Chapter 282: Reward
Chapter 282 Good News
In the dark and damp cave, countless skeletons and bones were scattered all over the floor. Several of them were about 10 feet tall, with big shoulders and round waists.
"what!!"
"Mother!"
Seeing the terrifying monster gnawing at his mother, a child in his early ten years rushed up crying, but was caught by the two monsters beside him.
"Let go!"
"Go away! I want to eat tender meat!"
"Roar!"
Several monsters next to also made piercing screams, and the entire cave was suddenly filled with ghostly ghosts.
"After practicing for hundreds of years, I have never eaten so much!"
"Hahaha, the good world is here! I used to be frightened to catch a blood meal, but now I can enjoy it with confidence! I want to eat 10,000!"
"Bah! Useless things! In the future, I will only eat children with tender meat, and adults will not look at them!"
"Then I only have the heart with the most blood, and I can eat a thousand people with one meal!"
…………
At the other end of the cave, several figures in gorgeous clothes watched the monsters roar with cold eyes, and pouted their lips in disdain.
"The foolish beast!"
"If it wasn't for the authority of these mountain spirits, they would have been skinned and dismantled, and made into magic weapons!"
"It doesn't matter, wait for them to be happy for a while, and then cook them when the materials are almost collected."
A middle-aged man led by smiled and looked at the monsters with soft eyes, but his spiritual consciousness conveyed a cold killing intent.
seemed to have noticed the man's gaze, and several monsters restrained their movements and looked at them with a flattering smile.
"Sir, do you want to eat too?"
Looking at the half-baked human legs in their hands, the middle-aged man smiled and shook his head.
"You are too primitive to eat like this, and you have the opportunity to experience our magic door's [cooking] craftsmanship."
Hearing this, several monsters could not help but look forward to it, and saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths.
Seeing the expressions of anticipation on the faces of several "ingredients", the middle-aged man smiled without saying a word, withdrew his gaze faintly, and looked at the huge magic circle suspended in mid-air, consisting of countless skulls with green fire.
The skeletons burning with green flames flew like living creatures in the sky, and let out a mournful howl that could not be caught by flesh ears.
And in the center of the countless skulls, a bone scepter exudes a dark divine light, which is like breathing.
Along with the fading of the divine light, the green particles visible to the naked eye were drawn out of the void and poured into the skull at the top of the white bone scepter.
The continuous tide of energy seemed to be rippling and contracting, and a terrifying miserable green light burned in the eye sockets of the skull at the top of the scepter.
Feeling the gradual transformation of the natal magic weapon, the middle-aged man showed a satisfied smile, as if he saw the door to the realm of the gods slowly opening to himself.
But just as he was looking forward to the future, a distant whisper suddenly exploded in his ear.
"Rahu."
锵
The indescribable terrifying sword sound seemed to come from a far away place, and it instantly pierced through time and space, appearing in front of him without the slightest delay.
In the void, the devastating jet-black sword light went upstream along the thread of causal fate, quietly extinguishing the magnificent green flame.
The outer flame instantly collapsed inward, like a candle that was about to go out, crumbling in the black light of destruction.
The others didn't realize what happened yet, the middle-aged man's face was twisted and he let out a shrill scream.
"Do not!!!"
He reached out to grab the bone scepter in mid-air, but the Destruction Sword Light was one step faster than him. The countless flying skulls melted and dissipated. Only the miserable green divine light in the eye sockets of the skulls at the top of the scepter persisted for a while, but in a blink of an eye completely extinguished.
The half-stretched palm froze in the air, and tiny black dots began to appear at the end of the evil and cruel bone scepter.
In the next second, these tiny black spots quickly spread into black spots, and finally formed a piece, transpiring black light particles visible to the naked eye.
Watching his natal magic weapon melt into the sky, the middle-aged man kept his posture and fell into complete silence.
"Master... Master, are you alright?!"
Several disciples beside him looked at his back in horror, but they didn't get a response for a long time.
After a while, the most favored disciple boldly walked up to him, and found that the middle-aged man was staring blankly at the void, and his whole body completely lost his breath.
