It doesn't matter what the lord is.

"You are……"

The two people looked familiar. They had met at the banquet hosted by the king. At that time, the city lords were seated in order of the strength of their territories. These two sat in the first and second seats respectively. The young man sitting in the first seat was a handsome guy with a bit of facial paralysis. He ate fish without saying a word. The guy sitting in the second seat was a brown-skinned guy with a bright smile. He was a chatterbox and looked easy to get along with.

The most important thing is that they look somewhat similar. As for their names, I remember they should be——

While Lid was still thinking, the brown-skinned young man smiled first and said in a friendly manner:

"I remember you. You are the guy who beat Norn half-crippled. Your name seems to be Lid? Why didn't you leave? This place is very dangerous. It is not advisable to stay here for long. By the way, do you still remember the two of us? My name is Hei, you can just call me Brother Hei, and this is Xiaobai. We came from the east. There are fewer dragons there. If you can't find the way, you can go east."

Oh, yes. It’s called Black and White.

A name that can be recognized by the skin color.

Lid smiled and replied:

"Thanks, Hei. Where are you two going?"

White remained silent throughout the entire conversation, standing there like an ice sculpture. Black, on the other hand, was full of words:

"We plan to find the eye of the national defense formation and find a way to repair it. Otherwise, the dragons can pour in through that gap. The flying dragons are now focusing their main energy on destroying the capital, so their power to guard the formation should be weaker. We must take this opportunity to plug that gap. If we are late, the dragon reinforcements will arrive and humans will be doomed."

Lid nodded and said:

"Are you two sure?"

Xiao Hei smiled bitterly and said:

"How can we be sure? Not everything in this world can be done with full preparation. Fortunately, we are not the only ones who have this idea. At present, there are at least three other city lords who will cooperate with our actions. In addition, Bai Du and I still have some fighting power. If everything goes well, we may succeed. It's just..."

Black glanced at White and said:

"We two may have to separate. To repair the great formation of the capital, two prerequisites are needed. One is that the giant dragon in the center of the capital cannot interfere, and the other is that the blood energy of Tianyue Mountain cannot continue to increase. The giant dragon in the center of the capital can be dealt with by Senior Qingyun, but there is no good solution for the flying dragons in Tianyue Mountain. Sigh... it would be great if the big sister came this time. If she were here, there might be a way. Now the only way we can think of is to let Bai lead the two city lords to Tianyue Mountain, and I will go alone to repair the formation, but the success rate is too low. It's really troublesome... ah, sorry, I've said so much, you must be tired of it."

Lid cast his eyes on Bai. Bai just licked the back of his hand like a cat, and then rubbed a tuft of hair on his forehead with the back of his hand.

Lid couldn't see through his specific realm.

It should be less than the tenth level, but perhaps he has practiced a very special martial art, so it is impossible to read the specific realm level. Hei Yao is even stranger. He obviously has not learned any martial arts, but the power hidden in his body is like a vast ocean, as if he was born this powerful.

However, considering that the third-ranked territory in the world produced a monster like Lingwu Lord who was a master of both civil and military affairs, it did not seem surprising that the two territories above it had such unusual heirs.

After a little thought, Reed said:

"I'm going to the treasury now to pick up some weapons and equipment to take away. You guys can come along. After all, these are things from the capital, so it would be a waste if we don't take them."

Black was surprised and said:

"National Treasury? That door is made of meteorite iron. It is almost impossible to break through it with external force."

"What are you thinking about..."

Lid showed him the key in his hand and said:

"I have some connections in the capital."

Black immediately patted Lid's shoulder and said with shining eyes:

"Is this true? Brother, this is no ordinary trick! There are no more than three keys to the treasury in the entire kingdom! After the last banquet, Bai said that you are a hidden talent, and it turns out to be true."

He suddenly clapped his hands and asked:

"Hey, what are you doing with your weapons and equipment?"

When he asked this question, Lid had already walked towards the treasury and said without looking back:

"Let's go to Tianyue Mountain."

