Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver
Chapter 52
Stretching my limbs as flat as possible on the ground, I put my arms over my face. There was a vague nagging in my ears, and it sounded like my mother last night. She said that if she sleeps in this extremely ugly sleeping position, her eyes will stand out and look like a toad when she grows up. However, I especially loved doing this. When I was drowsy, I felt that there were several more hands beside me. Some were stroking my messy hair, some were pushing me, and some were snapping their fingers in my ears. Suddenly I was startled and found that I had kept my eyes open, staring at a dark mountain of rocks not far away. A long time had passed without my noticing. Although the sleep is short, it is very satisfying
"Why are you lying in this damn place?"The overlapping figures in front of me gradually shrank, and I gradually identified a few faces dripping with oil and sweat. A woman wearing a low-cut leather outfit looked at me uneasily and asked:"Hey, can you hear us?"
"Dixie? I rubbed my face, looked at her blankly, and asked,"Where am I?" What just happened?"
"This question should be answered by you and us"Sha also had the same unkempt appearance. She drank from Caddy, stepped forward to pluck my eyelids, and said to herself:"My eyes are unfocused and I am confused. She may have suffered a concussion from being hit by something.""
"A few days ago, he was hit on the head by a falling iron lamp in the tunnel. At that time, he was diagnosed with a mild concussion. Another round face also came up, and the rabbit asked:"Who attacked you?" In other words, what else can you think of?"
"This, this is what she did, and I remember that it was not here before, but in another steep cave." I took Xia Mian and drank a few sips. After I calmed down, I started to scan this strange place, and my heart was full of thoughts. Confused, he said:"I remember, that was Krys, and she and I were in another cave. During this period, she knocked her unconscious and stole her many times, which made her very incoherent."
"This is really ironic." After hearing this, Sister Di pursed her lips and laughed:"Isn't this kind of soul-transmitting thing your specialty? Why was he defeated by someone else? What about the Krys people? Where is she now?"
"This is not funny at all. The bird of prey is a human being, and it is also a carrier. Being nestled in a nest is like being raped. It is very painful." Rabbit stretched out his hand towards me and said:"Don't rush to remember it, it is not only useless but also counterproductive. , wait until you are completely awake before talking about it"
"I thought so too. Half of my face was burning with pain, and I felt nauseated just thinking about it. How are you doing?"
I was helped out of the corner by three people, and Rosa was describing excitedly along the way. In fact, this place is deep in the cave behind the Peacock Pond. The two groups of people have not yet fully met, and they are searching around for the lone person. I accidentally found me in this patch of rocks.
At one time, the work gang was in extremely dangerous situation. The widows trapped a large number of incoming Yinshou, and everyone was waiting to go around the bend, but unexpectedly many more came out from behind the rocks. , the crowd was blocked by them in the middle of the narrow isthmus, and was caught off guard and fell into chaos. This period may be the first time that I was possessed by Krys. She took advantage of the situation and set a fire while running, destroying some of the mummies in the north niche. Thus resolving the predicament. Even so, there were still two who rushed straight up, knocking down a large group of people along the way. After that, they collected the remaining soldiers, advanced and retreated in the corridor, and finally burned all the mummies in the Peacock Pond. A few people were separated in the chaos.
After receiving my message, the main force of the rabbits also began to actively adjust their strategies. Soul Scythe knew the principles of the Moldovan Ground Thorn Formation, and combined it by himself to create a set of monsters that resembled a virtual copper wall. How to deal with it. How to do it specifically? The method is very simple.
The first step: First, the boxing champion shoots the bird of prey to release the psychedelic mist. Eubisio takes the opportunity to set up seven moon-sleeping mirror prisms in the third ancient pool. , and then led a small group of people to hide under the bone peptide red armor and wait for the opportunity; the second step: when the Yin Zhou recovered and began to attack the virtual image, the remaining rams and children of the world were wallflowers with iron makeup under various Qi eye cloths. , throwing bubbles and setting fires, luring these plague gods further and further away; the third step: After Yinzhou fell into a severely distorted terrain and could no longer threaten others, it would naturally transition to the stage of unilateral massacre, and everyone would soon return They circled around the ancient pond, and with the sound of the Soul Scythe, they easily burned out nearly a hundred mummies.
Even if there were still remains of the Yinshu in the isthmus, they did not pose any danger overall. At least, people had almost controlled the overall situation, and from then on The total length of nearly 1,200 meters from the Cosita Stone Plate to the amber giant crystal can basically be called a safe area. So the next thing to do is to clean up the debris, penetrate the barrier, and go behind the closed mountain road to get a closer look..
In front of me, there are scattered people walking in front of me, some supporting each other and stumbling while walking; some are lost and have not recovered from the shock; some are squatting in the corner and vomiting, everyone is silent, everyone is We walked slowly in the same direction.
Sister Di and Rosa helped me blend in with the crowd, while Rabbit simply stopped in place and kept talking on the walkie-talkie. Eubisio believes that before breaking into a confined space, you must first Let’s have a meeting. He heard about my situation and was stopping in the stone gorge corridor, wanting to know the whereabouts of Miss Cosita. If the judgment is correct, the purpose of the person who lives in her is also to seize the snake embryo.
