Chapter 40: Cherish Life

Generally speaking, players gain experience for exploring new maps, and the first one to explore will have a unique material reward. The World Tree is also a mini-map, and there are also rewards. Qingyi was determined to climb to the top of the tree to have a look, but after climbing a few steps, he saw the Bagua Sect Master coming down from the top of the tree, and a round bird egg was tied to his waist with a rope.

The gossip sect leader didn't wear much, but he shivered twice at most, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to freeze to death. He picked at the edge of the bark with one hand, held the bird's egg with the other, and spewed white vapor in a thief's mouth: "The map reward is this, hiss...... Do you want? ”

Qingyi nodded stupidly.

"This thing is good, I'll sell it for money." The gossip leader clicked his mouth and climbed down, his movements extremely flexible. Qingyi scolded secretly, and had no choice but to go down.

Coming down from a tree is much more thrilling than climbing. At a glance, it is full of soul fire, blue dazzling eyes, these leaves are high and low, not to mention the high, the low one may not be able to offset the momentum of their own jump. In addition, I am afraid that no one dares to jump down at this height, even if the foothold is really calculated, it is likely to be blown out by the long wind for a few miles when the jump is made. Therefore, Qingyi moved very conservatively from branch to branch, and rested at the Grim Reaper halfway before continuing to climb down.

After the World Tree was created, the birds were all overjoyed and chose their favorite location on the tree to build their nests. From here, you can see the intuitive expression of the different levels of Warcraft: the Rotten Vulture is a low-level Warcraft, and can only live in the lowest layer of the canopy, that is, at a height of 700-800 meters; The Silent Raven and the Night Peregrine Falcon occupy 800-1,000 meters high. If it is a small boss, it can also occupy a sheltered position, and there will be no similar nesting within 20 meters around, which can be called a mansion in a bird's nest.

As soon as Jack died, all the plant monsters, bird monsters and insect monsters were liberated, and all of them expressed their loyalty to Qingyi. In addition, there are two new species in the "City of Waiting", one is the zombie monkey that only lives on the World Tree (Maple, you know), although the attack power is not high, but it is really annoying, you can see them everywhere, and the worst thing is that they like to put banana peels on the mushrooms and tree trunks (God knows where they came from), which makes climbers have frequent accidents; Another new species is the high-level Warcraft Skyweb Spider, which is snow-white, with simple and smooth lines comparable to concept cars, and is so huge that the average size of an individual is a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and the length of each leg is an astonishing three meters. They don't like to form nets, and the reason why they are called "Skynet" is because their intelligence is terrifyingly high, and when connected to each other's soul wavelengths, they can form a complex mental system, which is enough to solve many complex calculations, which is very similar to the Skynet system in "Terminator". By the way, Skyweb spiders are also semi-undead creatures.

There has been a new step forward in the work that Walterpole is responsible for. Players bring back the corpses of the Sea Monsters that have been killed, and they are billed according to their level. These corpses were thrown under the World Tree, and the conversion success rate was as high as 99.9%, and they were immediately a new life that was alive and kicking. They will be stocked in the Sea of Bones to take over the patrols of Ghost Hounds and Ghost Wolves. The Sea of Bones is a moat, and in Qingyi's vision, once these ferocious marine monsters are added, the "City of Waiting" will be enough to resist all invading enemies. Speaking of which, the influence of the Starlight Ocean and the Blackstone Valley is a two-way street, and although the sea water pours into the sea of bones, the coast is also infected with dead air, forming a sea full of floating objects, which is one of the rarer types in the Necronomicon Paradise: minced flesh waters. The taste of the water is a little salty and bitter, similar to ordinary seawater, but the fishy smell is much heavier, as if the sea god took dozens of tons of salted fish to cook soup.

The internal problem was solved, and Qingyi's mind was lifted. Next, it's time to solve the external problems.

Temporary Heresy Search Department.

