Ark, a chat group for gamers

She remembered her identity, she was the leader of Shenchi and the shadow of Shenchi.

Therefore, what she should show is only ruthlessness and perseverance.

Moreover, there are too many secrets about this man, even if he really had the opportunity to ask him, it shouldn't be such a vulgar question.

He has no name and has always called himself a defender. The first time he appeared in Xiaoqiu County was probably around April of this year, and he went straight to Shenchi.

To be honest, in the face of such a person, it is a matter of course to be alert and cautious, especially when the things that the other party takes out are of incomparable value, there are some situations where simple guarding is not enough.

However, when no one can refuse that value, people will always find an excuse for themselves to accept the price.

Raphshine didn't know much about the guardians, because most of the contact was with the real leader of Shenchi.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Rafshini had some unique views on the price the other party needed to pay.

Raphshini didn't think that the Philosopher's Stone brought by the guardians was such a safe existence, how could there be truly endless energy in this world?

It was difficult for her to say the reason for her refusal, but she understood that what the defenders planned would plunge the whole of Victoria into chaos.

But my own sister, the leader of Shenchi, expressed an acceptable attitude towards this price.

But my sister can always choose the most correct decision among various choices...

Therefore, Raphshini used the same excuse to explain herself as always.

And this kind of disagreement in the heart also allowed Raphshine, the shadow of the deep pool, to stand in a perspective that seemed to be outside the matter, and look at this gradually expanding vortex.

The guardian used the value of the Philosopher's Stone to quickly close his relationship with Shenchi, and then he used Shenchi as a springboard to establish a relationship with the great nobles in Londinium.

He is a very qualified lobbyist who knows how to maximize his own value and how to use the resources he has.

Under such a combined offensive, he was even able to deal with several grand dukes, constantly letting those grand dukes bet those chips for him.

But the defender did not get out of the deep pool because of this. On the contrary, he used these chips to firmly bind himself to the deep pool, and there was no tendency to separate.

This man, who has only been in contact with Shenchi for less than half a year, has thus become a core member of Shenchi.

As for Ravshini, she rightly felt a sense of terror towards this man.

Because he made Rafshini think of a dead person, his former teacher, the earl full of ambition and means.

On that night, if his sister hadn't chosen to kill the earl, perhaps Xiaoqiu County would have looked different now.

She thinks that her sister has done the right thing in this regard, so now, her sister can still make the same correct choice as in the past.

Facing this guardian, Raphshini's heart was shaken for the first time—perhaps, the choice her sister made now was incorrect.

The guard heard footsteps behind him, and he knew who it was without turning his head: "The leader of Shenchi, you are here."

His tone was calm, but Lavshini knew that under such circumstances, the other party already knew that it was the shadow of the deep pool that came here, not the real leader.

Rafshini didn't respond to this, she just walked to the side of the guardian with a straight face, and cast her eyes on the tunnel dug under her feet together with him.

In the hollow supported by the scaffolding, a purple-black stele is being cleaned out. Its appearance seems to be covered with a layer of oil, and a disgusting smell of rotting corpses is emitting from the surface of the stele.

It's as if the obelisk is not made of stone, but is built with dried corpses, coagulated blood and endless death... Purgatory in miniature.

"Even if we stand here, we can't revive this great thing." The guardian said, he didn't care whether the people around him were the ones who really ruled the deep pool, it wasn't that he had anything different to Lavshini The views are just purely equal.

To be precise, it is the kind of equal treatment that does not matter to anyone.

It seems to be treating everyone equally, but if you taste it carefully, you can see that the other party doesn't even treat the person in front of you as a living thing.

Facing those dead things, of course, there is no need to have any emotions.

"How ironic that even though we're actually here, it sees us as something that doesn't exist.

"Only those who are recognized by fate can wake it up."

The guardian crossed his arms and stared at the obelisk: "But it doesn't matter, the road to salvation is still open to us, and we will all find the dreams we want to pursue on this road."

The crane rowed over, and under the ties of the workers, the black-purple obelisk was slowly hoisted up to the ground.

The breath of death became more intense at this moment, even making the surrounding people unwilling to look directly at the obelisk.

Lafshini gritted her teeth secretly, everything in front of her eyes reminded her of that snowy night many years ago, the night when she was closest to death.

