Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 458: Use this to test cadres?

After arriving in Godro City this time, Heine learned an interesting current situation from Ciara -

The attitude of the Nice people in Godro towards McCara is gradually improving.

But neither she nor Meno promoted it locally. All the recent discussions about McCala were caused by Dylan, followed by the news coming from Hegland City.

Logically speaking, for a place like McCalla that has long been regarded as "countryside", Dylan would only be considered "one of the few decent people among the country bumpkins". McCalla would not become a "master per capita" just because a soul master like him appeared.

Then when the news came that the two undead had turned the city of Helgeland upside down, the locals should have criticized it loudly, saying "This is the result of rashly letting in the country bumpkins", and the government agencies and people in Helgeland City mocked together, and then prepared to laugh at Gittier's joke.

However, the reality is just the opposite.

The locals thought that "since McCalla could produce a Dylan, then perhaps there would be more 'Dylans'", and began to wonder whether their views on McCalla were biased.

They even think that since Dylan's speech in Godro City was normal, but the same content caused controversy in Helgeland City, does this mean that the problem lies with the local people in Helgeland City?
In general, they seemed no longer bound by the will of the Shadow and began to put aside their positions and discuss the matter at hand.

This kind of rational speculation is extremely rare in the North, or outside of Macalla.

Most people have two completely opposite sets of standards. They evaluate people who agree with their own views with infinite tolerance, and then speculate on the unknown, especially the affairs of other camps, with the greatest malice.

On the one hand, this is a protection of a sense of belonging under high pressure. On the other hand, it is also the only option in a harsh environment that will not make oneself a laughing stock. In other words, it is a protection of oneself and a manifestation of lack of security.

Therefore, the local residents of Godro City suddenly felt more secure and rational.

Heine and Ciara speculated that there were two reasons for this.

One is that it is too close to McCalla.

Even though Heine restricted the expansion of the other world, the highly active spirits inevitably affected this place.

Fortunately, the local servant is Xiara. Unlike other servants, she does not have the shadow will integrated into her soul and is highly sensitive to the invasion of the elemental spirit.

In addition, Mackala's soul is no longer as aggressive as before, which will cause dissatisfaction among local extraordinary people above level five.

——Although there are not many level 5 summoners in the area.

So she didn't report the matter to her superiors, and the locals didn't have any objections.

The second and most important reason.

The servant of Godro City is Siara.

To date, Heine has roughly pieced together the main storyline of "AGE" from players.

Overall, this is a story of "every family is in chaos and the wizard reaps the rewards".

It can be said that ever since Macala, the last place of hope, was devastated by the "Holy Light Railgun", the situation in this world has been deteriorating.

The arrival of the void disaster is a concentrated outbreak of chronic toxins, and what follows seems to be "surviving the disaster and repairing the magic network", but in fact it is more like giving up treatment and allowing the disease to spread.

The Eternal Dawn split, the Shadow Temple was in chaos, the dwarves were unable to take care of themselves, and the elves were swept by the Blight.

As for the Zanluo Plateau, it had become a pile of dry bones, at the mercy of others, as early as when the Zanluo people destroyed the magic network.

Next, the wizard led the players, a group of powerful killers, to eliminate the necrotic parts one by one, and integrated the forces to march towards the underworld, which seemed to be the "source of all evil."

As for the outcome...it's still unknown.

However, according to Heine's guess, it is likely to come to nothing.

Because other than the McCalla of today, he couldn't think of any real way to "heal" the world.

Since the last hope was extinguished in the original plot, and this group of players have never seen Mackalla in this state, it means that the place so-called "saved" by the Veritas people is just like that. It has only changed from a dying struggle to a half-dead state. The only ones who are truly active are the players.

In other words, in the original plot of "AGE", the destruction of the world was destined early on.

The "death" of the Shadow Temple and this group of Shadow believers was marked by a landmark event.

This is what players call "bad women turning bad."

