The sun was shining brightly outside, and when the citizens saw Chen Yan coming out, they all bowed in greeting.
The Hall of Heroes is just behind the City Lord's Hall, just across three streets.
After the temple was completed, Chen Yan only went in once, and then he had no interest in taking a second look.
Because there is nothing inside except the empty spiritual place.
If the city lord is not interested, others will naturally not be interested either. There is not even a guard in front of the huge palace gate.
There were fallen leaves all around, and it looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time.
Pushing open the palace door, a smell of old stuffy air hit my face.
The light in the hall was dim, except for two groups of blue lights, one large and one small, flashing on the spiritual platform on the west side.
Taking a closer look, it turns out that there are two souls, one person and one dog.
They were firmly bound in a spiritual position more than two meters high, and could only move in place and could not lift their feet to leave.
Seeing someone coming in, the humanoid soul shouted: "But the Lord of the City is here? I, Yang Zongyue, accidentally entered the precious land and caused the disaster of death. Although it is his own fault, but... I don't want to die in vain, and I also ask for mercy from the Lord of the City." , let me go!"
Although Chen Yan was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but take a breath when he heard the words Yang Zongyue.
This name is so big that the entire Dong Clan Alliance worships it.
Whenever people mention this name, they are filled with admiration.
To a certain extent, Yang Zongyue has long been mythologized and turned into a living true god.
He is the glory and pride of the Eastern Clan Alliance, and he is also the backbone and the anchor of the Eastern Clan Alliance.
With him around, the Dong people are not afraid of any invasion by foreign enemies, because at critical moments, Marshal Yang can always turn the tables and make the final decision!
Now, this true god actually begged him so hard that Chen Yan suddenly felt like he was in a dream.
Swallowing hard, swallowing the heart that jumped into his throat, Chen Yan calmed down, grinned slightly, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly over.
Woof woof!
The big dog suddenly barked, its voice was deep and ferocious, which startled Chen Yan.
Looking at this dog carefully, I found that although it is big, its body is streamlined, its limbs and tail are very slender, and its snout is also pointed.
Obviously this is an enlarged version of a thin dog.
"Sanlang Mo Yai! This is..." Yang Zongyue looked at Chen Yan's golden face and said with great insight: "This is the Lord of the City. You need to be polite!"
Woof...
The big dog still didn't buy it, but he didn't dare to disobey his master, so he just growled angrily and then lay down.
"Are you Yang Zongyue?" Chen Yan regained his composure and asked as calmly as possible.
"Exactly!"
"From the Eastern Tribe Alliance?"
Yang Zongyue was startled, "Does the Lord of the City know my origin?"
Chen Yan closed his eyes and thought, "It's strange that I don't know."
Okay, now the question is, how did this guy get here? Didn't he go to the void?
Is it possible that this city is also in the void?
Chen Yan's heartbeat quickened again. He coughed lightly and said, "As far as I know, you have just broken through the wilderness realm, and this is your first time entering the void. You should have gone back a long time ago, why did you come here?" Already?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zongyue's legs softened and he knelt down.
Yes, before he was still half-confident as to whether Chen Yan could save him, but now he is convinced.
This is a god, otherwise how could he know so clearly.
"Lord City Lord, it's a long story. I... I actually got lost here. I wanted to stay for a while and then leave, but I accidentally broke into the Tower of the King. I was killed. I really overestimated my own ability and it is my own fault. I also hope that Lord City Lord Seeing that this villain made an innocent mistake, please be kind enough to let me go, please..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Zongyue burst into tears, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and looked miserable.
Chen Yan felt that a high wall in his heart collapsed.
The dignified pillar of the Dong Clan Alliance is actually so greedy for life and afraid of death. He wouldn't believe it unless he saw it with his own eyes.
Of course, Yang Zongyue may have felt that dying like this was meaningless, so he felt more aggrieved and unwilling.
But is this really the behavior of a man who is so groveling?
Or are the truly successful people actually those with particularly soft bodies?
"Lord City Lord, as long as you are willing to save me, I can leave everything to you. You see..." Seeing Chen Yan blinking his eyes and showing no reaction, Yang Zongyue quickly took out something from his arms and handed it over: "This is me The godhead, I, I’m not sure why it didn’t dissipate, I… I’m willing to dedicate it to the Lord of the City!”
Chen Yan took a closer look and saw that it was indeed a godhead.
This thing looks like a silver-white light spot, very small.
But once the sight is focused, it becomes extremely huge.
The shape is like a slowly rotating galaxy, which contains countless stars in the universe and a vast sea of knowledge and information.
"I can also give you the godhead of my Sanlang." Seeing that Chen Yan still didn't respond, Yang Zongyue immediately added: "Although it is a beast and has a low godhead, it is still useful... at least."
Woof woof!
The big dog barked, looking unhappy.
"Sanlang, spit it out!" Yang Zongyue lowered his head and shouted.
Woof...
The big dog still wanted to refuse, but couldn't stand the threatening look in his owner's eyes, so he finally opened his mouth and spat out a small black ball of light.
This is the godhead of the mythical beast.
