Chapter 3 The Temple of Chaos
Chapter 3 The chaotic temple
The Jade Emperor gave me enough face this time. After getting the Fire Qilin quota, he agreed to give me the remaining items without any argument. But apart from these three arms, the rest are not very important. Before leaving, the Jade Emperor also gave me a trade-in benefit. Heaven will take back from me the thousand Heavenly Generals that were sold to me last time, and then replace the four thousand Lingxiao Palace Guards I bought to five. Thousands, which is equivalent to replacing the last thousand level 1,000 generals with 1,200 level Lingxiao Palace Guards. The five thousand fire unicorns will serve as the mounts of these palace guards and will be incorporated into the special army, not a separate army.
The Sanxian sold by Tianting is a level 1,000 all-purpose unit. It focuses on powerful single-target spells and auxiliary spells. It can also set up formations and other things, but it is not very outstanding. The Sanxian's mounts are long spears provided by our guild. Firstly, this is because only long spears can match Fire Qilin's space teleportation technique, and secondly, because I really don't have the money to equip them with heavenly mounts. Those fire unicorns are more expensive than the Lingxiao Palace Guards. It is already a luxury to ration the Lingxiao Palace Guards. If even a thousand-level soldiers like Sanxian also carry fire unicorns, then they might as well build an army of fire unicorns. Anyway, the fire unicorn is also a monster.
With these six thousand soldiers, it is over for Heaven. After bidding farewell to the Jade Emperor, he went directly to the Immortal Mountain to place orders for all the troops, and then left a few evil spirit knights to come down and bring these heavenly soldiers back to the guild. They could still handle this. The beast tamer is known as the only profession in "Zero" that can be idle for leveling. The reason is that our beast tamer's magic pet has higher intelligence and can do things on its own. Players who are not animal trainers can only fight under their own command even if they capture an angel or something. It is better to ask someone they don't know to do the job for them, and maybe the hope is better.
The other nine thousand soldiers and horses on the list given by the God of War are also very special units. I checked according to the list. The next unit is called the Poison Eye King, with a quota of one thousand. And only specific types of mutations. In terms of belonging, I belong to the Dark Temple. To be honest, I really don’t want to see Al Ni. That girl now thinks of me as an enemy and wants to kill me when she sees me! But I still have to make a trip to order the troops!
Unlike the Heavenly Court, the teleportation point in the Dark Temple is not open to the public, even to those with connections. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the Forest of Death. It’s still as peaceful as before. Maybe the dead don’t want to be disturbed! Pass through the Valley of Death and enter the mountains where the temple is located. I encountered countless zombies and skeletons along the way, but they would not take the initiative to attack me. Firstly, the national war had begun and the domestic monsters did not actively attack the locals. Secondly, the aura of death on my body was stronger than theirs, so I was probably treated as the same kind!
They walked until they reached the barracks of the Dark Temple's forward army before they were blocked. From here came the regular army of the Dark Temple, which were intelligent humanoid NPCs. The forward army is the first hurdle when there is no fighting. They are mainly responsible for intercepting the intrusion of low-level creatures. If they are really too high-level, they can only block them temporarily.
I thought it would take a lot of talking, but I didn't expect that the gatekeeper actually knew me and took the initiative to find the team leader for me. After confirming my identity from the guard, the team leader quickly took me to the rear politely. In the Dark Legion, the evil aura on the body is generally proportional to the strength. Like me, my whole body is filled with the aura of resentful spirits. The person who is riding down and riding Nightmare is simply the second devil. In addition, the squad leader heard that his subordinates said that I was Domingue's brother, so he became even more enthusiastic.
When I first met Domingue, he was just the commander of the small coalition forces. Now he has been promoted to the position of the general marshal of the Dark Temple's troops. The strength has also increased a lot. However, his feelings for me and Clark have not changed. It is not unreasonable for the senior officers of the Dark Temple to call us the Dark Three. Although Clark is only a special blacksmith in our guild now, before he retired, he was the highest military commander of the Black Temple, second only to the goddess, and he was also a powerful figure. There is no need to talk about Domingue, he is now in Clark's position, the goddess is first in the dark temple and he is second. Although I only hold the vacant position of Lord of the Magic City, our reputation is well-known! Kidnapped the previous goddess. I also ordered the bombardment of the temple, but the current goddess couldn't do anything to me. It’s already very powerful to listen to the tune but not the announcement. I don’t listen to either, and I am truly the best person in the Dark Temple.
