Five o'clock in the evening, back area of the palace.
This place is more like the core inner city of the royal city than a royal palace. After five o'clock in the afternoon, the front area where the royal palace is located has a curfew. On the contrary, the back city of the royal palace starts to become lively.
The luxury rail train moved smoothly. The last two carriages of the three-car rail train were fully occupied. There was a round table in the first carriage. The shading layer of the windows had been lowered. Warm-colored lights were reflected on the round table. There were a total of five people sitting around the round table.
It's a card game with a relaxed atmosphere.
Grand Commander Litanvig.
One of the three ministers, Minister Villiam.
Assistant Prime Minister Enmu.
Imperial Special Affairs Department Minister Kuculin White Night.
Grand Prince Baratheon St. Adez.
…
Needless to say, the Grand Commander-in-Chief and the Assistant Minister Enmu are the old king's right-hand men respectively. When it comes to power, the Assistant Minister is even higher. He is the representative of the old king on many occasions.
The commander-in-chief is over two and a half meters tall, with an aura like a hawk's eyes and a lion's face. Those who are not mentally strong enough will not dare to meet his eyes.
The assistant prime minister is a fat, middle-aged man with a smile. He has followed the old king for decades. If he comes from a royal family, he is likely to be the next king.
Minister Wiliam has a sharp aura and is just over three meters tall. He does not give the impression of being strong or bulky, but rather powerful, like a lonely beast that has been lost in the darkness for many years.
Compared with these three people, the eldest prince's aura is much worse. He often turns the hand with the ring, which means that he seems calm, but in fact he is nervous inside. His appearance is very similar to that of the old king when he was young. He inherited the old king's aura.
The king's handsomeness does not have the feeling that although he is young, he is deeply hidden.
The 30-year-old prince seems not yet ready to inherit his father's throne, even though he is now the only legal heir to the empire and has six sons and four daughters. Regardless of personal ability, he is the first choice to inherit the throne.
The card game being played now is somewhat similar to Texas Hold'em, but the cards are different. After a few games, Su Xiao got started.
Next to him is a pile of soul coins. Each coin has a denomination of 100, which is one circle larger than the normal soul coins. It is notarized by the Void Tree. Yes, the chips in this game are soul coins. This makes Su Xiao have a deep understanding of this world.
The treasure troves of all major forces are more confident.
Su Xiao threw out a soul coin with a face value of 100. His current total net worth only left 2,900 soul coins, but it didn't matter. Someone was deliberately losing money today, and that was the Prime Minister Enmu. At 4:30 in the afternoon, Su Xiao picked up
At the invitation, the youngest daughter of the Prime Minister, Enmu, will be 17 years old this year and will hold a coming-of-age ceremony.
This coming-of-age ceremony has been held one after another half a month ago, but tonight is the official dinner. The real purpose of Assistant Prime Minister Enmu's invitation to Su Xiao is certainly not something that seems important but is actually not important.
His purpose is to introduce the new minister of the "Empire Special Affairs Department" to the eldest prince to ensure that the eldest prince gets more support.
The eldest prince sitting next to him nervously picked up the goblet and took a sip of the wine. He was very nervous now and felt that he had messed up. Uncle Enmu had already said hello in advance that his mission today was
Just lose, lose more to the new minister. Although the game is not big, it is a good attitude.
And Uncle Enmu has clearly told him that he should be regarded as the top powerful person in the hierarchy of the Soul Clock Tower and the Lord of the Clock Tower, the Mechanicum and the Three Pillar Gods, and the Grand Elder of the Rune Family.
to treat.
This made the eldest prince pay more attention to this card game. In the carriage, the eldest prince quietly wiped the sweat from his temples. He did not sweat from sweating, but sweated from winning. He was going to lose to the minister today. The problem was, just now
In a deck of cards, everyone chooses not to open the cards. As for cheating, everyone's perception is stronger than the one present. Whoever is caught cheating will be really embarrassed.
When the cards were finally opened, only Su Xiao and the eldest prince were still on the field. This made the eldest prince very nervous and worried that his cards were too big. But after turning over the cards with only mixed colors 344, the eldest prince felt relieved and felt
This situation is stable.
