Vol 42 Chapter 34: :slate

Inside the cathedral, four ‘good teammates’ sat around the round table. Among them, Wood spoke first and asked:
"Bai Ye, have you got four source stones?"
"Correct."
"let me see?"
"..."
Su Xiao raised his left hand with the Black King's armguard, and as a burst of dark energy emerged on his arm, a stream of pure black spar gradually converged in his hand, and finally traced back to the source stone.
The reason why he was able to do this was because he discovered that it was not so much that the Black King's Armguards absorbed the source stone, but rather the source stone was set on it in a special way.
If the source stone were absorbed, five source stones would have been incomplete for so many generations of selected candidates, even if each person's proof only absorbed half of it, that would not be enough.
After receiving the source stone thrown by Su Xiao, Wood took out a few very dated items, a strangely shaped balance, a loupe, and a small steelyard dragged by the skeleton.
"If there is a corresponding special energy, that large piece of star core stone has a significant effect on talent."
Su Xiao spoke. Hearing what he said, Wood, who was identifying the source stone, stopped. Sin Yass on the side also looked at the star-core stone on the "sacrifice altar."
"Similar to Talent Awakening?"
Sin Yass, of course, knows that talent abilities can be awakened. Although the Falling Star he is on is not as intuitive as the paradise camp, there are ways to awaken talents, and they can be awakened once and twice.
"No, it's more like an increase in volume."
Su Xiao pointed his finger on the teacup in front of him, and the crystals spread upward along the mouth of the teacup, increasing the capacity of the teacup by nearly one-third.
With such a concise and intuitive description, Wood and Sin Yas certainly understand the degree of gain it represents.
But what's interesting is that Caesar has no interest in the star core stone, because there are so many people competing for it, and secondly, it is not used, and finally, even if it is obtained, it will have all kinds of troubles when it is sold.
Compared with the star core stone, Caesar is more interested in the source of darkness, which is easy to carry and easy to trade.
In addition to the star-core stone, Su Xiao also speculated that there are really black maple tree species in the dead city, but it is not the first-generation tree species produced in the abyss as he said, but the initial tree species grows the mother tree, and the mother tree is condensed. Tree species.
It can be said that 99.9999% of the output of black maple trees in circulation is the output brought about by the cultivation of black maple trees from such tree species.
The black maple tree of Arcane Eternal Star is, so is the one at the bottom of Black Abyss, so is the one at the bottom of Dragon Dragon, and the same is what Su Xiao owns.
The mother tree of these four black maple trees came from the Fa-killing camp. Now that mother tree is still alive. It was originally in the "land of the beginning and the end", but after being remembered by Su Xiao for a long time, it was transferred to There were a lot of soul trees, and Su Xiao happened to be there for a while later, and now he didn't know where the mother tree was transferred by the old extinction method.
The current situation is that another mother tree appears in the dead city. Although this mother tree is dead, is it a tree species left behind?
If there is a tree species left, where will it be? Saved in the treatment center? It's very uninsurable, and besides this kind of treasure, the treatment center really does not have the qualification to store it.
With the style of healing the church, these lunatics, who even the ancient gods dared to encircle them, have taken blood for blood and repaying grace to the extreme.
If the mother tree really leaves a tree seed, the healing church will only be left to one type of person, the one who has solved the problem of the Silent City.
To solve the problem of the Silent City, that is, to clear the dead energy here forever, there is actually only one place that must be visited, that is, the Supreme Sanctuary, such as Saint Ten Church, Wolf Tomb, etc., all in order to enter the Supreme Sanctuary prepare.
Judging this way, if the Healing Church really has tree seeds, they can only store the tree seeds in the Supreme Sanctuary.
Su Xiao succinctly stated the conjecture he had thought of. After hearing this conjecture, Sin Yas and Wood were both lost in thought.
"White night, are you sure that the mother tree of the black maple tree will produce tree species?"
"Ok."
"This...is there any clear evidence."
Sin Yas frowned, but Wood on the side didn't have any suspicion. He believed more than 70% of Su Xiao's words.
"The empty black maple mother tree was cultivated by the ancestors. I have seen that mother tree. Unfortunately, an old guy looked at the mother tree."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Sin Yass suddenly felt. He looked at Wood and found that Wood's expression remained the same. It was obvious that he had known that there was a black maple mother tree before the law-killing camp.
