"It seems to be more lively here?" Hero returned to the assembly point and found that the place had changed a lot.
Byrne shrugged and mingled with the other teams. He had already understood some of the information clearly and said as usual:
"Because three newly polluted towns were discovered in the east. The three towns were independent of each other but scattered together. They couldn't be conquered by the previous apprentice teams alone, so someone passed the news back and brought a big wave of idleness.
's apprentice."
The premise is free.
Hero raised his eyes and saw that the area of the assembly point had not only become larger, but also two new target points had been built, and there were still a large number of apprentices emerging from the target points.
"You see, when they have enough interest, they can even spend a lot of money to buy a new [door]."
"Who built it?"
"Who knows, maybe it is a tower, or it may be an organization. Anyway, with this method, we will definitely earn more than expected returns."
Hero saw the soul coins flashing in the blue light.
It is also because there are not many high-value tasks issued in the tower now.
Many apprentices have reached the point where they can reach the level of magician.
Although it is not possible for thousands of troops to walk on a single-plank bridge, everyone needs to be responsible for themselves.
I have heard about what has happened over the years before.
Most of the high-level magicians and organizations in the tower no longer have apprentices who can be used for 'consumption'.
All forces are waiting...
The replenishment of fresh blood and the replenishment of consumables.
Failure equals death.
"But... so many towns in the snowfield are polluted? Can so many apprentices be exchanged for resources?"
Holo was not only curious about the expansion of the scope of pollution, but also curious about whether there were really so many polluted degenerates in this desolate snowfield?
It was obvious that I had walked for several hours without seeing a single town.
"Yes, but because it is too vast, the town is sparsely divided, and the snowfields are so scattered that it is impossible to find it. This is the reason why we did not find it before. After all, the city is too abrupt.
And... although everyone is here for the reward, they are all sober."
Byrne pointed in a direction. There were very few people there, and that was also the direction of the city.
He went on to explain:
"Everyone is very smart. Looking at the current situation... we find that the scope of the spread is getting wider and wider. They are all thinking about exploring the periphery instead of going to the center. It seems..."
"It doesn't look like natural diffusion." Hero stood on a snow bag and stared at the busy apprentice.
After they finished supplying, they continued to advance deeper into the snowfield with smiles on their faces. Every returning team also showed a satisfied expression.
If this is the case for everyone, it is abnormal.
Hero didn't think about the worse outcome, because he knew that greed would slowly erode everyone.
It seems that this thought has been rooted in his mind since the city appeared.
"Yeah, more like man-made."
"They don't care about the lives of civilians in the empire, right?"
Hero muttered, and he suddenly understood what the old apprentice did, except that he changed those 'fertilizers' into apprentices.
Everyone wants to use enough to accumulate, but he wants to achieve it in one step.
But there is essentially no difference.
"There's no way. The apprentices can't do the daily task of making money. Even if they do, it's next to the restricted area. No apprentice, including us, might be able to handle it.
However, I don’t know what the tower is thinking about such a large-scale task. There is no limit on the number of apprentices, and even magicians are involved. They are only dealing with minor pollutants, so there is such a big fuss. There is no news yet.
What’s the reward for the tower?”
"Isn't it just some performance points, commonly used resources, and fake Horcruxes to reward people? They won't be that generous."
"Too."
"Then let's go back now?"
"Don't you want to follow along and do some tasks?"
"These rewards... are such a waste of time. I don't lack the usual resources now, but I lack the accumulation of meditation."
"You are wrong. This time is an opportunity, an opportunity for everyone."
"What do you mean?" Byrne didn't understand what Holo said.
"They use civilians as a stepping stone to advance, why don't we use them as a stepping stone to accumulation?"
Byrne shuddered, he didn't expect Hero to be so bold.
"But this is against the creed of the tower! If discovered, you will be judged!"
"As long as they don't discover it, it will be fine. There are already a lot of apprentices who died in the snowfield."
Byrne looked at Hero in surprise.
He has not experienced the methods of the old apprentice, nor has he seen dozens of apprentices die easily under the chef's knife.
The purpose of coming here is just to fulfill Hero's promise.
Holo explained as best he could: "I let you hang around on the periphery before and didn't look deeply, so you could only touch the surface. Do you know how many people died behind this smile?"
He pointed to the apprentices who had returned satisfied.
He doesn't pity the common people, he just thinks the world is ridiculous.
Obviously, magicians no longer need to compete with civilians for resources. What the two need is not at the same level.
But if they find it valuable to civilians, they will try it out without hesitation.
Just like those porcelain figures, they were spliced together after death, possessing a serious and sad beauty.
But that was a gift given to them by the coldness of the snowfield for their hard work, and it was their destination.
It's just being taken advantage of.
Byrne licked his chapped lips: "I know, I believe you, I think... I may know what the tower is thinking!"
"What?"
"The Windy City has a special festival every year, which we call Amber Wind Day. When this day comes, crystal clear spores as big as heads will float in the wind valley outside the city. They are as golden and beautiful as amber, but only civilians can
Only your body can bind them together and prevent them from dissipating under the scorching sun."
Hero suddenly became curious.
This is very similar to what the chef said. Among the residents of Teacup Town, only those with pure souls can control porcelain clay.
But when magicians generally come into contact with knowledge, most of it will be contaminated by other things.
More or less, there will be an existence that is different from the essence of the soul.
"so what?"
"The spores can help us cultivate soul beasts, and can also soothe the soul and improve meditation, but do you know what my father said?"
Holo seemed to have guessed something.
"Civilians only exist because of your blessing? Are they useful?"
Byrne neither shook his head to deny nor nodded:
"The main city has opened up a piece of land for civilians to live. They are only needed on that day, because in the process of binding spores to capture them, if they get close to the spores, they will inhale a large amount of dust and die.
If the tower needs a large number of apprentices to clean up the pollution..."
Hero instantly understood Byrne's thoughts.
"So they must need something from the snowfield?"
"Did you find anything they missed that was related to pollution?"
Hero thought carefully.
"The higher-ups in the tower took away the relic...what else do they want? The lord just said they wanted this."
Byrne was also thinking about it.
"Relics..."
"Do you know the status of the relics?"
"I don't know. The old man only told us that the relics are very precious, and..."
The two suddenly raised their heads at the same time, looked at each other and said in unison:
"They don't know how to use the relics!"
"No, there should be a condition for it to be activated, and that condition was left on the snowfield!"
Hero paced back and forth thoughtfully.
"No wonder [The Nest] was very reluctant at the time, but still gave it to them. No wonder the lord asked for the relic at the time, but still gave it to them! They all know that there is no condition to activate it, and they cannot use the relic! Even if it is a high tower!"
"Think about it! Can we get involved?" Byrne rubbed his little hands, this is a big deal.
The apprentices gathered quietly in the ground, all the apprentices from the thirteen towers!
what does that mean?
The top brass of the Thirteen Towers all knew the news.
And acquiesced!
No matter who gets it, they can trade it!
This is no secret.
This is the news released by the tower itself, but only a smart person who knows the inside story can know the secret.
Maybe you can even get a position.
"Don't worry, let me think about it again!"
"I won't quarrel with you. It depends on today to achieve a breakthrough in rank!"
