Chapter 157 The Lazy City
The morning mist gradually dispersed.
In a deep garden courtyard, Xiao En's figure was suspended thirty centimeters above the ground. He was wearing a loose black robe, surrounded by a star The energy balls that manifest in the real world are earth, water, wind, and fire.
These energy spheres that gathered together and flew around his figure for a whole night, until he opened his eyes and then gradually dissipated in the air.
A night of meditation.
Xiao En slowly opened his eyes, and a faint divine glimmer circulated, making his eyes look like deep abyss, as if absorbing the surrounding light. He gently raised a finger, and what he saw in front of him was The stone table automatically floated into the air at a height of one meter.
——Psychic power.
Xiao En's road to destiny has entered the second stage. As his extraordinary level gradually approaches the upper limit of twenty, he also needs to further improve the power of arcane and spiritual pathways, and let himself move closer to the limit of 20. Only in this way can we survive the final 'heavenly tribulation'.
Of course, this is just his own opinion. There is no so-called "heavenly calamity" in the weird country, but if you want to realize the destiny, you must integrate the laws of the world.
Currently, the Law of Destiny is in the hands of the old days, and this process is similar to overcoming a tribulation.
——"Thought Probe (6th level spell): You can learn all the memory and knowledge of the target, including those deeply buried memories."
Eight hours of meditation.
The psychic stone in Xiao En's palm shattered into powder, and he learned a new psychic spell.
The ability of the psychic scholar is a bit close to that of the mage. He is very resource-hungry. Psionic stones can be used as materials for learning new spells. However, in the weird country, this kind of strange object is relatively rare. You must go to a planet ruled by weird monsters to get it. Obtained in bulk.
Most of Xiao En's current resources come from Abyss City.
"With my current strength, am I capable of interstellar travel?"
"Can I steal a strange interstellar battleship?"
Xiao En deduced it carefully, and finally decided I decided to wait a little longer. The threshold for the Star Mage is the legendary level. His strength is close to the destiny legend, but he lacks sufficient foundation. However, grabbing a strange star battleship can make a qualitative leap in his background, but the risks involved are too great, and he may need to find some help.
It would be too arrogant to directly challenge a strange interstellar battleship without forming a team or starting a group.
"Suen is not in a distant country at the moment, this is the best opportunity."
"If Su En comes back."
"It will be very difficult for me to grab another weird star battleship."
Some things require luck, and even more need to grasp luck.
Build by yourself where robbery can come quickly. Eamon once said that in this galaxy, there is a strange interstellar fleet stationed somewhere in space.
Shawn must take action before his old consciousness returns.
There was a sound of soft footsteps.
In the corridor of the villa garden, a enchanting veiled woman walked slowly. She was wearing a black tights, with a bandage and dagger tied to her thigh. Her figure completely blended into the shadows. , after seeing Xiao En wake up from meditation, the mistress bowed her head respectfully and said: "Lord Eamon."
"This is the selected list, all of them are slaves."
The matron is promoted very quickly.
People who have experienced the baptism of death will quickly transform and grow.
Xiao En raised his hand gently, and the list fell into his palm. He glanced at it lightly and said: "Very good. I will leave these people to your command and organize the Shadow Guards as soon as possible."
He is here In reality, the country still needs a group of its own team.
There are many professional paths, and there are only a few kinds of extraordinary beings that can be mass-produced, such as warriors, thieves, rangers, etc., all of which are concentrated in the melee system. The spellcasting system is difficult to mass-produce because the caster consumes There are simply too many resources.
Xiao En prefers to train rangers and thieves. The former is good at firearms. When equipped with the Infernal Roar Cannon, his combat effectiveness is quite amazing. The latter is good at stealth assassination and is the first echelon to spy on information.
Currently, he is studying attribute templates, which is a digital test of other people's basic attributes.
Both rangers and thieves need to meet the standards of strength, agility and constitution. The constitution can be slightly lower, but agility is really not good. People who are not agile enough will find it difficult to exert sufficient strength after being promoted to thieves.
"Basic attributes cannot be specifically tested. Many people are promoted in the wrong direction. Only by using strengths and avoiding weaknesses can they realize their potential."
There are twelve people on the list, all of whom are at the bottom.
Xiao En is going to raise some dead soldiers.
From the perspective of a death supporter, orphans, slaves, and people of low status are definitely more suitable.
It will take some time for these people to grow up.
But fortunately, the promotion of extraordinary people in the weird country is a leapfrog. As long as they have enough resources, they will be promoted very quickly. The promotion system of the Weird Kingdom is too resource-intensive. With Xiao En's current wealth, he cannot raise too many extraordinary people.
