Chapter 259: Marquis of Silence 500 Years Ago and Now
Fanatical followers gathered around the Wise King Eleven. Their eyes shone like glass in the sunlight. They did not look like human eyeballs, but more like two glass beads in eye sockets.
Looking into their eyes, Xian Wang Eleven knew that the brainwashing was very effective.
"God, our only king," a believer knelt and approached, holding the hand of the wise king eleven, "give the order, we will kill the blind man."
The Eleventh Wise King wanted to pull his hand back, but he held back. He put his other hand on the back of the man's hand and said gently, "No, I don't want you to get involved in the dangerous swamp."
The delicate, male-female voice was very gentle, and the believer's eyes became more inorganic. The Eleventh Wise King found an opportunity to pull his hand back, with a warm smile on his face, but he sneered in his heart:
Who do you think you are, hunting down the blind? If you kill one, you'll die. If you kill a whole group, you'll die.
They are all useless trash. In the end, I still have to rely on myself.
"My friends, come with me." The Eleventh Wise King looked around at everyone's face, "Let's go build a new world."
He turned around, the sun shone on his face. The Eleventh Wise King narrowed his eyes, and his scarlet pupils shrank into a vertical line under the strong light.
Although the tearful eyes of these admirers are disgusting, but... it feels so good to be alive.

Zhongzhou, Moon Banner Base Camp
"Where did the melon seeds come from?" Zhuang Yuan grabbed two and was about to throw them into her mouth, but the sunflower leaves immediately blocked her hand and snatched the melon seeds back.
Wolanbei snorted, "I was reborn as a sunflower. In order to use the leaves skillfully, I practiced using the leaves to peel the seeds day and night."
"Your practice has achieved the desired effect. Can I eat the melon seeds now?" Zhuang Yuan said.
Wo Lanbei smiled and said, "Eat, you eat. Wei Wei kept talking about the shellless melon seeds. When he came back, he found that you had eaten the shellless melon seeds. Let's see what you will do."
Zhuang Yuan shuddered: "You peeled it for Wei Wei, so I dare not eat it." Then he walked away in a flash.
"Who is peeling the melon seeds for him!" Wolanbei yelled, "I'm practicing using the blade!"
At dusk, Gao Mengtang and the others came back. Wo Lanbei held a small box of melon seeds and ran over, shouting:
"Gao Mengtang, look at the melon seeds I peeled with leaves. They are so intact! Wei Wei, what are you looking at? I won't give them to you... Where is Wei Wei?"
The two eyes in the core of the sunflower blinked, and at this time, Wolanbei realized that the expressions of Gao Mengtang and others were very heavy.
"Where is Wei Wei?" he asked again.
Gao Mengtang forced a smile: "He... will be back in two days." After that, he dragged his heavy legs back to the Moon Banner Lord Castle.
Wolanbei asked for the third time, and this time, he sounded a little angry: "Where is Wei Wei?"
"He...ah." Duan Song sighed, "He should be called the Eleventh Wise King now."
The next day, everyone in Yuefan knew about Wei Wei's incident. The atmosphere in the base camp was depressed, with dozens of people coming and going without making any sound.
Wolanbei was basking in the sun in the garden. He fed the peeled melon seeds to the male Sanhua raised by Wei Wei.
Teammates took turns to persuade Gao Mengtang to mourn and accept the loss, which made Gao Mengtang very unhappy: Wei Wei is not dead yet, it's just that his body is controlled by the Xian Wang Eleven, why should he mourn!
The identity card is bound to both the body and the soul, which means that even if the Eleventh Wise King seizes control of the body, Wei Wei's soul still exists, because if the Eleventh Wise King strips off or destroys Wei Wei's soul, he will be severely hurt.
If we find a way to let Wei Wei's soul take back control of the body, wouldn't the problem be solved?
Gao Mengtang quickly calmed himself down, found the "Secrets of the Moon", and looked through the spells related to the soul.