The flame on Drake's tail flickered like a torch. Under the bright firelight, the unwarranted darkness was dissipated a lot.

After the obelisk was hung on the ground beside him, the Taoist priest walked forward with a blank expression. He pulled out the short ax from his waist. It was a black and golden ax with a sharp edge , solid and filled with a sense of dryness and heat, as if it was fished out of the magma.

The guard raised the hatchet and slashed hard at the obelisk. Under his strange strength that even Vajvan could not resist, the ax blade penetrated into the obelisk and was torn apart. next piece.

From a distance, it seems that the guardian is a vicious beast, biting the flesh and blood of its prey.

Under the hammering of the defenders, the obelisk soon lost its original shape, and the stones on the surface were completely shattered, revealing the inner parts hidden within.

Raphshini saw what the Defenders were after, a dark green cage made of a metal she couldn't identify.

And inside the cage, there was a miniature ferocious creature spinning around, with a stream of fire surrounding the creature, constantly undulating in light and dark.

Drake's eyes trembled, and her body was tense, like a puppet whose thread was stuck, standing stiffly in place.

She didn't know what that cage was, and she didn't know why the Guardians called it the Path of Salvation.

However, Rafshini saw something that frightened her on the flowing fire.

That is the taste of life, the passive fire of life, something that should not be held by human beings...belonging to the essence of life.

Raphshini subconsciously raised the old spear in her hand, and the flames belonging to Drake were flowing on it. She pointed the tip of the spear at the back of the guardian, but finally stopped in place.

——Sister, is this choice really correct?

At this moment, everyone's eyes were attracted by the cage. They might not have the keen perception of Drake, but the breath emanating from the cage was enough to catch their eyes.

The guard put down the hatchet in his hand, he squatted down slowly, and stroked the cage with both hands.

It was an expression of piety that no one had ever seen before. The Taoist priest's eyes gradually became moist, and a few crystal drops appeared from the corners of his eyes.

"How much we suffer."

Words that do not exist in the world of Terra came out of the defender's mouth, with a slight tremor: "From now on, our fate will ultimately belong to us."

Chapter 267 By coincidence, only the key nodes have power

Ravshini was breathing heavily. No matter what others thought, but personally, the weird-looking metal cage in front of her still gave her a very obvious sense of uneasiness.

In other words, from the bottom of her heart, Lavshini doesn't think this thing will have any positive help to herself or Shenchi's vision.

She had a hunch that if she continued to cooperate, Shenchi would pay more.

But... are these costs acceptable?

Ravshini was confused. She had actually asked her sister this question a long time ago.

It was because of Deep Pool's aggressive actions that the official Victorian retaliation fell on the Tara people in Hills County.

Bloodshed occurred frequently, a large number of Tara people were even expelled from the mobile city, and displaced people abound.

Therefore, Rafshine asked her sister—are these prices correct?

And the answer was very clear, with incomparable determination and coldness.

Of course, these sacrifices are right and necessary, and if they are not done, the people of Tara will never achieve what they want.

Everything is an affordable price.

If this is the case, is the price Shen Chi will have to pay now still bearable?

Ravshini didn't know the answer to this question. She felt like she was like a reed beside a swamp, swaying endlessly with the strong wind.

"What is this?" In the end, Rafshine could only say this.

"The key, let us grasp the key of destiny." The guardian stood up from the ground, holding the cage in front of him in his hands, with a face full of piety: "Leader of Shenchi, are you willing to believe that everything in this world is controlled by fate?" Was it arranged?"

Raphshine didn't answer, but just responded to the defender's question with silence.

However, the defender didn't seem to want to hear any answer, because he quickly answered the question himself:

"I used to not believe it, but now, the reality forces me to admit that there is destiny in this world.

"In that glance towards the origin, I saw everything. I saw that the operations of all things in the world can be programmed. They are as precise as the characters coded on the typewriter, and they appear with the tapping of fingers. Clear writings were left on the white paper—and then everything flowed according to those writings.”

The guard chuckled, he turned around and held the cage in front of his chest, facing Ravshine: "Fate, it really exists, maybe it only needs a sentence, maybe it only needs a line of characters, and destiny Will be rewritten, and then reflected in the real world.