Today's operation failed. In the evening, a group of necromancers came out halfway and laid down a [dark canopy] to cover the retreat of the necromantic creatures. As it was already dark, the Knights of the Iron Hoof were afraid that they would encounter an ambush if they continued to track, so they had to return home.

At this point, Oliver Quinn stood on the terrace, quietly admiring the moonlight, as if the failure of the operation was not worth mentioning to him. He's a guy who takes music theory with him in his every move, and when he's quiet, you can't really feel his presence. His metal wrench reflected the clear light under the moon, like a lover's eyes.

Jonny, on the other hand, was not as good as his companions, and he stayed in his room and prayed silently. In today's battle, he was hit hard. When Perls cast the spell, a powerful pull enveloped his heart, as if to snatch something rooted in his flesh. He survived by reciting the teachings in time, but he was also dizzy and lost seventy percent of his combat strength, so that he did not perform well in today's battle. His subordinates hid from him, because everyone knew that if the regimental commander did not perform well, he would not be able to kill many heretics, and if he could not kill many heretics, he would be in a bad mood, and if he was in a bad mood, he would be angry with them, and if he was angry with them...... They will be miserable.

"Oliver."

"Huh?"

"You're a student of Lancelot, and you can speak well in the army, can you?"

"You want to mobilize the army? I'm afraid not. In this operation, I was appointed as a prosecutor on a temporary basis, with the most I could do to mobilize the City Guard. The teacher doesn't have any position, and even he can't do it at will. Remember, this isn't Seruvega. ”

"I need the army."

"Tomorrow I will submit a bill to Your Majesty, I think General Scott must be very interested. Why don't you look for bald eagles? ”

"Bald Eagle is a miser, he will never give me troops, and I don't want to hear him talk nonsense. General Scott is the Scott Thornmas, nicknamed 'The Evil Eye'? ”

"Hmm."

"It's not bad to have a chance to meet him."

"It's easy to go astray if you blindly pursue power, that's what my teacher told me."

"That's your teacher, not my teacher. The instructor said that being strong means that no one can hurt you. ”

"It doesn't matter. You and I don't have a common language in the first place. ”

"Nonsense."

After having dinner at Mrs. Green's house, Qingyi went online and walked into the City Lord's Mansion. He came to the nursery and transformed into a human as soon as he stepped through the door. He didn't know how long it had been since he had appeared in human form.

The baby Anniegil fell asleep in the cradle, unaware of the arrival of the Bone Tyrant. Qingyi sat down slowly, stretched out her right hand, and carefully stroked the baby's little face. For some reason, Annikill's body temperature is lower than that of ordinary people, and there is only a trace of warmth to the touch, but if you look at the attributes alone, he is still "human".

"Life is the most precious thing, why don't I respect it?" Qingyi muttered to himself.

Xue Duo took the opportunity to say: "Host! You also heard what the teacher said, live according to your own will! In that case, wouldn't it be nice if you didn't expand? It's not your intention to kill people anyway! ”

Unexpectedly, it was too loud and woke up Anigil. Qingyi hurriedly picked up the baby and said continuously: "Baby, don't cry, don't cry, oh coo, hey, that's it, oh coo...... Xue Duo, be quiet! It is true that it was not my intention to kill, but it is a necessary means. ”

"Necessary?!"

"That's right. You tell me to stop expanding, but war is never a one-man thing. After strangling hundreds of thousands of people in Russia, Stalin would have agreed? Ah, sorry, you don't understand this example...... After the otherworldly creatures have slaughtered the people of all continents, even if we declare that we will not touch your national artifact, will we be grateful to you? It's the same now, there is a real fire between me and the bald eagle, and it can't be stopped. ”

Qingyi sighed and said, "I need resources, I need wealth, I need soldiers, I need everything that will help build the Twilight Empire, otherwise, the Twilight Empire will become history within a week." For this, I must continue to kill. ”

