The artifacts of the heavens on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 42 Allard's Expedition
"Your friends are dying soon, want to save them?"

On the way to the intersection, Zhu Chengyuan suddenly heard a very magnetic and mellow voice.

The voice was neither male nor female, and it sounded familiar, but it was definitely not the voice of the comrades around him.

He looked around strangely, and found a phenomenon that made him feel horrified: everything and everything around him stopped at some point.

Zhao Changhe, Liu Shaohui, and the other four soldiers who escorted them all remained motionless in strange postures.

Captain Zhao Changhe raised his right foot in mid-air and never fell down, as if he was running;

Liu Shaohui opened his mouth halfway and waved his right hand, as if he was greeting everyone;
Several other soldiers either turned their heads to look around, or lowered their heads in thought, with different expressions, but they did not move at all.

"What's going on, who, who's talking?"

Zhu Chengyuan's question was quickly answered.

"I am an apostle from the continent of Arad, you can call me Master Rotes."

The magnetic voice paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Of course, you don't need to bring the honorific 'adult', after all, the name is only a code name, so don't take it too seriously.

In addition, you don't have to think about why other people are still for the moment. Think carefully about the question I just asked you. Do you want to save your friends? "

"We have found a way to deal with those alien monsters, how could they die?

Also, where is the continent of Arad, why have I never heard of it, and what are the apostles?
Mr. Roters, can you explain these problems first? "

Regarding the enemies from other worlds, the Academy of Sciences, Academy of Martial Arts, and various forces in the Great Xia Empire had their own guesses.

But because of the inability to communicate with the enemy, there is still no way to know the true identity of the enemy.

After the initial shock, Zhu Chengyuan was keenly aware that this conversation with the so-called "Lord Rotes" might be an opportunity to unravel everything.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, tried to talk to the other party, and then tried to get the enemy's intelligence.

At the moment, it seems that this cliché is a good idea, Lord Rotes doesn't seem to mind letting him know more.

"The continent of Arad is very, very far away from Xialu, separated by many, many parallel time and space.

It was originally a rich and beautiful place, where humans, elves, dark elves, and other races lived peacefully and happily.

Later, a terrible disaster occurred in the continent of Arad.

Tens of millions of brutal creatures called "players" invaded the continent of Arad, and they devoured the continent of Arad like locusts, torturing and abusing the peace-loving people of Arad day and night..."

"Is it like what you did to our Xia Lu?"

Zhu Chengyuan interrupted Mr. Roters with a sneer.

He felt that although those creatures called "players" were ferocious, the other Arad people might not all be peace-loving.

It must be just a self-beautifying statement that Mr. Roters said so.

"It's even more brutal. Those 'players' took advantage of the fact that the Arad people could not die completely, abused the Arad people again and again, and tried every means to squeeze the last ounce of value from the Arad people."

"Can't die completely? Can you people of Arad continue to be resurrected? How can such a good thing be a defect?"

Throughout the ages, the resurrection ability that many emperors and heroes have dreamed of has become an extremely hated defect in the eyes of the Arad people?
If the dead emperor heroes heard this statement, they would jump out of the coffin in anger, and they would have to fight Lord Rotes.

"Good thing?"

Master Rotes sneered, "Let me give you an inappropriate example. You will know whether it is a good thing or a nightmare after hearing it."

"You said."

"Take you as an example.

You were originally a kind and upright person, with many relatives and friends who were as peace-loving as you.

Suddenly one day, a group of robbers broke into your home, locked you and your relatives and friends, and then took away certain parts of your body again and again.

You have cried, resisted, and escaped, and you have tried countless times to end this endless nightmare by ending your life.

But it's useless, you can't die, your loved ones can't die, you can only watch each other continue to suffer and suffer from pain..."

"Stop talking." Zhu Chengyuan tremblingly interrupted the nightmare described in words by Lord Lotus.

He dared not continue to imagine whether he would go crazy if he really encountered that kind of nightmare.

"Have you ever had such a tragic experience?"

Zhu Chengyuan inexplicably sympathized with Mr. Rotes, although he himself knew that this kind of sympathy was very inappropriate.

"Alas..." Lord Rotes let out a long sigh, "Naturally, as one of the thirteen most powerful apostles in the Arad continent, it is only natural that he becomes the object of crazy pursuit by those greedy 'players'."

"You..." Zhu Chengyuan stopped after only one word. He didn't know how to evaluate Mr. Rotes and other people in the Arad continent.

After a long time of mental turmoil, he remembered the key question at the beginning.

