The Empire of Twilight, the "City of Waiting". e

The Joint Research Center is a landmark in the city, where the "funeral mold" that terrifies the living is from, and to the dissatisfaction of adventurers, the research center is never open to the public. Only when doing some special tasks (or being guided by someone and not being able to move around freely) can they get a little insight into the building. The security work is so well done that we have to praise the Necromantic Knights stationed in the main roads of the center, they are all personal soldiers of the Chloe family during their lifetimes, they have received the most professional training, and they can carry out their tasks faithfully but with flexibility.

At this time, the two necromantic knights guarding the main 'gate' of the scientific research center suddenly realized it, bowed their heads to a person who was gradually approaching, and stroked their 'chests' with their right hands: "Director, you are back." ”

It was Brian who came. Brian nodded at the two of them, walked through the big 'door', and went directly to the laboratory where the "origin of evil" was being studied.

Outside the lab, a man with a mustache stretches his waist. This man is very distinctive, even if he has a stiff face, he is not serious. He's the Necromancer, Walter 'Bo'le? Karen, who is best at training troops, especially beast troops. When he saw Brian, he whistled and asked with a smile, "Hey, why did you come back so early?" Even if you pee, you can count the seconds! ”

"Necromantic creatures can't excrete 'urine'." Brian smiled slightly, and he picked up the joke of the other party. "How's it going?"

"What else? I'm standing in there like an idler, and I still haven't figured out what I can do. Walter Bowler smiled self-deprecatingly, rubbing his face vigorously, grinning his teeth. Subjectively, he is an animal trainer by profession, and it is indeed difficult for him to study a jar of ink; From an objective point of view, the overall scientific research level of the Twilight Empire is currently low, and it can only be a rare material among the rare materials such as "Origin of Sin".

Brian was about to say something when an exclamation suddenly came from the lab. The two Necromantic Knights hurried inside, and a moment later, carried out a frantically struggling researcher. The researcher's soul fire was all gray and 'cloudy', like a dirt accumulation, and his eyes seemed particularly 'gloomy' and cold, and he looked a little sluggish.

"Oh, another one." Walter 'Bo' watched his colleague away with sympathy.

The "source of sin" is not as devastating to a living thing as the "blood of the worst" or the "blood of the holy", but it pollutes the soul of a person as strongly as the living and the dead. Arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, **...... Anyone who dares to approach the "source of sin" will have the impulse to sin from the bottom of their hearts, lose their rational 'nature', and 'lose' themselves in the seven deadly sins. To date, more than a dozen researchers' souls have been contaminated, and they have been temporarily quarantined and purified.

After a moment's thought, Brian immediately notified the other research groups and 'drawn' personnel from them. He knows everyone in the research center quite well, and the few selected are the most suitable replacements at the moment.

"Director, the 'source of evil' is too difficult to overcome, why don't you put your 'essence' power elsewhere?" Walter Bo' Le was not too busy to enter the lab, so he leaned his back against the wall and chatted with Brian.

"In the entire Dusk Empire, only the 'Origin of Sin' is the most valuable, although it is difficult to conquer, the investment is large, and the research cycle is long, but the rate of return must be the largest." Brian said.

Walter Bohler asked: "If you are in a hurry to come up with new results, why not continue to work on 'combining pure white abomination with big machines'?" ”

In addition to some gadgets (such as "soul potion" and "embryonic body tissue fluid"), the Joint Research Center also has two major directions of research: pure white abomination and large machines. Pure white abomination is a weapon of war whose soul is coded and only knows how to kill when ordered, while large machines are power props that have a lot of effects on siege and defense of cities. At present, the research center has found a way to merge the two into one, and only need to erase the 'spirit' imprint of a high-level necromantic creature to create a pure white abomination with the functions of a large machine. Because these pure white abominations are both gigantic and used in warfare, the research center has figuratively called the project the "War Behemoth Project". According to the tests of a number of researchers, the 'sexuality' of the war monster is very ideal, and if it is officially put into the army, it can increase the victory rate by 10% to 20%.

With such a promising project, and with the support of His Majesty and the military, why doesn't the scientific research center continue its research? This question can only be asked to the top person in charge of the center. Since the project was launched, the biggest resistance (and arguably the only one) has come from Brian.

