Starting from Zero

"Hello? Purple Moon? Why are we holding our breath?" Eagle followed me to ask the reason, but I opened the door and walked in.

This one here is the main meeting room, which is not only large in size, but also connected to a small square-like artificial grass flat behind it. I opened the door and went in without seeing any representatives. There were only a dozen Dark God Palace guards standing in the room. The rest of the guards should have been taken to other rooms by our people. After all, the envoy impossible brought hundreds of guards and me. negotiation.

The crystal door on the opposite side of the room is open. You can easily see three people standing beside the spring in the middle of the lawn outside. You don't need to guess that they are the envoy of Dark God Palace and the reception staff on our side. I glanced in the room and walked over to the lawn. When the people outside saw me, they all turned around.

"President." The player in charge of the reception saw me and ran over.

"I'll take care of it here, you should go out first."

The player nodded who was receiving left, I walked to the two envoys and stopped. The appearance of the two envoys was obviously human, but their pale faces indicated that they were no longer alive. The two undead were a man and a woman, and the women looked so-so, but on the contrary, the man was quite handsome. Judging from the imposing manner, this man should be the main character, and the woman is probably a character like an attendant or assistant.

"Sorry, something has been delayed." Of course, you must be polite first when you are late.

The two envoys didn't seem to care about my lateness, and they went straight to the topic. "Purple Moon is so brave to command you. The destruction of the Dark God Palace has not been explained to the temple. Now even the demons are destroyed."

hehe! Al Ni was indeed the same Al Ni, and only her men would have such an arrogant attitude. "What is the envoy? Although Isengard is destroyed, it is not what I want. Besides, you have also seen that the new Isengard is basically completed. I don't understand what the temple means."

"Isinger and Demon are two concepts, please don’t confuse them. After the original one, Isinger and Demon are completely destroyed, the one you rebuild is only Isinger, it is no longer a demon. It's all."

"Huh?" I was stunned by his words. Why does it sound like Isengard and Demon are not the same thing?

The woman said: "Have you never seen Isinger's urban layout before?"

"You have seen it, what's the matter?"

< p>The female undead suddenly pulled out a scroll from her robe and unfolded in front of me. I am quite familiar with the things drawn on the scroll. This is the top view of the old Isinger before it was destroyed. The woman pulled both sides of the scroll, while the male envoy clicked on the map with his finger, and the dots turned into small red dots.

He explained: "Do you know what the positions of these light spots represent?"

I and Eagle both went up and took a closer look. "These seem to be the positions of supporting pillars that run through the entire city."

He nodded and said: "Have you seen these pillars before?"

I nodded and waited for him to continue. Explain, who knew that he looked at me and didn't speak. He waited for a while before continuing: "Don't understand?"

I and Ying shook our heads.

He seemed to be very angry and began to draw with his fingers on the blueprint. This time he drew a lot of complicated lines, including straight lines and arcs, but these lines all passed through the points at first. After he finished painting, he stepped aside to let me see clearly.

"Spirit Gathering Great Array?" Eagle and I yelled almost at the same time.

Fuck me! I finally know why Isengard is called the magic capital. It turns out that Isengard's entire city is a giant undead transformation formation. The dark cloud above Isinger's head that stays here all year round is not the magical cloud we always thought, but the cloud of death, a cloud of grievances made up of powerful resentments.

Now it's finally clear, and a lot of things that I can't figure out are understood. Last time we fought with Light God Palace, both Dark God Palace and Dragon Clan became our allies. Dragon Clan had to participate because of a decisive battle with Light God Palace. Dark God Palace's reaction was rather strange. Although it can be said that the Dark God Palace is helping us for profit, if you think about it carefully, in fact, the Dark God Palace was not profitable at all in that battle. Controlling a few more cities can’t be considered for Dark God Palace. In contrast, it’s more investment. Dark God Palace is also willing to participate in this kind of obvious loss-making business, isn’t it? Is it weird?

At the time, I thought that Dark God Palace wanted to curry favor with us, and Ling was Al Ni’s elder sister after all. She was doing emotional investment, so I thought her behavior was relatively simple, just pursuing long-term benefits. . But now I fully understand that she is indeed pursuing long-term interests, but not the interests I thought.

