Invincible Heroes - Hidden Architect

Chapter 730 Wild Boar Man

Qi Ge knocked on his head and felt a little headache.

In order to prevent a war of all races from breaking out in Taitalia, he made a lot of preparations in the fortress, so much that even if a war of all races broke out, the losses would be minimized.

But now, the battle for hegemony among all races seems to be changing places.

“If a struggle for hegemony breaks out in Aveli, hey, I can’t even think about it.

After all, the territory of the fortress has a special environment and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The defensive power of Avili City is completely inferior to that of the fortress.

Although the elven archers and mages are powerful, they are also fragile and their training period is extremely long, so they cannot afford to die.

Among the entire barrier force, only the dwarves and tree actuaries have outstanding defense and high enough health.

But unfortunately, Lloyd, who was best at commanding the tree spirits, rebelled.

I didn't make enough preparations for the barrier forces. The elders of the Elven Senate were bad-tempered and didn't listen to what others said. It was extremely difficult for me to take over the command.

There are also nails planted by unknown forces in Aveli, and there is also the risk of an explosion. "

"The most troublesome thing is that the Tears of Yasha in the fortress are an illusion and cannot be born at all. As long as we find a way to explain this, the struggle for hegemony among all races can end early.

But the Elf Tribe’s Tears of Yasha, although they are small, are real! "

Qi Ge knocked on his head.

“Now we must not refute the rumor that the Elf’s Tears of Yasha are small, and we must completely deny the existence of the Tears of Yasha.

Otherwise it will only have the opposite effect.

‘You say it’s small, right? Maybe it will grow up in my hands? ’

‘Others don’t know if it’s a small one, I have to take it first and see. ’

The war of all races officially launched by the Mother Goddess is a simulated battle in which no one will die, but I am afraid that those bastards will be the same as in the previous life, thinking of clearing out those who may threaten me before the war of all races begins.

No, I must find a way to prevent the fight for hegemony among all races from happening.

There are two ways. One is to help Lloyd and the others use Little Yasha's Tears before others find out the truth, or I can simply ask someone to help use it.

In short, use it in time!

The second is to throw another smoke bomb to divert other people's attention. "

Qi Ge looked at the lively clean-up army in the Chaos Sea and thought about it.

"It's time for my army of bards to appear.

Everyone likes to grab Yasha’s Tears, right?

Let you grab enough! "

…

Wow!

The heavy rain was like countless sharp arrows shot from the sky, hitting the rocks and soil, causing splashes of water.

The lizard people seem to be accustomed to this. They have thick and extremely airtight scales, and their bodies can be washed away by the rain without any trace of panic on their faces.

Their double-layered eyes were not affected at all by the washing of the rain, but their vision became clearer.

Every lizard man looked very excited and seemed to be enjoying this carnival of nature.

At this time, in the tavern of the lizardman village, two lizardmen with bows and arrows on their backs were having a heated discussion:

"Have you heard?

The Poseidon Church has issued a call to clear the Sea of Chaos, and all forces and races in the world of Yasha can participate.

The force or race that makes the greatest contribution in clearing the Sea of Chaos can receive a Tear of Asa dropped by the Mother Goddess. "

"Of course I've heard about it. Those bards have been playing and singing like crazy lately, who can't hear them?

I have memorized that song.

"The god of the sea rises, chaos dies,

Heroes gathered together.

Clouds and whales fly, waves pile up,

Yasha's tears fell into the ocean.

Races are like the ocean,

Destroy chaos and become famous.

Sea snakes appear, sea cities rise,

The tenth force comes out of the sea area.

The wind and thunder shake, nine oceans turn over,

A new god appears and the world changes! "

"Hey, you really know how to sing."

"That's right." The lizard man looked around slyly, got closer to his companion, and whispered:

"I'll tell you a secret, but you must never tell anyone else.

I gave the singing bard some tips, and the bard said that except for our fortress, all the nine major forces have sent troops to the sea! "

"Ah! How can this work? Our fortress naval battle is so powerful, why are we still lagging behind?"

