Chapter 1766 Di Ruigi’s Shadow

As the saying goes, you can wear everything but flattery.

No matter how much you do to exaggerate the other party's achievements, you will never be disliked.

After hearing this, the more than 20 people in the room all looked relieved. One of them said: "It's not like we are the only 20 or so people left. We are just elected representatives responsible for negotiating this matter with you. Now it has been confirmed. Since His Majesty the Beastman King is sincere, he will inform the others of His Majesty’s thoughts before making the final decision.”

"Please hurry up," I said. "If you delay for a second longer, something may happen."

After everyone dispersed, I pulled a chair over and sat down.

Boss Ren also pulled up a chair, sat across from me, and whispered: "Although these people have been suppressed for thousands of years, they still take the honor of the family very seriously, and that's why they have such an arrogant attitude."

"It doesn't matter." I waved my hand and said, "It's a good thing to have a strong sense of family honor. It can stimulate their fighting spirit. But regarding this operation, I have always had a bad premonition that something might happen suddenly. Something unexpected happened!"

Boss Rennes narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "Are you worried that Carter Horton might already know about our actions?"

"This is just a guess," I said, "Of course, it could also be because I'm too tired."

"For our sake, this journey is really difficult for you." Boss Renn looked up into the distance, looking at the garbage mountain higher than the city wall, and said solemnly: "You have to go through the dirty sewers, and you have to climb over the disgusting Mountain of garbage.”

"These are not the important points." I shook my head and said, "The main thing is that on the way here, I met a pig-sized mouse, and I was led into a fantasy world by the reliefs on the sewer wall."

"Can the reliefs on the sewer wall lead people into a fantasy world?" Boss Renn looked at me suspiciously, his eyes full of disbelief.

"It's normal if you don't believe it," I said. "If someone suddenly told me a similar experience, I would think he was making up a story."

Having said that, I paused and asked, "Have you ever heard of the name 'Dirigi'?"

Boss Ren's face froze, and then his face darkened, his eyes were sharp, and he whispered: "Where did you hear this name?"

"Illusion," I said, "Before leaving the illusion, I asked the monster's name aloud, and it said its name was Di Ruigi."

Boss Ren's eyes were horrified, and his expression kept changing. A few minutes later, he murmured to himself, "Didn't you lie to me? Is all this true?"

I frowned, pushed him, and asked, "What are you muttering about?"

Boss Renne just came back to his senses. He glanced at me with a complex expression, his eyes full of hesitation.

"What's wrong?" I said with a smile: "When did Boss Ren, who has always been vigorous and resolute, become so indecisive?"

After hearing what I said, Boss Renn gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind, saying, "I have indeed heard of the name Di Ruiji."

"This can be seen from your expression." I laughed and said, "However, I am curious, where did you hear this name?"

"My father once told me when I was very young," Boss Lane recalled: "It is said that during the melee period before the legendary heroic period, this was not a capital, but a prosperous village. The villagers lived and worked in peace and contentment, and everything was prosperous. , but at some point, something that looked like asphalt appeared out of thin air in the village, and this thing was actually alive!"

"As soon as it appeared, it flew to a cave not far from the village, which is the source of drinking water for the entire village."

"Soon, the water source was contaminated by the monster. The originally pure water turned into a turbid lavender. Even if it is filtered, it cannot return to its original color."

"Because that is the only water source in the village, the villagers have no choice but to continue drinking the polluted river water. Anyway, it just tastes weird, so they can tolerate it and get over it."

"The villagers' ideas were still too naive. A few months later, a plague suddenly broke out in the village. The plague came so violently and so fast that all the residents of the entire village were infected before they could even be treated and purified. In just a few days, most of the villagers died."

"When the news of the plague spread, there was no one alive in the village. The principality would not take action rashly just to protect the safety of a village. They planned to wait until all these people were dead before setting fire to the entire village. , the provincial plague spread to other places.”

“The principal’s idea was right and the measures they took were appropriate, but they still underestimated the power of the plague. In the next half month, four villages and one town bordering here were all attacked by the plague, which was unexpected. The principality anticipates that this plague will be extremely difficult to treat and spread rapidly. Unless one-third of the principality’s doctors and priests are summoned to assist, the city will have to be abandoned.”

"After weighing the two aspects, the principality gave up on the four infected villages and one town, and began to protect the remaining towns. The decision of the principal's senior officials chilled the hearts of countless people in the principality. In the few days after the order was issued, several people Millions of people took to the streets, marched in protest, and denounced the inhumane behavior of the principal leaders. At the same time, other principalist and imperial forces also took the opportunity to launch public opinion attacks to shake the foundation of the country."

"In the face of internal and external troubles, the senior officials of the principality were forced to withdraw their decision and sent a team of doctors, priests, scholars and adventurers to personally visit the plague areas to explore and treat the disease. My ancestors were among them as guards."

Boss Rennes swallowed and continued: "The investigation process is very difficult. Not only must we find clues to the source of the disease, but we must also be mentally prepared to be infected anytime and anywhere. Once infected, the end result will most likely be death."

"Fortunately, the ancestors and the group were wise and quickly determined that the source of the plague was here. After repeated negotiations, the group decided to take the risk to explore. In the end, they found the asphalt-like monster in the cave and had a fierce battle with it. .”

"Twelve strong men of national power level were killed, only one doctor was left, and only one priest was left. Faced with such a tragic scene, the asphalt monster whose whole body was already in pieces gave a weird laugh and said an order. Those words made the ancestors shudder."

Taking a deep breath, Boss Rennes said slowly: "It said, 'This is just my shadow, I, Di Ruigi, will come back again.'"

"That's why" Boss Ren said: "When I heard you mention Di Ruigi, I was so panicked. This name not only represents strength, but also represents plague and death."

"Such a terrible history has not been sung by troubadours as a warning. I have to say that the troubadours during the melee period really did nothing."

"No, it's not because they didn't act," Boss Renne said, "If you hadn't mentioned this name today, I wouldn't have told you this secret history. It's just a nightmare, and I would rather never tell you about it. "