However, when Mr. Minister on the other side turned over a mixed card of 334, the eldest prince's eyes almost widened and he almost exclaimed, can he win?
Next, a funny situation arises. The eldest prince who really wants to lose to Su Xiao must make sure that when the cards are finally drawn, Su Xiao has not folded yet, so if Su Xiao follows, he also follows, and Su Xiao does not follow.
, he did not follow either, resulting in a situation where the eldest prince was almost chasing Su Xiao to win.
The big prince won this game. There was sweat on his forehead. The organizer, Mr. Assistant Prime Minister, was stunned by the victory. The grand commander Litanweg had always remained serious, but the imperial sword really wanted to laugh at this moment.
.
"Excuse me, I need to go to the toilet."
Minister Villiam stood up, and it could be seen from the crazy twitching corners of his mouth that he was holding back. After a while, unbridled laughter came from the bathroom next door.
When the card game ended, Su Xiao only had 500 soul coins left on hand. The eldest prince across the card table was hopeless. Assistant Prime Minister Enmu said with a smile:
"What a hearty card game."
Commander-in-Chief Litanvig glanced at the eldest prince, shook his head and chuckled. The eldest prince wanted to say something, but was pushed back by Minister Viliam.
"Silly boy, if Bai Ye accepts the invitation and comes here, it means he will support you. Don't worry, your uncle is teasing you."
Minister Viliam spoke. As one of the three ministers, he was supposed to be one of the agents of the Abyss race, the Rune family. However, Minister Viliam was actually a confidant of the old king.
If it is other forces, they must have noticed this. As for the Rune family, it is not that they are unable to find out, but they do not care. This is Rune, the absolute survival of the fittest.
The Luen family has one great elder, three elders, and ten rookies, and the rest are ordinary people.
If you want to become a member of the Rune Family, you don't even need to be from the Abyss. You only need to find a member of the Rune Family, challenge it, kill it, and seize its cause and effect on the Rune Family's "original emblem"
If you don't want to become a family member, there are only two results.
1. Escape from this world.
2. Wait for a member of the Rune family to come and fight to the death until he is killed by a member of the rune family.
Don't think that the Rune family is just obsessed with fighting to the death. If there is no check and balance from the other two major forces in this world, then the Rune family will build a huge colosseum. All the wise gods in this world will either come here to fight or be defeated by the Rune family.
The members are hunted as food until only the Rune family members are left in the world. They will enter the angry beast stage and start to devour the world.
When the world they are in is devoured until it begins to collapse, the Rune family will go to the next hunting ground, that is, the next world, to continue their deadly battle and hunting.
The Doukain family is enslavement, and the Rune family is destruction.
At half past five that night, in the banquet hall on the second floor of Birch Manor.
Amidst the soothing music, there were whispered conversations, or the laughter of ladies in the same circle. The faint smell of tobacco, mixed with the smell of alcohol, made a girl in a formal evening dress feel secretly uncomfortable, but
The education she received since childhood allowed her to remain humble and polite.
"Father~"
Kulea called softly. The Assistant Prime Minister also knew that his precious daughter was mildly allergic to the smell of tobacco. He picked up the wine glass and whispered for his daughter to follow him into a small hall connected to the banquet hall.
When she first entered the small hall, Kulea was choked by the smoke and almost couldn't take a breath. After she tried to take a few breaths, she felt a little dizzy.
Seeing this scene, the old smoker, Minister Villiam, put out the thick cigar in his hand. After Kurea initially adapted, she quietly observed the people sitting there. Among them, she only recognized the eldest prince, Baratheon.
His Royal Highness is a frequent visitor to his home.
But today, Kureiya keenly discovered that His Highness the Prince, who used to talk naturally and had a royal aura, seemed a little nervous today. This made Kureia secretly think that the few here must be difficult to deal with normally.
The big shots I met.
After being introduced by her father, Kulea first greeted the Grand Commander Litanvig and gave her elder salute. The Grand Commander took out a small box.
"Don't be formal. Although it's your first time meeting me, little girl, your father and I have been good friends since childhood. I have been too busy these years and have neglected the growth of the little princesses."
