Overturned Tower

"Mammon's specifications..."

Hearing Russell's words, Bad Ri hesitated instead.

He lowered his head and glanced at Heaven's Misfortune, and shook his head: "I don't think it will be possible. Mammon is the highest-ranked demon that has been perfectly hatched, with tenth-level psionic power, it is difficult for even the Elf Director to fight against.

"At that time, the church did not unfreeze the mechanical angels... Even though the forces of all parties were united, they still paid a huge price for defeating Mammon.

"In order to solve this problem, even our Tower of Babel was dispatched.

"I wasn't born at that time. But I also heard the deer head talking about it."

"...What kind of demon is Mammon?"

Russell couldn't help asking: "Is it code-named Mammon, or is it just named Mammon? What's going on with the Tanbai incident?"

"It is read as mammon."

Bad Day seriously began to tell Russell important information about Mammon, and at the same time, it seemed to be to tell these secrets to the poor and the Paradise Bird: "This seems to be one of the many languages ​​left over from the past era. Miss Flower Touch said, this demon The name translated means 'worldly wealth', from a 'dead language' whose users have all died long ago.

"The host of Mammon is a very greedy and wealthy businessman.

"Since the age on the ground, he has been collecting money at all costs by all means—he is an old businessman who lived from the Islamic War to the Sky Island period. It is said that in ancient times, when people traded commodities, there was no so-called Instead of credits, some specific metals are used as currency.

"The most expensive currency is forged using 'gold'. And the host of Mammon has hoarded a full 860 tons of gold... You may not understand what this is. But in short, the At that time, he was the richest man in the world. He was even able to buy several kingdoms with ease. Of course, he did not start from scratch, but was the last heir of a certain family at that time."

"Wait," Russell suddenly realized, "Since he is so good, he is also a member of the family. Why is it a short-lived species?

"This kind of person...couldn't be able to become an elf in the end?"

Hearing this, Paradise Bird looked over with some doubts.

But Bad Day just shrugged his shoulders: "The specific reason is not clear, maybe because the elves hate him...or maybe they think he is too aggressive. After all, most of the elves are still research talents and art Talent. Although they are more or less doing business nowadays, I am afraid that they will still hate this kind of businessman who is too pure in nature. Of course, I am guessing... who knows.

"In short, at the end of the old rich businessman's life, when he used various means, threatened or begged the elves to transform him into an elf, the elves still chose to refuse.

"The elves are only willing to perform various operations on him to prolong his life. But they are still unwilling to give him real eternal life. And he has nothing to do with the elves.

"When he lived to be one hundred and twenty years old, his offspring had died, ninety percent of his grandchildren had died, and his great-grandson had died of old age. Eighty percent of his organs had been replaced with prosthetic bodies, but He still didn't want to die, he was almost crazy at that time.

"And when he entered his vault for the last time... Mammon descended.

"—A gigantic monster made of 860 tons of gold. Glittering in the sunlight.

"People who are illuminated by that light, regardless of whether they are covered or not, their skin and hair will gradually lose their color. The original black hair will gradually change to brown or brown, then gold and gray, and then white. When the hair and skin completely change When it becomes pale, the person will completely lose his 'heart'... From the beginning of fading to completely pale, the whole process will not take more than half an hour.

"Whether it is a brave man or a sage, or even a saint on the ground of the Cyber ​​Church. After they are completely pale, they will completely lose their existing emotions and memories. The power of the holy order, spiritual power and spells they originally held are all wiped out into a blank.

"Although people are still alive, they can still live, talk and work normally... but they are living like walking dead. They have lost their dreams, hopes and love forever, and their faces are always pale, and their light-colored children's holes have become empty. There is no god. If the "Pale One" continues to receive the illumination of Mammon, the soul will start to be extracted by Mammon, and will attack the surroundings indiscriminately, plundering all valuables and returning them to Mammon, increasing the size of Mammon. In other words, they became the familiars of mammon.

"The children they gave birth to all have white hair—even if their soul relatives don't have white hair. This is why more than half of the residents of Tongshen Island today have white hair."

Just listening to Bad Day's narration, Russell frowned.

He felt a little unbelievable.

"...How did you defeat such a powerful monster in the end?"

"You still want to win?"

Bad Ri asked: "That is to say, Mammon has no desire to fight at all, otherwise its huge body alone can destroy Tongshen Island.

