Abnormal paradise - #449 - Chapter 444 Changes and subsequent trends
The fishman plane is similar to the Garden of Eden, with multiple distinct areas planned according to functional categories, so Ember must leave the factory area if he wants to find the factory owner.
The good news is that, for ease of management, the factory owners live near the factories in residential areas set aside for industrial leaders.
But the bad news is that the place where Ember escaped is located between the factory area and the residential area. Based on this, the major forces have drawn a key search circle, including the factory area, residential area and the surrounding large areas of land.
In other words, no matter how the embers came, they have to go back the same way. Even if they rely on the Infinite Walker, the risk can be imagined to be high.
“I didn’t expect that I couldn’t experience the thrilling lurking in the Garden of Eden, but I experienced it in the Murloc King’s Court when facing our camp. Tsk, this is such a big deal.”
Ember shook his head, not daring to take it lightly. He mixed in with the restless fish and headed steadily towards his destination.
At this time, the conflicts caused by the wanton investigation affecting production, fueled by troublemakers and frequent outbreaks of small-scale physical friction, had brewed to a certain extent. As Ember walked on the road, he not only saw many murlocs, but also gradually changed from a , gathered into a team, and then crowded into a group, surrounding all intersections with checkpoints. What’s more, they even actively invited Ember to join the protest army, and the target of the protest gradually deviated from resuming production to other aspects. .
“Where there is oppression, there is resistance!”
“Dear fishmen workers, what are you waiting for?”
“Rights never fall from the sky, but are earned by ourselves!”
“Today! Just today! We must make our voices heard and let the evil and unscrupulous capitalists hear our full anger!”
Youdao is a spark that can start a prairie fire. Perhaps it is because the arrival of Ember, the [Messenger of Disaster], has completely ignited the dissatisfaction of the bottom murlocs. Or perhaps it is because the resistance has been prepared for a long time, and it just happens to happen. If the translation device was not smart enough to optimize words and sentences, seeing the embers of worker leaders raising their arms and shouting, I would be more inclined to the latter.
In a word, the factory area when he returned was even more chaotic than when he came. All forces were affected, and the intensity of interrogation was reduced a lot. On the other hand, no one paid more attention to the ember that had turned into a fishman, so he was on his way. Feeling: “Although the situation seems to be getting weirder and weirder, to me it is a good thing after all. No matter what, let’s find the factory owner who is hiding first.”
Ember’s doubts are also a problem for many players. They who are on the front line of the conflict can feel it more clearly. Because of Ember’s disappearance, the focus of the encirclement and suppression incident has shifted to other directions. Many people have even received stable calls. Situation side quests.
“That’s not right. Aren’t we here to catch the embers? How come we are so good and come here to enforce the law?”
“You ask me who should I ask? Be careful and don’t get into any fatal accidents, otherwise you won’t be able to hand in the mission. But then again, why is the reward for a side mission so generous, and why is it issued by the Murloc King’s Court? But why can’t I see it? Agent Shaoyu, you didn’t put your mind on maintaining stability at all?”
“Well, you can pay attention, maybe you can find follow-up tasks. Hehe, I suddenly feel that side tasks are more cost-effective than catching the number one player.”
“Who says it isn’t?”
Players who naturally seek profit, attracted by generous rewards, no longer deliberately search for embers. Those with a keen sense of smell quickly grasp the context, and through the investigation of the fishman agents and undercover informants, they trigger subsequent tasks and point the finger directly. An alliance of interests composed of unscrupulous capitalists, corrupt officials and spokespersons of the Chaos Beacon. Although the difficulty of the task is not clearly marked, the shockingly generous rewards are enough to explain the problem.
At the same time, the top leaders of the major forces also received a letter from the Gray Lady, stating that a storm would sweep through the Murloc Court. It was suggested that all parties should not forget to attack the two clowns led by the two clowns while searching for the embers. The Apostle of Chaos.
At this point, although the first phase of the special event [The King’s Court] has not yet been declared over, the second phase [Black Tide] has officially begun in a substantial sense. Ember, as the messenger of disaster, does not know that he has brought In fact, what the fish-men clan faces is not just disaster, but also a new era of change.
The gray lady who sent the letter nodded to Little Bob who was sitting in the nightmare pumpkin car. The dark-faced latter couldn’t help but sigh sadly: “Is the problem of the Fishman Court really serious enough to require violent solution? Accept it. The foundation that the fishmen have taken refuge in has no way to solve the problem peacefully.”
“Isn’t this obvious? The one of ours received a request for help from the previous generation of Paladins in the early years, but it was only now that he had the chance to take action. Do you think it’s serious?”
