Chapter 59 The New Era of Faith

"Go on." I threw a money bag into the hands of the woman behind me.

The woman instinctively caught the money bag. "what are you doing?"

"Don't you just want me to pay for the damaged things? This should be enough."

"We don't...!"

"Don't explain to me, everyone is busy, let's not waste each other's time. No delivery." After saying that, I looked at the magic guest on the ground, and the kid was still twisting there like an eel that had landed on the beach. . "Hey, kid, don't bother, you can't get out."

"That's not necessarily true." White light suddenly flashed on the kid's wrists and ankles, and the grass blades surrounding him immediately flew up. "Haha, bye! Huh?" Before he could get up, he found something still wrapped around his waist.

The ground suddenly shook, and then the land turned completely. Huge branches of the rose vine emerged from the ground, one of which was connected to Shenke's waist. I smiled very proudly. "Since you know who I am, you should also know what I'm good at, right?"

"What's there to show off for a bastard who relies on the power of others?" Shen Ke seemed to be very disdainful of my behavior.

I smiled and shook my head: "Why are young people today so rebellious? Or am I already old?"

"You premature waste, how can you catch me?" The white light suddenly flashed around Shen Ke again, and then all the branches of the rose vine were cut off. Using the branches as pedals to bounce off, Shen Ke jumped out at an unimaginable speed.

Watching that guy fly half way up in the sky, I smiled bitterly and shook my head. "tank!"

"I'm ready." The tank arrived very fast, and immediately expanded into launch mode as soon as it exited the Fenglong space.

I took a rough look at Shenke's flight position, and then pointed to his landing point ahead. "Delay for three seconds and give him a shot. Be careful not to use too much power. If it explodes, I will have to search for him all over the world!"

"clear."

After the explanation, I jumped on Yeying and chased after him. The tank didn't fire until we ran out for a while, and immediately returned to the Fenglong space after the firing was completed. The guy Shenke was falling after flying far away. The protector heard a loud noise behind him. When he looked back, he saw a purple ball of light flying towards him. Although the magic crystal cannonball flies very slowly, no matter how slow it is, it is still a cannonball, and it is always much faster than a human. At first, Shenke felt that the cannonball seemed to be fired inaccurately, but after a while he realized that the cannonball was actually heading towards where he landed. Although I want to get out of the way. But this guy can't fly, and there's nothing he can do in the air.

Everything has two sides. The strongest is the weakest. Having good jumping ability seems to be an advantage, but once you jump up, you are most vulnerable before you hit the ground. Shen Ke landed on the ground with the front and back of the cannonball without any deviation. With a loud bang, he flew forward and beat the shit out of him.

"Bah...!" Shen Ke pulled his head out of the ground and spat out the mud and grass blades in his mouth. Just after a while, I saw a red light flying over. "Oh my god!" He rolled to the side, and the red light plowed the ground and flew over. Before he could catch his breath, another beam of light suddenly flew over. This time it was white light, but it looked more dangerous. Shen Ke jumped up quickly and took three steps out. The ground exploded after he jumped away. It was like being hit by a cannonball. "Wow..." Shenke, who was only paying attention to the ground, didn't expect to be hit hard on the back suddenly, and his whole body flew out sideways.

Shen Ke, who landed again, was about to get up when he suddenly felt an extra weight on his back. I kicked him back to the ground. "How do you feel? You are no match for me!"

Rose jumped off Yeying's back, then walked up to us and looked at the divine guest on the ground. "Give you a chance. How about cooperating with us?"

"What a beautiful idea." Shenke suddenly pushed me out with all his strength. Although I didn't fall, he ducked behind Rose and put a small dagger on Rose's neck. "Hahahaha! You just said that I can't beat you, how about it? All your women are here with me!" After the guy said this, he even wanted to rub Rose's cheek with his face.

Rose felt his behavior and frowned. Shen Ke suddenly felt his wrist being grabbed. Rose exerted a strong force, and Shenke immediately grabbed the dagger due to muscle relaxation. Following Rose, she suddenly squatted down and gained momentum. As soon as his arms wrapped around the person, he reached behind Shen Ke. He flicked the dagger on the ground with his toes, and the dagger flew up again, but it only landed in Rose's hand. Rose put the dagger at the guy's throat and slid it up and down evilly. "Who taught you to kidnap ladies? Don't you know what gentlemanly behavior is?"

Rose is a special person trained by an authentic spy. Later, she learned Tai Chi, and her neurological reactions were greatly strengthened after becoming a dragon. Isn't it easy to deal with a little kid who hasn't received any fighting training?

Shen Ke didn't understand what was going on until the dagger was pressed against his neck. Just now he was holding the dagger against someone else. It was reversed in less than a second. The contrast is too great!

"Are you gamemasters?"

What Shen Ke said surprised me. "You don't know who we are?"

"Why should I know?"

"Then why did you see us running?" Rose asked.

