Chapter 672 The Secret of the Lost Land
The encounter in the High Forest is enough to teach other cities a perfect lesson. It is obvious that after the massacre of the tree people and the arson of the High Forest, the other lords should be able to understand that the Inquisition is not someone to be trifled with. object. But for Duanmu Huai, there is no need to care about the thoughts of those lords for the time being. The problem is...
"Mr. Knight, can you build a territory?"
"Yo ho?"
Hearing An's inquiry, Duanmuhuai couldn't help it.
"What? Looking down on me?"
"………………"
Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, An and Gu Leiya looked at each other and then nodded.
"Well, we're worried."
"What's so difficult about building a territory?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai curled his lips and chuckled.
"Of course it's difficult. First of all, talent is a problem."
As he spoke, An stretched out his finger.
"Public security, construction, maintenance, tax collection, security, public facilities, finance... To be honest, Mr. Knight, even if you include the people in the Tribunal, I'm afraid it won't be enough. After all, this is not the maintenance of a battleship. You have to manage the territory, listen to the opinions of the people, and then make decisions, and even formulate taxes and laws... Based on my impression of Mr. Knight, I'm afraid you can't do it. "
As the princess of Manalia, An often reviews official documents on weekdays. No one knows better than her how to build a territory or even a country. In her opinion, the combat effectiveness in the Tribunal is first-class, but in terms of internal affairs, it is almost a mess. Unfortunately, most of Duan Muhuai's men are either night guards, puppets, or else they are just like him in the internal affairs department. , has long been completely paralyzed.
But if you want to run a territory in this world now, you can't send all the dolls there, right? Isn't that a weird story?
"Then you come?"
"Am I alone? Are you going to tire me out? I won't do it!"
An Dun was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly ran behind Gu Leiya. Just kidding, even if she is a princess, she can't do so much work. Is Duanmu Huai really trying to kill her?
"hehe……………"
Staring at An, Duanmuhuai smiled coldly.
"In the final analysis, it's all about talent. Isn't it hard to find people?"
"Talents are the hardest to find, okay? Do you want Audrey to come? But Audrey is working as an adjutant for Miss Acault right now. She can't hold multiple positions."
Strictly speaking, An was right. To govern a territory, talent was the most difficult thing to find. Duanmuhuai's trial court is basically a bandit group. You can see which bandit group will have some financial and internal affairs departments. But a formal qualified territory definitely cannot do this.
"Indeed, you are right. It is difficult to find talents in other places, but it is different here."
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he pointed at his feet.
"Guess, why is this place called the Lost Land?"
"???"
Seeing the confused expressions of An and Gu Liya, Duanmuhuai chuckled. If it were anywhere else, then as An said, talent would be very hard to find. But the Lost Land is different. The reason is very simple, that is, there is a fragment of the soul world in the Lost Land.
This world is very famous among Soul Walker players, and the story in the world itself is not too complicated. To put it simply, a country called Luminas is at war with the devil army. The fight between the two sides is very fierce, but Later, the devil's trick caused Luminas to fall out with his ally Levion, and the two sides fought a battle. The devil's army took advantage of the situation and wiped out both parties. Alleria was also defeated and disappeared.
Later, when Alleria returned to the battlefield, she had been corrupted and turned into the dark swordsman Melissa.
The final result is that everything is completely destroyed, GAME OVER ends with total destruction, and the country is also destroyed, so this is called the Lost Land - but after so many years, no one probably remembers what happened.
Hmm... But Knight Ji's degeneration and darkening are simply a theme that players love to see, isn't it?
Of course, in addition to this, the reason why this world is known to players is because there is a famous soul card [Legendary Sword] in this world. If the player obtains [Legendary Sword] in this world, and obtains [Legendary Sword] If the player has the title "Blade Commander", then as long as the player summons the "Legendary Sword" during battle, he will obtain the ability of "As long as there is a 'Legendary Sword' on his battlefield, he will launch an assault and convert the damage received to 0" Special effect.
This damn thing is almost as good as being invincible, right?
It's a pity that there is only one legendary sword, and there is only one title of [Legendary Blade Commander]. It's not like Duanmu Huai has never fought with that person - to be honest, it's really difficult.
Of course, players later discovered that this girl was not really invincible. Although it is not affected by other abilities, [except for the ability to change attack power/health].
