Chapter 455: Surrender and no killing, so surrender first
"William?"
Lind looked at the combat power measurement unit. The other party now seemed to be ready to completely integrate into the sacrificial team in front, with a trance-like expression.
He just came to see what the mysterious Mechanicus was planning to do and to reap some benefits, but he didn't want to get anyone involved.
The roar ahead was getting stronger and stronger.
The wind howled inside the inner wall of the "copper furnace hot pot", circling around and around. The dark yellow clouds in the sky were also rolled into cylinders by the wind, like a yellow cloth cover being put down, completely isolating the light from the outside.
However, the area in front of the sacrifice did not become dark. Instead, it shone with golden light, like a sun that had just been ignited, which hurt people's eyes and made it impossible to look directly at it.
I could vaguely make out some things, the boiling blood, and the towering figure that seemed like a giant.
Although the faces were a little blurry, Lind was very sure that it had absolutely nothing to do with the Mechanicus. This group of people were probably just collecting knowledge.
He couldn't help but turn his head away, and when he looked at Tione, he found that she looked normal, staring quietly at the golden sun. Then he looked at William, but William seemed to have seen some truth of the world, and a look of enlightenment appeared on his face.
"Is this another Overlord?" The Beast Overlord whispered in Lind's ear. He was not affected, but very worried.
"dominate?"
"An awakened master, his strength must be no less than my original strength. He looks a little familiar."
I really encountered a god.
Lind's curiosity was suddenly aroused. Even though he knew very well that looking directly at gods was not a wise behavior, if he looked at them a few more times, he might be able to distinguish the difference between gods and humans.
His sight was slowly drawn to the object that was shining with golden light. Linde could feel the heat from the object, as if the flames were igniting his body through his eyes.
Even if he had resistance to fire, he couldn't bear it at this moment. If he continued to watch, he might really be burned to death by the flames.
Do not look directly at the gods.
But I couldn't control my consciousness and kept looking subconsciously.
Tione on the side suddenly reached out and pulled his arm. Linde suddenly woke up and instinctively closed his eyes. At the same time, he pressed William's head and forced his head into the ground.
William's strength in all aspects was far inferior to Linde's, and he had entered some inexplicable state at this time and had no strength to resist at all.
When Lind opened his eyes again, he found that the golden light and heat had all disappeared.
He is a giant, wearing exquisite armor made of leather inlaid with copper, but without gears or other things. A scroll is hung around his waist. Even though it is sealed with some kind of sealing wax with magic marks, the scroll still emits bursts of magical light from time to time.
A short cape with a pattern never seen before hung on his shoulders.
When Lind saw the scroll, he felt that it was destined for him, but the undead man was not there, so there was no destiny for him at the moment.
The powerful god finally suppressed his golden light, and his figure gradually condensed, and he was able to appear in front of everyone as a giant, rather than being unable to be looked at directly.
"Sir..." William's struggling voice came out muffled from the earth and rocks, and Linde finally let go of him and let him out.
"woke up?"
"What...is that?" William asked.
When he spoke, there was a hint of yearning in his tone, as if he would be willing to sacrifice everything he had, including his soul, just to get closer to that powerful being.
"Someone not easy to mess with." Linde glanced at the beast lord. The other party was now hiding behind him with its tail between its legs. It seemed that the gods were not so peaceful.
"He is really..." William wanted to speak.
Lind found that the giant in the distance suddenly raised his head and looked in his direction, and his heart suddenly sank.
It was discovered!
But the other party calmly withdrew his gaze.
"That's Cecapus." The Lord of Beasts suddenly spoke up, "He's the God of Giants, the Lord of Giants."
"Secapus?"
This name sounds a bit too familiar. It seems that in the forum, the country adjacent to the south of the Black Swamp Kingdom some time ago was called Sekaps. At that time, the most interesting entertainment news was that all the undead abandoned Sekaps and moved collectively to the Black Swamp Kingdom.
From the novice village to the advanced players, no one was left behind.
If this giant god is connected to the Kingdom of Sekapsu, it means that the country has a god in its complete form. Although the god will not fight for humans, it is unlikely to ignore everything.
