Take Taobao with you to another world

When there is nothing to do, Solaris likes to stand on the edge of the city and overlook the land, just like Prince Rand likes to repeatedly watch the phantom created by the city management system when he is alone—that is actually the past of the city, Although its owner has long since disappeared without a trace, it can still inspire its current owner infinitely.

As one of his closest partners, Solaris can also share those top-secret magical images with him. It has to be said that although the fissure demon has caused great damage to the world of Central Continent, his city is very small. beautiful.

Those images are like a pair of eyes that can fly, rising from the ground to the sky, taking a panoramic view of the roads criss-crossing in the air, the buildings like blades, and the black-haired humans in strange armor walking on the steel roads. A sharp and heterogeneous aesthetic, and the exotic flowers and trees all over the city add a lot of vitality and romance to it.

It is strange and beautiful, and its strength can be seen at a glance, like a highly developed independent world, setting off the world of Central Continent like a wild land.And the human race living in the rift, apart from a pair of golden pupils and extraordinary talent, does not seem to be much different from the Central Continent human race.They also need to drink and eat, they also socialize with people, there is a difference in status between them, they cry, they laugh, they argue with each other, and only when called to battle do they transform into amazing human forms in the shortest possible time The weapon rose from the ground and shot straight into the sky.

It was a battle scene beyond imagination, something Solaris had never imagined before.Regardless of the position, those cracked human races are simply her ideals.It's no wonder that the demon named Agares has such a status as the God of War. If it weren't for the civil strife in the rift, he suffered repeated attacks from the dragons and betrayal by the tribe, and he who completely ruled the city would hardly have May fall.

But he died anyway.

And now the city belongs to them.

Even if it is not quite now, it will be in the future.

The sea of ​​clouds had already dissipated, and the clear sky could be seen at a glance. Solaris looked at the familiar texture of the ground under her feet, and she was thinking about a question.

Recently, she always feels uneasy in her heart. Where does this uneasiness come from?

Is it from that industry federation?

That invasion event really frightened the people of Tiancheng. They thought they could sit back and relax, but the opponent suddenly came close to them, and they still have lingering fears to this day.Fortunately, His Majesty Fatales has awakened the administrators of this city. This intelligent non-life creation has shown many powerful functions, one of which is to help them analyze the main body of those huge flying objects for The airbags that maintain the ability to float in the air can only sail at low altitudes and low speeds, and cannot pose a threat to the city in the sky that is high on the top of the sea of ​​clouds.

The only thing that the Industrial Alliance may damage with this aircraft is the "ladder", but as long as there is enough energy, even if they destroy the only passage connecting the sky and the earth, the city of the sky can still make it "grow" again.

Nothing to be afraid of.Solaris also never felt afraid, just like when she met the boy back then two years ago in an unimaginable situation, she was full of fighting spirit because she finally had a comparable opponent.

But on the contrary to her, I don’t know if the monotonous and comfortable life in the Sky City wears down people’s hearts. Even if it has been explained, people still can’t feel stable.Coupled with some selfish desires, they hope to get more guarantees——

And Prince Rand responded to their expectations: in the form of inoculating the water of talent to the entire population of Sky City.

Once they obtained this world-changing item through urban intelligence, they selected different people from all over Tiancheng to conduct experiments. Among a hundred people, only one or two people died during the implantation process due to the so-called rejection reaction, and the rest all died. He has obtained different forms of natural abilities, and his body and mind are stable so far. More importantly and shockingly, the water of talent can not only make mortals acquire talents from scratch, but also has a great chance to make those who are originally talented Some people get the second or even the third kind of natural power, as evidenced by the head of the mage group, Yuritan.

For Solaris, compared with the unexpectedly wide scope of application of the water of talent, Prince Rand bestowed the blood pupils on Uritan through the water of talent, which proved that he was the first group of experimenters. It really shocked her.

The king she followed turned out to be so devoted and crazy, how could one not be heartbroken?

So the uneasiness she feels should be just the trembling that this mortal body can't bear the imminent grand future. They will bring a new order to the world of Central Continent. No matter how long it takes and how many lives they have to sacrifice, they will I will definitely achieve my goal, and no one can stop——

Except death.

No one is not afraid of death.The gifted water is able to avoid impotent death by empowering man.

Greer looked at the drop of silver water hanging in front of his eyes, and he had been looking at it for a while since Prince Rand's attendants brought this drop of gifted water to him.

