it's dark.
Ning Tao rode a Pegasus out of the city alone, taking advantage of the night to run towards the west.
Twenty miles to the west, a village appeared at the end of the road.
There were no lights in the village, and it was pitch dark. The roofs of some houses were broken, and shrubs and weeds even grew on some roofs. Some houses had completely fallen to the ground, a scene of decay.
That village was the place where Arisias had arranged to meet. Ning Tao took a look with his Sky Eye and determined Arisias's location with just one glance. Then he ended his Sky Eye state and rode a Pegasus into the village.
Arisias indeed came alone. Apart from some insects and small animals, he and Arisias were the only ones in this abandoned village.
Tianma soon arrived at the center of the village, which was a drying ground for drying grains. However, because it had been abandoned for too long, the drying ground was also covered with weeds.
A bonfire suddenly lit up, and the blazing light dispersed the darkness that shrouded the sunbathing area.
Sitting next to the bonfire was a huge celestial being. Even when he was sitting, he was almost as tall as Ning Tao. Her long golden hair was tied up with a red ribbon and stood up toward the sky, giving people a full-of-personality impression. What he wore was not ordinary fairy armor, but a bloody cloak. The cloak was densely covered with runes, and it looked like an extraordinary cassock cloak.
Without exception, there is a short skirt under the cloak. I don't know if there are holes in the back of the skirt, but his long tail is raised in the air, and a ball of golden hair at the end reflects the firelight, like a mature man. Same as corn silk.
This celestial being is Arisias, the immortal leader of the Skeleton Corps.
Ning Tao got off the Pegasus and walked towards Arisias calmly.
Alisias stood up, and his height suddenly became terrifying, more than three meters tall. The lines formed by the explosive muscle groups all over the body are extremely rough, like a humanoid beast.
Standing in front of him, Ning Tao was a full third shorter in height, and his body looked extremely thin. Naturally, his aura was not comparable to that of Ning Tao, who was extremely weak.
Not for anything else, just because he looks like Lin Shishan now.
"City Lord Lin, you really kept your word and didn't come with any entourage." Arisias said.
Ning Tao said: "Immortal Arisias, aren't you here alone? Since we are going to form an alliance, we must both show sincerity. You see, I am very sincere."
"It's not an alliance, it's a submission." Arisias deliberately emphasized this point.
Ning Tao smiled: "Whether we form an alliance or surrender, from now on everyone will be ministers of the Kingdom of Heaven, that is, people on the same boat, so why bother about these things."
Arisias said: "Some things are better to be explained clearly first."
Ning Tao didn't argue with him, he walked directly to the campfire and found a clean place to sit down.
Arisias also sat down, staring straight at Ning Tao with a pair of blue eyes, his eyes sharp.
Did he discover some flaw
Ning Tao was thinking this in his heart, but on his face he calmly picked up a branch, and then started to make a bonfire while saying: "If I had known that the immortal would want to warm up here, I would have brought some game here, oh also There is good wine, and there is a lot of good wine in my house. We eat barbecue and talk about things while drinking good wine. It’s so comfortable.”
"We gods don't drink." Arisias said, his face cold and expressionless.
Ning Tao laughed dryly: "I forgot about this, so let's just talk about business."
"Speak first," Arisias said.
Ning Tao said: "I believe the immortal already knows my conditions, but I want to add something more."
"What?" Arisias frowned slightly.
Ning Tao said: "After surrendering to the Kingdom of Heaven, I will receive a salary of 10,000 immortal gold from the Kingdom of Heaven every month. Personnel changes in Burial Immortal City, appointment of officials, everything is decided by me and no one can interfere."
Arisias snorted coldly: "City Lord Lin, you really have a big appetite. Do you think our heaven is an unlocked treasury? My monthly salary is only five thousand immortal gold, and you actually want ten thousand?"
Ning Tao said tepidly: "Immortal Arisias, I am different from you. I have a city, I also have an Immortal Burial Army, and I have the Buri Dynasty behind me. Do you think the price I offer is high?" Is that enough? I don’t think it’s high at all. I believe that the Immortal King will not be stingy with the salary of 10,000 Immortal Gold.”
"What about taxes?" Arisias looked very unhappy.
Ning Tao said: "Of course it will be tax-free, and it will be tax-free for five hundred years. If you agree, the contract we signed will remain unchanged for five hundred years."
Arisias's voice was cold: "You don't pay a penny in taxes, and the Kingdom of Heaven will give you a salary of 10,000 yuan every month. With your conditions, I don't think you want to be a minister of the Kingdom of Heaven, but want to rely on the Kingdom of Heaven." Become a vassal king with autonomy?"