"Master...Master...Master?"
An unbelievable guess appeared in his mind, and the disciple stretched out his trembling fingers and gently touched the middle-aged man.
In an instant, it seemed to break a certain balance, the tall figure collapsed and melted, and in front of everyone, it dissipated into black smoke, and soon disappeared without a trace.
“…”
Such a terrifying scene made everyone's scalp tingle, and several disciples looked at each other and saw the deep fear in each other's eyes.
Not only them, but several monsters on the other side of the cave were also frightened, and shivered when they grabbed their brutal and brutal weapons.
"Sir, what's going on?"
The disciple led by hesitated for a moment, and then said gloomily.
"There is a man of God who returned to the cause and effect with great mana, found the master, and the two fought against each other, and the master was defeated..."
"God...Godman?!"
Hearing the word "horror", several monsters were so frightened that they were blown away, and they subconsciously wanted to run.
"What are you afraid of? That god-man came looking for the master's magic weapon, and 'can't see' us at all!"
scolded several monsters in one sentence, and the disciple looked at several younger brothers and sisters, and gathered together to communicate silently.
"How should I explain this when I go back..."
"Mythical Venerable, what can we do?"
"It seems that he is still a big man who has opened the [Shenguan]. He can actually trace the cause and effect, follow the connection of collecting the corpse qi and scorpion qi and pursue it against the current, and erase the master across an unknown time and space... This method is simply incredible."
"It should be Damin's protector of the country, but I haven't heard that the imperial court sent a **** to Yangzhou?"
"Damn, if Emperor Damin wasn't still there, the ancestors of the sect would definitely be able to avenge the master!"
"It's pointless to say these things now. Before the emperor's fall, the ancestors of the various sects would not easily appear in the world. We can only restrain..."
Speaking of this, the leading disciple was suddenly stunned, and his brows slowly knotted.
"Wait, it's not just our family that collects materials this time, other forces are there...they..."
looked at each other, and everyone was covered in chills, and they hurriedly contacted their acquaintances.
Soon, more terrifying news came.
Their master is not the only victim!
…………
【Chongyungang】, in a luxurious study room, Zhao Yinshun sat in front of the desk, tapping his five fingers on the table rhythmically, staring into the void with his vast eyes, and his retinas reflected mysterious information that others could not observe.
"Snatch Creation"
【God】+671
【Min】+335
【Force】+424
【Fine】+714
【Qi】+817
【Body】+327
【Root Bone】+19
【Perception】+15
【Charm】+1
【Qualification】+26
Thanks to the blessings of the demons and ghosts who spread the plague, he broke through the 10,000 mark in all six dimensions, reaching the threshold of divine transformation.
Unfortunately, the attack that traces the cause and effect is a special method under the [Super-Dimensional Stance], and he will never be able to do it with another sword.
But this sword also showed him the terrifying potential of [Illusory Sword: Luohu].
This kind of attack involving the level of causal fate and swordsmanship in the general sense are simply two concepts!
As expected of a mysterious practice constructed with the uniqueness of 【Mind is better than material】…
With emotion, there was a sharp stinging pain between the eyebrows again, Zhao Yinshun frowned slightly, and sighed helplessly.
It's cool to use the sword for a while, and crematorium afterwards!
Forcibly urging the overloaded divinity is still too much pressure on his soul and body.
This injury is neither serious nor serious, and it is necessary to rest for a while, and it is best to avoid fighting with others.
However, as long as you don't do your best, it shouldn't be a big problem...
As he was thinking, there was a rhythmic knocking sound outside the door.
knock knock
"Come in."
"Your Majesty."
"Is there a problem?"
"The camping tents outside the city can basically accommodate all the victims. However, Qi Tong said that a semi-permanent camp will be built next to facilitate isolation..."
paused, Tang Hongda hesitated for a moment, and sighed in distress.
"But we don't have anything..."
"Are you missing any materials? Just go buy it."
