Chapter 39 Ready
Because not only the Dark God Sister did not come, but there was no news about Ling, so the anxious Dragon King and I ran to the top of Essinger's Spirit Gathering Tower to wait for their arrival. Just when we were about to run out of time, we saw a small purple dot flying over in the distant sky. Plague could tell at a glance that it was crystal, and as we got closer we could see clearly that it was indeed crystal!
We quickly came down from the tower and went to Essinger City to wait for them. The Spirit Gathering Tower is protected by magic and cannot directly enter the top platform without passing through the passage at the bottom of the tower. However, there is no problem when we come out. The one-way magic shield only blocks In and out.
Soon after we arrived below, we saw the swaying Crystal rushing over at high speed and falling to the ground. The huge inertia made her slide far on the ground before she stopped. Ling rolled from Crystal's back to the ground, and his black mage robe had turned into a hole-in-the-wall costume.
I quickly ran over and picked up Ling, while Plague went to take care of the crystal. I quickly summoned Aina to prepare to restore the magic. The Dragon King stopped Aina's actions and instead summoned a subordinate. This huge silver dragon used a few magic to wake up the unconscious Ling, but the crystal next to it did not respond well to healing magic because of its strong magic resistance!
I looked at the weak Ling in my arms and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with you? Your sister won't vent her anger on you because I stole the Dark Star, right?"
Ling Qiang held on and said, "It's not my sister. My sister has agreed to come to the meeting, but she has something to do, so she wants me to come back first and tell you to postpone the meeting for a day."
"Then what did you do?"
Ling took a breath and said: "When we came back, we met the human paladins of the Light God Clan!"
Plague interjected: "A few paladins don't have to be like this, right?"
Ling paused for a moment and then continued: "It wasn't just one or two people, it was a large group, almost more than 3,000 people! We were pulled to the ground by Bulong, and then we were besieged. Thanks to the good effect of my dark magic, we barely escaped! "
The Dragon King seems to have a better understanding of the relationship between humans and the Light God Clan: "Actually, those light priests, light knights, paladins, light mages and the like are all for profit. They are a group of wolves! This group of wolves in the war between the Dragon Clan and the Light God Clan The effect is not small!”
I hugged Ling Quanquan, turned around and said to the Dragon King in a slow and heavy tone: "A wolf is called a wolf because he is hungry. When you feed him, he becomes a dog! Many people say that a wolf is a wolf. In fact, wolves are not greedy animals, humans are.”
"Brilliant!" The Dragon King nodded and said, "I understand what you mean! But do you want me to treat them as wolves or humans?"
"I need you to treat them like wolves first, then like humans."
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
I originally wanted to stop the Dragon King and tell him that this method is very expensive, but I stopped calling after thinking about the way the Silver Dragon Elder promised to give me money. The Dragon Clan is a race with lots of gold, silver and jewelry that can be used to build castles. This The cost is nothing!
Carrying Ling, he walked toward the Spirit Gathering Tower in the center of Essinger. That thing can gather magic power, which is very beneficial to the recovery of mage-type creatures like Ling. "What did you mean just now?" Ling, who was being held by me, actually didn't understand what I said.
"You really don't know?"
"Do you know why I'm asking you? Please tell me quickly!" She actually started to act coquettishly. It seems that the recovery magic just now has a good effect. It is indeed the recovery magic of the dragon family!
"Okay! Let me explain to you! The wolf at the beginning refers to the believers of the Light Gods among humans. The hunger refers to the fact that they feel that they are very unfortunate. These people need happiness, or they feel that happiness is not enough, so they worship The gods hope to be happy. If the Gods of Light give them happiness, they will not feel unlucky, that is to say, they will no longer be hungry. At this time, these people have become dogs of the Gods of Light. Religion is also a transaction, and gods provide blessings. and spiritual comfort, believers must provide the power of faith, it’s that simple.”
"Then what happened to the person you talked about later? What on earth is the Dragon King going to do?"
