Chapter 142 Commission Begins

Wu Chang looked at the bloody will that was red to black in front of him, and combined with the scene he had just seen in resentment, he was sure that it was not a mere coincidence that the Miracle Stone fulfilled his wish and sent him to the Midnight Cemetery copy.

While the Miracle Stone fulfilled his wish, it also fulfilled the Moon's wish in the Midnight Cemetery dungeon.

To end everything in Midnight Ranch, you must get through everything and defeat all opponents that stand in your way.

Will it win?
Will win!
Considering such deep resentment, there is no way he won't win.

Recalling the scenes seen in Resentment, the culprit of everything, the biggest bad guy in the copy plane, is undoubtedly Mikel I.

He is cruel, ruthless, and has careful plans. He has eight hundred tricks up his sleeve.

He was looking down on everything that happened in the Mikel Kingdom from the perspective of the Miracle Moon. Simply put, he was in the God's perspective.

As a casual player, he can easily see through many things that Yueliang cannot understand.

For example, after merging with the Great Sage and acquiring the human way of thinking, Miracle Moon believed that Mikel I launched the plague in order to maintain his rule.

However, in Wu Chang's opinion, things are not that simple.

Judging from the fact that Mikel I made a wish to the Golden Throne and the resonance between the small miracles in the Golden Throne and the Moon of Miracles, he had already discovered the secret of the Golden Throne and knew that the Golden Throne could fulfill his wish.

He only needs to perform a wish-fulfilling performance in front of everyone on a regular basis, just like the Soul Light Sect, and he will always be the chosen one in people's hearts, and his status will never be shaken.

It is obvious that Mikel I is deliberately creating the illusion that miracles are rare and that he is abandoned by the gods, in order to lure out those ambitious nobles, and then take advantage of the plague to get rid of these nobles together and reap their wealth.

At the same time, the rarity of miracles can inspire various religious sects to pursue miracles and regard triggering miracles as a lifelong goal.

Faced with an incurable plague, the Medicine Cult's move to enter the City of Pain was a manifestation of their pursuit of miracles and the willingness to give up their own lives.

Mikel I knew more about the Month of Miracles than anyone else, starting with launching a plague and eliminating ambitious nobles, which gave birth to the first miracle.

To actively expose the Golden Throne, draw in all the scholars and nobles of the kingdom, and jointly arrange for the eternal life of the Blood Moon.

Then there was the Blood Moon's eternal life, and he was the only one who succeeded in obtaining half of the eternal life. Even if the nobles like Patos could stay awake, they could only obtain less than half of his eternal life.

All the people involved in the entire Blood Moon Eternal Life are chess pieces on his chessboard, and he has them all figured out for sure.

The only thing he overlooked was that when he wiped out the consciousness of the great sage in the first miracle, he also "killed" the Miracle Moon.

If Miracle Moon was still alive, it could still understand the wishes of Mikel I and others, but its consciousness had been erased. Before being erased, under the influence of the Great Sage, it was full of disgust for Mikel I and other wishers who longed for eternal life.

The miracle moon that caused the complete disappearance of consciousness made the blood moon's immortality complete in a strange way.

If we want to end everything once and for all, we must first get rid of Mikel I.

Wu Chang shifted his gaze away from the Tree of Miracles and began to look at other areas in the secret room.

The existence in the secret room that attracts the poison of mortals is not the miracle tree in front of it that is full of resentment, but the thing buried under the miracle tree.

He pushed aside the flesh-and-blood tangled roots of the miracle tree and saw a fist-sized sphere underneath, which looked like a black hole wrapped inside.

Erosion core.

It can also be considered an old friend.

The erosion core in front of him was far larger than the erosion core condensed in the Moonlight Shelter, which was also a B-level copy. Its size was different from normal ones, and it was exactly what attracted the poison of mortals.

If you look closely, you can find that the roots of the Miracle Tree that are in contact with the erosion core are constantly wriggling like they are sucking. Every time the Miracle Tree absorbs energy from the erosion core, it can make the Miracle Tree grow.

Wu Chang seemed to understand that the miracle tree in front of him was not the Tranquility Sect moving the Miracle Moon down from the sky, but rather using the method of eroding the core to ripen some fragments of the Miracle Moon, ripening it into its current appearance.

The Corrosion Core can provide energy for the Mortal Poison to reversely absorb Leman's divine power. It can also provide energy for the Miracle Walker race, accelerating their growth and achieving the effect of ripening.

This reminded him of the item description that popped up when he touched the erosion core. It only had four simple words: source of power.

After experiencing the erosion copy, Wu Chang had a certain degree of understanding of the erosion copy.

There is a lot of information about the erosion copy that can be publicly viewed in the Administration, but there is very little information about the erosion core.