"He saw me hang up last time. I know him." Shenke pointed at me. "He was staring at me just after leaving the teleportation array. His eyes were clearly directed at me. I thought you were going to use this to blackmail me."

Rose changed the position of her arms very covertly. He put two fingers on this guy's neck, and then continued to ask: "Do you really only know that we saw you hang up?"

"Of course, can this be false?" Shen Ke said aggrievedly.

Snapped. Rose turned him around and gave him a big slap, then turned back again and put the dagger to his neck before he could react. "Are you only twenty years old? Have you learned to lie at such a young age?"

"Who told you that I was only twenty years old?"

Rose suddenly realized: "Yes, I almost forgot. Your body was modified by yourself, and this body should not be its original appearance. But your appearance has not changed much?"

"A man can change his name but not his surname, let alone change his face? Since you are not the administrator and you are not trying to blackmail me, then who are you?"

I smiled. "Want to know? Think about it for yourself what you have done?"

"What did I do to me?" Rose turned him around again, raised her hand and slapped him again. But this time he failed to hit it. This guy reacted quickly and caught it. "I hate people hitting me in the face the most!" Shenke said and suddenly shook Rose's hand. No matter how powerful Rose is, she is still a girl. Her body outside the game cannot provide strength to the characters in the game, so her game character is still a girl. Her strength cannot be compared with this guy, so she was thrown out. When he saw Rose being thrown away, he immediately wanted to counterattack, but Rose rolled to the ground and got up again. When he rushed forward and punched out, Rose grabbed his arm and used his strength to move forward. Shenke was completely unable to control his body because of the power of his punch and the traction of the rose, and he rushed forward. When he rushed past Rose, Rose casually tapped his calf with her foot. The arms grabbed his neck and lifted him up at the same time, and the guy immediately flew up, flying out like Superman.

Snapped. This guy came to poop like a hungry dog ​​again and took a mouthful of mud. Rose clapped her hands and walked over. "I advise you not to misunderstand me just because you think I am a mage. I have learned fighting, and you are no match for me."

"Tank." I opened Fenglong Space again.

"What's the matter?" As soon as the tank came out, he found that the target was very close, and he didn't know what I wanted him to do.

"Step on him, be careful not to crush him to death."

Tank stepped forward obediently. Shen Ke originally wanted to run away, but was kicked again and pulled off again. Tank put his attacking forelimbs directly on this guy. He was struggling desperately below, but it seemed like he was carrying a big mountain on his back. The tanks above were motionless.

I walked over and kicked his head and arms, which were only exposed. "Don't bother. The tank's legs weigh at least two or three tons. He had to lift it a little harder. If it were all on you, you would have to spray shit from both ends now."

"I won't give in."

"I don't intend to make you give in." I knelt down and patted his face. "Do you want to know who I am? Let me give you a hint. I know you are a very good hacker. But you have invaded a network system that you should not even look at. Do you remember it?"

This kid Shenke was really not that arrogant, he immediately started shouting loudly. "I haven't seen any of them: the CIA, the British Intelligence Service, and the Chinese Dragon? Could it be that you...?" This kid finally had some impression.

"Remember something?"

"Are you from Longyuan?"

I smiled and patted his cheek. "Not too stupid."

"Are you really from Longyuan?" This guy obviously didn't believe it yet.

"Do I need to lie to you?"

"Haha! Sure enough, they are from Longyuan. So what department are you from? The Intelligence Department? The Research Department? Or... is it the Plan B Special Forces Team?" Seeing our eyes widening, the boss immediately confirmed: "No. Wrong, it seems that you are indeed members of Plan B." He asked excitedly: "Are you animal soldiers or synthetic life forms? Or enhanced humans? Or something else?"

Rose went up and kicked him. "How much information have you read about Long Yuan?"

"Not much, just a little bit." This guy was very proud. "So you are really a special operations force? Haha! I thought the Long Yuan database contained fantasy novels at the time! It seems that the research reports are all true! Are you really as strong as Superman? "

I said bitterly: "I don't know which one is more powerful, us or Superman, but I know you will soon become a useless person."

"It doesn't matter, you can't find me."

"What do you think that thing we stuck on your head is? Is it a decoration?"

"Long Yuan's technical power is indeed powerful. But no matter how strong it is, so what? You are just a group of Earthlings, and no matter how good your technology is, it is still Earth's technology."

Rose and I looked at each other. He instantly understood what the other party meant. Rose lowered her head and asked: "You mean you are not using earth technology, right? Does that mean you have alien relics in your hands?"

"Eh? You also know about the ruins?"

"There's more than one ruins, there are them all over the world." I put my sword next to his finger. "What did you pick up? Tell me!"

"Why should I tell you? Ah...ah..." His arrogant expression could not last long because I cut off one of his fingers. Currently in bloody mode, his pain will be intensified by one and a half times. Of course, if his finger is cut off, it will be excruciatingly painful.

"Are you willing to tell me now?" I smiled like a devil.

