Chapter 676 The world is galloping
The "Tower of Babel" is a magnificent beast, a moving city, a center of power and money.
And I am stepping into the head of this giant beast now.
Lu Mengyao felt for a moment that she was standing halfway up the mountain of Cangshan Mountain in Dreams, but the more she went up, the harder she could climb. She only walked halfway, and there was still a long bumpy road waiting for her to conquer.
Epicurus, one of the three sages, is the mysterious king of void, the consul of the ring of courage, and is also the supporter behind the magician who has never appeared on the adventure of the magician. From the moment she entered the game of heaven, she had the mark of the king of void. After understanding this, Lu Mengyao had a flash of thought to throw away the fake void volume, but she still left the book at her side.
Epicurus gave her a choice, and she chose to cooperate with him, which was a verbal agreement. Lu Mengyao was waiting for him to come and receive compensation, and many intentional or unintentional arrangements were as expected. The reason why Tristi could approach the core of the plane traveler was also allowed to be released after her consideration. If it were in the past, if Tristi had not realized that she was a tool, the magician would have cleaned her up without a trace.
The four of them went deep into the overlapping corridors inside the Tower of Babel until a portal of standard format appeared in front of them. After passing by, the four of them found themselves appearing on the bridge of an old starship. The religious arrangement and style around them gave way to the three travelers who looked familiar.
“…Warhammer 40k starship?”
A cluster of black and red flames jumped up from the lit candlestick, and the flames rolled down onto the luxurious and heavy carpet without burning any fibers. The flames gradually expanded until the figure of a tall woman appeared. Rose, one of the most famous powerful evil gods in the story of the Dungeon and Dungeon world. The queen of the Deep Pit Magic Web Plane. At this moment, the Spider God Queen appeared as a dark elf, with long, deep skin as pale as snow. But her eyes were not the usual red, but brilliant golden.
"Mother." Cuisti saluted Rose timidly. The latter did not look at her daughter more, but looked at the three people in the plane travelers maliciously. Sadako Yamamura frowned unhappily under her gaze. Lu Mengyao stepped forward without any influence and bowed to her.
"Is there anything wrong? Outsiders?"
Lu Mengyao was very disgusted with the pretending mysterious style of the Spider God Queen. She took another step forward, and this time she was not so polite: "I want to talk to those who can make decisions."
"Hahahahahahahahaha--" Rose's laughter echoed in the empty bridge, and the flames of candlesticks around her rose and fell with her laughter. Then the beautiful smile on her face suddenly subsided, "The first time I encountered such a thing, people who have something to ask for can be so unceremonious."
In the shadow behind her, a shadow moved. The Spider God Queen, who had been condescending before, suddenly changed her face. She grabbed Tristi with one hand and stepped aside.
Lu Mengyao was secretly surprised. Compared with Su Jing's "communication", her "observation" was more inclined to the concept of information investigation. This figure had been standing in front of the bridge before. The tall figure and shadow, the stars outside the window blended together, and she didn't even notice that there was a person standing there, and there was no trace of information revealed.
When the giant walked out of the shadow, everyone who had been to the World of Warhammer was surprised.
This person obviously has undergone many physical transformation surgeries. He is strong and tall, with an ancient Greek face with edges like a knife, axe and chisel. Judging from his skin, bones and other details. His identity is a monk Astarte of the 40th thousand-year-old world of Warhammer, which is also the famous Space Marine. But the most developed Warhammer 40k world is the attached world of technology. Su Jing has also gone to the world of trial...
Lu Mengyao was the first to react.
"You are the gray knight who brought back the method of healing the emperor in that world!"
Epicurus, the consul of the Philosopher Kingdom, the former Grey Knight of the Holy Hammer Cultivation Society, nodded indifferently. After hearing the story of the revival of the Emperor of the Warhammer World, everyone will focus their attention on the resurrection of the great man, and the legendary Grey Knight who brought back the strange things in the astral world was buried in the smoke and dust of history, without even a trace left. Most people will imagine that Grey Knight as an ordinary adventurer, perhaps dead in a routine mission, or until today, living in a corner of the multiverse, or returning to the Warhammer World, and serving an important position in the department exploring the multiverse.
No one ever thought that the gray knight advanced silently until he reached the apex of the multiverse. The gods and demons among gods and demons, the eleven-star king of the void.
Lu Mengyao's "observation" is still unsuccessful. There is a small black hole around the gray knight. Any information in the vision cannot be escaped even by light. The magician suspects that what she sees in her eyes now is just an optical illusion.
"What do you want?"
The King of Void spoke directly into the ground, his voice was a little hoarse, and echoes came faintly from the empty bridge.
"The name and power of the King of Void."
"What can you give me?"
"promise."
“What promises?”
"In the world after the gods and demons leave, plane travelers will stand on your side."
“…”
Lu Mengyao gritted her teeth.
"And Chaos Splitman."
"Interesting." Rose chuckled in the shadow of the candlelight, with only a pair of golden eyes shining, "This is the 'borrowing flowers and offering Buddha' in the Eastern proverb. When I confirmed last time, the head of the Chaos Schizophrenic was not you, a little girl. Did they change the new one in a few days?"
Epicurus stretched out his hand, and the big book on Lu Mengyao's waist automatically fell into his hands. The gray knight flipped the pages without saying a word, then closed the book and returned it to Lu Mengyao.
"Go and prove your promise."
The moment the magician touched Dashu's fingers, her body trembled. She quickly stabilized. She hugged Shu and nodded reservedly. Then she left without looking back and returned to the inside of the Tower of Babel through the portal. Sadako Yamamura and Gai Qi didn't even understand what was going on. The two followed her in confusion and found that the magician was opening the big book that she never left. She flipped through several pages in a row.
