Chapter 642: One-Day Trip to Bingtis’s Shadow City

The only impact that the arrival of the divine envoys had on Shadow City and the entire empire's top management was that we had five more mouths to talk to, and along with them there was a gangster leader who wandered around the fortress all day looking for people to fight or inciting others to fight.

The members of Dingdang's team are relatively honest. Although there is a hot-blooded idiot Ilson who will provoke Dingdang from time to time and be hung up and tied up in various places and places, but at least he will not cause harm to others: except himself. When he is in love, he will be beaten up by his sister and cause a traffic jam. Monina is a very good girl except for being a little violent towards her brother. It can be seen that she supports Dingdang's authority very much. Although I often don't understand what kind of authority Dingdang has, this dark goddess lady He is indeed very obedient under Dingdang's orders. For example, when beating Ilson, try to do it outdoors to prevent breaking furniture or something...

As for Long Shen Lin, just like my initial impression of her, she is really an extremely timid and timid girl. It is said that this character is related to her clumsiness and age. According to the view of the gods, this golden two-headed dragon She is still underage, and in human terms, she is still in the age group that has not graduated from junior high school. She was incorporated into Dingdang's combat team as a combat trainee. As the most junior apprentice in the team, she naturally became a handyman. Yes, although the seniors never bully the juniors, the natural character of this Dragon God girl makes people think that she is a doormat at first glance. According to Monina's distressed introduction, because of Lin's unsatisfactory appearance, they The team was once rumored to be a hellish war group that "let the newcomers run around and sell hard work, sweat, sweat, endure humiliation, and make money to support a group of useless seniors." Of course, this rumor did not last long, because the image of Ding Dong, the mascot captain, is in the God Realm. It's so thunderous.

But then again, there are really many innocent guys in the God Realm. Are they so easy to bully before they graduate from junior high school? Look at the people on earth, these days there are already fathers on the first day of the new year...

As for Kenser, I think this uncle is the most unique one among the Ding Dong team. Look, there is a circle of mascots like a silly egg and a vicious doormat, with an Odin standing out in the middle. Who wouldn’t find it awkward?

While everyone in the team is busy having fun all over the world and following Ding Dong around the Shadow City, this white-bearded man who always wears a gray robe in the style of classical mythology is the only one who is doing serious business. A truly understandable report has been compiled here, and Bingtis’s personal situation report has been uploaded to the God Realm. Although he claimed that it was just a matter of raising his hand, it still made me have a crush on this uncle. It gave me a good impression of being stable and reliable: I couldn’t help it, the contrast with the other products that were just messing around was too strong.

As for Bingtis, the leader with the highest status among a group of envoys in theory...

As hosts and personal friends, Sandora and I took on the responsibility of personally accompanying Bingtis to visit the beautiful scenery of Shadow City. Originally, I thought that a wonderland like Avalon would be more in line with Bingtis's hobbies. After all, you see, she She must be a god, and even though she chose the wrong major, she is still a goddess of light after all. This kind of existence that sounds like golden light must live in a glorious temple, floating in the sky above the holy fairy lake, and eat enough every day. It’s only right to go out and weave clouds and rainbows when the sun shines brightly, but her original words were:

"That kind of place has nice hair! It's everywhere in the God Realm. The place I live looks like that. If I want to come to your place to see the wonderland, I might as well go home and lie down by the window and look at the flower beds in the community! Take us around and you two The base camp, barracks, factories, residential areas, etc. - Do you have a shopping street in the human world? Last time I went shopping in the mortal world, it seemed to be a very interesting place!"

above.

Now I feel that Miss Lin is not the only one who can predict things, but also our greatest bishop Lilina. This weird pseudo-loli planned our itinerary before the messenger of God came: eating spicy hotpot, fighting Landlords, squatting on the sofa to discuss world peace, and going to the old city to visit the cottage street, now they can achieve two things.

