The tip of the pen scraped across the paper, making a swishing sound. Liz, who was reviewing the documents, was like a reviewing machine incarnate with Mo De's emotions, with an expression as if she knew nothing and could not see anything.
"We haven't seen each other for more than two months, and you have arranged a little secretary for yourself?"
He opened his mouth to Sias who threw a piece of dried fruit into his mouth. This guy seemed as natural as if he were at home. After all, he was thick-skinned.
"Bai Ye, why are you looking for me this time?"
Sias started to pretend to be confused, and so did Wood beside him.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't answer, and for a while, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. It's worth mentioning that Bubu Wang, Eminem, and Baha seemed to have expected this to happen, so they ran away in advance.
"Don't be so nervous, Wood. This is your fault. Bai Ye has been looking for the location of Dead City, but you are hiding in the dark. Is this really okay?"
Sias looked at Wood with slight disgust and disdain. Wood didn't say anything, but what he said in his heart was, in terms of shamelessness, I am inferior to you.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm different from you. I hide in the dark to look for opportunities. I even asked my daughter to assist Bai Ye before. If you don't believe me, ask him."
"..."
Available!
Su Xiao didn't say anything, she was already used to Sias' behavior.
"You are so shameless."
Wood couldn't help but speak out.
"Fart! This is called a plan."
Sias was still calm, and those who didn't know thought that he had made a great contribution in finding the City of Death.
"The past is not important. Let's change the story. We will discuss it after discussing it."
Sias changed the topic, he put away his half-joking tone, and his expression gradually became serious. He first turned his head and looked at Wood. After making eye contact, they both looked directly at Su Xiao. Sias said:
"Bai Ye, this time, one of us was sent by our elders, and the other is here to represent the interests of the ethnic group. You must already know the purpose of our coming. There is news that a black tree has appeared in the city of Origin Dead Silence.
maple."
Speaking of this, Sias paused, tapped his fingers on the table twice, and continued: "Now, not only the Destruction Star and the Devil Clan, but also the Arcane Eternal Star, the Feather Clan, and the Night Bewilderment Witch Guild all have factions.
There is no need to explain the purpose of people coming."
At this point, Sias said with a strange expression: "I have read all the information on this matter, but I feel that this matter... is a bit familiar, no, not a bit, it is very familiar.
smell."
Sias touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
"In the tree world, this is how we lure people to die in Bay City to help us share the risk."
Wood revealed the mystery in one word, and Sias patted the table casually and said: "Yes, it's the same method, but this time it's more thorough. Bai Ye, this matter... couldn't have been planned by you, right? I remember, you
The arm guards I always wear come from the City of Death."
"..."
Su Xiao twisted the [Holy Splitter] in her hand and was studying this wonderful thing. She seemed not to have listened to what Wood and Sias said at all.
Frankly admit everything? Of course not. One of Wood and Sias is here on behalf of the devil clan, and the other is here under the orders of their elders. If they admit it now, they will definitely not be able to get off the stage. What will they do next? Enter this world.
All the resources were consumed, and when the result came, I learned that this was a trap set up by a 'good teammate'. What should I do about the loss? How should I explain it to my clan members or elders?
But if it is completely concealed, it will be impossible to cooperate in the future. When working with these two 'good teammates', you can scheme against each other during the period, and eventually fight due to uneven sharing of spoils, but at the beginning of the cooperation, you must not conceal key information.
Therefore, Su Xiao wanted to let Wood and Sias know in their hearts that this was the situation he had set up, while not directly saying that this was his plan, just like the situation set up by the three people in Bay City.
Su Xiao took off the Black King's armguard and put it on the table with a bang. Seeing this, Sinyas took it and inspected it for a moment. He only felt the characteristics of death on it, but it was different from the city of death.
, there is no such direct connection.
This is the world of darkness and the origin of the Dead City. It is not difficult to sense whether an item is related to the Dead City, especially for ancient gods like Sias.
After discovering this, Sias looked suspicious. He handed the arm guard to Wood. Wood looked at it for a moment, his eyes narrowed, and he seemed to be a little confused.
