Chapter 208 Cannon Fodder Goes First

In the courtyard, Xiao Jian's original body was busy moving the flower pots to where they should be.

Although Xiao Jian, who has the "invisible hand", does not need to do it himself, he still needs to "manually" lift and put down the flower pots.

All along, when Xiao Jian appeared in front of others in the image of a clone, he could "transform" cards, weapons, servants or any devices out of thin air with just a hand.

However, behind such a chic, it was Xiao Jian's original body who worked tirelessly to lift and pass...

After all, the material exchange between Xiao Jian and the clone can only be through the "faith link", and the faith link is limited to the original body and the clone.

So, in the "windmill world", the shiny black raven stood proudly on the high ground, and countless newly converted believers knelt and shouted "great"...

Xiao Jian's original body was still busying up and down.

The sound of wings flapping, the sound of flower pots rubbing against the terrace on the fourth floor...

Such repeated noises woke up Shao Youxian, who had just fallen asleep on the second floor.

He first wrapped himself in the quilt for a while, and found that the noise still had no intention of stopping. Then he became a little more energetic, put on a piece of clothing and walked out of the house.

Then, he met Xiao Jian.

"Sorry, I disturbed you." Xiao Jian looked up at the sky, and the bright moon was hanging in the middle of the sky...

"Ah, ah..."

"Fuck!"

Xiao Jian howled unconsciously and immediately took off the [Wolf Tooth Necklace] that he had forgotten to take off.

"What are you doing?" Shao Youxian was slightly stunned.

"Oh, it's the side effect of this relic..." Xiao Jian shook the [Wolf Tooth Necklace] and briefly explained the origin of this thing.

"Is that so? It turns out that it has side effects..." Shao Youxian scratched his head.

Although Shao Youxian had used this necklace before when testing the additional attack power on gunpowder weapons, he did not feel anything unusual because it was daytime at that time.

"Almost all relics will have some side effects. Of course, there are exceptions, but they are rare." Xiao Jian replied.

"Oh..." Shao Youxian didn't know much about relics, after all, the entire fortress town couldn't find a single relic.

But he was still familiar with this kind of magical item, after all, there were still a few relics in the former Nanwu Fortress.

But with the fall of Nanwu Fortress, those relics have long disappeared.

"What are you doing?" Shao Youxian was a little curious about Xiao Jian's busyness in the middle of the night.

"This is a long story... Let's find a place to sit and talk."

Xiao Jian took Shao Youxian to the first floor, lit a fire in the stove to boil water, and then slowly told him everything he had just experienced.

During this time, the water boiled.

Xiao Jian made a cup of fake milk with creamer + sugar for himself and Shao Youxian.

"It's like this!" Shao Youxian scratched his head, "It's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes."

"It's really spectacular, but that kind of parasite is really disgusting..." Xiao Jian had a headache.

"I suggest you pay more attention to the survivors. If they show signs of being parasitized, it means you have to upgrade your protection level." Shao Youxian thought for a while and said.

"Indeed."

"But the information we have collected so far is still too little. Apart from knowing the name of that person, we know almost nothing about him... How is your translation work going?" Shao Youxian asked with concern.

Xiao Jian had seized many scrolls before, and Shao Youxian already knew about this.

"Don't mention it, it's too troublesome." Xiao Jian had a headache when he mentioned those scrolls.

And Shao Youxian was helpless.

"Speaking of this, what's the matter with those zombies that suddenly refreshed? Do you think it has something to do with that 'god'?"

Xiao Jian changed the subject, not wanting to think about those scrolls and documents - Xiao Jian also talked about the zombies that started to refresh before.

"Well..." Shao Youxian thought for a while, "It's hard to make a conclusion, what do you think?"

"I always feel that these zombies have little to do with the 'god'... but it's related to those survivors."

Next, Xiao Jian expressed his guess: "Maybe, these suddenly appearing human survivors have 'occupied' that world fragment in a sense, thus triggering some conditions we don't know..."

