Chapter 36 Fishing can only start from a young age
The black-red light formed a curtain of light that looked like half-condensed blood, rising into the sky. It was not a bunch or a stream, but more than 200 meters wide and dozens of kilometers long, going straight up to the sky and connecting to the sky and the earth.
Facing such a majestic scene, at a distance of more than 1 kilometer, it is no different than standing under a mountain peak and watching a volcano erupt. On the contrary, we are actually standing on the edge of the crack in the ground. In the darkness under the lamp, we may not have such a thrilling look.
Angus, Laka, and Neo went out of their tents and saw this strange phenomenon on the other side of the ground. Like most people, they were shocked and opened their mouths wide, temporarily losing the ability to speak.
"Ni Ma! Why is there so much going on!" Even though he had been mentally prepared in advance, Neo still couldn't help but groan in his heart at this moment. He was not afraid of getting into trouble, but as a black mine owner, he was really just a transitional person.
During the transition, he just wanted to use this guy's identity to handle Bells' matter properly. Who would have thought that such an encounter would happen. He even felt a little bit about the conspiracy against the black mine owner Gusby these days.
, simply worried, "If I had left at that time, would I have heard the news that Goosby and his subordinates died suddenly tonight?"
Now that he has finally succeeded in impersonating, Neo is reluctant to leave alone, "That may not be safer than staying in a group now. It is best for these minions and slaves not to die. They are living proof of their identity. They will still be able to survive in the future."
No need to use hum! The killer has become the guardian, what is this called..."
With a small slur, Neo gathered his emotions, greeted Angus and others, and went back to his place to make preparations. The vision in front of him was completely beyond everyone's understanding. It would be wrong to say more, so it is better to do more.
Facts
Neo met Gris halfway. This middle-aged man with average ability and limited knowledge already had a bit of earth-colored face. He met Neo and asked without confidence: "Mine owner, we
What should I do!"
Neo rolled his eyes and hummed: "What a panic! The more you panic when you can solve the problem, the faster you will die. Do you understand?"
"The mine owner taught you a lesson!" Gris followed Neo, "But what should we do!"
"Gather everyone together, I have something to say"
"Oh! Okay, okay!" Gris stumbled away. A few minutes later, even the thugs and slaves gathered near a campfire. The light produced by the campfire was not very sufficient.
Everyone's face looked gloomy and frightened in the flickering firelight.
Neo stood on a cargo box, glanced at the people below, pointed at the black and red light rising into the sky in the east, and said loudly: "If we catch up with this situation, there is nothing we can do about it. Let's be actively prepared."
, it’s better than sitting back and waiting for death. As for waiting for rescue, who can we expect to save us? This dream should be given up as soon as possible.”
Hearing what Neo said, people's mood became even lower. However, there were no old, weak, women or children among these slaves, and there were none who would cry or cause trouble at the right time.
Neo continued: "Ma, we have it here. Does anyone think that he can escape at night and risk his life? Come forward now and I will give him a chance to leave?"
The group of people below looked at each other and made eye contact. Some were wondering about the feasibility of the plan provided by Neo, and some were wondering about Neo's true intention in saying this. But in the end, no one was willing to stand up, and Neo laughed.
He said twice and nodded, "They all seem to be quite smart. I know that at this time, even if I want to escape, it's too late."
"..." The thugs and slaves were speechless, thinking: "Why the hell are you still setting a trap for us at this time?"
As a result, Neo continued: "Don't blame me, I am also afraid of death, and I also want to live. Because of this, I need to make up my mind. If there are half-hearted intentions, I will leave early. This situation is really unreasonable now."
, what if you are lucky enough to survive?"
Hearing what Neo said, people felt that the mine owner might have some ideas and some methods. Some of the thugs and slaves knew the limelight, so they immediately expressed their stance: "Mine owner, we are willing to follow you, what do you want to do?
, we will do whatever we want, no questions asked", "Mine owner Ende, we are willing to listen to the mine owner's arrangements"...
"Well..." Someone set up the steps, and Neo knew what to say, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "In that case, I will lead everyone to try and run. You will definitely not be able to escape. There is no doubt about this. As for the danger,
What dangers are there? The main thing is monsters. You may have heard more or less that those damn devils, with the help of dark cultists, destroyed the seal that the gods placed on the continent of Emerald thousands of years ago.
This is why we have this abnormality in front of us. There is no good smoke and no good light. Naturally, it is better not to be contaminated. In addition, I am afraid that the monsters in the wild will become more terrifying, more ferocious, and even possible.
Along the cracks in the ground, monsters come up. No matter what kind of monsters they are, if they want to harm us, they will always find us first. How can they find them? Some people say, of course it depends on the eyes. I said, shit! You can see the night as if it is daytime and have a wide field of vision.