It is of course impossible to use the Black King's Armguard to spy on the cause and effect between Su Xiao and the source of Dead Silence City. The Black King's Armguard is at best a link. What really makes this cause and effect appear is Su Xiao's repeated use of Dead Silence.
Before, even if you entered the branch of Dead Silence City, you had to carry the [Shelter Stone] with you to avoid being invaded by Death Silence while slowly consuming the [Shelter Stone].
The ability "Dead Silence Comes" possessed by the Black King Armguard is basically to drag part of the environment of the Dead Silence City over and invade the enemy with the Death Silence energy.
In other words, if you enter the source of Dead Silence City without the [Shelter Stone], there is no difference from entering the realm of "Death Silence Advents".
"Dead Silence is Falling (Set Ultimate Ability·Active): After turning on this ability, the surrounding 600 meters will be assimilated by the Dead Silence City at a high speed, causing erosion damage of 5% to 23% of the maximum health value per second. If the enemy unit is enveloped by Dead Silence,
If you move within the range, the erosion damage and erosion speed you receive will be greatly increased (the erosion damage and erosion speed will be increased by 2 to 6 times, depending on the enemy's physical attributes and movement speed)."
At the moment, Wood and Sias are only aware of the Black King's Armguards, and of course they can't see any clues about it.
"Is it possible that you were also attracted by intelligence?"
There was still some doubt in Sias's eyes.
"yes."
Su Xiao took out a photo, which was exactly the one he took. Many dead people seemed to be holding black tree species in the air. However, this photo was not a replica, but the original photo.
With the original photo, the implication is already very obvious, except for the fact that the photo that best proves the origin, the black maple tree in Dead Silence City, was created by Su Xiao himself.
Sinyas pretended to take the photo, but Su Xiao raised her hand and gave the photo to Wood. The reason was that the planet where Sinyas was located was not famous for its technology, while the void where Wood was located had extremely advanced technology.
Based on Wood's knowledge, there is a high probability that the difference in this photo can be seen at a glance.
After Wood took the photo, as soon as he took it, he paused for a moment and said inadvertently: "Bai Ye still had a way to get the first edition of the photo."
After hearing this, Sias understood everything. His smile was a little strange at this time, as if his whole person was not well.
"I personally feel that this black maple tree in Dead Silence City is not very reliable."
Wood seemed to sigh quietly as he spoke.
"Don't worry about whether it's reliable or not. It's here now. If we don't get some good things in Dead Silence City, we will suffer a big loss. But I heard that Dead Silence City has many secret treasures from the age of gods."
What Si Yas said was actually revealing that he already knew that the black maple tree in Dead Silence City was fabricated by Su Xiao, but now that it was here, Su Xiao did not hide the false information about the black maple tree.
Under the premise, of course they must join forces to make a fortune in the Dead City.
Wood's idea is that now that the matter has come to this, it is meaningless to pursue the losses caused by being deceived. Even if he pursues the case, what can he do? Fight with Su Xiao? Then what? What is the gain from this? It is better to find a way to survive in death silence.
Making a fortune from the city and then dividing the spoils back to the clan is the only way to bring practical benefits to the elders and juniors in the clan.
As for the final uneven distribution of the spoils, this will have to wait until the plan is successful.
Caesar, who was sitting aside, never spoke. This guy was very cunning. He was also one of the organizers of the "Fake Black Maple Tree Incident", but he pretended that nothing happened.
Now that the foundation for cooperation has been laid, the next step is to focus.
"Baha."
As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, Baha suddenly appeared, landed on his shoulder, and said: "This is what happened. You should all know about the Wadi family incident. Is there any inside information that I need to introduce?"
"Need not."
"I know all the important information."
Wood and Sias both expressed their opinions. Seeing this, Baha nodded and continued:
"After the old monster died, the situation in the High Wall City became partially clear. Now if we want to find the entrance to the Dead City, we must meet two points. 1. Get the exact location of the entrance from the academic party, and 2. Find out how to enter.
The second point has been prepared. The goddess is upstairs. If you have time later, go and ask her how to enter and open the entrance to the City of Silence."
After listening to Baha's brief narration, both Wood and Sias knew the current problem. They only needed to deal with the academic sect and then focus on the source, the City of Death.
"Give me...two days."