"I will never...ah...!" He was missing another finger.

"There are eight more. Which number do you want to wait for?" I still smiled when I threatened, as if I was asking the waiter what he wanted to order. But what I'm asking him to do now is his own fingers.

"Two balls." Shenke finally gave in. "I got two black metal balls. They are slightly bigger than basketballs."

"Do you know what that is?" We actually know it's a computer, but we wonder if Shenke knows.

"It's a computer." He replied politely: "I deciphered the connection program, and it is indeed two computers."

Rose and I both gasped. Isn't this kid too genius? Surprisingly, even the computers left behind by aliens can be deciphered.

I continued: "How did you find out those were two computers? And. How did you exploit them."

Shenke said with a trembling voice: "I didn't know what it was at first. But because it was a metal shell and the shape was too regular, I thought it must be an artificial object. I accidentally touched a switch, and it turned on There were three small holes. I used a magnifying glass to observe and found that there seemed to be a lot of metal reeds in the holes, just like circuit board bayonet. I then concluded that they were some kind of special electrical interface. I modified my home computer It became a circuit test terminal, and then I made three homemade plugs that could be plugged into those holes. Then I used a computer to check the voltage response of these interfaces, and found that they were special circuit interfaces that operated according to certain coding rules. .After that, I hacked into the bank network, and then made some money for myself, and then laundered the money and bought a lot of equipment. Using these things, I successfully understood how these two balls worked. They actually It is a supercomputing core that integrates memory and internal data bus. It can be used as the core processor of a computer. I spent a lot of money to buy some equipment and transformed them into their peripheral mechanisms, and then I came up with A dual-core, high-end computer.”

"You can invade Longyuanluo with just a high-end computer?" I find it a bit incredible.

Shenke said: "Super computers only solve the hardware foundation. If you want to invade a super network like Long Yuanluo, you need at least one such super computer. Otherwise, the scattered data of the network itself will be enough to burn my computer!" But what really gave me the ability to enter Long Yuanluo was the software in those two cores. I initially thought they were just two super chips. It turned out that they actually had pre-installed software inside, and they were also fully intelligent advanced auxiliary programs. , although it is still relatively dull, it is definitely a real artificial intelligence. They are very good at invading network systems. They seem to be specially used to do this. The previous castle-like network systems were in front of him, and they could enter at will. "

Nuwa's voice suddenly came from the ruby ​​​​on Shen Ke's head: "No wonder the defensive wall I set up was breached in just ten minutes. It turns out that I encountered the same kind, and they were two at a time!"

"Same kind? Are you also a computer?" Shenke's voice was still trembling, but this time it was not because of pain, but because of excitement.

Nuwa said: "You are dead anyway, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. I am Nuwa, the main computer of Longyuan Base, a completely independent artificial intelligence system."

"So you are just like those two balls?"

"No. I'm bigger than them."

I added: "Nu Wa is an electronic tower with a diameter of more than ten meters and a height of 300 meters. It is full of her computing components, and her computing power is quite powerful."

"Oh my god! God-like existence!" Shenke said excitedly: "If my friends at the station knew that there is such a computer in the world, they would be jumping up and down with excitement."

Rose interrupted him coldly: "You can't tell them. Since Nuwa has free time to talk to you, it means that she has found your location. Now our people are on the way to your real hideout." Shenke was about to react when he heard this, but Rose said first: "It's useless to go offline. The thing on your head will forcibly lock your thinking signals. If you forcefully go offline, it is equivalent to cutting off your consciousness and body." Turn it on. Your body will become a vegetative state, and the mental body in the game will be erased as incorrect data by the main server due to the loss of external signals. From now on, you will no longer exist in this world."

"You want to kill me?"

"If you cooperate with our work, wait until those people outside arrive at your home. We will let you exit normally. They will bring you to Longyuan headquarters."

"You want me to work as a researcher at Longyuan Headquarters?"

"What a beautiful idea you have!" I knocked on him. "You will only be caught. As for what will be done in the future, it depends on your performance. But you can't be a researcher anyway."

"I won't cooperate if you don't let me be a researcher." Shenke threatened us sternly.

I shook my head and said, "That's your business, we don't care. Anyway, we can read the data out of your head if you don't cooperate. It just takes a little time."

As we were talking, those rubies suddenly fell from Shenke's head. Before we could be surprised. Nuwa's voice has appeared. "Don't worry, our people have found him." Nuwa's voice said to Shenke again: "You can log off now. Follow our people and don't resist. Your resistance will only cause harm to yourself. Unnecessary harm.”

"I don't..." Shen Ke's body suddenly twitched and then stopped. It seemed that someone outside had forcibly removed his helmet.

I picked up the ruby ​​and asked, "What should I do with this?"

Nuwa said: "You and Xiaorong each take two, and send the other two to the God of War to use as communication stones, so that I don't have to find you and send someone to ring the bell to call you offline. What does this mean? I can ask you questions directly."

