Chapter 10: The Silent Dead Soul
The fires in Roman City were extinguished, nearly three-fifths of the neighborhood was burned, thousands of people were killed in the fires, and some innocent people were killed in the riots that followed, the total death rate was nearly 10,000, nearly 100,000 people were left homeless, and the property damage was enough to pay taxes for two years.
Inexplicably, the nobles begged the royal family for compensation, and the ministers blamed a freed gladiator, among whom the supreme commander in charge of the city's defense was the most active.
Roman II was furious, especially a certain gladiator who did not know what to do, who had been freed but still wanted to ask for something that should not be claimed, and at least two thousand-man teams paid a heavy price in the battle of the North City Gate.
Fortunately, this lowly slave died by self-immolation, and his body was hung on the city wall to dry, which can be regarded as saving a little bit of royal majesty. Next, in the face of the reparations demanded by the nobility, Roman II did not take it to heart.
In the second half of the year, the country's taxes will be "slightly" raised, and some tax items will be added, which will not only be a loss for the nobles, but also an additional amount of income for the royal family.
As for the losers of the lower classes...... Isn't it already avenged for them? The corpse of the arsonist is still hanging on the city wall, and it is enough to visit it every day to relieve the resentment in your heart, and not to ask too much of your king.
……
Nightshade left Roman City without incident, and is now hiding in a grove on the outskirts of the Royal City to heal his wounds.
Jumping from the city gate, although the precautions were taken in advance, it still cost nearly 50 health points and a leg.
In the Middle Ages, when human exploitation of nature was still in a relatively primitive stage, it was easy to find seven or eight herbs that could heal injuries from the night.
"Reach the activation conditions and obtain the basic skill [Grass and Tree Identification], +1 points! ……”
"Complete the activation conditions, unlock [Herbology], gain 10 knowledge points, and advance to the [Entry] stage."
At the same time, Cangye's [First Aid] skill also gets a promotion hint once, and as long as you get three hints, you can get a [First Aid] skill point.
However, such injuries were still too severe, and as a last resort, Nightnight once again paid 550 experience points to upgrade the Sword Fighter class to level 2.
"Class level up, HP +15! ……”
"Unlock the basic skill [White Blade]! ……”
"Unlock the Reverse Blade! ……”
So, the template of the night became:
Name: Night, Dragon
Race: Human (Soul Wheat)
Class: Level 2 Sword Fighter (29/800)
Attribute column: Strength 5, Constitution 6, Agility 7, Spirit 10, Intelligence 9
Attribute 2: Critical Hit 4, Will 10, Tenacity 4, Haste 4, Dodge 8
Defense Level: 3

Experience points: 434
Property points: 1
Potential points: 8

Special Skill: Personal Seduction
Combat skills: Swift Attack, Waist Slash, Decapitation, Reverse Blade
Knowledge: Killing 10, Domination 80, Swordsmanship 50, Herbology 10
Rank: one
In the second tier of the profession, within the first three levels, you can get the opportunity to unlock skills every time you move up, but you don't get it out of thin air, but you have to go through a certain level of training before you can really unlock it.
[White Blade Capture] is the kung fu of entering the white blade empty-handed, the precondition is that you do not have any weapons in your hand, and the judgment condition is the result of the calculation of the strength and agility value of both the enemy and the enemy plus some deviation values, and the deviation value may be some basic skills, or it may be the influence of props.
In addition, every three class levels are raised, one attribute point will be obtained, and the first level of the class is only one for every five levels, in comparison, it is clear which is stronger and which is weaker.
In addition, Nightfall is actually a profession in the supernatural realm, but as long as you don't leave the Faith Harvest Zone, the rank is always fixed at the first order.
In the short moment of the upgrade just now, Cangye felt a cold gaze coming to him.
The caretaker of this plane has noticed him, and if he shows any more power beyond this plane, the caretaker may take action to obliterate himself.
The sword of Damocles hung above his head at all times, and the night had to be on guard.
The last moment is extremely thrilling, although his physique is not afraid of fire, the explosion of gunpowder can still cause fatal damage to himself.
The Necro Soul carried by Nightshade was a slave from the East, who also had long black hair and was similar in stature to Night.
In the midst of the explosion, Cangye quickly took off his armor and face and put it on the corpse, and threw it into the fire to burn it into charcoal, so that he was equivalent to a dead man in the eyes of the Romans, so as to avoid endless pursuit and killing after he successfully escaped.