"Given Rania's personality, she probably won't attack the Kingdom of Sekaps." Lind thought about it and felt that there was a high possibility that Rania would take action.
When the undead were still around, she might have been more cautious; but when the threat of the undead disappeared, Rania would definitely give up her serious and cautious thinking.
She would definitely not let go of the opportunity to lose the undead and would definitely try her best to expand the territory.
With the massive supply of resources from the undead, the Rand Kingdom and the Black Swamp Kingdom now have no shortage of great knight-level warriors, and they can form combat forces.
There are also some people with truly outstanding talents, that is, those who can at most reach a higher level of strength in their lifetime, and they are not let go either, and all resources are invested in their cultivation.
There aren't many top-notch warriors, but they are definitely enough to run rampant in the "Novice Village Continent".
This is also the instinct of every king. When he is strong enough, he will feel that the place he lives in is a bit small.
Regardless of economy or strength, the Kingdom of Rand must be the strongest on the Xilu Continent. The information comes from the entire Xilu Continent Kingdom data collected by the Undead, and the credibility is as high as 80%!
"Are you familiar with Him?" Lind asked.
The beast master replied: "Cercarpus also believes that he is the god of knowledge and that he has committed a great sin, which is greed and endless thirst for knowledge. In the stories of the Demon Land and the faith of ercarpus, there are legends about finding the giant's treasure. According to legend, as long as you can find the giant's treasure, you can call ercarpus to appear, answer his questions correctly and sincerely, and then you can get the knowledge you want from him. If you answer incorrectly, ercarpus will disappear."
After finishing speaking, the beast master added: "Not familiar."
"What about you? What kind of god are you called?" Linde asked curiously.
The Lord of Beasts doesn't sound as impressive as the God of Giants, the God of Knowledge, etc.
"No."
The god of pets? This is indeed appropriate, but Linde refrained from saying it out loud, lest the kitten scratch his face.
The previous ceremony is still going on.
But none of the two lumps of iron could answer Secapus's question, and Lind had never heard of the question before, as magic was his blind spot.
Just as the two Mechanicus were regretting that they had such a wealth of knowledge but could not answer even a single question, the giant Cecapus looked in the direction of Lind.
"who are you?"
"Is this a problem?" Lind asked.
His appearance startled the two Mechanicus. They had never expected that there were other people around. Especially after they found that there was a hazy feeling about Lind that they could not see through or see clearly, they became even more nervous.
Then he was dissatisfied with the giant's question. His own question was difficult, but the black knight's question was easy. "Leonardo DiCaprio," Lind replied.
"I can't be sure whether your answer is correct." said the giant.
However, Lind knew the reason why the other party couldn't see through him. As the womb that gave birth to gods, [Fox Heart] had a hidden effect.
“So, your answer is correct.”
The giant looked at Lind and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"who are you?"
"The God of Giants, the God of Knowledge, 'Giant' Cecapus."
"I think you answered correctly."
He completed his mission and slowly disappeared.
"That's it?" Linde was a little disappointed, but he also liked [Fox Heart]. It was a good thing for hiding one's identity and it was indeed very useful.
"Sir, why didn't you ask something else just now?" William asked.
"I think the most important thing is to make Him disappear as soon as possible."
Being stared at by such a powerful god in his prime, Linde felt uncomfortable all over. He was afraid that he would not dare to draw his sword when facing such a being in the future.
But Lind breathed a sigh of relief, and William was still savoring the moment when the iron lump of the Mechanicus approached.
"You shouldn't have asked that question just now."
Linde was too lazy to chat with them, he drew his sword and rushed forward: "William, do it!"
After saying that, Linde took a step forward and suddenly shortened the distance between him and his opponent. He used the sword in his hand to easily pry open the metal arm on his left. With a slight flick of his wrist, the sword "whoosh" hit his wrist like a twig, and parts exploded all over the ground.
He turned his hand again and hit the iron lump in the face with the sword. With Linde's current strength, dealing with two iron lumps was simply bullying.
After knocking one down, Linde turned sideways and kicked the other half-iron lump in the chest. Unexpectedly, the opponent started vomiting blood after being kicked, but soon started fighting again while spitting blood.
