"Okay. This is related to whether we can complete the mission and escape unscathed. We must be prepared. Do you need help?"

Gambling Summer: "I want to set up a magic circle outside the city. It can play a supporting role in the event of a battle. You guys can cover me."

The temporary formation cannot be too complicated, but the lack of complexity does not mean that people who have not learned it can understand it. The area of ​​Jijie City is not large, but the perimeter is much longer because of its long and narrow shape. The formation is of course not necessarily

It has to be round, and long and narrow shapes naturally have their own way. It took another hour to set up the formation, and when we arrived at the city gate again, night had completely fallen. A sergeant at the gate looked at the convoy approaching: "You are the weapons dealers here to trade.

Team up, the city lord has invited you." The soldiers automatically moved out of the way.

The members of the regiment were already at war, ready to fight at any moment. The sergeant turned a blind eye and led everyone to the city lord's mansion.

Jiejie City is a very dense city, surrounded by ancient city walls, which also limits its development. Every street corner, every building and every framed view contained in the winding streets illustrates

However, in addition to the density of space, there is also a more intuitive density in Gujie City, which is related to the quality of the soil itself: mineral density. Granite stones are dotted on the excellent landscape, and are used along the

In the man-made city wall, the city itself is a rock in the middle of desolation. Against such a high-density background, any space is given a new value, either becoming a contrast or becoming a dividing line. In this

In this case, the square became a tool to free up the inner space, emphasizing the relationship with the city wall to the outside. The area outside the city wall concealed the hollow space originally used to integrate the space inside and outside the city wall. Over time, these still clear areas were constantly adjusted

It reflects the urban structure. The open space at the corner of the city wall was once a river bed, and later became a livestock market. It was also the place where the new city's main palace was built, allowing a new plan for the adjustment of urban space. A major feature of the site is the large slope and mostly foundations.

Granite makes excavation more difficult. The horizontal elevation of this area is the same as the highest point of the site, so this large internal space can accommodate all necessary functional facilities without excavation. This ensures that the building will not be overwhelmed by its large scale.

The proportions are inconsistent. The multi-level area is adjusted to fit the lowest polyhedral fold of the site. However, the building still sits on a raised platform, establishing a visual relationship with the opposite side. Following the contours of the site, the building combines

Two different geometric designs: the orthogonal linear space contains the auditorium and the main hall, and the most steep and rugged space is the exhibition area. The entrance to the complex is clear and easy to find: the main auditorium can be accessed through the square or from the lounge area

Reached from the upper part of the square, this seating area offers an unobstructed view of the interior spaces. The exhibition area has a separate entrance, located at a cutout in the platform on the eastern dividing line. Since all the different areas are united under the square, it is also possible to access the interior areas via

Arrival. The exhibition halls on these floors have become an extension of the foyer area. All public entrances are concentrated on the square, while the service area is set at the north end, built along the original slope. From the perspective of form and structure,

The project was inspired by the appeal of the landscape and the granite found throughout. Looking around, or looking down from the city wall, the building appears three-dimensional rather than flat, like a sculpture carved out of the terrain. Therefore,

The vertical surfaces of the roof had to be designed to be smooth. The orthogonal rectilinear form of the building was carefully crafted, while the more angular building containing the exhibition area was created by sloping the plaza's base and extending out to meet

It blends into the surrounding landscape. The incisions created by these folds allow natural light to enter the interior and also guarantee independent access to the area. Instead of the usual thin granite used on the surface, thick granite stone is deliberately used.

Entering the central square of the city lord's palace from the gate, unlike the darkness and silence outside the palace, it is brightly lit. In addition to neatly lined up soldiers with turbans and veils, there are also sentries at each entrance and exit, as well as a large number of patrols. The defense is very

The strictness brought pressure to everyone - not from their cultivation, but from their formation.

Lierou waved his hand to stop the group members, and said to the sergeant: "No need to go deep, just trade outside the house."

The sergeant didn't look back and didn't seem to want to pay attention to her, until Ximai also stopped the convoy: "That's what I meant." He Lirou looked at each other and smiled.

The sergeant stopped and said, "It's too dark outside to talk."

"That's not a problem." Qian Shu raised the soul-capturing lamp in his hand, and the light suddenly brightened, and the area of ​​ten meters in radius was as bright as day.

The patrolling soldiers were also attracted by the bright light and surrounded a young officer: "Are you planning to refute the face of this city lord?"

Ximai was unmoved at all: "It was already agreed before the transaction. I only recognize the contact person, and you are obviously not the one."

"Haha, how can people in business be so rigid? They need to be able to handle situations flexibly." "That makes sense. Let's take a step back. You pay three times the price, and I'll just pretend.

