Chapter 55 Visitors

"Isn't it just a compass? I'll just pay you!" The other party obviously didn't understand the difference between a needle and a compass.

"Compass?" I took out two pointer parts from inside. "Does your compass have that many needles?"

"Oh! It turns out to be a watch!"

It seems like these guys are trying to default on their debt. "Let me tell you, this is a needle. Its function is to point to your destination, not to guide north. Even if I want to use it to find a moving ship on the sea, there will be no error."

"Haha! Are you kidding me?" The leader of the opponent actually laughed: "How can there be such powerful equipment, and the artifact is almost the same."

"This is a divine weapon!"

"You said that artifacts are artifacts. Then if you say that these are gold under our feet, do I still believe it?"

"It seems you haven't figured out the situation yet!" I moved my finger, and a huge vine suddenly appeared under the ground and rolled the guy into the air. The vines tightly strangled his body and brought him to me. "We are not on the same level now. I am not negotiating a sale with you. I am the only one making the offer, not your counter-offer. Do you understand?"

After this guy was rolled up, the people around him all pulled out a wavy knife from under their wrists and tried to rush over, but more vines emerged from the ground, and all of these people were swept into the sky one by one. One particularly powerful one actually dodged the vines, but as soon as he jumped out, the pioneer jumped out from the side, swallowed him up and disappeared into the sand.

"Do you understand the situation now?"

Those people nodded quickly. "Then how do you want us to compensate you? I can't compensate you for too much!"

"Compensation needs to be considered in the long term. Before that, I have some questions that need to be answered. First of all, you have to tell me which country this is."

"This is Sudan."

"Huh? What?"

"I said this is Sudan."

"Sultan?" It seems that my position is quite different from expected! Sudan, Libya and Egypt are all connected by moisture, but the location between the three happens to be desert, so this becomes a natural barrier that ordinary people cannot get through.

"Is there something wrong with Sultan?" The man was very nervous because of me. Because as long as the rose vines are pressed a little harder, they will become as flat as a toothpaste peel.

"It's not Sudan's problem." I looked around and asked, "How far is it from the border?"

"This is the border." One of the men pointed to the large lake behind me. "It was originally a sunken sand valley, and there was a spring in the center of the valley that never dried up. That spring was the intersection of the three kingdoms."

"So you can't go far over there and you'll reach Egypt, right?"

"Yes. If you want to leave, just go through here. You can definitely enter Egypt quickly."

This guy used honorifics with a smile on his face and recommended me to go in that direction. It was obvious that he didn't have three hundred taels of silver here. If I had been deceived so easily, I would no longer be Ziri. I snapped my fingers, and the rose vine suddenly tightened, and the guy who was strangling him changed his tone of voice.

"Do you really want me to walk through here?"

"No, no!" The guy shook his head quickly, then thought about it and started nodding again as if something was wrong. "I hope you can get through here without incident. That way we don't have to pay for your baby."

This guy reacted very quickly, but unfortunately he was already exposed, and no matter how hard he tried to cover it up, it only became darker and darker. "Stop pretending. Tell me what's ahead?"

"nothing."

"Nothing? Would you be so nervous if it was really nothing?"

"It's really nothing!"

I stretched out one hand and made a hollow fist gesture, and then slowly tightened it. The rose vine followed my rhythm and began to tighten the vine little by little. "What on earth is there?"

"Really...ah...no...no...nothing! Wow! Please forgive me...the bones are about to be broken!"

