Volume 15: Organisms and Organisms and Organisms Chapter 49: The Tenth Crown: The End of the Reincarnation (Part 2)
"You, you, you are the master of the Undead Hall, why are you here... I..."
"'Why can't I be here?'"
The Black Knight on the throne smiled.
"'This is my territory. You are trespassing into the realm of Holy Light. The time for explanation is over. You may as well die.'"
"No! Wait a minute! I'm on a battleship from the Free Alliance! We're here to transport players to the battle site! We have documents and information ! The Mechanical Holy Spirit has them! We really don't plan to do anything, really!"
Seeing the Black Knight preparing to take a photo, the golden-haired captain said hurriedly with a cold sweat on his forehead.
What does it mean that a big shot like you suddenly takes a boat out for a stroll? Do you enjoy the pleasure of scaring people to the point of bleeding into their brains?
Facing the black knight's raised hand in the video, the captain could only feel his heart beating. After watching the black knight seem to be investigating the mechanical holy spirit and gradually lowering his hand, as if he had passed the test, the captain finally breathed a sigh of relief. The players were watching this NPC encounter with great interest, each holding a camera and recording non-stop.
But soon, just when everyone was relieved, the atmosphere around them turned cold again because of a sentence.
"…But is that really all?"
The black knight sitting on the black throne suddenly said, his voice full of amusement.
"'Aren't you planning to make a demonstration against the entire Holy Light Force? I look forward to your demonstration, just like your high-handed speech on the ship, but only those who can show actual achievements are qualified to speak. So, come and show me your majesty. I will give you the most fair deal.'"
"I, can I not show it..."
"'real?'"
"real."
"'It's a shame that we don't get to see the power of the world-renowned Freedom Alliance.'"
Intentional, this guy definitely did it on purpose.
Looking at the black knight dressed in black and pretending to be so cool, the captain gritted his teeth and felt a burning pain on his face.
The strength of the Free Alliance? Their background? The warship that was still stuck in space was shooting at him, as if asking if he was worthy? However, this was already the best result. The captain decided to take note of this. After all, there was a long way to go, and there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with each other in the future.
However, just as the captain and the NPCs were fantasizing about the Free Alliance defeating the Holy Light Sect with ease, the hoarse voice of the Black Knight shattered their illusion and once again pulled them into the cruel reality.
"'Since you're not going to protest against me, let's talk about tariffs.'"
"Tariffs?"
"'That's right, tariffs. Since you want to sneak in from this subspace, you have to pay a certain fee at the customs. This place was originally a key weak point on the way to the Holy Light Sect's sphere of influence, so we set up a toll station here, and unfortunately you are the first customer. Do you have any opinion?'"
"...I have no objection. But what about the tariff?"
“‘It’s simple.’”
The black knight sitting on the throne spread his hands, as if trying to smile.
"'I need one-third of each of your souls, including those immortal players.'"
"This is impossible!"
"'It looks like you're going to die here.'"
"Wait, let me try another option."
“…”
Ten minutes later, the transaction was completed.
Looking at the Free Alliance warships that had fled the White Prison in a panic, like a broken-back dog, the Black Knight held the glowing soul ball in his hand and fell into deep thought. Facing the empty blue-black Gothic hall around him, after a while, he suddenly stood up and stretched his soul to a certain place in the void.
“…Are these souls enough?”
"Well, that's enough. It's hard for you to play this role."
Po Xun, who emerged from the void, looked at the large group of souls and nodded. He then showed a rare expression of pity when he looked at the black knight who stood up from the throne and stretched.
The main body was out there looking for trouble, while the clones were busy running around. Not to mention the Death Knight who hadn't appeared yet, the White Knight, the War Knight, was smiling and politely interacting with other staff members. The Red Knight was sorting out the players' combat systems and analyzing the relevant data related to the players' combat habits and mental states with the scientific research department.
The newly born Black Knight is not very capable, but his trading ability is very special. He is destined to make unfair trades and even plunder other people's information and brand. Through such powerful plundering and the series of performances just now , the ups and downs of mental states and pheromones are all gathered in these traded souls. They will be used as a location to lock the mental states of those players. It seems unfair to NPCs, but for players, offsetting the weakening of souls is just a matter of dying together.
In other words, they will have dozens more player observers to determine the changes of other players. Although the cost of this improvement is that the Black Knight has to sell his integrity.
"By the way, the main body asked me to ask you, how long will it take to open the portal to the Eastern World?"
"Not sure. If it's good, it might be tomorrow. If it's not good, it'll take three months. It depends. Any questions?"
"No, nothing. I just want to confirm something."
That's it, then.
The Black Knight shook his head and patted the pitch-black throne.
In just a moment, the pure white blockade space and the planetary battleships that seemed stuck in time and space jumped into the subspace and dived.
Those who believe that the Holy Light Battleship will be stuck in space because of its excessive power are all opportunists. All this is just to make the appearance look more credible and make the player's mentality change more detailed. However, those who escaped may not understand this painstaking effort.
"What will the Eastern world be like..."
Since this is a different universe, can I follow the main body and continue my business? It would be great if I could.
Looking at the normal starry sky that appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, the Black Knight squinted his eyes and looked at the universe with a white scar, thinking about this question quietly.
As for the black knight who was thinking about life, he did not feel that Po Xun in the void had not gone far, but frowned at the black knight who was facing the starry sky and thinking about life, and secretly took a piece of pheromone from it. After confirming that the black knight had not discovered it, he secretly returned to the space.
That's all.
Looking at the two balls of pheromones entangled into a whole, Bo Xun thought secretly.