Although it is incomparable to the master's godhead, it still possesses divinity.
"Lord City Lord, please... accept it." Holding two divine figures, one white and one black, Yang Zongyue begged again with tears in his eyes: "As long as you can let me go back, I am willing to be an ordinary person from now on and spend the rest of my life with my family. , I have no other thoughts, wuwu..."
Chen Yan didn't believe this.
With Yang Zongyue's talent and the strength of their old Yang family, it is not impossible to start over again.
Moreover, even if it cannot reach its previous strength, as long as it works well, it can still be concealed and make others think that Yang Zongyue is still the same Yang Zongyue.
Of course, this guy's more likely calculation is that as long as he can leave here, the godhead he handed over may also leave with him.
As expected, those who achieve great things are those who dare to think and act.
Yang Zongyue has probably done this kind of desperate thing once or twice, so he seems to be so familiar with it.
"Lord City Lord...I'm sincere, wuwuwu..." Seeing that Chen Yan still didn't accept the godhead, Yang Zongyue amplified his cry and his body trembled violently, causing the big dog beside him to roll his eyes.
Chen Yan curled his lips slightly and pretended to be helpless and reached out to take the godhead.
Before, he didn't know what this thing was used for, but now, he suddenly knew it all.
Yes, the moment he took possession of the Godhead, it was like an instruction manual was opened in front of his eyes, and Chen Yan immediately understood how to use it.
Yang Zongyue's godhead can be used by anyone, including the big dog's godhead, and it can also be used by any dog.
The difference is that Yang Zongyue and Big Dog can exert their full power when their godheads are on themselves, while other people and dogs can only start from scratch.
But even if you start from scratch, it is still a road to the sky, and it is extremely fast.
Because the Godhead contains all the experiences and lessons learned by Yang Zongyue and Big Dog on their upgrade journey, anyone who is not a fool can quickly improve their strength.
Chen Yan heard his own heartbeat again.
Then he felt a little like crying.
Grandma, I have been playing the "game" for sixteen years, and today I finally became famous!
"Lord City Lord, are you...are you satisfied?" Yang Zongyue asked cautiously after looking at Chen Yan's expression.
"Uh..." Chen Yan came to his senses, quickly put his hands behind his back, then shook his head and said: "This matter is not a matter of my satisfaction or dissatisfaction, but... you broke into the Heavenly King Tower without permission and angered many people in the tower. God, if I let you go so easily, the gods will probably blame me. In this case, please be patient and wait for me to discuss it with the gods and see what they want before making a decision."
After saying that, Chen Yan turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly turned back and asked: "Where are your weapons?"
"When the villain's body dies, all the armor and weapons on his body dissipate."
"oh……"
Chen Yan nodded, feeling a little regretful. If the weapons and armor were still there, it would be much easier.
Before reaching the door, I felt the two gods in my hands beating slightly, as if there was some kind of force that was attracting them to squeeze out from between my fingers.
Looking from the side, Yang Zongyue was grabbing the five fingers of his right hand from a distance, obviously trying to grab the godhead back.
Seeing that he was discovered, he looked embarrassed, slowly put away his right hand, and then pretended to scratch his scalp...
He is indeed a chicken thief.
Realizing that Chen Yan might be perfunctory with him, he wanted to regret it.
However, the city lord here is the biggest, and nothing can escape Chen Yan's control.
Let alone taking it back secretly, even if it is still with Yang Zongyue, Chen Yan can take it away without any difficulty.
In this way, I am even more sure that this guy is playing a trick and doesn't really want to hand over his godhead.
In this case, let's stay in the Hall of Valor forever.
Besides...
In fact, Chen Yan didn't know how to save him, because when the Hall of Heroes was built, there was no need to check it in detail, and he just arranged it casually.
All the civil and military officials were waiting outside the palace gate. When they saw Chen Yan coming out, they surrounded him. Foreman Chen was still running at the front. When he arrived and was about to speak, Chen Yan spoke first: "Get me the drawings of the Hall of Heroes." Come."
"I have it with me, old minister." As expected, he was good at figuring out his master's thoughts, and the old man was already prepared.
At this moment, he handed the drawing to Chen Yan, then pointed to a line of inconspicuous small words in the lower right corner and said: "I guess this is the purpose of the Hall of Heroes."
Chen Yan squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and saw that the line of words read - Heroic Spirit Arrives, Chaos Becomes, and the Heaven and Earth will change from now on!
I had actually seen this line of writing before, but I didn't have any special understanding.
Now that I read it again, my heart suddenly became enlightened, and I finally understood the purpose of the Hall of Valor.
From the day it was built, this city has been trying to explore the outside world.
But as long as you are more than a hundred miles away from the city, you will definitely be attacked by various beasts.
Therefore, no matter how many scouts are sent out, all of them will never return.
As time goes by, even if this task is assigned, no one dares to take it, or if they do, it is done perfunctorily.
Then the two city lords before and after had the attitude of playing games. Since the task was difficult, they were too lazy to continue publishing.
In this way, the size of the city is getting bigger and bigger, but the outside world is still unknown.
This has actually always been a hidden danger.