Brian sighed, already understanding the meaning of Walter's words, but still replied lightly: "Because, I don't want to see high-ranking people lose their lives. ”

He looked at each other sincerely and said, "Look, you are a senior professional, I am also a senior professional, and all the people in the research room are senior professionals. Are you willing to sacrifice our fellow workers to create war behemoths? ”

"Damn, I didn't say I was going to sacrifice you! Everyone is their own people, how can they be sacrificed! Walter Bo was furious: "If you want to die, die those who have nothing to do with us!" High-level necromantic creatures? It's all over the place! ”

The meaning of that sentence just now is just that I hope you can treat others as yourself and consider the feelings of your compatriots. You weigh who should be sacrificed according to the relationship of kinship, but I can't. I can't give this order just at the thought that hundreds of my fellow citizens like me will be killed. ”

"Don't tell me that everyone is equal, that's absolute." Walter Bohler shook his head: "You also do what you think, don't pretend to be so great." If you are sacrificing low-level people, you will definitely not hesitate! ”

Brian's eyes were not 'chaotic' at all, and he replied very happily: "Yes, in my heart, low-level people are indeed inferior to high-level people, because low-level people have no self-mind, and being erased by the 'spirit' spirit brand is almost the same as not erasing, but high-level people are different, they have memories, thoughts, and lives, and if you erase their 'spirit' spirit imprint, it is equivalent to killing them." It is a miracle that the dead can come back to life, so why send death again? ”

Before Walter could think of an answer, Brian whispered, "Indeed, as you said, I also have 'selfish' intentions. I didn't look at the project objectively. I was just a low-level skeleton who could read, unlike you, who were high-level professionals when I was resurrected. I climbed up step by step, and I relied on my own efforts to get to this position, so I have deep sympathy for my middle and lower level compatriots. I will never forget the trembling I felt when I first stepped into the palace, nor the unspeakable feeling when I was promoted by His Majesty, nor the beautiful expectations I had for the future all the time, and there are many other people besides me who have similar feelings to me, but they are going to die because of a rash decision, is it appropriate? ”

"Because of the limitations of national conditions, low-level people have no human rights at all, so they can only be slaughtered by us. If I could, I would like not to interfere with the lives of the low-ranking people. They also have the opportunity to grow into people like you and me, and even become pillars of the country, the question is whether we give them the opportunity or not. ”

Brian grinned, this skeletal face made it impossible to tell whether he was smiling wryly or smiling, only showing a faint meaning: "I'm so naïve, maybe not suitable to be a technical director." ”

Hearing this, Walter 'Bo'le's eyes darkened rarely. He coughed: "That, Director, I've been with you for so long, why didn't I know you had a glass heart?" ”

"We necromantic creatures are supposed to think rationally and have no feelings, aren't we?" Brian replied.

Bigbowo, capital, royal palace.

"The sunshine has arrived at Gille Hills in June? The June sunshine has arrived at Qinli Villa? The king repeated the same sentence and seemed to be a little worried: "Uh...... You say, why does the sunshine arrive at Camphill in June? ”

The Minister of Intelligence, who was standing at his desk, was silent, as if it were a piece of wood wrapped in a black cloth. He knew that although His Majesty was angry, the anger was not directed at him.

"Adventurers are unreliable. Even if they are more powerful than we are, they have no faith to speak of, let alone loyalty to our country. It's not just 'Si Le Bing', you see, the bald eagle and the treasure bag, why aren't they using our country for personal purposes? "Emphasizing the names of the two great gods, it is clear that the king is not happy with the adventurers." As for the 'waves' and sands, let alone those like the 'waves', there is no trace of reverence for the state apparatus, and they will be bought by money at any time! Maybe he'll turn around and turn against us at some point! ”

In the past two days, the king of the Dusk Empire, June Sunshine, secretly came to Gilly Hills, and the Bigbower Intelligence Department was completely unaware of it, and at the same time, the player team "Sloecing", which had a very close relationship with June Sunshine, also did not win. Although most people will tell themselves: Ah, the June Sunshine arrived at Gille Hills by other means, and we have nothing to do with Bigbower; But King Bigbowo blindly trusts his instincts - June Sunshine sneaks across the border and takes a shortcut to Gille Hills, and that's certainly the case, yes!

The Minister of Intelligence continued to remain silent. If he had sent two eyewitness reports of a certain harbor city branch, His Majesty's wrath would have burned on him. At such a time, it is better to let the adventurer bear the blame.

The king took the glass of water, took a big sip, exhaled a long breath, and then said, "You go and withdraw two million gold coins and 'hand' them over to the Knights of the Iron Hoof in a low-key manner." In addition, whatever the Knights of the Iron Hoof want, you will cooperate with the preparation. Act today. ”

"Yes." The Minister of Intelligence nodded and quietly left.
