"First, withdraw from Colossus City. The Human Alliance and the people of Mystic Heritage will jointly investigate this place. After the cleanup is completed, one of our deacons will re-establish a Mystic Heritage branch to maintain the city and continue to eliminate negative influences. As compensation... We will not pursue the remnants of the Inquisitor and can let them leave the city safely."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You guys created such a mess with the zombie city lord in Colossus City, and you still want to come back to this city to recruit your followers? Are you kidding me! How dare you say that!"
The opponent came up with a royal bomb, which made Cheng Shaofeng unable to help but curse.
He couldn't be so angry if any other heritage or organization came to claim the city.
The zombie city lord has been conducting experiments in the city for so many years, killing countless humans with extraordinary potential. If the bishop of the Crusaders' branch had not been involved, if any of the Crusaders had been able to take care of things, the Human Alliance would have killed a mere fourth-order zombie long ago. How could they have tolerated him conducting experiments until today
A heritage that committed such a heinous crime actually has the nerve to say it wants to take back this city!
Not to mention that according to his and the special forces' plan, Colossus City will become an important part of the main base in the future.
Whether out of justice or out of his own interests, Cheng Shaofeng would never agree to this request.
"Hehe~ Little brother Shadow King, first of all, you have to understand that the reason why I can sit down and talk with you is because the Human Alliance gave you this opportunity. Otherwise... do you really think that you, a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers, can really compete with our huge mysterious inheritance?"
"You have to remember that these three demands are my compromise with the Human Alliance, not your compromise with me. You don't really think that the "Strongest Human Treaty" can protect you for the rest of your life, do you? You... can't be that naive, right?"
"In three days, our people will enter the Colossus City. Evacuate all your people. Otherwise... you will lose more than just those two Tier 4 professionals."
"If there are no questions, I will continue and say that there are only two requirements left."
Oh shit!
Cheng Shaofeng clenched his fists!
Zhao Hongwu's words were a naked disdain for him!
And... a threat!
Could it be that the treaty he knew could not restrict Zhao Hongwu
'That's right... Even if it's the Human Alliance, it's impossible to keep an eye on every place in the world. If he secretly attacks me when no one is paying attention, I won't be able to hide... Even more ruthless, he can even kill everyone who sees him attack. The mysterious person is best at this!'
Depend on!
It's easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark!
Cheng Shaofeng had no choice but to patiently listen to his next request.
"Second, I noticed... your soldiers can master two inherited skills at a low level, and can master more inherited skills at the fourth level. This is a very unique ability. Combined with your skill seals... it will greatly improve the progress of the human supernatural system. I need you to give me this secret."
"Third, Wang Chou will accept my baptism and become a mysterious inheritor. From now on, he will sever all ties with your natural disaster base and officially join my mysterious inheritance. Your people should not come to him again in the future."
"Um?"
Cheng Shaofeng had already guessed the second condition. Both his player and shadow guard showed different characteristics from other inheritors, and their skill systems were very rich. As long as the opponent was not stupid, he would definitely ask for this ability.
But... what the hell is the third condition? The player 'Clown King' is actually favored by him
baptism
What does it mean
Cheng Shaofeng didn't care about this condition. After all, the characteristics of players determined that they would stand on his side no matter what. Anyone who dared to rebel would have his network cable unplugged.
Besides... isn't this equivalent to sending him a spy for free
He thought he wouldn't be able to contact the Clown King if he couldn't see him, but... players can chat offline!
"Well... I can agree to the third one, but I can't show it too obviously, or else people will see through me."
"Regarding your second request... I'm sorry I can't meet it, because this is the talent of our people. We are born with the ability to practice two inheritances. There is no other way. Of course, if you want to obtain it... maybe you can try some genetic science, such as leaving Zhao Sisi in our base for a week, and then bring her back when she is fully infused..."
"Hmph! You sharp-tongued brat, you only know how to talk! But... tribe talent? I have indeed seen similar talents in the library of Duoyu Academy, but they are extremely rare. I didn't expect that your tribe collectively possesses them..."
Zhao Hongwu shook his head.
"In that case, then the second request will be to make 100,000 of your unengraved skill seals and send them to us."
100,000!
Grass!
Lao Bi, wait!
Although it only consumes 10 points of crystal energy and a small amount of biological raw materials to make a seal, but these 100,000 seals will cost him 1 million crystal energy!