Domingue seemed very excited to see me. "Haha, long time no see. Have you finally remembered that we still have old friends in this valley?"
"I'm here right now!"
Domingue circled me three times before saying, "Yes, it's much better than when I first came here."
"People always have to make progress! Second brother, haven't you also made a lot of progress? Remember when we first met, you were only level 750, right? Now it seems like you must be over 1,500, right?"
"Hehe. I was just promoted to one thousand six."
"It seems I'm being conservative!"
"Hahahaha! Tell me? What's the matter with you, the Calf Demon King, coming here today?"
"Calf Demon King?" I was stunned by Domingue's title.
Domingue smiled and said: "Do you know that our three brothers are called the three demon kings by the people in the temple?"
"I've heard a little bit."
Domingue nodded. "In the entire Dark Temple, you can kidnap one goddess and make the second goddess cry. You are the first person. So everyone says that you are the best person in the Dark Temple, plus you have the title of Demon King. Some naughty ghosts I gave you the nickname Bull Demon King, because you are the youngest among the three of us, so you are called the Calf Demon King.”
"Halo! It turns out that there are people in the Dark Temple who are so gossipy!" I shook my head with a wry smile, and then said seriously: "There are so many things. I do have something to do today. Well...is Al Ni here?"
Domingue asked me with some embarrassment: "Do you want to see her?"
I nodded. "What's wrong? Is she not here?"
"I'm here, but I advise you to come back in two days if you're not in a hurry."
"Why?"
boom. Before Domingue could answer, there was a loud bang in the mountains behind, and then we saw a man screaming and flying over and falling in front of us with a thud, motionless. Domingue pointed to the guy lying on the ground. "That's why."
"Good guy, has Arni been on fire these past two days?"
Domingue said: "Fire medicine? Now the goddess's temper is stronger than eating explosives. What is fire medicine?"
"Why is she so angry?"
"Speaking of which, you are still to blame for this matter. So you'd better not see her first. If she sees you in the past two days, I can't guarantee what will happen."
"Tch. I was afraid that she wouldn't rape me. But you said it was because of me. How come I didn't know? How did I offend her?"
Domingue said: "It's not all the fault of the Temple of Light! Since you helped Miluo clean up the internal forces of the Temple of Light, the entire system has been sorted out. Without so many internal constraints before, the Temple of Light has Now the power is completely centralized. Although it is easy to have accidents due to leadership problems, the military's reaction speed is several times faster after the dictatorship. It's not like you don't know about that crazy woman Miluo, you didn't know it in the past two days. Something is wrong. Five strongholds of our temple were pulled out in succession, and even His Highness's favorite Black Flame Bead was snatched away. News came this morning. The Temple of Light plans to attack the sixth stronghold again. No, I’m so angry! I was so scared that I didn’t even dare to stay in the conference room, so I came here to take refuge!”
I pointed to the man on the ground and said, "Who is he?"
"He is the supreme commander of the stronghold that the Temple of Light is about to attack. He came in the morning to ask for reinforcements. The goddess probably didn't want to give them, so she threw him out. If you go in now, you will hit the barrel of gunpowder. Wait. Let’s get bombed!”
"Although it seems that the time for my arrival is not suitable, you are right, I am really in a hurry and don't have time to wait. You'd better inform me!"
"I want to live for two more years! I don't want to die so early." Domingue handed me a badge. "Go in yourself!"
"The position hasn't changed, right?"
"Oh, by the way! I forgot that you haven't been here since the temple was restored!" Domingo pulled a guard over. "Take him there."
Although the guard didn't seem to want to go, he still reluctantly made a gesture of invitation to me. I waved to Domingue. Follow the guards toward the temple at the back.
The newly built temple is much grander than before. The Dark Temple is still full of money. If I were to build such a large building complex, I would probably go bankrupt. I followed the guard into the real main temple for offices at the back, and the guard told me that it was in the middle room on the second floor. Then he ran away as if running for his life.
I walked helplessly to the stairs in front of me, but there was no one here. You can hear needles dropping inside the building, which is as large as a large gymnasium. Suddenly, I heard a rush of footsteps coming down from above. Only a dozen or so vampire maids ran down in a panic holding a pile of fragments of something, and then disappeared outside the gate without looking at me.
