"No —!"
When the main force of this battle arrived at the main battlefield in front of the cliff, Gary, who was wearing a heavy armor of steel scales, and William, who was also equipped with "Venom," had just broken the last evil alchemist's magic shield.
A group of 'Leatherskins', who had been eyeing the Magi covetously like monsters, swarmed forward and chopped the official Magi into pieces.
The final battle was over.
For a group of physical-type Transcendents, the highest priority in a battle with a wizard was to make him shut up forever. Especially since Elvin had given the order in advance, killing evil alchemists was the first and capturing them was the second.
"Dead Bones" Rudolph, who had been fighting side by side with them, did not follow them. He had quietly left at some point.
After the agreement was made, no matter how good Elvin and Anita's characters had always been, they were still very cautious.
As an old pirate and a wizard of the School of Necromancy, he did not want to put himself in danger of being surrounded by three powerful Transcendents and an army of Transcendents.
"Sir, there is only one Billy Buddha left among the Clockwork Servants. We have captured 25 wizard apprentices and 39 strange women of unknown races. The rest have all been killed except for those who slipped into the river with the redoubt. "
Seeing Elvin coming, Boris, who was covered in blood, trotted to Elvin and reported to him.
Other than the wizards of the School of Activation, Boris was probably one of the few people who were most concerned about this operation.
After all, it was related to the future of his son, Calvin. The more complete the inheritance of the School of Activation was, the more secure Calvin's future would be.
"Okay, Chief Mate, thank you for your hard work. Give out the order that all the participants will be rewarded with ten Gold Lions. The deceased will be compensated according to the standard standard, and the Transcendents will be given twice as much. "
Although most of them had today's strength because of the Dragon Knights, Elvin would not be stingy with the treatment they deserved.
"Yes, Sir!"
While his subordinates were cheering, Li Qiye's subordinates were cheering.
Elvin walked up to the last survivor of the Clockwork Servant, Billy Buddha, who was known as the strongest mercenary in the New World.
Although he knew that most of these Clockwork Servants were victims of evil experiments, he couldn't ask his soldiers to show mercy at the risk of dying.
After the battle, Billy Buddha, who was the strongest and most valuable, was the only one left.
This guy was the same as when he first met him. Only his head, most of his chest, and one of his arms were still made of human flesh. Most of his body tissues and organs, including his heart, had been replaced by machines.
However, his personality had obviously been "formatted", and he was like a cold killing machine. He no longer had the venomous tongue of the past, and he no longer had the professional ethics of strictly fulfilling the mercenary contract.
"Roar —!"
At this moment, his body was writhing on the ground as he let out beast-like roars. Even in the residual effects of the Insanity Potion, there was still only a strong desire to attack and destroy. The other emotions seemed to have been taken away by someone.
However.
One of his legs had been cut off by Olivia's beam cannon at the beginning. Later on, a group of Extraordinaires had seized the opportunity to disassemble him into parts. Now, no one could hurt him.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the red tome "Flesh Sacrifice" reappeared in front of Elvin.
* Rustle … *
As the pages of the tome flipped, a wave of green witchcraft light rose from the tome and sprinkled on his body. Then, like a phantom, it penetrated his brain.
Then, some black, dirty things that were made of tiny symbols, and it was hard to tell whether they were matter or energy, were washed out by this wave of water bit by bit.
[First Seat Authority: Modification Reset]
This was a magical power that could only be activated by the First Seat of the School, the mysterious source of the "Tree of Life", and the core magic tome "Flesh Sacrifice."
It had the highest modification priority. It could remove the traces of the School's modifications and restore the original appearance of the experimental subject. Similar to the "Undo" button when editing documents, the Moonlight Stone in Olivia's hand went out of control.
The witchcraft light that flowed through his brain like a wave of water became clear again.
Billy Buddha's eyes, which were as cold as a machine's, gradually regained a different kind of vigor. Finally, he fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up again, he would be a brand-new "Clockwork Man" belonging to the "School of Activation."
