MTL - Drawing Cards With My Lifespan: Starting By Gamifying Reality-v2 Chapter 254 Now is the time to keep your promise
The tall black stone house stood quietly as usual.
The pillar of divine fire burning soaring to the sky on the top of the stone roof was darker than before.
At the main entrance of the stone house, many extraordinary people came and went, and the flow of people was endless.
I can see the expressions on everyone's faces are quite excited and high-spirited.
It's not as gloomy and solemn as it was when the war first started.
When passing by, I even heard some supernatural beings talking excitedly:
"Have you heard? The news from Wan Yao Kingdom?"
"What's the news, hasn't the Wan Yao Kingdom retreated a long time ago? Is it coming to attack again?"
"What are you talking about, with Yuan Shengzun sitting at the base, they dare to attack?
Even if they had ten guts, they would not dare to approach our base even half a step. "
"Okay, tell me quickly, what good news is it?"
"Hey, I heard that after the leader became a saint, he made a special trip to Wan Yao Country.
Question them for starting this war, demand punishment for the murderers, and demand compensation. "
"Hold the grass, can't it? There are saints sitting in the kingdom of Wan Yao.
Moreover, the quasi-sages under his banner are like clouds, and there are countless powerful monsters.
Can they agree to this outrageous condition? I'm afraid I won't directly call out the leader. "
"Oh, don't interrupt, listen to me first.
The condition proposed by the head of the delegation seems to us to be outrageous.
Especially since he has just been sanctified, there may still be a gap in strength between those veteran saints of Wan Yao Kingdom.
But, the problem is this, but Wan Yao Kingdom accepted all the conditions he proposed.
For this reason, they not only personally beheaded the ninth prince who was a quasi-sage in the royal court.
He even compensated him a large amount of resources, many of which were used for the reconstruction of the base.
I didn't believe this news at first, until I used more advanced iron jade wood when I built the outpost a few days ago.
As we all know, iron jade wood has always been very popular with us because of its excellent affinity for the rune circle and its indestructibility.
But the only place of origin of iron jade wood within a million miles is in the capital of Wan Yao Kingdom, and it is listed as a strategic material, and it is impossible to get it outside.
You said that if they hadn't taken the initiative to compensate, how could we have gotten so much iron jade wood? "
"That said, I also remembered that when going out to patrol and build defense points, several teams even used force beasts to carry supplies.
This thing is basically only available in the Wan Yao Kingdom, and it has always been only used for their internal construction.
Now that it has appeared on our side, some god-man ran in and stole it? "
"Why? Since they lost, there is no need for compensation, right?
For them, this war was at best an offensive failure, and they lost a large number of monsters.
But the loss of the monster group is nothing but drizzle to the Wan Yao Kingdom, and their homeland has not been attacked by us.
I really don't see why they would want to compensate.
Even if the group leader is promoted to a saint, it's not like they don't have saints.
There may even be more saints than us. "
"I vaguely know the reason for this.
First of all, you need to know that the saint and the saint below can almost be regarded as two species.
Even if they don't belong to the same race, they don't belong to the same camp, the saint's recognition of saints is higher than that of the same race.
Therefore, there is a customary rule among them, that is, the majesty of the saint cannot be offended.
Low-level beings should not offend the majesty of the saint. Once you offend, the saint should take whatever measures against you.
The war launched by the Wan Yao Kingdom against us this time happened to happen during the promotion of the head of the group to become a saint.
In theory, then, the head of the group can regard this as a provocation of his status as a saint in the Wan Yao Kingdom.
Therefore, he has enough reasons to claim compensation and ask the other party to hand over the culprit.
Because of this, the Ninth Prince may not have known about this war from the beginning to the end.
But because he is the immediate boss of those military masters, or for other reasons.
All in all, he was pushed out as a scapegoat to appease the anger of the regiment leader.
Of course, we do not rule out the existence of saints who care more about their own ethnic group.
According to normal circumstances, if one dismisses the majesty of the so-called saints and thinks that the interests of the ethnic group are above all else.
Then in the end, Wan Yao Kingdom will still bow its head.
The reason is simple, the destructive power of the saint is too great, and it is extremely difficult to kill.
They cannot guard against the spying of a saint.
Instead of letting the group leader watch over their group day and night, kill one group today and another group tomorrow.