Bai followed him, like a stray cat begging for food.

Hei blinked his eyes before he reacted. He shouted, "Wait for me," and hurriedly followed.

69. Be well prepared

Along the way, Hei Na's mumbling never stopped:

"Let me tell you, Bai and I were planning to run away. As soon as the guards left, Bai and I were the first to rush out. We ran all the way to the edge of the capital. When we looked back, we saw a sea of ​​fire. There were dead bodies everywhere. The air smelled of blood and burnt meat. It made me want to vomit."

"Although I knew that the king was a worthless person, I didn't expect that he didn't even have the courage to resist. He mobilized the three major organizations, the Jinyiwei, the Imperial Guards, and the Tiance Mansion, to escort me away, and took away the last strength of the capital without leaving anything. If it weren't for the good intentions of the white-robed minister, the capital would have been destroyed long ago."

"I'm really angry! I'm so angry! Aren't you two angry? What's going on? The royal family has caused trouble themselves, but they don't care about it. They let us, the city lords, clean up the mess. Is this something human beings can do? Bai and I wanted to leave, but after thinking it over for a long time, we came back."

"No reason. There's no reason for that! The dragons have come to our doorstep. If we don't unite, we'll really become slaves. My brother Hei is not a good person either, but now if I don't want to be a hero, I'll have to be a dog. This is... There's no choice!"

In the face of Black's series of complaints, Lid also echoed a few words, and White just said lightly:

"Noisy."

But Hei continued to talk in a long-winded manner, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

It was not until they reached the treasury that Lid said with a smile:

"Don't complain yet. Come, get ready to choose your weapons."

The three people walked to the door of the treasury and were stopped as expected. However, after Lid showed the key in his hand, the guards' eyes suddenly changed. They quickly put away their weapons and let the group pass smoothly. One of the guards taught them how to use the key to open the door of the treasury, and then took them to the top floor.

The moment the door opened, Reed narrowed his eyes.

A chill came over me.

The room was very empty, but also very full. It was empty because there was no furniture in the huge room, and the floor was clean. It was full because, although there was nothing on the floor, the walls were covered with all kinds of weapons and armor. It was a feast for the eyes.

Reed was the first to go in.

He casually wiped away the dust on a spear, and the faint light on the spear suddenly began to flicker, as if it was breathing. If I were to simply describe Lid's current feelings, it would really be -

One hit for 999, equipment explodes all over the ground!

Just click to get the dragon-slaying sword and the paralysis ring is within your reach!

Really! It doesn’t cost! A penny!

He waved his hand violently, and the wind instantly blew away the dust from various equipment in the room.

It was as if a mechanism had been turned on, and the originally dim room suddenly became extremely bright.

No jewels or gems can compare to this kind of brilliance.

Black and White were obviously more worldly-wise and were not particularly surprised, but Black still sighed:

"There really are so many good things... This is just one floor of one of the four major treasuries. The foundation of the royal capital should not be underestimated."

After that, he patted Lid on the shoulder and said:

"Brother, you are the one who brought us here, so you can pick the things first. Xiaobai and I can pick up some of the rest and take them away."

After saying that, he and Bai retreated to the door and waited quietly.

Reed nodded, and without refusing, began to take things off the wall one by one.

The equipment here was arranged in different categories, and each one had an expensive white jade plaque engraved with the grade and name of the equipment. Lide had never seen equipment of this level before, and if it was placed in Yunyang, it would probably be an heirloom. I really don't know how many generations of wealth the royal family had accumulated to reach this level.

Reed remembered that he had played some online games in his previous life.

At first, he was a typical operation-oriented player, who liked to move around in a cunning way, kill at low health, and was keen on all kinds of cool combos. Later, after being killed in the arena many times in a row, he spent money to buy a set of +15 red clothes, which set off a bloody storm in the entire region.

That day he understood.

Relying on pure technology to defeat the strong can give you a very satisfying sense of accomplishment, but that is not the limit.

