Chapter 23: the truth

Living in the dark, imagining that he is a rock, his breathing becomes longer, gentle, and gradually disappears, and even the heart beats slowly.
Gong Hao felt like a part of this darkness, silent, silent, a shadow-like existence.
Not only did his breath change, but even his skin changed.
After entering the initial stage of bronze, his skin will show a faint bluish color with the vindictive movement. But at this moment, the cyan gradually faded, and the skin color deepened instead.
If Lancelot was here, he would be exclaimed, because it was a precursor to his imminent entry into the Dark Iron Samurai stage.
Just by hiding, you can make yourself advanced, this kid does have some genius.
However, this is mainly because Gong Hao's behavior at this moment is in line with homeopathy.
Ten levels of the samurai represent ten levels. The first level is to strengthen, to put it plainly is to make yourself stronger. It seems that the wage earners are more powerful and have more work, which is naturally more popular than the less powerful ones. And entering the second stage is to take advantage of the trend. The so-called homeopathy is to start to understand the rules of things and learn to act in accordance with the rules. It seems that some of the flexible people in the wage earners start to understand how to do things according to the regulations, which is obviously more promising than selling dead energy.
Concealing himself in the darkness is in conformity with the heaven and earth. Gong Hao was afraid that the people in the valley would find himself, so he held his breath and met the requirements of this stage. In the past year, he has been dedicated, careful and cautious, and understands the situation well enough, so that in a short period of time, even if he has experienced less practice time than other samurai, It is for this reason that we can break through to the second level so quickly.
As the so-called "do more with less", I have mastered a good method and conformed to the requirements of cultivating the mind and body. The speed will naturally be much faster.
However, at this moment, Gong Hao has no intention to be happy for his own progress.
Because at this time, the castle in the distance suddenly burst into alarm.
"Master Pierre!" An apprentice shouted at the castle, "look!"
The people in the valley turned their attention to the castle outside the valley, and it can be seen that the castle seemed to be under some degree of attack at this moment.
This is the first time in twenty years of history on Purgatory Island.
The wind sent Pier's anxious words: "A few of you, come back to the castle with me at once. Neil, you stay and stay here, I will give you the sign of the commanding samurai. Before we return, don't Whatever you do, just stay here. "
"Yes, sir." The apprentice named Neil replied.
Several figures rushed past Gong Hao's side, but Gong Hao was not in a hurry to show up.
There were five continuous sounds over the sound trap, which was triggered by Pier and the four apprentices.
The number is correct.
Gong Hao smiled slightly, and then there were signs in the darkness.
He was like a wanderer, walking brightly in the valley.
"Shuigler? Why are you here?" Neil, who remained, exclaimed.
"Mr Neal, nice to meet you." Xiu Yi was as polite as ever.
"Xiu Yi, Xiu Yi! I'm here!" Fink not far away called out for help: "You really have to come, you really have to come and save me!"
"It's a shame." Neal shook his head helplessly. "It looks like you've discovered our secret."
"That's not hard to guess, right? Master Neal."
"That's right, Glair, you are much smarter than I thought, but I don't understand why you don't keep pretending?"
Gong Hao had a beautiful smile on his face: "My good friend is here, and I must come to rescue him."
"This is really stupid behavior. Smart people always do something stupid. It seems you have caused the chaos in the castle?"
"Just release a few Warcraft, they are too eager for freedom."
"Sure enough, it was you who planned it. You are dead, Hugh Glair." Neal confidently took out the sign from his body that could command the samurai warrior.
Gong Hao looked at the broken flesh and blood. During the day, these teenagers were still his working partners, but now they have lost their vitality.
Everyone but Fink is dead.
Then he looked up and looked at the apprentice and said, "No, Neil, it's all you planned."
In the dark valley, an apprentice and a servant chief confronted each other.
"Shuegler, I must say that you are the smartest and stupidest servant I have ever seen." Neal's tone was full of regret, and he shook the sign in his hand: "Andrew admired You, we like you too, and you are even protected by that little princess. If you kept silent like this, you wouldn't have died so soon. But you can't wait to stand up, which makes me I have to kill you. Even if the princess is sad, I'm afraid there is nothing else I can do. "
"But sooner or later, right?"
"Spirit has been planted. There is no way to do it, but we were going to make you the last person to be picked out."
"Well said, like a group of lambs to be slaughtered, the kindness of the owner is to kill the one who produces the most milk last."
"You should learn to be content, Glair."
"Can you tell me, why are you doing this?"
