727 Seeing Voodoo Again
? (text updated early in the morning)
After Kane mastered the corresponding emotional judgment parameters, combined with disciplinary measures, he quickly opened Kunta's mouth.
However, after all, Kunta is just a peripheral member who can be dismissed with a small amount of money, not even a real horse boy, but the kind of gangster who takes all kinds of odd jobs.
Therefore, the quality and quantity of information that can be provided are very limited, and Kane does not dare to believe it, lest there are traps in it.
Fortunately, there is at least one clue to advance, and that is to find Brother Jamie who issued the mission to Kunta.
Kane acted efficiently. When he appeared in front of Jamie, it was less than half an hour after Kunta called Jamie.
Jamie is a kind-hearted and kind-hearted elderly black man with loose skin and gray hair. He runs an unattractive-looking grocery store. The store is small and there are not many goods. A considerable part of it is second-hand and scattered. It's a bit like just wanting to earn a little money for retirement.
However, experience tells Kane that selling groceries in this store is only superficial, and selling stolen goods is the real money-making business.
When Kane came to the door, Jamie acted calmly, and did not pretend to be ignorant or ignorant, but with a look of confidence, sitting lazily in the armchair, holding a small glass and sipping a deep drink. Red medicinal wine, said: "Mr. Fox is indeed an elite investigator, he came so fast, do you want to talk about Lana? Please sit down."
Kane nodded and said: "We need to talk. I heard that Brother Jamie takes good care of his own people. Is Kunta yours? How about an exchange? We can still be friends."
"Hahaha!" Jamie seemed to have heard a very funny joke. He laughed and laughed, "You are the best bargaining businessman I have ever seen."
Kane didn't seem to notice the teasing meaning in Jamie's words, and continued to bargain in a serious manner: "So, I have to add some other conditions as bargaining chips?"
Jamie's face straightened, he put down his wine glass, and said forcefully, "No, that kid Kunta can't be used as a bargaining chip at all. Mr. Fox is free to beat him up or send him to prison."
Kane nodded, "Understood, although the answer you gave was not what I wanted, but it turns out that I was not wrong in advance."
Jamie is also a human being. When he heard this, his face changed suddenly. His left hand touched the bottom of the chair from the side, and his right hand picked up the wine bottle on the small coffee table next to the chair, just like Kane smashed it.
However, Kane is obviously faster,
When the words fell, the man had already exerted all his strength and began to rush forward. When Jamie threw the wine bottle, Kane made a sharp turn and slid, and then flashed to Jamie's side, holding Jamie's left shoulder with one hand, and the other A hand pinched his neck from behind, and lifted him up like a chicken.
Just this time, Jamie was like a seven-inch snake being caught, with no back move, his arms and legs drooping, as if his tendons had been severed.
"For a guy like you, I'm more used to this way of talking."
As Kane said, he grabbed the skin of Jamie's neck and chest junction with the hand that had pressed Jamie's left shoulder before, and saw that the skin was like a thick layer of felt, and Kane forced it up, and then tore it hard .
As a result, it was like tearing the wallpaper that had been soaked in water from the wall. Jamie's skin, including his clothes, were all peeled off like Kane.
However, this should have been an extremely bloody operation, but the actual effect was much worse. After the skin was thoroughly cleaned, Jamie did not reveal bloody muscle fibers and ligaments, but black and red muscles.
This tendon is like dried meat with sauce. Although it is sticky, it still does not prevent it from showing the characteristics of being dry and lacking in moisture, and having nothing to do with freshness.
It gives the impression that the skin that was torn off by Kane was half worn and half glued on.
In fact, this skin is really Jamie's, but Jamie's skin can be treated like leather clothing. Of course, the specific maintenance method is definitely not just the one for leather clothing, but more complicated and involves Extraordinary domain.
A voodoo who has lived for hundreds of years by 'raising skin' to cover up the facts, this is Jamie's true identity.
