This time, the skull that appeared in Lu Ban’s palm was completely different.
It looked more like some kind of large dog, with bones that were translucent and crystal-like, and extremely cold, as if they were condensed ice crystals. When Lu Ban held it in his hand, he felt a bone-chilling chill. It was clearly early summer, but the entire room felt like a severe winter.
“It’s so cold.”
With a sigh, Lu Ban immediately crushed the skull.
Those ice crystals turned into powder, and grayish-white mist lingered around Lu Ban and then penetrated into his brain.
Countless sharp whispers echoed in his brain.
"...I have been guarding here for twelve years and have never seen such heavy snow. It is coming, it is coming..."
"...Once the red moon appears, it means the devil's tide is coming. The twelve devil's tides never appear at the same time. The easiest to deal with is the scorching heat, and the most difficult is the strange mirror..."
"...I am the sword in the darkness, the guardian in the Mirkwood, the flame that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers..."
"... Ridiculous. You are just a bunch of rabble, and you still want to fight the monsters in the Black Forest. If I were to ask you, the best use of sharpening your knives is to commit suicide when those monsters come..."
"…It will only take three days for the red moon to dissipate and the demonic tide to weaken. We only need to hold on for three days…"
Different from the previous mumbling, this time, there were more human words. They spoke an exotic language, and after being translated by the Land of Silence, the meaning of the words was conveyed to Lu Ban's ears, making him feel dizzy.
Lu Ban couldn't help but close his eyes, and only came to his senses after a moment.
"It is indeed the magic tide of the Kingdom of Night. The twelve magic tides seem to appear according to certain rules. Only one kind of monster invades each time. I hope to encounter the winter wolf. According to the magic tide, it should be frost. It must be very cold."
Thinking of the biting coldness of the skull he had just crushed, Lu Ban felt that this time the demonic tide was most likely frost.
"Scorching heat, it should be a magic tide related to fire. What is a strange mirror, a haunted magic tide?"
Lu Ban got several nouns, including scorching heat, strange mirror, thorns, eternal darkness, and of course frost. These correspond to different demonic tides. He might have to ask the locals for the details.
"According to the knowledge I have obtained, most of the people in the Black Tower are those who have no talent and cannot learn magic. In the Kingdom of Darkness, such people are naturally weaker. No wonder they are called a mob."
"Although the Gray Tower will dispatch a certain number of mages to guard the area when the demonic tide arrives, the area they can radiate to is still too small. Just resisting the demonic tide will result in heavy losses."
The life in the Gray Tower that Xia mentioned, where magic can be used conveniently, may be the pinnacle of the Kingdom of Darkness. From then on, it will be a miserable life full of monster invasions.
On second thought, even Xia, who had mastered the art of disintegration, was only a quasi-proxy. The spells mastered by a formal wizard were definitely more powerful than hers in both quantity and strength. Even such a wizard could not completely resist the magic tide. How huge would that be?
Lu Ban felt that he couldn't just go there empty-handed.
Even without talking about the box office share of "In the Mouth of a Madman" which has not yet been received, the company still has hundreds of millions of capital based on the money earned before.
There is no other way in China, but he can travel abroad and buy some arms.
What about individual-soldier fuel-air explosives, individual-soldier sniper grenades, armored vehicles, and portable rockets? Get them all.
But after Lu Ban checked the lethality of modern warfare weapons, he felt that it was not worth it.
Simply put, the lethality of weapons that everyone perceives is either too little or too much.
For example, some people think that a few tactical nuclear bombs can destroy a city, but in fact they may only be able to blow up a small block. Some people think that a rocket can only blow up a house, but in fact the entire building may not be spared.
At the same time, supply is a big problem.
The amount of ammunition a person can carry is extremely limited, and as for an armored vehicle, it is obvious that the Land of Silence will not allow Lu Ban to drive it to a foreign land.
Without ammunition, the weapon would quickly become ineffective.
"I feel like we still need to find some profiteers."
Lu Ban clicked on [Silent Department Store].
Now that Lu Ban has hundreds of thousands of Silence Points, he can buy [Excellent] quality goods without looking at the price, and he can even take a look at [Polluted] quality.
He soon saw an item that could be considered a powerful weapon.
[Mouth of the Abyss]
【pollute】
[One mouth can swallow most things]
[From the depths of the Black Forest in the Kingdom of Darkness. Legend has it that it was once part of the body of the leader of a certain demonic tide.]
[The biggest problem is how to carry it, because it will also devour the holder and emit a foul odor]
[“Hehehehehehe——”]
[Price: 114514 Silence Points]
This is the item that was refreshed in the store this time. It is a product of [Pollution] quality, priced at 100,000 Silence Points, and the effect is also excellent. It is the power of the leader of a certain magic tide in the Kingdom of Darkness. It should be able to eat and eat a large number of monsters as long as it is thrown into the monster pile.
The disadvantage is that it is too expensive. You will be penniless after buying Lu Ban. And it seems that carrying it is a problem. You might be eaten up before you even encounter the monster.
He looked again.
I found another product that I had seen before but had not included in my consideration list.
Cat poisoning
【pollute】
[A cute cat that will heal your heart when you see it]
[In some places in the wasteland, curses are a tangible existence, and because of the saints, they are all strange and bizarre.]
[This cat can make everyone who sees it give up all evil thoughts and focus on caressing it, satisfying it, until they give it everything they have]
[“Cat, hey, my cat.”]
[Price: 99999 Silence Points]
This thing is so healing at first glance that Lu Ban couldn't help but want to shut up and buy it immediately. But after reading the instructions carefully, Lu Ban felt that he might not be able to control this cat and would eventually become the first person to be captured by it.
"If there is a chance, you can exchange it for use in a critical moment."
He concluded this.
Flipping the page, Lu Ban saw a new product on the shelves.
【Small-scale natural disaster generator】
【pollute】
[When you are tired, have you ever thought about a natural disaster suddenly coming and you no longer have to work hard]
[The small-scale natural disaster generator from Hedao is your best choice. As long as you adjust it to the appropriate gear, you can cause a natural disaster within a certain scale. In this way, your boss, customers, colleagues, no one will rush you to work. It can be reused! ]
[Of course, it may have some minor problems sometimes, but please rest assured that we have not received any return complaints from customers so far]
[“It’s flawless and impeccable. You don’t even know how it was made!”]
[Price: 88488 Silence Points]
It is close to 90,000 Silence Points, but what attracts Lu Ban is that he can reuse these points.
Faced with attacks from numerous monsters, it seems to be a good choice to directly use this thing to create earthquakes or thunderstorms, or use volcanic eruptions to fight storms.
Moreover, the quality of this product seems to be guaranteed, and there is no record of returns, which shows that users are very satisfied.
"It's decided to be you."
Lu Ban bought the product without hesitation.