"It's very simple! Since religious belief is a kind of transaction, it abides by the principles of transaction. As long as the Dragon King can provide more favorable conditions than the Light Gods, then the belief will completely change. The Dragon King wants to bribe believers, of course those saints Knights are also believers, but they enjoy the treatment of members of the Light God Clan. As long as there are more benefits, they will transfer! As for the subsequent paragraph about people, it tells the Dragon King that there is no limit to human desire. He can't keep buying these people, and then just ignore them after using them, and he can't keep these believers with him for a long time."
"I really feel more and more that following you out is the right decision!" Ling started acting coquettishly again!
The Dragon King, who transformed into a human form, caught up from behind. "I've sent people to deal with that group of paladins, what are we going to do now?"
"We'd better leave the city and go outside Isengard."
"What are you doing out there?"
"Because I want to raise the city from the ground!"
"Rise up?" The Dragon King didn't know that Essinger had an underground part.
"The current Essinger is actually just a part, the real Essinger is still buried underground!"
"Is there such a thing?" The Dragon King didn't seem to know much about Essinger. "Then I will take my men and wait outside the city now!"
"Okay!" After sending off the Dragon King, I turned to Ling and said, "Okay, now tell me how to raise Isengard to the ground?"
Ling did not answer me directly but said: "Didn't you say that you would wait for the people from our guild to raise the city in front of them?"
"Can't the plan keep up with the change? Your sister will arrive tomorrow, so we have to raise the city to the ground quickly so that we have something to return to her tomorrow!"
"Okay then! Help me up!"
I simply picked her up. "Tell me where you are and I'll carry you there!"
"Over there!" Ling pointed to the central part of the Spirit-Gathering Tower. I followed her lead and walked over.
We have arrived at the center of the Juling Tower. Above us are the spiraling escalators, and below us is the entire hall, with nothing at all. Ling whispered: "Fly up and look at the ground!"
I followed her words and flew up to look at the ground. I didn't see it until I was seven or eight meters high. The floor of the entire central hall of the Juling Tower is painted with strange patterns. These things seem to be magic circles, and these small magic circles happen to form a huge magic circle. Ling, who I put on the ground, is standing on the big magic circle. The central part of the magic circle. I landed next to her again, and she looked at me and said, "Did you see everything clearly?"
"Yeah! What a big magic circle!"
"Do you know where I'm standing?"
"The center point of the magic circle!"
"It seems you have seen it all! There is a groove in the top corner of the magic circle over there. Go over and put the Dark Star into it!"
I walked in the direction she said, and there was really a small hole as big as an egg. The hall is so big, there is such a small hole on the ground that is not even noticeable from a flat body.
"Have you found it?" Ling asked me standing in the center of the magic circle.
"Found it! Is the Dark Star embedded in it?"
"Yes!"
I took out the Dark Star and approached the cave entrance carefully. I grabbed the Dark Star and just reached the cave entrance. Suddenly there was a flash of black light, and the Dark Star in my hand disappeared. The magic circle under my feet suddenly flashed as if it had a soul, and I could clearly hear the sound of a heartbeat. The lines of the magic circle suddenly started to turn red from the small hole, and the bright red color like blood spread along the lines of the magic circle on the ground to the entire hall. Now you can clearly see the magic circle in the hall without flying to the top of the hall. .
Ling pointed to the opposite side of me and said: "There is a similar hole at the corresponding position over there. You put the Star of Light in it."
"Oh!" I quickly ran over, because the magic circle was flashing red, so I found the hole easily. The Star of Darkness has been put into the hole, and the power of the Star of Light is no longer restrained. As soon as it comes out, the light shines all over me, and there is smoke all over my body. After being illuminated by a strong light, my health began to drop like a stopwatch. I was so frightened that I quickly stuffed the Star of Light into the hole. Fortunately, it was fine as soon as it went in.
As soon as the Star of Light entered the cave entrance, the magic circle started to flash again just like before, but this time a layer of golden light spread in the opposite direction along the magic circle, and soon the entire magic circle was flashing with a mixture of gold and red. of light.
I walked to Ling's side and said, "What should we do next?"
"You have nothing to do next, just leave it to me. When it starts up, the scene will be spectacular. You can set up the panoramic video to record it and show it to your friends!"
"Okay!" I quickly started the panoramic video, and now I was just waiting for Ling to start it. "let's start!"