Al Ni originally planned to let both parties have a great decisive battle in Isengard, so that a large number of creatures will die near Isengard, and Isengard’s Super Spirit Gathering Formation can guarantee these None of the dead souls can enter heaven, they will all be turned into undead or dark energy. For Dark God Palace, the more undead, the stronger their power. Compared with the need for believers in Light God Palace, what they need more is undead and dark energy. This is the real reason that Dark God Palace helps us fight.

I said why I blew up the Dark God Palace and Al Ni didn’t retaliate against me. The system limit time was too early. According to her personality, she shouldn’t have trouble with me for so long, even if it’s not straightforward. Conflict, she should at least give us some tricks. It's all clear now. The reason she didn't retaliate against me was because she felt that she had made enough money this time, and she didn't want to care about the petty gains with my coolie.

A strong leader has a strong leader, and a mountain is higher than a mountain. I always thought that I was already a conspirator. Compared to Al Ni, I was like a little child player house wine. She sold them and was still helping her count the money! The previous online game NPCs were too low in intelligence and were played by players. "Zero" has changed NPCs to play players.

Wait. I seem to be led into the trap again. Al Ni suddenly asked me what this secret was for? Because you can't hide it? No, it's not that simple.

Al Ni should be well aware of our guild’s strategic forecasting ability. Although I was plotted against by her, it was because she was too slippery, not because I was not smart. Besides, Hong Yue and Su Mi’s IQs were not average. In general, such a powerful think tank should not be continuously plotted against. As long as Al Ni has a little brain, it is impossible to use the same method to plot against us continuously. Then the disclosure of this news is not to plot against me. Her real purpose is...? Is it to throw stones to ask for directions?

Absolutely. She is testing my reaction again, she wants to know if I have fallen to the second force. Al Ni must be trying to get me back under her control, she must try my reaction first. This high-end mind-reading technique is an impossible thing to communicate through a third party. Unless Al Ni can see my reaction, the plan is completely meaningless. But how can she see my reaction?

Use record magic? Impossible, the reception room is a forbidden space, no magic item is needed. Then the only possibility is... I suddenly said to Phantom silently in my heart: "Use the eyes of the soul to see who is staring at us in the room behind us."

"No."

"No?"

"Yes. Those people did not pay attention to us. The only two envoys who are looking at us are now."

"Envoys?" Understand NS. This woman is not an assistant at all, she is Al Ni. Temple faction representatives don't need so many people at all. Bringing more entourages and guards can be considered a show, but bringing a strange assistant is obviously inconsistent with the logic. In fact, Dark God Palace and we know each other very well. Everyone knows how many catties and how many taels. The show is to frighten those who don't know, and there is no point in making the show between us. So the reason why there are so many guards is simply not that Dark God Palace wants to show off, but because Goddess is in the team, they have to send more people to ensure safety. At the Light God Palace, Michael is not just the right Goddess. Of course she can run around, but Arni’s status is beyond doubt. She doesn’t care about it. The figures in the temple like Elder are also impossible to let her have no guards. Run out alone. This is like the ancient emperor, even if he is a martial arts expert himself, the ministers would not let him travel alone.

Al Ni dared to come to Isengard. Okay, you just pretend. Since you want to see my position, let you see enough.

"Purple Moon Commander?" The male envoy asked if I hadn't moved for a long time.

"Huh?" I suddenly returned to normal, "This picture seems to be a very high level Spirit Gathering Array. No wonder Isinger has always been Ghost Qi Sensen."

The envoy immediately said: "It's good if you understand. The three important cities of Dark God Palace have similar functions. Now one of them has been destroyed. There is a problem with our overall Formation. This will seriously affect us. Development, do you have any way to deal with this?"

"I can understand that Isengard was destroyed. This is indeed a loss, but it will not affect the overall development? Isn’t it too exaggerated? ?"

The female envoy disguised as Al Ni said: "Do you have a map of China?"

"Do you want the big one or the small one?"

"The big one must be big enough."

"Then come with me."

I took the two of them and the eagle to the map room of our guild. Going, although the picture on the floor of the Conference Hall is the most detailed and largest, many of the secrets of our guild are marked on it. It is troublesome to be seen by them.

