Breath of the Dead

 Chapter 6 Disagreement and Temptation

When talking about the big guys behind the mirror underground palace, Gu Xi noticed that including Jack, their eyes were flashing with excitement.

Although the big boss was deceived, he is really capable.

 James I was the first person to rise from King of Edinburgh to Emperor of Britain.

 At the beginning, his demands were so high, and all he paid was a city as a sacrifice.

If their requirements are lower, then the price they pay can also be lower.

It can be said that the expressions of the people in Victoria City when they heard that they had the chance to find the mirror underground palace were just like the expressions of the Arabs when they heard that they had the chance to get the magic lamp for making wishes.

 It can be said that no one can control their ambitions.

The same is true for these people in front of me.

 They gave up the chance to escape for such a misty dream.

　　Follow Jack and join the team searching for the mirror underground palace.

Even Gu Xi didn’t know how many of them would survive in the end.

Jack didn’t know what Gu Xi was thinking. After introducing the mirror underground palace, he picked up the original topic.

"Master Mage, I got exact information from the architect. There are a total of six doors in the mirrored underground palace opposite the Victoria Tower. Legend has it that as long as the six doors are opened at the same time, the exiled city will return.

 To open these doors, a blood sacrifice is required.

 According to the situation of each door, the blood sacrifice requires the heads of a British emperor and a British queen, the blood of a British princess and a British prince, and the lives of a British brother and a British husband.

 Each blood sacrifice at the gate requires the lives and blood of one thousand to five thousand ordinary people.

These ordinary people still have certain requirements.

 We can be considered as belonging to the group of those who accompany us to death. "

 Gu Xi's eyelids twitched, and he finally knew why he was brought here.

　　"They really can think of using me as a sacrificial offering. I won't be able to bear this anger."

Hearing Gu Xi's words, several people nearby also nodded affirmatively. They were all captured in this way, and no one wanted to be used as a sacrifice to die.

 Don't say that Gu's breath can't go down anymore, it's even a person's breath that can't go down.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi said harshly: "This matter is not over yet. Don't you want to open the door? I can't let him open it. Give me the map and I will find a way to destroy the door."

"no!"

Just after Gu Xi finished speaking, everyone including Jack started shouting.

Gu Xi looked at them with a puzzled expression and found that they all had a bit of embarrassment in their eyes.

At this time, Jack explained to Gu Xi: "Master Mage, it's not that I don't want to stop you from destroying the gate, but... it's that the gate is not built by the mirror underground palace, but by the big boss from the fake city of Victoria. of.

Even if you destroy it, a new one will come out. At that time, the cultists can still perform blood sacrifices, but another group of innocent passers-by will die.

 Master Mage, you don’t think about some innocent passers-by dying because of you. "

“Innocent passers-by, I’m just an innocent passer-by. You think about them, and I also think about myself. If I don’t destroy a door, I won’t be able to get rid of this anger.”

At this time, a woman sitting in the corner stood up. When she stood up, she did not forget to push her hair behind her ears.

When she walked to Gu Xi, the woman whispered: "Mr. Master, we understand your feelings. We also want to take revenge on those cultists, but we have to find the right target, right?

 Shouldn’t we target those cultists? "

Gu Xi glanced at everyone present, and then laughed disdainfully. Seeing the expressions of approval on these people's faces, Gu Xi understood what they were thinking.

On the surface, these people came to take revenge on the cultists, but in fact, they also wanted to get benefits from the exiled boss.

 Greed is written on their faces. Such people are not worthy of being partners.

 Their minds are not as clear as those civilians who ran away after being released.

Gu Xi shook his head, "It's up to you. I will have my own plans and directions. Just don't disrupt my actions. Besides, I need to rest now, so you'd better be quiet."

"Master Mage, you can't say that, we are on the same boat now..."

Before the woman could finish her words, Luna came to her, staring blankly into her eyes, leaving her speechless.

“When you speak, it’s best to think more about whether you have the ability to calm things down. If not, then shut your mouth honestly.”

Gu Xi’s words made everyone present tremble with fear.

However, Gu Xi did not embarrass them, after all, they finally brought him some useful news.

And they are still comrades-in-arms.

 So after scaring these people, Gu Xi found a place to sit down, closed his eyes, and began to recover the consumed mana.

As soon as Gu Xi's eyes closed, Luna retreated to Gu Xi's side. She didn't look at the other people, but just because of Luna's presence, no one here even dared to take a breath.

However, as time passed by, these people started to think carefully again.

They saw that Gu Xi had obviously fallen asleep. The two thin middle-aged men looked at each other. One stood up and slowly leaned towards Gu Xi, while the other was sitting on the ground and moving.

They planned to attract Luna's attention while one of them sneaked closer to Gu Xi.

 In their minds, mages are poor in melee combat. As long as they catch Gu Xi, they can control the situation. It's not like they haven't seen him before. He's just a rookie mage.

 Their thinking is actually correct. After being imprisoned for such a long time, civilians who are not cruel will simply not survive.

 But they never expected that Luna, as a ghost, was born with vigilance skills.

 Her body has no entity at all. When the enemy has circled behind her, he is actually facing her head on.

 She will never be attacked from behind.

The moment the middle-aged man who wanted to sneak up on Gu Xi stood up and prepared to pounce, a cold tentacle hit him.

 Then the middle-aged man's body was quickly frozen and he fell heavily to the floor.

 【Luna (contracted undead) kills civilians (level 0), you get 2 experience points, and the contracted undead gets 4 experience points. 】

At this time, Gu Xi also opened his eyes. He glanced at the message that popped up in front of him and sighed helplessly.

"Why are you doing this? Why don't you live a good life?"

Looking at Gu Xi standing up, Jack also said quickly.

“Master Mage, don’t be angry, they don’t have any bad intentions.”

“Yes, Master Mage, we really don’t know anything.”

 “Yes, I fell asleep just now too.”

Several others also started talking quickly, as if they wanted to clear everything away.

Gu Xi glanced at them, stretched out his hand to grab the dead middle-aged man, and some light spots fell into his hands.

Then Gu Xi turned his hand over, and the light spots turned into a larger light group and fell back into the middle-aged man's body.

Amid a burst of crackling sounds, the middle-aged man turned into a skeleton holding nothing.

Pointing to the skeleton standing next to him, Gu Xi said calmly.

“Don’t think it’s me who needs you, you need my help now, so if you don’t want to die, just be honest with me, otherwise I will turn you all into skeleton soldiers.”