After reading it hastily, Gao Mengtang became emotional again: asking Wei Wei, a human soul, to suppress the soul of the virtuous king Eleven is undoubtedly like an ant trying to shake a tree, which is easier said than done.
"Chief, there is a visitor." Zhuang Yuan said.
Gao Mengtang went to the reception room and saw that the visitors were He Suozhi, He Qi, Shang Yu, Shang Yin, and a few other people he didn't know. They looked dusty and dirty.
"Why are you here?" Gao Mengtang was wearing plush slippers. A pair of stone hands stretched out from the floor and moved the chair to Gao Mengtang's side.
Shang Yu said with a straight face: "Where else can we go?"
"A wizard family." Gao Mengtang said.
Shang Yin covered his face with his dirty hands: "If I hadn't been used as a sacrifice, would I still have the face to go back? It's not shameful enough."
Gao Mengtang: "That doesn't mean I'll kick you out of the house, right?"
He Suozhi smiled helplessly: "But most of our family members have been brainwashed by the Eleventh Sage King and have become his believers."
"You can also become followers of the Eleventh Sage King." Gao Mengtang said, and soon he added, "Oh, no, if you know what happened in the copy, you will be silenced by the Eleventh Sage King."
Shang Yu spread his hands and said, "So, we have come to you for help. Beautiful blind man, forgive me for being frank, but all this mess is caused by you. You have the obligation to take in a few of us homeless people."
Gao Mengtang felt extremely aggrieved and straightened up in his chair: "I don't want this to happen! I'm also a victim!"
"Accommodation fee." Shang Yu put a storage drawstring bag on the table, "Is there an empty room for me? I need to take a cold shower first."
After saying that, she walked upstairs quickly.
He Suzhi also took out a storage bag: "Our accommodation fee. You will definitely take us in, right?"
After they all went upstairs, Gao Mengtang opened the drawstring bag and saw broken bones, ancestral remains, props, weapons, potions, and skill scrolls pouring out like a fountain, directly flooding the entire reception room.
Gao Mengtang struggled to poke his head out from the pile of props, stared at the crowded room, and blinked blankly.
After a moment, he smiled helplessly. Shang Yu and He Suzhi, how could they have nowhere to go? They took away their own property to help Yue Fan.
Luca, who had become one with the house, spent the entire afternoon taking inventory and organizing.
These two groups of people were ruthless in robbing his family. Shang Yu brought the highest-level prop [Horror Gift Box] for upgrading 5 identity cards, and He Suzhi stole all the 20 normal resurrection coins at home.
He Suzhi also gave Yue Fan the inherited weapon he had just bought, [Dual Swords: Mutual Growth], saying that he was not good at fighting and did not like fighting. He bought this sword only to have some fighting power in the sacrifice competition and try to survive.
"I think this knife is very dangerous," He Suozhi said seriously, "The black knife cuts the dead, and the white knife cuts the living. The power of the dead souls absorbed can enhance the lethality of the white knife. But from my observation, if the black knife is used too much, the power of the dead is likely to devour the holder."
In addition, precious items include [Unique Item Turntable Coupon x2]
They held a meeting that evening to discuss the distribution of these precious props.
First of all, who should [Xiangsheng] be given to? Duan Song and He Lun have weapons that come with their ID cards, Bai Jie has already accepted the cane as he wished, and there is neither a heritage-level weapon nor a force value, only Lin Li is left.
But if they gave Xiangsheng to Linli, she would only mutter to herself, "black and white, what kind of future does it portend?" After comprehensive consideration, they decided to give Xiangsheng to Xiao Canglan.
Freesia is a little bit goofy, but has excellent fighting instincts. With a little training, she will be able to unleash the power of this sword.
Next, they distributed 5 [Horror Gift Boxes].
"I have thought about who to give the five boxes to. Do you want to hear my opinion?" Shang Yu said. Without waiting for others to answer, she continued, "Gao Mengtang, Xiao Canglan, Lin Li, Duan Song, He Suzhi."
At the round table, He Suzhi was startled and pointed at himself, incredulous: "Me? Give it to me? No way."