Xiao En stood up and said: "I am leaving today."
"I will leave the affairs here to you for the time being. If you have any questions, please contact Doctor Monster."
The mistress bowed her head respectfully when she heard this and said, "Yes. Lord Eamon."
The entire Twilight Town has been overhauled by Xiao En, but the original smuggling routes have not changed much. The only difference is that these smuggled people have fallen into Xiao En's control. He doesn't want to alert others yet, and plans to select potential targets from these teams and train them to become extraordinary beings. This time Xiao En purged most of Twilight Town's powerful class, and the wealth he controlled reached an astonishing tens of millions of dinars. It wasn't because of this wave of house confiscation, but he really didn't know these people were so rich.
No wonder ancient emperors liked to raid their homes.
Actually, this is quite normal. The old dignitaries in Twilight Town have been in business for decades, committing robbery, robbery, abduction, abduction, smuggling and selling. They do all kinds of things. They are similar to the local tycoons in ancient times. .
Xiao En is planning to open a smuggling channel, not to the Dorne area, but to Abyss City, because that is where there is a steady stream of mid- to low-level extraordinary relics.
The breath of the spiritual world penetrates into the real country, and the era of change is about to begin.
As long as there are resources, ordinary people can become extraordinary.
"Population, resources."
"Resources can be found, but population can only be obtained from the real country. The population of the weird country is too small."
Twilight Town is just a small place with a population of tens of thousands, and it is not worthy of Xiao En to waste too much energy. The changes he has brought about have just begun, and have not yet reached the moment of complete explosion.
A luxurious motorcade left Twilight Town at noon.
When the carriage passed the city gate, a mature and charming lady opened the curtain and glanced at the crowded notice board. Lady Yvonne, her husband was once a brilliant tailor and later became a wealthy man. cloth merchant. But all this is in the past, her husband was plotted to go bankrupt and commit suicide, and she herself became someone else's plaything.
The beautiful lady looked down at the devil tattoo hidden on her abdomen, with a hint of satisfaction after revenge on her face.
The adult helped her to be promoted to a transcendent of the demon path, and then handed over to her the culprits who caused her family to be destroyed. No one knew what happened in the room that night, but The man's shrill screams never stopped, and by the time the beautiful lady came out, she seemed to be a vampire countess soaked in blood.
"Lord Eamonn." In the darkness of dawn, Lady Yvonne knelt down on one knee and humbly knelt down in front of the Lord.
The adult's eyes were calm. He stared at the bright moon in the sky and waited quietly for others to come out. Soon, a pair of charming sisters slowly walked out, with a cruel vengeful smile on their lips, and the sister's palm He even held a piece of human face skin peeled off alive.
The figures of the rickety beggar, the lame groom, and the flattering attendant emerged in the darkness.
Xiao En looked at them calmly and said calmly: "From today on, you will be a member of the Doomsday Circus."
It's a pity that there is no clown.
Not everyone can play the clown.
The Doomsday Legion under Eamon was once again reorganized, but this time the candidates were selected by Xiao En himself. Some of them survive to the end, and if they fail in promotion, someone will inherit their title.
“What’s written on it?”
A traveling businessman’s inquiry awakened Ms. Yvonne, who was thinking a lot.
She sat upright again, smiled and reached out to caress the sleepy little girl beside her. In her hand was a strange piece of leather with some weird tissues visible on it. Threading the needle and thread, it is being sewn into a piece of leather armor.
“The city hall seems to be planning to increase investment in education. They have finally done some personnel work.”
A middle-aged man wearing glasses replied: "They plan to rebuild a school next to the lake in the villa area."
Spread knowledge.
Starting with the mortals, Xiao En did not carry out drastic reforms in Twilight Town. He only spent part of the town's expenses on the education of ordinary people. If it were a peaceful era, Xiao En might be able to condense the laws of knowledge by educating everyone about literacy, but now he obviously doesn't have that much time. That is a task that will take decades to complete. But just because you don’t have enough time doesn’t mean you can’t do it. If you can change something, it’s a little bit.
"Mom." The little girl curled up and leaned into her mother's arms.
The experience during this period seemed like a nightmare to her. In her sleepy eyes, a strange glimmer of light was gathering in her pupils.
Ms. Yvonne stroked her daughter's back lovingly and said softly: "Go to sleep."
"Everything is over."
The convoy quickly continued to move forward, The lame coachman waved his whip and whispered a few words to the horses pulling the cart, and soon the group passed through the dilapidated city gate illuminated by the sun.