"The result of the trial of Shenzhi Heavy Industry is that if you don't attack Mammon directly, you will not suffer counterattack-if you use equipment to dig, it will be regarded as an attack, but if it is a person of flesh and blood...especially if the poor dig it, Mammon will not be attacked. Will forgive them and allow them to take some of their gold, but if they take too much at once, mammon may get angry.

"However, the chaos after the advent of Mammon resulted in the deaths of more than a thousand people. These people were basically killed by their own people... because at the very beginning, the pale ones lost their sanity and attacked indiscriminately. , Just like a zombie. People suspected that it might be some kind of virus, so they killed all the mutants.

"So Tongshen Island finally sent laborers to dig at night. They only took seven or eight pieces of gold at a time, or turned around and ran away with a dozen gold coins. At this level, Mammon would completely ignore the other party.

"Then they put these magical gold coins separately into a completely closed black box. Otherwise, even if they are taken away from the body, the 'Mammon gold coins' will still make people gradually pale.

"Shenzhi Heavy Industry chooses at night because the reflection caused by moonlight is much weaker than sunlight, at least it is easier to approach the past. They also tried changing the sky to cover the sky, but if Mammon can't shine, they will become anxious and start Move towards the light source.

"After all the volunteers in Tongshen Island had their turn once, the size of Mammon had shrunk greatly. But at that time, everyone had entered a critical period of danger, and if they were exposed to light again, they might turn pale...

"Tongshen Island sent a rescue request to other sky islands, but no sky island responded. Only some lower-level priests of the Cyber ​​Church responded to the call and went to Tongshen Island."

"Where's the dragon?"

Russell couldn't help asking: "Did the dragons not respond?"

Bad Day frowned: "The giant dragon has moved, but the movement is very strange. They seem to know some secrets of Mammon, so they specifically emphasize that the elf directors are not allowed to forcefully arrest others, and the victims must be voluntary. The dragon is not unconcerned. For this matter, they neither organized nor called for a rescue team, nor did they prevent others from going voluntarily. But they just did not allow any force to force others to participate... We tried to catch some prisoners to do these things, but were stopped by the dragon.

"After another round of Cyber ​​Church moved, there was only a small piece left. Not only did people from other sky islands not come, but many people from Tongshen Island were unwilling to help. In the end, those who had already dispatched After a round of volunteers, they stood up again and completely sealed Mammon after paying the painful price of 4,000 warriors paled. This time, the paled ones were not attacked and killed, but controlled.

"After Mammon was sealed, they became relatively normal... able to produce new feelings and memories. However, the previous feelings and memories were still destroyed by the power of Mammon. In order to take care of their lives, Shenzhi Heavy Industry took them in. For the employees.

"After that, every year in Tongshen Island, because of stealing mammon gold coins, he, his family and neighbors would gradually become pale. It has been like this for seven or eight years, and Shenzhi Heavy Industry repeatedly proposed to hand over all the heavy metals. There was relief.

"It was also after that that 'credit points' completely replaced all the old transaction models. Specific metals can no longer be used as currency... This is also for safety reasons. After all, no one knows whether the precious metals they get are Ma part of the door.

"In that rich merchant's vault, there are not only gold coins and gold bars, but also some silverware and jewelry. But these things should have been destroyed and recast by Shenzhi Heavy Industry."

"Five Dynasties, Rivers, Mountains, Wind and Moon"

Bad Day spread his hands: "I know what you suspect. I also doubted that - the material of the mind protection chip may have a part of Mammon, which is why the chip cannot be imitated. After all, I don't really believe it. It is the use of electric shocks to stun people that can prevent the awakening of psionic energy.

"Would a person in real pain~www.wuxiahere.com~ forget his pain because of a brief faint? If that's the case, then why would he use alcohol to relieve his sorrow, and let the chip power up?"

"That makes sense..."

Russell nodded, let out a breath, and changed from the "detective" appearance back to his original posture. Feeling inexplicably lighter.

He had guessed part of it before.

What he couldn't understand was, how could a demon of mammon be used by psykers all over the world?

But it would be understandable if Mammon was said to have such a large size. It also makes perfect sense.

He also knew why the "Tanbai Incident" had not become a "history" banned by the dragon, but he hadn't seen any details on Sogo Island or Happy Island.

But this also confirmed that Russell's idea was correct.

"This also proves from the side that Thoth's power does have the technology to turn demons into raw materials to make certain items. And it can also retain part of the properties of raw materials..."

Russell murmured, looking expectantly at Heaven's Sent, his tail wagging slightly.

He wanted to add a buckler to his prosthetic hand.

I hope Mr. God sent misfortune to fulfill this little wish of Mao Mao...