"That's right." I handed the four pieces of ruby ​​to Rose and was about to leave with Rose when I suddenly realized that there were people around me. However, the performance of these people is a little surprising. There were about a few thousand people around us, but they were far away from us and probably didn't hear what we just said. If they were really close I would have noticed.

Judging from the clothing, these people all belong to the Temple of Light, but the badges seem to be different from before, which made us very confused. These people all stood in a circle with their backs to us, not like they were surrounding us. On the contrary, it seems to be protecting us. Outside these people, some people with very chaotic professions poked their heads in. They seemed to be curious players who had gathered around them. People would find it strange that we were protected by so many knights in the center, and it was normal to watch the excitement.

In addition to these two types of people, I also found a third type of people, and there are only a few people in this group. They were all wearing white priest robes with red edges and spire-like priest hats on their heads. They were obviously very high-level high priests. People like them are not uncommon, but players will never wear the high priest hat that symbolizes power. That tall hat is just ceremonial clothing. For players, it would be more practical to find a hat with attributes. Besides, there are so many people dressed the same way here, 100% of them are NPCs, and players rarely wear uniforms.

Seeing that I noticed them, one of the high priests standing at the front immediately shouted to me loudly: "Hello..."

Damn, it's too far away, I can't hear what's being said. I took all the demon pets back to Fenglong Space, and then disposed of the corpses left by the divine guests on the ground who were forced offline. He turned around and walked towards the group of people. When they saw us approaching, they immediately came up to meet us. But the guards with their backs to us didn't move. After getting closer, I could see that these people were Templar Knights among NPCs. And they are all the best of the best, because none of them are equipped with shields. Among the Templars, only the Two-Sword Commandos are not equipped with shields. They are a group of religious lunatics, but they have to admit that their combat effectiveness is also crazy.

"What did you just say? It was too far away, I didn't hear you."

The high priest heard my words and immediately said: "I am telling you that we are the high priests of the New Light Temple. The Goddess Temple knew that you were coming and sent me to pick you up."

"Goddess? Are you talking about Philindil or Marilyn?" The European Temple of Light is now divided into two parts by us. Both sides claim that they are authentic, but no one can suppress the other. Of course, the culprit of all this is me.

The priest seemed unhappy after hearing what I said, but he still suppressed his anger. "None of them. That enchantress Philindil actually dares to call her a goddess. She really overestimates her abilities! Our goddess is meeting the Lord of Darkness in Germany. The person who summoned you is the goddess's sister, the goddess of dawn."

"The sister of the goddess of light?" I thought for a long time before patting my head. "Oh, I remembered it. It's that little girl Yuna who wants to see me, right?"

The high priest's face turned even uglier, but he still didn't dare to get angry. "The status of the goddess in the temple is very noble. Can you please use the title to refer to the goddess instead of calling the goddess by her first name?"

No wonder the priest's face was so ugly. It turned out to be because of his name. I smiled and patted his shoulder. "Don't mind! Aren't names just for calling people? That girl Yuna's name is quite nice, it would be a pity not to call her her. Where is she now? Take me to see her."

Although he was extremely angry, the high priest could only suppress his anger. Although I saw that the muscles on his face were beginning to twist, I just didn't let him go. You, the goddess, still have to weep and beg me for help in front of me. You priests are just servants of the goddess, what's so cool about it?

Tell Rose to go back first. I followed the priests to the temple alone. The direction we walked was different from the location in my memory, so I asked the priest next to me. The priest immediately explained: "The real main temple of light was blasted to nothing during the last holy war, and the new temple is now located outside the city."

"Oh, that's it. It seems like you guys are really good at fighting!"

"For the orthodox 'nature' of God, we must launch a holy war to defend the dignity of God." The priest said impassionedly. As if this is such a great thing. But I can't understand their mood. We never fight for others. Even if you work for the country, it is actually because your own interests are actually integrated with the country, so helping the country is helping yourself.

After arriving at the temple, I was taken to the main hall at the back by another group of priests. Although this place is newly built, the area is not much smaller than the original one. And because the area is small, the design is much more compact and practical. It is not as big as before, and the empty yard looks ugly.

After entering the main hall, the priests took the initiative to retreat. This was not a place they could enter. I walked in alone. The interior was luxuriously decorated and felt very majestic. However, after I walked around for a while, I found that when I got close to something, it would glow, obviously repelling my dark attribute. Even the tables and benches placed in this place can be regarded as artifacts of light. After all, it is a thing used by gods. Literally, even a toilet used by gods should be called a god's toilet, let alone these furnitures?

"Are you here?" A crisp goddess appeared at the small door in the corner of the room.

"Are you Yuna?" I was surprised to find that this little girl seemed to be much more mature than the last time I saw her in Egypt, and she looked very charming. When I first saw her, I thought this girl was just a child, but now she seems to be a mature woman. This change is so obvious that it is not caused by just one or two things. It seems that her pressure during this period is not much less than that of her sister.

