My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1314 1312. Brother, your set has long been out of date

Today, Scarlet Castle is still busy and vibrant, but compared to the past, this already prosperous city lacks a different kind of "hustle and bustle".

The reason is probably that except for the administrative players and manufacturing players, most of the foreigners are now in the Dajiao Province, which is very far away from here, to eliminate evil. Since the end of the Black Disaster, the player army has been fighting outside for several months.

From the Genoa Peninsula to the Land of Origin, to the Forest Kingdom and finally to the Mermaid Province, there have been endless game events of all sizes. In addition, there are already many optional birthplaces for players, which has made Scarlet Castle, the "Novice Village No. 001", quiet.

Without the players who are always laughing and joking, the old residents of Scarlet Castle always feel that something is missing. For example, the warehouse at home has not been cleaned for a long time. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find "kind people" who are willing to help residents clean the house for free at this time of year.

However, the departure of players is not all bad.

For the managers of this city and even Transia, they no longer have to spend more time dealing with various strange events related to players.

At least that's the case for Scarlet Archon Lady Miriam.

As the workday was about to end, Miriam comfortably made herself a cup of tea in her office on the top floor of the administrative building, stood by the window, looked out at the city, and took a break while waiting for the bell to ring.

As Transia's civil service system has been established, she has long gotten rid of the tragic days when she worked so much overtime that her hair became thin.

Miriam now has a very luxurious think tank to help her deal with the affairs of the territory. They are all top students carefully selected from the Administrative College of Shardo University by Ms. Funa, the diplomatic ambassador of Transcia to Shardo Port. After passing the administrative assessment of Transcia, they were awarded the title and title of Administrative Knight and officially participated in the management of the territory. There are many such people in the entire civil service system, and they are a rising political force.

Especially as the cooperation between Porto Chardo and Transia deepens, coming to the rapidly developing Transia to seek a future has become the most popular choice for graduates of Chardo University of Craftsmen.

This place, once regarded as "poor and barren", is developing at a speed beyond common sense, and in the process of this development, there are naturally countless opportunities available to talented people. As long as you dare to take risks and work hard, you will definitely find a career that you can fight for your whole life in Transia, the "land of dreams".

The atmosphere in this place is also changing rapidly. Just like the most popular song in Transia right now, life is like the tide, with ups and downs that are unpredictable, and only those who work hard can win.

Ok.

As a member of the development team's dog planner, Miriam certainly knew that Transia's rapid development was based on large-scale "borrowing" from the development routes of its allies from other worlds. Even Transia's current heavy industrial zones and the railway and highway construction plans as government projects were all formulated with the help of allies from other worlds.

This was no secret among Miriam's administrative team, especially since Transia's management did include administrative experts from other worlds.

The locals are barbaric but pragmatic, with a hint of simplicity in their rudeness. They may not be well educated but they are not stupid. After the development achievements of the past year and the war experience full of martial virtues, the locals absolutely support all the orders of Governor Miriam.

This trust even reached a level of "blind obedience", making Miriam the most supported governor in Transia's history.

This is probably because in the past hundreds of years of history of this land, there has never been a good era like the present one where people are truly treated as human beings.

But for the still young consul, all this is just the beginning.

In her opinion, the prosperous urban area praised by the locals was not as good as an 18th-tier small county town in another world, and the industrial area that was talked about as a miracle had just emerged from the level of a handicraft workshop. Miriam's various studies and experiences on the Internet and the various theories she heard from foreign experts all told her that Transia had just embarked on this path of development.

Before we can achieve true prosperity, we will have to maintain the current momentum for at least ten to fifteen years.

At this moment, by the window, the Scarlet Archon, who already had the majestic aura of a superior, sipped her tea. She had mixed feelings in her heart, but she was certain that she would definitely see Transia break through the constraints of the current stage of civilization and become the most prosperous place in the world in her lifetime.

Only by truly reaching that future can Miriam die with a smile on her face and enjoy her "second life" as a vampire in a midnight embrace.

Well, things have developed to this point. Even if Miriam is stupid and naive, she would not think that Murphy and Tris would allow her to enter the world of death as a human being. Those two damn capitalists will definitely take her into the eternal night and let her watch over this place created by her own hands forever.

"Your Excellency Archon! Latest news!"

With only ten minutes left before the end of the get off work day, Miriam turned back helplessly and saw her secretary walking towards her quickly with a document in her hand.

Oh, damn it!

I had planned to attend the literary salon organized by Miss Femis tonight. It was said that the internal editing version of the movie "Three Days Miracle: The Maginot War" which was personally organized and filmed by the "Transian local pioneer director" Miss Femis would be screened there. Now it seems I have to miss the appointment.

"What happened?"