Come to think of it, the will integrated into the shadow is like an invisible network, connecting everyone and ultimately converging on God's spokesperson like Nikis.

But when "everyone" becomes uneasy, anxious, sensitive, and fragile because of external factors, and then loses faith in the gods and the temple, what kind of emotion should Nice, as their group portrait, fall into?
Moreover, her emotions would most likely affect "everyone" in the opposite direction, thus accelerating the overall collapse. As Wei Dian Yuan said, when she tried to use all means to turn the tables like a desperate gambler, the Rift Technique was naturally weakened.

Because the probability of strange beasts' rebellion cannot be increased out of thin air, especially when the paralyzed magic network has been repaired by the wizard.

There must be a loophole in the controller's heart that gave the omnipresent beast an opportunity.

So, when a member of the poetry society like Ciara, who had no shadow will integrated into her soul, became a servant and became the spiritual totem of Godro City for a long time, her influence on the latter gradually became apparent.

When these inferences are confirmed, combined with Heine's own speculation, it is not difficult to infer that Nikis's current changes are in a positive direction.

At least on the positive side for McCalla.

As a result, Heine felt more confident about this trip.

...

I don’t know whether Dahuang’s invisibility was effective or his reputation was not in vain, but the floating city went straight all the way without any obstruction.

However, the closer he got to Niggolaiser, the harder it was for Heine's perception to stray too far from his body.

In his perception, the large floating city that looked like a small town was like a dazzling sun, burning with dark purple flames, and any perception approaching it would be completely annihilated.

The floating city landed on the helipad of the Saint-Cités foreign guest reception area, and Andre had been waiting there with his men.

"I didn't expect you to come in person."

Andre gave him a somewhat helpless hug.

"I didn't want to come either, but I heard that you detained my people." Heine said with a smile.

Andre looked a little embarrassed: "You should have learned the whole story from them, right?"

"I understand some of it, but it's far from the whole picture. I need to at least hear it from you guys, right?"

Andre was puzzled: "Are you worried that they are lying?"

Heine: "How could that be? It's just that a person's perspective is always biased. Having more perspectives will make it more comprehensive."

——How can players not lie? In their mouths, as long as there is 1% truth, even if the remaining 99% is exaggeration, it is still the truth.

"Your rationality is admirable."

Andre exclaimed, and then joked: "Come on, there haven't been any 'foreign guests' here for at least thirty years, you are the first one."

Heine followed him with two skeletons, looking around at the brick-red buildings.

This is the standard Nice style, with rough lines, like a cold wind blowing across the vast land, majestic and whistling coldly.

But its interior decoration is very different from Andre's manor in Yati Town. It is not luxurious at all, and even too simple.

"This is a building from more than 600 years ago. It has been renovated several times. As you can see, the style was very simple at that time," Andre explained.

"I understand. I understand." Heine nodded.

...

Da Huang: "This is my first time in a cadre guesthouse. Isn't this too plain? Do they use this to test the cadres?"

Wei Dianyuan: "It's enough to be able to live here. Why do you ask for so much? Didn't someone say that this is an antique from more than 600 years ago? Why do you still want to buy a house here?"

Da Huang: "How could that be? If you want to buy a house, you must go to Veritas. At the very least, you should go to Cangkong City. Who would settle down here? No, aren't you from Beijing? You didn't buy a house either? Do you always stay in hotels in the game?"

Wei Dianyuan: "Stay in a hotel, you'll give me money? The first skill we learn when we come to Beijing is camping. My home is in the ruins, anyone who stays in a hotel is an idiot. I've lived in a tent for the first half of my life. If I get up in the middle of the night in real life, I'd want to use my senses to check if there's an ambush around."

Da Huang: "Just be content. When I go south to work in a factory, I'll have to live next to horse manure for the first half of my life."

For some reason, listening to them discussing this, Heine suddenly felt that the environment before him was like heaven.