"Don't you recognize me?" Yuna walked to the middle of the room and motioned for me to sit down, then brought a drink to me. She sat down opposite me very elegantly. "I know you're wondering why I want to see you."

"Well now you can explain."

"Let's put it this way!" Yuna thought for a moment and said, "According to your words. I want to make a deal with you."

"Wait a minute." I quickly stretched out my hand to stop him. "Don't say it yet. Let me make a statement first. If you want me to help you destroy another Temple of Light, then forget it. I won't accept it."

"Everything has its price. This price is not necessarily money. Ordinary things can be purchased with money, loyalty can be purchased with kindness, and love can be purchased with the same effort. Everything in this world can be purchased as long as there is reasonable The prices are negotiable.”

"I don't object to this. But the price of helping you destroy another Temple of Light is something you can't afford."

"How do you know we can't afford it if you don't tell us?"

I patted my forehead with a headache and said: "I won't talk in circles with you anymore. Let's be direct. For me, the stalemate between you two is my best interest. Either you continue to stalemate, or you disappear together. This It is my best interest. Now that you want me to help you eliminate another temple, you should understand the price of the transaction."

My words have been made very clear. The other Temple of Light no longer exists, and this one here must also disappear. It's as simple as that.

Yuna thought for a moment and asked, "Is there no other possibility?"

"Other possibilities?" I thought for a while and said, "Maybe there is, but I'm not sure. In my personal opinion, you probably don't have anything really worthy of me doing this. Therefore, apart from you yourself, I don't care about you. Basically, the temple doesn't have much interest. But I know that you won't trade the entire temple power with me, so I won't mention it at all."

"It seems that I still think of things too simply!" Yuna was a little sad, her eyes had begun to sparkle, and it looked like tears would appear at any time. "I thought... forget it! But... what do you think of my power?"

"Sorry, I haven't seen you take action before, so I don't know what your level is."

"My combat power is about the same as that of a goddess, maybe a little lower."

"Then I can only understand that you have the power of a candidate goddess. In that case, you are still quite powerful."

"Then what if I trade myself? Will you help us?"

"Exchange yourself? Do you mean mercenaries? Or maids?"

Yuna nodded shyly: "No matter what you want me to do, as long as you are willing to help us. Even if you want...that doesn't matter."

"I'm sorry, it's not that you are not strong enough, nor that you are not beautiful enough. But I really don't need it. I have many divine pets with the same level of strength as you. I don't think this is a suitable deal."

Yuna's tears finally fell. She betrayed herself at the expense of her dignity. It was actually returned, which really hurts my self-esteem. But I won't agree to her just for a moment. Compassion does not control soldiers. People in my profession cannot be considered good people. Besides, for a woman like her, acting ability is a basic skill. Who knows whether she is really crying or fake crying! Although according to common practice, this is indeed a very hurtful thing for self-esteem, for diplomats, self-esteem is an important bargaining chip to raise prices, and if it is for a higher increase, self-esteem can be thrown away casually. Yuna is obviously no exception. She might have been innocent a month ago, but she was definitely not what a silly girl could do today.

After crying for a while and seeing that my face was still expressionless, Yuna also knew that I was not fooled. She put away her tears sadly and began to say to me again: "Even if you can't help us eliminate another Temple of Light, can you at least lean more towards us?"

"Isn't it enough now? Your strength is not as good as Philindil's side. Now you not only suppress them so much that they can't lift their heads, but you also take the initiative to cause trouble for them everywhere. Is this an accident?"

"I understand what you have done for us, but we...!"

"I know. Any political system has the instinct to expand, and the temple is no exception. But I also have my own interests, and I can't throw away my entire guild for you. If you think it's not enough, I will There is really nothing I can do. Besides." I paused for a moment and waited for Yuna to concentrate before continuing: "I have to remind you."

"Please say."

"A gun will kill the first bird. If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yuna slumped on the sofa as if she suddenly lost strength. Even the cup in his hand fell down. Fortunately, there is no water in it.

I waited for her to catch her breath before continuing: "I know you can't accept it for a while, but I have to let you understand. We are not a charity. I feel that telling you this is the greatest contribution I can make for you. !Sorry, I have to go."

Yuna didn't respond at all, sitting there motionless like an idiot. I shook my head and got up and walked to the door. When I opened the door, I found a large circle of people gathered outside, seeming to be eavesdropping. The door suddenly opened, startling them. They all fled far away. I turned around and said to Yuna, who was still in a daze: "One more thing to say to you. The world is endless, but life is limited. What is yours is yours, and don't force what is not yours, otherwise you will not even get what should belong to you. We will also lose it together. Remember my words!" After saying that, I opened the door completely and walked out. The priest outside looked at the goddess who was still staring at the door in a daze, and then at me. He didn't know whether to stop me or send me out.