As one of the earliest and most loyal followers of Prince Rand, the level of gifted water he received is not low, and he doesn't have to go through those dangerous and painful operations. He just needs to make a small cut in the skin and integrate it into the blood. Can.As long as there is a wound that he can't even frown, he will immediately be transcendent, enter the realm of talented people, and justifiably win more trust and higher power from Prince Rand.

This is indeed what he dreamed of.

Greer looked out of the window, the winding line almost reached the opposite chamber from the church gate, people moved forward slowly, those blurred faces revealed anxious fanatical desire, no one in this city did not want to gain power .

He looked away, his deformed face reflected on the surface of the water of talent.Before pressing it into the wound, one last innocuous image came to Greer's mind - a walk to a park on a breezy evening in the industrial federation's New Marsh City, where the pools were clear and the setting sun had shrunk the mushrooms. The dense canopy of trees is shining brightly, people are strolling on the tree-lined road, reading on the green grass, and people's shouts and joyful laughter can be heard from the playground next to it.He's a passer-by here, but he doesn't seem to be any different from anyone else.

He still seemed to be able to smell the breath of the wind.

It was as if concentrated acid was dripping into the wound, and the great pain swept across Greer's consciousness like a tidal wave.

The results of the special meeting have not yet been announced to the general public of the Industrial Alliance, and the representatives of the emergency assembly began to return to work after three consecutive days of meetings.For a social machine of the size of an industrial alliance, no matter how efficient it is, it takes some time from decision-making to implementation.The ripples have not yet spread, only the air is faintly tense. When the representative of the Mist Kingdom who lives in Xinmaxi City made another request to meet with him, Yun Shen agreed.

The visitors walked into the living room with a somewhat cautious and apprehensive attitude, and saluted the top leader of the Industrial Alliance according to the etiquette of the Central Empire. However, when they straightened up and faced Yunshen again, the three representatives of the country of fog His eyes had turned blood-colored, and his posture and expression also changed accordingly.

They spoke at the same time, making an eerie remix: "I've heard of you, 'Sorcerer'."

Yun Shen was silent for a moment. "Prince Rand."

With identical smiles on their faces, the three of them ignored the guards who had already drawn out their weapons, and calmly sat down opposite them.

"It's really unimaginable that I have neglected such an important person as you for such a long time, leading to today's situation." Prince Rand, who was among the crowd, said, "I am ashamed and very happy."

"Why are you happy?" Yun Shen asked.

"Of course I am glad that with you and your alliance, the world of Central Continent has more hope. Your power is so strong, and you will definitely make the Second Rift War last longer." Prince Rand said, "Even if you end up The Human Race of the Rift will still win, and the Human Race of Central Continent will also perish vigorously."

Yun Shen said: "So, have you got that city completely?"

The "Princes of Rand" smiled, "I have already got it."

Yun Shen didn't speak.

"Is it surprising to you?" Prince Rand asked, "His Majesty Fatales was also very surprised. He doesn't seem to know that I not only found the record of Sky City from the royal treasure, but also found the corresponding one. treasure."

He—they— rested their chins on one hand, looked at Yun Shen with those red eyes and smiled: "Since only Agares' direct heirs can fully open his treasure, why should I back down? I have to." Said, the feeling of having power is really fascinating. I have never felt such happiness, and even because of this, I find it difficult to understand you and His Majesty Fatales. You are obviously not weak, but why do you look weaker than each other? hapiness?"

Yun Shen raised his eyes.

"Your Highness Rand, after obtaining this city by simulating the blood of the nobles of the rift," he asked, "will you still make it a refuge for humans after the rift restarts, as His Majesty the King expects?"

"What if you got it?" Prince Rand asked back.

"No." Yun Shen said calmly.

This answer seemed to surprise Prince Rand. He looked at him and said, "Me neither. Natural selection, why go against the laws of nature?"

He also said: "But it is obvious that the same choice does not necessarily mean the same position. For example, you are merciful, but I am not."

Yun Shen looked into their red eyes.

"Your Highness Rand, since you say you have acquired this city..." he said, "what do you decide to use it for?"

The three faces on the opposite side smiled at the same time. "Before I answer this question, I think of the experience of living in other people's bodies to enrich life. I really like what your followers said. They say that people are born to love freedom. Apart from survival, they are pursuing self-liberation all their lives. —that's a good thing they say, isn't it?" Prince Rand said in these bodies, "We should choose the way we live, but we always fall into various constraints... That's why we are so hungry for power."