I was asking this guy when suddenly a hand was placed on my shoulder from behind. I have always trusted my magic pets. Phantom and Rose Vine are both magic pets that are good at warning. In this case, there was actually someone who could put a hand on my shoulder. Moreover, these two demon pets did not issue any warning at all. Such fright made me suddenly tighten my hands completely. As a result, the rose vine thought I was going to kill this guy. The vine tightened instantly, and the guy exploded like a balloon, and a pile of broken meat fell all over the floor. . I have no time to care about this guy. He jumped out like lightning and completed a turn in the air.

faint! What I saw when I turned around was an eagle. Because my reaction was too violent, he also froze on the spot, but his eyes were focused on the unlucky guy who was dismembered. I asked Rose Vine why they didn't sound the alarm. It's not like they didn't notice anyone approaching. But because it was an eagle, they didn't think it was an enemy and didn't notify me. But I didn’t know that the person behind me was an eagle. Of course I wouldn’t think that the person behind me was one of my own in a place like this, so I got nervous and crushed the unlucky guy!

"Why are you here?"

Eagle was still there stunned, and only reacted after hearing my question. "I went online and found that your space was open and parked in Steel City, so I knew you had come out. Later, when I arrived at Essinger, they said you went to blow up the gourd. Hongyue said that your flying mounts are temporarily unavailable, so let I’ll come and take you back.”

"Girls should be careful! If you don't come, I really don't know how to get back!"

"That...!" Ying pointed at a few guys who were still hanging. "What's going on?"

"These guys? A bunch of idiots. They come out with a few guns and imitate robbery. Look." I handed over the needle. "They broke it!"

"Isn't it? This thing is very important!"

"Of course I know it's important, but what do you want me to do now that this has happened?"

"Is this them attacking the ground?" Eagle pointed at those people.

"kindness."

"Then let them compensate."

"Look at the saddles of their mounts over there." I pointed to the special camels over there.

The eagle ran over to take a look and came back with a straight face. I had seen what was written on the saddle, otherwise I wouldn’t have kept asking for a way out without talking about compensation. The mark on the saddle indicated that the mount and the saddle were on loan. The system rental point can rent some equipment or mounts to players, and these rental items have this mark. These guys are so poor that they can't even afford a universal mount, let alone expect them to have the money to pay for artifacts! I have no choice but to be angry. They are so poor. Even if I chop them into pieces and sell them as meat, they still can’t afford my artifact!

"Since we can't get compensation, why are we holding them? Kill them and let's leave immediately."

"I didn't know how to leave originally, so I was asking. But now that you're here, it's convenient. Where is your spear? Shall we go back?" Eagle pointed upward. When I looked up, I saw something breathing flames circling above our heads. "Another missile?"

"This thing is faster!"

"Okay!" Really! They actually used missiles to pick me up. I'm afraid I'm the only one in the world who has traveled by missile. I looked at the remaining people over there. "Rose Vine."

Rosevine knows what I mean. With a sudden force, all these people were crushed. After putting away my magic pet, I spread my wings and pulled the eagle to fly up. The missile was manipulated by the people on Essinger's side and passed below us. The two of us jumped up together and hugged the outer shell of the magic missile tightly. After we grabbed hold, the eagle made an OK gesture to the sky, and the missile suddenly accelerated and flew back in the direction of Isinger. From now on, if we have any emergencies, we might as well just use missiles to launch them!

The missiles were launched very quickly, and we entered China in forty minutes. The feeling on the missile is really bad. Eagle and I simply jumped down and used the teleportation array to return to Essinger, while the missile turned and flew towards Japan. Anyway, once the missile is launched, it cannot be put back in, so it can’t be wasted!

As soon as I entered Essinger, I was immediately surrounded, and the gods kept thanking me. After this huge trouble was solved, it was actually the greatest benefit to them. As the representative of the gods, Taibai Jinxing expressed his gratitude to me and then wanted to take the gods away and leave. Of course, I couldn't let them go so simply.

"Wait a minute!" I quickly grabbed Taibai Jinxing. "Are you leaving now?"

"Is there anything else?" The old guy pretended to be confused.

"How will my loss be calculated?"

"loss?"

