burly man with flaming hair and a small firebird squatting on his shoulders gave a cold snort.
He is the mythical "Esphorus" of the Red Lotus Empire who advocates burning all enemies with fire!
"You should understand what we need!
"This is not only for us, but also for you!"
"The fall of Cetar under the thunder crown is a sigh of relief. We do not ignore the source of disaster hidden in the depths of the sea of filth, but... we must treat it rationally and cautiously."
In the southeast corner of the hall, a graceful figure walked out of the silvery moonlight pouring down like a waterfall.
Her long hair was as bright as the moonlight, she was wearing a white fur coat, and her hands and fingers were clasped in front of her body. Surrounded by the bright moonlight, the "Mrs. Palace" who looked like a middle-aged beautiful woman was like a fairy.
Like an illusion.
Finally, in the southwest corner, the speaker from Damaran City could only vaguely see the shorter "Neruid" and glanced at the three parties, agreeing.
Outside the palace, the gray waves in the Broken Sea area hit the oasis land one after another.
From the filthy sea water, hideous and ugly monsters climbed out one after another, extending the gray waves until they reached the majestic city wall.
Wow——
Wow——
Wow——
The tide continued and the city walls collapsed.
The gray wave poured into the city full of screams, covering green, blue, white, cyan and other colors, assimilating the sky and the earth into the ultimate gray.
The death of a myth that existed and came from one of the four major human overlord forces not only made people sigh with regret, but also shocked countless forces.
But the impact of the disaster is not just a mythical tragedy.
Xingluowan is crying, Damailuan City is bleeding, Ancient Linbao is half destroyed, and red lotuses are floating on the gray ocean current.
This catastrophe was the worst in three thousand years.
Under the leadership of several myths from the Red Lotus Empire, a meeting covering the four human overlords slowly began.
…
…
The two major disasters overlapped and the Broken Sea was severely affected, but it was not only the Broken Sea that was severely affected.
The small oases disappeared in a moment under the surging gray waves, like candles flickering in the wind. The big oases were not easy either. They had a larger population and had to face more ferocious waves.
Blackstone Alliance.
As a great oasis force that was founded only more than 60 years ago, the Blackstone Alliance has a strong development momentum, which is very eye-catching. However, it is undeniable that the Blackstone Alliance is too young among the great oasis powers.
Being young means weak strength and poor foundation.
A strong person once predicted that if the Blackstone Alliance's first tower master expires, the entire alliance may go downhill. What is unexpected is that when the Blackstone Alliance is swaying in the wind, the first tower master actually continues to serve.
End your life span and live out the second life.
Those with vision have predicted that the Blackstone Alliance will truly rise.
However, at this time, the disaster came. As soon as it appeared, it swept across the entire region and became stronger and stronger. Small oases were destroyed in the wave, and the Blackstone Alliance lost the opportunity to develop.
Nowadays, there are not many forces left paying attention to the Blackstone Alliance, and everyone has too much time to take care of themselves.
Blackstone Alliance especially.
This large oasis is about level 4 or more and less than level 5, and the area bathed in sunlight is only more than half that of the Spark Oasis. This oasis once had a population of hundreds of thousands, and the buildings stood in black.
A simple but sturdy building.
However, at this moment, like buildings with upright black stone pillars, each one was cut off, collapsed, or cracked with countless cracks. The entire west side of the oasis was filled with smoke and clouds, and occasionally low, feeble wails could be heard.
There are warriors in black robes walking among the ruins, rescuing the injured and killing the remaining wandering evil spirits.
Even so, the entire oasis is still filled with sadness and despair.
In the tallest tower located in the center of the city, the seven tower owners simply took their seats.
Some of them were wrapped in gauze, and some looked pale. The first tower master sitting in the main seat showed a lot of health and vitality under his old face a few months ago, but at this time, this old woman looked as if she had not eaten.
She was as old as before the longevity fruit, and her skin, which was as dry as tree bark, was cracked in many places, with some scarlet and wriggling granules showing through it.
The aquiline-nosed tower master sitting in second place also had two scars on his face. His brown hair that should have been neatly combed appeared messy, and there were streaks of eye-catching gray.
Yih Luxi is sitting at the fifth seat.
She was originally the seventh tower master, ranking at the bottom. However, since resisting the disaster during this period, two tower masters have died. Someone else has taken the position of tower master, and she has been promoted to the fifth seat.
However, the girl's originally delicate and flawless face now looked a little gray, and her falling silver hair also looked dry.