However, Cangye was still cautious, and after hiding for three days in a row, he found that there was not much movement in Roman City, and Cangye was relieved to leave after his injuries were healed.
Because of the fact that their physiognomy was too different from that of the Romans, and the status of the Orientals in the Western Continent was completely equal to that of slaves, they did not dare to enter the towns or villages at night, and chose paths along the way.
In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, he killed a random passer-by and scalped him, wearing a golden wig on his head and a wooden mask on his face, which was strange but not treated like an Oriental.
Heading north, Night's goal was the destroyed kingdom of the East. The Eastern Imperial Family has hidden too many secrets, and the Blood Alliance invaders have only dug up some of them, but many more are still buried underground.
From the memory of the Mad Prince, there is a great secret hidden in the underground imperial tomb located on the outskirts of the Imperial City, and the mystery of this secret has reached more than 50, and there may be a way to leave this plane.
Generally speaking, if a person in the harvest area wants to leave this place and go to the wider world, he can only serve a certain god wholeheartedly, and then enter the kingdom of God after death to become a believer or even a heroic spirit, or be exalted by the god exceptionally.
But in doing so, you have to be controlled by the gods for the rest of your life, even after death.
In "Annopoque", the gods are omnipotent, everything is like ants in front of them, even if it is a mythical professional or a demigod, at most it can only kill the projection of the real body, if it is a doppelganger or even a real body, mortals are like grasshoppers shaking the tree, and the gods can be destroyed with a snap of a finger.
In the current rules of the multiverse, the gods can only reside in the kingdom of God, and release projections into the material plane through [God Descent], while the evil gods will carry out [parasitic reincarnation] with the most cruel and bloody sacrifices.
Therefore, although the gods are strong, they also have to rely on the secular church to inform them, expand the scope of their beliefs, and increase the number of believers, so as to select some pious soul gods to enter the kingdom of God and increase their own strength.
However, this situation will continue until the opening of the first [Apocalypse Plot].
The name comes from the game's first step expansion, Age of the Apocalypse. When the official plot begins, the rules of the multiverse will usher in a chaotic prelude, the rules will change, and the gods will come out of the kingdom of God, descend a doppelganger or a real body, destroy all heretics and disrespectful people in the secular world, and then start the god war.
At that time, the entire multiverse will be shrouded in the shadow of the gods, and the scale of the war will continue to expand, and in the later stage, even more planes will be dragged into the quagmire of war, and even more terrible disasters will erupt.
The universe of the future will be chaotic and disorderly, but it will also be the best time for mortals to achieve divine power and immortal mythology.
……
All the way to the north, in the past half a month, Cangye has been extremely close to the border of the Roman Kingdom.
Occasionally, in a small town, due to the exhaustion of supplies, the night had to stop for a short replenishment. Before leaving the royal city, Cangye carried with him nearly two thousand gold coins, some of which were his own accumulation, and most of which came from the noble mansions.
Spanning most of the kingdom, Nightnight only spent nearly fifty gold coins, and he didn't even hire a carriage to avoid attracting attention.
Long distances, especially from the Western Continent to the East, require crossing a vast desert, and in addition to food, drinking water is the most important thing.
And the closer you get to the desert, the more the price of drinking water rises, so before leaving the Roman Kingdom, the water source must be replenished first, and the food can be postponed.
Filled with nearly ten water bags, Cangye bought some bread and jerky, and turned around to a tavern for a short rest.
For alcohol, Cangye doesn't like it or hate it in particular, this kind of drink that can force people to undergo mental decline and mental weakness doesn't have much effect on him, and even tobacco and some kind of addictive drug won't have any effect on him, and the superbrain can carry out nerve intervention on itself at will.
However, the humans seemed to like the drink very much, and Nightnight couldn't help but get a little interested, and after exchanging two gold coins for a large barrel of wine, Nightnight began to enjoy it.
Bones!
Outside the window, the sound of wheels rolling. A drunkard shouted:
"It's the hunters! Good brother, why don't you come in and have a drink? ”
The people in the tavern also cheered.
Hunters are the name given to the Romanes, but unlike the traditional hunter profession, this group of hunters hunted slaves, and their official name should be the slave catcher.
All this should have nothing to do with Cangye, however, a familiar voice made Cangye stop drinking and turn his head to look out the window.
The cries of the slaves, the shouting and scolding of the slave owners, and the foul language of the people in the tavern sounded harsh for a while.
The voice came from the mouth of a woman with a beautiful face, she was an Oriental, and she spoke in the Oriental language, which means:
Your Royal Highness the Prince, where are you, please help us!
