Chapter 517 63 Although the Leader Died Unexpectedly, Doesn’t the Work Still Need to Be Continued?
Chapter 517 63. Although the leader died in an accident, don’t we still have to continue working?
"These are the coordinates of all worlds that contain the Speed Force. They have been rearranged. Theoretically, there is at least one Speedster in these worlds.
If he had founded the Lightning Family, then perhaps there would be more. "
In Xili's office, the hunter who had been "reborn" full of energy after a few minutes of fragile hugs returned to his former self.
She handed the compiled coordinates to Mason, then picked up her coffee cup and said:
"But the problem now is that if the speedsters don't want to be found by you, things will become very troublesome, and if the fourth impact is approaching, those speedsters should be busy dealing with the situation.
There is no fuel-efficient light in the world that has survived the first three impacts. We have already tested it before in the third impact, and the previous 'bye' situation will no longer happen again.
In other words, the world that can survive now has at least one 'human life' in its hands. Can you understand what I mean? "
"certainly."
Mason looked at the document in his hand. After confirming that there was no problem, he raised his head and said to the female boss who had regained her composure:
"The world that has experienced life and death will become barbaric. This is exactly what the Hope Council wants to see. A group of stars that speak with violence has formed, and it is difficult to have friendly discussions with them.
Maybe you have to use some means, or choose the right target. "
He rubbed his chin, moved his fingers on the document, then pointed to one of the coordinates and said to Shirley:
"This world, you marked later, is in a long-term war? What is this situation?"
"That's literally what happened."
Xili took a sip of coffee, brushed her long silver hair and said:
"You are no longer a rookie, and you should have some understanding of the situation of the conquerors.
They are not just wasting time by preserving such a huge military force. When there is no assembly mission, each conqueror legion has its own 'war needs' to solve.
In most cases, these invasion wars will end within a few months, but there are exceptions, such as the world you chose, which we codenamed 'Lord' in the parallel world system."
"Ah, I've heard of that name!"
Mason remembered it all at once.
He nodded and said:
"Zha Kang's little pet Emilia is a vassal of the stars in a plane world very close to this world.
She said that the Liquidators had established troop transport depots on her world to sustain the long war, and that the Overlord's world had thwarted several Conqueror attacks.
They look like they can really play. "
"That's what I say, but in fact, the No. 1 Conqueror Sequence has always been solely responsible for that world, so the scale of the invasion they encountered was far smaller than that of the Gotham world.
Although it is not a low-intensity war, it is definitely not as severe as you think. The long-term battle has exhausted them, so it is quite appropriate to use this world as a breakthrough point. "
Lord Hunter nodded and said:
"Since you have a guide, you don't need special arrangements from me, right? You can go there by yourself and I won't care. As before, if you encounter any trouble, please contact us in time.
It's time for you to go now. The warlock is dead, and all his work has been handed over to me and the swordsman, but I don't dare to entrust these matters to Liana.
Something will happen. "
She waved her hand to indicate that Mason could leave, and then returned to the desk.
Mason looked at the hunter who had regained his composure and picked up the file. He smiled, waved goodbye, walked to the door and just opened the office door when he heard the sound of wind behind him.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, he saw the sky full of silver hair spread out in front of his eyes, and the cold lips were touching his mouth.
The hunter's expression at this moment is like this:
(°‵′).
Female bosses are like this, and it would be rude to push her away at this time, so Mason shrugged, leaned down and kissed her firmly.
Two minutes later, Mason panted slightly and said:
"It's time for me to leave. If I don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."
"You might as well speak more clearly!"
Xili patted her red cheeks and gritted her teeth and said:
"Are you suggesting that I continue to the next step? You little idiot, I still have such self-control. You can get out! Don't appear in front of me recently. I will go to you when I am not calm enough."
After saying that, Mason was pushed out of the office, the mahogany door slammed shut, and the hunter leaned against the closed door and gasped for air.
She rubbed her hot cheeks and whispered:
"It was so close. Shiri, Shiri, it's not like you haven't seen a man before. Look at what a waste you look like! I really want to punch you in the face to wake you up."
She said this to herself, and then stood up, twisting her waist uncomfortably just after taking two steps.
Damn it!
I need to change my pants.
——
"Haha, the energy of young people is really enviable."