It is better to hand over the culprit directly and compensate some supplies, which will make the loss smaller.
Therefore, whether it is from a tacit understanding point of view or a rational point of view.
Soft compensation is the best way.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the leader has been promoted to a saint.
If you ran to other people's territory to run wild before reaching the Saint Realm, you might not even come back. "
"really."
"I understand now."
"No wonder those guys from Wan Yao Kingdom are willing to pay compensation."
…
Watching the group of extraordinary people gradually walk away, Su Mo slowly looked away.
He didn't expect such a thing to happen after the great battle that day.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
It can be seen from the battles where the saints gather **** battles that there is some tacit understanding between the high-level forces of the two worlds.
This tacit understanding is to protect their respective ethnic groups, and perhaps there are deeper reasons in it.
But in any case, for today's war situation, it could not have been a better result.
After all, the number of saints in the source world is too terrifying.
Even if only one saint is born in a group of monsters, that is an unimaginable number.
Fortunately, each ethnic group has the interests of each ethnic group, and they cannot truly unite as one and unite with the outside world.
This can be regarded as the only reason why the human race can support until now.
Think about it and it's as fragile as a soap bubble.
What if one day several huge ethnic groups gather together to make troubles.
Maybe it's the end of humanity.
Thinking of this, Su Mo couldn't help but feel chills all over his body, and goosebumps followed.
"What are you doing standing there?"
A gentle voice suddenly came, interrupting Su Mo's fluttering thoughts.
"Director Zhao."
Seeing Zhao Xing, Su Mo couldn't help being slightly surprised.
Zhao Xing smiled and said:
"Just now the leader asked me to come and pick you up, I thought you should come, but it turned out that I couldn't wait.
[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, the source app! It’s really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
I didn't expect to see you stunned at the door when I came here. "
"Haha, I'm sorry. I've been retreating these days. I just heard some news. It's a bit novel, and I was distracted for a while."
"Oh, let's hear it."
Zhao Xing and Su Mo walked and chatted.
So Su Mo briefly described the conversation with those people just now.
Zhao Xing laughed and said:
"Although the real situation is different from what they said, it is not the same.
The Wan Yao Kingdom is not someone who can bully its superiors casually.
In order for them to hand over the culprit and pay compensation.
The head of the group and their current state masters palmed each other. "
Su Mo was shocked:
"Are you okay?"
"Since you are willing to pay compensation, then of course it will be fine."
Zhao Xing said with a sassy smile:
"Don't look at the head of the group who was promoted to a saint at such a young age. His strength is not bad at all. Even if he faces a veteran saint who has practiced for many years, he will not necessarily lose. The king of Wan Yao Kingdom bullied him when he was young, but he never I think the head of the group frightened him after making a move, or you thought he would bow his head so easily?"
Su Mo praised:
"Captain Yuan is really a role model for my generation."
Zhao Xing continued:
"As for the so-called tacit understanding among the saints, that also exists. I wonder if you have heard of the "Holy Covenant"?"
Holy Covenant?
Su Mo always felt that this word was very familiar.
Zhao Xing continued to explain:
"The war between the two worlds was not as orderly as it is now, but full of chaos.
Today our sages rushed into your group and killed them indiscriminately.
Tomorrow, your sage will rush into the supernatural beings in my house and kill all directions.
After several rounds, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
On the contrary, the saints did not fall a few.
In the end, it was the saint from the source world who was the first to be unable to sit still.
Although they have a big family and a big business, they can't help spending so much.
In order to prevent this from happening, so as not to ruin the foundation of the ethnic group.
Saints from both sides came to the negotiating table and concluded a covenant with the power of the most powerful rules.
This covenant is the Holy Covenant.
The covenant stipulated that neither saint should arbitrarily attack the clansmen below the other saint.
The saints want to divide the battlefield among the saints.
The saint cannot participate in the war below the saint, even if his side loses, he must admit it.
But when the saint is attacked by Xiaoxiao, he is allowed to fight back.
This can be regarded as limiting the saint's infringement on the weak to the greatest extent.
Of course, you should not think that this covenant is all based on self-consciousness and has no binding force on the saints.
In fact, at the time of the initial agreement, these regulations were recognized by heaven and earth.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are now part of the rules.
Any saint who dares to violate the most holy covenant will suffer a huge backlash.
