Chapter 75 The Miraculous Use of Prisoners
Including a letter written to Pastor Jeffrey and Principal Ivan to report that they were safe, Luo Yan also wrote it and stuffed it into an envelope together with the letter sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with a note that the entrustment would be handed over by Senior Green, and at the end he added his own magic mark.
Sometimes owing a harmless favor is also a way to get closer to each other. I believe that Senior Green will not care about the postage and the small issue of "private use of public equipment".
No big deal, treat him to dinner next time you return to the Magic City.
After finishing his work, Luo Yan got up and left the magic workshop, and went to the "teleportation room" just dug by the Tumu Spider of the Shadow Weaver clan. In the reserved space, he carefully drew a "temporary teleportation array" with magic crystal chalk.
This thing is not so much a teleportation array, but in terms of technical principles, it is actually more similar to what humans on the surface call a "Devil Summoning Array."
Each teleportation array has specific inscriptions as encryption means and coordinates, which are divided into end a and end b, and groups correspond to each other.
When a demon believer in the human world gets a drawing of a teleportation array from a demon or a cult book, and draws it on the floor of his or her bedroom or basement, he or she can communicate or even trade with the demon who gave him the teleportation array.
Under normal circumstances, the objects of transactions are usually faith crystals that condense the power of faith.
As for the specific form of faith crystal charging and the method used to complete the transaction, it mainly depends on who is responsible for the contact with the devil.
For example, the Terror will use longevity and strength as bait to ask traders to act recklessly in their territory, the Incubus will use power and money as bait to ask traders to develop more followers, and the Succubus will use charm or prestige as bait to lure traders to open a bank party, etc.
The essence is to destroy the faith of Saint Sith, spread the faith of the devil, and at the same time spread the corruption from hell.
This business is mainly handled by Hell’s Propaganda Department.
Luo Yan even heard that there is a department in the Propaganda Department of the Magic City that is responsible for communicating with surface human believers.
This department is mainly composed of little devils and goblins. Its organizational structure is similar to the customer service of major financial and insurance companies on the earth.
However, although the technical principles are the same, Luo Yan is not connected to a third-rate department, and the person working with him is even less likely to be some little devil.
After completing the magic circle, Luo Yan placed the envelope in the center of the circle, and then placed a magic crystal in the corner of the magic circle as a "sacrifice".
With a flash of green light, a green flame rose up and quickly swallowed the entire letter.
The entire transmission process will consume energy at both end a and end b, and the energy consumed is determined by the weight and energy density of the transmitted object.
This energy can be paid with the power of faith, or with magic crystals. However, considering that the Demon King currently lacks the power of faith, Luo Yan decisively used magic crystals.
If one of the parties has insufficient energy or refuses to pay the energy, the teleported object temporarily stored in the subspace will be returned to the origin, and the energy that has been consumed will not be returned.
Since it is only a letter that is transmitted, it does not consume much energy, and the entire transmission process is completed quickly.
"Done!"
Luo Yan clapped his hands after sending the letter, and then waited for the reply and reinforcements from hell.
I hope that after reading my battle report, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will have a deep understanding of my difficulty and quickly dispatch a reliable reinforcement.
Luo Yan, who was in a good mood, left the teleportation room and walked towards the magic workshop.
At this moment, as he was passing by Suzhou Square, he suddenly heard a howl like a slaughtering pig.
I saw a skeleton soldier squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, exactly like the adventurers squatting in the haunted house.
"Cat lady! Cat lady! Why was my cat lady replaced by a lizard man???"
The pig-headed knight's voice was full of despair, as if the sky was falling.
The teammates standing aside seemed to find him embarrassed. They pulled him aside and scolded him.
"You're not a piece of shit! You've been harassing people all day long! Now it's over, I don't have to watch anymore! Just go ahead and yell at the lizard!"
Pig-headed Knight: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
Tauren warrior: "Okay, okay, look at your potential, you are so interested, upgrade as soon as possible, and you can become a cat girl later?"
Pig head knight: "Can that be the same!?"
Without a translation crystal ball, he couldn't understand what these skeletons were creaking at all, and he wasn't interested at all.