"Our fortress is also recruiting warriors who dare to fight against Chaos. I'm about to sign up!"

"Siha! Take me one!"

…

"I gave the singing bard some tips. The bard said that except for our tower, all the nine major forces have sent troops to the sea!"

"Except for our stronghold..."

"Except for our castle..."

"Except for our barriers..."

It was clear that no one from the nine major forces had sent troops at all, but with the vigorous propaganda of countless bards, the lies repeated thousands of times became the truth.

No one wants something as important as the Tears of Yasha to fall into the hands of others, especially hostile forces.

As Queen Catherine, the Great Council of Thunder City, King Talos of Taitalia, and Dragon Queen Moriel successively issued orders to assist the Poseidon Church, all nine major forces took action.

Countless warships rushed towards the ocean like dumplings, heading towards the Sea of Chaos under the guidance of mermaids and sea monsters.

Even the stronghold forces without fleets sent Thunderbird troops as assistance.

The nine major forces all mobilized, and the neutral races were naturally not to be left behind.

Those neutral races are more eager for the Tears of Yasha than the nine major forces that already have the Tears of Yasha.

If you look down from the heights of Yasha World, you can see countless black spots converging towards Poseidon Church from all directions.

A lot of energy from the nine major forces was involved, and there were far fewer troops that could be sent to the Harmondale area for reconnaissance.

But less does not mean there is none.

Any stronger force would not choose one of the two possible news about the Tears of Yasha for reconnaissance, but would want both.

…

Seven Pigeons arrived at the [Quiet Village] near the Harmondale area.

What he saw along the way made him feel a little heavy.

Lizardmen, orcs, big-eared monsters, Medusa... He can see heroes from all races.

The elves have always been unwelcoming to outsiders, but they don't reject them either. They are not very responsible, they are old scum.

As a result, the number of other races living in Aveli is relatively small.

There are so many people suddenly popping up now, and they can only come because of the news about the Tears of Yasha.

There are not only investigators sent by the government, but also adventurers who come for bounties and rewards, as well as some arrogant people who are lucky enough to think that they might be able to get the Tears of Yasha.

No, as soon as Qi Ge entered the village, he saw a chubby master wild boar man shouting:

"Humph, they are all a bunch of whimsical people.

If the Tears of Yasha were so easy to find, everyone in Yasha Continent would already have one.

You all should leave. As long as my red-skinned brother is here, this Tears of Asa must be mine. "

Qi Ge:......

The quilboar is one of the branches of the orcs and the sworn enemy of the gnolls.

There are two more famous units among the wild boars. One is the wild boar knights who ride Gobi wild boars, and the other is the red-skinned wild boar men whose skin is red all over and looks like a roasted suckling pig.

Red-skinned quilboars are good at crafting firearms, and like high-level gnolls, they use a handgun that looks very much like a hand cannon to attack.

Qi Ge had learned about the red-skinned wild boar race before, because they all believed in the goddess of wealth.

Their special skill is that they can convert the killed troops into gold coins, which is somewhat similar to Koroko's golden touch, but the effect is much worse.

As a price, they need to consume gold coins as ammunition every time they shoot.

At the same time, their entire race has unique gun-making talents, and can use basic ores and furnaces to knock out guns.

The master-level red-skinned wild boar hero was followed by a large group of red-skinned wild boar soldiers holding fire blunderbuss.

They blocked in front of the [Quiet Village]. They all bared their teeth, revealing their long and thick canine teeth. They held submachine guns in their hands, blocking other races who wanted to enter the village.

A gray-haired tauren hero was leading his troops and confronting them angrily:

"How can this make sense! This is an elven village. The elves didn't stop us, so why do you stop us?"

The red-skinned hero glared at the opponent, pointed to the unit card on his chest, and shouted:

"What's wrong? You don't accept it? If you don't accept it, I'll beat you until you accept it!"

"you!"

The tauren shook his body twice angrily, turned around and left.

Behind him, the red-skinned wild boar man showed a provocative expression and snorted disdainfully.

"Huh? You just left like that? This is not like the behavior of a tauren."