Miriam put down her teacup and asked, and the secretary immediately replied:

"A very special kind of 'sleeping sickness' has appeared in Wolfburg and Star Tower Town. According to reports from the local village chief and militia captain, many people have suddenly fallen into an unrecoverable sleep and cannot be awakened. At first, it was only children and the elderly, but now it has shown signs of spreading to adults.

Although the disease only appeared a few hours ago, it spread very quickly and has even affected Silvermoon City in Dark Valley and the surrounding areas of the Maginot Line.

General Kuder requested that soldiers be sent to the scene to impose martial law, and that psionicists from the Midnight Faction be sent there to investigate the problem.

In addition, we believe that if the situation cannot be contained, then there is a high probability that Scarlet Castle will be affected."

"Is it that serious?"

Miriam frowned. She took the document and looked at it for a few seconds. Suddenly, she felt a strong sense of disobedience.

With that strange feeling, I looked up at the wall clock again. The hour and minute hands were ticking in an orderly manner. It was only five minutes left before the end of get off work.

"Your Excellency, Archon? Are you okay?"

The secretary asked with concern:
"You look terrible, do you need a rest?"

"Nothing, I just..."

Miriam shook her head and was about to answer when her eyes fell on her secretary.

The latter was wearing Transian civil servant uniform, dressed quite decently, with bright eyes on her pretty face, looking full of youthful vitality and without any problems. She looked at him with concern, as if she was really worried about his mental state.

Miriam raised her eyebrows and suddenly asked:
"I'm a little tired. Let's put aside government affairs for now and discuss the Pythagorean theorem."

"what?"

The secretary was stunned. She asked in panic:
"Excuse me, is there anything I did wrong? Your Excellency, I..."

"Carry it on your back!"

Miriam interrupted the latter's explanation, put her hand on the ceremonial sword at her waist, and said:
"This is the most basic of the math questions in the civil servant assessment. Don't tell me you don't know how to do it?"

"Of course I will!"

The secretary's face flushed with shame and anger. She emphasized:
"It's just that your question came too suddenly. As for the Pythagorean theorem, I'm sure I know it. Well, how about you give me a start? I'm suddenly a little confused..."

"puff"

The Archon's ceremonial sword was drawn.

Although Miriam is not a professional fighter, she is still an important figure who has followed Murphy to success. In addition to her busy work, she is ordered by Trish to learn some self-defense skills. She thrust her sword forward accurately and quickly, piercing the opponent's heart amid the secretary's screams.

But no blood flowed out. On the contrary, the expression on the secretary's panicked face quickly turned into a trace of regret and gloom. She stared at Miriam with a crazy expression that a living person would never make, and her voice turned into an extremely gloomy threat: "This is the twenty-third time! As expected of a core figure under Murphy, your mental firmness far exceeds that of your compatriots, and your acumen also opened my eyes. However, how long can you hold on?

Every time you get lost you are one step closer to the nightmare realm. Reality is slipping away from you. I can lose many times, sir, but you only need to lose once, and the great Scarlet Archon will become the Nightmare Archon.

Woohoo!
I like your city very much. It reminds me of the damn Eden District. I once wanted to destroy it, but unfortunately, the idiots in Eden District suffered the consequences of their own actions. But it doesn't matter!
I shall rejoice as long as the Scarlet Keep burns.

Come on, Miriam!

Come and continue your test of will in the nightmare."

"Snapped"

Everything around her shattered under Miriam's calm gaze, as if the world had collapsed and revealed its original appearance.

She was no longer in her office. Outside the corridor window was a pitch-black night. All the light was absorbed by the roaring thing in the darkness. In the pitch-black darkness, another invisible force was roaring and surging.

In every dream of every living being, in every sob of fear, in every wounded mind.

A nightmare web was spreading, struggling to drag the Scarlet Castle from the material world into the realm of nightmares. Miriam, with a haggard face and cold limbs, stood up from her hiding place. She glanced at the Hammer Guard who had run out of bullets at her feet, then panted and took out a pack of burning gold bullets from her pocket and stuffed them into the gun chamber.

This is the first floor lobby of the administrative building.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

In the constant fights with the Nightmare Tyrant, Miriam relied on herself to move from the office on the top floor to here, and if she continued to rush forward, she would be able to break through the building.

However, the entire administrative building was dead silent, as if there was no one else except Miriam.

Although she is not a psychic, Miriam has seen and seen it all. She guessed that every area of ​​the building has been divided and everyone is trapped in different dreams in order to paralyze the command core of the Scarlet Castle.

This is the first stop for the Nightmare Tyrant and the Dark Lord's raid on Scarlet Castle, and it is also the area where the two Old Gods attack together.

