Chapter 286 Main mission completed, test and alliance
When the team stopped to rest, Lu Heng gathered all 20 human superpowers who participated in this mission and held a small meeting.
"Gathering everyone together, there is one thing to say, and this matter is very important, it can be said to be a matter of life and death..."
Lu Heng started first, looked around and looked at everyone's expressions, and then got to the point:
"I think you all have heard a secret through various methods, about the secret of Moon Well Spring Water, but I want to remind you that this Moon Well Spring Water must be sent to Moon Shadow Forest.
"I'll put it directly here. No matter who wants to touch the spring water of Moon Well, I will take action and kill him.
"Whether it is the Abyss Recruiters, demons, or other forces, as long as they take action, the relationship will be hostile and there will be no room for relaxation."
When everyone heard this, they all began to make calculations in their hearts.
One person asked: "Is it true that Moon Well Spring Water can upgrade skills?"
For Lu Heng, if he wants to upgrade his skills, he only needs to have enough divine energy and then reach full skill proficiency.
However, for ordinary superpowers, skills can only be upgraded by completing world tasks.
It is useless to deny this question. Lu Heng nodded and confirmed: "Judging from the known information, it is true that Moon Well Spring Water can indeed upgrade skills.
"However, I advise you not to have such twisted thoughts.
"Think about where you heard this secret first, and why do you all hear this secret?"
Xie Shien answered: "Actually, it is very obvious. This information was deliberately released by the elves to us."
"Why would they reveal such a secret?" someone expressed doubts.
Lu Heng thought about it and solved everyone's doubts: "The elven civilization has been fighting against the abyss for seven hundred years, and the number of conscripts who know the secret of Moon Well is countless.
"In other words, for the elves, they no longer care about one more civilization knowing this secret.
"Even if they want to hide it, they can't hide it for long.
“So, they don’t mind leaking this secret and then using this secret to test us.
"Yes, let me tell you the answer directly.
"This mission is an obvious test to see if we are bandits.
"It has been twenty days since we teleported to this world, and everyone should have obtained the information about the last batch of human superpowers.
"Yes, among the last batch of human superpowers recruited, there was a raiding team.
"This bandit attacked many places of the elves and stole many treasures.
"The elves were not hostile to us from the beginning, which shows that this race is indeed friendly.
"However, the last batch of humans planted the seeds of distrust, and we can only bear it.
"So this escort mission is also a test.
"If I guessed correctly, there should be an elite group of elves following us.
"As long as we rob the Moon Well Spring, we will be hunted by the elves.
"At that time, this abyss battlefield will be considered a failure.
"Anyway, please remember, we were recruited here to help the elves, not to be enemies with them.
"This is the basic logic behind the will of the world recruiting us. If we follow this goal, we will get the rewards we deserve.
"As for taking shortcuts, it must be done without violating the meaning of recruitment.
"From a civilized perspective, robbing the Moon Well spring water has no positive significance in resisting the Abyss.
"The elves owned the Moon Well, but they failed to repel the invasion of the abyss.
"What can we change if we plunder this portion of Moon Well Spring Water?
"I know that some people must think that they can become stronger by grabbing the Moon Well spring water.
"But I reiterate, this Moon Well spring water must be sent to Moon Shadow Forest intact, anyone who touches it will die!"
The last word came in a very harsh tone.
Everyone fell silent.
Tao Yalun, Wu Weibing and other nine people came from the army and were very disciplined. After listening to Lu Heng's analysis, they all made promises:
"We obey orders and listen to the leader."
Rong Xincheng also hurriedly expressed his position that everything would be subject to Lu Heng's arrangement.
Among these 20 people, Lu Heng could control only 16 people. The real uncertainty was actually only the remaining 4 people.
It is not difficult for 16 people to supervise 4 people.
And among the 16 people, there are more than 4 perceivers.
One-on-one marking is no problem. Even if these four people really have different intentions, they still have enough power to control the situation.
After everyone present established the mental rule not to touch the Moon Well spring water, Lu Heng continued to add more information:
"There are also some things that may happen that need to be discussed with everyone.
"Everyone has experienced the Abyss battlefield many times. You should know that the situation in the Abyss battlefield will slowly change over time.
"This mission of escorting the Moon Well Spring is likely to arouse the covetousness of the Abyss recruiters in addition to us.
"In other words, there may be abyss recruiters who receive the task of attacking the escort team.
"So during this escort mission, we need to be alert to the Abyss recruiters or other Abyss demons who may appear at any time.
"We just took advantage of this opportunity to complete the first challenge mission."
This passage not only cut off the thoughts of those with superpowers present from robbing Moon Well spring water, but also gave them a way to obtain rewards.
With rules and restrictions and ways to obtain rewards, the stick and the carrot can naturally make them obey orders.
……
at the same time.
Five kilometers behind the Moon Well Spring escort team, there was another team of elves following.
This team is the Elf Queen's Guard led by Fiona, which is even more elite.
