Although Mayor Kelly and his dozens of supporters were very conflicted and even disgusted with Bai Xiaowen, they had no way of driving Bai Xiaowen out.
This was because they did not have the support of the militia.
From this, it could be seen that the real power in Wutu Town was actually Helbart. It was just that this old man did not notice this.
Of course, this was not accurate. Helbart's influence came from the militia of Wutu Town that he had trained. These militia admired Helbart's character and reputation, which was why they obeyed his orders.
If Helbart did something wrong and did something that seriously deviated from the values of the militia, these people would abandon him.
…
Wutu Town's militia training ground.
"I heard that Lord Christos came here from another dimension?"
"Yes."
"Then what's the world you came from like?" Helbart asked.
Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment and said, "It's also a world that values power, but it's not as dangerous as this world. There aren't as many demons."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said, "If you're willing, I can take you to my world and leave your current lives."
Helbart shook his head and said, "No. There have been outsiders from other worlds who have tried before, but they all failed. It's said that because of our special constitution, we can't pass through the barrier of the plane world. "
[There's such a thing?]
Bai Xiaowen's eyes narrowed slightly. "Can you let me try? I need you to be willing to join me. "
In fact, Helbart wasn't very sure.
He said, "I'm old and have lived here my whole life. Even if I die, I want to die in Wutu Town. I don't want to leave … Ask a few of them if they want to go. They can help you with this experiment."
The humans of the Dark Age were very tired of this world, and Helbart was an exception.
Bai Xiaowen asked a little, and a militia stepped forward and was willing to be the test subject.
Bai Xiaowen tried to pay Spirit Crystals to teleport this militia to his territory and become a member of his territory.
However, during this process, the spirit world's laws sent a notification.
[Detected Demon Blood in the target's body. It contains a strong chaotic aura.]
"You need to pay an additional 500 Spirit Crystals to remove the chaotic aura in the target's body to complete the recruitment."
[Warning: Removing the aura of chaos will cause the target creature's strength to decrease greatly!]
"Do you agree?"
Bai Xiaowen was speechless and could only choose no.
Normally, it would only cost 170 Spiritual Crystals to recruit a Level 17 Elite.
As a result, the humans of the Dark Age had to spend an additional 500 Spirit Crystals to recruit them. The total cost was 670 Spirit Crystals, which was almost four times the price.
If that was all there was to it, it would be fine. After being recruited, their strength would be greatly reduced, and that would be the real problem. Looking at the way the rules of the Spirit Realm described it, it was probably not as simple as a drop in the template.
Then there was another problem.
If the "aura of chaos" was so troublesome to deal with that it required an exorbitant price to remove, then how did Mengchuan manage to recruit so many demons?
Or is it that only humans of the Dark Age need to clean up the aura of Chaos when they are recruited, but demons don't?
Bai Xiaowen could not find an answer, so he could only put this question aside for the time being.
Seeing Bai Xiaowen's experiment "fail," Helbart was actually a little depressed. However, he turned around and comforted Bai Xiaowen, saying, "It's okay. There have been outsiders who tried it before, but it didn't work. We're already mentally prepared."
Bai Xiaowen nodded silently. He did not tell Helbart the truth.
Helbart was in high spirits. "Lord Christos, let me show you the uniqueness of the native humans. Lorenzo, come over here! "
A young militia with a strong build took a step forward. He had the aura of a Rare Elite, and could be considered a strong person in Wu Tu Town.
"Let's begin," Helbart said.
Lorenzo nodded and suddenly let out a wild howl. The blood vessels on the surface of his body suddenly burst, and his veins were exposed. Green magic patterns spread across the surface of his skin, and at the same time, Lorenzo's eyes became blood-red.
Bai Xiaowen let out a soft cry of surprise. At this moment, Lorenzo's strength had actually experienced a surge, and his Spiritual Energy Value had increased by 50%!
This was a terrifying increase. From a Rare Elite Spiritual Energy Value, it had risen to a level where it could compete with a leader, or even a Rare leader.
Of course, the increase in his basic attributes was relatively small, only increasing by 20%.
Lorenzo threw his hardwood spear at the target in front of him. With a swoosh, the hardwood spear was deeply embedded in the mountain wall, and a deep hole was blasted in the rock.
Helbart introduced, "Lord Christos, this is the ultimate skill of the native humans. We call it 'Devil's Outburst'! According to the late Erasmus, the humans here have been under the influence of evil energy for a long time. From the root of our bloodline, there has been a mutation, and we have a part of the Devil's Blood. After conscious training, we can stimulate the power of the Devil's Blood, and gain additional strength in a short period of time. "
After Lorenzo finished his demonstration, he deactivated the Devil's Outburst state. However, there were still traces of blood under his eyes, and it was somewhat terrifying.
"Then, Instructor Helbart, what is the price?"
Bai Xiaowen did not believe that there was power in the world that could be obtained without any price.
Helbart's expression was slightly gloomy. "The duration of the Devil's Outburst is limited. If you forcefully maintain it, the best outcome is to explode and die. The truly terrifying thing is to be completely corroded by the Devil's Blood and become a fallen one. For example … "
At this point, Helbart glanced at Witch Kelowan, who had been silent all this while.
Bai Xiaowen understood and did not continue.
Instead, it was Witch Kelowan who said frankly, "For example, my father, Captain Ebin Freval."
Helbart sighed.
Witch Kelowan turned to Bai Xiaowen. "Lord Christos, you have already shown us your ability by killing the Devil Lord. Next, we request for you to lend us a helping hand and help us kill the Calamity Demon King entrenched here and remove the blockade he set up! "
Hearing Kelowan's first few sentences, Bai Xiaowen already felt that something was wrong. As expected, the conversation jumped to "Calamity Demon King"!
A prompt from the Spiritual Realm's laws came at the right time.
"Step II of the Demigod Continuous Side Mission: [The End of Calamity] activated.
[Mission Objective: Completely eliminate the Calamity Demon King.]
[Mission Difficulty: B]
[Mission Duration: None (equivalent to the remaining time you stay in the Dark Age Plane)]
"Mission Reward: 2,000 Spiritual Crystals.
[Do you accept?]