Sias suddenly spoke, originally planning to discuss a plan to bring Stigma Academy to the Stigmata Academy. Su Xiao and Wood, who were wearing masks of pain, were both surprised.
"What kind of assistance do you need?"
Su Xiao looked at Si Yasi suspiciously, not really guessing what this guy's plan was.
"No assistance is needed, you are waiting for my good news..."
Halfway through Sias's words, a shout came.
"Where is the goddess!!"
A somewhat sharp, more angry voice came and turned.
Boom!
The window of the office was shattered, and glass shards were scattered everywhere. A girl with a single ponytail and a sharp temperament... No, it should be a young man who jumped in and landed in a half-crouching position. This young man has the same appearance as Liz.
A fight.
This person was one of the goddess's guards. He agreed to wait for the goddess at the tea party to complete the handover of the guards. Unfortunately, he waited for a long time but did not see the goddess. Later, he learned that the goddess had been kidnapped by the treatment center.
Under the support of several instructors from Stigmata Academy, this young man, Zekaya, came to rescue the goddess.
Zekaya came to rescue the goddess, so he naturally had something to rely on. According to his companion's lock, the goddess was nearby, so they split up. He deliberately attacked Kuculin Baiye's office and held him back.
At the same time, his companions will take the opportunity to rescue the goddess, perfect!
Although Zekaya thinks he is no match for the deputy director of the treatment home, there is still no problem in holding him back for a while.
In the office, Zekaya stood up and looked directly at Su Xiao. As the saying goes, plans do not change quickly. Zekaya wanted to know who the other three people sitting around the desk were at this time.
Zekaya's senses were fully opened, and the next moment, he saw an unforgettable sight. Opposite him, a huge skull that was dark but burning with green flames smiled at it. It felt like it was about to kill him.
The soul is pulled out and sinks into the darkness and claustrophobia of never-ending darkness.
And on the side, there seems to be a humanoid tentacle monster, that kind of weirdness and darkness coming from the depths of the soul. Just looking at it makes people seem to be corroded on the spiritual level. It seems that the next second, he will be directly affected by it.
After ignoring this existence, a large number of black tentacles erupted from his body, and finally his sanity evaporated while wailing.
Further back, there seemed to be a huge blood beast half hidden in the darkness. It seemed cold and grinning. Zekaya had a feeling that this was the most dangerous thing.
On the far right, there is turbid yellow and deep black intertwined together. Half of this existence does not feel threatening to people, but the other half makes people tremble physically and mentally.
With a grunt, Zekaya swallowed his saliva. What he was thinking at the moment was that he had agreed to fight in a one-on-one fight.
After a while.
"Woo! Woo!!"
Zekaya was tightly bound by the black tentacles growing out of his back. He was twisting on the ground like a caterpillar with angry eyes.
The space fluctuations disappeared in a flash, and Su Xiao appeared. He had just gone to the fourth floor. The attacking Zekaya was just a smoke bomb, and there were others to rescue the goddess.
With a plop, Su Xiao threw a masked woman tied by a broken line on the floor.
Black smoke rushed into the window, and the next second, Wood appeared, also holding a restrained masked woman in his hand. Judging from the body shape, the two masked women were very similar, maybe they were twin sisters.
After a while, Ms. Marina knocked on the door and came in with a famous man on her shoulders. He was the driver and bodyguard who drove the goddess before.
As the saying goes, a family is neat and tidy, and the goddess is in a similar situation now. Her four guards were neatly caught.
"Whose person is this from, so stunned?"
Sias laughed, not because he was laughing, but because this so-called rescue plan was really confusing.
The four captured people were all taken to the dungeon on the third floor of the treatment center. The dungeon happened to be empty recently, and now a new group of residents have been welcomed.
Regarding the current situation, Su Xiao had a general understanding of the attitude of the Holy Maiden's lineage. It seemed that they were sending people to rescue, but in fact they sent three fools, plus one who deliberately killed someone.
It can be seen that the attitude of the saint's lineage is that they neither want to offend the treatment center nor provoke the academy. As long as they ensure that the goddess is fine, everything else is easy to talk about. However, if the goddess suddenly becomes determined, she will not say anything.
