"Steel Armor, there seems to be something wrong with the Omni King."
The six-eared macaque's eyes glowed with golden light, and his [Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes] saw the Omnipotent King's body clearly. He said to the steel armor in a deep voice: "I found that his power is fading rapidly."
Steel Armor was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "It's the master, he must have successfully captured Brainstorm!"
On the opposite side, the Omnipotent King also noticed the changes in his body. His expression suddenly changed, and he looked at his hands in fear.
"What's going on? My power...is disappearing!"
He couldn't understand, what happened in just a few minutes?
Suddenly he realized something and shouted: "Brainstorm! Where are you?"
At this time, a faint voice came from the opposite side.
"No need to shout, he has become my follower."
Zhang Ze slowly walked down the stairs on the second floor with Brainstorm and Kelte. He said coldly: "Almighty King, you can't run away this time."
"Who are you? What did you do to Brainstorm?"
The Omnipotent King looked at Zhang Ze in surprise. He was a clone, just like a blank sheet of paper, without any memory of Zhang Ze.
"I am your future master."
After that, Zhang Ze ordered the steel armor and the six-eared macaque: "Deal with him!"
"yes!"
The two of them pounced on the Almighty King at the same time.
The Omnipotent King used his remaining strength to fight against them, but he was no match for them. He was beaten back and forth, and his body was stained.
Zhang Ze asked loudly from behind: "Omnipotent King, tell me, where is the lightning hidden?"
Celtic's poison has spread throughout the Hero City, and the Brainstorm and Invisible Man who were hiding have "returned", except for one Lightning.
Zhang Ze was very puzzled, wondering where this guy was hiding.
"I...will never betray Daddy Lightning!"
The Omnipotent King let out an angry roar and shot out two red rays of light from his eyes, trying to kill Zhang Ze with his last strength.
Zhang Ze easily avoided it and watched calmly as the steel armor used the laser knife to pierce the heart of the Almighty King.
"The Omnipotent King has also arrived." Opening the summoning space, Zhang Ze saw the Omnipotent King.
He curled his lips and muttered: "This lightning is too cunning. I let him escape last time, but I didn't catch him this time."
Checking the time, he gave up the idea of continuing to look for Lightning: "Twenty hours have passed and I have wasted too much time. He is lucky today. I will definitely catch him next time!"
Afterwards, he left here with a group of followers and returned to the 43rd level of the Demon Realm.
When they arrived at the flight station, the station manager saw Zhang Ze and urged anxiously: "Oh my Lord Consul, what have you been doing? The Queen has sent people to ask several times, have you ever gone to take office in the territory..."
"Sorry to bother you, I'll leave now." Zhang Ze smiled, got on the flying beast, and left the capital to head for his territory.
Flying in the sky, Zhang Ze was bored and looked down at the ground.
Although the place names in this world sound strange and unusual, the topography is no different from that of Blue Star.
Green mountains, green waters, jungles, swamps, mountains and river valleys, the scenery is quite pleasant.
"Is that...the amethyst that Queen Louise mentioned?"
Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and found a huge purple crystal that was as tall as a person standing next to a river bed.
Figures of people kept flashing around the crystal. If I guessed correctly, they should be those players.
Because the distance was too far, Zhang Ze couldn't see the appearance of the players, but they must be similar to adventurers like them.
After several hours of flying, Zhang Ze’s territory, the Misery Wasteland, arrived.
The flying beast put Zhang Ze down, screamed a few times, and then returned to the capital.
Zhang Ze looked at a dilapidated small town not far away and shook his head slightly: "Compared with the capital, this place is too backward."
"Well, when I arrive in the small town, I will first go to the local consul's residence to confirm my identity, and then hand over the work..."
Suddenly, he saw a family of three demons running toward him in panic, with four or five people chasing them behind them.
Zhang Ze discovered that the four or five people were not demons, but humans. Looking at the names above their heads, he understood clearly.
"It's a player! Looking at the weapons and equipment, it looks like there are two male warriors, a male mage and a female priest."
"Well, it's been a long time since I competed with a player." Zhang Ze smiled slightly, a long bow appeared out of thin air in his hand, and said to himself: "I've had a lot of fun today."
…
"Mage, use magic, people will run away after a while!"
A warrior named "Yao Ling Ling Yao Ling" who was chasing after him turned around and shouted.