Being a krypton gold warrior and crushing others with the advantage of equipment is really fun.

Same now!

There are fourteen pieces of equipment at the [Lucky to See] level:

[Qingyue Wrist] was made by humans using the scales of the "Kisame" killed after the bloody battle in Nanyang 420 years ago. It was taken out from the national treasury 200 years ago to deal with the invasion of demons at that time.

[Heart-viewing Mirror], once one of the three legendary heart-protecting mirrors. It is said to be able to block the full force attack of any strong man below the tenth level. After the whereabouts of the other two heart-protecting mirrors [Liufeng Mirror] and [Taiping Mirror] were unknown, it became the highest-grade heart-protecting mirror currently available.

[Fire-Repellent Belt] is a headband made of two extremely strong materials, red gold silk and red silk. Conventional flames cannot get close to it. When it is thrown into the fire, the flames will automatically retreat to the surrounding area. Seventy-nine years ago, the last red silkworm died in human territory, and the Fire-Repellent Belt officially became out of print.

[Liuyun Pei], a jade pendant made of precious jade that was inlaid on the crown "Liuyun Crown" 630 years ago. It has the power of calming the mind and can make most illusions directly invalid. The first king of Yongtian Kingdom liked this jade pendant very much and once commented that "it has the power to break delusion and eliminate disasters, which is rare in the world."

[Heavenly Chain] is a less common chain weapon. The chains are interlocking and the mechanisms are combined. When fully unfolded, it will be more than 50 meters long, but when folded, it can be easily wrapped around the arm. There are twelve chains in total, and the tip is embedded with a sharp blade similar to the tip of a gun. The chain is made of black iron, and each small chain ring can be exchanged for a mansion.

[Snake Kiss Spear], a spear recorded in "The Record of Subduing Demons", has a spear tip made of the fangs of the demon "Hydra" and a hollow black copper gun body. The word "fast" is the highlight. The poison of the spear tip kills instantly, and combined with the advantage of the length of the spear itself, as long as it causes a little external injury to the opponent, it can directly declare victory.

[Pine Leaf Spear], a spear made by Nanchen, the most famous blacksmith in the capital, using emerald stone 130 years ago. The spear is a whole piece, with a gradient from green to brown from the tip to the body. It feels as smooth as jade in the hand, and is a very spiritual spear.

[Shadow Spear], one of the weapons in the "Shadow" series. The spear body is made of living creatures of the Nanman, and it is erratic. When it is held, it is a spear, and when it is dispersed, it becomes a swarm of insects like smoke. The form can be switched freely. Once activated and used, the user needs to feed it with blood.

[Rebirth Blade], a blade that is said to be able to "kill anything", is cursed and becomes lavender. The blade drinks blood, so killing people often does not involve a single drop of blood. When it absorbs enough blood, it turns bright red. At this time, when the blade is swung, it will make a shrill sound of breaking through the air, like the screaming of a ghost.

【Thunder Blade】, a blade made of thunder stone after eighty-one forgings, as thin as a cicada's wing, emitting a faint green glow. It makes a crackling sound when swinging the blade, and causes paralysis and burns when cutting wounds. The person holding the blade will gradually lose the sensation of the hand, so it cannot be used for a long time.

[Pluto Sword], a sword set consisting of a long sword and two short swords. The blades attract each other, and when you hold one sword, the remaining two swords move as you wish, and the three swords attract each other and become a whole.

[Hidden Killing Thorn], when worn on the wrist, it is no different from a wrist guard, but when the mechanism is touched, a sharp thorn blade can be quickly ejected. The thorn blade is 7.3 inches long, blue-gray in color, and can easily cut through thick iron blocks.

【Galaxy Hook】, a rare weapon, consists of two long hooks. It is named after the star-shaped hook. There is a legend that this hook can be used to fish for the moon.

[Nine-edged Mace] is also an uncommon weapon. It exerts great power in Mount and Blade. The nine edges are dark red, full of blood and violence.