"Why?" Neal was surprised. "Do you ask me why? Do you still need to ask? You know that everything we do now is the greatest invention! Do you think any kind of experiment can be done by humans? You are wrong! All are great experiments! Each one represents the greatest achievement in alchemy! Do you know what the moire carving is? Do you know what the spirit type is? You do n’t know all. Think about using Their flesh and blood, soul and bones, and flesh and blood and undead puppets. These are just by-products of experimentation. Can you understand that we are making brilliant? This is contributing to the empire! Great contribution! You still Ask me why? This is ridiculous. "
"So kill? Are they all minors?"
"Oh, don't talk to me in this adult tone, are you an adult? You know that spiritual species need healthy and vibrant life, and young people are indeed much easier to manage than adults. Their sacrifice is They must be proud of a necessary contribution to be one of the most powerful weapons of the empire. "
"I don't mind letting you be part of those weapons, I hope you can be proud of it."
Neil grinned: "Glare, you still haven't figured out the status quo. Do you think the alchemist is good? No, you are wrong. Maybe I should show you, even an apprentice, not A servant can easily handle it. "
With that, he waved with one hand.
Not far away, a few samurai warriors strode over. Neil proudly said.
There is a samurai warrior here, and Neil has every reason to believe that he can handle this secretly sabotage boy.
"Glair, if you have any last words, let's hurry up. I hope everything can be settled before Lord Pierre returns."
"Just a few small questions."
"Then you're in luck, I happen to be in a good mood."
"What the is that? I don't believe the alchemist can create such an evil life."
"That wasn't something we created. We just discovered it. That's what happened after we came to Purgatory Island. We accidentally discovered that there is a different dimension door in the central area of ​​Purgatory Island."
"Door of another dimension?"
"That's right." Neil grinned. "I didn't expect it? There is a different dimension door on Purgatory Island that leads to the abyss world. It is a terrible world, full of storms of destruction everywhere. The whole world is full of It is a piece of scorched earth, and all the life in it is extremely powerful. Spirit species are found near the gates of different dimensions. We think that this kind of thing is likely to be a monster from the abyss. They are cruel, cruel, killer, and importantly they are powerful However, they can only grow through parasitism. Just as flesh-and-blood maggots and undead maggots need fresh life, and the moire test can only be performed on the human body, so Master Heins made this plan himself. Let the empire send a group of young servants every month, and we secretly put the demons into your body through diet, and let them grow in your body until they are taken out one day. You must know that they are better than flesh and blood.傀儡 A stronger existence, they have the power of a third-level samurai from birth, but the important thing is that they can cultivate. "
"Can practice?" Gong Hao was shocked.
"Yes, I have said that they are not the puppets we created, but the life that is unique to the abyss. We call them demons. Since demons are intelligent beings, they can of course be cultivated. They are cruel by nature and love fighting. With a little training, they can become the best killing machines. They have a natural resistance to fighting, and are good at hiding and melee attacks. They are extremely fast and are the best assassin killers. As long as they are willing, even the Star Warrior ca n’t. Perceive them. "
Difficult to find them? Good at hiding assassin warriors. No wonder you can't find the existence of the spirit species in your inner vision, it turns out that they naturally have this talent.
But most importantly, according to Neil, each spirit species is a third-level warrior from birth, and after training, it will become a more powerful existence.
An assassin with five to six samurai power ... Gong Hao knew what it meant. The entire continent does not even have a large-scale army that can be composed of warriors above six levels, and now the Lance Empire has, and it has more powerful assassin fighters than ordinary fighters of the same rank.
No wonder they can sweep everything!
"But it's a pity." Neil shook his head. "There aren't many spirit species. The energy storm of the gate of the other dimension is too powerful, and no life can easily enter and exit there. At first, only those who scattered around the gate of the other dimension were collected If the spirit species can enter the abyss, there may be even greater discoveries. "
"So how did they appear near the door? Did they come by themselves?"
"No one knows. There are too many mysteries in this world that humans need to explore on their own. For the Reims, these spirits are the gifts of gods and the weight that makes the empire strong. Otherwise ... Glair, do you think Can the Lance Empire easily defeat the surrounding countries with just a few ordinary samurai warriors? No, because there are better weapons available here. "
"So there's another question. Why don't you let anyone live here for more than a year?"
"Do you still need to ask?" Neal shrugged and laughed: "Of course I don't want you to discover the problem. People live here for a long time and there will always be doubts. They only doubted at first, but they will act later. You know You were n’t without smart people before. So Andrew later made rules that do n’t allow anyone to stay here for too long to avoid needless losses. You are the only exception, repair Iglesias, but you will be the last One exception. After I killed you today, I believe that neither Master Heinz nor Lord Andrew will show mercy to any servants. "
Then Neil waved the sign in his hand: "I've said everything I need to say, so now you can die with that guy Fink. It's a pity that I like yours tonight ... especially you helped me out of that nasty clerk's job. But now, I can only kill you. I hope Lord Pierre will not let me go back to the library, so that place is boring. "
"Kill him." Neil ordered.