"Why?" Shang Yu frowned.
He Suozhi said confidently: "I'm scared. To be honest, I touched a horror gift box, and my identity card failed to evolve. It scared me so much that I didn't dare to turn off the lights to sleep for three months. Let's give the last gift box to Shang Yin. With two card kings, we have a better chance of winning against the Eleventh Sage King."
"I don't have the potential to evolve anymore," Shang Yin spread his hands helplessly, "I also touched the horror gift box. I only saw a group of fluffy little animals running around on the grass. I was depressed for three months because of this."
The horror gift box has a special feature: when the player puts his hand into the gift box and sees a horrifying scene and is frightened to death, regardless of whether he has evolved successfully or not, it means that the player's ID card still has the potential to evolve.
If a quiet and peaceful picture is seen, it implies that the player has no potential for evolution, and his thrilling journey in the black tower ends here.
"I'm just here to give out resurrection coins. I don't want to go to the battlefield!" He Suozhi said, "Please spare me for the sake of the twelfth wise king!"
He Lun was silent for a long time, and now he seized the opportunity: "Brother Mengtang, I think I..."
"I guess you will fail to evolve," Shang Yu said unkindly but reasonably, "The last time your ID card evolved was because of your sister's... incident, which stimulated you."
He Lun lowered his head and touched a small flower on the tablecloth.
"The situation this time may be similar. After using the Horror Gift Box, the evolution failed, but a certain event stimulated you and made you evolve successfully again." Shang Yu said, "Believe in our experience, I have seen this happen at least 50 times."
But He Suzhi couldn't wait to push the horror gift box in front of He Lun, and found an excuse to leave quickly. He Lun smiled happily and hugged the horror gift box tightly in his arms: "It's for me! Thank you!"
He Qi looked at his brother's back speechlessly, and pouted like a little adult: "Excuse me. My brother lacks a little courage."
The gift boxes were distributed, Gao Mengtang, Xiao Canglan, He Lun, Duan Song, and Lin Li, each holding one.
"Who's going first?" Gao Mengtang asked, "How about me - Xiao Canglan, don't stay here!"
Before he could finish his words, Freesia curiously opened the box and reached in to feel around.
Damn it, Gao Mengtang thought to himself. He quietly distanced himself from Xiao Canglan and covered his ears.
Freesia began to scream and twitch, fighting against the invisible monster. Under her blue skin, bright red blood vessels bulged and moved.
I don't know what the horror gift box made Freesia see, her fight became more and more intense, just like a tiger breaking into a human's residence, smashing the furniture in the conference room to pieces within 5 minutes. If it weren't for the sick cousin who integrated into the castle, Freesia would have demolished the entire building.
"These furnitures are not cheap. Brother Wei would be miserable if he saw this." Bai Jiemu was stunned and said amid a series of bangs, "Well, how can it not be considered lucky?"
The storm-like panic gradually subsided, and Freesia calmed down. The light word [726 Souls of the Drowned] above her head shattered, and a golden, shining light word appeared, symbolizing the highest level of evolution of the identity card:
【726 Ghost in the Lake】
"Excellent." Shang Yu pulled out two small stones from his hair, "How about we go outside and touch the remaining four horror gift boxes?"
Gao Mengtang moved over some broken plaster sculptures to use as stools: "No, just touch here. This is already a ruin, so why not make it even more dilapidated."
Everyone admired in their hearts, Gao Mengtang was optimistic.
"I have taken good care of the flowers in the garden. They cannot be destroyed." Gao Mengtang continued.
Others: “…”
The next ones to go were He Lun and Duan Song. As Shang Yu expected, He Lun failed. He was so frightened that he squatted on the ground, as if he had turned into a sculpture, and he could not move no matter how hard he pushed.
"What will they see?" Gao Mengtang was a little worried.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Shang Yu said, "And the weakling touched the box and fainted directly."
Duan Song’s ID card was already close to the top level. He didn’t hold out much hope, so he reached in and felt around, then shrank into the corner, holding his head and crying.
