Chapter 30: The Price

The sunshine in the Queen's City was not bright, but at least there was sunshine. As soon as Su Xiao left the tree-lined manor, Bubo Wang appeared.

"Woof."

"Well, good job."

"Woof."

"No."

p>

"Woof woof!"

"..."

Su Xiao stopped and Bubu Wang immediately got scared. Slippers, and being beaten by Ammu after being controlled, it hurt.

Bubuwang went out this time to lead the surviving residents of Ancient Dragon City to the Queen's City in the southwest of Corrupt Lake. Of course, Madam Scorpion was unwilling to do this. Ancient Dragon City is where It was because of her calculation that he ended up like that.

Su Xiao did not believe that Madam Scorpion would abandon evil and do good. This former abyssal race, now a strong man of the abyss, must be planning something secretly. For this reason, he can come up with such a plan to manage For many years in the Queen City, I just wanted to buy enough time.

Su Xiao doesn’t care what the other party is planning. These risks are within the acceptable range. Now they are to be avoided to the greatest extent. The most important thing is that the priest will destroy the city of refuge and the progress of this world will end immediately. Yes, you know, until now, no trace of the White Dragon Girl has been found.

When asked about this matter, Mrs. Scorpion blamed all the blame on the Speaker of Parliament, Ecubaia, but Su Xiao felt that this matter was not that simple, but the "Gulong Camp's Strongest Frozen" who protected the White Dragon Girl "Ability·Winter Embrace" can last for a month, which is plenty of time.

Back on the Lord Train, Su Xiao controlled the train to reach District 15 of the Queen City. The prosperity here is second only to District 0. The train just stopped at the Wutong Manor bought by Baha. In the backyard woodland, a figure wearing a black robe and a hood walked onto the train.

"The situation is not good."

The person came straight to the point and told the current situation in the sanctuary city of Dogan.

"The two of them control Sanctuary City?"

After speaking, the man in black robe took off his hood. This man was the Dark Bishop Charles of Sanctuary City.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't say anything. As for the ancestral spirits in Sanctuary City, he had made some guesses when he approached the central torch tower, because with the help of Charles and Affi It is impossible for Ya and Zdenek, the three most powerful ones, to stop the Doukain family. Not to mention other things, it is not a problem for the Beast Master to challenge the three of them alone.

In the final analysis, their strongest power was inherited from the previous strongest guardian of Sanctuary City. When they are facing death, they also need to inherit this power. This kind of inherited power Power cannot have 100% fit.

"So, you came to me?"

Su Xiao took care of Dragon Slaying Flash, and he gave Shelter City what it needed. As a result, the ancestors didn't care about it. , choose to cooperate with priests and soul masters.

"I'm here to apologize to you."

"Oh? Are you going to return the [Flame Core] to me? If I remember correctly, it seems to be meFor you. ”

Hearing what Su Xiao said, Dark Bishop Charles prepared his speech for a long time and held it back. Yes, as soon as this law destroyer arrived in Sanctuary City, he gave them two things that could illuminate the city without taking any money. The [Flame Core] of the epoch later created a stable source of food for Sanctuary City.

To this day, the main source of food for Sanctuary City still comes from the half-withered insects underground in the Dark Cathedral. Nest, but what comes with this switch is a shameful betrayal

"Charles. "

Su Xiao placed Dragon Slayer on the knife rest and looked directly at Dark Bishop Charles for the first time in this meeting.

"You are going to persuade me to help you take it back Sanctuary city? "

"Yes. "

Dark Bishop Charles did not dare to look at Su Xiao, but lowered his head and looked away.

"Then, betray me again. "

"This..."

Dark Bishop Charles wanted a firm answer, never, but he knew that Sanctuary City Doan really had the final say. It’s the ancestral spirits

“Charles. ”

Su Xiao pulled out a bottle of elemental wine from the wine rack on the side. Eminem placed two wine glasses. After Su Xiao poured herself a glass, she also poured a glass for the dark bishop Charles opposite. This made Charles feel a little relieved. Having a drink means that we are still friends, and we can talk as friends.

