Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 484 We Really Can’t Trust You
With the successful completion of the first day of competition, all the spectators at the Macalla Games received a notice that the "Eagle Mountain Dungeon" was open to the public.

Anyone who is a citizen of Macara can form a team of 1 to 10 people.

After paying a certain number of contribution points, you can enter the dungeon battle like these players.

There are also two signs at the entrance of the copy, which show the real-time results of the teams with public records, as well as the best results of the "professional group" and "non-professional group".

At present, all teams of extraordinary people who are not from the military are considered non-professional groups.

If the team chooses to make the battle process public, the audience can also watch the battle on demand like watching a game, but a certain ticket fee will be charged.

There is a settlement every month, and the copy profits will also be counted at that time.

Subsequently, the top ten teams on the list will equally split the “broadcast revenue share”.

This undoubtedly encouraged the Macara people to join the battle.

While people were digesting this sudden "version update", the next game arrived as scheduled.

With the sample from the first round of competition, the next step is to follow suit.

"The Withered Scar" was divided into three small copies, namely the flower, insect and beast disaster areas. It took a total of two days to fight, and finally faced Quelkus.

Of course, the final part also depends on the plot.

After all, even if the player takes part in the game personally, in the end, Heine will have to go through the story alone.

As for the battle with the Hades guard Southgate, it was temporarily hidden.

Unlike "Eagle Mountain Instance", there is not too much plot this time. The process from beginning to end is thrilling and exciting, which makes people's blood boil.

Originally, this session was a good opportunity for Magb agents to score points, after all, their previous special training was conducted in the Scar of Withering.

But who would have thought that this time the warriors from Ebony Town would take the lead again.

And this time they didn't use any dirty tricks, their main focus was just a smooth push.

No-brainer push!

This is also related to the "equipment" of the Macara warriors at this time.

Unlike the warriors at that time who only had the three-piece energy set (channel, shelter, and attachment), the Macara warriors at this time were armed to the teeth!
Things like "shield generator", "web technique", "sensory lock", "stealth", and "soul collector (toilet plunger)" are all available!

As for a Holy Light warrior like Aigis White, he actually has the ability to fly on top of the Holy Light spells he has mastered!
That’s a flying skill worth 200 contribution points!

Adding to the three-piece energy set he already had, his set of Yuanling plug-ins alone is worth almost 1000 contribution points.

Although other warriors' amounts are not so exaggerated, they still have four or five hundred contribution points. Are all the warriors of Macara so rich?

Isn’t this simply a matter of “paying for the game”?

Facing everyone's doubts, Zhuoyang's answer was very simple:
"Brother Warrior does have an allowance, because he was on a business trip to the Zanluo Plateau and brought back a lot of supplies, so he has a lot of points. And the warriors of Macara, how should I put it, are very similar to him in terms of hard work and simplicity. They don't have any hobbies except fighting and watching people fight, so everyone spent money to buy some skills. With the generous teaching of Brother Warrior, they are now fully armed - by the way, didn't you also receive his gifts?"

President Sa: "I... Wow! I'm so angry! No, I want to ask Heine for an allowance too. Even if I didn't make any contributions, I've worked hard!"

Da Huang: "Well said. If he asks you to pay for sleeping, paying for playing in the group, paying for using camping components, paying for wearing equipment, especially if you have to pay to get experience, how will you respond?"

Mr. Sa was silent for a few seconds.

"...By the way, Heine is so nice to me!"

Da Huang: "Look at your inner character!"

Not only him, but others also started to wonder if they were big spenders.

During this process, this group of warriors who exuded the aura of nouveau riche ended the Withered Scar dungeon in an almost brutal way.

Teacher Xia couldn't help but say, "Fuck... they can even sneak..."

Zhuoyang: "Stealth is also a psychic skill. It only costs 50 contribution points, which is very cheap! But don't worry, except for your people, no one can stand the loneliness and upgrade it to level or above. Magbo will not be disbanded, and you will not be unemployed."

Teacher Xia: "...Should I thank you?"

Zhuoyang: "What are you talking about? We are all brothers! You're welcome!"

...

Like Eagle Ridge, The Blight Scar was later opened to the public, along with a new area of ​​Macalla, the Land of Resurgence.

That is where the withering marks of the past were located.

It is not appropriate to say that it is open. After all, except for the central area where the remains of Quelkus are located, the surrounding ecology has long been restored, and the refugees gathered in the western part of the Whispering Forest have also settled there.

This should be considered as publicity and promotion.

After all, the special maze structures in the flower disaster area and the insect disaster area are still there, and are still being used as training copies.

What is truly open is the training copy - as long as you go there and turn on the light sleep mode, you can experience a thrilling battle royale + monster-killing journey.

Same spectator experience, same leaderboards, same broadcast revenue sharing.