When we walked out of the gate, the guards wanted to follow. I stood up to the front guard: "You should not follow here."

"We have to defend The safety of your envoy." The head of the guard replied in a cold voice.

"I know, but this is my site, and everything is up to me. It’s absolutely safe here, you don’t have to worry about what’s wrong with your envoys. The place we are going to is also considered Confidential warehouse, it is inconvenient for you to follow."

"We want to protect the envoy." The guards did not back down, and Al Ni and the man in front of them didn't speak at all and watched me jokes.

Okay, since you want to watch the excitement, let you watch it. I first notified Hong Yue in a private chat to bring Vina to help, and then suddenly became scolded very loudly: "I can't say no, don't talk nonsense with me. I respect you as envoys and don't give shameless."

< p>My attitude changed too quickly. These people were a little dazed, but they reacted quickly. The voice of the head of the guard has also become much louder. "Al Ni Goddess is our common god of Power of Darkness, and her envoy is her representative. We must protect the envoy with the faith of protecting Goddess. As the commander of darkness, you should cooperate with our actions."

"You...!" I suddenly found that I was not tall enough, not enough to face this guy in an imposing manner. After looking around, he ran to the side and moved a sculpture to the ground, then moved the pedestal in front of this guy and put it down. When I stood on the pedestal, I was a lot taller than this guy, and then bent over and cursed condescendingly in the posture of an adult and a child. "Don’t go to the Goddess Temple at all times. Tell you. My commander is an honorary commander and we don’t have any direct relationship. And Isengard is not the property of the Dark God Palace. It’s mine. Do you understand? Don’t say it’s two. The envoy, even if Al Ni himself came, I had the final say. You are just a little guard and dare to challenge me? How many souls do you have enough for me to collect? Be careful I let Fire of Life let you dust returns to dust earth returns to earth. After going back, tell Al Ni that Goddess here is Vina Ost, the god of chaos and order, and the second Sect religion here is Taoism. , Tell you, I was born as a bandit!" That fellow was completely silly by me, and even the two envoys behind me remained silent.

Huh! After cursing, the whole body feels relieved. haha! It seemed to work well, and everyone was scolded stupidly. I jumped off the stone platform and placed the stone platform and then moved the sculpture back to the table. Turn around and come back to pat the two envoys. "Let's go."

Although I was cursing at the guards just now, I actually cursed it to Al Ni, who was disguised as an envoy. The purpose of her coming this time is simply not for the Spirit Gathering Array. Now Isengard has her own religion. Even if the Spirit Gathering Array is rebuilt, it will not bring any benefits to the Dark God Palace. She just wants to see me treat the Dark God Palace. Position. I now take the opportunity of scolding the guard to tell her that we don't take the Dark God Palace seriously. The God of Chaos and Order and the Chinese Celestial Court are supporting me. I don't need any Dark God Palace.

Maybe my words were too shocking. Al Ni and the male envoy did not respond. I came back to his senses after taking a picture of them in the past. The guard at the back thought for a while and still planned to follow, but Arni's hand made a gesture underneath, and he immediately stopped. I saw Al Ni’s small movements but did not reveal them. What I said just now is to stimulate the Dark God Palace, but the ultimate goal is to get the Dark God Palace closer. The Light God Palace cannot be stable without the Dark God Palace. Once the balance is crooked, it is not so easy to straighten it. I don't want the balance of power in China that I have so painstakingly maintained is so finished, so now I can safely stimulate Al Ni but never reveal her identity.

"Let's go here." I took them to move on, and everyone was thinking about their own thoughts. To be honest, I don’t like to always plot against others, but if you don’t bother to plot against with Al Ni, she will be plotted against. There is no way!

After arriving in the drawing room, I asked the administrator to take a large map of China from the shelf, and then threw it on the dedicated map display stand. "What are you going to show me just now, tell me now?"

Al Ni said: "Do you know the specific locations of the cities controlled by Dark God Palace?"

I nodded turned to the administrator and said: "Bring the Dark God Palace's power Montu to a standard scale."

The administrator quickly handed over a piece of transparent sequined paper. I spread this transparent paper and masked it on the map. Many red dots were drawn on this transparent paper. They represent the cities controlled by Dark God Palace. In addition to these points, the map is centered on these points, and the surrounding area is translucent red. This red area is the sphere of influence.