You are the contact person. For such a big city, you can still make it three times, right?"

The city lord's face was livid, "What a lion. Okay, three times is three times." He winked at the sergeant, and the sergeant gave the order: "Come here, bring up the gold bars, three big boxes!"

Six soldiers carried three large boxes, and Ximai directed his followers to check the quality and weight of the gold bars. Then other soldiers began to unload the goods. Everything seemed to go smoothly, and the imagined conflict did not occur.

After counting the gold, there was nothing fishy. Ximai's face improved a lot: "Your Majesty, the city lord is happy, then we will leave."

"Would you like to stay for a meal?" As expected, countless soldiers appeared in the streets and alleys, surrounding everyone.

"Exactly, I can't bear to be vulgar." The gold had already been loaded onto the car, and Ximai got into the car on his own: "Get out of the city!"

"Kill!" Needless to say, the adventure group began to deal with the arrogant soldiers.

Gambling waved a lamp and drew a ?-shaped rune in the void: "Capture Hun Formation, open!" A dazzling red light appeared out of thin air on the ground, and the soldiers' figures became erratic and unstable.

"Lock Barrier!" Blind Ying summoned a barrier to block the soldiers.

"Blind Ying!" Chang Ou stretched out his hand to take the spear handed over by Blind Ying and inserted it into the ground. Then Ao watched with wide eyes as Chang Ou opened his bloody mouth without any warning - big enough to kill him.

The size of the head swallowed in one gulp - inhaled sharply. Bang bang bang bang! The soldiers were involuntarily sucked over and bumped against the barrier. After taking a full breath, Chang Ou blew hard again, just like that, the large group of soldiers were blown away.

The soldiers were blown away.

"Remove!" came Lirou's voice. Astonished, Ao was pulled into the car by Shangying and drove off with the group members.

After leaving Jiejie City, Ao finally couldn't help but ask: "What kind of operation is this?"

"Basic operations." Youluo glanced at him and explained, "The Captive Hun Formation can make objects within the range lighter, and Chang Ou has a trick called Breathing Storm. Use the two together to control a large number of low-cultivation fish.

It can be blown away directly without fighting. Of course, Chang Ou himself will also become lighter, so he needs a blind spear to fix it."

"Look ahead!" The rough weasel interrupted. It turned out that there was a burst of smoke and dust ahead, and a group of masked soldiers came.

"Their reinforcements? So soon?"

"It can't be so fast. It should be a routine transfer. They probably don't know that we have turned our backs yet." Lierou analyzed.

Sure enough, a scout rushed over on horseback and shouted: "Who dares to stop the great Aimu Jihadi Army! Get back quickly!"

Before Lierou could speak, Ximai scolded: "Is this how a jihadist treats his friends? On behalf of Boss Lei, I express my disappointment to you. Let your officers speak out!"

At this time, the scout also noticed that the people present were very powerful and not ordinary businessmen. "Then I will go back and report, so don't act rashly!"

After a while, the legion stopped, and an officer rode up on horseback. He shouted from a distance: "Sorry, it turns out to be Boss Lei's man. I'm disrespectful." He came closer and said, "I am the commander of the Aimu Jihad Legion.

Jianshan. We are grateful to Boss Lei for his continued support to our Jihad Army."

As soon as the employer opened his mouth, of course it was not Lierou's turn to speak. "We are here to make a deal with you this time, but this cooperation is very unpleasant. The guards in Gujie City are very rude to us, Captain Jian

Can you explain it?"

"To tell you the truth, we are also very surprised. None of the heralds sent to Jiejie City have returned during this period. We suspect that something has happened. I am actually here to confirm the situation. If they dare to betray the great division commander, I and I

My warriors will make their life worse than death!" "So that's it. But unfortunately, I have made a deal with them. Although my warriors severely taught them a lesson for their disrespectful behavior, they still got the latest reward after all.

Weapons and equipment. Commander Jian, please take care of yourself. I will truthfully report these situations to Mr. Lei."

After some negotiation, a fight was finally avoided, and the convoy continued its return.

The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. If there is a strong wind in the desert, it is not as poetic as Yun Feiyang. "It's a sandstorm. Pay attention to protection!" Faced with the wrath of nature, Ximai, who has always been calm, also became nervous. The strong wind blew up large pieces.

The dunes of sand rose up and were thrown in all directions. "Everyone, put on your masks quickly!" The previous hoods would expose the mouth and nose, but this time the mask is mainly used to prevent sand, covering almost the entire face, leaving only

Breathable edges.