To open the entrance to Deadly Silence City, Su Xiao's side took some measures, while the saint's lineage was willing to pretend to be blind, but they must not kill people.
People from the logistics department arrived quickly, and as the middle-aged man with retrospective ability repaired the building, in the afternoon, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
Sias and Wood left at noon, and it was not clear what Wood was going to do. However, Sias would take the matter of dealing with the academy entirely on him this time, which made both Su Xiao and Wood feel uncertain.
It's not that I think Sinyas can't deal with the academics, but I'm worried that Sinyas has other plans to implement.
In the afternoon of that day, Su Xiao received news from Bubuwang that Sias had left the city and his whereabouts were unknown.
This makes people even more confused. When dealing with the academic faction, even if they don't directly compete with them, they shouldn't leave the city.
Considering that Sias has been doing things like this, we can only wait and see for two days. If it really doesn't work, we will adopt the siege tactics of Lao Yinbi. Everyone on our side will end up. We will engage in Stigma Academy from multiple angles and arrange this side to
Until you doubt your life.
After thinking about this, Su Xiao took Bubu Wang and Baha upstairs. When they reached the corridor on the fourth floor, he saw Hugh Si guarding a metal door.
After opening the door, the goddess standing in front of the window thinking about life came into view. Su Xiao took off her long leather jacket and threw it to Baha. Then she rolled up the cuffs of her shirt and took out a leather roll bag. After unfolding it, there were dozens of pieces inside.
A centimeter-long crystal needle, this thing is called the "thorn of mercy".
"You are a goddess, and torturing you is not in line with our decency. If you can hold on to 5 sticks, I will let you go later."
Su Xiao pointed to the bed and motioned for the goddess to lie down on it, so as not to be caught and lose the elegance and dignity of the goddess.
When the goddess saw such a battle, her legs immediately felt weak, as if the soles of her feet were made of cotton. If she faced severe torture, for the sake of her identity, she could really grit her teeth and resist, but when faced with this kind of tone, her tone was calm, and even
It was as natural as calling her to eat, but it made her feel cold all over her body.
"You, what do you want to ask? You asked me, but I also...I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything."
When the goddess said this, her tone was very aggrieved. She was deliberately pretending to be pitiful. Baha had asked how to open the entrance to Dead Silence City many times before, but she kept pretending to be stupid.
"Then let's talk while eating."
Su Xiao put away the roll, pushed the door open, and the dining car was pushed in. After a while, several delicacies were placed in front of the goddess. From the day she was tied up yesterday to now, the goddess has only eaten two pieces of bread. At this time, she has already eaten two pieces of bread.
I'm hungry.
The chef apprentice who delivered the meal made a move to pour a glass. Su Xiao raised his hand to stop him and took the bottle. He and the goddess sat across the small table, placed the wine glass on the table, and poured a glass of red wine.
"Tell me how to open the entrance to the Dead City."
Su Xiao pushed the wine glass to the goddess's plate. After the goddess picked it up, she took a sip and said, "Only I can open it."
"..."
Su Xiao stopped talking. Seeing this, the goddess quickly added: "To be precise, it is the thing in my body that can open the entrance. You just need to take me there."
"What's inside you?"
Su Xiao became interested. If the thing in the goddess's body can really open the entrance to the Dead City, then will this thing resonate with the thing at the entrance? If there is resonance, there is no need to go to the School of Science to directly find the Dead City.
Entrance.
"It is my heart. Only my heart that is still beating can open the sealed door. It was originally sealed by the academy. They know the location. As a restriction, we have the method to open it."
The goddess did not choose to continue to conceal it, but revealed everything. According to what she said, the method of opening the door was actually not very mysterious. It was to use the resonance of blood. The original saint used all her secondary divine blood as a lock to seal the door.
Only those who resonate with her bloodline can temporarily open this lock.
As for the sanctuary key that Su Xiao obtained before, it was not used to open this door, but to open an important place inside the Dead City.
When the City of Death was sealed, the Healing Church played a leading role, so after that, the four departments under the Healing Church, the workshop, the saint's lineage, the Stigma Academy, and the treatment center, each mastered a key item, or
Secret method.