Commander-in-Chief Litanweg picked up the wine glass, clinked a glass with his assistant, and drank it down while looking at each other in silence.
Kulea took the opportunity to observe the elder carefully, because she felt that the elder's name sounded familiar and looked familiar. Suddenly, she thought why it looked familiar. She had seen it in the newspaper. This was actually the commander-in-chief.
Litanweg, an official several ranks senior to his father.
Obviously, this little princess does not know that although her father's official position is not at the top of the empire, his actual status is extremely high. In her impression, her father's highest position is that of the teacher of His Highness the Prince. The problem is that His Highness the Prince has not yet
Succession.
Just when everyone was chatting happily, a drop of black liquid fell from above and fell into Su Xiao's wine glass. The minister Viliam who was sitting next to him held up the wine glass for a moment without disturbing the others.
He said to Lidya Su calmly:
"Bai Ye, are you in trouble?"
"Not really."
"Need a hand?"
"No need for now, thank you."
"Haha, we are all our own people, don't be so polite."
After Minister Viliam finished speaking, he gave a symbolic toast to Su Xiao, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"Hmm."
Su Xiao spoke in a low voice, and the Assistant Prime Minister En Mu heard the sound and patted the shoulder of the person next to him, indicating that he had something to do and wanted to go away. He came to Su Xiao and whispered:
"What's the matter, Mr. Baiye?"
"I have something to do, let's go first."
"Okay, send someone to take you off?"
"Need not."
Su Xiao got up and was escorted by the Prime Minister to the courtyard. The courtyard was brightly lit and some young men and women attending the banquet were holding a party here. It was very lively.
Just as Su Xiao was about to get into the vehicle, she noticed a man with dark red hair and multiple golden earrings on his right ear. The man's aura could be said to be weird and hidden.
Their eyes met, and the red-haired man grinned, revealing a mouth full of shark teeth.
"I haven't fought with anyone in the palace yet. How about we destroy the law and have a fight."
"..."
Su Xiao ignored this person and boarded the Lord Train.
"Hehehehe..."
The red-haired man smiled more boldly and wildly.
The Lord Train left the Royal City and headed straight to the Abyss Spread Area No. 26.
Before six o'clock in the evening, Su Xiao arrived at the Abyss Spread Zone No. 26 and entered the black stone sky wall. The darkness invaded and made Baha shiver. No matter how many times they entered the Abyss Spread Zone, Bubu Wang and Baha would never
Feeling dark and cold.
As soon as he arrived here, Su Xiao saw the murderers lying on the ground in a mess. There were originally 300 murderers, but now there were only more than 180 left. It seemed that it would not take a few abyss spreading areas to select the final 19 people to form the Abyss.
The complete "Imperial Squad".
"Sir, it's been cleaned up."
Leshma spoke softly. From the looks of it, she had conquered the next abyss spread area and was full of expectations. However, she was not very good at expressing the emotion of expectation.
"..."
Su Xiao walked towards the direction of the abyss passage. There were dark beasts everywhere along the way, the broken limbs of abyssal creatures, and the corpses of dead criminals. The death methods of these criminals were surprisingly uniform, like broken ceramics.
, seems to be affected by Reshma's ability.
The surrounding environment became darker and darker, especially the ground under his feet, which felt dark and sticky when he stepped on it. He stopped in front of the abyss passage and did not close it immediately.
Baha handed over the black liquid that had just dropped out of thin air at the banquet. This drop of black liquid had been sealed. At Su Xiao's signal, Baha threw it into the abyss channel ahead.
Su Xiao was not kept waiting for too long. Half a minute later, Delona and Ayesha walked out of the abyss passage ahead.
"Brother."
"Brother."
Delona and Ayesha spoke one after another. Delona still felt a little unfamiliar, but Ayesha, who was usually quiet and did not like to pay attention to others, called her brother very smoothly.
"In trouble?"
"Ah, no, brother, we met Eminem in other abyss spreading areas."
"What district?"
"I don't know, but we can lead the way."
"Um."
Su Xiao asked Baha and Bubuwang to take Delona and Ayesha to the Lord's train first. He held his hands empty, and pulled them to both sides, forming ghost shadow lines as thick as his tail finger.
Half an hour later.