"This Haimai usually doesn't care about us, but he is still very reliable at critical moments." Oshiro put on the mask silently. It seemed that the mask had not been cleaned for a long time and had a strange smell, but now he couldn't care so much. The wind and sand roared, and the visibility was reduced.

You must stay low and be careful of quicksand traps to avoid being buried. The dangers of the desert are now fully exposed.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a few minutes. The wind and sand gradually subsided, and everyone got up to clean the sand one after another. "Lirou, you?" Longying's voice came, and she carefully took off Lierou's mask, "Ah, what's going on?

Something!" Under the mask, Lierou's face was pale and twisted, looking very painful.

"Sister Lierou!" Upon seeing this, the group members all came forward to check.

Gambling stretched out his hand to touch Lierou's cheek, "The body temperature dropped sharply. Does it look like poisoning?"

"Is there any way?" A Lao always remembered Lierou's kindness to him, and he was particularly worried at this time.

"Many poisonings have similar symptoms. If I don't know what kind of poison it is, I can't do anything. Wait!" Gambling suddenly thought of something and picked up the mask to smell it. "This doesn't look like a normal one. It hasn't been washed for a long time."

The smell of accumulated sweat and putrefaction... rather like?"

"Ah!!! Lirou, she!" Shangying exclaimed, and she saw fine hair growing all over Lierou's body, her abdomen was enlarged, a pair of comb-toothed antennae protruded from the top of her head, and a pair of broad dead leaves grew out of her back.

Scale wings. "This is..."

"The dead leaf moth tribe." Gambling said in a deep voice, "I understand everything. Lierou is not a human being, she is a monster transformed into a human body by the dead leaf moth of the Zerg tribe. And the smell on this mask, if I guessed correctly,

"Gan Shu took out a small bottle with some small flying insects in it. Gambling opened the tampon and let some flying insects fly to the mask. As soon as he got close to the mask, the flying insects fell down and stopped. "These fruits

The fly will die as soon as it gets close to this mask, and it is true." Gambling stood up and stared at Ximai, "Miss Ximai, could you please explain what is the pesticide on this mask?"

"Is there something wrong with the anti-mosquito? How did I know that there is actually a Zerg lurking in your group?"

"The Zerg and the Zerg are the internal affairs of our regiment." The thick weasel raised his sword and stood in front of Qi Xia, "It's just that your explanation is really far-fetched. It doesn't exist anywhere else, but here it is only used once in a while.

Insecticide was used on the sand mask, and the injured Lierou happened to be the person who brought the mission back this time. Isn't it a coincidence?"

There was a tense situation here, while Youluo quietly picked up Lierou's insect body and moved it to the far side.

"Okay, okay." Ximai lifted up a strand of hair, "I admit that I did it on purpose. This is the 110303 insecticide purchased from the Pharmacists Guild. Even if there is no sandstorm, I will find an excuse.

Let her wear it. But so what? I helped you catch an undercover pest, you should thank me, right?"

"Humph, I still want to excuse myself." Blind Ying raised his gun and pointed at Ximai, "Sister Lierou has indeed joined the group not long ago, but not to mention that Captain Bei will never make mistakes. Her personality and talents are all recognized by us.

, is a reliable partner. Even if it’s a Zerg, it’s her personal little secret, who doesn’t have some privacy?”

A'ao also said angrily: "Sister Lirou is so kind, even if she is a Zerg, you are not allowed to call her a pest! Please tell me how to detoxify her!"

"I'm afraid there is no cure." Qian Shu interrupted, "I also know something about 110303. It is a powerful pesticide specially developed by the Pharmacists Guild. It is expensive. It is not for ordinary farmland, but for

It is used in precious medicinal fields that cannot withstand the damage caused by borers. Because it is harmless to humans, no antidote has been developed. As for using it to deal with insect monsters, this is probably the first case."

"Haha, the little girl is right." Ximai sneered, "The pest is definitely dead, and now it is just relying on the demon power to hold on. I suggest you know what is good and what is good, abandon the darkness and turn to the light. I won't lie to you, Lierou is indeed a

It’s true that she is undercover, but she is not the undercover of your little adventure group, but the undercover of the entire human race! She is actually one of the agents of the Zerg that interferes within the human race, provokes disputes, and prevents the unified plan of the human race! Join

Your little adventure group is just used to cover up the true purpose of the Zerg's secret operations in the form of some tasks. Sooner or later, our Mandarin Army Corps will eliminate these alien interfering forces and unify the human race!"

"You don't need to say these righteous nonsense." Ruo Weasel drew his sword, "The fact is that you unilaterally designed to frame our members, and the trust relationship has been broken. Do you still expect this commissioned mission to continue normally?"

"Haha, it seems that you are planning to rebel together and bully me, a weak woman?"
To be continued...
