Chapter 526: Clouds Rise
Originally, it went very smoothly, and it was already obvious that Skeletron's bones were purified by the holy water, and there was not much negative energy left, but for some reason, that guy suddenly woke up and fell short.
An pointed to the hole where the three of them had come down, and only after rushing out of the mine did he understand why.
It's dark......
The time of the quest points to 6 p.m., and it is clear that the night has brought Skeletron the power to awaken.
Just as all the undead hate the sun, all the gods who have the god of the sun are also very disgusted with the undead, and the undead will be severely weakened and suppressed under the sun, I am afraid that it is because Ann pointed out that the sun had not set when they entered, and Skeletron was in a bone state, and when the sun went down, he woke up.
It's a pity, but it's not a pity.
The Overworld is different from the Dungeon World, and fighting monsters does not drop equipment and skills, and will only be obtained when the NPC agrees to give it to you. All things considered, even if you use holy water to purify Skeletron, I'm afraid there won't be anything left in the box.
Besides, that guy will be resurrected!
The last time Ann Yizhi watched Skeletron being bombarded to the slag by the Dawnstone, even Luoshanda's divine power couldn't completely purify him, and the devil knows what he needed to do.
By the time the three of them ran out of the mine, the support of the Temple of Dawn had arrived, and the regional bishop Tolan was among them.
This time, there were not only priests and paladins from the Temple of Dawn, but also priests from Losanda's ally, Zentia, a team of hundreds of people.
With so many people, will it be possible to turn around and go back and kill Skeletron?
Not really.
Most of them are NPCs around level 20, which are completely useless in high-level battles, and can even get in the way.
An Yizhi estimates that Regional Bishop Tolan may be around level 40, but he still has no chance of winning against Skeletron.
However, they were not all useless, and the regional bishop immediately ordered someone to set up a seal around the area, so that the guy would not escape again.
"It's a pity that we can't contact Mr. Brave and Invincible, otherwise there might be a chance to destroy it."
Regional Bishop Tolan pointed to Ann.
How can An Yizhi answer? It can't be said that the brave are invincible, and they are working in the supermarket to check out and collect money......
What the regional bishop said is not unreasonable, all the skills of the brave and invincible are to restrain evil creatures, plus this product is famous for its resistance to beating and fighting, and with him as a striker, it is really possible to do Skeletron with peace of mind.
But there is a premise, and that is that Skeletron's strength is the same as before.
An Yizhi always felt that this grandson had become stronger than the last time he was bombarded with the Dawn Stone, and although there was no basis for it, this feeling was very strong, as if Skeletron would strengthen every time he died.
Even if you can kill him, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be resurrected. Until a way is found to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, it is quite correct to temporarily seal Skeletron away.
But no matter what, there is no need to worry about dealing with Skeletron, there are so many strong people in the mortal world, it is not difficult to solve the matter of Skeletron.
It's just that because of the previous demon invasion, most of the powerhouses in the mortal world are recuperating at this stage, and the matter of Skeletron can only be studied slowly after they recover.
Anyway, there is nothing for him to do here, Burns wants to stay and continue to make a report, and An Yizhi and Apple Tea will continue to do what they should do when they return to the city.
"Brother An, let's go together."
Appletea suggested.
The wild at night is not safe.,When you enter the night, a lot of passively attacking monsters will turn into active attacks.,That is to say, the monsters scattered in the wild at night will become very fanatical.,Unless it's some liver emperors among the players,Otherwise, they generally don't go out of the city in the middle of the night to level up.。
An Yizhi often plays dungeons, and he doesn't know the situation in the Overworld, but Apple Tea is not, and he knows very well how dangerous the night is.
"You'd better wait and go back with the people from the Temple of Dawn, I'll go first."
After saying that, An Yizhi activated the amber escape technique very unkindly, and returned directly to the hotel in Yamen City.
Apple Tea: ......
–‐‐——–‐‐——
From the city of Amen, head south, through the Forest of Manaki, over the endless Heavenly Sword Mountains, and finally follow the main road to Kanso City.
However, walking west along the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range, passing through several cities such as Fort of Furnace and Naua, you will arrive at another area.
Compared to the 200-year-old Xincheng Yamen, it is more prosperous and historic, and the further west you go, the more cities there are and the denser they are.
and Amen, and Limmushire. Furnace Fort. The Sademir region composed of Kanso City is different, there are many city-states here, the power is complex, and what is even more strange is that they have mutual grudges, not to mention each other's grudges, but also have mutual marriages, and it is really painful to completely sort out the relationship between them......
In terms of strength, these old cities are strong and weak.
Some cities are several times more powerful than Amen, and even several times more powerful than Canso. The weak, on the other hand, usually rely on the political skills of those in power, and the long-sleeved and good dancers can protect and govern them.
And the demonic invasion has rendered all the tricks at the negotiating table ineffective, and the demons don't care if you are clever and don't accept their creed!
As a result, their losses ranged from light to severe, with some cities almost completely destroyed as if they were in the Woodshire County, while others suffered almost no losses.