This is definitely not because the Administration is unaware of the existence of the Erosion Core, nor is it because they do not have enough intelligence. The most likely scenario is that the information about the Erosion Core requires too high a level of authority.

With his current level of authority, he is unable to access it.

He had previously speculated that the erosion core should be an important resource, but it would only be effective in the second or third level of the abyss.

The scene before him of the Tranquility Sect using the erosion core to ripen the Miracle Tree completely confirmed his speculation.

Known as the source of power, the energy in the erosion core can indeed be absorbed, but his current level is too low and the energy level is not enough, so he cannot use it.

Facing the erosion core under the Miracle Tree, Wu Chang hesitated. If it was a erosion core condensed after a normal copy was broken, he would definitely not hesitate and choose to let the mortal poison swallow it.

But this moment was different, he could feel that the erosion core in front of him belonged to the Midnight Cemetery copy.

He couldn't be sure what impact it would have on the copy if he destroyed the erosion core of the copy before it broke through.

Should the contamination value of the copy simply be reset to zero, or should it be considered as direct destruction of the copy and be settled directly?

If it were a normal copy, he might choose to take a gamble, but this copy is not a good option.

Whether it was his wish to eliminate his current hidden danger by completing the copy, or the resentment of the Miracle Moon that had turned red to black, they were things he was determined to obtain, and there could be no mistakes.

Even if the erosion core is absorbed and the copy does not collapse, it is too drastic and may drive the Tranquility Sect crazy and directly destroy the Midnight Cemetery copy.

After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to leave the secret room.

He will temporarily store the Corrosion Core here in the Tranquility Sect, and come back to get it after he completes the copy and breaks through.

After exiting the secret room, he did not continue to explore the Soul Light Cathedral, nor did he dispel the power in the Soul Light Cathedral as originally planned.

The harvest tonight is enough, and it is enough stimulation for the palm fire. The leeks must be harvested one by one, and there is no need to rush.

The Fire Master blocked the Soul Light Cathedral for a whole day, claiming that the Cathedral had caught fire and needed urgent repairs.

Within a day, all the guards conducted a carpet search, checking every corner of the cathedral inch by inch.

Every time a mosquito flies out, we have to stop it and identify whether it is male or female before releasing it.

Outsiders like Han Er were questioned in detail even though they were operating under the watchful eyes of the recyclers. Even Zhang Huo came to check in person.

Of course, nothing was found.

The blockade lasted until the next night, and finally it could no longer be continued because the night of the blood moon was approaching. As an important participant in the night of the blood moon, Han Er, who had been cleared of suspicion, was released from the Soul Light Cathedral and took the carriage of the collectors, returning to the gravekeeper's hut in the evening.

Waving goodbye to the recycler, Han Er turned to look at Wu Chang who was walking out of the wooden house, and asked curiously: "What did you do to make the Soul Light Sect so angry?"

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "There was such a big commotion that night, you should have heard the news."

Haner looked around like a thief, then approached and whispered, "Did you really steal their holy object?"

Wu Chang curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "How can it be considered stealing when it happens between us believers? We have different beliefs and we fought fairly for the holy object. In the end, the holy object chose me."

Han Er waved his hand, not caring about Wu Chang's words, and asked anxiously: "Can you take it out and have a look?"

"Now is not the right time. You will know when the time comes." Wu Chang kept the secret and returned to the gravekeeper's cabin. He took out the oil lamp and shovel, and started patrolling at night with Irene.

The time Haner agreed with the client was in the second half of the night, and before that, he still had to complete a night patrol.

It's not worth it to be a gravekeeper all day and search all night if your completion rate is deducted due to absenteeism when you haven't finished the dungeon yet.

After walking in the cemetery for just five minutes, Wu Chang saw a zombie appear not far away, staggering towards him. He skillfully swung the shovel and knocked the zombie down.

The zombie that was hit by the shovel stopped moving on the spot. It did not need to be purified by the Soul-Cleansing Flag, and it did not get up again.

As the most experienced gravekeeper, Han Er noticed something was wrong and asked, "What happened in the cemetery on the day I was locked in the Soul Light Cathedral?"

Wu Chang shrugged and pretended to be relaxed: "It's nothing, just a few grave keepers died a few days ago, and last night, the cemetery they were guarding got out of control."

When my true self was hiding yesterday with my social phobia activated, Wu Chang's real self was not idle outside.

While on night patrol, he discovered that zombies kept coming from Cemetery No. 43.

There is only a thin layer of blood moon power in these living corpses, so thin that it can only allow them to stand up once. If you knock them down, the blood moon power will dissipate.

After the night patrol, he drove over in his advanced stealth vehicle to take a look.

This was a shocking sight. The four cemeteries from 40 to 43 had been completely destroyed, and there were at least hundreds of zombies crawling out of the ground.