Her left arm was tied with bandages one after another. Under the bandages were strange protrusions that were struggling and squirming like living creatures.
"The City of Falling Stars rejected our request for help...ahem."
A hoarse voice came from the mouth of the old woman sitting in the main seat. The few tower masters who originally had some hope suddenly dimmed the light in their eyes.
The second tower owner Bernigan spoke, "How about paying more?"
The old woman still shook her head.
"The reply given by Falling Star City is that their power is limited and they cannot take care of too much."
"What about the Ranhuo Chamber of Commerce? The Ranhuo Chamber of Commerce is also a super power with two mythical figures. We might as well ask for help from the Ranhuo Chamber of Commerce!"
Another tower owner spoke.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was rejected by another person.
"The disaster faced by the Burning Chamber of Commerce is more serious than that of the City of Falling Stars. Moreover, they have too few elites, and it is impossible for all of them to come to support us, no matter what the price we pay."
"Wait a minute, what about Blue Star? If we can invite the strong men of Blue Star to take action."
"This is also impossible. Although Blue Star is not within the scope of the disaster, the situation they face is not necessarily better than us. Moreover, the entire Blue Star world is blocked, and they have no way to step into the mysterious world. Otherwise, with Blue Star
It’s long past time for the power of the stars to develop an oasis in the Catacombs of Fallen Stars.”
The dark tower fell into silence again, and a faint despair spread, just like the ruins outside the tower where the sun could not shine.
The old woman broke the silence.
"We can only rely on ourselves."
Yi Luxi looked out the window.
Drifting clouds blocked the sun, and smoke clouds lingered in her field of vision. She clenched her hands tightly, maybe she had to try to break through the sixth sleep.
Otherwise, given the current situation of the oasis...
…
…
"The situation in our oasis is very bad."
"The pressure comes not only from evil disasters, but also from...that force."
In the Ranhuo Mall, a venue rented for the Chamber of Commerce, Princess Yunji of the Courtyard of Silent Night frowned as she read the artifact letter. She picked up and put down the sword on the table, staring at it with her eyes.
The sharp sword blade remained silent for a long time.
The Court of Quiet Night is far from restored to its former glory, and there are only a few powerful people in the Six Awakenings in the entire oasis.
However, with nearly half of her strength trapped in the Fire Oasis, how could she not worry about her hometown? She also tried to travel through the land of interdimensionality, but no matter how she tried, she failed and was forced to return before she could go far. She saw
Not a shred of hope.
"They all blame me. If I hadn't failed to break through...if I had known earlier, I should have given you the chance."
A middle-aged man with a resolute face, full of self-blame.
He is Yunji's third uncle, and he is also the mythical seed cultivated by the Court of Quiet Nights, the veteran Liujue. Compared with young people like Yunji, who only accumulated a few years of experience during the Liujue period, the third uncle has more hope.
Break the situation.
After failing to transport the treasure back to his hometown, Yunji no longer left the Burning Fire Oasis, but asked his third uncle to come.
She was betting on the reputation of Ranhuo Chamber of Commerce and the safety of the mall.
Her bet succeeded, but also failed.
The pure divine radiance is indeed miraculous. The third uncle's failure to break through did not leave any sequelae, but failure is failure. What is even more worrying is that the three myths are trapped here, and they can only watch the oasis being invaded by the evil wave and worry.
.
Today, the situation in the Court of Silent Night is even more critical.
"I asked the Burning Chamber of Commerce for help. Since they can rescue those victims, maybe they can also..."
"It's impossible. The risk of crossing the land between regions is far greater than that within the larger region."
"The hope may be slim, but if you don't give it a try, how will you know if it works? No matter what the price is, as long as it can help my hometown tide over the difficulties, it will be worth it!"
Looking at Yun Ji who opened the door and walked away quickly, the third uncle opened his mouth and finally let out a self-blaming and dejected sigh.
…
Yun Ji felt that he was very lucky, and he saw the myth of the Burning Chamber of Commerce without much setbacks.
But, huh?
Isn't she the mythical empress? Why is she a blonde...blonde empress?
She was surprised, stunned, and stunned. Many thoughts flashed through her mind. It took a few seconds to recover. She forced herself not to think wildly, and then stated her request.
"...Our Court of Silent Night can pay for a variety of treasures, as long as you can escort us back to the Dusky Ruins."
Xitina was also surprised by the high amount of chips Yun Ji gave.