Walking through the difficult Howling corridors is a relief, but never an invigorating one.
Gobi desert, gravel wilderness, no trees at all, even thorns and plants are scattered, the sky is chaotic and cloudy, flowing and rolling, as fast as a galloping horse, but never exhausted, the sun can only reveal a short moment from the occasional gap, see On the ground, the light of the sun and the shadow of the cloud form the irregular vein-shaped light wave flow that is relatively easy to see on the sandy surface of the river bottom projected by the sun, creating a strange and alternative atmosphere together with the strong wind.
When any life faces such a landscape, it will inevitably feel that this is a forbidden place for life.
Then, under the dark clouds, at the end of their field of vision, the knights saw the eye of Karok Shash, which was still shining brightly even in daytime.
The reason why the Church of the Silver Flame is willing to send a knight order here is mainly for it. This is an irrefutable miracle, and the Holy Flame Fountain of the Silver Flame Cathedral pales in comparison.
Hilma Rahzan, a senior priest accompanying the team, confirmed: "It is indeed a silver flame, majestic and unparalleled, like the light of the sun. This is the characteristic of the eye of true sight for eleventh-level spells."
In the world of Dungeons and Dragons, mortal spells reach their peak at level 9, and legendary spells are at level 10. Of course, the most famous spell is the 12th-level spell Kasar, the great arcanist Kasar, who surpassed legends, used this to kill Fei The first goddess of magic in the Lun world.
The horses were whipped, the wheels were rolling, and the cavalry headed towards the direction called the Eye of the Holy Light by the Church of the Silver Flame.
Two days later, the Great Grim Fort gradually revealed its appearance on the gravel field.
Its majesty lies not only in itself, but also in the contrast of its surroundings.
If it is in the shadowy and steep rocky area with thousands of cliffs, it is nothing in terms of height and volume, but here is the wilderness, and the largest common gravel is no more than the height of a person, with a diameter of a few meters. Next, the Great Grim Fort looks super majestic.
"Where did the Creator get such a huge monolith?" Graveson couldn't help but sigh.
"I heard that the creator has the skill of turning earth into stone. This kind of stone is different from rocks in the true sense. They are stronger than steel, and they can also absorb magic energy to a considerable extent, and further strengthen them. The longer the years, the stronger they become. "The accompanying investigation commissioner Gadot Elson of the Kelanbao Library said so.
The Koranberg Library is an organization, and investigators are unique professions in the Eberron world, and they are particularly good at solving mysterious events.
Investigators can be regarded as an advanced profession, and at the same time, there are specific professional scopes. Elson belongs to foreign affairs, has some characteristics of explorers, and is more capable than internal investigators.
Level 7 Rogue, Level 5 Ranger, and Level 4 Investigator, Gadot's total level is as high as 16, and he has already ranked among the first-class powerhouses of mortal creatures.
The Koranberg Library attaches great importance to the Creator Clan, so it did not hesitate to ask for a participation seat from the Church of the Silver Flame, and sent her to come.
Graveson and Hilma also hope to meet the Creator. Although they are both members of the church, their starting points are different. Graveson is military-oriented, while Hilma is religious-oriented.
The knights were welcomed by the Gashkara tribe, and the newly added sand lizard cavalry from the tribe welcomed them into the city.
Gashkara has always had the tradition of raising giant sand lizards for transportation, and the Haroon tribe also has this tradition, or in other words, most of the intelligent creatures living in the demon wasteland have this tradition.
It’s just that the conditions in the past did not allow it, and Gashkara mainly guarded the entrances and exits of the Mifeng Valley and patrolled the valley, unlike the Haroon tribe who lived a hunting and nomadic life, so the number of domestication was limited.
Now with the logistics system provided by Kane, raising sand lizards is a matter of course, so the paladins formed the tribe's first Sashko Knights with sand lizards as rides.
Paladins are good at using a variety of weapons and can make better use of armor. At the same time, most of them have received riding training. As church knights, they are still qualified.
