Looking at Liu Xing and others who were somewhat reluctant, Dior said with a smile: "Talk about money hurts feelings, so the wages paid to you by our Duwang Town Protection Association are definitely not settled in money, but in some of the things we have done."
China brought things that may not be used anymore as rewards, such as a dagger that can cut iron like clay."
As Dio spoke, he took out an unsheathed dagger from his sleeve.
Just looking at this dagger, Liu Xing felt that everyone would think that it was a sword that could cut iron like mud, because this dagger was so sharp, and the cold light it emitted made Liu Xing feel that his eyes could not be straight.
See.
Dio didn't waste any time and directly hung the dagger on the table. Then as soon as he let go of his hand, the dagger pierced the table until the hilt got stuck on the table.
"This short sword was forged by a swordsmith who did not want to be named many years ago. As a result, many secret churches came to snatch it, and he was forced to come to Morio Town to become a fruit wholesaler, and this sword
The dagger has also been kept by him." Dio introduced: "This dagger is an advance payment to you. When the time comes, our Morio Town Protection Association will give you the remaining benefits based on the actual situation."
Liu Xing looked at Dior with some surprise. He did not expect that the Duwang Town Protection Association would offer such a high reward, which was completely beyond Liu Xing's imagination.
Although I haven't used it yet, judging from the current performance of this dagger, its damage bonus must be at least 2d4.
Of course, the most important thing is that the length of this dagger is only about fifty centimeters. It is very convenient to carry, and you don't need to worry too much about being unable to get it out.
However, Liu Xing noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Dior's face.
There's something wrong with this dagger!
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and decided to test Dior, "Mr. Dior, we have been old friends for so many years, so you should tell me the truth. What are the flaws in this dagger?"
If there were no flaws in the dagger, Liu Xing felt that the Duwang Town Protection Association would not be wealthy enough to give the dagger to the three of them. After all, the three of them were just temporary urban managers.
What's more, the members of the Duwang Town Protection Association are basically Chinese. According to what Liu Xing learned from Zhang Jingxu, most of the relevant NPCs in China are using cold weapons and enchantments. Therefore, the Duwang Town Protection Association
There should be quite a few people in the association who can use this dagger.
Although the length of this short sword will cause some disadvantages when facing those mythical creatures with long hands, it will not be ignored.
Looking at the serious Liu Xing, Dior could only sigh and said: "Okay, this dagger does have some problems... Because the material used in this dagger is quite special, so this dagger can only be used in
Only when it falls vertically due to the gravity of the terrain can it achieve the effect of cutting iron like mud. Normally, it is just an ordinary short sword."
Liu Xing and the other three looked at Dior speechlessly. They didn't expect that this dagger was so weird. It could only exert its greatest strength when doing free-falling movements.
So the question is, does this dagger have a chance to exert its full strength in actual combat?
The answer is probably no, because in Liu Xing's memory, he has never encountered an opportunity that allowed him to use the sword technique falling from the sky.
After all, I am not an Assassin who can assassinate in the air...
Therefore, Liu Xing looked at Dio with a bit of disgust and said: "Mr. Dio, your Duwang Town Protection Association is so insincere. Let's talk about it. This dagger has no use at all, because I
You can't let him wait downstairs while fighting with others, and I can go to the roof and throw the dagger down, right?"
Dio said with an embarrassed look: "That's true, but I just said that these things are things that our Morio Town Protection Association can't use for the time being, so we can use them to reward you...
Yes, this short sword needs to meet some stringent conditions if it wants to exert its due strength, but its normal use of energy is much more powerful than most cold weapons of the same type... And we
If you pack enough, I will give you at least four more similar things when the time comes."
Liu Xing nodded and reluctantly agreed with Dior's statement.
It's better than nothing.
At this time, Li Hanxing picked up the dagger, made two gestures, and said, "Yes, this dagger is sharper than the cold weapons I used to use, and it feels pretty good.
.”
Since Li Hanxing had hinted like this, Liu Xing naturally gave the dagger to Li Hanxing to use.
"Okay, let me take the first step now. I have to go to the headquarters of the Morio Town Protection Association to attend a meeting to decide on the future patrol routes and regional leaders. If there are results by then, I will give
You called."
Just when Dio stood up and was about to leave, he suddenly turned back and said: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you one thing, that is, do you know something happened over there in Osaka - the Gate of the Second Dimension?"
The door to the second dimension?
Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen shook their heads in confusion, while Liu Xing, after thinking for a moment, nodded and said: "You are talking about a secret church in Osaka that is trying to win over otakus in the name of the second dimension.
Join the club?"
Dio looked at Liu Xing with some surprise and said, "Oh, is there such a thing? It seems that the secret church should be related to this Second Dimension Gate incident."
Dior came back and sat down again, took out his mobile phone and played a video.
In the video, a young man with a fat body and sloppy steps is on the lawn of a park. There are many people walking their dogs around him. He looks a little out of place among these people, while the person who shot the video is straight.
I thought this person was an otaku, and I was discussing with my friends what this otaku was doing on the lawn of the park instead of staying at home.
At this moment, the otaku suddenly knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to a big tree in front of him, and muttered something. However, the photographer and his friends were both amused by the otaku's actions.
, so the laughter covered the voice of the otaku.
But Liu Xing could still hear two words, "two-dimensional" and "door".