"Now, I have finally obtained such power." He said with a smile, "And you are as wise as you, how do you think I should use it?"

As Prince Rand withdrew his consciousness, the three representatives of the Misty Kingdom seemed to have their muscles and bones pulled, their bodies limply slid along the chairs, and blood kept gushing from their smiling facial features. Suddenly it opened wide, and more guards rushed in.

"Sorcerer!"

"Chairman!"

"Are you okay?!"

"It's okay." Yun Shen, who was surrounded by them, said, the blood was reflected in his eyes, he closed his eyes, and picked up the phone at hand.

The phone was connected right away.

"Tian Lan." Yun Shen whispered.

The person on the opposite side knew exactly what he went through, Fan Tianlan said: "I saw it."

No more languages ​​are needed.Yun Shen put down the phone, and the security team was dealing with the situation nervously and orderly. Meravia walked to Yun Shen with a teacup in his hand. He was the one who blocked all the disturbances to the conversation just now.

"Wow," he said, "they're all out of their minds."

Yun Shen asked, "Is it still possible to recover?"

"Human brains are as soft as tofu, so it probably can't be done." Meravia said, he raised his hand, and silver water droplets drilled from the chest clothes of the three people, rising in the eyes of everyone. In the middle of the sky, "This is very low-level, um, in your words, it should be called a chip? It has been used up."

Prince Rand returned to Sky City. Such long-distance teleportation was also a heavy burden for him. Blood and tears flowed down his face. His eyes were still difficult to focus for a while, as if his soul was still in the distance.

"I saw it..." He smiled while returning to his senses, "That magician is really an arrogant person."

Fatales fell silent across from him.

"I... don't like people who are too proud." Prince Rand said, "Of course, a family member who establishes such a foundation has the right to be proud."

"He is so arrogant that he even pins his hopes on mortals, thinking that they can control their own destiny. If this city is in his hands, he must be able to create more and greater miracles, and perhaps surpass the limits of human beings?" Rand The prince took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped away the blood on his face. He said with a smile, "So you feel very sorry that I am the first human being to set foot on this city after 200 years instead of him."

He leaned back on the back of the chair, "But it doesn't matter, I don't mind." Prince Rand said softly, "I know that everything in this world is always difficult, and you don't have to pursue perfection, although I have always hoped to get yours. Approved, but even if you don't agree all the time, so what?"

He laughed.

"I can always get what I want. And I don't quite agree with you and that sorcerer. Power is not equal to obligation, otherwise people will never pursue freedom. As for 'Blessed is giving than receiving', 'In the face of death Everyone is equal', 'mutual aid and friendship can make the world a better place'... You should also know better than me that these are just words to tame the inferior. The truth of existence is that the weak give everything, and the strong take everything. This has been the case since ancient times, and it will be the same in the future." He said, "So I find it hard to understand, since you must return to Central Continent, why don't you completely become a demon race, but stubbornly maintain this attitude of being neither human nor demon? What do you look like?"

"It's like a monster," he said softly.

Fatales was expressionless, like a stern statue.

"Of course, I have no right to comment on your choice. If you weren't so stubborn, I wouldn't be able to get the city's approval so smoothly." Prince Rand stood up, "I am not a wolf-hearted person, but—— Your Majesty, this It's not your time anymore."

There was a dead silence in the stone room, he saluted and left, but Fatales never gave him any response.The King of People was sitting in front of the window, not talking, not moving, not even turning his eyes, except that he was still breathing very lightly, he looked both like a statue and a frozen corpse.Prince Rand never thought of letting the king die. He just manipulated the power of the city to lock the king to this chair through the magic circle buried in this stone room, while retaining his ability to perceive the outside world, allowing him to I can always look at my favorite scenery.

Prince Rand left behind the king who had fallen into the amber prison. The door of the observation room opened, and the expressionless maids bowed to see him off. The knight stood silently on both sides of the corridor, his body as stiff as a puppet. , no one made a sound, only Prince Rand's footsteps gradually receded.

Prince Rand, who walked out of the mausoleum of the living dead, walked towards his cronies who were waiting for him. Solaris showed him a bright smile.

Feeling something in his heart, he looked up at the sky.The national promotion ceremony of Sky City has come to an end. Another person has successfully shed his mortal body and obtained the innate power provided by the city. An invisible thread of connection flew from the void and tremblingly found his brain. The core is then closely connected to him.The moment the connection was established, Rand immediately knew his real name, age, appearance, ability, and what he was thinking at this moment, and easily planted the seeds of loyalty in that barren mind.