I had no time to care about them. I immediately turned the teleportation ring after leaving the temple gate. The next second I appeared in the French part of the teleportation array in Tianyu City. From here, use the city teleport to reach Germany, and then use Germany's domestic teleport array part to reach the teleport point of the Dark Temple. As a diplomat, I have high-level clearance in various places, and the Black Temple is no exception. After leaving the teleportation array, the dark palace knights guarding the outside were startled, but after seeing the dark aura on my body, they immediately stepped aside respectfully.

"I asked why I felt such a powerful force of darkness. It turns out you are here!" The great lich Moret appeared next to me. This guy is now working part-time as a researcher in our guild, but he still runs back and forth from time to time, and he wandered back today.

"I want to see Ditans, let me know."

"Ditans is in talks with the girl from the Temple of Light. I'm afraid...!"

"Do you still care about the rules?" Moret is known as the scum of the Dark Temple. He has always treated the rules as nonsense, and no one can control him.

"Okay, okay! I'll go right away, you wait first."

After a few minutes I got permission and was taken to the underground secret hall. Then a little devil took over as the guide and took me to the meeting place. The location of the secret meeting was very strictly guarded, and no one else was allowed to approach. The little devil sent me outside the door and let me go in by myself. There was no third party inside.

After the little devil left, I opened the door and walked in. "The believers of light and darkness fought outside and caused countless casualties and corpses everywhere. I didn't expect the bosses of the two families to be here drinking tea and chatting. Poor believers!"

"You bastard, you dare to come here. I didn't settle the score with you last time!" Ditans didn't show any respect at all. Last time, his warehouse was emptied, and he was still jealous!

"Hey, don't be so stingy!" I sat down next to Marilyn carelessly, and put my arm on her shoulders in a very intimate manner. Marilyn's face turned red and she wanted to resist, but my hand squeezed her shoulder a little harder. She immediately gave me a questioning look. I gave her a suggestive look, and she immediately snuggled up to me obediently like a little daughter-in-law and stopped resisting.

Ditans looked at me, then at Marilyn, and suddenly laughed. "Is this the kind of relationship you have?"

Marilyn was about to explain. I immediately opened my mouth and said, "Knowing that you are still so cruel?"

Marilyn opened her big eyes and looked at me in confusion, but Ditans across from me was obviously heartbroken. "Then you really can't blame me. I didn't know you two could...what the hell! Did you inform me?"

"Tch! This is private life. Do you understand private life? It is my private life that no one else can control. Do I still need to report it to you?"

"What are you talking about?" Ditans said with some embarrassment: "I'm not that kind of person. But since you said it yourself, of course I won't be like before!"

Marilyn looked at Ditans in surprise. Then he looked at me again. Then I snuggled closer. She put her mouth to my ear and whispered, "What's going on?"

I pretended to kiss her on the forehead, but I said, "You idiot. If I hadn't come today, you would have been chewed away by this big bad wolf, and not even a single bone would be left!"

"But we didn't do anything!" Marilyn asked doubtfully.

"It's too late by the time he starts doing it. Is your head filled with water? Who is he and you dare to negotiate with him? I want to give it to you for free! At least I can leave a whole body inside! This guy eats People don’t spit out bones!”

"Isn't that too exaggerated?"

"Don't believe me? Then stop talking and just listen to me." I pretended to pat her face affectionately, but in fact it was a warning to her. I stood up and shook my armor. A whirlwind rolled up from under my feet. When the whirlwind disappeared, I had already switched to the silver cloud state. He sat back on the sofa and held Marilyn in his arms. "It's much more comfortable now!" The magic dragon's armor is too hard. It's okay to stand or ride a horse, but it's not very comfortable to sit on the sofa! The Oath Set is light armor. And most of the parts are made of silk brocade, which is quite soft. The most important thing is that I feel better when I eat Marilyn Tofu.

After I changed into the silver moon state, Marilyn became less resistant, probably because she felt that she looked too womanly! She snuggled up to me obediently, acting like a little wife to the fullest, and she would not give up until she made Ditans salivate at the sight.

"Your Highness Ditans, let's be clear! I actually just went to the Temple of Light. Yuna told me that her sister was here to negotiate with you, so I hurried over. What you talked about I I also know."

Ditans nodded. "Now that you've said so, I can't tell you any more lies! We in the Dark Temple don't want to see the existence of the Light Temple. It doesn't matter who is in charge of the Light Temple."

Marilyn in her arms visibly stiffened, but she still didn't say anything. I hugged her arm tightly to comfort her not to get angry. I still looked at Ditans with a smile. "I understand what you mean. The battle between light and darkness will never end. You have also seen my demon pets Ling and Xiaochun. Even though they are my demon pets now, they still don't come to Dahe. , this kind of hostility buried deep in the bones cannot be completely suppressed even by a loyalty contract. So I understand your sense of resistance to the Temple of Light. But have you ever thought about what would happen if the Temple of Darkness lost the Temple of Light? ?”

