Bang!
Behind the mage statue, the shadow that emerged suddenly shattered.
Tang Yu understood what this meant.
Every special inheritance's power was limited. The spirit stones and the profession statues he injected during the inheritance were only to ensure the smooth operation of the inheritance. Most of the power still came from the inheritance crystal itself.
For special inheritances such as the Demon Swordsman and Frost Mage, the power of each inheritance crystal could be consumed about three times. However, at this time, the shadow of the Frost Mage's inheritance didn't slowly fade away, but directly shattered.
It meant the power of the inheritance had been exhausted.
"No wonder, after Elaine received the inheritance, not only her strength skyrocketed, but she also came with a full set of high-level equipment."
He was extremely, extremely envious of her.
After the light of the mage statue faded, Elaine slowly floated down from the air. Her crystal shoes stepped on the wooden floor, and her fluttering hair gradually gathered.
Tang Yu was about to step forward, but he suddenly froze.
In front of him.
Elaine's eyes were tightly closed, but two lines of tears flowed from her eyes.
The tears were crystal clear, sliding down her cheeks, bringing a string of tears, flowing to her chin, under the influence of gravity, dripping on the wooden floor.
This was the first time he saw Elaine like this.
He was most afraid of the sudden sadness in the air.
… …
… …
On the rooftop of the tavern.
A cool breeze blew, and the lights at the foot of the mountain were faintly visible.
Looking at Elaine's still depressed expression, Tang Yu was a little worried.
"It's okay, Lord." She shook her head, her earrings making a soft sound.
"You don't look like you're okay."
"I just remembered something from the past." She looked up, the wind blew the hair on her forehead, her eyes clear, quietly looking into the distance.
Like a painting.
"If you don't mind, say it. Maybe you'll feel better."
Tang Yu felt that as a Lord, he had an obligation to care about the mental health of his subordinates. Of course, that's bullshit. Half a month ago, he was still an ordinary survivor. A month and a half ago, he was just an ordinary single dog in China.
Even now, he was still a mortal.
He didn't have too many dreams. He just wanted to bring his parents back and manage his own land.
When he got the system, he also thought about whether to recruit troops to conquer the world, whether to forge ahead and cut through the thorns.
He wanted to become a true Great Lord.
Life and death were decided with a single word.
One look was enough to make people kneel down.
He thought about it and decided to forget it. What could he gain by doing that? The thrill of conquering the world, or supreme authority? But what followed was loneliness and emptiness.
People had to grow up. Their edges and corners had to be polished, their thorns had to be plucked out, they had to learn to smile at people they hated, and they had to become slick and slick …
The post-apocalyptic world was even crueler. Some people had to sell their bodies for a piece of bread. Some people could only force a smile as they watched their family and friends die in front of them.
This was the helplessness of the weak.
He developed his territory and made himself stronger, not to conquer others, but to dominate himself.
Shaking off the complicated thoughts in his mind, he couldn't help but open his mouth and break the silence … and sorrow.
After a moment of silence, Elaine's voice came from the side.
"I was born in a small town. My parents worked in a mine outside the city. Although I often couldn't find them at that time, I felt that life was very happy. The happiest moment of every day was squatting at the door, waiting for them to come back."
Elaine walked to the edge of the rooftop and squatted down. The crystal inlaid on her skirt swayed, and the bell rang. "That evening, I squatted at the door, looked at the sky, and waited until the sky was completely dark. The familiar figure did not appear again."
"It wasn't until the next day that I learned that there was a black tide outside the city yesterday. The first place to be attacked was the mine area. At that time, I also knew that the harsh siren symbolized death."
She sat down on the edge of the rooftop, and the staff in her hand turned into a stream of light and merged into her body.
Her feet were suspended in the air, and her calves, which were exposed outside the skirt, were like white jade, swaying gently.
"… After several years, I have forgotten that feeling of sadness. It's just that this time, I'm a little … I can't control myself."
She wiped the crystal tears hanging in the corner of her eyes, turned her head, and smiled gently at the Lord. Her voice was like a wind chime.
Tang Yu sat beside her, listening quietly. The cool breeze blew, and the sky-blue hair brushed past his face, a little itchy.
He saw.
Elaine's face had returned to its former calmness, but the sadness in the depths of her eyes lingered.
Tang Yu couldn't help but raise his hand, hesitated in mid-air, and finally fell on Elaine's head, gently stroking her, "Don't force yourself too much. After all, there's still me and others."
… …
… …
In the wilderness.
The Storm Mercenary's mustache leader was holding a map in his hand, "A few kilometers ahead is the shelter called Tree Shade. I heard that this shelter is relatively strong, so their purchasing power should be higher than other shelters."
The three forces from Hengcheng were working together to sell their goods to various small shelters.
The leader surnamed Gao nodded, "We've sold goods in five small shelters along the way. The situation is much better than we expected. Although those small shelters don't have a lot of spirit stones, there are a lot of miscellaneous things. Among them, there are extraordinary high-value items. Those guys don't have good eyesight, so we got lucky."
"Yeah." Another leader surnamed Yang agreed, "If we sold it in Lindong, even if we could sell it, how could we sell it for such a high price? Some special materials, when we bring them back to Hengcheng in the future, whether we sell them or use them ourselves, we'll make a profit."
"After all, it's just a small shelter. Some high-value materials were obtained by luck. They were shocked by our aura and were almost scared silly. Some thought we were planning to rob them, so they turned around and ran away." The mustache man smiled, "If it weren't for the fear of provoking Lindong's dissatisfaction, I really have plans to lower the purchase price of the materials."
"No need. Anyway, we've earned enough, and the road has been opened. As long as there are no new cracks of the abyss on the road, it won't be so difficult for us to come to Lindong next time."
The road was dangerous with countless casualties. But after they passed it once, they had recorded the map. They knew where the danger was and which area was relatively less dangerous.
Most of the casualties occurred in the high-risk areas. They bypassed the high-risk areas and walked through the less dangerous areas all the way to Lindong.
This was equivalent to the ancient waterway.
The first trip was always the most dangerous. But after that, as long as they followed the opened road, the degree of danger would be reduced a lot.
