Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 691 Postwar Analysis
Senon LeBlanc is the Grand Warlock closest to the crown in the Tower of Order, and the only one among all the Grand Warlocks to have reached the realm of Grandmaster of Dual Magic.

When fighting against the six Grand Warlocks, Sinlailai thought that the opponent, as the right-hand man of the Black Grand Warlock, would follow the six Grand Warlocks to join the battle, but the opponent did not arrive until all the Grand Warlocks were killed. Combining the intelligence they had and Senon Leblanc's own situation, there was only one possibility for the opponent to do so:
1. Senon LeBlanc is an old villain. He has known for a long time that the six great warlocks are no match for them, and he plans to reap the benefits.

2. Someone told Senon LeBlanc not to get involved in the battle, and the other party had already anticipated the defeat of the tower.

The former sounds very likely, but it doesn't explain why the other party dared to come to him so brazenly. Combined with the performance of the six great crown warlocks during the battle and the faction that Senon Leblanc belongs to, and the fact that it was actually the Black Crown who suggested that the White Crown send Tafina to receive them, the answer is actually very obvious -

"Did the Black Crown ask you to come here?"

Xin Lailai looked down at the hunchbacked old man in black robe in front of him and spoke indifferently. When the old man in black robe heard the words, the expression on his wrinkled face could not help but froze, and there was a look of astonishment in his eyes, as if he was surprised that Xin Lailai directly told him the reason for his appearance here, but then he nodded and said respectfully in a hoarse and old voice:
"Lord Black Sword is indeed as good as a god. I came here to fulfill the will that Lord Black Crown gave me."

Senon Leblanc said this and tapped the cane in his hand. The next second, cold figures shrouded in black robes emerged from the shadow of the ruins behind him. They stood respectfully on both sides like emotionless machines. Then, the old man in the black robe took out a black crystal that looked like a fortress key from his arms, put down his cane, raised the black crystal in front of him with both hands, and spoke in an old and hoarse voice:

"Lord Black Crown has issued an order before his death that we Black Guards cannot participate in the Crown War. If all six crowns fall to Lord Black Sword, we will bring the Black Guard Key and the 397 Black Guards to Lord Black Sword and pledge our loyalty to him, allowing him to dispatch us at his will!"

"In the Black Guard Key, there are 398 Black Guard Soul Contracts engraved with soul secrets. These soul contracts can control our life and death. If Lord Black Sword has any doubts, he can destroy an indefinite number of soul contracts by himself and use our lives to verify it."

An old but powerful voice sounded from midair. Xin Lailai looked at the black-robed old man in front of him and the 397 black-robed figures behind him. He narrowed his eyes slightly, unfolded the Star Luo Domain, and took in the internal structure of the Black Guard Key in the black-robed old man's hand in his mind. After a careful inspection, he stretched out his hand and said:

"Did the Black Crown tell you anything else?"

"This……"

Hearing this, the old man in black robe showed a hint of hesitation on his face, but in the end he bowed his head respectfully and spoke in a hoarse voice:

"The Black Crown Master also told me that if possible, I would like to build a cenotaph for her and the other Crown Masters, and have her grave be built next to the White Crown Master."

"Gone?"

“Never again.”

"Then go ahead. Except for the black and white ones, the bodies of the others are still inside."

In mid-air, Xin Lailai spoke in a very calm tone, looking up at the Kota Fortress behind him, which had collapsed for the most part. After answering, he thought for a while, as if he had thought of something, looked at the black-robed old man in front of him, and said:

"When you're done, come find me. I need your cooperation with something."

After the words fell, the black-robed old man in front of him was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Xin Lailai to agree so easily, but he quickly reacted, bowed his head respectfully to the other party, and said respectfully in his old and hoarse voice:
"I will let Lord Black Sword send you."

After saying that, the old man in black robe turned around, his figure sank, and together with the black guards behind him, they turned into thick darkness, seeping into the ruins of the fortress in front of them like flowing water.

Xin Lailai, who was in mid-air, looked at this scene without saying much. He just looked down at the Black Guard Key in his hand for a while, then threw it into the storage space. He sat cross-legged in mid-air, and gathered all the free soul energy that was diffused above the fortress due to death towards his direction.

There is actually not much to say about what the old man in black robe said.

Xin Lailai had no doubt that the Black Crown had no hostility towards them. In other words, although the black-robed woman who had been hiding in the shadows was the one who caused them the greatest harm in the battle with the six crown warlocks, there was no murderous intent in her every move. Instead, there was a kind of calmness and indifference that showed that she would not care too much no matter what happened.