With a muffled sound, the black sky wall in the No. 26 Abyss spreading area suddenly shattered, and the abyss energy inside dispersed. Under the blood-like afterglow of the sunset, one could still faintly see the faint transparent traces in the center of this dark land, and again.
An abyss passage is closed.
The Lord train flew by. In the train, Su Xiao was sitting on a single seat, closing her eyes and concentrating. Delona and Ayesha each held a drink, Delona was a fruit drink, Ayesha was a milk tea, both
Bubu Wang mixed it up and added pearls to Ayesha. Ayesha's eyes were a little wide open as she drank. There were white threads in her dark eyes.
With a straw in her mouth, Leshma's eyes were unfocused as she flipped through the terminal in boredom. It seemed that she was 'missing' her subordinates. The kind of soul fluctuations that erupt after a villain experiences extreme pain.
Like a wonderful blooming flower, the murderers obviously did not miss Leshma. In their view, Leshma was the devil among devils.
"Sir, can I go back tomorrow morning?"
Leshma put down the terminal and with a smile, placed one hand on Ayesha's head. This little girl gave Leshma a sense of similarity.
"..."
Su Xiao ignored Leshma, he was checking the prompt that just appeared.
[Reminder: Your "Imperial Team" has participated in the crusade against "Abyss Spread Zone 26" and played a major role in it. 】
The Imperial Squad has only 20 people. Except for the captain Reshma, only 19 murderers can be edited into the squad. Therefore, the "Imperial Squad" has participated, rather than completing the crusade independently.
[The rewards for this expedition are being settled...]
[Settlement is completed, 10% has been deducted, and the rest is your income this time.]
[You get 85,000 precipitated colored glazes.]
[You get the number of times the Abyss Store is refreshed x 2 (this number of refreshes can be stored).]
…
Su Xiao has been suffering from the lack of a way to obtain [Precipitated Glaze] and the refresh of the Abyss Store. Logically speaking, the refresh of the Abyss Store should be:
"Tip: The Abyss Store will be refreshed every 20 to 40 natural days. Each time it is refreshed, items with high exchange value will be retained (you can activate the Abyss Store in any world or area notarized by the Void Tree).
"
The Abyss Store is notarized by the Void Tree. Su Xiao's Void Tree credibility is -????, which is of course not without punishment. One of the many penalties is that the Abyss Store will never refresh automatically.
Fortunately, the Void Tree's judgment on Su Xiao is both high and low.
The high point is that Su Xiao often completes the "Abyss Mission: The Grant of Death" with the highest mission completion rate, and he has received this before:
"The void tree's punishment immunity level is permanently +1."
The problem is, this high judgment combined with his credibility of the Void Tree -????, makes his various authority judgments in the Void Tree very strange.
For example, his "Abyss Store Permissions" in the Void Tree Notarization, he has the worst treatment that is so low that it will not be automatically refreshed, but he also has high-level permissions that open the highest level "Abyss Store".
This is also why Su Xiao hasn't shopped in the "Abyss Store" for a long time. This is because the store is stuck and doesn't refresh, and it's also because she hasn't obtained "Precipitated Glaze" for a long time.
The current "crusade settlement" has given Su Xiao a "precipitated glass", but don't forget that although his abyss store does not refresh, he has a very high discount:
"Original Sin Sealer (Passive Permission): Every time you hold/seal/suppress an Abyss·Original Sin item, the exchange price of all items in the Abyss Store will be reduced by 10%.
Now you get the exchange price reduction: 60%."
Therefore, as long as there is a way to refresh the "Abyss Store", the [Precipitated Glaze] he obtains will be much more valuable than others.
There are currently two refreshes and 87,291 "precipitated glazes". Su Xiao plans to save ten store refreshes before redeeming them. The reason is that every time the store is refreshed, there is a 10% chance of a "high-value refresh".
Although the items in the store are more expensive, they are all good things, and every time they are refreshed, this probability will be accumulated until this is triggered.
Su Xiao is very confident in her own luck. There is a 10% chance of a high brush, which is the classic ten times sure shot.
After closing the "Abyss Store", Su Xiao looked at Leshma opposite and felt very satisfied with the subordinate she had trained.