The workshop originally mastered the secret method of making the Shelter Stone. However, the conflict between the Healing Church and the Steam God Cult resulted in heavy casualties in the workshop. Not only the craftsmen who could make the Shelter Stone died, but this was recorded.
The ancient books on the secret method were also destroyed, which also resulted in one less shield stone being used, and no one could recreate it.
In the introduction to the world, Su Xiao learned about this melee. Due to this melee, the population of High Wall City was reduced by one-third, which shows how tragic it was at the beginning.
Since the workshop could not produce the Shelter Stone, its status within the Healing Church had plummeted, and there were even calls for the workshop to be merged into Stigmata Academy.
The subsequent development of the workshop was life-threatening, and it began to develop in the direction of building weapons, defenses, mechanical equipment, etc., and now it has become one of the three big fathers of the Healing Church, and no one can shake it.
Needless to say, the Stigmata Academy, also known as the Academy, was the original entrance to the Dead City. Under their leadership, they captured the first-generation saint who was trying to pursue immortality and sealed it with all her secondary divine blood.
Sealing the entrance to the Deadly Silent City will undoubtedly make the tradition of the "chosen one" completely obsolete. The entrance to the Deadly Silent City is sealed. Even if the "chosen one" is selected, he will not be able to enter the Deadly Silent City.
Needless to say about the saint's lineage, only the direct bloodline of the first-generation saint can unlock the shackles transformed by the secondary divine blood.
The last treatment center has the key to the sanctuary. It was lost not long ago and is now recovered. In terms of importance, even if the secret method of the shelter stone, the location of the sealed door, and the method of opening the door are added together, its importance is still
It's not worth one percent of the key to the sanctuary.
Why is this so? More than 80% of the chosen ones in the past generations are from the treatment center. When they go deep into the City of Silence, they must bring the key to the sanctuary. Even if the chosen person is defeated in the end, the treatment center must retrieve the key at any cost.
The most tragic incident was when the treatment center died until only the dean was left. After the dean took the key from the Silent City, he died without even leaving a last word.
After the goddess finished her lunch, Su Xiao left with peace of mind and ordered that she no longer needed to guard the goddess. As long as she did not leave the courtyard of the treatment center, she could go anywhere.
That afternoon, the goddess secretly rescued four guards in the dungeon and successfully escaped from the treatment center with the help of the guards.
At 6 o'clock that night, the pale-faced goddess was sent back to the treatment hospital. After drinking a bottle of relieving medicine, her pale face regained some color, and then she returned to the room on the fourth floor where she was originally detained.
This is it.
Obviously, the goddess became more obedient after experiencing the alchemical slow poison. Even if the four guards persuaded her to escape from the treatment facility, she did not escape.
This made several academic instructors who were ready to make a big fuss about kidnapping the goddess in the treatment center and make the treatment center a target of public criticism. They all put on masks of pain.
Several academic tutors were ready for everything. They were full of their typical big moves and were ready to deal harsh blows to the treatment center. But now, the goddess herself refused to leave.
After hearing the news, several tutors immediately found another tutor who was good at pharmacy. However, as soon as this tutor entered the door of the treatment center, he was poisoned to the point of foaming at the mouth, convulsing all over, and was carried away. Everyone arrived.
It is still not clear how the pharmacist was poisoned.
Obviously, in the case of the Goddess, the academics were beaten down by the treatment center and their noses and faces were bruised and swollen. However, the academics hold the location of the entrance to the Deadly City, and it is obviously beneficial to them to continue dragging them down. Their purpose is
Maintain the status quo.
Time passed quietly, and early the next morning, Sias still hadn't come back. There was no news about this guy after he left the city.
There is no news from Sias, but the ghost brother is back. Not only did he come back by himself, he also teamed up with... well, he also 'invited' the Beast Master back with Xiao Huahua, the ancient magic mirror, and the evil spirit in the mirror.
.
This is unbelievable. You must know that the Beast Clan has always been xenophobic. Let alone allowing the highly prestigious Beast Master among them to come to the High Wall City, even if you want to step into their territory, you will be besieged.
But Brother Ghost did it. The reason is that before he became the chosen one, his parents were killed by wild beasts and beasts. His mother was bitten to death by members of the beast tribe, and his father was devoured by a wild beast.
