Brace Empire, Holland.
Sonny, dressed in a gorgeous archbishop uniform, left the Holy Glory Cathedral alone, walked to a secluded private house, and activated the teleportation array set in the dark room.
The next moment, Sonny's figure appeared in a dark passage.
There are no windows in the passage, only the gorgeous spars embedded in the walls can be used for lighting, and the spars are wrapped in delicate and complicated lampshades, each of which is like a work of art.
With a cursory glance, you will find that the entire passage is covered with exquisite silk wallpapers, and the carpets under your feet are also hand-woven high-end products. Every decoration is extremely luxurious. Perhaps the residence of the great nobles is of this level. .
But Sonny was used to the decoration here, and walked forward without looking sideways. His movements were calm, obviously very familiar with this place.
After passing through complicated corridors and several rooms, Sonny came to a tall door.
After solemnly rearranging his appearance, Sonny stretched out his hand and opened the door.
The moment the door was opened, a strong sense of resentment and death overflowed from inside, like a dusty tomb. This dead air made Sonny, a living person, feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't even frown, and stepped into the room.
The strange thing is that, as the archbishop of Blaise, Sonny didn't put on any vigilant posture in the face of such death, and even showed a bit of respect.
This is a large room, and it is very cold inside. All the furnishings are covered with a dull color under the infestation of death air. There are no plants to be seen here, only a deep death air.
There are many gauze curtains hanging in the room. There is no wind at this time, but the curtains are slowly floating, like ghosts dancing in the dark night.
"Sonny." An old hoarse voice suddenly sounded, with a creepy coldness.
The sound echoed in the room, intertwined repeatedly, making it difficult to tell where it came from for a while.
Sonny was not surprised by such a voice, instead a smile appeared on his usually serious face: "My lord."
This is the adult's exclusive nickname when calling him.
"Hehehe... come here, my little Sonny."
After the voice fell, the gauze curtains in one direction automatically opened towards the two sides, indicating the route for Sonny.
"Yes." Sonny calmly walked in the direction of the opening of the gauze curtain.
At the end of the road is still a hanging gauze curtain, but this time, behind the gauze curtain is a blurry figure. The figure seems to be somewhat transparent, and the decorations behind him can be vaguely seen through his body.
After walking here, the resentment and death in the air became more intense, staining the air with a deep gray. Obviously the source of the death was the figure in front of him.
This turned out to be a resentful soul.
In the capital of Blaise, where the security is the most heavily guarded, there is actually a powerful undead hidden underground. Moreover, this undead is also very close to the high-ranking archbishop.
This is simply a great irony of God.
The resentful soul floated in the air, chanting softly in a hoarse voice: "Our world is false, and the so-called god is just a man-made illusion. Only by finding the key to the real kingdom of God can we break through the illusory world. Appearances, access to the real world…”
Sonny stood there respectfully, listening to the disrespectful words uttered by the resentful soul, but he, who has always strictly followed the doctrine, was not unhappy at all, and was even more respectful than when facing God.
"Heh heh heh heh... Will little Sonny feel impatient after listening to my nagging again?" asked a hoarse voice.
Sonny bowed deeply to the resentful soul in front of him: "No, it is the greatest honor and happiness in my life to listen to your teachings. If it were not for your guidance, I would live in ignorance and ignorance all my life. .”
"Hehe, as expected of Sonny, you have been a good boy since you were a child, and you are also the most talented of this generation." There was some approval in the hoarse voice, "Tell me, what happened this time? If it's just a trivial matter, It shouldn't make you come to see me in person at the risk of being exposed, right?"
Sonny went forward with his head down, and presented the secret report on the Dreamer's Book sent earlier with both hands, and returned it respectfully after the other party took it.
During the whole process, he controlled his gaze to the ground, because the grown-up didn't like to be looked at directly by anyone, including Sonny, who was raised by him since he was a child.
"Hehehe... Greata... such a long name..." The resentful soul behind the curtain just let out a chuckle after reading the secret report.
Sonny: "My lord, will this have any effect on you?"
Wraith asked: "Did you find anything at the scene?"
Sanick said: "There are a lot of traces of fire magic and sword marks. It is speculated that they should be caused by mages and swordsmen. The number of people is still unknown."
Resentful soul: "There are no traces of death energy erosion?"
Sonny: "No, the damage caused by fire magic is too great, and the air is almost full of fire elements."
"Fire element...then it's not undead." Wraith thought, undead have always disliked dealing with living people, even for mages, there is a big gap between the fire of resentment and the fire magic of living people.
The hoarse voice replied: "An archbishop who has been forgotten by the world has long been powerless to change the current Brace. He has been dead for hundreds of years, and the forces under him have also been wiped out. Even if he is lucky enough to be released, it will not affect anything. .Don't pay too much attention to it, destroy it if you can find it, but don't spend too much effort."