A lot of money!
Cheng Shaofeng had already thought of what he was going to do with it. He would definitely engrave the mysterious skills and send them to the branches of the mysterious inheritance in various places. In this way, their people could learn the skills by watching the engraving, saving a lot of teachers.
This thing is a rare treasure whether it is for mystery or other inheritance!
Moreover... Cheng Shaofeng vaguely realized from Zhao Hongwu's previous narration about the situation where the mysterious inheritance was divided into two factions... Zhao Hongwu belonged to the non-Dregg faction. The people of their faction did not learn skills from Dregg's dreams, but relied entirely on the teacher's instruction and their own comprehension, so the learning progress was much slower!
And he obtained a skill seal that allows him to watch and record skills repeatedly in 360 degrees without blind spots, so his learning speed will increase a lot. For their faction... it is a huge improvement.
Cheng Shaofeng sighed.
"Okay... I can agree to your second request, but the third one... absolutely not! Our soldiers are absolutely loyal to the base, and we will not abandon any of them!"
Pah!
Zhao Hongwu clapped his hands and said, "Very good, you are a lord with blood, but unfortunately... I have already told you that you have no room for bargaining on these three requirements. I will decide for you, Wang Chou."
"hateful!"
Cheng Shaofeng looked furious but unable to explode, which made Zhao Hongwu's mouth curl up slightly.
No one can change the person he wants.
The angrier Cheng Shaofeng was, the happier he was!
Who can resist the current crime
"Hehehe~ After you complete my three requests, the Mystic Heritage will reach a reconciliation with you. I hope you will take care of yourself and not do anything that will ruin your future."
Cheng Shaofeng sighed and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you ask for our ability to revive?"
Zhao Hongwu: "Young man, everything in this world... has a price. When you master the power of evil, you must be careful of its backlash. The stronger the power, the greater the backlash..."
Pah~
After the voice call was disconnected, Cheng Shaofeng fell into deep thought.
"Price?"
Cheng Shaofeng thought of a post Mo Ming had posted yesterday, which described in detail how the fourth-rank envoy of the Oath-Keeping inheritance went to cause trouble for them but was abused in return.
"That messenger also said that the ability to resurrect was given by the ancient gods. It seems that someone once gained this ability, but ended up in a miserable way..."
"But this has nothing to do with my Scourge base, right?"
"Zero Zero, why are the players resurrected? What's the mechanism? Is it related to the ancient gods?"
Zero: "Master, the resurrection of clones is the most advanced technology in the world. It is normal that ordinary people cannot understand it. There are no creatures or consciousness involved in the resurrection. Please rest assured."
"Oh... That's good."
"The strong men in this world seem to know something, but they are still far from the level of the Scourge Base... Perhaps only the Duoyu Academy, which is said to have the most advanced human technology, can truly understand the secrets of the Scourge Base."
Even a fifth-level domain master still cannot understand the function of the natural disaster base. As long as Cheng Shaofeng does not have a head-on contact with him, he does not have to worry about being exposed.
but...
"Are we just going to give them the fucking Colossus? I'm so fucking angry!"
I absolutely don't want to give it, but if I don't give it... the threat of a fifth-level domainer is difficult to counter.
Just when Cheng Shaofeng was struggling, he received news from the player trapped in the dungeon.
Xigou: "My Lord, I'm out! The people guarding us asked me to inform you to go to the Human Alliance headquarters for questioning."
Shadow Guard Lord 2: "Okay, I understand..."
Before one crisis is over, another crisis arises.
Human Alliance!
The most powerful of all human organizations, an organization that formulates rules for human supernatural beings, resists alien invasions, and maintains human peace!
The administrative management of each city is only responsible for managing ordinary people and low-level extraordinary people. Only the Human Alliance is the organization that truly affects the fate of mankind.
Among them is Alliance Leader Thirteen, who is known as the strongest human being.
One person can suppress all the fifth-level domain masters of the inheritance and ascend to the throne of the leader with absolute force.
Cheng Shaofeng felt extremely stressed just thinking about it!
"No, my Shadow Guard must not go there. If the other party can counter my fourth-level talent and find my real body through the Shadow Guard, then it will be over..."
"I need to find a reliable player to go for me..."
He looked at his smartwatch and glanced at the list of players in Central City...
"Oh my diplomats, it's your turn!"
... ...
