Chapter 2027
Ever since Tang Zhen had entered the city of despair, he had been thinking of ways to figure out his own origins and how he had entered this place.
When he learned about the existence of the high-class Street and possibly more secrets, he recruited a large number of men and killed all the way to the end of the long Street, wanting to find out what was going on.
However, after he really came here, Tang Zhen was stunned to discover that things like rumors could not be believed at all.
The so-called high-class Street was completely different from the rumors on despair Street, or perhaps it was more accurate to say that it was fundamentally different.
Many of the methods that Tang Zhen had prepared earlier could not be put to use. He could only choose to adapt to the situation.
Fortunately, not everything was different from the rumors. In terms of not being able to live without proof, it was exactly as the rumors said.
The vouchers he had collected earlier could support him for a while, but this kind of humiliating way of spending made Tang Zhen rather throw away the vouchers than follow the rules.
They would squeeze you dry of your money and force you to accept their exploitation and bullying in the way they had set up.
A warrior could be killed but not humiliated. The rules of the city were clearly to play the despairing person like a monkey. How would Tang Zhen send himself to the door to be bullied?
Of course, all of this was not important. Tang Zhen did not care about it at all. Even if the city of despair was the nine Serenities hell, it would not be able to affect him at all.
If he felt that it was unfair, he just needed to wave his saber and cut out a piece of land that he felt comfortable with.
In this regard, he was fundamentally different from the despairing people who would submit to adversity. Even if his memories were blocked, his hands and feet were not bound.
However, if he could not figure out the truth of the world, even if he had the ability, in the end, he would still be manipulated and fooled.
It was like exerting force on the air. Even if one exhausted oneself, it was still useless.
If there really was a mastermind behind the scenes, he would probably be full of ridicule after seeing this scene.
The thing that Tang Zhen was most interested in now was the casting of magic techniques and how he could retrieve his memories.
Tang Zhen looked at the two long-robed men when he thought of this. They were the key to his answer.
The two long-robed men nodded. They were clear of their situation and understood the ferocity of Tang Zhen’s group when they killed without blinking.
If he wanted to, he would not hesitate to kill them. He would not care about their identity at all.
In fact, if it was someone else who was in despair, the two long-robed men might not have been so cooperative.
However, Tang Zhen had used the technique that they were most skilled in to easily defeat them. The two long-robed men were completely convinced of this point.
Otherwise, even if they were captured, they wouldn’t allow themselves to be bullied and humiliated. To interrogate them, they must have the corresponding identity.
Tang Zhen revealed a satisfied expression when he saw the long-robed man’s reply. He waved his hand and released a miniature protective barrier.
His movements were as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, and there was almost no delay. This scene stunned the two long-robed men.
Even though they had cultivated for many years, they had never been able to do it so easily. This made the two long-robed men feel a sense of defeat.
They had always thought that the despairing people were a bunch of trash bugs. However, Tang Zhen’s performance had caused their confidence to suffer a huge blow. They knew that there were times when the despairing people might not be inferior to them.
Tang Zhen was unaware of the thoughts in the hearts of the two long-robed men. The scene earlier was merely done in passing. There was not the slightest bit of flaunting.
you’ve used such a method before. I want to know where you used the energy? ”
Tang Zhen’s energy came from his mind. Therefore, he wanted to know if the long-robed man was the same.
In fact, before he asked, Tang Zhen had already carefully sensed it.
To his disappointment, he did not sense any energy fluctuations from the two long-robed men.
After hearing Tang Zhen’s question, the two long-robed men exchanged glances with each other and whispered a few words.
The voice wasn’t very loud, but at least Tang Zhen could hear it clearly.
It was obvious that they understood the rules of being captives. Even if they really needed to communicate, they had to ensure that Tang Zhen could hear them.
The energy you’re talking about should be Shen power, and the source of Shen power is actually the God stone in the mine.
The long-robed man explained. Only then did Tang Zhen confirm that the source of energy the other party used to cast the spell was completely different from his.
According to them, the God stone was the most precious thing in the God nation. It was said that it was condensed from God Power and only existed in the depths of the earth.
The God’s stone contained divine power, and spell casters relied on this power to cast all kinds of spells.
After God stones were mined, they couldn’t be used immediately. They needed to be processed in a special way.
After a spellcaster obtained a God’s stone, they could absorb it through meditation and then store it in their body.
When a battle broke out, he could mobilize the energy stored in the God’s stone in his body and complete the casting of spells.
The whole process was very complicated. Not only did it require a very special technique to cast the spell, but it also required enough talent. Ordinary soldiers could not do this at all.
It was precisely because there were few spellcasters that they had a very high status. Even if they paid ransoms, they had to pay several times more than ordinary soldiers.
However, it was rare for spell casters to be captured. After all, for the despairing, the attack methods of spell casters were by no means comparable to that of ordinary soldiers. Most despairing people could only be crushed.
The horned helmet was unusually excited. This was also one of the reasons. The value of those soldiers added together might not even be comparable to the two spell casters.
It could be said that Tang Zhen had just arrived here and had already caught two big fish. Moreover, they were frighteningly fat.
The horned helmet also knew that if they had not met Tang Zhen today, then their group would have been pursued by the spell casters and might not have been able to escape.
Tang Zhen revealed a pondering expression as he listened to the long-robed man’s story.
“So you’re saying that after you caught the desperators, you sent them all to the mine in order to excavate this kind of divine stone?”
The long-robed man expressed that it was indeed so. It was difficult to excavate a mine that produced divine stones, and the output was pitifully low.
And for some unknown reason, it was difficult for the remnants of the God’s kingdom to find traces of God’s stones, while it was easier for the despairing to gain something.
This was the root of all the trouble. In order to obtain enough divine stones, the residents of the city naturally turned their attention to the deserters.
The purpose of allowing the despaired to enter the city was to hope that they would take the initiative to accept the heavy work in the mine when they were desperate.
...
Due to the harsh measures of the remnants of the kingdom of God, the despaired people fled the mine or simply ran out of the city to avoid being caught again.
The soldiers in the city began to clear out the despaired outside of the city and forced them to enter the city to mine. As a result, the conflict between the two sides grew deeper and deeper, until it reached this level.
Tang Zhen felt that the long-robed man’s explanation was a little ridiculous.
These remnants of the divine Kingdom were unable to collect the divine stones themselves and could only rely on the despairing ones to collect them, but they did not want to give the despairing ones any benefits.
The despairing ones were not willing to be manipulated by them, but instead, they were hunted down and killed, just to force the despairing ones into the city and continue to be exploited.
It seemed overbearing and unreasonable, but the despairing ones had no choice. After all, in this land, despairing people really had no choice.
