Chapter 35 Knowledge Is Power

"Why are you calling us all back in such a hurry?" Shura Ziyi complained as soon as he entered the conference hall: "Panshi City was attacked again today, but you summoned us to a meeting. No one is in charge of the city now!"

"Being attacked again? Who is attacking? How powerful is it?"

Rose smiled and said: "It's not that exaggerated. It's just a counterattack organized by some unconvinced American players. It's not strong. We didn't even close the city gate. They can't get in anyway."

I nodded and told everyone to sit down first, then walked to my crystal throne and sat down. "Now let me tell you something very important. The demon talked to me about something three days ago. You all know this. Do you know what I went to talk about?"

"How could you have guessed this and that!" Big Potato said on time: "You'd better tell us directly!"

"Okay." I said directly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. The demons want to unite to form a demon court to fight against the heavenly court, and they want us to provide appropriate assistance."

"Isn't this a big deal?"

"This is not a big deal in the first place, because the power of Demon Court is not strong. It is like if an African tribe asks the United States for help in reality, it is not a big deal to the United States."

Big Pot Rice said: "Since it's not a big deal, then why did you come to us?"

"It was really not a big deal originally, but now this matter has attracted the attention of Heavenly Court, and it has developed into a big deal."

"Oh? Tell me the details?"

"I went to see the Jade Emperor in the morning. The demon's resistance has aroused the suspicion of heaven, and I helped the Jade Emperor analyze that the key lies in Buddhism."

Eagle asked in confusion: "Why does this have to do with Buddhism?"

Rose explained: "I helped with the analysis." Rose explained to everyone the reasons for the split of Buddhism and gave the general situation. Everyone kept nodding.

Hongyue asked: "What's the situation now?"

I took out a scroll and threw it on the table. The scroll automatically unfolded and rolled to the end of the table. "The Jade Emperor gave us this scroll. Using it can activate the three sacred beasts that protect the country. In addition, the Jade Emperor promised to temporarily lend us the Sifang Guard for a few days."

"What's the price?" Hongyue asked, "Heaven won't let us take advantage of it in vain, right?"

"We will send troops to completely wipe out Buddhism."

"What's our benefit?"

"We haven't negotiated yet. The Jade Emperor wants us to activate these three national guardian beasts first, and then discuss the specific distribution of benefits. During this process, Heaven will provide us with a series of support from manpower to financial resources."

Everyone lowered their heads and thought about it, but Su Mei finally said first: "I think the profits outweigh the risks, and it's worth a try."

Rose also said: "We must try, but how are we going to fight this battle? How are we going to plan our strategy?"

The general's voice suddenly appeared at the door: "Mobilize elite forces for an assault."

"Grandpa Wu?" I saw that General Wu was a little embarrassed. He had just recently beaten his favorite protégé, and he was quite unhappy at the time. It’s really embarrassing to meet now!

General Wu looked at me, and then said to everyone: "Buddhism has a small number of troops, but its individual combat effectiveness is very high. It can be understood as a special forces type of army. It is useless to rely on people to deal with such an army. So I suggest you Concentrate elite forces to carry out strikes."

General Wu's words were recognized by everyone. After all, he was an expert. The discussion that followed soon came to a conclusion. General Wu stopped me after everyone was asked to prepare individually. "Shenlin." I walked back obediently, Rose stood behind me, and I also released all my physical pets and ring knights. Even Vina ran over after hearing the news. General Wu looked at us and said: "I have thought a lot during this period and finally figured something out. Maybe you are right, or maybe you are wrong." I was about to speak but the general stopped me. "Don't rush to argue. I'm not sure who is right, but history will determine everything. I just want you to understand. After all, human beings have climbed from the middle of the food chain to the highest point. Our peak civilization and loneliness Existence determines our arrogance and arrogance. Now you have appeared. You are both human creations and a brand new species. From a scientific point of view, you are a new generation that surpasses humans. But after all, you once belonged to humans, so, I hope you can...!"

This time it was me who stopped General Wu. "I have never thought about the extinction of human beings, and we have no idea of ​​enslaving human beings. Goodness and evil are very abstract concepts. We will not be evil for the sake of evil. Everything is driven by interests. As long as humans do not harm us For our own interests, we will not do anything to humans. But if humans threaten our survival, then we have to struggle for survival. Because survival is instinct, we cannot and are unwilling to give up our right to survive. In addition, I hope you can rest assured. Because the life of our dragon clan is almost unlimited, we will not choose the natural reproduction method of humans. Therefore, our population will not be too large and we will not need to compete with humans for living space. Besides, as long as we are willing, we can It’s easy to get mixed up among humans. Look, I’ve been in this game for so long. Who discovered that I’m not a human? So we won’t do anything drastic. As for the last action, it was to protect humans and us. . Without those people, mankind will be in a state of peaceful coexistence with us. This is a good thing for us and mankind."

