Starting From Zero

Chapter 25 Work Begins

Phantom usually handles the things behind the scenes for me, and this time is no exception. The phantom manipulated my body and turned around with a sword to force the weapon back. After turning around, I realized that the one who attacked me was the senior brother I met when I saw Zhenhong and Yingquan last time. "It turns out to be Senior Brother!"

"Who is your senior brother? Zhenhong, where have you and Yingquan gone these days? I can't even contact you in private messages."

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother, we are so busy these days that we don't have time to read private messages. By the way, is Master here?"

"Master is inside."

"We have something to do with Master. We'll talk about it when we come out later." After saying that, Zhenhong pulled me towards the back of the hall.

As soon as Zhenhong and I stepped into the back hall, we met Polaris-kun's eyes. He smiled slightly when he saw Zhenhong, but when he noticed me, he suddenly jumped up and turned around and wanted to run. He took two steps and turned around again. Come back. "It's you!" He smiled awkwardly. This old man was already frightened by me, and when he saw me, he instinctively wanted to run away.

"Don't be afraid, Mr. Xing! I'm here to inquire about something from you today."

"What's the matter?" Mr. Polar Star relaxed a little when he heard that I was just here to inquire about news.

Zhenhong had listened to my explanation when she came, and now she helped me and said, "Master, have you ever heard of the name Biling?"

North Star Lord touched his beard and thought for a moment: "My land of China is a place where spiritual energy gathers. Many mythical beasts appeared in ancient times, one of which is called Biling."

Hearing Mr. Bei Xing say this means that Mr. Bei Xing knows about Biling. I quickly said, "Then do you know that Biling has four apprentices?"

"No matter how you say it, I am an immortal. I don't even know what kind of immortal the four holy beasts are."

"Haha! That's good." Now that you know it, it's easier to handle. "Do you know where the Four Sacred Beasts are now? We hope to see the Four Sacred Beasts. It would be best if you could introduce them to us."

Mr. Polaris shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't help, but my identity..."

"What's wrong with your identity? Aren't you a god?" Zhenhong asked strangely.

"Immortals are also divided into three, six or nine levels. Although I am different from the middle and lower level immortals such as earth immortals and loose immortals, I am not high enough to meet the four holy beasts."

"Are the status of the four holy beasts so high?"

"The heaven is about checks and balances. The four holy beasts guard the four directions and need to be strong enough to contain the overall situation. Do you think their status can be low? According to the original distribution, any one of the four saints has the ability to influence the entire heaven. If the four If the holy beasts unite, they can change destiny and reverse time and space."

"Reverse time and space?"

North Star Lord picked up his whisk and said: "I don't know the specific situation because I have never seen them use it. Anyway, the four holy beasts can reverse time and make everything return to the time when it didn't happen. "

Zhenhong said in surprise: "Isn't that the same as going back?"

When Zhenhong said this, I also understood that the so-called reverse time and space of the Four Sacred Beasts means that you can reload the game and record the game back to a certain time before. Isn't this more awesome than GM? At most, the GM can only correct some minor problems. The reversion of the entire game is not something that one or two GMs can decide.

I quickly said: "Since you can't see the four holy beasts, is there any way for us to meet the gods who can see the four holy beasts?"

"In fact, no gods can see the four holy beasts, because they don't live in the heaven, and the four holy beasts don't like to come into contact with others."

"Then tell us where they live, and we'll look for them ourselves." Mr. Polar Star couldn't help but had to look for them himself.

"The four holy beasts do not live together. Because they have to guard the four directions, they live in the four corners of the land of China." Mr. Polar Star conjured up a booklet for me. "This is the orientation map, you can refer to it."

I opened the map, looked at it for a long time and then gave it back to Mr. Polaris. "Sorry, I really can't understand this!"

"Oh! I forgot that you don't understand this!" Mr. Polar Star opened the booklet himself and said: "I will tell you and you can write it down yourself. The first is Qinglong, who is responsible for guarding the East. His residence is on an island outside the East China Sea. , there is a Qinglong Tower on the island, and Qinglong lives in it. Xuanwu lives in Xueyu Mountain in the north, and there is a Black Turtle Cave on the mountain, which is Xuanwu's residence. White Tiger lives in the White Tiger Forest of Aotian Mountain in the west. Suzaku lives in the south. Huoyun Mountain's Chao Cave. If you really want to go, I suggest you be careful. There are thunder clouds outside the Qinglong Pagoda, gods can be enshrined at the entrance of the Xuanwu Cave, there are strange winds outside the White Tiger Forest, and gold can be melted at the entrance of the Suzaku Cave. These are It can kill people.”