The Silver Flame Knights also have to admit that their ground turtle brothers have perfected the entire system under the premise of guaranteed hardware, and their performance in all aspects is not much worse than them.
Of course, the Silver Flame Knights are still able to teach the Gashkara tribe, such as military knowledge, riding skills, joint strike skills, and combat skills. The skills used by the Gashkara tribe members are still too rough .
In the face of the same belief, the fighters of the Gashkara tribe can still accept the Silver Flame Knight, but they have also always looked down upon each other, thinking that most of them are little boys with only flamboyant fists and legs.
The misunderstandings between the two sides obviously faded with this exchange. Generally speaking, the Silver Flame Knights were more shocked. The skills honed by the blood and fire of the Gashkara warriors are indeed more practical, and their skills The teamwork is also great.
In contrast, the battle formation skills of the Silver Flame Knights are more used to deal with a large number of enemies whose strength is not much different, or even generally inferior. This Gashkara is generally not used.
They hardly ever engage in large-scale battles with the Harrown tribe, and the most common enemies that need to be dealt with by all members are often the kind of extremely powerful BOSS monsters. However, the Silver Flame Knights have not made much achievements in this regard, and even Not as good as the Gashkara tribe.
To put it bluntly, the Silver Flame Knights are used to winning by defeating the weak, while the Gashkara tribe is always the weaker side in the battle, good at fighting in unfavorable situations, or even in desperate situations. This situation did not change until the Green Umbrella Group stepped in.
Now the changes in Gashkara have been widely spread in the Demon Wasteland. The Harion tribe once organized an attack on Gashda, and ran away halfway through the attack. The main reason is that the Gashkara tribe still lacks the use of the fortress to fight. With a lot of experience, he showed all the defensive firepower prematurely. Although the people of the Harion tribe were bloodthirsty and perverted, they were not short-hearted.
The more lively fight was the sand master's attack on a fang castle.
The sneak attack turned into a strong attack, the strong attack became a fortification, and the fortification became a pique. In the end, most of the people in the Tusk Fort were killed, but the price paid by the sand master was also shocking, and the exchange ratio was almost 1: 2. In the past, the sand masters often traded 1 for 7 or even 1 for 10. In the end, when the reinforcements from the Gashkara tribe arrived, the sand masters could only retreat unhappily, and finally failed to win the fangs fort.
Watching and helping each other, this can be regarded as a new change that Kane brought to the Gashkara tribe.
In the past, they only had the heart, but they basically didn't have the power.
Kane didn't bother to complain about this kind of inexperienced troops and had to divide his troops to garrison a large area.
After his team provided them with steam-powered airships, both Gasda and Makruda had the ability to support the Tusk Fort in their respective jurisdictions. The Fang Castle issued an early warning through magic fireworks.
When Hilma, Mark, and Gadot asked Susha and Tokarn about the Creator, Susa said that the Creator didn't live in Fort Grim.
"Why?" Hilma said, "I heard that you have a good relationship with the creator."
"His Royal Highness Kane believes that his presence here will affect the development of Gashkara. He thinks that this influence should be minimized as much as possible, and it is better for us to discover and solve problems ourselves."
Mark Graveson interjected: "Through observations these days, I also discovered this situation. Apart from providing technical teaching and professional services, those flesh and blood golems will not answer any other questions, and they will never go out related facilities."
Susha said to Hilma: "I need to talk to you alone about the creator."
After that, Hilma learned from Susha what Kane had asked before trading with the Gashkara tribe.
As the secular mentor of the Silver Flame Guardian of the Silver Flame Church (equivalent to a saint, not an Indian saint) Gila Dailan (became a guardian at the age of 11, within the scope of Silver Flame Castle, equivalent to an 18th-level priest), Hill Ma's cultural background is much higher than that of Susha, and she has tasted more from what Ethan said at the beginning.