"Let's not talk about my own labor costs. Is it free to blow up the bomb in Huludi? Have you ever seen such a powerful bomb? Also. I have advanced the compensation for those who were accidentally injured. You won't ask me for it. Are you responsible for these losses? Although it's only a few thousand crystal coins, shouldn't I pay for this? Also, I lost almost one level of experience points because of the bomb. How to calculate this? By the way, I was in the blasting mission* The *needle is also broken, do you have to bear some responsibility for this? There is a quality guarantee for the goods you sell!"

Upon hearing this, Taibai Jinxing immediately said: "Oh! We were negligent. We can't do anything with the money you paid in advance. Heaven doesn't need the money, so we didn't prepare that thing. Can I give you something to compensate?" Taibai Jinxing took out an elixir. "This elixir can upgrade your demon pets to the top level. Is this enough to compensate for the loss of your money and experience points?"

"Enough is enough, but I have so many magic pets, how do I divide them among them?"

"What are you sharing it for?"

"How can we eat without distinguishing so many demon pets? Can one of them just 'lick' them?"

"This is for you to eat."

"My food?"

"This elixir enhances your power and then transfers it to your demon pet. Of course you take it. Otherwise, who else can take it?"

"Oh! I understand. But what about other compensation?"

"The ** needle is a loss caused by your own negligence. We have no obligation to compensate you. Labor costs! Here you go." Taibai Jinxing handed me another elixir. "This elixir can provide half a level of experience, which is equivalent to saving you time in leveling, and it can also be considered as compensation for your time loss. As for the cost of the bomb, your ally did not only charge you 100 crystal coins Really? We’ll give you a five-color dragon ball, which is more than ten times the price, didn’t you say that?”

"Yeah. Fair enough." Ashford was just buying the bomb for fun. Only 50 crystal coins were used to acquire it. I bought it back at double the price, and now it has been resold for 10 times. This business is not a loss. The only pity is the needle. It's really unlucky. I wish I hadn't taken it out at that time. Who knew that it would be such a coincidence that I would hit it with the first shot!

After sending away the gods, I began to direct Essinger to return to the land. The gourd has been blown up, and now it is safer to be in the sea than to go ashore. Although the gourd is no longer there. But its impact remains. And it will change more and more seriously. It is estimated that natural disasters such as tsunamis will become more and more common in the future. It is best for Essinger to go ashore now.

The city is still on the move. Suddenly a member ran over. "President."

"whats the matter?"

"The Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness have sent envoys respectively."

"Two temples?"

The player said: "We have arranged for their people to wait in two reception rooms. What do you think we should do?"

Eagle came over and asked, "Did they only send one person?"

"Three came from the Temple of Light, and more than three hundred from the Temple of Darkness!"

"So many?" Eagle was startled.

The player explained: "Most of them are guards, and only two are real envoys."

Eagle smiled and said to me: "The Temple of Darkness seems to regard us as more dangerous than the Temple of Light!"

I shook my head. "Al Ni is demonstrating. She is telling us that she is still a god. Her power is not something we can resist."

"A proud and arrogant woman!" Eagle said.

"It's a cute little woman!" I turned around and walked out laughing, leaving the confused eagle wondering what I meant.

As I walked towards the reception room, I said to the player next to me who came to report the news: "You first have someone go to appease the people in the Dark Temple. I'll be there in a moment."

"Okay." The player ran away first.

I arranged this not because I wanted to fall to the Temple of Light, but because I knew who came from the Temple of Light. I walked to the door of the reception room, took off my helmet and metal gloves and put them back into the bracelet. After sorting out the issues for a while, I opened the door and walked in.

There were only three envoys in the ultra-luxurious reception room. They were all wearing white robes with their heads covered. Two of the three people were standing in the middle of the room facing the door, while the other one was standing on the opposite wall with his back to the door, admiring the large wood carving mural on that wall.

When they saw me coming in, the two people facing the door folded their hands on their chests and bowed slightly to salute. Without waiting for me to return the greeting, they passed me and walked out of the door, closing the door behind me. I was left in the room with the person standing by the wall looking at the mural.