Su Xiao's way of unifying the interests of his ‘good teammates’ is very simple. First take out the visible benefits, which is the star core stone, plus he used this thing to improve his talent an hour ago. This is the best proof.
It is not enough to have the benefits that can be seen. It is safe to add a larger benefit, and the value of the benefits that may be obtained must be high, and the source and existence may be reliable enough.
If before coming to Silent City, Sin Yas and Wood would not take risks for this possibility. The problem is that Su Xiao said before that there are black maple trees and black maple trees in Silent City. Even the mother tree has it.
This made Sin Yass and Wood wonder if Su Xiao had reliable information. He had known the information about the black maple tree in the dead city for a long time, and knew that the mother tree here had withered, so he used this as an excuse to attract cannon fodder to help share the burden. Risk from the Silent City.
"This round, I will join."
Sin Yass expressed his stance, and Wood put down his teacup and said he would join as well. All three of them looked at Caesar.
"I'm a little busy recently…"
"We want to open the Supreme Sanctuary. The Supreme Sanctuary was a place of pilgrimage for the "sect" and a place where treasures are kept. There are at least three treasure houses there. "
Su Xiao was not slanderous. The archbishop had mentioned this when he was in High Wall City. At that time, the archbishop was very sober.
"Even if I'm a bit busy lately, I can't delay business!"
Caesar smiled wickedly, as if he would do his best to save the Silent City. He actually heard about all the treasures of the Supreme Saint.
The interests of the four "good teammates" successfully reached an agreement. After confirming this, Wood said: "Since we have reached the inner city, the cathedral has a teleportation device leading to the treatment center, as usual, it is time to clear the venue."
Hearing this, Sin Yas agreed, his eyes turned to Gulu, and he said with a smile: "Two, are you going to join us or leave?"
Sin Yas laughed easy-going and friendly.
"Of course join."
How smart is Gulu, she can be sure that if she says she wants to leave now, Su Xiao will not be able to do anything because of the group leader's affection. As for the other two old yin beeps, that is, the tentacle monster and the skull, she will definitely be put to death. , So as not to miss the news.
Gulu also sat at the round table, seemingly calm, but in fact he was still a little flustered, and asked, what should I do if I join a team with four old yin beeps, wait online, and is very anxious.
After Su Xiao, Sin Yass, Wood, and Caesar discussed, they had a preliminary plan, first of all about the origin, the initial source stone, and the final finished source stone.
Known information is that the huge "source" is sealed in the highest sanctuary. Compared with the risky risk, the highest sanctuary is opened at this stage, and the point is to figure out what the "source" of death is.
Su Xiao has a certain understanding of the history of the Underdark Continent, and Sin Yas, Wood, and Caesar have each learned some secrets after entering this place, and Caesar has discovered the most.
Speaking of it, Su Xiao now has to give Caesar some thanks. After arriving in the inner city of Silent City, the other party originally intended to stir up the abyssal creatures in the dark area of ​​this place, and the contradiction with the dead people in the inner city, so that the two sides would fight together to make money benefit.
However, this plan failed. It was not that Caesar’s ability was insufficient, but that behind the dead people and the creatures of the abyss, there were two huge consciousnesses that restrained them and did not engage in a large-scale melee. Therefore, no matter how you instigate them, they will all be there. Can't fight.
The failure of this plan, in addition to the fact that the creatures of the abyss will not save wealth, resources, etc., in the end Caesar can only collect a large amount of dark matter and leave, and it is impossible for him to return empty-handed.
The reason why I said to give Caesar some thanks is because the other party went to the ancient laboratory after leaving the dark zone. Other people would not put the steel maker in, but they encountered such a thing as a demigod steel maker. , Was also disgusting by this guy.
When we first met, Caesar sneaked into the ancient laboratory, where it could block outsiders, but it was still very difficult to block Caesar who was able to unite the human tank. This was the result of Caesar’s abandoning the powerful combat power of the human tank. The extreme gain.
In other words, the combat power brought by the unity of human tanks is not needed by Caesar. He can't fight, nor does he need to fight. Abandon this part in exchange for other strengths, which is more suitable for Caesar. Gain.
After the steelmaker discovered the intruder, the steelmaker didn't directly kill this thing. Of course, he realized how difficult the Abyss Jar was.