Not even death can make this loyalty disappear.

Thousands of drops of gifted water have created thousands of such threads of connection, thousands of such seeds of loyalty, covering the entire city like a net, and everything is for him to see , everything belongs to him, and everything is used by him.

It feels like a god.

No matter they are as smart as those geek scholars or as sharp as Solaris, they never thought that the way to really get this city is not to carry out those hard and boring constructions, although those actions have their own meaning, but this Everything is just foreshadowing, and in the end it is to provide the most suitable resources for the true owner of the city.

From the time he found the bottle of demon blood in the secret store, he knew it would bring him an opportunity.When he turned on the city's auxiliary power under the guidance of the King of People, he learned to control such a huge and unparalleled city day and night in the main control tower until he was exhausted. On a certain tired night, he was drawn by a dream and walked away. Stepping into the dark blue fire, I got a glimpse of the city's biggest secret.

It turned out to be a key.

Prince Rand, who knew the truth, was not surprised.

This key needs a new owner.But Fatales, who was killed by the demons and then transformed and revived, can only become its agent. Prince Rand has become the only candidate for the city lord through his own efforts, even though many years later today he encountered unexpected events challenge, but the dust has already settled, and the so-called magician can never compete with him—because the city intelligence, which has been waiting for the king to fulfill the contract, has already transferred the most precious The drop of gifted water implanted in his body.

He did not gain more and stronger natural abilities because of this, but he was able to completely control the city from now on. All tangible and intangible changes could not escape his perception, and all bodies that received the water of inferior talent would be controlled by him .

Prince Rand had never felt so powerful and free for a moment.This is the case that he still hasn't completely separated from his human identity, so what kind of advanced life will the real demon be?

Compared with the humans in Central Continent who are running around like dogs, the demons are not unreasonably generous to use such a powerful and great city as a reward for restarting the rift, although compared with the crisis of annihilation they are facing, this reward is very small.It seems that only the Central Continent race is most similar to them in appearance, which makes them intend to keep this fire, just like they also keep other alien races in the crack world-of course, the alien races have to pay a small price, but they Wouldn't it be a great kindness to be allowed to exist?

Prince Rand felt they were hypocritical, but the hypocrisy benefited him.So he should also repay him. This is a contract of equivalent exchange, why must wait until the last moment to open the channel?Now that he has obtained the strength, lifespan and power that he wants most, why not let him give a big gift to both worlds!

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, only the chosen ones can survive!And he will sit on the throne, drink blood wine, and watch the world turn into a huge Colosseum!

Prince Rand walked towards his city surrounded by everyone with a smile on his face.People came out from all over the city and gathered in the square from all directions to welcome their new god piously and fanatically.

"It's just 'wetware'." Fatales said indifferently.

He had shaken off the invisible strands of his body like a spider's web.Prince Rand, who was enjoying the glory, didn't know anything, just like he couldn't detect the soul struggle under the humble appearance of his most loyal subordinate.The maids and knights in the stone room fell to the ground in disarray, and the dozens of drops of talent water separated from their bodies slowly merged, turning into a flawless smooth sphere, falling into his palm, and then disappeared without a trace.

The water of talent is a tool and a weapon. It can control people's limbs and induce people's emotions, but it cannot completely knead the soul that people have molded in their unrepeatable life into the shape that the controller wants.

Prince Rand is ignorant. He is obsessed with his newly acquired ability, thinking that he is powerful and omnipotent. He doesn't know that stupidity and arrogance can turn people into slaves of tools.Or even if he knew this truth, he didn't think it was himself who would fall into the trap.

The bottle of demon blood that Prince Rand found in the royal treasures could indeed help him confuse his blood, but that was part of the test for the successor of the city. Maybe he also really wanted to be recognized by Fatales, But still took a shortcut without thinking.The special blood from "that Duke" plus the gifted water can change his constitution, grant him great power and many permissions, but these are not rewards for his courage and intelligence-but the endless Hard labor.

The urban emergency management system is an intelligent creation. When the main control tower has never had a new core, it is its instinct to upgrade to the main system.However, the engine under the main tower was not started, the energy in the city was insufficient, all the production lines were still folded in the lower space, and the system could not get any beneficial supplement.It has one and only one way of self-improvement, which is to conscript living people as its extended appendages.