As for why the other party guessed that the Crown Warlock would be defeated in their hands and made corresponding preparations, but still silently besieged them with the other five Crown Warlocks, and finally even resorted to sacrificial dark element spells that required sacrificing lives, this is a story between the other party and the White Crown, and has nothing to do with these two outsiders.

By the way, although they were in a crushing posture throughout the battle with the six crown warlocks, in fact, the strength of the six crown warlocks has nothing to do with the word weak.

Just look at the areas that the six crown warlocks are good at: space, darkness, soul, illusion, barrier, melee combat. It can be said that except for the lack of time and tank, this combination covers almost all the aspects that can be included in the battle, which can be called a true hexagonal lineup.

It can be said that even though the six crown warlocks can only barely make it to the third-tier super-top echelon or the upper-middle level of the super-top echelon when taken individually, the combat power of their combined forces is definitely at the threshold of the outer-level echelon... It can even cause some strong men who have just entered the outer-level echelon to overturn. The reason why they perform so badly in front of them is simply because their luck is too bad... They just happen to be facing them who have no weaknesses, and the gap in basic numerical values ​​between the two sides is too huge.

In fact, in terms of magic level alone, the gap between the six crown warlocks and them is not that big. After all, even the Red Crown, who has the weakest magic among the six, is a Fire Magic Grandmaster LV.10 + Fighting Master LV.MAX, and the strongest White Crown and Black Crown are real double magic grandmasters LV.20. Although they cannot be compared with them who are the five grandmasters LV.20, they are not crushed to the point of being crushed.

What really caused the insurmountable gap between the two sides was actually the gap in equipment, vision and experience. Even though they were both masters of magic, the other side had no other enhancement items except a bunch of pyroxene equipment that would become ineffective once the core structure was damaged. On the other hand, they had a full set of +13 legendary equipment, and all of them had the effect of Paradise Notarization. They could easily achieve the effect of only a strip of cloth left, but as long as the durability was not reduced, the enhancement would continue to exist.

It can be said that the difference in equipment alone is enough to create an extremely huge numerical and mechanical gap between them and these magic masters who were born and raised in the Dark Glow World, not to mention the natural disadvantages of local magic against the magic system of Paradise and the gap in combat experience. The medical level of the Dark Glow Continent is here. In other words, for a crown warlock, even the most warlike Red Crown, the number of near-death battles that he can experience in his life is absolutely rare, and most of these battles are probably before he becomes a crown warlock. In addition, the enemies that can be seen in the Dark Glow Continent are nothing more than the old three types of behemoths, warlocks, and warriors. The final result is that the local strongmen of the Dark Glow Continent cannot compare with these Paradise-level echelons who have crawled all the way through life and death in terms of combat experience.

Their equipment was crushed, their experience was overwhelming, and even their passive spells had the defect of being strong enough but having backward cognition. Under such circumstances, it would be really strange if the six crown warlocks could still pose any threat to them.

This includes the Dark Sacrifice that the Black Crown used at the cost of his life. On the surface, that move seemed to pose a great threat to them, causing up to 44.9% of their maximum health in damage, and that was despite their damage reduction and super high physical defense. But in fact, the opponent was able to inflict this damage entirely because Xin Lailai deliberately let the opponent hit him.

As for the reason why Xin Lailai did this? It was certainly not because they had some masochistic fetish or deliberately risked their lives, but because he wanted to take this opportunity to brush up the titles related to Dark Corrosion Immunity. The reason for brushing this kind of title was that the titles with Dark Corrosion Immunity were the closest to Abyssal Corrosion Immunity among all the titles with Corrosion Immunity that could be obtained through conventional means.

As early as after coming into contact with information about the abyss, Xin Lailai had actually always wanted to get a title that could enhance their resistance to the erosion of the abyss, but such titles were too rare, so rare that even the title section of the Pioneer Exploration Store did not contain such titles.

This forced Xin Lailai to find another way and look for other ways to obtain titles with the Abyss Corrosion Immunity feature. Using the Dark Corrosion Immunity titles to upgrade their stars and guiding them in the direction of the Abyss Corrosion Immunity feature through specific props was the most feasible of the various "unconventional methods" that Xin Lailai had found that could be used at their level.

Just like "Darkness Studies" can be advanced to "Abyss Studies" after being raised to its limit, among all kinds of erosion effects, darkness erosion is definitely the one closest to abyss erosion. As for the erosion of the netherworld's death energy, if it still contains the word "death energy", it can only be regarded as an erosion of the power of death at best. Although it is very close to the abyss erosion, it has not reached the level of almost zero distance of darkness erosion. If the word "death energy" is removed, it is not close, but a type of abyss erosion. After all, the root of the netherworld comes from the abyss, and it can even be said to be a certain manifestation of the power of the abyss from the astral realm.