Qi Ge asked a lizard man around him curiously:

"Brother, I just came here. I want to ask you, do you know what's going on here?"

"Siha~ That wild boar man is the hero of the Church of Fortune. He has occupied the [Silent Village] and won't let anyone in.

Several master-level heroes challenged him before, but were defeated by him.

Although he is only a master, he has a very weird combination of treasures that allows his quilboars to shoot 4 times per round.

If there is no legendary hero, I am afraid no one will be his opponent.

Even if a legendary hero comes out, it is unlikely that he will take action against the Church of Wealth.

We all guess that the Church of Fortune has sent people here, and the matter of Tears of Asa is definitely a sure thing this time.

Maybe, Tears of Yasha was born in [Quiet Village]! "

Qige was a little dazed for a moment. The lizard man's attitude casually mentioned the Tears of Yasha, as if everyone knew that there were Tears of Yasha here.

This situation is very bad, very bad.

This shows that Tears of Yasha in the Harmondale area has spread quite widely, and even NPCs no longer think it is a secret.

"Who on earth spread this news?"

Qi Ge frowned. He was now very worried that the incident here was also a conspiracy.

"The culprit must be found as soon as possible."

Qi Ge said to the lizard man with a playful smile:

"Asha's Tears? Impossible. Can such a precious thing be found in this place?

Brother, where did you hear this news? "

The lizard man gave Qi Ge a strange look:

"Siha, you don't know?

There was originally a powerful centaur tribe in the Harmondale area, and there were two heroic centaurs alone.

Later, the centaur tribe moved for unknown reasons, and a group of humans from Erathia occupied it.

A month ago, those humans discovered a building that looked like an obelisk, exactly like the obelisk that originally appeared in the Phoenix Whirlpool.

Everyone said that Tears of Asa was about to be born here. "

Qi Ge:......

grass!

I sat up in shock while dying of illness, and the culprit was myself again.

"Have you seen that obelisk with your own eyes?"

"No way, I would look for evidence here if I saw it with my own eyes. I would have gone back to collect the reward.

Everyone said that this obelisk was hidden by Farouk, the human commander of the Harmondale region. "

The lizard man stretched out his fingers, rubbed them against Qi Ge, and said:

"Siha, you asked me so many questions, you can't ask them in vain, right?"

Qi Ge's eyes narrowed and he suddenly understood. He immediately took out a small bag of gold coins and stuffed them into the lizard man's hand.

"Brother, do you have any more confidential information?"

"Siha! Siha! Siha!"

The lizard man weighed the weight of the gold coins in his hand and was shocked.

"so much?"

"It's not much, just 50..."

"50 is not much?! It's enough for my family of three to live for two months."

The lizard people were in awe of the seven doves:

"Big boss, I really have confidential information here. Come on, let's talk about it here."

"Yes, please."

Before leaving, Qi Ge looked at the red-skinned wild boar man suspiciously.

"The Church of Fortune...if the news of Asa's Tears has been spreading for so long, then his actions may seem like he is driving away these adventurers, but in fact he is adding fuel to the fire.

Not only is this easy to cause conflicts, it can also make others believe that there are tears of Asa here.

Could it be someone sent by Hoff and Ernie?

No, I'll have to ask later. "

…

Qige followed the lizard people around to a jungle, where a large area of trees had been cut down, and many lizard people, humans, and orcs had built a temporary camp here.

When the lizard man came back, many people in the camp greeted the lizard man warmly. It could be seen that his status in the camp was not low.

The lizard man introduced Qige:

“This is a long-term camp built by adventurers like us who are convinced that there are Tears of Asa here.

With our strength, we can’t even think about Tears of Asa.

So our goal is intelligence.

Most of us here come from different camps and have been sharing our findings with each other and helping each other in our investigations.

Once we find reliable evidence that there are indeed Tears of Asa here, we can go back at the same time and collect the reward together. "

"Oh~ I see."

Qi Ge suddenly realized.

Intelligence is the same as seeds and websites. You have one, and I have one. If we swap them, everyone will have two.