"Losing the Temple of Light?" Ditans thought for a moment and said, "Of course it's the madness of the sun...!" He suddenly got stuck. "Damn it!"

I knew he had thought about the result, so I continued: "It would be best if you could understand. So the Temple of Light is not something you must eradicate."

Ditans patted his head and said, "I almost did something stupid! Thank you so much for reminding me!"

Marilyn's face turned red after hearing this, and she looked at me with a smile. Then he hugged me tighter.

I looked at Ditans, and then said: "In fact, your purpose is nothing more than to develop the interests of the Dark Temple. The Light Temple is your enemy on the surface, but in fact it is not. You have all got the goal wrong. As far as the current interests are concerned, In other words, it is true that if you take more, he will take less. But you have not noticed that the total amount of benefits is actually not fixed. If everyone uses the strength consumed in confrontation to open up a wider space for benefits , the result is that both parties will gain greater benefits, which is better than this situation of competing for food in a bowl, right?"

"Can the benefits be expanded?" Ditans was stunned for a moment after being fooled by me.

I nodded: "It's actually very simple to expand the profit space." I pointed to the top. "I just went to the red planet and the shadow planet for some investigation."

"Ziri, you are such a god! Can you go to that place?"

"I'm taking a space channel, not breaking through the atmosphere and flying there. Where do you want to go?" Ditans' eyes clearly thought that I jumped directly from the earth and flew there! Do you think I am an artificial satellite?

I didn’t dwell too much on this. Instead, he asked seriously: "Well, how is the situation over there?"

Upon hearing this, Marilyn in my arms also pricked up her little ears. Although she is a bit stupid, she is in charge after all. Marilyn is not really stupid enough to have anything she wants, but she is just not as good as us old slickers.

"This...!" I rubbed my fingers. Damn, we’re not your parent’s employer. News can be sold for money these days. You want to hear my investigation report without giving me any benefits, and let me drink the northwest wind?

Ditans is not stupid either. It was immediately clear that I wanted benefits. He was not stingy about this kind of thing, and immediately said cheerfully: "Well, I recently found a poor magic crystal mine. Our temple's mining technology is not as good as yours. Mining this kind of mine is not very profitable, so why not give it to you?"

I nodded with satisfaction and squeezed Marilyn's hand. Come on, do you really think you are my woman when you are in my arms? It's your turn to do the favor!

Marilyn glared at me angrily. But he still whispered: "A small red crystal mine."

After receiving the reply, I started to introduce the situation of the two planets with a smile. Of course, what Ditans and Marilyn really care about is the racial and religious situation on both sides. I also pick out the things they care about and tell them. Both of them listened carefully to my introduction. I gave them a short moment to think. During this period of time, I went out to the guards and asked for a large plate of magic fruit. This thing can increase the upper limit of magic power and increase magic attack power. It is very expensive outside and is also limited in supply. Most of the time They are all priceless. The Dark Temple is one of the origins of magic fruit. I eat and take it every time I come here, so I can’t treat myself badly.

Ditans was shocked when he figured out the key. I saw a big basket in front of him, filled with a basket full of fruit stones. "Oh my god! How much have you eaten?"

I sat down with a glass of magic spring in my hand, chewed half of the magic fruit in my right hand, and said with my mouth still full: "Wu Du Wu is a bululu!"

"What did you say?"

I swallowed hard and said, "I can't say many, only about a hundred!"

"Isn't it? You can't eat like this without money?"

"Are you feeling distressed?" I stretched out my hand to stop Ditans before he could speak and said, "No need to explain, stingyness is stingy, it's true! Your place is also known as the largest producing area! I feel so distressed after eating a few of your fruits!"

Ditans said unconvinced: "Isn't it just a hundred or so fruits? I don't feel bad about it! It doesn't matter how many more you have."

"Oh, that's so embarrassing!" Ditans suddenly noticed that my eyes were not kind. I quickly wanted to change my words, but before he spoke, I rushed out the door and shouted: "Guard, His Highness Ditans is going to give me thirty baskets of magic fruit. Prepare it for me. I will come and get it later."

Ditans almost fainted. Although this is one of the origins of magic fruit. But the output of this thing has never been high. Thirty baskets is definitely a large number, but after all the words have been said, I will definitely laugh at him for being stingy. Come to think of it, he still didn't say anything.

I ran back with a smile and continued: "Oh, His Highness Ditans is so polite. Look, you are holding it while you are eating it. I am so embarrassed!"

"Then you too...!" Ditans wanted to imitate me in extorting something, but I interrupted him.

"I also came back with such important information for you, so we are even, right? Sigh... I can't calculate the debt of favor! Come, let's talk about business."

Ditans's ability to play tricks is still not as good as mine. I got confused a few times and had to continue talking to me about serious matters.