In other words, as long as you don't attack directly, but change its health and attack power through some special effects, you can also kill it.
But no matter what, this thing is really strong! At least until the rules are figured out, direct attacks, whether magical or physical, will be ineffective. It will simply be a blast!
Think about it, if you summon this thing on the battlefield and carry it on your back, it is basically equivalent to locking the blood and being invincible!
By the way, most players in the game choose to stand on the side of Luminas. The reason is very simple. There are many girls in Luminas!
The knight is a woman, the healer is a woman, the wizard is a woman, the spearman is a woman, and the princess is a woman————Well, the last one seems to be nonsense.
On the other hand, the Knights of Lei Xun in Levion are all men, and there are several handsome men. Therefore, either the female players are crazy about them or have abnormal fetishes. Otherwise, who would go to Levion!
And there are many capable officials in this world. As long as you deal with the troubles of this world and harvest soul cards, then you don’t have to worry about no one using your own territory?
"So, I'll be back soon. Before that, I'll trouble you to take care of it."
"Hey? Wait, are you really going to throw it to us? Construction and stuff..."
"Don't worry about those boring things. Anyway, those guys can't come to us in a short time. If someone contacts us, just say that the Tribunal is currently undergoing internal construction and is temporarily closed!"
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stood up and snapped his fingers. Then Ogis and Jia Wei also came over from the left and right. They climbed onto Duanmu Huai's shoulders on both sides with ease, just like automatic navigation.
"Then, please."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai waved his hand, and then left the hall in front of everyone's stunned gaze.
"Uh...what should I do now?"
While stroking the little white rabbit in her arms, Mary looked at An and Gu Leya, who sighed helplessly.
"What else can I do? Since Mr. Knight has handed it over to me, it seems that I am the only one now..."
At this point, An suddenly turned his eyes and stared at Mary.
"Miss Mary, will you help me too?"
"Hey? Me? I can't!"
Hearing An's words, Mary was immediately shocked and waved her hands vigorously.
"I don't have the talent in this area, nor do I have this kind of knowledge...!"
Although Mary studied at the Royal Master's College, she majored in literature, language and archaeology. She knew nothing about politics. An and Gu Leiya were both princesses, and they would definitely understand even if they were forced, but Mary was a complete novice!
"It doesn't matter, you can learn slowly if you don't know... "
Looking at Mary's panic, An smiled and grabbed her hand.
"Will you help, Miss Mary?"
"This... okay."
After all, Mary was still a middle-class citizen in her bones. She didn't have the courage to refuse the princess's request, so she could only nod helplessly.
Now she only hoped that Mr. Duanmu could come back soon.
Although Mary prayed like this, it was a pity...her wish did not come true.
"It doesn't seem to be here..."
Looking at the wilderness in front of him, Duanmu Huai scratched his head helplessly. It had been two days since he left the warship. He ran around in the Lost Land, trying to find an entrance to the soul world, but he didn't get anything.
Did he blow up the Lost Land and ended up blowing up the gate?
I can't be so unlucky!
"I say, how long will we have to look for it?"
Jia Wei followed beside him, complaining unsatisfied, while Ogis silently flipped through the book - she was used to killing time.
"It's been two days, why haven't you found the 'door' yet, master?"
"It's almost there, it should be nearby..."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai rubbed the ring, and soon, a translucent ghost girl emerged from it.
"Is there any movement nearby?"
"Over there."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the ghost girl closed her eyes and sensed it, then pointed to a pile of boulders not far away. Duanmu Huai also followed the ghost girl's instructions and walked towards the direction of the boulders. Then he went up and down, turned left and right.
"Is it here?"
"Yes."
"Okay then."
Duanmu Huai exhaled and opened his eyes.
"Soul resonance!"
The next moment, accompanied by Duanmu Huai's roar, the air in front of him, which was originally empty, began to surge, and then a... No. appeared.
Half of the portal.
The other half is underground.
"……………………"
Looking at the portal in front of him, Duanmu Huai was completely speechless.
"Puff!"
Seeing this scene, Jia Wei couldn't help laughing.
"Master, how are you going to get in?"
"Do you even need to ask?"
Faced with Jia Wei's question, Duanmu Huai glared at her fiercely.
"Of course I crawled in!"