The steelmaker carried Caesar, like kicking a ball, kicking Caesar out of the underground laboratory.
Caesar, who was kicked out, timidly walked away. An hour later, he came back sneakily, then took off his shoes and threw it into the underground laboratory. Half a minute later, there was a steelmaker inside. Yelled.
From then on, Caesar and the steelmaker reached a'reconciliation'. The steelmaker allowed Caesar to enter the ancient laboratory. The condition was that if Caesar dared to throw his shoes at his house, he would spare this old life and have to fight with Caesar. Up.
In fact, the steelmaker is not disgusted with Caesar. He has been in prison for too long. Suddenly encountering this wretched and treacherous guy, he feels both good and funny. If you want to talk about hatred, it is difficult for the steelmaker to deal with people. To get revenge, he lived for too long, until some things hadn't been cared anymore.
Just because he was able to enter the ancient laboratory, Caesar took the opportunity to slip to the battlefield of the abyss and met Eminem. At that time, Eminem was in a very bad state. The treacherous Caesar made a rare loss. His heart was bleeding. He gave him free of charge. With a few bottles of high-quality recovery potions for Eminem, Eminem survived that stage of difficulty.
It was also because of these potions that Eminem managed to support the second batch of resources sent to him by the old man, nearly a hundred bottles of recovery potions, and the power of the world.
Before, Caesar was going to come to Su Xiao and inform him of Su Xiaoam’s location and situation, but he met the old man on the way. After the two parties had a polite exchange, Caesar knew that Su Xiao already knew about Eminem’s situation. He also commissioned the old man to send supplies, and then returned the supplies.
"There are many secrets in the Dark Continent, which are recorded on several stone slabs. It is said that these stone slabs are also the key to opening the treasury of the Supreme Sanctuary."
Caesar opened his mouth and chewed the tea in his mouth while talking. This is the tea Su Xiao invited. Although it is not black maple tea, it is brewed with Eternal Spring. With Caesar’s temper, he will feel very bad if he doesn’t chew the tea. deficit.
"Slate? What's the news?"
Wood said, this kind of important information must have enough reliable sources.
"What the steelmaker said, although he knows everything, he doesn't tell me."
"So, where are these slates?"
Sin Yass said that these slabs are not only the keys to the treasure house, but the things recorded on them are also particularly important, such as what is the "source" of deathly silence.
Only by knowing this can Su Xiao, Wood, and Caesar be able to imitate the source stone. As for Sin Yas, he is not good at this aspect, and there will be areas he is good at later that he needs to deal with.
"Compared to the slate, the key to the Supreme Sanctuary is the key. It is the building that the Healing Church gathers the power of an era and is sealed off. Don't even think about it without the key..."
Just halfway through what Sin Yas said, Su Xiao took out the key of the sanctuary and put it on the table.
"You really are there, Bai Ye."
Sin Yass took the key of the sanctuary, observed it a few times, and put it on the table again.
‘Guru, Guru! Go and touch the key, quickly, just touch it, no need to drop the bag, and it won't be damaged, just touch it, the chance of making a fortune is right in front of you. ’
The sound of the hymn appeared in Gulu's mind. Gulu held the tea cup in both hands. After drinking a sip of hot tea, he raised his hand to pick up the key of the sanctuary, but Wood was a step faster than her and took the key first.
"Sorry."
Wood smiled back and put down the key, indicating that Guru could look at it first, but when Guru was about to take it, Caesar happened to pick up the key.
"Hey? This, this, you first."
Caesar put down the keys of the sanctuary, and Guru raised his hand again, but suddenly, her movements froze, and just now they talked about the natural sins of Yas, Wood, Su Xiao, and Caesar. At this moment, they looked at her blankly. Four pairs of deep, oppressive eyes stared at her.
"So, is it you, or the soul body in your consciousness space, has something to do with the key of the sanctuary?"
Sin Yass looked at Gulu with a smile.
‘Not good! ’
Gulu grinned reluctantly, the hymn in her consciousness space was also very nervous, the two of them were just a little impatient, and they were noticed.
It seems that Gulu didn't speak, but in her consciousness, she and the hymn had already begun to communicate quickly. The content was:
Hymn: "Guru, you find a way to get past it."