After the meeting of human superpowers, not long after, an elf arcanist came to Fiona and reported:
"They have seen through our arrangement. The human named Lu Heng ordered others not to snatch the magic spring water."
Fiona rode on the hippogryph and walked slowly on the ground. When she heard the arcanist's report, she sighed:
"Sure enough, the trap is still too rough. But it doesn't matter. As long as we can complete this escort mission, our goal will be achieved."
After saying this, she handed the team to her adjutant to lead, then pulled the hippogryph's reins and rode the hippogryph into the sky.
The hippogryph was very fast and flew above the escort team in a short time.
Fiona jumped off the Hippogryph's back, flipped several times in the air and landed. She waved to Lu Heng and said, "Let's talk."
Lu Heng reached out and patted Su Muyu on the back, then jumped off the back of the mechanical tiger and followed Fiona to the dead woods on the roadside.
Fiona was walking in the dead forest, stretched out her hand to break off a branch of a dead tree, looked at the break and said, "Do you know? When I was very young, this place was still a vibrant jungle, with wild steel flowers all over the mountains and plains. Now, Only dead branches remain.”
This is the environmental change caused by the pollution of the abyss, making it difficult for plants to survive.
However, such a big change in the environment cannot be achieved in a short time, it will take at least hundreds of years.
Well, it may indeed have been hundreds of years ago when General Fiona was a child.
In fact, it's not just the dead woods here, similar situations have occurred in many places on this continent.
The environment deteriorates, vegetation decreases, animals migrate, and the entire world is in decline.
From this point of view, it seems that abyssal pollution will make the environment unsuitable for survival, but this is not absolute.
The environmental changes caused by the pollution of the abyss have indeed made it more difficult for elves, humans, and even Dark Iron dwarves to survive, but this is not the result for all creatures.
Abyssal races will like this kind of environment, such as demons, vampires, abyss worms, and similar creatures can survive in the polluted environment of the abyss.
If you look at this problem from the perspective of the abyssal race, abyssal pollution makes more worlds suitable for their survival.
Lu Heng observed the expression on her face and said, "If we can't find a way to purify the abyss, maybe I will experience what you have experienced."
Fiona turned around and sighed: "I really envy you for being born in a world that is not polluted by the abyss, breathing the cleanest air, and tasting the most pristine river water."
When she was born, the abyss had swallowed half of the Queldorei continent, so she could only listen to the elders of the clan telling them about the past wealth and prosperity of the elves, and had no chance to see it with her own eyes.
Lu Heng smiled helplessly and said: "The elves at least have magic to resist the invasion of the abyss. The human world does not even have magical energy, and it falls into the abyss faster, much faster than the elves."
Although the world of Quel'dorei has been devastated by the abyss, it has persisted for at least seven hundred years, and the elven civilization can still maintain a complete civilization inheritance. Because the elves have moon wells, although the moon wells are polluted by the abyss and their numbers are constantly decreasing, the elves use the magical energy of the moon wells to indeed slow down the invasion of the abyss.
The human world is different.
Technological civilization, without the power of magic, cannot find a way to resist the invasion of the abyss.
If the current situation continues, humans may fall into the abyss before the elven civilization.
In other words, the human world is an accelerated version of the abyss invasion.
When Fiona looked at Lu Heng, her eyes were a little complicated.
Because she knew what Lu Heng was talking about.
In fact, in the past seven hundred years, the elves have been recruited to many worlds and witnessed many worlds falling into the abyss.
They tried to stop it and tried to help, but no one in the worlds they had experienced was spared because they could never find a way to purify the abyss.
Fiona bent down and took out a bed bug from the dead tree stump, but instead of squeezing the bed bug to death, she put it back into the small hole under the root of the tree and used dead leaves to help cover the hole.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Because she recognized that these were insects that originally existed in the world of Quel'dorei.
In this land polluted by the abyss, even the originally unpopular bugs have become a bit more cute as long as they do not come from the abyss.
She straightened up and turned around and asked: "What do you think can be done to purify the abyss?"
Lu Heng was silent for a long time before replying: "I'm also looking for the answer."
Fiona then asked: "So do you think that when you are recruited to other worlds, should you help the civilizations there resist the abyss, or should you go crazy and plunder the powerful yourself?"
Lu Heng has thought about this question many times. From the last life to this life, he already has the answer in his heart, but this answer is not the answer to the abyss invasion.
"I think the will that recruited us is to hope that intelligent civilizations in various worlds can unite to find a way to purify the abyss..."
This is Lu Heng's current answer, but there is still the second half left unsaid.
Because no one knows whether doing this can purify the abyss.
Perhaps after struggling until the end, he discovered that there was no way to purify the abyss, and conscription was just meaningless resistance.
If someone could know the way to purify the abyss, then this would not be a problem, just work towards the known method.
It is precisely because everything in the abyss is unknown that makes this disaster difficult to resolve.
Perhaps humans, elves, Dark Iron dwarves and other civilizations are just working towards a hope that does not exist at all.