"So, Mr. Rotus, when you first said that my friends are going to die, do you mean that those horrible 'players' are coming to slaughter them?"

Lord Rotes replied very frankly: "It is indeed possible, but before that, you and your friends must first be able to escape from the pursuit of us Arad people."

"what?!"

Zhu Chengyuan was very surprised and couldn't see Mr. Luo Tesi, but after searching all the way to no avail, he complained: "Why do you people from Arad hunt us down?"

Master Rotes replied naturally: "Of course it is for self-protection. We don't want to escape from the continent of Arad by hiding from the 'player'. How about learning from those 'players'?"

"What if?!" Zhu Chengyuan became very emotional, "Think clearly, are you going to kill us Daxia people just because of the slightest possibility?"

"If you Daxia people stand on the side of our Arad people, you will make the same choice. This is based on the fundamental survival interests, and it will not be changed by anyone's ideas."

Zhu Chengyuan is a little naive in the eyes of others, and often does things that others seem inexplicable.

However, he was not stupid, and quickly figured out the contradictory and reasonable logic in Mr. Roters' words, but he still couldn't figure out something.

"Then, this so-called powerful apostle, Mr. Rotes, why did you come to me and ask me if I wanted to save my friend?"

"Sure enough, I was not mistaken. You are a smart, kind and sacrificing young man."

Zhu Chengyuan sneered at Mr. Roters' compliment, "Don't talk nonsense, just tell your purpose."

"My purpose is very simple. Did you see that human-looking guy at the crossroads?"

"I see, why?"

Zhu Chengyuan turned his head to look at the mysterious master who was staring at his motionless hand a block away. He didn't understand why Lord Rotes suddenly turned the topic to him.

Human appearance?

Could it be that the mysterious master is not a human being, but also some kind of strange creature?
"That guy is actually not a real human being. He is one of the most powerful apostles in the continent of Arad just like me. I am the eighth apostle, Lord Rotes, and he is the ninth apostle, Lord Luke.

My purpose is very simple, to let you take your companions to kill him. "

"Ah?" Zhu Chengyuan was surprised again, "Lu, Lord Luke? Is he really an apostle as powerful as you?"

He glanced in the direction of the intersection again, but he couldn't tell that the guy who looked so embarrassed was also a powerful apostle.

"Of course not. He is not Lord Luke's real body, but one of the countless projections of Lord Luke. If he is the real body, I will not encourage you to kill him."

"Aren't you the same kind, why do you want us to kill him?
Also, aren't you a mighty apostle, why don't you do it yourself, instead try your best to encourage us?
Moreover, why do I have to obey your orders and do things for you, the invader? "

There are countless question marks in Zhu Chengyuan's mind, and these question marks are almost turning his head into a pot of porridge.

"First of all, I have to explain that the projection is completely different from the real body, and it is not qualified to be compared with me at all. Although what I am talking to you now is a sliver of my mind, it is enough to represent my real body.

Secondly, although we are of the same kind, although our Arad continent is facing a great crisis.

However, the practice of the apostles has something in common with the practice of warriors in your world, that is, you must have a clear mind.

Under the 'player', the common enemy of the continent of Arad, I also have a personal grudge with the ninth apostle Luke.

It’s fine if I don’t see it, now I found a projection of Master Luke, if I don’t make an effort to kill him, my mind will not be able to reach it, and it will affect my practice.

But my real body is too far away, there is no way to project power over, so I want to use your hands to kill him to fulfill my wish.

The last question, you have to understand that when you kill the projection of Lord Luke, you are not following my orders, but following your own inner guidance.

My agitation has a very limited effect, it just makes you think about something. "

Zhu Chengyuan shook his head and said stubbornly: "I won't listen to your sweet words."

"No, you will." Lord Rotes is very confident, "Through my explanation, you should already understand the so-called 'scourge of the abyss of another world', the truth is an expedition in the continent of Arad.

And this kind of expedition, because of the terrifying element of "player" behind it, will never stop in the future, and will only repeat it again and again.

Against such a background, don't you want to gain the power to protect your relatives and friends? "

"The power to protect loved ones? Of course I want it."

Zhu Chengyuan's eyes showed daze and confusion, "But, can you gain strength by killing him, can you gain strength by killing him?"

"Yes." There was a little bit of ecstasy in Lord Rotes' voice, "Kill him and take away his beast core, and you will immediately be qualified to practice, you will become a warrior, and you will gain the power to protect your loved ones .”

"Really?" Zhu Chengyuan stared blankly at "Lord Luke" in the distance, his eyes gradually regained clarity.