"Your Majesty, you can't buy it! You don't know how outrageous the prices in the city are now!"
scratched his head, Tang Hongda complained tiredly.
"In the past [Chongyungang] two large silver dollars could buy once rice, but now it costs more than 40 large silver dollars, an increase of more than 20 times!"
"What's even more exaggerated is the medicinal materials. It's not enough to increase it by a hundred times. Our expenses are completely a drop in the bucket."
"Even the relatively cheap building materials have increased by more than ten times. If you want to build a semi-permanent barracks that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, I calculated that it would cost millions of gold dollars. This is based on the fact that the materials will not increase. based on the price.”
"By the way, there is also the cotton cloth you mentioned for making masks..."
Without Tang Hongda's explanation, Zhao Yinshun also knows that, driven by such a huge demand, the materials in the market will definitely continue to rise!
If there are a few more clever hoarders, the prices of various materials can rise to the sky!
It is difficult for the country to make money...It's so profitable...
rubbed his chin, Zhao Yinshun was dazed, and Tang Hongda on the side continued to report.
"This time, the transport ship accompanying the army has already unloaded the supplies and started to return. The next batch of supplies will arrive in about four days. However, if we rely entirely on the supply of Linbo County, it will seriously slow down the progress of disaster relief..."
"More importantly, only one [Chongyun Port] has squeezed our capacity, so other areas..."
Listening to Tang Hongda's helpless words, Zhao Yinshun's eyes narrowed slightly.
Yes, this is only one [Chongyun Port]. What about the hundreds of cities along the coast of Yangzhou?
Alas... Let's have a hard time with the local bugs first!
As the saying goes, the family that accumulates "goodness" must have Yu Qing, you have accumulated so much "goodness", it's time to enjoy the blessings!
The corners of his mouth raised an elegant and kind smile, and Zhao Yinshun turned to look at his confidant.
"Tang Hongda."
"The end is here!"
"How did you feel when you went to borrow food from various households?"
"Carved beams and painted buildings, splendid gold and blue, and luxury comparable to a palace, but there is really not much surplus food. It is estimated that the victims outside the city will be exhausted in a few days."
"Hehe, grain is not gold and silver jewelry. They definitely don't hoard it in large quantities, but store it in a special granary, and it is very likely that these grains have nothing to do with them on the surface, and belong to others' 'legal' property."
Holding up his chin thoughtfully, Zhao Yinshun had something to worry about.
"Send my order, and ask all the big business people in the city to come and see me!"
"Follow orders!"
…………
That night, a group of shabby-dressed people gathered together and came to Zhao Yinshun's temporary residence.
"The visitor is not good, I'm afraid it will be a feast tonight!"
Looking at the murderous soldiers passing by along the way, everyone's brows were sad, and they all turned their attention to several special beings.
"Mr. Marvin, this time it's all up to you!"
Dressed in a slender tuxedo and holding a civilization stick, the blond Marvin Maud supported the monocle on his face and nodded his head.
"Private property is sacred and inviolable, all of you are members of the [Holy Gold Alliance], and Lord Wu'an will never dare to violate the treaty of all nations and saints!"
Hearing what he said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a bit of confidence in their hearts.
Yes, we have the protection of all the saints, so Wu Anjun would not dare to be an enemy of the saints no matter how lawless he is?
Besides, we didn’t do anything bad, everything is the spontaneous business law of the market, we can’t be blamed just because prices have risen a little bit, right?
The price is raised by everyone, and the money is earned by everyone. It involves the interests of many aristocratic families, powerful officials, and even princes and nobles. Isn't Lord Wu'an stupid enough to be the enemy of the world?
Three questions went through their minds, everyone carefully analyzed them, and finally gradually relaxed.
In the end, they all focused on Marvin Maud, and there was an inexplicable envy in their hearts.
It’s still better for the Western countries, with advanced civilization, not as savage and ignorant as Damin, who can’t even increase prices at will!
Can't afford to buy things is the poor man's problem, not our problem!
At the end of the month, the votes will expire if you don’t vote. Brothers shoot at meヾ(ゞ)