Fiona slowly exhaled a long breath and asked: "Do you think there is a way to purify the abyss in the world of gods?"
Lu Heng didn't know the answer, and he hadn't found the answer in his entire life.
Not to mention the few years since humans came into contact with the abyss, the elven civilization has resisted the invasion of the abyss for seven hundred years.
After such a long period of time, a human would probably be in despair.
Relatively speaking, the elves may be even less confident.
They have seen many civilizations fall like meteors, and humans are just one of them.
This is also the reason why the elves do not show hatred towards humans.
Because in their eyes, if human beings are a short-sighted civilization, it will not be long before they will be like those extinct civilizations and complete the process of decline and destruction in a few years.
In their eyes, they may even think that such a civilization is very sad, just like a summer insect that cannot speak of ice.
Will humans be as short-sighted as summer insects?
Maybe not all, but there are certainly short-sighted individuals.
Lu Heng looked up at the gray sky and said leisurely: "I hope I can see the result. Whether it is light or darkness, even if I fall into the abyss in the end, at least I have tried hard."
Fiona could feel Lu Heng's unique temperament and said with interest: "You are different from the last batch of humans recruited. There were bandits among the last batch of humans."
There is no way to prohibit the existence of raiding teams among human supernatural beings.
Because the abyss battlefield is a lawless place, there is only one standard for all codes of conduct, and that is morality.
And such an ethereal thing as morality only exists in civilization.
It is because after wisdom cultivates civilization, there are no substantive behavioral norms.
Lu Heng did not deny her accusation and replied calmly: "In any civilization composed of multiple individuals, there will be evil individuals."
This sentence is the truth and applies to any civilization, including the elves.
A smile appeared on Fiona's face, she stretched out her hand and said: "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Fiona, the general of the Queen's Guards of Quel'dorei, and the counselor of the civilization of another world directly under the Queen. Hello, allies from the human world. , I hope we can work together to find a way to purify the abyss.”
Her wording changed from "friends from the human world" to "allies from the human world."
This is a huge attitude change.
Lu Heng didn't expect to gain the trust of the Elf female general so quickly, so he quickly reached out and shook her hand.
The action of shaking hands is part of the etiquette of human civilization. Fiona learned it from the previous batch of human superpowers and used it to express friendliness.
At this moment, Lu Heng saw that the first main mission was completed.
The first main mission is to find the Elf King City of Koros and establish diplomatic relations with the Elf people.
I had been helping out in the workshop in Kolos City for many days, and my reputation among the elves had improved a lot, but the first main mission was never completed.
I didn't expect that the mission conditions would be achieved at this time.
This task actually requires the elves to recognize their status as allies before it can be completed.
Not only did Lu Heng show that he had completed it, but all the recruited human superpowers in the entire Queldorei continent had completed this task at the same time.
This mission is a collective mission. The original intention is for all human superpowers to work together to establish diplomatic relations with the elven civilization and reach an alliance.
Under normal circumstances, this mission should only be achieved when meeting the Elf Queen.
However, Fiona's identity is quite special, and she came with a secret mission from the Elf Queen. She also has the identity of being the diplomatic counselor of a civilization in another world, and can handle diplomatic matters on behalf of the Elf Queen Oriana.
When she left the city of Koros, Oriana gave her this power to decide her relationship with humans.
She saw a different temperament in Lu Heng, and Lu Heng had cracked the trap of this magic spring water escort mission.
So she decided to form an alliance, but currently only trusts humans represented by Lu Heng, not every human being.
The reason why the alliance was reached so quickly was not just because of this chat.
Lu Heng was in Kolos City, helping the elves to temper their weapons. Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu and others in the team were also helping.
There was also the information provided when meeting the Elf Queen Aureana, and the stacking of multiple reputations led to this result.
In addition, there is another reason that promotes the establishment of diplomatic relations between the elves, and that is time.
There are only ten days left before the end of the Abyss Battlefield.
In other words, there will definitely be a crisis within ten days.
The elves have been recruited to many abyss battlefields and know the rules of the abyss battlefield very well, so they know that this crisis will definitely come.
They need human help to prevent this crisis from coming.
However, not every human being is trustworthy.
The elves need to choose someone they can trust from among the human superpowers as soon as possible.
That's why we had this mission to escort the magic spring.
Before Fiona left the city of Kolos, Queen Oleanna gave her an order that as long as there was anyone among the humans who could withstand this test, she would choose one of them to become an ally.
Lu Heng gathered a meeting of human superpowers and solved this test in advance.
That's why this alliance came about.
Just as the two shook hands, two cries suddenly came from the sky.
One sound was from the Chongming Bird, and the other was from the Hippogryph.
"Coming!"
Fiona put her fingers in her mouth, blew a whistle, and called the hippogryph to swoop down. Then she jumped onto the back of the hippogryph, rushed into the sky, and turned back to shout to Lu Heng on the ground:
"The escort team is attacked. Defend the enemy first, and we will discuss the rest later."