The road ahead The wider I walked, the brighter the cave became. When I walked through the last side passage of the isthmus, I was so blinded by the light that I couldn't open my eyes. I had to block it with my hands, and tears rolled down my face. When I got used to it, I looked around. All around, this area has become a field hospital, with more than half of the people lying down, moaning, and those who are lost. There are no more than ten people who can still stand normally. It is true that work makes people weak. , but the Dark World troops were not much better. Only Luna was left among the five widows, and the others were sent out of the isthmus. Rabbit said that the military doctor called and asked if the medical staff could come in and take away the wounded. As a result, before Eubisio opened his mouth, the work gang strongly opposed it and said that he could not get out of the line of fire even though he was slightly injured, and he must carry out the revolution to the end.
Everyone knows the risks involved in letting healthcare workers in. As long as they enter the stone gorge, they will know about the treasure cave through various clues, and when they leave, the secret will inevitably be made public. By then, the townspeople who keep coming to pick peaches, as well as the police officers at the scene, Everyone will fish in troubled waters. The work gang pays the price of blood in order to obtain profits, but it will be in vain.
"Everyone, I am very grateful for everything you have done, and I understand everyone’s thoughts. But in my personal opinion, it would be better to go back to the tunnel for treatment."Hun Sickle cleared his throat and saw that people gradually stopped making noise, and said:"It took two hours just to deal with the corpses and corpses, but the real evil star is still hiding behind the stubborn rocks. This is the big disaster."
Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you. I quickly heard the implication, and then I woke up and started yelling. I was probably yelling at you not to go too far. Are you going to use someone as a spittoon and kick them away after using them? This is not allowed. Accept it, everyone will never quit easily before getting the raw diamond. As for Agai and Wenweiannan, they said that all the shooting records are under their control. If they are forced to evict them, they will be happy to expose these things. Go out. It was a good seminar, but it turned into a spoils-sharing conference. I looked at the grinning faces, the blushing necks and the vigorous quarrel, but I didn’t even think about participating.
However, Yubixi Ozao expected this and seemed calm and composed. He stood in front of the crowd and lit a cigarette leisurely with a smile on his face. He said that since people have emotions, why not let them talk about it? Everyone has the right to vent. This I'm used to using superficial skills. In the past, he had dealt with the turbulent elites of the dark world like this, but now they were replaced by secular people, and they were also very eloquent and quick-thinking TV personnel. I sat next to Sister Di Next, let's see how he wants to settle it
"How can this drive you away? Everything is for safety. There are so many injured people, and even walking is difficult. How can we lead the team forward? He stretched out his hand to signal for silence, lit the weed, and said with a smile:"From the beginning to the end, we never thought about gems." This is a bonus, I have promised it again and again. But how to seize it is a matter of knowledge. Let me tell you something first."
Sure enough, when the noise subsided, he started telling stories vividly, and this story turned out to be a record of the first Fablino Holy War. Now that the work gang knew the dark world, he didn't care to talk more.. The lingering Luna whispered that she knew what Soul Scythe wanted to express, and it would not touch their deep secrets.
Since we want to revisit the past, we naturally have to start from the beginning. The Dark World originated in the late Middle Ages, and it was a characteristic of that era. It is a chess game between religious power and royal power. A kingdom is roughly divided into three classes. The lowest class is farmers and commoners, and the class above them is nobility. Most of the nobility are feudal lords, land taxes and children The people only belong to the lord himself, and countless lords make up a country. The highest level is the king, and he is the soul of the entire aristocratic class. He is equivalent to the CEO of a company. His territory is not necessarily the largest, but he is a powerful king. It can support or destroy a noble, and the weak king is controlled by the lord. Therefore, the relationship between the two is both superior and subordinate, but also checks each other, and sometimes they even go to war with each other. The one who often competes with the king is the pope. The two powers are interdependent and restrictive of each other. During the long Middle Ages, the two powers were ebbing and flowing. The king emphasized the divine right of kings. He enjoyed the power of secular rule and the power of appointing and dismissing bishops. The pope considered him to be the spokesperson of the secular world. , all appointments and removals of bishops should be subject to the arrangements of the Holy See. Therefore, fierce conflicts will always break out between the two. The pope often takes advantage of the deepening domestic conflicts in other countries to win over the nobility and common people, excommunicate the king, and win in one fell swoop.
As the bottom, the Pope often The public has many options, and they can choose among them, and they can rely on whoever can benefit them more. Similarly, the pope, king, and lords often take advantage of this to maximize their political interests.
And the dark world They were a group of fringe pagans and foot traffickers. They were not favored by the king and nobles, and were denounced as heresies by the Pope. They were also unpopular among the people, so they didn't even have a piece of land. They could only act like the early Christians. Establish an underground dojo.
