Standing among the crowd, Greer watched dreamily that His Majesty from the Rift Age raised his hand and shook hands with the goddess-like existence.

Where the hands meet, countless things reflecting fine light are pouring down like a waterfall.

Thunder rumbled, penetrating the entire city.

If you don't look at the time, no one will feel that it is daytime. Thick dark clouds occupy the entire sky. "Ordinary people" will be driven into mines or work sheds, and people living in outlying cities are also required to return to their homes and close their doors, not to light any lights, and quietly wait for the power of "god descending" to pass.

Only the members of the ground council called this violent weather from time to time "God's Fall", while civilians and laborers secretly called it "Magic Fall".

This time the "God Drop" seems to be different from usual.

There are no obvious signs, the thunder is like rolling stones, the sky is still as dark, the lightning is still as pale, the wind and rain are still as violent, but people with keen senses will still feel something different—and in the fog The longer people survived, the more so.Anzalu and the others guessed the scale of the disaster before the rain clouds gathered and only the detectors detected the supernatural reaction from the sky. Now it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the season will make this kind of Human-induced extreme weather lasts longer and hurts more, and it turns out it does.

This unnatural disaster lasted from morning to evening. When the heavy rain finally turned into light rain, Anzalu went to the "Downtown Ground Council" without stopping to file a solemn application, asking those in charge to quickly find a hundred people to replace the alliance. The Chamber of Commerce repairs damaged buildings, saves fields battered by hailstorms, cleans pools polluted by muddy water... and so on and so forth.

Immediately, as soon as possible, the sooner the better, he emphasized.

In this way, he led No. [-] and No. [-] people into their dining room wearing a robe covered in mud and water, disturbed the dinner of those "noble people" confidently, and successfully fought for the rights he deserved.

The Alliance didn't have to wait long. A large group of laborers were taken from the mine to the location of the Alliance Chamber of Commerce by the supervisor leader. Like revenge for their unreasonable actions, this group of people were all pale and emaciated, and some of them were flushed. At first sight, they were sick, and the alliance members who took over them were furious. After several times of arguing, the Alliance Chamber of Commerce finally accepted these useless "waste" reluctantly, and sent the supervisor to the entertainment area. They themselves took more than 100 to [-] laborers to the work sheds.

As soon as the supervisors disappeared from sight, subtle changes took place in this damp and dejected labor team. The custodian of the Union Chamber of Commerce did not urge them to leave immediately. Someone walked out of the labor team to talk to them. Questions answered.Then the person who went out turned back and pointed at the crowd. Where he pointed, a sudden change occurred, and some other people suddenly knocked down their companions around them, and then tied them up with ropes.

After a whole day of slavery and fear, most of the laborers were already in a daze, and this moment woke up most of them, "'traitors', 'traitors', they are 'traitors'!" Pushing out of the team, the team that was about to riot just now calmed down because of this word.

Traitors are something that most people hate. If they are not concerned about the consequences, they deserve to be killed on the spot.But some people are confused: why do it here?Right under the eyes of "outsiders"!But those outsiders didn't seem surprised at all?

"Is it these three?" asked the foreign affairs worker standing aside.

"Look again!" said the labor team representative.

The foreign affairs personnel walked around the line, looked down at the pocket watch in their hands, and then smiled at the labor representative, "It seems that there is no more." He looked at the line again, "Everyone go to eat something first Bar!"

The labor representatives and some people in the team also smiled, "Let's go then!"

Those laborers whose footsteps became brisk carried their companions who still did not understand what happened, and followed the foreign affairs personnel of the alliance into the side door. Because of "damaged by wind and rain", the alliance business district will be closed from today to the day after tomorrow. During the day, all places except the entertainment area and consumption area were closed for "renovation", so apart from the two brightly lit places separated by a low wall, there was no one other than the Union Chamber of Commerce in the place they passed.It was already dark, the stars in the sky were twinkling, and the lamps on the ground were also lit up like stars. One after another, the lights illuminated the stone walkway under their feet, and the shrubs and vines on the roadside were soaked in the smell of water Instead of going to the work sheds, the 200 were taken to what the Confederates called the canteen.

What are the Leaguers best known for?In addition to the smelting and casting technology that has not yet been explored by the country, it is probably their food culture.In a huge restaurant that can accommodate 200 people without appearing crowded, the music is accompanied by the faltering struggles of gagged traitors. The laborers had a very good dinner and took a short rest before leaving. , go to the scheduled rest place.