The big people have the literary, political and military strategies of the big people, and the small people also have the survival wisdom of the small people.

These adventurers who help each other can achieve mutual benefit in most cases.

Qige followed the lizard man into his wooden house.

He closed the door, leaned over to Qi Ge, and took out a piece of purple glass.

"Big boss, this is what I dug at the place where the obelisk was said to be found.

I am short-sighted and cannot recognize what this is, and I am not sure whether it has anything to do with Tears of Asa.

Take a look and see if you need it. If so, I will sell it to you for 150 gold coins. "

When Qi Ge saw the purple glass shards, his heart almost skipped a beat.

But he still pretended to be very calm, picked up the glass shard, played with it twice in his hand, and put it back again.

"This looks like ordinary glass."

"Glass?"

"Oh, there may be a little less in Taitalia, but there are a lot in Bracada. It's a kind of thing made of sand. It looks like a gem, but it's not very valuable."

"is that so?"

The lizard man's tail hung weakly on the ground, a little frustrated.

"I always thought this was some kind of treasure and I kept it for a long time.

Forget it, with your fifty gold coins, I don’t have to worry about the cost of my child’s advancement.

I might as well go back to Taitalia. "

"Hmm. Okay, please be careful on the road. Is the toll sufficient? If not, if you have other information, I can buy some from you."

The lizard man scratched his head and took out the piece of purple glass:

"Big boss, this is really worthless. Do you really not want it?"

"What if?"

Qi Ge looked at him strangely and suddenly realized:

"Oh~ You have to buy this to prove your financial strength before you can tell me the top-secret information, right? Okay."

Qi Ge took the glass shard in his hand and threw 300 gold coins over it.

“Half buys glass, half buys intelligence.

If you have anything, just say it. "

"Siha!!"

The lizard man opened the money bag and looked at it, trembling with excitement.

"Big boss! You are really a big boss! I am so grateful to you.

Boss, my village is right next to the Misty Swamp, called Fuchi Village.

From now on, boss, if you want to come to my village as a guest, tell me your name, Harveys, and I will treat you well.

There is indeed news here, but I haven't fully confirmed it yet. "

After collecting a considerable tip, Harveys quietly told Qige:

"I heard that the Tears of Asa belong to Lloyd, another commander in the Harmondale area. He is currently blocked in Victoria by the immortal witch Jenny, the gryphon commander Edric, and a large group of chaotic scouts. Near Ningcheng.

The situation there is too chaotic, and there is no way for adventurers like us to get close. "

"Oh~" Qi Ge narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

…

Qi Ge looked at the glass in his hand.

Heroes and players use identification methods to identify magic crystals, and only [purple stones] will be identified.

The identification result was not wrong. It was indeed just a purple stone, but it was a stone that fell from the obelisk.

Qige calls it magic crystal.

The obelisk is the strongest thing in the entire world of Asa.

Even demigod-level magic cannot cause any damage to the obelisk.

There is only one way to leave fragments of the obelisk, and that is to capture the obelisk.

The obelisk will disappear quickly after being conquered, but if you are connected with the obelisk, you can dig up the obelisk fragments at the location where the obelisk disappears.

This [destined relationship] is very metaphysical.

Some people can't dig it out no matter how hard they dig, and some people can dig it out just by digging through the soil.

Just like the magic crystal was in a quantum state before it was discovered, special people are required to observe it in order for it to collapse from the void into reality.

After the obelisk fragments collapse into reality, they will no longer disappear. They can be traded, robbed, and used by anyone.

As long as he poured enough magic into the shard, it would guide him to the next obelisk.

Only those who conquer the initial obelisk and have magic crystals can know and find the next obelisk.

Otherwise, the obelisk will be like a magic crystal, in a wonderful state that cannot be discovered, observed, or touched.

But for Qige, even if he got the magic crystal, he couldn't use it.

Because the conditions for using magic crystals are the same as the triggering conditions for the obelisk mission:

First, heroes with legendary strength or above.

Second, get unconditional support and full recognition from more than 7 [Military Groups].

