Because of the presence of the White Beard's fleet, Naxxramas and the fleet slowed down their journey. They only returned to the Holy City after three days.
Returning at night did not alarm too many people. Lin Xi named the Steel Sea Dragon "Pokémon" and kept it at the port to accompany the White Beard Pirates. Then he stopped the Naxxramas in the sky above the City Hall of Shen City.
He had rested well for the past three days, but there were still many things to do.
Dealing with the aftermath.
Lin Xi gathered Huang Bo, the deputy mayor, and the other city managers together overnight. In fact, these people couldn't sleep every night. Now that the people who left finally came back alive, they were relieved. If they didn't come back, then it would be the Japanese.
After briefly explaining the process of attacking the Marine Headquarters, Lin Xi issued orders to Huang Bo and the others.
If possible, he didn't want to manage things and just wanted to retreat as soon as possible. But as the mayor, he couldn't be lazy. Now that he was back in Shen City, what was the most important thing? Of course, it was the compensation for the families of the dead posthumans and people who changed jobs.
Shen City, including the Three Kingdoms City, followed Lin Xi to attack the Marine Headquarters. There were dozens of posthumans and some warriors, mages and priests who survived from the Legendary City.
The original number was more than 60. Now there were only 30 left. Half of them died.
Chen Taiyue was a loner. He didn't have a wife or children. But the others who died did. Lin Xi couldn't let the families of the dead be disappointed. He said to Huang Bo and the officials in charge of internal affairs, "The families of the dead can't be lowered."
Whether it was the families of the posthumans or people who changed jobs, as the privileged class, the standard of living was not low. After all, there was no shortage of food in the Holy City.
"In addition, the families of the dead will be given two places to change jobs. Knight, Dragon Knight, Griffin Knight … If the quality of the person is not up to the standard and cannot change jobs, then change to a warrior or an archer. In addition, compensation will be given in terms of treasures."
Shen City was the Holy City. In addition to changing jobs, the city also had another function, which was to exchange treasures.
For example, the Elemental Ring and the golden feather in Lin Xi's hands were treasures. Of course, the treasures that could be exchanged for now were only mid-grade treasures. There were no high-grade treasures, and there were no saint artifacts — the golden feather was a saint artifact.
"Yes."
After agreeing, Huang Bo asked, "What about the evolved humans who survived?"
"Apart from compensating the families of the deceased, there will naturally be rewards for the living as well."
Lin Xi pondered. Originally, he wanted to give everyone 50,000 points, but 30 evolvers had given up. Plus, he also needed points, so he did not insist. However, as the City Lord of a special city, he could compensate them in other ways.
"Are the tavern mercenaries enough to hire?"
The officer in charge of recruitment for the tavern hurriedly replied, "I'm sorry … It takes half a month for the tavern's heroes to respawn, and the resources required to hire them are too high. It's too difficult to satisfy the recruitment of 30 people, and the city's army needs heroes as generals."
A flock led by a lion was completely different from an ordinary flock.
"Then …"
Lin Xi thought for a while, then used 30,000 points to exchange for 30 pokeballs. "The monster nest in Naxxramas produces an average of one Frost Dragon every two days. I'll give each of the 30 evolvers a Frost Dragon as a pet."
Frost Dragons only obeyed the Lich King, but if they were subdued with pokeballs, they would become pets — this allowed Ally to wear the Ice Crown armor and use the Demon Sword Frostmourne in conjunction with her authority.
A Frost Dragon was worth about 100,000 points. The officer in charge of the city's stables, Griffon Towers, and stables said awkwardly, "Isn't this a loss of the city's strength?" Another officer beside him immediately said, "Are you stupid? These people aren't the evolved humans of Shen City? The meat is still rotting in the pot. "
"City Lord, should we compensate the reinforcements from the other cities?" Huang Bo asked hesitantly.
"Zhu Wanying, Chu Bawang, Ye Miaomiao, Li Jianren, Leng Qinghong, these super strong people don't care about ordinary items … Moreover, almost all of them owe me a favor. They once rescued the imperial capital, and in the future, they will help Shu Mountain City fight against the Blood Demons.
"As for Chu Bawang and Ye Miaomiao, they owe me a favor. Wang Ningning and Zheng Tai owe me a favor for rescuing Shen City, and Lanluo owes me a favor for rescuing Jinling."
It was easy to return money, but difficult to return favors. Lin Xi was not a calculative person, but he also did not like to owe others favors. After thinking about it, he felt slightly relieved.
But two of the people who went to rescue him did not owe him a favor, and yet they died in Japan.
"Ning Yue and Jiang Han …"
Lin Xi's identity was the City Lord of Saint City. Although this was a battle of destiny between Japan and China, it was nominally to rescue Wang Ningning. Other people came to help. Every special city had sent super strong people.
Ning Yue represented Martial Arts City, and Jiang Han represented Dream City.
As the City Lord, he had to give these two major cities an explanation.