Although these zombies are fragile, they have become extremely powerful after being transformed by the power of the blood moon, and their attributes are no less than those of the Black Mountain bandits in Years of Peace.

The gravekeeper guarding Cemetery No. 42 is a berserker with half-orc ancestry, strength expertise, and close combat attack style. He was the last person who did not have time to introduce himself that day.

His strength is the weakest among the eight players, and his fighting style is close combat, where he risks injury for injury. When facing an intelligent copy BOSS, they may be frightened by his momentum, forcing him to control the rhythm of the battle and achieve the effect of defeating the strong with the weak.

But faced with the large number of unintelligent zombies, his berserker fighting style quickly turned into a life-threatening one.

Being in a sea of ​​monsters, even if he could kill ten zombies at once, as long as he was left open and touched by the zombies, his blood volume would not be able to hold on over time.

Just as Wu Chang expected, Wu Chang saw with his own eyes that he transformed into a green-skinned orc, rushed into the group of zombies and killed everyone in his way, and then fled in panic within five minutes.

The orcs went to Cemetery No. 39 to ask for help, but Lei Hu just took a look and said he would talk about it in the morning, then took the other players back to their respective cemeteries.

After four cemeteries were lost in succession, the zombie swarms began to spread around.

However, they seemed to be afraid of something. Except for a few stray zombies, most of the zombies spontaneously bypassed Cemetery No. 44 and headed towards Cemetery No. 45 and beyond.

Han Er swallowed his saliva to moisten his dry throat, and asked, "So how many cemeteries are out of control now?"

Wu Chang thought for a moment and said, "About fifteen yuan."

As soon as these words came out, Han Er's face changed instantly.

"You seem anxious?" Wu Chang asked.

Han Er smiled bitterly and said, "How can I not be anxious? Remember I told you before that the existence of the gravekeeper is also part of the eternal life of the blood moon?"

Wu Chang nodded and said, "I remember."

Haner said: "The existence of the gravekeeper is actually equivalent to a barrier. Although the original purpose of setting it up was to concentrate the power of immortality in the cemetery and prevent it from being diluted by ordinary people outside, from the actual effect, the barrier formed by the gravekeeper did block the power of the blood moon's immortality and prevented it from leaking out."

"The fall of the cemetery means that the gravekeeper is either dead or has escaped. Either way, it will cause damage to the barrier."

Haner looked up at the full moon in the sky, his face full of worry.

"This means that when the Blood Moon Eternal occurs tonight, the power of the Blood Moon will affect places outside of the Necropolis. Hopefully, it won't affect the city of Serina."

Wu Chang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.

What he wanted to say was that Haner's hopes might be dashed.

As long as you have seen the resentment of the miracle tree, you will find that creating miracles requires strong emotions and desires.

The reason Mikel I was able to trigger the first miracle was because of the despair brought about by the plague.

The Soul Light Sect, which is controlled by the Fire Master, did not take any further action in the Midnight Cemetery dungeon that they had already controlled. They also secretly hid a miracle tree. It is easy to guess that their purpose is to trigger a miracle.

It triggers a miracle no less than the first miracle and the eternal life of the blood moon.

Zhang Huo, who left after completing this mission, was definitely more unscrupulous and had no bottom line than Mikel I. Wu Chang had reason to suspect that even if no zombies appeared, before the Blood Moon became immortal, Zhang Huo would find a way to destroy the barrier and let the Blood Moon's power directly affect the Selina city area.

But for Haner, not knowing all this is actually a good thing for him.

Tonight's night patrol ended quickly, and several people returned to the gravekeeper's cabin. Before they had time to play a few rounds of Landlord, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the cabin.

The three men collected the cards and walked out of the cabin, and saw nine knights, accompanied by two carriages, parked outside the gravekeeper's cabin.

Wu Chang took a quick look and found that among the nine knights, five of them possessed the power of the blood moon in their bodies. They were obviously resurrected nobles in the Tomb of Eternal Life in disguise.

However, the strength of the blood moon power in their bodies is far inferior to that of the guy sitting in the carriage.

A bishop of the Soul Light Sect got off the carriage and walked up to the two of them. He greeted Han Er, confirmed the details of the commission, and then brought Han Er and Wu Chang to the front of the carriage.

The bishop knocked gently on the door of the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage dropped, revealing the face of a middle-aged man full of majesty.

The bishop introduced, "This is Duke Lutz, the client for tonight's commission. You will follow us in a moment. We only need to open a tomb, and the commission will be completed."

Having said this, the bishop smiled a smile that was so bright that it was eerie.

"After the mission is accomplished, you will not only receive a reward from Duke Lutz, but you will also be able to join the Soul Light Sect. It's a very simple commission, right?"