At this time, no matter how uninformed people are, they also understand what happened—not that what they ate was not the last supper before going to the fire pit, but that the rumors circulating in various mines in the past year turned out to be true, and given them these The people behind the great help to the needy are none other than these alliance members called "outsiders"!

Although there are still confusions about why these outsiders from other countries do this, it is hard to come by even just one day to eat well and sleep well.They dragged their feet into the depths of the lights, watching their distant figures, someone said to Anzalu:

"Recently, the situation has turned bad again. Now more than 50 people can die in the Siwei mining area a day. In the past, when the situation was good, there might only be four or five deaths. If this continues, they will not be able to bear it at all."

"But their plan is not going to work," Ansallo said.

"What is success?" said the other party. "Kill the invaders, drive them away, and go back to the past when the two kingdoms of Qingjin and Blackstone coexisted. Of course, that kind of victory is impossible. Except at the very beginning, there are some People were delusional... now all fires are out. They just want to live."

"They really didn't deserve this fate," said Ansalu. "What happened in this land was too cruel. But..."

"Very brutal indeed. Hopeless for a long time. So they—or we, have stopped dreaming of those ordinary, real victories..." said the man, "we only do what we can. Kill Overseer is easy, mobilize tens of thousands of people, as long as we have enough weapons and see the timing, we can also kill the guard army, and then bite those talented people to death like ants, even if we drop the 'spear of the sky' from the sky again , there will still be people who will survive, escape, and go to the less painful human world—"

"—This is the victory we want to strive for."

Ansalu asked; "Do you know how many people will die like this?"

"Even if there was no uprising, we would have died too many people." The other party's tone was very calm, "Perhaps nine out of ten people will die in fighting and fleeing. But dying for this—no matter how many people die, it is Our own choice, we are dying for hope. To live is only the endless slavery of the invaders, and the end is the same as being thrown into the fire pit and becoming the firewood of those demons. As long as you are oppressed enough, there is nothing difficult about it Chosen."

"I can feel your determination, and no position hinders your decision." Ansalu said, "You are more aware of how powerful the enemy is than we are, and you know how heavy a price you have to pay..."

"As irrelevant outsiders, you have given us too much help, and we sincerely accept any of your suggestions—except for us to stop and give up." The other party said, "At the same time, we also feel guilty to you, because once If there is an incident, I am afraid it will be very difficult for you to handle."

"Leagues are popular everywhere, and they're not popular anywhere, and we're used to being blamed, just as we're used to meddling in injustice," Ansallo said. I have done some insignificant things within my power. Even if we are accused of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, we will not suffer too much damage. I can tell them that this is a return of courtesy...Even if something happens, my own Life is enough to end this matter. Because the Alliance Chamber of Commerce is not the private property of nobles or families, we have a very powerful country behind us."

The other party was silent for a moment.

"I can't help but say... I'm very, very envious of you guys."

The representative of the rebel army went into the depths of darkness and returned to his comrades.Ansalu also returned to his companions, and the meeting lasted until late at night.

The long-term work of intelligence and external departments has shown that various forms of resistance have long existed in all feudal countries. These "wildfires" that arise one after another sometimes become a prairie fire, and sometimes they are so small that they can be stamped out with a foot.The turmoil that is brewing in the kingdom of mist will definitely not be the latter scene. The rebels have shown amazing courage and firm determination, and they are bound to make a big noise, but the result of the death they want is not optimistic. They themselves are also very clear, and there is no need for the alliance to explain it to them.

Since lapis lazuli and black stone were merged into one and the new ruler replaced the old king, the people of the two countries have been fighting against them without stopping.At first, the nobles led them to rebel, and later the people rebelled spontaneously. The result of the rebellion was brutal suppression without exception, but after many years, the fire of hatred in people's hearts has never been extinguished.In people's eyes, these invaders conquered their countries, took their lands, and drove thousands of people to mines, farms, and the like, where they were treated as cattle and horses, and forced to work ruthlessly. Taking away the wealth they created, part of this blood-sweat wealth was used to maintain the luxurious life of the new ruler, and the other part was dedicated to the demons in the sky.

The foreign affairs personnel of the alliance did not experience a "divine drop" in the first three months of their stay in the country of mist, and they could not observe that the invisible ladder and source pipe were only removed at such a moment, but they already knew that the real core of this country was not on the ground but on the ground. In the sky, and the source of information is the laborers who built the business district for them.