The mage's name was "Make Money and Get a Wife". He shook his head helplessly: "The magic value has been used up and it hasn't been restored yet. Wait a moment!"
"Damn it! You don't know how to drink a bottle of medicine?" Another soldier said, "I don't want to move," he put his forehead in his hand and complained.
Making money and marrying a wife is justifiable: "A bottle of potion costs 3 gold coins, which is too expensive. As long as I hold on for 30 seconds, my magic value will be full, and it won't delay things."
The two warriors were speechless. The wooden man said with an "I'm convinced" expression: "It's only 3 gold coins. You can get gold coins by killing a few monsters. Do you need to be so economical?"
The female pastor named "It's time for Da Lang to take medicine" laughed and said: "You should know how stingy this person is by looking at his name."
The wife who made money to get a wife retorted and said, "Does your name sound nice? Murder your own husband!"
The four people chased while talking. For them, killing a few civilians of the demon clan was the most cost-effective.
Because the difficulty is not high and the benefits are acceptable, it is much stronger than attacking monsters in the wild, so now players generally like to kill civilians.
"The magic points are full!" The wife who made money to marry raised her staff and shouted: "I will burn the man to death first, and hand over the remaining women and children to..."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly blurred!
Poof, an arrow shot through his throat accurately!
-26477! (Rakshasa) (vital)
The wife who made money to marry was killed on the spot, and the other three were stunned.
"What's going on? Someone is attacking us?"
"It's an archer, right? Damn, which team is it from?"
"You two hurry up and protect me!"
The three of them were in a mess. At this time, they saw a figure walking in the distance. The man was holding a bow and arrow and slowly shot an arrow at them.
-25602! (Rakshasa) (vital)
The wooden man didn't want to move and was shot in the forehead, killing him in battle!
-8489! (Rakshasa)
The demon spirit was shot in the stomach, and its health dropped to 12%.
"Give me some blood back quickly!" The demon spirit anxiously asked the female priest for help.
Although death can be resurrected, experience, equipment and gold coins will be dropped. He does not want to die.
Seeing that the female priest kept restoring blood to the demon spirit, Zhang Ze did not stop him, but as long as the opponent's blood volume exceeded 90%, he would shoot it with an arrow to let the opponent regain his health.
Helpless, the female priest could only continue to replenish blood.
As a result, she used up all her magic points, and the blood volume of the demon spirit was never full.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Demon Spirit Spirit turned around and ran away, but was shot in the butt by Zhang Ze with an arrow.
-10907! (Rakshasa)
The demon spirit demon spirit died in battle.
The female pastor was scared. She wanted to run away, but Zhang Ze stopped her. She asked with a look of horror on her face: "You, who are you?"
"You have killed so many demons, haven't you realized that I am a demon?" Zhang Ze shrugged and said with a smile.
The female priest didn't believe it: "Impossible, I have never seen a demon as strong as you. Could it be that... you are the BOSS?!"
"BOSS?" Zhang Ze raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Whatever you think, don't kill innocent people next time!"
After saying that, he shot the female priest to death with an arrow and sent her back to the resurrection point for free.
"Dad, that big brother killed all the bad guys!"
Not far away, a family of three demons looked at Zhang Ze in shock. The little girl held the man's hand and said, "Big brother is so awesome!"
The couple looked at each other and walked quickly towards Zhang Ze.
"Thank you, warrior, for saving our family!"
The demon man saluted Zhang Ze respectfully and asked, "I haven't seen you near the Misery Wilderness. May I ask, where are you from?"
"I was appointed by Queen Louise to serve as consul in the Misery Wilderness." Zhang Ze explained with a smile.
Who knew, when the couple heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Oh, it turns out he is the newly appointed Archon..." The demon man snorted, with a look of disgust on his face, and said, "Master Archon, we have something else to do, let's leave first."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhang Ze to speak, he took his wife and daughter and left quickly.
"What's happening here?"
Zhang Ze was stunned on the spot. The other party was very enthusiastic just now. Why did his attitude change immediately when he heard that he was a consul?
Shaking his head, Zhang Ze continued walking towards the small town.
Entering the small town, he felt more and more that the situation here was too miserable.
The civilians in the city live in dilapidated stone houses, and their clothes are patched. They all have sallow faces and thin eyes, and their numb expressions seem to have no nostalgia for this world.