Outside the hunter's office, Mason was still slapping his face and planning to smoke a cigarette to calm down, when he heard the laughing voice of an old man coming from the side.
He turned around and saw that the new logistics instructor "Thunder" Shazam, who was wearing a great wizard's robe, was looking at him from a short distance with a smile and a lightning staff.
The old man had met Mason before.
He was also the first buyer when he first started making dark moon cards, and he also got the talisman that he uses very smoothly now from this old man.
It can be said that he is the "noble man" in the early stage of Team K.
"Salute to you, Grand Master."
Mason took off his cigarette and bowed to Mr. Shazam.
The latter shrugged, walked up to Mason and made a tacit gesture between old smokers. The young man immediately handed over the Silka cigarettes in his bag and lit them for the old man with a deluminator.
"A lighter is good."
As expected of a veteran powerhouse, he had a very sharp eye. He saw at a glance that Mason's Deluminator was unusual. While asking for it to play with, he leaned his staff against the window and complained to Mason:
"It's not good to become a great mentor. I have to give myself a new nickname to distinguish myself. I originally wanted to continue to be called 'Thunder', but they said it didn't fit the style.
I have no choice but to change my name to 'Wizard'. "
"This is Mephisto's habit. The devil is always obsessed with these details. It's almost like he has obsessive-compulsive disorder."
Mason laughed, blew out a smoke ring, and said to the white-bearded old man in front of him:
"You are taking over the position of a warlock, and you may be regarded as a confidant by Mephisto. Your future is extremely bright. I am here to congratulate you in advance."
"You are speaking sarcastically. You are not envious at all. You are just testing my opinion of you, old man."
The old wizard snorted and flicked the cigarette ashes out of the window in a very social manner. He said:
"My opinion is that I have no opinion. The hunter who kissed you just now should have told you before that I represent the camp and interests of the Rongers in the Association of Stars. This has been the case in the past and will be the case in the future.
Do not worry.
The reason why the ronin are called ronin is because they are unwilling to get involved in the messy affairs of the Association of Stars. I only exist to ensure that bad things like this time will not spread to them.
You don’t have to worry about what impact my appointment will have on your career. Although we are not friends or fellow travelers, we can at least watch the fire from the other side and not add insult to injury. "
"I feel relieved now."
Mason flicked the ash from his cigarette. He actually had a pretty good impression of Mr. Shazam. The old man fit his image of a "worldly master" very well.
He thought for a while and then said:
"This time the war was able to advance to victory so quickly, thanks to your role in it. We all know what happened in Kandak. The establishment of the neutral zone was truly a stroke of genius."
"Hey, hey, boy, you can't just say something without evidence! Although we are just acquaintances, if you talk nonsense, I will still tell you to slander you."
Old Shazam, who looked calm just now, immediately waved his hands and said:
"I just did what I should do as a neutral. I know that many Blazers join the Association of Stars just to make a living and don't really support this organization.
There is no problem with the strength of this group of workers. If I really force them to die, something will happen, and I am trying my best to prevent the situation from slipping out of control.
Mason, I actually know what you're trying to say talking to me here.
But what I’m telling you is, it’s not the time yet. "
The old wizard waved his hands and said to Mason:
"Your ambition to overthrow the Society of Stars shocked many Ronin. They cheered loudly for you, but don't lose yourself in the calls of 'hero'.
If you want to gain their support, you must first understand the demands of this group.
Let me ask you, do you know what these wanderers who are outside the system of the Association of Stars want most? "
The question silenced Mason.
He thought for a moment and said:
“I used to think it should be freedom, but later I realized that in this era, so-called freedom is just a synonym for the law of the jungle, but the ronls don’t like the constraints of rules. They are a very complicated group.
So if you ask me to give you an answer, I would say that what they want is actually the past.
To put it simply, they want to return to the stable life of the past.
You no longer have to worry about a shock that will destroy everything you have worked so hard to accumulate, nor do you have to face the distress of being forced to stay outside the system.
They don't really care who is in power.
They just hope that these bad things will not spread to them and interfere with the lives of their wives and children.
Am i right? "
"It's pretty much the same."
The old wizard curled his lips. Obviously Mason didn't give the answer he recognized most in his heart, but this answer was barely enough.