"We know that we will be careful. Thank you for your help this time." I was about to leave, but suddenly I remembered that the development of Isengard also requires some external forces, and it is also a good thing to revitalize the national god religion. "I wonder if Mr. Polar Star would be willing to open a temple and recruit some disciples? This would be good for the expansion of Taoism, right?"

"I do! But Taoism has always practiced the rules of escaping from the world. Later, it was discovered that it was too late to recruit disciples after the invasion of the Western Gods. Most of the cities now are under the control of the Temple of Light. We Taoist priests are not active in preaching and want to expand. We have no ability. Fortunately, we are a local force after all, and it is too early for the Temple of Light to deal with us. By the way, I heard that the tragic defeat of the Temple of Light some time ago was caused by you, is it true?"

"Strictly speaking, the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness are fighting to the death. I am just a middleman responsible for instigating a fight between them, and taking some profit from them. Regarding the promotion of Taoism, this is what I think. I have a guild of my own, And there are two cities that have been completed, and another one is under planning. You can go to the city of our guild to build temples, and I will help you promote it, which is regarded as supporting domestic products." After thinking about it, I added: "Actually, I I also know a system vulnerability. Although it’s not a big problem, it can be exploited.”

Before Mr. Polaris could say anything, Zhenhong said, "Why don't I know?"

"I never said that, of course you don't know. This loophole is about the characteristic occupations of various countries. I found that as long as you join a guild of a certain country, you can learn the characteristic occupations of this country. For example, our guild Both Japanese and German players in the game can switch to Taoist and Martial Arts professions. Originally, these two professions were only open to Chinese players, but now they can be learned by foreigners. Don’t you think this is a good loophole? And since the completion of Tianyu City , I discovered that our guild has a dual-nationality attribute. I actually found the job transfer option for the German characteristic profession Teutonic Warrior in the professional office of our guild. Later, I asked the people in charge NPC, they said that Chinese players in our guild can also change their profession to Teutonic warriors. Based on this, I judge that as long as there is a city of the guild in another country, the guild can learn the characteristics of that country. Profession."

Zhenhong said: "Does that mean that if we occupy a Japanese city, all the assassins in the guild can change their profession to ninjas?"

"That's basically it." I said half-jokingly: "If you capture a city in Egypt, you might be able to change your job to become a mummy!"

"Ugh! It's so disgusting!" Zhenhong said with a smile.

I returned to the topic and said: "Xingjun, have you decided? Not only can we open a Taoist temple in China, but we can also build the Sanqing Temple in foreign countries. Anyway, modern people like to hunt for novelties. Chinese people like foreign knights, and foreigners like China." Taoist priest, we are just in line with the trend." Seeing that Mr. Xing was a little tempted, I quickly continued to seduce: "Think about it, if there were Taoist temples abroad, you would be the Pope. How lofty is this status? ?”

The so-called four elements are empty and the six roots are pure. This is a theory that is only emphasized in Buddhism developed in India. Chinese Taoism is not actually devoid of desires. On the contrary, Taoist priests pursue the profession of immortality, so Lord Polaris also has strong desires. Being incited by me, the old guy couldn't stand it anymore. "Okay, you go back first, I will find you in a few days."

"Then if I'm not here after you come, you can find Vida or Vina. Vida is the city's defense chief, and Vina is the main god of our temple there."

"You have a main god and I won't have any dispute with her if I build a temple, right?"

"It's okay, I will go and say hello first. Our guild should take the path of multi-faith, so as to expand its influence."

After briefly discussing the relevant matters with Mr. Polaris, I took Zhenhong and left the Qilin Fairy Mountain. The residences of the four holy beasts were more remote than the other, and it was not something that could be dealt with in a short time to deal with Bi Ling's skeleton. Things must be done one by one, and it is not enough to make a fat man in one bite.

It's very late now, so I asked Zhen Hong to rest, while I went to look for Wei Na in the Temple of Order. Many NPCs in the Temple of Chaos and Order are busy coming in and out. The temple has just been built not long ago, and some equipment is not fully in place, so it is still a bit chaotic. After asking the guard, he found out that Vina was in her room, so he went directly to Vina's bedroom on the top floor to find her.

When I opened the door, I saw Vina leaning on a chair and reading a book. When she saw me coming in, she immediately put down her book and jumped up. "Why are you here?" Wei Na was surprised when she saw me. "Vida just told me that you went to Europe?"