To his surprise, the samurai warrior did not move.
"I said kill him!" Neal yelled at the samurai warrior beside him.
"Without wasting energy, they simply cannot do what you say."
Neal turned back, glaring at Gong Hao: "Greer, what have you done to them?"
"You know I can't come without any preparation." Gong Hao answered lightly, and he walked over to untie Fink's rope.
As soon as he was put down, Fink burst into his arms and wept: "Oh my god, it's terrible. They are the devil! They killed Kip, Bowman, Fischer, and killed everyone! Everyone is dead. "
"Yes, everyone is dead, including Thacker, Heather, many, many people. All the people they took away are dead. Fink, now you understand why I want you to do things right?"
"You should have told me earlier." Fink looked at Gong Hao with tears in his eyes.
Gong Hao sighed: "You are only twelve years old, Fink, I don't want you to experience it all too soon. It's too cruel for a child."
Although he was not very old, after all, it was only Xiu'ailaier's body. For Gong Hao, his mentality was already an adult. Gong Hao patted Fink's back lightly: "I don't want you to know, so at least in your life this year, you don't have to be careful every night like me. For you, that will It ’s painful torture. I just want to protect you. "
Fink held Gong Hao unwilling to let go for a second.
Gong Hao said softly: "Fink, don't be nervous. I'm out of breath when you hold it. Since you weren't dead just now, you won't even die now. Listen to me. After a while I'll take you out of here. In the jungle not far from the port, I built a raft there. The raft is very rude and can only seat one person. I also put some water and food. You can go there to find the raft Push it down to the sea, and then you desperately paddle in one direction. Remember, as long as you don't give up, you can always find land. As long as you land, you can survive. "
That was originally prepared by Gong Hao. Once Andrew didn't intend to make an exception for him, the raft would come in handy. But there is no need to stay now.
"how about you?"
"Relax, you don't need to worry about me."
Neil yelled not far away: "Greer, how did you do that?"
He wondered why he couldn't control the puppet warriors.
Gong Hao tilted his head slightly and glanced at Neil: "It's weird, right? I'm obviously not an alchemist, why can't you control the samurai?"
He gently pushed Fink away and walked towards Neil: "Remember the time when the little princess came? I was once fortunate to have the command of the samurai warrior temporarily. I am indeed not an alchemist, and I do not know how to make a samurai warrior I do n’t know what that command is doing. But it does n’t prevent me from studying its composition.

"Damn, you already had a premeditate! I knew I couldn't give you any of these cheap gangsters!" Neal yelled, "But I don't understand how you do it. You don't understand alchemy at all. Even if it is given to you, you can't crack it! Even Master Pierre can't do this! "
"Yes, I can't crack it, but why do I have to crack it?" Gong Hao asked with a smile: "I found that the conductor is made of a special material, which I see in the book However, it can establish a connection through energy. And then use the magic array on the sign to communicate specific commands. "
Gong Hao looked at Neil with a smile in his eyes: "So I realized that in addition to using imitation command signs, robbing control, or directly destroying the samurai warrior, there are some other methods that can achieve the goal. I chose the simplest one, which interferes with the energy fluctuations of the space through an item with a strong energy, so that the connection between the order and the samurai can be directly interrupted. Of course, if your order is not communicated, they will certainly not do it. Look, it's not difficult. Destruction is always easier than construction, right? Making an invention requires efforts in various aspects, and to destroy an invention, you only need to destroy one of them. It seems like a compact machine, hitting it with gravity may not work, but unscrewing one of its screws can make it fall apart ... Although this method of energy interference is not perfect, it can only be used in the controller's It is not suitable for use on the battlefield, or even for prepared people, but it is enough for the current situation. "
His left hand turned slightly, revealing the bright red and translucent agate.
"Look, this is a very precious ore brought to me by my friend Liberty, blood agate, and it can do it."
Just after Neil called in the samurai warrior, Gong Hao used this thing to release a strong space energy interference. Unless Neil and the Samurai are both a certain distance from him, he cannot command the Samurai.
"I knew I shouldn't make an exception for you. You are such a genius, Glyer, you can think of such a simple method." Neil sighed. "You, who have never learned alchemy, have invented a countermeasure yourself. The samurai method. If given you a chance, you may become the greatest alchemist. "
"Unfortunately you don't give it, so I'll take it myself."
Neal froze: "You want to learn alchemy? Don't you want to save Fink and escape?"
"Who said ... My purpose is to escape?"
Gong Hao raised his head slightly, his eyes showed a sense of coldness, and the next moment, his spirit filled his whole body.
"My purpose is to kill you all," he said coldly.
