Chapter 120: The formation of the land"Sir, Christine knows I was wrong. I shouldn't have angered you." The silver-haired, brown-skinned mature woman lowered her head devoutly and kissed the back of Li Cheng's feet. Li Cheng looked down at her "3" shaped peach buttocks from top to bottom and nodded slightly: "Christine, get up. I forgive your sins." "Sir!" The silver-haired mayor raised his head in fear: "Christine doesn't dare." Li Cheng shook his head and put his hands behind his back: "I attacked you first to test your ability and whether you can become a part of Mother's plan, so you did nothing wrong." He decided to first calm this suicidal woman down, and then think of a way to kill her in the next two days. Unexpectedly, when Christine heard this, the panic on her face became even more intense. She naturally understood Li Cheng's words to mean that she was no longer eligible to participate in the subsequent plans. It was obvious that the unknown master in front of him was still angry. But he valued his reputation and didn't want to leave a bad impression in the eyes of his subordinates.
There are some things that leaders can say. But there are some things that leaders cannot say. The most important rule for a subordinate to make progress is to stand in line. The second most important thing is to understand the leader's intentions and make sure that the credit goes to the leader and the blame is yours. Thinking of this, Christine realized that if she couldn't please Li Cheng today, she would be excluded from the Witch's plan forever. So she gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, opened the prison door, and rushed to Vivian. Vivian was frightened by Christine's sudden rush towards her and unconsciously wanted to step back. But when she thought that she was the ominous lover in Christian's eyes and that she represented the face of her ominous brother, she forced herself to muster up the courage and look Christian in the eye. Their eyes collided in the air, almost sparking. next second. With a "swish" sound, the rope that bound Vivian was cut directly by Christine. She had already knelt in front of Vivian and lowered her head. “Ms. Vivian, I don’t know your identity, let alone the relationship between you and Mr. Unknown. I’m sorry I offended you, so please punish me!” This scene shocked everyone present. It is hard to imagine that the leader of the City Hall, the candidate for the Son of God of the Mother Goddess of Fraud, the powerful fighter of the Witch of Rebirth, the living legend of the City of Fraud - Ms. Christine, would lower her proud head to a half-demon. This scene undoubtedly shows that Christine is convinced by Li Cheng. Even Vivian herself did not expect things to develop in this direction. When she was first thrown into prison, she thought something had happened to her unknown brother and was planning how to escape and avenge her unknown brother. He never thought that two hours later, the famous legend in this city of fraud would kneel in front of him. To be honest, Vivian was under a lot of pressure.
She really wanted to whisper "Get up" and end this performance that made her heart pound. But when she considered that this matter would affect her unknown brother's reputation, Vivian's eyes suddenly became sharp. She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and said loudly: "Ms. Christine, in theory, ignorance is not a crime, and I should forgive your guilt, but this matter concerns the reputation of Mr. Unknown, and I cannot make a big deal out of a small matter." "Since you are sincerely repentant, I will deduct one year's salary and bonus from you as a first offense and compensate you with 500 magic emblem stones." "Do you have any objection?" "Don't dare, Christine." The brown-skinned mayor lowered his head and glanced at Li Cheng out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that he had no objection, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had not done anything to provoke or hurt Vivian. Otherwise, I might not even be able to save my life. On the other side, Li Cheng looked at Christine who was fighting wits and courage with the air, and then looked at Vivian who looked like a queen, and suddenly felt a little funny. The blower and the weird background music finally stopped. The glow of dawn finally shone into the City Hall, just like light dispelling darkness. The morning of the sixth day arrived. Li Cheng, who was preparing to carry out his "kill them all" plan, was standing with his hands behind his back, inspecting the work. His style was more like a leader than a leader. Peart and others stood behind him, with light in their eyes. Now that the young master has arrived, they have a backbone. At the same time, they also learned what the witch's mission was. Burn this city to ashes. At this moment, they no longer question the legitimacy of this policy. For the followers of the Reborn Witch, whatever the Witch's children say is the truth. At the same time, the examinees were untied by several guards and walked out of the cells, stretching their bodies. But this time, they looked at Li Cheng from afar, watching his leadership style, but they had no intention of going up to talk to him. At this moment, they felt the class gap between them. Only Mu and Karenina, the two little ones, came over heartlessly and started chatting with each other with laughter. This may be the advantage of their character. "Boss, you are awesome! I am not well educated, and I can't think of any other words besides 'awesome'." "Brother Li Cheng, if there are fun things like this in the future, can you call me? I want to experience it too!" "Definitely next time."
