Son of the Olden Days

In a blink of an eye, the second month of Midsummer is gradually coming to an end, and the climate is still burning like a stream of fire.

During this period of time, Thor did not go to the maze at the foot of the Twilight Mountains to collect demons, not because of laziness, but because of the intelligence feedback from Sean, the carrying capacity of the maze itself is limited. No matter how many people go there is no use.

The so-called limited carrying capacity does not mean that the space of the maze is not large enough, but that the number of monsters wandering in it is limited.

According to Sean, there are two main reasons why the efficiency of hunting magic souls can't rise. One is that the monsters in the maze are not dense, and hunters need to actively search for them. Another reason is that the monster's rank is unstable, high and low at random, ranging from second to fifth.

Usually encountering monsters of Tier 4 and 5, the hunting team will suffer casualties. After all, the average strength of the entire Scarlet Cross member is now only about Tier 3. However, there are not many high-level monsters in the maze, and most hunting teams will try to avoid them if they can't fight them.

The good news is that the maze seems to heal itself. Every day the entrance of the maze changes its position by itself, and then reappears around the foothills of the Twilight Mountains. The fake origin stone sold by Lubiana's demon mushrooms has now been handed.

With each reappearance of the entrance of the maze, some things will not change, such as the terrain and pattern of the environment of the maze. At the same time, some things will change. For example, a monster that has been cleaned up in a certain area will reappear, but the food will not.

The food picked and harvested in the maze will not grow due to the reappearance of the entrance to the maze. After discussing with Sean, Saul and Sean believe that although there are no seasons in the maze, the crops may still follow the normal growth pattern, such as ripening every few months.

The fact that monsters will reappear is actually very good, which means that hunting squads have monsters to kill every day, without having to go too deep in the maze. Otherwise, each level of this maze will have to be walked for three months, and no monsters will have to go to the next level.

In that case, it would be more than half a year once and again, the hunting cycle was too long, and there were too many variables such as danger halfway.

Nowadays, the hunting squad of 1,000 people seems to be quite large, but scattered in the labyrinth is as small as sand spilling into the ocean.

A full thousand people were divided into ten centuries by Sean, and each centuries was divided into five groups. Some of these teams return on the same day, and some return after two or three days. The furthest one returns more than ten days later, and then the teams rotate with each other.

These details are Shaun's own grasp, Sol did not intervene. It's just that now it's almost hard for Sol to go to the maze to encounter monsters. Almost all of those close to the entrance were killed by the team that returned that day. Sol wanted to find the monster unless he walked away for more than ten days.

According to Sean, a conservative estimate should be able to harvest at least 6,000 demons in a month. This seems to be a lot. After all, it is more than 70,000 demons in a year. However, in terms of the current situation in the mainland, it is hard to say whether the Freedom City has one year left.

The first batch of demonic souls harvested in the maze has been divided. This time Thor no longer intervenes in the sleep of the advancement level, but lets the people who reach the advancement pass make arrangements for themselves, and he is responsible for providing the return potion. The only thing Sol bothered about was his own nest of shiitake mushrooms.

This time Beth, Neferna, Petty, Sereo, and younger brother Gerabi, all five second-tiers fell asleep at the same time.

The usual lively Lord's Mansion was much quieter again, Sol asked the mushrooms to take care of each other, and he himself came to Odrensa.

When Saul arrived, Feith’s wife Zogly received him. It is said that Susie went back to the family to visit her family. Feith herself was still busy with daily work and had not returned. Saul was not in a hurry, waiting quietly while sipping tea in the living room.

It was actually only two months since the auction, but Sol had to go there again in person to worry about evil things.

"You guy, it’s been a few days since the last time we were apart? The Demon Soul and Demon Crystal have already been sent to you, and we have already cleared each other. What advantage do you want to take when you come here this time?" Faith said with a smile Pass the coat to Zogly and take Sol to the study.

Sol didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the subject. He first talked about the two recent fights between himself and the evil spirits, and then proposed that Faith could persuade the elders of the Dark Council to take action and try the fineness of the ruled evil spirits in the southern realm.

It's not that Saul himself is afraid of facing danger, but that melee combat is basically incomprehensible to the evil spirits of the rules, and he is sucked into the rules before he gets close. Therefore, testing the strength of the evil spirits of the rules can only be handed over to the remote wizard, preferably a high-level wizard.

"Actually... we pay more attention to it than you think. The council has already taken action. Well, it was probably last month. The goal is the evil rule that only wanders around Kanath Territory I mentioned last time. Spirit." Faith looked a little solemn.

"What's the result?" Seeing Faith's face, Thor had already guessed the probabilities in his heart, but he still had to ask the details.