But just over a hundred years later, several events happened one after another, allowing the disciples of the dark world to find a place to establish themselves. The first thing was the Crusades, heading to the fertile crescent of honey and milk. After the feudal lords witnessed the wealth and prosperity in the Near East, some people began to think about making a fortune, organizing freight to be sent back to their home countries for trade, and making huge profits from it. Soon after, they felt that the cost was too high, so workshops appeared to sell captured animals Craftsmen moved back to old Europe. With the rapid development of all walks of life, trade unions or guilds were formed one after another. The disciples of the dark world also had room for development, and then began to extract capital and gradually gained social status. And those who lived a poor life and had a boring vision At the same time, the public was also shocked by the large influx of novelty gadgets. People could not help but marvel that thousands of years ago, life at that time was more luxurious and fascinating, and they gradually began to dislike the unchanging religion, from the spiritual point of view. The field transitioned to material enjoyment, so a large number of ancient Roman and Greek cultural relics buried deep in the ground were unearthed and became furnishings for wealthy people. This is the origin of the Renaissance and its founders, the Medici family.
Under this social structure, the dark world has made great progress, because many of them believe in polytheism and are tireless in pursuing ancient treasures and precious manuscripts. They were invited by Cosimo Medici as a guest, and Fei Leng Cui thus became the first generation capital of the dark world. Demons are good at swaggering through the market, often pretending to be magic, sleight of hand, and all kinds of nightmares, and gradually stabilized their power in Italy. After early integration, large numbers of close people were expelledThe ultra-secret sects also came to Europe to seek refuge, and reintegration occurred, eventually forming a force with strong capital.
These people are very smart. While expanding their territory, they also actively participate in secular activities. They even flatter the pope and lords and donate valuables to win support from all aspects. Sometimes they even do some dirty work for them, seek cooperation, and gain political support. Make an alliance. After the decline of the Medici family, they chose the Protestant country of England and crossed the ocean to establish a second capital.
About seven hundred years ago, due to different ideas in the dark world, a situation emerged where the Three Saints co-governed. Different factions each supported their own king, and bloody battles broke out one after another. During this period, many of the current organizations came to the fore. This internal struggle is known as the First Fablino Holy War in history. It was through it that Zhan Xing came to power and eventually became the only Holy King who commanded the world.
Fablino means the Supreme Sword in Silk Language, so this war is also called the Battle of the King. Originally, after the two fake queens were eradicated, the war could be quickly calmed down, but unexpectedly, it got out of control and continued for another seven years, causing a large number of lives and huge losses. The cause of this catastrophe was the expansion of human greed and disorder. Therefore, after the war, the Dark World formulated a set of extremely strict rules, including the leader system, hundreds of contract sects, and the White Wolf Arbitration Court. If someone violates it, the whole world will punish it. This is their purpose in everything. Even if they rebel against each other and fight against each other, they dare not openly violate the contract.
So, what caused this man-made disaster? That is the uneven distribution of spoils. When the false king's territory was captured and the national treasure was obtained, all participants thought that their hard work was highly meritorious and refused to give in to each other, so the battle flag that had just been lowered fluttered again, the armor that had been taken off was put on again, and the blood of countless elite men and women The battlefield is stained, and corpses are everywhere. The roe deer wait for the opportunity to grow stronger, and finally win the crown in the wasteland
"This matter has become a big deal. The minimum I can do is not to kill anyone. Do you understand?" Soul Sickle said this, his tone increased, and he said:"It doesn't matter if you are injured, as long as you can get timely treatment, you can afford the loss. Since we are all adults, I will keep the story short. As long as any one of us dies, the outside world will immediately intervene in the investigation, and the secret of the natural treasure cave will be revealed to the world. Is this what you want? Anyway, I don't want to see things develop like this."
"We all know these truths even if you don’t tell them, but how do we convince the public and make them leave willingly? I have no confidence at all. Rosa put her hands behind her back, winked at Sister Di, and said,"And my concerns are also the concerns of Dixie and the others." Everyone on our cable TV station was injured, and we tried our best to do this little thing like this for you. It can be said that we put all our heart and soul into it. The reason why there are so many different opinions and it is difficult to reconcile each other is because we don’t want to end up drawing water from a bamboo basket and reap all the benefits."
When Sister Di saw Uncle Huzi and others looking at her, she nodded silently. She would not give in when it came to fighting for her own interests. After thinking for a moment, she said:"The people on Channel 9 are similar to us. There is no such thing here. Careers will suddenly appear. In fact, at the end of the day, people still have to return to work eventually, and they don't want to become millionaires by making a lot of money. This is what they mean. Unless you can find a way that all of us, who look like a temporary band of robbers, can agree."
"I understand that although we work together, we are actually strangers. Dixie's description is very appropriate, like a temporarily organized robber. How to judge whether you will eventually kill me? Or how do you protect my interests from being damaged? There is a lack of trust between each other, or it is difficult to establish integrity, and if these are always said, people will become very depressed. By the way, do you want to go to the amber giant crystal to see it in person, so that you can get an idea? Rabbit squeezed in, raised his hand to everyone, and said with a smile:"Come on, come with me to see how many rough diamonds there are, and then sit down and talk in detail later.""