"The value of a super strong person cannot be measured by points. Ning Yue is one of the top five strongest people in Martial Arts City. Jiang Han … Although he is not a super strong person who is good at fighting, but he has a large range of life recovery and support spells … Dream City will be heartbroken."
The war with the Marine Headquarters is a king against a king, a general against a general, and the decisive one is Lin Xi, but each super strong person has an important role. Perhaps, releasing a super strong person will have a profound impact on the entire war situation.
If it was not for Ning Yue, who entangled Yamamoto for a while, if the Martial God attacked ordinary Evolvers or pirates, how many could he have killed?
If it was not for Jiang Han's several large-scale Heavenly Rains, the White Beard Pirates might have been annihilated. Without his buff, the Beast Squad, Wang Wei, Zhen Tian, and Demacia would definitely have died. Except for Many And Many, none of the 30 Evolvers would have survived.
This was a huge favor!
Lin Xi could find a way to return the favor in the future, but now, he could not do nothing to the two special cities.
Otherwise, the other party would definitely resent him, and he would also have a knot in his heart.
"It is difficult to make up for the value of a super strong person …"
Even if he exchanged 1.8 million for Tornado, his combat power far exceeded Jiang Han's, could he compare to Jiang Han? No, because Evolvers have unlimited potential.
The compensation from the Marine Headquarters, White Saber and Black Saber, of course, Lin Xi can't give these two unconscious vegetative people to Martial Arts City and Dream City. If he did that, the officials of the two major cities would probably be happy.
In Lin Xi's view, even mercenaries, even if they became vegetative, they still had personality and self-respect.
Besides, the two Artoria bodies, he still needed to study the connection between the soul and information.
The other compensation from the Japanese side, whether it was Pandora's Box or the Black Three Stars, could not compare to the value of a super strong person. Lin Xi frowned, thought for a while, and decided to take out some of his own things to compensate the two special cities.
In terms of wealth, Lin Xi estimated that no one in China could surpass him.
After all, the two people who practiced "Book of the Chaos" and "Supreme Grand Luo Tian" were super strong people among super strong people. They would not run around like him, kill countless BOSSes, participate in many wars, and obtain a lot of items and equipment.
He had a lot of good things: "Mountain River Map" and "Gigantic Combat Instrument," which were worth 5 million and 3 million respectively.
But first, Lin Xi was not a fool. Second, the people were already dead, and the compensation would benefit other people in the city.
Eye of Sargeras … Golden Feather … Imperial Jade Seal … Heaven and Earth Yellow Exquisite Pagoda … Earth Emperor's Pearl … Dark Female Pearl … Illusory God Card … Rainbow Lotus … Magic Stone Shiva … Triangular Divine Power … Divine Armor … Datura Formation …
Lin Xi thought to himself. He wasn't a stingy person, or else he wouldn't have gifted the 'Nine Cauldrons', nine extremely precious magical treasures — if the evolutionary base sold them, each one might be worth a million, nine of them worth nine million — to Daoist White Brow.
However, he would never give them to others if he could use them.
Only when he was strong could he do more.
"The main style of the Martial Arts City is martial arts, while the Dream City is a special cultivation city … Are there ghost cultivators in the Dream City?"
Lin Xi was not familiar with the city. One of Huang Bo's intelligence officers quickly said, "Yes! The Dream City has the inheritance of the Underworld Sect! "
"Then … are there devil cultivators?"
"Yes! The Demon King Stronghold! "
"Hmm …"
Lin Xi thought for a moment and then made a decision. "I'll give the Black Sutra of the Dead and the Nine Sons and Mother Yin Soul Swords as compensation for the death of a super expert in the Dream City. As for the Martial Arts City … I'll take the Tai-Ah Sword and the Five Poisons Sword."
The Black Sutra of the Dead could only be used by ghost cultivators, and it recorded ten calamity-level spells. There should be experts in the Dream City who could make use of this sutra. The Five Poisons Sword was a supreme-grade flying sword, and the Nine Sons and Mother Yin Soul Swords were even more vicious.
How could the flying sword refined by the Green Robe Patriarch be ordinary? In order to restrain the Five Poisons Sword, the White Brow Daoist specially refined the Seven Cultivators Sword, not to mention the even more powerful Nine Sons and Mother Yin Soul Swords.
These three treasures were originally given to Dongfang Xiaoqian, but since the female ghost was dead, it was useless to keep them. The same was true for the Tai-Ah Sword. This sword was the Legalist sword of Qin Shi Huang, and it was a precious weapon against people! It had the supreme prestige of the Legalists, but Shirai Kuroko had no use for it.
"In addition, I learned from Sakra in the Naxxramas graveyard that damaged puppets can be repaired by these necromancers. Furthermore, with the Twelve Great Gold Men as the foundation, they can set up the Twelve Elemental Formation, which is not inferior to the Five Elements Defense Formation in Jinling."
