The tavern was still the same, two-story, quaint wooden structure. It was conspicuous among the castle buildings.
Like the defensive building, the subsequent changes to the tavern needed to be chosen by the user.
Summoning range, follower strength, contract number … these were probably the three aspects.
"The contract quota needs to be expanded with telekinesis points. Let's not talk about that for now. I'm still poor. Anyway, the remaining 12 slots are enough."
"The key is the strength of the summoned …"
From level 4 to level 6, the upper limit of summoning was the Awakening Stage Great Perfection, and at most A-rank aptitude. Nancy was just an accident.
After obtaining the authority, Tang Yu had understood the summoning rules.
Simply put, everything was fate's choice.
To be more complicated, the summoned follower would inevitably choose to agree when he saw the golden contract book. This was a certain result filtered from countless uncertain candidates and times.
If Tang Yu's first summoning was a few minutes faster or a few minutes slower, it was likely that the summoned follower wouldn't be Elaine, but another B-rank or A-rank follower.
Randomly selected from countless candidates at the same time.
This was why no matter how many summons he fused, it was impossible to get an A-rank follower. The summoning rules couldn't guarantee that at this second, an A-rank follower would inevitably choose to sign a contract.
B-rank was different. The number was dozens or hundreds of times more. With a huge base, it was enough to find a certain follower who was bound to sign a contract.
Most of the followers were in a desperate state before they were summoned. Because in that state, they only had one choice — to sign a contract.
It was inevitable.
But this method of summoning the follower quality was unsatisfactory.
"Besides, I don't want to spend a lot of time and resources to cultivate another group of transcendents."
Tang Yu clicked on the summoning interface.
There were two new functions.
[Advanced Filtering: Directly filter the target according to the number of spirit stones invested.]
[Restriction Lifted: You can search and find more people in this mode, but without the power of fate, the summoning cannot be guaranteed to be successful.]
Tang Yu directly swiped to filter the people with A-rank or above qualifications and transcendents strength.
The estimated cost of spirit stones per second was 11 units.
He didn't even frown and chose 'Yes'.
Soon, he entered the search interface.
One second, two seconds … ten seconds passed, and there was no sound.
He was mentally prepared and chose 'Restriction Lifted.'
In the next second.
Ding!
The summoning array glowed, and a figure stood in the center of the array.
[Person]: Carl
[Grade]: A +
[Level]: Transcendent Rank-1 (One Source Core)
[Profession]: Tiger Warrior
[Introduction]: about 200 words
[Skills]: Less than 30 words
He raised an eyebrow.
Choose to summon.
"Ding! The adventurer refuses to sign a contract with you. "
Tang Yu was expressionless.
"Cough cough … as expected."
But the instant rejection was a little too decisive!
He tried a few more times.
Without exception, all of them were rejected. The longest rejection was three seconds after the summoning was chosen. Only then did the rejection message arrive.
… The other side was probably shocked by the contract information that suddenly popped up.
"That's normal, that's normal. Although there are many benefits mentioned in the contract, the essence is still to recruit employees and subordinates. These Transcendents are all big shots, so how could they possibly sign a contract …"
He shook his head and fumbled. Gradually, he had an idea.
It seemed that while summoning, it could transmit some simple information to the person being summoned.
Choosing someone who wasn't in a good situation might also increase the chances of success.
…
In a certain world.
A human holding a spear, bathed in blood, tore through the encirclement of heavy monsters, flashed a few times, and disappeared at the end of the sky.
The ruins of the city a few miles away were covered with ivy.
Zhong Ping leaned against the corner of the broken room, circulating his source power to heal his injuries.
In the second year of breaking through to Transcendent, he still hadn't found any survivors.
The sky was dim.
His mood was gray.
"I might be the last survivor in the world."
He murmured.
Suddenly, he stood up, holding the spear made of black iron in front of him. "Who!"
"Monster? Or human?! "
The echoes echoed.
The monster's roar sounded in the distance.
Zhong Ping didn't care about the outside world. He frowned, and the voice in his mind sounded again.
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to live?"
"Sign the contract, you can see the real future."
The golden contract book emerged from the void and hovered in front of him.
A stream of information poured into his mind.
"Tree shade? Myriad world? Follower? "
His complexion changed again and again.