, we can never avoid such monsters. If we encounter them, we will be unlucky and will inevitably die. Most monsters rely on smell to find people, just like bears. The smell of food can be smelled dozens of kilometers away.
What I said is clear enough. Do you know what needs to be done?"
"Hide your breath?" a thug whispered.
"Bullshit! Of course it's to hide the aura! Use your brain and think carefully about how to operate it."
When Neo said this, everyone started talking. Generally speaking, there are two ways. One is to cover oneself more tightly, and the other is to try to reduce the smell, food, clothes, and people.
, limited to the resources at hand, the best way people can think of is plant ash. Apply this kind of stuff on the body and rub it into the clothes. The smell will naturally fade, and then try to move as little as possible, not sweat, and pay attention to breathing.
If it can still attract monsters, then it’s really useless.
"This is not enough. We have no taste, but we have horses. Take all these animals to the road, drive them away, and leave them to fend for themselves!"
When people heard this, they thought, yes, the mine owner had forgotten about this problem. Compared with life, these burdens are nothing. There is no need to save the mine owner this money. Besides, it is not far away from Yanshao Valley.
Even though it’s quite far away, I’ll arrive at almost noon even if it’s dawn tomorrow.
"Mine owner, we are trying our best here, but they..." Gris pointed at the Bode family's motorcade.
Neo snorted, "If we are making trouble here, they must have heard it over there. It depends on how they choose. Even if they say different things, we can still hide..."
Angus had indeed heard it, and basically agreed with Neo's analysis. Although this was not a good idea, and no face was left, looking at the black and red light curtain soaring into the sky, even with a group of guards
He was a good man, but he didn't have the guts to carry on. He tried to imitate others, and it was a lot of trouble here. So half an hour later, all the horses in the camp were led to the road and driven away.
There are also all the rich-flavored foods, and in the camp, all open fires are extinguished, people are wrapped in plant ashes, and they are all sitting or lying in the dark. According to Neo's words: "It's useless to think too much."
, everyone goes to bed, goes to bed early and gets up early..."
In the four-wheeled carriage, a curtain was hung on the small window on the door, preventing any light from getting through. Neo was learning and selling runes in the carriage by the light of the crystal lamp.
From a certain point of view, making runes is similar to copying magic scrolls. Both use matter as a carrier and law as a constraint to seal up energy and then stimulate it to obtain its effects. However, compared with magic scrolls, each rune product is
It can be used repeatedly, or it can be used like a magic weapon but at a low level. Rune products may be stronger than magic scrolls in this regard. But at mid-to-high level, the manufacturing process of rune products is complicated and there are restrictions on different energy injections. On the contrary,
It's not as versatile as a magic scroll.
Especially after humans became the masters of Emerald Continent, their short lifespan and fast pace made it inevitable to abandon those time-consuming and energy-consuming skills. Humans are rich in mages, because although the wizard system is rigorous, there are traces to follow.
The route is clear. As long as you are not stupid and work hard enough, you can naturally climb up step by step. Unlike the warlock, or the rune making profession, when you reach the intermediate and advanced levels, you have to feel the energy and understand its deep meaning. Humans are more troublesome.
Is it because of poor understanding that I will be stuck somewhere for the rest of my life? Speed, efficiency, the future we want to see, step by step, clearly... This is actually the subtext of the subjects that humans like.
Without the huge group of advanced creation research, just some low-level people making small fuss, the rune system will naturally decline. It is not that there is no learning and use at all, but it has retreated from the mainstream position to the second and third tier, and there are only
Those stubborn people, or large systems that are not short of money, will choose it for their own completeness, and plan to use it as a lifelong project research and development. Those who just plan to make a living by it are not included in the evaluation.
The main reason why Neo learns runes is that 'life intake' (actually energy intake) gives him an innate advantage that ordinary people do not have. In addition, Nancy also has a major advantage, with the ability to analyze and deduce.
, Nancy can be said to be a super teacher. Even a pig can become a smart pig under Nancy's guidance from scratch to the core and perfect details. What's more, Neo is not stupid at all, and he is diligent and eager to learn.
This time, he used black lambskin paper as the carrier and a mixture of acorn fruit and pure crystal powder as the pigment. He concentrated his energy and wrote 11 'dark' runes in one breath. The effect was to 'melt into the darkness', and then
Charging it with its own dark energy, the rune parchment lights up with a luster like water stains, and then disappears into the runes. The rune paint is completely integrated with the parchment, and the texture is also due to the intervention of energy.
There is an obvious difference. When you hold it in your hand, it feels like metal.
"What's going on? Power leak?"
"In the darkness of the moonlit forest, Jianmu's power has become more and more influential. Your dark attributes have changed slightly and are no longer pure."