"I plan to use the Xuan-Yuan Sword to exchange for the Twelve Gold Men and Tong Hu."
The Xuan-Yuan Sword was the totem of China, but Shirai Kuroko's avatar had a deeper understanding of the power of space, and the Stately Painting could unleash more and more power. In addition, he needed to refine the Dark Female Pearl … it was a waste to keep this weapon in his hands, and he didn't even use it in the battle against the Marine Headquarters.
Tong Hu gave the Taurus Saint Robe, and it would be a pity to let him go.
Having an elder at home was like having a treasure. White Beard taught Dong Qing and some evolvers how to use Haki. The old Supreme Kai once saved many people in Jinling. The Asian Venerable assisted in the research of the Super Mecha Man in the Academy of Science, and provided technical support for the integration of humans and machines.
Tong Hu could teach the evolvers a small universe. Even if only one or two people developed it, it would still be good.
The Sacred Hall City was built very late, and its level wasn't high. Even if it was upgraded to the highest level, it wouldn't have the Five Elemental Defense Formation that made Lin Xi jealous like Jinling. Now that Sakra and those necromancers could use the Twelve Gold Men to set up the Twelve Elemental Formation, how could he give it up?
Compared to the Gold Men and Tong Hu, the Xuan-Yuan Sword was precious, but it was more of a symbol. Shirai Kuroko had the Stately Painting, the Great Cutting Technique, the Great Collapse Technique, the Great Devouring Technique, and other magical powers, and he also needed to refine the Dark Female Pearl. It was a waste of resources to keep the Xuan-Yuan Sword in his hands.
Furthermore, the Xuan-Yuan Sword required the identity of a Human Sovereign to unleash its greatest power.
Other than Shirai Kuroko, no one else could use the Xuan-Yuan Sword in this city. After all, the Imperial City had the status of a legitimate city. It was the place where the Dragon Qi gathered. Just by looking at the totem yellow dragon hovering above the city, it was impossible for the city to not have any evolvers that could unleash the power of the Xuan-Yuan Sword.
In reality, Zhu Wanying could do it — she had the temperament of an Empress. In Lin Xi's heart, he was prepared to let Zhu Wanying bring the Xuan-Yuan Sword to the Imperial City and exchange it. After that, he would let her hide the sword — he didn't want the Xuan-Yuan Sword to be used by the likes of Long Aotian, Zhao Ritian, and Yap Liangchen.
"In the next few days, erect a monument for Chen Taiyue and the others who died, and organize commemorative activities. Although they are dead, these are meaningless. At the very least, we can let others remember these people who sacrificed themselves." Lin Xi sighed.
He issued orders to the officials that night. At this time, Wang Ningning brought Zheng Tai and You Youzi to bid farewell — she had been away for a month after being captured by Goethe. She missed her home, Shen City, very much.
"Are you in a hurry to leave now?"
Lin Xi urged her to stay. "Why don't you rest in the Sacred Hall for a few days?"
"I have already rested for three days in the Naxxramas Graveyard. I have to go back now."
"Okay …"
Lin Xi thought for a while, then took out some weapons from his inventory.
"These are for you."
Wang Ningning's loss was undoubtedly huge. Originally, she was one of the strongest in the whole of China. But now, she had lost the Seven Deadly Sins, which meant that she had lost the possibility of igniting the Godly Fire and condensing the "Sin" Dao Fruit. At the same time, her bloodline had also dropped.
Her mercenary, You Youzi, had lost the West Demon Sakura that she had obtained in Hokkaido.
"This … Thank you, I will accept it."
Wang Ningning didn't stand on ceremony with Lin Xi. Her weapon, the Scythe of the Lord of Death, had already been destroyed. Normal weapons were meaningless to her. Those top-tier weapons in anime and manga, even divine weapons, were too expensive. The Black Sword, Expounder, White Sword, Dark Chaser, and the Black and White Spears, Ebony and Ivory, could be used as a transition.
She carried the Black and White Swords on her back and held a spear in each hand. After trying it out a few times, Wang Ningning felt that it was very convenient. Maybe if she could use Glory City's demonic technology to enchant these four weapons, she wouldn't need to think about accumulating points to exchange for divine weapons.
As a Northeastern girl with a carefree personality, Wang Ningning didn't say any nonsense. She looked deeply at Lin Xi, then left with You Youzi and Zheng Tai.
Next, the city held a memorial, and the construction of the monument began. The powerful warriors of the other cities bid farewell one by one. Lin Xi let Zhu Wanying take the Xuan Yuan Sword. At the same time, he sent Su Hongying to Dream City with the Undead Dark Scripture and Jiuzi Yin Spirit Swords.
Before Doomsday, Su Hongying really liked to play Fantasy Journey to the West, so she wanted to go and have a look.
Li Qi wanted to go to Martial City, so he brought the Five Poisons Sword and Taia Sword.
Four days later, something big happened.