Ning Tao smiled calmly: "Immortal Arisias, are my conditions too excessive?"
"That's too much!"
Ning Tao still smiled: "However, if you are willing to cooperate with me, we will enter the Great Monument Valley together, and each of us will have half of the treasures inside. I don't need to implement these conditions. It can also be said that I have the conditions to surrender to the Kingdom of Heaven."
"Hahaha..." Arisias laughed.
Ning Tao stopped talking and continued to poke the bonfire with the branch.
The bonfire was burning brightly and he was just bored.
Arisias stopped laughing: "City Lord Lin, you are really secretive. It is a bit different from the information I received. I really made a mistake."
Ning Tao smiled: "If you don't kill yourself for yourself, I'm just trying to get some benefits for myself."
Arisias snorted: "What you want is not a benefit, but a great blessing!"
Ning Tao's heart was moved, but his face remained calm as he said, "What great fortune?"
A sneer appeared on the corner of Arisias's lips: "This trick of yours is of no use to me, so don't waste your efforts anymore."
Ning Tao threw the branch into the fire: "Fairy Arisias, don't forget, that place is still within my control. If my conditions are not met, you will not be able to enter the Great Monument Valley. "
A flash of anger flashed in Arisias's blue eyes.
Ning Tao pretended not to see it, and then said: "I am not afraid if you attack forcefully. Our Immortal Burial Regiment is well-equipped, and we work together as one, and our soldiers work hard. We should have no problem resisting your Skeleton Regiment for a while. And once reinforcements from the Dynasty arrive If you get here, you will never have a chance. Do you know the reputation of Immortal King Buri? That’s troublesome.”
Arisias said coldly: "Are you threatening me?"
Ning Tao smiled calmly: "I am stating the facts. I have what you want in my hands. You don't give me what I want but you ask me to cooperate. Am I that stupid? If you don't want to, I will leave now. If you are willing, then show some sincerity and tell me what is there in the Big Monument Valley and why you want it so much."
Arisias was silent for a moment before saying: "Of course I am sincere, otherwise why would I come here to meet you alone? Well, it doesn't matter if I tell you. There is a stone that fell from the sacred mountain in the Great Monument Valley. There are innate runes in the stone, and the power is boundless. Obtaining the stone is equivalent to receiving a great blessing. "
This statement is similar to the legend that Fox Princess told him, and it doesn't make any sense. Arisias has such bullshit sincerity.
Ning Tao knew this was the case, but he pretended to be excited: "Is that rune related to you heavenly beings?"
Arisias' expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal: "Yes, how do you know?"
Ning Tao smiled: "I guessed it, go on."
Arisias stood up: "That stone is related to our prehistoric ancestors. It has supreme significance and is extremely important to us heavenly beings. There is also a ship there, and there should be a lot of things on it. You can take it when the time comes. Those treasures are enough to fill your desires.”
"A ship?" Ning Tao said in surprise: "What ship?"
Arisias said: "I don't know either. We just deciphered a secret book from the Linggu era a few months ago, but the record about the ship is not clear."
Ning Tao pondered in his mind whether what Arisias said was true or false, and couldn't help but imagine.
a ship
A spaceship from the Linggu era
Or a magic ship like a ghost ship
It seems possible.
Arisias stood up: "City Lord Lin, why are you in a hurry to find out now? I have already shown enough sincerity. It's time for you to express your stance. Open the city gate tonight and let us pass. Let's enter the monument. After the valley, how about your people blocking the perimeter?"
"Tonight?" Ning Tao also stood up, "Of course, no problem. Let's sign a contract first and implement it in black and white."
Arisias suddenly lifted up his cloak, revealing his lower abdomen with eight-pack abs and the short skirt. On the short skirt was a firearm, which was shaped like a starting gun.
Ning Tao pretended to be surprised: "Immortal Arisias, what do you mean?"
Arisias pulled out the firearm weapon with a smile on his face: "Don't be nervous, Lord Lin. Both of us have shown enough sincerity. Before signing the contract, I want to give away this gun that has been with me for many years. For you."
As he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and fired a shot into the sky.
A fist-sized fireball suddenly rose into the sky, and then exploded at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters. In an instant, it ignited with a blinding fire, like a firework.
Fireworks are easy to cool down, but this firework remained in the air for more than ten seconds without extinguishing. It did not stop until it fell to the ground with a series of explosions.
Ning Tao smiled and extended his right hand to Arisias: "This gun is good. Thank you Immortal Arisias for the generous gift. I will also give you a generous gift later."
Arisias did not give him the gun, but smiled: "Hehehehe..."