Grumbling: "Fart
Fart! Four old yin beeps, how can I be fooled?!"
Hymn: "Then try to find a way, I can't find your father,"
Gulu: "It's okay to make jokes at ordinary times. At this time, it's useless to call Dad or Grandpa, and the hymn, what on earth do you have, let me touch the key."
Hymn: "I have... a church slab. Otherwise, do you think my brain is sick? I choose to come to the Dark Continent. After the slate is automatically activated, I can't think about coming to the Dark Continent, otherwise Deadly Silence will find me."
Guru: "I lost it, take it out quickly!"
Hymn: "Don't take it first, the old yin beeps, you think of a way to deal with it."
Guru: "I you..."
…
"Little children speak less swearing."
Wood suddenly spoke. Hearing this, Gulu was shocked. She asked tentatively: "Can you know what I'm thinking?"
"Of course not, but you and the soul body called the hymn are communicating with the spirit. This is different from thinking. Thinking is your inner heart, brain, spirit, etc., which are determined by a chain, and outsiders cannot detect it, but with your hymn There will be a unique wavelength to confess with spirit."
After Wood gave Guru a brief introduction to the difference between "thinking" and "mental communication", the corners of Guru's mouth twitched. At this moment, she wanted to say: ‘The four of you, you are really versatile. ’
"Guru, don't worry, Bai Ye can pull away the soul body in your consciousness space, and I can bring that soul body enough pain to let her hand over the church slate."
Sin Yas took out an apple-sized meat ball, and he squeezed it with one hand, and the translucent worms inside were squeezed out. These worms were about 1 cm long, the rice grains were thick, and the whole body was covered with tiny eyes and the mouth was a circle. The finely ringed tines are wriggling and twisting at this moment.
In terms of torturing the soul, Sin Yas claimed the first place in the team, and no one refused to accept it.
A slab of 20 cm long and 3 cm thick suddenly appeared, and was caught by Su Xiao while it was falling.
[You get church slabs. 】
[Reminder: There are four pieces of this type of slate. After the splicing is complete, the content recorded above will be visible. 】
[The contents of the church slabs are: important history of the world, five initial stigmata, and imprints of gods. 】
[Reminder: This is a special item in the world, it must drop after death. 】
…
Seeing these tips, Su Xiao finally knew why the leader of the Steam God Cult, the Duke, came to Silent City. The other party did not plot important historical records or stigmata, but the imprint of the gods.
The Duke wants to become a demigod like a steelmaker, and this is the ultimate goal of his adventure to the Silent City.
"This thing is the church slate? That thing is easier to handle."
Sin Yas gave birth to a black tentacle in the palm of his hand. After that, the tentacle split and turned into black fluid, drawing a map on the table.
"I've been idle lately, so I explored how many people came to the inner city, but I didn't know if I didn't explore it. It's more lively than we thought."
Sin Yass pointed to the tabletop, and a group of black fluid turned into the outlines of four small human figures. He introduced:
"This is the Duke, Cain, Luger, and the snow monster. We temporarily call this the Duke team. They have a church slab in their hands."
"How to confirm the news?"
"I joined them yesterday and was later expelled from the team."
Sin Yass shook his head regretfully, and can only say that the Duke's team that hurts each other shouldn't sin Yass. It can be seen that except for a few ‘good teammates’, everyone else is afraid of this guy.
Sin Yas continued to introduce: "In addition to the Duke team, there is also the Ravens team."
Sin Yass referred to the Crows as the Moonlight Maid, Crank, the Mechanical Dominator, and the Crow Girl. The three of them are led by the Crow Girl because the current Crow Girl is not easy to provoke.
"By the way Wood, do you remember the Necronomicon Book."
Hearing what Sin Yas said, Wood's faint green pupils condensed, he more than remembered that it was the "Wild Father" who had just left the Devil Race.
"Yes, you guessed it right, the book of the necromancer is on the crow girl."
Hearing this sentence, Wood looked to Su Xiao.
"..."
Su Xiao took a sip of tea without speaking.
"The Crows also have church slabs. Before the Duke and Crows team met and were ready to cooperate, it was because both sides had church slabs. Unfortunately, I was recognized by the crows."
There was a bit of regret in Sin Yas's tone.