"Hmm~? Sir, is there something wrong?"
Reshma, who was biting her straw and speaking slowly, looked at her.
"come over."
"Oh~"
Leshma stood up and stretched out, slightly revealing her proud figure hidden under the loose clothes, and came to Su Xiao.
"hand."
"Okay."
Reshma raised her hand, and Su Xiao took the blood collection device handed over by Baha. Baha and him had a tacit understanding. Whatever Su Xiao wanted to do, she would give Baha a look, and Baha would understand.
Let Leshma expose her entire arm, and Su Xiao began to collect blood. First, let Leshma take a deep breath to mobilize the oxygen content in the blood and the body's energy. After recording the blood collection, she then asked the other person to silence her body's abilities.
Record the blood collection again.
A total of eight physical condition scales of blood were collected. Su Xiao was about to order a set of enhancement potions for Leshma. Delona looked around and looked at it with great interest, but after a while, she looked like she would cry at any time.
When he came out, he was sitting on a stool in front of Su Xiao while his blood was being taken.
When it was Ayesha's turn, this sister, who was essentially a weird existence, actually hesitated for a long time and sat on a small stool. The white threads in her eyes turned into a rotating vortex. It was unbelievable. As a "destiny advance",
The alien being responsible for collecting the "price" is actually afraid of injections.
After completing the collection, Su Xiao got up and went to the alchemy test bench in the bedroom of the rear compartment. The effect of the customized secret medicine was certainly not comparable to that of the universal version. If the effect of the former was 10, the effect of the latter would be at least 18 to 20, and
, this is a secret medicine customized by a pharmacist who has reached Lv. 99, just a few cents away from reaching the top level of pharmacy master.
At eleven o'clock at night, the train drove to the vicinity of the No. 5 abyss spread area, and several potions were prepared. In front of the alchemy test bench, Su Xiao classified the six bottles of potions and said to Leshma:
"Drink these two bottles immediately, and take the rest in the morning and evening."
"Okay, thank you ~ Lord Baiye."
Leshma spoke absentmindedly. It seemed that she 'missed' her subordinates very much. Leshma no longer suppressed herself. She had great looks and a good figure on the outside, but she had a lazy devilish personality on the inside.
.
When we arrived at Delona, there was a whole box of secret medicine.
"Brother, this is too precious, Delona cannot accept it!"
Delona opened her mouth with eyes rolling. She already felt that every bottle of this special potion that she drank would bring endless benefits. As for the experience...
"Considering that you are very afraid of pain, there are other ways to use it."
Su Xiao's words made Delona's eyes watery, and she almost blurted out "Brother, you are so kind."
"What should we do?"
"Intravenous injection."
"Brother, I will definitely follow your instructions and drink one bottle every day, eh!"
Delona nodded solemnly in assurance, then picked up the mechanically sealed box of refrigerated medicine and ran back to the seat.
There were five bottles of secret medicine given to Ayesha, each bottle was completely black, and Ayesha was told to drink one bottle every half month. Ayesha nodded obediently, saluted Su Xiao slightly, and softly said thank you, brother.
.
Boom!
The Lord Train suddenly shook, and all the wheels locked up, causing the Lord Train to plow the ground and slide out, followed by loud noises and vibrations, and the Lord Train was forcibly intercepted by some huge creature.
Pat, pat~
Hands and feet made of flesh and blood jumped up all over the Lord Train. A centipede-like creature that was as thick as an oil barrel and several hundred meters long, half mechanical and half flesh, entangled the Lord Train.
Seeing this creature, Su Xiao knew what was going on. The Mechanicum, one of the three major forces, began to attack him.
Su Xiaogang was about to pull out the long knife from his waist.
"Woof!"
Bubu barked, which meant: "Master, let me come."
"The other party has at least three archbishops."
"Woof!"
Bu Bu Wang's eyes were firmer than ever before. Seeing this, Su Xiao let go of the handle of the knife and sat down again.
The four mechanical arms behind Boob Wang unfolded, one of which was connected to the giant terminal of the train, and the other three controlled portable terminals. Boob Wang began to invade these mechanical lives with "divine flesh and blood" outside the train.