But unlike online copies, offline copies are more intended to revitalize the local economy and bring some popularity to the area of ​​recovery.

On the third day, the only copy of the "cloud server" - Nibra City was officially unveiled.

The goal this time is to penetrate into the city of Nibra and gain the trust of the city lord "Isek".

This should have been a perfect opportunity for MagB agents to show up, but the intention of the person who set the question was still not here.

So Brother Yang won again.

Unlike the agents who tried every possible means to infiltrate Nibra, the Holy Light Warriors once again demonstrated a strong sense of conviction.

They pretended to be regular troops sent by Eternal Dawn to capture traitors. They gained Isek's trust at the start and won the game directly.

Afterwards, they were taken on a tour of the city by the deceased city lord, which gave the country folk who watched the game +1 town knowledge, +1 local customs, and +10086 experience.
But this bright and beautiful city of Nibra seems a bit dazzling no matter how you look at it.

In the other two teams, the wanderers lingered in slums and sewers. The Konu people were frequently targeted because of their special beliefs, so their treatment was better than that of the necromancers.

In contrast, the courtesy enjoyed by Aigis and his companions and the prosperity they witnessed seemed to belong only to a small group of people.

Even those with the thickest filters now have doubts about the "beauty of the outside world."

One day, they wanted to go out and see for themselves.

In the end, Wumu Town won the championship of the joint military exercise after who knows how many years, and it was a crushing victory, making it a well-deserved champion!
A group of tanned warriors rushed to the podium, baring their big white teeth with joy, and looked around for their sheep instructor during the lord's speech.

In sharp contrast to them are the agents of the MagB.

I wanted to show my face to the instructors, but I ended up showing my butt!
Now they are trembling and distracted. God knows what kind of devilish training is waiting for them when they return.

The Cornu people didn't care. After all, they played with style and level, promoted totem magic, completed the task of the Dwarf Seminary, and would get a reward when they returned. They felt very comfortable!
It's just that Ian Hoddle should have come with a gloomy face to give a lecture, but I don't know where he went.

These disappeared people are now gathering together to discuss a thrilling battle.

"Ms. Veronica had some complaints about my personnel arrangements for this trip, so I have a bold idea."

Heine smiled and said, "I think my skeletons are not inferior to yours, so I hope you can fight in 'Nibra City' to dispel your doubts."

In fact, not only Veronica, but Olaf and Ian also told him the same thing.

Although his skeletons have superb combat power, if these level 7 or 8 masters are allowed to let loose to destroy them, they probably won't be able to withstand even a single blow. Wouldn't it be pure death to take them to the underground palace?

But Heine discussed it with his brothers, who insisted that they would rather rot in the dungeon than sit at home and wait.

And most importantly, isn't the purpose of mobilizing people this time to protect these squishy guys?

The brothers are all staying at home, who will take Heine through the dungeon?

Hence the battle.

Just when Heine thought that his aunt would readily agree and the two sides would go to the city of Nibra for a clean battle, the eighth-level warlock shook his head.

"No, there's no need. I already approved of them."

"What?" Heine was stunned: "Why did you agree?" This is different from what we agreed!

If we don’t fight, how can Dahuang conquer “Wei”?

How else could he turn into a dragon?

“On the one hand, there are too many mysteries about them,” Tillemans explained. “On the other hand, we simply cannot trust you.”

"Don't you trust me?" Heine frowned: "You mean..."

"We are concerned that you are publicly broadcasting this fight to the people of McCalla, and whether we win or lose, this will inevitably become a stain that will accompany us for the rest of our lives."

Veronica said seriously: "So we refuse to fight."

Heine didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

……

Five days later, as everything in McCalla returned to calm, the McCalla people began to release their excess enthusiasm in the copy.

At the same time, an elite team quietly set off on the floating city transformed by Dahuang.

Huihui possessed George and stayed at home to look after the house, while Loulton was responsible for assisting her.

In addition, there are two strong men, Arthur and Gawain, on the left and right, which is enough to deal with most problems, as well as the dragon Buzzina.

The latter can also deal with most problems as long as they do not pose a problem.

After watching the entire joint military exercise, Buzina immediately realized that some of the information was deliberately shown to her by the other side.

The truth about the past is extremely precious to a dragon like her, and this is undoubtedly a show of sincerity.

So after the game, she took the initiative to find Heine and once again expressed that she would keep her promise.

Heine wanted to say that you misunderstood, and that the broadcast was so detailed for internal publicity.

But since everything was misunderstood, he simply pretended to be very sophisticated, nodding and smiling, as if everything was self-explanatory.

At this moment in the floating city, there was no atmosphere of an impending war.

The reason is that before setting out, these elderly people formed a team to play a dungeon, but stopped at Advanced 4, and are now sharing the blame.

Veronica, relying on her highest level, said some indirect and malicious words, secretly teasing Olaf for being too reckless and pulling in too many monsters.

