Chapter 477 Strategic Deterrence
Qi Ge looked at Muriel, feeling very upset.
As a dragon girl, Moril has a strong collecting habit that all dragons have.
The rarer and more unique it is, the more she wants to collect it.
This hobby is the same as players' preference for limited editions, preferably unique treasures, arms, and costumes.
Sense of superiority = I have what others don’t.
Coupled with her strong character and persistence in not giving up until she achieves her goal, she had suffered a lot in her previous life.
In short, Qi Ge is very regretful now.
"How could I have forgotten such crucial information?
No, I have to struggle.
[Poke Ball], if used well, is equivalent to a natural wonder!
The benefits a natural wonder brings to a territory are definitely no less than any miraculous building.
Super wonders like [Silver Mountain Peaks], [Great Sulphur Mountains], and [Immortal Wood] can directly increase the growth limit of a territory."
Qi Ge took a deep breath and said cautiously:
"Your Majesty Moril, we can now be considered allies."
Molly stared at the Poké Ball in Qige's hand without moving her eyes, and there was no emotion in her voice:
"Of course.
Don't worry, why would I steal your things?
What I mean is to conduct reasonable and legal transactions in accordance with the rules of the God of Wealth.
Let's do this.
Give me the Poké Ball and I will make you a member of the Black Dragon City Senate."
Seven Pigeons: ...
To put it bluntly, the Senate is Negan's ruling body.
Negan is a dictatorship combined with a republican slavery system.
Moril holds supreme power in Negan and can execute anyone at will.
But Moril will not use her power easily, and more matters concerning Negan will be decided by the Senate.
Normally, to join the Senate, one must at least fully control a world fragment and become a glorious underground lord.
In other words, joining the Senate is equivalent to joining Negan.
It seems that asking for the Poké Ball was not her purpose at all, she finally wanted me.
Qi Ge sighed softly and said:
“Your Majesty, if you insist on taking the Poké Ball away, our mission will most likely fail.
Is it worth delaying the future of this war for a mere treasure?"
Muriel narrowed her eyes.
“If it was an ordinary treasure, it would definitely not be worth it.
This treasure is not ordinary."
“It’s not worth it.
He's not as good as you think.
Maybe sometimes he can be of great use, but most of the time, he is just a good-looking piece of trash.
If you need him, Your Majesty, he will appear before you at the right time."
"roar."
Muriel raised her head slightly:
"The treasure I'm talking about is not the Poké Ball."
Qi Ge nodded with a smile and responded:
"Coincidentally, me too."
"Heh. Interesting."
Muriel smiled through her nose.
"Forget it, it's a rare occasion that my heart is moved, but you leave me speechless.
Little military advisor, not many people dare to refuse me. "
"Of course, you are the Dragon Queen."
Qi Ge smiled and said:
"I'm afraid only a fool as stupid as me would refuse you."
"Then you are truly hopeless."
"Your Majesty, you are teaching me right."
After two or three rounds of fighting, Muriel never gained any advantage.
She got angry when she saw Qi Ge's calm look, so she simply stopped looking.
Muriel turned her face aside and said, "Little Military Advisor, the [Silver Mountain Peaks] are coming. Let me take a closer look to see how many miracles you can create."
Qi Ge then noticed that the white snow on the ground was turning into silver without him noticing.
When we got close to the [Silver Mountain Peaks], not only the ground but even the cedar trees on the snow were covered with layers of silver snow.
Covered in silver, it looks exceptionally charming.
This dazzling silver light is dazzling.
If you continue to look far to the south from here, you can already see the [Silver Mountain Peaks].
[Silver Mountain Range] is composed of three peaks. The middle peak is relatively low and flat, while the peaks on both sides are relatively high.
From a distance, it looks like a big silver ingot.
"Attention all troops, prepare to land!"
At Qi Ge's command, the Black Dragon quickly moved its body and began to slowly descend towards the [Silver Mountain Peaks].
Unlike the takeoff and landing of airplanes, the body structure of dragons allows them to perform various difficult maneuvers in the air at any time.