There are three pieces of equipment at the [He Xun] level:

[Nameless Staff], whose name and origin are unknown. A staff handed down from ancient times, it contains unparalleled power, but no magician can use it properly. "Difficult to control" is the biggest feature of this staff. For ordinary people, using this staff is not as convenient as using ordinary staffs.

[Taikosan], with the same structure as the haori, is black and white, and has the meaning of yin and yang. It has a strong defense against most non-physical attacks. When the wearer is in the air, the body will be extremely light, and can even ride the wind for a short time. Taikosan can dissolve sword energy and magic, but it has no good defense against direct slashing by weapons, and needs to be used with other protective gear.

[Black Flame Armor], extremely flexible hand armor. Made of tiny black iron chains, the craftsmanship is extremely complicated. The iron chains are so flexible that they are similar to silk threads, and the hand armor is extremely strong and flexible. According to incomplete estimates, the hand armor is made up of tens of thousands of tiny iron rings. In terms of craftsmanship alone, no one has reached such a high level in thousands of years. Not to mention that the source of the materials is already a mystery.

Rare treasures and various magical weapons.

Now all dressed.

Lid pulled up his gauntlets, breathed a sigh of relief, shook his hair, turned around, and said to Black and White with a bright face:

"I'm done."

Hei glanced at Lid, who was wearing a full set of weapons, and nodded. He did not ask Lid whether he could use up all the weapons he brought, or whether they would become a burden. He just said seriously:

“Brother Lide, I’ll leave Tianyue Mountain in your hands. If we can still meet alive later, let’s find a chance to have a few drinks together. If one of us can’t come back, I hope the rest of us can help burn incense during the holidays. I’m afraid that what happened in the capital this time will become a shame for mankind. Such terrible things will probably not be recorded in history. In the future, no one will remember that we did these things here... Forget it, it’s meaningless to talk about these things. Come on!”

As he spoke, Hei found a stick of [He Xun] level, held it in his hand, and began to choose armor again. Bai did not move, and seemed not to plan to choose any equipment, still standing at the door. When Lid walked out of the door, he took a step to the side to make way.

As they passed by each other, Bai suddenly said:

"Don't die."

After saying that, Bai looked away again and used his hands to comb his sticky hair like he was combing his hair.

Reed smiled, didn't answer, and strode away.

70. Absolute Power

The center of the royal capital.

A giant silver-grey dragon perched on the ruins, coldly overlooking the chaos in the royal capital.

Beside him, there were countless mutilated bodies lying.

However, there was not even a scratch on its scales, and the morning sun shone on its body, reflecting a bright glow.

It seems so out of place among the desolate ruins.

——Humans are such weak and ignorant creatures.

It made such a cold and matter-of-fact judgment with an extremely peaceful state of mind.

Everything in the royal capital is under its gaze, and nothing escapes its eyes.

Its subordinates chewed the living people with a crunching sound, and the sound of sharp canine teeth piercing the internal organs could be clearly heard. Fire is not a human monopoly, nor is it something that humans can control. For the dragon clan, the fire in the capital symbolizes purification and the beginning of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new.

Just as humans will not have complicated emotions after stepping on an ant, dragons will not have any emotional waves after killing someone.

No, rather than the word "kill", the word "erase" is more appropriate.

The weak humans relied on the national defense formation to survive, but they fled in panic the moment the formation was broken.

To it, running away or resisting was meaningless. As long as it wanted, it could burn the entire capital to the ground in an instant. Even if it was the capital of the entire human race, it could crush it city by city without any effective obstacles.

Given this absolute gap in power, it cannot understand why humans are still unwilling to give up their ugly resistance.

Holding such a blunt weapon and relying on a flesh and blood body that would break at the slightest touch, they dared to challenge him. But it only needed a glance, and the wind around it would tear those ignorant people into pieces. A large amount of blood dyed the ground around it dark red, and so far, no one has been able to approach within 20 meters of him.