She was once the heir to the Island of the North Wind, but the price offered by Yunji, the "Little Court of the Quiet Night", was something that even the Island of the North Wind could not afford.
No wonder I spent a lot of money to capture the grand finale.
There must be big secrets in this oasis of the Garden of Quiet Nights. However, Hitina had no desire to discover these secrets at all. She just thought about this request or transaction as a guard.
Then he shook his head.
"At this time, no one knows what will happen when we travel across the land. The risks are too high and I cannot agree to it."
Yun Ji's face turned pale.
Although this result was expected, she still felt like she had lost her soul, losing her last glimmer of hope.
She walked unsteadily towards the door, and the door swayed in her eyes.
Bang--
The rickety door was suddenly pushed open.
A red-haired girl wearing a loose robe and carrying a towel walked in. Her smooth wine-red hair was still vaguely stained with drops of water.
But how come this girl looks... a little bit familiar?
Is it the red-haired empress?!
For a while, Yun Ji couldn't connect the domineering red-haired empress with the down-to-earth girl in front of him who seemed to have just come out of the shower.
She soon ran out of time to think about it, as the words spoken by the empress echoed in her mind.
"I...this empress does have a plan."
"Your Majesty, please give me some advice!"
Eloshi looked at Yunji who was bowing.
Her expression is a bit haggard, but she can vaguely tell that she is a beauty. Of course, she is still a bit inferior to Empress Eloshi, but she is not that bad.
The most important thing is that she seems to be a Liujue and an important figure in a big force in the outside world.
Eloshi spoke, "Are you selling yourself?"
Yun Ji: "???"
Elohi laughed a few times, "My plan is that if you are willing to sell yourself, you can get a chance to redeem your hometown. Not everyone has such an opportunity."
She looked at Yunjia from top to bottom a few more times.
"This opportunity must not be missed. If the time never comes again, you don't want your hometown to be destroyed."
Yun Ji hesitated.
This empress looked very unreliable, but she was a myth after all, so she felt that she would not be unreasonable.
But, after selling yourself, what will you do?
But if we can really save our hometown, it will be worth it!
Hitina was confused for a while before she finally realized, "Could it be..."
"Bingo, is that what it is..."
"But have you asked the director...the president for his opinion?"
"Yes."
Eloxi thought about her mentor in her mind for a while, and soon she received a reply from her mentor.
Also delivered at the same time was a contract document sketched out in front of her.
Documents that have been drawn up.
How fast is the tutor?
She picked up the document and took a look at it. My dear, this girl just wants someone to sell her body. Tutor, you actually want me and the money. I can only say that it is you, tutor, who is the bad guy. You are worthy of being the one!
"Here!"
She patted Yun Ji in front of him and said, "Two choices, one is to sign and the other is not to sign. Girl, this is your last chance."
There are hundreds of characters in the contract document.
Yunji didn't dare to look at the Shinhwa in detail, but she quickly scanned it and found that the contract was not as harsh as she thought. At least, it didn't have those weird selling clauses.uuReading www.uukanshu.

What is mentioned most is work and income.
She really had no choice, so she bit her thumb until it bled and pressed it hard.
Ilohi didn't even have time to say "no need to bleed".
"Now you are one of our own. Next, the great and black-hearted mentor will give you baptism and help you break through the realm of myth. When you are promoted to myth, you can always cross the land of the world by yourself."
Before he had time to think about it, why the red-haired empress made the myth of advancement as commonplace as eating and drinking. Yun Ji only thought it was a 'pure divine radiance' and there was still some 'source water' left.
The Ranhuo Chamber of Commerce is indeed very generous.
According to the contract, she will also pay some treasures and ritual techniques.
Thinking of this, she felt that some secrets could not be hidden, so she simply opened them up to avoid any estrangement in the future.
"We...our predecessor of the Court of Quiet Night is actually the overlord-level force 'Suzuki's Hometown'. However, in order to avoid being pursued by the Jiye camp, we can only escape to the dim ruins and change our names anonymously."
She is worried.
According to the contract, she is already an employee of the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce, but they are still being hunted by the evil god's minions. And the evil god's camp is even more terrifying than this disaster.
If you speak up, you may be left out and excluded in the future, but it is better than hiding it. There are also clauses in the contract that prohibit concealing important secrets.
Yun Ji's heart was beating, and she was worried.
Afterwards, Iloxi tilted her head and said, "That's it? This empress thought it was some big deal. Isn't it just to prevent the evil god's camp from devouring the outside world? We have even killed the evil god's servants many times."
