Chapter 435 Ephialtes: Do big things, I want to do big things!
Ephialtis had already gone back, and after Mo Cheng handed over two seventh-level [Heroes] to him, the conversation became much easier.
Eifeltis hopes to cooperate with Mo Cheng, and Mo Cheng also intends to rely on his power, or the power of Administrator Bob, to find the equipment in Rothal City.
As for what Ephialtes wants...
"The things in that man's eyes are very strong."
Dorothy walked out and looked at Ephialtes's departing back. "I saw in him a desire for strength and power."
"It's normal. Strength and power are natural pursuits for men. Every boy has liked a long, straight wooden stick and has dreamed of conquering the world."
Holding a wooden stick is seen as a symbol of power, and whipping it makes everyone submit. The idea of conquering the world can even be regarded as an .
"Hmm." Dorothy asked with a long nasal sound and a smile, "So you also have a dream of conquering the world?"
"Conquer the world..."
Mo Cheng tilted his head, not knowing what he was thinking of, and chuckled as he answered, "I think this answer can be replaced with a more elegant statement, such as: career and love."
The idea of conquering the world and ruling everything did occur to me, but it did not last long.
Ever since he entered junior high school and served as the study committee member for a semester, Mo Cheng had given up all thoughts of "ruling".
After all, even the improvement in his classmates' grades made him furious. Mo Cheng felt that when he really "ruled" others one day, the first thing he would do was to kill all the opponents and raise the rest as livestock.
Mo Cheng stretched himself lazily. "It's normal for Ephialtes to borrow my power. It's mutually beneficial for us to use his power to search. As for what he wants to do..."
Mo Cheng was not unfamiliar with the look in Ephialtes's eyes. It was a look that showed someone wanting to "do something big".
But Mo Cheng never paid too much attention to other people's psychological factors.
Not to mention that Ephialtis is a dragonborn, and dragonborns will greatly magnify their own desires. After almost being kidnapped in an alley and even having a small drama, it is not surprising that Ephialtis began to pursue power and strength.
Dorothy suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Have you heard about the recent news?"
"Which news? The dragon's hoard, the dragon's tomb, or the return of the dragons?"
Due to the image of the Time Dragon, a large number of rumors are now circulating in the city of Rothal, and these rumors all have one thing in common.
The content of the rumors has a clear direction, and the news often contains things such as giant dragon treasures, dragon heritage, etc. that tempt others to be greedy.
"Both. Be careful. Those rumors might have been spread by someone on purpose."
What is the purpose of spreading rumors?
There are too many possibilities, such as using illusory treasures to attract others and muddy the situation so as to fish in troubled waters.
At a time when the security situation in Rothal City is extremely low, every additional person who comes with ulterior motives will only make the situation more chaotic.
Or maybe they were simply followers of some evil god who used rumors to attract people and tried to sacrifice the entire city.
There are too many possibilities, and each possibility is not low, it is almost impossible to distinguish them.
Mo Cheng pinched his nose helplessly, "It's almost certain that the news was spread deliberately. What you said before was really right. The whole city has become a whirlpool."
If it weren't for the fact that those instruments were extremely important and related to the [Aghanim's Crystal], and if it weren't for the fact that they knew that once the situation broke out, the instruments hidden in the city of Rothal would most likely be damaged.
According to his standard practice in the [Foreign Land] in the past, he would either turn around and leave without trying to figure out the situation which was like a tangled ball of wool.
Or, they could just ignore the consequences and rush around recklessly, killing any professionals they see on the street, thus completely detonating this time bomb.
Beat someone to death, or be beaten to death.
Honestly speaking, Mo Cheng once felt that the tasks issued by the system were somewhat targeted at him, and each task was issued from the angle that was most inconvenient for him.
Isn't there any simple and easy task for him that just says "go somewhere, kill a few people"?
"I will be careful. As for Helena, I'll leave it to you. It's not right to put all your hopes on one person."
Mo Cheng stood up and walked towards Lilia's room. "I'll go see if Lilia is awake. I hope she's not crying because of a nightmare."
Looking at Mo Cheng's back as he left without looking back, Dorothy couldn't help but sigh, "Should I say that you never hide anything, or should I be happy that you trust me so much?"
Dorothy was not a fool. During this period of time, she could see that something was wrong with Mo Cheng, such as his cooperation with Ephialtis and his undisguised familiarity with the Dragonborn.
Even Dorothy could sense that Mo Cheng had some characteristics that a human shouldn't have, and he had never concealed them.
In addition, after Mo Cheng specifically asked last time whether it was possible to locate the [Dragon Tomb] through [Astrology], Dorothy was able to discover at all costs that Mo Cheng was not a pure human.
…
In the days that followed, Mo Cheng and his team worked in two groups. The others followed Helena to deal with the nobles of Rothal City, while secretly investigating where the Lord of Napa Port had sent the instrument.
Napa Port is far away from Rothal City. The Lord of Napa Port must have someone to pick him up when he was sent here, and that person must be a noble.
As long as we find the nobles to pick us up, the mission will be accomplished.
Mo Cheng himself cooperated with Ephialtis to suppress the frequent chaos in the city of Rothal.
In a secret basement, countless broken limbs were reflected in the dim candlelight, and the strong smell of blood filled the entire basement.
In this place that is like a slaughterhouse, there are only two people still alive, an unconscious person locked in an iron cage, and the murderer who committed this bloody crime.
"I've known for a long time that you were planning to perform a blood sacrifice. Cultists from all regions are particularly fond of this kind of hidden basement."
The lazy words gave people the feeling of a tiger stretching its waist, as if the ferocious beast would pounce on them in the next moment.
The cultists in this place were not very strong, and Mo Cheng cut them into pieces with just the knife in his hand.
"It's only been a few days and the cultists are planning a blood sacrifice. It seems the storm gathering in this city is getting stronger."
The words left by Mo Cheng echoed in the basement, but he carried the cage and the people inside and left the place that had become a pool of blood.