But in order to prevent accidents, I don’t dare to let these gods go out and wander around before they understand the special environment of the earth, so the day trip to Malatang and the old city has to be slow. Now I will lead Bingtis around the Shadow City. Things have improved, and now this place is gradually becoming more prosperous.

"This is where the heroes of the world of Azeroth live together." After visiting the military area of ​​the fortress, I directly dragged this excited goddess sister to the nearest Stormwind City community. "This is the human area, imitating Stormwind City. It’s a special feature of this place that you can take a walk around the Shadow City and see the scenery of all the worlds. The cathedral in front is where the paladins and priests stay.”

Together with Sandora, I led Bingtis through the human area of ​​Azeroth, and I tried my best to play the role of a guide.

The residential areas where the messengers from each world in Shadow City live were built by themselves after the original buildings were bulldozed by the builders (empire demolition office). Their structures are completely in accordance with the local customs of the corresponding worlds and restore the buildings of other worlds as much as possible. Characteristics, just like now, when walking on the streets of the human area, you will not see any shadow of high-tech cities. You are surrounded by heavy stone buildings like Stormwind City. Even the street signs are made of wood. It feels a bit like visiting a theme park. If no one reminds you, you will definitely think that you have traveled through time.

Of course, the above is just the first impression. If you observe carefully, you can still find the differences between this place and the orthodox alien scenery. For example, a human mage holding a handheld computer and memorizing arcane formulas is holding a mobile phone and calling loudly without knowing it. The paladin in his iron can jamming the signal, the Stormwind infantry roaring by on a motorcycle - Ya's armor broke the motorcycle seat, she dropped sponges along the way, and there was also a bag on the street corner. , there is a sign next to it that says "One-stop service for fortune telling, sale, certification, marriage agency, real estate, antiques, calligraphy and painting, name change, train ticket". In front of it are the Four Treasures of the Study, Bagua, Zhouyi, a pair of chess, a pair of Go, a pair of checkers, a pair of military chess, and a pair of backgammon. , the black super uncle who was stopping some unlucky priest passing by to sell pirated disks.

The above is the unique lifestyle formed by heroes from all over the world in Shadow City. Other communities also have similar... um...

"Bingtis, wait for me, Sandora notifies the urban management team and the solitary room...bastard, don't run away! I saw you! Stop!"

In the curious gaze of Bingtis who had not yet reacted, the two imperial heads accompanying him turned into a flash of yellow light and rushed towards an uncle in black who was fleeing in front, while his close friend beside him began to contact the relevant departments. : "Urban Management Brigade, I am your head of state, gather in the human area of ​​​​Azeroth immediately. Yes, he came out again, and he met Arjun..."

As for the streets, there were only a few stunned passers-by watching the imperial leader leave, bowing blankly amidst the pirated plates and train tickets flying in the sky.

Ten minutes later, I returned.

"Ajun, have you caught him?" Sandora came over curiously.

I looked disgusted: "Don't mention it, he is indeed a man who has fought against half the city's urban management alone. He is a fully agility warrior - isn't that guy a MT? How can he be so good at escaping?"

"There is a kind of warrior in the world who is agile and resistant." Sandora nodded to me seriously.

Can't that old bastard do something else when he has nothing to do? ! Although the regulations stipulate that soldiers can move freely when not on duty, Cicaro doesn't know anything else except selling pirated palm readings? ! I now feel that the Shadow City Urban Management Brigade has been set up just for him!

"Well, can I interrupt now?" Bingtis was stunned for more than ten minutes, and then he touched my arm, "What was that for just now?"

Shandora and I turned around at the same time: "Chengguan Nemesis!"

"It looks very interesting," Bingtis nodded seriously, "It turns out there are such interesting people here... Chen, take me to the cathedral to see it!"

I don't know why this goddess with a different way of thinking suddenly wanted to go to the cathedral, but the attention she attracted here just now for chasing Sicaro was indeed a bit high, so it would be a good idea to move her position.