The big bad wolf, who was sitting with his legs crossed, habitually showed off his new teeth: “Through the years of operation of Chaos Lighthouse, a quite large power group has been built up. Even if it is as powerful as the Murloc King, it will not be able to save it. Even if it gets funds, Without the support of the Association, there is no time to solve the problem. Moreover, the Murloc King still has its own scruples and is still unwilling to fully cooperate. Therefore, the Foundation proposed to take advantage of the opportunity of the Chaos Apostle to show up to violently uproot the intricate capital forces. “
“Oh, I just hope the blood can flow less.”
Little Bob couldn’t bear it. Under the guidance of the little girl, he could increasingly appreciate the value of tolerance for all things from the flames, and his character was also subtly affected. He looked at it silently and wearing a gray gauze. The gray lady whispered: “Madam, time is running out, we should hurry up and find the relics of the faith of the previous saints, otherwise Lord Ember and Lord Djinn will approach the sonic array, but we will not be properly prepared. , that would be bad.”
The gray lady nodded silently, and the nightmare pumpkin cart immediately rang a clear bell. The nightmare pulling the cart received the order and immediately took off into the air with a long hiss.
…
Move the perspective back to Ember.
Since the major forces, the murloc detectives, and the traitorous informants never considered the possibility of Ember turning into a murloc, he was still able to get into the relatively safe place despite some delays on the road. In a peaceful residential area.
However, Yi Yan knew that before he transformed into a flying bird and accelerated on his way, a large number of murlocs had already gathered and marched towards this place. It would not be long before a conflict broke out with the rich guards who had received the news and deployed their defenses early.
“The greedy scum suddenly forgot their identities, so your task is to beat them awake!”
An old fishman dressed as a butler danced and shouted at the guards: “The kind and generous Master Bai said that as long as you stop those hateful scum, you will be rewarded with a lot of wealth!”
“Master Shiren also promised this!”
Another butler shouted, and beside the two of them, there were many fishlegs standing in agreement.
A moment ago, they jointly called on the fish people in production and life to beat the workers, but at this moment they “turned against each other”, which attracted the great attention of the fish people capitalists. Realizing the seriousness, Mr. Bai and Shiren immediately set an example, and several other companies They also plan to use the reward money to tide over the difficulties together.
As soon as these words came out, the members of the guard became very enthusiastic and shouted that they would absolutely guard the entrance and not let any outsider pass by. However, they did not know that the embers were already flapping their wings and flying through the sky, and were about to reach Mr. Bai, the owner of the dyeing factory. Home.
At this time, the same motivational lecture was also being given in Mr. Bai’s luxurious manor, but the target was changed from the weaker fish-man guards to the professional bodyguards who started at the fourth level, and the lecturer also became Bai Yi. The master himself.
This gold-clad fat-headed fish who had been fortunate enough to participate in the legendary ceremony of the fish-man paladin knew that this turmoil was dangerous. If he did not do it right, his family might be destroyed. However, he also had his own reliance. The profiteering factory provided him with a large amount of funds. , used to hire powerful bodyguards, and secretly colluded with Chaos Beacon, which also gave him the opportunity to enjoy the personal protection of the legendary powerhouse.
“Everyone should know that I have never been a stingy person. When it is time to take money, I will never be ambiguous!”
The fat-headed fish with shrewd eyes looked at his eight bodyguards with a smile. When he spoke, his eyes fell on the two figures standing in the middle intentionally or unintentionally. These two people were recruited through the relationship between Chaos Beacon. A powerful helper who has always been deeply trusted and relied upon by Master Bai.
“Don’t worry, sir, we, the Black Wind Shuangsha, will definitely protect your safety!”
One of the legendary murlocs who claimed to be Black Wind Shuangsha, patted his chest and promised, which made the extremely satisfied fat-headed fish in gold couldn’t help nodding his head: “That’s good, that’s good! Then I’ll go to the basement to hide for a while, the manor My safety depends on the two of you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Bayi led six fourth-level bodyguards into the basement that was comparable to a fortress, while the Black Wind Shuangsha were waiting near the entrance of the basement like two door gods.
These two black-scaled, black-skinned, black-handed and black-legged murloc legends are indeed quite dedicated. Even the murloc protesters rushed to the residential area and began to set up strict defenses. Of course, this has something to do with Ember. Due to the relationship, the Black Wind Shuangsha was the spy of the Chaos Apostle and received the order to search for the ember, so before Master Bai Yi gave the order, he began to prepare for it.
But similarly, the Black Wind Twins, who individually reached the mid-level legendary level and whose combined combat power rivaled that of high-level legends, still failed to notice the embers falling on the branches. They were quietly observing them, and after some thought, gave up. He planned to kill the two men and decided to face Master Bai directly.