“Do you think I can kill Ducain. ”

“Yes. "

Charles' tone was firm. It was not a promise in the negotiation or anything else, but he believed from the bottom of his heart that the law destroyer on the other side could defeat Ducain.

"This world There are many abyss passages, but the abyss passages can actually be closed. I sealed them in Sun Star and it was successful. "

Hearing this, Charles's eyes changed.

"You said, without the Abyss race, and without the continued erosion of the power of the Abyss, Sanctuary City Doan, Will there be the dawn you long for? ”

“Oh? So what do you think of ancestral spirits? ”

“We are made up of the souls of the most powerful people in Doan. ”

“Really. "

"I understand very, very well. Your understanding of the abyss is unmatched by anyone in our sanctuary city. ”

After Charles finished speaking, he glanced at Eminem who was standing aside.

“Maybe it’s because of my shallow knowledge. In my understanding, the power of souls gathered together, After being infested by the abyss, it actually protects living creatures. ”

As soon as these words came out, Charles’ face changed slightly. In fact, not only Charles, but also the exploration captain Afia and the pain priest Zdenek had doubted why the ancestral spirits were so heavy. After a secret discussion about the abyssal aura, the three came to the conclusion that it was the abyss erosion environment in this world that caused the ancestral spirits to act like this.

In fact, the three of them had another answer in their minds. The so-called ancestral spirits came from generations to generations. After the soul power of the strong is gathered, it is constantly nourished and strengthened by the power of the abyss., and therefore, this powerful and unstable source of power requires a sufficiently stable stabilizer. In the entire star realm, the original vitality is one of the most stable high-level energies.

A fact is before our eyes. Even if the abyssal race in this world is wiped out and the invasion of the abyss stops, what Sanctuary City Doan has to face is the ancestral spirit that has always protected them. In exchange for From this perspective, it is possible to say that the ancestral spirits have been keeping the residents of the shelter city captive.

Without the original vitality provided by the residents of Sanctuary City from generation to generation, the ancestral spirits would have long been twisted into soul monsters, and every few decades, the supreme power of Sanctuary City Doan would be passed on and lost. The strongest one will go to the bottom of the central torch tower.

Nominally they join the ancestral spirits and become one of the spirits. If you think about it in a darker way, these strong men have not joined the spirits at all. The ancestral spirits have only one consciousness. Every time they enter the bottom of the tower, the strong ones The souls of others were swallowed up by it and strengthened themselves.

How come the soul master can easily cooperate with the ancestral spirit? Because they are the same kind, soul masters gain power by devouring the souls of others, and the same goes for ancestor spirits.

After Su Xiao came to this world and defeated the Beast Master, there was a person in Sanctuary City who saw an opportunity for a comeback. That person was Vaughn, the contemporary city lord of Sanctuary City. Unfortunately, Vaughn has not yet When he came to have a secret talk with Su Xiao, he was killed by the priest and the soul master, and the soul master replaced him.

"Even if what you said is true, with the current strength of the ancestral spirit, I am no match, and maybe you are not either, and the "Soul God Tree" it carefully cultivated is about to bear fruit. Without that fruit, it becomes even more invincible. "

"The environment of this world makes it impossible for a "Soul God Tree" to be born..."

As soon as Su Xiao said this, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Shelter City Was it built on the ruins of the Empire of Dawn? "

"This...how do you know? "

Dark Bishop Charles was slightly shocked.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't say anything. If Sanctuary City was built on the ruins of the Dawn Empire, , the "Soul Divine Tree" is really possible. After all, the Dawn Empire was established by the human race and the giant race, inheriting one of the ancient dragon's legacies.

If the current central torch tower is the ancestral land of the ancient dragons in the past, and the lost ancient dragons are buried here, then there will be a large number of mixed but extremely large primitive soul stones under this land.

After years of brewing in such a situation, if a "Soul God Tree" is planted on it, it is really possible for the "Soul God Tree" to grow stronger.