"The most important thing at the moment is our plan. Now is the most critical moment. I will not allow any accidents."
Sonny replied humbly: "Yes, I will make sure things go according to your plan."
The hoarse voice seemed satisfied, and he said: "If the time is too late, I will help you when the time comes."
Sonny couldn't hide his excitement in his tone: "Thank you."
"Hehehehe... back off..."

After finishing the party at Einstein's place, Xiao Zhi returned to his dormitory. Almost impatiently, he directly logged into ZERO.
What appeared in front of him was the ceiling of Frost's room, which had become more and more familiar recently, and the silver-haired figure who was waiting by his side as always.
"You're awake." Frost noticed Xiao Zhi's change immediately, and looked at him quietly with platinum golden eyes.
Xiao Zhi nodded, and then carefully examined Frost.
Frost looked a little inexplicable, so he asked as usual: "What are your plans for today?"
Xiao Zhi grabbed Frost's hand: "Come on, let's play something exciting."
Frost: "...?"
Stimulate
Is there... how exciting
Although he was confused, he still followed Xiao Zhi obediently and came to... the desk.
Xiao Zhi pressed Frost on the chair beside the table, and handed a stack of documents to Frost: "Come on, Lord Lord, let them see how powerful you are."
Frost: "..."
It was a little too exciting, not quite the activity he had imagined.
Frost turned his head to look at Xiao Zhi's firm gaze, and read the words "You can't escape today" from it. As a result, the Lord of Hesse, who had been absent from work for hundreds of years, finally started to process documents again.
Just like students always have to make up their homework before school starts.
Xiao Zhi was not idle either. After watching Frost seriously handle the paperwork, he also immersed himself in the paperwork.
After learning of Blaise's secret movements and the secret about Frost, he always felt that something was pressing in his heart. Before facing the unknown and coming storm, he wanted to make Hesse stronger, stronger, so that Frost would not face danger...
Time passed little by little.
While thinking about the future, Xiao Zhi processed the paperwork at hand, his experience was increasing bit by bit, but the anxiety in his heart still could not be erased.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhi felt his shoulders sink, interrupting his intertwined thoughts, turned his head, and saw Frost's approaching face, and the suddenly clear and bitter woody fragrance.
Xiao Zhi stretched out his hand skillfully to brush Frost's hair, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Frost let him move, and said after a while: "I should be the one who asked you this, Xiaoqi, what's the matter? You seem to be in a hurry, what happened, can't you tell me?"
Xiao Zhi: "..."
He fell into silence suddenly, not knowing how to tell Frost the problem he was facing. Anxiety from two worlds, the secret of overlapping reality and virtuality, what should I say to tell Frost "I suspect you may be a piece of monk meat"? Tell him the world is a game
At this moment, Xiao Zhi felt the weight on his shoulders disappear, and then he embraced him with both hands, and let his head rest on Frost's shoulder.
A deep voice rang in Xiao Zhi's ear: "It's okay, I'm here."
Frost imitated Xiao Zhi's movements, gently stroking his back, with a sense of comfort.
Xiao Zhi leaned against Frost's arms, wrapped in a familiar atmosphere, and his heart gradually settled down.
He seemed to be too eager before, no matter what dangers were waiting in the dark, but at this moment, the worst situation he expected has not happened at all, and things are far from the worst.
Even without Xiao Zhi back then, Frost could have escaped from Brace alone.
If the danger comes again, even if Blaise becomes stronger, Frost is not as ignorant as before, and there are so many undead from Xiao Zhi and Hessen, there is no reason for them to lose easily .
Xiao Zhi leaned on Frost's shoulder, and slowly showed a relieved smile: "A Sen, there may be a big secret hidden in you, which is related to Noah Pei."
Frost thought for a moment: "Secret... I don't remember."
The memories related to that old man have disappeared into his mind along with the seal. He can only recall a little bit of warmth and kindness from the remaining fragments, but he can't remember the secret at all.
Xiao Zhi raised his head and looked at him seriously: "Yes, but even if you don't remember, people who are interested in this secret will still not let you go."
Xiao Zhi stretched out his hand and gently held Frost's face: "Promise me, you must be careful during this time."
Frost showed Xiao Zhi a comforting smile, gently held his hand, and rubbed his cheek: "Okay."
·
After calming down, Xiao Zhi continued to devote himself to the construction work of Hessen.
The first area of the trade area is already full. Although the second area has been opened recently, it still cannot accommodate the steady stream of visitors. Compared with the whole of Hesse, the two trade areas are still too small and urgently need to be expanded again.