Not only may he no longer be able to comprehend the law, but he may be severely injured and even fall on the spot.
It depends on the extent to which the covenant is violated.
Since then, the **** battlefield has become a battlefield among saints.
And no saint has ever intervened in the borderlands.
Even if there are many saints who actually sit in the nearby ethnic groups.
But they never made an appearance in Junction.
We can also pretend to be ignorant of their existence. "
Su Mo thought for a while, and asked:
"Then can this covenant also act as a restraint on the saints who are cultivating evil?"
"You're really sharp,"
Zhao Xing smiled and praised, and then said:
"Actually, some people were worried about this problem at the beginning, and felt that there might be no way to deal with it.
But even signing such an agreement with the source world is a good thing, at most it will be more precautionary against evil cultivators afterwards.
In the end, the covenant was signed, but no one expected that it would become a rule between heaven and earth.
In this way, even the saints who are cultivating evil, or the saints who do not agree with the covenant at all, have to hold their noses and admit it.
Unless they are willing to bear the backlash from the heaven and the earth, it is not something they can handle casually. "
Su Mo nodded, understanding the binding force of the covenant.
At this time, the two had also taken the elevator to the top floor.
Zhao Xing spoke on the edge of the screen and said:
"Captain, I brought Su Mo here."
"come on."
A faint voice came from behind the screen.
Zhao Xing made a "please" gesture to him, obviously not planning to go over.
Su Mo didn't hesitate, straightened his sleeves, and walked forward with his head held high.
Bypassing the screen, the interior furnishings are still as simple as before.
Yuan Huantian sat quietly on a black high-back chair.
It doesn't look like anything special.
Even compared to Zhun Shengshi, he looked more like an ordinary person.
Because of his eyes, there is no longer any abnormality.
On the contrary, it is as gentle as water, like a teacher with a kind attitude.
"Captain, are you looking for me?"
When he came to the front, looking at Yuan Huantian with a gentle expression, Su Mo tried hard to make a calm expression, but after the words came out, there was still an obvious vibrato at the end, obviously for Yuan Huantian's promotion to a saint. Quite restless.
Yuan Huantian seemed to see his nervousness, and smiled slightly:
"Just treat it as the same as before, don't pay too much attention to the quasi-holy saint.
Think about when you first met me, how much could you let go? He is obviously just a little guy of level 6, but he is neither humble nor overbearing when facing Zhunsheng.
Now, although I have been promoted to a saint, but you have also been promoted from level 6 to level 7, what is the difference between the gap between us and the first time we met?
There is no need to think too much. "
Su Mo thought the same, and it seemed to be the case.
It seemed to him that it was no big deal to be promoted to a saint.
Thinking of this, he relaxed and said with a smile:
"I can't help it. I've been listening to everyone talking about the sanctification of the leader along the way. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com seems to be the only one I don't know about the whole world. It's normal to be a bit restrained."
"To be honest, you knew about my promotion to a saint earlier than most people in the base. If you hadn't killed Chen Feiyu's residual spirit in advance, I might have gone to the Great Rift Valley There will be twists and turns."
Su Mo wanted to ask what happened in the Great Rift Valley, but then thought that even if he knew, it would be meaningless, at most it would be nothing more than gossip.
So he asked again:
"Did you call me here for something?"
Yuan Huantian turned his head slightly, and said with a smile:
"I've been here at Base 67 for a while."
Su Mo was slightly startled.
Yuan Huantian continued:
"You should have heard about the "Holy Covenant" from Zhao Xing, then you should also know that the saints own the battlefield among the saints, which is the **** battlefield.
For the source world, they don't have to go to the battlefield after they become holy, because there are so many of them, and there are people on the battlefield whether they go or not. They can choose to travel around, or choose to protect the ethnic group, or find a place to cultivate .
But we can't.
The number of saints among us humans is really too small.
Each one is extremely precious and is an extremely rare combat power.
So often there is not much time for them to adjust after sanctification.
We need to rush to the battlefield in time to support various positions and ensure that the front will not collapse.
So before I set off, I need to sort out all the remaining problems here.
Calling you over today, one of the plans is to solve your worries.
Remember what I promised you? When I am promoted to a saint, I will completely remove the imprint left by Hong Fu Meng Nu on your body.
Now is the time to deliver on that promise. "