Since no one dares to build another "royal building" in the capital of the empire, no royal palace is allowed in the residential areas of all races in the Shadow City. The cathedral in the human area of ​​Azeroth is the most magnificent building here. It is a building made entirely of stone. When built, the huge vault structure was reinforced with layers of arcane magic and holy light, adhering to the consistent heavy and grand style of Stormwind City architecture. It can accommodate thousands of clergymen to worship inside at the same time. The name of this church is Light's Hope Chapel - a very familiar name, right? Yes, it was named directly after the Holy Light's Hope Chapel in the Plaguelands. During the Salvation War, that chapel was one of the most fierce bridgeheads of the Salvation Army's bloody battles, but in the end it still fell into a paradise for the undead and mutant demons. When the imperial fleet flew over the Eastern Plaguelands, this temple, which represented the blood will of the mortal race, was destroyed by the flames of the psionic blast cannon like other fortresses occupied by demons. As a commemoration, when the Salvation War was won, Afterwards, the rebels rebuilt the cathedral in the scorched Eastern Plaguelands, and decided that in the future, every frontline church that represents the progress of the Salvation Army will be called "The Hope of Light" ".

An allusion worthy of inclusion in the epic, although I think it would lead to all kinds of geographical confusion...

In front of the cathedral is a large stone square. According to the human construction habits of Stormwind City, there are sculptures of figures related to the church in the center of the square. The priests of the world of Azeroth believe in the Holy Light, and there is no clear God in their religion. Therefore, this sculpture is not God, but a figure with huge wings stretched out and arms open as if he is gently embracing the world. The beautiful goddess, this goddess really exists in the real world, so due to some religious taboos, the facial lines of the sculpture are shrouded in some kind of permanent holy light and cannot be viewed directly, but I have always suspected that, This should be the second best choice made by the group of human sculptors out of desperation because they were unable to 100% restore the true appearance of the "goddess" without getting rid of that dull look on her face...

"This is Alaya's sculpture. During the Salvation War, the idiot cat single-handedly shaped the Holy Light Barrier covering almost a fifth of the continent, blocking the mutant demons in the entire Eastern Plague Land for a day, allowing the Salvation Army to The warriors were able to retreat safely to the Ghostlands, which the blood elves called a miracle."

Until now, I haven't dared to tell those warriors who were so passionate about their faith that Alaya actually got lost on the Quel'Thalas trail - it was Qian Qian who was originally responsible for covering their retreat.

Unfortunately, Qian Qian is also lost.

"Wow! This place is not bad!" Standing in front of the cathedral, I felt the strong power of holy light coming from inside as thousands of priests prayed together. Although it could not compete with the divine magic of the gods, Compared with the light, Bingtis still raised his head with satisfaction, "I also have many churches like this. The Light God Clan relies on churches for food - you guys wait outside, I'll come as soon as I go!!"

I was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing?"

Bingtis had already run to the door of the church at this time and greeted without looking back: "Collect the protection fee!! There is a fee for believing in the Holy Light!"

Sandora and I were immediately stunned.

What was even more dumbfounding was that the female hooligan came out a few minutes later, holding a big cloth bag in her hand. She didn't even look normal when she arrived: "Before I even spoke, those clergymen took the initiative to pay for it." …”

"What have you done?"

"Rush to the pulpit, release the holy light and wings, and then collect the money." Bingtis agreed honestly.

"I must think you are the Sisters of Battle," I slapped my forehead. "That is a fanatical organization composed of female priests from all the worlds in the empire's area who believe in the Holy Light. They directly believe in Alaya. The backbone is The female paladins and priests who were personally rescued by Alaya during the Salvation War would collect one or two offerings from various cathedrals on fixed days to replenish their military supplies. The days are almost here... don't hurry up and give them back. ! There are people inside collecting protection fees!"

Bingtis was stunned for a moment, and before leaving, he muttered: "Does this place only charge protection fees for groups?"