The cooperation with Yuanzu and Dolly Alliance is getting smoother and smoother. With Yuanzu joining, it is probably because of the emotional relationship. The profiteers of Dolly Alliance have even restrained a little bit, so that the progress of cooperation is advancing quickly. .
With the addition of new players, the undead special sightseeing project has become popular again, and the originally planned route seems a bit insufficient.
Xiao Zhi plans to use Hesse's superior resources to organize haunted house tours. He can guarantee that this will be the only haunted house in the whole mainland that dares to use real ghosts. It will definitely be exciting enough to scare tourists away crying.
But pay a little attention, you must first tell the tourists not to attack the staff in the haunted house, otherwise you may get the opportunity to join Hesse directly.
The young money-making genius Teague took the time to develop the gaming industry and lottery games during his spare time as a diplomat. Xiao Zhi immediately approved the plan after seeing the plan, and quickly allocated funds for construction.
This time the tourists' wallets were even more shriveled, and countless golden shells rushed to the treasury, as if the floodgates had been opened to release water.
Seeing the increased figures in the treasury, Xiao Zhi felt very satisfied.
Sure enough, it was the right choice to bring Tigger into Hessen. Such a talent can't find a way to rise in the Dolly League. I really don't know whether Teague has more regrets or the Dolly League has more losses.
With enough money, the speed of upgrading equipment for the undead can be accelerated.
At this time, Hessen looks like a thriving scene, but what Hessen lacks is time, and it would be great if there is enough time for development.
·
Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Zhi also handed over the soul chaser and the required upgrade materials to Da Zhuangzhuang, and built an exclusive high-level forging room for him. Now Hessen is not short of money, and all kinds of support There are all kinds of materials, which are more advanced than the ones rented in Chiba country before.
Da Zhuang Zhuang rolled happily in the air, and hugged the fire of Inahiri and the dream of Xilia madly, looking extremely happy.
After rubbing enough, Da Zhuang Zhuang turned his head to Xiao Zhi and said solemnly: "Don't worry, boss! I will definitely let the soul chaser bloom his own light."
It looked at the soul chaser lying quietly on the casting platform, with nostalgia in its eyes: "Originally, it should be a weapon that stands at the pinnacle of the world."
Da Zhuangzhuang clenched his little fist: "Master, I will definitely fulfill your wish..."
At this moment, its small figure wearing a baggy old man's vest suddenly took on the demeanor of a master.
Da Zhuang Zhuang is in retreat, because the difficulty of the last promotion of the Soul Chaser is very high, and it only exists in the plan with Master Baru Qiang, there is a lot of uncertainty, Da Zhuang Zhuang must use all his energy to complete it it.
·
After bidding farewell to Da Zhuangzhuang, Xiao Zhi walked back to the Hall of Bones. Because the casting room might explode, it was built in a place away from the crowd.
Feeling a little bored on the way, Xiao Zhi took out his address book and paid attention to the world after a long absence.
Stimulated by the news of the discovery of new galaxies, the name of the greatest genius in human history has once again resounded. There are many more people who are curious about Noah Pei's games. Just like Li Daye said, the influx of new players has brought ZERO's online number to a new high.
At this time, the World Channel has a lot more news than usual.
Some of them are surprised by the game:
"This is an old game from 600 years ago?! I always thought that my grandfather was playing an old-fashioned old game, and the screen must not be seen, but... I really didn't time travel??"
"Me too. The first second I came in, I was scared to death! Such a big tiger jumped at me with its mouth open, without taking a breath, and sent me away in one bite."
"Fuck! Why are there bugs growing in the grass?! There are still so many?"
"There are bugs in the grass."
"I know! But...is it necessary for a game to be so realistic??"
In addition, there were a lot of speeches, which seemed to be exclusive to newcomers, which made old players have a lot of fun.
"Ah, why is such a beautiful young lady from the Xiyue Clan a liar!! I don't even have big underpants, so is it useful to call the police??"
"Xi Yue clan, hahahahahaha!!! Is Yan Kong cured?"
"It's probably useless in the Dolly League. The liars here are already at the top of the continent."
"Congratulations to you boy, the start is a difficult mode."
"Bosses, why did I go offline and have a meal on the street of Hilaris, and after I went online, I appeared in the mine and asked me to mine? Is this some kind of hidden mission?"
"Hey, the Xiyue clan completed the second kill so quickly today."
And some more just…
"I just saw a mermaid at the beach, and it can sing!!! I'm going to take one home!!!"
"Wait for the one above... that should be a Yuan Clan..."
"Fuck me!!!!!! Mermaids are so fierce!!! Tridents hurt so much!! Ahhh I'm dead..."
Xiao Zhi's mouth twitched slightly: "..."
600 years later, the players' operations are still so familiar, and there is no difference from 600 years ago.
The essence of human beings is indeed a repeater.