With their power, they could have easily reduced the city to dust. The only reason they had to use that damn dream seduction was because the Scarlet Castle had unlocked the city’s “hidden force” the moment it was attacked.

In the darkness that swallowed up all light, a thick energy matrix protected the entire city in a fully covering manner, enclosing the Scarlet Castle like a half-closed eggshell, while the light of creation it emitted continuously annihilated the energy of the Lord of Darkness's light-devouring power on the periphery.

Perhaps Queen Friel, who was far away in the Land of Origin, had not expected that the city defense matrix system she had given as a gift would actually protect the Scarlet Castle and all its residents from this unexpected disaster. The energy sharing with the Swamp Forbidden Area allowed the city defense system to withstand the ravages of the Lord of Darkness for a long time.

However, this thing can only resist the destruction of physical energy, and has little resistance to conceptual dream forces like the Nightmare Tyrant.

If Miriam doesn't think of a solution, the whole city might be dragged into a nightmare while remaining intact. Baphomet obviously knows the terrible consequences of letting Miriam, the Scarlet Archon, run around, so that guy is unsportsmanlike and actually uses the level of an old god to personally seduce Miriam.

Unfortunately, it did not expect that some of the seemingly serious Scarlet Archons were actually hiding the identity of a dog planner under their high-ranking positions.

As a soul who has been surfing the Internet intensively for a long time, Miriam sees that the outdated "killing in dreams" method of the Nightmare Tyrant is full of flaws. You are an old god after all. When shaping the dream within the dream, could you please pay more attention and not come up with so many shoddy details?
It's just like visiting a cheap haunted house. Not to mention whether it can scare people, just those pathetic "stupid suits" are enough to make people want to laugh. There is really no deterrent effect at all!
If you came up with an Inception, I might be scared.

But complaints are complaints.

Miriam herself knew that in the previous twenty-three encounters, Baphomet's handling of nightmare details had become increasingly better. If this continued, she would sooner or later be dragged into the nightmare world by it.

"The last section of the road, there will be a way if we rush out."

The consul encouraged himself and rushed out of his hiding place with a gun in hand.

Two black mud-like nightmare entities rushed out from all directions and tried to block her, but they were blown up one by one by her shots. The fire from the burning golden bullets fired could barely bring a little precious light in this dark place, but it was also fleeting.

Miriam felt her body getting colder and colder, and she knew that this was a sign of her life force being lost.

I have to speed up.

"Milliam! Is that you? I heard gunshots, stand still! We'll be here to pick you up!"

The eldest lady's voice sounded from the front, but the consul did not feel happy. Instead, he immediately pointed the gun at the direction where the voice came from. In the twenty-three times of temptation just now, she had been deceived by this trick many times.

The most dangerous time was when he was almost taken away by "Fraser".

"Stop!"

As the blood light flickered in the darkness, Miriam screamed:

"Stop there! Or I'll shoot."

The other party immediately did as he was told, and then asked as if in a secret code:
"Palace Yuye Liquor?"

“One hundred and eighty per cup.”

Miriam was relieved when she heard this question, but she still didn't dare to relax and asked again:
"Where is the Heart of the Ocean that Jack gave to Rose?"

"It was thrown into the sea by the old lady. What a pity."

The young lady replied with regret, took a few steps forward, and asked the last question:
"Explain Fermat's Last Theorem."

"I don't understand. I can't."

Miriam cursed angrily:
"I think you're just looking for trouble. How's the situation outside? Is everything okay in the city?"

“It’s OK. Madam Tris returned just in time and brought the Star Nomads from Cadman City to take over the law and order. Those guys were alienated in the Star Realm. The Nightmare Tyrant has never seen such creatures, so it’s difficult for him to effectively erode their dreams.

And the Nightmare Tyrant's abilities are really weak.

It can't simulate something it hasn't seen in a dream, so it only needs to use the knowledge of the other world to communicate, and it can almost immediately distinguish who is real and who is fake! If your building was not covered too ridiculously by the power of the two old gods, I think you can run out by yourself. "

Femis flew over and supported the breathless Miriam, and helped her walk out of the building, saying:

"Your administrative staff is not in big trouble either. The administrative players working in the building immediately saved themselves after being dragged into the dream. The outdated methods of the Nightmare Tyrant are just like playing house in their eyes.

The dump trucks and semi-trailers brought most of the people out.

They set up a temporary command center at the city defense force's side, and also had super WIFI personally supported by Ms. Rose.

Now communications have been restored in most parts of Transia, but the situation in the Filthy Swamp is very serious. It is said that a small half of Wolfburg has been dragged into the dream, and Nash is calling for help like crazy.

The good news is that Lord Murphy is on his way back.

He also brought back a divine weapon of light that specifically restrains the Lord of Darkness. You hold on, that idiot is dead!"