"Did you see anything under the Temple of the Goddess?" Don't be surprised. This person is Michael, one of the seven angels, the strongest candidate to be the next goddess of light. However, although she has no status now, she is actually no different from a goddess. I call her that to satisfy her vanity. I never offend others unnecessarily. Being humble to others is not for others, but for myself. It's a pity that most people don't understand this truth.

Michael didn't look back, she said slowly and gloomily: "I saw ***."

"Haha! The goddess really knows how to joke."

Michael suddenly turned around. She had a cute smile on her face, like a pregnant girl, with one hand covering her mouth and waving the other hand left and right in front of her face: "Is my joke so successful?"

"That's natural."

"So I'm such a successful artist!" Michael chuckled and slowly walked around the sofa and walked up to me, as if asking accidentally: "How did you guess it was me?"

I walked to the sofa and motioned for her to sit down opposite. After she sat down, I said, "Is this...! A secret!"

"Yeah! Do you want to listen?" Michael said this with a coquettish expression like a little girl. It made my skin crawl all over the place, but my face didn't show any change at all.

"Since Her Majesty the Goddess wants to hear it, I have no choice but to tell you. Actually!...It's because of your identity."

"My identity?" Michael's words have returned to a normal tone, without the sweet and coquettish feeling that makes people get goosebumps.

"Doesn't the goddess understand her situation?"

“I don’t understand my own situation, who else understands it?”

"That's it." I took a sip of tea to whet her appetite before continuing: "The Temple of Light naturally sent people to find me for only one thing, and that was for my promise." I saw Michael nodded. I then continued: "Since I know it is for this matter, of course it is you."

"Can't I send someone?"

"Of course not." I replied simply. "If you could, you wouldn't have come by yourself. Do you still need me to explain the reason?" After I finished speaking, I picked up the teacup and started to peck at it.

After a few seconds of silence, Michael suddenly laughed. "Hahahaha! What a joke!" She started acting like a baby again. I almost sprayed the tea on her face.

Smart people can actually guess that it was Michael who came this time. The situation is actually very simple, it just depends on whether you can contact me or not. First of all, we have no direct contact with the Temple of Light, so the Temple of Light will not send people over easily. Second, the Temple of Light is a large organization. In order to show its identity and power, there cannot be only three envoys. More than three hundred people came to the Dark Temple in one go. They must be over thirty to look decent, but only three of them came. The only reason there were so few was that they wanted to be hidden, they didn't want others to know they were coming.

The Temple of Light itself has not had much contact with us. This time I came to visit in secret, it must be because of the last time I promised Michael to help her kill the last obstacle to her promotion to the goddess, the Cloud-walking Angel Nero.

It is of course easier to guess the purpose of the visit and the identity of the visitor. As Michael's identity, there must be internal and external troubles in the temple now. How highly confidential is the need to assassinate competitors in this period? How could a person bent on usurping the throne trust his subordinates? Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Michael to send someone to tell me about such an important matter. The only way is for her to do it herself. And with her strength, no one can follow her when she leaves the temple, which is much safer than sending a messenger.

Considering all these conditions, I would have been damned if I didn't know that it was Michael himself who was coming. But I'm really confused now. Michael's attitude this time was completely different from before. When I first saw her in the Temple of Light, she felt like Wu Zetian, but today Michael feels like a mentally disturbed mental patient, and he is the kind of severe patient with self-delusion. Her personality seems to be split into a sinister ruler hiding in the shadows and an innocent young girl in love with her child. Is she trying to disturb me or is she just being irritated?

"Wahahahahaha!" The two of us laughed together in an extremely exaggerated voice. If there was a third person next to us, he would definitely go crazy because of seeing the two of us.

"Business." Michael smiled and suddenly stopped. I almost choked to death because I couldn't straighten out my breath.

"Listen."