As soon as he became a follower, he would be a follower for life … This was quite harsh for him. Even though the contract's information stated that followers also had autonomy and many other benefits, apart from protecting their territory and helping their lord defeat enemies, there were no other requirements for him.
Zhong Ping still didn't dare to be careless.
Before the extinction of humans, he had heard some stories about the devil's contract. The power in the contract book couldn't be faked, but the information might not be true.
Once signed, he may not have the power to resist.
But, in two years, this was the first time he heard about humans.
Outside the world, there were also humans.
Perhaps in this world, somewhere, there were survivors struggling to survive. But even if they were found, what could they do? The monsters were getting stronger, and the world was getting more and more silent.
In front of him, it might be the only chance.
Seemingly seeing that he didn't agree, the golden book's color faded and gradually became illusory, as if it could disappear at any time.
Zhong Ping gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "I'll sign!"
His fingers touched the golden book, and the next moment, the world turned upside down.
…
Looking up, there was a gray sky.
Farther away, the high wall known as the "Eternal Wall" separated this world.
Outside the wall, there was a barren land, and monsters were everywhere.
Inside the wall, there was singing and dancing, known as the only pure land in the world.
"But it's illusory."
Zapor looked at the inner city, the real land of the kingdom, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Indeed.
In the thirty years since the "Eternal Wall" was built, it hadn't been broken once.
This one hundred and thirty-five meters high wall was made with countless rare materials and inscribed with countless runes. It was the masterpiece of two grandmasters and dozens of masters.
Double grandmaster in runes and formations.
Grandmaster in manufacturing.
Completed together, a work of miracles that was thought to be impossible.
The ferocious black tide could only be blocked outside this high wall.
Because of the thirty years of standing, the nobles in the city had already adapted to the current comfortable life.
There was no sense of crisis.
But Zapor, who was responsible for investigating the outside world, knew that the scythe of the god of death was always hanging over the capital.
Over the years, he had seen too many terrifying black beasts.
He had seen cities submerged by the black tide.
There was less and less land for humans, and less and less food.
"Even if the capital is safe, how big is the entire capital?"
Singing and dancing referred to the nobles in the inner city. The people in the outer city were emaciated and sallow. Every day, countless people starved to death.
Even they, who fought on the frontline and were responsible for investigating the outside world, had to reduce their scale again and again because of the lack of funds.
As for cultivation resources, they were even rarer.
Zapor's eyes were filled with worry.
The monsters in the outside world were getting stronger, and humans … It had been twelve years since the birth of a new transcendent.
The capital could not always be peaceful.
He had reported this, but Zapor didn't have much say. The decision makers of the royal family were even more dismissive of his worries and speculations.
"Sigh …"
He let out a long sigh. Suddenly, a bell rang in his mind.
"You want to become stronger? You want to see the light of day again? "
He was stunned.
He quickly calmed down and noticed that there was an additional message in his mind.
After thinking about it carefully, he sneered and ignored it.
"You are helpless. You clearly know that the crisis is approaching, but you can only watch."
"The tragic state of the lower levels, the inaction of the upper levels, the crisis in the outside world, what do you have to change all of this?"
"You can't even save the lives of your team members. Don't you want to change all of this?"
"If you really don't care, why don't you reject it decisively, but put it aside?" "Look straight into your heart!"
Bang!
The table in front of him was smashed into pieces.
Zapor's clenched fist trembled.
He knew very well that time was running out. In another twenty to thirty years, the capital would very likely be like the cities in the outside world, with only broken walls and broken walls.
After some hesitation, Zapor chose to sign the contract, but he did not choose to leave immediately. Instead, he temporarily gathered his assistants and a few confidants, and after a few minutes, disappeared from the room.
…
Elsewhere in the capital.
The grassroots potion master, Anzarek, walked out of the laboratory with an ashen face.
"The 34th time I failed …"
And he no longer had any more ingredients.
Even the face of a potion master could not be exchanged for the support of the nobles.
Which of the great nobles in the city did not have a potion master? Even if it was a small noble who needed potions, their first choice was the pharmacist trained by the great nobles. After all, in terms of formulas, they might not have as many as a senior pharmacist.
They could only make some common, low-profit potions and sell them to ordinary hunters.
Barely maintain research.
But no progress was seen.