Generally, the "Soul God Tree" will only bear fruit once every thousand years. After it bears fruit, it will wither. The skin and flesh of this fruit is the main material of the top "Soul Gaining Secret Medicine", the core. In part, the "Soul God Tree" can be planted again under a suitable environment.

Such a harsh continuation method means that the number of "Soul God Trees" in the star realm may not even be in the dozens.

Su Xiaozhen has no hope of getting completeThere is no such luck in maturing the "Soul God Tree Fruit", but according to the Dark Bishop, this fruit will mature in another few decades. These "Soul God Tree Fruits" are already available, although they are only comparable to The fully mature body is 60% effective, but it is still a rare treasure.

“Very scared.”

“Are you afraid of death for the refuge city of Dogan?”

“Not so scared.”

"Okay, next question, do you believe me."

Hearing this, Dark Bishop Charles hesitated. He recalled that a few days ago, the two of them stood in the dark. On the roof of the cathedral, under the afterglow of the setting sun, I could see the smiling Dogan residents receiving meat, the smoke rising from every household, and the children running and playing in the streets after having a full meal.

"I believe you."

"Then I'll give you a chance."

Su Xiao took out the "Book of Original Sin" and put it away On the table in front of you, open to page six, which is the page where the "Soul Crown" is located.

In terms of granting power, "Sun Mask" and "Scarlet Scepter" are definitely better. The problem is that these two big daddy-level original sin objects have a particularly bad relationship with Su Xiao, and they are among the most desirable. The two big father-level original sin objects that killed Su Xiao.

The "Netherworld Bone Ring" is also good, but unfortunately, his relationship with Su Xiao is "cold" at best, and he occasionally wants to kill Su Xiao.

Looking at the "Soul Crown", the original sin object of the Su Xiao Gang has been granted the title of Big Daddy. The current relationship with Su Xiao is "temporarily neutral", which is not as good as the "neutral" relationship of the Collector and the best relationship. "Necronomicon", of course, this relationship is good, that is, the relationship is "average". The main reason is that he will not take the initiative to kill Su Xiao.

In addition, the "Soul Crown" will give the user powerful soul power, and it can be said to be a very professional counterpart to collect the ancestral spirits.

Dark Bishop Charles looked at the "Soul Crown" in front of him. In addition to fear, there was also a growing desire in his eyes. He asked hesitantly:

"I really , are you qualified to use this original sin object?"

"No."

"Then?"

"You are not qualified to use it, but you are being desired. Before the engulfment, as long as your will is strong enough, the ancestral spirit will definitely die before you."

Su Xiao will not deal with the ancestral spirit. The reason is that he also has enemies to deal with and does not have the energy to deal with it. How about Sanctuary City, but since Dark Bishop Charles is here, give the other party a choice. If the other party is not afraid of death, it will be easier to handle.

Dark Bishop Charles held the "Soul Crown" in his hands, took a deep breath, and put it on his head. The next second, his incarnation suddenly disappeared.

Almost at the same time, in the prayer room of the dark cathedral in Sanctuary City, Dark Bishop Charles himself opened his eyes, and he was already wearing the "Soul Crown" on his head.

Charles stood up from his kneeling position and walked outside the cathedral. As soon as he arrived at the door of the cathedral, he met two people.He is a priest and a spiritual master.

"Father, this guy looks very wrong, Father, Father?"

The soul master turned his head and saw the priest who had turned into a gray human body. He pushed down his narrow-framed sunglasses with his black-gloved hands. His only thought was, hurry up. The old guy, the priest, is so decisive. What Dark Bishop Charles is wearing must be something very scary.

"You, kneel down for me!"

"What the hell was that just now?"

"Original sin object."

"Huh? Is the Original Sin Object so scary? I have learned that your Golden Holy Grail is not on the same level as that crown."

"Of course, that is the Original Sin Object with the original sin. , that crown represents desire.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, how does the hunter hold such an evil thing?”

The priest did not answer the question of the soul master. , the priest looked at the darkness outside the ruins of the building: "Let's start."

...