"The evil spirit has been under our observation and surveillance. After it destroyed two nearby small territories, Setin, the three-seat elder of the council, passed by himself, but... still failed to destroy it, only weakened it. The rules." Firth replied.

"Weakened? Do you know what the rules of the evil spirit are? Or has someone come back from the rules of the evil spirit?" Sol suddenly raised his eyebrows, raised his face and asked eagerly. After all, if you don't even understand the content of the rules, how can you judge Is it weakened or strengthened?

"It is not the weakening of the content and strength of the rules, but the scope. According to our observations, the evil spirit will continue to devour the surrounding dead, and then its scope of the rules...will gradually expand, and it is this reason that alarmed the council. "Face said.

Will the scope of the rules be expanded? Thor's eyes were a little horrified, so let it continue to swallow endlessly, will it become a mobile collector on the mainland? No, it is much more dangerous than collectors, and you can at least struggle with collectors.

And if this swallowing can't be effectively stopped, who knows what form the evil spirit will grow in the end, perhaps the evil spirit's upper monster evil spirit may appear in advance. Now it is very difficult to face an evil spirit, let alone an evil spirit.

"Elder Setin brought the elite wizard of the Dark Cross to the scene personally, holding the distance, and carrying out a long-range magical attack on the evil spirit. However, it could not be eliminated, but the scope of its rules was narrowed. This shows that the attack is not like water off a duck's back."

"Later, the three elders of the Dark Council personally went there again and compressed its rules again, but still couldn't eliminate its body. This is what happened last month." Faith explained the whole process in detail.

Saul fell into a brief period of speechlessness, and obviously, the situation he was most worried about had happened after all.

The rule evil spirit, at least in the current continent, is incomprehensible and invincible, and can actually carry three eighth-tier joints without extinction.

"Then... if the rule evil spirit wanders to Odrensa, no, if a rule evil spirit suddenly appears around Odrensa, what are you going to do? Have you figured out the specifics of this evil spirit? The reason?" Sol asked.

"I don't know the specific reason. After all, this **** thing appeared suddenly, and there is no obvious sign, and there is no direction to follow. The only good news is that the northern side is not clear, but the south is still Only this one."

"If it appears in Odrensa... we have also discussed at the conference, there is only one feasible way for the time being, that is, to exchange it with life." Faith said a little bit painfully, the content of these meetings may be internal secrets, but He didn't hide it from Saul.

"Use life in exchange? Do you mean to send someone up to carry it?" Saul murmured.

"It's not hard to carry, it's sacrifice, it's not the kind of battle that you think you come and go, it's death." Fiss replied.

Not to fight but to die? Thor sounded baffled. How could there be sacrifices without fighting?

"The sacrifice of a certain mage made us notice that when a person enters its rules and disappears, the evil spirit will make a tendentious directional movement, move to the place where the person disappeared, and then continue to wander." Faith detailed Explained it again.

"You..., want to step on the edge of its rules and not stop using human lives to attract it to the distance?" Saul was a little bit stunned.

"This can only be done. The sacrifice of a few people is for the majority to live. For this reason, we have specially raised a group of death row prisoners..."

"Why not use living things like chickens, dogs, and mice? In theory, any living thing can be attracted?" Sol interrupted Faith.

"Yes, it is indeed a way, but it is actually useless. Because we have estimated the distance and want to attract it from a territory to somewhere three days away, at least thousands of lives are needed, but the key is that it may Will be back soon."

"And in the future, a chicken may not be cheaper than a human life. Do you know the price of a roast chicken in Odrensa that was originally less than a silver coin now? It has more than doubled dozens of times." Faith sighed with emotion.

Saul fell silent, and his heart fell into the abyss. The situation on the mainland was indeed rushing towards the worst.

"How many small and medium-sized territories are still holding on to the southern border?" Sol raised his head and asked.

"There are some, but they may be almost destroyed. Most of the people have retreated to the main city. If you can’t survive the City of Freedom... Let go, bring your family to Odrunza, and blame me in the past. Try to help you solve it." Fiss suggested.

Sol took a deep look at Faith, and finally just thanked him and shook his head. To be selfish, there is indeed a more reliable line of defense for leaving the leaders of the Free City to Odrensa. But with a population of more than 20,000, it really does not mean that you can abandon it.

And now I don’t just have a brood of shiitake mushrooms in my family, what about the old goblin and Stet Diller? Behind each of them is their own family and important people. Who will be abandoned at that time?

Saul thought for a while, instead of running to the large main city to crowd with others, he might as well hold hands on his own ground and die together.