After a while, the otaku stood up, took out a piece of rope from somewhere and hung it on a branch.
Seeing this, the photographer and the surrounding onlookers realized what the otaku wanted to do, so immediately some people wanted to persuade and stop the otaku.
As a result, when he saw someone trying to get closer and stop him, the otaku made a slipknot and quickly hung himself up.
When people around him saw this, they immediately rushed forward. After all, this was a living person.
But just when these people were about to touch the otaku, the rope hanging the otaku seemed to be overwhelmed and broke... However, when the otaku was about to land,
Suddenly a purple vortex appeared on the ground.
Then, the otaku disappeared out of thin air.
Although many people under this video think it is a funny video and the special effects of the video are only worth 50 cents, Liu Xing and others know that all this is really happening.
Of course, Liu Xing knows the most among everyone here.
Therefore, Liu Xing told everything he heard about when he was in Osaka.
"Let me go, is there such a secret church?"
After listening to Liu Xing's story, Li Hanxing said with a bit of laughter: "These emerging secret churches are really keeping pace with the times and have begun to learn how to live their lives. They actually recruit believers in the name of the second dimension. Is it really true?
It’s admiration, admiration.”
Sun Huiwen on the side said thoughtfully: "Actually, this is indeed a good idea, because the current number of otakus in the island country has reached a certain scale, and these people are easy to fool, but the most important thing is
Other secret churches will not come out to grab business, so this is a blue ocean market."
Liu Xing nodded, sighed and said: "Yes, it is obvious that this secret church has made the right bet. They have successfully created a fanatical believer who has done a good job for other believers.
A good example..."
Having said this, Liu Xing paused and shook his head and said: "This is not good news. To put it bluntly, most of the otakus in the island country have certain psychological problems, so this group
The qualities of people in all aspects may not be as good as those of believers in other secret churches, but they are more likely to be transformed into fanatic believers."
Dio also sighed and said: "Yes, during my time in the island country, I have heard that those otakus have caused some big news because of their psychological problems. In terms of the current public opinion atmosphere in the island country,
They also deliberately marginalized these otakus, leading to more and more such incidents, and the emergence of this secret church may make it all more extreme... Why don't Liu Xing go tell the Wu family faction and let them know?
Did they go to the secret church?"
Liu Xing shook his head and said seriously: "Actually, we have thought so too, but this secret church is very cautious, it can even be said that it is overly cautious. So far, no clues have been revealed. If nothing else, the secret has not been found.
The location of the church’s headquarters... But there’s one thing to say. According to our research, the main purpose of this secret church is to create gods, so they probably won’t let their fanatical believers go out and cause trouble.”
"Creating gods?" Dio and the other three said with shocked faces.
Li Hanxing took a sip of water, stared at Liu Xing and said, "Is this secret church so wild? They actually want to create a god themselves?"
Before Liu Xing could speak, Dior touched his chin and said: "Although this success rate is not high, it is not impossible, because there have indeed been several precedents of people believing in gods in the real world, proving that ordinary humans are
There is a chance to rely on a large amount of faith to ascend to the throne and stand shoulder to shoulder with the old rulers and ancient gods... Although it can be said that it can be compared, the strength of this type of artificial gods is still lacking, and they will be compared in all aspects.
The real gods are weaker, and I heard that these artificial gods have basically hid in the dreamland."
Looking at Liu Xing and the other three who were a little confused, Dior continued to explain: "You all should know that the laws in the dreamland are very different from the real world, and those artificial gods are very comfortable in the dreamland, because they come from a certain place.
In this sense, it can be regarded as a collection of consciousness, so they can narrow the gap with the real gods in the dreamland, and nine out of ten artificial gods in history came from the dreamland."
Hearing this, Liu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility.
That is, the old ruler behind Ii Naoraku and others is most likely an artificial god, or an unfinished artificial god... which is the so-called second-dimensional god.
Judging from the current situation, although the person behind Ii Naoraku and others is called the Old Dominator, in the eyes of Liu Xing, a player in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, he is different from the Old Dominator in his own impression.
The person can't match the number, and his behavior is not like that of the Old Ones.
In Liu Xing's impression, although some of the old rulers can only direct behind the scenes due to seals, they will not remain anonymous, and believers will be happy to do things under their banner. Naoraku Ii and others
The "Old Dominator" behind is not like this; then, although those sealed Old Dominators have impaired vision, their abilities are still very terrifying, and they can still easily deal with mythical creatures like Shimada Xiao.
So if they were willing, it would be impossible for Shimada Xiao to get rid of the influence of the "Old Dominator".
Therefore, Liu Xing suddenly felt that the "Old Dominator" standing behind Ii Naoraku and others was probably a half-finished artificial god, so he never dared to stand up and cause trouble openly.
Moreover, this "Old Dominator" may be the so-called God of the Second Dimension, and wants to use these otakus in the island country to complete the final step of his ascension.
The more Liu Xing thought about it, the more likely it became.
"Okay, enough gossip, I'm going to take the first step now." Dio stood up again and said: "But having said that, don't forget to monitor Bai Liang, because the situation is tense now, so Bai Liang and others are
It has been listed as a key target of attention.”
After Dio finished speaking, he left.
After Dior left, Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen started playing PS4 in the living room, while Liu Xing watched the excitement while thinking about whether his idea was reliable.