Unconditional support means that the group's reputation reaches respect, and full recognition means that the group's favorability reaches 100.

Third, individuals judged by Yasha’s mother to be beneficial to Yasha’s world.

The first condition is to eliminate Qi Ge.

Of course, not many people in the entire Yasha world know these three conditions, otherwise there wouldn't be so many lucky people coming to interfere with this matter.

Just because it can't be used doesn't mean that the magic crystal has no effect on Qi Ge.

The magic crystal can be used as proof that the obelisk has appeared, and can also be used to test whether the Tears of Yasha have been obtained.

Qi Ge injected his magic value into the magic crystal. His magic value dropped rapidly, but the magic crystal did not respond at all.

It wasn't until Qi Ge entered a full 100 points of magic value that the system prompt rang.

[System prompt: Failed to use. 】

"It's a failure to use, not that the obelisk has been conquered.

This shows that the Tears of Yasha have indeed been taken out.

Lloyd's speed is quite fast. "

Qi Ge looked in the direction of Weining City and said to himself:

"If I remember correctly, Lloyd in his previous life placed the Tears of Yasha in Vining City, which allowed the Harmondale region to achieve independence.

In his previous life, the only obstacles he faced were those of Roland's subordinates.

But in this life, the enemies he has to face are much stronger than in his previous life.

Neither Jenny nor Edric is easy to deal with, and there are so many troops and heroes from other forces coming in...

Hiss, if you think about it carefully, the other forces that came in were because I abducted the centaur tribe.

Jenny and Edric came to the Harmondale area because I used a strategy to divert them away.

Isn’t this all about me? !

If Lloyd dies and does not use Little Yasha's Tears, Yasha's Tears will regenerate the obelisk in place.

So this time, in order to snatch the ownership of the obelisk, I don't know how many people will die.

Seriously, I was the one responsible for all the deaths.

Outrageous, it’s me who is behind the scenes?

Well, why should I say it again? "

Qi Ge rubbed his forehead:

"In the end, what happened is still related to me, and I have to find a way to help Lloyd.

But before that..."

Qi Ge took out the conch and contacted Erni.

"Hello. It's me, Your Majesty Ernie, is Pope Hove with you?

Yes, that's good, that's it. I have something I want you to help check...

…

Hmm, it's been confirmed that the Church of Fortune has not sent wild boars to the Harmondale area, right?

Um.

That works, I get it.

No, no, no, I don’t need your help, I can handle it here.

Just know that they are not sent by us and will not make any mistakes.

All right. "

Qi Ge put down the conch and his face darkened.

“It’s really not from the Church of Fortune.

There is indeed something wrong with the red-skinned wild boar man.

Is it simply stupid and arrogant...or..."

Qige's mind immediately thought of the force hiding in the dark.

“Could it be the person from the organization that injured Uncle Thief?

No, I have to confirm. "

…

"Hmph..."

The wild boar leader was sitting in front of the table, sticky oil staining his whole body, especially his bright red belly, which was as bright as a roasted suckling pig freshly baked in the oil.

"ah!"

The wild boar man tore off a piece of meat fiercely, chewed it in a few mouthfuls, and swallowed the skin, meat and bones together. The table in front of him was already in a mess, with all the eaten food scattered here and there.

Surrounding the wild boar leader, his wild boar subordinates were enjoying a table full of delicacies just like him. It was just that eight of his subordinates sat at one table, while he sat at one table alone.

“It’s so rich here, with sluggish elk and plump rabbits everywhere in the forest.

Occasionally there are wolves for extra meals.

It would be a waste to give such territory to those elves who are always on a vegetarian diet. "

"Yes, yes, compared to our barren Gobi, this place is simply the kingdom of God. I don't want to go back to the Gobi for a second."

"Even if we can't grab Yasha's Tears, it's still good to grab a piece of territory here."

“Idiot, you can’t stuff your mouth with so much food.

Now neither elves nor humans can get away. When Avili and Erathia take their hands away, we are seeking death if we dare to occupy this place. "

"Humph! Humph."