This church slab was probably kept by the Maid of Moonlight. Su Xiao failed to take the Maid of Moonlight in the St. Ten Church, and naturally did not get this church slab.
In this way, three of the four church slabs know whereabouts. In fact, if you don’t want to man-made the source stone, you don’t need to look for the church slab to learn the origin of death.
"I know where the last piece is."
Wood opened his mouth, and everyone else turned to him. His fingers touched the table, and the faint green smoke eroded the wooden table top, engraving a person's appearance on it.
"This is Stigma Teacher Worm, the enemy of Great Sage Tulz..."
After Wood's narration, Su Xiao understood the situation. After the death of the Great Sage Tulz, there was chaos in the high wall city.
It was supposed to be Mrs. Yan who became the leader of the High Wall City, but due to the academic school's choice, there was a change. They released Worm, who had been trapped in prison.
Worm was imprisoned because his philosophy was diametrically opposed to the Great Sage Tulz. In the past, the two sides had been hostile.
The Great Sage Toulz is trying to seal the Silent City. Whether the first saint, the wolf knight, or the chant group, the Great Sage Toulz doesn’t believe it. In his opinion, the Silent City has been for so many years. The problem is still not solved, we should abandon the tradition of the elected and choose a new direction.
It is also because of the great sage Toulz’s doubts about the healing church and the challenge to the system at that time that the city has a high wall today. It is inevitable that there will be mistakes in evaluating the great sage Toulz with right or wrong, good or bad. Fair.
The stigmata teacher Worm has another view, because he should continue to go deep into the Silent City, find four church slabs, and use the five initial stigmas on the top, as well as the power of the imprint of the gods, and the power of strength, and the imprint of the gods. , Feng Lin gave out a new demigod.
Under the leadership of the demigod, coupled with the power of the initial stigmata, he constantly challenged the Silent City. As long as it hasn't perished, you can't give up. Blocking the Silent City seems to get a moment of peace, but it will be sooner or later that the silence will erode the ban. Thing.
Right now, Stigma Teacher Worm did not stay in the High Wall City as a leader, but brought a few strong men who were willing to follow him, and came to Dead Silent City·Inner City with the remaining refuge stones in the High Wall City.
Wood's guess is that the reason why Stigma Teacher Worm is so persistent on the church slab is because the other party has a church slab.
After the four Su Xiao sorted out the information, it was already obvious what to do next, not only getting the other three church slabs, but also clearing the scene.
Su Xiao and others don't care about the situation in Dead Silent City and the outer city, but the inner city must be cleared. No one wants to suddenly rush out of a group of people to disrupt the situation when fighting a strong enemy.
"The Duke, the Ravens, the Worm, choose one of three, which team shall we deal with first?"
Wood puts a king chess piece on the table. If you look closely, you will find that he has already made twelve pieces at some unknown time. These pieces are the stigmata teacher Worm, the duke, the crow girl and others. The image, facial details, etc. are all vivid.
"The Duke Team."
Su Xiao always felt that the Duke had become different from before, more dangerous, and more difficult to calculate.
"agree."
"I have no opinion."
"I can do anything."
After Caesar said, everyone looked at Gollum, which made Gollum a little surprised and asked, "I can also propose? I was not forced to join, and you wouldn't believe me."
"You provided church slabs."
Su Xiao’s words surprised Gulu and initially realized the fun of joining the'good teammates' team for the time being, but what she didn't know was that this experience was incomplete, and joining the'good teammates' team didn't make it. A back stabbing, it was all in vain.
"Now that it's decided, let's start."
Wood placed the twelve king chess pieces neatly, and then looked at Caesar.
Caesar didn't know when he had already buckled the jar of the abyss, the jar of man was one, he put one hand on the bottom of the wooden table, and the tabletop was covered by the rich darkness.
"Ah, I need some soul power."
Wood coughed softly and said, Sin Yas on the side seemed to be deaf, completely ignoring this sentence, letting him take out the soul crystal, it was no different from stabbing him.
"..."
Su Xiao took out a soul crystal (large), after taking a bite, he put the rest on the table.
I saw Wood press one hand on the table, and the four chess pieces on the table moved by themselves. These four chess pieces represented the Duke, Kain, Luge, and Snow Monster.
When all four chess pieces stopped, Woodshutter pressed it up, and the black fog on the table gradually formed the shape of a building. He asked, "Which building is this?"