Seeing that the three of them were still chatting as freely as they did at the beginning, several candidates finally breathed a sigh of relief. Anri scratched his head and walked forward. And the others standing behind Li Cheng, Pirt and others, no longer had the ferocious look they had last night. Instead, they squinted their eyes like good grandfathers, asking about their well-being and what they were asking. "Have you got a meal yet?" "Are you used to living here?" "Do you need a maid to serve you?" Such problems. These postures also made the candidates feel as if they were in another world. You didn't look like this last night! The sense of class gap that had just disappeared came to my mind again. "Okay, you guys, what happens next has nothing to do with you. Just stay in the city hall until it's over." Li Cheng walked to An Li and patted him on the shoulder. "Okay, okay, Boss Li Cheng, um..." An Li asked with a stiff upper lip: "Excuse me, can I call you Boss?" "Whatever you want. By the way." Li Cheng took out a few position cards from his pocket and threw them to a few people: "Okay, these should be enough for you to get good blessings." After he finished speaking, he smiled and nodded to everyone, put his hands behind his back, and left the prison area with the two heroes and several city hall leaders. "Thank you." Anri and other candidates bowed quickly. Only after the group's backs completely disappeared did they straighten up and look at the signs in their hands. [A-level position: Administrative Secretary.] 【A-level position - Marketing planning. 】 [A-level position: Director of the Cultural Department.] [A-level positions...] All of them are A-level position cards. The number of position cards is the same as the number of candidates. Clearly, this is for them. Everyone has a share. Holding these position cards, the pupils of several candidates flickered and tears welled up in their eyes. They knew very well how rare an A-level position card was and what kind of blessing one could obtain by obtaining one. Anri raised his head and sighed, remaining silent for a long time. Until his neck was almost stiff, he lowered his head and clenched his fists: "When can I become a strong man like Boss Li Cheng?" "You?" Nalan Yu raised his eyebrows: "Excuse me, An Liqing, you'd better set a more realistic goal."
"It hurts, Nalan Qing." An Li's mouth twitched: "What about you, what is your goal?" "My target." Nalan Yu shook his head, his pupils flickering as he looked at the end of the corridor where the figure disappeared. "Nalan Qing." "what happened?" "I advise you to set realistic goals as well." “…You’re also quite good at talking.” - On the other side, surrounded by the crowd, Li Cheng finally took the magic elevator and arrived at the fifteenth underground floor of the City Hall. After passing through a series of corridors decorated with blue flames, they finally stopped outside a huge bronze door. According to Christine, this underground space was excavated according to the wishes of the Witch of Regeneration, and the winding roads inside it entangle the entire City of Fraud. "Master Unknown." Christine bowed and saluted: "We are here. This is the altar that the witch asked us to protect." "Well, have any of you been in there before?" Li Cheng asked without comment. "We dare not, this is a holy place." "Okay." Li Cheng nodded, took out the key of the altar from his arms, and inserted it into the keyhole. There was a rumble. The huge bronze door that had been sealed for a long time opened to both sides. The horrifying weight caused the entire basement of the city hall to tremble. After seeing this scene, the last bit of doubt that the leaders had about Li Cheng disappeared. "Everyone, this is not an area you can touch." Li Cheng put his hands behind his back and continued to operate the Riddler, lying casually: "The secrets here are so secret that at your level, you will be swallowed by the darkness if you just take a look at them." "We understand." Christine and others quickly agreed. "Well, let me assign you a task." "Please speak." "My mother is coming back soon. Before she comes back, the City of Fraud needs a new owner." Li Cheng smiled and said, "Who do you think is more suitable?" "Of course it's you, sir!" Peart said happily, expressing that he really wanted to make progress. "Haha, I'm going to run for the Chief Speaker of the City of Fraud, but the support rate required for this position is 100%." "We will definitely support you, sir!" Christine followed closely and expressed her desire for progress. "Of course I know you are loyal, but it's not enough." Li Cheng said: "There are still many people in this city who will not support me, such as the current City Hall." “Your Excellency means…” Christine’s eyes flashed with a cold light: “Those scums from the fraudulent sects and the abyss nobles are blocking the way?” "hehe." Li Cheng didn't say anything, just smiled without commenting. "I understand." Christine turned his head and made a throat-slitting gesture to everyone: "One group of special forces."