"Flesh Sacrifice" naturally had the highest authority over creatures modified with flesh and blood other than the Master. When the Master died or some other accident occurred, the First Seat would obtain the secondary command in the name of the School.
After he was repaired, he would definitely be a rare general.
At least, Elvin had returned Billy Buddha's self-awareness. He was no longer a cheap, numb, and ignorant tool. Instead, he was a tool with ideals, dignity, and salary. Congratulations, congratulations.
As for the twenty-five sorcerer-apprentices he captured.
With the systematic witchcraft knowledge of the "School of Mechanical Immortality" in the "Brass Key" and the brains of the three top sorcerers, the remaining sorcerer-apprentices were not of much use.
However, they could be used as industrial workers in the future territory's machinery manufacturing, ships, military, and other fields.
As long as each of them was implanted with a Strain Symbiote, there was no need to worry about them causing any trouble in the future. If they performed well in the future, it was not impossible for them to be truly introduced into the "School of Activation."
After solving the problem of the captives, Elvin had the time to look at the group of strange female creatures that looked like humans.
All of them looked young and beautiful. They had pointy ears and white hair. Their skin had a bluish-purple luster to it, and they had a different kind of charm. They were a bit like the Sea Fairy Race.
The most unique thing was that most of them had pupils of different colors. Gold, silver, amber, emerald, blue, brown, red, black … They were extremely magnificent.
They had already thrown away all the swords in their hands and crouched down with their hands covering their heads to avoid being strangled by the soldiers.
There were no traces of modification on their bodies, only a metal collar around their necks.
Elvin recognized it. It was the [Confinement Collar] with an explosive function. It was much more evil than the [Transcendent Shackles] often used by the navy. If they did not obey the master's orders, just a signal would blow their heads up into the sky.
However, the sensors in it had also failed in the [Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb] just now. Moreover, the higher-ups of the evil alchemists had all been wiped out, so these collars were all just decorations.
Click … Click …
Elvin gently waved his hand, and the [Spiritual Light of Activation] had directly destroyed all the non-transcendent structures in the collar, and the lock opened by itself and fell to the ground.
After the female creatures who had regained their freedom exclaimed in surprise, they huddled together and looked at Elvin who was walking over in fear.
Although they had escaped the clutches of the evil alchemists, after coming to the New World, they did not have much confidence in the creatures known as "humans".
"Who are you? How did you fall into the hands of these evil alchemists? "
Elvin tried to communicate with them in several secular languages that he knew, but to no avail. In the end, he switched to Spiritual Language and repeated the question again.
This time, there was finally a response.
After a while, it seemed that one of the "people" stepped forward and timidly replied in Spiritual Language.
"S … Sir, hello! We are a group of homeless Night Creatures from the Shattered Star Sea. My name is Sara. Thank you for saving us. "
The woman who replied was an official Transcendent. Her right eye was emerald, and her left eye was amber, which was particularly charming. Although she was the bravest of the group, she was still a little weak and looked very easy to bully.
"Night Creatures? Residents of the Shattered Star Sea to the west of the New World? "
Elvin was a little surprised. Even Cirus, who had the fastest exploration progress, had only reached the edge of the Shattered Star Sea. Other than knowing that there were many islands there, the human kingdoms knew very little about them.
Elvin was instantly excited that a race living there had come to the New World.
At this time, the two Wizards, Olivia and Milan, also came over. The appearance of the female Wizard, especially Olivia, made the "Night Creature" who called herself Sara gradually feel less restrained.
The few of them spoke one after another, and soon, they had a general understanding of their situation.
This was a group of losers from the survival competition game at the edge of the Shattered Star Sea. After the powerful backer they relied on was killed, they were also expelled from their homeland by other powerful races.
Sara's small group had coincidentally escaped to the New World. After several twists and turns, they finally fell into the hands of the evil alchemists and became the best test subjects.
In addition.
The proportion of Transcendents in this group of "Night Creatures" was really high, but their strength was also really weak.