Just like the four great temples in the city of Yamen, one and the other are different, and there is a slight crack in the original apparent peace.
Q: How can I make up for my losses as soon as possible?
Answer, of course, it is to rob other people's supplies!
There was a strong smell of gunpowder between the city-states, as if a small spark would detonate.
Whether it is the inferior nature of human beings, or the instinct for survival. In the aftermath of the catastrophe, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is not how to work together to overcome difficulties, but to 'learn from each other'.
Some careerists are also starting to move, and no one in this world will think that they have a lot of power, and no one will think that they control a lot of territory. The mess left behind by the demonic invasion gives them a golden opportunity to achieve whatever they want to achieve.
Located on the same coastline as the city of Canso, but separated by thousands of miles, the city is called Lopwen. Named after the first lord of the city, it was one of the most powerful and prosperous cities in the entire Overworld, a jewel of civilization and economic development.
Hotels and shops flicker at night, and the streets are lit up by magically powered street lamps that people can walk in defiance of the night.
The bluestone pavement is filled with the sound of wheels and horses' hooves trampling, and the drum-like music is like the blood of the city.
It is a city that never sleeps, but it is also a trading city, a fortress city.
But as everyone knows, what are the consequences of an extremely developed economy, intrigue and darkness slowly wriggling under the glamour......
The young lord sat back in his chair and listened patiently to the quarrel of the group below. Each of them is old enough to be a grandfather to the city lord, but they are still as energetic as young men, and they are very noisy.
"This is betrayal! The worst betrayal! He actually sold supplies to Canso City, and his sin is unforgivable! ”
An old halfling was almost about to jump onto the table, clapping his muscles as if he were going to eat someone.
His roar drew the support of several other capitalists, while on the other side, several of them retorted:
"It is unforgivable that he has disrupted your plot to sit on the ground."
This sarcastic provocation caused a flurry of chickens and dogs to jump.
The focus of discussion was a middle-aged merchant named Johnston, who had a small chamber of commerce in the city, and was one of the number one people in the city.
However, instead of cooperating with the business strategy of other merchants to sit on the ground and raise prices, he sold many materials for post-war reconstruction to Canso City at a reasonable price.
This drew resentment from the other merchants, as Johnston's actions had left their goods apparently unsalable.
Of course, this was only a minor issue in this 'meeting', and until now these well-dressed councillors were still debating how to annex the surrounding city-states, which had suffered so much loss.
As Ann Yizhi once said.
These people have no self-discipline, are afraid of getting hurt, will only pick up the benefits, and do not want to get their hands dirty.
From the perspective of the development of civilization, these people are a cancer and an obstacle, and they will inevitably be run over by the wheels of history in the future, and there will be no bones left.
For the young city lord, these people were a stumbling block for him to control the city that originally belonged to his family.
Since his grandfather's generation, the Lopwen family has been in decline, largely due to the stupidity of his grandfather and father.
The young city lord is called the city lord, but the army he can directly command is only the city lord guard of 1,000 people, not to mention how many spies have been planted by other forces in these guards......
He didn't even bother to count.
Show the enemy to be weak, Taoguang is obscure, and the young city lord is very smart. Since taking over, he has made himself harmless in the eyes of others, a mascot, a titular city lord.
In fact, however, he was wondering when he would be able to send all the people in the room to the gallows!
The meeting continues, or it is called an argument.
The city lord looked at the two sides of the argument, and it was obvious that one of them was almost speechless, and it was time for the city lord to open his mouth.
"Then, as Mr. Buck suggests, Johnston, who has fled, is wanted, all his belongings are confiscated, all his goods destined for Canso are seized, and the best bounty hunters are sent to bring the prisoners back for public trial."
One of them was overjoyed, and the other was not too disappointed.
Obviously, they did not oppose those capitalists because of their conscience, but just wanted to give their political opponents a little awkwardness.
"I'm sleepy, what's going on tomorrow."
Pulling out his pocket watch and looking at it, the young lord stretched his waist. The parliamentarians felt that the purpose of their trip had almost been achieved, so they all took their leave.
Anyway, he is also the lord of the city, so let's give him this face.
After the others left, the empty conference room was left with the young city lord and his barbarian bodyguards.
"Thom, do you think they have a point?"
The young city lord asked casually.
The question was too difficult for the barbarian, and he scratched his bare head and said:
"Uh...... You know, boss, I'm more interested in drinking and women, and if you don't like those guys, I'll chop them all with an axe. ”
"Haha, Thom, my dear Thom, one day you'll have a chance."
A huge city lord's mansion, the only person he can trust without reservation is this mentally retarded barbarian, maybe it's a kind of irony.
The young lord of the city looked at the map hanging on the wall, reached out and picked up a red pin and pressed it to the location of the city of Naua:
"Those old guys are desperately trying to deal with Canso City, don't they just want to monopolize the maritime trade? But...... Hey"
His gaze was burning, and his eyes seemed to be able to pass through a rudimentary map.
"We are not the only ones in this world......