At this moment, the city of refuge Dogan, the central square, under the towering central torch tower, darkness Bishop Charles stopped here. His pupils were trembling. This was the struggle of consciousness caused by the constant amplification of desire.

Pfft!

Dark Bishop Charles stabbed his chest with one hand, took out his heart alive, and threw his heart to the exploration captain Afia.

"Afiya, if I succeed, crush my heart immediately, kill me, and go to Bai Ye immediately. Only he can help us deal with the follow-up matters. He promised me, I He sacrificed his life to deal with the aftermath."

Charles' eyes were determined, which was why he was not quickly controlled by the "Soul Crown".

"Zdenek, you come in with me. If I can't bear it, I will kill myself a moment before I am controlled. You take the top and wear this crown. Today, we must fight This has devoured our Duoan's vitality for thousands of years, but today, when Duoan will be redeemed, he has become the ancestral spirit of Duoan's new threat."

Facial paralysis. Zdenek only answered one word, but was equally firm.

"I can also..."

After Afiya said this, Charles, who was walking towards the central torch tower, stopped, tilted his head and smiled at her: "Don't die. Ah, Afia."

Leaving these words, Dark Bishop Charles and Pain Priest Zdenek walked into the central torch tower.

......

Queen's City·City No. 15, the woodland in the backyard of Wutong Manor, inside the Lord's Train.

Su Xiao turned off the projection played by Bu Bu Wang. He got up and went to the bedroom in the trunk. He first activated the Awakening Monument and refined the 150 extinguishing skill points in the [Original Container] to 30 points. , walked into the "Skill Upgrade Warehouse", activated the Void Tree facility, and relied on the notarization environment inside to start using the refined extinguishing skill points to improve Qinggang Shadow's abilities..

An hour later, when the steam gushes out, the "Skill Upgrade Chamber" opens. The train's smoke sensor is activated, expelling the scattered steam. Su Xiao walks out of the "Skill Upgrade Chamber". He feels that the Qinggangying's energy was extremely active.

Start the Lord Train and target the "Dark Zone".

Two hours later, when the Lord Train stopped, the surrounding light was extremely dim. In order to ensure that enough abyssal creatures could be drawn out, Su Xiao entered the "Absolute Dark Zone" from another entrance.

This time entering the "Absolute Dark Zone", Su Xiao was not enveloped in darkness that had reached the level of nothingness. Instead, he had the "Abyss Vision" brought by his "Intuition" ability. On the contrary, he felt that the deeper he went into the "Absolute Dark Zone" ”, the more light there is.

Arrived at the central area of ​​the "Absolute Dark Zone", he took out the powerful atomization device specially made by Bubo Wang, fixed the metal device with a base the size of a millstone to the ground, and started it.

Boom~!

The impact of darkness spread, and the aura belonging to the "Abyssal Essence" rushed to the surroundings. However, after a long time this time, the surrounding darkness was extremely quiet.

The abyss spawns are not stupid. The last time they surrounded Su Xiao, he was killed out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Although this time it was not the same place, the abyss spawns in the surrounding darkness gradually Retreating, it seems, is to return to the abyss passage and stay away from this law destroyer.

Faced with this situation, Su Xiao took out a piece of "Abyssal Source". The container of this "Abyssal Source" was specially made by Bubuwang. It was extremely strong and had a section of it modified. He activated one end of the pressure valve, and the micro-vibration device vibrated the granulated "Abyssal Essence" and dispersed some of it.

The surrounding darkness suddenly became extremely quiet.

"Roar!!"

The violent roar immediately enveloped Su Xiao, and countless abyss creatures rushed out from the surrounding darkness.

In the early morning of the next day, Su Xiao dragged his tired body out of the exit of the "Absolute Dark Zone". With the blessing of the Qingying King, he was not afraid of being besieged, which made the [Original Container] full again. Unfortunately, What's strange is that this time there is no immortal or abyss-breeding creature, so there is no "Devil Spirit Essence" benefit, and the degree of completion of "Abyss Mission: Grant of Death" has not increased at all.