For him who is still mentally immature, completing the Demon King's orders is the only meaning of his existence here.
It was not just the two skeletons that were noisy. Luo Yan found that many people in the Quality Square in front of the entrance to the maze were discussing this matter.
"By the way, did you see where the cat lady went?"
"I read on the forum that it seems to be over there in the dark room, and some players who are doing quests nearby seem to have seen it."
"The dark room? The prison in the necropolis?! Why is it there?"
"Damn it!!! This demon king can't get it, so he locks people up!"
"The prison must be robbed!"
"Is anyone buying dynamite? I have dynamite here! Ten thousand Hades coins per kilogram!"
"Holy shit, your dynamite is made of gold?!"
Why don’t you go grab it! ! ”
Luo Yan, who was eavesdropping on the side, had a black streak in his head,
Look at the potential of you guys, are you just an NPC? And what do you mean by locking someone up if I don’t get it?
In the end, there were sensible people who told the truth.
"What are you talking about, why are you locked up? I think they are obviously doing fine."
"That's right! I just saw it, the cat girl seemed to be learning assassination skills from an NPC prisoner!"
"What the hell?! Is this game so real? NPCs are still there? Can you learn skills independently? "
"Wait, the assassin skill book has been updated?! Why didn't I know?"
"It is probably a secret change of the system. If I have to explain it, it can be explained as "the in-game program changes independently as the plot progresses". I plan to learn it secretly, maybe I can buy the skill book for free. "
Hearing what a diligent young player said, Luo Yan's heart suddenly moved, and another trouble-saving idea came to his mind.
It would be better to let Chris work part-time as an NPC in the thief and assassin professions.
As the saying goes, prisons are full of talents.
It is so reasonable for a thief and murderer in prison to play the job of a thief or assassin.
It’s not just Chris.
Among the prisoners who have been "successfully reformed", there seems to be a guy named Rexen, who happens to be a black iron-level swordsman.
It might be a good choice to let him guide players on how to become a qualified warrior. At the same time, you can also let him issue some tasks to kill monsters.
「悠悠，在克丽丝和雷克森的头顶分别设置一个『盗贼职业转职NPC』和『大剑士职业转职NPC』的标签，之前我设置的那个转职方案，就由这两个家伙来担任新手转职的导引npc好了。」
「没问题，魔王大人，可是把发布任务的权限给囚犯真的好吗？」悠悠的声音带着一丝迟疑。
Although these two people have become believers of the Demon King, they are not obedient believers in the traditional sense, but surrender out of fear.
There are still certain risks in reusing this kind of guy.
Luo Yan thought for a while and said.
"In this way... you first make a few options for them to refer to, such as hunting forest wolves, grizzly bears, wild zombie skeletons, etc. Under normal circumstances, when they publish tasks, they choose from these templates. If they don't have them, apply to you, and then release them to players after they are approved."
After listening to Luo Yan's words, Youyou said excitedly.
"As expected of the Demon King, this idea is simply great!"
Luo Yan smiled faintly.
"Low-key, just basic skills."
...
While the evil Demon King and his top minions were discussing "how to further test the limits of players in the upcoming A06 version," Sodo and his generals wandering in the maze were finally reaching their limit.
Originally there were 300 elite Gray Fins, but now there are only about 40 left.
What is even more hateful is that until now they have not even seen the shadow of the enemy, and they have been wandering around in this endless corridor all the way.
The monsters in the maze are very smart.
When encountering groups of troops, most monsters will deliberately avoid them, and even hide when they smell the smell.
It is precisely because of this that it is difficult for them to get food from monsters when they get together.
Finally, a shark warrior probably went crazy, waving the harpoon in his hand and roaring hysterically towards the corridor of the maze.
"Demon King! Come out! What's the point of hiding in the dark! You coward! You're a worthless thing%￥#@!"
That vicious curse is as unpleasant as it sounds, but the only regret is that it cannot reach the ears of the Demon King.
"Save your strength, Slor..."
Another shark warrior sat on the ground, closing his eyes and gasping softly.
"If I were that guy, I wouldn't come out."
"Damn it!"
The shark named Slor knelt on the ground and punched the hard ground with his fist.