"With the teleportation array now, wouldn't it only take a few minutes to get to Europe?"

"Do you have something to do with me?" She looked slightly angry when I nodded. "I know you will never come to me if you have nothing to do."

"I am also a captain. I have more than 10,000 players in two cities. Of course I don't have time in normal times. I am looking for you today to confirm the city. Other temples have territorial cities, and we can't be limited to Isengard. ?”

When Vina heard me talk about the city's problems, she immediately took on a "sexual" nature. "It's the city you applied to with me that day. I've prepared the necessary procedures for you."

I lay down on Vina's big plush armchair, took a piece of fruit from the plate next to me and started to nibble on it. "We lack steel resources and I plan to build our steel base there. So I want to name the city Steel City."

"Of course it's up to you, but how do you plan to build the city? It's not easy to repair things like city walls!"

"I have no intention of building a city wall at all. Anyway, the Sand Forest is completely surrounded by steel. We only need to seal the entrance, and then clear the monsters in the city. Even if there are monsters attacking the city, they will attack from outside the iron shell. I have calculated , based on the thickness of the steel, even if we don't resist at all, they won't be able to dig through the hole in the three-day siege. So there is no need to build a city wall at all, just seal the hole and make a few narrow ventilation holes."

"There is no need for the vents. Just make a few air elemental formations. I have already prepared the guards of the temple. When you need to build a city, they can immediately go with you to clean up the monsters."

"That's great. I'll take them out in a minute. Also, I plan to introduce Taoism as a second religion. A Chinese god will come to us in a while. If I'm not here, you'll be responsible for hosting him."

"I see."

After saying goodbye to Vina, I took the temple troops to the teleportation point to wait and called Woma to lead the team. I teleported to Luji City first. There weren't many people here to begin with, but now that it's late at night, there are even fewer people. After confirming that there were not many players, I decided to inform Woma that I could come over. I was mainly afraid that too many people would scare the players here.

Let Woma lead the team to walk slowly behind, and I went to the front to find the way alone. The last time I came out, I dug a hole. I was afraid that a lot of sand would flow in, so I covered the hole with an unnecessary shield. got up. That place must have been buried by the wind and sand now. I have to come over and look for it in advance. Woma is the technical supervisor and wanted to come over to check on the mineral conditions, so I asked her to lead the team and look for the cave entrance myself.

Soon I arrived at the approximate location, and I moved carefully little by little according to the coordinates displayed on the map. I quickly found the location of the cave entrance, and while I was digging, I suddenly felt someone behind me. When I turned around, what I saw was a beautiful woman wearing scantily clad clothes standing behind me. I was about to open my mouth when I suddenly felt something was wrong. My eyes were focused below her waist, don't get me wrong, I was focused on her legs. This creature is not human, and it is certainly not a player. Her two legs are actually connected together. Although the shape of the two legs can be seen in the middle, they are actually connected together. Moreover, the skin of the two legs is wrinkled and resembles old tree bark, which is consistent with the brilliance of her upper body. The skin is completely different. What's even weirder is that her feet are buried in the sand. Players shouldn't be so surprised. This must be a monster.

Before I could draw my weapon, the creature struck first. Her attack method was a bit special. Several vine-like things suddenly sprang out from under my feet and tried to wrap around my feet. I would not let her succeed. I took out the eternity and slashed it on the ground in front of me. The two vines that had just touched my feet were immediately cut off.

She didn't seem to feel any pain, and she didn't react at all to the two broken tentacles. Instead, she started singing. The singing was very strange, neither pleasant nor unpleasant, but I knew it was some kind of attack, and the effect was probably similar to Bingbing's flute. At this time, Xingtong's display also came out. The target is a tree demon, which is an enlightened tree demon. He no longer belongs to the class of fairies but immortals. While the battle data was displayed, I also saw the attack report, and the system prompted that I was attacked by the player Flower Buryer.

This Shusi must be the Flower Burial Man's demon pet or something. This Flower Burial Man is too annoying. Even if I didn't hire him, there would be no need to retaliate against me like this! "Clone!" I quickly summoned the clone.

The mage's clone appeared as a pillar of flame. Even if Shusi was an evolved tree demon, she was still a tree. As long as it is a tree, it is afraid of fire, so using the flame pillar to deal with her is perfect. Sure enough, this guy was on fire. After a while, Shuji was completely on fire, but this didn't seem to affect her actions.