But now the Black Dragon and the Red Dragon are still carrying many harpies. In order to prevent the harpies from being thrown away, the Black Dragon and the Red Dragon are trying their best to ensure a stable flight.
As the black dragon descends, the [Silver Mountain Peaks] are getting closer and closer.
At the same time, the [Dragon Eagle Legion] also appeared in the field of vision of the defenders near the [Silver Mountain Peaks].
Qi Ge saw that in the direction of [Silver Mountain Peaks], a wizard hero flew into the sky on a magic carpet.
He used a megaphone to amplify his voice and shouted loudly:
"Black Dragon Legion on the opposite side, you have already entered the defense area of our Silver Snow City.
Serious warning, please leave as soon as possible, otherwise we in Silver Snow City will take countermeasures against you!"
[Dragonhawk Legion] moved closer.
"A solemn warning once again! Don't be ungrateful."
The [Dragonhawk Legion] came closer.
"Third solemn warning! We are about to launch a counterattack!"
The [Dragon Eagle Legion] is only 30,000 meters away from the [Silver Mountain Peaks].
"This is absurd! Stop now. Once you step into the 20,000-meter range of the Silver Mountain Range, we will launch a counterattack.
These 20,000 meters are the bottom line of our Silver Snow City’s tolerance.
The bottom line of our Silver Snow City must not be violated."
The [Dragon Eagle Legion] ignored the mage's calls and did not even change its speed, entering the 20,000-meter range at a leisurely pace.
The wizard of Silver Snow City was extremely angry:
"Damn it! We in Silver Snow City will remember what happened today. This matter will definitely not end so easily.
This is a shame for all the people of Silver Snow City.
Let’s retreat!”
whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The djinn gargoyles charged ahead, the armed airships carrying the wizards retreated behind, and the goblins ran wildly in panic on the snow.
The [Dragon Eagle Legion] was still ten thousand meters away from the [Silver Mountain Peaks], and the Silver Snow City Legion guarding the [Silver Mountain Peaks] retreated completely.
Muriel burst out laughing:
"These mages are really interesting. They know they can't beat us. Can't they be more low-key? Why do they have to shout so loudly?"
Qi Ge looked at the mage sympathetically and said:
"They'll always shout. If you don't fight them after they shout, you'll just lose face.
If you don't even have the courage to shout, then you've lost all your dignity."
Without even attempting to resist, Moril and the Seven Pigeons climbed up the Silver Mountain Range.
The silver snow on the [Silver Mountain Peaks] is very strange.
If you reach out and touch it, you will find that this silver snow is not only not cold, but even very warm.
Silver snow is rich in energy and can even condense into level 4 resource [Mountain Silver].
These energies are locked in the silver snow in a magical way, keeping the temperature of the silver snow at around 37 degrees.
In the past life, there were stupid players who made snowman dolls out of silver snow. They were very popular among players, and even some NPCs would buy them repeatedly.
Especially the snowman dolls in the image of Muriel and Silika, and there is also a special VIP collection customized version.
A snowman doll can be sold for 20,000 gold coins, but it is still in short supply.
But what’s amazing is that the best-selling item in Bracada is the hot popsicles aimed at women.
This shows that the mages of Bracada have suffered severe physical damage from long-term magical research.
Qi Ge held the [Natural Wonder Poké Ball] in his hand, wondering how to use it.
He looked carefully for a long time, but couldn't find the use button on the [Natural Wonder Poké Ball].
"Maybe it's thrown like the Poké Balls in the anime?"
Qi Ge raised his hand and wanted to throw the [Natural Wonder Poké Ball] onto the snow.
Halfway through throwing it, he began to regret it.
"No, the [Natural Wonder Poké Ball] is a one-time treasure. If you fail, it will be automatically consumed."
“It’s not surprising that I haven’t seen this thing on the forum in my previous life.
But as a demigod, Molly had never seen the [Natural Wonder Poké Ball].
This means that it may be an exclusive item for architects.”