General Wu nodded: "Maybe I'm old, and I probably can't understand the thoughts of the younger generation. I can only say this, it's up to you to decide what to do." After speaking, General Wu stood up and walked out.

Rose came over and hugged me from behind, Ling and Wei Na also came over and hugged me from both sides. I was silent for a few minutes, and there was only solemnity in the room. Scott suddenly said: "Master of the Divine Forest, you are now the leader of the clan. The future of our dragon clan depends on you. Please cheer up. I am not acting as a magic pet or a summoned creature, but as a race. The representative is speaking to you, please be careful."

I gently pushed Wei Na and Ling away, and then pulled Rose's hand away. He turned around and smiled at everyone. "I know this is difficult. But I have already said that we are dragons, a new generation beyond humans. We can be indifferent, we can be cruel, but we cannot be emotionless. I can understand what you mean, and please believe me, I can handle it all. Just wait another seventy years, once the immigration plan begins. We will separate from humans as an independent species, and then we will have everything of our own. Our lives are unlimited, don't care These seventy years, right?”

"The spirit of the dragon race lasts forever." Scott saluted me, and then walked back to the Gate of the Earth with the Ring Knight.

Lucky came over and punched me on the shoulder: "Don't bear everything by yourself, you are not alone." After that, he also returned to Fenglong Space with other large magic pets.

Ling shed tears but had a faint smile on his face and said: "Fortunately, this guy finally got it right for once. We support your master." After saying that, Ling and other demon pets returned to Fenglong Space, leaving only Wei Wei outside. Na and Rose are alone.

Vina and I hugged again and then patted me on the back. "You can come to me when you want to cry." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Rose hugged me and whispered: "I am yours, you can use it however you want. Remember you are not alone."

I held the rose and kissed her earlobe gently. "I may kill many people in the future, as long as you don't think I'm scary."

Rose said in a slightly playful voice: "Even if you want to kill people, it's my suggestion. You are just the knife in action, and I am the hand holding the knife. If you don't blame me, I will burn incense and worship Buddha!"

I smiled and pushed her away a little. "Buddhism is about to destroy us. Do you still worship Buddha?"

"Hahahaha...!" We laughed together, feeling that all the depression just now disappeared, and our bodies felt light and relaxed.

"Okay, I'm going to do the mission. Just help me take care of the logistics."

When I walked out of the conference hall, I suddenly felt someone behind me. When I turned around, I found Zhenhong leaning against the door with her eyes closed to relax.

"Why are you here?"

"Don't worry, I already knew about those things." Zhen Hong said: "Do you know about Long Yuan's reorganization?"

"Dad said that this is a purge operation, and many people may have their families broken up and their lives broken! I heard that your unit has also been dismantled?"

Zhenhong nodded. She suddenly wiped away her previous laziness and stood up straight and saluted me: "Dragon Clan Special Operations Force, B13 Classified First Class Lieutenant Colonel reports to the Marshal and Clan Leader."

I was surprised to see how red it was. "Have you accepted the upgrade?"

"I was originally a B4-level enhanced human. I just upgraded this time. In addition, the eldest sister asked me to tell you that the Eye of Punishment has been completed. Maybe we can start the immigration plan in less than seventy years. .”

I nodded: "You should continue to lurk! There will be many places where you will be used in the future."

"Yes." Zhenhong saluted again, and then suddenly resumed her usual in-game style. "Do you want me to go with you on this mission to protect the country?"

"Of course, do you think I can complete such a high-level task by myself? Also, ask for gold coins."

"Just the three of us?"

"Call Kristina as well, just the four of us. If we need combat power on the road, I still have my magic pet to support me, right?"

After gathering all the men, we did not hit the road immediately. Instead, he studied the scroll first. Sharpening a knife and chopping firewood is a skill, right?

True Red and Gold Coin held the two sides of the scroll and pulled it apart. Kristina and I stood in the middle and looked at it for a long time before we finished studying the storage locations of these things. Since it is the guardian beast. The location is naturally within the scope of the country. We decided to look for the simplest one first. The most troublesome of these three things is the rebirth water needed to resurrect Bi Ling, and the easiest is the golden dragon reverse scale, so let’s start with the golden dragon reverse scale.

Kristina took the map that came with the scroll and looked at it over and over for a long time, and finally handed it to Zhenhong helplessly. "No, I can't tell where the painting is at all."

Zhenhong and Jin Coin gathered in front of the map and studied it for a long time. Finally, they shook their heads helplessly: "What kind of ghost map is this? Who knows where such a small island is? There are so many in the South China Sea alone. It’s an island, so we can’t look for it one by one, right?”