There was a stir in the sand next to them, and seven people jumped up from the sand at the same time, including the flower buryer. The player standing on the edge threw a water ball at Shusi to extinguish the fire, while the flower buryer took out a long whip. I saw him swinging his whip. I wanted to dodge, but found that the person she was whipping was not me but that Shusi.

I stood aside stupidly. "Even if you can't beat me, you don't have to torture your demon pet to vent your anger, right?"

The flower buryer ignored me and continued to whip Shusi. The beautiful Shusi's face showed an expression of extreme pain. Just when I was about to stop him, Shusi suddenly let out a roar. A white shock wave of similar substance spread out at an extremely slow speed. I quickly retreated and deployed a mercury shield. Unfortunately, this shock wave passed through the mercury shield without any hindrance, so I quickly retreated with my clone. "Jingjing help."

Angel Jingjing, who was already about the size of a fifteen or sixteen year old girl, suddenly appeared in front of me, holding her shield in front of me. "Sacred Shield Defense!"

The shock wave disappeared immediately after hitting the holy shield. Jingjing's defense was indeed effective. But Shusi over there didn't stop. After screaming, she began to struggle. She heard a click as if something had broken, followed by the sound of something being torn apart. A crack suddenly appeared between Shusi's two legs, and the rough old tree bark tore open from the middle. A smooth, white, slender and beautiful leg stepped out of the bark, followed by another leg. Wow, it’s actually activated!

The flower buryer pointed at me: "Attack."

Shusi, who had escaped from the root of the tree, suddenly rushed towards me. I didn't expect that Shusi, who was unable to move just now, suddenly moved so fast and was in front of me in the blink of an eye. She raised her right hand and pressed her fingers together. The sharp fingertips were like daggers. She inserted it with her dagger-like palm, and Jingjing quickly appeared in front of me and stretched out her shield.

when! "Oops!" Jingjing rolled and fell out. Although the shield defense is high, Jingjing's level is too low and her strength is insufficient to withstand such a powerful physical attack. But she bought me time.

I swung my sword as if to cut, Shusi quickly raised his hand to block, but my sword did not fall. Instead, I raised my leg and kicked her out. Although Shusi looks like a beautiful woman now, her weight is much higher than that of a human being. My kick only made her fly a few meters. She immediately rushed forward, and at the same time, the players behind her also surrounded her.

Without hesitation, he slashed with his sword again, this time for real. The sharp eternity cut it in two without any hindrance, and Shusi's body fell down and burned. The seven men behind were about to attack, but I put the weapon back into its scabbard.

"Are you contemptuous of us? Take out your weapons." A player next to Flower Burial Man said angrily.

I didn't take the weapon, but even took back the clone and Jingjing. "I suggest you look back."

"Look back? Do you want to run away?" The guy didn't believe me.

"There are seven of you, won't there be others when you turn around?"

When I said this, the guy turned his head nervously, but when he turned around, he was stunned. The other people also turned around and were all dumbfounded. The one who reacted quickly bowed and said: "Brother, I won't disturb your military parade!" After saying that, he grabbed the person next to him and ran away.

What they saw when they looked back just now was nothing else but the tens of thousands of angels led by Woma. The seven people were of course dumbfounded when they saw the endless troops. After they reacted, they ran faster than rabbits. Today we are just here to establish an advance base, and we have not brought out all the troops from the temple, otherwise we could scare people to death.

I didn't bother to chase them, so I directly asked Woma to lead someone to expand the hole and then go down. I actually took the temple troops instead of the city defense troops for consideration. The entrance to the Sand Forest is directly above the cave. It takes several hundred meters to reach the ground through the entrance of the cave. The city guards are all army soldiers, and none of them can fly. They can stand so high without falling apart, so the ones I bring are all angels. After all, they can fly!

In addition to Woma, there were many German girls who came with me, and Xiaoyao Daodao, a master architect, was also indispensable. In fact, the main purpose of coming today is to build a teleportation array and establish the city's landmarks, so that the nearby area can officially be regarded as an urban area. Otherwise, how can we clean the monsters if they keep refreshing after cleaning them?

The place we landed after entering was the Altar of Death, which is the geometric center of the entire cave. After establishing the surface here, I opened the space door and asked Fenglong to release all the demon pets. Let the demon pet and Lai Budu go together to clear out the monsters, the German mm will do geological survey, and I will help Xiaoyao Daodao start clearing the area for building the teleportation array.