At this moment, the terminal controlled by Bubo Wang is its weapon. If we only talk about the invasion ability, this terminal is at least an eternal-level weapon with a rating of 8500. Adding all the abilities of Bubo Wang together, it is "invasion ability level +
11", plus "invasion resistance level -3" to the enemy.
The mechanical centipede that entangled the train was first invaded by Bubuwang. It was seen that the biological energy of this mechanical centipede was overloaded. As a result, when it came into contact with the mechanical structure, it was like sparks flying everywhere, and the body of this mechanical centipede was painfully twisted.
Not only that, other mechanical creatures near the mechanical centipede also began to erupt with electric sparks one after another, which was an intrusive infection. What is even more shocking is that in the prosthetic eyes of some mechanical creatures, the individual consciousness clusters were contaminated by external data, causing them to enter a state of chaos.
, leading to mutual attacks.
Archbishop Cayo, who controlled thousands of top mechanical creatures, immediately stopped the control. Any strong man in the system of gods would gradually transform his personal consciousness into a cluster of personal consciousness, thereby completing the control of living mechanical limbs and divinity.
The control of flesh, blood, and organs to avoid overloading personal consciousness.
In short, the basis of the power system of the gods is to use individual consciousness to gradually wrap "individual consciousness clusters" outside, thereby completing the control of the whole body, suppressing the "alienation" of living metal limbs, and maximizing the
Control the power of your own flesh and blood.
In the distance, next to Archbishop Cayo, who is slightly fat and dressed in black clergy robes, there is also a red-eyed archbishop. He is more than five meters tall. The living furnace in his chest and heart is constantly radiating heat to the surroundings. The mechanical right arm
There is mechanical beauty in the complexity, the head is almost a living metal structure, and a pair of mechanical eyes shine with red light.
Next to him is a white-robed archbishop in white robes. His body under his white robes surges, and mechanical insects drill in and out of his body. Each mechanical insect can penetrate into the enemy's body.
, carry out consciousness intrusion, or self-destruct in a small area but with great power, and leave a biochemical pollution area after the self-destruction, causing mutations in the flesh and blood of the enemy.
These three are all archbishops of the Mechanicus. Sending three at a time shows the determination of the Mechanicus.
"Then the law destroyer still has the ability of the technological system?"
Archbishop Cayo looked puzzled. In the next second, sparks exploded on his shoulders. The archbishop was suddenly invaded by Boubou Wang. After the successful invasion, Boubou Wang came up with more terrifying methods.
Virus implantation.
'Virus command·self-destruct!'
Feeling that the "life source core" was about to be detonated due to high heat in an instant, Archbishop Cayo immediately took action. He immediately ejected the life source with a click, and used the teleportation properties of his right arm to hold it with one hand and teleport it away.
Boom!
There was an explosion in the distance, and Archbishop Cayo's face twitched. The red-eyed archbishop and the white-robed archbishop, who had just become very powerful, also had similar expressions. They had never been invaded by the "Individual Consciousness Cluster" before.
This kind of thing is like a stand-alone computer device being infected by a computer virus. The network cable is not plugged in and there is no wireless network interface. How can it be infected by a virus?
Bubo Wang told the gods today that his "individual consciousness cluster" is not impeccable and perfect. Of course, if you reach the "invasion ability level +10" or above, you can complete the invasion. It is just a matter of speed or slowness. "Invasion ability"
Bubu Wang, who has a rank of +11 (+3), may be able to complete the invasion of consciousness clusters when facing the gods, let alone facing the archbishop level.
Archbishop Cayo's eyes were particularly solemn. The red-eyed archbishop and the white-robed archbishop on the side had raised their mechanical right arms and released the insect swarm. It only took an instant to attack the Lord's train. However, before that, Bu
Bouwang has issued the second order and completed the "individual consciousness cluster" of the three archbishops. In other words, Archbishop Cayo's virus was transmitted to the other two archbishops.
‘Viral command·dance.’
There was a loud noise, and the high-temperature molten pillar hit the lord train. The +32 lord train had a very strong defense. It had no problem withstanding this. However, the three archbishops on the opposite side had a problem. They actually started dancing together.
, this made the expressions of the three people become distorted from the initial shock.