"How...what happened?"
Lu Mengyao did not immediately answer Sadako Yamamura's question, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
"Epicurus... is harder to deal with than I thought."
"You have only said four or five sentences to him!" The mechanical warlock couldn't understand Lu Mengyao's words.
"If he put a lot of conditions on me, it would be easier to deal with. But he didn't want anything, just asked me to 'prove promise'." The magician raised the big book in his hand, "This is no longer a 'fake volume of void'."
This is the "Book of Void".
"ha?!"
"Art?!"
"It cannot be said to be a magical artifact, because it has become blank." Lu Mengyao bit her lip and flipped the pages. Each page was brand new. "Even a replica of the Book of Void, it can rank at the top of the golden props. Epicurus did not easily grant me his name, but it gave me strength. It was similar to what I expected. As the book was upgraded, his control over me became deeper and deeper... A transaction... This was just his deposit."
"I'm afraid that it's not just Miss Lu, you are the one who receives the deposit." Sadako Yamamura didn't speak much, and then suddenly spoke, "If you want to borrow the name of Mr. Epicurus, then you must also involve the Philosopher Kingdom in this operation, so Mr. Epicurus will not use his incarnation to help us. But 'power' is something that Mr. Epicurus can lend us... From this perspective, Mr. Epicurus may have trained many people like Miss Lu... for..."
"Even if he is about to disappear soon, he wants to keep his control in this multiverse." The magician and Su Jing exchanged information, so he already has an understanding of the past history of the Heavenly Kingdom Game. "In the chaotic times of the Warring States Period when the gods left, all powerful gods and demons wanted to continue the organization that inherited their ideas and maintain the order they established. Epicurus was cultivating a powerful 'guardian', and I was just one of many people."
"Then... how do he make sure. After he leaves, will you still listen to him?" The mechanic asked while gnawing at his nails, "I thought about it carefully. After he leaves..."
"So part of his plan is to control the Chaos Schizophrenic. Cut off the firewood from the cauldron." Lu Mengyao explained concisely, "High-ranking gods and demons usually regard the Chaos Schizophrenic as an elimination mechanism that stimulates the growth of adventurers. However, their power is about to break out in the Warring States Period after Ragnarok. Epicurus is on me... I can feel his importance to me. One reason is that our strength level as a plane traveler team has increased rapidly. Another reason is that my identity as a Chaos Schizophrenic. Epicurus hopes to control through me, or at least interfere with the actions of the Chaos Schizophrenic group."
"Uh, it sounds like it's really feasible. Wait, wouldn't it be enough to summon masters to join the Chaos Schizophrenic and dismantle them from the inside?" The mechanic slapped his forehead.
"I joined the Chaos Schizophrenic when I was a novice. The ritual of joining the society was very complicated and strict. And I was indeed a 'bad guy', in a sense." Lu Mengyao shrugged, "On the other hand, in the war years a year later, the biggest problem was not just the Chaos Schizophrenic. The last time the assassination that involved such a wide range of things made me feel like this. Why did the Chaos Schizophrenic who had always been hidden suddenly planned a large-scale assassination on the eve of the dawn? The atmosphere of conspiracy was too strong."
"Let me guess." The mechanic rubbed his temples and tried to keep up with the magician's thinking. "Well, if you take away the excess elements, such a large-scale action should be... a smoke bomb."
"The answer is right." Lu Mengyao touched Gai Qi's little head encouragedly, "Basically, the following are all my guesses. That is, the "Chaos Schizophrenic" itself is a smoke bomb and a cover. When this organization that should be walking in the shadow is well known, the "Chaos Schizophrenic" is just a symbol, a symbol of evil and chaos, and the real undercurrent flows in broad daylight. This powerful cover attracts everyone's attention and makes us blind to the real disaster."
"What disaster?" Sadako Yamamura and Gaiqi asked at the same time.
"The adventurer society itself." The magician said calmly.
“…Explain it?”
"In fact, this idea was proposed by Su Jing." The magician frowned, "He seemed to be deaf and deaf, but the technology alliance, the philosopher country, the sacred paradise and the red force... He inquired a lot of news from women, including the inside information of Su Luo, and my information channels, we combined all the information together and found a very interesting phenomenon."
"What phenomenon?"
"There are a considerable number of adventurers looking forward to social change and subversion. In terms of normal social research, those who hold this idea are usually the bottom of society. However, we conducted a period of investigation, and Su Jing even asked Twilight Shine to check the information of the very unpopular strategic intelligence department of the Technology Union. What surprised us was that adventurers with this idea were spread all over all classes, from the black iron level to the gold level. The longer the adventurer group survived, the larger the proportion. The peaceful adventurer society on the surface was already in a turbulent tide. People who really wanted to subvert the world were spread among the core groups of top groups."
Sadako Yamamura and Gai Qi looked a little dazed when they heard it.
"Su Jing believes that this may be related to the strange distribution of social classes in the adventurer world." The magician lit a cigarette. "The gap between the black iron level and the silver level, the gap between the silver level and the gold level, are not as big as the gap between the gods and demons and ordinary adventurers. In the end, there are only two classes in this world - adventurers and demons. The uneven distribution of power brings the solidification of the class. There have been no new gods and demons for more than ten years. The order established by the strong men of the previous generation who lived to this day a hundred years ago is already old enough. After they left, there will be no major groups now at the peak of their lives."
"That……"
"They have been deploying for a long time." Lu Mengyao said lightly, "The top-level group has long been in name only, and every adventurer under the command of gods and demons is cultivating his own new group. In the unstable future, the 'group' will have a new definition, and Epicurus wants to transfer his control to the new group of the next generation. This is also what Su Jing and I, as well as all the strong people who have the determination to gallop around the world, should do." (To be continued...)