Ling didn't answer me but closed her eyes directly. Her body suddenly began to glow, and she looked even more charming in the purple light! The weird golden and red brilliance on the entire magic circle suddenly changed color and turned into the lavender color of Ling's body. This faint purple color was also gradually changing, and soon the surrounding light changed from purple to light blue. The blue fluorescence gradually began to spread to the surroundings, slowly climbing up the body of the Juling Tower.
A large number of dragons waiting outside the city returned to the city because they were anxious. Because they did not dare to get too close, they all stood on the top of the city wall to watch the situation of the Spirit Gathering Tower. As they watched, the Juling Tower suddenly began to flash with a faint blue light. The blue fluorescence was divided into two paths, and one path continued to spread upwards along the tower body. Soon the entire tower turned into a shining blue light pillar, while the other path started from the base of the huge Juling Tower. It flowed down and spread to all sides. The dragons didn't know what these blue lights were. For safety reasons, they all rose into the air and watched the blue fluorescent vanguard quickly spread to the entire city.
In almost ten minutes, the blue fluorescence has covered the entire city. Now Essinger has completely turned into a city flashing with blue fluorescence. Although it looks beautiful, in fact It’s quite scary! After the fluorescent light covered the entire city, it began to flash, and the speed was very slow, about once every two seconds. After the flashing lasted for about 10 minutes, the fluorescence on Ling's body gradually dimmed. Ling, who had been standing in the center of the field, suddenly fell down.
This unexpected situation startled me, and I stepped forward to catch Ling who almost fell to the ground. Ling in my arms fell limply there without any strength, and I picked her up in distress. "Ling! Are you okay? How are you? Talk quickly?"
"Master...! I...I can't do it!...Opening the magic circle has exhausted all my strength...I...will...disappear soon!" Ling's voice was very low when he spoke, as if he could do it at any time. It will all disappear.
"No! You can't. You are my magic pet. Even if you die, you will only lose your level!" I was so anxious that tears almost came down my face.
"No! I know my situation! It was the God of Darkness who should have activated this magic circle. I am using my ability beyond my level, so I am lucky to be able to activate it! I will disappear in a while, and I will say goodbye to my master...!"
"No...!" I hugged her hard, hoping to keep her. Although I didn't take Ling's initiative, I actually took advantage of him. Maybe she is just a game NPC, but the world of "Zero" is so real that anyone will have feelings for a girl who has lived and died with them. My mood right now is like a knife being twisted. I swear if I knew that activating this damn magic circle would make me lose Ling forever, I would never activate it. Even if Essinger was only as old as he is now, I would not go there. Let Ling do such a thing! Looking at her standing in the formation, I thought she was just a manipulator!
"Ahem! Be gentle, you're strangling me!" A naughty voice came from my arms, which startled me. I suddenly pushed Ling away from my arms, and what I saw was Ling with a smile on his face. "Master, how are my acting skills? Have you been fooled by me?"
"You...!" I'm so angry that I'm about to vomit blood. You actually joked with me about something like this. Really!
"Okay, don't be angry! Are you kidding me?" Ling could see that I was angry, so he quickly comforted me.
Although I was very angry, I couldn't do anything to her. Just kidding, she is my magic pet. What's the difference between hitting her and hitting me? I took two deep breaths to suppress the air. "How's the magic circle going? How long will it take to raise the city?"
"My work has been completed. Now I have to wait for the magic circle to run on its own for a while. The city facilities have not been touched for too long, so I need to have a good time!"
"How long will it take to be active?"
"Three to five minutes will be enough! By the way, where is your sword?"
I took out the Holy Dragon's Fang and handed it to her: "What do you want my sword for?"
Ling did not take the sword I handed over but pointed to the place where she had just stood. "Insert the sword into the place where I just stood!"
"Do you still need my sword to run this city?" I asked while 'inserting'?
Ling explained: "It's not your sword, it's the chaos crystal on your sword! Doesn't that thing combine the power of light and darkness? This magic circle just needs two kinds of power to operate!"
"Okay!" I have inserted the sword into the center of the magic circle on the ground. "What's next?"