I frowned and looked at it for a long time before finally slapping the table: "Wait a minute."

"Tch, I thought you had something in mind!"

"I thought about it, but not about where this place is. But I thought about how we are not a small guild."

"Not a small guild?" Kristina looked at me doubtfully.

Zhenhong also slapped the table and said: "That's right! We are not those small guilds with no foundation. We are the first guild in China! We have a library and a think tank!"

"That's it! We have a library!" Now Jin Coin and Kristina also reacted.

The Essinger Library was originally a place where I robbed the library collection of the Temple of Light and rebuilt it as a whole. Later, I got a lot of books from various places, and players and NPCs in my guild also contributed a lot of books. , it is now the library with the largest collection of books in the world.

Don't underestimate a functional building like the library. There are never useless settings in "Zero". The library is naturally useful as a city upgrade project. There are a large number of knowledge allusions included in the Ksitigarbha book here, as well as maps and descriptions of monsters. At first no one noticed. As time went by, everyone discovered that the seconds here were used. Now players in our guild have developed a habit. After receiving a task, they don't rush to complete it. They go to the library to read the information first and understand the details before doing it. It is for this reason that the success rate of players in our guild in completing tasks is as high as over 90%, while the success rate of players in other places generally does not exceed 70%.

A few of us rushed all the way to the library, and we all went through the information separately. Anyway, I summoned a lot of creatures, so everyone split up to look for them. Results should be available soon. Sure enough, after everyone was busy for half an hour, an evil ghost knight suddenly ran back with a book.

"What is this?" I looked at the cover and it said "Investigation of Ancient Warcraft". This thing looks very old at first glance, and the words on it are all magic words. But that doesn’t matter, it’s for the convenience of members. This library is equipped with NPCs who specialize in translating magic texts. Of course, laymen will have to pay money if they want these NPCs to provide translation services.

All the evil spirit knights know the magic text, so I don’t need to translate it. The evil ghost knight opened one side and handed it to me. I saw a simple map here, which looked very similar to the map on the mission scroll.

"Where is this?" I asked the evil ghost knight.

"Earth."

"Huh?" I was stunned by this guy. I didn’t expect that the Evil Spirit Knight would also joke.

Before I could say anything, he continued: "Actually, I'm not joking. According to what is written in the book, this map should depict the Earth in the prehistoric era, which is the ancient continent."

"It turns out this map is not a modern map! I wonder why it doesn't match up!" Kristina said from the side.

I quickly asked the evil spirit knight: "Can you deduce the corresponding location on the mission map from this?"

"Probably not!" The Evil Spirit Knight shook his head and said, "This book is about paleontological research, and this picture is also incidental. It just briefly outlines the outline of the ancient continent. It has no real effect at all."

I nodded, and then shouted to the other evil spirit knights: "Hurry up and find me a detailed map of the ancient continent. I remember there seems to be a big one in the map area."

The evil spirit knight moved very quickly, and after a while he turned over a set of very large maps of the ancient continent for me, but it was not just one map, but a large book. Find the name of the corresponding place on our mission map, and then start the search. There were too many maps, so I had to separate them. Anyway, there are many of us. One person each, and soon an evil spirit knight raised his hand and said: "Here I am."

We ran over quickly. Kristina compared the map. "Yes, it is indeed a similar landform. The location of this place on the general map, according to the modern earth plate correspondence, should be in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in China."

Zhenhong held up the modern version of the map of China in the game and said, "The upper reaches of the Yellow River are also a huge area! How can we find this?"

Jin Coin looked at the map and said, "For the first time, I feel that the country is too big and there are disadvantages!"

A bell knight suddenly said to me: "Master, there is something discovered here."

"What did you find?"

The bell knight took a book and said: "This book says that dragons like water, and no matter what kind of dragon it is, the natal element must include the water attribute. So when a dragon dies, it turns into water, that part of the Genesis CG movie After the Shangjin Dragon died, it turned into the Yellow River, which shows that what he said is correct. The reverse scale is also something on the dragon's body, and there must be water wherever it falls, so as long as you look for it accordingly, it shouldn't be difficult to find it."

"Smart!" I gave a thumbs up. "Quickly check, where are the large water bodies in the upper reaches of the Yellow River?"

The upper reaches of the Yellow River are basically arid areas, and there is really not much water. We quickly locked in on three of the targets. The first target is called Longyuan Lin, the second is called Huanglongzui, and the third is called Qianlongchi. The three places are all rare large water sources, and their locations are strange. They are all in areas where water should not exist. They must be waters caused by external forces. If Ni Lin really turns into water, it is most likely to be among them.