Marilyn asked me first: "Expanding the number of believers is indeed a good way, but according to you, both planets have their own religious systems. Under this premise, we want to successfully invade their religious forces. , probably not that easy, right? There are many areas on the earth, but our religious invasion has not been very successful. For example, in China, although there is a light temple and a dark temple. But after all, there are still many supporters of local religions . This is still on the same planet. If we go to a different planet, even the races will be different. How can we invade?"

Ditans obviously attached great importance to this question and looked at me seriously waiting for my answer. I said directly: "Actually, you think things are too complicated! These two planets are actually easier to invade than the earth. Almost every force here has its own religious system, so if you want to invade, you have to To fight people from these systems, you must find ways to win believers from the other side. But it is different when it comes to these two planets. Although the shadow planets have myths and legends, they have no religious power. The legends are just legends. There is no such thing as the existence of this temple or that religious religion. In other words, their belief situation is basically still in a semi-vacuum state. There is no one to compete with you for anything. All you have to do is to find a solution to their original mythology. Unify under your beliefs. Are you good at making up stories?"

"Making up a story?" Ditans was a little bit unable to accept my statement.

I said disdainfully: "Don't be upset, faith is just that."

Marilyn smiled and said: "You dare to blackmail His Highness Ditans. It seems that you are indeed a person without faith!"

"It's not that I have no faith, I just don't believe in gods. But people on the shadow planet all believe in the existence of gods. They even have temples for sacrifices, but their temples are completely just places of sacrifice. Except for celebrations, there are almost no There are people to guard it. Moreover, I found that the earth god enshrined in their temple seems to be the superior god here."

"Higher God?"

"Yes. I heard that they have a goddess of life over there. She happens to be exactly the same as our Chinese Nuwa, and even the magical properties are similar. In addition, I also saw the altars of the water god and the fire god there. The situation here is similar to ours. In other words, you can freely use their names when making up stories. Anyway, your beliefs here are also established on this basis. Isn’t it difficult to apply the following? "

“It’s really not that difficult, but preliminary inspections and other tasks still require a lot of manpower.”

"Then I have no control over it. I've pointed out the road for you. It's your own business to follow it or not. Of course. If anyone needs help during this development process, just ask. Of course, you have to pay for the hard work. pay."

"Vampire!" Ditans muttered.

"Eh? Have you discovered all this? My teeth are well hidden!" I deliberately made Ditans angry. It would be great if you can make the other party lose control of their emotions during negotiations! Crazy people have no intelligence and can blackmail as much as they want.

It's a pity that Ditans is not an idiot, he still has this bit of control. "We understand the situation of the shadow planet, but what about the red planet?"

"The situation over there is not as good as the shadow planet. According to my observation, most of the creatures on the red planet have no intelligence. Just like the monsters that come to the earth, they are actually no different from the owner leading the dog. They are just some Specially trained beasts. The real Red Star creatures are some weird-looking creatures, and there are many types. However, these creatures basically have no social system. Their society still remains in a state of semi-slavery and semi-primitive tribes , although cities have been established, they are basically very backward.”

Ditans asked: "But the Red Star that came to Earth has very powerful magic equipment?"

"I haven't figured out what's going on yet, but that's definitely not their average level. There should be some kind of highly intelligent group on the Red Star. Their number is also very rare. It's even possible that those magic instruments are relics and monsters They are just using it, but have no manufacturing capabilities. You need to send more people to see the specific situation. I can only tell you that most of the indigenous people there are very backward and have basically no faith. It is completely virgin land!"

Ditans nodded, then looked at Marilyn and said: "According to Ziri, expansion is indeed much better than us competing for limited faith resources here. I see our previous agreement...?"

"Then forget it!" Marilyn nodded in agreement.

I said to Ditans: "Then we will discuss specific expansion matters next time we have time. During this time, we should focus on exploring the situation of the two planets. What do you think?"

"Of course." Ditans stood up and shook my hand: "It's a pleasure to work with you."

“A pleasure to work with.”

Ditans sent us out of the gate, and of course I didn't forget to take the blackmailed magic fruits with me. Seeing Ditans' distressed and helpless expression, I really felt that this trip was worthwhile. After leaving the temple, we first met up with Marilyn's men. She is different from me. She is a goddess after all, and it is unlikely that she will run around alone.

Because I am here, Marilyn plans to use our teleportation array to return to France. This can be faster. I also got into Marilyn's carriage. All the two original maids were kicked out. Marilyn looked at me with a red face, but I kept a straight face.

"Don't pretend to be pitiful with me. Your tricks are of no use to me. What deal did you and Ditans discuss just now?" When Marilyn was about to speak, I quickly stopped her. "I advise you to think about it carefully. Even if you lie to me, I can still buy real information from Ditans. So... you can figure it out yourself!"

After hearing what I said, Marilyn stopped talking and began to think quietly. There was a knowing smile on my face. She was just starting to think about the problem now, and it was obvious that she had no intention of telling the truth just now. Now it depends on whether she plans to be independent or completely dependent on our guild in the future, but no matter what she decides, I will not lose a penny of the benefits.