"You mean, their stay reset the monster refresh?" Shao Youxian asked.

"Yes! That's what I mean!" Xiao Jian was afraid that the other party didn't understand. Since there was this concept, it would be much easier to explain: "I got a piece of information from the scrolls of the Dragon Skull Clan, that is, the 'master of the world fragment' is a very valuable sacrifice."

"Before, I guessed that the so-called 'master of the world fragment' might be related to its aborigines... But now that those survivors have prompted a certain mechanism to refresh, zombies that only appear in the newly generated world fragments have appeared..."

"So does it mean that those survivors have already obtained that world fragment? Their identities have changed to the masters there?"

After listening to Xiao Jian's description and speculation, Shao Youxian was silent for a long time.

Compared to Xiao Jian, he actually had more information.

Even the long-dead "Lighthouse World" had been studied by Shao Youxian and his team. With Xiao Jian's supplement, all the information basically matched up.

First, the fog will quickly devour the ownerless, "dead" world fragments.

This has been confirmed in the "Lighthouse World" and the "Windmill World".

Then, after the survivors in the "Windmill World" have obtained the most basic security and housing, they began to settle down...

In other words, although it is not clear what elements are needed to "occupy" an ownerless world fragment, all the changes occurred after Xiao Jian built a building for the survivors.

In other words, at least having a "home" is the inducement and even a necessary condition for "occupying" a world fragment.

"I personally agree with your judgment, but the final conclusion still needs to be discussed in a meeting..." Shao Youxian said very rigorously.

"Indeed." Xiao Jian nodded.

After a brief exchange, the two suddenly fell silent.

Xiao Jian picked up the cup and drank a sip of sweet cream, and suddenly remembered something: "How are the results of your rune research? Are there any new discoveries?"

"There are no new discoveries, but a lot of old rules have been summarized." Shao Youxian smiled slightly and began to explain his research results to Xiao Jian.

From the impact that the base material may have on the runes, to the different combinations that can be presented by different rune arrangements, sizes, and directions...

The total number of runes is 33, and considering the different directions of the runes, there are a total of 33x4=132 different individual runes...

"So if you want to calculate the number of different arrangements it has, you need to calculate the sum of all the combinations from C(132, 1) to C(132, 132), and substitute it into the formula to get 2^1321... This is a very large number, so it is unrealistic to use exhaustive methods to get all the arrangements and combinations."

"In this way, we need to summarize the rules through the existing arrangements and combinations and establish a deep learning model..."

"By verifying the results and adding weight parameters, we can get..."

"..."

Gradually, Xiao Jian couldn't understand again.

Anyway, in a nutshell, in a nutshell...In the end, it was the graphics card and Shao Youxian's hair that took on everything.

It was getting late, the charcoal fire in the stove had gone out, and the water cups in the hands of the two had long been cold.

After the two of them said good night to each other, they yawned and went back to their rooms to rest.

Suddenly, the whole courtyard fell into silence again...

Only the occasional "Maka Baka" sound came faintly from a corner.

...

"Ah ah oh..."

The next morning, just as Xiao Jian was stretching his limbs energetically, he suddenly found Da Huang yawning and passing by him.

"Why are you so tired?" Xiao Jian grabbed the fat cat by the back of the neck and lifted it up and asked.

"... Meow?"

Da Huang was stunned for a while, then patted his two paws up and down...

The more Xiao Jian watched its action, the more strange it felt, until it sang the whole song:

"Meow, meow, meow..."

Although Da Huang couldn't make the sound that could only be made with the lips due to its physiological characteristics...but this didn't prevent Xiao Jian from understanding the rhythm.

"You...you actually watched Maka Baka all night!?" Xiao Jian widened his eyes.

"Meow!"

Da Huang patted his chest, as if he was very proud, and he almost gave a thumbs up.

"..."

Xiao Jian put the cat down, and it stretched itself, then slowly climbed upstairs.

It looked like it was going to "eat breakfast" at Xiangyanghua's place.