.
This made Ghost Brother extremely hate the Beast Tribe and the Wild Beast Tribe when he was at his peak, and he took action. He often went hunting outside the city. After fifteen years of hunting, the overall number of the Wild Beast Tribe was reduced by 60%.
Seventy percent of the clan is gone.
In the bad land of that era, whether it was the Beast Tribe or the Crazy Beast Tribe, when they saw the Human Race, they would definitely scream and run away. They were all killed by the Ghost Brother and his expedition team.
In the past, when the expedition team saw wild beasts and wild beasts, they would try to avoid them. But in the era when Brother Ghost was the captain of the expedition team, when members of the expedition team saw wild beasts or wild beasts, their first reaction would definitely be to pull out their weapons and shout.
After meeting his colleagues, he rushed forward directly.
Now Brother Ghost went to 'visit' the Beast Clan, and the Beast Leader personally received him. He seemed calm, but in fact he was still a little panicked.
The ghost brother gave the beast leader two options. 1. Let the deputy director of the treatment center, Kuculin Baiye, come to visit, 2. Let the beast master go to the high wall city to ensure that the beast master arrives safely and returns safely.
.
After hearing this condition, the Beast Leader pondered for a long time. If Brother Ghost is the God of Death in the past, then Su Xiao is the God of Death who is still alive today. In the end, the Beast Leader found the master of the clan to exchange ideas at the treatment center.
In the name of Dharma experience, I went to a treatment center.
Now that the Beast Master has arrived in the city, Su Xiao asked Old Charman and Marina to pick him up, and asked the two people not to go back to the treatment center directly, but to drive the Beast Master to the beautiful planting area in the south of the city, and then in
Arrange lunch there and find a Beast Tribe in the city to receive the Beast Master.
This time, Su Xiao wanted to ask the Beast Master to teach him how to meditate. He had to ask for advice. Su Xiao didn't care about how the ghost brother negotiated in the early days. Now that the Beast Master has arrived at the High Wall City, he will definitely
You should be well entertained.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon that day, I was on a farm in Nancheng District. Looking around, I saw green water and green mountains in the distance, surrounded by a large expanse of trimmed grass, and behind it was a wooden house.
Under a big banyan tree, the canopy of the tree blocked the harsh sunlight. Su Xiao sat cross-legged under the tree. On the opposite side, there was an old wolf. This old wolf was the beast master.
"Dean Bai Ye, I've heard of you a long time ago, but I didn't expect that we would meet. What a wonderful fate."
The old wolf spoke human words, and was wearing the cloth ornaments of the beast tribe, but these cloth ornaments looked old and old.
"About the method of meditation, this is the masterpiece of my life, so..."
Although the beast master is here, he is not ready to teach the unique meditation method completely. For this reason, it is ready to be buried here.
Su Xiao took out an ancient book, which was obtained at Dragon Academy. This kind of ancient book is not a pure text form, but spiritual power is injected into it, and it is read in conjunction with it. This is true for the ancient books in Dragon Academy. There is no need to understand the words on the book.
type, and can still be read smoothly.
With the injection of a small amount of spiritual power, several symbols appeared on the cover of this ancient book, whose meaning is "Soul of the Beast". Simply put, this ancient book is a soul cultivation method that can be mastered by many beast groups.
After the Beast Master took the ancient book, he also poured his spiritual power into it. After a moment, it seemed to want to say something, but after looking down at the ancient book in its hand, it sighed. It knew that it could not refuse this deal, and it was not someone else.
Forced, but even its own heart cannot refuse.
"Dean Bai Ye, but as for my ugly words, my meditation method is an advanced method based on the basic meditation method, so you must have a solid foundation of meditation. I think you are so young, if you have the basics
If you don't have a reliable grasp of the meditation method, you won't be able to learn my advanced meditation method."
Beast Master spoke with a gentle smile, obviously trying to comfort Su Xiao in advance. Even if he couldn't master the advanced meditation method, don't be discouraged.
"..."
Su Xiao looked at the "Heart Meditation Lv. 69" in the Beast Master's information, and then looked at the "Heart Meditation Lv. 73" he had mastered, without saying anything.