Michael handed over a note, and I finally read it. What is drawn is a road map. "Nile will pass here tomorrow at noon."

"Where is this?" The route map was too detailed. It was obviously a small map of a certain area, but I didn't know where this place was.

"This is in the mountains north of Feiyu City. You can go there a little early and compare it from the air to easily determine the range."

"Is he the only one?"

"There are seven in total. Except for Nile, the other six are low-level angels. With the strength of your men, one-on-three is not a problem, not to mention that your people are still free when they are three-on-one."

I stuffed the wiring diagram into my bracelet and put it away. "Don't worry, I'll make sure it's clean. After tomorrow, you won't have to worry about anyone competing with you for your position."

"Ah ha ha ha!" The two of us started laughing like crazy people again.

After laughing for a while, Michael suddenly stood up and said: "I believe in your promise, you'd better not let me down."

"I vouch for it with my conscience."

"Do you have a conscience?"

"Haha! You're kidding! Please!" I stretched out my hand and let Michael hold my hand and walk to the door.

After opening the door, I found a lot of people standing outside. Those two guys actually blocked all the people from our guild. They were so arrogant that they really regarded this as the Temple of Light! People outside were dumbfounded when they saw Michael and I walking out almost arm in arm. The eagle gave me a thumbs-up gesture, the meaning of which was unclear.

After I walked outside, I stretched out my hand and said, "Priest uniform."

An NPC guard handed me a set of priest robes from the Temple of Chaos and Order. I shook my robe and threw it aside in a cool manner and let Michael put it on. "I have very troublesome guests here. You'd better not meet them. This robe can ensure your safety."

"I'm interested." Michael turned around and walked out of the teleportation array. Her two followers saluted me and quickly followed. Players from our guild also ran over to guide them.

After they were far away, the eagle came closer. "Are you really fast? You got started so quickly?"

"That's Michael!" I suddenly turned around. The cloak behind his back was thrown away with inertia. The eagle moved back.

The eagle was stunned for a while before catching up: "The world has really changed these days! Is the mouse giving New Year greetings to the cat?"

I corrected, "We're not mice."

"I didn't say we were rats!"

"We are not even cats, and the Temple of Light is not even a mouse. They are wolves. And they are hungry wolves. The one I am going to see now has something to do with cats."

"Is it related to a cat? Is it a tiger?"

"That's right." I said as I walked: "The Temple of Darkness is a sinking killer. Every time you attack, you will gain something. The Temple of Light is a swaggering wolf pack, searching for all prey across the mountains and plains."

"What about monsters and heaven?"

"Tianting is a fox, and a nine-tailed fox. Super strength and sleek appearance. The most dangerous force around us is them. As for the monsters. I hope to let them become hounds to deal with foxes, but they are a pack of wild dogs. , I’m not well-fed!”

"It sounds like we're surrounded on all sides?"

"Surviving in the cracks is the same no matter what you do these days. It's cold at high places, but heaven may not be as easy as us. In fact, sometimes I feel that being ordinary is a blessing."

"Can being ordinary be considered a blessing? Then let's forget about being beggars." Eagle obviously disagreed with me.

I don’t want to force him to accept my point of view, after all, everyone’s point of view cannot be exactly the same. Regardless of whether you agree or not, being able to listen to other people's different viewpoints with a smile is a quality that humans should have. If you open your mouth and bite if you have different opinions, you are a mad dog, not a human being. Many people are shouting about freedom of speech all day long. Why are they shouting about freedom of speech when they can’t even listen to different viewpoints? The real goal of this kind of freedom is probably to free yourself to tie up everyone else.

As we talked, we stood in front of the second living room. "Are you ready?" I asked Eagle.

"This is our territory, what else can they do?" After a while, Tianying thought I wanted him to prepare for a fight.

"I'm not preparing you to fight, I'm preparing you to hold your breath."

"Holding your breath?"