As a royal family from the Central Empire, Prince Rand showed a generosity commensurate with his status. The land he promised to the Alliance Chamber of Commerce was astonishing, more than ten times their usual requirement, but the foreign affairs workers of the Alliance did not deliberately push back on this. Refuse, but accept it safely.Foreigners, as they have done in other countries and regions, established their characteristic trade and life fields in a short time, and they made full use of the vast land allotted to them by virtue of the easy availability and use of native manpower. , to build these infrastructures "unnecessarily" tall, spacious and complete.

The alliance people did not take advantage of the land, they paid enough remuneration for this, but soon found that most of these remuneration could not fall into the hands of the laborers, so they changed the form of payment in the middle and late stages, using food, medicine Remuneration in kind, such as clothing and clothing, has replaced currency remuneration. At the cost of burying the root cause of conflict with the ground council, some workers have gained "insignificant" friendliness and gratitude.

After experiencing some incidents, the Alliance people restrained the "unnecessary", "hypocritical" and "extremely hypocritical" sympathy and help, and instead concentrated on serving the residents of the lower city at all levels.Although they have not been able to - because they are unwilling to take the initiative to improve the relationship with the ground council, but they have a protection order from His Royal Highness and a "His Majesty". This kind of opposition does not affect their development in a short period of time. It was very prosperous, and completely squeezed out the caravans from other countries that had established relations with the Mist Country from the core market.

No matter what their position is, people always have to eat, dress and enjoy themselves. Who else can give them enough, good enough, and cheap enough enjoyment like the Union Chamber of Commerce?

Some people also accused the alliance members of being sneaky, but the ground council rarely caught the chamber of commerce. Even if they occasionally found some clues, they could not pose a threat to them. This was the confidence they had to participate in the conflict between the upper and lower cities last time.The foreign affairs workers took advantage of all the conditions they could. Even the rebels who secretly established channels with them didn’t know how far the Alliance people had grasped the situation on the ground in this country. What they had to say...

They have drawn a detailed map of the Mist Country.

Although this set of maps was completed in Xinmaxi City in the third west district, and the foreign affairs personnel brought back only deep memories to the country of mist, everyone knew the serious consequences it might lead to.Because this set of maps not only depicts the geographical features of the country, but also records the distribution of its resources. Through means unknown to foreign affairs personnel, the cartographer also drew the true appearance of the "fog circle" that spread all over the country.As one of the deadliest secrets in this country, imagine the consequences if they are discovered.

Foreign affairs workers do not need to consider the problems of those maps.They know their reputation, no matter where the rulers think they are law-abiding, maybe someone has noticed that they are secretly funding the labor force, the alliance people always have superfluous good intentions, and in this country that has become completely weird, there is still What group is more humble and miserable than those laborers?But no matter how much wealth these chamber members have and what resources they can mobilize in this country, they only have a few people in this business circle, which determines that they cannot do any practical things.

Nor should they get too involved with things that have nothing to do with them.There was no need, no point, no result, as the "Celestial Man" named Greer said to them on the day of the conflict:

"This is not your territory. You should protect yourself more carefully."

He was right—if foreign service workers were not "liberators."

Before and after each "God's Fall" weather, the radio communication will be greatly disturbed, and even completely cut off like this time, but from the first time I ventured to directly contact the industrial city to now regularly report the situation, the ground council has never been in this regard Check them out, so that's still a top priority channel to this day.The discussion on the mine uprising was held for three consecutive days. Just when the electromagnetic environment was about to return to a stable and clean state, and the group of workers was about to finish their rest, unexpected guests suddenly came to visit.

This large group of teams was really unexpected. After hastily clearing the venue, foreign affairs workers entertained them according to local etiquette.Perhaps it was because the two leading nobles had a little friendship with them, and the visitors didn't care about the details like members of the parliament. They took their seats in the living room, so Anzalu looked at the two "nobles of Tiancheng" head-on.The so-called people rely on clothes, obviously the same face, once put on the unique dress of the nobles, it immediately shows the distance between the person and the "ground people" of the ground councilors.

Recalling the situation they brought last time, Ansalu smiled.

"It's a great pleasure to meet the two adults again. It's a great honor to meet by chance. Since the last farewell, we have learned lessons and ordered the external chambers of commerce to step up the mobilization of supplies. The team is now on the road and will enter the country soon. " He said with a smile, "Surely this time I won't disappoint Lord Ackwhite again."

Greer also laughed, "Your acts of kindness that day were indeed unforgettable. Since that's the case, I'm here to thank Earl Arkwhite for your special attention. He will definitely be happy for these gifts."