When he calmed down, Gao Mengtang touched his head and asked, "What did you see?"
"Everyone in Yuefan hates me. You curse me and hate me." Duan Song said in a tearful voice, "Senior, you cursed me the worst. You said I was a stray dog that no one wanted."
Gao Mengtang: "...I wouldn't talk like that!"
"Really?" Duan Song opened his tearful eyes.
"Well," Gao Mengtang said firmly, "You are a lovely little white dog."
Duan Song: “Woo…”
"Puppies are the cutest, aren't they?" Gao Mengtang patted his head.
Duan Song threw himself into Gao Mengtang's arms, crying loudly. As he cried, the light above his head shattered and turned into a golden [666 Fallen Angel]
This operation made the others dumbfounded. Shang Yin was stunned for a full minute and said very seriously: "Can I succeed in evolving by being a dog for Gao Mengtang? I need to think about it."
Pei Jiana was furious. He was Gao Mengtang's cutest dog and would never allow other dogs to interfere with their relationship. So he grabbed Duan Song's clothes and dragged him away.
There are only two boxes left.
Gao Mengtang wanted Lin Li to touch it first, but Lin Li stared at the broken rubble and thought about the future. Gao Mengtang sighed, opened the box first, and put his hand in...
Everyone opened their eyes wide and stared.
Will the Blind Man succeed in evolving? This player with the greatest potential.
The twelfth reincarnation of the Wise King, a person who changes the world every time he appears.
It will succeed, it will definitely succeed!
"I think..." Shang Yu touched his chin.
Bai Jie asked quickly: "Will it succeed?"
Shang Yu: "Gao Mengtang must be very cute when he is frightened."
Bai Jie: "..."
During the brief moment when his attention was distracted, Gao Mengtang fell to the ground with a thud and did not move. He did not utter a scream, and his expression did not even change.
Gao Mengtang fainted.
"Oh, what a pity." Shang Yu said, dragging him aside, "I thought he would cry and throw himself into my arms for comfort."
Bai Jie: “…Is this a failure?”
"Yeah. Failure for now."
There was only one horror box left, and they coaxed Lin Li to open it, then held her arm and reached into the box.
Lin Li didn't react at all. Just when everyone thought that Lin Li would fail in her evolution and faint, she let out a shrill scream.
Since they met, I have never heard any sound above 40 decibels in the forest. Her scream scared the people around her and they all dodged. It seemed like some liquid was flowing out of her head. She raised her hand and touched her ears, and they were bleeding.
The screams spread far away through the broken glass windows, startling the flocks of birds in the treetops, and their wings fluttered past the window frames. Shang Yu covered his bleeding ears and threw out a card, forming a barrier that covered them.
Lin Li walked towards the crowd stiffly, her eyes wide open, her glasses slipping to the tip of her nose, and her ill-fitting, wide skirt covered in dust, fluttering in the wind.
"Give up hope! Gao Mengtang will leave us forever!"
Everyone was stunned, and all they could hear was Lin Li shouting over and over again with that piercing scream: "Forever! Forever! Forever!"
"Give up hope! Gao Mengtang will leave us forever!"
There was another round of piercing screams, and the players were not only worried about their ears, but also about Lin Li's throat. If she screamed like that, her throat would definitely be ruined.
Their worries were justified. Lin Li's voice gradually became hoarse, as if covered by a layer of frosted glass. In the end, her facial muscles were tense, and she was still shouting, but no sound came out.
Lin Li grabbed her hair, knelt on the ground, and vomited a mouthful of black and red blood. Her expression was so terrified that people almost worried that she was scared to death.
The skin on her forehead cracked, and her third eye, the Celestial Eye, opened.
The light words above his head changed rapidly, and finally stopped at the golden "777 Silent Marquis"
The arms that were covering their ears were lowered, and everyone stared at the word "light" as if they had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
Lin Li is the Marquis of Silence? ? How is this possible! This prophet had already predicted Gao Mengtang's death, but that was six hundred years ago!