Qi Ge hesitated for a moment, but decided to go find the teacher to ask first.
…
…
"【Natural Wonder Poké Ball】? Why would my apprentice ask that?"
Aged looked a little confused.
“The [Natural Wonder Poké Ball] shouldn’t be an item that he should be able to access at his level.
Except for a very small number of man-made wonders, most of the natural wonders are supreme miracles that can only be produced after countless evolutions of the Yasa world.
Only architects above the level of demigod can create the [Natural Wonder Poké Ball] that can forcibly transfer natural wonders.
If he wants it, there are two more in the inheritance my teacher left me."
Li Xiaobai immediately repeated Aged's words to Qi Ge.
He glanced at his friend's message, raised his head and asked:
“Big Master.
The boss said that he has a [Natural Wonder Poké Ball] and is planning to move [Silver Mountain Peaks] away. I want to ask you how to use the [Natural Wonder Poké Ball]? "
"Huh?! [Silver Mountain Peaks]?"
Aged's expression looked a little painful.
“Why did he move [Silver Mountain Peaks]?
[Silver Mountain Peaks] originally belonged to us.
[Silver Mountain Peaks] was moved back from the Chaos Zone by Master Kredel. It is our sect’s private property and brings us a lot of income every year.
Now that Master Kreider is not here, Silver Mountain Peaks will be managed under my name."
Aged thought about it carefully, sighed, and said:
“Well, if my disciple wants it, just give it to him.
Xiaobai, tell Qi Ge that by holding the [Natural Wonder Poké Ball] and placing your hand on the [Silver Mountain Peaks], you will be able to communicate with the [Silver Mountain Peaks].
But you have to tell him to be careful, because Silver Mountain Peak has a bad temper."
After seeing Li Xiaobai’s reply, Qi Ge became depressed.
grass!
After all the twists and turns, I ended up causing trouble for myself?!
What is the value of Bracada's top second-generation rich?
Our sect actually has a natural wonder in Bracada that can stably produce mithril?
Qi Ge finally understood why Teacher Aged seemed to have endless money to spend.
It turns out that he really can’t spend all the money!
It’s just that poverty limits Qi Ge’s imagination.
"The arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot. Now that we are here, we have to move the Silver Mountain Peaks away.
Just think of it as paying less tax to Bracada."
Qi Ge plunged his hand deeply into the thick snowdrift and touched the rock formations of the Silver Mountain Peaks.
He closed his eyes and felt it carefully.
Soon, he felt a vague voice.
"Architect, are you calling me?"
The voice was a deep male voice, low and magnetic but without any emotion.
It was as cold as rocks buried under frozen soil.
Qi Ge responded in his heart:
"Yes, I am asking for your response."
“I serve the demigod Kredel.
I can feel some of the Master's power in you.
What do you want from me?"
The ancestor is really awesome.
Qi Ge secretly praised him, and then said in his heart:
"I would like to ask you to follow me out of Bracada and into my territory."
"I refuse." Silver Mountain Peaks' response was firm and without any hesitation.
"Crider promised me that he would help me collect all the parts of my body.
I'm not going anywhere until he delivers on his promise."
"All parts of your body?"
Qi Ge was shocked.
"Don't tell me that you are incomplete now?"
"Yes."
【Silver Mountain Peaks】 said:
“[Silver Mountain Peaks] is just a part of my body.
My body is made up of peaks of gold, peaks of silver, and peaks of steel.
I used to be the roof of the underground world and the leader of all mountains.
The countless dwarves who believe in me regard me as a sacred mountain.
They gave me a name - Tianfeng!"
Tianfeng...what a domineering name.
The Peak of Gold, the Peak of Silver, and the Peak of Steel.
If the Silver Peak corresponds to the [Silver Mountain Peaks], it can produce level 5 resource Mithril.
Then, wouldn't it be that [Peak of Gold] and [Peak of Steel] correspond to adamantium and orchid steel respectively?
hiss.
That's quite amazing.