As the wild boar leader spoke, the wild boar people fell silent and continued to enjoy their food, but their mood was obviously much lower.

When the wild boar leader saw this, he patted the table and said loudly:

"What are you all doing with your heads down? As long as you follow me and work hard, there will be nothing in the future?

Let me tell you, as long as this is done well, even in the desolate Gobi desert in our hometown, we can still live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

If I can earn enough gold coins, I will take you to settle in Erathia and you can eat like this every day. "

"Hmph! The leader of Runajak is wise!"

"Chief, our lives belong to you."

After inspiring a wave of morale, Runajak grunted with satisfaction, took another bite of meat, and chewed it.

As he was eating, he accidentally glanced at the meat on his hand, and surprisingly found that the venison he had been eating had turned into his own head.

"ah!!"

Runajak shouted excitedly and threw the head out of his hand.

"How is this going?""

He raised his head and looked around. All his little brothers had no heads. The broken parts of their necks turned into mouths, holding their own heads and gnawing fiercely.

"hiss!!!"

A chill ran from Lunajak Pig's tail to his spine.

He was so frightened that he suddenly fell to the ground, looking extremely horrified.

"Chief, what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, he saw all his men looking at him with their heads that had been bitten to pieces and bloody flesh, and a few of them had stood up, looking at him with their big grinning mouths on their necks exposed.

"Don't come here! Don't come here!"

Runajak raised the gun on his waist, threatening these terrifying beings who were his subordinates just a second ago.

"Stay away from me! Who are you?"

"Chief, what are you talking about? We are your tribe."

A subordinate took a half step back in confusion. As he spoke, his chest suddenly split open, and a five-petal mouth full of sharp teeth bloomed on his chest like a flower.

"ah!!"

As soon as Runajak closed his eyes, a huge fear surged into his heart.

He pulled the trigger hard and fired five shots.

The surrounding area fell silent for a moment.

Um? I only fired five shots and killed them all?

Runajak mustered up his courage and slowly opened his eyes.

A large pile of bloody pig heads had been attached to his face, and maggots were crawling out of the empty eyeballs.

"Gah!!"

Runajak rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.

…

Lunajak woke up leisurely and looked around.

He is now in a deserted and dark cave. Outside the cave, there is heavy rain and lightning and thunder.

Boom!

A bolt of thunder suddenly sounded along with lightning, illuminating Runajak all of a sudden, stretching his shadow very long.

"Is this? By the way, I was eating, and my subordinate suddenly turned into a monster.

Why? In the end what happened? "

"you're awake?"

At this moment, a hoarse voice came from behind Runajak, as if the wind was leaking.

He quickly turned his head and saw a figure wrapped in tattered black robes standing behind him.

"Master...master!"

Runajak quickly turned around and half-knelt on the ground.

"Master, did you save me? Where are the other members of my clan?"

"I don't know, when I rushed to the Silent Village, I only saw you passed out in the tree house alone.

None of this matters. How did you complete the task I gave you? "

"Lord, master!"

Runajak seemed very anxious and said quickly:

"Master, don't worry, I have captured all the elves and humans in the Quiet Village and are sending them back to the base urgently.

Now the entire quiet village is under my control.

As long as Lloyd dares to come to save people, I will definitely find a way to keep him and inform the master. "

"anything else?"

"And... Oh, Master, I have already spread the news that there are Tears of Asa here, and the effect is very good.

When there are enough people here, I will announce in the name of the Goddess of Wealth that the Tears of Yasha are real, and I will ensure that Avili will be in chaos. "

"anything else?"

"And...and..."

Lunajak was a little confused:

"Master, didn't you just give me two tasks?"

"Huh?! Have you forgotten my order? Damn it!"

"No, no, no! Absolutely not, Master! I am loyal to you."

Runajak begged:

"Master, don't kill me, let me think, let me think."

"Oh, by the way. I remembered! Master, Princess Malodia did not come to Harmondale and was still at the top of the Golden Dragon.

I can't really help you with Marodia's arrest. "

…

In the quiet village, Qige looked at the picture that appeared in the mirror and took a deep breath.