The male envoy asked: "Is it okay to draw some marks on this?"

I nodded: "It's okay, we have a lot of this."

The male envoy used a red pen to draw a lot of lines on the cellophane above. Like the top view of Isinger at first, these points turned out to be an array after they were connected, and this array almost covered the whole of China. Several small countries near our country are included.

"What array is this?" Hawk asked.

Although we can be sure that this is a magic array, we are not an NPC. We basically can’t remember except for the more characteristic Spirit Gathering Array, and this seems to be particularly complicated.

The envoy explained: "This is the Soul Rebellion Array. Like Isengard, all cities in the Dark God Palace hide the Spirit Gathering Array. Except for the souls absorbed by these Formations, a few willpower transformed into the undead. In addition, most of them are transformed into pure dark energy. These energy will be gradually gathered to this central point through this large array, and then the soul energy will be reversely transformed into a complete fleshy body through the soul-defying array."

I paid attention to the center point, as if it was a no-man's land. "Does it make sense to transform the soul into a fleshy body?"

"It means a lot." The envoy said: "The fleshy body shaped by Power of Darkness is a real creature while possessing dark attributes. , So they won’t be afraid of the power of light. And because of its special attribute, it can use almost any form of power."

The eagle was surprised by the side: "That would become the full attribute invalid. Are you 100% resistant to magic creatures?”

I suddenly remembered that giant dragons seem to be creatures whose souls turn into fleshy bodies, so the magic resistance of all dragons is almost full. The dragon egg of Dragon Clan is actually a dragon soul, and the long incubation period is just the process of transforming the soul into a fleshy body. Because the egg is a complete soul, Dragon Clan basically has a memory before it breaks the shell. Like the plague and luck, they remember a lot of things before they hatch.

Dark God Palace wants to convert soul energy into fleshy body in batches, aren’t they creating a powerful anti-magic Legion? After thinking of this meaning, I looked towards Al Ni in surprise, she actually looked at me with a smile.

"I know you have already guessed who I am, we don't want to muse each other anymore, everyone just click." Al Ni snapped his fingers, and a cloud of black mist flashed out of her body. After opening, Al Ni appeared in front of me with his original face.

"Al Ni?" The eagle took three steps backwards in fright and sat down on the ground.

"Yeah! Why don't you come and say hello to my master when the guest arrives?" Vina really got stuck and stepped on this knot to arrive.

"Isn't this the daughter of the Osted family who was expelled? Didn't expect to stand on her own right now? She has learned to raise pretty boys." Al Ni is not a soft persimmon, but this Women are too verbal!

"Hey! Can you pay attention to what you say?" Al Ni's words obviously brought me in, so I can't show you how to do it.

"Just kidding, don't you be so stingy?"

"The Oste family is your silly little girl who is a smell of mother's milk not yet dried. Can you make a joke? "Vida also followed in unexpectedly, he was more violent than Vina, and he approached Al Ni while drawing his sword.

The male envoy suddenly flicked his sleeve and a rune sword slipped out. "Respect your Highness Goddess." This guy has been a personal guard for a long time.

Vida went up with a sword and shook the guy back three steps. In the end, Al Ni held him quietly to stabilize his figure. According to Vinda, it is also Vina's younger brother. The small stove must be turned on, and the strength is naturally different from before. Vinda also went to those who knew how to measure, and after a sword retreated his opponent, he didn't push forward. "Where did the little child pop up? Is there no one in Dark God Palace now?"

"Who you are?" the guard posing as an envoy asked in surprise.

"I'm Vader Oster, the commander of the Seventh Army. You didn't know where to look at the gate when I was fighting with Marshal Clarke!"

This Vinda is indeed very capitalized. When I met Clark, he was already working as a blacksmith in the Lost City, but the news from Domingue and the Lost Troops confirmed that Clark was once the highest military marshal of the Dark God Palace and commanded the Dark God Palace. Big Legion. Domingue and Vader were both Legion elders in those days, and both were little brothers who followed Clark. After Clark retired, they also became other high level figures, but now Vader is no longer a subordinate of the temple. But in terms of qualifications, he is indeed much older than this guy.