Xue Duo cut off: "After all, you are still a murderer, and your nature is to love killing." ”

"I didn't say I was a normal person." Qingyi squeezed his eyes. He said: "Ah, what I want most now is that the Dusk Empire can be recognized by the countries of the continent for its status and sovereignty. Xue Duo, are you afraid that when I become stronger, I will pose a threat to your otherworldly creatures? ”

"Huh?" Xue Duo was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Uncle Ben is afraid of you!" If you have the ability, go and fight, and make sure that you are beaten to pieces by the leader! ”

"I'm serious, Xue Duo." Qingyi smiled and said, "For your sake, as long as the otherworldly creatures don't come to infringe on my interests, I won't be your enemy." ”

"Uh...... Unexpectedly, Uncle Ben's face is really big. ”

Qingyi's eyes softened rarely. He gently put Anigill back in the cradle and said, "I feel the need for me to respect life. From now on, I will not fight meaningless wars, but try to minimize the number of dead and wounded. ”

"This is not what the Necromantic King should say, the old fellow of the Eternal Emperor should be disappointed when he hears it." Xue Duo said with a smile.

"Someone else is someone else, I'm me, and I can't be mixed up."

Qingyi covered the quilt for Ani Gir: "When I saw this child, I remembered the events of the moment, they were so close that it was like it happened yesterday." Hegel, the Wolf King, Plato, the Sacrifice of Death, the Gluttonous Queen, Descartes, the Royal Assassin Leader, St. Augustine, the Captain of the Guard, the Fire-Eyed Witch, the Haze Archer Nietzsche, and Zeno, the 'Perfect Defender'...... Suddenly I missed them. I still remember Zeno's question......"

……………………………………………………

"Wrapped in the national flag, this is the fate of a soldier." Even though he could meet the god of souls at any time, Zeno still maintained his majesty. He looked up at Qingyi, his eyes blazing: "Tell me, young man, what do you think of life?" ”

"Life ......"

Qingyi's expression was a little strange: "It is the most cherished thing, because once you lose it, you can't get it back." ”

"yes...... Under the misconception of the world, we undead creatures are heinous dark garbage, filthy monsters that should not appear...... But who knows that we are actually the most eager to live, and we are the ones who cherish life the most? If we are willing to die and fall into eternal sleep, if we are willing to abandon all good things, why should we be resurrected again? ”

Zeno recited a few incantations, and the muffled sound of the stone slabs on the ground moved away, and a narrow deep doorway appeared, and a crisp cry came from inside, with echoes lingering.

Is there still a place that hasn't been scanned? Could it be that this tunnel can isolate reconnaissance skills? Qing Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately scanned the doorway with his [Soul Eye], and found an insignificant, but vigorous and powerful red soul fire. He immediately turned his head and asked, "This baby?" ……”

"The only human to survive after the 'Doomsday Confrontation...... The only Sala Monroe descent, the only ...... I hope you can cherish life as you say......"

……………………………………………………

What kind of mentality did I have when I answered him? Do I really understand the meaning of 'life' as deeply as I do now? It should be said that we necromantic creatures are naturally selfish species and only cherish our own lives from beginning to end. But I think we can change, we should change. Necromantic beings are also capable of mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness for others. ”

Xue Duo sneered: "Come on, you let the lion eat vegetarian from now on and the bison eat meat from now on, can you change it?" ”

Qingyi shrugged: "Cats like to eat fish and mice, but pet cats like to eat cat food, isn't this a change?" Ahem, ahem, I'll just do it. ”

He looked at Anigil tenderly. The little baby sucks his fingers and smiles very sweetly. It's just that the lady who had been taking care of him had left him forever. Thankfully, he was not yet old enough to know how to grieve.

"Time has changed, it's been a few years...... Qingyi sighed, and then slammed a spirit: "It's not right! After the 'Doomsday Confrontation' is the 'lost five years', a full five years, why hasn't Anniegill grown up?! ”