Confused, he followed the stairs to the second floor. There was a huge banquet hall above that could be used to practice car driving. It was obviously using magic space technology, because it looked countless times larger than the first floor. Except for the stairs on the side I came up from, the other three sides of the hall are doors. But there is an extra-large door directly opposite, which should be the conference room.
As soon as I reached the door, before I could knock on it, the door suddenly opened. I was startled and jumped to the side. I saw a man turning somersaults and falling out, followed by a small plate and a cup flying out behind him. These things hit the guy's butt with a loud sound, causing him to fall over again just as he turned over. A familiar female voice came out from the door in an angry manner. "You bastard, what do you do raising a bunch of trash like you?"
Accompanied by roars. I saw Arni rushing out from inside waving a scepter. She held the scepter and chased the guy who came out first while shouting: "I told you to run away. I told you to abandon the city! There is no city lord like you in the Dark Temple. I will beat you to death. You still have the nerve." Come back! Go to hell!"
The man in front hugged his head and jumped up while shouting: "Goddess, spare your life! I have no choice but to do it! The enemy is more than thirty times our number, and even if I hold on with my little force, it is meaningless!"
"Can you just run away if it's meaningless?" Arni suddenly turned over and flew in front of the guy, then waved his staff and made a half-circle like a baseball, hitting the guy in the chin, sending the guy flying backwards. got up.
"Home plate!" I shouted at the door, clapping my hands.
The poor man fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and had been knocked unconscious. Arni's eyes instantly focused on me. "How did you get in?"
"That...this..." Arni's eyes were completely murderous, and I started to stutter when I spoke! After calming down for a while, he said: "I have something to ask you about. As for how I got in. You should know this, right?"
"What do you want from me?" Arni suddenly turned her back to me, and then I saw her upper body tilting up and down, as if she was taking a deep breath. After seven times in a row, Arni turned around again, but this time she was smiling, and she didn't look at the angry state just now. "Is there anything you need to talk to me about?"
I looked at her with a smile. "Wow, Arni, when did you learn this trick? Can you change your face faster than turning the pages of a book?"
After hearing what I said, Arni's expression became a little distorted, his smile seemed stiff, and from time to time he turned into an angry expression. But soon she returned to her smiling face, feeling as if two people were constantly fighting for control of her facial muscles. As her expression changed, her breathing became more and more rapid, and after a minute, her smile suddenly lost control. "I can't hold it in any longer! Go to hell you bastard!"
"Hey, what are you going to do? Don't get excited!" I quickly made a defensive move.
Arni rushed over like a crazy buffalo. Although she was not a physical combat type, she was a goddess after all, and her strength was really incredible. I just felt like I was hit by a giant dragon. The whole person suddenly flew up and flew directly through the door into the room where Al Ni rushed out just now. With a bang, I landed on my back on a table. The huge long table was smashed to pieces by me, and everyone on both sides stepped back in fear. After working for a long time, the room was not empty, there were still many people inside!
These are all people from the Dark Temple. Who dares to help Al Ni when he hits someone? I struggled to get up from the fragments of the table, but Arni had already rushed in and hit me with a stick. "It's all because of your double-dealing!"
"What am I doing..." The scepter hit me before I could finish my words. I quickly covered my face with both hands to hold the scepter. But the huge force could not be offset, and I was blown away again.
Domingue originally didn't plan to come, but thinking about Al Ni's current mood, I felt that I might suffer if he didn't come, so I finally decided to come and have a look. If nothing happened, he would run away immediately, and he could save me if something happened. Life. Who would have thought that as soon as he walked outside the hall, the window on the second floor suddenly shattered with a bang, and a person flew out from inside. Domingue almost instinctively reached out and caught the man. I was shocked when I saw his face. "Ah? Your Majesty the Goddess!" He quickly put Arni down.
I appeared at the window on the second floor and shouted down: "Arni, I think you are a woman and I don't care about you. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
"If I didn't beat you today until you can't even recognize your sister, I wouldn't be Al Ni!" Al Ni jumped off the ground and jumped up to the second floor, flying back directly through the window he just flew out of.
Domingue skipped the stairs and jumped up. The room was in a mess, like a typhoon passing through. He looked around. Several big shots from the Dark Temple are there. But at this time, everyone was huddled in the corner like quails for fear of being swept away by the typhoon. In the middle of the room, Arni and I were wrestling with each other in a very graceless manner. It's exactly the tricks used by hooligans to fight.