After enjoying the tobacco, the old man stretched his body and picked up his lightning staff again.
He said to Mason:
"The various matters left by the warlock are still piled up there. I have to go back and get busy. Oh, by the way, there is no need to worry about your office romance with the hunter being exposed. I am a very strict person."
After saying that, the old and crooked guy grinned, turned around and left.
Behind him, Mason put out his cigarette butt and said:
"If I can find a way to end the impact, will I get the full support of the Ronins? Will they follow me to face the darkness beyond the crisis?"
"They will march for you, they will level everything in front of you, they will fight to heaven and destroy hell for you, they will bury all darkness and extinguish all light for you."
The old wizard did not look back. Amidst the sound of the staff touching the ground, he whispered:
"As long as you can give them a little hope, they will give you the world in return. We don't want much at all, Mason, but it's a pity that in this era, no one will pay attention to our humble desires.
Mephisto thought that by appointing me, he could indirectly control the Ronin.
But it can't.
The devil is not who we need, so now the question is, Mason, are you the one we expected to show up? Behold, an army is prepared, dear Mason Cooper.
It is waiting for its commander.
Want this kind of power? "
"Who wouldn't?"
Mason laughed, and then saw the old man with a white beard looking back at him angrily and yelling:
"Then why are you standing still? If you want something, just go for it! Are you very free now? Do you still have time to stay here and play the Riddler game with me?
Go back and do your work, okay? "
"As you command, Lord Wizard."
Mason leaned over to say goodbye. As he turned to leave, something was thrown over him. Mason caught it with his backhand and looked down and found a strange little card.
Just like a business card.
But there is only a simple line of words on it, with "Forgiveness of all sins" written on the front and "Freed from hell" on the reverse.
"I like this lighter very much. It's mine."
The old wizard waved Mason's Deluminator shamelessly and said to him:
"That card is a gift from me. If you really can't find a way to save the person who has been hidden in your heart, then remember to let her take this card when you say goodbye to her for the final time.
I don’t know where it will send the soul, but it’s probably great to avoid falling into hell. "
This is really good stuff!
Mason looked at the card in his hand. If he remembered correctly, this thing should be a collection of Dr. Destiny in a certain world. He didn't know how it got into the hands of old Shazam.
Its information label popped up in front of Mason's eyes:
Absolution card/get out of hell card/pass to heaven
Quality: Inscribed artifact·Immortal craftsmanship
Effect: Burn the card to forgive all sins. If the concept of "heaven" exists in the plane, the soul will be sent to the entrance of heaven where it believes. If there is no concept of "heaven" in the plane, the soul will be sent to other random dimensions except hell. .
Producer: Naboo, God of Order
Item Description: Now do you know where the inspiration for the Church’s “Indulgences” came from?
hint!
The pardon card drawings are included, and you need Inscription Literature Level 10 and perfect mastery of the divine inscriptions of any pantheon before you can try to make it.
"Thank you, Lord Wizard."
Mason put the card away. He knew that it was actually a "colleague gift" that the old wizard lent his hand to transfer to Ciri. However, when the old wizard turned to leave, Mason suddenly remembered something.
He quickly stepped forward and asked:
"The charm you gave me last time."
"Nope."
Old Shazam blew his beard and scolded:
"What's the matter with you young man? Do you even want to plot against a lonely old wizard's last fortune?"
"No, I mean, I'm going to practice making a set."
Mason pouted and said:
"I just wanted to ask if you need it. If so, I'll get one for you another day. Now that you're also my boss, you really should have some proper relationships.
Do you have any hobbies in your daily life? Why don't I give you a purple clay pot or something so you can have some tea if you have nothing to do. "
"Oh my, you young man is so sensible."
The old wizard immediately said with a smile:
"Of course, I need it very much. A set of spells is very useful in low-intensity battles.
But I’ll give you a suggestion. When that thing takes effect in a complete set, it will summon an evil god to wreak havoc, so you have to plan its source of power in advance when making it.
Find some powerful creature and give it magical powers.
Or use divinity to reshape them. Well, forget it. You are a 'divine insulator'. Don't harm those poor weak gods. "
He patted Mason on the shoulder and said:
"Young man, do your work well, and I will not treat you badly. If you do well this time, you will be greatly rewarded!"