"It's just a businessman's duty." Anzalu said, "In fact, there is another layer of regret left behind in the hasty parting last time. Good wine should be accompanied by delicious food. We still have a little bit of strength in cooking. If this For the first time, I was lucky enough to..."

"It's an honor for us, of course," Greer said.

The Alliance loves to talk about things at the dinner table, which is one of their distinguishing traits, as food and wine are relaxing.Different from the situation when the three gathered last time, this time the members of the ground council did not dare to stop the alcohol of the alliance people from appearing in public—it was precisely because of their open provocation to the nobles of Tiancheng that the speaker was summoned to go up that day , and have not yet gone to the ground. After learning that several "big men" in the sky were punished by His Royal Highness Rand because of this trivial incident, these ground councilors finally realized how big a mistake they had made. Swallow it—at least they think they've swallowed it enough.

I have to say that the Alliance people are really accomplished in food and drink, and the special wine they serve is also enough to make people intoxicated. The atmosphere of the banquet gradually becomes relaxed and casual—no matter in the gloomy corner where the ground councilors are— The guests and the host were having a good time, and when the wine was hot, Earl Greer, who was the representative of Prince Rand, toasted Anzalu and said with a smile:

"Why do we have to test each other so hypocritically?" He said, "To be honest, we are here this time to give you a gift."

"Gift?" Ansalu put down his wine glass and looked up at the noble opposite. "It's really frightening, but also very much looking forward to. May I know what kind of gift this is?"

"Of course, Mr. Diplomat," Greer said. "Actually, all of you can see it."

When those youths who looked like laborers were escorted in front of them, the smile on Ansalu's face did not change at all, and the other foreign affairs workers remained expressionless at worst.They won't be fully exposed now, and even if they are, it shouldn't be in this kind of occasion, this kind of situation.

Ansalu moved his elbow from the armrest to his leg, and used this suggestive gesture to ask the rest of the workers to remain calm. He looked sideways at Earl Greer, who was sitting on the main seat, and said with just the right amount of ignorance: "My lord, What happened to these slaves? You know, they just left our business district after finishing their work."

"There's nothing wrong with them, it's just that we need some 'substrates' to display this special gift." Greer said casually, "The lower their identities, the more they can prove the preciousness of this gift."

"I see." Ansalu said.

The selected "substrates" knelt on the ground with bare backs, no one raised their heads, and almost everyone was trembling, as if fearing the upcoming unknown fate.

Greer motioned to the side, and the handsome and feminine Archmage Ulitan slowly stood up from his seat.

"Why are you so afraid?" His tone of voice was very soft, and the tone of his voice was in contrast to the long shiny awl he took out from his sleeve, "Soon, you will soon find out that when What a glorious blessing it would be for my humble life form to be sublimated to its essence."

Ansalu's fingers curled up in his sleeves, and then he slowly forced himself to relax. He stared intently at the field, watching Yuritan walk among the crowd, all the laborers were firmly pressed to the ground, from the left On the first side, Yulitan stepped on his sheepskin sandals on his shoulders, let go of his hands and let the long cone float in the air.

"It will hurt a little," he said.

The long awl rotated and pierced the laborer's vest, and a blood hole was drilled in his sudden struggle. This murder weapon seemed to be a special surgical instrument. Judging from its position and depth, it had penetrated the heart, but Only a little bit of blood seeped out, and then Yuritan opened a container, and a silver "drop" floated into the air and poured into the wound.

After doing this to a row of five people, Yuritan returned to his seat, and the attendant brought him clean water to wash his hands that had not been stained with "dirty" at all. Amidst the noise, the rest of the people waited silently, and then from the No.1 laborer, the mutation began to stand out.

He had been sweating profusely since the rough surgery, which seemed like a natural reaction to the pain, but he was sweating more and more, and soon a puddle was forming under him, puddles. The area of ​​his body expanded, and water flowed down from his body in streams. The wound on his back was healing, and his body shape remained unchanged, indicating that the moisture did not precipitate from the inside of the human body, but condensed from the outside.The expressionless knight let go of his restraint, and the laborer struggled to get up from the ground, looking at his body in disbelief. At this time, other people began to change one by one.

For the foreign affairs personnel of the alliance, they had never seen such a scene. Those ground councilors let out exclamations one after another. commands to control the body, and eventually they all took control.

Ansalou and other coalition workers have remained silent throughout the process.

Until Greer asked, "What do you think?"

"It's really... a miracle," Ansalu said.

Greer smiled.

"This is the gift His Royal Highness Rand will give to the Lord of the Alliance. It is a shortcut that allows mortals to become talented at a very small price."
