Chris paused here: "I actually always thought you were dead."
"Hahahahahaha!"
The old man suddenly laughed wildly.
"Chris, you are still as speechless as ever! You are so straightforward!"
The old man's words were not all heroic, but more of a sense of vicissitudes of life.
"I think over the years, the saints of the Dark Light Church will not give you a good look! After all, you are too upright and can't speak... But it is precisely because of this that the Savior will agree to my last request, Let an outsider like you succeed as the leader of the Divine Blade."
Chris, who was listening, looked calm and did not speak again.
The old man continued: "Back then, I was cursed by part of the power of the 'Black Abyss', so the people who died in vain in that city came to haunt me. They tortured, cursed, and hurt me for countless years... all the time, I'm looking for a way to die completely."
"I should have chosen to die."
There was a calmness and calmness in his tone.
"However, I managed to find a civilized relic, this armor, which helped me get rid of the influence of the curse."
"Why did you return to Annotales today?" Chris's voice suddenly became low, and a terrifying aura that could destroy everything in an instant rose from him.
"This mist has nothing to do with you, right?"
"I came back to this city just to see her. It's just human nature."
The old man in the armor sighed and shook his head slowly, the armor parts also making noise: "Chris, you better not be so... wary of your benefactor."
Chris's face was as dark as water, and he continued: "The kindness is as heavy as a mountain. I can help you with everything, but above this kindness, there are more important things."
More important things…
"Is it Him?" the old man asked in a low voice.
Chris shook his head slightly, his tone becoming firmer.
"No, it's them."
Hearing this, the old man suddenly fell silent for a long time. He finally stopped talking and slowly stood up and left the tavern.
"We can't be enemies, Chris."
—
The secret stronghold of the Deadly Arms Order is somewhere in the slums of the city.
This place is completely covered by the barrier of "Silent", and outsiders cannot see the situation inside. However, there is a huge "chessboard" in front of "Silent", which clearly shows the situation of the entire city.
At this moment, there were only dozens of white-robed men standing next to "Silent", and the remaining hundreds of senior believers, priests, and high priests were unknown to where they were.
An old man covered in armor appeared in the stronghold.
The former leader of the Divine Blade Knights has now changed his sect. He is the high priest second only to the "Silent" in the Deathly Pregnancy Religion.
"Evil spirit"!
He slowly walked not far from "Silent".
"It was the Tower of Babel that took action."
The old man in the armor said solemnly: "Many believers were killed not long ago, and some of the backup forces we left were also destroyed... The Ceremony of Tranquility has strict requirements and requires a certain number of believers to be activated at the same time in various locations in the city. The ceremony can be completed..."
"The Tower of Babel's actions will have a serious impact on us."
He paused and asked, "Do you want to defeat them?"
However, even though the old man said so much, the leader of the Silence of Death still remained silent.
The "Silent Ritual" is a "contract" that can improve one's abilities. It only requires a drop of blood and three spells to be performed, but to maintain it, the caster needs to remain silent at all times.
And "Silence" seems to go a step further.
Not only has she never spoken, she has almost no idea of communicating with anyone!
The "evil spirit" was silent, and suddenly found an extra note in his hand.
He took a look.
What is written above is the next plan.
"I see."
The leader of "Silent Silence" still refuses to communicate as always. In the past few years, he has actually become accustomed to this situation.
If she hadn't taken action...
He could never be freed from that situation where life was worse than death.
Just as Chris was grateful to himself, he was also extremely grateful to this woman.
The feelings that the "evil spirit" has had towards "Silence" over the years are actually not just gratitude, but more of admiration.
In the real world, there has never been a living person so close to "eternal peace of mind."
During the decades he had been tortured by evil spirits, he truly understood one thing.
"Peace of mind" is far more important than "happiness".
Many people do not have this kind of awareness and are troubled by the worldly world. They work hard for false justice and evil, happiness, sorrow, money and fame.
In the end, all that was achieved was nothing.
Want more, want to protect more, want more revenge, every emotion will make people anxious in expectation, uneasy and even fearful in anxiety.
There is no end to the thirst and desires of mortals!
Only He can cut off the root of desire.
Let mortal souls also have the opportunity to gain eternal peace of mind.
The gift of tranquility, it can give everyone in the city eternal peace of mind, no more pain, no more troubles, no more expectations.
It is undoubtedly a great love.
Chapter 333: Stuck? Draw a card!
the next day.
In various urban areas, the thick white fog still has not dissipated.
Although people found it strange, the church did not issue any warning notice, and the priests were doing everything as usual.
So, there were no widespread riots... at least not outside the ghettos.
In fact, everyone who cares knows that Annotales seems to be peaceful on the surface, but it has already been undercurrents and extremely important events have occurred.
On the first day of the three-day event in "Dark Light City", the situation in the city was relatively calm.