However, Xiao Jian looked at its fat back in thought.

"Hmm..."

"Should we have an anti-addiction system... Dahuang is only a few months old, so it should be considered a child, right?"

"Besides, it has been too idle recently, so we need to find something for it to do... Even if it learns to read, it would be good."

Xiao Jian muttered to himself.

At this time, Dahuang didn't know that its nightmare was about to come.

Just as Xiao Jian was thinking about giving Dahuang some strength, on the other hand...

...

Dragon Skull City.

The blood-red floating island was slowly lowering its altitude.

The acting chief priest stood on the high altar, looking down at the team below that was getting ready to go.

The strong wind blew the clothes of the green-skinned fanatics...

Their eyes were firm and fanatical, and they were burly and muscular. Like a statue carved out of an ancient rock, tough and rugged.

The fanatics wore rough animal skins, with all kinds of primitive weapons hanging around their waists - stone axes, hatchets, and the bleeding totems on the faces of every greenskin.

That was their faith.

It was also their glory.

Perhaps it was the blessing of faith that made the morale of all the greenskins extremely high.

Although they were not even warriors, and did not even have 1 point of attack power...

Although in some cases the chief priest had the ability to mobilize all soldiers except the dragon riders.

However, the once powerful chief priest was dead after all, and now the acting chief priest who had not even been appointed by the emperor obviously did not have the power to directly command the army beyond the imperial power.

But even so, even if it was to organize ordinary cannon fodder... the acting chief priest still insisted on launching a war in person at this inappropriate time.

"..."

The Tin Man stood silently behind the acting priest, watching the figure with a changed personality.

Although the war was originally the acting priest's plan...

However, the previous plan was so sophisticated, and now it seems so rough and hasty!

If the acting priest was still conscious, this should not have happened.

Although the acting priest did not show any madness at this time, his eyes had both firm faith and sufficient clarity.

However, as the successor of the priest... he should not have such a devout faith.

All this confused the Tin Man in heavy armor.

On the altar, the acting high priest was giving a speech to the fanatics below:

"Warriors! Today we are going out not only for glory, but also for faith! The enemies ahead are just the test on our road of faith. God will lead us forward! Every time you wield a weapon, it is a testimony of your faith!"

"Remember, we are invincible! Go forward bravely and let the enemy tremble under the power of our faith! Warriors! Stand shoulder to shoulder with me and forge a new legend with blood!"

"For faith, for glory waaagh!"

As the acting high priest spoke, his speech was like a torch, igniting the solemn atmosphere...

"WAAAAAGH!"

The greenskin fanatics shouted loudly!

Then, the dense greenskin fanatics began to move towards the edge of the fog.

In the distance, several dragons were cruising in the sky, observing the situation here from afar.

Obviously, the emperor also knew about the church's actions...

After all, the acting high priest had asked the emperor for command before, but was rejected.

However, even the emperor did not expect that the acting high priest would act so quickly. In just one day, such a large number of fanatic cannon fodder were organized.

"Look! These are our warriors! They will tear the enemy to pieces! I promise!"

The acting high priest said with high spirits, as if he had completely forgotten everything before.

The tin can standing behind the acting high priest frowned, and couldn't help but recall the conversation between him and the acting high priest:

"... Our strength is the weakest, so we can only act as a trigger. The main force in the early stage is still the dragon rider and its descended body."

"Wait until the dragon rider and the descended body are almost consumed, and then we will instigate Him to participate in the war in person."

"If everything goes well, then after the war of gods, not only will the imperial power be restricted, we can even get rid of His constraints..."

"At that time, I will let everyone know that only our church is the most suitable leader!"

"..."

The words are still ringing in my ears, but today's acting high priest is no longer the same person as yesterday.

However, the tin can is just a slave and has no right to make suggestions.

He could only stand silently behind the acting high priest, watching helplessly as a divine war that would cost the entire Dragon Skull Clan its life was about to begin...

"..."