Iron Scorpion City.
Located 300 kilometers west of Hongcheng, the city is on the edge of the jungle.
A little further west is the endless desert.
But the desert in the wasteland... is different from the desert on Earth. It is no longer covered with yellow sand, but... a lot of strange plants grow there, and a large number of mutant creatures walk in it. After the yellow sand flies over, circles of various energies float in the air, of which green energy occupies the majority!
Green is acidic energy, which gave rise to a large number of poisonous mutant insects in the desert.
The most numerous among them are the Iron Scorpions!
There are Iron Scorpions from level 0 to level 3!
It has extremely strong physical defense capabilities, and its toxic damage is extremely high. If stung by it, even a human transcendent at a higher level will be poisoned and pass out.
But this iron scorpion is a great tonic for those extraordinary people who practice acidic energy. Eating it is just like directly absorbing a crystal!
The mysterious inheritance has many skills for cultivating acidic energy, and here... naturally, it was also taken down by the mysterious inheritance.
Several special plants in the jungle can provide a large amount of carbohydrate food, and there are also various wild high-protein insects, so there is naturally no shortage of food in the city.
The Christian church has developed very well in this geographically advantageous city, and almost half of the people in the city are church believers.
Lelouch Warner, the bishop of the Iron Scorpion Castle branch church, is a middle-aged man with brown skin and a strength as high as the fourth level!
He is one of the most powerful bishops in the branch church.
He could have returned to Central City to take up a higher position, but he had a strong attachment to the land and said he could smell the scent of his ancestors' hometown.
Moreover, after Lelouch Warner was promoted to a fourth-level professional, the first skill he created was inspired by the Desert Iron Scorpion. Although it was only a blue skill that only appeared once in a decade, he was very satisfied with it!
His second secret ball skill was intended to be observed and deduced from jungle insects.
Warner had someone prepare some food that insects like to eat today. Just as he was about to go out to the jungle, he heard many clear bird calls in the sky.
┗|｀O′|┛Ah~~
┗|｀O′|┛Ah~~
┗|｀O′|┛Ah~~
A group of huge white birds like geese were circling over the city.
"Bad luck! The damn bird will scare away my bugs!"
"If you can make so much noise, why don't you go to the southern battlefield to scare the Zerg!"
"Shift!"
But he couldn't fly either, so he could only angrily raise his middle finger to the sky.
Then continue walking into the jungle, hoping to find some insects that are not frightened.
But after taking a few steps, he felt something was wrong...
Turning around, I saw dozens of big birds in the sky descending towards Iron Scorpion City!
I could vaguely see some black spots moving on the bird's body.
"Hmm? Someone?"
"Hellhound! Come to me!"
He threw away the box of insect feeders and rode the hellhound back to the city quickly.
At this time, as the big birds landed quickly, the extraordinary people in the city also ran out and stood on the high-rise buildings to watch.
Some people even discussed whether to catch a game to roast that night.
But as it landed, the huge size of the blue bird brought a huge sense of oppression, which scared some low-level extraordinary people so much that they began to look for cover, fearing that a gust of wind would blow them away.
At this time, the birds landed on the top of the only 16-story building in the entire city.
Mo Ming, Riben Guizi, Daji and others jumped down and looked around the city.
He shouted, "Where are the people from the Cross Church!?"
"Who are you? What are you doing in Iron Scorpion City?"
Warner rode his hellhound directly onto a shorter building nearby and asked with a vigilant look on his face.
Mo Ming laughed: "There are Indians in this game? As the first brown-skinned NPC I've seen, you seem a bit weak."
Warner frowned.
"I am Warner, the bishop of the Iron Scorpion City branch of the Cross Church, and the candidate for the Grand Deacon of the Mysterious Heritage Headquarters. Who... are you?"
More and more members of the Cross Church rushed over from below, stood behind Warner, and looked up at the dozens of blue birds and hundreds of players.
Even if they did nothing, the enormous pressure had already filled everyone up.
Riben Guizi: "We? We are the messengers who came to liberate the city! From today on, Iron Scorpion City will be free from the control of the Crusaders and become the territory of us free men!"
"All of you, lay down your weapons and surrender!"
Whoosh whoosh~
Under the clear sky, a huge dark cloud formed above the players' heads. Strong winds blew up everyone's clothes, and shadows fell on the faces of all the members of the Cross Church.