Nancy's explanation surprised Neo, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
"It depends on how you look at it. If you want to be the spokesperson of darkness, then this is not a good thing. If you look at it from the perspective of devils and demons, it is naturally a big bad thing. But if it is a natural system, darkness and even death will
It's just part of the cycle..."
"It seems to be a good thing." Neo thought for a while and then said: "Will this affect the effectiveness of the runes?"
"The influence is inevitable. It's like being a thief. What you believe in is that thieves have their own ways. Devils and devils believe in stealing everything, including life. Pure darkness is dedicated to stealing, and everything else is just a cloud.
"
"In other words, the effect of my runes is best in the place closest to my power."
"That's it. Although it's not obvious at the low level, when you reach the high level, the gap widens. Building your own home court becomes very meaningful."
Neo smacked his lips. To transform or protect the world, it is best to exist in a cycle according to the system that is most suitable for you. No matter what kind of force it is, its essential purpose is this. The Holy See makes its own territory a holy place, and Fury allows himself
The country has become a world of money, Oder is the country of faith, Kells is the land of gloom and darkness, the devil is the cruel order, and the devil is the death place of chaos... These are their respective home fields, with their strengths aligned and their power greatly increased.
The so-called "destruction of heaven and earth" is a general statement.
After thinking about this clearly, Neo became more and more impatient to research the means of environmental transformation. Take the powerful ancient demon in front of him, which disappeared more than ten thousand years ago, and still lingers. He seizes the opportunity to create
With such a 'fertile soil strategy', as long as there is soil that breeds evil, the demonic imprint in the blood of the creatures will be easily stimulated, and a new generation of demons will be born. Even if they are just hybrids, they may not be able to become evil again. After all, no matter what
Whether it is returning to the ancestors and strengthening it, or bringing in foreign aid, there is a feasible foundation.
"Nancy, is there any good way? I can't plant trees. With my current ability, even if I do that, I'm afraid I will only watch the trees being polluted!"
"The explosion of the power of dark corruption is backed by the pollution of the entire star in ancient times. It can be said to be a legacy. Not to mention you, even the God Lord cannot clear it all at once. It can only be attacked from inside and outside, slowly.
Slow transformation: If you are of the light attribute, the Holy See and the whole family are undoubtedly the best needle-point wheat. There is no compromise, but you are of the dark attribute. You might as well refer to Kells's approach, or even the actions of the devils."
"ha?"
"What's so surprising? Do you only see the evil side of the devils?"
Neo said angrily and amusedly: "Is there anything else they deserve to praise?"
"Order! The basic camp classification, in addition to light, dark and neutral, is also divided into order and chaos. The devil is a strictly hierarchical order existence. It is equally evil, but it cannot deal with the devil."
"But they were the ones who destroyed the seal... I understand that blocking is worse than opening up. The devils want to speed up the death of the remaining demonic power in this world, while weakening the power of the light side, and then reap the benefits."
"Perhaps this is indeed the purpose of the devils, but when the forces of light are struggling with endless demonic incidents, they are ready to subvert the entire world."
Neo asked: "So, in your opinion, who do the demons hate more, light or evil?"
Nancy asked: "If you were the devil, how would you choose?"
Neo thought for a while, "If I have to compete in this world, I will do everything possible to strengthen myself, but I will not fight against the light or the devil. Instead, I will open one or more channels for free, allowing
The devils have direct access to the surface of the earth. Although the power of the dark corruption has spread widely, it is too scattered and has poor cohesion. I want to build a solid territory, take a long-term view, and wait for opportunities."
Nancy smiled, "It seems you already know what to do."
Neo took a long breath and nodded, "I want to be in a hurry now, but I can't. Transforming my home field is purely overestimating my capabilities. I am wasting my energy on taking advantage of this darkness, regardless of whether it is corrupt (evil) or evil (
Devil), cultivating my own night (dark night) is the right thing to do”
"Indeed, if you have this intention, you will have to work harder. Low-level demons are still easily controlled by your dark power. Not only the surface, but also the underground dark corruption power is unblocked. The impact of the underdark area should be more serious than the surface.
, and the environment in the Underdark is more favored by demons than the surface. However, the 'kingdom' in the Underdark will not sit still and wait for death. Dark elves, hobgoblins, gray dwarves, these are all lawful camps."
"Everyone above and below the ground will be caught in the continuous flames of war. We are really trying to survive in the cracks." Neo sighed in his heart. Of course, you can fish in muddy water, but muddy water is never good. This is like many adventurers who only see the high profits of taking risks.
, but did not really understand the meaning of the word "adventure", it was just like walking on thin ice. I really regarded it as a shortcut for progress, and I was afraid that I would suffer serious consequences in the end. After all, the only way to deal with anything in an honest way, and to attack the weak with the strong, is to