She said to Susha: "This is indeed a highness. The angle of his question is not an extraordinary perspective, a thorough, higher than the population, and a perspective measured by the length of time of hundreds of thousands of years. It is a pity that your answers at that time did not It didn't satisfy him."
Susha sighed: "We didn't know at the time that His Royal Highness Ryan is an existence of that level."
Hilma said gently: "I'm not complaining, I'm just sorry. The current overall situation is not good at all, and we need strong allies." For this purpose, Hilma and Mark went to meet the creator on this day , Gadot also came, but she was asked to be an observer only, and she was not allowed to make any speeches, because this was a meeting between the Church of the Silver Flame and the creator, and Hilma hoped that the creator could leave a good impression.
About 100 kilometers southwest from Marukda, there is a place called Baishayuan.
It is said that this place is a land purified by feathered snakes, and there are also legends that it is a cursed land. In short, there must be something weird here, otherwise why is it always cloudless and white sand?
Hilma and the others were also fortunate to witness the celestial wonders of Baishayuan. Whether it is white clouds or dark clouds, they are all in the sky, and the top of Baishayuan is always azure blue.
This kind of blue is generally only seen in the depths of the desert, and the beautiful color is moving.
And white sand is also rare, it is not a visual misleading environment background, but really white sand, not pure white, but off-white.
In this white desert, the Green Umbrella Group built a complex of buildings with the characteristics of ancient Egyptian temples.
This is a play of the remaining production capacity after the construction of facilities for the Gashkara tribe. After that, more than 10,000 knitters in the Construction Engineering Corps were pulled out of their cores and sealed up together with the construction equipment to prevent awakening.
The architectural complexes of ancient Egypt are naturally majestic and magnificent. The key is that they are rich in culture and match well with the desert environment. In particular, Ethan specially chose dark gold as the main background color of the entire architectural complex.
This kind of color is combined with a certain amount of old-fashioned treatment, and the senses have a sense of precipitation over time.
Graveson also asked Hilma about this: "Is this... the ruins of the temple?"
Hilma could only know that this place was not ancient through the priest's magic.
Gadot said: "The creation of the creator is full of the precipitation of the years and the beauty of art. Whether it is the buildings here or the fortress built for Gashkara, they all have strong cultural characteristics."
"Well, there must be a civilization behind the creators, and it is likely to be more than one civilization. It is difficult to estimate what changes their arrival will bring to the world."
Graveson frowned: "Didn't you say that you are a believer in the Dao of Light? The half dream spirit has a good relationship with us. Although their way of thinking is a bit weird, they obviously hate people with corrupt morals."
Hilma explained: "Most of the half-dreams are lawful and good, but the Dao of Light is lawful and neutral. This means that the creators may not agree with our values and the universal morality of Kovaire.
Gadot smiled and didn't say much. In her opinion, Graveson's thinking is still too narrow, or most church knights have such characteristics.
Named Karnak by Kane, in fact it is not a faithful reproduction of the Temple of Karnak, there are other gods such as Abu Simbel, Hatshepsut, Namtis, Der Bahli, Philae, etc. Elements of the temple.
It can be said that this Karnak is the condensation of ancient Egyptian civilization in terms of architecture, but there are no pyramids. A real pyramid needs a lot of astronomical data. Kane is not interested in building a pyramid with a superficial appearance.
The entire building complex covers an area of 2 square kilometers and is square in shape. It is built on a stone platform with a height of more than 30 meters, and the circumference of the base is 6 kilometers. All the great events of Egypt till its demise.
Under the entrance steps, Hilma and the others saw Karnak's guards, who were dressed in an ancient Egyptian style, with a bronze-colored body, wearing gold-colored exquisite falcon helmets and jackal helmets.
Falcons and jackals are the two most representative animals of ancient Egyptian culture. Others, cats, crocodiles, vultures, etc. are not as distinctive as the two, and have profound meanings.
Not long after learning about their purpose, the group was taken directly to where Kane was, the Martial Arts Field.