"The next step is that we'd better wait and see what happens!"
"Ah? What do you mean?" I didn't understand what was going on, but Ling didn't seem to want to explain, so he pulled me and ran outside.
Seeing us coming out, the Dragon King also flew over. Although we have been struggling inside for so long, they are still flying in the air waiting for us. Dragons have very strong flying abilities, and staying in the air for long periods of time is no problem for them. The Dragon King directly asked the two of us to wait on top of him. After all, we didn’t know how long it would take for the city to rise. We have done what we should do, now it’s up to the city itself!
After waiting for nearly half an hour outside the city, we didn't see any changes except that the blue flash turned green at some point. The original blue fluorescence has been slowly changing color. Unknowingly, it has turned completely green! I was really bored and started to look for something to talk about. "Your Majesty the Dragon King, I seem to have heard that you were killed by the dragon-slaying mage, but I see you here fine today. What's going on?"
The Dragon King said nonchalantly: "Actually, it was my brother who died that time. I was seriously injured and unconscious at the time, and I didn't know that my brother had died. Other dragons found my brother's body, and they thought it was mine. Originally, our brothers looked alike, and my brother was too badly injured at the time to be identified. They just roughly guessed that it was me from the color of the body. But when I returned, they had already announced my death. Later, the elder said that it had been buried anyway, so he asked me to hide it, so that others would not know that our Dragon Clan still has a strong hand like me hidden in it, and it would be much easier to deal with emergencies."
"That's it!" This is the reason why I did it for a long time!
Just as he was talking, Ling suddenly shouted: "I feel a fluctuation, the city's operating mechanism has started!"
The whole city suddenly rang out with the sound of the whistle of a giant sea ship, and the sound of huge metal twisting and thunder and lightning appeared at the same time. Electricity suddenly began to discharge outside the Juling Tower in the center of the city. Electric snakes swam on the surface of the Juling Tower, and the surrounding air became tense. A series of situations began to occur on the sea surface of the port outside Essinger. Huge waves rushed onto the pier of the port irregularly. For a moment, the surroundings seemed like the end of the world, and the atmosphere became weird!
The loud noise around them began to gradually decrease, and was replaced by the high-pitched roar of the powerful airflow blowing through the Juling Tower. Abnormalities also began to appear in the sky. The originally cloudy sky became even darker. It seemed that heavy rain and lightning would happen at any time.
"Be careful!" I don't know which dragon shouted, and the Dragon King led us to dodge the UFO. Thanks to the reminder just now, the flying rock did not hit us but was dodged and flew directly into the inner city! We quickly turned around, only to see the ground begin to shake violently, and a large number of rocks suddenly began to stand up on the land outside the city. The ground seemed to be deforming. The original land was attacked by huge forces. The soil and rock formations began to deform due to the huge pressure on the ground.
"What happened?" The current situation makes me very uneasy. I don't know what these doomsday-like scenes are about!
"Don't worry, this is a normal phenomenon. There will be more powerful ones in a while. You will know after a while." Ling said to the Dragon King below: "We'd better prepare the defensive array. It looks like there will be a large number of them in a while." Debris is flying everywhere!"
The Dragon King quickly propped up the magic shield. Almost as soon as the shield was completed, a rock as big as a three-story building flew up. Although the shield successfully blocked the direct attack, the thing was still hundreds of meters long. It weighs tons, and the huge inertia still carried Dragon King and I flying out for a while. The Dragon King, who finally managed to stabilize his body, ordered: "Let's all rise and see again at a distance of one thousand meters. This distance is too dangerous!"
As soon as we followed the Dragon King to a higher place, we were suddenly stunned. Essinger below had a huge reaction again, and the sound of twisted metal appeared again. Now he was competing with the wind to see who was louder! All of our eyes were focused on the Spirit Gathering Tower in the center of the city. I vaguely felt that this thing had a great relationship with the city. The current state of the Spirit Gathering Tower is even more so that we don't even dare to blink our eyes. It is actually slowly gathering electricity! The clouds in the sky are still emitting lightning. The Juling Tower guides all the lightning to itself. The blue electric snakes on the surface of the tower are swimming around. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the final limit is broken. !