To put it bluntly, it’s just living.
"The life of civilians here seems to be very difficult." Zhang Ze frowned and said secretly: "Is it because of the players? That they cannot live and work in peace and contentment?"
He walked up to an old woman and asked, "Mother-in-law, where is the consul's residence?"
The old woman didn't even look at Zhang Ze, she raised her skinny arm and pointed in one direction, and then she stopped talking.
"Um, thank you."
Zhang Ze nodded and looked in the direction, only to see an imposing three-story building appearing in front of him.
Although it cannot be compared with the royal palace in the capital, it stands out among the surrounding low-rise and dilapidated dwellings.
Two soldiers stood in front of the gate of the consul's residence. As soon as they saw Zhang Ze approaching, they immediately unsheathed their sabers and shouted: "No idlers should enter! Stay back!"
Zhang Ze revealed his identity, and the two soldiers immediately saluted respectfully: "Sir!"
Ignoring the two soldiers, Zhang Ze went straight into the mansion and was greeted by an old man in his fifties. He looked Zhang Ze up and down and asked, "Are you the newly appointed consul?"
"Yes." Zhang Ze nodded and handed the queen's letter of appointment to the other party.
The old man checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed the letter of appointment back to Zhang Ze with both hands, and said with a smile: "Lord Consul, I am your scribe, just call me Morgan. If you have any questions, you can ask me Ask me and I will tell you everything I know."
"Okay, let's hand over the work first..."
Zhang Ze looked around and asked, "Where is the former consul?"
"Uh...has been transferred." Old Morgan replied truthfully: "It happened last week."
Zhang Ze frowned and said displeasedly: "No one has been in charge of this place for a week? Aren't you afraid that those players will come in and kill people and set fire to it?"
Old Morgan sighed and said: "To be honest, even if the Archon stays here, he can't stop those terrible players."
Through Old Morgan's narration, Zhang Ze gradually gained some understanding of this place.
This small town is the only town in the Misery Wilderness. There were originally tens of thousands of residents, but after the players appeared, the number dropped sharply to more than 10,000. The rest of the people either fled or were killed.
The small town's defenders only have a few hundred people. They can't stop the player's attack. After several battles, the number of soldiers was greatly reduced, and now there are only less than 200 people left.
In this case, if the players attack the city, where can they stop it?
When the former consul saw that the situation was not good, he immediately cleared the situation, spent a large sum of money to obtain a transfer order, and ran away.
Of course, Old Morgan didn't say anything about this, but Zhang Ze's guess was pretty close.
Shaking his head, Zhang Ze felt that he had to do something for the people here. Just as he was about to start working, Old Morgan reminded: "Sir, on your first day after taking office, you should first visit the local nobles. This will be very important to you." It will be of great help to you when you are in power in the future.”
"Nobles?" Zhang Ze raised his eyebrows and asked, "I am a consul, shouldn't they come to see me?"
Old Morgan sneered and said: "Sir, you are new here and don't understand the situation here... Although you are a consul, the real rulers of the Misery Wilderness are the nobles!"
"What kind of noble? I don't care!" Zhang Ze snorted coldly and said: "I am different from the previous consuls. I am not here to make money and enjoy happiness. My duty is to defeat the players and save the people here."
He glanced at Old Morgan and said: "Go tell those nobles to be honest and don't cause trouble, otherwise I will be rude to them!"
After saying that, he walked into his office.
Old Morgan sighed slightly and said: "Too naive..."
In a mansion a few hundred meters away from the consul's residence, Viscount Cromwell had just had lunch. The servants poured the remaining food to the several red flame demon dogs raised by the viscount, while at the iron gate of the mansion Outside, many civilians who were about to starve to death were kneeling at the door begging for food.
"Lord Viscount, the newly appointed Consul has arrived at the mansion." A servant reported to Viscount Cromwell, and he said angrily: "However, he did not come to visit you as soon as possible. How bold and arrogant he is!"
Viscount Cromwell snorted and said: "It doesn't matter. I heard that he is a new recruit of the Queen. He has no background and no connections, so don't worry about him."
He leisurely fiddled with the gemstone ring on his finger and sneered: "When he realizes that he can't do anything without me, he will naturally come to see me, hahaha!"