Of course, this time is not without other gains. In addition to the [Hunter Gold Coins] brought by the title of "Old Hunter", this time when Su Xiao came to the "Dark Zone", he received it from Caesar in advance. Completed a huge number of camp missions.

These tasks are all related to cleaning up the abyss breeding creatures in this world. Su Xiao and Caesar are not just fictional camp tasks. These camp tasks are all notarized by the Void Tree, and because of Su Xiao’s Void The reputation of the tree is low, and these tasks have been judged twice, and the result is that there is no problem.

First of all, you need to know that Queen City is one of the core camps in this world, and even the largest core lineup in this world. In addition, Queen City has nothing to do with the abyss camp in this world.

As for the camp reputation benefits of these missions being too high, Su XiaoAfter killing all night in the "Ultra Dark Zone", in the morning, even the "Abyss Essence" that was transformed into a container could not be used to attract the Abyss Breeding Creatures. Isn't it unreasonable to gain more camp reputation?

When the train stopped, Su Xiao had returned to the Wutong Manor in District 15 of the Queen City. It can only be said that it is really great to have the Lord Train, especially in this kind of situation. Abyss Invasion, a world where every use of teleportation is risky.

Arrived in a relatively safe area, Su Xiao fell asleep on the big bed in the train bedroom. Seeing this, Eminem swallowed the food in his mouth, walked out of the train, jumped to the top of the train, and sat on it. Above, anyone who dares to approach with malicious intent will be killed immediately by Eminem.

When Su Xiao woke up, it was already noon. The first thing he did when he woke up was to go to the "Skill Upgrade Warehouse". After activating it, he began to improve the Qinggang Shadow's abilities.

More than two hours later, Su Xiao walked out of the "Skill Upgrade Warehouse". Although the Void Tree facility still has a limited use time, and with the enhanced Qinggang Shadow ability, the burden on the body is not great. , but this is also relatively speaking. The ability of level 60 Qinggang Shadow can be improved in a short period of time. The intensity of this ability has reached a level that is exaggerated even at the strongest level.

[Green Steel Shadow: lv.155 (active/passive skills)]

Conditions of use: After turning on the Green Steel Shadow ability, 16960 mana points will be consumed per minute (increased by 7200 points ).

Active effect: Each melee attack will burn the enemy's mana 26860 points, and cause real damage x1.8 times the burned mana (base 48348 points + 400 real damage + Dragon Slaying Flash increased by 50% + Blue Shadow King increases by 30% + Quick Shadow increases by 40% = 106766 points of real damage), the enemy will suffer intense pain after the mana is burned.

Defense form: Aoge (passive), which can generate crystals of any shape to defend against enemy attacks. The strength of the crystals is proportional to the mana consumed. The upper limit of a single mana consumption is 31,900 points (increased by 9,000 points). , Crystal layer defense level +40 (increased by 12).

Tip: After Arrogant transforms into a passive trait, the crystal formation and spreading speed increases by 76% (increased by 26%).

Battle form: Violent boiling (active), causing the Qinggang Shadow's energy to "boil", changing the consumption per minute to per second, and increasing the mana consumption by 1000%. The Qinggang Shadow can cause Final true damage x3 times.

......

The current Qinggang Shadow's ability, the ultimate collateral damage is 320,298 points of real damage with one sword, which is outrageous? Yes, but the opposite is the same outrageous mana consumption, 169,600 points per second.

Su Xiao’s mana value of 520,000 points is already very high. The problem is that now after turning on Qinggang Ying’s "Violent Boiling", it will take more than 3 seconds for all the mana to be consumed. It seems that he can only The knife that separates life and death can activate "violent boiling".

When she came to the train bathroom and washed herself, Su Xiao felt that her condition had reached its peak.Jia, he went to the front compartment and took out the two existing [Dukain family emblems]. His next battle must be in "Molten City" to deal with the Speaker of Parliament, Ecubaia, this old guy. , there are three [Ducain family crests].