They gave off the feeling that they had been specially molded. Among them, the strongest was even weaker than the weakest human official Knight, and was only slightly better than an apprentice Knight.
Moreover, their appearance looked a little like the extraordinary race of elves in myths and legends, but their personalities were somewhat similar to their other relatives with pointed ears — rabbits.
They really did not look like warriors.
Therefore, after a little investigation, Elvin found that the species of "Night Creatures" might not be a naturally evolved creature, but more likely, they were artificial servants of Wizards from long ago.
They naturally had a body that was resistant to witchcraft. Good and bad things would be greatly reduced on them. This was also why they were immune to most of the effects of the [Frenzy Potion].
What was more ironic was that a group of Mechanical Immortality School of Wizards were pursuing immortality, but the servants they captured were born with a naturally long life.
As Sara said, the natural lifespan of a Night Creature could reach 200 years. When they reached adulthood at 30 years old, they would naturally become Transcendents. There was only one Transcendent profession in the race, the [Sentinel]. The upper limit of their level was Tier 2, which was comparable to the "Leatherman" who had no potential.
The [Sentinel] had sharp senses and coordination, but did not have the corresponding physical fitness. They could only use long-range weapons. Of course, for them who lived in a primitive society, the only choice was bows and arrows.
After that, Elvin, Olivia, and Milan respectively detected them from their respective professions and came to a conclusion.
Elvin said, "A natural semi-transcendent species, a kind of artificial non-combat servant."
Olivia said, "The cat's eye stone emitted a clean white light. There's no malice, so there's still a good impression."
Milan said, "The crystal ball told me that there's no trouble with the Night Creatures. They're like duckweed, no one will care if they die."
The Night Creatures were speechless.
At this moment, Milan gently pulled Elvin to the side and nudged him with her shoulder. She smiled a little wretchedly.
"It seems that although they're from the 'Shattered Star Sea', there's no trouble taking them in. They're homeless!"
Elvin rolled his eyes at her and sneered.
"Oh? Do you want to provide a warm home for some of them? I think Princess Apsuya might have a different idea. "
Milan shrunk her neck and widened her eyes "innocently". "How can you accuse me? Am I that kind of person? "
Snap!
Elvin snapped his fingers and put his arm around Milan's shoulder. The smile on his face was even more … Ahem, ahem.
"That's great, my good brother. I knew I wasn't wrong about you. Leave this batch of pitiful 'Night Creatures' to me. It just so happens that the territory and the Wizard Tower are lacking people, so I'll use them to fill up the maid corps. "
Milan was speechless.
However, while the two were still discussing how to deal with them, Olivia had already made the first move. She clapped her hands.
"Well then, friends from afar, as the price for freeing you from the sea of suffering, how about you work for me in the future?"
The group of beautiful Night Creatures widened their magnificent eyes with heterochromatic pupils. Huh? Huh? Huh? Shouldn't this be the time to do favors without asking for anything in return?
Suddenly.
* Rumble … *
Among the group of Night Creature girls, someone's stomach suddenly growled. Then, as if it was contagious, the growls came one after another. It was as if everyone had a little frog in their arms.
She turned her head and saw the group of werewolves who had not yet recovered from their "fur transformation". Their green eyes were staring straight at her.
The group of homeless Night Creatures nodded decisively and bowed to the girl. "Master, please take care of us!"
Freedom was important, but food was more important!
.....
Time passed quietly.
When the moon was in the middle of the sky, the spiritual power of the day was at its strongest.
* Whoosh! *
A "Blasphemer" dressed in a grayish-white leather robe leaped onto the cliff.
Just as he was about to enter the High Cliff Castle as promised and hold the initiation ceremony for the selected "volunteers", his footsteps suddenly froze. All he saw was a collapsed mountain and a steep cliff.
He took off his hood and looked around. His greenish-black fingers could not help but scratch his bald head.
There was only confusion and self-doubt in his four eyes. "Who am I? Where am I? "