Of course, if it is really just a game, then even if one day there is an unknown attack and the city is destroyed, it won't be a big problem. At most, sixteen years of playing will be in vain.
But now it has been proven that this is not a game, so it is completely different.
Therefore, the heroic spirits in the Hall of Heroes are actually the guards of the city and also the pioneers of the expansion of territory.
As long as tasks are issued to them, they will be followed.
But the prerequisite is that the godhead must be deprived first, otherwise once they leave the city, the heroic spirit will restore its true form, escape control, and run away.
Chen Yan has already accomplished this step.
Next, you can give the heroic spirit corresponding combat abilities according to the difficulty of the task.
This ability can be obtained from the three heavenly kings in the heavenly king tower.
Yang Zongyue was beaten to death by Little Heavenly King, so he is now under the control of Little Heavenly King.
Whoosh!
Throwing away the drawings, Chen Yan walked away.
The officials followed stumblingly behind, and soon arrived in front of the Heavenly King Tower.
Because someone died six days ago, the tower door is still closed and there are guards guarding the door.
However, there were still many city residents outside who were burning incense and offering sacrifices. When they saw the Lord of the City coming, they all prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted long live. At the same time, there were also many voices begging for the door to be opened and people to come in to offer incense.
Before Chen Yan could give the order, Foreman Chen had already ordered the guards to open the door.
In fact, I have only been to Tianwang Tower once.
Because Chen Yan neither believed in Buddhism nor Taoism, it was enough to look at the clay statues once.
But now I feel completely different when I come in. I feel awe when I look at every statue.
Chen Yan noticed that Foreman Chen was hesitant in his steps. When he looked back, he saw that the old man looked uneasy, while the others did not dare to come in at all.
"Foreman Chen, when Yang Zongyue came in that day, was there anyone else in the tower?"
"Returning to the Lord of the City, in order to avoid conflicts between him and the pilgrims, I emptied the Heavenly King Tower in advance."
"Then did you come in with him?"
"Yes, veteran..." Foreman Chen suddenly raised his hand and wiped away his sweat, "I was following him at the time. His back foot entered and I also entered with my front foot. As a result, a strong force rushed towards me, and the veteran fell out, and then the tower The door is closed."
Chen Yan nodded slightly.
I bet this tower is specifically designed to trap outsiders. No matter who the people in the city are, they will not be harmed.
When we arrived on the third floor, we saw a huge statue standing in the middle.
He is at least five meters tall, has a big chest and a round waist, has a green face and red hair, wears golden armor, and holds two sledgehammers.
The hammer is several times bigger than a wheel. It is said that the gold powder coating was very labor-intensive back then, and it looks like real gold after it is finished.
This is the little king on the third floor.
Chen Yan still vaguely remembers its name - Qin Mingsi, with the Chinese character eighteen!
The last time I saw King Qin Tian, it was still a clay statue. Apart from its majestic appearance, there was nothing special about it.
Now, as soon as Chen Yan saw its eyes, he immediately sensed some kind of message.
"Lord City Lord, are you satisfied with the heroic spirit sent to the Hall of Valor?"
"Satisfied, satisfied!" Chen Yan nodded quickly.
"You can let him explore new territories. Then I can lend him these two sledgehammers and give him supreme power. By the way, there is also his big dog, which has transformed into a fire unicorn as a mount. That’s not bad, what do you think?”
"That's the best. Thank you so much, King Qin!"
"You are the biggest here, no need to be polite. After the Lord of the City releases the mission, I will give him the hammer. By the way, why is there no incense in the tower these days? No one worships? But it makes me and my brothers starve. Already."
"Don't worry, King Qin. I'll let the citizens in right now." Chen Yan turned around and walked away. When he got outside the tower, he asked foreman Chen to put the citizens in and took out the mission manual from the briefcase on his waist.
Open the cover, and the first page is the Heroic Spirit Mission.
The content is to explore the farthest ends of the four directions of the city, southeast, northwest, and after success, the hero who performs the task will be rewarded with a life-reviving pill. After taking 100 pills, he can regain his body.
The conditions seemed fair, and Yang Zongyue should have no reason not to accept.
Moreover, the Heroic Spirit mission cannot be refused. As long as the city lord announces it, everyone must carry it out immediately.
So without thinking any more, he took out the City Lord's Great Seal and stamped it on it. Then with a wave of his right hand, the page of the mission document turned into a golden light and shot towards the Hall of Heroes.
So thin!
Suddenly, the neighing sound of a mount came from that direction, and in the blink of an eye, a fire unicorn rushed out from the Hall of Valor. Its body was as big as a dragon and horse, and its whole body was surrounded by dazzling firelight.
Sitting on Qilin's back is a heroic general, Yang Zongyue.
He was wearing a golden armor given by King Qin Tian, and he held a golden sledgehammer in each hand. When the sun shone, it was so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.
The fire unicorn came straight towards Chen Yan. When it reached him, its two front legs were raised high, and Yang Zongyue shouted: "Your Majesty, the general of the city has taken your orders and gone!"
Wow!
The fire unicorn ran towards the city gate and disappeared in the blink of an eye...