Therefore, if you want to get the Abyss Corrosion Immunity title by taking shortcuts, the best way is to find a few high-potential titles with Dark Corrosion Immunity characteristics, use them as a medium to operate, and rely on title smelting and certain specific props to guide them into Abyss Corrosion Immunity titles.

But this leads to a question, which is how to obtain the title of immunity from dark erosion?
Even in the title shop, the only titles that can be sold now are those with erosion immunity due to abnormal attributes. If one wants to obtain titles that can exempt one from erosion effects directly caused by the elements themselves, such as dark erosion and burning erosion, the only way, given their current level of exploration shop, is to rely on their high charm attributes, deliberately experience dark erosion several times in the world, and use the title settlement mechanism of the paradise to obtain them.

This leads to a new question, which is where can they find someone who can cause the dark erosion?
You have to know that dark erosion is pure elemental damage, and the previous system that can directly cause elemental damage has now even had its nest divided up. In this era, there are only two systems that can afford elemental damage and are well-known to everyone, namely the Elemental Scholar and the Agent. The latter is still mainly based on the boundary thunder route, which has nothing to do with the dark erosion caused by dark elements. As for the former, it is so rare that even if it shows up, it will be surrounded by people like a rare animal. It is not something they can find now.

In other words, it is definitely unrealistic to find someone to "play for you" to increase the number of dark erosions. The only thing left is to use the environment itself. If you can enter an environment where the dark element is so dense that you can be corroded by taking two breaths, then the number of dark erosions will definitely increase dramatically. The only problem is where to find such an environment.

This is why Xin Lailai chose to resist without hesitation after seeing the Dark Sacrifice used by the Black Crown. Before he could figure out where to find a place to brush the Dark Corrosion, a guy who was willing to sacrifice his life to "assist" him in testing the effect of the Dark Corrosion in advance came, so he naturally had to seize this opportunity.

"Tsk, if I had known earlier I would have spared that arcane mage's life..."

In mid-air, Xin Lailai glanced at the line of dark erosion prompt in the prompt message, which looked lonely no matter how she looked at it, and thought with some regret.

If the arcane mage were still alive, he wouldn't have to worry so much about where to find guys who dare to deal elemental damage recklessly. It can only be said that they were too young at the time and did not consider the fact that the title store might not be able to get titles that are immune to Abyss Corrosion in the early stage.

As for why not just use Abyssal Corrosion to earn Abyssal Immunity titles? Well, that's a good idea, but I suggest you don't think about it next time.

You have to know that even if you add up all the worlds they have been through, they have only suffered from the erosion and eruption of the abyss twice, once in the Black Four World and once in the Dead Sea ruins. The result of these two times was that they lost their lives without any suspense. If it weren't for Yamu's rescue and resurrection props, they would have died.

In this situation, how can you refresh the burst of Abyss Corrosion? If you think your life is too long, you can give it a try. He has seen people desperately use their life-saving abilities because they are afraid of death, but he has never seen anyone who voluntarily wants to die because he is afraid of death.

"Master Black Sword, I'm already well."

Suddenly, an old and hoarse voice came from below, and the old man in black robe appeared at the same place again, respectfully lowering his head in the direction of Xin Lailai. Behind him was a dark guard who was waiting there quietly.

"Well, come here, he will tell you what to do next."

Upon hearing the voice, Xin Lailai opened his eyes calmly, put the two almost full soul storage crystals (complete) in his hand back into the storage space, looked at the 'performer' who had been standing there at some point, and spoke to the old man in black robe, with a deep look in his eyes.

The surrender of the old man in black robe was a pleasant surprise. Originally, he planned to let Xiaobai forge a virtual image of the Grand Warlock, and nominally perform a play in the tone of the Grand Warlock. Although that would not fool the great warlocks and sorcerers who could easily guess the truth, it could at least temporarily fool the ordinary residents under the High Tower.

But now, with the assistance of the old man in black robe, they don't have to worry about so many things. With the first great warlock who took the lead in commending... especially when the other party is the right-hand man of the Black Crown, many things will become like a dam with a gap opened, allowing the flood called "surrender" to surge completely in the direction he wants.

"Let's go, Mr. Senon~!"

A demonic and frivolous voice sounded from the ruins. The performer who appeared out of nowhere adjusted his top hat, looked down at the scene in the distance, and said with a smile:

"It's time to give those of you living in the tower a new sky~!"