Ian spoke up to defend his compatriot, accusing Veronica of only criticizing Olaf and ignoring Tielemans, whose problems were more serious than his.

Tielemans then joined the fray, accusing Ian of condoning Olaf's unteam behavior.

The skeletons were so engrossed in listening and eating the watermelon so fast that they even forgot to chat!
It was the sheep catcher who was the first to sigh: "This team of four people and two hunters, it's impossible for them to pass."

Wei Dianyuan: "How can you say this in front of Mr. Sa?"

Zhuoyang: "Boss Sa, speak up!"

President Sa: "Indeed, with two hunters, it's impossible for them to pass!"

Wei Dian Yuan: "? Okay, okay, we are enemies if we are in the same profession, right?"

...

It was not until the airship approached the Death Claw Mountains and felt the dead silence and depressing atmosphere outside that the floating city became quiet.

"Because of Delmines, I know something about the Soul Forge Array."

Veronica said slowly:

"In fact, 'melting' souls is not the original purpose of this magic circle. Its real power is 'offering' - offering all the plundered souls to the only master, allowing it to grow and expand endlessly and become an immortal king.

"So you were right not to bring the forging hammer. Even though he said he could cooperate with us, he would immediately turn against us once the Lord's will came. This is a mark that has been deeply ingrained into his soul during the long-term smelting."

"What about our soul defense barrier? How long can it last under this pressure?" Heine asked.

“It’s not going to fall apart.”

Veronica raised her hand, and a ball of silver-white flame rose in her palm.

Since my aunt had promised Heine, she didn't come empty-handed.

When she left the temple, she took with her a shrine filled with special souls, souls that had been turned against the temple and were full of self-destructive tendencies.

If the Soul Furnace barrier has to attack the souls of the underworld because of the exhaustion of souls, then this is undoubtedly the "undead poison" targeting the barrier.

But after arriving in McCalla, she had a different take.

She used the purified soul and raw materials to rub a fire seed, and used it to maintain the soul defense barrier to completely block the pressure of the furnace.

——It is also worth mentioning that this fire, combined with some magical devices, can be used as a power source for the floating city.

Heine was very envious of the spell of rubbing fire with hands, but unfortunately Brother Wei didn't know how to do it - not in the game, so he had to give up the idea.

Veronica: “The premise of melting is acceptance, just like taming a beast, persuading the soul to give up resistance, and then boiling the frog in warm water so that it gradually becomes a part of the furnace.

“The reason why the Mad King was able to seduce his own people was because he understood them and knew how to make them let down their guard.

"But the souls represented by this fire are not like that. They are as pure as the original souls, and they are also added with what you call 'primordial materials'. They are naturally resistant to undead spells. This is the scope of necromancy.

"Moreover, the Mad King has been buried in the underground palace for thousands of years and has never come into contact with the current Macara. Therefore, he is unable to make our barrier 'give up resistance' and accept the fate of being melted."

This should have made people feel relieved, but when she said this, her aunt's eyes became serious:

"But this doesn't mean we can rest easy... Even though we've been apart for thousands of years, it can't change the fact that the Mad King is of the same kind as us. So my only worry is that this furnace, which has existed for thousands of years, will have many phantoms. They exist and will affect our minds through the barrier."

...

Wei Dianyuan: "Fuck, Auntie is so strong, she can even push this out? How did she know that she had to kill Phantom as soon as she entered?"

Teacher Xia: "Don't underestimate the wisdom of the elderly Aboriginal people!"

...

"So how do we deal with these phantoms?" Heine asked.

Veronica shook her head. "These phantoms are similar to the souls in Macalari's world to some extent. They have just been imprisoned in the underground palace for too long and have lost their minds. They even have the characteristics of some strange beasts and can transform into the existence we imagine. Do you know how to deal with the souls in your territory?"

Heine was stunned.

Indeed, he still didn't know how to erase the soul body in the other world.

All he knew was that when the bound individual died, the soul returned to the resurrection pool located in the old Heinrich house.

These souls will gradually lose their memories and turn into zombies.

To some extent, this can be regarded as Macara's "inherent curse", just like the immortal fighting spirits on the Zanluo Plateau.

So, the characteristic of the "spirits" imprisoned in the underground palace is "desire"?

"We are about to reach our destination."

Suddenly, a message from Da Huang with a very mechanical feel appeared in the floating city.

Everyone perked up and looked outside.

The floating city sank into the mountain and soon found the location that Lakaz had indicated.

This place is not difficult to find. Probably the guys who dug the wall built a special road for convenience.

The mountain is bare and there are few weeds, so this road is particularly conspicuous.

At the end of the road was a cave. Veronica directly activated the soul defense barrier, allowing soft white light to envelope everyone and illuminate the path down in the cave.