[Announcement (Tree of the Void): After checking the progress of this world, the income rewards of this reputation ranking will be displayed. The total is as follows:

The rewards for the first place are as follows :

1. [Random overlord equipment treasure chest (open to get it, you will definitely get overlord equipment ranked 30-50). ]

2. [Xeon Passive Scroll Treasure Chest (★★★). 】

Tip: When you open this treasure chest, you will definitely get the most powerful passive corresponding to the random physical attributes, and the level of this most powerful passive is ★★★ (the top level).

3. Soul Sefirah·The Only One (this is the supreme sefirah, now located in the Void Tree inventory).

......

Only the first place has a reward, the second place returns empty-handed, and whether it is [Random Overlord Equipment Treasure Box] or [Xeon Passive Scroll Treasure Box], both It is the hard currency income that all powerful contractors particularly want.

[Soul Essence·Unique] is the same as [Hegemony Essence] and [Supreme Life Essence]. It is the "Supreme Essence" with unique characteristics. It requires the death of the contemporary absorber in order to will regroup and appear.

Su Xiao estimates that this [Soul Source·Unique] has a high probability of improving his own soul strength. He does not particularly care about other soul characteristic bonuses. If he wants to activate and promote to the strongest, he The "Exclusive Supreme Passive·Source of Power" you possess requires up to 1800 points of soul strength.

This is why Su Xiao is willing to go to the murky waters of Sanctuary City because there is a "Soul God Tree Fruit" there. As a master of pharmacy, he has the confidence to use the "Soul God Tree Fruit" The improvement of "Fruit" reaches the limit.

"Exclusive Supreme Passive·Source of Power" occupies five of Su Xiao's "Super Passive·Skill Slots". As a result, this skill has no bonus at all. He does not expect it to be able to After returning to the Samsara Paradise this time, activate this "Exclusive Supreme Passive", but you must activate it after the progress of the next world ends. Time does not wait.

Especially after knowing how powerful the "Peak of Power" is, he is even more convinced that he will die if he encounters Lord Soul before he reaches the "Peak of Power", let alone his "Peak of Power" Master Soul is not the only enemy.

However, Su Xiao has another idea, that is, even if he obtains [Soul Source·Unique], he will not use this thing. In the final analysis, the soul strength increased by this thing is probably not as good as the one prepared into a potion. "Soul God Tree Fruit", this thing should improve the basic ability of the soul system, and even make it undergo a qualitative change.

Su Xiao estimated that this "Supreme Essence" should have an upper limit on the amount it can absorb. He has absorbed a portion of "Supreme Life Essence" and "Hegemony Essence", and added one The quota is wasted on [Soul Essence] that does not suit him, just to increase the strength of the soul., not worth it.

However, it is too early to consider these things now. If the opponent is someone else, it is a sure thing this time, but if the opponent is a priest and a soul master, it is not so sure.

Open the task list. For the first time in a long time, Su Xiao's task list turned bright red because there were too many completed tasks.

[Tip: You have submitted all Queen City lineup tasks. ]

[You gain 7825930 points of camp reputation. 】

......

The current lineup store in Queen City is cleaner than Caesar's pockets, but with the reputation rankings in this world, the reputation of these camps has value. , he opens the reputation rankings.

First place: Baiye (Reincarnation Paradise), 13.42 million Queen City reputation points.

Second place: Soul Master (Dawn Paradise), 8.96 million points of sanctuary city reputation.

Third place: Priest (Dawn Paradise), 4.85 million points of sanctuary city reputation.

Fourth place: Aurora (Holy Light Paradise), 1.65 million sanctuary city reputation points...

...

Magic Grace (Death Paradise) : "The lineup reputation ranking is becoming more and more outrageous."

Celine (Apocalypse Paradise): "The total reputation of the top four factions adds up to 28.88 million points. From the first level to the strongest, I have no Having seen so many camp reputations, I might as well transfer all the camp stores to the four of you."

Aurora (Dawn Paradise): "The lineup store in Sanctuary City is meaningless. It has been lost here. The notarization of the only lineup store in the world gives some guys an opportunity."

Sluoer (Death Paradise): "Why, I'm still going to exchange things."