“It’s not a good time to break out into a fight. It’s better to keep a low profile. If things can be solved with credits, there is no need to solve them with fists and kicks.”
Adhering to the principle of entering the village quietly, Ember flew into the shadow of the manor, found the right spot, and used a seamless magic carpet to sneak directly into Master Bai’s hiding place.
Although you need to pay 10,000 credits to infiltrate, Ember will feel that it is well worth the money every time you use it, and this time is no exception. Just like there is only one entrance to the basement of the fortress, even if you call Miaomiao, it will take less than five minutes. It couldn’t be dug, unlike now. Not only did the Black Wind Shuangsha not realize it, but Master Bai and the six fourth-level bodyguards didn’t know that someone had already sneaked into the huge basement without anyone noticing.
“Good guy, building such a fortress-like basement with an area of 1,000 square meters ten meters underground is really luxurious! Compared with the murloc workers who have trouble eating, it is like a sky and a place. No wonder that every opportunity comes United.”
Standing in a storage room, Yi Yan cursed. Hearing Master Bai’s loud remarks from outside the door, he quietly walked out.
Mr. Bayi walked into the basement, holding a glass of red wine. He felt that he was no longer a threat, so he took advantage of the wine to express his grievances: “These scum have just been able to eat, and they want to destroy their jobs. They don’t know how to be grateful.” Things! They can’t understand at all how much effort my ancestors put into developing their careers, but what about them? They plan to take advantage of it, they are simply greedy!”
Snapped!
The fat-headed fish in golden clothes smashed the exquisite wine glass to pieces angrily, and then picked up a new one without caring.
“But at the end of the day, the problem still lies with the Royal Court. Instead of using the law to create more wealth, it forcibly restricts the generation of wealth! What era are we in now? They still plan to use the same old methods to solve the problem! Ignorance! Ignorance! If only the old king were still around, he would definitely agree to the Industrial Federation’s suggestion to build more factories and recruit more workers. He is definitely not like the current one, who thinks that with some strength, he can stop the general trend!”
Having said this, the fat-headed fish in golden clothes laughed relentlessly: “Humph, you don’t know how happy the fishman king was after the legendary ceremony was successfully held. He actually announced in public that the issue of the evil god’s arrival will soon become a thing of the past! Haha, Everyone has seen what the reality is like. Is a legendary paladin enough? That’s bullshit! Bah!”
In his own private space, Mr. Bayi became more and more outspoken, using the six close bodyguards as confidants to vent all kinds of dissatisfaction wantonly. And these six strong fishmen were not kind people at all. Jin Every time the pretender said something, they complimented him, which made him become more interested and talk more energetically, as if he had forgotten that he was taking refuge.
Until a certain moment, there was no response in the huge basement of the fortress, and only Master Bai’s voice was left. As he was getting drunk, he thought to himself that these guys didn’t want money anymore, so he glanced at everyone with angry eyes, and then unexpectedly I saw the bodyguards turned into flying ash inexplicably and rapidly disintegrating from the top of their heads.
What?
Mr. Bayi thought he had made a mistake and quickly rubbed his drunken eyes. When he looked up again, there were no shadows of bodyguards around him. There was no trace of the scattered fly ash that I just saw on the ground.
“This…is this haunted?”
In this frightening moment, the fat-headed fish in gold clothes was mostly sober. Just when he was about to inform the Black and Wind Demons, he found himself following him to a strange world, where he saw a bloody ghost, drawing patterns with a paintbrush.
“Ghost!”
At this time, Mr. Bayi believed that he had really encountered a ghost, so when he saw a big living person coming, he felt like he had seen a savior. No matter how much Ember asked, he had no intention of hiding it. He just asked him to hurry up and save him. Give away this weird space yourself and promise to pay any price!
Ember easily understood the follow-up direction, and naturally had no intention of letting it go. He left the crying fat-headed fish in the ecological field, and once again used the seamless magic carpet to leave the fortress basement.
At this time, the black and wind demons had already noticed something strange due to the excessive silence in the basement, but before they opened the door, the embers turned into birds and left quietly.
“Although the Nirvana Plague experiment was quite successful, the effect is really the same as Nirvana Slash. It kills people without leaving traces, not even trophies. It is two extremes from the Devouring Skill! But fortunately, the whereabouts of the Faith Light Stone are I found out that the first-generation Master Bai actually sold it to a fishman collector! Although I don’t know if the other party is still alive or if he still has the Faith Light Stone, but since the quest chain has been generated, I might as well go there… …”