Overnight, the witch's followers who were originally standing behind Li Cheng disappeared. I believe a bloody storm will soon take place in the city hall. Li Cheng looked at Karenina and Mu again: "Follow them." "Boss Li Cheng, you won't be in danger, right?" "Yes, Brother Li Cheng, it looks very dark inside this door, I hope nothing will happen to you." Something will happen. I'm afraid you two will take advantage of me... Li Cheng smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I can handle it. Hurry up and follow them. Remember to find a few ministers to change their ID cards. They are all S-level." "Okay, Boss, thanks a lot!" "Well, thank you Brother Li Cheng~" The two looked at Li Cheng with gratitude and left the dungeon. One minute, two minutes, three minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes... After waiting for thirty minutes, no one came back. Li Cheng finally couldn't hold back the smile on his face. After some operations, the altar of the Witch of Regeneration finally belonged to him alone! It goes without saying that this is the most important gain in this secret realm! "Wow, Li Cheng, what are we going to get this time!" Lilith couldn't help rubbing her hands together. "Go in and take a look, and you'll know." Li Cheng walked into the darkness inside the bronze door. As he entered, the brazier automatically ignited. A huge ritual array engraved with various languages appeared inside the room. In the middle of the ritual formation, there was a stone chair. Countless blood vessel-like tubes, flashing with pink light, connected the stone chair. At first glance, it is the core of the ritual formation. Li Cheng looked at the words on the ritual array and muttered to himself: "Refinement, sacrifice, blood, death... Is this a ritual array for sacrifice?" He walked to the stone chair and found a dagger and a booklet placed on it. [Yuan Dao (only one): [The only artifact belonging to the Abyss Eye Witch. Only when the Abyss Eye Witch or someone with the Witch's scent holds it can its power be exerted.] [Please note that there are two of these swords in total. Only the two and the one are the real Yuan Swords. ] [Ability: Abyss Seal: [The Abyss Blade is the key to open the door to the Abyss, and it is also the seal that completely closes the entrance to the Abyss. By paying magic power to it, you can seal anything you want. ] [But please note that the more powerful the life, the more precious the relic, and the more magic power is required. ] 【ability·???】 【You are not qualified to view this ability. 】
【ability·???】 【You are not qualified to view this ability. 】 Holding this weapon that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Li Cheng's heart trembled. He never expected that this Yuan Blade would appear here. You should know that in the PC version of the game, the Yuandao is an artifact that only exists in the background story and cannot be obtained by players. Even the information about it was pieced together by "fatalists" through fragmented narratives. The first plot of Full Moon Academy - Night of the Abyss Blade, actually revolves around the Abyss Blade, the Abyss Eye Witch, and the Full Moon Queen. The artifact that shouldn't have existed in the copy appeared before his eyes, and was transformed from an item killed by the plot into a relic that players can use. "Since I cleared the prison of the Abyss Eye Witch, am I carrying her scent?" Li Cheng held the dagger and figured out why he was able to use it. But why is Yuan Dao in the altar of the Witch of Regeneration? Li Cheng really couldn't think of the answer for a moment. "However, this unexpected operation..." Li Cheng exclaimed: "Is this the new plot you mentioned? Quantum technology, interesting, really interesting!" "Haha, really." Lilith's mouth twitched. After gaining such a benefit, Li Cheng became more interested in another booklet. what is this? Is it a diary that tells the origin of the Abyss Blade, or a storybook that records the love, hatred and vengeance between the Abyss Eye Witch and the Regeneration Witch? Li Cheng calmed down his excitement and opened the booklet. Then, his pupils suddenly shrank. "This is……" He kept turning the pages of the book. There was not much content in the booklet, and Li Cheng had an outstanding eyesight, so he read it very quickly. It didn't take him long to turn to the last page. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing an excited smile. "So that's how it is. No wonder the Witch of Regeneration can live from one era to the next, and no wonder Christine, who possesses her power, can heal herself." "No wonder she wants to provoke a fight between the half-demons and the demons. So that's it. So that's it." "Li Cheng, can you please stop being a riddler?" Lilith's mouth twitched: "It's just the two of us now, there's no need, it's really not necessary." "See for yourself." Li Cheng handed the booklet to Lilith and paced back and forth on the ritual array. What was recorded in that booklet was none other than this ritual formation. Although the Witch of Regeneration came up with a good name for this magic circle, Li Cheng still thought that it was more appropriate to describe it as "National Refining Array".
In layman's terms, the function of this ritual array is to absorb the souls of the dead and refine them into the "Philosopher's Stone" of immortality. The souls of all the lives that died above this ritual formation will be bound here, unable to return to the abyss or go to the underworld. Once the ritual is initiated, they will turn into nutrients and be refined into the "Philosopher's Stone". And the refined "Philosopher's Stone" is nothing else but the person standing around the stone chair at the center of the ritual formation. These people will gain the power of immortality and everlasting life. Obviously, this is the truth behind why the Witch of Regeneration can survive until the next era. She is using this "Land Refining Array" to achieve immortality, or her wish of "eternal rebirth". The scope of this ritual array covers the entire territory of the City of Fraud. The passages dug by the City Hall are also part of the national land refining array. All those who died above the City of Fraud are destined to become the nourishment of eternal life. But it was obvious that the Witch of Rebirth had no intention of sharing this wish with her followers. She had specially arranged for two followers from different forces, the demons in the city hall, to be responsible for building the altar and the tunnel used for the ritual array, but they did not have the key to the altar and did not know what on earth they were building. The half-demon Anka in the slums is responsible for inciting the confrontation between half-demons and demons, creating a large number of deaths in the ritual array to accumulate nutrients for the ritual. She has the key and the emblem, but she doesn't know where the altar is, nor does she know which door the key is used to open. Her extremely devout followers probably have no idea that they are just tools that can be discarded after use. With such calculations, this reborn witch can be said to have reached the pinnacle of primordial nature. "But..." Li Cheng smiled: "This new student doesn't seem to know that his hometown has been stolen by me." "Well, in that case, I'll do it with reluctance..." "I will help you refine this land into a formation, so you can enjoy it." "If you, the Reborn Witch, can do it, I, Li Cheng, can do it too." (End of this chapter)