"I said, Sandora, was she like this before?"

"It's normal. Have you forgotten that she formed the largest interstellar gang in the world that I ruled?" Her Majesty the Queen shook her head and sighed, "She has no malice and will not hurt others. She just treats it as a game. What do you think of the gods? It’s impossible to guess.”

After leading Bingtis to visit the human area, we set off to the undead area. It wasn't just on the way, but mainly because I really didn't want to cause harm to the living people. Those boring skeletons probably wouldn't arouse Bingtis's interest. ?

The ideas are good, but the facts are often terrible.

"I, Bingtis, am the Lord of Shadows!"

"The gospel of darkness will last forever!"

"Death is justice, nothingness is eternal, and the ultimate truth is also hidden in the shadows!"

"Gather at my feet! Feel the grace of the boundless darkness! Enjoy the solace of the biting shadow!"

"The Dark Goddess will bless you forever - thanks for your patronage, next!"

The Skeleton Lord whose name was called hurried forward and knelt down in front of the dark pulpit that Bingtis had taken out from nowhere: "God of Darkness, my soul flame seems to be weakening recently, and my movement speed It’s getting sluggish.”

Bingtis, who was shrouded in black mist, stretched out his foot and stepped on the lord's shoulders to bless him. He raised his hands in the air and said, "Confused child, you just lack calcium - next one!"

Sandora and I stood dumbfounded behind this female gangster, looking at the huge gathering place of the undead that was already filled with pork belly and high-calcium tablets, pits full of skeletons, ghosts, and psychics, all lined up all the way to the tunnel in the distance. There are two lichs hanging on the top of the pagoda below, holding signs saying "Tail of the Line" in their hands, waiting to be called...

I had forgotten that this goddess of light who claims to promote fraternity and holy light actually comes from a family of three generations of black people.

All in all, Bingtis' ability to make trouble is far beyond my imagination. She recruited young men to collect protection fees and promote dark doctrines. She did it in the capital of the empire under the noses of two imperial heads. There was pressure, and Sandora still had an expression of "That's just her, just get used to it". It turned out that we were the guides who led her around the Shadow City, and for the second half of the day, it was basically this female gangster who was full of enthusiasm. The city was running wild and Sandora and I followed closely behind like my parents.

Finally, the first day was over: it was getting close to evening, and luckily Bingtis still knew where to eat. Sandra would be so hungry that she would go berserk if she continued shopping.

"Hey, Chen, I'm very happy today, but now I'm a little bored! What are you going to do tomorrow? Is there anything else interesting in Shadow City? Those paladins in Stormwind City paid the protection fee too happily! Still! There are those skeletons in the undead area, and they will kneel down immediately when they see me, so there is no challenge at all!"

Say it again? If you tell me again, I will send you and Cicaro to buy orders under the Erli Bridge tomorrow, so that you can see what a challenging career is!

The soul of complaining in my heart was almost burnt to ashes. Next to me, Sandora was grinding her teeth. I had to comfort her quickly: "Be good, go home and eat now. Just be patient. It's not easy for people to build these houses..." …”

"Ah, by the way, Chen, I just noticed that the time and space control hub here seems to be preparing for some big move. It has temporarily built so many time and space lines. What are you going to do?"

"Well, it turns out that you can directly see the space changes?" I expressed my envy and hatred for Bingtis's ability for a moment, "Actually, it was just a small amount of attention, and then Sandora enlarged it..."

At the moment, I told Bingtis about the upcoming grand gathering of thousands of worlds and races (...). This is not a secret, and with the skills of the gods, if they want to know this, they can probably see it with their eyes.

"Wow, that sounds interesting," Bingtis's eyes immediately lit up, "The circulation of the worlds? Your mortal race is really much stronger than those old men's alliance. You can come up with such interesting ideas! In this case, Maybe I can give you some advice... Hey! Don't look at me like that! I am serious about helping you this time!"