"Ding! Tree Shade City of the Heavens is recruiting online. As long as you have a heart that loves potions, we can give you the best platform. "
Master Anzarek, who was used to staying in the laboratory, was stunned.
Immediately, the voice in his mind reported countless potion formulas.
What was most infuriating was that, at every crucial moment, the recipe would change from Xia Ran to another recipe.
So angry!
Worse than the author who broke the chapter!
Anzarek stretched out his slightly wrinkled hand, trembling, and tapped on the golden contract book.
… …
Tree Shade, Tavern.
Tang Yu summoned ten new followers in one breath, rounding up the number.
Two Transcendents, one Master Pharmacist, one Master Planter, and the remaining six were all at the Great Perfection of the Awakening Order. It wouldn't take much resources to train them to Transcendence.
After finishing all this, he chose to delay the summoning and then walked out of the tavern.
Now, the Tree Shade was a mature territory, and he was also a powerful lord. Naturally, he didn't need to personally welcome new followers.
A few minutes later.
Inside the tavern, ten lights' happened 'to appear at the same time.
A nameless Great Perfection looked around, "A tavern? It looks very ordinary. We also have … wait, the source energy concentration here is so high! "
He exclaimed out loud.
Then, he suddenly sensed two oppressive auras beside him and turned his head. "Cha-Cha-Transcendence?!"
His voice couldn't help but carry a tone of awe.
They were only one step away, but compared to the status of Transcendence, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Without opportunity and luck, they were likely to be stuck at the bottleneck until their hair turned gray, until they became a handful of yellow soil.
The contract let them see the possibility of breaking through to Transcendence.
Just the concentration of the source energy here could increase their chances of breaking through to Transcendence by 20%.
After a round of discussion.
Among the ten people, Zapor quickly recognized Master Anzarek. Both of them had a small reputation in the Royal City.
"Royal City? The Eternal Wall? What's that? I can't even see living people in my world! "Zhong Ping muttered.
Zapor was surprised, "Not even one?"
"Maybe, at least like your city, a fixed gathering place. I've been looking for two years, but I haven't seen a single one."
Now Zapor was sure that these people were indeed from different worlds.
It was summoned over by a mysterious force that traveled across mountains and rivers.
Through the tavern's window, he saw the sky outside. It was very, very blue. It only existed in his memory, a scene from decades ago.
What kind of world was the Tree Shade?
… …
"Currently, there are millions of survivors living in the Tree Shade City. More than half of them are hunters."
"This is the castle area, that's the plantation area, and the industrial park at the foot of the mountain … oh, you mean the light above? One word is' Sun ', and two words are' Sun '. "
"That's called 'Moonlight Waterfall'. It can temper source power. Spectacular? It's just so-so. "
"We're stepping on a teleportation array. We can reach a distant corner in an instant."
Gray Blade, who was planning to step down as the Intelligence Minister, happened to be on vacation.
He was responsible for introducing the Tree Shade's situation, history, world overview, and so on to the newcomers.
The ten new followers followed Gray Blade to visit the territory. Some of them were stubborn, but they were also well-behaved.
No kidding.
Not to mention that they signed the contract, the person in front of them was also a follower's predecessor. Just the fact that the Lord had the ability to cross worlds and summon them here made them understand that they should diligently do their job.
It was said that the Tree Shade had developed dozens of dimensional worlds.
It was said that this world also had a similar disaster called the Demonic Wave. The Tree Shade had confronted the controller behind the Demonic Wave. Those strange-looking races had already been destroyed.
It was said that a few days ago, the Tree Shade had slaughtered dozens of Transcendents.
Dozens of them!
It was said that now the alien races didn't dare to show their heads around the Tree Shade!
Among the ten people, Zapor, the most knowledgeable and the strongest, couldn't tell if there were 30 human Transcendents in the entire capital city.
The Tree Shade was like a pig being slaughtered.
This power undoubtedly gave them confidence.
What was written in the contract was exactly the same.
It's not impossible to completely solve the problem of the Black Tide.
After walking around, Gray Blade, who couldn't wait to fish, finally said:
"Zapor and Zhong Ping, the two of you can take up important positions in the army. The two masters can also continue with your research, but you need to nurture enough talents for the Lord. As for the rest of you, your current mission is to break through to Transcendence."