"Therapy."
Su Xiao has been there a few hours ago, and naturally he will not forget the appearance of the treatment center.
"Give an approximate direction."
Sin Yas spoke.
"The high tower in the center of the inner city, north of Wolf Tomb and east of St. Ten Church, the central dimension is..."
Su Xiao located the location of the treatment center according to the location where Sin Yas had been. Black tentacles spread out from Sin Yas's cuffs. These black tentacles first turned into semi-fluid, and then disappeared.
After more than 10 minutes, Sin Yas opened his eyes and said, "Find four of them, in such a building."
Sin Yas pressed a virtual button on the desktop, and a building made of black fog appeared.
"This is a building a few hundred meters north of the treatment center. I've been there."
Caesar gave a more precise position, so that the Duke team tracked successfully.
"The Duke's ability is to explode and decompose. Fighting him in a confined environment will have a higher risk."
Su Xiao said part of the Duke's ability, no matter how specific, he didn't know.
"I can get them out."
Caesar spoke, very confident.
"Then I will make them unable to escape, and even if they escape, I can track them in real time."
Sin Yass also expressed his stance.
"I went to find the Ravens nearby. The Duke and the Ravens are working together. Even if they are not together, they won't be far away from each other."
It can only be said that Wood has never missed any details in terms of details, but the Crow Girl was targeted by the Necronomicon Book. Wood should avoid it. He found it at this time. It was obvious that there was a hidden secret. I wanted to come. The Devil Race and Death. Among the books of spirit, there are secrets that outsiders don't know.
"I was responsible for killing the duke."
Su Xiao also stated that he did not need to participate in the preliminary work, and when others created a good enough opportunity, he could kill the Duke, and he would be guilty of Yas’s assistance, although this dog thief looked like he was going to be lazy.
Witnessing all these grunts, she didn’t say anything. The only thing she felt at the moment was that you were too proficient and hadn’t left the cathedral, where the ducal team was, and the topography of the building, as well as how to deal with them. All arrangements were made clearly. Chu, just order a coffin for the duke.
A group of people came to the small room of the cathedral and activated the transmission device there. When the surrounding mist dissipated, the group had reached the second floor of the treatment center.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao, Sin Yas, Wood, Caesar, Guru, and Baha were already on the top of a tower over 30 meters high, overlooking the two-story building half a kilometer away. The four dukes were in that building.
One of the benefits of being in Silent City is that you don't have to worry about being perceived by the enemy at a long distance. This ghost place, the perception range of the Perception System is less than five meters, and the perception of Silent Energy is eroded too severely.
After a while, Caesar sneaked down the tower and approached the two-story building where the Duke's four were located. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Bubowang was just a few meters away to help him explore the wind and grass.
Soon, Caesar arrived next to the building where the Duke's four were located. This building looked very good. Although the doors and windows were old, they were all kept intact, except for the gray dust on the windows.
Caesar was fighting against the wall, and he could even hear the Duke and others talking in the first floor of the small building, as to how to force these four out.
Caesar lifted up on one foot and took off his shoes. This was not finished. He took out the vials and poured into the shoes a dozen suspicious substances such as yellow powder and snot-like sticky substance.
"Oh~"
Caesar himself retched silently. Boubowan, who was a few meters away, had retreated long ago. At the moment, he was in an alley 100 meters away, retching a little in shock.
Beside the building, Caesar took out a match, slipped it on the sole of his shoe, and lit a flame with a bang. He threw the match into the shoe in his hand.
Shout! The flame in the shoes rose more than three meters high, he opened the window with one hand, and threw the shoes in with the other, and finally closed the window smoothly.
Boom!
A muffled sound came from the small building, and after a few seconds, the small building was deadly quiet.
"Wow!!"
A stern cry came from the small building on the second floor, and then a figure smashed the door of the room and rushed out, together with the billowing smoke coming out of the door.
Luge almost crawled out, his eyes were so hot that he couldn't stop crying, he was breathing fresh air, but at this moment, another burning shoe flew towards him.
Boom!
A large plume of smoke exploded like a smoke bomb, and the deer inside stood still and fell into a coma.
Immediately afterwards, Kain wearing a gas mask rushed out of the building. From the erratic and occasionally shifting steps, it can be seen that he should feel bad at the moment.