"I have chased fate, I have tried to get rid of the constraints of fate, I have been unable to ask for it, but in the end, a detached person provided me with a vision to look out, and led me to find the forgotten god. So far I just found out how to crush fate."

Lafshine frowned, she could vaguely understand the meaning of the other party's words, but at the same time, Lafshine also had some doubts about the meaning expressed by the guardian:

"But in this case, how can you be sure that what you are doing now is not an arrangement of fate?

"Perhaps, your destiny is to smash fate?"

"Well……"

This time, it was back to the guard and fell silent. Raphshini's question did not mean any mockery, her tone was sincere, and her doubts also came from the heart.

She even said that the question itself was not asking the defender, but herself.

Therefore, Taoists will seriously think about this matter.

"No, if that's the case, then my goal has also been achieved."

After a moment, the defender seemed to have remembered something, and stood there and laughed: "Because after that, the previous destiny will no longer exist. No matter what, the rope it tied to my body will be at that moment." Then disappear.”

Lavshine clenched the spear in her hand. She didn't understand what the other party suddenly understood, but the uneasiness in her heart continued to intensify over time.

Even now, when she looked at the face of the Taoist guard, she felt that he was even more hideous than before.

But in the end, the confusion in her heart overwhelmed her anxiety, she lowered the tip of the gun, and the flames on it also dimmed.

She is just a shadow, at this moment, she does not have the ability to make a decision.

"Leader?" The arsonist asked subconsciously, as if sensing the psychological changes of the leader beside him.

Lavshine just waved her hand, and she walked out, leaving behind a perfect... puppet's back.

No one can see through this disguise, because on the outside she is as mysterious and cold as ever.

After seeing the leader leave, not many people in Shenchi stayed here. They gradually left the workshop and warehouse, leaving only those who belonged to the Taoists.

The guard looked at the backs of these Shenchi members leaving, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Can't the other leader of Shenchi also do it?

"Even if they are such people, are they excluded by fate? Are those few people who can touch the strings of fate that the detached person said... that's all, as long as that witch is still in the city, that's enough.

"Heh, I don't even need to catch her. This is a test left for her by fate, and there are indeed many loopholes that can be found in this rule."

When the guard's eyes fell on the cage, the fanatical piety once again appeared on his face.

"Next, we need to replace the life in this "monster spawner"—I hope that Queen of Ender will not regret it. "

In this way, Daoist stayed in this factory until night fell. This originally felt like such a short time, but it made him feel a little uncomfortable for a long time.

But the two moons arrived as expected, and the often cloudy sky was rarely cleared tonight, making the bright white moonlight dance on the ground like flowing silver.

The guardian walked out of the barn with the monster spawner in his hand, because the detached man once said that the moonlight is part of his vision, and the red thread of fate will be clearly visible under the moonlight.

To maximize that opportunity, the monster spawner must exist in the open air.

After placing the monster spawner on the ground, the guardian opened the previously prepared ender box. The ender box was empty, and it didn't seem to be used for storing items.

The guardian raised his head and looked around, then put an eye of ender that seemed to be alive into the ender box.

A moment later, under the gaze of the guard, the eyeballs in the ender box suddenly disappeared.

He knew that the other party had received his invitation letter.

A few minutes ticked by, and suddenly countless purple light patterns sprinkled in the air, accompanied by an indescribable sound of space cracking, a tall figure appeared in front of the Taoist priest.

She was a head shorter than the Taoist priest, and the purple-black bangs on her forehead covered her right eye, adding a mysterious charm to her.

This woman was wearing a pitch-black cloak that seemed to be able to absorb light. When walking in the dark night, it was as if she herself was part of those shadows.

"I can stay here for 3 minutes." The Ender Queen said, "So, to make a long story short."

"I found the monster spawner."

"According to our previous agreement, it's time for you to fulfill your promise." The guardian was also used to the other party's way of getting along, and responded directly: "Now, I need the life source of that symbiosis."

The Ender Queen's gaze moved downwards along the defender's movements, and also landed on the monster spawner.

She stood still like this for a long while, and this action also made the guard quietly touch the handle of the ax at his waist.

"Well, this is a necessary process."