Domingue suddenly entered, and the bosses all saw it. They cast questioning looks at Domingue. Domingue waved his hands back, and those people immediately slipped out knowingly. If you don't run now, when will you wait? After everyone was gone, Domingue coughed on purpose to remind us to restrain ourselves. But we all didn't give him face, he coughed, and neither of us had any intention of stopping.
Arni seemed to be addicted. He suddenly kicked me away, turned over, picked up the scepter and pointed at me. "Orb of Judgment!"
"You're a scumbag!" I quickly ducked out of the way of the black ball of light. Domingue was trying to stop us with his "heavy cough", but unexpectedly I suddenly dodged and a ball of light flew over. The unsuspecting Domingo suffered an immediate disaster. The ball of light melted in as soon as it touched him, but a burst of electric arc immediately covered Domingo's body. He immediately started to dance with convulsions due to the electricity, and fell down with a plop a few seconds later.
I looked back at Domingue who had fallen to the ground. "Damn, are you so sinister? Look at my super leg sweep."
Arni quickly jumped up and tried to hide from my legs, but she didn't expect that I didn't have any legs. I went up and wrapped my arms around her shoulders, pulled her down sharply, and directly trapped her head under her armpit. He raised his left hand and flicked her head hard. "Tell you to hit me again!"
Arni was unconvinced and wanted to struggle, but unfortunately he couldn't. Although she is not weak, she is not stronger than me. Fighting is not her specialty, and she is certainly no match for me. After struggling for a while, he found that he couldn't get away. Arni simply collapsed on the ground as soon as his body went limp, forcing me to sit down too.
Domingue got up from the ground with smoke all over his body. "Phew! It turns out I haven't been beaten to the point of death yet! Ziri, you bastard, it was all your fault. It was almost finished!"
I smiled. "What Al Ni threw was a ball of judgment, not a ball of judgment. It can't kill anyone." As I said that, I knocked on Al Ni's forehead again. "Hey, if you are honest, I will let you go."
"Humph!" Arni only made a nasal sound, but the nasal sound also has a lot of meanings. The tone now is completely the sound of a little girl making trouble, not the angry state.
I slowly let go of Arni, and she immediately flashed away like a little mouse. After quickly adjusting her appearance, she immediately asked me seriously. "You said you have something to do with me. What exactly is it? Has someone found the Stone of Commandment?"
"That's not true. I just came to you to approve the purchase plan for some military units, and there are also some things that I have to buy from you. Our guild will immediately prepare for the first battle after the start of the National War, and we need a lot of supplies."
"This is simple, give me the list."
"Don't you even ask me what I want?"
"How can I know if you don't show me?" Arni said while searching among the ruins. It took a long time before he finally dug out a complete chair and sat down. "If you can't show it to me, just tell me what you want."
"There aren't many things, but I need some special arms, and they are very special arms."
Arni stretched out a hand to stop me from continuing. "You can ask for soldiers. You should know the situation our Dark Temple is facing now. As long as you have the ability to help me solve the problem, I will give it to you even if you ask me to kill the God Squad."
"Hey! How did you know that I wanted to kill the God Squad?"
"What? Do you really want the God-Slaying Team?" Arni was just making an analogy. She didn't expect that I would actually ask her for such a high-level unit. The God-Slaying Squad is an 1,800-level unit, and it is specially matched to double its power when acting in groups, so it is called the God-Slaying Squad. This kind of team is specifically responsible for assassinating high-level beings of hostile forces in the Dark Temple. Their combat power is absolutely terrifying, but their number is relatively small, which makes them appear more valuable. Although he was surprised, Al Ni reacted quickly. "Okay! You just need to help me with the Temple of Light, and I can give you the God-Slaying Team. How many people do you want?"
"I want team seven."
"Are you crazy? Seven teams? I only have six teams here, and it's not enough for you!"
"Six teams are six teams. I'll suffer a bit, so let's forget it! But you have to give me a 50% discount. I know this unit is not cheap."
"It's a beautiful idea. There are at most five teams, and the price is negotiable, but you have to help me with another thing." After finishing speaking, Al Ni approached me with a smile, which made the hairs stand on end all over my body. Instinct told me there was intrigue in her smile.