Only some cultists and monsters died during the annihilation of the Tower of Babel.
Captain Chris of the Knights of the Divine Blade personally went to the slums to bring thousands of mutants back to the church.
The chaos is nothing more than that.
This decadent and ancient city is too huge, like a shrunken kingdom, and there is no Internet...
Even if a small number of people are in chaos, most people in Annotales still live a normal life.
Inside the Tower of Babel.
At this moment, "Savior" Bai Yan is conquering the second stage of the "Tower of Babel" game "Dark Light City".
"Well, it's stuck." He shook his head slightly.
When he reached the second stage, Bai Yan got stuck.
It’s not that I can’t beat it, it’s that I can’t beat it perfectly or speed through it.
Compared with the first stage, the BOSS that the Tower of Babel has to face in the second stage is very strong, and the locations of the enemies are very scattered, only in every corner of Annotales, and their locations will change every time.
The current "Night Blade", "Soul Dancer", and "Sacred Heart Chosen" are not enough.
Bai Yan fought repeatedly for five hours, but failed.
It can't be said to be a failure. It can definitely be beaten, but it is still far from the perfect clearance in Bai Yan's mind.
There are a total of eight mini-bosses in the second stage, namely the eight high priests of Death's Arms, all of whom have monarch-level levels.
While killing them in the Tower of Babel, you also have to defeat the "Puppet" and the "Evil Spirit" respectively, both of which are very powerful bosses.
In order to achieve a perfect speed pass, Bai Yan started over again and again.
Every time he started over, Bai Yan found that he could choose help again.
Either two kinds of one-stage "help", or one kind of two-stage "help".
The "reversal" effect of the first stage is to reverse the status of the BOSS and the character once.
The second stage of "Reversal" can use up to three reversals, but each reversal can only last ten seconds, unless the target dies within ten seconds.
In addition, every time you restart, the locations of the BOSS will become different.
Therefore, Bai Yan can confirm that "Dark Light City" is indeed the meat pigeon activity of "Tower of Babel".
For the current Tower of Babel, defeating BOSS is very easy.
The problem is that if the bosses cannot be killed quickly, the high priests everywhere will start the ritual after a while.
Through this ritual, they absorb the life of those around them in preparation for the Rite of Serenity.
As long as the total number of deaths does not reach 100,000, the mission will not be considered a failure.
However, if he passes the level normally and does not pursue speed, Bai Yan finds that at least 10,000 people will die after passing this level.
In the game "Tower of Babel", they are just data.
But in reality, this is 10,000 living lives!
Therefore, it is easy for Bai Yan to pass the second stage of "The Night Before", but simply completing the level does not make much sense.
According to this development, if left unchecked, many people will surely die.
He wants to speedrun!
No one can die!
However, Bai Yan, who had completed the level normally in half an hour, played again and again for more than four hours. In total, he failed to complete the speed pass for five hours.
It was too difficult for him to kill eight small bosses and defeat two big bosses at the same time in a very short time. There were only three core operators and the time was not allocated well.
Bai Yan has put a unicorn-like "Black Prince" skin on "Night Blade". Its mobility is much stronger, but its mobility is still not enough.
"And it's actually far from perfect. Thousands of people still died. If this continues, even if I, as the 'only variable', personally go into battle, I will probably not be able to complete the speed run perfectly."
what to do
Bai Yan fell into deep thought. Now that the matter has come to this, it seems that he can only do something crooked.
If the "refuge" was not used in the crisis of annihilation, it can actually be used here, but the "refuge" has been used in the crisis of annihilation, so the "refuge" will be limited to the city of Chenhai and cannot be used. Annotales makes an impact.
Perhaps to prevent loopholes from being exploited, if Bai Yan used the privilege to "recast" to dismantle the original "shelter", it would still take him ten days to build a new "shelter."
What to do now
He actually had two ideas.
The first one is to use privileges that have never been used to "recast", temporarily demolish some buildings of the Tower of Babel, and collect 3,000 points to directly purchase the "Exchange House".
Then, Lee used the effect of the "exchange house" to get out relics like the "Flashing Blade of Transmigration" that were missing just one fragment to improve the mobility of the core operators.
Another plan is to bet more on dog points, which is to use all the more than two thousand points on hand to draw cards!
Slap the skin!
Bai Yan knew that many of Mu Zhen's skins had high mobility, and "Black Prince" was not the best choice.
However, when you think about the probability, you know how difficult it is to do the latter. There are so many core operators, how difficult is it to happen to have the skins of three of them
“…”
Bai Yan fell into deep thought.
Rationally speaking, he can only choose the second option.
Because the "relics, wonders, mysterious power, and sacred pattern completion" effects of the exchange center are actually a mechanism of "the fewer fragments are missing, the fewer points are needed."