Xiao En left a seed here. What it will grow into depends on time.
However, he issued ‘guns’ to ordinary people.
………………
Around the city.
This is the most densely populated big city in the Dagon region, with a population of nearly one million. However, it is different from Dorne because you can smell the smell of feces even from a distance. There is a foul smell and the rivers surrounding the city are filled with filth and garbage, so that the residents of the city have to find other ways to get drinking water. The population is too dense, the environment is seriously polluted, and there are no supporting public facilities. The ring city has created countless dark corners under the towering city walls.
In the early morning, the air here is filled with the smell of urine, because residents dump chamber pots directly from upstairs into the streets and alleys.
Xiao En's figure strolled among the bustling crowd.
He had been frowning since he entered the city, because he felt like he was entering a cesspit. The whole city seemed like a huge open-air dry toilet, but everyone here seemed to be used to it.
Flies flying all over the sky are laying eggs in the corners of the sewer. The feces along the way have even dried up, with no sign of being taken care of at all. The ragged beggar is lying in the pile of feces and urine with a lazy expression on his face. Even begging for people is a little careless, as if he doesn't care whether he will starve to death.
Sloth!
Too lazy!
Compared with the industrious and busy working people in Dorne, the people living here are incredibly lazy, and the whole city exudes an aura of despair and decadence.
People's expressions are extremely numb and skinny, and there is almost no life on their faces. It is as if they have only an empty shell left in their long-term depressed life. They are tired from running around for three meals a day. After barely completing the necessary work for survival, they once again entered a state of incomparable laziness and numbness.
The devil's law is just around the corner.
Xiao En saw an old beggar lying in the corner basking in the sun. He looked quite strong, but very thin. The outline of muscles was exposed under the wrinkled skin. He should have been a strong man. The laborer's right leg was rotten and covered in sores, but he didn't care. He just looked at the passers-by with a strange, numb expression of contentment. He even drew a little pus and blood from the wound and put it on the He licked it in his mouth, and finally showed a slightly silly smile.
With such an injury, he should be in pain, or even dead.
But he seemed to have lost consciousness.
There are so many flies and maggots here that it's a bit disgusting. You can even see rats walking across the street, but nearby pedestrians completely ignore them. Only hungry beggars will suddenly stretch out their hands, which is a bit uncharacteristic of ordinary people. He grabbed them with his hands, put them in his mouth and chewed them.
In a similarly dirty hotel.
Akdina Du'u stood in front of Xiao En with a solemn expression and said solemnly: "Lord Xiao En."
"The Huancheng in the past was not like this."< br>
“All these changes started two years ago, and they are gradually showing signs of getting worse.”
Xiao En stared at Akdina, who looked haggard, her hair was a little dry, and her eyes had faint dark circles. She no longer had the brilliance she once had in Abyss City, and her beautiful face was like a flower withering away, revealing a trace of incomparable Tiredness and numbness.
Xiao En stretched out his palm and stroked Akdina Du'a's long hair. Suddenly, he pinched out a live head louse like lightning. It was already full of blood, hehe. With a sound, the crushed head lice splattered with blood.
Xiao En's eyes were deep and he said calmly: "How long has it been since you took a good bath?"
Akdina Du'an trembled all over, and her whole body froze in place. .
Xiao En stretched out his hand and caressed her cheek, and said calmly: "Go and take a bath. If you need anything, we'll talk about it after you wake up."
He reached out and opened a secret door leading to the mage's mansion.
Akdina Du'a was also tricked.
After sending her figure into the mage's secret door, Xiao En turned his head and stared at the tall black spire in the distance, whispering: "Old days..."
Under the night.
Xiao En's figure flew out. After leaving the area where ordinary people lived, he smelled a pungent and sweet perfume, as if the entire uptown area had been soaked in perfume. Generally, under the cover of the strong perfume smell, Xiao En smelled a stench of decay from within.
——The fragrance is a diluted odor.
Xiao En slowly landed, and he saw a luxurious dinner being held by a nobleman. A large number of guests gathered at the table to feast, with fat bodies, pale skin, and eyes full of hunger for food. , you can still vaguely see their handsome and beautiful faces when they lost weight.
There are many extraordinary people among them, but their bodies are more muscular, and they are like a small mountain of flesh compared to ordinary people.
Everyone is accustomed to all this. They spray perfume, apply powder, and dress themselves up as before. However, under Xiao En’s spiritual vision, their plump heads reflect the shape of pigs. A generally ferocious face.
At this moment, Xiao En also felt a hint of hunger.