The atmosphere of despair spread among the team. The script they faced at this moment was simply the same as the ghost story circulating in the necropolis prison. The only difference was that their number had been decreasing, not increasing.
But I have to say that they are indeed very united, and their devotion to the Dragon God comes from the bottom of their hearts.
Even when they were at the end of their rope, they did not break the taboo of cannibalism. Instead, they buried their own kind before moving on...
Although most of the same kind they buried ended up in the maze monsters-especially the crypt spiders.
Sodo, who was sitting in the team, was silent for a long time, and finally opened his closed eyes.
The amber pupils no longer had the previous unruliness, only regret and vicissitudes, and the indifference of seeing through death.
"Everyone, please listen to me..."
Hearing the leader's voice, all the Mermaid warriors paid attention to him and waited quietly for his order.
"We were born in the tides, we should have been buried in the tides, but now we die in this cave that never sees the sun...perhaps it is also the punishment for our arrogance from the Dragon God."
When he said this, he paused for a moment and looked around at all the Mermaid warriors present, trying to remember the familiar and unfamiliar faces.
"Although dispersing will only accelerate our death, we have now reached the time when we have to make a choice..."
"Someone must go back alive and tell our clan leader about the situation here... Even if only one person survives."
While saying this, he raised his head and looked at the dome of the maze, and finally made the decision he least wanted to make.
「Let’s split up.」
Instead of a group of people getting together and running around in a maze like headless flies, it is better to spread out and find a way out.
In this way, maybe someone can successfully leave here.
Sodor couldn't help but think that some of the scouts he had sent out earlier might have found a way out, but they were dragged down by the large army and were unable to escape from the maze.
If it wasn't for bringing the news back, they might have left this damned place.
Perhaps I should have made this decision long ago.
After listening to the leader's words, all the shark warriors fell silent. They looked at each other, each other's eyes filled with reluctance, but in the end they turned into expressions of determination.
"May the Dragon God bless you."
"May the Dragon God bless you!"
They left blessings to each other, and then dispersed on the spot, resolutely walking into the depths of a dark maze, leaving their fate to God's will.
And just as they dispersed in twos and threes and headed towards the depths of the maze, a dozen pairs of eyes hiding in the dark were also ready to move.
"They can't hold on anymore!" The soul fire burning in the skull of Long Xingwanli flashed an inch of shrewd light.
They have been following behind this group of sharks for three full days, watching their numbers getting smaller and smaller, and now they finally have the time to take action!
It’s not just Long Xing Wanli who is ready to move, but also the [first pig in the national server] who is riding on his crotch. He is so fierce that he even eats the corpse of the shark, and he has completely given up.
"Boss, do you want to take action?"
The first pig in the national server was ready to make a sudden advance, but the boss's next words made him plop down on the ground again.
“There is no hurry, wait a moment.”
The first pig in the national server was confused.
They haven’t done any tasks for three days, and they’ll be in trouble if they wait any longer!
Seeing the concern in the eyes of the first pig in the national server, Long Xingwanli smiled lightly and said.
"Calm down, I mean, wait until they disperse a little more before taking action. I don't mean to wait for another three or four days before taking action."
"So that's it..." The first pig in the national server smiled sheepishly and scratched the top of his head with his forelimb. "Sorry, I thought... you have to wait for a few days."
"Have you ever heard of the skirt-cutting tactic?"
The first pig in the national server was stunned for a moment.
Holy shit!
Wouldn't you understand if you just said "surround the point to call for reinforcements"? !
But when I think about it, what the brothers in the national service blurt out is still flattery.
"Brother Niu! Why didn't I think of that?!"
Feeling quite comfortable being flattered by this flattery, Long Xingwanli smiled calmly.
“Low-key, just a basic thing.”
After saying that, he looked behind him.
Hence, Qianli, please make a plan."
Hence Qianli, who had been silent, nodded seriously, as if he was just standing there like a soldier.
「Yes!」
Baili yawned and stretched his stiff shoulders, turned over and sat on the back of [Failed Dirty Eel], and eagerly pulled the bow string in his hand.
"The fight is finally about to begin!"