It was very strange that he attacked while spitting out blood.
The sharpened magic bullet hit Lind's body like a fierce fist landing on him.
There were dense magic bullets, each of which had at least the power of 1st-level magic and a fierce attack speed, but Lind did not dodge at all and strode forward. The damage caused by those magic bullets on him was repaired in the blink of an eye, and his physical strength was not exhausted, so he could ignore all attacks and walked forward calmly without shaking.
Noor was terrified.
The magic machine allowed Nur to say goodbye to the complicated steps of casting spells. He could use the magic organs to release magic bullets in batches and quickly, like an attack like a storm. Ordinary people didn't dare to take it head-on, but the person in front of him moved forward calmly, not affected at all.
When he looked at his companion again, he found that he had been completely torn apart.
His mentality gradually collapsed.
"What do you want to do?" Nur looked at the mysterious man, unable to guess his strength.
"Flesh and blood are weak, and machinery can ascend?" Lind raised his hand and grabbed Nur's arm, pulling it off with a sudden tug.
The gap in strength between the two sides is too big, and Lind's overall attributes have been improved instead of just a single combat capability. His 4-ring and 5-ring strengths represent all-round strength without bias.
Even because of the emblem of the Daughter of Night, the shortcomings of magic have been made up.
"You!" Nur looked at Lind in shock.
Although he could not see the other party's identity and strength, nor could he see his appearance clearly, Nur could be sure that the other party was a person made entirely of flesh and blood.
Can the human body be so powerful?
"Mechanicus, are all of them like you, transforming their bodies into lumps of iron?" Lind casually picked up the arm that he had snatched from the other party. Good stuff.
Although I can't use it myself, some disabled soldiers may be able to rely on it to change their fate.
Noor dropped his weapon and said he would not resist anymore.
"I need the knowledge of the Mechanicus." Lind went straight to the point.
Noor asked back: "Why didn't you just ask the God of Wisdom directly?"
"Forgot." He answered casually.
Lind has always had one requirement for his trading partners, which is that he must be able to kill them, otherwise he will not feel at ease holding on to the goods.
You can also trade with people who are not too different in strength, but if you can't even look the other person in the face, it's better to stay as far away from them as possible. At most, you can give the undead a task and let them take action.
Unable to defeat him, and seemingly unable to convince him either, Nur chose to cooperate obediently.
Surrender without killing.
He took the initiative to fight for it without being reminded by the other party.
The teammate who had been dismantled was a lesson for him. He didn't know how many of the opponent's energy cores were still lit. If they were all shattered, he would be dead.
Noor is very conscious of their own efforts. Giving up their human bodies also means giving up human emotions and even logic, and doing things more rationally.
"It's not that I don't want to help you get revenge, I'm very rational." Nur said in his heart to his companion who had been disassembled into parts, although his brain had not been modified and his thinking was not affected.
Linde looked at the other members of the Mechanicus and said, "These are the treasures."
"They can only be considered as guards, and have undergone the lowest level of transformation." Noor said, "They don't have energy cores."
"This is what I want." He doesn't need it since it's all mechanical.
Lind walked up to a man, raised his hand and knocked on the other's chest armor, which turned out to be a magic exoskeleton.
It’s a pity that the immortal is not here, otherwise he would have made a fortune.
Thinking of this, Linde looked at Noor with fiery eyes: "Are you good at manufacturing?"
"I am better at charging into battle." Noor said, "I don't have the skills to create energy cores yet. Our Plover School focuses on transforming ourselves to fit our souls."
Lind nodded casually and pointed at the armor: "What about this one?"
Is this the defective product?
Nur, who was originally worried that Lind would steal the core knowledge of the Plover School, breathed a sigh of relief. But was the other party really satisfied with this? Impossible, no one wanted this kind of garbage. Only those low-level beastmen would obtain an "iron gall" for the sake of "title" and make mechanical armor for external wear.
"It's simple," Noor said.
He can produce it in batches with his eyes closed.
Lind discovered that although Nur was tall and strong, and quite powerful, he was even more timid than the Beast Lord, and he told him valuable things without any threat from him.