When Qi Ge thought of this possibility, his heart started beating wildly with excitement.
He quickly asked tentatively:
“Brother Shenshan, I am the successor of Grandmaster Kredel.
The master is now busy and can't get away.
I should continue to carry out his promise.
How about this, you follow me into the Poké Ball first, and when you reach my territory, I will find a way to help you find your body?"
Tianfeng's voice became even colder:
"The rest of my body almost fell into chaos.
It was the Mother Goddess who used Her great power to seal up that past.
To reclaim my body, I need to travel to dangerous echoes of history.
From the distant fragments of time and space, gain the recognition of all the heroic souls of the dwarves.
Even Credle failed after trying twice.
Can you, an ordinary architect, do this?"
Echoes of history!
Qi Ge suddenly became energetic:
"If it's hard to say anything else, I'm familiar with the historical echoes!"
"Stop talking big."
Tianfeng said coldly.
“I’m not exaggerating, I’m really familiar with the historical echoes.
Brother Shenshan, please believe me, I will definitely help you get your body back."
Tianfeng's voice was somewhat helpless:
"Since you refuse to give up, let me sense how many historical .
As long as you obtain a complete blueprint of a miracle building in the historical echo , I will follow you."
"A blueprint for a miracle building?!"
Qi Ge was extremely surprised.
"Are you scared now?
The historical fragment that belongs to me has the extremely high difficulty of giving birth to the fragments of mythical buildings.
It is far beyond the reach of a novice architect like you.”
"Oh no. I mean..."
Qi Ge was halfway through explaining when he suddenly realized that even if he told her, the other party might not believe him, so he simply said:
“Brother Shenshan, you should just sense it directly.”
Tianfeng's voice sounded somewhat helpless.
"Are you still not giving up?
Those small miracle buildings that can only produce miracle troops don't count. What I want is a complete and real miracle building.
Since you won't give up, I'll just sense it.
Free your mind.”
Huh? How do I let go?
[System prompt: The natural wonder [Silver Mountain Peaks] wants to explore your historical echo records. Do you agree? ]
Seven Pigeons: ...
So this is how I let go of my mind...
Yes, this is very Yinghun world.
"agree."
"What?! Mother Goddess! What did I see?
The Lunhe Forest, the thatched hut of the three goblins, the fragments of the goblin utopia... the wooden forest, the cold pond crypt, the underground river, and the cave harpy's nest!
Oh my god, so many miraculous buildings and mythical architectural fragments?
There is actually a complete mythological building? !
Incredible! It's incredible!
Who are you? Who are you?"
Tianfeng's voice suddenly wavered, and even the [Silver Mountain Peaks] were shaking slightly, as if there was an earthquake.
"Brother Shenshan, I've told you before, I'm the successor of Kredel.
Brother, how about this transcript? Is it satisfactory?"
"No, no, you're my brother!
As long as you are willing to swear to the Mother Goddess to help me find my body, I will go with you now."
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for triggering the mission: [Underground Mountains]]
【Underground Mountains
Architect-specific tasks
Mission requirements: Go to the historical echo [Underground Mountains] and obtain the natural wonders [Bottom of the Golden Mountain] and [Pillars of the Steel Mountain].
Mission Rewards:
1. Obtain natural wonders: [Silver Mountain Peaks] (obtained in advance)
2. Obtain the natural wonder: [Shenshan·Tianfeng].
3. Obtain the clue [Obelisk: Rune Fortress].
Mission duration: 2 years.
Mission penalty: The hero receives the [Silver Mountain Peaks] curse, and the curse effect is: Every time you enter the historical echo, it must be the [Underground Mountain]. 】
[Do you accept the mission [Underground Mountains]? ]
Wait a moment!
[Underground mountains]?
Could it be that...
Qi Ge quickly checked his screenshots.
[When the player successfully collects the five wonder buildings, namely, the Cold Pond Crypt, the Immortal Forest, the Cave Harpy's Lair, the Underground River, and the Underground Mountain, they will be combined into the mythical building: the Ancient Crypt]
It’s true!
Qi Ge was very surprised.
Could it be that the natural wonder of Shenshan Tianfeng is part of the [underground mountains]?
hiss.
How amazing is this mythical building, the ancient crypt?
“There’s nothing much to say. I will definitely go to the Underground Mountains. The curse of the Silver Mountains is more of a help than a curse.
Even if [Underground Mountains] is really difficult, I have many opportunities to challenge it repeatedly."
Qi Ge chose to accept the mission and took out the [Natural Wonder Poké Ball].
"Brother Shenshan, please."
"My future is in your hands."
[System prompt: Do you want to use the [Natural Wonder Poké Ball] to collect the natural wonder [Silver Mountain Peaks]? ]
"Sure!"
At the moment when Qi Ge made his choice, the entire [Silver Mountain Range] began to shake violently!
A mountain as big as 140,000 basketball courts rose from the ground in an instant!
It twisted and shrank little by little in the air, and drilled into the [Natural Wonder Poké Ball] which was only the size of a palm!
The violent tremor reached Silver Snow City, and the residents of Silver Snow City ran around in panic.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Oh my god! Look up in the sky! The Silver Mountain Peaks are flying!"
"What are those black spots? Quick, show me the telescope. Damn! Black dragon!!"
The Lord of Silver Snow City stared blankly out the window, terrified.
He said to the [Magic Crystal Communicator] in a lost and confused manner:
“Okay, I’ve figured out why they came to Silver Snow City.
[Silver Mountain Peaks] was robbed!
Oh my god! They actually stole the Silver Mountain Peaks!
I'm not kidding, it's [Silver Mountain Peaks]!
The entire [Silver Mountain Range] was taken away by them!"
The chosen ones of Yasha who were doing fairy missions around Silver Snow City were even more excited.
"Big event! This could be some hidden mission.
Brothers, stop watching the cutscenes and rush forward! "
"Wait for me! I want to go too."
This spectacular scene is enough to go down in history!
Everyone will remember that today, the natural wonder of Silver Snow City, the [Silver Mountain Peaks], was taken away by Negan.
Qi Ge got what he wanted and made a super big news!
The [Natural Wonders Poké Ball] collected the [Silver Mountain Peaks] very quickly. In just twelve minutes, the entire [Silver Mountain Peaks] was completely stored in the [Natural Wonders Poké Ball].
Amid countless surprised, frightened, or admiring gazes, Qi Ge led the [Dragon Eagle Legion] and left leisurely!
Muriel put her arm around Qi Ge's shoulders and laughed wildly.
"Hahaha! Awesome! Little military advisor! You actually did it!
This is a whole giant natural wonder!
Now, the whole Bracada was in panic.
As long as word of this reaches the front line, all the mages with natural wonders in their territories will be distracted.
They will definitely find a way to run back!"
Qi Ge smiled slightly and continued:
“Not only that, the intelligence of our Black Dragon Legion in the heart of Bracada will also be transmitted to the front line because of the robbery of the Silver Mountain Peaks.
Bracada could not block such huge news.
Soon, all the lords at the front line will receive news of the unrest in the rear.
The more things we create, the bigger they become, the more upset they become.”
Muriel looked at Qi Ge with sparkling eyes and was in a very good mood.
"Little Military Advisor, this is beyond my expectation.
I am looking forward to seeing what miracles you can create.
What are we going to do next?
Qi Ge smiled slightly, pointed his finger at the map, and said in a deep voice:
"Next, let's go back!
We returned to the snow plateau and circled back to the heart of Bracada from the snow plateau!
This way, we can avoid the [Thunder Lord Legion] that is heading our way.
I have a feeling that those factories and mines that had been cleared of all foreign objects should have started to resume work.
If they dare to resume work, we will dare to rob them!
I want to make them afraid of ropes for ten years once they are bitten by a snake.
Silent, omnipresent, strike and run, every move is fatal!
This is the most terrifying strategic deterrent that our [Dragonhawk Legion] can bring."
